Following the Canada Tabernacle incident, Modi denounces violence.

In a growing political spat with Canada, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has denounced “destardly attempts to blackjack our diplomats.”

Last month the two countries expelled each other’s top envoys after Canadian officers indicted India of engaging in violent acts targeting Indian dissentients on Canadian soil, which the country has denied.  After violence broke out at a Hindu tabernacle in the Canadian megacity of Brampton on Sunday in what he described as a “deliberate attack,” Modi offered his thoughts. Similar violent incidents will not lessen India’s resolve. We anticipate the Canadian government to insure justice and uphold the rule of law,” he wrote on Twitter. Original police said three people had been arrested and charged so far for the incident in Brampton, near Toronto, but did n’t give farther details.

The force said its officers were” laboriously probing several cases of illegal conditioning”. Unconfirmed vids posted online showed people carrying unheroic flags of the Khalistan movement which seeks a separate Sikh motherland in India- colliding with others holding Indian flags. India’s foreign ministry said” crazies and secessionists” were behind the violence, calling on the Canadian government to” insure that all places of deification are defended from similar attacks”. Meanwhile, North America- grounded activist group Sikhs for Justice described the incident as an” unprovoked violent attack on peacefulpro-Khalistan protesters”. Justin Trudeau wrote on Twitter that Sunday’s violence was” inferior”, adding that” every Canadian has the right to exercise their religion freely and safely”. Relations between India and Canada have deteriorated since Ottawa indicted the Indian government of being behind the 2023 payoff of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a naturalised Canadian citizen who has been labelled a terrorist in India.

India has explosively denied this and other allegations and says Canada has handed no substantiation to support its claims. Mr Nijjar has been a oral supporter of the Khalistan movement and has also intimately campaigned for it. Concerns have been raised regarding how the rift between Canada and India will affect the two nations’ close immigration and trade relations. Bilateral trade is worth billions of bones
and about 1.7 million people of Indian origin live in Canada. Neither of the two countries has yet assessed tariffs or other profitable forms of retribution, but experts advise that could change and the cooling relationship between India and Canada could hinder farther profitable growth.

US Election 2024 News Live Updates: Washington State Activates National Guard in Case of Election Violence; Trump tries to undermine 2024 election process again

House Speaker Johnson said GOP might try to repeal CHIPS Act, then walked it back
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Friday that Republicans would “probably” try to repeal the law that boosted the production of semiconductor chips in the U.S., a statement he quickly tried to walk back and say he would instead seek to “streamline” it.

Johnson made the initial remarks while campaigning for an incumbent New York GOP congressman in a district that is hoping for a big new Micron semiconductor manufacturing plant.

A reporter asked Johnson if he would try to repeal the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act, which Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump denounced last week. “”We haven’t developed that part of the agenda yet, but I expect we probably will,” Johnson said.

Democrats quickly reacted to the Republican speaker’s comments, warning that it shows how Johnson and Trump are pushing an aggressive conservative agenda that is also intent on eliminating popular government programs.The CHIPS Act has created hundreds of thousands of employment and hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, according to the White House. Vice President Kamala Harris has touted the law during the campaign as proof that Democrats can be entrusted with the responsibility of the U.S. economy.

Donald Trump gambles with last-ditch trips to Democratic New Mexico and Virginia
Donald Trump is traveling to New Mexico and Virginia in the final days of the campaign, taking a risky detour through seven battleground states to spend time in places where the Republican presidential nominee hasn’t won in decades.

The former president was expected to travel to Salem, Virginia, on Saturday after campaigning in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Thursday.

Trump’s team is projecting optimism based on early voting numbers and thinks he can be competitive against Democrat Kamala Harris in both states — especially New Mexico, if he wins swing states Nevada and Arizona. That optimism comes even as neither New Mexico nor Virginia have been carried by a GOP candidate for the White House since George W. Bush in 2004.

In the event of election-related violence, Washington state deploys the National Guard.

Washington state’s governor said Friday he is activating some National Guard members to be on stand-by following information and concerns about potential violence related to the 2024 election.

The state, where Democrat Kamala Harris is easily expected to defeat Republican Donald Trump according to polling, was one of two states where ballot boxes were set on fire earlier in the week.

Early voting is available for Washingtonians and more than 2 million people have already cast their ballots, according to the Elections Lab at the University of Florida.

Throughout the campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris hailed the law as evidence that Democrats can take over the American economy.

In a letter posted on his website Friday, Governor Jay Inslee stated, “Given the general and specific information and concerns regarding the possibility of violence or other illegal activity related I want to make sure we are ready to respond in full to the general election in 2024.”

