As an interim government takes over in Bangladesh, India emphasized the importance of the interests of Bangladeshi people, stating that the decision of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina regarding her travel plans rests with her. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar held talks with British counterpart David Lammy on the unfolding situation.
In a significant development, the CBI arrested an ED assistant director for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 20 lakh from a Mumbai-based bullion dealer. Meanwhile, opposition leaders in India strongly opposed the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, labeling it an attack on the Constitution.
On a positive note, the Indian men's hockey team secured a second successive Olympic bronze medal, defeating Spain 2-1 in Paris, marking a monumental achievement in the sport and giving veteran goalkeeper PR Sreejesh a fitting farewell.
