Didn’t ask Congress for names for foreign outreach: Govt

IndiaTimes Sunday, 18 May 2025
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju refuted Congress's claims that the government rejected their MP nominations for anti-terror outreach delegations. Rijiju clarified that informing Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge was merely a courtesy, not a request for nominations. He emphasized that seeking party recommendations for such delegations has never been a standard practice.

Dalai Lama at 90: China’s Challenge and the Future of Tibetan Leadership

As the Dalai Lama turns 90, he declares his successor will not be born in China—defying Beijing’s succession claims. China, which once called Tibetan Buddhism “poison,” insists it will approve any reincarnation. India backs the Tibetan leader, with PM Modi and Minister Kiren Rijiju supporting religious autonomy. The threat of two Dalai Lamas—one genuine, one Chinese-appointed—echoes the Panchen Lama crisis. With global attention rising, the future of Tibetan Buddhism hinges on protecting its sacred, sovereign traditions. #DalaiLama90 #Tibet #ChinaTibet #ReligiousFreedom #TibetanBuddhism #PanchenLama #DalaiLamaSuccession #IndiaSupportsTibet #BeijingVsDharamshala #ModiOnTibet #TibetanRights #GlobalFaith #FreeTibet #SpiritualLeadership #CommunistChina #CulturalHeritage #KirenRijiju #TibetUnderThreat #ChinaInterference #SacredTraditions #TibetanStruggle #AsiaGeopolitics #TwoDalaiLamas #ReincarnationBattle #DalaiLamaStatement Also Read Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?

Trump ORDERS Release Of Full Epstein Documents | Pushes To Declassify Epstein’s DARKEST Secrets [Video]

Trump ORDERS Release Of Full Epstein Documents | Pushes To Declassify Epstein’s DARKEST Secrets

Donald Trump has ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all relevant grand jury documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case — days after outrage erupted over a Wall Street Journal report alleging Trump sent Epstein a nude-themed birthday greeting. Trump blasted the story as “fake” and promised to sue WSJ, accusing them of printing “malicious lies.” The renewed push for transparency comes after mounting pressure from Trump loyalists demanding the infamous Epstein “client list” be made public. Bondi confirmed she’s prepared to move the court to unseal grand jury files. However, legal experts caution that court approval is still needed for any release. It remains unclear which cases the documents pertain to — Epstein’s 2006 charges or the 2019 federal s#x trafficking indictment. The move reignites the political firestorm surrounding Epstein’s powerful connections and the lack of transparency in the government’s handling of his case. #Trump #EpsteinFiles #JeffreyEpstein #EpsteinClientList #PamBondi #DOJ #TrumpVsWSJ #GhislaineMaxwell #FakeNews #GrandJury #FlightLogs #EpsteinCoverup #WSJScandal #TruthSocial #EpsteinDeath #TrumpOrdersRelease #UnsealTheDocs #EpsteinInvestigation #TrumpLawsuit #Murdoch Also Read Slip Of Tongue!