Trump is using election falsehoods to challenge the results of the 2024 election if he loses
Donald Trump has spent months laying the groundwork to challenge the results of the 2024 election if he loses it — just as he did four years ago.
At each event, he exhorts his followers to win an election that is “too big to be rigged,” stating that Democrats’ cheating is the only way he can lose.

Trump proclaimed victory from the White House too soon in 2020. He launched a legal and political effort to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden that culminated with his supporters storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Democrats fear he could do something similar this year before the election is called. He did not answer a question about Democratic concerns in Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday, instead focusing on attacking Vice President Kamala Harris.

Opposition hits out at Yogi Adityanath government over Bahraich encounter: ‘Law and order has collapsed’

Opposition hits out at Yogi Adityanath government over Bahraich encounter: ‘Law and order has collapsed’

The opposition on Thursday criticised the Uttar Pradesh government over the encounter of suspects linked to communal violence in Bahraich.

Five people allegedly responsible for the Bahraich violence were arrested after an encounter with the Uttar Pradesh police, of which two sustained bullet injuries.

According to the police, the accused were trying to flee to Nepal, which borders Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich district.

Reacting to the encounter, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the Yogi Adityanath-led government was carrying out encounters to hide its failure.

“This incident was an administrative failure. The government is carrying out encounters to hide its failure… If encounters would have improved the law and order situation in the state, UP would have been far ahead of most states… If permission was taken for the procession, why was it not taken out peacefully? If they cannot handle such a small event, how can they be expected to protect law and order in the state…” Akhilesh Yadav told reporters, according to ANI

India in a diplomatic dispute: “Canada will extradite Bishnoi gang members”

India in a diplomatic dispute: “Canada will extradite Bishnoi gang members”

Amid the ongoing diplomatic tension between India and Canada, India has raised concerns over Canada’s way of dealing with criminals linked to organised crime. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal today alleged that Canada is reluctant to extradite individuals linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, a notorious criminal organisation based in India, which is involved in crimes in Canada.

“We find it very strange that those whom we asked to be deported, the Canadian police are now claiming that these people are committing crimes in Canada, for which India is being blamed,” Mr Jaiswal said. According to confirmation from the United States, this person is “no longer employed by the Government of India.”

Since September 2023, diplomatic relations between India and Canada have deteriorated, primarily triggered by the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly accused India of involvement in the killing, which India has categorically rejected. During a recent press briefing, Mr. Jaiswal reiterated India’s stance, stating that there is “no evidence” connecting the Indian government to Nijjar’s murder, despite several accusations from Canada.

“We have made our position very clear through various press releases. Since September 2023, no evidence has been provided, and just last night, we issued another press release reiterating our stand,” Mr Jaiswal said. “So far Canada has not provided any evidence to support their allegations. Their allegations are politically motivated. There is this clear pattern of defaming India, for reasons best known to them.”

Apart from rejecting the allegations, India recently withdrew its diplomats from Canada citing security concerns, followed by Canada expelling several Indian officials, further straining the relationship.

“We value our strong trade ties and people-to-people ties with Canada, especially given the large number of Indian students in Canada. But the current situation is entirely caused by the Trudeau government,” Mr Jaiswal pointed out, adding that Canada benefits from these ties, and India has shown restraint despite provocative steps taken by Ottawa.

Former RAW officer ‘no longer employed’
In the same context, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) today named a former Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) officer, referred to as ‘CC1’, in its indictment for the failed plot to assassinate another Khalistani terrorist, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. According to confirmation from the United States, this person is “no longer employed by the Government of India.”

Donald Trump calls tariffs his favorite subject in interview, says ‘it’s the most beautiful word in the dictionary’

Donald Trump calls tariffs his favorite subject in interview, says ‘it’s the most beautiful word in the dictionary’

Donald Trump took advantage of an opportunity on Tuesday to explain his argument that imposing heavy tariffs on foreign goods would be akin to economic elixir — he claims it would raise huge sums for the government, protect American firms from foreign competition and induce foreign companies to open factories in the United States. Appearing before a friendly audience at the Economic Club of Chicago, the Republican presidential candidate repeatedly insisted that tariffs are misunderstood as an economic tool.

“To me,” Trump said, “the most beautiful word in the dictionary is tariffs. It’s my favorite word. It needs a public relations firm.”

If tariffs need an image makeover, it’s probably because mainstream economists say they’re actually the equivalent of a tax on American consumers, which would make the economy less efficient and drive up inflation in the United States.

