US to halt family migration New Trump’s rule to enable US immigration authorities to hold migrant families indefinitely IANS, WASHINGTON

he Donald Trump administration on Wednesday announced a new rule enabling US immigration authorities to hold migrant families indefinitely, thus ending the Flores Settlement Agreement that prevents detained children from being held more than 20 days. The Department of Homeland Security announced the change in a statement with acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan saying: “This rule allows the federal government to enforce immigration laws as passed by Congress.” The rule ending the Flores Settlement Agreement, which has been in place since 1997, will be published in the Federal Register on Friday and will enter into force 60 days later, if approved by the courts, the Efe news reported. The Flores agreement establishes that undocumented minors being held in US custody must be provided with housing, medical attention, education, nutrition and proper hygiene, and judicial rulings have prohibited the US government from holding families

with children for more than 20 days. McAleenan said that the new rule is designed to target a 2015 “reinterpretation of the Flores Settlement Agreement” in which a California district court ruled that accompanied minors are subject to the same detention limits as unaccompanied minors. That 2015 ruling “has generally forced the government to release families into the country after just

‘India, others must fight terrorists in Afghanistan’ WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has said that countries like India, Pakistan, Iran, Russia and Turkey would have to fight against terrorists in Afghanistan at some point of time, lamenting that Washington was the “only one fighting against terrorism” in the war-torn nation. His comments came a day after he indicated that complete withdrawal of the US forces from Afghanistan won’t happen until Washington ensures that Taliban does not regain control. Responding to a question on the reemergence of the Islamic State (IS) in Afghanistan, Trump told the reporters at the White House on Wednesday: “At a certain point Russia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey they are going to have to fight their battles too. “We wiped out the caliphate 100 per cent. I did it in record time but at a certain point all of these other countries where ISIS is around they have been decimated by the way, badly decimated.” The US President said that despite being 7,000 miles away,

Despite being 7,000 miles away, only the US is fighting the terrorists in Afghanistan, says Trump.

only the US is fighting the terrorists in Afghanistan whereas India and Pakistan being right next door are fighting it “very little”. “We haven’t been hearing much about IS. We took the caliphate 100 per cent. When I took it at 98 per cent I said all right, maybe we go home now, let these other countries in. Everyone went crazy. They said do 100 per cent. They said it was going to take a year. It took me a month and they are gone,” he said. Trump also said that the US is holding thousands of IS fighters and now Europe has to take them.

20 days, incentivizing illegal entry, adding to the growing backlog in immigration proceedings, and often delaying immigration proceedings for many years,” said McAleenan. McAleenan said on Twitter in a series of posts that the government’s so-called Flores Final Rule “allows DHS to keep families together during fair and expeditious immigration proceedings, and eliminates a key incentive that

encourages traffickers to exploit children.” He added that “Today’s action addresses a court-imposed weakness in immigration law that prevented DHS from detaining a family together for more than 20 days and codifies critical commitments on the conditions for children in Federal care.” Although it has taken steps to halt the migrant flow, the Trump administration has increased its efforts since in May a record of 1,32,870 undocumented migrants were detained on the border with Mexico, of whom 84,491 were in family groups, which authorities define as individuals accompanied by a minor, a parent or a legal guardian. US immigration authorities say that they have found cases of minors being used by unrelated adults to illegally enter the country, knowing that the authorities must release their “family group” within 20 days. DHS said on Wednesday that the Flores agreement originally was to have remained in force for no more than five years but it has been extended without previous administrations adopting a definitive rule.

Trump may ‘end’ birthright citizenship WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his administration is seriously considering an executive order to end birthright citizenship. “We’re looking at that very seriously,” Trump told reporters. “Birthright citizenship, where you have a baby on our land walk over the border, have a baby, congratulations, the baby’s now a US citizen,” said the President. “It’s, frankly, ridiculous.” Trump promised ending the birthright citizenship during his 2016 presidential campaign and once revived the idea last year, according to a report of The Hill. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan unveiled new policies which will allow the government to detain families crossing the US-Mexico border longer than before. The policy change could permit authorities to detain families through the duration of their immigration proceedings.

Trump renews attack on Denmark IANS, WASHINGTON

S President Donald Trump has again tore into Denmark for shunning him. “I thought that the Prime Minister’s statement was nasty,” Trump told the press on Wednesday, referring to Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Xinhua reported. “It was an inappropriate statement. All she has to do is say ‘no, we wouldn’t be interested’,” Trump said. “Because she’s not talking to me, she’s talking to the United States of America. You don’t talk to the United States that way, at least not under me,” he added. US news outlets recently cited official sources as saying that Trump had considered making a bid to purchase Greenland, an idea Trump later confirmed. Trump said Greenland had strategic interest for the US, defending his position by saying that previous US Presidents had also floated the idea. In a stern response, Frederiksen called the idea “absurd,” triggering a backlash from Trump. Trump later continued the rant on Twitter, blasting Copenhagen

Trump said Greenland had strategic interest for the US, saying that previous US Presidents also floated the idea for not spending enough on military as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation

(NATO). “For the record, Denmark is only at 1.35 per cent of GDP for NATO spending. They are a wealthy country and should be at 2 per cent,” Trump tweeted. “These countries have agreed to pay ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS more -- but still way short of what they should pay for the incredible military protection provided,” read another tweet. Trump announced postponing a scheduled visit to Denmark in early September.

