Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for alleging that elections in India were rigged and said that the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha does not have any proof to substantiate his claim."Rahul Gandhi said that he has prepared an atom bomb of proofs on the rigging of votes by the Election Commission... If he has an atom bomb of proofs, its atomic test should be done immediately," Rajnath Singh said while addressing an event in Patna."The fact is that he does not have any proof or evidence," Singh said.The Defence Minister also appealed to Rahul Gandhi to let the Constitutional institutions in the country do their duty."Making sensational claims is his habit. Earlier, he had made similar statements. Let Constitutional institutions do their duties. It is my appeal to Rahul Gandhi. It is good for Congress's health and good for democracy as well," the Union Minister said.Rahul Gandhi on Saturday asserted that the election system in India was "already dead," alleging that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections were "rigged" and that he has proof to substantiate the claim.Addressing the annual legal conclave titled 'Constitutional Challenges - Perspectives & Pathways', Gandhi said that he suspected over 80 Lok Sabha seats were rigged in the 2024 general elections."The truth is that the election system in India is already dead. The Prime Minister of India holds office with a very slim majority. If 15 seats were rigged, we suspect that the number is over 70 to 80, he would not have been the Prime Minister of India. We are going to prove to you in the coming few days how a Lok Sabha election can be rigged and was rigged," Gandhi said while addressing the gathering in the national capital.Highlighting the six-month investigation carried out by Congress, he further alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) doesn't exist and has disappeared. According to documentation received from the EC, Gandhi said that the Congress has ascertained that nearly 1.5 lakh voters out of 6.5 lakh who voted in the Lok Sabha elections were "fake"."It makes it clear that the institution that defends the constitution has been obliterated and taken over. We have such proof that will show the whole country that the institution of the Election Commission does not exist. It has disappeared. It has taken us 6 months of non-stop work to find this proof. You will see with zero doubt how a Lok Sabha election is stolen. 6.5 lakh voters vote, and 1.5 lakh of those voters are fake," Gandhi said.

SP Leader Sparks Outrage By Linking Uttarakhand Floods To Bulldozer Action On Religious Sites
Samajwadi Party leader ST Hasan has ignited a major political controversy by drawing connections between the devastating flash floods in Uttarakhand and the government's bulldozer operations targeting religious structures in the state. His inflammatory comments have triggered widespread condemnation across party lines, with critics accusing him of exploiting natural disasters for political gain and spreading communal discord. The contentious remarks emerged in response to the catastrophic cloudburst incident in Uttarakashi that resulted in five fatalities. Hasan's attempt to correlate the natural calamity with demolition activities against places of worship has been met with fierce backlash from various political quarters, including both ruling and opposition parties who have denounced the statement as inappropriate and divisive. Congress Member of Parliament Imran Masood delivered a particularly harsh rebuke, describing such statements as the product of mental instability. He emphasized that individuals making such inflammatory remarks should fear divine retribution and avoid spreading hatred through their words. His criticism reflects the broader political consensus against using natural disasters as fodder for communal polarization. Despite facing intense criticism from multiple directions, Hasan has remained steadfast in defending his controversial position. He expanded his argument beyond the immediate incident, claiming that various natural calamities are occurring due to severe ecosystem damage and indiscriminate deforestation practices. The SP leader argued that regardless of religious affiliation—whether Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, or Christian—all believers share faith in a divine creator, and consequently, places of worship including mosques, dargahs, and temples should remain protected from bulldozer operations. While acknowledging that authorities might evacuate such structures if necessary, he insisted they should be allowed to remain standing. The backlash against Hasan's statements has been particularly severe from the Bharatiya Janata Party leadership. Uttar Pradesh minister Danish Azad Ansari condemned the remarks as completely inappropriate, arguing that mocking such tragic events does not suit leaders of the Samajwadi Party. He criticized what he perceived as an attempt to score political points even during tragic circumstances, calling upon SP leadership to demonstrate greater sensitivity toward human suffering. BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari launched an even more scathing attack, accusing Hasan of deliberately communalizing what should be treated as a natural tragedy. He alleged that the former SP parliamentarian was insulting Hindu communities while simultaneously downplaying the genuine suffering of Uttarkashi's Dharali village residents who bore the brunt of the cloudburst disaster. Bhandari's criticism highlighted what he characterized as the Samajwadi Party's tendency to view even death and disaster through the lens of Hindu-Muslim divisions. The controversy has exposed deeper fault lines in Indian political discourse, particularly regarding the intersection of environmental issues, religious sensitivities, and political opportunism. While Hasan's concerns about deforestation and ecosystem damage reflect legitimate environmental issues that contribute to natural disasters, his decision to link these concerns with religious demolitions has been widely perceived as crossing acceptable boundaries of political commentary. Environmental experts and disaster management specialists have long warned that uncontrolled development, deforestation, and climate change are increasing the frequency and severity of natural disasters in mountainous regions like Uttarakhand. However, the scientific consensus focuses on these measurable factors rather than drawing connections to religious or political activities unrelated to environmental degradation. The timing of Hasan's remarks has also contributed to the intensity of the backlash, coming as rescue operations were still underway and families were grieving their losses. Political analysts note that exploiting human tragedy for partisan purposes typically generates negative public reaction across ideological lines, as demonstrated by the cross-party condemnation of his statements. The incident reflects broader challenges facing Indian politics, where natural disasters and national tragedies sometimes become vehicles for advancing partisan agendas rather than opportunities for unified response and genuine problem-solving. The controversy surrounding Hasan's remarks illustrates how quickly legitimate policy discussions about environmental protection and religious rights can be overshadowed by inflammatory rhetoric that prioritizes political scoring over constructive dialogue. The widespread rejection of Hasan's comments by leaders across the political spectrum suggests that there remain certain boundaries in Indian political discourse that are considered inviolable, particularly when it comes to exploiting human suffering for electoral or ideological advantage. However, the incident also highlights ongoing tensions between secular governance and religious sensitivities that continue to influence political debates in contemporary India.

