#WATCH | Delhi | "... BJP operatives were sitting inside the homes of the MPs who hadn't signed. Their homes were demolished. All of this is being orchestrated from Nishikant Dubey's house. I have a contact inside his house who keeps me informed about what's going on," says TMC MP Kirti Azad on the 20 rebel TMC MPs. He says, "BJP operatives were sitting inside the homes of the MPs who hadn't signed. The police were guarding from the outside. Their homes were demolished. Their families were intimidated and threatened. Many have come forward out of fear... Bapi Haldar's house was completely wrecked. He was trembling. He is a first-time MP, a young man. There are two others as well. You can see that the first eight are listed in a different ink, while the next group, from fourteen to eighteen, is in black ink. Three Muslims are included in that group, too. Now, the BJP needs them as well, even though they usually badmouth them, because they want a two-thirds majority. They did the same thing to Mitali Bag. She is a first-timer too. She comes from a rural background and has lived a simple life. Her house was also trashed, completely vandalised. Mala Roy is the latest one. She signed the day before yesterday. Saayoni did it separately. She didn't meet openly but signed separately. She met Bhupender Yadav the night before... All of this is being orchestrated from Nishikant Dubey's house. I have a contact inside his house who keeps me informed about what's going on... Prakash Barik, who resigned, did so from right outside Nishikant's house. Nishikant is a shrewd businessman with plenty of money. I know him well. He’s from my hometown. He’s like a younger brother. But I know what his game is... First, there was the meeting with Bhupender Yadav (with rebel MPs). Then Suvendu Adhikari arrived with flowers. It’s obvious this is a BJP ploy..."

#BREAKING: Supreme Court dismisses Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan's plea challenging the rejection of her Rajya Sabha nomination for the Madhya Pradesh by-election. • Court holds that challenges to rejection of nomination papers must ordinarily be pursued through an election petition. • Refuses to carve out an exception under Article 32 even in cases alleging a "glaring" or "manifestly illegal" rejection of nomination. • Reiterates that Article 329(b) bars judicial interference during the election process and that courts cannot create categories of cases warranting mid-election intervention. • Notes the consistent line of precedents beginning with N.P. Ponnuswami and followed in subsequent election law decisions. • Clarifies that all rights and contentions of the petitioner remain open in an election petition and that observations in the order will not prejudice such proceedings. #SupremeCourt

'In a Country Where Even a Street Vendor Must Register, How Can RSS Be Exempted?': Priyank Kharge 'Let the RSS call me to its Keshava Krupa headquarters. Let them show me the law under which they are exempted from being accountable to the government.' thewire.in/government/in-a-c…

IMPORTANT: First anniversary of Air India Ahmedabad crash in which 260 people died. Still NO SIGN of the final report. Lots of assurances but still NO report. Without a final report, there can be no closure for the victim families. Interestingly, UK newspapers have asked more searching questions than we have at home. Will the TRUTH ever come out? Or will it be another case of NO DETAILS AVAILABLE? (NDA). Prayers and thoughts with victim families: they surely deserve better 🙏

In an extraordinary rebuke, Federal Court judge Ian Jackman has named and shamed six fellow judges who have failed to deliver decisions in cases up to three years after hearing them, condemning the “egregious” delays as “a real and growing threat to the rule of law in Australia”.
