Five members of the banned CPI (Maoist) Party surrendered before the SP of Mulugu district
From January 2025 till date, a total of 73 members of the Maoist party belonging to various ranks have joined the mainstream in Mulugu district. Among them, DVCMs – 03, ACMs – 10, PMs – 22, Militia members – 29, RPC members – 01, DAKMs/KAMSs – 02, and CNM members – 06. All of them are being provided with suitable facilities under the rehabilitation scheme by the government.
Witnessing the declining condition of the Maoist party day by day, lower-level cadres are opposing the top leadership and are deciding to leave the underground life and live a peaceful life with their families. This is the main reason that so far, 73 armed Maoist party members have joined the mainstream in Mulugu district alone.
Due to the withdrawal of support by the tribal villagers living in the forests, it is learnt that even food supplies are not reaching the Maoists, resulting in the deterioration of their health. It is reported that their physical condition has weakened to such an extent that they are unable to even walk from one location to another. More than 90% of these cadres are poor tribal. In order to ensure the development of their families, they are leaving the Maoist party and becoming partners in development. This is truly a positive development.
Appeal to the remaining Maoist party members: Believe in the slogan 'Poru Kanna Ooru Minna – Mana Ooruki Tirigi Randi' and join the mainstream. So far, the 73 armed members who surrendered have received lakhs of rupees in cash rewards, immediate assistance, and rehabilitation benefits.
The Government of Telangana is deeply committed to the development of tribal communities. The Police Department is also striving to fulfill its responsibility. Police camps will be established by the Police Department and Central Forces in the forest regions of Karreguttalu to ensure that the tribals there can freely use their resources.
Appeal to the tribal people: If you support the Maoists out of trust or fear, your areas will not witness development. Development is possible only through democratic governments. Peaceful living and development of the people – is the objective of our Police Department.

Demographic Changes In Assam, Bengal "Ticking Time Bomb": Tamil Nadu Governor
Gandhinagar: Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi on Tuesday expressed concern over what he called demographic changes in some parts of the country, including Assam and West Bengal, as he described the trend as a "ticking time bomb" and urged stakeholders to find solutions. Amid raging language rows in some states and claims of Hindi imposition, including in Maharashtra, he noted it is not in India's character or culture to have bitterness in the name of language. "This country always managed to fight external aggression. But when it comes to internal matters, what happened in the past? In 1947, India was Partitioned because of internal implosion. People following an ideology announced they don't want to live with the rest of us. This ideology broke our nation," emphasised Mr Ravi. The Tamil Nadu Governor was addressing students and faculty members at the Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU), Gandhinagar, on the occasion of commencement of the academic year 2025-2026. "Is anyone concerned about the changes in demography which took place in Assam, West Bengal and Purvanchal (parts of UP and Bihar) during the last 30-40 years? Can anyone predict today that in the coming 50 years, work for partitioning the nation will not happen in these areas?" he asked. "We should conduct a study on the sensitive demography growing in some regions and what will be its future. This issue is like a ticking time bomb. We have to think about how we will deal with this issue in the future and start finding solutions from today itself," stressed the former IPS officer. According to him, a country's military strength was not adequate enough to deal with internal disturbances. Mr Ravi argued the Soviet Union would not have disintegrated in 1991 if its military strength had been sufficient to handle internal problems. Amid the ongoing rows over language in Maharashtra and Karnataka, Mr Ravi said it is not India's character to have bitterness in the name of language. "After independence, we started fighting with each other. One of the reasons was language. They (those advocating states based on linguistic identity) called it linguistic nationalism," the Governor maintained. He pointed out that central leadership has time and again made it clear all Indian languages are in the same league and deserve equal respect. "Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said on numerous occasions that all Indian languages are our national languages and we respect each one of them. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also said that at least primary education should be imparted in local languages in each state," said Mr Ravi. The Governor insisted bitterness among people in the name of language is not part of India's ethos. "It is not in the character of India to have bitterness among ourselves in the name of is not in our culture. After independence, we lost our sense of nationhood. As a result, our diversity, which was our strength, became a weakness," he added.

