Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday questioned US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of brokering peace between India and Pakistan, asking, 'Why is he saying it so many times?' Earlier in the day, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised the Modi government for not refuting Trump's claims, which he said have now been made 25 times in 73 days. Ramesh also slammed the Centre for failing to give a fixed date for discussing the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent Operation Sindoor in Parliament.#rahulgandhi #donaldtrump #ceasefireclaims #indiapakistan #operationsindoor #pahalgamattack #jairamramesh #indianpolitics #loksabha #modigovt

Bina MLA meets BJP chief amid row over allegiance
Bhopal: Congress MLA from Bina Nirmala Sapre, who has openly supported the BJP since last year, finds herself politically isolated as both parties distance themselves from her, and discontent brews within the ruling party's local workers. On Tuesday, Sapre met new BJP state president Hemant Khandelwal in Bhopal following complaints by BJP urban local body members and party workers in her Bina constituency over her functioning. Earlier this week, several BJP leaders had earlier approached the party headquarters, questioning whether Sapre was acting as their representative or still aligned with the Congress. On May 5 last year, during the last lap of Lok Sabha election campaign in the state, Sapre joined the BJP's public meeting in Rahatgarh in the presence of CM Mohan Yadav. She campaigned for the BJP Lok Sabha candidate Lata Wankhede for the next five months. However, the BJP officially did not give her primary membership though Sapre claimed she shifted her loyalty from the Congress to BJP. Now, BJP local leaders and workers have complained about her way of working to Khandelwal. Following this, Khandelwal summoned her to Bhopal, and they had a closed-door meeting on Tuesday. Party sources claimed that she does not have the support from the BJP's workers in the constituency. And the party officially does not accept her as a member. Speaking to TOI, BJP state spokesman Ajay Singh Yadav said, "Nirmala Sapre left the Congress because she was dissatisfied with that party. It is true she contested the 2023 assembly elections on a Congress ticket, but she must decide her future. A new state party president has taken charge and that is the reason she came to meet him. It was a regular meeting." No matter how much the BJP tries to camouflage the volatile situation in Bina constituency, the truth remains that Sapre is an MLA with no party supporting her. Since she left the Congress, the opposition party has written to the Speaker for her disqualification from the state assembly while the BJP denies having given her primary membership. Technically she is still a Congress MLA with no acceptance from the BJP. Ruling party workers have also taken their grievances against Sapre to the chief minister.

New warning for green card holders in US: Always carry THIS at all times with you, CBP reminds
CBP issued a reminder to Green Card holders asking them to always carry the document with them. The Customs and Border Police issued an important reminder the all green card holders that they have to carry at all times with them the proof of their alien registration as mandated by the law. "Failing to do so can lead to a misdemeanor and fines if you are stopped by federal law enforcement," the reminder issued Wednesday said. This is not a new law and non-citizens are required to carry proof of their legal status in the US always but the Trump administration's reminder shows that the crackdown on green card holders, lawful permanent residents, will continue and just because they are legally residing in the country, it does not mean they will not be punished. The State Department earlier made it clear that permanent residents can also be deported if they are found flouting laws. — CBP (@CBP) What are Alien Registration Documents ? Alien Registration Number (A-Number) This is a unique 7–9 digit number assigned to non-citizens by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is used to track immigration records, applications, and status. This commonly starts with an 'A'. Green Card Officially known as Form I-551, this is issued to lawful permanent residents. The Donald Trump administration has broken the conception that Green Card holders can't be arrested and their citizenship can't be revoked. A Green Card includes a photo, the A-number, category of admission and expiry date. This is proof of the right to live and work in the US permanently. Employment Authorization Document Form I-7666 is also known as a work permit which is issued to non-citizens who are temporarily authorized to work. This contains the A number, photo and validity dates. Arrival-departure record I-94 documents a non-citizen's entry and authorized stay. This document includes the A-number for certain visa holders. This is issued at ports of entry or online for air travelers. Under US immigration law, most non-citizens over age 14 who stay in the U.S. for more than 30 days must carry their alien registration documentation at all times.

For 5 years now, MP Assembly remains without a dy speaker
Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh Assembly has been without a deputy speaker for the past five years as the monsoon session is set to commence on July 28, 2023. Following the November 2018 assembly elections, the Congress party which was in majority refused to part with the deputy speaker's post in January 2019, breaking a 29-year tradition of allocating the post to the opposition. When the BJP regained power in March 2020, the deputy speaker's post has remained vacant since then. Heena Likhiram Kavre was the last deputy speaker of the state assembly when Congress was in power until March 2020. A deputy speaker not only preside over sessions in the Speaker's absence but also heads important House committees, coordinates between the media gallery advisory committee and legislators, and lead the committee for revising MLAs' pay and allowances. According to the MP Assembly's tradition established in the 1990s, the Speaker is appointed by the ruling party while the deputy speaker's post is given to the opposition. However, with 109 MLAs, the BJP sought to demonstrate its strength in the House in 2019 and called for an election for the Speaker's post. While the position was awarded to Congress, the BJP nominated Jagdish Dewra, the current deputy chief minister, for the deputy speaker's role. The then Speaker conducted a voice vote to elect Heena as deputy speaker. Nevertheless, the BJP returned to power in March 2020 after Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the party with his supporter MLAs, leaving the Deputy Speaker position vacant since then. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Officials in the state secretariat stated that it is likely the longest period that the MP Assembly has been without a deputy speaker. The BJP returned to power for the fifth time in Madhya Pradesh, winning 163 of the 230 seats in the House in the November 2023 assembly elections. The appointment of the deputy speaker depends on the ruling party's discretion to assign it to its own members, give it to the opposition, or leave it vacant. The position has remained vacant for the past 20 months, and the BJP appears inclined to maintain the status quo on the issue in the House.
