Traders in Delhi have urged Rahul Gandhi to delay the November rally until after Bhai Dooj. This request is aimed at preventing business disruptions during the peak Diwali season.

Using terrorism as instrument of statecraft simply unacceptable: Jaishankar

New Delhi, Oct 25: The use of terrorism as an instrument of statecraft is simply unacceptable, and it can never be justified or rationalised, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday and flagged that it continues because ot all states really display zero tolerance for the menace. Despite history holding so many lessons on it, some still allow political calculations to take precedence, he said in his address at an event here without naming any country. At an event held here to mark the 75th anniversary of Chinmaya Mission, the minister underlined the importance of peace, especially amid the ongoing conflicts in the world, and cautioned that war anywhere threatens peace everywhere. He cited the two major conflicts going on in the world, in Ukraine and in West Asia, and said societies and economies and people far away who have little say in the matter are actually paying the cost. We cannot remain helpless spectators. India expresses global sentiment when we urge that dialogue and diplomacy are the only solution, the EAM said. The minister underlined that India is making efforts towards peace building and is open to working with other partners to that end. Terrorism is another deadly threat to peace. Its usage as an instrument of statecraft is simply unacceptable. It can never be justified. It can never be rationalised. Yet it continues because not all states really display zero tolerance. Despite history holding so many lessons, some still allow political calculations to take precedence, Jaishankar said. The world must, therefore, develop sharper awareness about this common threat, and it must come together with stronger resolve and counter terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, he said. Jaishankar delivered the address in the presence of UN Resident Coordinator in India, Stefan Priesner, who also shared the dais with him. The external affairs minister underlined that progress and prosperity are the flip side of conflicts and violence and are equally indivisible. The world cannot advance half prosperous and half denied. In an era of intricate supply chains, of globalised markets, and of common resources, this is simply a prescription for continuous instability, he cautioned. Jaishankar reiterated that the Global South today faces a '4F' crisis -- of finance, fuel, food and fertiliser and said the Global North must realise that it has equal stakes in finding solutions. The international economy must be urgently derisked and nations provided with more diversified options. Market distortions through constriction and chokepoints only add to suffering. A genuine dialogue in this regard is overdue, the minister said. In his address, he also said the United Nations must show leadership, and ot be a spectator to global crises, while asserting that the case for eformed multilateralism gets stronger by the day. We know we live in an imperfect world. But we all continuously strive towards greater perfection, Jaishankar said. As far as the UN is concerned, that means ecognising its shortcomings and limitations and seeking improvement, the minister added. The case for reformed multilateralism gets stronger by the day. Large parts of the world cannot be left out from decision-making. The UN must show leadership, not be a spectator to global crisis, Jaishankar said. The Union minister also emphasised that people have witnessed perpetual arguments between those who stress competitiveness and others who see a virtue in cooperation. These may be individual or even societal predicaments, but on the global stage, they translate into how nations behave with one another, he said. On the role of evolving technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI) in reshaping the world, Jaishankar said that humankind now really stands at the crossroads. AI promises to be the mother of all change. But something so sweeping, something so consequential, it cannot be left in the hands of just a few. That would go counter to the trends of freedom and democratisation that the world has seen over the last 80 years, he said. For this reason, India is a strong advocate of a esponsible, inclusive, and human-centric approach, he said. That is a recognition of AI's universal applicability and of the need to develop a wider perspective, the EAM added. Emphasising India's development cooperation with a large number of countries, and helping them out in times of need and crises, he said, for India, the ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is practised, it is not merely preached.

Delhi Police bust Jamtara-based cyber fraud syndicate, 2 held for credit card fraud

