Lakhimpur Kheri: SKM’s ‘rail roko’ protest today; train movement could be hit

Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella organization of multiple farmers’ unions, called on Monday for the railway roko agitation to call for the removal of Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni because his son is suspected of participating in the violence in Lakhimpur Kheri in the northern state. The six-hour national “Rail roko” agitation will start at 10 am and continue until 4 pm.
On October 3, in Tikunia village of Lakhimpur Kheri, as many as eight people were killed, including four farmers, after two SUVs knocked down a group of protesters. SKM claimed that Ashish Mishra, the son of the Union Minister, was sitting in a vehicle that ran over farmers. However, the minister denied the allegations and claimed that his son was not present at the time of the incident.

SKM said in a statement issued on Sunday: “It is clear that because Ajay Mishra is the MoS of the Ministry of the Interior of the coalition government, justice cannot be ensured in this matter.” “He promoted Hindus and Sikhs in his speech. The hatred, hostility, and community disharmony. It was his vehicle that was used to destroy peaceful protesters. Even if the police issued a subpoena to Ashish Mishra, he was harbouring his son and accomplices,” it added. .
The organization also assured that the riots will “go on peacefully and will not cause any kind of damage or damage to any railway property.” During the agitation, the movement of the train may also be affected.
Ashish Mishra was arrested by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) and sent to prison on October 9. But he still insisted that he was not in the car at the time of the incident.
The Lakhimpur Kheri violence provided the opposition party with ammunition against the Uttar Pradesh government. They claim that the Yogi Adityanath government led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying to protect criminals.
Opposition parties, including Congress, also criticized the state government for not removing the Union minister despite the arrest of his son.

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.”
