Delhi Protests: Foreign Hand, NGOs, UP Elections? Where's The Evidence? I Abhijit Iyer-Mitra
Delhis SIR protests have triggered a fierce political battle - with allegations of a foreign hand behind the violence. BJP President Nitin Nabin claimed that frustrated opposition parties and the CJP were orchestrating a 'deep conspiracy' to spread instability and anarchy in Bharat backed by foreign influences. But where is the evidence? In this episode of 'Why Should You Care?', Abhijit Iyer-Mitra examines the claims, the funding trail and the role of civil society groups in protest mobilisation. He also discusses the controversies surrounding Abhijit Dipke, Saurav Das and Neha Bora - and asks whether these allegations point to foreign interference or remain unproven conspiracy theories.

Nagaland Cricket Stadium: Mizoram's Chinmay Sutar became only the second batter in Ranji Trophy history to hit a quadruple century, while Delhi captain Ayush Badoni struck a double hundred and India batters Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar notched up centuries on an eventful day two of the second round of the Ranji Trophy on Monday. Playing in just his second first-class match, Sutar remained unbeaten on 400 against Nagaland in a Plate group game at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima, and become only the second Indian to score a quadruple hundred in first-class cricket. The left-hander went past Prithvi Shaw's 379 to post the second-highest individual score in the history of the competition. Only Bhausaheb Nimbalkar's unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in Pune in 1948-49 remains ahead of him. Sutar was on 392 at tea and brought up his 400 in the 155th over, prompting Mizoram to declare at 581/9. He faced 517 balls in all and struck 46 fours and seven sixes. Mizoram, who ended day one on 331/5, slipped to 391/9 and Sutar was on 231 when last man Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak joined him. The pair put on an unbroken 190-run stand to take the game away from Nagaland. It has entered the record books as the third-highest last-wicket partnership in Ranji Trophy history, 43 runs short of the record 233 set by Ajay Sharma and Maninder Singh for Delhi against Mumbai in 1991-92. Sutar also became only the 10th batter to score 400 or more in a first-class innings, joining a list that features batting greats such as Brian Lara and Don Bradman. Sutar made his Ranji debut for Mizoram in last week's season opener against Manipur after obtaining a no-objection certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). He scored 35 and 99 in that game, as Mizoram recovered from a 68-run first-innings deficit before going down narrowly by three wickets. Sutar had played for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy last season on the back of strong showings in Mumbai's local leagues. By the time stumps were called in Sovima, Nagaland reached 50/1. Elsewhere in the Plate group, Parth Palawat and Nilesh Lamichaney scored hundreds as Sikkim piled up 477/4 against Arunachal Pradesh's 121. Meanwhile, Karnajit Yumnam's unbeaten 93 led Manipur's strong reply of 173/2 to Meghalaya's 380, in which Pheiroijam Jotin bagged five wickets in a 29-over spell. In Elite Group A, Patidar's unbeaten 107, studded with 13 fours, took Madhya Pradesh to 302/5 and their lead swelling to 125 against Puducherry. Chanchal Rathore and Shubham Sharma also made half-centuries for Madhya Pradesh. Ravikumar Samarth's 143 rescued Vidarbha in a sensational fashion and took them past Jammu and Kashmir's 260, with number nine Rajneesh Gurbani making an unbeaten 64. Umar Nazir and Sunil Kumar took four wickets each for the hosts and leave Vidarbha at 133/7, before Samarth bailed Vidarbha out of trouble. Nachiket Bhute then rocked J&K's top order to leave them reeling at 7/4 in Srinagar, as the defending champions still trail by 38 runs. In Kanpur, Zeeshan Ansari's five-wicket haul helped Uttar Pradesh bowl out Goa for 164 and take a 38-run lead. At stumps, UP reached 102/4 in their second innings. Priyanshu Moliya's 132, backed by fifties from Mahesh Pithiya and Deepak Hooda, gave Baroda a 250-run lead over Bihar. At stumps, Bihar reached 4/0 in one over of their second innings and still trail by 246 runs. In Group B, Salil Arora (107 off 226 balls) and skipper Uday Saharan (161 off 299 balls) steered Punjab to 456 against Chhattisgarh, with Arora scoring his second hundred in as many games. Left-arm spinner Dharmendrasinh Jadeja sent down nearly 56 overs for his seven wickets, but got little support from the rest of the attack. Harpreet Brar then ripped through the Chhattisgarh batting with 5-21 in just eight overs, and leave the visitors at 76/5 at stumps, as they still trail by 384 runs. At Alur, resuming on 281/8, Karnataka were bowled out for 342, with Manvanth Kumar hitting 135 off 214 balls, including 11 fours and six sixes, in what is also his maiden first-class century. Saurashtra's openers Hetvik Kotak (46 off 127 balls) and Harvik Desai (77 off 78 balls) gave a strong start with a 110-run stand. Karnataka, however, hit back either side of tea to reduce the visitors to 128/4, before Arpit Vasavada (25 batting) and Prerak Mankad (13 batting) took them to 164/4 at stumps, as Saurashtra are still 178 runs behind. Tanay Thyagarajan continued his fine start to the season with a five-wicket haul as Hyderabad bowled out Andhra for 184 to take a 91-run lead. Hyderabad were 78/2 at stumps. Assam bowled out Tripura for 62, with Mukhtar Hussain taking 3-23, as the hosts enforced the follow-on. Tripura were 143/5 in their second innings at stumps, but are still 129 runs behind. In Group C, Badoni's 217 off 246 balls powered Delhi to declare at 648/6 against Gujarat, with Sumit Mathur and Anuj Rawat also scoring half-centuries. Gujarat ended the day on 98/2 in 35 overs and trail by 550 runs in Palam. Shahbaz Ahmed and Aamir Gani took four wickets apiece as Bengal dismissed Services for 122. Left-arm spinner Rahul Singh then claimed five wickets to bowl Bengal out for 146 in their second innings, leaving Services needing 209 to win and they reached 12/0 in five overs at stumps. Mohammed Azharuddeen remained unbeaten on 139 as Kerala made 404 against Odisha, while sharing a 99-run stand with Aditya Sarvate, who also scored a fifty. Odisha were 114/3 and trail Kerala by 290 runs. Digvijay Patil's 148 and another century from Ankit Bawne took Maharashtra to 403/5 and get a lead of 234 runs against Jharkhand. In Group D, Sarfaraz's unbeaten 139 off 213 balls, his 18th first-class hundred laced with 18 fours, put Mumbai in complete control at 398/4 against Himachal Pradesh at the Luhnu Cricket Ground, Bilaspur and stretch their lead to 