New Delhi: Ruling NDA on Tuesday dealt a serious blow to Rahul Gandhi With the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs on the no-confidence motion against Speaker Om Birla Kieron Rijiju It is said that the opposition leader attacked the democratic system because he realized that he could not lead his party to win elections.Rijiju said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was a better choice to lead the Congress party and accused Rahul of openly seeking foreign intervention to counter alleged threats to Indian democracy.The ruling alliance has sought to frame the no-confidence motion as another example of Rahul duping his Congress colleagues and other opposition figures into supporting his whims, with Rijiju claiming that at least 50 opposition MPs confided in him their misgivings about the move against Birla.Rahul’s antics damaged Pal’s dignity: RijijuThe NDA Speaker continued his attacks even as members of the India Group defended the move against the Speaker and accused him of gagging the opposition at the behest of the government. DMK’s TR Baalu called him a “gentleman” for suspending so many opposition MPs, while TMC’s Mahua Moitra termed the motion as divine retribution for the Speaker’s “wrong” expulsion of her in 2023. His karma had caught up with him, she said. Arvind Sawant of the Shiv Sena (UBT) said Birla was under pressure to go against the opposition.Rijiju accused Rahul of undermining the dignity of the Assembly by his “antics”. He tried to forcefully hug the Prime Minister. “What kind of LoP is this?” the minister asked.Other speakers on the finance minister’s bench, including JDU’s Rajiv Ranjan, Shiv Sena’s Shrikant Shinde and TDP’s Lavu Srikrishna Devarayalu, highlighted Rahul’s frequent absence from important debates in the House and accused him of undermining the national interest by questioning the sacrifices of the armed forces. Shinde called him a “holiday leader, not an opposition leader.” NDA MPs praised Birla for providing opportunities to first-time MPs and helping the Lok Sabha achieve record productivity during his tenure.Rijiju claimed that the opposition was upset over the motion against the Speaker, while the TMC reversed its earlier stand after the Congress was keen on seeking the ouster of CEC Gyanesh Kumar, who had angered West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for conducting an electoral roll SIR in the state.He said Priyanka Gandhi was a better choice to lead the Congress, leading to protests by Congress members. Rijiju also contrasted the Congress party’s attitude towards the Speaker, saying the opposition chose not to move a no-confidence motion against then Speaker Somnath Chatterjee even though he blocked the telecast of the session in 2008, when the Congress party had secured a majority through bribery.The MP interrupted the minister when he mentioned the PPP’s meeting with the Chinese ambassador in 2017 when the two armies were locked in a tense standoff in Doklam.Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh said the opposition has been mercilessly disrupting the functioning of the House, ignoring the fact that it costs Rs 19 crore for every hour it sits and Rs 9 crore for every day it meets. “These people don’t let it run, their money is being wasted, it’s taxpayers’ money they’re wasting,” JDU neta said.Referring to Speaker Mahua Moitra’s remarks of silencing the opposition voices, Lalan Singh said it was the then Speaker Somnath Chatterjee who did not allow Mamata to speak when she was the only MP from her party. Mamata was part of the NDA at that time, but the saffron alliance did not move any no-confidence motion against the Speaker.

