Trump heads to Iowa and Kansas with Senate control in balance
By Andrew Goudsward, David Morgan and Doina Chiacu WASHINGTON/ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Two days before Tuesday's midterm elections, President Donald Trump's Republicans got an unexpected boost in Michigan with an endorsement from a prominent Democrat, while suffering a setback in Alaska when a federal judge dismissed a legal challenge. US Representative Haley Stevens, who lost Michigan Democrats' Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed in a bitterly contested race, on Sunday publicly backed Republican candidate Mike Rogers, threatening toexacerbate divisions in a state viewed as crucial to Democratic hopes of retaking the US Senate. I don't belong in Abdul's campaign, Stevens said in a video posted to social media. Thirty-five Senate seats and all 435 House of Representatives seats are on the ballot on Tuesday. Republicans hold narrow majorities in both chambers. Polls show Democrats are favored to win a majority of the House and locked in a tight battle for control of the Senate with a handful of races likely to determine the outcome. The Trump administration's attempt to intervene in Alaska's Senate race faltered on Sunday when a federal judge dismissed the US Justice Department's lawsuit seeking to block certification of the results if Republican incumbent Senator Dan S. Sullivan narrowly loses. The Justice Department argued voters may be confused by the presence of a challenger named Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. on the same ballot. If Democrats take control of the House or Senate, theycould block Trump's legislative agenda for his final two years in office and launch investigations of an administration that has so far faced largely compliant Republican majorities. The White House has been preparing to implement portions of Trump's agenda without the aid of Congress. More than 52 million Americans have already voted in person or by mail, according to the University of Florida's Election Lab, a record for a midterm and up from nearly 46 million who voted before Election Day in 2022. MICHIGAN RIFT In Michigan, Stevens' endorsement of Rogers came on the same day she was supposed to appear withEl-Sayed in a show of party unity. But the planned event unraveledafter Stevens called on El-Sayed to condemn an outside group's ad that she said blames Israel for high grocery prices. We can't stand with hate, Stevens told reporters on Sunday, standing alongside Rogers after joining him at aDetroit church service. El-Sayed's campaign recently asked Stevens to skip his events through Election Day so as not to distract from the central issues of the campaign, a person familiar with the matter said. Republicans sought to take advantage of Stevens' move.This is courage in politics in America today, Rogers said. When you see a party, and at least a sliver of the party, veering off into the virulent hate that they have been spewing toward a group of people, it gets dangerous. El-Sayed, who has been subjected to a campaign of racist and Islamophobic attacks, on Sunday declined to directly address Stevens' endorsement, saying he was focused on other issues. I want to get money out of politics, El-Sayed told reporters. I want to put money back in pockets. It was unclear whether the move would affect the outcome of the race. Polls indicate that El-Sayed has largely consolidated Democratic support. He holds a nearly 4-point lead against Rogers according to the Real Clear Polling estimate. ALASKA RULING In Alaska, a federal judge rejected a Trump administration lawsuit against the state. The DOJ had asked a court to block certification and order an investigation if the outcome indicated that voters may have voted for challenger Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. when they intended to vote for the incumbent Dan S. Sullivan. The issue has roiled the campaign over the last several days after the New York Times reported Democrat Mary Peltola's campaign was involved in recruiting Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. into the race as a spoiler. The senatoron Sunday said he would accept the results of Tuesday's election even as the Trump administration presses a criminal investigation into the issue.But Alaska Governor MikeDunleavy, a Republican, has suggested he may not certify a victory byPeltola, and the incumbent Sullivan declined to say whether he would support efforts to refuse certification. He joined his party colleagues in accusing the other Sullivan of trying to confuse voters with his similar name. They got the decoy guy on the ballot, the senator told CNN's State of the Union program. I'm sure I'm going to lose a lot of votes to that trickery. So what I say to Alaskans is, 'Don't let them get away with the tricks.' Peltola has denied involvement, and Sullivan Jr. has denied coordinating with Peltola's campaign. TRUMP CAMPAIGNS IN RED STATES Trump is set to return to the campaign trail on Sunday with rallies in Iowa and Kansas, Republican-leaning Farm Belt states where his party is fighting to hold US Senate seats. Trumpwon Iowa by double digits in 2024. But polls show Democrats tied with or leading Republicans in many of the state's races. And Trump's approval among rural Americans fell to a new low of 45% in October, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling. Kansas, which last elected a Democratic senator in 1932, is also facing an unexpectedly close race.

