Chhattisgarh public prosecutor opposes bail plea of Kerala nuns; order reserved
RAIPUR: A Bilaspur court on Friday reserved its verdict on the bail applications of three people, including two Kerala nuns, who were arrested on charges of human trafficking and forced religious conversion after the public prosecutor opposed their release, saying the probe was in its early stages. Hyderabad: Members of Christian community take part in a protest rally against the arrest of two Kerala nuns on allegations of forcible conversion and trafficking in Hyderabad on July 31 (PTI) Two Catholic nuns, Preethi Mary and Vandana Francis, along with Sukaman Mandavi, were arrested by the Government Railway Police (GRP) at Durg railway station on July 25 following a complaint by a local Bajrang Dal member. It was alleged that the three had trafficked and forcibly converted three young tribal women from Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur district. Public prosecutor Dauram Chandravanshi said he opposed the bail applications, arguing that the case was still in early stages of investigation. Principal District and Sessions Judge (NIA Court) Sirajuddin Qureshi heard the bail applications and is expected to deliver his verdict on Saturday, Chandravanshi said. Lawyer Amrito Das, who appeared for the three accused, said that the three were detained based on unverified allegations. 'The prosecution has not even sought their custodial interrogation. The alleged victims are all adults, are already practising Christianity, and have been sent back home,' he said. He also pointed out that the statements of the women's parents confirmed that they had not been taken away forcibly or fraudulently. The arrest has ignited a political row, with both the Congress and the CPI(M) slamming the move. In Kerala, state party chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar said the two nuns were arrested due to a 'misunderstanding' and that they would be released on bail soon. Chhattisgarh chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai, however, has accused the Opposition of politicising the matter and interfering with a police investigation. The Congress's Kerala unit sent a team to Chhattisgarh to reach out to the two nuns. The team included MPs Hibi Eden and Kodikunnil Suresh, who alleged that the move to refer the case from a Durg sessions court to a designated court for National Investigation Agency (NIA) cases was a deliberate attempt to delay bail. 'There is a conspiracy behind shifting the case to the NIA court. It's intended to prolong the legal process and keep the nuns behind bars,' Suresh told reporters at Raipur airport. MP Hibi Eden also questioned the legality of the detention, which he claimed was 'unlawful and unjust' and accused Chhattisgarh's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government of targeting Christians.' To be sure, 21-year-old Kamleshwari Pradhan, who was alleged to be the victim in the trafficking case against the nuns, has alleged that she was coerced into giving a false statement against the nuns by Bajrang Dal activists. She also alleged that the police failed to properly record her version of events. According to Pradhan, her family has been practising Christianity for the last four to five years.

RS adjourned till Monday amid Opposition protest over Bihar voter list revision
New Delhi, Aug 1 (UNI) Unrelenting protests by the Opposition over Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) forced repeated adjournments in Rajya Sabha today, eventually leading to the suspension of proceedings for the day. The House will reconvene on Monday, August 4. This marks the second consecutive week in the ongoing monsoon session during which zero hour has been disrupted, with no substantial legislative business conducted in the Upper House. As soon as the House convened for the day, Opposition members raised slogans demanding an urgent discussion on the alleged irregularities in the Bihar voter list revision. The uproar led to an early adjournment till 12 noon. When the House reassembled, the protests resumed, prompting Deputy Chairman Harivansh to adjourn proceedings for the day. Harivansh informed the House that he had received 30 notices from members across party lines under Rule 267 seeking suspension of business to allow discussions on a range of issues. Among them were Prof Manoj Jha (RJD), Tiruchi Siva (DMK), Neeraj Dangi, Rajni Patil, and Renuka Chowdhury (Congress), Sagarika Ghosh (Trinamool Congress), and John Brittas (CPI-M), all of whom sought debate on the Bihar SIR. Additional notices were submitted by members on diverse issues: rising violence against women in Odisha (BJD members Niranjan Bishi, Sultadevi, Sasmit Patra), alleged discrimination against Bengali workers in other states (Trinamool MPs Sameerul Islam and Mausam Noor), the arrest of two nuns in Chhattisgarh (AA Rahim, CPI-M), US tariffs on Indian products (Sanjay Singh, AAP and Ramjilal Suman, SP), and layoffs in the IT sector (V. Sivadasan, CPI-M). The Deputy Chairman clarified that none of the notices met the procedural requirements and were therefore disallowed. As Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal (AAP) was called to speak during zero hour, Opposition members stormed the well of the House, raising slogans such as 'Stop Vote Theft' and 'Raise Your Voice on SIR'. Harivansh appealed for order, reiterating that the Election Commission is a constitutional authority and the matter is sub judice before the Supreme Court. 'The conduct of the House is governed by rules, and the nation is watching,' he remarked, before adjourning the session. Earlier in the day, Congress MP Manickam Tagore submitted an adjournment motion describing SIR as a 'mass disenfranchisement of 65 lakh voters in Bihar' and an 'assault on democracy and the Constitution' by the Modi government. Meanwhile, MPs from the Opposition INDIA bloc staged a demonstration near the Makar Dwar in Parliament, demanding a detailed debate on the issue. The protest follows a resolution passed by the bloc on Thursday to escalate its opposition both inside and outside the House, particularly in light of the Election Commission's scheduled release of the draft electoral rolls for Bihar. With the disruption persisting through the day, no legislative business could be taken up, and the Rajya Sabha was adjourned until August 4. UNI AJ PRS
