Former Odisha CM and Biju Janata Dal President Naveen Patnaik (@Naveen_Odisha) posts on X, "Jai Hind. The judicial custody of #AshutoshRanka and #SauravDas must be urgently reviewed and they must be released immediately. Hoisting the National Flag, even in a prohibited area, should not warrant such prolonged detention. The judiciary and the executive must rise to the occasion to ensure that the youth of this country do not lose faith in the rule of law and constitutional rights."

VIDEO | Mumbai: At Freedom 250 reception, EAM S Jaishankar (@DrSJaishankar) says, "Now, like many other symbols of success and modernity, Mumbai too, has been attacked by those who wish it ill. The spirit of the Mumbaikar was demonstrated in their response to the 26/11 terrorist assault. Six Americans also lost their lives at that time. Secretary Rubio, all of Mumbai, and indeed all of India, appreciates your laying a wreath today at the Taj Hotels 26/11 Memorial. India also welcomes this administration's decision to extradite Tahawwur Hussain Rana, who was one of the key culprits. We are clear on the right to defend ourselves against terrorism and expect that our partners show zero tolerance towards terrorism as well. As we mark this anniversary together, it is natural to reflect on the way ahead. The world order is clearly in transition and countries are responding accordingly. Each one of us, each one of us will naturally pursue our national interest. In such an era, expanding our convergence is key to deepening our ties. There are new opportunities in our partnership in trade, investment, technology, and energy, and these await us. We have a shared stake in strengthening peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific. Engaging regularly and identifying common interest will certainly help provide a pathway." (Source: US Department of State YT) #SJaishankar #USA

VIDEO | Mumbai: At Freedom 250 reception, EAM S Jaishankar (@DrSJaishankar) says, "Our ties have indeed come a long way. History records that many Americans were supportive of India's struggle for independence. After that, whether it was infrastructure and education, or food, agriculture, and technology... Our partnership has made a real difference to India's development. Conversely, Indian talent and Indian skills have helped shape the tech era in the United States. Of course, we've had our share of issues, including the manner in which we approach the world and its challenges. But in the last few decades, our partnership has steadily expanded, acquiring new dimensions and new facets. The Quad, Mission 500, PAX Silica and the Forge initiative are among some of the notable examples. And growth in the fields of energy, in defence and civil aviation sectors have actually been striking." (Source: US Department of State YT) #SJaishankar #USA

"This time my preparations will be different. I am focusing on my recovery, I have not been able to practice as much as I usually do. I have done a lot of travelling this year, I have played a lot of tournaments as well, so sometimes your energy goes down and after the Asian Games, I rested and did some chipping and putting and I know this DLF Golf course really well because I have played here every year so I don't really have expectations as such, I will just come here and play my golf."

Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi (@sanghaviharsh) posts on X, "A train journey through Shizuoka offers a beautiful glimpse of Japan’s culture of cleanliness, discipline and civic responsibility. India, too, is steadily moving towards cleaner public spaces and more sustainable urban living. Japan serves as a wonderful inspiration, reminding us that a cleaner nation is built not just through initiatives, but through the everyday habits of its people. A journey that offers lessons beyond the destination!" (Photo Source: Harsh Sanghavi's X handle)

VIDEO | Mumbai: At Freedom 250 reception, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio (@SecRubio) says, "If you look at geopolitics, no matter what you make, no matter what you innovate, it has to get from you to the places you're sending it to, unless you only want to sell to your own economy. That, requires free and unfettered ability to trade. That requires open sea lanes, as an example. And in particular, for the United States and India, a free and secure Indo-Pacific. On that, one in which no nation can claim dominance or ownership of international shipping lanes. On that issue, we are 100% and perfectly aligned. I could go on and on, but the point is, of course, no two nations on Earth will ever be perfectly aligned on every issue. And of course, there will be times and points of disagreement. But on the core issues that matter, the core issues that define the national interest of both India and the United States, the alignment between our countries is extraordinary. Especially for two countries of this size, especially for two countries of this magnitude, because we can be aligned and not smaller countries don't matter, of course they do. But when you're talking about a country that's approximating 1.5 billion people and the largest economy in the world in the United States, when two powers like that can be aligned on these issues that are going to define the 21st century, then we have an opportunity together to write those pages in the history of the 21st century."
