  • Police Complaint Filed Against PM Modi In Assam Over Mahatma Gandhi Remarks |

    A police complaint has been lodged by National Award-winning filmmaker Luit Kumar Barman against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his controversial remarks against Mahatma Gandhi, news agency PTI reported. Barman claimed that Modi had made a “highly derogatory statement” about the Father of the Nation in his complaint, which was submitted on Wednesday night to the Hatigaon police station in Guwahati. According to the police, no formal complaint has yet been filed in this regard, and a preliminary investigation is ongoing.

    In a recent interview, Prime Minister Modi said, “that Mahatma Gandhi was a great person all over the world. Wasn’t it our responsibility over the last 75 years to make sure the entire world knew about Mahatma Gandhi? I’m sorry to say that no one knows about him. When the film ‘Gandhi’ was first released, there was widespread interest in who this person was. We have not done this…”

    “This is a highly derogatory statement and cannot be accepted by a citizen of India,” Barman said in his complaint. “We cannot tolerate insults to Mahatma Gandhi as citizens. No movie is required to introduce him to the world,” said Barman, the producer of the Rajat Kamal-winning Assamese film “Boomba Ride” from 2021.

    “By comparing Mahatma Gandhi to a film, Narendra Modi has defamed both Gandhi and the people of India. I request that you take action against Narendra Modi under the relevant sections of the law,” Barman added.

    “No FIR had been filed and a preliminary investigation is underway,” PTI quoted Hatigaon Police Station Officer-in-Charge Bijay Duwara as saying.

  • Why is ‘All Eyes on Rafah’ trending and why is the US refusing to criticize Israel’s action? ,

    Israel has been making advances in Palestine’s Rafah. The Rafah region shot into the news once again on Tuesday after dozens of people died in a fresh attack, allegedly carried out by Israel. This happened two days after 45 people died in another airstrike, that Palestine claimed to be carried out by Israel. Israeli tanks were deployed in the Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood, which was hit by the airstrike on Sunday.

    “Despite our efforts to minimize civilian casualties during the strike, the fire that broke out was unexpected and unintended…Our investigation seeks to determine what may have caused such a large fire to ignite,” said IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari.

    The Israeli army had pushed into the heart of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip amid its military operations carried out in multiple places in the enclave. As per reports, the Israeli army had intensified its bombardment in Rafah on Tuesday morning, forcing a great number of Palestinians to flee to other places.

    However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu termed Monday’s strike as a tragic incident saying that the country will investigate it. Netanyahu, however, vowed to continue the war against Hamas despite international criticism.

    What Is All Eyes On Rafah?

    After 45 people died in civilian camps following airstrike by Israel, netizens and key personalities expressed their solidarity with Palestine by sharing a graphic image on which it was written ‘All Eyes On Rafah’. People prayed for the safety of civilians in Rafah through their social media posts and called for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

    Why did the US not call for ceasefire?

    The White House said that its policy related to the Israel-Hamas war won’t change following Rafah’s ‘airstrike’ mistake. Though the US said that it would seek answers from Israel. The US administration hinted that the Isarel has not crossed the ‘red line’ yet. The United States’ firm stance with Israel suggests that the Biden administration wants Hamas to surrender and return those in its captivity.

    Israel’s Advances in Rafah

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported on Tuesday that they conducted military operations in various locations across Gaza. In Jabalia, northern Gaza, the Israeli army killed Palestinian militants who attempted to fire at Israeli forces and destroyed several military targets, including underground tunnels, observation posts, and weapon depots. In central Gaza, the IDF carried out airstrikes on multiple targets, resulting in the deaths of several Palestinian militants.

    Gaza’s health authorities have said that the Palestinian death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip reached 36,096 and more than 81,000 people have been injured.

  • Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik Responds To PM Modi’s Health Concerns, Says ‘I’m Perfectly Fine’ |

    A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged to form a panel to probe the “sudden” deterioration of Naveen Patnaik’s health, the Odisha Chief Minister on Thursday said that he is “perfectly fine”. Biju Janta Dal (BJD) supremo dismissed the “concerns” expressed by PM Modi and said that he has been actively campaigning in the State for the last month. The Prime Minister on Wednesday claimed a “conspiracy” behind Patnaik’s failing health. PM Modi also said that a full majority government would be formed at the Centre for the third time in a row after a five-decade gap.

    In an interview with news agency ANI aired on Thursday, Patnaik said that if the PM was so concerned about his health, he would have called him and inquired about his health instead of stating it loudly at a public meeting.

    “If the Prime Minister was so concerned about my health, even recently, he said that I’m a good friend of his; all he needed was to pick up the telephone and inquire about my health instead of stating it loudly at a public meeting three times yesterday. My health is perfectly fine. As you can see, I’ve been campaigning for the last month all over the state,” the Odisha CM said.

    #WATCH | On PM Modi’s statement ‘if BJP comes to power in Odisha, a special committee will be formed to investigate Naveen Babu’s deteriorating health’, Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik says “All I have to say is that if PM Modi is so concerned about my health, all he needed was to pick… pic.twitter.com/OkmHdZ1Lrq

    “And instead of the Prime Minister just picking up the telephone and asking me about my health, he has stated it loudly at a public meeting. This means that all he’s trying to do is garner votes during election time,” he said.

    Addressing a poll rally in Baripada for the Mayurbhanj Lok Sabha segment, which goes to vote on June 1, PM Modi said there is a “conspiracy” behind Naveen Patnaik’s sudden deterioration of health and that he would form a committee to look into the Chief Minister’s medical history.
     
    Patnaik claimed that rumours about his health have been spread by BJP leaders for the past decade, and that he has no health issues.
     
    “This rumour has been spread by BJP members in Delhi for the past ten years, with little effect on me. And that is basically all I have to say about it. I have no health problems at all. I am in excellent health. I repeat: I’ve been campaigning for the last month in a very hot season, and I’m fine,” the BJD leader said.
     
    When asked about a viral video showing visible tremors in Patanik’s hand during an election rally, the Odisha chief minister responded, “It’s not a medical condition at all. A visiting BJP chief minister exaggerated the situation for no apparent reason.

  • Know about Vivekananda Rock Memorial, where PM Modi will meditate…

    Kanyakumari: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a 48-hour meditation session at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu on Thursday. The PM will begin his meditation session at Dhyan Mandapam, the place where Swami Vivekananda meditated in 1892. The rock memorial was built to pay tribute to the Hindu philosopher-saint.

    Before the results of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi had undertaken a similar spiritual journey in Uttarakhand. At that time, he was also photographed meditating in a holy cave near Kedarnath.

    Why Vivekananda Rock Memorial?

    During the 125th anniversary of Sri Ramakrishna Math in Mylapore, Chennai, PM Modi had said that the philosophy of his government is inspired by Swami Vivekananda.

    He said, “Our governance philosophy is also inspired by Swami Vivekananda. Whenever privileges are broken, and equality is ensured, society progresses. Today, you can see the same approach in all our flagship programmes.” He said, “Earlier, even basic amenities were treated like a privilege. Many people were deprived of the benefits of progress. Only a select few or small groups were allowed to avail it. But now the doors of development have been opened for all.”

    A BJP leader said, “Meditating at the same place shows Prime Minister Modi’s commitment to realising Swamiji’s dream of a developed India. He is giving a signal of national unity by going to Kanyakumari.”

    Two thousand policemen will be deployed

    Around 2,000 policemen have been deployed in the area during PM Modi’s stay. The PM is expected to stay in Kanyakumari from Thursday evening till June 1. The Indian Coast Guard and the Indian Navy have been asked to keep a strict vigil.

    What is Vivekananda Rock Memorial

    Located close to the monolithic statue of Tamil saint Tiruvalluvar on the banks of Kanyakumari, this rock has been considered a sacred place since ancient times. It was built by the Vivekananda Rock Memorial Committee to commemorate Swami Vivekananda’s visit to “Sripada Parai” for meditation and enlightenment on 24, 25 and 26 December 1892.

