Prateik Babbar’s wellness centre MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Prateik Babbar will soon venture into the hospitality sector with the launch of a wellness centre in Himachal Prateik Babbar Pradesh’s Dharamshala city. “For me this is more of a social service act and it will discipline me further. I had never imagined in my wildest dreams that I’d be doing something so corporate, but my family has been very supportive. It’s a welfare centre that will enhance the holistic well-being of a person,” Prateik said.

Hrithik to pen his life journey NEW DELHI: Actor Hrithik Roshan is thinking of writing a book on his life, but says he doesnt have a flair for writing.

I am still thinking of it,” Hrithik told IANS. —IANS

No screening of ‘The Danish Girl’ in India IANS, MUMBAI

scheduled telecast of Hollywood film The Danish Girl — which tells the story of Lili Elbe, one of the first people who came out and went for gender reassignment surgery — has been cancelled, channel Sony Le PLEX HD has announced. According to a source in the know of developments, the Central Board Of Film Certification

(CBFC) objected to the film due to its sensitive storyline. “The movie went to CBFC for clearance three months ago and they were sitting on it. And now they have cancelled the broadcast citing that the issue is very sensitive... CBFC has put a ban across channels, and now no other channel can also show the film,” the source told IANS on condition of anonymity. The Danish Girl was scheduled to

The film was scheduled to telecast this week on Sony Le PLEX HD.

be telecast this week on Sony Le PLEX HD, but a post from the channel’s official Twitter revealed

that it has been cancelled. The post read: “We regret to inform that Sony Le Plex HD is unable to telecast the much awaited television premiere of the internationally acclaimed awardwinning film The Danish Girl on March 26 as the necessary certification to enable telecast of the movie has not been received. “We continue making all necessary efforts to secure the certification and will keep you informed of the future date of telecast. We thank you for your continuous support and understanding. Any inconvenience caused is regretted.” The Tom Hooper directorial is based on American author David Ebershoff ’s debut novel with the same name.

ad, but true. Some films work better on paper than on film. I can just imagine how excited Anushka Sharma must have been to play a ghost in a film about a restless spirit trying to find a culmination to her incomplete love story from 98 years ago. Alas, the theme of love finding a resting place in two lifetimes barely registers. For a large part, Phillauri moves through the lavish labyrinth of a big fat wedding in a Punjabi household with the same misdirected gusto as Vikas Behl’s Shaandaar. Except for the fact that the characters here are in principle, quite

interesting in the way they respond to the presence of a friendly ghost in their bustling home. Anushka Sharma makes a pretty ghost. But Shashi is a ghost as interpreted by Anushka Sharma. She behaves like Anushka’s character in Ae Dil Hai Muskil in blingy appari-

tion with the added advantage of being seen only by Suraj’s character. Phillauri has its redeeming qualities. The homage to history that is brought into play at the end is so daring in its sweep and suggestion that you admire the film’s debutant director for going against the grain.

MUMBAI: Released on March 24, Anushka Sharma, Diljit Dosanjh and Suraj Sharma starrer romantic comedy film Phillauri has minted Rs 15.25 crore in its opening weekend at the Indian box office, the makers have said. “We are happy the film has done good business. It is a small film with a big heart and we are thrilled with the love audience showered”, Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios, said.

Some of the period detailing in the past is interesting. The moment of the advent of the gramophone disc is warmly caught in the characters’ awestruck faces.

ndia defeated Australia by eight wickets in the fourth and final Test at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium here to clinch the four-match series 2-1 and regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Lokesh Rahul hit a half-century and guided the hosts to victory in the first-ever Test at this picturesque ground along with standin captain Ajinkya Rahane after the early departure of Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara. Rahul remained undefeated on 51 while Rahane was not out on 38. Fittingly, it was Rahul who hit the winning runs, guiding a delivery from left-arm spinner Steve O’Keefe to the on-side. Needing 106 runs for the win, the Indians reached the target around 90 minutes and 17.5 overs into the first session of the fourth

Trump’s climate roll back The US President signs order overhauling former President Barack Obama’s attempts to slow climate change; environmental advocates snub move IANS, WASHINGTON

Ivanka to be special assistant to Trump

S President Donald Trump this week signed an executive order rolling back Obama-era rules aimed at tackling global warming. The order seeks to suspend, rescind or flag for review more than a half-dozen measures in an effort to boost domestic energy production in the form of fossil fuels. As part of the roll-back, Trump will initiate a review of the Clean Power Plan, which restricts greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants. The regulation, which was the former president’s signature effort to curb carbon emissions, has been the subject of long-running legal challenges by Republican-led states and those who profit from burning oil, coal and gas. The President signed the order at the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency, saying that this is “the start of a new era” in energy production. He also said that his administration was going to “end the war on coal”. Trump has previously called

global warming a “hoax”, and has repeatedly criticized ex-President Barack Obama’s efforts as an attack on American workers and the struggling US coal industry. Environmental advocates were not surprised by the order - given such remarks - but said Trump has not considered the public health and economic implications of not fighting climate change or how the order negatively affects US standing in the world.

BRIEFS

Trump urged to honor Paris Agreement BEIJING: China has urged US President Donald Trump to honor the Paris Agreement on climate change ratified by his predecessor, Efe reported. Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said the East Asian country still believes that “all parties should go with the tide, seize the opportunity, fulfill their pledges and implement the agreement”. He made the remarks at a press conference when asked about a decree signed by Trump, which

seeks to create jobs in the US at the cost of doing away with the country’s commitments to climate change. Lu recalled that it had not been easy to arrive at the 2016 Paris Agreement, which Trump has threatened to abandon, and hailed the pact as “a milestone in the global campaign in climate governance.” The spokesperson stressed that irrespective of whether “other countries still commit to the goals or not, China is resolute in the goals.”

