Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday thanked the thousands of people who joined protests across the country and the millions who expressed solidarity at 3 pm, describing the day as a powerful demonstration that the people of India will not be intimidated. In a post shared after the protests, Gandhi expressed gratitude to the leaders of the INDIA Bloc, Congress party workers, and activists of the alliance. Today was a very important day because we needed to show the government that the people of India are not going to be intimidated. You cannot beat us, threaten us, frighten us. We will not accept being bullied, he said. Gandhi took a sharp dig at the RSS, questioning the absence of those he accused of attacking young children the previous day. I was wondering where the cowards of the RSS who were beating the young children day before yesterday were. Where were those people? Because I didnt see them, he remarked. He challenged them to wear your little scarves and come out when the people of India stand together, calling both the RSS and the Prime Minister bullies who rely only on power and cannot stand up openly. The Congress leader emphasised unity, stating there were no parallel protests but one collective movement. Its one protest, and its a protest where everybody is standing together. Every single person is going to stand against these killers of our Constitution, these killers of our democracy. And were not going to back down, he declared. Gandhi also thanked civil society organisations for their support, saying the movement values and loves them. He concluded by expressing pride in all those who came out to defend the idea of India, the Constitution, and democracy. Im extremely proud of every single person who came out on the streets, he said, adding that everyone worked like a team. The remarks come amid ongoing political confrontations, with the opposition framing the protests as a defence of democratic values against what it terms authoritarian tactics.

Can change protest site but not anger of the people: Congress after Jantar Mantar removed as designated protest site

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS) After Jantar Mantar was de-notified as the designated protest site, Opposition leaders expressed their anguish on Monday, saying that they will not accept the decision as it was arbitrary and that in a democracy, people decide where they can protest. They added that the government can change the protest site but cant reduce peoples anger. Speaking to reporters, Congress MP Manish Tewari said, We want to submit a representation to the Honorable Supreme Court. Therefore, the entire Opposition is collectively going to Barakhamba Road. Let's see where it goes from here. Tewari added, The norm is that the protests and demonstrations take place in Boat Club. People come there. You may change the designated venues for demonstrations, but you cannot reduce people's anger. All India Mahila Congress President Alka Lamba said, How can they end it, and who has decided this? In a democracy, who decides when something will begin or end, where people can go and where they cannot? Democracy will decide this. The entire land of India is free for people to raise their voices against injustice and oppression. Our Constitution has given us this freedom. The entire country remains firm on the demand for Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, and it will happen, she added. Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit said, I would urge the government not to hold it here either. They should find a place outside the country, because according to them, we are not even citizens of this country. So, they should find a place in Bangladesh, China, or somewhere else and go there to hold it. Why go to such lengths here? Congress leader and Haryana LoP Bhupinder Singh Hooda said that the denotification of Jantar Mantar as the designated protest site showed that the government is scared. They want to suppress the voice of the people, he added.

Peoples welfare must guide Centre-TN ties: BJP leader

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 12 (IANS) Peoples welfare must guide relations between the Centre and Tamil Nadu, BJP leader Vanathi Srinivasan said on Monday, calling for political differences to be set aside when pursuing projects essential to the states development. In a post on X, the former president of the BJPs national womens wing said governments could differ in their policies and political alliances, but their engagement should be anchored in public welfare and the states progress. Her remarks followed Prime Minister Narendra Modis participation in government programmes in Chennai on Sunday, where development initiatives for Tamil Nadu and the states infrastructure requirements came into focus. Vanathi said the events demonstrated the importance the Union government attached to development projects in Tamil Nadu. They also highlighted PM Modis concern for the state and the Centres contribution to implementing projects intended to support its growth, she said. She welcomed Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijays presentation of Tamil Nadus infrastructure needs before the Prime Minister, describing his decision to outline the states requirements during his speech a positive step. The Chief Ministers requests included Metro rail projects for Madurai and Coimbatore, alongside four-lane road projects and other major infrastructure works, according to her post. Vanathi said advancing such proposals required cooperation across political divides. Governments should give proper consideration to peoples needs and work towards meeting them, rather than allowing differences in political positions to determine the course of development, she said. Her comments placed both the Centres role in supporting Tamil Nadu and the state governments responsibility to articulate its requirements within the same framework of cooperation for public benefit. The BJP leader said the need of the hour was to take forward projects necessary for the states development while ensuring that public demands received appropriate attention and were fulfilled. She stressed that differences over policies or alliances should coexist with cooperation on development. The relationship between the two governments, she said, should ultimately be judged by its contribution to peoples welfare and Tamil Nadus progress, with the states essential infrastructure needs receiving priority in their engagement.

