Published by Parlour News

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders on Tuesday accused the main Opposition party Congress of “playing along” with the BJP, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government engaged swiftly with the Rahul Gandhi-led protest near his official residence even as it stonewalled Sonam Wangchuk and Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) agitations at Jantar Mantar for weeks.

3 min readNew DelhiMar 6, 2026 01:06 AM IST A day before AAP national president and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is scheduled to appear before the Delhi Assembly’s Committee of Privileges in the ‘Phansi Ghar’ case, party leaders on Thursday demanded live-streaming of the proceedings. Addressing a press conference on Thursday, senior party leader and former CM Atishi said, “If the BJP truly has the courage, it should broadcast the entire hearing that would expose that the government is far more focused on abusing Arvind Kejriwal than addressing pressing civic concerns such as electricity, water, roads, schools, and hospitals.” “The Privileges Committee of the Delhi Assembly has summoned former Arvind Kejriwal regarding the issue of the gallows. The committee has asked him to clarify whether a British-era gallows existed in the Delhi Assembly or not,” she said, questioning why the issue was being discussed at all. The Privileges Committee is examining the significance of a British-era phansi ghar, replicated inside the Delhi Assembly by the AAP government. The AAP has claimed that the …

Punjab court orders removal of ‘doctored’ Atishi video

Published by Parlour News

A political tussle between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) escalated further on Thursday after a Punjab court accepted a forensic report concerning a controversial video of Delhi Opposition Leader Atishi, with both parties trading a fresh round of accusations. AAP and BJP at loggerheads (HT photo) Thursday’s ruling from the court in Jalandhar prompted conflicting claims from both parties. The court had ordered the removal of the video from social media platforms after considering a forensic report that found the word “guru” was not present in the audio, a clip originally shared by BJP minister Kapil Mishra. BJP minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa dismissed the forensic process, alleging misconduct by the Punjab government. “The so-called forensic investigation conducted without the original video, without an IT expert, and without a voice sample is completely wrong and misleading,” Sirsa stated, accusing the AAP-led Punjab government of politically shielding Atishi. In response, Delhi AAP President Saurabh Bharadwaj turned the focus onto BJP ministers. “The forensic report clearly establishes that the word ‘guru’ was not …

Published by Parlour News

The Punjab Congress on Friday (January 9, 2026) claimed that an FIR has been registered against its MLAs Sukhpal Khaira and Pargat Singh for sharing a video clip of AAP leader Atishi, whom the BJP has accused of making derogatory remarks against the ninth Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur. Leader of Opposition in Punjab Assembly, Partap Singh Bajwa, termed the “FIR lodged by the Jalandhar police against Pargat Singh and Sukhpal Khaira” a blatant abuse of State power and a shameful attempt to divert attention from a serious issue. “AAP Punjab leadership has chosen the cowardly path of intimidation and political vendetta. Under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab Police is being misused to harass the opposition lawmakers rather than being deployed to restore law and order in the state,” Mr. Bajwa said in a late evening X post. “Let it be made absolutely clear: intimidation will not break our resolve,” he added. Notably, the Jalandhar Police Commissionerate on Friday filed an FIR in connection with uploading and circulating an “edited” and “doctored” video of AAP …

50 years since Aryabhata: the lift-off that launched India’s satellite odyssey April 19, 2025 When thrusters of the Soviet rocket carrier Interkosmos fired Aryabhata successfully into space from the Kapustin Yar cosmodrome in 1975, it was a historic lift-off that launched India’s satellite odyssey. Fifty years later, today the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has built 131 satellites, 51 of which are presently in orbit. Named after the ancient astronomer, Aryabhata was the country’s first indigenously built satellite launched from Russian soil on April 19, 1975. Interestingly, it took just 30 minutes after the launch for the first signals to be relayed back to the Indian ground station located in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota, located about 5,000 km away from the Soviet military rocket launch complex. The Rohini Sounding Rocket Experiment and subsequent experiments since 1963 from the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station in Thiruvananthapuram, established by Vikram Sarabhai, tasted success multiple times, but Isro’s plan of designing and building its own satellite launch vehicle (SLV) was still at the drawing board. This meant …

A Delhi Court on Thursday dismissed a criminal defamation complaint filed by Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit against Delhi’s former Chief Minister Atishi and AAP MP Sanjay Singh. “… this Court… finds that the necessary ingredients of criminal defamation are prima facie not made out. The press conference and averments made by the respondents (Atishi and Singh) is nothing more than political discourse amongst rival and competing parties,” said Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Paras Dalal of Rouse Avenue Court while declining to take cognizance of the complaint. In his complaint, Dikshit alleged that Atishi had shared live proceedings of a press conference on her X handle with the caption ‘BJP is helping Congress in the Delhi election’.
