The court described the ED's actions as a violation of federal governance principles, following raids conducted in March and last week related to alleged corruption in liquor transportation and licensing. Chief Justice BR Gavai highlighted the need for the ED to focus on individuals rather than corporations. The ruling was welcomed by the ruling DMK party, which accused the ED of political harassment. Tamil Nadu's Excise Minister, S. Muthusamy, criticized the ED's conduct as politically motivated, asserting that no substantial evidence had been found to support the allegations. The controversy arises as the DMK and the opposition AIADMK prepare for upcoming Assembly elections, with accusations of misuse of federal agencies by the BJP.

Jaishankar, during his visit to the Netherlands, reiterated accusations against Pakistan regarding its involvement in terrorism, dismissing Islamabad's claims of ignorance about terror groups operating within its borders. Addressing a question from Dutch daily De Volkskrant, he asserted, "Stop pretending Pakistan is not involved in terrorist attacks on India," and emphasized that major terrorists are active in Pakistani cities. Jaishankar linked recent hostilities to a "barbaric attack" in Jammu and Kashmir, attributing the motives of the attackers to the "extreme religious outlook" of Pakistan's Army chief. He stressed that terrorism should not be linked to the Kashmir issue, which he described as a historical fact of illegal occupation by Pakistan. Jaishankar also rejected any claims of U.S. mediation in the recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan, asserting that the Kashmir dispute is a bilateral matter that must be resolved by the two nations. 
Published: May 22 2025, 3 pmeznews.inThe recent military conflict between India and Pakistan was ignited by a "barbaric" terrorist attack on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, according to Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar. He attributed the attack to the extremist views of Pakistan's Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, who has been accused of fostering religious discord. Jaishankar emphasized that the ceasefire established on May 12 was a result of direct negotiations between India and Pakistan, dismissing claims by former U.S. President Donald Trump of his involvement. Following the attack, India initiated Operation Sindoor, targeting terror camps in Pakistan, which resulted in a retaliatory missile exchange.

Published: May 22 2025, 3 pmeznews.inThe Supreme Court of India has criticized the practice of seat-blocking during postgraduate medical course admissions, stating it disadvantages higher-ranked candidates and undermines merit-based selection. This common practice allows candidates to accept multiple seats and later abandon less preferred options, resulting in lower-ranked candidates securing better positions. The bench, led by Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan, emphasized that such malpractice reflects systemic flaws in the admission process, including lack of transparency and governance. To address these issues, the court issued several directives, including the implementation of a synchronized counselling calendar, mandatory fee disclosures by universities, and strict penalties for seat-blocking. Additionally, it called for a uniform counselling conduct code across states and a third-party oversight mechanism for annual audits. The court also revised a previous compensation ruling for affected candidates from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 1 lakh, acknowledging past policy improvements while urging further reforms.

He dismissed claims of U.S. mediation, asserting that any discussions about the ceasefire were strictly between New Delhi and Islamabad. Jaishankar also reaffirmed India's non-negotiable stance on Kashmir, stating that it is an integral part of India and not open for discussion.
