Congress slams BJP's 'feudal mindset' over rising crimes against minorities
NEW DELHI: Stepping up attacks on the BJP government over the alleged rise in attacks on SC/STs, Adivasis, backward classes and minorities, the Congress on Friday asserted that it is a dangerous manifestation of the RSSBJPs feudal mindset. In a post on X, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge pointed out that between 2013 and 2023, there has been a 46% increase in crimes against SC/STs, according to the NCRB report. The crimes against Adivasis have increased by 91 percent, he said. Kharge further cited recent incidents of caste-based discrimination and violence, including, the lynching of SC/ST man Hariom Valmiki in Rae Bareli district of Uttar Pradesh, the attack on Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and the recent suicide of an SC/ST IPS officer from Haryana. Caste discrimination against an IPS officer in Haryana, the harassment of Hariom Valmiki, the attack on the CJI and the BJP mindset justifying it, and the atrocities against elderly SC/ST woman Kamla Devi Raigar in Sawai Madhopur district of BJP-ruled Rajasthan. All these recent incidents are not just isolated events, but a dangerous manifestation of the RSSBJPs feudal mindset, he wrote. Kharge said that the chain of events is a direct assault on the fundamental principles of Indias Constitution, social justice, and equality. This politics of intimidating and suppressing SC/STs, backward classes, Adivasis, and marginalised communities poses a serious threat to democracy, he said. Taking aim at the Modi government, he said that SC/STs, Adivasis, backward classes, minorities, and weaker sections are bearing the brunt of it And you are keeping your eyes shut to these issues while remaining engrossed in your own spectacles, he added. India will be governed by the Constitution, not by the decrees of any extremist ideology, he warned the government. Earlier on Thursday, Kharge alleged that the suicide of a SC/ST IPS officer in Haryana was a horrific testament to the social injustice, inhumanity, and insensitivity under the ruling BJPs Manuwadi system.

CHANDIGARH: The Nayab Singh Saini-led BJP government in Haryana is exploring the possibility of replacing Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Kapur and Superintendent of Police (SP) of Rohtak Narendra Bijarnia by sending them on long leave, while appointing an officiating DGP amid mounting pressure on the state administration to act on the explosive allegations made by senior IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar in his nine-page suicide note . The case has snowballed into a major political and administrative issue. Meanwhile, Kumars wife, senior IAS officer Amneet, has written to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Chandigarh demanding amendments in the First Information Report (FIR) registered yesterday. Sources said Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini held a meeting with top officials of his government following the developments surrounding the death by suicide of IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar. State Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi and several senior officials were present at the meeting held at the Chief Ministers official residence in Chandigarh. The government is reportedly considering sending DGP Shatrujeet Kapur on leave and appointing an officiating DGP in his place. Sources further indicated that if Kapur is indeed sent on leave, the names of two senior officers are being considered as frontrunners for the post, 1990 batch IPS officer O.P. Singh, currently posted as Director General, State Narcotics Control Bureau, and 1993 batch IPS officer Alok Mittal, presently Additional DGP, State Anti-Corruption Bureau. Sources also claimed that Rohtak SP Narendra Bijarnia is likely to be transferred as part of a wider reshuffle. Meanwhile, the Haryana Civil Services (Executive Branch) Officers Association has extended full solidarity and moral support to senior IAS officer Amneet, wife of the deceased IPS officer. In a representation to Chief Minister Saini, the association demanded that the matter be treated with utmost seriousness, sensitivity and impartiality, ensuring that a fair and time-bound investigation is conducted in accordance with the new criminal laws. In the interest of justice, the association also suggests that it is absolutely necessary to temporarily remove accused officers from positions of power to alleviate apprehension of undue influence over junior-ranking investigating officers, it stated. Dalit IPS officer's death: Chandigarh Police registers FIR against those named in final note Kumar had reportedly blamed DGP Shatrujeet Kapur for harassment, which allegedly forced him to take the extreme step, as mentioned in his