258. Captain Siddhesh Lad (87 off 188 balls) and Musheer Khan (57 off 137 balls) had earlier put on 122 runs for the third wicket. Lad shared a 68-run stand with Sarfaraz for the fourth wicket, while Sarfaraz and Akash Anand (58 not out off 152 balls) then added an unbroken 176 for the fifth wicket to bat Himachal out of the contest. In Chennai, Pradosh Ranjan Paul's gritty 136 off 279 balls, including 12 fours, helped Tamil Nadu take a 179-run first-innings lead over Uttarakhand, before being all out for 313. Resuming on 85/2, Paul curbed his usual attacking instincts and, along with Baba Indrajith (77), shared a 171-run stand for the third wicket. Off-spinner Avneesh Sudha (4-34 in 20 overs) and Mayank Mishra, who took five wickets, were the standout bowlers for Uttarakhand. Captain R Sai Kishore removed opener Aarav Mahajan in the first over of Uttarakhand's second innings to leave them at 9/1 at stumps. Karan Lamba and Sachin Yadav were both dismissed for 194 after a 338-run third-wicket stand, as Rajasthan made 497 against Railways, who were 46/1 in 24 overs of the first innings and still trail by 451 runs. Off-spinner Avneesh Sudha (4-34 in 20 overs) and Mayank Mishra, who took five wickets, were the standout bowlers for Uttarakhand. Captain R Sai Kishore removed opener Aarav Mahajan in the first over of Uttarakhand's second innings to leave them at 9/1 at stumps. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Age Shouldn't Matter If You're Good Enough, Says Kartik On Bhuvneshwar's Recall
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Indian left-arm spinner Murali Kartik on Monday welcomed Bhuvneshwar Kumar's recall to the national T20I side, saying age should never be a barrier to selection as long as a player is good enough and not a liability on the field. Bhuvneshwar initially earned a recall for Indias five-match T20I series in New Zealand starting on October 22. But he was then drafted into the rained-out fifth T20I against the West Indies in Bengaluru first as a cover for Arshdeep Singh, before replacing Mayank Yadav in the playing eleven. Bhuvneshwar had played a key role in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru achieving consecutive IPL wins in 2025 and 2026. 100 percent. I am so happy that he has made his comeback. I have never been a huge believer (in age being a criterion for selection). If somebody is good, he should be picked. Somebody is 40, and he is good; as long as he can move and he is not a liability on the field, he should be picked. I have got no issues with that. I have never had. I have always maintained this belief in my life, Kartik told reporters in a select virtual interaction facilitated by Sony Sports Network on Monday. Someone like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, he has showcased it throughout his life. He has been a quiet and exceptional performer. He is not somebody who is beating his chest and saying, ' Notice me'. He has never done that. Even this year too, in that cauldron called IPL, which is a tough gig for any bowler, he literally was simply the best or, in fact, one of the best in all conditions across all phases. I suppose there is a huge case for him, and there was a national clamour, so to speak, that Bhuvneshwar should be picked primarily based on those performances. So, I am very happy that he is back and so should be for anyone else, he added. Kartik, however, cautioned that the comeback would put Bhuvneshwar under intense scrutiny, and that the outcome could shape how selectors view older players for future assignments. I don't know if you want to use the word litmus. But anyone who is on this side of 30 and making a comeback, it is not going to be easy. The spotlight is always going to be on you. If you do well, people will say, he has continued his form. If he doesn't do well, then people are going to say, we always knew he was on this side. All those things are part of it. From a Bhuvneshwar Kumar point of view, I don't think he is going to be looking at it that way. It is a new lease of life. Anybody who comes to play this game wants to play it for the right reason, and that is to play for the country at any stage at any age. So I am pretty sure that Bhuvneshwar Kumar is taking it that way. But yes, the pressure is on him because if he doesn't do well, if it doesn't go well for him, then obviously, it is like how you are looked at. Say, imagine a 36- or 37-year-old does well. If there is a reason to bring another 36- or 37-year-old at some other stage, people might use this as an example and say, look, he did well, so he can also do well. But if somebody doesn't do well, then there are always going to be doubts about bringing that guy as well. So I hope it goes well for Bhuvneshwar Kumar. But it is definitely going to be a stern test. I don't know whether it is a litmus test, he elaborated. On wrist spinner Varun Chakaravarthy's return, after a side strain led to him being ruled out after the first T20I against Afghanistan in New Delhi last month, Kartik said fitness would be the key. You just hope that Varun Chakaravarthy stays fit because he is also on the other side of 30 and he is not known for his exceptional fitness. So, he is basically a one-dimensional cricketer who has done exceedingly well with what he has got. That is exactly what Varun Chakravarthy is. That is an argument which you can use for other people as well. Someone like Kuldeep Yadav. How is it that Varun Chakaravarthy is solely a bowler? He is not a gazelle on the field, nor is he a Shai Hope with the bat. So, he is seen as a superb bowler because he has won. How is it that the same yardsticks are not used for someone else? So, I hope that really all goes well for India, he said. He also expected spinners to play a big role in the T20Is in New Zealand despite the small grounds. If he is fit, as I said again, in New Zealand, the grounds are small. But not so small that the spinners cannot operate. Most importantly, in T20 cricket, we have seen that it is the spinners who have got the better economy. So, spinners have a huge role. Also, most importantly, the format always demands that you are always thinking on your feet. You are light on your feet. You are thinking as the ball or game evolves. So, I suppose spinners have a huge role. So will the pacers. Again, you will not necessarily get good wickets during the T20s. You don't want extremely seaming wickets during the T20 games. It will be interesting to see how our spinners go because you have got some good ones. Kartik also backed all-rounder Naman Dhir, who smashed an unbeaten 24 off six balls in the abandoned series decider against the West Indies in Bengaluru, to make a strong case for himself, especially after his handy off-spin fetched him five scalps. When you look at what he has done, I think he is a good cricketer to have. He is a very handy three-dimensional cricketer to have. He might not give you four overs every time in a T20, but he will give you handy overs. As we have seen, he has picked up wickets and, more importantly, he has shown some heart, and that is the most important thing, especially in the T20 format, he said. Even when you get hit, he has shown some heart, and he is a quality hitter, down the order. I think he can finish and win games for you. I am pretty sure, at the end of the day, as and when you are presented opportunities, if you take them with both hands, you make an extremely strong case for yourself not to be dropped, he added. On teenage opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has had to wait for his chance to play, Kartik said the youngster's time would come. