JNUSU Councillor files complaint against Anurag Thakur for his controversial remark

Himachal Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu chaired a workshop at IGMC Shimla organised on the occasion of International Women's Day, where women who had performed outstanding work were honoured.

"The opposition has brought a no-confidence motion against the Lok Sabha Speaker. Rahul Gandhi had the opportunity to speak for as long as he wanted, as time was allotted for his party. However, they lack facts, arguments, and any substantial basis. Today, the opposition stands completely exposed. The nation has seen how some members dance on tables, tear up papers and throw them at the Speaker, use pepper spray, and bring banners into the House. Such members should naturally be suspended according to the rules and should not be given a chance to speak," he said.

The response from the student community was overwhelming. A total of 2409 students cast their votes in the referendum. 2181 students (90.54%) voted against the continuation of the Vice Chancellor in JNU. 207 students (8.59%) voted in favour of her continuation. 21 votes (0.87%) were declared invalid.

Himachal Pradesh Congress on Monday organised a felicitation programme at the party's state headquarters, Rajiv Bhawan, in Shimla, to welcome newly elected Rajya Sabha MP Anurag Sharma, who was elected unopposed to the Upper House.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Anurag Thakur on Monday criticised the Opposition over the no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, saying that the Opposition lacks leadership, agenda and logic, and accused them of avoiding debate in Parliament.
