Bricks Thrown at NIA Team’s Car in Bengal’s East Midnapore During Attack

1. The NIA team attacked in Bhupatinagar, West Bengal.
2. Bricks hurled at the car, damaging the windscreen.
3. No reported injuries; incident occurred around 5:30 am.

Kolkata, April 06: A team from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) encountered an attack in Bhupatinagar, East Midnapore district of West Bengal, on Saturday morning while investigating a blast case from 2022 at the residence of a Trinamool Congress leader.

Reports suggest that bricks were thrown at the NIA team’s car, damaging the windscreen, although there have been no reported injuries. The incident occurred around 5:30 am.

The blast on December 3, 2022, resulted in the destruction of a house with a thatched roof in Bhupatinagar, claiming three lives.

Last month, the NIA summoned eight Trinamool Congress leaders for questioning regarding the blast, leading to accusations from the TMC that the BJP was behind the NIA’s actions.

The eight leaders had been directed to appear before the NIA officers after failing to respond to a previous summons to visit the NIA office in New Town on March 28.

TMC leader Kunal Ghosh alleged that the BJP had influenced the NIA, claiming that the agency had received a list of TMC leaders from the Purba Medinipur district from the BJP, with intentions to arrest them.

This incident comes just two months after an attack on a team of Enforcement Directorate officials who were conducting a raid at the residence of Shahjahan Sheikh, a suspended local TMC leader linked to arrested state food minister Jyoti Priya Mallick.

The raid was in connection with a multi-crore ration distribution scam in West Bengal. During the raid, the ED officials and accompanying CRPF personnel were attacked, resulting in three ED officers being hospitalized.

The mob reportedly attempted to prevent the ED officers from taking action, throwing stones at their vehicles. CRPF personnel had to resort to baton charging to control the situation.

Rajnath Singh’s Response to Pakistan Killings Report: “We’ll Go There and Kill Them”

1. Rajnath Singh vows to pursue terrorists disrupting peace, even if they flee to Pakistan.
2. Singh’s response follows The Guardian’s report on alleged Indian involvement in targeted killings in Pakistan.
3. India’s Defence Minister maintains a firm stance against threats.

New Delhi, April 06: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh asserted on Friday that the Indian government will not tolerate terrorists who seek to disrupt the nation’s peace, affirming that they would be pursued even if they flee to Pakistan.

Singh’s statement was prompted by a report in The Guardian alleging India’s involvement in targeted killings within Pakistan.

“If any terrorist attempts to disrupt our nation’s peace, we will respond appropriately. Even if they escape to Pakistan, we will enter Pakistan and eliminate them,” Singh stated in an interview with CNN-News18. “The Prime Minister’s assertion is entirely accurate. India possesses such strength, and Pakistan is beginning to realize this,” he added.

Singh’s remarks coincide with India’s dismissal of The Guardian’s report, which cited unnamed intelligence sources from both India and Pakistan.

The Defence Minister also emphasized India’s commitment to maintaining positive relations with all neighboring countries, emphasizing that India has never instigated aggression against any nation.

“India has never initiated aggression against any country or sought to seize its territory. However, if anyone threatens India or its peace, they will face consequences,” Singh affirmed.

Earlier in the day, the Ministry of External Affairs rebuffed The Guardian’s allegations, denouncing them as “baseless and malicious anti-India propaganda.”

The government reiterated a prior statement from External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, who clarified that targeted killings in other nations were not endorsed by India’s government.

According to The Guardian’s report, documents shared by Pakistani investigators suggested that India’s intelligence agency, RAW (Research and Analysis Wing), conducted 20 targeted killings abroad in response to an emboldened national security strategy following the 2019 Pulwama terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 40 Indian soldiers.

The state BJP unit president has been summoned to respond by 10 am on April 8.

According to the CPI(M), the BJP distributed application forms for a socio-economic survey, promising to expand the ‘Orunodoi’ scheme, thereby breaching the MCC.

Sikkim 2024 Elections: 12 Female Candidates Contesting

1. 2024 Sikkim elections: 12 women candidates out of 146 despite 50% female voters.
2. Voting scheduled for April 19; 4.66 lakh voters, 2.31 lakh women.
3. The state has 32 Assembly seats, a lone Lok Sabha constituency.

Gangtok, April 05: In the upcoming Sikkim Assembly elections and the lone Lok Sabha seat, only 12 women candidates are among the 146 nominees, despite women comprising nearly 50 percent of the voters in the state.

Sikkim, with 32 Assembly seats and a single Lok Sabha constituency, will hold voting on April 19, with a total of 4.66 lakh voters, of which 2.31 lakh are women.

In the outgoing Sikkim Legislative Assembly (SLA), there were only three women MLAs, indicating a significant underrepresentation of women in state politics.

The ruling Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM) has fielded four women candidates, including Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang’s wife Krishna Kumar Rai, marking a slight increase compared to the previous elections.

Other parties like the Citizen Action Party (CAP-Sikkim), BJP, and the Congress have also nominated women candidates, albeit in smaller numbers.

Surprisingly, the leading opposition party, Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF), has not fielded any women candidates this time, a departure from its previous strategy.

In the lone Lok Sabha constituency, a woman named Bina Rai is contesting as an independent candidate, reminiscent of Dil Kumari Bhandari, who last represented Sikkim in Lok Sabha from 1991 to 1996.
