Ravi Shankar Prasad says Congress ringmaster for Rajya Sabha chaos

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday slammed Opposition leaders in a press conference for their behaviour in the Rajya Sabha yesterday during the passage of two key farm bills. Prasad said in a press conference at the end of the day that it was a very bad day in Rajya Sabha. He said he has never seen such disrespectful behaviour in his life in the House where leaders have thrown rule books, dancing on the table and violating all the rules of the House.

Prasad singled out the Congress for being there and supporting the unruly behaviour of the Opposition MPs. On the Opposition’s claim that the bills were passed without voting on Sunday, Prasad said Deputy Chairman Harivansh had asked the MPs to return to their seats so many times so that leaders can vote but no one listened to it. He further added that 110 members in the House were in support of the bill and only 72 members were against it.

Meanwhile, Prasad said that there was a high possibility of the Deputy Chairman being physically attacked if the marshals were not there. He added that Harivansh is a respected man from Bihar and the people from there would never forgive that shameful act by the opposition MPs.

Prasad was joined by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal. The Opposition had alleged yesterday that the Government had pushed the bills through by brute force and by ignoring their request for division of votes. Earlier on Monday, the Rajya Sabha passed a resolution to suspend 8 Opposition MPs from the Upper House for a week. The MPs, however, refused to leave the house for quite a while and when they did, they went outside and sat under a statue to continue their protest and held up placards bemoaning the end of democracy and the like.

Indian-origin chef Depinder Chhibber is making a much-anticipated return to MasterChef Australia for its 17th season, joining a star-studded lineup of returning contestants. Known for her delicate Indian flavors and calm presence, Depinder previously won hearts in MasterChef Australia 13 and is now set to compete once more under the guidance of judges Andy Allen, Poh Ling-Yeow, Jean-Christophe Novelli, and Sofia Levin.

Expressing her excitement about re-entering the high-stakes culinary battle, Depinder shared, “Back to win! MasterChef Australia altered my life forever, and now we’re at it again.”

Adelaide was struck by tragedy as Pakistani-origin cricketer Junaid Zafar Khan collapsed and died on the pitch during a local turf cricket match amid soaring temperatures. The incident occurred over the weekend during a match between Old Concordians and Prince Alfred Old Collegians at Concordia College, Adelaide.

Death on the pitch due to extreme heat

Junaid Zafar Khan, who moved to Australia from Pakistan in 2013, was batting for Old Concordians when he suddenly collapsed. At the time, the temperature had reportedly reached 41.7 degrees Celsius. Paramedics attempted to revive him, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

His club, Old Collegians, expressed their grief in a statement:

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of a valued member of the Old Concordians’ Cricket Club, who tragically suffered a medical episode while playing on the Concordia College oval today. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, he sadly did not survive. Thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family, friends, and teammates during this difficult time.”

Tributes pour in for Junaid Zafar Khan

Junaid, who worked in the tech industry after moving to Adelaide, was remembered fondly by his friends and colleagues. His close friend Hasan Anjum described his passing as a “big loss.”

“It’s a huge loss, he was destined for very big things in his life,” Anjum told The Advertiser.

Heatwave triggers safety concerns in cricket

The Adelaide Turf Cricket Association (ATCA) bylaws require matches to be canceled if temperatures exceed 42°C during play. However, under special playing regulations, games can continue when temperatures are up to 40°C.

Junaid’s death has sparked a debate over heat guidelines in Australian cricket, with growing calls for a review of existing regulations to prioritize player safety.
