What is a Man-portable Anti Tank Guided Missile

A Man-Portable Anti Tank Guided Missile is a type of missile system designed to be carried and operated by an individual soldier or small team. Furthermore, these missiles are used primarily to engage and destroy armoured vehicles, including tanks, armoured personnel carriers, and other fortified targets.

Man-portable ATGMs are typically shoulder-fired or launched from a portable tripod or vehicle mount. Additionally, they are guided by various means, including wire guidance, laser guidance, or infrared homing systems. Some advanced MPATGMs also incorporate fire-and-forget capabilities, allowing the operator to fire the missile and then manoeuvre or take cover while the missile autonomously tracks and engages the target.

These weapons provide infantry units with the capability to effectively engage armoured threats from a safe distance, giving them a significant advantage on the battlefield. Moreover, they are an essential component of modern anti-armour tactics and are widely used by military forces around the world.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the Indian Army and DRDO

A Defense Ministry official said on Sunday that the trial of its tandem warhead system has been completed. Furthermore, it was found to be capable of defeating modern armour-protected tanks. Even before this, the system was tested in various areas.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO and the Indian Army for successfully testing the system. Moreover, he described it as an important step towards achieving self-reliance in developing modern technology-based defence systems. DRDO Chairman Sameer V. Kamat also congratulated the teams associated with the test.

Vikramaditya called her controversial queen

Actress-turned-politician Kangana further said, “This is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s new India, where a small, poor boy selling tea is the biggest hero and “pradhan sevak” of the people.” This comment about Kangana comes after Vikramaditya Singh called Kangana a ‘controversial queen’. Vikramaditya stated that her statements would be subject to periodic questioning.

Vikramaditya Singh commented on Kangana’s alleged remarks on consuming beef. He stated that he hoped Lord Ram would bless her with wisdom.

Groupism was exposed during a Congress Party meeting in Kota

Groupism comes in front of the public during a Congress party meeting in Kota. Congress held a meeting in the party office on Friday regarding preparations for the Lok Sabha elections. Groupism has come to the fore in this. In the meeting, sharp words were exchanged between Congress candidate Prahlad Gunjal and former minister and senior leader Shanti Dhariwal.

Supporters of both created a ruckus in the middle of the meeting and raised slogans against each other. Slogans of Murdabad were also raised. Within a short time, the atmosphere turned sour. Because of the strong opposition, Gunjal had to leave the meeting. After this Dhariwal also left the meeting. With Gunjal coming to Congress, the internal factionalism in the party office came out into the open.

The address of Gunjal and other officials had been completed in the meeting and Dhariwal was to address last, but at first, Dhariwal refused to address the meeting. But the workers requested that he will have to say two words.

Groupism came to the fore after Dhariwal demand

As soon as Dhariwal took over the mike, he said that Gunjal Saab should publicly apologize for the false allegations of corruption regarding the Chambal River Front and the wrong construction of the riverfront. Moreover, he asked Gunjal that all the allegations he made while in the BJP were wrong and false. Furthermore, he said that NGT has also accepted the construction of the Chambal River Front as correct.

Read Prahlad Gunjal of BJP Joined the Cong ress

Gunjal did not apologize for this. Just said that after joining Congress the allegations were over. Dhariwal got angry about this and said in clear words that he would have to apologise. While Dhariwal was speaking, Gunjal stood up angrily. Seeing this, Gunjal’s supporters started raising slogans against Dhariwal.

Meanwhile, former city general secretary Sanjay Yadav, Deputy Mayor Sonu Qureshi, Chetan and many other supporters of Dhariwal also stood up and started raising slogans against Gunjal. This heated the atmosphere. Meanwhile, city president Ravindra Tyagi and state president of Mahila Congress Rakhi Gautam started explaining, but sloganeering continued from both sides. When the matter escalated, Gunjal left the meeting midway.

Gunjal has to leave Hinduism and become secular

Dhariwal said amid the uproar that the party from which Gunjal Saheb has come is a staunch Hindutva advocate. While Congress is a secular party. In such a situation, Gunjal will have to be secular. Gunjal did not say anything about this.

It is noteworthy that Gunjal had gone to Dhariwal’s house and met him on Thursday night. After that, there was talk in political circles that their differences had ended. But differences have again come to the fore in the party meeting. Groupism came to the fore in the meeting called to show unity.

