<title>Meta blocks Malayalam digital media NOCAP’s Facebook page after notice</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/meta-blocks-malayalam-digital-media-nocaps-facebook-page-after-notice</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.Meta India has banned the Facebook page of NOCAP, an independent Malayalam digital media organisation in Kerala. According to NOCAP, Meta has explained that the action was taken based on a notice, citing “unlawful activity.”The page was blocked following a notice, said to be issued by the Government of India/Law Enforcement to Meta under Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act, 2000. It is unclear which law enforcement agency or government including the Union and state governments the notice is from. Ali Hyder, the executive editor of NOCAP, said neither Meta nor the government has so far provided a clear explanation as to which specific content published by NOCAP was deemed “unlawful.”Ali Hyder added that attempts are being made in Kerala to control media organisations and digital platforms that raise voices of dissent against the government through various means. “In this context, the action against NOCAP must be examined seriously,” he said.“NOCAP seeks to use journalism to uphold constitutional values and remain firmly rooted in democratic and secular principles. How can journalism that questions the wrongful tendencies of governments and holds those in power accountable be considered unlawful?” a NOCAP press release notes.The press note also mentioned that a restriction imposed on the voice of one media organisation today must not become a precursor to tampering with the freedom of expression of every citizen tomorrow.This is not the first time that Meta has blocked NOCAP. Earlier in February this year, Meta blocked the Instagram account of NOCAP along with the Malayalam newspaper Deshabhimani, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). Following the block, both media outlets began new Instagram handles. ]]></description>

<title>ECI orders special drive to enroll voters left out after SIR in 20 states, UTs</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/eci-orders-special-drive-to-enroll-voters-left-out-after-sir-in-20-states-uts</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Election Commission of India (ECI) has directed 20 states and union territories to launch a special drive to enroll voters left out of the electoral rolls after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).The directive was issued on September 29 and reiterated at a video conference with Chief Electoral Officers on October 1. The drive will also cover young and first-time eligible voters who have not yet been enrolled.Chief Electoral Officers, District Election Officers and Electoral Registration Officers in states where the SIR has been completed have been asked to facilitate enrolment through the continuous updation process. The exercise will use the standard Form 6, without an additional declaration introduced during the SIR.The online Form 6 had earlier been modified to ask applicants whether their name, or that of their parents or grandparents, appeared on the electoral roll during the last SIR. Applicants could not proceed without answering the question. According to Indian Express, Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had objected to the change, with Sandhu describing it as “unauthorised/illegal”.The ECI has now clarified that the additional declaration will apply only during the SIR phase. In states where the exercise has been completed, voters will use the statutory Form 6 prescribed under the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960. The ECI had also removed the additional declaration from its ECINET portal for states where the SIR has concluded.The CEOs have also been instructed to compare the electoral rolls prepared before and after the SIR and identify voters whose names were deleted. Officials have been asked to identify those who may have been left out and facilitate their re-enrollment.According to officials who attended the October 1 video conference, Booth Level Officers may be asked to visit the homes of voters who are not mapped elsewhere and have not been identified as duplicates or deceased. They will assist eligible voters in filling Form 6. The ECI has also asked state election officials to seek assistance from political parties and their booth-level agents during the exercise.The move comes amid scrutiny over the scale of deletions during the nationwide SIR. The Indian Express reported that around 13 crore names had been struck off draft rolls across 30 states and union territories. They also reported that Sandhu and Joshi had raised objections on multiple occasions over decisions concerning the SIR, including changes to Form 6 and the centralisation of the ECINet electoral roll database.The ECI had, at its September 26 meeting, said that anyone whose name was left out during or after the SIR, including young and first-time voters, could apply for inclusion through continuous updation. It also said CEOs would launch a special drive to facilitate such enrollment.The Commission has separately announced measures concerning voters issued notices for being “unmapped” or having “logical discrepancies” during the ongoing SIR. Such voters need not routinely appear for hearings, with Booth Level Officers instead directed to collect documents from their homes and upload them on ECINET for the Electoral Registration Officer to decide their cases. ]]></description>

<title>HC asks Assembly Speaker to act on plea to disqualify Pala MLA Mani C Kappan</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.The Kerala High Court has directed the Speaker of the state Legislative Assembly to take appropriate action, in accordance with law, on a representation seeking the disqualification of Pala MLA Mani C Kappan following his conviction in four cheque dishonour cases in Mumbai.Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas passed the direction on Thursday, October 1, while considering a petition filed by businessman Dinesh Menon, who has sought Kappan’s removal as a legislator and a declaration that the Pala Assembly seat has fallen vacant.The court, however, refrained from deciding whether Kappan had incurred disqualification. It held that the question has to be considered by the Speaker, particularly as Dinesh Menon’s representation seeking a formal declaration of disqualification is already pending before the Assembly.“Though various contentions have been raised by either side, regarding merits of the case, this Court is of the view that considering the limited scope in respect of the matter of disqualification, it is not proper for this Court to make any observation,” the court said, as per a Live Law report.The court noted that the Speaker had been informed of Kappan’s convictions and directed that the matter be dealt with keeping in mind the provisions of the Constitution and the Representation of the People Act.“He (Speaker) ought to take appropriate steps as he feels fit in accordance with law bearing in mind the provisions of the Constitution and the Representation of People Act at the earliest without undue delay,” the court said.The petition followed four separate convictions recorded against Kappan by the Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Borivali, Mumbai, on September 1.The cases were instituted by Dinesh Menon under the Negotiable Instruments Act over dishonoured cheques. Kappan was sentenced to one year in prison in each of three cases, while the fourth case resulted in a six-month sentence. The combined prison term is three-and-a-half years.The Mumbai court also ordered Kappan to pay compensation of Rs 1.20 crore in one case, Rs 1.70 crore each in two cases, and Rs 70 lakh in the fourth.The dispute between Kappan and Dinesh Menon relates to an alleged transaction involving a promise to provide shares in Kannur International Airport. Dinesh alleged that he had paid Rs 3.5 crore to Kappan in connection with the proposed share transaction.Kappan has denied the allegations and maintained that the proceedings against him were politically motivated.Following the Mumbai court’s convictions, Dinesh Menon approached the Kerala Legislative Assembly Speaker seeking Kappan’s disqualification from the date of conviction.His case before the High Court is that the convictions attract Section 8(3) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, which provides for disqualification of a person convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for not less than two years.As no action was taken on his representation before the Speaker, Dinesh moved the High Court. Apart from seeking a direction to the Speaker to declare Kappan disqualified and the Pala seat vacant, he has sought action by the Election Commission to conduct a bye-election as well.Kappan opposed the petition, arguing that the High Court should not directly decide the question of his disqualification.His stand is that the Constitution provides a specific procedure for determining whether a sitting MLA has incurred disqualification. Referring to Article 192, Kappan argued that such a question has to be referred to the Governor, who is required to obtain the opinion of the Election Commission and act in accordance with that opinion. ]]></description>

<title>Kerala electricity crisis: Himachal Pradesh signs deal with KSEB, offers temporary relief</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/kerala-electricity-crisis-himachal-pradesh-signs-deal-with-kseb-offers-temporary-relief</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/kerala-electricity-crisis-himachal-pradesh-signs-deal-with-kseb-offers-temporary-relief</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Congress-led government in Himachal Pradesh has come to the rescue of its counterpart in Kerala, which has been facing a major electricity crisis since it assumed power in May this year.  Following negotiations with officials of Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB), the Himachal Pradesh government has agreed to provide Kerala 600–900 MW of electricity from October 1 onwards. This is expected to be sufficient to meet the peak demand of the state. A deficient monsoon coupled with a high power consumption had disrupted KSEB’s power distribution from June to September. A senior officer of KSEB said that the purchase from Himachal Pradesh was enough to avoid the existing power curbs.  In addition to the agreement with Himachal, KSEB has also managed to secure certain short term deals of around 450-500 MW. It is currently unclear whether KSEB will continue purchasing from Himachal Pradesh, though it is seeking an agreement to extend the arrangement for the next few months.  KSEB is also relieved that the electricity it had to return as part of ‘swap’ agreement with other states ended by September 30. Under ‘swap’ deals, KSEB was expected to return during monsoon season the power it had purchased from other states at the time of peak summer. This monsoon season ended with a 28% deficiency on September 30. The increased domestic consumption caused by various factors, including high penetration of electric vehicles and increased use of air conditioners due to poor rainfall, aggravated the crisis. The state&#039;s hydroelectric power generation was around 19.23 MU as the storage in dams plummeted to 61.29%. The dams were 78.92% full during this time last year.  Though the state government had promised to end the power crisis by mid-September, it continued till the end of the month. On September 30, the state recorded a peak demand of 5,459 MW. Despite purchasing power from BSES Yamuna Power Limited, Delhi (50-60 MW), Uttar Pradesh (100 MW), and Haryana (100 MW), the state recorded a shortage of 900 MW, forcing the KSEB to implement night-time power restrictions on Wednesday, September 30.  The power crisis has even caused a rift within the ruling United Democratic Front with its convenor Adoor Prakash on Thursday, October 1 admitting that it caused dissatisfaction among the people towards the government. The UDF also faced a setback in the recent local body by-elections. ]]></description>

