NEW DELHI: A woman cannot be treated as “untouchable” for three days in a month and then cease to be considered untouchable on the fourth day, Supreme Court judge BV Nagarathna remarked on Tuesday during hearing of cases including Sabarimala issue.The remarks came as solicitor general Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, said he strongly objected to the 2018 Sabarimala judgment’s observation that barring women aged 10 to 50 from the temple amounted to “untouchability” under Article 17 of the Constitution. “Article 17 in the context of Sabarimala, I don’t know how it can be argued. Speaking as a woman, there can’t be a three-day untouchability every month, and on the fourth day, there is no untouchability,” justice Nagarathna.The observation came in response to Mehta’s statement: “India is not that patriarchal or gender stereotyped in the way that the West understands.”In the Sabarimala case, justice DY Chandrachud held that barring women from Kerala’s Sabarimala temple, whether due to age or menstrual status, amounts to “untouchability,” places them in a “subordinate” position, reinforces “patriarchy,” and undermines their dignity.Mehta said that the ban on women entering Sabarimala temple was not linked to menstruation, but was imposed solely based on a specific age group.”Let us be clear. Sabarimala concerns only a particular age group. There should be no confusion. Lord Ayyappa temples across the country and the world are open to women of all ages. It is only one temple which has this restriction. It is a sui generis case,” he said.A nine-judge bench was hearing petitions concerning discrimination against women at religious sites, including Kerala’s Sabarimala temple, and examining the extent and limits of religious freedom across different faiths. The Constitution bench included Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices B V Nagarathna, M M Sundresh, Ahsanuddin Amanullah, Aravind Kumar, Augustine George Masih, Prasanna B Varale, R Mahadevan, and Joymalya Bagchi.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

‘Why are Bahujan entrepreneurs excluded?’ Rahul Gandhi targets Centre over contract data gap NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi has asked the Modi government why no data is maintained on the share of public works contracts worth over Rs 16,500 crore awarded to Dalit, Adivasi and OBC-owned businesses, accusing the Centre of fostering a “deliberately constructed system of exclusion” after Parliament told him that no such records exist.In an unstarred question in Lok Sabha, Gandhi sought details on public works and infrastructure contracts awarded by the central public works department (CPWD) and under the ministry of housing and urban affairs over the past five years, specifically asking how many were secured by SC, ST and OBC-owned enterprises.Government’s response In a written reply, minister of state for housing and urban affairs Tokhan Sahu stated that while the government could provide the total number and value of contracts awarded year-wise, “there is no existing mechanism to track contracts awarded to enterprises owned by persons belonging to scheduled castes (SC), scheduled tribes (ST) and other backward classes (OBC).”The government also clarified that all such contracts fall under construction contracts, and maintaining caste-based data is “not mandatory” for them. On the question of increasing procurement mandates for SC/ST-owned enterprises, the minister replied: “In view of the above, the question does not arise.”‘Deliberate exclusion’: Rahul GandhiResponding to the government’s reply on social media, the leader of the opposition said the response was “deeply concerning.””The government does not maintain any data in this regard,” Gandhi said. “The policy mandates that 25% of public procurement must be sourced from MSMEs, of which 4% is earmarked for dalit and adivasi entrepreneurs. However, when it comes to the largest and most lucrative contracts, public works, the government asserts that this requirement is not ‘mandatory.'”He argued that this is “not merely an administrative lapse; it is a deliberately constructed system of exclusion, fostered through the policies of the Modi government, that undermines social and economic justice.””The question is straightforward: Why are Bahujan entrepreneurs being excluded from the country’s largest public contracts?” he added.Rahul Gandhi further points in his post that the government’s Public Procurement Policy for MSMEs mandates that 25 per cent of purchases by central ministries and public sector undertakings be sourced from micro, small and medium enterprises, with four per cent specifically earmarked for SC/ST-owned enterprises.However, the government has now clarified in Parliament that this provision is not mandatory for public works contracts, which are typically among the largest and most profitable government tenders. These contracts are awarded through open tendering processes, and no centralised database is maintained on the social category of contractors.The exchange comes ahead of assembly elections in several states. Gandhi’s office said the absence of such data raises broader concerns about equitable access and transparency in government spending.”The Modi government will have to answer for this,” Gandhi said.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
