Union Minister Jitendra Singh arrives at site of Congress protest outside PM Modi's residence, meets Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi [India], July 21 : Union Science and Technology Minister Jitendera Singh on Tuesday evening arrived at the site of the protest outside the residence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where Rahul Gandhi and several other Congress leaders held a protest. Singh, who is also the Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, was seen briefly conversing with Rahul Gandhi. Earlier, Delhi Police detained some Congress leaders who were holding a protest outside PM Modi's residence. Congress leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, KC Venugopal, Pawan Khera Pariniti Shinde and Manickam Tagore, held a protest at Lok Kalyan Marg, demanding the resignations of the Prime Minister and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan had also joined the protest. Earlier, they held a foot march from Rajaji Marg towards PM Modi's residence, alleging rutalities against students yesterday. Eighty-four-year-old Mallikarjurn Kharge, who marks his birthday today, was seen during the protest standing with his hands raised and tied with some sort of tags that Rahul Gandhi was distributing to the MPs and protestors. Kharge was later taken away in a car. Congress MP K Suresh, who was detained, said from inside the bus. Our students very cruelly attacked. The Honourable PM is not saying anything, Home Minister Amit Shah is not saying anything that is why Congress MPs, both from the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, are protesting. The protest was against police action during the Cockroach Janata Party's (CJP) march to Parliament a day earlier. Chairperson of Punjab Congress Campaign Committee, Charanjit Singh Channi, slammed the BJP. This is BJP's terrorism. They don't listen to the students... he said amid shouts and sloganeering of Shame shame and BJP murdabad. Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and KC Venugopal met student protestors who were injured in a police crackdown in the national capital, with Congress saying PM Modi should apologise for what it called rutality against the country's youth.Union Health Minister JP Nadda also visited RML hospital and met the injured protesters.The Congress stated that the protesting students' demand remains straightforward: the Centre to take accountability for the alleged NEET paper leak and the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Union Health Minister JP Nadda visited RML Hospital and met the injured protesters. Nadda on Monday met a delegation of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which made three demands to the government. He appealed to the protesters to end their sit-in.Nadda, who is Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha, said in a post on X yesterday that for the first time, a proposal came from the protesters to hold talks with the government. He said discussions began around 11:50 am and the meeting took place in a cordial atmosphere. There was detailed verbal discussion first and a written petition was given to me at about 4 pm. I requested all the protesters to end their protest and assist the administration in restoring normalcy, he added. Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) chief spokesperson Saurav Das later said they placed three demands before Nadda, including resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and compensation of Rs 1 crore to the families of the NEET aspirants, more than 20 of whom have lost their lives.

'Sit Quietly And Clap: Samson On Early Struggles At T20 WC

Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has revealed how he came to terms with missing out on the spot in India's XI at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 after a disappointing series against New Zealand, saying he knew his hopes were over once Ishan Kishan's explosive performances pushed him ahead in the selection race. Reflecting on the turning point in his international career, Samson admitted he could see the selectors' thinking change as Kishan grabbed his opportunity. After that, Ishan came in, and his story was completely different. He wasn't even in the team. He won Jharkhand the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy almost single-handedly, then came into the Indian team and was batting on a different level altogether. I could clearly see that Ishan was moving above me in the pecking order, Samson told JioStar. Kishan capitalised on his opportunity with a string of impactful innings, while Samson endured a lean run in the five-match series, leaving the Kerala batter convinced that the race for a World Cup berth had effectively ended. You get five matches and score 24, 6, 6, 10 and 0, then another guy comes in, scores 70-odd straightaway, gets a hundred later in the series, and the next match is directly in the T20 World Cup. Anyone would prefer an in-form batter. It was clear that the World Cup was done for me. Whatever had to happen had happened, and the only thing I could do was sit quietly and clap, he added. The 31-year-old said the disappointment was particularly painful because it came just when he believed he had finally established himself in India's T20I setup after a remarkable run of form. That's the spice of being an Indian cricketer, actually. Everything can change in a single day. The same thing happened with me as well. When I was given those seven matches, I don't think even I would have imagined that I would score three hundreds in those seven games, he expressed. Samson said that success had convinced many that his place in the side was secure, but he never allowed himself to think that way. The wicketkeeper-batter also admitted that the setback taught him an important lesson about balancing preparation with mental well-being. That's the spice of being an Indian cricketer, actually. Everything can change in a single day. The same thing happened with me as well. When I was given those seven matches, I don't think even I would have imagined that I would score three hundreds in those seven games, he expressed. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Samson revealed that it was during this difficult phase that he realised relentless practice alone was not the answer, as he said, I realised I was overdoing it, and my wife was right, being happy and mentally in a good space is much more important than putting in hours and hours of practice. The New Zealand series taught me that. Article Source: IANS

Sanju Samson Reveals How Rohit Sharma's Faith Helped Him Script T20 World Cup Redemption

