Delhi Police has imposed multi-layered security and traffic restrictions in central Delhi as football icon Lionel Messi attends an event at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the final stop of his India tour.

Delhi Police Intensify Security for Lionel Messi's Arrival at Arun Jaitley Stadium

Lionel Messi's Delhi Visit Elevates Security

Delhi Police has imposed multi-layered security and traffic restrictions in central Delhi as football icon Lionel Messi attends an event at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the final stop of his India tour.

Delhi Police has beefed up security in the central parts of the national capital and set up traffic restrictions as global football icon Lionel Messi sets foot in the city, the final stop of his GOAT tour of India.
The Argentine legend is scheduled to attend an event at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday between 1 pm and 4 pm. He kicked off the tour in Kolkata, which turned chaotic. However, the 2022 World Cup champion's Hyderabad and Mumbai visit went on smoothly.
With Delhi ready to welcome Messi, police are maintaining heightened vigil, especially in view of the recent fiasco in Kolkata, where chaos erupted at the Salt Lake Stadium after thousands of fans protested over failing to get a clear glimpse of the icon.
Delhi Police said an elaborate and multi-layered security bandobast has been put in place for Messi's visit. A senior police officer said comprehensive arrangements have been made with a strong focus on crowd management, access control and traffic regulation.
According to police, multiple security rings have been established around the venue, with deployment of additional police personnel along with paramilitary forces to maintain law and order. Entry to the stadium and designated areas is being strictly regulated, and no one is being permitted without a valid pass.
"Anti-sabotage checks, frisking points and surveillance through CCTV cameras form a key part of the security plan," the officer said.
The officer added that quick reaction teams, senior supervisory officers and emergency response units are on standby throughout the event, with public safety being the top priority.
On the traffic front, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Nishant Gupta said they have identified three main parking areas for labelled vehicles, including P1 near Vikram Nagar. Vehicles without labels are required to be parked at the Rajghat Powerhouse parking lot and Mata Sundari Lane, from where pedestrians can walk to the stadium.
App-based taxi users have been advised to alight vehicles at Rajghat Chowk and walk. Parking has been strictly prohibited around the Arun Jaitley Stadium, and vehicles found parked there will be towed and fined, the officer said.
The public has been encouraged to use the metro and buses as far as possible to reduce congestion and ensure smooth movement.
Public movement is expected to pick up around 11 am. Commuters have been advised to avoid Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, ITO, Delhi Gate, Netaji Subhash Marg and Brijmohan Chowk from 10 am till the event concludes.&nbsp;

Delhi remained engulfed in dense fog and toxic smog on Monday as visibility dropped to near zero and air quality slipped into the ‘Severe Plus’ category, disrupting flights, trains and road traffic.

Dense fog and severe pollution choke Delhi, flights and trains disrupted

Delhi remained engulfed in dense fog and toxic smog on Monday as visibility dropped to near zero and air quality slipped into the &lsquo;Severe Plus&rsquo; category, disrupting flights, trains and road traffic.

Delhi remained shrouded in dense fog on Monday morning, with visibility dropping to near zero across large parts of the city, severely affecting road traffic and transport services.&nbsp;
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert for fog and urged people to exercise caution. According to the IMD, the minimum temperature dipped to 8.2 degrees Celsius overnight.
The foggy conditions coincided with a sharp deterioration in air quality. Delhi&rsquo;s Air Quality Index (AQI) plunged into the &ldquo;Severe Plus&rdquo; category, crossing 456. In Ashok Vihar, the AQI touched the maximum level of 500 during the early hours of the day.
Several areas reported alarmingly high pollution levels. Visuals from Anand Vihar and Akshardham showed thick toxic smog engulfing the neighbourhoods, with AQI readings at 493, placing them in the &lsquo;Severe&rsquo; category. Dwarka also witnessed similar conditions, recording an AQI of 469, which falls under the &lsquo;Severe&rsquo; bracket. In neighbouring Noida, air quality deteriorated further, with the AQI reaching 454, categorised as &lsquo;Severe Plus&rsquo;.
As per official classification, an AQI of 51&ndash;100 is considered &lsquo;satisfactory&rsquo;, 101&ndash;200 &lsquo;moderate&rsquo;, 201&ndash;300 &lsquo;poor&rsquo;, 301&ndash;400 &lsquo;very poor&rsquo;, 401&ndash;450 &lsquo;severe&rsquo;, and 451&ndash;500 &lsquo;severe plus&rsquo;.
Videos circulating on social media showed dense fog blanketing much of the Delhi-NCR region, reducing visibility to near zero and making driving conditions extremely hazardous.
In response to the worsening weather, Delhi airport issued an advisory on Monday morning warning passengers of possible delays in flight operations. Travellers were advised to check with their respective airlines before heading to the airport.
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/693f8def86318_1765772783.jpg" width="430" height="430">
&ldquo;Due to dense fog, flight operations may experience disruptions. We are working closely with all stakeholders to minimize inconvenience to passengers. For the latest flight updates, passengers are advised to contact their respective airlines. We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused,&rdquo; the advisory stated.
IndiGo also released a separate advisory, asking passengers to stay updated on their flight status through its website or mobile application.
&ldquo;Low visibility and fog over Delhi will impact flight schedules. We're keeping a close watch on the weather and doing our best to get you where you need to be, safely and smoothly. We request you to stay updated on your flight status via our website or app. Be assured, our teams are here to assist you at every step and ensure support. Here's hoping dearer skies help us serve you better soon and thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time,&rdquo; the airline said.
&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Low visibility and fog over &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Delhi?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#Delhi&lt;/a&gt; will impact flight schedules.

Rail services in North India were similarly affected, with Indian Railways reporting delays to around 60 trains, some running several hours late due to the dense fog.
Meanwhile, health experts warned of serious risks associated with prolonged exposure to toxic air. Speaking to news agency PTI, an expert advised people to avoid outdoor walks or exercise, particularly in the morning hours. She suggested stepping out only when absolutely necessary, preferably later in the day when sunlight helps disperse pollutants, and stressed that wearing masks is essential for those who must venture out for work.

The government has circulated a bill among Lok Sabha members to repeal MGNREGA and introduce the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin), offering 125 days of rural employment.

Government Proposes New Bill to Replace MGNREGA with VB-G RAM G

Proposed VB-G RAM G Bill Aims to Replace MGNREGA

The government has circulated a bill among Lok Sabha members to repeal MGNREGA and introduce the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin), offering 125 days of rural employment.

