The Chief Scientific Advisors' Roundtable (CSAR) of G-20 countries will be held in Uttarakhand's Ramnagar from March 28-30 with its focus on harnessing the benefits of traditional knowledge in healthcare.

Ahead of a crucial three-day G20 meeting in Uttarakhand's Ramnagar, a banned pro-Khalistan group made threat calls to hundreds of people including journalists on March 26, 2023.&nbsp;
Officials stated that those who received the calls heard a pre-recorded voice messages by Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, leader of 'Sikh for Justice'. In the messages, Pannu said the group will raise Khalistani flags at airports, railway stations and other areas during the meeting days.&nbsp; "Ramnagar is not a part of India and it will be made a part of Khalistan after Punjab is freed," Pannu said in the message, according to Uttarakhand Special Task Force's Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Senthil Abudai Krishnaraj S.
The Chief Scientific Advisors' Roundtable (CSAR) of G-20 countries will be held in Uttarakhand's Ramnagar from March 28-30 with its focus on harnessing the benefits of traditional knowledge in healthcare.
Krishnaraj S said all the numbers from which such recorded calls were received are being traced.
The DIG said the Special Task Force is probing the matter. It seems that Pannu is trying to gain &ldquo;publicity&rdquo; on the Khalistan issue through the G-20 meeting. He also assured that the Uttarakhand police is fully prepared adding that they will not allow the purpose of these separatists to be fulfilled.&nbsp;

In a rare sign of solidarity, leaders of at least 18 opposition parties met at the residence of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge in the national capital on Monday and alleged that the BJP-led government is destroying democracy.
Representatives of the DMK, NCP, JD(U), BRS, CPI(M), AAP, RJD including the Trinamool Congress among others attended the meet but the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) skipped the meeting in protest of Gandhi's remarks against Veer Savarkar.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the leaders resolved to fight against the BJP unitedly.
"Tonight floor leaders of 18 Opposition parties met at the residence of @kharge ji and with one voice decided to continue with their campaign against the Modi regime that is destroying democracy and that has subverted all institutions," Ramesh wrote on Twitter.

'Arrest those demanding Hindu Rashtra too': Akal Takht slams Punjab govt over Amritpal crackdown

Akal Takht on Monday gave a 24-hour ultimatum to the state government to release all Sikh youths who were held during the police crackdown against Amritpal Singh 

The Jathedar also condemned the state government for invoking the National Security Act against a few persons during the police crackdown.

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpeet Singh on Monday gave a 24-hour ultimatum to the state government to release all Sikh youths who were held during the police crackdown against radical preacher Amritpal Singh and his aides.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said he has asked the director general of police to release those who were taken into preventive custody and their involvement to any anti-national activity was not found.
On the sidelines of an event in Jalandhar, Mann, however, said strict action will be taken against whosoever tries to disturb peace in the state.
Following a police crackdown against Amritpal and his associates, Punjab Police Sunday said it has released 197 persons out of total 353 taken into preventive custody on apprehension of breach of peace and disturbance of law and order. &nbsp;The Jathedar also condemned the state government for invoking the National Security Act against a few persons during the police crackdown.
The Jathedar of Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, had convened a special gathering of Sikh organizations, including intellectuals, Sikh lawyers, journalists, religious and social leaders here to discuss the current situation in Punjab following the March 18 action against elements of 'Waris Punjab De' headed by Amritpal Singh.
Addressing the gathering, the Jathedar gave a 24-hour ultimatum to the Punjab government for releasing all Sikh youths in Punjab, saying otherwise the anger of Sikh community would remain simmering.

He also attacked certain TV channels, accusing them of promoting hate propaganda against Sikhs by describing the youths who have been held as separatists.
The Jathedar asked the state government to revoke the detention of some persons under the NSA and demanded that those who have been sent to Dibrugarh jail in Assam should be brought back to Punjab so that law can take its own course.
He said it would be wrong to say that there was a threat to national security due to the Sikhs who have been detained.
Without naming anyone, Singh said the NSA should also then be invoked against those who speak about 'Hindu Rashtra.' The Jathedar said it would extend all help to the "innocent Sikhs" who have been held in this matter.
The Jatehdar claimed that around 400 Sikh youths had been "arrested" and 198 had been released.
But the Sikh community wanted release of all arrested Sikhs, he said.
He also asked the police to release the impounded vehicles of the Sikhs.
The Punjab Police had last week launched a crackdown against elements of 'Waris Punjab De,' headed by Amritpal.
The elusive preacher himself, however, gave the police a slip and escaped their dragnet when his cavalcade was intercepted in Jalandhar district.

BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani alleged that Gandhi was trying to "rip" apart the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

'Political arrogance': Smriti Irani on Rahul Gandhi's refusal to apologise

Union Minister Smriti Irani on Tuesday launched a fresh attack on Rahul Gandhi, saying his refusal to apologise is yet another "manifestation" of the Gandhi family's political arrogance.

BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani alleged that Gandhi was trying to "rip" apart the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The BJP on Tuesday launched a fresh attack on Rahul Gandhi, saying the Congress leader's refusal to apologise to the OBC community for his "indecent" comments is yet another "manifestation" of the Gandhi family's political arrogance.
BJP leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani alleged that Gandhi was trying to "rip" apart the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But the Congress leader will not succeed as the people of the country are with the prime minister, she asserted at a press conference.
"In an interview to a magazine in 2019, Gandhi in his own words had claimed that Modi's greatest strength is his image and that he would will rip his image apart," Irani said.
"The political psychosis of Rahul Gandhi is at full display. He abused and accused Modi in Parliament but could not verify his own statement by authenticating it with his own signature," she said.
Such is the political frustration of Gandhi that a promise he made could not be fructified and hence, he continues with his tirade against Modi, the BJP leader said.
"So Rahul Gandhi your promise made to a magazine editor that you will rip Modi's image apart is a promise that shall remain unfulfilled because Narendra Modi's greatest strength is the people of India," Irani said.
Referring to his conviction and sentencing in a criminal defamation case, she said that "Rahul Gandhi could not develop the humility to beg for the forgiveness of the OBC community in our country is just another manifestation of a political arrogance called the Gandhi family".
Following his conviction and two-year sentencing in the case by a Surat court over his "Modi surname" remark on March 23, Gandhi was disqualified as a member of Lok Sabha.&nbsp;

Punjab CM hits out at Akal Takht Jathedar for 'provoking' people | Amritpal crackdown

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann Tuesday hit out at Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh for "provoking" people through an ultimatum to the AAP government

Mann accused the Jathedar of favouring the Badals and also told him that the Badals had "used" several Jathedars for their "vested interests".

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann Tuesday hit out at Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh for "provoking" people through an ultimatum to the AAP government to release all Sikh youths arrested in a police action against radical preacher Amritpal Singh and his aides.
Mann accused the Jathedar of favouring the Badals and also told him that the Badals had "used" several Jathedars for their "vested interests".
The CM told the Jathedar of Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, that it would have been better had he issued the ultimatum in the sacrilege and missing 'saroops' of Guru Granth Sahib.
Mann's reaction came a day after the Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpeet Singh had given a 24-hour ultimatum to the AAP government to release all Sikh youths who were held during the police crackdown against radical preacher Amritpal Singh and his aides.
The Jathedar also condemned the state government for invoking the National Security Act against a few people during the police crackdown.
The Jathedar of Akal Takht in Amritsar had convened a special gathering of Sikh organizations, including intellectuals, Sikh lawyers, journalists, religious and social leaders to discuss the current situation in Punjab following the March 18 action against elements of 'Waris Punjab De' headed by Amritpal Singh.
Lambasting the Jathedar over his ultimatum, Mann in a tweet in Punjabi said, "Jathedar Sri Akal Takht Sahib ji. Everyone knows you and SGPC have been favouring the Badals.
Look at the history, many Jathedars were used by the Badals for their own interests. It would have been better had you given the ultimatum for the sacrilege and missing 'saroops' of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji instead of provoking happily living people." The incidents related to the theft of a 'bir' (copy) of the Guru Granth Sahib, putting up handwritten sacrilegious posters, and torn pages of the holy book being found scattered at Bargari had taken place in Faridkot in 2015.
In another case, 328 'saroops' (copies) of Guru Granth Sahib had gone missing from the records of the publication house of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.&nbsp;

Congress mulls no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha speaker: reports

The Congress is in talks with other opposition parties to consider moving a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla over his alleged bias, according to media reports. 

