Reacting after Supreme Court's observations on Rahul Gandhi's defamation case, Amit Malviya took to X, stating, 'Rahul Gandhi is now a certified anti-national.'
The BJP IT cell chief alleged that Rahul sought 'support from foreign powers' during the 2024 elections. 'In the run-up to 2024, he sought support from foreign powers to dislodge a democratically elected Indian government. He has signed a secret MoU with the Communist Party of China — details of which remain hidden from the public.
Shortly thereafter, the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation received donations from the Chinese state, and went on to author a report that recommended opening India's economy to Chinese interests,' Malviya said.
He further accused Rahul of siding with China during a critical national security moment. 'During the Galwan face-off, when India was defending its sovereignty, Rahul Gandhi chose to receive a briefing from Chinese officials instead of Indian diplomats.
He routinely makes baseless and demoralising remarks about the Indian Army — statements that are amplified by adversaries,' he alleged.
Malviya also claimed that during multiple visits to the West, Rahul met groups and individuals hostile to India and 'often echoed narratives designed to undermine India's global image and obstruct its rise as a major power.'
Referring to the Supreme Court's remarks while staying the defamation case against Rahul, Malviya said, 'Now, the Supreme Court's stinging observation has only validated what Bharat has been saying all along.'

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court stayed the defamation case against Rahul but advised him to make statements responsibly in Parliament rather than on social media. The court asked him the basis for his remarks, saying, "How do you get to know that 2000 sq km land was occupied by Chinese, if you are true Indian, you wouldn't say such a thing." It further told him, "You are Leader of Opposition. Say things in Parliament, why do you have say it on social media?" PTI quoted the court as saying.

AAP accuses BJP of framing its leaders in 'false cases' after Delhi court dismisses case against Satyendar Jain
The AAP on Sunday slammed the BJP for allegedly framing its leaders in false cases and questioned who would compensate the families for the emotional distress caused by the serious corruption allegations. In a post on X in Hindi, former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal asserted that all cases filed against his party leaders are "false".(PTI) In a major relief for AAP leader Satyendar Jain, a special court on Monday accepted the CBI's closure report filed in a 2018 case against the former Delhi PWD minister and others related to alleged corruption in hiring a creative team for the department, noting that the "investigation found no criminal activity or wrongful loss to the government." In a post on X in Hindi, former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal asserted that all cases filed against his party leaders are "false". "With time, the truth will come out in all these cases. False cases were filed against us, and we were sent to jail. Shouldn't those who filed these false cases, and those leaders who ordered these false cases, be sent to jail? We were smeared with mud day and night, our families had to endure so much pain — what about compensating for all that?" the AAP supremo said on X. While accepting the CBI's closure report, Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh said the investigating agency has not found any incriminating evidence over such a long period, and further proceedings would serve no useful purpose. "Whenever they wanted, they filed fake cases; whenever they wanted, they sent us to jail; and whenever they felt like it, they filed a 'closure report.' Is this justice?" Kejriwal questioned. Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia also posted on X, "Three things cannot remain hidden for long: the sun, the moon, and the truth. – Gautam Buddha. No evidence found against Satyendar Jain: CBI." "The BJP put in all its might, but victory always belongs to the truth. Satyameva Jayate," Sisodia said in his post. The agency had registered the case on May 28, 2018, on a reference from the office of the Lieutenant Governor of the NCT of Delhi to investigate the allegations of irregularities in the award of a tender to a private company for hiring a creative team for PWD works. Four years later, the CBI filed a closure report in the matter, underlining that there was "no evidence of pecuniary advantage, conspiracy, or corruption". AAP's Delhi state convener Saurabh Bharadwaj said the "conspiracy" of the BJP had been exposed. "The conspiracy of BJP exposed. False cases by CBI revealed. The despicable thinking of BJP's central government and their LG - file false cases against Kejriwal's government ministers and MLAs to hinder their work, defame them in the name of corruption. Now the truth is coming to light,' he said in a post on X in Hindi. Echoing similar views, former Delhi minister Atishi said in a press conference, "Since the AAP government was formed in Delhi, the BJP has filed false cases against our leaders. In 10 years, more than 200 cases have been filed against our leaders. When these cases go to court, it comes to light that AAP leaders have done nothing wrong." Atishi said the CBI court has accepted that there was not a single penny of corruption in Jain's case and has declared him innocent.