Linguistic division of states after Independence has created second-class citizens: Tamil Nadu Governor Ravi
While citing the example of his own state, Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi on Tuesday criticised the 'linguistic division of states', saying it had created 'second-class citizens'. Speaking at the inauguration of the academic year 2025-26 at the Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU), Gandhinagar, Ravi also praised Operation Sindoor, stating that it would go down in history as an example of 'how a country can achieve its political objective through military means in a short, swift manner', and how, the world over, it was 'easy' to start a war but not as simple to end it. According to Ravi, before Independence, the country was 'united' even though there was no single national central government. After Independence, he said, 'we have started fighting with each other… what they call linguistic nationalism'. He said, 'Within a decade of our Independence, there had to be a linguistic reorganisation of Bharat and this happened following violent protests in many parts of the country… people had started refusing to live with each other. When we created linguistic states, a large population became second-class citizens…' He said, 'In my own state Tamil Nadu… people of different languages — Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Gujarati, Marathi, Hindi… they all live together but the moment it became a linguistic state, one third of the population became a second-class citizen. It happened in other parts also.' The TN Governor said, 'Something went wrong after Independence… The rashtra (nation) was taken in a direction that created division among our people in every conceivable way. So much so that the government began accepting as if it was an inevitable natural phenomena. This is reflected in the administrative (reforms) commission report. In 2008, the central government commissioned it. It was a voluminous report on conflict management, countering terrorism and if you read it, you will see how the government viewed the country.' According to him, the creation of an 'ethnicity-based state' was 'an attack, an assault on the spirit of Bharat rashtra.' The Governor said, 'Looking at Bharat, the land that celebrated its diversity, every diversity was viewed as a difference… we must remember that the republic of Bharat was born after Independence, but as a rashtra, it has been there for 5,000 years. Unfortunately, after Independence, the consciousness of a rashtra got weakened.' Governor Ravi praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for setting up the RRU in 2009, during the latter's stint as the Gujarat Chief Minister, citing the various terror attack incidents in the country in the preceding years, and said that the institution 'has to remain aligned with his (the PM's) vision.' A former IPS officer who has served in the Intelligence Bureau with assignments in Jammu & Kashmir, the North East and Maoist regions, Governor Ravi said that until 2014 the 'entire Northeast was burning' but now it is 'far, far near normal'. 'Northeast violence has reduced to insignificance,' he said, crediting the building of infrastructure like new airports, four-lane roads, digital connectivity, Railways and so on. He said, 'Because if you understand the organising principle of rashtra, we will be able to find solutions to our internal security problems in a way that will not create more problems but you will be able to resolve them. Because what we created before the PM came, was (that) in the course of finding solutions, we created more problems.' Criticising the creation of Nagaland as an 'ethnicity-based state', he said that the violence did not end and the region started getting 'vivisected'. He said, 'They created a homeland for Mizos, another for Garo and Khasi in Meghalaya, and even within Assam, there are more than 20 ethnicity-based homelands created under statutory provisions. You kept creating homelands for ethnic groups and within them, there are sub-groups which started fighting. It was like a nuclear reaction. It was a fission reaction. Society started breaking and from a peaceful region, it turned into more than 50 armed organisations.'

Kerala nuns' arrest reignites political and ecclesiastical fault lines in State ahead of polls
With Kerala heading into back-to-back elections in a few months, the State's political stage appears to be resetting itself around the charged issue of two nuns currently languishing in a Chhattisgarh jail, offering the United Democratic Front (UDF) and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) a potent rallying point and a strategic opening to turn the spotlight on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Sensing the political resonance of the issue, both the UDF and the LDF have already despatched delegations to the prison, a move that aims at reinforcing their connect with the Christian community. Their intervention has been matched by sharp attacks on the BJP's Kerala unit, which has been struggling to shake off perceptions of its parent outfit's alleged hostility towards minorities. Francis George MP, leader of the Kerala Congress and part of the UDF delegation in Chhattisgarh, has maintained that the BJP's hidden face in Kerala stands exposed through this episode. 'They have tried to woo the Christian community here. But this incident has revealed that their political agenda does not include any real concern for our community. Outside Kerala, their affiliates like the Bajrang Dal and the Vishva Hindu Parishad thrive on hatred against Christians,' he pointed out. 'TKerala nuns' arrest' Jose K. Mani, MP and chairperson of the rival Kerala Congress faction, too has reached Chhattisgarh and is expected to meet the nuns on Wednesday. The party led by him, the Kerala Congress (Mani), too has framed the arrest as a targeted assault on grassroots-level empowerment work led by the Catholic Church in tribal and marginalised communities. The protests led by both the coalitions are gathering momentum, especially in central Travancore, where Christian community wield considerable political clout. Meanwhile, the episode appears to have stirred unrest within the Catholic Church itself with a section of the clergy voicing concerns over the silence of certain Bishops, some of whom had earlier publicly lauded the BJP's national leadership and cultivated ties with party leaders at the local level. 'Whenever incidents of violence against Christians were reported from North India and Karnataka, it was Archbishop Peter Machado of Bengaluru who took the initiative to approach the Supreme Court seeking justice,' noted a senior Catholic priest. 'Neither the Bishops of the Syro-Malabar Church nor the Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council (KCBC) were willing to support him or join the case.' 'Even when Father Stan Swamy was branded a Maoist, imprisoned, and died in custody, the Church leadership in Kerala stuck to the line that Christians were safe under BJP rule — and continued Christmas and Easter courtesy visits to its leaders, ' he added.
