India emerges as key petrol supplier to Russia amid Ukrainian attacks
India has emerged as a key supplier of gasoline (petrol) to Russia amid a surge in Russian fuel imports triggered by Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries, ship tracking data showed. Russia's seaborne gasoline imports surged to a record around 125,000 barrels per day (kbd) in August, equivalent to a projected 470,000 tonnes for the month, as repeated attacks on its refineries disrupted domestic fuel production, according to energy analytics firm Vortexa. Indian refiners supplied as much as 1 million barrels of gasoline in the last two months, trade sources said. The supplies essentially came from Vadinar refinery in Gujarat, operated by Nayara Energy, which is half owned by Russia's Rosneft. Since 2022, India has pivoted towards Russia to meet a bulk of its crude oil -- raw material for making fuels like petrol and diesel. India's purchases of Russian crude oil hit a record high as the conflict in the Gulf squeezes supply from other sources. India imported more than 2.6 million ...

In a post on X, sharing glimpses from his visit, Prime Minister Modi said, A special welcome, wreath-laying at the Yangi Uzbekistan Monument and interaction with the Indian community...Here are highlights from yesterday in Tashkent. Earlier on August 15, in his Independence Day address to the nation, PM Modi said India's 'soft power' is the seventh strength of Saptadhara, highlighting Yoga, handicrafts, films, animation, gaming, digital content and the broader creative sector as key strengths. The Prime Minister is on a two-day state visit to Uzbekistan, i.e., from August 29 to 30. He landed in Tashkent on Saturday for his fourth visit to the Central Asian nation. Later in the day, PM Modi will hold delegation-level talks with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to further strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries. Upon his visit, landmark buildings across the Uzbek capital, including the iconic Hilton Hotel, were lit in the vibrant tricolour hues of the Indian national flag on Saturday. The Prime Minister was received with high energy and intense enthusiasm by members of the Indian diaspora, who hosted a cultural welcome featuring traditional dance performances and a fusion of Indian and Uzbek traditions. Reflecting on the event, PM Modi lauded the artistry on X, highlighting performances by the Bollywood Battle Group to 'Ude Jab Jab Zulfein Teri,' a fusion of Kathak with the energetic Andijan Polka, and a Kathak presentation by students of the Lal Bahadur Shastri Centre for Indian Culture.

J&K BJP holds workshop on Seva Sankalp Abhiyan
Jammu and Kashmir BJP held a one-day workshop at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, to chalk out a comprehensive roadmap for the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, marking Prime Minister Narendra Modis birthday and 25 years of his uninterrupted public service, while taking the development achievements and welfare initiatives of the Modi Government to the grassroots. As per a statement, J&K BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Sat Sharma, former BJP state President and former Minister in the Haryana Government and former National Secretary, BJP, O.P. Dhankar, the main speaker in the workshop, and BJP General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Koul chiefly addressed the workshop. Former Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh, Rajya Sabha MP Er Ghulam Ali Khatana, General Secretaries Sanjita Dogra, Baldev Singh Billawaria and Gopal Mahajan(J&K in-charge of the Abhiyan) also addressed the workshop. BJP office bearers, Morcha Presidents, District Presidents and members of the Abhiyan teams from across Jammu and Kashmir participated in the workshop. Sat Sharma, addressing the workshop, said that the Narendra Modi era has rewritten Indias development story, transforming the nation from a country struggling with policy paralysis into a confident, self-reliant and rapidly developing global power. Sat Sharma said that 2026 marks 25 years since Narendra Modi entered the highest levels of public service as Gujarat Chief Minister in 2001 and subsequently took the responsibility of leading the nation as Prime Minister. For 25 years, Narendra Modi has devoted himself to the service of the nation and its people. His politics is defined not by power, but by performance, service and the empowerment of the last person in society, he said.