<title>HC declares woman sole owner of jointly registered house bought with father’s money</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.The Kerala High Court has declared a woman the exclusive owner of a seven-cent property and residential building in Malappuram district after finding that the entire payment for its purchase had been provided by her father, though the property was registered jointly in the names of the woman and her husband.A Division Bench comprising Justice Sathish Ninan and Justice P Krishna Kumar held that the woman’s father had bought the property for her benefit and that the husband had failed to establish that he had contributed any amount towards its purchase. The court also directed the husband to vacate the property within three months.The judgement was delivered on September 26 in a matrimonial appeal arising from an order of the Family Court, Malappuram.The dispute concerned a seven-cent property in Manjeri Municipality, purchased in 2015 in the joint names of the woman, Raslin, and her husband, Kurudankandi Shamsheer. Raslin had claimed that her father had provided Rs 30 lakh for purchasing the property, which was registered jointly in their names to secure her future and for the welfare of the family.The Family Court had earlier held that the property had been purchased exclusively with money raised by Raslin’s father and directed the husband to pay Rs 15 lakh, representing the value of his half share. The High Court, however, went further and declared Raslin the exclusive owner of the property.The court noted that a bank statement produced by Raslin’s father showed that Rs 25 lakh had been debited from his account on the date of execution of the sale deed. The husband Shamsheer, meanwhile, claimed that he had purchased the property using his own funds. However, during cross-examination, he admitted that the money had not been withdrawn from his bank account and claimed that it had been given to him by his brother-in-law, who had worked with him in Saudi Arabia.The High Court noted that Shamsheer did not produce documents showing how the money had been brought to India. “Thus, he failed to prove the payment of any such amounts,” the court held.The Bench also noted that the original title deed was in the woman’s possession and that the husband had admitted that she had obtained the sale deed from the Sub-Registry.“The petitioner’s claim regarding the purchase of property for her with the funds provided by her father, but in the joint names in the best interests of the family, stands proved,” the court said.Court rejects husband&#039;s claim over joint registrationThe husband’s counsel argued that since the property had been registered jointly, the woman could not claim exclusive ownership and relied on Section 92 (exclusion of evidence of oral agreement) of the Indian Evidence Act.The High Court examined the issue in detail and referred to Section 14 of the Family Courts Act, which permits family courts to receive material that may assist them in effectively resolving a dispute, even if such material would otherwise be inadmissible under the Evidence Act.In the present case, the court found that the oral evidence of the woman and her father was substantially corroborated by the bank records, and concluded that “the entire sale consideration was paid by the father of the petitioner.”The court further observed that the purpose behind the purchase was the welfare of the daughter and that this was established through the father’s evidence.Court orders husband to vacateThe woman had originally sought Rs 15 lakh towards the value of her husband’s alleged half share in the property. During the appeal, she also sought a declaration of exclusive ownership and an order directing him to vacate.The husband opposed the request, arguing that the amendment was belated.The High Court held that, in family disputes, the role of the court is different from that in ordinary civil litigation and that family courts are empowered to adopt procedures aimed at arriving at the truth.The Bench found that the woman’s original pleadings had sufficiently disclosed the nature of her claim that her father had paid the entire amount for the property and that the husband had not contributed anything.“Having been satisfied that the property was purchased for the petitioner, we do not find any impediment in declaring the petitioner&#039;s exclusive title in respect of the said property, even without allowing the application for amendment.”The court further held that the husband could not claim an independent right over the property once the woman’s exclusive title had been established.“In the interests of justice, the relief in the present case has to be moulded, declaring the exclusive ownership of the property upon the petitioner, while incidentally permitting her to obtain vacant possession thereof,” the Bench said. ]]></description>

<title>Violent clash between KSU, Youth Congress and SFI in Kerala University premises</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links. A series of violent clashes and protests erupted in Thiruvananthapuram University College and later on the streets of the city between the Students&#039; Federation of India (SFI), the student wing of Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] and the Youth Congress and the Kerala Students&#039; Union (KSU), the student wing of Congress, on the evening of Wednesday, September 30.The first clash lasted for nearly three to four hours outside the University men&#039;s hostel and University college near Palayam.Following the clash, the city also witnessed protests by the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI). Senior CPI(M) leader and Leader of Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan and former minister V Sivankutty also came to the protest venue.The issue reportedly began when the Youth Congress conducted a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Youth Congress workers alleged that stones and beer bottles were thrown at them from the University men’s hostel.“When the protest began, the police were present there. However, the police did not expect beer bottles to be thrown at the protesters from the university hostel. Later, stones were also thrown from inside University College. Vehicles that were parked there were vandalised,” Congress MLA Abin Varkky alleged.However, the SFI alleged that Youth Congress workers threw fireballs at the university hostel. According to reports, after the fireball landed inside the hostel premises, a clash broke out between the two groups in front of the hostel. Subsequently, police officers who entered the hostel allegedly assaulted the students.Later, CPI(M) leaders V Sivankutty and PK Sreemathy, along with CPI leader V Joy, staged a sit-in protest in front of the University college hostel.Pinarayi Vijayan too came to the venue and, speaking with the media he criticised the clash. He said that what happened was a one-sided attack. He also stated that there was no provocation from the SFI workers and alleged that Youth Congress workers launched the attack. “It is certain that the Youth Congress attack was part of a pre-planned decision. This is because, on several occasions in the past, the Congress, Youth Congress, and KSU have targeted the university hostel. The attack that took place here was part of that,” Pinarayi alleged.Pinarayi also said the Congress workers stopped the injured students from going to hospitals. To disperse the crowds, the Kerala police resorted to a heavy lathi charge and fired tear gas shells around the Palayam area. Senior police officials, including ADGP P Vijayan, arrived at the scene. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.The Kerala government has ordered a Vigilance probe into the construction defects, structural compromises, and financial irregularities surrounding the P and T Apartment complex at Mundamveli in Ernakulam. The housing complex, home to 78 families, was built under the LIFE Mission housing scheme and implemented by the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) to rehabilitate the families who lived in the waterlogging-prone P and Colony.The government order followed an inspection report submitted by the Director of the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB). According to the order, the government has sanctioned a preliminary probe under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act.Speaking to the media, the apartment’s residents’ association president said the residents welcome the vigilance inquiry.The government order for the vigilance inquiry came days after the Chief Minister VD Satheesan declared that the housing complex would be demolished and residents rehabilitated.According to the residents, within a month of moving in, major leaks surfaced in many houses following the rain. Later, multiple issues began to appear, including cracks on walls and plaster breaking apart like powder. Many residents also complained about electric shocks, especially during the rainy season.Abhilash said neither the GCDA nor the Kochi Corporation showed any willingness to address their issues.Following repeated negligence from authorities, the residents began an indefinite strike in front of the apartment two months ago. On the 67th day of their protest, September 26, VD Satheesan made a declaration of demolition and rehabilitation. Satheesan also added that detailed decisions regarding the same will be announced later.Though the families expressed happiness in the CM’s comments, they said they will not stop the protest until a definite solution is etched out.  ]]></description>

<title>Pakistani spouse of Indian can’t seek visa while suspension in force: Kerala HC</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links. Dismissing a writ petition filed by an Indian citizen and his Pakistani wife, the Kerala High Court said that a Pakistani national does not have a legally enforceable right to seek entry into India or even demand that a visa application be processed while the Union’s suspension of visa services for Pakistani nationals remains in force.Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas passed the order on August 13, 2026, in a petition filed by Unaiz Kadumbottil, an Indian citizen from Wayanad, and his wife Khadija Jabeen Khalid Hussain, a Pakistani national. The couple, currently residing in Dubai, had approached the court after Khadija was unable to find a procedure to submit an application for an Indian visa.“No foreign national has an inherent or legally enforceable right to seek entry into India and the issuance of a tourist Visa, as it is a sovereign function of the State, deeply rooted in considerations of national security, foreign policy and administrative discretion. No foreign national, even if he/she is the spouse of an Indian citizen, has a vested right to demand that he/she should be permitted to enter the country,” the court noted.The couple had married in Dubai on June 1, 2025. Unaiz’s brother was scheduled to get married on August 15, 2026, and the couple wanted to attend the wedding. According to the petition, when Khadija attempted to apply for an Indian visa, there was no available procedure to even submit an application for a visit visa or another suitable category.The Union government opposed the petition, stating that no foreign national could claim a right to enter or remain in India except in accordance with law and policy decisions. It pointed out that an order issued on April 25, 2025, had revoked visas issued to Pakistani nationals, with exceptions for certain categories including medical, long-term, diplomatic and official visas. Visa services for Pakistani nationals had consequently remained suspended.The petitioners argued that Khadija had caused no harm to India and that denying her even an opportunity to apply for a visa violated Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution. They also contended that since she was married to an Indian citizen, she should at least be considered for a long-term visa.The Union, however, maintained that even fresh applications for long-term visas were not open for consideration and that a foreign national had no vested right to enter, reside or settle in India.In its judgment, the High Court held that regulation of the entry, stay, movement and departure of foreigners is an exclusive sovereign function of the Union government, linked to considerations of national security, sovereignty and public order.The court noted that the Union government  had suspended all visa services for Pakistani nationals following security concerns raised after the Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025. It said the order issued on April 25, 2025, under Section 3 of the Foreigners Act, 1946, continued to remain in force.“As long as the order issued under Section 3 of the Foreigners Act, 1946 remains in force, no Pakistani National can demand that his/her application for Visa be processed,” the court said.The Kerala High Court further observed that Khadija’s proposed visit was specifically to attend her brother-in-law’s wedding on August 15 and 16, 2026. Therefore, the visa sought could only be a visit visa and not a long-term visa.“Being a Pakistani National, from 25.04.2025 onwards, all Visa services have been brought to a stand still, and hence the second petitioner cannot demand that her Visa application should be processed,” the court order said.The court also rejected the petitioner&#039;s reliance on Articles 14 and 21. It held that Article 21 permits deprivation of liberty through a procedure established by law and found that the April 25, 2025 order had been issued under the statutory power contained in Section 3 of the Foreigners Act.On Article 14, the court said that although the provision applies to non-citizens, it can be invoked by them only when they are within India. Referring to another Delhi High Court decision, it held that the constitutional guarantee of equality before law applies to individuals within India&#039;s jurisdiction and not to foreign nationals outside the country.The court ultimately answered both questions framed at the beginning of the judgment in the negative and dismissed the writ petition. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.More than 50 filmmakers whose works were selected for the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala (IDSFFK) have signed a statement urging the Kerala Chalachitra Academy to screen all the films in competition for the jury, or else cancel the competition and award no one. The statement comes after repeated requests to the Academy to screen all the films selected for the festival failed, following the Union government’s objection to some of them without giving any reason. Filmmakers whose works have been allowed to screen at the festival have also joined the cause, along with hundreds of delegates.The sentiment of the filmmakers is echoed in a letter that jury members from the last two years of the festival have written to the chairperson of the Academy, Ravindran. “We are deeply disturbed to learn that 7 films were removed from the festival programming line-up because the Ministry of I&amp;B arbitrarily withheld permission for their public screenings, without giving any specific reasons whatsoever. We are particularly dismayed to learn that IDSFFK administration has decided not to let the Jury see the following 5 of these films selected for Competition,” began the letter, written by former jury members including Rakesh Sharma, who won the Lifetime Achievement Award for his documentaries at the IDSFFK in 2025.Initially, the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had denied permission for 31 films. However, after the Kerala government’s intervention, permission was granted to 24 of these, including one on the waiting list. Of the seven films excluded from the list, five are in competition. The makers of these films have since been urging the Academy to at least allow a screening for the jury so the competition can be conducted fairly. However, even after the jury agreed to watch the films, the Academy has not allowed it.The Academy had taken the matter to court, with a plea to allow the screening. However, the court adjourned the hearing to November 13. The festival, being held from September 25 to 30, has therefore proceeded without the five films being screened for the jury. Following this, the filmmakers staged a protest outside the Kairali Theatre complex on the evening of September 28. The jury members of previous years, including Rakesh Sharma, Pankaj Rishikumar, Jabeen Merchant, Ranajit Ray, Rintu Thomas, and Faiza Khan, urged the Academy “to immediately send these [competition] films to the 2026 Jury for previews and consideration for the awards. Not doing so would be tantamount to endorsing and legitimizing arbitrary censorship at IDSFFK.”They further pointed out that the Union Ministry had only withheld permission for public screenings, and that this should not extend to closed-door private screenings. “There is no legal bar nor a Ministry ban or advisory to prevent a non-public screening for the Jury.”The Academy&#039;s &#039;apprehension&#039; that one of the withheld films may win an award and create an awkward situation is also brushed away in the letter. “The obvious question then would be – if a film is excellent enough to first be selected from among 100s of entries by the Festival Selection Committee and then chosen for an award by a Jury comprising eminent filmmakers and experienced professionals, then how and why did the Centre ‘censor’ it?”Premendra Mazumder, a film critic and curator, stated that there appears to be no legal or ethical basis for preventing Jury members from watching the films. &quot;The CC (Censorship Certificate) issued by the CBFC or the CE (Censorship Exemption Order) issued by the I&amp;B Ministry is applicable to public screenings, particularly theatrical or public exhibition of films. A Jury screening, however, is not a public screening; Jury members can view the films privately for the purpose of evaluation without the film being exhibited to a public audience in a theatre,&quot; he stated. ]]></description>

