Trump’s legal team prepares for showdown with Mueller

Mueller is investigating Moscow’s role in Trump’s election and whether he sought to block the probe into contacts his associates have had with Russians IANS, WASHINGTON

S President Donald Trump’s legal team is preparing for the possibility of an interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller over alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 elections. Mueller is investigating Moscow’s efforts to help elect Trump and whether he sought to block the probe into contacts his associates have had with Russians, The Washington Post reported on June 4 night. Trump declared in tweets earlier on June 4 that he has the “absolute right” to pardon himself and called Mueller unconstitutional. As the two sides head toward a confrontation over a presidential interview in the coming weeks, newly hired White House lawyer

US business groups oppose Trump’s tariffs WASHINGTON: Three US business groups, funded by major conservative political donors, have announced a multi-year, multimillion-dollar campaign to promote free trade and oppose Donald Trump administration’s tariffs against imports from around the world. The campaign, launched by Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, Americans for Prosperity and The LIBRE Initiative, will “include paid media, activist education and grassroots mobilization, lobbying and policy analysis - all intended to transform the way Washington and the rest of the country consider and value trade with other nations,” the groups said on Monday in a statement, Xinhua reported this week. The groups said they would push the Trump administration to permanently lift those steel and aluminum tariffs, the recent tariffs on solar panels and washing machines as well the proposed additional tariffs on imports from China. “Tariffs and other trade barriers make us poorer. They raise prices for those who can least afford it,” said Freedom Partners Executive Vice President James Davis. Americans for Prosperity President Tim Phillips added that there are better ways to negotiate trade deals than by “punishing American consumers and businesses with higher costs.” —IANS

Emmet Flood and other attorneys are strategising about how to handle a subpoena from Mueller that would seek to compel Trump to

testify in the investigation. Several White House officials said Flood has cautioned Trump and others about the unpredictability of

a subpoena fight that could be decided by the Supreme Court. Trump lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani told The Washington Post that the outcome of such a showdown is uncertain. “Both sides are taking a big risk with a subpoena fight,” he said. Meanwhile, Giuliani and other advisers have begun making plans to prepare Trump for a possible sitdown with Mueller. Another Trump lawyer, Jane Raskin, talks with Mueller deputy James Quarles at least three times a week. She is reviewing the classified conversations Trump and other top aides have had with foreign leaders, such as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Bill Clinton was the first US President subpoenaed to testify in a criminal probe, before his lawyers negotiated the terms of a voluntary interview instead.

Trump pardons drug offender backed by Kim Kardashian WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump this week commuted the sentence of a 63-year-old drug offender Alice Johnson, a week after Kim Kardashian West visited Trump to lobby on her behalf. According to a White House statement, the beneficiary of the commutation was Alice Johnson, who was given life sentence in 1996 for possession of drugs and money laundering, Xinhua reported. “Ms. Johnson has accepted responsibility for her past behavior and has been a model prisoner over the past two decades,” the statement said. Trump’s decision came after hollywood celebrity Kim Kardashian West visited Trump last week to lobby on behalf of Johnson, West reportedly became involved in the case after learning of Johnson’s case in a video, she tweeted to her 60 million followers “BEST NEWS EVER!” after the White House’s decision. —IANS

Trump calls media vicious for speculating about Melania IANS, WASHINGTON

S President Donald Trump this week called the US media “vicious” and “unfair” after some outlets speculated about the health of first lady Melania Trump after she underwent surgery in mid-May. “The Fake News Media has been so unfair, and vicious, to my wife and our great First Lady, Melania,” Trump tweeted. “During her recovery from surgery they reported everything from near death, to facelift, to left the W.H. (and me) for N.Y. or Virginia, to abuse. All Fake, she is doing really well!” he added. Trump complained in a subsequent tweet that last week “Four reporters spotted Melania in the White House ... walking merrily

Trump blames Canada for burning White House in 1812 IANS, WASHINGTON

S President Donald Trump this week reproached Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, claiming that Canada burned the White House in the War of 1812, although that was actually done by British troops, media reports said. According to a CNN reported,

citing unnamed sources, during a May 25 telephone call to discuss US tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, Trudeau asked Trump how he could use national security to justify imposing the tariffs. “Didn’t you guys burn down the White House?” Trump reportedly responded in what was an overall “testy” conversation. Since Trump announced that he

House as saying. According to medical experts, it is normal for patients undergoing such procedures to be released the same day, but Melania remained hospitalized for almost five days. That relatively lengthy hospitalization and the low profile she has maintained since she returned to the White House sparked all sorts of theories on the social networks, including that she had left Trump or was cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the Russia probe. Last weekend, Melania did not accompany Trump to Camp David and she is not scheduled to travel with the president to Quebec for the G7 summit or to Singapore in early June for his anticipated summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. temporarily agreed to exclude the European Union, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, South Korea and Mexico — the White House has taken the stance that it was being done on the basis of national security. The justification for that argument, however, has been called into question both by experts and other leaders, Efe reported. In fact, during an interview last weekend — and with the tariffs already in place — Trudeau said it was “inconceivable” that the Trump administration could suspect Canada.

