NEWS BRIEF No word from BJP on Cabinet expansion: Uddhav
Agency | Mumbai
NDA partner Shiv Sena has not received any communication from the BJP over the inclusion of its members in the Union Cabinet expansion scheduled for tomorrow, party chief Uddhav Thackeray today said. “I have got news about the Cabinet expansion only from media. I have not enquired about it (from the central BJP leadership). I have neither received any communication from anybody nor are we hungry for power,” Thackeray told reporters here. Driver, cleaner killed as truck plunges into river
Agency | Kota
A truck driver and cleaner died today after their vehicle lost balance and plunged into a river in Rajasthan’s Jhalawar district, police said. According to Hukum Chand, SHO, Misroli police station, the plumps-laden truck fell 30 feet deep into the river while crossing Silegarh over-bridge in the wee hours. The driver and cleaner, residents of Haryna, died on the spot, he said, adding their identity is yet to be ascertained. The bodies have been sent for postmortem, police added.
day.“I met with Modi ji and said that I’m ready. He said ‘Okay’ and I gave my resignation. I had to give a written resignation then but I submitted it yesterday,” Mishra was quoted saying by ANI. He said that he had offered to resign from the cabinet earlier too, before the Uttar Pradesh elections. “After the election concluded, I again went to them (PM Modi and Party President Amit Shah) and said that I have
completed 76 years now, and you can take a decision about me,” he said. The departure of Mishra, 76, from the cabinet had been talked about during the reshuffle last year too as the unofficial age limit for ministers in Narendra Modi’s council is 75. But it was believed that the party decided to retain him ahead of the UP elections as he was a prominent Brahmin leader from the state. Along with Mishra,
Labour minister Bandaru Dattatreya and junior ministers like Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Sanjiv Balyan, Faggan Kulaste and Mahendra Nath Pandey have also submitted their resignations. While Pandey was appointed the chief of the UP BJP unit, other leaders are expected to be called for organisational work ahead of the 2019 elections. Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti is also learnt to have offered to resign though whether she would be dropped is a matter of speculation. She neither confirmed nor denied the news of her resignation. The reshuffle, third since the government was elected to power in 2014, is likely to be the last
before the 2019 polls. A bunch of leaders, mostly hailing from poll-bound states like Karnataka, Himachal, Gujarat and Rajasthan, are likely to be inducted into the cabinet. Some of the names doing the rounds are BJP general secretary Bhupender Yadav, party’s vice president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, Prahlad Patel, Suresh Angadi, Satyapal Singh, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Anurag Thakur, Shobha Karandlaje, Maheish Girri and Prahlad Joshi. At the same time, speculation remains rife about the defence ministry which was allotted to Arun Jaitley, who also handles the finance portolio, after Manohar Parrikar moved to Goa.
Delhi LG Anil Baijal bans dumping of solid waste at Ghazipur landfill, day after collapse
Agency | New Delhi
Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Anil Baijal on Saturday banned the dumping of solid waste at the landfill in Ghazipur. Following an emergency meeting taken in the national capital today, the LG instructed traffic to be diverted from the site as a precautionary measure. Taking to Twitter, he informed that the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) will start lifting garbage from
the site in November this year to use in the construction of roads. A part of the garbage mound at the Ghazipur landfill collapsed on Friday, killing two people and sweeping many vehicles from the adjacent road. According to locals in the area, a heap
of trash from atop a 50-metre mountain of garbage “broke off and collapsed”. It fell into the Hindon canal, the water of which swept away two bikes, a scooty and a taxi into an adjacent canal. The grill of the adjacent canal, due to the pressure
low the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) for admissions to medical courses, took the extreme step out of helplessness. Members of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) and the Revolutionary Students and
Youth Front (RSYF) participated in the protest on Saturday. Anitha had secured 1,176 marks out of 1,200 in her Class XII examination, and 199.75 out of 200 for engineering and 196.75 for medicine. Her marks would have guaranteed her a seat in either stream without NEET. However, she had managed to score only 86 per cent in the NEET. “Anitha managed to study in difficult circumstances. She was concerned about NEET.
Protests erupt in Chennai a day after NEET petitioner Anitha commits suicide Agency | New Delhi
A day after 17-yearold S Anitha committed suicide at her residence in Ariyalur district, near Trichy in Tamil Nadu, protests erupted in Chennai, demanding justice for her. Students from Left parties took to the streets of Mount Road to protest her death, reported news agency ANI. Some of the protesters were detained by the police. Anitha, who had petitioned the Supreme Court against its order to Tamil Nadu to fol-
of the water, broke. The impact of the crash also left a bordering wall and 14 streetlights damaged. 20-year-old Abhishek Gautam, who was riding a bike that was washed away, was declared brought dead by doctors at Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) Hospital. The other victim, Raj Kumari, also 20-years-old, was riding pillion on the Scooty that was also swept away. According to the police, the heavy rains in Delhi this week could have caused the collapse. They believe rain-aided formation of gases may have caused an explosion in the garbage dump, reported said.

