In a surprising move, the Samajwadi Party (SP) announced that it is leaving the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance in Maharashtra. This decision came after a close aide of Uddhav Thackeray, the Shiv Sena UBT leader, praised the demolition of the Babri Masjid, a mosque that was destroyed over 30 years ago.
Abu Azmi, the head of the Samajwadi Party in Maharashtra, stated on Twitter that they cannot support the communal ideas of the Shiv Sena UBT while being part of the MVA. He mentioned that the Samajwadi Party has two MLAs in the 288-member state Assembly and is ready to work on its own if necessary.
Azmi explained that the party’s decision was influenced by an advertisement from Shiv Sena UBT that celebrated the mosque’s demolition. He highlighted a social media post from an MLC of Shiv Sena UBT, Milind Narvekar, which included a quote from founder Bal Thackeray, saying he is proud of those who tore down the mosque.
Azmi further questioned the difference between the Shiv Sena UBT and the BJP if they continue to speak in such a manner.
The Babri Mosque, a building with a rich history, was demolished in 1992 by supporters of a Hindu group. The Supreme Court eventually ruled in favor of building a Ram temple at the site, allowing for a mosque to be built elsewhere.

Bumrah Thrives in Australia: Four Wickets and Injury Concern
Jasprit Bumrah is having an amazing tour of Australia! After taking eight wickets in Perth, he got 4 wickets in the first innings of the day-night Test match in Adelaide while using the pink ball. Bumrah’s great performance has helped India take a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and his skills are key to India’s chances in the series.
Glenn McGrath, a famous former Australian bowler, praised Bumrah for how he changed his bowling style to become one of the best players today. During a broadcast, McGrath shared, “I saw Jasprit when he was younger. He bowled quickly but had a different technique. He had a short run-up and would jump out a lot.”
McGrath suggested that Bumrah should use a longer run-up, but Bumrah struggled at first. However, after facing a knee problem, he worked hard to change his technique. Now, he runs straight through the crease, which helps him bowl faster and better. Bumrah has taken 183 Test wickets with an incredible average of 19.99.
McGrath emphasized that Bumrah’s bowling is unique and that his style can’t be taught easily. “He has a smooth run-up, and at the end, he powers through to bowl in the right areas,” McGrath explained. He also mentioned that Bumrah is flexible in his joints and has excellent control over the ball, which moves in different directions.
In the Adelaide Test, Bumrah took 4 wickets, including both opening batsmen and the important wicket of Steven Smith. However, he experienced a groin problem during his spell, which raised concerns for Indian fans about his condition for this match and the rest of the series.

Teen Stabbed to Death Over Toilet Argument in Delhi
A tragic incident happened in Govindpuri, South Delhi, where an 18-year-old scrap shop worker named Sudheer was allegedly killed by his neighbors during a dispute over a shared toilet. The fight began late Friday night between two families living in the same building.
The trouble started when Bhikam Singh’s youngest son used the common toilet without flushing it properly. Sudheer complained about this, which led to a heated argument. In the chaos, Bhikam Singh, his wife Meena, and their three sons attacked Sudheer and his two friends with a kitchen knife and other objects.
Sudheer suffered serious injuries and later died because of them. His brother, Prem, is still in the hospital, while their friend Sagar has been treated and sent home.
After the fight, Bhikam’s family told the police they were being attacked, but witnesses say it was Sudheer and his friends who were in danger. This incident raises serious concerns about safety in the area, especially after another recent shooting involving a police officer. Sudheer had only moved into the neighborhood 45 days earlier from Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh, where he paid a rent of ₹3,000 and lived with his brother, who drives an e-rickshaw.

Swiss Air Flight Scandal: Video of Couple Causes Major Outrage!
A video of a couple having sex on a Swiss Air flight has upset many people online, leading to an investigation by the airline. The incident happened in November on Flight 181, which was traveling from Bangkok to Zurich. The footage was recorded by security cameras in the airplane’s kitchen area.
A user on social media shared a blurred image of the video and said, “A couple joined the mile-high club in the first-class galley while being secretly recorded by the pilots.” It was also mentioned that the pilots are being investigated for sharing the video in group chats, which then became very popular online.
Swiss Air is looking into the situation because the couple’s privacy was violated. The airline has promised to find out who filmed the video without permission and to take appropriate action against those involved.
Meike Fuhlrott, a spokesperson for Swiss Air, explained that filming someone without their consent and sharing that footage is against their rules and data protection laws. She also said the crew should have stopped the couple instead of recording them.
The sexual activity was caught on a live camera meant for cockpit security, which is used to ensure the pilot’s safety. The airline said the video and the comments shared about it on social media are disrespectful to the passengers.

