Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 11 (IANS) Legendary playback singer Kumar Sanu, who has lent his voice to Suniyo Zara, has said that music mogul Gulshan Kumars assassination had a lot of negative implications on the music industry. The veteran singer spoke with IANS at his house in the Andheri West area of Mumbai during the promotions of the song. When asked how the music industry changed after Gulshan Kumars assassination, he said, It was bad. Till the time he was here, it was a golden era for Hindi film music. First, he was not just a music lover or a businessman but much more than that. He had so much clarity in his mind that he could predict that music would work. The second thing is he knew how to take music publicly and how to spread it worldwide. No one had all these techniques better than him. Even today, no one has it. I am not saying he is my godfather, he is my godfather. But if you see, after Gulshan ji's death, the industry changed completely. He further mentioned, There are many films whose music was sold and Gulshan ji used to buy it. So, his death was a very sad thing for us at that time. And I think because of that, everything was broken little by little. NadeemShravan got separated. Nadeem went away. Then all the music directors who used to make good quality songs, everyone was affected. Gulshan ji was the man. He taught us that a singer should take money. He taught us, You should take your money. Why do you sing so hard?. So we were going to learn a lot from Gulshan ji. And we had learned. And definitely it's a big loss for our industry, he added.

EC refutes poll rigging claims citing official 2024 Haryana, Maharashtra data
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 10 (IANS) The Election Commission of India (ECI) sources have firmly rejected allegations of vote mismatches and possible rigging in the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections, describing claims of large gaps between votes cast and votes counted as based on a basic misreading of official records. Referring to assertions that in seats such as Badkhal, the number of votes polled far exceeded those counted on electronic voting machines (EVMs), ECI sources pointed to the commission's Assembly constituency (AC)-wise voters information for the 2024 Haryana poll. Accordingly, in Badkhal (AC 87), the records list 3,32,253 total electors. Of these, 1,60,553 electors voted, delivering a poll percentage of 48.32. After postal rejections (26), EVM rejected votes (543) and NOTA (1,509), exactly 1,58,475 valid votes were recorded. The figures align completely; the widely circulated 3.32 lakh votes polled figure is simply the total number of voters on the electoral rolls, not the number who voted. In Ellenabad (AC 46), 1,95,868 electors were registered and 1,58,707 voted (poll percentage 81.03). After accounting for 253 rejected postal votes and 545 NOTA votes, 1,57,909 valid votes were declared. In Gurgaon (AC 77), an urban seat with lower turnout, 4,43,593 electors were on the rolls and 2,30,147 voted (51.88 per cent). Valid votes stood at 2,29,029 after standard deductions. In Badshahpur (AC 76), 5,21,969 electors yielded 2,83,131 votes polled (54.24 per cent) and 2,80,482 valid votes. In Kalka (AC 1), 2,02,394 electors produced 1,45,961 votes (72.12 per cent) and 1,45,220 valid votes. The biggest such discrepancy is in Maharashtra's Mumbai North Parliamentary constituency, reports said. According to the ECI's internal records, reports alleged, total votes polled were 18.11 lakh in the constituency, but according to the result declared by the Commission, 10.33 lakh votes were cast in the constituency. This means, a whopping 7.78 lakh votes, 42.8 per cent of the votes polled, were not counted on the EVMs. While ECI sources clarified that claims of a massive mismatch in Mumbai North, stemmed from a basic error. The constituency had 18.12 lakh registered electors on the rolls. Of these, 10.33 lakh actually voted, recording a turnout of about 57 per cent. Valid votes matched the polled figures after routine deductions for NOTA and rejections. The widely cited 18.11 lakh votes polled figure was simply the total number of electors, not the votes cast. No discrepancy exists between votes polled and votes counted. Statewide, Haryana recorded 2,04,63,841 total electors and 1,39,13,879 electors who voted, for an overall turnout of 67.99 per cent. Valid votes totalled 1,38,37,980 after all rejections and NOTA. These numbers are drawn directly from the authenticated returns filed by Returning Officers. ECI sources pointed out that minor differences between electors who voted and final valid votes are routine and legally accounted forvoters who enter the booth but do not vote, invalidated postal ballots, or test votes. Large unexplained gaps of the kind alleged would have triggered statutory investigation under the Conduct of Election Rules. No such gaps exist in the Haryana data. The commission sources reiterated that primary records, including Form 17C, remain the sole authoritative source. Secondary analyses that confuse total electors with actual votes polled create artificial discrepancies. Constituency-level data continues to be available through official ECI channels for verification. Claims of systemic rigging or uncounted votes running into lakhs in the 2024 Haryana polls stand refuted by the commission's own audited figures.