Fans will miss India-Pak match, but focus is on title: Jugraj Singh

But the tournament will miss the clash between India and Pakistan, with Bangladesh replacing the former world champions in the tournament after they withdrew

Bangladesh coming in... in my opinion, like in the final match (at the Asian Games), we had Malaysia. The Malaysian team is coming, Japan is coming, China, Korea—these are quite good teams. It is not that they are bad teams; they are good teams, and there will be great matches. You will definitely enjoy watching them."
It will be missing (the intensity of India-Pakistan matches) as public wants these matches to happen. They will miss that match,

CJP activist alleges torture, dares govt to 'jail me 100 times'

Neha Yadavdelhi | DCP
As soon as the Delhi Police received information about the passing away of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) Founder Abhijeet Dipke's grandmother, officers approached him to convey this sad news and offered all possible assistance. They sensitively asked if he needed help with flights, phone calls, or anything else. They repeatedly asked if he wished to speak to his parents, but he declined,

Vijender Gupta inaugurates Ramlila, calls it living expression of values

Vijender Guptadelhi Assembly Speaker
Power, however great, cannot prevail when it stands against righteousness. The triumph of Dharma may be delayed, but it can never be denied,
Ramlila is not merely a retelling of the life of Lord Shri Ram, but a living expression of the values of truth, righteousness, duty and moral conduct that have sustained Indian civilisation for generations,
The strength of our society rests in the relationships that bind families together. The affection, mutual respect and sense of duty that define these bonds are not merely inherited traditions; they are the foundations of our collective identity and social strength,

Kiwis to test opener Finn Allen in middle order for India ODI series

While the opener has established himself as a powerful T20 force, he averages just 27.71 in 22 ODIs and 21 innings, scoring just 582 runs with five fifties

Rob Walternew Zealand coach
I mean, this is a conversation that happened in the T20 World Cup already,
Rob Walternew Zealand coach
It is unlikely that they [Allen and Tim Seifert] will open together,
So, I think there were a few people thinking the same thing at the same time. So, he is obviously available to try anything and he's always up for a challenge. So, yeah, it was not a difficult conversation by any stretch, and it is something that I know he is looking forward to,
The other thing to balance out is that we have got a very successful ODI team and you take Kane [Williamson] out and you could argue or debate that there are gaps that are opening. But we've also had a very strong batting line-up in the 50-over format. There is also other emerging players around the country as well who will be given opportunities to stake their claim as well,
So, we want him to express himself. But there obviously has to be a slight shift in it. And it is very different to when there are only two fielders out in the powerplay of a T20 game. But that said, he also has batted into the latter parts of a T20 game where there are five fielders out. So, hopefully, to find sort of the happy medium in between can provide a nice competitive advantage,

Navratri begins; Shivraj Chouhan's powerful message on respecting women

I wish to tell society this: if we merely worship the Mother Goddess but harbour no respect for daughters or sisters in our hearts, then the Mother (Goddess) herself will not be pleased,
Heartiest greetings to all fellow citizens on the great festival of Navratri dedicated to the practice of divine power. May the grace of Mother Jagadamba bring happiness, peace, prosperity, and good health to everyone's life, strengthening the resolve for national unity and progress.”

Maharashtra farm crisis: Fadnavis appeals for unity, water discipline

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis appeals for unity and water discipline amid a severe farm crisis

Brothers and sisters, this year has brought profound distress to us all. It is a year of severe challenges where we must stand side-by-side and fight this battle against drought together."
During the first two months of the Kharif season, heavy rainfall made the land lush and green, raising hopes for record-breaking crop yields. However, over the following two months, the rains completely vanished. After enduring early floods, the rains disappeared precisely when the crops needed water the most, triggering a major drought. Well water sources, drains, and rivers have dried up, destroying key crops such as cotton, soybean, tur, maize, and sugarcane,
We must maintain drinking water supplies until August, which will require tanker operations on a large scale. I appeal to all villagers: if water is scarce during the Rabi season, do not misuse drinking water reserves for agriculture. Our primary duty is to keep our people and livestock alive through May, June, and July. Our planning must strictly reserve water for human and animal consumption before allocation for any other purpose,

CJP slams Delhi security clampdown, alleges 'open Emergency' in city

The CJP has alleged an 'open Emergency' in Delhi over a heavy security clampdown for its protest

The situation across the country right now mirrors an open Emergency. Such repressive conditions have not been witnessed since the dictatorial regime of 1975,
Ashutosh Ranka Musta press conference, CJP National Spokesperson
Abhijeet’s grandmother passed away yesterday, and the way Delhi Police conducted themselves upon breaking the news was utterly inhuman. It is shameful to see the police force in the nation's capital behave with such insensitivity,
Even at the exact moment Dipke was being told of her demise, police personnel stood around with cameras and microphones, attempting to turn a moment of personal grief into a spectacle,
Shutting down 57 metro stations, suspending trains including Rajdhani services, and forcing markets to close on a Sunday disrupts daily life. The administration is intentionally inconveniencing the public in order to turn sentiment against this youth-led movement,
Over the last three to four days, Delhi has virtually been turned into a cantonment. Between 30,000 and 40,000 security personnel—including border troops and forces airlifted from Kashmir, Bengal, and Naxal-affected belts—have been stationed across the city under severe restrictions. This clampdown does not just target protesters; it punishes ordinary citizens who have nothing to do with the agitation,

Abhijeet Dipke Vowsfounder
You can see where the nation is heading. They are here to arrest us directly from the flight. This is something not even Indira Gandhi had done. This is dictatorship, where Delhi Police has entered the flight and is trying to arrest us. Come on, arrest us. We are here to be arrested. Come on, arrest us. We are here to be arrested... We are not afraid of you,
Abhijeet Dipke Vowsfounder
So, you can see that Delhi Police is entering the plane to arrest us

India won't alter security policy for Starlink: BJP MP to Elon Musk

Musk, in turn, slammed arguments against his company as 'absurd hypocrisy' from competitors

Nishikant DubeybJP MP
First, provide connections to the poor in your own country, America, at affordable rates, and then level accusations; India is a healthy democratic, sovereign nation; it does not change its security policy under pressure or social media,
A post is being circulated in social media regarding the fairness of India’s regulatory framework for satellite communication services and suggesting that it is being applied in a discriminatory manner. The Government has put in place a fair and non-discriminatory authorisation framework for all telecommunication services, including satellite communication services,
In 2013-14, the government of Shri Manmohan Singh ji had informed TRAI about these threats,
As the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee, our committee has understood the challenges facing the country's security agencies through @elonmusk's Starlink,
If our policy were driven by money, we would have rolled out the red-carpet welcome for you despite opposition from the security agencies,
