Pakistan: 11 killed in clashes between police, TLP protesters

Leave a comment

**Pakistan: 11 Killed in Clashes Between Police and TLP Protesters**

*By Snehil Singh | October 11, 2025, 05:04 PM*

Violent clashes erupted in Lahore on Saturday between police forces and protesters from the hardline Islamist group Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP). The unrest began when authorities attempted to stop TLP demonstrators from marching toward Islamabad in support of a pro-Palestinian rally.

### Protests Sparked by Gaza Conflict

The protests started on Thursday in response to Israel’s recent actions in Gaza and escalated with what TLP termed the “Gaza March.” Thousands of protesters marched from Multan Road in Lahore toward Islamabad, chanting religious slogans and carrying sticks and rods.

### Escalation and Casualties

TLP, led by chief Saad Rizvi, accused Punjab police of firing “indiscriminately,” resulting in the deaths of 11 protesters and injuring over 50 others. These casualty figures have not been independently verified by police authorities.

### Police Tactics to Control Protesters

In an effort to control the demonstrations, the police used tear gas and set up barricades at key intersections including Yateem Khana Chowk, Chauburji, Azadi Chowk, and Shahdara. Despite these measures, protesters breached several barriers and continued their advance.

Videos circulating on social media showed TLP activists occupying portions of the Orange Line Metro track and hurling stones at police officers. Clashes intensified particularly near Lahore’s Azadi Chowk, where several police vehicles were set on fire.

### Statements from Protest Leaders

A TLP leader’s viral video claimed, “11 TLP people have been killed since the morning. Continuous shelling and firing is happening,” highlighting the scale of the violent confrontations.

### Context Amid International Developments

These clashes come at a significant moment as Israel and Hamas have agreed to a Gaza peace deal, mediated by US President Donald Trump.

### Government Response

Pakistan’s Minister of State for Interior, Talal Chaudhry, condemned TLP for “misusing” the Gaza issue for “political gain.” He warned that the government would not tolerate violence or blackmail from any group.

An anti-terrorism court in Lahore has placed 110 TLP activists in police custody on charges including attacking officers and damaging public property.

The situation remains tense as authorities and protesters remain at odds over the handling of the demonstrations. Further developments are awaited.

Mutual funds pump ₹6,420cr in IPOs during September quarter

Leave a comment

**Mutual Funds Pump ₹6,420 Crore into IPOs During September Quarter**

*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 11, 2025, 05:29 PM*

Indian mutual funds invested ₹6,420 crore in initial public offerings (IPOs) during the July-September quarter of 2025, marking a 13% increase from the previous quarter. This notable surge in investment is attributed to steady inflows into equity schemes via systematic investment plans (SIPs) and lump-sum investments.

According to data from the PRIME Database, mutual funds have played a crucial role in anchoring IPOs, with their participation as anchor investors rising by 32% to ₹5,129 crore last quarter.

### Surge in Large Issuances

Mutual funds’ investment in IPOs through qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) increased significantly, rising 13% from ₹5,689 crore in the June quarter to ₹6,420 crore in the September quarter. This growth is largely driven by a surge in large issuances over recent months.

The number of fresh issuances also jumped sharply to 46 from just 15 in the previous quarter, reflecting a more vibrant IPO market.

### Mutual Funds as Key Anchor Investors

Mutual funds play a vital role as anchor investors in IPOs. They commit to holding 50% of their shares for 30 days and the remaining shares for 90 days. This lock-in period requirement distinguishes them from non-anchor QIBs, which do not have any mandatory lock-in.

Despite market volatility and subdued benchmark index returns this year, investors continue to place strong confidence in mutual funds. Many see them as a strategic way to tap into India’s long-term growth story.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is now a Donald Trump supporter

**Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff Now a Supporter of Donald Trump**

*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 11, 2025, 2:26 PM*

Marc Benioff, the billionaire CEO of Salesforce, has surprised many with a dramatic shift in his political stance. In a recent interview with *The New York Times*, Benioff expressed his full support for President Donald Trump and suggested that National Guard troops should patrol the streets of San Francisco. This new position marks a sharp departure from his previous liberal-leaning views and philanthropic efforts in the city.

**Unexpected Support**

During the interview, Benioff openly praised Elon Musk for his efforts to enhance government efficiency. He also recounted a moment from a Windsor Castle state dinner where he told President Trump, “how grateful I am for everything he’s doing.” Interestingly, Benioff admitted that he had not been closely following news about immigration raids or Trump’s media controversies.

**A Reflection of a Broader Trend**

Benioff’s political transformation aligns with a growing trend in Silicon Valley toward accepting Trump. However, the interview also highlighted potential tensions within his inner circle. When his public relations executive reacted to the political questions, Benioff noticed and asked, “What about the political questions? Too spicy?” This exchange suggests that not everyone around him shares his new political views.

Marc Benioff’s shift marks a significant moment in tech and political circles, signaling evolving attitudes that could have broader implications for the industry and its relationship with government policies.

2025年10月10日、自民党の高市総裁との会談に向かう公明党の斉藤代表（中央）＝国会にて。

公明党は、自民党との連立離脱に伴い、立憲民主党を中心とした野党間協議に参加する方向で調整を進めていることが、11日に関係者から明らかになりました。

党幹部によると、企業・団体献金の規制強化をはじめとする政治改革や、選択的夫婦別姓制度の導入などの課題で野党各党と連携していく方針です。

今回の動きは、公明党がこれまでの連立政権から距離を置き、より幅広い政治勢力と協議を図る姿勢を示すものとみられます。
