The crushing defeat of Jan Suraj Party in Bihar Assembly elections has given sleepless nights to Prashant Kishore. Prashant Kishore himself admitted that this result is a big shock for him. He said that he has not slept properly since the election results came out because Jan Suraj performed far less than expected. PK said that to be honest, I have not been able to sleep properly after the results came, but you are not defeated until you accept defeat.

Prashant Kishore, who entered politics as an election strategist, said that his politics is beyond any electoral victory or defeat. He said that if we want to change Bihar, we cannot retreat after losing one election. This is a long fight and I will continue it with full force.

PK had fielded candidates on 238 seats in Bihar.

In Bihar elections 2025, Jan Suraj had contested the elections on a large scale for the first time. However, the party could not win even a single seat. The vote share of the candidates was very low on many seats. Jansuraj got more support than expected in rural areas, but it could not be translated into victory. Prashant Kishore has said these things in an interview given to NDTV.

Jan Suraj Party candidate

Jan Suraj Party had fielded its candidates on 228 seats out of 243. Earlier there was discussion that Prashant Kishor himself can contest the elections. It was being said that either he will contest elections from Karhagar seat or he will contest against Tejashwi Yadav. However, he decided not to contest the elections. Jansuraj got about 16.74 lakh votes in Bihar. However, his party could not win any seat. If we talk about vote percentage, Jansuraj got a total of 3.34 percent support, which is not considered small for a new party. He clearly said that he does not consider not getting votes as a crime. He said that he never took help of caste or religion in elections and will not do so in future also. He also made it clear that he is not going to leave Bihar and the work of Jan Suraj will continue.

Gangster Anmol Bishnoi, considered the main conspirator of the murder of former minister and NCP leader Baba Siddiqui, will be brought to India on Wednesday (19 November 2025). Senior officials have confirmed that after being deported by the US authorities, he will be brought to Delhi’s IGI Airport at 10 am.

Police team will be deployed at Delhi airport

According to officials, several teams of Delhi Police will be deployed at the airport to complete security, paperwork and legal processes. A senior officer said, “Discussion is going on in Delhi Police Headquarters as to which agency will formally arrest him and take further custody. The decision will be taken only after he is produced in the court.”

According to investigators, there are more than 32 criminal cases registered against Anmol Bishnoi across the country, out of which 20 cases are in Rajasthan. These cases are related to serious crimes like ransom, kidnapping, attempt to murder and target killing. Officials said that the central government will decide which agency’s custody he will be sent to first.

Zeeshan Siddiqui’s reaction

Baba Siddiqui’s son Zeeshan Siddiqui received an email from the US authorities on Tuesday (18 November 2025), which said, “Anmol Bishnoi was deported from the US.” Zeeshan said, “I don’t know where he is at the moment, but they have told that he has been removed from America and the further process will take place in India.”

According to sources, Mumbai Police Crime Branch had sent official applications to Anmol twice for deportation and custody. Recently, Interpol had also asked for documents related to his identity, which were provided by Mumbai Police. Anmol Bishnoi is also wanted in the case of firing outside the house of actor Salman Khan in Bandra on 14 April 2024. He had claimed responsibility for this attack online.

Mastermind of Baba Siddiqui’s murder

Anmol Bishnoi was revealed as the main conspirator behind the murder of Baba Siddiqui on 12 October 2024. During investigation, the police found voice clips from the arrested shooters which matched Anmol’s voice, in which he was heard giving instructions and instigating the attackers. Investigation revealed that Anmol had fled India several years ago using a fake passport and kept roaming in Canada, America and Kenya.

Anmol Bishnoi was detained in California last year, but was released due to procedural flaws. Information has also come to light that he has a Russian passport, which is suspected to be fake. He is also believed to be linked to the international conspiracy to murder Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.

NIA had declared a reward of Rs 10 lakh on his arrest. NIA has also filed a charge sheet against him in two cases related to the gang’s international activities. After the completion of the deportation process by the American authorities, Indian agencies are now preparing for a joint operation at IGI Airport.

After the Delhi blasts, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that India has the right to protect its people against terrorism. Speaking at the SCO meeting in Moscow, the External Affairs Minister said, “We should never forget that the SCO was established to deal with the three evils of terrorism, separatism and extremism. These threats have become more serious over the years. It is imperative that the world shows zero tolerance towards terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.”

