A political row erupted in Jammu and Kashmir after the national emblem was found on a plaque at the revered Hazratbal shrine . The BJP condemned the vandalism and promised strict action, while CM Omar Abdullah questioned why the emblem had been installed there in the first place.
In Washington, President Donald Trump moved to reassure that there was “nothing to worry” about in US–India relations. When asked if he is ready to reset the relationship, Trump said, "I will always be friends with Modi... he is a great Prime Minister, ... I just don't like what he is doing at this particular moment, but India and the United States have a special relationship. There is nothing to worry about."
In Kerala, senior Congress leader V T Balram resigned as the party’s state social media in-charge. The decision followed controversy over a post he made on Bihar’s ‘bidi workers’ scheme, which triggered criticism from the BJP.
Here are the top five stories of the evening:
