also saw huge gatherings. Police made elaborate arrangements for the smooth conduct of the Eid prayers by imposing traffic restrictions. Hyderabad Police Commissioner Mahender Reddy, who supervised the arrangements, said over 10,000 personnel were deployed in the city for the peaceful and smooth conduct of prayers. A festive mood prevailed in Muslim neighbourhoods as people greeted each other. Eid was celebrated with religious fervour in nine other districts of Telangana. Major congregations were seen in the towns of Warangal, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Adilabad, Nalgonda and Mahabubnagar. Eid was also celebrated with gaiety in Andhra Pradesh. Muslims offered Eid prayers in Kadapa, Kurnool, Anantapur, Nellore, Vijayawada, Guntur and other towns in the state. After the month-long fasting during Ramadan, Muslims began the celebrations with prayers and greeted each other and people from other communities.

aiety and religious fervour marked Eid-ulFitr in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh on

Thursday. Lakhs of Muslims offered Eid prayers at Eidgahs or open grounds and mosques in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad and in other towns of Telangana and neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. Attired in their best and wearing skull caps, men and children thronged Eidgahs and mosques since morning for the ‘Namaz-eEid’, marking the culmination of the holy month of Ramadan. The streets in the Muslimmajority old city of Hyderabad were abuzz with activity since early morning as people headed for ‘namaz’ reciting ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is great). As in the past, separate arrangements were made for women at a few places to enable them to offer prayers. The ‘imams’ or priests in their sermons exhorted Muslims to continue the good deeds even after

Ramadan for success in this life and Hereafter. They also exhorted Muslims to introspect and lead their lives in accordance with the Koran and Sunnah, the holy life of Prophet Mohammed. They underlined the need to have empathy towards the poor. The imams, in their sermons, condemned the terror attack near the holy mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia. They made ‘dua’ (supplica-

text of which was released to the media here, Jayalalithaa said: “As you are aware, Palar is an interstate river and this unilateral action of the authorities in Andhra Pradesh has caused great alarm and apprehension in Tamil Nadu.” She said the Andhra Pradesh government’s irrigation department is increasing the height of the check dam from the current five feet to 12 feet across Palar river in Chittoor, but as Palar is an inter-state river, the upstream state should not, without the prior consent of the downstream state build any any structure obstructing/diverting/storing of the river water. Jayalalithaa also said the Tamil Nadu government has filed a suit in the Supreme Court seeking to restrain Andhra Pradesh from constructing any structure/works across the Palar or at any other place through which the river and its tributaries flow.

SPECIAL REPORT

Centre approves port in Tamil Nadu IANS, NEW DELHI

he Union Cabinet on July 4 gave its ‘in-principle’ approval to set up a major port at Enayam near Colachel in Tamil Nadu. The cabinet meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As per the decision, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) will be formed for developing the new port. The initial equity contribution will be from three major port trusts in Tamil Nadu — V.O. Chidambaram Port Trust, Chennai Port Trust and Kamarajar Port Ltd. The SPV will develop the port infrastructure, including dredging and reclamation, construction of breakwater and ensuring connectivity links etc. According to the central government, there are only a few ports in India that have sufficient draft and can match global cargo handling efficiencies. Currently, all of India’s transshipment traffic gets handled in Colombo, Singapore and other international ports. The Indian

MAJOR REJIG OF MODI MINISTRY Kochi: Amiyur ul Islam, accused in the murder of law student Jisha under police custody. (Photo: IANS)

PERUMBAVOOR (KERALA): Ameerul Islam, a migrant worker from Assam and the main accused in the Jisha murder case, has been sent to judicial custody till July 13 by a court here. His police custody ended on Thursday. According to the prosecution lawyer, Kerala Police’s request for his remand was accepted by the court that sent Islam to the Ernakulam district jail. “Islam’s lawyer presented a petition saying that he should be permitted to speak with

his client in the jail. The court will pronounce its order on this on Friday,” the prosecution lawyer said. Islam was presented before the court on July 7 without his face being covered. However, police requested the media not to publish his photograph. Jisha, a Dalit law student, was found dead in her house by her mother Rajeshwari on April 28. The young woman was raped and then murdered allegedly by Islam, who had earlier worked in the house.

MODI INDUCTS 19 NEW FACES

port industry loses up to Rs 1,500 crore in revenue each year as a result. Establishing this major port at Enayam will not only act as a major gateway container port for Indian cargo that is presently transshipped outside the country, but also become a trans-shipment hub for the global East-West trade route, the government said. Enayam will also reduce the logistics cost for exporters and

importers in South India who currently depend on trans-shipment in Colombo or other ports, thus incurring additional port handling charges. In an interaction with IANS earlier, Minister of State for Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Pon Radhakrishnan said the proposed port will provide direct employment to 10,000 people and change the economic face of the region.

Major rejig of Modi ministry In a major reshuffle, PM Modi inducts 19 new faces; replaces high-profile and vocal Smriti Irani with Prakash Javadekar, gives Ravi Shankar Prasad Law Ministry IANS, NEW DELHI

n a major ministerial shake up two years since he took over, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 6 inducted 19 new faces, elevated Minister of State Prakash Javadekar to cabinet rank and sent him to replace Smriti Irani in the Human Resource Development Ministry, while also making changes in key portfolios like law, communications and parliamentary affairs. He also dropped five junior ministers. Hours after the ceremonial swearing-in of new ministers including Javadekar and allies Apna Dal’s leader Anupriya Patel and Republican Party of India-A’s Ramdas Athawale by President Pranab Mukherjee, the Prime Minister allotted the portfolios. In the exercise, Modi sprang a major surprise and replaced highprofile and vocal Irani, who has been at the eye of storm with former Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar, who is credited for being industry friendly.