IANS, MUMBAI

ousing loan and auto loan will become dearer with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday raising its key interest rate for the first time since January 2015. The country’s central bank — RBI — has raised repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 6.25 percent, responding to concerns on inflation from surging global crude oil prices. The RBI, however, maintained its ‘neutral’ stance on policy, as it has done over four previous bi-monthly policy reviews when it held the repo, or its short term lending rate for commercial banks, at 6 percent. This stance allows the RBI to move either way on rates. The decision of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is consistent with the neutral stance of mon-

Court admits abetment to suicide charge against Tharoor NEW DELHI: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor was on Tuesday summoned as an accused in connection with the suicide of his wife Sunanda Pushkar after a court took cognisance of the police chargesheet and found sufficient grounds to proceed against him for abetment to suicide and cruelty. The 62-year-old parliamentarian from Thiruvananthapuram has been asked to appear before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal on July 7, the next date fixed for the hearing. “I have gone through and perused the chargesheet along with the documents filed along with it.

the central bank was undertaking after more than four years and comes for the first time under the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government. The government was quick to laud the latest monetary policy review. “Welcome monetary policy statement. Quite balanced assessment of growth, inflation and external situation and expectations. Rate hike understandable considering existing interest differentials and oil price movement. Should help in removing uncertainties and steadying markets,” Economic Affairs Secretary S.C. Garg said in a tweet. The RBI also revised upwards the retail inflation range to 4.8-4.9 percent in the first half of 2018-19, and to 4.7 percent in the second half, including the impact of house rent allowance for central employees, and with risks on the upside.

Hedgewar a great son of India: Pranab IANS, NAGPUR

ormer President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday hailed Kehsav Baliram Hedgewar, the founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), as “a great son of Mother India”. “Today I came here to pay my respect and homage to a great son of Mother India,” Mukherjee wrote in the visitor’s book as he visited Hedgewar’s birthplace, accompanied by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. The Hedgewar home was also the venue of the first ever meeting of the RSS which he founded in September 1925. Accorded a warm welcome at the RSS headquarters, Mukherjee

Pranab Mukherjee

was shown around the Hedgewar memorial premises which includes a small temple. Mukherjee, a Congress party veteran, was in Nagpur to address the RSS cadre at the organization’s final leg of three-year

training program called the ‘Tritiya Varsh Varg’. His visit has raised many an eyebrow, including in his own party.

By-election graffiti:

Troubled times for BJP There is a realization among BJP’s opponents that electoral tie-ups can win them elections AMULYA GANGULI, NEW DELHI

t will be a mistake to ascribe the defeats of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Kairana, Noorpur and Bhandara-Gondiya by-elections in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra only to the tie-ups among its opponents. While there is little doubt that in Kairana, an alliance of the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), the Samajwadi Party (SP), the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Congress led to the BJP’s defeat, it is also undeniable that the combine wouldn’t have worked if the Muslims, Dalits, backward castes and the Jats hadn’t turned against the BJP. It is for the BJP to ascertain why they did so when a section of the economists is sanguine about the party’s prospects because of low inflation and high — 7.7 percent — growth. But the economy may not boost the party’s fortunes in a context of social fissures. As those associated with the Muslim and Christian communities like former Vice

President Hamid Ansari and the Archbishop of Delhi, Anil Couto, have said, both the communities are living with a sense of insecurity. The reason apparently is the fear of suddenly being attacked and even killed by saffron groups on one pretext or another. The unhappiness of the Dalits, too, has been obvious in the wake

against it in this respect in 2014, but that was because of the expectations of rapid, employment-oriented development raised by Narendra Modi. Arguably, these hopes may still be fulfilled if the present growth rate continues. But jobs cannot provide any solace to people who feel that they are second class citizens in

The formula for success against the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) is clear — unite or perish

of several instances of lynching and the continuing tension in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur area between the upper caste Rajputs and the Dalits, one of whose leaders, Chandrashekar Azad “Ravan”, has been in indefinite detention. It is obvious that with sizable sections of the Muslims, who constitute 14.2 percent of the population, Dalits (16.6 percent) and Christians (2.3 percent) alienated from the BJP, its chances of electoral success cannot be very high. The party did beat the odds

parties, and in Bhandara-Gondiya, where the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress successfully put up a untied fight against the BJP. The formula, therefore, for success against the BJP is clear — unite or perish. As West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee once said, the objective should be to offer the BJP a one-to-one fight by parties which are the most influential in a certain region. If this is done, victory is assured as the Rashtriya Janata Dal’s three

today’s India, as a retired police officer, Julio Ribeiro, has said. The angst of the minorities has combined with the realization among the BJP’s opponents that the only way to defeat it is via electoral tie-ups among themselves. This is what happened in Kairana, where a combined opposition seamlessly garnered the votes of the Muslims, the Dalits, the backward castes and the Jats. It was the same in Noorpur, where the SP candidate received the support of the other opposition

successive victories in Araria, Jehanabad and Jokihat in Bihar against the ruling Janata Dal-United have shown. There is little doubt that the recent by-election victories, along with the formation of the Janata Dal (Secular)-Congress government in Karnataka, are being seen as precursors to a combined opposition at the national level. If such a unity is achieved, it presages troubled times for the BJP because there is no way it can withstand such a concerted offensive.

