Quote of the Day by father of collectivist anarchism Mikhail Bakunin: When the people are being beaten with a stick - a blunt lesson about power, freedom, democracy and human dignity

Quote of the Day by Mikhail Bakunin: Mikhail Bakunin's insight provokes a critical reassessment of political authority. He suggested that simply renaming an object as 'the People's Stick' does not change its inherent power. This concept is particularly relevant for contemporary movements that assert they embody the voice of the populace. Issues arise when populist groups invoke 'the people' to validate their agendas. The fundamental inquiry is whether oppressive forces are transformed merely by their rebranding.

Punjab Congress slams AAP for misleading people on drugs

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 13 (IANS) Slamming the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, the main Opposition Congress on Sunday alleged that the ruling party is misleading the people on the issue of drugs, systematically persecuting weaker sections and shielding influential figures involved in serious crimes. Welcoming Rajendra Pal Gautam, Chairman of the Central Scheduled Castes Department, state party President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring thanked Rajkumar Verka and Gurpreet Singh Lucky Pakho for their struggle for the rights of marginalised communities. Warring said that under the BJP at the Centre and the AAP government in Punjab, poor Dalit families are falling victim to administrative apathy and targeted exploitation. Raising the tragic suicide of Gulzar Singh, the Congress leaders said Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has expressed concern over the incident. They noted that Gulzar Singhs only fault was speaking out to save his son from drugs and opposing the open sale of narcotics in villages. Instead of taking action against drug traffickers, the administration subjected him to relentless harassment, which ultimately drove him to suicide. Despite the Finance Minister being explicitly named in the dying declaration, no legal action or accountability has been fixed so far, leaving the victim's family running from pillar to post for justice. The Congress leadership also raised the issue of brutal police torture inflicted on Mohanjeet Singh, who was subjected to inhuman cruelty merely for showing black flags during a peaceful, democratic protest. The Congress leaders cited this as clear evidence of an authoritarian regime under AAP rule. Targeting the ruling party directly over law and order, Rajendra Gautam said AAP came to power in 2022 on promises of eradicating drugs and transforming traditional politics within months. He said during its tenure in Delhi, AAP evaded accountability for law and order under the pretext of not having full statehood. However, in Punjab, despite having full control over the police, the drug trade has spiralled out of control. Gautam questioned how drugs could spread to every village and even circulate openly inside Punjabs jails without direct political and administrative patronage.

People in Punjab want development, employment, not jokes: Haryana CM

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 13 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, saying the people there want development, employment, security for industries and solutions to their problems, not jokes, publicity and advertisements. There has never been any shortage of ability or hard work among the people of Punjab, but the policies, intentions and leadership of governments that have failed to provide the state with the right direction have pushed Punjab behind in the race for development, he said. CM Saini was addressing a public meeting in Kakrala village in Patiala. Former Union minister Preneet Kaur, Prof Malkit Singh and other dignitaries were present on the occasion. On the occasion, hundreds of people joined the BJP, and the Chief Minister welcomed them. CM Saini said that although Punjab and Haryana are two separate states, their roots, culture and heritage are one. Paying homage to this great land of Gurus, Pirs and martyrs, he said the people of Punjab are now asking why Punjab has fallen behind despite having fertile land, hardworking people and immense potential. The Chief Minister said at one time, Punjab was counted among the most prosperous states in the country. Haryana, which came into existence nearly 19 years after Punjab was formed, today has moved far ahead of Punjab in terms of economic progress. In 2025-26, Haryanas real economic growth rate is estimated at 9.5 per cent, while Punjabs growth rate is only 6.1 per cent. Thus, Haryana is progressing 3.4 percentage points faster than Punjab. Similarly, in 2026-27, Haryanas economy is estimated at approximately Rs 15.18 lakh crore, while Punjabs is estimated at approximately Rs 9.81 lakh crore. There is a difference of approximately Rs 5.38 lakh crore in the economic size of the two states. This difference is due to the right policy, clear intent and accountable leadership, said CM Saini. He said in 2023-24 Haryanas share in the countrys GDP was approximately 3.6 per cent, while Punjabs share was approximately 2.4 per cent. Haryanas per capita income was estimated at 176.8 per cent of the national average, while Punjabs was estimated at 106.7 per cent. The Chief Minister said at one time, Punjabs per capita income used to be nearly twice the national average, but the situation has changed today. He said the people of Punjab wanted an answer as to why the states economic potential is not being fully utilised. The Chief Minister said the Aam Aadmi Party government has given Punjab more publicity than work and more advertisements than results. Repeating false claims does not strengthen an economy. An economy becomes strong when industries receive security, youth get employment, traders have confidence, farmers receive remunerative prices, and the benefits of government schemes reach people directly without discrimination, he said. The CM said, It is the governments responsibility to go among the people, listen to their problems and resolve them. Jokes work in cinema halls, but among the people, the discussion is about work, development and solutions to public problems. He said the Congress had also made big promises to the people of Punjab but failed to fulfil them. The Aam Aadmi Party also made numerous promises, but they remained merely promises, and people did not get relief from their problems. The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP government in Haryana has been working to fulfil the promises made to the people. Out of the 217 promises made during the 2024 Assembly elections, 70 have already been fulfilled within 18 months of the governments tenure.

