Let us reflect, refocus and rebuild our party – Kwaku Appiah urges NPP membersMUMBAI: The BJP’s Colaba MLA Rahul Narwekar is set to be elected speaker of the assembly for the second time, a record hitherto held only by Congress MLA Balasaheb Bharde in the sixties. Narwekar’s appointment will be officially announced on Monday. On the day of filing nominations for the post of the speaker of the 15th Maharashtra legislative assembly, Narwekar’s was the only application received by returning officer Jitendra Bhole. The opposition does not have the adequate strength to claim the post. Pro-tem speaker Kalidas Kolambkar will complete the procedure by announcing Narwekar’s name in the lower house on the last day of the three-day special session. The MLA on Sunday claimed that nobody could point a finger at the decisions taken and rulings given by him in his first term as speaker. “The second term too will be dedicated to the people of the state by focusing on justice for them,” he said. “It will be an impartial tenure and I seek the cooperation of all my fellow MLAs in the lower house.” Narwekar is the second MLA to serve two terms in the speaker’s chair. Balasaheb alias Trimbak Bharde, a Gandhian and Congress leader who represented Shevgaon in Ahmednagar, served as the speaker from 1962 to 1972. Narwekar served a two-and-a-half-year term from July 3, 2022 and was the second-youngest speaker when elected to the post. Shivaraj Chakukar Patil was the youngest speaker of Maharashtra when he was elected to the post in March 1978. He was 42 then. Narwekar, 47, was a practising lawyer in the Bombay high court and is a two-term MLA from Colaba in South Mumbai. Son-in-law of senior NCP leader and former legislative council chairperson Ramraje Naik Nimbalkar, he began his political career as the Shiv Sena spokesperson in 1999. He quit the Sena in 2014 after he was denied a Lok Sabha ticket and joined the NCP, subsequently contesting the Lok Sabha polls unsuccessfully from Maval. In 2019, he joined the BJP and contested from the Colaba assembly constituency, winning as an MLA for the first time. In his election affidavit in November this year, Narwekar announced his assets as ₹ 129.81 crore, up from ₹ 38.09 crore in 2019 and ₹ 10 crore in 2014. His younger brother Makrand and sister-in-law Harshita were former BMC corporators from Colaba and Cuffe Parade while his father, Suresh Narwekar, was also a councillor from Colaba. During his tenure, Narwekar delivered two important judgments. The Shiv Sena and NCP had been vertically split in June 2022 and July 2023 respectively and Narwekar, as the speaker, held hearings to decide on the “real” Shiv Sena and NCP on the directions of the Supreme Court. He ruled that the breakaway factions of the Sena under Eknath Shinde and the NCP under Ajit Pawar were the real parties, and the name and symbol of the undivided parties was allotted to them. The MLA is also heading a committee to look into the constitutional provisions that deal with the defection of MLAs and MPs in the anti-defection law. The committee was announced by Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla in January this year. The Shiv Sena too was reportedly demanding the speaker’s post as part of the power-sharing pact between the three ruling parties. However, the BJP retained the post, and picked Narwekar for it for the second consecutive time. Another name being considered was that of senior BJP legislator Sudhir Mungantiwar. “But the party leadership thinks that Narwekar is the best choice for the post, given his ruling in the disqualification petitions related to the Shiv Sena and NCP,” said a BJP leader. “Although he was eyeing a ministerial berth, there aren’t enough berths from Mumbai to accommodate him.” Narwekar was also interested in contesting the Lok Sabha election from Mumbai South, but the seat went to the Shiv Sena in the seat-sharing pact.

Tallinn (Estonia), Nov 23 (AP) Belarus has granted asylum to a former Polish judge who faced espionage charges at home following his defection in May to the Kremlin-allied country. A decree published on Friday by Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus' autocratic president, described Tomasz Szmydt as being “prosecuted for political reasons” in Poland. The country is an EU and NATO member that has lent vocal support to Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression. Also Read | Pakistan Violence: 15 Killed, 25 Injured in Fresh Sectarian Clashes in Kurram, 2 Days After Attack on Passenger Vehicles. Szmydt's defection to Belarus in May trained the focus on Poland as a key target for Russian intelligence activity and ignited a bitter political row over the circumstances of his rapid ascent through the ranks of the Polish justice system. Poland's prosecutors and special services launched an investigation the same month after Belarus media reported that Szmydt arrived in the country and asked for protection. Warsaw responded days later by putting Szmydt on a wanted list, a step toward an international arrest warrant on spying allegations that would restrict his ability to travel internationally. Also Read | Gautam Adani Indicted: US SEC Summons Indian Billionaire's Nephew Sagar in Bribery Case. Polish officials have been working to determine how harmful Szmydt's knowledge of any classified information might be to the interests of Warsaw and its Western allies. Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk has publicly called him a traitor. Szmydt fled to Belarus after resigning from his post as a judge at the Warsaw Administrative Court, saying in a public statement that he was doing so in protest against Poland's “harmful and unjust” policy toward Belarus and Russia. A short time later, he appeared at a press conference in Belarus, praising Lukashenko's regime and presenting himself as a victim of repression. A Polish court later that month lifted Szmydt's immunity, allowing him to be tried in absentia for spying allegations that he has denied. Szmydt was notorious in Poland for having engaged in a 2019 online smear campaign against other judges that was sponsored by the Justice Ministry under the previous right-wing government. Three years later, he appeared to switch sides, appearing in a TV documentary to expose what he said was unethical behaviour by judges close to the ruling party. Szmydt's defection came as a shock in Poland, which has a history of distrust of Russia. Belarus has been one of the Kremlin's few close allies since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and Lukashenko has relied on Moscow's subsidies and support. In return, he has allowed Moscow to use Belarusian territory to send troops and weapons into the neighbouring state, and to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil. Authorities in Minsk have been ratcheting up repressive measures ahead of a presidential election in January in which the strongman leader is seeking a seventh term, including by arresting hundreds of people who have shown solidarity with Kyiv. Authorities responded to massive protests following the widely disputed 2020 election of Lukashenko with a wide-ranging crackdown in which about 65,000 people were arrested. Major opposition figures were either imprisoned or fled the country, and human rights activists say Belarus is holding about 1,300 political prisoners.
