Denmark Missile Develops Technical Error, Major Shipping Strait Closed

Denmark Missile Develops Technical Error, Major Shipping Strait Closed

Danish frigate is docked at Naval Station Korsor.

A Danish missile could launch any minute due to a technical error, the country’s navy said on Thursday. This forced authorities in Denmark to close an area of airspace and warn ships of potential accidental strike, according to a CNN report. Denmark’s armed forces said the technical error arose on a harpoon missile on board frigate HDMS Niels Juel during a mandatory test. The military vessel is stationed in Denmark’s Great Belt strait, the main maritime gateway to the Baltic Sea.

The booster on the missile on board the ship was activated and it cannot be deactivated, the Danish armed forces said in a statement, adding that specialists are on their way to prevent any untoward incident.

“Until the booster is disabled, there is a risk that the missile could launch and fly several kilometers away,” the statement said.

The military also said that the missile is live, but only the booster rocket is activated and there is no danger of it reaching father than the rocket can lift it.

If any unintentional launch takes place, it could send fragments into the Danish waters, promoting the authorities to temporarily close a major shipping lane. It was reopened after six hours on Thursday, the BBC said in a report.

A naval exercise began in the area last month and is due to end today.

The danger area is estimated to be up to 5-7 kilometres from naval station Korsor, at a height of approximately 1000 metres above the water.

The missile is not in the direction of the Great Belt Bridge, said the armed forces.

The BBC further quoted the Danish defence ministry as saying that the missile contained 150kg of explosives. The missile is not armed and won’t detonate if it crashes into the sea.

As Sunita Kejriwal Takes Centrestage, AAP Says "She's Best Person To…"

As Sunita Kejriwal Takes Centrestage, AAP Says 'She's Best Person To...'

Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita has addressed 3 digital briefings so far, in which she read his messages

New Delhi:

AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj has said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita is the best person to keep the party together in the prevailing circumstances and asserted that her presence has had a “positive effect” on the cadre.

In an interaction with news agency PTI editors at the agency’s headquarters, Mr Bharadwaj, who is also a cabinet minister in the Delhi government, said Sunita Kejriwal has always said that she is the “messenger” of the Delhi Chief Minister who is currently in jail.

Noting that the politics of a party does not just revolve around its manifesto, Mr Bharadwaj said the support base and the emotional connection between the cadre and the top leadership also plays a crucial role in keeping an organisation together.

“Sunita Kejriwal’s presence has had a positive impact,” he adderted.

“She is delivering the messages of Arvind Kejriwal ji. This has had a great impact on our party cadre and among our sympathisers. We want to propagate it. In the present circumstances, she is the best person to keep the party together,” Mr Bharadwaj said.

Arvind Kejriwal, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money-laundering case linked to the Delhi government’s now-scrapped excise policy, is in judicial custody till April 15.

His wife has addressed three digital briefings so far, in which she read out his messages from the Enforcement Directorate custody and Tihar Jail.

In a political debut of sorts, she read out his message at the INDIA bloc ‘maharally’ on March 31.

Asked if Sunita Kejriwal will campaign for the party in the Lok Sabha polls, he said, “We would love if this thing happens… if Sunita ji does take part in campaigning but it is her personal decision.”

On further prodding whether there was some kind of “messaging” in Sunita Kejriwal taking centre stage after her husband’s arrest, the minister replied in the negative.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, who too was arrested in the excise policy case and received bail on Wednesday, had met Sunita Kejriwal immediately after getting out of jail and was seen touching her feet.

Talking about it, the minister said if someone’s elder brother is in some difficulty, he is duty-bound to look after his family.

“This is our culture. The BJP was saying that there would be fights among the party members after Kejriwal’s arrest. Sanjay Singh considers Arvind Kejriwal his family, his elder brother. So, he touched her (Sunita Kejriwal) feet. We are working as one unit and one family,” he said.

Islamic Rev. unforeseen nightmare for Zionism followers

Some months after the victory of the revolution, in the month of Ramadan, 1399 (August 1979), the late founder of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini declared the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as the Quds Day and asked the Muslim world to show their solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine and to defend their rights.

Since then, mass marches and rallies have been held in Iran and other countries on this day to show support and solidarity with Palestinians.

This year, Quds Day will be marked more significantly across the world due to the increased support of the different nations toward the Palestinians. In recent months, people from across the world have staged numerous demonstrations in support of the Palestinians who are under an unjust Israeli war.

Israel waged its brutal war on besieged Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out an unprecedented operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

In an interview with Mehr News Agency on the occasion of Quds Day, American journalist Mark Glenn touched upon the role of the Islamic Revolution in changing regional equations and as an obstacle to the New World Order.

Here are the remarks of the American journalist Mark Glenn,

In order to best understand the role that the 1979 Revolution played in the changing of ‘regional equations’ in the Middle East, it is first important to understand what was and is the ultimate goal that Zionism, organized Jewish interests and the West intended to see take place as a result of creating this monster simply known as ‘The Jewish State’. 

This ultimate goal, this ‘New World Order’ as it is called can be summed up and understood very simply by examining critically and rationally the ‘blueprint’ for this ‘Great Reset’ which Zionism Judaism seeks to create, just a few details of which are quoted below.

