(File photo) NEW DELHI: The ministry of home affairs (MHA) designated 23 Pakistan-based individuals linked to terror organisations, including Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), as terrorists under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), according to a series of gazette notifications issued on Friday.The Centre exercised its powers under Section 35 of the UAPA, which allows the government to add individuals to the Fourth Schedule of the Act if it believes they are involved in terrorism.Among those designated are Masood Ilyas Kashmiri, Mohammad Mussadiq, Mufti Muhammad Asghar Khan, Hafiz Abdul Shakoor, Abdullah Jehadi, Firdous Ahmad Bhat, Ghulam Fareed, Bilal Ahmad Mir, Abid Quyoom Lone, Nazir Ahmed Gujjar, Abdul Rauf, Ashfaq Ahmad, Hafiz Khalid Waleed, Maulana Saifullah Khalid, Mohammad Yaqoob, Molana Yousaf Taibi, Owais Farooz, Qari Yaqub Sheikh, Rana Iftikhar, Waseem Noor Jat, Mohammed Shaheed Faisal, Maulana Imdad Ullah Makki and Haroon Rashid Ganai.One of the notifications identified Masood Ilyas Kashmiri, also known by multiple aliases, as a senior functionary of Jaish-e-Mohammed, a terrorist organisation already listed under the First Schedule of the UAPA.According to the notification, Masood Ilyas Kashmiri is based in Rawalkot in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) and has been involved in recruiting youth for JeM, imparting terrorist training and facilitating the infiltration of terrorists into India.The MHA also said he was involved in the April 22, 2022, terror attack on security forces at Sunjwan in Jammu and has been linked to several other terror attacks that caused deaths and injuries.The notification stated that the Central Government believes Masood Ilyas Kashmiri is involved in terrorism and has therefore added his name to the Fourth Schedule of the UAPA.The remaining 22 individuals were designated through separate notifications issued under the same provisions of the Act. According to the government, all are based in Pakistan and are linked to banned terrorist organisations, including JeM and LeT.The designation under the UAPA formally notifies these individuals as terrorists under Indian law and enables authorities to take legal and investigative action against their assets, networks and activities linked to terrorism.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Gold and silver offerings were allegedly packed into sacks and transported via trains to Karnataka for melting, completely bypassing local jewellers in Ayodhya, Faizabad, or Lucknow. Handlers deliberately manipulated transportation logs. For example, transporting 26kg of gold while carrying an official voucher for only 25kg. If intercepted, the voucher covered the bulk, and if undetected, the extra gold was immediately pocketed. While the temple’s heavy precious metals were sent by rail, the masterminds travelled via commercial and chartered flights.The investigation also alleged misappropriation of material donations.A consignment consisting of two truckloads of winter jackets, sent by a donor in Mumbai for low-income temple staff, was allegedly hijacked. Only 40 jackets reached the workers; the remaining bulk of the shipment was reportedly diverted to the private residence of a senior trust member and illegally sold into the commercial market.To ensure the racket continued without interference, the “syndicate actively isolated and blinded key members of the trust”.The whistleblower claimed that communication channels were intentionally cut to keep SC-appointed trustees, including Mahant Dinendra Das, in the dark.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Sonam Sir has said that he will continue his hunger strike until the government takes action against Dharmendra Pradhan,” he added.In the video, Dipke also urged people to come to Jantar Mantar and stand in solidarity with Wangchuk.”I also have a request for everyone watching this video. Please come to Jantar Mantar. Even if we cannot do much, we can at least stand in solidarity with Sonam Sir. He is risking his life for the students, and the least we can do is support him by being there with him at Jantar Mantar,” Dipke said.The protest entered its 14th day after receiving support over the last week from several political leaders and civil society members, including CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby, senior CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat, CPI general secretary D Raja, CPI(ML) Liberation general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, social activist Yogendra Yadav, Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan, CPI leader Annie Raja, transparency activist Anjali Bhardwaj, RTI activist Nikhil Dey and TMC MP Sagarika Ghose.The CJP protest began on June 20 over alleged irregularities in the examination system, including NEET. The protesters continue to demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.Dipke has said the agitation would also raise other accountability-related issues, including electoral matters such as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls.Six students associated with the Left-affiliated All India Students’ Association (AISA) also continued their indefinite hunger strike from a separate stage at the protest site.