Kosovo in political stalemate as parliament fails to elect speaker

Kosovo's parliament failed to elect a new speaker for the fourth time on Friday, prolonging a legislative crisis that has prevented efforts to form a new government more than two months after an inconclusive election. Under Kosovo's constitution, a parliamentary speaker must be voted in before the election winner can form a government, but without cross-party support that is proving difficult, and the stalemate has exposed deep divisions in Europe's newest state. In the February 9 parliamentary election, following an acrimonious campaign in which outgoing Prime Minister Albin Kurti called the opposition "animals" and "thieves", his Vetevendosje party came first but did not secure an outright majority.

Post Pahalgam attack, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey says scrap freedom to manage religious affairs clause

In a post on X, Dubey targeted 'secular leaders' & called for an end to Articles 26 to 29 of the Constitution. This follows a recent row over his remarks against the SC.
Following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has called for the revocation of Article 26 of the Indian Constitution, which grants religious denominations the right to manage their own affairs in matters of religion. Dubey argued that this freedom has been misused by certain groups, pointing to the Pahalgam incident where a tourist couple was attacked by terrorists reportedly linked to a religious group. He emphasized that such misuse threatens national security and suggested that the government should reconsider the clause to prevent its exploitation. Dubey's statement has sparked a debate on the balance between religious freedom and national security.
