BJP Rejects MPs' Comments on Judiciary, Distances Itself

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has firmly distanced itself from provocative comments made by its MPs Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma regarding the Supreme Court, asserting that such statements do not reflect the party's views. BJP chief JP Nadda emphasized the party's respect for the judiciary, stating that Dubey's remarks, which accused the Supreme Court of inciting religious wars and overstepping its bounds, were personal opinions not endorsed by the BJP. Nadda reiterated that the judiciary is a vital component of democracy, instructing party members against making similar comments. These remarks followed a Supreme Court ruling declaring the Governor of Tamil Nadu's withholding of assent to ten bills as "illegal and arbitrary." The Congress party condemned Dubey's comments, alleging a deliberate attempt to undermine the Supreme Court amid ongoing legal challenges related to the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. sources

Scientists Discover 'Olo': A Color Beyond Human Perception

Scientists have announced the discovery of a new colour, dubbed 'olo', which has never been seen by humans before. Published in _Science Advances_ on April 18, the findings reveal that only five individuals have experienced this colour, described as a highly saturated blend of peacock blue and teal. To perceive olo, researchers employed laser manipulation of the retina, pushing visual perception beyond its natural limits. Ren Ng, an electrical engineer at UC Berkeley, noted the unprecedented saturation of the colour, while vision scientist Austin Roorda emphasized that no image can adequately convey the richness of olo, stating that what we typically see pales in comparison. The research team confirmed that this colour cannot be experienced in everyday life, as it cannot be displayed on standard screens or virtual reality devices. sources
