AIADMK defection row: TN Speaker to begin hearings against 4 ex-MLAs today
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 10 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar will begin hearings on Tuesday into the disqualification petitions against four former AIADMK legislators who resigned from the Assembly and subsequently joined another political party, following a directive from the Madras High Court. The proceedings, scheduled from November 10 to 12, will examine complaints filed by AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami against former legislators Esakki Subbiah, Maragatham Kumaravel, Jayakumar and Sathyabama. The controversy originated in the political turmoil that followed the Assembly elections, when the AIADMK split into rival factions led by Palaniswami and former Minister S.P. Velumani. Both leaders submitted separate representations to the Speaker, seeking recognition of their respective groups as the legitimate AIADMK legislative party. The confrontation intensified during the confidence vote faced by the Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government. Twenty-five AIADMK legislators belonging to the Velumani faction voted in favour of the government, prompting the Palaniswami camp to demand their disqualification. Subsequently, four legislators who supported the government resigned their Assembly memberships and joined another party. The Palaniswami faction urged the Speaker not to accept their resignations and demanded action under the anti-defection provisions. However, a political reconciliation between Palaniswami and Velumani subsequently brought the rival AIADMK factions together. Following the agreement, the party requested the withdrawal of disqualification proceedings against 21 legislators, while maintaining its complaint against the four who had resigned. The proceedings against the 21 members were subsequently dropped. Dissatisfied with the delay in deciding the remaining petitions, Palaniswami approached the Madras High Court seeking directions for an expeditious decision. The High Court directed the Speaker to examine the disqualification complaints and take an appropriate decision within two months. Acting on the courts directive, the Speaker has issued notices to the four former legislators and scheduled hearings from Tuesday to Thursday. Lawyers representing both the former legislators and Palaniswami are expected to present their arguments. The final hearing has been scheduled for November 17, following which the Speaker is expected to announce his decision after examining the submissions. Significantly, Maragatham Kumaravel and Sathyabama subsequently won byelections and are currently serving as TVK legislators. Earlier, former AIADMK Ministers M.R. Vijayabhaskar and C. Vijayabhaskar had also resigned their Assembly memberships and joined another political party, reflecting the continuing realignments within Tamil Nadu politics.
Heavy rain likely in TN as Northeast monsoon gains strength; cyclone threat looms
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 10 (IANS) The northeast monsoon is gaining momentum across Tamil Nadu, with meteorologists forecasting widespread rainfall over the coming days and warning that a developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal could intensify into a cyclonic storm next week. According to rainfall statistics, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry received 25.4 cm of rainfall between October 1 and November 9, against the seasonal normal of 24.3 cm, registering a four per cent surplus. The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) in Chennai has forecast heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and strong winds at isolated places in Ramanathapuram and Thoothukudi districts on Tuesday. Moderate rainfall with thunderstorms and gusty winds is also expected in Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Mayiladuthurai, Nagapattinam, Pudukkottai, Sivaganga, Dindigul, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Theni, Tenkasi, Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari districts, besides Karaikal. The prevailing atmospheric circulation over the Comorin Sea and adjoining areas is influencing rainfall activity across southern Tamil Nadu. On Wednesday, moderate rainfall is likely at isolated places in several coastal and southern districts, including Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Ramanathapuram, Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari. Other parts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry may experience light rainfall. The weather department has indicated that rainfall activity could continue across the state until November 15. Meanwhile, attention is turning towards a fresh low-pressure area expected to develop over the southeastern Bay of Bengal around November 12. The weather officials are forecasting a system that could gradually intensify and move towards adjoining Sri Lanka by November 15. They suggested that favourable atmospheric conditions could allow the disturbance to strengthen further and potentially develop into a cyclonic storm. Tamil Nadu could experience another spell of substantial rainfall between November 15 and 20 as the weather system approaches the coast. If the system develops into a cyclone, it could potentially cross the Tamil Nadu coastline around November 19 or subsequently, the officials indicated. However, the possibility of cyclone formation, its eventual intensity and landfall location remain uncertain and will depend on the system's evolution over the coming days. The forecast has heightened attention on weather developments along Tamil Nadu's coastal districts as the northeast monsoon enters an active phase.

