[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Two persons including a police inspector died in violence that flared up in Shyana area of Bulandshahr district in Uttar Pradesh during protests over alleged cow slaughter.

Media reports quoting a senior Uttar Pradesh police officer said the incident took place around a little before 11 noon. The officer said some people had earlier complained about a case of cow slaughter in the forested area near the village. “On this information, the police and executive magistrate reached the spot,” the officer was quoted as saying.

But for some reason, the people started getting agitated over the lack of what they perceived was inadequate police action and started loading the remnants of the animals in their tractors.

The officer, Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh, was killed in firing when the mob, throwing stones, took on the police who had arrived to restore law and order. Another policeman, a constable, is in a serious condition.

The mob of villagers, numbering around 300-400 reached the police station, UP’s additional director general of police Anand Kumar told NDTV. They attacked a police station, setting a police van to fire.

While the situation is tense, a heavy police force has been deployed in the area to restore peace.

A Special Investigation Team has been formed to investigate the cow slaughter and the mob violence, reported NDTV. Security has been bolstered in the area with five companies of Rapid Action Force and six companies of Provincial Armed Constabulary.

“One police inspector has been killed and police is being mobilised to Bulandshahr after clashes in the area,” Civil Lines (Aligarh) police official told indianexpress.com. The killed police officer has been identified as Inspector Subodh Verma, who was injured in the attack and was declared brought dead in the hospital.

According to the District Magistrate, protests in the area began after people found the alleged carcass of a cow in the field and blocked a road in the area. Upon receiving the information the police reached the spot and tried to get the roads open when some unwanted elements started pelting stones and attacked the police party. During the protest, police opened fire to scatter the crowd following which the mob attacked the police station. The mob vandalised the station while setting arson to police vehicles.

The police say they are trying to divert vehicles from the area to ease tensions.

The news follows reports highlighting communal harmony between Hindus and Muslims, seen in opening up a Shiv Mandir to let Muslims offer namaz. There were several celebratory messages and reports about this and tweets like this were seen on social media: “Namaz in Shiv temple Premises. Bulandshahr Hindu Samaj sets an example by allowing Muslims to perform Namaz in Hindu temple as large gathering of Community gathered for Tablighi Ijtima in town”

This apparently did not suit some elements and the present problem was likely a result of this. There were attempts to further inflame communal passions, with posts on social media linking it to a Muslim program of Ijtema and Bulandshahr police had to ask people to desist from spreading hateful propaganda.[/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]

PM Modi skips Lok Sabha reply as protests force repeated adjournments

Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not deliver his scheduled reply to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address in the Lok Sabha today after sustained Opposition protests led to multiple adjournments of the House.

The disruption followed an escalation of tensions linked to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s proposed speech and the suspension of eight Opposition MPs a day earlier. The situation worsened after remarks made by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey during the proceedings.

Dispute over references to books sparks fresh ruckus

The controversy intensified when Nishikant Dubey responded to Rahul Gandhi’s demand to speak on national security and references to the unpublished memoirs of former Army chief General MM Naravane. Dubey said that while Gandhi wanted to quote from an unpublished book, he himself had brought several books that, according to him, made claims about the Gandhi family.

As Dubey began listing these books and their contents, strong protests erupted from Opposition members. Krishna Prasad Tenneti, who was presiding over the House at the time, cited Rule 349, which restricts members from reading out books, newspapers, or letters unless directly related to parliamentary business. Despite repeated warnings, the matter remained unresolved, leading to another adjournment.

Rahul Gandhi accuses government of silencing debate

Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi alleged that he was being prevented from speaking on an issue of national importance. He claimed the government was uncomfortable with references to General Naravane’s memoirs, which he said discussed the handling of the 2020 China border crisis.

In a social media post, Gandhi said he intended to present the Prime Minister with a book authored by the former Army chief, adding that some cabinet ministers had even questioned the existence of the book. He also wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla after the suspension of eight Opposition MPs, alleging that parliamentary debate was being curtailed.

After it became clear that the Prime Minister would not speak in the House today, Gandhi posted that PM Modi had avoided Parliament because he was “scared” to face the truth. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra echoed the allegation, claiming the Prime Minister was unwilling to enter the House.

Proceedings disrupted throughout the day

Lok Sabha proceedings were first adjourned until 2 pm amid loud protests over the issue linked to Naravane’s memoirs. Even after the House reconvened, disruptions continued, preventing normal business from resuming.

