    Salman objects to social media users still linking Shehnaaz & Sidharth

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: Bollywood star Salman Khan has asked social media users who keep talking about Shehnaaz Gill and the late Sidharth Shukla and tag them as ‘SidNaaz’ to stop doing that and let Shehnaaz move on in life.

    Appearing on ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ along with the ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ cast, Salman said Sidharth is no more and now it is time for Shehnaaz to have her own life and find love if she wants to.

    Shehnaaz cannot just remain unmarried forever, Salman said.

    “Even Sidharth would have wanted her to move on and start a family,” he added.

    “Par social media pe yeh kuchh log jo SidNaaz, SidNaaz karte rahte hain, zindagi bhar yeh kunwari rahegi kya? (Some people on social media keep troubling her, saying SidNaaz, SidNaaz. Will she remain single for the rest of her life?),” commented an irate Salman.

    Continuing in the same vein, he said: “Yeh jitney bhi SidNaaz, SidNaaz karte hain, inmein se kisi ek ko chunliya toh woh abhi kahega haan mai tumhara hun. Kya bakwaas baatien hai yeh, kisi ki sunna nahi sirf apne dil ki suno and move on in life. (If she chooses one among those SidNaaz fans, they will happily accept her as life partner. All of this is nonsense. Don’t listen to them, listen to your heart and move on in life).”

    Come Eid and Shehnaaz will be seen in ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ along with Salman and a trio of Telugu stars — Venkatesh Daggubati, Pooja Hegde and Jagapathi Babu — as well as Raghav Juyal, Palak Tiwari, Jassi Gill, Siddharth Nigam, Vinali Bhatnagar and Sukhbir.

    They came on the show to promote the film.

  • Pro-Khalistan protesters hurl objects at Indian mission in London

    Pro-Khalistan protesters hurl objects at Indian mission in London

    [ad_1]

    London: Around 2,000 protesters waving Khalistan flags descended upon the Indian High Commission here on Wednesday for a planned demonstration and hurled objects and chanted slogans amid a heightened security presence and barricades.

    The Indian High Commission countered by unfurling an additional humongous tricolour on the roof of its building, which seemed to rile the protesters further who then hurled coloured flares and water bottles towards the mission building and at police officers and media covering the protest.

    Scotland Yard reacted by further blockading the area outside India House and several additional uniformed and mounted officers on horseback were deployed immediately to the area.

    Unlike the violent disorder on Sunday when India House came under attack, the protesters were barricaded across the road with uniformed officers standing guard and patrolling the area throughout. The protesters, including turbaned men, and some women and children, had been bused in from different parts of the UK and chanted pro-Khalistan slogans.

    The organisers used mikes to make anti-India speeches and attack the Punjab Police for alleged human rights violations. The speeches switched between English and Punjabi to make allegations of Indian media bias for calling them fringe elements and backed by Pakistan’s spy agency ISI.

    Banners for the so-called “National Protest”, organised by groups such as the Federation of Sikh Organisations (FSO) and Sikh Youth Jathebandia, have been circulating on social media since before a protest on Sunday, which ended in violent disorder at India House.

    The Indian government had registered a strong protest over the lack of security measures at its diplomatic mission, which ended in Khalistan flag-waving protesters smashing windows of the Indian High Commission and attempting to pull down the Tricolour.

    Since the weekend, several uniformed officers have been patrolling the area in Aldwych and Metropolitan Police vans have been stationed at India Place.

    Wednesday’s planned demonstration claims to be in response to alleged discriminatory actions of the police in Punjab.

    The Indian High Commission in London has been working to counter disinformation circulating around developments in Punjab, related to enforcement action against the separatist group ‘Waris Punjab De’.

    “Let me assure all our friends here in the UK, especially brothers and sisters with relatives in Punjab, that there is no truth to the sensationalist lies being circulated on social media,” Indian High Commissioner Vikram Doraiswami said in a video posted on Twitter.

    “The situation in your ancestral homeland is not what is being reported. The elected chief minister of the state and the local police authorities have put out detailed information, including interviews on television, please watch these. Do not believe the small handful of people putting out fiction and disinformation,” he said.

