Senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, Anurag Dhanda, has criticized the Central Government over remarks comparing the current global situation with the unity shown by Indians during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reacting to a statement about the ongoing West Asia conflict, Dhanda questioned whether the situation was being projected as serious as the pandemic period. In a social media post, he said the remarks have created confusion among the public and may unnecessarily fuel speculation about a possible crisis.

प्रधानमंत्री खुद अफ़वाहों का बाज़ार गर्म कर रहे हैं और फिर आरोप विपक्ष पर लगाते हैं। https://t.co/i2AeXrRJQD
Dhanda alleged that such statements contribute to spreading uncertainty and then the opposition is blamed for circulating rumors. He remarked that the government should communicate clearly with citizens rather than allowing speculation to grow around sensitive international developments.
Referring to the comparison made with the COVID-19 period
Referring to the comparison made with the COVID-19 period, the AAP leader said invoking such a serious national experience could cause anxiety among people if not explained properly. He added that the public deserves transparency and clarity regarding the implications of global developments for India.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions in West Asia, which have triggered international concern and discussions about potential geopolitical and economic impacts. Political leaders across parties have been reacting to the situation and its possible consequences for the country.
Dhanda further said that responsible communication from authorities is essential during times of global uncertainty so that misinformation does not spread and public confidence remains intact.
The Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab has reiterated that industrial development remains a key priority under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The statement comes in the backdrop of the upcoming Punjab Investors’ Summit, where the state aims to showcase its growing investment potential and industrial capabilities.
Bhagwant Mann Government Highlights Industrial Growth in Punjab
According to the party, the state has witnessed investment commitments exceeding ₹1.55 lakh crore over the past four years, which are expected to significantly strengthen Punjab’s industrial sector and economic growth.

The administration has emphasized that priority will be given to local youth while filling these positions so that the benefits of development directly reach the people of the state.
The government also highlighted its efforts to build a business-friendly environment, including policy reforms, simplified approval processes and improved infrastructure to attract investors from across India and abroad. Authorities believe that these initiatives are helping Punjab emerge as a preferred destination for industrial investment.
With the Punjab Investors’ Summit approaching, the state government hopes to attract further investment proposals, strengthen partnerships with industry leaders and accelerate economic development.

Rapper Badshah has landed in fresh trouble after the controversy around his Haryanvi track Tateeree reached the Uttar Pradesh government. The issue has now taken a serious turn after a formal request was sent to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asking authorities not to allow any shows or public events featuring the singer in the state.
CM Yogi Adityanath To Ban Badshah In UP After Tateeree Controversy?
The request was made by Aparna Yadav, Vice-Chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh State Women Commission. In her letter, she urged CM Yogi Adityanath to instruct district magistrates across the state not to grant permission for any programmes involving Badshah. The demand comes amid strong objections to the lyrics and visuals of the song, which have been criticised by several groups.
According to the letter, the track allegedly contains objectionable references to women and minors. It also claims that the visuals in the album Tateeree portray women in an indecent and inappropriate way. The complaint further states that certain scenes in the video show schoolgirls in uniforms in a manner that is not suitable.
The letter also mentions that a school, which is considered a sacred place of learning, is referred to using derogatory language in the video. Aparna Yadav argued that such portrayals could harm social values and send a wrong message to young viewers.
Citing Indian cultural traditions that give women the status of “Narayani,” she said that allowing performances by artists who present such content could hurt public sentiment. In her appeal, she again requested that all district authorities in Uttar Pradesh be directed not to approve any event featuring the singer.
All About Tateeree Controversy
The controversy around Tateeree started soon after the song was released on March 7. Soon after its release, the Haryana State Commission for Women issued a notice to Badshah following multiple complaints about the song’s lyrics and video.
The main objection was about the music video, which showed dancers wearing school uniforms performing in a setting named “Badshala”, which sounded similar to the word pathshala (school). Several activists and community leaders criticised the video, saying it objectified women and minors and sent the wrong message to young audiences.
The issue became bigger after an FIR was registered against Badshah at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Panchkula. The case was filed under sections related to outraging public decency and the Indecent Representation of Women Act.
Renu Bhatia, chairperson of the Haryana State Commission for Women, led the action against the song. Haryana Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda also criticised the track, saying it showed Haryanvi culture in a negative way.
After facing strong criticism, Badshah reacted to the controversy and clarified his intention. He said he did not want to insult women or children and explained that he belongs to the hip-hop genre, where lyrics are often written in a competitive style.
