ed-raids-ex-kerala-cm-pinarayi-vijayans-house-in-money-laundering-case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday conducted searches at the residences of former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and former Public Works Minister P.A. Mohammed Riyas as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation. Riyas, the Beypore MLA, is married to Vijayans daughter, Veena Vijayan. The probe is linked to allegations that Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL), a private company, made payments amounting to Rs 1.72 crore to Exalogic Solutions, an IT firm owned by Veena, between 2018 and 2019 without receiving any services in return. Investigators suspect that the funds were routed for illegal payments to politicians, political parties, media organisations, and public servants. Although Vijayan, a CPI(M) politburo member, has not been questioned in the case so far, officials indicated that his statement could be recorded as the investigation progresses. ED teams simultaneously carried out searches at 10 locations across Kerala, including Vijayans rented residence near Bakery Junction in Thiruvananthapuram, where Veena also resides, and his house in Kannur. Raids were also conducted at the offices of CMRL and at premises linked to senior company officials, including Managing Director Sasidharan Kartha. The agencys action came a day after the Kerala High Court dismissed a petition filed by CMRL seeking to quash the ED proceedings in the case. In its order on Tuesday, the High Court clarified that the ED can initiate inquiries and issue summons even without a formal FIR for a scheduled offence. The court observed that the existence of an FIR is not a mandatory requirement for issuing summons under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The CPI(M) strongly condemned the ED raids at Vijayans residence, describing them as a targeted attack orchestrated by the BJP-led central government against a senior Opposition leader. This is a targeted attack on a top Opposition leader by the BJP government. Such actions will not intimidate Pinarayi Vijayan or the CPI(M), the party said in a post on X. The party also raised questions over the role of the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala, asking whether it was complicit in the ED action. CPI(M) Kannur District Secretary K.K. Ragesh said the ED raids are part of a design by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to politically target Vijayan and the Left party. He said the action was similar to the way former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party were targeted using central investigative agencies. Ragesh also alleged that the Congress and the BJP were colluding to destroy the CPI(M). The current Kerala CM aspirant V.D. Satheesan and V.D. Savarkar seem to share more than just similar initials. It is already evident that Satheesan is working hand in hand with the BJP, he said. (With inputs from Nirmal Jovial)

Delegation moves NHRC against demolitions in Jammu; rights body assures investigation
A delegation under the leadership of Adv Sunil Kumar Bainsla on Tuesday comprising advocates and social activists from Delhi met Vijaya Bharati, Member of the National Human Rights Commission, and submitted a detailed complaint regarding the alleged forcible demolition of houses belonging to the nomadic Gujjar-Bakkarwal community at Sidra, Jammu, in Jammu and Kashmir. The delegation demanded that an NHRC fact-finding team immediately visit the affected area at village the Bandi (Sidhara )area of Jammu Khas Tehsil and conduct an on-the-spot inquiry into the alleged human rights violations arising out of the demolition drive carried out on 20 May 2026. The delegation was led by Supreme Court Advocate Sunil Kumar Bainsla and included Advocate Virender Kassana, Advocate Sajid Choudhary, Advocate Kabaj Ram, Advocate AV Shukla, Advocate Kundan Singh, Advocate Rajesh Tanak, Advocate Mahesh Bhati, Advocate Nishkersh Gupta, Advocate Sunder Singh, Advocate Ruby, and Rajesh Kumar Garg, said a press release. The complainants alleged that the Jammu & Kashmir administration, accompanied by police personal and forest officials , demolished the houses of poor Gujjar-Bakkarwal families who had been residing in the area for generations along with their elderly parents, women, children, and infants. Photographs of the demolished houses were also submitted to the Commission along with the complaint. The delegation alleged that the authorities acted in an arbitrary and discriminatory manner without following the principles of natural justice. They further stated that the affected families were not even given sufficient time to remove their household belongings and essential items before bulldozers razed their homes. Referring to the provisions of the Forest Rights Act, the complaint stated that The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 has been applicable to the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh since 26 October 2020. Therefore, Gujjar-Bakkarwal families residing on forest land are entitled to legal protection and recognition of their traditional rights. The memorandum further stated that the erstwhile rulers of Jammu & Kashmir had historically permitted the ancestors of the Gujjar-Bakkarwal community to reside and use the land at village Sidhara (Bandi) for grazing and livelihood purposes. Hence, the families cannot be treated as unauthorized occupants or displaced in such an inhuman manner. The delegation also highlighted the patriotic contribution and sacrifices of the Gujjar community in safeguarding the borders and national integrity of India, particularly the Gujjar-Bakkarwal community of Jammu & Kashmir, which has rendered immense service to the nation over the decades. The complainants demanded immediate directions from the NHRC to the authorities in Jammu & Kashmir to provide urgent relief and rehabilitation measures, including tents, drinking water, food, and other essential assistance to the displaced families. They also sought strict action against the officials allegedly responsible for the demolition. During the meeting, NHRC Member Vijaya Bharati assured the delegation that a human rights inquiry team would be sent to the affected area for investigation into the matter.

New Delhi, May 26:The principal ritual of Hajj, Wuquf-e-Arafah, was performed by lakhs of believers on the plains of Mount Arafat, where Sheikh Ali Al-Hudhaify, Chief Imam and Khateeb of Masjid an-Nabawi in Madina, delivered the Hajj sermon and called upon the Muslim Ummah to demonstrate solidarity, uphold unity, and stand together against evil and discord. Sheikh Hudaify also appealed to pilgrims to embody the values of compassion, patience, humility, and brotherhood, reminding them that Hajj symbolises equality, unity, and complete submission to Allah. The Imam also led the combined and shortened Dhur and Asr prayers.

Stressing the universal message of Islam, he declared that no race, nationality, or ethnicity holds superiority over another except through piety, righteousness, and good deeds.

He delivered the historic sermon from the pulpit of Masjid Al-Namirah on Mount Arafat, marking a significant moment of worship for millions of Muslim pilgrims Pilgrims streamed into Arafat, where they spent the day in worship, recitation of Quranic verses, remembrance of Allah, and supplication. Soon after the day break, the pilgrims started moving toward Mount Arafat for performing another important ritual of the Hajj. Widely regarded in Islamic tradition as the pinnacle and heart of Hajj, the standing at Arafat known as Wuquf Arafah is considered the pilgrimages central rite. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, Hajj is Arafah, emphasising the essential nature of the gathering. Islamic scholars describe the day as one of the holiest in the Islamic calendar and a moment associated with mercy, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal. It also coincides with the Farewell Pilgrimage of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in 632 CE, during which he delivered his final sermon at Mount Arafat, outlining principles of justice, equality, and the sanctity of life and property. Arafat, located about 20 km southeast of Makkah, is an open plain dominated by Jabal Al-Rahmah, or the Mount of Mercy, where many pilgrims gather for prayer and contemplation. Islamic tradition holds that the site is linked to the reunion of Prophet Adam (SAW) and his spouse and remains deeply symbolic for Muslims worldwide. Security forces deployed along routes and walkways closely monitored pilgrim convoys to manage crowds. Waqoof-e-Arafah is considered the heart of Hajj, and completing it is essential for the pilgrimage to be valid. The pilgrims will remain in Arafat until sunset, offering prayers, repentance, and supplications. Immediately after sunset, they departed for Muzdalifah, where they spent the night under the open sky, combining Maghrib and Isha prayers, and collecting pebbles for the symbolic stoning of the Satan.