in water logging and flooding in parts of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Assam and very recently, Mumbai. The downpour has led to several deaths and damage to property. Floods have claimed over 400 lives in Bihar, while at least 90 people have been killed in Assam. At least 30 people were killed during Mumbai rains as well. Many hilly areas in the northern part of the country, such as Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and
Jammu and Kashmir, have seen landslides, flooding and damage to loss and property due to cloudbursts during monsoon this year. On August 13, a huge landslide had killed 46 people in Himachal’s Mandi. The disaster, which occurred on the Mandi-Pathankot National Highway 154, saw two buses fall into a gorge due to the landslide. Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh had announced Rs 5 lakh ex gratia for the families of the deceased.
Even as the adopted daughter and constant companion of rape convict Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim remains on the run, a letter has surfaced claiming that Honeypreet escaped with some constable Vikas of Fatehabad. The letter identifies its author as Honeypreet, who wrote it on August 25 - the day when Ram Rahim was convicted
of rape and sexual exploitation of two sadhvis in a 15-yearold case. The special CBI court of Panchkula had pronounced Ram Rahim guilty of raping two sadhvis at his Dera. Ram Rahim was taken to Rohtak jail the same evening while Panchkula and some other places witnessed wide-scale violence by Dera followers resulting in death of 38 people. Honeypreet accompanied Ram
Rahim till the guest house where Ram Rahim was initially lodged in Rohtak. When police shifted Ram Rahim to Sunaria jail and did not allow Honeypreet to accompany him inside the prison, the adopted daughter of the Sirsa-based godman fled the scene. Honeypreet has since remained untraceable. Haryana police teams reached as far as Nepal border in search of Honeypreet but without success. Now, this letter has surfaced on social media. However, it is yet to be ascertained that the letter was actually written by Honeypreet. Police sources have described the letter as “fake”.

its mother when a rope got entangled in its neck around 6 am. When the news of the calf’s death spread, the panchayat of Nai Community met around 10 am and announced it’s punishment to the woman. Municipal Councilor Mukesh Garg, in whose ward no 10 the woman and her
family resides, told The Indian Express on phone that he opposed the punishment but no one listened to him. He said the cow belonged to the woman and the death was accidental, not intentional. He said even 24 hours after the punishment, the woman has not returned to her house.
A massive landslide has occurred on the Chandigarh-Shimla National Highway near Dhalli Tunnel in Himachal Pradesh, with many vehicles buried under debris, said. Traffic movement has been affected owing to a portion of the highway being blocked off. Part of a temple has also been damaged.

