Imran Khan receives FRRO notice to leave India by October 28 after anti-cec protest in Mumbai

The Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in Mumbai has reportedly directed actor Imran Khan to leave India by October 28, following his participation in a protest against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar in Mumbai on October 10. The action came after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirit Somaiya raised concerns about the actor's participation in a political demonstration, citing his reported US citizenship and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status. According to reports, Somaiya approached the Mumbai Police and sought verification of Khan's citizenship. He questioned whether a foreign national holding a US passport and an OCI card should be participating in a political agitation in India. The protest, organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), took place at August Kranti Maidan in Mumbai Central. A Mumbai Police official confirmed that the FRRO had taken action against the actor. The FRRO has taken the action and a notice was served to the actor Imran Khan, who is [in India] on an OCI card. The actor nephew of Bollywood star Amir Khan stays in Khar and was served the notice, the official said. The FRRO functions under the Bureau of Immigration, which comes under the Ministry of Home Affairs. The agency oversees matters concerning the registration, movement, stay, departure and visa extensions of foreign nationals in India, working in coordination with the police. Speaking about his complaint, Somaiya said that he had sought information regarding the duration of Khan's US citizenship. According to news agency PTI, the BJP leader alleged that the actor, who was born and educated in the United States, had earned his livelihood in India while participating in political and diplomatic activities opposing the government. Somaiya also expressed gratitude to the authorities for taking action. Imran Khan explains his presence at the protest During the demonstration, Khan said that he had attended in his capacity as a citizen and was not there to put forward any specific demands. In a video that circulated widely on social media, the actor explained his reasons for joining the protest. I don't have demands. I am here as a citizen, as a person who lives in this city. I am here to see why freedom of movement is being restricted. Why are people's voices being suppressed? That is why I am here, the actor said. Khan, his girlfriend Lekha Washington, his mother Nusrat and his niece Zayn (Marie) were among approximately 400 people detained during the protest. The demonstrators were demanding the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Following the detention, Zayn shared a video in which she alleged that police personnel had assaulted and manhandled her. She also showed bruises that she said she had sustained during the incident. The reported notice directing Khan to leave India by October 28 follows the complaint over his participation in the demonstration. The matter has brought attention to questions surrounding the participation of OCI cardholders in political protests in the country.

The Election Commissions Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has come under intense scrutiny amid allegations that the process relies on arbitrary criteria that could disproportionately affect certain communities. Questions have been raised over the use of logical discrepancies to flag voters, the role of automated scrutiny, voter deletions in multiple states and the impact on electoral inclusion. With petitions already before the Supreme Court, the debate now centres on whether the process strengthens electoral integrity or risks disenfranchising legitimate voters.

India responded well to energy shock, has strong fundamentals: IMF official on 7 pc growth projection

Digital Desk | United Nations, Oct 15 (IANS) Despite the energy shocks, India's growth projection has been raised because it has responded well to the challenges and its strong fundamentals, fiscal prudence, and lots of reserves, the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) official for the Asia region said on Thursday. Explaining the IMF raising India's growth projection from 6.5 per cent in April to 7 per cent in its latest report despite the energy shock from the Iran war, Krishna Srinivasan, director of the International Monetary Fund's Asia and Pacific Department, said, We've revised up growth because Q1 (first quarter) of this fiscal year came out much stronger than we had anticipated. India entered this (phase of energy shock) with very strong fundamentals; growth was strong, fiscal prudence was pretty much enshrined, he said. They had lots of reserves and so on. In that context, you know, they have responded well to the shock, he said at a news conference in Bangkok, where the IMF is holding its annual meeting. He was asked about the disconnect between growth and performance seen in the rupee being under pressure, the weakening investment inflows, and higher oil price risks, against the highest growth rate among major economies. The so-called disconnect is not really (a) disconnect because what happens to the exchange rate is a function of global interest rates, investor risk appetite, and oil prices, Srinivasan said. And India, being an oil importer, has been affected by the energy shock. But the exchange rate should not be viewed as a barometer of economic success or failure, given the multiplicity of shocks we have seen, he said. Exchange rate should be, you know, the first recourse in terms of allowing the exchange rate to meet as a buffer for to respond to shocks [and it] is very important, he added. Srinivasan supported the revision of the GDP methodology undertaken this year by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), calling it a welcome development. There's always room for improvement, but let's recognise the good work done by MoSPI in proving GDP statistics, he said. These revisions to the methodology are entirely consistent with the advice we've been giving them, including from our statistics department, he said. So, I would just say that, in terms of GDP numbers, what they have done is consistent with good practices. They have revised the base, they rebased it, and they've used the PPI (Producer Price Index) and IIP (Index of Industrial Production) to revise the production side of GDP, and these are welcome developments, he said.