He also said that he respects his culture and never meant to hurt anyone’s sentiments. Following the backlash, the singer confirmed that the controversial song had been taken down.
However, the latest letter sent to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister shows that the matter is far from over. If the request is accepted, Badshah may face restrictions on performing in one of the country’s biggest states

He stated that if any distributor, agency or private individual is found involved in illegal activities such as hoarding or selling fuel and LPG cylinders in the black market, a First Information Report (FIR) will be registered and the strictest legal action will follow.
The state administration has been directed to keep a close watch on fuel distribution networks and maintain coordination with oil marketing companies and local distributors. Officials have been asked to ensure that supplies reach consumers without delay and that no artificial shortage is created in the market.
Authorities are also monitoring storage facilities and supply chains across districts to prevent any disruption. District administrations have been instructed to act swiftly if any complaints regarding hoarding, overpricing or irregular supply are reported.

The initiative is designed to provide regular financial assistance to small and marginal farmers across the country.
The Uttar Pradesh government noted that since the launch of the scheme, approximately ₹94,669 crore has already been transferred to farmers in the state under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi program. This large-scale financial support has benefited millions of farming families and strengthened rural livelihoods.
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state government has been actively working to ensure that eligible farmers are registered under the scheme and receive the benefits without delays. Administrative departments have also been directed to resolve technical or documentation issues faced by farmers during the registration or verification process.

Authorities believe that the continued implementation of such programs will contribute to strengthening the rural economy and improving the overall welfare of farmers in the state.
Officials have urged farmers to keep their bank account details and Aadhaar information updated to ensure smooth transfer of funds when the installment is released.

Director Aditya Dhar is currently busy finishing his upcoming film Dhurandhar 2, but his recent birthday post on social media has created unexpected buzz online. The filmmaker shared an emotional note thanking fans for their love, but the post quickly turned into a debate in the comment section.
Dhurandhar 2 is one of the most awaited films of the year. The first film, released in December last year, was a huge box-office success and became the highest-grossing release of 2025. On March 12, Aditya Dhar celebrated his 43rd birthday and posted a long message on X, expressing gratitude to fans and reacting to viral memes about his work.
In his post, Aditya wrote, “As I spend my birthday adding the final touches on Dhurandhar The Revenge, I find myself pausing for a moment and looking back at the phenomenal year that has gone by. Sitting here today I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. For the journey. For the team who has always walked besides me. And for the faith so many of you have shown in my work over the years.”

Keep making movies..🍿🎬
But try a subject different from India – Pakistan, next time
How Netizens Reacted To Emotional Post By Dhurandhar 2 Director Aditya Dhar
Soon after the post went viral, social media users started reacting with mixed opinions. While some fans praised the director, others criticised his films and even questioned the timing of the upcoming release.
One user wrote, “These propaganda movies are appreciated by bhakts only, other people consider these movies as trash.”
Another commented, “Stop spreading propaganda through your movies against minorities.”
Some users also spoke about the release timing. One comment read, “Buddy wrong timing considering IPL is just about to begin. It might impact your collections going into the 2nd week.”
Another user asked, “Sorry, but there are several loopholes in the movie, but all the best :). Quick question, did you clash with toxic on purpose?”
There were also suggestions that the director should choose different subjects in future. One user wrote, “Keep making movies.. But try a subject different from India – Pakistan, next time.”
About The Film
The original Dhurandhar, released in December 2025, became one of the biggest hits in recent years. The film reportedly earned more than ₹1,300 crore worldwide and became the highest-grossing single-language Hindi film. Directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh as Indian spy Hamza, the film also made huge profits for the makers.
The sequel, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, is scheduled to release on March 19, 2026, with paid previews planned a day earlier. Reports say the film has already recovered a big part of its budget through non-theatrical deals worth more than ₹250 crore.
PM Modi: As tensions escalate in West Asia involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, concerns over global oil and gas supply disruptions are growing. India, one of the world’s largest energy importers, is closely monitoring the situation to prevent any major impact on its economy and domestic fuel supply.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has not issued frequent public statements about every development in the conflict, officials say.
Quiet Diplomacy Through Global Partnerships
India has been working closely with foreign nations in order to maintain secure energy sources. They have developed a number of diplomatic relationships across the Gulf, Europe and other areas. Leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron have discussed ways to keep oil and natural gas flowing continuously and how best to maintain current levels of energy prices. Additionally, India has been communicating with countries like the US, Iran, Israel, Russia and the main Gulf producers.
As one of the world’s largest importers of energy, India has significant market power. Its representatives are using this leverage to create flexible supply agreements, establish alternative transportation routes and look at future sources.
