“Women will never forgive you for this sin,” she said in an address to the nation and affirmed that it was only a matter of time before women would be given their fair share in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures. He said, “I assure every woman that we will remove every obstacle that comes in the way of women’s reservation.” He began his 30-minute impassioned speech by apologizing to women for his government’s inability to pass a bill to amend the Women’s Reservation Act despite utmost efforts. Saying that those who defeated the bill had thwarted the upliftment of women and suppressed their aspirations, Modi said, “I apologize to our mothers and sisters.” Soon, he switched gears to criticize the opposition, especially the Congress, Trinamool Congress, SP and DMK, naming the four parties for spreading lies to mislead people on the intention of the proposed amendments. He exposed himself before the country, he said.It is rare for Modi to take aim at his political rivals in his address to the nation, which he has generally used to speak on important policy and governance matters. His departure after the united opposition rejected his repeated appeals and subsequent assurance that his criticism of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha would be addressed would seem to indicate its intention to fight him. Rejecting opposition parties’ charge that delimitation will reduce the share of southern states in the Lok Sabha, he said the purpose of the bill is not to take away anything, but to give something equally to every state, whether big or small. The Women’s Reservation Amendment Bill was the need of the hour, as it also sought to increase the political power of every region, be it North, South, East or West, and have equal percentage in the state. However, he said, family-run parties like Congress, TMC, Samajwadi Party and DMK were afraid that a strong women leadership would threaten the hold of their ruling families. “Members of these parties were thumping their tables after snatching away the rights of women. This was not just thumping the table but was also an attack on the self-respect of women. And women can forget everything except the insult,” she said. “We may not have the required 66% votes to pass the bill, but I know we have the blessings of 100% women,” she said, reflecting an assessment that the BJP can turn this setback into an opportunity to increase support among women. He also believed that his opponents would have to suffer the consequences of his decision. “I want to say clearly that those who opposed the Constitution Amendment Bill are taking women lightly.” He said parties like Congress, Trinamool, SP and DMK are guilty of this feticide, before accusing the main opposition party of historically disdaining reservation for women and being essentially an “anti-reform” party that has criticized every step of his government, be it GST, digital payments, abrogation of Article 370 and triple talaq or CAA. He said, Congress rejects and fails every reform necessary for a developed India in the 21st century. Modi said these parties betrayed their own people and parties like DMK and TMC had a big opportunity to politically empower more people of their state. He said, while the Congress itself has lost its relevance in many parts of the country and is now living like parasites with its allies, yet it has forced them to oppose the Bill to ruin its future. He condemned the government’s attempt to create a North versus South divide despite repeated claims that no state would be harmed. He said Congress has inherited the divide and rule mentality from the British, claiming that every challenge faced by the country is a result of the party being steeped in negativity and anti-reform ethos. He said, “For us, national interest is paramount. But when for some parties, party interest becomes everything and is placed above national interest, then women empowerment and national interest have to suffer as a result.” Modi said that like women, he too is saddened by the failure to bring changes in the early implementation of the Women’s Reservation Act. But they ended with defiance rather than disappointment. He said, “Our morale has not diminished and our courage remains intact. Our resolve is also unwavering. The parties opposing the Bill will not be able to stop us from increasing the representation of women in legislatures. It is only a matter of time. We may lack numbers, but that does not mean we are defeated. Our will is invincible and we will not be stopped until we fulfill our commitment.”

उत्तराखंड के अधिकारियों ने जनता की 22,246 शिकायतों को जबरन बंद कर दिया। सीएम हेल्पलाइन 1905 की समीक्षा के दौरान जब मुख्यमंत्री पुष्कर सिंह धामी की नजर इस आंकड़े पर पड़ी तो वे नाराज हो गए. उन्होंने साफ कहा कि अगर कोई भी अधिकारी जबरन शिकायत बंद करेगा तो उसके खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई की जाएगी.

कहा कि जिलाधिकारी, विभागाध्यक्ष अथवा संबंधित सचिव की संस्तुति के बिना किसी भी स्तर पर शिकायतों को जबरन बंद करने की कार्रवाई न की जाए।

सीएम धामी ने शुक्रवार को सचिवालय में सीएम हेल्पलाइन 1905 की समीक्षा की.

उन्होंने कहा कि हेल्पलाइन सिर्फ एक टेलीफोन नंबर नहीं बल्कि जनता की अपेक्षाओं और विश्वास का एक महत्वपूर्ण माध्यम है। हेल्पलाइन पर प्राप्त शिकायतों का निस्तारण तब तक किया जाए जब तक शिकायतकर्ता की पूर्ण संतुष्टि सुनिश्चित न हो जाए।

us President donald trump announced this week that he has formally directed the War Department and federal intelligence agencies to declassify and release government records regarding unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and extraterrestrial life.Speaking at a rally in Phoenix, POTUS said the process of identifying “very interesting documents” is currently underway. He told the crowd that the first batch of these releases would begin “very, very soon,” though the White House has not yet provided a specific calendar for document drops.

