IndiaTimes Thursday, 24 July 2025
Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal informed the Rajya Sabha that High Court collegiums have not recommended candidates for 193 out of 371 vacant judge positions, representing over 52% of the total vacancies. This revelation came in response to Mallikarjun Kharge's inquiry regarding pending Supreme Court collegium recommendations for High Court judge appointments. The query was prompted by recent Supreme Court observations on the government's need to expedite clearances.

Modi's August Shock? J&K Statehood Returns To News As Omar Abdullah Predicts Major Political Twist

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. #Modi #OmarAbdullah #JammuAndKashmir #Statehood #AmitShah #Murmu #J&KPolitics #Article370 #IndiaNews #PoliticalBuzz #UnionTerritory #RestorationOfStatehood #BreakingNews #JammuKashmirUpdate #ModiPromise #NC #Congress #NationalConference #BJP #IndianPolitics #JammuAndKashmirNews #StatehoodDemand #Kashmir #KashmirBuzz #MurmuModiMeet #ShahInKashmir #OmarSpeaks #JammuUpdate #IndianGovt #August5 Also Read Amit Shah In Rajya Sabha Says "Hindus Can Never Be Terrorists" :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/amit-shah-in-rajya-sabha-says-hindus-can-never-be-terrorists-7816165.html?ref=DMDesc Amit Shah Slams Congress Over Operation Sindoor, Says “Pakistan Was Brought to Its Knees” :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/amit-shah-slams-congress-over-operation-sindoor-says-pakistan-was-brought-to-its-knees-7816059.html?ref=DMDesc 3 Pahalgam Attack Terrorists Killed In Operation Mahadev, Amit Shah Slams Opposition in Lok Sabha :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/3-pahalgam-attack-terrorists-killed-in-operation-mahadev-amit-shah-slams-opposition-in-lok-sabha-7813891.html?ref=DMDesc

Pragya Thakur, 6 Others Walk Free in Malegaon Blast Case—After Shah's ‘No Hindu...Terrorist' Remark

Seventeen years after the deadly 2008 Malegaon blast rocked Maharashtra, a special NIA court in Mumbai has acquitted all seven accused — including BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit — citing lack of concrete evidence. The judgment came just one day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah told the Rajya Sabha that "no Hindu can ever be a terrorist." The court emphasized that terrorism has no religion and that justice cannot be based on public perception or moral bias. This landmark verdict reignites debates on communal narratives, judicial process, and political influence in terror trials. #MalegaonBlast #PragyaThakur #AmitShah #HinduTerror #CourtVerdict #BreakingNews #IndiaPolitics #NIA #JudicialSystem #TerrorismDebate #CommunalPolitics #JusticeInIndia Also Read 2008 Malegaon Blast: Here Is The Timeline of The Case :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/2008-malegaon-blast-here-is-the-timeline-of-the-case-7816633.html?ref=DMDesc Pragya Thakur Makes Bhopal Girl Watch ‘The Kerala Story’, She Elopes With Muslim Days Later :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pragya-thakur-makes-bhopal-girl-watch-the-kerala-story-she-elopes-with-muslim-days-later-3570005.html?ref=DMDesc BJP MP Pragya Thakur booked in Karnataka over 'keep your knives sharp' remark :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bjp-mp-pragya-thakur-booked-in-karnataka-over-keep-your-knives-sharp-remark-3505152.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.274~GR.125~ED.346~

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!
