Congress shouldn't allow BJP to usurp saffron colour, says Prithviraj Chavan amid ‘saffron terror' charges
Appealing to his own party leaders to not term terror as 'saffron terror', former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Prithviraj Chavan on Friday (August 1, 2025) said that the Congress should not let the BJP usurp saffron colour. '14 Crore Maharashtrians revere saffron, not because of BJP, but because of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,' he told The Hindu. Hitting back at Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who said there never was any Hindutva or saffron terror, he asked, 'Who was Nathuram Godse then? Who killed Comrade Pansare or Narendra Dabholkar? While terror has no colour, acts of terror need to be recognised. What is the colour of terror in Manipur?' He said that the current government had failed to give justice to the victims of terror attacks. 'There have been acquittals in the 7/11 train blasts and in Malegaon blast. What will you tell the victims? Who did it? Someone has to be accountable. The government should go in appeal against both the orders. Where is justice otherwise?' he asked. Mr Chavan said that as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra before 2014, he had sent a proposal to the Centre to ban Sanatan Sanstha under the stringent UAPA. ATS policeman's statement questioned He questioned the timing and the content of a former policeman of Maharashtra Police who has claimed that he was asked to arrest Mohan Bhagwat after the Malegaon blasts. 'How can you trust a former inspector? Can an inspector be privy to such high level discussions? What is the basis of his statement? Also, this is not the first time he has said it. When Fadnavis became the CM in 2014, why didn't he say anything about it?' he asked, calling the timing of the statement conspicuous.

Protests outside Kolkata CBI office demanding justice for RG Kar victim
Kolkata Protesters held demonstrations outside the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office in Kolkata on Friday (August 1, 2025) demanding justice for RG Kar victim. Next month, August 9 will mark a year after the crime as parents of the victim and protestors keep seeking justice. The protest was organised by Abhaya Mancha (a protest forum formed to demand justice for the RG Kar victim) and Joint Platform of Doctors. The protestors questioned why almost a year later CBI has not been able to file a supplementary chargesheet and the arrest still stands at one. Protestors tied brooms outside the CBI's office gate and sang protest songs calling for justice for the victim (popularly known as Abhaya). The brooms were a symbol of the protestors demand to 'clean out the CBI office of corruption so that they can deliver due justice.' Abhaya's father said that the other two people arrested in relation to the crime, Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar and former officer-in-charge of Tala police station Abhijit Mondal got bail because the CBI failed to file a chargesheet within the 90-day statutory period. The two were arrested for 'misleading the investigation' of the case and delay in filing the FIR. 'We doubt if they will ever file a supplementary chargesheet. They claim they are investigating a bigger conspiracy, but I will not be alive to witness the results, they will continue the investigation for a lifetime,' Abhaya's father told The Hindu on Friday. Dr Subarna Goswami a part of Abhaya Mancha and one of the forerunners of the RG Kar protests said that the CBI's failure to investigate the rape and murder of a young doctor at RG Kar medical college is not an isolated incident. 'It is a reflection of the larger fascist structure where the ruling parties will continue to commit repeated violence against women's bodies and the state structure will use all its pillars to protect the criminals. This lack of justice, this impunity is actually planned - so that people forget, become discouraged, so that protests become silent,' Dr Goswami a senior doctor added. In an earlier conversation with The Hindu, the family had expressed their dissatisfaction with the CBI's ongoing probe into the case. In the rape and murder of the RG Kar victim, a civic volunteer Sanjay Roy has been arrested and sent to lifetime imprisonment. But both parents of the victim and protestors have claimed on multiple occasions that there was more than one perpetrator in the case. On August 9, 2024, a post-graduate female trainee doctor was found dead in a seminar hall of the chest medicine department on the fourth floor of the emergency building of the State-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The whole State erupted in protests as the details of the crime sent shockwaves across the country.
