Satyapal Malik, former Jammu and Kashmir Governor, passes away
Former Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Satya Pal Malik passed away on Tuesday (August 5, 2025). He has also served as the Governor of Meghalaya, Goa, Odisha and Bihar. Malik entered politics in the mid-1960s inspired by the socialist ideology of Ram Manohar Lohia. He joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2004 and was appointed its national vice-president in 2012. He was a member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's team in the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha election.

Malik was the general secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee. He was elected to the Rajya Sabha before quitting the party in 1987 over the Bofors scam. He was one of the founders of the Jan Morcha, which later became the Janata Dal in 1988. Malik was appointed Bihar Governor in 2017. He was sent to Jammu and Kashmir in August 2018. He was at the helm when the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 was revoked on this day in 2019. He was transferred to Goa in October 2019. In just nine months, he was moved to Meghalaya. He retired as Meghalaya Governor on October 4, 2022.

Judges won't decide who's a true Indian: Priyanka Gandhi on court rebuking Rahul
A day after the Supreme Court rebuked Rahul Gandhi for claiming China had annexed a large stretch of Indian territory, saying a "true Indian" wouldn't make such a remark, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi slammed the remarks, asserting it's not for judges to decide who qualifies as a true Indian."With all due respect to the judiciary, it is not for them to determine who is a true Indian and who is not. The judges will not decide that," Priyanka Gandhi said, speaking to reporters outside the leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, it is Rahul Gandhi's duty to ask questions of the government, the Wayanad MP added. Her remarks come amid a heated political debate sparked by the top court's comments during a hearing of a defamation case against Gandhi. Hearing Rahul Gandhi's challenge against a defamation case over his remarks during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, where he claimed that over 2,000 kilometres of Indian territory were annexed by China and that Indian soldiers were thrashed by the Chinese army, the Supreme Court asked, "How did you know about 2,000 km being annexed by the Chinese?" and remarked, "If you're a true Indian, you wouldn't say it."Priyanka further said, "Rahul Gandhi has always respected the Army and our soldiers... It is the responsibility of the Leader of the Opposition to question the government, and that is what he does."The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the proceedings against Gandhi before a Lucknow court over his remarks about the Army during his December 2022 Bharat Jodo the Supreme Court's censure of the Congress leader, the BJP took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of pledging to "strengthen China", while the Congress hit back, saying every patriotic Indian has demanded answers since the Galwan clash, but the government continues to "obfuscate the truth" with its "DDLJ policy -- Deny, Distract, Lie, and Justify".Calling Gandhi "China guru", the ruling party claimed that the leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha and his party also "hate" the Indian armed forces and that he is being "remotely controlled by foreign forces".Meanwhile, the Congress alleged that the PM Modi-led government is responsible for the biggest territorial setback India has faced since 1962, and accused it of pursuing "normalisation" with a hostile China because of its cowardice and misplaced economic priorities.- EndsTune InMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Rahul Gandhi#Supreme Court#Indian National Congress
