Jailed Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yasin Malik asserted in the Supreme Court that he is a "political leader and not a terrorist," highlighting past dialogues with seven Prime Ministers. During a video-conference appearance, Malik countered claims made by CBI solicitor general Tushar Mehta, who cited photos of Malik with terrorist Hafiz Saeed to argue he posed a security threat. Malik emphasized that the government has not designated his organization as a terrorist entity under the UAPA and noted that he had been granted bail in 32 cases following a 1994 ceasefire. He criticized the current government's revival of long-standing militant cases against him, stating it contradicts the ceasefire agreement. The Supreme Court denied his request for physical presence in trials related to the kidnapping of Rubaiya Sayeed and a 1990 shootout, allowing him instead to cross-examine witnesses virtually from Tihar Jail. 
Published: Apr 04 2025, 2 pmeznews.inTahawwur Hussain Rana, the Canadian-Pakistani businessman implicated in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, is currently undergoing fresh interrogations in New Delhi following his extradition from the US.

Published: Apr 11 2025, 11 ameznews.inThe recent Congress session in Ahmedabad, while marked by symbolic gestures, failed to present a substantive roadmap for the party's revival amid ongoing electoral setbacks. Senior leaders expressed disappointment, noting a lack of progress since a 2020 letter advocating for reform. Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor highlighted the need for the Congress to evolve from its historical focus and resonate with younger voters, who prioritize future aspirations over past glories. The session emphasized historical symbolism, with resolutions aimed at reclaiming national icons like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel from the BJP, which the Congress accused of a “well-planned conspiracy” to appropriate their legacy. While the party made strides in challenging the BJP's nationalism narrative and addressing religious violence, internal divisions remain over the emphasis on caste issues. Ultimately, Tharoor urged the Congress to adopt a positive, forward-looking agenda, a call that went largely unheeded during the session.

Published: Apr 11 2025, 10 ameznews.inMUMBAI: Indian stock markets opened significantly higher on Friday, buoyed by a strong rally in US markets following President Donald Trump's announcement of a 90-day postponement of reciprocal tariffs on 75 countries, including India. The BSE Sensex surged 1,061.26 points to 74,941.53, while the NSE Nifty rose 354.90 points to 22,754.05, reflecting improved investor sentiment amid easing global trade tensions. However, market expert Ajay Bagga cautioned that the momentum may be short-lived due to a Thursday decline in US markets and a holiday on Monday, which could lead to position reductions. Additionally, gold prices in India reached a record high of Rs91,500 per 10 grams as investors sought safe-haven assets amid rising volatility. Concerns persisted as a White House official confirmed that China's average tariff rate would increase to 145 per cent, further escalating trade tensions.

Published: Apr 11 2025, 9 ameznews.inA new study published in *The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series* reveals that the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a dwarf galaxy approximately 200,000 light-years from Earth, is being torn apart by the gravitational pull of its larger neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Researchers, led by Kengo Tachihara of Nagoya University, analyzed data from the now-retired Gaia spacecraft, finding that stars within the SMC are moving in opposite directions, indicating they are being "pulled apart." This gravitational influence may lead to the SMC's gradual destruction. Additionally, the study uncovered that massive stars in the SMC do not rotate around the galaxy's axis, challenging existing theories about its mass and interactions with the Milky Way and LMC. The SMC's brightness and proximity make it a valuable subject for studying stellar motion and star formation processes in our cosmic neighborhood.

Modi's tweet criticized the Congress-led government's foreign policy, highlighting the US court's declaration of Rana's "innocence" as a "major foreign policy setback" that "disgraced the sovereignty of India."

After exhausting legal options, Rana was taken into custody by India's National Investigation Agency for further investigation.
