Monsoon Session likely to be stormy as Congress set to corner government
NEW DELHI: The upcoming Monsoon session is all set to begin on a stormy note as the main opposition party Congress has decided to question the Government on alleged security lapse in Pahalgam , ceasefire during Operation Sindoor, special intensive revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Bihar and crime against women. This decision was taken in the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) strategy meeting held on Tuesday evening. The meeting was presided over by CPP chairperson Sonia Gandhi with the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in attendance. After the meeting, Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha Pramod Tiwari said that another meeting of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc partners would be held before the Session to coordinate strategies and raise issues collectively in both Houses of Parliament. Tiwari said that about three months have passed since the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed but no one has been traced yet. An unprecedented attack had taken place in Pahalgam. We have been seeking a special session to have a discussion on this. We and the people of this country want to know where those terrorists are. Why has no action been taken yet? Who was responsible for the killing of 26 people? Why was no single security personnel present there? Why was the quick response team missing?...Why is Prime Minister Narendra Modi maintaining a mysterious silence on the US president Donald Trump on brokering a ceasefire during Operation Sindoor? He hasnt responded yet to his claim, said Tiwari. The month-long Monsoon session of Parliament is set to begin on July 21. He further stated that the Congress would also corner the Government on the issue of electoral manipulations in elections in states such as Maharashtra, Haryana, and now in Bihar. The Congress will also raise the issue of rising incidents of crimes against women and Scheduled Castes across the country, particularly in states such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Odisha. The Congress will raise the demand for the restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, which has remained pending despite repeated assurances from the Government, he said. On the question of the impeachment motion against Allahabad High Court justice Yashwant Verma, who is facing allegations of corruption charges after the discovery of burnt cash from his official residence in Delhi, the Congress leader didnt give any clear reply. He said that several other issues were also discussed in the meeting. Earlier in the day, the Congress president, Mallikarjun Kharge, met Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and said the opposition wants a productive session. The Opposition wants a productive Rajya Sabha session from July 21st. For that to happen a number of strategic, political, foreign policy and socio-economic issues that are of great public concern need to be debated and discussed. Today, I called on the Hon'ble Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and had a fruitful conversation, Kharge wrote on X. The Opposition wants a productive Rajya Sabha session from July 21st.

NEW DELHI: YouTuber Samay Raina appeared before the National Commission for Women (NCW) in Delhi on Tuesday, months after he was summoned in connection with allegedly offensive and sexist content aired during his show India's Got Latent , officials said. Raina was also among the five social media influencers who appeared before the Supreme Court in a case seeking action against them for allegedly ridiculing persons suffering from disabilities. Raina submitted his statement in response to the allegations to NCW officials. Officials said further steps will be considered after reviewing his response. The NCW had issued Raina a notice following public outrage over remarks by participants and hosts that were perceived to be derogatory towards women. His appearance before the panel follows repeated summonses issued since February. Raina and others did not attend the original hearing on February 17, citing travel and security-related constraints. The NCW later rescheduled the hearing, giving them time to return to India and appear in person. The controversy erupted after clips from India's Got Latent , a comedy-based YouTube talent show, went viral earlier this year, leading to a backlash for allegedly making light of rape and objectifying women. Following this, an FIR was lodged by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell and the NCW took suo motu cognisance of the issue. The YouTube series was taken down in February, and Raina issued a public apology, saying he regretted any unintended harm caused. In the weeks that followed, Raina announced a temporary break and later launched an international comedy tour, a reason he cited for his non-appearance before the commission.

The entire length of the 508 km corridor of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train is being developed with Japanese Shinkansen technology and will set new benchmarks for speed, safety, and reliability, he continued. When asked for an update, the official mentioned that civil works are advancing quickly across the alignment, with 310 km of the viaduct already constructed, 15 river bridges completed, and work ongoing on 4 more. Out of the 12 stations, work on 5 has been completed, and 3 more are nearing completion.

