Don't you feel guilty about selling Bharat Mata Rahul Gandhi criticizes the US accord and the Center
Speaking in the Lok Sabha following days of deadlock, Rahul Gandhi criticized the Central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for the recently concluded trade agreement with the United States, saying the administration should be embarrassed of it. In a vicious attack, Gandhi said that the Center "sold India" and that the government was endangering farmers' livelihoods by permitting US goods to enter."India is no longer yours. Do you not feel guilty for selling India? In reference to the trade deal, he declared, "You have sold our mother, Bharat Mata." He added that it was a "wholesale surrender" in which the interests of farmers were jeopardized and India's energy security was given to America. Gandhi went on to say that Donald Trump would have been advised to treat India equally if an INDIA Bloc administration had negotiated the trade deal with the US."This is total capitulation. The fact that it is a capitulation by more than simply the prime minister makes it tragic. He has given up the 1.5 billion Indians' future. Gandhi claimed that he had given up the future in order to save the BJP's financial structure, which is the subject of a case in the US.Gandhi claimed that the farmers' interests had been compromised and that they were facing a "storm" as American agricultural products flooded Indian markets. Additionally, he claimed that the Indian textile sector is "finished."We are about to enter a period of unrest, and the country has been sold. The country is sold out. "Its farmers and data have been sold," Gandhi reaffirmed as he wrapped up his remarks.Following Rahul Gandhi's address, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju declared that no one could sell India and charged that the Congress party was undermining the nation. "Congress is sad because India is progressing," he stated, asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is India's strongest PM. He claimed that before leaving Parliament, the Congress MP gave speeches full of falsehoods and unfounded accusations. Rijiju remarked, "He never stays back to hear the minister's response."It is regrettable that we lack a serious personality or a person with a serious character that would be appropriate for the role of opposition leader. Rahul Gandhi's lies will be refuted by our party both within and outside the House.

Updates for the 10th day of the Parliament Budget Session The Government-Opposition deadlock ends, and both Houses begin discussing the budget
The Lok Sabha began discussing the Union Budget on Tuesday, February 10, 2025, in the afternoon, signaling the end of the impasse between the opposition and treasury benches. The discussion had been delayed for days due to the opposition's insistence that LoP Rahul Gandhi be given the opportunity to speak on a number of topics. Following two adjournments, the House reconvened at 2 p.m., and the Speaker, Krishna Prasad Tenneti, invited Congressman Shashi Tharoor to commence the debate. The Thiruvananthapuram MP then began discussing the matter. Soon after opposition parties filed a notice to introduce a motion to oust Om Birla as Speaker of the Lok Sabha, the thaw occurred. Sukhendu Sekhar Roy of the Trinamool Congress emphasized that rising inequality could cause a "social upheaval," akin to what was seen in neighboring countries, as opposition parties criticized the government for failing to address issues like unemployment and inflation in the Union Budget during the budget discussion."If the situation is not brought under control, I fear that the country will soon experience social unrest similar to what has recently occurred in some of our neighboring countries. We have never witnessed such skyrocketing inequality between the rich, super rich, upper middle class, middle class, and the poor," Mr. Roy stated.

India displays its entire armed might on the 77th Republic Day, with Operation Sindoor taking front stage on the Kartavya Path.
Top national leaders and prominent foreign visitors joined the festivities, which had as their subject 150 years of "Vande Mataram." About 10,000 distinguished guests saw the parade, which combined military might with cultural cohesion.At its 77th Republic Day parade on Monday, January 26, 2026, India put military might front and centre. Kartavya Path was transformed into a sweeping display of missiles, armour, mechanised columns, and combat aircraft, with a keen focus on weapon systems related to Operation Sindoor, the high-intensity military operation carried out in May of last year.The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, Akash air defence system, Suryastra rocket launcher, and Arjun Main Battle Tank were among the major armament systems on exhibit at the start of the military demonstration, which emphasised India's focus on battlefield readiness and domestic defence manufacturing. A large portion of the equipment on exhibit was either used in Operation Sindoor, the confrontation with Pakistan that took place from May 7–10, or it was directly inspired by lessons learnt.A tri-services tableau featuring replicas of key weapon systems used during the operation was a big draw. A glass-cased integrated operational command centre served as its focal point, providing a visual representation of Operation Sindoor's execution through the coordinated use of systems including the S-400 air defence system and BrahMos. Akash and S-400 systems were depicted as offering a protective air-defense shield during the fight, while BrahMos missiles were predicted to perform decisive offensive attacks.Lt. General Bhavnish Kumar, a second-generation officer and General Officer Commanding, Delhi Area, led the procession. The Indian Army demonstrated a phased "Battle Array Format," including its airborne component, for the first time. The reconnaissance element included high-mobility reconnaissance vehicles after the historic 61 Cavalry in active battle uniform. Flying in Prahar formation, the domestic Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopter and its armed counterpart Rudra displayed aerial battlefield shaping.

Why rising demonstrations are centered around India's Aravalli hills
The Supreme Court's redefinition of the Aravalli hills, one of the oldest geological formations in the world, which encompass the states of Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, and Delhi, has sparked protests throughout northern India. Any landform rising at least 100 meters (328 feet) above the surrounding terrain is considered an Aravalli hill under the revised definition, which the court adopted in response to proposals from the federal government. An Aravalli range consists of two or more of these hills within 500 meters of one another, as well as the terrain in between. Environmentalists contend that classifying Aravalli hills according to height runs the risk of leaving many lower, scrub-covered but ecologically significant slopes vulnerable to mining and development. However, according to the federal government, the new definition is intended to increase uniformity and reinforce regulations rather than weaken rights.Protests have erupted across northern India after the Supreme Court redefined the Aravalli hills - one of the world's oldest geological formations spanning the states of Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, and the capital, Delhi.

