Indian American lawmaker hits back after Trump calls him lightweight, total dope
Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 1 (IANS) Indian American Congressman Ro Khanna has hit back at President Donald Trump, who attacked him repeatedly on Friday over his criticism of the cost of the war with Iran, calling him a lightweight at the White House and a total dope at a campaign rally in Florida. Speaking in the Oval Office on October 30, Trump said: I watch this guy, Ro Khanna, whos a lightweight. And he was saying that, President Trump is spending a lot of money. Well, I spent a lot of money in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon, which weve done. But any money weve spent in Iran, weve more than made up for with what we did in Venezuela, taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, many, many times, Trump said. Later in the day, at a midterm rally in Daytona, Florida, Trump returned to the Democratic lawmaker from California. I watch this total dope, Ro Khanna, Trump said, according to HuffPost. Fox puts him on all the time. You know, Fox is giving Democrats more time than they give Republicans. Im working my ass off, Im doing rallies -- and I come back and I watch the opponent of the person I did the rally for. Im not happy. But I watched Ro Khanna, of course, on Fox this morning. I cant watch him, Trump said. Trump also called Khanna a radical left loser over his calls for impeachment. Khanna responded on X. Thanks for the 4 shoutouts today, Mr. President. Ill be on Fox this Sunday to share more of my thoughts on your failure in Iran and how its raised gas and food prices, he wrote. If you get a break from bragging about oil company profits and playing golf, tune in! he added. He did not say which Fox programme he would appear on. In an earlier post, Khanna wrote: Trump said Bush didnt seem smart for spending trillions in the Middle East. Now he calls me a lightweight for opposing $47B in Iran. Spend that money on jobs and childcare for Americans. His voters wanted him to stay out of war. He lied. Result: Blue Tsunami Tuesday, Khanna wrote. The $47 billion figure is Khannas. HuffPost described it as the estimated cost of the war. Khanna had appeared on Fox & Friends hours before Trumps remarks, criticising the Iran war and raising possible impeachment proceedings. Khanna, who represents Californias 17th Congressional District in Silicon Valley, is among the most prominent Indian American members of Congress and a frequent critic of the administrations foreign policy. Americans vote in the midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3.

Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 1 (IANS) External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said India is in discussions with Russia, Ukraine and Europe on three aspects of the conflict, protecting civilian shipping and seafarers, restoring grain exports from the Black Sea and a non-attack on energy, and is coordinating the effort with the United States. Speaking to a group of Indian reporters in Atlanta on Saturday at the end of the G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting, EAM Jaishankar set out the three elements. Weve had discussions with Russia. Weve had discussions with Europe. Weve had discussions with Ukraine also about three aspects of the current conflict: one, not to attack civilian shipping and seafarers; the second, to find a way by which the grain exports from both Russia and Ukraine... find a way of restoring that flow because that flow has cut down very sharply in the Black Sea, and the third is with regard to energy, he said. He described the energy element as the hardest. Non-attack on energy is probably the most complicated piece because it means different things to the different players, EAM Jaishankar said. Infrastructure itself to some would mean a refinery. To some it would mean grids. There would be issues relating to ships carrying fuel. So we have been trying to see if we can get them together to address these issues, he said. He said the grain issue was a big concern for the global south because much of the purchasers of that grain are basically global south countries. EAM Jaishankar outlined Indias contacts with both sides at the highest levels. Prime Minister himself had, you know, discussion with(Russian) President (Vladimir) Putin in Delhi, and before that in Bishkek. I had gone earlier to Moscow, and we continue even today. I discussed it with (Russian Foreign Minister) Mr. Lavrov, and then in between, I had gone to Kyiv. And we are in touch with the Ukrainian side, he said. India was also keeping Washington in the loop, he said. We have also been coordinating this with the Americans, because they have their own peace mediation initiative. So Secretary Rubio knows roughly what is going on here, EAM Jaishankar said. He declined to go into specifics. Beyond that, in terms of details, state of play, etc., I dont think Id be in a position to share that publicly, he said. He said that at the G20 the overall message from India was that there are no military solutions to the two major conflicts with global ramifications, and that we have to find a diplomatic pathway, and of course we have been active ourselves in that regard. On the sidelines of the G20 meeting, EAM Jaishankar met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. He said in a post on X that he Discussed the Ukraine conflict, Gulf situation and multilateral issues with Lavrov.
