‘Every line of decency crossed’: Huge uproar over Rahul Gandhi’s hug dig at govt’s foreign policy

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s recent remarks against the government’s foreign diplomacy has triggered huge uproar, with several senior BJP leaders condemning the “indecent” language. Rahul Gandhi was seen hugging Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit in an apparent dig at the government’s foreign policy. (PTI) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma accused Rahul Gandhi and the party of crossing “every line of decency” over remarks made during a Congress event involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Sarma said the remarks were not only politically indecent but also an attempt to damage India’s foreign relations. He made the comments in a post on X while reacting to Gandhi’s remarks at the Rachnatmak Congress National Convention. “Congress’ dynastic leadership has once again crossed every line of decency – making objectionable remarks about a woman head of state who leads a friendly country, while women on the stage and in the audience laugh along,” Sarma said. “This is not merely political indecency; it is also an attempt to sabotage India’s foreign relations. When disrespect towards …

Many migrants risk their lives while trying to enter Europe by swimming from the Moroccan towns of Fnideq or Belyounech to Ceuta. Many others try to breach …

‘Kapil Sharma went on an abusive rant, crossed all limits’: Journalist recalls feud  | Bollywood News

3 min readNew DelhiJun 23, 2026 07:19 PM IST Kapil Sharma is one of the most successful comedians in India but a few years ago, Kapil hit a rough patch when many reports claimed that Kapil was holding up his own shoot and was turning up hours late on set. So much so that Bollywood stars who came to shoot with him had to wait for him, and on some occasions, the shoot was called off because Kapil was a no-show. In this phase, Kapil had a massive argument with journalist Vickey Lalwani, where Kapil allegedly abused Vickey and accused him of writing unsavoury articles about him in exchange for money. In a new interview, Vickey recalled that chapter and said that this episode was particularly “shocking” for him as he had never encountered a star who would actually call a journalist and abuse them. In a chat with Siddharth Kannan, Vickey shared that he got a call from an unknown number in April 2018, and the caller identified himself as Kapil Sharma. “Kapil went …

US-Iran peace agreement: Energy worries far from over, India keeps fingers crossed | Explained News

US-Iran peace agreement: Energy worries far from over, India keeps fingers crossed | Explained News

This is the closest the two countries have come to a deal since the West Asia war began in late February, raising hopes of a pick-up in maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. But energy and shipping experts, though optimistic, are approaching the development with considerable caution. India, which depends heavily on West Asian imports to meet its oil, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) needs, is watching the developments closely. Government sources said they hoped the deal would ease energy flows from the region, but are not fully convinced yet. Oil and gas sector insiders are similarly optimistic about the prospect of Iranian oil and gas returning to international markets as part of the agreement, but remain wary of counting on it. The key concern is most of the deal’s terms are still unknown. It remains to be seen how the agreement — if signed — will play out in the fraught waters of the strait, which used to carry a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) flows before …

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi crossed the line and why he was wrong in Dambulla

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi crossed the line and why he was wrong in Dambulla

5 min readJun 15, 2026 08:10 PM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has spent the last couple of years proving he belongs among players far older than him. At 15, he has smashed international bowlers in the IPL, won an Under-19 World Cup and now finds himself on the verge of possibly debuting for India on their tours of Ireland and England, starting later this month. His rise has been extraordinary, which is exactly why what happened after India A’s defeat to Sri Lanka A in Dambulla on Monday should concern everyone around him. The result itself was dramatic. A tied game. Confusion over whether fading light would even allow a Super Over. Another twist before Sri Lanka A eventually prevailed. Emotions were naturally running high. But feeling frustrated is one thing. Losing control over it is another. Television footage showed Sooryavanshi involved in a heated confrontation with Sri Lanka A players after the match. Even while walking away, he repeatedly turned back to continue the exchange and ended up making contact with opposition player. Whatever may …

The actor recently looked back at the hurdles of her early days, shedding light on a deeply unsettling experience where professional lines were crossed on set.

(Instagram) Priya Bapat opens up about a difficult chapter Reflecting on one of her earliest film projects, Priya revealed that she felt uneasy about a specific kissing scene from the very beginning. “This was kind of my first, first films,” she told Filmfare. “This is all before City of Dreams and everything happened.

It’s not about whether I want …

How Samardeep crossed shot put’s mental barrier

How Samardeep crossed shot put’s mental barrier

3 min readRanchiMay 25, 2026 11:45 PM IST The first three throws were wrong. Samardeep Singh Gill was not getting enough height on the ball, and his coach Sandeep Singh could see exactly why. Between throws, he pulled Samardeep aside and told him one thing: raise your hand a little while rotating in the circle. Samardeep went back, adjusted, and threw 20.46m. First time in his career beyond the mark he had been chasing for over a year. He then threw beyond 20m twice more. By the end of the night he had won gold at the National Inter-State Athletics Championships in Ranchi, defeated national record holder Tajinderpal Singh Toor, and qualified for the Commonwealth Games. “I think crossing 20m is about mindset,” Samardeep said afterwards. “Your body will fail you at times but your mind will always stay with you. Now that I have crossed the mark, I think the mark will improve for me.” The journey to that throw began not in a shot put circle but on a cricket ground. Samardeep bowled …

Now, years later, Prajakta Shukre has opened up about the dynamics between Rahul Vaidya and Amit Sana during the competition.
