Diljit Dosanjh Receives Notice: No Drug Promotion at Concert

Ahead of his 'Dil-Luminati' concert in Hyderabad on Friday, Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh has received a legal notice from the Telangana government, prohibiting him from performing songs that promote alcohol, drugs, and violence. The notice was prompted by a complaint from Chandigarh-based professor Panditrao Dharenavar, who provided video evidence of Dosanjh's previous performances in Delhi where such themes were allegedly present. Additionally, the notice advises against allowing children on stage due to health concerns related to high sound levels, which can exceed safe limits for young audiences. The concert, expected to draw over 20,000 attendees, will take place at GMR Arena, with police deployed for crowd and traffic management. Diljit, who arrived in Hyderabad on Wednesday, shared his experiences of the city on social media, including a ride in an auto-rickshaw and a visit to the iconic Charminar. sources

Fadnavis and Pawar Clash Before Maharashtra Elections

MUMBAI: Tensions have escalated within Maharashtra's ruling coalition as Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar rejected the controversial "batenge toh katenge" slogan, coined by BJP campaigner Yogi Adityanath, arguing it is unsuitable for the state. His dismissal prompted a sharp response from BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, who accused Pawar of clinging to outdated ideologies and failing to grasp public sentiment. Fadnavis emphasized that the slogan’s message of unity is misunderstood by Pawar and his former allies, who historically opposed Hindutva. The slogan has also caused discomfort among other BJP leaders, including Pankaja Munde and Ashok Chavan, who expressed their disapproval. As Maharashtra prepares for elections on November 20, the opposition is capitalizing on these divisions, challenging the BJP to reconcile the conflicting messages from its leaders. Votes will be counted on November 23. sources

Retired Delhi Engineer Scammed of Rs 10 Crore Online

A 72-year-old retired engineer in Rohini, New Delhi, was defrauded of over Rs 10 crore after being held on "digital arrest" for eight hours at his home. The incident began when he received a call about a parcel from Taiwan, allegedly containing banned drugs, which had been intercepted at Mumbai airport. The caller, claiming to be a police official, instructed him to download Skype for a video call, during which he was coerced into transferring the funds to various accounts. Police have since filed an FIR through the Cyber Cell and the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) wing, managing to freeze Rs 60 lakh of the embezzled amount. Authorities suspect the perpetrators are based abroad, with local accomplices aiding in the scam. The victim's family reported the incident to police in early October after he disclosed the situation to them, amid threats to his children living overseas. sources

Ajit Pawar: I Regret Pitting Wife Against Supriya Sule

Maharashtra's assembly elections on November 20 will determine the future of 288 seats, with Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar acknowledging a misstep in fielding his wife, Sunetra Pawar, against cousin Supriya Sule in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where Sule won by over 1.5 lakh votes. Pawar emphasized his focus on campaigning for the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) within the Mahayuti alliance, despite pressures from partners like the BJP and Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena to join broader campaigns. He highlighted the prevalence of nepotism across political parties, arguing that ultimately, voters decide based on candidates' capabilities. Confident in his own candidacy, Pawar asserted he would "100 per cent" secure his seat, contrasting the upcoming elections with the Lok Sabha results where the Mahavikas Aghadi alliance outperformed Mahayuti. The elections will see the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP facing off against the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP factions. sources

Eknath Shinde Questions Arrests Over Abuse of Power Charge

Elections for Maharashtra's 288-member assembly are scheduled for November 20, with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde framing the contest as a "battle for development." He criticized the previous Uddhav Thackeray-led government for allegedly stalling crucial projects, claiming the Mahayuti alliance has revitalized initiatives like the Coastal Road and Nagpur-Mumbai expressway. Shinde accused Thackeray of betraying the ideological roots of Shiv Sena's founder, Bal Thackeray, and asserted his government’s commitment to local issues and accessibility. Addressing the contentious Maratha reservation issue, Shinde defended his administration's reinstatement of a 10% quota after the MVA government failed to protect it. He also dismissed allegations of misusing agencies, alleging that the former government targeted political opponents. Shinde emphasized his goal of uplifting marginalized communities while positioning himself as a "common man's Chief Minister" in contrast to his predecessors. Counting for the elections will occur three days after the polls. sources

Batenge Toh Katenge" Slogan Divides Allies and BJP Members

The slogan "Batenge toh katenge" (Division is destruction), championed by BJP campaigner Yogi Adityanath in Maharashtra, is causing unease not only among allies but also within the BJP itself. Leaders like Pankaja Munde and Ashok Chavan have expressed their discomfort, with Munde advocating for a focus on development instead of divisive rhetoric. Ajit Pawar of the Nationalist Congress Party criticized the slogan as inappropriate for Maharashtra, emphasizing its lack of relevance. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis defended the slogan as a message of unity against the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi's divisive campaign. Meanwhile, the Opposition is capitalizing on the BJP's internal discord, with Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge highlighting the contradiction between Adityanath's slogan and Prime Minister Modi's call for unity. The situation reflects a growing divide within the BJP as it navigates its messaging ahead of elections. sources

Barron Trump: Football Fan and 6'9" Tall

In the early hours of November 5, 2024, a jubilant Republican crowd in Florida celebrated Donald Trump's anticipated return to the White House, with his youngest son, Barron Trump, taking a rare spotlight alongside his father and mother, Melania. At 18, Barron, who recently cast his first vote, has been quietly advising Trump on appealing to Gen Z voters, notably influencing his father's appearance on Joe Rogan's popular podcast. Born on March 20, 2006, Barron is the only child of Donald and Melania Trump and has largely stayed out of the limelight compared to his older siblings. He attended prestigious schools, including St. Andrew's Episcopal School, and is now a freshman at New York University's Stern School of Business. Standing at 6 feet 9 inches, he is the tallest member of the Trump family, and as the new administration prepares for its second term, speculation grows about Barron's potential role in the coming years. sources