Haley open to ideas on expanding UNSC NEW YORK: US Permanent Representative Nikki Haley has said she is open to ideas on adding permanent members to the UN Security Council but did not made a categorical endorsement of India’s bid for one of the permanent seats. “I’m open to hearing anyone on what they have to say and looking at it and going further,” she said answering a question this week by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) President Richard Haas about Security Council reform. She candidly admitted, “First of all, I’m in learning mode. And as I look at that, I know there is conversations of

reform of Security Council.” Haas had mentioned previous administrations raising Council expansion with India being mentioned as a candidate for a permanent seat and asked for President Donald Trump administration’s or her views about it. Former President Barack Obama had endorsed India’s bid for permanent membership in Council. In her speech at the CFR, Haley outlined a bold plan to shake up the UN and lead campaign for drastic reforms to both achieve its goals and to make it more efficient. —IANS

Laurence Tubbiana, formerly the top French diplomat on climate change and now the CEO of the European Climate Foundation, said in a statement that the order “will propel the economy backwards”. Anne Kelly a Senior Director at Ceres, a coalition of investors and business that promote sustainability, told the Independent that the Clean Power Plan was the “crown jewel of the Obama administration’s climate plan”.

WASHINGTON: Ivanka Trump, the elder daughter of US President Donald Trump, is becoming an official government employee. She is joining her husband, Jared Kushner, as an unpaid adviser to her father in the White House, a statement said this week. The announcement amounts to the formal recognition of the value Trump places on the judgment and loyalty of both his daughter and his son-in-law, New York Times reported.

Trump gave his statement after an off-camera signing ceremony, flanked by coal miners from West Virginia. He said the order would “start a new era…[in] making America wealthy again”. Given that private sector investment in the renewable energy industry hit $350 billion in 2016 globally, outpacing new investment in the oil and gas sector for the first time, Kelly said she

While relying on family members for advice is hardly unusual for a President, giving them a formal role has few precedents, the report added. Ivanka Trump, 35, will be an assistant to the President, while Kushner, 36, has the title of senior adviser. Ivanka Trump said last week that she planned on serving as an informal adviser to her father, and she already has an office in the West Wing — upstairs from her husband’s.

expects the “marketplace is going to go forward regardless of what the White House does”. Several of the country’s largest pension funds, accounting for tens of billions in investment, have already begun divesting money from oil and gas companies in order to ensure a more profitable future for their investors. However, they do require the EPA to do its part in the regulatory realm.

White House staff to skip correspondents’ dinner IANS, WASHINGTON

n a significant development, White House staff has planned on skipping the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner this year in “solidarity” with US President Donald Trump. WHCA President Jeff Mason said the White House informed this and the board “regrets this decision very much”, The Hill news reported. “We have worked hard to build a constructive relationship with the Trump White House and believe strongly that this goal is possible even with the natural tension between the press and the administration that is a hallmark of a healthy republic,” Mason added in a statement. Trump in February announced he will not appear at the WHCA dinner this year, a break with past presidents, adding his absence from the event is for the best. “That does not mean I am not going to do it next year,” he said

Former President Barack Obama repeatedly mocked Trump as he sat in the audience at the dinner in 2011.

during a February 27 interview on Fox News. “But I just thought it would be better if I did not do it this year.” “Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!” Trump tweeted at the time. Organizers for the annual dinner said the April 29 event will proceed as planned, despite Trump’s absence. The event, which is used to honor journalists covering the White House and award scholarships to

aspiring reporters, typically attracts a number of celebrities as well as many from media and politics. Trump chose to skip the dinner last year as well while campaigning for the presidency, despite many invites from media to attend. Former President Barack Obama repeatedly mocked Trump as he sat in the audience at the dinner in 2011, which many have speculated fueled Trump’s desire to enter the political arena.

Lok Sabha passes all four GST Bills The government is targeting the roll-out date of July 1 for the new indirect tax regime IANS, NEW DELHI

Jaitley: Milestone in economic history

ndia moved a step closer to becoming a unified market in line with the federalist vision of the architects of its Constitution with the passage in Parliament this week of the GST Bill, which extends pan-India except to Jammu and Kashmir for now. Jammu and Kashmir will need to pass all four bills in its state assembly, on account of its special powers on taxation under the Constitution. The Lok Sabha passed the muchawaited Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Bill, Integrated GST Bill, Compensation GST Bill and Union Territory GST Bill 2017, after negating all the amendments put forward by the Opposition. The four GST Bills were passed after an eight-hour marathon debate in the Lower House. The government is targeting the roll-out date of July 1 for the new indirect tax regime.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that goods may become “slightly cheaper” once all other taxes are removed after implementation of GST. Replying to the debate on the four bills in the Lok Sabha, he said all other taxes like entry tax in

states will be removed once the GST is in place. “Once all other taxes are removed, the cascading effect is removed, goods will become slightly cheaper,” he said. Noting that both the central and state governments are pooling their sovereignty to have this tax regime,

Attack on Nigerians: Fair probe assured IANS, NEW DELHI

E NEW DELHI: Delhi Lt. Governor Anil Baijal (in pic) has asked the Delhi government to recover Rs 97 crore it spent on certain advertisements from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), officials said this week. Sources in the Lt. Governor’s office said the order was issued on recommendations of the Committee on Content Regulation in Government Advertising (CCRGA) which found that the advertisements were used to promote the party instead of the government. “The committee had directed the Delhi government to assess the expenditure incurred by it on certain categories of advertisements and get it reimbursed from the political party concerned,” the source said. The Lt. Governor asked the government to issue a notice to the AAP for the recovery of amount already paid as well as the amount yet to be released by the government within 30 days. Last month, a report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) pulled up the government for using the name of the party in the advertisements. —IANS

NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and other officials hailed the passage of four Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bills in the Lok Sabha as a milestone in economic history of the country, congratulating the Council members for their efforts. “I congratulate everyone on the passage of GST Laws by Lok Sabha. It is a landmark tax reform since independence. A historic day for all of us. Congratulations to every trader, producer and consumer of goods and services in the country,” Jaitley tweeted. The four GST Bills — Central Goods and Services Tax Bill, Integrated GST Bill, Compensation GST Bill and Union Territory GST Bill 2017 — were passed in the Lower House on Wednesday.

xternal Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj this week assured an impartial probe into the alleged racial attack on some Nigerian students in Uttar Pradesh and promised action against the guilty. “The moment I got information about the attack, I immediately sought a report from the Uttar Pradesh government. I also talked to Chief Minister Aditya Nath Yogi and asked him for a public assurance of an impartial probe into the matter,” Swaraj informed the Rajya Sabha.

