The rebels need 2/3rds of the party’s LS tally (6 of 9 MPs) to avoid attracting provisions of the anti-defection law.In their letter to Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday, the group of rebel MPs wrote that fear of Shiv Sena (UBT)’s merger with Congress and the party’s deviation from its core ideology were among the main reasons for them to form a separate group.Sena UBT threatens to act against ‘missing 6’The group also asked Om Birla to allot seats for them near the seven seats occupied by MPs from the Shinde Sena in Parliament. Sena UBT RS MP Sanjay Raut said Thursday that action will be taken against the MPs who hadn’t turned up for the parliamentary party meeting as a ‘whip’ had been issued. LS MP Arvind Sawant said notices have been sent to the absent MPs.In the rebel camp, five of the six rebel MPs, barring Omraje Nimbalkar who was in Pune, were moved to Jaipur Thursday to make sure they didn’t show up for the UBT meeting. They were in New Delhi on Wednesday and flew out on Thursday morning. The six MPs are expected to join the Shinde-led Sena next week after they meet the LS Speaker and get their group recognised. Sena sources said Sena UBT MP Sanjay Jadhav is “group leader of the breakaway MPs”.Sawant said, “The absent MPs have betrayed the party. We are going to issue showcause notices to them by the evening. If they do not respond within seven days, legal action will be taken. We will write to the Speaker as well as the MPs. Our party’s directive (whip) was issued, and everyone received it. Despite that, they were not present here today.”Raut continued his tirade of abuses against the six MPs Thursday. He claimed NCP-SP chief Sharad Pawar had called him and said they must go to the constituencies of rebel MPs and hold protests. Raut said Pawar himself was ready to hold protest meetings.Raut described the action against the breakaway MPs as ‘Operation Tudwa’. He claimed the dissident MPs were given “an additional Rs 10 crore” and then moved to a safe location in Rajasthan. He demanded that police security extended to the “traitors” be withdrawn.He said, “We met yesterday, me, Arvind Sawant, Anil Desai, and a photo of us was published. If those six people have met, show their faces… You are still members of the party. You won the election in the name of our party and on our party’s election symbol… dishonesty will cost Eknath Shinde very dearly, and it will also cost the traitors.”Get the latest India news and live updates.

He is likely to have a bilateral meeting with counterpart Hardeep Puri, but this is yet to be confirmed.Iranian ambassador to India Mohammad Fathali told a news agency Thursday that India required reliable, stable and affordable energy supplies, and Iran possessed capabilities to meet these needs.

The Covid lockdown had shut down the family’s civil construction business in Chambal and it was a luxury they could ill afford, but his father took a loan and bought one for Rs 65,000.It was an expensive gamble. But that “KL Rahul” series bat is now repaying the loan, not in rupees but in runs and resolve. And the boy from the badlands of Chambal, once known for its dacoits, is the new India Under-19s cricket captain.Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan, a promising uncapped cricketer and his family’s youngest member (he turns 18 in Nov), leads India against Sri Lanka in the upcoming series.It was early 2020 when Yashbardhan, already showing promise as a batsman, asked for the bat. His innocent request initially put frowns on the faces of the family elders. Their business contracts had just been cancelled. Every penny counted.His father, Anami Singh Chauhan, had then described the purchase as “our biggest bet on his dream”. The spanking new willow fetched bountiful returns: Yash amassed 1,300 runs with it in the Under-13 Kanmadikar Trophy in 2021, drawing the attention of selectors and coaches.Every boundary off that bat felt like a small repayment for all the anxious nights that had preceded the purchase, the family said.”I told Yashbardhan to always keep that KL Rahul series bat with him. That bat effectively set him on his cricketing journey,” said an elated Chauhan, currently in the flour mill business in Gwalior.The bat became talismanic. Yash carried it around like an accessory, from practice to matches, from small grounds to tournament halls, a symbol of the family’s sacrifice and hope. While teammates occasionally borrowed his gloves or pads, the willow was never loaned.When a senior Ranji player once asked him if he could use it, Yashbardhan refused. Not out of arrogance, the family insisted, but out of reverence for what the bat represented: a father’s faith in his son in a time of crisis.”This bat carries my deepest emotions. I can never share this willow with anyone,” Yashbardhan told TOI.Now, national duty calls as Board of Control for Cricket in India has appointed him U-19 captain. Selectors cited his consistent run-scoring, temperament under pressure, and quiet respect within the dressing room as reasons for putting the weight of leadership on his young shoulders.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Wang had last month skipped the Brics foreign ministers’ meeting because the dates clashed with US President Trump’s visit to Beijing for the US-China summit.India holds Brics rotational presidency this year, and will hand it over to China for 2027. Reflecting a slow but steady turnaround in ties, both countries have pledged support for each other’s presidency.While an official confirmation is still awaited from Beijing, India expects President Xi Jinping to attend the summit in Sept. PM Narendra Modi had travelled to China last year for the SCO summit.Wang will attend the meeting upon invitation, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a media briefing in Beijing. He will exchange views with other Brics member states on the current international security situation and major international and regional issues, Lin said.The meeting will also discuss joint responses to traditional and non-traditional security challenges and make preparations for the Brics summit to be held in Sept, Lin added.”Amid a transforming and volatile world with many security challenges on the rise, Brics countries standing at the forefront of the Global South are committed to safeguarding world peace, promoting common development, practising multilateralism and enabling more equitable global governance,” Lin said.Wang is expected to hold bilateral meetings with NSA Ajit Doval and foreign minister S Jaishankar. Official sources said that he may also call on Modi during his two-day visit. China looks forward to enhancing communication and coordination with Brics members to enrich political and security cooperation, said Lin.Get the latest India news and live updates.

