BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's huge bombshell on Congress, alleges 150 MPs received Russian funding during their regime
Nishikant Dubey alleged that under the leadership of late Congress leader HKL Bhagat, more than 150 Congress MPs were 'funded' by the Soviet Union, who acted as 'agents' of Russia.
'Congress, Corruption, and Slavery. This unclassified secret document was released by the CIA in 2011. According to it, under the leadership of the late Congress leader HKL Bhagat, more than 150 Congress MPs were funded by Soviet Russia, acting as agents for Russia?', Nishikant Dubey wrote in his 'X' post.
The BJP MP mentioned that a group of journalists were their 'agents'. Nishikant Dubey claimed that the document he shared contains a list of 16,000 news articles that Russia published.
He further alleged that during the Congress regime, 1100 people from the Russian intelligence agency were in India and they kept bureaucrats, business organisations, communist parties, and opinion makers in their 'pockets'.
Nishikant Dubey further alleged that Congress candidate Subhadra Joshi took Rs 5 lakh from the German government in the name of elections during the Soviet Union regime, and after losing, became the president of the Indo-German Forum.
'A group of journalists were their agents, and there is mention of a total of 16,000 news articles that Russia got published? Around that time, 1100 people from Russian intelligence agencies were in India, keeping bureaucrats, business organisations, communist parties, and opinion makers in their pockets, shaping India's policies along with information. Congress candidate Subhadra Joshi took 5 lakh rupees from the German government in the name of elections during that time, and after losing, became the president of the Indo-German Forum. Is this a country or a puppet of slaves, agents, and middlemen? Congress must answer, should there be an investigation on this today or not?', Nishikant Dubey said in his 'X' post. (ANI)

Russia jails senior defence official for 13 years in corruption trial
Russian former deputy defence minister Timur Ivanov was found guilty of corruption and condemned to 13 years in a penal colony on Tuesday, the harshest sentence yet in a series of graft cases against defence officials. Ivanov was arrested in April 2024 on suspicion of taking bribes, and investigators added new embezzlement charges in October. More than a dozen people, including two other former deputy ministers, have been arrested in investigations into separate cases. The trial was closed on grounds of state secrecy. Anton Filatov, a former logistics company boss on trial with Ivanov, received a 12-1/2 year sentence. State media reported that the total sum embezzled was 4.1 billion roubles ($48.8 million), mostly in the form of bank transfers to two foreign accounts. Ivanov, who pleaded not guilty, was stripped of all state awards and the court confiscated 2.5 billion roubles worth of property, cars and cash from him. Russian media said he and his wife owned a luxury apartment in central Moscow, a three-storey English-style mansion on the outskirts of the capital and an extensive collection of classic cars including a Bentley and an Aston Martin. Russia's 'Z-bloggers', an influential group of war correspondents, have voiced outrage at the scale of corruption reported in the defence establishment while young Russians are dying fighting in Ukraine. One blogger, Alexander Kots, said 13 years was a long sentence but corrupt defence officials should be put on trial in wartime as 'traitors to the Motherland'. Ivanov had since 2016 been responsible at the defence ministry for big logistics contracts including those related to property management, housing and medical care. He was a deputy to Sergei Shoigu, who was replaced as defence minister last year but retains an important role as secretary of President Vladimir Putin's Security Council. Two of Shoigu's other former deputies have been arrested in separate investigations. In April, the former deputy head of the army's general staff, Lieutenant-General Vadim Shamarin, was sentenced to seven years in a penal colony for taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes. The prosecutions signal a drive by Putin to clamp down on graft, inefficiency and waste in Russia's huge military budget as it wages war in Ukraine. Defence spending accounts for 32% of the federal budget this year. Ukraine has also moved to clamp down on military corruption. A deputy defence minister in charge of weapons purchases was sacked in January, while in April authorities accused five suspects of involvement in a procurement scandal.

US bill proposes 500% tariff on India, China over Russia business ties
A proposed US Senate bill, backed by President Donald Trump, could impose 500% tariffs on countries, including India and China, that continue trading with Russia, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said in an interview with ABC to ABC News, Graham stated, "If you're buying products from Russia, and you're not helping Ukraine, then there's a 500% tariff on your products coming into the United States. India and China buy 70% of Putin's oil. They keep his war machine going."advertisementThe bill is reportedly expected to be introduced in August, marking a significant escalation in US efforts to isolate Russia economically. If enacted, the bill could severely impact India and China, the largest buyers of discounted Russian crude. For India, the move also risks tariffs on exports like pharmaceuticals, textiles, and IT is a major buyer of Russian oil, and imported EUR 49 billion worth of crude oil in the third year of the Ukraine invasion. Traditionally, India sourced its oil from the Middle East, but began importing a large volume of oil from Russia soon after the invasion of Ukraine in February development also comes on the heels of the much-expected India-US bilateral trade agreement. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on Tuesday that the trade deal is "very close", even as an Indian delegation continued discussions with US officials in Washington after trade talks hit a deadlock over key agricultural demands, sources told India proposed bill, co-sponsored by Graham and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, reportedly has 84 co-sponsors and aims to pressure nations into halting Russian oil purchases, weakening "Moscow's war economy" and pushing it toward peace negotiations in told ABC News that Trump gave the green light during a golf game. "For the first time yesterday, the President told me I was playing golf with him. He says, 'It's time to move your bill.'"Originally proposed in March, the legislation faced delays after the White House signalled Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration had 'quietly pressured' the Senate to soften the bill by changing mandatory language ("shall") to discretionary ("may").Graham later reportedly proposed a carve-out for countries supporting Ukraine, likely to ease concerns among the US's European allies. "We are going to give President Trump a tool in the toolbox," Graham this bill becomes law, it may alter US's trade relationships with both China and India. Given that the US is India's primary export market, the policy could also trigger substantial economic repercussions and diplomatic tensions.- EndsTune InMust Watch
