Did you approve lethal force, pellet guns: Rahul Gandhi to Amit Shah; bill in Lok Sabha today
NEW DELHI: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi shot off a letter to Union home minister Amit Shah, demanding accountability for police’s alleged high-handedness against protesters at Jantar Mantar, signalling a fiery start to the second week of the Monsoon session, as govt is set to table in Lok Sabha on Monday a bill that enhances punishment in cases of paper leaks as part of its raft of measures to respond to the protest.Opposition MPs said they will finalise their stand at their strategy meeting before parliamentary proceedings begin. LS leader of the opposition Rahul’s letter to Shah gave an early indication. “As home minister, did you approve the use of lethal force including pellet guns against students? If not, who did? Are the people in plainclothes seen beating students with lathis police personnel or volunteers? Youth and students, future of our country, are demanding answers and accountability,” he said, noting that security forces deployed in Delhi answer ultimately to Shah. Govt won’t like to be seen as making direct concessions to Cong, say NDA circles A day after education minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned to pacify Cockroach Janta Party and the opposition, PM Modi said in a message to students that govt will bring to Parliament the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill as he announced a taskforce for exam reforms. With govt determined to wrest back the initiative after making several concessions over the paper leak row and Congress and its allies keen to press home their advantage, both sides will need to come to an agreement for normal business to return to Parliament after the first week’s washout. The view within BJP-led NDA circles is that govt would not like to be seen making any direct concession to Congress, and instead point to the measures it has taken in the last few days. With Modi announcing the task force, Shah said this underlines govt’s principle of constant reform to safeguard future of the new generation. “The task force will ensure that no one can ever breach the sanctity of our exam system. We will impose exemplary punishment on culprits of paper leak and ensure no one ever dares commit this crime,” he said. Govt has said paper leaks have happened in different states irrespective of political affiliations of govt of the day. “Govt has shown a big heart and underscored its sincerity. We are hopeful opposition will now allow a debate to take place. But if they continue to play politics, we’ll hit back,” a govt functionary said. In his letter, Rahul accused police of “barbaric assault” on students during their march to Parliament on July 20. Congress’s Jairam Ramesh demanded an apology from Modi, with opposition MPs Sagarika Ghose of TMC and CPM’s John Brittas echoing the charge. The latter called for a judicial panel to inquire into the assault.

Speaking to reporters in Chennai airport, Venugopal said Rahul was visiting TN to participate in the valedictory function of the ten day training program for the newly appointed Congress district presidents. Speaking about the training program, Venugopal said the district presidents are the backbone of Congress and they are the bridge between the people and the party’s senior leadership. TNCC president B Manickam Tagore, who received Venugopal in Chennai airport, said Rahul’s visit will infuse fresh blood in Tamil Nadu unit of Congress. “This visit by Rahul Gandhi, who has been relentlessly fighting to safeguard the Constitution, strengthen democracy, establish social justice, and secure the future of the youth, will infuse fresh enthusiasm and inspiration among the Congress cadres and people of Tamil Nadu.

