The CM adopted a twin strategy of blaming the violence on “outsiders” and countering the Opposition’s “appeasement politics” charge. Banerjee met with the families of some of those who lost their homes in the violence, appeared to target Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Border Security Force (BSF); appealed to migrant workers in BJP-ruled states to return to Bengal; and mentioned how her government had set up a Jagannath temple in Digha in Purba Medinipur district. Here are the major highlights and takeaways from Banerjee’s visit.

Takeaways from AP’s report on the religious and moral undercurrents in Superman comics Superman’s character has been portrayed in the mold of Christ and Moses given how he constantly upholds the ideals of self-sacrifice, powerful leadership and compassion.

Congress general secretary (organisation) and Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chairman K C Venugopal speaks with The Hindu on the key takeaways. This session witnessed some tension between Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and the Congress party. Without naming Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Mr. Birla described her comments about the Waqf Bill being “bulldozed” as “unfortunate.” It is very sad to say that, nowadays, parliamentary procedures and conventions are being totally violated by the current government. It is most unfortunate that the BJP wants to politicise the office of the Lok Sabha Speaker. We have serious complaints about how Parliament is being run. We had submitted a letter to the Speaker listing 12 important issues. Parliament functions based on two principles—rules and the Speaker’s directions as well as Parliamentary conventions. Here, both are being violated by this government. We wanted to raise the issue of tariffs imposed …