Later, Congress MPs staged a demonstration outside the Parliament complex, demanding that Rahul Gandhi be allowed to speak on the President’s address.

President rule invoked in Manipur

President’s Rule has been revoked in Manipur nearly a year after it was imposed, clearing the way for the formation of a new government led by the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The decision came hours before the scheduled oath ceremony of the new council of ministers.

Chief minister-designate Yumnam Khemchand Singh is set to take oath later this evening, along with other NDA legislators who will formally join the new government. The revocation brings an end to central rule that had been in place since February 2025, following the resignation of then chief minister N Biren Singh.

Assembly status during central rule

During the period of President’s Rule, the Manipur Legislative Assembly remained in suspended animation, meaning it was neither functioning nor dissolved. With the restoration of the elected government, legislative activity is expected to resume.

Khemchand Singh, 61, belongs to the Meitei community. Two deputy chief ministers have been named to reflect Manipur’s ethnic diversity. Nemcha Kipgen, from the Kuki community, and Losii Dikho, from the Naga community, are set to take charge as deputy chief ministers.

According to people with direct knowledge of the matter, Nemcha Kipgen is likely to take oath from a Manipur government guesthouse in Delhi.

Key portfolios and leadership choices

Seven-time MLA from Bishnupur district, Govindas Konthoujam, said he has been entrusted with the Home portfolio. Emphasising stability and law and order, he said he remains committed to serving the state with discipline and restraint.

Sources said Khemchand Singh is viewed within the party as a non-polarising leader who is acceptable across internal factions at a time of political transition. While he is yet to be tested in governance, he is seen as a steady administrative choice capable of providing organisational discipline and continuity amid uncertainty.

Uneasy peace continues in Manipur

The formation of the new government comes against the backdrop of continued tension in Manipur, nearly three years after violence erupted between the Meitei community in the valley areas and the Kuki tribes in several hill districts.

A section of Kuki groups has been demanding a separate administrative arrangement, with negotiations involving multiple insurgent groups operating under two umbrella organisations that are signatories to the suspension of operations agreement.

In recent weeks, some Kuki civil society organisations have stated they would not participate in the Manipur government and have distanced themselves from Kuki MLAs expected to join the new administration.

A day before the announcement of the new government, Kuki leader Paolienlal Haokip posted on X that representatives of the Kuki Zo people could not take part in leadership selection without justice and a written commitment for political settlement.

Diverging demands from communities

Meitei civil society groups have maintained that all internally displaced persons should be allowed to return home safely, even as dialogue continues. However, Kuki leaders have insisted that a political solution in the form of a separate administration must come first, before discussions on rehabilitation and return from relief camps.

Meitei leaders have countered this position, arguing that the demand reflects an ethnocentric territorial claim and that humanitarian issues should be addressed alongside negotiations, as no area is exclusively inhabited by a single community.

BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has claimed that his mother was seriously injured after being struck by a car in an alleged hit-and-run incident in Pune. The accused reportedly fled the spot after the incident, leaving her critically injured.

According to Poonawalla, the incident occurred a few hours earlier and his mother is scheduled to undergo surgery. He appealed to authorities to identify and arrest the person responsible at the earliest.

Sharing details on social media, Poonawalla said an unidentified individual ran a car over his mother and escaped from the scene. He requested prayers for her recovery and expressed anguish over the incident, describing his mother as a compassionate person whose injury had deeply shaken him.

He also tagged Pune City Police, senior police officials, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, urging strict legal action against the accused and ensuring that the person does not evade accountability.

CCTV footage surfaces, police complaint to be filed

In a related development, Poonawalla’s brother and political analyst Tehseen Poonawalla shared CCTV footage on social media that allegedly shows the moment their mother was hit by the vehicle.

Tehseen stated that his mother, a senior citizen, had stepped out of the car while it was being refuelled when the incident occurred. He alleged that the act appeared deliberate and said efforts were underway to identify the vehicle involved.

He further confirmed that a police complaint would be filed and questioned how the vehicle could have hit his mother when she was standing at a distance from the car.

Fractured hip, surgery planned

Providing an update on her medical condition, Tehseen said their mother had suffered a fractured hip and would require surgical intervention. She has been admitted to hospital and doctors are monitoring her vitals ahead of surgery.

He described the incident as infuriating and heartbreaking, adding that his mother would need a rod implant following the hip surgery. He also said he had spoken to senior police officials and expressed hope that swift action would be taken.

Authorities have not yet issued an official statement on the incident. Further details are awaited as investigations continue.
