Kerala Court Orders Probe Against CM Vijayan For Beating Oppn Protesters

A lower court in Kerala has ordered a probe against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for beating Congress-led opposition protestors in 2023 during his bus yatra. The Ernakulam Chief Judicial Magistrate Court has asked the Ernakulam Central Police to conduct a probe following a complaint filed by the Ernakulam district Congress Committee President Mohammed Shiyas.

In December 2023, Vijayan and his entire cabinet were travelling in a bus across the 140 Assembly constituencies. The bus yatra, named ‘Nava Kerala Sadas,’ was taken out to meet the people and lay the foundation for building a new Kerala. However, the Congress-led opposition staged a protest against Vijayan, claiming that the yatra was a waste of resources. At numerous places, the protesters were mercilessly beaten up by the police, while cades of the CPI-M also joined in roughing up the protesters.

The attack on the protesters first became news on the second day of the trip in Vijayan’s home district- Kannur, when both the police and the local CPI-M cadres badly beat up the protesters. At Alappuzha, things went out of control when the Chief Minister’s personal security guard jumped out of the bus and, using a big lathi, was seen beating up a protesting Youth Congress worker.

However, the Chief Minister then said it was an act of rescue (Reksha Proverthenem) to save the protesters from going under the moving bus. The police probe team that investigated the incident gave the security guard a clean chit.

Telangana's Judicial Commission On SC Sub-Categorisation To Submit Report In 60 Days

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday directed that the one-man judicial commission on Scheduled Caste (SC) sub-categorisation submit its report within 60 days. The government also decided that new job notifications should be issued after the commission’s report is received.

The Chief Minister asked officials to take steps to implement the Supreme Court order on SC sub-categorisation and suggested the use of the 2011 Census data as a basis for the measure. He wanted officials to make arrangements within 24 hours to constitute a judicial commission. At a meeting with the Cabinet Sub-Committee on SC sub-categorisation, the Chief Minister asked officials to take action based on the sub-committee’s decisions. The sub-committee on Tuesday decided to recommend the appointment of a one-man judicial commission to study sub-classification within the SC reserved categories. Sub-committee Chairman and Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, sub-committee members Damodar Rajanarasimha, D. Seethakka, D. Sridhar Babu, government advisors K. Kesava Rao and Vem Narender, Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari and other senior officials attended the meeting.

The sub-committee earlier decided to recommend the constitution of a one-man judicial commission, led by a retired judge of the Supreme Court or High Court, to assess intra-backwardness among different castes within the SCs. Uttam Kumar Reddy highlighted that this process must be legally sound and withstand judicial scrutiny. During the meeting, the officials informed that the Advocate General had already given the draft terms of reference for appointing the judicial commission.

It was also reported that various recruitment boards in the state, including the TSPSC, the TGLPRB, the SCCL, the MHSRB, and the Transmission Corporation, have been directed to submit data on the sub-caste-wise employment of SCs. About 30 per cent of the required data from the Finance Department has already been gathered.

We May Follow Haryana Model To Win Assam Polls: Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika

We May Follow Haryana Model To Win Assam Polls: Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika

Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika on Wednesday said that the BJP’s return to power in Haryana for the third consecutive term is a remarkable achievement, and Assam may follow the Haryana model when the northeastern state heads to the polls in 2026.

Hazarika told reporters here, “Our party won the Haryana assembly polls after staying in power in that state for 10 years. This is a very big thing. Any party that wins state polls for the third consecutive term is a remarkable thing and the BJP showed it in Haryana.” He said that when Assam goes to polls in 2026, the state unit of the BJP may follow the Haryana model. “We will complete 10 years in power in Assam before the next assembly polls in 2026. Our party will seek a win for the third consecutive term two years later. At that time, we may follow the Haryana model where our party made a hattrick in the recently concluded polls,” Hazarika said adding that in many parameters other states have been following the Assam model and hence there is no harm in taking good things from other states.

