Nayab Singh Saini sworn in as Haryana CM for 2nd time

Haryana CM-designate Nayab Singh Saini offered prayers at Valmiki Temple in Panchkula ahead of his oath-taking ceremony.

Nayab Singh Saini was sworn in on Thursday as Haryana’s chief minister in a grand ceremony in Panchkula, attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah, and other key BJP leaders. Saini, a prominent OBC leader, assumed the role for the second time, having replaced Manohar Lal Khattar earlier this year.

The event coincided with Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti, and Saini, prior to the swearing-in, offered prayers at Valmiki Temple in Panchkula.

Around 50,000 people witnessed the ceremony, with massive security arrangements and 14 LED screens set up for the public. Opposition leaders, farmers, ‘Lakhpati Didis’, and representatives from various social organisations were also invited.

This swearing-in will be followed by a meeting of chief ministers and deputy CMs from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), to discuss national development issues and the 50th anniversary of the Emergency. The conclave marks a critical gathering of the ruling coalition as it strategises for the upcoming Maharashtra and Jharkhand elections.

All you need to know about the swearing-in ceremony and NDA CMs meeting:

  1. Nayab Singh Saini took oath as the chief minister of Haryana for the second time in a high-profile ceremony in Panchkula. Saini’s return as Haryana CM comes after his successful leadership in the recent state elections, following his earlier appointment in March this year, replacing Manohar Lal Khattar.
  2. Anil Vij, a Punjabi-Khatri MLA from Ambala Cantt, and Krishan Lal Panwar, a Scheduled Caste MLA from Israna in Panipat district, were among the BJP MLAs who took oath as council of ministers in the Haryana government.
  3. Other MLAs inducted into Saini’s cabinet include Rao Narbir Singh, an Ahir and backward class (B category) MLA from Badshahpur in Gurugram district, Mahipal Dhanda, a Jat MLA from Panipat (rural), and Vipul Goel, a Vaish community MLA from Faridabad.
  4. As per Article 164 (1A) of the Constitution, there can be a maximum of 13 ministers, including the chief minister, in the Haryana council of ministers.
  5. On the day of his swearing-in, Saini offered prayers at the Valmiki Temple in Panchkula in honour of Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti. This gesture holds symbolic importance after the opposition built up an anti-reservation narrative against the BJP during the Lok Sabha elections. “It is a matter of good fortune for me that today is the birth anniversary of Lord Valmiki. He worked to end the evils prevalent in the society and gave a message to the society. Today it is my good fortune that I have got the opportunity to worship at the feet of Lord Valmiki. I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the people of the state on his birth anniversary,” Saini said.
  6. The routes around Shalimar Ground in Sector 5, Panchkula, will remain closed to the public till 3 pm. These include Bella Vista/Shaheed Major Sandeep Sankhla Chowk (left side), Hafed Chowk, Sector 4-5 light point, Tawa Chowk/Shaheed Udham Singh Chowk, Sector 9-10 light point, Sector 8-9 light point, and Shakti Bhawan Chowk/Geeta Chowk.
  7. Immediately following the oath ceremony, a high-level meeting of chief ministers and deputy CMs from the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will take place in Chandigarh. The meeting will be attended by 13 chief ministers and 16 deputy CMs from BJP and its alliance partners. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio will lead key discussions.
  8. The NDA CMs conclave will deliberate on development issues such as the ongoing observance of the ‘Samvidhan Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ and reflect on the “Year of 50th anniversary of the attempt to murder democracy” – a reference to the Emergency. These discussions are expected to shape the party’s narrative and policy directions ahead of upcoming elections.
  9. The NDA meeting is seen as a platform to consolidate strategies and project a united front against opposition alliances, with a focus on states where elections will be held next month.
  10. The Chandigarh administration declared the city a “no-flying zone” for drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from October 16 to October 18. The ban will not apply to law enforcement agencies, including police, paramilitary forces, the air force, SPG personnel or any individuals authorised by the competent government authority.

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.