Amid Oppression, India’s Catholics Provide Sanctuary for Trans People
Against the backdrop of a fight for fundamental rights for transgender people in India, the Catholic Church is building a refuge for the local trans community. In Kadarkarai Sagaya Madha Church in Ennore, Chennai, church leaders have instituted a “Catholic Desk” that offers job placement assistance and professional counseling for transgender people. It is just one link in a chain that is forming across India. Just a few weeks after Kadarkarai Sagaya Madha Church unveiled this desk, the first ministry of its kind in the archdiocese, the Indian Parliament passed the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Act, according to a news article in Religion Unplugged. This act stripped away what fundamental rights transgender persons achieved in India with the 2014 Supreme Court ruling in National Legal Services Authority v. Union of India, which “guaranteed the right to self-identify one’s gender.” The news article reports that the new amendment undermines these rights in several ways: “The new amendment [requires] the approval of a government-appointed medical board…before the state will legally recognize a transgender person’s identity. The new law also narrows the legal definition of transgender so radically that trans men, non-binary people and many who did not fit into socio-culturally legible categories like hijra or aravani (terms meaning third-gender and usually referring to transgender women, intersex individuals or eunuchs) are no longer recognized under Indian law at all.” International and scientific communities condemn the amendment. Amnesty International calls it “a serious setback for human rights in India,” while medical groups call it “scientifically inaccurate, medically unsound, and incompatible with contemporary standards of transgender healthcare.” The church’s quiet push to aid members of the trans community seems a lot more intentional in the face of this new law. The church in Ennore isn’t the only place the Catholic Church is becoming a refuge for Indian transgender persons, either. In Northeast India, Sister Prema Chowallur of the Sisters of the Cross of Chavanod has been ministering to the Hijra community since 2016. According to Chowallur, this ministry began when she sat on a bus next to a transgender woman no one else would sit beside. This led her to open the Rainbow Home of the Seven Sisters, a shelter that also provides skills training and advocates for transgender children being admittedto the formal education system. The Archdiocese of Guwahati gave the home its backing. Chowullar’s approach to transgender ministry is “deliberately theological,” and uses the same language Pope Francis used when he stressed that the church must minister to those at the “peripheries.” Chowullar believes “this is the call of the Church today, to work for the rejected, discarded, and marginalized.” In Ennore, Father Leo Joseph leads the Catholic Desk initiative, with Inba Ignatius, founder of the Snegidhan Snegidhi Trust. The Trust has a long history providing shelter and support to transgender people in the region. Ignatius is from a Catholic family, but felt isolated from the church following her transition. She built the Snegidhan Snegidhi Trust “outside institutional structures.” With both Pope Leo and Pope Francis rpreaching kindness and care to all, Ignatius now sits on an eight-member committee that includes priests and religious sisters. Indian Church leaders are quick to emphasize they are helping to protect human dignity and providing spiritual accompaniment. Navigating the Hindu-nationalist political climate in India is complicated when offering shelter to a group that is also becoming more legally exposed. To trans Catholics in India, however, the rhetoric matters less than the existence of the Catholic Desk itself.

As Modi meets Sachkhand Ballan chief, why Punjab’s largest Dalit dera matters politically
Home to Punjab’s largest Ravidasia congregation, the dera has evolved into a symbol of Dalit assertion, religious identity and electoral significance. Chandigarh: Last week, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in Jalandhar to inaugurate a new railway station, one of the few persons he chose to specially meet was Sant Niranjan Dass, head of the influential Dalit Dera Sachkhand Ballan. The warmth between the PM and the Dalit dera appears mutual. In December last year, Sant Dass had first met Modi inviting him to the dera on the occasion of Guru Ravidas Jayanti, and the PM visited the dera in February to participate in the ceremony. The dera chief was also honoured with the civilian award Padma Shri last month. Apart from the growing personal friendship, the PM’s open patronage of Punjab’s largest Dalit dera can also be read politically as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) outreach to Dalit voters ahead of next year’s assembly polls. ThePrint explains the emergence of Dera Sachkhand Ballan, located at Ballan in Jalandhar, and its political significance in Punjab. Three prominent deras Deras, widespread in Punjab, are socio-religious centres of various sects