Addressing a gathering of tens of thousands of supporters at a mosque in Tehran, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed to defeat the country's "enemies" in his Friday sermon, backing Palestinians and Lebanese movements against Israel.
The Supreme Court formed an independent special investigation team to conduct probe into allegations of use of animal fat in making Tirupati laddus. The special investigation team (SIT) will comprise two officials each from the CBI and the Andhra Pradesh Police besides a senior FSSAI official.
