Published by Parlour News

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh. File. | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Congress on Friday (July 3, 2026) demanded the dissolution of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust over the donation “theft” at the Ram temple, a Supreme Court-monitored probe, and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi break his “silence” on the issue.

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, “Mr. Prime Minister, when there has been a betrayal of Lord Ram and the public’s trust has been breached, what hesitation or arrogance is there in accepting it?” “There is massive anger and outrage across the country against the theft of the donations that took place under the leadership of people from the RSS ecosystem chosen by your government,” Mr. Ramesh said in a post on X. “What you have done was a grave sin indeed, but your silence on this extremely important matter now is a …

CSK Break Silence on Hardik Pandya Trade Rumours With Blunt Verdict

CSK Break Silence on Hardik Pandya Trade Rumours With Blunt Verdict

Published by Webster

The CSK (Chennai Super Kings) CEO, Kasi Viswanathan, has shut down the rumours of the franchise being in the race to sign Hardik Pandya on a trade. Several reports have emerged that seven other franchises are interested in signing Hardik Pandya. Five-time winners Chennai Super Kings have reportedly entered the race for Hardik and are rivalling Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Chennai Super Kings finished eighth in IPL 2026. With concerns over Ruturaj Gaikwad’s captaincy following their failure to qualify for the playoffs in consecutive seasons, Hardik could be considered an ideal captaincy candidate. CSK were involved in a high-profile trade last year, where Sanju Samson joined from the Rajasthan Royals in a swap trade for Ravindra Jadeja. Apart from KKR, Rajasthan Royals are also interested in the all-rounder for Yashasvi Jaiswal, though the chances of the trade are highly impossible as the inaugural champions see Riyan Parag as their long-term captain. However, Kasi Viswanathan has denied the talks regarding the trades of Hardik Pandya. “We have not had any discussion. This will be done only …

When her feet hit the sand, she got up and looked anxiously at the board for her mark. When the board read 6.88m, Ancy dropped on the track in joy. One of the longest-standing national records, held by Anju Bobby George, was overhauled in spectacular fashion at the inter-state athletics championships. Ancy, the 25-year-old from Nattika in Thrissur, not only broke the national record of 6.83m, which had stood since the 2004 Athens Olympics, but also proved that all the sacrifices she had made over the years were well worth it. “This national record is a statement that India has jumpers who have range and are rising,” Ancy said after her record-breaking moment. While Ancy glowed in glory at the Kalinga Stadium, her father Sojan was at a loss for words back home in Thrissur. “I don’t know what to say. It is a dream come true and a …
