PM Modi 'Aloof' From People's Concerns, Says Priyanka Gandhi Countering 'Shehzada' Jibe
PM Modi 'Aloof' From People's Concerns, Says Priyanka Gandhi Countering 'Shehzada' Jibe Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a shahanshaah (king of king) who lives in a palace but is cut off from the public, responding to the PMs shehzada jibe for her brother Rahul Gandhi. The Congress general secretary was addressing a public rally at Lakhani in Gujarats Banaskantha Lok Sabha constituency to canvass for her party candidate Geniben Thakor. He calls my brother shehzada. I would like to tell him that this shehzada walked for 4,000 kilometres from Kanyakumari to Kashmir to listen to your (people's) problems, met my brothers and sisters, farmers and labourers and asked how we can resolve their problems, she said. Addressing a rally in Gujarat on Thursday, PM Modi had targeted Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, saying Pakistan was eager to make the shehzada of the grand old party Indias next PM as the countrys enemies want a weak government at the helm. On the other hand is your shahanshah, Narendra Modiji. He lives in a palace. Have you ever seen him on TV? Clean clothes with not a single speck of dust, not a single stray hair strand. How will he ever understand your hard work, your farming? How will he understand your problems, that you are overburdened with inflation? she said. The Congress leader also said that the BJP wants to change the Constitution, and reduce and weaken the rights given to the people through the statute book. If you understand politics today, the biggest thing that Modi has done in the last 10 years is to weaken the rights of the public, she said. In Banaskantha, which will go to polls in the third phase on May 7, the BJP has nominated Rekha Chaudhary, an engineering college professor and first-timer, against Congress Thakor.
I can say things other people are afraid to: Margaret Atwood on censorship, literary feuds and Trump
At 84, The Handmaids Tale author is as outspoken as ever. She talks about aging, culture wars - and why the orange guy cant be allowed back into the White House Im the great sage on top of the mountain, Margaret Atwood says with a smile, on a video call from her home in Toronto. If youve lived to a certain age people think you know something because they havent gotthere yet. At 84, most writers could be forgiven for taking it easy, but especially Atwood, after a tumultuous few years thathave seen The Handmaids Tale become a hit TV series; the publication of its long-awaited sequel The Testaments , joint winner of the Booker prize in 2019; and the death of her partner of nearly 50 years, novelist Graeme Gibson. He died of a stroke two days after the UK launch of the novel, and Atwood, with typical grit, carried on with the tour. Continue reading...

Hamas 'only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire': Blinken
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that Hamas is the main obstacle to a ceasefire in Gaza, as the militants prepared to send a delegation to Cairo for talks. Blinken emphasized that the only thing preventing a ceasefire is Hamas, which the US considers a terrorist group. He highlighted the difficulty of negotiating with Hamas, as its leaders are not directly engaged with the US or Israel. Blinken's comments came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue the assault on Rafah, a southern Gaza city, to eliminate Hamas.

People want change in government at Centre: Kharge
AHMEDABAD: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge claimed on Friday that people want a change of government at the Centre. Wherever I travelled I noticed that people are interested in bringing about a change in government, Kharge told reporters here during a campaign tour. Present government has failed in all aspects, it failed to control inflation and generate employment. That is the reason that the BJP is not talking about what it has delivered in the last 10 years, but talks more about other issues, the Congress chief said. It (government) has failed to uplift people from poverty, it has no policy to address poverty. In the last 10 years, it has not launched a single programme that helps the youth in getting employment, he claimed. Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, Modi has never worked to uplift poor people. Gandhiji always thought of the poor and worked for them. Reacting to Modis allegation about the Congress connection with Pakistan, Kharge said, We are not the one who will visit Pakistan without an invitation, nor bring any gift from Pakistan. Those who can sacrifice their lives for the nation are associated with the party. He alleged that during the Modi rule, the government has changed labour laws many times because of which labourers are facing harassment. If Congress comes to power, it will bring changes in all these laws, he said.
People of Bagalkot want change, I am here for development: Congress candidate Samyukta Patil
Was contesting the Lok Sabha polls from Bagalkot a planned idea, or the situation made you to contest? It was not actually planned, but things turned out and we took the decision to contest. We got enormous support from Congress leaders, which made me contest. You are contesting Lok Sabha polls for the first time, and that too against BJPs PC Gaddigoudar, a 4-time MP. Do you have any fear... I dont have any fear or hesitation. When I decided to contest, I had my vision and agenda very clear. I wanted to work for the people of Bagalkot. Veena Kashappanavar initially revolted after being denied a ticket. Is she now working for Congress? She is working for Congress.She accompanied me while filing my nomination papers. You were projected as an outsider in the beginning as you hail from Vijayapura... To be honest, even BJP workers are not saying that now. This shows how people have accepted me. I am getting enormous support from people. They are treating me like their daughter. I am not an outsider because I was born in the undivided Vijayapura district when Bagalkot was part of it. Besides, my father (minister Shivanand Patil) has cordial relations with the leaders of the district. It is believed that your fathers influence has worked in your favour... Yes, his influence and connection with the people here have helped me in not only getting the ticket but also consolidating the votes. Since my father has worked as Bagalkot in-charge minister, he has a good relationship with leaders here. If a voter asks you why he or she should vote for you, what would be your reply? Bagalkot has not seen expected development during incumbent MP PC Gaddigoudars tenure. Important projects such as the Bagalkot-Kudachi railway line have been moving at a snails pace for three decades. The district has not received any major projects. All that has happened because of lack of political will. I wish to give the district its due share in development. Are you confined to Bagalkots issue or also talking about national issues? I am raising national issues because it is the polls to form the Union Government. I am vehemently telling how the Modi government has failed to fulfill its promises of generating employment, doubling farmers income, checking inflation, etc. I am also conveying to the people how the government in Karnataka is helping people through its five guarantees. People have decided to change the government at the Centre and the MP in Bagalkot.