Two teenagers stripped, forced to indulge in unnatural sex over money dispute in Mumbai
MUMBAI: Maharashtra police have arrested one person and are searching for three others in connection with the alleged kidnapping, assault, and sexual exploitation of two teenage friends, one of whom is a minor. The horrifying incident, which occurred two weeks ago, stemmed from an alleged non-payment of money and accusations of theft. According to police, the victims were allegedly stripped and forced to indulge in unnatural sex by individuals involved in the 'angadia' (courier) business. The accused also reportedly filmed the heinous act and threatened to circulate it on social media if the victims failed to comply. The two friends were allegedly kidnapped, physically assaulted, and confined to a room before being subjected to the ordeal, the complaint states. Following a complaint filed by the victims, a case has been registered at the Lokmanya Tilak Marg Police Station. The accused face charges under various provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the recently enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, an official confirmed. One main accused has been apprehended, and police teams have been dispatched to various locations in search of the three other individuals involved in the crime. Further details emerging from the investigation reveal that the minor victim has a previous theft case registered against him with the Kurla Government Railway Police (GRP). He has since been placed in a children's home in Kurla. Police are currently verifying the allegations made in the complaint, an official said.
TMC reignites Bengali pride pitch over profiling of migrant workers in BJP-ruled states
KOLKATA: The detention and alleged harassment of Bengali-speaking migrant workers in several BJP-ruled states have sparked a major political row in West Bengal, with the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) accusing the Centre and state BJP governments of targeting Bengalis under the guise of national security. Reviving its potent Bengali identity plank that helped thwart the BJP's advance in the 2021 Assembly elections, the TMC is now turning what began as isolated complaints into an emotive political flashpoint ahead of the 2026 polls. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is set to lead a massive protest march in Kolkata on July 16, as the party accuses BJP-ruled statesincluding Odisha, Assam, Delhi, Maharashtra and Gujaratof institutional profiling, linguistic discrimination and criminalisation of poverty. The trigger was the deportation of at least seven Bengali-speaking individuals in June from Maharashtra and other states, allegedly without proper verification or notification to the Bengal government. They were later repatriated after diplomatic and legal intervention confirmed their Indian citizenship. TMC slams BJP over targeting of Bengali workers in other states Last week, Odisha Police detained 444 workers from West Bengal on suspicion of being illegal immigrants; 50 were released after furnishing documents. In Delhis Jai Hind Colony, a Bengali-majority neighbourhood, electricity and water supply were snapped following a court order citing power theftfurther fueling outrage. There are over 1.5 crore migrant workers in Bengal who live with dignity. But Bengalis are being treated like infiltrators in BJP-ruled states, said TMC MP Samirul Islam. Speaking Bengali does not make someone Bangladeshi. This is nothing short of humiliation. TMC leaders have claimed that over 22.5 lakh Bengali-speaking workers are employed across India in sectors like construction, brick kilns, factories, and informal jobs. By targeting these individuals, the BJP is showing a deep-seated hatred for Bengalis, the party alleges. Our people are being criminalised simply because they are poor and speak Bengali, said TMC leader Firhad Hakim. Minister Manas Bhunia added, This reflects the BJPs anti-Bengali mindset. The people of Bengal will answer this insult at the ballot box. Sociologist Supriya Basu termed the events a cultural imposition attempt, saying, Targeting migrants over language is part of an effort to push a North Indian Hindutva model into Bengal. The BJP, however, has defended the crackdown, citing national security and illegal immigration. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya claimed that over 300 of the 444 detained in Odisha had fake or unverifiable documents. Newly appointed Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya went further, alleging a TMC-orchestrated infiltration plan. These people work in other states and return to Bengal to vote for Mamata Banerjee. This is a demographic and national security threat, Bhattacharya said. BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari accused the TMC of protecting infiltrators and playing the victimhood card. While the Congress and CPI(M) have condemned the arbitrary arrests, they have distanced themselves from the TMCs identity-based narrative. Migrant labour rights are non-negotiable. But TMCs emotive rhetoric is meant to deflect from its own failures, said CPI(M) leader Sujan Chakraborty. Political observers say the TMC has found a new rallying point after months of political pressure. In Bengal, pride often trumps policy, said analyst Suman Bhattacharya. The TMC was being cornered on several fronts, but it now has a potent counter-narrative. After its 2021 landslide, the TMC had shifted focus to national expansion, toning down its regionalist tone and inducting non-Bengali faces like Shatrughan Sinha and Kirti Azad. But with the Hindutva narrative gaining ground and Assembly elections less than a year away, the party appears to be returning to its core electoral messageBengali pride. Whether the issue will once again ignite a Bengali vs outsider wave or lead to a fragmented verdict will depend on how the parties sustain their competing narratives in the months ahead.

