Oaths must be taken ‘in name of God’ or by solemn affirmation, says Kerala High Court; 19 sworn in again

The Kerala High Court on Wednesday invalidated the oath-taking of 20 BJP councillors of the Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation and a Congress ward member of a gram panchayat for invoking names of Hindu deities, martyrs and other individuals during the ceremony, ruling that statutory oaths must be taken “in the name of God” or by solemn affirmation.

‘Your husband is your god’: Desi Bling’s Tabinda Sanpal on why she massages Satish’s feet | Web-series News

Netflix reality show Desi Bling turned Dubai-based couple Satish Sanpal and Tabinda Sanpal into one of OTT’s most talked-about personalities. While their lavish lifestyle, luxury cars, gold collection and candid conversations grabbed attention, several comments made by the couple also sparked intense debate online. Now, speaking to Humans of Bombay, the couple has addressed the backlash, saying many viewers misunderstood what they were trying to say on the show. According to Satish, appearing on Desi Bling has ultimately been good for business and visibility. “Business-wise, it is good. Because if someone is searching for you, obviously your business is also seen. So overall, whoever is watching Desi Bling, somewhere we have got business-wise benefit. And it was a very good experience.” However, he believes some of the show’s most-discussed moments were taken out of context. ‘People took the wrong meaning’ One of the biggest controversies surrounding the couple stemmed from Tabinda’s comments on the show about Satish attending parties with women, often without her. Addressing the reaction, Satish said, “There were many things in Desi …

In the latest development, the Delhi High Court has postponed the hearing on Salman’ petition seeking to prevent the release of the film. ‘No right to make a film of Salman’s life’ According to ANI, the matter came up before the vacation bench of Justice Madhu Jain on Friday.

He has no right to make a film of my life. I am seeking an interim injunction. The teaser has already been released,” Sethi submitted before the Court.

FIFA World Cup 2026: At the Azteca Stadium, a spring, a serpent god, and 87,500 people on opening day | Football News

Two miles from the Azteca Stadium, in Coyoacan’s Cafe Cruco, Jose Alvarez, the cafe owner, throws in a trivia: “Do you know what is in Azteca’s tummy?” Then, he informs with a proud smile: “It’s water, a large spring that almost touches the other world.” But, with a raised eyebrow, he adds: “When there is a match, we face water shortage, because the stadium has a thousand restrooms!” He is not far wrong about the dimensions. The Azteca sits like a giant concrete sombrero, the traditional Mexican hat, in the Saint Ursula Coapa neighbourhood, over parts of a volcano that gushed its last fumes in the fourth century. The narrow roads with murals of Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata with his bristling moustache are cordoned off, mainly to ease traffic for players, and partly to keep off the teachers demanding a 100 per cent pay rise and truck drivers protesting kidnappings on the highways. None of these tensions has spilled onto the arena, a canyon, a planet unto itself, the most sacred of footballing venues. The …

The hand of a God, goal of the century, grudge of a lifetime

The hand of a God, goal of the century, grudge of a lifetime

Steve Hodge kept the shirt for 35 years. He hadn’t meant to be part of any of it. In the 51st minute of a World Cup quarter-final in Mexico City, he had tried to clear a ball, got it badly wrong, and looped it back towards his own goalkeeper. What followed – in less than a second, in the space that mistake created – would follow him for the rest of his life. After the final whistle he found Maradona in the tunnel and asked to swap shirts. He kept it for twenty years, loaned it to a museum, then held on a little longer. In 2022, he sold it at Sotheby’s for £7.1 million. World record for sports memorabilia. That is what one second of football made of itself. *** June 22, 1986. The Azteca Stadium, Mexico City. 114,000 people inside. Four years since the Falklands War ended with Argentina humiliated, 600 soldiers dead, Las Malvinas still British. Maradona had told the press beforehand it was only about football. He knew that wasn’t true. …
