Protests turned violent in Parbhani, Maharashtra after an unidentified person damaged a replica of the Constitution held by the statue of Babasaheb Ambedkar. The agitators demanded strict punishment for those responsible and the police had to use tear gas shells to control the crowd. Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi president Prakash Ambedkar showed his support for the protesters and warned of consequences if the miscreants were not arrested within 24 hours. Meanwhile, Minister of State for Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju accused the Congress of diverting attention from the George Soros controversy by attacking Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar.
The Rajya Sabha was thrown into chaos on Monday as BJP president JP Nadda accused Congress of being a "tool" of foreign forces and trying to destabilize India. In response, Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge slammed the claims as lies and stated that his party is committed to upholding India's democratic values. The tensions between the two parties led to multiple adjournments in the Upper House, with Nadda demanding a discussion on links between Sonia Gandhi and the Soros-founded think tank.
In a press conference at the BJP headquarters, senior leader Ravi Shankar Prasad rejected the Opposition's demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the allegations against Sebi chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch. Prasad accused the Congress, Hindenburg Research, and the "toolkit gang" of being part of a conspiracy to damage India's stock market and investments. He also alleged that the main investor behind Hindenburg Research was "India hater" George Soros. Prasad's remarks come a day after the BJP accused the Congress of colluding with foreign forces to destabilise the Indian economy.
Experts have revealed a sinister toolkit aimed at undermining the Adani Group's business activities, linking it with a coalition of Communists, Pakistanis, Islamic radicals, billionaire George Soros, and the Western deep state. The toolkit came to light after several foreign media outlets, including The Financial Times and OCCRP, reported on alleged discrepancies in the Group's coal sales a decade ago. According to the experts, the toolkit, which includes propaganda articles by journalist Anand Mangnale, was designed to spread false information and disrupt the Adani Group's business operations. However, market experts and analysts have dismissed these claims as mere distractions, pointing out that similar attacks have been made in the past by the same foreign media organisations. The Adani Group has also received support from US-based global brokerage Cantor Fitzgerald, who called the recent FT article "noise from a long time ago".
