Dubey's remarks come after Rahul Gandhi's repeated claims of the BJP's links with business Conglomerates
Earlier on Friday, while addressing a public rally in Bhubaneswar, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led
Odisha government
of "stealing the wealth" from poor people.
"The Government of Odisha has just one work--to steal the wealth of Odisha from the hands of the poor people of the state... Earlier, the BJD Government did this and now the BJP Government is doing this. On one side, there is the poor public of Odisha, Dalits, tribals, the backward class, farmers and labourers, and on the other side, there are 5-6 billionaires and the BJP Government. This fight is going on. Only the Congress workers, along with the people of Odisha, can win this fight; no one else," he said.
The Congress MP also alleged that chariots of Lord Jagannath were halted during the Rath Yatra for industrialist Gautam
Adani
.
"Adruns the Odisha Government; Adani runs Narendra Modi. When Jagannath Yatra is taken out in Odisha, when the Jagannath Yatra chariots are pulled, lakhs of people witness it and follow it. Then, a drama takes place--the chariots are stopped for Adani and his family. This will make you understand everything about the Government of Odisha," he alleged.

SC declines plea to deregister AIMIM, suggests broader petition on communal appeals
The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to entertain a plea seeking directions to the Election Commission of India to deregister parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Musalimeen as a political party. A bench of justices Surya Kant and justice Joymala Bagchi suggested that the petitioner could file a plea on the larger issue of political parties invoking communal statements. "We are not on communal parties , etc. Sometimes, regional parties invoke regional sentiments... So what should be done... There are parties who also invoke caste issues that are equally dangerous. Without criticising anyone, such issues can be raised," justice Kant said. The bench allowed the petitioner to file a fresh plea raising larger issues regarding the validity of political parties with religious objectives. The plea was filed by Tirupati Narasimha Murari , who alleged that AIMIM 's declared objectives were to serve the Muslim community alone, violating the principle of secularism, and hence it cannot be recognised as a political party. The bench, however, observed that as per the constitution of the party, its objective is to work for every backward section. The bench said the party's constitution is "for every backward class in society, including those belonging to minority community... backward both economically and in the field of education... that's what the Constitution professes". Justice Kant said, "There are certain rights guaranteed to minorities under the Constitution... party's political manifesto or constitution says it will work for the protection of those rights granted under the Constitution." The senior judge pointed out that India's Constitution grants protection to minorities. "Suppose a party says we will promote untouchability; that is absolutely offending. That must be struck down, that must be banned... Suppose a religious law is protected under the Constitution and a political party says it will teach that law, they will teach because it is protected under the Constitution... What is only within the framework of the Constitution (that may not be objectionable)," justice Kant said. SC advised the petitioner to file a "neutral" petition.

Congress vision rooted in Rahul Gandhi's principle, says CM Siddaramaiah
IANS Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said the Congress party's vision was anchored in Rahul Gandhi's principle that a community's rights must be proportionate to its population. Society must strengthen the voices led by Gandhi to ensure social justice and equity, he said, speaking at the AICC OBC Advisory Council meeting. 'Let us remind the country that Ahinda is not a vote bank. It is the voice of India's conscience,' he said, referring to the acronym that stands for minorities, OBCs and Dalits. Ahinda, he added, was an empowerment model which is not only relevant, but is also essential. 'India can never be a true democracy unless the majority who come from OBC, SC, ST and minority communities, that is the AHINDA communities, are not only counted, but also heard.' Karnataka model, Siddaramaiah said, was principled in its commitment to Social Justice and Equity. 'It is rooted in fraternity. It is based on data and scientific surveys. And it is now ready for a national-level adoption.' The CM said his government was committed to delivering justice after completion of the second socio, economic and educational survey that was underway. The state Cabinet had, last month, decided to conduct a fresh state-wide socio-economic survey and complete it in 90 days as desired by the Congress leadership.'For the first time since 1931, we had data on caste and deprivation. But BJP did not make use of the data effectively for the welfare of the Backward Classes,' the CM said, speaking at the AICC OBC Advisory Council meeting in attacked the BJP and Sangh Parivar saying they polarised India through caste division, while the Congress worked to win back through social unity and constitutional justice.

Govt to table 8 new Bills in monsoon session of Parliament starting July 21
For the monsoon session of Parliament, which begins on July 21, the government has listed eight new Bills, including the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions), Taxation Laws (Amendment), and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bills. The session is also set to see the Opposition INDIA bloc parties demand that the government brief Parliament on Operation Sindoor and India's foreign policy, especially with China. They may also seek information on the proposed India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement and US President Donald Trump's repeated claims that he used trade as a bargaining chip to persuade India and Pakistan to end their military conflict. On Tuesday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, who is also leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, met Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. 'The Opposition wants a productive Rajya Sabha session from July 21. For that to happen, a number of strategic, political, foreign policy and socio-economic issues that are of great public concern need to be debated and discussed," Kharge said in a post on X after the meeting. The government's 'tentative' list of business for the monsoon session, released by the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha secretariats late Monday evening, does not mention a Bill to amend the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) of 2016. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance is currently studying the IBC to recommend to the government ways to make it more robust. In its three meetings on the subject, 'review of working IBC and emerging issues', the panel has tried to understand the perspectives of banks. At its meeting slated for July 29, it will meet representatives of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The government is also set to introduce the Geoheritage Sites and Geo-relics (Preservation and Maintenance), National Sports Governance Bill, and National Anti- Doping (Amendment) Bills. According to the government's list of business, the Mines and Minerals Bill will seek to provide for viable recovery of associated critical minerals, inclusion of contiguous area in a lease for optimal and scientific mining of deep-seated minerals and widening the scope of National Mineral Exploration Trust. The Jan Vishwas Bill seeks to foster ease of doing business and to promote ease of living. The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill seeks to include IIM Guwahati in the Schedule of the Act. The Geoheritage Sites and Geo-relics (Preservation and Maintenance) Bill seeks to provide for the declaration, preservation, protection and maintenance of geoheritage sites and geo-relics of national importance for geological studies. The National Sports Governance Bill aims to establish institutional capacity and standards for the governance of sports federations. It would also help establish measures for the resolution of sports grievances and sports disputes. In addition to these Bills, Parliament will also consider some of the pending Bills, including the Income-tax Bill, which was referred to a select committee during the Budget session for further scrutiny. The government will also seek Parliament approval for having extended the President's Rule in Manipur.
