Tushar Gandhi, actor Imran Khan among 600 people detained for protesting in Mumbai in CJP's support
Mumbai, Oct 10: Police on Saturday detained around 600 people, including actor Imran Khan, activist Tushar Gandhi and CPI (M) workers, from various locations in Mumbai for protesting without permission in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)'s demonstration in New Delhi. Several protesters complained of manhandling by the police. The demonstrations were held at the August Kranti Maidan, Hutatma Chowk and other locations in the metropolis. At Hutatma Chowk in south Mumbai, several workers of the Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) held a protest. Hundreds of people, including those belonging to Tushar Gandhi-led 'Hum Bharat Ke Log' organisation, and activists of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) assembled at the August Kranti Maidan without permission, and around 200 of them were detained for protesting, a police official said. Overall, around 600 people were detained from various spots across the city, the official said. One of the protesters, Rubaid Bhojani, alleged that the police took the protesters into custody very brutally. We voted for the Prime Minister, but he betrayed us. We demand Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, Bhojani said. Actor Imran Khan was among the protesters detained by the police at the August Kranti Maidan in south Mumbai. Apparently, I am going for a drive, the actor posted on a social media platform from a police van. A video later surfaced, which showed Khan responding to a reporter's query, while he was being forced into the police vehicle, about his participation in the protest. I have no demands. I am not part of any organisation, he said. He was also seen asking the police, What have I done? Why am I being manhandled? A senior citizen with a heart pacemaker alleged that a police constable pulled and pushed her. Another protester alleged that what could have been a peaceful meeting with some slogans and fiery speeches was turned into a brutal spectacle of police dragging people into police vans and detaining them. The protesters were shifted to Gamdevi and Tardeo police stations. Earlier in the day, Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, was picked up from Bandra and taken to D N Nagar police station. A large number of people gathered outside the police station. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray also visited the police station demanding Gandhi's release. The police finally released Gandhi around nine hours after his detention. Gandhi had earlier shared a poster on X, urging citizens to join a protest at August Kranti Maidan at 3.30 pm. Activist Feroze Mithiborwala was also taken into custody from his home and shifted to the MIDC police station. Meanwhile, additional police personnel, including women officers, were deployed at Shivaji Park in Dadar to prevent CJP members from staging a demonstration. Security was also stepped up at other locations across Mumbai. Authorities maintained that August Kranti Maidan is not designated as a protest site in accordance with a Bombay High Court order, prompting preventive action to maintain law and order. The CJP has called a demonstration at Jantar Mantar against the CEC over allegations of voter-list manipulation during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and changes relating to Form 6, used for voter registration. In Delhi, an unprecedented security clampdown and the detention of over 7,000 protesters, including CJP leader Abhijit Dipke, four former chief ministers and YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, helped the government thwart a planned mass mobilisation at Jantar Mantar.

Samson T20I: Former Indian cricketer Robin Singh pointed out that the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi-Sanju Samson debate in T20Is presents the Indian team with healthy competition, one that will not allow the other to slip up with their performances. With Sooryavanshi graduating to the senior level following setting the IPL stage and U19 cricket to fire, the Indian T20I team has found itself in a selection headache of choosing between the fiery teenager Sooryavanshi and experienced Samson at the top of the order with Abhishek Sharma. Former all-rounder Robin Singh highlighted that a youngster should be given a long run, but as others have also done well, he might have to wait for his chances. It is a question of giving people a good run. You don't want to give a youngster just one game or two games, and then you make him sit on a bench. I think those days are gone. It's important to also let him understand what international cricket is, Robin told IANS. Sooryavanshi has enough and more talent. So, you know, even if he has to sit on a bench and wait it out, it's okay. But the others have done very well. So, you know, it's good to have competition. It's good to have people beating down your neck so that you don't slip up with your performances, he added. Sooryavanshi has been part of India's T20I teams from the away Ireland series onwards but has played in eight of the 18 matches since then. He made his debut during the second T20I of the five-match series in England as India took a tough call of dropping Samson after only three failures despite his stellar T20 World Cup 2026. Samson was back in the reckoning after being rested for the Zimbabwe T20I series and has kept the opening slot, especially in the home T20Is. India also tried playing both Sooryavanshi and Samson during the Asian Games in Japan but had only one pacer and a plethora of spin-bowling all-rounders in the playing XI as spinners were getting help there. Sooryavanshi has been part of India's T20I teams from the away Ireland series onwards but has played in eight of the 18 matches since then. He made his debut during the second T20I of the five-match series in England as India took a tough call of dropping Samson after only three failures despite his stellar T20 World Cup 2026.

