Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 10 (IANS) Veteran actress Saira Banu wished Rekha on her birthday by revisiting some fond memories from their days at the Filmistan. In her latest post on social media, Saira Banu recalled how Rekha used to admire her makeup. She uploaded some throwback photographs of Rekha with her and Dilip Kumar on Saturday. Wishing her, Saira Banu wrote, Happy Birthday, my dear Rekha! There is something very special about certain artistes who, beyond all the glamour and adulation that surrounds them, remain true to the very essence of who they are. Rekha, you have always held that rare quality, a beautiful individuality that has made you an unforgettable part of our cinematic heritage. (sic). Reflecting on their association and their fond memories together, Saira Banu added, Ours has been a relationship that goes back many, many years, and it is lovely to see how, with the passage of time and a little more leisure at our disposal, we have found ourselves getting to know each other better. Some of my fondest memories go back to our days at Filmistan, when I would be shooting on one set and Rekha would be working on another, quite close by. She would often drop into my makeup room, where the wonderful Dinu Endulkar, an exceptionally gifted makeup artiste trained by a British makeup expert, would be working his magic. Rekha would sit on the sofa, watching him work on my eyes, and say to me, Saira Ji, I want to copy these eyes the way Dinu does them for you! I can still picture her sitting there, observing every little detail with such interest, she went on to write. Saira Banu further revealed that Rekha always had the most affectionate admiration for her mother. She admired her exquisite visage and the grace with which she carried herself. It has always touched me that she appreciated not merely my mothers beauty, but also her bearing and her manner. And I must say, dear Rekha, that my admiration for you has always been just as heartfelt, concluded the post.

Pakistans continuous use of cross-border terrorism deepens instability across South Asia

Digital Desk | Brussels, Oct 10 (IANS) Pakistans continuous use of cross-border terrorism has deepened instability across South Asia, imposing a heavy economic and social burden on India after decades of proxy war, a report has stated. Islamabad has used terrorism both as a weapon and a war of endurance, with the apparent aim of weakening India over the long term. Despite this, the resilience of Indian people and its institutions have enabled the country to withstand the pressure, according to a report in the European Times. Terrorism has become one of the most corrosive burdens India has had to bear, not only in the lives lost but in the social, emotional, and economic scars it leaves behind. At the heart of this tragedy lies Pakistans deliberate strategy of enabling crossborder militancy, a proxy war designed to destabilize India and drain its resources. What Islamabad presents as a defensive doctrine has in reality become an undeclared war of attrition, forcing India into a perpetual cycle of vigilance, mobilisation, and loss, the report detailed. For Pakistans military establishment, India has long been cast as an existential threat. To counter this imagined peril, it cultivated militant networks, offering sanctuary, training, and logistical support. Recruitment initially targeted Kashmiri youth, but quickly expanded to foreign fighters hardened by the AfghanSoviet war, it added. Backed by Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the recruits underwent training at camps in Pakistan where they were taught weapons handling, explosives, guerrilla tactics and survival skills. It noted that infiltrators were assisted in crossing the Line of Control by guides and terrain advantages, alongside alleged military cover from the Pakistan Army. It said weapons, encrypted communications and funding moved through ISI channels, sympathetic donors, narcotics trafficking and extortion. Highlighting the major terror attack carried out by Pakistan-based terrorist groups in India, the report said, The 2001 Parliament attack, carried out by JaisheMohammed and LashkareTaiba operatives trained in Pakistan, struck at the very heart of Indian democracy. The 2008 Mumbai attacks, meticulously planned from Pakistani soil, killed 166 people and injured over 300, turning Mumbai into a war zone for three harrowing days. The 2016 Uri attack claimed 19 soldiers, prompting retaliatory surgical strikes. The 2019 Pulwama bombing killed 40 CRPF personnel, reigniting tensions and leading to aerial confrontations. It further cited the 2025 Pahalgam terrorist attack, which saw a Pakistan-based terrorist group gun down 26 people, predominantly Hindu tourists, underscoring the continuing threat. Emphasising that Indias resilience in the face of this terror campaign remains undeniable, the report said, Yet the implications of terrorist attacks on society, in terms of the psychological scars and the financial burden, remain immense. Terrorism has scarred generations, reshaped national priorities, and imposed a heavy toll on growth and stability.

