India calls off meeting with Pak, MEA says PM Khan’s ‘true face’ exposed
New Delhi: India on Friday called off a meeting between External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and her Pakistani counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi citing Friday’s terror activity in Jammu and Kashmir. Ministry of External Affairs’ Raveesh Kumar while announcing India’s decision said, “Since yesterday’s announcement of a meeting between foreign ministers of India and Pakistan, two deeply disturbing developments have taken place.” He added that “latest brutal killings of India’s security personnel by Pakistan entities and recent release of series of 20 postal stamps by Pakistan glorifying terrorists” were the reasons behind the decision. “It’s obvious that behind Pakistan’s proposal for talks to make a fresh beginning, evil agenda of Pakistan stands exposed and true face of new Prime Minister of Pakistan has been revealed
to world in his first few months in the office” The meeting was scheduled to take place in New York later this month on the sidelines of UN General Assembly session. India, however, had made it clear that it was not the resumption of the Indo-Pak dialogue.

No choice given, India suggested Reliance for Rafale deal: Hollande
New Delhi: Adding fuel to the ongoing Rafale controversy, former French President François Hollande in an interview to a media house said that Dassault Aviation was given no choice but to partner with Anil Ambani-led Reliance Defence for the offset clause in the Rafale fighter jet deal. In an article published by French journal Mediapart, Hollande on a question about who selected Reliance as a partner and why said it was the Indian government that proposed Reliance’s name and Dassault had no choice but to take the company given to it. “We did not have a say in that. The Indian government proposed this service group, and Dassault negotiated with Ambani. We did not have a
choice, we took the interlocutor we were given,” said Hollande. The interview was published in French and excerpts of Hollande’s interview were tweeted by French Newspaper LeMonde journalist Julien Boissou. Hollande’s reported statement contradicts Indian government’s claim that the agreement between Dassault and Reliance was a commercial pact between two private parties and the government had nothing to do with it. Responding to the interview, Defence Ministry spokesperson tweeted: “The report referring to former French President Mr. Hollande’s statement that GoI insisted upon a particular firm as offset partner for the Dassault Aviation in Rafale is being verified.
PM has betrayed India: Rahul on Hollande’s Rafale deal revelation
New Delhi: Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Friday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi following former French President Francois Hollande’s reported remarks on the Rafale deal, saying he has “betrayed” India. His attack on Modi came after a French media report quoted Hollande as purportedly saying that the Indian government proposed Reliance Defence as the partner for Dassault Aviation in the Rs 58,000 crore Rafale jet fighter deal. “The PM personally negotiated & changed the #Rafale deal behind closed doors. Thanks to François Hollande, we now know he personally delivered a deal worth billions of dollars to a bankrupt Anil Ambani,” Rahul
Gandhi tweeted. “The PM has betrayed India. He has dishonoured the blood of our soldiers,” he said. Modi had announced the procurement of a batch of 36 Rafale jets after holding talks with the then French President Hollande on April
Many J&K cops resign after terrorists kill 3, MHA says reports ‘untrue’
Srinagar: Soon after three policemen were abducted and killed in south Kashmir just days after Hizbul Mujahideen posted a video with a ‘resign or get killed’ threat, at least six cops have posted their resignation videos. Earlier on Friday, three Special Police Officers (SPOs) and a police constable were kidnapped from their houses in Shopian. Later, bullet-ridden bodies of three policemen were recovered from an orchard in Shopian. The killings triggered panic in the lower ranks of the police department and at least six cops issued video messages dissociating themselves from the police force, reports said. However, the Home Ministry
refuted the claims and said that no policeman has resigned in Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of the killing of three police personnel by terror group Hizbul Mujahideen. Also Read: Terrorists abduct, kill 3 J&K cops after ‘resign or get killed’ threat Reports have appeared in a section of media that some special police officers (SPOs) in Jammu and Kashmir have resigned, but the state police force has confirmed that these reports are “untrue and motivated”, the ministry said in a statement. “These reports are based on false propaganda by mischievous elements,” it said. “My name is Irshad Ahmad Baba and I was working as a constable in the police.

