Jaya Bachchan and
Jagdeep Dhankhar
's fiery clash
During a session already filled with tension,
Jagdeep
Dhankhar accused opposition MPs of 'disrespecting the Constitution and democracy.' As Dhankhar called on Jaya Bachchan to speak, she didn't hold back in expressing her discomfort with how she was being addressed.
'I Jaya
Amitabh Bachchan
would like to say that I am an artist, I understand body language, expressions. I am sorry to say that your tone is not acceptable. We are colleagues, you may be sitting on the Chair....'
The comment from Jaya led to an immediate and strong reaction from the Dhankhar. He said, 'Jaya ji take your seat. You have earned a great reputation. An actor is a subject to the director. You are not seeing what I see from here. I am a person who has gone out of the way. Enough of this. You may be a celebrity, but you have to understand decorum.'
'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan' – the name debate
Just days before the clash over tone, Jaya Bachchan had also taken issue with something else: being repeatedly called 'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan' in Parliament.

Though she is proud of her husband Amitabh Bachchan's achievements, she didn't hide her annoyance at being defined by his name.
She called it a 'new drama' and made it clear she was uncomfortable with women being constantly identified through their husbands' names, even in official spaces like Parliament.
Responding to this, Dhankhar had explained his side by referring to procedural rules. He said, 'However, Jaya Ji, the name that appears in the election certificate is what is used, and you can get the name changed; there is a provision for that.'
On the film front, Jaya Bachchan was last seen in the hit film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'. Up next, she is reportedly set to appear in 'Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling', a family entertainer directed by Vikas Bahl. The film also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and

After his meeting with Shah, he said their discussion centred on administrative matters, particularly the upcoming elections for local governing bodies like the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and other civic bodies in Maharashtra. 'I regularly visit Delhi during the Parliament session and, this time, our MPs also met the Union home minister. We discussed issues related to their constituencies, especially matters that require coordination with the central government," Shinde told reporters. 'In the NDA meeting held yesterday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Home Minister Amit Shah, mentioning that he is the longest-serving home minister of the country. The Prime Minister also expressed that Shah still has more work to do in the future, and the alliance partners honoured him for his efforts and contribution." The visit is part of routine coordination between central and state leadership, especially with the upcoming civic elections. The BMC polls, significant for all major political parties, are expected to be announced soon. During the visit, Shinde was accompanied by key members of the Shiv Sena and was expected to meet several other senior leaders in Delhi. He stressed that these visits are part of his regular duties as deputy, especially when Parliament is in session. His meetings with national leaders come at a time when coordination between the Centre and state is crucial to expedite development projects and ensure policy implementation at the grassroots. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Kharar realtor Ranjeet Singh Gill seeks anticipatory bail after Punjab VB raids, alleges political vendetta
Chandigarh: Apprehending arrest by Punjab Police, Kharar-based realtor Ranjeet Singh Gill approached the Punjab and Haryana high court on Wednesday to seek anticipatory bail. After hearing his plea, a single bench headed by Justice Aaradhana Sawhney referred the matter to the chief justice for directions after the Punjab govt informed the court that the matter is connected with an already pending petition filed by former minister Bikramjit Singh Majithia. A separate bench is hearing all cases that are related to the former and sitting MPs and MLAs. In his petition, Gill claimed that he was falsely and maliciously targeted by the vigilance bureau (VB), Punjab, solely on account of his political affiliation. Immediately after formally joining the Bharatiya Janata Party on Aug 1, Gill said, he became the subject of a politically motivated action by the state machinery. It was contended that acting under the influence of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the VB procured search warrants in an arbitrary and clandestine manner, without issuing any summons, notice, or requisition as mandated under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Paperela Undo The court was informed that multiple raids were conducted on Aug 2 at four of the petitioner's properties, including his residence, yet no incriminating material was found. However, now the notices under Section 179 of BNSS (corresponding Section 160 CrPC) have been issued, whereby he was summoned as a witness. "The petitioner is neither named in any FIR nor linked to the case by way of any disclosure or evidence, and the jurisdictional authority of the Vigilance Bureau does not extend to him as he is not a public servant. The entire sequence of events demonstrates a clear abuse of process, malafide intent, and political vendetta aimed at coercing and humiliating the petitioner for exercising his constitutional right to political association under Article 19(1)(c) of the Constitution of India," his counsel submitted. On Aug 1, Gill joined BJP in a hurriedly called meeting with Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini at his residence. On Saturday, the bureau raided his residences.