suicide note. Accompanied by several senior bureaucrats, Chief Minister Saini visited the official residence of Amneet Kumar and paid his condolences. She had sought the Chief Ministers intervention to ensure the registration of an FIR against those named in the suicide note. Late at night, the Chandigarh Police registered the FIR. A day after the FIR was lodged in connection with the death by suicide of Kumar, his wife Amneet wrote to the SSP of Chandigarh demanding that amendments be made to the FIR. In her letter dated October 10, Amneet pointed out that the names of the alleged accused DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and SP Narendra Bijarnia had not been clearly mentioned in the FIR, even though they were central to her complaint. Demanding that the FIR be amended to accurately reflect the names of all accused individuals, she wrote, As per the prescribed FIR format, all accused should be clearly listed under Column No. 7. Amneet further alleged that the sections of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act mentioned in the FIR were diluted and not in accordance with the gravity of the offence. She demanded that the relevant and stringent provision, Section 3(2)(v), be added to ensure that correct legal provisions are applied. She also raised concerns over the non-receipt of the Final Note dated October 7, which was recovered from the pocket of her husband and another copy from his archive. She stated that she had not received certified copies of either note, preventing her from verifying the version referenced in the FIR. Seeking the SSPs intervention, she requested immediate correction and amendment of the FIR and the supply of certified copies of the Final Notes for record and verification. She stated that the copy of FIR No. 156, dated October 9, which was handed over to her at her Sector 24-A residence at 10:22 p.m. by SSP UT Chandigarh Kanwardeep Kaur, was incomplete and unsigned and failed to name the key accused persons mentioned in her original complaint. The FIR was reportedly lodged nearly two to four hours after the incident, following strong objections from the bereaved family, who had earlier refused to conduct the post-mortem or perform last rites until the case was formally registered.

Kharge slams RSS-BJP over rise in crimes against Dalits, Adivasis; says its a threat to Constitution
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday came down heavily on the BJP and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), accusing them of fostering a feudal mindset and turning a blind eye to rising caste-based violence in the country. Referring to NCRB data from 2013 to 2023, Kharge stated that crimes against Dalits have increased by 46%, while crimes against Adivasis have surged by 91% during the same period. In a post on X, he accused the BJP of enabling and justifying a feudal and casteist mindset that manifests in violent and discriminatory actions against marginalized communities. . @narendramodi , NCRB , 2013 2023 46% 91% IPS , , CJI pic.twitter.com/3XKm8dCQCe Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) October 10, 2025 Kharge listed recent incidents of caste-based discrimination and violence, including, the lynching of Dalit man Hariom Valmiki in Rae Bareli district of Uttar Pradesh, the attack on Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and the recent suicide of a Dalit IPS officer from Haryana. These are not isolated events, Kharge wrote. They are a dangerous manifestation of the RSSBJPs feudal mindset and a direct assault on the Constitution, social justice, and the principles of equality. He accused the ruling party of indulging in a politics of intimidation aimed at suppressing Dalits, Adivasis, backward classes, minorities, and other marginalized groups. According to Kharge, such politics poses a serious threat to Indias democratic fabric. India will be governed by the Constitution, not by the decrees of any extremist ideology, Kharge said. The Congress President also took a veiled swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that while the most vulnerable sections of society suffer daily indignities and violence, you are keeping your eyes shut to these issues while remaining engrossed in your own spectacles. Earlier on Thursday, Kharge alleged that the suicide of a Dalit IPS officer in Haryana was a horrific testament to the social injustice , inhumanity, and insensitivity under the ruling BJP's Manuwadi system. The BJP's 'Manuwadi' system has become a curse for the SC, ST, OBC, and weaker sections of this country. The news of the forced suicide of Haryana's senior Dalit IPS officer, ADGP Y Puran Kumar, is not only shocking but also a horrific testament to social injustice, inhumanity, and insensitivity.

Congress pinning hopes on D K Shivakumar's magic in Kerala too?
