Jairam Ramesh 'misses' EC meet after 2-person cap alters Congress plan

IndiaTimes Thursday, 3 July 2025
Despite the Election Commission's specific invitation to party heads for a meeting on Bihar's electoral roll revision, many parties, including Congress, DMK, and TMC, did not send confirmations or their designated leaders. Congress initially arrived with a larger delegation but adhered to the two-person limit, while only CPI and CPI(ML) Liberation had their heads present.

Trump Renames Pentagon as ‘Department of War’ — Declares America Must Return to Offense, Not Defense

Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order renaming the Pentagon’s Department of Defense back to its historic title — the Department of War. Calling it a return to America’s “warrior ethos,” Trump argues that the U.S. secured victories in World War I and World War II under the War Department, but lost its offensive edge after the switch to Defense. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, now to be called Secretary of War, backs the shift as a cultural and strategic reset for the military. But will Congress allow this move to stand? Or is Trump rewriting America’s military legacy on his own? #Trump #DepartmentOfWar #Pentagon #USMilitary #WarriorEthos #PeteHegseth #WhiteHouse #ExecutiveOrder #WorldWarHistory #DefenseToWar ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~GR.122~
