Emergency row: Congress leader Muraleedharan urges Tharoor to choose his path, if he feels suffocated in party
The criticism comes a day after Tharoor penned an article in a Malayalam daily that questioned former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's imposition of the Emergency — a move that has triggered backlash within the party ranks.
Muraleedharan, addressing reporters, called on the Thiruvananthapuram MP to decide whether he wants to continue within the Congress or pursue an independent political path. 'There are two paths before him,' Muraleedharan said. 'If he feels constrained in the present set-up, he should step down from the posts entrusted to him and move forward on a political path of his choice.'

VP election: Uphill task for opposition in contest, bloc may field 'ideological' face
NEW DELHI: The opposition may field a strong "ideological" face as candidate in the vice-presidential election, as it looks to portray a strong contrast with the governing BJP's nominee to send out a political message across the country. Ahead of discussions on picking a candidate, it is felt that since winnability is an uphill task due to opposition's weaker numerical strength in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, INDIA bloc should use the vice-president (VP) contest to send out an unambiguous signal to its core constituencies of marginalised sections, including backwards and minorities, farmers, and intellectuals and the civil society. INDIA bloc is scheduled to meet Thursday (Aug 7), where Bihar assembly election is likely to be an issue as also the special intensive revision of the state's electoral rolls. The meeting, sources said, may also initiate a preliminary discussion on the likely candidate for the VP polls. Unity on consensus candidate will be challenge for the opposition camp At the meet, Rahul Gandhi may give a presentation on Congress 's "research" on voters' lists which he has said proves beyond doubt that the rolls are being tampered with to help BJP. The VP election has come prematurely after the controversial resignation by Jagdeep Dhankhar last month following an alleged confrontation with the govt over his decision to accept the notices to remove Justices Shekhar Yadav and Yashwant Varma. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge Saturday alleged that Dhankhar was biased against the opposition, but he took one independent decision and it led to his downfall, as he accused the Modi govt of pressuring constitutional authorities. The opposition has been accusing the governing BJP of attacking constitutional values, secularism, fair elections, marginalised sections, besides weakening the economy and endangering the future of the youth. Some feel that an ideal VP candidate from the opposition camp should be able to represent these issues and send out a strong message. Such a move by the opposition, insiders argue, will hammer home the ideological distinction between BJP and the opposition parties, and help rally the base as the latter looks to build upon its gains in the 2024 LS polls. However, ensuring unity with a consensus candidate will also be a challenge for the opposition camp, where many partners compete against each other and are antagonistic. In the first vice presidential election held after BJP assumed office in 2014, Congress and opposition had fielded Mahatma Gandhi's grandson and known intellectual Gopal Krishna Gandhi to take on BJP's M Venkaiah Naidu in 2017. However, when the opposition witnessed fissures in its ranks in 2022, there was a paucity of candidates and Congress was forced to field a party leader in Margaret Alva to take on BJP candidate Dhankhar.

Himanta calls Rahul ‘traitor', slams Priyanka's proposed visit to Dhubri
Guwahati: Assam CM on Sunday called the Lok Sabha's leader of opposition, , a 'traitor', alleging that the Congress leader was siding with Bangladeshi and Pakistani Muslims. Speaking on the sidelines of a campaign rally, ahead of the Bodoland Territorial Council election, in lower Assam's Tamulpur, Sarma said, "Rahul Gandhi is an anti-India person. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He is only with Bangladeshi and Pakistani Muslims, not with Indian Hindus and Indian Muslims. He is a pakka deshdrohi (traitor)." Sarma's comments came on the back of queries put forward to the CM after reports emerged that Rahul and were likely to visit Assam. While Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Gaurav Gogoi said Rahul and Priyanka's visit would soon materialise, with the latter keen on visiting lower Assam's Dhubri district, Sarma launched a scathing attack on Priyanka, saying that even women from self-help groups (SHG) were more advanced than her. "I don't have any objection to Priyanka Gandhi coming to Assam. But our women from self-help groups are a hundred times more advanced than Priyanka Gandhi. Our women, especially those working with SHGs, will defeat Priyanka Gandhi in every sphere. She won't even be in the contest," Sarma said. The CM added that Assamese women were far more advanced and were experts in preparing traditional delicacies like laroo and pitha, and transplanting paddy, besides taking care of the education of their children. Sarma also took a dig at Priyanka, questioning her intent to visit Dhubri. "People of a particular religion attract the . They think Assam means Dhubri. I have no problem with their Dhubri visit, but any person, who's coming to Assam, should first say that he or she will come to Kamakhya, Batadrava, Charaideo Moidams and Rangghar," Sarma said. "Congress only recognises a section of the religious minority in Dhubri. They do not understand the love of any other people," he added. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Earlier in the day, Gogoi said several senior national leaders will visit Assam from time to time and interact with the people, as part of their bigger strategy, ahead of the 2026 assembly polls. "Priyanka Gandhi has informed us that she wants to visit Assam and meet the people. Last time, she went to Dhubri and promised people there that she will come again, if Congress wins (in the Lok Sabha election)," Gogoi added. While Congress managed to win three out of 14 Lok Sabha seats in Assam, Congress's Rakibul Hussain won in Dhubri by a huge margin of over 10 lakh votes.

Congress to stage protest outside Assembly against slum demolitions
The Congress's Delhi unit on Sunday said it will stage a protest outside the Assembly on the first day of the Monsoon Session on Monday, primarily against the demolition drives carried out in slum clusters across the city. The party said it will raise other issues such as the 'deteriorating law and order' situation, the 'false promise' of ₹2,500 per month to the women, and waterlogging. It will also protest against the school education Bill for being 'anti-parent and anti-education'. Delhi Congress president Devender Yadav said party members met slum dwellers, who he said are living in 'constant fear of being displaced'. 'The BJP government, since it came to power, has already displaced 15,000 families,' the Delhi Congress chief said, adding that slum dwellers should not be displaced without alternative arrangements even if there is a need to relocate them. 'After Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of demolition of JJ Clusters in the Lok Sabha, the Chief Minister of Delhi [Rekha Gupta], under pressure, said that not a single slum in Delhi will be demolished, but on the other hand, asserted that the slums along the railway lines cannot be saved. He [Rahul Gandhi] urged the Delhi government to clarify its intentions towards the slum dwellers, instead of playing with the lives of the poor people,' Mr. Yadav said. Alleging that the Arvind Kejriwal government has locked thousands of flats constructed by the Congress under the Rajiv Rattan Housing Scheme, aimed at providing better living conditions for the poor, for 11 years, Mr. Yadav said, 'Those houses should be repaired and allotted soon to the residents of slums.' Meanwhile, on Saturday, Ms. Gupta inspected government flats built for economically weaker sections (EWS) in 2011 in Sultanpuri, which are in a dilapidated condition. She said that the government is working to meet the demand for one million houses.