Sushma Swaraj

She said that Aditya Nath has assured of an impartial probe into the Monday night attack on four Nigerian students by a crowd in Greater Noida, some 40 km from the national capital.

The mob targeted the African nationals blaming them for drug running following the death of a teen due to suspected drug overdose. “Unless the probe is complete, it will not be appropriate for me to say anything on the matter,” added Swaraj, after Janata Dal-United member Sharad Yadav raised the matter in Rajya Sabha. “The (UP) administration there is ensuring peace and security as well as treatment of the injured Nigerian students. I assure the Parliament, there will be an impartial probe and action will be taken against whoever found guilty,” she said.

Jaitley noted that India, despite being one political entity, remained different economic entities with states having different taxes. “Centre and states both pooled sovereignty into one Council. It is India’s first federal decision making authority,” he said. The GST will subsume various indirect levies of the Centre and states like service tax, excise duty, octroi and value added tax (VAT). The CGST Bill will enable levy and collection of tax on intra-state supply of goods and services or both by the central government. Actual tax rates would be as per a four-tier rate structure of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent as approved by the GST Council. Clarifying on the tax rate on petroleum products in the regime, Jaitley said that the Council has decided that the petroleum products though they have been included under GST, will remain zero rated as of now.

bserving that the health of people was “far more important”, the Supreme Court on Wednesday said vehicles that do not comply with BS-IV emission norms cannot be sold in the country after April 1, 2017. The bench of Justice Madan B. Lokur and Justice Deepak Gupta also prohibited registration of BSIV non-compliant vehicles from April 1 at all the vehicle-registering authorities. “On and from 1st April, 2017, such vehicles that are not BS-IV compliant shall not be sold in India by any manufacturer or dealer, that is to say that such vehicles whether two-wheeler, three-wheeler, four-

“All the vehicle registering authorities under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, are prohibited for registering such vehicles on and from 1st April,

Banning the sale and registration, the court said the health of the people was “far far more important than the commercial interests of the manufacturers”. Erich Nesselhauf, Managing Director and CEO of Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, said, “Today’s decision of the Supreme Court reassures us in our belief that industry interests must go together with the interests of the society at large. The BS-IV standard will bring much needed improvements in terms of air quality, to the benefit of the people and the environment.”

TIGER IS BACK, BUT

WHERE ARE THE STRIPES? Farooq Abdullah has always enthused Kashmiris, be it with his playboy image or as an inheritor of his father’s political legacy SHEIKH QAYOOM, SRINAGAR

arooq Abdullah has been an instant crowd-puller in the past. But the “Tiger is back” image he has been trying to generate has failed to ignite the magic he was once famous for. Farooq Abdullah has always enthused Kashmiris — be it through his playboy image or as an inheritor of the nearly century-old political legacy of his father, the legendary Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah. “Yes, for nostalgia sake, I may vote for him. He is the seniormost mainstream politician in (Jammu and) Kashmir and has been, well,

not worse than others.” These words of a voter in north Kashmir’s Ganderbal district may sum up the current victory chances of the 79-year-old former Chief Minister. But they are a testimony to the huge beating the “Tiger” has taken in Kashmir over the years. A political heavyweight, Farooq Abdullah is the joint candidate of the National Conference and the Congress party against a comparatively lesser known Nazir Ahmad Khan of the state’s ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Abdullah is out to avenge his defeat of 2014 from the Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency by PDP’s Tariq Hameed Karra. Luckily for

Abdullah, Karra is now campaigning for him. Karra joined the Congress after he resigned from Parliament and the PDP last year. His resignation forced the present by-election in the Srinagar-Budgam parliamentary constituency. Although the election campaign ends in less than two weeks, poll-related activities are highly subdued. The odd campaign review meeting inside a highly fortified party headquarters or so-called “workers meetings” at party offices where iron gates guarded by the security forces forbid “public entry” is all that is so far seen in Srinagar, Ganderbal and Budgam districts.

But people do know that voting is scheduled for April 9. “The very fact that people are talking of a ‘fight’ between PDP’s Khan and Abdullah indicates the thin ice on which the National Conference leader is standing,” said a voter from Beerwah, the area from where the PDP candidate hails. Beerwah is represented in the

87-member state assembly by Abdullah’s son and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. The government has requested 250 additional companies of paramilitary forces from the central government to secure these elections, being held hardly four months since last year’s summer unrest ended with 94 people dead and several injured.

How pregnant women are avoiding anaemia With ‘Khoon ka Rishta’ campaign — an emotive route for an expectant mother — a woman is able to prevent herself from the disease, while making her own baby by consuming iron and folic acid tablet VISHNU MAKHIJANI, NEW DELHI

n the face of it, it’s deceptively simple. Pregnant woman across eight districts of Bihar are given 180 iron and folic acid (IFA) tablets to prevent anaemia, a similar number of blood drop-shaped red stickers and a booklet with an outline of a baby for pasting the stickers — one for every tablet consumed. At the end of the course, the baby is “complete”. That’s the powerful message the “Khoon Ka Rishta” initiative of BBC Media Action India, the broadcaster’s international charity, seeks to deliver — miss even one tablet and your baby’s at risk of blood deficiency. “Khoon ka Rishta” is an emotive route for an expectant mother to visually see how she is slowly making her own baby as she consumes each tablet; no mother would like to see an incomplete baby and this would act a self-driven push to complete the dose. Using blood drop-like stickers to complete the graphic of the baby is a vivid demonstration and as simple as

“Khoon Ka Rishta” is a common Hindi phrase used to establish the blood relationship between immediate family members.

