Hemant Soren is again all set to become the chief minister and unceremoniously he has removed the present chief minister, Champai Soren from his post...Hemant Soren is likely to take over as the next chief minister in the next couple of days.

The power remains restricted to the family and that is a sad state of affairs

"What PM said in Rajya Sabha today on Manipur is different from reality. In February 2022, BJP and its allies garnered more than 2/3rd share of votes (in Manipur). Within 15 months, Manipur started burning. It is a conspiracy hatched inside. PM has not been to Manipur to date. He had not said a word before today. Today, he was compelled to speak up. There was not much mention of Manipur in the President's Address. On 1st July, Inner Manipur MP Bimol Akoijam also expressed that Manipur has not been mentioned. What is this hypocrisy? When Opposition walked out as LoP was not given the opportunity to give a rebuttal to the lies that were being repeatedly said by the PM. When Opposition walked out, the PM said a few words about Manipur. The words he used were different from reality. Even today, the people of Manipur are asking why is the PM not visiting Manipur.This is hypocrisy," said Jairam Ramesh

Judge delays Trump’s hush money sentencing until at least September after high court immunity ruling
In a major reprieve for former President Donald Trump, sentencing for his hush money convictions was postponed Tuesday until at least September — if ever — as the judge agreed to weigh the possible impact of a new Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Trump had been scheduled to face sentencing July 11, just before the Republicans' nominating convention, on his New York convictions on felony charges of falsifying business records. He denies any wrongdoing. The postponement sets the sentencing for Sept. 18 at the earliest — if it happens at all, since Trump's lawyers are arguing that the Supreme Court ruling merits not only delaying the sentencing but tossing out his conviction. “The impact of the Immunity Ruling is a loud and clear signal for Justice in the United States,” Trump crowed on his Truth Social media site after the sentencing was delayed.
Hezbollah’s deputy leader says group would stop fighting with Israel after Gaza cease-fire
The deputy leader of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah said Tuesday the only sure path to a cease-fire on the Lebanon-Israel border is a full cease-fire in Gaza. “If there is a cease-fire in Gaza, we will stop without any discussion,” Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Sheikh Naim Kassem, said in an interview with The Associated Press at the group’s political office in Beirut’s southern suburbs. Hezbollah's participation in the Israel-Hamas war has been as a “support front” for its ally, Hamas, Kassem said, and “if the war stops, this military support will no longer exist.” But, he said, if Israel scales back its military operations without a formal cease-fire agreement and full withdrawal from Gaza, the implications for the Lebanon-Israel border conflict are less clear.
