Kerala Nuns Granted Bail: Political Fallout Over Controversial Arrest Shakes BJP

In a controversial case that has stirred political tensions, two Kerala-based nuns have been granted bail by a local court in Chhattisgarh, bringing relief to their supporters. Arrested on charges of human trafficking, the case against them has been labeled as 'false' and politically motivated by Congress leaders from Kerala.

The bail decision, hailed as a triumph by Congress MLA Roji Mullanmadakkal John, underscores claims of BJP's divisive agenda, as echoed by MP Jebi Mather. 'Now, everyone knows the real face of the BJP, RSS, and Bajrang Dal,' Mather commented, spotlighting political affiliations allegedly behind the nuns' ordeal.

Legal counsel for the nuns successfully argued that charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita were inapplicable. The bail, confirmed by the National Investigation Agency's representative, comes with conditions barring the nuns from leaving India. Despite their release, Congress continues to voice concerns over political scapegoating in BJP-ruled states.
