Thank you, Thiru M.K. Stalin, for your warm wishes.
Our shared resolve to defend the idea of India, our Constitution, and federalism will continue to guide us - this is the fight for the very soul of our democracy, and we will wage it together, until we win.
As an Indian, I have a selfish interest to see this deal go through. I hope the US manages to rein in netanyahu and force the Israelis to pull back from occupied southern Lebanon -- this is the key. If Israel leaves Lebanon, Hesbollah should be prevented from attacking Israel any more. If netanyahu is not relenting, trump should do what Eisenhower did during the Suez war or what Carter or Reagan did during the Camp David Talks or the Beirut bombing, respectively.
I also hope Iran shows strategic restraint, avoids overreaction to netanyahu's deliberate sabotaging efforts and stays in the diplomatic process. The only card netanyahu has at this point, besides the lobby, is Lebanon. The Iranians should let the Americans deal with it. It would be foolish to respond militarily or suspend talks. A return to war is not in anybody's interest-- except Isarel's. Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman should be open for all shipping.
Hold the levers of pressure; but let the diplomatic wheel move.
. #RahulGandhi turns 56 today. 17 years ago he was 39, at AMU a Muslim girl student asked him a bit uneasy question. He was far less experienced back then.
No notes. No teleprompter. No interpreter. Just pure, direct answer.
Listen. 🎧
Israel is a terrorist state and a perpetual obstacle to peace. They’re unmatched in their dedication in flaunting treachery every single day.
Slaughtering people in Lebanon to sabotage peace with Iran was expected. Iran should retaliate as promised and we should all closely examine how Trump responds.
Trump should now demand the immediate and unconditional surrender of Israel. Use Special Forces to arrest its top leaders and prosecute them for war crimes. This is the real path to ending the war. The U.S. military could not defeat Iran, but it can certainly defeat what remains of the IDF.
BREAKING: 🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel started a ground invasion again in Southern Lebanon tonight
A huge battle ongoing with an enormous amount of Israeli casualties
Israel is advancing from three different routes towards the Ali al-Taher Hills area.
4 Israeli military vehicles are completely destroyed
Hezbollah fires AD missiles at warplanes & bombards evacuation sites for the injured soldiers.
Non-stop med-evac helicopter flights, as Hezbollah engages soldiers directly at zero distance while also throwing waves of rockets & artillery at the invading occupation forces.
This person joined the Congress party 3 years back. She was a Makkal Needhi Maiam (Kamalhassan's party) candidate in the 2021 elections. I also got to know from colleagues that she had a brief stint in the BJP before joining the Congress. After taking a few photographs with Rahulji during Bharat Jodo Yatra she became a national secretary in IYC. I am curious to know what her contributions were in Coimbatore or nationally to the Congress organisation.
I am not at all surprised by an election tourist like her dumping the Congress after a defeat.
What is appalling for long term Congress workers like us is on what basis our leadership @SPK_TNCC decided to get the Singanallur seat for an election tourist like her?
2/28 seats were given for women to contest and she got one!
Will any lesson ever be learnt?

India Is Importing More Retired British Jaguars to Keep Its Ageing Strike Fleet Airborne... these Anglo-French fighters needed around 20 hours of maintenance for each hour of flight.
This is the state of affairs with India's national security

Haha, even Kaja Kallas. “Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar says he’s cutting off all contact with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, accusing her of “acting obsessively and with blatant unfairness” towards Israel”.
"What is your exact proposal? You’re a country of nine million people. You can’t just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have.” -- J.D. Vance to Israel
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated in a Bloomberg interview that the India AI Summit was "extremely disorganised".
About the chaos on stage: "There was Narendra Modi up there suddenly telling everyone to hold hands..." (collapses with laughter).
Sharp Edge: How can so called secular, liberal politicians suddenly forget every terrible thing they have said about the BJP & its ideology & suddenly change sides & defect?
It’s happening in Bengal now. But it has happened all over India for years. It’s not just Hemanta Biswa Sharma who went from being a’secular’ Congress leader to becoming the BJP’s Muslim baiter. The BJP is full of former Congressmen who have abandoned their principles & been lured away by the promise of power & riches.
Ultimately it is the conscience-less greed & hypocrisy of bogus ‘Secular’ politicians, who abandon ideology as soon as they get a better offer, that keeps the BJP flourishing

US President Trump schools Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu in humanity and considers Hezbollah and Al Qaeda more humane than Bibi. That’s a major turning point in history—finally, curtains closing on the Western neocon policy and narrative that has run for the last 35 years. But more importantly, the US-led West is steering in a new direction, preempting the future and preparing itself for a newer world. Absolutely extraordinary!
"AIADMK didn't lose Vijayabaskar to TVK. It lost him to its own indecision and ego"
With C. Vijayabaskar's resignation, this is not merely the exit of a former minister or a four-time MLA from Viralimalai. It is the departure of one of AIADMK's last remaining heavyweight leaders in the central region. Almost none left now.
What makes this different from other recent exits is the way it unfolded.
For weeks, Vijayabaskar kept the door open for reconciliation. He held discussions with the party leadership and even delayed handing over the keys of the Pudukkottai district party office, hoping a compromise could be reached. None came.
During that period, he remained visible on the ground attending thanksgiving meetings- voters, family functions, cadre gatherings and local events. Even took his supporters to a tour to Kutralam. Rather than appearing isolated, he ensured his supporters remained close and engaged throughout the uncertainty.
By the time his resignation came, the political narrative in Pudukkottai had already shifted. Many of his supporters had begun viewing him as a leader denied accommodation by the party leadership rather than a leader abandoning the party. Unlike the 4 MLAs from AIADMK exited and joined TVK
More importantly, Vijayabaskar is not leaving alone.
Along with him, 24 union secretaries, eight town secretaries, around 40 district-level functionaries and several current and former office-bearers are walking out. That is not an individual resignation. It is the movement of a large section of AIADMK's organisational structure in Pudukkottai.
For years, Vijayabaskar built and consolidated AIADMK's presence in the district. Networks of that scale cannot be recreated overnight.
Pudukkottai was one of AIADMK's strongest strongholds. Today, that stands shaken.
Whether Vijayabaskar formally joins TVK or not, the political direction appears increasingly clear. His supporters have already passed resolutions welcoming such a move.
AIADMK may eventually find another district secretary, another MLA candidate, but rebuilding the political ecosystem that is to walk out with Vijayabaskar could take years.

Why isn't Fuel prices of Gas Petrol and Diesel not decreasing to pre iran war rates, as the Crude oil price is now at Pre Iran war rates.
