'चुनाव आने पर तानाशाही को उड़ा देंगे', अखिलेश यादव ने कहा, आरक्षण के खिलाफ है बीजेपी

SUMMARY
समाजवादी पार्टी प्रमुख अखिलेश यादव ने भाजपा पर आरक्षण के मुद्दे को लेकर निशाना साधा। उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि भाजपा आरक्षण व्यवस्था के खिलाफ है और चुनाव आने पर जनता तानाशाही के खिलाफ जवाब देगी। यादव ने लोकतंत्र, सामाजिक न्याय और आरक्षण को लेकर अपनी पार्टी की प्रतिबद्धता दोहराई। उन्होंने कहा कि पिछड़े, दलित और वंचित वर्गों के अधिकारों की रक्षा जरूरी है। यह बयान ऐसे समय आया है जब देश में आरक्षण, सामाजिक न्याय और चुनावी राजनीति से जुड़े मुद्दे लगातार चर्चा में हैं। हालांकि, भाजपा की नीतियों और आरक्षण को लेकर यादव के आरोप राजनीतिक बयान हैं, जिन पर दोनों दलों के बीच मतभेद बने हुए हैं।

US campaign and new exits deepen International Criminal Court crisis

SUMMARY
The International Criminal Court (ICC) faces a deepening crisis as the US, under President Trump, has intensified its campaign against the court, imposing sanctions on ICC officials over investigations into alleged war crimes. This aggressive stance has emboldened other nations to challenge the court's authority. Several countries have signaled potential withdrawals, echoing earlier exits by African nations like Burundi. Critics argue US hostility undermines global justice, while supporters claim the ICC overreaches its mandate, targeting Western allies disproportionately.

What Thilafushi tells us about the Maldives-China relationship

SUMMARY
Thilafushi, an artificial island created from waste in the Maldives, has become a symbol of deepening Maldives-China ties. Under President Muizzu's pro-China pivot, Beijing secured a major infrastructure deal to develop Thilafushi into a commercial hub, including a bridge connecting it to Malé. Critics argue this increases Chinese debt dependency and strategic influence in the Indian Ocean, alarming India. The project reflects China's expanding footprint through Belt and Road investments in small island nations.

ESDS Software share price soars nearly 4X in 6 sessions post-listing: What’s driving the explosive rally | Buy or beware

SUMMARY
ESDS Software's share price surged nearly 4X within six sessions after its stock market listing, drawing significant investor attention.
