Stones pelted at Srinagar-bound bus in Ludhiana's Khanna; no one injured

Ludhiana, Oct 19: A Delhi to Srinagar bus was attacked with stones near Doraha in Punjab, barely a day after another bus of the same company was targeted in Haryana. The incident took place on Sunday night when the bus was passing through Doraha in Khanna, said police. A stone thrown from the roadside smashed a windowpane, sending panic among passengers. However, no one was injured. As soon as the information reached the police, a police team rushed to the spot and the bus was escorted safely out of Khanna. Khanna Superintendent of Police (Investigation) R K Yadav said an FIR has been registered at the Doraha police station and CCTV footage from nearby dhabas, petrol pumps and toll points is being scanned to trace the miscreants. The police are treating the case with extra seriousness because the bus belongs to the same transport company whose vehicle was attacked in Haryana's Karnal on Saturday. Both incidents involve the same operator. We are probing whether there is a link between the two attacks, Yadav said. The police said the Doraha stretch of GT Road has witnessed similar incidents in the past, where trucks and buses have been pelted with stones, often by miscreants taking advantage of darkness and isolated spots. The back-to-back attacks have raised questions over the safety of night-time inter-state passengers, especially on the busy Delhi-Jammu-Srinagar route. Investigation is underway to ascertain whether the attack was a case of mischief, extortion, rivalry or a targeted attempt. The bus resumed its journey to Srinagar after a brief halt under police escort. A Jammu and Kashmir-bound bus was pelted with stones following a dispute in Haryana's Karnal district, leaving a passenger and a dhaba employee injured on Saturday. The incident drew a reaction from Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who said his office had taken up the matter with the Haryana government.

Addressing the inaugural ceremony, Saini said the soil of Rakhigarhi preserved the legacy of the hard work, craftsmanship and advanced civilisation of India's ancestors. He described the historic site as a symbol of the region's thousands-of-years-old identity, cultural affinity and pride. The festival's theme this year is Maati Se Mahotsav Tak (From Earth to Festival). Heritage and Tourism Minister Arvind Kumar Sharma was also present at the event. The Chief Minister assured the village panchayat that its demands, submitted through a memorandum, would be addressed. He also announced financial assistance of Rs 51 lakh for the panchayat. Before inaugurating the festival, Saini visited the museum under construction at Rakhigarhi and inspected various stalls, sports activities and other attractions organised at the site. He also reviewed a demonstration by the Archaeology Department explaining the excavation process and displaying artefacts recovered during archaeological digs. Saini, Sharma and Haryana Heritage and Tourism Department Commissioner and Secretary Amit Agrawal also examined a seal displayed at the site. Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said the festival would provide an opportunity for people to reconnect with their roots and understand their responsibilities towards future generations. Explaining the significance of the theme, he said the soil becomes food in a farmer's hands, takes shape in a potter's hands and becomes an expression of culture through an artist's work. While Kurukshetra conveyed the message of action and duty to humanity, Rakhigarhi revealed the story of an organised human civilisation dating back thousands of years, he said. The archaeological remains at the site, including pottery, beads, seals and craft-related objects, offer valuable insights into the creativity of ancient communities and the evolution of human life, agriculture, craftsmanship and social organisation.

Apologise to community or face consequences: Lawrence Bishnois cousin to Salman Khan after attack on Tiger Shroff

Digital Desk | Abohar (Punjab), Oct 19 (IANS) Ramesh Bishnoi, cousin of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, said on Monday that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan should apologise to the Bishnoi community and if he does not, there will be dangerous consequences. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has an animosity with Salman Khan due to his alleged involvement in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan during the filming of the blockbuster 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'. The actor was convicted by a trial court in 2018, a verdict he has contested in higher courts, and maintains his innocence. Speaking to IANS in the aftermath of an attack on Tiger Shroff, which the Bollywood star narrowly escaped, Ramesh Bishnoi said, As you heard in the audio, I heard the same thing: That we have stopped him and want to warn him again that anyone who works with Salman Khan could face consequences. He added that he was just quoting the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, These are not my words, Im just citing their emotions on the matter. I want to tell Salman Khans family to give up their stubbornness. This is an issue affecting the entire community, and there is widespread anger within it, he added. Ramesh Bishnoi further said that there was anger within the Bishnoi community, and Lawrence is just expressing the entire communitys anger. Lawrence has no personal dispute with Salman Khan, nor is it a personal dispute with the community. The issue is that he has hurt our religious sentiments. There is widespread anger within the community, he added. He further said Lawrence had offered a straightforward solution to Salman Khan, that he should come forward and apologise, but the actor doesnt want to apologise. Bollywood star Tiger Shroff had a narrow escape on Sunday after three men on a motorcycle opened fire at his car in Mumbais Juhu area, leaving the actors driver injured, the police said. According to Mumbais Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Zone II, Mohit Garg, three rounds were fired at the 36-year-old actors car after he was leaving a playground where he had gone for football practice. The actors driver, who was injured in the incident, was rushed to Nanavati Hospital for treatment, the police said, adding that some others in the area, including an autorickshaw driver, were also hurt. There was panic at the spot of the firing incident, with people running to take shelter after hearing the gunshots. The police cordoned off the crime scene, and the forensic team reached the area to collect evidence. Later, three suspects were arrested, including a minor, by the Rajasthan police in the case on Monday at Kota railway station. Acting on Intelligence that the suspects were travelling to Kota aboard the Pune-Jaipur Express, a police team surrounded and searched the train. The operation was completed in approximately 15 minutes, following which all three suspects were taken into custody. The arrested suspects have been identified as Rehan alias Sukka, a resident of Sonipat in Haryana; Hrithik Kurmi alias Roshan, a resident of Begusarai in Bihar; and a minor. Within hours of the incident, a video clip was circulating on social media in which a man claiming to be Anil Pandit from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang took responsibility for the firing and claimed that it was a warning to Tiger Shroff to stop working with superstar Salman Khan.

