Mantri ji's son is here: Jharkhand minister's son's hospital inspection sparks row
The footage prompted sharp criticism from the opposition, who questioned what official authority the minister's son held to conduct such visits to a medical institution. Facing mounting backlash, Krish Ansari deleted the video from Instagram.In response to the growing controversy, Health Minister Irfan Ansari defended his son, clarifying that Krish is the grandson of his father, senior Congress leader Furqan Ansari.He insisted that Krish had not committed any wrongdoing. According to the minister, Krish had gone to the hospital after learning that one of his teachers was unwell and stayed back to assist some tribal patients.Dismissing the criticism, Irfan Ansari said, "There's nothing wrong with what he did. Anyone can visit a hospital. Anyone can help. He didn't run over anyone or kill anyone nor did he insult a Dalit. He only went to the hospital on humanitarian grounds. Everyone should appreciate this."Ansari described the visit as "an act of kindness, not a mistake", and accused the BJP of politicising the matter unnecessarily. "Someone offering help should be appreciated, not condemned," he said.The Bharatiya Janata Party, however, has slammed the state government over the incident, alleging misuse of power and a breach of administrative protocol. Party leaders argued that the son of a constitutional functionary holds no right to visit or inspect government-run healthcare institutions, and called the act a blatant violation of governance norms.- Ends

Neurosurgeon shares ‘most important rule about exercising' that changed his fitness routine: ‘I always workout…'
We all know exercise is essential for good health, but with so many fitness tips and conflicting advice out there, it's easy to get overwhelmed or miss what really matters. Brian Hoeflinger, board-certified neurosurgeon, shares in his July 26 Instagram post one fundamental rule about exercising that most people completely overlook. (Also read: Neurosurgeon explains how your brain undergoes significant changes as you age, how to protect it: 30s to 60s and beyond ) Neurosurgeon shares his secret to sticking to workout routine. (Unsplash) Why timing matters more than intensity In his post, Brian shares a candid insight into his fitness routine and the one rule that's changed everything for him. 'I exercise the minute I get home,' he begins, emphasising how crucial that timing is. 'The reason why? Because there are just so many distractions once I walk through that door.' He explains that if he doesn't start his workout right away, chances are high he'll end up skipping it altogether. 'If I don't get my exercise done right off the bat, there's a 9 out of 10 chance I won't do it at all,' he admits. 'So I've trained myself to go out and do it the moment I get home, no matter what else is going on.' What kind of workouts does he follow As for what his routine looks like, Brian keeps it simple but consistent. 'Typically, what I do is either three to four miles of rucking with a weighted backpack, or three to four miles of light jogging,' he says. 'I try to get that in every single day, unless something truly urgent comes up at work.' For Brian, the key isn't about the complexity of the workout but about building a habit that sticks, by making exercise the first priority when he gets home, instead of leaving it for later.

‘Forces ne thok diya', Amit Shah strikes at Oppn over Pahalgam accountability
New Delhi: Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday launched a blistering attack on the Opposition over holding him accountable for the security lapse in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam and told the Lok Sabha that the security forces have taken revenge for the April 22 terror attack by gunning down three terrorists under the 'Operation Mahadev'. Speaking on the Operation Sindoor debate in the Lower House, Amit Shah said that as the Home Minister, he was answerable for the Pahalgam-like terror attack, but asserted that his government has maintained zero tolerance for those who wage war against the nation. 'Forces ne thok diya', Amit Shah told the House, lauding the Operation Mahadev. In the same vein, he demanded answers from Congress-led governments on their tainted past of 'being soft' on the separatists, extremists and terror sympathisers. He said that the Pahalgam attackers have been punished, but Congress must answer for its 'misdeeds' and politically driven approach in bringing terror elements to book. Recalling the incident of teary-eyed Salman Khurshid and the then Congress President Sonia Gandhi shedding tears over the infamous Batla House encounter in 2008, he said that the then government stood with 'terror sympathisers'. 'Rather than rallying behind martyred cop Mohan Sharma, they were shedding tears with an eye on a certain vote bank,' he said. Digging out the Congress government's stance on the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA), he said that the law brought by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government as a deterrent against terror acts was revoked by the UPA government, soon after coming to power in 2004. "What followed was a string of terror attacks," he said and also listed out incidents when many innocent civilians were killed in terror attacks. 'In December 2004, POTA was revoked. Subsequently, in 2005, the Ram Lalla tent was targeted; in 2006, Mumbai train blasts happened, killing 186 people; in 2006, the Doda attack led to deaths of 44 people; in 2008, Mumbai attacks happened killing 246 people, same year, 21 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad killing 57 people,' he told the House. Further tearing into Congress, Amit Shah said that many dreaded terrorists fled the country when it was in power. 'Dawood Ibrahim fled the country in 1986, Tiger Memon in 1993, while Aness Ibrahim escaped the country in 1993,' he said. He said that the security forces have given a befitting reply to the Pahalgam attackers, and now it's time that the Leader of Opposition and Congress give answers on who allowed the hardcore terrorists to escape the law, under their regime. Amit Shah's blistering attack on the Opposition came on the back of its repeated charge that the Pahalgam attackers fled the country after killing 26 tourists, and the Home Minister must take the blame for this.

Rahul-occupied-Congress doesn't want its MPs to support 'Op Sindoor' in Parliament: BJP MP Thakur
New Delhi: BJP MP and former Union Minister Anurag Thakur launched a scathing attack on the Congress party on Tuesday, accusing it of sidelining its own experienced leaders and politicising 'Operation Sindoor'. Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, Thakur took a swipe at Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and referred to the Congress as 'Rahul-occupied Congress' alleging that it deliberately suppressed voices within its own ranks who had represented India internationally. Speaking on the discussion in Parliament on 'Operation Sindoor' and the delegation sent by Prime Minister Modi post the cessation in hostilities between the two neighbours, which included MPs from across party lines including the Congress, he said, 'These are the same MPs (referring to Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tiwari) who were sent abroad as part of India's official delegation after 'Operation Sindoor'. They effectively raised India's voice globally. Yet, their voices are not heard inside Parliament.' 'Why were they not allowed to speak in Parliament? Are they not competent or experienced enough?' he questioned. Thakur stated that several countries had condemned the Pahalgam terror attack and offered condolences to the victims' families after 'Operation Sindoor'. 'But perhaps that doesn't sit well with Rahul Gandhi's Congress. Maybe that's why they don't want their own MPs to highlight this support in Parliament,' he claimed. He accused the Congress party of using 'Operation Sindoor' as a political tool rather than standing with the armed forces. 'All they wanted was to question how many planes were downed. Not a single Congress MP asked how much damage was inflicted on Pakistan, how many terrorists were neutralised, or how many terror sites were destroyed.' Even after External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar responded in detail, Thakur said, Congress continued its accusatory tone. 'Their line of questioning, their tone — everything shows whose side they're on,' he remarked, implying that the Opposition's approach was more political than patriotic. The BJP has repeatedly accused the Congress of undermining the armed forces, a charge the Opposition denies stating that it is only seeking transparency which is allowed in a democracy.
