High-level MHA team to meet LAB, KDA leaders on Oct 15 in Ladakh
Srinagar, Oct 10: A high-level team from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is scheduled to visit Leh to meet leaders of the Leh Apex Body (LAB), the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) and other representatives of Ladakh for crucial talks on October 15, media reports said on Saturday. According to media reports, three LAB members expected to attend the meeting are Lakruk, climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and Ladakh Buddhist Association president Gelong Stanzin Dorjay. The KDA will be represented by Sajjad Kargili, Asgar Ali Karbalai and Ghulam Rasool Naqvi. They added that Hanifa Jan, Lok Sabha member from Ladakh, Thupstan Chhewang, former MP, Kargil Hill Development Council chairman Mohammad Jaffer Akhoon and Tashi Gyalson, former chairman Leh Hill Development Council are also expected to attend the meeting, among others. Top bureaucrats of Ladakh besides the senior MHA officials will be attending the Sub-Committee meeting.Jammu Kashmir News As per the sources, LAB chairman Chering Dorjay Lakruk said that they haven't received any written invitation for talks but the Ladakh Chief Secretary (Ashish Kundra) has briefed them that the Sub-Committee meeting will be held on October 15 and the venue this time will be Leh instead of New Delhi. Lakruk reiterated that they will be submitting replies to nine queries given to them by the MHA in last Sub Committee meeting held in New Delhi on September 9. We are ready with the replies finalized with the help of our legal advisor from New Delhi and we will hand over the document to the MHA officials,'' the LAB chairman said However, senior KDA leader Sajjad Kargili, when approached for expectations from the upcoming Sub-Committee meeting proposed to be held in Leh, said they are expecting draft of UT-level body from the Home Ministry officials. ``The draft should come from the MHA in the meeting for UT-level body with legislative, financial and executive powers,'' Kargili said. On response to MHA's 9 queries, the KDA leader said since the proposal for UT-level elected body has come from the Home Ministry, they should submit the draft. There should be no delay in it, he added. In September 9 Sub-Committee meeting in New Delhi, it was decided that there will be direct election to the UT-level body i.e. its representatives will be elected by the people and not by members of seven Autonomous Hill Development Councils. Sources said the reponse to nine queries sought by the MHA from the LAB pertained only to limited issues and not all powers which the newly-elected UT-level body will have. In September 9 talks, the Ladakh bodies were also told that land, culture, heritage, forest, environment and natural resources will be under the UT-level elected body under Article 240. In May 22 meeting held in New Delhi, the LAB and KDA reached an in-principle understanding with the Central Government on restoring democracy in Ladakh and providing Constitutional safeguards on the lines of Article 371 A, F, and G and constitution of UT-level elected body with legislative, financial and executive powers. Later, two more meetings were held by the MHA in Leh in which the issues pertaining to the UT-level body were discussed but the Home Ministry has so far not come out with broad contours of the body like its name, total number of seats, exact powers and other related issues. The UT administration in Ladakh has already notified seven District Hill Development Councils. Previously, there were two Hill Councils-Leh and Kargil. The district Kargil presently has the elected Hill Council while the Leh Council had completed its term in October last year

New Delhi, October 10 : Delhi Police on Saturday tightened security across the national capital ahead of a protest call by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and the INDIA bloc at Jantar Mantar. Police have conducted flag marches, intensified vehicle checks at border points and deployed personnel at key entry and exit routes. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has also closed entry and exit gates at several metro stations ahead of the protest. According to an official communication, Delhi Police proposed closing entry and exit gates at 57 metro stations across the national capital and reducing train frequency at these stations in view of the planned protests. Earlier, police detained a few protesters who had started gathering at Jantar Mantar for the CJP demonstration. CJP plans to hold a protest today, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. The proposed outreach comes amid an escalating political confrontation between the Opposition and the Election Commission of India (ECI) over alleged vote chori and the revision of electoral rolls. Earlier in the day, CJP activist Abhijeet Dipke alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scared of the youth and accused the Centre of waging a war against its own people through what he described as emergency-like conditions. He was speaking to reporters in Mumbai before leaving for New Delhi for the protest. He also alleged that police personnel were visiting residential areas to discourage people from joining the demonstration, asserting that peaceful protest was a fundamental right. Narendra Modi is a dictator. He is scared. Which is why he has shut down railways, metro, and all roads. If Narendra Modi is so afraid of the youth of this country, the people of this country, then why is he sitting on the Prime Minister's chair? Dipke said. To save his power, he is picking up people from trains and making announcements in societies that no one should go to the protest. The Delhi Police is going to people's homes and saying no one should protest. Why shouldn't they go? Protesting is our fundamental right. Article 19 gives us the fundamental right to protest in a very democratic and peaceful manner, and that is what we are going to do, Dipke said. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police denied permission to the party to hold a demonstration at Jantar Mantar, citing a previous breakdown of the law and order situation in the area.

