(H.S.) | Islamabad No Indian TV channel can be viewed in the country after October 15, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has said, a media report said on Saturday. According to The Nation, Pakistani people have demanded action be taken against “all Indian channels”. The step comes as tensions rise between the two neighbouring nations after India said that it conducted surgical strikes across the Line of
Control at terror launch pads in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. According to the reports, the crackdown will be held against all cable operators in the country in case the orders are not followed. It also alleged that Pakistani programmes have been banned in India and Indian artistes have given negative messages against Islamabad which resulted in provoking the public to demand the closure of Indian channels. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena has now demanded replacement of the Pakistani actors Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan in their respective Bollywood projects Raees and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

At least four persons were killed and 29 others injured when a tractor trolley they were travelling on was hit by a speeding truck near Ladvel village in Kathlal taluka of Kheda district, police said today.

“Four persons died on the spot while 29 were injured at Ladvel chowkdi around 10 pm last night. The injured were taken to different government hospitals,” Kathlal police sub inspector A G Rathod said. The deceased were identified as Bharat Khant, Vikram Khant, Deepak Khant and Vijay Khant.

It remains to be seen whether the Supreme Court will roll back this decision on the match fees, considering the Lodha Committee had asked the BCCI to put on hold any decision concerning 2016-17 till the recommendations on restructuring the board were in place.

Surgical strikes: Advantage BJP, but avoid chest thumping
Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government is unanimously convinced that the surgical strikes conducted by the Indian Army across the LoC, has been highly successful and will eventually turn a lot of votes in their favour in upcoming assembly elections. Although the party has asked its leaders to avoid chest thumping since there is no surety over the reaction of the attack from the other side of the border. According to a report in The Indian Express, the reaction from the ‘other side and sleeper cells’ can be unexpected, hence till the matter cools down a little the BJP has asked its leaders to not draw political mileage from the operation. A senior BJP leader was quoted by IE as saying, “These are still early days and some reaction can happen from the other side and sleeper cells of various Pakistan-sponsored terrorist organisations. That is why we have asked leaders not to make a big issue of the highly-successful strikes.” During a meeting with spokespersons of BJP, party chief Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley asked them to carefully respond and make statements during media debates. Another party leader was quoted as saying,”The leaders have been told that no chest thumping is allowed. They were told that the Prime Minister was very clear about it because we are not sure how the reaction from the other side is going to be.” When it comes to votes and elections, the leader was convinced that BJP will benefit largely because of the strikes. He told IE, “Most definitely. Everybody knows now what a strong leader can do. We will certainly talk about these strikes and PM Modi’s leadership at election rallies in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Goa. But, for the moment, we will wait and watch.” He added, “As of now, we have to deal it as a national issue. How much we can translate it into votes can be seen later. We will have benefits. Why should we deny it.” BJP spokespersons though maintained the stance that the surgical strikes were strictly meant for ‘national security’ and the party does not want to link it with political mileage or assembly elections. With BJP going for highly anticipated elections in UP, Punjab and Uttarakhand elections it is expected that the party will use the strikes as an issue. A party leader was quoted as asking, “People expected Modi to do so. Otherwise, what does 56-inch chest mean?” Following the strikes, both PM Narendra Modi and BJP Chief Amit Shah have refrained from making statements to the media. India’s surgical attacks across the Line of Control will refurbish the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He will be seen to possess a dare lacking in his predecessors, of walking the talk that emphasised a tit-for-tat policy against Pakistan. Through the surgical attacks, Modi has deprived his political rivals of an issue – Pakistan policy – on which they had increasingly become critical of him. In both Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, where campaigns for Assembly elections are already afoot, principal political players have been mocking Modi for failing to usher in acche din, not punishing Pakistan for Pathankot, and for mishandling Kashmir. The Bharatiya Janata Party has now degraded the ammunition marked Pakistan policy and Kashmir. Even during periods of calm, political parties have seldom made Kashmir a poll issue, the only exception being the BJP.

