Hans Zimmer Brings In Reference Of Mahatma Gandhi To Fight Trump's ICE Raids: 'Demonstrate Non-Violence'
Zimmer in an Instagram post brought in the reference of Mahatma Gandhi and urged the protestors to demonstrate non-violence and peaceful protest. Hans Zimmer, a two-time Oscar-winning composer, on Thursday accused US President Donald Trump of planting violent protesters in peaceful protests to escalate the situation. Zimmer in an Instagram post brought in the reference of Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest apostle of peace in the world, and urged the protestors to demonstrate non-violence and peaceful protest despite the President trying to hamper the situation. Taking to Instagram, the German film composer wrote, 'I fear the Trump administration will plant violent protesters among our peaceful protests. They will use this as an excuse to use force against us." He further elaborated on what protestors can do to continue with their peaceful demonstration. 'The moment violence or property damage begins, EVERY OTHER PROTESTER must immediately sit on the floor or the ground in silence, with signs down. The media needs to film this. This will reveal paid fake thugs posing as protesters becoming violent. The sitting down must spread like a 'wave" in a football stadium throughout the crowd of protesters." 'Local police officers will immediately see WHO is doing the damage, and the rest of us will demonstrate our non-violent innocence and retain our Constitutional right to peaceful protest," he added The film composer then used hashtags mentioning Mahatma Gandhi and passive resistance. Protests In Across US Los Angeles on Thursday entered seventh day of protests that have been largely peaceful but occasionally punctuated by violence. The protests broke out last Friday in response to a series of immigration raids. Trump, in turn, called in the National Guard on Saturday, then summoned the Marines on Monday. 'If I didn't act quickly on that, Los Angeles would be burning to the ground right now," said Trump at an event at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Similar protests have popped up across the US, including in New York, Seattle, Chicago, Austin, Las Vegas and Washington, DC. The mayor of Spokane, Washington, announced a state of emergency and a curfew after protesters blocked roads to protest the Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity.

Bengaluru stampede: Karnataka High Court orders release of RCB's Nikhil Sosale and others
In a major set back to the police and the State government, the High Court of Karnataka on June 12 ordered the release of four representatives of Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited (RCSPL) and DNA Networks Pvt. Ltd., who were arrested on the wee hours of June 6 in connection with the June 4 stampede outside M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru during the celebration of RCB's victory in IPL-2025 tournment. Justice S.R. Krishna Kumar passed the order while allowing the petitions filed by Nikhil Sosale, Head (Marketing and Revenue), RCSPL; Sunil Mathew, Director, and Kiran Kumar, Event Manager of DNA; and Shamant N.P. Mavinakere, a freelancer service provider for DNA. RCSPL is the owner of RCB cricket team and DNA is the event management firm for RCSPL. The Court has ordered their release on bail by imposing conditions. Copy of the order is yet to be released. 'Arrested on CM's orders' It was argued on behalf of the petitioners that they were arrested based solely on 'the orders of the Chief Minister [Siddaramaiah] to arrest the officials of RCB and others' and without conducting any investigation and collecting any material to point out that the petitioners were responsible for the stampede, which resulted in the death of 11 persons. They had also contended that they were arrested by the police, who had no jurisdiction either to investigate the cases registered in connection with the stampede or to arrest them. Meanwhile, the State government had defended their arrest claiming that the police adhered to all the procedures laid down in law and by the apex court while arresting the accused persons in a criminal case. However, the Government, either in its written statement or arguments, did not say anything on the court's query whether Chief Minister had stated at a media conference that he had ordered the arrest of officials of the RCB and others. The government, in its written statement, had merely stated that the contention of the petitioners, that their arrest was made solely on the Chief Minister's order, was not relevant for deciding the legality of their arrest.

The former Indian skipper, who led the squad to the Champions Trophy 2025, is now keeping track of his daughter's rather large collection of Labubus. Looks like his little munchkin has caught the fever of collecting the Pop Mart stuff toy that has taken the world by a storm. What's more, it has become the luxury 'it-thing' to own and used as a bag charm, or simply a plush toy. Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma shared a picture of a quite a collection of Pop Mart's Labubu plushies that have taken the globe by a storm. Rohit's story on social media was literally a picture of a heap of not one or two, but seven Labubus perched on a couch that supposedly belong to his daughter, Samaira. What's more, Rohit cheekily captioned the story, "My girls tried explaining this to me, I still don't get it." This honestly was quite a laugh riot and a tell-all on the actual craze of the viral Labubu toys.
