Parliament Monsoon session: Priyanka, Akhilesh & Kanimozhi target government over Pahalgam attack
NEW DELHI: Charges of lack of "govt accountability" for repeated terror attacks , ceasefire under pressure and govt's refusal to "name" China echoed in LS as Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra , SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and DMK's Kanimozhi led the charge in targeting BJP over the Pahalgam attack and the conflict with Pakistan. Priyanka mocked that Pulwama, Uri, Pathankot terror attacks took place under then home minister Rajnath Singh, who later became the defence minister, while Manipur and Delhi burnt in riots and Pahalgam attack happened under Amit Shah, who continues to be home minister. Akhilesh said Pahalgam happened just like the Pulwama attack, with the same intelligence failure at its heart. He questioned the abrupt ceasefire just when India was on the verge of teaching a lifetime lesson to Pakistan. He attributed the ceasefire to "deep friendship", without naming Modi or Trump. About the killing of three terrorists coinciding with the Parliament debate, Akhilesh asked "why did the encounter happen only yesterday?" Opposition also slammed BJP for using the Pahalgam tragedy for "communal campaign". In a bizarre scene, as Priyanka named the 25 victims of Pahalgam "who were Indian", BJP members shouted they were all Hindus. The speech ended with her naming them, and Congress and BJP benches shouting "Indian" and "Hindu" respectively in loud chorus. tnn

AAP, BJP spar over flooding, Cong attacks Delhi govt too
New Delhi: After Tuesday's rain, AAP slammed BJP-led Delhi govt for "turning the capital into a pool", prompting the party in power to claim that the situation was brought under control within a few hours by joint efforts of the govt and Municipal Corporation of Delhi. Sharing videos of waterlogging on social media platforms, AAP functionaries claimed that the city completely "collapsed" within five months of BJP forming the govt. "Despite tall claims and promises of proper management by CM Rekha Gupta and PWD minister Parvesh Verma, even a brief spell of rain on Tuesday morning was enough to bring the national capital to a standstill," the party alleged. "Waterlogging inundated not just the inner streets but also the city's most posh localities, exposing once again the complete failure of BJP's so-called 'four-engine' govt to deliver even basic civic infrastructure. " AAP claimed that within days of lieutenant governor VK Saxena and Public Works Department minister Verma publicly congratulating each other for their "so-called efforts" to prevent waterlogging at ITO, the stretch was submerged once again on Tuesday. "This is ITO. On July 9, LG and PWD minister came here to inspect anti-waterlogging work and patted each other's back. Now that it's flooded again, please accept my congratulations too," Delhi AAP convener Saurabh Bharadwaj posted on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi He also posted videos of waterlogged roads in Connaught Place, Tibetan Market on Janpath Road, and near RML Hospital. Sharing CP's video, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal posted on X, "When this is the condition of Connaught Place, the heart of Delhi, it's not hard to imagine the state of the rest of Delhi. Just 10 minutes of rain and the roads have turned into ponds. In five months, where has BJP brought Delhi to? Is this the speed of the 'four-engine' govt?" Leader of the opposition in Delhi Assembly Atishi said even Civil Lines— home to both LG and CM—was waterlogged. She also posted videos of waterlogging in several parts of the city, including Panchkuian Road, Kamla Nagar Market, Sadar Bazar, Ambedkar Stadium near Delhi Gate, and Pragati Maidan. Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva said heavy rainfall continued across Delhi for over three hours, leading to waterlogging in some areas. "Due to the efforts of Delhi govt and MCD, the situation was brought under control within just a few hours," he said. Sachdeva claimed timely cleaning of major drains and sewers on key roads resulted in "significant improvement", unlike the situation in 2024 and earlier years, when even a light rain would flood roads for days. "The residents of Delhi felt the difference brought by the change in govt. The chief minister, the ministers, the mayor, BJP MLAs and councillors, and the NDMC vice-chairperson, stepped onto the streets and ensured that waterlogging was cleared within hours of the rain," he claimed. Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav slammed BJP govt for the "lack of preparedness" to tackle the monsoon chaos. "Despite giving extended deadlines, PWD failed to complete the desilting work," he alleged.

Enrolment on voter list is your biggest shield, CM tells migrants
1 2 Kolkata/Bolpur: Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday presented enrolment on the voters' list as a common shield against harassment of Bengali migrant workers in BJP-governed states and the special intensive revision of poll rolls, two potential problems facing TMC and a portion of the state's residents in the run-up to the 2026 assembly poll. "Enrolment in electoral rolls is going to be one's biggest shield in future," she said at a state administration programme in Birbhum's Illambazar, urging migrants working outside to return home at least once to get themselves on the voters' list. Banerjee also focused on students who were turning 18, telling them as well that voter enrolment was going to be their biggest protection, as well as "minority brothers and sisters who work outside". T he issue of Bengali migrants being put in detention centres in BJP-governed states has also reached Calcutta High Court, prompting judges to ask probing questions. Several Bengali-speaking workers, whose families stay in districts this side of the border, have been pushed into Bangladesh. "Just coming home for Eid isn't enough. You must ensure your name is properly added to voters' list. And do try to stay here. If others can manage to live here on their earnings, so can you," Banerjee said, insisting that there was an ongoing attempt "to implement NRC through the voters' list".

Protest if anyone's name is excluded. Demand answers from BLOs (booth level officers). I will not remain quiet even if one genuine voter's name is omitted," Banerjee said, accusing the Union ministry of home affairs of harassing Bengali-speaking people. "The torture is taking place under MHA directives. Bengalis are being persecuted and harassed across BJP-governed states. Many people went there for work long ago before Trinamool came to office. Some have been working there for more than 20-25 years. They are being put in detention camps despite having Aadhaar, PAN and land deeds; they are being taken from one police station to another," she said, asking them to return home. "There is no shortage of jobs. They can work here. We will facilitate their travel, arrange for their employment under Karmashree and get school admissions done for their children. The Deucha Pachami project in this district alone will generate 1 lakh jobs," she said. Banerjee, singling out Assam for sending NRC notices to people staying in Bengal, said govt of the neighbouring state should be ashamed. "Bengal does not need anyone's mercy to survive. Your party (BJP) was not even there during the freedom struggle. Where were you when Bengali stalwarts were fighting for Independence? We will not tolerate this linguistic torture. We will not tolerate any torture inflicted on the language of Rabindranath Tagore and Kazi Nazrul Islam. The people of Bengal will not tolerate you and your torture," the CM said, slamming central human rights agencies for ignoring the ongoing abuse. "How many commissions have visited states where Bengali-speaking people have been subjected to atrocities? Then, there is only omission and no commission," Banerjee said.
