The ancient city of Mathura finds itself at the center of a high-stakes political contest as Uttar Pradesh gears up for the second phase of the Lok Sabha elections on April 26.
The fate of several prominent faces, including actor Hema Malini, hangs in the balance, adding an air of intrigue to the electoral fray.
Malini, the BJP's candidate from Mathura, is seeking a third consecutive term, banking on her star power and the party's development agenda to woo voters.
However, the opposition has mounted a formidable challenge, with the Congress fielding Mukesh Dhangar.
Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar rebuffed U.S. President Joe Biden's assertion that "xenophobia" was hindering India's economic progress. Speaking at a round table discussion hosted by a newspaper on Friday, Jaishankar emphasised that India's economy is robust and dismissed any suggestion of faltering. He highlighted India's long-standing tradition of openness as a society, refuting claims of xenophobia impacting its economic growth.

Israel has issued Hamas a one-week ultimatum to accept a proposed deal brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar. This agreement entails the release of several hostages in exchange for a six-week cessation of hostilities. The ultimatum was reportedly communicated through Egyptian officials, suggesting Hamas has until the following week to respond. This development follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement indicating Israel's intent to proceed with an operation in Rafah regardless of the deal's outcome.
