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

Moscow court slaps google with $20 decillion fine over Russian channel block on YouTube
Moscow: A Moscow court has issued an unprecedented $20 decillion fine against Google, following its block on Russian state-affiliated channels like Tsargrad TV on platforms including YouTube. The amount, a figure surpassing the global GDP, has drawn worldwide attention as it highlights ongoing tensions over content censorship.
This legal dispute began when Google blocked Tsargrad TV, a pro-government channel, four years ago, later extending restrictions to other Russian state-linked media. Russia’s invocation of Article 13.41 of its Administrative Offences Code, which prohibits unauthorised restrictions on legal content, led to the court-imposed penalty of 100,000 roubles per day, doubling every 24 hours that Google did not comply. The fine eventually ballooned to 2 undecillion roubles, equivalent to $20 decillion.
In response, Google halted operations in Russia, declaring bankruptcy amid unmanageable legal demands. Following this, Russian authorities seized $100 million in assets from the company, reportedly allocating the funds to military support.
