In this special report, the focus is on the heated exchange in the Lok Sabha involving Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi. During the discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President's Address, Gandhi raised concerns regarding India-China relations and the military situation at the Kailash Ridge in eastern Ladakh. He stated, 'This is the first time in my life that I am speaking on national security,' emphasising that the issue is central to the President's speech. The session witnessed significant disruption as the Speaker and the Parliamentary Affairs Minister cautioned Gandhi against discussing sensitive military details that could impact the morale of the armed forces. Gandhi alleged that the government was attempting to hide realities known to every soldier and cited former Army Chief General M.M. Naravane. The treasury benches countered by accusing Gandhi of misleading the house with 'imaginary' facts. The proceedings were eventually adjourned following the persistent standoff over the disclosure of border-related information.

Why hasn't Governor invited Vijay to form government? Experts weigh in
A major political standoff has erupted in Tamil Nadu as the state governor allegedly delays inviting the single largest party to form the new government. Despite submitting a letter of support with one hundred and twelve elected representatives, the governor has reportedly demanded proof of a simple majority of one hundred and eighteen before administering the oath of office. Political analysts and legal experts argue that constitutional precedents mandate the governor to invite the single largest party and allow them to prove their majority on the floor of the legislative assembly, rather than turning the governor's residence into a testing ground. Amidst the delay, rumours of an unlikely alliance between rival Dravidian parties have surfaced, though these are widely dismissed as pressure tactics. Meanwhile, forty elected representatives from the leading party have reportedly been relocated to a resort to prevent potential poaching. Experts warn that any attempt by constitutional authorities to subvert the electoral mandate could lead to severe institutional clashes and undermine the democratic process in the state.
