After Rahul Gandhi’s ED raid claim, Congress moves Adjournment Motion in Lok Sabha

This notice indeed underlines the larger question of the Opposition Congress party on the alleged politicisation of central agencies to target opposition leaders.

The Congress on Friday moved an Adjournment Motion in Lok Sabha after its leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that an Enforcement Directorate (ED) raid is being planned against him after his ‘chakravyuh’ speech in Parliament.

Congress MP Manickam Tagore has moved an Adjournment Motion in Parliament over BJP government misusing agencies like ED, CBI, and Income Tax for political harassment. This notice indeed underlines the larger question of the Congress party on the alleged politicisation of Central agencies to target Opposition leaders.

In a post on X, the Congress leaders alleged, “Apparently, 2 in 1 didn’t like my Chakravyuh speech. ED insiders tell me a raid is being planned.” The comments appear to indicate that his speech has not gone down well with a few powerful quarters, leading to retaliatory action by the Enforcement agency.

However, the BJP MP Nishikant Dubey today refused the claim made by Gandhi and said that the reason behind this is that the Congress policies and workers have failed in Wayanad and they want to divert attention from the issue.  

Earlier on July 29 during the Budget 2024-25 debate in the Parliament, the Raebareli MP, while using the ‘chakravyuh’ metaphor, has described what he claims is an atmosphere of fear in the country orchestrated by a “group of six.” He promised that this ‘chakravyuh’ would be dismantled by the INDIA bloc.

He also alluded to the legend of Mahabharata, in which Abhimanyu was trapped and killed in ‘chakravyuh’, a composition on the war front that looked like a lotus, something very complex and multi-layered.

Gandhi equated this ancient strategy with the current political scenario, rife with the feeling that the ruling BJP, with the analogy of its election symbol as the lotus, is into this kind of nefarious entrapment of opponents to browbeat them into submission.

The former Congres president also reiterated the commitment of the INDIA bloc towards a legal guarantee for MSP and the passage of a caste census bill in Parliament.

Gandhi’s statements have, in fact, blown off a political storm in the face of continuous tensions between the Opposition and the Ruling party over alleged misuse of Central Investigative Agencies for political vendettas. With the political discourse heating up over these allegations and the Centre’s response, the situation still remains fluid.

Who is Rinku Majumdar? Former Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh ties the knot at 60

Dilip Ghosh, a prominent figure in West Bengal’s BJP, tied the knot with Rinku Majumdar, a fellow party member, in a private ceremony on Friday evening in New Town.

The 60-year-old Ghosh, who has been acquainted with Majumdar since 2021, shared that the marriage fulfils his late mother’s wish. He emphasised that his personal life will not affect his commitment to politics, stating, “I will remain as dedicated to my political responsibilities as ever.”

Ghosh, a long-time member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) since his youth, joined the BJP in 2015. As the former state president of the Bengal BJP, he played a pivotal role in elevating the party to the primary opposition force in West Bengal, overtaking the CPI(M).

Known for his candid and humorous remarks, Ghosh previously represented Kharagpur as a Member of Parliament and is expected to be a key player in the state’s upcoming 2026 assembly elections.

The wedding was an intimate affair, attended by close family members. Senior BJP leaders, including state president Sukanta Majumdar, visited Ghosh’s New Town residence earlier in the day to extend their congratulations.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee conveyed her heartfelt congratulations to Ghosh and his bride, Rinku Majumdar, on their marriage. According to reports, Banerjee sent a floral bouquet along with a warm message to Ghosh’s home in New Town, Kolkata, with the delivery facilitated by local police.

Several prominent Trinamool Congress members, including Kunal Ghosh, Debangshu Bhattacharya, and Kalyan Banerjee, also joined in offering their best wishes to the couple, reports said.

Reports indicate that the marriage proposal originated from Majumdar’s side. A party insider revealed that the decision was finalised earlier this month during an IPL match both attended, sparking their mutual agreement to tie the knot.

Who is Rinku Majumdar?

