Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi Spoke to TMC heir apparent and MP Abhishek Banerjee and thanked him for the support. There were concerns that due to the election campaign in Bengal, only a few of the 28 TMC MPs might come to Parliament.

According to sources, Banerjee told Rahul, “The wind is blowing against the BJP.”Akhilesh Yadav called it the defeat of BJP’s malice.RSP’s NK Premachandran said the non-passage of the bill shows that the BJP should take advice from the opposition on important issues related to the country. He said, “This defeat is not about women’s quota, but about backdoor delimitation.”Priyanka Gandhi Vadra accused PM Narendra Modi of linking women’s reservation with delimitation based on the 2011 census. “But his hollow attempt to project himself as the messiah of women has failed today,” he said. Priyanka said that if these three bills had been passed in the Parliament, democracy would not have survived in India.Rahul Gandhi said, “They used unconstitutional tactics in the name of women to break the Constitution.” Congress whip Manickam Tagore said, “We have defeated ego.”CPI MP Sandosh Kumar said the collapse of the government law shows that there is strong opposition to any attempt to change the balance of representation in the country.

He said that the government should have separated women’s reservation from delimitation.

नारी शक्ति वंदन कानून महिला नेतृत्व, नए भारत की नई सोच को मजबूत करेगा

भारत में महिलाओं की भागीदारी बढ़ाने की दिशा में एक बड़ा कदम “नारी शक्ति वंदन अधिनियम” के रूप में सामने आया है। इस कानून को देश के लोकतंत्र को और मजबूत करने का प्रयास माना जा रहा है. नरेंद्र मोदी के नेतृत्व में 19 सितंबर 2023 को पेश और 20 सितंबर को पारित इस कानून में संसद और विधानसभाओं में महिलाओं के लिए 33 प्रतिशत आरक्षण का प्रावधान है। इस फैसले को महिला सशक्तिकरण और नेतृत्व को बढ़ावा देने की दिशा में एक ऐतिहासिक कदम माना जा रहा है.

महिलाओं को 33 फीसदी आरक्षण मिलेगा
इस अधिनियम के तहत लोकसभा, राज्य विधानसभाओं और दिल्ली विधानसभा में महिलाओं के लिए 33 प्रतिशत सीटें आरक्षित की जाएंगी। इसके साथ ही अनुसूचित जाति और अनुसूचित जनजाति की आरक्षित श्रेणियों में एक तिहाई सीटें महिलाओं के लिए भी निर्धारित की गई हैं। इससे समाज में समानता को बढ़ावा मिलेगा.

पुराना सपना अब पूरा हुआ
महिला आरक्षण का मुद्दा नया नहीं है. इसकी शुरुआत साल 1996 में हुई, जब पहली बार इस पर चर्चा शुरू हुई. ये प्रस्ताव कई सालों तक अधूरा पड़ा रहा, लेकिन अब इसे मंजूरी मिल गई है. इससे पता चलता है कि बदलाव भले ही देर से हो, लेकिन हो रहा जरूर है.

महिला विकास से महिला नेतृत्व की ओर कदम
यह कानून सिर्फ महिलाओं को अवसर देने तक ही सीमित नहीं है, बल्कि उन्हें नेतृत्व की भूमिका में लाने का प्रयास है। हालांकि यह व्यवस्था परिसीमन के बाद यानी संभवत: 2029 के लोकसभा चुनाव से लागू होगी, लेकिन इसका असर समाज में अभी से दिखने लगा है.

भारतीय संस्कृति में महिलाओं का स्थान
भारत में महिलाओं को सदैव शक्ति के रूप में देखा गया है। देवी सरस्वती, लक्ष्मी और दुर्गा के रूप में उन्हें ज्ञान, धन और शक्ति का प्रतीक माना जाता है। “यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते, रमंते तत्र देवता” जैसे श्लोक सिद्ध करते हैं कि जहां नारी का सम्मान होता है, वहां समृद्धि आती है।

साहित्य में भी महिलाओं की भूमिका महत्वपूर्ण है
भारतीय साहित्य में भी नारी की भूमिका को विशेष स्थान प्राप्त है। जयशंकर प्रसाद, महादेवी वर्मा और सूर्यकांत त्रिपाठी ‘निराला’ जैसे लेखकों ने अपनी रचनाओं में नारी के संघर्ष और शक्ति को दर्शाया है।

चुनौतियाँ अभी भी मौजूद हैं
हालाँकि, महिलाओं को अभी भी शिक्षा, रोजगार और निर्णय लेने में कई चुनौतियों का सामना करना पड़ता है। यह कानून इन समस्याओं को कम करने की दिशा में एक मजबूत कदम है।

Eugenie Bouchard retired from professional tennis in July 2025. Since then, she has been focusing more on pickleball. In an interview given to Times Now, he told how this change started in a very simple way.“I played with friends during COVID. I think that’s when a lot of people embraced it and that’s when it started getting really popular. And at the end of 2023, after the US Open, my agent came to me and said, ‘Hey, we have this opportunity.’ If you want to play some events at PPA, which is like the Professional Pickleball Association, want to play in their league, you can do that,” she said.What started as a casual game slowly grew into something bigger.