In another key move he removed lacklustre D.V. Sadananda Gowda of Karnataka as Law Minister and gave the responsibility to Ravi Shankar Prasad. Gowda has been moved to the ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. As expected, Modi left four major portfolios of Home (Rajnath Singh), Sushma Swaraj (External Affairs), Arun Jaitley (Finance) and Manohar Parrikar (Defense) untouched while senior ministers Nitin Gadkari (Road Transport, Highways and Shipping) and Suresh Prabhu (Railways) have retained their earlier assignments. Prasad was divested of Communications and allotted Law while Parliamentary Affairs has been taken away from M. Venkaiah Naidu. Naidu, however, has been given additional charge of the I&B Ministry (held currently by Jaitley) apart from his existing Urban Development and Housing portfolio, said an official source. Chemicals and Fertilizers Minister H.N. Ananth Kumar will be the new Parliamentary Affairs

Modi drops five from ministerial team NEW DELHI: Five ministers were on July 5 dropped from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s council of ministers ahead of the swearing-in of 19 new faces. Minority Affairs Minister Najma Heptulla and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Minister Kalraj Mishra, who were rumoured likely to lose their jobs, were spared. “The President, as advised by the Prime Minister, has accepted the resignation of the following members of the Union council of Ministers with immediate effect,” an official communique said. The five dropped Ministers of State are: Sanwar Lal Jat (Water Resources), Nihalchand (Panchayati

Raj), Ram Shankar Katheria (HRD), Mansukh Bhai Vasava (Tribal Affairs), and Mohanbhai Kundaria (Agriculture). Of the five, at least two — Ram Shankar Katheria and Mohanbhai Kundaria — seemed to have reconciled to their fate. Katheria told IANS that perhaps the changes in the ministry were necessitated and the party will enlist his services for organisational assignments, mainly in view of the upcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. Gujarat’s Rajkot MP Mohanbhai Kundaria, who was Minister of State for Agriculture, said that he accepted the party’s decision.

Minister also. Irani has been made Textiles Minister, replacing Santosh Gangwar who will be now be Minister of State for Finance. Former bureaucrat Arjun Meghwal, who was inducted in Tuesday’s expansion, has also been made Minister of

State in this crucial ministry. Among other cabinet changes, Rural Development and Drinking Water and Sanitation Minister Chaudhary Birender Singh from Haryana now would swap portfolios with Steel and Mines Minister Narendra Singh Tomar of Madhya

Pradesh, who will also hold charge of Panchayati Raj. According to sources, newlyinducted Anil Madhav Dave will be the new Minister of State for Environment replacing Javadekar. Vijay Goel, also inducted on July 5, will be the new Minister of State (Independent Charge) of Sports and Youth Affairs. M.J. Akbar has been appointed Minister of State for External Affairs. Jayant Sinha, who was junior minister in the finance ministry, now becomes Minister of State for Civil Aviation. Manoj Sinha will now hold the Communications portfolio too as Minister of State (Independent Charge) besides being MoS Railways. Among other changes, Mahesh Sharma, who was earlier Minister of State for Civil Aviation, has been left with his independent charge of Culture & Tourism. S.S. Ahluwalia will be the new Minister of State for Agriculture and Parliamentary Affairs, sources said adding MoS Agriculture Sanjeev Balyan has been moved as junior minister for Water Resources.

Best survivor among Dalit leaders

BJP’s man for all seasons

From weaver to IAS to minister

epublican Party of India (A) President Ramdas B. Athawale is rated as the best survivor among all the Dalit leaders across Maharashtra. R.B. Athawale It is like a dreamcome-true for the 56-year-old Rajya Sabha member who never batted an eyelid while shifting allegiance from the Congress to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in nearly three decades of his political career.

aggan Singh Kulaste, BJP MP from Mandla (Scheduled Tribes) reserved constituency in MP, belongs to the class of politicians who have struggled hard F.S. Kulaste to survive in politics. The 57-yearold lawmaker made news in 2008 when he and another colleague claimed that they had been “bribed” to vote in favor of the Manmohan Singh government in the trial of strength in the Lok Sabha.

rom being a weaver to working his way to the Indian Administrative Service to being elected as an MP to becoming a union minister now, Arjun Ram Meghw- A.R. Meghwal al’s journey through life has been an inspiration for many. The Dalit MP seems to have been rewarded as much in recognition for his struggles in life as for highlighting the allegedly illegal land deals of Robert Vadra in Rajasthan.

