Decision on Trinamool symbol, Bengal bypoll result will shape Mamata's future political path
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) Trinamool Congress founder and former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has decided to stay out of poll contest in next month's Assembly by-elections despite being urged and encouraged by colleagues both former and present renewing discussions over her larger political interests. Her 15 years of uninterrupted rule ended this year with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning convincingly, and her close aide-turned-bitter adversary Suvendu Adhikari anointed the Chief Minister. Since then, the 71-year-old leader has on occasions reiterated her intent to rebuild her organisation and simultaneously strengthen the Opposition INDIA platform, emphasising unity against the BJP juggernaut. Interestingly, she has now extended a hand of alliance towards arch-rival Communists, and the Congress from where she broke out in 1998. After the disintegration of Trinamool Congress, Mamata Banerjee-led faction is now involved in a bitter fight with the rival Trinamool group led by Ritabrata Banerjee to retain the original party name and its logo of twin florets, which she claims to have created herself. Political circles in West Bengal are aware of the influence the former Chief Minister enjoyed in grassroots that led to the fall of the Left Front government in 2011 after ruling uninterruptedly since 1977. But now, allegations of fraud, embezzlement, bribery, extortion, and smuggling rackets have plagued the Trinamool Congress even as rival groups clashed in quest for power. While she occasionally did exhibit an iron hand -- publicly chiding party members, dissolving and recreating leadership committees -- she was largely seen as watching helplessly while her nephew Abhishek Banerjee assumed control of the organisation. This has been voiced openly by party turncoats, and covertly by others still in her faction. She had also admitted that the responsibility of running the administration did perhaps cost the organisation somewhat, and promised to rebuild the party from grassroots. Simultaneously, Mamata Banerjee has linked her fight with the broader INDIA bloc, the acronym for Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc her followers credit her with. Though parties like Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and M.K. Stalin's Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) have since ended ties, some leaders believe that Mamata's personal relation may be convince them to return for 2029 Lok Sabha election. Many of the constituents, who stand against the Congress leading the platform, see in Mamata Banerjee an alternative who may perhaps be more involved in regional politics than for a strong pan-India footprint. But, some analysts say, Mamata's insistence on strengthening the INDIA bloc reflects her strategy to position herself as a national Opposition leader. Meanwhile, the upcoming West Bengal by-elections will be a crucial test of her faction's strength and her ability to rejuvenate the party or fulfil any national ambition. By-elections in West Bengal will be held on October 6 at Rejinagar and Nandigram Assembly constituencies after winners Humayun Kabir and incumbent Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari resigned from the respective seats. While the former chose to retain Naoda, Adhikari chose to represent Bhabanipur, where he defeated his predecessor and once-mentor Mamata Banerjee by more than 15,000 votes, against his victory margin of less than 10,000 votes over runner-up Pabitra Kar of Trinamool Congress. Kabir had extended an invitation to Mamata Banerjee to contest from Rejinagar, asserting that he can ensure her victory from the seat, and leaders of the Ritabrata-led faction insisted they would not field a candidate in Nandigram if Mamata chose to contest herself. Kabir, representing his Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP), won Rejinagar by a margin of more than 58,000 votes, clinching 51.62 per cent of the mandate. In Naoda, the margin was of less than 28,000 votes, where the AJUP Chief got just about 39 per cent of the mandate. Interestingly, though both these seats are in Murshidabad district, where Muslims comprise an estimated 70 per cent of the total population, the BJP finished runners-up, pushing the Trinamool to the third spot, portraying the overall polarisation witnessed this time. Amid the change, Mamata-led Trinamool faction now links her fight for the party symbol and Opposition unity to the broader INDIA alliance, saying that Opposition solidarity is essential to counter the BJP's dominance once she asserts power over her own party.

