Vice-President Dhankhar faints at Kumaon University programme
Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar fainted on Wednesday (June 25, 2025) while attending the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Kumaon University here.
As the Vice-President stepped down from the dais after delivering his speech, he approached his former parliamentary colleague, Mahendra Singh Pal, who was seated in the audience.
Mr. Pal, an advocate in the High Court of Uttarakhand, served as a Lok Sabha MP in 1989 when Mr. Dhankhar was also an MP from Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan.
Both men appeared to become emotional upon seeing each other. After talking to each other for a while, Mr. Dhankhar embraced Mr. Pal and appeared to pass out on his shoulders. Noticing something was wrong, the medical team accompanying the Vice-President quickly responded and brought him back to consciousness.
Mr. Dhankhar soon recovered and proceeded to the Raj Bhawan, where he would spend the night.
The Vice-President began his three-day visit to Nainital on Wednesday (June 25, 2025).

In Parliament vs Constitution Row, Chief Justice BR Gavai Weighs In, Says...
New Delhi: The Constitution is the final legal authority in a democracy and all three wings - the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary - must work together and under it, Chief Justice of India BR Gavai said Wednesday at a private event in his hometown of Amravati in eastern Maharashtra. On the face of it, the the Chief Justice was referring to Supreme Court's judgment in the 1973 Kesavananda Bharti case and the 'basic structure' doctrine - i.e., fundamental features of the Constitution cannot be altered or destroyed through amendments passed by Parliament. The remarks, however, have also been seen as a reminder to recent criticism of the judiciary - inlcuding Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party - over a landmark verdict that set deadlines for the President and state Governors to clear bills. "There is always a discussion as to which wing of democracy - executive, legislature or judiciary - is supreme. Many say and believe Parliament is supreme but, for me, it is the Constitution..." "A judge does not become independent just by passing orders against the government... a judge should always remember his/her duty. We are custodians of the rights of citizens and constitutional values and principles. We don't just have power... a duty is cast upon us." "A judge should not be guided by what people will say about their judgment... We have to think independently. What people say (about the judiciary) cannot affect our decision-making." The Chief Justice's sobering words were seen as a pointed response to Mr Dhankhar's attacks in April and May, when he demanded the judiciary not "encroach" on other institutions' roles. Parliament Supreme, Dhankhar Insists In his comments in May the Vice President did not refer directly to the judiciary. But the Veep's April attacks were more pointed. A lawyer himself, he questioned the remit of the Supreme Court within the framework of the government as defined in the Constitution, holding the Parliament 'supreme' and MPs the 'ultimate masters' of the Constitution'. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar believes the Parliament is higher than the Constitution (File). "There cannot be any authority above them," he declared. Mr Dhankhar also referred to the Kesavananda Bharati case, but to make a different point. He contrasted that judgement with the 1967 IC Golaknath case to criticise the Supreme Court for making 'contradictory' statements in separate cases about the Preamble of the Constitution. "In one case, Supreme Court says Preamble is not part of the Constitution... in another it says it is... but let there be no doubt... elected representatives will be ultimate masters of what the Constitution will be," the Vice President, who is also Chairperson of the Upper House, said. What Was The Judiciary Row? The face-off between the judiciary and its critics was triggered after the Supreme Court's judgement on the President and state Governors withholding consent to bills. The court invoked Article 142 - which gives it special powers to pass orders "necessary for doing complete justice in any cause or matter pending before it" - in a judgement on a Tamil Nadu case. Days later Mr Dhankhar called Article 142 ' a nuclear missile against democracy '. He was joined in his attacks by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who claimed the Supreme Court is "taking India towards anarchy". The court took a dim view of Mr Dubey's remarks and sought an explanation. What The Government Said On paper the government distanced itself from the row and from Mr Dubey's remarks, insisting that respect for the judiciary is of paramount importance for a fully functioning democracy. The judiciary and legislature are 'two sides of the same coin', sources told NDTV in April. What Supreme Court Said Amid the flurry of criticism, Justice Surya Kant - the second in line to become Chief Justice - said the Supreme Court and its judges were not worried. "...the institution comes under attack every day," he said, also in April, as he heard a contempt of court case from Karnataka. Meanwhile, all this back and forth also triggered a political clash between the BJP and the Congress-led opposition, which accused the federal government of trying to weaken the independent judiciary.

