CPI(M) urges Opposition unity, criticises Congress over INDIA bloc stance

CPI(M) urges Opposition unity, criticises Congress over INDIA bloc stance

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.

Bagan pullout of 7 players: Club knew Unity Cup dates on April 10, says AIFF

Kolkata: Mohun Bagan Super Giant knew the dates of the Unity Cup in England on April 10 but it was only on May 20 that they informed the All India Football Federation (AIFF) that players would be released only for matches in the FIFA window, the federation said on Sunday. Mohun Bagan Super Giant’s celebrate during the match against East Bengal FC, in Kolkata. (PTI) Mohun Bagan also allowed players to complete the biometrics required for the UK visa on April 23 but asked them not to travel hours before the squad’s departure early on Sunday, AIFF has said. Because seven from Bagan pulled out, India left for the tournament in London with only 18 players. India will play Jamaica on May 27 and either Nigeria or Zimbabwe on May 30. This is the senior men’s team’s first tour of England since 2002. “An earlier communication of any reservations would have allowed us the time to make the necessary arrangements and ensure no player missed out on an important opportunity,” said Subrata Paul, AIFF’s director …

Play for India at your own risk, Mohun Bagan SG tell players ahead of Unity Cup

3 min readUpdated: May 23, 2026 08:17 PM IST Khalid Jamil had named a 28-member squad for the Unity Cup in London, where India will face world number 71 Jamaica on May 27, and possibly world number 26 Nigeria later. However, the India coach could be without seven of his key players when the team leaves for the tournament on Sunday. The reason? Mohun Bagan’s last-minute stand. The Kolkata giants, who finished second in the Indian Super League, have told their players that they can play in the tournament at their own risk, and that the club will not pay for any injuries they may sustain. Bagan have previously refused to release players for the national camp, notably for the first one that Jamil called in August last year. Once again, they have cited long-standing concerns over the lack of compensation for clubs when players get injured while playing for the national team outside FIFA’s designated international windows. “This time, we told the players to go at their own risk. Because if you play wearing …

Hema Malini has called for unity and urgency following PM Modi’s remarks on economic challenges. “First came the coronavirus pandemic, then wars began to erupt, and now the world is facing an energy crisis. This decade is increasingly turning into a decade of disasters for the world. We can all see that if these conditions are not changed swiftly, the achievements of many past decades could be undone. A very large section of the world’s population could once again be pushed into the quagmire of poverty,” he said.