India has every right to respond: Jaishankar

Foreign Minister Jaishankar bluntly said that India will respond strongly by continuing its action against terrorism. He advocated changes in the functioning of SCO. Referring to terrorism, he said, “There can be no justification, no condonation and no cover-up. As India has shown, we have the right to defend our people against terrorism and we will exercise it.”

‘There should be a change in the functioning of SCO’

He said, “India believes that the SCO should adapt to the changing global scenario, develop a comprehensive agenda and improve its functioning. We will make a positive and full contribution to these objectives.” External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar reached Moscow on Monday (17 November 2025) to participate in the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Addressing the SCO leaders, External Affairs Minister Jaishankar reiterated New Delhi’s long-standing call for united action against terrorism without any compromise. He said the fight against this threat should remain a shared priority. S Jaishankar’s statement has come to light after the recent terrorist blast in Delhi.

Bilateral talks with Russian Foreign Minister

As soon as he reached Moscow, S Jaishankar met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. According to the report of Russia’s government news agency TASS, bilateral cooperation as well as regional and global developments related to Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), BRICS, United Nations and G-20 were discussed between the two leaders.

Investigating agencies have got a big clue in the Delhi car blast case. According to the information, Jaish-e-Mohammed operative Abu Ukasa had completely radicalized Umar Un Nabi, the mastermind of this attack. In the year 2022, Umar went to Turkey, where he met Abu Ukasa and during this time he was prepared for a major attack in India.

According to the agencies, Jaish-e-Mohammed did not want the strings of this attack to be seen to be directly linked to Pakistan, hence the entire operation was being operated remotely from Turkey. Abu Ukasa constantly gave instructions to Umar and kept pushing him towards radical anti-India ideology.

‘There is no country like Pakistan’- Omar

Sources said that Umar was so radicalized that he used to say that no Muslim is good except the Muslims of Kashmir and that non-Muslims and Muslims of the entire country should be eliminated. Umar also used to say that there is no country like Pakistan. Everyone should go to Pakistan, Muslims are respected only in Pakistan in the whole world, hence apart from Pakistan, other countries are not good in the whole world.

Umar was in contact with Abu Ukasa

Mohammad Umar, who drove the Hyundai i20 car used in the Delhi car blast, was in direct contact with Jaish-e-Mohammed operative Abu Ukasa (code name) in Turkey’s capital Ankara. Ukasa was the handler of both Umar and Dr. Muzammil Shakeel and he was controlling the entire operation from outside. To avoid suspicion of the agencies, Dr. Muzammil confessed that he had traveled to Turkey in the year 2022 only to meet his handler Ukasa. At the same time, in Ankara itself, both Omar and Muzammil were influenced by fundamentalist ideology and were instigated to attack in India.

who is abu ukasah

Abu Ukasa is the active commander of Jaish-e-Mohammed and is among the very close relatives of Masood Azhar. Initially, the conversation with the handler was done on WhatsApp, but to avoid security agencies, later the communication session was shifted to the app so that the chat could neither be traced nor leaked.

Delhi Blast Case: Accused doctors made big revelations during interrogation, revealed many secrets including use of Signal App, purchase of i-20 car

The investigating agencies have found another important evidence in the Delhi car blast case. A new video of Dr. Omar, the main accused in the blast and a terrorist resident of Jammu and Kashmir, has surfaced. This video has made the whole case more serious, because in it Umar is seen directly advocating suicide bombing.

According to sources, this video was recorded by Omar himself before the blast. The investigation team believes that this video reflects Omar’s thinking, plans and radical ideology. This also indicates that he was preparing for such an attack for a long time.

What did Omar say in the video?

In the video, Omar says, “The biggest mistake is that people do not understand what suicide bombing (or suicide bombing) actually means. It is not democratic in any way, nor can it be accepted in any civilized society. There are many contradictions and many arguments against it.”

Omar further says, “The biggest issue with suicide attacks is that when a person believes that he is definitely going to die at a certain time and place, he enters into a dangerous mindset. He puts himself in a situation where he believes that death is his only destination.”