Implications of data mirroring
Data is the new oil and a driver of growth and change. Indeed, India is a supposed to become data rich before becoming economically rich. This digital growth is being pushed by large foreign digital companies. They are largely fuelled by the data of their users. And they are being welcomed by the establishment as is evident by the visits of the prime minister and Union information technology minister to Silicon Valley over the past few years as part of the Digital India campaign. Important sectors such as e-commerce, social media, digital entertainment, online communication, and information and communication technology (ICT) hardware in India are predominantly served by foreign companies, or domestic companies funded by foreign capital. Indian users today are accessing digital technology-driven services not only within India’s national boundaries, but also outside its jurisdiction. Consequently, these foreign service providers are free to process the personal data of millions of Indians within their own shores. The advancement of digital tools and technology in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), has enabled them to monitor and profile user behaviour, preferences and even daily routines, granting them the potential power to influence their decisions through targeted communications. Many experts have been ringing the alarm bells for the past few years, warning the government of digital colonialism by such companies. Data is now considered a strategic asset by many, and data driven network effects coupled with user feedback loops have given first mover advantage to the more developed western world. The data processed by these companies is not only used offshore to track and profile users, but is also fed as fuel into modern technologies like AI and the Internet of Things (IoT), which are touted to be the drivers of modern manufacturing, service delivery and governance. Perhaps that’s why it is Silicon Valley that is expected to lead the way in researching, implementing and controlling digital technologies, earning it the reputation of being the new Rome. Recognising the gravity of the issue, the Srikrishna committee in its draft data protection bill has rightly observed that the freedom to share personal data in the digital economy works selectively in the interests of certain countries that have been early movers. These countries can support a completely open digital economy without any detriment to their national interests by virtue of their technological advancement. It goes on to state that popular websites owned by foreign entities refuse to provide data to Indian law enforcement agencies in many instances.

All’s well with Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani
Mumbai : Rumour has it that actress Disha Patani and her alleged boyfriend Tiger Shroff are not getting along too well these days. But sources close to the couple dismiss reports of a rift as ‘spiteful’ and ‘motivated’. “We wonder where these rumours are coming from! Tiger is not a frivolous person.

Simona Halep feels Grand Slam triumph justifies number one ranking
Singapore : Simona Halep believes this year’s French Open victory has helped justify her position as the women’s world number one, with the Romanian saying she was now playing pressurefree tennis and motivated to add more Grand Slam titles to her resume. Speaking to a small gathering of reporters in a phone interview on Friday, the 26-year-old also earmarked US Open champion Naomi Osaka as a huge prospect for the future after the Japanese player made her major breakthrough in New York. “My dream was to become number one and I managed that last year and then my goal was to win a Grand Slam because some consider that a sign of being a true number one,” Halep, who has topped the
rankings for 46 weeks in total, explained. “So my motivation was to win a major after I reached the top of the rankings and now I feel relaxed after achieving both. I am still motivated to win every match and now the pressure feels off, I can just feel the pleasure of playing.” Halep knows all too well the pain of losing a Grand Slam final after suffering three failures in as many title matches before she rallied past American Sloane Stephens in Paris to prevail 3-6 6-4 6-1 on her favourite clay surface in June. The mental and physical exertion of that triumph seemed to take a toll on the base-liner midway through the season but Halep believes her form in North America indicated she was close to playing her best tennis.

Nitish Rana, who was unwell during the Saurashtra game, came back with a bang, hitting 12 boundaries and two huge sixes in the group B match.
Vijay Hazare Trophy: Nitish Rana smashes 91, Delhi beat Hyderabad by 6 wickets New Delhi : Left-handed batsman Nitish Rana smashed an unbeaten 91 off 87 balls as Delhi notched up their second successive win in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, beating Hyderabad by six wickets here Friday. Hyderabad were dismissed for 205 in 47.4 overs with left-arm spinner Manan Sharma taking four for 42. Due to a brief spell of showers, Delhi had a revised target of 176 in 39 overs but they surpassed it in only 30.4 overs. Rana, who was unwell during the Saurashtra game, came back with a bang, hitting 12 boundaries and two huge sixes in the group B match. Skipper Gautam Gambhir was once again solid at the top of the order, scoring 41 off 47 balls with six boundaries. However, it was Rana, who stole the show with his shots square of the wicket. A pulled six off Chama Milind behind square was a treat to watch. He was equally dominant against the spinners,
cutting anything wide with ferocity. Mohammed Siraj’s pace was also used to guide it behind the square. The match ended when Himmat Singh hit spinner Mehidy Hasan for a straight six. From Delhi’s point of view, the only disappointment was Unmukt Chand (0), who looked completely out of sorts as he was bowled off the second delivery by Ravi Kiran. Earlier, when Hyderabad batted, it
was the burly Manan, who choked the run flow in the middle overs by bowling flat and on the stumps, to return with four wickets. Opening bowlers Navdeep Saini (2/45 in 10 overs) and Simarjeet Singh (1/21 in 7 overs) also bowled tight lines during the first spell as Hyderabad could never force the pace. It was Siraj’s cameo (36 off 24 balls), with two sixes, that helped them cross 200.

