Short News Eye on 2019? Akhilesh promises a city after Lord Vishnu to counter BJP’s Ram Temple pitch
Lucknow : Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday announced that a grand city named after Lord Vishnu would be developed, which would have a spectacular temple inspired by Cambodia’s sprawling Angkor Wat, in the state if his party comes to power. Significantly, Yadav’s comments come after BJP leader and UP Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya last week raked the Ram temple issue and suggested there could be a legislative route for the construction of a temple in Ayodhya. “We will develop a city in the name of Lord Vishnu over 2,000 acres of land near Lion Safari (Etawah). We have a lot of land in Chambal ravines and the city will have a grand Vishnu temple, that will be a copy of famous Angkor Wat temple,” Yadav, a former UP chief minister, said.
Discussed UN visit with CM Vijayan, have passed on recommendations, says Shashi Tharoor
New Delhi : Congress leader and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor Wednesday released a ‘public report’ of his visit to the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, following a controversy brewing with Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan saying he was not an emissary of the state government. Tharoor claimed he had a conversation with Vijayan before his departure to Geneva. In a statement issued, his office stated: “Dr Tharoor travelled in his individual capacity and at his own expense, as an MP from Kerala and as a former UN Under-Secretary-General, with 29 years experience in the organisation and an extensive network of contacts in the international humanitarian community. This reach was primarily due to a moral responsibility he felt as a Keralite to explore possibilities of international assistance and support to alleviate the sufferings of fellow Keralites, and place these recommendations before the state government for its consideration, and pursuance, if found necessary, with the central government.” Tharoor said he informed Vijayan on the “utility of these discussions, their nature and purpose and the specific areas of priority for the Chief Minister.”

Arvind Kejriwal charisma fast losing its sheen: BJP after Ashish Khetan quits AAP
New Delhi : Days after AAP leader Ashutosh quit the party, another member Ashish Khetan announced his decision to resign on Wednesday. Khetan, who had resigned from the Delhi Dialogue and Development Commission back in April, said he had decided upon quitting active politics earlier in the year but postponed his decision since AAP and the Delhi government was beset with a series of crises. “For the past two years, I have been plagued with self-doubt and the question of whether I wanted to continue in electoral politics. Early this year I made my decision to quit active politics after much deliberation and in consultation with family and close friends,” Khetan said in a Facebook post. Khetan sent his resignation to AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on August 15, the same day
Ashutosh had announced his departure from the party, PTI reported. However, both resignations are yet to be accepted by Kejriwal. Khetan, who is also a journalist like Ashutosh, said his focus
would now be on legal practice. “I have taken up legal causes in the larger public interest and will continue to do so. Besides practicing law, I am also keen to return to my writing,” he said. AAP sources claimed Khetan wanted to contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from the New Delhi parliamentary seat that he had lost to BJP’s Meenakshi Lekhi in 2014.

J&K tense on Eid: 2 cops shot dead by terrorists in Kulgam, Pulwama
Srinagar: Eid festivity in militancy-hit Kashmir was marred with violent incidents in which terrorists shot dead two policemen on Wednesday in two districts of the state, police said. The first incident took place when Fayaz Ahmad Shah, an under-training police constable, was shot when he was returning home after offering Eid prayers in Kulgam, one of the worst militancy-hit districts of South Kashmir. Shah, 34, was working with the Jammu and Kashmir Police as a Special Police Officer and had been given an out-of-turn promotion and selected as a constable. He was undergoing training at Talwara in Jammu region and had come home.
Terrorists pumped bullets at Shah from a close range near his house. He died on the spot. A pall of gloom descended on the policeman’s native Zazripora village when the news of his death broke out. The Eid festivities turned into mourning at Shah’s residence with his two minor daughters, aged five and two, unable to understand the sudden rush of people to
their residence and the frequent breakdown of their mother and an aged grandmother. The family was inconsolable when his body wrapped in tricolour was brought to their residence. A wreath-laying ceremony was held at district police lines Kulgam where officers led by Senior Superintendent of Police Harmeet Singh paid floral tributes to the police official.

and panchayats would be held from September onwards. Expressing anguish at Bhat’s killing, Shah said extremists would not be able to stop the valley’s youths from choosing a better future. Bhat’s sacrifice would not go in vain and the BJP stands firmly with his family, Shah said in a tweet. “Anguished to learn about the killing of BJP karyakarta, Shabir Ahmad Bhat by terrorists in Pulwama (J&K). This act of cowardice is highly condemnable. Extremists cannot stop the youth of Kashmir from choosing a better future for themselves. This cycle of violence won’t last long,” he said.

