Currently, NCCF is retailing onions at a subsidized rate of Rs 25 per kilogram in Delhi, with plans to extend this subsidy to other states beyond the Delhi-NCR region, aiming to cover all states from Jammu and Kashmir to Kerala, as per a recent statement by NCCF.

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.

Nitish Kumar: INDIA alliance must act swiftly to finalise future strategies

After poor show of the INDIA alliance in the recently concluded assembly elections, Bihar chief minister who is a senior member of the opposition alliance has brushed aside the defeat.&nbsp;

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday sought to downplay BJP's victory in three states in the Hindi heartland, stating that there is "no need to discuss much" on such wins of the saffron party, and said the opposition INDIA alliance must act swiftly to finalise its future strategies.
Kumar said he is now focusing on the next meeting of the INDIA coalition, which is scheduled in the third week of December.
"The Congress has performed well in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chattisgarh. These things happen in electoral politics. Earlier, there were Congress governments in these states...now BJP has won. There is no need to discuss much on such issues. The Congress has won Telangana this time," the JD(U) leader told reporters here while responding to queries about the BJP's win in three states.
The meeting of the INDIA coalition, which was scheduled to be held on December 6, has been deferred as some senior leaders were unable to attend the same due to their preoccupations, Kumar said.
"I want the INDIA coalition to act swiftly to finalise its future strategies, including the seat-sharing issue, in the next meeting, which is scheduled to be held in the third week of December," he said.
RJD president Lalu Prasad had on Tuesday claimed that top leaders of the INDIA bloc would meet on December 17 in Delhi to chalk out the strategy for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
"I am also not in a position to attend today's meeting as I am not well. But, I will attend the next meeting of the INDIA coalition", said Kumar, who played an instrumental role in bringing together different parties opposed to the BJP.
He said the opposition leaders will discuss issues related to seat sharing and also finalise several other strategies.
"My only wish is to unite the maximum number of parties before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Everything should be finalised at the earliest. I have no desire for myself," Kumar said.
The 26-party opposition alliance, which has been formed to jointly take on the ruling BJP at the Centre in next year's elections, have already held meetings in Patna, Bengaluru and Mumbai.
Asked about Union Home Minister Amit Shah's proposed visit to Bihar, Kumar said, "Yes, he is coming to chair the Eastern Zonal Council (EZC) meeting in Patna on December 10. We all will be there." The meeting is expected to be joined by the CMs of other member states Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal.
He claimed that the grand alliance government in Bihar is working for the overall development of the state.
"This is the reason that we raised the quota for deprived castes in state government jobs and educational institutions, based on our caste survey report. We want that the Centre should also conduct caste-based census in the country and accord special status to Bihar for its growth," Kumar added.&nbsp;

'Jammu and Kashmir suffered most due to blunders by Nehru', Amit Shah in Lok Sabha

Speaking about the bills, Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury pointed out that former and present ministers keep bringing former PM Jawaharlal Nehru into discussions on J&amp;K, casting aspersions on him.&nbsp;

Responding to the debate on J&amp;K reorganisation and reservation amendment bills, in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the state has suffered immensely due to 'two blunders' committed by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru-first, by announcing ceasefire and then by taking Kashmir issue to the United Nations.&nbsp;
"Had Jawaharlal Nehru taken the right steps, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir would have been part of India now; it was a historic blunder," Shah said. &nbsp;
Opposition leaders staged a walkout from the Lower House following Shah's comment on the former Prime Minister.

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.
