Nation in Turmoil: Stampede Chaos and Parliamentary Walkouts

The nation reels from a stampede in Hathras with a death toll reaching 121. Prime Minister Modi claims the 2024 election victory rejects propaganda. Opposition parties staged a walkout during Modi's speech. The Calcutta High Court adjourns a defamation suit by West Bengal Governor against Mamata Banerjee.

A harrowing scene unfolded in Hathras as the death toll from the stampede at a 'satsang' surged to 121. With 2.5 lakh attendees crammed into a venue meant for 80,000, an FIR has been lodged against the event organizers for flouting regulations.

Nationwide, political tensions simmered as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, following his party's 2024 general election victory, stated that the results showcased the people's rejection of propaganda in favor of performance. However, not all were in agreement; the INDIA bloc, led by Congress, staged a dramatic walkout from Rajya Sabha, protesting the lack of opportunity to interject during Modi's address.

In another high-profile legal matter, the Calcutta High Court deferred the hearing of a defamation suit filed by West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, further intensifying political drama within the state.
