Sudan army sends envoys to Saudi Arabia for truce talks

[ad_1]
Khartoum: The Sudanese Army said that it has sent negotiators to the Saudi port city of Jeddah to discuss the humanitarian truce as part of a Saudi-American initiative to end the conflict in the African country.
As part of the Saudi-American initiative, a delegation of the Sudanese Armed Forces left for Jeddah to discuss the details relating to the truce, Xinhua news agency reported, citing a statement issued on Friday by the Sudanese army.
“This tends to secure and prepare the suitable circumstances to deal with the humanitarian aspects for our citizens under the current conditions,” the statement added.

Earlier this week, both the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) agreed to extend the truce for seven days.
The RSF has not officially confirmed that it had sent negotiators to Jeddah, though local media reports said so.
Sudan has been witnessing deadly armed clashes between the Sudanese army and the RSF in the capital city of Khartoum and other areas since April 15, with the two sides accusing each other of initiating the conflict.
According to UN statistics, thousands of Sudanese citizens have been displaced or forced to seek refuge in safe areas in Sudan and neighboring countries, including Egypt, Ethiopia and Chad.
So far, the deadly clashes have left 550 people dead and 4,926 others wounded, according to the Sudanese health ministry.

8 prison staff suspended over gangster Tajpuriya’s stabbing inside Tihar Jail

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi government’s Prisons department on Friday suspended eight Tihar Jail staff members in connection with the fatal stabbing of gangster Tillu Tajpuriya on the premises, officials said.
Tajpuriya was killed early on Tuesday allegedly by four members of the rival Gogi gang — Deepak alias Titar, Yogesh alias Tunda, Rajesh, and Riyaz Khan — who stabbed him “92 times”.
A senior Prisons department official said they conducted a departmental inquiry based on which eight staff members were suspended.

The officer had earlier said, “The report was received on Friday and lapses were found on the part of nine staff members. Out of them, seven — three assistant superintendents and four warders — have been suspended.
“We had a meeting with officials of the Tamil Nadu Special Police and they have also agreed to take departmental action against their personnel.”
The Tamil Nadu Special Police provides security on the jail premises.
Sources said Tihar Jail Director-General Sanjay Beniwal met Lt Governor VK Saxena and presented him a detailed report on the stabbing.
A fresh CCTV video from Tihar Jail emerged on social media purportedly showing Tajpuriya being attacked in front of security personnel as well when they were carrying him away after he was stabbed.

Tajpuriya was assaulted with improvised weapons by the Gogi gang members inside the high security prison on Tuesday morning. But he was still alive and was being carried away by the prison security personnel when the accused attacked him for a second time, according to the fresh footage.
The footage shows security personnel were in a corridor when the accused barged in through the door and again attacked Tajpuriya. He could be seen moving his leg in the video, confirming he was alive at that time. In the footage, it appears that the security personnel remained a bystander while the assailants keep attacking the gangster.

Karnataka polls: Siddaramaiah locked in fierce fight with BJP’s Somanna in Varuna

[ad_1]
Varuna: It’s a battle royale in the Varuna constituency in Mysuru district where the BJP with all its might has decided to take Congress strongman Siddaramaiah head-on in his home turf in the May 10 Assembly election.
The ruling party has fielded Housing Minister V Somanna against the former Chief Minister, who is fighting his last election, in this segment, where his son Yathindra Siddaramaiah won the previous polls in 2018.
As the then Chief Minister, he contested from Chamundeshwari in Mysuru district from where he had been an MLA five times but had lost twice there, and Badami in Bagalkote district.

Siddaramaiah lost to JD(S) candidate G T Deve Gowda in Chamundeshwari but won from Badami with a margin of 1,696 votes against BJP’s B Sriramulu.
“We have fielded Somanna as our candidate from Varuna. You (people) make him MLA and send him to the Assembly. I’m telling you that BJP will make him a big personality…,” said Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who addressed an election rally a few days ago.
The Sangh Parivar has put all its energy behind the 72-year-old Somanna, who had been an MLA from Govindaraj Nagar in Bengaluru, from where he has been moved out for the first time.
According to Somanna, a five-time MLA, he was not willing to contest election this time and wanted to retire but the BJP top leadership asked him to fight from Varuna and Chamarajanagar segments and he could not say no to them.
“What else can I say when the Prime Minister asked me to contest from Varuna? I agreed to it,” Somanna said.

The 75-year-old Siddaramaiah, an eight time MLA, is upbeat about his electoral prospects.
“As Chief Minister I have given many good programmes. I have done a lot of work here for the people. This is my last election and after this, I am going to retire from active politics,” said.
The electioneering in Varuna has become ‘star-studded’.
Kannada actors Shivaraj Kumar and B R Vijay Kumar, popularly known as Duniya Vijay, campaigned for Somanna, while Sommanna brought in renowned actor Sudeep Sanjeev, fondly called as Kichcha Sudeep, to add star appeal.
The electoral fight is so fierce here that many voters say: “We have not seen a poll battle like this before”.