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is a precocious talent. For him, he is just waiting in the wings because of two openers out there and a number three who has done exceptionally well and can also double up as an opener if need be. You have got the top two batters in T20Is right now going around, and you have got a right-left combination. So, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will get his chance because he is an exciting talent. He has a wonderful future ahead. So, it's just a question of biding your time sometimes. On teenage opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has had to wait for his chance to play, Kartik said the youngster's time would come. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is a precocious talent.

Unresolved border dispute remains principal obstacle in India-China relations: Report
Digital Desk | Beijing, Oct 19 (IANS) The unresolved border dispute remains a central security concern and the principal obstacle in India-China relations which are still short of their pre-2020 status quo despite Chinese President Xi Jinpings visit to New Delhi last month for the BRICS summit prompting speculation that both countries are moving toward a reset, a report has highlighted. India has sought to stabilise ties and manage differences with China since the 2020 Galwan clashes with the efforts gaining momentum due to US President Donald Trumps increasingly hostile policies toward India and much of Asia, a report in The Diplomat highlighted. However, Xi's New Delhi visit for the BRICS Summit in September and the bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not be mistaken for an alignment of interests, the report cautioned. The resumption of high-level dialogue, leadership meetings, and direct connectivity are important developments. Another Galwan-like border confrontation would carry heavy domestic costs and could be difficult to recover from. Preventing a recurrence of such violence is a priority. But this does not require India to reconsider its position on the underlying differences, wrote Sana Hashmi, a fellow at the Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation. It is also important to note that India never abandoned dialogue with China after Galwan. Keeping communication channel open has remained part of its approach, even as tensions persisted along the border. The latest meetings continue that policy; they do not demonstrate that the relationship or India's approach to it has fundamentally changed, Hashmi mentioned. The report mentioned that China's recent statement that it does not recognise the Union Territory of Ladakh, underlines the depth of the disagreement. There is little basis for expecting a reset while the two sides remain so far apart on territorial issues. Nor is the border the only source of friction. Chinas relationship with Pakistan and the persistent trade imbalance remain contentious issues, too. There is little evidence of progress on any of these fundamental differences, it added. The Diplomat report stated that the Galwan clashes changed Indias view of and threat perception from China and raised serious questions about the viability of the existing arrangements in ensuring peace along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). High-level meetings can help manage tensions for the time being, but they cannot substitute for progress on the ground. India is also unlikely to return to its previous position on the One China policy without some reference to, or assurance regarding, a corresponding One India policy from Beijing. Such an assurance appears unlikely in the foreseeable future, Hashmi opined. Just a couple of years ago, a meeting between Xi and Modi on Indian soil seemed difficult to imagine. That is one of the reasons why their meeting drew so much attention. But it has not changed the scope or nature of the issues dividing the two countries. For now, both sides are trying to prevent another crisis while their core disagreements remain unresolved. Until those differences are addressed, dialogue may keep the relationship from deteriorating further, but it will not put China-India ties on the path to a reset, the expert added. During their meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in New Delhi on September 12, PM Modi had reiterated to Xi Jinping that India and China should show sensitivity to each other's core concerns and be guided by mutual respect, mutual interest and mutual sensitivity. Both leaders had emphasised that differences should not become disputes and reaffirmed that the two countries should take a strategic and long term perspective of their ties. The two leaders welcomed the steady progress in India-China bilateral relations since their last meeting in Tianjin in August 2025. They reaffirmed that both countries should take a strategic and long term perspective of their ties. Differences should not become disputes. Prime Minister highlighted that both sides must be guided by three mutuals- mutual respect, mutual sensitivity and mutual interest, read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) after the meeting. /as

Leh: Youth arrested with narcotics outside KBR airport