‘No money is changing hands’: Trump rejects $20bn Iran ‘nuclear dust’ deal claim

'No money is changing hands': Trump rejects $20bn Iran 'nuclear dust' deal claim
US President Donald Trump

More than a month after Operation Epic Fury, donald trump Claiming a major success in the US military mission against Iran on Friday, he announced the suspension of Tehran’s nuclear program and the reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz for “full passage”.The MAGA supremo said the United States would secure what he called “nuclear dust”, which he described as enriched uranium, from Iran without any financial exchange, while insisting that one of his key objectives, restoring free movement through the Hormuz chokepoint, had been achieved.Trump also announced that Iran’s nuclear ambitions had effectively been shut down and said that a comprehensive agreement to end the conflict initiated by the US and Israel against Iran in late February was near completion. Speaking in a phone interview on Friday, he indicated that talks on a permanent deal would “probably” take place over the weekend.“We’re going to get it together. We’re going to go leisurely with Iran, and go down and start digging with big machinery… We’re going to bring it back to the United States,” Trump told Reuters during a phone interview.He mentioned “nuclear dust” and said it would be recovered “very soon”.Trump’s reference to “nuclear dust” alludes to what he believes happened following the US and Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities last June. Iran is estimated to have more than 900 pounds of uranium enriched to 60% purity, a level that has long been at the center of tensions in US-Iran talks.While Trump has repeatedly said the war was aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, Tehran says its uranium enrichment program is solely for peaceful civilian purposes such as energy production.Despite his optimism, Trump said that the United States would continue its naval blockade of Iran until a final agreement is reached.He said, “I think the agreement will be reached very quickly. We are dealing very well with Iran.”He said further talks would be required, noting that they could take place “possibly over the weekend”, and said he might travel to Islamabad after the deal was finalized.He said, “I have not made any such decision.”Trump also said Washington was working with Iran to remove mines from the Strait of Hormuz, signaling a step toward restoring stability in the vital oil transit route.Responding to reports suggesting $20 billion in cash for the uranium arrangement, Trump rejected the claims.“This is a complete lie. No money is changing hands.”

India supplies 40% of US smartphone imports, replaces China: Report

India supplies 40% of US smartphone imports, replaces China: Report

India is rapidly strengthening its position in the global electronics trade, now supplying about 40 percent of smartphones imported by the United States that were previously sourced from China.According to a recent report by McKinsey & Company cited by ANI, the United States is actively diversifying its import sources and has replaced nearly two-thirds of the goods previously sourced from China, worth more than $80 billion. India and ASEAN economies have played an important role in this transformation.“For example, India has increased smartphone exports to the United States to the tune of nearly 40 percent of China’s supply,” the report said.India’s growth in smartphone exports has been particularly notable, with shipments to the US rising rapidly despite a long geographical distance of nearly 13,000 kilometres. This reflects the country’s growing role in the global electronics manufacturing and supply chain.The report also highlights that ASEAN economies have replaced nearly two-thirds of US laptop imports that previously came from China, pointing to a broader shift in manufacturing bases across Asia.It said global trade remained resilient in 2025 despite recession concerns. Both US imports and Chinese exports reached new highs during the year, while overall global trade grew faster than the global economy.Among emerging economies, India has been a leader in expanding trade in various sectors. However, while total exports remained largely unchanged, smartphones were a major exception and drove export growth.The report said changes in trade patterns are being driven by domestic priorities and geopolitical realignment. Advanced economies and China are increasingly shifting trade away from geopolitically distant partners, while emerging economies such as India continue to expand trade across markets.It also pointed to changes in other areas. ASEAN strengthened its position as a manufacturing hub by importing more inputs from China and exporting finished goods to the United States. Brazil increased commodity exports to China, replacing goods that China previously took from the United States.

Controversy over anti-Islam American influencer getting visa approved in Britain, British leaders said: ‘England’s…’

Controversy over anti-Islam American influencer getting visa approved in Britain, British leaders said: 'England's...'

An American far-right influencer facing criticism over anti-Islam content has sparked controversy after she was granted permission to travel to the UK ahead of a planned London rally and was shown in a previous video burning a Quran.US-based MAGA influencer Valentina Gomez, who has previously courted controversy over anti-Muslim comments, has been granted a UK Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). She is due to appear as a speaker at Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” rally in central London on 16 May.In a post on Try arresting me and see what happens. England belongs to the English. Not Mohammed.”Users on social media said that ETA is not a visa. It is a digital travel authorization for visa-exempt travelers, allowing short trips for tourism, study or family purposes. It is valid for two years, costs £20 and allows multiple entries. However, approval does not guarantee entry at the border, and travelers may still be refused entry upon arrival.Gomez is expected to address supporters at the rally organized by another far-right activist, Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. The event is due to take place at central London venues including Kingsway, The Strand, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and Parliament Square.His planned appearance has already been criticized by activists and commentators, some of whom have questioned why he is being allowed to travel to the UK at all. Anti-racism campaigner Muktar Yassin said on X: “They need to keep the same energy for this ruthless bigot as they did for Kanye West.” Kanye West has faced huge opposition over Nazi-related posts on social media.Indian-origin broadcaster Narinder Kaur also commented: “You (Gomez) will be banned. We will not allow anyone to enter the country.”Others, including journalist Ica Ferrer Gotic and analyst Albie Amancona, argued that if other high-profile celebrities have faced entry restrictions, Gomez should be treated the same way.The dispute comes amid tensions over a “Unite the Kingdom” rally and a planned pro-Palestine march in London on the same day as Gomez’s visit. Security concerns have also been heightened by previous clashes at similar rallies, where police reported violence during large gatherings of Robinson supporters, including projectiles being thrown and officers being attacked.