A pro-active leader on solo march and an inertia-ridden organisation refusing to shrug-off its lethargy; it is an interesting-phenomena, dichotomous, that has landed Congress in a bind. Not the political rivals but the partys top leadership should take the blame for this confusion, showing no hurry to extricate themselves out of this situation. There is no doubt that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi is a man on the march. From a reluctant player, during his first two terms as Lok Sabha MP and in between becoming Congress president, he has come a long way to become proactive, daringly raising issues, political and societal. And above all managing to establish a connect with younger generation or the Gen Z who have steadfastly stood behind Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi during the last one decade. Squatting on a dharna outside Parliament Street Police station in support of pellet-injury hit youth, is the latest in the series of steps in this direction. The contrast between Mr Gandhi's high-profile individual outreach and the perception of a sluggish Congress party stems from deep structural decay, heavy reliance on a top-down (mostly defunct) leadership model, and disconnected regional hierarchies. When high-visibility campaigns fail to translate into organized local momentum, it exposes a disconnect between national optics and ground-level execution. This has repeatedly happened but there is no attempt to learn lessons and set the house in order. Despite his sensible interventions and thoughtful suggestions on vital national and international issues, Mr Gandhi gives an impression of still being a loner in the GOPs vast spread all over the country. That is strange enough. But why so? Does he himself need to reflect or change his approach towards the organisation by shrugging off indecisiveness? Shouldnt he adopt a proactive approach to set the party and its leaders right, as he has been doing in his solo efforts? Firstly, he must follow the dictum suggested by none other than Mr Gandhi himself. Pick up the right person for the right job with a strong rider of accountability. He needs to do this in the light of his observation that the party has been putting up the racing horse on the job to pull a cart and vice versa. Even before that while on a visit to Gujarat he had spoken about the BJP sleeper cells active in the state Congress (that scenario prevails in many states and Union Territories) and the need for heads to roll. It has been months now but the follow up action is still to come. The BJP and regional parties sleeper cells are thriving all over in the Congress network. An immediate follow up action on such counts would have given Mr Gandhi a decisive edge and created deterrence thereby making it easier for him to tone-up the organisation. if indecisiveness has portrayed his weakness, this attitude has emboldened those becoming roadblocks for the party to act more vigorously in internal sabotage. Reluctance to take hard decisions and tendency to protect even the failed horses under the garb of being favourites of someone, have become the Congresss bane. It is hard to believe that Mr Gandhi and other leaders are not aware of this malady. What is intriguing is that they are knowingly allowing such a situation to prevail at a greater cost not only to the party but the nation as well, as it weakens the position of countrys main premier opposition party in the overall democratic context. A strong reason behind Mr Gandhis loner status is that leaders around him in the AICC and PCCs have found a convenient way to shrug off their responsibilities and justify inaction by seeking refuge under the leaders umbrella. Rahul Gandhi naraz ho jayen ge (Rahul Gandhi will get annoyed) is their usual refrain to justify not taking decision in any particular situation. For instance, how could it be justified that it takes months, sometimes years to make organisational changes at the AICC or the PCCs level. It is a criminal negligence, firstly a non-performing leader is allowed to continue and secondly give him/her the organisational set up at a time when a change should have been affected, as a reward for non-performance. A case in point is the sensitive and strategic Jammu and Kashmir where Congress being a national party, other than the ruling BJP, has an important role to play but is being prevented to do so by organisational shortcomings which the high command refuses to remove. On the occasion of PCC president Mr Tariq Hamid Karra completing two-years in office, despite all the controversies he has courted due to his style of functioning and total lack of connect with the rank and file, the AICC in charge Syed Naseer Hussain rushed to Kashmir to work on providing a new organisational set-up to him as a reward. This happened in the backdrop of a controversy germinating from Mr Karras alleged no-appearance in Independence Day function held at the party office. Shouldnt completion of two-years in office be a stock taking time with Mr Karra asked to present his report card, for that reason any AICC or state/UTs functionaries? Appointment or Continuation in office shall be directly related to the performance of the incumbent which should be the thumb rule from AICC down to PCCs. Such scenario prevails in many other states and UTs with no sense of accountability attached anywhere. Apart from the states/UTs, another weak link is the non serious attitude of the some top AICC office-bearers particularly those made in charges of the states and UTs. In the absence of accountability, they are mostly living in comfort zones, at times becoming Mr Gandhis cheering brigade. How best to use the services of aging and well entrenched regional and national-level leaders, is a daunting challenge for Mr Gandhi as these leaders are making generational transition difficult. To tackle this situation, he needs to have a set of well-versed and trusted advisors rather than acting solo, which will also help in lessening over-reliance on brand-Gandhi. A classic case of this syndrome is at play in yet another sensitive border state of Punjab. The old-guard in the state is feverishly working unitedly to thwart generational change which has come in the form of Rahul Gandhi-loyalist PCC chief Mr Amrinder Singh, who like Mr Karra has also completed two years in office. Serious factionalism has risen ahead of 2027 assembly elections. No doubt the old-guard is taking undue advantage of the situation, but it is also a reflection on Mr Warrings functioning and ineffective handling by the central leadership. Such situations can only be tackled through quick and tough decisions. No matter if it involves removing a so-called loyalist in the overall interest of the party as is the case in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.

