MVA allies get into huddle, say won’t ask Nawab Malik to quit

Ruling coalition partner Shiv Sena, Congress and the NCP feuded on Wednesday shortly after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Nawab Malik and unanimously decided to defend the minister of state. Despite Malik’s arrest, the Maharashtra state’s Vikas Agadi (MVA) government will not seek his resignation, they said.

The MVA also decided to stage nationwide protests against the BJP.

In the evening, NCP chairman Sharad Pawar held a meeting at his residence with senior party ministers, joined by senior Congress leaders, who expressed solidarity with Malik. A meeting was then held at the official residence of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in the presence of senior ministers from Pawar and the coalition government.

NCP senior minister Chhagan Bhujbal called Malik’s arrest unfortunate and said the MVA would stage protests from Thursday.

“We will all fight legally and also go to the people. As ministers, we will be protesting in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue near Mantralaya tomorrow at 10am. Also, starting Friday, we will be in all thalu across the state. Peaceful agitation and protests at the card, city and regional level,” Bhujbal told reporters after meeting Thackeray.

He was also accompanied by senior parliamentary minister Balasaheb Solat and Senna senior minister Subhash Desai.

Bhujbal said Malik would not be asked to resign as the allegations remain unproven, noting that the BJP did not accept Union Minister Narayan Rane’s resignation following his arrest for threatening to attack the prime minister.

“There will be no question of resignation. He has not been convicted. Narayan Rane was also arrested but his resignation was not accepted at the time. There cannot be an issue of resignation until he is proven guilty in court. In our view, he has not Wrong. We will not punish him by seeking to resign until he is found guilty,” Bhujbal said. “What happened with (former home secretary) Anil Deshmukh and (former forest minister) Sanjay Rathod will not happen now. We will not make the BJP happy about Malik’s resignation.”

In April last year, NCP leader Deshmukh offered to resign as home secretary after the Bombay High Court asked the CBI to investigate corruption allegations against him by former Mumbai police chief Param Bir Singh. In February last year, Shiv Sena leader Rathod resigned as forest minister after allegations that he was linked to Pooja Chavan’s death.

Government sources said the MVA had decided not to bow to political pressure and accept Malik’s resignation. “We all know this case was politically motivated and it has now been deliberately dug up. This is a BJP conspiracy to slander and overthrow the MVA government. This is a political fight and we will have a strong fight,” said senior Senna leader told the Indian Express.

Train smarter, not harder: How taking occasional breaks from gym can revolutionise your fitness routine

Taking regular breaks from intense training, like deload weeks, helps your body recover, preventing fatigue and injury, and ultimately boosts fitness gains.

When it comes to getting fit, the idea of spending hours at the gym might come to mind, but many fitness experts argue that taking a “deload week” every six to eight weeks is actually key to improving your fitness gains. A deload week involves reducing the intensity of workouts to allow the body to recover from the fatigue and muscle damage caused by intense training.

While high-intensity training helps build strength and fitness, it can also lead to muscle strain, and without adequate recovery, these gains can’t fully materialise. Deload weeks give the body much-needed rest to repair and rebuild, ensuring continued progress. (Also read: Bhagyashree swears by this super easy exercise for instant leg pain relief and better mobility.

Why recovery is key for muscle growth

According to an article by The Conversation, intense exercise can cause tiny tears in muscle fibres, leading to inflammation that requires rest or low-intensity exercise to heal. This inflammation is essential for muscle growth and fitness improvements. However, without proper recovery, muscles remain in a state of slight damage, preventing inflammation from resolving. This chronic state of inflammation can hinder muscle function, reducing oxygen efficiency and impairing performance. Giving muscles time to recover through rest ensures they repair properly and are primed for continued progress, setting us up for greater success in our fitness journey.

Many gymgoers fear taking time off and are worried it will lead to a loss of gains. However, research shows that muscle genes have a “memory imprint,” which keeps them in a semi-prepared state. This allows muscles to respond more quickly and effectively to future training, promoting growth after a rest period. Even after extended periods of reduced intensity, up to seven weeks, muscular fitness can be restored to prime condition—and in some cases, surpass previous levels. Interestingly, recovery can occur twice as fast as it took to reach peak fitness initially, even if some strength is lost.

Taking time off from intense training is crucial to prevent muscle soreness and avoid overtraining syndrome. Overtraining occurs when the body doesn’t get enough rest, leading to prolonged fatigue, decreased performance, and mood disturbances. Symptoms develop gradually, making overtraining difficult to recognize until it’s severe. Rest is essential to avoid these issues and ensure long-term progress in training.

Role of overtraining syndrome and deload weeks

Overtraining syndrome is challenging to quantify due to its vague symptoms. Studies suggest it may affect as few as 10% of elite athletes, though rates could climb to 60% among highly competitive individuals. Recovery is essential for both fitness and overall health. When engaging in heavy gym routines, it’s vital to incorporate sufficient recovery time into your workout plan. Unlike rest days, which involve little to no exercise once or twice a week, deload weeks feature lighter training at reduced intensity—typically about 50% fewer workouts or a 20% drop in workout intensity.

Both rest days and deload weeks are essential for recovery and crucial to improving fitness. It’s not about choosing one over the other—they complement each other. For instance, intense training for marathons, Ironman, or CrossFit competitions requires weekly rest days alongside scheduled deload weeks. However, for recreational gym-goers exercising 1–3 times weekly at a moderate intensity, the recovery from this routine is often sufficient without the need for additional deload weeks.

Fitness influencers recommend incorporating deload weeks into training schedules every 4–8 weeks, aligning closely with the expert advice of 4–6 weeks. However, it’s crucial to listen to your body and schedule deload weeks as needed. If your performance plateaus or worsens, it may signal time for a deload. Training plans should be flexible enough to allow rest when required. Deload weeks not only enhance performance but also support overall health.
