Let me first go and take charge, and then I will share the plans. I would like to thank the selection committee and the Trust. It is also by the grace of Lord Ram, so I do not wish to say much more. My heart is filled with gratitude, and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been given this responsibility twice in my life - once in the service of the nation, and now in the service of Ram temple, his devotees, and the administration of the temple."

VIDEO | On RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's event at Madison Square Garden, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says, "... I also stand here as the first Indian American mayor in our city's history. My mother's family is all still in India. The vision of India that I was taught by my family and the one that I grew up being very familiar with was of a pluralistic society, of a secular republic, that believed in the belonging of each and every person who was from India. It has been incredibly troubling to see the rise of a movement that is predicated on an exclusionary vision of any country, frankly. So it is one that I find myself in deep opposition to. Not only as an Indian-American, but also as the mayor of a city that believes deeply in the belonging of each and every person, no matter their colour, their creed, their religion, their faith, wherever they're from... I don't support the rally, but I don't know if the city has any jurisdiction on canceling a private event." (Source: NYC Mayor Office)

VIDEO | Delhi: When asked about his X post regarding retired Additional Secretary Ashish Joshi, Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit says, "Ashish Joshi ji has been my junior in college. I've known him for a long while. He was in the government and recently retired as Additional Secretary to the Government of India. And he keeps tweeting, you know, in some name. Apparently, he's quite popular. So, this morning he called me. I couldn't call back for a while. Then, when I called him later on, his phone was out of reach. Then I was a little worried, and then his family, his wife, also called me, and she said they're also pretty worried. So, we said, okay, let's try and find out...I would, through you and through everybody who can see this thing, at least tell us where Mr Ashish Joshi is..."

VIDEO | Delhi: Congress MP and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi says, "Dalits are not allowed to drink water from the village well, forcing them to dig their own wells because they are barred from using the common village well. At tea stalls, two types of cups are used - reusable glass cups and disposable paper or plastic cups. Dalits are served in the disposable cups, while others are served in glass cups. This is the reality of India - the reality of North India, and it is visible in both cities and villages. Dalits have to wear helmets to protect themselves from stones in their own wedding processions." (Full video available on PTI Videos -

VIDEO | Ahead of its inaugural season, European T20 Premier League co-owner Abhishek Bachchan said, "The European T20 Premier League is not looking to compete with football or other established sports for audience attention but aims to carve out its own space in the continent's sporting landscape." "To be blunt, I wouldn't be sitting in front of you if I didn't think that there was potential and I didn't see a market over there. It's an exciting new market for us. There is a huge potential in Europe to follow cricket, not just with the traditional already playing cricket nations in Europe. I think that it's the dawn of a new horizon for a sport in Europe and I have immense confidence that in time to come Europe is going to have a very, very healthy cricketing market," Bachchan said.

VIDEO | Maharashtra: As Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi is planned to visit Nashik today, Chhatron Ki Goonj programme, Shiv Sena spokesperson Shaina NC (Shaina Chudasama Munot) says, "This is Maharashtra. This is the land of Savarkar ji. When you come to Maharashtra, Rahul Gandhi, you must apologise for all your wrongdoings. You go to London, you defame the country. You go to London, you defame Savarkar ji. You come back and you apologise. Now I think a public apology is required. When you talk about Chhatron Ki Goonj, in that Chhatron Ki Goonj, there should be Savarkar Ki Goonj। If their family has gone to court saying that Savarkar ji was not a Muslim hater, if at all he was somebody who proposed that humanity should be one, that is something that you have overlooked. And I want to ask this Thackeray family, why are they quiet on the Savarkar issue and why have they not responded to their so-called alliance partner. Maybe Mr. Rahul Gandhi, we will welcome you in Nashik with the unconditional apology to Veer Savarkar." #ChhatronKiGoonj

VIDEO | Like the thread holding these photographs together, hope is all that remains for many families gathered at Teaching Hospital in Kathmandu. Each photograph carries a name, a face, a memory, and a painful, unanswered question: Is my loved one still alive? Relatives pore over hospital lists and scan photograph after photograph, searching for a familiar face, holding on to the fragile hope that their missing family members may have survived the devastating flash floods that struck Nepal on August 26.

VIDEO | Delhi: BJP MP and national spokesperson Sambit Patra, at a press conference, says, "This press conference is serious because I want to say from the bottom of my heart that we need to think very seriously about where we want to take the country, what direction the country is moving in and what India's future is. When we were teenagers, whenever we saw pictures of places abroad, we used to wonder why India could not be like that and why it was the way it was. The American dream became a benchmark for us. India can also have a goal, and on August 15, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi outlined that goal before the country from the Red Fort." (Full video available on PTI Videos -

VIDEO | The Supreme Court passes order quashing all the FIRs against protesters during NEET protests. Advocate Vrinda Grover informs, "The honourable Supreme Court of India has today passed a very significant order. As we know that from 20th to 25th July, there were very active protests in Delhi, at Jantar Mantar and in many parts of the country relating to reform in education. During the protests, police across states have launched cases, criminal cases against the protesters, against the youth. There is now an assurance that was given on 25th July by the Union government to the Cockroach Janta Party representatives that they will not pursue any of the criminal proceedings and they will give compensation. In so far as the innumerable FIRs launched across states, from Bihar to West Bengal, UP, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Delhi, of course. All those FIRs today, by the order of the honourable Supreme Court, and with the applications were moved by the states. So the states and the Union government have said that they will not pursue, they are to be quashed and the court has passed an order quashing the FIRs, all the FIRs. The Supreme Court has invoked its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 142 of the Constitution of India because the court says the right to protest, the freedom to protest and express yourself is a fundamental right and that cannot be taken away. What is also significant is that with regards to the compensation they have agreed that it will be formulated and paid in the next three months..." #SupremeCourt #NEETProtests

VIDEO | Delhi: Trans-athlete Anaya Bangar, a left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder and daughter of former India player and decorated coach Sanjay Bangar, says she was heartbroken after being 'served with silence' by the BCCI when she first approached the Board for assistance in becoming part of India's women's cricket set-up. The 25-year-old found support from Cricket Australia, which allowed her to compete at the community shield level. She said, "It is very disappointing and heartbreaking that I was served with silence. I knew that transitioning was going to make me steer away from cricket. I hope that the BCCI is open to this and tries to form policies surrounding this topic, since my case is a first in India. "I would be happy to be a part of the team and provide my insights and learnings throughout my whole journey and what would work best for our country and women's sport in the future," she added.