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) Delhi Police have busted an alleged cyber fraud syndicate operating from Jharkhand and arrested two men, including a B.Tech graduate, for allegedly cheating more than 50 people through fraudulent credit card transactions while impersonating as bank officials, officials said on Sunday. The accused were identified as Aftab Ansari, age 24, and Abdul Majid, age 23. The Cyber Police Station of Shahdara district arrested the two in Jharkhands Dhanbad district after a four-day operation. They recovered three mobile phones allegedly containing WhatsApp chats and other digital evidence linked to fraud. According to police, the investigation began after a complaint by Tarnjeet Singh, who alleged that unidentified persons posing as HDFC Bank officials contacted him over the phone and WhatsApp, claiming they could help him update his credit card Know Your Customer (KYC) details. The complainant subsequently discovered unauthorized transactions on his credit cards The police traced a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra worth Rs 1,39,999, purchased using the disputed credit card transactions on JioMart, to a delivery address in the Jharia area of Dhanbad district. After conducting surveillance and field verification for four days, the team devised a trap with the assistance of a delivery agent. Police arranged a decoy mobile phone delivery at a location allegedly used by the suspects. The two accused arrived to receive the purported delivery and were apprehended, officials said. During the operation, two mobile phones were recovered from Ansari and one from Majid. The devices reportedly contained WhatsApp conversations and other digital material relevant to the investigation. According to the police, the accused and their associates used social media platforms, including Facebook, to advertise assistance with credit card KYC updates to lure victims. Interested people were directed to online forms through which their personal and contact details were collected. Mostly, unsuspecting individuals above 50 years of age were targeted by the fraudsters, who posed as bank officials and offered supposed assistance with KYC verification through video calls. In these video calls, victims were asked to display their credit card details, including card numbers and CVV, on camera and share their mobile phone screens under the pretext of completing electronic verification. Police suspect that this enabled the accused to access the one-time passwords received on the victims' devices and carry out unauthorised online transactions. The fraudsters allegedly used compromised credit card details to purchase expensive mobile phones through online shopping platforms. The devices were delivered to locations in Jharkhand and West Bengal, away from the accuseds home district, to avoid detection. Police said the phones were subsequently sold in local markets at comparatively lower prices. Since the devices were sealed and accompanied by a purchase invoice, they appeared legitimate. Preliminary investigation suggests that almost 50 people were deceived like that. Police are still verifying the number of victims and the total number of people involved in the crime, presuming that it could be a whole network of other members. Delhi police have advised the public not to share credit card details, CVVs, OTP or PINs over phone or video calls, or share mobile screens with unknown people.

Jamia Millia Islamia protest continues for 14th day, students firm on three key demands

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) The protest at Jamia Millia Islamia entered its 14th day on Sunday, as students continued the sit-in demonstration inside the campus, demanding the restoration of their union body. Security officials have been deployed outside the campus gate as a precaution. The protesting students are demanding the restoration of the Jamia Millia Islamia University Students' Union (JMIUSU), the revocation of the suspension of students, and action against those responsible for the alleged use of force during the protests. Speaking to IANS amidst the ongoing protests at Jamia Millia Islamia, student Anish Khan stressed that while the initial primary demand was the restoration of the students' union, the movement has since expanded to include three key demands. The first is the restoration of the students' union. The second concerns the actions taken against protesting students on October 17... students were treated harshly, with many facing disciplinary measures such as suspensions, show-cause notices, and bans from entering the campus, he said. The third demand, he said, calls for action against those accused of mistreating students during the protests. He also demanded the resignation of the university Proctor. Another student, Farhan Israel, speaking to IANS, said, The Jamia Millia Islamia students' union must be restored. Furthermore, the university Proctor and the chief security advisor should resign. Additionally, all disciplinary actions taken against the students must be revoked. Regarding the controversial slogans written on the walls, he said: It has not yet been confirmed that any slogans were written. Even if they were, they must have been written by people from the RSS or ABVP. Such actions are being taken to divert attention from our issues. We will not back down until our demands are met. The university administration is attempting to forcibly end our protest, which is why they have deployed security forces. An argument broke out between the students and the security officials at the university's Gate No. 4 over entry restrictions. Students without hostel identification cards were denied entry, which led to a brief commotion at the gate. However, the situation was soon brought under control. Meanwhile, amid the protests, the university has decided to conduct classes for all courses online.

Beyond heartbreak: How anger, fear and shock can temporarily stun the heart

Intense grief is not the only emotion that can affect the heart -- extreme anger, fear or shock can temporarily weaken the heart's pumping ability, triggering a rare condition known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or roken heart syndrome, experts said. Usually associated with a sudden surge of stress hormones following an intense emotional or physical event, the condition can be triggered by bereavement, relationship breakdown or extreme anger, highlighting the complex link between emotional stress and cardiovascular health. A sudden and intense emotional episode, including extreme anger, can trigger a powerful adrenaline response and temporarily affect the heart muscle's ability to contract normally. The trigger need not always be sadness or grief, said Dr Rajiv Narang, Head of the Department of Cardiology at AIIMS, Delhi. The condition can mimic an acute heart attack, with patients experiencing sudden chest pain, breathlessness, sweating or palpitations. An electrocardiogram may

Admitting that he was a possessive lover, Shah Rukh said that he was like a dog. He added that he would not allow his girlfriend to keep her hair open or wear a white shirt. I was very possessive. I was like a dog. I was downright vulgar and sick..Like if you were my girlfriend, you would not be allowed to keep open hair and wear white shirt, said the 'Devdas' actor. Confirming this about her husband, Gauri pitched in saying that she even threatened to leave him if he did not change. He was disgusting, he was sick! And he had to learn because I said 'Okay bye, I would never see you again', Gauri added.

