Telegram Moves Delhi High Court Against Temporary Block
Messaging platform Telegram has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the Centre’s decision to temporarily block the platform ahead of the NEET-UG re-test. The matter was mentioned before the court, which agreed to hear Telegram’s petition. According to reports, the temporary restriction was imposed as part of measures linked to examination integrity concerns following the NEET controversy.
The Centre’s decision came amid allegations that Telegram was being used by organized networks involved in exam-related fraud and the circulation of leaked material. Government agencies have argued that the move was necessary to protect the integrity of the examination process.
Telegram has reportedly challenged the restriction, arguing that a platform-wide block affects millions of legitimate users and businesses. The case is expected to draw attention from digital rights groups, technology experts, and education stakeholders.
Shiv Sena (UBT) Faces Fresh Split Speculation
Meanwhile, political developments in Maharashtra have intensified after reports suggested growing internal unrest within Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray). Speculation around a possible split has gained momentum following reports that several MPs may be considering a separate course of action.
In response, Shiv Sena (UBT) has issued a whip directing its MPs to attend an important meeting in Delhi. Party leaders have publicly denied reports of an imminent split, but concerns have grown amid what political observers are calling “Operation Tiger” speculation.
Party MP Arvind Sawant has also written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, requesting that no separate faction be recognized if any MPs attempt to break away from the party. The move is being viewed as an effort to maintain unity within the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction.
Sanjay Raut Alleges Attempts to Induce Defections
Adding to the controversy, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut alleged that some MPs were being offered financial incentives to switch sides. The claims have further fueled political debate, although no independent verification of the allegations has been reported.
The developments have kept Maharashtra politics in the spotlight, with analysts closely watching whether the party can avoid another major internal crisis following the 2022 split that reshaped the state’s political landscape.
Why It Matters
Both stories are drawing national attention for different reasons:
Telegram’s legal challenge could influence future debates around digital platforms, online regulation, and examination security.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) developments could have significant implications for Maharashtra politics and opposition dynamics ahead of future elections.
As legal proceedings and political meetings continue, both situations are expected to remain in focus over the coming days.
