NEW DELHI: Actress Esha Gupta turned many heads when she walked as the showstopper in a pink lehenga by designer Yoshita Yadav at the seventh edition of India Runway Week (IRW).

Yadav showcased her collection inspired by the city of Lucknow on Saturday here.

“In this season’s collection, we at Yoshita Couture have used 100 per cent raw silks, woven in Varanasi and Bengaluru. In this collection, one can see a vivid representation of motifs taken from Bara Imambara, Chhota Imambara and the Rumi Darwaza,” she said in a statement. The second day of IRW started with college students walking on the ramp in creations of students from Apeejay Institute of Design.

Designer Disha Doshi Gandhi also showcased her collection titled Euphoria.

Designer Payal & Zinal presented their collection titled Vida De Frida, which was based on the theme -age of “ungender”, highlighting that a person matters and not his or her gender. The Rachat collection by designers Shruti and Rohan revolved around the personal emo-

US dubbing Pak ‘terror sponsor’ A bill “ Pakistan State Sponsor of Terrorism Designation Act” has been introduced in the US Congress, even as the members come down heavily on Sunday’s cross-border terror attack in Uri IANS, WASHINGTON

US Congress strongly condemn Uri attack

A

bill has been introduced in the US Congress describing Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism, even as members of the US Congress come down heavily on Sunday’s cross-border terror attack on an army base at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir in which 18 Indian soldiers lost their lives.

Congressman Ted Poe (Republican), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, along with Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (Republican) on September 20 introduced the Pakistan State Sponsor of Terrorism Designation Act. “Not only is Pakistan an untrustworthy ally, Islamabad has also aided and abetted enemies of the United States for years,” Poe said in a statement. “From harboring Osama bin Laden to its cozy rela-

BRIEFS: Protests in US after police kills black man WASHINGTON: Protests erupted in North Carolina state of the US after an African-American police officer shot dead a black man while serving a warrant for a different person in Charlotte city.

At least seven persons were transported to hospital with minor injuries, CNN reported. Five others have been arrested during the protest after a Charlotte police officer killed Keith Lamont Scott on September 20 afternoon.

According to the police, the man they shot had a gun and posed an “imminent deadly threat”, but his family said he was carrying a book.

Though the police insisted the man “was armed”, he’s not the one police were looking for, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said in a statement.

Sarna new Indian Ambassador to US NEW DELHI: India’s High Commissioner to Britain Navtej Sarna was appointed as the next Ambassador to the US as that country prepares for a presidential transition.

“Navtej Singh Sarna (IFS: 1980) has been appointed as the next Ambassador of India to the United State of America,” an External Affairs Ministry statement said.

“He is expected to take up the assignment shortly,” it added.

tionship with the Haqqani network, there is more than enough evidence to determine whose side Pakistan is on in the War on Terror. And it’s not America’s,” he said.

According to Poe, the bill will require the US President Barack

Obama’s administration to formally answer this question. “The President must issue a report within 90 days of passage detailing whether or not Pakistan has provided support for international terrorism,” the Congressman said.

WASHINGTON: Members of the US Congress have come down heavily on September 18 crossborder terror attack from Pakistan on an army base at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir in which 18 Indian soldiers lost their lives.

“I condemn the horrible terror attack against an Indian Army Base in Uri in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the death of 18 Indian soldiers,” Senator Mark Warner, Co-Chair of the Senate India Caucus said.

“The terrorists who perpetrated this cowardly act must be brought to justice,” he stated, adding, “I extend condolences to the family and friends of the Soldiers who lost their lives.”

—IANS

“Thirty days after that, the Secretary of State must issue a follow-up report containing either a determination that Pakistan is state sponsor of terrorism or a detailed justification as to why Pakistan does not meet the legal criteria for designation.”

Poe said it was time the US stopped paying Pakistan “for its betrayal and designate it for what it is: a state sponsor of terrorism”.

Stating that though it was not clear which terrorist group was behind the attack, he said one things was certain: “This is just the latest consequence of Pakistan’s longstanding irresponsible policy of supporting and providing operational space for all stripes of jihadi terrorist groups. Pakistan’s reckless behavior in this regard is a serious security risk to its neighbors — and India unfortunately pays the price all too often.”

George H.W. Bush to vote for Hillary Clinton IANS, WASHINGTON

F

ormer US President George H.W. Bush has planned to vote for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the upcoming November 8 elections, a media report said.

The news was revealed on September 19 by Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, a Democrat and brother of slain President John F. Kennedy,

Politico reported.

Townsend posted a picture on her Facebook page next to the 92year-old former president with the caption: “The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”

In a telephone interview, Townsend said she met with Bush in Maine, where she said he made his preference known that he was voting for a Democrat.

Ahmad Khan Rahami, the man wanted for questioning in connection with bombings in New York and Seaside Park, New Jersey, is also believed to be connected to the pipe bombs found in a backpack on Sunday night in Elizabeth, New Jersey, CNN quoted sources as saying.

The New York police announced earlier they are looking for Rahami for questioning in connection with

the Saturday bombing in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, which injured 29 people.

Bombings in New York and New Jersey over the weekend as well as the discovery of several unexploded

devices have led authorities to believe there may be a terror cell at work in those two states, law enforcement officials told CNN on September 19.

The New York City Police Department earlier on September 19 released a photograph of Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old New Jersey resident, as the suspect in the Manhattan explosion incident.

Rahami was described as a naturalized US citizen who was born in Afghanistan on January 23, 1988, Xinhua news agency reported.

“I want to be very clear that this individual could be armed and dangerous,” said Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York city.

India ups the ante against Pak Following the terror attack on an army base in Kashmir that killed 18 soldiers, Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar said India is capable of a ‘knee jerk reaction’ IANS, NEW DELHI

I

ndia stepped up its diplomatic offensive against Pakistan by summoning Islamabad’s envoy in New Delhi on Wednesday to hand over a list of evidences about his country’s complicity in a cross-border terror attack on an army base in Kashmir on Sunday that killed 18 soldiers.

Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar summoned High Commissioner Abdul Basit to remind him of his government’s “solemn commitment in January 2004 to not allow its soil or territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India.

“The persistent and growing violation of this undertaking is a matter of very serious concern,” a statement from the External Affairs Ministry said.

India has said that the four terrorists who attacked the military base and were killed in a gunfight came from across the Line of Control (LoC) —the de facto border dividing Jammu and Kashmir between the two countries.

The statement also listed the

NEW DELHI: India on Thursday hit back at Pakistan, saying the “glorification” of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani at the UN General Assembly showed Islamabad’s “attachment to terrorism”.

Pakistan is in complete denial of its complicity in Sunday’s cross-border terror attack on an army base at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir in which 18 Indian soldiers lost their lives, India said after Pakistan Prime Min-

Uri attack: Limited military options?

AROONIM BHUYAN, NEW DELHI

D

espite the clamor for retaliatory action to Sunday’s daring cross-border terror attack from Pakistan on an army base at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir that claimed the lives of 18 soldiers, experts and analysts are of the view that India has limited military options and should look for other paths.

“At best, if the (Indian) army finds Pakistani soldiers exposed on the other side of the border, they can target them with artillery fire and small arms fire,” Ajai Sahni,

Wife of Havildar Ashok Kumar Singh who was killed in the attack.

counter-terrorism expert and Executive Director of the Institute for Conflict Management, told IANS. “There are no military options available because military capacity

in India has been eroded by the lack of investments and by corruption over the decades,” he said.

The India Army has blamed the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) for the early morning attack.

According to C. Uday Bhaskar, security analyst and Director, Society for Policy Studies, “emotive rhetoric cannot replace resolute action” on the ground. “India has a modest range of military options - tri-service and not just army -which has been conveyed to the political apex in the aftermath of Mumbai 2008,” Bhaskar said.

ister Nawaz Sharif did not mention a word of the incident in his address at the 71st Session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

“Pak PM Sharif at #UNGA in complete denial of Uri terror attack. 19 infiltration attempts stopped at LoC this year. Indigenous??!!,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup tweeted soon after Sharif finished his speech on Wednesday at UNGA. —IANS

India to merge rail, general budgets NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday decided to bid adieu to three Britishera legacies — the 92 year-old practice of separate general and rail budgets by unifying them, ending the distinction between plan and nonplan expenditures and advancing the presentation date in Parliament from the last week of February.

“From the coming year, the Railway and the General budgets will be amalgamated. There will be only one budget,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in New Delhi after a cabinet meeting, presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Delhi. But the decision was preceded by some drama after Lekhi, who represents New Delhi constituency

in the Lok Sabha, suggested that Race Course Road must be renamed as Ekatma Marg.

The AAP, which along with the BJP has a say in the working of the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), the civic agency which presides over the heart of Delhi, veted the suggestion.

The AAP first said the road should be renamed after a war hero and on Wednesday proposed that it be named after Guru Gobind Singh.

Eventually, a compromise was reached to call it Lok Kalyan Marg.

“We all joined politics inspired by public welfare (Lok Kalyan),” Lekhi said.

Pakistan a terrorist state: India Referring to Pakistan, India said at the United Nations that terrorist organizations and their leaders, ‘continue to roam its streets freely and operate with state support’

Pakistan backing terrorists: Afghanistan

ARUL LOUIS, UNITED NATIONS

I

ndia has raised the possibility that Pakistan is guilty of “war crimes” by sponsoring terrorism as an instrument of state policy, delivering one of the harshest criticism of its neighbor in an international forum in recent times.

Formally responding to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s attacks on India during his speech to the General Assembly on Wednesday, Indian diplomat Eenam Gambhir said, “The worst violation of human rights is terrorism. When practiced as an instrument of state policy it is a war crime.”

Gambhir, who is a First Secretary at India’s UN Mission, was exercising the right of reply to Sharif’s caustic statements about India.

She accused Pakistan of being “a terrorist state, which channelizes billions of dollars, much of it diverted

SHORT TAKES India, US discuss with Afghanistan NEW DELHI: India and the US discussed with Afghanistan its development goals and steps to counter terrorism in a trilateral meeting on the sidelines of the 71st Session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

“Reaffirming their shared interests in advancing peace and security in the region, as well as countering terrorism, all sides welcomed the discussions,” a joint press statement issued after the meeting on Wednesday said.

42 killed in migrant boat capsize off Egypt’s coast CAIRO: At least 42 persons were killed after a boat with some 600 refugees on board capsized off the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, authorities said.

The accident occurred on Sep 21 near Kafr al-Shiekh governorate. A senior official told EFE news that the boat was carrying mainly Egyptians, Syrians, Sudanese, Eritrean and Somali migrants. At least 10 women and two children were among the victims.

According to local media, the coast guard have rescued some 150 survivors from the boat, meaning some 400 were still missing. A local government spokesperson could confirm that the number of people found alive was 105, and that some 100 of them have been transferred to a public hospital.

from international aid, to training, financing and supporting terrorist groups as militant proxies against it neighbors.”

Gambhir invoked the 9/11 attacks on New York’s World Trade

Center that killed about 3,000 people in 2001 and marked a tectonic shift in the international recognition of the horrors of terrorism.

“The world has not yet forgotten that the trail of that dastardly attack

led all the way to Abbottabad in Pakistan,” she said.

Terrorist organizations and their leaders, “continue to roam its streets freely and operate with state support,” Gambhir said.

UNITED NATIONS: Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of backing terrorists waging a “full-scale war” and warned that it reserves the right to do “whatever is necessary for the defense and protection” of its people. It called on the international community to eliminate terrorism safe havens.

