“In India, weapons are worshiped not to dominate any land, but to protect its own”: PM

editor October 25, 2023

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Tuesday in honour of Vijayadashami that India worships its weaponry for self-defense rather than to subjugate other nations. There's also the tradition of 'Shastra Puja' on Vijayadashami. Weapons are venerated in India, although not so much to rule over other lands as to defend their own. Speaking to the audience at the Dwarka Sri Ram Leela Society at DDA ground in Sector 10 of the national capital, Prime Minister Modi stated, "Our Shakti Puja is not just for us but for the welfare of the entire world."The PM mentioned that the nation is celebrating Dussehra after nearly two months of the Moon mission, citing the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission. India became the first nation to land a spacecraft on the moon when the Chandrayaan-3 lander, named "Vikram," landed on August 23 in the South Pole, marking the end of a 40-day mission. I'm wishing a very happy Navratri and Vijayadashami to all of my countrymen. The celebration represents the triumph of virtue over evil. We are commemorating Vijayadashami this year, marking two months since we defeated the Moon. We are capable of building INS Vikrant and Tejas, and we are aware of Gita's knowledge," the PM declared.PM Modi went on to say that the nation's citizens understand the value of Lord Ram and how to guard the country's borders. We are lucky to be able to witness the construction of the largest temple dedicated to Lord Rama today. The globe will be filled with delight on the next Ramnavami in Ayodhya, with every tune resonating in Ramlala's temple. Lord Ram will only be residing in the Ram Temple for a few more months," he continued.

Administration almost ‘manhandled’ Mehbooba, didn’t allow her to hold peaceful protest for Palestine: Iltija

editor October 25, 2023

SRINAGAR: Iltija Mufti, the media advisor of Mehbooba Mufti, the head of the People's Democratic Party, asserted on Tuesday that the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister was nearly "manhandled" when she attempted to organise a nonviolent demonstration in favour of Palestine during Israel's conflict. Iltija Mufti, a news conference speaker and Mehbooba Mufti's daughter, questioned the Jammu and Kashmir local administration further, questioning why it has been suppressing the PDP since 2019. Mehbooba Mufti was nearly violently attacked when she attempted to demonstrate in favour of Palestine. She was denied the right to peaceful protest.I would like to know why the local government has been suppressing the PDP since 2019. You accuse us of being anti-national. However, the things we wish to do are nonviolent," Iltija Mufti stated. Amidst the present Israel-Hamas conflict, which has resulted in over 5,000 deaths so far, Iltija made her thoughts. India has vehemently denounced the terror strikes that Hamas launched against Israel on October 7, which sparked a war that is currently in its eighteenth day. "Very horrified to learn about the terrorist attacks in Israel. Our hearts and prayers are with the families of the innocent victims. At this trying time, we are united in support of Israel," Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on social media, X. Iltija went on to say that during the previous two weeks, at least 1,500 children had been "slaughtered". "People are turning out in large numbers to support the Palestinian citizens who are victims of crimes committed against them. They are under attack from bombs made of phosphorus. In the last two weeks, at least 1,500 youngsters had been killed, the speaker claimed. Since October 7, Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 5,087 Palestinians. Mehbooba Mufti expressed her disapproval of Israel earlier on October 21 in response to the West Asian country's conflict with Hamas.Mehbooba Mufti and other demonstrators chanted "Israel go back" throughout the demonstration. In Palestine, 1,500 children have died. In Palestine, thousands of innocent people have perished. The entire globe is a spectator. When children were slain in Ukraine during their conflict with Russia, the world erupted in protest. Thousands of people have been slaughtered in Palestine recently, yet nobody is discussing it. We implore all countries to exert pressure on Israel to implement a cease-fire. In Palestine, atrocities are being committed. Israel is harming Palestinians with actions reminiscent of the Holocaust. In the long run, this can make things worse. Mehbooba Mufti declared, "Israelis have to evacuate Palestine.The vice president of the National Conference (NC) remarked that innocent people are dying in Gaza bombardment while addressing the media reporters present on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. We have been against what is taking place in Gaza since the very beginning. Bombs in Gaza are killing innocent people... The world has seen that Israel and Russia are subject to distinct laws," Abdullah remarked. Speaking to the media, he posed questions to the world community, saying, "If what Russia did to Ukraine was a war crime, then what Israel is doing to Gaza is not wrong? It is impossible for both to be true. The world must now determine what is right." said Abdullah.…