The minister stated, “The Assam government’s direct cash transfer scheme to women – Orunodoi was successfully replicated by many states in the country. We have given 1.5 lakh jobs in the last three years which is also a talking point in national politics.” Notably, the BJP surprised everyone by winning 48 seats and securing a third straight term in the Haryana Assembly elections. According to pollsters, this achievement is due to a number of important tactics.

First, important OBC support was obtained by consolidating non-Jat votes, especially by confirming Nayab Singh Saini as chief minister. Second, in order to fight anti-incumbency, the party replaced 60 candidates with new ones, which was a stark contrast to Congress’ strategy. Third, development and Direct Benefit Transfers were the focus of intensive campaigning. Furthermore, anti-BJP votes were diminished by a dispersed opposition. Lastly, the BJP won the polls due to its strong election apparatus, which performed better than the Congress.

BJP’s A.N.S. Prasad Slams Tamil Nadu Government’s TASMAC Sales Push For Diwali, Calls For 3-Day Closure

BJP Slams TN Government's TASMAC Sales Push For Diwali, Calls For 3-Day Closure

In a recent statement, ANS Prasad, the spokesperson for the Tamil Nadu BJP, voiced serious concerns over the state government’s initiative to increase TASMAC (Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation) sales during the Diwali festival. He criticized the administration for prioritizing alcohol sales over the welfare of impoverished families and urged Chief Minister MK Stalin to take immediate action to stop this initiative.

Prasad condemned the state government for setting sales targets for TASMAC outlets, calling it “shameful” and harmful to numerous families struggling during the festive period. He proposed that the Chief Minister declare a three-day holiday for TASMAC stores on 30, 31 October and 1 November 2024 to ease the burden on economically disadvantaged individuals during Diwali celebrations.

He denounced the government’s focus on boosting alcohol sales, arguing that it would only exacerbate the hardships faced by many low-income families. “This is not a success; it’s a distressing outcome that will hinder many from celebrating Diwali,” he remarked, emphasizing the need for the government to acknowledge the detrimental effects of such policies on society.

Prasad also pointed out the Tamil Nadu government’s contradictory approach to alcohol regulation. The current push to increase sales contradicts those promises despite Chief Minister Stalin’s commitments to enforce prohibition and reduce TASMAC outlets. He labelled these actions a significant betrayal of public trust.

Additionally, Prasad warned against fostering a culture of alcohol consumption, suggesting that the government’s actions could lead Tamil Nadu toward increased substance abuse and related social problems. He called for stricter measures to combat illegal liquor sales and to ensure that legitimate TASMAC stores do not exploit vulnerable communities during the festive season.

Anti-people and anti-social forces are thriving in Tamil Nadu now that TASMAC is under the control of DMK Minister Senthil Balaji, who has a reputation for corruption. This situation is dangerous, as Tamil Nadu risks becoming a liquor empire where the “bar” culture and rowdyism prevail.

TASMAC should be phased out, and illegal liquor sales must be strictly controlled. The government must ban illegal 24-hour bars and act strongly against their operators. Minister Senthil Balaji’s decision to push for record alcohol sales during Diwali is reprehensible. There is a growing sentiment that the enforcement department should intervene to protect the people.

Under no circumstances should drug culture be promoted in Tamil Nadu. The TASMAC order will distress countless poor families, particularly during the Diwali season when they are already stretched thin buying essentials for their children and families. The government’s plans resemble the actions of a tyrannical regime.

The Tamil Nadu government should not make the mothers weep because of the Diwali liquor sales target. Chief Minister Stalin and Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin must intervene and ensure that TASMAC declares a holiday for liquor shops during the festival.

He also questioned whether Thirumavalavan would condemn the Tamil Nadu government. The conference started as a pro-abstinence conference but ended as an anti-BJP gathering.

Is the government unconcerned about promoting liquor sales during the Diwali Hindu festival? The people of Tamil Nadu should recognize that while the government provides a small sum as a women’s rights benefit, it simultaneously takes much more from them through TASMAC. It is crucial for the people to realize that the government is becoming increasingly anti-people and to support those advocating for their rights.

