Rahul Gandhi's unannounced visit to DU Student Union (DUSU) office leaves officials, ABVP fuming
The Delhi University has objected to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's unannounced visit to the North Campus on May 23, calling it a breach of institutional protocol and a disruption of student governance operations. The proctor's office issued a statement saying that Rahul Gandhi visited unannounced for the second time. Rahul Gandhi, who is also the leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, interacted with students from Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBC) at the DU's North Campus, focusing on issues of representation, equality and academic justice. The session was held at the office of the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) president. He remained in the DUSU office for almost an hour, during which the area was cordoned off by security personnel. The university criticised the visit for disrupting the functioning of a key student body.#rahulgandhi #congress #delhiuniversity #dunorthcampus #dusu #studentunion #dustudentunion #studentpolitics #rahulgandhiduvisit #toibharat

West Bengal: Monsoon session to begin from Monday
West Bengal Assembly Speaker Biman Banerjee is set to introduce a resolution in the coming monsoon session that will begin on Monday, condemning the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, in Jammu and Kashmir and commend the Army's response in the Baisaran valley, after the attack. The resolution will not reference 'Operation Sindoor', sources said. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to participate in the discussion when the resolution is brought to the House on Tuesday. The CM was scheduled to visit New Delhi on Monday, but according to state administration sources her plan has been deferred. 'This House expresses its profound sense of shock and anguish at the barbaric and inhumane attack perpetrated on innocent tourists in the Baisaran valley of Jammu and Kashmir on the April 22, 2025, which resulted in the tragic loss of 26 innocent lives, including three from West Bengal,' the resolution states. 'This House commends the coordinated efforts of the different wings of the Indian Armed Forces in targeting with absolute precision and destroying major terrorist infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and places on record its gratitude and appreciation for their relentless efforts in protecting the pride and dignity of the Nation; This House also commends the people of the country and especially of Jammu and Kashmir for their extraordinary display of unity, compassion and resilience in the aftermath of the attack; and … strongly condemns this brutal attack and at the same time salutes the discipline, dedication and courage shown by the different wings of the Indian Armed Forces in combatting militant and terrorist activities and safeguarding the sovereignty of the Nation,' it further stated. The Trinamool Congress (TMC), in the upcoming monsoon session, will move motions on drinking water issues and Ganges river erosion in Malda and Murshidabad districts. The state government is also likely to bring an Other Backward Class (OBC) reservation Amendment bill, proposing to add 76 new castes to the OBC list. The state Cabinet, last Monday, approved adding 76 new castes to the OBC list, bringing the total to 140 ethnic groups, based on recommendations from the West Bengal Commission for Backward Classes, an official said. Additionally, Farakka in Murshidabad district will be upgraded to a subdivision. Meanwhile, the BJP plans to introduce a motion on the Murshidabad riots.

BJP slams Rahul Gandhi, calls him Pakistan's spokesperson
Rahul Gandhi (Picture credit: PTI) NEW DELHI: On the day when Rahul Gandhi 's surrender barb at PM Narendra Modi became a talking point in Pakistan as lawmakers and ministers used his remarks and statements to fuel their anti-India propaganda, BJP on Thursday attacked the Congress MP for alleging that Trump forced India to accept a ceasefire on May 10, with Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan saying he is promoting Pakistan propaganda. "Rahul Gandhi is Pakistan's spokesperson. Pakistan would not acknowledge this and he would deny this. But the Congress leader's conduct is the clinching evidence," Pradhan said, adding, "This is not a conspiracy theory, nor is it motivated by partisanship. The proof is in the public domain and for everyone to see. He has been Pakistan's trumpet." Pradhan said from accusing Hindus and Hindutva of violence to lying that India surrendered to foreign pressure to suspend Operation Sindoor , Rahul has unfailingly parroted Islamabad line. "He copies and pastes statements on Pakistan's website and exposes his stupidity," Pradhan said. Pakistan defence minister Khwaja Asif, in a viral video, could be heard speaking about Rahul's jibe at the Indian govt. "People of India are beginning to realise that their Prime Minister has surrendered," Asif claimed, in an attempt to save his own face after his humiliating takedown during Operation Sindoor. Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju also took note of the viral video and slammed the Congress MP for crossing the line, so much so that it seems to be going against the nation. "There is a limit to stupidity & opposition! There's nobody in Congress Party to tell him that being in the opposition party does not mean, to oppose the nation?" TNN