Afghanistan’s Vice President Sarwar Danesh told the General Assembly summit, “We have repeatedly asked our neighboring country Pakistan to destroy the known terrorist safe havens, but we unfortunately are yet to witness any change in the situation.”

He spoke before Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was scheduled to speak at the Assembly.

Security Council’s effectiveness at risk: Ban ARUL LOUIS, UNITED NATIONS

F

ailure to reform the Security Council puts at risk its “effectiveness and legitimacy”, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon warned on Tuesday.

Speaking at the opening of the General Assembly summit here, Ban said: “Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Member States have still not agreed on a formula for reform of the Security Council -- a continuing risk to its effectiveness and legitimacy.”

“Far too often, I have seen widelysupported proposals blocked, in the name of consensus, by a few or sometimes even just one country,” he said. “We see this being done by large and small countries alike.”

US ‘holds Russia responsible’ for aid attack IANS, WASHINGTON

T

he US has said it holds Russia responsible for a deadly attack on an aid convoy near the Syrian city of Aleppo on Monday. The White House on Tuesday called it an “enormous humanitarian tragedy” and US officials have told the BBC that two Russian war planes were responsible for the attack.

Russia strongly denies involvement of its own or Syrian planes, and says the incident was caused by fire on the ground and not by an air strike. “There are no craters and the exterior of the vehicles do

not have the kind of damage consistent with blasts caused by bombs

dropped from the air,” a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry said.

The country’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said the US government had “no facts” to support its claim, adding: “We have nothing to do with this situation.”

Speaking earlier about Monday’s attack on the aid convoy, US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said two Russian SU-24 attack aircraft were in the sky above the convoy at the precise moment it was hit in Urum al-Kubra.

The strike, they added, was too sophisticated to have been carried out by the Syrian army.

Council reform process, which has broad support across the UN, has been stymied for over two decades by some countries insisting on a consensus.

Criticizing the functioning of the Council where the five permanent members wield veto powers, Ban said: “Time and again, I have seen essential action and good ideas blocked in the Security Council.”

Delivering his final speech at a UN summit, Ban, whose term ends this year, also admonished other UN institutions saying that essential action and ideas were “blocked in the General Assembly.

Blocked in the budget process, blocked in the Conference on Disarmament and other bodies.”

Pakistan to miss Saarc security meet in Delhi NEW DELHI: Amid a spike in bilateral tensions in the wake of the Uri attack, Pakistan is giving a miss to a two-day meeting of security experts and intelligence top brass from Saarc member nations beginning in New Delhi from Thursday.

India okays I $1 billion highway projects

RUPESH DUTTA, NEW DELHI

The primary idea behind the Bangladesh-BhutanIndia-Nepal (BBIN) road initiative is to improve ground connectivity in the region

ndia has approved an ambitious $1.04-billion project for constructing and upgrading 558 km of roads to link it with Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal and ease the movement of passengers and cargo, as part of the larger effort to increase intraregional trade by 60 per cent.

The new project has been given an official nod by India’s Department of Economic Affairs with 50 per cent funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), officials told IANS, adding that the road project will cover West Bengal and Manipur on the Indian side, as of now.

“The mandate is for completing the project within the next two years,” a senior official said.

“The primary idea behind the Bangladesh-Bhutan-India-Nepal (BBIN) road initiative is to improve ground connectivity in the region,” said Leena Nandan, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

“We have taken up five high-

way stretches in the country, which are very important for such a connectivity to succeed.

This project is entirely different and new -- and about to be rolled out,” Nandan told IANS. The project -- as per a list accessed by IANS -- includes, among others, an upgrade of the

122-km Siliguri-Mirik-Darjeeling ($15 million) and the widening of the 60-km National Highway-35 (Kolkata-Bangaon) on the border with Bangladesh ($130 million).

It also includes a new 123-km road to connect with Diamond

harbour, on the outskirts of Kolkata, at a cost of $250 million. All these are in West Bengal and will be entrusted to the state’s Public Works Department for execution, officials said.

“This apart, two highways are going to come up in Manipur -115-km Ukhrul-Tolloi-Tadubi ($230 million) and a 138-km split, four-lane road between the Kohima-Kedima Kring-Imphal section of National Highway-39 ($280 million),” said A.D. James, Deputy Secretary at the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.

“These two roads are to be executed by the National Highway Infrastructure Development Corp. They are currently in the DPR (detailed project report) stage,” James told IANS. Officials are also looking at the possibility of shorter routes.

Apart from the works under the $1 billion project, a 600 metre bridge and a 110 km-road in the Impal-Moreh stretch of Manipur are also being planned under the broader BBIN road initiative.

India’s Levant, Gulf visits: A diplomatic correction Last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after over three decades. This year, he visited Saudi Arabia and Iran in quick succession AROONIM BHUYAN, NEW DELHI

A

flurry of high-level visits from India to countries in the Levant and the Gulf is being seen as a corrective policy in India’s diplomatic engagements with these regions.

Consider this. Minister of State for External Affairs M.J. Akbar last month visited Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, Levant countries to which one cannot even remember when the last Indian high-level visits happened. This month, he visited Iran.

Around the same time, the other Minister of State for External Affairs, V.K. Singh, visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Libya, all countries with big expatriate Indian populations. In the case of Libya

though, the number has significantly come down because of the security situation there. Last year, Prime

Minister Narendra Modi visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a prime ministerial visit that hap-

pened after over three decades. This year, he visited Saudi Arabia and Iran in quick succession.

“Akbar’s visits (to the Levant countries) were long overdue,” a well-informed source with knowledge of the government’s diplomatic initiatives told IANS here.

“This can be seen as a corrective policy on the part of the government in terms of diplomatic engagements with these regions,” the source said.

A veteran journalist, M.J. Akbar was appointed as a Minister of State in July and observers here say that he is being sent to these countries for his wide knowledge of the region. On the other hand, the Gulf region is a source of significant remittances from expatriate Indians

there, most of who work in the infrastructure sector.