Andhra Issues Directive To Safeguard Vedic And Agama Traditions Free From Bureaucratic Interference

In a groundbreaking move, the Andhra Pradesh government has become one of the first states in India to issue an abstract implementation under Section 13(1) of the Endowments Act a directive that mandates government officials to refrain from interfering with the Vedic and Agama traditions of temples, preserving the sanctity of their customs and practices. The government emphasizes the importance of strict adherence to statutory provisions to ensure these traditions are upheld without disruption.

According to GO No 223, dated 9 October 2024, the AP government instructed all departmental authorities to comply with Section 13(1) of the AP Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987. This act aims to ensure temples’ autonomy regarding Vaidic and Agama traditions and preserve the sanctity of their customs and practices without disturbance in Andhra Pradesh.

It declares that no administrative authority, including the Commissioner, Regional Joint Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, or Assistant Commissioner, shall interfere with the Agama traditions, customs, and practices of the respective temples in any way.

According to the order, all decisions regarding important religious matters, such as the performance of rituals and services to deities, the scheduling of auspicious times for Yagams and Kumbabhishekams, and the introduction of new rituals, the opinions of the senior-most archakas and religious staff shall take precedence concerning religious aspects. Executive Officers may form Vaidic committees with the senior religious staff of the temples, if necessary. If any doubts or disagreements arise within the committee, the opinions of recognized Peethadhipathis related to the specific Agama may be consulted, notes the order. No religious institution shall be compelled to adopt the customs of another institution, even if they belong to the same Agama, it further says.

Executive authorities shall not interfere in rituals or services to deities, the scheduling of auspicious times, or festivals except to ensure adherence to that specific temple’s Agama traditions, customs, and practices. The Commissioner of Endowments is tasked with taking further action on this matter.

NIA Arrests Another Key Hizb-Ut-Tahrir Suspect From Chennai In Terror Recruitment Case

Police Arrest Six Men Recruiting For Hizb ut-Tahrir

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Chennai has apprehended another significant suspect in the Tamil Nadu Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) case. Faizul Rahman identified as a Nakib and the State Amir of Hizb-ut-Tahrir for Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, becomes the seventh individual arrested in connection with the case. This case pertains to a conspiracy led by Hameed Hussain and others aimed at promoting secessionism through the anti-India ideology.

Rahman was found to be actively collaborating with the other detained individuals to advocate for secessionism and solicit military support from Pakistan for the liberation of Kashmir. The conspiracy’s ultimate goal was to establish a Khilafat by overthrowing the Indian government through violent jihad. Investigations by the NIA revealed that Rahman and his associates utilized various social media platforms to disseminate their propaganda and campaigned against voting, labeling it as ‘un-Islamic/haram’ in line with Hizb-ut-Tahrir beliefs.

The arrested individuals had been propagating the violent ideology of HuT under directives from the organization’s central media office, employing encrypted communication channels to reach their followers. They conducted numerous clandestine meetings to promote HuT’s ideology and executed divisive campaigns throughout Tamil Nadu. The NIA, which took over the investigation from the Chennai City police in July 2024, continues its inquiries.

Earlier, the Chennai Cyber Crime Police detained six individuals under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for allegedly recruiting for Hizb ut-Tahrir in Royapettah. Those arrested included Dr. Hameed Hussain, his father Mansoor, his brother Abdul Rahman, and their associates Mohammed Maris, Khader Nawaz Sharif, and Ahmed Ali Umari.

These arrests followed an investigation revealing that the group was using YouTube campaigns to recruit for Hizb ut-Tahrir, an organization banned in several countries. The Chennai Police subsequently submitted all relevant documents to the Tamil Nadu government, leading to the NIA registering a case and expanding the investigation.

On 30 June 2024, the NIA conducted searches at 12 locations across Chennai, Pudukkottai, Thanjavur, and Trichy. These raids resulted in the arrests of Abdul Rahman and Mujibur Rahman (also known as Mujibur Rahman Altham Sahib) from Thanjavur district. Authorities seized mobile phones, laptops, SIM cards, memory cards, and documents promoting Hizb ut-Tahrir, Khilafah, and Islamic State ideologies.

