Will wait for result of India's probe: US on 'plot to kill' Khalistani

The US has said that it will wait to see the results of India's probe into the alleged plot to kill a Sikh separatist on American soil.

The United States has said it will wait to see the results of the investigation announced by India concerning allegations of the involvement of an Indian official in a plot to assassinate a separatist Sikh leader in the US.
"We have noted at the most senior levels of this government &ndash; the secretary of state has raised this directly with his foreign counterpart that we take this issue very seriously. They told us they would conduct an investigation," State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters at his daily news conference on Tuesday.
"They have publicly announced an investigation. Now, we will wait to see the results of the investigation...," Miller said in response to a question.
American prosecutors have linked an Indian official to a man charged with conspiring to assassinate Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on US soil.
India has described it as a "matter of concern" and asserted that follow-up action will be taken based on findings of a panel investigating the allegations.
The US, Miller said, has also urged India to cooperate with Canada's investigation of allegations of Indian involvement in the killing of a Canadian national.

Karni Sena calls for Rajasthan bandh after outfit's chief shot dead

Following the murder of Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, the outfit has called for Rajasthan bandh on December 6.

The Karni Sena has called for a state-wide bandh in Rajasthan after the outfit's chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi was shot dead in his home in Jaipur on December 5.
The shootout incident was caught on the CCTV camera and the footage surfaced on social media.
A political slugfest broke out following the murder. While BJP claimed it was a "revenge plan" of the Congress after losing the state, Congress called it the 'return of jungle raj' as soon as the BJP came to power.
All prominent political leaders of the state including Congress's Ashok Gehlot, Sachin Pilot, BJP's Vasundhara Raje, Rajyavardhan Rathore, have condemned the killing.

'I can't believe it': Pakistani woman arrives in India to marry Kolkata man | Watch

A Pakistani woman, Javeria Khanum, has arrived in India to marry a Kolkata man, Sameer Khan. Their wedding is set to be held in January. They have been in a relationship for five years.

A Pakistani woman on Tuesday crossed over to India from the Wagah-Attari International Border to marry a Kolkata resident with whom her marriage has been fixed in January next year.
Karachi resident Javeria Khanum crossed over into the Indian side from Attari in Amritsar district where she was welcomed by her fiance Sameer Khan and some members of his family to the beats of 'dhol'.
Khanum has been granted a 45-day visa after two previous visa rejections and the Covid pandemic stalled their plans for around five years.
The couple, in a brief interaction with reporters at Attari, said the marriage will be solemnised in January next year.
"I have been granted a 45-day visa. I am very happy to be here. Just on arrival, I am already getting so much love here. In the first week of January the marriage will be solemnised," she said.
She had tried to get a visa on two occasions, but got lucky the third time. "It is a happy ending and a happy beginning," she said, expressing her happiness at being able to travel to India to get married.
&ldquo;Everyone back home was very happy. I can&rsquo;t believe I have got the visa after five years,&rdquo; she added.
Sharing how the couple got in touch, Khan said he expressed interest in marrying Khanum after seeing her photo on his mother&rsquo;s phone.
&ldquo;This started in May 2018. I had come home from Germany where I was studying. I saw her photo on my mother's phone and expressed my interest. I told my mother that I want to get married to Javeria,&rdquo; he said.
Earlier, the visa was rejected twice and in between there was the Covid pandemic, Khan said, adding that he was thankful to the Indian Government for the visa.
"My mother is very happy now that we will be getting married in January next year," he said.
Khan said his friends from his time in Germany &ndash; from Africa, Spain, the United States and other countries &ndash; are likely to attend his wedding.
The couple then left to catch a flight from Amritsar to Kolkata.

DMK MP calls Hindi heartland 'gaumutra states', apologises after facing flak

DMK MP DNV Senthil Kumar apologised for calling HIndi heartland states "gaumutra states" after he received widespread criticism. Even his party chief MK Stalin rebuked him for the comment.

