Protest by MP Manikam Tagore

New Delhi: After revoking their suspension on Tuesday, Congress lawmakers maintained that their “dignified” protest was to demand that Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and other opposition members be given the right to speak in Parliament.Congress MP Manikam Tagore said: “Parliamentary traditions and rules must apply equally to all and not selectively to opposition members. Lakshman Rekha must include upholding the dignity of opposition leaders.”He said that it was only after the LoP was not allowed to speak on the motion to thank the President that the opposition MPs protested, and then representatives of the 240 opposition MPs were “silenced”.Another suspended MP, Amarinder Raja Warring, said the suspension was too long. “We feel there is discrimination in the House. There is no equality. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has a chance if he wants to. Nishikant, Anurag Thakur, Ravneet Bittu have a free mandate but the LoP does not have a free mandate. The Speaker sometimes discriminates and he takes biased decisions and we feel bad,” he said.After being lifted from suspension on Tuesday afternoon, MPs Rabindranath Tagore, Waring, Shibhi Eden, Prashant Padore, Kiran Reddy, Gurjit Ojira, Deen Kuriakos paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi inside the Parliament complex.

Tulsi Gabbard breaks silence on Iran war after top aide Joe Kent resigns: 'Trump takes action based on...'

director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard She broke her silence on Tuesday after her top aide, National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, resigned over his disagreement with President Donald Trump’s war against Iran. Since Tulsi Gabbard is also known for her anti-war stance, there was widespread speculation that she would also bow out, as she has not made any statements about the U.S. war against Iran. But on Tuesday, Gabbard released her first statement, which made no mention of Joe Kent.

Read Tulsi Gabbard’s full statement on the Iran war

“Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people as our President and Commander-in-Chief. As our Commander-in-Chief, he has the responsibility to determine what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether to take the actions he deems necessary to protect the security of our military, the American people, and our nation.” “The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander-in-Chief with the best information available to guide his decision-making. “After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that Iran’s terrorist Islamic regime posed an imminent threat, and he acted based on that conclusion.”

Tulsi Gabbard’s statement refutes Joe Kent’s argument about ‘imminent threat’

Joe Kent said in a letter to President Trump that Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States and that “we are waging this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful U.S. lobby.” Gabbard said in a statement that it is President Trump’s responsibility to determine whether the threat is imminent. Regarding the issue of Israeli pressure that Kent raised, Gabbard said Trump made the decision to attack Iran after carefully reviewing all the information in front of him. Her department is responsible for providing the president with the best information available.

What does the surveillance video show?

On February 10, the FBI released doorbell camera video showing a man wearing a ski mask, jacket, pants, gloves and a holster on Nancy Guthrie’s porch the night she disappeared. It was later reported that the same masked man had been spotted at Guthrie’s home earlier.

The suspect is described by the FBI as a male, approximately 5 feet 9 or 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build and carrying a 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.

Authorities respond to image differences

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said last month they noticed differences in the suspect’s clothing in the images, including with and without a backpack.

At this time, we will not comment on the details or status of this analysis,” the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.

The President said providing 5 billion meals to advance education goals is a remarkable achievement for nonprofit organizations.As the implementing partner of Prime Minister’s POSHAN flagship program of the Government of India, Akshaya Patra has been providing fresh, nutritious meals to millions of children in government schools across India. Murmu added that the theme of the event, “From Well-nourished and Well-Educated India to Developed India”, highlighted the importance of a well-nourished and well-educated society in achieving the national resolve of building a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047.The president also provided food to a group of children in a symbolic gesture.

