SP quits Nitish’s to contest Bihar polls alone:
Samajwadi Party quits the Nitish Kumar-led ‘grand alliance’ in Bihar ahead of the polls in November. Mulayam Singh Yadav-led SP says it feels insulted at not being consulted over seat sharing for the Bihar polls and will go it alone.
In recent political development, the former Union Minister and RJD VP Raghunath Jha quits party to join Samajwadi Party
Samajwadi Party has not been allotted any seat in the upcoming polls, and has complained of complete neglect. The Nationalist Congress Party, an ally, had also questioned the “meagre” three seats offered to it, while JD(U) and RJD got 100 each and Congress 40, and termed it “an insult” by alliance partners.
“SP played the biggest role in bringing Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad together, as well as, forging the secular grand alliance. But, in turn it has been completely ignored. We were not even consulted during seat distribution. We have started indefinite fast to protest this treatment meted out to us,” SP Bihar unit president Ram Chandra Yadav said.
US President Barack Obama on Wednesday earned sufficient congressional backing to ensure the Iran nuclear deal does not get blocked, when a 34th senator announced her support for the accord.
Most US lawmakers are opposed to the deal, which would ease punishing economic sanctions on Tehran while preventing it from advancing its nuclear program. Many Republicans warn that the Islamic republic will seek to cheat its way to an atomic bomb.
Should Congress pass a resolution that disapproves of the deal, Obama would veto it. Overcoming the veto would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate and House of Representatives.
With veteran Senate Democrat Barbara Mikulski announcing her support Wednesday, the deal now has 34 backers in the Senate — the number needed to uphold Obama´s veto.
While the deal is not perfect, Mikulski said, “I have concluded that this Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is the best option available to block Iran from having a nuclear bomb.”
She added that while she will vote for the deal, “Congress must also reaffirm our commitment to the safety and security of Israel.”
Republicans are unified in their opposition to the Iran accord, warning that the easing of sanctions will provide Iran with a windfall of up to $150 billion, which they say could be funnelled toward terrorist operations or actions against US ally Israel.
Democrats “own it,” number two Senate Republican John Cornyn posted on Twitter. “Iran deal done. With Mikulski, Obama has all the votes he needs.”

Javedur Rehman, the driver of Benazir Bhutto’s armoured vehicle, recorded his statement during today’s hearing in connection with BB’s murder case here at Adiala jail on Wednesday.
Rehman said on the day of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, her security was not adequate.
He said Benazir Bhutto was answering phone calls in which people were greeting her on holding a successful public meeting in Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi.
Since, the security was not enough on the route of her return from Liaquat Bagh, the supporters who were chanting slogans in her favour got the chance to get close to her moving vehicle, he said.
The driver said the vehicle was surrounded by a sea of people from all directions, blocking the way completely and leaving no other option for the vehicle but stop. “I kept blowing the horn, but to no avail,” he added.
He went on to say that Naheed Khan, who was present in the car, asked for opening the sun-roof. The next moment, BB got up and put her head out of the sun-roof, as she began responding to the supporters slogans and cheers. Then a big blast took place, he added.
After recording his account, the court directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to submit a report on US journalist Mark Siegel’s statement in the next hearing.
The court also summoned for next hearing one more witness named Professor Yousuf.
