Bengali Muslims are being detained in Bangladesh while India is removing their citizenship. Years of BJP propaganda and a media that is all too willing to sell the story of a Muslim “enemy within” have caused the crackdown to spread throughout the country.

Alex Shephard’s interview
Donald Trump is pressuring US media outlets in unprecedented amounts, according to Alex Shephard of The New Republic.
Trump is now suing the Wall Street Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, as well as politicizing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), after being forced to do so by force outside of court with the president.
The federal and state levels’ lack of accountability is criticized by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP).
Kolawole Oluwadare, the deputy director of SERAP, said on Saturday on Channels Television’s Sunrise that the majority of people think the government uses wasteful resources.
According to him, “The reality is that the majority of Nigerians view the governors as being dishonest.” It demonstrates the extent of Nigeria’s poverty.

The President is the C-in-C, and he superintends over the governors because he really doesn’t need the US government to say that before he knows that.
The President has a lot of authority to affect the economy, according to the nature of federalism we practice.
Governors’ performance, according to Oluwadare, was largely deficient in terms of providing leadership and public trust.
“And that may be due to the President not doing enough,” she added. And that demonstrates the country’s infrastructure shortfall.
According to him, “that’s how you see governors will prioritize building large buildings over constructing infrastructure that will benefit the people,” he continued.
In addition, he added that impunity had eroded government systems, despite the Constitution’s explicit instructions for governors and other public officers.

A source told MailOnline: “Katie will not be in Princess’s show, the decision has been made and it’s final. Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life.

When certain individuals who once looked after me are now doing so.” Katie’s sister Sophie then cut her off and told her to “save it for another day.”
Mehmet Dalman, the club’s chairman, has dismissed the notion that it is close to being sold as “fiction.”
Gareth Bale, a former Wales and Real Madrid forward, has made it known that a consortium he is leading has made offers to buy the Bluebirds, despite reports of takeover offers from a South African-based company.
Although Dalman acknowledged that potential suitors had made informal inquiries, only one of them, who they are “seriously,” said club owner Vincent Tan was not interested in selling.
The chairman also refuted rumors that he was thinking about buying Cardiff from Tan.
The Bluebirds return to League One action on Saturday against Peterborough United, after being eliminated from the championship last year.
This is a fantastic piece of fiction. No one from a South African consortium came to see me, let me be absolutely clear, Dalman said.
“We don’t want anyone to look at this club around.” We have never spoken to the authorities, the English Football League, or anyone in between.
I’ve never attempted to form a group to take over this. I have never expressed an interest in acquiring this club. I traveled with Vincent, and I’m going most of the way.
“A number of groups are attempting to buy this club on the cheap, so they’re pulling these stories out.” We simply need to [kill] the stories. Promoting is what we’re trying to do.
The takeover discussion has gotten more heated when Bale revealed in June that his consortium had approached the Bluebirds about buying his home club, for the first time ever by anyone on the board of Cardiff.
The group claimed in July that a second offer had been made, and Gary Otto, a legendary former Welsh captain, was rumored to be leading a rival bid.
Dalman expressed his appreciation for their interest, but he questioned whether it was serious.
Every team that is relegated receives calls because some people are looking for value purchases, he said.
We have approaches all the time. The majority of them are pitiful. Some of them are convincing.
We did, of course, make approaches, but that is not a bid. When people rung up, you’d be surprised at how low some of the numbers were.
I need to know who they are in their entirety in order for me to take anyone seriously. I require reliable financial institution proof, preferably from a credible source. I need to know their accountants and attorneys, as well as their accountants. I don’t have an offer until they give me those four things.
Tan may be sold at the appropriate price, according to Dalman’s previous statement.
The owner of Cardiff would prefer to sell in the Championship or, ideally, return to the Premier League, where they have spent two seasons while they have been in charge, after their relegation last season.
Two seasons ago, when Cardiff was in the Championship, a “cast-iron” offer was on the table, according to Dalman, but Tan was reluctant to sell even then.
Dalman remarked, “I would not want to sell at this level.” I want to see this team compete in the Championship, which is where they should be.
Two seasons ago, when we were in the Championship and offered a cast-iron offer, things were very close. And that was the closest we could get to selling.
“We recently completed a valuation of about £40 million. Because this is a Premier League catchment area and stadium, I believe you can ask for a premium.
“If you stretch it, it could be worth £50 million. Do you want to sell a Championship club if it is worth $100 million? It could be worth $400 million in the Premier League.

The musician’s will has revealed the staggering sum that Maxi Jazz left behind after his passing, some of which was set aside for donation to a Buddhist charity.
Probate records have been released revealing the fortune Faithless frontman Maxi Jazz left behind(Image: Redferns)
Faithless frontman Maxi Jazz left behind a £3 million fortune in his will, along with an impressive gift to a Buddhist charity close to his heart.
The pioneering dance music star, born Maxwell Fraser, died in December 2022 at the age of 65 following a long illness. Jazz was the voice behind Faithless anthems like Insomnia, God Is A DJ and We Come 1.
Newly released probate records reveal that the musician’s estate was valued at £3,119,567 before deductions, with around £60,000 reduced due to costs. It comes after Sir Michael Palin says he is preparing for the end of his life in sad update.

According to The Sun, 20 percent of the estate, amounting to approximately £624,000, was left to Soka Gakkai International (SGI), a global Buddhist charity.
After a girlfriend introduced jazz to SGI’s Nichiren Buddhism in the early 1990s, Jazz devotedly followed it. SGI teaches that chanting and personal empowerment can transform someone’s life. The group has attracted criticism from some former members despite having a large following, and it continues to be a contentious topic in international religious circles.
According to the 2019 will, which the High Court approved last week, friends and his niece Michaela will inherit her share of the estate. There were no children for Maxi Jazz.
Jazz was born in Brixton, South London, and he was the first to make waves on pirate radio in the 1980s before co-founding Faithless in 1995, at the age of nearly 40. Before discovering Buddhism, he once said that the group’s name reflected his sense of spiritual emptiness.
Insomnia, the group’s breakout single, was written while a painful tooth abscess made you sleepless night. Jazz claimed that his only constant was his music writing. The song is still a defining anthem of the era and quickly became a club classic.
Jazz and Faithless played in concert at large festival gatherings, including a 100, 000-strong audience at Glastonbury in 2002, before leaving in 2016 to start new musical projects with his blues-reggae band, Maxi Jazz &, The E-Type Boys.
Faithless paid tribute to the frontman with a sincere statement that read, “He was a man who changed our lives in so many ways. He gave our music its proper message and meaning. He also had time for everyone, and he had a profound and accessible wisdom. Working with him was a great honor and, of course, a real pleasure.
He had a brilliant voice, a brilliant DJ, a brilliant stage presence, endless talk, beautiful person, moral compass, and genius.
Jazz was a devoted Crystal Palace supporter as well, and he joined the South London football team as an associate director in 2012. Players in his honor walked out of Selhurst Park after his passing to pay tribute to him at Faithless Music.

Club chairman Steve Parish also commemorated him, saying: “He was such a huge talent, a massive supporter of the club in every way and just a wonderful kind-hearted man. He made the world dance, sing and laugh and someone I was privileged to call a friend. RIP Maxi.”