The NIA’s ongoing investigation suggests that those arrested had recruited members for the internationally banned organization through their online activities. The case has since been transferred from the Central Crime Branch-Cyber Crime Police to the NIA, which is now managing all related evidence and documentation.

Further inquiries will focus on the financial transactions of the arrested individuals. Officials intend to trace the flow of funds into their bank accounts and identify potential additional beneficiaries.

Thirsty Crowds Drank From Fire Engines at Chennai Air Show

AIADMK has filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), calling for a full and independent inquiry into the deaths of five people during the Chennai air show. AIADMK’s I S Inbadurai, in a complaint to NHRC chairperson Vijaya Bharathi Sayani, requested a thorough investigation into the deaths of five innocent people and the injuries to many others.

On October 6, Chennai witnessed a spectacular airshow from 11 AM to 1 PM, attended by more than 13 lakh people. While the Greater Chennai Police had earlier stated that 6,500 police officers and 1,500 home guards were deployed for duty, they failed to maintain the crowd, resulting in five deaths. At the same time, over 47 people were admitted to various hospitals. In the complaint, Inbadurai blamed the state government for poor planning and mismanagement in handling the crowd and traffic. He stated that while Chief Minister MK Stalin, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, and their family were provided with excellent arrangements, including air-conditioned enclosures, the public faced “severe hardships.”

The complainant also pointed out that the Commission had the power to take notice of such incidents, investigate them, and take necessary action against the erring officials responsible for the five deaths. Meanwhile, the Leader of the Opposition in the state Legislative Assembly, Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS), lashed out at Chief Minister MK Stalin, saying that the government and police failed to coordinate the air show, which the Indian Air Force had correctly organised.

The AIADMK leader added: “My deepest condolences to the bereaved families. The state government earlier informed that arrangements had been made for transportation and basic facilities. Still, the police force was inadequate to regulate the crowd, and people suffered severe hardships.”

He also noted that such events went off smoothly in other cities where air shows had been held earlier.

Karnataka Congress MLA Nagendra Is ‘Mastermind’ Of Tribal Welfare Scam: ED

Karnataka Congress MLA Nagendra Is 'Mastermind' Of Tribal Welfare Scam: ED

The ED claimed on Wednesday that B Nagendra, Congress MLA and former Karnataka Minister for Scheduled Tribal Affairs, has been named as the primary accused and mastermind behind the alleged scam in the Karnataka Maharishi Valmiki ST Development Corporation. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a Prosecution Complaint (PC) or charge sheet before the Special Court for MPs/MLAs in Bengaluru concerning the scam.

The federal agency stated that the court has taken cognizance of the PC. “Nagendra allegedly orchestrated the scam with the help of 24 others, including key associates like Satyanarayana Varma, Etakari Satyanarayana, JG Padmanabha, Nageshwar Rao, Nekkenti Nagaraj, and Vijay Kumar Gowda,” the ED said in a statement.

ED initiated the investigation based on FIRs registered by the Karnataka Police and CBI, which uncovered that around Rs 89.62 crore was diverted from the Corporation’s accounts into fake accounts across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and later laundered through shell entities. This scam came to light after the suicide of Chandrasekharan, an employee of the Corporation, in May 2024. ED investigation revealed that under the influence of B. Nagendra, the account of the Corporation was moved to the MG Road Branch without any proper authorisation, where Rs 187 crore, including Rs 43.33 crore from the State Treasury under the Ganga Kalyana Scheme, were deposited without following proper procedures and in violation of government guidelines.

These funds were subsequently siphoned off through multiple shell accounts and converted into cash and bullion. ED investigation also revealed that an amount of Rs 20.19 crore of the diverted funds were used to support a candidate contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha election from the Bellary constituency, as well as for the personal expenses of Nagendra. Evidence of these expenditures was discovered during search and seizure operations and corroborated by financial analysis and statements. Details of these election expenses were retrieved from the mobile phone of Vijay Kumar Gowda, who handled the cash on Nagendra’s instructions.