SC sets up judicial tribunal to hear Bangladesh SIR appeal
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday, exercising its exclusive powers under Article 142, ordered the setting up of a tribunal comprising retired chief justices and former judges of Kolkata and adjoining district courts to decide appeals against judicial officers’ orders rejecting the demand for inclusion in the Bengal electorate list after special intensive revision.CJI Surya Kant and Justices R Mahadevan and Joymalya Bagchi stood by their order that no bureaucrat serving as an ERO can appeal against the judicial officer’s verdict of scanning 60-lakh voter files for “logical discrepancies” and “unmapped” categories.California HC CJ Nominated Former CJ, Judge: SC The SC allowed the Kolkata HC chief justice to nominate the former chief justice and judges and directed the EC to inform the tribunal after consulting with the HC chief justice and retired chief judge.Taking exception to numerous petitions filed by TMC supporters and private persons related to the SIR working and process, the CJI-led bench dismissed the petitions and warned of contempt action if such attempts were made in future.The SC was unhappy with the EC’s delay in creating secure identity cards for judicial officers and said: “We have reached a stage where we have doubts about the sincerity of the state governments and the EC.” It asked the EC to ensure immediate creation of identity cards for judicial officers so that they can work immediately.The CJI said the Kolkata HC CJ had informed the SC that more than 500 judicial officers from Bengal and 200 judicial officers from Jharkhand and Odisha were working seven days a week and processing over 10 lakh claims.At the beginning of the hearing, senior advocate Menaka Guruswamy sought to press for the application without providing an appeal forum for those voters whose claims have been dismissed by judicial officers. The SC said, “As CJI, I will not allow anyone to dare to question the work of judicial officers. I issue a warning.”Advocate Kalyan Banerjee expressed dissatisfaction and said when the claim of 10 lakh has already been decided, why did the Election Commission not follow the SC’s instructions and issue a supplementary voters’ list containing the names of those whose claims had been accepted?Banerjee also said rejection of claims must be accompanied by reasons to enable the victim to appeal in a designated forum. The bench told the state government and the Election Commission to facilitate the smooth performance of work by judicial officers acting as agents of the SC.“We have taken a big risk by allocating the work of SIR to judicial officers who work tirelessly. But the risk is worth it as it (preparation of electoral list) is very important for free and fair elections. The Constitution provides that citizens have the right to be included in the electoral list but intruders and illegal immigrants have no right,” the CJI said.
The Middle East war enters its 12th day, Tehran rules out ceasefire, and the United States and Israel launch the “most violent attack” on Iran
The war between the United States, Israel and Iran entered its 12th day on Wednesday with no signs of easing, with U.S. and Israeli forces launching what officials said were their heaviest strikes yet against Iranian targets as the conflict spread across the region. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday that the United States would launch its largest attack since the war began, deploying more aircraft, bombers and intelligence-guided attacks on Iran’s military infrastructure. Iran’s military capabilities have been hit hard by days of bombing, and Iran has vowed to keep fighting. Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf rejected the possibility of a ceasefire, saying Tehran intended to punish Washington and Tel Aviv for alleged aggression. Another senior Iranian figure, Ali Larijani, issued a warning to US President Trump on social media, saying that Iran is not afraid of US threats. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the broader goal of the war is to weaken Iran’s leadership so popular forces can overthrow the government. “We are breaking their bones,” Netanyahu said of the ongoing campaign.
Strike expands to entire region
Fighting has spread far beyond Iran’s borders, with new attacks reported across Lebanon and Iraq. Israeli airstrikes killed at least seven people in southern Lebanon early Wednesday, including five in the town of Qana, the Lebanese Health Ministry said. Additional airstrikes in the Tire and Bint Jubail areas also caused casualties. The Israeli army also launched attacks on Hezbollah-related infrastructure in Beirut’s southern suburbs after issuing evacuation warnings for densely populated areas. Drones struck military installations at Baghdad International Airport on Tuesday night, according to Iraqi security officials. The drones landed near facilities used by the U.S.-led coalition, including the U.S.-run Victoria base, but no casualties were reported.
Tehran comes under heavy bombing
Tehran residents reported some of the “heaviest bombing” of the war during the night, with powerful explosions shaking communities and causing power outages in parts of the capital. Witnesses said the strike lasted for a long time around midnight, and some residents said residential buildings were attacked. According to the Associated Press, many businesses in Tehran closed early out of fear of further attacks. Tens of thousands of civilians have reportedly fled large cities and sought refuge in rural areas.