Dhariwal told Prahlad Gunjal that after coming to Congress, you should now say that the allegations I had made against Dhariwal are wrong. After coming to Congress, you should now become secular. Prahlad Gunjal got angry on this matter.

Delhi CM remand extended despite big expose of scam

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has been sent to Rouse Avenue Court on ED remand till April 1. Now the decision regarding his bail and jail will be taken on 1st April. Kejriwal was presented in the court today on Thursday. The investigating agency had sought a remand of 7 days from the court. His previous remand (Arvind Kejriwal ED Remand) was ending.

Before that, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was arrested for a Delhi liquor scam on the 21st of March 2024. For more details read here. After his arrest, he was presented in court and was sent on remand for six days.

In this hearing, ASG SV Raju and special counsel Zoheb Hussain appeared through VC on behalf of the Enforcement Directorate. Senior lawyer Ramesh Gupta appeared in the court on behalf of Kejriwal. Additionally, Delhi Police had tightened security arrangements for the appearance of the Delhi Chief Minister. Police were already on alert at many places.

Delhi CM Kejriwal is not giving the password of digital data

The Enforcement Directorate has alleged that digital data is to be taken from Kejriwal. Moreover, he did not give the password of Data’s device. Furthermore, along with this, many people are yet to be interrogated face to face. In such a situation, seven more days of custody should be given.

Sunita Kejriwal claimed

Before that, Sunita Kejriwal wife of Arvind Kejriwal claimed that he would reveal the whereabouts of the funds. The CM’s wife, Sunita, said on Wednesday that her husband will make a “big revelation” on the alleged excise policy scam. Moreover, he will also present evidence.

Today Delhi CM Kejriwal revealed it with the due permission of the court. ASG Sv Raju said it is irrelevant.

After listening the court extended the remand for four days.

Delhi High Court decision on Delhi CM petition

The briefing of Sunita Kejriwal came on a day when the Delhi High Court heard Kejriwal’s plea challenging his arrest by the ED. His petition demanded his immediate release from ED arrest and subsequent remand.

However, in the court, the ED sought more time to prepare its reply to the petition. It was argued that the petition was given on Tuesday itself and he should be given three more weeks. Furthermore, Kejriwal’s counsel, senior advocate AM Singhvi, argued that ED’s asking for more time was just a delay tactic.

Delhi HC rejected Kejriwal’s interim plea to be released from ED custody. Moreover, Delhi HC asked to submit a reply on the 3rd of April 2024. The next hearing will be done on the 3rd of April 2024.

Sadanand Vasant Date will be the new NIA Chief

Sadanand Vasant Date is remembered for his bravery during the 26/11 attacks. He fought with Ajmal Kasab and his Lashkar-e-Taiba associate Abu Ismail, injuring him and restraining him until he fell unconscious.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Sadanand Vasant Date has been appointed Director General of the National Investigation Agency (NIA). His tenure will last till his superannuation on December 31, 2026. He will replace Dinkar Gupta, who is scheduled to retire on March 31.

Sadanand Vasant Date is an IPS officer of the Maharashtra cadre of the 1990 batch. It was because of his intelligence and bravery that Kasab was caught alive. After 16 years, he is appointed as the National Investigation Agency (NIA) chief on Wednesday. This agency came into existence after the three-day-long planned terrorist attack on Mumbai.

Role of Sadanand Vasant Date during the terrorist attack on Mumbai on 26/11

On that fateful night of November 26, 2008, Date, the then Additional Commissioner of Police, Central Zone, received a call that terrorists were firing indiscriminately near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST). 10 terrorists had entered Mumbai in a boat and spread across the city. This attack resulted in 18 brave sacrifices including senior Mumbai Police IPS officers Hemant Karkare and Ashok Kamte.

By the time Date and his team reached CST, both terrorists Kasab and Ismail had left the place and had taken over the rooftop of the nearby Cama Hospital. The team followed them till there. They knew that two people were there, but they had no information about the arms and ammunition present with the terrorists.

However, the team led by Sadanand Vasant Date decided to take on both of them. The team’s quick response and decisive actions played a vital role in keeping the patients at the hospital, including a large number of women and children, safe. Despite being badly injured, he continued firing on the two terrorists besides informing other senior officers about their location.