having a pill,” BBC Media Action India Creative Director Soma Katiyar told IANS. (“Khoon Ka Rishta” is a common Hindi phrase used to establish the blood relationship between immediate family members — mother,

father, child, siblings, et al) “The Khoon ka Rishta campaign has brought about a significant change in the way expectant women look after their own health and that of the unborn child during pregnancy. It has greatly assist-

ed the expectant woman to see the link between her own health and that of her unborn child,” she added. Official data paints a grim picture — almost 58 per cent of pregnant women in India are anaemic,

with two-third (67 per cent) of women in Bihar suffering from the malady. Anaemia is directly and indirectly responsible for 40 per cent maternal deaths in India. One of the most effective ways of combating this, and turning the tide in favor of mothers and young children, is by making expecting women and lactating mothers consume IFA tablets. But, while the science is easily understood, its adoption by the targeted beneficiaries is not. Enter “a simple, doable, disruptive creative communication that tackles anaemia and turns audiences into participants”. How did the initiative come about? “It’s part of our ‘Shaping Demand and Practices’ project to improve family health bahavior in Bihar. To achieve this, we adopt a 360 degree approach, which uses communication in non-traditional ways. By using available and appropriate platforms we communicate life-saving messages to women/mothers, her family and the community at large,” Katiyar explained.

$250,000 prize for Indian-American Indian-origin teens took five of the top ten awards in this year’s Science talent search competition ARUL LOUIS, NEW YORK

rebellion began IndianAmerican teen Indrani Das on her way to the brain research that got her the quarter-million-dollar Regeneron Science Talent Search award for high school students. Most Indian parents want their children to become doctors, but not her parents. Das, who calls herself a “rebel”, recalled to IANS that her parents had told her: “Whatever you do, don’t be a doctor. Don’t become a doctor, it’s long and expensive.” “So I decided I wanted to be a doctor,” she said. And that rebellious ambition led her to her medical-oriented science project. Her parents Bidyut and Tanima Das, who are from Kolkata and now live in Oradell, New Jersey, are bankers by profession. The 17-year-old, who is in the final year of high school at the Academy for Medical Science Technolo-

Indian-origin man beaten up in Aus MELBOURNE: An Indian man, who was assaulted by a group of teenagers at a restaurant in Australia’s Hobart city, has said the racial mood is changing in the country and assaults, ethinc slurs are becoming more common. Li Max Joy, who hails from Kerala and works as a part-time taxi driver, was attacked by a group of five youngsters at McDonald’s restaurant in north Hobart on Saturday. They hurled racial abuses like “you bloody black Indians” at him and assaulted him, reported The Mercury newspaper. The 33-year-old victim said that the teenagers had been arguing with the McDonald’s manager when he reached the restaurant to have coffee, but turned their anger on him when they noticed him. “They were angry at the McDonald’s staff but turned their anger on me in the car park and then inside the store,” he said. Joy said he was punched 30 to 40 times. “Three of those boys punched me in the face and said, ‘You bloody black Indian ****, why are you here?’,” Li told Australia’s SBS television network. Joy was admitted to a hospital with serious wounds. He was later discharged and he reported the incident to the police. He said the increasing racial hostility could stem from “the Donald Trump effect”. —IANS

I would also like to do research.” Her project on finding ways to treat damage to the brain from injuries or disease won her the top prize earlier this month in the nation’s foremost science contest

Indian-American calls Trump ‘devil’ IANS, WASHINGTON

ndian-American Congressman Ro Khanna, a Democrat who represents the 17th Congressional District of California, known as the Silicon Valley, called President Donald Trump a “devil” and his budget proposal “dumb”. “You talk to members of Congress and they don’t agree with everything he says.

sored by Westinghouse in 1942 and Intel took it up from 1998 till last year. Twelve of the contest alumni have won Nobel Prizes. Indian American teens took five of the top ten awards in this year’s competition in which 1,700 high school students participated. SSP President Maya Ajmera said Das’s “dedication to making the world a better place through science — whether through her research on treating brain damage or volunteer work in her community — is truly inspiring”. Explaining her research, Das said that when Alzheimer, Parkinson’s, stroke or a traumatic injury affects the brain, the neurons, which are the main signal cells of the brain, are killed. Next the supporting cells — astrocytes — that are supposed to nurture and protect the neurons, go awry and create a toxic chemical environment, poisoning the neurons.

Let’s ignore everything else.” Responding to a question on what bothers him the most about the Trump administration’s budget proposal, which might get passed, too, Khanna said “foreign aid”. “I mean, I can’t think of a more dumb proposal than, frankly, than cutting that [foreign aid].” Khanna said that he is worried that the Republicans would not push back on cutting the US foreign aid. He said, on humanitarian grounds, the US should continue to extend help to other countries.

In a statement in the House of Commons, the Prime Minister told members this marks “the moment for the country to come together”. “This is an historic moment from which there can be no turning back.

RSS chief says no to President’s job Mohan Bhagwat rebuffs Sena, says not in the race for the President of India’s post IANS, NAGPUR (MAHARASHTRA)

n a sharp rebuttal of the Shiv Sena’s proposal, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat this week made it clear that he was not in the race for the President of India’s post and asserted he will not accept it even if he was nominated. “I am not interested in that post. Such news is only for entertainment. That is never going to happen.. So treat it as entertainment and forget it,” Bhagwat said addressing a function here. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s ally Shiv Sena earlier in the week urged the Narendra Modi government to consider Bhagwat

for the post of President, contending that it would pave the way for India to become a Hindu Rashtra. Sena’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut made a strong case for the 66year-old Bhagwat for the country’s top post and said the issue had been discussed even with party President Uddhav Thackeray who held a similar views. Justifying it, he said that a staunch Hindu nationalist (Hindutvawadi) leader Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister, and now another Hindutva proponent Adityanath Yogi has become Chief Minister of India’s biggest state Uttar Pradesh. “Bhagwat is a strong leader, a staunch nationalist and has a deep

knowledge of the Constitution, so if the BJP wants to make India a ‘Hindu Rashtra’, his name must be considered.. He is the most ideal candidate,” Raut had said. But barely 48 hours later, Bhagwat flatly refused to be drawn into the debate on Presidential contenders and insisted his only priority was the RSS. “We close all doors on politics before coming here. When we work in the Sangh, we don’t go there (to such high posts). There are many Swayamsevaks up there and they know it well,” he said — obliquely hinting at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a former Swayamsevak who should know about the RSS culture.