The league asked the federation for authorization to play the match last week. The refusal by the federation was first reported by Spanish radio station COPE. If the match goes ahead, it would be the first Spanish league game played in another country, an innovation the league wants to implement to increase its global reach and help it compete with the richer Premier League in England. The Spanish players’ union and some fans have been critical of the plan to play competitive matches abroad.
After guiding India to their first series win in England since 1986, Dravid stood out amongst the Indian batsmen on the tour four years later in 2011. New Delhi : Rahul Dravid, the last captain to lead India to a series win in England, says the current side faced unusually tough conditions in the recently concluded five-match rubber and the batsmen must prepare better before embarking on the next English tour. “Lets just be honest first. The conditions in England were not easy for batting. I think batsmen of both teams struggled. If you take out Virat Kohli from the equation, it was not an easy series for the batsmen. I have played in England quite a bit, the conditions can be tough but it is rare to find five Test matches which had conditions as tough as the one they found,” Dravid said in response to a PTI query here on Friday. “As I said, we need to
look ahead. The next time we go there, we have to be better prepared for these kind of conditions and try and replicate conditions as best as we possibly we can. It was tough out there. Lets face it,” said the Indian batting great at the launch of Manipal Hospitals’ first branch in the national capital. After guiding India to their first series win in England since 1986, Dravid stood out amongst the Indian batsmen on the tour four years later in 2011, scoring three hundreds even though the side was handed a 0-4 hammering by the hosts. The most recent 1-4 series loss in England was India’s third in a row with batsmen letting the team down innings after innings.

wild swings in the market, with the BSE Sensex finally settling at 36,841.60, down 279.62 points or 0.75 per cent. “Nifty and Sensex were down due to widespread selling that was seen in the financial services sector as credit risk emerged post-ILFS firesale and concern over its interest repayment.

Yes Bank slapped with Rs 38 crore in GST fines for violating norms
Mumbai: Midsized private sector lender Yes Bank has paid Rs 38 crore in fines to the GST department for alleged violations in domestic remittances, officials said on Friday. A bank official, however, said the money has been paid “in protest” and the lender believes that it has not violated any norms. The bank, which saw Friday its stocks bleed as much as over 35 per cent intra-day and close with a loss of 29 per cent after news came out that the RBI has asked incumbent CEO Rana Kapoor to step aside by end of next January, has paid the fine earlier this week. Many peers have received similar demands and the “in protest” protest payment will be taken to its logical end, the officials
added. The issue relates to remittances by migrants from urban pockets to their homes in rural areas. The tax department feels the bank has violated norms and under-paid the tax, while the bank feels the opposite. Over Rs 32 crore has been paid to the GST department, while Rs 6 crore has been paid in service tax which has been replaced by GST from July 2017. The Yes Bank official claimed that there was no formal demand or even a showcause notice to the bank and the payment was made on the basis of the demand made during “bilateral meetings” with the tax authorities. A bank spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.

Education CAG slams Gujarat govt for deficiencies in implementing RTE In a report tabled in the Assembly, the CAG has revealed that 12.80 to 15.11 per cent of children in the age group of 6-14 years were not enrolled in any school in the state during 2012-17.
Gandhinagar : The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has expressed dissatisfaction over the implementation of the Right to Education Act (RTE) in Gujarat pointing out glaring deficiencies “indicating that the key objectives of the law for universalisation of elementary education could not be fully achieved due to various deficiencies” in Gujarat. In a report tabled in the Assembly, the CAG has revealed that 12.80 to 15.11 per cent of children in the age group of 6-14 years were not enrolled in any school in the state during 2012-17. But the state government could only
identify between 2.72 to 6.12 per cent of children as “out of school children” during the same five years. These deficiencies, the report said, include failure to provide basic facilities in schools
and setting admission targets without taking into consideration the availability of seats as per the RTE quota. “The state government could not provide basic infrastructure facilities
in majority of government schools even after seven years of implementation of the RTE Act,” the CAG report mentioned. The Government of India and the Gujarat government’s share of Rs 3635.57 crore (34 per cent) was short due to under utilisation of funds for implementation of the RTE Act, the report noted. The CAG also expressed dissatisfaction about the state government’s monitoring mechanism to ensure the proper implementation of the Act, also known as the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act of 2009.