“In 2015-16 alone, India received $35.9 billion in remittances (from the Gulf region) which is over half of what we get in remittances annually,” the source stated. Compared to the Chinese who are also present in these countries, Indians integrate well with the societies there.

These countries form India’s extended neighbourhood to the west and are important in terms of energy security and counter-terrorism efforts, especially with the rise of the quasi-state terror outfit Islamic State (IS).

Syria, according to experts, has a wealth of information on the IS which is reportedly recruiting people from the South Asian region too.

Want decent way for Pak to quit Balochistan: Bugti

My request to India is to provide me asylum and travel documents, Baloch nationalist leader tells IANS KUSHAGRA DIXIT AND ASHISH MISHRA, NEW DELHI

A

t a time when Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has been speaking of “atrocities” in Jammu and Kashmir and the right of the people to determine their own future, Baloch nationalist leader Brahumdagh Bugti says this is precisely what the people of Balochistan want as they seek to unshackle themselves from Islamabad.

At the same time, the Baloch Republican Party (BRP) president, who lives in exile in Switzerland, said he was open to dialogue if that would arrive at a “decent way that Pakistan quits our country”, even as he expressed confidence that India would accept his request for asylum -- now referred to the Union Home Ministry.

Bugti spoke on myriad issues during an hour-long telephonic conversation with IANS. Excerpts: Q: Why do you want asylum in India?

A: The Indian people know the problem and the situation in Balochistan very well, especially after the speech of the Prime Minister of India. It would be wise to be around people who support our cause as we both have been victims of the same Pakistani terrorist army.

Beside, I am voice of my people.

We (India and Balochistan) were forcibly separated. We get “apnapan” (closeness) in India. Millions of Indians sent me encouraging messages. Such love and respect I can’t find in any other country.

Also, I am unable to move from Switzerland, which is frustrating.

Being a representative of my people I need to sit with international forums, especially in the US, and discuss our issues with the lawmakers and congressmen there to expose the real face of Pakistan. Today, no one can visit Balochistan, be it media, human rights organizations or NGOs. My request to India is to provide me asylum and travel documents.

With the help of Indian, Afghan and Bangladesh governments we want to convince the U.S. that its military or monetary support to Pakistan is being used against the Baloch people.

Balochis, Indians protest outside UN against Pak UNITED NATIONS: Balochis and Indians held protests against Pakistan across the street from the UN office in New York city.

Anti-Pakistan NGO, American Friends of Balochistan protested over the repression in the Pakistani province and pleaded for UN intervention to protect the Balochis. About 40 people participated in the demonstration held behind steel barricades in the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza.

Ahmad Mushtikhan of the American Friends of Balochistan said, “We are happy that (Indian) Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken out on Balochistan. Our people are overjoyed by the support of the Indian people.”

Later some of them joined a

protest by the Indian American Community, where slogans were shouted and placards raised in support of the Balochistan people.

“Balochi, Bharathi, Bhai, Bhai,” was one of the slogans chanted at the protest.

The Indian protest was held long after Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had spoken because of a change in the premier’s speaking schedule. He was originally to have been one of the last speakers of the day, but his slot was moved to a morning slot.

The Indian protest with about 75 people was against Islamabadbacked terrorist attacks on India and the ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir.

—IANS The Baloch Republican Party (BRP) president Brahumdagh Bugti. (File photo)

Q: The Baloch people are agitating all over the world but their seems a disunity among Baloch leaders. Why are Baloch leaders not united?

A: All of them are respected people and I honour them all from the bottom of my heart, but to be a leader means to lead a political party or an organisation or any other group that is responsible.

When I went to the Indian consulate (in Geneva), Mehran Marri (son of Baloch nationalist leader Khair Bakhsh Marri) was with me.

He is not from my party but we are all together.

Everyone is doing good job in their own way; there are no differences amongst us and even if there is some disparity then its a completely normal thing. At last we all have the same vision of a free Balochistan.

Q: Earlier you said that you are ready to talk with Pakistan. Is their still such a scope, and under what circumstance would you talk with the Pakistani government?

A: Talks are always welcome. We are peaceful political people and believe in a peaceful solution.

There are other freedom fighters in Balochistan who are struggling through arms but we are not part of that movement.

It is the Pakistani Army that always tends to solve the problem through force, by picking people from their houses, torturing and killing them and throwing their bodies on the roadside.

I am voice of my people. We (India and Balochistan) were forcibly separated.

We get “apnapan” (closeness) in India.

Millions of Indians sent me encouraging messages.

So, if Pakistan accepts that what they have done is wrong, that this madness has no benefit for them, and that their occupation is illegal, and that they will withdraw from Balochistan, then yes, let’s sit and we’ll discuss what’s the decent way that Pakistan quits our country.

Q: What are your views on the armed struggle of the Baloch people and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) militia?

A: I am not part of them though I took up arms when I was in Balochistan for self-defence. There

was an army operation going on then which still continues. My grandfather was killed and we escaped to Afghanistan carrying guns to protect ourselves.

People who can struggle through arms do that and those who can’t, they sit like me in Europe to find a political solution because the Baloch people don’t have any other option.

They are not terrorists, they are not doing any activity in Punjab or anywhere outside Balochistan. They are fighting on their own land, defending their own resources, women and children. Pakistan Army shoots people from gunship helicopters, bombards villages, so they should expect a resistance.

Q: US State Department spokesperson John Kirby said earlier this month it is against Balochistan’s independence. Your comment?

A: America is a superpower and will not directly speak in support of an independent Balochistan.

They did not condemn our movement and also raised concerns over the human rights violations in Balochistan. I think this is not bad but very positive.

If they say that America supports the Balochistan independence movement then it would become

their responsibility to support the cause. On the other hand, Baloch nationalists are getting asylum in the US. We are not restricted by the US government in activities regarding the Balochistan freedom movement.

