#Parliament

Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha has passed a motion to send Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026 to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) which will have to summit its report by Last Day of the First Week of Winter Session of the #Parliament if not extended further.

Counting down to August 15th! We’ll be sharing a special tribute every day as we celebrate India’s 80th 🇮🇳 Independence Day.

Day 5: Honoring India’s Paramilitary & Central Armed Police Forces - the Unyielding Shields of the Nation. 🛡️

From the icy Himalayan passes with the ITBP to the scorching Thar desert with the BSF, from the rugged northeastern frontiers with the Assam Rifles and SSB to the frontlines of internal security with the CRPF—our forces form an indestructible wall of defense. Guarding critical national assets (CISF), executing high-precision counter-terror operations (NSG), and ensuring elite protection (SPG), these brave sentinels stand watch so a billion-plus citizens can sleep in peace.

Today, as the Tricolour flutters high, honor the supreme sacrifice, relentless vigil, and selfless service of the men and women who protect our borders, maintain internal harmony, and defend our sovereignty every single second. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

🇮🇳🤝🇷🇺 India has shown interest in cooperation on North Sea Route, says Russian President Putin

Although Russia has consistently voiced, and continues to reaffirm, its readiness to cooperate and leverage the advantages of the Northern Sea Route, strictly within the bounds of existing international maritime law, we see growing interest from countries wishing to engage with us on this front. These partners include, above all, our friends – China, India, and other nations who are actively discussing these matters with us."

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha turned down the proposal and asserted that the youth of the country want to know who ordered that "protesting students be shot" at with pellet guns.

He said the opposition was not interested in listening to Amit Shah's "imagination and lecture" in Parliament. If Amit Shah ordered that students be shot at, he is culpable, and if he did not, he is incompetent,

"In both cases he should resign" #Parliament
