India came out strongly against the statement of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Jammu and Kashmir at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Tuesday. India said the OIC has no locus standi to comment on the Kashmir issue, accusing Pakistan of "misusing the forum".

This comes almost a week after India rejected Pakistan minister Shireen Mazari's criticism of the human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

One in five working women in India feels that her company has a 'favorable bias' towards the male counterparts, reveals LinkedIn's Opportunity Index&nbsp;2021 report. The study was conducted on&nbsp;10,000 people aged&nbsp;between 18-65 from across&nbsp;the Asia Pacific region.&nbsp;2,285 respondents were from India, out of which 1,223 were males and 1,053 females.&nbsp;The report brings to light the difference in opinion about the&nbsp;inequality in pay and opportunity available. While 37% of women feel that they get fewer opportunities than men, only 25% agree with it. Likewise, 37% of women feel they are paid less and in contrast, only 21% of men feel the same way. Almost 85% of women feel they have missed out on a salary raise, promotion, or work offer as opposed to the regional average of 60%. 89% of women feel that they have been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite these grim statistics, around 66% of people in India believe that gender equality has improved as compared to their parents' time.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It's Congress Vs Congress this election season. A day after senior Congress leader Anand Sharma slammed his party's alliance with ISF in Bengal as communal, party's state chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has hit back with vengeance at the so-called <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/congress-g-23-strikes-again-anand-sharma-questions-bengal-alliance-1614649631245" target="_blank" rel="noopener">G23</a>.
In a series of tweets titled #KnowYourFacts, Chowdhury urged the group to stop wasting time in praising PM Modi and help party fight polls in five states. He also said the Congress was a part of the CPM-led Left Front in Bengal, which was "determined to defeat BJP".
Calling the decision of the front "communal" would only play into the hands of the BJP, he commented. The BJP, of course, is loving the intra-party sparring in the Congress.
