IndiaTimes Friday, 11 August 2023
The Congress on Friday dug out an old letter written by veteran BJP leader L K Advani in March 2012 in which he had asked the then prime minister Manmohan Singh to include the leaders of opposition in the panel to select members of the constitutional bodies. The Congress censured the Modi dispensation for dropping the chief justice of India (CJI) from the panel to select the chief election commissioner (CEC) and election commissioners (ECs).

Priyanka Gandhi slams PM Modi for calling Rahul Gandhi 'Shehzada', calls him 'Shahenshah' | Oneindia

In a scathing critique of previous Congress administrations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lambasted their approach to dealing with Pakistan's terrorism. Modi likened their efforts to sending "love letters" to Pakistan in a bid for peace, only to witness a surge in terrorist activities as a result. His remarks underscored the need for a more assertive stance against terrorism, emphasising the imperative of safeguarding national security. Furthermore, Modi alleged that Pakistani leaders are actively advocating for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to ascend to India's prime ministership post-election. However, Modi firmly asserted that India, in its pursuit of strength and security, unequivocally demands a resilient and steadfast government. #PriyankaGandhi #PMModi #RahulGandhi #Shehzada #Shahenshah #PoliticalCriticism #IndianPolitics #LeadershipDebate #PoliticalRhetoric #ElectionDynamics #LokSabhaElections #LokSabhaPolls #Elections2024 #LokSabhaElections2024 #LSPolls2024 ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.121~

Lawyers’ letter to CJI: PM Modi reacts, calls ‘bullying’ typical of Congress culture | Oneindia

After approximately 600 lawyers sent a letter to the Chief Justice of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the Congress party on Thursday. "Using intimidation tactics is typical of Congress culture. Five decades ago, they advocated for a 'committed judiciary' – they shamelessly demand commitment from others for their own selfish interests but refuse to commit to the nation," the PM stated in a post on X. "It's no surprise that 1.4 billion Indians are turning away from them," he concluded. #DYChandrachud #HarishSalve #Pinkyanand #VestedGroup #SupremeCourtofIndia #Letter #SupremeCourt #IndianLaw #LokSabhaElections #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.102~

As the historic city of Agra gears up for the third phase of the Lok Sabha polls in 2024, the Muslim community here is voicing its concerns and aspirations.
