A fresh language row has erupted at a National Commission for Women workshop for women legislators in Haryana, with eight Kerala MLAs walking out alleging that the sessions were conducted almost entirely in Hindi.

Kerala banks hit record credit highs
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 10 (IANS) Kerala's banking sector has recorded strong growth, with credit to agriculture and MSMEs touching record levels even as total deposits crossed Rs 10.84 lakh crore, the State Level Bankers Committee (SLBC) said. The banking sectors performance was reviewed at the SLBC meeting for the June 2026 quarter held here. Total deposits with banks in Kerala stood at Rs 10,84,241 crore at the end of March 2026. This marked an annual growth of 13 per cent. Total advances rose 11 per cent to Rs 7,81,043 crore, while the credit-deposit ratio stood at 72.04 per cent. This was well above the 60 per cent benchmark prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India. Agricultural credit emerged as one of the major drivers of growth. It touched an all-time high of Rs 1,76,142 crore, representing a 16 per cent annual increase. Credit to micro, small, and medium enterprises also reached a record Rs 1,08,948 crore. This grew 13 per cent during the year. The figures indicate a significant expansion of institutional credit to two key segments of Keralas economy. NRI deposits provided another major boost to the banking sector. They stood at Rs 3,35,440 crore, registering a 17 per cent annual growth. The SLBC said there had been significant improvement in both credit and deposit mobilisation compared with the previous financial year. The committee stressed the need to further increase credit flow to priority sectors. Agriculture, MSMEs, self-employment ventures, and other productive sectors will receive particular attention. They also called for greater banking support to emerging sectors such as healthcare, advanced manufacturing and renewable energy. The meeting was told that Invest Kerala Desks are being established at various locations to help attract and facilitate high-value investments in the state. Implementation of crop insurance was also reviewed. The committee stressed the need to widen coverage and ensure greater participation by eligible beneficiaries. The performance of banks under schemes including PM Surya Ghar, PMFME, Agriculture Infrastructure Fund, PMEGP, and PM Vishwakarma was also reviewed. The SLBC said it would continue to coordinate with the state government, the RBI, NABARD and member banks to improve institutional credit delivery and support Keralas development priorities.

SIT to question all 16 Kerala PSC members in Planning Board appointment probe
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 10 (IANS) The Special Investigation Team probing the controversial appointment to the Kerala State Planning Board is moving into the next phase of its investigation. The SIT has decided to question all 16 members of the Kerala Public Service Commission. The questioning is expected to begin next week, and PSC Chairman M.R. Baiju will be the last to be questioned, according to sources. The move comes after the SIT completed the first round of its probe, where the investigation had focused on officials connected with the appointment process. Two PSC officials have already been found to have allegedly erred in the process. The SIT has sought action against them in connection with the case registered over the appointment. The decision to question all the members of the PSC marks a wider phase of the investigation. The SIT is expected to examine the role of the commission as a whole in the selection and appointment process. It will also seek to ascertain how the decision was taken and whether the prescribed procedures were followed. The PSC's Planning Board appointments had triggered questions over the manner in which the candidate was selected through the PSC process. A case was registered following allegations of irregularities in the appointment. The SIT had subsequently examined officials and documents relating to the selection. The first round of questioning helped the investigators identify alleged lapses on the part of two PSC officials. The questioning of the 16 commission members is expected to help the SIT establish whether the alleged lapses were confined to officials involved in the process or whether there were wider issues in the decision-making process. The Chairman has been kept for the final round of questioning. The move is significant as the investigation now reaches the highest level of the commission. The SIT is also expected to examine the statements of the commission members against the documents and records already collected. The latest move indicates that the SIT is now seeking to establish the complete chain of events behind the appointment.

