Shashi Tharoor comes down heavily on new Transgender bill| India News

Published by Parlour News

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Sunday strongly criticised the newly introduced Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, calling it a “deeply regressive” step and warning that it undermines established constitutional protections. Shashi Tharoor attacks Transgender Bill over identity, privacy concerns (File photo/PTI) Though away from Parliament due to the ongoing Kerala elections preparations, Tharoor said he was closely tracking developments, adding that “I’m deeply concerned by the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026… which was tabled rather surreptitiously and without proper stakeholder consultation.” In a two-part post on X, the Thiruvananthapuram MP said that the bill appears to reverse the rights-based framework established after the Supreme Court’s 2014 NALSA judgment. Changes to self-identification under fire Among the concerns raised by Tharoor is the proposed removal of provisions that recognise self-identified gender. “The amendments delete Section 4(2) of the 2019 Act, which guaranteed the right to self-perceived gender identity, and replace it with systems of medical board verification and bureaucratic certification,” he said.

Reacting to it, he answered, “I don’t take that pressure in the slightest because I know that’s not my legacy to own. I think my surname is Nanda because I’m my father’s son first. I focus on making him proud, and that’s a legacy I carry very heavily on me. My other family members who are actors—I admire their work, I love their work. But I don’t think I can ever be them.

Epstein files released: US justice department releases heavily redacted Epstein files after legal deadline | World News

Published by Parlour News

The US justice department has released thousands of pages of documents linked to its investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, following months of political pressure and a legal deadline. The files were made public late on Friday under a new law passed by Congress, but large sections remain redacted. Officials say some material has been withheld to protect victims, avoid disrupting active investigations, or prevent the release of abusive images. What has been released The documents were uploaded to a dedicated page on the justice department’s website shortly before the deadline. Heavy traffic initially overwhelmed the site, briefly placing users in an online queue.

Officials said more files could follow in the coming weeks. The material includes court records, emails, photographs and investigative documents connected to Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

Dharmendra’s passing has left a deep void in the film industry. The legendary actor lived life king-size and remained one of the biggest stars of Hindi cinema. Over the years, he was also known for his fondness for alcohol, but in an old interview in 2007, Dharmendra had spoken candidly about giving up drinking eight years earlier, a decision he said changed his life. Reflecting on his long struggle with alcohol, Dharmendra had told Lehren Retro, “I used to drink heavily, but I have realised that it doesn’t go with me. If you want to look the same and keep your stamina, your thinking, because it does affect… it’s the worst thing. Today, I wish I had not touched alcohol.
