Congress leader Rahul Gandhi staged a dharna outside a New Delhi police station on Friday, protesting the police's refusal to file an FIR for a student allegedly injured by a pellet gun during a July protest. Following the protest, the Delhi Police registered the case. The incident comes amid allegations of police excesses during the demonstration.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju clarified that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "dimagi Naxals" remark during his Independence Day speech was not directed at Opposition leaders. Rijiju stated the term refers to individuals who support Maoists, reject the Constitution, back separatists, and advocate for separating the Northeast from India, countering Congress's allegations of suppressing political dissent.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav met Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren in Ranchi to discuss forming a united opposition front for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Kumar stated they would oppose the Centre's attempts to alter history and restore Hindu and Muslim unity, while Soren emphasized aligning thoughts within the opposition camp.
