Rahul Gandhi is Liar of Opposition, not Leader of Opposition: Gujarat BJP
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 24 (IANS) Gujarat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief spokesperson Anil Patel on Saturday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of spreading misleading information about constitutional institutions, as the party announced a statewide campaign to counter the Oppositions allegations over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The BJPs Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy campaign will begin on Sunday, with a march in Surat, followed by programmes in Ahmedabad and Rajkot on October 27 and Vadodara on October 28. The party said it would organise further marches across districts and cities in Gujarat, along with press conferences and public outreach programmes. Addressing a press conference at the BJPs state headquarters in Gandhinagar, Patel accused the Congress and other Opposition parties of attempting to create distrust in constitutional institutions, including the Election Commission, through what he described as false and misleading information about SIR. Opposition is acting out of political frustration and attempting to mislead the public rather than accepting the peoples mandate and playing a constructive role, he said. Referring to Rahul Gandhis functioning, Patel said: Rahul Gandhi is behaving not as the Leader of Opposition but as the Liar of Opposition. Patel also accused the Congress of placing political interests above national interest in its pursuit of power. The partys allegations against constitutional institutions and its position on issues such as infiltration are turning matters of national interest into political confrontations, he said. He maintained that the Opposition would not succeed in creating an atmosphere of anarchy or misleading the public. The campaign is intended to present facts in response to the Oppositions claims about SIR and strengthen public confidence in democratic and constitutional institutions, the party said. The first march will take place at Adajan in Surat at 5 p.m. on Sunday in the presence of state BJP president Jagdish Vishwakarma and Union Minister C. R. Patil. State general secretary Prashant Korat will also attend. On October 27, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel will attend the march in Ahmedabad, where state general secretary Ajay Brahmbhatt will also be present. A separate march in Rajkot on the same day will be attended by Vishwakarma, state co-in-charge Ajay Mahawar, Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister Nimuben Bambhaniya and state general secretary Aniruddh Dave, among other leaders. Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi will attend the Vadodara march on October 28, along with state general secretary Hitendrasinh Chauhan. The marches would bring together state ministers, MPs, MLAs, party office-bearers, elected representatives, workers, community leaders, traders association representatives, women, non-governmental organisation representatives and other citizens. Similar programmes will subsequently be organised across the state, party leaders said. The campaign will also include press conferences in districts and cities to address the Oppositions claims regarding SIR, discussions with eminent citizens, and youth interactions on the theme Democracy vs Mobocracy. Competitions for students on strengthening democracy and outreach programmes involving influential citizens and social media influencers are also planned. Youth discussions will cover Indias democratic history, the role of constitutional institutions, the Congress past use of Article 356 and the imposition of Presidents Rule in various states. Restrictions on the press and media during the Emergency will also feature, alongside discussions on institutional autonomy, infiltration and issues concerning national interest.

Indian economy anchored by solid macroeconomic fundamentals, policy interventions: RBI Bulletin
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) Navigating the global uncertainty, the Indian economy has been anchored by solid macroeconomic fundamentals and policy interventions to cushion downside risks, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said in its October 2026 issue of its monthly Bulletin on Friday, adding that the domestic economy continues to demonstrate strength as evidenced by high-frequency indicators across both industry and services. Despite being a net energy importer, GDP growth has been supported by sustained domestic demand and services. Headline CPI inflation edged up over the months and showed signs of greater generalisation across commodities, calling for a commensurate change in the monetary policy stance. The external headwinds are also being dealt with a slew of regulatory measures by the Reserve Bank to curb speculative activity in the foreign exchange market, the RBI Bulletin stressed. Strong inflows under the FCNR (B) swap window augmented reserves, while FDI, ECB, and remittance flows strengthened in August. With strong export growth, the trade deficit narrowed in September, it added. According to the monthly document, the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation edged up in September, driven by a broad-based increase in food, fuel, and core components. Double-digit growth in merchandise exports during the first six months of 2026-27 helped in narrowing the trade deficit. FDI, ECB, and remittance flows strengthened in August. Strong inflows under the FCNR(B) swap window augmented reserves, it said. On the supply side, manufacturing grew at a robust pace, while services activity strengthened further on the back of buoyant domestic and external demand. The kharif sowing concluded with total acreage above its normal level amidst a deficient and uneven southwest monsoon. After a depreciating bias till early October, the Indian rupee gained following the Reserve Banks measures to curb speculative activity in the forex market, said the Bulletin. External commercial borrowing (ECB) activity strengthened during April-August 2026, with both registrations and net inflows marking an improvement over the previous year. External sector vulnerability indicators remained contained, supported by adequate foreign exchange reserves, it added. The Indian economy has withstood the shocks well. The IMF raised Indias growth projection for 2026-27 by 60 basis points (bps) to 7.0 per cent, from its July estimate, citing stronger-than-expected momentum, driven by resilient domestic demand and robust services activity.