Instructions to Federal Agencies

In February 2026, Trump issued a formal directive to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and other agency heads. The order directs the government to locate and prepare for public release any files related to:

Following this directive, the Administration registered the domain Aliens.gov in March, which was intended to serve as a central clearinghouse for unclassified materials.

Congress pressure

This step has been taken amid the growing standoff between the Pentagon and Capitol Hill. Representative Anna Paulina Luna, chair of the House Task Force on Federal Secrets, recently demanded the release of 46 specific classified videos. These videos purportedly show “tic-tac-shaped” objects performing maneuvers in restricted airspace and combat zones.Representative Tim Burchett has also pushed for transparency, citing the classified briefing on UAP, which he claims contains information that would “set the earth on fire” if made public. Both lawmakers have criticized the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) for missing a deadline to provide these records to Congress.

What is expected in the files?

Although the exact contents remain classified, upcoming releases are expected to focus on:

Conclusions of the previous government

Despite Trump’s enthusiasm, official military reports remain cautious. A 2024 report by AARO stated that no evidence had been found to confirm that extraterrestrial technology is involved in any UAP sightings. The military has historically attributed many sightings to balloons, drones or sensor malfunction. However, whistleblowers such as former intelligence officer David Grush testified to Congress in 2023 that the US maintains a “multi-decade” program to recover and reverse-engineer crashed aircraft. The government has previously denied these claims, but the new executive order is designed to force a fresh search of agency records to settle the debate.The White House has indicated that the “expedited release” of these never-before-seen materials is now a priority for the administration’s second term.

अयोध्या जिले के बीकापुर ब्लॉक क्षेत्र में भीषण आग लगने की घटना सामने आई है, जहां ग्राम सभा बैंती कला के खेतों में अचानक भीषण आग लग गई, जिससे किसानों को भारी नुकसान हुआ है. सोमवार की रात करीब एक बजे लगी आग से सैकड़ों बीघे गेहूं की खड़ी फसल जलकर राख हो गयी। आग इतनी तेजी से फैली कि कुछ ही देर में पूरा इलाका धुएं और आग की लपटों से भर गया. ग्रामीणों में अफरा-तफरी मच गई और सभी आग बुझाने की कोशिश करने लगे, लेकिन स्थिति पर काबू पाना आसान नहीं था.

आग कैसे लगी और कितना नुकसान हुआ?
ग्राम सभा बैंती कला के तालाबी खेतों में अचानक आग लग गई, जिससे करीब 300 बीघे गेहूं की फसल जलकर राख हो गई। खेतों में पहले से मशीनों से काटे गए गेहूं के पेड़ और भूसा भी पूरी तरह जलकर राख हो गया। इस घटना से किसानों को भारी आर्थिक नुकसान हुआ है, क्योंकि उनकी मेहनत से कमाई गई पूरी फसल एक ही रात में बर्बाद हो गई।

ग्रामीणों का प्रयास और तेज हवा बाधा बन गयी
आग लगने की सूचना मिलते ही आसपास के गांवों में अफरातफरी मच गयी. ग्रामीण तुरंत मौके पर पहुंचे और अपने स्तर से आग बुझाने का प्रयास करने लगे। लेकिन तेज हवा के कारण आग तेजी से फैल गई, जिससे स्थिति और भी गंभीर हो गई. लोगों ने पानी व अन्य साधनों से आग पर काबू पाने का प्रयास किया, लेकिन सफल नहीं हो सके।

फायर ब्रिगेड और पुलिस ने मोर्चा संभाला
घटना की जानकारी मिलते ही फायर ब्रिगेड की गाड़ियां और पीआरबी 112 पुलिस मौके पर पहुंच गई। कड़ी मशक्कत के बाद टीमें आग पर काबू पाने की कोशिश में जुट गईं। काफी देर की मशक्कत के बाद धीरे-धीरे आग पर काबू पाया गया, जिससे आसपास के अन्य खेतों को बचाया जा सका।

कारणों की जांच जारी है
ग्रामीणों के अनुसार आग लगने का कारण अभी तक स्पष्ट रूप से पता नहीं चल पाया है. प्रशासन और अग्निशमन विभाग पूरे मामले की जांच कर रहा है. अधिकारी यह पता लगाने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं कि आग आकस्मिक थी या इसके पीछे कोई और कारण था। फिलहाल किसानों को हुए नुकसान का भी आकलन किया जा रहा है.

