Sayani ChakrabortyAugust 5, 20220

Vikas DeshwalAugust 5, 20220

Haryana Opposition Congress leader's different enemies gave contemporary 'Chintan Shivir' a miss, showing his total power over the state department. At the Haryana Congress's day-long "Chintan Shivir" in Panchkula on Monday, more than the politicians current, those who were evident by their lack captured the concentration of political watchers.

As Russian President Putin's military powers overspread the sovereign country of Ukraine, many nations will examine for methods to react strongly to directly treat Moscow as a pariah state on par with Bashar Assad's Syria and Kim Jong Un's North Korea.
