NEW DELHI: Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his three-nation tour , the Congress on Sunday said he has all the energy, excitement, and enthusiasm -- '3 Es' -- for such visits and asked can he not summon up a 4th E -- empathy -- for going to Manipur where the people's suffering continues unabated. The opposition party also said this is Modi's 35th trip abroad since May 2023, and it was pathetic of the PM to treat Manipur in this awful manner. The Prime Minister leaves for Cyprus, Canada, and Croatia this morning. There was a time when he boasted about his knowledge of algebra by spouting the (a+b)^2 equation as applicable to India and Canada. But things went horribly wrong thereafter, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X. When it appeared that Canada was dragging its feet on the invite to India, Mr. Modi's drum beaters proclaimed that he would not go even if invited. But like always, he stands exposed, Ramesh claimed.

Perhaps Mr. Modi can remind him that according to the Niti Aayog CEO, India became the world's third largest economy on May 24, 2025, the Congress leader said. The Congress leader also shared a video clip of the PM from 2015 in which he is heard giving a mathematical analogy to demonstrate the relationship between the two countries. Ramesh said, This is Mr. Modi's 35th trip abroad since May 2023. He has all the energy, excitement, and enthusiasm--the 3 Es-- for such visits. But can he not summon up a 4th E--empathy-- for going to Manipur where the people's distress, agony and suffering continues unabated? He has met with NOBODY from the state, let alone political leaders, since May 3, 2023. Pathetic of the PM to treat Manipur in this awful manner, he added. The Congress has been attacking the prime minister for not visiting Manipur, besides slamming the Centre for its handling of the situation in the ethnic conflict-torn northeastern state. More than 220 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless in ethnic violence between Imphal Valley-based Meiteis and adjoining hills-based Kuki-Zo groups since May 2023. The Congress last week had accused Prime Minister Modi of insensitivity to the suffering of people in the state. Ramesh had said the suffering of the people of Manipur is not only of the state and the northeastern region but of the entire country. Protests against Meitei militia leader's arrest continue in Manipur; two cops injured The Centre had on February 13 imposed President's rule in the northeastern state after Chief Minister N Biren Singh resigned. The state assembly, which had a tenure till 2027, has been put under suspended animation. Prime Minister Modi on Sunday morning embarked on a three-nation tour during which he will take part in the G7 Summit in Canada, and visit Cyprus and Croatia to shore up India's bilateral cooperation with these two countries. Modi will first be in Cyprus at the invitation of the country's president, Nikos Christodoulides. In the second leg of his visit, Prime Minister Modi will travel to Kananaskis in Canada on June 16-17 to participate in the G7 Summit at the invitation of Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Air India crash in Ahmedabad could be the worst involving a single aircraft in India
The crash of Air India Flight 171 in Ahmedabad on Thursday could be the worst ever accident involving a single aircraft in India. There were 242 people on board the flight, while more casualties are likely on the ground as the plane crashed into a hostel for medical students. The only plane accident in India with more casualties was the mid-air collision of two aircraft over Charkhi Dadri in Haryana, around 100 km from Delhi, in 1996 in which 349 people died. That crash involved the collision of a Saudia flight from Delhi to Dhahran in Saudi Arabia and a Kazakhstan Airlines flight from Chimkent in Kazakhstan to Delhi.

All 213 people on board that flight, which was headed to Dubai, died. The aircraft was a Boeing-747 named Emperor Ashoka. The worst ever crash involving an Air India plane was in 1985 when a flight from Canada to India was blown up over the Atlantic Ocean after a bomb was planted on board by Khalistani terrorists. All 329 people on board were killed.

Operating under the Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indians stranded abroad due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft was flying from Dubai to Kozhikode (Calicut). Such runways, which are located on hilltops, create the optical illusion of being at the same level as the plains below when a pilot comes in for a landing. The crash claimed 21 lives, including both pilots, and left more than 100 injured, some critically. May 22, 2010 Air India Express Flight IX-81 - Mangalore Air India Express Flight IX-812 crashed on May 22, 2010, at Mangalore International Airport, marking one of the deadliest aviation disasters in India.

