Meenakshi Natarajan Row And Congress' Article 324 Demand. What It Is
Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha nomination was rejected for nondisclosure of a pending court case. The party is urging the Election Commission (EC) to use its powers under Article 324 to overturn the Returning Officer's decision, arguing that the alleged omission does not warrant disqualification. The EC has the power to oversee elections and ensure free and fair processes, but experts question whether this provision can override specific legal provisions or be used as a substitute for existing remedies like Election Petitions. The EC is currently examining the Congress' representation and seeking the Returning Officer's report before making a decision.

West Bengal election: Why politicians are campaigning with fish in hand

The ruling Trinamool Congress accuses the BJP of trying to restrict fish consumption, while the BJP claims that the Trinamool Congress has failed to provide Bengal with enough fish. Both parties are using fish as a way to appeal to voters' cultural identities and anxieties about food security.

Who is really safe in India and Israel? | Narendra Modi
Narendra Modi and Benjamin Netanyahu shared a warm embrace upon their meeting in Israel, signifying the deepening partnership between the two nations. While both leaders claim to offer sanctuary for their respective religious groups, the article highlights persistent hierarchies and exclusion within both countries. The Israeli prime minister's wife wore saffron, a symbol of Hindutva, while the article points out that racial discrimination against Mizrahi Jews and Ethiopian Jews exists in Israel and caste-based discrimination is prevalent in India. These realities demonstrate that neither country guarantees safety for all its citizens.

Allahabad HC quashes forgery case against shooter Vartika Singh
The Allahabad High Court ruled to dismiss criminal proceedings against international shooter Vartika Singh, who was accused of preparing forged documents at the behest of a Union Cabinet Minister. The court found no evidence of cheating against Ms. Singh and noted that the documents were provided for investigation but no action was taken to identify the document preparer. The case stemmed from an incident in 2020 where Rajneesh Singh, claiming proximity to then-Union Minister Smriti Irani, allegedly promised Ms. Singh a position on the National Commission for Women and demanded ₹25 lakh after she refused payment.