“Even if in an impossible situation my name is nominated, I will not accept it,” Bhagwat declared, asking his followers not to be alarmed over the news. “It is an entertaining news and

should be looked at that way and left at that... It will evaporate on its own,” added Bhagwat. The presidential election is due in July when President Pranab Mukherjee’s five-year term ends.

Grounded Sena MP Telangana, Andhra Pradesh vents ire at Air India celebrate ‘Ugadi’ with gaiety MUMBAI: Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad, who has been barred by all Indian airlines from flying on their aircraft, targeted the national carrier Air India here and accused it of “cheating people and giving poor service”. A week after he was grounded following a verbal and physical assault on a 60-year-old Air India staffer on March 23, Gaikwad contended that his grouse was over the “inefficiency and bad service” provided by the carrier and not for being denied a business class seat for which he held an open ticket. “The media is showing only onesided version of Air India, which is misleading...,” Gaikwad said. “On the Pune-New Delhi flight that day, I had the business class ticket and I was also issued a business class boarding pass. Until I boarded... nobody informed me that there was no business class on flight,” he said. In a statement, he said he has traveled innumerable times in economy class so he was not inconvenienced even that day. “I am a simple person leading an ordinary life... I mingle with the poor, farmers, laborers... So my concern was not travelling economy class, but the denial of service matching the tickets issued to passengers.” “In fact, there was a handicapped passenger sitting in the second row so I even offered him my seat in the first row for his comfort... A wrong

impression has been created that my reaction was for not getting a business class seat,” Gaikwad added in the statement. Venting his ire at Air India, he said passengers are not given the service and facilities as per their tickets and when he asked for the complaint book, it was not given to him till the flight landed in New Delhi that day. Gaikwad said he had requested the airlines staff to let him meet some senior officials and that he would sit in the aircraft till then. “Suddenly, one person named Sukumar rushed inside in a huff, created a ruckus shouting, ‘Who is this MP, I don’t know any MP’... ‘I even said — you are a senior person, remain calm and don’t raise your blood pressure’ to him,” the MP said. —IANS

India beat Myanmar in Asian Cup qualifier YANGON: Indian skipper Sunil Chhetri proved his worth again as his solitary goal in the 90th minute broke a 64-year jinx of beating Myanmar at home in the 2019 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup qualifier round here. Udanta Singh’s exquisite pass from inside the box was calmly con-

We’ve seen other closet-fans do the same with Rajnikanth in Tamil cinema where the superstar’s political and personal ideologies are so

intertwined as to make the cinema look more ‘Sir Real’ (reality as seen through the servile eyes of fanfilmmaker) than surreal or, real. Though set in the rural heartland of Andhra Pradesh, there is not a real bone in the entire of body of work in Katamarayudu. The entire film, hijacked and heroically re-structured from the Tamil hit Veeram, unfurls as one lengthy show reel showcasing its starattraction Pawan Kalyan’s dexterity with crowd-pleasuring tactics (like keeping his cool when villains get aggressive or when the heroine sways by sexily). —By Subhash K Jha

The sizeable donation is expected to help fund a $21-million-project aimed at bringing a modernized catheterization lab and emergency department expansion to the Tampa Bay community, the hospital said in a recent news release. “We are all in to help make Florida Hospital Carrollwood’s Cardiac Cath Lab second to none and are excited to bring this advanced facility to the community that we call home,” said Dr Kiran Patel, a Tampa-based entrepreneur and philanthropist, who celebrated his birthday the day the donation was announced. “We feel blessed that the Patels have chosen Florida Hospital Carrollwood to donate $5 million,” Florida Hospital Carrollwood president and chief executive Joe Johnson said. “Most people look forward to receiving gifts on their birthday however, Dr. Patel is celebrating his birthday today, by giving back to the community.” Patel is also the chairman and president of Freedom Health Inc. and Optimum Health Inc. in Florida.

Patel built the WellCare Management Group which he sold in 2002 to a private equity group. The Patels–Kiran a cardiologist and Pallavi a pediatrician–have used these proceeds to continue their generous philanthropic work in the Tampa Bay community. The couple’s nonprofit organization, the Kiran and Pallavi Patel Foundation for Global

Understanding, funds a number of initiatives in health, education and culture and offers an annual scholarship to the underprivileged youth in the US. The new catheterization lab will open in July 2017 and ground-breaking on the “Dr. Kiran C. Patel” Emergency Department expansion will occur in late 2017.

According to a statement from the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California, Harjit Kaur Johal, 50, and Jasvir Kaur, 47, bought fraudulent paystubs from a Khan family in Yuba City, Calif., and then subsequently filed for unemployment or disability benefits with the Employment Development Department (EDD) based upon the fictitious wages. Johal and Kaur paid the Khans extra money to report higher wages so that they could receive greater sums of money from the EDD. The amount of the benefits the EDD pays out is based upon the applicant’s prior earnings. With this scheme and related schemes, Johal and Kaur managed to defraud the EDD out of $30,000 apiece.

Visa camp by Hindu Temple of St. Louis OFBJP hails BJP wins in state polls

( L to R) Deep Pragtya by Amar Upadhyay ( OFBJP National General Secretary), Haribhai Patel, Dr. Bharatbhai Barai, Narsinhbhai Patel, Ramanbhai Patel & Rohit Joshi

BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO, IL – The Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP) celebrated the historic victory of BJP in the recently concluded elections in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttarkhand and Manipur. This celebration event was held on March 25 at the Rana Reagan center located in the Carol Stream suburb of Chicago, Illinois. The program started with a welcome speech by OFBJP national general secretary Amar Upadhyay. He started with a warm welcome to the Bharatiya Senior Citizens group, United Senior Citizens group, OFBJP members, VHPA members and HHS members who were all present at the event with a total strength of more than couple of hundreds. He passed on his congratulatory message to the newly-appointed chief ministers of UP Yogi Aadityanathji, of Uttarkhand Trivendra Singh Rawat, of Manipur N Biren Singh and of Goa Manohar parikar. Upadhyay also shared the experiences and hard work he, along with Rohit Joshi and others put in during the UP election campaign. They went all the way to UP and do the legwork before the campaign.