‘Only India can help itself combat pollution’ India produces over 62 million tons of solid waste every year, of which only 43 million tons is collected, only 12 million tons is treated and the rest is dumped KUSHAGRA DIXIT, NEW DELHI

nited Nations Environment head Erik Solheim believes that only India can help itself when it comes to “Beat Plastic Pollution” — this year’s theme of World’s Environment Day that the country hosted. With the United States working on its way to quit the historic Paris Climate Agreement, Solheim says it’s just the right time for India and China — among the world’s top polluters — to lead the world in the war against climate change and pollution. “First of all, only India can change India. Indian political leaders and its people can change India,” Solheim told IANS in an interview. “But we can help,” he continued, adding that despite being in a desperate situation to work upon its solid waste management, the world can still learn from India

and India can learn from China and vice versa. India produces over 62 million tonnes of solid waste every year, of which only 43 million tonnes is collected, only 12 million tonnes is treated and the rest is dumped. According to the experts, the figure is expected to rise to 436 mil-

lion tonnes by 2050. “There is a huge issue of waste management in India and everyone can see that; we went from Delhi to Agra via train and saw that there was plastic all over the rails, that’s a problem,” he said, highlighting the “big need” to manage that. Speaking of plastic waste alone,

approximately 900,000 tonnes of PET — used to make soft drink bottles, furniture, carpet, paneling, etc. — was produced in India in 2015-16, as reported by the National Chemical Laboratory. About 25,000 tonnes of plastic waste is generated evey year in India, of which only 60 percent, according to Union Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan, is recycled. Delhi with 689.52 tonnes tops the chart of plastic waste fol-

lowed by Chennai (429.39 tonnes), Mumbai (408.27 tonnes), Bengaluru (313.87 tonnes) and Hyderabad (199.33 tonnes). Solheim, however, was optimistic about India and counts on the initiative taken by the country’s political leaders. According to business analysts, Indian waste management Industry has a potential of $15 billion with promising growth prospects. “To tackle the situation, you need to see how these problems were resolved in the past. For instance, we resolved the biggest global environment problem of 1980s — the hole in the ozone layer. At that time also, political leaders and businesses bought us the solutions,” he pointed out. Appreciating China for cleaning its rivers, Solheim highlighted the scope of learning for India. “If China can do that, then India can do that in Ganges and other rivers,” he added.

Trump to pardon Dinesh D’Souza

In a tweet, US President Donald Trump said that he will give a ‘full pardon’ to the Indian-American media personality as he was treated very unfairly by the government However, a Indian-American, Sant Chatwal, who illegally contributed $188,000 illegal election contributions to Clinton was not prosecuted by Bharara, but was taken to court by former Attorney General Loretta Lynch when she was the federal prosecutor in Brooklyn in 2014.

ARUL LOUIS, NEW YORK

nited States President Donald Trump has said that he will pardon Dinesh D’Souza, a controversial conservative IndianAmerican media personality, who was convicted of making illegal contributions to a Republican Party candidate for Senate. Trump tweeted last week, “Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government.” D’Souza was prosecuted by Indian-American New York federal prosecutor Preet Bharara, and convicted in 2014 of making illegal election contributions of $10,000 to Republican Senate Candidate Wendy Long. A journalist, author and filmmaker, D’Souza was a harsh critic of former President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential can-

didate Hillary Clinton. He is known for stirring controversy with his angry rhetoric. He was fined $30,000 and sentenced to five years of probation and eight months of overnight

detention in a so-called halfway house.Bharara defended his role tweeting, “D’Souza intentionally broke the law, voluntarily pled guilty, apologized for his conduct & the judge found no unfairness.

A journalist, author and filmmaker, Dinesh D’Souza was a harsh critic of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Chatwal on his conviction was not sentenced to overnight detention like D’Souza, but received three years of probation, a fine of $500,000 and $1 million in forfeiture. Prosecutors kept Clinton’s name

off the charges, saying only that Chatwal had made an illegal contribution. Chatwal, however, named her as the recipient in court papers pleading for leniency. Republican Senator welcomed D’Souza’s pardon, tweeting, “Dinesh was the subject of a political prosecution, brazenly targeted by the Obama administration bc (because) of his political views.” D’Souza’s book, “The Roots of Obama’s Rage,” which claimed that Obama was furthering the anti-colonial ideology to run down the US, was later made into a film. He also produced a scathing documentary on Clinton, “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party.” Bharara had also prosecuted Rajat Gupta, Raj Rajaratnam and Mathew Martoma for insider trading on Wall Street, and had Indian diplomat Devyani arrested.

ner, 12-year-old Naysa Modi, got “bewusstseinslage” wrong. “It’s what I’ve been dreaming of for years now,” Nemmani said.

The Navy deployed INS Sunayna in Western Arabian Sea for the humanitarian and disaster relief operation just after it received a distress call from the Directorate General of Shipping and the Indian Sailing Vessels Association. “We got information that three Indian Dhows — a lateen rigged ship with one or two masts — at Socotra suffered damages and sank alongside in the harbour after the cyclone hit the area,” said the official. “As we got the inputs about another Dhow, MSV Safina Al Khijar, with 12 Indians on board missing, the Indian Navy undertook two aerial sorties on May 27 and 28 to search for the missing Indians,” he added. Vishal Sareddy. This year 515 contestants participated in the National Spelling Bee championship, the biggest number so far because of rule changes that widened the pool beyond the local champions and also included those without sponsors, who are usually newspapers. The contest held in Oxon Hill near Washington was televised nationally on the sports channel ESPN. Indian-origin children have won the Spelling Bee championship for 11 continuous years since Sameer Mishra won in 2008. In 1985, Balu Natarajan became the first Indian-origin child to win the Spelling Bee and 17 others have followed him.

BJP trying to weaken Andhra: CM Naidu IANS, VIJAYAWADA

ndhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu this week alleged that the BJP is hatching a “big conspiracy” in collusion with his rivals to politically destabilize the state. He suspects that “Operation Garuda” allegedly planned by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state involves YSR Congress Party chief Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, actor-politician Pawan Kalyan and former CBI Joint Director V.V. Lakshminarayana. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP)

chief was addressing Nava Nirmana Deeksha meeting here to mark four years of bifurcation of undivided Andhra Pradesh. Naidu, whose party pulled out of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) at the Centre in March over its refusal to accord special status to the state, said “Operation Garuda” alleged by actor Sivaji appeared to be true. Sivaji, who was earlier with the BJP, alleged a few months ago that the party was launching “Operation Garuda” with the help of Jagan and Pawan in Andhra Pradesh to finish the TDP.

