A restaurant in the Killing area near Guwahati has sparked widespread outrage following allegations that beef was served in chicken biryani, triggering protests from pressure groups. The accusations, brought forward by Bir Lachit Sena, have raised concerns about food safety, cultural sensitivities, and religious sentiments in Assam. According to Bir Lachit Sena, the restaurant, allegedly owned by the nephew of the University of Science and Technology Meghalaya (USTM) chancellor, sold biryani adulterated with cow meat, deceiving customers. The outlet, reportedly named "Lazeez Syem," is at the centre of this controversy. Meanwhile, India Today NE, when tried to reach out to the owner of the restaurant, it was found that the establishment was shut down in the early hours of November 22. Also Read: It is to be mentioned here that, shop owners beside the establishment claimed that the restaurant owner is actually from Meghalaya and is not related to USTM, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. The issue came to light after a customer, accompanied by a Muslim friend, allegedly discovered beef in the chicken biryani. The Sena has urged both USTM and local authorities to investigate the allegations against "Lazeez Syem" and its possible connections to USTM’s management. In a written complaint filed at the Dispur Police Station, the Bir Lachit Sena stated- "We would like to inform you that yesterday, a few Hindu students at a restaurant were allegedly served beef labelled as chicken meat at an outlet named "Lazeez Syem." This incident has been strongly condemned by "Bir Lachit Sena, Assam." Therefore, we request USTM and the concerned authorities to investigate the owner of the said outlet and the individuals associated with USTM in connection with this incident." Speaking to the media, the cultural secretary of Lackit Sena said, "It has been found that the USTM chancellor's nephew is running a restaurant called "Lazeez Syem" and my brother went there for lunch and ordered chicken biryani, however, it was found that the biryani was adulterated with beef and the same was confirmed by the victim's Muslim friend."Friday's Transactionslol646 casino online games download 。

Dr. Manmohan Singh was often criticized by the opposition and his political opponents, who dubbed him “Maunmohan Singh”—a Hindi term reflecting a “silent” minister. They argued that despite being Prime Minister, he remained silent and powerless in critical situations. A few months before losing power 11 years ago, Manmohan Singh dismissed claims of weakness, asserting that history would judge him more favorably than the contemporary media or the then-opposition BJP, now the ruling party. Critics within his own party were frustrated by his steadfastness on policy matters. According to various reports, Singh stated during his third and final press conference as Prime Minister, “I do not believe that I have been a weak Prime Minister...I honestly believe that history will be kinder to me than the contemporary media or for that matter the Opposition...Given the political compulsions, I have done the best I could do...It is for history to judge what I have done or what I have not done.” He took a jab at his critics who called him a silent prime minister, saying he was never afraid to talk to the media and regularly interacted with the press. This comment is seen as a subtle critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who hasn’t held a single press conference since taking office at that time. "People say I was the silent Prime Minister... I certainly would like to say that I was not the Prime Minister who was afraid of talking to the press”. – Dr. Manmohan Singh, Former Prime Minister of India. And certainly the last Prime Minister to give a press conference. pic.twitter.com/b6MeeqKNpS — Rohini Anand (@mrs_roh08) September 26, 2023 At the launch of his book “Changing India,” a five-volume set, in 2018, he said, “I was not the PM who was afraid of talking to the press. I met the press regularly, and on every foreign trip I undertook, I had a press conference on return. There are large number of those conferences described in the book. People say I was a silent PM, but will speak for themselves. I don’t want to boast about my achievements as PM, but the events are well described in these volumes.” Singh’s remark seemed politically charged, as Modi is often criticized by observers for avoiding media questions, despite having previously targeted Singh as “Maun-mohan” when he was in the opposition. This criticism stems from Modi’s reluctance to hold press conferences or engage directly with the media, a stark contrast to his earlier stance when he frequently accused Singh of being silent and ineffective. Observers note that Modi’s approach to media interactions has led to a perception of a lack of transparency and accountability, further fueling the political tension between the two leaders. At the launch, Singh also added “despite all the hiccups and hurdles, I have no doubt that India will get its action right. Despite the difficulty that may be on the horizon, this country is destined to be a major powerhouse of the global economy.” On the same day, Singh recalled his first budget speech, where he quoted Victor Hugo and said, “No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.” “I suggest to this august house that the emergence of India as a major economic power in the world happens to be one such idea. Let the whole world hear it loud and clear. India is now wide awake. We shall prevail. We shall overcome,” he quoted from his budget speech of 1991. Reflecting on how he became Finance Minister by “accident,” Singh shared that then-Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao initially wanted economist I.G. Patel for the role. However, when Patel