C BY A STAFF WRITER T LOUIS, MO -- Hindu Temple of St. Louis organized a community outreach program with Indian consulate (Chicago) on March 19. A team of consulate officials from Chicago led by Consul Vishav Pal, Arun Kumar Saxena, Vice Consul, and Santhos visited St. Louis to conduct a free community camp. This was a very successful event and about 200 families came to seek answers to their questions. The temple provided the copying services, notary services and other help as needed by the community. Consulate officials answered questions and provided help on the spot to mitigate some of the difficulties faced by the Indian

community in regard to OCI and visa. It is always good for the consulate to meet the Indians, listen to their issues which in turn help consulate to formulate their programs for the community help as well as it provides a positive image of Indian consulate among the Indian Diaspora. The consulate has planned more such events where both sides can interact and be helpful in providing service and feedback. The consulate officials’ visit was helped by the temple volunteers led by Sharath Rao, president of the temple, Ashwin Patel, Prasad Bokka, Jignesh Patel, Krishna Rao Moharir, Padma Sai Dammaapatil, Puran Luthra, Phani Raju Nachu, Danunjay, Kantha Rao and Srinivas.

A ‘deep prajavalan’ ceremony was conducted where Joshi invited the guest of honor Bharat Barai from the Chicagoland area and Khemchand from the Delhi BJP unit, along with other OFBJP members. Joshi, OFBJP Chicago youth convener Nirav Patel, Barai and Khemchand spoke on the occasion. BJP communication cell convener Khemchand talked about the upcoming elections for the municipal corporation of Delhi. He also shared ways to contribute to this election campaign through social media, use of voluntary services by making phone calls and any resources that could make a positive impact for the BJP Delhi unit. He also pointed out that Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal had failed t keep his promises. To ensure Delhi sees a comprehensive development, it was important for Delhi to form a BJP governance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visionary leadership. Barai shared his experiences with Modi during 1990s when he was just a party worker. The program concluded with a vote of thanks by Nirav Patel OFBJP to all the guests and organizations.

BY A STAFF WRITER AMMAMISH, WASH. -- An Indian American resident of Sammamish, Wash., believes she was the victim of a hate crime, but local police are investigating it as a road rage incident. Tarul Kode Tripathi, a pharmacist and a mother of two young children, told the police she was driving her car in Issaquah, Wash., when another car came up beside her. The driver started to get angry and started swearing at her. Tripathi rolled down her window and told the driver to “calm down.” The driver yelled back at her, “Get out.” Tripathi said she was upset, but wasn’t sure whether a crime had taken place. She reported the incident to the Sammamish police. A Caucasian woman told her not to personalize it and that it could happen to anyone.

But Tripathi believes she was targeted because of her race, and was told to “get out” because she is not white. She said she felt disappointed by the police officers’ nonresponse to the possible hate crime. Sammamish City Manager Howard Lyman issued a statement saying that officers were told the profanities did not include any racial or ethnic content and there was no indication a crime had been committed. He noted that Tripathi declined to file a police report. Lyman said investigators think it was likely a road rage incident rather than a racial or ethnic confrontation. Sgt. Cindi West of the Sammamish Police Department said Tripathi never told the officers the man told her to “get out” during the road rage incident, and even if she had, Sgt. West says that still wouldn’t meet the requirements of malicious harassment or a hate crime.

CNN documentary angers Hindus

BY A STAFF WRITER hicago, IL -- The Hindu community of Midwest under the banner of Vishwa Hindu Parishad of North America Chicago (VHPA-Chicago) came out in large numbers to protest against CNN for the documentary televised on March 5 about Hinduism produced by its special reporter Reza Aslan. Over 500 protesters gathered in a peaceful protest in front of CNN Chicago Bureau on Michigan Ave with signs to boycott CNN over its bigotry and distorted documentary that is feared to increase the hate crimes in United States. Aslan from CNN who claims to be the religious scholar went to Banaras, India and showed most weird and grotesque practices of select five individuals: eating human flesh, drinking alcohol and urine from skull as portrayal for over a billion practitioners of Hinduism while projecting them as fighters against the Hindu caste system. Without consulting any authority or a scholar, he painted a completely inaccurate and unsubstantiated picture of the Hinduism. Hinduism is a religion, or a way of life found most notably in India and Nepal. Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world and some practitioners and scholars refer to it as Santana Dharma, “the eternal law,” or the “eternal way, beyond human origins. Today, 1.25 Billion Hindus all over the world comprise world-renowned scientists, entrepreneurs, educators, businessmen, medical doctors, engineers, software engineers, accounting professionals and so on. Indian scientists created indigenous nuclear technology, intercontinental ballistic missiles, Chandrayan moon spaceship, satellites, rockets

Dr. Bharat Barai & Sunil Shah with prominent community leaders from various groups

to put satellites in orbit, including the last one that put world record 104 satellites into orbit from a single rocket. Dr. Bharat Barai, recipient of highest nonresident Indian honor and a senior community leader, stated, “Instead of trying to show all positives elements of Hinduism, it showed extreme and cannibalistic practices of only five individuals as Hinduism. The grotesque practices of five individuals have nothing to do with Hinduism; they are not part of any Hindu scriptures or Hindu teachings. 1.25 Billion Hindus do not do those things. Hindus do last rites of their dear ones in a very respectable way. The caste system was based on the profession, not birth when it started 5,000 years ago. It was during the medieval times; Hindus were in survival mode under Islamic and British rulers and were forced into following the caste system based on by birth. After independence, the Hindu Society in India has been reforming itself. The Constitution of India treats everyone equal

and, in fact, the so-called Dalits today enjoy special opportunities in education, employment and elected bodies. “CNN and Reza Aslan have responsibility to make accurate, fair and balanced presentation on any topic. This was a highly biased and extreme presentation to sensationalize the practices of few isolated people as Hinduism. CNN and Reza Aslan had plenty of resources available to know about over billion Hindus worldwide, their scriptures, their practices and their real lives.” said Dr. Shamkant Sheth, president of VHPA-Chicago. He demanded CNN to consult the scholars and immediately apologize for this gross blunder. The protest was actively supported and attended by many highly-respected community leaders, including Krishna Bansal, Hemant Patel, Jitendra Diganvker, Jitendra Bulsara, Sailesh Rajput, Amitabh Mittal, Nirav Patel, Shridhar Damle, Amar Upadhya, Haribhai Patel, Narsibhai Patel, Ramanbhai Patel, Santosh Kumar, Hina Trivedi, Sunil Shah and many more.

