Why did al-Qaida linked terrorist group abduct Indians in Mali? Relative shares chilling account
The family of P Venkataraman , a resident of Odisha's Ganjam district and one of the three Indians kidnapped by an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group in Mali, has said that the abductors are demanding ransom. Speaking to ANI on Saturday, Venkataraman's brother-in-law said, 'Venkat last called me on June 30. He worked at a cement factory in Mali, West Africa. He said the company had restricted their movement because terrorists were nearby. This kidnapping happened on July 1.' Initially, the family was informed that Venkataraman was in police custody following a fire at the factory allegedly set by terrorists. However, they later learned that he had been abducted. 'We got a call from the company saying he and some others were in police custody because terrorists had set the factory on fire. But then international news reports claimed that al-Qaeda had kidnapped people. When we called the company to confirm, they asked us not to leak the information and said the terrorists were demanding ransom,' the brother-in-law said. He added, 'We waited for a few days and then approached the police. I also called and emailed the embassy but got no response. I demand that my brother-in-law be brought back home safely.' Live Events Confirming the incident, Sub-Collector Shibashish Baral told ANI, 'Information about the abduction was reported by the family, and the local administration immediately reached out to them. The government has been informed and is taking necessary steps.' The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has expressed grave concern over the abduction of the three Indian workers from a factory in Mali's Kayes region. In a statement on Wednesday, the MEA urged Malian authorities to ensure their "safe and expeditious" rescue. 'It has come to the knowledge of the Government of India that many military and government installations at multiple locations in western and central Mali were attacked by terrorists on July 1,' the MEA said. The assault also targeted the Diamond Cement Factory in Kayes, where the Indian nationals were employed. Calling the act 'deplorable,' the MEA condemned the incident and reiterated India's strong opposition to violence against its citizens abroad. It said the Indian embassy in Bamako is in 'close and constant communication' with Malian authorities, law enforcement, and the management of the Diamond Cement Factory, as well as with the families of the abducted individuals.

Former Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has asserted that his country had no objection to extraditing terrorists like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar to India as a "confidence-building measure". However, Bilawal's remark did not go down well with Hafiz Saeed's son, Talha Saeed, who claimed that his comments brought disgrace to Pakistan an interview to Qatar-based Al Jazeera on Friday, Bilawal said Pakistan was ready to extradite "individuals of concern" to India provided New Delhi showed what he called "willingness" to cooperate in the process. He made the remarks while responding to a question about extraditing Hafiz Saeed, the chief of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as possible concessions and good-faith gestures to part of a comprehensive dialogue with Pakistan, where terrorism is one of the issues that we discuss, I am sure Pakistan would not be opposed to any of these things," Bilawal, the chairman of the Pakistan People's Party, said. Both LeT and JeM have been banned by Pakistan, according to the National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta). While Hafiz Saeed, the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind, is currently serving a 33-year sentence for terror financing, Masood Azhar, a UN-designated global terrorist, has been proscribed by Azhar, one of India's most-wanted terrorists, has been linked to several major attacks in India, including the 2001 Parliament attack, the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the 2016 Pathankot airbase assault, and the 2019 Pulwama suicide bombing. He was released from Indian custody in 1999 as part of the Indian Airlines Flight 814 Kandahar hijacking hostage despite Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar being proscribed, such terrorists continue to roam freely within Pakistan and operate their outfits with impunity, and with the backing of the Pakistani military that note, Bilawal said that the cases prosecuted against these "individuals" were those related to Pakistan, such as terrorist financing. He asserted that prosecuting Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar for cross-border terrorism was difficult due to what he claimed was "noncompliance" from India."India is refusing to comply with certain basic elements that require that conviction to take place. It's important to present evidence within these courts, for people to come over from India to testify, to put up with whatever the counter-accusations will be," he claimed."If India is willing to be cooperative in that process, I am sure there will be no hurdle in extraditing any individual of concern," he to whine about India, Bilawal said that New Delhi's vow to pursue terrorists was a "new abnormal". "This does not serve the interests of Pakistan and it does not serve the interests of India," he on the whereabouts of Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar, Bilawal stated that the LeT chief was incarcerated, while Islamabad believes the JeM chief is in is factually not correct that Hafiz Saeed is a free man. He is in the custody of the Pakistani state," he claimed, while adding that Pakistan had been unable to arrest Masood Azhar."It is our belief that he is in Afghanistan. If and when the Indian government shares information that he is on Pakistani soil, we will be more than happy to arrest him," Bilawal SAEED HITS BACKResponding angrily to Bilawal's remark, Talha Saeed, the son of Hafiz Saeed, said the PPP leader shouldn't have given such a statement. He claimed that his remarks on extraditing Hafiz Saeed to India brought disgrace to Pakistan in the Saeed, who is also a designated global terrorist, said his family and others had vehemently opposed extraditing Hafiz Saeed to India.- Ends(with inputs from PTI)

Birkenstock Cracks Down On Fakes In India, Agra Factories Raided: Report
Last Updated: The company's internal investigation reportedly found that fake versions of its popular sandals were being manufactured in rural areas near the tourist hub of Agra German footwear brand Birkenstock has launched a legal crackdown in India against suspected counterfeit sandals, leading court-appointed officials to inspect and raid several small factories, mostly around the city of Agra. The action comes after an infringement lawsuit filed by Birkenstock in May, according to people familiar with the matter told Reuters. The company's internal investigation reportedly found that fake versions of its popular sandals were being manufactured in rural areas near the tourist hub of Agra, home to the Taj Mahal, and sold both within India and overseas. The Delhi High Court is currently hearing the case. On May 26, Judge Saurabh Banerjee issued a confidential order, recently made public, appointing 10 local lawyers as court commissioners to carry out surprise inspections. These officials were given the authority to 'seize, pack and seal" products that allegedly copied Birkenstock's branding. The court order also included photographs of the suspected fake sandals and packaging submitted by the company. According to three sources familiar with the case, the raids have now been completed in Agra and New Delhi, and confidential reports have been submitted to the judge. The next hearing is scheduled for 6 October. Birkenstock, which did not comment on the case, is being represented by the Delhi-based law firm Lall & Sethi. The lawyers also declined to speak publicly, citing ongoing legal proceedings. In his order, the judge stated that the alleged fakes 'seem like a cheap knock off" and could easily mislead customers. 'The differences, hardly if any, are not something which can be discerned by the naked eye," he said. Birkenstock sandals, once associated with counterculture and worn by medical professionals and tech workers, gained renewed popularity after Margot Robbie wore a pink pair in the final scene of the 2023 film Barbie. In India, the brand's footwear ranges from $46 to $233. (With inputs from Reuters)
