BJP disruption hurts people: Tanvir Sadiq
Srinagar, Sep 21:National Conference (NC) chief spokesman and MLA Tanvir Sadiq on Monday criticised BJP legislators for disrupting proceedings of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, saying their conduct would hurt interests of the people who elected them to the House. Talking to media persons outside the Assembly complex, Sadiq said the BJP legislators had several questions listed for the day on issues including power, drinking water, and roads, but they chose not to participate in the question-answer proceedings. If they wanted answers, they would have got them. The government was ready. Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and other ministers were present in the House, he said. Sadiq said the BJP had 11 questions listed, concerning issues directly affecting their respective constituencies. I feel sorry for the electorate who voted for you if you are not even answering the questions of the people who sent you from your constituency, he said. Sadiq alleged that the disruption was aimed at drawing media attention rather than raising public issues on the floor of the House. Disrupting the House and showing your face in the media, I think that's wrong. That's not fair to the people, he said. The NC MLA said the Assembly provided an opportunity to raise issues concerning employees and other public matters and urged opposition members to utilise the available sitting days to seek answers from the government. It is a seven-day Assembly session. Ask people's questions and convince the government to give the answers, he said. Sadiq also said that questions from National Conference, Congress, and independent members were taken up during the proceedings while several issues concerning BJP-held areas were also raised as well. Who suffered the most loss? The BJP's areas. Do you want them to suffer? That's wrong, he asked. On the reported evacuation notice in Srinagar where around 20 business establishments were located, Sadiq said the move needs a dialogue, particularly in view of concerns over possible unemployment and investments made by traders. My personal opinion is that it is wrong. Whether it is a shop or a building, it is wrong to evacuate someone, he said. Sadiq said the matter was also before the court and called for stakeholders to sit together and find a solution. Many people have invested their lives and savings. We are supporting them. The government is looking into the matter, he said.

Nagaon bypoll: People to vote against communal politics, says Assam Cong chief Gaurav Gogoi
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 21 (IANS) Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi on Monday stepped up his attack on the BJP over alleged communal politics and the use of religion in electoral campaigning, urging voters to reject what he described as divisive politics in the upcoming Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election. Addressing an election meeting in Dhing locality in Nagaon, Gogoi said the electorate would send a message against communal politics, linking his remarks to Batadrava, the birthplace of Vaishnavite saint and social reformer Srimanta Sankardeva. This time, people will vote against communal politics, Gogoi said, adding that the message would come from Batadrava. The Congress leader also targeted the BJP over its references to Hinduism, alleging financial irregularities involving funds meant for the Ram Temple and questioning the partys decision to give ministerial positions to individuals facing allegations of cow theft. People from the party that talks about Hinduism steal money meant for the Ram Temple, give tickets to people facing allegations of cow theft and make them ministers, Gogoi said. His remarks came as the Congress intensified its campaign for party candidate Sibamoni Bora, a former MLA from Batadrava. The party had announced Boras candidature earlier this month for the by-election scheduled on October 6, with counting of votes set for October 9. Gogoi has previously described the Nagaon contest as a direct political battle with the BJP and alleged that the BJP and AIUDF share an understanding ahead of the bypoll. The two parties have fielded Devasish Sharma and Badruddin Ajmal, respectively. Congress leaders Rakibul Hussain and Wazed Ali Choudhury also attended the campaign meeting and sought support for Bora. The Nagaon Lok Sabha seat fell vacant after former Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi left the party and joined the BJP before winning the Dispur Assembly constituency. The bypoll has turned into a multi-cornered contest, with 25 candidates filing nominations, including nominees from the BJP, Congress, AIUDF and Trinamool Congress.

