On Cam: Dramatic Clash Over 'Gaza Hunger'; Cops Drag Israelis As Anger Against Netanyahu Erupts
During a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stepped in to ease a Hindi translator's struggle while translating Starmer's remarks. Modi calmly told the translator, 'Use English words in between… don't worry,' and reassured him with a warm 'No problem' when he apologised. The light-hearted moment occurred after India and the UK signed a long-awaited Free Trade Agreement aimed at enhancing bilateral trade and investment. PM Modi also used a cricket analogy, saying the India-UK partnership is like a game played with a straight bat—solid, passionate, and always aiming for high scores.#modiukvisit #indiaukfta #tradedeal #modi #starmer #modistarmer #cricketdiplomacy #bilateralrelations #freetrade #economiccooperation #diplomacy #globalpartnerships #viral #trending #viralnews #toi #toibharat

INDIA bloc continues protest against Bihar's SIR, Congress leaders join in
Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday joined the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc MPs in protesting against the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in poll-bound Bihar, and also the "arrest of labourers in BJP-ruled states" while being outside Parliament at Makar Dwar. Sonia Gandhi joined the protest, holding the large banner 'SIR-attack on Democracy,' and stood beside her daughter and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi. Other leaders like Pramod Tiwari and Manickam Tagore were also present. The INDIA bloc protest was also joined by Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs protesting against the "arrest of labourers in BJP-ruled states." The party has been separately protesting for a few days against the alleged mistreatment of Bengalis in other states, however today, they joined the larger protest while the other MPs held caricature posters criticising the Election Commission (EC). The SIR cartoon portrayed a man labelled "EC" dressed in uniform and shackled, holding what resembles an EVM (Electronic Voting Machine), with a speech bubble saying "YES SIR." The tweet was captioned with a single, sharp hashtag: #SIR, a clear reference to the recent allegations by opposition parties that the ECI is functioning under pressure from the central government, especially in light of developments in Bihar. MPs of the INDIA bloc have been protesting against the voter roll revision on since the commencement of the monsoon session on July 21 both in and outside of Parliament. Earlier on July 29, multiple leaders, including Congress MPs Gaurav Gogoi, Manickam Tagore, Hibi Eden, DMK MP Kanimozhi, JMM MP Mahua Maji, RJD MP Manoj Jha protested in the ongoing rain ahead of the commencement of today's session in Parliament, holding up posters and demanding a halt to the exercise. Congress MP Manickam Tagore posted a cartoon on X, mocking the Election Commission of India (ECI) in connection with the recent controversy over the SIR. Meanwhile, the Lok Sabha List of Business for Wednesday states that Union Home Minister Amit Shah will move a resolution to extend President's rule in the ethnic violence-hit state of Manipur for six months. The President's rule was imposed in Manipur on February 13, days after N Biren Singh resigned from the Chief Minister's position. Under the motion, the President's rule will be extended till February 13, 2026, after the Parliament's concession.

'India-US ties go beyond trade deal or ceasefire claims': Govt sources on why India didn't call Trump 'a liar'
Regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's call for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to declare US President Donald Trump a 'liar', sources in the government have said that the India-US relationship goes beyond the disagreement over the ceasefire and trade talks and should not be compromised on these issues. read more Sources in the Union government have stressed that the India-US relationship goes beyond the disagreement over the ceasefire in the India-Pakistan conflict earlier this year and cannot be compromised over the issue. Since May when India and Pakistan clashed for four days before reaching a ceasefire on May 10, US President Donald Trump has claimed that he brokered the ceasefire between the two countries. India, on the other hand, has maintained that Pakistan made a request after four days of battering that India granted. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Speaking in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi of the Congress party said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should publicly declare Trump a 'liar' over his false claims. Notably, while the government has not used the word 'liar', it has repeated multiple times that the ceasefire was a result of India accepting Pakistan's request and no third-party intervention was at play there. 'If Narendra Modi has even 50 per cent of the courage of Indira Gandhi, he should declare in the House that Trump is lying about the ceasefire,' said Rahul. On the intervening night of May 6-7, India launched Operation Sindoor and struck terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK). It was launched in response to the attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in which terrorists killed 26 people on April 22. After Pakistan responded to Indian strikes with attacks on Indian civilian and military sites, India struck Pakistani military sites, including airbases and air defence units and, after four days of battering, Pakistan reached out to India with a request for a ceasefire on May 10. India granted Pakistan the request. India-US ties go beyond disagreements, say sources Sources in the Union government have said that the India-US relationship goes beyond ongoing differences, such as differences over the ceasefire in the India-Pakistan conflict and ongoing trade talks. Even as the August 1 deadline for a trade deal is just around the corner, India and the United States have not been able to reach any deal. It is believed that the Trump administration's refusal to respect Indian red lines about sensitive sectors of dairy and agriculture and genetically modified (GM) crops is the main barrier in the two sides reaching a deal. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump on Tuesday said that India will likely face 20-25 per cent tariff starting August 1, which will be much higher than the 15 per cent tariff that he has imposed on the European Union (EU) and Japan that he has struck deals with. Sources said that the United States has so far stood with India in disputes with China, such as during the Doklam standoff of 2017, and such an important relationship cannot be compromised on one or two differences. Moreover, sources stressed that the prime minister has publicly declared that no leader asked India to stop the war. Similarly, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that Modi and Trump never had the discussion about stopping the war. Sources further said that the Congress party has been in power before and it should know how governments function, suggesting that the party should realise the kind of words that the government would use to assert disagreement with the United States.
