रक्षा मंत्री राजनाथ सिंह ने अपने संबोधन में कहा कि वह बेबी बूमर पीढ़ी से हैं, जबकि आज के छात्र जेन जेड हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि जेन जेड के बारे में कई गलतफहमियां बनी हुई हैं, लेकिन यह पीढ़ी सबसे नई और सर्वश्रेष्ठ है। उन्होंने कहा कि यह पीढ़ी सहयोग में विश्वास करती है, लचीली है और अपनी जिम्मेदारियों को समझती है। इसके साथ ही इस पीढ़ी का झुकाव इनोवेशन की ओर ज्यादा है। उन्होंने कहा कि जब युवाओं का अनुभव और ऊर्जा एक साथ आती है तो विकास तेजी से होता है।

Mahmoud Khalil lost the deportation case, saying he was not surprised. what happens next?
Mahmoud Khalil lost the deportation case.
Palestinian activist and green card holder Mahmoud Khalil has lost his latest bid in a deportation case, bringing him one step closer to being deported from the country. The Board of Immigration Appeals issued a final order of removal for Khalil after the board ruled that his petition would not be considered. The board’s decisions were not made public but his lawyers shared the news and Khalil also responded that he was not surprised at all. Khalil said, “I am not surprised by this decision by the partisan and politically motivated Board of Immigration Appeals. I have committed no crime. I have broken no laws. The only thing I am guilty of is speaking out against genocide in Palestine – and this administration has weaponized the immigration system to punish me for it.”
Will Mahmoud Khalil be deported now?
His lawyers said he cannot be legally detained or deported because he is pursuing a separate case in the federal court system. Khalil’s lead immigration attorney, Mark Van Der Hout, said, “In all my decades as an immigration lawyer, I have never seen such a baseless and politically motivated decision. The BIA’s decision has no support in the record, it violates a federal court order and we will fight it to the end.” “Federal courts have already agreed that Mahmoud was targeted for his speech, and there is likely further evidence of unlawful government retaliation that has yet to be uncovered. This is a clear continuation of the Administration’s retaliation against Mahmoud for exercising his First Amendment rights.
Who is Mahmood Khalil? ?
Khalil, 31, a green card holder, was arrested inside a residential building at Columbia University in Manhattan on March 8, 2025. When he returned home, agents contacted him and took him into custody when he confirmed he was Mahmoud Khalil. This arrest became a major issue in the second administration of Donald Trump. The government claimed he was affiliated with Hamas because he led pro-Palestinian protests in Colombia. Khalil spent 104 days in immigration jail and missed the birth of his first child. He was ordered released by a federal judge in New Jersey and was not charged. Khalil was born in Syria and holds Algerian citizenship through a distant relative.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah (PTI photo)
New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah Dismissed rumors spreading like wildfire over a purported video of the controversial former TMC leader on Friday Humayun Kabir A “deal worth Rs 1,000 crore” is reportedly being claimed with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rooting out Mamata BanerjeeRuling Trinamool in West Bengal elections.Amit Shah, who is camping in Bengal to leave no stone unturned in the high-voltage elections, said Kabir and the BJP can never come together like the North and South Pole.
Addressing a press conference after releasing the BJP’s manifesto for the Bengal elections, Shah accused Mamata Banerjee’s party of “political conspiracy”.“You don’t know the capabilities of Mamata Banerjee. She can make 2,000 such videos. Humayun Kabir and BJP are like the North Pole and the South Pole. “We can never be together,” news agency ANI quoted Shah as saying.The Union Home Minister said the BJP would prefer to sit in the opposition for 20 years rather than forging an alliance with Humayun Kabir, who made headlines by promising to build Babri Masjid in Bengal.Amit Shah said, “Instead of sitting with those who talk about building Babri Masjid in Bengal, we would prefer to sit in opposition for 20 years.”Kabir also denied the allegations and described the video as fabricated and created through artificial intelligence.“I have not made any agreement with anyone. The clip circulated by Trinamool Congress does not show who was sitting in front of me or in what context the comment was made,” he said.He also tried to turn the tables on the ruling party by invoking this narad sting case.“Firhad Hakim and Saugata Roy were seen taking money in the Narada video. What happened to that case?”. he asked.Kabir had threatened to go to court against this on Thursday TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee and Minister Firhad Hakim if failed to prove the allegation of deal worth crores of rupees.Despite dismissing the controversy, Kabir made it clear that he has no intention of backing down from the election fight.He said, “I am born alone and will fight alone. I will not step back from the fight I have started.”The controversy started with a purported 19-minute video circulated by the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Thursday, which it claimed showed Kabir referring to a secret agreement with the BJP.In the video, whose authenticity PTI could not independently verify, a man resembling Kabir was reportedly heard claiming to be close to opposition leader Suvendu Adhikari and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.The man was also heard saying that he was ready to go to “any extent” to remove Mamata Banerjee from power and that he had received Rs 200 crore in advance as part of a larger arrangement of Rs 1,000 crore.Citing the video, TMC alleged that Kabir’s anti-Mamata stance and his efforts to form a Muslim political front were part of a secret BJP strategy to divide minority votes in key districts like Murshidabad, Malda, North Dinajpur and Birbhum.However, the BJP worked quickly to distance itself from Kabir.