Hayden Panettiere's death is now believed to have come down to a single pill
Hayden Panettiere 's death was announced on 17 August, the day after she was found unresponsive in a Greenville, South Carolina apartment. Nobody knew why at the time. Weeks on, according to multiple law enforcement sources cited by TMZ, investigators believe they've narrowed it down to one tablet, taken the morning she died. The account they've pieced together goes like this. Panettiere flew from Los Angeles to South Carolina the day before her death, and is believed to have taken several drugs during that flight, sourced from what investigators describe as a long-time drug dealer supplying her with black-market prescription medication, including oxycodone. The following morning, she's thought to have taken an oxycodone pill investigators now suspect was laced with fentanyl, an opioid many times more potent than heroin, and one that's increasingly turning up in counterfeit pills made to look identical to the real thing. She was found unresponsive shortly before 2pm and declared dead at the scene, despite efforts by paramedics who'd been called to the property. The Greenville County Coroner's Office confirmed back in August that an autopsy had turned up no signs of physical trauma, but said the actual cause and manner of death remained pending further investigation. That status hasn't changed publicly since. Full toxicology results, officials have said, could take up to twelve weeks, meaning the fentanyl theory currently sits somewhere between a strong working conclusion and something still awaiting formal confirmation. The DEA is now trying to trace the pill back to whoever supplied it, working across both Los Angeles and South Carolina. It's the kind of investigation that's drawn a specific comparison already, to the case of rapper Mac Miller, whose own supplier was later convicted over drugs, fentanyl-laced pills among them, that contributed to his death. Panettiere's on-and-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother Zach were both at the apartment when it happened. A police report noted that Zach identified her to responding officers, and that Brian administered naloxone before paramedics arrived. Neither man has been named as a suspect in her death. None of this is a story that's being sprung on anyone who followed Panettiere's own account of her life. She wrote candidly, in a memoir published only months before she died, about years spent in and out of addiction, and about how genuinely hard staying in recovery actually was. What's changed isn't the subject. It's the specificity, a name for what may have finally happened, rather than a general struggle she'd already chosen to describe in her own words. She's survived by her daughter, Kaya. To most people who watched her work rather than read her memoir, she'll likely stay exactly who she was before any of this: Claire Bennet, the cheerleader who couldn't be killed, and Juliette Barnes, the country star holding a fractured band and a harder life together on Nashville. That's probably still the fairer way to remember her, even with everything else now on the record.

Gangster Prince Khan's brother Bunty arrested at Kolkata Airport while trying to flee to Dubai
Digital Desk | Dhanbad, Sep 14 (IANS) Bunty Khan, brother of notorious gangster Prince Khan, was arrested by Dhanbad Police at Kolkata Airport with the assistance of West Bengal Police while attempting to flee to Dubai using forged documents, officials said on Monday. According to police, he was apprehended by a special team moments before boarding an international flight. Following his arrest, police on Monday paraded him through Dhanbad with a rope tied around his waist. Bunty Khan had been on the run for a long time and is wanted in more than a dozen serious criminal cases registered across different police stations in Dhanbad. The charges against him include murder, extortion, offences under the Arms Act, and criminal conspiracy. Police received intelligence inputs that Banti was hiding in Kolkata and was planning to escape to Dubai via an international flight. Acting on the information, Dhanbad police formed a special team and coordinated with West Bengal Police to monitor his movements in Kolkata. The joint operation culminated in his arrest at the airport before he could fly away. During the operation, police recovered a passport along with suspected forged passports, visa-related papers, and other travel documents from his possession. Investigators are now examining the seized documents to determine their authenticity and trace the network that helped him obtain the forged papers. Authorities are also trying to identify individuals who may have assisted Banti in planning his escape abroad. Police are gathering details about his associates, hideouts during his period of absconding, and his links to the Prince Khan gangs operations. Investigators consider the arrest a major breakthrough in the crackdown against the Prince Khan gang. A few months ago, police had arrested another alleged key operative of the syndicate, Major alias Saifi, at Kolkata Airport while he too was attempting to flee to Dubai. According to police officials, Bantis interrogation could provide crucial leads about the gangs extortion network, financial transactions, and activities allegedly being coordinated from abroad. Raids are also underway to trace and arrest other accused linked to the criminal syndicate. Meanwhile, Prince Khan has been absconding for a long time and is wanted in several serious criminal cases, including murder, extortion, firing, and criminal intimidation. A Red Corner Notice has already been issued against him. Earlier, he was believed to be hiding in Dubai, but intelligence agencies recently received inputs that Prince Khan was in Pakistan.