Indias office sector sees net absorption surge by 26 pc in July-Sep

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 10 (IANS) Indias office market saw strong momentum in Q3 2026 (July-September), with net absorption across the top eight cities reaching 14.1 million square feet (MSF) up 26 per cent quarter-on-quarter, a report said on Saturday. The report from Cushman & Wakefield said the growth was supported by healthy occupier demand and a significant increase in new office completions during the quarter. Net absorption moderated by 18 per cent on a year-on-year basis against a strong Q3 2025 base, which saw the highest quarterly absorption of the year. Hyderabad with 4.1 million sq ft (MSF) of absorption and Bengaluru with 4 MSF led absorption during the quarter. Hyderabad accounted for 29 per cent of the pan-India total and marked its highest quarterly level since Q4 2021. Net absorption across the top eight cities stood at 36.7 MSF on a year-to-date (YTD) basis. Gross Leasing Volume (GLV) across the top eight cities stood at nearly 22 MSF in Q3 2026, registering a 3 per cent quarterly increase. Bengaluru continued to lead leasing activity with 5.2 million sq ft, accounting for 24 per cent of the quarterly volume followed by Hyderabad at 4.2 million sq ft, Mumbai at 3.9 MSF and Delhi NCR at 3.8 MSF. Year to date (YTD) leasing in 2026 reached 64.6 MSF, marking the highest-ever volume recorded during the first nine months of any year. Leasing during the first nine months has already reached approximately 74 per cent of the full-year 2025 volume. Fresh leasing continued to account for the bulk of YTD activity at nearly 75 per cent. Meanwhile, the share of pre-commitments increased to nearly 12 per cent, reflecting occupiers focus on securing quality office space ahead of project completions. Global Capability Centres (GCCs) remained a key driver of office demand, leasing 9.1 MSF in Q3 2026 and accounting for 42 per cent of total quarterly GLV. Bengaluru and Pune saw particularly strong GCC concentration, with the segment contributing approximately 65 per cent of leasing activity in each market. From a sectoral perspective, BFSI emerged as the largest demand driver in Q3 2026, accounting for 24 per cent of total leasing activity, followed by IT-BPM at 22 per cent. GCCs have been pivotal to this momentum, as global enterprises continue to expand both their presence and capabilities in India. This demand is underpinned by a deep talent pool, cost competitiveness and Indias growing importance within global business strategies, said Anshul Jain, Chief Executive India, SEA, MEA & APAC Office and Retail, Cushman & Wakefield. As occupiers continue to take a longer-term view of their portfolios, we remain confident in the sustained growth trajectory of Indias office market, he said.

AAP convenor Kejriwal and AISA's Neha Bora detained amid protests against CEC

New Delhi , October 10: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and All India Students' Association (AISA) leader Neha Bora were detained by Delhi Police amid protests against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Following his detention, Kejriwal took to X and shared a video in which he said that the country's youth had awakened and asserted that the protesters would not be intimidated. In the video, Kejriwal, who was accompanied by AAP leader Sanjay Singh, said, We have been detained by the police. Sanjay Singh is here with me. The youth of the country has awakened. We are not going to be intimidated by Modi's tyranny. Now, Gyanesh Kumar will have to resign. People will not tolerate this stealing of votes anymore. You all should also come out of your homes and fight to save the country. Meanwhile, AISA leader Neha Bora also claimed that she has been detained. We have been detained. But it does not matter. To my fellow Gen Z: This is our 1942. Their jails can hold a few of us but not all of us. Wherever any of us is stopped today, we sit down right there and begin. Every corner becomes Jantar Mantar, Bora wrote. In another post, Bora said, UPDATE: I am in detention. The movement is not. People are assembling at SAFDARJUNG FLYOVER right now. If you can, reach. If you are stopped, sit down where you are and hold the line, she said. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also criticised the developments in the national capital, referring to the government's leadership in a post on X. Seeing what is happening in the nation's capital today it is tempting to recall the old saying : But the fact is that this is what has defined the Diabolical Duo for years. The so-called is actually a fast crumbling , Ramesh wrote. Meanwhile, around 1,000 protesters have been detained across the national capital so far on Saturday while attempting to march towards Jantar Mantar for a Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Delhi Police sources said. Delhi Police continued to take demonstrators into preventive custody after informing them that permission had not been granted for the gathering. CJP activist Abhijeet Dipke, who travelled from Mumbai to Delhi to participate in the protest, posted a video on Instagram alleging that police personnel detained him and his associates as they disembarked from their flight at Delhi Airport.

Star Power Meets Exuberance Of Youth As 92nd Ranji Trophy Season Kicks Off From Sunday

