Today is the 27th of November and here are the headlines.


Parliamentary Protests
The proceedings in both Houses of Parliament were adjourned after Opposition MPs raised slogans demanding discussions on issues like the Adani bribery case, Sambhal violence, and rising crime in Delhi. In the Rajya Sabha, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar rejected 18 notices for a joint parliamentary probe into the Adani bribery charges and other matters. As protests escalated, MPs began shouting slogans, leading to the adjournment. Meanwhile, a parliamentary committee on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill will meet today to review suggestions, but Opposition members are asking for more time to finish their work.

Adani Group's Clarification
Adani Green Energy (AGEL) clarified that neither Chairman Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, nor Managing Director Vneet Jaain have been charged under the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The statement comes after reports suggested charges against the trio. Senior lawyer Mukul Rohatgi also confirmed that neither Gautam nor Sagar Adani face charges in the serious counts of the US prosecutors’ five-count indictment. AGEL's clarification aims to clear any confusion about the involvement of its top executives in alleged violations.

Delhi Air Quality Update
Delhi’s air quality remains in the “very poor” category with an AQI of 301, improving slightly from Monday’s 392. Areas like Mundka and Bawana recorded the worst levels. Due to the pollution, schools in Delhi switched to a hybrid model with both in-person and online classes, as mandated by the Supreme Court. The temperature dipped to 11.6°C, and visibility at the airport was reduced to 1,600 meters. Authorities have forecast a mainly clear day ahead, though pollution concerns persist.

Lebanon-Israel Ceasefire
A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon took effect, following an agreement brokered by the US and France. Hamas expressed support for Lebanon’s efforts to protect its people and hopes for a broader deal to end the Gaza war. While international peace efforts remain stalled, Lebanon’s military is preparing to deploy in the south to help maintain the ceasefire, urging residents near the border to stay away until the Israeli military retreats. This marks a tentative step toward reducing tensions in the region.

Pakistan Protest Update
Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, led by former PM Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi, called off a planned sit-in protest in Islamabad. The decision came after violent clashes between security forces and protesters. The PTI had attempted to march towards the D-Chowk, but security forces used tear gas to disperse them. PTI leaders, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM Ali Amin Gandapur, urged protesters to return home, citing a temporary pause in the movement.