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 10 (IANS) The trailer of the upcoming film Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace, which stars Salman Khan in the lead, was unveiled on Tuesday. It promises a powerful story of patriotism, sacrifice and the human cost of war. The trailer opens with a fast cuts of avalanche in one of the highest battlefields in the world as the Chinese soldiers prepare to infiltrate the Indian side of Line of Actual Control (LAC). Salman makes a heroic entry as a highly accomplished soldier, who has the perfect balance of wit and strength. The trailer then shows his personal life, and introduces actress Chitrangada Singh as his wife, who is concerned about him being called for the action. Salman then tells her that it wont be a showdown involving guns as the Chinese and Indian soldiers do not use guns during border face-offs along the LAC because of bilateral agreements designed to prevent military escalation into a full-scale war. The trailer offers a glimpse into the life of a soldier, where duty never ends and every moment with family is precious. The film explores the humane side of war, and the emotional sacrifices of those who serve the nation and the loved ones who wait for them. Salman Khan makes a commanding impression with his powerful action avatar, while his chemistry with Chitrangda Singh adds emotional depth to the narrative. The film is further elevated by its picturesque locations, impressive cinematography and impactful music. The film carries the profound message about war never truly leading to a happy ending as the casualties pile up on both sides, its consequences extending far beyond the battlefield, and families suffering. The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia, and produced under the banner of Salman Khan Films.

T20 Mumbai League Governing Council: The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Tuesday hosted Celebrating the Champions, an evening to honour the winners of the T20 Mumbai League 2026 and celebrate the leagues growth, both on and off the field. The event celebrated the leagues progress as a competitive platform for cricketing talent as well as its growing commercial strength, with the formal induction of the ninth franchise marking an important milestone in its journey. The event was attended by World Cup-winning India captain and Triumph Knights MNE skipper Suryakumar Yadav, MCA President Ajinkya Naik, T20 Mumbai League Governing Council Chairman Rajdip Gupta, T20 Mumbai League players Sarfaraz Khan, Musheer Khan, Suryansh Shedge, Sayali Satghare, players from the teams, MCA office-bearers, members of the MCA Apex Council and League Governing Council, team operators and commercial partners, and MCA Club Secretaries. The evening saw MSC Maratha Royals felicitated for successfully defending their title in the mens league, while SOBO Mumbai Falcons were also honoured after winning the inaugural womens league. A key highlight of the evening was the formal induction of the leagues ninth franchise, representing Navi Mumbai. The addition reflects the growing interest in the competition among prospective investors. Former India captain and Triumph Knights MNE skipper Suryakumar Yadav said, I believe the most important thing for aspiring cricketers in Mumbai is to have the right platform. With cricket continuing to grow across the world, having access to such opportunities is extremely important, and every player looks forward to them. I still remember when I first heard about the T20 Mumbai League in 2018. I was really excited because, at the time, the opportunities were largely limited to the IPL and domestic tournaments. The league provided another important platform for players to showcase their abilities. Speaking on the occasion, MCA President Ajinkya Naik said, It is encouraging to see how far the T20 Mumbai League has come, both as a cricketing platform and as a sporting property. Todays celebration is not just about honouring our champions but also recognising the progress the league has made over the years. Mumbai has always been one of the strongest centres of cricket in the country, and it is important that we continue to create opportunities for the next generation to carry that legacy forward. As MCA, we want to see the league grow while staying true to its primary purpose of developing local talent and strengthening Mumbais cricketing ecosystem, he added. Rajdip Gupta, Chairman, T20 Mumbai League Governing Council, said, The league has come a long way since its inception, and the addition of a ninth franchise is an important milestone in that journey. The 106.88 crore franchise acquisition over six years reflects the confidence that investors have shown in the T20 Mumbai League and the potential they see in its future. We have worked towards building a sustainable franchise-based competition, with the right balance of sporting value and commercial opportunity. As we look ahead, our focus will be on strengthening the franchise ecosystem, building meaningful partnerships and taking the league to a wider audience. The evening also featured a fireside chat with Suryakumar Yadav, Ajinkya Naik, Rajdip Gupta and league partners, who shared their perspectives on the leagues journey, its growing stature, commercial potential and role in strengthening Mumbai cricket. Since its inception in 2018, the T20 Mumbai League has provided a platform for emerging cricketers to showcase their talent and progress to higher levels of the game. Players such as Shivam Dube and Tushar Deshpande, who have gone on to represent India, are among the names associated with the leagues talent pathway. The introduction of the womens competition in 2026 has further widened the platform, giving women cricketers an opportunity to compete and showcase their abilities. The leagues growing franchise base has also added to its commercial appeal. The induction of the Navi Mumbai franchise, backed by an investment of 106.88 crore over six years, is a significant development in this regard. Alongside its franchise model and commercial partnerships, the league continues to build a platform that brings together cricketing talent, investors and brands.

