News 18  

Ashok Gehlot Scores Expected Win in Rajasthan Vote of Confidence as Congress MLAs Unite The Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government scored an expected win today in a trust vote in the Rajasthan assembly, capping a crisis that lasted more than a month. The court said Bhushan’s tweets were “based on the distorted facts” as he made wild allegations against the present and last three CJIs which were “undoubtedly false, malicious and scandalous.” Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday confirmed he has tested negative for the coronavirus. A cartoon in Australia’s biggest national newspaper drew condemnation on Friday as being racist for portraying U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden describing his new running mate, Kamala Harris, as “this little brown girl”. Former attorney-general Mark Dreyfus tweeted, “If The Australian has any respect for decency and standards it must apologise immediately, and never again publish cartoons like this.” Jammu and Kashmir Police and CRPF have once again bagged the maximum number of police medals for gallantry, announced by the Ministry of Home Affairs on Friday.
