Theatre legend Ratan Thiyam passes away at 77
India mourns Ratan Thiyam, the celebrated theatre director. He died at the age of 77 in Imphal. Thiyam was known for blending Manipuri tradition with modern theatre. He received the Padma Shri and other awards. Political leaders and artists are paying tribute. They remember his contribution to Indian theatre and Manipuri culture. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations.
Ratan Thiyam, guru and theatre modernist, leaves the stage
I was sittingin the dark and towards the back of the Kamani auditorium, waiting for Ratan to arrive so that I could discuss somearrangements with him regarding the Bharat Rang Mahotsavs opening performance that evening of his latest play The King of the Dark Chamber/Raja (2012). There was pin drop silence. Suddenly the auditorium door swung open and Ratan strode in. His entire troupe sprung to their feet and then en masse , all of them genuflected themselves in front of him, in total obeisance. He gave some instructions in Manipuri and soundlessly they tiptoed out totake their positions on the stage for a runthrough. Never before had I experienced such total and unconditional discipline on the part of actors anywhere in the world! Not even in Alkazis heyday when he was looked upon as an unrelenting and uncompromising taskmaster! This kind of complete physical and mental subservience to ones Guru, especially in todays world where questioning was encouraged, not stifled. Was this a medieval mindset playing out, unchanged and ingrained in the Manipuri psyche for centuries, a part and parcel of their martial background? On reflection, I began to believe that such compliance could only be possible today if the leader wassteely and single minded in his mission, unforgiving and unrelenting till the final goal was achieved. And Ratan was thattotally committeda perfectionist. When We Dead Awaken, directed by Ratan Thiuyam, Chorus Repertory Company, Imphal Ratan Thiyam, 77, a luminary of Indian theatre, passed away in Imphal early Wednesday after prolonged illness. He was more than a theatre director. He was a young man with a mission from the day he stepped into the National School of Drama with his eyes eagerly trained on his Guru, Ebrahim Alkazi, listening intently, with every fiber of his being, alert to what his Guru was trying to impartthe larger significance of making theatre , its intention.the seminal role theatre had to play in society through the refinement of the audiences aesthetic sensibilities..which could only be possible by creating deeply relevant and meaningful art. With Alkazis ideas ringing in his ears, Ratan returned to Manipur because that was his base, that was the culture he knew and wished to build onand explore. Setting up the Chorus Repertory Company, Ratan graduallybegan to weave his understanding of the Natya Shastras, Manipurs Meitei performing traditions and Thang-Ta,alongwith his understanding of modernity as it was evolving in the Indian context into a series ofoutstanding productions. Creating new texts based onmyths, using trained Manipuri actors and martial artists Ratanas theatre director orchestrated music, movement, lighting and stagecraft into powerful choreographed images of compelling beauty and majestic power in productions like the Sanskrit classic Urubhangam and Chakravyuh (1984) and Ritusamharam , while his modern texts included AndhaYug and Antigone (1986). When Nissar Allana invited Ratan to direct an Ibsen playfor the Delhi Ibsen Festival, Ratan took up the unusual challenge ofdoing Ibsens When We Dead Awaken (2008) and recreatingit into a lyrical and haunting production, practically surrealist in its imagery, several moments of whichremain imprinted in the minds eye. Ratan Thiyam came at a time when we were searching for ourcultural roots after a period of colonisation. He not only unearthed latent folk performing traditions of Manipur but was able toresurrect and recreate them, crafting a new modernity in a performance language that spoke to audiences not only across India, but also enriching audiences across the world. An incident bears repetition. After one of Ratans performances at the Bharat Rang Mahotsav in Delhi, Mr E. Alkazi was invited to present a bouquet of flowers to the director of the play. Alkazi walked onto the stage,and before he could offer the flowers to Ratan, Ratan genuflected in front of his Guru. The audience all stood up, applauding. Alkazi motioned them to be silent and said, One of the most rewarding moments in a teachers life is to be outstripped by his students. Amal Allana is a theatre director and former Chairperson of the NSD. She has authored a biography on her father, Ebrahim Alkazi: Holding Time Captive.

