BJP MP Eatala accuses CM of double-speak on PM Modi, Centre
Hyderabad: Malkajgiri MP Eatala Rajender on Friday asked Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to answer whether the Congress party was not the reason for the Kashmir issue to simmer even after 75 years of independence. 'Didn't the Congress party fuel the dispute by granting Kashmir a degree of independence?' he questioned.
Taking strong exception to CM Revanth Reddy's speech during the Jai Hind rally, he asked, 'If Indira Gandhi had taken control of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir during the Indo-Pakistan war, would India be in this situation today?' The BJP MP said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the hero who abrogated Article 370 and made Kashmir an integral part of India.
He charged that the Congress party and its leaders talk about national security like demons reciting Vedas. 'The words they speak meant for rhyme and political gains are damaging the self-confidence of our soldiers.
Accusing CM Revanth of double speak, he said that the Chief Minister praises Modi in Delhi but abuses him in the streets. His ministers applaud the work of the Centre but the CM abuses the Centre. That exposes the true colours of CM Revanth Reddy, he added.

Even Pak did it: Congress reiterates demand for Parliament session on Op Sindoor
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday reiterated his party's demand for a special session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor and the terror attack in Pahalgam. Addressing reporters, Kharge said that the Centre should take a cue from Pakistan, which has convened its Parliament and held deliberations on the developments, and show similar seriousness in addressing the said that the entire nation stands with the armed forces and called for unity on issues concerning national security. He urged all political leaders to exercise restraint and avoid politicising military a veiled swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress President said, "We must know when to speak what. There should be unity in national matters and a focus on defeating our opponents. All leaders across the country should remain silent regarding matters of national security. It's better to understand what has happened before speaking about it. There should be no election campaign before the delegation reports are out. PM Modi should refrain from giving election speeches. There is no need for self-praise. The entire nation stands with our armed forces." He further questioned the Prime Minister's public remarks on the military operation, noting that the PM had earlier stated he had given full authority to the armed forces. "Why is he speaking again now? The Prime Minister should not make self-glorifying speeches. We have said, let's convene Parliament and talk. Even Pakistan has convened its Parliament and is holding discussions. None of us will speak against the nation," Kharge remarks came a day after he accused the BJP-led government of misleading the nation over Operation Sindoor. In a post on social media, the Congress chief alleged that instead of offering clarity on US President Donald Trump taking credit for the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Prime Minister Modi was "on an election blitz, taking personal credit for the valour of the armed forces".He also referred to the interview given by India's Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Anil Chauhan, in Singapore, saying that the revelations raised important questions about defence preparedness."In the wake of the remarks made by the CDS in Singapore in an interview, there are some very important questions which need to be asked. These can only be asked if a Special Session of the Parliament is immediately convened. The Modi Government has misled the nation. The fog of war is now clearing," Kharge Chauhan, who was in Singapore for the Shangri-La Dialogue, admitted in an interview with Bloomberg for the first time that an unspecified number of Indian fighter jets were downed during the recent hostilities with India's Operation Sindoor, which was launched after the Pahalgam attacks, Pakistan had claimed that it had downed six Indian fighter jets, a claim India had previously Chauhan categorically rejected Pakistan's assertion that it had shot down six Indian jets, including four Rafales, calling it 'absolutely incorrect'."What is important is that, not the jet being down, but why they were being down... Why they were down, what mistakes were made - that are important. Numbers are not important," General Chauhan to the comments, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that Defence MInister Rajanth Singh should have informed the political parties about the losses before a military official revealed them InMust Watch

Harish Rao, Madhusudana Chary ridicule rival parties' attempts to weaken BRS
HYDERABAD Senior leader of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and former minister T. Harish Rao has condemned the comments of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud that he (Harish) had met BJP MP Eatala Rajender and termed them as 'cheap'. In a statement, Mr. Rao said the TPCC chief was playing such cheap politics unable to take on him directly and by doing so he was treading the unethical path of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy by indulging in mudslinging on political opponents. He made it clear that except for coming across in weddings or funerals he had never met any leader of other parties or those who left BRS. 'I always practice politics with values unlike your cheap tactics for political mileage', he said and suggested Mr. Goud to stop such allegations and act in tune with his (Goud's) status and also focus on fulfilling six guarantees and 420 promises made at the time of elections. Separately, BRS MLC and former Speaker of the Assembly S. Madhusudana Chary condemned the misinformation campaign of the rival parties against BRS that it was planning to merge with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He stated that in combined Andhra Pradesh, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) came into being against the Congress and K. Chandrasekhar Rao had floated BRS (TRS) to fight for the existence of Telangana against both Congress and TDP. Stating that KCR had achieved Statehood for Telangana despite adverse political conditions and opposition from strong leaderships such as Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and N. Chandrababu Naidu and developed Telangana as a model State. However, the rival parties were conspiring to weaken BRS, unknowing that the party has the backing of Telangana masses despite its defeat in the elections. On the internal political development of BRS he said he was aware of all and any decision would be taken by party chief KCR. As part of the Telangana Formation Day celebrations in Telangana Bhavan, Mr. Harish Rao would give a powerpoint presentation on the Kaleshwaram project on June 2.

Sheikh Hasina Charged with Crimes Against Humanity Before Tribunal
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Charges against former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina, including crimes against humanity, have been submitted to the International Crimes Tribunal following protests that led to violence and deaths. The interim government has denied foreign conspiracy claims. Charges against former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have been submitted to the International Crimes Tribunal or ICT in Bangladesh. The charges, including the charge of crimes against humanity, were submitted at noon to the registrar of the tribunal following the investigation report. Bangladesh has started the trial against the former Prime Minister related to the killings of protesters by the police during the uprising last year. Sheikh Hasina had fled by helicopter in August 2024 as a violent mob approached her official residence, Gana Bhavan, in Dhaka. The protests, with students at the forefront, was reportedly supported by the then banned Jamaat-E-Islami Bangladesh, a radical Islamist organisation. Apart from Sheikh Hasina, former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun have also been named as accused in the case. The International Crimes Tribunal, originally set up to try cases related to war crimes committed during the 1971 Liberation War, was reconstituted following ouster of the Awami League government in August last year. In a post on social media, Chief Advisor of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, meanwhile, has denied CIA's role in last year's uprising against Sheikh Hasina after her refusal to comply with US demands for a military base on Saint Martin's Island. Several claims have been made that the CIA and the ISI were involved in the plot to overthrow Sheikh Hasina. In a post on social media platform X, Muhammad Yunus said, "The July movement itself was not a CIA-ISI conspiracy but a spontaneous outpouring of anger by students and ordinary citizens against Sheikh Hasina's brutal, authoritarian rule, which had suppressed democracy and led to widespread violence. Tens of thousands took to the streets demanding her removal after witnessing hundreds of deaths caused by her government's security forces." "According to a UN fact-finding mission, approximately 1,400 protesters were killed during this period. The narrative of the United States seeking to establish control over Saint Martin's Island is a baseless fabrication pushed by Sheikh Hasina's camp," Muhammad Yunus added. Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed recently alleged that Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-E-Taiba was involved in the uprising against his mother that led to her ouster. Since then, radical elements in Bangladesh have been emboldened and terror-accused have been co-opted into the system by the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus. The Lashkar-E-Taiba is a listed terrorist organisation with close links to Pakistan's spy agency, ISI. Sajeeb Wazed has also quoted BBC reports that say many of those allegedly killed by the Sheikh Hasina government are still alive. "The Yunus dictatorship won't even let them be listed alive and remove charges," Wazed posted on X. After coming to power, Muhammad Yunus has advocated for "stronger ties with Pakistan".
