Owaisi criticises US trade tariffs on India, opposes cricketing ties with Pakistan
Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday said that U.S. President Donald Trump would have to decide whether his country would trade with India, its strategic partner, or Pakistan, a country that 'trades in terror'. Mr. Owaisi, who is the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president, was interacting with the media at the party headquarters in Darussalaam. 'The U.S. President should understand that India–U.S. bilateral trade is worth over $200 billion, while U.S.–Pakistan trade is just $5 billion. The new agreement will increase our [bilateral] trade to $500 billion. The U.S. President has to decide if he wants to trade with a country where terrorism is trade, or with India, where successive governments over the past two decades have deepened strategic ties between the the two countries,' Mr. Owaisi said. The Hyderabad MP also criticised the trade tariffs which the U.S. imposed on India and said that these would affect the textile industry in Tamil Nadu, and the gems and diamond industry of Surat. Mr. Owaisi reiterated his opposition to cricketing ties with Pakistan given threats from that country's military leadership, including those nuclear in nature. 'My heart and conscience do not permit it,' he said, adding that when the Wagah border has been closed, and visas were not being issued, why must a cricket match take place. He hoped that the Narendra Modi government would summon the US envoy in India and lodge their protest against Pakistan army chief Asim Munir's comments against India made on US soil. In a separate development, Mr. Owaisi inaugurated projects whose funds would be drawn from MPLADS. These include two modern gyms at the Sports Complex in Chandulal Baradari, and Manju Miyan Tabela Community Hall in Dabeerpura, a new Anganwadi building and toilet block at Government High School, Azampura-II, a new building for Government Boys High School building (Urdu Medium) for Classes VI to X at Moghalpura, and a new library building at Moghalpura Division.

Here's all you should know about the new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe, priced at ₹1.35 lakh
Mercedes-Benz has expanded its AMG line-up in India with the introduction of the CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe. Priced at ₹ 1.35 crore (ex-showroom), the two-door performance car is now available for bookings, with deliveries set to begin immediately. Although the engine in this coupe is not a V8, it still lets out throaty growls from the exhaust. It propels the AMG CLE 53 Coupe from 0 to 100 kmph in 4.2 seconds (claimed) and has a top speed electronically limited to 250 kmph, which can be raised to 270 kmph with an optional package. The coupe will directly rival the BMW M2 on Indian soil, although the latter can be acquired at a discount when compared to the former. Underneath, the AMG Ride Control suspension combines steel springs with adaptive damping, adjustable in Comfort, Sport, and Sport+ settings. Damping rates for rebound and compression are controlled independently, reacting quickly to road and driving conditions. Standard rear-axle steering allows the rear wheels to turn up to 2.5 degrees opposite to the front wheels at speeds under 100 kmph for tighter manoeuvres, or up to 0.7 degrees in the same direction above that speed to aid stability. Power comes from a 3.0-litre M 256M inline six-cylinder petrol engine equipped with twin turbocharging and an electric additional compressor. Modifications such as revised inlet and outlet channels, new piston rings, optimised injection, and a larger exhaust gas turbocharger have increased boost pressure to 1.5 bar. Output stands at 449 bhp with 560 Nm of torque, rising to 600 Nm for short bursts using overboost. A second-generation Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) is integrated into the gearbox bell housing. Operating as part of a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, it provides 23 bhp and 205 Nm while enabling functions such as regenerative braking, engine-off sailing, and near-instant restarts. The AMG Speedshift TCT 9G automatic transmission supports fast upshifts and multiple downshifts, with rev-matching on gear changes. It works with the fully variable AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system, which can continuously adjust torque distribution between the front and rear axles. Official WLTP fuel consumption is between 9.3 and 9.7 litres per 100 km, which translates to 10.3 to 10.7 kmpl. Five AMG Dynamic Select drive modes are available: Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Individual. These change throttle response, shift patterns, steering weight, and suspension settings. Manual gear control is possible through steering-mounted paddles using the dedicated M button. The cabin features Artico leather and Microcut microfibre upholstery with AMG-specific graphics and contrast stitching. A 12.3-inch driver display offers multiple layouts, including the AMG Supersport mode, which highlights performance data such as lap times and G-forces. A portrait-style 11.9-inch central touchscreen runs the latest MBUX infotainment interface, controlled via touch, voice commands, or steering wheel buttons. Dynamic ambient lighting with 64 colour choices is standard.

Over 2 lakh cyberattacks, 4 lakh data breaches hit Indian educational institutions in 9 months
Indian educational institutions suffered more than two lakh cyberattacks and nearly four lakh data breaches in just nine months, a pilot study has revealed. The study, titled "Exploring Cyber Threats and Digital Risks to Indian Educational Institutions", was conducted under CyberPeace Foundation's flagship e-Kawach initiative in collaboration with DELNET, Resecurity and Autobot Infosec. Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program It was released on Wednesday along with the launch of the "Cyber First Responder" initiative, aimed at equipping students, faculty, librarians and staff with skills to counter cyber threats, deepfakes and misuse of artificial intelligence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo The nine-month study, conducted between July 2023 and April 2024, found more than 8,000 unique usernames and 54,000 unique passwords being used in brute-force attacks. Commonly targeted usernames included "root" and "admin", while weak passwords, such as "123456" and "password", were frequently attempted. "Indian educational institutions are likely five times more vulnerable to data breaches than counterparts with stronger cyber practices," the report warned, adding that breaches could lead to impersonation of faculty, phishing attacks, deepfake content, theft of sensitive research data and leakage of exam papers. Live Events Vice Chancellor of National Law University-Delhi Prof. (Dr) G S Bajpai said resilience in the digital era means transforming systems in response to a disruption. DELNET director Dr Sangeeta Kaul called the Cyber First Responder initiative "a commitment to shaping, not just reacting to, change", while CyberPeace Foundation founder and global president Vineet Kumar described the report as a "wake-up call" for academic institutions. "Digitisation without cybersecurity is like building a house without doors or locks. Innovation cannot thrive without resilience," Kumar said, adding that the programme aims to create a first line of defence against cyber threats and AI abuse in academia.
