community that they'll receive citizenship through the Citizenship Amendment
Act (CAA).
UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan met

‘Was long due…’: 7,500 illegal structures razed in
five-day drive in Gurgaon.
‘You cannot walk in’:
Supreme Court raps Mamata Banerjee in I-PAC raid case. The Supreme Court
rejected Bengal's argument in the I-PAC raid case that it is a state-Centre
dispute and warned that a chief minister interfering in such a raid puts
democracy in jeopardy. Has she committed a
CRIME? If yes, WHAT WILL THE PUNISHMENT BE??
Campaigning for the second phase of the West Bengal
Assembly Election 2026 has intensified across the state, with star campaigners
of various political parties trying to woo voters through rallies, roadshows
and public meetings.
The Supreme Court has held that the right to safe
travel on National Highways is part of the fundamental Right to Life guaranteed
under Article 21 of the Constitution. The ruling highlights that road safety is not merely an administrative
concern but a constitutional obligation of
the State. The Court emphasized that citizens have the right to travel without
facing preventable dangers caused by poor road conditions, illegal parking, or unauthorized
roadside structures. THE SELF ADVERTISING BJP
MINISTER FAILED HERE, AND AT MANY OTHER PLACES FOR A LONG TIME.
IRAN WAR:(Tehran Times, Israel Times, Washington Post,
Al-Jazeera)
IRAN-USA
US President
cancelled his envoys’ visit to Pakistan for negotiations, commenting Iran did
not make a satisfactory offer for a peace deal. Trump cancels Islamabad talks, says Iran ‘can call us anytime they
want’.
Masoud
Pezeshkian has told Shehbaz Sharif that Tehran will not enter into negotiations
with the US under pressure, threats or siege.
IRAN:
Araghchi’s
meeting with Sultan Haitham of OMAN: During their meeting, the two men
discussed “developments in the regional situation, mediation efforts, and
endeavours aimed at ending conflicts”, reported Oman News Agency. Omani leader
stressed “the importance of prioritising the language of dialogue and diplomacy
in addressing issues, contributing to the consolidation of the foundations of
peace”. Oman has been acting as a mediator in the war. I think Araghchi went to convince Sultan to come out of
association of USA, which he thinks is mutually beneficial. The actual Cat is
still in the Bag!
Abbas
Araghchi will be arriving back in Islamabad later on Sunday evening on his way
back from Oman. He’s likely to have more discussions with Pakistan. After that—he
will go to RUSSIA.
The
delegation which came with him has gone back to Tehran to seek instructions
from the government there (
READ ‘IRGC’). They are likely to join him in Islamabad. Cooking will
continue in Islamabad, but the ‘BYRIANI’ is already burning!
Main sticking points between the US and Iran:
Iran’s nuclear programme: The US
wants Iran to halt its nuclear programme altogether, but Tehran says any such
restrictions must be imposed for a limited number of years. Some agreement may be reached here.
Iran’s uranium stockpile: Trump
says the US wants to take custody of Iran’s stockpile of 400kg (880lbs) of
highly-enriched uranium. Tehran has rejected the demand. DIFFICULT TO FIND A MEETING POINT.
Strait of Hormuz: Iran insists it
will maintain restrictions on shipping in the waterway until the US lifts its
blockade on Iranian ports. But Trump says the blockade will remain in place
until a deal is reached. Some solution can be
worked out.
Frozen assets: Iranian officials
are demanding sanctions relief and the unfreezing of assets worth $20bn as part
of any lasting agreement. USA will agree to
release gradually after signing peace deal.
War reparations: Iran is also
demanding compensation for damages caused by US and Israeli attacks, amounting
to about $270bn. USA-ISRAEL will not
agree.
The IRNA news agency reported that Araghchi and his
Egyptian counterpart, Badr Abdelatty, “discussed and exchanged views on issues
related to diplomacy and ceasefire, as well as the latest regional
developments”.
It said Araghchi also held a call with Türkiye’s Hakan
Fidan, but did not provide further details.
Türkiye’s Anadolu news agency reported that the talks
between Fidan and Araghchi “focused on the latest developments in the
negotiation process between Iran and the US”.
It said Fidan also held a call with Pakistan’s Foreign
Minister Ishaq Dar on the same matter. …“TOO
MANY COOKS…”
Israel carries out more attacks in southern Lebanon
after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu orders “forceful” strikes,
accusing Hezbollah of sabotaging peace efforts, as reported by Al-Jazeera.

An early flood warning system designed to save the
lives of thousands of people in the Everest region may no longer be working,
Nepalese officials have admitted to the BBC, after it was allowed to fall into

Sherpa communities told the BBC no inspection of the UN-supported project had
been carried out for many years after the dangerous Imja glacial lake was last
drained in 2016.