As he gears up for SMAT 2026, Surya rediscovers the passion and insights from 15-16 years ago
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 10 (IANS) After enduring some difficult months after losing out on a spot in the squad for the shortest format of international game, India's 2026 Men's T20 World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav is looking forward to leading Mumbai in the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Surya is eager to lead Mumbai T20 side once again and wants to make up for missing out on being part of the Ranji Trophy side and is looking forward to interacting with young players in the side, exchanging ideas and dispensing the wisdom he has gained in the last 16 years as a player for Mumbai and India. I would be very happy and privileged to spend time with them and play for this association. I have always been around; I have been here for the last 16 years, and that energy and passion are still there. I would be very happy to take this forward, lead the team this time and win the tournament, said Suryakumar Yadav at an event organised by Mumbai Cricket Association to honour the men's and women's sections of the T20 Mumbai League. I have seen so many cricketers who have played alongside each other on the maidans of Mumbai cricket and learnt a lot of tricks from one another how to handle situations, how to clear the sport. These are the things we discuss. Most importantly, we talk about how we can grow together. That's what I have seen over the last few months and years, whenever I have been part of the Mumbai dressing room and had the opportunity to spend time with the boys. Though I didn't get that opportunity during this Ranji Trophy season, going forward, in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, there will definitely be good times ahead, said SKY at the 'Celebrating with Champions' event at which the MCA honoured the Maratha Royals team, the champions of T20 Mumbai League Season 4, and Mumbai Falcons, who won the first season of Women's T20 Mumbai League, earlier this year. Though he has been playing cricket at various levels, the 35-year-old Suryakumar Yadav has learnt from all opportunities and is looking forward to doing the same in the future too. There is still a lot to learn, and I continue to learn from all the players. There are a lot of young cricketers in the team right now. These boys are getting a platform to play domestic cricket, get recognised by IPL franchises and eventually get picked by them. I think this is a very important time for them, said Surya, who also talked about his experiences when he made his Mumbai debut, around 16 years back. When I first walked into the dressing room in 2010-11, I had seniors like Sachin (Tendulkar) sir, Amol Muzumdar and Ajit Agarkar. There were so many players whom I used to look up to. Whenever they went out for practice, I would spend a lot of time with them, talking. Sachin sir even gave me his space in the Mumbai dressing room, where he used to sit in the right corner. So, it was quite a special moment, a very memorable one. Surya also talked about how things have changed since then and how today's youngsters have a different kind of passion and ambition for the game. Obviously, as I gradually started taking over, things began to change. I don't want to talk about when I first became the captain of Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy, because things were very different at that time. I was a completely different person then. I have changed a lot since. But now, when I look at all the boys and spend time with them, I see a completely different kind of passion and hunger. They want to achieve something, build a brand, represent Mumbai at the franchise level, play for the Mumbai Cricket Association and, ultimately, represent India, he said. The Mumbai Indians star talked about how things were a bit difficult for him after the T20 World Cup and how life changed for him after the birth of his daughter in May 2026. Things have been a little difficult after the T20 World Cup. I don't want to run away from that fact. If you are not honest with yourself, it is very difficult to lead a happy life. So, to be very honest, it has been very difficult. But at the same time, during the IPL, I was blessed with a baby girl in May. The focus shifted completely towards her. The last few months, since she was born, have been very beautiful. The first two months, though, were very difficult. But then I thought, why not go back to thinking about how I was before? How I started my cricket journey, when all I used to think about was playing age-group cricket for Mumbai and eventually representing Mumbai in first-class cricket. I sat down and thought about all these things and started chatting with my wife. She said the same thing. She felt I needed to bring back the love and passion for the game that I had when I was a 15-year-old kid who wanted to represent Mumbai in Under-15 cricket, said Surya. He said that period got him thinking, and he started doing things with the same passion as he did 10-15 years ago. So, that's what I started thinking about, and I am now following the same things I did 10-15 years ago. I am training again, following the same passion and the same love for the game. Everything is back to normal now. When you start thinking about it and focus on playing this sport, you want to do well for your team and your family. Things change completely, and that's what I am doing right now, he said during an interaction at the MCA event.