‘India’s growth doubtful’ US State Department says India must pursue reforms to match the rhetoric even as key bills struggle to get past parliament IANS, WASHINGTON

oubting India’s claim of a 7.5 percent growth, the economic diplomacy arm of the US State Department has said that the Indian government must pursue reforms to match the rhetoric even as key bills struggle to get past parliament. “Ostensibly, India is one of the fastest growing countries in the world but the depressed investor sentiment suggests the approximately 7.5 percent growth rate may be overstated,” said the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs in its latest report. The comprehensive report took note of a range of initiatives that have been taken by the Narendra Modi government since May 2014, notably in opening up the economy to enhance Foreign

Direct Investment (FDI), the “Make in India” initiative and removal of bureaucratic hurdles. “However, the government has been slow to propose other economic reforms that would match its rhetoric, and many of the reforms it did propose have struggled to pass through parliament,” it added in the

tion’s nod in passing the Goods and Services Tax Bill (GST Bill). It also had a piece of advise for those dealing with India. “India’s political system is highly decentralised. Investors must be prepared to face varied political and economic conditions across India’s states and union territories, including differences in the quality of governance, regulation, taxation, labour relations and education levels.” The report said this situation has resulted in many investors backing off somewhat from their once forward-leaning support of the BJP-led government. “Prime Minister Modi’s courtship of multinationals to invest and ‘Make in India’ has not yet addressed long-standing hesitations over India’s lack of effective IPR enforcement,” the US Foreign Ministry report said.

AG not to charge Clinton in email case IANS, WASHINGTON

S Attorney General Loretta Lynch confirmed on July 6 that the Department of Justice will not file charges against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in the case concerning her e-mails. In a statement, Lynch said that after meeting on Wednesday with FBI Director James Comey and other agents involved in the investigation - “I received and accepted their unanimous recommendation

that the thorough, year-long investigation be closed and that no charges be brought against any individuals within the scope of the investigation.” Thus, Lynch brought to an end the judicial aspect of the controversy surrounding Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server to handle national security matters during her 20092013 tenure as secretary of state, EFE news reported.

BRIEFS: Putin writes I-Day message to Obama WASHINGTON: Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a message to his US counterpart Barack Obama in honor of the American Independence Day on July 4, the Kremlin said on July 4. In the message, Putin signaled he wanted the US and Russia to resume a positive relationship, CNN reported. “The history of Russian-American relations shows that when we act as equal partners and respect each other’s lawful interests, we are able to successfully resolve the most complex international issues for the benefit of both countries’ peoples and all of humanity,” Putin wrote.

IANS, WASHINGTON

S President Barack Obama announced on July 6 that he will maintain about 8,400 American troops in Afghanistan into 2017 through the end of his administration, slowing the planned drawdown of the US military presence in the country. Obama said the security situation in Afghanistan remains “precarious” and the country’s security forces are still “not as strong as they need to be”. His original plan was to draw down US troops in Afghanistan to 5,500 by the end of this year, Xinhua news agency reported.

His original plan was to draw down US troops in Afghanistan to 5,500 by the end of this year “My decision today also sends a message to the Taliban and all those who have opposed Afghanistan’s progress,” the US president said in a

Speaking of the controversy that marred the HRD during Irani’s tenure, Javadekar said, “Keep on reporting out good work and there would be no controversy”. Asked about new education policies, he said that he will only comment after holding meeting the ministry officials.

Naidu’s earlier portfolio of Parliamentary Affairs has been assigned to Anant Kumar.

I would only say that ‘Kuchh to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna’ (People will talk, it is their business).” Passing the GST Bill in Parliament will be the government’s priority, Minister of State for Finance Santosh Kumar Gangwar said after taking charge of his office. “We hope the GST will be passed in the coming monsoon session.

slamic State terrorists slaughtered 20 civilians, mostly foreigners, including an Indian, during an overnight siege at an upscale cafe in the Bangladesh capital before security forces rescued 13 hostages and killed six gunmen on July 2 morning, ending the nation’s worst hostage crisis, being termed as Bangladesh’s ‘7/16’. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called a two-day state mourning for the victims, who included nine Italians, seven Japanese, three Bangladeshis and an Indian teenager, at the Holey Artisan café in the diplomatic area of Gulshan in Dhaka. One of the gunmen, injured in the shootout, was captured, while 13 hostages were rescued at the end of the 12-hour siege. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack. Indian President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee have condemned the attack. Modi called up Sheikh Hasina and condemned the “despicable attack” and said that India “stands

Dalai Lama birthday celebrations stopped KATHMANDU: Nepali police on July 6 shut down a Tibetan celebration programme in Kathmandu for the Dalai Lama’s 81st birthday, local media reported.

Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj confirmed the killing of 19-year-old Tarishi Jain of Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh. “Tarishi was 19 years old. She passed out from American School Dhaka. Presently, she was a student at Berkeley,” Sushma posted.

While many flooded social media with rich tributes to the 20-year-old, Bangladeshi daily Dhaka Tribune called him an icon to all Bangladeshis as “his bravery and selflessness is an inspiration for generations to come”. “As the nation wonders with horror how it could have given birth to the killers, who represent the very worst of humanity, and what it says about a society that did so, we can take comfort in the fact that Bangladesh also produced a young man like Faraaz,” the daily observed in its editorial titled

Rousseff fails to attend defence hearing

IANS, BAGHDAD

raq began a three-day national mourning on July 4 for victims of the July 3 car bombing attacks in Baghdad as the toll rose to 180. The Islamic State terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in central Baghdad shopping area of Karrada, which also left over 230 people injured, Efe news reported. In a statement on social networks, the IS said the attack had targeted “a group of renegades”, referring to Shia Muslims. According to an Iraqi interior ministry spokesperson, the toll could rise as many injured are in a critical condition. The Karrada-Dakhil bombing was the bloodiest attack this year in Iraq, where the army is fighting Islamic State militants. The busy commercial district in southern Baghdad was hit by the car bomb around 1.00 a.m. when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive-laden pickup truck outside a shopping centre. The three-floor building was

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced three days of national mourning for the victims after he visited the blast site on Sunday. His convoy was attacked by dozens of angry residents who

accused the government of failing to protect its people. Local resident Mohammed Musa said: “Now we demand a solution from the government because since 2003 to 2016 we have been uncomfortable, we are in a difficult situation.” “And those people, all of them lost their money, property and lives and other things. Everything is gone.”