Naidu also added the name of Lakshminarayana to the list, saying that the former CBI official was making baseless against the TDP government. Lakshminarayana, a high profile CBI officer, recently took voluntary retirement and is expected to enter active politics.

Djokovic falters at French Open

After being stunned by Cecchinato, the player’s participation in Wimbledon remains a suspense IANS, PARIS

Halep, Muguruza enter semis

ormer world No. 1 Novak Djokovic left it uncertain whether to play on grass following his loss to Italian underdog Marco Cecchinato at the French Open. “I don’t know if I’m going to play on grass,” the Serbian told a press conference after being stunned by 72nd-ranked Cecchinato in the men’s singles quarterfinals this week, reports Xinhua news agency. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. I just came from the court. Sorry, guys, I can’t give you that answer. I cannot give you any answer. “I’m just not thinking about tennis at the moment,” he added. Recovering from his elbow injury last year, Djokovic, who finished his sweep of Grand Slam tournament titles two years ago in Paris, had to feature this year as the No. 20 seed, his lowest Grand Slam seeding since the 2006 U.S. Open. Losing the first two sets 6-3, 7-6 (4), the 12-time Grand Slam win-

PARIS: World No.1 Simona Halep and 2016 winner Garbine Muguruza won in different manners over Germany’s Angelique Kerber and Russia’s Maria Sharapova respectively to set up their semi-final clash at the French Open this week. Halep came back from one set

down to edge Kerber 6-7 (2), 6-3, 62, while Spanish third seed crushed Shaparova 6-2, 6-1, reports Xinhua news agency. Romanian Halep led 5-4 in their previous head-to-head matches, including her 2018 Australian Open semifinal victory after two hours and 20 minutes.

PARIS: Rohan Bopanna and his French partner E. Roger-Vasselin crashed out of the French Open tennis tournament following a straightsets loss in the men’s doubles quarter-finals this week. The 13th seeded Indo-French combination went down 6-7, 2-6 to

eighth seeds Nikola Mektic of Croatia and Austria’s Alexander Peya in an hour and 32 minutes. This is the second time this year that Bopanna and Roger-Vasselin have come up short at a major tournament. The duo had earlier crashed out of the Australian Open in January.

PARIS: American tennis great Serena Williams pulled out of her French Open Round-of-16 clash this week due to injury, sending Russian Maria Sharapova into the quarter-finals while Germany’s Angelique Kerber defeated France’s Caroline Garcia. Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam

champion, said at a press conference that the muscle pain began during her straight-set win over Germany’s Julia Georges in the previous round and that she was planning to undergo a MRI scan on June 5, reported Efe. —IANS

ner bounced back to win the third set 6-1 and lead 5-2 in the fourth. However, he failed to capitalize on the momentum, and several set points in the tie-breaker, to be forced into the fifth set. “I struggled from the beginning. Unfortunately, it took me time to get well, and struggled with a little injury at the beginning. When I warmed up, it was better. “But it’s just a pity that I couldn’t capitalize on the chances of leading 4-1 in the fourth set and

some break points that I thought I had in there, but he came back and credit to him,” admitted Djokovic, while declining to specify his issues. “I don’t want to talk about that,” he said. “Any defeat is difficult in the Grand Slams, especially the one that came from months of buildup. I thought I had a great chance to get at least a step further, but it wasn’t to be. That’s the way it is,” said Djokovic.

Intercontinental Cup: Chhetri double helps India beat Kenya IANS, MUMBAI

kipper Sunil Chhetri scored a brace on his 100th international game as Jeje Lalpekhlua also got on the scoresheet to help India beat Kenya 3-0 and put on foot in the final of the Intercontinental Cup on a rainsoaked this week at the Mumbai Football Arena. After a barren first half which saw chances few and far between due to torrential downpour, Chhetri (68th minute penalty, 90+1) won and converted a penalty before adding to his tally in second-half added time with a delicate chip past the goalkeeper to round off the victory in front of

9,000 odd-spectators. On either side of Chhetri’s landmark double, Jeje (71st) made it 2-0 as India bagged two wins in as many games

and moved to six points. Stephen Constantine’s wards thrashed Chinese Taipei 5-0 in their first outing and will now take

on New Zealand on June 7 in the four-team tourney. They are top of the table followed by Kenya (three points), who beat the All Whites 2-1 in their first match and will now take on Chinese Taipei. The top two teams in the points table will meet in the summit clash on June 10. This was India’s 13th win in 16th games and second on the bounce since the loss to Kyrgyz Republic. Both sides struggled for cohesion in the first period as it rained profusely. In the 25th minute, Chhetri tried to take advantage of a sloppy clearance and chip the ball over retreating Kenyan goalkeeper Patrick Matasi but his effort went just over the crossbar.

MOSCOW: Russia was held 1-1 by Turkey in the hosts’ final friendly before their June 14 FIFA World Cup opener against Saudi Arabia.