Srinagar, Oct 18: The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has strongly condemned the reported attack on a Jammu and Kashmir-registered passenger bus travelling from Delhi to Srinagar in Haryana, expressing serious concern over the safety of Kashmiri passengers and alleged threats against vehicles registered in Jammu and Kashmir. According to reports, the bus, carrying around 40 passengers, was halted near a dhaba in Karnal late Saturday night when a group of men allegedly assaulted the driver and pelted the vehicle with stones and bricks, smashing its windows. An elderly Kashmiri passenger was reportedly injured in the incident. The Chamber said the reported attack and threats that Jammu and Kashmir-registered vehicles would not be allowed to operate in Haryana were deeply disturbing. Such actions, if established, are unacceptable and warrant immediate intervention. No individual or group should be permitted to intimidate passengers or restrict the movement of citizens on the basis of their regional identity or vehicle registration. The KCCI urged the Haryana Government and police to conduct a prompt and impartial investigation, identify those responsible and initiate strict legal action. It also called for a fair examination of the reported detention of some passengers following the confrontation and urged the authorities to ensure that the rights of all those involved are protected. The Chamber appealed to the Honble Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Shri Manoj Sinha, and Chief Minister Mr Omar Abdullah to take up the matter with their counterparts and the Haryana administration to ensure a thorough investigation, strict action against those responsible, and adequate safeguards for the safety of Kashmiri passengers and transport operators travelling through other states. The KCCI emphasised that the safety and dignity of every citizen must be protected, irrespective of their place of origin. Incidents of this nature risk undermining public confidence in inter-state travel and the values of unity, mutual respect and brotherhood.

Karnal bus attack: Two detained, vehicle seized

Srinagar, Oct 18: Haryana Police have detained two men after a Srinagar-bound bus was attacked with bricks and stones at a roadside dhaba in Karnal district, leaving an elderly passenger injured and the vehicles windowpanes smashed. The incident took place on Saturday night at Divine Star Dhaba near Nilokheri, along the Delhi-Srinagar National Highway, under the jurisdiction of Butana police station. Police said a preliminary investigation indicated that an argument over parking between the bus driver and a car driver had escalated into a clash. According to Karnal Police, a team reached the spot after receiving information around 10 pm on October 17 and found the bus with its windowpanes broken. Two men, identified as Mohit, the driver of a Maruti Baleno, and his associate Sawan, both residents of Karnal district, were taken into custody. The car was also seized. Police said an FIR was subsequently registered at Butana police station on a written complaint by the dhaba manager, and legal proceedings were underway. They added that no complaint had initially been submitted by the parties and that they had reportedly reached a mutual settlement before the bus left for Srinagar. The police said the preliminary investigation pointed to a sudden dispute over parking and that no evidence had emerged of a hate crime or hostility towards people from a particular state or region. They appealed to the public not to circulate unverified information on social media. The bus, operated by Star World Ventures, had left Delhi around 4 pm on Saturday with approximately 40 passengers on board. Its owner, Adil Bhat, told Rising Kashmir that the vehicle had stopped at the dhaba for dinner when an argument broke out between the driver and two men who had arrived in a car. Bhat alleged that the men initially left after the altercation but returned on a motorcycle and began smashing the bus windows with bricks. He said an elderly passenger inside the vehicle sustained injuries. He also alleged that the bus was targeted because it was registered in Jammu and Kashmir. The bus reportedly resumed its journey around 3 am on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Office of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah took up the incident with the Haryana government, expressing concern over the safety and well-being of the passengers. In a post on X, Omar said the incident should never have happened and expressed hope that Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and the state police would ensure appropriate action against those responsible to prevent similar incidents. The Chief Ministers Office said the Haryana administration had assured prompt and stringent action in accordance with the law. It added that the Jammu and Kashmir government was standing with the affected passengers and closely monitoring the situation. Several political leaders and organisations in Jammu and Kashmir condemned the incident and called for action against those responsible. Those expressing concern included Peoples Conference president Sajad Lone, PDP MLA Waheed Para, J&K BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur, Apni Party president Altaf Bukhari, CPI(M) MLA M.Y. Tarigami, the Awami Ittehad Party, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam Farooqi. The incident sparked concern over passenger safety, while police maintained that the available preliminary findings pointed to a parking dispute rather than a targeted hate crime.