As Assam eviction drive continues, Naga groups worry over influx of displaced people into Nagaland
GUWAHATI: The eviction drives in Assam have left the Nagas worried about a possible influx of the displaced people into Nagaland. The Konyak Students Union, apex student body of Konyak Nagas in Nagaland, on July 23, directed its federating units, especially in Tizit and Naginimora areas, to deploy 100 volunteers daily to every entry point of Mon district. The volunteers are tasked with checking all non-locals entering Mon district to ensure they are carrying valid ILP (Inner Line Permit) and proper documentation, the students organisation said in a notification. An offshoot of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation of 1873, the ILP is an official document that an Indian citizen is required to carry while visiting the protected states of Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh for a short period. The Konyak students body said anyone found without valid documents must be sent back immediately from Mon district.It appealed to the district administration to suspend the issuance of the ILP for a minimum period of one month, to allow proper scrutiny and prevent unchecked influx of people into Mon. Strict compliance from all units and authorities concerned is expected in the interest of safeguarding our indigenous rights and security, the statement added. Two days ago, the Western Sumi Students Union in Nagaland had expressed similar concerns. alleged illegal immigrants residing in Naga-inhabited areas along the Assam-Nagaland border are in close proximity to villages within Nagaland. This situation further heightens the risks of conflict, displacement and demographic pressure on our vulnerable border communities, the organisation had warned in a statement. Currently, the Assam government is conducting land survey operations at Uriamghat, bordering Nagaland, in Golaghat district ahead of a proposed eviction drive. In the wake of the survey, many illegal settlers left the place. In recent times, Assams BJP-led government carried out eviction drives in three districts that affected thousands of people, mostly Bengali-speaking Muslims. One person was killed in firing while several others, including police and forest department personnel, were injured in western Assams Goalpara district recently when an eviction drive turned violent. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the government had reclaimed 1.29 lakh bighas of land from encroachers and this effort would continue.

Manipur Congress seeks clarity from Governor on Assembly status
Party questions constitutional validity of Assembly since February 11 amid Presidents Rule
Is Manipur Assembly alive, dead or constitutionally deemed to be dissolved?: Congress to governor
GUWAHATI: The Congress in Manipur on Tuesday petitioned Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, urging him to clarify the status of the 12th state Assembly since the imposition of Presidents rule on February 13. The ethnic violence-hit state was placed under Presidents rule days after the Chief Minister N Biren Singh had stepped down. In a memorandum submitted to the governor, the Congress asked if the Assembly is alive, dead or constitutionally deemed to be dissolved from the midnight of February 11. the Honble Governor fixed the date of the 7th Assembly session for 10.02.2025 in order to comply with the 6-month timeline prescribed under Article 174 (1) of the Constitution of India between two sittings of the House, the Congress said in the memorandum. Since the last sitting of the House was held on 12.08.2024, therefore, as per Article 174 (1) of the Constitution, the next sitting ought to have been mandatorily held on or before 11.02.2025, the party further stated. However, the Congress added, there were two events on February 9 Singh resigned as the chief minister and the governor declared his January 24, 2025 order summoning a sitting of the Assembly on February 11 as null and void. President's rule failed to maintain peace in Manipur: Congress Advocate and Congress spokesperson Ningombam Bupenda Meitei, who was part of the four-member delegation from Congress legal cell that submitted the memorandum at the Raj Bhavan, argued that when Singh quit as the chief minister, the Assembly was not in suspension, and therefore, the mandatory rigours of Article 174 of the Constitution of India would squarely apply in Manipur. The Congress alleged that the governors February 9 order attempted to circumvent the rigours of Article 174 (1), further delaying the sitting of the House beyond the constitutionally permitted mandate. The party maintained that the Assembly ought to have conducted a sitting on or before February 11. Even a day beyond the constitutionally permissible limit would amount to a direct violation of Article 174 of the Constitution of India, the Congress said. Is it to be concluded that any actions or orders of the Honble Governor of Manipur, in future, to summon the next Assembly sittingwould tantamount to a violation of the Article 174(1), and, hence, the Honble Governor would be constitutionally barred from summoning a sitting of the remaining term of the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly? the Congress asked.
