PM Modis governance model has unnerved opposition parties: Sat Sharma
Jammu, Oct 17: J&K BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma CA has said that the overwhelming public appreciation of Prime Minister Narendra Modis governance model has unnerved opposition parties, which are finding it difficult to counter BJPs growing popularity, development-oriented policies and expanding public support. Sat Sharma, as per a statement, was addressing an organisational review meeting of Samba district, convened by District President Asha Rani, where he assessed the partys organisational and political activities, particularly the month-long programmes undertaken under 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'. Referring to the culmination of the nationwide campaign, organised from September 17 to October 17 to commemorate Modis 25 years of leadership, beginning as Gujarat Chief Minister in 2001 and subsequently as Prime Minister, Sat Sharma said that the programmes received an overwhelming response across Jammu and Kashmir. He said that BJP workers successfully carried the message of Modis pro-nation, pro-people and development-oriented governance to every nook and corner of the Union Territory, strengthening the partys grassroots connection. Modis historic 25-year journey represents dedicated public service, transformative governance and commitment to the welfare of every section of society. The enthusiastic response to 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' reflects growing public confidence in his leadership and vision, Sat Sharma said. Taking a sharp dig at opposition parties, he said that their political frustration was evident from their continuous attempts to criticise BJP without presenting any credible base. The massive appreciation of Modis governance model has completely unsettled the opposition. Instead of competing through performance and constructive politics, they are relying on misinformation, baseless allegations and political rhetoric. Referring to the completion of two years of National Conference rule in Jammu and Kashmir, Sat Sharma alleged that the government has failed to fulfil its major electoral promises and was attempting to divert attention from its shortcomings. People were promised employment, development and better public services, but the gap between promises and performance remains glaring. The NC leadership must explain its failures instead of blaming BJP and the Union Government. Sat Sharma asserted that BJP would continue exposing the NC governments failures while strengthening public outreach, organisational activities and grassroots engagement. The meeting was attended by BJP State Vice President Rashpal Verma, State Secretary Arun Sharma, District General Secretary Rakesh Singh Sambyal, former DDC Chairman Keshav Dutt Sharma, former DDCs Subhash Bhagat and Ramesh Kumar, various Ex Sarpanches other party functionaries.

Krunal Pandya To Lead India At Hong Kong Sixes 2026 As Khejroliya Replaces Bhuvneshwar
Hong Kong Sixes: India will have a new captain at the Hong Kong Sixes 2026, with all-rounder Krunal Pandya taking charge of the seven-member squad after Bhuvneshwar Kumar received a call-up to the national team for the upcoming tour of New Zealand, beginning October 22. Gujarat Titans pacer Kulwant Khejroliya has been named as Bhuvneshwars replacement for the tournament, which will be held from October 30 to November 1. Krunal will lead a squad comprising Shashank Singh, Rahul Tewatia, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, T. Natarajan and Khejroliya. The lineup combi nes IPL experience with batting depth and all-round options suited to the fast-paced six-a-side format. Bhuvneshwars return to the national setup after four years marks a significant development in the experienced pacers career. His international recall means he will miss the Hong Kong event, prompting a change in both the squads composition and leadership. The senior pacer earned a recall to Indias T20I squad for the five-match series against New Zealand, marking his return to the national side after nearly four years, as the BCCI announced the Shreyas Iyer-led team earlier this month. Moreover, he was also added to Indias squad for the decisive fifth and final T20I against the West Indies, set to be played on Saturday, after Arshdeep Singh suffered a blow during the fourth T20I in Hyderabad. Commenting on the development, Anuraag Bhatnagar, Director of Commercial and Marketing at Cricket Hong Kong, China, said, While we will certainly miss Bhuvneshwar Kumar at the Hong Kong Sixes 2026, we are delighted to see him earn a call-up to the national team. His return to international cricket after four years is a special milestone, and we wish him every success on Indias tour of New Zealand. We look forward to welcoming him back to the Hong Kong Sixes in the future.

ED searches 29 premises across six cities in share investment fraud case
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 16 (IANS) The ED on Friday conducted searches at 29 offices and residential properties across Mumbai, Ahmedabad and four other cities, seizing digital devices in an investment fraud linked to manipulation of share prices of two listed companies, an official statement said. During the search operations, various incriminating documents, digital devices, records of share transactions, and property documents were seized, the ED statement said. The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Mumbai Zonal Office-I, conducted the search operations at 29 premises across six cities, including Mumbai, Nashik, Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat and Bhavnagar, under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, it said. The matter is related to the manipulation of the shares of listed companies, including R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems and R&B Denims Ltd, said the ED. The premises searched include the offices of the two companies, the residences of their promoters, of persons to whom shares were allotted at low prices, offices of stock-broking and finance firms, and premises of persons suspected to have operated the promotional WhatsApp groups, the ED said. The ED investigation revealed that between April 2023 and March 2024, the two companies issued over 3.5 crore shares and convertible warrants to selected persons and entities. A large part of the money paid for these shares came from a small circle of connected persons, firms and lenders. Over the following months, the share prices were steadily pushed up, while the shares largely stayed in the same hands, it said. The investigation also revealed that from the end of December 2025 to February 2026, WhatsApp communities with names such as Multibagger Stocks sent daily uy tips on these shares to gullible retail investors. These groups were run on SIM cards obtained in the names of other persons in Haryana and Mumbai, but operated from Bhavnagar, Gujarat, it said. Lured by the tips, the number of buyers in the two shares rose from about 3,400 to over 1 lakh. On February 25, 2026, the WhatsApp groups were suddenly deleted. Both shares fell to the lower circuit and lost about 70 per cent of their value within days, leaving more than one lakh small investors with heavy losses and shares that could not be sold, the ED said.