Digital Desk | Leh, Oct 19 (IANS) A youth was arrested on Monday outside the KBR airport in Leh town of Ladakh after narcotics were recovered from his possession. A police statement said that Police Station Leh received credible, reliable, and specific information that one person, namely 21-year-old Jigmet Chosgyal, son of Nurbroo Dorjay, resident of Chumathang, presently resident of Police Colony Choglamsar, was arriving at Leh from Delhi by an IndiGo Airlines flight and was carrying a substantial quantity of narcotic substance (Chitta Heroin) in his possession. The said narcotic substance was reportedly concealed inside his personal carry bag among his clothes and other personal belongings, with the intention of selling the same to like-minded persons in Leh town at an exorbitant price, the statement said. It added that a prima facie cognizable offence punishable U/S 8/21 of the NDPS Act was made out. Accordingly, a case was registered at P.S. Leh, and investigation was taken up. During the course of investigation, approximately 21.02 grams of narcotic substance (heroin) was recovered from the possession of the aforesaid person outside of KBR Airport. Consequently, the police took the said person into custody in connection with the instant case, and he, along with his close relatives, was informed of the grounds and nature of his arrest by mobile phone. Police added that it is pertinent to mention that the recovery of heroin in such a substantial quantity is reportedly unprecedented in Ladakh to date. The matter is under investigation, and further inquiry is underway, while preliminary interrogation suggests the recovered drugs were obtained from Nayagaon, Chandigarh. Narcotics and substance abuse are no longer unheard of in Ladakh as the region is facing a rapidly growing drug and addiction crisis. Authorities reported 298 new cases of drug abuse in the Union Territory in recent months, including 101 cases involving opioids and 40 cases of cannabis and poly-substance abuse. Following directions from Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, Ladakh's newly formed Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) launched major crackdowns, seizing over 1.5 kg of charas in its first week of operations. The crackdown exposed an alarming trend where local youths are involved in both consuming drugs and peddling them to fund their own addictions. Law enforcement has recovered various substances including charas, heroin, ganja, and brown sugar, leading to multiple arrests across Leh, Zanskar, and Kargil. Administration officials have stepped up vehicle checks at key mountain passes and entry corridors like Zoji-La and Sarchu to stem the flow of contraband into the region.

New Delhi, Oct 19: Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk will visit India from October 21 to 23 at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with the two leaders set to review bilateral ties and discuss regional and global issues of mutual interest, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Monday.

This would be PM Tusks second visit to India in his capacity as the Prime Minister of Poland, the first being during his earlier tenure in 2010.

The MEA said that Tusk will hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Modi on October 22, 2026 during which both leaders shall review the entire spectrum of bilateral relations, which was elevated to a Strategic Partnership during the visit of PM Modi to Poland in August 2024. They will also exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual interest. PM Donald Tusk will also travel to Bengaluru, where he will engage with various business stakeholders including from the IT and space sectors. An India-Poland Business Forum shall be held on October 22 in New Delhi and October 23 in Bengaluru.

It would also serve to deepen the India-EU strategic partnership, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.
Tiger Shroff attack: Congress accuses Maha govt of shielding organised crime syndicates
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 19 (IANS) Launching a scathing attack on the MahaYuti government following a high-profile firing incident targeting actor Tiger Shroffs vehicle in Mumbai, the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President Harshwardhan Sapkal on Monday accused Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis of overseeing a state of complete lawlessness. Demanding immediate accountability, Sapkal questioned how jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi continues to operate an extensive criminal empire from inside Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad without official patronage or political protection. Sapkal asserted that open-daylight attacks on high-profile figures, including actor Tiger Shroff, film producer Rohit Shetty, actor Salman Khan, and the murder of former minister Baba Siddique, prove that criminals no longer fear the police. He pointed out that the Ministry of Home Affairs issued an order under Section 268 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) in August 2023. This order prevents state police forces from transferring Lawrence Bishnoi out of Gujarats Sabarmati Jail for interrogationa legal restriction that is routinely renewed annually. Dismissing Chief Minister Fadnavis's assertions to go after the osses of organised crime, Sapkal challenged the state government to request the Union Home Ministry to revoke Bishnoi's legal immunity and bring him to Mumbai for interrogation and trial. Sapkal alleged that the Mumbai Police forces fear factor is a thing of the past because law enforcement is being used exclusively for extortion and political intimidationciting ongoing police harassment against former Congress MLA Rahul Bondre after he refused to join the ruling BJP. If a famous film actor can be targeted in broad daylight in the heart of Mumbai, what safety remains for the common citizen? How is Lawrence Bishnoi operating his entire syndicate from an Ahmedabad prison? This is simply impossible without the direct blessings of the government, he said. He added that Assam Police can travel to Gujarat or Delhi to arrest opposition politicians, while aero FIRs filed in Bihar can trigger CBI probes in Mumbai. Yet, the Maharashtra government claims to be helpless when it comes to interrogating a gangster sitting in Gujarat. What relation does Bishnoi have with the BJP that he receives such official protection? Instead of issuing hollow threats and rhetorical warnings, Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis must display the courage to extradite Bishnoi to Mumbai, interrogate him, and prosecute him under the law. If this government cannot rein in gangsters, drug lords, and sand mafias, they have no moral right to remain in power and should resign immediately, noted Sapkal. Earlier, Shiv Sena UBT and NCP SP also slammed the BJP-led MahaYuti government over the attack on Tiger Shroff. The opposition's onslaught comes amidst growing public and political concern regarding organised extortion calls and violent threats issued to public representatives and Bollywood personalities alike. With opposition parties uniting against the state's deteriorating law and order situation, pressure is mounting on the MahaYuti government to deliver concrete enforcement actions rather than public warnings.
