Gurpatwant Pannun threatens to attack Parliament, Delhi Police on alert

Delhi Police are on high alert after Khalistani extremist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun threatened to attack the Indian Parliament on the anniversary of 2001 terrorist attack.

The Delhi Police are on alert after the US-based Khalistani supporter Gurpatwant Singh Pannun released a video message threatening to "shake the very foundation of Parliament" on December 13 -- the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attack on Parliament.
A senior police officer said security has already been stepped up in and around Parliament. "No one will be allowed to disturb law and order," he said.
"When Parliament is on, we remain alert. We are taking all precautionary measures to prevent any untoward incident," the officer said adding that security has also been beefed up in entire Delhi. &nbsp;In the video, which also had a photo of the 2001 Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, the chief of the proscribed organisation Sikhs for Justice claimed that the Narendra Modi government tried to kill him and threatened to respond on December 13.
Pannu claimed that his response would shake "the very foundation of the Indian Parliament".&nbsp;

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.

Mizoram's new CM Lalduhome has said that he is committed to solving the issue of the migrant in the state with the central government. 

Refugee crisis Mizoram's next CM's top priority; soon to meet Amit Shah

Mizoram's next CM Lalduhome has said that he is committed to solving the issue of the refugees in the state and will meet Amit Shah to discuss the same.

Mizoram's next CM Lalduhome has said that he is committed to solving the issue of the refugees in the state and will meet Amit Shah to discuss the same.

Lalduhoma, chief minister-designate of Mizoram, on Wednesday said he will soon meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to discuss the issue of refugees from Myanmar and Bangladesh, and internally displaced people from Manipur.
Around 44,000 people from the two neighbouring countries and state have taken shelter in Mizoram due to several problems including ethnic strife.
Lalduhoma, the Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) leader, called on Governor Dr Hari Babu Kambhampati at Raj Bhavan and staked claim to form the new government following his party's victory in the assembly polls. His government is likely to take oath on Friday.
"I have telephonic conversations with the Home Minister and External Affairs Minister on Tuesday. I will soon meet them in Delhi to discuss how the Centre and the state government can work together to look after the refugees and displaced people," Lalduhoma told reporters after meeting the governor.
The 73-year ZPM leader said his government will continue to provide shelter to the refugees from Myanmar and Bangladesh and displaced people from Manipur on humanitarian grounds.
He said that his government will also see if it can provide better relief to them compared to that by the outgoing MNF government.
The ZPM dethroned Zoramthanga-led Mizo National Front (MNF) on Monday, bagging 27 of the total 40 assembly seats.
Lalduhoma, an ex-IPS officer who had served as the security in charge of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, said that he would discuss the country's policy towards refugees from Myanmar with Jaishankar, who is his civil service batchmate.
He expressed hope that the Centre will extend help to the state government to look after the Myanmar refugees as it is a humanitarian issue.
More than 31,300 Myanmar nationals and over 1,100 Bangladeshi nationals are currently in Mizoram, according to the state home department.
These Myanmar nationals belonging to the Chin community, who share ethnic ties with Mizos, have taken shelter since February 2021 following a military coup in the neighbouring country. The Bawm or Mizo community from Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracts, who fled gunfights between the Bangladesh army and an ethnic insurgent group, fled to the northeastern state from November last year.
Besides, nearly 12,000 internally displaced people from Manipur have taken refuge in different parts of Mizoram since May this year due to ethnic clashes.
The outgoing MNF government had in May urged the Centre to provide financial assistance to the tune of Rs 10 crore for the internally displaced people from Manipur. In September, the Centre told the state government that it would assist it in kind.
However, no assistance has come till now, according to a home department official.
The official said that the state government disbursed Rs 5 crore from its exchequer and received over Rs 80 lakh from donations by government employees for assisting the internally displaced people.
