A major controversy erupted during the 42nd anniversary of Operation Blue Star as pro-Khalistan slogans were raised inside the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar. Supporters linked to Simranjit Singh Mann's faction were seen raising slogans, while portraits of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh were displayed during the observance. Activists from Dal Khalsa were also present carrying photographs linked to the 1984 events.

Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's visit to the Kalighat Kali Temple has gone viral across social media. The visuals, showing Mamata Banerjee waiting as devotees completed their prayers, have triggered widespread political discussion online. Many users contrasted the scenes with her years in power, while supporters argued that locals continue to affectionately call her "Didi." The viral moment comes at a time when the Trinamool Congress is facing one of the biggest crises in its history, with rebel MLAs challenging the party's leadership structure and raising questions about the future direction of the organisation.
