In Indian politics, the magazine covers the ‘Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod’ Rally, where Congress MP Rahul Gandhi reiterated his familiar rhetoric against the “Narendra Modi–RSS government,” vowing to remove the regime and accusing the Modi government of evading questions on electoral integrity. The issue also addresses concerns regarding EVM Manipulation in India. Legal coverage includes news that Umar Khalid was granted Interim Bail, a situation contrasted with BJP leader Kapil Mishra, who is considered a main accused in the Delhi riots and is enjoying state impunity. 

The publication also examines the proposed Karnataka Hate Speech and Hate Crimes (Prevention) Bill, 2025. Furthermore, it reports on Navjot Kaur Sidhu setting a clear condition for her husband, Navjot Singh Sidhu, to return to active politics, demanding he be declared the Congress party’s chief ministerial candidate in Punjab.

President Trump has launched the “Trump Gold Card,” a new immigration initiative designed to provide a direct path to citizenship for qualified individuals, and has also expressed concerns over the proposed multi-billion-dollar acquisition of Warner Bros. by Netflix, citing the potential for market dominance. 

China executed Bai Tianhui, the former general manager of China Huarong International Holdings, after finding him guilty of corruption. The Council of Europe has positioned its Framework Convention on AI and human rights as the first-ever international legally binding agreement, bridging human rights-based governance and AI technical standardisation.