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Will there be a D K Shivakumar effect in the Kerala assembly election as had happened in Telangana? The question has popped up with the appointment of Harsha Kanadam, a protg of the Karnataka deputy CM, as chairperson of the Congress state war room in Thiruvananthapuram to oversee its campaign and strategy formulation. It doesnt mean Shivakumar will be directly involved in Congress election strategy planning, but there are enough straws in the wind that suggest the ace strategists possible deep involvement in the process. Shivakumar had played a pivotal role in the campaign and Congress subsequent return to power in Telangana, a leader from Karnataka told TNIE. He held no official positions, but was camping in Telangana to oversee the campaign and drawing up strategies. In the last Lok Sabha election also he helped the Congress in Kerala, he said. Of the five states going to polls next year Assam, West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, the high command pins high hopes on Kerala to wrest power. Helping Congress wrest power 1st priority: Harsha However, the disunity within the state leadership with a group of senior leaders eying the CM post has been a concern for some time. Harsha Kanadam would take charge after meeting the leaders at the war room in Delhi. My first priority is to help Congress wrest power in Kerala, Harsha told TNIE. We will be connecting to the people at the grassroots with technology. This will be done by taking into confidence local leaders and with the guidance of senior leaders. I will be accessible to all workers, he added. Harsha was an AICC observer in Haryana, Maharashtra and Delhi assembly elections. The Congress high command is of the opinion that unless the party came to power in maximum number of states, particularly in south India, its future would be bleak.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday alleged that the recent suicide of a Dalit IPS officer in Haryana was a horrific testament to the social injustice, inhumanity, and insensitivity under the ruling BJP's Manuwadi system. The Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha claimed the unjust system fostered by the BJP and RSS has repeatedly crushed the self-respect of Dalits, Adivasis, backward classes, and minorities, which is fatal for the Constitution and democracy. The BJP's 'Manuwadi' system has become a curse for the SC, ST, OBC, and weaker sections of this country. The news of the forced suicide of Haryana's senior Dalit IPS officer, ADGP Y Puran Kumar, is not only shocking but also a horrific testament to social injustice, inhumanity, and insensitivity. My deepest condolences to the family, Kharge said in a post on X. The Congress chief was referring to the recent suicide of a Dalit IPS officer from Haryana, Y Puran Kumar, who was found dead with gunshot wounds at his residence on Tuesday. In his suicide note, Kumar had named 13 senior officers, including 10 IPS and three IAS officers, for continued blatant caste based discrimination, targeted mental harassment and public humiliation. Pointing out the recent attack on the Chief Justice of India by a Supreme Court lawyer, Kharge said that the BJP has deeply entrenched the Manuwadi mentality in this country in the last 11 years. SC, ST, OBC IPS , ADGP, . , , pic.twitter.com/toz01agFre Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) October 9, 2025 When the Honorable Chief Justice of India (CJI) can be openly attacked in the Supreme Court, and the BJP's ecosystem can defend it by citing casteism and religion, we must understand that the slogan of Sabka Saath was a crude joke, he said. Kharge also highlighted the incident where a Dalit man was lynched to death in Rae Bareli earlier this month. The exploitative habit of the Manuwadi mentality, which has persisted for thousands of years, cannot change so quickly. That is why an unarmed Dalit like Hariom Valmiki is brutally murdered through mob lynching, and Prime Minister Modi ji does not even utter two words of condemnation, he said.

Chief Minister Saini visited Amneet on Thursday to offer condolences, accompanied by senior officials including Minister Krishan Lal Panwar, Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, Home Secretary Sumita Misra, and others. Amneet, Commissioner and Secretary in Haryanas Foreign Cooperation Department, was part of an official delegation to Japan led by the CM. She returned to India on Wednesday upon receiving the news of her husband's death. Sources said Amneet, in a confidential letter to the CM, expressed anguish over grave injustice and administrative inaction 48 hours after her husband's death. The nine-page suicide note names senior police officers for his alleged harassment and mental torture. In her letter, Amneet expressed deep grief and a sense of injustice over the loss of her husband, a Presidents Medal awardee. She urged that his suicide note, titled Final Note, be treated as a dying declaration, citing cognizable offences under the SC/ST Act, and called his death a major loss to those who saw him as a symbol of empowerment. In her demands to the CM, Amneet has sought: Immediate registration of an FIR against all individuals named in the suicide note and complaint, suspension and arrest of the accused to prevent tampering with evidence or influencing the investigation, permanent security cover for her family, particularly her two daughters, citing threats and emotional distress, protection of the familys dignity and rights in the face of continued harassment and fear.

Officials stated that the autopsy would be conducted by a board of doctors once the family is ready and procedural clearances are obtained. Oppn demand impartial probe On Thursday, several political leaders urged the government for an impartial investigation into the death of the senior IPS officer. Former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda demanded an impartial probe saying that it is the state governments responsibility to ensure justice.

