AIP questions Mehboobas take on Congress legacy
Srinagar, Oct 27: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi on Tuesday questioned PDP president Mehbooba Muftis praise of former prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi on Accession Day, accusing her of overlooking decisions taken during their tenures that, he said, altered Jammu and Kashmirs political status. In a statement, Inam asked Mehbooba to explain her endorsement of the Congress leaders legacy, referring to the arrest of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah in 1953 during Nehrus premiership. He also questioned the changes made to Jammu and Kashmirs political and administrative institutions during Indira Gandhis tenure, including the replacement of Sadr-i-Riyasat with Governor and Wazir-e-Azam with Chief Minister. Inam said the historical record should be examined in its entirety rather than selectively invoked for contemporary political purposes. He also criticised Mehboobas praise of Congress leaders, alleging that it overlooked decisions affecting the regions political identity and autonomy. Clarifying AIPs position, Inam said holding Congress accountable for its past did not absolve the BJP of responsibility for its own decisions, particularly the changes made to Jammu and Kashmirs status in August 2019. AIP will neither whitewash Congresss historical record nor give the BJP a free pass, he said, adding that both parties should be held accountable for their respective decisions affecting Jammu and Kashmir. Inam said the people of Jammu and Kashmir deserved political honesty and a comprehensive account of the regions history rather than selective interpretations shaped by the interests of national parties.

SUFA terror module case: Rajasthan HC upholds charges against accused
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 27 (IANS) The Rajasthan High Court has dismissed appeals filed by the accused in the SUFA terror module case, upholding the trial courts order to frame charges against them. The court observed that a trial can proceed when prima facie evidence raises serious suspicion regarding alleged activities, including the procurement of explosives and involvement in a terrorist conspiracy. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal and Justice Sameer Jain dismissed the appeals, holding that the allegations and material on record warranted a trial. The court clarified that the credibility and reliability of the evidence would be examined during the proceedings. The case dates back to March 30, 2022, when police from Nimbahera Sadar police station in Chittorgarh district recovered approximately three kilograms of explosive material from a car during a checkpoint operation at Wander Square. Watches, batteries, wires, bulbs, and other items were also reportedly recovered from the vehicle. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) subsequently investigated the case and named 11 individuals as accused. Eight were arrested, while three remain absconding. Counsel representing the accused argued that several of them were not present in the vehicle when the explosives were recovered and that no incriminating materials had been seized directly from them. The defence also questioned the evidentiary value of call detail records, location data, alleged travel tickets, and electronic evidence, arguing that these materials did not establish a direct or legally sufficient connection between the accused and the alleged crime. The lawyers contended that the trial court had framed charges without adequate evidence and urged the High Court to discharge the accused. Opposing the appeals, the NIA alleged that approximately 70 youths in Ratlam had formed an organisation called SUFA. According to the agency, the group sought to influence and radicalise young people by showing them videos associated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The NIA further alleged that a secret meeting was held on March 25, 2022, during which a conspiracy was hatched to procure improvised explosive devices (IEDs), transport them to Jaipur, and carry out terrorist activities in the city. According to the agency, the alleged operation was also intended to be recorded on video, and recordings linked to the conspiracy were subsequently recovered during the investigation. The Rajasthan High Court observed that, at the stage of framing charges, a court must assess whether the available material establishes a prima facie case or creates grave suspicion against the accused. A detailed assessment of the evidences authenticity, credibility, and reliability is undertaken during the trial. The bench also noted the seriousness of the allegations concerning the proposed transportation of explosive devices to a major city such as Jaipur. By dismissing the appeals, the High Court upheld the trial courts decision to frame charges, allowing the proceedings to continue. The allegations against the accused will be tested through the judicial process, and the decision to frame charges does not, by itself, establish their guilt.