State must look after the safety of women, children in ‘spiritual’ communes
Fifteen years seems an agonisingly long time for a rape victim to get justice. Today, we are revelling in the fact that justice has been done but if you look back at how long it took for the complaints of the two victims to bring Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh to his knees, you can imagine the fear and horror they must have lived in all these years. And what happened to all the other young women whom he preyed on and whose voices either could not be raised against him or were disregarded by the very people who should have protected them and taken them out of harm’s way. In so many cases, these so-called godmen usually target the young and vulnerable, in most cases children and women, as part of their efforts to consolidate their grip on their empires. In the Asaram Bapu case, young boys mysteriously vanished from his ashram, a few were found murdered and the fate of many others is still unknown even though the charlatan was caught eventually. I found it particularly heart-rending that the young woman whose case got the most attention in the Singh case spoke of his depredations to her family but no one either believed her or were too scared to take on the might of the rapist. Most of these spiritual leaders seem to, if nothing else, understand the human psyche, especially that of women, much more than we give them credit for. If a marginalised community finds validation in these cults, within the marginalised, the very lowest tend to be women. Illiteracy and irrelevance is what often leads them to believe in the fakery and chicanery of these people. In a world where they are voiceless, they often come to these cults in the hopes of a better life for their families, some safety for their children and menial jobs for their husbands. In this illusory world, they believe that the spiritual leader will give them the crumbs that society cannot or will not afford them. This creates a dependency syndrome which very often turns into a hostage like situation. So pervasive is the fear of the so-called guru that, as the woman in the Singh case said, she feared that she would be hunted down and killed if she tried to escape. In many cases, their lack of education and awareness leads to a situation where the spiritual leader’s ugly advances are cleverly marketed as the women being chosen for special favours.

Hollywood-Bollywood Brad Pitt Reportedly Apologised To Ex-Wife Jennifer Aniston Agency | New Delhi
Actor Brad Pitt, who is separated from his actress wife Angelina Jolie, apologised to his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston for “being an absentee husband,” stated a report in In Touch magazine. A source told In Touch: “He’s been determined to apologise for everything he put her through, and that’s exactly what he did. He apologised to Jen for being an absentee husband, for being stoned and bored much of the time. He also made amends for leaving her for Angelina.” Brad Pitt was married to F.R.I.E.N.D.S star Jennifer Aniston when he met Angeline Jolie on the sets of Mr And Mrs Smith. Brad and Angelina’s affair reportedly started while they were filming and the affair ended Brad and Jennifer’s five-year long
marriage. In September 2016, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, ending their 12-year-old relationship and two-year long marriage. After the reports of Brad and Angelina’s separation featured in headline, a source told US Weekly that Jennifer called the Brangelina divorce ‘karma.’ As per the In Touch report, Jennifer’s recent meeting with Brad Pitt was sort of amicable. “It was the most intimate conversation Brad and Jen have ever had. Jen was overcome with emotion. All the hurt feelings and resentment she’d suppressed for years came flooding to the surface, and she broke down in tears,” a source was quoted as saying.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s recent communication has “opened the door to a whole new era of good feeling between exes,” says a source

Bhumi Pednekar: In real life I love to dress up
Women organisations protest against Vijay Deverakonda-starrer; demand ban
Padmavati actor Ranveer Singh slapped 24 times, beats previous record Agency | New Delhi
Agency | New Delhi
Actress Bhumi Pednekar, who has been playing roles of a small town and middle-class girl in films like Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, says in real life she loves to dress up and that vanity comes with
the entertainment business. Bhumi has been caught up doing promotional activities for two of her films in the last few months. Asked if it was a tiring process for a creative mind to answer the same questions to the media regarding films or talking on the same topic extensively, Bhumi said.
History has repeated itself but too soon for Ranveer Singh. The actor was slapped 21 times for a sequence in his last silver screen outing Befikre and now the actor has been slapped 24 times for his upcoming period drama Padmavati. But the reason for Ranveer being hit hard in the face is no different. Then, Ranveer wanted the scene to look real and now, it was filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali who wanted the pitch-perfect scene for his magnum opus. Recently, Ranveer shared a news clip
Agency | New Delhi
from a Hindi newspaper whose headline read, “Ranveer Singh slapped 24 times by Raza Murad.” The article said veteran actor Raza Murad had to slap Ranveer for a scene in Padmavati but Sanjay Leela Bhansali was not happy with it, hence Raza had to give retakes and slap Ran-
veer over and over again until Sanjay got the perfect shot. To verify the report, the live wire of Bollywood himself shared the news and wrote, “True story! Padmavati. This is not the first time that Ranveer has gone over the board to deliver a praise-worthy performance.
Vijay Deverakonda’s Telugu romantic-drama Arjun Reddy received good reviews from critics and audiences, and has been performing well at the box office. However, not everyone is impressed by the content of the film; protests were staged in Vijayawada by representatives of AP Mahila Samakhya (APMS) and the AP Mahila Congress, as
well as other women’s organisations. The Hindureports that these protesters want the film to be banned because they claim it will mislead the youth, and that it goes against Telugu culture. ”The movie encourages drugs and such films will only cause harm to society,” said AP Mahila Congress president Padmasri Sunkara. Among the protesters concerns is also the portrayal of
‘dating culture’ in the film, which they opine will have a negative impact on college-going students. Reports state that the representatives of these organisations felt that the film’s makers “degraded women and portrayed them in a obscene way”. As a part of Arjun Reddy’s promotions, the makers released posters depicting Vijay kissing the female protagonist.