Vadra Urges for Unity Over Religious Politics Amid Rising Farmer Protests”
Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, spoke out on Saturday about the current focus on mosques in politics. He believes that instead of worrying about religious sites, leaders should be helping people who are struggling with rising prices and farmers protesting. Vadra warned that concentrating on religious surveys could lead to more communal issues.
He said, “We should keep religion away from politics because India is a land of many beliefs. It’s important to promote peace and unity among everyone.” Vadra was in Mumbai, where he offered prayers at the famous Haji Ali Dargah, wishing for the well-being of his family and the nation.
Vadra also expressed his doubts about the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) used in elections. He questioned how the ruling BJP could win elections in Haryana and Maharashtra if people were unhappy with them. Farmers have been demonstrating, asking for fair prices for their crops.
He criticized the way opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has been treated and mentioned that Priyanka Gandhi, his wife and Congress MP, will represent women’s issues strongly in Parliament. Vadra believes that the future of Congress is bright with Priyanka and Rahul pushing for the people’s voices in government.

Indian-Americans Rally Against Hindus’ Suffering in Bangladesh
Several Indian-Americans are planning peaceful rallies in Washington D.C. and Chicago to protest against the violence faced by Hindus in Bangladesh. The first rally, called “Genocide of Hindus in Bangladesh,” will take place near the White House on Monday, December 9. The second rally, titled “Stop the Genocide: Save Hindu Lives in Bangladesh,” will be held in Chicago on Sunday, December 8.
Organizers say that what is happening in Bangladesh is not just a local issue; it is a serious humanitarian crisis that the whole world needs to pay attention to. They believe that genocide, which is the deliberate killing of a group of people, is a crime against humanity. They are urging the international community to step in, protect the people, and stop further harm.
Recently, there has been a shocking increase in violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. Utsav Chakrabarti, who leads HinduAction, is asking the current U.S. administration to do everything possible to help protect Hindus from radical groups in Bangladesh. Reports say that since the government change in Bangladesh on August 5, the Hindu community has suffered more than 200 attacks across about 50 districts.

Lights Out! Confusion Strikes Adelaide Test Match
The exciting pink-ball Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is happening right now in Adelaide. On the first day, something strange happened at the Adelaide Oval that confused both players and fans. During Australia’s first innings, the floodlight towers turned off twice while Harshit Rana from India was bowling the 18th over. This caused delays in the evening, and fans became more involved by turning on the flashlights on their phones.
As a result of the delays, the last session of the match was extended by three extra minutes. But what caused the lights to go out? According to a report, the Australian team had asked the Adelaide Oval management to switch on the net lights for the game. When the staff in the control room were adjusting the lights, four of the floodlight towers accidentally turned off.
Tom Koutsantonis, a South Australian MP, tweeted that there was no power shortage in the area, confirming that the lights went out not due to a lack of electricity. David Warner made a joke during the broadcast, saying, “Someone hasn’t paid their bills here.” Mark Howard also chimed in, joking that people in South Australia should avoid using their air conditioners or kettles to save power.
On the field, things weren’t going well for India as they scored just 180 runs in their first innings. Meanwhile, Australia did much better, finishing with 337 runs, thanks to a fantastic century from Travis Head, who scored 140 runs off 141 balls with 17 fours and four sixes.

JD(U) Concerns: Will BJP Replace Nitish Kumar Before 2025 Elections?
The JD(U) party, led by Nitish Kumar in Bihar, is worried about the recent political changes in Maharashtra. There, Eknath Shinde was taken out of his job as Chief Minister, and now Devendra Fadnavis is back in charge. The BJP, part of the ruling alliance, has promised that Nitish Kumar will lead Bihar in the 2025 assembly elections. However, JD(U) leaders fear that the BJP might try to push Nitish aside if they get close to winning a majority in the 243-seat assembly.
Although JD(U) leaders haven’t spoken openly about this, some senior members are nervous about what the BJP might do. They remember how, in Maharashtra, Shinde was the choice for Chief Minister but was removed after the BJP gained a majority.
Inside JD(U), the big worry is if the BJP will try to replace Nitish Kumar if they reach the important 122-seat mark needed for a majority in Bihar. In the last assembly elections in 2020, JD(U) got only 43 seats, while the BJP won 74. Still, Nitish was made Chief Minister thanks to the support of the BJP leaders, even though he felt uneasy about accepting the role due to his party’s weakness.
Some believe the situation in Bihar is different. A JD(U) leader mentioned that unlike Shinde, Nitish has strong support from the people in Bihar. He highlighted that JD(U)’s vote share is very important to the NDA alliance’s strength in the state.
JD(U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar emphasized that Nitish’s position in Bihar is significant, regardless of differing opinions. Political experts think the BJP won’t replace him since there’s no good alternative. They argue that if Nitish leaves the NDA, it could create serious problems for the BJP.
JD(U) has also shown it is not pleased with the BJP on specific social and political issues. For example, JD(U) spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad criticized a recent decision in Assam to ban beef consumption, saying it could lead to societal divisions and calling for individual rights.
As the political situation in Bihar develops, JD(U) is keeping a close watch on the BJP’s actions ahead of the 2025 assembly elections, knowing their future might depend on how well the NDA operates together.
