After 50 years of wetland restoration, more than 1,500 have returned Fresh face-off unfolded in the Rajya Sabha on the third day of the Monsoon Session (Picture credit: PTI) NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday reiterated that it was ready to hold a discussion in Parliament on the alleged NEET-UG paper leak and related issues, but accused the Opposition of avoiding a debate by insisting on preconditions.The fresh face-off unfolded in the Rajya Sabha on the third day of the Monsoon Session, where repeated disruptions forced the House to be adjourned till 3 pm.While the government maintained it was prepared to discuss the issue, the Opposition, led by Congress president and Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge, said no debate would take place unless Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned.Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju said the Centre had been willing to discuss the matter since the beginning of the session and rejected the Opposition’s charge that it was avoiding accountability.”Since day one of the Monsoon Session, the Government has been saying that we are ready to have a discussion on all important issues. We are ready for a discussion on NEET exam paper leak since the beginning. We are ready even now,” Rijiju said in the Rajya Sabha.Govt accuses Opposition of avoiding discussionRijiju said the government had conveyed its readiness to Congress leaders and other parties, adding that the format and rule under which the debate would take place had to be decided after consultations under the Chair.”We have said this to the Congress leaders as well as leaders of other parties that the Govt is ready for a discussion but how the discussion is to be taken up has to be decided after meeting with everyone under the chairmanship of the Chair,” he said.He accused the Opposition of putting conditions to prevent the discussion from taking place.”If you are looking for excuses to not have a discussion and put up conditions, then it is not right,” Rijiju said.He added that discussing the issue was important for the country’s youth and that it was the government’s responsibility to inform the nation about the steps taken following the alleged paper leak.Rijiju also said the government was ready to discuss all issues and that it was for the Chair to decide under which rule the debate should be held.Leader of the house J P Nadda backed the government’s position and criticised the Opposition’s conduct.”INDI alliance has irresponsible behaviour, they are destroying the dignity of Parliament,” Nadda said.Opposition sticks to resignation demandThe Opposition, however, remained firm on its demand that education minister Dharmendra Pradhan must resign before any discussion on the issue.Leading the protests in the Rajya Sabha, Kharge said there could be no meaningful debate until the minister stepped down.”For fair discussion on NEET, there will be no debate until Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns,” Kharge said.Kharge also insisted that the discussion be held under Rule 267 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Rajya Sabha, which allows the House to suspend listed business to take up a matter of urgent public importance with the Chairman’s consent.Deputy chairman Harivansh cited past rulings and noted that Rule 267 had been invoked only on the “rarest of the rare occasions” over the past four decades.Protests continue inside and outside ParliamentThe confrontation in the Rajya Sabha came amid continuing protests by Opposition parties over the alleged NEET-UG irregularities and police action against students during Monday’s demonstrations.Earlier in the day, Opposition MPs, including leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, protested in Parliament premises wearing black clothes.Priyanka Gandhi alleged that students were raising legitimate concerns and accused the government of suppressing democratic protests.The ongoing impasse follows Tuesday’s dramatic protest by Congress leaders outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence, where Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and several other Opposition leaders were detained by Delhi Police after staging a sit-in over the NEET issue and the police action against student protesters.The Congress has been demanding Pradhan’s resignation and a detailed discussion on the issue in Parliament.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

From dreamscapes and black holes to time inversion and nuclear history, Nolan has built a career around creating immersive worlds that challenge audiences intellectually while delivering blockbuster entertainment.Born in London on July 30, 1970, Christopher Nolan is a British American filmmaker, screenwriter and producer. Over the past three decades, he has emerged as one of Hollywood’s most successful directors, known for combining original storytelling with large scale filmmaking.Born in London in 1970, Christopher Nolan began making short films before breaking into Hollywood with Memento (2000), a psychological thriller that earned widespread critical acclaim for its unconventional narrative. He went on to direct Insomnia before reviving the Batman franchise with Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.He went on to direct acclaimed films including The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet and Oppenheimer. The latter won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, earning Nolan his first Oscar for directing.His latest film, The Odyssey, adapts Homer’s ancient Greek epic for the big screen on an unprecedented scale.Unlike many blockbuster filmmakers who rely heavily on computer-generated imagery, Nolan strives to make these worlds feel tangible. He favours practical effects, real locations and large-format IMAX cameras, believing that authenticity strengthens immersion. Every visual choice is designed to convince audiences that the impossible can feel real.For Nolan, a film is never just a sequence of scenes connected by a plot. It is an ecosystem with its own laws, emotions and internal logic. Every story is designed to transport audiences into a reality that feels complete, whether that reality exists inside a dream, across distant galaxies, during World War II, or within the mind of a conflicted scientist.Perhaps no film better represents Nolan’s quote than Inception. Instead of treating dreams as abstract ideas, Nolan constructs an elaborate universe where dream architects design cities, gravity bends, time moves at different speeds and subconscious memories become physical threats. The film is less about a heist than about guilt, loss and the inability to let go of the past.Drawing on real scientific theories about relativity and black holes, the film creates a universe where love, time and survival intersect. Although celebrated for its breathtaking visuals, the heart of Interstellar lies in its exploration of humanity’s place in the universe and the emotional cost of exploration. Scientific accuracy becomes a tool for telling a deeply personal story about family, hope and sacrifice.Nolan applied his immersive philosophy in his historical drama Oppenheimer. Rather than presenting a straightforward biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the film places viewers inside the scientist’s moral conflict, examining how genius, ambition, politics and guilt collide in the creation of the atomic bomb.History becomes intensely personal, demonstrating that Nolan’s alternate worlds are not always fictional; they can also be psychological landscapes shaped by memory and conscience.His latest film, The Odyssey, extends this philosophy into mythology. By adapting Homer’s ancient epic, Nolan once again attempts to construct an expansive cinematic universe where adventure, endurance, fate and the longing for home converge.Every film Nolan has directed reflects the belief that cinema is at its most powerful when it offers audiences more than entertainment.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

