The military incursions began on the People’s Republic of China’s National Day, just days before Taiwan’s National Day. On Monday, October 4, 2021, the United States described Chinese military activity near Taiwan as provocative.

“We remain concerned by the People’s Republic of China’s provocative military activity near Taiwan, which is destabilizing risk miscalculations and undermines regional peace and stability,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at her daily news conference.

“We urge Beijing to seize its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure and coercion against Taiwan, and we have an abiding interest in peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,” she said.

“That’s why we will continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability. We maintain our commitments, as outlined in the three communiques, Taiwan Relations Act, and the Six Assurances,” she said.

“We have been clear, privately and publicly, about our concern about the PRC’s pressure and coercion toward Taiwan, and we will continue to watch the situation very closely,” she said.

Senator Marco Rubio said in a separate statement that since October 1, 2021, 145 Chinese warplanes had flown into or near Taiwan’s air defence identification zone. These military invasions began on the People’s Republic of China’s National Day, just days before Taiwan’s National Day.

“The Chinese Communist Party’s aggressive behavior is intended to intimidate Taiwan and send a message to the rest of the free world,” Rubio said.

“If Beijing’s recklessness is not met with international condemnation, Xi Jinping will think he has a green light for further aggression. President Joe Biden must work with our allies to ensure the People’s Republic of China respects the status quo and the sovereign territory of Taiwan and its neighbours,” he said.

The US is concerned about China’s aggressive military action near Taiwan, according to State Department Spokesperson Ned Price.

Anyone who saves the life of a road accident victim by taking them to a hospital within the “golden hour” will be paid under a new scheme announced by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways on Monday. The golden hour is the one-hour period following a traumatic injury when delivering prompt medical attention to the victim has the best chance of preventing death.

The initiative, which took effect on October 15, specifies that each Good Samaritan would receive Rs. 5000 per incident for taking a traffic accident victim to the hospital within an hour of serious injury.

The scheme was created to encourage people to help road accident victims in an emergency scenario by providing monetary awards and certificates, as well as to inspire and motivate others to save the lives of road accident victims. According to the standards, an individual Good Samaritan can only be rewarded five times each year in order to prevent misuse of the scheme.

This step comes after the insertion of section 134A, namely “Protection of good Samaritans” in the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act in 2019. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways published the Good Samaritan Protection Rules in 2019, stating that a Good Samaritan is not liable for any civil or criminal action for any injury to or death of a victim of a motor vehicle accident.

In reference to this, the ministry said, ”Now, it has been felt that there is a need to motivate the general public through cash awards and certificates to help the road accident victims in an emergency situation and to boost their morale, and also to inspire and motivate others to save lives of the road accident victims.”

Along with the Rs. 5,000 cash prize, a certificate will be presented. Aside from this prize, the ministry also announced that ten of the nation’s most honourable helpers will receive a one-lakh-rupee award.

Rahul has been denied permission by the state government and his sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was earlier detained by the Uttar Pradesh government while she was heading to Lakhimpur Kheri.

Rahul Gandhi will today lead a delegation of senior party leaders and will head towards Lakhimpur Kheri. In a letter written to the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Congress had said a five-member delegation led by Rahul Gandhi planned to visit the district. It has also called the detention of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra ‘without any reason or justification.’ She was earlier detained by the Uttar Pradesh Police while she was heading towards the district to meet the families of farmers who died as the car of the Union Minister ramped into the protesting farmers. 

As per the reports, a delegation of Rahul Gandhi, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal, and Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot is slated to reach the capital city of Lucknow at around 01:30 pm today. The permission for the visit has been denied by the state government citing the law and order situation.

Congress further said that the Yogi government had allowed politicians from various parties in Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal to visit Lakhimpur Kheri but is not allowing them to do so. The grand old party should be allowed to visit the district and meet the families of the farmers who died due to being overrun by a car that was part of the convoy of the Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra. Earlier, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, on Monday, was detained by the state police near Sitapur as she was heading towards Lakhimpur Kheri. The Congress party had alleged that she was being detained illegally and no notice or FIR has been provided to her even after 38 hours of detention and was not even allowed to meet her lawyers. 