'Good to have people breathing down your neck': Robin Singh on Sooryavanshi-Samson T20I debate

'People have right to protest peacefully: Oppn leaders back CJPs Jantar Mantar protest
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 10 (IANS) Opposition leaders on Saturday backed the right to peaceful protest as the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) called for a demonstration at Jantar Mantar against the Election Commission of India (ECI), with leaders raising concerns over alleged electoral irregularities and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. Uttar Pradesh State Congress President Aradhana Mishra Mona said the Constitution guarantees every political party and organisation the right to protest peacefully and hold the government accountable for its policies. Our Constitution gives every political party and organisation the right to protest peacefully. It is the moral responsibility of political parties and organisations to voice their opinions and hold the government accountable for its wrong policies, she told IANS. Samajwadi Party spokesperson Ashutosh Verma said the call issued by the CJP had drawn interest from people across different parts of the country. One thing is clear: People from across the country, not just North India but also South, East and West India, want to join the Cockroach Janata Partys call. Why do they want to come? Because they are convinced that electoral malpractice has taken place through the Election Commission, with Gyanesh Kumars name being used as a front, Verma said. Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) chief and MLC, M. Kodandaram also criticised the security arrangements and the reported suspension of Internet services amid the planned demonstration. Today, on October 10, the Cockroach Janata Party has issued a special call to reach Jantar Mantar to protest against the Election Commission of India. They are also demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. However, heavy security forces have been deployed, and Internet services have been suspended, preventing people from reaching the Jantar Mantar area. I think this is a very big mistake, he said. Congress leader Husain Dalwai also questioned the measures taken amid the protest, linking the demonstration to concerns over alleged irregularities in the SIR process. These actions are wrong. People are protesting because of irregularities in the SIR process, which has deprived 13 crore people of their right to participate in elections. This is completely wrong, Dalwai said. The leaders remarks came as the CJPs call for a protest against the Election Commission and its demand for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumars resignation brought electoral processes and the right to dissent into focus.
Odisha: Dharmendra Pradhan leads cleanliness drive in Sambalpur, nearly one lakh people participate
Digital Desk | Sambalpur, Oct 10 (IANS) Former Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday launched a cleanliness drive in Sambalpur, Odisha, as part of the Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 campaign under the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan. Pradhan picked up a broom and participated in the cleanliness drive from Laxmi Talkies Square to Gol Bazar in Sambalpur city. Senior officials of the district administration also actively participated in the initiative. The cleanliness drive began at 6:30 a.m. and was organised at 500 locations across Sambalpur district, including areas under the Sambalpur Municipal Corporation. Nearly one lakh people participated in the initiative. The primary objective of the campaign is to transform cleanliness into a mass movement and encourage active public participation in maintaining a clean and healthy environment. Pradhan participated in the drive alongside the Sambalpur District Collector, Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Superintendent of Police, Sambalpur Municipal Corporation Commissioner and members of various voluntary organisations. Speaking on the occasion, Pradhan said cleanliness was a form of service and stressed the importance of making it an integral part of daily life. Cleanliness is service. This is a very important campaign. Today, in Sambalpur district, more than 500 urban areas and over 100,000 volunteers and sanitation workers are engaged in cleaning work. This is a sign of cleanliness, a way of living a disciplined life, and we should adopt it, he said. Pradhan also expressed concern over the extensive use of single-use plastic in Sambalpur, warning that it posed a serious threat to the environment. He said that harming the environment ultimately meant harming human society and property, underlining the need for collective responsibility in protecting the surroundings. Emphasising the importance of individual efforts, Pradhan said maintaining cleanliness at home should extend to neighbouring areas and public spaces. He urged people to adopt responsible habits and contribute to keeping their surroundings clean. The initiative aims to strengthen public awareness about sanitation, discourage the use of single-use plastic and promote community participation in cleanliness activities across Sambalpur district. The campaign also seeks to encourage citizens to adopt cleanliness as a regular practice rather than limiting it to special drives and official initiatives.

