Rahul Gandhi avoids I-Day event

There is obviously no end to the controversy arising from the BJP and the Congress party leaders. They come in straight controversy from time to time. This is a straightforward fact even on this stormy day. This year's Independence Day event saw the absence of the two senior Congress leaders, viz., Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, from the historic Red Fort. This attracted sufficient attention amid previous dissent over the protocol and seating arrangements at such a magnificent annual I-Day event. Rahul Gandhi had undoubtedly been invited to this year's Independence Day ceremony. In this regard, the Defence Ministry stated that seating arrangements were completed in exact accordance with the Table of Precedence.  This point plainly specifies the protocol positions at official state functions.

US, Iran and Strait of Hormuz

We have total control over the Hormuz Strait right now - they don’t have control. We have complete control; we own it, and at some point, maybe they’ll do something, and then they’ll get blown away, but … right now we are in a very good position.”

The comments have since been met with doubt from X/Twitter users, with one dependable query: “Then why negotiate with Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz?”

If the Strait of Hormuz is now managed by the US, how did Trump negotiate with Iran to open the vital route of the Strait? This big question arises for all of us.
