Election Fraud Claims: BJP exposes Rahul Gandhi’s Baseless Attack on Democracy

Rahul Gandhi has once again resorted to Election Fraud Claims to cast doubt on India's electoral system. From raising questions on EVMs to now alleging "match-fixing" in Maharashtra, his narrative of Election Fraud Claims has no evidence. Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde, and JP Nadda have all slammed these Election Fraud Claims, calling them an insult to the people’s verdict. The Election Commission, too, has dismissed these charges as unfounded and misleading. Repeating Election Fraud Claims after every defeat weakens democracy and insults honest voters. It's time to reject fake narratives and trust the electoral process. #ElectionFraudClaims #RahulGandhiExposed #TrustElectionsIndia #DemocracyNotDrama #ECIClarifies

500,000 Immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela at Risk | SC backs Trump’s ANTI-IMMIGRANT policies

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to end the Biden-era humanitarian parole program that granted temporary legal status to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The decision potentially paves the way for the deportation of over 500,000 migrants. Liberal justices, including Jackson and Sotomayor, dissented, citing the ruling’s human cost. The case highlights the ongoing legal battle over immigration authority and could influence future policies, including birthright citizenship. #SupremeCourt #ImmigrationPolicy #Trump #BidenEraRollback #HumanitarianParole #MigrantRights #Deportation #SCOTUSRuling #LatinAmericaMigrants #ParoleProgram #ImmigrationReform #JacksonDissent #Sotomayor #USImmigration #Cuba #Haiti #Nicaragua #Venezuela #LegalStatus #HomelandSecurity #BirthrightCitizenship #TrumpImmigration #ImmigrationCrisis #SCOTUSWatch #BidenPolicy #ImmigrationDebate #USBorderCrisis #MigrantDeportation #FederalLaw #SupremeCourtNews Also Read Trump Administration Halts New Student Visa Interviews While Considering Social Media Vetting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-halts-student-visa-interviews-social-media-vetting-011-4165557.html?ref=DMDesc Government Evaluates Impeachment Motion Against Justice Yashwant Varma Amid Probe Findings :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/government-weighs-impeachment-motion-against-justice-varma-011-4165553.html?ref=DMDesc Supreme Court Halts Bhushan Power Liquidation Pending JSW Steel's Review Plea :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/supreme-court-halts-bhushan-power-liquidation-pending-jsw-steels-review-plea-4163971.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.122~

Trump Sparks Outrage With AI Pope Image After Joking He Wants To Succeed Francis | Papal Conclave [Video]

Trump Sparks Outrage With AI Pope Image After Joking He Wants To Succeed Francis | Papal Conclave

Donald Trump is facing intense backlash after sharing an AI-generated image of himself in papal robes, just days after Pope Francis’ death. Trump had recently joked about wanting to become the next Pope, igniting further outrage. Critics called the move “disrespectful” and “narcissistic,” accusing him of mocking Catholic traditions and the late pontiff. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham added fuel by endorsing Trump as a “dark horse” papal candidate. Trump attended Pope Francis’ funeral, but his social media post has drawn global condemnation and stirred debate about religious sensitivity and satire. #Trump #PopeFrancis #AIImage #Vatican #CatholicChurch #Mockery #SocialMediaBacklash #TrumpControversy #PapalSatire #FrancisDeath #DonaldTrump #Religion #AIcontroversy #LindseyGraham #TrumpAsPope #Disrespect #CatholicsReact #USPolitics #SatireOrInsult #TrumpMeme Also Read Why Donald Trump's Trade Tariffs Are Threat To Global Food Security :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-donald-trumps-trade-tariffs-are-threat-to-global-food-security-4142083.html?ref=DMDesc CIA, Other Spy Agencies Set To Shrink Workforce Under Donald Trump Administration Plan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/cia-other-spy-agencies-set-to-shrink-workforce-under-donald-trump-administration-plan-4142055.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Viral Video: Was He Mocking Pakistan’s Water Crisis Or Something Else?