200 people detained in Delhi ahead of CJP's Jantar Mantar protest
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 10 (IANS) Around 200 people have been detained by the Delhi Police from Jantar Mantar and surrounding areas as they gathered for the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)-led protest against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar on Saturday, officials said. The detentions come as Delhi Police remains on high alert ahead of the CJP's proposed protest at Jantar Mantar, with security tightened across the national Capital. Earlier in the day, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and spokespersons Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were detained at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport as they arrived ahead of the protest. Delhi Police personnel entered the aircraft carrying Dipke after it landed at IGI Airport. Dipke posted the video showing the Delhi Police team entering the flight as he, along with other CJP members, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, were detained from the flight itself. In a video posted on his social media handle, Dipke was heard telling the police, ...I have come here to be arrested; arrest me. The CJP announced the detentions in a post on its social media handle, stating: Abhijeet Dipke DETAINED! Saurav Das DETAINED! Ashutosh Ranka DETAINED! Social media influencer Dhruv Rathee was also detained at his residence in Gurugram. According to a post on the X handle of the CJP, around 50 police personnel in plain clothes reached Rathees residence in Gurugram at around 8 a.m. and took him into custody. Meanwhile, vehicles are being checked at Delhi's borders, while police personnel have been equipped with body cameras to record any untoward incidents during the demonstration.

India demands Pakistan end human rights violations in PoK, suppressing people's revolt
Digital Desk | United Nations, Oct 10 (IANS) India has demanded that Pakistan stop the military's human rights violations in the part of Kashmir it illegally occupies, where the people have risen in revolt against it. In the last few months, the Pakistani armed forces and their proxies have killed dozens of innocent civilians who were agitating for their basic rights and freedoms and basic necessities, BJP MP Mahima Kumari Mewar said here on Friday. We call upon Pakistan to stop the grave and ongoing human rights violations in the areas illegally occupied by it, where the population is in open revolt against Pakistan, its military occupation, repression, brutality, and illegal exploitation of resources, she said at the General Assembly's Fourth Committee that deals with decolonisation. She delivered the tough message, exercising the right of reply to Pakistan's Acting Permanent Representative Usman Jadoon's attempt to draw Kashmir into the debate. A country like Pakistan, with an established record of military dictatorship, sham elections, incarceration of popular elected leaders, religious extremism, and sponsoring terrorism as an instrument of state policy, should, in future, refrain from preaching homilies of this sort at this platform, Mewar said. Jammu and Kashmir is and always remains an integral and inalienable part of India, she declared. More than 90 people have been killed by Islamabad's security forces, which brutally put down Kashmiris' protests that began against Pakistan sending outsiders there to manipulate the elections. The people's anger over the exploitation of its natural resources, the worsening living conditions, and the rising prices boiled over and a civil society coalition, Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), has led the broader protests. Mewar represents Rajasthan's Rajsamand constituency in the Lok Sabha and is among the MPs in India's delegation to the General Assembly. Earlier, delivering India's statement at the committee, she reaffirmed that India would work tirelessly to achieve the goal of decolonisation. The fight against colonisation has been arduous and although more than 80 countries have been able to break free of the shackles of colonialism, the decolonisation process, however, remains unfinished, she said. Seventeen non-self-governing territories remain on the agenda of the Fourth Committee, and a pragmatic approach will lead to their decolonisation and the fulfilment of the legitimate wishes of the people there, she said. The UN's list of the non-self-governing territories includes the Falkland Islands or Malvinas, which are claimed by Argentina, over which there were heated exchanges between Britain, which holds them, and Argentina and its supporters.