Asian Para Games: Soumya, Radha clinch gold and silver; Rakshita Raju bags bronze
Digital Desk | Nagoya, Oct 19 (IANS) India's medal tally kept rising at the Asian Para Games as Soumya, Radha Venaktesh and Rakshita Raju added more medals with stellar outings in para-athletics at the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletic Stadium in Nagoya, Japan, on Monday. Soumya (with guide Bharath Kumar) clinched a gold in the Women's 1500m T12/T13 final, while Radha (with guide Govind Solanki) won the silver in the same event. Soumya (T12 athlete) took the top prize with a time of 5:12.39s (621 Raza points), while Radha (T12 athlete) came second with a time of 5:30.90s (421 Raza points). Behind them, Japan's Mana Sasaki (T13) won the bronze medal. Although Sasaki clocked 5:12.15s, she accumulated 336 Raza points and took the bronze. The Raza point system is a mathematical way to compare and rank athletes with different disabilities on a fair and level playing field. In a separate event- the Women's 1500m T11 final- India's Rakshita (with Guide Tabres Khan) won a bronze medal after finishing third with a time of 5:31.45. China's He Shanshan (Guide Zheng Canran) won gold with a time of 4:41.19, while her compatriot Huang Zengli (Guide You Junjie) won silver with a time of 4:55.54. Another Indian, Ravanni Valasanaini (Guide Rahul Balakrishna), was also in the field. However, she finished fourth with a time of 5:41.85 and missed out on a medal. Soumya is a Karnataka-based athlete. Before the Asian Para Games, she won the gold medals in the Asian Youth Para Games (2025), New Delhi Grand Prix (2026), and the Indian Open (2026). Radha is also a Karnataka-based athlete. She won the gold medal in the 2023 Asian Para Games too, and a silver and a bronze in the 2018 Asian Para Games. Radha also has a gold and a silver at the Sharjah Open 2023, a bronze in the World Para Athletics Grand Prix, gold medals in the 4th and 5th Indian Opens, and two silver medals in the 7th and 8th Indian Opens.

Meghalaya: Three more UDP MLAs set to join ruling NPP
Digital Desk | Shillong, Oct 19 (IANS) Three of the four remaining United Democratic Party (UDP) legislators in Meghalaya are likely to join the National People's Party (NPP) on Monday, potentially increasing the ruling party's strength in the 60-member Assembly from 33 to 36, a UDP leader said. UDP leader Paul Lyngdoh said the three legislators would join Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma's party, leaving UDP president Metbah Lyngdoh as the regional party's sole MLA in the state Assembly. The development follows the Meghalaya Assembly Speaker's recognition of the merger of eight UDP legislators with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a decision formally notified on October 16. The recognition reduced the UDP's strength from 12 MLAs to four and increased the BJP's tally from two to 10. The eight legislators Lahkmen Rymbui, Pius Marwein, Kyrmen Shylla, Mayralborn Syiem, Matthew Beyondstar Kurbah, Ollan Singh Suin, Balajied Kupar Synrem and Synshar Kupar Roy Lyngdoh Thabah joined the BJP at its headquarters in New Delhi on September 23. They subsequently submitted a letter to the Assembly Secretariat informing it of their merger with the party. The Speaker recognised the merger under Paragraph 4 of the Tenth Schedule to the Constitution. The UDP had earlier initiated disciplinary action against some of the legislators who switched to the BJP. If the three remaining legislators join the NPP, the UDP will be reduced to a single MLA, marking a major change in the state's regional political landscape. The NPP, BJP and UDP are constituents of the ruling Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA), headed by Conrad Sangma. The latest developments are expected to reshape the balance of political representation within the ruling coalition ahead of the next Assembly election, due in early 2028. The UDP has been a significant regional political force in Meghalaya, where regional parties have traditionally played an important role in coalition governments. The latest switches come amid changing alignments within the MDA, with the BJP expanding its legislative presence and the NPP potentially strengthening its position in the House.