Indian is arrested for 2016 fatal accident BY A STAFF WRITER AST HAVEN, CT-- An Indian American man in East Haven, Conn., has been arrested in connection with a fatal crash last

year. Shivam Patel, 23, turned himself in to the police on March 24 after becoming aware of a warrant that was obtained for his arrest. Patel was arrested for his role in a two-car accident on Insterstate 95 in Milford, Conn., in April 2016. The state police said Patel was responsible

Shivam Patel

for the death of Terell Wilson, 24. Wilson was in a car that was hit head-on by a car driven by Patel. He succumbed to his injuries on May 9, 2016. Patel was charged with second-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle, reckless endangerment, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, reckless driving and driving the wrong way on the highway. He was released on a $50,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 12.

Sergio Morgan-Wideman

BY A STAFF WRITER T. AUGUSTINE, FL -- A 17-year-old boy has been convicted in the fatal shooting of an Indian American store clerk in northeast Florida. Jurors found Sergio MorganWideman guilty on March 24 of firstdegree murder, robbery with a firearm and aggravated assault. He faces life in prison at his May sentencing. Morgan-Wideman was 15 years old in May 2015 when authorities say he killed 29-year-old Malav Desai at Tobacco and Beverage Express in St. Augustine. The jurors heard from more than 20 witnesses and watched a surveillance video that captured the shooting by a masked assailant. Jurors needed just over four hours to convict the teen of the charges after just over two days of testimony. The verdict was read out in the St. Johns County courtroom of Circuit Court Judge Howard Maltz. The all-white jury also found the teen guilty of one count of robbery with a firearm and two counts of aggravated assault for pointing his gun at, and forcing to the floor, two female patrons who were in the store at the time. In her closing argument, lead counsel Rosemarie Peoples pointed jurors to what she said should be considered reasonable doubt in the pile of evidence that the state presented, including cargo pockets on pants recovered from her client that appeared to ride higher on the leg than the pants seen in the video. She also pointed out that no experts or witnesses placed Morgan-Wideman at the store, and crime scene technicians and analysts were never able to find any of his DNA there, either. Johnson called the shooting “senseless” as he told jurors that MorganWideman’s actions were premeditated and met the legal standards of the crimes for which he was accused. Desai, he said, had only worked at the St. Augustine store for two months the day Morgan-Wideman shot him. “Malav Desai did not fight him, he did not argue with him, he did not resist in any way,” Johnson said. “Malav Desai did exactly, exactly what this defendant asked of him, he did exactly what this defendant demanded of him. He gave him all the money from the cash register.” “And what did he get in return?” Johnson asked the jurors. “A bullet to the head.” Morgan-Wideman faces a potential life sentence that, because of his age, would be eligible for review after 25 years.

Senator all praise for Indian talent

BY A STAFF WRITER ASHINGTON, DC -Indian talent is essential for the US to maintain its leadership in the field of innovation and research, a top Republican senator has said, amid the ongoing controversy over immigration under the Donald Trump administration. “We need that (Indian) talent to come in and fill these jobs if we want to continue to be the leader in innovation and in research,” Senator Thom Tillis from North Carolina told a group of Indian Americans at an event organized on Capitol Hill last week by the US-India Friendship Council and US-India Business Council. As part of the effort to retain Indian talent, who come to the US for higher studies with most of them being in the field of STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics), Tillis favored the idea of giving green cards along with their degrees. Referring to the shortage of talented people in certain areas like science and technology, Tillis said he would have had a different opinion if there was enough talent within the country.

“These are very, very important jobs for the US to continue to maintain its competitive advantage as the greatest innovative nation that has ever existed,” Tillis said. Tillis is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee wherein he has an important role

to play in immigration reform, in particular those related to visas. Before joining politics, Tillis was a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, prior to which he worked with people in Bengaluru and Mumbai on a daily basis.

Indian teens shine at Brain Bee contest BY A STAFF WRITER PRINGDALE, AR -- Indian American teenagers swept to victory this month at the USA Brain Bee Championship. Sojas Wagle, a 15-year-old sophomore at Springdale’s Har-Ber High School in Arkansas, was declared the 2017 national champion at the three-day competition. The championship is held annually at the University of Maryland. Wagle beat r unner-up Aar thi Vijayakumar of Minneapolis, and Amit Kannan of Indianapolis, who came in at third place. In addition to going to Washington, D.C., in August for the International Brain Bee Championship, Wagle won an eightweek internship in a neuroscience laboratory. A donation will also be given to the brain-disorder charity of his choice. The international competition will be held

BY A STAFF WRITER RENTON, NJ -- Two owners of a Jersey City jewelry store have been sentenced in a $200-million international credit card fraud scheme, one of the largest ever charged by federal authorities. According to a statement from the US Attorney for the District of New Jersey, Vijay Verma, 49, and Tarsem Lal, 78, both of Iselin, were sentenced to 14 months in prison and a year of house arrest, respectively, after previously pleading guilty to their roles in the scheme. US District Judge Anne Thompson issued the sentence in Trenton federal court on March 27. Verma and Lal were indicted in October 2013 for fabricating more than 7,000 false identities to obtain tens of thousands of credit cards. The scheme involved an “elaborate network of false identities” and thousands of “drop addresses” across the country--including houses, apartments and P.O. boxes--which were used as mailing addresses for the false identities. Credit reports were doctored to “pump up the spending and borrowing power associated with the cards.” The men borrowed or spent as much as they could without repaying the debts, causing more than $200 million in losses to businesses and financial institutions. Verma and Lal both admitted to allowing people to come into their store to use credit cards they knew did not legitimately belong to them. The two men would then split the proceeds of the phony transactions with these other conspirators. Verma was also sentenced to three years of supervision upon release and Lal was also sentenced to three years of probation. They were both fined $5,000 and were ordered to pay a forfeiture of nearly $500,000.

