Delhi Confidential: Suitable space
A WEEK after Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi conceded that the Congress 'fell short' of understanding the issues faced by OBCs, and that the party would work at 'double speed' for the community going forward, the OBC department of AICC has got an electric display board proclaiming the department and its headquarters. The design of the board has become a topic of discussion at the party office as it features symbols like the Ashoka Chakra and the Gandhian Charkha. The department is looking for a suitable space to install the board so it can grab maximum eyeballs. Taste Of Bengal TMC MPs are 'delighted' with a change of menu at the Parliament cafeterias. The reason: 'grilled Bhetki fish'. Sharing the 'good news', MPs of the West Bengal-based party said 'grilled Bhetki' was a welcome change at the Parliament cafeterias as so far only Basa fish was served, which most Bengali fish eaters found 'flavourless'. The rate of the Bhetki dish — `350 per plate — also meant TMC MPs could enjoy it at an 'affordable price'. Surprise Invite Uttar Pradesh Horticulture Minister (Independent Charge) Dinesh Pratap Singh has written to PM Narendra Modi, inviting him to lay the foundation stone of the International Potato Centre's (CIP) South Asia Regional Centre (CSARC) in Agra. The letter has taken several officials at the Centre by surprise. The Union Cabinet had only approved the proposal to establish CSARC on June 25, and Singh sent the letter to the PM the very day. The minister extended the invitation even before the formal MoU between the Union Ministry of Agriculture and CIP was signed, and without any formal proposal yet from the UP Chief Minister's Office for such a ceremony, it is learnt.

Delhi Police Reject Mamata Banerjees Linguistic Terror Charge; Says Video Shared By CM Fabricated, Baseless
A day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee shared a video of a woman on X claiming that the lady and her child were subjected to brutality only because they speak Bengali, the Delhi Police has now come up with a rebuttal, saying that the video was fabricated on the demand of a TMC politician. DCP East Delhi, Abhishek Dhania, said that the Delhi Police took cognisance of the video posted by West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on 'X' where she claimed that a Bengali-speaking woman and her child were assaulted by the Delhi Police. "Right after receiving the information, we initiated the inquiry and discovered that the lady's name is Sanjanu Parveen... During the interrogation, she said that on 26th July, around 10:30 pm, four policemen who were in their civil clothes came to their house and took them away to a secluded area where they beat them up and demanded Rs. 25,000 from them, which they gave them," said the DCP. Elaborating on the investigation, DCP East Dhania said, "Understanding the seriousness of the situation, we have formed multiple teams since last night. Based on technical and local intelligence, as well as CCTV footage, we have gathered various evidence. Based on that evidence, we found out that the whole story told by this lady is the interrogation, she mentioned that her relative, who lives in the Malda district of West Bengal, is a political worker, and on his request, she made this baseless video and shared it with him." According to Delhi Police, the woman shared the video with her relative, who later circulated the video in the local media of Bengal. "After a thorough investigation and inquiry, we have concluded that the entire video is baseless and fabricated. This video has been deliberately circulated on social media to tarnish the image of the Delhi Police. Further investigation is still going on," said the Delhi Police. Atrocious!! Terrible!!
