Motha delegation seeks immediate deportation of illegal immigrants
Agartala: A 15-member delegation of the ruling BJP's coalition partner, TIPRA Motha, led by forest minister of Tripura Animesh Debbarma, called on the governor on Saturday to press for the immediate deportation of illegal immigrants from the state and submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister.
Reiterating Motha's stand to deport all individuals who entered Tripura illegally after May 24, 1971, the delegation stated that such migrants must be pushed back to Bangladesh or sent to their countries of origin. The party has been pursuing the demand for the last few days after the ministry of home affairs (MHA) issued a notification last month.
"While other states are actively identifying and deporting illegal foreigners as per directions from MHA, Tripura remains the only state where the administration has completely failed to act.
This inaction has turned Tripura into a gateway for continuous illegal entry of Bangladeshi and Rohingya nationals, resulting in demographic imbalance and a threat to security," Debbarma said.
They demanded the formation of a high-level committee comprising representatives from all central paramilitary forces and state police to coordinate a pushback operation against illegal migrants who entered the state after the cutoff date.

The memorandum stresses the urgent need for the Centre's intervention to safeguard the indigenous population and uphold national security. The party accuses the state machinery of deliberately ignoring the issue for political gains. However, sources indicated that the implementation of such a demand may be politically sensitive. Many individuals who migrated after 1971 have since acquired Indian citizenship — some even serving as elected representatives.

The latest exchange of strikes between Israel and Iran on Sunday resulted in civilian casualties and heightened fears of a broader regional conflict, with both militaries urging civilians on the opposing side to take precautions against further strikes. The latest developments have stoked concerns about disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz , a vital shipping passage. Live Events About a fifth of the world's total oil consumption, or some 18 to 19 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil, condensate and fuel, passes through the Strait. "Buying was driven by the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, with no resolution in sight," said Toshitaka Tazawa, an analyst at Fujitomi Securities. "But as seen last Friday, some selling emerged on concerns of overreaction," he said. While markets are watching for potential disruptions to Iranian oil production due to Israel's strikes on energy facilities, heightened fears over a Strait of Hormuz blockade could sharply lift prices, Tazawa added. Iran, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC ), currently produces around 3.3 million bpd and exports more than 2 million bpd of oil and fuel. The spare capacity of OPEC and its allies, including Russia, to pump more oil to offset any disruption is roughly equivalent to Iran's output, according to analysts and OPEC watchers. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he hopes Israel and Iran can broker a ceasefire, but added that sometimes countries have to fight it out first. Trump said the U.S. will continue to support Israel but declined to say if he asked the U.S. ally to pause its strikes on Iran. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he hoped a meeting of the Group of Seven leaders convening in Canada on Sunday would reach an agreement to help resolve the conflict and keep it from escalating. Meanwhile, Iran has told mediators Qatar and Oman that it is not open to negotiating a ceasefire while under Israeli attack, an official briefed on the communications told Reuters on Sunday.

