Demand for legislation to curb inhuman and evil practices and black magic in Kerala
The Kerala Yukthivadi Sangham (Kerala Rationalists' Association) urged the State government to enact a legislation to curb inhuman and evil practices and black magic.
The State government had the other day informed the Kerala High Court that the Cabinet had decided not to proceed with the legislation though it had considered a Bill, the Kerala Prevention and Eradication of Inhuman Evil Practices, Sorcery and Black Magic, that was drafted following a report of the Law Reforms Commission.
The association leaders said nine State governments in the country had passed such a legislation. The legislation shall be brought in to free the faithful from the exploitations perpetuated under the cover of religious faiths.
It was high time that the State passed a legislation considering the increasing number of inhuman and evil practices in society, said association leaders K. N. Anilkumar, Rajagopal Vakathanam, T. K. Shakthidharan, Shooranad Gopan and Santhosh Manavam.

Award for The Kerala Story invites a storm of criticism
The National Film Award jury's decision to bestow two awards, including the best director award to Sudipto Sen, for the film The Kerala Story has invited a storm of criticism in Kerala. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, in a statement marking his protest, said the jury insulted the noble tradition of Indian cinema that stood for religious brotherhood and national integration by awarding a film that was built on lies to defame Kerala and spread communalism. 'By honouring a film that spreads blatant misinformation with the clear intent of tarnishing Kerala's image and sowing seeds of communal hatred, the jury has lent legitimacy to a narrative rooted in the divisive ideology of the Sangh Parivar. Kerala, a land that has always stood as a beacon of harmony and resistance against communal forces, has been gravely insulted by this decision. It is not just Malayalis but everyone who believes in democracy must raise their voice in defence of truth and the constitutional values we hold dear,' he posted in X. General Education Minister V. Sivankutty said recognising The Kerala Story, a film that spreads hate and baseless allegations, devalued all the other awards. 'It is extremely regrettable that a national award is being given to a film that is full of baseless allegations and hate propaganda. This is a recognition of attempts to create divisions in society. Such trends do not augur well for the pluralism of our country,' he said. Social media platforms were abuzz with posts criticising the National Film Award jury for awarding the film. Ahead of the film's release two years ago, various organisations from Kerala had moved the Supreme Court calling for a ban. Though the Supreme Court and the Kerala High Court refused to stay the film's release, the makers of the film had to remove its teaser after their claim about '32,000 women' from Kerala joining the IS. They also altered the trailer to say that it was a 'compilation of the true stories of three young girls.' They also added a statement to the film which said that it was a work of fiction. The ruling Left Democratic Front and the Opposition United Democratic Front were united in their opposition to the film, with much of the civil society too calling it an attempt to malign the State. Only the Bharatiya Janata Party openly endorsed the film in Kerala. The film also led to a flurry of social media posts and videos titled 'The Real Kerala Story,' portraying stories of communal amity from the State. Documentary filmmaker Sanu Kummil made the documentary The Unknown Kerala Stories portraying six stories of communal harmony from different corners of Kerala.

Kerala Governor spurns reconciliation efforts by LDF govt, reappoints Ciza Thomas and K. Sivaprasad as DUK, KTU interim V-Cs
In a move that has sparked fresh controversy, Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar reappointed Ciza Thomas and K. Sivaprasad as the interim Vice-Chancellors of Digital University Kerala (DUK) and APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) on Friday (August 1, 2025). The decision defies the reconciliation efforts spearheaded by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other State Ministers. The reappointments also effectively undermine the State government's attempts to ease growing tensions with the Governor, who, in his capacity as Chancellor of State-run universities, has been at odds with the administrative dispensation over various issues. Supreme Court judgment The appointments come in the wake of a Supreme Court judgment, which the State government firmly believes, mandates that the Chancellor should consult the government before appointing Vice-Chancellors. State Law Minister P. Rajeeve told mediapersons that the move amounts to an 'open challenge' against the Supreme Court judgment. Notably, the move has been made by a person holding a Constitutional position, he added. 'The appointments have not been made in accordance with specific provisions cited by both the Supreme Court and the Kerala High Court. It also violates the requirement of consulting the State government,' he said. Raj Bhavan stance However, Raj Bhavan has maintained that the reappointments of Ms. Thomas and Mr. Sivaprasad comply with the Supreme Court's directive and the relevant provisions of the laws governing the universities. According to the Raj Bhavan notification, the interim Vice-Chancellors will hold office for six months or until regular appointments are made. The State government had previously submitted panels of three nominees for each position in accordance with a Kerala High Court order regarding temporary Vice-Chancellors. However, this marks the second time that Raj Bhavan has disregarded the government's recommendations, the first instance being when Ms. Thomas and Mr. Sivaprasad were initially appointed on November 27 last. Higher Education Minister R. Bindu reiterated her criticism of the Governor's actions, accusing him of undermining the government's authority in the management of public universities, a day ago. She alleged that the present Governor and his predecessor, motivated by political interests, have both functioned in blatant violation of their Constitutional duties. Indicating the possibility of further legal wrangles, Mr. Rajeeve said the government will apprise the apex court of its apprehensions when the case is taken up for consideration.

SC declines plea to bring political parties under anti-sexual harassment law
The Supreme Court on Friday declined to entertain a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking to bring political parties under the purview of the anti-sexual harassment law. 'This falls within the Parliament's domain. How can we interfere? It is a policy matter,' a Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) B.R. Gavai and K. Vinod Chandran remarked. Senior advocate Shobha Gupta, appearing for the petitioner, submitted that she was not seeking the enactment of a new law, but merely an interpretation that would bring political parties within the ambit of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 -- commonly known as the 'POSH Act'. Gupta pointed out that a Kerala High Court judgment had held that a political party is not legally required to establish an Internal Complaints Committee under the PoSH Act, as there is no employer-employee relationship among its members. Therefore, the matter should not be construed as strictly falling within the domain of the legislature, she argued. At this, the CJI Gavai-led Bench advised the senior counsel to challenge the Kerala High Court decision independently by filing a special leave petition before the apex court. She then chose to withdraw the PIL, which the court allowed. Granting liberty to take 'such steps as advised in law', the Supreme Court ultimately dismissed the plea as withdrawn. In December last year, the apex court had disposed of a similar plea but directed the petitioner to approach the Election Commission of India (ECI), stating that the poll body was the competent authority to urge recognised political parties to establish an internal mechanism for handling complaints of sexual harassment. 'In case the petitioner's grievance is not effectively addressed, she shall be at liberty to approach the judicial forum in accordance with the law," the apex court had ordered. As per the fresh PIL, the petitioner sent a representation to the ECI in March this year, and to date, no response has been received from the poll body. The PIL sought a declaration that political parties are bound to follow the procedure for protection of women in the workplace under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. It prayed the apex court to expand the scope of the POSH Act to include political party workers, ensure that political parties are held accountable for providing a safe work environment and protect individuals who work with political parties from sexual harassment. Apart from the Union government and the ECI, the PIL impleaded the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party, the CPI(M), the CPI, the Trinamool Congress, the Nationalist Congress Party, the National People's Party, the Bahujan Samaj Party, and the Aam Aadmi Party, in the memo of parties.
