SHILLONG, May 27: The NPP on Wednesday said decisions relating to the June 18 Rajya Sabha election would be taken collectively through internal discussions among party legislators, amid opposition claims of growing divisions within the ruling party.

NPP national president and Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma said the party did not function through a “high command” system and instead followed a democratic process where discussions and differing opinions were encouraged before any decision was finalised. Briefing reporters, Sangma said party members and MLAs would sit together and decide the way forward on the Rajya Sabha election collectively.

According to him, differences of opinion within the party should not be viewed as signs of division but as part of a healthy democratic process.

Sangma also dismissed MPCC president Vincent H. Pala’s allegations of widening cracks within the ruling party. He concluded by saying that Pala should be more concerned about the situation within the Congress rather than speculating about the NPP.

NEW DELHI, May 27: A Singapore court sentenced Byju Raveendran, founder of Byju’s, to six months in jail for contempt of court over alleged non-compliance with disclosure orders, but the entrepreneur said the ruling was “procedural” and that he plans to appeal.

The ruling marks the most serious legal setback yet for the founder of Byju’s, once one of India’s most valuable startups, which has been battling investor disputes, debt litigation and operational turmoil following a sharp post-pandemic downturn.

The court ordered Raveendran to surrender himself to authorities, pay legal costs of Singapore dollar 90,000 (USD 70,500) and produce documents relating to his ownership of Beeaar Investco Pte, a Singapore entity that held shares in an affiliated company.

It was not immediately clear whether Raveendran was in Singapore at the time of the order.

His lawyers said they are contemplating an appeal against the decision and applying for a stay of the order.

The case was brought by a subsidiary of Qatar Investment Authority, which invested in Byju’s during a funding round as the company was grappling with lay-offs and mounting financial pressure.
