PM & FM: Meghalaya blueprint for resilient, self-reliant India

His remarks came in response to a post by Union minister of finance and corporate affairs,

The PM noted the key drivers of Meghalaya's transformation — from community-led tourism and youth empowerment to women-led self help groups (SHGs).

With strong government support and vibrant community spirit, the state stands as a blueprint for a resilient and self-reliant India".
The appreciation follows an article authored by Nirmala Sitharaman, in a national daily after her four-day visit to Meghalaya from July 10–13.
Reflecting on her experience, she wrote, "Throughout this journey, I was moved by the determination, optimism, and harmony with nature that define the people of Meghalaya. With government support and community spirit aligned, Meghalaya today offers a blueprint for a vibrant, confident, and self-reliant India".

Why was Op Sindoor stopped abruptly, asks Priyanka
New Delhi: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government, asking the absence of any security personnel in the Baisaran Valley in Pahalgam where the terror attack took place, despite the knowledge that thousands of tourists visit the spot. While participating in a special three-day discussion in the Lok Sabha on 'India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam", she lauded the bravery of the Indian Armed Forces but did not hold back from questioning the Centre's narrative on Kashmir. The Wayanad MP further slammed the government for not taking responsibility for the terror attack and called for accountability on the Pahalgam massacre, saying the responsibility of citizens' safety and security lies with the country's Prime Minister, Home Minister and Defence Minister. She took a dig at PM Modi saying that leadership is not just about taking credit but also taking responsibility. 'Leadership is not just about taking credit, but responsibility also needs to be taken… First time in the history of our country, this happened that the war was stopped abruptly. This is reflective of the irresponsibility of our Prime Minister," Gandhi said. She asked whether it is not responsibility of the PM, the Home Minister, the Defence Minister, and the National Security Advisor to ensure people's security. 'Did the government not know thousands of tourists go to Baisaran Valley… why there was no security there? Why were they left at God's mercy? Was no government agency in the know that such a dastardly terror attack is going to happen and a plot is being hatched in Pakistan," she asked. 'It is a big failure of our government and intelligence agencies. Who will take responsibility of this? Has anyone resigned? They keep talking about past but who will answer about what is happening in present," she said. The Wayanad MP also accused the Central government of consistently evading questions, saying it shows no sense of accountability to the people. 'The truth is that they have no place for the public in their heart. For them, everything is politics, publicity," she claimed.

SC to hear Prez reference matter from Aug 19
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it will commence detailed hearings in the Presidential reference matter on whether governors and the president can be judicially compelled to act within fixed timelines on state bills, scheduling the matter before a five-judge Constitution bench starting August 19. The bench, led by Chief Justice of India Bhushan R Gavai and comprising Justices Surya Kant, Vikram Nath, PS Narasimha and Atul S Chandurkar, finalised a nine-day hearing calendar extending into September. The court also decided to hear preliminary objections raised by Kerala and Tamil Nadu against the maintainability of the reference at the outset before allowing the Union government and other supporting parties to present arguments. The bench accepted a request by senior advocates KK Venugopal and Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Kerala and Tamil Nadu, respectively, to allow them make arguments on why the reference ought to be returned and how it is an attempt to re-litigate settled law and amounts to an appeal disguised as a reference.