India, Russia hold talks on joint production of civil passenger planes
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) Indias Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu on Thursday held discussions with Russia's Industry and Trade Minister Anton Alikhanov on joint manufacturing of civil passenger aircraft to meet Indias demand for regional air connectivity. With the immense potential of regional connectivity, there is a strong opportunity for India and Russia to take our relationship from buyer-seller to joint manufacturing and deeper industrial cooperation, Naidu said in a post on X. He further stated that IndiaRussia ties continue to grow, with aviation emerging as a key pillar of the strategic partnership. Public sector aerospace company Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) and Russias United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) previously signed an initial agreement for the licensed joint production and support of the Superjet (SJ-100) civil commuter aircraft in India, with localisation talks reportedly nearing completion. Discussions and proposed deals cover potential deliveries and arrangements for 105 regional turboprop aircraft to Indian operators, including Pinnacle Air, Air Kerala, and Sleek Aviation. Russia displayed its regional SJ-100, MC-21, and Il-114-300 aircraft at the Innoprom event here to target India's expanding regional connectivity needs. The growing aviation engagement comes as Russia seeks to deepen industrial cooperation with India beyond traditional defence platforms such as the MiG and Sukhoi fighter jets. The proposed aircraft deals indicate a possible expansion of India-Russia aerospace ties into civil aviation, regional connectivity and aircraft manufacturing. Innoprom India, being held from September 9 to 11 in New Delhi ahead of the BRICS summit, has brought together more than 120 Russian and Indian companies. Brazilian plane manufacturer Embraers global head of government relations, Jose Serrador Neto, also held a meeting with Naidu to discuss the companys Make in India plans and the growing opportunities for collaboration. The confidence of global OEMs in Indias growing aerospace ecosystem and reliance on Indian manufacturers as key suppliers for global aviation supply chains is encouraging, an official statement said.

CMRL-Exalogic case: Riyas' friend claims ED forced false statement against MLA
Digital Desk | Kozhikode, Sep 10 (IANS) A close friend of former Kerala minister and CPI(M) MLA P.A. Mohammed Riyas has alleged that the Enforcement Directorate forced him to give a false statement against the legislator in connection with the CMRL-Exalogic monthly payment case. Businessman Hasan Waris has told the ED Director in an affidavit that the statement he gave to the agency on August 18 was made under severe mental pressure and was not voluntary. He has sought permission to withdraw the statement, saying it has no legal validity. Waris alleged that ED officials prepared a statement implicating Riyas and forced him to sign it. He claimed that he was threatened with action against his 22-year-old daughter if he refused to make the statement. According to Waris, the officials told him that his daughter could be made an accused, arrested under non-bailable provisions and kept in jail for years. He also alleged that his request to use his mobile phone to contact his lawyer was rejected. Waris has denied receiving any financial assistance from Riyas or his relatives. He has also denied transferring money to anyone at Riyass direction. The ED, however, has maintained that it has evidence showing that money was transferred to Waris. The development comes after Riyas strongly rejected allegations attributed to the ED in its probe. In a social media post, he described the reports as absurdities, saying that if such claims were part of an ED report leaked to the media, they were deliberately fabricated to tarnish his reputation. Riyas also rejected reports that his wife, T. Veena, had admitted such allegations before the ED. He described that claim as an outright lie. Let those who enjoy feeding on the flesh of living human beings through such absurd information leaked in the name of an ED investigation continue their spectacle, Riyas said. He said he would fight the matter legally. The ED has alleged that Riyas received Rs 20.5 crore during 2024-25 while he was a minister and that the money was transferred to Dubai to establish a company. The agency has reportedly alleged that transactions were routed through the accounts of his associates. Riyas has denied the allegations and termed them politically motivated. The latest allegations by Waris could now put the focus on the circumstances in which his statement was recorded and its evidentiary value in the ongoing investigation. With the ED now handing over a 25-page statement directing the Kerala Police to register a case and the Satheesan government engaged in a hectic legal consultation on the way forward, for Riyas and his father-in-law, former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, the three-day extended state committee meeting beginning on Saturday could well be closely watched. Already the party politburo on late Wednesday has come out with a strong defence of Vijayan; it remains to be seen if the 300-strong extended state committee could well give the thumbs up to both Vijayan and Riyas.

