‘Leader after leader leaving; serious concern’: Congress G-23 leaders call for introspection

Senior leader Ashwani Kumar’s withdrawal from Congress once again underscored simmering tensions within the party. While the party remained silent, the leader of the party’s “G-23” bloc said his exit showed that nothing was going well in the party.

Senior party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said the withdrawal of “leader by leader” from the party was “a matter of serious concern”.

Deputy Upper House leader Azad and Lok Sabha MP Manish Tewari said it was time for the party to conduct serious and sincere introspection. All three signed an August 2020 letter from 23 senior leaders, or G23, to Congress President Sonia Gandhi calling for sweeping changes to the party.

Several leaders, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they would not be surprised if the party faced an implosion after March 10 if the parliamentary election turned out to be against the party.

“One leader after another is leaving the party and it’s a very worrying issue. (Ashwani) Kumar, I think he’s the fourth or fifth in addition to the large number of leaders and workers across the country The ex-union minister who left,” Azad told The Indian Express.

Azad, a member of the Parliamentary Works Committee and a former opposition leader in the upper house of Lords, said it showed that it would take a lot of introspection in Congress to find the reasons for these withdrawals. It would be incorrect to say that these leaders are acting at the behest of any individual or (any) party. There must be some unease in the party that makes even the hard-core congressional leaders uncomfortable. “

Bhupinder Singh Hooda, a former Haryana chief minister and another G23 leader, tweeted: “Sad and unfortunate news that Sh Ashwani Kumar is leaving Congress. He is an old friend and belongs to a free Fighter’s family.”

Twari told The Indian Express: “Mr Ashwani Kumar and I worked together in the government of Dr Manmohan Singh. He and I had civilizational differences on some issues. But even a Small workers who leave the party also need to introspect.”

“Sad to see a valued colleague Ashwani Kumar resign from Congress. Sadly a man who served the party for four years has left. A matter of collective concern,” Sharma tweeted. road.

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.
