Imran Masood Slams Owaisi Over ‘Hijab-Wearing Prime Minister’ Remark, Calls Debate Unnecessary

Congress MP from Saharanpur, Imran Masood, has strongly reacted to AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s recent statement advocating the idea of a hijab-wearing woman becoming the Prime Minister of India. Masood said that raising such issues at present is unnecessary and distracts from the country’s real and pressing problems. Responding to Owaisi’s remarks, Imran Masood stated that there was no need to create controversy over symbolic issues when India is facing several fundamental challenges. “We have many basic issues before us. Let us talk about those. Nothing will be achieved by creating such debates,” he said.

Saran Lok Sabha: Why Every Lalu Family Candidate Faced Defeat Against Rajiv Pratap Rudy

Patna, Bihar: The Saran Lok Sabha constituency has long been a fiercely contested political battlefield in Bihar, yet the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has often emerged victorious, primarily under the leadership of Rajiv Pratap Rudy. Out of the last four elections, Rudy has won three times, consistently defeating candidates from the RJD family. Frequent Change of RJD CandidatesOne key factor behind RJD’s repeated losses has been the constant change of candidates. In 2009, Lalu Prasad Yadav fielded Rudy’s opponent and lost; in 2014, his wife Rabri Devi contested and was defeated; in 2019, Lalu’s son-in-law Chandrika Rai faced Rudy and lost again. In 2024, RJD nominated Lalu’s daughter Rohini Acharya, yet Rudy secured victory once more. This inconsistency prevented the RJD from building v...
