Shiv Sena warns ally Congress after CWC mess
Lashing out at its ally Congress amid its internal tussle, Shiv Sena’s mouthpiece Saamana has said that India is in need of a viable opposition and the grand-old party's members should not revolt in Maharashtra. Saamana even mentioned that 11 Congress leaders have pointed out the misdoings of the Uddhav Thackeray government and have sat on a strike. According to Sena, instead of protesting against the MVA government which was formed after the consent of their central leaderships, Congress should rather focus on solving their internal crisis, so that country gets an Opposition it needs.

Sibal claims higher purpose as coup against Sonia Gandhi stymied
Despite being outmanoeuvred in their attempt to coerce the Gandhis to appoint a 'non-Gandhi chief' and the dissenters reaffirming their 'faith' in the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, it seems the chaos in Congress is far from over. Taking to Twitter, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal - one of the dissenters, who on Monday, went all guns blazing on former party chief Rahul Gandhi only to eventually withdraw his statement - has said that the matter is about his country. In a two-line response to Congress party again selecting Sonia Gandhi as their interim chief until next AICC session, Sibal said that it is not about a post, adding that country matters the most.

China's stooge makes crude point about 'old men' in US
After the Republican National Convention on Monday formally re-nominated US President Donald Trump as the party's presidential candidate for the November 3 election, China's state-owned media stooge took a dig at Trump and his rival Joe Biden. Editor of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) mouthpiece Global Times Hu Xijin said that the US democracy is going "awry" as it is letting "two old men" compete for US presidency.
The average age of Trump, 74, and Biden, 78, is 76. Four years later, their average age is 80, higher than average life expectancy in the US, which is 78.6. US democracy is going awry, letting two old men compete for the most important position in the US.
