Biggest Story In India Headlines 4th June 2025
On June 3, 2025, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann kindled a storm with a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its response to Operation Sindoor, a military campaign against the Pahalgam terror strike. Addressing the press after a Cabinet meeting, Mann alleged that the BJP was politicizing the symbolism of the operation—particularly the cultural importance of sindoor (vermilion)—to register votes for the June 19 Ludhiana West assembly bypoll. In a scathing remark, he asked if the BJP was introducing a “one nation, one husband” plan, a remark for which he faced instant outrage. Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu lashed out at Mann, calling him for making a mockery of widows of slain soldiers in the Pahalgam attack with “cheap” and “crass political comment.” Bittu called for Mann’s resignation for his remarks insulting national security efforts as well as for Congress Party criticizing him for hurting Hindu sentiments across the country. The row has raised temperature before the bypoll election, wherein AAP has a high-stakes fight, pointing towards the precarious overlap of politics and military gallantry in India.

Yes Bank shares rose 2% to Rs 21.86 a share on June 23, 2025, after the board gave its go-ahead for a Rs 16,500 crore fundraise strategy, combining debt and equity issues. The private lender plans to raise Rs 7,500 crore through equity and Rs 9,000 crore through debt securities, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. This follows an announcement on May 22, 2025, that Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) would be acquiring a 20% stake and would become the bank’s largest shareholder.
The sale of stake to State Bank of India (SBI) and other large lenders such as HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank reflects Yes Bank’s continued turnaround from its 2020 rescue. SMBC’s investment of Rs 14,200 crore will make SBI cut its stake to 10.8%, with others holding a combined 2.9%. Yes Bank’s strong March quarter performance, with a 63.3% rise in profit to Rs 738.1 crore and better net non-performing assets at 0.3%, reassures about its growth path. The raise is likely to reinforce the bank’s capital base, driving expansion and investor confidence.

India’s Covid-19 scenario is deteriorating, with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare logging 4,026 active cases as of June 3, 2025. The upswing, fueled by local outbreaks and imported infections during and after travel, is most marked in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Kerala, with smaller clusters being reported from Gwalior and Himachal Pradesh’s Sirmaur district.
Five deaths were reported across the last 24 hours—one in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, and two in Maharashtra—demonstrating the virus’s lingering threat. Local authorities have released new advisories, calling for mask use and vaccination boosters to stem the tide. The government’s appeal for prudence follows worries regarding healthcare system readiness, particularly in high-risk zones. While India struggles with this upsurge, measures at the public health front and awareness campaigns are essential to avoid further intensification.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) launched a revolutionary system on June 3, 2025, to make voter turnout reporting more efficient during elections. The ECINET app, one unified digital platform that consolidates more than 40 ECI tools in place, is designed to minimize delays and promote transparency. Scheduled to be launched in the next Bihar elections, the system enables presiding officers at polling stations to feed voter turnout figures every two hours directly into ECINET, instead of manually reporting through sector magistrates.
This facilitates quicker aggregation at the constituency level with rough voting trends made available every two hours through the Voter Turnout (VTR) App. While not statutorily mandated, the initiative facilitates timely public communication. The ECI’s move addresses past criticisms of delayed reporting, promising greater efficiency and trust in India’s electoral process.

India is pursuing diplomatic channels to resolve a critical shortage of rare earth magnets from China, which threatens its auto and electronics industries. The Economic Times on June 3, 2025, stated that stuck imports, awaiting approval from China’s commerce ministry, have put producers such as Continental Automotive and Mahle Electric Drives at risk of production.
Depleting inventories had the warning bell of SIAM for the impending disruptions. Rare earth magnets, which are crucial for electric vehicles and electronic circuits, are critical to industries from aerospace to clean energy. In spite of the Chinese embassy’s approval, shipments are not being cleared in two months, and that too affects India’s Rs 306 crore import market. The crisis shows India’s dependence on Chinese supplies and the necessity for quick alternative sourcing strategies to protect industrial production.

The government’s assurance of assistance at the center reflects the urgency with which the crisis must be addressed, as relentless rain worsens the situation. While rescue and rehabilitation operations gain momentum, the priority is immediate assistance and rebuilding the destroyed towns.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt played down the comments, confirming Trump’s support for the bill. Musk’s vocal criticism, after his stint in the Department of Government Efficiency, has raised questions regarding his influence and future political involvement, particularly as he intends to cut down campaign expenses.
