Prime Minister Narendra Modi, replying to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, reiterated his government’s determination and resolve to take the country to new heights in the third term, while also taking a dig at the Congress-led Opposition.

Describing the NDA’s victory for the third consecutive term as unprecedented, the Prime Minister said that the 2024 results left some bewildering and puzzled while others made deliberate attempts to run a slanderous campaign.

“However, in last few days, some aggrieved factions have started to realize the repeat of history after 60 years,” PM Modi said.

In a scathing parliamentary address, AAP's Rajya Sabha MP and National General Secretary (Organisation) Dr. Sandeep Pathak lambasted the government's lack of vision and direction, highlighting critical issues in Delhi and Punjab, including the illegal arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. Boycotting the President's address deeming it as hollow and aimless, the AAP Rajya Sabha MP denounced the government's focus on trivialities like ‘Gud’ (jaggery), ‘Gobar’ (cow dung), and buffaloes over the past decade, asserting that such matters are unworthy of the Prime Minister's discourse.

Senior AAP Leader and Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha said in the Rajya Sabha that there are two education systems in this country. On one hand, there is the education system of CM Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi, under which he built world-class schools in Delhi. Children are being provided with a good curriculum and quality education. CM Arvind Kejriwal moved forward with the dream of making an educated nation. On the other hand, there is another education system under which the examination mafia has been born, under which the future of lakhs of children in the country is standing on the verge of darkness. 

Parts of Rahul Gandhi's speech in the Lok Sabha during a discussion on the President's Address on July 1 have been expunged.

The portions expunged include his comments on Hindus and others.

Rahul Gandhi’s maiden speech as the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha was marked by huge pandemonium and uproar on Monday.

Starting his speech, the Congress MP waved a copy of the Constitution and also the photo of Lord Shiva while launching a broadside at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

Terming it as one of the darkest days in the fight against terrorism, both Houses of Parliament observed a moment of silence on Monday in memory of the 329 victims of Air India 182 'Kanishka' terrorist attack that took place on June 23, 1985.

"The incident is a grim reminder of why the world must adopt a zero-tolerance approach towards terrorism and violent extremism. Such acts can never be condoned or justified," said Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.

In one of the worst acts of terrorism, the AI-182 plane was blown up mid-air off the coast of Ireland by Sikh terrorists not long after it took off from Montreal en route to India, killing all passengers and crew members -- a majority of them being Canadian nationals of Indian origin.

AAP leaders held a big protest in Jalandhar against the arrest of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the CBI. AAP leaders called Kejriwal's arrest dictatorship of the Modi government and said that the BJP is trying to trap Kejriwal by misusing the ED and CBI.

During the protest, AAP leaders raised slogans against the BJP government at the center and burnt the effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Dozens of Aam Aadmi Party MLAs, ministers, MPs, party officials, chairmen and thousands of leaders and workers from across the state participated in the protest. The AAP candidate for Jalandhar West Assembly by-election Mohinder Bhagat also participated in the protest.

Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on Saturday reserved its order on CBI’s application demanding judicial custody of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the corruption case linked to the liquor policy case.

During the hearing, vacation judge Sunena Sharma remarked that upon the expiry of the police remand, the court has no option but to send the accused to judicial custody.

CM Kejriwal, on June 26, was sent to CBI custody for three days by Rouse Avenue Court on the agency’s application seeking custody of the Aam Aadmi Party supremo for interrogation.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was brought before a city court here by CBI upon the expiry of the 3-day remand in connection with the corruption case linked to the liquor policy case.

CM Kejriwal, on June 26, was sent to CBI custody for three days by Rouse Avenue Court on the agency’s application seeking custody of the Aam Aadmi Party supremo for interrogation.

Earlier that day, CM Kejriwal, when produced before vacation judge Amitabh Rawat, was formally arrested by the CBI.

Congress and BJP have begun preparing for the bypolls to five Assembly seats in Rajasthan which have to be held in the next six months.

The seats are Dausa, Deoli-Uniyara, Jhunjhunu, Khinvsar and Chaurasi.

While Jhunjhunu, Deoli-Uniyara and Dausa were the seats held by Congress earlier, Khinvsar was occupied by its alliance partner RLP, and Chaurasi by the Bharat Adivasi Party. The seats have fallen vacant after the candidates won the Lok Sabha polls thus necessitating the bye-elections.

On Thursday, all the MPs of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) protested against the arrest of AAP convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the CBI outside the parliament and said that this is a gross misuse of investigation agencies.

 AAP MPs also boycotted the President's address and said that we have full respect for the President but the address is written by the government. That is why we are not attending this program.