MADRID: Former Spain coach Vicente del Bosque this week said that the Spanish national team is not the only strong favorite to win the 2018 FIFA World Cup, set to kick off in Russia next week. The 2010 World Cup champion is among the favorites, but not the best, he said during an event for the UN refugee organization here, reported Efe. He pointed out that Spain’s preWorld Cup friendly matches were pos-

seven matches. In a dull first half, Russia’s only moment of quality came in the 32nd minute, when Alan Dzagoev exploited a Turkish giveaway to set up a goal by Aleksandr Samedov. Turkey were not much better, mustering only two shots on goal for the entire match, but one of them, a strike from 25 yards by Yunus Malli in the 59th minute, was enough to level the contest at 1-1.

itive and reinforced the level of the team, but cautioned that the Spanish side should travel to Russia with moderate optimism. Del Bosque added that in order to reclaim the title this summer, Spain will need to have a combination of good players, a good team, good coaching and good fans — as well as good luck. The World Cup begins June 14, with Spain set to compete in Group B along with Portugal, Iran and Morocco.

Rajeshkumar Patel

BY A STAFF WRITER EATHERFORD, TX -An Indian American man, Rajesh Kumar Patel, 53, was arrested for robbing Fort Worth Community Credit Union Bank in Weatherford, Texas, on June 6 but he changed his mind and left the money behind. Patel was in the bank when he provided a note demanding money and claimed to have a weapon, which seemed to be a gun but was actually an air gun. “He had a red money bag with what looked like a gun inside of it and it ended up being a gun but it was actually a BB gun. It wasn’t a real gun,” said Sgt. Jason Hayes. “She puts the money on the counter and the guy, I guess for whatever reason, he decides he doesn’t want to rob the bank now, he doesn’t want to take the money,” he added.

Blackmail scam in St. Louis suburb

BY A STAFF WRITER HESTERFIELD, MO – The Chesterfield police are warning of a blackmail scam under which residents are asked to send money in order to keep their infidelities quiet. Chesterfield residents are receiving letters in the mail stating that the sender knows that the resident cheated on their wife and demands the recipient to send money to keep the affair under wraps. Back in January, the Creve Coeur Police also had received multiple reports of residents receiving such letters. According to the police, the letter will often state, “I know you cheated on your wife” and “I have evidence of the infidelity.” The sender then gives the receiver an ultimatum to do nothing and allow their secret to get out or to send a certain monetary amount and they will destroy the evidence. The scammers are demanding the payment be in cryptocurrency or other virtual currencies to make it difficult for the police to track the transactions. The police are advising residents against sending money, and urged them to keep them informed.

The Kavis were a perfect combination--if Asthana’s comic poetry and Sharma’s twoliner comic poetry kept the audience roaring

in laughter, at the same time, Dr. Vishal’s geet and ghazals mesmerized the audience with her melodious voice. The newly-elected president, Taruna Gupta, thanked organization for giving this opportunity to serve Indian community of Chicago in promoting Indian culture and, most importantly, UP state of India. On behalf of UPA, Dr. Subhash Pandey thanked Surendra Jain, owner of Ashiyana banquets, for the delicious food and his support. He also thanked the media personnel, particularly Suresh Bodiwala, Asian media USA, for his superb service of the Indian community. He also thanked Vandana Jhingan for her service to community and covering the event for TV Asia and Jatinder Bedi of Hello NRI for his support.

community news/east coast Taselisib - new weapon against breast cancer 4

FRIDAY,08 JUNE, 2018

BY DR. NILESH MEHTA here is good news for patients with breast cancer. At the justconcluded American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago, clinical data of a new targeted drug, Taselisib, was presented which showed some exciting results. In this clinical trial known as SANDPIPER Trial funded by F. HoffmannLa Roche, when taselisib was combined with standard hormone therapy fulvestrant (Faslodex), the combination halted the growth of advanced breast cancer growth by 2 months longer than hormone therapy alone, and decreased the chance of cancer worsening by 30%. Taselisib targets a genetic abnormality (PIK3CAgene mutation) within breast cancer cells. This group of emerging drugs are called as PI3K inhibitors and Taselisib represents the first and most potent treatment in this class. Taselisib is the first medicine that specifically blocks the type of PI3K protein (PI3K alpha) that is mutated in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancers. This drug is also being actively studied in other cancers notably gynecologic cancer and head and neck. “About 40% of all patients with advanced breast cancer estrogen receptor positive have PIK3CA mutations, which means they could benefit from Taselisib,” said lead study author José Baselga, MD, PhD, FASCO, the Physician-in-Chief at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. “Our findings are proof that that targeting this pathway in breast cancer is effective. However, the benefit to patients was more modest than we had hoped for, and there is a risk of considerable side effects with the addition of Taselisib.” The SANDPIPER trial, a phase III

clinical trial, enrolled 516 postmenopausal

women with locally advanced or metastatic Estrogen Receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer that worsened or recurred despite initial hormone treatment with aromatase inhibitors. Aromatase inhibitors are oral drugs that are typically utilized initially to treat women with breast cancer. However, tumors become smarter by developing resistance to this therapy when aromatase inhibitors are used as single drugs. Hence the combination of drugs is being increasingly utilized to circumvent resistance. Breast cancer patients were randomly assigned to receive fulvestrant and placebo