Through their actions they (America and other countries) are already supporting us.

Q: If independent, what kind of country would Balochistan be?

What would be the status of Baloch minorities?

A: The fate of a free Balochistan depends on the people there. I cannot impose things upon them. I will contest elections to represent my ‘kaum’. If people choose me or anyone else, he or she would do according to the wish of the people. But it would be a democratic nation. We are open-minded people. Around 8,000 Hindus live inside our fort in Dera Bugti because they felt protected. Their temple and our mosque both are inside that fort. They all were happy. We have great respect for all faiths. Hindus and Sikhs still live in Dera Bugti. We respect, protect and encourage our minorities who have equal rights.

The cabinet also decided to request state Governor Vajubhai R Vala to convene a special session of the state legislature on September 23 to discuss the order, as the state is not in a position to release more water due to distress arising out of deficit monsoon rains in the river basin.

“If a war is required, do it for the country, not for elections,” Thackeray said. He pointed out that the Uri attack has enraged the people of the country, “but when are we going to understand Pakistan’s language and change our soft stance towards them?” We must keep in mind how Pakistan treats India and give a befitting reply.. , Thackeray said.

The cabinet would request state Governor to convene a special session of the state legislature on September 23 to discuss the order

A division bench of the apex court this week ordered the state to release 6,000 cusecs per day from Wednesday for a week till September 27, doubling the quantum (3,000 cusecs) fixed by its appointed Cauvery Supervisory Committee on Monday for 10 days till Sep-

tember 30.

The state has already released 12,000 cusecs daily till September 20 as per the top court’s September 12 order, which was a modification of its September 5 directive to release 15,000 cusecs daily for 10 days from September 7.

Welcoming the cabinet decision, BJP’s state unit president B.S. Yeddyurappa said the opposition party’s lawmakers would attend the special session and participate in the discussion on the apex court’s order to release water or not.

The BJP had boycotted an allparty meeting the chief minister convened in the evening to discuss the apex court’s order, demanding the special legislative session for passing an unanimous resolution against release additional water to the lower riparian state.

“In such a crisis situation, legislature is the right forum to discuss the issue in detail and pass a resolution to protect the state’s interests and benefit the people,” Yeddyurappa, a Lok Sabha lawmaker from Shivamogga constituency, told reporters at Shivamogga, about 300 km from Bengaluru in the state’s Malnad region.

Heavy rains lash Maharashtra MUMBAI: Heavy rains continue to lash large parts of Maharashtra, with many areas recording threedigit (in millimeters) rainfall, including Mumbai and coastal districts, officials said here this week.

Similar rainy weather has been forecast over the next three-four days across most parts of the state, even as monsoon enters the petering-out phase.

Mumbai and surroundings were plagued by heavy traffic jams on the Eastern Express Highway and Western Express Highway, the east-west links, suburban and arterial roads, as well as those connecting Mumbai with the mainland in Thane and Raigad.

In some parts of Thane and Palghar, local schools and colleges remained shut due to waterlogging and stalled vehicular traffic even as the district authorities remained in a state of high alert for any natural disaster. In a major relief for the 17 million Mumbaikars, all the lakes supplying drinking water to the metropolis are full.

T

he Apex Council on river water-sharing between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh this week decided to install telemetry system and constitute a joint committee to study availability of water.

Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti told reporters after the first meeting of the council in New Delhi that the report of the joint committee will be sent to tribunal to allocate water to the two states.

The first meeting of the council was attended by Uma Bharti, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and his Telangana counterpart K. Chandrasekhar Rao. The irrigation ministers and top officials from both the states and the Centre also attended the meeting, which lasted for over two hours. The central minister said the meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere and there was agreement on three issues.

It was also agreed that a joint committee, comprising of engineers from the two states and from the Central Water Commission, will be constituted to study availability of water in the river basin.

Maharashtra: Dance bars, liquor to remain open IANS, NEW DELHI

T

erming the Maharashtra government’s restrictions on dance bars as “regressive by centuries”, the Supreme Court on Wednesday said dance bars in the state will continue to operate under the old terms that permitted serving of liquor, and the CCTV cameras kept only at the entrance.

Without putting on hold the new rules that requireinstallation of CCTV cameras in the dance bar area, limit the timing of the dances from 6 p.m. to 11.30 p.m., and prohibit serving of liquor in the bar room where dances are staged, Justice Dipak Misra and Justice C.

licence should be allowed to continue under old terms and conditions”.

“You ban liquor in the state,” the

bench said, “By imposing such restrictions you are going regressive by centuries”. The court’s observa-

tion came as it took exception to the new rules that prohibit serving of liquor at the dance bars.

The court was hearing a plea by Indian Hotel and Restaurant Association (AHAR) for interim relief on the rule that prohibited serving of liquor in the dance area and mandated installation of CCTV cameras at the place of dance.

The condition 12 of the rules regulating the dance bar says, “No alcoholic beverage shall be served in the bar room where dances are staged”.

The AHAR has challenged the constitutional validity of the Maharashtra Prohibition of Obscene Dance in Hotels, Restaurants and Bar Rooms and Protection of Dignity of Women Act, 2016.

India plays 500th Test match The contest is primarily being viewed as a battle between the New Zealand batsmen and the spin-oriented Indian bowlers in conditions favoring the home team in the series IANS, KANPUR

First Test: India wins toss

H

osts India will be targeting the Test team top spot when they face New Zealand in their historic 500th match starting here on September 22.

The contest is primarily being viewed as a battle between the New Zealand batsmen and the spin-oriented Indian bowlers in conditions favouring the home team in the three-match series.

Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will be leading the Indian bowling attack while Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson is the star batting attraction for the visitors.

The Green Park pitch here promises to be a spin-friendly wicket and the Indian tweakers will play a major role in the hosts’ ambition to become the top team. But all their plans can be dampened by rain as heavy downpour is forecast in the city’s next six-day weather reports.