<title>‘Many Muslim girls follow atheist pages’: KM Shaji calls for community introspection</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/many-muslim-girls-follow-atheist-pages-km-shaji-calls-for-community-introspection</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.Keralam Minister for Local Self-Government and senior Indian National Muslim League (IUML) leader KM Shaji has said Muslim organisations need to re-examine their approach towards guiding Muslim girls, pointing to what he described as a significant shift in their intellectual and political engagement. He made the remarks during a speech at the CH Mohammed Koya National Seminar held at the University of Calicut on September 27. CH Muhammed Koya was a social reformer and the 10th Chief Minister of Keralam. “Among Muslim girls, there has been a kind of significant change. I don&#039;t know whether we can call it progress, but there has been a jump. My concern is whether the community has truly understood how far these girls have come and how much they have developed over the years,” he said.Shaji questioned whether Muslim organisations were making enough efforts to guide the girls’ growth, address their needs, and positively shape their development. “Can anyone point to a time or place where we have clearly articulated how we should guide our girls?” he asked.He also claimed that Muslim girls constitute a significant proportion of the followers of atheist pages on social media. “If you look at some of the most popular atheist pages in Kerala, you will find that a large proportion of their followers are Muslim girls,” he added.“I have a feeling that there is a lot of thinking and reflection happening among Muslim girls. What kind of effort are we, as a community, making to take them forward? There are still many organisations among us that remain rigidly stuck in the same old ways, without making any meaningful transformation,” he said. He also added that CH Mohammed Koya had left the community with the responsibility of addressing such questions. ]]></description>

In a ruling on Monday, September 28, the Kerala High Court held that the Union government can invoke Section 100 of the Patents Act to override pharmaceutical patents to enable the government to manufacture and supply life-saving drugs to underprivileged patients on a non-commercial basis.The order was issued while considering a petition filed in 2022 by a woman seeking to reduce the cost of life-saving breast cancer drugs.The woman, identified as Sarojam Radhakrishan, who was diagnosed with advanced-stage breast cancer in 2021, approached the High Court in 2022 to make it affordable. She died while the case was pending, but her petition continues to be heard after the court took it up suo motu.Justice Harisankar V Menon delivered the order, clarifying that the government can invoke Section 100 of the Patents Act, 1970, if a patented life-saving medicine is being sold at an exorbitant price.Section 100 allows the Union government and those authorised by them to use any patented invention for government purposes at any time after a patent application has been filed or granted.“Section 100 of the Act is required to be invoked in circumstances where the government is required to intervene, such as an instance where a medicine manufactured on the basis of a patent is being sold at an exorbitant price. The government is required to collate the required data and arrive at a decision as to whether a particular medicine is affordable or not and, on that basis, proceed in accordance with Section 100 of the Act, if found necessary,” the order said.Following the diagnosis, Sarojam was prescribed three medicines – Ribociclib, Letrozole and Zoledronic Acid – which cost her Rs 63,480 per month. Though she and her husband had retired as bank employees and were not financially constrained, the expensive medical bills started taking a toll.In February 2022, Sarojam approached the Kerala High Court with a plea. She wanted the court to order compulsory licensing or have a government use licence to make these medicines affordable to people.Over the past four years, her case has been heard by eight different judges in 58 sessions and has been adjourned 40 times. Kerala woman’s legal fight for affordable cancer drugs lives on after her death ]]></description>

<title>Case against actor Lakshmi Priya over Ansiba Hassan’s complaint</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/case-against-actor-lakshmi-priya-over-ansiba-hassans-complaint</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Police have registered a case against actor Lakshmi Priya on the directions of a Kerala court, based on a private complaint by actor Ansiba Hassan. The case was registered by Palarivattam police station in Kochi city limits.Ansiba had alleged that Lakshmi Priya made sexually coloured remarks against her and defamed her by spreading undesirable comments about her. She said that despite approaching the police several times, no FIR was registered in the matter. Subsequently, she moved a private complaint before the Ernakulam Judicial First Class Magistrate IX Court, which directed the police to register a case. The court has also directed a probe against two representatives of CAN Channel, a YouTube channel which aired Lakshmi Priya’s interview, Live Law reports.Lakshmi Priya has been booked under Section 75(iv) (sexual harassment) and Section 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and Sections 67 publishing/transmitting obscene material), 67A (transmitting/publishing sexual content) of the IT Act.Ansiba and Lakshmi Priya’s conflict is tied to the chaos in A.M.M.A (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists), after actor Shwetha Menon became President in August 2025.The immediate controversy began in May this year when Ansiba publicly levelled allegations against members of A.M.M.A’s leadership and resigned from her post. She alleged that she had faced humiliation and unfair treatment within the association, including Islamophobia.Ansiba said that A.M.M.A executive committee member Tini Tom accused her of “jihad” and attempting “religious conversion of other members of the association”. Tini Tom later denied the allegations, brushing them off as “hearsay”. Ansiba also alleged that she did not receive any sort of support from the organisation’s executive committee, including Swetha.The dispute escalated after a series of public statements and press interactions involving Lakshmipriya gained traction. ]]></description>

<title>KSRTC conductor suspended after questioning student’s gender, denying zero&#45;fare ticket</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/ksrtc-conductor-suspended-after-questioning-students-gender-denying-zero-fare-ticket</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.A bus conductor with the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has been suspended from service following allegations that he verbally abused and harassed a Class 12 student and denied her a zero-fare ticket on a Priyadarshini bus. The Priyadarshini Scheme is a Kerala government initiative that provides free bus travel to women and transgender persons on designated ordinary KSRTC buses. Under the scheme, conductors issue zero-fare tickets through electronic ticketing machines to record the passenger’s journey. The incident took place on a Priyadarshini limited-stop bus operating on the Guruvayur-Ernakulam route. According to reports, the student, who had trimmed her hair after a trip to Tirupati, asked for a zero-fare ticket, but the conductor allegedly refused to issue one. He also allegedly questioned her gender in front of other passengers, asking them whether she “looked like a woman”. Speaking to Asianet News, the student said she was travelling with four friends, who were issued zero-fare tickets without any difficulty. “The conductor didn&#039;t give me the zero ticket. Even after I told him that I was a girl, he did not listen to me. He said he could not open my dress and check whether I was a girl or not. He then called everyone around and asked them, pointing at me, ‘Is she looking like a girl?’” she said.She said the conductor later issued her a regular ticket and asked her to pay the fare. “He told me that he had already entered the ticket and I had to pay that amount. Then we got off the bus before our stop,” she said.The student also alleged that some passengers behaved badly towards her and her friends and made inappropriate remarks.Following a formal police complaint at the Paravur police station, the KSRTC Vigilance Wing conducted a preliminary inquiry into the incident. The inquiry found serious misconduct and lapses in the conductor’s behaviour, following which the KSRTC chairman ordered his immediate suspension. ]]></description>