Kangana Ranaut calls Sonia Gandhi 'mysterious foreign'; accuses her of throwing out Maneka Gandhi
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 10 (IANS) Amid the ongoing political storm after the recent release of Sonia Gandhi's memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love,actress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kangana Ranautmade a series of accusations against Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday. In an Instagram Story, she questioned the political rise of 'mysterious foreign national' Sonia Gandhi. Kangana shared that she did a lot of research on the Gandhi family for her movie 'Emergency' and what stuck her as odd was how, following the arrival of Sonia Gandhi, all potential heirs - India Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, and Rajeev Gandhi passed away one after the other, leaving only her as the only choice. The 'Queen' actress pointed out that the sequence of events had 'way too many coincidences'. Kangana wrote on the photo-sharing app, Every one is talking about NVIDIA honey trap controversy, for Emergency I did a lot of research on Indian politics and Gandhi family and I must confess that one thing I could never wrap my head around is that one mysterious foreign national enters Gandhi family and Indira Gandhi killed, Sanjay Gandhi Rajeev Gandhi all potential heirs to the throne killed leaving just one and only sympathy choice for the throne that one foreign national called Sonia Gandhi and people didn't even think there were way too many coincidences also that foreigner notoriously and openly propagated foreign agendas shed crocodile tears for terrorists, yet she managed to head the government for decades until of course 2014 happened (sic). A few hours later, she dropped another Insta post in which Kangana even accused Sonia of throwing out Maneka Gandhi following the demise of Sanjay Gandhi. And just like that a vulnerable teenage girl Maneka who Sanjay Gandhi married and loved like crazy, after his death his young widow with their son was thrown out of his house for random reasons as mentioned by Sonia Gandhi, she was out of the way just before every one else was to get killed, how convenient!, Kangana penned. For the unaware, in March 1982, Maneka Gandhi left the Prime Minister's residence at Safdarjung Road in New Delhi with her young son, Varun Gandhi, almost two years after the death of Sanjay Gandhi. Before the release of the memoir, archival footage of the Gandhi family, enjoying a meal and discussing election results was also unveiled. Reacting to the old clip in a tweet, Kangana pointed out how everyone seemed to be in control of Sonia Gandhi, while Meneka Gandhi seemed absolutely sidelined following the death of her husband. Kangana also found it odd that Sonia Gandhi simply bumped into Rajiv Gandhi in a cafe and made her way into the powerful Gandhi family. In her latest post on social media, she mentioned, Even in the end of the clip every one leaves but Maneka stays looking at Mrs Gandhi like a wounded little child seeking some comfort may be a little smile or a gaze in her direction, she stays hoping for one sign but nothing comes only coldness and slowly she disappears like she is there but doesnt exist. Heartbreaking! On the other hand every one seems to be wrapped around little finger of a mysterious foreign national who bumped in to older son Rajeev Gandhi in a cafe abroad and ever since became inseparable, younger son Sanjay was being formally trained by Mrs Gandhi but he dies mysteriously and his vulnerable young window Maneka was thrown out of his house for random reasons and shortly after that the mother in law and husband were also killed one after the other. Towards the end of the tweet, Kangana reiterated how the demise of Sanjay Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi conveniently left the 'mysterious foreigner' Sonia Gandhi as the head of government.

