'Undeclared Emergency@11': Congress hits back at Modi government
NEW DELHI: In a scathing attack on the Modi government, the Congress on Wednesday alleged that over the past eleven years, Indian democracy has been under a systematic and dangerous five-fold assault that can be best described as 'Undeclared Emergency@11'.
The opposition party also claimed that there has been "unbridled hate speech and crackdown on civil liberties".
In a statement, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh alleged that government critics have been routinely vilified, hate and bigotry is deliberately spread by the ruling establishment, protesting farmers were labelled "Khalistanis", and advocates of caste census were dismissed as "urban Naxals."
"The killers of Mahatma Gandhi are glorified. Minorities live in fear of their lives and property.
Dalits and other marginalised groups have been disproportionately targeted, and ministers making hate speeches have been rewarded with promotions," he claimed.

Oil prices rise 2% as investors assess Iran-Israel ceasefire, Fed outlook
Oil prices climbed 2 per cent on Wednesday as investors assessed the stability of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, while support also came from market expectations that interest rate cuts could happen soon in the United States, the world's largest economy. Brent crude futures rose $1.31, or 2 per cent, to $68.45 a barrel at 0750 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained $1.24 cents, or 1.9 per cent, to $65.61. Brent settled on Tuesday at its lowest since June 10 and WTI since June 5, both before Israel launched a surprise attack on key Iranian military and nuclear facilities on June 13. Prices had rallied to five-month highs after the US attacked Iran's nuclear facilities over the weekend. "Geopolitical risk premiums have been reduced and will take a backseat for Chair Powell's first testimony to Congress (yesterday) has hinted at a slight chance of bringing forward the first rate cut of 2025 to should offer some form of floor on oil prices from the demand side," said OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong. Technical factors drove price increases during the session, he added. Lower interest rates typically spur economic growth and demand for oil. A slew of US macroeconomic data released overnight including on consumer confidence showed possibly weaker than expected economic growth in the world's largest oil consumer, bolstering expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Futures point to nearly 60 basis points worth of easing by December. On the geopolitical front, a preliminary US intelligence assessment said US airstrikes did not destroy Iran's nuclear capability and only set it back by a few months, as a shaky ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump took hold between Iran and Israel. Earlier on Tuesday, both Iran and Israel signalled that the air war between the two nations had ended, at least for now, after Trump publicly scolded them for violating a ceasefire. As the two countries lifted civilian restrictions after 12 days of war - which the US joined with an attack on Iran's uranium-enrichment facilities - each sought to claim victory. "While concerns regarding Middle Eastern supply have diminished for now, they have not entirely disappeared, and there remains a stronger demand for immediate supply," said ING analysts in a client note. Oil prices will likely consolidate at around $65-70 per barrel levels as traders look to more US macroeconomic data this week and the Fed's rate decision, said independent market analyst Tina Teng. Investors were also waiting on US government data on domestic crude and fuel stockpiles due on Wednesday. [EIA/S] Industry data showed US crude inventories fell by 4.23 million barrels in the week ended June 20, market sources said, citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday.

‘We don't have money and neither does Siddaramaiah': Karnataka Home Minister's joke triggers political storm
Agencies Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara What started as a light-hearted remark at a local public function has ballooned into a full-blown controversy for the Karnataka government. Home Minister G Parameshwara, speaking at the inauguration of a fire station in Badami on Monday, made an offhand joke that has now gone viral and stirred political mudslinging. During his address, he encouraged Congress MLA BB Chimmankatti to think ambitiously for the region's development—once the heart of the Chalukya dynasty. 'Draft a plan worth Rs 1,000 crore for the development of Badami assembly constituency and send it to the Union government. We don't have money, and neither does Siddaramaiah,' Parameshwara said. The crowd burst into laughter, but not everyone found it one sentence, delivered with a smile, has now become a lightning rod for didn't stop there. To drive the humour home, he added, 'After providing rice, lentils, and oil, the funds are depleted,' before gesturing towards Excise Minister RB Timmapur and saying, 'The 'enne' (liquor or excise) minister is right here.' That remark, too, drew chuckles at the event. But what was laughed off at the venue quickly turned into a political weapon online. The viral clip has dominated regional news, with opposition parties questioning whether the Congress-led state government is financially sound enough to deliver on its intense scrutiny, Parameshwara addressed the media on Tuesday to clarify his comments. 'I have not said like that, who said there is no money?' he said. 'I have defended the government, saying we have presented a record budget… as someone said things jokingly during the speech, I reacted in a similar fashion, that's all.'The minister insisted that the state is on firm fiscal ground. 'A sum of Rs 22,000 crore has been allocated for irrigation in the budget. Allocations have been made for the five guarantee schemes, and instructions have been made to prepare an action plan for Rs 50 crore in every constituency.'He added, 'I'm now saying officially that there is no financial distress in our government. I'm saying it very clearly. Sometimes, there may be a delay in the release of funds, as DPR and estimates have to be prepared before releasing money. There may be some delay in that; other than that, there is nothing else.'Despite the home minister's assurance, his now-infamous line—'We don't have the money, and neither does Siddaramaiah'—continues to echo across political has handed opposition parties an easy talking point as they raise doubts over the state's ability to fund its much-publicised welfare include key programmes promised by the Congress government, such as monthly cash transfers to women heads of households, free electricity, and guarantees of essential grains and food items to below-poverty-line the minister's defence may satisfy party loyalists, the incident has exposed how quickly political humour can backfire—especially when public welfare and fiscal management are under the the people of Karnataka, what matters most is whether development goals and social safety nets continue uninterrupted. The government has its task cut out: to reassure both the electorate and critics that behind the smiles, the budget figures still add up.
