UP ATS arrests two for being in ‘contact with Pak nationals, promoting Sharia law'
The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) has arrested two Indian nationals who were allegedly in contact with several individuals from Pakistan. They are accused of spreading anti-national and extremist views through various social media platforms. According to the police, both suspects were part of online groups that promoted radical content and encouraged others to participate in their activities. The police said that the arrested persons have been identified as Ajmal Ali alias Asgar Khan, a resident of Amroha district, and Dr. Usama Maj Sheikh (26), a native of Maharashtra, stated police. Ajmal (22) is currently pursuing his graduation, while the police are verifying the authenticity of his Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) degree. According to the police, the two were influenced by extremist Wahhabi ideology and aimed to promote 'Ghazwa-e-Hind' and enforce Sharia law in India. They are also accused of trying to radicalize Muslim youth, spread hatred against non-Muslim communities, and incite people to participate in anti-India and unlawful acts, the police said. 'We are working to identify more individuals linked to this network. The investigation is ongoing,' said an officer involved in the case. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police Sachin Gore, during the verification process, it was discovered that Shaikh holds a BHMS degree and was employed as a resident medical officer at a private hospital. The police said that while monitoring activities of anti-national elements, police discovered a WhatsApp group named 'Reviving Islam.' This group had three administrators and nearly 400 members, most of whom were from Pakistan. During the investigation, the police discovered that one of the mobile numbers associated with the group belonged to Ajmal. He was allegedly involved in promoting and spreading anti-national and extremist ideologies across various social media platforms, specifically targeting individuals from non-Muslim communities. The agency summoned Ajmal to the ATS headquarters in Lucknow for interrogation. During questioning, he reportedly confessed to his involvement and revealed that, in addition to being a member of the WhatsApp group 'Reviving Islam', he was also in contact with several Pakistani individuals through other social media platforms. According to police, Ajmal further disclosed his connection to an Instagram account operated by Usama Maj Sheikh. He admitted that through this Instagram ID and the Signal app, anti-India conversations were held, including discussions about destabilizing the elected Indian government and enforcing Sharia law in the country. On August 1, the ATS registered a case at its police station and arrested Ajmal. He was produced before the court, which subsequently remanded him to judicial custody. On Sunday, Dr. Usama Maj Sheikh was arrested with the assistance of the Maharashtra ATS and Thane police. Officials stated that Ajmal regarded Dr. Usama as his senior and mentor.

Nancy Mace Launches 2026 Gubernatorial Bid In South Carolina With Bold Agenda
The 2026 Republican primary for governor is shaping up to be highly competitive. Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace officially announced her candidacy for governor of South Carolina on Monday, entering the 2026 race with a fiery speech and an ambitious 10-point agenda. Speaking before a crowd of supporters, Mace declared that her campaign would offer a 'roadmap to rebuild South Carolina from the ground up," vowing to bring bold leadership and reform to the Palmetto State. 'South Carolina is tired of politicians who smile for the cameras, lie to your face, and then vanish when it's time to lead," Mace said during her campaign launch, as reported by CNN, adding, 'I'm running for governor because South Carolina doesn't need another empty suit." Mace, currently serving her third term in the US House of Representatives, laid out a wide-ranging agenda in an interview with the Associated Press. Her priorities include overhauling the criminal justice system, eliminating the state's income tax, and expanding protections for women and children. Education reform also features prominently, with Mace pushing for greater school choice and an expansion of vocational training options. A notable element of her campaign announcement video included footage of President Donald Trump praising her as a 'fighter," a nod to their evolving political relationship. Once a vocal critic of Trump, particularly in the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol riot, Mace has since become one of his allies, endorsing him during the 2024 GOP primaries. Mace has also positioned herself as a staunch advocate for women's rights. In a May congressional hearing on non-consensual recordings, she revealed a naked silhouette image allegedly taken without her consent by her ex-fiancé. Simultaneously, she has taken conservative stances on other gender-related policies, including support for banning transgender women from using women's restrooms at the Capitol. The 2026 Republican primary for governor is shaping up to be highly competitive. Mace will face several prominent GOP figures, including Attorney General Alan Wilson, Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette, state Senator Josh Kimbrell, and US Rep. Ralph Norman. Governor Henry McMaster, a Republican, is term-limited and will not seek reelection. Mace has already taken aim at Wilson, accusing him of neglecting his duty to protect women and children. In February, she publicly claimed that Wilson ignored evidence of sexual misconduct involving her ex-fiancé and other men, alleging a broader failure of accountability.
