Activists, police spar over ban on Sharan Pumpwell
Deputy commissioner CN Meena Nagaraj has banned Sharan from entering the district for 30 days from July 6. A right-wing organisation has invited him to several events in Chikkamagaluru.
Following the recommendation of the Chikkamagaluru superintendent of police, the DC, as per Section 163 of the BNSS, barred Sharan from entering the district. The right-wing activists took out a procession from Azad Park to the DC office, but were stopped by police near the office of the superintendent of police. An argument broke out as police denied permission to visit the DC. However, only 10 persons were allowed to submit the memorandum.
People were not allowed to enter the SP and DC's office when the protest was on, as the police intensified security at both offices.

NDA outrage more meaningful if support on Manipur violence too: Dimple Yadav on cleric's remark
Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav on Monday said the NDA's outrage over a cleric's derogatory comments against her would be more meaningful had similar solidarity been shown during incidents like the violence in Manipur. The cleric, Maulana Sajid Rashid, reportedly made a misogynistic comment about Yadav who was wearing a sari at a meeting in a mosque and compared her to another woman SP MP, Iqra Hasan, who had covered her head. The comment led to widespread condemnation on social media and in political circles, including from BJP's Bansuri Swaraj and Congress' Renuka Chowdhury. NDA MPs also held a protest outside Parliament in protest. 'It's good that action is being taken now…But it would have been better if similar protests and support had been visible when horrifying incidents like the one in Manipur came to light through footage on social media. Back then, if people had stood together the way they are now over the Operation Sindoor issue, it would have shown genuine concern,' Yadav said.

'As per the Islamic faith, I object to the way she (Dimple Yadav) was sitting inside the Mosque. It is not appropriate to sit like that inside a Mosque.

'The Maulana who was present there is no longer a Maulana; he is an MP now. He was not authorised to sit there. He is sitting there with joined hands like a slave. Would he have had the courage to tell the Supremo's wife that she is sitting in the wrong position? The biggest perpetrator is him,' Rashidi said. He further criticised Nadvi for allegedly serving refreshments during the mosque gathering: 'Had he been a Maulana, he would have immediately objected and said that a Mosque is not a place for having discussions… He had to bring tea and snacks for Akhilesh Yadav in the Mosque, which is against Islam.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Installing Solar Panels in Bangladesh Might Be Cheaper Then You Think Solar Panels | Search Ads Get Info Undo Maulana faces FIR Late on Sunday, Lucknow Police registered an FIR against Maulana Rashidi following a complaint filed by Pravesh Yadav, a resident of Gomtinagar's Vikalp Khand.

No Shashi Tharoor, no fellow delegate Manish Tiwari either in Congress list for Op Sindoor debate
The Congress has left out its leaders who were part of multi-party delegations that travelled to various countries in the wake of Operation Sindoor from its list of speakers for the debate on it in Parliament, which began Monday. 'The delegations represented India abroad and spoke in favour of the government. Now, it is time to voice the concerns of the Opposition and people of India, and hence, the party has picked new people to speak in the House,' a Congress MP said. Among the leaders who were part of the delegations are former Union ministers Salman Khurshid and Anand Sharma, who are currently not MPs. However, MPs like Shashi Tharoor, Manish Tewari and Amar Singh were also not picked by the Congress to speak in the debate. Both Houses of Parliament have dedicated 16 hours each to hold discussions on Operation Sindoor, the Pahalgam attack and US President Donald Trump's claims of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, among other issues. The Lok Sabha will take up the issue on Monday while the Upper House is likely to take it up on Tuesday. The Congress had been at loggerheads with the Centre over the constitution of the delegation, with the party accusing the government of indulging in 'cheap politics' by not picking its choices like deputy floor leader in the Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi and Punjab MP Amrinder Singh Raja Warring. The party was particularly upset over the Centre choosing Tharoor, a former diplomat who heads the Parliamentary Committee on External Affairs, to be a member of one of the delegations, as it followed several issues on which the Congress MP was at odds with his party. The MPs chosen by the Congress to speak in the House are not very prominent but represent most of the geographical regions of the country — being elected from Maharashtra, Punjab, Kerala, Haryana, Odisha, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. 'Representatives of those states affected by the conflict have been picked,' a Congress MP said. Gogoi would open the debate in the Lok Sabha from the Opposition's side while other Congress speakers include Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (Wayanad), Deepender Singh Hooda (Rohtak), Praniti Shinde (Solapur ), Saptagiri Ulaka (Koraput) and Brijendra Singh Ola (Jhunjhunu). On Tuesday, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Warring (Ludhiana), Lok Sabha Whip Manickam Tagore (Virudhanagar) and Shafi Parambil (Vadakara) will speak, the sources said. Other Opposition parties like the TMC, DMK, Samajwadi Party, NCP (SP) have also sent their picks to the government. While the TMC will be represented by MPs Kalyan Banerjee and Sayoni Ghosh, Ramashankar Rajbhar and Chhotelal will be the SP's speakers. The DMK will be represented by A Raja and K Kanimozhi while Supriya Sule and Amar Kale will be the NCP (SP)'s speakers.
