TMC MP said. Earlier in the day, CPI General Secretary D Raja alleged that he received no information regarding the INDIA bloc meeting at the Constitutional Club, New Delhi, today. He said that Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had not informed him about the meeting. Speaking to ANI, D Raja said, 'I have no information about any meeting of the INDIA bloc. I have got no information from either Mr Kharge or Mr Rahul Gandhi.

A group of INDIA bloc leaders met at the Constitution Club today after more than 200 MPs from the Lok Sabha signed a letter to PM Modi calling for a Special Session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor. On May 7, India launched Operation Sindoor as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists in which 26 people were killed. Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.

Shub din for Punjab as its ‘puttar' takes lead
At 25, Shubman Gill has scripted history by becoming the first India Test captain from Punjab since Bishan Singh Bedi (1976-78). Gill, who is used to seeing fans go gaga over him in the stadium, has now become the cynosure of all eyes in the state's political circles. From Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring to SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, leaders cutting across party lines hailed him as the next big leader in the sport. 'Heartiest congratulations to all Punjabis on our 'Punjab Da Puttar' @Shubmangill becoming India's new Test cricket captain!'' Badal wrote on X. AAP in dock over arrest of its MLA in graft case Things looked up for AAP MLA from Jalandhar (Central) Raman Arora when he first stepped into politics. But in a dramatic fall from grace, he was recently arrested by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau in a corruption case. Far from being embarrassed by the legislator's arrest, AAP is seizing the development to score brownie points with voters, suggesting that the party is so upright that it doesn't even spare its own leaders found to be tainted. However, the party's Amritsar (North) MLA, former IPS officer Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, does not seem to buy it. Singh, who never shies away from pointing fingers at his own party, expressed concerns about Arora's proximity to CM Bhagwant Mann's family. Cong legislature party leader not named yet The Congress high command is in no hurry to name Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader in Haryana. But Haryana Congress chief Udhay Bhan is still loyal to former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda. As the meeting of the Haryana assembly selection committee was delayed due to non-availability of CLP leader for the selection of the state information commissioner, the BJP-led state government asked Bhan to nominate the seniormost leader to represent the party in the meeting. Bhan nominated Hooda for the meeting. The 3-member committee comprised of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Hooda instead of leader of opposition and minister-in-charge.

One century and then...this India cricketer career is sinking like Prithvi Shaw...name is...
Only 3 more days are left for the IPL 2025 playoff matches to begin. The champion of this season will be decided on June 3. This season, some players became heroes from zero, while some have their IPL as well as international career at stake. We are going to talk about one such player whose career seems to be sinking like Prithvi Shaw. Once this all-rounder came into the limelight by scoring a century in his third match of T20 International, but now a comeback seems very difficult. We are talking about Indian all-rounder Deepak Hooda, who made his T20 and ODI debut in Team India in the year 2022. He scored 21 runs in his debut match against Sri Lanka. After this, he played an unbeaten innings of 47 runs in the second match against Ireland. In the third match, Hooda once again came into action and scored a century in just 57 balls. However, after this performance, his graph was seen falling. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) After the century, Deepak got many opportunities in T20 cricket, but he did not live up to the expectations. Deepak Hooda played 21 T20 matches for India in which apart from a century, he did not even manage to score a fifty. He scored 368 runs in these matches. He also has 6 wickets in his name in 21 matches. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Apart from this, Hooda has also played 10 ODIs in which 3 wickets and just 153 runs are recorded. In ODIs too, Hooda could not manage to hit a four on the occasion. These figures of his clearly indicate that he has failed to perform consistently at the international level. In the IPL 2025 auction, CSK included Hooda in their team for Rs 75 lakh. This was considered a golden opportunity to bring his career back on track. Fans hoped that Deepak would show something different this time. But this season Hooda did not manage to make a name for himself. He got a chance to bat in 5 matches but his highest score was 22. Apart from this, he lost his wicket on single digits. In such a situation, Hooda's IPL career is also in danger. Hooda has also followed the path of Prithvi Shaw. Shaw made his debut in the Indian team at a very young age and garnered a lot of praise. But now there seems to be no comeback for Prithvi in Team India. Hooda's situation is also becoming similar.

Tamil Nadu: Congress organises Tiranga Yatra to honour Indian Army
Tiruchirappalli (Tamil Nadu) [India], May 25 (ANI): Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) on Sunday organised a 'Tiranga Yatra' in Trichy to honour the valour and bravery of the armed forces for Operation Sindoor, where India hit nine terror camps deep into Pakistani territory. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in response to the ghastly April 22-Pahalgam terrorist attack that claimed 26 civilian lives, after which Pakistan resorted to shelling on civilian and military establishments here. Indian armed forces retaliated and destroyed 11 of the 13 air bases of Pakistan on the night of May 9 and 10. Meanwhile, Congress leader Deepender Singh Hooda on Sunday claimed that the Tiranga Yatra was originally his suggestion. 'I had proposed the idea for Tiranga Yatra. Even Chief Minister Nayab Saini had said it was not a good idea. But later, the ruling party held the yatra at their own level,' Hooda said in Chandigarh. 'We will always raise our voice for the public,' he added. Commenting further, Hooda said that 'one BJP MLA even questioned' Congress' connection with agriculture. 'BJP's pride is on the seventh heaven,' he added. The Congress leader also remarked that any attempts to silence the Opposition will not be tolerated. Earlier this week, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini also carried out the Tiranga Yatra to honour the armed forces for Operation Sindoor. 'Tiranga Yatra is being organised in Ladwa today. Tiranga Yatras are being organised across the Yatras are not just events but occasions to pay true homage to the sense of patriotism and yatra is not just of the tricolour, this is a Yatra of our pledge, bravery and self-respect. This yatra is for those brave jawans who, through Operation Sindoor, elevated India's honour, safety and prestige,' Saini said, addressing the people. The Tiranga Yatra drew widespread public attention, covering major roads and landmarks across Agartala. Residents lined the streets to cheer and wave flags, creating a vibrant and emotional atmosphere. The yatra is part of a broader nationwide campaign to honour the armed forces and reaffirm national resolve in the wake of the tragic terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. (ANI)