Congress MP from Ambala, Varun Chaudhary, alleged that Scheduled Caste officers are being harassed by senior officials in the BJP government, pushing them into mental distress. An FIR should be registered against those named in the suicide note. All documents recovered from Kumars house should also be preserved, he added. Former Union Minister and Congress MP from Sirsa, Kumari Selja said, If an honest officer is driven to suicide due to systemic failures, it is a matter of grave concern. I extend my condolences to the bereaved family and demand a high-level, impartial investigation to ensure such incidents do not recur. Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Surjewala called the incident a case of forced suicide, describing it as both shocking and deeply tragic. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he said, While the Chief Minister remains silent, we hope the Chandigarh Administration and the Union Home Ministry will heed to the plea of Puran Kumars wife and ensure justice. He questioned, Is Haryanas BJP government so prejudiced that a Dalit IPS officer neither receives a hearing nor justice?

How Mubeena P A, a young mother of three, became a bodybuilding champion in a matter of months
In May, when Mubeena P As name was announced as the South Asia Gold Medallist in bodybuilding at a grand event held in Mumbai, the 35-year-old mother of three could not believe her ears. I never thought Id reach this far, she tells TNIE . I only wanted to see how strong I could get. Indeed, her journey began far from the world of witness. Originally from Kochi, Mubeena was working in a salon in Dubai when she fell seriously ill. I had a terrible stomach pain, she recalls. And when I consulted doctors, they told me I needed immediate surgery. So, Mubeena returned home and was admitted in a local private hospital. But the operation that ensued only complicated matters. I had to immediately get yet another surgery at a different hospital to undo the damage. But even then, it was the post-recovery part that was the most painful, she says. For seven months, Mubeena was confined to her bed and with a colostomy bag. Those were hard days, she recalls. To pass the time, she began watching reels online, and quickly enough, went down a rabbit hole on fitness videos. I saw reels of women lifting, training, and transforming themselves, says Mubeena, who was an enthusiastic athlete during her school and college years, having taken part in many relays and sprints. Something about those women gave me energy. I wanted to feel my old strength again, Mubeena continues. So, when her stitches healed, she asked her doctor if she could start exercising. He agreed. I was scared at first, Mubeena admits. I kept thinking, What if something breaks inside? Well, it didnt. And what began as slow walks soon turned into light training and eventually gym visits. Then came the routine that would shape her days: waking at 4.30am, running long stretches, cardio in the morning, weight training in the evening, and work at a city salon in between. Discipline became everything, Mubeena says. No steroids, no shortcuts. Just hard work and diet. In November 2024, Mubeena stepped onto her first stage for the Miss India bodybuilding event in Chennai and finished second runner-up. The results only pushed her further. In less than a year since beginning her training, she won titles at Miss Ernakulam, Miss Kerala, Open Kerala Silver, and the South India Championship, before clinching the South Asia Gold in Mumbai. Mubeena P A Each medal came with its own price. I dont have sponsors, she says. I often take loans to be able to compete. But its worth it when Im on stage. The hardest part, however, wasnt financial, but social. Some people cant accept women in bodybuilding, especially when were on stage in bikinis, says Mubeena, who hails from a conservative Muslim background. They think its wrong. But I dont do it to impress anyone. This is my passion. I know myself. Thats enough. Even injuries havent slowed her. After I broke my left hand, I had steel plates inserted for a while. Even after they were removed, people warned me about returning to the gym. They said my hands would be weak and prone to injuries. But I believed I could heal stronger, Mubeena says. Mubeena P A Next, shes gearing up for the Miss Universe Championship in Haryana next year, where she hopes to earn a Pro Card, officially making her a professional athlete. Thats my dream, she says. Ive been selected already, but I have not lined up sponsors yet. Besides, I think I should reset my body, Mubeena says. But she does not plan to stay idle. The routine will continue, of course, and now, given that her name rings loud in bodybuilding circles, several young women have also started to approach her seeking a mentor and others, inspiration. I always tell them, Im just a normal woman. If I can, you can too. Once you push through that first wall, be it family, fear, whatever it is, the support starts coming, she says. In my case, the win is not important. Ive already achieved the courage to start again, to rebuild my life. Thats what matters, she adds. Indeed, for Mubeena, bodybuilding isnt about vanity or validation. Its about endurance. The quiet, persistent kind that begins when no ones watching. When I look back, she says, I dont see muscles or medals. I see a woman who didnt give up. Forget the first few days or weeks. Keep training, regardless of how you feel. Soon, it wont tire you. Instead, it will give you an abundance of energy, mental clarity. I used to have breathing issues when I was young. Consistently training has improved my breathing. Now, I dont even need an inhaler. My body feels strong and my head is calm, despite the storms around me. Mubeenas advice to those who think going to the gym is tiring...

