NEW DELHI: The founder of the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) organisation, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a designated terrorist, has made a new video in which he begs Sikhs not to board Air India flights after November 19 because they could endanger their lives. He asserted that on November 19, Air India will not be permitted to operate. "We are requesting that Sikhs avoid travelling on Air India. On November 19, there will be an international embargo. Air India will not be permitted to function. Sikhs, refrain from using Air India after November 19. In the video that is making the rounds on social media, Pannun stated, "Your life could be in danger." According to Pannun, the name of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in Delhi will change and it would remain closed on November 19. He emphasised that the present Cricket World Cup final match will take place on this same day. "It is the same day in November on which the final match of the World Terror Cup will be played," he stated. "The name of this airport will be Shahid Beant Singh, Shahid Satwant Singh Khalistan airport, when Punjab will be liberated," he stated. Chief of Staff for SFJ Pannun has threatened people before. Amidst a diplomatic spat between India and Canada after the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in September, he called for Hindu-Canadians to leave the country. In a video that went viral on social media, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said that Sikhs who supported Khalistan had continuously demonstrated their allegiance to Canada. He continued by threatening and pressuring Hindus living in Indo-Canada to leave the nation. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun's hate speech went viral, and Hindu Forum Canada's lawyers requested that the Canadian Immigration Minister forbid Pannun from entering the country.The lawyer for Hindu Forum Canada wrote to Mark Miller, Canada's Minister of Immigration, claiming that Pannun's recent remarks have traumatised and distressed both the Hindu community and the Canadian public at large. Hindu Forum Canada is an Ontario-based non-profit humanitarian organisation that promotes laws that improve the lives of minority populations in the country. Khalistani secessionists staged a 'Referendum' in Surrey, British Columbia, earlier in September. The founder of the outlawed Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, attended the Khalistani separatist assembly at the Guru Nanak Singh Gurudwara in Surrey, Vancouver. Using menacing language, Pannun made a provocative statement directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, and other prominent figures. He asserted that India's territorial integrity was being threatened by separatists. Notably, after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that "agents of the Indian government" were involved in Nijjar's June death, relations between India and Canada have deteriorated. In a tit-for-tat move over Canada's decision, India had denied the claims as "absurd and motivated" and expelled a Canadian envoy. To date, Canada has not made available any proof to the public regarding the killing of Nijjar. [caption id="attachment_5037" align="alignnone" width="249"] Sikh separatist Gurpatwant threatens to…
Kathmandu, Nov 5: A powerful earthquake that struck the mountainous region of western Nepal on Saturday night left thousands of people there without a place to sleep in the bitter cold. The earthquake claimed 157 lives and left a path of ruin. After the 6.4-magnitude earthquake in the Jajarkot district's Nalgad Municipality shook her home on Friday night around midnight, Bhawana Pun still remembers the horror that kept her up on Saturday night as well. She heard her neighbours who were sleeping outside snoring the entire night, as well as the sounds of traffic on the road. She lacked the bravery to enter the fractured house since aftershocks were happening. "The houses have sustained significant damage as a result of the earthquake." People are therefore sitting outside of their homes," a local from Jajarkot, the epicentre of the nation's most catastrophic earthquake since 2015, stated. The areas of western Nepal's Rukum and Jajarkot, some 500 kilometres northwest of Kathmandu, were most severely struck by the earthquake. The earthquake caused injuries to about 253 individuals. The National Earthquake Monitoring and Research Centre in Nepal reported that approximately 159 aftershocks were registered on Saturday.First aid has been delivered by the Ministry of Home Affairs using Army helicopters. Along with a medical team, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal "Prachanda" visited the earthquake-affected area on Saturday. He examined the impacted locations and obtained information regarding the degree of the damage during the visit. He later brought the seven injured persons and their families back to Surkhet from Jajarkot. In the wake of the terrible earthquake, the Nepali government has stated that it is not in a rush to seek outside assistance for search and rescue operations, relief distribution, and other logistical needs. During the visit to the earthquake-affected districts, Prachanda stated, "We are yet to make any decision on accepting foreign aid."A government secretary told the Kathmandu Post that the nation is capable of handling the catastrophe's repercussions. "We have an adequate supply of the logistical supplies we were given during the Covid-19 pandemic. For relief and rehabilitation, we have ample materials and staff with the necessary training," the secretary stated. A special aid package for the earthquake victims is anticipated to be decided upon at a Cabinet meeting on Sunday, which Prime Minister Prachanda is expected to chair. On Saturday, the government decided to give the districts of Jajarkot and Rukum West each Rs. 50 million in order to assist the victims with immediate help.Following the Cabinet meeting on Sunday, there will be a meeting of the disaster management committee. Teams for search and rescue activities have been activated by state security agencies in cooperation with local authorities and humanitarian organisations in the wake of the earthquake. For rescue operations, almost 4,000 members of the Nepal Army, the Armed Police Force, and the Nepal Police have been stationed in various areas of the Jajarkot and Rukum districts. Numerous volunteers from various organisations, including the Nepal Red Cross Society, have been enlisted.Brigadier General Krishna Bhandari, the spokesperson for the Nepal Army, stated that troops from three battalions, together with medical and aviation teams, had been dispatched to the two districts that were most severely affected by the earthquake. There are between 800 and 1,000 soldiers in a battalion. Many of the soldiers who have been called into action are skilled in responding quickly and looking for survivors of collapsed