Initially shy and nervous around her, the two eventually got to know each other. Their courtship period was full of ups and downs, and they even went through periods of separation. However, they found their way back to each other. After overcoming many hurdles, Shah Rukh and Gauri finally got married on 25 October 1991. Their wedding included both Hindu wedding rituals and a Nikah ceremony, as a mark of respect for each other's faiths.

'China's manufacturing model faces global resistance'

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) Chinas economic model, which catapulted the communist nation into becoming a factory for the world, is no longer politically tenable as it has resulted in hurting industries in other countries, which has led to a loss of jobs and slowed down growth, according to an article. The article on the Time news website highlights that the United States has imposed hefty tariffs and export controls on Chinese goods, while multinational companies have adopted China plus one strategies with an emphasis on supply chain resilience. Chinas manufacturing dominance is generating resistance. And not only in America. Europe worries about the erosion of its industrial base. Developing countries welcome Chinese investment and admire aspects of Chinas development experience, but still ask a reasonable question: where, in this model, is our development? the article by Chinese economist Keyu Jin contends. It points out that for years, Western companies complained that access to Chinas huge market came with demands for technology transfers. Now, China finds itself on the other side of the table, being asked to share its own expertise. The article sees a new model of Chinese globalisation emerging, which is not simply exporting the products of Chinas industrial ecosystem, but giving other countries access to the knowledge embedded within it. The article observes that such a shift is already under way. In Brazil, BYD is moving from importing cars to manufacturing them locally and developing local suppliers. In Hungary, it is pairing its first European passenger-car factory with a research and development centre that will work with Hungarian universities and companies. In Indonesia, Chinese investment is helping to build an integrated battery industry stretching from nickel processing to battery production and recycling. These early examples point to a different relationship with the world: one based less on exporting what China makes than on exporting the capability to make it. Most countries do not simply want to buy Chinese electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels, machinery, and robots. They want factories of their own. They want their workers to acquire new skills and their suppliers to move up the value chain. They want technology and know-how, the article contends.

Human rights, ESG reporting remain weak among Pakistan-listed firms: Report

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) Pakistan's publicly listed companies continue to face challenges in corporate transparency, particularly in areas related to human rights, environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures, and anti-corruption measures, according to Transparency International Pakistan's latest corporate reporting assessment. The Transparency in Corporate Reporting Assessment (TRAC) 2026, which evaluated 104 public limited companies listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, awarded an average score of 66.73 per cent, or 6.67 out of 10, according to Geo TV report. The score was lower than the 72.3 per cent average recorded in the previous edition, which had assessed 69 companies. None of the companies surveyed achieved a perfect transparency score. However, Oil and Gas Development Company (OGDC), Fauji Cement Company Limited and Sazgar Engineering Works Limited emerged as the top performers, with overall scores of 92.71 per cent, 91.67 per cent and 91.04 per cent, respectively. The report identified human rights and corporate social responsibility disclosures as the weakest area, with companies scoring an average of just 45.98 per cent. ESG-related disclosures followed closely behind at 47.84 per cent, while transparency around anti-corruption programmes averaged 53.41 per cent. The findings point to significant gaps in publicly available information related to corporate accountability and responsible business practices, as per the report. In contrast, companies performed strongly in disclosing organisational structures and domestic financial information. Organisational transparency recorded an average score of 92.49 per cent, while domestic financial reporting scored 92.50 per cent, placing both categories in the report's highest transparency range. The assessment also examined disclosures on gender equality, non-discrimination and disability inclusion. Companies scored an average of 68.11 per cent in this category. However, the report highlighted shortcomings in disability inclusion initiatives and the disclosure of grievance mechanisms for reporting discriminatory practices. Within the human rights and CSR category, Fauji Cement was the only company to achieve full transparency. The assessment reviewed disclosures related to human rights due diligence, child labour prevention, employee safety, wage payment systems and grievance procedures. The report further pointed to weaknesses in anti-corruption reporting, particularly regarding employee training, communication of anti-corruption policies and mechanisms for reporting corruption-related concerns. OGDC, Fatima Fertiliser Company Limited, Pakistan Tobacco Company Limited and Lucky Core Industries Limited recorded the strongest performance in this category.
