<p>External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has called for introspection if friendship between the two nations has fallen short or good neighbourliness is missing.</p>



<p>In his address at the 23rd Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of Government in Islamabad, Jaishankar said, &#8220;If we fast-forward from the inception of the Charter to the situation today, these goals and these tasks are even more crucial. It is, therefore, essential that we have an honest conversation.&#8221;</p>



<p><br>&#8220;If trust is lacking or cooperation inadequate if friendship has fallen short and good neighbourliness is missing somewhere, there are surely reasons to introspect and causes to address. Equally, it is only when we reaffirm our commitment most sincerely to the Charter that we can fully realize the benefits of cooperation and integration that it envisages,&#8221; he added.</p>



<p><br>He termed cross-border terrorism, extremism and separatism as the &#8220;three evils&#8221; that hinder trade and people-to-people relations between countries.</p>



<p><br>He took a veiled jibe at Pakistan to state that if activities across borders are characterised by terrorism, extremism and separatism, they are &#8220;hardly likely to encourage trade, energy flows, connectivity and people-to-people exchanges in parallel.&#8221;</p>



<p><br>&#8220;We all realize that the world is moving towards multi-polarity. Globalization and rebalancing are realities that cannot be denied. Cumulatively, they have created many new opportunities in terms of trade, investment, connectivity, energy flows and other forms of collaboration. There is no question that our region would benefit immensely if we take this forward. Not just that, others too would draw their own inspiration and lessons from such efforts,&#8221; he said in his address.</p>



<p><br>&#8220;However, to do that, cooperation must be based on mutual respect and sovereign equality. It should recognize territorial integrity and sovereignty. It must be built on genuine partnerships, not unilateral agendas. It cannot progress if we cherry-pick global practices, especially of trade and transit,&#8221; the External Affairs Minister said.</p>



<p><br>Calling for firm commitment to the SCO Charter, Jaishankar said, &#8220;But most of all, our endeavours will progress only when our commitment to the Charter remains firm. It is axiomatic that development and growth require peace and stability. And as the Charter spelt out, this means being firm and uncompromising in countering the &#8216;three evils&#8217;. If activities across borders are characterized by terrorism, extremism and separatism, they are hardly likely to encourage trade, energy flows, connectivity and people-to-people exchanges in parallel.&#8221;</p>

<p>Paying a heartfelt tribute to the late industrialist Ratan Tata, Harsh Goenka, the chairman of RPG Group, has shared a handwritten note written by Ratan Tata to former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao in 1996. In the letter, Tata expressed his respect for Rao&#8217;s &#8220;excellent achievement&#8221; in initiating essential economic reforms in India. Former Prime Minister Narasimha Rao is often credited with changing the face of India&#8217;s economy and putting it on the path of reform and transformation in 1996. Praising Rao for integrating India into the global community, Tata wrote, &#8220;Every Indian should be grateful to you for your courage and farsightedness in opening up India.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What was written in the letter</h2>



<p>Dear Shri Narasimha Rao,</p>



<p>As I read the unpleasant comments made about you recently, I felt compelled to write to you and express my gratitude for your excellent achievement in initiating essential economic reforms in India. You and your government have established India on the global map and made us a part of the global community. Every Indian should be grateful to you for your courage and farsightedness in opening up India. I believe that your achievements are significant and outstanding – and should never be forgotten.</p>



<p>The purpose of this letter is to let you know that my sentiments and best wishes are with you and that there is at least one person who will never forget the work you have done for India.</p>



<p>&lt;p-With heartfelt personal regards,</p>



<p>Yours,</p>



<p>Ratan</p>



<p>The letter was written on August 27, 1996, on a paper from the Tata Group headquarters, Bombay House.</p>

<p>The Congress is getting restless regarding the assembly by-elections. Based on field surveys, party leaders are staking claims for ticket distribution, but nepotism is prevalent in three out of four seats under the Congress&#8217;s quota. This is being discussed from the region to the party headquarters. Out of the seven vacant seats, four are from the Congress, one from the BJP, one from the RLP, and one from the BSP.</p>



