 Hello and welcome to NewsClick. I am Aditi and this is the Daily Roundup. Let's have a quick look at the top stories for today. The SC heard a plea by Congress MP Sushmita Dev today after she accused PM Modi and BJP Chief Amit Shah of model code violations. The Prime Minister was accused of violating the model code for his references to the Pulwama and Balakot strikes during election campaigning, which has been banned by the Commission. A number of political leaders including Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath and Union Minister Maneka Gandhi, Maya Vati, Samaj Vadi Parties Azam Khan and Congress' Navjod Siddhu were handed temporary bans from campaigning. The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Election Commission of India saying that it has the power to take appropriate action on each individual case and has fixed May 2nd as the date for the next hearing. By the early elections around the corner, NewsClick has been extensively covering issues faced by the locals in Delhi. We visited Seema Puri and Jhilmil, unauthorized resettlement colonies where most of the residents are migrant workers. Roughly 50,000 people live in these two colonies. NewsClick spoke to the residents to understand their issues from disenfranchisement to unfulfilled promises from four years ago. The government has failed here. As far as the question of the election candidate is concerned, the politicians have been Mahesh Giriji and Barti Guntabati. I believe that some people may have seen their situation. If there are five votes in the House, then only one is left, four are removed, three of them are removed, two of them are removed. In this way, the public has decided that something like this is happening. If we take them away, then we will have to face problems. They say, fill up the form, then make your identification letter, then check the voter list, then we will move forward and write an application. Without this, the government is troubling the public. In the evening, you have to see here that two bottles of liquor have been opened. When there was no bottle of liquor here, people gathered in the garden and removed the bottles and sent them to the men market. And there were four bottles of liquor. Now you will see that people are drinking liquor on the road. It has been five years since I started the ration card. It has not become mine. It is everywhere. You are the only voter of the time. How will we do this? What will your mother do? Tell me. The elections have changed in Shansad. In which, Gautam Gambir and Bharti Chintaparte are coming to fight in elections. And Gautam Gambir has no work here. No one has ever seen Gautam Gambir. Which is expected from the Bharti Chintaparte. You are the hope of the party. Ati Shri. Because, at least in that area, people will come. The problems that are faced by the young and educated people here are the biggest problems faced by the educated people. The martyrs who are affected by our struggle are the children who are in Simapuri. The martyrs who are affected by our struggle are the children who are in Simapuri. I just want to run naturally the way I was born. It is not fair that I am told I must change. I am Mukhgadi Caster Semenya. I am a woman. And I am fast. Two-time Olympic gold medalist sprinter Caster Semenya's appeal against the International Amateur Athletics Federation will be decided on by the Court of Arbitration for sport on May the 1st. Semenya's statement, strong and determined, sums up the South African athlete's side of the fight. Across the world, many other disciplines are looking at what could be a landmark judgment for women. And no matter which way the scale tilts at the CAS, women's sport will not be the same again. The 2016 Olympic champions' direct fight is against the IAAF's difference of sexual development regulation introduced last year. The regulation forces Semenya and other women athletes who have higher than normal testosterone levels to take hormonal medication to artificially reduce levels in order to be eligible to compete in elite international competitions, such as the Olympics and world championships. The rule will apply to women in track events from 400 meters up to the mile. These athletes would be forced to undergo frequent tests and monitoring, train through the changes that their body would undergo due to the drugs, and forced to live in these laboratory-monitored confines. Semenya has been battling for her rights almost single-handedly for 10 years, but the case will have wide-ranging implications on how competitive sport and gender identities will coexist. Tomorrow is May the 1st, also known as May Day. Back in 1884, on the same day, a peaceful protest by workers in Chicago resulted in a tumult of bomb-throwing and police repression against the workers. The Second International, which was an organization of socialist and labour parties formed in Paris in 1889, declared this day of clash May 1, as the day for workers across the world to fight for the eight-hour day. Let us take a look at a video prepared by our team at NewsClick that demonstrates the history and importance of May Day in India and globally. The history of May Day is the history of workers uniting to fight for an end to oppressive work conditions. It's a history that's powerful, often violent, and a fight that continues. In 19th century USA, workers faced harsh conditions, including long work days. It was this oppression that united socialist workers and they rose up to demand an eight-hour work day. Their resistance ultimately changed the course of history. On May 1, 1884, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labour Unions proclaimed at its National Convention in Chicago that eight hours shall constitute a legal day's labour. They demanded this legal protection be enacted by May 1, 1886. Along with the lights of labour, the unions reiterated these calls relentlessly. They were the voice of over a quarter of million workers in just the Chicago area. With time, their demands extended from the eight-hour work day to proposing and fighting for structural changes in the way wealth is distributed in the capitalist model. On May 1, 1886, more than 300,000 workers across the United States walked out of their jobs on strike. They demanded the implementation of the eight-hour work day. This marked the first ever May Day celebrations. Three days later, on May 4, the strike turned violent with clashes erupting between police and workers. At one public meeting, at Haymarket Square, clashes led to the police firing on protesters. At least 16 people were killed, including policemen, and several dozen more injured. It is this history of labour organization against trade repression that laid the foundation for the rights that workers around the world have today, at least in theory. India first celebrated Labour Day in 1923 with a public meeting on Marina Beach in Chennai. The red flag, now entrenched in the identity of the left, was used for the first time at the event organised by the Labour-Kisan Party of Hindustan and MS Chettiar, one of the founders of the Communist Party of India. Almost a century later, the relevance of May Day has only grown, with workers' realities and working conditions on a steady downward spiral. Under the recent neoliberal regimes, including the current BJP government, workers across sectors and across the nation have had to withstand a constant assault. Unemployment is on the rise, real wages are dipping. Regular jobs are being replaced by short-term contractual employment, even in the public sector. Labour laws are being dismantled, public services and nationalised sectors are being privatised. Women's employment is at an all-time low and there is a deliberate marginalisation of workers from the national agenda. In this time of crises, workers and trade unions across political lines have joined hands to stand up for their rights. The last four years have witnessed unprecedented levels of mobilisation of workers from across sectors and transcending party affiliations. This May Day, we salute their struggle. To wrap up our May Day special, here is a performance of John Elias Poyam Elane Jang by Satyam Tiwari. Our hearts are filled with sorrows and sorrows. We have been taken away from the risk of our machines. Our workers on our side are part of the destruction. This May Day is the day for the rights of happy people. This May Day is the day for the health and well-being of the people. This May Day is the day for the health and well-being of the people. This May Day is the day for the health and well-being of the people.
