Good evening viewers. This is your One World News Political Roundup — sharp, swift, and straight to the point. Here are the biggest political currents shaping the world today.
Parliament in Turmoil as Naravane Memoir Row Escalates
India’s Parliament witnessed intense disruption during the Budget Session as opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and senior MPs, were repeatedly prevented from quoting excerpts from an unpublished memoir by former Army Chief General M.M. Naravane. The opposition claims the memoir contains critical insights into the 2020 India–China standoff.
Heated exchanges between treasury and opposition benches led to repeated adjournments and suspensions of MPs. The controversy has stalled legislative proceedings and continues to dominate political discourse, highlighting deepening divisions between the ruling party and the opposition.

PM Modi’s Fiery Rajya Sabha Speech
Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a combative speech in the Rajya Sabha, launching a sharp attack on the Congress party and the Gandhi family. Accusing them of political opportunism, the Prime Minister used pointed remarks and sarcasm that further escalated tensions within Parliament.
The speech signals a hardening political tone as the country moves toward major electoral contests, setting the stage for an increasingly confrontational political climate.
Trump Shifts Stance on UK–Mauritius Deal
In a notable geopolitical development, U.S. President Donald Trump reversed his earlier criticism of the UK–Mauritius agreement over the Chagos Islands. After initially dismissing the deal as misguided, Trump has now described it as the best possible outcome under the circumstances.
The agreement transfers sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius while preserving strategic rights over the Diego Garcia military base. The move has sparked mixed reactions across Europe and beyond, reflecting ongoing debates around sovereignty, security, and international diplomacy.
Budget Debate Heats Up in Lok Sabha
The Lok Sabha formally began discussions on the Union Budget 2026–27, with ministers presenting key proposals related to welfare, education, labour reforms, and social security. However, frequent political confrontations have overshadowed economic deliberations.
Observers expect the Budget debate to remain politically charged, as both sides use the session to frame narratives ahead of future elections while negotiating critical economic priorities.
Thailand Heads Toward General Elections
In Southeast Asia, Thailand is entering the final phase of campaigning ahead of its general elections scheduled for February 8, 2026. Political parties are intensifying efforts to secure control of the House of Representatives.
