Chhattisgarh CM slams those giving ‘political colour' to arrest of Kerala nuns
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Friday lashed out at those giving a 'political colour' to the arrest of two Catholic nuns from Kerala on charges of human trafficking and forced religious conversion, saying the matter is sub judice and the law will take its course. Nuns Preethi Mary and Vandana Francis, along with an individual named Sukaman Mandavi, were arrested by the railway police at the Durg railway station in Chhattisgarh on July 25 following a complaint by a local Bajrang Dal functionary who accused them of 'forcibly converting' three girls from Narayanpur and 'trafficking' them. The Chief Minister claimed the girls, who were promised nursing training and subsequent job placements, were 'handed over' at the railway station by a man from Narayanpur to the nuns, who were allegedly taking them to Agra. Mr. Sai said it is alleged that this was an attempt at 'human trafficking and religious conversion through inducement.' 'This is a serious matter concerning the safety of women. The investigation is currently ongoing. The case is sub judice and the law will take its course,' he told reporters here. The Chief Minister highlighted that Chhattisgarh is a peaceful State where people of all religions and communities live in harmony. 'It is extremely unfortunate that a sensitive issue related to the safety of our daughters from Bastar is being given a political colour,' he said.

Chhattisgarh CM slams those giving political colour to arrest of Kerala nuns
New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Friday lashed out at those giving a 'political colour" to the arrest of two Catholic nuns from Kerala on charges of human trafficking and forced religious conversion, saying the matter is sub judice and the law will take its course. Nuns Preethi Mary and Vandana Francis, along with an individual named Sukaman Mandavi, were arrested by the railway police at the Durg Railway Station in Chhattisgarh on July 25 following a complaint by a local Bajrang Dal functionary who accused them of 'forcibly converting" three girls from Narayanpur and 'trafficking" them. The chief minister claimed the girls, who were promised nursing training and subsequent job placements, were 'handed over" at the railway station by a man from Narayanpur to the nuns, who were allegedly taking them to Agra. Sai said it is alleged that this was an attempt at 'human trafficking and religious conversion through inducement". 'This is a serious matter concerning the safety of women. The investigation is currently ongoing. The case is sub judice and the law will take its course," he told reporters here. The chief minister highlighted that Chhattisgarh is a peaceful state where people of all religions and communities live in harmony. 'It is extremely unfortunate that a sensitive issue related to the safety of our daughters from Bastar is being given a political colour," he said. The issue of the nuns' arrest was raised by opposition parties in the Parliament earlier this week. On Friday, a special NIA court in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur reserved its order on the bail application filed by the nuns and the other arrested person.

‘Harassment, false allegations': Meghalaya CM's letter to Chhattisgarh counterpart on arrest of 2 Kerala nuns
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has written to his Chhattisgarh counterpart, Vishnu Deo Sai, raising concern over the arrest of two nuns from Kerala by the Chhattisgarh Police. The National People's Party president, whose coalition government in Christian-majority Meghalaya also includes the BJP, wrote that the NPP believes this to be a 'case of harassment and false allegations'. The letter asked the BJP-led Chhattisgarh government to consider revoking the case lodged against the nuns. The two nuns, Preeti Marry and Vandana Francis, and another person, Sukhman Mandavi, were arrested last Friday at Durg railway station in Chhattisgarh. The FIR, registered under sections of the Chhattisgarh Religious Freedom Act and the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, was based on a complaint by a local Bajrang Dal worker. The complaint alleged that they converted three women from Narayanpur and were attempting to traffic them. One of the three women had earlier told The Indian Express that she was threatened and assaulted by a woman associated with a right-wing outfit and forced to change her statement. In his letter, Sangma wrote that the nuns were arrested 'under allegedly false charges and pressure from right-wing groups'. 'The situation arose when the nuns were accompanying three girls from Chhattisgarh to Agra. A Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE) questioned the girls, who said they didn't have tickets and were travelling at the nuns' request. The TTE alerted local activists, who then alleged the nuns were attempting to take the girls for forced religious conversion. This claim sparked a protest, and the police detained the nuns and girls based on the activists' complaint,' Sangma wrote. He requested CM Vishnu Deo Sai to ensure a fair investigation in the case, safeguard the rights of religious minorities in Chhattisgarh and consider revoking the case lodged against the nuns. 'A case has been lodged against the nuns under serious sections. We believe that this is a case of harassment and false allegations. Hence, we urge you to intervene and ensure justice. The Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) has also requested the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and Hon'ble Home Minister Amit Shah ji to intervene in this matter,' he wrote.