Had a conversation with Iranian President, Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, to discuss the serious situation in the region.
Expressed deep concern over the escalation of tensions and the loss of civilian lives as well as damage to civilian infrastructure.
Along with diplomatic measures, Prime Minister Modi held meetings with important ministers (S. Jaishankar, Hardeep Singh Puri, Nirmala Sitharaman, Piyush Goyal) and discussed plans to be ready for any emergency situation that may arise due to escalating conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, which would affect global shipments of crude oil. The ministers will collaborate so that there are no serious shortages or price surges on petroleum products. They also mentioned that certain sectors were given priority when it came to receiving fuel.
Managing Future Risks
Recent supply disruptions have already triggered localised LPG shortages and anxiety Officials are also reviewing contingency plans to ensure that energy supplies remain stable even if the geopolitical situation worsens.
Strait of Hormuz Crisis: The Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping lane for oil movement worldwide, is once again in the news for all the wrong reasons. The latest round of tensions in the region has disrupted oil movement through the Strait, which has sparked immediate concern for the oil market. With nearly a fifth of the world’s oil passing through this narrow waterway, any tensions in the region send shockwaves throughout the world economy.
Energy Markets in Turmoil
The oil price has risen sharply in response to the tensions in the region. This has highlighted the fears that the tensions could last for a longer period. The stock markets in oil-importing countries are also feeling the pressure from the tensions in the Strait. The investors are also watching the response from major oil-producing countries.
Nations Scramble for Russian Crude
In the face of uncertainty, nations are increasingly relying on alternative sources to ensure that their energy requirements are met. The Russian crude has proved to be an important alternative source of energy for these nations. This has been done to ensure that the requirements are met even in the face of uncertainty. This has changed the power balance in the global oil industry, with Western nations no longer dominating the market.
Power Shifting From the West
The crisis is a harbinger of a new geopolitical scenario. The recent trend of nations relying on Russian energy has put the power of the West to the test. This is a significant development that will impact the global scenario in the long term.
The US Israel Iran War has triggered a surge in global tensions, affecting economies, energy markets, and civilian populations. Strikes across the Middle East and disruptions to key oil routes like the Strait of Hormuz highlight the high stakes.
Understanding the US‑Israel‑Iran War
The conflict escalated when US and Israeli forces launched strikes on strategic sites in Iran, including military and nuclear facilities. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, US bases, and allied nations in the Gulf. This rapid escalation has alarmed the international community and raised fears of a broader regional war.
Humanitarian Impact
The human cost has been severe. Reports indicate thousands of casualties and widespread damage to hospitals and infrastructure. Civilians in affected areas face immense challenges, including displacement, shortages of essential services, and constant threats to safety.
Global Economic and Energy Implications
The war has disrupted the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil supply. Oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel due to limited supply and increased shipping risks. The conflict has also caused instability in global markets, affecting trade, logistics, and manufacturing.
Regional Escalation
The war is not confined to Iran and Israel. Iranian-backed militias and regional actors have carried out strikes across the Gulf, showing how quickly the conflict could expand. These actions threaten regional stability and raise concerns about wider military involvement.
Risk of Nuclear Escalation
Although the use of nuclear weapons remains unlikely, the war has heightened global fears. Analysts warn that sustained conflict and miscalculations could lead to dangerous escalation involving nuclear powers. Diplomatic efforts remain crucial to prevent such an outcome.
International Response
US Israel Iran War: Global leaders are calling for calm and urgent diplomatic engagement. Nations are urging ceasefire talks, emphasising humanitarian concerns and the need to avoid further escalation that could destabilise the entire region.
Newlywed Rashmika Mandanna is once again in the spotlight after an old interview clip involving her mother resurfaced online. The viral audio, which talks about her past relationship with Rakshit Shetty, has triggered a fresh debate on social media. While the actor has issued a strong statement warning of legal action, netizens have questioned why she stayed silent for years after the breakup.
The clip is believed to be from an interview given by Rashmika’s mother Suman Mandanna to senior film journalist Mahesh Devishetty, as reported by OneIndia. In the conversation, Suman spoke about tensions between the two families during the time when Rashmika and Rakshit were engaged.
According to her, the family had accepted the relationship even though Rashmika was very young at the time. However, she claimed that disagreements started during the engagement period and slowly turned into serious arguments between both families.
Rashmika Mandanna controversy grows after old interview clip goes viral
In the viral audio, Suman Mandanna alleged that Rakshit sometimes created scenes over small matters and tried to influence Rashmika’s career decisions. She also claimed that when Rashmika got the offer for Geetha Govindam, there was pressure on her to post on social media that she would quit acting.