'Free flight to India': Homeland Security uses Taj Mahal to promote 'self-deportation', offers $2,600 incentives to undocumented immigrants

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has used images of India’s Taj Mahal to promote a “self-deportation” program and offer financial incentives to undocumented immigrants who agree to voluntarily leave the country.In a post shared on social media, the department appeared to be promoting free flights to India and offering cash benefits of up to $2,600 to those who choose to leave the United States on their own. The message featured the Taj Mahal, suggesting the plan was an easier and more beneficial alternative to forced evictions. It also features China and Colombia, two countries with large immigrant populations in the United States.Under the initiative, immigrants without legal status are encouraged to notify authorities of their intention to leave. In return, they may receive help with travel arrangements and financial compensation. Officials say the program is designed to reduce enforcement costs and ease pressure on the detention system while also allowing individuals to avoid legal penalties associated with formal deportation.However, the campaign caused a backlash, particularly over its use of cultural imagery. Social media suggested that using the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world, could trivialize a serious issue. Some also question whether the messages unfairly target specific communities, raise concerns about racism and xenophobia, or oversimplify the complex realities faced by undocumented immigrants.Immigration advocates say offers of money and free travel may appeal to those in difficult circumstances, but warn such programs could mask long-term consequences. Voluntarily leaving the United States under these programs may still affect a person’s ability to legally return in the future, depending on their immigration history.DHS also recommends that immigrants use the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) application to begin the process, allowing them to register their intent to voluntarily leave the country, submit details, and obtain information about travel assistance and financial incentives available under the program.

The 12,000-year-old mystery of Göbekli Tepe in Türkiye: Who built this temple, and where did its builder disappear? world news

The 12,000-year-old mystery of Göbekli Tepe in Türkiye: Who built this temple, and where did its builder disappear?

Long before there were any cities, any agriculture, or any pottery, people gathered on a hill in what is now southern Turkey and created something incredible. The huge stone pillars are decorated with animals and symbols, arranged in a huge circle. This is believed to be the oldest known temple in the world. Dating back nearly 12,000 years, it has archaeologists rethinking the origins of civilization. As quickly as it came, it was deliberately buried, and the people who built it seemed to disappear. However, new discoveries are constantly revealing new aspects of the mystery.

Gobekli Tepe:Temple built by hunter-gatherers in Türkiye around 9600 BC

German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt, who discovered it in the 1990s and has studied it extensively, told the BBC it is ancient, appearing around 9600 BC, predating Stonehenge or the pyramids. There are large circular buildings, huge T-shaped limestone columns rising into the air, some weighing several tons, decorated with images of animals, foxes, lions, birds, looking down at you. Even stranger is the fact that these were built by hunter-gatherers who had not yet domesticated plants or developed cities. In fact, they apparently survived by foraging in the wild but somehow managed to build this. What does Schmidt think? “This was a supernova, a moment that completely changed our view of early human history.”

Discoveries that rewrote human history

It has long been thought that agriculture came first, then settlement, then the building of monuments and temples. Göbekli Tepe turns the whole process on its head.There is evidence that this place existed long before farmers, possibly because shared beliefs and rituals brought people together. Some believe that the process of constructing such large structures may have been the very beginning of agriculture.As Schmidt said, Göbekli Tepe may have been a turning point in history, where religion and work together sparked the beginning of civilization. There is widespread speculation in academic circles that it may “be the spark that leads humans to agriculture.”What’s even more interesting is that there are no signs of a house or living space at this location. In an interview, Schmidt asked the question that’s still on everyone’s mind: “We didn’t find a home… where is everyone?”This suggests that people may have come from distant areas to gather for rituals or ceremonies and then dispersed again.

Why was Göbekli Tepe deliberately buried?

One of the most puzzling aspects of Göbekli Tepe is not how it was created, but why it was deliberately buried. Around 8000 BC, the entire site was deliberately buried under tons of earth and debris.This was not done because of any natural disaster. As a summary of the Göbekli Tepe study notes, the layer hiding the site was “placed here by humans themselves.”

Why would a civilization bury something so monumental?

There is no single answer, but several theories exist:

  • The site may have lost its religious significance
  • Cultural or social shifts may render it obsolete
  • New belief systems can replace old belief systems
  • it may be intentionally withheld or hidden

Schmidt himself acknowledged the uncertainty, saying the cause was unclear, although the act clearly marked “the end of a very strange culture.”

