We will ask the Speaker to give recognition to our claim,” Basunia told PTI Videos.The Cooch Behar MP, who is among lawmakers seeking to support the NDA in the Lok Sabha, claimed that 19 MPs had signed the representation. He said the process of collecting signatures began on June 8. Sources, however, said the timing of the proposed meeting with the Speaker had not yet been finalised.A purported list carrying the names and signatures of 19 TMC Lok Sabha MPs was circulated online, although the alleged letter to Speaker Om Birla was not publicly available and could not be independently verified. Dissident leaders claimed the document reflected support for their move.Basunia also rejected allegations by TMC MP Kirti Azad that lawmakers were being induced to switch sides. “Kirti Azad is a liar. This is not right to say. We are 19 MPs and he is also an MP… it is not right to make such allegations,” he said.Meanwhile, Azad accused the BJP of attempting to engineer defections through “Operation Lotus”. In a post on X, he cited the resignation of Rajya Sabha MP Prakash Chik Baraik, meetings involving dissident MPs and BJP leaders, and recent political outreach efforts as evidence of “an organised attempt” to weaken the party.“Operation Lotus under the guidance of (Home Minister) Amit Shah is underway,” Azad said, while claiming that the effort had failed so far.The crisis follows TMC’s defeat in the West Bengal assembly elections and has since spread to Parliament. On Thursday, Prakash Chik Baraik became the third TMC parliamentarian this week to resign from both the party and the Rajya Sabha, after Sukhendu Sekhar Ray and Sushmita Dev.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Equally remarkable was his contribution as a mentor, shaping and guiding young athletes with great dedication,” the prime minister wrote on X.Leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi also paid homage to the decorated shooter, saying his contribution to Indian sport would be remembered for years to come.“His dedication to excellence and his immense contribution to Indian sport have left an enduring mark on our nation,” Gandhi wrote on X while extending condolences to Rana’s family and the sporting community.Union home minister Amit Shah described Rana’s passing as an “irreparable loss” to the country.“He dedicated his life to establishing India’s indomitable mettle in shooting by winning international honors for the nation and by nurturing young shooters as a coach. Rana Ji’s passing is an irreparable loss to the nation,” Shah wrote on X.Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said Rana’s legacy extended beyond his achievements as a shooter.“From bringing glory to India on the world stage to nurturing future generations of shooters, his contribution to Indian sport was truly extraordinary,” Kharge wrote on X. “He even delved in public service to work for his state of Uttarakhand.”Rana was serving as the high-performance coach for India’s pistol shooters. According to National Rifle Association of India president Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo, he fell ill during the flight back from Munich and was taken directly to hospital after landing in New Delhi. He later underwent a stent procedure but could not recover.Widely regarded as one of India’s greatest shooters, Rana won multiple medals at the Asian Games, Commonwealth Games and World Championships, before transitioning into coaching and playing a key role in developing India’s next generation of pistol shooters.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Casualties feared and further details awaited. (Forward Seamen’s Union of India/ANI Video Grab) NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his silence on the killing of three Indian sailors in a US Navy attack, saying that as a “compromised PM,” he is unable to protect the “sons of Mother India.”Also Read | ‘Armed robbery and state piracy’: Iran condemns US attack on ship that killed 3 Indian sailors”Three Indians have been killed in US attacks on three ships in international waters within three days. And our Compromised PM? Not a single word. When any foreign power murders an Indian, the Prime Minister has to speak up. But heaven forbid he should utter even one word,” Gandhi wrote on X.”Next week at the G7, just days after the murder of our sailors, Modi ji will smile, embrace, and sign agreements – but for those three Indians, he won’t have a word to spare. A Compromised PM cannot protect the sons of Mother India, because he lacks either the courage or the strength to confront those who took the lives of those sons,” the Lok Sabha LoP added.The United States Navy has attacked three merchant vessels carrying Indian crew members in the past four days in the Gulf of Oman for allegedly attempting to breach the US naval blockade of Iran. The Palau-flagged oil tankers Marivex and Settebello were struck on June 8 and June 10, respectively, while the Guinea-Bissau-flagged bitumen tanker MT Jalveer was attacked on Thursday.The three sailors who were killed were part of the crew of MT Settebello. They were identified as Aditya Sharma, Suresh Patnala and Shivanand Chaurasiya.Washington has imposed a naval blockade of Iran in response to Tehran’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route through which approximately 20% of the world’s crude oil supply passes.Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz in early March following US and Israeli strikes across the Islamic Republic on February 28, an escalation that sparked the broader regional conflict.Active hostilities were paused on April 8 under a ceasefire arrangement, which was subsequently extended indefinitely.However, the truce has remained largely ineffective, as attacks have continued despite the pause in fighting.Get the latest India news and live updates.
