Vijay Rupani's hometown Rajkot prepares to bid its beloved neta a final farewell RAJKOT/GANDHINAGAR: The Gujarat government is likely to announce a day-long state mourning in memory of former chief minister, Vijay Rupani , who died in the Air India Ahmedabad-London Dreamliner crash on Thursday. Rupani's son, Rushabh, who arrived from the US early on Saturday, provided DNA samples to assist authorities in identifying his father's mortal remains. Earlier, Rupani's sister submitted samples, but those did not match. "We are awaiting confirmation from the DNA results," a BJP member close to the family said. In Rupani's hometown, Rajkot, preparations are underway for his last rites, with BJP and local authorities organising a grand funeral procession to allow citizens to bid a final farewell to their beloved neta. The procession will begin at his residence in Prakash Society. A prayer meeting is also being planned at Racecourse, although the final decision rests with the Rupani family. Rajkot police issued a notification restricting vehicle movement and parking on the funeral route, anticipating heavy turnout from across the city and nearby villages.

Throughout Saturday, senior politicians and well-wishers gathered at the Rupani residence in Gandhinagar to express their condolences. BJP said members approached officials multiple times over the last two days, suggesting that Rupani's remains could be identified through a distinctive wristwatch he was known to wear. However, at least two attempts to identify a victim wearing such a watch proved unsuccessful, sources said.

Minister for tribal welfare Vijay Shah was present in the training camp during Shah's inaugural speech. "In Pahalgam, they attacked by asking about religion, now they will crave for food grains to eat. They will have to ask for food grains from foreign countries," he added. Shah recounted that when the country became independent, Congress was in power, and Pt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Nehru completely dominated the Congress party. "The policies made by the Nehru govt at that time did not have the fragrance of the country's soil. There was no proclamation of our ancient culture in them. They were inspired by Western values. There were many leaders at that time who did not agree with these policies. One of them was Dr. Shyamaprasad Mukherjee, who was the Union minister for industry in the Nehru Cabinet," Shah said. "When Pt. Nehru imposed Article 370 in Kashmir because of the Nehru-Liaqat Pact, Dr Shyamaprasad Mukherjee resigned from the cabinet. Speaking on Article 370, Amit Shah recalled that Dr. Shyamaprasad Mukherjee had proclaimed that 'do vidhan, do nishan, do pradhan' cannot work in one nation.

As Trump goes to G7 summit, other world leaders aim to show they're not intimidated
US President Donald Trump has long bet that he can scare allies into submission -- a gamble that is increasingly being tested ahead of the Group of Seven summit beginning on Monday in Canada. He has threatened stiff tariffs in the belief that other nations would crumple. He has mused about taking over Canada and Greenland. He has suggested he will not honour NATO's obligations to defend partners under attack. And he has used Oval Office meetings to try to intimidate the leaders of Ukraine and South Africa. But many world leaders see fewer reasons to be cowed by Trump, even as they recognise the risks if he followed through on his threats. They believe he will ultimately back down -- since many of his plans could inflict harm on the US -- or that he can simply be charmed and flattered into cooperating. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hiep Thanh: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo "Many leaders still seem intimidated by Trump, but increasingly they are catching on to his pattern of bullying," said Jeremy Shapiro, research director at the European Council on Foreign Relations. "In places as diverse as Canada, Iran, China and the EU, we are seeing increasing signs that leaders now recognise that Trump is afraid of anything resembling a fair fight. And so they are increasingly willing to stand up to him." In the 22 instances in which Trump has publicly threatened military action since his first term, the US only used force twice, according to a May analysis by Shapiro. Live Events World leaders feel comfortable standing up to Trump Ahead of the G7 summit, there are already signs of subtle pushback against Trump from fellow leaders in the group. French President Emmanuel Macron planned to visit Greenland over the weekend in a show of European solidarity. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said the US is no longer the "predominant" force in the world after Trump's tariffs created fissures in a decades-long partnership between the US and its northern neighbour. "We stood shoulder to shoulder with the Americans throughout the Cold War and in the decades that followed, as the United States played a predominant role on the world stage," Carney said this past week in French. "Today, that predominance is a thing of the past." The new prime minister added that with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the US became the global hegemon, a position of authority undermined by Trump's transactional nature that puts little emphasis on defending democratic values or the rule of law. "Now the United States is beginning to monetise its hegemony: charging for access to its markets and reducing its relative contributions to our collective security," Carney said. Israel's attack on Iran has added a new wrinkle to the global picture as the summit leaders gather to tackle some of the world's thorniest problems. A senior Canadian official said it was decided early on that the G7 will not be issuing a joint communique as it has at past summits -- an indication of how hard it can be to get Trump on the same page with other world leaders. The White House said individual leader statements will be issued on the issues being discussed. Speaking last month at a conference in Singapore, Macron called France a "friend and an ally of the United States" but pushed back against Trump's desire to dominate what other countries do. Macron said efforts to force other nations to choose between the US and China would lead to the breakdown of the global order put in place after World War II. "We want to cooperate, but we do not want to be instructed on a daily basis what is allowed, what is not allowed, and how our life will change because of the decision of a single person," Macron said. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba pushed back against Trump's agenda of levying higher tariffs on imported goods, arguing it would hurt economic growth. The Japanese leader specifically called Trump ahead of the summit to confirm their plans to talk on the sidelines, which is a greater focus for Japan than the summit itself. "I called him as I also wanted to congratulate (him on) his birthday, though one day earlier," Ishiba said. Trump cares about being tough, but G7 is a chance to reset relations Senator Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, the ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said the summit was an opportunity for Trump to "mend" relationships with other countries so China would be unable to exploit differences among the G7. She said other foreign leaders are "not intimidated" by Trump's actions, which could be driving them away from tighter commitments with the US. "The conversations that I have had with those leaders suggest that they think that the partnership with the United States has been really important, but they also understand that there are other opportunities," Shaheen said. The White House did not respond to emailed questions for this story. Many leaders feel more confident that they can sidestep Trump's threats Having originally made his reputation in real estate and hospitality, Trump has taken kindly to certain foreign visitors, such as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Starmer has sought to keep Trump in line with Europe in supporting Ukraine and NATO instead of brokering any truces that would favour Russia. He has echoed the president's language about NATO members spending more on defence. But in his Oval Office visit, Starmer also pleased Trump by delivering an invite for a state visit from King Charles III.