Asia Cup 'Trophy Thief' Mohsin Naqvi Snubbed Again. Indian Women Avoid Pak Minister In Dubai
India won the Womens Asia Cup, but the trophy ceremony became the real spectacle. After defeating Sri Lanka by 72 runs for their eighth title, Indias players stayed away from the stage. The reason was Mohsin Naqvi, Pakistans interior minister, PCB chief and ACC president. The BCCI had already made its position clear: no trophy handover from Naqvi. India was willing to play the multinational tournament, but not pretend that India-Pakistan relations were normal. Fans then revived the Trophy Chor chant, recalling last years mens Asia Cup controversy. The message was sharp: India wants the title, not the political optics. This video explains the ceremony, the BCCIs stand, the no-handshake protocol and why a sporting trophy has become a diplomatic symbol in Dubai. It also shows how India separates sporting participation from diplomatic courtesy. The team won the title and still refused the ceremony again.

Iran says Oman meeting postponed at Saudi Arabia's request
Digital Desk | Tehran, Sep 14 (IANS) Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that a meeting between the foreign ministers of Iran and Gulf states scheduled to be held on the same day in Oman was postponed at Saudi Arabia's request. He made the remarks at the weekly press conference in the Iranian capital Tehran after Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi announced the meeting's deferral the previous day in a post on social media platform X.

In the interests of consensus, the regional meeting set for tomorrow in Salalah has been postponed, Omani FM Al Busaidi said on X.

Speaking to the media on Saturday, Baghaei said the gathering would hopefully be attended by foreign ministers from Gulf states as well as Iran and Iraq.

Book highlighting PM Modi's humane side to be released on his birthday
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) 'Modi Katha', a book highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's humane side, depicting compassion, affection, and sensitivity, will be released at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) here on September 17 to commemorate his birthday. Authored by well-known journalist, columnist and writer Harish Chandra Burnwal, the book will be formally launched by Minister of State for Law and Justice (Independent Charge) and Parliamentary Affairs, Arjun Ram Meghwal. The event will be presided over by IGNCA President Ram Bahadur Rai, with IGNCA Member Secretary Sachchidanand Joshi, Aaj Tak Senior Anchor Saeed Ansari, and Chitra Tripathi, ABP News Senior Anchor, to be present as distinguished guests. 'Modi Katha' is Barnwal's fifth book on Prime Minister Modi, which has been published by Prabhat Prakashan. It brings to the front the humane side of the Prime Minister, presented by the author through real-life events and personal recollections spanning the past 25 years. It is a collection of 10 true stories that highlight PM Modi's compassion, affection and sensitivity. The author has woven the recollections into a narrative using simple language and an emotionally evocative storytelling style, ensuring while facts satisfy the mind, stories speak directly to the heart, according to a statement. These touch upon different emotional phases of PM Modi's life, it added. One recounts a train journey in 1990, during which the selfless and warm behaviour of a young leader towards two fellow female passengers permanently changed their negative perception of politicians. Another story revolves around Jeet Bahadur, a teenager from Nepal, whom Prime Minister Modi then nurtured as an ordinary party worker and never forgot to embrace even after assuming office. The book also carries the poignant account of teacher Geetaben and visually impaired Pinkal, whose sensitive interaction eventually contributed to special provisions being made in the Union Budget for visually impaired students. The book recounts how immediate assistance was extended to save the life of innocent Taiba from Agra, as well as how PM Narendra Modi became a companion in the joys and sorrows of countless ordinary people, such as Chandrakant, a labourer from Hubballi, in Karnataka. Through these stories, the book seeks to show that the true meaning of governance is not merely policies and files, but the ability to feel the heartbeat of the person standing at the last rung of society, the statement said. At the end of every story, the author has mentioned sources, stated to dispel doubts arising from preconceived notions. Burnwal currently runs a YouTube channel that carries political analysis. Among his publications are 'Television Ki Bhasha', 'Sach Kehta Hoon', 'Modi Sutra', 'Modi Neeti', 'Lord of Records', 'Sangh Ki Ansuni Kahaniyan', 'Operation Sindoor: 100 Sarvashreshtha Kavitayen', and 'Unsung Sangh'. He has also created a vBook in collaboration with the INGCA. Additionally, he has produced more than 150 songs and devotional compositions in recent times. He has been honoured with the prestigious Bharatendu Harishchandra Award by the Union government and the Hindi Akademi Award, besides several other recognitions in the fields of journalism and literature.

