Delhi Confidential: Action Replay
Even with virtual hearings in place, there seems to be no respite from crowding inside the Supreme Court. On Wednesday, soon after a bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and A G Masih finished hearing petitions in connection with alleged recovery of cash from the residence of High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma, a lawyer who was to appear in the next matter pleaded virtually from outside the court to pass it over saying the courtroom is congested and he is unable to enter. 'I'm just outside the court. The court is very congested. There is no way to come inside. Kindly pass it over,' the lawyer urged. The bench, however, said that it may not sit post-lunch and agreed to take up the case after 10 days.
Participating in the debate on extension of the President's rule in Manipur on Wednesday, Congress MP from Inner Manipur Bimol Akoijam went on to accuse the Centre and the erstwhile state government of being in 'collusion'. He even said that former Manipur CM Biren Singh was doing everything with the consent of PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This was immediately objected to by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey who cited parliamentary rules to suggest that the Governor rule could not be discussed in the House. Akoijam, however, chose not to engage on the issue citing paucity of time and continued speaking, making the same allegations.

Gandhi participated in the protest march by Opposition MPs from Parliament House to the EC office, but was prevented midway by the police and detained. They (EC) cannot talk as the truth is before the entire nation," he said as he was being taken away in a bus by the police.

DGCA Investigates Air India After Congress MP KC Venugopal's Shocking Near-Death Flight Experience
Congress leader and party general secretary KC Venugopal has narrated a chilling account of Air India flight AI 2455 from Thiruvananthapuram to Delhi, which made an emergency diversion to Chennai on Sunday night. The flight, carrying several Members of Parliament, was delayed at departure before being hit by unprecedented turbulence shortly after take-off. Venugopal said a suspected technical fault forced the pilot to divert to Chennai, but what followed was even more nerve-racking, nearly two hours of circling before a failed first landing attempt. 'Another aircraft was reportedly on the same runway. The Captain's quick decision to pull up saved every life on board,' he wrote, adding that 'passenger safety cannot depend on luck.' Air India later clarified that the go-around was due to ATC instructions amid poor weather, not runway conflict. The DGCA is probing the incident as the airline faces increasing scrutiny over safety lapses following the deadly June 12 crash and other alarming episodes.#dgca #airindia #kcvenugopal #flightincident #aviationsafety #flightnews #india #breakingnews #airindiaprobe #midairscare #delhinews #thiruvananthapuram #chennailanding #atc #planeincident #breakingnews #trending #trendingnow #toi #bharat #toibharat #indianews Read More

Rahul Gandhi told reporters while being detained, "The reality is that they cannot talk. The truth is in front of the country. This fight is not political. This fight is to save the Constitution. This fight is for One Man, One Vote. We want a clean, pure voters list." Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra told ANI, "Dare hue hai. Sarkaar kaayar hai" (They are scared. The Government is a coward). The other leaders who were detained were Shive Sena Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, and TMC MP Sagarika Ghose. The detained MPs were coralled into a bus to be taken to the Parliament Street police station. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav was seen jumping over barricades as Delhi Police stopped the INDIA bloc MPs from marching to the Election Commission's office The Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister could be seen climbing over the barricades, installed by the police to block the protesting MPs. Akhilesh Yadav jumped to the other side to continue the protest. "They are using the police to stop us," Akhilesh Yadav shouted after crossing the barricades. "We are protesting peacefully. We consider Mahatma Gandhi as our ideal..." Supriya Sule said. Senior INDIA bloc leaders- Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, NCP SCP chief Sharad Pawar also joined the protest. The protest march began from the Makar Dwar of the Parliament under the leadership of Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi.

The Delhi Police said that the MPs did not take permission for the march. BJP leader and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has accused the Congress of misleading the public. "The country can see if there is anyone who is working against the Constitution, it is led by Rahul Gandhi. SIR is not happening for the first time in the country. Congress lies about EVMs, raises the issue of Maharashtra elections, Haryana elections and creates a mountain of lies. It is their well-thought-out strategy to create a state of anarchy I appeal to the Opposition and the Congress party to raise all issues in discussion on Operation Sindoor in Parliament, the Opposition and Congress had no agenda.
