Baran, Rajasthan: Just three days after the BJP suffered a crushing defeat in the Anta assembly bypoll—the only constituency in Rajasthan to go for a by-election—internal party tensions have surfaced dramatically.

Mumbai: Following the Bihar Assembly election results, where the JD(U)-BJP-led NDA registered a landslide victory, speculation about the future of Congress has intensified.

Sheikh Hasina Reacts to Death Sentence, Labels Bangladeshi Court Decision ‘Biased and Politically Motivated’

Dhaka/New Delhi: Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has issued her first official response after being sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT). She described the verdict as the product of a “rigged, partisan, and undemocratic tribunal” operating under an interim government without any democratic mandate. According to Hasina, the death sentence recommendation reflects an attempt by extremist elements within the interim administration to eliminate her as the country’s last elected Prime Minister and weaken the Awami League as a political force. Criticism of Interim Government Sheikh Hasina criticized the government led by Dr. Mohammad Yunus, accusing it of chaotic, violent, and socially regressive governance.