Naga organisations in Manipur urge PM, HM to halt fencing of India-Myanmar border
IMPHAL: Several Naga organisations in Manipur on Tuesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to immediately halt the fencing of India-Myanmar border and to restore the Free Movement Regime (FMR) within 20 days. The Naga organisations, which included the United Naga Council, All Naga Students' Association, Manipur, Naga Women's Union and Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights South submitted the petition through Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla. The Raj Bhavan in an official statement said that representatives of UNC, ANSAM, NWU, and NPMHR-S met Governor Bhalla on Tuesday. During the meeting, the representatives expressed concerns over ongoing developments impacting the hill areas, particularly in relation to the Free Movement Regime and border fencing, it said, adding that the governor acknowledged the grievances raised and said that the matter would be looked into. Expressing strong resentment against abrogation of the Free Movement Regime (FMR) and the accelerated ongoing border fencing construction along the India-Myanmar border, the Naga civil organisations said several forms of protests, including picketing of government offices in Naga inhabited areas have been undertaken along with protest rallies in Naga inhabited hill districts. Serving a twenty-day ultimatum, the Naga organisations said he government of India must revoke the notification/order related to the abrogation of the Free Movement Regime (FMR) immediately. The government's revised border guidelines issued in December 2024 limit cross-border movement under FMR to just 10 km from the border and impose a order pass system. Under the earlier FMR, every member of the hill tribes, who is either a citizen of India or a citizen of Myanmar and who is resident of any area within 16 km on either side of the border, can cross over on production of a border pass with one year's validity and can stay up to two weeks per visit.
Durand Cup kicks off amid uncertainty in Indian football
KOLKATA: The 134th edition of Durand Cup kicks off here Wednesday with East Bengal facing South United FC amid a cloud of uncertainty surrounding the upcoming top-tier domestic football season. The pre-season action will begin against the backdrop of a stalemate between the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) over the renewal of the Master Rights Agreement (MRA), which governs the operations and commercial structure of the top-tier Indian Super League. The MRA expires on December 8, and with no breakthrough yet, the very future of India's top-tier league remains in limbo ahead of its scheduled September start. In the midst of this impasse, the Durand Cup has retained its significance as the traditional curtain-raiser for Indian football. The competition continues to draw a full roster of 24 teams despite only six ISL clubs confirming participation this year. East Bengal's big rebuild The spotlight on Wednesday will be firmly on East Bengal, who have been among the busiest clubs in the transfer market. Determined to turn around their fortunes after a forgettable 2024-25 campaign, where they finished ninth in the ISL, made an early Super Cup exit, and bowed out of the AFC Challenge League in the quarterfinals, the Kolkata giants have rung in major changes under Spanish coach Oscar Bruzon. Key signings include Brazilian midfielder Miguel Figueira, Argentine defender Kevin Sibille, and Palestinian international Mohammed Rashid. They join full-back Jay Gupta, who completed a multi-year move from FC Goa after a successful stint with the Gaurs. Bruzon has released foreign stars Hijazi Maher, Mahdi Talal, and Messi Bouli in a bid to freshen up his squad and end the club's long trophy drought. East Bengal's fans will hope the new recruits can help reclaim the Durand Cup, which they last won 21 years back in 2004. With 16 titles, they remain the second-most successful club in the competition's storied history behind arch-rivals Mohun Bagan, who clinched their record 17th crown in 2023 by defeating East Bengal 1-0 in a nail-biting final. Reigning ISL champions Mohun Bagan have made headlines with the signing of Abhishek Singh Tekcham from Punjab FC for a reported fee close to Rs 2 crore, as they look to shore up their wing-back options following Ashique Kuruniyan's departure. Jamshedpur FC, meanwhile, have bolsterd their defence by roping in Jestin George, whose breakout season with Gokulam Kerala included a historic Durand Cup win in 2019. Defending champions, NorthEast United FC are drawn in Group E and will be boosted by the signing of Spanish winger Jairo Samperio, an Europa League winner. They have also acquired the services of Lalbiakdika Vanlalvunga, Lalrinzuala Lalbiknia and Chema Nez for the upcoming season. Having won