Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a vocal Trump ally and leading MAGA figure, has announced she will resign from Congress on January 5, 2026. Her decision follows a public fallout with former President Donald Trump, who called her a “traitor” and withdrew his endorsement amid her push to release Jeffrey Epstein files. Greene cited relentless personal attacks, death threats, and a toxic political climate, stating she refuses to be a “battered wife.” She defended her record, saying standing up for abused women should not earn her betrayal accusations. Trump reacted by calling her resignation “great news for the country.”

India’s four new labour codes — the Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, Code on Social Security and Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions Code — came into effect on 21 November 2025, ushering major change in the regulatory landscape. Market watchers expect large swings in labour-intensive sectors such as autos, chemicals, paints, oil, and pharmaceuticals: while improved job security and worker welfare broadly promise long-term strength, input costs may rise in the near term. Ten stocks identified for focus on Monday include: Asian Paints, Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Larsen & Toubro (LT), Cipla, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Aurobindo Pharma, Tata Steel, JSW Steel and Reliance Industries. Analysts say any short-term dip in these stocks may offer a long-term buying opportunity.

Bengaluru police have arrested three individuals, including police constable Annappa Naik and two employees of CMS Info Systems (Xavier, a former employee, and Gopi, a current employee), in connection with the November 19 broad-daylight cash van heist.

Police recovered ₹5.76 crore. Investigators noted the operation was meticulously planned over three months, avoiding CCTVs, using multiple languages, and frequent vehicle changes to mislead authorities. The manhunt for the remaining accused is ongoing across South Indian states. (PC: AFP)

Delhi Police have busted a major international arms racket that smuggled high-end pistols made in China and Turkey into India using drones from Pakistan. Four gang members, including wanted criminal Mandeep from Punjab, were arrested. Police recovered 10 foreign pistols and 92 live cartridges. The gang worked with Pakistan’s ISI, officials said. Drones dropped weapon consignments wrapped in carbon paper to avoid scanners. Gang members picked them up and supplied them to criminals in Delhi and nearby states. The main handler, Jaspreet alias Jassa, is based in the US and linked directly to Pakistan. Security agencies are probing the network after the recent Red Fort blast. (PC: NDTV)

Parents of MBBS students at Al-Falah University in Faridabad gathered at the campus gate on Saturday to seek clear answers about their children’s future. The meeting came after the Enforcement Directorate detained the university chairman, raising fear and confusion among nearly 900 students. Parents said there has been no clear communication from the administration, and many teachers are leaving. They worry the National Medical Commission may review or withdraw the university’s recognition. Families asked for a written update on classes, exams, hospital training and safety. They said they only want clarity and stability for their children. (PC: HT)

A major breakthrough has come in the Delhi blast probe. Dr Muzammil Shakeel, linked to Jaish, has confessed to planning blasts across several Indian cities. He told investigators he had spent two years collecting explosives, chemicals, remotes, and other bomb parts. Muzammil and suicide bomber Umar Mohammad raised ₹26 lakh to fund the operation themselves. They also bought large amounts of fertiliser and stored chemicals in a deep freezer. The group worked at Al Falah University, which is now under investigation. Officials say the plan was for multiple blasts, but the Red Fort explosion happened early. Umar died in the blast.

Al-Falah University has told NAAC that the false accreditation claims on its website were due to an “oversight” and old webpages. The university said it was sorry and has removed the wrong information. NAAC had issued a notice on November 12 after finding that the university displayed expired grades as active. The notice came soon after investigators linked doctors from Al-Falah Medical College to the Red Fort blast. NAAC officials said no further action is planned for now, but similar notices have gone to 25 other institutions. The case has also led to action by the ED and the National Medical Commission.
