Supreme Court to Hear Free Speech Case; Sukhbir Badal Attacked; Uttarakhand Tunnel Accident Kills Workers

In Uttarakhand, a tunnel construction accident killed six to seven workers and injured others. Rahul Gandhi faced criticism from the BJP for his remarks on Prime Minister Modi's foreign policy, while the Supreme Court quashed a hate speech case against him.