BRASILIA: Brazil’s suspended President Dilma Rousseff failed to attend her defence hearing in front of the Senate’s impeachment commission.Rousseff was expected to appear to speak in her own defence on July 6 but instead sent a written response presented by Jose Eduardo Cardozo, her lawyer and former Justice Minister, Xinhua news agency reported. The President had announced her decision on social media July 5, saying that she would “consider the possibility of appearing in front of the Senate, but at another time”. In a statement read out by Cardozo, Rousseff stated that the impeachment attempt against her was purely politically motivated. She repeated her defence argument that the fiscal manoeuvre, for which she is being investigated, had no impact on the government’s fiscal budget.

“The scheme will be implemented by National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) through its training partners in consultation with the Ministry of External

The MoU is significant in view of the emphasis being laid by the government to improving the skills of Indian workers going abroad, especially in search of blue collar jobs in the Gulf. Around 7-8 lakh Indian workers go abroad every year for employment. Just last month, during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Qatar, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship signed an MoU with the Gulf nation’s National Qualifications Authority/Supreme Education Council in skill development and recognition of qualifications.

opular Tamil zombie thriller film “Miruthan” was screened at the Neuchatel International Fantastic Film Festival in Switzerland, but the audience laughed and “hooted the loudest” when they saw smoking disclaimer in the film, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who attended it, said. The Jayam Ravi and Lakshmi Menon-starrer was screened on Wednesday, read a statement on the film festival’s official website. Kashyap, whose latest film “Raman Raghav 2.0” had its Swiss premiere on Monday, took to Twitter on Thursday to share the response that “Miruthan” received during its screening. “Film festival in Switzerland showing the Tamil Zombie movie, ‘Miruthan’. Guess where they laughed, hooted the loudest? Smoking disclaimers,” Kashyap tweeted. Kashyap was recently in limelight when the controversial film “Udta Punjab”, which was produced under his banner Phantom Films, was asked by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to effect 89 cuts.

Chiranjeevi is currently busy shooting for tentatively titled Telugu action-drama “Kathilantodu”, which is the official remake of Tamil film “Kaththi”. “Chiranjeevi is making a comeback after a long hiatus, and the makers wanted to choose a triedand-tested project instead of risking with an original script. ‘Kaththi’ has all the mass-appealing elements and its remake should be perfect for Chiranjeevi,” trade analyst Trinath told IANS. Pawan Kalyan is all set to start working on the Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster “Veeram”.

SC admits plea against Khan Senior lawyer Kapil Sibal, appearing for Salman Khan, told the Supreme Court that the actor would like it to hear the plea on its merits IANS, NEW DELHI

he Supreme Court on July 5 admitted a plea by the Maharashtra government challenging the acquittal of Bollywood actor Salman Khan in a 2002 hit-andrun case, but declined to fast-track the hearing of the matter. A bench of Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar and Justice Arun Mishra admitted the plea by the Maharashtra government after senior counsel Kapil Sibal, appearing for the actor, told the court that Khan would like it to hear the plea on merits. In the last hearing of the matter, the court had asked the actor whether he would consent to the hearing of the matter on merits. Sibal told the bench that he spoke to Khan and he wants the “matter

BRIEFS Surbhi Chandna ditched Bollywood MUMBAI: Actress Surbhi Chandna opted to feature in a TV show rather than a Bollywood movie. She feels “TV has a bigger reach than films”. The actress, who was seen in “Bobby Jasoos”, says she “would rather be famous on TV and be recognised for my work than start afresh in Bollywood”. Surbhi, who is seen as Annika in the Star Plus show “Ishqbaaaz”, refrains from naming the films that were offered to her. She said: “I had offers from Bollywood specifically to star in various movies”. “TV is the next big thing. It has a bigger reach than films because of which I chose to continue my stint on television and not venture into films,” Surbhi said in a statement.

Celebrities wish for peace, love on Eid MUMBAI: Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar and others have wished for peace and love on the festive occasion of Eid. Here’s what they have tweeted: Amitabh Bachchan: Eid Mubarak for those that celebrate on the 6th and for those that celebrate on the 7th. Rishi Kapoor: Eid Mubarak, my friends. It’s not just wishing, we have to do a lot for world peace! Farhan Akhtar: Eid Mubarak to you and all your loved ones. Shaan: Eid Mubarak! Dia Mirza: Eid Mubarak! ‘Sultan’. Love wins.

being heard and decided on merits”. As the court admitted the plea by the Maharashtra government against the acquittal verdict of the Bombay High Court, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi urged the

bench to expedite the hearing by giving some date after six months. “It is a 15-year-old case. If the hearing could be expedited and court indicating some date after six months,” Rohtagi told the court

realizing that the plea by the Maharashtra government may take years before it comes up for hearing.But the apex court declined. The apex court had on February 19, 2016 issued notice to Khan on the Maharashtra government’s petition challenging the December 2015 Bombay High Court verdict. Khan was found guilty by a sessions court on May 6, 2015 and convicted for, among others, culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and sentenced to five years in jail for the accident, in which one person was killed and four others injured. Khan had in an affidavit filed on March 17 told the Supreme Court that he was not driving his Toyota Land Cruiser when it killed a man in Mumbai in 2002 but the police was trying to implicate him in the case.

