Derek O Brien Smriti Irani

Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien on Wednesday shared that he was sexually abused as a teenager and urged people to talk about such experiences instead of repressing them, as he participated in a debate in parliament on a law on sexual crimes against children.

As the terms of several prominent faces in the Rajya Sabha, including Union minister Smriti Irani, CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury and Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien, are coming to an end later this month, the polls to fill 10 Rajya Sabha seats in Gujarat, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh will be held tomorrow.

Union Minister Smriti Irani, CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury and Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien are among the 10 leaders who would end their terms in Rajya Sabha, the Upper House of Parliament, in July and August. Elections for the seats, which lie across Bengal, Gujarat and Goa, will be held on June 8.

Union Minister Smriti Irani, sharply rebutting Trinamool Congress lawmaker Derek O'Brien in parliament today, appeared to defend a man linked to one of the controversial Twitter handles named for rape threats and communal propaganda.

By all accounts, she comes to this session a notch down, having lost a high-profile portfolio (being switched from HRD to Textiles) and being dropped from the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs. Will we see a tepid, quieter Smriti Irani this time?
