Iran To Punish Israeli Ally? Calls Grow Over Restricting German Access Via Strait Of Hormuz
The execution of Indian nurse Nimisha Priya, scheduled for July 16 in Yemen, has been postponed following the timely intervention of the Indian government and the Grand Mufti of India, Sheikh Kanthapuram Aboobacker Musliyar. Nimisha, a Kerala-based nurse, was convicted in the 2017 murder of Yemeni national Talal Abdo Mahdi and has been on death row since 2020. With diplomatic channels limited in Yemen, the Grand Mufti took it upon himself to reach out to prominent Islamic scholars and authorities in the region. He contacted renowned Sufi scholar Habib Umar bin Hafeez, who in turn initiated talks with Yemeni officials and the victim's family to explore possible reconciliation under Islamic provisions. The Grand Mufti called this effort a 'national responsibility', and India hopes for a peaceful resolution. The brief postponement has created a narrow but crucial window for dialogue, forgiveness, and justice with compassion.#nimishapriya #grandmufti #indiayemen #executionpostponed #deathrowindia #keralanurse #indiadiplomacy #pardoningunderislam #backchanneldiplomacy #justiceandcompassion #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews

Former Minister Meenakshi Lekhi suffers back injury on Kailash Yatra; airlift to Delhi delayed by weather
DEHRADUN: Senior BJP leader and former Union Minister of State Meenakshi Lekhi sustained a serious back injury after falling from a horse in Darchen, Tibet, during the second batch of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. She has since been brought back to Gunji, in Uttarakhand, with evacuation to Delhi delayed due to inclement weather. Lekhi, who was part of the second group of Indian pilgrims, fell while on horseback during the journey in Tibet, making it impossible for her to continue. She was swiftly rescued by personnel of the 7th Battalion of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) at Lipulekh Pass and subsequently brought to the ITBP camp in Gunji. 'She is currently under medical supervision at the Gunji camp. According to ITBP doctors, she is stable and fit for air travel, and is expected to be flown directly to Delhi on Monday, weather permitting,' said an administrative official. While initial plans involved airlifting Lekhi to Dehradun from Nabhidhang, she has reportedly expressed a preference to return directly to Delhi. The Pithoragarh district administration has completed preparations for the same. However, poor visibility and incessant rain in Gunji and surrounding areas have hampered helicopter operations. 'The helicopter could not take off due to unfavourable weather conditions, and there is no immediate sign of improvement,' said an official on Sunday. Lekhi is said to be disappointed at being unable to complete the pilgrimage, which she had undertaken with great enthusiasm. This year, 750 Indian pilgrims were selected for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, 500 via Nathula Pass in Sikkim, and 250 via Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand. Lekhi's group included 48 pilgrims, comprising 34 men and 14 women. The first batch of pilgrims has returned, while the third batch is currently in Tibet. The fourth and fifth batches are scheduled to arrive at the Dharchula base camp on August 5 and 9, respectively.

Have mutual respect, avoid personal attacks: VP Dhankhar to political parties
New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Sunday called for bonhomie and mutual respect amongst the political parties. 'I appeal to everyone in the political spectrum - please have mutual respect. Please don't use unbecoming language on television or otherwise against the leadership of one party or the other. This culture is not our civilizational essence. We have to be careful with our language. Avoid personal attacks. I appeal to politicians. Time for us to stop calling politicians names. It does no good to our culture when, in various political parties, people take on senior people of other political parties and call them names,' he said. He said that we must have an absolute sense of decorum, mutual respect, and that is the demand of our culture. 'We otherwise cannot have unity in our thought process. Trust me, if political dialogue takes place at a higher level, if leaders mingle more frequently. They have greater discourse among themselves. They exchange ideas at an individual level - the interest of the nation will be served. Why should we fight amongst ourselves? Let us not look for enemies within,' he said. He pointed out that every Indian political party and every parliamentarian, to his knowledge, is a nationalist at the end of the day, and believes in the nation. 'He believes in the progress of the nation. Democracy is never of a kind where the same party will ever come to power. We have seen in our lifetime, the change takes place at the state level, at the panchayat level, at the municipal level, that's a democratic process. But one thing is for sure: there has to be continuity of development, continuity of our civilisational ethos, and that comes only from one aspect. We must respect democratic culture.' 'A thriving democracy, friends, cannot afford an atmosphere of constant acrimony…..Your mind must be disturbed when you find political acrimony, when you find a political atmosphere in a different direction. I urge everyone in the country to bring the political temperature must be brought down. Politics is not confrontation; politics can never be unidirectional,' he said. The Vice President added that there will be different political thought processes, but politics means achieving the same objective, but somehow in different ways. 'I strongly believe no person in this country will think against the nation. I cannot visualise a political party being against the concept of Bharat. They may have different ways, different thinking, but they must learn to discuss with each other, have a dialogue with each other. Confrontation is not a way out. When we fight amongst ourselves, even in the political arena, we are strengthening our enemy. We are giving them enough material to divide us. Therefore, young minds are a great pressure group. You have a very strong power. Your thought process will control the politician, your parliamentarian, your legislator, your corporator. Think of the nation. Think of the development,' he added. Addressing the inaugural programme for the eighth batch of participants of the Rajya Sabha Internship Programme (RSIP) at the Vice-President's Enclave, Dhankhar underlined, 'Let us not have politics when there is national interest, let us not have politics over development, let us not have politics when it comes to the growth of the nation. Let us not have politics when it is an issue of national security, national concern, and that can happen because India has to stand proud amongst the comity of nations. We are well-regarded in the world. The very idea that Bharat can be controlled from outside goes against our claim. We are a nation, a sovereign nation. Why should our political agenda be set by forces that are inimical to Bharat? Why should our agenda be even influenced by our enemies?'