Salman’s words were insensitive: Aamir MUMBAI: Actor-producer Aamir Khan on July 4 said his friend Salman Khan’s “raped woman” comment was unfortunate and insensitive. Aamir Khan At the poster launch of “Dangal” here, Aamir was asked about his reaction to Salman’s comment which stirred up a hornet’s nest. Aamir said: “”I feel.... I was not present there... (But) going by the media reports, what he has said is rather unfortunate or rather insensitive.” Asked if he spoke to his “Andaaz Apna Apna” co-actor or gave him any advice, Aamir said: “No I didn’t speak to him... And who am I to give him advice.” His comment didn’t go down too well with a lot of people. Now Salman has been summoned by the NCW on July 8.

Eid on Thursday may affect ‘Sultan’ IANS, MUMBAI

uperstar Salman Khan’s much-awaited “Sultan” which was targeting to get a wide opening on July 6 on the occasion of Eid will perhaps have to face a huge dip on its opening day as the festival will now be celebrated on July 7. “The opening of ‘Sultan’ will certainly get affected. Salman’s film usually collects maximum on its first three days... now that Eid has moved to Thursday, it is going to

affect the business,” Manoj Desai, Executive Director of Gaiety Galaxy and Maratha Mandir Cinema told IANS. “Advance booking has already been done and now I don’t know what’s going to be the turnout,” he added. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, “Sultan” will see Salman Khan in the role of a wrestler. The film, produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner, is slated to release on July 6. Distributor Rajesh Thadani says: “We were expecting close to Rs 40

crore on its opening day but now I feel the opening would come down to Rs 30 crore. Now, I think ‘Sultan’ won’t get a record breaking opening which we were hoping for the film. The advance booking has been tremendous though.” Distributor Sanjay Ghai from

Delhi said: “Yes, the opening will get affected slightly but, they should have released the film on Friday itself and since its Salman’s film they would have made a great collection any which way. Releasing it on Wednesday was not a great idea.”

‘Shorgul’: More noise than substance Film: “Shorgul”; Directors: Jitendra Tiwari and Pranav Kumar Singh; Cast: Jimmy Sheirgill, Ashutosh Rana, Hrishitaa Bhatt, Sanjay Suri, Narendra Jha, Hiten Tejwani and Suha Gezen; Rating: **

teeped in controversy, even before its release, “Shorgul” is a film which arouses curiosity. Equally intriguing is the opening sequence, but that’s where it all ends. The film gradually degenerates into a medley of politicians with an agenda, communal strife, intolerance, a tragic love story

along with some songs. And that too amidst a lot of confusion and noise, befitting its title. Set in Malliyabad, Central UP, the narration takes its time to

establish a love triangle with Saleem (Hiten Tejwani), Zainab (Suha Gezen) and Raghu (Anirudh Dave), which serves as the backdrop for the power-hungry politi-

cians to fuel a riot and give vent to their personal avarice. Ranjit Om (Jimmy Sheirgill) addressed as “Bhaiyyaji”, is a rightwing politician. He is an opportunist, eyeing the MLA’s coveted seat, inciting hatred with his speeches and on the other end of the spectrum is the Maulana along with Alam Khan (Narendra Jha) a minister, who equally spews hatred and intolerance. Chaudhry (Ashustosh Rana) is a well-respected veteran who is Ranjit Om’s uncle and Raghu’s father and there is the state chief minister, Mithilesh (Sanjay Suri). The songs are situational, dwelling upon on the emotions of the moment. — Troy Ribeiro

Arjun Kapoor hopes friendship with Ranveer Singh continues

Anushka denies reports of meeting Kohli in Bengaluru

ctor Arjun Kapoor, who shares an “amazing bond” with Bollywood’s livewire actor Ranveer Singh, who will be turning 31 on July 6 — says he is glad that in a profession where people only mean business, they have managed to maintain the core values of friendship. The “Aurangzeb” star says that the two of them are “same, same, but different”. “I think in a profession where a lot of people wouldn’t want us (Arjun and Ranveer) to be friends, we’ve managed retain the core values of being friends and I hope that continues,” Arjun told IANS here.

ctress Anushka Sharma was not in Bengaluru to meet test skipper Virat Kohli unlike media reports. It has been reported that, Anushka, who is currently waiting for the release of her forthcoming film “Sultan”, had taken some time out from her busy schedule to meet Indian cricketer Virat Kohli in Bengaluru. However a statement issued on behalf of the actress stated that the reports are “completely untrue”. “Some reports suggesting Anushka Sharma was in Bangalore (Bengaluru) is completely untrue. “She was unwell but has still continued promotions. It’s especially distressing because knowing she was in Mumbai and still reporting like this can only mean an attempt to point fingers at her professionalism which is done by ‘so called sources’,” the statement read. On the work front, Anushka will also be seen in her home production “Phillauri” and Karan Johar production “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil”.

Faced casting couch in south: Surveen

asting couch is one topic that many celebrities shy away from talking about in public but actress Surveen Chawla admits that she witnessed such things in the southern film industry but not in Bollywood. “I feel very great that I have not encountered this (casting couch) here (Bollywood). I have faced this (casting couch) down south and of course I refused to give into that...Honestly I can only comment on it If I had encountered it in Bollwyood. I don’t know if I should call it sheer luck,” Surveen told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

Talking about his bond with Ranveer, he said: “We have an amazing bond. It’s a friendship that goes beyond the work that we do, which is amazing.” Arjun also shared that they not just admire each other’s work, but also have “mutual admiration for each other as people”.