Earlier in the day, the Delhi Police conducted flag marches across the Connaught Place area and detained several demonstrators near Janpath. The national capital turned into a high-security fortress ahead of the CJP protest demanding the sacking of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Over 35,000 Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel were mobilised across the capital under directives from the Union Home Ministry. Having denied permission for the gathering citing past instances of violence, Delhi Police directed on-ground teams to detain anyone attempting to demonstrate, assigning six stadiums and community centresincluding Chhatrasal and Rajiv Gandhi stadiumsas temporary holding facilities. While CAPF personnel were directed not to carry firearms, police teams were armed with batons, with instructions to avoid verbal confrontations. To ensure transparency and prevent confrontation, on-duty Delhi Police personnel have been equipped with uniform-mounted body cameras capable of recording footage even in low-light conditions. These body cams are to protect us and others. In situations of manhandling, allegations are levelled against Delhi Police. So, these body cams will prove whether we did anything to anyone or not. This will record everything, an on-duty police official said earlier. More than 35,000 Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel are deployed across the national capital ahead of the protest, amid heightened security arrangements and a directive from the Union Home Secretary to states and Union Territories to maintain the law and order situation. As a precautionary security measure, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has closed entry and exit gates at select metro stations in central Delhi, while commuters have been advised to use alternative routes amid heavy security curbs across the vicinity.

In view of alleged deliberate attempts to record and circulate videos portraying police personnel in a negative light, teams have been instructed to avoid verbal confrontations with protesters.

We will ensure Gyanesh Kumar resigns: Abhijeet Dipke says eady to go to jail ahead of protest march
Mumbai , October 10 : Ahead of the Jantar Mantar 2.0 protest scheduled in New Delhi on Saturday, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activist Abhijeet Dipke, while departing from Mumbai to Delhi, said he was ready to go to jail and would continue his fight over the alleged deletion of votes, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Dipke said threats of imprisonment would not deter him from continuing the fight, adding that he was prepared to go to jail. Speaking to ANI, Dipke said, If you think you can stop us by threatening us with jail or trying to intimidate us with the fear of imprisonment, you are mistaken. We are ready to go to jail. If you want to imprison us, go aheadimpose the NSA, the UAPA, or whatever laws you wishbut we will continue to fight to save this country's democracy. He claimed that people were being deprived of their voting rights, asserting that he would continue to fight to save the democracy of India. And we will ensure Gyanesh Kumar resigns, because over 13 crore votes have been deleted and people are being stripped of their voting rights; we will keep fighting for that cause. We have to save the democracy of India, he further said. Dipke also questioned the restrictions imposed in the national capital, alleging that the entire city had been shut down to protect Kumar. I fail to understand how Narendra Modi can shut down the entire national capital just to shield one man, Gyanesh Kumar. You have halted railway services, shut down the metro, blocked all roads, suspended the internet, Dipke added. Meanwhile, security arrangements have been stepped up across the national capital ahead of the proposed demonstration. More than 35,000 Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, amid heightened security measures and a directive from the Union Home Secretary to states and Union Territories to maintain law and order. The demonstration, scheduled to be held at Jantar Mantar today, has been claimed to be aimed at seeking accountability over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. CJP has called for a large mobilisation despite the Delhi Police denying permission for the protest. In an Instagram post, CJP said, 10th October. Jantar Mantar 2.0. We're coming together again to raise our voice against Gyanesh Kumar. Thousands of us are expected...Following the announcement, Delhi Police instructed its teams to detain anyone attempting to stage a protest, irrespective of their location, according to the details provided.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, October 10 (IANS) Actress Shehnaaz Gill has expressed her support for Mahhi Vij amid the latter's Bigg Boss 20 journey. Shehnaaz recalled how the latter stood by her during difficult times and even helped her when she did not have clothes. Taking to her social media account, Shehnaaz clarified that she has not been following Bigg Boss and, therefore, does not know whether Mahhi is playing the game well or badly.

I am not following Bigg Boss so I dont know how Mahhi is playing good or bad. But Im still supporting her, Shehnaaz wrote. Recalling the difficult phase of her life when Mahhi came forward to help her, Shehnaaz added, I was also in the same platform that Mahhi is in today and I remember how difficult it was.