INDIA bloc leaders pass motion seeking impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner
New Delhi, Oct 31:The Congress-led INDIA bloc on Saturday held a mock public impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharges residence, accusing him of electoral malpractice and demanding his removal. Kharge moved a resolution seeking Gyanesh Kumars removal, alleging that he had acted against the interests of democracy. Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, other Opposition MPs, jurists, lawyers and civil society members attended the meeting, which was presided over by former Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar. Kharge listed six charges against the CEC, including conspiring to steal elections, deleting 13.2 crore voters from electoral rolls, rewriting Form 6 applications, and taking control of electoral rolls through ECINET. The Opposition also accused Gyanesh Kumar of ignoring the views of the other two Election Commissioners and working at the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar would not continue in office, claiming that the Opposition had enough evidence to ensure his removal. ANI meanwhile reports that INDIA bloc leaders passed a motion seeking the impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar during a symbolic public impeachment programme organised against him. The event was held to register the opposition blocs protest against the CEC. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, according to PTI described the INDIA blocs Mock Parliament, held at party president Mallikarjun Kharges residence in Delhi, as a dignified and constructive discussion reflecting a strong commitment to protecting Indian democracy. Following the meeting, Tharoor said the same spirit would carry forward to the blocs Maha Rally at Ramlila Maidan, where lakhs of people are expected to participate tomorrow. The meeting was organised after authorities denied permission for holding it at Ramlila Maidan. The INDIA bloc raised three key demands: restoration of names of voters allegedly removed from electoral rolls, removal of the CEC and repeal of the law granting immunity to the Chief Election Commissioner. The Opposition is also scheduled to hold a rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1 as part of its vote chori campaign against the Election Commission and the Centre.

INDIA bloc to hold Chalo Dilli march at Ramlila Maidan today
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 1 (IANS) The INDIA bloc is set to organise a large-scale Chalo Dilli march culminating at Delhis Ramlila Maidan on Sunday to protest alleged electoral irregularities, oppose the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. The opposition alliance expects a major show of strength, with opposition leaders, party workers, and student groups likely to participate in the rally. The protest comes amid allegations by opposition parties of irregularities in the voter list revision process being conducted by the Election Commission of India (ECI). Delhi Police have stepped up security arrangements across the national capital ahead of the march. Section 163 is in force across Delhi districts, and gatherings have been prohibited at key locations, including Jantar Mantar and the Election Commission office. Leaders will be allowed to reach the designated venues in their personal vehicles. Police and paramilitary personnel are also set to be deployed at Ramlila Maidan, with security arrangements tightened ahead of the opposition gathering. Ahead of the rally, Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi appealed to people travelling to Delhi to join the march and support local traders during the festive season. In a post on X on Saturday, he said, Tomorrow, lakhs of people are coming to Delhi for the Ramlila March. It is the festive season. The time of Diwali, Chhath, and Bhai Dooj has arrived. I want those lakhs of people coming to Delhi from outside to support the traders here. Protest, march, hold rallies, and along with that, do a little shopping too - it will benefit the traders. I know the rally will not harm the traders. The BJP is scared, that's why it's spreading rumors. But let's do both. Tomorrow there will be a march, there will be a rally, and lakhs of people will buy goods from the small shops of our traders, he said. Congress MP and party General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal had also appealed to people across the country to join the November 1 rally, targeting the BJP-led Centre over the alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise. In a video message posted on X on Thursday, Venugopal described the opposition mobilisation as Chalo Dilli, Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao and alleged that democracy was under attack. Thirteen crore names have been deleted from electoral rolls. There is a massive fraud happening in voter rolls in state after state, he alleged, referring to the SIR being conducted by the ECI. Venugopal also said that Rahul Gandhi was leading the opposition's fight and was fearlessly raising questions and holding those in power accountable. The INDIA bloc's rally is expected to bring together opposition leaders and supporters from different parts of the country, with the alliance seeking to highlight its concerns over electoral rolls and the functioning of the Election Commission.