IPS officer suicide: IAS wife accuses Haryana DGP, Rohtak SP of harassment, abetment
Haryana cop suicide: Wife alleges 'systematic persecution' by high-ranking officials
CHANDIGARH: A day after Haryana Police officer Y Puran Kumar allegedly shot himself dead here, his bureaucrat wife on Wednesday claimed that his death was the result of systematic persecution by high-ranking officers. Amneet P Kumar filed a complaint and requested that the Chandigarh Police register an FIR against a senior police officer of Rohtak and a top-ranking official under section 108 (abetment of suicide) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and sections of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. She also demanded their immediate arrest. The officers could not be contacted despite repeated attempts. Amneet, a senior bureaucrat, rushed back from Japan, where she was part of a Haryana government delegation led by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. Y Puran Kumar (52), a 2001-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, was found dead in his Chandigarh residence on Tuesday. His body, with a gunshot wound, was found in a room in the basement of the Sector 11 house. Sources said in his alleged eight-page typed and signed suicide note, Kumar spoke about continued blatant caste based discrimination, targeted mental harassment, public humiliation by some senior Haryana officers for the past five years, which, he said, were unbearable. (I) submit this complaint for the registration of an FIR... regarding the harassment and abetment caused by the said persons to the extent of resulting in the death of my husband, Amneet said in her complaint. She said that her husband, who came from the Scheduled Caste community, was an officer of unimpeachable integrity and extraordinary public spirit, and was found dead by gunshot at their home. Known for his interventions in matters related to the rights of officers, seniority and other issues, Puran Kumar was recently posted as the Inspector General of the Police Training Centre (PTC) in Rohtak's Sunaria. He was earlier posted as the Rohtak Range IG and was recently transferred to Sunaria. Amneet alleged, While official narrative suggests suicide, my soul cries for justice as a wife witnessing years of systematic humiliation, harassment, and persecution inflicted upon my husband by senior officials. That my husband's pain was not hidden and is explanatory from the numerous complaints filed by him, which he has referred to in his suicide note, endured caste-based discrimination, she said in her complaint. She alleged that her husband had reasonably learnt and intimated to her that a conspiracy was being hatched at the direction of a top-ranking official, and he would be falsely implicated in a frivolous and mischievous complaint by fabricating false evidence. A liquor contractor had lodged a complaint against a head constable, Sushil Kumar, in Rohtak, alleging that he had sought a bribe from him in Puran Kumar's name. The head constable had been arrested on Monday in the matter. She alleged, ... my husband was being implicated in the said case by fabricating the evidence against him, which pushed him to his final anguish. Regarding this case, he had contacted the top-ranking officer, but at that time, the officer had hushed up the conversation. She claimed that her husband then called a senior police officer, but he intentionally didn't answer his call. The eight-page suicide note, a document of a broken spirit, lays bare these truths and names of numerous officers whose relentless actions pushed him to the edge, she stated in her complaint. For the harassment meted out to my husband, he used to inform me about the same, it is impossible for me to find the words for what my children and I have lost-a husband, a father, a man whose only crime was honesty in service, she said. She said, further to the foregoing, her husband repeatedly invoked the protection of the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, after being subjected to caste-based slurs, exclusion from places of worship on police premises, caste based discrimination, targeted mental harassment, public humiliation and atrocities by senior officers. I further want to bring to your notice that it is settled law that continuous acts of harassment, humiliation and defamation can constitute abetment. The totality of circumstances must be examined, not just proximate incidents. Administrative persecution can drive a person to suicide, she claimed in her complaint. This is not a case of ordinary suicide but a direct result of systematic persecution of my husband officer from the SC community by powerful and high-ranking officers who have used their positions to mentally torture him, ultimately driving him to such an extent that he was left with no other option but to take his life, she said in her complaint. She said when she reached home, she found another copy of the suicide note in a laptop bag, which she had handed over to the Chandigarh Police along with the laptop. Meanwhile, a Chandigarh police statement late Wednesday evening said that in the eported suicide case of Y Puran Kumar, some CCTV cameras were analysed by the team. The request was moved to the Director of Health Services, Chandigarh, for the constitution of a medical board with a forensic expert for postmortem. Further, additional rooms in the residence (in Sector 11), which were inaccessible yesterday and were sealed by the CFSL, Sector 36, Chandigarh, wherein another copy for Will and a final note were recovered, the police statement said. Some electronic items were also seized from the residence, the police statement said. A complaint has been received by Sector 11 SHO, Chandigarh, from Amneet P Kumar in the matter. Further investigation is underway, it said. Some senior Haryana bureaucrats, including Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, met Amneet Kumar after she arrived here and offered their condolences.

