Mumbai/New Delhi, Oct 20: The situation in West Asia remains a matter of deep concern and India will support all efforts to promote peace through dialogue and diplomacy, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Tuesday during talks with his UAE counterpart Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Al Nahyan, who is also the deputy prime minister of the UAE, landed in Mumbai on Monday night on a two-day visit. His trip to India comes amid a fresh wave of attacks on Saudi Arabia reportedly by the Houthi militants. In his televised opening remarks at the meeting, Jaishankar also backed efforts for free, safe and unimpeded flow of trade, energy and fertilisers. The external affairs minister made a mention of how the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between India and the UAE has significantly enhanced bilateral trade and economic ties. The situation in the Gulf remains a matter of deep concern. We will continue to work together and support all efforts to promote dialogue and diplomacy, he said. We continue to support free, safe and unimpeded flow of trade, energy and fertiliser. I would also like to thank you and, through you, the UAE leadership for ensuring the well-being of the Indian community in the UAE, he said. Jaishankar also noted that despite global headwinds and regional challenges, the economic partnership between the two countries continues to set ew benchmarks. The bilateral trade has crossed the USD 100 billion mark since the signing of the CEPA and two-way investments continue to grow, reflecting the confidence of our businesses in each other's economies, he said. Cooperation in defence, energy and technology are acquiring a strategic character. Our people-to-people ties continue to enrich the lives of our communities. Our cultural partnership is also gaining strong momentum, he said. After the talks, Jaishankar said on social media that the India-UAE relationship is living up to its promise as a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. He also described his talks with the UAE leader as productive. The breadth and ambition of our cooperation is visible across the domains of trade, investments, energy, technology, logistics, defence, education and people-to-people ties, he said. Al Nahyan said the UAE wanted to further enhance bilateral cooperation with India. The UAE is honoured to be one of India's largest trading partners, and the aim of the Emirati leadership is to have a closer, stronger and diverse relationship, he said. We are very close, but we want to be closer, Sheikh Abdullah said. The UAE wants to do more with India in areas such as people-to-people ties, culture and education, he said. There has been a significant upswing in bilateral trade and people-to-people ties after New Delhi and Abu Dhabi inked the CEPA in 2022. The two countries are among each other's top trading and investment partners, bolstered by the CEPA, a local currency settlement system and the bilateral investment treaty.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 20 (IANS) A new angle has emerged in the firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car, with preliminary interrogation of the arrested accused reportedly revealing that the actor was not their original target and that they had initially planned to attack another prominent Bollywood personality. Mumbai Police sources said the accused had travelled to Mumbai with the intention of targeting another celebrity. However, after finding it difficult to reach their intended target, they allegedly shifted their focus to Tiger Shroff. Investigators have reportedly found that the accused learned about the actor's security arrangements through Instagram reels uploaded by his fans. The videos allegedly indicated that the 36-year-old actor did not usually have police security accompanying him, prompting the attackers to consider him an easier target, sources added. During preliminary questioning, the accused, according to sources, disclosed that they wanted to kill the actor to spread fear in the Bollywood industry. According to sources, the attackers also conducted reconnaissance by monitoring Tiger Shroff's movements through his Instagram account and posts and videos shared by his fans. The firing took place on a busy Sunday evening and was captured on video. The actor, son of veteran Bollywood star Jackie Shroff, escaped relatively unhurt. However, his driver and a bystander sustained injuries in the incident. According to Mumbai Police, five to six rounds were fired at the actor's car. A motorcycle allegedly used by the shooters was subsequently recovered in an abandoned condition in Andheri. Following the attack, the accused reportedly fled to Gujarat's Surat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train. Their alleged plan was to travel to New Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. However, Mumbai Police arrested the three accused in Rajasthan's Kota in connection with the case. Two of the arrested accused have been identified as Ritik, alias Roshan, from Begusarai in Bihar, and Rehan from Sonipat in Haryana. Police have registered a case under charges of attempted murder and relevant provisions of the Arms Act. Investigators are also examining the alleged links between the accused and members of organised criminal networks. Police said Rehan was in contact with Anil Pandit, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which claimed responsibility for the attack in an unverified social media post. Meanwhile, a purported audio clip allegedly featuring Pandit, a 32-year-old US-based gangster from Panipat, has circulated widely on media platforms. In the recording, he allegedly claims that Tiger Shroff was targeted for ignoring warnings against working with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. However, the authenticity of the audio clip has not been independently verified. Police are continuing to interrogate the arrested accused to establish the motive, identify the original intended target and ascertain the wider conspiracy behind the attack.