Delhi L-G TS Sandhu directs govt lawyers to strive for better conviction rate
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) Reminding government prosecutors that justice delayed cannot be allowed to become justice denied, Delhi Lieutenant Governor T.S. Sandhu on Monday stressed the need to address avoidable delays and lapses in court trials to ensure that the Directorate of Prosecution achieves a better conviction rate. In a meeting with officials of the Directorate of Prosecution, Sandhu expressed concern over low conviction rates, mounting case pendency and delays in disposal of court matters in the National Capital. Sandhu stressed strengthening pre-trial scrutiny of charge-sheets, minimising adjournments and ensuring timely production of witnesses. In a message on X, Sandhu wrote, Justice delayed cannot become justice denied. Every avoidable delay and lapse must be addressed. Directed all concerned agencies to act with urgency, coordination and accountability to strengthen prosecution and ensure more effective delivery of justice. In another message, he wrote, Reviewed the functioning of the Directorate of Prosecution, GNCTD, today. Expressed concern over low conviction rates, mounting case pendency and delays in disposal. An official statement said that the Lieutenant Governor directed immediate, outcome-oriented measures to improve conviction rates. He stressed stronger monitoring and pressed for an overhaul of case tracking, streamlining file allocation and identifying trial delays. Sandhu also asked the senior officials to ensure delivery of timely justice through the enforcement of the BNSS (Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita) timelines. One of the key suggestions from the Lieutenant Governor was operationalising Trial in Absentia wherever legally applicable, and holding Investigating Officers accountable for investigation quality and evidence collection.

India's smartphone shipments fall 26 pc in Q3: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) India's smartphone shipments fell 26 per cent year-on-year to 35.8 million units in the third quarter of 2026, while Samsung regained the top position in the market, a report said on Monday. According to a report by Omdia, the decline was driven by higher smartphone prices, cautious consumer spending and weaker replacement demand, prompting vendors to adopt more conservative inventory strategies. A slowdown in online-focused shipments and the later timing of Diwali also weighed on volumes, as a significant portion of festive inventory build-up shifted from September to October, it added. Moreover, Samsung regained the top position in the Indian smartphone market for the first time since the first quarter of 2024, shipping 6.7 million units during the quarter. The company benefited from demand for its Galaxy A07, A17 and A27 models, while the Galaxy S26 series, foldable devices and S26 FE strengthened its premium portfolio. Promotional offers including cashback schemes, exchange benefits and extended financing plans also supported upgrades. Apple rounded out the top five with shipments of 3.9 million units, supported by dealer stocking ahead of anticipated price increases and continued demand for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 16 models. However, sales were also aided by cashback offers, exchange programmes and no-cost financing schemes. Meanwhile, vivo slipped in rank with shipments of 6.4 million units, down 34 per cent from a year earlier, the sharpest decline among the top five brands. The report attributed the fall to repeated price increases, inventory planning disruptions and constrained supplies in the entry-level segment. OPPO witnessed shipments of 4.9 million units, down 24 per cent year-on-year, while Xiaomis shipments fell 28 per cent to 4.7 million units. The report further noted that rising component costs affected pricing strategies and weakened value propositions across key product categories for both brands. According to Omdia, the quarter highlighted a structural shift in India's smartphone market as festive-season growth becomes increasingly channel-driven rather than led by large online sales events. India's smartphone market is shifting from online-led shipment expansion during the festive period to more selective, channel-driven growth, challenging vendors' traditional volume strategies, said Sanyam Chaurasia, principal analyst at Omdia. The research firm noted that fewer online-exclusive launches, a limited number of affordable models and narrowing promotional differences reduced the attractiveness of online channels during the festive period. Additionally, Chinese smartphone makers were particularly affected by the trend with their combined market share declining to about 68 per cent in the third quarter from 75 per cent a year earlier. The report has expected the domestic smartphone market to contract by a further low-single-digit percentage in 2027 following a difficult 2026 as vendors contend with rising prices and longer device replacement cycles.

Industry backs RBI, govt measures to support rupee, attract long-term capital
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) Industry body ASSOCHAM on Monday backed recent measures taken by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Finance Ministry to support the rupee and strengthen investor confidence, saying policymakers were pursuing the right approach to attract durable foreign capital flows. Commenting on recent volatility in the rupee and foreign portfolio investor (FPI) flows, ASSOCHAM President Nirmal K. Minda said the industry chamber appreciated the coordinated actions of the RBI and the government to maintain macroeconomic stability amid global uncertainty. His remarks came in response to former RBI Governor D. Subbarao's recent observations that the rupee's long-term strength would ultimately depend on India's ability to attract sustained capital flows backed by strong economic fundamentals. We fully align with Dr. Subbarao's emphasis on durable flows based on fundamentals, and note with appreciation the steps already taken by the government and the RBI, Minda said. The industry body said these actions had helped the rupee recover from recent lows and pointed to the successful completion of the $133 billion FCNR(B) mobilisation window that closed on August 31. ASSOCHAM Chief Economist S.P. Sharma said India's macroeconomic fundamentals remained strong, citing healthy foreign exchange reserves, the RBI's projected GDP growth of 7.1 per cent for FY27 and efforts to keep inflation under control through calibrated monetary tightening. The chamber also welcomed recent measures announced by the Finance Ministry to attract long-term foreign investment. Among them was the Income-tax Amendment Ordinance, 2026 which exempts FPI investments in government securities from taxes on interest income and capital gains with effect from April 1, 2026. Apart from that, the industry also welcomed Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's recent indication that investor feedback on long-term capital gains tax (LTCG) and securities transaction tax (STT) would be considered as part of consultations for the 2027-28 Budget. However, the industry called for continued tax rationalisation, simpler interpretation of tax provisions and consideration of measures that incentivise longer-term equity investment over short-term capital flows. The industry body said it would continue working with the government, RBI and market regulator SEBI to strengthen India's appeal as a destination for long-term global capital.