The disappearance of the builder

The big question that lingers in people’s minds is what happened to the people who built Göbekli Tepe. There are no signs of sudden disasters or wars and exodus. We do see a gradual decline, which is associated with larger changes in people’s lifestyles. Concurrently with the construction of Göbekli Tepe, there were the first signs of agriculture and settled communities. This shows that the people who built Göbekli Tepe did not disappear but evolved. They moved from ceremonial gatherings to settled communities and agriculture. Göbekli Tepe is therefore the last chapter of the hunter-gatherer way of life and the first page of a new chapter for humanity.

Why Göbekli Tepe is still important today

Göbekli Tepe is not only an ancient site; It is a gateway to a time in human history when the world was on the verge of a revolution.It challenges all old theories about the origins of civilization, showing that faith, cooperation and shared goals may be as important as the need for survival.Today, much of the site remains buried underground, with only a small portion excavated so far. This means there is still much to discover in the future.Ultimately, Göbekli Tepe tells us that the story of civilization’s development is far more complex and interesting than we previously thought.

Florida man faces death penalty for killing young mother who called 911 while tied up in car

STARK, Fla. – A Florida men’s program executed A young mother was raped and murdered on Tuesday while she was tied up in an attacker’s car and she frantically called 911 on his cell phone.

Florida man faces death penalty for killing young mother who called 911 while tied up in car

Michael Lee King, 54, will receive a three-drug injection at the Florida State Prison near Stark beginning at 6 p.m. He was convicted in January 2008 of first-degree murder, sexual assault and kidnapping in the death of 21-year-old Denise Amber Lee.

The woman was outside her North Port home with her two sons, a toddler and an infant, when King drove by and spotted her, then kidnapped her and left the children alone in the home, court records show.

Investigators say King took Lee to his home, where he bound and raped her. Later that day, King drove to his cousin’s house and borrowed a flashlight, shovel and gas can, according to prosecutors. While Lee was tied up in King’s car, she managed to get hold of King’s cellphone and called 911. In the recording of the phone call, she can be heard begging for her life so she could see her husband and children again.

Authorities say King eventually took Lee to a remote area in North Port, where he shot her in the face and buried her. A short time later, a state trooper pulled King over because his green 1994 Chevrolet Camaro matched the description from another 911 call. A woman stopped at a traffic light heard screams coming from her car and reported a possible child abduction to police.

Investigators later recovered Lee’s hair and belongings from King’s home and vehicle, authorities said.

Months after the killings, the Florida Legislature unanimously passed the Dennis Amber Lee Act to provide better training for 911 operators. The Denise Amber Lee Foundation, founded by the woman’s husband, Nathan Lee, continues to promote training and public awareness nationwide.

The foundation said that in addition to the 911 calls made by the victim, there were at least four 911 calls made the day she was abducted, including from her husband and others who saw parts of the crime but were unable to render help due to communications glitches and other issues.

Last week, the Florida Supreme Court rejected an appeal filed by King, whose attorneys argued that corrections officials mismanaged the state’s death penalty protocol and that he was denied due process by not being able to access certain records.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected King’s final appeal without comment.

King’s execution is the fourth planned in Florida in 2026, after A record 19 people were executed last year in the state. Republican Ron DeSantis carried out more executions in 2025 than any Florida governor since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.

There are total 47 people Executed in the United States in 2025. Florida topped the list, with Alabama, South Carolina and Texas tied for second, with five executions each.

Two more executions are planned in Florida this year. James Aren Duckett, a 68-year-old former police officer convicted of the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl, will die on March 31. Chadwick Scott Willacy, 58, is scheduled to be executed on April 21 for killing a neighbor who discovered he was burglarizing her home when she unexpectedly came home during her lunch break from get off work.

All executions in Florida are carried out with sedatives, paralytics and heart-stopping drugs, according to the Department of Corrections.
