Sukhbir Badal, a former deputy chief minister of Punjab, said that Singh, a democrat to the core, transcended the political party to which he belonged and ensured that the office of the prime minister remained above and beyond partisan politics. "With the passing away of Dr Manmohan Singh, an era of statesmanship and civilised values in public life sadly comes to a close. Dr Sahib combined simplicity in personal life with decency, civility and uprightness in politics," Sukhbir Badal said.

"I recall the close personal relationship and constructive political equation which Dr Singh shared with my father and Akali stalwart, Sardar Parkash Singh Badal," he posted on X. "It was a tribute to Dr Singh's approach to the problems facing our country that he remained committed as Prime Minister to India's religious, cultural, linguistic and regional diversity and regarded the federal structure as the core and defining feature of our constitution and our national polity," Badal wrote. He added that Singh regarded the safeguarding of the sentiments and interests of the minorities as crucial to strengthening the unity and integrity of the country. "He firmly opposed any governmental interference in their religious affairs," Badal said. "He respected the autonomy in the functioning of the religious institutions of the minorities and firmly opposed governmental interference in the SGPC as he considered such interference as dangerous for the future of the country's strong federal structure and democratic values," he said. Former Union minister and SAD leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal said the passing away of Singh is an irreparable loss to the value-based politics in the country. "Till his very last breath, Dr Sahib remained completely untouched by the falling standards in India's public life. He remained quietly but firmly committed to the democratic values and the federal structure of our country, with an uncompromising stand against any govt interference in the religious affairs of the minorities," Harsimrat, who is also Sukhbir Badal's wife, posted on X. She said the ex-PM's life was an ode to unimpeachable personal honesty and uprightness.

New Orleans Saints fans are also familiar with the quarterback as well as the Denver Broncos . Since he retired from football following the 2023 season, many analysts have made recommendation for Bridgewater . From the Steelers to the Los Angeles Chargers, Bridgewater seemingly had a multitude of potential great fits , but he chose to stay out of the spotlight. That is, until now. Teddy Bridgewater’s remarkable NFL story receives additional chapter The Detroit Lions have picked up the quarterback, per the NFL Insiders podcast via Sports Illustrated . Bridgewater’s most recent time in the NFL was with the Lions, but he’s ready to get back to work with the playoffs on the team’s doorstep. Speaking to reporters per Lions reporter Dave Birkett on Twitter/X on December 26, Campbell claimed his addition to the quarterback room provided no change for incumbent backup quarterback Hendon Hooker. Campbell claimed he would play both quarterbacks if he needed to. Teddy Bridgewater’s comeback for the ages The former Vikings quarterback was drafted in 2015 with the last pick of the first round. He quickly showed the ability to win in his rookie and second year, getting within a Blair Walsh field goal of knocking the Seattle Seahawks out of the 2015 playoffs during their Legion of Boom run in the 20-teens. However, after losing the game, Bridgewater’s next notable cliffnote with the team would be a disaster. The quarterback suffered a non-contact knee injury at practice the following August, sidelining him for the entire 2016 season. Bridgewater eventually worked his way back into health for a brief appearance in 2017, but he had missed his opportunity with the team, working as their backup. In 2018, Bridgewater joined Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints, playing just one game for the team. However, his biggest break in years would come in 2019 when he got the chance to stand in for an injured Drew Brees, going 5-0, per Pro Football Reference. The performance elevated his stock, giving the opportunity to start for the Carolina Panthers in 2020, but he went 4-11. Still, getting back into the starting role was an accomplishment by itself. That was when the Denver Broncos came calling, looking for a quarterback to challenge Drew Lock for the starting role. Bridgewater won the job, going 7-7 in his last big NFL season, completing an impressive comeback. All in all, he went from getting selected in the first round, losing his way for four years, and then getting back into the starting saddle to bring back the struggling Denver Broncos to .500 in games he started. He signed with the Detroit Lions in 2023, before later announcing his retirement. Now he is back on the roster, and could even end up playing in the Super Bowl.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A lead organization monitoring for food crises around the world withdrew a new report this week warning of imminent famine in north Gaza under what it called Israel's “near-total blockade,” after the U.S. asked for its retraction, U.S. officials told the Associated Press. The move follows public criticism of the report from the U.S. ambassador to Israel. The rare public dispute drew accusations from prominent aid and human-rights figures that the work of the U.S.-funded Famine Early Warning System Network , meant to reflect the data-driven analysis of unbiased international experts, has been tainted by politics. A declaration of famine would be a great embarrassment for Israel, which has insisted that its 15-month war in Gaza is aimed against the Hamas militant group and not against its civilian population.
