Odisha train crash: Rahul Gandhi in USA says BJP will blame what Congress did '50 yrs ago'

Gandhi and members of the Indian diaspora observed a 60-second silence in memory of those who died in the Odisha triple train crash tragedy.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke about the recent Odisha train crash at an event in the United States of America.
At the event in New York on June 4, 2023, Gandhi and members of the Indian diaspora observed a 60-second silence in memory of those who died in the tragedy.
Gandhi said, "I remember a train accident when the Congress party was in power. Congress did not get up and say it is the fault of the British that the train crashed. The Congress minister said it is my responsibility that the train crashed, I'm resigning."
"If you ask them why the train accident occurred, they'll say that 50 years ago, Congress did something," the Congress leader added.
He further said, " That is the phenomenon of Narendra Modi. He is trying to drive the Indian car, and he only looks in the rearview mirror. And then he does not understand why this car is crashing, not moving forward."

"Down-line restoration complete. First train movement in section," tweeted Ashwini Vaishnaw.

His lawyer Shivam Gaur had earlier also withdrawn from the cases.
"I and my family (wife Kiran Singh and niece Rakhi Singh) are withdrawing from all Gyanvapi-related cases that we had filed in the interest of the country and religion in various courts," Visen, who heads the Vishwa Vedic Sanatan Sangh, said in a statement issued on Saturday.

"In such a situation, due to limited strength and resources, I cannot fight this battle for 'dharma' anymore and that's why I am leaving this.

Authorities had declined to renew Mehbooba's passport since 2019 citing "adverse" police report

Former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti issued passport after three years

PDP president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti has been issued a regular passport with a validity of 10 years, after more than three years of legal battle.

Authorities had declined to renew Mehbooba's passport since 2019 citing "adverse" police report

PDP president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti has been issued a regular passport with a validity of 10 years, after more than three years of legal battle.
Authorities had declined to renew Mehbooba's passport since 2019 citing "adverse" police report, after which she moved the Delhi High Court. The high court, in an order in March this year, stated that the passport authority should decide within three months on issuing a fresh travel document to her.
The former chief minister got her new passport just days ahead of a hearing scheduled in the Jammu and Kashmir High Court this week on her daughter's plea for a regular travel document for herself.
In her plea in the Jammu and Kashmir HC, Mehbooba's daughter Iltija challenged the decision of the passport office to give her a country-specific passport with a limited validity of two years to facilitate her higher education. Iltija had refused to accept the conditional travel document and approached the high court with a plea for a regular passport for all countries and with a validity of 10 years.
The new passport given to Mehbooba, the last chief minister of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state before it was bifurcated in 2019, is valid from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2033.
After several rounds back-and-forth pleas in the Delhi High Court, Justice Pratibha M Singh had ordered in March this year that the passport authority should decide within three months on issuing a fresh travel document to Mehbooba.
"Considering that the matter is remanded back to the passport officer and the initial rejection was two years ago, let the passport officer concerned take a decision expeditiously and in any case within three months," the judge had noted in the order.
The court's order had come on a petition by Mehbooba seeking a direction to the passport authorities to take an early decision on her appeal regarding the issuance of a new passport.
In her plea to the Delhi High Court, the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said there was a considerable delay in issuing a new passport to her despite reminders and that no decision was being taken on her appeal.
In February this year, Mehbooba had sought the intervention of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for the issuance of the passport, saying she had been waiting for it for the past three years to take her 80-year-old mother on a pilgrimage to Mecca.
In March 2021, Mehbooba and her mother Gulshan Ara were denied passports after the Jammu and Kashmir Police had cited an "adverse report". Her mother had been issued a passport two months back.
National Conference president and former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah congratulated Mehbooba and hoped that now she would be able to fulfil her religious duties as desired by her.&nbsp;

Bihar bridge collapse: eyewitnesses say 'felt like a blast', allege 'corruption'

The bridge was supposed to connect Khagaria district with Bhagalpur, and had earlier suffered a cave-in in April 2022.

A day after an under-construction bridge collapsed in Bihar on June 4, 2023, eyewitnesses recounted their experience. The state government has claimed that some portions of the bridge had been brought down deliberately due to some design flaws.
One witness said to news agency ANI, "This shows corruption in government. Earlier, a similar incident had taken place. I feel that construction of the bridge will stretch beyond 2030 now."
Another witness said, "There was a very loud sound, like something had exploded. I don't know if people will ever be able to use this bridge. Don't know if duplicate material is being provided."
The bridge was supposed to connect Khagaria district with Bhagalpur.
"It may be recalled that a portion of this bridge had collapsed on April 30 last year. We had, thereafter, approached IIT-Roorkee, which is esteemed for its expertise in construction matters, to conduct a study. It is yet to come up with a final report but experts who had studied the structure had informed us that there were serious defects," Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav said at a press conference.