Rubio, Jaishankar discuss energy security, defence ties amid continuing friction in India-US ties
Mumbai/New Delhi, Oct 20: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday held wide-ranging talks largely focusing on cooperation in the energy and defence sectors against the backdrop of continuing friction in bilateral ties. The Jaishankar-Rubio meeting took place shortly after the top US diplomat landed in Mumbai on a three-day India visit that came nearly five months after his first trip to the country as the Secretary of State. Before his talks with Jaishankar, Rubio visited the Taj memorial and laid a wreath in honour of the victims of the horrific 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks that included six American citizens. In Mumbai, Indian External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar and I discussed energy security and defense cooperation while reaffirming the importance of advancing the U.S.-India strategic partnership, the US Secretary of State said on social media. The top diplomat also answered questions from the media on the India-US energy ties as well as his trip to Reliance Industries Ltd's refinery in Jamnagar on Wednesday. In order for energy to become usable, you have to refine it. You have a company with a massive amount of refining capability. I think I should go talk to them, especially when it involves nation-states, he said. We're going to go see a company that has a tremendous amount of refining capability. It makes all the sense in the world to talk to them about it. It's very difficult to understand something or see what the possibilities are if you're not going to speak to them, he noted. The US Secretary of State also responded to a query on India's procurement of Russian crude oil. India has expressed repeatedly its desire to diversify its energy portfolio, which is a smart thing to do. It's not easy to do that from one day to the next, he said. I think they've made some substantial progress in that regard, and we're happy to see that. But in the end, it's not just about Russian oil; it's about India's desire to diversify, and we think we can be a source of some of its energy inputs. We have discussed Venezuela and other countries, and I think it's in our interest to have strong allies with diverse energy portfolios, he noted. It is not immediately known whether the proposed trade deal between India and the US figured in the Rubio-Jaishankar talks. Ahead of his visit, Rubio said in Uzbekistan that the US is very close to finalising the trade deal with India. He also suggested that the US waiver on tariffs for buying Russian oil was linked to the decision. Last week, US President Donald Trump suspended certain sanctions against Russia and five of the biggest buyers of Russian oil including India. We're trying to finalise the trade deal with India right now. We're very close to doing that. So that's one of the things we take into consideration when the President makes a decision about national security waivers and things of that nature, Rubio said on Monday. India and the US have been engaged in talks since early 2025 on the proposed trade pact to address tariff friction, eliminate non-tariff barriers and boost bilateral market access. India is seeking better tariffs than its competitors for its goods in the US market. External Affairs Minister Jaishankar said a few days back that the trade talks between the two sides are nearing a landing point. The India-US relations witnessed a major downturn after Washington imposed punitive tariffs on India last year and President Trump made assertions regarding his role in de-escalating the India-Pakistan military clashes of May 2025 that drew sharp reaction from Indian officials. Washington's new immigration policy and its decision to increase H1B visa fees also contributed to the slide in India-US ties. The ties came under fresh strain after the US decided to restrict a key green-card processing programme for major global and Indian IT firms, including Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro.
Sonu Nigam has apologised to Kannadigas over his controversial remarks linked to the Pahalgam terror attack, ahead of his scheduled Bengaluru concert on October 24. The singer shared a video message addressing the controversy after pro-Kannada organisation Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) demanded that Bengaluru City Police Commissioner deny permission for the concert. In his video message, Sonu said he was willing to apologise repeatedly if it helped preserve his relationship with people in Karnataka. When you love someone and want the relationship to last, you don't mind saying sorry a thousand times, Sonu said in Kannada at the beginning of the video. So, my dear family, if anything I've said inadvertently has hurt you, I'm so sorry. You know I'm not the kind of person who would ever hurt anyone, especially my family from Karnataka. You have given me so much love and respect over the last 30 years, and I don't want any small misunderstanding to taint that relationship or cause any bitterness, he added. What did Sonu Nigam say about the Pahalgam attack? The controversy dates back to April 2025, when Sonu performed at East Point College of Engineering and Technology in Bengaluru. During the concert, a member of the audience repeatedly demanded that he sing in Kannada. Sonu responded by speaking about his longstanding affection for Karnataka and its audiences, while objecting to what he described as an aggressive manner of making the request. The incident gained renewed attention after his comments were linked to the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed after gunmen opened fire on tourists at Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. Sonu's remarks sparked criticism among sections of the Kannada-speaking community, with the issue continuing to remain contentious. Sonu Nigams Bengaluru concert The singer is scheduled to perform in Bengaluru on October 24. KRV's demand to stop the concert has brought the controversy back into focus ahead of the event. With his latest video message, Sonu has sought to put the matter behind him and reiterated that he values his longstanding relationship with Karnataka and its people.