'Don't be afraid': Rahul Gandhi invites people to join Opposition parties march to SC tomorrow

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 11 (IANS) Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Sunday released a video on social media inviting people to join the opposition parties march on Monday to the Supreme Court to give a memorandum against the SIR of electoral rolls and EVMs to the Chief Justice of India, Surya Kant. We will submit a memorandum to the Chief Justice on behalf of the nation, demanding an end to vote chori, halting of SIR and the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar, said Gandhi in the video. Dont be afraid. We will march together, with love, brotherhood and patriotism. Tomorrow, all of India will march to the Supreme Court, he said, adding that they will demand the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Yesterday, the nation's youth came out in Delhi to peacefully protest. They came with love in their hearts, not hatred or anger. They were beaten, both by cops and BJP goons. This is not the India we want. Tomorrow, we will march to the Supreme Court as Indians, united beyond party, gender, caste, community and state, he said. Youth, all opposition parties, civil society groups, all those who believe in democracy and stand by the Constitution of India, will walk with us, the Congress leader said. Gandhi said, We will submit a memorandum to the Chief Justice (India) on behalf of the nation, demanding an end to vote chori, halting of SIR and the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar. He said, Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Ajit Doval and Mohan Bhagwat cannot silence India's voice. These cowards cannot intimidate us. They will have to step aside, he said. Earlier, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said that opposition leaders would meet the Chief Justice of India (CJI) to apprise him of their concerns, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were creating an atmosphere of chaos in the country.

Ranveer Brar: Food is the glue that binds people, establishes a society

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 11 (IANS) Celebrity Chef Ranveer Brar, who is receiving a lot of good response to his quiz show Yess Chef, has shared that food is the primal bond that binds people, and helps in establishing societies and cultures. The celebrity chef and actor spoke with IANS in the Andheri West area of Mumbai during the promotions of his new streaming show Yess Chef, and said the bonds created by food are incomparable. He told IANS, The original bond is food. 2 friends can sit on a song and discuss a painting. But when two friends sit together and eat together, there is no comparison to that bond. So, food is the original glue. And it connects two people, family, community, society, and country which makes it very powerful. And I feel very lucky to be in such a business, that even if you don't want to, people get connected to you, he added. Earlier, Ranveer had shared advice to ensure food safety in homes, and said that the best way to get quality products on kitchen platforms or dining tables is to shop from local markets. He earlier told IANS, I believe that first of all, do your own shopping from local markets. That is very important if we talk about freshness. All of us have stopped going to the vegetable market. The 10-minute apps have changed the culture of shopping from vegetable markets. When you see fresh vegetables on the whole cart, you understand the value of fresh food. Even if you get a small packet of cabbage, you don't enjoy it. I think we should continue. Last minute apps are fine in an emergency, but it is very important to go to the market and buy fresh vegetables. Secondly, if we talk about freshness, I feel that if we make as much food as we want, then there will be less things in the refrigerator. And if there are less things in the refrigerator, then there will be less tension in the mind that we have to use leftover food. So, the refrigerator is equivalent to the tension in the mind, he added.

American citizen among at least 12 people killed in blast at Saudi Arabia airport

