The Congress in Rajasthan has suffered a major setback after nearly 400 party workers resigned from its primary membership on Friday, leaving the party in crisis, said party sources. The Congress has formed an alliance with the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) on the Nagaur Lok Sabha seat and left it vacant for the RLP. Nagaur MP and RLP Chief Hanuman Beniwal was fielded here by the Congress. Meanwhile, three Congress workers were suspended on Monday for six years on allegations of campaigning in favour of BJP candidate Jyoti Mirdha from Nagaur on basis of a complaint made by Beniwal.

Since Iran viewed the embassy attack as equivalent to an attack on its own territory, sources say, a direct attack on Israeli soil by Iran itself rather than a proxy such as Hezbollah in Lebanon was a real possibility. Countries including India, France and Russia have warned their citizens against travel to the region, already on edge over the war in Gaza, now in its seventh month. US President Joe Biden said he was expecting Iran to attempt to strike Israel in the short term and pledged “ironclad” support for Washington’s top regional ally despite diplomatic tensions over Israel’s military…
US President Joe Biden said Friday he was expecting Iran to attempt to strike Israel in the short term in retaliation for a strike in Syria but warned the clerical state not to attack. “I don’t want to get into secure information but my expectation is sooner than later,” Biden told reporters after an event. Asked what his message was to Iran on striking Israel, Biden said, “Don’t.” “We are devoted to the defense of Israel, we will support Israel, we will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed,” he said. Iran’s clerical state has vowed retaliation after an…
Democrats came out swinging at Donald Trump on the divisive issue of abortion on Friday, blaming him for unpopular restrictions they said are turning back the clock on women’s rights ahead of November’s presidential election. Days after Arizona became the latest state to declare almost all abortions illegal, Vice President Kamala Harris told a rally the populist former president was the architect of the ban, and warned worse was to come if he wins the White House. “Here’s what a second Trump term looks like: More bans, more suffering and less freedom,” Harris told supporters in Tucson. “Just like he…
China is helping Russia undertake its biggest military expansion since Soviet times, US officials said Friday, stepping up public pressure as concerns rise over Ukraine. US officials are hoping the release of the intelligence will encourage European allies to press China, as Chancellor Olaf Scholz heads to Beijing this weekend and Group of Seven foreign ministers meet next week in Italy. Unveiling US findings, officials said China was helping Russia on a range of areas including the joint production of drones, space-based capabilities and machine-tool exports vital for producing ballistic missiles. China has been the key factor in revitalizing Russia’s…
The T20 World Cup 2024 is just round the corner and the Indian cricket team selectors have a keen eye on the ongoing IPL in order to identify the right players for the competition. While several players are almost confirmed to find a place in the squad, questions still remain on the middle order and certain players like Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull believes that India should use Virat Kohli as an opener along with Rohit Sharma as this move will allow him to play more fast bowlers which can result in a…
Unemployment and inflation are the main concerns of Indian voters but Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong leadership and India’s rising global stature will likely help his re-election bid, a survey shows. The findings illustrate that benefits of India’s world beating growth are starkly different for its 1.4 billion people as creation of jobs, despite PM Modi’s domestic manufacturing push over the last 10 years, is still a challenge. India starts voting in a seven-phase general election on April 19 that PM Modi is expected to win easily. Votes will be counted on June 4. Unemployment was the primary concern of…
Former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull believes that Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya has suffered an injury but he is not admitting it. The comment came after Hardik opened the bowling for Mumbai Indians in the first two matches in IPL 2024 but refrained from bowling a single delivery in the next two encounters. During the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday, Hardik bowled a single over but did not come back after conceding 13 runs. Doull said that there is something wrong with Hardik and it is his ‘gut feeling’ that the all-rounder may be suffering…

An Indian-origin former manager of a Post Office in England wrongly jailed while pregnant has rejected the apology of a former boss of the government-owned entity during an ongoing public inquiry into the accounting scandal. Seema Misra, now 47, had her conviction quashed in April 2021 as the Court of Appeal ruled that she had been wrongly imprisoned over 12 years ago after being accused of stealing GBP 75,000 from her Post Office branch in Surrey where she was the sub-postmistress. During Thursday’s hearings for the Post Office Horizon IT inquiry in London, former Post Office Managing Director David Smith…