I had stopped working in between for 3-4 years. I did a Gujarati film, and I did a film on Zee5, Hisaab Barabar. I didnt work a lot; I didnt feel like it. I did get TV offers, but I couldnt connect, or maybe I was not ready in that moment. I usually disappear for 3-4 years after doing a show. I really wanted to unlearn a lot of things. I did a lot of workshops; I was working on myself. The actor explained that her experience of working on television for extended periods had taught her several lessons. She felt the need to unlearn certain things, attend workshops and work on her personal and professional growth before returning to the screen. Rashami Desai on online trolling and being stereotyped Rashami also spoke about the impact of social media trolling and revealed that she had stopped reading comments on social media for the past three and a half months. She expressed concern over online abuse, suggesting that some trolling could be paid for. The actor also stressed the need for limits on online harassment, pointing out that such abuse had contributed to people taking their own lives. Speaking about the treatment of women in the entertainment industry, Rashami said female actors were often judged by their appearance and glamour rather than their abilities. She felt that women had been stereotyped for too long and deserved recognition for their work and dedication. The actor maintained that she had more to accomplish in her career and was confident about her abilities. However, she felt that she had not received the right platform to showcase her potential. She also spoke about being generalised as a television actor and how the medium was often viewed differently from other entertainment platforms. She said, When someone is so passionate about her work, you cannot just look at her in a glamorous way. It happened to me, and I decided not to work then. TV does not make you an object. It gives you a platform. It is a very underrated platform. TV has a stronger reach than any other platform, but its seen as taboo. So many people told me I am an overexposed face. I was told my career is over. With her return to television through Sayonee, Rashami has opened up about the professional judgments she faced during her break and her decision to take time away from work. Her remarks also highlighted her views on the perception of television actors, gender stereotyping and the challenges of navigating the entertainment industry.

New Delhi/Chandigarh, Oct 16: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said the Centre will seek Punjab government's response over two incidents in the state: a father consuming poison under pressure in Dirba and the broad daylight killing of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota in Mansa. In a post on microblogging site X, Shah said Punjab is today grappling with a rising threat of drugs, gangsterism and organised crime. He asked Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann who will ultimately bear the responsibility for the safety of Punjab's people. In Dirba, a father succumbing to pressure and consuming poison, and in Mansa, the broad-daylight murder of Parvinder Singh Jhota -- who had raised his voice against drugs -- have raised serious questions about the law and order situation in Punjab, Shah's post read. Jhota's father has levelled grave allegations against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party government and their MLA, it said, adding that the Home Ministry will seek responses from the Punjab government on both the incidents. Jhota, an anti-drug activist, was shot dead by a medical store owner at a busy market in Mansa on Tuesday. Ashwani Kumar, the store owner who fired at Jhota when he was being questioned for selling addictive drugs to an elderly man, was subsequently arrested. The first incident Shah referred to was the death by suicide of Gulzar Singh, who hailed from Dirba in Sangrur, on September 7. Gulzar's family had alleged that he consumed poison after being harassed and subjected to casteist slurs for questioning Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema about the supply of drugs in his locality. Political parties, including the BJP, have been increasingly highlighting the drug issue in poll-bound Punjab, where assembly elections are due early next year. In his X post, Shah said, In Punjab, the drug trade is flourishing, the threat of organised crime is growing, and questions are being raised about the safety of those who speak out against drugs. Addressing Chief Minister Mann, Shah said the people of Punjab want results, not publicity. Bhagwant Mann ji, the people of Punjab do not want promises, they want answers; not announcements, but results; decisive strikes against drug networks; and an impartial investigation into any political patronage received by criminals. Today, I reiterate my pledge before the people of Punjab that when our government comes to power in Punjab, we will work with full force to create a drug-free, gangster-free, and secure Punjab. Our goal is clear: strikes against the drug trade, protection of our youth's future, strict action against criminals, and the rule of law in such a way that no citizen is forced to live under the shadow of fear, the home minister said. Reacting sharply to Shah's post, Mann pointed to a drug seizure at a Gujarat port and advised the home minister to take responsibility for his own duties. In an X post in Punjabi, Mann said, Amit Shah ji, you should have consulted with your advisors before speaking about me. The BSF (Border Security Force) has jurisdiction over a 50-kilometre range. 3,000 kilograms of 'chitta' (synthetic drugs) are being seized at the Kandla port in Gujarat. Before blaming Bhagwant Mann, take responsibility for your own duties. Do not simply copy-paste tweets drafted for your sycophants. Last month, while addressing a rally in Jalandhar to mark the culmination of BJP's Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra, Shah had accused the AAP government of allowing chitta trade to run openly and vowed that the BJP would make Punjab drug-free by December 2029 if voted to power. During his Jalandhar visit on September 30, Shah had also met some families affected by the drug menace. The home minister had then asserted that those indulging in the drug trade will be sent behind bars. Remove the incompetent AAP government once and within two years, we will eradicate the drug menace, he had said.