Greater Noida: Three, including woman, held for duping people with fake gold ornaments

Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Sep 12 (IANS) A Bisrakh police team in Greater Noida on Saturday busted a gang allegedly involved in cheating people of lakhs of rupees by showing them fake gold ornaments and arrested three persons, including a woman. The police have recovered Rs 1.20 lakh in cash and a gold-chain ornament allegedly linked to the cheating incident from the accused. Two fixed deposits (FDs) of Rs 2 lakh each belonging to the accused have also been frozen. According to the police, the accused posed as labourers and lured victims by claiming that they had found gold and silver during excavation. They would then gain the victim's confidence before offering to sell the allegedly discovered jewellery at a much lower price. The case came to light after a complaint was lodged at Bisrakh police station. The complainant alleged that two unidentified men and a woman had duped his father by handing him a bag containing fake gold ornaments and taking lakhs of rupees from him. To crack the case, police used local intelligence and analysed CCTV footage from the area. During the investigation, they gathered crucial leads about the suspects and subsequently arrested all three from the road leading from Char Murti towards ATS Roundabout on September 12. The accused have been identified as Mani, a woman aged around 40, Mohan, 43, and Dharma, 45. Mani and Mohan are originally residents of JJ Colony in Delhi's Uttam Nagar and were currently staying in Purana Haibatpur village under Bisrakh police station limits. Dharma, a resident of Bhagirathi Vihar in Delhi's Bhajanpura was also staying in Purana Haibatpur. During interrogation, the accused allegedly revealed their modus operandi. They would introduce themselves as labourers and approach unsuspecting people, claiming that they had found gold or silver while carrying out excavation work. After gaining the victim's confidence, they would take one or two days before showing fake gold or silver ornaments. They would then offer to sell the ornaments at a fraction of their market value, exploiting the victim's desire to buy gold at a cheap price. Once the victim agreed to the deal and handed over the money, the accused would give them fake ornaments and flee. Police are now questioning the accused to ascertain how many similar incidents they have committed in the past and identify other members who may be involved in the gang.

Iran has successfully stood against Israel, USpeople of Iran will not surrender: Iranian President Pezeshkian

New Delhi , September 12: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday lashed out at the US and Israel over the war that started in February this year and accused them of trying to bully Iran. He said Iran will never surrender and will push back. Pezeshkian arrived in New Delhi earlier on Friday to attend the 18th BRICS Summit. The Iranian President, who addressed Indian religious leaders, intellectuals and business leaders on Friday evening, said Iran has been able to successfully stand against Israel and the United States at the same time. They want to bully us, and we do not want to be bullied. We never kneel down before them. If they push us, we push back. They claim that they are advocates of human rights. In truth, they are the devils who are the true terrorists, because they killed 168 schoolchildren in one instant, thanks to their modern technologies. You call us terrorists? What about you, who kill human beings, bomb scientists, and attack schools and hospitals? he said, according to translation of his speech by a translator. If you are man enough, just fight the soldiers, the military people. Why do you target infrastructure and people's livelihoods?... The people of Iran will not surrender. We believe in human values, and we believe that all who liveall humanityenjoy equal rights, he added, according to the translator. Iran and the US traded strikes earlier this week. Iran said it launched retaliatory missile strikes targeting Jordan on Wednesday, hitting the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base used by American forces, following an earlier US military attack on Iranian vessels. In an official statement reported by the state-backed IRNA news agency, Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that they struck the American Al-Azraq base in Jordan with heavy missile strikes as part of a designated punitive operation. Shortly after the barrage, the Jordanian military announced that its air defence network intercepted and neutralised the incoming projectiles. According to an official army statement, Jordan's defence systems detected 20 incoming ballistic missiles, successfully destroying 18 of them, while two impacted unpopulated terrain. The escalation followed actions by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), which confirmed that American forces targeted five Iranian tankers connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Tuesday, September 8. The action came in retaliation against repeated missile assaults directed at a US Navy warship over the preceding 48 hours. CENTCOM specified that US assets struck four crude oil carriers situated in the Gulf of Oman alongside a fifth vessel near Kharg Island inside the Persian Gulf. In his remarks at the event in the national capital, Representative of Irans Supreme Leader in India, Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, compared Iran and India to being like two rivers contributing to the sea of kindness and civilisation. India and Iran are located in two different territories. However, in the geography of culture and history, they are pages of the same booktwo rivers that are from the same origin, which have, for centuries, been contributing to the sea of kindness and civilisation...Therefore, when were talking about Iran and India, were not just talking about two geographies. We are actually talking about two huge branches of the same strong civilization, he said. Ambassador of Iran to India, Mohammad Fathali, pointed to the shared history between the two countries. What is important for us is that we, as the Islamic Republic of Iran, have a long historical relationship with India, and it is deeply rooted in history. This has provided ground for the development of activities in other areas as well. During the past several months, we have been attacked by the cowardly US and the fascist regime. We have lost great people, the Ambassador said.

Psychology says people who take their kids for play dates aren't simply keeping them busy: What this behavior reveals?