Rinku Majumdar, who has been active in the BJP since 2013, has held significant roles in the party’s Mahila Morcha (women’s wing), OBC front, and handloom cell. This is her second marriage, and she has a son employed at an IT company in Kolkata’s Salt Lake area. Speculation about their relationship grew after they were seen together at Eden Gardens on April 3, watching an IPL match.

Reflecting on their connection, Rinku shared with a news outlet, “I’ve worked with the BJP at the grassroots level since 2013. My first conversation with Dilip happened just before the 2021 elections at Eco Park—it was very brief. We spoke more during this year’s Lok Sabha elections, but it was always professional.”

She added, “In September, when I was considering settling down, I proposed to him. I wanted someone from New Town who would respect my political career. Dilip stood out as an honest, principled, and strong individual—qualities I admire. I thought, why not him?”

An FIR has been filed against actors Sunny Deol, Randeep Hooda, and three others following a complaint that a scene in the film ‘Jaat’ has “hurt the sentiments” of the Christian community, police reported on Friday (April 18, 2025).

According to the complaint submitted by a leader of the Christian community, the film, which premiered on April 10, features scenes that allegedly disrespect Jesus Christ and Christian religious practices.

Viklav Gold, the complainant, has also pointed out the controversial timing of the film’s release, coinciding with Good Friday, observed on April 18 of this year.

“The FIR was filed under Section 299 of the IPC, which pertains to deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings by insulting a religion or its beliefs,” the SHO stated.

The creators of “Jaat” have exciting news: a sequel to the popular action drama has been officially announced! The Bollywood film, featuring Sunny Deol, debuted in theatres on April 10, 2025.

Directed by the talented Gopichand Malineni, “Jaat” is produced by Mythri Movie Makers and People Media Factory. The production team took to social media to tease the sequel, stating, “This time, the mass spectacle will be even bigger, bolder, and wilder.”

“Jaat” unfolds the story of a village in Andhra Pradesh beset by injustice and brutality, longing for a hero. Enter Jaat, an outsider who learns of the village’s plight and resolves to confront the corrupt system.

The film also boasts an impressive cast, including Randeep Hooda, Vineet Kumar Singh, Regina Cassandra, and Saiyami Kher in key roles. In its review, The Hindu commented, “The violence is overt, with severed heads featured prominently, and it exploits crimes against the vulnerable to provoke the audience. If you’re willing to set aside your discerning taste, this mass spectacle is yours to enjoy.”

At the box office, “Jaat” earned an impressive ₹20 crore within its first two days in India and was approaching ₹60 crore by the end of its first week.

The tragic stabbing of a 17-year-old boy in the Seelampur area of northeast Delhi has ignited a heated exchange between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday, April 18. Both parties are pointing fingers at each other regarding the city’s declining law and order situation. The incident occurred on Thursday, April 17, in the J-Block locality of New Seelampur.

Atishi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly and a senior AAP leader, accused the BJP-led Central Government and the Delhi Police of failing to protect citizens. “The murder of this 17-year-old in Seelampur highlights the worsening law and order in Delhi,” she stated in a post on X.

She questioned, “What is the Delhi Police doing? What is Home Minister Amit Shah’s response? What is the double-engine government up to?” referencing the BJP leadership in both the central government and the local police force. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta promised that the victim’s family would receive justice.

“I have spoken with the Commissioner of Police, and all efforts are being made. I hope the perpetrators will be caught soon, and we will ensure justice for the victim’s family,” she remarked.

In response to the Opposition’s criticism, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, representing North East Delhi, condemned the incident and stated that law enforcement is treating the matter with utmost seriousness.

“The murder of Kunal, a 17-year-old Dalit youth in Seelampur, is deeply concerning, and the residents’ anger is understandable,” he posted on X. “I’ve been in touch with senior police officials since last night. Many suspects have been identified, and a thorough investigation is currently underway,” he added.

While reassuring the public that the assailants will be apprehended and face severe repercussions, Tiwari also called for calm, urging that police operations not be obstructed.
