NEW DELHI: Following reports of 76 children from Assam and Manipur, most of them minor girls, being rescued from "homes" run by missionaries in Tamil Nadu, the Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered a probe into a possible trafficking racket involving tribal children.
The Tamil Nadu police, in its affidavit before the SC, said, "Pastor Shaji was arrested at Somanur in Coimbatore district on February 12 and remanded to judicial custody. Effective steps are being taken to nab the absconding accused Rev Paul."
A Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices Deepak Verma and B S Chauhan accepted amicus curiae Aparna Bhat's suggestion for a probe into the matter. The National Commission for Protection of Children's Rights will carry out the probe.
Additional solicitor-general Indira Jaising said the TN police had not detailed the facts of the case to the court. "How could these children be taken more than 1,000km away without anyone noticing anything," Jaising asked.
Congress and MNF to form one party in Mizoram
Mizoram chief minsiter Lal Thanhawla, home minister Lalzirliana and former CM and MNF president Pu Zoramthanga.
Home Minister R Lalzirliana is acting as coordinator between MNF president Pu Zoramthanga and Chief Minister Pu Lal Thanhawla who were gunning for each other’s head in recent months.
“The main aim of the party would be to find a solution to existing problems of the Mizo people and their unfulfilled dreams besides bringing unity in politics,” said Congress source.
This action was apparently triggered by a larger perception within the two parties that none of them alone would be in a position to tackle the rising inflation and rampant corruption in the bureaucracy.
Early yesterday, at 7 :45 am, Pu Lal Thanhawla and Pu Zoramthanga held an hour-long discussion on the subject at an undisclosed location, acoording to the source.
Details of the discussion are not available. However, the length of the discussion suggests that coming days can bring a lot of unpredictable actions in Mizoram politics.
“The Congress high command is not aware of such move,” the source added.