DMK President and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has pulled up party MP DNV Senthil Kumar for his remarks describing Hindi heartland as "gaumutra states", the party said on Tuesday. DMK always insisted on the need for a dignified approach while making public remarks, the party added.
The Dharmapuri MP's remarks had drawn instant condemnation from the BJP as well as its ally Congress, whose leaders asked him to tender an apology.
Senior DMK leader and Organising Secretary RS Bharathi said the MP has tendered a public apology.
Referring to the Parliament speech of Kumar relating to the outcome of the five-state elections, Bharathi said the MP had used "a word that gave a wrong meaning." "Upon knowing this, party president and chief minister Stalin strongly rebuked Senthil Kumar," he said in a statement.
He added the MP has issued a statement seeking public apology, stating that he had not made the said remarks with any particular intention.
Bharathi stressed on the need for all to maintain dignity while making public opinions.
The DMK founder late CN Annaudurai's principles of "Duty-Dignity-Discipline '' should be followed by all, he said and urged that partymen should refrain from making personal opinions on national issues.
While participating in a discussion on J&amp;K Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill in the House, Kumar had said the BJP can win elections only in the Hindi heartland states and not in south India.
While his description of the Hindi heartland as "gaumutra" states was expunged by the Lok Sabha Speaker later, the remarks sparked a controversy with several members across party lines condemning the DMK leader and the video of his speech going viral on social media.
Facing flak, he later apologised.
"Commenting on the results of the five recent state assembly elections, I have used a word in an inappropriate way. Not using that term with any intent, I apologize for sending the wrong meaning across," he said in a post on X.

Cyclone Michaung weakens, leaves trail of destruction in Andhra Pradesh

According to the Chief Minister's Office, nearly 40 lakh people from 194 villages and two towns were affected by Michaung's impact, including the inundation of 25 villages.

The severe cyclonic storm Michaung, which crossed the Andhra Pradesh coast close to Bapatla on Tuesday and subsequently weakened into a cyclonic storm, left a trail of destruction in its wake.
Michaung is expected to subside into a deep depression over the next six hours, said an official.
The storm damaged 770-kilometre roads, uprooted 35 trees and killed three livestock, among others.
According to data shared by the Chief Minister's Office (CMO), nearly 40 lakh people from 194 villages and two towns were affected by Michaung's impact, including the inundation of 25 villages.
Though there was no loss of human life on Tuesday, Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority Director BR Ambedkar told PTI that a four-year-old boy died after a hut wall collapsed on him in Tirupati district on Monday.
While another person died in Bapatla district, Superintendent of Police Vakul Jindal told PTI that the cause of death was not related to the cyclone.
"The lone deceased person was found in a drunken state on a road by his motorcycle, which was not submerged under water, in the Inkollu village," Jindal said.
Across the state, 204 relief camps are accommodating 15,173 evacuees. As part of relief efforts, 18,073 food packets and more than 1 lakh water packets were distributed. Eighty health camps were also organised.
For the affected districts, the state government has sanctioned Rs 23 crore for relief efforts.
The damaged structures include 78 huts and a cattle shed while 232 houses were marooned. Two kuccha houses were fully damaged.
Under the roads and buildings department, 770 kilometres of surface roads suffered damage in the districts of Konaseema (234 kilometres), Prakasam (55 kilometres), Nellore (433 kilometres) and Tirupati (48 kilometres).
Nellore also witnessed the highest number of trees being uprooted with 29 out of the total 35.
Under the municipal administration department, 376 streetlights and 7.5 kilometres of roads were damaged.
Fourteen minor irrigation sources were also damaged in Tirupati.
The Andhra Pradesh Southern Power Distribution Company Ltd suffered damage to 13 33-KV feeders, 312 11-KV feeders, 29 33/11-KV sub-feeders, nine 33-KV poles, 140 11-KV poles and 244-LT poles.
Under the influence of the severe cyclonic storm, 10 places -- seven in Tirupati and three in Nellore -- experienced more than 200 mm rainfall on Tuesday.
Manubolu in Nellore district recorded 366.5 mm rainfall.
Six State Disaster Response Force and an equal number of National Disaster Response Force teams were pressed into service on Tuesday.
With the rainwater receding, the state government has decided to enumerate agriculture and horticulture damage, the CMO said.
The Meteorological Department, meanwhile, noted that Michaung weakened into a cyclonic storm and lay centred over south coastal Andhra Pradesh near 16 degrees north (latitude) and 80.3 degrees east (longitude).
It is expected to move nearly northwards in the next six hours and further weaken into a deep depression, a Met official said in a press release.
Gales gusting up to speeds of 110 kilometres per hour are expected to prevail over west-central Bay of Bengal around the weather system for the next six hours and then gradually subside.
Along north Andhra Pradesh coast, squally winds reaching speeds of 60 kilometres per hour and gusting up to 65 kilometres per hour are likely to prevail over the next 12 hours and gradually decrease thereafter.
For Wednesday, the Met has forecast heavy rainfall -- 64.5 mm to 115.5 mm -- for Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram, Alluri Sitarama Raju, Anakapalli, Kakinada, Konaseema and Eluru districts.