Weak consumer demand, investment dip drag Chinas economy
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) Chinas economy showed modest improvement in the July-September quarter but remains weighed down by weak domestic demand and a persistent property slump, a report has said. An AI-fuelled export boom of China is covering up the impact of a real estate crisis and weak consumer sentiment, the report from France 24 said. Gross domestic product expanded 4.5 per cent yearonyear in JulySeptember up from 4.3 per cent in the previous quarter, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Beijing has set an annual growth target of 4.55 per cent, its lowest goal in decades. NBS deputy head Mao Shengyong described the international context as complex and volatile, adding that domestic demand was insufficient. The government in late September rolled out mortgage subsidies for certain home purchases and infrastructure support to shore up activity as consumer spending and investment flagged. Though retail sales rose 1.1 per cent last month, the report cited an analyst saying economic momentum remained subdued in September because real retail sales barely grew on an annual basis after adjusting for inflation. Better-than-expected GDP numbers could discourage the government from implementing significant policy shifts in the fourth quarter to achieve annual targets. Industrial production grew 5.5 per cent year-on-year in September, up from 5.2 per cent the previous month as it was helped by strong foreign demand, another expert said. Fixed-asset investment dipped 7.2 percent during the first nine months of the year, the report said, adding that China, the world's largest importer of crude, is under pressure from the high cost of energy caused by the Iran war, which has stymied shipping from the oil-rich Gulf. The International Monetary Fund in the previous week downgraded its projection for China's 2026 growth to 4.5 percent due to the impact of higher energy prices, protracted uncertainty and structural headwinds.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal on Monday alleged that Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, frequently travels abroad during major events in the country, describing his foreign visits as mysterious. Speaking to IANS, Khandelwal said, Whenever there is a major event in the country, Rahul Gandhi often travels abroad at such times. His foreign trips are largely mysterious. Since he is the Leader of the Opposition, it is his responsibility to tell the country where he has travelled over the past two to three years and whom he met during these visits. These are serious questions. Khandelwal further alleged that LoP Gandhi's actions were contradictory, as he spoke about organising protests in the country while travelling abroad. This clearly shows that his protest movement is completely fake and has no substance, the BJP MP claimed. Earlier in the day, BJP National Spokesperson, Pradeep Bhandari, also took a swipe at LoP Gandhi over his reported foreign trip, asking if he was going to meet his chaos collaborators and questioning his absence from India during the Navratri festivities. In a post on X, Bhandari alleged that LoP Gandhi was travelling abroad for a vacation and criticised him over what he described as a lack of focus on political responsibilities. Rahul Gandhi is back to doing what he does best: Taking a break and enjoying a holiday! Rahul Gandhi is reportedly travelling abroad for a vacation. Rahul Gandhi is not in India! During Navratri, what is Rahul Gandhi doing abroad? Enjoying a break, Meeting his chaos collaborators? A man who spends more time chilling than working - and then shouts, Vote Chori! Bhandari posted. Bhandaris remarks came amid continuing political exchanges between the BJP and the Congress, with leaders from both parties frequently targeting each other over public appearances, political activities and allegations concerning electoral processes. Separately, Uttar Pradesh Minister and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief, Om Prakash Rajbhar also targeted LoP Gandhi on social media, referring to the traditional burning of Ravana effigies during Dussehra celebrations. In his post on X, Rajbhar wrote, Rahul Ji, I heard that you left for a foreign trip last night. Couldn't you witness the burning of your friend Ravana right before your eyes? The claims regarding LoP Gandhis travel were presented in the leaders posts. Neither post, by itself, establishes the details or purpose of his reported trip. The leaders' reactions came a day after LoP Gandhi accused the BJP leadership of orchestrating alleged electoral irregularities at a rally in Margao, Goa.

Ranji Trophy: Mizoram's Chinmay Sutar becomes second Indian batter to hit quadruple ton
Digital Desk | Sovima, Oct 19 (IANS) Mizoram batter Chinmay Sutar on Monday has become only the second Indian batter to score a quadruple century in first-class cricket. Sutar achieved this landmark feat when he struck an unbeaten 400 against Nagaland in a Ranji Trophy Plate group match at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima. Playing in just his second first-class game, left-handed Sutar surpassed Prithvi Shaw's 379 to register the second-highest individual score in Ranji Trophy history. Only Bhausaheb Nimbalkar's unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in Pune in 1948/49 stands ahead of Sutar's effort in the competition's record books. Sutar, who was on 392 at tea break, reached the 400-run landmark in the 155th over, after which Mizoram declared at 581/9. In all, he faced 517 balls and hit 46 fours and seven sixes. He was on 231 when the last man, Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak, walked out, and the pair went on to add an unbroken 190 for the tenth wicket. Mizoram, who had ended the opening day on 331/5, slipped to 391/9 on day two before Sutar and Lalrempuia took the game away from Nagaland. Its also a record for the third-highest last-wicket stand in Ranji Trophy history, 43 runs short of the record 233 put on by Ajay Sharma and Maninder Singh for Delhi against Mumbai in 1991/92. Sutar became only the tenth batter to score 400 or more in a first-class innings, joining a list that includes batting greats such as Brian Lara and Don Bradman. Lara holds the record for the highest first-class score with his unbeaten 501 for Warwickshire against Durham in 1994, and also made 400 not out for the West Indies against England in a Test match in 2004. Pakistan's Hanif Mohammed fell one short of 500, and made 499 for Karachi against Bahawalpur in 1959. Sutar had made his Ranji debut for Mizoram in last week's season opener against Manipur after securing a no-objection certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). He scored 35 and 99, being run out one short of a hundred in the second innings, as Mizoram fought back from a 68-run first-innings deficit before losing narrowly by three wickets. Sutar had represented Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in the previous domestic season on the back of strong performances in Mumbai's local leagues. In June, he helped MSC Maratha Royals defend their Mumbai T20 League title and hit back-to-back half-centuries. He finished the season with 212 runs from six innings at a strike rate of nearly 120.