Going by the spin-heavy conditions, Kohli will have no hesitation in going in with his spin trio — Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Amit Mishra.

On the other hand, the Kiwis had only played a warm-up game against Mumbai in Delhi, where their bowlers conceded runs. A rib injury to all-rounder Jimmy Neesham, who has been ruled out of the first Test, has also hampered their preparations. He is expected to be fit for the second Test, beginning on September 30 in Kolkata, hence New

Indian shooters win five medals in WC GABALA (AZERBAIJAN): Indian shooters enjoyed another successful day at the ongoing ISSF Junior World Cup, bagging five medals including three gold here.

The Indian tally now stands at 23 medals at the end of the fourth day of the competition. India has won a total of nine gold medals in the competition so far to be ranked second in the medals table behind Russia.

On September 21, India won two team gold medals in the men’s and women’s 25 meter Pistol events, while the third gold of the day came through Ahnad Jawanda in the individual men’s 25m Pistol competition. The day’s only silver medal came through Gurmeet who made it an Indian 12 in the men’s 25m Pistol event.

Ahnad, Gurmeet and Arjun Das won team gold.

KANPUR: Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bat in the first Test of the three match series against New Zealand at Green Park stadium here.

India in its historic 500th Test is playing with six batsmen, two fast bowlers and two spinners while the visiting New Zealand are playing with three spinners and two fast bowlers.

India has won 10 tests under Kohli’s captaincy.

A 1-0 or 2-1 win will take India to 111 points, equal to top spot holder Pakistan but ahead of them on decimal points. (File Photo: IANS)

Zealand have opted not to name any replacements.

He picked up the injury during training, and it had affected his par-

ticipation in the warm-up fixture against Mumbai in Delhi. He didn’t bat in either innings and bowled just five overs.

In the batting department, the Kiwi batsmen did not step up to the occasion as Martin Guptill, one of their best batsmen in recent times, lasted a mere 21 balls in his two innings. The Mumbai batsmen dominated the practice match with three batsmen striking a century each in the first innings.

India will also be without their experienced Delhi pacer Ishant Sharma, who is recovering from chikungunya.

The series will be a big test for the seasoned Rohit Sharma and opener Shikhar Dhawan, whose talent has always been a topic of discussion.

Speaking ahead of the match, India skipper Virat Kohli stressed on being positive and advised the players to handle the situation proactively. “The key is to remain positive and at the same time be solid and handle situations pro-actively,”

Teams: New Zealand : Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Kane Williamson (captain), Ross Taylor, Luke Ronchi, BJ Watling (wicket keeper), Mitchell Santner, Mark Craig, Neil Wagner, Ish Sodhi, Trent Boult India: Murli Vijay, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha (wicket keeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami.

Kohli said in a pre-match press conference on Wednesday.

A 1-0 or 2-1 win will take India to 111 points, similar to current top spot holder Pakistan but ahead of them on decimal points while a 2-0 win margin will see India surge ahead at 113 points.

A 3-0 win will move India to 115 points. New Zealand, which is currently on 95 points, will remain at the seventh position with any of these margins with the maximum drop to 91 points in case they lose all the three matches.

A 1-1 series draw will result in India dropping to the fourth position on 108 points and New Zealand rising to fifth on 97 points.

If New Zealand is able to beat India by 1-0 or 2-1, they will move to the fifth position at 100 points with India one slot ahead on fourth with 104 points.

He played his first Test against New Zealand in 1999. In 2000, however, he was dropped from India’s Test squad and did not play international cricket again.

He featured in 96 first-class matches, amassing 4,021 runs at an average of 27.73 and claimed 266 dismissals. He also scored 1,719 runs in 88 List A games.

Sajid Nadiadwala gets French honor

MUMBAI: Bollywood filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala was on Tuesday conferred France’s prestigious Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) award. He is thankful for the honor.

The honor is conferred on persons who have distinguished themselves by their creativity in the field of art, culture and literature or for their contribution to the influence of arts in France and throughout the world.

French Ambassador to India Alexandre Ziegler conferred the honor in recognition of Nadiadwala’s contribution to boosting IndoFrench partnership in cinema.

“I am very thankful to the French embassy for the honor that they have conferred upon me,” Nadiadwala, whose last movie “Tamasha” was shot widely in France’s picturesque Corsica island, said in a statement.

“France is a beautiful country which is not completely tapped into in our films. Shooting there has been such a delight thanks to the cooperation from them. Looking forward to associating with them more in the near future,” added the producer.

Some noted Indian recipients of this honor in the past include the late Sivaji Ganesan, melody queen Lata Mangeshkar, superstar Shah Rukh Khan and actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, among others.

Nadiadwala, who has backed films including “Judwaa”, “Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega”, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi” and “Housefull”, hails from a family of film stalwarts who have produced between them over 200 films since as early as 1955.

Never knew I could act: Sushant IANS, NEW DELHI

H

e made his Bollywood debut as a cricket fanatic in “Kai Po Che!” and he has graduated to bringing alive India’s most celebrated new-age cricketer — M.S. Dhoni — on the silver screen. Yet, actor Sushant Singh Rajput says he never knew he could act and that films happened as a natural progression from theatre and TV for him.

An actor who tasted fame with

Sushant Singh Rajput.

“Pavitra Rishta”, Sushant landed a key role in Abhishek Kapoor’s “Kai Po Che!” alongside Rajkummar

Rao and Amit Sadh. That marked the turning point in his career.

Looking back, he credits his small screen stint and theatre for the course that his career has taken.

“Everything I learnt in theatre and on TV has been instrumental to what I am doing right now because I never knew I could act,” Sushant told IANS here.

The 30-year-old star said that it was theatre that first helped him to “gain the kind of confidence” needed to be a performer.

