Has the country become banana republic, asks CPI MP on arrest of Kerala nuns
NEW DELHI: Communist Party of India (CPI) MP P Sandosh Kumar said on Tuesday that the arrests of two Catholic nuns, hailing from Kerala, in BJP-ruled Chhattisgarh on charges of human trafficking and forced religious conversion are "strange and shocking," and questioned if the country has become a "banana republic." According to media reports, the Kerala-based nuns were arrested at a railway station in Chhattisgarh recently on charges of human trafficking and forced conversion raised by right-wing activists. "This is a strange, shocking case. The charges are under (section) 143 of the BNS, which is human trafficking. If more than one victim is involved, it is an offence punishable with more than 10 years of imprisonment," Kumar told PTI Videos. "What is this human trafficking from Durg station to Agra station? Has this country become a banana republic?" he asked. "Under the BJP's raj, all minorities are being targeted. Christian nuns and fathers are afraid of wearing their dresses," he said.

Massive eviction drive underway in Assam's Golaghat; over 1500 Muslim families to be affected
"Where will we go from here? My father had come from Nagaon district around 40 years ago, but I was born here. We were brought here during the 1980s to protect the forest land from encroachment from Nagaland," said Ali Kazi, who also received an eviction notice. He claimed that most of the alleged encroachers' previous generation was settled in the forest area by the Janata Party government, headed by ex-CM Golap Borbora, in 1978-79 and the first AGP government, which came to power in 1985. Notably, the assembly was informed in March that almost 83,000 hectares of land belonging to Assam were being occupied by four neighbouring states. It was also stated that Nagaland captured the highest amount of land in Assam -- 59,490.21 hectares. Kazi claimed, "We have been cooperating with the authorities in this eviction drive. We requested them to settle us somewhere else, but they refused. We now have no option but to stay under tents. We are not even given drinking water; forget about food. It's very inhuman." Another eviction victim, Mamtaj Ali, asked, "If we were illegal settlers, how did we get electricity connections? Why did the government open schools and give us JJM connections? We were also given houses under PM Awas Yojana." When asked about these government infrastructure, a senior official of the forest department accepted that such facilities were provided by the authorities, and some of these installations were made even after 2016 when the BJP came to power for the first time in Assam. "I do not know why these were sanctioned and established in this area. These were made before I came here," he added. There were mosques and madrassa for people belonging to the Muslim community, while churches were set up by the Bodo people, the official said. For carrying out the eviction drive across 12 villages, the authorities divided the entire area into nine zones and conducted a survey accordingly, he added. "An extensive land survey of around 30 villages of the Rengma Reserve Forest was done.

BJP in Kerala defends ‘mistaken' arrests of nuns in Chhattisgarh, distances itself from Bajrang Dal
Bharathiya Janata Party (BJP) Kerala State president Rajeev Chandrasekhar has ought to distance the party in Kerala from the Bajrang Dal, a Hindu right-wing organisation suspected of mobbing two Keralite nuns at the Durg railway station in Chhattisgarh last Friday and allegedly browbeating the local law enforcement to arrest the nuns on 'questionable charges' of attempting to spirit away three local women, including a tribal community member, to Agra for 'forced' conversion to Christianity. Mr. Chandrasekhar told reporters in New Delhi on Tuesday (July 29, 2025) that Sisters Preeta Mary and Vandana Francis of the Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate (ASMI) order, hailing from Kannur and Angamaly, respectively, in Kerala, were not human traffickers or proselytisers as accused by Bajrang Dal activists in Chattisgarh. He said the Bajrang Dal did not bear the BJP's imprimatur and was an independent organisation. Mr. Chandrasekhar's denouncement of the arrests came after the BJP in Kerala came under severe criticism from Church leaders, as well as the ruling front and the Opposition. The arrests also arguably threatened to derail the BJP's political programme in Kerala, which aimed to woo the electorally significant Christian community to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) fold, ahead of the local body polls later this year and the Assembly elections in 2026. 'Misunderstanding, miscommunication' Mr. Chandrasekhar said a profound 'misunderstanding and miscommunication' had culminated in the 'unfortunate arrests.' He said the nuns were taking the women to Agra for employment with the consent of their parents. 'The women were adults and they accompanied the sisters on their own volition,' he added. 'Inadvertent procedural lapse' 'However, there was an inadvertent procedural lapse. They forgot to register the passage under the Chhattisgarh Private Placement Agencies (Regulation) Rules, 2014. The arrests are the result of a 100% misunderstanding and miscommunication. The sisters are entirely innocent of the charges of forced conversion and human trafficking. The State (Kerala) BJP is with the nuns and will ensure their freedom and help them prove their innocence', he added. Mr. Chandrasekhar also condemned the Bajrang Dal's alleged intimidation and public trial of the nuns at the railway station. 'If they have broken the law, the law should hold them to task', he said. When reporters pointed out that Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai had on Monday backed the arrests by stating that the case concerned 'human trafficking and conversion', Mr. Chandrasekhar said certain groups engaged in proselytisation using inducements and threats to convert Scheduled Cast and Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST) to other religions. He said that alongside human trafficking, issues such as forced conversion were matters that deeply concerned society. 'It's a complex issue. The Congress government had, in 2006, amended the Chhattisgarh Religion Freedom (Amendment) Act, 2006, making forced conversion, especially of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe citizens, a punishable offence (with up to three years imprisonment and a fine of ₹2 lakh),' he said. When journalists pointed out that Mr. Sai had called for a more stringent anti-conversion law entailing the delisting of tribals who convert to other religions, Mr. Chandrasekhar said: 'The Chief Minister has merely highlighted large issues in his State, including the need to ensure communal harmony and security of tribal women.'