A bill to repeal the MGNREGA and bring a new law for rural employment -- Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Bill, 2025 -- is set to be introduced in the Lok Sabha.
According to a copy of the bill, it seeks to introduce the VB-G RAM G Bill, 2025, in Parliament and repeal the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act of 2005.
The bill aims at establishing a "rural development framework aligned with the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047", by providing a statutory guarantee of 125 days of wage employment in every financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to undertake unskilled manual work.
The bill has been listed in the Lok Sabha in the supplementary list of business issued on Monday.
Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, in the statement of purpose of the Bill, said MGNREGA has provided guaranteed wage-employment to rural households over the past 20 years.
However, "further strengthening has become necessary in view of the significant socio-economic transformation witnessed in the rural landscape driven by widespread coverage of the social security interventions and saturation-oriented implementation of major government schemes", he said.
While the MGNREGA focused on the goal to "enhance the livelihood security", the new bill says it aims to promote "empowerment, growth, convergence and saturation for a prosperous and resilient rural Bharat", and lays emphasis on "empowerment, growth, convergence and saturation through public works aggregating into forming Viksit Bharat National Rural Infrastructure Stack".
Water security through water-related works, core rural infrastructure, livelihood-related infrastructure, and special works to mitigate extreme weather events will be the "thematic focus". It will also facilitate adequate farm-labour availability during peak agricultural seasons.
According to the bill, it is crucial to facilitate the availability of farm labour, especially during the peak agricultural season. It has a provision to empower states to notify in advance, for a certain duration, covering peak sowing and harvesting seasons, during which execution of works under this bill will not be undertaken.
With a focus on institutionalised convergence, the bill seeks to integrate 'Viksit Gram Panchayat Plans' with the PM Gati Shakti to address the "varying needs" of village panchayats.
A comprehensive digital ecosystem, including biometric authentication at various levels, global positioning system or mobile-based worksite monitoring, real-time management information system dashboards, proactive public disclosures, and use of artificial intelligence for planning, audits and fraud risk mitigation, will be used to modernise governance, accountability and citizen engagement, the bill stated.
It will be a centrally sponsored scheme, and every state government will have to prepare a scheme for giving effect to the guarantee proposed under this bill, within a period of six months from the date of the commencement of the Act.
The centre would make an allocation for each state, to be estimated based on certain parameters. Further, expenditure in excess of the approved normative allocation shall be the responsibility of the state governments.
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, better known as MGNREGA, aims at enhancing the livelihood security of households in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. It was enacted in 2005.
The Winter Session of Parliament, which started on December 1, will conclude on December 19.

The Rajya Sabha has adopted a resolution confirming President’s Rule in Manipur amid ongoing ethnic tensions. 

Rajya Sabha confirms imposition of President's rule in Manipur

While opposition leaders criticized the Centre for its inaction, Union Home Minister Amit Shah defended the government, citing ongoing peace efforts.

The Rajya Sabha early Friday adopted a Statutory Resolution confirming the imposition of President's Rule in strife-torn Manipur with members across party lines supporting the decision.
Even though opposition members slammed the Centre for its failure to restore law and order in the state and control violence, the government said it was making all efforts to bring normalcy in the state, asserting that its policy was not to impose President's Rule in states.
Speaking at the end of the discussion on the resolution, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said a meeting between the two communities from Manipur is likely to take place in the national capital soon.
Shah informed the House that two meetings between the communities had already taken place in Manipur while the House was in session.
"...We are investing our efforts to bring peace back in Manipur. Thirteen meetings have happened. We brought up the subject late as meetings were going on. The next meeting is in the offing and the issue will see its resolution soon," the minister said.
"The path to communication is open... We don't use this for political mileage," Shah added.
He accused the Congress and other parties of trying to spread misinformation as there was "zero violence" in Manipur.
The minister claimed that on February 11, the Manipur chief minister had resigned and as the news broke, the Congress brought a no-confidence against him even though it did not have the numbers.
"I want to set the record straight. There was no no-confidence motion against the Manipur government. The Congress did not have the required numbers. They were not in a position to bring a no-confidence motion and the chief minister of Manipur had resigned," Shah said.
He said after the resignation of former chief minister N Biren Singh, no other party, including the Congress which has five MLAs, staked claim and President's Rule was imposed.
Though he admitted that 260 lives were lost in Manipur in the ethnic strife, he said the majority of people were killed in the first week of violence.
He said talks were on with both, Meitei and Kuki, communities for a peaceful solution.
Shah also attacked the opposition for "politicising" the violence and said similar incidents took place in the state during the Congress regime, when no prime minister visited the state Seven years ago, he said, a 225-day curfew was imposed in Manipur.
Even in those days of the Congress regime, no prime minister visited Manipur, he claimed.
Referring to his "Communist friends" objection to the prime minister not visiting the state, Shah said, "I don't understand what is the problem. Are they trying to safeguard Naxalism or violence in Manipur." Shah said they should be competent enough to differentiate between ethnic strife in Manipur and the problem of Naxalism.
These problems are not the same, they are different, he asserted.
The home minister accused the TMC of following "dual standards," claiming that 250 lives were lost in the post-poll violence in West Bengal alone and the state took no action in the Sandeshkhali and RG Kar Hospital incidents.
"We are not supporting any gender crime happening in Manipur. We will deal with that. You could not deal with what was happening in West Bengal," he said.
Shah said the northeast has a history of ethnic struggle, but the BJP never "politicised" it.
In 1993, he said, the Naga-Kuki strife broke out and continued till 1998, claiming 750 lives.
But, the then PM did not visit the region, he claimed.
Shah said such struggles take time to cool off and many a time five years have taken for normalcy to return.
Earlier, initiating the discussion on a statutory resolution on the imposition of President's Rule in Manipur, Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit strife-torn Manipur at the earliest to restore order.
Kharge said the Modi government failed to govern the northeastern state despite having a majority there. "For nearly two years, Manipur has been burning and the government has totally failed in stopping the violence," he said.
He alleged that the BJP's "double-engine" government promised stability, but instead, delivered "bloodshed, division, and economic collapse" to the state.
"I would urge the prime minister to visit Manipur, meet the affected people resolve their issues and set right the law and order situation there," he said.
The Congress leader also demanded a thorough inquiry into the violence in Manipur and also a white paper tabled in the Parliament on the matter.&nbsp;

The Waqf Amendment Bill 2025 was passed in Parliament after a heated 13-hour debate, with the opposition calling it anti-Muslim and unconstitutional, while the government defended it as a move for transparency and minority welfare.

Parliament passes Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, after Rajya Sabha nod

The Waqf Amendment Bill 2025 was passed in Parliament after a heated 13-hour debate, with the opposition calling it anti-Muslim and unconstitutional, while the government defended it as a move for transparency and minority welfare.