their first club trophy in the previous edition, Juan Pedro Benali's side will be raring to go in front of their home fans. Bigger stakes This year's Durand Cup retains its 24-team format, split into six groups across five states -- West Bengal, Jharkhand, Assam, Meghalaya, and, for the first time, Manipur. Kolkata alone will host two groups, with 15 matches, including a quarter-final, a semi-final, and the grand finale at Salt Lake Stadium on August 23. The competition also continues its tradition of welcoming foreign clubs, with teams from Malaysia (Malaysian Armed Forces) and Nepal (Tribhuvan Army FC) adding an international flavour. For Kolkata fans, local giants East Bengal, Mohun Bagan, Mohammedan Sporting and newly promoted I-League outfit Diamond Harbour FC will ensure no shortage of fierce rivalries. Significantly, the prize purse has tripled to Rs 3 crore this year. Standout individual performers will be rewarded with three SUVs up for grabs alongside team prizes for semi-finalists, quarter-finalists and best performers. Pathway for youngsters Since its post-pandemic revival in 2021, the Durand Cup has offered clubs a crucial pre-season testing ground, helping managers fine-tune tactics and assess new signings. For youngsters and lesser-known domestic players, it remains one of the best platforms to grab the spotlight before the ISL and I-League seasons. The format will see six group winners and the two best second-placed teams progress to the knockout rounds. ISL teams have dominated the competition since their inclusion, winning every edition since 2021 and will again start as favourites, despite fewer top-tier clubs joining the fray this time. Groups At A Glance Group A (Kolkata): East Bengal FC, South United FC, Indian Air Force FT and Namdhari FC. Group B (Kolkata): Mohun Bagan, Mohammedan SC, Diamond Harbour FC and BSF FT. Group C (Jamshedpur): Jamshedpur FC, Indian Army FT, 1 Ladakh FC and Tribhuvan Army FC. Group D (Kokrajhar): Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC, Punjab FC, ITBP FT and Bodoland FC. Group E (Shillong): NorthEast United FC, Rangdajied United FC, Shillong Lajong FC and Malaysian Armed Forces. Group F (Imphal): Real Kashmir FC, TRAU FC, NEROCA FC and Indian Navy FT.

Opposition MPs stages protest in Paliament against EC's voter roll revision in Bihar
NEW DELHI: Opposition MPs, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, on Tuesday staged a protest in Parliament House complex against the Election Commission's voter roll revision in Bihar. The opposition MPs gathered on the steps of Makar Dwar of Parliament and raised slogans against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar , alleging that it amounts to stealing elections. They also held placards like 'SIR: Stealing Indian Rights' and 'SIR: Subverting Indian Republic'.

The leaders also resolved to highlight rising atrocities against Dalits, Adivasis, backward classes and women. These are peoples issues and must be given utmost priority, Venugopal said. Sources added that the opposition would also press for Rahul Gandhi to be allowed to speak in the House and raise the issue of the SIR process in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

16-hour discussion in LS on Operation Sindoor next week
NEW DELHI: Even as the first day of the Monsoon session of Parliament witnessed ruckus and adjournments, the government agreed to hold a 16-hour discussion on the recent Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha next week. The decision was taken at the meeting of the Business Advisory Committee. Though the Opposition initially objected to the timing of the debate, the Congress said that it will abide by the proposal of the government. While the governments floor managers pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be abroad from June 23-26, the Opposition insisted that the discussion should start immediately followed by the PMs reply. Later in the evening, at a meeting of floor leaders, the Congress decided that it will wait until Modis return for the discussions on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor to take place. We will ask the government to hold the discussions as soon as the PM returns from the trip, said a leader who attended the meeting. The leader told this paper that the party will hold a meeting with the floor leaders of INDIA bloc leaders on Tuesday and will take a final call. At the BAC meeting, Opposition members protested that the governments agenda for the week did not mention their demand on Operation Sindoor. Some Opposition members also called for a debate on the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and the situation in Manipur. Earlier, both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day amid noisy protests by the Opposition, which demanded a discussion on Operation Sindoor and other issues. The Lok Sabha saw four adjournments. Defence minister Rajnath Singh assured the opposition MPs that the government is ready to have a long discussion on all issues the Speaker agrees to. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju appealed to the Opposition to place their demand during the BAC meeting. The government is ready to reply to all the issues that the Speaker agrees to at the BAC meeting. But to raise slogans and not let the House function on the first day of the Monsoon session is unacceptable, Rijiju said in the House. The Rajya Sabha, too, saw continuous disruptions despite Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhars request to the Opposition to allow the House to function. The government is ready for a discussion. I will meet the leaders and settle for a discussion. And I will ensure full-fledged discussion for as much time as you want, said Dhankhar. 3-day debate, not under specific rule The special discussion on Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor and Pahalgam terror attack will be spread over three days and will not be under any specific rule, said a source who attended the BAC meeting

PM must be present when 'Pahalgam-Op Sindoor-Trump' discussed in Parliament: Congress
NEW DELHI: With the Monsoon session of Parliament starting on Monday, the Congress said Prime Minister Narendra Modi owes it to the country to be present when the issue of 'Pahalgam-Operation Sindoor-President Trump' is finally taken up for discussion. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh also took a swipe at Modi over his foreign visit this week, saying 48 hours later, the Super Premium Frequent Flyer will start yet another foreign visit and the people of Manipur will have more cause for disappointment. Prime Minister Modi will pay a four-day visit to the United Kingdom and the Maldives from Wednesday to shore up overall bilateral ties and formalise the landmark India-UK free trade deal. In a post on X before the start of the session, Ramesh said, Very shortly the nattily dressed Prime Minister will give his usual Desh ke Naam Sandesh through the media outside the Parliament Building before the commencement of the Monsoon Session of Parliament. This will be full of his usual platitudes and hypocrisy. Prime Minister Modi is very, very, very rarely present in Parliament. He speaks once a year on the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address. But this time he owes it to the country to be present when the issue of Pahalgam-Operation Sindoor-President Trump is finally taken up for discussion, Ramesh said. All-party meet: Opposition seeks debate on Bihar SIR, Pahalgam, Trump's claims; 'open to discussion,' says Rijiju The Government on Sunday had indicated its willingness to discuss in Parliament Operation Sindoor, a key opposition demand at an all-party meeting on eve of the Monsoon session, even as the INDIA bloc insisted that Prime Minister Modi should respond on the matter as well as on the US President's 'ceasefire' claims and SIR in Bihar. The Congress on Sunday had demanded that Prime Minister Modi himself should respond to debates in Parliament's Monsoon session on various issues, including Pahalgam attack, US President Donald Trump's ceasefire claims and Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. During the Monsoon session of Parliament, the Opposition is set to corner the government on several issues. Leaders of the INDIA bloc also held a meeting to chalk out their joint strategy and present a united face in attacking the government on intelligence failures that resulted in the Pahalgam attack, Trump's ceasefire claims, besides on SIR in Bihar.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: It was a homecoming, rich with memories and inspiration.

About 14 students from our batch joined the armed forces, said M A Anil Kumar, another 1985 alumnus and former regional manager of the Kerala State Co-operative Agricultural Rural Development Bank. During their talk, they recalled how visits from serving officers during school days deeply inspired them to join the forces, he added. Lieutenant General Vijay Nair, a native of Palakkad, now leads the Indian Armys Northern Command based in Udhampur. A key figure in Operation Sindoor, he has commanded anti-terrorist operations in Kashmir and served in Sri Lanka as part of the Indian Peace Keeping Force. He also headed the UN Multinational Force in Congo. Major General Vinod Mathew, from Thodupuzha, is the General Officer Commanding of the Karnataka-Kerala Sub-Area. He led rescue operations during the Chooralmala-Mundakai landslide in Wayanad and has fought insurgencies in Assam and Manipur. He has served in UN missions in both Congo and Sudan.

What truly captured the spirit of the occasion was the story of these four classmates, who grew up dreaming together and went on to serve the nation.

