 Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said the history of India's freedom struggle was confined to one family but Prime Minister Narendra Modi put an end to it by "immortalising" Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The Ram Temple issue was stuck "since the time of Babur", but just after the Supreme Court order, the prime minister did Bhumi Pujan in Ayodhya. Mr Shah said Lord Ram will be in his grand temple by next year's Ram Navami. Soon after landing at the Bhalla College helipad here, Mr Shah was faced with denunciatory slogans by Congress workers at Parashuram Chowk against over the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi as MP. Some of them showed black flags to the home minister and were detained by police. Addressing the 2nd Sanyas Diksha Mahotsav at Yoga guru Ramdev's Patanjali Yogpeeth, Mr Shah said the prime minister immortalised Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel by erecting the Statue of Unity at Kevadia in Gujarat in his memory. "India's freedom strug...

Turkey on Thursday became the final NATO nation to ratify Finland's membership of the US-led defence alliance in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Lawmakers unanimously backed the Nordic country's accession two weeks after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan publicly blessed the bid. "This evening, we are keeping the promises we made to Finland," ruling party lawmaker Akif Cagatay Kilic said moments before the vote. Turkey's approval leaves Finland -- which has a 1,300-kilometre (800-mile) border with Russia -- with only a few technical steps before it becomes the 31st member of the world's most powerful military bloc. Officials expect the process to be completed as early as next week. Finland and its neighbour Sweden ended decades of military non-alignment and decided to join NATO last May. Their applications were accepted at a June alliance summit that was designed to show the Western world's desire to stand up to Russia in the face of Europ...

A young mother of five children in the UK has reported that a significant dumping issue in her home is the reason why her son is frequently becoming sick and using antibiotics. She said that for seven years, there was mould in each of the three bedrooms of her Whitstable home. According to KentLive , the 31-year-old has two sets of twins, aged three and nine, and another child who is 12. However, one of the nine-year-olds has an immunoglobulin A (IGA) deficiency. IGA is an antibody found in the inner lining of the nose, airways, and gut, which means a deficiency could make someone more susceptible to catching diseases and illnesses. "I have had a severe mould problem for seven years now, and the council is constantly doing pointless work that is not solving it," she said. Yet the council claimed that the first notice of mould in the house it received was in November of last year, and that it has plans in place to help address the problem.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday said that the speech of Sharjeel Imam at Jamia on December 13 in 2019 was "provocative" and shows that he was also a part of the mob which was instigating and provoking. The High Court said on Tuesday in judgement against the order of the trial court order discharging him and ten others.

 The Delhi High Court on Tuesday held that the December 2019 protests organised at Delhi's Jamia Millia Islamia was an unlawful assembly and the mob gathered at the spot with the intention to violate the law. "The common object of the assembly was to march to the Parliament for registration of their protest against the Government policies of NRC and CAB where a curfew was imposed by the authorities," the Delhi High Court on Tuesday said, adding that making efforts to reach that area and carry out protest there was an "unlawful" object itself. The Delhi High Court held the view while setting aside the order of the trial court discharging Sharjeel Imam and 10 others. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma said that as per the prosecution, section 144 Cr.P.C. was already imposed in the area near Parliament. "Therefore, making efforts to reach to a curfew imposed area and carry out protest therein was an unlawful object itself," justice Sharma held in the judgem...