T20 World Cup: The 92nd edition of the Ranji Trophy begins from Sunday, with much-needed star power meeting the exuberance of youth in India's premier domestic red-ball competition. The first round will see a handful of high-profile India internationals feature before joining the India A squad for the shadow three-game red-ball tour of New Zealand. With everyones attention on India's T20 World Cup defence at home, the Ranji Trophy happenings initially flew under the radar before exploding on to the spotlight as Jammu & Kashmir clinched their historic maiden title triumph in Hubbali led by Auqib Nabis 60 scalps, which led to him getting an international debut against the West Indies in Guwahati ODI last month. As J&K prepare to defend their crown and whether they will be able to do it will make for an interesting watch. The Paras Dogra-led side will be aiming to bounce back against Madhya Pradesh in Srinagar after suffering a defeat to Rest of India in the Irani Cup. The opening round of the 2026/27 season is set to be a blockbuster. KL Rahul (Karnataka), Yashasvi Jaiswal (Mumbai), Ravindra Jadeja (Saurashtra), Mohammed Siraj (Hyderabad), Manav Suthar (Rajasthan), Washington Sundar (Tamil Nadu), Mukesh Kumar and Akash Deep (Bengal) are set to feature in the first round for their respective teams. For some, the Ranji Trophy will be a crucial window for pressing claims for being back in national reckoning like for Mumbais Sarfaraz Khan and Karnatakas Karun Nair. Youngsters such as Mumbais Ayush Mhatre and Jharkhand's left-handed opener Shikhar Mohan will look to enhance their reputation in red-ball cricket. Veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who toiled hard to claim 37 wickets last season, is also back in action. Shami, who along with Mukesh and Akash, will be in Bengal, who take on Delhi in Kalyani, will be eager to break back into the Test set-up after seeing his India new-ball partner Bhuvneshwar Kumar earn a T20I recall for the upcoming tour of New Zealand. Delhi, meanwhile, restart their race for red-ball glory by sporting a revamped support staff following the appointments of former India wicketkeeper-batter Vijay Dahiya as head coach and Rajkumar Sharma, childhood coach of batting stalwart Virat Kohli, as the team mentor. Eyes of the four-member selection panel will also be on Vidarbha's Harsh Dubey, Praful Hinge, Yash Rathod, and Uttar Pradesh leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari. Seasoned campaigners such as Umesh Yadav (Punjab), Harshal Patel (Gujarat), Mandeep Singh and Hanuma Vihari (both Tripura) will shoulder vital mentorship roles. While the opening round belongs to India's marquee names, the coming weeks will test if a new crop of domestic heroes can rise from the relative obscurity to reshape the national red-ball talent pool. With Arunachal Pradesh at risk of forfeiting their game against Nagaland due to the ongoing legal dispute between two factions of the Arunachal Cricket Association (ACA), it remains to be seen when the legal deadlock will end so that the states cricketers dont miss out on a season of showcasing their talent. Ranji Trophy 2026-27 season groups: Group A: Bihar, Baroda, Goa, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Pondicherry, Uttar Pradesh and Vidarbha. Group B: Karnataka, Andhra, Saurashtra, Chhattisgarh, Hyderabad, Tripura, Punjab, and Assam. Group C: Bengal, Delhi, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Kerala, Maharashtra, Services and Odisha. Group D: Mumbai, Rajasthan, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Railways. Plate Group: Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Sikkim, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh.

Kunal Kapoor calls out Elon Musks saviour complex amid Starlink row: script rarely changes, only the country does

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 10 (IANS) Actor Kunal Kapoor has taken a dig at Elon Musk amid the controversy surrounding Starlinks entry into India, further describing the situation as a fascinating character study in the saviour complex of Western tech billionaires. In a strongly worded post on his social media account, Kunal questioned the attitude of influential technology entrepreneurs who, according to him, arrive in countries promising progress but react negatively when their proposals face resistance from local institutions. Drawing parallels with Musks past controversies in Thailand and Brazil, the actor argued that the underlying pattern remains the same, even as the country changes. Sharing his views, Kunal wrote, Watching Elon Musk this week has been a fascinating character study in the saviour complex of Western tech billionaires. They arrive in your country selling you the future. Welcome them, and youre a country that wants progress. Make them wait, and suddenly your people are victims who need rescuing from their own institutions by the chosen one. The actor went on to cite the 2018 Thailand cave rescue, during which 12 young football players and their coach were trapped inside the Tham Luang cave complex. Musk had proposed a mini-submarine to assist in the rescue, but the device was not used by the rescue team. British diver Vernon Unsworth, who participated in the rescue, had criticised the proposal as impractical. Musk then had attacked Unsworth on social media, referring to him as the pedo guy, triggering widespread criticism. Referring to the incident, Kunal wrote, Its a pattern. When Thai rescuers didnt use the mini-submarine Musk sent for the trapped boys, and diver Vernon Unsworth called the idea impractical, Musk attacked him as the pedo guy. Kunal also brought up Musks confrontation with Brazils Supreme Court over its orders concerning X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. For the uninitiated, in 2024, the platform was suspended in Brazil after it failed to comply with court orders, including requirements relating to legal representation. Musk publicly criticised the court and its judge during the dispute. Highlighting the episode, Kunal wrote, When Brazils Supreme Court ordered X to comply with its rulings, Musk called the judge a dictator. The script rarely changes. Only the country does. The actor added, The colonial mindset isnt always about wanting to rule a country. Sometimes its the assumption that you arrive as its saviour, and if the country doesnt immediately recognise you as one, something must be wrong with the country. Kunals remarks come amid a debate over Starlinks proposed entry into the Indian market. The satellite internet service, operated by Musks SpaceX, has been seeking the necessary regulatory approvals to offer commercial services in the country. Ahead, Elon Musk has also alleged that certain powerful business interests in India are attempting to prevent Starlinks entry to protect their market position.