Chidambaram in CBI custody

The senior Congress leader was taken to the CBI headquarters minutes after his press conference where he said he was ‘not hiding from the law but seeking protection of the law’ RAJNISH SINGH, NEW DELHI

Modi government using CBI, ED: Rahul

live demonstration of fate taking a twist can be seen in the case of former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, arrested by the CBI in the INX Media case. The senior Congress leader, who himself inaugurated the present CBI headquarters in 2011, had to spend Wednesday night in the same building after the agency arrested him over alleged money laundering in the INX Media case. Chidambaram was then the Union Home Minister during the UPA-II government led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He served as Home Minister during November 2008 to July 2012. The senior Congress leader was the key guest along with Manmohan Singh during the June 30,

1st encounter in J&K after Art 370 revoked SRINAGAR: An SPO of Jammu and Kashmir police was killed while another cop was injured in an encounter with terrorists in Baramulla district on Tuesday night. Cops also gunned down a terrorist during the encounter whose identity is yet to be established. The martyred SPO has been identified by the police as Billal. The police said the injured subinspector, Amardeep Parihar, has been admitted to a hospital for treatment. The gun battle between security forces and armed militants, which had begun on Tuesday evening, had continued into the night. At 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, the Jammu and Kashmir police tweeted that the encounter was over. “Encounter is over. One terrorist killed. Identity being ascertained. Arms and ammunition recovered. Our colleague SPO Billal attained martyrdom. SI Amardeep Parihar injured in the incident is being treated at Army Hospital,” stated the police in the tweet. Security agencies were involved in heavy exchange of gunfire with the terrorists in the encounter. The firing had begun with the militants at around 5 p.m. in Old Baramullah and the area was cordoned off for the public. This was the first encounter between security forces and terrorists ever since the Union government abrogated special category status to Jammu and Kashmir on August 5 by reading down Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday accused the Modi government of using the CBI and ED and “sections of a spineless media” to character assassinate the Rajya Sabha member. His remarks came as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) visited Chidambaram’s residence four times following the Delhi High Court’s rejection of his anticipatory bail plea in the INX Media money laundering case. However, there’s no trace of him. The Delhi High Court passed the order on Tuesday. —IANS

“not hiding from the law but seeking protection of the law.” The seven-time Lok Sabha MP and now Rajya Sabha member, Chidambaram, the CBI and the ED claimed was untraceable since the Delhi High Court on Tuesday rejected his anticipatory bail plea in the INX Media case prompting him to approach the Supreme Court challenging the order and seeking relief from arrest. The ED and the CBI are probing how Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram managed to get FIPB clearance in 2007 when his father was Finance Minister. A special CBI court on August 22 sent Chidambaram to CBI’s custody till August 26. Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar announced the order after reserving it for some time following the hearing.

Assessing damage in flood-hit areas: Shah IANS, PANAJI

Trump urges Modi, Imran to reduce tensions over Kashmir

Rumors spread like wildfire in Jammu claiming that a communal flare-up had taken place in Surankote in Rajouri district. (Photo: IANS)

US President conveyed to Khan the importance of India and Pak reducing tension through bilateral dialogue IANS, WASHINGTON/NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD

S President Donald Trump has urged his “two good friends”, Prime Ministers Narendra Modi of India and Pakistan’s Imran Khan, to work towards reducing tensions over Kashmir. He also advised Pakistan to “moderate rhetoric with India” over Kashmir. In a tweet, Trump said though Kashmir was a “tough situation”, he had “good conversations” with both the leaders. “Spoke to my two good friends, Prime Minister Modi of India, and Prime Minister Khan of Pakistan, regarding trade, strategic partnerships and, most importantly, for India and Pakistan to work towards reducing tensions in Kashmir. A tough situation, but good conversations,” he tweeted. Trump first called up Modi earlier on Monday during which they held a 30-minute talk. Modi conveyed that “extreme rhetoric and incitement to antiIndia violence by certain leaders in

Narendra Modi also said he appreciated remaining in regular touch with the US President. (Photo IANS)

the region was not conducive to peace”, in a reference to the Pakistani leadership spewing anti-India venom over the Kashmir issue. Prime Minister Khan has been regularly taking to Twitter to attack Modi, calling him a fascist and racist. He has also alleged that Modi was turning India into a Hindu supremacist country, and that Muslims in the country were being disenfranchised and “RSS goons were on the rampage”.

During the call, the Indian leader also highlighted the importance of creating an environment free from terror and violence and eschewing cross-border terrorism without exception, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statment. Modi reiterated India’s commitment to cooperate with anyone who followed this path, in fighting poverty, illiteracy and disease. The conversation comes days

after the UN Security Council backed India in its efforts to bring in development in Kashmir after revoking its special status. According to a White House readout of the conversation, Trump spoke with Modi to discuss regional developments and the US-India strategic partnership. The President also conveyed the importance of reducing tensions between India and Pakistan and maintaining peace in the region. The two leaders further discussed strengthening of US-India economic ties through increased trade, and looked forward to meeting again soon, the readout added. Later, Trump called up Khan. Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Monday night said Trump made a call to Khan after his talk with Modi on the prevailing situation in Kashmir. In a press briefing in Islamabad on Monday, Qureshi said that in response to Khan’s call on August 16, Trump made a call to Narendra Modi and “expressed the desire in lowering tensions between Pakistan and India”, Radio Pakistan reported.

‘Kashmir India’s internal matter’ NEW DELHI: Newly-appointed US Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper told Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday that Kashmir was an internal matter of Mark T. Esper India and that all India-Pakistan issues need to be settled bilaterally. Rajnath Singh held a telephonic conversation with Esper on Tuesday to congratulate him on his appointment. Esper appreciated India’s position that the recent developments in Jammu and Kashmir are an internal matter of the country. Rajnath Singh also raised the issue of cross-border terrorism and appreciated US support to maintain peace and stability in the region. During the course of the conversation, Rajnath Singh invited US companies to invest in the Indian defence manufacturing sector under the Make in India programme. The ministers discussed about bilateral defence cooperation and reaffirmed their commitment to strengthen and deepen mutual relations. —IANS

IN BRIEF

Pak divided over raising Kashmir Bangladesh backs India on at International Court of Justice Kashmir, says internal matter

Around 200 schools reopen in Srinagar, but students missing

ISLAMABAD: After Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan decided to raise the Kashmir issue at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the Law Ministry is yet to frame its views on the move. Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi had said Pakistan had decided to move the ICJ on Kashmir issue and the Law Ministry would share the details soon. On Wednesday, the Ministry said no decision had been taken. A senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader told The Express Tribune that senior party leaders were in touch with Ben Emerson, a London-based lawyer, who advised Pakistan to approach the ICJ on Kashmir issue.