Economy stabilisation measures bring no joy for ordinary people in Pakistan: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) The Pakistan government has, over the last four years, highlighted stabilisation of the economy but the word largely meant the economy has stopped falling but incomes, jobs or public services have not seen any improvement for ordinary people, a new report has said. The report from Colombo-based publication Asian News Post said the government of Shehbaz Sharif has emphasised avoiding default through IMFbacked programmes, but that policy focus has prioritised shortterm fiscal order over longterm investment and growth. The majority of public expenditure was used for maintaining the existing system rather than building future economic capacity. The report argued that Pakistans successive stabilisation programs were designed to keep the economy afloat rather than delivering prosperity. It pointed out the distinction saying that many Pakistanis mistook the word stability to mean that economic conditions have improved. Most spending was consumed by routine operations, debt obligations, transfers, and subsidies, while very little was invested in infrastructure, human capital, or long-term development, the report noted. Total public expenditure over last four years totalled Rs 90 trillion, with roughly 33 per cent going to debt servicing, 28.2 per cent transferred to provinces under the NFC award, 9.1 per cent to defence, 7.4 per cent to pensions, 10 per cent covering stateowned enterprise losses, 3.4 per cent to energy subsidies and 2.9 per cent to the Benazir Income Support Programme. Only around 4.6 per cent was allocated through the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), the governments primary development spending mechanism, the publication said. Despite Pakistan having a growing population that requires new schools, hospitals, roads, water systems, public transportation, and energy infrastructure only a small fraction of total spending is directed to these purposes. While government borrowing skyrockets, interest payments also rise, consuming larger portions of government revenue, leaving fewer resources available for development. Government debt rose from roughly Rs 47 trillion in 2022 to approximately Rs 83 trillion by 2026, the report noted. State-owned enterprises running on huge losses, along with faulty taxation policy compounds the problem, it noted.

Almost 300,000 people now live in flood
On Aug. 26, a rock and ice avalanche triggered a huge flood that swept through a steep valley in Nepal, leaving thousands dead and missing. It was an extreme example of a growing problem across the Himalayas. As glaciers melt, glacial lakes expand and mountain permafrost thaws, the risks from floods, landslides and other high-mountain hazards are increasing. At the same time, more people and infrastructure are moving into the valleys where these hazards are most likely to strike.

Russian strike on buses kills 30 people in frontline Ukrainian city
Police said the buses were hit with a glide bomb (Handout) Ukraine on Thursday accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians after 30 people were killed when two buses were blown up in the frontline city of Kramatorsk, in one of the deadliest single attacks for weeks. Photos posted by local authorities showed the burnt-out metal shell of the vehicles, with the blurred-out images of bodies and debris strewn across the road. Police said the buses were hit with a glide bomb. The strikes come just a day after five children were among 22 killed when a Russian missile struck a five-storey apartment block in Pryluky, in the northern Chernigiv region. The Russians are deliberately targeting civilians, Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin said, accusing Moscow of flouting every conceivable rule of warfare and norm of international humanitarian law. Kramatorsk City Council called it yet another horrific crime committed by the Russian army against the civilian population. Once again, the Russians have struck a location where there are absolutely no military targets, it added. There has been mounting concern about the increase in civilian casualties in the conflict, as both sides step up long-range attacks beyond their borders. Since Russia first invaded in 2022, Ukraine has accused its forces of deliberately attacking and killing civilians. The United Nations has verified more than 17,000 civilian deaths throughout the war, but says the real number is considerably higher. Last week, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had sanctioned massive attacks on civilian areas. The Kremlin has denied the claim. - Security worsened - Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, has come under increasing attack, including on Wednesday when Russia launched a barrage of powerful ballistic and cruise missiles, and fast-moving, jet-powered drones. The city's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said two people were found dead on Thursday after a fire at a four-storey building that was hit by a drone in the densely populated Solomyansky district. Klitschko has said the attacks, which have hit key transport bridges in the city, as well as the rail network and energy grid, were tearing Kyiv apart. For the first few years of the war, Kyiv had been relatively spared from the devastation wrought on the frontline but should now be on a war footing, he argued. Kramatorsk, which was home to some 150,000 people before the war, is one of the key cities that Russia has not yet captured in the eastern Donetsk region, which Moscow claims as its own. It has been a logistics and supply hub for the Ukrainian military for much of the war and is part of the so-called fortress belt which troops are fighting to keep hold of. Russian forces have edged close to the city's eastern fringes, which has prompted calls for the civilians who remain to relocate to safer regions of Ukraine. Filashkin said Thursday's strike, which happened at 10:00 am (0700 GMT), represented a sharp deterioration in security and ordered the suspension of public transport in Kramatorsk and neighbouring Sloviansk. Under these circumstances, we cannot risk the lives of passengers and drivers, he said. The safety of the residents of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk is now our top priority. Ukraine last month launched a counter-offensive against Russian troops around Lyman -- to the north of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk -- claiming some success in regaining pockets of territory. bur-phz/jc/jxb This article originally appeared on AFP at https://www.yahoo.com/news/world/articles/russian-strike-buses-kills-30-104611850.html

