'During Attack, MNS Warriors Were Missing': 26/11 Hero Slams Raj Thackeray Over Marathi Row
Urging politicians to separate language from politics, Teotia emphasized that while people take pride in Marathi, it should not be weaponized for political gain. Amid The ongoing Marathi language row, decorated ex-Marine Commando Praveen Kumar Teotia, who played a key role in the counter-terror operations during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, has hit out at Raj Thackeray and his party, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), for politicising language and regional identity. Teotia, a gallantry awardee and survivor of the 2008 terrorist siege at the Taj Hotel, said, 'When the 26/11 terrorist attack happened, their so-called warriors hid and could not be found anywhere. Raj Thackeray himself, along with Uddhav Thackeray and his family, were also missing." He went on to credit the rescue operations to defence personnel largely from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, including himself. 'I handled the situation and faced the terrorists. I am also from UP, from a village of Chaudhary Charan Singh," he said. #WATCH | Delhi: On the Marathi language row, ex-Marine Commando Praveen Kumar Teotia, who led the team during the counter-terrorist operations after the 26/11 attack at Mumbai's Taj Hotel, says, 'When the 26/11 terrorist attack happened, their (MNS) so-called warriors hid and… — ANI (@ANI) July 6, 2025 Urging politicians to separate language from politics, Teotia emphasized that while people take pride in Marathi, it should not be weaponized for political gain. 'If you want to do politics, do it for developmental work and employment. Raj Thackeray and MNS have not done any such work yet," he remarked. His comments add a sharp counterpoint to the recent political rhetoric on Marathi identity, particularly in the backdrop of ongoing regional tensions and linguistic debates in Maharashtra.

Bihar electoral list row: Opposition cries foul, CEC says process fair
Amid rising concerns from opposition parties in poll-bound Bihar, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar has defended the Election Commission's (EC) decision to carry out a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls. Talking to reporters in Firozabad on Sunday, Kumar said, 'Nearly every political party complained about issues in the authenticity of the voter list, and demanded updations... More than 100,000 booth-level officers are working on it with the support of all political parties.' #WATCH | Firozabad, UP: On allegations of Congress on discrepancies in Bihar's voter list, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar says, "As part of law, before every election, the voter list needs to be updated... A detailed investigation of the voter list and all details of… — ANI (@ANI) July 5, 2025 However, several INDIA bloc members, including the Congress, have already raised questions over the timing and possible misuse of the revision process. They allege that the EC's move could lead to the 'willful exclusion' of voters using state machinery. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge described the revision as a 'conspiracy by BJP-RSS to snatch away the voting rights of Dalits and other deprived sections', while Bihar Congress chief Rajesh Kumar accused the EC of incompetence and claimed the process raises suspicions of biased intent. भाजपा ने चुनाव आयोग के सहयोग से, बिहार में करोड़ों लोगों का वोटिंग का अधिकार छीनने का जो मास्टर प्लॉन बनाया था, उसमें अब भाजपा खुद फँसती नज़र आ रही है। पहले दिन से ही, कांग्रेस पार्टी Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls (SIR) के ख़िलाफ़ आवाज़ उठा रही है। जो लोग… — Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) July 6, 2025 Tejashwi Yadav, Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, questioned why such a revision was being conducted solely in Bihar and not nationwide, as was done in 2003. However, the BJP-led NDA has defended the voter list update as a necessary step, accusing the opposition of attempting to find 'excuses' ahead of a 'certain defeat'. EC clarifies no change in instructions In response to the backlash, the EC issued a statement on Sunday clarifying that the SIR is progressing 'smoothly at the ground level' in Bihar and that there has been 'no change in instructions' since the order was issued on June 24. The EC said that voters are allowed to submit their documents 'anytime before July 25, 2025' and will have another opportunity during the 'Claims & Objections' period. It urged the public to 'beware of statements being made by a few persons... attempting to confuse the public with their incorrect and misleading statements.' Revision based on demographic changes According to the EC, the special revision exercise is essential to ensure accuracy in the voters' list due to multiple factors — rapid urbanisation, high migration, a surge in first-time voters, non-reporting of deaths, and inclusion of foreign illegal immigrants. The last similar exercise in Bihar was conducted in 2003. The Commission added that the names of existing electors who submit enumeration forms will be included in the draft electoral rolls to be released on August 1, 2025. Additional time will be provided for document submission, reinforcing that the process is in line with its order dated June 24. SC to hear petitions on July 10 The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear petitions challenging the EC's decision to conduct the revision. A partial working day Bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Joymalya Bagchi took up submissions from senior advocates including Kapil Sibal, Abhishek Singhvi, and Gopal Sankaranarayanan. Sibal, appearing for RJD MP Manoj Jha, argued that the EC's timeline was unfeasible, given that elections are likely in November. Singhvi pointed out that approximately 40 million of Bihar's 80 million voters will need to submit documents by July 25. Sankaranarayanan added that even Aadhaar and voter ID cards were not being accepted during the process. While the Bench agreed to list the matter for July 10, Justice Dhulia noted that the current timeline 'does not have sanctity' since elections are yet to be officially notified. [With PTI inputs]