Participation in an all-women FIFA workshop gives Chhetri change to drive programmes for change
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 10 (IANS) Being the lone male player at a three-day Impact Accelerator Workshop organised as part of the FIFA Player Impact Programme has given former India captain Sunil Chhetri special insights into the world of women's football. The 42-year-old Chhetri was in Boston a few months ago, along with 10 female players to explore how they can turn their football influence into meaningful change for the causes that matter most to them. Chhetri's participation in the female-only programme in June reflects the programme's growing ambition and reach. Chhetri was part of the cohort that gathered in Boston, Massachusetts, to explore how they can turn their football influence into meaningful change for the causes that matter most to them. He is expected to soon put together a project to drive positive social change in the country and, along with other participants, present it at the next stage of the Impact Accelerator Workshop in London in December this year. The 11 members of the 13-strong second cohort of FIFA's Player Impact Programme were united for the initiative, which empowers players to harness their voice, platform and resources to drive positive social change, said a report on www.fifa.com. The three-day conclave in Boston, at which the players took the first step in their impact journeys, was attended by Alexia Putellas, a FIFA Womens World Cup winner with Spain, Casey Phair of Korea Republic, Gabi Nunes of Brazil, Hina Sugita of Japan, Jessie Fleming of Canada, Kenza Dali of France, Maria Sanchez of Mexico, Michelle Agyemang of England, Phallon Tullis-Joyce of the USA, Racheal Kundananji of Zambia and Rasheedat Ajibade of Nigeria, Rebekah Stott of New Zealand besides Sunil Chhetri. The programme, which builds upon the success of its female-only pilot in 2025, recognises that the stars, besides excelling on the football field, also have a unique opportunity to inspire future generations and create lasting impact around the world, backed by FIFA's support. Drawing from their experience and inspired by each others stories, players left with a clearer understanding of how the nine-month programme will support them with the skills, resources and guidance needed to turn their projects into reality, the report said. Over three days in Boston, the group shared their personal journeys and the goals they have set for themselves through group discussions, practical exercises and expert-led sessions. The result was a series of powerful, engaging and constructive exchanges that will ultimately create lasting change in their communities. Im really happy that I got this opportunity, Chhetri was quoted as saying in a report on the programme in fifa.com. Chhetri, who at 42 is still playing in his homeland, said: I cannot wait to put those lessons into practice. I dont think there is a difference (between) a man and a woman here, (we are) just meeting amazing personalities, some amazing top-class players from different countries. The next milestone in their impact journey will come in December, when participants gather in London and join virtual sessions to present their projects to their peers.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 10 (IANS) MMTC Limited, a central public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, on Tuesday reported a sharp fall in earnings for the quarter ended September 2026, with consolidated net profit dropping 85.3 per cent year-on-year to Rs 25 crore from Rs 171 crore in the corresponding period last financial year (Q2 FY26). The company's revenue from operations increased 15.5 per cent to Rs 1.27 crore during the quarter, compared with Rs 1.10 crore a year earlier, according to its stock exchange filing.

FPIs return to Dalal Street, invest Rs 53,739 crore in November so far
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 10 (IANS) Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) turned net buyers of Indian equities in November, investing Rs 53,739 crore during the first nine days of the month after remaining net sellers for the previous two months, amid improving sentiment towards Indian markets and a global shift away from AI-linked trades. The latest inflows come after FPIs withdrew Rs 34,843 crore from Indian equities in October and Rs 35,861 crore in September. Analysts attributed the sharp turnaround to an AI-driven sell-off across major global markets, including the US, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, which prompted investors to reassess their allocations. According to analysts, concerns over data centre spending linked to artificial intelligence triggered a correction in AI-focused markets, leading global investors to seek opportunities in sectors and markets less exposed to the AI theme. India, widely viewed as a non-AI trade, emerged as one of the preferred destinations for foreign investors during this period. Apart from the change in global investment trends, India's strong corporate earnings growth and attractive valuations in large-cap stocks also enhanced the market's appeal. Analysts noted that foreign investors were particularly active in index heavyweights, with financial services, information technology, automobile and telecom stocks attracting significant inflows. Data from depositories showed that the Rs 53,739 crore infusion was recorded between November 2 and November 9, covering six trading sessions. Despite the strong buying in November, cumulative FPI outflows from Indian equities in 2026 remain substantial at Rs 2.41 lakh crore. In the debt market, foreign investors invested Rs 7,759 crore through the Fully Accessible Route (FAR). However, they pulled out Rs 591 crore through the Voluntary Retention Route (VRR) and withdrew another Rs 270 crore through the general route. Market participants believe sustained earnings growth and reasonable valuations in large-cap stocks could continue to support foreign investment flows into Indian equities in the near term, although global macroeconomic developments and investor sentiment towards risk assets will remain key factors to watch.