Parliament early Friday approved the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, after the Rajya Sabha gave its nod to the contentious legislation following an over 13-hour debate.
The discussion witnessed staunch objections from opposition parties, which termed the Bill "anti-Muslim" and "unconstitutional" with the government responding that the "historic reform" would benefit the minority community.
The Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha with 128 members voting in favour and 95 opposing it. It was passed in the Lok Sabha early Thursday, with 288 members supporting it and 232 against it.
Parliament also approved the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill, 2025, with the Rajya Sabha approving it. The Lok Sabha has already given its nod to the Bill.
Participating in the discussion, Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju accused the Congress and other opposition parties of scaring the Muslim community with the Bill and asserted that the central government worked for all with the motto of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'.
Rijiju said the Waqf Board is a statutory body and, as such, like all government bodies, it should be secular. He said the inclusion of a few non-Muslims on the Waqf Board would not alter the decisions of the body and instead would add value.
The minister also claimed that the Bill brought by the government has incorporated several suggestions made by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) as well as the stakeholders.
The Opposition INDIA bloc parties opposed the Bill, alleging that it was "unconstitutional" and aimed at targeting Muslims. They claimed that the aim of the legislation was to take over the properties of Muslims and hand them to corporations.
Leaders of several opposition parties, including the Congress, the TMC, the DMK, the AAP, the Shiv Sena (UBT), the Samajwadi Party, the RJD, and Left parties, alleged that the Bill was brought by the government with mala fide intentions. Some of them also demanded the withdrawal of the Bill.
Intervening in the discussion, Leader of the House and BJP leader J P Nadda said the Bill is not against Muslims and claimed that it is aimed at helping the poor and protecting the rights of Muslim women.
Nadda accused the Congress of making Muslim women second-grade citizens during its rule at the Centre.
"You made the Indian Muslim ladies second-grade citizens," Nadda said, referring to the Congress party and added, "It was only India where Muslim women were not brought into the mainstream." While triple talaq was banned in Muslim countries such as Egypt, Sudan, Bangladesh, and Syria several years ago, the Congress-led UPA government did nothing for Muslim women while it was in power for a decade.
"We believe in real service, not lip service...I stand in support of the (Waqf) Bill as its sole purpose is to bring reforms in managing the Waqf properties," Nadda said.
Rijiju said the Waqf Board is a statutory body and all government bodies should be secular. Explaining the inclusion of non-Muslims on the Board, he said the number of non-Muslims has been restricted to only four out of 22.
He also accused the Congress and other opposition parties of "pushing Muslims out of the mainstream." For 60 years, he alleged, the Congress and others ruled the country but did not do much for the welfare of Muslims, who continue to remain poor.
Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said the government is trying to sow the seeds of conflict by suppressing Muslims through the Bill and appealed to the ruling party not to disturb peace and harmony in the country.
Kharge, also the Congress president, said the legislation is "unconstitutional" and not good for Indian Muslims. He urged the government to withdraw the Bill which has a lot of "mistakes" and not make it a prestige issue.
He also accused the NDA government of trying to create trouble for Muslims, claiming that the Bill seeks to destroy the community by usurping their properties.
Earlier, initiating the debate, Congress MP Syed Naseer Hussain termed the proposed legislation "unconstitutional" and alleged that it targets the Muslim community.
He also accused the BJP of using the proposed legislation to trigger communal tension and polarisation in the society to strengthen its vote bank.
He alleged that the Bill seeks to treat Muslims as "second-class" citizens in the country. Hussain also noted that the BJP-led government was trying to bulldoze the legislation in the Upper House.
Manoj Jha of the RJD said the "content and intent" of the Bill puts a question mark on the government's motives. He also said the government should send the Bill to the select committee of Parliament once again.
Jha alleged the Bill was akin to "dog whistle politics" to keep Muslims away from the mainstream.
Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav emphasised all religions must be treated with respect and the government must prevent India from "shifting towards a totalitarian state." He said India has a huge population of minorities, especially Muslims and if a large section of people feel that injustice has been meted out to them, any efforts to appease them will not work.
John Brittas of the CPI(M) said the Bill was an attack on the Constitution.
"It attacks the basic tenets of India's Constitution, its secularism, democracy, and equality. There is a cardinal violation happening. They have already discriminated against people by segregating them. They are now segregating God from God. Hindu God from Allah," he said.
Y V Subba Reddy of the YSRCP too opposed the Bill, saying it was "unconstitutional".
Congress member Abhishek Singhvi said the Bill has omitted the concept of 'Waqf by user', at least prospectively, by disallowing Waqfs to be created based on uninterrupted usage over a significant period.
"This is a deliberate attempt by the government to further its own agenda by minimising protection conferred upon Waqf properties with the right hand and significantly increase its own control and power to permanently claim these properties with its left hand," Singhvi alleged.
Independent MP Kapil Sibal said non-Muslims could earlier form the Waqf Board too, but this Bill does not allow that anymore. He said there should be reform in the Hindu religion and questioned why only one community was being targeted.
"Bring a law to ensure that women have rights in bequeathing property," he said, urging the government to make a commitment in the House that it would bring a law to maintain the rights of daughters.
While BJD's Muzibulla Khan said Muslims were concerned over the inclusion of non-Muslims on the Waqf Board, party leader Sasmit Patra said the BJD had not issued any whip to its MPs and they were free to vote of their own will.
DMK leader Tiruchi Siva said his party opposes the Bill as it is legally flawed.
"I stand on behalf of my party to oppose this Bill... We reject the Bill in its entirety because it is legally flawed, constitutionally indefensible and morally reprehensible," he stated.
"Why is a certain community being targeted is our question?" Siva asked.
The intention of the government is mala fide and deplorable, and the DMK is certain that the Supreme Court will strike the Bill down, Siva said.
AAP member Sanjay Singh said the Bill is against the tenets of the Indian Constitution, and alleged that the government wants to control Muslim religious bodies through the legislation.
Singh noted that after Muslims, the government will target other religious bodies of the Sikhs, Christians, and Jains and hand them over to their "friends".
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut spoke against the Bill and questioned the government's intent.
"Why is the government so worried about poor Muslims?" Raut said, accusing the NDA of diverting attention from US President Donald Trump's announcement of reciprocal tariffs on India.&nbsp;

Parliament's nod to Waqf Bill 'watershed moment': PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hails the passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill as a major step toward transparency, socio-economic justice, and inclusive growth, despite strong opposition in Parliament.
&nbsp;

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday hailed the passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill in Parliament as a "watershed moment" in the country's collective quest for socio-economic justice, transparency and inclusive growth.
He said this will particularly help those who have long remained on the margins, thus being denied both voice and opportunity.
&nbsp;

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
In posts on X, he said the Waqf system for decades was synonymous with lack of transparency and accountability, especially harming the interests of Muslim women, poor Muslims and Pasmanda Muslims.
He said, "The passage of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill and the Mussalman Wakf (Repeal) Bill by both Houses of Parliament marks a watershed moment in our collective quest for socio-economic justice, transparency and inclusive growth."
He added that the legislations passed by Parliament will boost transparency and also safeguard people&rsquo;s rights.
PM Modi said India will now enter an era where the framework will be more modern and sensitive to social justice.

&nbsp;
He said, "On a larger note, we remain committed to prioritising the dignity of every citizen. This is also how we build a stronger, more inclusive and more compassionate India."
&nbsp;
The prime minister thanked all the members of Parliament who participated in the parliamentary and committee discussions, voiced their perspectives and contributed to the strengthening of these legislations. He offered special thanks to the countless people who sent their valuable inputs to the Parliamentary committee.
He said, "Yet again, the importance of extensive debate and dialogue has been reaffirmed."
The Rajya Sabha passed the Bill last night, a day after the Lok Sabha had given the contentious draft law, opposed strongly by a united opposition, its approval.

Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah clarifies that the INDIA bloc is not involved in Congress's "vote chori" campaign, as the party claims six crore signatures against alleged electoral irregularities.

