The question is why Arvind Kejriwal is afraid? He also knows that he has been fully involved and has a strong hand in such a big scam, not only from the Delhi Jal Board but also to the company to which he had given the tender. There is a scam in that too. Arvind Kejriwal knows that all these scandals have taken place under his watch and by him, that is why he is scared and that is why when the summons are being presented, he is making excuses. Now they are making excuses that they need relief. Why are they so sure that they will be arrested. He knows that he is involved and because of this fear, he is doing so. He wants to get sympathy. What is going on in his mind? He thinks that people cannot understand but everyone knows why this whole drama is happening

Gaps are narrowing in Israel-Hamas cease-fire talks, Blinken says during Mideast visit
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the “gaps are narrowing” in indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas over another cease-fire and hostage release that the U.S., Egypt and Qatar have spent several weeks trying to broker.
Blinken’s sixth visit to the region since the start of the Israel-Hamas war began in Saudi Arabia and will take him to Egypt on Thursday and Israel on Friday. In an interview Wednesday with the Al-Hadath network in Saudi Arabia, Blinken said the mediators worked with Israel to put a “strong proposal” on the table. He said Hamas rejected it, but came back with other demands that the mediators are working on.
“The gaps are narrowing, and I think an agreement is very much possible,” Blinken said.
At least 31,819 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count but says women and children make up two-thirds of the dead. A United Nations food agency warned that “famine is imminent” in northern Gaza.
Palestinian militants killed some 1,200 people in the surprise Oct. 7 attack out of Gaza that triggered the war, and abducted another 250 people. Hamas is still believed to be holding some 100 people hostage, as well as the remains of 30 others.

Trump faces panic as deadline looms for half-billion-dollar bond in fraud case
Former President Donald Trump finds himself in a state of heightened concern as the looming deadline approaches to secure a substantial bond to appeal his civil fraud case in New York, CNN reported.
Panic mode has set in for Trump as he grapples with the task of obtaining a half-billion-dollar bond, CNN reported citing multiple sources familiar with his situation.
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding an insurance company willing to underwrite his USD 454 million bond, Trump's legal team has been working tirelessly to explore various avenues. Privately, Trump had pinned his hopes on Chubb, the insurer behind his previous USD 91.6 million bond in the E Jean Carroll judgment. However, hopes were dashed when Chubb informed his attorneys that this option was no longer viable.
In a bid to secure the necessary funds, Trump's team has reached out to affluent supporters and considered the possibility of selling assets quickly. The weight of the approaching March 25 deadline is palpable, particularly for Trump, whose image has long been intertwined with his wealth. Concerns over the optics of facing a financial crisis have only intensified Trump's anxiety, according to CNN.
