Arvind Kejriwal says he deserves Nobel prize for governance and administration

India Today10-07-2025
India Today reports on the arrest of Pir Baba Jalaluddin alias Changur Baba in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly running a Rs 100 crore forced religious conversion racket. The UP Anti-Terrorist Squad has uncovered a network that lured and manipulated Hindu and Sikh women to convert to Islam, with different rates fixed for converting girls from different castes. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called the accused an 'anti-national' and 'executioner'. The Enforcement Directorate and National Investigation Agency are now probing suspected foreign funding links. Victims have shared accounts of being trapped through false identities and then blackmailed. The case has reignited debates on 'love jihad' and forced conversions in India. In another incident, an Indian Air Force Jaguar deep penetration strike aircraft crashed near Churu in Rajasthan, killing both the pilot and co-pilot. This marks the third Jaguar crash in 2025, following incidents in Ambala and Jamnagar earlier this year. The aircraft had taken off from Suratgarh base for a routine training mission. The IAF has ordered a court of inquiry to investigate the cause. Experts discuss potential reasons for the crash, including bird hits, technical failures, or controlled flight into terrain. The incident raises questions about the aging Jaguar fleet, which has been in service since 1979 and is slated for phaseout between 2028-2032.

Trump praises ‘registered' Republican Sydney Sweeney's jeans ad, bashes ‘woke' Taylor Swift

US President Donald Trump criticised carmaker Jaguar and pop star Taylor Swift in a new post on his social media platform Truth Social, while praising actress Sydney Sweeney for her recent advertisement with American Eagle. In the post, President Trump said Sydney Sweeney, who is a registered Republican, has 'the hottest ad out there' and that the American Eagle jeans she promoted are 'flying off the shelves.' He encouraged people to support her by saying, 'Go get 'em Sydney!' Trump then criticised Jaguar for what he described as a 'woke' advertisement, which he said had damaged the brand. He claimed the company is now in 'absolute turmoil' and noted that the CEO had resigned. 'Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking that disgraceful ad?' he wrote. He compared Jaguar's situation to that of Bud Light, saying the beer brand was hurt financially after launching a campaign that he viewed as too progressive. 'The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with billions of dollars lost,' Trump said, according to AP. The President also claimed he destroyed Swift's popularity when he posted to Truth Social in May that the megastar was 'no longer hot.' 'Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her,' he wrote. The post reflects President Trump's ongoing criticism of brands and public figures he sees as aligning with liberal causes, AP noted.