CMRL-Exalogic case: Satheesan govt seeks legal opinion on Vigilance probe against Vijayan, others
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 10 (IANS) The Kerala government has decided to proceed cautiously on the Enforcement Directorates (ED) demand for a corruption case against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and others in the CMRL-Exalogic case, with a Vigilance quick verification likely before any FIR is registered. The move comes amid legal concerns over whether an FIR can be registered solely on the basis of the EDs letter to the State Police Chief. The government is currently engaged in elaborate legal discussions and expects a formal legal opinion before taking a final decision. The ED has sought action under the Prevention of Corruption Act against Vijayan and others based on its findings in the CMRL-Exalogic financial transactions. The agency has handed over a 25-page report, along with supporting documents, to State Police chief Ravada A. Chandrasekhar. The governments present thinking is that a preliminary verification by the Vigilance would establish whether the allegations in the ED report have sufficient factual and evidentiary basis. Only thereafter would the question of registering an FIR be considered. Legal circles have pointed out that there is no legal bar to registering an FIR if the material discloses a cognisable offence. However, the government is wary of the possibility of the move being challenged in court if an FIR is registered without an independent preliminary verification. A major issue is the evidentiary value of statements recorded by the ED under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The present ED recommendation is understood to rely significantly on the statement of P. Suresh Kumar, Chief Financial Officer of CMRL and an accused in the ED case. While statements recorded under the PMLA have evidentiary value in proceedings under that law, questions remain over whether the statement of an accused can by itself form the basis of a Vigilance case under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Independent corroborative evidence could therefore become crucial. The ED has also relied on the findings of the Interim Settlement Board in the CMRL-Exalogic matter. The Board has found that CMRL made payments to Exalogic Solutions, owned by T. Veena, on the consideration that she was the daughter of then Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The fact that the Boards findings have not so far been legally overturned is being viewed by legal experts as significant. CMRL top brass Sasidharan Kartha and others involved in the alleged payments could also come within the scope of any future Vigilance investigation. The government is also mindful of the Kerala High Courts earlier dismissal of Congress leader Mathew Kuzhalnadans plea seeking a Vigilance investigation into the CMRL-Exalogic transactions. The CPI(M) is preparing to challenge the ED allegations both politically and legally. The final decision on an FIR is expected after the government receives the Advocate Generals legal opinion. Meanwhile, the ED, according to sources, has sent notices to the officials of CMRL to appear before it on Monday.

Centre to roll out new law to protect farmers from fake seeds
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) The Centre is preparing to introduce a new Seed Act aimed at protecting the countrys farmers from the losses caused by fake and substandard seeds by incorporating more stringent punishment for culprits indulging in malpractices, according to an official statement issued on Wednesday. The proposed Seed Act is expected to provide for more stringent legal action against companies and traders involved in the sale of fake, adulterated or substandard seeds, including heavy penalties and imprisonment, it said. Before finalising the proposed legislation, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will hold a high-level consultation with senior leaders of major farmer organisations from across the country on Thursday at Krishi Bhawan in the national capital. The consultation, convened by the minister, is aimed at incorporating farmers ground-level suggestions and concerns directly into the draft seed legislation. The government intends to build a robust and effective regulatory framework to curb the activities of seed mafias and protect farmers from fraudulent and poor-quality seeds, the statement said. Poor-quality seeds can wipe out months of a farmers hard-earned income and years of effort and labour. The governments stated position is that the new law must ensure the highest standards of seed quality and a transparent, end-to-end traceability system, while also safeguarding farmers rights over traditional seeds. The consultation on Thursday will bring farmer representatives together from across the country. Senior leadership of the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, various factions of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU), the All India Kisan Coordination Committee (AIKCC), the Kisan Mahapanchayat, the Bharatiya Krishak Samaj, the Gaon Kisan Unnayan, and the Society for Independent Farmers Association (SIFA) will participate in the meeting. Ground-level farmer representatives from several states will also put forward their views before the Union Agriculture Minister. These include representatives of the Karnataka Raitha Sangha, the Telangana Raitha Sangha, Maharashtras Shetkari Organisation, Gujarats Khedut Samaj, the National Kisan Progressive Association from Rajasthan and Bihar, Tamil Nadus Vivasayigal Sangam, Jharkhands Pragatisheel Krishi Manch, and a farmers organisation from Kottayam in Kerala, among others. The consultation, being held ahead of the upcoming Parliament session, is expected to mark a significant step towards creating a stronger regulatory framework and protecting Indian agriculture from the persistent threat of fake and substandard seeds, the statement added.