Indians’ gesture for US saviour BY A STAFF WRITER OUSTON, TX -- A 24-year-old American, who took a bullet for an Indian engineer, has been honored as ‘A True American Hero’ by the Indian American community in Houston which raised $100,000 to help him buy a house in his hometown in Kansas.

Ashok Veeraghavan

BY A STAFF WRITER OUSTON, T X -- Ashok Veeraraghavan, an Indian American professor at Rice University, and his research group received a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Award on March 20. The five-year grant to Veeraraghavan is for $549,000, said a Rice University release. The NSF awards CAREER grants to young scientists who show the potential for leadership in their fields. Veeraraghavan specializes in the use of computer technology, statistics and sophisticated algorithms to see both farther and deeper, and at increasingly sharper resolution.

H Ian Grillot was honored as ‘A True American Hero’

“I don’t know if I could’ve lived with myself if I wouldn’t have stopped or attempted to stop the shooter because that would’ve been completely devastating.” India’s ambassador to the US Navtej Sarna handed over the check to Grillot. Popular Indian chef Vikas Khanna was

another guest of honor at the event and talked about his immigrant experience, struggles that immigrants go through. India House also gave a Lifetime Achievement Award to renowned cardiologist Dr. Virendra Mathur, who has completed 60 years of his professional career.

That’s it, and I ple going to wear price tag or garLecoanet Hemant ceased its activ-

ities in Paris in March 2000 to move into a totally new business of readyto-wear in India. The decision was taken when Didier Lecoanet and Sagar opted to launch a new industrial couture line and saw Asia as the ideal launchpad for their registered fashion brand. From their first fashion show held in Paris in 1981 to making space for their brand in India — they have had a glorious journey. They have completed 38 years in the industry. To celebrate that, the designer duo curated an exhibition showcasing some of their finest pieces. The exhibition highlighted the designers’ creative work, their legacy and their efforts in contributing towards placing India on the global fashion map. On display at the exhibition were 30 to 40 creations, half of which were made in Paris and the other half at their Gurgaon Atelier.

Is your hair summer ready? IANS, NEW DELHI

ummers are a great time to be out in the sun, feel the sand under your feet and soak in the warm summer breeze but its not just skin that needs to be protected in the scorching weather but also hair. One can follow some do it yourself remedies like hot oil massage and washing less often to make tresses summer ready.

Audrey D’Souza, TIGI Educator and Sangeeta Velaskar, Vice President and Head, Medical Services and R&D, Kaya Limited give you a lowdown on getting through the season with fabulous hair! l Avoid heat treatments: With the sun rays being strong; additional use of any heat styling products will damage your hair more. l Night treatment: Wrap a towel around your hair after applying a leave-in conditioner to the dry and frizzy hair areas and leave overnight. Voila! Wake up with

tamed, soft and unfrizzy hair. l Hot oil rinse: Coconut, olive, and avocado oils penetrate easily into the hair shaft. Shampoo hair as usual, then massage in oil from ends to roots. Rinse and condition as usual. This will instantly make your hair feel softer to touch and much more hydrated. l Retain moisture and keep hair protected: The ultimate threat for your hair during summers is the combination of sun and humidity. Hence, it’s important to make sure your hair retains its moisture.

NEW DELHI: Three fashion students from the National Capital Region have won direct entries to the upcoming India Runway Week. The three winners of the DsyN BlooM contest organized by Vaatsaalyaa Charitable Trust for Education — Yashfa from Design Zone, Simran from the International Polytechnic for Women and Himanshi Koli from JankiDevi Vocational Centre — will showcase their designs at “Asia’s youngest fashion trade event” scheduled to be held next month. They were picked by a jury comprising fashion photographer Rohit Suri, FDCI member and Designer Sonia Jetley, Designers Niket Mishra, Manish Tripathi, Rohini Gugnani, and Megha & Jigar.

Using handlooms for makeovers MUMBAI: Ace fashion designers like Rajesh Pratap Singh and Rohit Bal will be giving makeovers to youngsters using handloom on the TV show “Get The Look #GlobalIndia”. The NDTV Good Times show will also have designer Sanjay Garg, Monica and Karishma and Gaurang Shah. Thirteen youngsters will be stepping out and making fabrics like Khadi, Banarsi, Chanderi, linen and cotton a part of their style palate, read a statement. Dermatalogist and beauty expert Kiran Lohia, and stylists like Divya Arora, Rod Anker, Majari Malik and Vidya Tikari will help in giving a makeover and each episode will analyze and style individuals to reinvent their wardrobe and confidence level.

experts. Alia Rizvi, Dermatologist at Me Clinic - Masters of Esthetics, and Megha Shah, a Cosmetologist, have rolled out basic pointers that can be easily incorporated in daily beauty regimens: v Keep your face clean. Remove your make up properly. You can use a salycylic face wash. v Rinse your face once you get home after spending the day outside. v Do not scrub. Over washing and scrubbing can cause skin irritation.

v Don’t touch your face too often. Or don’t lean on any surface. Here the face can get infected with bacteria. v Try using brands or make-

up which say on the label -noncomedogenic. v Avoid the sun. It can increase the chance of a acne outbreak. v You can use anti-acne masks once a week. v Acne occurs because of hormonal imbalance, so your dermatologist might ask you to get your hormones tested. v Dandruff is also one of the most common causes of acne on forehead or back. It’s important to use an antidandruff shampoo suggested by your dermatologist. v Avoid wearing tight body hugging clothes if you have acne on the body.