declined, the position fell to Singh. “People say I was an accidental Prime Minister, but I was also an accidental Finance Minister,” he remarked humorously. Singh noted that despite changes in government at the Centre, the core direction of India’s economic policy has remained consistent since the reforms initiated in 1991, when he was Finance Minister. Singh stated that the five-volume book, which chronicles his journey as an economist, policymaker, and Prime Minister, stands as a testament to his contributions to the country. When asked about the relationship between the RBI and the government, Singh stressed the importance of a “strong, independent RBI” that works closely with the Central government. He expressed hope that the two entities would find ways to collaborate effectively. “One must respect the autonomy and independence of the RBI. At the same time, I would compare the relationship between the government and the RBI to that of a husband and wife. There will be hiccups and differences of opinion, but ultimately, these must be harmonized so that these two great institutions can work in harmony. Whoever is the Governor of the RBI, I wish him well,” he said. Singh’s tenure as Finance Minister is seen as a pivotal moment in India’s economic history. Confronted with a severe economic crisis, including a balance of payments issue and dwindling foreign reserves, he implemented transformative reforms that liberalized the economy, promoted privatization, and integrated India into global markets. These measures not only averted the crisis but also set India on a trajectory to become one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. His actions during this period are often credited with laying the foundation for the economic growth and development that followed, showcasing his vision and determination in the face of adversity.

Written By Lakshmi Ranjith Updated By Lakshmi RanjithGreen scores 20 as Rhode Island downs Detroit Mercy 81-75Benazir Bhutto: A real champion of democracy Former prime minister Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. — APP/File In a country which except for its first couple of years had always been ruled by its establishment, founder Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Zulfikar Ali Bhutto proclaimed “democracy is our politics” and “all power to the people” as two of the four of the founding principles of his new party on its foundation day. In spite of all the machinations of the establishment, the PPP defeated all reactionary pro-establishment parties in the elections of 1970 and won with a big majority in what is now Pakistan. A new pole of power, that of the power of the people, was thus created in Pakistan. In the post-Bhutto period, political power has been oscillating between these two poles: the establishment and the people. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700472799616-0'); }); It is dictatorship when the establishment captures state power, either directly or through proxy parties created by it to block the march of democracy. One distinguishing factor for Pakistan has remained that the establishment has always ruled with the support of Western imperialism, who in the garb of friendship have always been taking military duty from our country. It has been democracy although for limited periods when the forces of the people have asserted their right on state power even after heavily rigged elections. Quite a few countries have experienced long periods of military dictatorship and their tyranny after the execution of their democratic leaders with one general succeeding the other. Those aspiring for democracy in Pakistan also faced the worst tyranny after the assassination of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Many went to the gallows and suffered lashes and jails. Some went into hiding. Some others secretly left the country. There was despair and hopelessness. The forces of democracy were all scattered and uprooted. What was happening in Pakistan during military dictatorship was not dissimilar to what had happened in other countries which had faced long military dictatorships. Yet there was a difference and the difference was young Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed, who in that darkest period of our history stepped forward with commitment, courage and wisdom to lead the democratic movement. She understood that all growing movements are inclusive in essence. One could not lead by dividing the nation. Power of the people lay in their unity. Leading from the front, she set out to collect the scattered workers of her party. She rekindled hope in their hearts. She made them believe that the flow of time and history was towards the future. Dictatorships and their tyranny could not last for ever. The journey towards democracy had to be restarted with unity in their ranks and faith in their hearts. PPP workers responded with a new determination. Her next step was to bring other parties together on a common platform of restoration of democracy. Many of these parties had been opposed to Bhutto Shaheed and had provided political support to the military dictator. Yet they were watching that in spite of the dirty maligning propaganda campaign against the PPP and its leadership, public support was with the PPP and Benazir Bhutto. For their own political survival, there was no option left for them but to join the common platform of the Movement for the Restoration of Democracy (MRD). Brave workers of the PPP led by their brave leader Benazir Bhutto gave immense sacrifices in the MRD movement. The MRD did not remove the dictator. But both within and outside the country dictatorship was crippled. Within the country the dictator was no longer feared by the people. Outside the country the movement had made it obvious that people