College principal says Hadiya can’t meet husband, she claims “I am not free”

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hadiya says the authorities at the college where she has been sent by the Supreme Court to finish her homeopathy studies have no clarity on the court’s order

“I want freedom”. This is what Hadiya aka Akhila Asokan had told the Supreme Court on Monday which had then decided to send her to the Sivaraj Homeopathic Medical College in Tamil Nadu’s Salem so that she can finish her studies.

But as Hadiya, the woman around whom the raging Kerala Love Jihad case revolves, reached Salem, she claimed she was “not free” and that she feared that her college would be “another prison”.

The statements by Hadiya, who for a better part of this year had been under “house arrest” at the residence of her father Asokan – the man who called her husband Shafin Jahan a terrorist and accused him of executing love jihad against her daughter – came even as the principal of the Sivaraj Homeopathic Medical College made it clear that he “would not allow her to meet anyone except her parents”.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Ironically, in her statements made before a Supreme Court Bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices DY Chandrachud and AM Khanwilkar, all that Hadiya wanted was to be reunited with her husband Shafin Jahan and get her freedom – away from the clutches of her parents.

On Wednesday, in Salem as per the apex court’s order where the dean of her college and not her husband will be her ‘guardian, Hadiya spoke at length to mediapersons about her fears and the fact that her request for freedom had gone unheeded.

“I asked for freedom from court. I wanted to meet my husband, but till now the fact is that I am not free and that’s the truth. Till now, I have not got my freedom… I don’t know what’s happening, don’t know if college will be another prison,” the 24-year-old Hadiya told reporters in Salem, where she is now expected to finish the last 11 months of her homeopathy course which she was forced to abandon mid-way after her marriage to Shafin Jahan triggered a national debate and got termed even by the Kerala High Court as a case of ‘love jihad’.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]Hadiya told reporters that authority concerned at her college “doesn’t have clarity on the court order and procedures” and that “I have to wait for 2-3 days for the college to understand the procedures.”

Although sources in the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the “love jihad” angle in her marriage with Shafin Jahan say that Monday’s order by the Supreme Court makes no mention of whether or not Hadiya is free to meet her husband, the 24-year-old told reporters that she had not been able to meet Shafin Jahan as yet.

Asserting that “every passing second” is a “big deal for me”, Hadiya told mediapersons that “I want to meet people who I love and like. I haven’t got a chance for that. I demanded freedom from the court. For six months, I was put up with people I hate (her parents) and they are the people who tried to reconvert me (from Islam to Hinduism).”

Hadiya revealed that since her widely publicised appearance in the Supreme Court, she had spoken to her father – who, incidentally still insists that Shafin is a terrorist and that he’ll continue his quest to have Hadiya’s marriage annulled by the top court – but that she “wasn’t able to contact my husband.”[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]The woman in the eye of the Kerala love jihad controversy said: “I am demanding basic rights that any Indian citizen has.

Congress, BJP attack Bhagwant Mann over remarks on Punjab blasts

Congress and BJP have jointly criticised Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann after he linked recent blasts near defence sites to political motives, triggering a controversy.

Bhagwant Mann

A political row has erupted in Punjab after Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann linked recent blast incidents to political motives, drawing sharp criticism from both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The controversy follows two low-intensity explosions reported within a short span of time — one near the Border Security Force (BSF) headquarters in Jalandhar and another close to an army cantonment area in Amritsar. The incidents raised concerns over security, particularly given the sensitive nature of the locations.

In response, Mann suggested that the blasts could be part of a larger political strategy. His remarks triggered a strong backlash, with opposition parties accusing him of politicising a serious security issue.

Leaders from the Congress criticised the Chief Minister’s statement, calling it inappropriate and alleging that such comments undermine the gravity of the situation. They stressed that matters related to national security should be handled with caution and responsibility.

The BJP also joined the criticism, questioning the basis of Mann’s claims and urging the state government to focus on investigation and law enforcement instead of making political allegations.

The developments have led to an unusual moment where both Congress and BJP appear aligned in their criticism of the Aam Aadmi Party-led government in the state.

Meanwhile, the blasts themselves have intensified concerns over safety in border regions, with authorities continuing their investigation into the incidents. No casualties were reported, but the proximity to defence establishments has made the issue particularly sensitive.

The episode has further escalated political tensions in the state, with security and accountability emerging as key points of debate.

Himanta sharma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma resigned from his post on Wednesday, paving the way for the formation of a new government after the BJP-led NDA secured a decisive victory in the 2026 Assembly elections.

Sarma submitted his resignation to Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya at Lok Bhawan in Guwahati. The Governor accepted the resignation and asked him to continue as the caretaker Chief Minister until the new government takes charge.

The resignation comes after the NDA’s strong electoral performance, where the alliance won a clear majority in the 126-member Assembly, ensuring its return to power for another term.

Oath ceremony expected after May 11

Speaking to reporters after submitting his resignation, Sarma said the swearing-in ceremony for the new government is likely to be held after May 11.

He indicated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been invited to attend the ceremony but is unavailable until May 11, which has influenced the tentative schedule.

Decision on next chief minister soon

Sources suggest that central observers, including senior BJP leaders, are expected to arrive shortly to oversee the selection of the legislature party leader. The newly elected MLAs will then decide on the next Chief Minister.

Despite the formal resignation, party sources indicate that Sarma is likely to continue in the role for another term, given the BJP’s strong mandate in the state.

The move marks the beginning of the government formation process in Assam following the election results declared earlier this week.

Rahul Gandhi and Vijay alliance took shape through backchannel talks, early signals from Congress leaders

Congress outreach and political calculations led to Rahul Gandhi and Vijay coming together after the Tamil Nadu 2026 election results.

The coming together of Rahul Gandhi and actor-politician Vijay in Tamil Nadu after the 2026 Assembly elections was not sudden, but the result of behind-the-scenes political manoeuvring and early signals within the Congress.

According to media reports, some leaders in the Tamil Nadu Congress had already sensed the scale of Vijay’s surge during the campaign, anticipating what was later described as a “wave” in favour of his party.

After the results, where Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerged as the single largest party but fell short of a majority, communication channels between the Congress leadership and Vijay quickly became active.

A key moment in this evolving political equation was a phone call from Rahul Gandhi to Vijay, congratulating him on the party’s strong performance. The conversation was seen as more than a courtesy, signalling the possibility of cooperation at a time when government formation required additional support.

Reports indicate that discussions within Congress weighed the political benefits of supporting Vijay, especially given the shifting dynamics in the state where traditional dominance by major Dravidian parties has been challenged.

With TVK needing allies to cross the majority mark, Congress emerged as a potential partner, leading to a broader political realignment in the state. This development also triggered tensions within opposition alliances, highlighting the strategic importance of the decision.

The evolving partnership reflects a mix of electoral pragmatism and changing voter sentiment, particularly the growing influence of younger voters, which leaders acknowledged as a key factor in the election outcome.