'Rohit, Virat Will Be Big Assets To Indian Team': Robin Singh Backs Veterans For ODI 2027 WC

ODI World Cup: Former Indian cricketer Robin Singh said Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be big assets to the Indian team in the ODI World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Rohit and Virat have been in good form in recent ODIs, with the former scoring two centuries and a 92 in his last five innings, and Kohli hitting one hundred and two fifty-plus scores (74 and 65) in his last five outings. With the World Cup less than a year away, they seem to be in line to play the global showpiece. Speaking exclusively to IANS, former India all-rounder Robin Singh highlighted that the experience and form of the two former captains would be crucial for the Men in Blue in the World Cup. I think experience is one thing. But more importantly, I think it's their form that is important. And of course, you know, with age you have enough and more experience. So that's really not a problem. They know what to do, Robin told IANS. He stated that the two have been doing exceptionally well in staying fit and will be a big asset for the team going into the global showpiece. It's more about staying in the moment, staying fit and keeping playing well. I think they are doing that exceptionally well. So there are no complaints. They definitely will be a big asset to the Indian team, he said. India have experimented with several players in the recent ODI series against the West Indies as they chalk out their plan for the best playing combination for the World Cup. Singh highlighted that head coach Gautam Gambhir has a formula and is looking to pick the players in the upcoming ODI series around his World Cup strategy. Look, I think they are trying out as many players as possible. They do have their formula in place. So I am pretty sure Gautam and his team members will have their formula. I am sure he has a way of what he would like to do in the World Cup. What type of players he wants for the World Cup. So I am pretty sure they will try and pick people around that strategy to give them enough opportunities to perform and to have the ability to pick the best team going forward before the World Cup, Singh, who has played 136 ODIs and a Test for India, said. India have called back Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the T20I side for the upcoming New Zealand tour, and speculations have begun about whether he and Mohammed Shami can make it to the World Cup, considering the tournament will be held in seam-friendly conditions. Singh, who has also coached the erstwhile Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians in the IPL, stated that the two should play the World Cup if they are in the scheme of things. Again, you know, it depends on what they (team management) want. So if they are in the mix, they should be playing. I don't see any surprises happening. But if they are not in the mix, then it becomes difficult, Singh further said. He heaped praise on both the bowlers and emphasised that they have done enough to earn a chance for a call-up to the Indian team, with Bhuvi getting it, although Shami still remains out of the side. I don't see any surprises happening. But if they are not in the mix, then it becomes difficult, Singh further said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Anil Kapoor recreates his Mr. India look after 39 years on India Ke Top 1%; reveals he bought the iconic jacket from Chor Bazaar

Anil Kapoor recently revisited one of the most memorable looks of his career by wearing his original Mr. India outfit, nearly four decades after the films release. The actor brought back the iconic coat, shirt and trousers for a special Mr. India-themed episode of India Ke Top 1%, adding a nostalgic element to the game show hosted by him. During the episode, Kapoor also revealed an unexpected detail about the jacket, sharing that he had purchased it from Mumbais Chor Bazaar. The upcoming episode of the Star Plus show focuses on individuals who serve the country and contribute to society without expecting recognition or rewards. Alongside the programmes signature riddles, puzzles and games, the special episode highlights people who consider their work a moral responsibility. Kapoors appearance in his preserved Mr. India outfit ties the episodes theme to the message of the 1987 science-fiction film. Speaking about wearing the original costume again, the actor said, I would say the shirt still fits me, the trousers still fit me, the jacket still fits me. After 39 years, everything still fits me! The team said wish we could get the Mr. India costume, and I was like I'd preserved it. The revelation offered a glimpse into how Kapoor had held on to the outfit over the years. Rather than recreating the look with a new costume, the actor was able to bring out the original ensemble, making the moment a personal callback to one of his best-known screen appearances. View this post on Instagram A post shared by teamak (@teamanilkapoor) Anil Kapoor explains the idea behind the special episode Explaining the thought behind the episode, Kapoor said, It is a very socially relevant episode that we are doing. That was the basic theme, and thats what Raj Kapoor sahab had said after seeing the film. What is the takeaway from the film? The takeaway is that everyone can become Mr. India. This episode is about those jo desh ki sewa karte hain (the ones who serve the country). They do things for the country without really expecting anything. They do it as a moral duty. They help make India what it is. The actor also shared the story behind the jacket, revealing, The jacket I bought from Chor Bazaar. Coincidentally, maine baal bhi lambe kiye hue hain, jaise mere Mr. India mein the. Toh aaj baal bhi suit kar rahe hain (I have increased the length of my hair like it was in Mr. India. So even that is suiting my look from the film)! Directed by Shekhar Kapur, Mr. India was released in 1987 and featured Kapoor alongside Sridevi and Amrish Puri. The film remains a notable part of Hindi cinema, with its characters and iconic moments continuing to find recall among audiences.

