RJD, Cong condemn police action
Patna: Leader of the opposition in Bihar assembly, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav , has condemned the lathicharge on teacher aspirants and TRE-3.0 candidates near the CM's residence in Patna on Tuesday."It has become the hobby of the state govt to brutally beat up, commit injustice and torture the youth who put forward their demands in a democratic way," Tejashwi wrote on his X handle."This useless govt patronises and protects criminals and corrupt people and lathicharges students, youth and unemployed people whenever it wants," he added.State Congress president Rajesh Kumar also criticised the govt's response, saying the BJP-JD(U) coalition had once again shown its insensitivity to the future of Bihar's youth."Thousands of eligible candidates who wrote the BPSC TRE 3.0 went to meet the CM. But instead of giving justice, the govt got them brutally lathicharged. The male police force lathicharged the female candidates. This is shameful, inhuman and against democratic values," he said."This is not only an attack on students, but on the hopes and future of Bihar," Rajesh added, expressing support for the students' demand for the immediate release of BPSC TRE 3.0 supplementary exam results.According to the candidates, the TRE 3.0 announced 87,774 teaching posts, but results were declared for only 66,000. They claim no explanation has been provided for the remaining 21,000 posts, and that several names appeared across three separate lists. "It is clear from this that a large number of posts are still vacant," the Congress chief alleged.

Chhattisgarh: 2 Congress leaders arrested for obscene posts on PM, Op Sindoor
RAIPUR: Two Chhattisgarh Congress leaders, including a former MLA, Arun Tiwari, were booked in two districts for allegedly posting objectionable content on social media targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Operation Sindoor. Police said that Tiwari shared a Facebook post laced with objectionable language aimed at the Prime Minister and Operation Sindoor. The post triggered strong reactions from political and social groups, who lodged a formal complaint at the Civil Lines police station in Bilaspur, police said. 'Following the complaint, the Civil Lines police began a preliminary investigation under relevant sections of the IT Act and the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita,' said Inspector General of Police, Bilaspur range, Sanjeev Shukla. Officials said that the allegations appeared to be prima facie valid during the inquiry. 'On Wednesday, a team from Ratanpur police station conducted a raid at Tiwari's farmhouse in Ratanpur and he was later handed over to the Civil Lines police for further legal action,' said the IG. The language of content posted was extremely objectionable, said the IG. In the second case, senior Congress leader Brijmohan Singh was booked in Durg. Based on a complaint filed by BJP leader Tushar Dewangan, an FIR was registered against Singh at the Vaishali Nagar police station in Bhilai. 'We investigated the matter based on the complaint. The allegations were found to be true, and an FIR was registered under relevant sections. The accused has been arrested, and further legal proceedings are underway,' said city superintendent of police, Satya Prakash Tiwari. According to police, they have been charged with sections 296 (obscene acts and songs in public places) and 353 (statements that conduce to public mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and sections of the Information Technology Act.

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann questions need to send nominees abroad to publicize the success of Operation Sindoor
CHANDIGARH: A day after making "One Nation, One Husband' remark, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann today questioned the union government claim on success in Operation Sindoor. He said that for the first time in the history that any government is sending its nominees across the globe to tell everyone that they have emerged victorious in a war. He added that labelling any idea opposite to BJP's propaganda as anti-national reflects the country's sorry state of affairs. After the cabinet meeting here at his official residence, Chief Minister Mann said that it is ironic that Union Minister of State, Ravneet Singh Bittu has contradicted his stand on Operation Sindoor by saying that he was echoing the voice of Pakistan. He said that it is unfortunate that Bittu has issued such irrational statements whereas his masters sitting in Delhi have been giving hypothetical and baseless statements. Mann said that the Union Minister of State has forgotten that his own party has backtracked from their decision to send Sindoor to every household. He said that this type of attitude is unwarranted and undesirable adding that it is not in the interest of the country.

Govt announces dates for Monsoon Session, Congress says it's ‘running away' from special session
A DAY after INDIA bloc leaders wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterating their call for a special Parliament session to 'discuss the developments following the terror attack in Pahalgam', the government virtually ruled this out, announcing that the Monsoon Session will be held from July 21 to August 12. While announcing the dates, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the government was ready to hold discussions on every important matter in the Monsoon Session 'as per the rules and conventions'. 'Every session is special to us. We are willing to discuss any important issues,' Rijiju told a group of mediapersons, adding that the Business Advisory Committee of the two Houses will take a call on the issues to be discussed. The Indian Express reported Tuesday that the government had no plans to convene a special session. A source in the government said: 'The Monsoon Session is entirely for discussions, deliberations and legislation.' Soon after Rijiju's announcement, the Congress said that the fact that the government was giving out the dates 47 days in advance showed that the Modi government was 'running away' from the demand of an immediate special session. In a post on X, Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh, said normally the dates for a Parliament session are announced a few days before it commences, but 'never have the dates been declared 47 days before a session is due'. 'This has been done solely to run away from the demand being made repeatedly by the Indian National Congress and the INDIA parties for an immediate special session to discuss the brutal Pahalgam attacks and the failure to bring the terrorists who did the killings themselves to justice, the impacts of Operation Sindoor and its blatant politicisation, the revelations of the CDS (Chief of Defence Staff) in Singapore (over losses suffered by India), the hyphenation of India and Pakistan, the embedding of China in the Pakistan Air Force, the continuous claims of President Trump on mediation, and the numerous failures of our foreign policy and diplomatic engagements.' Rijiju said that one of the key issues that would be taken up by Parliament during the 23-day-long Monsoon Session would be the impeachment of Justice Yashwant Varma, who has been indicted by a Supreme Court inquiry panel in a cash discovery row. On Tuesday, Rijiju reached out to leaders of all major parties to evolve a consensus over the matter. 'I will be talking to smaller parties soon. The impeachment of a High Court or Supreme Court judge on a corruption issue cannot be political. The government will take everyone on board as there is no scope of differences on this,' he said. Rijiju has reportedly also conveyed to Opposition leaders that there should be a 'unified stand' on the matter. The minister said the modalities of the impeachment are being worked out, including signing of notices for it by MPs of different parties. For a motion of impeachment to be taken up, it has to be moved by not less than 100 members in the Lower House, and at least 50 members in the Upper House. Rijiju said the business of the two Houses will be taken into account to decide whether the Rajya Sabha or Lok Sabha will take up the motion first. Once the MPs submit the motion, the presiding officer of the House can either accept or reject it. Given that the government is moving the motion, it is expected to go through. After the motion is adopted by either House, the Speaker (in the case of the Lok Sabha) / Chairman (in the Rajya Sabha) constitutes a three-member committee of inquiry to probe the judge. The committee's report is then adopted by the House in which the impeachment motion has been introduced, to discuss the judge's removal. In Justice Varma's case, the government is exploring ways to do away with a committee as a three-member panel appointed by the Supreme Court has already indicted him. A source confirmed that the government was of this opinion, adding: 'The presiding officers can take a call on this.' In his post, Ramesh said that the government's plans regarding the Monsoon Session notwithstanding, it will 'still be dominated by these (Pahalgam, Operation Sindoor) issues of supreme national importance. The PM has run away from a special session but will have to answer very tough questions six weeks from now'.