and organisations. Unlike Sikh gurdwaras, where the Guru Granth Sahib is considered a living guru, deras are generally led by a living guru with a personal following. Dera Radha Soami Satsang Beas, Dera Sacha Sauda (headquartered in Sirsa) and Dera Sachkhand Ballan are the three most followed deras in Punjab, commanding a following running into several lakhs. Though the dera Beas, located in the Majha belt, is considered to be apolitical, the BJP has in the past few years made multiple efforts to cement the party’s bond with dera chief Baba Gurinder Singh. The outreach has included the PM meeting Baba Gurinder Singh on several occasions. The dera at Sirsa, which has a large following in Malwa, is headed by Gurmeet Ram Rahim currently in jail serving multiple sentences for rape and murder. He is considered to be close to the BJP, with the administration allowing him breaks from jail several times in the year. Now, the bonhomie with a prominent Dalit dera in the heart of Doaba completes the picture. Dalits hold the key Dalits constitute almost 32 percent of Punjab’s population, the highest proportion of Scheduled Caste (SC) population among all Indian states, according to the 2011 Census. They are divided among Sikh, Hindu and Christian faiths, and many flock to deras. Dalits also do not vote en bloc in Punjab. Among the Dalits, the Ravidasias, Ramdasias and Ad-Dharmis are the major sub-groups, concentrated in the Doaba region comprising the districts of Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, SBS Nagar and Phagwara. Ronki Ram, from the department of sociology, Panjab University Chandigarh, had in his seminal study on Punjab Dalits reported that the Ravidasias are the most prominent Dalit community in the state. “Out of the 39 SC castes in Punjab, the four major castes of Chamar (23.45 percent), Ad-dharmi (11.48 percent), Balmiki (9.78 percent) and Mazhabi (29.72 percent) constitute 74.44 percent of the total SC population,” he wrote in his research paper titled ‘Caste within Caste: Predicament of Political Solidarity among Scheduled Castes in Contemporary Punjab’. “Chamars are further divided into Ravidasias (leather workers) and Ramdasias (weavers). The Ravidasias have utilised the availability of reservation in education well, and are more upwardly mobile than Ramdasias,” he told ThePrint. The Ravidasias are followers of Guru Ravidas, a 15th-century Bhakti saint and social reformer of the Chamar caste whose egalitarian message resonated with Dalit communities. “Ravidas was born into the Chamar caste, also known as Kutbandhla, one of the Scheduled Castes (SC) in Uttar Pradesh. Chamars are known by their profession of leather and tanning. They were oppressed and their touch and sight were considered polluting by the upper castes. Ravidas revolted against this inhuman system of untouchability. He adopted bhakti as a mode of expression for his revolt,” reads Ronki Ram’s research paper. Guru Ravidas’s poetic hymns are also included in the holy text of the Guru Granth Sahib. Every year, trains full of devotees from Sachkhand Ballan head to Shri Guru Ravidas Janam Asthan in Varanasi to mark the guru’s birth anniversary. During his visit to Jalandhar last week, the PM also flagged off the Sant Ravidas Express connecting Amritsar to Varanasi to facilitate devotees travelling from Punjab. The Sachkhand Ballan Dera is the largest dera of the Ravidasias in Punjab. According to Ronki Ram, the growth and expansion of Sachkhand Ballan is an example of the upward mobility of Ravidasias. “Many Ravidasias went abroad and have earned well and have invested in Guru Ravidas deras. They have built temples, gurdwaras, bhawans (memorial halls), educational institutions/chairs, cultural organisations and hospitals in his name all over Punjab. They are also networked and, as a community, enjoy political clout. The growth and expansion of Sachkhand Ballan is an example of this upward mobility of Ravidasias,” he said. A faultline among Ravidasias and radical Sikhs emerged in 2009 when six armed men attacked a Ravidasia congregation at Ravidas Gurdwara in Vienna in Austria, where Sant Ramanand, the then second in command of the dera, was fatally injured. Sant Niranjan Dass, who was heading the sect even then and was with Sant Ramanand, was injured. Sikh extremists saw some Ravidasia practises as divergent from orthodox Sikh canon. They objected to keeping the Guru Granth Sahib at the same level as a human guru. The 2009 attack triggered protests in Punjab, with clashes among Sikhs and Ravidasias reported in Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, and other areas. Several vehicles were burnt in the riots that ensued. A passenger train was torched after passengers were asked to evacuate. Then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had to appeal for peace. In September 2010, a Vienna court sentenced the main attacker to life in prison for murder and attempted murder, while four accomplices received 17 to 18-year sentences and a sixth received six months. Demand for separate identity The Vienna incident was pivotal in galvanising the community’s sense of a separate identity.