Shafali Verma led India to the inaugural title win in South Africa in 2023, and Niki Prasad's team retained the crown in Malaysia in 2025.

Tiger Shroff firing incident: 4 accused sent to Police custody till Oct 26
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) The four accused, including two women, arrested in connection with the Tiger Shroff firing case were produced before a magistrate's court on Thursday. The court has now sent the suspects to Police custody till Oct 26. The Delhi Polices Special Cell, NDR unit, arrested four accused in the firing incident on October 20. The four suspects arrested have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, from Sonipat (Haryana), Radha, 23, from Sitapur (Uttar Pradesh), and Babita, 23, from Azamgarh (Uttar Pradesh). If the reports are to be believed, the accused fled to Surat in Gujarat after the incident and boarded a Jaipur-bound train from there. The suspects reportedly planned to go to New Delhi and eventually escape to Nepal from there. However, they were arrested by Mumbai Police in Kota, Rajasthan, before they reached Delhi. Meanwhile, the police sources also claimed that the accused practised shooting before the attack. The reports also suggest that a misfire took place while they were testing the weapon in their hotel room in Mumbai's Andheri area. The Mumbai Police sources further revealed that the accused disclosed during the interrogation the location where they had test-fired the weapon. The weapons were reportedly test-fired as the accused wanted to ensure that the firearm was functioning properly before carrying out the attack on Tiger. Both the suspects are believed to have successfully fired the weapon during the practice session. It was also revealed during the investigation that a misfire occurred while the accused were testing the gun in their hotel room in Andheri. Sources claim that one of the bullets was fired onto the bed during the incident. However, the shot failed to raise any suspicion among hotel staff or anyone else in the hotel.

The Group of Concerned Citizens (GCC) welcomes the debate on Jammu and Kashmirs Ease of Doing Business Act, 2026. The concerns articulated by Shakeel Qalandar Sahib in From Control to Facilitation and Apprehensions, and the Safeguards Within, alongside the perspectives of Javid Hussain Mir and Malik Daniyal, raise important questions about enterprise facilitation, governance and the public interest. GCC recognises that bureaucratic delays, overlapping permissions and arbitrary discretion have burdened entrepreneurs. Investment, employment and economic opportunity are essential to Jammu and Kashmirs future. We therefore support time-bound approvals, digital single-window systems, transparent procedures and the removal of genuinely redundant clearances. The issue is whether these objectives can be achieved without weakening statutory planning, building safety and public accountability. Section 22 warrants particular scrutiny. Section 22(1) provides for relaxation of Master Plan conditions; Section 22(2) provides for deemed change of land use following approval; and Section 22(3) appears to require permission for an enterprise notwithstanding the Master Plan, building bye-laws and other applicable laws, subject to the Negative List. Section 30(2) must be read conjointly with Section 22 to clarify the scope of this overriding effect. The Act should expressly establish whether any override is confined to the specific relaxation lawfully approved, and ensure that substantive planning controls are not displaced by implication. The protection afforded under Section 30(4) to specified environmental laws is welcome. However, comparable clarity is required for statutory urban and regional planning laws, Master Plans, development-control regulations and building-safety provisions. Environmental protection and planned urban development are complementary safeguards. Protecting one while leaving the other open to displacement would create an avoidable regulatory imbalance. The Negative List is not a substitute for spatial planning. If it is exhaustive, activities outside it may in practice become permissible through the facilitation mechanisms in Schedules III and IV, even where a location lacks the road access, drainage, sewerage, utilities or environmental capacity to accommodate them. An activity may not be prohibited in itself and yet be unsuitable at a particular site. The absence of a prohibition must not be treated as sufficient justification for development; enforceable land-use controls and infrastructure-capacity tests must remain in place. Schedule IIIs provision for residential buildings up to 24 metres without prior