India rejects OIC's resolution featuring J&K
New Delhi, Oct 19: India on Monday strongly trashed an Organisation of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC) resolution on the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, and said the grouping has allowed itself to be misused by Pakistan for its igoted agenda. New Delhi, in a strong reaction, said the references to India by the OIC are malicious, biased and false, and have been orchestrated by Pakistan. We categorically reject the anti-India references in the resolutions of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers' Meeting held in Baghdad on October 17-18, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said. The references to India are malicious, biased and false, and have been orchestrated by Pakistan. We are disappointed that the OIC has once again allowed itself to be misused by Pakistan for its bigoted agenda, it said. The MEA said the OIC has o locus standi whatsoever to comment on matters that are strictly internal to India. The Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are integral and inalienable parts of India. Politically motivated propaganda can never alter this reality. Over the past years since the abrogation of Art 370, Jammu and Kashmir has seen significant economic growth and benefits accruing directly to its people through infrastructure development, tourism and connectivity, it said. This, the MEA said, is in stark contrast to the situation in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir where Islamabad has unleashed violence, repression and brutality on civilian protesters, killing scores of them, including women and children. The MEA said that o amount of media blackout has been able to hide these grave violations of human rights. The only issues related to Jammu and Kashmir that remain to be addressed are Pakistan vacating from areas under its illegal and forcible occupation and ceasing its continued support to cross-border terrorism, it said in a statement. The MEA described other fabricated and hostile references against India in the OIC resolutions including insinuations related to Islamophobia as nothing but a desperate attempt by Pakistan to divert international attention from its own appalling record of minority persecution and sectarian violence. The OIC's repeated endorsement of patently malicious propaganda and narratives peddled by Pakistan raises serious questions about its credibility and integrity. We hope its members would do better and reform this organisation, it added.

New Delhi , Oct 19 : All India Students Association (AISA) president Neha Bora has moved the Delhi High Court, challenging a notice issued by a Special Executive Magistrate directing her to show cause why she should not execute a personal bond of Rs 10,000 with one surety to maintain peace during an inquiry. In her petition, Bora has sought quashing of the October 17 notice issued under Sections 126 and 130 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, along with all proceedings arising from it. She has also sought directions to the authorities not to take any coercive action against her pursuant to the notice. The petition states that Bora was called upon to appear before the Special Executive Magistrate on October 19 and explain why she should not be required to furnish the bond under Section 135(3) of the BNSS. Challenging the notice, Bora has alleged that it does not disclose any material to substantiate the apprehension of a breach of peace and fails to specify the period, occasion or event in relation to which such a breach is anticipated. According to the petition, the notice cites sloganeering at Mandi House on October 16, repeated protests around Jantar Mantar despite prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS, and an allegation that Bora instigated people to participate in a demonstration at Connaught Place on the same day. Bora has disputed the allegation concerning the Connaught Place demonstration, contending that her call was for a peaceful gathering at Mandi House at 5 pm on October 16. She has submitted that she was detained from Mandi House and that the gathering she had called for was different from the demonstration referred to in the notice. The petition further contends that the authorities have not supplied the underlying order and material relied upon to initiate the proceedings, thereby preventing her from effectively responding to the allegations. It also questions the reliance on prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS, arguing that the notice does not identify the specific order or incident allegedly violated. The plea states that an order dated August 23, issued by the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sub-Division Parliament Street, did not cover Mandi House and exempted Jantar Mantar Road. The August 23 order prohibited meetings, slogans, speeches and assemblies of five or more people across the sub-division for 60 days, until October 21, subject to the specified exemption. Bora has argued that preventive proceedings cannot be initiated merely on the basis of participation in or a call for a peaceful protest, and that the authorities must demonstrate a proximate likelihood of a breach of peace. The petition alleges that the notice is vague, rests on incorrect factual assertions and amounts to an arbitrary exercise of preventive powers. The plea also invokes the fundamental rights to freedom of speech and expression, peaceful assembly and personal liberty under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution. According to the petition, Bora was detained at Mandi House at around 5.30 pm on October 16, taken to an undisclosed location and subsequently to RK Puram police station, where she was held overnight. She was released at around 6 am on October 17. The notice issued by the Special Executive Magistrate followed the detention and required her to appear on October 19. Bora has contended that failure to grant relief would expose her to the possibility of being directed to execute the bond, with the prospect of detention in the event of non-compliance. The petition comes in the backdrop of the proposed Lehra Do Tiranga march and demonstrations, scheduled for October 16, concerning the Election Commissions Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. Protesters had also sought accountability from Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)'s Abhijeet Dipke was also detained ahead of the proposed march. According to the earlier account of the police action, proceedings under Sections 126 and 170 of the BNSS were initiated against him, and he was released after appearing before a Special Executive Magistrate and executing a peace bond. The present petition seeks quashing of the notice dated October 17 and protection against coercive action arising from the proceedings. The matter concerns the legality of the preventive action initiated against Bora following the events of October 16.
