Binda Karat meets the jailed nuns in Chhattisgarh; Accusing Christians on ‘targeted attack’
Karat further alleged that Bajrang Dal activists attacked three women (alleged victims) in front of the police and forced them to change their statements.
“There is no rule of law, instead the rules of goons are,” he said, demanded the return of the FIR and immediate release of the nuns.
A tribal person has also been arrested, Karat told.
The BJP claims that it himself best wishes to the tribals. But the man (Tribal was arrested) was also attacked and forced to change his statement, claiming, “It is a shame in front of our country”.
Karat also dismissed allegations of human trafficking and adaptation.
“Indian citizens have every right to travel anywhere in the country and seek employment. All the allegations are baseless. It was accused of smuggling as it is a narrow agenda of Hindutva to attack the minorities of this country,” he accused.
On Tuesday, a delegation of Congress -led UDF coalition leaders in Kerala visited Durg Central Jail and met both nuns.
The delegation later also met Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, who assured him that the matter would be thoroughly investigated.
CM Sai said on Monday that it was unfortunate that the issue of safety of women was being politicized.
“Three daughters of Narayanpur were promised nursing training, followed by jobs. A man from Narayanpur handed them over to two nuns at Durg station, who were taking them to Agra. Attempts were being made to convert them,” Sai said.
As the GST Council calls for a two -day meeting tomorrow, the fastest point of the dispute will not be the Prime Minister’s Diwali deadline for the “next generation” reforms, but the question of how the states will be compensated for the proposed comprehensive changes.
Improvements may be promised to simplify the tax structure and low rates on essential commodities and services, but state governments are afraid that they will have to struggle with lack of adequate revenue.
At the center of the case, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to start a new GST regime by 2025. The proposed overhaul includes compressing the current four-level structure in two major slabs of 5 percent and 18 percent while maintaining exemption on essential food, medicines and education.
In addition, a high 40 percent rate is to be planted on sin and luxury goods, which covers items such as alcohol, tobacco and cigarettes. While the Center frames the move as a “Diwali gift” to reduce prices to consumers and MSMEs and simplify compliance, states have argued that the actual cost will be borne by them.
Many items are expected to shift up to 12 percent from slabs to 5 percent and 28 percent from slab to 18 percent, state governments will come for sharp contractions in tax receipts.
Opposition ruled states, including Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Punjab, Jharkhand, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh, have warned that the proposed rationalization can strip between Rs 85,000 crore and Rs 2 lakh crore annually from their treasures.
These estimates are for 15-20 percent erosion of their GST revenue base. Telangana alone suffers a loss of Rs 7,000 crore.
The compensation end of compensation cess in March 2026 has intensified the demands for an alternative mechanism. Using 2024–25 as the state base year, the minimum five-year-old compensation are pressurizing for guarantee, and the protection of at least 14 percent revenue increase per year that reflects the conditions in the first five years of GST.
Without such security, finance ministers have warned that important welfare schemes, infrastructure projects and development expenses will be compromised.
The Supreme Court rejected the appeal by the son of National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal on Tuesday, September 2,, demanding the bail given to one of the accused in the 2022 murder case.
A bench, including Justices MM Sundaresh and Satish Chandra Sharma, refused to intervene in the earlier decision of the Rajasthan High Court, granted bail to Mohammad Javed, who was one of the many people involved in the murder.
The apex court was hearing an appeal filed against an order passed by Nia and Yash Teli, Lal’s son, Rajasthan High Court to bail Javed.
Looking for Teli, the lawyer argued that Javed played an important role in the conspiracy, alleging that he had closed the main attackers about Lal’s location and movements.
The petition stated: “The murder was done in a communally surcharge atmosphere across the country.” This further alleged: “The chief accused had gathered himself, prepared to kill, collected weapons, resumed and imposed Javed to inform about the deceased’s hideout.”
Describing the sequence of murder, it claimed: “On a terrible date, he entered the tailor shop, disguised as customers and while the deceased was taking his size, the accused put a camera, shouted a communal slogan, attacked and killed the deceased.”
The NIA, while supporting the petition, said that Javed worked in a neighbor’s shop and provided information about red hideout on the day of crime.
Despite these presentations, the apex court opted not to interfere with the bail given by the High Court.
Gandhi reiterated the allegations of “rigging of industrial-mamane” in the 2019 Maharashtra assembly elections, accusing the Election Commission (ECI) of India to help the BJP to help in elections later.
Political observers in Patna believe that the Congress campaign has ignored the BJP. However, BJP leader and Patna Sahib MP Ravi Shankar Prasad dismissed Gandhi’s remarks as “irresponsible”, saying, “Whenever I listen to Rahul Gandhi, inside or out of Parliament, takes time to understand what he is trying to say.
Gandhi’s Pinpoint allegations and a large -scale mob in their voter Adikar Yatra meetings in front of the mob, however, such a thing looks rapidly irrelevant and clear. In the post-7 August press conference, not a single point-by-point rebellion of his allegations has come from either BJP or ECI.
The ECI has only denied Gandhi’s allegations. On August 14, it called Mahadevpura to Gandhi’s claims about “false and misleading”. Earlier in February, the ECI described it as “efforts to disappoint parties” as “completely absurd” by the ECI “disappointed with the poll results”.
Widely criticized and at the press conference, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar dramatically announced that Gandhi either would have to prove his allegations or apologize to the nation “. Since then a fortnight has passed. Kumar is still waiting for the evidence that Gandhi has already presented.
