President Donald Trump has sparked a fresh wave of online reactions after appearing to briefly doze off during a 9/11 remembrance ceremony, with footage from the event quickly drawing comparisons to his past attacks on Joe Biden over the former president's age and alleged lack of energy. As America gathered to remember the victims of the September 11 attacks, Trump was seen appearing drowsy during the solemn ceremony, while Joe Biden stood alongside Jill Biden at Ground Zero as the country paid tribute to those killed in the attacks. The moment quickly revived Trump's well-known "Sleepy Joe" attacks on Biden, with critics now turning the phrase back on Trump and social media users asking, "Who's the sleepy guy now?" Trump's apparent moment of drowsiness triggered a heated online debate, with critics calling it disrespectful during a solemn memorial while supporters pushed back against the political backlash.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has broken his silence on the controversy surrounding abusive slogans raised during the student protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar over the alleged NEET paper leak. Addressing the issue, the Prime Minister said that "abuses never solve anything" and appealed for restraint and forgiveness instead of anger or retaliation. He said that while both he and his late mother were targeted with abusive language, he believes misguided youngsters should be guided rather than punished. The remarks come after a Zero FIR was registered against a young woman over allegedly objectionable remarks made during the protest. Amid the controversy, the woman has also publicly apologised.
