Targeting of minorities is a national shame: Mar Cyril Baselios Metropolitan
Speaking at a protest programme in Thrissur on Saturday organised by the National League District Committee against the persecution of minorities, the Metropolitan said, 'The fundamental rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution are increasingly being denied to citizens.'
Referring to the recent arrest and harassment of nuns in Chhattisgarh, he said it was just one example of the broader discrimination and suffering faced by tribal, Dalit, and minority communities across the country.
'Governments must act to put an end to this marginalisation and abuse. Justice must be ensured for the victims,' he urged.
The Metropolitan also honoured leaders participating in a hunger strike demanding justice for those persecuted.

Absurd to link SIR in Bihar with Tamil Nadu, says Election Commission
Rejecting contentions linking the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) under way in Bihar with the 'adding' of about 6.5 lakh voters in Tamil Nadu, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has said that the SIR has not yet been rolled out in the latter State. 'It is, therefore, absurd to connect the SIR exercise in Bihar with Tamil Nadu. Such peddling of false statements with respect to the SIR should be avoided,' the Commission said in a social media post. The post, seeking to check facts in light of the charges made by former Union Minister P. Chidambaram, said, there was no need for political leaders to spread 'false information' with respect to the SIR exercisce being conducted by the ECI at the national level. 'As far as voters, who have permanently shifted from Bihar to other States and are 'ordinarily residents' in those States, are concerned, the exact figures can be known only after the SIR has been conducted,' the Commission said. Referring to provisions in the Constitution of India and the Representation of the People Act, 1950, the Commission said the enrolment of voters was with respect to the constituency in which they are an 'ordinarily resident'. The Commission further explained: 'It is for the voters to come forward and get enrolled in the constituency where they are eligible.' With regard to contentions being spread about the reported enrolment of 6.5 lakh voters in Tamil Nadu, the Commission termed them as 'false figures'. '[The] SIR has not yet been rolled out in T.N. [Tamil Nadu]. It is therefore absurd to connect the SIR exercise in Bihar with T.N. Such peddling of false statements with respect to the SIR should be avoided,' the Commission said in the post. Citing Article 19(1)(e) of the Constitution and Section 19(b) of the Representation of People Act, 1950, the Commission said every person who was an 'ordinarily resident' in a constituency shall be entitled to be registered in the electoral roll of that constituency. Section 20 of the RP Act, 1950, has provided the meaning of 'ordinarily resident'. 'Therefore, a person originally belonging to Tamil Nadu, but is ordinarily residing in Delhi, is entitled to be registered as an elector in Delhi. Similarly, a person originally belonging to Bihar, but is ordinarily residing in Chennai, is entitled to be registered as an elector in Chennai,' the Commission explained. It further rejected the contentions made by some political leaders over this issue as 'misleading and baseless.'

True Indian wouldn't say such a thing: Supreme Court reprimands Rahul Gandhi, stays proceedings in trial court over remarks on Army
The court pointed out he does have a right under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution but he was also the Leader of Opposition and should not have said those things when there was a conflict on the border.

GOP's House map overhaul: Texas Democrats flee state to block Trump's redistricting; tensions escalate
Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Sunday issued a letter threatening that he would remove any Democrats from the House if they do not return to Austin to pass the GOP's proposed new congressional maps. The Republican governor's late-night missive came after more than 50 Democrats left the state Sunday afternoon to prevent a vote on a new congressional map favouring Republicans. In a letter, Governor said, "These absences are not merely unintended and unavoidable interruptions in public service, like a sudden illness or a family emergency. Instead, these absences were premeditated for an illegitimate purpose— what one representative called 'breaking quorum.' Another previously signaled that Democrats 'would have to go by an extreme measure' of a quorum break 'to stop these bills from happening. ' In other words, Democrats hatched a deliberate plan not to show up for work, for the specific purpose of abdicating the duties of their office and thwarting the chamber's business." "That amounts to an abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office. When the Governor calls a Special Session, our Constitution provides that the 'Legislature shall meet.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Private Jet - The Prices May Surprise You!

The derelict Democrat House members must return to Texas and be in attendance when the House reconvenes at 3:00 PM on Monday, August 4, 2025. For any member who fails to do so, I will invoke Texas Attorney General Opinion No. KP-0382 to remove the missing Democrats from membership in the Texas House," he added. Why Democrats ran away? Texas' Republican majority recently introduced redistricting plans, supported by President Donald Trump, which would establish five additional Republican-leaning seats in the US House of Representatives. A vote requires two-thirds attendance of the 150-member Texas legislature. Fifty-one Democratic legislators have left, primarily to Illinois, preventing the required quorum, BBC reported. They intend to remain absent for two weeks until the special legislative session, called by Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott, concludes. The session aims to approve redistricting, provide disaster relief for recent Texas floods, and prohibit THC, marijuana's primary active component. Each absent lawmaker faces potential daily fines of £380, whilst Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, has issued arrest threats. On X, he advocated using "every tool at our disposal to hunt down those who think they are above the law". "Democrats in the Texas House who try and run away like cowards should be found, arrested, and brought back to the Capitol immediately," he wrote. Texas Democrats issue statement, defending their actions "We're not walking out on our responsibilities," stated Gene Wu, state legislator and Democratic caucus chairman. "We're walking out on a rigged system that refuses to listen to the people we represent." Whilst Democrats nationwide have suggested reciprocal actions, their options appear limited. In Democrat-controlled redistricting states like Illinois, New Mexico and Nevada, they have engaged in similar gerrymandering practices. Illinois' latest map received an F grade from the Princeton Gerrymandering Project for political unfairness. However, some Democrat-led states, including New York, California, Colorado and Washington, utilise non-partisan, independent commissions for redistricting rather than state legislatures. Texas Republicans currently control 25 of 38 congressional seats. The new maps could increase their representation to 30 seats - all in districts Trump won by over 10 points last November. Before next year's midterms, Texas' redistricting could strengthen the Republican majority in the US House, where they hold 219 seats to Democrats' 212.
