Mahua Moitra fainted during Opposition march, claims Derek O'Brien
A protest march by INDIA bloc MPs to the Election Commission's office in the capital on Monday saw high drama, with Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra fainting midway and being attended to by party colleagues. TMC MP Mahua Moitra and other opposition MPs hold a protest against Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar at Parliament premises during the monsoon session, in New Delhi.(ANI) The Opposition MPs, led by Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, began their march from Parliament's Makar Dwar to Nirvachan Sadan, accusing the poll body of ignoring 'voter theft' during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and raising slogans of 'vote chor.' The demonstration also targeted the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar, which leaders alleged was being used to manipulate the voter list. Delhi Police stopped the MPs, saying no permission had been sought for the protest. Congress MP Imran Pratapgarhi countered that such permission was 'never' granted, accusing the police of acting on government directions. Samajwadi Party's Dimple Yadav alleged booth capturing in recent Uttar Pradesh bypolls, while RJD's Manoj Jha called the SIR a 'fraud' and accused the EC of withholding data despite Supreme Court orders. Congress MP Pramod Tiwari likened the march to Mahatma Gandhi's Dandi March, saying it was aimed at 'saving democracy.' Despite police barricades, Opposition leaders vowed to press ahead with their demand for electoral accountability.

Last mobile location helped when ground search, helicopters couldn't trace bodies: Kin of 4 octogenarians killed in road crash in US
The bodies of four octogenarians, including two from Ahmedabad, who had gone missing in the United States since the night of July 29, were found late Saturday in the West Virginia mountains, along the Big Wheeling Creek Road. After several days of land and aerial search yielded no trace of the missing persons or their vehicle, investigators used the last known mobile phone locations to zero in on the crash site. 'Since the area is a ravine with thick vegetation, nothing was visible from the ground during search operations. Helicopters also couldn't trace anything. When the mobile data was extracted, it pointed to a specific location, which led police to the bodies. The last signals from their cellphones were located near Moundsville and Wheeling,' Himani Divan, daughter of Shailesh Divan, told The Indian Express. She had been in touch with her cousins since the night of July 29. Dr Kishore Divan (89), Asha Divan (86), Shailesh Divan (87) and Gita Divan (83) were travelling by road from Buffalo, New York, to Prabhupada's Palace of Gold — an ISKCON temple in Marshall County, West Virginia — when their car reportedly went off the road and crashed. It was Shailesh and Gita Divan's first visit to the temple. The couple, residents of Ahmedabad's Satellite area, were visiting Shailesh's elder brother Dr Kishore, who had moved to the US 45 years ago. They had arrived in the US in early June and were scheduled to return next weekend. 'We informed the police when my parents' phones were unreachable late on July 29. We grew suspicious as they hadn't reached their destination. My uncle was driving. From initial information, it seems the car rolled into the ravine. Perhaps, they lost balance or misjudged a turn on the winding road,' Himani said. US authorities confirmed Sunday that the four had died in a vehicle crash. Their car was found around 9:30 pm local time Saturday, off a steep embankment along Big Wheeling Creek Road, about five miles from Prabhupada's Palace of Gold near the Pennsylvania border. The Divan family has historic ties to Ahmedabad's Proprietary High School Trust, founded in 1931 by Jivanlal Divan and Balvantrai Thakore. Himani said her great-grandfather Balvantrai Thakore and her aunt Asha's grandfather Jivanlal Divan started the school and trust together. According to the Trust's website, the two men participated in Mahatma Gandhi's 1930 Dandi March and were jailed. Fearing British seizure of assets, teachers transferred the school's ownership to a trust in 1931. The school was later renamed Divan Ballubhai High School and expanded over the decades to include nursery and English-medium sections. On Sunday, the Hindu Cultural Society of Western New York (HCSWNY) posted on Facebook: 'It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dr Kishore Divan, Mrs Asha Divan, Mr Shailesh Divan and Mrs Gita Divan. The Divan family is a pillar of the Indian community of WNY. Dr Divan's contributions have been long and sustained. He was a founding member of the Hindu Cultural Society and the India Association of Buffalo… Their absence will leave a lasting void in our community. The family requests privacy for the time being… We pray for the family, and may the souls of the deceased rest in peace.' Dr Kishore and Asha Divan, who lived in Buffalo, are survived by two sons, five grandchildren, and one great-grandson — all settled in the United States. Family members said all four will be cremated in the country.

Priyank Kharge slams BJP MLC
Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge launched a scathing attack on BJP MLC N. Ravikumar for his alleged derogatory remarks against Karnataka Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh, saying such comments reflected the misogynistic ideology espoused in the Manusmriti. 'Ravikumar is not BJP man originally. He is a product of the RSS shakha. The RSS has never believed in the Indian Constitution — it believes in the Manusmriti, a text that has historically denigrated women,' Mr. Priyank told reporters at a press conference held at the Deputy Commissioner's office in Kalaburagi on July 4. Referring to past incidents, Mr. Priyank recalled that Mr. Ravikumar had earlier made objectionable comments about the Kalaburagi Deputy Commissioner. 'The court asked him to apologise in that case, but he hasn't done it so far. That only shows he stands by his remarks. Now he made derogatory remarks against Chief Secretary' in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue in Vidhana Soudha premises. His is dirty mind, dirty brain and dirty tongue. It is the result of training he got in RSS. This is what happens when people who should be receiving psychiatric care are sent to the Legislative Council,' he said. When asked about Mr. Ravikumar's statement that he would hang himself if proven guilty of making derogatory remarks against the Chief Secretary, Mr. Priyank responded bluntly: 'Give him a rope.' Mr. Priyank also took aim at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), challenging it to list just ten contributions it has made toward nation-building, economic equity, or social unity. 'The RSS is constructing its office with ₹300–400 crore. Where is that money coming from? If we get a majority in Parliament, we will deploy the Income Tax Department and Enforcement Directorate to investigate. If we get that power from the people, we will act against any organization which is against our Constitution, tries to break the unity of our nation, instigates conflicts between castes and sow the poisonous seed of communalism to instigate communal clashes. It is in the interest of the country,' he said. Responding to recent remarks by RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale calling for the removal of the words 'secularism' and 'socialism' from the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, Mr. Priyank pointed to four landmark Supreme Court judgments, including the S.R. Bommai case, that uphold these principles. 'Let alone Indian Constitution, which the BJP people have hardly read, even BJP constitution has 'secular' and 'socialist' words in its Article 2. Let the RSS leaders tell their BJP followers to remove them from their party constitution,' he said. On a broader historical note, the Minister accused the RSS of never participating in India's freedom movement. 'Did they raise slogans like 'Simon Go Back'? Did they participate in the Quit India Movement or the Dandi March? Which Round Table Conference had they participated in? While the Constituent Assembly was framing the Constitution, RSS activists staged 150 protests in Delhi's Ramlila Maidan demanding the Manusmriti be adopted instead. They even opposed Subhash Chandra Bose's call to join the Indian National Army and instead encouraged youth to join the British Army. And let's not forget Savarkar's multiple clemency pleas to the British and the pension he received from British government,' Mr. Priyank said.