Nagendra, who resigned after the scam came to light, is also accused of obstructing the investigation by destroying mobile phones and instructing others to remain silent. The ED arrested Nagendra and five other key accused during the investigation. The ED stated that further investigation is in progress. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has agreed on the floor of the house that Rs 89.6 crore was misappropriated. The SIT investigating the scam has given a clean chit to former minister Nagendra in the case.

Dravidian Model Deflection? DMK Scion Udhayanidhi Stalin Shares Old Video Of Andhra Sanatanis Stamping His Image Amidst Chennai Air Show Fiasco And Samsung Protests 

By
The Commune
-

In what seems like a typical case of the DMK’s deflection tactics, the party’s scion, Udhayanidhi Stalin, who was recently sworn in as the Deputy Chief Minister of the state, shared an old video of Hindus of Andhra Pradesh trampling over his photo.

This video went viral when Udhayanidhi made the controversial “eradicate Sanatana Dharma” remarks in September 2023.

The state government is already grappling with the fiasco of the airshow in Chennai going wrong, especially from the administrative front. And with people questioning the efficiency of the DMK government, sharing the video seems to be the perfect way to divert the short attention span of citizens.

On his official X handle, he wrote, “I only feel sorry for the Sanghis who stand so exposed that their political maturity is so much that they think they are insulting me! If the enemies of the philosophy are so angry with us, I see it as proof of how well I am following the Dravidian philosophy. They threw sandals at Thanthai Periyar. They insulted Ambedkar so much. They cheered Anna by whipping him. They made speeches after speeches on Muthamizharignar Kalaignar. There are no harsh words that were not thrown at our club leader. Our principle of equality annoys them. Our success is their frustration of not being able to win over the people by talking about the policy of divisiveness by birth and religion. Let them trample my photo more thoroughly. We cannot clean their dirty brains. At least let their feet be clean. Brothers and Sisters, don’t get angry at this. Avoid reacting to this or getting emotional, let us walk tirelessly on the path of rationality – equality on the path of Thanthai Periyar, Ambedkar, Anna, Muthamizharingar Kalaignar, and our Kazhagam leader!”

The IAF airshow was held on 6 October 2024, and nearly 15 lakh people attended the event. However, several administrative failures left five people dead and scores unwell and admitted to the hospital due to excessive heat and lack of water at the event premises.

It is also noteworthy that a war of words has been ongoing between the Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM and the TN Deputy CM with the former launching a Varahi Declaration amid the Tirupati laddu ghee adulteration issue.

Additionally, the state government seems to be facing a deadlock regarding the protests by Samsung employees, and reports are circulating that the company is considering moving out of the state.

“Congress Leaders Lock Their Mouths When It Comes To Caste Among Muslims, Makes One Hindu Caste Fight Against Another”: PM Modi Slams Congress’ Divisive Politics

PM Modi Slams Congress' Divisive Politics

A day after the BJP’s stellar performance in the Haryana Assembly election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to the people of Maharashtra on Wednesday to elect the MahaYuti government again in the upcoming Assembly election to continue the development process.

In his address after laying the foundation stone and inaugurating various projects worth ₹7,600 crore in Maharashtra through video conference, PM Modi said the MahaYuti’s resolve is to make Maharashtra stronger against Maha Vikas Aghadi’s plan to weaken the state.

He congratulated the people of Maharashtra for the launch of a slew of development projects. “Haryana has reflected the country’s mood by blessing us with a third tenure. Congress’ ecosystem of urban Naxalites was busy selling false propaganda to the people. They tried to create a divide between different sections of the society. However, the people saw through their lies. People trust the policies and the governance model of BJP,” PM Modi said.

“It is historic to be elected for the third consecutive time after completing two terms. Congress is creating fear psychosis in the minds of Muslims. Congress feeds on people’s fears. For their vote bank, Congress is communalising the country,” said the Prime Minister.