MYSURU: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of murdering the Constitution, asserting that people of the country would not allow the BJP and RSS to alter it. He was addressing a mega convention organised by the Karnataka government, where development works worth over Rs 2,500 crore for Mysuru were inaugurated and foundation stones laid. BJP and RSS are talking about amending or rewriting the Constitution. You may try how much ever you want, the people of this country will not allow you to change the Constitution. If you (people) allow them to change the Constitution, you will not have any rights, Kharge warned the gathering. Modi, you became the Chief Minister and Prime Minister because of the Constitution, you bowed to the Constitution before entering the Parliament, but Modi is today murdering the same Constitution. BJP and RSS are every day making attempts to remove this Constitution, he added. Chief Minister Siddaramiah, Deputy CM D K Shivakumar and several ministers of the state government were present at the event. During his address, Kharge also hit out at the PM for visiting 42 countries, but not conflict-hit Manipur. What is the reason? Are you (Modi) afraid of going there? Rahul Gandhi (Congress leader) has visited twice... when people of the country are dying, Modi travels abroad, he alleged. Lauding the Siddaramaiah-led government for its development works in Karnataka, the veteran party leader said the BJP only criticises and accused the party of indulging in corruption. Benefits never reached poor under RJD-Congress rule, alleges PM Modi at Bihar rally Modi often asks what has the Congress done in the past 55 years. What we have done is before the people, tell us what you have done, he said. Alleging that big public sector companies established by the Maharajas and Jawaharlal Nehru were being sold to business tycoons like Adani and Ambani, the AICC chief said they are our assets, built using our tax money, and many people work there. Whether it is airport, port, roads, airlines, everything is being sold to the people he (Modi) wants, he said. Noting that the Congress has always aimed to empower people financially and socially, Kharge said the grand old party is working continuously without compromising with its ideology. We may have lost in a few states, but there are crores of people who still want us to come to power to save democracy and the constitution, he said. Mocking Modi's Congress mukt Bharat slogan, he said the PM even said Abki Bar Charso Par but (BJP) secured only 240 seats. Arrogance will make people fall, he said. Praising the Congress government's five guarantee schemes in Karnataka, he said they are popular across the country. The Congress chief lauded CM Siddaramaiah, Ministers, legislators and party workers for their collective leadership in implementing the schemes. In my Congress party there are people who perform, while in Modi's BJP, people only speak or criticise, he said. Kharge refuted claims that the Karnataka government was ankrupt and asked, If the government was bankrupt would it have given Rs 50 crore to each MLA for developmental work in their constituencies? Urging the Modi government at the Centre to release Karnataka's share of funds under various schemes, Kharge said, Give us our money, it is not your money, it is our money paid by us in the form of taxes/GST. Pointing to Modi's recent claim that India is now counted among the top countries where equality is the highest, he said Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that slowly the number of poor people in the country is increasing and the wealth is getting concentrated in the hands of few rich people, this should not happen. Who is correct, Modi or Gadkari? Who is to be believed? Kharge asked, adding that Modi's only guarantee is lying. What has happened in Amrit Kaal of Modi is that one per cent super rich have 40 per cent wealth, while 50 per cent poor have only 6.4 percent of wealth. Tell me where is development? the Congress chief asked. Ladakh leaders to write to Kharge, Rahul over exclusion of core demands in PM letter

Centre plans to push 8 key bills during Parliament monsoon session
NEW DELHI: Amid expectations of an Opposition uproar over several pressing issues including intelligence failure linked to the Pahalgam terror attack, the Bihar Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and repeated comments by the US President regarding the ceasefire the Modi government is poised to introduce over eight Bills during the Monsoon Session, which commences on July 21. Opposition parties appear firm in their resolve to raise matters such as the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, the devastating Ahmedabad air crash, the SIR exercise, Operation Sindoor, and US President Trumps recurring claims of having facilitated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. However, Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently said in an interview with this newspaper that the government would not shy away from discussions on Operation Sindoor and its successes in achieving its objectives in Parliament. However, the Opposition may insist on a discussion on the intelligence failure on the Pahalgam terror attack also, which is unlikely to be conceded by the government, and it may cause an uproar during the session, a senior Opposition source said on Tuesday. A demand for discussion on the Ahmedabad air crash is also expected to be raised in the Rajya Sabha. Recently, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi wrote to the Ministry of Civil Aviation expressing concern over the handling of the AAIBs interim investigation report into the crash. It is anticipated that she will raise the issue and call for a government response during the monsoon session. A reliable source within the ruling camp also stated that the government may disregard the Oppositions uproar over the SIR electoral rolls in Bihar. Among the Bills expected to be tabled is the Geo-heritage Sites and Geo-relics (Preservation and Maintenance) Bill, aiming to safeguard geo-heritage sites and geo-relics. Other legislation slated for introduction includes the National Sports Governance Bill, the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, and the National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill. The Manipur Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, the IIM (Amendment) Bill, and the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill. The Income Tax Bill, 2025, is also likely to be taken up. Another key development anticipated during the session is the Centre seeking Parliaments approval for an extension of Presidents Rule in Manipur.

