Rahul Gandhi calls RSS-BJP ‘bunch of jokers’, scoffs at PM’s foreign policy ‘based on hugs’
New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday referred to the BJP-RSS as a “bunch of jokers” who have no understanding of India and scoffed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s handling of foreign policy which he claimed was all about hugging leaders. Addressing the Rachnatmak Congress National Convention here, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha also claimed that the RSS as an original force is dead and has now become an “instrument of large capital — Mr Adani and Mr Ambani”. Talking about the media toeing government’s line on various issues, he said he understands their
Turkey lays out plans for defence pact with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
ANKARA, Aug 13 (Reuters) – Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan will group senior ministers, hold joint exercises and deepen defence industry cooperation under a military pact signed between the regional powers last week, Turkey’s defence ministry said on Thursday. The three Sunni Muslim U.S. allies, alarmed by a regional conflagration that has brought Iranian missile fire onto Gulf oil exporters, signed the “Mecca Joint Defence Agreement” on August 7. They said the accord stipulates that an armed attack against any member would be regarded as an attack on all, similar to NATO’s Article 5 collective defence clause. Make sense of

Why would so many intelligent and powerful people repeatedly trumpet their lack of awareness, especially after Epstein’s 2008 plea agreement to underage prostitution charges? And what about all of Epstein’s staffers and business associates who kept quiet about the suspicious behavior they observed? As a human
Why Meta is paying for controversial content – and what that means for the posts you see
August 13, 2026 (Conversation) In recent days, media reports have revealed several instances where Facebook has paid for content that could be deemed controversial. ABC News Verify found Facebook had monetised Australian accounts described as having white nationalist, neo-Nazi or anti-vaccine links. According to the report, some of the content they posted even appeared to conflict with Meta’s own monetisation policies. Meta did not answer questions about the individual pages, and their earnings are not public. However, it did state if creators breach their policies their earnings will be disabled, and they may be removed entirely for repeated breaches. Payment