Yogi government has put up strict orders and is not willing to allow anyone to visit the districts due to the law and order situation. Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel, on Tuesday, was stopped by the police from visiting Lakhimpur Kheri and Baghel staged a 2-hour long dharna at the Lucknow Airport premises. The state government, on Monday, had registered an FIR against the former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav for violation of Section 144 (on unlawful assembly).

Smt. Meenakshi Lekhi quoted that, “Alexander Csoma de Korös was truly a saint as per the Indic thought, who sought knowledge and lived for achieving academic and intellectual excellence. He is the one who built a bridge between India and Hungary in the 18th century which is cherished by people of both the countries even in the 21st century.”

The purpose of this entire event is also to share the cultural interests, and to talk about the art collections shared by India & Hungary together.”

Adding to this, Hungarian research Scholar and Curator Mr. Gergely Orosz said, “Hungarians consider Alexander Csoma de Korös  (whom we  Korösi Csoma Sándor or for short Csoma) is one of the first major links connecting Hungary and India, a link that continued further by Aurel Stein, Amrita Sher-Gil, Gyula Germanus, Elizabeth Brunner and Elizabeth Sass-Brunner, Charles Fabri, Ervin Baktay and many others. Csoma took over the form of life the Tibetan lamas lived and studied their work with empathy. Hungarians present Csoma’s life as a model, – specially for young students –  exemplary in perseverance, sacrifice and simplicity. The exhibition will present various stages of Csoma’s travels and work, his global significance for the access,  understanding and preservation of Buddhist heritage as part of memory of humankind and the inception of Tibetan Studies  at a global scale.”

On Monday, US President Joe Biden spoke by phone with Fumio Kishida, Japan’s new prime minister, who took over from Yoshihide Suga after winning the governing party’s election late last month. In a message to the newly-installed leader, US President Donald Trump pledged to cooperate with Japan to counter Beijing’s growing threat in the East China Sea and the Indo-Pacific region. They also agreed to deal with North Korea’s irritating campaign, which has recently launched multiple missiles in waters just off Japan’s coast. Kishida told reporters shortly after the conversation that Biden was helpful.

The Senkaku Islands (also known in China as the “Diaoyutai Islands”) are a group of uninhabited islets in the East China Sea that have been the source of a territorial dispute between Tokyo and Beijing since at least the early 2010s. China has hastily constructed artificial islands with military equipment in the vicinity, claiming the Senkaku Islands as its “inherent domain.” Joe Biden underlined the US commitment to safeguarding the Senkaku Islands in phone discussions with Japan’s incoming prime minister in the wake of China’s increased activities in the East China Sea.

Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, and two other suspects arrested for alleged drug misuse onboard a cruise ship have been placed in the custody of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) till Thursday. The NCB custody of the three was extended by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate RM Nerlikar due to the fact that the agency seized an intermediate quantity of drugs from one of them, and Aryan Khan was accompanying them. Nerlikar also took into account the fact that the probe was still in its early stages.

Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, and Munmun Dhamecha were arrested by the NCB on Sunday and brought before a special holiday court later that day. They were remanded in NCB detention until Monday by that court. The NCB requested that Aryan Khan, Merchant, and Dhamecha be held in jail until October 11 in order to investigate the link between drug customers and suppliers, confront all of the apprehended suspects, and apprehend other narcotics substance suppliers. The judge, however, only extended their custody until October 7.

The NCB said in court that “shocking and incriminating” material seized from Aryan Khan, Merchant, and Dhamecha’s WhatsApp discussions revealed worldwide narcotics trafficking. Aryan Khan also discussed payment methods for drug purchase, according to the NCB, and many code names were used. “Raids are currently taking place. Additional solicitor general Anil Singh, representing the NCB, said that “shocking and incriminating material obtained in the accused’s WhatsApp communications demonstrates international narcotics trafficking.” “All of the defendants must be confronted with each other. International transactions must be investigated,” he says, adding that the NCB has detained a suspect.