    In an update on the enforcement action since March 18, Doraiswami said that the Punjab Police launched an operation against elements of ‘Waris Punjab De’ against whom criminal cases have been recorded, in particular against Amritpal Singh, the chief of this organisation. He added that the constitutional rights to a legal defence for all those arrested will be protected and reiterated that all communication services, including mobile telephone networks and internet, are up and running in the state.

    British Sikh MPs, Labour’s Tanmanjeet Singh and Preet Kaur Gill, were among those to express concern for their UK constituents with relatives in Punjab.

    “Monitoring developments surrounding the Punjab. So many of my constituents are concerned for their loved ones given an internet blackout. Ministers should engage with Indian authorities so UK families who can’t reach their relatives regain contact as soon as possible,” Gill tweeted on Sunday.

    On being alerted to the violent protest at the High Commission, she added: “No one should resort to such attacks. This is unacceptable.”

    An attempted pull down by the extremists of the Indian tricolour that flies at the Indian High Commission was quashed by an official and has been followed up by an additional larger Tiranga on the main facade.

    Several diaspora groups gathered for a “We Stand By High Commission of India” festive demonstration outside India House in London on Tuesday as a show of solidarity following vandalism.

    The Metropolitan Police said its “enquiries continue” and one person arrested on suspicion of violent disorder has since been bailed to appear in court in mid-June.

  • Delhi riots accused objects in HC to intervention by media association in plea against leak

    Delhi riots accused objects in HC to intervention by media association in plea against leak

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Delhi riots accused Asif Iqbal Tanha on Tuesday objected to the “intervention” by a news broadcasters’ association in his plea before the Delhi High Court against the “leak” of his alleged “disclosure statement” in the case pertaining to the larger conspiracy behind the 2020 violence.

    Counsel for News Broadcasters & Digital Association (NBDA) said the petition concerns a prayer for registration of FIR against journalists which would have ramifications and, being a well-recognised body, it wanted to assist the court in the matter by filing an intervention application.

    Following the application, Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani had earlier suggested his recusal from the matter on account of his “past association” with the body.

    Senior advocate Siddharth Aggarwal, appearing for the petitioner, alleged that the association, which was “not interested” in the issue of broadcast of the alleged disclosure statement when a complaint was made to it, has now filed the intervention application to ensure that the eventuality of the judge’s recusal “must come true”.

    He asserted there can be no “intervention” by a third person in a criminal matter and urged the court to consider the fact that the application was filed only when the petition, which was filed in 2020, travelled through six judges to reach before this court for adjudication.

    “Notice is not for asking in criminal matters… this is not a PIL. I am espousing a personal cause. This is my grievance,” Aggarwal argued.

    Counsel for NBDA as well as another media organisation, which is seeking a hearing in the case, said their applications were not for recusal of the judge but only intervention.

    The counsel for the petitioner also said he was not seeking the recusal of the judge on account of any apprehension of bias.

    Justice Bhambhani then said although “recusal should not come so easy”, he “has to have some comfort to decide the matter” and there should be no perception of bias.

    “Recusal should not come so easy but there are higher considerations than deciding than A versus B… It is not actual bias but the perception of bias. Even deciding the application, I have to have the comfort level. I never get into a matter where I myself am not comfortable with my independence,” said Justice Bhambhani.

    Aggarwal said instances where applications are filed with the “knowledge” about a judge’s “predisposition” in relation to not hearing certain matters should be dealt with an “iron hand”.

    Additional Solicitor General Sanjay Jain, who appeared for Delhi Police, said the present case was not a “criminal matter as such” and the media organisations have a legitimate interest in its outcome.

    He said the issue of recusal pertained to the judge’s “conscience” and “nobody has to persuade” him on that issue as there was no application for recusal from any party.

    “There is a party your lordship has represented earlier (as a lawyer)… This (recusal) is your lordship’s own judgement,” Jain said.