Trump says US to ban 'artificial intelligence' term, pushes 'super intelligence'
Washington , October 27 : US President Donald Trump on Tuesday [local time] said his administration would ban the use of the terms Artificial Intelligence and AI in relevant federal government documents, pushing for their replacement with Super Intelligence and SI on the grounds that the existing terminology no longer accurately reflects the capabilities of advanced technology. In a post on Truth Social, Trump questioned the continued use of the term by The Wall Street Journal and called for a shift towards the alternative terminology. When will The Wall Street Journal start calling Artificial Intelligence (AI), a very bad and inaccurate name, SI (Super Intelligence), the name which virtually everyone else is using, or soon will be, Trump said. In short order, we will be officially BANNING the term, AI/Artificial Intelligence, in all relevant documents, and everything else, due to its inaccuracy. Thank you for your attention to this matter, he added. Trump's remarks followed an executive order he signed earlier on September 30, titled Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence, directing federal executive departments and agencies to replace Artificial Intelligence and AI with Super Intelligence and SI in official communications and operations, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Under the order, the revised terminology is to be adopted in government correspondence, public communications, official websites, reports and administrative policy documents. However, the directive clarifies that previously issued regulations, existing government contracts, grants and historical archival records will not be retroactively altered. Explaining the rationale behind the change, the executive order stated that technological advances had outgrown the original framework used to describe artificial intelligence. The capabilities of todays frontier systems do much more than imitate or automate discrete aspects of human intelligence. They increasingly amplify human ingenuity and unlock new forms of creativity, empowering Americans to achieve what was previously impossible across science, medicine, and nearly every other domain of human endeavor, the order stated. The directive also sets a 60-day deadline for the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to submit proposed legislative language to Congress establishing an updated federal statutory definition of Super Intelligence and recommending corresponding amendments to existing laws. The move comes after Trump hosted leading technology executives, including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai and Jensen Huang, at the White House for discussions on technological advancement and the safe development of advanced systems. During the meeting, Trump described the sector's growth as unprecedented, while industry leaders emphasised collaboration and safety in developing emerging technologies. The proposed terminology change marks a significant shift in how the administration intends to describe advanced technology across federal operations. (ANI)
Maritime Training Institute in Jaipur loses DGMA approval following irregularities
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 27 (IANS) Approval granted to a Maritime Training Institute (MTI) in Jaipur, Rajasthan, has been withdrawn by the Directorate General of Maritime Administration (DGMA) for alleged irregularities. M/s R R Marines Academy, located at Singhu Nagar, Murlipura, Jaipur, was granted approval by the DGMA for conducting Basic Safety Training, Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats (PSCRB), Refresher for Proficiency in PSCRB, Refresher Training for Proficiency in FPFF, Refresher Training for Proficiency in PST, and Security Training for Seafarer with Designated Security Duties. After receiving complaints, the directorate had issued a Show Cause Notice dated November 14, 2025, to the MTI for alleged violation in the conduct of the exit examinations. Furthermore, the Directorate General, Shipping (DGS) had advised the MTI against admitting any new candidates, pending completion of the investigation. The MTI has, however, knowingly admitted a fresh batch of candidates who would not be able to appear for the exit exams and therefore cannot be issued with the certificate of the courses to which they had enrolled. The response to the show cause notice received from the MTI clearly indicates serious dereliction on the part of the MTI, and the explanation that it was the manager who had committed all the violations is difficult to comprehend and accept, the DGMA has stated in an order. It has been clearly noted that the DGMA's established procedures for approval of any maritime training institutes in India are underpinned by strict compliance and quality control. The DGMA directives are issued for the MTIs to implement the same in the interest of the Indian seafarers without any negligence, willful or otherwise. The DGMA monitors the institutes to ensure they maintain the set standards and may take disciplinary action if they do not comply. The DGMA has received complaints from three seafarers who had undertaken the basic safety courses at the MTI and have alleged that the promoter of the MTI had promised them jobs onboard ships and has been demanding lakhs of rupees as service charge. These seafarers claimed to have paid the promoter in cash and by electronic means. They have shared documents to support their claim, the order stated. The directorate claimed that the evidence available prima facie indicated serious illegality in the actions of the MTI. Taking cognisance of the aggregated violations, and in the interest of limiting further damage to the seafarers, the MTI was suspended, pending investigation. It was served with another show cause notice, to which the institute replied. Meanwhile, the Mercantile Marine Department in Kandla carried out a detailed investigation into the matter and submitted a report to the DGMA. This was regarding alleged malpractices detected during the exit examination of the MTI. The MMD also recommended the withdrawal of the approval accorded to the MTI. The recommendation of MMD Kandla was deliberated before the 72nd Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) Compliance Board Meeting. The recommendation of MMD Kandla was accepted by the STCW Board. Accordingly, the MTI approval, which was under suspension, has been withdrawn on the e-governance system, the DGMA has said. In the notice, the directorate has clearly announced that all existing approvals granted to M/s R R Marines Academy for all DGMA-approved courses stand withdrawn.

