Dec 17, 2024 11:32 AM IST PM Modi remembered Indian soldiers for their decisive defeat of Pakistan on December 16, 1971, and did not mention Bangaldesh, created as a result of the war. Bangladeshi politicians, including members of the Muhammad Yunus-led caretaker administration, on Monday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not mentioning their country in his social media post on Vijay Diwas (Victory Day). Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also address a public meeting today. (PTI) This comes amid unprecedented tensions between the neighbours over attacks on the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh. India has repeatedly raised the issue with the Yunus-led interim government. On the other hand, Bangladesh has objected to the presence in India of its ex-prime minister Sheikh Hasina, daughter of its Founding Father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Sheikh Hasina has been in India since August 5, the day her government collapsed following months of student protests. Hasina’s forced departure was followed by attacks on the Hindu community. What is Vijay Diwas? On December 16, 1971, Pakistani soldiers surrendered to the Indian …

TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee rejects EVM tampering allegations, urges ally Congress to show evidence – India TV

Image Source : PTI Abhishek Banerjee Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee has distanced the party from the debate on the reliability of EVMs fuelled by the Congress. The recent walks of Congress regarding EVMs have become more frequent especially after the party suffered losses in Assembly elections in Haryana and Maharashtra. The party has been questioning the credibility of these election machines as tampered and targeted manipulations in the election process. Banerjee dismissed the allegations as baseless and asked the so-called complainants to present evidence to the Election Commission. Banerjee called the claims of EVM tampering “random statements” and stated that those questioning the machines should demonstrate how they could be hacked. “If there are concerns about the EVMs, they should show a demonstration to the Election Commission,” Banerjee said. He further explained that if proper procedures are followed during EVM randomisation, mock polls, and the counting process, there is no room for allegations of tampering. He emphasized that booth workers are thoroughly involved in verifying the EVMs, which ensures the credibility of the process. …

France President Macron names centrist ally Francois Bayrou as country’s new Prime Minister – India TV

Image Source : AP France’s new Prime Minister Francois Bayrou. In a significant development, French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed centrist ally Francois Bayrou as the new Prime Minister in a bid to resolve the country’s political turmoil following last week’s parliamentary vote that ousted the previous government. 73-year-old Bayrou is a veteran figure in French politics and a key partner in Macron’s centrist alliance.

Meanwhile, Bayrou is expected to hold talks with political leaders from various parties in the coming days in order to choose new ministers. However, he faces a daunting task as Macron’s centrist alliance lacks a parliamentary …

How Congress put under-fire ally National Conference in a tight spot over resolution on J&K special status | Political Pulse News

The National Conference (NC)-led government’s resolution on the restoration of the Union Territory’s special status was already facing criticism from other regional parties. Now, ally Congress’s remarks on the issue have put it in a tight spot and given more ammunition to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the People’s Conference (PC) that have criticised the Omar Abdullah-led administration for moving an “ambiguous” resolution on the matter. “As far as the (Article) 370 resolution is concerned, there is no mention of the provision in it. Secondly, it is understood that after the Supreme Court verdict, the only thing that remains to be granted is statehood. Our stand on the issue is clear. How someone presents it, is their choice,” J&K Congress president Tariq Hameed Karra said on Friday. The resolution, passed in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly amid protests by BJP MLAs on November 7, came under attack from the PDP and the People’s Conference that alleged it “did not clearly and unequivocally” condemn the events of August 5, 2019, or reject the Centre’s decision …

Trump ally Steve Bannon blasts ‘lawfare’ as he faces New York trial after federal prison stint

NEW YORK — After spending four months in federal prison for snubbing a congressional subpoena, conservative strategist Steve Bannon had a message Tuesday for prosecutors in cases against him and President-elect Donald Trump. Trump ally Steve Bannon blasts ‘lawfare’ as he faces New York trial after federal prison stint “You wait. The hunted are about to become the hunters,” Bannon said outside a New York court where he’s now facing a state conspiracy trial as soon as next month. He stepped into a waiting car without elaborating on what “the hunters” intend to do. The longtime Trump ally’s latest trial is set to start Dec. 9 — but could be postponed after a hearing Monday — at the same Manhattan courthouse where the past-and-next president was convicted in his hush money case. Separately, a judge Tuesday delayed a key ruling in the hush money case for at least a week as prosecutors ponder how to proceed in light of Trump’s impending presidency. Bannon cast Trump’s election win as a “verdict on all this lawfare.” Voters, …