'Hope Is Doing Something Very Similar: Nayar Compares WI Star With Hayden After Heroics Against India

New Delhi: Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar has compared Shai Hopes dominance against India to Matthew Haydens impact during Australias tours of the country in the 2000s. He praised Hope for combining control, power and adaptability while leading the West Indies challenge across formats on the ongoing tour. Hope has scored heavily against India despite facing high pace and quality spin. His ability to shift gears without relying solely on either power-hitting or touch play has made him a difficult batter to contain. The last time I can think of someone dominating India in India was when the Australian team came in the 2000s, Matthew Hayden used to take our bowlers to the cleaners, and Shai Hope is doing something very similar. His batting has been phenomenal, not only for the runs he has got, but also for how he has got them. You cant call him a power player or a touch player. He has found the perfect balance, where he can use the pace, but when required, he can generate force and hit those big sixes, Nayar told JioStar. Nayar pointed out that Hope has not been restricted by the nature of the bowling attack. He has handled Mayank Yadavs pace while also negotiating the variations of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, preventing India from building sustained pressure. He has been challenged with pace, with Mayank Yadav bowling upwards of 145, and he has handled it beautifully. He has played the guile of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel very well. He has basically taken the Indian bowling to the cleaners in every format on this tour of India. To get a century at a strike rate of 200 tells you what Shai Hope can do, keeping wickets, captaining the side, and still coming out again and again to win games for his team, that is very rare to see, he added. Hopes influence has extended beyond his batting numbers. He has carried the additional responsibilities of captaincy and wicketkeeping while continuing to produce decisive performances for the West Indies. He has been challenged with pace, with Mayank Yadav bowling upwards of 145, and he has handled it beautifully. He has played the guile of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel very well.

India to remain world's fastest-growing large economy for next 20-25 years: Piyush Goyal

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS) India will remain the fastest-growing large economy in the world for the next 20-25 years, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday, asserting that the country is well-positioned to drive global growth and technological advancement in the coming decades. Addressing the SRCC Centenary Conclave here, Goyal said nations across the world are increasingly looking to engage with India because they recognise the potential of its young and ambitious population. The world wants to engage with India today because they recognise the young aspirational India is going to lead global growth. It is going to be the engine of global advancement in technology and global trade, he said. Highlighting India's long-term growth prospects, the minister said the country's demographic advantage, large consumer market and entrepreneurial energy would enable it to maintain its growth momentum for decades. We will continue to be the fastest-growing large economy in the world for the next 20-25 years. Given our demographic dividend, young population and the large market that we have, we will actually be shaping how the future of the world pans out, he said. Goyal stressed that India's progress towards becoming a developed nation by 2047 would depend on the collective efforts of its citizens. He said there was a need to move away from a mindset that avoids challenges and instead embrace responsibility for nation-building. Theres a very large segment of people that is running away from the problems. They are not willing to accept that our destiny is in our own hands. We will have to contribute to make India a developed nation by 2047, he said. According to the minister, the ambition to achieve big goals has become a defining characteristic of modern India and is a key factor behind the country's rising global stature.

Keemo Paul Highlights Slower Balls Helped West Indies Beat India In Hyderabad

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: West Indies all-rounder Keemo Paul highlighted that slower balls helped the team keep a lid on the hard-hitting Indian batting attack during their win in the fourth T20I at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here. Shai Hope's marvellous century helped the Windies put up a massive total of 247/3 batting first before Paul starred with a five-wicket haul to keep the Men in Blue to 223 in 19.3 overs as the visitors have levelled the five-match series 2-2 before the last match on Saturday. From the batters' perspective, the message we got after the first five overs was that it was a pretty good wicket. One or two balls were gripping, but other than that, it was pretty good, Paul told the media in the post-match press conference after the 24-run win in Hyderabad on Wednesday. As bowlers, the slower balls helped us here. On other wickets and at other grounds, we haven't been getting much grip, but it worked here, he added. The all-rounder highlighted that the team had meetings to discuss plans to counter the Indian batting attack. Every team has its own game plans. We sit together and discuss them, and we have some pretty long team meetings. I knew what I wanted to do, what my field settings would be and what my plan was. Obviously, I won't share my plan, but I think I executed it pretty well, he said. He highlighted that the bowlers executed their plans pretty well as there was no dew in the fourth game, just as was the case in the third match, which India won by 14 runs in Indore. Some pretty big scores have been chased in this series, but I think a key factor is that there was no dew (in Hyderabad). When there is dew, it becomes quite hard for teams bowling second. In the last game and this one, there was no dew, and I think we executed our plans perfectly, he highlighted. Paul has become the first West Indies bowler to register multiple five-wicket hauls in T20Is. His 5-41 in Hyderabad against India was the second fifer he took in the format after a 5-15 he picked during a T20I against Bangladesh in Mirpur in 2018. Some pretty big scores have been chased in this series, but I think a key factor is that there was no dew (in Hyderabad). When there is dew, it becomes quite hard for teams bowling second. In the last game and this one, there was no dew, and I think we executed our plans perfectly, he highlighted. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

World Bank Group mobilises $36 bn in India in 4 yrs, $9.6 bn for MSMEs

The World Bank Group has helped mobilise USD 36 billion in private capital for development in India over the past four years, including USD 9.6 billion for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), as it steps up efforts to spur private sector-led growth and job creation. Private capital mobilisation by the Group rose nearly five-fold to USD 14.5 billion in fiscal 2026 from about USD 3 billion in fiscal 2022, Manuel Reyes-Retana, IFC's division director for South Asia, said. The increase reflects growing investor interest in development-linked investments, with guarantees from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) helping reduce investment risks and attract private funding, he said.
