26/11 prosecutor, former foreign secretary, 2 others nominated to Rajya Sabha
Sunday, 13 July 2025 President Droupadi Murmu nominated lawyer Ujjwal Nikam, retired diplomat Harsh Vardhan Shringla, RSS worker C Sadanandan Master, and historian Meenakshi Jain to the Rajya Sabha, filling vacancies that had been pending for nearly a year. Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised their contributions, highlighting Nikam's legal expertise, Shringla's diplomatic service, Master's resilience, and Jain's work in preserving cultural heritage.
Amid a flurry of high-level meetings involving PM Modi, President Murmu, and Home Minister Amit Shah, speculation over the restoration of Jammu & Kashmir’s statehood is back in the spotlight. Former CM Omar Abdullah added fuel to the fire by calling the momentum a “gut feeling,” even as he denied meeting any central leaders. The renewed political chatter comes ahead of the August 5 anniversary of Article 370's revocation. While local leaders continue demanding statehood, the Centre has yet to announce a clear timeline.

World powers are aligning against the U.S. as Trump’s aggressive tariff policies fuel backlash. At the upcoming SCO summit in China, leaders including Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Narendra Modi will present a united front against Western dominance. Trump’s penalties on India and Brazil have only pushed them closer to the anti-Western bloc, with Russia emerging as the common thread binding these nations. Experts warn that tariffs may not only damage U.S. economic ties but also accelerate the rise of a multipolar world order.
