The Manipur government has condemned Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma for branding his Manipur counterpart, N Biren Singh, as a "liability" and advocating for President's rule in Manipur. In a statement, the Manipur government highlighted Lalduhoma's past political missteps, including being the first MP discharged under the anti-defection law in 1986 and later being disqualified as an MLA in 2020. It also criticized his recent controversial remarks in the US, which suggested forming a Kuki-Chin Christian nation by merging territories from Bangladesh, Myanmar, and India. The statement warned of a long-term agenda involving illegal immigration and land encroachment by Kuki-Chin groups. The ongoing ethnic tensions in Manipur, primarily between the Meitei community and the Kukis, were linked to illegal immigration and drug cultivation issues, countering Lalduhoma's claims of anti-tribal policies. The Manipur government asserted that it, too, faces pressures from illegal immigration similar to those in Mizoram.

Published: Jan 14 2025, 1 ameznews.inCongress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized Delhi's former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal during his first public rally for the upcoming assembly elections, highlighting rising pollution and inflation in the capital. Gandhi accused Kejriwal of failing to deliver on his promises to clean Delhi and eliminate corruption, stating, "Pollution, corruption, and inflation are on the rise." In response, Kejriwal dismissed Gandhi's remarks, asserting his focus on national issues rather than personal attacks. Gandhi pledged to conduct a caste survey if Congress regains power, contrasting his party's past achievements under Sheila Dikshit with the current administration's performance. The Congress party, which has not won a seat in the last two elections, is fielding Sandeep Dikshit against Kejriwal.

Published: Jan 13 2025, 11 pmeznews.inThe District Election Officer of New Delhi has addressed allegations by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) regarding voter list manipulation by the BJP.

However, the election officer emphasized that applications for changes to the electoral roll are thoroughly scrutinized and do not guarantee automatic approval. Additionally, the officer dismissed AAP's claims of BJP candidates distributing items like bed sheets and jackets, citing a lack of credible evidence.

Published: Jan 13 2025, 11 pmeznews.inThe University of Delhi has challenged a Central Information Commission (CIC) order mandating the disclosure of information regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's degree, arguing that the Right to Information (RTI) Act should not be used to satisfy third-party curiosity. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the university, stated that student information is held in a "fiduciary capacity" and cannot be shared with outsiders under Section 8(1)(e) of the RTI Act. The CIC had previously allowed an RTI request from activist Neeraj for records of all students who passed the BA exam in 1978, which included Modi. The university described the CIC's directive as "arbitrary" and detrimental to the administration, asserting that it undermines the purpose of the RTI Act. The case will be heard again later in January.

Published: Jan 13 2025, 10 pmeznews.inUnion Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has refuted Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's assertion that most incumbent governments, including India's, lost the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Zuckerberg claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic led to a global erosion of trust in governments, resulting in electoral losses for incumbents.

Published: Jan 13 2025, 7 pmeznews.inPrime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Z-Morh tunnel in Jammu and Kashmir, a crucial infrastructure project aimed at enhancing connectivity and accessibility to the region. Spanning 6.5 km at an altitude of 8,562 feet, the tunnel connects Gagangir to Sonamarg, providing all-weather access that mitigates the dangers of avalanche-prone routes during winter. The project is expected to bolster the local economy and promote tourism, positioning Sonamarg as a winter sports destination akin to Gulmarg. Additionally, the Z-Morh tunnel will facilitate easier travel to Ladakh, reducing the need for overnight stays in Kargil. Alongside the upcoming Zojila tunnel, which aims for completion by 2028, these developments will enhance military logistics and vigilance along the Line of Control. Modi also paid tribute to seven victims, including six construction workers, who were killed in a recent terrorist attack related to the tunnel's construction.
Published: Jan 13 2025, 5 pmeznews.inThe Congress party, once viewed as the backbone of the opposition alliance known as INDIA, now faces significant challenges as regional parties begin to distance themselves, questioning its leadership and relevance. Tejaswi Yadav of the Rashtriya Janata Dal suggested that the INDIA grouping's focus should solely be on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, signaling potential fractures within the alliance. As regional parties express support for Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party ahead of Delhi elections, the Congress is perceived as an obstacle to unity. With past electoral successes fading, the Congress struggles to maintain its influence, leading to concerns about its ability to lead the opposition against a resurgent Bharatiya Janata Party. Internal rivalries and historical grievances further complicate the situation, leaving Rahul Gandhi and the Congress at a crossroads, where their capacity to adapt and strategize will determine the future of the opposition coalition.
