The Opposition Congress intensified its criticism of the ruling BJP in the Madhya Pradesh State Assembly on Thursday, alleging a transportation scam involving hundreds of crores of rupees.
In protest, the Congress party staged a walkout, accusing the state government of obstructing the ongoing investigation into the allegations.

The topic resurfaced during a calling attention motion amid the Assembly’s ongoing budget session. Leader of the Opposition, Umang Singhar, claimed that the state government failed to clarify the ownership of 52 kg of gold and approximately Rs 11 crore in cash seized by the Income Tax Department from an abandoned Innova vehicle in Mendori village on the outskirts of Bhopal in December 2024.

Singhar also pointed out the government’s lack of transparency regarding a diary that the Congress asserts was confiscated during raids on Saurabh Sharma, a former constable in the MP Transport Department, who is believed to be central to the alleged scam. He contended that the diary holds critical evidence that could implicate numerous high-profile individuals involved in the scandal, explaining the government’s reluctance to disclose its contents.

The Congress called for the investigation to be transferred to the CBI and demanded that it be supervised by the Supreme Court to ensure impartiality. In response, State Legislative Affairs Minister Kailash Vijaywargiya defended the Assembly’s procedures, stating that they adhere to established protocols.

Singhar accused Vijaywargiya of showing disrespect towards the judiciary, while State Transport Minister Uday Pratap Singh asserted that the investigation is being carried out fairly without government interference and that the integrity of the ongoing inquiry remains intact.

Dissatisfied with the government’s response, Congress MLAs began chanting slogans before ultimately walking out of the House.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
