Today promises a whirlwind of political activity, from international diplomacy to domestic political rallies. Let’s delve into the key events unfolding across the globe:
PM Modi Continues US Tour:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, currently in the US for the Quad meeting, has a packed schedule. He is set to address a large community gathering in Long Island and participate in another event at the BAPS Swami Narayan Temple. A meeting with Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli in New York is also on the agenda. Earlier in the day, PM Modi met with his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida, discussing ways to strengthen bilateral ties between Japan and India. Before departing for the US, PM Modi emphasized the Quad’s significance as a coalition of like-minded nations committed to peace, progress, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.
Kejriwal’s Public Court in Delhi:
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal will address a ‘Janta ki Adalat’ (public court) at Jantar Mantar in Delhi today. Following his release from Tihar Jail last week after receiving bail in the money laundering case related to the excise policy, Kejriwal is expected to speak about his ongoing battle with the BJP. AAP minister and Delhi state coordinator Gopal Rai has stated that Kejriwal’s fight against the BJP has become a direct confrontation. Rai emphasized that a landslide victory for Kejriwal as Chief Minister would enhance India’s reputation while diminishing the influence of his opponents.
Political Rallies in Jammu and Kashmir:
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will hold a political rally in the Nowshera constituency today, supporting J&K BJP president Ravinder Raina. This seat was previously held by Raina. The 2024 Assembly Elections in Jammu and Kashmir will see major contenders like the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party (JKPDP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) vying for power. In the 2014 Assembly Elections, BJP candidate Ravinder Raina won the Nowshera seat with a significant margin. Alongside Amit Shah, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is scheduled to address three rallies in Poonch, Surankote, and Jammu.

Spectators and players alike will be keeping a close eye on the weather as the match progresses.

World leaders are set to convene at the UN Summit of the Future in New York today. This summit aims to establish a global consensus on strategies for achieving a better present and safeguarding the future, as reported by Reuters.