‘On that day the LORD made a covenant, saying ‘To your descendants, I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates’…–Genesis, 15:18

‘Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours, from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border…’ Deuteronomy 11:24

‘The Gentiles and their kings shall minister to you, as your gates remain open, day and night, so that the wealth of the foreigners may be placed at your feet while their kings are led in humble procession before you, for the nation which will not bow down and serve you shall perish, it shall be utterly destroyed… –Book of Isaiah

These represent just a few of the many, many ‘prophecies’ which those following the diabolical, anti-God and anti-human Zionism Judaism have in mind–creating a totalitarian empire stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates and headquartered in Jerusalem from where all decisions that affect all nations will be decided and made by those claiming membership in the tribe of Judah. Those nations that refuse to bow down before these precepts will be utterly destroyed, just as the world witnessed with the nation of Palestine, Iraq, Libya, and which the diabolically-demented and deranged followers of the Zionism Judaism cult are planning to inflict upon the great nation of Iran, for indeed, had Iran not succeeded in its1979 Revolution, the diabolical plans which these elements have been striving to achieve now for thousands of years would be immeasurably closer than they already are.

The ‘turning of the tables’ that took place in 1979 was an unforeseen nightmare that the demented followers of Judaism/Zionism did not foresee and which they rightly viewed as an existential threat to their ‘blueprint’ known as the ‘New World Order’. What they fear most are the anti-biotic properties which the Revolution poses against the deadly and dangerous influenza of Zionism Judaism, a political ‘medication’ and ‘therapy’ that ALL PEOPLES around the world can utilize in ‘healing’ their nations from the life/soul-destroying contagion of the Zionist sickness, beginning with those in the Middle East. Imagine if all the peoples in the region–Sunni, Shia, Christian, were to adopt the same principles of Iran’s Revolution and as a result, the West, its military might, its political power and cultural degeneracy were driven out and the Jewish state were left to fend for itself against a tidal wave of righteous indignation and thirst for justice on the part of the oppressed.

Was Subhas Chandra Bose The 1st Head Of 'Azad Hind'? What Facts Say

Subhash Chandra Bose Was Not The 1st Prime Minister Of India, But...

New Delhi:

Kangana Ranaut, actor and BJP leader, stirred up a storm when she erroneously referred to Subhas Chandra Bose as India’s first Prime Minister. In a television interview, Ms Ranaut said, “Tell me one thing, when we got independence, where did India’s first PM Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose go?”

While Kangana Ranaut’s factually incorrect remarks have started a meme fest on X (formerly Twitter), it has also brought to light a little-known historic event when Bose declared India free and proclaimed a government where he was head of the state.

The freedom fighter, popularly known as Netaji, had on October 21, 1943 formed a government of Azad Hind (Free India) in Singapore. Subhas Chandra Bose declared himself as the Prime Minister, the Head of State, and the Minister of War while making the announcement came during World War II.

Captain Dr. Lakshmi Swaminadhan was the minister in charge of the women’s organisation. She also commanded the Rani Jhansi Regiment, a brigade of women soldiers fighting for the Indian National Army. The Rani Jhansi regiment was the first women-only battle regiment in Asia.

The ‘Azad Hind Sarkar’ proclaimed authority over Indian civilians and military personnel in the country, which was then occupied by Britain. They announced their currency, court and civil code.

The audacious move by Subhas Chandra Bose is also said to have provided a major impetus to the freedom struggle against the British.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and several other senior leaders have appreciated the role of that ‘Azad Hind’ government in providing a vision for a “strong undivided India”.

“Netaji was not just an inspiration for Indians, but for all those who were fighting for self-determination and freedom in countries all over the world,” PM Modi had said at an event to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the formation of Azad Hind Government.

Ex-Union Minister Killi Kruparani returns to Congress

Dr Kruparani and her husband Rammohan Rao joined the Congress at the launch of the bus yatra by Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President, YS Sharmila Reddy, in Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency.

Ex-Union Minister Killi Kruparani returns to Congress


Kadapa: Former Union Minister, Dr Killi Kruparani joined the Congress party on Friday, two days after she quit the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).

Dr Kruparani and her husband Rammohan Rao joined the Congress at the launch of the bus yatra by Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President, YS Sharmila Reddy, in Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency.


Sharmila Reddy welcomed her into the Congress by offering a party scarf. It is a homecoming for Dr Kruparani.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Kruparani said she worked hard for Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy and the YSRCP in north Andhra for the last five years but was ignored.

She said former chief minister, late YS Rajasekhara Reddy, was a god for her.

“I see YSR in his daughter Sharmila. The state will develop only if the Congress party comes to power,” she said.

Dr Kruparani had joined the YSR Congress before the 2019 elections but she did not get recognition in the party. She had been inactive in the party for some time due to differences with the YSRCP’s candidate from Srikakulam Lok Sabha constituency Perada Tilak and other leaders.

She was unhappy with the YSRCP leadership for not giving her a ticket either for the Lok Sabha or Assembly elections.

Dr Kruparani was elected to the Lok Sabha from Srikakulam on a Congress ticket in 2009. She served as minister of state for communications and information technology in the Dr Manmohan Singh-led UPA government from 2012 to 2014.

In 2014, Dr Kruparani contested again from Srikakulam as a Congress candidate but she finished a poor third due to public anger over the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