Local poll results show peoples confidence in BJP: Madan Rathore
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 21 (IANS) BJP Rajasthan president Madan Rathore on Monday said the local body election results reflected people's support and confidence in the BJP, crediting the partys performance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's development agenda and the work of the Bhajanlal Sharma government in Rajasthan. Addressing a press conference after the results, Rathore thanked voters across the state and said the BJP had received widespread support in municipal corporations, municipal councils and municipalities. He said the mandate demonstrated public confidence in the partys leadership and its development-oriented approach. Rathore also said the state governments One State, One Election initiative had reduced election-related expenditure and would provide the government with more time to focus on development and public welfare. He noted that of the 10 municipal corporations in Rajasthan, results for seven were declared on Monday, with the BJP securing a majority in six. According to Rathore, BJP mayors were elected in Alwar, Bhilwara, Ajmer, Pali, Udaipur and Bharatpur. He said the people had endorsed the partys Sankalp Patra (manifesto) and that newly elected BJP representatives would work to fulfil its promises. Rathore added that BJP workers would approach voters with the same commitment during the upcoming Panchayat elections. He attributed the BJPs electoral performance to public faith in Prime Minister Modis development agenda and the work undertaken by the Bhajanlal Sharma government in Rajasthan. Rathore highlighted central government initiatives related to housing, sanitation, and infrastructure, including railway modernisation, doubling and electrification, road development, irrigation projects, and the construction and strengthening of dams. He also cited measures to support farmers, including increases in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi. Rathore said the Make in India initiative had promoted industrial development and investment, while efforts to attract investors aimed to create employment opportunities. In Rajasthan, he highlighted the state governments work on the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP), the Yamuna Water Agreement, water supply arrangements from Punjab and efforts to ensure the availability of Narmada water. He said the state government was providing additional financial assistance to farmers and focusing on expanding crop insurance benefits. Rathore also pointed to the Rising Rajasthan initiative, saying it had helped promote investment and industries in the state and contributed to employment generation. He said the government was undertaking recruitment drives to provide employment opportunities to young people. He further said the government had taken strict action against criminals and was working to strengthen healthcare, roads, electricity and other basic amenities. Responding to a question about Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra, Rathore launched a personal political attack on his Congress counterpart. Dotasra is a big man; I cannot match him. He can secure benefits for his family, get jobs for family members and avail benefits despite falling under the OBC creamy layer category; I cannot compete with that, Rathore said. He also referred to the Congresss performance in the civic elections, saying the partys candidate in Sadri in Pali received zero votes. In contrast, the official Congress candidate in Pali received only three votes. How can I compare myself to him? We believe in the organisation, he said.
Fight against drugs must be peoples movement: Haryana CM
Digital Desk | Fazilka, Sep 21 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday said Punjab was once known for its prosperity, vibrancy and hardworking youth. Still, today the drug menace has emerged as a major challenge to the future of its young generation. He stressed that turning the campaign against drugs into a peoples movement is the need of the hour. Addressing a gathering after joining the fourth phase of the Nasha Mukti Yatra in Fazilka, Saini said the fight against drugs is not a political party's fight, but a fight to save the youth and future generations. He said the Yatra, which began on September 18, will continue till September 30 and cover around 4,000 km across all 117 Assembly constituencies of Punjab. Saini added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is fighting the drug menace with determination and every section of society should ensure its participation in this campaign. Criticising the Aam Aadmi Party government, he said it had promised to eradicate drugs within six months. Still, the problem remains serious even as the government enters the final phase of its tenure. He also said the government had not fulfilled its promises to employ youth. Saini recalled that when industrialists from Punjab met him at his residence in Chandigarh and expressed their desire to set up industries in Haryana, he advised them to establish industries in Punjab itself to provide employment opportunities to the youth there. He claimed that the people of Punjab had made up their minds for change and that the coming time would belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Highlighting Haryanas governance, Saini said the state government has provided jobs to youth through a transparent system. He added that he meets many people at his residence daily and works to resolve their problems. He said the Haryana Government has fulfilled 70 of the 217 commitments made before the elections and has advanced several schemes for the welfare of women, farmers, people with low incomes and youth. He emphasised that the fight against drugs cannot be confined to law enforcement alone. Treatment, rehabilitation, sports and employment opportunities must also be taken forward simultaneously. He said Haryana is providing free treatment facilities at de-addiction centres, while special emphasis is being laid on connecting youth with sports and other positive activities.

Knoxville (US), Sep 21 (The Conversation) Despite having an overactive immune system, people with lupus may still struggle to fight bacterial infections.

To understand why an overactive immune system can still fail to control bacterial infection, we focused on neutrophils, which are white blood cells that are among the first to respond when bacteria enter the body. Neutrophils can release webs of DNA and antimicrobial proteins called neutrophil extracellular traps, or NETs, that can trap bacteria, limiting

A new job an achievement but serving the people is real responsibility: Ram Mohan Naidu
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 19 (IANS) Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said on Saturday that getting a job is an achievement but serving the people is the real responsibility. He said that as part of the nationwide Rozgar Mela under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it was immensely heartening to distribute appointment letters to 200 youth in Visakhapatnam. On this occasion, as over 51,000 youth across the country step into new jobs, my heartfelt congratulations to each one of them. May this job bring new confidence to your life. A new opportunity to serve society. Through this platform, I urge you to keep learning continuously, enhance your skills, and move forward to provide even better services to the people, the minister posted on X. Naidu further said: Heartiest congratulations to all 51,000+ youth joining government service across the country. May this new job become a new opportunity to serve society and the nation with dedication. A new job. A new responsibility. A new chapter in nation-building. Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri said that he was privileged to participate in the 20th edition of Rozgar Mela with the youth of Sri Amritsar Sahib. As we travel through Amrit Kaal towards Viksit Bharat, our youth are not merely witnessing this journey; they are powering it with their ideas, aspirations and determination, and are shaping the future. Young recruits who received their letters today are entering public service at a transformative moment when technology reshapes governance, AI changes workplaces, and digital platforms bring citizens closer to the State, Puri posted on X. Yet technology can never replace integrity and empathy. As PM Modis message of Nagrik Devo Bhava reminds us, the person must always matter more than the file. This is the mantra with which young people embarking upon their careers must serve the country and citizens, he mentioned. Indias growing startup ecosystem, manufacturing, digital services, electronics, emerging technologies and energy sector are creating new opportunities. Free Trade Agreements are opening new markets, partnerships, and career opportunities for our talented youth. With landmark reforms, legislative changes and new initiatives, Indias energy sector is also playing an important role in this journey towards energy security and green transition. While we are strengthening existing energy infrastructure, India is also opening new energy frontiers like unlocking offshore potential through the Samudra Manthan Mission and turning waste into clean energy and livelihoods through GOBARdhan scheme, Puri highlighted.