No deletion in Bihar voter roll without notice, reasoned order: EC to SC
The Election Commission has told the Supreme Court that there would be no deletion of any voter's name from the draft electoral roll in Bihar without issuance of prior notice, affording opportunity of being heard and a reasoned order. The poll panel also said that statutory framework does not require it to prepare or share any separate list of names of people not included in the draft electoral rolls, or publish the reasons for non-inclusion of anyone in the draft rolls for any reason. The EC filed an additional affidavit in the apex court on Saturday, days after it came out with the much-anticipated draft electoral rolls in Bihar, enlisting 7.24 crore voters but knocking off more than 65 lakh names, claiming that most of the persons concerned had died or migrated. Separately, the EC also filed its reply to an application filed by the petitioner seeking direction to the poll panel to publish a full and final assembly constituency and part/booth wise list of names and details of approximately 65 lakh electors whose enumeration forms were not submitted along with reasons for non-submission. A bench headed by Justice Surya Kant is hearing the pleas against the EC's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. In its additional affidavit, the poll panel said the first stage of SIR was completed and draft electoral roll was duly published on August 1. "It is further submitted that, as a matter of policy and in strict adherence to the principles of natural justice, no deletion of any elector's name from the draft electoral roll, published on August 1, 2025, shall be undertaken without: (i) issuance of a prior notice to the concerned elector indicating the proposed deletion and the grounds thereof, (ii) affording a reasonable opportunity of being heard and furnishing relevant documents, and (iii) passing of a reasoned and speaking order by the competent authority," it said. It said these safeguards are further reinforced by a robust two-tier appeal mechanism prescribed under the relevant rules, thereby ensuring that every elector has adequate recourse against any adverse action. The EC said to ensure that no wrongful deletion from the draft rolls was carried out, strict directions were issued to prevent deletion without notice and a speaking order by the competent authority, with provision for appeals under section 24 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950. The poll panel said it is taking every possible step to ensure that no eligible elector is excluded from the electoral roll. In its separate reply, the poll panel said, "It is submitted that the statutory framework does not require the respondent (EC) to prepare or share any separate list of names of people not included in the draft electoral rolls, or publish the reasons for non-inclusion of anyone in the draft electoral rolls for any reason". "As neither the law nor guidelines provide for preparation or sharing of any such list of previous electors whose enumeration form is not received for any reason during the enumeration phase, no such list can be sought by the petition as a matter of right," it said. The poll panel said exclusion of a name from draft electoral roll does not amount to deletion of an individual from electoral rolls. It said draft roll simply showed that duly filled enumeration form of existing electors has been received during enumeration phase. "But, on account of human involvement in execution of this exercise of scale, there is always a possibility that an exclusion or inclusion might surface due to inadvertence or error," it said. The EC said prior to publication of draft electoral roll, it had directed the CEO and others to share with political parties the booth-level list of individuals whose enumeration forms were not received due to any reason and seek their assistance for reaching out to them. It alleged that the petitioner's approach was consistent with its earlier attempts to malign EC by building false narratives on digital, print and social media. "Such attempts should be appropriately dealt with by this court, and heavy costs should be imposed for petitioner's attempts to deliberately mislead this court," it said. The poll panel said admittedly, after the publication of draft rolls, political parties were supplied with an updated list of names of electors not included in draft roll so as to ensure that all attempts are made to reach out to them. "The political parties have acknowledged receipt of the said list," it said. The EC said, "In yet another attempt to mislead this court, the petitioners emphatically assert that a person whose name has been excluded from the draft roll has no recourse to a remedy as he/she cannot file a claim or objection". Referring to detailed guidelines of SIR order of June 24, the poll panel said it expressly provides for inclusion of individuals whose enumeration forms have not been submitted within the specified time. On August 6, the apex court had asked the EC to furnish by August 9 the details of around 65 lakh electors left out from the draft electoral rolls. NGO 'Association For Democratic Reforms', which has challenged the EC's June 24 order directing for SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar, has filed a fresh application seeking direction to publish names of around 65 lakh deleted voters with the mention whether they are dead, permanently migrated or not considered for any other reason.