Bloomberg News editor-in-chief John Micklethwait, the moderator, often struggled to keep the conversation focused on economics and business. For example, when asked if the government should break up Google after the antitrust case, Trump started talking about fighting voter fraud in Virginia and how, in his view, Google treated him unfairly.

Over and over again, Trump steered the interview back to familiar ground, repeating old stories and talking about immigrants, voter fraud and transgender athletes. He also used a fake foreign accent to recount his dealings with French President Emmanuel Macron and former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

As president in a second term, Trump said, he would use the threat of tariffs to extract concessions from foreign leaders. He has proposed imposing tariffs of up to 60% on goods coming from China and up to 20% on all other goods imported to the U.S. At times he has threatened to impose even higher tariffs on businesses based in Mexico and on U.S. companies considering moving abroad.

Who is Vem Miller, the suspect arrested in a possible third assassination attempt on Donald Trump?

At a security checkpoint close to Trump’s rally in California, Vem Miller, 49, was apprehended after being discovered in possession of multiple loaded guns, various passports, and a phoney license plate. Trump was the objective of the suspect, according to Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.

California: This year’s US presidential elections are already considered one of the most divisive and violent elections ever, but matters got worse after reports of a possible third assassination attempt on Republican candidate Donald Trump. A man was arrested at a security checkpoint near Trump’s rally in California and found with a large cache of loaded weapons, multiple passports and a fake license plate, US officials said.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said that Wem Miller, 49, was taken into custody in a black SUV, and that the vehicle he was driving included a shotgun, a loaded revolver, ammo, and many forged passports.”The man identified himself as a journalist, but when his claims were doubted, officers searched his unregistered black SUV that had a homemade license plate,” Bianco said. According to Chad Bianco, his suspicion that his department prevented a murder attempt was merely “speculation.”

The suspect was released on bail Saturday as the investigation continues, according to jail records. “I truly believe we prevented another murder attempt,” the sheriff added. Who is Wem Miller?

The 49-year-old guy, named as Wem Miller of Las Vegas, was apprehended without incident when sheriff’s deputies pulled over him in a black SUV at The sheriff’s office estimates that it happened on Saturday at around 5 p.m. (local time). Trump was yet to appear on stage. On Saturday, he was released on $5,000 bail after being charged with charges related to possession of a loaded pistol and a high-capacity magazine. Miller is a registered Republican who ran for the Nevada State Assembly in 2022 but lost in the primary. He has a master’s degree from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). According to The Mirror, his LinkedIn profile shows that he is an “investigative journalist”, co-founder of the far-right media network “America Happens”, and a supporter of gun rights aimed at “stopping voter fraud”. However, Bianco called Miller “crazy”.

Meet Ratan Tata’s Millennial friend Shantanu Naidu, the youngest GM of Tata Trusts, his net worth…

Shantanu Naidu has been Ratan Tata’s dearest friend. He shared an emotional note on Tata’s demise. Shantanu has been Ratan Tata’s manager since 2018, managing a range of tasks and projects under Tata’s direction.

Every Indian’s beloved Ratan Tata sadly passed away on October 9, 2024, at the age of 86. The iconic business tycoon breathed his last, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered forever. Ratan Tata is known not only for transforming the Tata Group into a global powerhouse but also for winning people’s hearts with his kindness and philanthropy. However, did you know that this 86-year-old man had a 28-year-old close friend? Yes, you read that right! A man, who belonged to a traditionalist generation, developed a relationship with a millennial. We are talking about Shantanu Naidu, who is the youngest general manager of Tata Trust and Ratan Tata’s trusted assistant. Who is Shantanu Naidu? Shantanu Naidu is from Pune, Maharashtra.

In 2014, Naidu went to Savitribai Phule Pune University to further his study, graduating with a degree in engineering. His career started with an internship at Tata Elxsi, one of Ratan Tata’s firms, after earning his engineering degree. He completed an MBA program at Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management after graduating, where he demonstrated exceptional performance in a variety of leadership positions.

It hurt Shantanu’s heart to see a dead dog in the middle of the road one day. He decided to help stray dogs since he loves pets. Then he got the idea of ​​designing a dog collar with reflectors. However, raising enough funds for this project became a challenge for Shantanu.

India expels six Canadian diplomats amid rising tensions over allegations of repression on Sikhs

India expels six Canadian diplomats amid rising tensions over allegations of repression on Sikhs

The Ministry of External Affairs in its official statement termed Canada’s actions as “inappropriate” and damaging to relations between the two countries.

