GUWAHATI/NAGPUR/GURGAON: Squadron Leader Anuj Vashishth and Flight Lieutenant Purvesh Duragkar, who was part of Operation Sindoor last year, were killed on Thursday evening when their Su-30MKI crashed in Assam’s hilly Karbi Anglong district shortly after going off the radar during a training sortie, IAF confirmed on Friday after locating the wreckage. The Sukhoi jet had taken off from the WWII-era Jorhat airbase, 200km from Karbi Anglong, around 6.45pm and lost contact with ground control at 7.42 pm. Vashishth, 29, whose family lives in Gurugram’s Sector 22B, was to get married soon. Duragkar, 25, had just returned to his squadron after visiting his parents in Nagpur around 10 days ago. His father Ravindra received news of the crashed jet being traced from a relative before the IAF unit’s commanding officer called to confirm his pilot son’s death.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: ‘Indian navy’s guest struck without warning’: Iran slams US after torpedo sinks warship IRIS Dena50 Israeli jets strike, destroy Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s underground military bunker; IDF shares videoRussia helping Iran?

The crash site is a three-hour trek from the nearest road head at Chowkihola, which takes two and a half hours by road to reach from Diphu. Residents of nearby villages reported hearing a loud explosion as the jet, engulfed in flames, hurtled down the hillside.

All personnel of the IAF express sincere condolences and stand firmly with the bereaved families in this time of grief,” IAF posted on X. Defence minister Rajnath Singh and Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma condoled the deaths. “Their courage and service to the nation will always be remembered with pride and gratitude,” Singh said.It was the second fatal Su-30MKI crash in the Northeast in eight years.

NAGPUR: The presence of a cross or pictures and statues of Jesus Christ at someone’s house cannot be treated as proof that the person converted to Christianity or abandoned his or her Hindu identity, the Nagpur bench of Bombay high court has said.A division bench comprising Justices Mukulika Jawalkar and Nandesh Deshpande recently ruled that conversion cannot be inferred merely from religious symbols in a household, and concrete documentary evidence is a must to back such claims. The HC was hearing a petition filed by an Akola-based college student, challenging rejection of his application for a scheduled caste certificate. The Akola Caste Scrutiny Committee had concluded that the student’s forefathers had converted to Christianity and, so, he was not entitled to an SC certificate.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: ‘Indian navy’s guest struck without warning’: Iran slams US after torpedo sinks warship IRIS Dena50 Israeli jets strike, destroy Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s underground military bunker; IDF shares videoRussia helping Iran?

It said the scrutiny committee must examine whether formal conversion rituals took place. The petitioner said his family never formally converted. His grandfather described himself as a Christian in school records only to avoid caste discrimination, but no religious conversion took place, he added.

