Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan writes to Delhi CM Atishi

“I am writing this letter to you with great sadness. You have never made appropriate decisions in the interest of farmers in Delhi. The farmer-friendly schemes of the Central Government have also been prevented from being implemented in Delhi by your government. Your government has no sympathy for farmers. Today the farmers of Delhi are upset and worried. Due to the non-implementation of many farmer welfare schemes of the Center by the Delhi Government, the farmer brothers and sisters are being deprived of the benefits of these schemes. I had earlier also written a letter to you and informed you about the problems of the farmers of Delhi, but it is a matter of concern that your government has not resolved these problems…”, reads the letter

FBI believes more than one involved in New Orleans attack

We do not believe that Shamsud Din Jabbar was solely responsible for the Bourbon Street attack. We’re aggressively running down every lead, including those of his known associates. That’s why we need the public’s help. We’re asking if anybody has had any interaction with Shamsud Din Jabbar in the last 72 hours, contact us. Anyone who has information, video or pictures, provide it to the FBI: FBI Agent Alethea Duncan

US President Joe Biden expresses grief over New Orleans attack

US President Joe Biden says, “…To all the families of those who are killed, to all those who are injured, to all the people of New Orleans who are grieving today, I want you to know I grieve with you. Our nation grieves with you. We’re going to stand with you as you mourn and as you heal in the weeks to come…The FBI is leading the investigation to determine what happened, why it happened and whether there was any continuing threat to public safety. Here’s what we know so far. The FBI has reported to me, the killer was an American citizen, born in Texas. He served in the United States Army on active duty for many years. He also served in the Army Reserve until a few years ago. The FBI also reported to me that mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social media indicating that he was inspired by ISIS, expressing a desire to kill. The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle which he rented to conduct this attack. Possible explosives were found in the vehicle as well, and more explosives were found nearby…The investigation is continuing to be active and no one should jump to conclusions…”
