‘Be patriots, raise issues of our country’: Bombay HC rejects CPI(M)’s ‘untenable’ plea to hold protests against Gaza ‘genocide’ https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/bombay-hc-rejects-cpim-untenable-plea-protests-against-gaza-genocide-10149882/ 

The bench then dismissed the “untenable” plea on the ground of locus of the petitioner. Justice Gautam Ankhad, that police rejected the application on the ground that the protest was against the country’s foreign policy, and therefore it will create law and order situation the state government’s counsel said police had received objections to the proposed protest, and taking law and order situation into consideration, the authorities denied permission.

Later in the day, the CPI(M) politburo,  said in a statement: “While doing so, the court went to the extent of calling into question the patriotism of the party. Ironically, the bench appears to be unaware of either the provisions of the Constitution, which enshrines the rights of a political party, or the history of our country and our people’s solidarity with the Palestinians… The observations smack of distinct political bias in line with the central government.”

 What is happening to our country!! The judges should then question the Mahatma why he fought against racial discrimination in South Africa
Shameful .  @cpimspeak   must challenge this. We must stand against genocide perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians.

 Over 200 suspected 'illegal migrants' detained in Gurugram; 10 Bangladeshi nationals identified https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2025/Jul/24/over-200-suspected-illegal-migrants-detained-in-gurugram-10-bangladeshi-nationals-identified

Comment by  Karuna John POOR MUSLIMS OF WEST BENGAL: PERSECUTED BY HINDUTVA RULERS, ABANDONED BY CIVIL RIGHTS FORUMS AND EVEN BY INDIAN MUSLIM ORGANISATIONS!
My wife, Neelima Sharma and I have never felt so helpless and ashamed in life as for almost last 10 days we remained and continue to be spectators to brutal repression of West Bengal Indian Muslims. They are being rounded up by plainclothes men (many times abusive, no queries allowed) even in late night hours and taken to different police stations in Gurgaon. They were/are being picked up for being illegal migrants. The victims have alleged that before they were asked to produce papers, they were brutally thrashed for hours and then taken to one or more police stations to be given more doses of lawless justice. A trademark dialogue by thrasher/s is "YAHAN MAMTA DIDI KA RAJ NAHEEN HAE, MODI KA RAJ HAE' 
[Mamta does not rule here but Modi].
Many are released paying what 'price', nobody knows as victims are too fearful of the repercussions. The condition of the women of the families of the detainees outside detention centres is to be seen an believed. According to police many more are at detention centres as Aadhaar and voting cards or no more 'legal' documents to prove one’s Indian citizenship. 
I wrote a letter [The text of the letter is pasted below]
to West Bengal Resident Commissioner (Ms. Ujjaini Datta), Deputy Resident Commissioner (Mr. Rajdeep Datta), and Assistant Director of Information (Mr. Ashis Jana) on July 16, 2025, copied  to all PUCLs, their office-bearers. Since received no response from the Resident Commissioner’s office called at their office numbers. Till writing this note nobody has responded. 
In the meantime, victims known to us told that they come from a WB constituency which is represented by Trinamool Congress MLA, Ms. Rekha Roy. We also came to know that her husband Nukul Dada manages her affairs. We called his number ‪(+919775874794‬). He seemed to be in hurry, cut short my narration and disconnected. 
The most of victims are devout Muslims but even Indian Muslim organizations which we find leaving no stone unturned for enforcing Shariat, triple talaq and purdah are missing from the scene! 
Our contact in Kolkata, a dear friend, Dr. Fuad Halim informed that Comrade Ashadullah Gayen is incharge of CPM’s WB Migrant Workers Union. Fortunately, we could connect with him (M-9830202822). He informed that the family members or friends of the detained workers should contact him any time for getting Aaadhar verified urgently by the District Magistrate of their areas in Bengal. Of course, he did inform that it was a time-consuming process.  
In order to follow the process explained by Ashadullah Gayen we must arrange following facilities where detainees are kept:
1.    Writers conversant with Bangla with smart phones who can process papers and forward. 
2.    Female volunteers for providing support to women of the victimized men. 
3.    Socially committed legal counsels.  
This task can easily be fulfilled if the above mentioned organizations come out of inertia as if they are waiting for a more horrendous project of Hindutva to unroll.

संगोष्ठी में भागलपुर और आसपास के क्षेत्रों से बड़ी संख्या में सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता, छात्र-युवा, बुद्धिजीवी और आम नागरिक उपस्थित थे। सभी वक्ताओं ने एक स्वर में कहा कि “अब समय आ गया है कि जनता सिर्फ़ वोटर न रहे, बल्कि बदलाव की निर्णायक शक्ति बने।” संगोष्ठी का उद्देश्य बिहार में जन सरोकार आधारित शासन और वैकल्पिक राजनीति की नींव तैयार करना था।

इस आयोजन को जन-जागरूकता की दिशा में एक ठोस प्रयास के रूप में देखा जा रहा है।
