The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab termed the election of Sukhbir Singh Badal as the president of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), a complete farce. AAP Senior Leader Harpal Singh Cheema said, “Akali Dal can never move forward under the leadership of Sukhbir Singh Badal. What they got today is not a genuine leader but a fake president chosen solely on the basis of power, family control, and money. There is no democracy left in their party. The people of Punjab have already rejected them before, and history will repeat itself. SAD has become nothing more than a private limited company of the Badal family, with no regard for public sentiment or democratic principles.”

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Member of Parliament Malvinder Singh Kang has sharply criticized the appointment of Sukhbir Singh Badal as the president of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), calling it a continuation of the Badal family’s dominance over the party. Kang stated that the prolonged drama surrounding SAD's leadership culminated in a decision that was evident from the beginning—that the presidency would remain with the family.

US researchers have found a new method that may help in monitoring cancer from blood tests more easily and accurately.

The study, led by researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center, in the US, showed that the method may be useful for monitoring disease status in patients following treatment.

The method, based on whole-genome sequencing of DNA, also represents an important step toward the goal of routine blood test-based screening for early cancer detection.

"We're now entering an era of low-cost DNA sequencing, and in this study, we took advantage of that to apply whole-genome sequencing techniques that in the past would have been considered wildly impractical," said Dr. Dan Landau, Professor of Medicine, at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Lucknow Super Giants pulled things back in their favour with some excellent bowling after fifties by openers Shubman Gill (60) and Sai Sudharsan (53) and restricted Gujarat Titans to 180/6 in 20 overs in Match 26 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Saturday.

Spinner Ravi Bishnoi and pacer Shardul Thakur struck twice each, while Avesh Khan and Digvesh Rathi claimed a wicket each as LSG came back to prevent table-toppers Gujarat Titans from posting a big total.

Asked to bat first, Gujarat once again relied on the excellent technique on display by openers Gill and Sudharsan as the duo put up an opening stand of 120 runs to lay the foundation for a big total.

Sudharsan, who is the current occupant of the Orange Cap, showed his intent from the very first delivery when he played a late cut off Shardul Thakur to find the boundary. The duo racked up six boundaries and one six in the Power-play, while rotating the strike, to reach 54/0 as the field restrictions were lifted.