'Vote chori' issue raised by Cong, INDIA bloc has nothing to do with it: Omar Abdullah

Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah clarifies that the INDIA bloc is not involved in Congress's "vote chori" campaign, as the party claims six crore signatures against alleged electoral irregularities.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday distanced himself from the "vote chori" issue raised by the Congress and said the "INDIA bloc has got nothing to do with it".
His remarks came a day after top Congress leaders attacked the BJP and the election commissioners at a 'Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod' rally in the national capital, alleging that "vote chori" is in the ruling party's DNA and its leaders were "gaddar" who were conspiring to take away voting rights of people and should be removed from power.
Abdullah's National Conference is a constituent of the opposition INDIA bloc. The Congress is the largest party in the coalition in terms of the number of opposition MPs in the Lok Sabha.
Asked to comment on the issue of "vote chori" and alleged electoral irregularities being highlighted by the Congress, Abdullah said, "The INDIA bloc has got nothing to do with it. Every political party is at liberty to set its own agenda. The Congress has made 'vote chori' and SIR as its main issues. Who are we to tell them otherwise?"&nbsp;
The Congress has claimed that it has collected around six crore signatures against "vote theft" and will present the same to the President of India.

Three PILs have been allowed by the Calcutta High Court following the spectator chaos at Salt Lake Stadium during Lionel Messi’s event, seeking probe by CBI, ED, and SFIO into crowd unrest and financial irregularities.

Messi event stadium rampage: Calcutta HC to hear petitions seeking transfer of probe to central agencies

Three PILs have been allowed by the Calcutta High Court following the spectator chaos at Salt Lake Stadium during Lionel Messi&rsquo;s event, seeking probe by CBI, ED, and SFIO into crowd unrest and financial irregularities.

Ripples of Saturday's Salt Lake Stadium spectator rampage during Argentine football legend Lionel Messi's showcase event reached the corridors of the Calcutta High Court on Monday, after Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Pal allowed the filing of three separate PILs related to the fiasco.
The petitions sought the court&rsquo;s intervention to transfer the probe into the stadium violence to central agencies such as the CBI, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO).
The petitions, separately moved by the state's Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari and advocates Sabyasachi Chattopadhyay and Mainak Ghoshal, are likely to be heard together by the court later this week.
Appearing for Adhikari, advocate Bilwadal Bhattacharya sought permission to file a petition seeking the court's intervention into unearthing the factors that led to the crowd unrest on Saturday. He also challenged the authority of the three-member inquiry committee constituted by the state government and headed by retired justice Ashim Kumar Ray.
The turn of events led to a loss of face for West Bengal before the entire world, the petitioner alleged.
The other two petitions claimed that the state-appointed committee was constituted in haste and prayed that possible financial irregularities in the sale of tickets and suspicious monetary transactions linked to the event should also be probed.
Bidhannagar Police, which is currently investigating the case, has ordered the freezing of bank accounts of the organisation responsible for the sale and distribution of tickets and has directed the stoppage of monetary transactions between the organisation and Shatadru Dutta, the prime organiser of the event, who has since been arrested, officials said.
The state-appointed high-level committee led by retired justice Ashim Kumar Ray, which also comprises the chief secretary and home secretary as members, visited the ransacked stadium on Sunday to take stock of the damages and informed reporters that it would submit its report within the next fortnight.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, while announcing the formation of the committee within hours of the incident, said its mandate included fixing accountability and suggesting measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
An estimated damage of over Rs 2 crore to the stadium was caused on account of spectator outrage, who resorted to an unprecedented rampage after Messi's brief and tightly ring-fenced appearance&mdash;his first at the venue since 2011&mdash;left large sections of the crowd frustrated, as they failed to catch a glimpse of their superstar despite having travelled from far and wide, paying hefty sums for tickets.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticises government’s plan to repeal MGNREGA and introduce VB-G RAM G Bill, 2025, questioning the removal of Mahatma Gandhi’s name and financial implications of the change.

Why remove Mahatma Gandhi's name, asks Priyanka on move to replace MGNREGA

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticises government&rsquo;s plan to repeal MGNREGA and introduce VB-G RAM G Bill, 2025, questioning the removal of Mahatma Gandhi&rsquo;s name and financial implications of the change.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday slammed the government over its move to change the name of MGNREGA, asking what is the government's intention behind removing the name of Mahatma Gandhi who is the tallest leader not just in India but in the world.
A bill to repeal the MGNREGA and bring a new law for rural employment -- Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Bill, 2025 -- is set to be introduced in the Lok Sabha. According to a copy of the bill, it seeks to introduce the VB-G RAM G Bill, 2025, in Parliament and repeal the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) of 2005.
Asked about the government's move, Priyanka Gandhi said, "Whenever the name of a scheme is changed there are so many changes that have to be made in offices, stationery... for which money is spent. So, what is the benefit, why it is being done?"
"Why is Mahatma Gandhi's name being removed. Mahatma Gandhi is considered the tallest leader not just in the country but in the world, so removing his name, I really don't understand what is the objective? What is their intention?" she told reporters in Parliament House complex.
"Even when we are debating it is on other issues not the real issues of the people. Time is being wasted, money is being wasted, they are disrupting themselves," Priyanka Gandhi added.
The bill aims at establishing a "rural development framework aligned with the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047", by providing a statutory guarantee of 125 days of wage employment in every financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to undertake unskilled manual work.
The bill has been listed in the Lok Sabha in the supplementary list of business issued on Monday.
Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, in the statement of purpose of the Bill, said MGNREGA has provided guaranteed wage-employment to rural households over the past 20 years.
However, "further strengthening has become necessary in view of the significant socio-economic transformation witnessed in the rural landscape driven by widespread coverage of the social security interventions and saturation-oriented implementation of major government schemes", he said.

More than 60 flights were cancelled and several diverted at Delhi airport on Monday as dense fog and low visibility disrupted operations, leaving hundreds of flights delayed across northern India.

Dense fog disrupts ops at Delhi airport; over 60 flights cancelled

More than 60 flights were cancelled and several diverted at Delhi airport on Monday as dense fog and low visibility disrupted operations, leaving hundreds of flights delayed across northern India.

Over 60 flights were cancelled and 5 diverted at Delhi airport on Monday due to poor visibility conditions, according to an official.
Delhi airport operator DIAL said in a post on X shortly after 10 am that flight operations are still impacted due to dense fog.
"Our on-ground officials are working closely with all stakeholders to assist passengers and provide necessary support across Terminals," DIAL said.
The official said as of now, 61 cancellations and 5 diversions have been reported at the airport. Over 250 flights were delayed, he added.
"Low visibility (below minima), due to dense fog, has severely impacted operations at Delhi and other airports across northern India, which is unfortunately beyond our control," IndiGo said in a statement.
As operations are adjusted to prevailing weather conditions, some flights may experience delays, while a few others may be proactively cancelled during the day to prioritise safety and minimise extended waiting at the airport, the airline said in a statement.
IndiGo, however, did not say how many of its flights were cancelled and how many were delayed. The airline said its teams are "closely monitoring" the situation and coordinating with Delhi airport.
IndiGo also said it issued advisories to its customers and "proactively" informing them, to minimise inconvenience.
Delhi airport is the country's busiest airport and handles around 1,300 flight movements daily.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath accused Jawaharlal Nehru of making Kashmir controversial and fuelling extremism, while praising Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s role in integrating princely states.

