Until Rahul Gandhi’s unequivocal admission in 2021 that the Emergency was a mistake, no Congress leader had explicitly apologised for its imposition without qualifiers.
Seeking to push back against the Centre on the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, Mallikarjun Kharge says India was going through an 'undeclared Emergency' under BJP.
In a post on X(formerly Twitter), the Congress chief said that supporting the Armed Forces & government 'does not mean that we cannot question the Government.'
Despite the show of unity, Kharge slammed PM Modi for skipping the meeting, saying he 'thinks he's above Parliament'—his second straight absence from such talks.
At a 'Samvidhan Bachao' rally in Jharkhand's Ranchi, Mallikarjun Kharge demands to know why Centre did not beef up security despite intelligence alerts on movement of terrorists.
Several opposition MPs have made a similar demand to the government in the wake of the dastardly attack in which 26 people, mainly tourists, were killed last week.
With questions on narrative of Pahalgam attack & comments against war, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, his minister RB Timmapur & MLA Vijay Wadettiwar have left party red-faced.
Emphasis on need to adopt non-partisan approach reflects Congress's cautious stance on the issue, particularly after being put on the backfoot after Pulwama and Balakot in 2019.
Tuesday’s Constitution Club election is not the finale of the ‘Thakur-versus-the rest’ battle in the BJP. Wait for the caste census result to come ahead of the next Lok Sabha election.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
ACM Katre was 2nd IAF chief to die in harness. It was at a memorial lecture in his honour where IAF chief AP Singh revealed that India shot down 6 Pakistani aircraft in Op Sindoor.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
The strange logic of “electoral victory omits past mistakes” is a uniquely amnesiac Congress way of handling politics. If returning to power in 1980 absolves the guilt of emergency, then the current government should also be forgiven for all its past misdemeanours before 2024. The fact is that the Congress was a avaricious, arrogant, unscrupulous and power crazy hegemon in its heyday. The current government is following its footsteps with the zeal of the convert. India is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
