New Delhi, Feb 2: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal - who had been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate for the fifth time - will not appear before the probe agency for questioning in the Delhi liquor policy case today.

This comes after Arvind Kejriwal skipped January 19 questioning, saying that the summons issued by the ED were illegal and its only aim is to arrest him.

Mr Kejriwal, also the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief, had refused to appear before the probe agency on three earlier summons for November 2, December 21 and January 3 as well.

The AAP has slammed the agency's actions as "politically motivated" and "unlawful". The AAP has slammed the agency's actions as "politically motivated" and "unlawful". "PM Modi's aim is to arrest Arvind Kejriwal and topple the Delhi government. We will not allow this to happen," the party said in a statement.
    
The AAP chief had been questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the case in April, but had not been made an accused by the agency.

Ever since the first summons was issued by the Enforcement Directorate, there has been intense speculation that the Delhi chief minister would be arrested by the agency after his questioning.

With three of its leaders -- Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and Satyendra Jain -- behind the bars, AAP has long been anticipating the eventuality and has discussed the possible courses of action. They even want Mr Kejriwal to remain the Chief Minister and do his job from jail.

The CBI contends that liquor companies were involved in framing the excise policy, which would have brought them a 12 per cent profit. A liquor lobby it dubbed the "South Group" had paid kickbacks, part of which was routed to public servants. The Enforcement Directorate alleged laundering of the kickbacks.

The BJP has alleged that the proceeds of the alleged scam were used by the AAP to fund its large-scale campaign in Gujarat, in which it got a 12.91 per cent votes and established itself as a national party.

Whether it's years of accumulated belongings or large-scale clutter that has become overwhelming, professional junk removal services can help restore order.

Many people struggle with parting ways with possessions, which is why hiring experienced professionals is the best option. Jiffy Junk is just a call away, offering full-service junk removal in Queens to help residents reclaim their living spaces. This guide will explore top-rated services, benefits, pricing, and how to choose the best option for hoarding and heavy clutter removal.

Hoarding and Heavy Clutter: Understanding the Challenge

What Defines Hoarding?
Hoarding is more than just a messy home—it’s a serious condition where people struggle to discard items, leading to an overwhelming accumulation of clutter. This can happen gradually or quickly, making a home unsafe over time. Many hoarders don’t recognize the problem, while others feel too emotionally attached to their belongings to let go. Junk removal Queens services offer a structured and professional approach to clearing out excessive clutter, ensuring items are removed in a respectful and systematic way.

The Emotional and Physical Impact of Clutter
Living in a cluttered home isn’t just inconvenient—it can be dangerous. Piles of junk create fire hazards, attract pests, and increase the risk of injuries. Dust, mold, and bacteria can accumulate, causing allergies, respiratory issues, and other health concerns. The more clutter there is, the harder it becomes to clean and maintain a safe living space.

Emotionally, hoarding can lead to feelings of shame, stress, and social isolation. Many hoarders avoid having guests over, which can lead to loneliness. Junk removal Queens services provide a way to clear out unwanted items efficiently, helping individuals regain control of their homes and mental well-being. Jiffy Junk is just a call away to assist with heavy cleanouts and hoarding situations.

Why DIY Decluttering Isn’t Always the Best Option
Trying to tackle extreme clutter alone can be overwhelming. Heavy lifting, large furniture removal, and the emotional attachment to items can make the process exhausting. Hoarded homes often contain hazardous materials, from rotting food to sharp objects, making self-cleaning unsafe.

Many people start decluttering with good intentions but get discouraged when they see the sheer amount of work required. Junk removal Queens companies have the right equipment, training, and manpower to handle even the most severe hoarding situations.

Junk removal Queens professionals use proper lifting techniques and equipment to remove even the heaviest objects without causing injuries. Jiffy Junk is just a call away to handle all aspects of hoarding cleanup, making the process hassle-free.

Compassionate and Discreet Services

Many hoarders fear judgment, which stops them from seeking help. However, junk removal Queens services prioritize a compassionate approach, ensuring every client feels supported. Jiffy Junk is just a call away for those who need a judgment-free, professional team to restore their living space.

Israel has prevented tens of thousands of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank from entering the holy land of Jerusalem to celebrate a Christian festivity at the city’s churches.

The Palestinian WAFA news agency reported that only a limited number of Palestinian Christians were able to attend celebrations in al-Quds for the Palm Sunday feast day. 

Israeli forces issued only 6,000 permits for West Bank Christians, although the population exceeds 50,000, the report added.

The occupation’s soldiers imposed strict measures at checkpoints surrounding al-Quds and its Old City, home to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

“This is the second consecutive year that only a small number of pilgrims are able to participate in Holy Week and Easter celebrations in al-Quds, due to the ongoing conflict,” said Father Ibrahim Faltas, deputy head of the Custody of the Holy Land.

Christians in the Gaza Strip commemorated Palm Sunday at Saint Porphyrius Greek Orthodox Church, just hours after an Israeli aerial assault on the nearby al-Ahli Arab hospital.

In a statement, the Gaza-based Hamas resistance group censured Israel for restricting West Bank Palestinians’ access to al-Quds.

The Israeli move is a part of a broader racist and fascist policy aimed at isolating Palestinians from their homeland and holy sites, it added.

Hamas also called on all churches across the world to condemn the occupation and its ongoing attacks on freedom of worship and access to holy sites.

It further urged the international community to take serious steps towards ending Israel’s genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, which is aimed at annihilating Palestinians and liquidating their cause.

Israel launched its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7, 2023, after Hamas carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

After one and a half years of war, the Tel Aviv regime has failed to achieve its declared objectives in the besieged territory, despite killing at least 50,944 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 116,156 others.

Washington: In a move that stunned markets and political observers alike, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a 90-day pause on his sweeping tariff regime—granting relief to all countries except China. Just a day earlier, such a reversal had seemed unimaginable.

Trump said the pause was prompted by the cooperative stance of over 75 nations, which had refrained from retaliating against his earlier tariffs. These countries, he claimed, chose negotiation over confrontation. During the pause, a reduced reciprocal tariff of 10% will be in place.

However, Trump made it clear that China would face no such leniency. Citing Beijing's alleged trade abuses and “lack of respect” for global markets, he announced an immediate hike in tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%, up from the earlier 104%.

“At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the US and other countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Despite repeatedly resisting pressure from within his own party and business circles to halt the tariff spree, Trump’s sudden pivot was reportedly triggered by alarm bells inside the US Treasury Department. According to CNN, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent raised red flags about a dramatic selloff in the bond market, which, if left unchecked, could spiral into a financial crisis.

Speaking to the media after the announcement, Trump seemed to suggest that the decision came from instinct rather than strategy.

“We didn’t have access to lawyers… We wrote it up from our hearts. You have to be flexible,” he said.

The markets responded instantly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged over 2,500 points, while the Nasdaq jumped 12.2%, its best day in 24 years. The S&P 500 rose 6%, oil prices climbed more than 4%, and the dollar strengthened.

Impact on India

India, which had been hit with a 26% customized reciprocal tariff, saw its markets rattled in recent weeks. The pause offers a much-needed breather, as New Delhi works to finalize a multi-sectoral trade deal with Washington.

Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed that talks are underway. “We hope to address these issues and conclude this agreement expeditiously,” he said, underlining the strong economic ties between the two nations.