  • US AI Expert Launches AI-Powered Heart Rate Sensor | Internet & Social Media News

    Teja Reddy Gatla, AI expert came up with a novel device to monitor Heart Variability and Stress Analysis using Artificial Intelligence. The device is innovatively crafted as a flexible strap, allowing wearers to comfortably fit it on their arms, legs, or any part of the body where blood vessels are readily accessible for sensor detection. 

    Its adjustable nature ensures it can conform to various body parts, optimizing the capture of physiological data. In discussions over exhibition, Teja stated that AI is playing a significant role in research of intelligent sensors to give rise to the next generation of wearables for health care. The core functionality of the device hinges on its sophisticated sensors, which gather data for subsequent analysis. 

    Artificial intelligence forms the backbone of this technology, enabling precise and insightful interpretation of the physiological signals collected. The design of the device is the result of a meticulous integration of multiple technologies, aiming for accurate, near real-time measurements of physiological indicators.
     
    A key component of this device is the Electrodermal Activity (EDA) sensors. These sensors are adept at detecting changes in skin conductance, indicative of sympathetic nervous system activity. Such changes, imperceptible to the human eye, can reveal significant insights into an individual’s stress levels and emotional responses. This allows users to adopt a comprehensive approach to managing their physiological state.

    Although SpO2 sensors, which monitor blood oxygen levels, may not provide as much diagnostic value as lung scanners, they play a vital role in assessing respiratory function and blood oxygenation. Regular monitoring of oxygenation levels can serve as an early warning for health issues potentially related to physiological stress. Consequently, SpO2 measurements become a critical component of effective stress management strategies. These sensors offer immediate insights into a patient’s respiratory status, enabling timely intervention to prevent severe complications.

  • T20 WC 2024: Threat of ‘lone wolf’ attack on IND vs PAK match, ISIS openly gave this threat…

    T20 WC 2024: Terrorist organization ISIS has threatened to attack the match between India and Pakistan. An alert has been issued in New York regarding this.

    T20 WC 2024: The T20 World Cup starting from June 1 has been announced. All the teams are reaching America. Warm up matches have started. Team India is also busy practicing. Everyone is waiting for June 9, because on this day a big match is to be played between India and Pakistan at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. However, there is a terrorist shadow on this match. An organization associated with ISIS has threatened a lone wolf attack, due to which a high alert has been issued.

    The threat of a ‘lone wolf’ attack given by an organization linked to ISIS has been confirmed by New York’s Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder. According to Ryder, a terrorist organization linked to ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) has made a threatening video viral, in which it has warned of an attack during the match between India and Pakistan. In that video, independent attackers have been urged to take action. Lone wolf attacks include drone attacks.

    Who is Lone Wolf?

    The ‘lone wolf’ attacks that have been mentioned are members of terrorist organisations who work independently at the behest of the organisation, which is why it is difficult to track them. Commissioner Rider said that when we have a match of such a big scale and such a large crowd, then such threats are credible. We have increased security arrangements. More policemen will be deployed on the day of the match.

    Threat of drone attacks

    Patrick Ryder said, ‘We will pay attention to every minute detail when it comes to the safety and security of the residents here. This threat includes potential drone attacks, for which officials have requested the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to declare Eisenhower Park a no-fly zone for drones.

    What exactly is a ‘lone wolf’ attack?

    The lone wolf attack that is being feared on the India-Pakistan match is a kind of suicide attack. In this, the attackers either kill themselves or a single person carries out the entire incident. The purpose of this attack is to harm as many people as possible.

    New York Governor Kathy Hochul gave this assurance

    New York Governor Kathy Hochul is strict about the threat of terrorist attack. She has assured strict security arrangements. She has instructed the New York State Police to remain alert and implement the tightest security arrangements. The city is being monitored and screened. She said that my administration has been working with federal law enforcement agencies and Nassau County for months to ensure that New Yorkers and visitors coming here remain safe.
