Rigging charge after loss is absurd: Poll body rubbishes Rahul Gandhi's claim
The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday dismissed Rahul Gandhi's claims of last year's Maharashtra Assembly election results being rigged as vague and "completely absurd", issuing a point-by-point rebuttal to the Congress leader's voter fraud allegations."After any unfavourable verdict by the voters, trying to defame the Election Commission by saying that it is compromised is completely absurd," the poll body said in its strongly worded in the day, Rahul Gandhi, while sharing his op-ed in The Indian Express, claimed that the Maharashtra Assembly polls were conducted in a manner that favoured the BJP, alleging that the voter lists were inflated with fake voters. The Congress MP further alleged that the law surrounding the appointment of the Election Commissioners and the Chief Election Commissioners was amended to heavily tilt it towards the Centre's favour, by dropping the Chief Justice of India (CJI) from the panel to select Election Commissioners and the Chief Election Commissioner. Calling Rahul Gandhi's allegations "unsubstantiated," the poll panel reiterated that it had already replied to the similar charges raised by the Congress last year, shortly after losing the Maharashtra Assembly elections."The Election Commission had brought out all these facts in its reply to INC on 24th December 2024 itself which is available on ECI's website. It appears that all these facts are completely being ignored while raising such issues again and again...", said the

Who is Ishan Tharoor? Meet journalist son of Shashi Tharoor who questioned father
In a moment that drew attention both in diplomatic circles and the Indian media, Ishan Tharoor, a Washington-based journalist and son of senior Congress MP Shashi Tharoor , posed a pointed question to his father during an official engagement in the United States. The query revolved around Pakistan's role in the Pahalgam terror attack , which claimed 26 lives. As Shashi Tharoor led a multi-party Indian delegation on Operation Sindoor , Ishan, in his professional capacity, raised questions regarding international response and Pakistan's repeated denials—bringing family, politics, and journalism into one spotlight. Ishan Tharoor: Columnist at The Washington Post Ishan Tharoor is an established global affairs columnist at The Washington Post, where he regularly covers international diplomacy, geopolitics, and historical legacies shaping today's world. His journalistic career spans nearly two decades, starting with Time magazine before moving to The Washington Post in 2014. He has earned a reputation for his analytical and critical insights into complex global issues.

The moment that made headlines During a public interaction in Washington, D.C., where his father was representing India in Operation Sindoor, Ishan asked Shashi Tharoor whether any of the countries visited demanded evidence of Pakistan's involvement in the Pahalgam terror attack. He also raised the issue of Pakistan's consistent denial of such allegations. The question sparked conversations across media for its boldness and irony—son grilling father on a sensitive geopolitical issue. US: Tharoor's Savage Reply After His Journalist Son Ishaan Confronts On Proof Against Pakistan Shashi Tharoor's response Shashi Tharoor responded that no country had asked for proof, citing a '37-year pattern' of Pakistani involvement in similar attacks. He emphasized that India's retaliatory measures were based on strong evidence and that global partners recognized this context. He humorously noted that he hadn't 'planted' the question, acknowledging Ishan's journalistic independence. Public reactions and legacy The father-son exchange has been widely discussed as a rare instance where professional duty intersected with personal ties on an international stage. It also reinforced Ishan Tharoor's standing as a credible journalist unafraid to ask tough questions—even to his own father.

Amid Elon Musk's claims about Donald Trump in Epstein files, journalist adds fuel to the fire with explosive allegations
Elon Musk and Donald Trump, once seen as allies, are now fighting openly. Musk earlier posted a strong message on his platform X (formerly Twitter). He claimed the US president is linked to the secret Epstein files. That's the reason why the files haven't been made public, he alleged. Musk gave no proof but said the truth would come out in time. 'Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!' Must wrote in his now-deleted tweet. This shocking post is believed to have ended their friendship. Experts in Washington and Silicon Valley feel that any chance of peace between the two is now gone. Musk's message hinted that the government was hiding Trump's possible connection to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted paedophile. Jeffrey Epstein was a rich American businessman who had close ties with powerful people. He was first jailed in 2008 for using a minor for sex. However, he got a very light punishment, which caused public anger. In 2019, he was arrested again for running a sex trafficking network of underage girls. The wealthy business tycoon died in jail before the trial. His death was ruled a suicide, but many think he was murdered to hide secrets According to Daily Mail's US correspondent Tom Leonard, Donald Trump knew Jeffrey Epstein even though he once claimed otherwise. They were part of the same wealthy social group in Florida from the late 1980s until 2004 when they had a major fight over property. Trump, like Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton, has been named in legal documents linked to Epstein's long history of sexual abuse. Before his re-election in 2024, Trump said he had no issue releasing the remaining Epstein Files from the FBI's investigation. Although there's no proof Trump was involved in Epstein's crimes, his name still appears in many ongoing conspiracy theories, Leonard added. After Elon Musk posted about Donald Trump being linked to Epstein, many of his followers on X began sharing old clips and reports of the two together. Musk even retweeted a few. One of them shows a 1992 video showing Trump and Epstein at Mar-a-Lago, laughing and pointing at cheerleaders. In another clip from 2002, Trump praises Epstein as 'terrific' and said he liked young women. US journalist Michael Wolff added fuel to the ongoing allegations, claiming he had seen photos of Trump and Epstein with 'topless girls of an uncertain age sitting on Trump's lap'. One image reportedly shows Trump with a stain on his trousers while the women laugh and point. Wolff believes these pictures were in Epstein's safe, which the FBI seized in 2019. Nevertheless, Trump's team denied Wolff's claims, calling him a 'disgraced writer'.