<title>Rajeev Chandrasekhar’s election challenged, Sabarinadhan tells court Rs 91 cr assets undeclared</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.The election petition filed by former Congress MLA KS Sabarinadhan in the Kerala High Court argues that the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Rajeev Chandrasekhar had suppressed properties worth Rs 91.64 crore in his election affidavit. It also alleges that he understated the book value of his holdings in several companies and concealed a liability to the financial institution Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) Limited that, with interest, could exceed Rs 200 crore.Sabarinadhan had contested elections on a Congress ticket against Rajeev in the Nemom constituency in Thiruvananthapuram in the April 2026 Keralam Assembly elections.Rajeev Chandrasekhar, who won the election with a majority of 4,978 votes, is also the state president of the BJP. Sabarinadhan, who came in third in the elections, is the general secretary of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee. His petition, filed on July 31, argues that Chandrasekhar suppressed a true account of his assets and liabilities in his election affidavit and calls for voiding the election results.Sabarinadhan contends that the electorate of the Nemom Assembly Constituency was deprived of material information that it was constitutionally entitled to receive before casting votes. “The suppression impaired the ability of voters to evaluate the financial affairs and business interests of Rajeev Chandrasekhar and thereby interfered with the free exercise of informed electoral choice,” the petition says.It further states that the electors of the Nemom constituency predominantly comprise middle-class and agrarian families. “The financial disclosures made by the candidates constitute a material factor enabling electors to assess and compare the background, economic status, and suitability of candidates seeking election. By suppressing assets of substantial value and substantial liability, thereby underestimating his actual wealth, [Rajeev Chandrasekhar] prevented the electorate from making an informed choice based on complete and accurate information,” the petition argues.Sabarinadhan seeks to have Rajeev Chandrasekhar’s election declared void, alleging that his nomination was improperly accepted due to the non-disclosure of material assets, liabilities and the actual value of his shareholdings and that the suppression of this information amounted to undue influence and corrupt practice under Section 123(2) of the Representation of the People Act; and that the omissions amounted to non-compliance with Section 33A, Rule 4A, and Form 26, affecting the election result.Sabarinadhan’s contention of improper disclosure of assets and liabilities is based on Chandrasekhar’s alleged undeclared properties and financial commitments. According to the petition, Chandrasekhar declared immovable assets worth Rs 15.07 crore and total liabilities of Rs 107.39 crore. Properties worth Rs 91.64 croreAccording to the petition, Chandrasekhar did not disclose two properties he owned in Bengaluru’s Koramangala 3rd block.One of them, property ID 68-2-408, has a site area of 38,206 sq ft and a built-up area of 49,000 sq ft, according to property records cited in the petition. The land has been valued at Rs 59.98 crore and the building at Rs 17.15 crore, putting the total value at Rs 77.13 crore.The petition also referred to property ID 68-2-445, with a site area of 9,240 sq ft and a built-up area of 19,620 sq ft. The land alone has been valued by the petitioner at Rs 14.50 crore.Together, the two properties have been valued at Rs 91.64 crore in the petition. Sabarinadhan alleges that Chandrasekhar deliberately omitted both properties from his election affidavit.Rajeev Chandrasekhar’s income surges, Congress flags property omissionChandrasekhar had declared immovable assets worth Rs 15.07 crore in his Form 26 election affidavit. The petition says this amount largely represented a property in Koramangala with property ID 68-2-419, for which Chandrasekhar had disclosed a market value of Rs 15.07 crore.The petition further alleges that Bengaluru city corporation records establish Chandrasekhar&#039;s ownership of the two properties that were allegedly not disclosed through property tax receipts and self-assessment forms.Huge gap in value of company holdingsThe petition also alleges that the value of Chandrasekhar&#039;s investments in several companies was substantially understated in his election affidavit.In his affidavit, Chandrasekhar declared shares worth Rs 26.60 lakh in RC Stocks and Securities Pvt Ltd. However, the petitioner, citing the company&#039;s financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies, alleged that the book value of Chandrasekhar&#039;s holding was Rs 15.54 crore. Book value reflects the shareholder’s proportionate share of the company’s net worth.Similarly, Chandrasekhar declared 4,67,460 shares in Jupiter Global Infrastructure Private Limited, at a value of just Rs 22,260. The petition says the book value of his holding ]]></description>

<title>‘Need safe homes’: 78 families of GCDA&#45;LIFE Mission flats in Kochi continue protest</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/need-safe-homes-78-families-of-gcda-life-mission-flats-in-kochi-continue-protest</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/need-safe-homes-78-families-of-gcda-life-mission-flats-in-kochi-continue-protest</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.In Keralam’s Ernakulam district, a two-year-old apartment complex built to rehabilitate low-income families may face demolition, as serious defects in construction and sanitation have rendered the building unlivable. Chief Minister VD Satheesan, on Saturday, September 26, declared that the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA)-LIFE Mission housing complex in Mundamveli will be demolished and residents rehabilitated. He added that detailed decisions regarding the same will be announced later.The Chief Minister’s statement came amid an indefinite strike held by 78 families currently living in the apartment complex, demanding better and safer homes.The Mundamveli GCDA-LIFE Mission apartment complex was built to rehabilitate low-income families from Kochi city’s P&amp;T Colony in 2024. They were moved to the newly built apartment after the Perandoor Canal repeatedly flooded the colony. The new homes came with multiple issues, prompting residents to protest for more than two months now.Leaky flats: 77 families relocated by Kochi Corporation face flooding nightmareNew home with multiple issues“Less than a month into our stay in the new flat, water started leaking from the roof during rains. The entire room flooded, making it impossible to sleep or even cook food,” said Lalitha, a resident who was sitting at the protest site on Saturday, the 67th day of the protest.Another resident, Rukmini, said that within a week of moving into the apartment complex, the septic tank filled up, causing sewage to overflow. “Normally, it would take years before the waste pit would need to be emptied. Here, the Corporation has arranged vehicles to dispose of the waste every day. If they don&#039;t come on one day, the entire toilet system gets blocked,” she said.Another issue raised by the residents are the cracks on the walls. “In our house, small cracks started appearing initially. Later, the plaster began to break apart like powder. We are worried about how much structural strength this flat actually has,” said Dhanalakshmi, another resident.They also complained about electric shocks, especially during the rainy season.Abhilash, the apartment’s residents’ association president, said neither the GCDA nor the Kochi Corporation show any willingness to address their issues. “Whenever we approach the GCDA with an issue, they tell us to go to the Corporation. When we approach the Corporation, they tell us to go to the GCDA. We are like orphans here,” he added.Following the Chief Minister’s declaration that the apartment complex at Mundamveli would be demolished and residents rehabilitated, the families expressed happiness. However, they said they will not stop their protest until they get a definite solution. “We won’t stop our protest because of the Chief Minister’s promise. We do not need promises. In 2018, they (previous LDF government) made a promise, and we had to wait until 2024. Our children cannot be expected to wait like this again in the future,” Abhilash said. ]]></description>

<title>Who decided on nationwide SIR? EC’s RTI response raises questions</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/who-decided-on-nationwide-sir-ecs-rti-response-raises-questions</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/who-decided-on-nationwide-sir-ecs-rti-response-raises-questions</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Election Commission (EC) in an RTI inquiry said that it has not taken any decision to initiate a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across the country in 2025. Activist Anjali Bharadwaj, co-convenor of the National Campaign for People&#039;s Right to Information (NCPRI), had filed the RTI application on July 28, 2025, about a month after the EC announced on June 24 that SIR would be undertaken, beginning with Bihar. Anjali had sought details of studies or analyses conducted for the SIR, reference numbers and copies of the relevant files to ascertain who decided on the SIR process and how.In response to her RTI, Election Commission Principal Secretary TC Kom stated, “Appellant is informed that the Commission has so far not taken any decision on initiating a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) across the country in 2025 and hence no information to be provided in this regard.”The response raises questions about the decision-making process behind the SIR exercise. The EC is the constitutionally mandated body responsible for the conduct and supervision of elections and electoral-roll revisions.The RTI response is particularly significant because it came after the EC had publicly announced the commencement of SIR in Bihar and indicated that the exercise would subsequently be taken up across the country.The RTI reply accessed by TNM also shows the Principal Secretary stating that the Chief Public Information Officer (CPIO) had not provided the requisite files sought by Anjali, “as the requisite information is not available with him in any material form.”“Such a response can only come up if the Election Commission itself had not taken the decision on the SIR. I had asked for the copy of the files and they didn’t have them, showing that they did not decide on the SIR. So who made the decision? Was it the PMO or the Ministry of Home Affairs? These are the questions that then arise, and these are serious questions on the independence of this constitutionally mandated body,” she told TNM.Anjali’s RTI reply became a talking point a day after an investigative report published by The Indian Express on September 23 reported that Election Commissioners Sukhbir and Vivek had raised 14 objections pertaining to electoral-roll revisions over the past 10 months and had disagreed with the CEC on multiple counts. ]]></description>

<title>SIR voters need not attend hearings in most cases, says poll panel</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Amid reports of growing differences between Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday, September 26, announced a series of measures to ease the process for voters.The full Commission, comprising Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sandhu and Joshi, met at the ECI headquarters in New Delhi on Saturday. It announced that voters who have received SIR notices for being “unmapped” or having logical discrepancies will generally not have to appear before election officials.Instead, Booth Level Officers (BLOs) will visit their homes to collect documents and upload them on the ECINET system. The Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) will then decide the matter based on the documents, the Commission said.The move comes as the poll panel faces mounting scrutiny over the SIR exercise and reports of disagreements among its members. The Indian Express has reported that Sandhu and Joshi had raised objections on several occasions over decisions and orders relating to SIR.The ECI has maintained that differences of opinion and observations are part of institutional deliberations. In Saturday’s press note, it also sought to emphasise that the SIR decisions were taken with the unanimous approval of the full Commission.SIR hearings to be held only in exceptional casesUnder the new arrangement, voters who receive notices during SIR will not ordinarily be required to appear at the office of the ERO or Assistant ERO.Hearings will be held only in exceptional circumstances, as decided by the ERO, and will preferably be conducted online, the ECI said.If a hearing is required, an elector can authorise any adult member of their family to appear on their behalf. The Commission said facilities for online hearings would also be strengthened.District Election Officers (DEOs) have been directed to establish help desks and hold special camps, depending on local requirements, for people living in night shelters, labourers, poor people and homeless persons.ECI stresses SIR orders were unanimousThe Commission&#039;s press note repeatedly emphasised that the SIR exercise had been approved unanimously.It said the June 24, 2025 order initiating SIR across all states and union territories, beginning with Bihar and followed by West Bengal and 30 other states and UTs, was approved unanimously.The Commission said the order was subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court in its May 27, 2026 order.It added that the SIR schedules issued for 12 states and UTs on October 27, 2025, and for another 19 states and UTs on May 14, 2026, were also approved unanimously.Form 6 declaration, ECINET under reviewThe ECI said the declaration attached to Form 6 for SIR had been upheld by the Supreme Court. For periods outside SIR, forms prescribed under the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, will be used, it said.The Commission also announced a review of ECINET, the portal used by election officials.A committee headed by a Senior Deputy Election Commissioner and including an independent expert from an IIT or IIIT will examine whether the system complies with the relevant Acts and Rules and submit a report to the Commission.The ECI said field officials currently have role-based access to ECINET according to their statutory powers. It added that several upgrades had already been made based on inputs from state Chief Electoral Officers and that further flexibility required by field officials would be introduced.Going forward, new initiatives concerning IT modules and portals will first be discussed by the Committee of Officers before being placed before the Commission for approval.Delhi, Maharashtra get more timeThe ECI has extended the deadline for filing claims and objections in Delhi to October 30, 2026. The deadline for disposal of notices, claims and objections has been extended to November 30.In Maharashtra, claims and objections can now be filed until October 12, while their disposal has been extended to November 10.Both extensions followed requests from the respective Chief Electoral Officers, the ECI said.SIR completed in 20 states, says ECIThe Commission said SIR has been completed in 20 states and union territories, including Bihar and West Bengal.Those whose names were left out during or after SIR, including young and first-time voters, can apply to the concerned ERO for inclusion through continuous updation, the ECI said.The Commission has directed Chief Electoral Officers, DEOs and EROs to launch a special drive to enrol such voters.In Goa, BLOs have been directed to visit voters who were left out of the exercise and collect their forms. Of 97 such voters, 81 have already filled Form 6, according to the ECI.ECI issues other administrative directionsThe Commission also announced changes to its internal functioning.Agendas for Commission meetings will be circulated in advance and minutes will be issued, it ]]></description>