Srinagar , November 10 : Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday praised Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi's memoir 'Belonging: A Journey of Love', saying that no woman politician had endured as much as she had, while also defending the legacy of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and criticising the BJP's ideological approach. Speaking to reporters in Srinagar, Mufti said she had witnessed Sonia Gandhi's evolution as a political leader and stateswoman and admired her strength in dealing with personal tragedies, including the assassinations of her mother-in-law, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, and husband Rajiv Gandhi. I have seen Sonia Gandhi evolving into a leader and then into a stateswoman. She has gone through a lot. I mean, in my opinion, no woman politician has endured as much as she has. And the way she carried herself, especially when, you know, the trauma her children faced when their grandmother and then father Rajiv ji was killed... I mean, that must have been very emotionally taxing on her, Mufti said. But still, to come up with such a beautiful book, with so many, you know, happy memories--of course, there are sad occasions also in it. I think it's something, you know, really I admire in her. She has the capacity, she has the, you know... she has the strength to bear it all, she added. Mufti also criticised the BJP over its remarks on Nehru, highlighting his contribution to nation-building and the establishment of institutions after Independence. And the way the BJP people--the way they are talking about Jawaharlal Nehru--what would they understand about Jawaharlal Nehru? Jawaharlal Nehru was the person, was the Prime Minister who, at a time when the whole country... before Independence, he went to jail; his daughter went to jail. After that, that family gave two Prime Ministers who sacrificed their lives for this country. That is Jawaharlal Nehru's legacy, she said. She further credited Nehru with steering the country through the communal tensions surrounding Partition and establishing institutions, industries and basic infrastructure. He steered this nation at a time when Hindus and Muslims were thirsty for each other's blood. And this country had virtually nothing. Education was hardly even 15 to 20 per cent. After that, he gave institutions here, gave ISRO, through which they are launching satellites and other things into space today. He built this nation, gave it industries, gave it basic infrastructure, which today they are handing over entirely to Adani, Mufti said. In my view, the BJP cannot understand Jawaharlal Nehru because their mentality, their mindset, is very narrow. Their mindset is only about pitting Hindus and Muslims against each other, Mufti alleged. Mufti further described the memoir as a reflection of the ideological differences between the Congress and the BJP, saying Sonia Gandhi associated herself with Mahatma Gandhi, secularism and democracy. I feel that this book--I haven't heard much about it yet, though I have read a little bit--its a beautiful book, and it tells you the truth: that the BJP's ideology is the ideology of the RSS, Jan Sangh, and Godse, whereas Sonia Gandhi associates herself with Gandhi ji, secularism, and democracy. So, I think it must be a very interesting book, she said. Asked about the title Belonging, given that Gandhi has long been accused of having an Italian mindset, Mufti said, In my opinion, she... as I said earlier, the way she evolved as a leader, as a stateswoman... in the BJP, you don't even have a single... leave alone a statesman, you don't even have a true leader. They are just RSS pracharaks. They are rioters, considering what they are doing right now and the riot-like atmosphere they have created. She (Sonia Gandhi) was always called an outsider, but the amount she has sacrificed for this country--her husband's sacrifice, and before that, her mother-in-law's sacrifice... I think in the history of India, no other family has fought as much for freedom, nor made as many sacrifices for the integrity of this nation, as this family has, Mufti added. The remarks come amid a political controversy surrounding Sonia Gandhi's newly released memoir, which touches upon her personal journey, political experiences, the Nehru-Gandhi family and her criticism of the BJP-led government. In her memoir, Sonia Gandhi has accused the BJP of systematically dismantling democratic institutions, suppressing dissent and centralising political and economic power. She has also alleged that the RSS has brought several educational institutions under its ideological influence. Gandhi has criticised the government's 2016 demonetisation decision, the functioning of central investigative agencies and the Election Commission of India (ECI). She has also accused the ruling party of using government agencies to target political opponents. The memoir has drawn sharp reactions from BJP leaders. BJP national spokesperson CR Kesavan criticised the book, saying it could have been titled 'Whitewashing' instead of 'Belonging: A Journey of Love'. Sonia Gandhi could have titled her memoir 'Whitewashing', instead of 'Belonging' because the motive of this book appears to be sugarcoating the historical wrongs perpetrated by the Nehru-Gandhi family and camouflaging the cardinal sins committed by the Congress party, Kesavan said. Questioning her references to the Babri Masjid demolition, the 1984 anti-Sikh massacre, the Batla House encounter and the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Kesavan asked whether she had expressed similar grief over the deaths of innocent people and security personnel. He also criticised her account of the Emergency imposed by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, saying