Sajjan Kumar gets two life terms for 2 murders during 1984 riots

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 25 February 2025
A Delhi court has sentenced former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar to two life terms for murdering a Sikh man and his son during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Despite the brutal nature of the crimes, mitigating factors such as Kumar's age and health led the judge to opt for life imprisonment instead of the death penalty. Kumar is already serving another life sentence for similar crimes.

Rahul Gandhi Backs Trump’s ‘Dead Economy’ Jibe on India — Statement Backfires Amid National Outrage

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has stirred controversy after endorsing Donald Trump’s recent comment calling India a “dead economy.” Gandhi said he was “glad Trump stated a fact,” drawing sharp criticism from across the political spectrum. What was intended as a dig at the Modi government quickly backfired, with critics accusing Gandhi of siding with a foreign leader to malign India on the global stage. #RahulGandhi #TrumpDeadEconomy #DeadEconomyComment #RahulBacksTrump #IndianEconomyDebate #RahulGandhiSpeech #TrumpIndiaRemark #RahulVsModi #RahulGandhiControversy #EconomyPoliticalRow #RahulTrumpRemark #IndianEconomyCrisis #CongressVsBJP #RahulGandhiNews #TrumpIndiaEconomy #DeadEconomyClaim #RahulGandhiPolitics ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~GR.122~

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS? Islam BOOMS Globally as Millions in the West ABANDON Church And Faith

Between 2010 and 2020, the world’s population grew—and so did most major religious groups. Christianity remains the largest religion at 2.3 billion, but its global share fell to 28.8% as more people left the faith, especially in Western nations. Islam experienced the fastest growth, adding 347 million to reach 2 billion globally, fueled by high fertility rates and youthful populations. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated rose to 24.2%, driven by secular trends in countries like China, the U.S., and Japan. Demographic shifts suggest Islam could match Christianity by mid-century. #GlobalFaith #Christianity #Islam #ReligionTrends #ReligiousGrowth #FaithShift #ReligionReport #WorldDemographics #ChristianDecline #IslamRise #ReligiousChange #Unaffiliated #SecularTrends #SubSaharanAfrica #FertilityRates #YouthPopulation #ReligiousSwitching #WesternSecularism #ReligionStats #GlobalPopulation #ReligionIn2020 #Buddhism #Hinduism #Judaism #FaithStats #MidCenturyProjections #ReligionMatters #WorldReligionReport #ReligiousFuture #GlobalReligion #ReligiousLandscape Also Read Authorities Launch Probe into Allegations of Sikh Conversions to Christianity in Pilibhit :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/probe-into-allegations-of-sikh-conversions-in-pilibhit-011-4156455.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~