KOCHI: Coming down heavily on the central government for its stand that there would be no loan waiver for the Wayanad landslide victims, the Kerala High Court on Wednesday orally observed that the Centre has failed the people of Kerala. Enough is enough. We don't need the central governments charity. This is just bureaucratic babble. Its not about whether the central government can act, but whether they are willing to act. If you are unwilling to act, we (the Bench) dare to say it. Who are you trying to fool? remarked the court. In its affidavit, the central government stated that there is no provision for granting loan waivers in cases of natural disasters. A Division Bench comprising Justice A.K. Jayasankaran Nambiar and Justice Jobin Sebastian suo motu impleaded 12 banks in the case, including the State Bank of India, and directed that any recovery action initiated by these banks against the Wayanad landslide victims shall be kept in abeyance until the final disposal of the writ petition. The court also took note of newspaper reports stating that the central government had approved Rs 707 crore for Gujarat and Assam, which were affected by floods and landslides in 2024. One could understand if the Union Executive did not have the funds. Let us hope we dont reach that stage where the Union of India is helpless and in penury, unable to assist any particular State, the court observed. The newspaper report stated that a High-Level Committee had approved Rs 707.97 crore of additional central assistance to the states of Assam and Gujarat, which were affected by floods and landslides during 2024. Neither these floods nor the landslides were classified as severe, and yet Rs 707 crore was allocated to them. It doesnt end there. The same committee also approved Rs 903.67 crore to Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan under the NDRF for the expansion and modernisation of fire services. If they have the courage, let them say they are not willing to help. But at the very least, the people should know that in times like this, the Union Government has failed the people at least of this State. This is deeply disturbing, the Bench observed. During the hearing, the counsel for the central government submitted that the Ministry of Home Affairs is limited in its involvement with the commercial transactions of banks, as these are regulated by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines. In response, the court asked: The Union of India has limitations because of an RBI circular? In relation to the Union of India, what is the Reserve Bank? Affidavits filed by bureaucrats often fail to grasp the legal significance of what transpires within Constitutional institutions. We have made it very clearthis is not a case where the Union is powerless to act; it is a matter of whether the Union is willing to act. Through this affidavit, you have again demonstrated that by hiding behind the argument of powerlessness, you are essentially saying that you choose not to act. Why is that being done? The affidavit states that you cannot do this. But that simply reflects an unwillingness to act on the part of the Union of India. If there is an unwillingness to act, then have the courage to say sodont hide behind a supposed lack of power. Anyone who reads the Constitution should be able to see this clearly. Who are you trying to fool? The Bench further observed: Our sense of Constitutional morality requires us to respect the principle of separation of powers, and therefore, we will not issue directions to the Union Government. That is not due to any lack of authority, but because of our magnanimityas a Constitutional body and integral part of the State that respects the Constitution. Enough is enough. We do not need the Unions charity. The court further directed the banks to file affidavits explaining whether they are willing to waive, either wholly or partially, the loans availed by the landslide victims in Wayanad. If they are not willing to do so, the banks must provide a justification with reference to the terms of the loan agreements for seeking repaymentalong with interestduring the pendency of these proceedings. The court noted that, exasperating though the situation may be, its commitment to constitutional morality requires respect for the principle of separation of powers as envisaged under the Constitution. Therefore, it must defer to the Union Governments decisions in matters of economic policy. We therefore refrain from issuing any directions to the Union Government regarding how it should exercise its discretion. However, as an integral part of the 'State' under the Constitution, and as a guardian of the fundamental rights of the people, we cannot remain mute spectators to the Shylockian methods being employed by the concerned banks to recover the loans they have advanced, the Bench observed.