<title>Former Kerala Chief Secretary says Gyanesh Kumar asked him to contest on a BJP seat</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.Amid allegations of autocratic decision-making within the Election Commission against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, retired Administrative Service (IAS) officer and former Kerala Chief Secretary Jiji Thomson has claimed in an interview with OnManorama that Gyanesh Kumar had previously persuaded him to contest a BJP election candidacy. The alleged offer was made in 2016, when Gyanesh Kumar was in service. Jiji Thomson stated that the conversation took place in 2016 on a flight to Delhi while he was still serving as Kerala’s Chief Secretary. He also clarified that he had declined the offer.Jiji Thomson is a retired 1980-batch IAS officer of the Kerala cadre who served as the Chief Secretary of Kerala in 2015-16 in the Oommen Chandy-led Congress government.“We had a good friendship. He asked me what my plan was after retirement, and I said, I don’t have much. Then, he advised that the best option was to contest the 2019 election as a BJP candidate and become an MP and a cabinet Minister,” Jiji Thomson told Asianet News.He told OnManorama that Gyanesh Kumar was very persuasive. “I declined it promptly,” he said.Jiji Thomson also said that Gyanesh Kumar was highly vocal and open about his support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#039;s growing popularity in Kerala. He said that, even after he declined the BJP seat, Gyanesh further tried to persuade him to enter politics.This revelation comes amid Gyanesh Kumar facing severe political scrutiny following The Indian Express’s investigation report. The IE report said that two fellow Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, formally recorded objections 14 times over 10 months regarding decisions made during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The investigative report by IE spurred the opposition, led by the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi, to demand Gyanesh’s resignation. On September 25, nationwide protests occurred in many places as opposition parties and youth groups demanded the immediate resignation and arrest of Gyanesh Kumar. Gyanesh Kumar is a retired 1988-batch IAS officer of the Kerala cadre and currently serves as the 26th CEC of India. He took charge on February 19, 2025, succeeding Rajiv Kumar.Gyanesh Kumar: The making of India’s divisive chief election commissioner ]]></description>

<title>Kerala ministers accepting private hospitality: CM’s defence raises questions of propriety</title>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/kerala-ministers-accepting-private-hospitality-cms-defence-raises-questions-of-propriety</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ​Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan is facing sharp criticism over propriety, transparency, and potential conflict of interest after using a private aircraft, sponsored by a friend, for official travel.While Satheesan defended the September 21 flight from Thiruvananthapuram to Kozhikode as an urgent response to a deadly landslide in Malappuram, his insistence that he sees no issue with accepting private hospitality for government duties has raised concerns about the ethical boundaries of those holding high public office.“I have not taken a single rupee for my trip. I had to reach Malappuram on September 21 after attending a programme in Sivagiri, following the landslide in which six people died. Otherwise, you would have reported that the Chief Minister did not visit even after six people had died,” Satheesan said.Satheesan said he did not see anything wrong with accepting privately arranged travel for official work and doubled down saying he would do so again.“When I was trying to travel, an acquaintance arranged an aircraft. What is wrong with that? Pinarayi Vijayan has also travelled in aircraft belonging to individuals. Former Chief Ministers, including Pinarayi Vijayan and Oommen Chandy, have done this. I will do this again,” he said.“All Chief Ministers in India do this. They travel in private individuals’ aircraft. You all know who owns aircraft in Kerala; they are all important people. If someone arranges an aircraft for the Chief Minister of Kerala to visit a disaster site, they will not come and ask for a favour in return,” Satheesan said.According to reports, the aircraft belonged to Kelachandra Logistics Private Limited in Bengaluru, a company owned by the family of Karnataka Energy minister KJ George. It was booked by Chipsan Aviation Pvt Ltd. It is unclear who footed the bill, fully or partially.Satheesan has also defended two other instances that have come under scrutiny: Local Self Government Minister KM Shaji’s use of a friend’s Range Rover as his official vehicle and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala’s US trip, sponsored by a private individual.Is the Chief Minister&#039;s defence valid?​Legal experts TNM spoke to said by accepting a charter flight sponsored by an acquaintance for official duty, the Chief Minister breached key provisions of the Code of Conduct for Union and state ministers issued by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.One of the clauses, 4.1(a), specifically restricts ministers from receiving valuable gifts or private hospitality and air travel could be deemed as one.The Code says a minister should “not accept valuable gifts except from close relatives” and that neither the minister nor members of their family should accept gifts from anyone with whom the minister has official dealings.Advocate Thulasi K Raj, who practises in the Supreme Court, said the issue has to be viewed through the standards expected of people holding public office.“It is highly improper for a Chief Minister to accept a private sponsorship of a flight for official travels,” she said.Thulasi also referred to Clause 3(1)(a) of the Code of Conduct, which prohibits ministers from accepting political, charitable or other contributions. “In addition to this, The Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, prohibits public servants from taking illegal gratification,” she said.For Thulasi, the larger concern is the potential conflict that can arise when a private party provides a benefit to a public office-holder.“Going by our norms of political propriety and avoidance of conflict of interest, it is highly improper for a chief minister to accept a private sponsorship of a flight for official travels. He must never put himself in a situation where he will have to choose between public interest and private interest,” she said. By engaging with undisclosed private parties and receiving sponsorship of this nature, the Chief Minister is compromising the dignity of his office, she added.Thulasi also said Satheesan’s assurance that no favour would be sought or given does not, by itself, address the concern.“It is precisely to avoid such potential scenarios why ministers and persons in high offices are expected to act with responsibility. The foundation of democracy rests on public servants safeguarding principles of political decency in their official conduct,” she said.Former Lok Sabha Secretary General PDT Achary said there is no law that specifically deals with these matters. “These are largely left to the discretion and good sense of ministers. After all, ministers are senior politicians and public figures, and they should know what they should and should not do,” Achary said.He said ministers were under constant public scrutiny and should be conscious that their actions and statements were being watched.“The concern when a minister accepts hospitality from a private individual or a company is that the person may subsequently receive some favour from the minister at the expense of the state,” he said.According to him, the po ]]></description>

<title>SIT files chargesheet in Ayodhya Ram temple case, finds 105 instances of cash theft</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/sit-files-chargesheet-in-ayodhya-ram-temple-case-finds-105-instances-of-cash-theft</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/sit-files-chargesheet-in-ayodhya-ram-temple-case-finds-105-instances-of-cash-theft</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Uttar Pradesh Police Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Wednesday, September 23, filed a chargesheet against eight accused in the alleged theft and embezzlement of donations at the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The chargesheet, comprising around 74,000 pages along with supporting documents, annexures, exhibits and other evidence, was filed before a local court.The chargesheet was filed roughly 90 days after the case was registered. Kul Shekhar Singh of the Legal Aid Defence Council, who represents the accused, said the chargesheet was filed by the investigating officer under various provisions, including those relating to criminal breach of trust and the Prevention of Corruption Act.The eight accused named in the case are Avinash Shukla, Lavkush Mishra, Anukalp Mishra, Manish Kumar Yadav, Karunesh Pandey, Ramashankar Mishra, Ram Shankar Yadav alias Tinnu Yadav and Subhash Srivastava. They are currently in judicial custody.Senior Superintendent of Police (Ayodhya) Gaurav Grover said the chargesheet had been accepted by the court and was filed under various provisions, including those relating to criminal breach of trust and the Prevention of Corruption Act. The document runs to around 74,000 pages.The chargesheet comes days after the SIT submitted a status report to the Supreme Court on its investigation. The SIT told the Supreme Court that CCTV footage from the counting room at the temple’s Pilgrim Facility Centre (PFC), along with other digital evidence, had revealed 105 instances of unauthorised removal or concealment of currency.The SIT said the instances involved assistance from other people participating in the counting process. Investigators examined CCTV footage, witness statements, searches and recoveries, bank and financial records, property-related documents, mobile data, call detail records, forensic evidence and other documentary and electronic material.The investigation also found no discrepancies in the handling of certain valuables and donations. These included 200 kg of silver bricks, 38.288 kg of silver bricks, a silver necklace, Charan Paduka and a donation related to the Ramcharitmanas.During the investigation, police recovered around Rs 79.8 lakh from seven of the eight accused. No cash or valuables were recovered from Subhash Srivastava.Most of the accused were involved in counting cash donations at the temple. Srivastava was in charge of the donation-counting process, while Tinnu Yadav worked as a driver and was a close aide of former general secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Champat Rai.The FIR in the case was registered on June 25 at the Ram Janmabhoomi police station following a complaint by Krishna Mohan, a member of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The investigation was subsequently taken up by the SIT constituted by the Uttar Pradesh government.The filing of the chargesheet led to a protest by lawyers at the Ayodhya District Court. Local advocates halted work and went on strike after learning that the chargesheet had been filed. They gathered outside the court of the Special Judge under the Prevention of Corruption Act.The lawyers said they had earlier raised objections and sought an inquiry into the alleged roles of former Trust officials Champat Rai, Anil Mishra and Gopal Rao.Ayodhya Bar Association president Kalika Prasad Mishra said the lawyers had earlier submitted an application to the police seeking an inquiry into the three officials. The three were not named in the chargesheet.Champat Rai has since resigned as general secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, while Anil Mishra was a member of the Trust. Gopal Rao was often invited to Trust meetings as a special invitee.The filing of the chargesheet also affected the bail proceedings of the accused. The bail applications of Subhash Srivastava and Ramashankar alias Tinnu Yadav, which were scheduled for Wednesday, were deferred to Thursday after objections were raised by the local bar association.Advocate Kul Shekhar Singh said the defence had not yet received a copy of the chargesheet.“Once we receive the copy of the chargesheet, which runs into thousands of pages, further legal action or response from our side will be decided,” Singh said.A special court had on Monday rejected the bail applications of Avinash Shukla, Manish Kumar Yadav and Ram Shankar Mishra, while on Tuesday it rejected the bail pleas of Anukalp Mishra, Lav Kush Mishra and Karunesh Pandey.Singh said the judicial custody of the six accused whose bail applications were rejected had subsequently been extended by 14 days.The SIT had informed the Supreme Court that it would file its first chargesheet by September 25. The filing on September 23 comes two days ahead of that deadline. ]]></description>