Saira Banu recalls Dilip Kumar drying Nana Patekars hair after he arrived home drenched in rain post 'Krantiveer' National Award win

Digital Desk | Mumbai, October 10 (IANS) Veteran star Saira Banu remembered a beautiful moment between her late husband, legendary actor Dilip Kumar, and legendary Nana Patekar which highlighted an emotional camaraderie between the two. She recalled how Dilip Kumar personally dried the actor's head and offered him a fresh shirt after he arrived at their home completely drenched in heavy rain. Saira shared the anecdote while paying tribute to Nana following his demise, and remembering the warmth and humanity that defined Dilip Kumar beyond his legendary stature in Indian cinema. Sharing a video of Nana, Saira expressed grief over his passing, further describing him as an extraordinary artist and a performer of rare intensity. She also recalled an incident Nana had narrated about Dilip Kumar after receiving the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Krantiveer in 1994. In her tribute, Saira wrote, The passing of Nana Patekar ji is a heartbreaking loss for Indian cinema. We have lost an extraordinary artist, a performer of rare intensity, and a man whose presence on screen was as unforgettable as the person he was beyond it. My heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and the countless admirers who cherished his work. Today, my thoughts go back to an incident that Nana ji once shared about Dilip Sahib, a memory that has stayed with me for the profound humanity it holds, she added. After Nana ji received the Best Actor award for Krantiveer, Dilip Sahib invited him to our home in Pali Hill. As fate would have it, it began to rain heavily on his way to meet Sahib, and by the time he arrived, he was completely drenched. Recalling what happened when Nana arrived at their home, Saira further added, When Dilip Sahib saw him standing there, soaking wet, he did not make a fuss or utter a word. He simply went inside, brought a towel, gently dried Nana jis head, and then brought him a fresh shirt to change into. Just imagine that moment. Here was Dilip Sahib, an institution in himself, a legend whose very presence was an honour, expressing his affection not through grand words or gestures, but through the simplest, most beautiful act of kindness. She further highlighted Nana's reaction that warmed the cockles of her heart. Nana ji later said something that touched my heart deeply: Isse bada kya award chahiye ek insaan ko? And truly, what greater award can life give you than the love, warmth, and respect of someone you have admired so deeply? May he be remembered not only for the extraordinary characters he brought to life, but also for the memories, emotions, and impressions he leaves behind..Rest in peace, Nana ji. You will be deeply missed. Talking about Krantiveer, the movie was directed by Mehul Kumar, and released in 1994 and featured Nana Patekar in one of the most memorable performances of his career. The film also starred Dimple Kapadia, Atul Agnihotri, Mamta Kulkarni and Danny Denzongpa. For the uninitiated, Nana Patekar passed away on October 8, 2026, at the age of 75.

Congress leader Dalwai urges Fadnavis to free Maha activists detained ahead of Delhi stir

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 10 (IANS) Former Rajya Sabha MP and veteran Congress leader Husain Dalwai has written to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, expressing strong outrage over the detention of senior social activist Firoze Mithiborawala and several other activists across Maharashtra. Dalwai, in his letter on Friday, said that activists and student union members were traveling to New Delhi to participate in a peaceful rally scheduled for Saturday. The protest, organised by various student organisations and the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), aims to demand transparency in the electoral process. Dalwai stated that the police used high-handed tactics to detain Mithiborawala directly from his residence in Mumbai and kept him in police custody to prevent him from reaching the national capital. Additionally, several other activists and students travelling by train from Maharashtra were intercepted and detained at various railway stations. Terming the police action as authoritarian and a direct violation of fundamental democratic rights, Dalwai highlighted that the Indian Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, movement, and peaceful assembly. He condemned treating peaceful activists and youth like criminals. In his appeal, Dalwai urged the Chief Minister to immediately intervene in the matter, take note of the police crackdown, and issue directives to administration officials for the immediate and honourable release of all detained activists and students across the state. Earlier, the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) launched a scathing attack on the Centre, accusing it of driving Indian democracy to its grave. The Thackeray camp in the party mouthpiece Saamana editorial commented on the intensifying political showdown surrounding Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, widespread opposition protests, and an unprecedented state-sponsored crackdown on democratic dissent. The editorial highlighted that Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhis aggressive campaign against CEC Gyanesh Kumartriggered by allegations of electoral manipulationhas sent shockwaves through the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). It asserted that instead of addressing accusations of systemic electoral irregularities, the ruling establishment is shielding the election chief at all costs, calling the protection of such actions a etrayal of the nation. Condemning the handling of recent demonstrations, the editorial pointed out a glaring double standard by the administration. While Opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were dragged, manhandled, and bundled into police vehicles during peaceful protests at Jantar Mantar, BJP Mahila Morcha activists staging abrasive demonstrations outside the Congress headquarters were granted absolute immunity by the home ministry, alleged the Saamana editorial. The Thackeray camp claimed that the government planned to deploy around two lakh armed members of Bajrang Dal to Jantar Mantar to crush the oppositions youth-led cockroach movement. It argued that relying on political gangs and private armies to violently suppress lawful public dissent invites absolute anarchy and civil unrest.

