Ludhiana West assembly bypoll on June 19: AAP aims to retain seat amid stiff competition
CHANDIGARH: With the announcement of by-elections to the Ludhiana (West) assembly constituency in Punjab, to be held on June 19, the battle lines are drawn. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) hopes to retain the seat, but given the recent electoral history of this segment, the bypoll is not likely to be a cakewalk for the party, especially after its rout in the Delhi assembly elections. According to the schedule released by the Election Commission of India, the official notification will be issued on May 26. The last date for filing nominations is June 2, and scrutiny of the papers will take place on June 3. Candidates can withdraw their nominations until June 5. The counting of votes will take place on June 23. The Model Code of Conduct has come into immediate effect. This by-election is being held following the demise of sitting AAP MLA Gurpreet Gogi. All three major political parties in the state have already announced their candidates. AAP has named Rajya Sabha member Sanjeev Arora, an industrialist now known for his work in social welfare. The Congress has fielded former minister and two-time MLA from this seat, Bharat Bhushan Ashu. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has nominated Parupkar Singh Ghuman, while the BJP is yet to announce its candidate. A few days ago, AAP supremo and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched the partys campaign for the upcoming assembly bypoll. In last years parliamentary elections, AAPs Ashok Parashar alias Pappi finished a distant third on the Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat, which was won by Amarinder Raja Warring of the Congress. Ravneet Singh alias Bittu of the BJP, who was earlier in Congress and the sitting MP from this seat, finished second. Out of the nine assembly segments under the Ludhiana Lok Sabha constituency, including Ludhiana (West), the BJP led in five urban constituencies, and the Congress led in four segments, including two rural ones. The ruling AAP failed to lead in any of the nine segments. It was a similar situation in the Municipal Corporation Elections in December last year. AAP won 41 out of 85 wards, falling short of a majority by seven seats, while Congress won 30 and BJP secured 18 wards. Notably, the wives of the then MLA Gurpreet Gogi (who is now deceased) and Ashok Parashar lost from their respective wards. Bharat Bhushan Ashu of the Congress was arrested when the AAP government came to power in the state three years ago in connection with a foodgrains scam. He remained behind bars for two years. However, in December last year, the Punjab and Haryana High Court quashed the FIRs registered against him, terming them pure vendetta. Both Arora and Ashu have already started door-to-door campaigns and are holding public meetings. The contest is expected to grow even more intense in the coming days.

Operation Sindoor not just miltary mission, but reflection of changing India: PM Modi
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that Operation Sindoor was not just a military mission, but he face of a changing India that reflects the country's resolve, courage, and growing strength on the global stage. Addressing the nation through his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister said, Today the entire country is united against terrorism, filled with anger and determination.' Modi hailed Operation Sindoor as a turning point in the global fight against terror, describing it as a symbol of India's growing strength and clarity of purpose. Operation Sindoor has infused new confidence and energy into the global fight against terrorism, he said. He lauded as extraordinary the precision with which Indian forces attacked the terrorist infrastructure across the border. Modi emphasised that the operation was not a one-off military action, but a reflection of a changing and resolute India. Operation Sindoor is the picture of our resolve, courage, and a changing India, he said, and delved on the impact of the operation that resonated deeply across the country. The operation's success was followed by a series of gestures in tribute to the armed forces, ranging from patriotic poems on social media to paintings by children and massive Tiranga Yatras. In many cities, youth volunteered for civil defence, wrote poems, sang songs of resolve, and children made paintings carrying powerful messages, Modi said. He talked about a recent visit to Bikaner where he was gifted paintings made by children. In cities like Katihar and Kushinagar, families named their newborns 'Sindoor' in honour of the operation, he said. The PM credited India's home-grown defence capabilities for the mission's success, following the spirit of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'. This was the ultimate bravery of our soldiers, backed by the power of weapons, equipment, and technology made in India, he said. Modi noted a renewed energy across the country towards the 'Vocal for Local' campaign post-Operation Sindoor, saying the mission had not just inspired patriotism but also strengthened the spirit of self-reliance. This victory carries the sweat of our engineers, technicians, and every citizen who contributed, he said.

Dalit family thrashed, woman disrobed over cattle row in UP village; six booked
BHADOHI: A Dalit farmer and his wife were beaten with sticks and iron rods and subjected to caste-based abuse in a village in UP, police on Sunday said. The incident took place Friday morning in Anaich village, under the Oonjh Police Station area, over grazing of cattle. Six people have been booked in the matter. According to police, the complainant was Deepak Kumar Pasi, a landless Dalit farmer, who cultivates urad (black gram) on a sharecropping basis in a local villager's field. Deepak, police said, objected to another villager's cattle grazing in his field when he, his wife, Sumitra, his elder brother, and his mother were assaulted. Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhimanyu Manglik said, When Deepak complained about Rajaram Yadav's cattle grazing in his field, Rajaram became enraged. He hurled at Deepak casteist slurs and with the help of others beat him with sticks and iron rods. According to the complaint, the attackers dragged Sumitra by her hair across the field, beat her, and disrobed her. Deepak and Sumitra were admitted to a hospital due to the serious injuries, while the four other of his family members were discharged with little treatment. Based on Deepak's complaint, police have booked Rajaram Yadav, Dilajeet Yadav, Arvind Yadav, Rajendra Yadav, Parvati Devi, and Tara Devi.
Terrorism is shared problem, we must all fight it united: Shashi Tharoor at 9/11 Memorial in NYC
NEW YORK: An all-party delegation of Indian Parliamentarians, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, visited the 9/11 memorial here and paid homage to the victims of the terror attacks, expressing solidarity and underlining that the world has to be united in the fight against the shared problem of terrorism. Tharoor said that the visit to the 9/11 Memorial was in a spirit of solidarity and was a very moving moment for us. But it was also meant to send a very strong message that we are here in a city, which is bearing still the scars of that savage terrorist attack, in the wake of yet another terrorist attack in our own country, a reference to the April 22 Pahalgam attack. He said that, unlike the US, India has had to endure a very much larger number of terrorist attacks. We came both as a reminder that this is a shared problem but also a spirit of solidarity with the victims, who included IndiansIt's a global problem, a scourge, and we must all fight it united. That was a very important message to convey, he said on Saturday. Addressing the media at the 9/11 memorial site, Tharoor said that through the visit to these countries, we are hoping to be able to explain to the world how important it is for all of us to stand together against the scourge of terrorism. Just as the US showed such resolution and determination in the wake of 9/11, so too our country has stood up against the forces of evil who attacked us on April 22, he said, referring to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir in which 26 civilians were killed. We hope that a lesson has been learnt by those who perpetrated this attack and by those who finance, train, equip and direct them, but we want to communicate to the world that we will not be sitting quietly if this is repeated, Tharoor said. We want the world to understand that this is not a time for indifference, but for mutual strength and mutual solidarity so that we can all unitedly stand up for the values that the United States has always cherished - the values of democracy, human freedom, diversity, the coexistence of people of different communities, none of which, sadly, is in the agenda of those who conducted such attacks. Tharoor said India would much rather focus on its own growth and development. But if that is going to be thwarted, or attempted to be thwarted by malign people with weapons, then we will answer them in kind. That is also part of our message - yes, perpetrators of terror should indeed be brought to justice, and we are not going to stop our hunt for those who did this latest atrocity. But we need to think about where these people are based, where they have safe havens, where they are trained, equipped, financed, guided, armed, and often directly directed to perpetrate these horrors. And they too should be accountable for what they have been doing, he said. Three of the countries that the delegation will be visiting are currently members of the UN Security Council- Guyana, Panama and permanent member US. When asked by PTI about the need for the Security Council to ensure terror entities like The Resistance Front, which had claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack, are listed under the Council's 1267 sanctions committee, he said the process involves 15 members of the Council who work by consensus. At least one of the permanent members has been helpful to one of the non-permanent members who has a direct stake in this matter, Tharoor said, making a reference to veto-wielding China and Pakistan that currently sits in the Council as a non-permanent member. Noting that while getting terror outfits listed takes time and inevitably will happen, ut at the same time, for us, the listing is only part of a process. There is something much more direct that needs to be done and we are not going to confine ourselves only to listings, diplomacy, and production of international dossiers. We are also going to exercise our right to self-defence, which every country recognises. The US has exercised that right itself on repeated occasions. Describing the Indian-American community as a force multiplier and a very influential diaspora, Tharoor said the delegation would like the community to express the concerns you share with all of us who've come from India with your elected representatives. We would like you to help sensitise public opinion and political opinion in this country about what is going on and how wrong it is, and certainly we would expect the diaspora to partake of the messaging that we are here to do, he said. We come and go, but you live here and we want you certainly to please remind people around you of what the challenges are that India is facing, Tharoor said.