it was appalling and shocking to normalise or justify a period during which fundamental rights were suspended. In Patna, JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha questioned Sonia Gandhi's account of declining the Prime Minister's post in 2004, claiming that Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav had refused to support her. This is a controversial matter as well. While managing numbers, what we know is that Mulayam Singh Yadav had refused to support her. Otherwise, there was a full attempt to become the PM. But she could not become. It is a different matter what she did or did not do, Jha said. Meanwhile, Congress leaders defended the memoir and rejected the BJP's criticism over Sonia Gandhi's reflections on the Babri Masjid demolition. Congress leader Salman Khurshid said there was deep regret across political circles over the demolition, including among BJP leaders Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani. Advani ji had also said that they did not want this to happen. Atal Bihari Vajpayee had said they didn't want this, Khurshid said. Congress MP Rajeev Shukla also accused the BJP of giving the memoir a political spin, arguing that several BJP leaders had themselves criticised the Babri Masjid's demolition at the time. (ANI)

NCP merger requires coalition consultation, BJP not informed yet: CM Fadnavis
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 10 (IANS) Amid heated debate over the possible merger of the NCP and NCP(SP), Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said that only Sharad Pawar and Sunetra Pawar can clarify whether the two Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) factions will merge. He noted that the BJP has not been informed of any such move as yet and the merger requires coalition consultation. Addressing swirling rumours about a potential merger between the two rival NCP factions, CM Fadnavis maintained that any such decision would heavily involve the ruling coalition. If they decide to merge, they will come and tell us, because the merger cannot happen without us. Neither of them has told us anything yet, he said. Speaking at an informal media interaction during a Diwali gathering at his official residence, Varsha, the Chief Minister provided key updates on the political landscape, drought mitigation, and Mumbais security. Describing late leader Ajit Pawar as a time-tested figure with deep knowledge of Maharashtra, CM Fadnavis cautioned that comparing Sunetra Pawar's current leadership to her late husband's would be unfair as she adapts to her new role. Ajit Dada was a leader who had been tested over time. He had an immense understanding of Maharashtra and a deep knowledge of the state. Sunetra Pawar is now adapting to the situation. Comparing her with Ajit Dada would be unfair, he remarked, adding that other party leaders are currently managing affairs collectively. Highlighting ongoing drought mitigation measures, the CM announced that advance assistance has already been disbursed to farmers, with final relief packages to follow shortly. He also emphasised long-term solutions, including major river-linking projects expected to make the state drought-free within seven to eight years. Turning to agrarian challenges, he assured that the state government is actively managing the drought situation. The government has provided advance financial assistance to affected farmers and will announce final relief measures soon. Detailed village-wise mapping of water sources and fodder arrangements for livestock have been implemented, he added. Addressing orange growers who voiced concerns over strict borewell restrictionswhich threatened existing trees while new plantations require up to eight years to yield fruitCM Fadnavis announced that the government has accepted demands to permit specific borewell-related activities until December 15 alongside mandatory groundwater recharge measures. The Chief Minister stressed that ambitious river-linking projectsincluding surplus floodwater diversion from western Maharashtra, water integration into the Godavari basin, and the Wainganga-Nalganga linkwill permanently eradicate drought in the state within seven to eight years. CM Fadnavis addressed high water consumption in Pune, dust pollution controls in Mumbai, and ongoing tunneling projects designed to ease traffic congestion in the capital. He also focussed on urban resource management and environmental compliance. Noting that Pune consumes nearly 16 TMC of water annually against prescribed norms of approximately 11 TMC, he pointed to potential leakages or unauthorised consumption. While affirming that the government would not withhold additional water if genuinely required, he stressed the urgent need for the city to rationalise its usage. To combat construction-induced pollution in Mumbai, civic bodies have been directed to strictly enforce Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Furthermore, ongoing subterranean tunnel projects are projected to significantly alleviate traffic congestion over the next three to four years, he informed. Strongly defending the Mumbai Police following recent threats and firing incidents linked to the Bishnoi gang, CM Fadnavis lauded the force's professionalism in tracking down and arresting suspects swiftly. In response to concerns regarding firing incidents and threats allegedly orchestrated by the Bishnoi gang, he offered a robust defence of the state's security apparatus. Mumbai Police are so professional that after a firing incident, they identify the accused, track them down and arrest them, even after they get off a train. Only Mumbai Police can do this, he asserted, dismissing the gang's activities as largely psychological manoeuvres intended to intimidate citizens.
