Congress leader and former External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid, speaking in Jakarta as part of the all-party delegation, exposed Pakistan's continued ceasefire violations even after its DGMO requested India to stop hostilities during Operation Sindoor. Khurshid emphasized that India did not initiate the ceasefire call and only paused its strikes after Pakistan pleaded to stop. He pointed to chaos within Pakistan's army and civilian government, noting internal power struggles and a lack of control over military actions. Khurshid praised India's restraint, asserting that the nation's strength lies in its unity, regardless of political affiliations. Stressing India's rising global aspirations, he urged Pakistan to give up terrorism and recognize India's resolve. He said the joint delegation's message was clear: India stands united against terrorism and is committed to protecting its sovereignty through decisive action, as seen during Operation Sindoor.#salmanKhurshid #operationSindoor #ceasefiretruth #pakistanviolations #indiaunited #indiavsTerror #allpartydelegation #jakartaspeech #dgmocall #nationfirst #toibharat

Amit Shah in Kolkata: TMC demands Shah to quit over Pahalgam
The Trinamool Congress has demanded Union Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation over the Pahalgam incident in Jammu and Kashmir, and called on the senior BJP leader to take responsibility for 'all the failures' that led to the terrorist attack. Amit Shah, who was on a two-day visit to Kolkata, held a meeting with state BJP leaders and party workers at the Netaji Indoor Stadium, on Sunday. He hailed PM Narendra Modi for 'deciding to carry out Operation Sindoor' and came down heavily on the TMC and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for 'appeasement', which he also blamed for infiltration from Bangladesh. The TMC, meanwhile, accused Shah of playing politics in the name of Operation Sindoor at a time when TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee is part of a multi-party delegation of MPs, who have been sent to foreign countries to appraise governments abroad regarding the strikes in Pakistan. 'The Home Minister has to take responsibility for all the failures, and must resign. He has alleged that we have spoken against Operation Sindoor, but we have not said anything against it…He said our leader (Mamata) should ensure that there is no infiltration, but it is the BSF who is guarding… The Home Minister … is a failure,' said state minister Chandrima Bhattacharya. 'Pahalgam he had no information, due to their negligence so many died, have they caught all the terrorists? Not one, Jammu and Kashmir police belongs to whom?' TMC MP Sagarika Ghose said, 'The Home Minister has come to Bengal and acts like a BJP worker, using cheap language against our CM. Would any Opposition leader be allowed to talk like this?… Divisiveness is his politics… He is talking about infiltration, can he say how infiltration took place in Pahalgam? He has failed as a Home Minister and must resign.' She alleged, 'BJP is the biggest 'washing machine' that cleans away corruption cases… all ED cases are in opposition-ruled states… Suvendu Adhikari, sitting beside Shah has also been washed in the same machine.' 'What have you done for women? In the RG Kar case, the state police caught the culprit, what about Hathras, Unnao in UP? Do not play with women,' Bhattacharya said. 'BJP should stop the crocodile tears and should give West Bengal the money that is pending.' TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar hit out at Shah alleging that he is 'dreaming that BJP will come to power in Bengal in 2026'. '…They have come to sell sindoor, the PM had come two days back now the home minister has come. Sindoor is the pride of married woman in India, be careful your hands will burn,' Dastidar said.

Co-op recruitment scam:ACB seeks guv's nod toprosecute ex-min Anjana
1 2 Jaipur: The state anti-corruption bureau (ACB) has sought governor Haribhau Badge's permission to prosecute Congress politician and former minister of cooperation Udailal Anjana in connection with alleged irregularities in the recruitment of managers for Gram Seva Cooperative Societies (GSS). The case centres on the appointment of over 1,100 individuals who, officials say, were hired in violation of prescribed norms during the 2022–23 recruitment process when Congress was in power. Many of those selected were reportedly unqualified. Sources said ACB has already received approval to investigate some officers from the cooperation department under provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Anjana, a senior Congress functionary and former Lok Sabha MP, has been a prominent figure in state politics since the late 1980s. A three-time MLA from Nimbahera assembly seat, Anjana was also elected to Lok Sabha from the Chittorgarh seat after defeating former Union defence minister Jaswant Singh in the 1998 parliamentary elections. The case adds to Congress' recent troubles, following the former minister Mahesh Joshi's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in April last year for his alleged involvement in the Rs 900-crore Jal Jeevan Mission scam. An ACB officer said on condition of anonymity that the previous govt decided to regularise appointments made before 2017. For recruitments made after that, the Cooperative Recruitment Board was tasked with the process. But according to officials, key checks were ignored. The cooperative dept later raised concerns about the process and requested detailed data of eligible candidates, leading to further scrutiny of appointments. After allegations emerged linking him to the recruitment scam, Anjana told TOI Sunday he had nothing to hide and was ready to face any inquiry. Accusing BJP govt of targeting him Anjana said the govt should first investigate its own cooperative minister — Gautam Kumar Dak — before probing others. "He (Dak) has been accused of shielding individuals involved in corruption worth crores by using his political influence," Anjana said. He also pointed to alleged irregularities in the distribution of tractors through the Rajkishan Custom Hiring Centre. The ACB has been investigating suspected irregularities in recruitment within the cooperative department for several months. In Feb 2025, the agency launched a probe into a suspected scam involving the unlawful regularisation of nearly 100 contractual employees in cooperative banks in rural parts of Jalore district. ACB teams reportedly seized documents indicating irregularities in the screening process conducted between 2021 and 2023.

BCI chairman seeks release, fair trial for arrested Instagram influencer Sharmishta Panoli
Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman Manan Kumar Mishra on Sunday called for immediate release and fair trial for Sharmishta Panoli, the Instagram influencer who was arrested by Kolkata Police for allegedly making a post claiming the Hindi film actors were silent on Operation Sindoor. The senior advocate and Rajya Sabha member said that he was standing firmly with Panoli, whose arrest and judicial custody for a now-deleted social media video despite her immediate apology represented "an absolute failure of justice and a blatant assault on freedom of expression". The 22-year-old influencer, a resident of Kolkata and enrolled in Pune's Law University, was arrested from Gurugram on Friday night. She was on Saturday produced before a Kolkata court, which sent her in judicial custody till June 13. "It is deeply troubling that the same government that opposed Operation Sindoor -- a decisive counter-terror operation -- meant to avenge the brutal killing of innocents, now seeks to silence a young law student for questioning such similar double standards," said Mishra in a statement. A mere wrong choice of words cannot be called blasphemous and a young law student being made a scapegoat and subjected to harsh legal action, while past atrocities on particular communities by the government-sponsored persons and entities remained unaddressed was "unconscionable", the statement added. "True democracy demands impartiality, restraint and the equal protection of rights, not selective outrage and vendetta," the statement said. "I call upon the Bengal government and its police to abandon this dangerous path of targeting select voices and to uphold the rule of law for all. I demand Sharmishta's immediate release, a fair trial, and an end to the double standards that have long plagued the state's administration of justice," said Mishra.