Security forces stop Manipur relief camp inmates from returning to native village
GUWAHATI: Security forces on Wednesday thwarted an attempt by around 100 people, displaced by the ethnic violence in Manipur, to return to their native Dolaithabi village in the Imphal East district of Meitei-majority Imphal Valley. The persons, who are lodged at a relief camp in the district, were intercepted at Pukhao Bazar area, 2.5 km away from Dolaithabi. The village is considered a sensitive area, given its proximity to conflict zones. Sources said it was a precautionary measure that the people were not allowed to return to their village. The Imphal East district shares its boundary with Kuki-majority Kangpokpi district. During the ethnic conflict, a series of violent incidents occurred in areas bordering the two districts. Recently, Manipur Chief Secretary PK Singh stated the government had plans to shut down all relief camps after carrying out the resettlement of the people in three phases. The government had come up with the plan following discussions with the central government. The number of displaced, which was 62,000 in the beginning, is now about 57,000.

Man who ran away from Congress is now Assam CM: Kharge taking jibe at Himanta
CHAYGAON: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday took a jibe at Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, claiming that the grand old party had to lend its member so that the BJP could form a government in the state. The man who ran away from the Congress is now the chief minister of Assam, Kharge said, addressing a party workers meet during a day-long trip to the state. Sarma was a minister in the Congress government in Assam before he switched to the BJP in 2015. Alleging that the current BJP dispensation in the state is indulging in corruption, Kharge said, Those who have wronged people will be sent to jail. They should repair prisons now, as they will have to stay there. He claimed that people in Assam were being hreatened in the garb of detecting illegal immigrants, and would teach a lesson to the BJP-led government in next years election. On eviction drives in Assam, Kharge said that if the Congress forms a government in the state, it will rebuild the houses and pay compensation to those affected by such an action by the BJP dispensation. He also claimed that the BJP government could apply tactics like voter list revision, delimitation of constituencies against the Congress in Assam, and urged the party members to be vigilant to defeat such attempts. Kharge said that if the Congress is voted to power, it will guarantee education for children, jobs for youth in Assam and a maximum wage for tea garden workers. He also claimed that the Dalits and people belonging to SC, ST and OBC communities have to be on alert, or else their reservations would be aken away by the BJP government at the Centre. Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kharge said, Modi visited five countries in five days, but he could not find two hours to come to strife-torn Manipur. He further said the people have to come together to save the Constitution. The Constitution is the basis of our democracy. RSS, BJP are trying to change it, he claimed.
Manipur authorities halted nearly 100 internally displaced people from returning to their villages near Sajiwa, Imphal East, citing precautionary measures. This action follows the ethnic conflict between the Meitei and Kuki communities, which has displaced thousands since May 2023.

'Cheap politics': Education Minister Pradhan attacks Rahul over comments on Odisha student's death
BHUBANESWAR: Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of indulging in cheap politics over the death by suicide of a college student in Odishas Balasore district. Pradhan claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have always taken concrete steps for women's safety and justice, while the Congress has consistently sought opportunities in every tragedy. The statement came after Gandhi, in a post in Hindi on X, alleged that the death of a daughter fighting for justice was a direct murder by the BJP system. That brave student raised her voice against sexual exploitation, but instead of justice, she was threatened, harassed and humiliated repeatedly, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha alleged. Those who were supposed to protect her kept oppressing her, Gandhi said. Like every time, the BJP system kept protecting the accused, and forced an innocent daughter to set herself on fire, he claimed. This is not suicide, it is an organised murder by the system, Gandhi further alleged. Modi ji, be it Odisha or Manipur, the daughters of the country are burning, breaking down, dying. And you? Are sitting silent. The country does not want your silence, it wants answers, he added. Responding to Gandhis statement, Pradhan said, The cheap politics played by Rahul Gandhi and Congress on the tragic incident involving Odisha's daughter is extremely unfortunate. Turning a serious and sensitive matter into a political weapon reflects @RahulGandhi's petty mindset. The incident in Odisha has shaken the entire nation, but Congress has seized this opportunity to bake its political bread, he posted on X. Pradhan said the BJP government in Odisha stands with the victim's family and that the strictest action will be taken against the culprits. However, this is not the time for cheap politics but for ensuring justice for the victim's family. Rahul Gandhi should immediately apologise to the victim's family for his irresponsible statement, he added. The second-year B.Ed student of Fakir Mohan (Autonomous) College in Balasore allegedly died by suicide at AIIMS-Bhubaneswar on Monday night after battling for her life for three days. She had allegedly set herself on fire on campus on Saturday over alleged inaction against a professor who had allegedly sexually harassed her.
