Giridh, Jharkhand: Stones were hurled at a rally in support of Citizenship Amendment Act organised by the BJP in Jharkhand’s Giridh on Sunday, prompting police to fire teargas shells to control the situation, officials said.

The incident happened at the Padam Chowk area when BJP workers from six assembly constituencies of the district took out a procession in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

“Some anti-social elements pelted stones on a procession of the BJP. Few policemen and some of those participating in the rally suffered minor injuries, forcing police to use teargas to bring the situation under control,” Superintendent of Police Surendra Jha said.

Giridih’s Deputy Commissioner (DC) Rahul Kumar Sinha is at the spot and camping there along with Surendra Jha.

Taking part in the rally, former BJP state unit president Ravindra Rai told reporters that the CAA was not against any citizen of India.

“The CAA is for the minorities of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who have taken refuge in the country after fleeing persecution. They should be given citizenship. But the opposition is spreading confusion over the issue. No Indian should be worried about the CAA,” he said.

Police on Monday morning started an investigattion into the death of a 35-year-old woman who was found in a pool of blood at Shalimar Market in Dhurwa police station area, 3km from the police headquarters.

The tribal woman’s clothes were torn, her throat slit and stomach had stab injuries. Police confirmed murder and did not rule out rape.

A resident from Shalimar Market said a vegetable seller on Monday morning noticed the body in a pool of blood and informed the police.

The woman’s husband identified the body and filed a murder case.

City superintendent of police Saurabh Kumar said a probe was on.

“We have some leads and hope there will be an early breakthrough,” he said. 

An official at Dhurwa police station, who spoke under cover of anonymity, said two youths had been detained for questioning.

“They had been seen with the woman last evening (Sunday),” he said.

Asked whether the woman had been raped, the police official said it was too early to give a conclusive answer before getting the autopsy results but added that the possibility could not be ruled out.

Women’s bodies are being recovered in the capital with alarming frequency.

On December 17, 2019, a body was recovered from near a warehouse of Lafarge on Namkum-Tatisilwai Road.

On April 17, 2019, the disrobed and decomposed body of a woman was recovered from Shaheed Maidan under Jagannathpur police station. The body was not identified.

Bihar murder suspect impersonating RAW official in Pune busted.

Source –

A 26-year-old suspect in a murder case in Bihar, has been arrested on Saturday for impersonating an officer of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).

The arrested man has been identified as Sonu Suraj Tiwari, a resident of Kondhwa-Budrukh and a native of Kasma in Aurangabad district of Bihar.

Senior police inspector Vinayak Gaikwad of Kondhwa police station said, “Tiwari is wanted for a murder case in Bihar, where three people (including him) murdered a brick kiln owner in an extortion bid in May 2019. He snitched on the two others and informed the Bihar police about their locations, and then ran away to Pune. We have informed the Bihar police who are on their way to Pune to pick him up.”

“He came to one of our officials and falsely identified himself as Akhand Kumar Shukla. He claimed to be an additional superintendent of police-rank officer currently working with the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and said that he wanted to share some information. So our staff brought him to him and while interacting, I asked him for his identification card. He said he cannot share it and his tone suddenly changed,” added senior PI Gaikwad.

The Kondhwa police called up local intelligence officials and verified that no such person existed in the intelligence bureau, said police.

Tiwari was arrested on Saturday and was produced in a local court on Sunday. The court has remanded him to judicial custody. The police have requested the court to not grant him bail while he is lodged at the Yerawada police station, according to senior PI Gaikwad.

A complaint in the matter was lodged by police naik Amol Phadtare who first spoke with the accused. A case under Sections 419 (punishment for cheating by personation) and 420 (punishment for cheating) of Indian Penal Code was registered at Kondhwa police station.

CAA, NRC will not be implemented in Bihar, says Prashant Kishor.

Source – thehindu.com

National vice-president of Bihar ruling party Janata Dal (United) Prashant Kishor on Sunday thanked Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi for their “unequivocal rejection” of the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Register of Citizens while offering an assurance that both CAA and NRC will not be implemented in Bihar.

However, when asked for his comment on the National Population Register (NPR) for which the Bihar government issued a notification on December 18, 2019, Mr. Kishor told The Hindu that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has to clarify on the issue as Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi has already declared that the process of NPR would be started from May 15, 2020.

