New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended heartfelt greetings on Thursday on the occasion of Guru Purnima, a festival dedicated to expressing reverence for spiritual and academic mentors. The day, deeply rooted in Indian tradition, honours the pivotal role played by gurus in guiding individuals from ignorance to enlightenment.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah also greeted citizens on the auspicious day, highlighting the enduring significance of the guru-disciple bond in Indian culture. "On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima, I pay my respects to all teachers. In Indian culture, the guru-disciple relationship is not only a medium of education and initiation but also a lifelong guide," he wrote on X. "Throughout our history, gurus have always worked to instil moral values, knowledge, conduct, culture, and a sense of loyalty towards the motherland in their disciples. On this occasion, I extend my best wishes to all teachers contributing to nation-building," Shah added. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also extended his greetings and reflected on the spiritual importance of the day. "By the grace of the Guru, the disciple progresses from ignorance to self-realisation, from darkness to light," he posted on X. "With heartfelt reverence, we honour the great Gurus who shape the disciple's personality with values, service, and truth, connecting them to the highest ideals of life on the sacred occasion of Guru Purnima!" he added. CM Yogi also paid tribute at the 'samadhis' of his revered gurus, Mahant Avaidyanath and Mahant Digvijaynath. Celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains, Guru Purnima is also known as Vyasa Purnima, marking the birth anniversary of sage Veda Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata and compiler of the Vedas. Across the country, the day is being observed with spiritual activities, including Guru puja, prayers, and teachings.

Trump slaps 50% tariffs on Brazil over Bolsonaro trial; Lula responds
US President Donald Trump has imposed sweeping new tariffs on Brazil, citing grievances over the treatment of President Jair Bolsonaro and alleged censorship actions by Brazil's Supreme Court. In a sharply worded letter addressed to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Trump announced that, effective August 1, 2025, all Brazilian exports to the US would face a flat 50 per cent tariff—separate from existing sectoral tariffs. Trump called Bolsonaro a 'Highly Respected Leader' and condemned the ongoing legal proceedings against him as 'a Witch Hunt', demanding the trial end immediately. He also accused Brazil of undermining free elections and targeting free speech, pointing to secret censorship orders allegedly sent by the Brazilian Supreme Court to US-based social media platforms. Trump has announced a 50 per cent tariff on all Brazilian exports to the US from August 1, 2025, citing the trial of President Jair Bolsonaro and alleged censorship by Brazil's Supreme Court. In response, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defended Brazil's sovereignty and judicial independence, calling the claims false and warning of reciprocal measures if tariffs are unilaterally imposed. 'These censorship orders threaten platforms with millions in fines and eviction from the Brazilian market,' Trump wrote. 'We must move away from a trade relationship that has long been unfair and non-reciprocal.' Trump clarified that the tariffs would not apply to Brazilian companies that establish production operations within the US. In a firm response, President Lula reaffirmed Brazil's sovereignty and judicial independence. 'Brazil will not accept any form of tutelage,' he stated. 'The judicial proceedings fall exclusively under the jurisdiction of Brazil's institutions.' Lula rejected Trump's claims of a trade imbalance, noting that US government data reflects a $410 billion surplus in its trade with Brazil over the past 15 years. He also defended Brazil's digital regulation efforts, stressing that freedom of expression must not be conflated with hate speech or illegal content. Lula concluded by warning that any unilateral US tariff hikes would be met under Brazil's Economic Reciprocity Law, asserting that 'sovereignty, respect, and the unwavering defense of the interests of the Brazilian people' will guide its international stance.

Bharat Bandh evokes mixed response
Tirupati: The nationwide general strike 'Bharat Bandh' called by 10 national trade unions against Modi government's 'pro-corporate policies' and restoration of labour rights evoked mixed response in pilgrim city on Wednesday. All the nationalised banks and insurance major LIC remained closed while contract workers working in government departments, universities and TTD have attended their duties. The farmers and rural workers in all the mandals in the district held rallies in support of general strike. The members of trade unions AITUC, IFTU and activists of Left parties CPI and CPM took out rallies in the streets which culminated into a meeting at Nalugukalla Mandapam in the city. Shops also remained closed in the morning. However train services, RTC services and private transport including buses to Tirumala functioned normally. Anganwadi centres and PHCs in most areas did not function with the employees joining the strike. Leaders of Left parties CPI and CPM K Narayana and Kandarapu Murali addressed the meeting at Nalugukalla Mandapam and lambasted the Central government for suppressing labour rights which were achieved after a prolonged struggle by the employees and workers in the country. The leaders vowed that the fight will continue till the Modi government bows down and restores labour rights including the right to strike to form associations by employees. The leaders alleged that the Modi government was more interested to protect the interest of corporates and not the people at large. In the meanwhile, CITU general secretary Kandarapu Murali in a statement claimed the general strike was a success in Tirupati district. He saud a large number of employees, workers and farmers took to streets in support of the general strike demanding the Centre to take concrete measures to check rising prices and stop pro-corporate policies.
