A powerful coalition of 204 retired dignitaries—comprising military veterans, civil servants, diplomats, and lawyers—has issued an open letter condemning Rahul Gandhi’s recent parliamentary antics. The missive demands accountability for actions that they say undermine the hallowed halls of Indian democracy. Parliament stands as the pinnacle of constitutional authority, embodying the people’s will through legislation and discourse. Its decorum is sacrosanct, extending to every corner of the premises. Yet, on March 12, despite the Speaker’s clear prohibition on protests, opposition members led by Gandhi flouted rules by staging a sit-in on the stairs, casually consuming refreshments. The letter paints this as…
Gujarat’s Vadinar port welcomed the Indian gas carrier Nanda Devi on Tuesday, laden with LPG crucial for the nation’s daily needs. The vessel docked around 11:25 AM, following in the footsteps of Shivalik, which arrived at nearby Mundra a day earlier. This back-to-back success story unfolds against the backdrop of volatile conditions in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s military posturing has throttled commercial shipping through the strait since late February, complicating voyages for energy imports. Yet, with permissions granted by Iranian authorities, both ships made it through unscathed, delivering much-needed relief to India’s import-dependent energy sector. To counter potential bottlenecks,…

The flames lit up the night sky over Afghanistan as Pakistan’s airstrike reduced a vital 2,000-bed hospital to rubble, claiming 400 lives in what officials call a calculated massacre of innocents. Social media reels capture the horror: patients and staff trapped amid exploding fuel tanks and collapsing walls. This February’s war between nuclear-armed neighbors has seen repeated clashes along the porous border. Pakistan justifies its air campaigns as strikes on Taliban weapon caches and terror bases, but evidence points to widespread civilian targeting. Since operations began on February 26, at least 475 non-combatants have perished, with 115,000 forced from their…

Seat-sharing drama intensifies in Tamil Nadu’s DMK alliance ahead of Assembly polls. The CPI is digging in its heels, insisting on no less than six seats, matching its 2021 tally. Monday’s state executive meeting at party HQ solidified this position after scrutinizing talks with DMK leadership. Leaders dissected the ongoing deadlock, recent events, and emphasized the legitimacy of their ask based on prior involvement. Post-2021, CPI has revamped its structure, making the demand even more pressing for organizational health and coalition equilibrium. Reducing seats, per CPI, jeopardizes internal cohesion and fuels supporter frustration. To present a unified left bloc, CPI’s…
A storm of public fury has enveloped the Hindi film industry following the release of ‘Sarke Chunariya’, a song from ‘KD: The Devil’ starring Sanjay Dutt and Nora Fatehi. The National Human Rights Commission stepped in decisively, issuing a notice to address the song’s objectionable content amid mounting complaints.