SP, Cong want to divide people
Accusing Congress and Samajwadi Party of wanting to change the Constitution of Dr B R Ambedkar, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the two parties were trying to divide the country on the basis of religion and caste. The CM stated this during a roadshow in Mainpuri and during public meetings in Etah and Firozabad, on Thursday. Through its manifesto, Congress is trying to change the Constitution to divide the country on the lines of religion. When making the Constitution in 1950, Babasaheb had said there can be no religion-based reservation. It cannot happen because this had become the reason for the countrys division. Congress has said they will cut a portion of the OBCS and SCs and give it to Muslims. Congress and SP are going against what Babasaheb had said. This is a conspiracy to damage the country, he said.

Indonesia to permanently relocate 10,000 people after Ruang volcano eruptions
Indonesia to permanently relocate 10,000 people after Ruang volcano eruptions The Indonesian government will permanently relocate almost 10,000 residents after a series of explosive eruptions of the Ruang volcano has raised concerns about the dangers of residing on the island in future, a minister said on Friday. About 9,800 people live on Ruang island, in the province of North Sulawesi, but in recent weeks all residents have been forced to evacuate after the mountain has continued to spew incandescent lava and columns of ash kilometres into the sky. Authorities this week raised the alert status of the volcano to the highest level, closed the provincial airport in Manado, and also warned of the a possible tsunami if parts of the mountain collapse into the surrounding waters. Hundreds of simple but permanent homes would be built in the Bolaang Mongondow area to facilitate the relocations, said coordinating human development minister Muhadjir Effendy, after a cabinet meeting to discuss the volcano on Friday. As instructed by President Joko Widodo, we will build houses that meet disaster-standards, he said, adding that the site was located about 200 km (125 miles) from Ruang island. Mount Ruang began to dramatically erupt last month, with experts saying the eruptions were triggered by increased seismic activity, including deep sea earthquakes. The mountain erupted again on Tuesday, causing damage to some homes and forcing residents to evacuate from the Tagulandang island, where they had initially sought refuge, to the provincial capital of Manado. Roads and buildings on Tagulandang were blanketed in a thick layer of volcanic ash, and the roofs of some homes had collapsed, according a Reuters witness. The volcano had not erupted on Friday but Manado's Sam Ratulangi Airport remained closed until the evening due to the spread of volcanic ash. Indonesia straddles the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of high seismic activity where multiple tectonic plates meet.

Congress attempting to divide People: PM Modi
Ahmedabad: In his recent address at an election rally in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress of attempting to divide Hindus for political gain through appeasement tactics. He criticized the Congress for proposing religious-based reservation and alleged that they are playing a dangerous game to create division among Hindus. Modi referenced Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge's statement about Lord Ram and Lord Shiva, stating it was made with malicious intent to sow discord among Hindu communities. Modi also criticized the Congress for rejecting an invitation to the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and accused them of consistently making detrimental decisions. He highlighted the Congress' manifesto, alleging that it includes appeasement politics by proposing separate quotas for minorities, particularly Muslims, in government tenders. The Prime Minister emphasized that government contracts are currently awarded based on expertise and capability, not caste or religion, and warned against the destructive consequences of implementing religious-based reservation in the allocation of tenders. Modi condemned the Congress' alleged attempts to divide the country along religious lines and vowed to launch a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about the Constitution following the announcement of poll results on June 4. He affirmed his commitment to celebrating the Constitution's 75th anniversary and exposing those seeking to alter it, stating that it is imperative to teach them a lesson.