Mumbai Police detain Mahatma Gandhis great-grandson ahead of CJP protest

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 10 (IANS) Mumbai Police on Saturday detained Mahatma Gandhis great-grandson Tushar Gandhi while he was on his way to August Kranti Maidan. Tushar Gandhi, president of Hum Bharat Ke Log, posted a message on X on Friday, sharing a poster calling upon Mumbaikars to join him for a protest at August Kranti Maidan at 3.30 p.m. on Saturday in support of the Cockroach Janta Partys (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Zonal DCP Ragasudha R said that the Gamdevi police station had not received any application regarding the proposed gathering and that no permission had been granted so far. A police official said that permission had not been granted for the gathering. August Kranti Maidan is not a protest site, and no one can protest there due to a High Court order. No application regarding this matter has been received by the Gamdevi Police Station, the official said. Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, was also present on stage during the October 2 protest at Mumbais Shivaji Park. Meanwhile, security arrangements have been tightened across Delhi ahead of the proposed protest by the CJP and the All India Students Association (AISA) at Jantar Mantar. The groups have called on their supporters to protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of manipulation of voter lists. With memories of the July 20 unrest and police action during protests over the NEET paper leak still fresh, authorities have imposed extensive security restrictions. The earlier protests had preceded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. More than 20,000 police personnel and members of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) have been deployed across the national Capital to maintain law and order. Entry and exit gates at 45 Delhi Metro stations have remained closed since Friday night, while train services to two of Delhis major railway stations have been cancelled. With permission for the proposed protest yet to be granted, police have intensified surveillance across the city amid concerns over a possible large-scale mobilisation. Earlier on Saturday, YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was detained by Delhi Police from his residence in Sector 56, Gurugram, ahead of the CJPs proposed protest at Jantar Mantar. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and other party members, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, were also detained at Delhis Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport upon their arrival ahead of the announced protest, police said on Saturday.

Gyanesh Kumar will go, repair will begin: Rahul Gandhi claims democracy will be restored after govt exit

New Delhi , October 10 : Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi on Saturday asserted that democracy will be repaired after the exit of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and once the ruling administration is voted out. Rahul Gandhi, in a post on X, issued a critique targeting the administration's tenure and the leadership of the poll panel. Gyanesh Kumar will go. This government will go. Then the repair of democracy will begin, Rahul Gandhi wrote. Meanwhile, Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president M K Stalin launched a scathing attack against the deployment of heavy-handed state machinery against demonstrators. Comparing current conditions to historical authoritarian episodes, M.K. Stalin wrote on X, The scenes unfolding in Delhi today, and the scale of repression being unleashed against peaceful protesters, bring back painful memories of the Emergency that I lived through. All political leaders, students and young protesters detained in Delhi and across the country must be released immediately. Stalin also criticised local political dynamics, stating, I strongly condemn the TVK Government in Tamil Nadu for acting as an extension of the BJP and unleashing police repression against protesting students. The Union Government must immediately end its assault on the youth who are peacefully exercising their democratic right to protest. Emphasizing that the friction extends far beyond temporary policy disputes to core institutional values, MK Stalin noted, Dissent is not a crime, and democracy cannot survive by silencing those who rise to defend it. The resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is non-negotiable. Beyond his resignation, all the damage done to the institutional framework of the Election Commission must be undone, and its independence and integrity restored. The remarks came following the opposition's demand for the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over issues related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. On the other hand, ahead of the Jantar Mantar 2.0 protest scheduled in New Delhi on Saturday, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activist Abhijeet Dipke, while departing from Mumbai to Delhi, said he was ready to go to jail and would continue his fight over the alleged deletion of votes, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Dipke said threats of imprisonment would not deter him from continuing the fight, adding that he was prepared to go to jail. He claimed that people were being deprived of their voting rights, asserting that he would continue to fight to save the democracy of India. And we will ensure Gyanesh Kumar resigns, because over 13 crore votes have been deleted and people are being stripped of their voting rights; we will keep fighting for that cause. We have to save the democracy of India, he further said. Dipke also questioned the restrictions imposed in the national capital, alleging that the entire city had been shut down to protect Kumar. I fail to understand how Narendra Modi can shut down the entire national capital just to shield one man, Gyanesh Kumar. You have halted railway services, shut down the metro, blocked all roads, suspended the internet, Dipke added. Meanwhile, security arrangements have been stepped up across the national capital ahead of the proposed demonstration. More than 35,000 Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, amid heightened security measures and a directive from the Union Home Secretary to states and Union Territories to maintain law and order. The demonstration, scheduled to be held at Jantar Mantar today, has been claimed to be aimed at seeking accountability over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. CJP has called for a large mobilisation despite the Delhi Police denying permission for the protest. In an Instagram post, CJP said, 10th October. Jantar Mantar 2.0. We're coming together again to raise our voice against Gyanesh Kumar. Thousands of us are expected...Following the announcement, Delhi Police instructed its teams to detain anyone attempting to stage a protest, irrespective of their location, according to the details provided. Police have also directed Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) units not to issue weapons for deployment related to the demonstration. Letters have been sent to the concerned directorates regarding the allotment plan. Unlike the arrangements made during the INDIA bloc protest, police teams have now been authorised to carry lathis and batons. In view of alleged attempts to record and circulate videos portraying police personnel in a negative light, teams have been instructed to avoid verbal confrontations with protesters. Those detained are to be taken to six designated centres: Chhatrasal Stadium, Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Yamuna Sports Complex, Surajmal Stadium, the Community Centre in Daulatpur and the Community Centre in Pandrawal.

