Political Turmoil and Social Movements Shape India's Current Discourse

The latest political and social developments in India include controversies involving stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, allegations by BJP against Congress over Muslim quotas, an aircraft's narrow escape during landing, release of detained farmers, and resolutions in the Maharashtra assembly. These stories reflect the current socio-political climate in India.

Maharashtra's political scene sizzles as Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis demands an apology from comedian Kunal Kamra, following accusations of Kamra insulting Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. The situation escalated with the arrest of 12 Shiv Sena workers for vandalizing Kamra's show venue over his remarks.

In New Delhi, the BJP has accused Congress of harboring a secret agenda aimed at altering the Constitution to favor Muslim quotas. The issue was sparked by remarks made by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar that reignited the debate about minority reservations.

Meanwhile, an aircraft carrying officials narrowly missed its landing at Shimla's Jubbarhatti Airport, highlighting safety concerns in aviation. In an unrelated development, Punjab police announced the release of detained farmers, following a crackdown on their protests.