or fulvestrant and Taselisib to figure out the impact of this new drug in this disease. Women who received Taselisib and fulvestrant had a 30% lower chance of cancer worsening than those who received fulvestrant and a placebo. Taselisib also extended the time until the cancer worsened by a median of two months (7.4 months with Taselisib and fulvestrant vs. 5.4 months with fulvestrant and placebo). The response rate to treatment (tumor shrinkage) was more than doubled when Taselisib was added (28% vs. 11.9%). Whether women lived longer with the double drug combination or not is still not known. One of the unusual aspects of this trial was the discrepancy in results based on geographic areas. It was noted that Taselisib provided more benefit to breast cancer patients who received treatment in North America and Europe, where cancer worsening was delayed by a median of 3.5 months. In other countries, including Eastern Europe and Latin America, Taselisib appeared to provide very little or no added benefit. More research is needed to understand the reasons for this geographic discrepancy. The most common severe side effects for patients who received Taselisib were diarrhoea, high blood sugar, and colon inflammation (colitis). Due to side effects, 17% of women who received Taselisib stopped treatment early, compared to only 2% of those who did not receive the targeted therapy. A few years ago, another group of drugs known as Cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors were shown to be successful in breast cancer patients when they were combined with hormonal therapy for breast cancer. While this new combination of Taselisib and hormonal therapy may not represent a home run in breast cancer treatment, it certainly opens up a new avenue of treatment option for breast cancer patients who are hormone receptor positive.

Convicted in fraud case, Indian dies CHITA celebrates Telangana Day

BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO, IL – In order to celebrate the Telangana Formation Day in Chicagoarea, the Chicago Telangana Association (CHITA) has organized a ‘Vana Bhojanalu’ event. In Telangana, India’s 29th state, family and friends gather together to go into the woods, offer prayers to the God and Goddesses, cook the food, consume it in Mother Nature’s lap and have a fun time with family and friends. CHITA had invited people from the Telangana community to ‘Vana Bhojanalu’ on the 4th Telangana Formation Day on June 2 at Springbrook Praire Forest Preserve in Naperville, IL.

C BY A STAFF WRITER ICHARDSON, TX -- Hours after being convicted in a multimillion dollar fraud case, Indian American Suresh Mitta, of Richardson, Texas, died while in the custody of US Marshals. News reports said Mitta, a technocrat, was convicted by a federal jury of taking part in an elaborate fraud scheme that involved selling bogus MRI equipment to a North Texas hospital. Mitta, who also went by the names Suresh

Reddy and Mitta Suresh, had been found guilty on May 22 in Missouri of a single count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in a case that victimized Dallas Medical Center, a Farmers Branch community hospital. While in a cell with other prisoners in Jackson County, Mo., Mitta suffered what law enforcement authorities said looked like a seizure. An ambulance was called and Mitta was taken to a local hospital, where he died. Mitta had been facing up to 20 years in federal prison without parole.

course, a hot cake. The volunteers cooked the famous Telangana chicken curry and served it hot to the family members even as kids had a ball in the outdoors in the massive park. CHITA president Manoj Kondam asked all the crowd to remember ‘Telangana Amara Veerulu’ and told them to observe a 2-minute silence to honor the souls who had sacrificed their lives for the Telangana movement. Later, men played cricket, followed by dances based on Bollywood and Tollywood numbers, making the event all fun and electrifying. CHITA vice president Vittal Kumar Eravelli and general secretary Neelima Akula thanked everyone for coming and supporting the event. It was announced that ‘Bathukamma’ (Floral Festival) celebrations will take place on September 29 at Naperville Grand Pavilion to honor the Mother Nature and Telangana culture. The event ended with a slogan “Johaar Telangana Aamara Veerulaku, Johaar”!

A BY A STAFF WRITER AREDO, TX – The Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has arrested an estimated 274 undocumented Bangladeshis attempting to enter the country at the US-Mexico border in Laredo, Texas, since the beginning of fiscal year 2018. The Laredo border is the biggest entry point for undocumented immigrants from Bangladesh. In the latest round of arrests, Laredo Sector Border Patrol Agents arrested the Bangladeshis, who were apprehended after crossing the Rio Grande River in south Laredo. At the end of April, CBP reported that 209 Bangladeshis had been arrested since the beginning of fiscal year 2018. A May 31 press

statement saw that number jump to 274. A high number of arrests have occurred since January. The large number Bangladeshi immigrants entering the US through Laredo has sparked fears of terrorism. “The arrest of these people from Bangladesh shows there is a clear pipeline from anywhere in the world to Mexico and on to the southern border of Texas,” Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza had told reorters in April. “We have been lucky to catch these groups but there is no telling how many other people from countries that sponsor terrorism could be utilizing that same pipeline.” Garza explained that the young men

from Bangladesh have been trained in how to manipulate the system to utilize the Department of Homeland Security’s ongoing catch-and-release program. “Many of these people from Bangladesh will claim to be unaccompanied alien minors when they are captured by our agents,” he said, adding “At that point, they are turned over to immigration officials for processing under the existing catch-and-release programs for minors.” “When, during medical and dental examinations, immigration officers determine these people are actually adults, they are issued a Notice to Appear and released,” Agent Garza explained.

R S. Jaspreet Singh Uppal with his wife, four children & mother

BY A STAFF WRITER INCINNATI, OH -- A grand jur y had earlier indicted Broderick Malik Jones Roberts, a black man suspected in the May 12 shooting of truck driver S. Jaspreet Singh Uppal in Cincinnati, Ohio, but with the Indian-American victim’s death on May 21 from the wounds, investigators are now going to ask for a murder indictment. Roberts is accused of shooting Uppal while he was sitting in his vehicle on the

night of May 12. Uppal, who leaves behind his wife and children, was taken off life support on May 21. The bond on Roberts was increased to $1 million on May 24, and investigators are now seeking a murder indictment against the suspect.

The Hamilton police arrested Roberts soon after the shooting, and investigators said he was the only shooter in a drive-by

incident in the 500 block of East Avenue. Uppal was taken to a hospital in Fort Hamilton and then airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital, according to news reports. World Sikh News reported that the 32year old Uppal hailed from Nadala village near Kapurthala in Punjab. He died after 10 days of fighting death.