QUOTE “Pakistan shouldn’t take India’s silence as weakness, OF THE Pakistan didn’t probe the matter as it is still in shock after the surgical strikes.” - In the wake of India’s surgical strikes along the Line of Control DAY (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Saturday said... Deepika Padukone to play lead in Why do we need Pakistani artistes in our Khan this big budget Tamil period film? films, Raj Thackeray asks Salman Raj said “Are we short
(H.S.) | Bengaluru The latest buzz is that Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, who is currently busy with her Hollywood debut project, may be next seen in a Tamil film. Ace filmmaker Sundar C’s next directorial venture, Sangamithra, has already been making a lot of noise in the Kollywood. The mega-budget multilingual movie will have a big star cast consisting of A-listers from Tamil and Telugu industries. Now the speculations are rife that the director has offered the female lead role
to Deepika . The Bollywood actress was last seen in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s super hit movie Bajirao Mastani. This year she had no releases as she remained invested in her Hollywood debut film, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, in which she will share screen space with Vin Diesel. The film is expected to hit the screens in January. Sundar recently said he will make the big announcement about his upcoming magnum opus very soon, adding that the film will have a “very big and fantastic star cast.”
If the rumors come true, it will mark Deepika’s comeback in Kollywood after 2014’s Kochadaiiyaan, which had superstar Rajinikanth in the lead. The Bengaluru lass, Deepika, made her acting debut with Kannada film Aishwarya in 2006, after which she was roped in to play the lead role in actor Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om and the rest is history. Sangamithra, meanwhile, will be the costliest film ever made in India, which is even expected to surpass the budget of films like Enthiran 2.0 and Baahubali. Sundar’s ambitious project will be bankrolled by Sri Thenandal Films. The filmmakers have roped in Oscar-winning composer A R Rahaman for music, Sabu Cyril for art direction, while Baahubali and Eega fame Kamalakannan will supervise the film’s special effects.
(H.S.) | New Delhi The entire issue of banning Pakistani artistes in Bollywood is heating up by the day. Despite all the Pakistani actors who were targetted by the MNS, returning to their home country, the trouble still seems to linger. A day after Salman Khan said that actors aren’t terrorists, hence such a move was uncalled for, the Shiv Sena was quick to slam the actor.Now, even MNS chief Raj Thackeray has issued a statement, questioning Salman’s support to the artistes from across the border. He has asked
Salman if he thinks there was a dearth of good talent in India. Salman Khan had on Friday said “They are artists, not terrorists. It’s the government who gives them work permits and visas. Art and terrorism should not be mixed.” Giving a backlash, the Shiv Sena on Saturday said that Salman too should migrate to Pakistan if he likes the Pakistani actors so much. Now, MNS chief Raj Thackeray, at a press conference, spoke at length about the matter. Taking the war of words to a level higher,
of artists in our country? Why do we need Pakistani artistes to work in our films? I don’t understand. Jawans are fighting for us at borders.What’ll happen if they decide to put down their weapons? Who’ll guard borders? Salman Khan? These artistes should realise ‘Nation first’. If they have so much problem, we will ban their movies too”. Salman Khan’s statement came a day after the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) passed a unanimous resolution at its annual general meeting, to “henceforth, not to work with any artists, singers or technicians from Pakistan until the situation of hostilities between Pakistan and India subsides and the Government of India declares that all is well with Pakistan and India.”
and actors Rana Daggubati and Prabhas held a press-meet in Hyderabad to reveal everything that was in store for the audience even before the next part. No, It was not about answering the big question — Why did Kattappa killed Baahubali? “In the world of Baahubali, it is not just about the movie. The movie is just a branch of a huge tree. There will be animated series, comic books, games and
Baahubali virtual reality experience. You can get 360 degrees photos and making videos from the shoot directly on your phone too. On October 5, all Prabhas fans will have great surprise, some good news,” said Rajamouli. To understand a timeline of the events, the first will be the teaser of the Baahubali animated series on October 1 which will be showed on “Amazon Prime”.

