Come forward and… Amidst the dispute with India, Canadian Police made this request to the Sikhs of the country.


The controversy that started with the murder of Khalistani Nijjar is not ending. After the deterioration in relations between India and Canada, now the head of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) of Canada has made an appeal to the members of the Sikh community of the country. The officer has requested him to help in the investigation. They say they are investigating allegations of violent activity on Canadian soil involving murder, extortion and threats involving the Indian government and need the help of the Sikh community.

“If people come forward, we can help them, and I appeal to them to come forward if they can,” Police Commissioner Mike Duhem said in an interview with Radio-Canada. “People need to feel safe in Canada.” “And our job as a law enforcement agency is to make sure that they live in an environment that is safe to live in.”

During a press conference earlier this week, Duhem had alleged that Indian diplomats have links to criminal gangs in Canada, including the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. RCMP have charged eight people with murder and 22 others with extortion in connection with these investigations. However, Canada has not been able to present any evidence against India in the case of Nijjar's murder.

Canada has repeatedly alleged that agents of the Indian government were involved in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June 2022. India has recently rejected Canada's allegations calling them absurd. India has denied these allegations and called it part of Justin Trudeau's vote bank politics. As tensions escalated, both countries have instructed each other's diplomats to leave the country.

Will marital rape become a crime Supreme Court will start hearing on the historic case from 17 October


Marital Rape Case: The Supreme Court on Thursday (October 17) will begin hearing petitions related to the question of whether a man should continue to get legal protection if he forces his wife to have sex with him. A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra said on Wednesday that it will start hearing the petitions on October 17.

This hearing assumes significance in view of the Centre's opposition to the petition seeking to criminalize marital rape.

Under the exception clause of section 375 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which has now been repealed and replaced by the Indian Code of Justice (BNS), sexual intercourse by a husband with his wife, if the wife is not a minor Yes, it is not rape. Even under the new law, Exception 2 to Section 63 (rape) states that “sexual intercourse by a husband with his wife, if the wife is not under 18 years of age, is not rape.” ''

Supreme Court had issued notice to the Center

On January 16, 2023, the Supreme Court had sought response from the Center on petitions challenging the provision of the IPC, which provides protection from prosecution to the husband for forced sexual intercourse when the wife has attained majority. On May 17, the court had issued a notice to the Center on a similar petition challenging the provision of BNS on this issue. According to the Centre, this case has legal and social implications.

One of these cases is an appeal filed by a woman after the Delhi High Court's divided decision on this issue on May 11, 2022. While delivering the judgement, Justice Rajiv Shakdhar and Justice C Hari Shankar had agreed to allow the petitioners to appeal to the Supreme Court as the case involves important questions of law which need to be decided by the Supreme Court.

Shakib Al Hasan Set For Test Farewell At Home, Included In Bangladesh Squad For 1st Test





Shakib Al Hasan is set for his last appearance in Test cricket in front of the home crowd as the venerable all-rounder was named in Bangladesh’s squad for the first match against South Africa, starting on Monday. Before the second and final Test against India at Kanpur, Shakib had expressed his wish to play his final Test at home against South Africa, provided the Bangladesh Cricket Board was able to ensure his safety. Khaled Ahmed is the only omission from the squad that recently toured India. Shakib has been accused of being involved in the murder of a student but the Bangladesh veteran was taking part in a T20 league in Canada at the time of the incident.

However, Faruque Ahmed, the new president of the BCB had rejected Shakib’s request saying the board was not a security agency and could not guarantee any cover for him.

The sports advisor to Bangladesh’s interim government Asif Mahmud said that Shakib would be provided security once his political stance was clear.

Shakib in return had issued an unconditional apology for his silence during the civil unrest in Bangladesh, which saw the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“Firstly, I would like to pay my respects to all the students who sacrificed their lives, led the anti-discrimination movement, and were martyred or injured during the people’s uprising,” Shakib wrote on his official Facebook page.

“While no sacrifice can compensate for the loss of a loved one, nothing can fill the void of losing a child or a brother, to those of you who were hurt by my silence during this critical period, I respect your feelings and sincerely apologise.” He also passed on a message to the Bangladesh fans.

“You all know that I will soon be playing my last match… I want to say goodbye with all of you around. At the moment of farewell, I want to shake hands with those whose applause compelled me to play better,” he wrote.

“I want to meet the eyes of those who cheered in joy when I played well and whose eyes welled up with tears when I did not. I believe that at this farewell moment, you will all be with me. Together, we will close the story that, in truth, stars not me, but all of you,” Shakib added.

Bangladesh will depart for the UAE following the two-Test series against South Africa to take on Afghanistan in a three-match series.

