PM Modi in Kedarnath today, to unveil 12-feet tall statue of Guru Shankaracharya

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Kedarnath in Uttarakhand on Friday, where he plans to inaugurate the rebuilt samadhi sthal of Shri Adi Shankaracharya and lay the cornerstones for the reconstruction project. Prime Minister Modi will also unveil a magnificent 12-foot statue of Guru Shankaracharya, the eighth-century seer who acquired Moksha at Kedarnath.

According to officials, the statue weighs 35 tons and was made of chlorite schist, a sculptor based in Mysore, which is a kind of rock that can withstand rain, sunlight and harsh weather. The original statue of Adi Guru Shankaracharya samadhi was washed away in the 2013 flood. It was built by excavating land behind the Kedarnath Temple and in the middle of the Samadhi area. The unveiling ceremony of the statue will be broadcast live in 12 jyotirlingas, four Shankaracharya mutts (monasteries), his birthplace and several famous temples across the country. “We will all welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM Modi will arrive here in the morning.

He will do Maha Rudra Abhishek and pray for the well-being of the country. He will also unveil the statue of Adi Shankaracharya,” Bagish Ling said . The priest of the Kedarnath Temple. After the statue is unveiled, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation for the Kedarpuri reconstruction project worth more than Rs 4 crore. He will also initiate other important infrastructure projects, including Saraswati retaining wall Aasthapath and Ghats, Mandakini retaining wall Aasthapath, Tirth Purohit Houses and the Garud Chatti bridge over the Mandakini river.

According to reports, the Kedarpuri construction project is one of Prime Minister Modi’s dream projects. Over time, he has personally inspected the construction work on a regular basis. Earlier, Uttarakhand Tourism Minister Satpal Maharaj stated that the reconstruction of Kedarnath would be impossible without PM Modi’s vision. “We will welcome him here soon. He will also start the second phase of the project in Kedarnath,” he said.

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.