“I join my voice with all to thank #Congress leadership for their formal and unequivocal rejection of #CAA_NRC. Both @rahulgandhi & @priyankagandhi deserve special thanks for their efforts on this count. Also would like to reassure to all – Bihar me CAA-NRC implement nahi hoga [CAA-NRC will not be implemented in Bihar]”, tweeted Mr. Kishor. His tweet came a day after Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi at the party’s working committee meeting on Saturday said “NPR 2020 is a disguised NRC” and termed the CAA as “discriminator and divisive whose sinister purpose is to divide the country along religious lines.”

Mr. Kishor said West Bengal, Kerala and other States too had started the process of NPR before the controversy erupted but later, when they had a relook, they stopped it.

In December 2019 when asked about the implementation of NRC in Bihar, Mr. Kumar had quipped, “kahe ka NRC? [NRC for what?]”.

In January this year, his deputy Modi said “the process of NPR will start in Bihar” and “no government has the courage to stop the NPR exercise in their respective States.” “The first phase of Indian census 2021 and the process of National Population Register (NPR) in Bihar will be done between the period of May 15 to June 28’ 2020”, said the Bihar government notification issued in December last year.

Open to Discuss CAA in Parliament, No Question of NRC in Bihar, Says Nitish Kumar in Assembly.

Source – news18.com

New Delhi: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said there should be discussion on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and if all parties agree, then Parliament too should hold consultations on the contentious legislation that has triggered widespread protests.

Kumar, speaking on the floor of the House, also assured members that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) would not be implemented in the state and Prime Minister Narendra Modi too had made his stand clear on the issue.

NRC and the new citizenship law have created fissures in the JDU, an ally of the BJP, with party vice-president Prashant Kishor publicly asking Kumar to do a rethink on support to the legislation.

“I want to make it very clear that JD(U)’s stance on NRC and CAA is of opposition. Check parliamentary standing committee’s record, first dissent note is of JD(U). Under what circumstances JD(U) supported the bill in both houses only Nitish Kumar ji can tell,” Kishor had said.

The election strategist also urged non-BJP chief ministers to “save the soul of India” and take a stand against the contentious Act.

“The majority prevailed in Parliament. Now beyond judiciary, the task of saving the soul of India is on 16 Non-BJP CMs as it is the states who have to operationalise these acts,” he said.

The Bihar Chief Minister soon clarified that NRC would not be implemented in the state as he attempted to put to rest speculations raised by JD(U)’s support to the Citizenship Amendment Act.

Cornered by journalists who sought to know his views on nationwide NRC as envisaged by Home Minister Amit Shah, Kumar quipped: “Kaahe ka NRC? Bilkul laagu nahin hoga” (NRC, what for? Will not at all be implemented).

The new citizenship law, which seeks to make religion the test for granting citizenship, has been dubbed as “discriminatory” by critics who feel it is against the Muslim community.

Former Jharkhand CM Babulal Marandi may merge party with BJP.

Source – thehindu.com

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das has been asked by senior BJP leaders to come to Delhi this week as talks for a merger of the Jhakhand Vikas Morcha (P), led by another former Chief Minister of the State, Babulal Marandi, with the party gain pace.

Senior BJP sources in Delhi and Ranchi have said that Mr. Marandi has been in talks with the party for the merger, and Mr. Das has been asked to give his input. Mr. Marandi had been in the BJP in the past and broke away after he felt he was being undermined.

“The loss in the Jharkhand polls is being assessed by the BJP and it was felt, especially by the on-ground RSS in the State, that Mr. Marandi, a former BJP leader, should be wooed and brought back into the party to restore some of its support base among tribal communities, which has been badly eroded under Mr. Das,” a senior BJP leader said.

Multiple reasons

The BJP feels that if Mr. Marandi had note fielded strong candidates in seven or eight constituencies in the Santhal-Kolhan belts and cut into the grand alliance votes, the party’s tally in the Assembly election could have been lower. Mr. Marandi had broken his Lok Sabha election alliance with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and the Congress to go it alone in these polls.

“Mr. Marandi too is assessing his political future, with Hemant Soren having pulled off a big victory. He feels he needs a national party to go forward, as his tally came down from eight (in 2014) to three in 2019,” the BJP leader said.

The sabotage that happened within the BJP campaign, specifically in Mr. Das’s Jamshedpur (East) loss to rebel Saryu Rai, is another reason Mr. Marandi is being brought back.

“There are certain leaders who worked against the interests of the party in these polls, and combined with Raghubar Das’s unpopularity, the grand alliance managed a simple majority in the Assembly. We have to acknowledge that too,” a source said.

With the “inauspicious” khar maas ending with Makar Sankranti on January 14, a meeting of the party parliamentary board will be called soon after to take forward the merger, BJP leaders say.