SRINAGAR: After a gap of nearly a fortnight, around 200 schools in Srinagar reopened this week but few students showed up. Though teachers were present in most schools, jittery parents avoided sending their children. “I can’t send my children to school. The situation is not conducive and I can’t take a risk,” said Abdul Aziz, a resident of Maharajpora in Batamaloo. Except in Kendriya Vidyalayas and the Police Public School in Bemina, there was minimal attendance in schools elsewhere in the city. “ —All stories from IANS

DHAKA: Bangladesh on Wednesday backed India on the Kashmir issue, saying that the abrogation of special status for Jammu and Kashmir is an internal issue of India. As Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar concluded his threeday visit to Dhaka, the Bangladesh Foreign Affairs Ministry, in a statement, also called for regional peace and stability.“ Bangladesh maintains that the abrogation of Article 370 by the Indian government is an internal issue of India. Bangladesh has always advocated, as a matter of principle, that maintaining regional peace and stability should be a priority for all countries.

Why Modi acted now on Kashmir? Perhaps, this was the right time to enact the best of action story for the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah Combine DEEPIKA BHAN, NEW DELHI

he question is why did Modi chose ‘now to do what he has done with Article370? There was no big election in sight so as to create a build up for electoral gain. Neither was there any major crisis or any embarrassing situation for the government to find a succour in Kashmir. Perhaps, this was the best time to enact the best of action story for the Modi-Shah Combine. The ‘now’ time had several elements going in the favor of the Combine — a stable domestic political situation, weak Pakistan, a hungry desperate Trump and preoccupied power blocs. It is said that things happen when the right time comes. History will judge whether the ‘master stroke’ is right or wrong.

Domestic Front On the domestic front, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are, for the time being, very comfortably placed as the opposition seems to have simply gone into oblivion. With Rahul Gandhi deciding to lie low, the Congress party is in its most unconfident state. The rest of the Opposition too seems to have fallen flat. With no big contender in front, the government is comfortably galloping ahead. In the NDA, all the allies

put together appear minuscule before the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and within the party, the hold of the combine is absolute. No one dare go against any decision taken by the big bosses. In Kashmir, the situation has been far better than what it was in previous years. ‘Operation All Out’ ensured that top rung terror heads were eliminated. Strong vigil on the LoC and the International Border ensured that infiltration was getting

checked. In the first five months of this year, 101 terrorists were killed including 23 foreigners. After the Pulwama suicide bombing attack, the crackdown on the terror network has been effective. The NIA action against the separatist leaders has exposed their real faces before the Kashmiris. The incarceration of hardcore separatist leaders like Asiya Andrabi, Shabbir Shah, Masrat Alam and a few others have reaffirmed the might of the

investigating agencies. The Kashmiri understands that most of the separatist leaders have been using the so-called ‘azadi movement’ for filling their coffers and settling their sons, daughters and relatives out of the state and country. After demonetisation and the crackdown on hawala operations, the Valley witnessed a drastic reduction in stone pelting incidents. In fact, Hurriyat leader Maulvi Omar Farooq, who is the top religious head of Muslims in Kashmir, had started talking about other subjects like drug addiction, and was also openly advocating for the return of the exiled Kashmiri Pandit community. He even got the Hurriyat to form a coordination committee to work for the return of the Pandit community. For the first time in 30 years, the Valley did not observe a shutdown or protests when Amit Shah reached the state after becoming the Home Minister. The central government’s ‘ back to village’ program, which saw government officials reach villages and farflung areas, was well received by the locals. Weak Pakistan At present, Pakistan’s economy is in poor shape. Inflation is around 11 per cent, the Pakistani Rupee has dropped to 160 against the dollar, forex reserves are sufficient to only

service one and half months of imports and it is in the midst of a serious twin-deficit problem. Pakistan continues to be in the FATF grey list because its domestic laws are weak to tackle money laundering and terror financing issues. FATF has categorically told Pakistan to act against terror by October or face blacklisting. It was because of the FATF hard talk that terror masterminds like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar have been put in jail and restrictions placed on their organizations. The Pakistan establishment is forced to keep its terror network under wraps, at least for the time being. This situation suits India perfectly. Trump’s Afghan Move It does not matter to US President Donald Trump that Pakistan is at the root of the problems in Afghanistan. For Trump, all he wants is to get his forces out of Afghanistan and meet his electoral commitment of getting them back before the US presidential polls in November 2020. It is obvious that Trump wants a deal with Taliban anyhow. So he met Imran Khan in Washington DC, approved a $125 million support programme for the upkeep of F16 fighter jets and, much to Pakistan’s glee, offered to mediate with India on Kashmir.

Education and its economic outgrowths National Education Policy is updated regularly to ensure equitable access to high-quality education AMIT KAPOOR, NEW DELHI

n his Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the issue of population explosion in the country and the need to address it. He added education as a means of both moderating the trend of rising population and making them productive as well. Development trends throughout history have shown that as literacy levels go up, fertility rate falls and economic growth is easier to achieve. The latter is due to the fact that with education, child progress takes place at a faster rate making the

future generation of workforce more productive. Keeping this in view, the National Education Policy (NEP) is updated regularly to ensure equitable access to high quality education to the children of the country. The most recent, NEP 2019, is still in the public domain for wider consultations. Since the country’s independence in 1947, Indian government has always sponsored a variety of programmes to address the problems of low levels of literacy rates in rural and urban India alike. The first NEP was formulated in 1968. Based on the reports and

recommendations of Kothari Commission (1964-1966), the Indira Gandhi government called for radical restructuring and equalizing educational opportunities to achieve national integration along with greater cultural and economic development. This policy laid the groundwork for all the other education policies that followed it. Focusing on compulsory education for all children till the age of 14 years and introducing the policy which promoted the three-language formula (promoting learning of regional language), it gave way to the next educational policy,

The first NEP was formulated in 1968. (Photo: IANS)

National Education Policy 1986. This policy, under the Rajiv Gandhi government focused on the inclusivity of the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) by promoting scholarships, incentives to poor families, and recruiting more teachers from the backward classes.

