- J&K Assembly disrupted over controversial Waqf Amendment Law for the second day.

Tensions in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly remain high as opposition members continue to protest against the Waqf Amendment Law. For a second consecutive day, heated arguments and disruptions forced adjournments. This reflects deep political divides over control and management of religious endowments.
Meanwhile, Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has written to President Droupadi Murmu. He highlighted the plight of thousands of school teachers in West Bengal who lost their jobs.
From Parliament to Paharganj: India Grapples with Law, Jobs, and Crime
The Jammu & Kashmir Assembly is witnessing fierce protests surrounding the Waqf Amendment Law, with legislators accusing the administration of overreach. The ruckus highlights growing concerns about the central government‘s influence in religious and community affairs, particularly in union territories.
Rahul Gandhi’s letter to the President represents a significant political move. He attempts to bring national focus to the West Bengal teacher recruitment crisis. His call for justice for candidates who passed through legitimate means is gaining traction on social media and among teacher unions.
In a major policing development, Delhi Police’s Crime Branch busted a cricket betting racket in Paharganj amid the ongoing IPL 2025 season. Six men were arrested and multiple electronic devices were confiscated. This indicates an organized network handling online betting transactions.
Authorities suggest that the busted ring is just one part of a wider betting ecosystem that spikes during cricket tournaments. Investigations are ongoing to uncover connections to larger betting syndicates operating nationally and potentially internationally.
These developments reflect India’s multi-front challenges—from legislative unrest and employment justice to law enforcement cracking down on illicit activities amid the IPL frenzy.
