Pragya Thakur, 6 Others Walk Free in Malegaon Blast Case—After Shah's ‘No Hindu...Terrorist' Remark

Seventeen years after the deadly 2008 Malegaon blast rocked Maharashtra, a special NIA court in Mumbai has acquitted all seven accused — including BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit — citing lack of concrete evidence. The judgment came just one day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah told the Rajya Sabha that "no Hindu can ever be a terrorist." The court emphasized that terrorism has no religion and that justice cannot be based on public perception or moral bias. This landmark verdict reignites debates on communal narratives, judicial process, and political influence in terror trials. #MalegaonBlast #PragyaThakur #AmitShah #HinduTerror #CourtVerdict #BreakingNews #IndiaPolitics #NIA #JudicialSystem #TerrorismDebate #CommunalPolitics #JusticeInIndia Also Read 2008 Malegaon Blast: Here Is The Timeline of The Case :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/2008-malegaon-blast-here-is-the-timeline-of-the-case-7816633.html?ref=DMDesc Pragya Thakur Makes Bhopal Girl Watch ‘The Kerala Story’, She Elopes With Muslim Days Later :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pragya-thakur-makes-bhopal-girl-watch-the-kerala-story-she-elopes-with-muslim-days-later-3570005.html?ref=DMDesc BJP MP Pragya Thakur booked in Karnataka over 'keep your knives sharp' remark :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bjp-mp-pragya-thakur-booked-in-karnataka-over-keep-your-knives-sharp-remark-3505152.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.274~GR.125~ED.346~

‘Dead Economies Down Together’ Trump UNLEASHES Fury On India-Russia Ties | Trump’s Dark Warning

In a fiery new outburst, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has launched an explosive attack on both India and Russia, warning of the collapse of their “dead economies” and telling Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev to “watch his words” or risk entering “very dangerous territory.” Trump dismissed India’s trade ties with the U.S., accusing New Delhi of imposing the world’s highest tariffs and claiming America has “done very little business” with the country. Slamming Medvedev as a “failed former President,” Trump warned him not to provoke the U.S. with “delusional” statements about global politics. The sharp rhetoric signals rising tensions, especially as India maintains warm relations with Russia amid global realignments. Trump’s remarks, laced with economic and diplomatic threats, may significantly alter the dynamics between the U.S., India, and Russia — three nations at the crossroads of shifting geopolitical fault lines. #Trump #IndiaRussia #DonaldTrump #Medvedev #Geopolitics #IndiaUSRelations #RussiaUS #TrumpWarning #USPolitics #TradeWar #USIndiaTensions #TrumpSpeech #MedvedevRussia #DangerousTerritory #TrumpVsMedvedev #IndiaTariffs #WorldTrade #GlobalDiplomacy #TrumpAttack #RussiaNews Also Read They Can Take Their Dead Economies Down Together: Donald Trump Slams India, Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/they-can-take-their-dead-economies-down-together-donald-trump-slams-india-russia-7816541.html?ref=DMDesc Chennai-Vladivostok Maritime Corridor: How This Will Boost India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/chennai-vladivostok-maritime-corridor-how-this-will-boost-india-russia-trade-3992631.html?ref=DMDesc Vladimir Putin's India Visit: Dates To Be Announced Soon, Confirms Kremlin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/vladimir-putins-india-visit-dates-to-be-announced-soon-confirms-kremlin-3991691.html?ref=DMDesc

Hamas LOOTING Gaza Aid? IDF Releases EXPLOSIVE Video Claiming Hamas Is Starving Gaza On Purpose

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released footage allegedly showing Hamas fighters taking control of aid containers in Gaza. The IDF accuses Hamas of looting humanitarian supplies meant for civilians. Hamas denies the allegation, claiming its personnel ensure secure aid distribution. The video follows a New York Times report where Israeli officials admitted no proof exists of systematic aid theft. With global pressure mounting—from the U.S. to Europe—the war of narratives over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis continues to intensify. #Hamas #IDF #GazaAid #HumanitarianCrisis #MiddleEast #IsraelPalestine #Gaza #WarFootage #AidDistribution #AbuObeida #EzzedineAlQassam #GazaWar #BreakingNews #ConflictZone #IsraelNews #PalestineNews #NYTReport #TrumpComments #UNAid #USAID #MiddleEastPolitics #GazaStrip #WarOnTerror #MediaWar #HamasDenial #IDFClaims #GazaRelief #InternationalAid #GlobalReaction #WarNarrative #PeaceCrisis Also Read Israel's Troop Presence in Gaza Complicates Ceasefire Negotiations with Hamas :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-troops-gaza-complicates-truce-talks-011-7796581.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.125~ED.420~