permission raises a related concern. Unless the provision expressly preserves compliance with FAR, ground coverage, setbacks, access, road width, fire and life safety, and infrastructure capacity, it could be read as allowing substantial construction without adequate planning control. The Government should clarify the scope of the exemption and confirm that exemption from prior permission does not mean exemption from substantive planning and building standards. The proposed moratorium on inspections by competent authorities also requires clear safeguards. It must not prevent action when a violation is reported or discovered, including after construction is completed. The law should specify exceptions to the moratorium, the authority empowered to inspect, procedures for dealing with complaints and remedies for unauthorised or unsafe construction. Facilitation must not create immunity from enforcement or leave unlawful construction without an effective remedy. Removal of selected No Objection Certificates may simplify procedures, but must not extinguish the substantive requirements those clearances were intended to verify. The Act and its rules should identify the responsible authority, verification process, technical scrutiny and accountability mechanism. This is particularly important for schools and colleges, where a procedural exemption must not dilute minimum standards for site suitability, access, open space, sanitation, fire and life safety, or other essential infrastructure. School education is a matter of particular concern. The Acts operation must be reconciled with the J&K School Education Act, 2002, and the Rules framed under it, and assessed against the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, including its emphasis on the physical and functional infrastructure of schools. NEP 2020 envisages an independent State School Standards Authority in each State/UT to ensure that public and private schools meet minimum standards relating to safety and security, basic infrastructure, availability of teachers, financial probity and sound governance. Streamlined approvals must not undermine these requirements or permit institutions to operate without infrastructure commensurate with their enrollment. The Government should clarify how these statutory and policy standards will be preserved under the EoDB framework. Industrial parks require a clear and enforceable framework for allotment and use of plots. Transparent eligibility criteria, time-bound implementation, safeguards against speculative holding or unauthorised change of use, and obligations to establish and operate the approved industrial activity are necessary if the policy is to support genuine industry, investment and employment. The provision allowing professionals registered or empanelled outside Jammu and Kashmir to operate without local registration should be accompanied by clear standards for qualifications, professional accountability, insurance where appropriate, and disciplinary or grievance mechanisms enforceable within the Union Territory. Mutual recognition can reduce unnecessary barriers, but should not create a regulatory vacuum. Employment generation is a central justification for facilitating investment. The Government should clarify how the Act will promote employment for local residents, including whether lawful and transparent local recruitment or training commitments can be incorporated into industrial-park allotments and other appropriate incentives, consistently with applicable law. The principle governing delegated legislation is equally important: Rules cannot exceed, amend or contradict the parent Act. If the Act mandates that an enterprise shall be allowed, notwithstanding the Master Plan or regulatory delays, subject to the Negative List and other express statutory conditions, subordinate rules cannot introduce restrictions inconsistent with that mandate. Conversely, facilitation provisions should not be interpreted as silently extinguishing substantive planning and safety requirements. The Act itself must clearly distinguish between removing procedural delays and displacing statutory development controls; this essential balance cannot be left entirely to subsequent Rules. Deficiencies in existing Master Plans and enforcement are real. The remedy is to update plans, strengthen institutions, eliminate arbitrary procedures and improve compliancenot to make statutory planning optional. Any exceptional relaxation should be based on objective criteria, recorded reasons, technical assessment and transparent accountability. GCC therefore urges the Government to: Clarify the relationship between Sections 22 and 30, including the scope of any