Govt elected by people should not perish provided elections are fair: Murli Manohar Joshi

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 8 (IANS) Celebrity photographer Atul Kasbekar remembered veteran actor Nana Patekar following his demise on October 8, recalling their warm relationship and sharing a deeply personal anecdote from one of their meetings. Atul Kasbekar revealed that Nana Patekar had once shown him a stack of firewood he had prepared for his own funeral, adding that the actor had joked about not wanting people to cry at his funeral merely because smoke from wet wood had got into their eyes. Sharing a series of memories, Kasbekar wrote on his social media account, Nana Saheb. What a man. What a loss. I shared a wonderfully warm relationship with Nana Patekar. We didnt meet often, but whenever we did, it felt like wed met yesterday. He was particularly proud that a fellow Maharashtrian had made a name in photography. Always a warm word, invariably laced with his trademark acidic wit. He added, Unpredictable. Intense. Fiercely individualistic. Nana Saheb didnt enter a room. He took possession of it. One of my most cherished memories is photographing him for my exhibition HONEST: Portraits of Character, possibly among his last formal portrait sessions. He insisted I come to his farm near Pune. He further wrote, His first question was how many people were coming. Not out of concern for the crew size, but because everyone would be served lunch..And what a feast! Every assistant, spot boy and driver was seated in his main dining area, with Nana Saheb personally walking around serving extra rotis and helpings of his famous mutton. He added, No hierarchy. No fuss. Just extraordinary generosity from a man who could intimidate an entire film set with one raised eyebrow. He then proudly showed me around his property, including his gym, where he casually knocked off a dozen tricep dips. Stone cold. No warm-up. Show-off! And then, in a moment of spectacularly morbid humour, showed me a stack of firewood hed prepared for his own funeral. He further revealed, Hed kept it dry, he explained, because wet wood smokes, and he didnt want people crying at his funeral merely because the smoke got into their eyes! Only Nana Saheb could turn his own cremation into a comedy routine. A phenomenal actor. The voice of a generation. A formidable presence. And beneath that intimidating exterior, a deeply generous, solid human being. His loss feels personal. Like a punch in the guts. Im honoured to have made those portraits but infinitely more grateful for the time, conversations and laughter we shared. He concluded, My heartfelt condolences to Malhar, Neelu ji and all his loved ones. Rest easy, Nana Saheb. There will never be another quite like you. Earlier, Atul Kasbekar had also shared a video of Patekar working out in April 2026, which later resurfaced following his death. In the clip, Patekar could be seen in a white vest and shorts with a gamcha around his neck, effortlessly performing tricep dips in a gym. He completed several repetitions before smiling at the camera, with Kasbekar praising his fitness and describing him as a legend. For the uninitiated, Atul Kasbekars recollection comes after Nana Patekars death on October 8, 2026, at the age of 75. The actor died after suffering a cardiac arrest at his residence in Dona Paula, Goa. He was taken to Manipal Hospital, where doctors attempted to revive him for around 45 minutes before he was declared dead at approximately 5:20 AM.
