Top News Headlines of January 24, 2026 | ‘Great and very brave soldiers of UK’: Donald Trump’s U-turn after comment on NATO troops in Afghanistan

News Today Live Updates: Get the latest news updates from India and all around the world. Stay updated with breaking news today.

Top News Headlines of January 24, 2026 | A high-level government meeting was held earlier this month to examine and debate possible protocols for the recitation of the national song Vande Mataram, similar to those in place for the national anthem Jana Gana Mana, The Indian Express has learned. The move comes even as the Centre has launched a year-long celebration of Vande Mataram. It forms part of the government’s effort to elevate the song’s standing, something the ruling BJP has accused the Congress of having diminished through appeasement politics and the removal of what it calls important stanzas during the Congress session in 1937.

Ahead of the state visit of the European Union leaders from January 25 to 27, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission Kaja Kallas said Friday that the India-EU Free Trade Agreement is a “strategic choice” and provides a chance to reduce reliance on China, Russia and US. In an interview to The Indian Express, Kallas said that the EU and India will sign a new Security and Defence Partnership on January 27 at the India-EU leaders’ summit.