overriding effect, and expressly preserve applicable urban and regional planning legislation, Master Plans and development-control standards. Ensure that the Negative List and Schedules III and IV do not displace location-specific planning, infrastructure-capacity assessment or environmental safeguards. Clarify the 24-metre residential-building exemption and preserve enforceable requirements for FAR, ground coverage, setbacks, access, road width, fire and life safety, and infrastructure capacity. Define the inspection moratorium, including exceptions for complaints and suspected violations, and provide effective post-construction enforcement against unauthorised or unsafe development. Expressly protect the requirements of the J&K School Education Act, 2002, its Rules, and relevant NEP 2020 standards for school safety, infrastructure, teachers, financial probity and governance. Notify transparent rules for industrial-plot allotment, approved use, implementation obligations and employment outcomes. Establish clear qualification, accountability and grievance standards for professionals recognised through registration or empanelment elsewhere. Publish departmental responsibilities, technical capacity, verification procedures and enforcement mechanisms, with public consultation wherever required by law. The choice before Jammu and Kashmir is not between entrepreneurship and ecology, or between Ease of Doing Business and Ease of Living. It is between arbitrary administration and transparent, accountable regulation. GCCs position is clear: simplify procedures, eliminate unnecessary delays and facilitate responsible enterprisebut do not compromise statutory planning, educational standards, public safety or the public interest. Sustainable investment requires not only speed today, but also regulatory certainty, resilient infrastructure and well-planned towns and cities tomorrow.

Tiger Shroff firing case: Four more people, including two women, arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 21 (IANS) The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car has taken a new turn, with Delhi Polices Special Cell arresting four people allegedly linked to the supply of weapons and efforts to help the shooters escape. Delhi Polices Special Cell, NDR unit, arrested four accused on October 20. They have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, both residents of Sonipat district in Haryana, along with Radha, 23, from Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh, and Babita, 23, from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. The investigation is examining the alleged movement of a pistol and ammunition from Amritsar to Mumbai, the role of intermediaries in delivering the weapon and the reported attempts to help the shooters leave the city after the incident. According to the police, investigators are examining the alleged roles of the four in transporting the weapon. Kunal had recently been released from jail on bail. He allegedly met Anil Pandit through a friend. The two subsequently began communicating through an encrypted messaging application, according to Delhi Police. Police allege that, on Pandits instructions, Kunal brought a pistol and 20 cartridges from Amritsar. Sumit reportedly accompanied him during the journey. According to the police account, Kunal met Radha around two months before the incident. He allegedly told her about his activities and subsequently persuaded her to carry the weapon to Mumbai. On October 15, Kunal reportedly took Radha and Babita to New Delhi railway station. The pistol was allegedly placed inside Radhas bag. On October 17, Radha and Babita reportedly arrived in Dadar and checked into a hotel. At around 11 am that day, a minor boy allegedly collected the bag from Radha near the hotel. Police are investigating who received the bag afterwards and how the weapon was allegedly used in the firing. The firing incident took place on the evening of October 18. According to Delhi Police, Anil Pandit subsequently told Kunal that the shooters were stranded in Mumbai and allegedly asked him to arrange their escape. On the same day, Radha and Babita reportedly left Dadar for Delhi aboard the Haridwar Express. The women were apprehended at New Delhi railway station on October 20, while Kunal and Sumit were detained in Sonipat. Following the firing incident, the accused reportedly fled to Surat in Gujarat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train. Their alleged plan was to travel to New Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. Three accused were arrested by Mumbai Police in Kota, Rajasthan, in connection with the case. Further investigation is underway.

