The World Punjabi Organisation hosted an unforgettable event in Delhi, celebrating the accomplishments of Punjabi icons in diverse fields such as cinema, fashion, social activism, and public administration.

This development comes after CM Mann left for his meeting with President Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in the national capital later in the day. He will raise the issue of recent merger of seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs into BJP, which included the likes of Raghav Chadha, Harbhajan Singh, Ashok Mittal, Sandeep Pathak, Rajinder Gupta, Vikram Sahney and Swati Maliwal.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju welcomed seven Rajya Sabha MPs who defected from AAP to BJP, praising their parliamentary conduct. The move significantly boosts BJP's strength in the Rajya Sabha, while AAP has petitioned for the disqualification of the defecting members.

Punjab's AAP government has withdrawn security for five Rajya Sabha MPs who joined the BJP, prompting the Centre to provide CRPF protection. This move follows AAP protests and graffiti targeting the MPs' residences and businesses. The security withdrawal coincides with the MPs' defection and public fallout with AAP leadership.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will meet President Murmu to seek the recall of seven AAP MPs, including six from Punjab, who have joined the BJP. This move follows Raghav Chadha's announcement that two-thirds of AAP's Rajya Sabha members are merging with the BJP, citing the party's deviation from its principles.

Kiren Rijiju refuted claims of coercion as seven Rajya Sabha MPs switched from AAP to BJP, stating "good people" have left Arvind Kejriwal. He accused Kejriwal of running AAP as a "private party." Rijiju also criticised the INDIA bloc, alleging internal rifts and a lack of principles, while backing West Bengal's electoral roll revision ahead of polls.

Delhi LoP Atishi has declared the Rajya Sabha Secretariat's acceptance of seven AAP MPs merging with the BJP as "unlawful and unconstitutional." She argued that the Constitution and anti-defection laws do not permit such mergers, warning PM Modi of historical consequences for increased "atrocities."

West Bengal may have convinced the BJP that even difficult states can be conquered. But crossing from two seats to the halfway mark in a Sikh-majority state is another proposition altogether

Aam Aadmi Party faces a significant blow as Rajya Sabha Deputy Leader Ashok Kumar Mittal and several other MPs, including Raghav Chadha, defect to the Bharatiya Janata Party. Citing ideological drift, the MPs announced their departure, marking a major organizational setback for AAP amidst ongoing internal turmoil. Mittal's recent elevation makes his move particularly striking.

Veteran activist Anna Hazare criticized AAP leadership following the departure of Raghav Chadha and six other Rajya Sabha MPs, suggesting their exit stemmed from the party deviating from its original principles. Chadha announced the group's decision to merge with the BJP, citing constitutional provisions and claiming a significant portion of AAP's Rajya Sabha members had left.

Seven Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MPs have officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, bolstering the NDA's numbers in the Upper House. This move, facilitated by the anti-defection law's provision for two-thirds party mergers, sees the BJP's strength increase significantly. The party anticipates further gains by year-end, nearing a crucial two-thirds majority.

Aam Aadmi Party faces a significant setback as Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha and six other MPs announced their decision to merge with the Bharatiya Janata Party. Chadha cited the AAP's deviation from its core ideology and working for personal benefits as reasons for the move. This comes days after Chadha's removal as Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha.

Legal experts explained why the anti-defection law wasn’t applicable to the MPs and party leaders said they’re very surprised by one MP’s desertion

Aam Aadmi Party faces a significant internal crisis as Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha leads a mass exodus of seven MPs to the Bharatiya Janata Party. This move, following Chadha's removal as deputy leader, marks a severe blow to AAP's presence in Parliament and raises questions about its core principles.

Raghav Chadha's defection from AAP to BJP, along with six other Rajya Sabha members, significantly weakens the party's parliamentary strength and national positioning. This move, which qualifies as a merger under anti-defection rules, erodes AAP's credibility and its ability to represent Punjab's interests nationally, potentially impacting upcoming elections.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney on Saturday presented his report card on completion of one year of his term as a member of the Upper House, listing his role in curbing illegal human trafficking, initiative of ‘Sikhiya Langar movement’ and efforts to help people in distress during the floods.

Bollywood debutant director Vikramjit Singh has said that the making of his film ‘Roy’, is a fulfillment of a long cherished dream.