BJP attacks DMK govt over Murugan meet
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday said that the DMK government is trying to obstruct the Murugan conference, organised by the right wing outfit Hindu Munnai, though the Madras high court gave its permission for the meeting to be held on June 22. The Muruga Bakthargalin Aanmeega Maanadu (Spiritual conference of devotees of Murugan) is embroiled in controversy, with the Tamil Nadu police imposing several conditions, including restricting the 11-day programme to three days. On June 8, Union home minister Amit Shah, invited public to the event — BJP's second round of outreach in Tamil Nadu using the Tamil deity Lord Murugan after a similar attempt ahead of the 2021 assembly elections. This also comes a year after the DMK, known to have been established with rationalist tenets, also organised a conference for Lord Murugan last year. On June 13, the Madurai bench of the Madras high court granted permission for the event but asked the Hindu Munnani, to comply with the conditions laid down by the police in Madurai district where the event will take place. On Sunday at a press conference, state BJP president Nainar Nagendran said that chief minister MK Stalin and minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Sekar Babu have been creating obstructions. 'The DMK is heading towards losing so they are scared. It is not right that they are giving us so much trouble. But, the high court has given us permission with conditions and we will conduct the Murugan conference accordingly,' Nagendran said. Tamil Nadu faces its next assembly elections in 2026. The police have maintained in court that their objection is based on crowd management to avoid a stampede-like situation like in Bengaluru after the victory parade for IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The conference will see the recital of Kandha Shashti Kavasam for Lord Murugan. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, might get invited to participate, a BJP leader said on condition of anonymity. Shah in his speech a week ago drew in Lord Murugan over the Thiruparankunram issue. Earlier in February, there was tension at a temple (one of the six abodes of Lord Murugan) in Thiruparankundram near Madurai after members of Hindu Munnani held a protest against a demand by a few Muslim organisations to rename the hillock, which is also home to a dargah as Sikander malai (hillock). At the time, the residents belonging to the Hindu and Muslim communities said that they have coexisted peacefully for generations. But Shah said that the DMK had insulted Hindu worshippers here. Last August, DMK government organised a two-day conference on Lord Murugan as part of its efforts to oppose the BJP painting them as anti-Hindu and to manage the fallout of deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin's controversial remarks against Sanatana Dharma. But since it was a far cry from the party's rationalist beginnings, the DMK came under attack by its ideological fount, the Dravida Kazhagam (DK). Even DMK's allies, the Viduthalai Chirutaigal Katchi (VCK), CPI, CPI (M) had kept a distance from the conference which had passed resolutions including school students to sing Hindu religious hymn sung in praise of Lord Murugan 'Kandha Shashti Kavasam' in temples during religious events, organising competitions on devotional literature involving Lord Murugan in schools and colleges run by temples managed by HR&CE department, and including learnings of Murugan as part of the college curriculum. But, the DMK had then argued that it was within its linguistic politics with Lord Murugan being a celebrated household name in Tamil Nadu, cutting across caste lines and popular among the Tamil diaspora outside India. The vetri vel yatra (victorious spear held by Lord Murugan) was launched by then president of the BJP state unit L Murugan trying to appropriate the significance of the deity before the assembly elections 2021. Though the yatra received a tepid response, it became the talking point as the then state government, led by BJP's ally the AIADMK, denied permission for the yatra. BJP leaders defied orders and courted arrest as they carried on with the yatra for three weeks across Tamil Nadu. Later, 'Vetrivel, Veeravel' became the BJP's war cry during the election campaign. BJP national leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Shah began their rallies by raising the slogan. A DMK leader who did not wish to be named said that police have denied permission even to their own allies such as the VCK from organising events that lead to large crowds. 'The conditions are only for crowd management. The BJP can organise as many conferences as they want for Gods but they will not be able to attract the Tamil voters,' the DMK leader said.

Real purpose of education is to build a value-based society
Hyderabad: The three-day Akhil Bharatiya Prant Pramukh Baithak (All India State Head Meeting) of Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal concluded on Sunday at Kanha Shanti Vanam in the city. The significant event saw the participation of 313 eminent educators from across the country, alongside over 30 Vice Chancellors from various universities and directors of nationally important educational institutions. The meeting was formally inaugurated by the Governor of Tripura, N Indrasena Reddy, and the valedictory session was addressed by Dr Manmohan Vaidya, former Sah Sarkaryavah (Joint General Secretary) and current All India Executive Committee Member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Addressing the gathering during the valedictory session, Dr Vaidya emphasised the fundamental importance of values in life. He stated that values are the essence that truly makes a human, human, and that the real purpose of education is to build a value based society, which can guide the creation of a prosperous and strong India. He further added that while skills are attractive, it is values that inspire people and bring about real transformations. A skilled person attracts others, he said, but a person with values inspires and brings change in others' lives. Dr Vaidya also highlighted the need for introspection and reflection in life, stating that a brief pause was essential for self contemplation and to gain clarity and momentum in one's work. He stressed that the spirit of giving more than taking is deeply rooted in Indian values and that unwavering commitment to these values can inspire society at large. If there is dedication to the nation and values in life, it becomes easy to find time for national work, he remarked. The meeting was organised with the core objective of strengthening the Indian education system by integrating values, character building, and Indian culture into its fundamental principles. Over the three days, participants engaged in various intellectual sessions, dialogues, and workshops. These discussions focused on the Indian perspective on education, the inclusion of Indian ethos in educational policies, the necessity of value based education, and the crucial role of universities. This initiative by Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal represents a significant step toward making India's educational landscape fundamentally Indian, ensuring that future generations are not only knowledgeable but also culturally aware, ethical, and responsible citizens.