A US lawmaker criticized the detention of Indian-origin court interpreter Meenu Batra, who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) despite living in the United States and working in the legal system for nearly 35 years.Meenu Batra, 53, has been described as the only licensed Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu court interpreter in Texas. She has spent decades in the US, raising her own children and working within the immigration court system to help South Asian immigrants deal with legal proceedings.Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro also condemned Trump’s mass deportation initiative, emphasizing his case on X: “Meenu Batra is the only Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu court interpreter in Texas. She spent most of her life working and raising her children in Texas. Despite having humanitarian protection, ICE detained him. Trump’s mass deportation campaign is not going after the worst-case scenario. It is targeting contributing members of our communities and breaking families.“British journalist Mehdi Hasan also re-shared the post. Batra was detained at Harlingen International Airport in Texas on March 17 while traveling for work. She was traveling to Wisconsin for court-related work when she was stopped by ICE agents after passing through security.She told the Texas Observer that the agents were not in uniform and were not displaying visible badges. An officer reportedly questioned her status and asked if she knew she had a deportation order and whether she was in the country illegally.“I read a lot of news and hence I followed their orders,” Batra said, adding that he decided not to protest during the arrest.His legal team said he was granted a “stay of removal” by an immigration judge decades ago, with work authorization routinely renewed. However, officials reportedly told her, “This doesn’t mean you can stay here forever.”After being taken into custody, he was transported to ICE facilities in Texas, where he remained detained. He was moved between detention centers and kept without food or water for almost 24 hours. He also contracted an illness during his detention and is receiving limited medical care following recent surgery.Batra’s lawyers argue that she should not have been detained without proper notice and say that she has been living in the US under legally protected status. They have filed a habeas corpus petition challenging his detention and demanding his release.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said she had a final deportation order issued in 2000 and would remain in custody until removed. Officials also clarified that work authorization is not equivalent to legal immigration status.

मुजफ्फरनगर जिले के रतनपुरी थाना क्षेत्र के मोहम्मदपुर माफी गांव में शुक्रवार को उस समय अफरा-तफरी मच गई जब एक पटाखा गोदाम में अचानक भीषण आग लग गई. इस हादसे में वहां काम कर रहे दो नाबालिग गंभीर रूप से झुलस गए, जिन्हें तुरंत अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया. घटना की जानकारी मिलते ही जिला प्रशासन और पुलिस विभाग के वरिष्ठ अधिकारी मौके पर पहुंचे और स्थिति का जायजा लिया.

स्थानीय लोगों के मुताबिक, आग तेजी से फैली, जिससे कुछ देर के लिए पूरे इलाके में दहशत का माहौल बन गया. फायर ब्रिगेड और पुलिस की संयुक्त कार्रवाई से आग पर काबू पाया जा सका.

इलाके में पटाखा बनाने का काम चल रहा था

प्रारंभिक जानकारी के अनुसार गांव निवासी उमरेज पुत्र कसमुद्दीन के घर के पड़ोस में पटाखा निर्माण से संबंधित गोदाम संचालित हो रहा था। बताया जा रहा है कि यहां लंबे समय से पटाखों का निर्माण और भंडारण किया जा रहा था.

घटना वाले दिन अचानक आग लगने के कारण परिसर में रखे ज्वलनशील पदार्थ ने आग को तेजी से फैलने दिया, जिससे कुछ देर के लिए स्थिति बेहद गंभीर हो गयी.

घटना में दो नाबालिग गंभीर रूप से झुलस गए

आग लगने के समय गोदाम के अंदर काम कर रहे दो किशोर इसकी चपेट में आ गए। घायल बच्चों की पहचान कादिर पुत्र कासिम (उम्र करीब 15 वर्ष) और हुजैफा पुत्र आजम (उम्र करीब 15 वर्ष) के रूप में हुई है।

Branded as one of the weakest attacks in the Indian Premier League this season, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowlers pulled together and worked hard to seal a resounding win at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday, April 18.

Under the leadership of Nitish Reddy, SRH mounted a strong counterattack against the Chennai Super Kings batting unit, restricting the visitors to 184/8 while defending 195 runs at home, in a game where almost 80 per cent of the crowd supported the away team. CSK supporters turned Uppal yellow and made the atmosphere hostile for the home team, keeping the pressure on with chants of ‘CSK, CSK’ throughout the game.

| srh vs csk highlights | Achievement: |

Chasing 195, CSK got off to a great start and scored 76 runs in the first six overs, threatening to snatch the game early. However, the visitors lost momentum after the powerplay as SRH’s bowlers produced a brilliant collective effort, executing their plans to perfection against the likes of Matt Short, Dewald Brewis and Shivam Dubey and pulling the game deep into the chase consistently.