buildings.On the first day, our main priority was conducting search and rescue efforts. We will emphasise search and rescue for a few more days because the first 72 hours are thought to be the golden period [for a successful recovery], the Nepal Army spokesperson Brigadier General Krishna Bhandari told the Kathmandu Post. "But from now on, relief distribution will also go hand in hand." The Army is airlifting the wounded and dead while also transferring rescue and medical crews to affected areas utilising five aircraft, including a Sky Truck. The spokesperson for the Nepal Police, Deputy Inspector General Kuber Kadayat, stated that hundreds of people have been impacted by the tragedy. Details on the affected have not yet been determined, though, as they were primarily concerned with search and rescue."Once the search and rescue phase is over, we will start gathering data on the affected and the number of houses damaged or destroyed," he said to the newspaper. Rescue teams had a tough time getting to the impacted areas because the earthquake caused bridge destruction and landslides in some areas. Nepal is prone to earthquakes because it is located on the ridge where the Tibetan and Indian tectonic plates meet. Every century, these plates move two metres closer to one another, causing pressure to build up and explode as an earthquake. [caption id="attachment_5034"…
LUCKNOW: On Sunday, November 5, 1,000 kg of rice will be offered in a "akshat puja" in front of the deity by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust as one of the initial rites associated with the consecration (pran-pratistha) ceremony of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Before being placed in brass pots and given to 200 volunteers from the RSS and VHP, this rice will be combined with turmeric and desi ghee. These volunteers will then distribute the rice around the nation prior to January 22, 2024, which is the day of the consecration event. Before it is given to the people living in more than five lakh villages nationwide, an additional 100 quintals of rice will be added to it.The purpose of the puja is to inform the public about the consecration event by holding "akshat" ceremonies in villages and cities using the same "akshat" rice as the Ram Temple. In addition, about two crore pamphlets have been printed in several states' regional languages. Every household will receive these pamphlets and "akshat" rice. The Trust will organise a campaign in Ayodhya to distribute 'akshat' rice to families residing in the temple town and encourage them to do the same for their neighbours, family, and acquaintances who live in nearby regions.

Manoj Pande stated on Friday. During the Chanakya Defence Dialogue, General Pande stated that India is expanding its defence wings globally and that the Army is eager to increase the extent and magnitude of cooperative military training and exercises with friendly foreign partner countries.Examining the contemporary geopolitical upheavals, he stressed the importance of recognising the "renewed currency" of physical power and the increasing importance of national security in international politics. In the midst of hopelessness and shifting geopolitics, the Chief of Army Staff referred to India as the "bright spot." Without mentioning any specifics, Gen. Pande stated, "Our outlook emphasises respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations, equality of all, peaceful resolution of disputes, avoidance of use of force and adherence to international rules, laws and regulations."India's dedication to constructively involving all stakeholders, according to the Chief of Army Staff, has been "unwavering and enduring" over time."We are aware of our place in the developing international framework in the military sphere.

MUMBAI: Mohammed Shami took the lead to lead India to the World Cup semi-finals following a commanding 302 run victory at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, mirroring the thrilling display of Mohammed Siraj in the Asia Cup final. The pace trio has been unbeatable since Shami entered the Indian playing XI, and the batsmen once again gave way to their skill. With the opening delivery, Bumrah sent Pathum Nissanka back for a golden duck, swerving sharply, finding an edge along the way, and hitting the pads just in front of the stumps. Nissanka attempted to use a review to reverse the outcome, but the umpires' call in favour of Bumrah ended Nissanka's night.'Miyaan Magic' enthralled the entire Sri Lankan team in the subsequent over. He sent Dimuth Karunaratne for a golden duck at his first ball in the evening. Karunaratne attempted to flick the ball, but failed miserably, and became trapped in front of the stumps. The next player to fall in the same over was Sadeera Samarawickrama. He attempted to punch the ball in an attempt to release some pressure, but instead he found a thick outside edge that went straight to Shreyas Iyer. On the opening delivery of his second over, he struck again, sending captain Kusal Mendis back for a score of 1(10), rattling his stumps.The umpire hit the famous "Siu" celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo as soon as his finger touched the air. In the flash of an eye, a few overs were over as Charith Asalanka and Angelo Mathew got to work on the repairs. But the middle order fell apart as Shami entered the attack. He removed two wickets in a row in his opening over of the evening, forcing Dushan Hemantha and Charith Asalanka to return to the dugout on opposite balls. With the goal of taking more wickets and ensuring that the Men in Blue won quickly, Shami continued to be an attacking player. KK India moved one step closer to the semi-final position thanks to Rahul's superb decision behind the stumps. It appeared as though Chameera had missed the shot when he attempted to flick the ball. Rahul was the only one to seek for a review after finishing the catch. The ball passed the gloves and the DRS displayed a spike because Rohit chose to believe Rahul's gut feeling. Umpire Chris Brown was even confused by the DRS outcome. By getting beyond Mathews' protection and cutting the stump bails, Shami grabbed his fourth victim of the evening and finished with a score of 12. With the manner that Shami was bowling, another wicket was probably not far off. After four overs, Kasun Rajitha fell for 14(17), ending Shami's chase for a wicket and earning him his second five-for of the 2017 World Cup.With a stunning 302 run victory at the end of the game, Ravindra Jadeja got the last wicket. Earlier in the innings, India amassed a score of 357/8 because to action-packed efforts from Virat Kohli (88), Shreyas Iyer (82) and Shubman Gill (92). Even though Dilshan Madhushanka took five wickets, the Indian squad was still able to score a huge amount of runs. Brief Score: Sri Lanka 55 (Kasun Rajitha 14; Mohammed Shami 5-18, Mohammed Siraj 3-16) against. India 357/8 (Shubman Gill 92, Virat Kohli 88, Dilshan Madushanka 5-80).