Judicial Commission on Kaleshwaram project holds KCR accountable for 'irregularities"
Hyderabad: The judicial commission appointed by the Telangana government on the Kaleshwaram project held former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao accountable "directly and vicariously" for the irregularities with regard to construction and other aspects. The state cabinet on Monday discussed and accepted the commission's report in its meeting held at the Secretariat, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy told reporters. Briefing reporters after the cabinet meeting, Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy, flanked by CM Reddy and other ministers, said the commission, in its report, also found fault with T Harish Rao, a nephew of KCR who was irrigation minister during the BRS regime, and also the then finance minister Eatala Rajender (now a BJP MP). The CM said the government would soon call for a meeting of the Assembly and decide its future course of action on the report after a thorough debate on the matter. The commission, headed by former Supreme Court judge P C Ghose, submitted its report to the government on July 31. Then CM KCR (K Chandrasekhar Rao) was held "directly and also vicariously accountable for the irregularities and the illegalities in planning, construction, completion, operation and maintenance of the three barrages", Uttam Kumar Reddy said, quoting the report. The commission also pointed out that the project lacked cabinet approval and works had started even without the final Detailed Project Report (DPR). The then chief minister is pre-determined and bent upon to construct the barrage at Medigadda at his "free choice" and the authorities associated with the decision making facilitated them, a summary of the report shared with the media said. The commission concluded that the entire project was characterised by "rampant and brazen procedural and financial irregularities", it said. "The report underscored that the Kaleshwaram project, intended as a "lifeline" of Telangana, became a colossal waste of public money due to a profound failure of governance, planning, technical oversight and financial discipline, driven by individual decisions and undue influence of political leadership", it said. The damage to the barrages of the Kaleshwaram project was a key issue during the 2023 assembly elections in the state. Recalling that he had visited the Medigadda barrage of the Kaleshwaram project, along with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, before the assembly polls in 2023, CM Reddy said Congress, in its election manifesto, had promised to conduct a judicial inquiry on the alleged irregularities in the project if the party came to power. Countering the allegations against the previous BRS government and KCR, BRS leader S Niranjan Reddy demanded that the commission's report be made public instead of releasing its summary. He stressed that the commission's report can be challenged legally. The government is trying to divert public attention in the name of the report ahead of the local body polls, he added.

PM Modi To Address NDA Parliamentary Meeting Tomorrow
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the BJP-led NDA parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday, a get-together of the ruling alliance's MPs which is being held after a considerable gap. The NDA meeting comes a couple of days before the filing of nomination for vice president's election begins from August 7. The NDA will have to announce its candidate, whose election will be a certainty due to the alliance's majority in the electoral college, by August 21, the last date of nomination-filing and the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The meeting comes in the middle of a session which has been all but a washout so far, except for a two-day discussion on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, due to a united Opposition's ceaseless protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar by the Election Commission. PM Modi is expected to speak on a host of current issues as the Opposition has been raising the heat over the poll body's alleged partisan conduct favouring the government, and the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor. The prime minister is also likely to be felicitated by the parliamentary party over his government's military response to the terror strike. The electoral college for the vice president poll includes MPs of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, and its current strength is 782. If the Opposition also names a candidate, a distinct possibility, then the poll is scheduled to be held on September 9. Since the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, when the BJP lost its majority but comfortably crossed the halfway mark with allies, the sessional meeting of the party's MPs was expanded to include its allies. PM Modi had addressed the first such meeting on July 2. However, no meeting has been held in the last few sessions. Before the last national elections, he used to address the weekly meetings of BJP parliamentary party, now expanded to include party's allies such as the TDP, JD(U), and LJP (Ram Vilas). The meeting is attended by MPs of the ruling alliance, and PM Modi often covers a sweep of political and governance issues, and at times touches on the government's agenda in Parliament. He often offers to the MPs talking points to be raised in public, especially their constituencies.
