Uttarkashi missing trekker mystery deepens, role of detained companions under lens
The mystery surrounding 24-year-old trekker Babita Pandey, who vanished during the Dayara trek in Uttarkashi, has deepened as she remains untraceable after five days.
An India Today Special Report, moderated by Rajdeep Sardesai, examines the turbulent start of the Parliament Winter Session. The program features a confrontation between BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi and Congress MP Syed Nasir Hussain, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remark urging the opposition to focus on 'delivery' not 'drama'. Trivedi dismisses opposition allegations, including 'vote chori' (vote theft), as political theatrics. In response, Hussain asserts it is the opposition's duty to question the government on critical issues such as Chinese incursions, the Manipur crisis, air pollution, and the transparency of the Special Summary Revision (SSR) of electoral rolls. He accuses the ruling party of avoiding parliamentary debates and improperly deleting voters. The discussion touches on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and highlights the declining number of parliamentary sittings and a growing trust deficit in Indian politics.