The motion is likely to be brought on Monday in the Lok Sabha but some parties are opposed to the move

The Congress is in talks with other opposition parties to consider moving a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla over his alleged bias, sources said on Tuesday.
They said the proposal to bring a motion was mooted at the meeting of party MPs this morning and Congress leaders are now talking to other party leaders over it.
The motion is likely to be brought on Monday in the Lok Sabha but some parties are opposed to the move, saying it may hurt the momentum of opposition unity.
The no-confidence motion will highlight the pace at which Rahul Gandhi was disqualified as MP.
The sources said the no-confidence motion can only be brought when the house is in order.
Sources in the opposition camp said such a motion requires signatures and support of 50 MPs but they apprehended that the motion may not be allowed to be moved on the ground that the house is not in order.
The Lok Sabha has been witnessing uproarious scenes since the start of the second leg of the budget session on March 13 with opposition benches demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee probe into the Adani issue and the BJP seeking Rahul Gandhi's apology over his remarks made abroad which they allege was an insult to India and its institutions on foreign soil.
Sources said a no-confidence motion was brought in August 1963 against the Nehru government by Acharya Kripalani.
No-confidence motions have been brought against the Narasimha Rao government and the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government as well, they said.&nbsp;

The Punjab and Haryana High Court was hearing a petition filed which claimed that Amritpal Singh was in the "illegal custody" of police.

Punjab govt tells HC it is 'close to catching' Amritpal Singh

The Punjab government told the high court on Tuesday that they were coordinating with several agencies and close to catching pro-Khalistan preacher Amritpal Singh. 

The Punjab and Haryana High Court was hearing a petition filed which claimed that Amritpal Singh was in the "illegal custody" of police.

The Punjab government told the high court on Tuesday that they were coordinating with several agencies and close to catching pro-Khalistan preacher Amritpal Singh.
The radical preacher, declared a fugitive by the government, has been on the run since a police crackdown on him and his outfit &mdash; Waris Punjab De &mdash; began on March 18. Images and videos that emerged on social media have showed him changing his vehicles and appearance multiple times in a bid to dodge police.
However, Punjab police have detained or arrested a number of his associates during the crackdown.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has said he has asked the director general of police to release from preventive custody those who were not found to be involved in any anti-national activity. He, however, has added that strict action will be taken against anyone who tries to disturb peace in the state.
On Tuesday, the Punjab and Haryana High Court was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by advocate Imaan Singh Khara, which claimed that Amritpal Singh was in the "illegal custody" of police.
Punjab Advocate General Vinod Ghai told the court that Amritpal Singh has not been arrested yet and they were coordinating with agencies to nab the radical preacher.
Later, the petitioner told reporters that the AG said in the court that they were close to catching Amritpal Singh.
Justice N S Shekhawat asked the petitioner to file an affidavit to produce evidence that Amritpal Singh was in police custody and pointed out that the state's stand was that the preacher had not been arrested.
The court told the petitioner it would appoint a warrant officer if evidence was placed before it to show that Amritpal Singh was in illegal detention.
The court fixed March 29 as the next date of hearing in the case.
On March 21, the court rapped the Punjab government over the intelligence failure that allowed Amritpal Singh to escape the police crackdown.
Khara is the legal advisor of Amritpal Singh and his outfit.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Upping the ante over Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from Lok Sabha, the Congress will hold press conferences in 35 cities over the next two days on 'Democracy Dis'Qualified' while also highlighting other issues such as the Adani matter and the alleged "clean chit" to fugitives.
Gandhi was on Thursday sentenced to two years in jail by a Surat court in a 2019 criminal defamation case over his "why all thieves have Modi surname" remark. He was subsequently disqualified from Lok Sabha.