US targets Iranian naval assets
The U.S. military said it had destroyed 16 Iranian minelayers near the strategic Strait of Hormuz amid concerns that Tehran might try to block the vital waterway. About a fifth of the world’s oil supplies pass through the waterway, which has become a focus of conflict. President Trump has warned that if Iran deploys mines in the Strait, they must be removed immediately or face serious military consequences.“If Iran has laid any mines in the Strait of Hormuz and we have received no reports that they have done so, we want them removed immediately! If for any reason a mine is placed and not removed immediately, the military consequences for Iran will be unprecedented. On the other hand, it would be a big step in the right direction if they removed what may have been put in place! Additionally, we are using the same technology and missile capabilities deployed against drug traffickers to permanently eliminate any vessel attempting to mine mines in the Strait of Hormuz. They will be dealt with swiftly and violently. Be careful! ” he said.
140 US service members injured
The Pentagon said about 140 U.S. service members have been injured since the conflict began, but most of the injuries were minor. Eight soldiers were reportedly seriously injured, several of whom have since returned to duty. Civilian and military casualties have also increased in the area. In Lebanon alone, hundreds of people have been killed and more than a thousand injured since the latest round of fighting began, authorities said.
Market and Global Concerns
Despite the escalating conflict, financial markets showed relative stability on Tuesday after days of volatility triggered by uncertainty over how long the war might last. The S&P 500 edged lower, while oil prices stabilized after plunging to around $90 a barrel from nearly $120 earlier in the week. Global leaders are paying close attention to the economic consequences of the conflict. G7 leaders are expected to hold emergency talks on energy security and potential measures to stabilize oil markets. Concerns are growing that the conflict could further destabilize the Middle East and disrupt global energy supplies, as both sides refuse to negotiate and step up military operations.

Om Birla’s partisan act, LoP cut off 20 times: Gaurav Gogoi
New Delhi: The Lok Sabha on Tuesday took up the opposition’s resolution to remove Speaker Om Birla, amid a heated debate in the House over who should chair the session. At the start of the debate, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi accused Birla of partisan behaviour. He said the Speaker had made “baseless” accusations against women opposition lawmakers and had repeatedly prevented Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi from raising “critical issues” in the House. AIMIM leaders after MP Mohammad Jawed read out the notice seeking to move the resolution Asaduddin Owaisi A point of order was raised questioning the decision to allow the BJP’s Jagdambika Pal to chair the proceedings as he was appointed by Birla as a chairperson panel member. Congress and TMC MPs also said that Pal was not elected by the House and stressed that the post of Deputy Speaker has remained vacant for the past seven years.Microphones used to silence MPs: GogoiCongress and TMC MPs also said that Pal was not elected by the House and stressed that the post of Deputy Speaker has been vacant for seven years.While TMC MP Saugata Roy said Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju should move a motion to appoint a presiding officer specifically for the purpose, Rijiju said Owaisi’s claim was irrelevant as Pal was capable of presiding over the LS proceedings when the resolution was being considered.Pal then put the notice of motion for resolution to a vote and asked at least 50 MPs to stand in support. The notice was then accepted and Javed read out the resolution which was allowed to be discussed.When Rahul had to speak on the motion of thanks for the President’s address, Gaurav Gogoi raised questions about the way Birla was presiding over the House. “There is an expectation that the chairman will remain neutral. But a study of the uncorrected version will show how many times the LoP was interrupted. When the LoP stood up, another member was called,” Gogoi added.“Is this a parliamentary tradition that we want to show? Microphones are being used to silence the voices of MPs. This is in direct contradiction to the rituals of the House,” Gogoi said, pointing out how Shasshi Tharoor’s microphone was allegedly switched off midway through his speech on February 9.“When a member of Parliament wanted to speak on the motion of thanks, he was premeditatedly interrupted 20 times by the Speaker, members of the Chairman’s Group and senior members of the Treasury…” he said.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a plea filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) challenging a Karnataka high court order that held that Kambala and bullfighting competitions in Karnataka cannot be restricted to the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi. The appellant sought to challenge this.A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta refused to interfere with the HC order and raised the question why bullfighting competitions should be restricted to certain areas. “They want to showcase the culture of different parts of the state; what’s the problem? Let people in other parts of the state also become familiar with the culture. Why limit it to only certain areas?” it said.It was argued that other places had no traditional or cultural links to the sport and that the events were held purely for commercial reasons, but this request was dismissed.