Due to such initiatives, India has been on track of an improved and inclusive educational condition that our society requires to provide to our next generation. Literacy rate since the time of Independence has increased from 18.33 per cent (Census 1951) to 74.04 per cent (Census 2011).

‘No quick plan to make Hyderabad 2ond capital’

Mass scrapping of ex-government’s decisions in Andhra Pradesh unprecedented MOHAMMED SHAFEEQ, HYDERABAD

hen a new government takes over, it is not unusual for it to review the decisions of the previous dispensation. But the developments Andhra Pradesh has seen recently are perhaps unprecedented. The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP)-led government, which stormed to power in the state in May with a massive mandate, is moving at rapid speed in not only Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa. (Photo: IANS)

reviewing all the major decisions taken by the previous government of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) but also scrapping many. From stopping work on development of the state capital Amaravati to renegotiating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) signed by the previous government with the producers of renewable energy and from terminating contract for one of the works of Polavaram irrigation project to closure of ‘Anna Canteens’, everything has happened in just two-and-a-half months. Immediately after taking over as

Chief Minister on May 27, Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy decided to review all the projects and announced that it would cancel the contracts and call for fresh tenders wherever the government found irregularities. He argued that reverse-tendering will bring transparency as it would facilitate participation of a large number of bidders and the tenders will be awarded to the lowest bidders. The decision kicked up controversy, for Andhra Pradesh is yet to overcome the post-bifurcation problems. After Telangana was carved

HYDERABAD: Union Minister of State for Home G. Kishan Reddy on Wednesday said there is no proposal by the Centre to make Hyderabad the second capital of the country. He dismissed the reports in a section of media, saying the Centre mooted no such proposal. “Neither was any proposal made nor was the issue discussed,” he told reporters here. The minister found fault with some television channels conducting debates on the issue. He remarked that the government does not take decisions on social media.

out with Hyderabad as its capital in 2014, the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh was left without a state capital and began a new journey with huge fiscal deficit and many thorny issues arising out of the split. TDP, which formed the first government in the residuary state, embarked on building the state with several ambitious projects including capital Amaravati, the brainchild of then Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. “Jagan Reddy is trying to take over the state with retrospective effect which is not possible as governance is a continuous process. One can go only on case-to-case basis. But he is trying a blanket reversal,” political analyst Telakapalli Ravi told IANS. “Jagan Mohan Reddy wants to de-legitimise actions and decisions of his predecessor. It is evident that the chief minister wants to discred-

Rumblings in Karnataka BJP over cabinet expansion IANS, BENGALURU

rouble is brewing in the ruling BJP from a dozen legislators left out of Tuesday’s cabinet expansion, as Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa could induct only 17 members, a party official said this week. “Disappointment or resentment is natural from those who were expecting or aspiring for a cabinet post. Our leaders will meet them soon and address their concerns, as it is difficult to take all or even many of them,” BJP’s state unit official G. Madhusudana told IANS. Of the 17 legislators inducted, one is an Independent (H. Nagesh) who pledged support to the party and other two from the party -- Kota Srinivasa Poojary is a member of the legislative council

(MLC) and Laxman Savadi is not a legislator and has to be elected from an assembly segment or nominated to the council over the next 6 months. Shashikala Jolle from Nippani

The party has 105 legislators in the 225member Assembly, whose strength is reduced to 208 in the state’s northwest region is the lone woman minister in the cabinet, expanded over three weeks after Yediyurappa assumed office for the fourth time in the southern state on July 26. “I am surprised for not being taken in the cabinet despite my

When asked about the reported move to shift Andhra Pradesh capital from Amaravati to some other place, Kishan Reddy said the Centre had nothing to do with the issue. “The issue comes under the purview of the state government,” he said. On Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader K.T. Rama Rao’s comment that BJP has no presence in Telangana, Kishan Reddy wondered how K. Kavitha lost the elections in Nizamabad. Rama Rao’s sister Kavitha suffered poll defeat in Nizamabad Lok Sabha constituency to the BJP.

it TDP supremo as a corrupt individual whose regime was filled with corruption and deceit,” says another analyst P. Raghava Reddy. TDP is shocked over the decisions. “This is something which did not happen in the past. We have seen many governments in the past but they never resorted to such actions despite enjoying huge majority. Even Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy’s father Mr Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy did not do this,” senior TDP leader and former minister Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy told IANS. Chandramohan Reddy alleged that Jagan Reddy wanted to see every work started by TDP government come to a halt but in the process he is making the state suffer. The ruling party, however, defended its actions, alleging that there was corruption in awarding the contracts. seniority and experience as a minister earlier. I will wait till the next cabinet expansion and decide my future if the party does not need my services,” Katti told reporters at Belagaivi, about 500km northwest from here. Among those who also felt let down and voiced resentment include Balchandra Jarkiholi, Haladi Srinivas Shetty, K. Poornima, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal and S. Angara. “Though I am disappointed for not being made minister, I hope to be rewarded in the next cabinet expansion or given a chairman’s post of any board or corporation,” Shetty told reporters at Mangaluru, about 350km west of Bengaluru. The party has 105 legislators in the 225-member Assembly, whose strength is reduced to 208 after 17 rebel lawmakers of the Congress and the Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) were disqualified for defying their whip and causing the collapse of their 14-month-old coalition government on July 23 after its chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy resigned for failing to prove majority in the House.