Following a huge stranding in Australia, several whales will be put to death.
About 90 fake killer whales that survived a huge stranding on a remote Tasmanian beach are being put down by Australian authorities. Complex conditions have rendered it impossible to save them, according to a team of experts at the spot. They are among 157 whales that landed close to Arthur River in the northwest of the island. Shortly after the stranding, the others had perished. False killer whales haven't mass stranded in Tasmania in for than 50 years, despite a string of mass whale strandings in recent years, including the worst the nation has ever experienced in 2020.Like their orca namesakes, false killer whales are officially among the largest dolphin species in the world. They can reach a height of 6 meters (19 feet) and a weight of 1.5 tons. The pod had been stuck in the location for 24 to 48 hours, according to authorities on Wednesday, and the remaining animals were already under a great deal of stress. Jocelyn Flint, a local, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that she had visited the location on Wednesday morning after her son, who was shark fishing the previous evening, spotted the pod. "There are infants... They only exist in families. "They're looking at me with open eyes and a 'help' expression.""It's just absolutely horrific." Marine biologist Kris Carlyon informed the media that it is quite difficult to get to the location, which is roughly 300 kilometers (186 miles) from Launceston, and to bring any rescue equipment there. "This is possibly the trickiest location I've seen in 16 years of doing this role in Tasmania," he stated. "We're talking about a single-lane, extremely steep, and difficult road leading to the location. Four-wheel drives can be installed there, but not much else.

Involving the US government to prevent mistreatment of deportees: Jaishankar EAM
The administration was trapped by the opposition in the Rajya Sabha over the US handcuffing illegal immigrants and using a military plane to deport them, arguing that they ought to have been returned unhindered on an Indian aircraft.The government faced criticism on Thursday after the US Border Patrol released a video clip of the deportees walking with handcuffs and leg shackles, and some of the 104 illegal Indian immigrants who were deported from the US on Wednesday complained of mistreatment. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasized in a suo motu address before both Houses of Parliament that the "use of restraints" was in accordance with US standard operating procedure (SOP) and that Delhi was interacting with Washington, DC, to make sure deportees were not mistreated. Additionally, he noted that the "deportation process was not new."In response to the opposition's worries on the use of handcuffs and shackles, Jaishankar stated, "The standard operating procedure for deportation by aircraft used by ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement) that is effective from 2012… provides for the use of restraints."He claimed that ICE had "informed India that women and children are not restrained."

Delhi 2025 Election: Will Delhi Be Reclaimed by the BJP? Is it too soon to celebrate the largest shift in decades, according to exit polls?
Following a 27-year drought in the capital, exit polls for the 2025 Delhi assembly elections suggest that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may make a comeback. The BJP is predicted to take the majority of seats in the 70-member Delhi Assembly after Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ruled for ten years. It may even win more than 40 seats. Congress is predicted to stay mostly in power, while the AAP, which is running for a third consecutive term, fears a serious setback.Based on surveys by multiple agencies, the exit polls have consistently shown the BJP to be winning. The AAP is only expected to win 28 seats, while the BJP is expected to win 41 seats, according to NDTV's Poll of Exit Polls. Only one seat is anticipated to be won by the Congress, which is a little improvement from its zero seats in prior elections. With the BJP seeking to regain control of Delhi for the first time in twenty years, this represents a dramatic change.AAP Dismisses Forecasts for the Exit Poll The AAP is still hopeful in spite of the exit poll forecasts. Noting that comparable exit polls had understated its chances in past elections, the party has disputed the predictions. "This is our fourth election... every time exit polls did not show AAP (winning), but Arvind Kejriwal has worked for the people of Delhi," said AAP leader Sushil Gupta. We will establish the government and observe results that favor the AAP. The hope for the AAP is in.

To stop diversion to China, the US tightens regulations on cutting-edge computer processors.
Reuters, Washington, January 15 In an effort to stop high-end chips from being diverted to China, the US tightened regulations on advanced computer semiconductors on Wednesday, according to the Commerce Department.According to the report, the new regulations place more stringent licensing requirements on chip manufacturers and packaging firms looking to export specific cutting-edge semiconductors. According to Commerce, they expand on previous actions meant to prevent China from obtaining specific semiconductors that are essential for military advantage.In an effort to slow down China's technological achievements, the US has tightened regulations for firms like Nvidia and imposed broad new laws restricting the sale of artificial intelligence (AI) processors. The worldwide AI chip market, particularly the Indian market, may be significantly impacted by these new regulations. The new regulations, which are expected to go into force in a year, place stringent restrictions on the processing capacity of AI chips that are marketed in the majority of nations. There are exceptions for allies who follow the security and human rights guidelines that the US has established. The intent of these new regulations is to stop enemies, especially China and Russia, from using cutting-edge AI technology for surveillance or military objectives."Trade-offs are necessary for managing national security threats. In a White House blog post, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo stated, "This rule guarantees our allies can access advanced technology while protecting our interests." In order to guarantee that AI development complies with US requirements, the laws expand upon earlier chip export controls. “This rule ensures that the infrastructure for frontier AI systems remains in America or allied jurisdictions, preventing offshoring similar to what occurred with chips and batteries,” said National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in a formal statement.