Delhi Red Fort blast case: NIA court takes cognizance of chargesheet
New Delhi , August 29 : A Special NIA court at Rouse Avenue on Saturday took cognisance of the chargesheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in the Delhi Red Fort blast case. The NIA had filed the first chargesheet against 12 accused persons. While accused Umar Un Nabi died in the blast, another accused is absconding. A supplementary chargesheet was also filed against two accused persons. This case pertains to the November 2025 Red Fort car bomb blast case. The NIA has already filed a chargesheet against several accused persons. One of them expired in the deadly blast that took place near the Red Fort in November 2025. Special NIA Judge Prashant Sharma took cognisance of the chargesheets filed against all accused persons. The next date of hearing is September 9. The court has asked the NIA to supply copies of the chargesheet. The NIA filed a chargesheet running into 7,500 pages against the 11 accused persons. The agency has cited 588 witnesses. Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Madhav Khurana, along with Trisha Mittal and Public Prosecutor Anil Dabas, appeared for the NIA. It was submitted that the first chargesheet against 11 accused was filed on May 14. Thereafter, a supplementary chargesheet was filed on June 27, 2026. The NIA produced accused Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, Dr. Muzamil Shakeel, Dr. Adeel Ahmed Rather, Dr. Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Soyab, Dr. Bilal Naseer Malla and Yasir Ahmad Dar before the court through video conferencing. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a 7,500-page chargesheet against 11 accused persons in connection with the blast that occurred near Delhi's Red Fort on November 10, 2025. According to the NIA, the high-intensity Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) explosion killed 11 people and injured several others, besides causing extensive damage to nearby property. The agency has invoked provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Explosive Substances Act, Arms Act and Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. Among those chargesheeted is the alleged main conspirator, Dr Umer Un Nabi, whose proceedings are proposed to be abated owing to his death. The remaining accused named in the prosecution complaint are Aamir Rashid Mir, Jasir Bilal Wani, Dr Muzamil Shakeel, Dr Adeel Ahmed Rather, Dr Shaheen Saeed, Mufti Irfan Ahmad Wagay, Soyab, Dr Bilal Naseer Malla and Yasir Ahmad Dar. The NIA alleged that all the accused were associated with Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), which was declared a terrorist organisation by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2018. According to the agency, the chargesheet is based on an extensive investigation conducted across Jammu & Kashmir, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi-NCR. The prosecution complaint reportedly contains 588 oral testimonies, over 395 documents and more than 200 seized material exhibits. The NIA has alleged a larger jihadi conspiracy involving radicalised individuals, including medical professionals, allegedly inspired by AQIS/AGuH ideology. Investigators claimed the accused reorganised the outfit as AGuH Interim during a secret meeting in Srinagar in 2022. The agency further alleged that the accused launched an operation titled Operation Heavenly Hind aimed at overthrowing the democratically elected government and imposing Sharia rule. According to the probe agency, the accused allegedly recruited members, spread extremist ideology, stockpiled arms and ammunition and manufactured explosives using commercially available chemicals. The NIA claimed that the explosive substance used in the blast was Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), allegedly prepared after multiple experiments. The investigation also allegedly revealed illegal procurement of prohibited weapons, including AK-47 rifles, Krinkov rifles and country-made pistols, along with experiments involving rocket-based and drone-mounted IEDs targeting security establishments. The agency stated that scientific and forensic examination, including DNA fingerprinting and voice analysis, helped establish the identity of the deceased accused, Dr Umer Un Nabi.
