Manoj Tiwari announces Shiv Puran Katha in Delhi, says Rahul Gandhi 'anti-Sanatan'
Speaking to IANS, Tiwari emphasised the scale and intent behind the initiative.
'By 'Manav Seva Shiksha Sansthan,' a very large event is being organised in the Burari Lok Sabha constituency. A Shiv Puran Katha in Hastinapur will be organised, and we take a pledge to send Ramcharitmanas' message to every home so that everyone knows about Lord Ram,' he said.
Encouraging mass participation, he added, 'We are here to appeal to people to come and join. Everyone who attends the programme will be given a copy of the Ramcharitmanas. Even if one crore people come, we will distribute Ramcharitmanas to all. We will ensure the sacred text reaches every home in Delhi.'
Manoj Tiwari also took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of harbouring a bias against the Hindu Sanatan faith.
'Rahul Gandhi has some serious jealousy with the Hindu religion,' Tiwari remarked, alleging that the Congress MP frequently makes statements against Sanatan Dharma out of a lack of genuine faith.
"We are promoting that people should come to Burari from May 22 to May 27. But they are campaigning that people should not attend such events. Those who oppose Sanatan Dharma, oppose Lord Ram and oppose values and righteousness, such as Rahul Gandhi. As for us, we are committed to our path, and we will ensure that the Ramcharitmanas reach every household in Delhi," he added.
He further added that Rahul Gandhi only shows off his religious beliefs, but his actions prove otherwise. Now that the caste-based census is on the agenda, even his caste identity will be revealed, and people will know which caste he belongs to.'

P Chidambaram Responds To Controversy Over 'Evidence' Remarks On Pahalgam Terror Attack
Congress leader and former Union Minister P Chidambaram has addressed the political storm surrounding his recent comments on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. Chidambaram, in an interview, questioned why the attackers have not been apprehended or their identities revealed, asking, 'Why have you not apprehended them? Why have you not even identified them?' This led to accusations by the BJP, notably Amit Malviya, who claimed that Chidambaram and the Congress were giving a "clean chit" to Pakistan. Responding to the controversy on social media, Chidambaram criticized what he called the 'worst kind of troll'—those who distort interviews by sharing only selective clips. He stated that such actions misrepresent his position and spread misinformation. He also noted the lack of comprehensive official information about the case, highlighting that details have been released only piecemeal by various officials, while there has been silence from top ministers. The National Investigation Agency (NIA), meanwhile, has arrested two local men alleged to have assisted the terrorists and maintains that the attackers were Pakistani nationals, although their names have not yet been released. Chidambaram continues to challenge the narrative, suggesting that the possibility of 'homegrown terrorists' should not be dismissed without clear evidence and transparency from the authorities. Chidambaram is scheduled to participate in the upcoming parliamentary debate on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, where these issues are expected to be discussed in detail.

Protests erupt in Kerala, Delhi over arrest of Keralite nuns in Chhattisgarh
The protests over the arrest of two Keralite nuns on charges of kidnapping, human trafficking and forced conversion at the Durg Railway station in Chhattisgarh last Friday appeared to gather momentum in Kerala and New Delhi on Monday (July 28, 2025). The protests also seemed to assume a politically bipartisan character with ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) and Opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) MPs from Kerala protesting simultaneously outside Parliament, denouncing the 'minority-hate-fuelled arrest of the nuns on 'trumped up' charges. UDF MPs held placards denouncing the 'Hindu right-wing' Bajrang Dal's 'coercive role' in the arrest of Sister Vandana Francis and Sister Preeta Mary of the order of the Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate (ASMI). They said 'Sangh Parivar activists had held a kangaroo court' at the railway station, falsely accusing the nuns of attempting to spirit away three women, including an Adivasi, to Agra for conversion to Christianity. The UDF and the LDF accused the Chhattisgarh police of towing the Bajrang Dal line meekly by sending the sisters into judicial remand. Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs George Kurian told reporters in New Delhi that the matter was still sub judice and he could not risk hazarding an opinion until the court processes the nuns' arrest. He stated that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Kerala president Rajeev Chandrasekhar was working closely with the Central and Chhattisgarh governments, as well as the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI), to secure the early release of the nuns. Notice in Parliament LDF's Rajya Sabha member John Brittas, MP, moved a notice in the Upper House, demanding an adjournment debate on the 'unjust' arrests. He also wrote to the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Vishnu Deo Sai, demanding the immediate release of the nuns. Closer home, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding justice for the 'unfairly incarcerated' nuns. Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan called on the parents of Sister Preeta Mary at their house in Elavoor Parish near Angamaly in Ernakulam. He termed the arrests 'arbitrary and fascist.' 'Christian nuns and priests are scared even to wear their habits in BJP-ruled States. The pervasive atmosphere of persecution by State-backed Sangh Parivar outfits constrains them from overtly celebrating Christmas and Easter. Prayers are held in secrecy for the laity's safety,' he said. Mr. Satheesan termed the BJP in Kerala 'a wolf in a sheep's clothing'. Meanwhile, Deepika, the mouthpiece of the Syro-Malabar Church in Kerala, wrote that there was 'a dichotomy' between the BJP's words and actions. The party frequently extends invitations to Christians in Kerala. At the same time, it allows Sangh Parivar groups to persecute them in BJP-ruled States, it claimed. The newspaper claimed that after the BJP came to power at the Centre in 2014, the attacks against Christians had multiplied. Yuhanon Mar Meletius, Metropolitan of the Orthodox Syrian Church, observed somewhat drily on social media that another round of honouring (Church leaders) in New Delhi would negate the need for protests, obliquely harking back to Mr. Modi's meeting with prelates, including from Kerala, on Easter Day in 2023. State General Education Minister V. Sivankutty dared Church leaders to take their protests to Mr. Modi's doorstep and alleged that no prelate had denounced the nuns' arrests. 'Prayers alone won't redeem the anti-minority atmosphere precipitated by the Sangh Parivar in the country', he added. Kerala Excise Minister M. B. Rajesh said that some sections were under the false belief that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was their defender. 'They should realise that the RSS doctrine categorises Muslims, Christians and communists as fifth columnists, and hence the enemy within. It's not too late for them to open their eyes', he added. VHP justifies arrests Meanwhile, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Kerala general secretary Anil Vilayil justified the arrests. He accused the CBCI of 'obfuscating the facts of the human trafficking' case. He alleged that the women travelling with nuns included an underage tribal woman.
