Kolhapur: Supporters of the
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena
and Shiv Sena (UBT) jointly celebrated MNS chief Raj Thackeray's birthday in Sangli, potentially indicating a future alliance between the Thackeray cousins.
Shamburaj Katkar, the Sangli president of Shiv Sena (UBT), made an appearance at the MNS office, where officials from both parties participated in cake-cutting festivities. They shared the cake amongst themselves and raised victory chants supporting both Raj and Uddhav Thackeray.
Tanaji Sawant, the district chief of MNS, said: "The Thackeray brand should live for the Marathi cause in Maharashtra. We have shown that whenever attempts are made to end the Thackerays, the supporters can still rally behind them.
We have decided to mark the birthday by holding an elocution competition and an essay writing competition."
Katkar said, "We come together for various causes by leaving aside our differences. The differences are political and not personal. We wish both Thackerays would come together. Already, attempts are being made to keep both away from each other, but they will not succeed."

Maharashtra plans state wide events to mark 350th martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur
MUMBAI: Maharashtra will hold year-long, state-wide events to mark the 350th martyrdom of the 9th Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, beginning in November. At a meeting chaired by CM Devendra Fadnavis on Friday, representatives of the Sikh community and senior govt officials discussed preparations to make the events memorable. Sant Gyani Harnam Singh Khalsa, Pradahan of Sant Samaj, was among the Sikh representatives who attended the meeting. 'This event of religious tolerance and national consciousness is of immense importance to the country,' Khalsa said. PM Narendra Modi, HM Amit Shah, and UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath are expected to attend three major gatherings at Nanded, Nagpur, and Mumbai Metropolitan Region, respectively. 'This historic event will help Maharashtra reaffirm its reputation as a symbol of cultural consciousness, religious tolerance, and national integrity. We are glad the CM is taking personal interest in making the events memorable,' said Bal Malkit Singh, Convenor, Maharashtra Sikh Association and Director of the state-level organising committee of the events. Malkit Singh added that the events will not only create awareness about the Guru's life and works but will also help foster love, peace and communal harmony. Fadnavis said that a special booklet on the life and values of Guru Tegh Bahadur will be published in Hindi, Punjabi, and Marathi to propagate the story of the Guru's life and sacrifice and make the new generation aware of his values.

Ahmedabad plane crash: No DNA match yet for ex-Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani, says hospital official; 12 bodies handed over to families so far
NEW DELHI: Authorities have not yet been able to identify the remains of former Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani , who was among the 241 passengers killed in Thursday's Air India Flight 171 crash. Dr Rajnish Patel, additional medical superintendent at Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad, confirmed on Sunday, 'We have not yet found a DNA match for the former CM Vijay Rupani.' So far, 31 victims have been identified through DNA testing and 12 bodies handed over to families — including passengers from Udaipur, Kheda, Vadodara, Visnagar and Ahmedabad. The delay in identification has prolonged the wait for Rupani's family and supporters, even as Rajkot — his hometown — observed a half-day shutdown on Saturday to mourn his death. Shops, businesses and around 600 private and grant-in-aid schools remained shut till afternoon following an appeal by the Rajkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Rupani, a two-time chief minister who served from 2016 to 2021, was also the BJP's in-charge for Punjab. He was travelling to London aboard AI-171, a Boeing Dreamliner that crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad airport. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

White House Denies Inviting Pak Army Chief Asim Munir To US Military Parade
New York: The White House has denied that Pakistan's military chief, Asim Munir, was invited to the Washington Military Parade on Saturday. "This is false. No foreign military leaders were invited," a White House official said of the reports about the invitation to Munir. The parade on Saturday is billed as one of the largest military shows in the US, an attempt to showcase its defence capabilities and boost US President Donald Trump's image. The parade commemorates the formal founding of the US Army on June 14, 1775, to fight the British colonialists, a year before the US attained Independence. The date coincides with the 79th birthday of Trump, who will take the salute. Thousands of troops, dozens of tanks and other military hardware, in addition to helicopters and parachutists, are scheduled to participate in the parade on Saturday afternoon, which will also feature flyovers. This will be a unique spectacle because the US does not have a tradition of military parades like India's Republic Day or France's Bastille Day parades. The last time Washington witnessed a military show was in 1991 when the National Victory Celebration was held after the US defeated Iraq in the First Gulf War to liberate Kuwait, which was also known as Operation Desert Storm. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, among others, claimed it was a huge setback for Indian diplomacy. The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena-UBT in an editorial in its newspaper 'Saamana' asserted India suffered diplomatically and it was a "deliberate attempt to weaken India's fight". It accused the BJP of being blind supporters of Trump and not sufficiently outraged at the claimed invitation to Asim Munir. The exposure of the fake news was also a blow to Pakistan, which tried to make it seem a one-upmanship on India after its delegation, led by former Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari failed to meet any senior US officials above the rank of an UnderSecretary.