Defending 18 runs off the last six balls, uncapped paceman Prafulla Hinge, who had already given away 54 runs in his first three overs, almost lost his cool after bowling a waist-high no-ball on the third ball of the over. With the pressure mounting and the crowd rallying behind CSK, Hinz maintained his composure and bowled three excellent balls to restrict the opposition to 184/8 at the end of the 20th over.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that CSK were running away from the game in the beginning itself. Young Ayush Mhatre gave them a brilliant start, scoring 30 runs in just 13 balls and immediately put SRH on the backfoot. However, his momentum was halted due to a hamstring injury in the fifth over and Mhatre was out on the very next ball.

Mhatre’s wicket in the fifth over, followed by captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s dismissal in the sixth over, gave SRH the perfect opening to counter-attack and they counter-attacked, draining the life out of CSK’s innings.

A lot of credit should be given to Nitish Reddy for bowling brilliantly against CSK. He bowled full and fast, while also mixing in the occasional sharp bouncer to keep the batsmen uncomfortable. Nitish’s intensity took CSK by surprise and the team handed him the important wickets of Sanju Samson and Ayush Mhatre.

Once the floodgates opened, SRH brought in pace bowlers Saqib Hussain and Ehsan Malinga to tighten the grip in the middle overs. Both of them bowled full and fast, constantly affecting the batting of CSK batsmen and making life difficult for the opposition team. Once the ball started to reverse after the 15th over, it became almost impossible for the CSK batsmen to score runs as they were not able to deal with the sideways movement of the ball. What’s worse is that he didn’t really pick up the slower balls that were bowled on the pitch, which left the batsmen unable to find any pace in the death overs.

Along with the fast bowlers came Madhya Pradesh’s left-arm wrist spinner Shivang Kumar, also known as the Noor Ahmed of India. Shivang’s consistent googlies were flying away from the right-handed batsman’s bat, putting a real brake on CSK’s scoring rate and forcing them to make mistakes.

Malinga finished with figures of 4-0-19-3, Shakib returned with figures of 4-0-32-1, while Shivang recorded figures of 3-0-18-1, which also included the crucial wicket of Dewald Brevis, who was out for 0 off 4 balls.

CSK never really recovered from that collapse and eventually collapsed to 184/8 in their 20 overs.

At this point, perhaps it needs to be highlighted again that SRH were said to have one of the thinnest bowling attacks at the start of the season. And they probably are. Just proved once again that even on non-competitive decks, Indian uncapped bowlers are good enough to trouble world-class hitters if given a solid plan.

On Saturday, the plan was simple. Bowled with good zip and tried to hit it over the off stump. Show good intentions. And when the time comes, hit your yorkers. And that was all it took to defeat CSK today. Credit must be given to the SRH management – especially Varun Aaron who was constantly in the ears of the bowlers, giving them guidance from the sideline.

CSK lost, but getting better day by day

Chennai Super Kings had gained momentum by winning two consecutive matches at home, but their momentum once again came to a halt after they failed to show bravery with the bat at the Rajiv Gandhi Uppal Stadium on Saturday.

The batting effort failed to support the bowling unit, which has been on the money for three consecutive matches this season. On the day, CSK started well against Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head with a familiar off-spin plan that we have seen throughout the T20 World Cup.

‘Travishack’ struggled to get the first two overs of spin, leaving Ruturaj Gaikwad a little greedy. The CSK skipper made the mistake of bowling his third over to Matt Short inside the powerplay, a move that produced results none of the team in yellow would have liked.

Abhishek cut loose and got SRH’s batting back on track by scoring 25 runs.

CSK felt the full wrath of Abhishek, who completed his half-century in just 15 balls. When it looked like SRH would reach 230-250, CSK hit back with quick wickets, dismissing Travis Head and Ishan Kishan in the final over of the powerplay.

Head hit a rank full toss straight to mid-off, while Kishan was tempted by a slot ball but lost his shape and headed straight to Ruturaj Gaikwad.

However, the mood of the game changed on the last ball of the eighth over, when Jamie Overton bowled Abhishek. On the last ball of the over, Overton edged Abhishek and the ball went into the hands of Sanju Samson behind the stumps. Samson appealed, but there was no interest from the bowler or the umpire. As both looked to accelerate, Samson forced the captain to take a DRS review, with Abhishek taking a feather on the outside edge.

SRH, from 75/0, suddenly became 93/3 in the space of 12 balls.

Heinrich Klaasen took over the innings after the top-order was dismissed, but could not do much damage due to the disciplined bowling of the CSK unit. Jamie Overton was the real hero here, rocketing at 150 kmph and hitting the batsmen hard at good lengths.

CSK’s bowlers really shone in the death overs, where they executed the round-the-wicket yorker plan against the SRH batsmen, conceding less than 20 runs in the last three overs.

Liam Livingstone, brought in as an impact sub, played a horror innings and was out on the last ball after scoring just 1 run off 5 balls.

However, CSK’s middle-order could not live up to the bowling standards and failed to chase the target of 195 runs.

After the game, CSK remained seventh in the IPL table, while SRH moved up to fourth with three wins from six matches.