not any other city, Sunny shares, “The role of the lead actress in the film is based in Delhi. Hence I decided to cast someone from Delhi itself. This way, the girl will be much more familiar with the character she is playing. She will also be able to add her own unique touch to her role. Stating that his priority is a “Delhi girl” and that’s why they have this mega talent
hunt, the 58-year-old actor adds, “I trust the talent in Delhi and am sure will get Karan’s “Leading Lady” with the help of this campaign.” Besides the fact that the girl has to be from Delhi, she is to be aged between 16-20 years and should have finished her schooling. “I believe the youngsters are very enthusiastic and high spirited nowadays and that’s exactly what I am looking for! My team and I, are extremely excited for this one,” says the action hero. Tight-lipped on divulging details about the film, which is tentatively titled, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, he quips, “It’s too early to talk about the film, but the genre of the film is romantic.”

everyday harassment and prejudice faced by them in the Indian society. The women have lauded the film and said the film portrays the basic but most pertinent thing that, “a no means NO”. The realistic problems portrayed in the film has touched the heart of the audience and one such woman decided to write a letter to Taapsee Pannu, who played one of the female leads in the film. A Twitter user by the name Shristhi Mitra, wrote a open letter to Pannu to thank her and acknowledge her step for initiating something powerful that could enable some changes in the society.

Homeopathic teething tablets, gels harmful for kids: US FDA
(H.S.) | Mumbai BCCI president Anurag Thakur will make an unprecedented request to the ICC asking them not to place India and Pakistan in the same group at the Champions Trophy in seven months’ time, so as to avoid the two teams from clashing. Though bilateral series have stopped since 2012, the two teams have routinely played each other in multi-nation tournaments like World Cups. But with bilateral political relations deteriorating and government trying to isolate Pakistan, BCCI today decided that India
will avoid playing Pakistan even in multi-nation tournaments when taking their request to ICC. The issue was discussed on the sidelines of the Special General Meeting here against the backdrop of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in the wake of Uri terror attack and the subsequent cross-LoC “surgical strikes” carried out by the Indian army. Anurag Thakur is an MP of the ruling BJP and said it was “in view of the public sentiment in the country.” “I will be suggesting to the ICC that looking at the current situation between both countries it
is not advisable to have India and Pakistan in one group of Champions Trophy as there could be situation like we had in India during India vs Pakistan T20 World game in Dharamshala where we had to shift the game at the last moment,” he said. He added, “There could be security issues. So in order the organisers don’t face problems which we did during T20 World Cup, I will be suggesting to the ICC in our next meeting in October in South Africa that it will be better if we don’t have two teams in the same group.” Many members of the BCCI had told Thakur this, he said, on the sidelines of the board’s meeting adding, “The matter is of concern. We felt that it will be better if we inform ICC nine months in advance so that ICC should not face any kind of problem in future. I will be writing a letter also to ICC on this soon.”

Homeopathic teething tablets and gels are sold in retail stores and online in the US. Consumers should seek medical care immediately if their child experiences seizures, difficulty breathing, lethargy, excessive sleepiness, muscle weakness, skin flushing, constipation, difficulty urinating or agitation after using homeopathic teething tablets or gels. “Teething can be managed without prescription or over-the-counter remedies,” said Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA’s Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research. “We recommend parents and caregivers not give homeopathic teething tablets and gels to children and seek advice from their health care professional for safe alternatives,” said Woodcock.
Don’t Miss The Final Image That Rosetta Captured
Agency | Washington A new image of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was taken by the European Space Agencys (ESA) Rosetta spacecraft shortly before ending its remarkable 12-year journey with crash-landing on the comets surface on Friday. The final descent gave Rosetta the opportunity to study the comet’s gas, dust and plasma environment very close to its surface, as well as take very high-resolution images, NASA said. The final image was taken from an altitude of 20 metres above the comet’s surface by the spacecraft’s OSIRIS wide-angle camera on Friday. Comets are time capsules containing primitive material left over from the epoch when the sun and its planets formed. Rosetta is the first spacecraft to witness at close proximity how a comet changes as it is subjected to the increasing intensity of the sun’s radiation. Observations will help scientists learn more about the origin and evolution of our solar system and the role comets may have played in the formation of planets.

