IndiaTimes Wednesday, 6 December 2023
Late former President Pranab Mukherjee, once a close confidant of Indira Gandhi, believed that Narendra Modi is the only Prime Minister after Indira who can feel the pulse of the people accurately. In her upcoming book, Pranab's daughter Sharmishtha narrates their conversations, including his desire to be the PM, his view of Rahul Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi's decision to make Manmohan Singh the PM. Pranab also expressed doubts about Rahul's political maturity and advised him to gain experience.

Trump Kill Bid: How a Series of Security Lapses, Failures Led to Near Fatal Shooting | Details

Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Crooks fired five shots from an AR-15 rifle from a 120-yard distance. The incident highlighted critical security lapses compared to the SPG protocols for India's PM Modi, which include limited exposure and thorough sweeps. Footage revealed disorganised Secret Service personnel, insufficient Bullet-resistant shields, and Sniper protection. This event recalls the assassination of Japan's former PM Shinzo Abe and underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive review of security measures for political candidates. #DonaldTrump #TrumpWeapon #AR15 #USGunLaws #USSecurityService #SecurityServiceChief #KimberlyCheatle #TrumpAssassinationAttempt #TrumpShot #DonaldTrumpShot #DonaldTrumpAssassination #AssassinationDonaldTrump #DonaldTrumpShotCampaign #DonaldTrumpEar #DonaldTrumpBullet #USNews #BreakingNews #InternationalNews #DonaldTrumpAssassination #biden #Trump #PoliticalViolence #NationalUnity #USPresident #breakingNews #Rehobothbeach #DonaldTrump #SecretService #StateAgencies ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.334~

LS Elections 2024: Amritpal Singh Wins From Khadoor Sahib, Lawyer Demands His Release

In Dibrugarh, Assam, the lawyer representing Amritpal Singh, the imprisoned leader of 'Waris Punjab De' and elected Member of Parliament from Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha constituency, Rajdev Singh Khalsa, outlines their legal strategy, which primarily focuses on securing bail for Singh. Khalsa asserts that the government has no choice but to release Singh, emphasising his client's efforts in combating drug abuse in Punjab. He contends that Singh's arrest was deemed unlawful and unethical by the public, highlighting widespread support for his cause. Jailed Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh won from Punjab’s Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha seat on Tuesday against Congress’ Kulbir Singh Zira by over 1.5 lakh votes, as per the Election Commission. Singh fought as an Independent candidate. Singh is ‘Waris Punjab De’ chief and is currently lodged in Dibrugarh jail in Assam under the National Security Act (NSA). Sarabjeet Singh Khalsa who is the elder son of Beant Singh, one of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assassins is leading in Faridkot. In April 2023, there was a massive manhunt launched for Amritpal Singh that led to the arrest of 300 youngsters, many of whom had interacted with him and committed no crimes. #loksabharesult #AmritpalSingh #AmritpalSinghWins #KhadoorSahibSeat #CongressPressConference #RahulGandhi #Modi #Adani #StockMarket #CongressPressConference #Congress #CongressCelebrations #RahulGandhi #SP #UPResult #AkhileshYadav #loksabharesult2024 #electionresulttoday #2024elections #2024loksabhaelection2024 #2024electionresult #chunavresult #loksabhaelection2024 #loksabha2024 #bjp #congress #pmmodi #narendramodi #rahulgandhi #electionbreaking #electionnews #election2024

'Most Vicious...': Manmohan Singh's Stinging Attack On Narendra Modi | Watch

In a strongly worded letter to Punjab voters, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using “hateful, unparliamentary terms to target either a specific section of society or the opposition.” Singh's letter comes ahead of the seventh phase of the Lok Sabha polls scheduled for June 1, urging voters to protect democracy and the Constitution from what he describes as a despotic regime attempting to impose dictatorship in India. Singh criticised Modi for indulging in what he called the most vicious form of hate speeches, which he deemed purely divisive. He accused Modi of lowering the dignity of public discourse and the office of the prime minister. #ManmohanSingh #NarendraModi #Elections2024 #LokSabhaPolls2024 #PoliticalAttack #IndianPolitics #ModiVsSingh #ElectionCampaign #PoliticalRivalry #2024Elections #IndiaVotes #StingingAttack #ManmohanVsModi #ElectionFever #PoliticalDebate ~PR.152~ED.103~GR.124~HT.96~
