    Priyanka Gandhi Calls Modi’s Speech Boring and Lacks New Ideas”

    On Saturday, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra called Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s long speech in the Lok Sabha boring. She said listening to him felt like being stuck in a long math class at school. She also criticized his 11 promises, saying they are empty. Priyanka asked why the BJP won’t talk about the Adani issue if they truly don’t tolerate corruption. She told reporters that the PM didn’t say anything new and it felt like a blast from the past. She noticed JP Nadda acting overly attentive, while Amit Shah looked like he was falling asleep. Priyanka hoped for something fresh and exciting from the Prime Minister’s speech.

    MP Takes on Mumbai Again: T20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Final Preview

    Mumbai is getting ready to face Madhya Pradesh (MP) again in a big cricket final! Coach Chandrakant Pandit, who used to coach Mumbai, is now leading MP. They previously beat Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy final in June 2022, and now they’ll meet again in the T20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy final this Sunday at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

    Mumbai’s team is filled with star players, including T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, and powerful openers like Prithvi Shaw and Shivam Dube. But the spotlight is on Ajinkya Rahane, who has been on fire with the bat, scoring 432 runs and hitting five fifties in just seven innings. His last few scores were 95, 84, and 98!

    However, Coach Pandit believes that in T20 cricket, it’s all about who performs better on the day. He respects Mumbai’s players but feels confident in his team’s preparation.

    Madhya Pradesh’s strength is their versatility. All-rounder Venkatesh Iyer has scored well, with at least 16 runs in every game, and he has remained not out in five matches. The team has been shifting players around based on what’s needed in each game, which Coach Pandit thinks is a positive sign.

    While Pandit is focused on how to outsmart his opponents, he is also proud of Rahane’s impressive form, which is good news for his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders.

    Iranian-American Journalist Gets 10-Year Sentence for U.S. Ties

    An Iranian-American journalist named Reza Valizadeh has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. A court in Iran found him guilty of working with a government that Iran considers hostile, which is the United States. Valizadeh used to work for Voice of America’s Farsi service, which is funded by the U.S. government, and also for Radio Farda.

    His lawyer, Mohammad Hossein Aghasi, said the court’s decision can be challenged in an appeal within 20 days. He mentioned he has not been able to meet Valizadeh since the court’s decision was made public.

    Before his sentencing, Valizadeh posted messages saying he returned to Iran after being away for 13 years, without any security guarantee. He arrived in Tehran in March 2024. Aghasi mentioned that Valizadeh was free for the first six months after his return, but was then arrested.

    This news comes after another former journalist, Kianoosh Sanjari, died by jumping from a building in Iran. He protested against the country’s leader and demanded the release of four prisoners.

    Additionally, years of unrest in Iran have continued, especially following the 2022 protests after the death of Mahsa Amini. The economy is also suffering, with many people struggling due to the weak rial currency.

    Chirag Paswan Challenges Rahul Gandhi on Caste Census and Constitution Speech

    Union Minister Chirag Paswan recently criticized Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, for his comments about the Constitution during a speech. Paswan claims that Rahul and his family have only enjoyed the benefits of being in power and have not helped the country. He pointed out that the Congress party has been in charge for most of India’s history but did not conduct a caste census. Paswan asked, “What were you doing all these years?” He also mentioned that Rahul’s opinions seem to change now that he is in the opposition.

    On the other hand, Rahul Gandhi accused the central government of taking opportunities away from young people and giving them to big businesses. During a talk celebrating the 75th anniversary of India’s Constitution, he compared today’s political issues to the famous battle from the Mahabharata. He insists that the opposition stands up for the values of the Constitution and mentioned important leaders from different states in India who represent those values.

    Rahul promised that if a caste census is conducted, it will lead to better development in India. He assured the poor that they are protected by the Constitution, and pointed out that the BJP attacks it frequently. He also emphasized that he wants to remove the 50% limit on reservations for different groups.

    As the winter session of Parliament began, both Houses were disrupted, leading to early adjournments. This session will last until December 20.

    Modi Critiques Nehru’s Changes to India’s Constitution in Recent Speech”

    On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, for what he called “changing the Constitution.” Modi said that after India gained independence in 1947, there were no real elections until 1952. Instead, there was a temporary government.

    Modi remarked that in 1951, without the people’s choice, Nehru made changes to the Constitution using an ordinance. He claimed these changes hurt the citizens’ right to express themselves, calling it a disrespect to those who created the Constitution.

    “The first Prime Minister had his own version of the Constitution and ignored his experienced colleagues,” Modi claimed. He also noted that over the past 60 years, the Constitution has changed 75 times.

    Modi further pointed out that Nehru’s daughter, Indira Gandhi, continued these changes. Referring to 1971, he said she even changed Supreme Court decisions and diminished the power of the courts.

    During his speech, Modi also spoke out against the Emergency declared during Indira Gandhi’s rule in 1975. He said, “When we were celebrating 25 years of our Constitution, it was being ignored. Democracy was harmed, and citizens’ rights were taken away.”

    Kejriwal vs. CM Sons: Battle for New Delhi Assembly Heats Up!

    The New Delhi Assembly seat is getting ready for a tough election battle. Current MLA and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, Arvind Kejriwal, will face tough competition from the sons of former Delhi chief ministers. Parvesh Verma, whose father was former chief minister Sahib Singh Verma, announced on Saturday that he is preparing to run for the New Delhi seat as the BJP candidate. The Congress party has chosen Sandeep Dikshit, son of three-time chief minister Sheila Dikshit, to contest from this area.

    At a recent event, Kejriwal put an end to rumors about moving to another constituency. He confirmed, “I will contest from New Delhi, and Chief Minister Atishi will run from Kalkaji.” He mentioned that he sees the election as a fight between the “CM’s sons and the common man.”

    Parvesh Verma, a former MP from West Delhi, expressed confidence that the BJP will win. He accused Kejriwal of failing to keep his promises, even though Kejriwal has represented New Delhi three times since 2013. Kejriwal first gained national attention in 2013 by defeating Sheila Dikshit in the New Delhi elections. In 2015, he won again, this time against the BJP candidate, but his victory margin decreased in the 2020 elections.

    The New Delhi constituency is small but has many government employees as voters, making it an important area in the upcoming elections.

  • Shocking Video: Handcuffed Criminal Rides Bike with Police Constable!”

    Shocking Video: Handcuffed Criminal Rides Bike with Police Constable!”

    In a shocking scene that looks like something from a Bollywood movie, a criminal was seen riding a motorbike in Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, while a police constable sat behind him. The unusual sight was recorded by someone passing by and quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter).

    In the video, you can see the criminal riding the bike without wearing a helmet, while the constable wore a helmet for safety. A rope connected their wrists, making it clear that the criminal was handcuffed. This strange situation happened because the police constable felt cold in the chilly winter, so he asked the criminal to ride the bike instead.

    As the bike drove down the busy road, the odd image of a handcuffed man in control made many people question the constable’s decision. The police have said they are looking into the incident and will take action if needed. The name of the criminal and the details of his crime are still unclear. Many people online are reacting strongly, wondering how this could happen
