Bihar elections: Congress ramps up reservation pitch ahead of PM Modi's visit; alleges NDA has ‘given up’ on 65% quota push

IndiaTimes Friday, 20 June 2025 ()
As PM Modi inaugurates development projects in Bihar, Congress criticizes the NDA government's handling of the proposed 65% reservation for marginalized communities. Jairam Ramesh suggests legislative measures, including constitutional amendments and implementing Article 15(5), to bypass legal hurdles and ensure the reservation's implementation. Congress plans to raise these social justice issues in the upcoming Parliament session.

New Zealand Parliament Erupts Over Haka Protest Against ‘Racist’ Bill | 3 Maori MP's SUSPENDED [Video]

New Zealand Parliament Erupts Over Haka Protest Against ‘Racist’ Bill | 3 Maori MP's SUSPENDED

New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights. #NewZealand #Māori #Haka #Parliament #IndigenousRights #RawiriWaititi #DebbieNgarewaPacker #HanaRawhitiMaipiClarke #TePātiMāori #MāoriCulture #GovernmentProtest #MāoriProtest #PoliticalDebate #CulturalProtest #ControversialBill #MāoriInParliament #IndigenousVoices #PoliticalSuspension #NewZealandPolitics #ParliamentaryProtest #ConservativeGovernment #IndigenousRightsDebate #PublicLife #MāoriRepresentation #GovernmentAgenda #OppositionProtest #CulturalIdentity #PoliticalDiscipline #TePātiMāoriProtest #MāoriTensions Also Read New Zealand Lawmaker Confronts Deepfake Abuse With Bold AI Demonstration In Parliament :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-zealand-mp-stuns-parliament-with-ai-generated-nude-image-to-expose-deepfake-abuse-4172979.html?ref=DMDesc New Zealand Immigration Minister Slammed For Comparing Indian Emails To 'Spams': 'I Never Respond To Them' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-zealand-immigration-minister-slammed-for-comparing-indian-emails-to-spams-i-never-respond-to-4164093.html?ref=DMDesc 6.8-Magnitude Earthquake Jolts New Zealand’s Riverton Coast, No Tsunami Alert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/6-8-magnitude-earthquake-jolts-new-zealand-s-riverton-coast-no-tsunami-alert-4104235.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.125~
