CM warns of conspiracy to remove names from rolls, hand NRC notices
1 2 Jhargram/Kolkata: CM Mamata Banerjee on Thursday warned people of Bengal "not to fill up forms without knowing its contents thoroughly" and claimed it was a plan by central govt "to remove names from the voter list and hand over NRC notices before pushing them to Bangladesh". Inaugurating the four-day long celebrations of International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples in Jhargram, Banerjee lashed out at the "conspiracy by the double-engine govt". "They will verify names on the voters' list. People must cross-check if their names are on the list." In a veiled attack on BJP, the CM said: "These people will come before elections and ask for votes by giving money. Whose money is that?" "(You can) give everything, but do not give up your own address, your own language, your own existence. Without existence, nothing will remain," she added.

"Two WBCS officers were suspended even though elections have not been declared. Under which rule? We all know that ECI can take action from the day polls are declared. Dr Ambedkar did not write this Constitution which they are following. Do they think they can intimidate officers using NRC through the back door? The state govt was, is and will continue to stand by govt employees," the CM said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover the AI-powered language app that's changing how everyone learns Talkpal AI Undo Banerjee wondered what hope Independence Day would hold out this year when attempts were being made to "snatch away independence". "This Aug 15 we should ask if we are really independent or not. Our citizenship must not be snatched away. There should be no racial discrimination or division among us," she said. Banerjee said those born before 2002 were being asked to show their parents' birth certificates. "How many people have the birth certificates of their parents? Those who are asking for it, do they have their parents' birth certificates?" she asked. Banerjee also questioned how Centre could brand someone a foreigner. "Those who came after the Indo-Bangladesh war legally, they are Indian citizens. As Indian citizens, why will they be sent to Bangladesh? Action should be taken against infiltrators. The Assam govt is sending notices to people of Cooch Behar and Alipurduar. They are labelling Matuas as foreigners and infiltrators," she said, urging "people to stand up against this". Once again, Banerjee criticised the harassment of Bengalis in other states. "Language is our dignity, our pride. And they say Bengali language doesn't exist. We have facilitated the return of more than 2,000 workers. They were kept in detention camps in Gurgaon. Similar persecution is going on in Rajasthan and Assam. A tribal girl from Malda was pushed back to Bangladesh from Madhya Pradesh. Dalits are being tortured," she said. The CM reminded her audience how Bengali language was mentioned in currency notes during the British Raj. "You will find Bengali on a Rs 10 note from 1912. And these useless people are saying in 2025 that there is no such language. I call for protests against this humiliation," she said.

Disruptions over SIR row cost Rajya Sabha 51 hours: Harivansh
Disruptions caused by a stalemate between the government and the opposition over the latter's demand for a discussion on the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar have cost the Rajya Sabha 51.5 hours during the ongoing monsoon session, Upper House deputy chairperson Harivansh said on Thursday. Amid opposition protests on Thursday, the House passed the Coastal Shipping Bill. (ANI) Urging members to allow the transaction of business by taking up Zero Hour to raise important issues and Question Hour, Harivansh said the Rajya Sabha had the chance to take up '180 starred questions, 180 Zero Hour submissions, and 180 special mentions' during the Monsoon Session of Parliament. However, due to continued disruptions, the Rajya Sabha has been adjourned without conducting scheduled business, with the House only being 'able to take up 13 starred questions, five Zero Hour submissions and 17 special mentions' during this period, he said, pointing out that 51 hours and 30 minutes allocated time for business have been lost . While the opposition has been pushing a for a discussion on the SIR, currently taking place in poll-bound Bihar, the Union government has taken a stand that the House cannot take up a discussion on the issue as the case is sub-judice in the Supreme Court and that the matter relates to Election Commission of India (ECI), an autonomous body. After the customary laying of papers on Thursday, Harivansh informed the House that he had received 25 notices under Rule 267 –– to suspend the listed business and take up pressing issues, but these were not admitted. Opposition leaders, including AAP's Sanjay Singh, Congress's Jairam Ramesh and DMK's Tiruchi Siva, urged the deputy chairman to consider the notices, but the House was adjourned till 2pm. With the opposition, unrelenting in its demand, the House was eventually adjourned for the day when it gathered post lunch. Prior to the adjournment in the afternoon, the Coastal Shipping Bill, 2025, was passed in the House through voice vote even as opposition protested over demands to discuss the SIR exercise. Speaking outside the House, a senior BJP leader said the opposition was 'politicising' the SIR issue and the ECI's functioning, making a reference to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's accusations against the poll panel. 'They are aware of the rules, and that the (functioning of the) ECI cannot be discussed in the House…They want to derail the proceedings in Parliament and outside, the leader (Gandhi) is trying to create fake narratives against the ECI,' the leader said on anonymity. The Congress, for its part, said there is a ruling in the House that said the 'only restriction is related to the conduct of any judge except on a motion related to his removal'. On Wednesday, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, in a post on X, said, 'Yesterday, the Deputy Chairman gave a ruling that because the Lok Sabha Speaker had said so on December 14, 1988, any matter concerning the Election Commission cannot be discussed in Parliament. But on July 21, 2023, the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha –– a Modi appointee –– had categorically ruled that 'the Rajya Sabha is entitled to discuss anything under the planet with only one restriction.' He had gone on to say that the 'only one restriction' related to the conduct of any judge except on a motion related to his removal. The then-Chairman had added that the concept of sub-judice was totally misconceived.'