One Nation, One Poll: JPC to meet July 11; key legal consultations on cards
This is an AI-generated image, used for representational purposes only. NEW DELHI: The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the 'One Nation, One Poll' initiative is scheduled to meet on July 11, 2025, at the Parliament House Annexe in New Delhi. The panel, headed by BJP MP PP Chaudhary, will hold consultations with legal experts and former officials as part of its ongoing deliberations on the proposed constitutional reforms, reported news agency ANI. The meeting is a part of the broader exercise to examine the Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill, 2024, and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which aim to enable simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. The committee's next phase involves seeking feedback from legal and institutional stakeholders to refine its recommendations. The proposed legislation, introduced in the Lok Sabha in December 2024, would allow the President to issue a notification on the date of the first sitting of the Lok Sabha, likely in 2029, to fix the schedule for future simultaneous elections. Under the plan, assemblies elected after 2029 would have terms ending with the five-year term of that Lok Sabha, aligning all future polls by 2034. PP Chaudhary has earlier stated that assemblies elected in 2032, including Uttar Pradesh's, may have shortened tenures to match the national cycle. 'Tenures of assemblies may be reduced to two or three years to ensure that all elections are held together in 2034,' Chaudhary had explained. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo The 39-member committee includes 27 Lok Sabha MPs and 12 Rajya Sabha MPs, with representation from across the political spectrum. Notable members include BJP's Anurag Thakur and Bansuri Swaraj, Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Manish Tewari, and NCP's Supriya Sule. The committee has so far visited Maharashtra and Uttarakhand, with plans to tour more states and Union Territories before finalising its report. The government has maintained that holding simultaneous elections will streamline governance, reduce the frequency and cost of polls, and minimise policy paralysis caused by the Model Code of Conduct. However, critics, including several opposition parties, have flagged concerns over its impact on India's federal structure and the autonomy of state governments. The July 11 meeting is expected to offer further clarity on the legal and logistical roadmap for implementing the 'One Nation, One Election' framework, a key priority of the Modi government.

Poor deprived of their right to dream: Rahul Gandhi flags rising costs of houses
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday (June 26, 2025) flagged concerns over the rising costs of houses, especially in big cities, and said the next time "someone tells you the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures, show them the truth about your domestic budget". Mr. Gandhi shared on his WhatsApp channel a media report which claimed that even for the top 5% of urban families by income in Maharashtra, buying a house in Mumbai would take more than 100 years of savings. "Yes, you read it right - and if you don't believe it, let me repeat it: 'To buy a house in Mumbai, even the richest five per cent of India's people will have to save 30% of their income for 109 years!'" Mr. Gandhi said. "This is the condition of most big cities, where you work hard in search of opportunities and success. And, where will so much savings come from?" he said in his post in Hindi on his WhatsApp channel. The inheritance of the poor and the middle class is not wealth, but responsibilities - expensive education of children, worry about expensive treatment, responsibility of parents or a small car for the family, the Leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha said. "Still, there is a dream in the hearts - 'one day' we will have a house of our own! But when that 'one day' is 109 years away even for the rich, then understand that the poor have been deprived of their right to dreams," Mr. Gandhi said. "Every family needs a comfortable four-walls and a roof over its head - but unfortunately, it costs more than your entire life's hard work and savings," he said. "The next time someone tells you the Gross Domestic Product figures, show them the truth about your domestic budget - and ask, who is this economy for?" Mr. Gandhi said.