86 weapons, 974 ammunition recovered in major crackdown in Manipur
IMPHAL: In a major crackdown on illegal arms, security forces recovered 86 weapons and 974 rounds of ammunition during a coordinated operation across five valley districts of Manipur on Tuesday. Acting on specific intelligence inputs, joint teams of Manipur Police, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), the Army and Assam Rifles launched simultaneous operations in Imphal East, Kakching, Imphal West, Thoubal, and Bishnupur districts, IGP (Zone-II) K Kabib said at a press conference. Coordinated operations were launched simultaneously at multiple locations by joint teams, comprising the Manipur Police, CAPFs, Army and Assam Rifles, he said. Among the weapons allegedly recovered were five AK rifles, three INSAS rifles, 16 SLRs, five .303 rifles, 19 pistols, two carbines, nine other types of rifles, and 16 single-barrel guns, he stated. A total of 86 weapons, along with 974 different types of grenades, ammunition, explosives and mortar shells were recovered. Forty-one magazines and six wireless handsets were also recovered, he added. Kabib said this seizure marked a significant achievement for the security forces in their mission to restore peace, uphold public order, and protect lives and property. The police are committed to ensuring a peaceful and secure Manipur. We also urge the people to cooperate with the police and security forces, and promptly report any suspicious activities or information related to illegal arms, he said.
Rahul Gandhi says Odisha students death is murder by the system, questions PM Modis silence
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Tuesday hit out at the BJP after the Odisha college student, who set herself ablaze following alleged sexual harassment by a professor , died, with former party chief Rahul Gandhi saying the country wants answers and not Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence. Gandhi's remarks came after the Odisha college student died at AIIMS in Bhubaneswar. The second-year integrated B.Ed student of Fakir Mohan (Autonomous) College, Balasore, died on Monday night after fighting for her life for three days. She took the extreme step on Saturday over alleged inaction against the professor and suffered 95 per cent burns. In a post in Hindi on X , Gandhi said the death of a daughter fighting for justice in Odisha is a direct murder by the BJP system. That brave student raised her voice against sexual exploitation but instead of justice, she was threatened, harassed and humiliated repeatedly, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said. Those who were supposed to protect her kept oppressing her, Gandhi said. Odisha students death over harassment inaction sparks political uproar; opposition calls bandh on 17th Like every time, the BJP system kept protecting the accused and forced an innocent daughter to set herself on fire, he added. This is not suicide, it is an organised murder by the system, Gandhi alleged. Modi ji, be it Odisha or Manipur the daughters of the country are burning, breaking down, dying. And you? Are sitting silent. The country does not want your silence, it wants answers, the former Congress president said. The daughters of India want security and justice, Gandhi added. Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said the daughter of Odisha, who had given up hope of justice from the BJP government, has also left this world. Just 20 years old. The mere thought of what that girl must have gone through sends shivers down the spine. How helpless she must have felt on her own campus. The rotten system of the BJP broke her to such an extent that she took the painful step of setting herself on fire, Ramesh said in a post in Hindi on X. She pleaded for help everywhere, from the college principal to the MP and the chief minister, but her pleas went unheard, he said. In the BJP government, the voices of women victims of crime are not being heard. And how could they be those entrusted with their protection are now standing hand in hand with the oppressors, Ramesh alleged. FM College student pressured to withdraw harassment complaint before self-immolation, alleges father Congress general secretary in-charge of organisation K. C. Venugopal also slammed the BJP over the death of the college student. The law and order situation in Odisha is collapsing every day. Even educational institutions are turning into dangerous places for women with cries of help and justice falling on deaf ears. It became so unbearable that a young student was forced to immolate herself, and she succumbed to the injuries today, he said. The BJP has a horrible track record of shielding the assaulters and neglecting the plight of women, he claimed. We demand accountability for this horrific situation, and we will not rest until justice is served and the perpetrators of this unspeakable crime are given the harshest punishment, Venugopal said. The woman was first admitted to the Balasore district hospital and then shifted to AIIMS Bhubaneswar for advanced treatment. She was undergoing treatment in the ICU, Department of Burn Centre, according to officials. The patient was resuscitated with IV fluids, IV antibiotics, intubated and put on mechanical ventilation. Despite adequate resuscitation and all possible supportive management, including renal replacement therapy at the Burns ICU, she could not be revived and was declared clinically dead at 11:46 pm on July 14, the Department of Burn Centre said in a statement.
