Suspected heroin recovered from Arambai Tenggols office in Manipur

GUWAHATI: Security forces recovered 15 grams of suspected heroin from an office of Meitei radical group Arambai Tenggol during a raid in Manipur. The recovery of the substance followed a clash between suspected Arambai Tenggol members and the members of the Pambei faction of the insurgent group United National Liberation Front (UNLF-P). It signed a ceasefire agreement with the Centre in November 2023. Taking it to X, Manipur police wrote that a group of 15-20 unknown persons suspected to be from Arambai Tenggol entered the residence of Irengbam Nandakumar Singh alias Tonsana (56) in Imphal on Saturday leading to a fight. The police said four UNLF-P members sustained blunt injuries caused by sticks while reports of firing of a few rounds from both sides were also received. Immediately, teams of security forces rushed to the spot. The four UNLF-P cadres were detained and taken to a hospital for treatment. They are stable, the police said. On the same day, security forces conducted a raid at the office of Arambai Tenggol Unit-17 in Khurai area and recovered incriminating articles including approximately 15 grams of a substance suspected to be heroin, the police added. According to reports, no member of the radical group has been arrested so far. The Arambai Tenggol was at the forefront during clashes with Kuki-Zo village volunteers. The group had voluntarily laid down 246 weapons along with ammunition on February 27 responding to Governor Ajay Kumar Bhallas call. Meanwhile, Manipur police registered six FIRs against WhatsApp groups and social media channels for spreading fake and inflammatory news, thereby creating and promoting fear, panic and public alarm within Churachandpur district. In a statement, the police warned that legal action would be taken up also against other channels which were spreading fake or inflammatory news.

Religion-based reservation not acceptable, goes against constitution: RSS general secretary Hosabale

BENGALURU: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological parent of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has reiterated its opposition to religion-based reservations, stating that such provisions are not supported by the Indian Constitution. Religion-based reservation is not possible. Reservation is only applicable to backward classes within a religion, as seen in Karnataka, Maharashtra, and several other states. The Constitution, authored by Babasaheb Ambedkar, does not accept religion-based reservations. Any state attempting to implement such a provision is going against the founding principles of our Constitution, RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said on Sunday. He was addressing the media on the concluding day of the three-day Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha. Hosabale's remarks came in response to a query about the Karnataka Congress government's recent approval of a Bill granting a 4% reservation for Muslims under the 2B category. He pointed out that similar efforts by Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra had previously been struck down by the respective High Courts. The opposition BJP in Karnataka had strongly protested against the Bill, both inside and outside the Assembly. The party had also approached the Raj Bhavan, urging the Governor not to approve the legislation and had threatened to challenge it in court if necessary.Hosabale lauded the Narendra Modi-led NDA government, particularly for its handling of national security, foreign affairs, and the ongoing situation in Manipur. There is no situation that requires the RSS to advise the government, as it is already moving in the right direction. In Manipur, actions like imposing President's Rule and disarming people have given hope. We are satisfied with the government's decision, which has been made based on its own assessment. The Sangh does not provide daily guidance to the government, as no such mechanism exists with us, he clarified. Responding to demands from Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal to remove Mughal emperor Aurangzebs tomb in Maharashtra, Hosabale criticized the glorification of Aurangzeb, who, he claimed, was against Indian ethos. It is unfortunate that Aurangzeb has been idolized, while Dara Shikoh, Aurangzeb's brother, who embraced Indias cultural ethos, has not been given similar recognition, he remarked, indirectly advocating for Shikohs ideals to be upheld. He also welcomed the Centres decision to set up a Joint Parliamentary Committee on Waqf properties to introduce the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2024. In Karnataka, numerous farmers, irrespective of their political or ideological leanings, have raised concerns about their lands being marked as Waqf properties. Interestingly, even a five-star hotelWindsor Manor in Bengaluruwas classified as a Waqf property, he pointed out. On the delimitation of Lok Sabha and Assembly constituencies, Hosabale clarified that the RSS would not comment on the matter as no formal proposal had been presented. Union Home Minister Amit Shah himself has stated that there is no proposal at this stage, he added. Hosabale also outlined preparations for the RSS centenary year, which will commence on Vijayadashami in 2025 and continue until January 2026. Celebrations and programs will be organized at over 100 locations nationwide, with a focus on rededicating the RSS to nation-building.

This is a fight for our rights and future: Tamil Nadu CM Stalin on delimitation

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin, who hosted leaders from six states in Chennai on Saturday for the first meeting of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) to discuss the strategies to prevent a population-based delimitation of Lok Sabha seats, termed it an important day in the history of Indian democracy as leaders of many parties and movements have come together realising the biggest test and danger facing the countrys federalism. In his introductory address after welcoming all the leaders, Stalin alleged that the present union government has failed to curb the violence going on in Manipur for two years because the state lacked the political strength to attract the nations attention. Therefore, reduction in the number of parliamentary seats or the reduction in our representation would invariably lead to a reduction in our political strength. It is not just about numbers it is about our power, our rights, and the interests of our future, he said. Listing out the harms that a population-based delimitation would bring, Stalin contended that it may lead to states struggling to get due funds from the centre, unwanted laws getting passed, decisions which will affect our people will be taken by those who dont understand us, the culture, identity and progress of states will be hit. Social justice will be crippled, SC/ST communities will get affected, he added. This struggle is not against the delimitation but for demanding fair delimitation, he stressed. Karnataka Deputy CM D K Shivakumar said that the JAC is part of the fight to reclaim India as a union of equal states Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking in Telangana in 2023, said if delimitation happened on the basis of population, southern states would lose about 100 seats and also asked Whether the southern states will accept it. Recalling this, Stalin alleged that Modi has accepted that the number of seats would go down. The CM proposed that an expert committee can take forward the political and legal fight. Telangana CM Revanth Reddy wanted the number of MP seats in southern states to be hiked from 24% to 33%. Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan said, Reports indicate that the BJP-led union government is going ahead with the delimitation process without any consultation. The move is not driven by any constitutional principle or any democratic imperative but by narrow political interest. Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, who spoke in the meeting, said, Out of 543 seats, Punjab has 13 seats, which amounts to 2.39%. If number of seats is increased to 850, Punjab may get additional 5 seats. But 18 seats would mean only 2.11% (LS seats in Parliament) . D K Shivakumar, Karnataka deputy CM, said that it was not the battle of north and south. It is a fight to reclaim India as a union of equal states, he said. If India truly has to become a superpower by 2047, there should be cooperative federalism not coercive federalism, BRS leader K T Ramo Rao said. If south India contributes 36% to Indias GDP, can the south have 36% representation in Parliament? Why cant fiscal contribution, development, progress be the criteria. Why only population, he asked.