Kulbhushan Jadhav case: ICJ sets February 2019 for hearing
New Delhi : The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has set a week in February next year for the hearing of former Indian naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage. The world court will hear the case daily for a week in February, PTI said, quoting Geo TV reports. Jadhav, 47, was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of espionage and terrorism in April, following which India moved the ICJ in May. A 10-member bench of the ICJ on May 18, 2017 had restrained Pakistan from executing Jadhav till adjudication of the case. Pakistan claims its security forces arrested Jadhav, alias Hussein Mubarak Patel, from its restive Balochistan province after he reportedly entered from Iran. In its submission, Pakistan had stated that Jadhav is not an ordinary person as he had entered the country with the intent of spying and carrying out sabotage activities.

Gali Guleiyan is a complex film: Manoj
Don’t shoot the digital messenger
In the wake of an epidemic of fake news spread over WhatsApp, the government has now threatened action against the messaging app. It has directed WhatsApp to curb fake news by tracing the origin of ‘sinister’ messages, among other measures. This is tantamount to asking the mailman to look at the contents of mail and screen messages using an amorphous yardstick to ensure that no objectionable messages are delivered. Such sabre-rattling to badger messaging platforms to participate in combating malevolent content points to a grim trend—one of shooting the messenger rather than legislating to criminalize the generation of fake news. Messaging platforms typically offer end-to-end encryption to ensure that messages are sent securely and minimize the risk of interception. The messages are, therefore, transmitted from the sender to the receiver in an encrypted format, readable only after decryption at the receiving end. As the messaging platforms act as mere conduits for encrypted information, they deny themselves the ability to decrypt or intercept messages sent through their platforms by design. Following instances where network providers contested liability for third-party content hosted by them, the Information Technology Act, 2000, provided that “intermediaries” shall not be liable in situations where they acted only as a conduit for transmitting information, albeit including pernicious content. To qualify as an intermediary and avail of this safe harbour exemption under section 79 of the IT Act, a messaging platform must not be able to intercept, select or modify the data transmitted via a communication link made available or hosted by it. As messaging platforms currently don’t undertake such functions, they are able to avail of this provision and are exempt from liability for any third-party information or data they transmit. Directing messaging platforms to curb fake news by monitoring the messages on their platforms would not only rob them of their status as intermediaries, but simultaneously burden them with the liability of having to police their platform for content categorized as objectionable by an elastic yardstick dictated by the prevailing government’s sense of morality. Freedom of speech can only be curtailed to the extent of the limited circumstances set out in Article 19(2) of the Constitution, and that too by promulgation of a law that imposes “reasonable restrictions”. Given this, the directives issued to WhatsApp, which by design is intended to be a private messaging app, appear to be a case of both political posturing and regulatory overreach. It is the government’s prerogative to strengthen enforcement measures to penalize those generating and abetting the dissemination of fake news. It is, therefore, reprehensible that the executive issues directions while palming off its responsibility.

Ranveer Singh will next be seen in the Rohit Shetty directorial Simmba. The actor said that he consciously chooses roles where he can showcase his versatility.
Mumbai : Actor Manoj Bajpayee says Dipesh Jain’s Gali Guleiyan is the most complex film in the history of Indian cinema. “I haven’t watched such a difficult and complex film and the character which I am playing in this film in my entire life and in history of Indian cinema,” said Manoj while interacting with the media here. The Hindi psychological drama — also known as In The Shadows– has travelled to almost 20 international film festivals. Manoj features in a heart-wrenching portrayal of a man trapped within the walls and alleys of old Delhi and his own mind, and it is about how he attempts to break free to find a human connection. Talking about his role, he said, “I started preparation for this role one and a half months before the shooting of the film. I am playing an electrician in the film who lives in the lane called Guli Guleiyan in Chandni Chowk. He fixes cameras at people’s houses and he wants to see what is happening in their lives.” Manoj says his character is mentally disturbed. “He is a mentally disturbed person who listens to a voice of a child who cries continuously as his father beats him and my character wants to save that child. So, in the entire film, my character tries to find that child so that he can save him,” added the actor, who won the Best Actor Award at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) for his role in the film.