Jagan slams Naidu for ignoring peoples welfare in Andhra Pradesh
Naraspur: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday slammed the Opposition leader and TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu for ignoring the welfare of the people during his tenure as Chief Minister. Launching a blistering attack on Naidu during an election campaign, Jagan Mohan Reddy said the former did nothing for the people. If you ask Naidu, who worked as a Chief Minister three times for 14 years, about one good work he did for the welfare of people during his regime, there will be no reply from him, he said. Naidus entire tenure was full of unfulfilled promises and deception, he alleged. Thanking people for attending the election campaign in large numbers in scorching heat, Jagan Mohan Reddy asked them to think wisely before casting their vote as Naidu has once again came up with promises in the name of super-6. He sought to know what had happened to the promises including unemployment dole to youth and making a Singapore-like capital city in Andhra Pradesh. He (Naidu) ignored all the promises mentioned in the manifesto in 2014 and he is again announcing super-6 promises which cannot be fulfilled given his previous track record, Jagan Mohan Reddy said. Believing Naidus unfulfilled promises is nothing but putting your head into pythons mouth, he said, adding that he was fighting Kurukshetrayudham not only for electing MPs and MLAs but for continuing various welfare schemes being implemented by the YSRCP government in the last 59 months in the State.

These Tips Help Keep Elderly People Healthy and Safe During Summer
As the temperature rises and summer approaches, it's crucial to pay special attention to the health and well-being of elderly individuals. Seniors are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses, such as heatstroke and dehydration, due to various factors, including decreased sweat gland function and certain medications they may be taking. To ensure that our elderly loved ones stay healthy and safe during the summer months, we've consulted with experts to provide essential tips and advice. Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is paramount, especially during hot weather. Encourage elderly individuals to drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if they don't feel thirsty. Dehydration can sneak up quickly, leading to serious health issues. Offer water-rich fruits like watermelon and cucumbers as tasty and hydrating snacks. Dress Appropriately: Choose lightweight, loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen. Light-colored clothing reflects sunlight and helps to keep the body cool. Encourage seniors to wear wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses when venturing outdoors to protect their skin and eyes from harmful UV rays. Stay Indoors During Peak Hours: The sun's rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Encourage elderly individuals to limit outdoor activities during these peak hours. Instead, suggest engaging in indoor activities or going for a walk early in the morning or later in the evening when it's cooler. Keep Living Spaces Cool: Ensure that indoor spaces are adequately ventilated and kept cool during hot weather. Use fans, air conditioning, or open windows to circulate air and maintain a comfortable temperature. Consider installing window shades or using reflective films to block out direct sunlight and reduce heat buildup indoors. Be Mindful of Medications: Certain medications, such as diuretics and antihypertensives, can increase the risk of dehydration and heat-related illnesses. Encourage elderly individuals to consult with their healthcare provider about any medications they are taking and whether adjustments need to be made during hot weather. Monitor for Signs of Heat-Related Illness: Educate caregivers and family members about the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, which can include nausea, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and confusion. Encourage them to regularly check on elderly loved ones, especially those living alone, and seek medical attention immediately if any concerning symptoms arise. Maintain a Balanced Diet: Eating a healthy and balanced diet is essential for overall well-being, especially during summer when appetite may decrease due to the heat. Encourage seniors to consume light and nutritious meals rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid heavy, greasy foods that can contribute to feelings of discomfort in hot weather. Stay Connected: Loneliness and social isolation can have a significant impact on the mental and emotional well-being of elderly individuals. Encourage regular communication and social interaction with friends, family, and neighbors, whether in person, over the phone, or through video calls. Check-in regularly to provide support and companionship. By following these essential tips, we can help elderly individuals stay healthy, comfortable, and safe during the summer months. It's important to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing the unique challenges that hot weather poses for seniors. With proper care and attention, we can ensure that our elderly loved ones enjoy a happy and healthy summer season. The Salty Secret: Why Adding Salt to Your Water Is a Summer Game-Changer