Yogi Adityanath Blames Nehru for Kashmir Issues on Patel's Death Anniversary

Yogi Adityanath Criticizes Nehru, Praises Patel

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath accused Jawaharlal Nehru of making Kashmir controversial and fuelling extremism, while praising Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel&rsquo;s role in integrating princely states.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Yogi Adityanath on Monday blamed Jawaharlal Nehru for the extremism and separatism "emanating from Kashmir", and alleged that the first prime minister of India made the issue so "controversial" that it continues to sting the country even now.
Addressing an event on the 75th death anniversary of the country's first home minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, he referred to the integration of over 560 princely states into the Union of India and pointed to Junagadh and Hyderabad, which were prickly thorns in the process.
"All the Hindu princely states of India agreed to become a part of the Republic of India, but the Nawab of Junagadh and the Nizam of Hyderabad refused. Both had to be integrated into India. Through a bloodless revolution, solely due to Sardar Patel's wisdom, these two princely states became a part of India," Adityanath said.
He went on to say that there was uncertainty about the fate of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir.
"So, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru took the matter into his own hands. He made Jammu and Kashmir so controversial that it continued to sting India even after Independence. The country got extremism ('ugravaad') and separatism ('algaavaad') from Kashmir because of Pandit Nehru," the Uttar Pradesh chief minister claimed.
He added that the country is grateful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who, by fulfilling the dreams of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Syama Prasad Mookerjee, has abolished Article 370 in Kashmir, making it an integral part of India, while taking forward the resolve of one country, one constitution, and one flag.
"There were 567 princely states at the time of Independence, and they were integrated into the Republic of India. The country will always remember Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel as its architect. This is his creation," the chief minister said.
He pointed out that the Nawab of Junagadh and Hyderabad's Nizam did not want to join India, as the British gave the princely states the freedom to choose whether they wanted to join India or Pakistan, or maintain their independent existence.
Eulogising Sardar Patel, the Uttar Pradesh chief minister said the first home minister of India initiated numerous programmes in the country.
"Be it the restoration of the Somnath temple, the development of a mechanism to resolve various disputes within India, or giving the Indian Administrative Service its present form, all of this was made possible because of this great leader, Vallabhbhai Patel."
"It was the country's misfortune that just when India needed the glorious leadership of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for a longer period, he passed away on December 15, 1950," Adityanath said.
Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak also spoke on this occasion.
Earlier, in a post on X, Adityanath paid tributes to Patel, saying, "On the death anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the architect of India's unity and integrity from north to south and east to west, and the 'Iron Man' and 'Bharat Ratna, ' we pay him our humble tributes!
"His tireless contributions to the country's internal security, self-reliance, and the empowerment of farmers, and his vision of 'Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat, Surakshit Bharat' (One India, Great India, Secure India), are an inspiration to us all," he said.
Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Pathak also paid their tributes to Sardar Patel.
In a post in Hindi on X, Maurya said, "Our humble tributes to the architect of India's unity and integrity, the first home minister and deputy prime minister of Independent India, 'Bharat Ratna', the 'Iron Man' Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, on his death anniversary!"
"'Iron Man' Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel successfully integrated the princely states, providing a strong foundation for the nation's unity and security. By connecting farmers, backward classes, and marginalised sections of society through cooperatives, he propelled the country towards self-employment and self-reliance. His life, imbued with duty, courage, and service to the nation, remains a constant source of inspiration for all of us," Maurya said on X.
Pathak took to X to say, "Humble tributes to the architect of modern India, the symbol of national unity and integrity, the first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of independent India, Bharat Ratna, the Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, on his death anniversary."
Born in Nadiad, Gujarat, in 1875, Patel was a pivotal figure in India's struggle for Independence. As the country's first home minister, he was instrumental in integrating over 560 princely states into the Indian Union post-Independence. He died in 1950.

Newly appointed BJP national working president Nitin Nabin described his elevation as a blessing of the party, saying the BJP alone nurtures grassroots workers while crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership for inclusive development.

Nitin Nabin's Rise: A New Chapter for BJP Leadership

Nitin Nabin in BJP Leadership Role

Newly appointed BJP national working president Nitin Nabin described his elevation as a blessing of the party, saying the BJP alone nurtures grassroots workers while crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s leadership for inclusive development.

Newly appointed BJP national working president Nitin Nabin on Monday termed his elevation as a blessing of the party and claimed that it is the only political outfit that allows its grassroots workers to thrive.
He also thanked the BJP's leadership for the trust reposed in him before he left for Delhi.
"The BJP not only promotes youths but also guides and curates them to achieve larger goals. It is the only party that allows its grassroots workers to thrive," he said, while leaving for the airport here from his residence.
He urged party workers to work patiently to strengthen the organisation.
Earlier in the day, Nabin, who is Bihar's PWD minister, pledged to carry forward the work of his late father and former BJP MLA Nabin Kishor Prasad Sinha.
He paid floral tributes to a statue of his father at a park in Patna.
"I have always worked on the ideas of my father, who considered the party as his mother and prioritised the nation over everything. I think that is the reason the party has blessed me with this opportunity to continue working with BJP workers," he said.
He also visited Patna's Mahavir Mandir to offer prayers.
Nabin was appointed on Sunday as the BJP national working president and is likely to eventually succeed JP Nadda as its national president, signalling a generational shift in the ruling party.
He expressed gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised his leadership.
"Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, development has reached every town and village of the country. At the same time, Bharatiya Janata Party has also expanded its footprint and stands today as the party of the poor," he asserted.
Nabin emphasised that "no class in India today is left untouched" by the development schemes of the NDA government.
He claimed that the PM has taken the idea of 'Antyodaya' to every nook and corner of the country.
"Antyodaya was pioneered by personalities like Deendayal Upadhyaya and Syama Prasad Mookerjee, and promoted by Atal Bihari Vajpayee," Nabin said, adding that "now PM Modi has taken it to every village and town of the nation".
On the question of the party's strategy for the West Bengal elections, he said, "Be it Bengal, Assam or Uttar Pradesh, our party workers are always ready. This is the beauty of Bharatiya Janata Party. Others work during elections, but BJP karyakartas work 24x7."
Nabin, 45, is considered dynamic, ideologically rooted and deeply committed to the organisation, party leaders said.
He also comes from the RSS background.
A five-time MLA, Nabin represents Bankipur assembly constituency in Bihar and has served twice as a minister in the state government.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a PIL over IndiGo’s mass flight cancellations, asking the petitioner to approach the Delhi High Court, which is already hearing a similar matter.

