Punjab all-party meet seeks BSF order recall, Mamata says let states be

At the all-party meeting held in Punjab on Monday, in addition to the People’s Party, a resolution was unanimously passed, rejecting the center’s notice to strengthen the jurisdiction of BSF in border states and stating that if the government does not withdraw this measure, Punjab will take Legislative approach.

Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, speaking to the media after the meeting he convened, said that the state will write to the center to withdraw the notice extending BSF’s search, seizure and arrest jurisdiction to 50 kilometers from the border-from the current 15 kilometers- -In Punjab, West Bengal and Assam.

Channi said that he and Deputy CM Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa have written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this issue, but have not received a response. “If the center does not do this, we will hold a special Vidhan Sabha meeting to cancel the notice,” Channi said, adding that they are ready to appeal to the Supreme Court. He said that the state did not encounter any problems in the border area and needed to take such action.

In a speech to the media at a meeting in Siliguri, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also stated that she had written to the Prime Minister against “attempts to interfere in the country’s federal structure”.

She added: “Earlier, their jurisdiction reached 15 kilometers and there were shootings in Balurghat or Cooch Behar. Event. Now they have extended it to 50 kilometers. This is an attempt to interfere in the federal structure. We have a very friendly relationship [with neighboring countries]. There is no need to create such chaos. Law and order are the main body of the state. .” Channi said that all political parties in Punjab are in agreement on this matter.

Although the main opposition parties AAP and Akali Dal participated in the party meeting, the BJP did not. The BSF justified the expansion of jurisdiction on the grounds of uniformity, and earlier stated that it differed from state to state. In Punjab, the new BSF jurisdiction covers most of the towns on the Amritsar-Jalandhar highway in the Majha region. The Golden Temple in Amritsar’s city centre is less than 32 km from the zero line.

The Punjab Congress Chairman Navjot Singh Sidhu, who attended the All-Party Conference, accused the Centre of misusing Central agencies. “The national border can be 5 kilometers, 7 kilometers, how to enter the state 50 kilometers?” he said.

Who is Harun Abdul-Malik Yener? Florida man arrested over bomb threat to New York Stock Exchange

FBI arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener for allegedly planning a bombing at the NYSE to “reset” the US government.

Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a South Florida resident, has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly plotting to bomb the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as part of a plan to “reset” or “reboot” the U.S. government. According to unsealed court documents, Yener faces charges of attempting to use an improvised explosive device (IED) against a “building used in interstate or foreign commerce.”

The investigation into Yener began in February when the FBI received a tip about his possession of bomb-making plans stored in a locked Coral Springs storage unit. Upon executing a search warrant, agents discovered “bomb-making sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards, and other electronics” that could be used to construct explosives, per the criminal complaint.

Court documents reveal that Yener was not only active on YouTube, posting videos on making explosives and fireworks, but also had a history of making threats.

Harun Abdul-Malik Yener wanted to ‘reset’ US government

Back in March, Yener admitted to undercover federal agents that he had experience in creating “rockets” and “bombs” and had previously sought to join a “domestic extremist group.” He also revealed that in 2015, he had considered travelling to Iraq to join ISIS but ultimately decided against it, doubting the group’s ability to accomplish “their objectives.”

Yener also attempted to join extremist groups such as the Boogaloo Bois and the Proud Boys but was reportedly denied membership due to his stated desire to “pursue martyrdom.”

Yener allegedly shared his plot to attack the NYSE with an undercover FBI agent, identifying November 18 as his intended date for the bombing. He wanted to “reboot” or “reset” US government through the “bombing”.

“There is one place that would be hella easy… the stock exchange, that would be a great hit. Tons of people would support it. They would see it and think, dude, this guy makes sense, they are [profanity] robbing us. So that’s perfect,” he told the undercover agent.

On November 12, Yener reportedly made several audio recordings he planned to send to NBC News following the attack. He expressed his vision of the explosion as being comparable to a nuclear event, saying, “I feel like Bin Laden.” He allegedly added that the detonation would ensure “[a]nything outside” the building “will be wiped out” and “anything inside there would be killed.”

Following his arrest, Yener made his first court appearance and remains in custody as he awaits trial.