I won’t apologize for films I have made: Karan Johar I am accused of affluenza; I think I’ve to tweak the level affluenza in future IANS, MUMBAI

aran Johar is often criticized for only focussing on beautiful, high-class people with perfect lives in his works, but the filmmaker has said that he wont apologize for films that has made, although he is willing to change his cinematic syntax with changing times. “I made that kind of films because I was raised in a certain atmosphere and there was also an aspiration that was attached to my way of thinking. I always thought that cinema was meant to be larger-than-life and therefore, I created characters that were aspirational. But somewhere down the line, cinema’s syntax changed and I have to kind of adapt to that, and make sure that my characters are more rooted and real, so that they don’t seem so flashy anymore. I am accused of affluenza but,

Karan Johar will be directing the period drama ‘Takht’.

having said that, I won’t apologize for the films that I have been made, although I think I have to tweak the level affluenza in future,” KJo said, while interacting with the media at author Shunali Khullar Shroff ’s

book launch, “Love In The Time Of Affluenza” in Mumbai. Affluenza means first world problems. It is vastly believed that the privilege class really doesn’t have problems, and that their biggest concerns in

life are emptiness, feeling disenchanted with life and pursuing money to be happy with it. In most Karan Johar films, the characters are beautiful, drive luxury cars and live in posh houses, thereby betraying symptoms of affluenza. Asked if he agrees that affluenza is a reality, Karan said: “When you talk about my films and affluenza, then that’s been (done by way of) criticism. Everyone says I make films about first world problems. It is said that if Ranbir Kapoor flies a private plane in a film, then his heart shouldn’t be broken at all. Apparently, if you are wealthy you are not allowed to feel pain.” A few days back, Shiromani Akali Dal MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa had alleged that A-list Bollywood celebrities were in a drugged state at a recent party in Karan Johar’s home. On work front, Karan will be directing the period drama Takht.

Working on show based on 26/11: Nikkhil Advani IANS, MUMBAI

ilmmaker-producer Nikkhil Advani has revealed that he is working on a show based on the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack that happened in 2008. “I am doing a show for one of the biggest web platforms but I can’t reveal their name for obvious reasons, because they want to announce the show. So, right now, I am getting into the show, which is based on 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack that happened in 2008,”

revealed Nikhil, while interacting with the media, on the occasion of celebrating the eighth anniversary of his production house, Emmay Entertainments on Monday in Mumbai. “As far as our production house is concerned, Marjaavaan will release at the end of this year, and (director) Milap (Zaveri) will announce the exact release date of the film. It features Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh, Tara Sutaria and Rakul Preet Singh. It is written and directed by Milap,”

‘Batla House’: Facts messed up by fiction

n various interviews, the Batla House” team has declared that their film is an attempt to seek definite answers to questions that still remain, regarding the alleged Batla House encounter in Delhi’s Okhla area that happened in the aftermath of the 2008 serial blasts. Ironically, in a crucial courtroom scene of the climax, when the defense and prosecution are arguing to establish the guilt or innocence of a key suspect, an announcement appears on the screen stating that the filmmakers “do not endorse the viewpoint of either party”.

You realise at that point where the problem with the film lies. Like most other mainstream Bollywood efforts claiming to bare truths, “Batla House”, too, is hesitant when it comes to bluntly stating facts. When it does take a stand in the end, the film seems almost apologetic to do so – the protagonist doles

IN BRIEF Ajay begins shoots for ‘Maidaan’ MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn will start shooting for director Amit Sharmas film on Indian football, which has been titled Maidaan. Ajay Devgn.

Salman on Wednesday morning took to Instagram to share a picture with his Dabangg 3 director Prabhudeva, to announce that the film will release in Kannada, Tamil and Telugu apart from Hindi. “Chulbul Pandey coming to you on December 20 in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu,” the 53-year-old superstar tweeted. Salman and Prabhudheva have reunited on this project after “Wanted” in 2009. Dabangg 3 will launch a new face - Saiee —the daughter of actor-filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar.

out a lecture on how the impressionable youth who get sucked into terrorism are not to be blamed, that the fault lies with the harbingers of religion who abuse faith to brainwash them. It takes a while for the film to reach that sort of an indecisive stage, after the advantage of an impressive start is squandered away over the larger part of its nearly two-and-half hour runtime. Director Nikkhil Advani has credibly handled the genre of gritty thriller based on reallife terror in his 2013 release, “DDay”. “Batla House” could have been a terrific film. It remains a tepid effort. --Vinayak Chakravorty

Alia a warm, lovely person: Shreya Anushka’s bikini photo invites trolls

nushka Sharma seems to have become a favourite of trolls lately. Be it about her films or her look, or her appearances at hubby Virat Kohli’s matches, social media users don’t leave a single chance to poke fun at the actress for some reason or other. This time, the Phillauri actress is being discussed for a photograph she put up of herself in an orange-and-white bikini.

‘No point talking to India’ Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan complains that India repeatedly rebuffed at his appeals for communication for resolving bilateral issues IANS, ISLAMABAD

Kartarpur corridor will be opened Nov: Pak

ntensifying his criticism of India following the revocation of the special status to Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he would no longer seek a dialogue with New Delhi and raised the threat of a military escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbor. “There is no point in talking to them (Indian officials). I mean, I have done all the talking. Unfortunately, now when I look back, all the overtures that I was making for peace and dialogue, I think they took it for appeasement. There is nothing more that we can do,” Khan told the New York Times in an interview published on August 21. During the interview at the Prime Minister’s Office in Islam-

SHORT TAKES

‘US, North Korea talks will soon resume’ SEOUL: Seoul on August 22 said negotiations between North Korea and the US may resume soon, following a US special envoy’s visit to South Korea. “The impression that I got (from the talks with Stephen Biegun) was that the dialogue between the North and the US appears likely to unfold soon,” South Korean Deputy National Security Adviser Kim Hyun-chong said after a meeting with Biegun, Yonhap reported. The South Korean official’s remarks came a day after Biegun said that the US was “prepared to engage as soon as we hear from our counterparts in North Korea”.

