Rohingyas back at centre of Delhi poll discourse, old Hardeep Puri post latest flashpoint between AAP-BJP

New Delhi: Rohingya Muslims are once again at the centre of a political row in Delhi, where assembly elections are due in two months, with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing each other of allowing members of the community to “illegally settle” in the city. Stung by BJP’s allegations that it helped Rohingyas and Bangladeshis illegally obtain voter identity cards over the past decade when it governed the city, the AAP Sunday raked up an over two-year-old statement by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri that Rohingya refugees will be shifted to low-cost flats in Delhi’s Bakkarwala. The Union government later denied this claim. In near-identical posts on X (formerly Twitter), AAP leaders claimed that Puri’s statement was clear evidence that ...

Study finds connection between quantum theory, information theory – Times of India

LINKOPING: "Our results have no clear or direct application right now. It's basic research that lays the foundation for future technologies in quantum information and quantum computers. There's enormous potential for complete discoveries in many different research fields," said Guilherme B Xavier, a researcher in quantum communication at Linkoping University, Sweden.However, we must begin at the beginning in order to comprehend what the researchers have demonstrated.One of the most irrational--yet essential--features of quantum mechanics is that light may be both particles and waves. We refer to this as wave-particle duality.The theory dates back to the 17th century when Isaac Newton suggested that light is composed of particles. Other contemporary scholars believed that light consists of ...

Assad regime’s fall a setback for Iran, Russia. Who’s Muhammad al-Jawlani, architect behind his ouster

New Delhi: Bashar al-Assad, the leader of Syria, reportedly fled Damascus early Sunday, following a rapid assault by the insurgent group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham over the last two weeks, upending the regional order in West Asia in a major blow for Iran and Russia. “Assad is gone. He has fled his country. His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was not interested in protecting him any longer. There was no reason for Russia to be there in the first place.

Fall of Assad: Israel PM says military has seized buffer zone in Golan Heights – Times of India

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that Israeli forces had taken control of a buffer zone in the Golan Heights, which had been established by a 1974 ceasefire agreement with Syria. This followed a rapid rebel advance that led to the end of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s rule. Netanyahu said that the long-standing agreement had collapsed, with Syrian troops abandoning their positions, which led to Israel's decision to take over the area. Netanyahu also hailed the ousting of Syria's Bashar al-Assad on Sunday as a "historic day". "This is a direct result of the blows we have inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah, Assad's main supporters. It has triggered a chain reaction across the Middle East, empowering those seeking to break free from this oppressive regime," he ad...