of Pakistan wanted revival of their Constitution and Democracy. The very forces of Western imperialism which had brought and sustained military dictatorship for their own reasons started raising questions on whether it was possible to continue the old policies. The dictator was forced to call general elections to appease his foreign support. In an attempt to fortify his rule through the policy of dividing the nation on multiple fault lines of language, sect, biradri, tribe etc. as also to ward off the danger of a PPP victory, these sham elections were called on a non-party basis. Ground was already slipping from under the feet of dictatorship. The forces of Democracy were making new advances in the leadership of Benazir Bhutto. General elections had to be called in the country after the military dictator was killed in a plane crash. A great damage, however, had already been done by the dictator in the process of appeasing the West in the shape of recruiting non-state militants for the so-called Jihad against Russia. The next 10 years are conspicuous with the establishment resorting to continuous manipulations and conspiracies against the two elected governments of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and their ultimate dismissal by the president and bringing up the PML (N) as their own proxy in the government. This partnership arrangement being devoid of the support of the people had its own internal contradictions, with each of the two partners clamouring for more space in governance. The conflict between the two however did not stop the two PML (N) governments to institute false cases against the PPP leadership and throwing Mr. Zardari and other PPP leaders in jail. Statesmanship and commitment to democracy of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto is seen at a climax when she saved the PML (N) government from being dismissed by the president through directing her party’s elected members in the parliament to vote for the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, thus taking away the powers of the president to dismiss governments. The next step for strengthening democracy was taken by her when the door to floor crossing was shut with the PPP support to the passage of the 14th Amendment. Saving the PML (N) government on both these occasions by her had been unconditional. To her own party members she explained that the parliament had to be protected against the establishment because ‘democracy was our politics’. A power drunk PML (N) government refused to learn its lessons even after its narrow survival. Instead of creating a broad-based consensus for strengthening democracy, they continued with the policy of false cases against the opposition and throwing them in jails. Journalists writing against the government were similarly victimised. The Supreme Court was physically attacked. Two army chiefs were dismissed. The advent of the next military dictator Pervez Musharraf can be seen as nothing but the culmination of the internal growing conflict between the creator and the creation when any reconciliation between the two was no longer possible. However, after a brief term in jail and a court decision against them, the PML (N) leadership soon reached one more compromise with the establishment with the help and arbitration of a third country. They agreed to live abroad for a fixed period leaving a leaderless party behind them. Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, who was already leading her party from exile, took over the democratic struggle against the new dictatorship. Inside Pakistan she was in daily contact with her party leaders and directing them in their struggle. Abroad, she was continuously meeting opinion makers in other countries and giving lectures on the dangers of denial of democracy in Pakistan. She told her audience everywhere that to the existing dangers had now been added new threats from non-state actors in the shape of extremism and terrorism. These non-state actors enjoyed the overt and covert support of our establishment. She realised that it was necessary to bring PML (N) the other major party in the democratic camp for the revival of democracy in Pakistan. The time was ripe since the PML (N) had been stung by the ruling dictatorship. Leaving all grudges behind she moved forward to convince them on the need of reviving democracy in Pakistan. The Charter of Democracy which has resulted in the passage of 18th Amendment under the guidance of President Asif Ali Zardari after her martyrdom was signed between the two parties. Democracy and terrorism cannot coexist. Unfortunately, the denial of democracy for a long period had let her country slip in the expanding grip of terrorism and extremism. Very few understood but she was the one who successfully negotiated a return for PML (N) leadership and herself to Pakistan at great risk to her life to run election campaigns with their respective election manifestoes in order to make the elections meaningful and democracy sustainable in Pakistan. It was this day in 2007, when as the winter sun was setting at Rawalpindi, Benazir Bhutto rose from her vehicle for the last time to respond to the rousing slogans which the people were raising. They stood in all directions as far as one could see. These were people for whose political, economic and social rights she had fought all her life and given her all, for whom she had returned at great risk to her life: her people. For her this was a familiar sight but being amongst her people had always renewed her faith in the destiny and the bright future of her nation. Then suddenly she was no more. Someone said that she could have saved her life if she had not stood up in her vehicle. Perhaps not. These people were her people and she was Benazir Bhutto. A real champion of democracy.