Gujarat: JP Nadda targets Congress over appointments linked to poll body
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 27 (IANS) Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda on Tuesday accused the Congress of attempting to influence the Election Commission through appointments to public offices during its tenure in power, while defending the poll body's functioning amid the Opposition's criticism of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Addressing the BJP's Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy rally in Ahmedabad, attended by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, Nadda cited several former election officials who, he alleged, had subsequently received positions in government or public institutions under Congress administrations. He referred to former Chief Election Commissioner T.N. Seshan, who contested against BJP veteran L.K. Advani from Gandhinagar on a Congress ticket, and former Chief Election Commissioner M.S. Gill, who was nominated to the Rajya Sabha and later served as Union Sports Minister. Nadda also cited former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot's alleged allotment of six acres of land to Naveen Chawla for an educational trust. He referred to the appointments of former Election Commissioner Sukumar Sen as vice-chancellor of Burdwan University, K.V.K. Sundaram as an adviser to the Union Home Minister, and Nagendra Singh as India's representative to the United Nations General Assembly. He further cited V.S. Ramadevi's appointments as Governor of Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka, arguing that he Congress had attempted to bring the poll body under its influence through such appointments. Defending the BJP-led government's changes to the appointment process, Nadda said: Prime Minister Narendra Modi had, in accordance with a Supreme Court judgment, included the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha in the process of selecting the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners. The Union minister accused the Congress of questioning constitutional institutions whenever their decisions went against it. The party's criticism of the Election Commission is part of a broader pattern of challenging institutions, including the judiciary and the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), he said. Referring to the Congress-led government's handling of the 2G spectrum and coal allocation controversies, Nadda alleged that the party had threatened the CAG and its officials over their reports. He also recalled former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's reported description of the Planning Commission as a group of buffoons, noting that Manmohan Singh was its chairman at the time. Nadda accused the Congress of undermining constitutional authority through the establishment of the National Advisory Council (NAC), which he said had been placed on a footing comparable to the Prime Minister's Office. He also referred to Rahul Gandhi publicly tearing up an ordinance brought by the Manmohan Singh government. The minister cited the dismissal of elected state governments under Article 356 of the Constitution as another example of what he described as the Congress's record on democratic institutions. Congress governments had dismissed elected governments on 100 occasions, with former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi responsible for 50 of those instances, he said. Nadda also invoked the Emergency, alleging that around 1.3 lakh people had been imprisoned under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act and the Defence of India Rules without trial for prolonged periods. He questioned the Congress's present claims to defend democracy in light of that period. The BJP leader said, The Congress should reflect on its electoral performance instead of blaming the Election Commission and electronic voting machines for defeats. He argued that elections were decided by voters and not by rallies or protests, and asserted that the BJP would seek another mandate under PM Modi in 2029. The rally was part of the BJP's nationwide campaign against what it describes as attempts by the Congress and the INDIA bloc to undermine democratic institutions.
Kylian Mbappe issues apology after ill-judged remarks seemingly targeting Mao Zedong
French and Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe has issued an apology for his comments, seemingly referring to Mao Zedong, the founding leader of Communist China, after Chinese broadcasters pulled off coverage of Spanish league football, along with any matches featuring Mbappe, in response to his remarks, reported Goal.com.

Harsh Malhotra slams Congress, AAP 'discomfort' over Delhi BJPs anti-anarchy march tomorrow
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 27 (IANS) Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra criticised the Opposition Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party for objecting to the BJPs proposed Loktantra Bachao Arajakta Hatao Padyatra (Save Democracy Remove Anarchy March) to be organised in Chandni Chowk on Wednesday. Malhotra said, Those who have held Delhis businesses and the general public hostage by blocking Delhis roads for weeks, sometimes in the name of students and sometimes in the name of removing the Election Commissioner, are today opposing a symbolic two-hour padyatra. This is not opposition; it is hypocrisy. He said that there is a stark difference between the protests of the opposition and those of the BJP, as their events involve anti-national slogans, violence, stone-pelting, and damage to public property, while the BJPs march will be a peaceful and disciplined padyatra within the framework of the Constitution. We will not throw stones but shower flowers in honour of democracy, said Malhotra. Pointing to another difference between the protests by the Opposition and the Delhi BJP, Malhotra said their objective is to hold Delhi hostage by creating an atmosphere of anarchy. Our objective, on the other hand, is to remove anarchy, save democracy, and raise the voice of the people, he said. Announcing that the BJP march will not lead to any disruption of business activities in Chandni Chowk, Malhotra said this is in contrast to the Oppositions stirs that cause traffic jams, disruption of businesses and inconvenience to the common people. He said that on Wednesday the workers of the Yuva Morcha and Trade Cell will ensure that business activities in Chandni Chowk continue as normal. Our programme is symbolic and will conclude peacefully within two hours, he said. Malhotra said, In a democracy, everyone has the right to dissent, but no one has the right to create anarchy. The BJP has always stood for dialogue, peace, and democratic propriety.
