Priest alleging mistreatment allowed to take dip in Mansarovar lake

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.

In a significant decision, the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved changes in guidelines on investments from countries sharing land border with India (LBCs), including China.

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.

Former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur on Monday launched a sharp attack on the state government, alleging that the Congress-led dispensation has failed during its more than three-and-a-half-year tenure and that decisions in the state are being taken by a "friends' circle" rather than through the cabinet.