Kahmiri Pandits mark Balidan Diwas in Jammu; reiterate 'genocide' recognition, homeland demands
Jammu, Sep 14: Displaced Kashmiri Pandits on Monday observed 36th 'Balidan Diwas' here, paying homage to members of the community and security personnel who lost their lives to violence and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The community reiterated its demand for legal recognition of the violence against and displacement of Kashmiri Pandits as genocide and called for the establishment of a separate homeland in the Valley under direct Union protection. The programme was organised by Panun Kashmir, a representative body of migrant Kashmiri Hindus, with participants wearing black armbands as a mark of remembrance. A Veer Jyoti, dedicated to the memory of community members and security personnel who laid down their lives, was lit and later taken to the sacred Bhadrakali Temple at Thalwal, on the outskirts of Jammu, where it was installed as the Amar Jyoti. We have been observing this day since 1990 to honour the martyrs and reaffirm our commitment to continue the struggle till the achievement of our goal, which is enactment of a genocide bill and separate homeland as enshrined in the Margdarshan Resolution adopted by the community following mass migration from the valley in early 1990, Panun Kashmir chairman Tito Ganju told PTI. He said the community was not only paying homage to those who lost their lives to terrorism after 1990, but also remembering those who, it believes, suffered during what it describes as seven waves of persecution in Kashmir over the past 700 years. For the past 36 years, there has been a gross violation of our fundamental rights... Our struggle is also about safeguarding the constitutional rights, particularly the rights guaranteed under Articles 14, 19 and 21, Ganju said. He reiterated Panun Kashmir's demand for reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir and a separate homeland for displaced Kashmiri Hindus, saying legislative and executive control in the proposed homeland should remain with pro-India elements. Without a separate homeland, we believe there is no other way forward, he said. He also called for the enactment of the genocide bill, proposed by the organisation in 2020, stating that the absence of statutory recognition has reduced the issue to a matter of narrative interpretation rather than acknowledgement of a crime of the highest legal order. The failure to name genocide has resulted in a lack of accountability and guarantees against recurrence, he claimed. He said the Constitution places the responsibility on the State to ensure that victims are given priority, which has still ot been achieved to this day. Ganju also raised concerns over the security of Kashmiri Pandit employees working in the Valley under the prime minister's employment package. He said the recent threats against employees demonstrated that security concerns remained despite an overall improvement in the situation. Our children who are there are effectively hostages. Imagine the kind of trauma they must be going through, he said, adding that the government measures aimed at rehabilitation would not succeed unless the security environment changed fundamentally. These experiments will not succeed unless there is a separate homeland, and no one can offer a better solution than the victims themselves, he said. Calling for continued resistance, he said, Struggle is the only option we have. If we had not struggled, this chapter would have been closed long back. Chairman of the Jammu State People's Movement, Col (Retd) Ajay Raina linked the Kashmiri Pandits' demand for a separate homeland with the Jammu region's demand for statehood. We want the two demands to come together -- the demand of the Kashmiri Pandits (for separate homeland) and our demand for a separate state of Jammu, because neither side can truly move forward without the other, he said. He said a strong Jammu would also be important for the security of Kashmiri Pandits returning to the Valley. Panun Kashmir convenor Agnishekhar said September 14 had a particular significance for the community, linking the observance to the killing of Kashmiri Pandit leader Tika Lal Taploo in the Valley on September 13, 1989. He said the day was meant not only to remember the martyrs but also to reflect on the circumstances that led to their killings and displacement of the community. We remember why they were killed, who killed them, what the purpose was and what the intent behind it was. Our struggle is rooted in confronting that intent, he said. He said the community wanted conditions in which Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs who identify with India and Indian civilisation could return to the Valley and live with security and dignity.