    Senior counsel for Tanha has earlier argued that the application for intervention was an “attempt to overreach the institution” after Justice Bhambhani suggested sending the plea to another judge on account of his “past association” with NBDA.

    The senior counsel had then said that he would assist the court on the law of recusal, adding “This is the dirty tricks department at its worst and if we do not stand up to this, I think we are making it far too easy for people to do this exercise”.

    Tanha had moved the high court in 2020 against certain media houses disseminating his alleged admission of his guilt before filing of cognisance was taken by the trial court.

    In his petition, Tanha has said he was aggrieved by various publications reporting that he has confessed to orchestrating the Delhi riots and alleged that he was coerced to sign certain papers in the effective custody of the police.

    He has contended that the action of two media houses in placing contents from charge sheet in the media violated the programme code.

    Tanha, who was arrested in May 2020, was released from jail in June 2021 after the high court granted him bail in the riots case on larger conspiracy.

    In its status report filed the case, the police said that while the inquiry could not establish how the details of the investigation were shared with the media, no prejudice was caused to Tanha in his exercise of the right to a free and fair trial.

    Tanha’s counsel has earlier argued before the high court that the internal inquiry conducted by the police into the leak was an “eyewash”.

    The matter would be heard next on April 12.

  • Ukraine cheers rollover of grain deal, but Russia objects again

    Ukraine cheers rollover of grain deal, but Russia objects again

    [ad_1]

    russia ukraine grain deal 53550

    A deal allowing Ukrainian grain exports to pass through the blockaded Black Sea has been extended for 120 days, Ukraine announced Saturday, but Russia again griped that it would only assent to a full rollover if its own exports of food and fertilizer are freed up.

    Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov thanked “all our partners for sticking to the agreements” in a tweet Saturday afternoon. “Due our joint efforts, 25M tons of Ukrainian grain” have been “delivered to world markets,” he said.

    The announcement comes after a week of wrangling after Russia said Monday that it had agreed to extend the Black Sea grain initiative but only for 60 days. Moscow again dug its heels in on Saturday, however, despite objections from Kyiv and reminders from the United Nations and Turkey that the original agreement foresees a minimum 120-day extension.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, visited Crimea on Saturday on an unannounced trip to mark the ninth anniversary of Russia’s annexation of the peninsula from Ukraine. Putin was greeted by the Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, and taken to see a new children’s center, Reuters reported.

    The grain deal — described by aid groups as a lifeline for food insecure countries — was due to expire on Saturday. 

    Initially brokered by the U.N. and Turkey last July after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 fueled a global food crisis, the pact was extended in November for 120 days. 

    Russia will only consider further extending the deal if “tangible progress” is achieved in implementing its three-year deal with the U.N. to facilitate its own exports of food and fertilizer, according to a letter posted on Twitter Saturday by its mission to the U.N. in New York.

    U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres is due to attend an EU summit in Brussels next week to seek ways to unblock the Russian food and fertilizer shipments, which have been blocked by sanctions targeting Russian oligarchs and the state agricultural bank. The Kremlin argues that these these are to blame for food insecurity in the Global South.

    Ukraine and Russia produce a massive chunk of the world’s grain and fertilizer, together supplying some 28 percent of globally traded wheat and 75 percent of sunflower oil during peacetime.

    The International Rescue Committee (IRC) has called on the U.N. to broker a renewal of the deal for a full 12 months, warning that this is necessary to “to help stave off hunger in the most food insecure countries.” 

    The number of people facing food insecurity rose from 282 million at the end of 2021 to a record 345 million last year, according to the United Nations World Food Program (WFP). Africa is one of the hardest-hit regions, with eastern African countries like Somalia and Ethiopia in particular facing extreme hunger.

    “Shipments of grain to countries most in need, including Somalia, hinge on the critical renewal of the Black Sea Grain Initiative,” the IRC said, adding that Somalia receives over 90 percent of its grain from Ukraine.

    This story has been updated.

    Govt demands apology from Rahul over remarks in UK; Congress objects

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal on Monday demanded an apology from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on his statement in the UK.

    Goyal said that his statement has brought disrepute to the country and Rahul Gandhi should apologise.

