Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said the Supreme Court has given importance to the points raised by the Congress and other Opposition parties on the Waqf (Amendment) Act and alleged that the government had raked the “Waqf by user” issue deliberately to create a dispute over such properties.

US Administration Urges Court To Allow Deportations Under Alternative Laws: Report

Washington: After the US Supreme Court temporarily barred the deportation of migrants, President Donald Trump’s administration has urged the top court to allow the use of alternative laws to remove a group of Venezuelan migrants detained in Texas, CNN reported. Following the Supreme Court’s order, the US Justice Department argued that the justices should deny the request to halt deportations under the controversial wartime authority provided by the Alien Enemies Act. The Justice Department further urged the Supreme Court to provide clarity that it may remove at least some of the same migrants under less controversial immigration laws. The Supreme Court’s order did not distinguish between deportations under the Alien Enemies Act and other laws, CNN reported. The court said, “The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this court.” Earlier, the White House said in a statement Saturday morning that “President Trump promised the American people to use all lawful measures to remove the threat of terrorist illegal aliens, …

Hours after a podcast featuring Raj Thackeray went viral online, the official X handle of the Shiv Sena (UBT) posted a video in which his cousin Uddhav Thackeray said he is willing to set aside minor disputes in the interests of Maharashtra. In a split-screen frame, the video shows Raj shaking hands with Uddhav outside the Thackeray residence, Matoshree. A file photo of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray with son Uddhav and nephew Raj Thackeray during the party’s ‘Nirdhar Baithak’ to strategise for the Maharashtra assembly elections, on July 3, 2003. The video represents the mood in both Uddhav’s Sena (UBT) and Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). Summed up, it is one of hope and scepticism. The cousins – who were both once key leaders of the Shiv Sena – have been bitter rivals for three decades. If they do reunite politically, it could mark another upheaval in Maharashtra politics, a state already roiled and fractured by the splits in both the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party in 2022 and 2023 respectively. …
