Continuing her attack against industrialist Gautam Adani, firebrand Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has said that she never alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was involved in the stock manipulation controversy involving the Adani Group but it is now clear that the former ''fooled'' the honourable Prime Minister. Firing a fresh salvo at Gautam Adani, Moitra took to Twitter and tweeted, “Oh & (by the way) Mr Adani, Sir - don’t waste time sending all your Delhi stooges behind me .” 

She also maintained that she was not being funded by Mukesh Ambani and that she has never met anyone from the Ambani family. “I am NOT being funded by Reliance. Never met any Ambani, junior or senior in my life. Nor their employees,” adding, “Hard as you may find to believe, some of us are simply anti-market manipulation.”

India has emerged as a quick responder to the devastation in Turkey and Syria after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the countries on February 6. India’s swift response led to the first C-17 Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft with a specialised Search & Rescue (SAR) team leaving for Türkiye within hours of a request of assistance being received.

Indian officials have been on active mode ever since the first report of the massive earthquake surfaced, killing over 17,000 so far.

It all began at 7:30-8 on Monday morning when external affairs minister S Jaishankar had a meeting in South Block at 10 am, and around 11:30 am, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself had tweeted expressing anguish at the loss of lives and property and expressing his condolences for Turkey.

The Dutch researcher who allegedly predicted the massive earthquakes that jolted parts of Turkey and Syria and left over 17,000 people dead, has now declared that Asian countries are 'next in line'. In a video that has since gone viral, Frank Hogerbeets could be seen predicting a major earthquake that will erupt in Afghanistan and ultimately end in the Indian Ocean after crossing Pakistan and India.

A Twitter user shared Frank's video with the caption, "Dutch researcher @hogrbe who anticipated the quake in #Turkey and #Syria three days ago had also predicted seismic activity anticipating a large size earthquake originating in #Afghanistan, through #Pakistan and #India eventually terminating into the Indian Ocean."
