Sonia Gandhi Pays a Visit to Mallikarjun Kharge; Rare Gesture By Gandhi Family to a Party Leader

In the rarest move by the Nehru-Gandhi family, Sonia Gandhi personally paid a visit to the newly-elected Congress Chief, Mallikarjun Kharge. While Mr Kharge was planning to seek an appointment with interim chief Sonia Gandhi after his win at the Congress presidential polls, he did not get one. However, given the occasion, Sonia Gandhi decided to pay a visit to Mallikarjun Kharge, and she drove down with a bouquet. This is the rarest of the rare move shown by the Congress leadership as they hardly visit any party leader's home, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh being an exception in the case. With Sonia Gandhi paying a visit to Mallikarjun Kharge, it seems like the Gandhi family is finally ready to accept a new non-Gandhi boss taking over the Indian National Congress. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi had told the media that, like every Congress member, he would report to Kharge Ji. "The new president will decide my role in the party," said Rahul Gandhi while being asked several questions regarding the new Congress president. Since Independence, the Indian National Congress has primarily been led by a member from the Nehru-Gandhi family. With Mallikarjun Kharge being the new Congress chief, the party has its first non-Gandhi president in the 21st century. It is a big victory for Mallikarjun Kharge to lead the oldest political party in the country. Mallikarjun Kharge defeated Congress leader Shashi Tharoor to become the new party chief.

China: Anti-Xi Jinping Protests Intensifies As He Plans To Extend His Reign Suggests Report

The 20th National Congress meeting is underway in China; however, recent Anti-Xi Jinping protests show how the country's population is dissatisfied with Chinese President Xi Jinping and especially his government's stringent zero covid policy. As per a report by the Geneva Daily, just before the beginning of the National Congress meet, Chinese people protested against the authoritarian system of the country. China's Congress meet, which happens once-in-five-years has already started, and President Xi Jinping is expected to begin his 3rd term as leader of the Communist country. Meanwhile, Xi Jinping's zero-covid policy has received severe criticism and backlash from the Chinese people. As per the policy, thousands of people were forcefully separated from their family members after they tested positive for covid. There have been serious lapses in medical treatment and food supplies to covid-affected families. As per media reports, the Chinese government has also used internet censorship to silence academicians, bloggers, and activists who were actively posting about the covid situation in Wuhan back in April 2020. Last Friday, protestors openly bashed Xi Jinping and criticised his zero covid policy at the Sitong Bridge. However, when reporters were taking pictures of the incident, they were immediately ordered by officers to delete the photos and said that photographs are prohibited because of special circumstances. In fact, some WeChat users also said that their accounts were frozen after they shared images of the Bridge or sent text messages about the incident.  https://youtu.be/pwF_1mj7PFA
