She believes his record is not suitable for such a high post. This is rare as such objections are not common. The matter has caused debate in legal circles. The government will now review the recommendation before making a final decision.

The case is now being reviewed by higher authorities. Trump Claims He Stopped India-Pak War Threat Former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed he helped stop a possible war between India and Pakistan in May. Speaking at a meeting he said he warned India of high trade taxes (tariffs) to calm things down. He claimed that after a 5-hour talk both countries stepped back. India has denied Trump’s earlier claims of mediation. After the talk the U.S. added a 25% extra tariff on Indian goods which began today. India has not officially commented on Trump’s latest statement but past government responses called his claims “baseless.” India Condemns Journalists’ Killing in Gaza India has expressed sadness over the killing of journalists in Gaza’s Khan Younis area. The Ministry of External Affairs called it “shocking and deeply unfortunate.” Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said “India always stands against harm to civilians in conflict zones.” He added that Israel is expected to carry out a full investigation. The journalists were killed while covering the ongoing war. Many countries have raised similar concerns. India said it supports peace and the protection of media workers in all conflict areas. Trump Imposes 50% Tariff on India from Today From today the U.S. has put a 50% import tax (tariff) on goods from India. This decision is from former President Donald Trump’s earlier trade policy. It will affect Indian exports worth ₹5.4 lakh crore. Products like jewelry and clothes may see a 70% drop in demand in the U.S. Indian exporters are worried as America is one of their biggest markets. Many small businesses may suffer losses. Trade experts say this could hurt jobs and the Indian economy. Talks may be needed to reduce the tax and protect exports in the future.