Kareena to become mother in December

tar couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan will be blessed with their first child together in December, the actor has confirmed. Saif said in a statement: “My wife and I would like to announce that we are expecting our first child in December. We would like to thank our well wishers for their blessings and support and also the press for their discretion and patience.” Kareena and Saif, who already has two children with former wife Amrita Singh, tied the knot in 2012 after a five-year relationship. While Bollywood actresses like Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are making a splash in the West, Kareena had shared earlier that she has no such ambitions.

Guide for a perfect monsoon wedding sunshades have become common giveaways. v Your guests would need to wrap up their phones and belongings while in the rain, so arrange for plastic or rather personalised waterproof bags. v Rain proofing is an absolute necessity if you are not planning your wedding in a banquet. But a banquet should definitely be the first choice.

IANS, NEW DELHI

o you dream of having a monsoon wedding -- but are scared of rain playing spoilsport? Just prepare a back-up plan in advance to welcome the showers, says an expert. Surruchi Joshhi, Founder and Director at wedding planning company Raas Luxury Weddings, shares a list of dos and don’ts for a monsoon wedding.

Dos— v Plan a rain dance party as part of your pre-wedding event. v Seating becomes difficult to arrange in the rain, bean bag seating setup is perfect especially among youngsters. v Beautification should be done using neons, flowery drapes and ribbon décor. They will suit the ambience. v When it is monsoon, don’t shy away from having a monsoonbased theme in your stationery. Starting from your invitation cards

to the giveaways, monsoon is the key to design. v Rains create a need for you to wear fresh coloured lehengas. Peach,

subtle gold, rose pink, tomato red are the colours of the season. v How good is an umbrella as a giveaway to your guests? Bangles,

Don’ts— v Your make-up should not be based on a heavy foundation. It won’t just keep up. v Decorations based on warm colours are a big no-no! v Don’t have flower-based decorations, prefer parachute material gazebo, floral prints in the drape and artificial flowers. v Heels don’t go well with rains. Juttis/floral mojaris are what’s in vogue. v For your mehendi, don’t go for heavy real flower jewellery, instead prefer tiaras, or gotta jewellery.

The Chinmaya Mission Chicago summer camps are week-long events filled with lots of fun and learning, followed by a weekend of fun fair and grand cultural performance by all the children. The 2016 theme was based on “Upanishad Ganga,” TV series by Chinmaya Creations.

Age to buy tobacco raised to 21 years

BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO, IL -- The minimum age in Chicago for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products goes up to 21 at the end of the week. The city joins 170 local jurisdictions around the country that have made the change, including New York City and Boston. Health advocates have pushed the policy to discourage teenagers from starting a harmful habit. Hawaii and California have raised the tobacco purchase age to 21 statewide. Illinois lawmakers are considering a similar measure. City agencies and aldermen have been working with licensed tobacco retailers to inform them about the new requirement that anyone buying tobacco products be at least 21 years old.

The children learnt subtle concepts in a simple and practical way from the Acharyas

with lots of stories. The day was balanced with classroom time and other activities, including yoga, stotram and bhajans, arts & crafts, sports and recreation. The children enjoyed healthy homecooked vegetarian meals and snacks throughout the camp. The other highlights include extempore speeches, fun fair, puja, and the cultural program. Those who missed the Yamunotri camp have another chance--the 34th annual Vedic Heritage Youth Camp of Chinmaya Mission Chicago - Badri Center, Willowbrook will be held during July 18-24.

Gallagher & Co., McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter, LLP, New Jersey Hospital Association, and Comcast Spotlight. The Healthcare Heroes finalists were recognized and the winner in each category was announced during an awards breakfast and ceremony on June 21 at The Palace at Somerset Park in Somerset, New Jersey. The honorees were also highlighted in a special supplement to NJBIZ. The Palace at Somerset Park hosted over 400 guests, where everyone came together to celebrate these courageous and noble healthcare specialists and organizations. The event, which began with networking and breakfast, was followed by the awards presentation. The major sponsors--Allen Karp, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of NJ, Jason Kreitner, Hackensack University

Medical Center, Beth Durney-Stasyshyn, CareOne Management, Ed DePaola with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., and James A. Robertson with McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter, LLP--presented the awards on stage to each honoree.

Sikh musician racially profiled at restaurant BY A STAFF WRITER OUSTON -- A Sikh American musician has claimed that he was racially profiled while having lunch at a restaurant in Orlando, Florida, when a ‘concerned citizen’ called the police to look into his ‘suspicious container’ that actually contained his bamboo flutes. Neelamjit Dhillon was having a late lunch at a local restaurant with a friend when the police responded to a call about a suspicious container at the restaurant. “A concerned citizen called the police to investigate me while having lunch because of my suspicious container. Just my bamboo flutes,” Dhillon wrote in an Instagram post about the June 28 incident. Dhillon moved to the Orlando area from Los Angeles to work as a performer and an Indian music director on Disney’s Animal Kingdom show, “Jungle Book Alive.”