The 2-year-old aircraft had crashed outside Mangalore airport in Karnataka on May 22, killing 158 people when it burst into flames after overshooting a table-top runway and plunged into a nearby forest.The crash resulted in 158 fatalities, with only 8 survivors, most of whom were seated in the front section of the aircraft. The investigation found that the pilot overshot the table-top runway at Mangalore and tried to pull up the plane but it was too late. November 10, 2009 An ATR-72 passenger plane, operated by Kingfisher Airlines, was damaged when it skidded off the runway on landing at Mumbai-Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM), India.

The flight en-route up to overhead Ludhiana was uneventful. The crew located the runway late due prevailing Low visibility. They were not comfortable with the approach and made a go around; a non-standard go-around due to low visibility. In the anxiety to not to loose the sight of the field they descended in three orbits in the vicinity of the airfield on the west side of R/w 12, perhaps to land after making the short circuit from the right. However they lost the control and impacted with the ground in the steep left bank. Aircraft got destroyed in the crash due to the impact and post impact fire. Both the occupant on board died due to fire and collapsing aircraft structure. Air India crash near Ahmedabad airport: What we know so far March 19, 2008 The Premier 1 corporate jet aircraft took off normally from Jodhpur (JDH), India. The flight en-route up to approach to land at Udaipur (UDR) was uneventful. After clearance to land at Udaipur the pilot selected the flaps-10; the flap didnt respond and Flaps-Fail message flashed. The pilot decided to go for a flap-less landing and carried out the check list for Flaps Up approach & landing.

Manipur: Arambai Tenggol lifts shutdown, seeks its leaders release
Armed Meitei group said it heeded public appeals to end the shutdown; Imphal Valley returning to normalcy on Tuesday after clashes between protestors and security personnel on Monday night
The Manipur government on Tuesday eased prohibitory orders in Imphal West, Imphal East and Bishnupur, allowing residents to move between 5am and 5pm. While daytime movement is permitted, activities that may disrupt law and order are still banned, PTI reported. Prohibitory orders were clamped across five districts of Imphal valley from June 7 night after violent protests broke out following the arrest of an Arambai Tenggol leader by the CBI. Alongside the curfew, authorities also suspended internet and mobile data services, including VSAT and VPN connections, in the affected districts for five days. This blackout was aimed at preventing the spread of inflammatory content and misinformation via social media. However, there are no restrictions for government agencies involved in law enforcement, emergency services, banking, and financial institutions. Security forces remain on alert. Authorities have warned that any actions that threaten public order during the relaxed curfew hours will be dealt with strictly. PM Modi's insensitivity towards the suffering of people in Manipur 'truly shocking': Congress Arambai Tenggol calls off Manipur shutdown Meitei radical group Arambai Tenggol on Tuesday suspended its 10-day total shutdown in Manipur, citing the inconveniences and difficulties faced by the public. The shutdown was called three days ago to protest the arrest of Ashem Kanan Singh (46) , a senior leader of the organisation, and four others. Singh, a police head constable dismissed from service in March this year, was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation for his alleged involvement in various criminal activities related to the 2023 Manipur violence. Addressing the media, Arambai Tenggol spokesperson Robin Mangang said the organisation was calling off the shutdown with immediate effect, but would continue democratic forms of protest until Singhs release. The arrest of Ashem Kanan Singh was unrelated to Arambai Tenggol; it was personal. Arambai Tenggol got involved because he is one of its leaders. We cannot sit quietly. We demonstrated our unity through the protests, Mangang said. When security forces came to take Singh into custody on Saturday night, they met resistance from Arambai Tenggol members, who engaged in pitched battles with personnel and burned tyres in the streets to vent their ire. Over the past three days, Manipur witnessed widespread protests in the Imphal Valley districts. Protesters took to the streets, defying curfew orders, to demand Singhs release. The unrest prompted a group of MLAs from various parties to meet Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, seeking his intervention to restore peace and normalcy. Former Chief Minister N. Biren Singh also visited New Delhi and reportedly discussed the Manipur situation with central leaders.
