Allegations of SC's delay in hearing matter on attacks on Christians baseless: Archdiocese of B'luru
Peter Machado, the Archdiocese of Bangalore on Saturday issued a press statement against allegations of Supreme Court delaying hearing on matter of attacks on Christians.
In his statement, he added the allegations had no merits and that the Christian community has complete faith in the judiciary.
"We would never imagine or doubt that the Supreme Court would delay or hesitate to take up important issues that affect human rights or religious freedom." The statement added.
It further added the articles in newspapers on the matter were extremely distressing.
"It is understood that a Judge who is affected with Covid cannot by any stretch of imagination be blamed for delaying the hearing.
Parallelly, we wish to reiterate that there are still attacks on Christians in the country, especially in the States where the Anti-Conversion Acts have been passed. Many of such incidents are not even reported in the public. We are convinced that the Hon'ble Supreme Court will bring forth justice in this matter." it further added

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