‘Pink’: A modern masterpiece Film: “Pink”; Director: Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury; Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Tapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Andrea Tariang; Rating: *****

H

ow many films have you seen where you forget you are watching a film, where the line dividing the audience from the characters get so blurred as to make the distinction almost redundant?

“Pink” sucks us so deep into its characters’ lives that we come away breathess and anxious. For almost ten minutes after the end-titles, I couldn’t move from my seat. I had just seen what three Delhi girls had gone through because they decided to have a fun night out after a rock concert with some boys.

In Meenal (Taapsee Pannu), Falak (Kirti Kilhari) and Andrea (Andrea Tariang), I saw all our daughters, grappling with the befuddled notions of ‘What Men Can Do, What Women Can’t Do’ and what happens when women do what men say, women can’t do.

“Pink” is a very important film,

and not only because it addresses gender issues with such caustic elan, biting away at patriarchal prejudices with such skill and efficiency that we don’t even realize how much of the indictment the narrative presents against patriarchal bullying. The narrative plays Picsoutc a greatest lesson without glee or glory.

Leija noted that in the last fiscal year, the foundation provided $762,000 in college scholarships to 289 students.

“36 of our college students graduated,” he said.

By definition, foster youth are children without parental support, often abused, neglected and placed in state-supported care

with persons or families by welfare services or court order.

There are almost 3,000 children in the current foster care system, according to the foundation. Of these, over 200 will age out or be emancipated from the system by age 18, and statistically, 65 percent will emancipate with no place to live, while less than 2 percent will graduate from college, and 46 percent will not even graduate from high school.

Muslim marine’s death not suicide, says family

BY A STAFF WRITER HARLESTON, SC -- The family of the Taylor man who died during Marines Corps training is pushing back against claims by military officials that he committed suicide.

Raheel Siddiqui, 20, was in basic training with the Marines on Parris Island in South Carolina when he died March 18 after falling 40 feet in a stairwell.

Marine officials have said that Siddiqui killed himself, but in a statement released through their attorney, Shiraz Khan, the family said “we do not believe the story of Raheel committing suicide.”

“We believe there is a lack of material evidence needed to support ‘suicide’ as the most probable cause of death in this case,” the family said through Khan.

Siddiqui didn’t have any “disqualifying conditions, medical or otherwise, during recruiting and processing into the U.S. Marine Corps,” Khan said. “It’s impossible

C

Raheel siddiqui

for his family and friends to accept that he took his own life.”

Siddiqui, who was Pakistani-American Muslim, may have been targeted because of his ethnicity and religion, said family members.

A daily newspaper first reported the allegations from investigators that Siddiqui was abused, adding that investigators found

that the drill sergeant told the previous Muslim recruit he was a terrorist and involved in the September 11, 2001, attacks and once stuffed him into a clothes dryer.

The drill sergeant also reportedly called Siddiqui a terrorist.

Nabih Ayad, the previous attorney for the family, has said that shortly before Siddiqui died, the drill sergeant smacked the recruit after he became unresponsive. Ayad has said that Marines officials told the family that Siddiqui had told his supervisors in a note that he was suicidal, a claim the family thought was absurd because he was known to be a positive person.

Twenty personnel in the Marines could face disciplinary action tied to the case, officials have said.

The family has called for justice for all, regardless of their faith.

US Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Dearborn) and others have previously called for a full accounting of what happened to Siddiqui.

Malayalees in CT celebrate Onam

BY A STAFF WRITER RUMBULL, CT: Over 400 people from Fairfield County in the state of Connecticut participated in the 9th annual Onam celebrations organized by Malayalee Association of Southern Connecticut (MASCONN) at Madison Middle School, Trumbull, CT on September 17.

Men, women, children and youth dressed in traditional attire, were welcomed with a colorful Pookoalm and the traditional lamp at the entrance of school, giving them a warm traditional Indian welcome.

The four-hour-long cultural extravaganza was in many ways “reliving the culture and traditions” and a “cherishing the past with a view to passing it on to the future generation.”

The cultural events consisted of several live dances, classical Bharatnatyam, fusion, Bollywood, folk and contemporary dances, live music and songs, sung in Malayalam.

Children from the ages of five to older adults delighted the audience with their melodious voices, and several dances both

Ex-CEO faces 20-year jail for $30-m fraud

Navin Shankar Subramaniam Xavier

BY A STAFF WRITER LORIDA -- The former chief executive officer of Essex Holdings, Inc., has been charged with two separate fraud schemes totalling more than $30 million, according to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

The first scheme involved nearly 100 investors who purportedly purchased interests in sugar transportation and iron ore mining in Chile. The second scheme involved unlawfully obtaining economic development funds from the State of South Carolina.

Navin Shankar Subramaniam Xavier, 44, of Miramar, is charged by indictment with 15 counts of wire fraud. Xavier faces a maximum statutory sentence of 20 years in prison for each count and a fine up to $250,000.

According to the indictment, from September 2010 through May 2014, Xavier operated Essex Holdings, Inc., from an office in Miami Gardens, and raised more than $29 million from nearly 100 investors for supposed investments in sugar transportation and shipping, as well as iron ore mining in Chile.

Xavier used a false financial statement, forged documents, and false promises of fixed rates of return, to induce investors to invest with Essex Holdings. Most of the money was used for purposes other than what was promised, including supporting lavish spending by Xavier and his wife.

Eventually, Xavier used new investor money to pay old investors in a Ponzi-like fashion before the scheme collapsed.

The second scheme involved Xavier using Essex Holdings to obtain $1.2 million in payments and approximately $1.5 million worth of commercial real estate from the South Carolina Coordinating Council for Economic Development (SCCCED) that was supposed to be used to develop a dilapidated industrial property into a diaper plant and rice packaging facility.

f you are in your 30s or 40s and have a family history of dementia or Alzheimer’s, now is the time to start your fight to keep the disease at bay. At least for as long as you can.