SMU has plenty to play for when it closes the regular season against California on Saturday afternoon in Dallas. The Mustangs (10-1, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who checked in at No. 9 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday, would like to send their seniors off the right way. They would also like to complete a perfect regular season before appearing in the ACC title game in their first year in the conference. Most importantly, they want to continue to strengthen their playoff case. "You've got the College Football Playoff, so every game matters. That's what's so cool about it now. The regular season is important," SMU coach Rhett Lashlee said. "We'd like to finish well in everything we do, particularly on Saturday, to finish off the regular season, continue our momentum into the following week. Hopefully, continue to show the committee and others that we're worthy of continuing to play this year." The Mustangs are a worthy playoff team to date. Kevin Jennings has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the country, throwing for 2,521 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also has rushed for 315 yards and four TDs. Brashard Smith has been another standout, rushing for 1,089 yards and 13 TDs. Defensively, the Mustangs rank tied for 14th in the country with 20 takeaways. "Obviously they've had a phenomenal season," Cal coach Justin Wilcox said of SMU. "As soon as you turn the tape on, it doesn't take very long to see why their record is what it is. They're very, very good really in every phase of the game - extremely explosive and quick and fast. They've got a dominant D-line. We've got a lot of challenges in front of us and our guys are excited for that." Cal (6-5, 2-5) is coming off an emotional win, defeating rival Stanford 24-21 on Saturday to secure a bowl berth. The Golden Bears will appear in consecutive bowls for the first time since 2018-19 and are now looking to clinch their first winning season since 2019. SMU is not overlooking Cal, as all five of the Golden Bears' losses have come by one score. "You'd be hard-pressed to find a better 6-5 team in America," Lashlee said. "I think you can conservatively say they very, very easily could be 9-2." Cal is led by quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who has thrown for 3,004 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions. Tight end Jack Endries leads the team with 555 yards receiving, while wide receiver Nyziah Hunter has caught a team-leading five touchdowns. Defensively, Cal has the ACC's top scoring defense (20.7 points per game) and is tied with Clemson for the ACC's best turnover margin (plus-13). Defensive back Nohl Williams is the star of the group -- he leads the country with seven interceptions. Even though oddsmakers are heavily favoring SMU, Cal is going into the game with a simple mindset. "Our task at hand is to make the best bowl game right now," Mendoza said. "And the way to do that is to go into Dallas, give it our best and ruin SMU's season." Saturday will mark the first conference meeting between these ACC newcomers, and just the second meeting between the programs all time. SMU won a 13-6 game back in 1957. --Field Level MediaLast night's surprise Helldivers 2 update also added its first FOMO weapon: The stun baton is only in the rotating Superstore right nowSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy left the practice field soon after Thursday's session began. Purdy is dealing with a right shoulder injury that forced him to leave after throwing at the start of practice. There was no Nick Bosa, Trent Williams or Brock Purdy at the start of practice. Purdy, who is dealing with a right shoulder injury, was throwing at the very start of the session but left the field soon thereafter. More News: NFL Mock Draft Has the Dallas Cowboys Making a Desperate Reach for a Position of Need Purdy didn't throw a pass through the first four periods of practice on Wednesday but did do warmups and handoffs. The latest update indicates the 49ers could very well start backup Brandon Allen for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan heaped high praise for Purdy following last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Purdy has been a consistent force for the offense, despite players surrounding the quarterback failing to meet expectations. "It's hard to make a lot of progress the way he played last year," Shanahan said. "It's hard to make a lot of progress after the seven games he played in his first year. I think Brock's playing at the exact same level. It's different circumstances around him. Our team hasn't been quite as good through this. That's why we're 5-5. A couple of plays here and there and I think we're looking at this totally differently. I bet these next seven games come down to the fourth quarter. We either get it done or we don't." Nick Bosa and Trent Williams were also not at practice during the portion that's open to the media. Bosa told the media Wednesday that his oblique injury is making progress, but didn't reveal his status for Sunday. "It gets better every day," Bosa said. "Definitely a little early to call it either way." Williams is dealing with an ankle injury that he sustained ahead of the divisional matchup Seahawks. It is important to note that Shanahan said both Bosa and Williams will be a game-time decision. The 49ers are in a tough situation as the team hopes to keep their playoff hopes alive in the coming weeks. San Francisco may be short three key starters in Week 12, which certainly won't help the 49ers in getting back in the win column. San Francisco's fate in 2024 remains up to whether the team can put together four quality quarters of football, which thus far the 49ers have failed to do. The 49ers are currently last in the NFC West because San Francisco dropped three games to each of their opponents in the division. If the 49ers are without their quarterback and other starters like Williams and Bosa for their next game, San Francisco's playoff hopes will be even slimmer than before.
