's fiery clash
During a session already filled with tension,
Jagdeep
Dhankhar accused opposition MPs of 'disrespecting the Constitution and democracy.' As Dhankhar called on Jaya Bachchan to speak, she didn't hold back in expressing her discomfort with how she was being addressed.
'I Jaya
Amitabh Bachchan
would like to say that I am an artist, I understand body language, expressions. I am sorry to say that your tone is not acceptable. We are colleagues, you may be sitting on the Chair....'
The comment from Jaya led to an immediate and strong reaction from the Dhankhar. He said, 'Jaya ji take your seat. You have earned a great reputation. An actor is a subject to the director.

Just days before the clash over tone, Jaya Bachchan had also taken issue with something else: being repeatedly called 'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan' in Parliament.

Though she is proud of her husband Amitabh Bachchan's achievements, she didn't hide her annoyance at being defined by his name.
She called it a 'new drama' and made it clear she was uncomfortable with women being constantly identified through their husbands' names, even in official spaces like Parliament.
Responding to this, Dhankhar had explained his side by referring to procedural rules. He said, 'However, Jaya Ji, the name that appears in the election certificate is what is used, and you can get the name changed; there is a provision for that.'

Cong's can't trust own EAM, it trusts some other country: Amit Shah
NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah while making his intervention in the Lok Sabha on Monday slammed the Congress for not trusting the statement of external affairs minister S Jaishankar on Operation Sindoor and instead believing the US President Donald Trump , and said that is why it is sitting in the opposition and will remain there for 20 more years. Shah intervened when the Opposition members were interrupting Jaishankar. "They (opposition) do not have faith in the minister of external affairs who has taken oath as a member of the Indian govt. They trust some other country. I know the importance of foreign (opinion) in their party, but it does not mean that they should impose this view on Parliament," said Shah.

Minister falls prey to Rs 25L land fraud, files FIR
Bhubaneswar: Odisha cabinet minister Krushna Chandra Patra has fallen prey to an alleged land fraud, leading to the registration of a cheating case against a property dealer in Dhenkanal district. According to an FIR filed by Patra at Town police station in Dhenkanal on Saturday, he had transferred Rs 25 lakh to Niranjan Satpathy in 2021 to purchase a plot of land in Banasingh area of Dhenkanal district. Satpathy, however, neither transferred the property nor returned the money to Patra. "Based on my complaint, police are investigating the case. The incident occurred in 2021 when I was not an MLA. I was then working as a director in a company and had planned to purchase land. I gave the money to Satpathy, but he reneged on the land deal," the food supplies & consumer welfare minister said on Monday. The complaint read that Satpathy contacted Patra through an intermediary in 2021, offering land at an attractive price. Satpathy presented land documents and claimed the property belonged to someone who was eager to sell, subsequently collecting Rs 25 lakh from Patra. "As time progressed, Satpathy failed to complete the property registration in my name. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 7 All-Inclusive Destinations That Accept Credit Card Rewards Liseer Learn More Undo Despite repeated enquiries, Satpathy couldn't arrange the land transfer. When I asked for a refund, Satpathy issued two cheques, both of which bounced due to insufficient funds," Patra stated in his FIR, a copy of which was seen by TOI. The minister had sent a legal notice to Satpathy seeking repayment, but to no avail. "Following repeated demands, Satpathy made an undertaking to pay the amount by Nov 30, 2024, but he retracted. Though he promised to refund the entire money by the end of Jan, he failed again," Patra stated in the FIR. Further verification by Patra revealed that Satpathy neither possessed land nor had any arrangements with landowners, indicating his intention to deceive. "He has failed to return my money. This act has caused me financial distress and mental grief. By taking advantage of my simplicity, he cheated me. I request that immediate action be taken against him," the FIR copy read. Dhenkanal town police inspector Prabhat Sahoo said they are verifying the minister's allegation. "We have issued summons to the suspect to face interrogation. Investigation is continuing," Sahoo said.