    He said, “A prominent Opposition leader goes abroad and attacks Indian democracy. He has levelled allegations against the press, judiciary and institutions. He has insulted the people of India and the Parliament. There is freedom of speech in India and MPs can speak in Parliament. Rahul Gandhi should apologise in Parliament.”

    The opposition, especially the Congress, objected to it and raised slogans. Leader of the opposition Mallikarjun Kharge condemned the statement of Goyal amid sloganeering from treasury benches. The House was adjourned till 2 p.m.

    Kharge said Rahul is not a member of this House and Prime Minister himself has insulted the country in China.

    Addressing the MBA students at the Cambridge Judge Business School on the topic of ‘Learning to Listen in the 21st Century’, Rahul Gandhi said that the opposition parties are under ‘constant pressure’ as numerous cases have been slapped on them by the BJP government.

    “Indian democracy is under attack. The institutional framework which is required for a democracy — Parliament, free press, the judiciary, just the idea of mobilisation — are all getting constrained. We are facing an attack on the basic structure of democracy,” Rahul Gandhi said.

  • U.S. ends search for objects shot down over Alaska, Lake Huron

    U.S. ends search for objects shot down over Alaska, Lake Huron

    [ad_1]

    The announcement capped three dramatic weeks that saw U.S. fighter jets shoot down four airborne objects — a large Chinese balloon on Feb. 4 and three much smaller objects about a week later over Canada, Alaska and Lake Huron. They are the first known peacetime shootdowns of unauthorized objects in U.S. airspace.

    U.S. officials said Friday that efforts to recover the remnants of the large balloon that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina had ended, and analysis of the debris so far reinforces conclusions that it was a Chinese spy balloon.

    Officials said the U.S. believes that Navy, Coast Guard and FBI personnel collected all of the balloon debris off the ocean floor, which included key equipment from the payload that could reveal what information it was able to monitor and collect. White House national security spokesman John Kirby said a significant amount of debris was recovered and it included “electronics and optics” from the payload. He declined to say what, if anything, the U.S. has learned from the wreckage so far.

    U.S. Northern Command said in a statement that the recovery operations ended Thursday and the final pieces are on their way to the FBI lab in Virginia for analysis. It said air and maritime restrictions off South Carolina have been lifted.

  • Biden says latest objects shot down over US not linked to China spy program

    Biden says latest objects shot down over US not linked to China spy program

    [ad_1]

    Joe Biden has broken his silence on unknown aerial objects shot down over North America during the past week, assessing that they were “most likely” operated by private companies or research institutions rather than China.

    The US president’s tentative conclusion is likely to fuel criticism that his orders to take down the objects were an overreaction amid political pressure over the discovery of a suspected Chinese spy balloon that transited much of the country.

    Biden spoke for eight minutes at the Eisenhower executive office building on Thursday after Republicans and some Democrats expressed concerns that his unwillingness to comment on the issue could allow conspiracy theories to thrive.

    “We don’t yet know exactly what these three objects were but nothing right now suggests they were related to China’s spy balloon program or that they were surveillance vehicles from any other country,” the president told reporters, against a backdrop of flags and the presidential seal.

    “The intelligence community’s current assessment is that these three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying weather or conducting other scientific research.”

    Earlier this month an American fighter jet downed a balloon sent by the Chinese government off the coast of South Carolina. The incident prompted accusations from Republicans that Biden had been too slow to react and should have shot it down before it passed over the continental US.

    When three additional unidentified objects were spotted on Friday off the coast of Alaska, on Saturday over Canada and on Sunday over Lake Huron, Biden was quick to order that they be taken down.

    But on Thursday, with efforts to relocate the wreckage hampered by weather, he acknowledged that many objects are sent up by countries, companies and research organisations for reasons that are “not nefarious”, including legitimate scientific research.

    “I want to be clear,” Biden said. “We don’t have any evidence that there has been a sudden increase in the number of objects in the sky. We’re now just seeing more of them partially because the steps we’ve taken to increase our radars.”