Judge dismisses DOJ lawsuit seeking to block Alaska Senate certification if GOP loses
A federal judge on Sunday dismissed the Justice Departments lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaskas U.S. Senate race if Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses, two days before Election Day. U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason wrote that the relief the government sought was infeasible because many ballots have already been cast and mixed together, the AP reported . She also wrote that the government provides no workable plan for separating ballots ranking Dan J. Sullivan and investigating them in a manner that would preserve voter secrecy. Gleason found the federal government did not have the ability to bring the case, NPR reported . Justice Department attorneys are expected to appeal, according to NPR. The ruling does not end the criminal investigation into how the second Sullivan got on the ballot. It was, for a while, considered one of those colorful quirks that crop up in the course of an election: the fact that not one but two candidates named Dan Sullivan will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot for U.S. senator from Alaska. One Dan Sullivan Dan S. Sullivan is the state's incumbent Republican senator. He is trying to fend off a fierce challenge from former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola and secure a third term. The other Dan Sullivan Dan J. Sullivan is a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle. He has never previously campaigned for public office, and he switched his registration from unaffiliated to Republican just before the deadline to run. (He has since switched back to unaffiliated .) But now the situation seems to be getting more serious. At President Trump's direction, the Justice Department sued last month in federal court to block certification of the election if Sen. Dan S. Sullivan loses, alleging that retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan is a Democratic plant whose purpose is to siphon away votes. Then, on Oct. 28, the New York Times published an extensive investigation that appears to substantiate that allegation , calling it Democrats' secret effort to stack Alaska's ballot. The Times has found, based on interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Peltola's team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run for Senate, but the effort was much broader, the paper wrote. The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race, to dilute the incumbent's support and help catapult the Democrat to victory. Matthew Salisbury, a former congressional candidate and Alaska insurance manager, told the Times that he was approached by a man claiming to represent wealthy donors who wanted him to run for Senate as an independent candidate. Salisbury said he met with the man over beers at an Irish pub in Anchorage, but ultimately declined after being unable to verify his identity. I'm not nave, he said. In response to the report, Trump called for both Peltola and the fake Dan Sullivan to be removed from the ballot in a post on Truth Social . Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, a Republican, said he was ordering an investigation to determine whether the alleged effort violated state law. Alaskans have a fundamental right to vote for the candidate they actually intend to support, Dunleavy said in a statement . Deliberately tricking voters into casting their ballots for someone else strikes at the integrity of our elections. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican who has represented Alaska in the Senate since 2002, wrote in a statement that the people of her state deserve a full explanation. Run and win on your merits: your views, your policy ideas, and your accomplishments, she wrote. By contrast, recruiting candidates to manipulate the field and influence voting outcomes is simply wrong. Sam Curtis, a spokesperson for the Alaska Department of Law, told CNN that the revelations in the Times report did not change the state's opposition to a Trump administration lawsuit seeking to potentially delay certification of the election. Placing candidates on the ballot is a matter of state law, not federal law, Curtis said, adding that the report has no impact on the current litigation. Rep. James Comer, the Republican head of the House Oversight Committee, said Oct. 29 that the committee is taking action to launch an investigation into the matter, including an inquiry into whether any crimes may have been committed. ABC News also reported Oct. 29 that the DOJ had issued a wave of new subpoenas as it probes whether the alleged recruitment scheme may have run afoul of federal conspiracy laws. On Friday, Michael Heyman, the U.S. attorney for Alaska, confirmed there is a criminal investigation, saying it had been underway for months. He said the Times report led to a significant surge of law enforcement assets to the state, but declined to say what crimes are being examined and said he was not making any assumptions on whether a crime has been committed, according to CBS News . Before the ruling, the Justice Department had also asked Gleason to order state officials to preserve and segregate all ballots ranking Daniel J. Sullivan so it could