Only 10 Local Youth Joined Militancy In 2023: DGP

editor October 24, 2023

Srinagar, Oct 24: Director General Police Dilbagh Singh stated on Tuesday that just 10 local teenagers in Jammu and Kashmir joined militant ranks in 2023, compared to 110 the year before. Singh was making an appeal to the ultras to desist from violence and reintegrate into society. Following his visit to the Mata Badrakali Temple in Handwara, Kupwara district, Singh informed media that the militant movement in Jammu and Kashmir was "almost finished" and that its "remnants" will soon be eradicated.Only ten (local) teenagers have joined militancy this year. A year before, 110 had turned militant. How fortunate it would have been for none of them to enlist, as even out of the ten, six have already died and the other four will soon follow in death. "They ought to veer off the violent path and return," he declared.According to Singh, terrorists have families of their own, and security personnel are not made happy by these kinds of murders. Additionally, I would like to state that we are not at all pleased with the deaths of militants. They are part of a family as well. We desire that everyone who has strayed from the road of peace return, give up their weapons, and lead a regular life," he continued. Over the past five years, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has significantly changed, according to the DGP."The militancy, which had descended upon Jammu and Kashmir as a whole like a tragedy, has nearly ended, and what remains will be eradicated shortly. "Everyone can now move around freely and there is no longer a sense of fear." We live in peaceful and happy times right now," he remarked. He said that there are very few active terrorists in North Kashmir, but there are a few strange floating militants that constantly move from one location to another. They'll be removed as well.

Irfan dances with Rashid to fulfill his promise following Afghanistan’s historic victory over Pakistan

editor October 24, 2023

OCT 24, 2023 : Alongside star spinner Rashid Khan, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan celebrated Afghanistan's incredible victory against Pakistan in the 2017 World Cup in style. Afghanistan stunned the crowd on Monday by winning their first-ever 50-over cricket match against Pakistan and their second unexpected victory in the World Cup. While the Afghanistan squad was celebrating, Rashid noticed Irfan providing commentary for the host broadcaster. After seeing one another, the two cricket players gave each other a tight hug and danced to celebrate their win.Irfan commented, "And I full filled mine," after sharing a video of the joyous occasion on Instagram. He also talked about keeping his word if Afghanistan won. I informed @rashid.khan19 that I would dance again after he assured me that they will win again." On Monday, Afghanistan upset their neighbours with a crushing eight-wicket loss on a sluggish Chennai surface, riding high on an impressive all-around performance in the field. Together with Rahmat Shah (77)* at No. 3, the opening duo of Rahmanullah Gurbaz (65) and Ibrahim Zadran (87) shone at the bat to enable Afghanistan record a historic victory. Following their humiliation by India, Pakistan's bowlers produced another lacklustre performance, putting no pressure on the Afghan batting while holding India to a respectable total of 283 on a difficult and slow-moving Chennai pitch. Afghanistan chased 283—a difficult score on a Chennai surface that offered variable bounce—and won by eight wickets with one over remaining. Afghanistan has now defeated two of cricket's biggest powers, Pakistan (the past world champions) and England (the current champions). Afghanistan's victory moved them up to sixth place in the standings. Pakistan, meanwhile, maintained their fifth-place finish with four points and a net run rate of -0.400.Next up for the flying Afghans is a match against Sri Lanka on October 30 at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, which has a high scoring capacity.
