The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP SP) leader Rohit Pawar has assured supporters that there is no cause for concern after reports about his health prompted calls from well-wishers. In a post on X on Monday, Pawar said he had been unwell for the past two to three days and was undergoing medical tests to determine whether the illness was due to viral flu or another cause. Pawar said doctors had advised him to take complete rest instead of ignoring his illness. However, he added that while he would take as much rest as possible over the next few days, he would continue to fulfil his responsibilities as a public representative. गेले २-३ दिवस तब्येत साथ देत नसल्याने आणि याबाबत आज माध्यमांमधील बातम्या पाहून अनेक हितचिंतक फोन करतायत. आपल्या काळजीबद्दल धन्यवाद, पण काळजीचे काहीही कारण नाही. व्हायरल फ्लू किंवा इतर काही कारण आहे का, याबाबत तपासणी सुरू आहे. खरं तर डॉक्टरांनी आजार अंगावर न काढता सक्तीच्या… — Rohit Pawar (@RRPSpeaks) August 3, 2026 Pawar thanks his well-wishers The NCP (SP) leader thanked the many …

Opposition unite over Wangchuk before Monsoon Session: ‘Taking him away government arrogance, shameful’ | Political Pulse News

Published by Parlour News

On the eve of Parliament’s monsoon session, the beleaguered Opposition, reeling under splits and floor-crossings, rallied together Saturday to attack the BJP government over moving activist Sonam Wangchuk from his Jantar Mantar protest site to Safdarjung Hospital. The signal was clear: the issue will find an echo in the House when it reopens Monday. Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike since June 28 as part of a protest organised by the Cockroach Janta Party, demanding broader reforms to the examination system and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over repeated examination paper leaks. This session is crucial. The Opposition has been in disarray, ironically, after they unitedly forced the defeat of the Constitution amendment Bill to increase parliamentary seats in April. Since then, 37 Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs from four anti-BJP parties have defected to the ruling side – making it the largest floor crossing from the Opposition to the Treasury benches in parliament since the enactment of the anti-defection law in 1985. One Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP, Koel …

Published by Parlour News

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “communal, personal and vitriolic” attacks are a result of his realisation that people’s mandate is going against the BJP, said NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday. He was speaking at the Loksatta Lok Samvad. Pawar expressed confidence that despite leaders of the NCP and Shiv Sena joining hands with the BJP, the workers have not gone with them. Pawar spoke on various issues ranging from the split in the NCP, claims made by Ajit Pawar and Praful Patel during the election campaign, the future strategy of INDIA front, response to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), among others. He said that there is no thinking on merger with Congress now, but added that he does not know about the future. “It is being observed after four out of the seven phases of polls that the response to Modi is on decline.

File. | Photo Credit: ANI The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on February 19 a plea of Sharad Pawar challenging an Election Commission order recognising the Ajit Pawar-led faction as the real Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). A bench of Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta and KV Viswanathan is likely to hear Sharad Pawar’s plea. On February 16, the Supreme Court had agreed to urgently list the plea after Sharad Pawar stated that a whip may be issued by the faction led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. The veteran leader had sought an urgent hearing of his plea in the wake of twin blows suffered by the group led by him and the consequential fear of facing action for possible violations of whip by his MLAs. Sharad Pawar had sought urgent hearing in view of the February 15 order of Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar. Mr. Narwekar held that the NCP faction led by Ajit Pawar was the real NCP and that the anti-defection provisions in …
