311 jilipark com In a significant political development in Peru, Congress has ousted the Energy and Mines Minister, Romulo Mucho, in response to protests from small-scale miners. The miners are demanding an extension to a program that allows them to operate while awaiting legal recognition, saying the upcoming deadline does not provide sufficient time for formalization. President Dina Boluarte now faces the challenge of responding to Congress' decision within a strict 72-hour timeframe. She must appoint a new minister to oversee the energy and mines sectors, crucial to Peru's economy, especially as the country ranks as the world's third-largest copper producer. The congressional decision emerged from a panel of nearly 80 legislators, with four opposing the removal and 13 abstaining. Last week, the government proposed a six-month extension, but the miners insist this period is inadequate to address their operational concerns. (With inputs from agencies.)

The Maha Aghadi Vikas (MVA) lost the Maharashtra Assembly Elections to the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance by a huge margin. The Mahayuti is likely to win 235 seats of the total 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra. This leaves 50 seats for the MVA (INDIA bloc) and two seats for Independent candidates. As the Maharashtra Election Results were declared on Saturday, speculations were rife whether the MVA would get the Leader of Opposition status in the Maharashtra Assembly. The MVA's share in the Maharashtra Assembly is as follows: Congress: 16 Shiv Sena (UBT): 20 seats NCP-SP : 10 Samajwadi Party (SP) : 2 Communist Party of India (Marxist) - CPI(M): 1 Peasants And Workers Party of India - PWPI : 1 Will MVA get Leader of Opposition status? The document titled 'Leaders of Opposition in Maharashtra Legislature Salaries and Allowances Act, 1978' states that the Leader of the Opposition is elected from the party in the Opposition with the "greatest numerical strength" and is recognised as such by the Speaker of the Assembly. “'Leader of the Opposition' in relation to either House of the State Legislature, means that member of the State Legislature Assembly or the State Legislature Council as the case may be who is for the time being the Leader in that House of the party in opposition to the State Government having the greatest numerical strength and recognised as such by the Speaker of the Assembly or the Chairman of the Council as the case may be,” the document stated. The document added that in case there are two or more parties in Opposition to the State Government in the Assembly or in the Council having the same numerical strength, the Speaker of the Assembly or the Chairman of the Council will recognise any one of the Leaders of such parties as the Leader of the Opposition. Is there 10% rule for choosing LoP? Based on "tradition", it is claimed that a political party needs at 10 percent seats in the House for the Leader of the Opposition status. This "rule" is mostly followed in the Lok Sabha, or the lower house of Parliament. The Institute of Secretariat Training and Management mentioned in one of its booklet that the recognition of the Leader of Opposition is given by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha – “provided the largest party in opposition have minimum 55 MP in the House [Lok Sabha]”. However, no such rule is mentioned in the Constitution, and there has been no mention of this "rule" applying to state assemblies. Short history of 10% rule: The incident dates back to August 2014 when the then Lok Sabha Speaker the Congress's demand for the post of leader of the opposition (LoP) in the Lower House of Parliament because the party doesn’t have enough representatives in the Lok Sabha. Mahajan had then told news agency PTI, “ I have gone by rules and tradition ." She had cited a rule that said a party has to have a minimum of 55 seats (which is 10% of 543 seats) in the Lok Sabha for its leader to be given this status. Another reason she had cited was past precedent: in 1980 and 1984, no party was given LoP status in the Lok Sabha . However, months later, the Lok Sabha Secretariat said in response to a Right to Information (RTI) query that there is no minimum percentage of seats required for appointment of a LoP. "There is no minimum percentage prescribed for the selection of the Leader of Opposition," Under Secretary of the Lok Sabha Secretariat K Sona said in reply to a query by Mumbai-based RTI activist Anil Galgali.Gwent writer listed in Shaw Trust Disability Power 100 2024NDP will not support Liberal GST holiday bill unless rebate expanded: Singh

MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) -Bayern Munich battled past 10-man Paris St Germain 1-0 in the Champions League thanks to Kim Min-jae’s winner on Tuesday to improve their chances of automatic qualification and leave the visitors in trouble after a third loss in the competition. It was the second straight win for Bayern in the competition after a rocky start of one victory and two defeats, lifting them to 11th with nine points from five games, a point off the top eight places that bring automatic qualification for the last 16. Luis Enrique’s PSG are 26th on four, outside the playoff spots with three matches remaining in the first phase. Bundesliga leaders Bayern, who visit Borussia Dortmund on Saturday before next week’s German Cup last-16 clash at home to holders Bayer Leverkusen, had the better start against PSG and two early opportunities through Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane. The visitors responded with a double chance of their own but neither Ousmane Dembele, who was sent off just before the hour mark, nor Joao Neves could beat goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. With PSG’s only win so far coming against Girona in their opener they were desperate for points but Bayern struck first with South Korea’s Kim heading home from close range after keeper Matvei Safonov fluffed a corner in the 38th minute. Before the French side’s defence had time to recover Bayern almost scored a second five minutes before halftime with Kingsley Coman firing over the bar after a solo run. Things got worse for Luis Enrique’s PSG side when Dembele was dismissed for a lunging tackle that brought a second booking in the 57th, leaving an already struggling side down to 10. Bayern tried to make the most of the extra man, piling pressure on the visitors, and Coman came close again in the 66th minute, narrowly missing the target after a quick passing move. Safonov made amends for his earlier mistake by tipping a Musiala shot onto the post, but despite some late pressure PSG could not prevent Bayern claiming a seventh consecutive victory and seventh straight clean sheet in all competitions.
