“Accha sila diya tune mere pyaar ka, Yaar ne hi loot liya ghar yaar ka.” This song perfectly sums up India–US ties today. We offered unflinching loyalty, but in return, the Trump Administration has imposed the Trump Tariff that could wreck the Indian economy. With this backdrop, today in Parliament, I questioned the Union Minister for Communications: Question 1: Shouldn’t the Indian Government withhold the necessary approvals for Elon Musk’s Starlink to use that as a bargaining chip in order to re-negotiate the Trump Tariffs? Question 2: Given the fact that Starlink refused to share critical data with Indian authorities citing data privacy laws, how does the Govt of India plan to deal with such resistance from Elon Musk’s Starlink on data sharing and the potential misuse of Starlink?

It's a historic event that we've gathered in the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to hold the extended CWC meeting and AICC session. We're at a critical juncture where the current government faces numerous glaring failures, and the country's environment is deteriorating. Reviving the nation's hopes and addressing the youth's aspirations are crucial; this is why the Congress party has convened in Ahmedabad. : Former Cabinet Minister Shri @Pallamrajumm on Extended CWC Meeting 📍 Ahmedabad, Gujarat

The country cannot function by simply delaying projects; it thrives on action and a fast pace of work. Delay is the enemy of development, and we are determined to overcome this challenge. The foundation stone for Assam's Bogibeel Bridge was laid by former Prime Minister Devegowda ji in 1997, and the work was initiated under Vajpayee's government. However, when the Congress Party came to power, the project was halted. The people of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam faced difficulties, but the government at that time showed little concern. In 2014, when we were allowed to serve, the project was restarted. Remarkably, we completed the bridge in just four years, by 2018. - PM @narendramodi

A week after Orbán gave a speech at CPAC, I’m at the #IDAHOTforum# in Iceland, where Katrín Jakobsdóttir, the prime minister of Iceland is giving a keynote speech. As we say in Hungary: you get what your government bargained for — kinek mit intézett a kormánya. https://t.co/9IEKKQFHpY

I was sensitised to the dangers of prolonged exposure to asbestos for children by scientists and activists working in this arena. Asbestos is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, and over 65 countries have implemented bans on its use. As Union Minister of State for Education, I am committed to working with state governments to ban its use in school infrastructure. Safe learning environments are non-negotiable. In this regard, the Ministry of Education has issued guidelines to ban use of asbestos in any new construction or refurbishment of school infrastructure in all the KVs and JNVs across India. I hope this starts a movement to gradually phase out asbestos use throughout the country and we build a healthier and cancer-free nation for our children!
