Morning coverage focused on internal friction within the Congress party following veteran leader Digvijaya Singh’s praise for the RSS, which editors juxtaposed with party chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s insistence on ideological "spine." This domestic political tension evolved throughout the afternoon as Rahul Gandhi publicly reprimanded Singh, forcing a rhetorical U-turn from the veteran leader. Simultaneously, the diplomatic crisis with Bangladesh deepened. Early headlines featured Bangladeshi police claims that suspects in the Osman Hadi murder had fled into Meghalaya. By midday, this story shifted to a direct confrontation of narratives as the BSF and Meghalaya Police issued formal rejections of the claims. Editors also prioritized the Yunus government’s dismissal of Indian concerns regarding minority safety as "exaggerated" criminal matters. Evening reports were dominated by Donald Trump’s proactive global diplomacy, specifically his pre-summit call to Vladimir Putin and his announcement of a Southeast Asian ceasefire, while the Indian Supreme Court prepared to hear a high-stakes challenge to the suspension of Kuldeep Sengar’s sentence.
