Tweet from the reporters' collective @reporters_coA bizarre one from the #ParliamentDefied series: The Home Ministry says it can't find any record of Parliament ratifying the merger of the kingdom of Manipur with India. In 1949, the kingdom of Manipur signed a Merger Agreement to join the Indian Union. In Manipur, this agreement has since been pummelled with claims that it was signed under coercion, fuelling emotive debates in the border state.
In Parliament, the Union Home Minister was asked whether such a Merger Agreement exists, if so, whether the agreement was rejected by the Manipur state assembly and had Parliament ratified it.

Gaurav Bakshi Arrested For 'Blocking' Goa Minister's Car, Actor Refutes Allegations https://www.news18.com/india/gaurav-bakshi-arrested-for-blocking-goa-ministers-car-actor-refutes-allegations-8962325.html He was booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections related to “obstructing public servant” and “wilful restraint”, Bakshi, who has acted in a few films and several web series including “Bombay Begums” and “Naxalbari”, claimed in his counter-complaint that it was the minister’s car that had blocked his way.
Bakhi released a video on Thursday stating that Minister Halarnkar’s “entire statement is factually incorrect”. The actor also noted that he had filed a complaint against the minister at the local police station over the incident at the panchayat office.
“I would like to categorically state that nothing of the sort happened that is being claimed by Minister Halarnkar. The video that has been shared by me and my statements given last night make everything very clear. Minister Halarnkar’s entire statement is factually incorrect, mischievous and self-contradictory, as can be seen from his own several statements to the media compared to his previous statements and compared to the contents of the complaint filed,” Gaurav Bakshi said.