The masala film is something that attracted me to become an actor in the first place. Getting a chance to work with Rohit Shetty who is the king of masala movies is a huge deal for me. I find it very challenging. You have to perform so many things – there is comedy, action, drama- everything together…,”
he said. “This movie has a lot of all genres. The adrenaline is what I live for and hence shooting for this was a blast,” the actor said. The 33-year-old actor says he tried his best to get into the skin of the character but felt a bit nervous about working with Rohit. “It was a blast working with Rohit and the rest of the cast. I did feel a slight pressure to deliver but that was just me wanting to ace my first film as a masala hero with Rohit,” he says. For the actor, who still runs like a free spirit in

Asian Games 2018: Rahi Sarnobat becomes first Indian woman to shoot Asiad gold
Nottingham: Virat Kohli and co completed a dominant 203-run win in the final day of the third Test against England here on Wednesday, thereby making the five-Test series 2-1. Also read: 7 times when India beat England in Tests in England England resumed the day at 311-9, with James Anderson and Adil Rashid at the crease. Jasprit Bumrah had on Tuesday claimed his second five-wicket haul in Tests when he dismissed Stuart Broad for 20 runs. This was the visitors second Test win in Trent Bridge, with their previous win coming back in 2007. Kohli had played knocks of 97 runs
and 103 runs in the first and second innings respectively. While he had built a 159-run stand with Ajinkya Rahane in the first innings, his 113run partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara in the second innings was equally important. Jos Buttler (106 runs) and Ben Stokes (62 runs) fought hard, but the team fell way short of the target.In fact, Buttler had brought up his maiden Test century which in turn went in vain.England 317-10 after 104.5 overs IT’S DONE AND DUSTED! Ravichandran Ashwin’s carom ball does the trick as Ajinkya Rahane takes a comfortable catch at the slip to dismiss James Anderson for 11 runs.
Palembang: Rahi Sarnobat on Wednesday became the first Indian woman shooter to win an Asian Games gold medal as she triumphed after prevailing in a double shoot-off in the 25m pistol event here. The 27-year-old shot a games record score on her way to wining the yellow metal at the Jakabaring Shooting Range. The final went into shoot-off after Rahi and Naphaswan Yangpaiboon of
Thailand were tied on 34 points. Both Rahi and Yangpaiboon shot four out of five shots in the first shoot-off, and then in the second shoot-off the Indian prevailed over her opponent by missing one less.However, it turned out to be a disappointing outing for the fancied Manu Bhaker, as the 16-yearold finished sixth after entering the final with a qualification games record score of 593.
Nottingham : Virat Kohli’s passion is unmatched and his game sense can only be compared to the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, feels Indian team’s head coach Ravi Shastri. Kohli has so far scored 440 runs with two hundreds in three Tests as India made a comeback with a 203-run win in the Trent Bridge game. “He (Kohli) is very passionate about the game. He loves batting. He loves to do the hard yards. His work ethic is second to none and I have not seen any cricketer. I will put (Sachin) Tendulkar in that bracket when it comes to preparation, visualising situations, how he goes about planning, ability to stay in present — great qualities in any human being,”
Shastri told Mike Atherton during an interview for Sky Sports. Shastri said that despite two classic Test match innings 97 and 103 in Nottingham, Kohli will start with a clean slate in the next game. “I promise you that these two innings, he has forgotten. He will take guard as if he has not got runs in this series,” Shastri said. The former all-rounder reiterated that the current fast bowling unit is “best by a mile” in the history of Indian cricket. “Oh by a mile (if they are best group of fast bowlers) and (also in terms of) bench strength. If you look, the two potently best bowlers for English conditions would have been Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

first match against Kantaphon Wangcharoen of Thailand. But he has Keno Momota and Chen Long in his half, so it is not going to be a smooth ride for him.

Addressing a joint press conference, Congress leaders Jairam Ramesh and Shaktisinh Gohil alleged that the Gujarat Government’s July 3, 2018 notification was in violation of the last year order of the Supreme Court that “had shut the door to relief to these companies” which wanted to raise power tariff. “This is another example of crony capitalism and of the ‘suit-boot sarkar’. This is not just ‘suit-boot’ but is ‘suit-boot-loot’,” Ramesh said, accusing the BJP of pursuing crony capitalism. They said the move is in clear violation of the Supreme Court orders passed last year, in which the claim these companies was rejected by the court after deliberating for years. Giving details, Ramesh said in 2007 when Narendra Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat, four companies signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) for purchase of power at a fixed rate between Rs 2.4 to Rs 2.8 per unit.

A judge declared a mistrial Tuesday on 10 other counts the jury could not agree on.