Speaking to ANI, Singh said India's priority remains the country's people and that the government will take steps necessary to ensure their convenience, as well as the strength and stability of the country. The priority of the country of India and our government is our people, our people of 140 crores. We will take every step which is necessary for the convenience of our people. We will take every strong step for the strength and stability of our country, our population of 140 crores. We have our own independent foreign policy. We will not follow any country based on what our country is doing. We will do whatever is good for our country, Singh said. The remarks came after Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 into law on Friday, expanding statutory sanctions, tariffs and prohibitions targeting Russia and extending existing sanctions on Iran. The legislation gives the US President authority to impose tariffs of up to 100 per cent on goods from countries that meet specified criteria linked to purchases of Russian crude oil or natural gas and sanctions evasion. However, the measure does not automatically impose a 100 per cent tariff on any specific country. Addressing the issue of tariffs, Singh said India considers the duties being imposed to be unfair and maintained that New Delhi is not acting under pressure from any country. We always say that these tariffs that are being imposed are very unfair. And we are not under the pressure of any country. Energy is a very primary concern of ours. And wherever we find commercially viable, economical energy sources for our country and our people, we will take energy from there, Singh said. The new US legislation also targets Russian officials, financial institutions, defence-related networks and the country's so-called shadow fleet of vessels used to transport energy while circumventing Western restrictions. It further extends the Iran Sanctions Act for five years. The bill passed the US Senate by 86-11 in August before clearing the House of Representatives by 262-159 earlier this week. It was named after the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who was a leading supporter of the legislation. A key provision of the law allows the US President to impose targeted duties of up to 100 per cent on the five largest importers of Russian crude oil or natural gas, as well as countries facilitating Russian oil sanctions evasion. The legislation has particular significance for India and China, which remain among the major buyers of Russian crude. It creates a statutory pathway for potential tariffs on imports from countries that continue specified purchases of Russian energy. The law also provides the President with waiver authority under specified conditions, including certification to Congress that a waiver is in the national interest. Supporters of the measure have said it is intended to increase economic pressure on Moscow and reduce revenues supporting Russia's war in Ukraine. The legislation has also drawn criticism from some US lawmakers over the broad tariff powers granted to the President and concerns about their potential economic consequences. (ANI)

IIT Bombay student's death: FIR registered against people linked to exam incident
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 19 (IANS) Following the death of a second-year student of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against all persons who are related to the incident when he was caught using a mobile phone during an examination, officials said on Saturday. The student was found dead in the IIT Powai campus on Friday evening. This reportedly happened after he was caught using a mobile phone during an examination by the authorities. His death a few hours after that incident triggered protests by students on the institute's Powai campus. The incident marks the third reported suicide at the IIT Powai campus in the past six months. Earlier in the day, an Accident Death Report (ADR) was filed in connection with the incident. The deceased student was identified as Sahil Wakode, a resident of Maharashtra's Yavatmal who was pursuing his second year in the Department of Energy Science and Engineering. Officials said that his family was informed and has arrived in Mumbai. Their statements are being recorded. Additionally, police are recording the statements of the students at the campus. The body of the deceased has been sent for post-mortem. According to the institute, Wakode had uploaded an examination question paper to ChatGPT in an attempt to obtain answers while the test was underway. IIT Bombay said no disciplinary proceedings had been initiated against him following the incident. The matter was discussed with the student by the examination instructor and the Head of the Department. They counselled him and assured him that the incident would not have an adverse impact on his academic career, the institute said. After the discussion, Wakode returned to his hostel room. He was subsequently found dead in the room later that evening. In a statement, IIT Bombay expressed grief over the student's death and said it was providing support to those affected by the incident. The Institute is extending support to the student's friends, classmates, faculty members, and others affected by this tragic incident, it said, adding that the circumstances surrounding the death were being examined by the appropriate authorities. Following the incident, a group of students gathered on the campus and launched a protest, alleging that the administration had not disclosed all details surrounding the circumstances of the student's death. Some protesters claimed that Wakode had been threatened with a one-year suspension over the examination incident. They alleged that such a suspension could have required him to leave the hostel and stay outside the campus. Students further claimed that disciplinary action of this nature could potentially have delayed completion of his engineering course beyond the standard four-year duration. Protesting students alleged that the fear and pressure associated with possible disciplinary consequences may have played a role in the student's death. However, these allegations have not been independently verified. Police personnel were deployed in large numbers on the campus following the protest. An investigation is underway, and further details are awaited.
