'Toxic And Uneducated': Azam Khan Hits Out At Babar Azam's Fanbase
Backward Point Cricket Podcast: Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Azam Khan has criticised the social media behaviour of the Pakistan fans, describing the abuse he received on the internet after a match. Speaking on the Backward Point Cricket Podcast, Azam spoke on the backlash he received from Babar Azam's fans after an international match against Ireland. One of Babar's fans, I was batting with him (Babar) in Ireland; he was at 75 or something. We needed 40 runs. Somebody commented on my Instagram picture that if you stop Babars century, 'your mom will die and your dad will get cancer.' Something like that, Azam said. Our cricketers have uneducated fanbases. Theres nothing wrong with Babar and his game. But his fanbase is very toxic. When you see those things, why would you even say that? he added. Meanwhile, he also opened up about the backlash he received regarding his fitness following Pakistan's loss to India in the T20 World Cup 2024. In the 2024 World Cup, everything was blamed on me. Dude, I played only one game and faced just one ball. How can you blame me for the entire World Cup? Azam said. All your fittest players didn't do anything either. You couldn't even chase 120 runs, yet you're talking about fitness and skills? he added. Pakistan failed to chase 120 against India in the T20 World Cup 2024 league stage and had a disastrous tournament, where they suffered a group-stage exit after losing to the USA too. Meanwhile, Azam has not played for Pakistan since the 2024 World Cup. His last game was against the USA, which the Men in Green lost in a Super Over. Since then, he has had to warm the benches or remain away from the team. Pakistan failed to chase 120 against India in the T20 World Cup 2024 league stage and had a disastrous tournament, where they suffered a group-stage exit after losing to the USA too.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor recently appeared together on Koffee With Karan Season 9, marking their return to the popular chat show after 16 years. The couple brought their trademark humour and candid conversations to the episode, sharing interesting insights into their relationship. During the conversation, Saif revealed a lesser-known habit of his wife, leaving host Karan Johar and Kareena amused. When Karan asked Saif whether Kareena was as effortlessly entertaining at home as she appeared on the show, the actor shared that he had discovered an interesting detail about her only after spending a few years together. According to Saif, Kareena prefers not to engage in conversations once she goes to bed after 10 PM. Sharing his experience, Saif said, I will tell you something about her. I didn't realise, and she never told me that she doesn't talk after 10 pm, once we are in bed. I didn't know. Kareena quickly explained her preference, saying, That's my downtime. Saif then recalled how it took him a couple of years to understand that his wife preferred some quiet time at night. He explained, It took me a couple of years to figure out. I was like why is she not saying anything? Is something wrong? Suddenly, she would go 'hmm'. Go very quiet. I am like 'Did I do something? Why is she quiet?' And it took me a long time to realise all by myself that she doesn't wanna talk. Adding to the conversation, Kareena clarified that she enjoys her personal time at night and saves her conversations for the morning. She said, That's my me time. Only in the morning I am entertaining. Her response left Karan and Saif laughing. Saif further described how energetic Kareena is throughout the day, particularly during the morning hours. He shared, In the morning there is high energy, conversations on the phone, and sometimes I am watching her talk to me and telling me what's happening and I am waiting for her to take a breath. Responding to her husband's observation, Kareena added, I am giving him all the gossip and he is not listening. For the unversed, Saif and Kareena have been married for over 14 years. The two began dating while working together on Tashan and tied the knot on October 16, 2012. They are parents to two sons, Taimur and Jeh. On the professional front, Kareena was recently seen in Daayra, co-starring Prithviraj Sukumaran. Saif, meanwhile, shared screen space with Akshay Kumar in Priyadarshan's directorial Haiwaan.