Supreme Court Redirects PIL on IndiGo Cancellations to Delhi High Court

IndiGo Flight Cancellation PIL Moved to Delhi High Court

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a PIL over IndiGo&rsquo;s mass flight cancellations, asking the petitioner to approach the Delhi High Court, which is already hearing a similar matter.

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a PIL seeking judicial intervention into the issue of cancellation of hundreds of flights by IndiGo, and asked the petitioner to move the Delhi High Court with the grievances.
The Delhi High Court, on December 10, questioned the central government for not taking timely action to check the crisis caused by IndiGo flight cancellations and asked why the situation was allowed to precipitate, with lakhs of passengers stranded and other airlines charging hefty fares. It was hearing a PIL seeking directions to the Centre to provide support and refunds to passengers affected by the cancellation of hundreds of flights by IndiGo.
On Monday, a bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pamcholi took note of the submissions of petitioner Narendra Mishra that the plea needed a hearing at the top court and said the high court is already seized of another similar PIL.
The bench asked Mishra to approach the high court and granted him the liberty to come again if grievances are not addressed.
Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for IndiGo, said the DGCA has appointed an expert committee to look into flight cancellations and consequent problems faced by the flyers.
&ldquo;It is pointed out that a petition is pending before the Delhi High Court. It is stated that the DGCA has formed an expert committee dated December 5 &hellip;. All the issues raised herein are pending before the Delhi High Court. The petitioner is permitted to join proceedings before the Delhi High Court. &ldquo;And we request the Delhi High Court to allow him to intervene in the high court and raise all contentions therein. If all grievances are not redressed then nothing stops him or any other public spirited individual to approach this court,&rdquo; the bench said.
Mishra said the passengers are suffering as the flights are getting cancelled. &ldquo;It is a grave concern for the public &hellip;but the high court is looking into it. It (the high court) is also a constitutional court. If your grievances are not redressed then you can come here,&rdquo; the CJI said at the outset.
Earlier, the bench refused to accord urgent hearing to the plea seeking judicial intervention in the matter. It said the Centre has taken note of the situation and has taken steps to address it.
IndiGo has been facing heat from both the government and the passengers for cancelling hundreds of flights, citing regulatory changes in the pilots' flight duty and regulations norms. The disruptions have left lakhs of passengers stranded at airports across the country.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has sought an apology from Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over alleged threats made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a party rally in Delhi.

Kiren Rijiju Demands Apology from Congress Over PM Threats

Rijiju Demands Apology from Congress on Modi Threats

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has sought an apology from Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over alleged threats made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a party rally in Delhi.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday sought an apology from Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for their party workers' alleged threat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's life.
At a hurriedly called press conference here, Rijiju alleged that at Sunday's Congress rally in the national capital, some party workers had threatened to dig the grave of the Prime Minister, which was the "most unfortunate and tragic" thing to happen in Indian democracy.
"Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi should tender an apology for the Congress workers' threat to the life of the Prime Minister. They should tender the apology on the floor of both Houses of Parliament. It is most unfortunate and tragic that Congress workers openly declared to dig the grave of Prime Minister Modi," he said.
The parliamentary affairs minister said the workers and leaders of the Congress and the BJP are political rivals, not enemies. "We propagate different ideologies but work together for a developed India as dreamt by Prime Minister Modi," he said.
Rijiju said the political leaders wish each other in public despite political fights, which are separate issues, and leaders criticise each other in different ways.
"We oppose each other differently. We never think of killing each other, nor do we talk about that. What kind of mentality is this? What kind of practice is this where some people are threatening to kill political rivals openly?" he posed.
Rijiju said Modi is the prime minister of 140 crore people, the prime minister of the largest democracy in the world.
"The whole world respects PM Modi, the whole of India respects PM Modi. But if some people in the opposition threaten to kill the prime minister, it is most unfortunate and tragic. It will not end by just condemning the incident."
"In Parliament, the Congress president (Kharge) and the Leader of Opposition (Rahul Gandhi) should tender an apology. They should tender an apology to the country on the floor of Parliament," he said.
Rijiju said if there is any humanity left in the Congress and if they respect the people of the country, they should immediately tender an apology in both houses of Parliament.
"Then only will we accept that they have admitted their mistake. Abusing a prime minister is not acceptable in a decent society. The prime minister has always said that we never consider the opposition as enemies but as political opponents."
"We are all working for the country. But to openly declare taking the life of the honourable prime minister, to dig the grave of Modi ji, is the most unfortunate thing we have seen in the political history of India," he said.
Stepping up the campaign on the issue of alleged election irregularities, top Congress leaders on Sunday attacked the BJP and the election commissioners at a 'Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod' rally in the national capital, alleging that "vote chori" is in the ruling party's DNA and its leaders were "gaddar" who were conspiring to take away voting rights of people and should be removed from power.

The Aam Aadmi Party has accused the BJP-led Centre and Delhi Police of conspiring to harm Arvind Kejriwal ahead of the Delhi polls. Atishi and Bhagwant Mann, have demanded the restoration of Kejriwal’s security cover withdrawn by Punjab police.

Centre, Delhi Police conspiring to kill Kejriwal: AAP

The Aam Aadmi Party has accused the BJP-led Centre and Delhi Police of conspiring to harm Arvind Kejriwal ahead of the Delhi polls. Atishi and Bhagwant Mann, have demanded the restoration of Kejriwal&rsquo;s security cover withdrawn by Punjab police.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday accused the BJP-led Centre and the Delhi Police of conspiring to "kill" its supremo Arvind Kejriwal and urged the Election Commission to restore his security cover provided by the Punjab Police that was withdrawn.
There was no immediate reaction from the BJP or the Delhi Police to the allegation.
Addressing a press conference here, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and her Punjab counterpart, Bhagwant Mann, said they have written to the EC demanding "fair grounds" to the AAP in the February 5 Delhi Assembly polls and the restoration of Kejriwal's security cover given by the Punjab Police, along with an audit of "life-threatening" attacks on him.
They alleged that the Delhi Police, which comes under the Centre, has turned a blind eye on the alleged attacks on Kejriwal in accordance with Union Home Minister Amit Shah's order.
"There are two players involved in this conspiracy to kill Kejriwalji -- the BJP and the Delhi Police. They are both conspiring to end Kejriwal's life. Attacks have been attempted on him one after the other. In October (last year), an attack was made on Kejriwal. Upon investigation by us, it was found that the attackers were BJP workers, but police took no action," Atishi alleged.
"We have written to the EC demanding that Kejriwal's security be restored. We do not trust the Delhi Police as it is under Amit Shah's control," she added.
The AAP leaders alleged that resorting to "dirty politics" ahead of the Delhi polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has conspired to get Kejriwal's security removed.

Delhi CM Atishi has written a letter to the Election Officer, alleging that Delhi Police is trying to close a case against BJP workers who allegedly intimidated AAP volunteers.

Delhi CM Atishi accuses Delhi Police of intimidating AAP workers, demands officer transfers

Delhi CM Atishi has written a letter to the Election Officer, alleging that Delhi Police is trying to close a case against BJP workers who allegedly intimidated AAP volunteers.

Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Atishi has written a letter to the Election Officer of Delhi, accusing the Delhi Police of attempting to close the investigation into an incident where BJP workers allegedly intimidated AAP volunteers on January 21 and 22.&nbsp;
Atishi requested the transfer of the police officers involved, citing their attempts to pressure AAP volunteers into making false statements.
In her letter, Atishi explained that she had filed complaints regarding the intimidation on January 21 and 22. She attached both complaints to her letter, highlighting that on January 21, she received a notice under Section 94 BNSS from the SHO of Govindpuri concerning her complaint.&nbsp;
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6791f0b7a0bbe_1737617591.png" width="430" height="577">
However, instead of investigating, she claims that police officers began pressuring AAP volunteers to retract their statements.
&ldquo;Atishi&rsquo;s letter further detailed the actions of the police officers, including SHO Dharamveer, Inspector Sushil Sharma, and Constable Jai Bhagwan, who reportedly tried to coerce volunteers into signing false statements that claimed no intimidation or violence had occurred. These officers allegedly met with volunteers such as Vijeta, Rekha Bassi, and Deepa Deol, dictated false statements to them, and then pressured them to sign," the letter said.
The Chief Minister also highlighted that her volunteers were willing to give statements in the presence of their legal representatives, but they were being forced to sign incomplete and false documents.&nbsp;
When the volunteers refused, the police allegedly tore up their objections. Atishi expressed concerns over the collusion of the local police officers and called for their immediate transfer, specifically requesting that SHO Dharamveer, Inspector Sushil Sharma, and Constable Jai Bhagwan be reassigned out of the area.
Earlier this week, Atishi had also called for the deployment of paramilitary forces in Kalkaji to ensure the safety of voters and party workers as the Delhi Assembly elections draw near. The elections are set for February 5, with the vote counting scheduled for February 8, amid escalating tensions between the AAP and BJP.

As the Delhi assembly elections approach, AAP MP Sanjay Singh ridiculed BJP by releasing a blank book titled 'Achievements of BJP in Delhi'. Singh criticized BJP’s unfulfilled promises and accused its leaders of hypocrisy on patriotism.

AAP criticizes BJP’s unfulfilled promises with satirical book 'Achievements of BJP in Delhi'

As the Delhi assembly elections approach, AAP MP Sanjay Singh ridiculed BJP by releasing a blank book titled 'Achievements of BJP in Delhi'. Singh criticized BJP&rsquo;s unfulfilled promises and accused its leaders of hypocrisy on patriotism.

The political battle in Delhi continues to escalate between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).&nbsp;
In a new development, AAP MP Sanjay Singh on Monday mocked the BJP by releasing a book titled 'Achievements of BJP in Delhi' with entirely blank pages. Singh unveiled the book at a press conference, claiming it symbolized the BJP&rsquo;s failure to deliver on its promises.
Explaining the rationale behind the move, Singh remarked that the BJP would not voluntarily talk about their achievements, so AAP decided to showcase it for them.&nbsp;
Taking a swipe at the BJP-led Central government, Singh stated that the book contained everything about the unfulfilled promises made by BJP, including commitments on providing permanent housing, doubling minimum support prices (MSPs) for farmers, strengthening the rupee, and ensuring border security.
&ldquo;Modi ji had made many promises after becoming the Prime Minister. He had said that by 15th August 2022, everyone will get a permanent house, farmers will get MSP, the rupee will be strengthened, the border will be protected... Regarding Delhi, he had said that permanent registry will be given to those living in slums. The BJP people could not tell what achievements have been made in those promises, we are releasing those achievements,&rdquo; Singh said.
He further added, &ldquo;We are releasing a book to tell what achievements the BJP has made as they are not ready to tell about it... Everything is written in this book, whether it&rsquo;s about getting Rs 15 lakhs in your account, permanent houses, lowering petrol prices to Rs 40, increasing the MSPs for farmers...&rdquo;
Sanjay Singh also criticized BJP leader Anurag Thakur, accusing him of lacking the moral authority to lecture on patriotism. He alleged that BJP leaders had historically supported divisive forces and made questionable decisions.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Those who bow their heads at Jinnah&rsquo;s grave should not talk about patriotism. BJP&rsquo;s forefathers had supported the British in the freedom movement, formed the government with those with Muslim League... they formed government with party who supported Afzal Guru... Will Anurag Thakur, a gunman type leader, teach us patriotism? Do we need to hear about patriotism from Modi who called the ISI and got Pathankot investigated? Narendra Modi is the first Prime Minister who invited the Prime Minister of Pakistan in his oath ceremony,&rdquo; Singh charged.
In a surprising turn, Singh also commented on AAP&rsquo;s ally in the INDIA bloc, the Congress party, dismissing their role in the upcoming Delhi assembly elections. Despite the two parties working together in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, they will contest the Delhi elections separately.&nbsp;
Singh remarked, &ldquo;Congress party is not a player in Delhi elections. They make allegations every day. Focus on your election and wait for the result.&rdquo;
The stage is set for a three-way contest in Delhi among AAP, BJP, and Congress. Voting will take place on February 5, with results to be announced on February 8.

Amritpal Singh, the MP from Khadoor Sahib, has filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court requesting permission to attend the Parliament session and participate in Republic Day celebrations.

Amritpal Singh requests High Court approval to attend Parliament sessions

Amritpal Singh, the MP from Khadoor Sahib, has filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court requesting permission to attend the Parliament session and participate in Republic Day celebrations.

Amritpal Singh, the Member of Parliament (MP) representing Khadoor Sahib in Punjab, who is currently imprisoned in Dibrugarh jail in Assam under the National Security Act (NSA), has moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court with a petition.&nbsp;
He is requesting permission to attend the ongoing Parliament session and participate in the Republic Day celebrations on January 26.
In his petition, Singh has argued that his extended absence is preventing the voice of his 19 lakh constituents from being heard in Parliament. He has also claimed that his detention is politically motivated, designed to stifle his growing popularity.&nbsp;
Singh's detention order was first issued in March 2023 by the Deputy Magistrate of Amritsar and has since been extended on multiple occasions. A new detention order for March 2024 was issued citing social media activity and alleged contraband found in the jail as justifications. Singh, however, has labelled these reasons as weak and unconstitutional.
The Khadoor Sahib MP further argues that his detention infringes upon his constitutional rights and deprives his constituents of proper representation. As part of his legal challenge, he has requested the court to grant him interim release and make a swift decision on the matter.
On January 9, Singh's father, Tarsem Singh, voiced his concerns regarding the imposition of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) against his son, accusing the government of conspiring to prevent the jailed MP&rsquo;s family from launching a political party.&nbsp;
In an interview with ANI, he stated, "Now when the imposition of NSA on him comes to an end, they already imposed UAPA. Now when we are planning to launch a political party, it is a conspiracy to stop us. Bhagwant Mann's anti-Sikh mindset is being exposed. Without any proof or investigation, such things are being done to defame Amritpal."&nbsp;
The Faridkot Police Superintendent confirmed that UAPA charges had indeed been invoked against Singh.

