‘Agents of Russia': BJP MP Nishikant Dubey alleges 150 Congress MPs took Soviet money under HKL Bhagat's leadership
Targeting the Congress party, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Monday cited a 2011 document released by the US intelligence agency CIA, alleging that over 150 Congress MPs were 'funded' by the Soviet Union under the leadership of the late HKL Bhagat.
'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?' Dubey said in a post on the social media platform X.
He added that a group of journalists were 'their agents'. Dubey further claimed that the document he shared contains a list of 16,000 news articles that Russia published.
During the Congress regime, Dubey alleged that 1,100 people from the Russian intelligence agency KGB were in India, and they kept bureaucrats, business organisations, communist parties, and opinion makers in their 'pockets'.
'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,' said the BJP MP.
'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?'
Last week, Dubey slammed the Congress and accused Indira Gandhi of 'murdering' the Constitution made by Baba Saheb Ambedkar by implementing the 42nd Amendment to the Constitution.
The 42nd Amendment, which was enacted during the emergency period, was passed during Indira Gandhi's tenure as prime minister and has been controversial.
'The word secular is already written in the first paragraph of the Constitution; the murder of the Constitution written for Scheduled Castes and Tribes is in the blood of Congress,' Dubey had said in a X post.

Maharashtra: Opposition slams absence of national emblem on entry passes to legislative building
The Opposition slammed the absence of the national emblem on entry passes to the legislative building on Monday, the first day of the monsoon session of the Maharashtra Assembly. Nationalist Congress Party (SP) MLA Jitendra Awhad tried to raise the issue in the House before the Speaker presented a condolence motion but was asked to raise it later. 'I wanted to raise it today itself. However, today's business was limited to passing condolence motion. I wanted to highlight how the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government is undermining the Constitution and national emblem. How can they remove the emblem from the entry pass?' asked Awhad. The opposition said that it will raise the issue aggressively on Tuesday. However, according to sources within the state legislative building, it was an attempt to 'safeguard' the national emblem. 'The entry pass, after its use, either gets thrown into the garbage or torn into pieces. It leads to the insult of the national emblem. Therefore, it was not printed on the entry pass,' said the official. In a similar incident, during the two-day National Conference of Chairpersons of Estimates Committees of Parliament and State / UT Legislatures held in Mumbai. the national emblem was missing, and the Sengol was used instead.

‘Will fight tooth and nail if any word is touched in Constitution': Kharge slams RSS leader over Preamble
The political debate over the words 'secular' and 'socialist' in the Preamble of the Constitution ensued with the Congress reiterating its vehement opposition to a few BJP leaders' suggestions to remove the Emergency-era terms. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday hit out at RSS leader Dattatreya Hosabale calling him a 'man of Manusmriti' and asserted that the grand old party will fight tooth and nail if any word is touched in the Constitution. 'He doesn't want the poor class people to come up. And what was practiced thousands of years ago, he wants the same to continue. That's why he doesn't like socialism, secularism and liberty, equality and fraternity,' Kharge said. Claiming that it was not Hosabale's suggestion to remove the words, rather of the RSS, Kharge said, 'RSS is always against the poor people, the downtrodden and Scheduled Caste and other communities. If they are so interested, they could have removed untouchability. They claim they are the champions of the Hindu religion. If they are so, they should remove untouchability.' 'Instead of that, simply talking, making noise and creating confusion in the country–that is very bad, and we are against it. The party will fight tooth and nail if any word is touched in the Constitution,' Kharge added. The row kicked off after Hosabale made a pitch for a discussion on whether the words 'socialist' and 'secular', inserted in the Preamble of the Constitution during the Emergency days, should continue to remain. He made the remarks during an event on the Emergency and he said, 'the preamble of the Constitution Baba Saheb Ambedkar made never had these words.' 'During the Emergency, when fundamental rights were suspended, Parliament did not work, and judiciary became lame, then these words were added.' The RSS leader said discussions were held on this issue later but no effort was made to remove them from the Preamble. 'So whether they should remain in the Preamble should be considered,' he added. Later, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar, Union Ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Jitendra Singh, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma followed suit questioning the Emergency-era amendment of the Preamble.
