The war of words between Gandhi and Modi came a day before voting for fifth phase of polls takes place on Monday, with Gandhi’s own constituency, Amethi, going to polls as well.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also criticised PM Modi’ remark. She said that PM Modi had ‘insulted the martyrdom of a righteous and holy man in his unbridled craze’.

“The reply will be given by the people of Amethi for whom Rajiv Gandhi gave his life. Yes Modi ji, this nation never forgives treachery,” Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tweeted.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Vadra’s husband Robert Vadra called PM Modi’s comments as “gutter politics” and said that it demanded condemnation.

The party’s core committee member and former Union Minister P. Chidambaram also hit back at the PM in a series of messages on Twitter.

“Mr. Modi has crossed all limits of propriety and decency by defaming a man (Rajiv Gandhi) who died in 1991,” Mr. Chidambaram wrote. He added that the charges against Rajiv Gandhi were dropped by the Delhi High Court.

Chidambaram wrote: “Does Mr Modi read anything at all? Does he know that the charge against Mr. Rajiv Gandhi was thrown out by the High Court, Delhi as ‘completely baseless?’”

He also pointed out that it was a BJP government that decided not to file an appeal in the Supreme Court against the said HC judgment.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Kharge, Rahul Gandhi skip Independence Day event for 2nd straight year

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi skipped the 80th Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort for the second consecutive year.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi skipped the 80th Independence Day celebrations at Delhi’s Red Fort for the second consecutive year.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the Independence Day celebrations at the historic venue on Saturday.

The absence of the two senior Congress leaders comes amid strained relations between the ruling party and the Opposition, which further deteriorated during the Monsoon Session of Parliament that concluded on Thursday.

2024 seating controversy

Rahul Gandhi had attended the Independence Day celebrations in 2024 but his seating arrangement triggered a controversy. The Congress leader, who holds the status of a Cabinet minister as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, was seated in the second-last row during the ceremony at the Red Fort.

The Opposition had criticised the seating arrangement, calling it an insult to the people. The Defence Ministry, which organised the event, said the arrangement had been modified to accommodate Olympians at the venue.

According to protocol, the Leader of the Opposition is seated in the front row during ceremonial events.

Opposition-ruling party tensions

Relations between the government and the Opposition remained tense during the Monsoon Session, which ended on Thursday.

The session saw repeated clashes between the two sides, with both the Opposition and the ruling party blaming each other for the low productivity of Parliament.

The session began on July 20, with students marching towards Parliament on the first day. Twelve bills were passed during the session, while detailed discussion took place on only one legislation, concerning paper leaks.

The Congress, along with the Trinamool Congress and Samajwadi Party, also boycotted the customary tea party hosted by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla after the House was adjourned sine die.

Assam BJP leader Bikash Dhar found dead, 5 arrested for murder

A 52-year-old BJP leader who had been missing for two days was found dead in Assam’s Sribhumi district on Friday, with police alleging that he was murdered.

Bikash Dhar, a resident of Chagalmowa village under Bazaricherra police station, was found dead inside an abandoned house in the Yogicherra area near the Tripura border on Friday morning.

Dhar’s family had filed a missing complaint on August 12 after he left home following a phone call.

According to his son Madan Dhar, Bikash left around 1 pm after saying that he had to attend an emergency meeting. When he did not return and his phone was switched off, the family began searching for him and later approached the police.

Five arrested in murder case

Sribhumi Superintendent of Police Leena Doley said an investigation was launched after the missing complaint was received. The probe was conducted under the supervision of the Additional Superintendent of Police (Crime).

Police said five people have been arrested in connection with the alleged murder. They were identified as Abdul Salam, Sifat Ali, Abdul Ahad, Saiful Ali and Badrul Haque.

According to the police, interrogation of Abdul Salam revealed that the accused had an enmity with Dhar. Police alleged that the group killed him and dumped his body near a water body.

Another person, identified as Sunam Miya, was named during the investigation and reportedly fled to Tripura on the night of the incident.

Police find injury and cut marks on body

Police said injury and cut marks were found on Dhar’s body, and a murder case has been registered.

During the recovery of the alleged weapon, police said accused Badrul Haque attempted to escape from custody. A police constable was injured during the incident.

Police said they fired at Haque’s leg to prevent him from escaping, resulting in a bullet wound.

The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Dhar’s death and the alleged involvement of the accused is underway.

Karnataka Cabinet clears public property bill amid RSS registration row

Karnataka Cabinet approves a Bill to regulate the use of government premises and public property amid a political row over RSS registration.

Priyank Kharge

The Karnataka Cabinet has approved a proposed law to regulate the use of government premises and public property in the state, amid an ongoing political debate over the registration and use of public spaces by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

The Karnataka Regulation of Use of Government Premises and Public Property Bill, 2026 was cleared by the Cabinet, Home Minister Priyank Kharge said after the meeting.

According to the government, the proposed legislation aims to establish a legal framework governing the use of government lands, buildings, playgrounds, parks, roads and other public assets by private individuals, organisations, associations and societies.

Kharge said the objective was to prevent unauthorised use and misuse of public property while ensuring that such assets are protected for public benefit.

What the Karnataka public property bill proposes

The proposed legislation is expected to lay down procedures for obtaining permission to use government property for events, meetings and other activities.

It also proposes provisions for penalties in cases involving misuse of government premises or damage to public property, according to officials.

The government is expected to introduce the Bill in the Karnataka legislature, where it will be taken up for discussion and passage.

Priyank Kharge denies Bill targets RSS

The proposed legislation comes against the backdrop of a row involving the RSS and its use of public property in Karnataka.

Kharge, however, rejected speculation that the Bill had been framed specifically against the RSS or any other organisation. He said the government did not have a particular institution, association, organisation, society, club, union, syndicate or NGO in mind.

The issue has been part of a wider political debate since 2025, with Kharge opposing the use of government premises and public property by the RSS and calling for the organisation to register formally.

In June, Kharge also wrote to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat seeking clarity on the organisation’s legal status, financial transparency and constitutional accountability.

The development is likely to keep the debate over the use of public property and the legal status of organisations in Karnataka in focus as the proposed legislation moves to the state legislature.