investigate possible voter confusion, and it requested action before Monday . State attorneys had asked the judge to dismiss the case, arguing that the ballot already distinguishes the two men. It lists the senator as Dan S. Sullivan, a Republican and the incumbent, and the challenger as Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., with no party, the AP reported . In a filing Saturday, Alaska's Republican-run government urged Gleason to dismiss the case, calling it a meritless lawsuit and the ballot request both disturbing and impossible because it couldn't be carried out without violating voter privacy, the AP reported . Not every wrong can be righted in federal court, the state wrote. The Trump administration says it is trying to combat fraud. On Friday, a federal appeals court rejected a similar DOJ request in California to set aside disputed ballots. An FBI agent also visited the Petersburg business of a Sullivan donor to ask whether he had been misled, the AP reported . The donor said he hadn't. Everybody knows who the incumbent is, he said. At a rally in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Friday, Trump said Peltola should be removed from the ballot and prosecuted, adding that Attorney General Todd Blanche would make his own decision, MS NOW reported . No one has been charged. Peltola said at a rally in Anchorage that she was so deeply offended by these accusations about having any involvement with anyone else's candidacy. Asked whether someone on her campaign could have been involved, she told KTUU, I honestly have no idea. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has denied involvement, and Dan J. Sullivan has long denied running at Democrats' behest. On CNNs State of the Union on Sunday, Sen. Sullivan said he doubted Peltolas denials. There is no way this went on for a year that they werent informing her, he said. Asked about certification, he said, Im going to accept the results of the election. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who leads the GOPs Senate campaign arm, said on NBCs Meet the Press that criminal charges might make sense. Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent of Vermont, said on CBS Face the Nation that what Democrats did seems to me to be pretty dumb, adding, Its not illegal. Dunleavy, the Republican governor, suggested his state investigation could still affect the outcome. If we find out theres wrongdoing, and if that means that the certification then is stopped or changed, then thats what happens, he told NewsNation on Friday. The outcome of the fight could still have enormous national implications. Democrats need to win at least a few Senate races in historically Republican states to secure a majority in the chamber. Polls suggest Alaska is one of their best chances to turn a red seat blue. Given how close other races across the country appear to be, a move to block or erase a narrow Peltola victory could be the pivot point that allows the GOP to keep control of the Senate for the last two years of Trump's presidency. How did this happen, and where do things go from here? Here's everything you need to know to catch up and make sense of the story. How Alaska wound up with two Dan Sullivans on the ballot Ballot-stacking the process of recruiting a spoiler candidate to help your candidate win isn't unheard of in politics, and the Times says it's generally considered legal. But it's a lot easier in Alaska than other states because of the unique way elections work there. When Peltola ran for reelection to the U.S. House in 2024, the state GOP backed an effort to help a second Democrat an inmate who conducted his campaign from a New York prison remain on the ballot. And during this year's primaries, super PACs aligned with both parties flooded the state with ads for fringe candidates in an attempt to dilute support for the mainstream candidates opposed by the groups, according to an October Alaska Beacon report . How is any of this possible? The Last Frontier sends the top four primary candidates to the general election regardless of party then asks voters to rank them on Election Day in order of preference. This means that candidates can claim any party affiliation on the ballot without being vetted by parties themselves. (Dan J. Sullivan initially claimed to be a Republican .) It also means that as long as they finish in the top four, primary candidates don't have to earn many votes to secure their very own ballot line on Nov. 3. (Dan J. Sullivan won 4,107 ). For months, Republicans have questioned Dan J. Sullivan's intentions and tried to get him tossed off the ballot. In June, the Alaska Supreme Court dismissed their arguments, ruling that neither state law nor the U.S. Constitution provided any legal basis for removing Dan J. Sullivan's name. How the Senate candidates will appear on Alaska's midterm ballot. elections.alaska.gov The more obscure Sullivan has maintained that he [is] running in good faith and of his own volition, as a moderate Republican and not a secret Democrat, as a Times profile put it in August. He said he'd voted in the past for some Alaska Republicans, including Sen. Lisa Murkowski, even though he also acknowledged previous donations to Ms. Peltola and a handful of other Democrats, and said he would