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas on why American dream is not over: America’s the only country where you can come… AI-generated representative image NEW DELHI: NITI Aayog on Thursday unveiled an ambitious roadmap to help Ayurveda gain global recognition as a healthcare system by 2047, proposing a global practitioner registry, internationally accepted quality standards and insurance-backed treatment to move beyond its current image as a wellness product. The roadmap comes even as many Ayurvedic formulations continue to be sold as dietary supplements rather than recognised medicines in major global markets.Released by NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Dr. Ashok Kumar Lahiri in the presence of Member (Health) Prof (Dr) M Srinivas, CEO Nidhi Chhibber and Ayush Secretary Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha, the report, Strategic Roadmap for Making Ayurveda Global, says India must move beyond exporting herbs and wellness products to building a globally trusted healthcare system backed by stronger research, regulation and international acceptance.The report notes that exports of Ayush and herbal products nearly doubled from USD 1.09 billion in 2014 to USD 2.16 billion in 2023, with Ayurveda products reaching around 150 countries. Yet regulatory barriers continue to keep many Ayurvedic formulations out of mainstream healthcare systems in developed markets, where they are largely sold as dietary supplements instead of approved medicines.While Ayurveda has gained varying degrees of recognition in nearly 30 countries and research is underway in almost 70 countries, India has yet to build a sizable global workforce. The report says the country has over 3.55 lakh trained Ayurveda practitioners, but nearly 95% of them are based in India because of the absence of internationally accepted licensing systems and limited professional mobility.To address these gaps, the roadmap recommends creating a Global Ayurveda Register with internationally verifiable credentials, a single-window portal carrying country-specific licensing requirements and visa information, and mutual recognition agreements with partner countries to enable qualified Indian practitioners to work overseas.To improve global acceptance, the report calls for expanding international clinical trials through WHO collaborating centres, creating real-world patient registries, publishing annual global evidence and safety reports, promoting research in emerging areas such as Ayurgenomics, upgrading domestic manufacturing to WHO-GMP standards, and publishing an export edition of the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia aligned with international regulatory requirements.The roadmap also proposes shifting India’s strategy from exporting raw herbs to high-value formulations, healthcare services and medical expertise. It recommends overseas Ayurveda centres, stronger regulatory support for exporters through Ayush Export Promotion Council, a real-time trade dashboard, and treatment hubs linked to Ayush visas and insurance-backed medical value travel.Drawing lessons from the global expansion of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the report calls for coordinated action across research, regulation, diplomacy, education and trade, besides setting up a high-level Mission Steering Group to steer implementation through 2047.Get the latest India news and live updates.

The initiative offers fully government-funded support to help researchers protect their intellectual property and translate research outcomes into healthcare products and technologies for public benefit.The Commission said the initiative aligns with its objective of promoting research, innovation and excellence in medical education, adding that wider participation by medical colleges would strengthen India’s healthcare innovation ecosystem.Besides patent filing, Patent Mitra also supports technology transfer, helping innovators move discoveries from laboratories to commercial development and public use. The NMC has asked colleges to actively publicise the initiative among faculty members, clinicians, researchers and students to encourage greater participation.The advisory said details of the initiative are available on the Patent Mitra portal and asked institutions to contact ICMR for assistance related to the programme.Get the latest India news and live updates.

They can’t see what’s happening around them.”Targeting Dharmendra Pradhan, she said, “His birthday cake can’t be baked with the blood of our children. Don’t let them label you, your only label is ‘Hindustani’. Don’t give up. Stay true to the cause. Jai Hind.”The remark appeared to be a sarcastic response to Union education minister’s birthday celebrations on June 26, as students continued protesting for his resignation over alleged paper leaks and his description of the protesters as the “B team of terrorists.”‘Blood in his hands’: DipkeDipke, while criticising Pradhan’s remark, wrote, “Dharmendra Pradhan calls us terrorists. But the irony is that he is the one with the blood of more than 17 students on his hands.””Sir, we are not terrorists. We don’t need a certificate of patriotism from people like you who are responsible for the deaths of innocent students,” he added further.Political leaders and actors extend supportThe CJP protest has drawn support from political leaders and members of the film industry. Earlier, on July 1, TMC leader Sagarika Ghose joined the protesters at Jantar Mantar. In a post on X, she said, “The arrogant failed @narendramodi government is STILL refusing to listen to the people and has lost all public legitimacy.”Even as major opposition parties stopped short of backing the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), Aam Aadmi Party’s Arvind Kejriwal and Uddhav Thackeray of Shiv Sena (UBT) expressed support for the movement.Bollywood actors Prakash Raj and Atul Kulkarni have also backed the protest against alleged irregularities in India’s education and examination system. Sharing a message for the young demonstrators, Kulkarni wrote, “May you reshape this country with integrity and compassion. My heartfelt good wishes to you all.”The protest, which has continued for the past two weeks, has drawn support from activists, students and political leaders. Wangchuk has maintained that he will continue his hunger strike until action is taken on his demands.As of now, there has been no official response from the Centre regarding Wangchuk’s hunger strike demanding accountability in education sector.Get the latest India news and live updates.
