Major gun battle between Maoists, security forces underway at Chhattisgarh's Indravati National Park
A major encounter broke out on Thursday morning between security forces and Maoists at the Indravati National Park in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district. The ongoing encounter started after a joint team of security forces undertook an operation based on specific intelligence about the presence of senior Maoist cadres in the area. This comes nearly a fortnight after Nambala Keshava Rao, alias Basava Raju, the general secretary of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist), was gunned down in an encounter along with 27 others in the jungles of Abujhmad region in Narayanpur district on May 21. Indravati National Park has seen two other major encounters this year between Maoists and security forces. On February 9, two security forces personnel and 31 Maoists were killed in an encounter at the national park. Before that, on January 12, five Maoists, including two women, were killed in an encounter with security forces. Back in August 2023, sources in the security forces had told The Indian Express that Maoists were recruiting new cadres in the national park, Abujhmad, and the Kanker-Narayapur inter-district border near Maharashtra. The fresh recruits are also being trained in the national park, the sources had said, adding that they had been using drones to track security forces. Security forces have since been trying to free the national park area of Maoists. Also, they want to build a bridge over the Indravati river that would connect the two states and help boost economic activities. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has set a deadline of March 2026 to eradicate Left Wing Extremism (LWE) from India. The security forces this year till date have 202 Maoists, of which 185 were in Bastar region alone — Bijapur is a part of Bastar region. This year has also seen the death of 17 security personnel in attacks by Maoists.

'There's A Limit...': Rijiju Slams Rahul Gandhi After His 'Surrender' Jibe Makes Headlines In Pakistan
Last Updated: Rahul Gandhi's remarks alleging that PM Modi had surrendered after a call from Donald Trump in the recent conflict with Pakistan made headlines in the neighbouring country. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his 'surrender" jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in connection to the ceasefire announced after Operation Sindoor. Rahul Gandhi stirred a controversy on Tuesday after he alleged Prime Minister Narendra Modi surrendered after a call from US President Donald Trump during the India-Pakistan military conflict. His remarks sparked massive backlash as the BJP accused him of speaking Pakistan's language. Rahul Gandhi's 'surrender" jibe even made headlines in Pakistani media, threatening India's recent diplomatic outreach against terrorism, with Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif falsely claiming that India had accepted that it had surrendered. Despite the backlash, the Congress doubled down on the remarks by posting an image of a Trump MAGA cap, which said, 'Narender Surrender". NarenderSurrender — Congress (@INCIndia) June 5, 2025 He also retweeted a post lauding former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who criticised Rahul Gandhi's policies and said he wanted to become the Prime Minister after working for only 20 minutes. What Did Rahul Gandhi Say? Addressing a party convention in Bhopal, Rahul Gandhi said the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, didn't budge in the 1971 war despite the US sending its Seventh Fleet. 'A call came from Trump and Narendra ji immediately surrendered – history is a witness, this is the character of BJP-RSS, they always bow down," Rahul stated after launching the Congress's 'Sangthan Srijan Abhiyan' in Bhopal. Rahul said that India split Pakistan in 1971 despite America's threat. The remarks sparked widespread outrage, with the BJP saying that the Congress leader lacks the seriousness and maturity that the post requires. 'By making extremely cheap, low-level statements, the self-proclaimed, self-styled, supreme leader, the leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, is telling the world that even after becoming the LoP, he lacks the seriousness and maturity that the post requires," said BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi. BJP's IT cell chief Amit Malviya, in an X post, wrote, 'History will remember: From Doklam to Pahalgam, whenever India stood united to defend its sovereignty and rise as a global power, Rahul Gandhi, true to the legacy of his lineage, chose to stand with forces opposed to India's political and economic resurgence." Even Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, who was part of India's diplomatic outreach, rejected the allegations, saying India never asked anyone to mediate in its conflict with Pakistan. It was Pakistan who requested India to stop its operations, he said. First Published: June 05, 2025, 15:48 IST

Abhishek Banerjee to skip MEA meet; TMC slams Centre for refusing special session NEW DELHI/KOLKATA: Trinamool national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee said he will not be attending the external affairs ministry meeting scheduled on Thursday and will instead write to EAM Jaishankar his take on the outcome of the delegation's trip. "We toured five countries in the past 15 days. On Thursday, the EAM will convene a meeting. But I will not be able to attend that. I have some pre-scheduled engagements. I was out of the country for some time. In the meantime, the bye-election for Kaliganj was announced. I have some work in my parliamentary area. I will be busy with that the next few days. I will inform the external affairs ministry about my opinion in writing. Once I inform the ministry, I will speak on that matter," Banerjee told reporters. This came on a day Trinamool MP Derek O'Brien lashed out at the Centre for "running away" from holding a special session of Parliament on Operation Sindoor . O'Brien made the remarks after it was announced that the monsoon session of Parliament would be held from July 21 to Aug 12. "All important matters" can be discussed in the session, Union minister Kiren Rijiju said, adding that every Parliament session was a "special session". "Parliamentophobia (noun) - My word for the acute condition of a (Modi) govt who have a morbid fear of facing Parliament. Running away from a special session," O'Brien said in a post on X. Speaking to reporters later, he said, "TMC studied the past announcements and usually the session is announced around 19 days ahead of the date of commencement. This time they announced it 47 days ahead. So scared!"
