The day saw increased US scrutiny on India's global role, with a Trump advisor criticizing Indian oil purchases as a 'Kremlin laundromat'. China, however, publicly backed India against US tariffs. A significant new international development involved the US initiating a review of over 55 million global visas, directly affecting 5 million Indians, which followed an FBI raid on a former Trump advisor critical of US tariffs on India. Domestically, the Supreme Court continued to address major legal matters. It refined its directives on stray dog management, allowing the release of sterilized, non-aggressive canines while stipulating penalties for obstruction. Concurrently, the court criticized political parties for their inaction regarding Bihar's electoral roll revision, directing them to assist citizens in filing claims and accepting Aadhaar for applications. Politically, Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah reiterated their support for the controversial bill mandating the removal of jailed leaders, campaigning on an anti-corruption platform in Bihar and Bengal.
