Iranian delegation faced high-security risk on way back from Pakistan
New Delhi, Apr 15:It was a high-security risk for the Iranian delegation to return home from Islamabad, as they faced potential threats of attack from Israel and other hostile groups. Under the shadow of heightened regional tensions, extensive precautions were taken to ensure their safe passage back to Tehran, reflecting the fragile and volatile security environment following the failed negotiations. The delegation reportedly adopted a complex, multi-layered travel strategy - switching aircraft mid-route and using a combination of train and road transport - to avoid detection and minimize the risk of any aerial or covert strike. The elaborate measures underscored the volatile security environment surrounding the failed talks and the perceived threats facing Irans top leadership, Lebanon based Al- Mayadeen newspaper reported. The Iranian delegation faced urgent security threats on Monday while en route to Islamabad, Pakistan, for ceasefire negotiation talks with the United States, Prof Mohammad Marandi, who accompanied the delegation, told the Lebanese news outlet that they were warned of a potential attack on their aircraft, prompting heightened caution during and after the visit. On the way back to Tehran after talks ended, the group took an alternative route after confirming that the delegation was under attack, he said. Marandi said the aircraft was diverted from its original route and landed in Mashhad in Iran, after which the delegation continued to Tehran by train, car and bus. He said the move was taken following security warnings. We received direct threats and credible intelligence indicating that the Iranian delegations plane to Islamabad could be attacked, Marandi said. He said that the return journey was altered after the alert. The plane changed its route, landed in Mashhad, and the delegation was transferred by train and vehicles to Tehran, Marandi said. He also pointed to the timing of the development, linking it to broader diplomatic tensions. Negotiations ended very abruptly and that it was simultaneous with the opinion piece in the Washington Post, Marandi said, adding that it was very close to the CIA. After talks with the United States delegation, led by Vice President J D Vance, collapsed, the delegation decided to return home despite high security risk. Everyone boarded the aircraft and no one wanted to stay back in Islamabad.

'It Was Fantastic': Patidar Hails RCB Bowlers After Emphatic Win Over LSG
Skipper Rajat Patidar: Skipper Rajat Patidar lauded his bowling unit and fielding effort after Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secured a convincing five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 23 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. RCB produced a clinical all-round performance, first restricting LSG to 146 and then chasing down the target comfortably in 15.1 overs to climb to the top of the points table. Reflecting on the bowling performance, Patidar was full of praise for his attack. It was fantastic on the bowling. I think the good thing was that we won the toss. And the way the fast bowlers hit the deck was nice to watch. Even I don't know what he's going to bowl next, but I would say he's a very courageous bowler on Krunal Pandya. And at the same time, Suyash's stump-to-stump bowling was tremendous to watch, He said in the post-match presentation. RCBs new-ball pair of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood once again set the tone with disciplined spells, and Patidar highlighted the value of having experienced bowlers in a T20 setup. Of course, for a captain, if you have specialist bowlers in T20 leagues, it makes the job easier because you don't have to tell them what to do next. The experience and ideas are helping all the other bowlers as well. He also credited the teams improved fielding standards, which have been a focus area throughout the tournament. The team has been working on fielding intensity since the start of the IPL. That was followed by Phil Salt, and he usually takes those one-handed and flying catches. It was a great catch for him. Despite RCBs strong start to the season and their return to the top of the table, Patidar remained grounded about their title prospects.

He emphasised that while previous governments kept the issue of womens reservation entangled in political deadlock, it was Prime Minister Narendra Modis strong will and commitment that translated this long-pending demand into reality. In a strong endorsement of womens political empowerment, the Leader of Opposition hailed the Naari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, 2023 as a historic and visionary reform driven by the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It marks the culmination of decades of struggle to ensure rightful political representation for women. Delaying womens representation weakens the very foundation of democracy and the Modi governments push for early implementation of the Act reflects its seriousness in ensuring inclusive governance, he said. Sunil Sharma, who graced the occasion as special guest, remarked that the legislation completed the journey from social and economic empowerment to full political empowerment of women, laying the foundation for a stronger, more balanced democracy. The event witnessed the participation of a wide cross-section of women representation from society including five Inner Wheel teams, ex-DDCs, ex-BDCs, ex-Councillors, former Sarpanches, ex-Panchs, heads and members, Self-Help Groups, social activists, members of Swadeshi Jagran Manch, Durga Vahini, Modi Jagran Manch, WWAO, BJP Mahila Morcha, advocates, doctors and citizens from different walks of life. Prominent among those present on the occasion included BJP J&K vice president and former minister Priya Sethi, BJP spokespersons Purnima Sharma (former Deputy Mayor) and Rajni Sethi, Veenu Khanna, Veena Handa, Amita Sharma, Saavmya Pramukh besides others. Purnima Sharma, in coordination with other women organisations organised the whole event. Earlier, welcoming the gathering, Purnima Sharma, termed the Naari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam a historic structural reform, stating that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India moved from women development to women-led development, ensuring womens rightful place in governance. Ritu Singh, entrepreneur, philanthropist and founder of Delhi Public Schools said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a decades-old demand for womens political reservation was fulfilled. She highlighted that earlier attempts had failed due to political deadlock, but this legislation paved the way for equal participation of women in governance. She remarked that the Act would lay the foundation for a stronger and more inclusive democracy. Varsha Bansal, chairperson of FICCI FLO J&K-Ladakh, elaborated on the core provisions of the Act, stating that the legislation aimed at providing 33 percent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies, including within SC and ST reserved seats, made possible under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She highlighted that despite women forming nearly 50 percent of Indias population, their representation in Parliament remained around 1314percent, calling the Act a much-needed corrective step. She said the move from 14 percent to 33 percent represented a structural correction in Indian democracy and would ensure inclusive and balanced governance. Educationist Anthony emphasised that the Act, brought under the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would go beyond representation and had the potential to transform governance outcomes. She noted that greater participation of women would strengthen sectors like education, healthcare, nutrition and social welfare. She said, India, which currently lags behind the global average of womens representation, will benefit significantly from this reform. The initiative will inspire young girls to aspire for leadership roles. A representative from Vidyarthi Parishad stated that under Prime Minister Narendra Modis leadership, a long-pending reform was finally realised after decades of delay. Referring to the success of womens reservation in Panchayati Raj institutions, the speaker said the Act would take the empowerment from grassroots to Parliament and urged youth to support this transformation. The speakers also highlighted that under the policies and initiatives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, women empowerment was strengthened across sectorsbe it financial inclusion, social dignity, healthcare support, or economic opportunitiesand the Act would be a natural extension of those efforts into political representation.