Bihar: Robbers loot jewellery worth Rs 3 crore in broad daylight
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 27 (IANS) Four masked, armed criminals allegedly looted gold and silver jewellery worth approximately Rs 3 crore from Kanchan Jewellers near Mahatma Gandhi Chowk on the SasaramChausa road in Kochas, Rohtas district, on Tuesday afternoon. The shop is located barely 500 metres from the local police station. According to shop owner Avinash Kumar Verma, the four criminals arrived on Apache motorcycles at around 2 pm and entered the jewellery showroom. They allegedly held the owner and staff hostage at gunpoint before collecting valuable jewellery and fleeing. The robbers also took away the digital video recorder (DVR) connected to the shops CCTV system. Following the incident, police teams rushed to the spot. Rohtas Superintendent of Police Mr Raj personally visited the showroom to assess the situation and oversee the investigation. Sadar SDPO-2 Sanjeev Kumar and Kochas Station House Officer Pramod Kumar also reached the scene and questioned the shop owner. Police are examining footage from CCTV cameras installed outside the showroom and in the surrounding area in an effort to identify the suspects. Neighbouring police stations have also been alerted as the investigation continues. The robbery has raised concerns among local traders, particularly because it occurred in a busy market area close to the police station. The incident has also brought renewed attention to the security of Kanchan Jewellers, which was targeted in a major theft last year. On the night of August 25, 2025, unidentified thieves allegedly cut through the showrooms shutter and stole jewellery worth approximately Rs 5.20 crore. Three suspects were subsequently arrested in connection with that case. The latest robbery at the same establishment has renewed questions about security arrangements and efforts to prevent repeat offences. Police are currently pursuing leads from the surrounding CCTV footage and other evidence. The exact value of the jewellery stolen in Tuesdays incident and the identities of those involved are yet to be officially confirmed.

Bihar: Rahul Raj wins Saran Teachers MLC seat as an independent candidate
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 27 (IANS) Independent candidate Rahul Raj, a BJP rebel, has won the Saran Teachers constituency in the Bihar Legislative Council elections, defeating his nearest rival by more than 800 votes. The victory dealt a setback to the NDA, RJD and Jan Suraaj candidates in the constituency. After the counting of second-preference votes, Rahul Raj has emerged victorious by 833 votes. In his first reaction after winning the election, Rahul Raj stated that he had championed the cause of teachers, and in return, they had extended their support to him. He expressed his gratitude to the teachers for this. He further pledged to raise their long-pending demands in the Legislative Council. Rahul Raj, a resident of Chhapra, is a member of the BJPs state executive committee and serves as the block pramukh of Revelganj. A teacher by profession, he is an associate professor at VIP College. He contested the election as an independent after rebelling against his party. The NDA had fielded JD(U) candidate Anand Pushkar, while the RJD nominated Jayram Yadav. Jan Suraaj fielded incumbent MLC Afaq Ahmed. However, Rahul Raj emerged victorious, defeating the candidates backed by the major political parties. Meanwhile, results and trends are emerging from the counting of votes for eight Bihar Legislative Council seats, for which polling was held on October 23. The constituencies include the Kosi Graduates seat and the Graduates and Teachers seats in Patna, Darbhanga and Tirhut, along with the Saran Teachers seat. In the Tirhut Teachers constituency, NDA-backed BJP candidate Narendra Prasad Singh has secured victory, defeating CPI candidate Sanjay Singh by 594 votes. Independent candidate Bhushan Jha finished second after the elimination rounds, while Sanjay Singh was pushed to third place. In the Patna Teachers constituency, initial trends showed BJP candidate Nawal Kishore Yadav leading, while RJD candidate Sanjeev Kumar was trailing. Counting was underway, and the margin could change as further rounds were completed. The outcome in Patna Teachers and the remaining constituencies will depend on the completion of counting and official declarations by the respective returning officers.