She also described an incident that she called very disturbing. According to her, the night before the release of Geetha Govindam, Rashmika allegedly received a late-night call asking her to travel immediately from Hyderabad to Bengaluru to meet Rakshit.
Part of the interview includes Suman speaking emotionally in Kannada. As per OneIndia, she said, “They said this girl is not thinking properly. Even after knowing the situation, you still sent her there. Then they came and created a scene with me. At that time, instead of saying ‘Aunty, don’t worry, I am with you,’ he argued with me. His final condition was that Rashmika should tweet saying she would leave acting after marriage.”
She further added, “What mistake did my young daughter make? The elders started calling. His mother said my daughter’s mother must come and apologise. Why should I apologise without any reason? I have helped many people in my life…good that they broke up.”
After the clip went viral, many social media users started reacting strongly. Some questioned why Rashmika never spoke openly about the breakup earlier.
One Reddit user wrote, “He is mentally unstable, but Rashmika failed to convey this to the world when relationship broke.”
Another commented, “Fact she should have opened her mouth years ago her silence made things even worse and the another one got all the sympathy.”
A third user defended her and said, “A girl opening her mouth comes with consequences. Not everyone wants to face them.”
One more user wrote, “Aishwarya spoke against Salman, but what happened? She got replaced and even today memes are made about her and Salman and they don’t even spare her daughter.”
Another fan added, “I am happy that in a life full of Anacondas, she got Vijay Deverakonda.”
Rashmika Mandanna Issues Legal Warning, Asks People To Stop Sharing Clip
After the audio started circulating widely, Rashmika Mandanna released a long statement on X (formerly Twitter). She said the clip was being shared without consent and taken out of context to create controversy.
The statement read, “To my dearest people who have been with me through this incredible journey so far. And to others concerned with this matter – It has been 8 years since a sustained campaign of misinformation, harassment, and targeted attacks from a section of the media and individuals online had started against me. I have watched as my words have been taken out of context, as words I never uttered were spun into false narratives, and hate has been amplified for the sake of views, reach, and engagement.”
She added, “All this while, while it pained me and hurt me, I chose patience and silence. I accepted that being in the public eye sometimes comes with unfair criticism, but as long as I remain true to myself and happy, spreading joy around me, things will fall into place. However, what has happened in the last 24 hours crosses a line that can’t be ignored.”
Rashmika also claimed the audio was from a private conversation recorded years ago and was now being shared deliberately. She said, “An old private conversation, believed to be from nearly eight years ago, appears to have been recorded and circulated without the knowledge or consent of those involved. A small portion of that conversation has now been deliberately taken out of context and circulated widely to create yet another discomforting controversy- strategically coinciding with recent developments in my personal life,” she said.
The actor warned of legal action and wrote, “I request all media platforms, influencers and individuals who are circulating this content or related narratives to remove them immediately. You have 24 hours from the time of this statement to do so. Failing this, starting tomorrow, appropriate legal action will be initiated – including the issuance of legal notices to individuals, influencers, digital platforms, or media organisations involved in the continued circulation of defamatory or privacy-violating content, in accordance with applicable law. This step is not taken lightly, but it has become necessary.”
She also urged people to respect privacy and stop spreading the clip, saying she chose silence for years but will not allow others to be dragged into controversy now.
KC 135 Crash: On March 12, 2026, during Operation Epic Fury, a military campaign aimed at Iranian military infrastructure, a KC-135 Stratotanker, one of the US Air Force’s most important aerial refuelling planes, crashed in western Iraq.
The US Central Command says that two planes were involved in the incident and were flying in friendly airspace. One plane landed safely, but the second KC-135 crashed during the mission.
There are conflicting reports about the crash
Pro-Iran groups said they shot down the plane with a missile shortly after the event. They said that all of the people on board died.
But US officials strongly denied these claims. Military sources say that the crash was not caused by an attack but by operational or technical problems. They also said that the plane was flying in friendly airspace.
The KC-135 Stratotanker is an important plane that refuels other planes in the air, which lets fighter jets and bombers stay in the air longer during combat. Even though it has been in use for a long time, accidents involving the platform are rare. The last big accident with a KC-135 happened in 2013.
Operation Epic Fury Makes Tensions in the Region Worse
The plane was said to be helping with missions as part of Operation Epic Fury, a joint US-Israeli effort to attack Iranian military bases, including those connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and missile infrastructure.
What did Donald Trump say?