'Medium Pacers Are Alive Because Of Ice Baths': The Method Behind Shikha Pandey's Longevity
Ask Shikha Pandey: Ask Shikha Pandey how she is still running in and bowling fast at this stage of her career, and she does not talk about desire, or hunger, or any of the usual words. Instead, Shikha, 37, talks about recovery protocols and carrying her own tools wherever she gets to play in leagues worldwide, including in the ongoing Womens Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) and before she starts, she issues a warning. Okay. I'll be a science geek now! I have my own compression boots that I travel with and spend a lot of time on mobility and stretches. We've been very fortunate. We have the ice baths that are available. Medium pacers literally thrive on ice baths and are alive because of ice baths. So, that as well and we have a huge recovery protocol and massages and things like that. I have been very lucky to be in a franchise like TKR. Yes, we are really taken care of in that regard, Shikha told IANS in a select virtual interaction organised by FanCode, the official broadcaster of WCPL in India. Her own interest in the science behind an athlete's life in the later years has been crucial to a career that is still going strong despite last playing for India in 2023 Womens T20 World Cup. Its this reason why the subject of ageing fast bowlers, when it came up in the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) dugout, did not trouble her much. Marizanne Kapp was padded up and waiting to bat. Biju George, the former India womens fielding coach currently in the TKR set-up, raised it, and the bench laughed. We said, it's difficult as you get older as a pacer to be bowling with the same intensity. But I guess with us, we are mature enough and we have a really good understanding of our body and how it works. So, that has helped a lot. Also, the skill isn't going to go anywhere. It's just about keeping fit. I mean, probably till the time I score runs, and take wickets, I will be playing cricket and I'm really enjoying my cricket right now. I've been very fortunate and lucky that I have my own recovery equipment which I travel with here in TKR. We have some amazing people, our physio, TJ, and our trainer, Jamie, who also doubles up as the massage therapist. Both of them are amazing. So, being really taken good care of, have to see to our own. So, yes, it's really good - probably it's also about the stress part of it. The lesser stressed you are, the better you do, she added. The same instinct governs how Shikha, who has picked five wickets so far in 2026 WCPL, prepares to bowl. A slow surface in the Caribbean is not something she discovers on arrival instead, she has already studied about its nature, with the answers worked out before the first net session. I guess I'm someone who likes to meticulously prep for any tournament that I'm going to be playing at. So, on pitches that are going to be slightly on the slower side, which is what happens here in West Indies, you work on a lot of slower balls and probably deliveries that do not depend on the pitch, yorkers, and things like that. Every league that you play in challenges you with respect to the surfaces that you are going to be bowling on, predominantly me being a pace bowler. So, I like to go ahead and do a little bit of research on that part or to see a little vision videos to prepare and to get ready for the tournament, she said. The mental side gets the same treatment from Shikha, a retired squadron leader of the Indian Air Force. Be it featuring in the Womens Big Bash League in Australia, the Super Smash in New Zealand and now plying her trade in WCPL, an association which began in 2024, she relishes the challenges of being a globe-trotting cricketer. I really love being challenged. In WBBL, it was about probably bowling the surge overs and over here as well, to be bowling in the difficult phases of the tournament. I somehow still enjoy doing it and helps me in terms of, I've always harped upon the more challenging situation that you put yourself in. You have this memory bank and which keeps you then really in a good state for if you have to be in the same situation again. I firmly believe that if you've played these high intensity pressure games, that really helps you in situations when you're put up again in them. So, that's why experience probably matters, and I'm really happy to be playing cricket, honestly. Just to add, also the environment and the people - it's entirely different the way people are here in Caribbean and