Air India plane crash: Baba Ramdev points to ‘foreign conspiracy', mentions Turkish agency
Two days after an Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad claimed over 260 lives, Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Saturday suspected a possible 'foreign conspiracy', alleging the involvement of a Turkish maintenance agency whose contract with Indian airports was terminated last month. 'I got to know that an agency from Turkiye used to take care of the maintenance and service of the aircraft. India will have to keep a close eye on the aviation sector,' Ramdev told ANI news agency. 'There is a possibility of a conspiracy by that agency.' Without providing any evidence for his claims, Ramdev said that India must stop allowing foreign companies to interfere in such sensitive matters. Air India's London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner (AI 171) flight crashed into a medical hostel complex in Ahmedabad's Meghaninagar on June 12, moments after taking off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.

Last month, the Centre had revoked security clearance for a Turkish firm -- "Celebi Aviation" -- that took care of operations at nine key Indian airports, including Delhi, citing national security concerns. The government had also asked IndiGo to end its aircraft lease agreement with Turkish Airlines within three months.

Celebi provided ground-based services at nine airports across India – Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Cochin, Kannur, Chennai, and the MOPA airport in Goa. Its services include passenger handling, baggage processing, aircraft loading, cargo management, and ramp services. The company also runs one of Delhi airport's two cargo terminals as a joint venture with the airport operator.

Indian professionals stranded in Georgia amid regional flight suspensions
Amid the suspension of a large number of international flights following the Israel-Iran conflict, a group of 61 persons from Rajasthan, attending a professional event, has been stranded in Georgia. The group has sought the Indian government's help for its safe return to the homeland. The individuals, mostly Chartered Accountants (CAs) and their families, were attending a residential refresher course in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi. CA Bhavik Bhatia of Jaisalmer, accompanied by his wife and child, has posted a video appealing to the Indian government for evacuation. 'Although the situation in Georgia is calm and all members are safe in their hotel, but the situation has caused anxiety among the stranded people,' Mr. Bhatia said in his message. The family members in Rajasthan have also expressed concern over the situation and called upon the Central government to make arrangements for their early return. The group, comprising 29 CAs and their family members, had left Jaipur on June 8 to participate in the course. They were scheduled to return to Jaipur via Sharjah on June 13. Rajasthan Tax Consultants' Association general secretary Ratan Goyal, who was one of the sponsors of the event, has also sought the intervention of authorities at both the Centre and the State to ensure a safe return of all members.

‘No Kings' protests: Anti-Trump erupt across US as military parade looms; officials urge calm
Tens of thousands of protesters rallied across the United States on Saturday under the banner of 'No Kings,' denouncing President Donald Trump's leadership as he prepared to headline a massive military parade in Washington to mark the Army's 250th anniversary — which also coincides with his 79th birthday. While no demonstrations were scheduled in the capital itself, rallies swept through nearly 2,000 locations nationwide, from bustling cities to small-town parks. In Philadelphia's Love Park — site of the flagship rally — light rain didn't deter crowds from chanting, singing altered lyrics to 'Y.M.C.A.,' and waving protest signs. Some signs read 'Fight oligarchy' and 'Deport the mini-Mussolinis.' Others addressed immigration with slogans like 'The wrong ice is melting. ' 'It's about defending democracy,' said Karen Van Trieste, a 61-year-old nurse from Maryland who returned to her hometown of Philadelphia to join the protest. 'There's just too much going wrong under this administration.' In Atlanta, the 5,000-person capacity rally outside the state Capitol quickly reached its limit, with overflow crowds spilling onto surrounding streets. A drum circle beat in front of Los Angeles City Hall, while in Charlotte, North Carolina, demonstrators shouted, 'We have no kings.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60 m² Prefab Bungalow for Seniors in Masazir Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo National Guard mobilised amid warnings The 50501 Movement, organisers of the 'No Kings' campaign — a nod to 50 states, 50 protests, one movement — said the effort is aimed at resisting what they describe as Trump's 'authoritarian actions.' The protests come in the wake of widespread anger over recent federal immigration raids and Trump's deployment of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles. In response, governors in Virginia, Texas, Nebraska and Missouri activated the National Guard. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin warned, 'If you violate the law, you're going to be arrested.' In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis cautioned protesters not to cross the line near Mar-a-Lago, where a march is planned. Missouri's Mike Kehoe said his state would not 'wait for chaos to ensue.' Some law enforcement agencies, such as California's, placed their officers on tactical alert, cancelling all scheduled leave. In West Virginia, the National Guard was also put on standby. Local officials urge restraint Democratic governors urged protesters to remain peaceful. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said security preparations were in place for what could become a 100,000-strong crowd in Philadelphia. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs and Washington state's Bob Ferguson both called on protesters to avoid violence, with Ferguson warning against giving Trump a reason to deploy federal forces. In Tallahassee, Florida, around 1,000 demonstrators chanted 'dissent is patriotic,' while carrying signs like 'One nation under distress.' Organisers explicitly instructed crowds to avoid clashes with counterprotesters and not to obstruct traffic. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner underscored that any illegal activity — including by immigration officers overstepping their authority — would be prosecuted. Quoting Martin Luther King Jr., he said, 'If you are doing what Martin Luther King would have done, you're going to be fine.'
