The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government succeeded in passing a trust vote during the Budget session in the Delhi Assembly on Saturday. Out of the 62 AAP MLAs, 54 were present for the voting. Kejriwal affirmed that there were no defections within the AAP, clarifying that two MLAs were in jail, while others were either unwell or out of town.

Simultaneously, Arvind Kejriwal appeared before a Delhi court via video conferencing in response to five earlier summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding the liquor policy case on Saturday (Feb 17). The court, stressing on&nbsp;Kejriwal's legal obligation to comply, adjourned the hearing to March 16.

<h2>ED's allegations and Kejriwal's defiance</h2>

The ED has accused the Delhi chief minister of deliberately evading summons and providing "lame excuses," asserting that his non-compliance sets a negative precedent for the public.

Kejriwal's motion for a trust vote coincides with the ED's upcoming sixth summon&nbsp;on February 19, amidst AAP's persistent claims of illegal summons&nbsp;and alleged arrest threats.

Ahead of the confidence vote, Kejriwal alleged BJP's attempts to coerce AAP MLAs into defection, citing instances where BJP members purportedly approached MLAs with arrest threats against the chief minister and offers of monetary inducement to switch parties.

Kejriwal aims to use the trust vote to put forth AAP's unity and deter defections. With AAP having 62 MLAs in the 70-member Assembly and BJP eight, Kejriwal seeks to solidify his party's position amidst growing political tensions.

Indian taxpayers with lingering doubts can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has initiated a taxpayer-friendly move, extinguishing eligible outstanding direct tax demands up to Rs 1 lakh per individual.

As per the&nbsp;order&nbsp;issued on February 13, 2024, the process to remit and extinguish qualifies for&nbsp;outstanding tax demands as of January 31, 2024.<o:p></o:p>

This initiative, outlined in the 2024 Interim Budget, aims to clear the books for millions and streamline the tax ecosystem.<o:p></o:p>

This move targets a significant chunk of taxpayers burdened by "petty, non-verified, non-reconciled or disputed" demands dating back to 1962. <o:p></o:p>

These demands, often stemming from the Income-tax Act&nbsp;1961, Wealth-tax Act&nbsp;1957, and Gift-tax Act 1958, have caused undue anxiety and hindered refunds for many.<o:p></o:p>

How much relief?<o:p></o:p>

	<li class="MsoNormal">Assessment years 2011-12 to 2015-16:&nbsp;Up to Rs10,000 per demand entry.<o:p></o:p></li>

Indian senior women's hockey coach Janneke Schopmann has made a big claim. After India's 2-1 win over USA, via shootout, in the FIH Pro League match in Rourkela on Sunday (Feb 18), the&nbsp;46-year-old former Dutch player&nbsp;alleged differential treatment meted out to her by&nbsp;the administrators of the sport in India. She went onto add that&nbsp;she has felt all alone since taking over as&nbsp;the head coach. Schopman further&nbsp;stated that&nbsp;her opinions have not been valued enough since taking over from Sjoerd Marijne.

<h2>‘I come from a culture where women are respected and valued,&nbsp;don’t feel that here’</h2>

Schopman&nbsp;said, "Because I come from a culture where women are respected and valued. I don’t feel that here. From not very many people – and I do feel people working here on the ground are amazing from Hockey India. But I feel it’s so hard."

She further opined, "I look at the difference in how men’s coaches are treated between me and the men’s coach, or the girls and the men’s team, just in general. They never complain and they work so hard. I am not saying, I don’t know, I don’t know why and I shouldn’t speak for them so I won't."

"I love them. I think they work so hard, they do what I ask, they wanna learn, wanna do new things but for me personally coming from the Netherlands, having worked in the USA, this country is extremely difficult as a woman, coming from a culture where, yeah, you can have an opinion and it’s valued. It’s really hard," the Dutch woman added.

Schopman,&nbsp;who secured a gold medal with her national side&nbsp;in&nbsp;Beijing Olympics, took over from&nbsp;Marijne after the latter declined an extension offer. She served as the analytical coach for the women's hockey team in early 2020 but got elevated as the head coach following Tokyo Games.

The former Netherlands player pointed out, "Even when I was the assistant coach, some people wouldn't even look at me or wouldn't acknowledge me or wouldn't respond and then you become the chief coach and all of a sudden, people are interested in you. I struggled a lot with that. That is one thing."

Schopman has revealed that&nbsp;she is undecided&nbsp;on whether to stay on as the head coach. However, she was quick to point out that&nbsp;players want her to carry on and guide them.

"I'm going to reflect, 'did I do a good enough job, yes or no?'. I need to ask that myself. I have spoken to the players a little. I appreciate their opinion. They are the ones in charge. I think they need to want me to be there, that's the first decision. Also, I need to want to be there. Hockey India needs to want me to be there. At this point, I must say Dilip Tirkey has been very very supportive since the Asian Games and that, I have appreciated a lot. It's been tough for me, the team. I must say the support I haven't felt a lot in the last year so his support means a lot," she added.