NEW YORK: Fashion designer Kate Spade, who was found dead in her apartment here, was depressed over her business problems and separation from her husband, which was causing her to drink a lot, said police officials. Law enforcement sources told tmz.com that Kate was alone in her apartment when she tied a scarf around her neck, attached it to her closet door knob and hanged herself in her bedroom. According to tmz.com, her husband, Andy Spade, was not in the apartment. The sources said that he told the cops, he was separated from Kate for a couple of months. Andy also told the cops that Kate “was drinking a lot,” and was depressed by business problems and their separation. As tmz.com reported, he wanted a divorce but she did not. It puts her suicide note in a somewhat different light. In the note, she tells her 13-year-old daughter it was not her fault, adding, “Ask Daddy!” suggesting that she blames Andy. — IANS

Liquids and sorbets: Invite divine drinks into your life like kokum water, coconut water, chaas, fruit slushes and also frozen iced sorbets They work well to restore electrolyte balance and also provide healthy and interesting ways to pack in those nutrients. Water and infused water: Apart from increasing your levels of water consumption to about 10-12 glasses per day, you can also take care of both dehydration and nutrition by adding a small piece of fresh fruit like kiwi or strawberry or even basil to your water with a pinch of Sugar Free Green.

Don’ts: Excess protein: Proteins are harder to digest in general and coupled with heat and dehydration, could leave you feeling uncomfortable and possibly nauseous if consumed in excess. The recommended daily intake of protein is one gram per kilo of ideal body weight (the appropriate weight for your height). Alcohol: The harsh reality is that alcohol adds to more heat; it is a vasodilator, which means that more blood gushes through your system leaving you feeling hotter and sweatier. It is also extremely dehydrating. Oily food: When bodies are not hydrated, they are not always able to expel all by-products of heavier, oilier foods through the kidney. To counter this, the load of excreting oily food comes on to the skin - the second largest excretory organ - which will make you sweat more, dehydrate you further, kick-starting a vicious cycle.

ake your contribution in saving the Earth by using biodegradable sanitary pads, organic jeans and 100 percent vegan skincare products. This June 5th, the World Environment Day, lets make a conscious effort and change the dynamics of the depleting environment. Manohar Kamath, Head at Myntra Fashion Brands, who has introduced organic jeans to the brand’s collection, has given few inputs: v Use 100 per cent organic cotton jeans, recycled poly jeans where each pair uses between 9-21 bottles worth of plastic for production, and

reduced water jeans where each pair saves on 36 litres of water. Shankar Prasad, Founder at Plum, and Cyril Feuillebois, Founder at Kronokare, have given inputs on why it will be good to

switch to organic and vegan skincare products: v The products we are choosing for self care and better health are exposing us to even more chemicals and toxins causing more harm than good to our quality of living, health and wellness. However, a subtle shift in the consumer mindset is discernible, with more and more people are opting for chemical free, organic, natural or vegan products. Tanvi Johri, Founder at Carmesi, an all-natural sanitary pads brand, said that biodegradable pads, which are made of sustainable materials like bamboo fiber and corn starch, decompose within 6-12 months of being disposed off.

Having more friends can improve brain health IANS, NEW YORK

aving more friends and strong social connections may slow brain aging, preserve the mind and improve the quality of life, new research suggests. According to the study, brain function in the hippocampus—area associated with memory—declines with age. Exercise and social ties are known to preserve memory in this region in people. “Our research suggests that merely having a larger social network can positively influence the aging brain,” said lead researcher Elizabeth Kirby from the Neurological Institute at Ohio State University-

Larger social network may help preserve memories (Photo: pexels.com)

Columbus, the US. In the study, published in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, the team studied two groups of mice for three months. While one group lived in pairs, which

Kirby refers to as the “old-couple model”, the other group lived with six other roommates. The results showed that mice who were living in a group had better brain health and memory.

Talking to Karan Johar refreshes me: Alia

Good food can cheer up Katrina anytime

or actress Katrina Kaif, gorging on good food equals happiness. “Food gets me going. Nothing can cheer me up better than a good meal,” Katrina said in a statement. The actress shared her foodie secrets as part of The Times of India’s #FlirtWithYourCity campaign for its supplements across Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bengaluru. When it comes to Mumbai and Delhi, Katrina loves the street food. “I love street food and any street place that offers ‘paya’ with ‘kadak pav’ will instantly be a favorite for me. I can eat my heart out with ‘paya’ and pav. I also love seafood, with prawns and crabs being my comfort food. Mumbai being a coastal city has some of the best seafood restaurants, especially around Mahim and Juhu,” she said.

ctress Alia Bhatt says can talk to Karan Johar about anything under the sun and that having a chat with the filmmaker refreshes her. The actress has associated with Star Plus. As a part of it, she featured in a video of a new song for the channel. She experiences a multitude of emotions as she interacts with actors across the shows aired on the channel. “One person who I can talk to anything under the sun; be it personal, pro-

‘I take up roles that I feel I would fail in’

ushant Singh Rajput is going to portray some never-seen-before roles in his forthcoming projects including Kedarnath and Sonchiriya. The actor says that he always opts for characters that he feels he would fail in because that way it becomes a challenge for him to “outdo” himself. “I take up roles that I feel I would fail in and then it becomes like a challenge for me to outdo myself. My philosophy of success in life is to find different ways of failing, I would fail three to four times but the fifth time when I succeed it would be my personal experience, it would help me emerge as a person,” Sushant told IANS in an email interview.