SEBI introduces new settlement rules, fast track routes

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 10 (IANS) Markets regulator SEBI has notified new regulations that revise how settlement amounts are calculated, and introduced a fasttrack route for lowervalue cases up to Rs 10 lakh. The revised formula for settlements and fast-track route aims to make the framework simpler and more predictable, the regulator said in a notification. Under the Settlement Regulations, 2026, settlement terms will comprise the settlement amount, disgorgement of wrongful gains where applicable, and remedial and regulatory terms (previously called nonmonetary terms). It separately provides for disgorgement of wrongful gains, avoiding such amounts being double counted when calculating settlement. The new formula ties the settlement amount to a base amount linked to the minimum penalty prescribed for the violation under securities laws. Stage of proceedings, regulatory action, gravity of the violation, aggravating factors and mitigating factors will decide the base amount, besides legal costs involved. While wrongful gains, loss avoided or loss caused to investors are avoided from calculation of base amount, they will instead be disgorged separately. Besides monetary thresholds, the nature of violations, including certain disclosure-related violations, will decide whether the cases will take the newly introduced fast-track settlement route. Fast track settlement shall be of two types -- violation-based fast track settlement and monetary threshold based fast track settlement, the regulator said as per reports. When the settlement amount is below or equal to Rs 10 lakh, the cases will move directly from the internal committee to a panel of whole-time members. SEBI will issue a notice to the entity in the violation-based fast-track settlements offering an opportunity to settle the matter by paying the amount specified in the notice. Panel of members will pass the settlement order after payment of the settlement amount. The regulations also cover settlement of cases involving misrepresentation of financial statements or diversion of funds, subject to appropriate remedial and regulatory measures, including disclosures and retrieving diverted funds.

Toh aaj baal bhi suit kar rahe hain! (Coincidentally, I have grown my hair just like I had in Mr. India. So, today hair is also suiting the look).

Democracy on the edge: Shiv Sena (UBT) attacks Centre over CEC row, crackdown on dissent

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 10 (IANS) The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Centre, accusing it of driving Indian democracy to its grave. The Thackeray camp in the party mouthpiece Saamana editorial commented on the intensifying political showdown surrounding CEC Gyanesh Kumar and widespread opposition protests demanding his resignation. The editorial highlighted that Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhis aggressive campaign against CEC Gyanesh Kumar -- triggered by allegations of electoral manipulation -- has sent shockwaves through the ruling BJP. It asserted that instead of addressing accusations of systemic electoral irregularities, the ruling establishment is shielding the election chief at all costs, calling protection of such actions a etrayal of the nation. Condemning the handling of recent demonstrations, the editorial pointed out a glaring double standard by the administration. While opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were dragged, manhandled, and bundled into police vehicles during peaceful protests at Jantar Mantar, BJP Mahila Morcha activists staging abrasive demonstrations outside the Congress headquarters were granted absolute immunity by the Home Ministry, alleged the editorial. The Thackeray camp claimed the government planned to deploy around two lakh armed members of Bajrang Dal at Jantar Mantar to crush the oppositions youth-led cockroach movement. It argued that relying on political gangs and private armies to violently suppress lawful public dissent invites absolute anarchy and civil unrest. Detailing ongoing administrative blocks, the editorial noted that Delhi Police denied formal permissions for protests, long-distance trains heading toward Delhi were canceled en route, and young demonstrators traveling to participate were intercepted and arrested. Citing remarks from senior BJP veteran Murli Manohar Joshi regarding Abraham Lincolns democratic principles -- which emphasise free elections, transparent bureaucracy, and responsible governance -- the editorial lamented that none of these tenets survive under the current dispensation, where constitutional bodies face institutional capture. The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena said the current political climate surpasses authoritarian levels, with the ruling administration allegedly willing to break opposition resolve through physical intimidation rather than political accountability. As opposition parties rally and tensions and friction between state machinery and protestors peak, it warned that public discontent against the erosion of democratic frameworks has reached a critical threshold.