The incident occurred while Sarfaraz and his two friends were attempting to shoot a video for an Instagram reel, with a speeding train in the background.

The boy’s father said that he had left the house for Friday prayers and a couple of hours later, two of his classmates, Muzammil and Sohail, came to the house and informed him that he fell unconscious. When he reached the spot, he saw his son lying dead. The railway police have since recovered a mobile phone from the spot and have registered a case, taking up further investigation.

In a similar selfie craze incident that took place in 2021, three teenage girls of a family in Telangana’s Nirmal district lost their lives.
The girls were drowned in an irrigation tank while trying to take selfies. The tragic incident occurred at Singangaon village of Thanoor Mandal.
The deceased were identified as Elime Suneetha (16), her sister Vaishali (14) and their cousin Anjali (14).
Police said the trio accidentally fell into the lake and drowned while trying to take selfies for uploading them on social media platforms.
These incidents are a stark reminder of the risks associated with attempting dangerous stunts for social media.

‘Kill Kharge plot’ launched by BJP, alleges Congress; presents audio clip

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Congress on Saturday alleged that a “sinister and “ugly plot” is being “hatched” by the Bharatiya Janata Party to “kill” its party President Mallikarjun Kharge and his family.
At a press conference in Bengaluru today the Congress played an audio clip, claiming that the BJP candidate from Chittapur Manikanth Rathod used derogatory language for Kharge and could be heard talking about eliminating him and his family.
“BJP leaders are now hatching a plot to murder Mallikarjun Kharge and his family members. This is now clear from the recording of BJP’s candidate from Chittapur who also happens to be the blue-eyed boy of PM Modi and chief minister Bommai,” Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said.

“I know the prime minister will remain mute, and so will Karnataka police and the Election Commission of India. But people of Karnataka will not remain mute and will give a befitting reply” he said.
Sinister & Ugly Plot to Kill AICC President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge and Family by the BJP leaders unearthed!
Brazen Hatred of BJP towards Kannadigas is Manifesting itself into a “Murder Plot” to kill Karnataka’s Son of the Soil, Shri Kharge.
PM & BJP Leadership remain “Mute” as… pic.twitter.com/jJfkaRlRby
— Randeep Singh Surjewala (@rssurjewala) May 6, 2023
Pawan Khera was also present at the Congress briefing here today.
As per a Congress statement, “the brazen hatred of the BJP towards Kannadigas is manifesting itself into a ‘Murder Plot’ to kill Karnataka’s Son of the Soil, Kharge”.
It added: “The Prime Minister and the BJP leadership remain “mute” as “assassination plot” brews”.
Manikanth Rathod Rathod was arrested on November 13, 2022 for allegedly threatening Priyank Kharge, who is the Congress candidate in Chittapur, with murder and later, released on bail.

In a media conference then, he had openly expressed his readiness to shoot down Priyank Kharge.
“Intimidated by the all-round blessing of Kannadigas being showered on the Congress Party and facing a complete rout in the ensuing assembly elections, BJP and its leadership are now resorting to hatching a “murder plot” to kill AICC President, Mallikarjun Kharge, his wife and the entire family. This is clear from the audio recording of BJP Candidate from Chittapur,Manikanta Rathod, who also happens to be the ‘blue eyed boy’ of PM Narendra Modi and PM Basavaraj Bommai,” read the Congress statement.
“On May 2, BJP MLA and General Secretary, Madan Dilawar wished “death” for Mallikarjun Kharge and said “Congress President is 80 years old; God can take him away any time”. Now BJP leaders are openly plotting the assassination of Mallikarjun Kharge, his wife and the entire family,” the Congress Party alleged in the statement.
As per the Congress statement, the frustration and desperation of the BJP and its leadership has now reached dangerous proportions.
“Instead of presenting a vision of development for Karnataka, the pathetic state of the BJP is that they coin one ugly polarising issue a day to somehow save their skins from answering for the 40 per cent Corruption. Even these abusive and divisive tactics of the BJP are sinking without a trace. Now, they are using assassination plots as their last weapon in their armoury,” alleged the Congress.
As per the Congress statement, “Of course, PM Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, Karnataka Police and the Election Commission will play “mute” on this sinister conspiracy to kill AICC President and his family”.
“The only befitting reply by 6.5 crore Kannadigas to this nefarious and sinister murder plot is to decimate this murderous thought process of the BJP in the ensuing state elections,” read the Congress statement.