Two Attacks, Two Responses: UPA Donated Crores To Terror State Pakistan Post 26/11, Modi Made Them Beg For Water After Pahalgam
New Delhi: When terrorists backed by Pakistan slaughtered over 150 innocent Indians in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the country was still bleeding. Less than two years later, in August 2010, the then United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, led by the Congress, decided to reward the perpetrator. Yes, you read that right. While Ajmal Kasab, the lone captured terrorist, was still alive and the evidence of Pakistan's hand in the massacre was irrefutable, the grand old party decided to send $25 million (Rs 115 crore then) to Pakistan for 'flood relief'. A gift from victims to their killers. This is not fiction. This is the Congress model – a blueprint of the diplomacy, wrapped in misplaced virtue-signaling. Rahul Gandhi's political lineage, which had already failed to secure India's borders or respond with force, chose instead to write a cheque to a terror-exporting regime that had just soaked Indian soil in blood. While Indians mourned, the Congress extended a warm diplomatic handshake to the very state shielding terror masterminds like Hafiz Saeed. At a time when even speaking to Pakistan should have been unthinkable, then External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna proudly told Parliament, 'We cannot remain unconcerned with this grave humanitarian crisis... The Government has decided to increase its assistance to Pakistan from 5 million US dollars to 25 million US dollars.' The Congress tried to justify the aid by wrapping it in the rhetoric of regional solidarity. Krishna claimed, 'Prime Minister has rightly said that in such times of natural disasters, all of South Asia should rise to the occasion…' August 2010: Barely 2 years after 26/11, where 150+ Indians were slaughtered, UPA Govt announced $25 MILLION aid to Pakistan for 'Flood Relief' Kasab was alive. Proofs were out. But Congress still rewarded the enemy. This is Congress model. Rahul Gandhi's philosophy. — The Analyzer (News Updates) (@Indian_Analyzer) May 23, 2025 But Indians asked then and still ask today, What solidarity did Pakistan show when it sent terrorists to Mumbai, Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Pulwama and now Pahalgam? Now Contrast That With Modi's India Fast forward to 2025. Another Pakistan-backed bloodbath in Pahalgam claims 26 more Indian lives, mostly tourists. But this time, India's response was not folded hands. It was a clenched fist. Within hours, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the Centre swiftly decided and put the Indus Waters Treaty – a pact in place since 1960 that gifted Pakistan unfettered access to India's rivers – into abeyance. The move stunned Islamabad. No Indian government had dared to touch this treaty, even during wars. Modi did it after one terror attack. The practical effect? India began diverting water from the Ravi, Beas and Sutlej rivers, constructing bypass channels and storage systems to redirect flow into Indian fields and reservoirs. Harike and Hussainiwala barrage gates were shut. The symbolic dam of restraint was finally broken. Pakistan's Fields Begin Turning Barren The impact on Pakistan has been devastating. With drastically reduced inflow to Mangla and Tarbela dams, Sindh and Punjab provinces are witnessing crop failures on a massive scale. Cotton, sugarcane and wheat, the backbone of Pakistan's agrarian economy, are withering. Tubewells are drying up. Angry farmers have staged protests across Multan and Bahawalpur, blaming Islamabad's 'jihadi diplomacy' for provoking India into retaliation. Four formal pleas have been sent by Pakistan to India seeking talks to reinstate the treaty. They even appealed to the World Bank to mediate. New Delhi's answer? Silence. The message – 'Terror has a cost. You will now pay it in water.' Apart from the water blockade, India has revoked trade ties, recalled the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status for Pakistan, restricted visas and cut back power grid cooperation in Jammu and Kashmir's border areas. National security agencies have fast-tracked cross-border strike protocols and armed forces have been given greater latitude to respond to infiltration. Meanwhile, the BJP leadership has categorically ruled out any talks unless Pakistan shuts down terror camps and hands over fugitives like Dawood Ibrahim and Hafiz Saeed. Two Attacks, Two Responses What India saw in 2011 was a government that bled and bowed. What it sees now is a government that strikes and stands firm. This is not only about aid or diplomacy, it is about intent. The Congress sent dollars. Modi shut dams. The Congress appealed for peace. Modi enforced pressure. The Congress forgave terror. Modi made terror pay. The difference? The Congress bent. Modi stood tall.