Experts say that although there is no preventive measure to escape Alzheimer’s, being socially active and adopting a healthy lifestyle early can delay its outAlzheimer’s is set, maybe even a type of stop it altogether. dementia.

How smoking ups heart failure risk NEW YORK: Smoking is associated with thicker heart walls and reduction in the heart’s pumping ability -two factors linked to increased risk of heart failure, a new study warns.

That smoking is bad for heart has been known for long but the new study, in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Imagin, reveals a clear mechanism by which tobacco

may increase the risk of heart failure. “These data suggest that smoking can independently lead to thickening of the heart and worsening of heart function, which may lead to a higher risk for heart failure, even in people who don’t have heart attacks,” said lead author of the study Wilson Nadruz Jr from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. The study, conducted in participants of average age 75.7 and no obvious signs of cardiovascular disease, also found that higher rates of cumulative cigarette exposure -- measure of how much and how long people have smoked during their lifetime -were associated with greater heart damage.

Binge eating may up health problems IANS, NEW YORK

I

ndividuals with binge-eating disorder (BED) may be at high risk of getting diagnosed with illnesses associated with the endocrine and circulatory systems, a study suggests.

Binge-eating disorder is a serious eating disorder in which an individual frequently consumes unusually large amounts of food and is unable to stop craving for more.

Individuals with BED could be at an increased risk of 2.5-times of having an endocrine disorder and at 1.9-times of having a circulatory system disorder. The endocrine

system influences heart, bones and tissues growth, and even fertility.

It plays a vital role in determining whether there were chances of developing diabetes, thyroid disease, growth disorders, sexual dysfunction, and a host of other hor-

mone-related disorders.

BED is closely associated with hypertension - commonly called high blood pressure - that causes the heart to work harder and could lead to such complications as heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure, among others. Among individuals with obesity and BED, there is a 1.5-times increased risk of having a respiratory disease and a 2.6-times of having a gastrointestinal disease.

“We encourage clinicians to -have the conversation -- about BED with their patients,” said Professor Cynthia Bulik, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in the US.

reaches such a stage that it becomes difficult for the individual to lead a normal life. It is an incurable disease with a long and progressive course. According to the Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Society of India (ARDI), over 3.7 million people in India suffer from dementia.

According to doctors, this number is expected to double by 2030.

A report by ARDI further says that the estimated cost of taking care of a dementia patient is Rs 43,000 annually, and will only increase in the coming years. Sameer Malhotra, head of the Mental Health and Behavioral Science Department at Max Hospital, Delhi, said that although AD is not curable, a combination of medication along with lifestyle changes can slow down the degeneration process.

“A good diet, breathing exercises and good sleep are found to be helpful,” Malhotra said.

Loneliness may run in families NEW YORK: Loneliness is linked to poor physical and mental health, and a new study of more than 10,000 people has found that the risk for feeling lonely is at least partially due to genetics. Genetic risk for loneliness is also associated with neuroticism -- long-term negative emotional state -- and depressive symptoms, said the study published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.

Internet addiction may up risk of depression IANS, TORONTO

E

xcessive use of internet may significantly increase the risk of mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, especially among college-going students, a study has found.

The findings showed that individuals with internet addiction had more trouble dealing with their day-to-day activities, including life at home, at work/school and in social settings.

They had problems with planning and time management, greater levels of attentional impulsivity as well as attention deficit hyperactiv-

ity disorder (ADHD).

Internet addiction may also be strongly linked to compulsive behavior and several other addic-

tion in students, the study said.

“This leads us to a couple of questions like are we grossly underestimating the prevalence of inter-

net addiction and are these other mental health issues a cause or consequence of this excessive reliance on the internet?” said lead researcher Michael Van Ameringen from the McMaster University in Canada.

The study may also have practical medical implications.

“If you are trying to treat someone for an addiction when in fact they are anxious or depressed, then you may be going down the wrong route,” Ameringen stated.

“We need to understand this more, so we need a bigger sample, drawn from a wider, more varied population,” Ameringen added.

Salon facial massages are good for all skin types: These include massages with creams. Oily skins should not be massaged with creams, as this stimulates the oil glands further.

A facial for oily skins should comprise only of cleansing, exfoliation, toning, mask and protection.

NEW DELHI: Actress Esha Gupta turned many heads when she walked as the showstopper in a pink lehenga by designer Yoshita Yadav at the seventh edition of India Runway Week (IRW).

Yadav showcased her collection inspired by the city of Lucknow on Saturday here.

“In this season’s collection, we at Yoshita Couture have used 100 per cent raw silks, woven in Varanasi and Bengaluru. In this collection, one can see a vivid representation of motifs taken from Bara Imambara, Chhota Imambara and the Rumi Darwaza,” she said in a statement. The second day of IRW started with college students walking on the ramp in creations of students from Apeejay Institute of Design.

Designer Disha Doshi Gandhi also showcased her collection titled Euphoria.

f you want to ensure longevity of your favorite footwear, make sure you store them right and use the best ways to keep them clean, suggests an expert.

Danish Bajaj, Fashion Consultant at ladies footwear brand La Briza, has shared a few tips: * Regular dusting: Always brush or clean your shoes before putting them in to the shoe rack. When you remove the dirt and dust after the use, it prevents dirt particles from entering the leather surface.

Never leave dirty shoes in your closet because once the dirt settles, it completely spoils the texture and the shoe loses its shine and structure.

Baby wipes is a good shoe cleaning alternative. Mild detergent for cleaning textile and PU shoes is also helpful. * Right product: The right choice of brush and cleaner also plays a major role in shoe care; there are many products available in market which specializes in shoe care. These products range from brushes, shoe creams and sprays. * Replace heel caps, top lift: Replace the heel cap when it cracks or wears off because a bad heel cap can be a major spoiler to your walking comfort.

However, it did not actually enhance sexual arousal.

On the other hand, participants who drank non-alcoholic beer, rated the images as less pleasant than neutral pictures.