Neelamjit Dhillon

While outside on a phone call, Dhillon says a smiling and an apologetic police officer approached him. “A police officer was walking towards me, put out his hand

and shook my hand, and right away he said, ‘I need to have chat with you. Can we have a discreet conversation back at your table?’’ said Dhillon. Confused, Dhillon complied. Back at the table, the officer explained that someone unaffiliated with the restaurant had called the police to report a suspicious man carrying a “suspicious container.” And it turned out, the suspicious container he was a carrying was actually a case for his bamboo flutes--one of the many instruments Dhillon plays professionally. Dhillon, who carries his flutes in a case designed to hold blueprints, showed the flutes to the officer, who apologized for the trouble and left. Dhillon said it wasn’t the first time a member of his community has been judged or profiled as a possible Muslim terrorist based on his experience as a Sikh.

Indian family’s horse is shot in Tennessee BY A STAFF WRITER ASHVILLE, TN – The Nashville police are investigating the shooting death of an Indian American family’s horse as a possible hate crime. Misty Blue was a Tennessee walking horse born on the family farm of Devinder Sandhu in 1999. His son named her Misty Blue because the morning of her birth was misty, giving the hills a bluish tint. The farm was her domain where “she was the princess,’’ Sandhu said. Farm workers found her the morning when they were bringing grain to the

animals. Misty Blue’s body was near a private, dead-end gravel road. She had been shot in the right temple.

Sandhu has lived in Nashville for more than 40 years, but his family is originally from India. He wears a turban and beard as an expression of his Sikh faith. He said he was often mistaken for a Muslim. When he is working in the field as an environmental engineer, people yell at him from out of cars when they are driving by. The family has raised $10,000 to offer as a reward for anyone who can help the police find the person who killed Misty Blue. Police spokeswoman Kris Mumford said that the specialized investigations division, which investigates hate crimes, was on the job.

State Governor’s Jefferson Awards for Public Service in Health Care Professional of the year category in 2015. Dr. Patel has been providing his selfless and dedicated volunteer services to needy people in south Asian communities throughout the New Jersey for more than last 15 years with various non-profit organizations and also serves as President of Indian Health Camp of NJ, a non-profit organization since 2006.

Call centers in India blamed for frauds

BY A STAFF WRITER EW YORK, NY-- Plenty of fraud is emanating from call centers in India, US government officials testified before Congress. Lois C. Greisman, associate director, Division of Marketing Practices, Bureau of Consumer Protection at the US Federal Trade Commission, was testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on June 29. She said certain types of scams were more likely to impact older Americans, such as prize promotion and lottery schemes and imposter schemes purporting to provide technical support to “fix” non-existent computer problems. Listing the various areas of concerns, Greisman listed fraud calls originating from India as one of them. “Another area of international concern involves Indian call centers, which like their Jamaican counterparts, continue to be the source of various imposter frauds that have reached consumers throughout the Englishspeaking world,” she said.

It’s picnic time again for Gujarati Samaj of St. Louis BY A STAFF WRITER T LOUIS, MO -- Gujarati Samaj of St. Louis organized its annual picnic at McDonald Park on June 26 with some 200 members, friends, and wellwishers participating in the pleasant outing. The picnic was attended by Congressman Russ Carnahan who is candidate for Missouri Lt. Governor. Besides a full-scale social interaction and games, the highlight of the picnic was enchanting and mouth-watering food--fried chana dal, nachos, corn & water melons as well as a variety of juices. Throughout the event, popular Indian games and sports, such as cricket, volleyball, water balloons and other enjoyable items, were played. The Indian food served to all members included khichadi with masala chhas & pickles. If all the guests enjoyed the picnic, credit goes to dedication and hard work by members, volunteers and officers of Gujarati Samaj of St. Louis.

BY A STAFF WRITER ALITINE,IL -- In remembrance of the 49 victims and 53 injured, in one of the worst recent mass shootings in American history, at the Pulse Night Club in Orlando Florida, on June 12, the Sikh Religious Society in Palatine, Illinois organized a prayer service and candlelight vigil. Over 200 attendees gathered, comprising members of the local Sikh community, neighbors, and interfaith groups. Eight speakers, representing the Sikh, LGBTQ, Muslim, mental health care, and gun violence prevention Said Marcus Hamilton, who works with a local nonprofit: ““It was an attack on Muslims, it was an attack on Sikhs, it was an attack on Christians. It was an attack on people of good will everywhere.” The Sikh community has fresh memories of deadly hate and violence. In 2012, a man with connections to white supremacists, shot and killed six worshippers at a Sikh gurdwara in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, which several speakers referred to during the evening. Parminder Singh Mann, wanting to bring ownership and action beyond the vigils, asked the gathering, “Are we authentic in feeling the pain? Can we make it our own? Is it another community’s [pain]?” He emphasized the Sikh teaching begins with the numeral one, to signify the inherent unity of not just mankind, but all there is. After the candlelight vigil, which included a reading of the names of the 49 victims by Jasvir Kaur and Jagjinder Singh, everyone sat down on the ground as a sign of support to lawmakers in Washington DC, who staged a sit-in on the House floor on the same day (June 22). All the participants of the event were invited to share ‘langar’, the community kitchen vegetarian meal. The event was coordinated by Rajinder

The next event for the Samaj will be Kite Day on July 9 at Worthen Park, 3200 Maryville Rd, Granite City, IL 62040. Gujarati Samaj of St. Louis came into existence in 1984 with the efforts of some community leaders to preserve, protect and personify the eastern values, to make children participate in celebrating traditional festivals,

and to provide platform to all Gujaratis to come together to meet, greet, entertain and celebrate the heritage. Gujarati Samaj arranges programs to commemorate important Gujarati festivals and events and invites dignitaries and artists from Gujarat and India to perform for the benefit of the members.

