Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has said an assembly session will be called soon and his government will prove its majority. "The session of the assembly will take place soon. The majority is with us, all Congress MLAs are united," Gehlot said on Thursday.
The indication that the Gehlot government is preparing for a floor test in the assembly came a day ahead of the expected pronouncement of a high court order on the disqualification notices sent by the Speaker to the rebel MLAs. The HC order, however, will be subject to the outcome of a petition by the Rajasthan Speaker that the Supreme Court is now hearing. The 19 dissident MLAs had filed a petition in the high court, challenging the disqualification notices. Gehlot also said those who went to court are the ones who were wrong.
In an exclusive interview with India Today, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described India as one of America’s most important strategic allies, confirming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit the US for a standalone bilateral meeting in addition to the G20 summit.
China hosted the Russian and American presidents in consecutive state visits, positioning Beijing at the centre of global geopolitics. The Russian leader's two-day visit marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of a bilateral friendship treaty, resulting in a joint declaration advocating for a multipolar world and expanded trade using local currencies.
Rubio, initially caught off guard, asked for clarification. Upon learning which comments were being referenced, he dismissed the creators of those remarks as 'stupid people.'
As Delhi reeled under temperatures crossing 45 degrees Celsius, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio kept his remarks brief during the inauguration of the new US Embassy Support Annex building and joked about the capital’s scorching heat.