India has expelled six Canadian diplomats, further escalating the ongoing diplomatic tussle with Canada. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) late on Monday evening confirmed the expulsion of the diplomats, including Acting High Commissioner Stewart Ross Wheeler and Deputy High Commissioner Patrick Hebert, who have been asked to leave the country by 11:59 pm on October 19, 2024. The decision comes after Canada recently expelled six Indian diplomats, including High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate.

The Ministry of External Affairs in its official statement termed Canada’s actions as “inappropriate” and damaging to relations between the two countries. The Canadian diplomats who have been ordered to leave include senior officials posted in India, including: First Secretary Mary Catherine Joly, Ian Ross David Trites, Adam James Chuipka and Paula Orjuela.

The diplomatic row stems from Canada’s allegations that India was involved in the 2023 killing of pro-Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed there was “credible evidence” of the involvement of Indian agents in Nijjar’s murder, which India has vehemently denied. According to a report in The Washington Post, Canada’s investigation has revealed extensive evidence linking several violent incidents in the country to the Indian government’s efforts to target Sikh activists.

However, India has accused Canada of harboring pro-Khalistan extremists and allowing them to operate freely, threatening India’s security. “India has repeatedly urged Canada to address the growing threat posed by pro-Khalistani elements on its soil,” the foreign ministry said in a statement. The Indian government insists it had no role in the Nijjar incident and has called the allegations politically motivated.

As tensions continue to escalate, The Washington Post has revealed that Canadian officials believe Nijjar’s killing was part of a broader pattern of violence targeting Sikh communities, allegedly perpetrated by the Modi administration. These claims have deepened the mistrust between the two countries, which India has consistently rejected.

Congress to win Haryana, no power sharing in Jammu and Kashmir: Exit polls

Congress to win Haryana, no power sharing in Jammu and Kashmir: Exit polls

The Congress may form the next government in Haryana, ending the BJP’s 10-year rule; and its alliance with the National Conference may lead the race in Jammu and Kashmir, leading to a fractured mandate.

The Congress, which has performed much better in the Lok Sabha elections, may end this year with good results, according to exit polls. The party may form the next government in Haryana, ending the BJP’s 10-year rule; and its alliance with the National Conference may lead the race in Jammu and Kashmir, leading to a fractured mandate.

The Congress will win 55 of the 90 seats in Haryana – well ahead of the halfway mark of 45, according to seven exit polls.

In Jammu and Kashmir, which still has 90 seats after delimitation, the Congress-National Conference alliance is likely to win 43 seats – three short of the majority figure.

The Congress, which performed well in the Lok Sabha elections, may end the year with a good result, according to exit polls. The party may form the next government in Haryana, ending the BJP’s 10-year rule; and its alliance with the National Conference may be ahead in the race in Jammu and Kashmir, where a fractured mandate may emerge.

According to seven exit polls, the Congress will win 55 of the 90 seats in Haryana – well ahead of the halfway mark of 45.

In Jammu and Kashmir, which still has 90 seats after delimitation, the Congress-National Conference alliance is likely to win 43 seats – three short of the majority figure.

However, exit polls can often prove wrong.

The BJP may win 27 seats each in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir. One exit poll, GIST-TIF Research, has given the BJP an outside margin – the maximum – of 37 seats in Haryana.

In Haryana, Abhay Chautala’s INLD (Indian National Lok Dal) may win two seats and BJP’s former ally JJP (Jananayak Janata Party) may win one seat.

According to the exit polls, Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party will not even open its account in Haryana despite being in power in neighbouring Delhi and Punjab.

In Jammu and Kashmir, where assembly elections are being held after a decade, there are interesting possibilities due to the prediction of a hung house.

According to three exit polls, Congress and National Conference will get 43 seats each. BJP’s projected 26 points may put it far away from the majority figure, making it difficult for it to form alliances with smaller parties or independents.

BJP’s former ally Mehbooba Mufti’s People’s Democratic Party, which is likely to win seven seats, is hoping to emerge as the kingmaker. The party has ruled out any possibility of an alliance with the BJP and has spoken only in terms of a “secular alliance”.

The BJP-PDP alliance, formed after another split mandate in 2014, collapsed in 2018, following which President’s rule was imposed in the state.It was divided into two Union Territories in 2019; the BJP has pledged to undo this during its third term in power. The ball could thus be in the court of the National Conference and the Congress, so that they can send a signal to the PDP.

But the hurdle here is the historic rivalry between the erstwhile NC and the PDP, which have always competed for votes in the Kashmir Valley. Before the election, Mehbooba Mufti had made a hefty offer to the NC-Congress alliance, saying she was ready to stay out of the election and leave all the assembly seats for them if they were ready to accept the PDP’s agenda, including Kashmir.
