Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. | Photo Credit: ANI Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday (August 21, 2026) criticised the Congress over its stand on Vande Mataram, saying its “opposition” to the National Song raised constitutional and political concerns. The Congress Working Committee, citing its 1937 resolution, had decided to sing only two stanzas (of the total six) of the National Song at party events. “The Congress formally refusing to respect Vande Mataram, and not merely refusing but directly opposing it, is extremely unfortunate and, from a constitutional perspective, a very serious matter,” Mr. Singh said. ‘Patriotism under question mark’ Stating that Parliament is the supreme institution of the country as per the Constitution, he said any law passed by it is binding on every individual. “If anyone refuses to abide by it, then certainly their allegiance to the Constitution comes under a cloud of suspicion, and if anyone refuses to respect the National Song, then their patriotism too comes under a question mark,” said Mr. Singh. He said the 1937 resolution of the CWC …

West Asia conflict | ‘India’s position is right’: Poland backs India’s stance

Published by Webster

Poland on Monday voiced support for India’s stance on the West Asia conflict, with the Polish Secretary of State and Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Teofil Bartoszewski terming New Delhi’s approach as the “right position” and stressing that the ongoing crisis should be resolved through diplomacy while ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking to ANI in New Delhi, Bartoszewski said India’s role as a major economy and energy importer made its balanced approach significant amidst the ongoing conflict. He said, “India’s position is the right position because you are a big country, an important country, and you benefit from free access to goods, including oil, and you depend very much on the oil and gas from the Gulf. Poland still maintains contact with Iran… We informed them that our preferred solution is a diplomatic one. So we do the same thing as Prime Minister Modi. We try to talk reason, but to moderate effect, I would say.” On the ongoing West Asia conflict, the Polish minister underlined that international waterways, that is, …

Published by Parlour News

“It was a day exactly like today’s… The sun was bright, though not too hot,” says Narinder Singh Rathore, talking about May 25, 2025. His two granddaughters sat in the verandah of their pucca house as his wife put out to dry freshly washed linen from the small homestay they ran. “Suddenly, crate walls laid by the NHAI in a bid to protect the slope just above our apple orchard started falling. In a few seconds, a cloud of dust had engulfed the entire valley… People far away could see it,” says Rathore. Soon after, he filed a case in the National Green Tribunal (NGT), seeking compensation from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for the 440-odd apple trees he said he lost in the landslide. He sought compensation under provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, alleging large-scale environmental degradation and damage to his agricultural and orchard land. The NHAI, which earlier disputed the damage quoted by Rathore and called the landslide an act of God, has now told the NGT that it would …

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has called for the revival of the Opposition INDIA bloc following the recently held Assembly election results, but alleged that the Congress, the largest constituent of the alliance, took a stand contrary to unity-building. “The attitude of the Congress towards other opposition parties does not help build the unity of secular forces in a united fight against the RSS-BJP, which is the need of the hour,” said a party statement issued on Monday after the Central Committee (CC) met in New Delhi from May 22 to 24 to assess recent Assembly election outcomes. It condemned allegations that CPI(M) had a “deal” with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Kerala polls, calling them malicious and baseless.

Reality show star Divyaa Agarwal has been mired in controversies ever since The 50. A few months ago, she made headlines over her remarks against Prince Narula. Now, Divyaa has landed in another controversy after a clothing brand accused her of failing to return an outfit sourced for The 50. On Wednesday, the brand shared allegations of  misconduct by Divyaa’s team on social media. A clothing brand called Midweek alleged on Instagram that Divya Agarwal’s stylist Ipsa Arora had sourced two outfits from them, but only one was returned. The Instagram post read, “Two outfits sourced from us, after four months of follow-ups, excuses, lies, and solutions, one outfit lost and one used and returned. Rs 7500 in loss. Small brands are expected to stay silent, but we chose not to. Behind every sourced outfit is a small business trying to survive. What may be just clothes for celebrities and large teams is inventory, money, and months of effort for independent brands.” Also Read: Divya Agarwal confirms turning down Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, slams Prince …