Maharashtra to enact anti-conversion law in December, will be stricter than other states: Minister
MUMBAI: The Maharashtra government will bring a tough law to prevent religious conversions in the winter session of the legislature and its provisions will be more stringent than similar legislations existing in other states, minister Pankaj Bhoyar has said. Speaking in the legislative council on Monday, the minister of state for home (rural) noted Maharashtra will be the 11th Indian state to come up with such a law. A panel has been formed under the Director General of Police to frame a law (against religious conversions) that will be stricter than the rest of the 10 states. A report (on the issue drafted by DGP) has been submitted and the law will be passed in the coming (winter) session, he told the House. The winter session of the state legislature is usually held in December in Nagpur, the second capital of Maharashtra. Raising the issue of forced conversion in the state, Shiv Sena leader and nominated MLC Manisha Kayande alleged a pregnant woman committed suicide in Sangli district of western Maharashtra as she was under pressure (from in-laws) to change her religion. There was a fight in a Pune-based family over the issue of religious conversion and cross FIRs were filed over the matter, she said. Kayande pointed out that 10 states -- Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand -- have their own anti-conversion law. The MLC asked whether Maharashtra's Mahayuti government will bring an anti-conversion law like these 10 states, to which the minister replied in the affirmative. Last week, Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule also said a strict law to prevent religious conversions will be enacted in the state. Replying to a debate on the issue in the state assembly, Bawankule had said he would speak to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on how to bring an anti-conversion law with stringent provisions.

NCP (SP) leader Jayant Patil dubs reports of switching sides as baseless
MUMBAI: Maharashtra NCP (SP) president Jayant Patil has dismissed speculation about quitting his post and possible move to the BJP, saying he had neither met any leader of the saffron outfit nor anyone from the ruling coalition party approached him. The former state minister termed as baseless media reports about his switch over. Reports in a section of media have also claimed Patil has resigned as the state NCP (SP) president and that his party colleague and MLC Shashikant Shinde will succeed him. The Nationalist Congress Party (SP), led by former Union minister Sharad Pawar, has convened its general body meeting on Tuesday. I have not contacted any leader in the BJP, nor has anyone asked me to join (BJP). I am the state president of a party and I am surprised by such reports, the NCP (SP) leader told reporters at the Vidhan Bhavan premises here on Monday. Downplaying speculation around his political moves, Patil said, Even if someone meets a leader from another party, it leads to all kinds of speculation. I have denied such reports multiple times, but they keep resurfacing. How many times do I have to deny them? These stories are reported repeatedly and never turn out to be true. There will be earthquake in NCP (SP), Jayant Patil to join NCP: Sena minister During a discussion in the legislative assembly, the eight-time MLA from Islampur in Sangli district said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stressed on widespread implementation of direct benefit transfer (DBT) scheme. This (DBT) is better than some of the state government's schemes where utensils are given to needy families. In such cases, many families receive substandard quality material, the opposition legislator said in the House. Asked by reporters about his praise of the DBT scheme, a flagship initiative of the Modi government, the NCP (SP) leader asserted liking or disliking certain schemes of a government did not mean one was switching sides. It is a different matter if I like some of their schemes and do not like others. But the BJP has never communicated with me about any such offer (of switch over). If I meet Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis (a BJP leader) for official work, that does not mean I am joining the party, he asserted. Asked if he would take action against media outlets publishing such reports, Patil remarked, The same media houses also publish positive news about me. I do not want to create unnecessary bitterness with them. If the state president of a party with 10 MLAs is getting so much publicity, I should probably be thankful to them. Speaking at the NCP's 26th foundation day event in Pune on June 10, Patil hinted at stepping down from his post in the presence of party chief Sharad Pawar to make way for a younger face. Patil, a staunch loyalist of Sharad Pawar, has been with him since the formation of the NCP in 1999. He sided with the Pawar senior after deputy CM Ajit Pawar rebelled in 2023 and joined the BJP-Shiv Sena ruling coalition.