India is a refining superpower, can process Venezuelan oil: Marco Rubio
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday described India as a refining superpower, adding that the US delegation will discuss with Reliance about producing oil in Venezuela. Asked what role India can play in meeting the world's energy demand, Rubio, who arrived in Mumbai this afternoon on a three-day India visit, said, India is a refining superpower. They have the capability to refine heavy crude. They've done so in the past, and I think as more and more Venezuelan oil comes online, it's something they can do. They also, by the way, have pre-existing oil concessions in Venezuela that can produce more themselves, Rubio told reporters in Mumbai. He said all these are positive things. I'm not claiming to you that Venezuela alone can fill the hole that could be caused by some of the things that are happening around the world, but I think over time, it most certainly can, and in the short term, it can certainly help. So, that's one of the things we'll talk about. With India,

US Secretary of State Rubio lands in Mumbai for 3-day visit; trade deal, energy in focus
Mumbai/New Delhi, Oct 20: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio kick-started a three-day visit to India on Tuesday to advance bilateral ties in energy, trade and investment, defence and critical technologies, and exchange views on the West Asia crisis. Rubio's second India visit this year comes amid persistent friction in bilateral ties. During his earlier trip in May, he held talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, besides attending a Quad foreign ministers' meeting. The visit of the US Secretary of State, who is accompanied by a large business delegation, is likely to focus largely on boosting India-US economic engagement. In their meeting in Mumbai on Tuesday afternoon, Jaishankar and Rubio are expected to deliberate on ways to further strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership. Welcome to Mumbai, US Secretary of State, on your second visit to India! Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal posted on social media shortly after the top American diplomat landed at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in India's financial capital. Rubio was received by Ashish Shelar, Maharashtra's Minister of Culture, Electronics, IT and AI, at the airport. The visit provides an opportunity to further advance cooperation across the various pillars of the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership, Jaiswal said. In addition to his meeting with Jaishankar, Rubio's engagements in Mumbai included laying a wreath at the Taj memorial to honour the victims of the 26/11 terror attack, which claimed the lives of over 160 people, including six US nationals. The top American diplomat will also attend a reception to mark the 250th anniversary of the US' independence. Discussions are expected to cover key areas of bilateral cooperation, including energy, trade and investment, defence, critical and emerging technologies, and other areas of mutual interest, Jaiswal said last week. The two sides are also likely to delve into the proposed bilateral trade deal as well as the situation in West Asia. The visit will provide an opportunity to sustain the high-level engagement between the two countries and advance our shared priorities, Jaiswal had said. Rubio will travel to Jamnagar in Gujarat on Wednesday. Ahead of his visit, Rubio said in Uzbekistan that the US is very close to finalising the trade deal with India. He also suggested that the US waiver on tariffs for buying Russian oil was linked to the decision. Last week, US President Donald Trump suspended certain sanctions against Russia and five of the biggest buyers of Russian oil, including India. We're trying to finalise the trade deal with India right now. We're very close to doing that. So that's one of the things we take into consideration when the President makes a decision about national security waivers and things of that nature, Rubio said. India and the US have been engaged in talks since early 2025 on the proposed trade pact to address tariff friction, eliminate non-tariff barriers, and boost bilateral market access. India is seeking better tariffs than its competitors for its goods in the US market. External Affairs Minister Jaishankar said a few days back that the trade talks between the two sides are nearing a landing point. The India-US relations witnessed a major downturn after Washington imposed punitive tariffs on India last year and President Trump made assertions regarding his role in de-escalating the India-Pakistan military clashes of May 2025 that drew sharp reaction from Indian officials. Washington's new immigration policy and its decision to increase the H1B visa fee also contributed to the slide in India-US ties. The ties came under fresh strain after the US decided to restrict a key green-card processing programme for major global and Indian IT firms, including Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro.
