He raised concerns over the alleged role of
US President Donald Trump
in the
ceasefire
during the Operation Sindoor.
The Congress MP wrote, "First, the sudden announcement of a ceasefire after the operation without briefing Parliament- has created confusion about its terms, timing, and stakeholders. Second, the President of the United States made controversial claims suggesting the ceasefire was externally brokered and that he personally intervened with Pakistan's military leadership. These statements, if unchallenged, risk undermining India's sovereign standing in regional security."
"Third, the Chief of Defence Staff made public remarks on the nature and location of Operation Sindoor at an international forum, raising questions about the protocols governing strategic disclosures," the notice read.

Temple demolished in Hyderabad for Muslim votes, says MoS Bandi Sanjay
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Sunday alleged that a temple was demolished in Hyderabad to get votes of 30 per cent Muslim voters in the upcoming by-election to the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency. He told media persons in Karimnagar that the Congress government in Telangana demolished the Peddamma temple in Banjara Hills for vote bank politics. He demanded that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy tender an apology and immediately suspend officials responsible for the demolition of the temple. 'How many Temples, Masjids and Churches are on roads? But what was the need to demolish the Banjara Hills Peddamma temple? The Congress government should immediately suspend the officials responsible. Is the government trying to appease a community who are 30 per cent in Jubilee Hills for votes in by-elections?' he asked. The BJP leader asked if the government has the courage to demolish places of worship of other communities. He stated that the Hindu community was ready to teach a lesson to the Congress government for demolishing the temple. The Minister of State alleged that the Congress betrayed Hindus and Backward Classes (BCs). Bandi Sanjay said that the 'BC declaration' released by the Congress at Kamareddy in the 2023 Assembly elections was in reality a 'Muslim declaration'. He alleged that the Congress wants to give 10 per cent reservation to Muslims and increase the reservation for BCs by only 5 per cent. The MoS also alleged that Hindus in Telangana were being projected as a 'minority' as part of a conspiracy of the Congress party. 'By giving reservations to 100 per cent Muslims, attempts are being made to show Hindus as a minority,' he said. He reiterated that the BJP would not allow 42 per cent reservation for BCs if Muslims are included in BCs. 'We have to stop this here as the Congress plans to implement this Muslim declaration across the country,' he said. Bandi Sanjay alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wants to weaken the Hindu community by breaching the 50 per cent reservation cap. He remarked that Rahul Gandhi would fail just like his great-grandfather, grandmother, and father failed in their attempts. On Congress leaders calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 'converted BC,' Bandi Sanjay questioned Gandhi's own caste and religion. He pointed out that PM Modi's BC status was recognised by a previous Congress government. 'Rahul Gandhi's grandfather was a Parsi, and his mother is an Italian Christian. Is Rahul Gandhi a converted Christian, a converted Muslim or a converted Hindu?' he asked.

Congress sidelines ally NC with solo push for J&K statehood, raising pressure on ruling party
SRINAGAR: For the first time since the formation of the Omar Abdullah-led government in Jammu and Kashmir last year, the Congress party has pushed its ally, the National Conference (NC), into an uncomfortable political corner. By unilaterally stepping up its campaign for the restoration of statehood, Congress has not only bypassed its long-time partner but also taken the battle to the national stage on its own terms. Congress, which contested the 2024 J&K Assembly elections in alliance with NC and won six seats, has so far refused to join the government, maintaining it would only do so once statehood is restored. Now, the party has intensified its push by organising protests in Srinagar, Jammu, and at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Top Congress leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, have written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding that a bill to restore statehood be introduced during the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament. Congress's assertive stance appears to have caught the NC off guard. While the NC campaigned on restoring Article 370, the issue was effectively shelved after the party formed the government.

Entire nation will be angry if India plays Pakistan in Asia Cup: Ex-RCB wicketkeeper
Former wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami has urged India not to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, even if they decide to participate in the T20 tournament. The former Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricketer said the entire country would be angered if India proceeds with their scheduled match against Pakistan on 14 to boycott the Asia Cup have been growing ever since the Asian Cricket Council announced the schedule of the continental tournament on Saturday, 25 July. The Asia Cup is set to be held in the UAE from 9 to 28 September, with the marquee India vs Pakistan clash scheduled for 14 and Pakistan could potentially face each other up to three times in the Asia Cup. The two sides could meet again on 22 September if both qualify for the Super Fours, and possibly in the final — a stage where they have never previously met in the tournament's history. Sources told India Today in June that India would neither host nor participate in the Asia Cup in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and said India are taking part in the Asia Cup solely because it supports the financial stability of other Asian Cricket Council members. Although the BCCI hold the hosting rights for the Asia Cup, they have opted to stage the tournament at a neutral venue."My read on the Asia Cup going forward is India to & must forfeit the game against Pakistan & let them qualify. We don't need to win the Asia Cup. The only reason India is participating [is] because it helps other nations economically, or else I don't see any reason. Ideally this is what should & must happen & if India decides to play against Pak it will make the nation angry! It should!" Shreevats Goswami wrote in a post on remarks came just hours after former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria questioned why India were prepared to face Pakistan in the Asia Cup, while Indian players had boycotted the World Championship of Legends match against Pakistan earlier in the 22 April terrorist attack claimed the lives of 26 civilians, mostly tourists, after gunmen opened fire following questions about the victims' religious identity. The Resistance Front (TRF), also known as Kashmir Resistance, initially claimed responsibility but later denied involvement as tensions between India and Pakistan escalated. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) identified TRF chief Sheikh Sajjad Gul as the mastermind behind the retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor on 7 May, targeting nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This marked a sharp military escalation, including cross-border attacks and strikes on Pakistani bases, which de-escalated after a bilateral deal to cease hostilities. Later in May, India dispatched seven multi-party delegations to 33 global capitals, including Washington, to highlight Pakistan's links to terrorism and garner international Asia Cup will feature eight teams, two more than the previous edition, which India won in 2023. India have been drawn alongside Pakistan, the UAE and Oman. Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Hong Kong comprise the other group. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the Super Fours stage, with the top two from that round advancing to the final on 28 September.- EndsMust Watch
