RAO All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary Deepa Dasmunsi on Saturday accused the BJP and the RSS of betraying the faith of millions of devotees by ‘allowing financial irregularities’ in the management of donations collected for the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Addressing the media at Andhra Ratna Bhavan, she demanded a Supreme Court-monitored judicial probe into the alleged embezzlement of donations and sought accountability from the Union government. Ms. Dasmunsi said the Congress was raising three key questions before the nation: who would take responsibility for the alleged irregularities in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust; why the resignations of former general secretary Champat Rai and trustee Anil Mishra had been accepted if everything was transparent; and why the Centre was unwilling to order an independent investigation under the supervision of the Supreme Court. The Congress leader alleged that while action had been initiated against lower-rung employees, senior functionaries had escaped accountability. Dasmunsi called for FIRs and arrests of all those allegedly involved, dissolution and reconstitution of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, a forensic audit of all donations and expenditures and a judicial inquiry monitored by the Supreme Court.

Ashok on Saturday alleged that the Congress government had awarded a 30-year contract for Bengaluru’s solid waste management project despite having only about one-and-a-half years left in office, claiming the decision raised questions about “possible corruption”. Ashok warned that farmers would lose their livelihoods if the project went ahead. “This Congress government must go. Vijayendra claimed that it was the BJP, and not the Congress, that had genuinely worked for the welfare of AHINDA communities. He alleged that the Congress had come to power in the name of AHINDA but failed to protect backward classes and Kayaka communities when they needed support. “The Congress has lost the moral right to invoke the names of Dr. Vijayendra accused the Congress of making baseless allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi because he belongs to the backward classes. “The Congress ruled the country for decades but never wiped the tears of the Kayaka communities. He further claimed that the Union Cabinet has 27 ministers from backward classes and accused the Congress of diverting funds meant for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in Karnataka to Telangana during the last Lok Sabha elections. “The people will teach the Congress a fitting lesson in the next election,” he added.

UK police free suspect in ex-MP Ann Widdecombe murder investigation

A man who was arrested on suspicion of murdering former British government minister Ann Widdecombe has been released and is no longer part of the investigation, police said. This comes as detectives revealed the killing took place a day before Widdecombe’s body was found at her home in rural southwest England on Thursday. Devon and Cornwall Police said a 26-year-old white British national was arrested in Newton Abbot, about 14.5 kilometres (nine miles) from Widdecombe’s home, on Friday, before being freed on Saturday. Officers now believe the 78-year-old was attacked on Wednesday around 11:30 GMT, a day before ambulance workers called police to her home, where she was found dead with serious injuries. Police said they had found no evidence the killing was “terrorism”-related or politically motivated. They also said the suspect was believed to be a white male and that there was no wider risk to the public. Widdecombe was known for her socially conservative views, first as ⁠a junior minister in Conservative Prime Minister John Major’s 1992-1997 government and latterly as an immigration spokesperson for Nigel Farage’s far-right populist Reform UK . She converted to Catholicism partly in protest at the Church of England’s ordination of women as priests and was opposed to abortion and to equalising ⁠the age of consent for homosexual and heterosexual relationships. She also defended a policy of shackling pregnant prisoners during childbirth to prevent their escape and viewed single mothers as poor role ⁠models, but was unusual among Conservative lawmakers in opposing the hunting of ⁠foxes with hounds. News of her death led to tributes on Friday from across the political spectrum in the UK, including from Prime Minister Keir Starmer and from Farage, who described her as “an extraordinary woman”. “She stood up and fought for what she believed in – a devout Christian and somebody with strong, socially ‌conservative views,” Farage said in a video clip posted on his X account.

Trump administration subpoenas New York Times journalists over new Air Force One reporting

Outlet said journalists subpoenaed to testify before grand jury after story detailed security concerns with Qatar-gifted plane The Trump administration has issued subpoenas to several New York Times journalists after the newspaper reported on security concerns with the president’s new plane, according to the outlet . The Times said its journalists were subpoenaed on Friday by the US justice department to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan five days later, marking the latest effort by the Trump administration to compel testimony from journalists under the threat of penalty. Agents delivered some of the subpoenas to the Times reporters at their homes, the paper added. US justice department spokespeople did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday about the subpoenas. Press freedom advocates, meanwhile, expressed consternation over the subpoenas. A statement from the Washington DC-based National Press Club said federal prosecutors’ “decision to subpoena journalists at the New York Times should alarm every American because it threatens the public’s constitutional right to an independent press”. “The National Press Club calls on the justice department to immediately withdraw these subpoenas and reaffirm a principle that has long distinguished the United States: a free and independent press serves the people, not the government,” the organization continued. Times lawyer David McCraw said in his own statement that “the appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the [US] constitution and the press freedom it protects”. The airplane at the center of the Times report was provided by Qatar as a $400m gift. That happened amid the collapse of a ceasefire with Iran, which shares a border with Turkey and which the US and Israel launched war against in late February. One such recent and prominent example particularly dealing with the news media involved the Trump administration’s pursuit of criminal charges against journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort and photographer Junn Bollman for covering a protest in January at a Minnesota church where an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE (immigration enforcement agency)) official is a pastor.
