This special report covers the escalating trade tensions between India and the United States, with New Delhi holding a firm stance against pressure from Washington. The bulletin highlights contradictory signals from the US administration, including claims by the then-US President about the Indian Prime Minister which were later disputed. India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has officially called the American characterization of the trade discussions 'inaccurate'. While India remains open to dialogue, the government has consistently stated that it will only agree to a 'fair and balanced deal' that serves the nation's interests, particularly those of its farmers. The report underscores that New Delhi will not be swayed by tariff pressure or political posturing in the ongoing negotiations.

A political firestorm erupts in West Bengal following Enforcement Directorate (ED) searches at premises linked to the Indian Political Action Committee (IPAC). The debate centres on the timing of the raids just months before elections and accusations of the central agency being used as a political tool. Political analyst Garga Chatterjee argues vehemently against the pressure, stating, 'if Bengalis cannot be threatened into submission by any force in the earth or in the universe, this is very important'. Countering this, BJP National Spokesperson R.P. Singh questions the presence of state government files at IPAC's office. The discussion also covers the ED's claims of tracing a money trail of over 10 crore rupees linked to a coal scam case, while the Trinamool Congress highlights the agency's low conviction rate.

On this Special Report, Gaurav Sawant discusses the 'very, very grave charges' against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding the alleged obstruction of Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials. The controversy erupted during raids at premises linked to Pratik Jain in a money laundering case involving Anup Majhi. BJP's RP Singh questioned why 'West Bengal government files' were found at the I-PAC office, calling the incident 'unlawful' and 'unconstitutional'. Meanwhile, Garga Chatterjee argued that the situation represents a 'crisis of federalism' and 'misuse of power' by the central government. India Today’s Munish Pandey reported that the ED alleges the Chief Minister snatched a phone and the DGP intimidated officials to prevent evidence recording. The programme examines the legal and political fallout of this unprecedented face-off between the state and the central agency, highlighting allegations of evidence tampering and the breakdown of constitutional mechanisms in the state.

In an exclusive interview on India Today, a West Bengal BJP leader launches a scathing attack on the state government amidst the 2026 election battle. The leader accuses the administration of orchestrating a 'total breakdown of constitutional machinery' in the state, citing chaos in the Calcutta High Court. He dismisses the Chief Minister's protests against ED raids as a sign of frustration, stating the agency is acting on court orders. The leader further alleges that the CM is compromising national security by encouraging infiltration to protect a 'consolidated Muslim vote bank'. He contrasts what he calls the government's 'divisive politics' with the BJP's 'decisive politics'.