300 arrested, 73 brought back in a year
New Delhi, Nov 9:As the first anniversary of the brazen Red Fort blast approaches, central security agencies have tightened vigilance nationwide, backed by a fortified counterterrorism architecture and a sweeping crackdown on cross-border terror syndicates over the past year, officials said on Monday. On the eve of the first anniversary of the Red Fort blast, central security agencies have intensified vigilance following a year-long crackdown that led to over 300 arrests and the deportation of 73 high-value fugitives from abroad, the officials said. The terror strike on November 10 last year had exposed a 'Doctor Module' operated by highly educated professionals. Security agencies cracked the case within 24 hours, subsequently filing a formal charge sheet against 13 accused, including absconding paediatrician Dr Muzzafar Rather, who is currently believed to be hiding in Afghanistan. Central investigation agencies and Jammu and Kashmir police, with the help of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), identified the principal conspirator and nabbed the key perpetrators. The Red Fort blast prompted central intelligence agencies to formulate a policy to prevent such attacks. This thought led to the unveiling of 'PRAHAAR: National CT Policy and Strategy' on February 23 this year, in which policy was formulated for zero tolerance towards terrorism. The comprehensive policy sets a unified agenda for central and state machinery and its operational impact was further cemented during a high-level conference of state DGPs and central agency chiefs in September 2026. The efficacy of the PRAHAAR framework was visibly demonstrated in a massive, coordinated nationwide clampdown against the Pakistan-based ISI-backed Shahzad Bhatti Network (SBN). The Red Fort case was unique because highly qualified professionals were involved. Now, many regulations are in place, including periodic surprise checks on the sale of ammonium nitrate and other materials, an official said on condition of anonymity. The network, which utilised domestic nodes and local foot soldiers, faced severe setbacks as agencies registered over 100 First Information Reports (FIRs) and arrested more than 300 operatives. Security forces recovered improvised explosive devices (IEDs), hand grenades carrying Pakistan Ordnance Factory markings, and illicit firearms. Following these extensive operations, the SBN was formally designated as a terrorist organisation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on September 26 this year. Concurrently, multi-agency operations successfully dismantled several radical modules and dented the support frameworks of proscribed outfits such as Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Action against pro-Khalistan elements (PKEs) has similarly blunted the network designs of outfits like Babbar Khalsa International and Khalistan Zindabad Force, disrupting cross-border arms smuggling and leading to key arrests. The security agencies also stepped up containment of Bangladesh-based terror threats, arresting 27 radical operatives inspired by the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) ideology across Assam, West Bengal, Tripura, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. On the diplomatic and international front, counterterror cooperation with foreign governments has been significantly scaled up to cut off external sanctuaries and fast-track the deportation of fugitives. A dedicated extradition portal launched in September this year optimised inter-agency coordination. The officials confirmed that these sustained diplomatic efforts successfully secured the return of 73 high-value fugitives from abroad over the past year. As security forces maintain a high state of alert ahead of the anniversary, officials emphasise that the enhanced synergy between central intelligence and state police forces has substantially hardened the nation's defences against future threats. The emphasis has remained on preventing terror attacks, identifying the wider ecosystem, quick disruption, timely investigation including collection of clinching evidence - and successful prosecution to tackle the threats, the officials said. The investigation into the entire Red Fort terror network run by the 'Doctor Module' started after posters of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed terror outfit were pasted on the outskirts of Srinagar city during the intervening night of October 18-19 last year. The posters warned of attacks on police and security forces in the Valley. Srinagar police treated the matter as a serious issue, not just a one-off incident and Senior Superintendent of Police (Srinagar) G V Sundeep Chakravarthy formed several teams to investigate the case thoroughly. Srinagar police registered a case and reviewed CCTV footage, leading to the arrest of three locals -- Arif Nisar Dar alias Sahil, Yasir-ul-Ashraf, and Maqsood Ahmad Dar alias Shahid -- all with prior stone-pelting cases. Their interrogation led to the arrest of Maulvi Irfan Ahmad, a former paramedic turned Imam from Shopian, who allegedly supplied the posters and used his access to radicalise the doctors. Piecing together the interrogation of the arrested accused, the investigation led Srinagar police to Al Falah university in Faridabad. There, two doctors Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie alias Musaib, a resident of Koil in South Kashmir's Pulwama and Dr Shaheen Sayeed, a woman hailing from Lucknow - were arrested and a huge quantity of arms and ammunition, including 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate and sulphur, was seized. Aware of the crackdown by the police and central agencies, Dr Umar-un Nabi, driving an explosive-laden car, started shifting his base to avoid arrest. Nabi, a 28-year-old doctor from Pulwama, emerged as the most radicalised and key operative in the network spanning Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, and officials believe he was planning a powerful Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) blast timed around the Babri Masjid demolition anniversary on December 6 last year. However, his plan was to place a VBIED near a crowded place either in the national capital or at a site of religious importance, and then disappear, the officials said. Authorities are closely monitoring the radicalisation of youth and have been asked to flag any noticeable behavioural change in any individual immediately, said the official cited above. It may be recalled that Dr Rather and Dr Nabi reportedly held radical views even during their student days; however, both managed to stay under the radar at that time. According to the co-accused's interrogation, Nabi's transformation took a dangerous turn after a 2021 trip to Turkiye with co-accused Dr Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie, where they allegedly met JeM overground workers. Following the trip, Nabi and Ganaie, who taught at Faridabad's Al Falah University, began accumulating vast quantities of chemicals from the open market, including ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and sulphur. Much of this was stored near the university campus. That plot fell apart when a meticulous investigation resulted in the arrest of many from the 'Doctor Module' and seizure of explosives, causing panic to Nabi and ending in a premature blast outside the Red Fort, killing over a dozen people.