probably in New Zealand or Australia. So, I've really enjoyed to be able to understand and have memories and friendships with everyone that I've played cricket with, she elaborated. The memory bank is a useful idea precisely because there is nothing mystical about it, even as Shikhas analytical streak found another outlet via a commentary assignment for JioStar in their studio during the 2026 Womens T20 World Cup. I had been asked before and it's been three years since I was being asked if I wanted to do it. I just kind of did it because it was in the offseason and thought I still had a lot of time. Playing career is still on the mind, but it was just about I wanted to have a feel of how that environment is. I love talking cricket and I love cricket on the whole. So it was really nice to be doing it alongside some really great people who also have the same interest. Shikha has strong views on how attacks should be built, too, and they are not the conventional ones. Around her in the TKR bowling group is a set of young Caribbean seamers, two of whom she singled out for praise before pushing back on the idea that conditions should dictate selection. They have really good medium paces in our team. It's like we have (Jannillea) Glasgow and (Jahzara) Claxton, who's another U19 superstar, and can hit the long ball. It's the same thing with Glasgow to be a lefty. Both of them being lefty and right-arm medium pacers - it's gold dust. I would say that in any country, the pace bowling resources are always available. It's just about being able to use it properly and I am not a firm believer of the fact that you choose a team depending upon conditions. I think if your main bowlers are pacers, they'll probably be able to bowl anywhere. The Indian contingent in the league has grown considerably since her first season with the franchise, when she and Jemimah Rodrigues were the only two players from the country. Apart from Pandey, Yastika Bhatia is with her at TKR, while Barbados Tridents have Pooja Vastrakar, Harleen Deol and Kiran Navgire, which means theres ample room for chit-chats in Hindi. Actually, Pooja is a superstar and doesn't really require any input from me. The other day, I was talking to Pooja when we met and then she goes about how the foreign players start hitting you from ball one, which is probably something that differs from how we traditionally play as Indians. So, that's really nice and keeps people in a good state. I mean, I'm pretty sure Pooja has been challenged in that way and when she comes in next to bowl, she'll be ready for it. Firstly, I'm really happy that so many of the Indians have come down here to play. It used to be the first year that I played for TKR, it was just me and Jemi. But now we can probably just get to the lobby and speak to someone who speaks Hindi. It's really nice because we Indians on the whole are known to be really hardworking and people who are really good at crafting the skills. I'm really excited for everyone who's here from India to be doing well, because then it opens up another opportunity for you to be playing competitive cricket just outside of the domestic cricket and in case someone wants to make a comeback, it really helps. Hopefully, it really helps them to put up good performances and get noticed. All of this method, she said, comes from a conclusion she reached about herself a long time ago. Asked how she would like to be remembered, Shikha did not reach out for a statistic. I guess I would have said to be remembered as a good teammate, not a good athlete. I was never very talented. I have had to put in a lot of hard work and probably if you're ready to struggle, which I was, I think you can go ahead and do things in life. It's really nice because we Indians on the whole are known to be really hardworking and people who are really good at crafting the skills. I'm really excited for everyone who's here from India to be doing well, because then it opens up another opportunity for you to be playing competitive cricket just outside of the domestic cricket and in case someone wants to make a comeback, it really helps. Hopefully, it really helps them to put up good performances and get noticed. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories I look for if even a single girl who would come out to watch the game yesterday or day before got inspired by watching us and me play, that is what I take cricket for. So, just to be able to inspire someone new to take up the sport would be a really huge achievement for me, she concluded. Article Source: IANS
