Congress claims Kejriwal stole '128 cr' from Pannun and backed 'Khalistanis'.

In a recent escalation of political tensions ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, Congress has leveled serious allegations against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, claiming that he accepted significant financial support from the banned organization Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). Congress leader Ajay Maken accused Kejriwal of receiving approximately ₹128 crore (around $16 million) from Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the founder of SFJ, which is known for advocating Khalistani separatism.

Allegations of Financial Misconduct:
During a press conference, Maken asserted that this funding was instrumental in helping the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) secure victories in Punjab elections. He criticized Kejriwal for not denying these claims and suggested that AAP leaders, including Raghav Chadha, had maintained regular contact with Pannun. The allegations are particularly damaging as they come amidst ongoing concerns about rising extremism and lawlessness in Punjab, linked to Khalistani activities.

Kejriwal's Response:
As of now, AAP has not issued a formal rebuttal to these allegations. However, party spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang dismissed the claims as fabrications aimed at defaming AAP. He suggested that Pannun's rise to prominence coincides with the BJP's political maneuvers against anti-Modi forces, indicating a broader strategy to undermine opposition parties.

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan recently hosted a special screening of his son Junaid Khan’s upcoming film Loveyapa at Excel Entertainment’s office in Khar, Mumbai. During the event, a lighthearted moment unfolded when Aamir insisted cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar take center stage in a group photo. As attendees gathered for the picture, Aamir humorously told his son, “Arrre, let Sachin be in the middle,” emphasizing Tendulkar’s prominence.

The gathering included notable figures like MNS leader Raj Thackeray, reflecting a blend of Bollywood, sports, and political personalities. This event highlights Aamir’s long-standing admiration for Tendulkar, whom he earlier called his “No. 1 favourite cricketer” while recalling memories of India’s 2011 World Cup win and Tendulkar’s retirement match.

Riot Games is set to launch the 2025 Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Season Capsule on February 6, 2025, at 2 PM PST. This new in-game collection aims to enhance the esports experience for players while financially supporting partnered teams and leagues. The capsule will be available until the conclusion of the Masters Bangkok event, which runs from February 20 to March 2.

Contents of the Season Capsule:
The 2025 VCT Season Capsule features several exciting items:
VCT Karambit: This sleek melee weapon is notable for being the first skin with five chroma options, each representing one of the four International Leagues (Pacific, EMEA, Americas, and China) alongside a fifth that embodies the overall VCT theme. At Level 3, top fraggers will enjoy a special glow effect when using it.

Regional Player Cards: Four animated player cards celebrate the unique identities of each International League, allowing players to showcase their regional pride.
Gun Buddies: The capsule includes four reactive charms that represent each region. These gun buddies activate visually when fired, adding an interactive element to gameplay.

Financial Impact on Esports:
A significant aspect of the Season Capsule is its commitment to supporting esports organizations financially. A portion of the proceeds from sales will be distributed among all teams in the VCT. This initiative builds on Riot's previous success with esports cosmetics, where fans generated over $44 million for partnered teams in 2024 alone. The introduction of this capsule aims to create a more equitable distribution of funds among teams, addressing disparities observed in past Team Capsule sales.

Purchasing Details:
Players can purchase the 2025 VCT Season Capsule through the in-game store using VALORANT Points, which are the game's premium currency. While Riot has not disclosed an official price yet, previous exclusive tier items have ranged from approximately $25 to $60 USD. The capsule will be prominently featured in the store during its availability period.
