Manish Tewari's Cryptic Post After Congress Drops Him From Op Sindoor Debate In Parliament
As the Congress tries to corner the Narendra Modi government during the ongoing Operation Sindoor debate, its internal strains are making headlines and putting the main Opposition on a sticky wicket. Amid the buzz over why senior party leader Shashi Tharoor was not speaking in the debate, another MP's social media post has left the Congress red-faced and given fresh ammo to the BJP.
Former Union Minister and Anandpur Sahib MP Manish Tewari today shared a screenshot of a news report on why he and Mr Tharoor were benched for a debate. The post on X was captioned with the evergreen patriotic song from Purab Aur Pachhim (1970): "Hai preet jahaan ki reet sada, main geet wahaan ke gaata hoon, Bharat ka rehne waala hoon, Bharat ki baat sunata hoon. Jai Hind," the Congress MP wrote.
Both Mr Tewari and Mr Tharoor, who are not on the Congress list of speakers for the Parliament debate, were part of the Indian delegations that travelled abroad as part of New Delhi's global outreach after Operation Sindoor.

3 Reasons Why Bihar Roll Revision Can't Be Discussed In Parliament: Sources
There will be no discussion on Bihar voter list revision in Parliament despite the Opposition's demand, the government has indicated, underscoring a reason cited by former Speaker Balaram Jakhar, sources have said. About this, three arguments are being considered by the government, sources said.
The first is that the campaign being run by the Central Election Commission is not an election reform. Rather, it is an administrative step and the Election Commission has been taking such steps from time to time.
The second reason is that even if a discussion is held in both houses of Parliament on the intensive revision of the voter list, there is no one to answer the questions that the Opposition could raise. The Election Commission cannot come to the House to present its side, sources pointed out. And although the Law Ministry is the nodal ministry for the Election Commission, it generally looks after only administrative work, and does not interfere in policy matters.
The third reason the government gave is that there are many such institutions which do not have a mechanism to present their side before the Parliament. In such situations, there cannot be a discussion about those institutions, sources said.

100 day's work: TMC, CPM & Cong mull contempt plea after Centre fails HC deadline
Kolkata: With the Calcutta High Court-mandated Aug 1 deadline to Centre to resume the 100 days' work programme in Bengal getting over on Friday, Trinamool, CPM and Congress spoke in one voice to target BJP for ignoring the state's poor. The parties indicated they would move court against Centre for contempt. On June 18, the HC had directed "prospective implementation" of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Generation Scheme (MGNREGS), suspended in Bengal for close to three years, from Aug 1. Saying that the scheme could not be "put in cold storage for eternity", a bench led by the Chief Justice had allowed Centre to impose special conditions and restrictions to check the irregularities and for recovery of money misappropriated in the past.

People have worked but have not been paid. Uttar Pradesh, as per Centre's own data, has the highest number of fake job cards but it still gets funds. They are even disregarding HC orders to browbeat Bengal. This is sheer contempt of court." CPM has been protesting at block levels over the past month demanding restoration of 100 days' work and for non-payment of pending wages. "If 100 days' work is not restored following the court order, we will take it to the streets. We are also looking at taking legal recourse," CPM state secretary Md Salim said. Pradesh Congress president Subhankar Sarkar said: "Investigation into cases of corruption should be done. But that cannot be used as an excuse to deny the scheme that has a huge impact on rural livelihoods. If necessary, Congress will take legal recourse. The state govt, on the other hand, should come out with a white paper on the accounts of 100 days' work." Bengal BJP said there was lack of clarity in the high court's order. "The court, on the one hand, said that 100 days' work cannot be stopped. On the other hand, it has given a go-ahead to the investigation into allegations of corruption and agreed to Centre imposing conditions," state BJP president Samik Bhattacharya said. "The CM met the PM with a delegation of parliamentarians. She said that the matter will be resolved through secretary-level meetings between Centre and state. The meetings never took place," Bhattacharya added.