‘Committed to creating platform for dialogue’ HONG KONG: Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam on Tuesday said she was willing to create a platform for dialogue, but will not sanction an independent investigation into police actions during the political crisis that has rocked the city for almost three months. Lam said her administration would immediately work on setting up a means of finding a solution to the civil unrest triggered by her now-shelved extradition bill, which would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent to mainland China, the South China Morning Post reported. Lam said she would approach people who had proposed talks.

A meeting on the corridor would take place soon, he added. The proposed corridor will allow Sikhs to visit the shrine, located only a few km from the border, without visa. However, Faisal said he was not sure if India would remain committed to the project.

Indian Ambassador to the US, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, however, rejected the criticism. “Our experience has been that every time we have taken an initiative towards peace, it has turned out badly for us,” he said, adding: “We expect Pakistan to take credible, irreversible and verifiable action against terrorism.” The Ambassador also said that things were going “back to normal” in Kashmir. “Restrictions are being eased based on the ground situation.”

Exit accord possible: Merkel, Johnson on Brexit IANS, BERLIN

erman Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson maintained their respective stances on Brexit, but said that they believe an exit accord can be reached in the end. The differences between the two leaders mainly revolve around the safeguard — or “backstop” — for Ireland, which would obligate the United Kingdom to remain a part of the EU Customs Union although it

would not define the future relations with the European Union after Britain’s exit from the bloc. “The backstop has always been a fall-back option until this issue is solved and one knows how one wants to do that,” Merkel said on Wednesday before she discussed the matter with Johnson in Berlin, Efe news reported. “It was said we will probably find a solution in two years. But we could also find one in the next 30 days, why not?” she added. The Irish government says that

maintaining the backstop is a crucial element of any British exit from the EU. Johnson, meanwhile, told Merkel that he wanted a speedily negotiated

Brexit deal that does not include the backstop — calling it “undemocratic” — so that the UK can leave the EU with some kind of deal prior to the October 31 deadline.

“It was never my intention to upset any individual or community. It is against the basic tenets of Islam, and I would like to convey

my heartfelt apologies for this misunderstanding,” he said in a statement on Tuesday. Naik said that it has always been his mission to spread peace around the world, but claimed that he faces detractors who try to prevent him from carrying out his mission. “As you must have noticed for the past few days, I am being accused of causing racial discord in the country and my detractors have been using selective sentences taken out of context and adding strange fabrications into them,” he said. “It also worried me because the ones who are hurt have not heard my speeches but based their impressions on out-of-context quotes of me,” he added.

‘I see same passion in you’ Kohli introduced Viv Richards as ‘the greatest inspiration to all of us batsmen’ IANS, NORTH SOUND (ANTIGUA)

irat Kohli had a fan boy moment ahead of the first Test as he got an opportunity to interview legendary cricketer Vivian Richards, whom the Indian skipper has always idol-worshipped. Kohli quizzed Viv Richards on how he dealt with the fastest of bowlers of his time without even wearing a helmet or a guard. He introduced the Caribbean master as “the greatest inspiration to all of us batsmen”. “Whenever I have seen videos of you walking out, you’re in a hat, no helmets back then. Even when there were, after a point you chose not to. Because it was something that made you feel like you had the belief and ‘you are chewing gum’. “I know the pitches were not as prepared or as covered back then. What was it like?

knowing that you don’t have a lot of protection. There is no restriction on bouncers and then you go out and dominate like that. “What did you feel from the time you left the changing room till you got to the pitch. What was the mindset?” Kohli asked. “I believed I am the man,” said

Richards. “It may sound arrogant but I always felt that I was involved in a game that I knew. I would back myself every time. “You have to back yourself to get hurt, to take the knocks. But the helmet — I tried, I am not going to lie and tell you. But, it felt a little uncomfortable. So I felt my cap, my

maroon cap which was given to me. I felt so proud with that. “My mindset was that if I am good enough to be here, if I get hurt it’s God’s will. I will survive,” the 67year-old replied. Kohli also shared his experience of facing fast bowlers: “I feel like it’s better to get hit early on and get to know the feeling than always feeling like you might get hit. “So, I prefer actually getting hit early on and really hard so it motivates me even further not allow that to happen again, just that pain to go through your body and be like -okay enough, it’s not happening again.” Richards further said that getting hit was a part of cricket. “Because to be fair while batting you are going to get hurt. It depends on how you come back from this knocks. In the old days, before these little guards (chest guards) around your ribs, you take it there and that’s when you feel it.

community news IPPFA praises signing of First Responders Suicide Prevention Act

BY IPPFA NEWS RELEASE SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Illinois Public Pension Fund Association (IPPFA) today praised the signing of the Illinois First Responders Suicide Prevention Act, a new law the IPPFA drafted that will help fight the number one cause of duty-related deaths in the state. Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the legislation today at the Illinois State Police headquarters in Springfield, and the law takes effect immediately. “This new law is a major step toward saving the lives of everyday heroes, those who run toward danger rather than away from it and have for years suffered silently because of it,” said IPPFA President James McNamee. “This will give police officers and firefighters the assistance they need to save their own lives while they work every day to save ours.” The legislation, which overwhelmingly passed the Illinois General Assembly as House Bill 2766, provides that any emergency services or public safety employee may refer any fellow first responder for mental health services through an employee assistance or peer counseling program. If such a program is not available through the employee’s agency, the legislation authorizes that help may be sought from any available mental health assistance program. Most importantly, the bill mandates that any oral or written information communicated during these mental health sessions would be strictly confidential and could not be used in any judicial hearing, arbitration, or other adjudicatory proceeding. The IPPFA drafted the bill more than two years ago. It was written by IPPFA board member and first responder Shawn Curry, and the legislation gained steam following several recent first responder suicides in Illinois. “Crimes, fires and other emergencies have

not gone down, and as we place more duties on fewer people, those people need to have access to confidential help when they need it,” McNamee said. “The attempted suicide rate for first responders such as police officers and firefighters is more than ten times the rate of the general public, and this new law will literally save lives.” This spring and summer the IPPFA partnered with the Northern Illinois University Psychology Department to develop training for first responder mental health service providers. This training will be accredited through the university and can be taught through the state’s university system. A recent study by the Ruderman Family Foundation examined depression, posttraumatic stress disorder and other issues affecting first responders and the rates of suicide in departments nationwide. The study determined that first responder suicides outnumber all line of duty deaths in the United States, making it the number one cause of death for firefighters, police officers, probation and corrections officers, paramedics and ambulance personnel. The IPPFA was founded in 1985 as a notfor-profit organization whose mandate was to educate public pension fund trustees. In 2009 the IPPFA became the primary education provider for public pension fund trustees in the state of Illinois, and its members manage more than $18 billion in pension assets.

