Published: Nov 15 2024, 2 pmeznews.inBCCI Secretary Jay Shah has condemned the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) plan to host a Champions Trophy tour in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), citing concerns over "territorial integrity and political interference in sports." Reports indicate that the International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to cancel the tour scheduled for 2025 in PoK areas, including Skardu, Murree, and Muzaffarabad. Shah has urged the ICC to take action regarding India's objections to the PCB's announcement. The ICC previously informed the PCB that India would not participate in the tournament, leaving its future uncertain. Pakistan rejected a hybrid arrangement that would allow India to play at neutral venues, leading to a continued stalemate in bilateral cricket, as the two nations have not faced each other in a series for over a decade. The Champions Trophy is set to take place in Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Karachi from February 19 to March 9, 2025.
Published: Nov 15 2024, 6 pmeznews.inUnion Minister Piyush Goyal has predicted that Congress will be the "worst-performing" opposition party in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, citing internal rifts and dissatisfaction within its leadership. Goyal noted that the Congress, once hopeful of being a dominant partner in the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, is now struggling, particularly following its recent collapse in Haryana, where it lost a significant lead to the BJP due to failure in accommodating allies. Tensions within the MVA alliance have been highlighted by difficulties in seat-sharing negotiations, with nominations finalized just before the deadline. Goyal also dismissed concerns over election officials searching high-profile campaigners' bags as trivial, arguing that it reflects the MVA's impending loss. The elections are set for November 20, with results for all 288 seats to be announced three days later.

Published: Nov 15 2024, 4 pmeznews.inPrime Minister Narendra Modi's aircraft experienced a technical issue at Deoghar airport in Jharkhand, forcing him to wait over two hours before departing for Delhi on another Indian Air Force plane. The snag was detected just as the Prime Minister was about to take off after addressing two rallies commemorating tribal icon Birsa Munda's birth anniversary. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi's helicopter faced a 45-minute delay due to air traffic control clearance, leading the Congress party to accuse the government of deliberately prioritizing Modi's schedule. During his rallies, Modi criticized Gandhi, alleging that he was conspiring to eliminate reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes, while Gandhi advocated for a nationwide caste census and promised to remove the reservation cap.

Reports indicate that the examiner colluded with 21 individuals, allowing them onboard after allegedly accepting bribes ranging from Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 each. The inspection team, prompted by a tip-off, discovered the ticketless passengers in coach C-11, where the examiner was notably absent at the time. As the train halted at Etawah, many ticketless passengers fled. Additionally, another complaint surfaced regarding a TTE overcharging a passenger Rs 1,300 without issuing a proper excess-fare ticket. NCR officials have emphasized a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, pledging strict action against any implicated personnel.
Published: Nov 15 2024, 4 pmeznews.inCongress MP Rahul Gandhi encountered a 45-minute delay in Jharkhand's Godda today as his helicopter awaited clearance from Air Traffic Control (ATC), a situation the Congress party attributes to a deliberate attempt to disrupt his campaign ahead of the state's assembly elections. Party leaders suggested that the ATC's decision prioritized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Deoghar over Mr. Gandhi's travel, prompting the Congress to lodge a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI). The party's letter highlighted concerns over the misuse of protocol to hinder opposition campaigns, asserting that such tactics undermine a level playing field in elections. Mr. Gandhi, while campaigning, criticized the BJP for reducing reservations for backward classes, accusing the party of neglecting their interests. Meanwhile, PM Modi's aircraft faced its own delay due to a technical issue, as the second phase of Jharkhand's assembly elections approaches on November 20.
Published: Nov 15 2024, 3 pmeznews.inMaharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has condemned Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar for derogatory remarks aimed at his wife, Amruta Fadnavis, amid the upcoming Assembly elections. Fadnavis accused Kumar and the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance of resorting to personal attacks due to their inability to challenge the ruling BJP and Shiv Sena coalition effectively. He expressed outrage over the trolls targeting his wife, stating they should "drown in water" for their comments, and emphasized the need for civility in political discourse. Kumar's comments, which dismissed Amruta's social media presence while calling for collective responsibility in safeguarding religion, drew sharp rebuke from BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, who deemed it an insult to Marathi women. The elections are crucial, following the Congress-Sena-NCP alliance's strong performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections, contrasting with the BJP's prior dominance in the 2019 state elections.

This incident follows a series of similar checks on various political leaders, including Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, raising concerns of selective scrutiny. Thackeray, whose bags were searched multiple times, criticized the EC for allegedly not checking ruling party leaders' luggage, a claim EC officials dismissed as routine procedure. In response to the controversy, the Maharashtra BJP shared footage of their leaders undergoing inspections, emphasizing the importance of following constitutional protocols. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also defended the checks as standard practice, questioning the Opposition's concerns over the process.