Toxic plant spreads across Illinois BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO, IL -- Illinois residents are being warned of a poisonous plant growing throughout the state that causes painful blisters and a rash similar to severe burns when touched. Wild parsnip is spreading across parts of the Midwest, according to health officials, including Iowa and Illinois. From the outside, the wild parsnip–also known as Pastinaca sativa–has lacy, yellowgreen heads similar to wildflowers and can

Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) reports. The colorful plant typically flowers from May to July, according IDNR officials, and can grow from 6 inches to 6 feet tall. It is often found in roadside ditches, fields and along bike paths. Those who come across the plant are urged to avoid using a lawn string trimmer to remove it, as breaking the parsnip tissue will pray a high exposure of the toxin. If found, gloves should be worn for removal.

Juvenile parenticide cleared of charges BY A STAFF WRITER OS ANGELES, CA -- Omar Golamrabbi, a juvenile charged with killing his parents in their San Jose, Calif., home, has been cleared of murder on June 24 and released from police custody. Golamrabbi, 17, and his brother, Hasib Golamrabbi, 22, were charged with murdering their father, Golam Rabbi, 59 at the time of his death; and their mother Shamima Begum Rabbi, in the Evergreen neighborhood of San Jose. The Bangladeshi American couple was found dead on April 24 by relatives who had been trying to reach them for several days. The duo vanished after the killings. According to public defender Sajid Khan, who represented Omar Golamrabbi, Omar had been released because prosecutors said they had an “insufficiency of evidence” of his involvement in the murders. “He was present at the time, but we believe he was just a witness to the scene,” said Khan. Omar Golamrabbi, who, following the death of both his parents became a ward of the state, was released on June 24 and taken to a group home, according to Khan.

His social worker will determine whether he can live with other family members. The boy was previously scheduled to enter his senior year at Evergreen High School. On the floor near the bodies were at least two handwritten notes in black marker pen. One chillingly read: “Sorry, my first kill was clumsy.” The other note read: “I can’t be like you, telling a lie.” Omar Golamrabbi was initially suspected of writing the notes. Upon his arrest April 27, Hasib

UPCOMING

Golamrabbi — who initially could not be found for three days — told police he had shot his father multiple times, but added that a stranger had come into the house and forced him to do it. Hasib told the police that the stranger had killed his mother. Omar Golamrabbi told the police that his brother had murdered both his father and mother and then told him to check the garage-where the bodies were found--to make sure blood was not seeping out. Hasib Golamrabbi is being held in Santa Clara County Jail without bail.

head of the Indian cricket team’s departure for the West Indies for the fourmatch Test series, head coach Anil Kumble on Monday admired skipper Virat Kohli’s onfield aggression but at the same time reminded the players of a “thin line” which needs to be respected. “I love his (Kohli’s) aggression. I was also no different as I was very aggressive. But we were probably very different in terms of how we came across in the field. But you don’t want to curb aggression. I will be the last person to curb someone’s natural instincts,” Kumble said at the pre-departure presser here.

Reading out the judgement, Judge Thokozile Masipa said the trial of murder-convicted Pistorius had many mitigating factors.

Raonic to meet Federer in Wimbledon semis LONDON: Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic will be playing the Wimbledon semi-finals against Swiss maestro Roger Federer after both won their respective quarter-final matches here on Wednesday.

there in Tests, the others have played in the shorter formats. So instead of looking at the opposition, we will look at ourselves on ways to improve.” Kumble, India’s highest wicket-taker with 619 scalps, wants his side to focus on consistency and winning in the longer version. “As a coach, you want the team to win and prepare them to the best of their ability. To ensure that all areas are covered, skill-wise as well as strategy-wise, so that they are able to assess any situation and find a solution on their own. “Good part is that we are playing a lot of Test cricket and we will be able to assess the shortcomings if any and try to plug that. We will be playing 17 Tests, starting with West Indies and then New Zealand, England and Australia at home,” he said.

ristiano Ronaldo scored one and assisted another to lead Portugal to a 2-0 win over Wales in the semifinals of the European Championship here on Wednesday. Portugal, losing their only previous final to Greece in 2004, will fight for the title against the winner of the other match between hosts France and world champions Germany, which will be held in Marseille on Thursday, Xinhua news agency reported. After a dull first half in which neither side created clear-cut chances, Portugal pulled ahead in the 50th minute through Ronaldo’ s stunning header. The Real Madrid forward jumped high and hung in the air above Wales defender James Chester

to bullet a Raphael Guerreiro cross into the roof of the net. It was his ninth goal in four European Championships and helped him equal Michel Platini’s record. Wales, without suspended Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, were soon exposed at the back. In just three minutes Fernando Santos’ side doubled the lead. Ronaldo almost made it 3-0 in the 63rd minute, but his freekick from 30 meters dipped over the wall and flew over cross bar.

BARCELONA: A Spanish court on Wednesday sentenced FC Barcelona’s Argentine star Lionel Messi and his father to a prison term for tax fraud committed between 2007 and 2009. The Barcelona Provincial Court ruled that Messi and his father, Jorge Messi, had committed three counts of tax fraud that were punishable with 21 months (one year and 9 months) in prison, reports Efe. In Spanish law, it is not mandatory for a first offender to go to prison if the sentence is under two years. The court also fined Messi two million euros ($2.21 million) for evading income taxes in 2007, 2008 and 2009, while his father was fined 1.5 million euros ($1.66 million) for the same offence. During the trial, the public prose-