NEW DELHI: Setting the stage for a fresh showdown between BJP-led NDA and opposition, Lok Sabha will take up on March 9 a resolution backed by MPs from Congress and its allies for removal of Speaker Om Birla for his alleged partisan conduct, as Parliament reconvenes for Budget session’s second part from Monday.Governing NDA’s numerical supremacy – it has 293 MPs in the current strength of 541 members in the House – renders inevitability to the motion’s defeat, but it will test the unity in opposition’s ranks as some of its constituents, including TMC, had not backed the resolution, leading to confidence among treasury benches members that Birla could bag support from outside the bloc as well. BJP, Cong issue whips ahead of Birla removal vote Both BJP and Congress have issued whips to their respective LS members, asking them to ensure their presence in the House as they seek to marshal maximum strength as a division of votes is expected.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: ‘Indian navy’s guest struck without warning’: Iran slams US after torpedo sinks warship IRIS Dena50 Israeli jets strike, destroy Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s underground military bunker; IDF shares videoRussia helping Iran? Moscow providing real time intelligence to Tehran on American military assetsWhile BJP’s whip has called for a mandatory attendance of its MPs on the first two days, Congress’s directive stands for the first three days. Rules allow Birla to be present in the House, while not occupying the Chair, and defend himself. LS’s agenda for Monday cites the resolution moved by three Congress MPs. The notice for resolution was supported by 118 MPs from Congress, SP and DMK, besides a few others.The opposition’s resolution cites Birla’s decisions to disallow the leader of the opposition in LS, Rahul Gandhi, and others to speak, making “unwarranted allegations” against women MPs, suspending eight opposition MPs, and “not rebuking ruling party members for making objectionable and derogatory” remarks against former PMs.“He (Birla) has ceased to maintain an impartial attitude necessary to command the confidence of all sections of the House; that in his partisan attitude he disregards the rights of MPs and makes pronouncements and gives rulings calculated to affect and undermine such rights; that he openly espouses the version of the ruling party on all controversial matters,” the resolution moved by the opposition said, according to the agenda. Disposal of the motion will allow Birla — who has stopped attending the House taking a high moral ground since 118 opposition MPs submitted the notice on Feb 10 — to return to the Chair to preside over govt’s key legislative agenda. A view within NDA is that several non-NDA MPs may back Birla. The opposition’s notice marked its increasingly acrimonious ties with the govt, which was on full display during the session’s first half after Rahul’s reference to the content of the unpublished book of ex-army chief M M Naravane to target govt was disallowed by Birla.This, along with the suspension of eight opposition MPs for allegedly disrupting proceedings and the speech of BJP MP Nishikant Dubey attacking members of the Nehru-Gandhi family, were cited by opposition to express its lack of faith in Birla.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosRow Over Electoral Roll Revision: Protest Held at Dharmatala in Kolkata’Real Players Are US, Russia, China’: Rahul Gandhi On Iran-Israel War, Warns Of India ImpactNitish Kumar’s Son Nishant To Enter Politics, Will Join JD(U) Soon In Signal Of Big Power ShiftNepal Poll Results: India Watches Closely As Border Dispute And ‘Big Brother’ Charge Loom’Jaishankar Should Respond’: Opposition Leaders Slam Modi Govt Over US Waiver On Russian OilWhy Is Congress Betting on Gaurav Gogoi While BJP Hits Pakistan Links?Health or politics?

The notice for resolution was supported by 118 MPs from Congress, SP and DMK, besides a few others.The opposition’s resolution cites Birla’s decisions to disallow the leader of the opposition in LS, Rahul Gandhi, and others to speak, making “unwarranted allegations” against women MPs, suspending eight opposition MPs, and “not rebuking ruling party members for making objectionable and derogatory” remarks against former PMs.“He (Birla) has ceased to maintain an impartial attitude necessary to command the confidence of all sections of the House; that in his partisan attitude he disregards the rights of MPs and makes pronouncements and gives rulings calculated to affect and undermine such rights; that he openly espouses the version of the ruling party on all controversial matters,” the resolution moved by the opposition said, according to the agenda. Disposal of the motion will allow Birla — who has stopped attending the House taking a high moral ground since 118 opposition MPs submitted the notice on Feb 10 — to return to the Chair to preside over govt’s key legislative agenda. A view within NDA is that several non-NDA MPs may back Birla. The opposition’s notice marked its increasingly acrimonious ties with the govt, which was on full display during the session’s first half after Rahul’s reference to the content of the unpublished book of ex-army chief M M Naravane to target govt was disallowed by Birla.This, along with the suspension of eight opposition MPs for allegedly disrupting proceedings and the speech of BJP MP Nishikant Dubey attacking members of the Nehru-Gandhi family, were cited by opposition to express its lack of faith in Birla.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosRow Over Electoral Roll Revision: Protest Held at Dharmatala in Kolkata’Real Players Are US, Russia, China’: Rahul Gandhi On Iran-Israel War, Warns Of India ImpactNitish Kumar’s Son Nishant To Enter Politics, Will Join JD(U) Soon In Signal Of Big Power ShiftNepal Poll Results: India Watches Closely As Border Dispute And ‘Big Brother’ Charge Loom’Jaishankar Should Respond’: Opposition Leaders Slam Modi Govt Over US Waiver On Russian OilWhy Is Congress Betting on Gaurav Gogoi While BJP Hits Pakistan Links?Health or politics?