<title>SIR process: Indian Express investigation raises critical questions on EC’s conduct</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/sir-process-ie-investigation-raises-critical-questions-on-ecs-conduct</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/sir-process-ie-investigation-raises-critical-questions-on-ecs-conduct</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a span of 10 months, two Election Commissioners have formally objected at least 14 times to decisions related to the Special Intensive Revisions (SIR), says an investigative report by ‘The Indian Express’. Election Commissioners - Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi - had taken stands against Election Commission’s multiple decisions related to SIR, including changes in Form 6 for the registration of new voters and centralised access to electoral roll database.  As per the report by Ritika Chopra published on September 23, the Election Commission went ahead with the decision to change Form 6 despite objections by the two Election Commissioners. The Form 6 was changed in July, where new voters had to declare whether their names or their parents’ names were part of the last SIR in the early 2000s.  The Indian Express reported that Joshi had warned against changes in Form 6 without making amendments in the Registration of Electoral Rules. Sandhu concurred with Joshi in the file. In a later note, Sadhu has termed the changes ‘unauthorised and illegal’ and asked why the new form was not removed from the portal. Despite objections, the EC went ahead with the new Form 6.  Centralised access While Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) have the responsibility for preparation and control of each constituency’s voter’s list, gradual centralisation of the electoral roll database happened while SIR was gathering pace. The report said that the Election Commissioners - Sandhu and Joshi - have noted the complaints of election officials that they don’t have proper and complete access to the ERONet portal, the digital system through which they maintain the electoral roll. They demanded steps to ensure that statutory authorities (EROs) have the complete access and freedom to maintain the electoral roll.  The IE report said that the two ECs even wrote to Cabinet secretary TV Somananthan flagging issues over the centralisation of electoral roll databases and ECINet, successor of ERONet, restricting powers of officers on ground. The move came after a decision on work allocation related to IT files was taken without the knowledge of two Commissioners.  Who filed the appeals? Another dispute was related to the SIR in West Bengal where appeals were filed by the EC against voters added by the judicial officers. Tribunals of retired High Court judges were tasked by the Supreme Court to hear appeals against voter deletions in West Bengal. Around 16.10 lakh appeals were filed by EC against voters added by the judicial officers. The IE report said that neither the election commissioners nor the Chief Electoral Officer of West Bengal had been informed of the basis or process of filing the appeals.  Other concerns raised by the Election Commissioners were related to the restoration of 97 eligible voters in the electoral roll of Goa. Though the EROs made several requests to the ECI’s IT wing, it couldn&#039;t be done because the software did not have an option to restore the voters. As per rule, Chief Election Commissioner and two Election Commissioners are equal in rank and all business of the Commission should be transacted unanimously. If there is a difference in opinion, a decision shall be made based on the opinion of the majority.  In a press statement issued following the report, the Election Commission said that differing views and observations were a normal part of a deliberation in any institution and that all decisions were unanimous in the past one year. It noted that ECINet was operating under strict data security protocols to prevent unauthorised tampering, manipulations etc. The statement, however, did not deny any of the developments mentioned in the report. ]]></description>

<title>Inter&#45;faith marriage entitled to benefits under inter&#45;caste marriage reservation: Kerala HC</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/inter-faith-marriage-entitled-to-benefits-under-inter-caste-marriage-reservation-kerala-hc</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/inter-faith-marriage-entitled-to-benefits-under-inter-caste-marriage-reservation-kerala-hc</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Kerala High Court has held that an inter-religious marriage must also be taken into account while considering entitlement to benefits under the reservation category meant for inter-caste married persons.Justice Harisankar V Menon passed the order on September 15 while disposing of a petition filed by Jisha (40), of Kottayam, who had been appointed as a farm employee under the “Misra Vivahitha” (inter-caste married) reservation category.Jisha Thomas, who belongs to the Roman Catholic Christian community, is married to Nishu Soman, who belongs to the Hindu religion and the Pulaya community, categorises as a Scheduled Caste.Jisha was appointed to the post by the Principal Agricultural Officer, Kottayam, under the reservation category. She was subsequently required to produce documents supporting her claim to the reservation within the prescribed period.She relied on an inter-caste marriage certificate issued by the Tahsildar, Vaikom, on February 1, 2007. The certificate stated that Jisha was married to Soman and described their marriage as an “inter-caste marriage”.However, when the authorities later insisted that she produce a recent certificate, Jisha approached the Tahsildar, Meenachil, seeking an inter-caste marriage certificate. The application was rejected on the ground that she and her husband belonged to different religions, and therefore their marriage could not be considered an inter-caste marriage.The Tahsildar subsequently issued another certificate on October 31, 2022, certifying that Jisha belonged to the Christian religion under the Roman Catholic category, while her husband belonged to the Hindu religion and the Pulaya category.The certificate was also not accepted by the Senior Agricultural Officer at the State Seed Farm, Kozha, following which Jisha approached the High Court.In November 2022, the High Court had directed the Agriculture Officer to provisionally accept the certificate and allow Jisha to take charge pursuant to her appointment, subject to the outcome of the petition. She subsequently joined duty, but her appointment was not regularised.Before the High Court, the State argued that the certificates produced by Jisha only showed that she was an inter-faith married person and could not be relied upon to extend the benefit of the reservation under which she had been appointed.The government also relied on Clause 246 of the Village Office Manual, submitting that only an “inter-caste marriage certificate” could be issued under the provision and that a marriage between persons belonging to different religions was not eligible for such a certificate.The High Court, however, held that the issue had to be considered in the context of the reservation category under which Jisha had been appointed.“Since the petitioner’s appointment is under the category of ‘Misra Vivahitha’, the benefits there under require to be extended based on Exts.P5 as well as P8 (the interfaith marriage certificates produced before court, certified by the Tahsildar),” the court said.The court noted that the certificates established that Jisha belonged to the Christian religion while her husband belonged to the Hindu religion.“In the opinion of this Court, an inter-religion marriage also requires to be taken note of while considering the entitlement pursuant to the benefits considered and extended pursuant to Ext.P4 order(the appointment letter of Jisha),” Justice Menon held.The court consequently directed the Senior Agricultural Officer to regularise Jisha’s appointment on the basis of the certificates she had produced.“Needless to say that the consequential benefits require to be extended to the petitioner forthwith,” the court added.The judgment thus directs the authorities to extend the benefit of the inter-caste marriage reservation category to Jisha, despite the marriage being between persons belonging to different religions, and to regularise her appointment accordingly. ]]></description>

<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/veteran-theatre-and-film-actor-savithri-sreedharan-passes-away</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Veteran actor Savithri Sreedharan, best known for her role in the Malayalam film Sudani From Nigeria (2018), died on Wednesday, September 23. She was 83 years old and was suffering from age-related ailments. A part of several Kozhikode-based theatre groups for over four decades, Savithri rose to fame after she played the role of the mother in Sudani From Nigeria. The character earned her a special mention at the 66th National Film Awards, 2018. In a strong political statement, Savithri decided to boycott the award ceremony held in 2019, along with the other crew members of Sudani, as a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, citing that the Act divides people based on religion.A veteran presence in the Malayalam theatre world, Savithri was associated with famous theatre groups in Kozhikode, including Kalimga, Sangamam, Stage India, and Chiranthana Theatres. She has performed several powerful women characters across a thousand plays in her illustrious stage career.Her talent earned her the Kerala government’s award for Best Theatre Artist in 1977 and 1993 and the Kerala Sangeetha Nadaka Academi Award for Drama in 2009.Savithri made her silver screen debut in the 1991 Malayalam film Kadavu, scripted, directed, and produced by MT Vasudevan Nair. She also appeared in Salim Bavba’s 2010 Malayalam film Valiyangadi and a couple of short films before her role in Sudani From Nigeria.Apart from a special mention at the 2018 National Awards, Sudani also earned her the Kerala State Award for Best Character Actress, the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress–Malayalam, and the Asianet Award for Best Supporting Actress. Following the widespread appreciation, Savithri went on to act in several other Malayalam films, including Virus, Pada, Ittymani From China, Paappan, and Christy, among others.Savithri passed away at her residence in Kozhikode’s Mankavu. ]]></description>

