Saket Gokhale’s ₹50 Lakh Apology EXPOSES Congress Playbook: Lies, Media Uproar… Then Silence

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale has issued an unconditional public apology and agreed to pay ₹50 lakh in damages after falsely accusing ex-diplomat Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri of corruption. The Delhi High Court warned of civil detention if he failed to comply. But Gokhale’s apology isn’t an isolated incident — it’s just another example in a long line of opposition leaders making defamatory claims, triggering outrage, and then quietly backtracking when confronted by the courts. From Rahul Gandhi’s RSS allegations to the Rafale lie, from ‘khoon ki dalali’ to defaming NSA Ajit Doval’s son — the pattern is clear: slander first, apologise later. #SaketGokhale #CongressExposed #RahulGandhi #LakshmiPuri #DelhiHighCourt #PoliticalDrama #CongressLies #NewIndia #TruthPrevails #OppositionPolitics #BJPVsCongress Also Read Kamal Haasan Faces Karnataka High Court Reprimand for Not Apologising Over Controversial Remarks :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kamal-haasan-karnataka-hc-actor-refuses-apologise-011-4171617.html?ref=DMDesc They Gate Crashed!

A ‘CAUTIOUS’ Macron arrives in Indonesia with no ‘SLAP’ drama of Vietnam

French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Indonesia with First Lady Brigitte following the viral ‘slap-gate’ moment in Vietnam, which he downplayed as playful “horsing around.” The visit marks the 75th anniversary of France-Indonesia diplomatic ties. Macron was welcomed with a grand military parade and met President Prabowo Subianto to discuss deepening cooperation in defense, energy, and digitization. Talks reportedly include Indonesia’s interest in procuring French-made Rafale fighter jets and Scorpene submarines as strategic ties between the two nations grow stronger. #Macron #FranceIndonesia #MacronVisit #SlapGate #BrigitteMacron #Indonesia75Years #RafaleJets #ScorpeneSubmarines #Prabowo #DiplomaticRelations #DefenseDeals #MacronInAsia #GrandWelcome #BilateralTalks #Geopolitics #MacronTour #MacronIndonesiaVisit #FranceAsia #DefenseCooperation #EnergyPartnership #DigitalTransformation #FranceIndonesiaTies #MacronControversy #GlobalPolitics #SoutheastAsiaVisit Also Read Macron Dismisses ‘Slapgate’ Claims After Video With Wife Goes Viral: 'Has Become A Geo-Planetary Catastrophe' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/macron-dismisses-slapgate-claims-after-video-with-wife-goes-viral-has-become-a-geo-planetary-cat-4164789.html?ref=DMDesc French President Emmanuel Macron Declares Haiti's Independence Indemnity as Historic Injustice :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-president-haiti-independence-indemnity-injustice-011-4127059.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Clamps Down On Media As Istanbul Mayor Imamoglu’s Jailing Sparks Decade’s Biggest Protests :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-clamps-down-on-media-as-istanbul-mayor-imamoglu-s-jailing-sparks-decade-s-biggest-protests-4107483.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Bhutto FACT-CHECKED at UN Over 'Muslim Vilification' Lie | Journalist EXPOSES Anti-India Claim

Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari faced an awkward moment at a UN press briefing after a journalist fact-checked his claim that India was "demonising Muslims" following the Pahalgam terror attack. Bhutto alleged India was politicising the tragedy to vilify Muslims, but the journalist countered with firsthand experience, highlighting Muslim officers leading Indian Army briefings. Bhutto, visibly unsettled, admitted, "You're absolutely right." The episode casts doubt on Pakistan’s narrative as Bhutto leads a diplomatic team to counter India’s global stance post-Operation Sindoor. #BilawalBhutto #UNPressBriefing #IndiaPakistan #OperationSindoor #FactCheck #PahalgamAttack #IndianArmy #PakClaims #IndianMuslims #ColSofiyaQureshi #VyomikaSingh #KashmirIssue #Terrorism #IslamabadDiplomacy #UNNews #GlobalPolitics #PakNarrative #IndiaDefense #IndianMuslimOfficers #PakistanUN #JournalistFactCheck #SouthAsiaNews #BustedAtUN #BhuttoEmbarrassed #KashmirTensions #IndiaPakistanTensions #PPP #BilawalAtUN #BreakingNews #IndiaNarrative #TruthAtUN Also Read Bilawal Bhutto Admits UN Hurdles On Kashmir As Pakistan, India Launch Parallel Diplomacy In US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bilawal-bhutto-admits-un-hurdles-on-kashmir-as-pakistan-india-launch-parallel-diplomacy-in-us-4171933.html?ref=DMDesc Team Shashi Tharoor, Bilawal Bhutto To Jostle In US This Week As India And Pakistan Step Up Diplomatic Push :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/team-shashi-tharoor-bilawal-bhutto-to-jostle-in-us-this-week-as-india-and-pakistan-step-up-diplomat-4170769.html?ref=DMDesc United Nations Under-Secretary-General For Peace Operations Praises India :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/united-nations-under-secretary-general-for-peace-operations-praises-india-4168359.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~
