US Supreme Court clears Mumbai terror attack convict Tahawwur Rana’s extradition to India
Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, is linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and David Coleman Headley in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The attacks, carried out by 10 Pakistani terrorists, killed 166 people, including six Americans. Rana faced extradition to India, which the US Supreme Court cleared after his legal appeals failed. He is accused of aiding Headley in planning the attacks. Despite his lawyer’s final attempt to block extradition, Rana’s involvement in the tragic event remains significant.
U.S. arrests, deports hundreds of ‘illegal immigrants’, says Trump press chief.
During President Donald Trump’s second term, U.S. authorities arrested 538 migrants and deported hundreds in what was described as the “largest massive deportation operation in history.” This operation, fulfilling Trump’s campaign promises, targeted illegal immigration and border control. ICE conducted raids in Newark, detaining undocumented residents, including a U.S. military veteran, sparking condemnation from Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka and lawmakers. Trump’s administration also reinstated the “Remain in Mexico” policy, declared a national emergency at the southern border, and faced criticism over controversial anti-immigration rhetoric.
EC reaches doorstep; elderly, PwD voters cast ballot

Initiatives included home voting for senior citizens and PwDs, special registration drives, and accessible polling booths. Over 1.78 lakh downloads of the Saksham app assisted PwDs. Remote polling stations, partnerships with NGOs, and special provisions for Kashmiri migrants and IDPs in Manipur ensured broad participation, promoting voter awareness and inclusivity.
At 75, constitutional justice and personal liberty.
The reinstatement of Justice S. Fazl Ali’s dissent in Indian constitutional jurisprudence highlights key developments. In the 1950 A.K. Gopalan case, the majority upheld preventive detention, narrowly interpreting Article 21, while Justice Ali advocated for a broader interpretation of liberty. The 2017 Puttaswamy case recognized the right to privacy as a fundamental right and validated Ali’s dissent. This shift emphasizes personal liberty’s central role in justice and constitutional ethics. Dissent serves as a safeguard for constitutional values, ensuring accountability and the evolution of judicial interpretations.
