SC says Jayalalithaa using cases to choke democracy

The Supreme Court today again reprimanded Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa for using defamation cases to "throttle democracy" and asked her to face criticism as she was a public figure. "This is not done. You can't use defamation case to throttle democracy. This is not healthy democracy. You must face criticism if you are a public figure," a bench of Justices Dipak Misra and C Nagappan said. "Government cannot use state machinery to file criminal defamation cases against political opponents. It should focus more on good governance," the bench asserted. The court's observations came on a petition filed by DMDK chief A Vijayakanth seeking quashing of defamation cases filed against him by state government. The apex court had on July 28 said defamation cases should not be used as a political counter weapon against the critics of governments and had stayed non-bailable warrants issued against the actor-turned-politician Vijayakanth and his wife Premlata in such matters.

Prasad emerges as Jayalalithaa's favourite Union minister

After Power Minister Piyush Goyal's observation that Jayalalithaa was an inaccessible chief minister and this was impeding power sector reforms in Tamil Nadu, it appears Information Technology and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has emerged as Jayalalithaa's favourite Union minister (after Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu). When Prasad phoned the Tamil Nadu CM to congratulate her, she wondered ingenuously if he had come campaigning in Tamil Nadu. "I criticised your party, Madam," said Prasad. "But never you…" He said she giggled at his remark and invited him to come to the state. So, now we know who the go-between is going to be between the Centre and Tamil Nadu.