RSS social work is most impactful, a source of inspiration for youth: German politician Rahul Kumar

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 18 (IANS) On the occasion of the centenary year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Rahul Kumar, Deputy Head of the city of Frankfurt in Germany and the first person of Indian origin to become an Asian City Parliament member, highly praised the organisations social work in connection with the book Hundred Years Young: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Asked about his experience with the RSS and which aspects of its work had influenced him the most in the context of the book, the German politician said, The social work of the RSS is the most impactful thing, especially for the youth. Here in Germany, we do not have the RSS; we have the HSS, and it is working here in Europe and in Germany as well. Since I was a child, I have been watching their activities. They organise cultural programmes and take up many projects for the youth. This was very impactful for me and also for my elder brother. Commenting on the book Hundred Years Young: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Rahul Kumar said, This book is perhaps an inspiration for the youth. If they read that a person of Indian origin has become the first Indian Asian City Parliament member in an international city like Frankfurt, it will be an inspiration. My goal was to give this spiritual and inspirational feeling that is in our blood; we have to feel it. In every Indian, in every person of Indian origin, there is the feeling of Bharat Mata, and you have to feel it. And I think then all the challenges that come in the future will not be as difficult as they were earlier. When asked how his personal experiences had helped him understand the RSS better and whether direct dialogue and conversation could help people develop a deeper understanding of the organisation, Rahul Kumar said that to feel the warmth of water, one has to step into the water. Therefore, to know about the RSS or the HSS, one has to connect with people. For me, RSS means Right, Seva and Satsang, he said. On the RSS completing 100 years and its contribution to nation-building, social service, discipline and the development of leadership qualities among the youth, Rahul Kumar said, It has been a long journey, but I think it was not an easy journey for the organisation because they faced many challenges. Completing 100 years while walking on the same path of humanity, service and culture is not easy. So, I feel that completing these 100 years is a big achievement for me, for the RSS and for the entire community as well. On India-Germany relations, Rahul said the ties are very friendly. There are frequent visits of delegations from both sides. I think two months ago the Chief Minister of our state of Hessen was in Maharashtra. He signed state-level agreements. One and a half years ago, I was in India with our state delegation, and we signed several state-level Letters of Intent with Uttarakhand and Haryana. Speaking about Indian culture, Rahul Kumar said they do not live it in the same way as it is lived in India. Festivals like Diwali and Holi mean a lot to us. When we say Diwali and Holi, a smile comes on our face; we can feel the colours and the joy. It is not the same when we talk about some German cultures or German festivals. How will the people living here in Germany or Europe, especially the younger generation, connect with their own country from where our parents came? I think this bridge has been very well built through the HSS, through cultural activities for children, so that they can connect with our values, with where we truly come from. He added, I was nominated as the Deputy Head of the city of Frankfurt just a few weeks ago, so now I have one more role. It is more administrative in natureconnecting people and also solving their problems at the local level. This is something I would like to do because it connects a very large number of people from different communities. So, I think it will be a good opportunity, not only for me but also for all those associated with me, to know more about my culture, my thoughts and my perspectives that I have developed here in Germany, including my projects with India. Rahul Kumar further said, In the last few years, India has had a very good international representation across the world, including in Europe. Everyone knows about our culture and our festivals. But the suggestion I would give, or what I am focusing on for next year, is to connect the youth of the world even more. There are many young people whose parents are from India or who were born in India and later moved to other countries. On how Prime Minister Modis focus on youth empowerment, entrepreneurship and innovation can help India become a developed nation and create new opportunities for the younger generation, Rahul Kumar said, I cannot say how India can become one, because I think India is already among the top countries in the world. Everyone is talking about India, about AI, about the youth, about start-ups and here in Europe and Germany we can see that so many people from abroad are coming to Germany and doing well.

It is very important to me, and I feel really great about winning these titles, Kadian said after her second match of the day. The whole week has been very great for me, playing 15 matches in a row in one week. This was a test for me, and thankfully I have passed this test quite successfully. I am very happy that my hard work has paid off. This is the biggest tournament we have, and I wanted to win this tournament at least once in my career. Kadian credited her parents and coaching team for their constant support and encouragement. The triumph also helped her overcome painful memories from an earlier edition of the Nationals. I want to be an inspiration, she added. My mother and my father, they keep me motivated, and especially my coaches. They all keep supporting me. I'm so happy that they are there for me and clapping for every point and motivating me. A few years back, in the Under-12 nationals, I got injured badly, and I wanted to win those nationals but couldnt. So, I really wanted to win the Nationals this time, and I'm very happy about it.

This is the National tournament of India, which is really prestigious to me, and I feel really great. I'm really grateful to the people who have supported me in this success. Saroha said winning the U-18 title was particularly special because he had to compete against older players. Winning the Under-18 title for me is really special. Competing against players who are older than me, it's really great to compete with them and to win the Under-18s; it's been really special.
