Abhishek Banerjee’s visit came a day before TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee is scheduled to visit the National Capital for an INDIA bloc meeting. (Handout via PTI) While Mamata and Abhishek were earlier scheduled to travel to Delhi at the same time for the opposition alliance’s meeting according to the original schedule, the latter reached the Capital a day earlier.

I am not in Delhi or Kolkata now. I haven’t heard about any meeting,” a TMC MP, who did not …

Scratch, spin, revolt, rule: Sudhan Gurung, the DJ who remixed Nepal’s politics | World News

4 min readApr 5, 2026 11:29 AM IST THAMEL, THE tourist hotspot in Kathmandu and go-to neighbourhood for foreign backpackers known for its cheap hotels, music clubs and an active nightlife in narrow bylanes, is where Sudhan Gurung, Nepal’s new Home Minister, learned to read the room. In dimly lit consoles next to dancing crowds, as a DJ spinning and scratching, he knew when to restrain himself and when to let it rip. Gurung would manage events, sing and rap on occasion, releasing music regularly on his label Eagle Boy Records. What the 37-year-old Gurung perhaps didn’t factor in was that his skill to assess his audience would come handy in public life. Gurung, who in September 2025 led the Gen Z protests by coordinating thousands of students, prompting former PM KP Sharma Oli to resign, was sworn in as the Home Minister of Nepal last week and is now a significant member of the 15-member Cabinet led by former rapper-turned-politician Prime Minister Balen Shah (Balen). Born and raised in Gorkha, 140 km west of …

Juventus Readmitted To ECA After Failed Super League Revolt

Juventus Readmitted To ECA After Failed Super League Revolt

File photo of Juventus players.© AFP Juventus have been readmitted to the European Club Association (ECA) after the Serie A club’s failed bid to create a continental Super League, the organisation’s chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi said on Thursday. Italy’s most successful club, Juve abandoned the ECA in order to push for the so-called European Super League, which was launched in April 2021 but quickly collapsed after fan anger and threats from governing bodies UEFA and FIFA. “I am pleased to welcome Juventus back to our family. Now, all top division clubs in over 20 countries are ECA members,” Al-Khelaifi, who is also president of Paris Saint-Germain, said during the ECA’s General Assembly in Athens. Juve, then chaired by Super League crusader Andrea Agnelli, intended to be one of 12 founder clubs alongside the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and a clutch of teams from England’s Premier League. Since the original Super League project failed, Agnelli has been hit with two lengthy bans from Italian football after the country’s football federation found him and Juventus …

In Rampur, an absent Azam Khan is omnipresent: in SP unit’s revolt, ally Cong’s warmth, BJP’s hopes | Political Pulse News

Rampur is buzzing ahead of Eid and the countdown to the April 19 elections. But, outside the imposing residence of senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader and former Lok Sabha MP Azam Khan on Jail Road, there is silence. The doors to the house are closed and the lane outside empty. Neighbours say visitors and hangers-on have dried up since the arrest of Khan, once one of the most powerful politicians of Uttar Pradesh, as well as that of his wife and son. Rampur Jail, where his wife, former Rajya Sabha MP Tazeen Fatma, is imprisoned is hardly 200 metres from the Khan residence. In times past, poll season would have seen SP leaders making a beeline for the Jail Road address. Rampur can’t remember the last time when a Khan family member or a leader recommended by him was not contesting on the SP ticket. This time, SP national president Akhilesh Yadav, who has had a prickly relationship with Khan – like other leaders belonging to his father Mulayam Singh Yadav’s time – has given …