‘This was a warning from students & oppn’: Rahul attacks Centre, PM Modi after CJP ends stir
NEW DELHI: Leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hailed Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation as the “victory of the future of India.” During a press conference, the Congress leader said the country’s education system had been under attack for years and that the government would have to take concrete steps to bring about reforms. “First of all, this is the victory of our students. This is the future of India. The education system which used to be our pride, the whole world acknowledged that the education system of India is very good. It has been under attack for years. It is being captured, it is being privatized. This was a reaction to that. Pradhan is a symbol. A symbol of corruption, a symbol of destruction of the education system, a symbol of incompetence,” Rahul said. “He had to go. And it is good that he went. But now the government will have to take concrete steps to change the education system. The RSS’s capture of the education system of India is a big issue. If it is Modi ji’s fault, then the RSS is equally at fault,” he added. The Congress leader also warned the government and said, “This country belongs to the people of India. It belongs to the Constitution of India. All these institutions do not belong to you. If you continue down this path, you will see that what has happened now will happen on a scale ten times larger. That is the basic message.” He also targeted Union home minister Amit Shah over the alleged brutality against protesters marching to Parliament on July 20 and claimed that the issue would be prominently raised by the Opposition during the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament. “We hold Mr Amit Shah directly responsible for the violence that has taken place against our students. He authorised the shooting of our students. He authorised the use of lethal weapons, including pellet guns, against our students. For us, this is a fundamental issue. We will not accept our own forces shooting at the future of India. This will be a major issue in Parliament.” “I want to thank all the students from the bottom of my heart and whatever support they need from my side, wherever they need support, I am ready. Congress party’s idea with the protest was to support it wholeheartedly. We supported it and we are here to protect the students of India, to protect the future of India. This is a fight between the past, which is Narendra Modi and the RSS, and the future of India, and we are very confident that the future of India will defeat the past,” he added. This comes after Pradhan said he had stepped down after considering the situation that had developed at Jantar Mantar and across the country, adding that the government had acted swiftly after irregularities in the NEET-UG examination surfaced by handing the probe to the CBI, cancelling the examination and announcing a re-test. Minutes after Pradhan’s resignation, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke had declared that the protest would continue until the remaining demands were met. He had sought Rs 1 crore compensation for the families of students who died by suicide following the paper leak and action against police personnel over the alleged crackdown on protesters on July 20. However, following three rounds of talks with the Centre, the CJP on Sunday announced that it was withdrawing its 36-day agitation at Jantar Mantar with immediate effect after the government accepted its remaining demands, while also agreeing to consider the party’s five-point charter on examination reforms.

‘Proud of you, Pradhan’s exit a signal … let’s get rid of this regime’: Rahul hails youth, asks PM Modi to apologise
NEW DELHI: Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday congratulated the youth protesters after Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan tendered his resignation amid protest across the country over NEET paper leak. In a social media post on X, Rahul said that Pradhan’s resignation is a huge step in rebuilding the education system “Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation is a huge step in rebuilding our education system. It’s a symbolic step because he was a symbol. But it is still a big step,” the Congress leader said. “And I want to congratulate every single student, every single youngster who came out on the streets and fought for democracy, fought for the future of this country and defended the Constitution. I’m proud of you. Well done,” he added. Accusing the government of “attacking India” and destroying the constitution, Rahul also the called on the youngsters for getting rid of the “regime.” “It’s also a signal to other parts of society. Farmers, laborers, poor people. Anybody who this regime is attacking and oppressing. There is wisdom and courage in standing up. Daro Mat. Let’s get rid of this regime,” Rahul said. “This regime that is attacking India. Destroying our constitution, capturing all our institutions,” he added. Rahul also urged the government to fulfil the two remaining demands — action against the police officials who allegedly assaulted protesting students during CJP’s march to Parliament on July 20, and an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Let me remind the government. There is still two demands outstanding. The first one and most important one. Anybody who has raised a finger on our students, beaten them, shot at them. Has to be held accountable. People who’ve organised it, people who’ve implemented it. All have to be punished,” Rahul said. “And the final demand. That the Prime Minister of India. Out of respect for the students of India. Out of respect for the future of India. Has to apologise to the students who were brutalised and attacked. Thank you. Jai Hind,” he added. Earlier in the day, Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday announced his resignation, saying he was deeply pained by the developments of the past 10 days and wanted to ensure that anti-national forces did not exploit the situation arising from the controversy over examination irregularities. In his letter, Pradhan said, “For over four decades, I have dedicated myself to the cause of students, teachers, and educational reform. I have always believed that a robust, inclusive, and visionary education system forms the cornerstone of a strong nation.” “I deeply respect the aspirations, sentiments, and legitimate expectations of the country’s youth. Realising the dreams of India’s young generation has been a moral commitment in our political and social lives. I express my gratitude to the Honourable Prime Minister for the opportunity to serve the nation under his visionary leadership,” he said. This comes amid nationwide protests demanding strict action against the paper leak and exam irregularities, following Education Minister Pradhan’s resignation, which he said was rooted in accountability.

