Today is the 26th of November and here are the headlines.


75 Years of the Indian Constitution
On Tuesday, President Droupadi Murmu and Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar marked 75 years of the Indian Constitution's adoption. President Murmu quoted Dr Rajendra Prasad, highlighting that the Constitution’s success depends on how it’s implemented. Vice-President Dhankhar reminded Parliamentarians of Dr B R Ambedkar's warning to prioritize the nation over party interests. Murmu praised the Constituent Assembly's efforts, noting how its deliberations shaped India’s unity. She acknowledged key figures like Dr Prasad, Ambedkar, and B N Rau, calling the Constitution the country’s 'holiest text.'

India’s Concern Over Arrest in Bangladesh
India expressed deep concern over the arrest of Hindu leader Krishna Das Prabhu in Bangladesh on Tuesday. Prabhu, a prominent member of ISKCON and the Bangladesh Sammilito Sanatan Jagaran Jote group, was detained at Dhaka airport, facing charges of sedition after leading a rally in Chattogram. He’s accused of disrespecting Bangladesh’s national flag. India urged the Bangladeshi government to ensure the safety of Hindus and all minorities in the country, calling for Prabhu’s immediate release.

Maharashtra Government Resignation
Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde resigned on Tuesday, marking the end of the 14th Assembly’s term. Shinde, along with deputy CMs Fadnavis and Pawar, met Governor C P Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhawan. As caretaker CM, Shinde will oversee the formation of a new government. The BJP-led Mahayuti coalition won a clear mandate in the Assembly elections, securing 230 out of 288 seats. Ajit Pawar was also elected leader of the NCP, setting the stage for key decisions in the coming days.

Violent Protests in Pakistan
In Pakistan, violent protests erupted on Tuesday after supporters of jailed former PM Imran Khan clashed with security forces. Six people were killed, including four paramilitary personnel, and over 100 injured. The protests, calling for Khan’s release, spiraled out of control, prompting the government to deploy the army in Islamabad. With 'shoot at sight' orders in place, the nationwide demonstrations, led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters, have challenged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s government, showing no signs of abating.

World Chess Championship: Game 2
In the World Chess Championship, Gukesh and Ding Liren faced off in Game 2 on Tuesday after Ding claimed victory in the first game. Gukesh, playing with black pieces, started strong in the first game but faltered in the middle, ultimately resigning after 42 moves. Ding now leads 1-0 in this best-of-14 series. In Game 2, Gukesh faces a 30-minute time disadvantage as Ding picks up the pace, leaving his chair for strategic consultations. The race to 7.5 points continues.
