Delhi court reserves order on Engineer Rashid's plea to attend Parliament
A Delhi court Tuesday reserved its order on an interim bail plea by Baramulla MP Engineer Rashid for attending the monsoon session of Parliament starting July 21. Rashid, who defeated National Conference leader Omar Abdullah in the Baramulla seat by over two lakh votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, has been lodged in Tihar jail since 2019 in a 2017 terror funding case. Represented by advocates Aditya Wadhwa, Vikhyat Oberoi and Nishita Gupta, Rashid argued in court that he should either be granted interim bail or permission to attend Parliament in custody, without payment of travel costs. The lawyers also argued that Rashid had been granted interim bail in September last year for campaigning for the elections and since this bail had been extended thrice, he could not be considered a security threat. Opposing his plea, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) argued that Rashid should not be granted bail and if he is allowed to attend Parliament in custody, then he should be made to pay the travel expenses. Rashid's lawyers argued that he shouldn't be made to pay travel expenses as he was seeking to attend Parliament as his public duty and not for some personal work. After hearing the arguments from both sides, Additional Sessions Judge Chander Jit Singh reserved the order for July 21. Earlier this year, the Delhi High Court had allowed Rashid to attend Parliament on two occasions – on March 10 and February 25. The MP was arrested on August 9, 2019, four days after the abrogation of Article 370 and the removal of J&K's special status. According to the NIA, Rashid used various public platforms to 'propagate the ideology of separatism and secessionism', and was closely associated with various terrorist organisations. The agency had also alleged that he wanted to 'legitimise' the United Jihad Council (UJC), a platform of anti-India militant groups in J&K. According to the NIA, Rashid's name cropped up during the interrogation of businessman and co-accused Zahoor Watali. After being chargesheeted in October 2019, a special NIA court framed charges against Rashid and others in March 2022 under Sections 120B (criminal conspiracy), 121 (waging war against the government), and 124A (sedition) of the Indian Penal Code and for offences relating to terrorist acts and terror funding under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

'ICC needs to look at the umpiring': Paul Reiffel in focus after 'anti-India' bias; facts tell different story
Ben Stokes of England talks with umpire Paul Reiffel on Day 1 of the 3rd England vs India Test at Lord's Cricket Ground. (Getty Images) India cricketers R Ashwin and Anil Kumble has raised concerns about umpire Paul Reiffel 's decision-making during the Lord's Test between England and India, suggesting potential bias in his decisions against India. During the fourth day's play, several controversial decisions led to heated discussions. A notable incident involved Joe Root being given not out by Reiffel to a Mohammed Siraj delivery, which replays showed would have clipped leg stump. Another contentious moment occurred when Indian captain Shubman Gill was given out caught behind off Brydon Carse, a decision later overturned on review. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "My experience with Paul Reiffel... You need to talk to him. You need to set him up. I am not saying that you ask him to give it out. But he has this thing... whenever India bowl, he feels it's not out, whenever India bat, he feels it's out. If this is happening not just against India but against every team, then the ICC needs to look at the umpiring," Ashwin stated on his YouTube channel Ash Ki Baat. Shubman Gill blames 'judgement error' as Rishabh Pant run-out haunts India in Lord's heartbreak Referring to the Gill decision, Ashwin commented: "See this. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo I have a sedan. That can go through the gap between the bat and ball here. When I saw this the first time, I felt it was not out." Ashwin further elaborated on his concerns about Reiffel's decision-making patterns: "But this wasn't the first time (a wrong decision was given). My dad was watching the match with me and he was saying, 'If Paul Reiffel is there, we won't win.' Whenever Paul Reiffel is umpiring, decisions go against India. When we are bowling, umpire's call is usually not out. When we are batting, there's no umpire's call (in our favour). There's something there. My dad says whenever he is umpiring, India lose." Anil Kumble shared his perspective on the umpiring after one of Siraj's deliveries trapped Joe Root in front of the stumps. Upon review, the ball was shown to be hitting the stumps but the umpire's call rule came into effect. "It seems Paul Reiffel has decided that it is not going to be out. Anything close, not out," said the legendary leg-spinner. Fact check: Does Paul Reiffel have an anti-India bias? India vs England: India fall short at Lord's, England lead series 2-1 The match saw 11 decisions being reviewed when former Australia seamer Reiffel was the umpire. With England batting, India took two reviews, one was overturned while the other remained as is on umpire's call. During India's turn to bat, India's review was overturned while England's stayed not out as they chased a wicket. During the second innings of the Test, India took four reviews with three coming out unsuccessful, including one as umpire's call. Only one decision came out in India's favour. As India chased the win, they were successful in overturning one of two reviews they took. England, meanwhile, suffered the frustration of umpire's call on a not out call. 'Pretty cooked': Ben Stokes after leading England to Epic Lord's triumph In total, of the 11 dismissals that were put to on-field umpire Reiffel and subsequently reviewed, seven came out in India's favour. England could celebrate only four times after a review. Statistical analysis of Reiffel's umpiring record in matches involving India presents a different picture. In 39 international matches across formats where Reiffel has officiated, India have won 23 matches, maintaining a win percentage of 58.97%. The DRS statistics show that out of 21 "umpire's call" verdicts in reviews against Reiffel's decisions, 11 have favoured India, representing 52.38% of such calls. In Test matches specifically, 14 out of 21 successful reviews against Reiffel's decisions have been in India's favour. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Pakistan's devious plan to pit India against Iran EXPOSED! Tehran foils Islamabad's conspiracy on social media, says...
(File) India-Iran relations: Barring Turkey and Azerbaijan, a majority of Muslim countries, including Iran, did not support Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan conflict. This apparently irked Islamabad, and its now spreading fake propaganda on social media platforms in an effort to spoil India-Iran relations and pit the two friendly countries against each other. Why Pakistan is trying to spoil India-Iran relations? A distorted map of Kashmir and Taiwan was shared on X (former Twitter) by an account called Daily Iran News, which shows the two regions as part of Pakistan and China, respectively. 'Taiwan is part of #China & Kashmir is part of #Pakistan. Do you agree?,' reads the caption on the X post. Notably, the account carries an image of the Iranian national flag as its profile picture, and also has a blue checkmark, which means its a verified account. Additionally, there are scores of other accounts carrying pictures of the Iranian flag, its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, or other Iranian leaders and military officers as their profile pictures– that spread anti-India propaganda and spew venom against the country. All these are believed to be fake accounts being operated by Pakistan with an aim to drive a wedge between India and Iran. How Tehran exposed Pakistani conspiracy? Sharing the controversial post on its official X handle, the Iranian embassy in India stated that the account calling itself 'Daily Iran News', does not belong to Iran, noting that 'some fake channels, under the name of Iran, are attempting to damage Iran-India relations.' The Iranian Embassy in New Delhi also shared screenshots of similar fake accounts which often criticize the Indian government and make derogatory comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Hindu community, and show Kashmir as part of Pakistan. The embassy strongly stressed that these handles are not Iranian, and their sole aim to damage India-Iran relations. 'We want to make it clear that these accounts do not belong to Iran,' it said. What is Pakistan's agenda? Post Operation Sindoor, Pakistan has accelerated its smear campaign against India on social media in an effort to spoil New Delhi's ties with other nations. During the recent Israel-Iran war, Pakistan-based social media handles spread the propaganda that India had betrayed Tehran, and was supporting Israel. However, in a proverbial egg on the face moment, Tehran has debunked and exposed all these conspiracies, calling them fake and malicious.