He further said, “But all the conspiracies of Congress were ruined. The Congress tried to spread lies among the Dalits, but the Dalit community sensed their dangerous intentions. Dalits realised that Congress wanted to divide its vote bank by snatching away their reservation. They have given record support to the BJP. Haryana has reflected the country’s mood by blessing us with a third tenure.”

“It is historic to be elected for the third consecutive time after completing two terms. Congress targeted the youth and tried to provoke them in different ways. But the youth of Haryana, our sisters and daughters, trust only BJP for a bright future. Congress provoked the farmers, but they know who gave them MSP on crops,” said the Prime Minister.

“Congress fights elections on completely communal and casteist lines. Dividing the Hindu society and making it their winning formula is the basis of Congress’ politics. Congress is suppressing the Indian tradition of ‘Sarvajan Hitay – Sarvajan Sukhaye’. It is suppressing the Sanatan tradition,” said the Prime Minister.

He said, “Till today, not even one leader of Congress has spoken about the different castes among our Muslim brothers and sisters. Congress locks its mouth when it comes to the issue of caste among Muslims. But when it comes to the Hindu community, Congress begins the discussion with caste.”.

“The policy of Congress is to make one caste of Hindus fight against another caste. Congress knows that the more Hindus get divided, the more it will benefit. Congress wants to keep the Hindu society on fire by any means so that it can continue to make political gains out of it. Congress applies this formula wherever elections are held in India,” he added.

The Prime Minister said that Congress, a party that ruled the country for decades, is now desperate to regain power. “Every day, they sow seeds of hatred into people’s minds. Soon after Independence, Mahatma Gandhi sensed the vile intentions of Congress, and that’s why he wanted to dismantle the party,” he added.

“Congress has always followed the formula of divide and gain power politics. Congress has repeatedly proved that it is an irresponsible party and it is still creating new narratives to divide the country. Congress keeps bringing formulas to divide society. Congress’ formula is clear, which is to keep scaring Muslims, intimidate them, convert them into vote banks and strengthen the vote bank,” he said.

“Congress was neither interested in development nor legacy. There is development as well as a legacy in our government. We are building a bright future by drawing inspiration from our rich past,” remarked the Prime Minister.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the upgrade of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, Nagpur. The upgrade entails an investment of ₹7,000 crore.

It will catalyse growth across multiple sectors, including manufacturing, aviation, tourism, logistics, and healthcare, benefiting Nagpur city and the wider Vidarbha region. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of the New Integrated Terminal Building at Shirdi Airport worth over ₹645 crore.

It will provide world-class facilities and amenities for religious tourists coming to Shirdi. The proposed terminal’s construction theme is based on the spiritual neem tree of Sai Baba.

In line with his commitment to ensuring affordable and accessible healthcare for all, the Prime Minister launched the operationalization of 10 Government Medical Colleges in Maharashtra: Mumbai, Nashik, Jalna, Amravati, Gadchiroli, Buldhana, Washim, Bhandara, Hingoli, and Ambernath (Thane).

While enhancing the undergraduate and postgraduate seats, the colleges will also offer specialised tertiary healthcare to the people.

In line with his vision to position India as the ‘Skill Capital of the World’, the Prime Minister inaugurated the Indian Institute of Skills (IIS) in Mumbai. The IIS aims to create an industry-ready workforce with cutting-edge technology and hands-on training. Established under a Public-Private Partnership model, it is a collaboration between the Tata Education and Development Trust and the Government of India.

The institute plans to provide training in highly specialised areas such as mechatronics, artificial intelligence, data analytics, industrial automation, and robotics.

Further, the Prime Minister inaugurated Maharashtra’s Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK). VSK will provide students, teachers, and administrators with access to crucial academic and administrative data through live chatbots such as Smart Upasthiti and Swadhyay, among others.

It will offer high-quality insights to schools to manage resources effectively, strengthen ties between parents and the state, and deliver responsive support. It will also supply curated instructional resources to enhance teaching practices and student learning.
