‘Pakistan's PR': Congress, BJP join hands to attack NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani
Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Thursday criticised Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate of Indian origin for the New York City mayoral polls. Zohran Mamdani announced a campaign platform focused on appealing to the everyday concerns of New Yorkers.(PTI) Singhvi said that when Mamdani speaks, the public relations team of Pakistan 'takes a day off.' 'When Zohran Mamdani opens his mouth, Pakistan's PR team takes the day off. India doesn't need enemies with 'allies' like him shouting fiction from New York,' Singhvi said in a post on the social media platform X. Zohran Mamdani also faced criticism from the other side of the aisle in India, with BJP MP Kangana Ranaut also attacking the New York assemblyman. According to the actor turned politician, Mamdani sounds more Pakistani than Indian. "His mother is Mira Nair, one of our best filmmakers, Padma Shri , a beloved and celebrated daughter born and raised in great Bharat based in New York, she married Mehmood Mamdani ( Gujarati origin) a celebrated author, and obviously son is named Zohran, he sounds more Pakistani than Indian,"Ranaut claimed. Zohran Mamdani declares victory over Andrew Cuomo in NYC Democratic mayoral primary Zohran Mamdani has claimed victory over a wounded, but still formidable, former state governor, Andrew Cuomo, in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary. Now he faces an equally tough task: Defeating Mayor Eric Adams and a Republican opponent — and maybe even Cuomo again — in the general election, while fending off critics who argue the 33-year-old democratic socialist is too far to the left. While the results have yet to be finalised, Mamdani had a commanding lead that will be exceedingly difficult for Cuomo to overcome when the vote count resumes July 1 in New York City's ranked-choice voting system. Mamdani's likely win was a political lightning bolt—partly because of the stunning upset of New York's once all-powerful former governor and also because of the signals it sent about what kind of leader Democrats are gravitating toward following the party's bruising loss to Republican President Donald Trump last year.

Rajnath Singh Refuses To Sign SCO Statement Over Pahalgam Snub, Balochistan Mention | India vs Pak In a bold move at the SCO Defence Ministers' meeting in Qingdao, China, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh refused to sign the joint statement after it failed to mention the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians and included a reference to Balochistan. India strongly objected, seeing this as a veiled accusation pushed by Pakistan and China. Singh reaffirmed India's zero tolerance towards terrorism and emphasized that peace cannot coexist with cross-border terror. He cited the Pahalgam massacre by Lashkar proxy The Resistance Front and defended India's right to act decisively through actions like Operation Sindoor. This diplomatic stand underlines New Delhi's growing assertiveness on global platforms.

Congress' Sukhdeo Bhagat's 'arrogant' dig at Shashi Tharoor: ‘When a kite flies high...'
Taking a sharp jibe at Shashi Tharoor, Congress leader Sukhdeo Bhagat compared the Thiruvananthapuram MP to an arrogant kite that fails to recognise the Congress ideology supporting his rise. Bhagat further stressed the importance of acknowledging the foundational support behind one's success. Bhagat told ANI, 'You must have seen many kites in the sky. When a kite flies very high, it becomes arrogant. But when the string is cut, the kite falls on the ground. Then it realises that the string was in someone else's hands. The string is in the hands of Congress, in the hands of Congress' ideology. I am not talking about cutting it, I am talking about realising that it is because of that string that you are at such a height.' This comes a day after party chief Mallikarjun Kharge noted that his party believes in "country first" mantra but for some, it is "Modi first and country later". Asked about Tharoor's article on Operation Sindoor outreach in which he praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kharge said, "I want to say that the people of the opposition together said they are with the Army that is fighting (during Operation Sindoor)... We (the Congress) said the country is paramount and we will work together (with the government). We said 'country first, party later'. Some people say 'Modi first, country later'. What can we do about that?" Soon after Kharge's remarks at a press conference, Tharoor put out a cryptic post on X in which there was an image of a bird with the caption -- 'Don't ask permission to fly. The wings are yours. And the sky belongs to no one...' Tharoor's praise for the prime minister comes even as the Congress continues to criticise the Modi government's foreign policy, claiming that Indian diplomacy is "crumbling" and the nation is facing global isolation. In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, Tharoor's remarks on India-Pakistan ties and diplomatic engagement have notably diverged from the official Congress line. The Congress has been questioning the government over US President Donald Trump's claims of mediating a ceasefire between the two countries. Tharoor has often drawn criticism from his party and jibes aimed at him by Congress leaders for his stand.
