Morning coverage began with continued focus on the escalating Pakistan-Afghanistan conflict, with multiple outlets reporting Pakistan's declaration of 'open war' and airstrikes on Kabul and Kandahar. By mid-morning, editorial priority shifted decisively to domestic politics as a Delhi court discharged Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in the liquor policy case, with extensive reporting across languages on the court's sharp rebuke of CBI evidence as 'economically illiterate' and Kejriwal's emotional reaction. Throughout the afternoon and evening, coverage tracked the political aftermath as Kejriwal held defiant rallies challenging the BJP to Delhi elections, while the CBI appealed to the High Court and the NCERT issued an advisory to return banned textbooks.
