Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has issued a strong warning against politicising the Supreme Court as the INDIA bloc prepares to march over its concerns regarding alleged electoral irregularities. With opposition leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge seeking an appointment with the CJI to submit a memorandum, the planned protest has brought the judiciary’s political neutrality and the uninterrupted functioning of the apex court into focus.

A significant political development unfolded in New Delhi as a high-level INDIA Bloc meeting took place without representation from Tamil Nadu, one of India's most politically influential states. The absence has drawn attention because neither Chief Minister M.K. Stalin nor actor-politician Vijay participated in the gathering, leaving Tamil Nadu without a direct voice during crucial discussions on the opposition alliance's future strategy. According to reports, participation in the meeting was restricted to parties with representation in either the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha. This criterion effectively kept Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) out of the meeting, as the party currently lacks independent parliamentary representation. WATCH