PM Modi is India’s past, protesting youth the country’s future, says Rahul
NEW DELHI: Asserting that “time has come to remove this govt”, Congress’s Rahul Gandhi said PM Narendra Modi is India’s past while the protesting youth are the country’s future. He added that the “past can never fight the future”. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge called education minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation a “victory of truth and defeat of Modi’s stubbornness”. Rahul said students’ agitation has issued a warning that if BJP-RSS continue to run the govt like their personal fiefdom, they would face a stir 10 times more intense than what is happening now. He accused RSS of hollowing India from inside like termites. He said Pradhan’s resignation is a signal to other communities that are being “oppressed” by Modi govt, that fighting the govt is a wise step. Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, “Force was used against them. But the youth did not bend; govt had to bend.” She said she had been wondering for the past 10-12 years, “When will we wake up and realise what is being done to our country?” She said the youth are reclaiming their country. Party MP K C Venugopal said, “A massive salute to millions of students across country who compelled this govt to bow down to their will.” Rahul said that Pradhan was a symbol of corruption and destruction of world-class education system, and “it is good that he is gone”.

‘Who approved pellet guns?’ Rahul Gandhi writes Amit Shah over ‘barbaric assault’ on students
NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi wrote to Union home minister Amit Shah, demanding accountability for the “barbaric assault” on students protesting “peacefully” at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on July 20. Calling out the “most shocking” use of “lethal pellet guns,” the Congress leader claimed that a 19-year-old student has been undergoing a severe pain and is “likely to lose an eye because he was shot with pellet guns”. “Security forces deployed in Delhi answer ultimately to you, so I ask:1. As Home Minister, did you approve the use of lethal force including pellet guns against students? If not, who did? 2. Are the people in plain clothes seen beating students with lathis police personnel or volunteers? Who authorized their deployment?” Rahul Gandhi wrote in a letter addressed to Amit Shah.The Congress leader futher said that it’s “government’s responsibility to protect protestors and resolve their grievances through dialogue”. “Peaceful protest is crucial to any democracy. It is the government’s responsibility to protect protestors and resolve their grievances through dialogue. Such brutal violence destroys every norm, and has outraged the country. Youth and students, the future of our country, are demanding answers and accountability. Their voice will be heard,” he further wrote. Rahul Gandhi on Saturday slammed the government, saying children protesting for their rights receive “pellets” instead of “justice.” In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi shared a video featuring a youth who was reportedly beaten by the Delhi Police during Monday’s protests against paper leaks. “Sahil was standing with the Tricolour in his hand, merely asking for a clean, fair exam and the fruit of his hard work–the police raised a gun and badly injured him by firing pellets. This is not British tyranny; it is the brutality of the Modi government in independent India–where innocent students demanding their rights receive pellets instead of justice,” the post read. More than 118 police personnel sustained injuries, including senior officers holding the ranks of Special Commissioner of Police, Joint Commissioner of Police, Additional Commissioner of Police, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, and Assistant Commissioner of Police, along with several female police personnel. During the scuffle, around 60 protesters were also reported to have been injured. On Friday, the Union Cabinet approved amendments to the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, to strengthen the anti-paper leak law amid continuing nationwide protests over the NEET-UG row, while the deadlock in Parliament continued for the fifth day. According to sources, the proposed amendment Bill is likely to be tabled in Parliament on Monday, July 27.