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on September 19, 2026. - AFP/Getty Images At least 12 people were killed and hundreds wounded on Saturday when Yemens Houthi militants struck an airport in Saudi Arabias capital, as the Iran-backed group escalated its campaign against the kingdom. It was the third strike on the international hub this week, and the deadliest attack against the major US ally in more than a decade. The attack on Riyadhs King Khalid International Airport killed four Saudi citizens, two Bangladeshi residents, and one resident each from the US, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan, the kingdoms civil aviation body said Sunday, adding that 309 people were wounded. One traveler told Reuters news agency they saw something fly across the sky outside before part of the ceiling near a departure gate collapsed. Another recalled hearing an explosion before seeing several people lying wounded on the ground. All flights were diverted from the city, home to roughly 8 million people, and airport operations were temporarily halted, Reuters said, citing the Saudi civil aviation authority. At least 627 flights were cancelled on Sunday and the airport is expected to remain closed until 9 p.m. local time, according to flight-tracking website Flightradar24. An eyewitness video released by Reuters showed large boards and debris strewn across the terminal floor, with people moving through a dust-filled hall. The US, UK, Spain and Canada are among countries warning their citizens against using the airport. Saturdays incident has exposed vulnerabilities in the kingdoms defense capabilities as it wages an air campaign in support of Yemens internationally recognized government, which is fighting the Houthis on the ground. After the blast, the head of the Houthi media office said the group had shut down the airport in a post on X. The group also warned airliners against using Saudi airspace, declaring it a zone of military operations after Yemen launched an offensive against the group on Monday. Saudi Arabias Coalition Joint Forces Command confirmed the Houthis were behind the attack, which struck the airports passenger terminal and killed both passengers and staff. US President Donald Trump said Saturday he plans to speak with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman following the attack. Theyre able to defend. The Saudis are good fighters. But I think the attack was a terrible thing, Trump said when asked whether Saudi Arabia could defend itself against the Houthis. People gather outside a metro station on the road to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 10, 2026. - AP People gather outside a metro station on the road to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 10, 2026. - AP Asked outside the White House whether Washington planned to join Saudi strikes on the Houthis, a militia aligned with US foe Iran, Trump told reporters: We may. Were going to look at it. We just found out about the recent attack, so well make a decision. We move very quickly. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed a US citizen was among those killed and condemned the attacks as showing a blatant disregard for innocent civilian life, in a post on X. Wounded people, including some in critical condition, were rushed to hospitals Saturday by ambulance and helicopter, people familiar with the matter told Reuters. Two previous attacks at the airport this week killed four people and caused heavy damage to a Saudi commercial plane, Reuters said. UN Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg called the attacks a grave escalation which pose a serious threat to regional security, in a post on X. United Nations Secretary-General Antnio Guterres condemned the latest strike and said attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure are a violation of international law, also writing on X. unknown content item - The civil war in Yemen flared up once again this summer and significantly intensified last month, after years of relative calm. Saudi Arabia has for 11 years tried to contain the conflict on its southern border through military force and diplomacy first waging war with the Houthis, then pursuing peace talks with them and restoring diplomatic talks with their backer, Tehran. Despite the efforts, a series of miscalculations has left Riyadh exposed to further conflict in Yemen, experts say. Saudi Arabia ended its longstanding partnership with the UAE late last year over its backing of a rival force in Yemen, misjudged Trumps willingness to back it if it needed support, and struggled to organize disintegrated armed factions fighting the Houthis.

Rejected by people in Bengal, Mamata Banerjee in Delhi to keep herself relevant: Dilip Ghosh

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 11 (IANS) After being rejected by the people of West Bengal, former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is currently in New Delhi with a herculean attempt to keep herself relevant in national politics, said state Panchayat Affairs and Rural Development Minister and BJPs former national vice-president, Dilip Ghosh, on Sunday. Ghosh, also the BJPs former state president, ridiculed her, claiming she would now go to neighbouring Bangladesh and join any movement there to keep herself more relevant. She and her party, Trinamool Congress, have been completely rejected by the people of West Bengal. The combined vote share of the two factions of Trinamool Congress in the recently concluded bypolls to two Assembly constituencies in West Bengal has been less than three per cent. Trinamool Congress is non-existent in West Bengal. So, she has gone to New Delhi to keep herself relevant in the media. She should now go to neighbouring Bangladesh and join any movement there to keep herself more relevant. But still her party will never benefit, said Ghosh while speaking to the media persons. Ghosh also launched a scathing attack against the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)s ongoing protest in New Delhi over the demand for the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), Gyanesh Kumar, which Mamata Banerjee has been supporting. There is foreign funding behind this movement. A conspiracy by the anti-national forces is behind this movement. The government has done the right thing in taking action in the larger interest of the country and its people, said Ghosh. Ghosh is not the first state BJP leader from West Bengal to ridicule Mamata Banerjee over her eagerness to be a part of the CJP movement. On Saturday, BJPs current state president in West Bengal and the partys Rajya Sabha member, Samik Bhattacharya, without directly naming Congress and the Trinamool Congress faction led by Mamata Banerjee, said that a half-dead political force had joined hands with a dead force to stay relevant over the CJP movement. On the occasion of Mahalaya today, the former West Bengal Chief Minister has gone to New Delhi instead of staying in the state. We want her to stay here during this festivity time and visit various puja pandals. We want to see her doing that. Where have all the big Trinamool Congress leaders gone? Bhattacharya asked on Saturday.
