CM calls for Change of guard at Centre
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy underscored the need for change in national leadership as Prime Minister Narendra Modi failed to teach a befitting lesson to Pakistan in the recent Operation Sindoor offensive. Likening Modi to 'demonetised Rs 1000-currency note' in the wake of the recent India-Pakistan ceasefire, Revanth Reddy emphasised that had it been Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Modi's position, he, inspired by his grandmother Indira Gandhi, would have broken Pakistan into pieces and taken possession of the Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), besides liberating Balochistan. Addressing the Jai Hind rally in the city on Thursday, which was attended by AICC state in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan, PCC president B Mahesh Kumar Goud, several ministers and ex-servicemen, the CM urged the participants to ensure that Rahul Gandhi became the Prime Minister of the nation as he would repeat the feat of 'Apara Kali' Indira Gandhi who broke Pakistan into pieces. Recalling India's victories against Pakistan under the leadership of former prime minister Indira Gandhi, the Chief Minister remarked that the war was not for the fainthearted. 'Those who lead the war should have valour, spine, planning, strategy and bravery,' he said to the cheers of the audience. While referring to various defence manufacturing units in Hyderabad, Reddy said that had the present BJP government engaged indigenously developed jet fighters, the situation would have been quite different during the aerial combat with Pakistan. 'Hyderabad houses one of the largest cantonments in the country, where fighter jets also get manufactured. Had the government procured indigenous jets, we would have saved our face. Instead, the Modi government decided to procure Rafael for the sake of contractors, but those fighter jets were shot down by Pakistan. How many Rafael jets were shot down by Pakistan? Why is there no discussion on the matter? Modi should answer these questions,' Revanth Reddy demanded. Critical of the Tiranga Yatra organised by the BJP, the Chief Minister asked as to what the BJP government was celebrating about when US President Donald claimed that he was instrumental in the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. 'We announced all our support to the Modi government at the critical juncture when an all-party meet was organised. But when Trump made his announcement, the Central government did not convene an all-party meeting. Why no opinion was sought from political parties following the ceasefire announcement,' he asked.

Musk quits US govt role
Washington: Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk announced his departure from his role as a top adviser to US President Donald Trump, ending his brief but high-profile tenure as a Special Government Employee tasked with reducing federal bureaucracy. Musk's exit comes amid growing Republican divisions over Trump's controversial spending bill and mounting criticism of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk led. A day before his announcement, Musk publicly criticised Trump's "big beautiful bill', which includes sweeping tax relief and government spending cuts. 'It can be big or beautiful, but not both,' he said in an interview with CBS. Meanwhile, a White House official, speaking anonymously, confirmed Musk's departure from the advisory role. 'I sympathise with Elon being discouraged,' said Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), adding there's likely enough Republican opposition to stall the bill unless fiscal concerns are taken seriously. Responding to critics, Trump said, 'I'm not happy about certain aspects of it, but I'm thrilled by other aspects of it… It's got a way to go,' defending the measure as a product of compromise.

US court blocks Trump tariffs
Washington: The Trump administration on Wednesday filed an appeal to a US federal court ruling that sought to block most of the US President's sweeping import tariffs from going into effect. "Notice is hereby given that defendants appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the Court's opinion and final judgment of May 28, 2025," the court filing said. A panel of federal judges blocked President Donald Trump from enforcing some of his harshest tariffs on China and other key trading partners, ruling that he did not have 'unbounded authority' to tax imports from nearly every country. The decision by the US Court of International Trade marks a notable early blow to Trump's tariff strategy, weakening one of his main tools for pushing other nations into more favourable trade agreements with the US. According to reports, Trump's use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to levy tariffs was unprecedented. The law typically applies to sanctions and embargoes, not tariffs, and doesn't even mention duties. Still, Trump relied on it to announce and later pause wide-ranging import duties in April. He also cited the law to justify tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, blaming those countries for fentanyl entering the US. In its ruling, the Court of International Trade concluded that Trump's tariffs 'exceed any authority granted' under IEEPA. The panel of three bipartisan judges, addressing lawsuits filed by both states and businesses, found many of the tariffs were issued "illegally". It remains uncertain exactly when the tariffs will stop being collected. The ruling gave the administration up to 10 days to begin phasing them out through formal procedures. In response, the Trump administration immediately filed an appeal with the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
