Will lodge FIR against Imam, Akhilesh slighted Islam with such act: BJP minority morcha
BJP Minority Morcha president Jamal Siddiqui said that the SP supremo has broken the rules and customs of Islam by taking his wife Dimple Yadav along with him inside the mosque and also called for the removal of Imam Maulana Mohibullah Nadvi for facilitating 'political activity' inside the mosque.
He said that the BJP Minority Morcha will soon lodge a case against Maulana Mohibullah Nadvi, the Imam of Parliament masjid, who also serves as the Lok Sabha MP from Rampur.
Earlier, the All-India Muslim Jamaat president Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi demanded immediate removal of the Imam for violation of basic Islamic principles.
Jamal Siddiqui, speaking to IANS, said, 'Akhilesh Yadav is treating the sacred place of worship as his own property. I strongly condemn this act. Simultaneous entry of men and women in the mosque is forbidden. Though there are arrangements for women on the first floor of the mosque, Akhilesh and his wife Dimple Yadav were seated together. This is gross violation of Islamic customs.'
He also said that as per Islamic customs, women have to be fully covered but Dimple Yadav was not dressed as per Islamic conventions, and this amounted to a clear violation of their religious sentiments.
Jamal Siddiqui further said that he will also take up the matter with Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta regarding the misuse of position by Maulana Mohibullah Nadvi and continuing to occupy the accommodation near Parliament masjid despite having an MP bungalow allotted to him.
'Once he has become parliamentarian, how is he availing the benefits of Imam. He is using religion for achieving his political ambition,' he further charged.
He also called out the self-proclaimed defenders of Islam and asked why people like Asaduddin Owaisi, All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), were staying mum on the issue and not taking umbrage over violation of Islamic principles.

Cong's can't trust own EAM, it trusts some other country: Amit Shah
NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah while making his intervention in the Lok Sabha on Monday slammed the Congress for not trusting the statement of external affairs minister S Jaishankar on Operation Sindoor and instead believing the US President Donald Trump , and said that is why it is sitting in the opposition and will remain there for 20 more years. Shah intervened when the Opposition members were interrupting Jaishankar. "They (opposition) do not have faith in the minister of external affairs who has taken oath as a member of the Indian govt. They trust some other country. I know the importance of foreign (opinion) in their party, but it does not mean that they should impose this view on Parliament," said Shah.

Killing of terrorist who led Pahalgam strike blunts opposition's attack in House
Killing of terrorist who led Pahalgam strike blunts opposition's attack in House NEW DELHI: It was just a coincidence but it definitely blunted what seemed set to be one of opposition's lines of attack during the debate on Operation Sindoor . During the build up to the debate, opposition had looked prepared to corner govt for failing to nab the terrorists who massacred 26 civilians in J&K's Pahalgam. The killing of three alleged terrorists, including Suleiman, who is believed to the Pahalgam massacre's mastermind, in an encounter near Srinagar on Monday took the sting out of opposition's attack in the House. SP's Ramashankar Rajbhar, who had come prepared to question the govt on its "failure", did not drop the issue. "Why have the terrorists responsible for this attack not been arrested yet?" he asked. He referred to Rajnath Singh's statement about 100 terrorists having been killed in J&K and asked whether the number included those responsible for Pahalgam. The joy over the killing of Suleiman was articulated by BJP's Baijyant Panda, "As we are debating this issue, some of us must have seen in the news that Operation Mahadev is being conducted in J&K, targeted at terrorists and it appears that at least one of those eliminated today was involved in the Pahalgam attack."

Ceasefire had no linkage with U.S. trade: Jaishankar in Parliament
NEW DELHI In a clear rebuttal of the repeated assertions by U.S. President Donald Trump that he stopped the recent India-Pakistan conflict, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Monday (July 28, 2025) told the Lok Sabha that there was no phone call between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr. Trump during the tense phase with Pakistan after the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam. MEA S. Jaishankar denies involvement of U.S. President Donald Trump in India-Pakistan ceasefire Mr. Trump has said on multiple occasions that he extracted a ceasefire from India and Pakistan by threatening to cut off trade if they continued fighting. 'Sindoor an answer' Speaking in the Lok Sabha on the Operation Sindoor launched against terror bases in Pakistan in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack, he said the operation ensured that terrorists will no longer be treated as proxies. The military operation created a 'new normal' by conveying that cross-border attacks from Pakistan will draw an 'appropriate response', he said. 'I want to make two things clear – one, at no stage in any conversation with the United States, was there any linkage with trade and what was going on. Secondly, there was no call between the Prime Minister and President Trump from the 22nd of April – when President Trump called up to convey his sympathy – and 17th of June when he called up the PM in Canada to explain why he could not meet him,' said Mr. Jaishankar during the debate on Operation Sindoor. Opposition intervenes Mr. Jaishankar defended the multi-party delegations that were sent out to a number of countries to convey India's position on cross-border terror and to present the government's arguments on Operation Sindoor, even as the Opposition tried to corner the government on the repeated assertions by Mr. Trump. The Opposition's loud intervention prompted Home Minister Amit Shah to remark that they should hear out the External Affairs Minister first. 'India's External Affairs Minister who has taken the oath of office is making a statement here and they [Opposition] do not want to trust him but they have faith in some other country.' Also Read: Parliament Monsoon session LIVE Day 6 | July 28, 2025 It was on May 10, 2025, that Mr. Trump took to social media platform TruthSocial to announce a pause in the fighting between India and Pakistan, shortly before Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri announced the ceasefire before the media here. Mr. Trump praised Vice-President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for 'bringing the ceasefire into effect'. Thereafter, he has mentioned several times that his intervention brought about the ceasefire. On July 22, Mr. Trump repeated that he stopped the brief war between India and Pakistan that started on the morning of May 7, adding that five aircraft were shot down during the conflict though he did not clarify who owned those aircraft. 'They shot down five planes and it was back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. I called them and said, 'Listen, no more trade. If you do this, you're not going to be good…They're both powerful nuclear nations and that would have happened'. Mr. Jaishankar said the Operation Sindoor had brought in a 'new normal' in the relations with Pakistan. All issues with Pakistan will be settled through bilateral means, he said and ruled out the role of a third party. 'The challenge of cross-border terrorism continues but Operation Sindoor marks a new phase. There is now a new normal. The new normal has five points – one, terrorists will not be treated as proxies; two, cross-border terrorism will get an appropriate response; three. terror and talks are not possible together – there will only be talks on terror; four, not yielding to nuclear blackmail, and finally, terror and good neighbourliness cannot co-exist, blood and water cannot flow together. This is our position,' said Mr. Jaishankar presenting the government's policy on Pakistan and cross-border terrorism following Operation Sindoor. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Mr. Jaishankar's speech 'outstanding'. 'He highlighted how the world has clearly heard India's perspective on fighting the menace of terrorism through Operation Sindoor,' Mr. Modi wrote on X.