FBI Warns of Scammers Spoofing FBI Phone Numbers in Southern California to Trick Victims Using Threats, Intimidation FBI NEWS RELEASE LOS ANGELES, CA —The FBI Los Angeles Division is warning the public about a phone scam that spoofs, or fraudulently displays, the FBI’s real telephone number on the victim’s caller ID. The scammer impersonates a government official and uses intimidation tactics to demand payment of money purportedly owed to the government, according to the scheme. Scammers have spoofed the phone numbers of FBI offices in California, Montana, Colorado, Texas, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Kentucky. The FBI has seen its main number (310477-6565) spoofed in this manner, as well as the numbers of the division’s Resident Agencies; most recently, Santa Maria (805346-2728) and West Covina (626-919-3434). Residents nationwide have been targeted. Recent cases include a number of victims in California. The intended target may be told there is a federal warrant for their arrest, which would be dismissed by the court in exchange for immediate payment. The caller often knows the name, background, and personal cell phone number of the intended victim. Unsuspecting victims may also be told the following: That their social security number has been compromised and linked to money laundering. - That their social security number has been used to open bank accounts and that the government would seize those accounts. - To protect their money, funds should be transferred to accounts specifically set up by the government, which would be protected until the situation is resolved, at which point the money would then be returned. - Failure to transfer money could lead to loss of funds and possible arrest. - To meet with a Social Security

Administration Agent to verify identity; once complete, a new SSN would be issued so that a new bank account could be opened. The public is reminded that the FBI does not call private citizens to request money or threaten arrest. There are a number of ways individuals with criminal intentions can obtain a victim’s name, phone number, or email address. The FBI reminds the public to limit the amount of personal information provided online, including on social media sites. To avoid becoming the victim of a scam: - Always be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls. - Never give money or personal information to someone with whom you don’t have ties and did not initiate contact. - Before signing up for a contest or email distribution list, make sure the business has a policy not to share your information or sell it to a third party. - Scammers count on your lack of knowledge, so take the time to educate yourself about any offer you receive. - Trust your instincts: if an unknown caller makes you uncomfortable or says things that don’t sound right, hang up. The FBI strongly encourages anyone contacted by a caller who says they are with the FBI to verify the information with their local FBI Field Office. Contact information for all 56 FBI field offices can be found at www.fbi.gov. Individuals who have been victimized by this type of scam are encouraged to file a complaint with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center by visiting https://www.ic3.gov.

community news Veggie Fest 2019 Was Successfully Held, Drew Huge Crowd 2

MIDWEST / EASTCOAST

FRIDAY,23 AUGUST, 2019

BY A STAFF WRITER LISLE,IL- The two-day festival opened Saturday morning with words from local dignitaries, among them Mayors Chris Pecak and Phil Suess, of Lisle and Wheaton respectively. Dan Hebread, president of the DuPage County Forest Preserve welcomed Veggie Fest to its new location, and event coordinator, Jonathan Kruger said: “There were tens of thousands of people spread out all over this beautiful park, and it never felt crowded. I’m still walking around saying, ‘Wow!’ This is the first year for Veggie Fest at Danada South Park, Navistar Drive in Lisle, IL -- a new venue with much more room than any of the previous locations. More room, as we all know, means more of everything. The 4000 foot kids’ tent had been packed since opening, and lots of little people were walking around with their faces painted. A separate area for toddlers and a special learn-to-meditate tent just for parents and kids were also part of the children’s program this year. The huge international food court went full tilt all weekend. You can check it out at www.veggiefestchicago.com/foodcourt/, but to appreciate what it really was like, you had to be there. A couple of recent additions included four styles of vegan omelets (without eggs) and the rising star of the vegan burger scene, the Beyond Burger. South Indian dosas were back, and if you’ve never had one, you missed out on something great. BTW, the lines moved quickly. A thousand (1000) volunteers come from countries all over the world to make Veggie Fest a success. Their enthusiasm is contagious, and their loving service accounts for the peaceful atmosphere everyone comments on. -more-

John Salley, NBA Champion Speaking at Veggie Fest 2019

Veggie Fest boasted an impressive roster of speakers. Kicking off on Saturday was Saraswati Sukumar, Ph.D., professor of oncology and pathology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who talked about her research on preventing breast cancer using natural foods and herbs. Noted spiritual leader Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, head of Science of Spirituality, chief sponsor of Veggie Fest, gave the keynotes both days on meditation for healthy living. On Saturday, he said we need to heal our spirit if we are to heal our body, mind, and emotions. He continued this theme on Sunday, speaking about meditation and giving detailed meditation instructions, after which the audience had a chance to try it for themselves. John Salley, four-time NBA champion and former member of Chicago Bulls basketball team, spoke passionately about