Nearly 2,200 people have been arrested during pro-Palestinian protests on US college campuses
LOS ANGELES (AP) Police have arrested nearly 2,200 people during pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses across the United States in recent weeks, sometimes using riot gear, tactical vehicles and flash-bang devices to clear tent encampments and occupied buildings. One officer accidentally discharged his gun inside a Columbia University administration building while clearing out protesters camped inside, authorities said. No one was injured by the officer's mistake late Tuesday inside Hamilton Hall on the Columbia campus, the NYPD said Thursday. He was trying to use the flashlight attached to his gun at the time and instead fired a single round that struck a frame on the wall. There were other officers but no students in the immediate vicinity, officials said. Body camera footage shows when the officer's gun went off, but the district attorney's office is conducting a review, a standard practice. Police break up protests, make arrests at UCLA, Yale, Dartmouth, New York schools More than 100 people were taken into custody during the Columbia crackdown, just a fraction of the total arrests stemming from recent campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war. A tally by The Associated Press recorded at least 56 incidents of arrests at 43 different U.S. colleges or universities since April 18. The figures are based on AP reporting and statements from universities and law enforcement agencies. Early Thursday, officers surged against a crowd of demonstrators at University of California, Los Angeles, ultimately taking at least 200 protesters into custody after hundreds defied orders to leave, some forming human chains as police fired flash-bangs to break up the crowds. Police tore apart a fortified encampments barricade of plywood, pallets, metal fences and dumpsters, then pulled down canopies and tents. Like at UCLA, tent encampments of protesters calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies they say support the war in Gaza have spread across other campuses nationwide in a student movement unlike any other this century. Israel has branded the protests antisemitic, while Israels critics say it uses those allegations to silence opposition. Although some protesters have been caught on camera making antisemitic remarks or violent threats, protest organizers some of whom are Jewish call it a peaceful movement to defend Palestinian rights and protest the war. President Joe Biden on Thursday defended the right of students to peaceful protest but decried the disorder of recent days. The demonstrations began at Columbia on April 17 with students calling for an end to the Israel-Hamas war, which has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to the Health Ministry there. Israel launched its offensive in Gaza after Hamas militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, on Oct. 7 and took roughly 250 hostages in an attack on southern Israel. On April 18, the NYPD cleared Columbia's initial encampment and arrested roughly 100 protesters. The demonstrators set up new tents and defied threats of suspension, and escalated their actions early Tuesday by occupying Hamilton Hall, an administration building that was similarly seized in 1968 by students protesting racism and the Vietnam War. Roughly 20 hours later, officers stormed the hall. Video showed police with zip ties and riot shields streaming through a second-floor window. Police had said protesters inside presented no substantial resistance. The officer's gun went off at 9:38 p.m., the NYPD said, about 10 minutes after police started pouring into Hamilton Hall. The department did not name the officer, whose actions were first reported by news outlet The City on Thursday. Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters remain on UCLA campus despite police ordering them to leave The confrontations at UCLA also played out over several days this week. UCLA Chancellor Gene Block told alumni on a call Thursday afternoon that the trouble started after a permitted pro-Israel rally was held on campus Sunday and fights broke out and live mice were tossed into the pro-Palestinian encampment later that day. In the following days, administrators tried to find a peaceful solution with members of the encampment and expected things to remain stable, Block said. That changed late Tuesday, he said, when counterdemonstrators attacked the pro-Palestinian encampment. Campus administrators and police did not intervene or call for backup for hours. No one was arrested that night, but at least 15 protesters were injured. The delayed response drew criticism from political leaders, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and officials pledged an independent review. New York police clear pro-Palestinian protesters from Columbia University after occupation By Wednesday, the encampment had become much more of a bunker and there was no other solution but to have police dismantle it, Block said. The hourslong standoff went into Thursday morning as officers warned over loudspeakers that there would be arrests if the crowd at the time more than 1,000 strong inside the encampment as well as outside of it did not disperse. Hundreds left voluntarily, while another 200-plus remained and were ultimately taken into custody. Meanwhile, protest encampments at other schools across the U.S. have been cleared by police resulting in more arrests or closed voluntarily. But University of Minnesota officials reached an agreement with protesters not to disrupt commencements, and similar compromises have been made at Northwestern University in suburban Chicago, Rutgers University in New Jersey and Brown University in Rhode Island.

The revised guidelines particularly prohibit citizens from working at Confucius Institutes -- non-profit educational institutes funded by the Chinese government to spread the culture of China. These educational institutes have also come under suspicion as tools for political influence, CNA reported. The organizations which have been included in the blacklist were the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) which is China's semi-official body in charge of handling technical and business matters with Taiwan and All-China Youth Federation and the All-China Federation of Taiwanese Compatriots. As per the Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area (the Cross-Strait Act), people who work for banned organizations can face a fine of NT$100,000 to NT$500,000, CNA reported. According to the Act, the person who breaches the rule is a government official or a person working in defense, foreign affairs, intelligence, China affairs, or other relevant agencies whose work is linked to matters of national security or other classified information, can face up to three years in prison. The MAC said the Act has been revised to stop China from intentionally exploiting the regulations. It further said that it had originally established the guidelines in 2004 in accordance with the authority given to it under the Cross-Strait Act. The MAC said that the rules, however, remained unchanged in the past 20 years, even as the Chinese underwent significant structural changes, according to a Central News Agency report. After the announcement, the Taiwanese counterpart to the ARATS, the Straits Exchange Foundation, announced it would make efforts to explain the changes in the law to Taiwanese people travelling frequently between Taiwan and China, to ensure they do not accidentally run afoul of the law.