prefer Peltola for Senate over the Republican incumbent if it was between those two. But according to the Times report, operatives aligned with the Peltola campaign convinced Dan J. Sullivan to enter the race to help Mary. The report cited as its sources 12 people who participated in or were told of the plan as well as interviews with other would-be recruits and dozens of internal text messages. For the record, both Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which directs the party's campaign strategy in Senate races across the country, have denied any involvement, and Dan J. Sullivan did not respond to the Times's repeated requests for comment. One of the Times's main sources former Peltola campaign manager and longtime aide Elisa Rios, who had been planning to file a wrongful termination lawsuit also tried to retract her statements to the paper ahead of publication. The Times story described an elaborate endeavor which was internally called the ballot composition project that involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs. The Times also reported that the Peltola campaign's lawyers, as well as senior aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee were involved with the effort. The Trump administration's lawsuit Legal battles over the dual Dan Sullivan issue had been confined to state courts until last month. That's when Trump's administration filed its lawsuit aiming to have the certification of the results blocked if Peltola wins a close election that may have been affected by Dan J. Sullivan's presence on the ballot. Should Alaska certify any electoral results tainted by the inclusion on the ballot of Daniel J. Sullivan the State and its officers will fail in its obligation to protect the integrity of its election, the Department of Justice wrote in its legal filing. I'm the one that said do it, Trump said last month of the lawsuit. The suit argued that a Democratic victory should be considered invalid if Peltola wins by a margin smaller than the total number of votes that Dan J. Sullivan receives under the assumption that those votes may have come from confused voters who intended to vote for the incumbent Republican senator instead. Democrats asked the courts to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the administration lacks any statutory or constitutional authority to insert itself into the state's electoral process. Alaska's state government, which is currently led by Republicans, also moved to dismiss the administration's lawsuit. On Oct. 26, a federal judge agreed to fast-track consideration of the dispute to potentially allow it to be resolved before Election Day. Before Gleason's ruling, many legal experts said the lawsuit had a slim chance of success. First, it required a very specific outcome in which Peltola wins by what would likely need to be a very thin margin. Even in that scenario, election law experts said, the appearance of confusion on the part of voters did not create legal grounds for the federal DOJ to have the results rejected. I believe that this lawsuit is abusive in its intentions and borders on frivolous in its arguments, and that it is destined for defeat in the courts should it reach the merits, Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, told the Alaska Beacon . Nicholas Stephanopoulos, a Harvard law professor, told the Harvard Gazette that the law the administration is relying on in its lawsuit the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) does not give federal authorities any power to challenge state election procedures. The lawsuit has nothing to do with voter registration. There's no allegation that anybody is improperly registered in Alaska; there's no claim that Alaska isn't in compliance with the NVRA's requirements for voter registration, Stephanopoulos said. More generally, experts say the lawsuit runs against the Constitution's language granting states the power to run their own elections. This is purely a matter of state law, and the administration has absolutely no authority to tell Alaska when or how to certify the results of its Senate election, David Becker, a former Justice Department attorney who worked on voting rights cases, told Alaska Public Media . What's next? Voters decide the race Tuesday. The Justice Department is expected to appeal Gleasons ruling, while the federal criminal investigation, Dunleavys state investigation and the House Oversight Committees inquiry continue. An appeal would likely only matter in an extremely close race, which is not the recent norm in Alaska. The last time Dan S. Sullivan was on the ballot, he defeated his top challenger, independent candidate Al Gross, by 45,000 votes . The most recent Senate race, in 2022, was closer, but the top two finishers were both Republicans. Things are expected to be much tighter this time around. Peltola has held a consistent lead in the polls since the summer, but her advantage has steadily shrunk in the months leading up to Election Day. The most recent surveys have her ahead by 2 points, well within the margin for Sullivan to win. The Cook Political Report, one of the nation's most respected election forecasters, lists the race as a toss-up. Another well-regarded forecaster, the Center for Politics, categorizes it as leans Democrat.