why he adopted a plant-based diet. Kenny Duggal, MD, ABPMR, assistant professor at Rush University Medical Center, attracted a crowd with his talk: “Eat Green, Get Lean.” Both Neal Barnard, M.D., F.A.C.C., George Washington University School of Medicine and president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and Terry Mason, M.D.,COO of the Cook County Health Department, talked about the power of plant-based foods to create and sustain our health and wellbeing. After listening to several speakers, a young mother commented, “I never realized there was so much scientific research done on plant-based eating. There are going to be some changes in my house.” Several favorites were back doing demos: Chicago’s premier raw food restauranteur, Karyn Calabrese; cookbook author Elle Jaffe; Marla Rose of Chicago’s Vegan Mania; and vegan gourmet chefs, Acooba Scott and Chef Ramses Bravo. Nature’s Path Organics, one of the biggest names in organic food and a Veggie Fest favorite, offered cooking tips and free samples. Backing up the scene on both days was some great music. Zach, Deacon Blues, Afinca’o, Brother John, Gizzae, and V. Holmes’ A Tribute to the Motown Greats. People started dancing sometime in the afternoon, and even though it got dark and the band had packed up, they still hung around. Sorry, guys. You’re just going to have to wait until next year. Veggie Fest 2019 is one that will be remembered for a long time. However, it doesn’t all end when Veggie Fest is over! Be sure to see the internet for Veggie Fest Presents programs throughout the year. There’s something happening every week at the Science of Spirituality International Meditation Center. It’s all on veggiefestchicago.org. Check it out.

Hindola/Phala Utsav Celebrated at The Hindu Mandir of Lake County BY A STAFF WRITER GRAYSLAKE, IL- A popular summer event, Hindola/Phala Utsav was celebrated at the Hindu Mandir of Lake County, Grayslake, IL on 18 Aug, 2019 afternoon. More than 300 hundred devotees participated in the event with great grandeur and splendor. The program started with Sankalpam, and Lord Krishan’s Abhishekam with different fruit juices by the sponsors. Yogesh Pandey chanted Vedic Mantras while Pt. Anil Joshi Ji performed Abhishekam. Beautifully dressed Lord Krishna was placed in the colorfully decorated swing in the midst of 70 families’ Krishna statues that were received with warm welcome slogans, songs, and Garabha dances by the devotees. Summer delicious fruits and juices were displayed nicely and offered to all the deities with much veneration and adoration. The Shrine was filled with melodious Bhajans sung by Rita Patel and Athul Soni. This created a pious atmosphere all around. Later, Pt. Joshi Ji delivered his brief Pravachan by saying that this kind of fruits and juices arrangement was made by Ma Yashoda in the forest when the young Krishna took cows for grazing for the first time. All the Gods and Goddesses came there to enjoy fruits and juices with Lord Krishna that he shared with much joy. He further

said that in the Kali Yuga, Maha Prabhu Valabhacharya rejuvenated this Hindola celebration for his much-loved Lord Krishna. The message given here was that according to Bhagavad Gita, whatever is there in the nature belongs to Lord Krishna. We have use them after talking his permission and thanking Him for all that He has blessed us with. We also have to share them with others with respect and love. Pt. Joshi Ji said that we will be able to establish our relationship with Lord Krishna, when we feed Him and love Him like He did with other Gods that

came in the forms of animals and birds to his Phala Utsav. From this day, Lord Krishna was also named as Gopal (Go (cow/life) Pal (takes care of ). Special cold juices like Aam Panna, Thandayi, Rose Lassi, Aam Rasa, and Sinkanji in the earthen pots were offered. Pt. Joshi Ji not only thanked devotes and sponsors for gracing the event but also blessed everyone with much admiration. Temple served Kitchari and Raita to all the devotees as Maha Prasadam. Fruits and juices were served as dessert course.

‘’Public Charge’ Rule Set:Half of All Green Card Marriage Applications Will Be Denied

BY A STAFF WRITER WASHINGTON, DC- Despite widespread opposition, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today released its final version of the public charge rule, a sweeping regulation that aims to restrict legal immigration. Once in effect, the new policy could impact more than 1 million green card and visa applicants within the United States each year, plus millions more abroad. The new rule is scheduled to take effect in 60 days, on Oct. 15, 2019. At that time, DHS could begin denying more than half of all marriage-based green card applications. The new rule would potentially deny green cards to one million immigrants each year who are currently living in the U.S. and have received any of several forms of federal public aid, including food stamps — a program known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP — Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, and Temporary Aid for Needy Families, or TANF. Immigrants applying for green cards must also be able to document that they earn at least 250 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, about $41,000 per year for a couple, and about $73,000 for a family of five. Nationwide, about seven percent of Indian Americans live at or below the federal poverty level, according to data from the Migration Policy Institute. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for most forms of federal public aid. The new rule would also adversely impact immigrants who live abroad and are seeking permanent entry into the U.S. Those who are determined by USCIS to need federal public aid in the future, will also be denied a visa, potentially affecting about 13 million people each year. USCIS will use a variety of factors such as level of education, current income, ability to speak English, age, and chronic diseases to determine eligibility. Separately, H-1B holders and their spouses may also face hurdles in their ability to document a sustainable income. Many spouses of H-1B visa holders currently hold work authorization, a provision implemented during the Obama administration. Shortly after President Donald Trump took office, his administration announced its intent to cancel H-4 EAD. The revocation of that rule has not yet been finalized, but, if it does become a final rule, H-4 visa holders will have no income to document. .The new rule will allow USCIS to deny more than 50 percent of all marriage green card applicants, according Rand. This would force an estimated 200,000 married couples each year to leave the U.S. or live apart indefinitely, he told India-West. During a 60-day public comment period on a draft rule, the Department of Homeland Security received almost 64,000 final responses, with most people opposing the rule. “For over a century, the public charge ground of inadmissibility has been part of our nation’s immigration laws. President Donald Trump has delivered on his promise to the American people to enforce long-standing immigration law by defining the public charge inadmissibility ground that has been on the books for years,” said USCIS Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli in a press statement, adding: “Throughout our history, self-sufficiency has been a core tenet of the American dream.” “To protect benefits for American citizens, immigrants must be financially self-sufficient,” said President Trump in a statement issued by the White House Aug. 12. “We must ensure that noncitizens do not abuse our public benefit programs and jeopardize the social safety net needed by vulnerable Americans,” he said.
