Omicron scare from Delhi to Mumbai: Curbs put in place by states

The Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, was dissatisfied with the lack of opportunity to speak at a virtual meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. According to PTI News Agency, this development has caused pain for the entire state government.

Prime Minister Modi participated in the second meeting of the “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav” National Committee, and other chief ministers also attended the meeting. Banerjee expressed his dissatisfaction with not having the opportunity to speak at the virtual meeting.

The sister publication of the Hindustan Times, Livehindustan, quoted a National Secretariat official as saying that Banerjee’s name was not on the list of speakers.

This is not the first time Banerjee has accused the center of not giving her a chance to speak. A similar incident occurred in May of this year, when the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister met to review the situation of the Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) and the preparations of government agencies.

At the time, Banerjee had stated that she felt “insulted.” The Chief Minister once said that instead of sending officials to attend the meeting, she attended the meeting in person and urged the central government to provide the Covid-19 vaccine. According to a government statement, it led to the emergence of a “new world order” in the post-Covid era.

He emphasized that now is a good time to look forward to the country’s 100th anniversary of independence in 2047. He said that by then, the contemporary people will be at the helm, and the country’s destiny will be in their hands.

“So it is important to decide what we must instill in them now so that they can make a significant contribution to the country in the future,” the prime minister said. He added: “We have always insisted and strived for our rights, but fulfilling our duties is greater.” Prime Minister Modi said that only when people perform their duties religiously can they automatically ensure the rights of others.

At the meeting, Govind Mohan, Secretary of the Ministry of Culture, introduced an overview of the activities held by Azadi Ka Amrit Mahocsav to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India’s independence.

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.