Ashok Gehlot's Special Officer on Duty Lokesh Sharma on December 5 alleged that the outgoing CM Gehlot had put his deputy Sachin Pilot on tracker during his rebellion in 2020

Gehlot-Pilot rebellion: did the tussle cost Congress the 2023 assembly election?

Ashok Gehlot's Special Officer on Duty Lokesh Sharma on December 5 alleged that the outgoing CM Gehlot had put his deputy Sachin Pilot on tracker during his rebellion in 2020

Ashok Gehlot's OSD Lokesh Sharma on Tuesday alleged that the then deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot's movements and phone were tracked and monitored by the Gehlot government in the run-up to and during the rebellion Pilot had staged in 2020.
There was no immediate reaction from Congress leaders Gehlot and Pilot or their aides on the allegations.
Sharma, who was denied a ticket to contest the Rajasthan assembly polls and has been criticising Gehlot for the party's defeat in the elections, also said if the incidents of September last year, when a legislature party meeting was not allowed to take place by Gehlot loyalists, had not happened and the Congress observers had carried out the agenda for which they had come, the picture in Rajasthan would have been different.
The Congress leadership wanted to effect a leadership change and bring in Pilot as the chief minister.
He said the differences between Gehlot and Pilot "harmed" the party's prospects.
"When the political crisis of 2020 had come and Pilot ji had left with his 18 MLAs, then in such a situation, the government does put its machinery in to use and everyone is monitored, where do these people go, who do they meet and who do they speak with. So that is done and in that manner their monitoring was also done," Sharma alleged.
He claimed that the monitoring was happening from before the rebellion as there was some idea that such a thing could happen.
Asked about the details of the monitoring, Sharma told PTI, "I said monitoring was being done continuously which includes all these things -- movement, who are they speaking with, those things were being tracked and monitored." Sharma claimed that elections could have been fought better and the main reason for defeat was that ticket distribution was not done properly.
"There was no-anti incumbency against the government but people did not want to see many of the MLAs return as their representatives. Such reports were communicated to the chief minister. These were not just my reports but the AICC survey, and other reports were that sitting MLAs' tickets should be cut but it was not done," Sharma claimed.
Asked why action had not been taken on the reports, he said, "You can say it was his (Gehlot's) stubbornness. He probably felt it was his moral duty towards those who had helped him save his government." Sharma denied that he was making such allegations as he was denied a ticket.
He said it is up to the party to decide on his ticket which he was demanding as a party worker.
"I am saying so now as I want that corrective measures are taken as Lok Sabha polls are round the corner and it is important to set things right," he said.
On the day the Congress lost in Rajasthan, Sharma had blamed Gehlot for the defeat in the assembly polls and said that his experience, magic and schemes could not bring the Congress back to power in the state.
On Monday, replying to a question on an earlier statement of Sharma, Pilot had said, "I have seen the statement. It is strange. Because he was OSD to the chief minister, that's why it is a matter of concern. I believe the party will look into why he said so. And how much truth it holds."

Congress Chief picks A Ravanth Reddy as the CM in Telangana

Congress central leadership on December 05 unanimously decided to make A Revanth Reddy the Chief Minister in Telangana. On Dec 7 the Swearing-in ceremony will be held in Hyderabad.

Telangana Congress chief A Revanth Reddy will be the new chief minister of the state.
Announcing the decision at the party headquarters here on Tuesday, AICC general secretary K C Venugopal said the swearing-in will take place on December 7 in Hyderabad.
"After considering the report of observers and after discussion with senior leaders, the Congress president has decided to go with Revanth Reddy as the leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) in Telangana," he said.
Revanth Reddy was the frontrunner for the top post in the state after the party staged a stupendous victory in assembly elections by winning 64 seats in Telangana, upstaging the BRS.
Venugopal said the Congress Legislature Party in Telangana had unanimously decided to authorise the Congress president to take a decision to appoint the CLP leader in its meeting earlier.
He said the party had appointed four observers including Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, Deepa Dasmunshi, Ajoy Kumar and K J George, besides AICC general secretary in-charge Manikrao Thakre.
Shivakumar and Thakre were present as Venugopal announced the party high command's decision on Telangana.
He did not answer queries on how many ministers would be sworn in and whether there would be any deputy chief ministers.&nbsp;
