Former West Bengal education minister Partha Chatterjee has been granted conditional bail by the Calcutta High Court in the high-profile cash-for-jobs recruitment scam involving government-aided primary schools. Chatterjee had been in custody since July 2022 after agencies uncovered large amounts of cash tied to his aide and alleged irregularities in teacher appointments. However, he cannot walk out immediately. The court has placed several conditions on his release: he must surrender his passport, deposit his phone, stay within the court’s jurisdiction, and refrain from holding public office until the trial concludes. Also, per Supreme Court direction, the trial court must record testimony of the remaining witnesses before final release. Many see this as a significant moment in a case that has drawn public and political attention, especially given the scale of alleged corruption and the number of jobs affected. At the same time, the constraints placed on Chatterjee’s bail reflect the judiciary’s attempt to balance the rights of the accused with ensuring fair trial and preventing interference. #ParthaChatterjee #BailGranted #CashForJobsScam #WestBengal #TeacherRecruitment #LegalNews #CorruptionCase #ConditionalBail #CBI #JudicialProcess

In Leh, the Leh Apex Body (LAB)—one of the principal local organizations in Ladakh—acknowledged that during the recent protest for statehood or greater autonomy, “some youngsters went out of control.” At the same time, LAB strongly alleged that police fired on protesters without warning, causing casualties and injuries. They rejected claims of external instigation or foreign hand in the unrest, and have demanded a judicial inquiry into the circumstances of the firing. According to LAB, many of the injured bore bullet and pellet wounds in the upper body region, suggesting the firing was indiscriminate and without adequate crowd control measures such as warnings or less-lethal response first. LAB leaders also emphasized that while some protest actions may have escalated, the use of lethal force cannot be justified without accountability. On the government and security side, the Ladakh Police Chief has defended the firing, saying that the police used “self-defence” given the scale of unrest and threat posed, arguing that the situation endangered the entire Leh area. He contended that police had no choice given the violence, stone-pelting, arson, and threat to personnel and property. #LadakhViolence #LehProtests #LABStatement #PoliceFiring #JudicialInquiry #StatehoodDemand #SixthSchedule #CivilRights #SelfDefenceClaim #Accountability

In a rally in Jharsuguda, Odisha on September 27, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp attack on the Congress party, accusing it of having “left no chance to loot people.” He claimed that under Congress rule, even low-income individuals were taxed heavily, whereas under the BJP government, the income tax threshold has been raised significantly and relief measures have been introduced. Modi urged voters to remain vigilant and not trust parties that, he says, have misused power in the past. He also cited examples where, despite cuts in Goods and Services Tax (GST) by the central government, states ruled by Congress continued to impose additional levies—citing Himachal Pradesh raising the cement tax as evidence of what he called Congress’s “loot tantra.” Modi framed his administration’s reforms as ushering in a “savings festival” for citizens, contrasting what he described as exploitative past policies with present reliefs. #ModiInOdisha #CongressCritique #LootTantra #TaxReform #GSTRelief #VoterAlert #JharsugudaRally #OdishaPolitics #ElectionSeason #BJPvsCongress

In a high-stakes exchange at the United Nations General Assembly, India firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that he mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Indian diplomats emphasized that any understanding between New Delhi and Islamabad was reached bilaterally — directly between the two nations — and not through any third party. The message was clear: India sees its disputes with Pakistan as matters to be resolved by them alone, without external intervention. In the same diplomatic move, India issued a stern warning to Pakistan over terrorism emanating from its soil. India demanded that Pakistan dismantle militant training camps and hand over terrorists wanted by India, and reaffirmed its “zero tolerance” policy toward sponsoring or harbouring terrorists. Indian representatives also decried what they called Pakistan’s repeated glorification of terror groups, calling such behavior unacceptable in global forums. #IndiaPakistan #UNGA #Diplomacy #BilateralDialogue #Ceasefire #Terrorism #NationalSovereignty #ForeignPolicy #Security #IndiaStance

India has formally urged Russia to immediately release and repatriate 27 Indian nationals who, according to reports, were recruited into the Russian military under dubious or coercive circumstances. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), via spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, said that the information came from families, and that India is in close touch with those affected. The MEA has raised the issue both with Moscow and at the Russian embassy in New Delhi, insisting that these individuals be freed as soon as possible. These 27 are part of a larger pattern: earlier, India had confirmed that over 150 of its nationals had been recruited by the Russian military over time, with many already discharged after diplomatic interventions. India is also issuing a stern advisory to its citizens abroad: avoid offers that promise military service in foreign armies, especially under misleading terms, as these may involve grave risks. The MEA reiterated that such offers are “fraught with danger and risk to life.”

Pakistan PM claims if they had not controlled it's terrorists they would be roaming on the streets of London and New York. It's worth thinking whether he is threatening the world that it can still give free hand to terrorists or boasting he is able to keep them in control and releasing whenever needed. #pakistan #UnitedNations #ShahbazSharif
