'Indian Judiciary can't be influenced by foreign interference. India won't tolerate 'foreign influence' anymore because our Prime Minister is Shri Narendra Modi Ji,' the minister added.

The Pakistan government's official Twitter account has been withheld in India.
When anyone tries to access it, the website displays a message saying '@GovtofPakistan's account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand.'
This is reportedly the third time when Pakistan's Twitter account has been restricted in India.
Earlier in October 2022, the Twitter account of the Pakistan government was withheld in India. It was withheld earlier in July as well but had been reactivated and was visible. According to Twitter guidelines, the microblogging site takes such action in response to a valid legal demand, such as a court order.&nbsp;
In June last year, Twitter in India banned official accounts of Pakistan Embassies in the United Nations, Turkey, Iran and Egypt. In August, India blocked eight YouTube-based news channels, including one operating from Pakistan and one Facebook account for posting "fake, anti-India content" online.

The Saudi Arabian government, in October, announced that Mehram, a male blood relative with whom marriage is not permissible, is no longer required to accompany a women pilgrim from any part of the world.
The applications will be cleared on priority by the Ministry and Hajj travel pilgrims list will also likely be cleared by Friday, the sources added.
This is the first time that the Ministry of Minority Affairs has received such a large pool of applications from women above the age of 45 years who wish to perform the Hajj pilgrimage without any male guardian, as per ministry sources.

'No foreign diplomat...': what Jaishankar said on Rahul Gandhi disqualification row

'No foreign diplomat...': what Jaishankar said on Rahul Gandhi disqualification row

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday said no foreign diplomat has raised with him the issue of Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from the Lok Sabha, which was an outcome of a law "supported" by the Congress leader in the past.
Speaking at the Rising India Summit of Network18, S Jaishankar said Rahul Gandhi's disqualification as member of Lok Sabha happened as he refused to express regret about the disparaging remarks he made against a community at a public meeting four years ago.
"The law is the law, unless somebody thinks that the law is not for them," S Jaishankar said.
The minister replied in the negative to a question whether any of his diplomatic counterparts had raised the issue with him.
"Four years ago Rahul Gandhi was disparaging of a community in a public meeting. It is on public record. A member of that community took offense and began legal proceedings," S Jaishankar said, on how he would explain the issue to his counterparts abroad.
The external affairs minister said Mr Gandhi had an opportunity to rectify the situation by expressing regret, but chose not to do so.
"The legal process produced an outcome. The outcome triggered a law, which Rahul Gandhi had himself supported some years ago," he said referring to the verdict of a Gujarat court sentencing the Congress leader to a two-year jail term in a defamation case.
S Jaishankar said the law has been applied to 10-12 elected representatives, including of the ruling party.
As per Section 8(3) of the Representation of the Peoples Act, a person convicted of any offence and sentenced to imprisonment for not less than two years, shall be disqualified.
The disqualification, as per the Act, shall begin on the date of the conviction and continue for a period of six years after his release.
In Rahul Gandhi's case, unless the conviction is stayed by an appellate court, his disqualification will continue for a total of eight years - two years of imprisonment plus six post-release.