Flag marches, metro stations shut: Delhi Police cordon off Central Delhi as CJP says Protest is fundamental right

New Delhi, October 10 : Delhi Police on Saturday tightened security across the national capital ahead of a protest call by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and the INDIA bloc at Jantar Mantar. Police have conducted flag marches, intensified vehicle checks at border points and deployed personnel at key entry and exit routes. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has also closed entry and exit gates at several metro stations ahead of the protest. According to an official communication, Delhi Police proposed closing entry and exit gates at 57 metro stations across the national capital and reducing train frequency at these stations in view of the planned protests. Earlier, police detained a few protesters who had started gathering at Jantar Mantar for the CJP demonstration. CJP plans to hold a protest today, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The proposed outreach comes amid an escalating political confrontation between the Opposition and the Election Commission of India (ECI) over alleged vote chori and the revision of electoral rolls. Earlier in the day, CJP activist Abhijeet Dipke alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scared of the youth and accused the Centre of waging a war against its own people through what he described as emergency-like conditions. He was speaking to reporters in Mumbai before leaving for New Delhi for the protest. He also alleged that police personnel were visiting residential areas to discourage people from joining the demonstration, asserting that peaceful protest was a fundamental right. Narendra Modi is a dictator. He is scared. Which is why he has shut down railways, metro, and all roads. If Narendra Modi is so afraid of the youth of this country, the people of this country, then why is he sitting on the Prime Minister's chair? Dipke said. To save his power, he is picking up people from trains and making announcements in societies that no one should go to the protest. The Delhi Police is going to people's homes and saying no one should protest. Why shouldn't they go? Protesting is our fundamental right. Article 19 gives us the fundamental right to protest in a very democratic and peaceful manner, and that is what we are going to do, Dipke said. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police denied permission to the party to hold a demonstration at Jantar Mantar, citing a previous breakdown of the law and order situation in the area.

We will ensure Gyanesh Kumar resigns: Abhijeet Dipke says eady to go to jail ahead of protest march

Mumbai , October 10 : Ahead of the Jantar Mantar 2.0 protest scheduled in New Delhi on Saturday, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activist Abhijeet Dipke, while departing from Mumbai to Delhi, said he was ready to go to jail and would continue his fight over the alleged deletion of votes, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Dipke said threats of imprisonment would not deter him from continuing the fight, adding that he was prepared to go to jail. Speaking to ANI, Dipke said, If you think you can stop us by threatening us with jail or trying to intimidate us with the fear of imprisonment, you are mistaken. We are ready to go to jail. If you want to imprison us, go aheadimpose the NSA, the UAPA, or whatever laws you wishbut we will continue to fight to save this country's democracy. He claimed that people were being deprived of their voting rights, asserting that he would continue to fight to save the democracy of India. And we will ensure Gyanesh Kumar resigns, because over 13 crore votes have been deleted and people are being stripped of their voting rights; we will keep fighting for that cause. We have to save the democracy of India, he further said. Dipke also questioned the restrictions imposed in the national capital, alleging that the entire city had been shut down to protect Kumar. I fail to understand how Narendra Modi can shut down the entire national capital just to shield one man, Gyanesh Kumar. You have halted railway services, shut down the metro, blocked all roads, suspended the internet, Dipke added. Meanwhile, security arrangements have been stepped up across the national capital ahead of the proposed demonstration. More than 35,000 Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, amid heightened security measures and a directive from the Union Home Secretary to states and Union Territories to maintain law and order. The demonstration, scheduled to be held at Jantar Mantar today, has been claimed to be aimed at seeking accountability over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. CJP has called for a large mobilisation despite the Delhi Police denying permission for the protest. In an Instagram post, CJP said, 10th October. Jantar Mantar 2.0. We're coming together again to raise our voice against Gyanesh Kumar. Thousands of us are expected...Following the announcement, Delhi Police instructed its teams to detain anyone attempting to stage a protest, irrespective of their location, according to the details provided. Police have also directed Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) units not to issue weapons for deployment related to the demonstration. Letters have been sent to the concerned directorates regarding the allotment plan. Unlike the arrangements made during the INDIA bloc protest, police teams have now been authorised to carry lathis and batons. In view of alleged attempts to record and circulate videos portraying police personnel in a negative light, teams have been instructed to avoid verbal confrontations with protesters. Those detained are to be taken to six designated centres: Chhatrasal Stadium, Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Yamuna Sports Complex, Surajmal Stadium, the Community Centre in Daulatpur and the Community Centre in Pandrawal.
