🚨 *The Big Story*
Expressing its lack of confidence in the judicial commission appointed by the Uttar Pradesh government to probe the October 3 incidents in Lakhimpur Kheri, the Supreme Court proposed the appointment of a retired judge from “a different High Court” to monitor investigations till the chargesheets are filed. The bench’s suggestion came after it said that evidence of some of the witnesses in the case relating to the death of the driver and the two BJP workers were overlapping with the case related to the death of four farmers. It raised doubts whether this was being done to benefit a “particular accused”.

China became the second country after Pakistan that is set to give tomorrow's NSA-level meeting on Afghanistan a miss. Sources said the meeting, attended by NSAs from Russian, Iran and other key countries in the region, will look at the challenge arising out of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. However, sources said, there was no request or plan to invite the Taliban since none of the participating countries have recognised or legitimised the regime so far. They did not rule out the possibility of inviting other countries, including the US, in future editions of the event.
