Amid reports of UAE brokering talks between India and Pakistan, Congress cautioned the Modi government against accepting foreign mediation. Senior leader Mallikarjun Kharge said, “It has been one of the successes of Indian diplomacy since the 1972 Simla agreement to ensure that we deal with Pakistan bilaterally, and to prevent foreign mediation. We hope that our government sees reason and returns to India’s tried and tested policies.” On China, Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “Chinese occupation of Gogra-Hot Springs & Depsang plains is a direct threat to India’s strategic interests including the DBO airstrip.

NAGPUR: Nationalist Congress Party spokesman and skill development minister Nawab Malik has sought a high-level inquiry into how a young nephew of state leader of opposition Devendra Fadnavis got his second vaccine dose. Under existing rule, people below 45 years of age are not eligible for the jab, unless they’re healthcare or frontline workers.
“Does he have comorbidities or is he a frontline healthcare worker? If he is not, then an offence should be registered against him,” said Malik.
Tanmay is the grandson of former MLA Shobha Fadnavis, who is the former state CM’s aunt. According to his friends, Tanmay is 23 and a resident of Shraddhanand Peth in city. He posted a photo on Instagram after taking the jab at the National Cancer Institute in Nagpur on Monday. After being trolled and questioned about his age on the social media, he deleted the photo.
