- ‘Ramzan Saved My Life’: Pak Journo Gul Bukhari On Her Kidnapping
Ever since my brief abduction on 5 June 2018, I have been dogged by questions like, ‘why were you abducted’, ‘why were you released’ and ‘why were you let go so quickly’.
To be honest, only my abductors would have the definitive answers to these questions. But while everyone seems to know who my abductors were, they don’t shoot these questions at them. But they keep asking me, as if I ought to know all the answers. I find it all quite funny, and also quite sad – that no one dares question the criminals.

- Why I’m Rooting for ‘Handsome’ Raghav & ‘Smart’ Atishi: Gul Panag
As I hit the campaign trail to support Raghav Chadha and Atishi of the Aam Aadmi Party, I can’t help but wonder, how in this day and age, candidates are still seeking votes for providing basics. I would also like to use this opportunity to exact revenge for the objectification I faced during my own campaign, by objectifying Raghav (albeit in jest!) – when I spoke of him being honest, upright, hardworking – and handsome!

- SC Verdict on Rahul Gandhi & Tej Bahadur & More Election Updates From 9 May 2019
- The Supreme Court dismissed a petition that sought to debar Congress President Rahul Gandhi from the elections over allegations that he holds dual citizenship. CJI Gogoi stated that "there was no merit to these claims. "
- While Rahul got a clean chit, former BSF jawan and Samajwadi Party candidate Tej Bahadur Yadav’s petition to contest elections was dismissed by the Supreme Court. If you remember, the poll panel had rejected Yadav’s nomination from Varanasi due to discrepancies in the information he gave out while filing his nomination.
- An FIR was filed against BJP’s Jammu and Kashmir unit chief Ravinder Raina and another party leader for allegedly bribing and violating the Model Code of Conduct. Members of the Leh Press Club had earlier accused BJP of bribing their members with money inside envelopes.
- In a high-strung press conference, AAP’s East Delhi candidate, Atishi, broke down as her party accused BJP rival Gautam Gambhir of circulating a derogatory pamphlets about her.
- And in your last update for the day, the District Collector of Bhopal ordered an inquiry to investigate if permission was granted for the three-day camp held by Namdas Tyagi, who likes to call himself Computer Baba. The probe will also investigate the role of Congress leader Digvijaya Singh who had performed a havan with the baba to ensure his win in elections.

- Why A 7-0 BJP Sweep in Delhi Isn’t A Forgone Conclusion
The seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi will vote in the sixth phase of polling on 12 May. Most pre-poll surveys predicted that if the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress fail to form an alliance, the state could witness a repeat of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections in which the BJP won all seven seats with huge margins. While that may very well be the end result, a 7-0 sweep isn’t as much of a foregone conclusion as it was five years ago. Here’s why.