Ban on 25 books triggers backlash in J&K
Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor's order of banning 25 books, some of them by acclaimed national and international authors, has raised many eyebrows and elicited harsh reactions and condemnations. The government ordered the forfeiture of the books under section 98 of Bhartiya Nagrika Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. (HT representative) The government's home department has issued a notification for 'forfeiture' of the 25 books to the government written by some prominent and acclaimed authors, political scientists and historians, including AG Noorani, Arundhati Roy, Sumantra Bose, Sugata Bose, Christopher Snedden and Victoria Schofield for allegedly propagating 'false narrative and secessionism' in J&K. Most of these books are written on Kashmir conflict, politics, history and human rights. The order has attracted surprise and condemnation from many circles. Prominent journalist and editor of Kashmir Times, Anuradha Bhasin, whose book is on the list, said that the government was 'scared of words'. ' I've read most of these books & written one. They're well researched & not one glorifies terrorism which this government claims to have ended. Scared of words challenging your lies!,' Bhasin said. Another prominent journalist Aarti Tickoo Singh said: 'I am aghast at this idiotic order issued by the LG Manoj Sinha/Omar Abdullah/Modi government ...In fact, how can the Indian government ban any book at all? I may disagree with most of the books on their list, but I will never support banning literature... I would rather rebut a view than not read it. It's moronic to ban books or any literature —especially in the age of the internet and free e-books. It seems the cabal is desperate to set Jammu & Kashmir ablaze, constantly devising new ways to escalate tensions. Pathetic.' Hurriyat leader and chief priest of Jamia Masjid in Srinagar, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said that the ban on books won't erase history. 'Banning books by scholars and reputed historians will not erase historical facts and the repertoire of lived memories of people of Kashmir. It only exposes the insecurities and limited understanding of those behind such authoritarian actions, and the contradiction in proudly hosting the ongoing Book Festival to showcase its literary commitment!,' he said on X. National Conference spokesperson, Imran Nabi Dar, said, 'If there is evidence that these books incite violence or glorify terrorism , the government is justified in banning them. But banning well-researched, critical works like AG Noorani, published by reputable publishers raises concerns,' he said. The government ordered the forfeiture of the books under section 98 of Bhartiya Nagrika Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. 'The identified 25 books have been found to excite secessionism and endangering sovereignty and integrity of India, thereby, attracting the provisions of sections 152, 196 & 197 of BNS 2023... The government of J&K hereby declares publication of the books and their copies or other documents to be forfeited to the government. By order of the LG,' said the notification by Chandraker Bharti, principal secretary to the government. 'This literature would deeply impact the psyche of youth by promoting a culture of grievance, victim hood and terrorist heroism. Some of the means by which this literature has contributed to the radicalization of youth in J&K include distortion of historical facts, glorification of terrorists, vilification of security forces, religious radicalization, promotion of alienation, pathway to violence and terrorism etc,' it said. The forfeited books also include Between Democracy & Nation: Gender and Militarisation in Kashmir by Seema Kazi, Do you Remember Kunan Poshpora? by Essar Batool and Resisting Disappearance: Military Occupation and Women's Activism in Kashmir by Ather Zia. The publication of Jamaat-e-Islami founder Moulana Abul A'la Maududi Maududi's Al Jihad fil Islam and Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna's Mujahid ki Azan are also on the list. J&K police springs into action after the ban, raids book shops J&K Police on Thursday raided various books shops across the Valley looking for 'prohibited' content. 'In compliance with the recent directive issued by the home department, regarding the forfeiture of literature identified as propagating false narratives and secessionist ideologies, district police Anantnag today conducted a district-wide enforcement drive,' a police spokesperson said in a statement. Police teams across all police stations conducted checking of various bookshops and establishments dealing in printed publications. 'The drive was undertaken to ensure strict adherence to the government order and to prevent the availability or circulation of any such literature that may promote radicalisation or incite sentiments against the sovereignty and integrity of the nation,' the spokesperson said. The police sought action from citizens as well. 'Any information regarding the circulation or possession of such banned material may be reported to the nearest Police Station,' he said. Similarly, Ganderbal Police in central Kashmir also conducted 'coordinated and legally monitored' searches at multiple bookshops across the district. During the searches, all bookshop owners were sternly warned against stocking or distributing prohibited content. The Peoples Democratic Party said that it was astonished at the arbitrary and intellectually regressive move by the government to 'forfeit' 25 books it claims promote secessionism. It urged the government to immediately revoke this irrational order and allow space for intellectual freedom and diverse narratives. 'This is not just an assault on literature but a dangerous precedent that undermines the very foundation of democratic discourse. Governments may disagree with a viewpoint, but silencing it through censorship is a sign of weakness, not strength,' the party spokesperson said. 'In a region already suffocated by control, banning books will only fuel alienation. We believe ideas must be debated, not buried. Rebuttal is a democratic tool , censorship is not, ' he said
