Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has been appointed to lead an all-party delegation abroad, despite not being included in his party's initial shortlist for the task. On May 16, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju requested the Congress to suggest four MPs to articulate India's stance on terrorism from Pakistan, but Tharoor was not among the names proposed by Rahul Gandhi.

Kapil Sibal Questions Justice Bela Trivedi's Empathy

Justice Bela M Trivedi concluded her tenure at the Supreme Court of India on Friday after more than three and a half years of service. During her final court session, senior lawyer Kapil Sibal paid tribute, highlighting her significance as the 11th woman judge in the court's 75-year history. He recounted a memorable courtroom exchange regarding a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, emphasizing her independence from popular sentiment.

Haryana Student Arrested for Allegedly Spying for Pakistan

A 25-year-old political science student, Devendra Singh Dhillon, was arrested in Haryana on May 12 on suspicions of espionage, marking the second such arrest in the state this week amid a period of calm along the India-Pakistan border. Dhillon, a first-year Master's student at Khalsa College in Patiala, allegedly shared sensitive information, including images of military installations, with Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) after visiting Pakistan via the Kartarpur corridor in November. Authorities claim that ISI officers had financially incentivized him for this information. His arrest follows that of 24-year-old Nauman Ilahi, also accused of espionage, who received payments from agents for relaying information. The Punjab Police recently detained two individuals connected to espionage activities involving a Pakistani official in Delhi. This crackdown on espionage follows a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan after recent military tensions. sources

Trump Showcases 'Art of the Deal' in Wartime Context

In a remarkable fortnight of diplomatic shifts, US President Donald Trump has played a controversial yet pivotal role in altering global dynamics, steering the world away from potential conflicts. Notably, Trump met with Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, lifting sanctions at the behest of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Meanwhile, negotiations to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war are underway, with Turkey's President Erdogan facilitating dialogue. Trump's recent decisions, including halting military actions against Iranian-backed Houthis in exchange for safe passage for US ships, have drawn mixed reactions. In Asia, he intervened to ease tensions between India and Pakistan, despite India's rejection of Trump's claims of mediating a trade agreement. As India grapples with its foreign policy amidst Pakistan's growing international support, strengthening its economy and manufacturing capabilities remains crucial for securing its position on the global stage. sources
