5 top tech gifts for the holidays( MENAFN - IANS) New Delhi, Dec 29 (IANS) Union Railways Minister and senior BJP leader Ashwini Vaishnaw, on Saturday, hit out at the congress for politicising the death of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and said that Singh was insulted by the grand old party when the then Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi publicly tore an ordinance which was approved by the Union Cabinet under Dr Singh in 2013. In a post on social media platform X, Union Minister Vaishnaw said: "The ultimate insult came in 2013 when Rahul Gandhi publicly tore up an ordinance approved by the Cabinet chaired by Dr Singh as Prime Minister of India. Height of hypocrisy indeed." Manmohan Singh, a man of intellect and integrity, remained steadfast in his leadership despite facing insults and challenges, particularly from within his own party. As he breathed his last on December 26, the country remembers how, despite Rahul Gandhi's insults, the isolated PM continued to stand firm in his commitment to the nation. In a dramatic moment that shook the corridors of Indian politics, Rahul Gandhi, the then Vice-President of the Congress Party, publicly tore up a crucial ordinance supported by his own government in 2013. The ordinance, aimed at protecting convicted lawmakers from immediate disqualification, was a controversial piece of legislation that had already been passed by the Union Cabinet and was presented as a way to address the issues faced by politicians with pending criminal cases. However, it was Rahul Gandhi's shocking move that turned the ordinance into one of the most discussed moments in Indian political history. This event took place just days before the Congress-led UPA government's proposed ordinance was to be introduced in Parliament. The ordinance, seen as a protectionist measure for politicians facing charges, had been endorsed by then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and several members of the Cabinet. Dr Singh, known for his calm demeanour and technical approach to governance, was caught in a political storm when Rahul Gandhi made an unexpected announcement on the matter. Later at a press conference, Rahul Gandhi not only condemned the ordinance but also took the bold step of publicly tearing it up, declaring it as "complete nonsense". His fiery stance shocked many, including his party colleagues, and revealed a clear rift between the Congress leadership. Rahul Gandhi's actions were seen as a direct challenge to former Prime Minister Dr Singh's authority and his government's decisions, sending a clear signal of the young leader's growing discontent with the old guard and his desire to chart a new political course for the Congress Party. This ordinance, which came at a time when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was on a foreign trip, had severely embarrassed the then UPA government, which went on to withdraw the Act. AIIMS informed that Dr Manmohan Singh breathed his last on Thursday night at the age of 92 due to age-related medical conditions. Dr Singh retired from the Rajya Sabha earlier this year after serving for 33 years in the Parliament. Dr Manmohan Singh, born in Punjab in 1932, served two terms as Prime Minister of India -- from 2004 to 2014. He took the oath of office for the first time in 2004, after Congress' win in the 2004 Lok Sabha election against Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA. He served his second term from 2009 to 2014. He was then succeeded by PM Narendra Modi in 2014. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government is committed to setting up a memorial for former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, Punjab unit BJP General Secretary Anil Sarin said in Chandigarh on Saturday. The BJP has always been keen on giving due respect to national heroes like the great economist Dr Manmohan Singh, who heralded major economic reforms in the country, he told the media. "The BJP has always risen above politics, and it has even conferred Bharat Ratna on Congress leaders Madan Mohan Malviya, P.V. Narasimha Rao and Pranab Mukherjee,” said Sarin. He said the Central Cabinet has already decided to erect a national memorial in memory of Dr Manmohan Singh at its meeting on December 27. He said the place for the memorial requires to be acquired, transferred, setting up of a trust and there are certain other paperwork too involved. "Once the ball is set rolling, the work shall be completed on the memorial as soon as possible," he clarified. He said that despite Union Home Minister Amit Shah having conveyed the decision to erect a memorial to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, the grand old party "is wrongly propagating that the Modi government is not keen to erect a memorial. The Congress has never respected Dr Manmohan Singh and it's a matter of shame that the Congress is playing petty politics over the death of its own stalwart leader". Sarin said that apart from Nehru and Gandhi's family, Dr Manmohan Singh was the only Prime Minister that has served the nation spanning 10 years in a row. "All of us are well aware of the disgrace of late P.V. Narasimha Rao, who served the nation for five years as PM, suffered at the hands of his own party. Even the autobiography of Pranab Mukherjee mentions it," he added. Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, who was also a noted economist, passed away at the AIIMS in Delhi on Thursday. He was 92. Dr Singh is credited with bringing reforms and transformational changes to the country's economy when it was passing through a tough phase. His demise has been condoled by leaders cutting across political lines, eminent personalities as well as global leaders.