President Donald Trump said in recent speeches that US military operations against Iran are still going on “at full force.” Trump has said in the past that Iran’s military capabilities have gotten a lot weaker, pointing to a big drop in drone attacks on US and allied targets. He also said again that the campaign will go on until the US reaches its goals in the area.
Actor Kritika Kamra and host-actor Gaurav Kapur are trending online after videos from their wedding reception went viral on social media. The couple hosted a stylish celebration on March 12, 2026, just a day after their intimate registered marriage at their Bandra residence.
Unlike typical celebrity weddings, the couple chose a modern and relaxed reception format. Their event titled “The Party After”, was held at a South Mumbai venue and followed a jazz-night theme with a speakeasy-style bar setup. The mood of the evening was kept classy and unhurried, matching the couple’s understated personality.
Fans quickly flooded social media with reactions after videos showed Kritika and Gaurav arriving together, smiling and holding each other as they walked inside the venue. Many users called them “couple goals”, while others even compared Gaurav with Kritika’s former boyfriend Karan Kundrra.
Kritika Kamra And Gaurav Kapoor Hold Each Other Close At Their Wedding Reception
For the reception, Kritika Kamra chose a fluid silver outfit that gave a modern and elegant look. Gaurav Kapur complemented her in a sharp double-breasted suit. Their coordinated styling received praise from fans, who loved their simple yet classy appearance.
Earlier, during their wedding ceremony, Kritika had worn a traditional red Chanderi saree, while Gaurav opted for an ivory-and-gold bandhgala. The contrast between the traditional wedding and the modern reception became a talking point online.
Videos from the reception showed the couple posing comfortably for photographers. In one viral clip, Gaurav was seen holding Kritika close as they entered the venue together. Fans reacted warmly to the moment, calling their chemistry natural and refreshing.
However, the online reaction did not stop at praise. Several users on Reddit began comparing Gaurav with Kritika’s past relationship with Karan Kundrra and even mentioned his current partner Tejasswi Prakash.
“What an upgrade from that douchebag Kundra. Gorgeous couple. Wish them a happy married life!”
“Waaaayyyy better. Gaurav is a super chill and nice guy.”
“Karan seems too toxic and irritating and unintelligent. Him and Tejaswi deserve each other.”
“I had a crush on this guy since he was a Channel V VJ. Kritika is so lucky.”
“Glad she left Karan Kundra.”
“They look so classy.”
“Kritika is what Tejaswi thinks she is.lol.”
“Seriously, such an upgrade. Gaurav is really smart and so classy! She’s got the best guy.”
About Their Wedding And Love Story
Kritika Kamra and Gaurav Kapur got married on March 11, 2026, in a simple registered ceremony at their Bandra home. Instead of a big destination wedding, the couple chose a private celebration with close family and a few friends from the film and cricket industry.
Their love story reportedly started on the sets of The Great Shamshuddin Family, where they first met while working together. What began as a friendship slowly turned into a relationship, but the two kept it private for a long time. They made their relationship public only in December 2025 with a playful Instagram post titled “Breakfast with,” a reference to Gaurav Kapur’s popular show Breakfast with Champions.
Kavya Maran: The 2026 Hundred auction brought excitement, surprises, and, in some cases, controversy. One of the most talked-about moves was made by Kavya Maran, whose Indian-owned franchise, Sunrisers Leeds, decided to sign Pakistani cricketer Abrar Ahmed. While the signing made sense from a cricketing perspective, it quickly sparked widespread criticism and a storm on social media.
The Signing That Sparked Debate
Abrar Ahmed, known for his excellent bowling skills, has been a rising star in international cricket. His inclusion in the Sunrisers Leeds was primarily a strategic move to strengthen the team’s bowling lineup. However, given the sensitive political relationship between India and Pakistan, many fans took to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the decision.
Social Media Reactions
From Twitter threads to Facebook posts, fans and critics questioned Kavya Maran’s decision, highlighting the emotional and political tensions that sometimes overshadow sports. Memes, debates, and heated discussions flooded online platforms, making this signing one of the most controversial topics of the auction.
A Look Beyond Politics
Despite the backlash, cricket experts point out that franchises often prioritize talent and team balance over politics. Abrar Ahmed’s performance could potentially be a game-changer for Sunrisers Leeds, emphasizing that sports decisions are primarily about winning matches and building competitive squads.
Managing Controversy in Modern Sports
This incident also highlights the challenges modern sports teams face in the digital age. Every auction decision, player transfer, or signing is immediately scrutinized online. Teams must carefully balance strategy with public perception, especially when political sensitivities are involved.
