'Horrific hate crime': Rahul Gandhi on Tripura student murder; slams BJP for 'normalising' hate
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday described the alleged racial attack and brutal killing of an MBA student in Uttarakhand's Dehradun as a horrific hate crime and blamed the BJP for ormalising hate. Angel Chakma, a 24-year-old MBA student from Nandannagar in the West Tripura district was attacked by a group of six people when he objected to an alleged racial slur on December 9 in Dehradun. What happened to Anjel Chakma and his brother Michael in Dehradun is a horrific hate crime. Hate doesn't appear overnight. For years now, it is being fed daily -- especially to our youth -- through toxic content and irresponsible narratives. And it's being normalised by the hate-spewing leadership of the ruling BJP, Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X. What happened to Anjel Chakma and his brother Michael in Dehradun is a horrific hate crime. Hate doesnt appear overnight. For years now it is being fed daily - especially to our youth - through toxic content and irresponsible narratives. And its being normalised by the pic.twitter.com/eDN7XiIGZ2 Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) December 29, 2025 The Congress leader said India is built on respect and unity, not fear and abuse. We are a country of love and diversity. We must not become a dead society that looks away while fellow Indians are targeted. We must reflect and confront what we are allowing our country to become, he said. My thoughts are with the Chakma family and the people of Tripura and Northeast. We are proud to call you our fellow Indian brothers and sisters, Gandhi added. The incident took place on December 9, when a group of unidentified youths racially abused Anjel and his brother. Anjel reportedly said, We are not Chinese; we are Indians, which provoked the group. The youth attacked the brothers and Anjel was hospitalised for weeks after suffering severe injuries on his neck and abdomen. He succumbed to the injuries on December 26.

Is death of 33 BLOs okay? Sibal takes dig at govt
NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal took a swipe at the government on Monday over the death of booth-level officers in various parts of the country engaged in the SIR exercise, asking whether the presence of one alleged infiltrator was not okay, but the death of BLOs was okay. Sibal's remarks came a day after a Booth Level Officer (BLO) was found dead in West Bengal's Bankura district, triggering allegations that work-related pressure linked to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls may have played a role. Yet another suicide by a Bengal BLO. Total pan-India: 33. If one alleged 'ghuspetia (infiltrator)', that's not OK, if 33 BLOs die, is that Ok? Sibal said in a post on X. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said last month that the government would throw out infiltrators from the country and alleged that some political parties are opposing the SIR exercise as they want the names of infiltrators to remain on the electoral rolls. The latest death of a BLO occurred in the Ranibandh block of West Bengal, where the body of Haradhan Mandal was recovered from a school premises on Sunday morning. The police said they found a suicide note. Mandal was a schoolteacher and served as the BLO of Booth No. 206 under the Rajakata area of Ranibandh block, a police officer said. According to the officer, a note bearing the deceased's signature was recovered from the spot, in which he reportedly referred to being unable to cope with work pressure as a BLO. The BLOs play a major role in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The EC conducted SIR in Bihar in the first phase, and the exercise is underway in 12 states and Union territories in the second phase.
Thackeray brothers need Marathi vote consolidation, sizable Muslim and Dalit votes to win BMC polls
MUMBAI: If Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray eye to win the Asias largest civic body (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) polls, the leaders have to repeat Shiv Sena (UBT)'s 2024 Lok Sabha performance. It will help them to win as many as 113 seats out of 227 in the BMC polls. However, Shiv Sena (UBT) had won the three seats out of six Lok Sabha seats while it lost one seat, by 34 votes in Mumbai. Congress's vote base -- Muslim and Dalit -- and Sharad Pawars supporters from the western Maharashtra region who stay in Mumbai, helped to secure several seats. MVA was successful in restrictingthe BJP and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shindes Shiv Sena to one seat each only in the financial capital. In the BMC polls scheduled on January 15 of next year, Congress has refused to be part of the Thackeray brother alliance, over differences in decent space and number of seats. Also, Raj Thackeray's stand against North India is considered problematic for Congresss North Indian voters. Thackerays have joined hands after 20 years, but many challenges loom on the road to the BMC However, the silver lining for Uddhav Thackeray is, Raj Thackeray-led MNS has a seven per cent vote share in Mumbai, which will help them both to fill the gap caused by Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Congress, but that is not enough at all, as there is still a gap of six per cent. Thackerays has to go an extra mile by addressing as many rallies as possible, galvanising the ground network and utilising funds. Only then ther is a possiblity, that they will be able to swing the verdict in their favour. Despite Thackeray's alliance, the BJP is unfazed and is comfortable on the ground as it has 27 per cent vote share in Mumbai, and even DCM Eknath Shinde will pull in at least five per cent vote share. Most likely, the BJP and Shiv Sena will march towards a historic win in this closely contested BMC election. Shinde led Shiv Sena has won the six state assembly seats in Mumbai, while BJP had won 15, and DCM Ajit Pawar led NCP has won one seat; therefore, arithmetically, BJP and Shiv Sena are unperturbed. The split in Maha Vikas Aghadi has boosted the confidence of the BJP and its Gujarati, Marwari and North Indian vote bank in Mumbai remains unaffected. However, the opposition are getting divided into multiple forces. Meanwhile, if Muslim and Dalit votes get divided among the Thackerays, Congress, NCP SP, Samajwadi Party, MIM, then it will be difficult to repeat the Lok Sabhas template again in BMC polls. Congress, VBA seal alliance for BMC polls Uddhav Thackeray banks on his work during Covid-19, urges people to vote for Sena (UBT) in BMC election

Five out of six accused persons have already been arrested, while the mastermind is absconding, the police said. Debbarma's announcement came days after the Uttarakhand Police declared a Rs 25,000 cash reward on information that will facilitate the arrest of the main accused in the murder case. I heard that the Uttarakhand government has declared Rs 25,000 on information leading to the arrest of the mastermind in the Anjel Chakma murder case.

I declare Rs 10 lakh to one who provides clues leading to the arrest of the person who had murdered Anjel Chakma. The amount will be paid from my own pocket. Dont make fun of us, Debbarma said in a video post.

Supreme Court stays November 20 verdict, to revisit definition of Aravalli hills and ranges
The Supreme Court on Monday stayed its November 20, 2025 judgment that had limited the definition of the Aravalli hills and ranges to landforms rising at least 100 metres above the local terrain. The apex court has decided to revisit the contentious issue and proposed the formation of a high-powered expert committee to examine questions relating to the hills elevation, ecological significance, and permissible mining in the region. The matter is being heard in a suo motu case titled IN RE: DEFINITION OF ARAVALLI HILLS AND RANGES AND ANCILLARY ISSUES by a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices J K Maheshwari and A G Masih. The court has issued notices to the Centre, state governments, and other stakeholders, and listed the matter for further hearing on January 21, 2026. The November 20 ruling had accepted a uniform definition of the Aravalli hills and ranges based on recommendations from a Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) committee. According to that definition, an Aravalli Hill is any landform in designated Aravalli districts with an elevation of 100 metres or more above local relief, while an Aravalli Range is a collection of two or more such hills within 500 metres of each other. The court had also banned the grant of fresh mining leases in these areas until the submission of expert reports. The Aravalli Hills and Ranges, stretching from Delhi through Haryana and Rajasthan to Gujarat, are among Indias oldest geological formations. Historically recognised across 37 districts, they serve as a natural barrier against northern desertification and play a critical role in biodiversity conservation and groundwater recharge. The development signals a potential relook at the earlier judgment, highlighting the ecological, developmental, and legal debates surrounding one of the countrys most important mountain systems.
