BJP panel rejig: Chaudhary Birender Singh, Varun Gandhi out after criticising farm laws

In addition to high-level officials including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Minister of Defense Rajnat Singh, and Federal Minister of the Interior Amit Shah, the state administration also includes party veterans LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi as a member.

On Thursday, the People’s Party formed a new National Executive Committee consisting of 80 members, and removed at least two prominent leaders-Party Member Valen Gandhi and former Federal Minister Chowdhury Billund Sim Grid, both of them are critical of the new agricultural law. In addition to high-level officials including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Minister of Defense Rajnat Singh, and Federal Minister of the Interior Amit Shah, the state administration also includes party veterans LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi as a member. Birender Singh expressed support to excited farmers, and Varun Gandhi has written to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath requesting that a murder be registered In the case, these people were involved in the death of four farmers in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident. Gandhi’s mother and former Federal Minister Maneka Gandhi were also removed from the new committee.

On Thursday, party member Gandhi from Pilibhit posted a video from Lakhimpur Kheri on Twitter-three SUVs rushing to a group of protesting farmers-and called for “responsibility for the innocent blood of farmers.” “The video is very clear. Murder cannot be used to silence the protesters. The innocent peasants must be held responsible for the bloodshed, and justice must be done before arrogant and cruel messages enter the minds of every peasant,” Gandhi wrote on Twitter.

Gandhi had earlier sought relief measures for farmers protesting against the three new laws, and he also opposed some BJP leaders linking the protesters to Khalistanis. In addition to the 80 full members, the executive committee will have 50 special invitations and 179 permanent invitations. The 179 permanent invitees include the chief minister of the People’s Party, the chairman and secretary-general of state units, and other state officials. By the way, 37 of the 80 committee members are federal ministers, in addition to some ministers from states ruled by the People’s Party.

This leaves less room for members who do not have any administrative positions to become part of the BJP’s deliberative mechanism.

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.