'Weak decision by strong partners': Zelensky bashes Trump's oil deal with Russia
Digital Desk | Kyiv, Oct 10 (IANS) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has strongly criticised US President Donald Trump's agreement allowing Russia to supply diesel to the United States and global markets, arguing that the move would provide Moscow with additional funds to sustain its war against Ukraine and undermine ongoing efforts to secure peace. In a lengthy post on social media platform X, Zelensky said that allowing Russia to generate revenue through petroleum product exports would strengthen the Kremlin's ability to continue military operations rather than encourage an end to the conflict. Gifts to Putin will not bring peace or any benefit to the civilised world, Zelensky wrote. Russia will 'repay' the diesel with further terror and perfidy. Allowing Russia to sell petroleum products is an investment in a war that must be ended, not prolonged, he added. Trump on Friday (local time) announced a major agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin under which Moscow would supply millions of tonnes of diesel to the United States and global markets, saying the move would bring down fuel prices sharply. The announcement came at a time when a Ukrainian negotiating delegation was in Florida for two days of discussions with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The talks focused on possible arrangements to end the war, including a proposal for a ceasefire that would halt attacks on energy infrastructure. In a post published on Truth Social on Friday afternoon, Trump described his conversation with Putin as highly successful and outlined the proposed scale of Russian diesel supplies to international markets. I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter, Trump wrote. The US Treasury Department also issued a temporary licence that eases sanctions on Russian diesel exports, facilitating the proposed supply arrangement. Zelensky questioned the timing of Trump's announcement, particularly because the Ukrainian delegation was engaged in discussions with American officials on possible ways to bring the conflict to an end. He suggested that the Ukrainian team's presence in Florida could be serving as a smokescreen for the agreement reached between Washington and Moscow. Speaking to reporters, the Ukrainian President stressed that his country's representatives were in the United States to discuss ways to stop the fighting and secure a ceasefire, making the announcement of the Russian diesel deal particularly concerning for Kyiv. He then pointed to the contrast between the ongoing negotiations involving Ukrainian and American officials and the simultaneous communication between Trump and Putin, whom he described as he leader of this war. Zelensky argued that the revenue Russia would earn from diesel exports could directly contribute to sustaining its military campaign and prolonging the suffering caused by the conflict. Means more money for this war, more money to inflict suffering on us, without a doubt, he said, referring to the financial benefits Moscow could obtain from the agreement. It only feeds Putin and gives him the ability to fight even more, Zelensky said, describing the agreement as a weak decision by strong partners.

Trump attacks Nobel Peace Prize decision
Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 10 (IANS) US President Donald Trump has sharply criticised the Nobel Peace Prize committee for overlooking his claims of having ended eight international conflicts, calling the decision an embarrassment and a disservice to the United States. Addressing a Republican election rally in Syracuse, New York, on Friday, Trump said his administration had achieved an unprecedented record in resolving international disputes and argued that the United States deserved recognition for those efforts. The United States of America, represented by me as your President, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but didn't, Trump told supporters. He described the decision as an indelible stain and accused the Norwegian Nobel Committee of allowing political considerations to influence its selection. Trump said he had helped resolve eight conflicts and was working towards agreements involving Russia, Ukraine and Iran. I settled eight wars, he declared, arguing that each of the conflicts he claimed to have resolved could have justified a separate peace prize. Beyond South Asia, Trump listed disputes involving Kosovo and Serbia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Israel and Hamas among the conflicts he claimed to have resolved. He also credited himself with preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and averting wider regional warfare. Trump said his administration was now moving towards resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the confrontation with Iran. Russia, Ukraine we're going to get that all done, too and that's happening quickly, he said. He also issued a warning to Tehran, saying that Iran would have to meet American demands or face further consequences. The President criticised the Nobel committee's decision to recognise another recipient, saying he was unfamiliar with the person selected for the 2026 award. He accused the committee of failing to acknowledge what he described as extraordinary American diplomatic achievements. Trump also expressed frustration with the United Nations, claiming that the organisation had played no meaningful role in the conflicts he said his administration had resolved. In all of the wars that I have settled, I never spoke to the United Nations they were of no help to me, he said. The President argued that the award should have recognised the United States rather than an individual, saying his administration's peace efforts were undertaken on behalf of the American people. His criticism came during a campaign rally supporting Republican candidates ahead of the November 3 congressional elections, where he also highlighted his administration's economic, immigration and national security policies. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, an independent five-member body appointed by Norway's parliament. The prize recognises individuals and organisations considered to have made significant contributions to peace, international cooperation and conflict resolution.