Rahul Gandhi Calls for Unified Approach to Combat Air Pollution

Rahul Gandhi raised concerns over rising air pollution in major Indian cities, calling for a solution-focused discussion in the Lok Sabha. The government expressed readiness for a debate.

Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday raised the issue of air pollution in major cities of the country and sought a discussion on it in the Lok Sabha.&nbsp;
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Gandhi said the discussion on the issue can be framed in an interesting manner where the opposition and the government do not trade abuses at each other, but find a solution to the problem.
"This is not an ideological issue. Everybody in this House would agree that air pollution, the damage it is doing to our people, is something that we would like to cooperate on," Gandhi said.&nbsp;
The Congress leader said the prime minister can then put in place a plan to deal with the issue of air pollution.&nbsp;
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the government was ready for a discussion on the issue and the Business Advisory Committee of the Lok Sabha can allot time for the same.&nbsp;
"Most of our major cities are living under a blanket of poisonous air. Millions of children are getting lung disease. Their future is being destroyed. People are getting cancer. Older people are struggling to breathe," Gandhi said.&nbsp;

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed he challenged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss his press conferences on “vote chori” in Parliament, but received no response, calling Shah’s replies panicked and defensive.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said he directly challenged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss his press conferences on "vote chori" in Parliament but did not get any answer.
A day after the Lok Sabha witnessed a heated exchange between him and Shah during a debate on election reforms, Gandhi claimed that Shah appeared to be "under pressure".
"He (Shah) used the wrong language, his hands were shaking, you would have seen all this. He is under pressure mentally that was witnessed in Parliament, the whole country saw it," the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha told reporters in the Parliament House complex.

"The things I have said, he did not address, did not give any proof. We have said it publicly in press conferences. I directly challenged him to let us discuss my press conferences in Parliament. Did not get an answer. You know the reality," Gandhi said.
Gandhi on Wednesday called the home minister's response during the debate "completely defensive" and asserted that "vote chori" is the "biggest treason".
He also claimed that the home minister did not respond to any of the points raised by him and remained evasive including on transparent voter lists, EVMs and granting immunity to the chief election commissioner.
The opposition MPs, including Gandhi, staged a walkout in the Lok Sabha during the debate on electoral reforms.
Later in a post on X, Gandhi said the home minister's response in Parliament on "vote theft" was "panicked" and "defensive".&nbsp;

Eight students injured in hostel building fire in Kota

The cause of the fire is reported to be a short circuit in an electric transformer installed on the ground floor of the five-storey hostel building.

A massive fire broke out on Sunday morning in a boys' hostel building injuring eight students here with preliminary reports suggesting that the short circuit led to the blaze, police said.
The incident happened at around 6.15 am in Landmark City under Kunhari police station, Superintendent of Police (SP) Kota City Amrita Duhan said.
According to an initial investigation, a short circuit in an electric transformer installed on the ground floor of the five-storey hostel building led to the fire, the police said. The forensic team, however, is trying to ascertain the exact reason for the incident.
Rakesh Vyas, a fire officer at Kota Municipal Corporation, said the hostel building was not equipped with fire safety measures and did not have a fire NOC. He added that it was alarming that the transformer was installed inside the hostel building.
The police said the six injured students, including one who sustained severe burns, are receiving primary medical treatment at Maharao Bheem Singh (MBS) Hospital here.
One student, who suffered a fracture in his leg after he along with 14 others jumped from the building's first floor to escape the fire, is being treated at a private hospital, they added.
Bhavishya, a NEET aspirant from Bihar's Chindwara who lived in the building, was also injured in the incident. He said he was woken up by a loud noise at around 6.15 am and when he came out of his room, he found thick smoke everywhere.
He said the students decided to jump from the first floor as the staircase was filled with smoke and there was no other way out of the building.
The building had 75 rooms of which 61 were occupied, SP Duhan said.
She added that fire tenders rushed to the spot in time and doused the fire before it could spread to the upper floors.
All the students have been rescued from the building, circle inspector at Kunhari police station Arvind Bhardwaj said.
The parents of the students are being contacted to assure them that their wards are safe, he added.
Bhardwaj said that as most students couldn't carry their mobile phones while they were being rescued, a helpdesk is also being set up for the students and their parents.
The matter is being investigated, the CI said.&nbsp;

CBI creates e-mail ID for land-grab victims in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali

Sandeshkhali victims can lodge their complaints at sandeshkhali@cbi.gov.in.&nbsp;

The CBI has created a dedicated e-mail ID -- sandeshkhali@cbi.gov.in -- on which victims of land grab in Sandeshkhali, a village in West Bengal, can get their complaints lodged, officials said on Thursday.
The agency has created the e-mail ID in compliance with the orders of the Calcutta High Court passed on Wednesday.
"The District Magistrate, North 24 Parganas has also been requested to give adequate publicity of the said e-mail ID in the locality and also issue a public notice in the vernacular dailies having a wide circulation in the areas as per the Hon'ble High Court's order," a CBI spokesperson said in a statement.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will start registering cases on the basis of the complaints received by it, sources said.
The high court on Wednesday ordered a court-monitored CBI probe into allegations of crimes against women and land grabbing in Sandeshkhali, saying an "impartial inquiry" is required in the interest of justice and fair play.
The court also directed the CBI to file a comprehensive report on the alleged illegal conversion of agricultural land into water bodies for pisciculture, after conducting a thorough inspection of the revenue records and a physical inspection of the land alleged to have been converted.
The court asked the central agency to submit a comprehensive report to it on the next date of hearing on May 2.
The state government was directed to provide the required support to the CBI.
The agency is already probing three cases related to attacks on Enforcement Directorate officials at Sandeshkhali allegedly by a mob instigated by Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shahjahan Sheikh.

West Bengal Police on Tuesday issued summons to the NIA officer who was injured in the alleged attack during the central probe agency's raid in Purba Medinipur district last week, to appear before the investigating officer of the Bhupatinagar police station on April 11, an official said.
The Bhupatinagar police station investigating officer has also asked the NIA to bring the vehicle which was damaged allegedly during the attack on Saturday, stating that they want to conduct a forensic test of it, he said.
The police officer has also summoned three villagers from Bhupatinagar for questioning in connection to the attack on NIA officers when they went to arrest the two main conspirators in connection with a blast that took place in 2022 at Bhupatinagar in Purba Medinipur district in which three persons were killed.
"The NIA officer has been asked to appear before our officer on April 11. We have also asked them to send the vehicle which was damaged during the attack. We plan to conduct a forensic test on it," he told PTI.
The villagers have been asked to appear in two to three days, the officer said.
A team of the NIA was allegedly attacked by a mob on Saturday when it went to arrest two main suspects in the 2022 blast case in West Bengal's Purba Medinipur district, sparking a political slugfest with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accusing the investigators of assaulting villagers.
One NIA officer was injured and a vehicle was damaged in the attack on Saturday.
The attack on the NIA team happened around three months after villagers and locals assaulted a team of Enforcement Department (ED) officers when they went to raid the residence of, now arrested TMC leader Shajahan Sheikh on January 5 in connection with the alleged ration scam.