When SS Rajamouli revealed that Prabhas is to 'too lazy to get married
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 1 (IANS) While the admirers of Prabhas have been waiting with bated breath to see their beloved actor tie the knot, he chooses to maintain his single status even at 46. However, as Prabhas appeared on 'Koffee With Karan' with the 'Baahubali' team - director SS Rajamouli and co-star Rana Daggubati, the filmmaker revealed the real reason why Prabhas is not married till now. The 'RRR' maker shared that Prabhas was too lazy to get married. He said that the 'Sahoo' actor is a very shy and introverted person and approaching someone for marriage might be too much work for him. It would be too much work for him to find a girl and talk to her parents. Thats why he isnt getting married, SS Rajamouli said. During the episode, SS Rajamouli had even predicted that Rana Daggubati would get married before Prabhas, which eventually came true. Rana Daggubati married Miheeka Bajaj, a Hyderabad-based entrepreneur and event designer, on August 8, 2020, in a traditional ceremony. During the fun episode, host and filmmaker Karan Johar also asked Rana Daggubati if he had to set up Prabhas with any actress from the Hindi film industry; who would that be? Answering the question, the actor quickly took Katrina Kaif's name. Karan Johar then asked Prabhas if he approved of his co-star's choice. However, Prabhas dodged the question, saying that it is not his question to answer. Meanwhile, Prabhas has often been romantically linked with his 'Baahubali' co-star Anushka Shetty. However, over the years, both of them have maintained that they are 'just good friends'. Speaking about the 'Baahubali' series, the first instalment, 'Baahubali: The Beginning', was released in theatres on 10 July 2015. The primary cast of the project included Prabhas as Amarendra Baahubali, and Mahendra (Shivudu) Baahubali, Rana Daggubati as Bhallaladeva, Anushka Shetty as Devasena, Tamannaah Bhatia as Avanthika, Ramya Krishnan as Sivagami, and Sathyaraj as Kattappa, along with others. This was followed by the sequel, 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' in 2017.

Several missing, rescue ops on after landslide hits village in Odisha's Ganjam
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Nov 1 (IANS) Rescue operations are underway as 11 persons are still missing following massive landslide in Gidipabali village of Odisha's Ganjam district on October 28 due to the effect of expectational rainfall triggered by Cyclone Arnab. Speaking to the media persons on Sunday, Odisha's Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari said that those who survived the landslide three days ago and fled on foot through the forest, walking throughout the night to reach the relief centre, told the administration that the settlement has a population of 25. Of them, only 13 managed to reach the relief centre. So, naturally, 12 people remain missing. Whether they moved towards Kandhamal, crossed streams and drainage channels through the forest towards Ganjam, or went in some other direction is being investigated, the Minister added. Pujari said that personnel from the Special Operations Group (SOG), the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) have also been deployed in the area under the supervision of the Collector and the Sub-Collector. The Minister added that the body of one person has so far been recovered from under the debris during the rescue operations. Meanwhile, the Indian Railways also mobilises specialised manpower and heavy equipment to assist Odisha government in clearing debris following massive landslide in Bhanjanagar on the Ganjam-Kandhamal border. An advanced 'Seismic Life Detection Unit' is also deployed directly in the rescue operation to make the efforts more effective. This state-of-the-art technology, used by the Indian Navy, is equipped with specialised sensors and scanning capabilities that can detect signs of life beneath soil, mud or debris. As per the official information, work is progressing on a war footing to normalise public life in the affected districts. The Ganjam and Kandhamal districts have been affected the most by the cyclone and subsequent floods. A total population of 1,18,730 has been impacted by this disaster. While three deaths were reported in Kandhamal district, the administration acted swiftly to evacuate 75,855 people to safe locations. As many as 396 relief camps have been opened for the evacuated people to provide necessary assistance. Additionally, 807 pregnant women were shifted to safe places, and 399 of them have given birth. Crop area spanning 75,388 hectares has been affected, along with damage to 1,672 houses. The state administration has also kept a close watch on the fresh cyclonic storm approaching the Andhra Pradesh Coast.

HYLO Open: Indian shuttlers shine as Sindhu, Lakshya emerge champions (Ld)
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 1 (IANS) In a standout week for India, PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen were crowned womens singles and mens singles champions at the HYLO Open 2026, a BWF World Tour Super 500 event that concluded at the Saarlandhalle in Germany on Sunday. Japan Open champion earlier this year, Sindhu capped another impressive week by winning the HYLO Open without dropping a single game, securing straight-games victories in all her matches. The second-seeded Indian outplayed Denmarks Line Hojmark Kjarsfeldt 21-12, 21-14 in just 39 minutes. This victory was a successful two-week run for Sindhu, who finished as runner-up at the French Open last week before claiming the HYLO Open title. The result also marks a strong return to form for the Indian ace after a difficult 2025 season. Commenting on the same, Sindhu said, It has been an amazing two weeks I would say. Hats off to my whole team, we've been planning accordingly. As you keep growing, it's important to get your things better and be smarter in what you choose. But I think at the same time it was important for me to just stay calm. More than anything, there is still room to improve. Sindhu also overcame 19-year-old fellow Indian Anmol Kharb in the semi-finals, marking a memorable week for India overall and highlighting the rising talent in Indian badminton. In mens singles, Lakshya Sen dominated fourth seed Jonathan Christie of Indonesia to win 21-17, 21-10 in 39 minutes. The victory secured Sen his first title of the season and levelled his head-to-head record against Christie. It's been quite some time since I've won a tournament, so it feels really good to play this well. The last two matches that I played were really top quality opponents and I managed to beat them convincingly. I'm happy with the way I played and really happy to win a tournament, said Lakshya about his performance at HYLO. This is the first time in four years that two Indians have won two titles at the same BWF World Tour event at the Super 500 level or above. The last such occasion was at the India Open in 2022, when Lakshya Sen won the mens singles title and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty claimed the mens doubles crown.