They (20 TMC rebel MPs) held a meeting in Kolkata after a month and a half. They do not even have twenty voters. They have nothing. Not a single person has voted for them in West Bengal… They are all traitors and dishonest people… The government will fall after a year,” Banerjee said.Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal moved a motion in the Lok Sabha seeking Banerjee’s suspension after the Speaker received a written complaint alleging that the TMC leader had displayed ‘unprecedented behaviour’ and used objectionable and misogynistic language against women MPs, including NCPI members and Union minister Bhupendra Yadav.The motion was adopted by a voice vote, following which Banerjee was suspended for the remainder of the Monsoon Session, which is scheduled to conclude on August 13.Earlier in the day, Banerjee was involved in a heated exchange with several of his former party colleagues, including NCPI MPs Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Mitali Bagh and Shatabdi Roy, inside the Lok Sabha chamber after proceedings were adjourned. Other opposition MPs intervened to defuse the situation before the NCPI members later approached Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla over the incident.The suspension follows weeks of controversy surrounding Banerjee’s alleged conduct in Parliament. In June, NCPI leader and former TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar had written to Speaker Om Birla seeking his expulsion from the Lok Sabha, accusing him of repeatedly using objectionable, disrespectful and misogynistic language against women MPs.Dastidar had described Banerjee as a ‘habitual offender’ and demanded action, saying no member should be allowed to repeatedly insult women inside Parliament.The latest confrontation also comes against the backdrop of a split within the Trinamool Congress after 20 MPs broke away from the party following its defeat in the West Bengal assembly elections and joined the NCPI.The rebel MPs now sit separately in the Lok Sabha and have declared support for the NDA government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while Banerjee has remained with the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

He also stressed that peace and tranquility along the border remain the “pre-requisite” for normal bilateral relations.Speaking to Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi in Manila on the sidelines of the Asean foreign ministers’ meeting, Jaishankar also raised India’s concerns over market access, trade imbalance and the predictability of supply chains as New Delhi and Beijing continue efforts to normalise ties after the prolonged eastern Ladakh military standoff, PTI reported.”Since the meeting of our leaders in Kazan in October 2024, relations between India and China have been gradually normalising. This direction was further affirmed when they met in Tianjin last August,” Jaishankar said.He said India believes that a stable relationship between the two neighbours must be based on “mutual respect, mutual interest and mutual sensitivity.””We believe that a stable and cooperative relationship can best be developed on the basis of mutual respect, mutual interest and mutual sensitivity. Such a relationship can make a valuable contribution to a multi-polar Asia and a multi-polar world,” he added.Underscoring the importance of stability along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Jaishankar said normal ties cannot progress without peace in the border areas.”Peace and tranquility in the border areas is obviously the pre-requisite for normal ties. Since October 2024, both sides have engaged to ensure that important objective,” he said.”This will continue to need our constant attention. Relevant mechanisms in this domain must be given full support and strong encouragement,” he added.Jaishankar also reiterated that differences between the two countries should not be allowed to turn into disputes.”It is natural that as two large and important nations, and that too proximate neighbours, India and China would have their own particular interests. That is why our leaders had agreed that differences should not become disputes. It is the responsibility of diplomacy to properly manage them,” he said.The external affairs minister said India expects progress on long-pending economic issues, including fair market access and trade.”Fair market access and a trade balance ranks high in that regard. There are also concerns about predictability of supply chains. Facilitating both official and people-to-people exchanges merit our attention,” Jaishankar said.”We also need to agree on the meetings of various mechanisms and platforms as per our mutual priorities,” he added.Jaishankar welcomed the confidence-building measures taken over the past several months, including the resumption of direct flights, the easing of visa rules, the restart of the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra and the reopening of border trade.He also thanked China for supporting India’s initiatives during its Brics chairmanship. “India is the chair of the Brics this year. Let me take the opportunity to appreciate the support that China has given to various Brics activities and initiatives during our chairship,” he said.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

When the petitioner’s counsel referred to videos allegedly showing police atrocities on students, the CJI responded, “We are not interested in videos, we don’t have time to watch.”Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke reacted with “????????????” on X to the CJI judgement, while its spokesperson Saurav Das criticised the court’s remarks, saying, “Our Supreme Court deserves better. Surya Kant ji must realise that so much arrogance is not good. Government of India must counsel him.”Reacting to the observations, Aam Aadmi Party leader Somnath Bharti said the issue raised larger concerns about access to justice.”Its a dangerous situation. If Honble CJI wont listen to such issues then who will listen? And this brings a larger question before the people of India, does a court have a choice to listen or not to listen issues against the people in power?? They may decide this way or that way but in my humble considered opinion, high court or supreme court is duty bound to give patient hearing to issues, as important as brutalities committed on Students yesterday,”he wrote on X.Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi reacted sarcastically with a one-word post: “Amazing.”Thousands of students and young protesters had marched towards Parliament on July 20 demanding the resignation of Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations.The protest turned violent after demonstrators attempted to breach police barricades. Security personnel used lathis and tear gas to disperse the crowd, with both protesters and police reporting injuries.Meanwhile, the CJP’s sit-in at Jantar Mantar entered its second month on Wednesday, with the organisation claiming that more supporters joined the protest overnight.These development come months after CJI Surya Kant while hearing a separate case likened some unemployed youngsters to “cockroaches”, saying they end up becoming media persons, social media users and RTI activists.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
