At a fair organised at the recently concluded naval multinational exercise, MILAN, in Visakhapatnam, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh bought a pendant for his wife from one of the stalls put up by Naval Wives Welfare Association.
The stall displayed a range of artificial jewellery, clothes, shawls and home décor items for thousands of people, including foreign dignitaries, visiting the fair. Out of the many things, a particular neck piece caught the attention of the Defence Minister. Singh digitally paid for the purchase.
For The Parents
Referring to the makers of the Constitution as “founding fathers” is common despite the fact that 15 women were part of the Constituent Assembly. In its seven-judge constitution bench judgment on the limits of parliamentary privilege, the Supreme Court marked a shift. The judgment authored by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud referred to the makers as the “founding parents” in the ruling.
Yet To Decide
While the Congress is still in talks with its allies over seat sharing in some states, including Maharashtra, Bihar, and Jharkhand, the party’s central election committee (CEC) will meet for the first time on March 7 to clear the first list of candidates for the Lok Sabha elections. The BJP announced its first list of 195 candidates Sunday.
Some of the allies of the Congress such as the Samajwadi Party and the AAP, too, have come out with their first list of candidates. Sources said the Congress CEC is expected to discuss names of candidates for seats where it is going solo and the first list will be out soon.