Since Shakib is also a part of the ODI side, the squad’s departure would also ensure his exit from the country.

Bangladesh squad for 1st Test: Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Shadman Islam, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Zakir Hasan, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das (wk), Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Nahid Rana.

Hema Malini Ran Away From Set: Hema Malini is celebrating her birthday today. On this occasion, we are telling a special incident related to the actress when Hema Malini silently disappeared from the set after hearing a demand from an actor. The story is from the time when the casting of the film 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', released in 1978, was taking place.

People liked the chemistry of Shashi Kapoor and Zeenat Aman in the film 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' made under the direction of Raj Kapoor. But do you know that these two stars were not Raj Kapoor's first choice for this film. When Raj Kapoor thought of making the film 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram', he thought of Rajesh Khanna as the lead actor and the first name that came to his mind as an actress was Hema Malini.

Dream Girl was surprised to hear about the character and costume
Raj Kapoor sent an offer to Hema Malini for the film and called her for the screen test the very next day. But Raj Kapoor said something to her that Hema left the film without saying anything. When Hema Malini went to the set for the screen test, Raj Kapoor told her about the film's character Rupa. But when the actor gave her details about the costume, Hema Malini was surprised.

Hema Malini was not ready to play Rupa in the film
Actually, Rupa's character in 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' was a bit open according to that era. In such a situation, Hema Malini did not want to do this role but she also did not want to directly say no to Raj Kapoor. Hema Malina did not say anything to Raj Kapoor and the actor asked her to come wearing the costume of Rupa's role.

Hema Malini had disappeared from the dressing room
Hema Malini went to the dressing room on the request of the director but did not wear the costume. She quietly left the studio without telling anyone. Here Raj Kapoor kept waiting for him. When Hema did not come after a long time, they understood that the actress was not ready for this role.

The story of the bald head, the blind and the leper


The angel then said, 'You seem to know me. Aren't you that poor leper? Allah later gave you a lot of wealth.'

He said, 'Hey! I got these assets as an inheritance from my father and grandfather.'

The angel then said, “If you have lied, then may God take you back to your former state.”

Now the angel in his former appearance came to the bald-headed man and spoke to him like that man, and he also replied like the first man. Then he said, “If you are a liar, then may Allah restore you to your former condition.”

Then the angel came to the blind man in his former form and said, 'I am a destitute, a traveler. All my travel supplies are exhausted. It is impossible for me to reach home today without Allah and your help. In the name of Allah who restored your sight, I ask you for a goat so that I can reach home after my journey.' Hearing this, the man said, 'Yes, I was blind, Allah restored my sight. You take goats as you wish and leave as you wish. God's oath! I will not stop you from what you take today in the name of Allah.' Then the angel said, Leave your wealth. All three of you are tested. Allah is pleased with you and displeased with the other two of you.

Canadian Sikh MP demands ban on Indian diplomats, journalists make fun of him


Canadian Sikh leader Jagmeet Singh, a former aide to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, called for sanctions on Indian diplomats amid an escalating diplomatic row with India. When he said this, the journalists present there made fun of him. “We need to impose strict sanctions on Indian diplomats,” said Jagmeet Singh, a pro-Khalistan leader and leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP).

Before ending the press conference, he said, “The Modi government must be held accountable and we all need to be united as Canadian leaders. We must all be united to condemn PM Modi. We must ensure that “We must protect Canadians by putting their safety first.”

After this, when Jagmeet Singh was coming out of the room, a conversation started between the journalists. One of the reporters mocked him, saying, “That doesn't happen.” After this all the journalists present there started laughing.

Jagmeet Singh had last month supported Trudeau's Liberal government, accusing the Canadian Prime Minister of not fulfilling his promises. He has frequently attended rallies of Khalistani extremists, who advocate a separate Sikh state. Earlier, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie had indicated that the Trudeau government may impose sanctions on Indian diplomats.

The ongoing diplomatic dispute between India and Canada took a sharp turn on Monday. India said Trudeau's hostility towards India has been long evident and his continued support to violent extremists and terrorists to harass, threaten and intimidate Indian diplomats in Canada. Both India and Canada have recalled six of their diplomats.

Relations between India and Canada hit a snag in September last year when Trudeau alleged the involvement of Indian government agents in Nijjar's murder on Canadian soil.

Canadian Sikhs remain in fear

Jagmeet Singh claimed that Canadian Sikhs are facing fear, threats and harassment from Indian diplomats. He called for a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh network (RSS) in Canada. He said, “We support India's decision to expel its diplomats. We call on the Government of Canada to once again impose diplomatic sanctions against India, ban the RSS in Canada and those participating in organized criminal activity on Canadian soil.” “Calls for any person committed to face the most serious consequences.”