<title>Kerala University’s draft to ban campus politics triggers row, SFI alleges it targets them</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links. A controversy erupted in Keralam after a proposal for the Students&#039; Code of Conduct Regulations of the Kerala University recommended prohibiting student political activities across all college campuses and affiliated institutions. Titled the Kerala University (Students&#039; Code of Conduct) Regulations, 2026, the document served as an initial draft of the University’s recommendations to the Kerala High Court, which is currently hearing a plea seeking prohibition of campus politics across the state.The draft, which prohibits political activities on campus, however allows academic discussion of political subjects under stated conditions. It also makes students liable for disciplinary action for engaging in any political activities. This leaked draft Regulations invited much criticism. Unlike several other Indian states where campus politics is strictly banned, Kerala has a vibrant, deeply rooted student movement integrated with various mainstream political parties.The Kerala University has witnessed multiple student protests. This includes demonstrations against Vice Chancellor Mohanan Kunnummel, conducted by the Students&#039; Federation of India (SFI), the student wing of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)]. Mohanan Kunnummel, has made headlines on many occasions by attending Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) events and making statements favouring RSS. Senior CPI(M) leader and leader of opposition in Keralam Pinarayi Vijayan condemned the draft. He said the University is trying to ban politics and political consciousness from the campus because it is afraid of the generation that will ask questions. “It is clear that the agenda behind such decisions is of those disturbed by the student movements that have emerged in the country,” he said. Amid growing backlash, Congress leader and Higher Education Minister Roji M John clarified that the circulating material is an unapproved administrative draft. Reaffirming the UDF government&#039;s stance, he said campus democracy remains crucial to political life and will not be prohibited in Kerala.“We firmly believe political engagement must exist in colleges. A misleading narrative is being spread claiming that this discussion paper represents an official resolution. No step will be taken under our tenure to suppress student political participation in any manner,” the Minister told reporters following the outcry. Minister Roji also said that the suggestions in the draft are based on the guidelines issued by Mahatma Gandhi (MG) University in 2005. While the 2005 rules officially ban political activities on paper, in practice, active student politics thrive across MG University and its affiliated colleges.Speaking to TNM, Kerala University Syndicate members and student representatives noted the draft Regulation is unlikely to become official policy, as many Syndicate members are strongly opposed to it. Meanwhile, SFI said the prohibition recommendations of the draft Regulation were targeted at their organisation as they are the dominant presence across Kerala University campuses.What the draft saysThe draft essentially bans campus politics, by restricting organised political activity on campus.According to the document, political activity includes any action, event, programme, or coordinated attempt by students inside the university. This includes promoting, advocating, or spreading the agenda, principles, or campaigns of political entities, displaying allegiance to any party, or engaging in actions linked with prohibited, illegal, or ‘anti-national’ groups. Furthermore, holding or attending gatherings, rallies, and drives aimed at furthering political agenda remains prohibited under the proposed rules.Students shall not use digital platforms to incite, organise, or propagate political activities affecting University functioning. Students acting collectively or individually outside the campus to influence University activities in political ways are also liable for disciplinary action. The draft mentioned that academic discussions, research, debates, or classroom activities conducted under faculty supervision, which are not linked to political mobilisation, are not considered political activity under these Regulations.The draft recommends that organising students or gatherings on campus for political activities be treated as serious misconduct. Each person involved will be held responsible, and the Principal or Head of Department can take disciplinary action. If such activity happens on the University campus, the Vice Chancellor can also act.Draft, not policy In February this year, the Kerala High Court had directed the syndicates of various universities in Keralam to formulate a mechanism to regulate political activities of students on campuses and to ensure the maintenance of discipline. The direction came in the backdrop of the political killing of a student, Abhimanyu, in Ernakulam&#039;s Maharaja’s College in 2 ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.The Kerala High Court on Tuesday, September 22 granted regular bail to Reporter TV managing director Anto Augustine in the Excise case registered over the alleged possession of excess liquor at his residence in Wayanad.Justice Kauser Edappagath granted bail subject to conditions.The case was registered by the Excise Department’s Kalpetta station under Sections 55(a), 55(i) and 58 of the Kerala Abkari Act. The allegations relate to the possession of liquor in quantities beyond what is legally permitted.The Excise Department has alleged that officials recovered 43.850 litres of foreign-made foreign liquor, 1.224 litres of foreign-made foreign wine, 6.250 litres of Kerala State Beverages Corporation (KSBC) wine, 750 ml of Indian-made foreign liquor said to have been bought from a canteen, and 12.750 litres of another liquid containing alcohol.Anto was arrested on September 17 and subsequently remanded in judicial custody. His bail plea before the magistrate was rejected, following which the court allowed the police 24 hours of custody.While considering his bail plea, the High Court took note of the fact that the recovery had already been made in the case. The court also noted that Anto had no criminal antecedents.The arrest followed a search conducted by a Special Investigation Team at Anto’s residence as part of a separate investigation into alleged financial irregularities linked to an initiative to bring footballer Lionel Messi and the Argentina national football team to Kerala.The SIT was investigating Anto in that case when the liquor was allegedly found at his family home in Vazhavatta, Wayanad. The discovery was subsequently brought to the attention of the Excise Department, which registered the Abkari case.Anto had maintained after his arrest that he does not consume alcohol. He had also said that he had handed over the documents sought by investigators in connection with the financial case.The High Court’s Tuesday order relates to the Abkari case, while the detailed conditions attached to his bail are expected to be known once the order is made available. ]]></description>

<title>Union govt denies censor exemption to 31 films at Docu &amp;amp; Short Film Festival of Kerala</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/union-govt-denies-censor-exemption-to-31-films-at-docu-short-film-festival-of-kerala</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/union-govt-denies-censor-exemption-to-31-films-at-docu-short-film-festival-of-kerala</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has denied censor exemption to 31 films selected for the 18th International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala (IDSFFK), putting their scheduled screenings in doubt.The films include 18 from the festival’s official selection, nine from the International Non-Fiction section, three from the Festival Winners section and one from the Nepal Package. Malayalam film Globe is among the films that have not received the exemption.Films screened at festivals such as IDSFFK do not require a regular censor certificate. However, since they are not certified by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), organisers are required to obtain an exemption from the Union Ministry to screen them.IDSFFK is scheduled to take place from September 25 to 30.The Kerala State Chalachitra Academy had approached the ministry seeking exemption for 347 films selected for the festival. The Academy submitted synopses describing the content of the films along with its application. The ministry subsequently sought more detailed material for some films, following which screeners and detailed synopses of 40 films were submitted for scrutiny.Among the films denied exemption is Sanitised Republic: Cast(e) and Contracts. The documentary follows sanitation workers at Delhi’s Kalawati Saran Children’s Hospital and Lady Hardinge Medical College who continued working during the COVID-19 pandemic but lost their jobs in June 2022. Their efforts to secure employment and dignity form the backdrop for the film’s examination of contractual labour and the caste-linked nature of sanitation work.Another affected film, Parliament Street, looks at how public and personal memories intersect with the history associated with the Parliament street in Delhi, capturing its landmarks and everyday people.Several international documentaries on conflict and political upheaval are also on the list. Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk presents an intimate account of life in Gaza through video calls between filmmaker Sepideh Farsi and young Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassouna. This is also a haunting testament to resilience in everyday Gaza life. Memories of a Window centres on the protests in Iran and the way civilians documented the unrest from inside their homes. Birds of War draws on 13 years of personal archives belonging to a London-based Lebanese journalist and a Syrian activist, using their relationship against the backdrop of revolution, war and exile.The latest decision echoes a similar controversy at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) in December 2025. The Union government had then denied censor exemption to 19 films scheduled for the festival, including Palestinian films and the century-old Soviet film Battleship Potemkin. Some of the films on the original list were subsequently granted exemption following discussions between the state and Union governments. ]]></description>

<title>AG report gives legal nod for probe against Pinarayi Vijayan, daughter, son&#45;in&#45;law</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links.The Advocate General (AG) of Kerala has given a legal opinion advising that a First Information Report (FIR) and a formal investigation under the Prevention of Corruption Act can legally be initiated against the Opposition leader and former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T Veena, and son-in-law and former minister PA Mohamed Riyas.According to reports, the AG&#039;s office gave a nod for action, stating that the material and findings submitted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) provide sufficient basis and evidence to warrant a corruption case.The AG’s report the state government or Vigilance Department can either register the FIR directly for investigation or conduct a preliminary inquiry first, adding that past court rulings do not act as an absolute bar to registering a case given the fresh information and evidence presented by the ED.Recently, the ED wrote to the state police chief seeking registration of an FIR against the three and some others, based on evidence gathered during their probe and searches conducted under the PMLA.In August this year, ED conducted searches at nine premises in Kozhikode in connection with its investigation. Following the raid, ED claimed that handwritten notes of Veena Vijayan, containing details of around Rs 85 lakh allegedly transferred to Dubai, were seized by them. The agency has also alleged that the notes record transactions involving around Rs 20.05 crore in Indian currency.The case stems from the CMRL–Exalogic pay-off controversy, where Kochi-based firm Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL) allegedly paid Rs 2.78 crore to Veena&#039;s IT firm, Exalogic Solutions, without receiving actual services.Earlier in June, the Kerala High Court rejected an appeal filed by CMRL seeking to quash the ED case against it in connection with the alleged money laundering linked to Exalogic Solutions Pvt Ltd. A Division Bench comprising Justices Raja Vijayaraghavan V and KV Jayakumar upheld the May 26 order of single judge Justice TR Ravi, who had refused to interfere with the ED proceedings. ]]></description>

<title>Child rights panel asks schools to stop punishing students over long hair</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/keralam-child-rights-panel-asks-schools-to-stop-punishing-students-over-long-hair</link>
<guid>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/keralam-child-rights-panel-asks-schools-to-stop-punishing-students-over-long-hair</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links. Schools in Keralam cannot punish, harass, or discriminate against students simply because they choose to wear their hair long, the Kerala State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has said. The Commission has recommended that students, irrespective of gender, should be free to grow and maintain their hair according to their personal preference, while schools should focus on their education and personality development rather than their physical appearance.The order, issued by Commission member P Shajesh Bhaskar on September 15, says that boys, girls, and children who have not affirmed their gender identity should have the freedom to grow their hair in a manner suited to their preference. It also says that students who have not affirmed their gender identity should have the right to choose their preferred dress code.The Commission specifically recommended that school authorities must not mentally harass students, remove them from class, discriminate against them, or subject them to other disciplinary action because of the length of their hair or related matters.At the same time, students who grow their hair have a responsibility to maintain it cleanly and safely, ensuring that it does not obstruct their eyes or face. During laboratory activities, sports competitions, and practical classes, students with long hair must tie it up or secure it with a hair band where necessary for safety. The Commission also said that applying chemicals or colours to hair in a manner that could harm students’ health is not advisable.The Commission said that the issue must be viewed in the context of gender equality in education. It noted that although schools in Kerala claim to be gender-neutral, discrimination against boys and children who do not identify with a particular gender continues. The Commission said students’ rights, individuality, abilities, and wellbeing, rather than gender-based distinctions, should be at the centre of education.It also referred to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and Articles 14, 15, 21, and 21A of the Indian Constitution, relating to equality, non-discrimination, the right to life and dignity, and the right to education.The order came in response to two petitions considered together by the Commission. One was filed by writer Indu Menon, who raised concerns about restrictions imposed on boys and children who do not identify with a particular gender, including restrictions on growing their hair. The second was filed by a school principal, who sought guidance after a Class 11 boy repeatedly refused to cut his hair despite being asked to do so.In a Facebook post following the order, Indu said her fight over the issue began in 2014, when she complained to the Education Department after school authorities asked her then two-and-a-half-year-old son to cut his hair. She said she subsequently approached education officials at different levels and the Chief Minister, but did not receive a decision that addressed the broader issue.Indu said that, despite repeated complaints and the introduction of gender-neutral uniforms and policies in Kerala’s schools, restrictions on boys growing their hair continued. She said her son eventually cut his hair because he was afraid that continuing to challenge the school would make his life there more difficult.In its order, the Commission observed that neither the State Education Department nor the CBSE had so far issued guidelines on this matter. The CBSE Regional Director told the Commission that there were no specific directions on the matter and that schools could take decisions on such issues as part of their disciplinary framework.The Commission said allowing individual schools to frame their own rules had resulted in an inconsistent situation for students. It said the departments represented by the respondents were responsible for ensuring that students have a learning environment that protects their personal freedom and gender equality, without discrimination.It has therefore recommended that the State Education Department and CBSE issue guidelines concerning students growing their hair after conducting a detailed examination of the issue and hearing children’s views. The respondents have been directed to submit a report to the Commission on the action taken on these recommendations within 45 days of receiving a copy of the order. ]]></description>

