The table is set for a lavish state dinner for US President Donald Trump and the delegation accompanying him at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Reports say the menu on offer will represent culinary fusion, a taste of India, but with the American palate in mind. President Trump is known for his love for meatloaf, steak with ketchup, even McDonald&rsquo;s burgers. Since beef is out of the question, Rashtrapati Bhavan chefs are offering him an alternative: raan ali-shan - goat legs marinated for 12 hours and grilled. Wild Atlantic salmon will be on the plate but as fish tikkas. Dal Raisina, a signature dish of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, will also be served. Around 100 guests, including the US President&rsquo;s entourage, will sit for the lavish dinner. Of these, about 85-88 people will be from the Indian side.

Supreme Court judge Deepak Gupta has said if attempts are made to quell dissent, then it will have a chilling effect on democracy, as 'governments are not always right' and that opposing government can't be labelled as anti-national.

He said there have been many recent incidents where people have been called anti-national because they dissented from the government.

A policeman and 2 civilians were killed as clashes continued in parts of northeast Delhi for the second straight day on Monday.

The clashes had erupted on Saturday near a protest site of women dissenters in Jafarabad but on Sunday the violence spread to many adjoining areas.

Mishra&rsquo;s reply comes a day after he led a pro-CAA protest in Maujpur&nbsp;area of northeast Delhi, shortly after which&nbsp;violence broke out&nbsp;in the area.&nbsp;However, Mishra reiterated his demand asking the police to remove anti-CAA protesters blocking the road in Jaffrabad and Chand Bagh.

US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will aim to expand India-US global partnership in their extensive talks on Tuesday. On Monday in an address at a massive &lsquo;Namaste Trump&rsquo; rally at Motera stadium in Ahmedabad, the US president announced that deals to sell state-of-the-art military helicopters and other equipment worth over 3 billion USD will be sealed on Tuesday. Talks between Modi and Trump are likely to send across a clear message of growing congruence of interests between India and the US on major geopolitical developments in the region and beyond, particularly when China has been expanding its military and economic clout.&nbsp;However, the talks between the two leaders are unlikely to produce tangible outcome in resolving thorny issues like trade tariffs.&nbsp;

On Monday, most schools in Srinagar were buzzing with students and parents were seen accompanying students to their schools.

As US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania touched down in Ahmedabad, it seems the meme folk of the internet were watching their every move like hawks.

&nbsp;

Tomorrow we will sign a three billion dollar defence deal. We want India to become our premier defence partner."

"I express my profound gratitude to an exceptional leader, a great champion of India, a man who works night and day for his country and a man whom I'm proud to call my true friend, Prime Minister Modi"