Gujarat High Court stays Kutch DM’s order on livestock export ban from Tuna Rajkot : IN A MAJOR relief to livestock exporters, the Gujarat High Court has stayed the August 6 order of Kutch District Magistrate Remya Mohan prohibiting the movement of livestock at Tuna port after complaints of alleged violations of legal provisions and animal rights. A single judge bench of Justice Bela Trivedi issued an oral order on Tuesday staying the DM’s order till the pendency of a petition filed by Livestock Exporters Association (LEA), an unregistered body of livestock exporters of Gujarat. The court also observed that the opinion of a committee formed by the District Magistrate
regarding prohibiting exports of livestock from Tuna port lacked authority of law. “It appears that the committee constituted by the District Magistrate has submitted a report on 07.08.2018, whereby it has been opined inter alia that the violation of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act might have occurred. It has been
further stated that “no animals shall be allowed to be exported unless the necessary documents are provided and required arrangement for welfare of these animals are done by the exporters”. The later part of the direction given by the committee appears to be prima facie without any authority of law. Hence the implementation
of the impugned communication dated 6.08.2018 is stayed till the pendency of the present petition,” Justice Trivedi stated. The livestock exporters had brought 7,850 goats and sheep to Tuna port in Kutch in the first week of August this year for being exported to Dubai. However, the DM passed an order on August 6, ordering suspension of movement of livestock at Tuna port until further communication. The DM also formed a threemember committee, headed by sub-divisional magistrate of Anjar, to look into the alleged violation of the provisions of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

international Boy with dairy allergy died after classmate threw cheese down his T-shirt in UK school
New Delhi : A 13-year-old schoolboy who was allergic to dairy products died after a classmate allegedly chased him and threw cheese down his T-shirt, a local court in London heard on Wednesday. The boy, who was identified as Karanbir Cheema, also known as Karan, went into anaphylactic shock after the incident at William Perkin Church of England High School in Greenford on June 28, last year. Karan was allergic to various food items including dairy products and also suffered from atopic eczema, according to the UK’s Telegraph. His schoolmate, also a 13-yearold boy, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but has not been charged. Recounting the fateful incident in court, paramedic Kierin Oppatt, who took the stand as the first witness, said the 999 operator was told it was “just an allergic reaction” but when he arrived, Karan was ‘gasping for air’ and had developed swelling all over. The boy was unconscious and stopped breathing shortly before the paramedics arrived. Oppatt said, “The call came in at 11.40am.
Child refugee arrivals on Greek islands soar, camp conditions dire – UN
London : The number of refugee and migrant children arriving on Greek islands has soared, with more than 7,000 making the perilous voyage so far this year, a UN official said on Friday as he warned of dangerous and filthy conditions in overflowing camps. UN children’s agency UNICEF said children in the camps – many suffering severe psychological distress and at risk of violence – must be moved immediately to safer accommodation on the mainland. Earlier this week aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres warned that many teenagers in Moria camp on Lesbos island had attempted suicide or were harming themselves. Other children suffer from elective mutism, panic attacks and anxiety. More than 850 children arrived on Greek islands each month on average between January and August, up 32 percent on the same period last year, UNICEF said. It gave no specific reason for the rise, but said most came from conflict-affected areas. UNICEF representative Lucio Melandri, who visited Lesbos and Samos islands last week, predicted arrivals would rise in the coming months and warned services could collapse.
Theresa May’s Brexit plan goes pop after ‘humiliation’ by EU: British media
Kuala Lumpur : Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit proposals were declared dead by the British media on Friday after what they cast as a humiliation at the hands of European Union leaders at an informal summit in Salzburg. After a dinner of Wiener schnitzel in Salzburg, EU leaders said they will push for a Brexit deal next month but warned May that if she will not give ground on trade and the Irish border by November they are ready to cope with Britain crashing out. For the British media, the message was clear. “Your Brexit’s broken,” the Daily Mirror newspaper said on its front page. British newspapers led their front pages with a Reuters picture showing May, attired in a red jacket, standing apparently aloof and alone from a mass of suited male EU leaders. “May humiliated,” The Guardian newspaper said. “Humiliation for May,” said The Times on its front page. “May’s Salzburg hopes dashed as EU leaders reject Chequers deal,” said the Financial Times, which has strongly supported EU membership. The BBC said: “Embarrassing rebuff for PM in Salzburg.” The negative headlines indicate the extent of the divergence in perceptions between London and the capitals of the EU’s other 27 members on the future of Brexit. The Sun went much further: “EU Dirty Rats – Euro mobsters ambush May,” it said alongside a mocked up picture of French President Emmanuel Macron and European Council President Donald Tusk cast as American gangsters with guns.