I’m extremely critical of myself: Diana Penty

ctress Diana Penty, who is enjoying the successful run of her film Parmanu - The Story of Pokhran at the box office, says she is “extremely critical” of herself as it helps her get better in her craft and learn the nuances of acting. “I’m happy that the film has been well received. It’s a story we couldn’t wait to share with the audience as it is a matter of great pride for every Indian.” Diana told IANS in an email interview. “The best feeling for any actor is his or her film being appreciated and the positive word of mouth that Parmanu... has garnered is testament to that,” she added.

fessional, philosophical and something that gives me a good and fun perspective in Karan Johar. Talking to him refreshes me to another level,” Alia said in a statement. Karan had launched the career of Alia with his 2012 film Student of the Year.

‘I am comfortable in my own world’

ctor Harshvardhan Kapoor, whose latest film Bhavesh Joshi Superhero sees him play a common man who takes on socio-political issues head on, says that in real life he is comfortable in his own world and doesn’t take interest in forming an opinion on anything political. “I am someone who is very comfortable in my own world and I know it is not a good thing. I really do not take much interest in forming an opinion on anything political because I am not inclined to that,” Harshvardhan told IANS.

Arbaaz Khan ‘admits’ to betting

When summoned before the Anti Extortion Cell, Arbaaz not only ‘admitted’ to betting in the IPL for more than five years but also losing a large amount in the last IPL (2018) series IANS, THANE (MAHARASHTRA)

Filmmaker Sajid Khan may be quizzed

ollywood actor-producer Arbaaz Khan is understood to have admitted to betting in the Indian Premier League (IPL) series and losing huge amounts, police sources said. Arbaaz has not only admitted to betting in the IPL for more than five years but also losing a large amount in the last IPL (2018) series and the habit had also affected his marriage with Malaika, (whom he subsequently divorced). His confession came before a team of Thane Anti Extortion Cell (AEC) which is probing the IPL betting scam since the past five-six years involving several billions of rupees, the sources said. Arbaaz, 50, who was summoned before the AEC, was confronted with a prominent bookie Sonu Jalan alias Sonu Batla, who was arrested and remanded five days ago, besides four other bookies nabbed late last month. Though officials refused to

‘Toilet: Ek Prem...’ to release in China

speak on record, sources said Arbaaz allegedly admitted to betting a huge amount and also losing a bigger amount in the IPL bets after which he was reportedly harassed and threatened by Jalan for coughing the amount. Arbaaz’s name first cropped up during Jalan’s custodial interroga-

tion. Recoveries of his diary with handwritten entries and some photographs led to Arbaaz being summoned by the AEC Chief Pradeep Sharma. An investigating officer told the media this afternoon that so far six accused have been arrested in the case while laptops and CDs recovered from them have

award comes a sense of responsibility which I promise to be committed to, in our industry and also, as a representative of our country in the international arena.”

Anupam, who has starred in over 500 films including international films, started his career in 1984 with Saaransh. Over his three-decade long journey in Hindi filmdom he has also appeared in many acclaimed international films such as the Golden Globe nominated Bend It Like Beckham, Ang Lee’s Golden Lionwinning Lust, and David O. Russell’s Oscar-winning Silver Linings Playbook. He has also been honored with the Padma Shri in 2004 and the Padma Bhushan in 2016 for his contribution in the field of cinema and arts. IIFA Awards will be held from June 21 to 24.

MUMBAI: Anil Dhirubhai Ambani-led Reliance Entertainment is releasing Akshay Kumar-starrer Toilet: Ek Prem Katha in China on June 8, retitled as Toilet Hero in Mandarin for Chinese audiences. The film is co-produced through Reliance Entertainment and Friday Filmworks’ collaborative banner, Plan C Studios, with Neeraj Pandey and Shital Bhatia. The release marks Reliance Entertainment’s return to the Chinese market after 3 Idiots, read a statement. Toilet Hero will release in over 4,300 screens across China, reflecting a 50 per cent higher screen count compared to its original release in India. It has already been screened to an overwhelming response at the Beijing Film Festival in April 2018, at an event attended by director Narayan Singh and creative producers Neeraj Pandey and Shital Bhatia. “Our issues and cultures bear a lot of similarity and I hope Toilet Hero gets the same appreciation and love in China,” said Akshay.

Veere Di Wedding: Trite, flighty and clichéd

Film: “Veere Di Wedding”; Director: Shashanka Ghosh; Cast: Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Shikha Talsania, Swara Bhaskar, Sumeet Vyas, Ekavali Khanna, Edward Sonnenblick, Vivek Mushran, Neena Gupta, Manoj Pahwa; Rating: **1/2

stantly trying to get her hooked. Sakshi (Swara Bhaskar) is married and going through a rough patch. She is contemplating a divorce.

Meera (Shikha Talsania) married to John (Edward Sonnenblick) a foreigner against her parents’ wishes is now a mother of a young boy. And, Kalindi, coming to terms with her disintegrated family, is unsure of herself.

The plot rambles with the complexities that adorn the lives of the quartet — “family, relationship and rishte-daari”. There is a stage in the film when Avni screams, Bakwaas bahut ho gaya, baas. That’s the exact time when she voices the audiences’ sentiments too. That apart, somewhere down the line, the film hooks you on. And with Rishabh admitting that he is unsure of getting out of his family mess, you feel sad for the couple. How the other three friends rally around, to set things right for the couple, make for an interesting but clichéd viewing. —Troy Ribeiro
