"Juvenile, Shallow": Jairam Ramesh On JP Nadda's "110 insults" Claim

A BJP leader's invective for Rahul Gandhi -- that he is the "number one terrorist" -- has snowballed into a huge row, with leaders of the Congress and the BJP carrying on a no-holds barred epistolary war. First it was Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge writing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the response to which came this morning from BJP chief JP Nadda. While it was formally answered by Jairam Ramesh, the Congress's communications in-charge, a barrage of verbal criticism came from the party's other leaders. With each letter, the barbs have got sharper. "The Congress is shocked that the letter written by our president and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Shri Mallikarjun Kharge ji to the Prime Minister was passed on to you to respond... Your response to Mallikarjun Kharge's letter to the prime minister is both juvenile and shallow, and a shameful attempt to distract from the serious threats to Rahul Gandhi's life," Mr Ramesh wrote. &quo

UP Man Promises To Marry 50 Women, Including A Judge, And Cheats Them

He befriended women online and asked them to marry him. And once he had earned the women's trust, he would disappear with their money. This was the modus operandi of Mukeem Khan, a conman who had cheated over 50 women across the country, including a woman judge who failed to see through his lies. Khan, 38, a resident of Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh, was arrested by the Delhi Police Crime Branch recently for extorting money from women on false pretexts. He created multiple accounts on matrimonial websites with fake identities and trapped women in his intricate web of lies. Khan told the cops he used to target Muslim women - unmarried, widowed and divorced - for marriage. He introduced himself as a government officer and enticed them with fake stories about his wife being dead and he being unable to take care of his daughter.

Australian Woman With Rare Condition Grows Uterus After Never Experiencing Puberty

Ashley Reilly, a 21-year-old woman from Western Australia, has shared her extraordinary journey of experiencing a rare medical phenomenon where she 'grew a uterus' despite never experiencing puberty, the New York Post reported. Her story began in primary school, where she watched her friends embark on the journey of adolescence, marked by menstruation and physical changes. However, she never experienced the same physical changes, leaving her feeling confused and isolated. It wasn't until Ashley was 16 that she shared her struggles with her mother and aunt, who took her to a doctor.  ''For me, it just never happened. I didn't speak up about it, because I wasn't sure if it was normal or if I was a late bloomer,'' she told news.com.au. The ultrasound revealed that Ashley's reproductive anatomy was significantly underdeveloped. She had no uterus, no cervix, and a shortened vaginal canal. This led to a diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (M

Russia, Ukraine Swap 206 Prisoners Of War In UAE-Brokered Deal

Moscow and Kyiv swapped 103 prisoners of war each on Saturday in a deal brokered by the United Arab Emirates, a rare moment of coordination between the two warring sides as Russia pushes ahead in east Ukraine. The Russians released in the swap were captured during Ukraine's incursion into the Kursk region, Moscow said, while some of the Ukrainians freed had been held prisoner since Moscow seized the Azovstal steel plant in May 2022. "Another 103 soldiers were returned to Ukraine from Russian captivity," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Telegram. Among the freed were 82 privates and sergeants as well as 21 officers, Zelensky said. "The defenders of Kyiv, Donetsk, Mariupol and Azovstal, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia and the Kharkiv regions," he added.
