Caste census: Congress targets BJP with Supreme Court affidavit, Parliament reply

IndiaTimes Sunday, 4 May 2025

Congress is now questioning Modi's apparent U-turn and directing state units to rally for caste census implementation and the removal of reservation barriers.

Trump’s ‘FOOLISHNESS’ Gives Iran Legal Grounds To Exit Nuclear Treaty | Israel-Iran Conflict

Following the U.S. missile strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, senior Iranian lawmaker Abbas Golroo has invoked Article 10 of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), claiming Iran has the legal right to withdraw. The clause allows withdrawal if a state deems its supreme interests endangered. A petition in Mashhad is also urging Parliament to vote for Iran’s exit. With legal, public, and political momentum building, Iran’s departure from the treaty could reshape global diplomacy and deepen the nuclear standoff in the Middle East. A formal decision now looms over Tehran. #IranNPTExit #IranNuclear #AbbasGolroo #NonProliferationTreaty #Article10 #USIranTensions #MiddleEastCrisis #IranStrikes #NPTWithdrawal #GlobalNuclearCrisis #IranUnderAttack #MashhadPetition #IranRights #LegalWithdrawal #IranianParliament #USMissileStrike #FordowStrike #NuclearDealCollapse #TehranResponse #NuclearStandoff ~HT.410~