India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson has revealed that he initially struggled to believe Rohit Sharma's reassurance that he would still have a role to play in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 after missing out on the playing XI during the latter stage of the campaign before rediscovering his confidence and producing one of the defining innings of India's campaign against the West Indies. Looking back on the difficult period following the New Zealand T20I series, Samson admitted he was mentally drained and could not see the path that Rohit envisioned for him. To be honest, I didn't believe him at that time. Sorry. He might have spoken from his heart or from his experience, but that day I wasn't able to see what he was seeing. You could see it on my face; I was a bit off that day, Samson told JioStar. Samson explained that the disappointment of missing out lingered into the early stages of the World Cup, making it difficult for him to move on immediately. Our World Cup campaign started two days after the New Zealand series, and it takes me at least a week to recover. I don't like to bottle things up, so it shows on my face if I'm not feeling 100 per cent. I went through that phase for four or five days before getting myself back on track, he added. The Kerala batter said the setback eventually became an opportunity for self-reflection, prompting him to reassess both his mindset and the reasons that drove him to play the game. You know you've failed, so what's next? You're at the bottom, so from there, you can only go up. I started working on myself mentally. I started asking myself questions, why do I play cricket? What's my purpose? It was like I was rediscovering myself while the World Cup was going on. And then everything just came back, Samson said. That renewed perspective laid the foundation for Samson's match-winning innings in the virtual quarter-final against the West Indies, a knock he described as one of those rare days when everything clicked, as he said, I prepared much better for that game after the Zimbabwe one. There are days I've played in the IPL and for India, and I've scored those centuries, when everything just feels right. It was one of those days. You just enjoy, stay in the moment, stay in the process, and things start happening automatically. Although his natural instinct is to accelerate after the Powerplay, Samson said the match situation demanded a different approach as wickets kept falling at the other end. I also knew it was a very big game for India. After the powerplay, I usually go into fifth gear. I'm an opener, if I get through the Powerplay, and we bat till No. 8, my game plan is to take on the bowling. But in that game, every time I felt it was time to attack, a wicket would fall at the other end. That's when I realised the game is the biggest teacher. The game tells you what to do, he stated. Samson also opened up on the emotional celebration that followed the innings, saying it was an expression of gratitude rather than personal triumph, saying, It's a very private celebration, but it became very public. I'm a very strong believer. I believe in my God, and I know it wasn't me. I also knew it was a very big game for India. After the powerplay, I usually go into fifth gear.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score I've played enough innings to know which shots I hit, and then there are some where I wonder, 'How did I hit that one?' I'm just very grateful that it happened through me, that I was able to help the team. That moment will stay with me till my last breath. It was very special, he mentioned. Article Source: IANS

JKAJA urges CM to introduce social security measures for journalists, reconstitute accreditation committee

Jammu, Jul 20:The Jammu and Kashmir Accredited Journalists Association (JKAJA) has urged the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, to take immediate steps to establish a comprehensive social security framework for working and retired journalists by implementing a Journalists Welfare Fund Scheme. The Association also urged the Chief Minister to introduce a monthly pension scheme, constitute a Jammu and Kashmir Media Commission and also constitute a fresh accreditation committee. In a statement issued here on Monday, July 20, Ashwani Kumar, president of the Jammu and Kashmir Accredited Journalists Association (affiliated to Press Association, New Delhi), said, While journalists have dedicated their lives to strengthening democracy and serving society through fearless reporting and public service, a large number of media professionals, particularly retirees, continue to face severe financial hardship, health challenges and institutional neglect. He said journalism was not merely a profession but one of the fundamental pillars of a constitutional democracy. A free and independent press was indispensable to an informed citizenry, and safeguarding the welfare of journalists was essential for preserving press freedom and democratic values, he asserted. Ashwani Kumar said that the condition of retired journalists in Jammu and Kashmir was deeply concerning. Once they leave active employment, many are left without any structured pension, health insurance or institutional support. Unlike several other professions that provide retirement security, senior journalists often struggle with declining incomes, rising medical expenses, family responsibilities and age-related health problems, he pointed out. JKAJA president further expressed concern that, in recent years, journalists increasingly faced legal intimidation, harassment and professional insecurity while performing their constitutional duty of reporting in the public interest. Such circumstances, he said, made it imperative for the government to create an institutional mechanism to protect the dignity, welfare and security of media professionals. The Association has appealed to the Chief Minister to introduce a State Journalists' Pension Scheme with a minimum monthly pension of Rs 20,000 for retired accredited and working journalists to ensure financial security and a life of dignity. It has also sought inclusion of journalists in a subsidised government healthcare scheme on the lines of the MEDISEP model implemented in Kerala, enabling retired journalists and their spouses to access affordable medical treatment. The Association has further demanded the establishment of a Jammu and Kashmir Journalists Welfare Fund to provide financial assistance during medical emergencies, housing distress and other unforeseen hardships. This scheme was prepared during Mehbooba Mufti government and Rs 2 Cr were sanctioned by the then government but later on the government fell. To create a sustainable corpus for the fund, it has suggested earmarking 10 per cent of the government advertisement budget released through the Information Department until media organisations establish comprehensive social security mechanisms for their employees. Ashwani Kumar also urged the government to constitute a Jammu and Kashmir Media Commission, headed by a retired Judge of the Supreme Court of India, on the pattern of judicial wage boards. The proposed Commission should include representatives of journalists, retired media professionals, media managements and the government to undertake a comprehensive study of the structural challenges confronting the media sector and recommend long-term policy reforms, including social security measures for journalists. He said that despite the vital contribution made by journalists to democratic governance and public accountability, there had been little institutional effort to study or address the hardships faced by retired media professionals. The continued neglect of journalists after retirement reflects poorly on our collective commitment to democratic values and freedom of the press. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir must act decisively to ensure that those who devoted their lives to public service are able to live with dignity, security and respect, Ashwani Kumar added.
