Zohran Mamdani's mother & director Mira Nair mentioned in Epstein files
Zohran Mamdani heckled outside his NYC home after his mother, filmmaker Mira Nair, was mentioned in a recent set of Epstein Files released by the US Justice Department.
Aroon Purie, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of India Today Group, delivered the keynote address at the third edition of the Safaigiri Awards today.
Mr Purie in his address said, "When Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited me to be a Swachhata Ambassador in 2014, I didn't realise the journey would be so exhilarating and rewarding. I was your garden variety Indian, complaining about widespread dirt and uncommon filth and doing very little about it. I am ashamed to say that we had all gone immune and blind to the indignity of Open Defecation till Prime Minister Modi in his first Independence Day speech brought it front and centre of the national discourse."
The chairman of the India Today Group did not forget to acknowledge PM Modi, "Prime Minister in his three years has done many major reforms but I believe his greatest legacy will be his Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. For that, the nation should be grateful to him".

On Monday, US President Donald Trump confirmed that India and the United States had reached an agreement, under which reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods would be reduced from 25 percent to 18 percent.
