Rahul Gandhi Claims Bihar Elections ‘Not Fair from Beginning’ After Mahagathbandhan’s Heavy Defeat

Rahul Gandhi reacted to the Mahagathbandhan’s crushing defeat in the Bihar Assembly election, saying the polls “were not fair from the beginning.” He thanked voters who supported the alliance but called the results a serious setback that demands reflection.

In a post on X, he said the Opposition would keep fighting to protect the Constitution and democracy. He added that both Congress and the INDIA bloc would examine the factors that led to the poor performance and strengthen their efforts.

The NDA, led by the BJP and JDU, secured a historic victory with 202 seats, while the Mahagathbandhan managed only 35. Congress recorded one of its weakest results in Bihar since 2010.

Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera alleged that early trends indicated “Gyanesh Kumar working against the people of Bihar,” framing the contest as a clash between the people and the system. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the party accepts the mandate but will continue to oppose any misuse of constitutional institutions.

He thanked supporters and urged party workers not to lose hope, emphasising that the fight to protect democracy will continue.

Missing Sikh Pilgrim Converts to Islam, Marries in Pakistan: Sarabjit Kaur Now ‘Noor Hussain’

A major twist has emerged in the disappearance of Sarabjit Kaur, the Sikh woman who went missing from a jatha visiting Pakistan. New information indicates that she has converted to Islam and adopted the name Noor Hussain. A purported nikah certificate from a mosque in Sheikhupura has surfaced, suggesting she married a local man with her reported consent.

Investigative teams from both India and Pakistan have been reviewing her background and movements. Their goal is to understand how she separated from the 1,932-member jatha that travelled to Pakistan on November 4 for the Parkash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Immigration records confirm she crossed into Pakistan with the group via the Attari border. After ten days of visiting historic gurdwaras, the jatha returned to India. However, only 1,922 pilgrims came back. Sarabjit was missing when the final headcount was completed.

Authorities are now examining the circumstances that allowed her to remain in Pakistan and the process that led to her religious conversion and marriage.

Babar Azam’s Century Drought Ends After 807 Days in Rawalpindi Win

Rajesh — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 05:09:41 +0000

Babar Azam ended his long wait for an international century with a fluent unbeaten 102 in Rawalpindi. The former Pakistan captain reached the milestone after 83 international innings and 33 ODI innings. His knock guided Pakistan to a smooth chase of 289 against Sri Lanka, sealing an eight-wicket win with ten balls remaining.

He last scored a century during the 2023 Asia Cup against Nepal. The gap stretched to 807 days, adding to the scrutiny surrounding his form. His latest hundred is now his eighth on home soil, pushing him past Mohammad Yousuf. It also marked his 20th ODI century, drawing level with Saeed Anwar for the most by a Pakistani batter.

A striking coincidence added extra buzz. Virat Kohli also ended his own century drought after exactly 83 innings during the 2022 Asia Cup.
