Making his first appearance in Parliament two days after stepping down over the alleged NEET paper leak controversy, the BJP MP was welcomed by party colleagues with chants of “Dharmendra Pradhan zindabad” and loud displays of support. The reception drew immediate criticism from the opposition, with the Congress accusing the BJP of celebrating a leader who resigned in the wake of a major examination controversy. Read full storyPentagon created separate category for Iran war deaths, making tally hard to trackThe Pentagon has revised the way it reports casualties from the Iran war, introducing a new category for deaths and injuries recorded since July 7 that makes it harder to calculate the conflict’s overall human toll, according to a New York Times report. Under the revised reporting system, the defense casualty analysis system reinstated the deaths of four US soldiers killed last weekend after they were briefly removed from its website. However, the fatalities now appear under a separate section titled “overseas operations casualties starting July 7, 2026,” meaning anyone seeking the total casualty count must combine figures from two different webpages.

This ancient rock shelter in Spain preserves the story of how people moved from hunting to farming around 8,000 years ago | World News E20 fuel (AI-generated image) NEW DELHI: Delhi-based transport bodies are likely to hold a protest march to Parliament, demanding the withdrawal of ethanol-blended petrol.The planned protest would be led by the Delhi Taxi and Tourist Transporters and Tour Operators Association along with other groups.”We are planning to hold a protest march to Parliament on August 4 against ethanol-blended petrol and demand its withdrawal. We want to give a wake-up call to MPs who are sleeping on the issue, as vehicle problems linked to ethanol blending are being reported from across the country,” Sanjay Samrat, president of the Delhi Taxi and Tourist Transporters and Tour Operators Association, told PTI.He also distanced the protest call from the so-called “E-20 Janta Party” and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The CJP, an online satirical outfit, had on July 20 led a march to Parliament seeking the resignation of then Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET (UG) paper leak controversy, which resulted in clashes between protesters and police.”We do not want to make this a political issue and are not associated with any ‘E-20 Janta Party’, Cockroach Janta Party or any other political party,” Samrat added, referring to the online campaign against E20 fuel, which is a blend of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol.According to Harish Sabharwal, national president of the All India Motor Transport Congress, the association was protesting against the government’s move to make E20 fuel the only option available to consumers.”Ethanol-blended petrol should not be forced upon commuters; there should be a choice. Currently, no option is being provided. We are supporting the protest march to Parliament, but the association has not given any call for a strike as of now,” Sabharwal stated.The protest announcement comes days after the launch of the “E-20 Janata Party,” an online movement formed along the lines of the CJP, which has gained a large following on Instagram and X.The E20 ethanol-blending policy has been at the centre of a major controversy, with concerns raised over reduced vehicle mileage, possible engine wear and alleged conflicts of interest.The government has defended the programme, ruling out any immediate plans to increase ethanol blending beyond 20% and maintaining that the fuel is safe, cleaner and beneficial for farmers.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