<p>The Congress has Dausa, Jhunjhunu, Deoli-Uniyara, and Ramgarh seats. Except for Deoli-Uniyara, the names of family members of leaders are being considered for the other three seats. In Deoli-Uniyara, the claims of Meena and Gurjar leaders are strong. The Khinvsar seat belongs to the RLP, and the Chaurasi seat belongs to the BSP. There is talk of an alliance between the Congress and these parties, but no leader has officially clarified the situation. Meanwhile, Congress is also preparing for these seats.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alliance is not clear</h2>



<p>The situation regarding the alliance between the Congress and the RLP on the Khinvsar assembly seat and with the BSP on the Chaurasi seat is not clear. In this scenario, everyone is making their preparations. Since no alliance has been formed, Congress leaders are also staking claims. However, no big name has emerged yet. The party is also taking feedback on the Salumber seat, where no big name has emerged yet.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nepotism in These Seats</h2>



<p><strong>Dausa:</strong> The Daosa assembly seat became vacant after Murarilal Meena became an MP. Now, his wife Savita Meena and daughter Niharika Meena&#8217;s names are being considered. Former MLA GR Khantana is also trying his luck.</p>



<p><strong>Ramgarh:</strong> The Ramgarh assembly seat became vacant after the death of MLA Jubair Khan. Now, his younger son Aryan Khan&#8217;s name is being considered.</p>



<p><strong>Jhunjhunu:</strong> The Jhunjhunu assembly seat became vacant after Brijendra Ola became an MP. Now, his wife Rajbala Ola, son Amit Ola, and daughter-in-law Akanksha Ola&#8217;s names are being considered.</p>



<p><strong>Deoli-Uniyara:</strong> The Deoli-Uniyara seat became vacant after Harish Meena became an MP. Here, some names from Meena&#8217;s family, as well as those of other big leaders, are being considered.</p>

<p>Panic broke out among Air India Express flight passengers when they found out that their flight AXB684 had received a bomb threat. The situation became even more chaotic when two fighter jets surrounded the aircraft. A social media post had earlier claimed that Air India&#8217;s seven planes had bombs on board, prompting security agencies to take immediate action and inform countries where these planes were headed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7 Planes Received Bomb Threats</h2>



<p>Air India Express flight AXB684 took off from Madurai around 1:54 pm and was scheduled to land in Singapore at 8:50 pm. However, after receiving the bomb threat, the Singapore Air Force (RSAF) dispatched two F-15SG fighter jets on Tuesday night. Singapore&#8217;s Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen said that the airline had received an email stating that there was a bomb on board the flight bound for Singapore. The minister said that two RSAF F-15SG jets were sent to escort the plane and move it away from populated areas, ensuring a safe landing at Changi Airport.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Singapore&#8217;s Fighter Jets Provided Security</h2>



<p>The two fighter jets provided security to Air India Express flight AXB684 by surrounding it and creating a protective shield. Although the passengers were terrified when they learned about the situation, Singapore&#8217;s Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen said on social media platform X, &#8220;Our ground-based air defense (GBAD) system and explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) were also activated. After landing, the plane was handed over to airport police, and an investigation is ongoing.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Bomb-Like Material Found</h2>



<p>The Singapore Police Force (SPF) told an international media outlet that they received an alert about the bomb threat around 8:25 pm (local time). The SPF said that after conducting a thorough security check, they found no hazardous material.</p>

<p>The Karnataka High Court has quashed a criminal case filed against two individuals for allegedly shouting &#8216;Jai Shri Ram&#8217; slogans inside a mosque. The court stated that it is unclear how the slogan could hurt religious sentiments. The single-judge bench headed by Justice M. Nagaprasanna, while disposing of the appeal petition, said that it is not understandable how the slogan &#8216;Jai Shri Ram&#8217; could hurt the religious sentiments of any community.</p>



<p>The accused were booked under IPC sections 295A (hurting religious sentiments), 447 (criminal trespass), 505 (public mischief), 506 (criminal intimidation), 34 (common intention), and other relevant sections.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case was Registered Under these Sections</h2>