June 19 this year marks the 60th anniversary of the party’s founding.While the Shinde-led Sena is said to turn its event into a show of strength, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena’s celebration is expected to be muted. Shinde and Uddhav will address their party cadre.While Shinde is expected to once again claim the legacy of late Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray, Sena UBT is expected to avoid any show of strength given the latest rebellion, but Uddhav will respond to the recent defections and is expected to target Shinde and BJP. He will also try to keep his flock together through an emotional appeal.Shiv Sena minister Uday Samant indicated that the party will put up an aggressive front on Friday. Through a cryptic post on social media, Samant said many “formidable ones have been subdued,” indicating that Operation Tiger had been successful and top Sena UBT netas would join the Shinde Sena.Get the latest India news and live updates.

The high-level engagement unfolded barely 24 hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi sat down with US President Donald Trump on the margins of the G7 summit at Evian-les-Bains in France, signalling a fresh push to reset relations between the two democracies. Sharing details of the talks on X, Shah wrote, “Met US ambassador to India Sergio Gor in New Delhi today (Thursday). Had a detailed discussion on further strengthening cooperation between India and the US in the area of security, particularly in counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics.” The home minister said with Modi at the helm, New Delhi remained resolute in carrying forward the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership while making certain that citizens of both countries reaped the rewards of the expanding partnership. In a separate post, the US envoy described the sit-down with Shah as “excellent”. “We had a fruitful discussion on enhancing collaboration to combat terrorism, shield our people from narcotics and illicit drugs, secure our borders and jointly bring criminals to justice in both nations,” Gor said.The diplomat also conveyed his upbeat assessment of the recent diplomacy abroad. “Back in New Delhi after a great trip to the G7 in France. Lots of positive outcomes between the United States and India,” he wrote.The fresh round of security diplomacy came against the backdrop of Modi’s Wednesday meeting with Trump, where the PM pressed for the safety of seafarers to be treated as a top concern while Washington’s peace arrangement with Iran is rolled out. Officials on both sides are expected to firm up the roadmap for joint action in weeks ahead. Get the latest India news and live updates.

RS MP Sanjay Raut argued that the absence of the rebels amounted to disobeying the party’s diktat, and that is grounds for their membership to be cancelled under the anti-defection law.Legal experts, however, differ, with some of them holding that disqualification for defiance of the ‘whip’ applies only to the actions of lawmakers inside the House.Kapil Sibal, senior advocate and former law minister, said, “As far as the ‘whip’ is concerned, it is meant for the members’ conduct in the House, to vote or not to vote on a party line, which can be subject to disqualification.” However, if a member is not adhering to the party diktat on attending a party meeting, it amounts to “voluntarily giving up the party membership”. If they have not given any reason for not attending, that can be a ground for disqualification, he added.But is the ‘whip’ solely tied to the proceedings within the legislative House? “The text of the Tenth Schedule explicitly ties disqualification to a member who ‘votes or abstains from voting in such House’ contrary to any direction issued by the political party. The phrase ‘in such House’ is a strict geographical and functional limitation,” said Ajay Garg, an advocate practising in Supreme Court.”A party meeting, an internal organisational consultation, or a legislative party gathering is not ‘the House’. Therefore, non-attendance or defiance at an internal meeting does not constitute a textual violation of the Tenth Schedule,” Garg said.Sibal, however, said “six members of Sena UBT not attending the party’s parliamentary meeting is a collective decision, which suggests they are giving up their party membership and action can be taken on their conduct”.The decision of disqualification as per the Tenth Schedule lies with the Speaker of LS or assemblies, as the case may be, but his decision is subject to judicial scrutiny.Get the latest India news and live updates.
