INDIA bloc writes to PM demanding special session of Parliament
New Delhi, June 3 (UNI) Leaders of the INDI Alliance met here on Tuesday to press for a special session of Parliament to discuss a 'sequence of events' — from the 'Pahalgam incident to Operation Sindoor and the ceasefire'. Leaders from 16 Opposition parties attended the meeting, including senior Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh, Deepender Singh Hooda, Trinamool Congress leader Derek O Brien, Ramgopal Yadav of the Samajwadi Party and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut. Later briefing the media, DereK O Brien said the 16 parties have written a letter to the Prime Minister seeking a special session of Parliament. 'The letter basically talks about Poonch, Uri, Rajouri and having a free discussion in the Parliament,' the TMC leader said. He further added, 'The government is responsible to Parliament, Parliament is responsible to the people so it natural for all these parties, since the government is answerable to Parliament, that is why the session to the Parliament is responsible to the people'. On Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) not being a party of the meeting, the TMC leader said, 'Our understanding is that the AAP is writing directly to the PM tomorrow'. Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said that there are several issues which are "worrisome". Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said, "On the diplomatic front, the Prime Minister has been visiting numerous countries and meeting many leaders over the past several years. However, his so-called friend, Mr Trump, announced the ceasefire, which is a matter of concern." He further added, "India, being the world's largest democracy, must not appear to be forced into taking such actions. This warrants a discussion in Parliament, and we are demanding a special session to address it." Deepender Singh Hooda said that a special session of Parliament must be called so that from Pahalgam to Operation Sindoor to America's announcement of the ceasefire could be discussed. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut stated, "The letter sent to the Prime Minister is not an ordinary one. We represent the main Opposition and are the voice of the people. Considering the recent development, a special session of Parliament should be convened. It will uphold the country's dignity and ensure transparency for the public." Raut further questioned, "If a ceasefire can be declared at the behest of President Trump, then why can't a special session of Parliament be called at the request of the Opposition? Do we need to approach President Trump for that as well?" UNI RBE GNK

" Aapka Hi Copy Kar Liya": Khan Sir To Tejashwi Yadav On His Low-Key Wedding
New Delhi: Popular educator Faizal Khan, widely known as Khan Sir, hosted a grand wedding reception in Patna on Monday. It also marked the first public appearance of his wife, AS Khan. Among the key attendees was Bihar's Leader of Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, whose brief conversation with Khan Sir became the event's standout moment. In a viral video from the reception, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader is seen asking Khan Sir, "Kya hua, byah kab hua?" (What happened, when did you get married?). Khan Sir responded, " Abhi jo India-Pakistan conflict chal raha tha, usi beech" (During the recent India-Pakistan conflict). तेजस्वी जी के फैन हैं ख़ान सर। #khansir — Alok Chikku (@AlokChikku) June 2, 2025 He added he followed Tejashwi Yadav's lead as far as keeping the wedding low-key. " Model aap hi ka tha sir... chupchaap se karke baad main batana hai. 12-13 log the sir. Jaise aap kiye na, vaise hi. Humne socha kahan se copy karenge, aapka hi copy kar liya sir," he said. (I followed your model, sir. Get married quietly and announce it later. Just 12-13 people were there, just like you did. I thought, whom should I copy? So, I copied you.) Tejashwi Yadav married his long-time friend Rachel Godinho in a private ceremony on December 9, 2021, at his sister Misa Bharti's farmhouse in Delhi's Sainik Farms. The event was attended by approximately 50 close friends and family members, including Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav and his wife Dimple Yadav. He, at the time, explained the low-key celebration was aimed to ensure both families had ample time to connect without the distractions of a large gathering. He also cited concerns about COVID-19 and to avoid the chaos experienced during his elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav's wedding. Earlier, Khan Sir shared the news of his marriage with his students during a live class, saying they were the first to know. "My wedding date had already been set, but as tensions flared between India and Pakistan, we decided to keep it simple," he told them. He also announced a special feast for his students. Monday's lavish reception was held at a luxury hotel in Patna and saw a distinguished turnout from both political and educational spheres. Dignitaries included Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, Education Minister Sunil Kumar, Union Minister of State Raj Bhushan Nishad, Nitish Mishra, former minister Mukesh Sahni, and renowned educators Alakh Pandey (Physics Wallah) and Neetu Ma'am. The evening also featured a performance by the famed Sabri Brothers. Khan Sir's parents and extended family were also in attendance, making their first public appearance.

SBSP to organise Vijay Diwas to mark king Suheldev's valour against invaders
Lucknow: SBSP president and UP minister Om Prakash Rajbhar on Monday announced that his party will organise Vijay Diwas in Bahraich on June 10 to commemorate the victory of Maharaja Suheldev over Syed Salar Masood, the general and nephew of Turkish invader Mahmud Ghaznavi, in the Battle of Bahraich in 1034 AD. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Rajbhar said that he had invited Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to the event in which a 'Shaurya Mela' would also be organised. The development comes days after the Bahraich district administration denied permission to hold 'Jeth Mela' at the shrine of Salar Masood on the grounds of law and order. "Maharaja Suheldev protected our culture and identity by ending the terror of invaders in India a thousand years ago. This fair will not only be a means of preserving our cultural heritage but will also be a good opportunity for the new generation to know and assimilate their glorious past," he said. The SBSP chief slammed the Samajwadi Party and the Congress, accusing them of trying to erase Maharaja Suheldev's contribution to history for vote bank politics. "Why did the Congress govt keep the heroic saga of Maharaja Suheldev away from history books for decades? Why did the Samajwadi Party organise a fair in the memory of invader Salar Masood Ghazi in Bahraich? Why did it forget the valour of Maharaja Suheldev on the same land," Rajbhar asked. "These questions are not political but are related to our identity, heritage, and the future of our children," he said, adding that his party always pitched Suheldev not just as a "caste hero" but as a "nationalist symbol". Rajbhar said that Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav should celebrate 'Vijay Diwas' on June 10. "If they do not do so, it will be considered that they only do vote bank politics and don't want to respect great men," he said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Maharaja Suheldev's bravery and nationalist dedication should be given due weightage with construction of memorials and parks. Prime Minister Narendra Modi restored the king's historical significance through initiatives such as the installation of Suheldev's statue and a park on 5 acres near Chittora Lake in Bahraich," Rajbhar said.

In Spain, Kanimozhi's 'diversity' reply to India's national language question
DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, who is leading an all-party delegation to Spain as part of India's outreach programme post Operation Sindoor, was on Monday questioned by the members of the Indian Diaspora regarding the National Language of India, to which she replied, "I think the national language of India is Unity in Diversity. This is the message that this delegation brings to the world." advertisementShe said that the Indian Diaspora can play a very important role in spreading the message of India in the country. "The Diaspora can play a very important role in telling people and explaining that what India looks for is peace. Our freedom struggle was based on peace, i.e. ahimsa. You can influence people and shape opinion," she said. "So much has to be done in our country and we want to do that. Unfortunately, we are being diverted. We have to deal with terrorism, war which is absolutely unnecessary," she said on the question of terrorism. She also said that India is a safe place and the government will ensure that Kashmir is safe."As Indians, we have to make the message clear that India is safe. They may try whatever they want, they cannot derail us. We will ensure that Kashmir remains a safe place," she said. advertisementThe all-party delegation includes Samajwadi Party MP Rajeev Kumar Rai, BJP's Brijesh Chowta, AAP's Ashok Mittal, Prem Chand Gupta of the RJD and former diplomat Manjeev Singh Puri. Spain is the final leg of the delegation's five-nation visit, following which it will return to India. Must Watch