'Let's not panic': Canada picks up the pieces after ugly Latvia loss at world juniorsZuby Ejiofor delivered an early Christmas present to St. John's in the form of a buzzer-beating shot to keep the Red Storm's winning streak alive. St. John's (10-2) beat Providence at the horn back on Dec. 20 to win its fifth straight game and move to 2-0 in the Big East. Back on its campus in New York, St. John's will face Delaware on Saturday for one last tune-up before returning to conference action. In the Red Storm's first true road game of the season, Providence led most of the way before Ejiofor and RJ Luis Jr. steered the comeback. Ejiofor made a jumper in the lane in the final second to secure a 72-70 win. Coach Rick Pitino saw evidence that his team had grown from the start of the season. The Red Storm's two losses came on a double-overtime buzzer-beater against Baylor and by three points versus Georgia. "I think they're mentally maturing," Pitino told the New York Post. "Three weeks ago, with missing all those free throws, all those shots, we lose by 12 to 16 points. But they're maturing mentally and getting tougher because (that night) we didn't have it offensively, and they still found a way to win on the road in a tough environment." Ejiofor had 19 points and 10 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season. On a team stacked with talent, he and Luis have been the main catalysts. Luis averages 17.0 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, and Ejiofor provides 14.6 points and a team-best 7.8 rebounds per contest. Ejiofor's game-winner came on an offensive board and second-chance look. "My philosophy is, and Coach says, every shot is essentially my rebound," Ejiofor said. "I have pride in getting my team a second chance, and that's exactly what I did." Delaware (7-5) has had a quiet month, with two of its three wins coming against non-Division I teams. But its other win in that time was a 93-80 romp against rival Delaware State on Dec. 3. That night, the Blue Hens shot a red-hot 17-of-31 from 3-point range. The 17 makes were one shy of tying the program record. Cavan Reilly (five 3-pointers) led them that night with 20 points, but three other starters also buried three triples. "That's what I envisioned out of this group," coach Martin Ingelsby told the Delaware News Journal, "to have multiple weapons." Delaware would love to rediscover that shooting touch. It made just 6 of 21 shots from deep in a 72-64 loss to Saint Peter's on Dec. 20. John Camden paces Delaware with 14.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. Four other players average double-figure scoring: Niels Lane (13.7), Reilly (12.9), Erik Timko (12.4) and Izaiah Pasha (10.7). --Field Level Media
Mike Tyson, 58, is facing a €1.46 million ($1.59 million) lawsuit after he allegedly broke an agreement with a gambling promotional company by fighting the 27-year-old Jake Paul in November. Medier, a media company promoting gambling brand Rabona, is suing Tyson for failing to honor a deal signed with the Cyprus-based business in January. The lawsuit was filed at London's High Court in October ahead of the fight. Tyson and his fighting venture Tyrannic allegedly backed out of their agreement with Medier in March after claiming a breach of their own. The fight against Paul - originally slated for July 20 - was announced on the same day. Paul defeated Tyson by a unanimous decision at the A&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas on November 15 in front of a crowd of over 73,000 people. Jake Paul issues scathing response to Canelo Alvarez after boxing legend's fight comments Sydney Thomas opens up on message from Jake Paul during Mike Tyson fight night In the lawsuit, Medier expressed how their actions did not merit a breach and Tyson's sudden departure caused €1.46 million in damage. "The true reason for Mr Tyson and Tyrannic's hasty and unlawful termination was because Mr. Tyson had agreed [to] a deal, sponsored by Netflix, to fight the influencer Jake Paul," Medier and their lawyers wrote. Tyson and Tyrannic are yet to formally contest the lawsuit and may file a defense in the coming days. Both Tyson and Medier were reached for comment by the Mirror U.S. While the fight may have lacked emphatic punches and featured a slew of streaming delays, it was a tremendous commercial success for Netflix. The media giants reported that streaming "peaked at 65 million concurrent streams watching around the world, with 38 million concurrent streams in the United States" per a PR release. Paul reportedly took home a $40 million purse while Tyson netted $20 million. The earnings were slightly lopsided because A) Paul promoted the fight and B) his large social-media following. The fight itself was littered with advertisements for sports betting company Draftkings. "This is one of those situations when you lost but still won," Tyson wrote on X a day after the fight. "I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in [the] ring one last time." "I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won," he continued. "To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you."An online debate over foreign workers in tech shows tensions in Trump’s political coalition