    The president, who has directed national security adviser Jake Sullivan to lead an “interagency team” to review procedures, said the US is developing “sharper rules” to track, monitor and potentially shoot down unknown aerial objects.

    These rules would help “distinguish between those that are likely to pose safety and security risks that necessitate action and those that do not,” he added. “Make no mistake, if any object presents a threat to the safety and security of the American people I will take it down.”

    The downing of the Chinese surveillance craft was the first known peacetime shoot down of an unauthorised object in US airspace and continues to send out diplomatic ripples.

    The White House national security council has said the balloon had the ability to collect communications and that China has previously flown similar surveillance balloons over dozens of countries on multiple continents, including some of the US’s closest allies.

    The US blacklisted six Chinese entities it said were linked to Beijing’s aerospace programmes.

    China has denied that the balloon was a surveillance airship. Wang Wenbin, a foreign ministry spokesperson, told a press conference that the balloon’s entry into US airspace was “an unintended, unexpected and isolated event”, adding: “China has repeatedly communicated this to the US side, yet the US overreacted by abusing the use of force and escalating the situation.

    “It also used the incident as an excuse to impose illegal sanctions over Chinese companies and institutions. China is strongly opposed to this and will take countermeasures in accordance with law against relevant US entities that have undermined China’s sovereignty and security to firmly safeguard China’s sovereignty and legitimate rights and interests.”

    US relations with China have been tested over the last year due to tensions over cybersecurity, competition in the technology sector, the looming threat to Taiwan and China’s failure to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

    On Thursday Biden criticised China’s surveillance programme, saying the “violation of our sovereignty is unacceptable,” but said he looks to maintain open lines of communication with Beijing. “We’re not looking for a new cold war.”

    Secretary of state Antony Blinken postponed his first planned trip to China as the balloon was flying over the US and a new meeting with his Chinese counterpart has yet to be scheduled.

    “I expect to be speaking with President Xi and I hope we can get to the bottom of this,” Biden said. “But I make no apologies for taking down that balloon.”

    Senators from both sides of the aisle have complained about being denied detailed information. John Cornyn, a Republican senator for Texas, told the Politico website that the White House was “creating a bigger problem for themselves by the lack of transparency because people’s minds, their imaginations begin to run wild. I think they’re behind the curve on this and they really need to be more transparent.”

    On Monday, just to be sure, the White House felt compelled to announce that there was no indication of “aliens or extraterrestrial activity”.

  • Objects shot down aren’t from China, likely ‘benign,’ Kirby says

    Objects shot down aren’t from China, likely ‘benign,’ Kirby says

    [ad_1]

    American forces decided to target the objects because of concerns about potential surveillance, Kirby said on MSNBC later on Tuesday, so they “acted out of an abundance of caution.” No other objects are being tracked, he said.

    It’s still unclear what the objects were, and administration officials have provided few details. Senators received another classified briefing from the administration on the incursions on Tuesday, but they haven’t shed much light.

    As for the Chinese spy balloon that was shot down on Feb. 4, officials expect to learn more about its payload in the coming days as crews continue to retrieve materials, Kirby said. On Monday, U.S. Northern Command said it had recovered critical electronics including key sensors presumably used for intelligence gathering.

    When the balloon was shot down over the Atlantic, some materials floated while the payload, which carries critical information about the airship, sank to the “ocean bottom,” FBI officials told reporters last week. Crews have since successfully recovered parts of the balloon.

    But two of the objects shot down over the weekend were downed over the Yukon and Lake Huron, locations that may make recovery impossible, officials said.

    “We are working very hard to locate them, but there is no guarantee that we will,” said Sean McGillis, Royal Canadian Mounted Police acting deputy commissioner. “The terrain in Yukon is rather treacherous right now… the same could be said about what’s taking place in Lake Huron.”

  • White House on unidentified objects: ‘No indication of aliens’

    White House on unidentified objects: ‘No indication of aliens’

    [ad_1]

    image

    The U.S. military downed an unidentified flying object above Lake Huron on Sunday, the fourth targeted by American forces in roughly a week. Defense officials on Sunday night declined to identify what the three objects shot down over the weekend might be, spurring questions about the potential threats of the objects and why there’s been a string of detections since the Chinese spy balloon.

