Congress rules out leadership change in Karnataka, S Jaishankar slams terrorism at Quad meet
The Congress party in Karnataka is experiencing internal tensions regarding the chief ministership. MLA Iqbal Hussain claims that over 100 of 136 Congress legislators support Deputy CM DK Shivakumar taking over as CM. He alleges that the party high command had agreed to a 2.5-year term each for current CM Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. However, the party's state in-charge Randeep Surjewala has dismissed any talk of leadership change. Siddaramaiah's supporters insist he will complete his full 5-year term until 2028. This situation raises questions about Congress' ability to balance its OBC and Vokkaliga vote bases ahead of future elections. While the party maintains a united front publicly, political analysts suggest underlying differences remain. In other news, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar made a strong statement on terrorism at the Quad Foreign Ministers meeting in Washington DC. He emphasized that the world must display zero tolerance towards terrorism and victims should never be equated with perpetrators. Jaishankar asserted India's right to defend its people against terrorism and expects Quad partners to understand this position. His remarks come in the context of recent experiences and amid reports of Pakistan's army chief being hosted at the White House. The minister also mentioned India's plans to host the next Quad Summit and proposals to make it productive. This statement underscores India's consistent stance on terrorism and sends a clear message to Quad partners, especially the United States, on India's expectations regarding counterterrorism efforts.

NSA slapped on absconding Congress councillor in Indore in ‘love jihad funding' case
Eighteen criminal cases are registered against Qadri in different police stations of the city, officials said. District Magistrate Ashish Singh has issued an order to arrest Congress councillor Anwar Qadri alias Dacoit under the NSA with the aim of maintaining public peace and law and order, he said. Indore, Jul 1 (PTI) The Indore district administration in Madhya Pradesh has issued an arrest order under the stringent National Security Act against a Congress councillor absconding in a case of indulging in a conspiracy to carry out religious conversion through monetary considerations, an official said on Tuesday. One of these cases was registered last month, in which the Congress councillor is accused of being involved in a conspiracy to convert people with the power of money. Officials said that a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) has also announced a reward of Rs 10,000 for the arrest of Qadri in this case. A police official said that two men in the city – Sahil Sheikh and Altaf Shah – had allegedly admitted during their police interrogation that Qadri had given them a total of Rs 3 lakh to convert girls by luring them into love traps and that they had spent this amount on the girls. Sheikh and Shah were arrested in separate cases on the charges of raping two girls and other charges. Based on the statements given by both of them, a case was registered against Qadri for his involvement in a conspiracy to convert people through money. After this case was registered, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had accused the Congress councillor of operating a 'love jihad' gang and demanded his arrest under the NSA. The term 'love jihad' is used by right-wing organisations to allege a concerted effort by Muslim men to convert Hindu women to Islam.