Pakistan court's decision raises questions over interpretation of workplace harassment: Report
Digital Desk | Islamabad, Nov 1 (IANS) Pakistan's Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) has overturned the Islamabad High Court's ruling in the workplace harassment case of Nadia Sarwar, raising questions about the interpretation of workplace harassment and the protection of women's rights in a patriarchal society, a report said. The case has sparked concerns about whose experiences the law considers and whether it adequately assesses the power imbalances women face at the workplace in Pakistan. The case started in 2012 when Nadia Sarwar said that she faced workplace harassment at the National Bank of Pakistan. After proceedings before the federal ombudsperson, two officers were directed to undergo compulsory retirement. Subsequently, the President reduced the penalties of officials to censure, according to the report in Union of Catholic Asian (UCA) News. Later, the Islamabad High Court restored the original penalties. However, the Federal Constitutional Court has now overturned that verdict and restored the President's order. The case raises concerns about how harassment is interpreted and how institutional power and legal authority shape women's access to justice in Pakistan. Pakistan's FCC interpreted the pre-2022 amendment in which workplace allegations required a sexual element, according to the report. Nevertheless, the decision has renewed concerns about how harassment is defined and proved. A narrow interpretation may leave some forms of gender-based mistreatment outside the scope of workplace harassment law, even when they create a hostile or intimidating working environment, Anee Muskan said in a report in UCA News. The question is whether legal definitions and evidentiary standards adequately account for the realities of women working under the authority of colleagues or supervisors. The difficulties of reporting harassment are well documented in Pakistan, the author added. Several lawyers in Pakistan have raised concerns over the FCC's ruling in the workplace harassment case of Nadia Sarwar. Lawyer Aaminah Qadir said the FCC verdict was against a judgment given by a female Supreme Court judge who actually understands (first-hand) that implications of harassment at work may not always be overtly sexual. This goes against a Supreme Court judgment from a female judge who actually understands (first hand) that implications of harassment at work may not always be overtly sexual. Sad days as we take steps back & undermine solid judgments from the Supreme Court. Gender gap is sure to widen, Qadir said on social media platform X. Reema Omer said that the FCC's verdict on workplace harassment limits the ambit of the law to only sexual harassment and seems to increase the burden of proof on the complainant, terming the case as another example of how the FCC experiment is a complete and utter disaster. In a post on X, Omer added, The Federal Constitutional Courts judgment on workplace harassment limits the ambit of the law to only sexual harassment and appears to increase the burden of proof on the complainant. It is easily one of the most regressive judgments related to gender-based abuse in recent times and fails victims of harassment, including women. It is poorly reasoned, disconnected with how workplace harassment actually occurs, and ignores important sections of the law it is supposed to interpret. Yet another example of how the FCC experiment is a complete and utter disaster, she said.

Today, Haryana is rapidly advancing towards achieving the objectives of its establishment. Recently, a train running on hydrogen fuel has been launched between Jind and Sonipat. This hydrogen-powered train is the country's first, she added. She expressed appreciation for sportspersons from Haryana, especially the daughters, who have made the nation proud with their remarkable achievements at international level. Out of the seven gold medals won by Haryana's athletes at the Commonwealth Games held this year, five were secured by daughters. Para athlete Sharmila Dhanda from Rewari proved by clinching a gold medal that if determination is unwavering, physical challenges cannot block the path to success for long.