    The White House’s head-on approach to the alien question comes after Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, declined to rule out aliens or extraterrestrial involvement on Sunday. A Defense Department official, following the general’s remarks Sunday night, said there is “no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity with these recent takedowns.”

    “I love E.T. the movie, but I’m just going to leave it there,” Jean-Pierre quipped.

    “The truth is out there, Karine,” a reporter in the back of the room shot back.

    National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby took the podium next, thanking Jean-Pierre for clearing the air and making his “job easy.”

    Kirby offered more detail about the three objects on Monday, telling reporters they were unmanned and that no threats or communication signals were detected. President Joe Biden has been updated on the recent operations, he said, noting the objects were downed due to air traffic risks, not surveillance threats.

    “We have no specific reason to suspect that they were conducting surveillance of any kind,” he said, while adding that it couldn’t be ruled out.

    Kirby said one of the reasons he believes the U.S. is identifying more of these objects is because “we are now looking for them,” noting that U.S. radar systems have been adjusted to better monitor for smaller, slower-moving objects.

    “It’s difficult for me to say exactly what you can expect going forward. One of the reason that we think we’re seeing more is because we’re looking for more. As you heard General VanHerck mention last night, they have modified the filters and the gains — as we call it — of the radar capabilities to look more discreetly at high altitude, small radar cross section, and low speed objects,” Kirby said.

    “I don’t think the American people need to worry about aliens with respect to these craft,” he said.

    Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, in an appearance before the Brookings Institution on Monday, said the Chinese spy balloon was a wake-up call for the military.

    “It was something that got all of our attention,” he said, referring to the spy balloon. Since then, the military is scrutinizing the air space and “adjusting … the radar sensitivities, which means we’re seeing more things than we would normally see.”

    “But we don’t fully appreciate and understand what we’re seeing,” he added.

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Congress would be getting a classified briefing about the objects in the coming days.

    “I can assure the American people of this: If any of these objects present any danger to the American people or American interest, they will be dealt with appropriately as the last ones have been,” Schumer said on ABC’s The View. “I fully support the Senate, bipartisan, investigating why we didn’t know sooner. It’s a good question that we need an answer to.”

    The chamber will hold an all-senators classified briefing Tuesday at 10 a.m. on the unidentified objects that were shot down over the weekend, according to a Schumer spokesperson.

    The Biden administration, meanwhile, is also forming an interagency group focused on addressing the problem of unidentified aerial objects in U.S. airspace and seeing what improvements need to be made, Kirby announced on Monday.

    “The president, through his national security adviser, has today directed an interagency team to study the broader policy implications for detection, analysis, and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks,” he said. “Every element of the government will redouble their efforts to understand and mitigate these events.”

    When asked whether daily shootdowns of flying objects would become the norm, Kirby declined to speculate.

    “I think we can all get our heads around the fact that there are sometimes things floating at high altitudes for various purposes — as I said, scientific research, weather, weather balloons, all manner of innocuous craft can be aloft at high altitudes,” he said. “I don’t think that that’s necessarily unusual here. It’s difficult for me to say exactly what you can expect going forward.”

    Aero India 2023: Flying objects, drones banned in Bengaluru

    [ad_1]

    Bengaluru: The Bengaluru Police on Monday issued prohibitory orders on all flying objects during the Aero India 2023 over security reasons in the city.

    Flying of all sub-conventional aerial platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles, robotic process automation, para gliders, micro lights, small aircraft, drones, quad-helicopters, are prohibited against the backdrop of the event, an official release stated.

    “I consider that it is absolutely necessary to ban the flying of all sub-conventional aerial platforms as these can carry explosives and be used as weapons or surveillance objects to threaten, damage, injure and kill people and destroy properties in the premises where event is hosted and in the limits of Bengaluru city,” Police Commissioner Pratap Reddy stated.

    The prohibition will be in place between February 13 and 17.
