Democracy in danger if Election Commission acts under pressure: Raut over TMC order
Mumbai, Sep 18 (PTI) Democracy is in danger in India if the Election Commission is issuing decisions under duress, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut alleged on Friday after the poll body ordered freezing of the Trinamool Congress’s name and symbol. Speaking to reporters, Raut asserted that the TMC belongs to former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, and accused the BJP of engineering a split in the party. In its interim order issued on Thursday night, the Election Commission, after hearing leaders of the two factions led by Mamata Banerjee and Arup Roy, said the matter requires substantive determination
3 African wild dogs travelled over 4,000km to find mates, why that’s good news for the endangered species

It was one of the longest journeys recorded for the species. Known as EWD-1355, she began her journey from her pack’s home range in eastern Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, becoming one of thousands of wild dogs we’ve studied and tracked in
‘Vote chori, govt chori, now party chori’: Rahul slams EC order on TMC
New Delhi, Sep 18 (PTI) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday slammed the Election Commission over its decision of directing rival Trinamool Congress factions to not use the party name and the “flowers and grass symbol” during the West Bengal bypolls, saying the poll body’s constitutional responsibility is to protect the mandate but instead, it is aiding those very forces that overturn the people’s verdict. “First Shiv Sena, then NCP, and now Trinamool Congress. Every time, the same pattern – BJP and the Election Commission join forces to split a party. Then its election symbol is snatched away,” Gandhi said