PM Modi says India's metro network expanded from 248 km in 5 cities to 1200 km in 26 cities
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday highlighted the rapid expansion of India's Metro rail network, stating that its total length has grown from just 248 km across five cities in 2014 to nearly 1,200 km spanning 26 cities today. He asserted that the accelerated expansion has transformed urban mobility and improved the quality of life for millions of commuters. In a post on X, PM Modi said, Let me ask you If India's Metro network had continued expanding at the pace it did before 2014, how long would the wait be for cities like Pune to have a Metro? YEARS.noDECADES perhaps. And that was UNACCEPTABLE. In 2014, India had just 248 km of Metro lines across 5 cities. Today, we have nearly 1,200 km across 26 cities. Over 1 crore people travel by Metro every day, he stated. The impact, according to the Prime Minister, goes eyond statistics or numbers. It means less time in traffic, more family time, greater productivity and better opportunities. This is the transformation we are working towards for urban India! he added. Earlier on Tuesday (November 3), PM Modi virtually inaugurated the 23.2 km Pune Metro Line 3 (Pink Line) elevated corridor connecting Maan/Hinjewadi (the IT Hub) to Shivajinagar (District Court Metro station). Built under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model at a cost of over Rs 8,300 crore, it significantly reduces travel time and traffic congestion for tech workers and commuters. Highlighting key operational milestones of the Pink Line, the Prime Minister emphasised that the line is operated entirely by women train operators. Approximately 30 per cent of its total power requirements are sourced from solar energy. He also laid the foundation stone for the Pune Metro Phase-II expansion, valued at around Rs 13,500 crore. This phase covers key corridors connecting residential and business hubs, including Kharadi, Wagholi, Hadapsar, Swargate, and Khadakwasla. The Prime Minister expressed delight at inaugurating another Pune Metro line, recalling that he had laid the foundation for the first phase about 10 years earlier. The HinjewadiShivajinagar service will improve connectivity for a major IT hub; the new Phase-II lines will strengthen links between older and newer parts of Pune. PM Modi highlighted how rapid urban expansion requires eco-friendly mass transit solutions. Expanding metro lines across tier-1 and tier-2 cities aims to boost ease of living, cut carbon footprints, and provide integrated multi-modal travel hubs, connecting metro stations, bus terminals, and railways. He reiterated the Union government's commitment to building sustainable, modern mass transit systems across India. He emphasised that expanding metro networks cuts down road congestion, reduces vehicular emissions, and enables seamless multi-modal connectivity with intercity bus terminals and railway stations.
BJP stages protest against bus fare hike in B'luru, accuses Cong of burdening people
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 5 (IANS) Karnataka BJP leaders staged a protest at the Majestic bus stand in Bengaluru on Thursday, condemning the Congress government's decision to hike bus fares and accusing it of burdening ordinary commuters to fund its guarantee schemes. During the protest, BJP leaders wore masks depicting Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Transport Minister Bhyrathi Suresh, and held vessels into which they dropped coins, symbolically portraying the government as bankrupt and begging for money. Leader of Opposition R. Ashoka alleged that the Congress government had increased fares out of cowardice and that the decision would adversely affect poor people who depend on public transport. People who travel by buses are poor, not rich. Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar claim that they stand with the poor. Is this what standing with them means? he questioned. Ashoka claimed that the state government owed transport corporations between Rs 5,000 crore and Rs 6,000 crore and alleged that the financial burden arising from the implementation of the guarantee schemes had affected the government's ability to clear its dues. He accused the government of failing to mobilise resources for its guarantee programmes and instead passing the burden on to the public through increased fares. This is a wicked government that only does harm to the people. They are looting the public, he alleged. Rejecting the government's argument that rising diesel prices had contributed to the fare revision, Ashoka claimed that Karnataka collected substantial cess on diesel and petrol and questioned the government's justification for increasing fares. Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy also criticised the state government, alleging that it had failed to clear around Rs 9,000 crore in pending dues to transport corporations. Questioning the financial management of the Shakti scheme, which provides free bus travel to women, Kumaraswamy asked how the government could claim credit for offering free travel while leaving substantial dues unpaid. You burden the people, take money from them and then beat your drum about providing free travel. Is this something only you can do? Can anyone not do it? he questioned. Kumaraswamy also criticised the Congress government for blaming the Centre over diesel prices while increasing the financial burden on commuters through its own policies. He questioned whether it was fair for the state government to hold the Centre responsible for rising fuel costs while overlooking the financial burden created by its own programmes. The BJP leaders demanded that the government reconsider the fare hike, alleging that ordinary commuters were being made to pay for the administration's financial mismanagement.