<title>Operation Toofan: Kerala police struggle to deal with addicts</title>
<link>https://worldmalayaleevoice.com/operation-toofan-kerala-police-struggle-to-deal-with-addicts</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Kerala’s anti-narcotics campaign ‘Operation Toofan’, completed 100 days on September 9. The numbers are staggering: After the start of the campaign, till September 17, police have arrested 11,776 people in 10,918 cases. They also seized  23925.120 grams of MDMA and nearly 1457 kg of cannabis. But inside Kerala’s prisons and police stations, officers are confronting a different side of the drug problem: people exhibiting severe withdrawal symptoms, becoming violent in police stations and prisons, sometimes injuring themselves or others, and returning to drug use soon after they are released.One reason for this, according to investigators and mental health professionals, is the absence of protocols to identify what they have consumed or address their addiction when people are arrested with small quantities.Is Kerala’s war on drugs holistic?Aalam* was shaking and struggling to control himself while in police custody after being picked up during an Operation Toofan search. The 28-year-old migrant worker from Jharkhand said he was beaten both at the police station and inside prison, where fellow inmates accused him of being violent.“I get shivering and I might lose control. I had been using it for a while. I was beaten both in the police station and inside jail. Inside jail, I was beaten by other inmates. They said I was violent, but I don’t think I was,” Aalam, who was arrested twice under Operation Thoofan, told TNM.Aalam*, who lives in Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district, came to Kerala from Jharkhand six years ago and has worked in various odd jobs. He has wounds and bruises across his body.The MDMA recovered from him when he was first picked up was around 1 gram. The second time it was 0.5 grams.Aalam was bailed out by people known to him both the times with no help coming forth to address the addiction.Data from the first three months of Operation Toofan shows cases involving small quantities were 27 times more than those when commercial quantities were seized. Till September 1, police have registered 116 cases involving commercial quantities, compared to 3,127 cases involving small quantities. On September 10 alone, there was one commercial-quantity case and 24 small-quantity cases. Officials told TNM that those caught with small quantities are, in many cases, regular users or people carrying drugs to share within a small circle of friends. This is an indication that Kerala has now a large segment of people struggling with substance abuse. Yet, despite the scale of arrests, there is no dedicated system to assess their treatment needs and ensure rehabilitation. Prison and police officials say this leads to a revolving door scenario in which people experiencing withdrawal symptoms are managed as law-and-order problems, remanded in judicial custody, released on bail and often return to drug use.Under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, the classification of an offence is linked to the quantity of drug involved. For commonly seized substances, the small and commercial quantity thresholds are 5 grams and 250 grams for heroin, 1 kg and 20 kg for ganja, 100 grams and 1 kg for charas/hashish, 2 grams and 100 grams for cocaine, and 0.5 gram and 10 grams for MDMA, respectively.Operation ToofanOperation Toofan is built around three components: Toofan Strike, which focuses on enforcement, raids and seizures; Toofan Warriors, the awareness initiative; and Toofan Care, which is meant to support rehabilitation. The Home Department says the care component has brought 35 hospitals across Kerala into the programme to help people affected by drug use recover and return to their families and society. In a statement, Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala said, “The fight against drugs cannot end with arrests and seizures.Through Operation Toofan Care, 35 hospitals across Kerala have joined us to help people affected by drug use recover, rebuild their health and return to their families and society. Enforcement can break a drug network. Care can help rebuild a life.” He inaugurated this coordination with hospitals on September 10.  Under the programme, people can approach the Toofan Care helpline for help, following which the police coordinate with hospitals to facilitate treatment, including for withdrawal symptoms. A senior Excise officer said their department and the police follow the same procedure. “If a person is arrested for possession of any psychotropic substance, a case will be registered. If we receive information that a person is addicted but do not find any substance in their possession, we help shift them to the concerned rehabilitation centres,” the officer said.But this support mechanism does not appear to extend in the same way to people who are arrested for possessing small quantities and are in need of rehabilitation.Severe withdrawal symptomsInside prisons, the consequences for addicts are particularly stark. A district jail superintendent told TNM that several arrested people show se ]]></description>

<title>Reporter TV MD Anto Augustine arrested over excess liquor possession</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Follow TNM&#039;s WhatsApp channel for news updates and story links. The Kerala Excise Department arrested Anto Augustine, managing director and managing editor of Malayalam news channel Reporter TV, in the early hours of Thursday, September 17. He was taken into custody around 5 am from the news channel&#039;s office in Ernakulam and taken to Wayanad, his home town.According to reports, the arrest was recorded under non-bailable provisions of the Abkari Act following the discovery of a stash of liquor. During a raid, police uncovered roughly 67 litres of foreign liquor and wine at his family home in Vazhavatta, Wayanad, which exceeds the legally permissible limit for personal possession.Following his arrest, Anto was taken to the Aluva District Hospital for medical examination. Police told the media that he would be transported to Wayanad to be produced before the Sulthan Bathery Judicial First Class Magistrate Court.The arrest was made a day after a Special Investigation Team (SIT) conducted a search at Reporter Broadcasting Company headquarters in Ernakulam looking for digital evidence in an alleged financial fraud case. The case involves alleged cheating and financial irregularities connected to an initiative to bring football star Lionel Messi and the Argentina national football team to Kerala. Anto Augustine has been named as the primary accused in this case.The search by the SIT at his house was in connection with the financial fraud case; however, the team discovered an excessive amount of alcohol and alerted the Excise Department, leading to the Abkari case and arrest.Speaking to the media during the arrest, Anto said he never drinks. He also stated that he had provided all necessary documents regarding the financial case to the police.On September 16, the Thiruvananthapuram cyber crime police station registered the case against Anto Augustine and two unknown persons after he said the men approached him with papers alleging that Chief Minister VD Satheesan had illegally registered a second marriage in Karnataka in 2012.Earlier in August, two of the three Augustine brothers, key accused in the 2020 Muttil tree-felling case in Wayanad, surrendered before the Chottanikkara Judicial First Class Magistrate Court in Ernakulam in a separate cheating case linked to the alleged sale of illegally felled timber. Jose Kutty Augustine and Anto Augustine, the second and third accused in the case, surrendered after the court issued non-bailable warrants against them for failing to appear. Later, the magistrate court recalled the warrants against Jose Kutty and Anto after they appeared and granted them bail. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing alleged financial irregularities in the proposed Lionel Messi event in Kerala conducted searches at the Reporter Broadcasting Company (RBC) office in Kalamassery and the residences of its directors in Kochi and Wayanad on Wednesday, September 16, morning. Journalists working morning shift in the Reporter TV newsroom have alleged that the police took away their phones during the search.The searches were carried out based on a court warrant, according to investigation officer Bijoy Chandran. The SIT is probing allegations of financial loss to the government in connection with the initiative to bring Messi and the Argentina national football team to Kerala.“This search is based on the inquiry into the alleged loss caused to the government in connection with the promise to bring Messi to Kerala. And It was formed to enquire into this and we are here with a court warrant,” Chandran told the media during the search.He alleged that those at the premises were not cooperating with the police.“They are not cooperating with us. They are not ready to accept the search notice or open the premises for us. We have also informed them that they can communicate only in our presence until the search is over,” he said.The police reached the Reporter TV office in Kalamassery in the early hours as part of the searches at five locations.The SIT was formed to examine alleged irregularities surrounding the previous government&#039;s efforts to bring the Argentina team and Messi to Kerala. Its investigation covers the financial transactions associated with the proposed event, the process through which the private sponsor was selected and allegations of financial loss to the state.The probe had also flagged an alleged tax liability of Rs 25.78 crore involving Reporter Broadcasting Company Private Limited. The financial transactions linked to the proposed event included a reported remittance of around Rs 126 crore to the Argentine Football Association (AFA).The Reporter TV has played the police action. Journalists at the organisation said police entered the newsroom and seized their phones. They also questioned the police presence at the news desk and said the action disrupted the functioning of the newsroom.Pinarayi condemns police actionOpposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan strongly criticised the police action at the Reporter TV office, alleging that the search interfered with the functioning of journalists.“The Kerala Police action of entering the Reporter TV news desk and disrupting news transmission is highly condemnable,” Vijayan said in a statement.He alleged that a group of police personnel entered the Kochi news desk early in the morning and took away journalists&#039; phones.“An atmosphere of terror was created for around one-and-a-half hours. The police also recorded visuals of journalists,” he said.Vijayan described the action as an attack on media freedom and said the Chief Minister and Home Minister should respond to it.“The Chief Minister and the Home Minister are the ones who must answer for this attack on the media. I strongly condemn this despicable attack on media freedom,” he said.He also compared the police action to incidents involving media organisations in other parts of the country, including the police action against NewsClick, saying the incident in Kerala amounted to an attempt to silence the media.KUWJ condemns raidThe Ernakulam district committee of the Kerala Union of Working Journalists (KUWJ) also protested against the police action at the Reporter TV office.KUWJ Ernakulam district president R Gopakumar and secretary M Shajil Kumar said the police entry into a media organisation was “highly condemnable” and an act that interfered with journalists&#039; freedom to work.The committee said the seizure of journalists&#039; phones and the police presence at the news desk were unacceptable.It said complaints would be submitted to the Chief Minister, Home Minister and Director General of Police over the incident.The KUWJ district committee also said it had contacted the Home Minister&#039;s office and registered its strong protest against the police action.The searches are part of the SIT&#039;s wider investigation into the proposed Messi event and the financial and administrative decisions associated with the project. ]]></description>