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.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 19 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted searches at 29 premises across six cities in Maharashtra and Gujarat as part of a money-laundering probe into an alleged WhatsApp-driven pump-and-dump scheme involving the shares of two listed companies, an official statement said on Monday. The EDs Mumbai Zonal Office-I carried out the searches on Friday at premises in Mumbai, Nashik (Maharashtra), Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, and Bhavnagar (Gujarat) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The investigation relates to alleged manipulation in the shares of R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems Ltd (RMDSSL) and R&B Denims Ltd. The premises searched included the offices of the two companies, residences of their promoters and persons who had been allotted shares at low prices, offices of stockbroking and finance firms, and premises linked to individuals suspected of operating promotional WhatsApp groups. According to ED, its investigation found that between April 2023 and March 2024, the two companies issued more than 3.5 crore shares and convertible warrants to selected individuals and entities. A substantial portion of the money used for these allotments came from a small group of connected persons, firms, and lenders. The agency alleged that the share prices were subsequently pushed up while a large proportion of the shares remained with the same set of holders. From late December 2025 to February 2026, WhatsApp communities with names such as Multibagger Stocks allegedly circulated daily buy recommendations for the shares among retail investors. The ED said the groups operated using SIM cards obtained in the names of other persons in Haryana and Mumbai, while their operations were allegedly run from Bhavnagar. The agency claimed the promotional campaign led to a sharp increase in buyers, trading volumes and share prices. Preferential allottees allegedly took advantage of the increased buying interest to sell part of their holdings to a large number of investors. During the searches, the ED said it identified clusters of family-linked beneficiaries, including entities associated with Affluence Gems, Kawa HUF, and Komalay Consultancy. These beneficiaries had allegedly acquired shares at low prices through preferential warrants. According to the agency, the shares were subsequently promoted through WhatsApp, X, SMS and other channels to generate buying interest. The ED said it has frozen trading accounts worth about Rs 200 crore belonging to the persons and connected entities under investigation. The agency also seized documents, digital devices, share transaction records and property-related papers during the searches. Further investigation is underway.

Structural defects shut Gujarat bridge; FIR filed against contractor over Rs 10.71-crore project
Digital Desk | Narmada, Oct 18 (IANS) The Gujarat government on Sunday ordered strict action against a contractor after serious structural defects were detected in a bridge over the Karjan river in Narmada district, forcing authorities to suspend vehicular traffic over the structure. The Roads and Buildings Department has lodged an FIR at Rajpipla police station against Surat-based Royal Infra Engineering Private Limited, which was awarded the contract to construct the bridge on the Rajpipla-Ramgadh (Navagam) road. The action follows directions from Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, who has also ordered departmental proceedings against officials and employees found responsible for construction deficiencies and negligence. The bridge was awarded to the company during 2018-19 at a tender cost of Rs 10.71 crore. Construction began on September 15, 2018, and was physically completed on August 14, 2020. During an inspection, officials noticed settlement in one of the bridge's foundations. The department subsequently directed its Quality Control Division to conduct a comprehensive inspection and assess the condition of the entire structure. The assessment revealed further defects in other parts of the bridge. After the structure was found unsuitable and unsafe for vehicular traffic, authorities suspended traffic movement over it. Taking note of the findings, Chief Minister Patel directed the department to initiate criminal proceedings against the contractor and its representatives under the applicable legal provisions. The Chief Minister also ordered action against officials and employees found responsible for the deficiencies and any negligence in the discharge of their duties. Departmental proceedings are to be initiated under the Gujarat State Civil Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1971. The action places responsibility for the bridge's construction quality under scrutiny, covering both the private contractor and the government personnel found accountable for the work. The bridge on the Rajpipla-Ramgadh (Navagam) road is an important link in the area. The suspension of traffic following the inspection has raised concerns over the consequences of structural deficiencies in public infrastructure completed several years earlier. The state government said the action is intended to ensure accountability for construction quality and public safety, saying that deficiencies and negligence in public infrastructure projects would invite action under the law and applicable service rules.