<p>The accused were booked under IPC sections 295A (hurting religious sentiments), 447 (criminal trespass), 505 (public mischief), 506 (criminal intimidation), 34 (common intention), and other relevant sections. The bench also noted that the complainant had stated that Hindus and Muslims lived in harmony in the area and that the slogan &#8216;Jai Shri Ram&#8217; could lead to communal tension.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Hindus and Muslims Lived in Harmony&#8217;</h2>



<p>The bench observed that the complainant had himself stated that Hindus and Muslims lived in harmony in the area. The bench ruled that allowing the proceedings to continue against the accused would be an abuse of the process of law. The bench cited a Supreme Court order, stating that no act would be considered an offense under IPC section 295A.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What was the Case?</h2>



<p>The police had alleged that the accused had entered the mosque on September 24, 2023, around 10:50 pm, and shouted &#8216;Jai Shri Ram&#8217; slogans. They were also accused of threatening others. When the complaint was filed, the accused were shown as unknown persons, and later, they were taken into custody. However, the accused challenged the charges against them and filed an appeal in the Karnataka High Court, which quashed the case against them.</p>

IPL Retention Deadline: BCCI gives big update on retention, lists to be released soon


<p>Before the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auction, all franchises were supposed to release their retention lists by October 31, but now the BCCI has given a big update. According to reports, all franchises will have to release their lists between October 15 and November 7. This means November 7 will be the last day to release the list. It is worth noting that this time, each franchise will have the opportunity to retain a maximum of 6 players, including 4 capped and 2 uncapped players. Among the 6 retentions, it is mandatory to have at least one uncapped player.</p>



<p>IPL franchises collectively use the retention and right-to-match (RTM) options to retain 6 players in their team. Additionally, the auction purse has also been increased to 120 crore rupees, which was 100 crore rupees last year. In retention, a maximum of five capped players and a maximum of two uncapped players can be retained. However, if a franchise retains 6 players, they will exhaust 75 crore rupees before the auction and will only have 45 crore rupees left for the mega auction. It&#8217;s unlikely that any franchise will spend 75 crore rupees before the auction.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Price of retained players</h2>



<p>1st Slot – 18 crore rupees<br>2nd Slot – 14 crore rupees<br>3rd Slot – 11 crore rupees<br>4th Slot – 18 crore rupees<br>5th Slot – 14 crore rupees<br>6th Slot – 4 crore rupees (uncapped)</p>

<p>Taiwan President Lai Ching-te reassured the public of the government&#8217;s dedication to defending Taiwan&#8217;s democracy and national security following China&#8217;s large-scale military exercises around the island.</p>



<p>He shared his remarks on Facebook after holding a high-level national security meeting in response to the Chinese People&#8217;s Liberation Army&#8217;s (PLA) announcement of military drills, named &#8220;Joint Sword-2024B,&#8221; in the Taiwan Strait and surrounding areas, which were described as a &#8220;stern warning&#8221; to advocates of Taiwan independence, according to the Taipei Times.</p>



<p>The announcement of these drills came just four days after Lai delivered his first Double Ten National Day speech, in which he stated that the People&#8217;s Republic of China (PRC) has &#8220;no right to represent Taiwan&#8221; and emphasized that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are &#8220;not subordinate&#8221; to one another.</p>



<p>Lai stated that Beijing launched military exercises to intimidate neighbouring countries and disrupt regional peace and stability, which contradicts the expectations of the international community. He assured people that the government will persist in defending Taiwan&#8217;s free and democratic constitutional system against external pressure.</p>



<p>Additionally, Lai reaffirmed his commitment to preserving peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, stressing that Taiwan&#8217;s consistent goal is to foster positive exchanges between both sides based on mutual respect and dignity.</p>



<p>In his National Day address, Lai stated that Taiwan is open to cooperating with China on shared interests, such as pandemic prevention, to achieve peace and prosperity for both sides of the Strait. He also expressed hope that Beijing would use its influence positively on the global stage and contribute further to regional and global peace, security, and prosperity.</p>



<p>During the military exercises around Taiwan and its outlying islands, China deployed a record 125 aircraft, including its aircraft carrier Liaoning and various ships.</p>