He further said, “But the reality is that such thinking or such situation cannot be accepted in any democratic and humane system, because it is against the basic principles of life, society and law.”

What did Umar’s mother tell the investigation team?

During interrogation in the investigation, Umar’s mother revealed that she had suspected for a long time that her son was inclined towards fundamentalist thinking. He did not remain in contact with his family for many days. Some time before the blast, he had clearly told his family not to call him. Despite this, the family never informed the police about this changing behavior of Umar.

Umar was a resident of Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir.

Investigation had revealed that Umar, who was killed in the Delhi blast, was a resident of Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir. He was a doctor by profession, but was secretly actively associated with a module of Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Before the blast, the police had arrested many members of his gang. About 2900 kg of explosives were recovered from their possession, which clearly shows that this gang was preparing for major attacks.

Bangladesh’s former PM Sheikh Hasina has been found guilty and sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT). Sheikh Hasina has described this decision as one-sided and politically motivated. The former PM of Bangladesh said, ‘This decision was given without hearing my side. This decision has been given by a tribunal which is being run by an unelected government. He has no mandate from the public. This is completely wrong.

Bangladesh court found Sheikh Hasina guilty

Sheikh Hasina, who has been living in India since the fall of her government on August 5 last year, has been sentenced by the International Criminal Tribunal-Bangladesh (ICT-BD). Earlier the court had declared him a fugitive. Reading out the verdict in court, the tribunal said the prosecution had proved beyond any doubt that Hasina was behind the deadly crackdown on student-led protests between July 15 and August 15 last year.

I was not given a chance to present my side: Sheikh Hasina

A report by the United Nations Human Rights Office estimated that 1,400 people were killed during the nearly month-long movement known as the ‘July Uprising’. Sheikh Hasina said, ‘This decision was decided earlier. I was neither given a chance to present my side nor to be represented by my lawyer. There is nothing international in ICT.

Sheikh Hasina claimed that the tribunal had only prosecuted Awami League members, while ignoring violence allegedly perpetrated by political opponents. Former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan was also sentenced to death, while a former police officer was sentenced to five years in prison after turning approver.

Sheikh Hasina’s allegations against Yunus government

Former PM Hasina said that no respectable or legal person in the world will support Bangladesh ICT. He argued that this court was being used to remove the last elected Prime Minister of Bangladesh and eliminate the Awami League as a political force. He further alleged that Yunus’ forces launched retaliatory attacks across the country and looted hundreds of homes, businesses and properties of Awami League leaders and workers.

Bangladesh court has convicted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of firing on unarmed civilians and crimes against humanity. The court has sentenced him to death. The court found that Sheikh Hasina had ordered the use of lethal weapons and drones to suppress and kill the protesters. Due to this serious crime he has been sentenced to death. The court also said in its decision that crimes against humanity were committed on the orders of Sheikh Hasina and her associates.

The court said in its decision that under the first charge, Sheikh Hasina did not fulfill the responsibility of handling the situation and stopping the violence. The evidence also revealed that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) could be guilty in this case. The court told that after July 19, continuous meetings were held at the Home Minister’s residence, in which instructions were given to suppress the student movement. Sheikh Hasina ordered a core committee to target the protesters, while Awami League supporters actively harassed the protesters. During interrogation by the IGP, he admitted his involvement in the alleged acts.

The court presented a total of 54 witnesses

The court heard the statements of a total of 54 witnesses and said that this number is sufficient. Evidence received from across the country and additional evidence from various sources were also examined. Also, the report of the United Nations agency was studied and it was concluded that crimes against humanity were committed on the orders of Sheikh Hasina and the Home Minister.

What did the Chief Justice of ICT say during the hearing?

ICT Chief Justice said during the hearing that Sheikh Hasina had given orders to kill the protesting students and other citizens. The court said that in a phone conversation with the Vice Chancellor of Dhaka University, Hasina gave instructions for violent action and insulted the students, which further incited the protests.

The tribunal made it clear that Hasina’s statements were derogatory and inciting violence. He deliberately planned to take people’s lives through his orders. The court also has records of the conversation between Hasina and the vice-chancellor of the university, which confirm her orders.