Congress preps to revive ‘Op Akarsh' to rope in more BRS MLAs
1 2 Hyderabad: With the Supreme Court setting a three-month deadline for the assembly speaker to decide on the disqualification of turncoat MLAs, the ruling Congress is all set to revive its 'Operation Akarsh' and go all out to rope in more BRS MLAs in a bid to escape the anti-defection law. The ruling party needs 16 more BRS legislators to merge the BRS Legislature Party (BRSLP) with the Congress Legislature Party (CLP). The BRS won 39 assembly seats in the 2023 assembly election but lost the Secunderabad Cantonment constituency in the 2024 bypoll. So far, 10 BRS legislators have joined the Congress after the assembly election. As per the anti-defection law, unless two-thirds of a party's legislators defect, the defectors are liable to be disqualified. In such cases, by-elections have to be held as legislators will have to resign after switching sides. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad Sources in the ruling Congress said the party had, in fact, been waiting for the apex court judgement to take a call on reviving 'Operation Akarsh'. "Many BRS MLAs are still in touch with the Congress. The party leadership kept 'Operation Akarsh' on hold due to the case pending in the Supreme Court. The party top guns will now decide on roping in more MLAs, even while taking the opinion of legal and constitutional experts for going in for an appeal to a larger bench or exploring other available alternatives," the source said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Retirees Can Potentially Minimize RMD Taxes SmartAsset Learn More Undo Meanwhile, Telangana Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud told TOI that 'Operation Akarsh' was never called off. "It has always been active. If the MLAs, MLCs, and other important leaders from other parties want to join the Congress because they are impressed with the welfare schemes of the Revanth Reddy-led govt, what is wrong in allowing them into the party? The SC directions have to be followed, and the assembly speaker will decide what to do about it," he said. Party insiders say the Congress is eyeing at least half a dozen more BRS MLAs from Greater Hyderabad alone, a move that could strengthen its position ahead of the GHMC elections. On their part, the defected BRS MLAs are depending upon the Congress leadership, especially chief minister A Revanth Reddy, for support. Ghanpur Station MLA Kadiyam Srihari, one of the defectors, said on Tuesday: "We will abide by the decision of the speaker. But the BRS has no moral right to talk about the anti-defection law. It was the BRS that started defections in Telangana. First, they merged the Telugu Desam Legislature Party into BRSLP in 2016, and later CLP in June 2019." Earlier, Patancheru legislator Gudem Mahipal Reddy, another turncoat MLA, said he is not scared of a bypoll and exuded confidence in winning again in case of a by-election. However, political observers said the task of merging the BRSLP with the CLP is more challenging compared to the mergers in the past. The BRS was on strong political ground then. The TDP had 15 MLAs, and 12 of them joined the BRS, and the Congress had 19, of which 12 joined the BRS.

Kharge writes to RS deputy chair on CISF officers blocking protests by MPs
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday wrote to deputy chairman Harivansh, saying that he was 'shocked' at the manner in which Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel were made to enter the Well of the House during a protest, and pointed out that the situation did not warrant such security measures. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said that he was 'shocked' at the manner in which Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel were made to enter the Well of the House during a protest (PTI) 'We are astonished and shocked at the manner in which CISF personnel are made to run into the Well of the House when the members were exercising their democratic right of protest,' the Congress president said in the letter. He added: We saw this yesterday and we saw this today as well. Has our Parliament been reduced to such a level? This is most objectionable and we condemn it unequivocally.' The letter came hours after some MPs of TMC and DMK tried to enter the Well during a protest against the special intensive revision (SIR) in poll-bound Bihar, but were blocked by security personnel at the entry point. However, as some MPs sneaked into the Well and raised slogans, six CISF personnel entered the Rajya Sabha to form a human chain in front of the Chair, leading to outrage of protesting leaders. According to eyewitnesses, on Thursday too, three personnel formed a group in front of protesting Opposition leaders in Parliament. The CISF took charge of security of the Parliament complex in May last year in the backdrop of a breach on December 13, 2023. Until that day, the security of Parliament was jointly managed by Delhi police, Parliamentary Security Service (PSS) and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). 'Marshal are posted right at the gates of the House and come inside only if the speaker asks them to come inside. This season, CISF personnel are on marshal duty too. The new marshals entered the house only after they were called by officials. As is the norm, the officials pressed the bell and called the new marshals inside. The earlier marshals who were part of PSS had worked in the Parliament House for years and were recognised by everyone. The new marshals who entered the house after being summoned weren't recognised and that created the confusion,' an official aware of the matter said.