Following India’s ODI squad selection where Chairman of selectors, MSK Prasad, underlined fitness as one of the major parameters and the need to build a core keeping the 2019 World Cup in sight, a lot of attention has been diverted towards former skipper MS Dhoni. Whether he still is at the center of the team’s plans going forward remained a major bone of contention. The two-time World Cup winning captain quashed all doubts by guiding India through a tense run-chase in the second ODI, lending stability in the third and helping the team finish with a daunt-

Head coach Ravi Shastri rubbished all such discussion around Dhoni, stating ‘the old dog has plenty to offer.’ Speaking to the Press Trust of India on the back of a comprehensive win in Colombo, Shastri maintained that
the former skipper was still at the heart of India’s scheme of things building up the mega event to be staged in England in 2019. “MS Dhoni is a massive influence on the team. He is a living legend in the dressing room and an ornament to the game. By no means or by any stretch of imagination he is finished or even half finished yet,” said Shastri.

The Indian football team will be looking to continue their unbeaten run when they face Macau in a crucial AFC Asian Cup 2019 Qualifier on Tuesday. Sunil Chhetri’s men haven’t lost in their last ten games, and with victories over Myanmar and Kyrghyzstan, they will surely be confident of a good show against a side which is going through a five match winless streak. India are fresh from winning a three-nation tournament in Mumbai, where they defeated Mauritius and drew with St. Kitts & Nevis. The competition allowed coach Stephen Con-
stantine to test his bench strength, and the inclusion of six U-23 footballers in the squad is a good indication of how the coach feels about the youngsters. In the last two and a half years, 30 players have made their international debut under Constantine. Indian football great IM Vijayan compared his strategy to that of Germany coach Joachim Loew, who won the 2017 Confederations Cup with a second string
side. “Look at the last edition of the Confederations Cup and you will get your answer. Germany coach Joachim Loew preferred a team with an average age of 24 years and went on to win the tournament. Constantine is walking on the same path,” Vijayan told AIFF media. Another former footballer – Deepak Mondal – was all praise for the Indian defence which had not conceded for three matches prior to the tri-nation series.

Maria Sharapova hit back at Caroline Wozniacki over a US Open scheduling row on Friday, saying of her bitter Danish rival: “I’m in the 4th round. I don’t know where she is.” Wozniacki was furious that her second round match was played on an outside court while five-time major winner Sharapova was playing all of hers in Arthur Ashe Stadium. The Danish woman said it was “unacceptable and questionable”
for Sharapova, who is playing her first Grand Slam since the end of a drugs ban, to be given the showpiece court. “With regards to scheduling, as you know, I don’t make the schedule,” said Sharapova after reaching the fourth round with a 7-5, 6-2 win over Sofia Kenin of the United States. “I’m a pretty big competitor. If you put me out in the parking lot of Queens in New York City, I’m happy to play there. “That’s not what matters to me. All that matters