(H.S.) | Nagpur The Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) has adopted a resolution to consider and approve its proposed new constitution as per the recommendations of the Lodha Committee. The VCA, at its Special General Body meeting in Nagpur on Saturday evening to consider and approve the proposed new constitution of the VCA as per the recommendations of Lodha Committee appointed
by the Supreme Court, unanimously adopted the resolution. Chaired by its president Prakash Dixit, VCA in the meeting took up the Article 5 of the amended constitution. As per the recommendations of the Lodha Committee, those who have attained the age of 70 years will be ineligible to hold any post in the association. A Minister or a government servant will be also ineligible to hold any post in the association.
The Supreme Court, in July, had directed BCCI and the state cricket associations to implement all the recommendations of the committee within six months. Some of the members raised an issue as to why VCA is amending the constitution when neither the BCCI nor the other state Associations are amending their constitution. After a detailed discussions on the issue, it was unanimously decided that the “recommendations, now having been approved by the Supreme Court, the same are binding on us and whether right or wrong, whether we agree or disagree, we have to respect the decision of the Supreme Court and implement the recommendations.”

In fact, Ronchi’s innings almost ended at 16 but he was dropped at point by substitute Gautam Gambhir who seemed slow to react and let down a regulation catch. Suddenly a thick cloud covered the Eden sky and a passing shower meant that the match had to be stopped for an early tea break. Earlier, youngster Nicholls who replaced
skipper Kane Williamson in the side dragged a widish delivery onto his stumps in a replay of Shikhar Dhawan’s dismissal as India kept taking regular breakthroughs. In reply to India’s 316, New Zealand lost Tom Latham (1) and Martin Guptill (13) in successive overs with Shami and Bhuvneshwar taking the wickets. Shami struck in his first over to dismiss Latham for LBW, while Guptill continued with his woeful run to be bowled by Kumar when the ball hit his elbow before crashing on to the stumps.

time of 1 minute, 32.850 seconds. While Hamilton has been unconvincing in race starts this season, his impressive performance Saturday should provide a timely confidence boost after Rosberg’s hat-trick of race victories in the preceding races. “Today the car felt fantastic, I really enjoyed the lap,” Hamilton said. “It could have been faster. I don’t feel anything is going to stop us (in the race). As a team we have great pace and if you look at the last race, we had pretty good starts and we continuously work on that.

Vidarbha Cricket Association adopts resolution to approve Lodha recommendations
Indian seam duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami rattled the New Zealand top-order to leave them at a spot of bother at 85-4 when tea was taken early due to rain on day 2 of the second cricket Test here on Saturday. In reply to India’s first innings total of 316, New Zealand were still trailing by 231 runs when rain stopped play with 40 minutes to go for the scheduled tea break. New Zealand stand-in skipper Ross Taylor (30) was at the crease after in-form Luke Ronchi just departed for 35 being adjudged lbw to Jadeja to a dubious decision. Reduced to 23-3 shortly after lunch break when Kumar (2/20) castled Henry Nicholls, Taylor and Ronchi (35) put in their best effort to build a partnership but it did not last long with Jadeja cutting it short for 62 runs. Ronchi was trapped on

Congress hopes of winning the next UP poll : Strategic strikes damage another target The Congress strategy of highlighting BJP government’s failures is unlikely to have much appeal now.
The Congress should probably say good-bye to Uttar Pradesh. All the hard work put in by party vicepresident Rahul Gandhi – he is currently on a kisan yatra in the poll-bound state – is unlikely to bear any fruit as the political narrative is all set to change after the surgical strikes undertaken by the Indian army across the Line of Control. The Bharatiya Janata Party will obviously pull out all stops to keep this issue alive even though the assembly polls are still six months away. The decision to go public with details about Wednesday night’s strikes on terror camps in Pakistan was taken precisely with an eye on the Uttar Pradesh elections. The BJP’s surcharged cadres will now be effectively deployed for a Hindutva consolidation by highlighting how Prime Minister Narendra Modi had proved to be a strong and decisive leader unlike his predecessors. These fresh developments have hit the Congress campaign, which was focussed on the unfair deal given to farmers by the Modi government, the Centre’s failure to deliver on its electoral promises and the hate agenda of the BJP’s ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. But these issues are unlikely to resonate with the electorate in Uttar Pradesh now. Having supported the Modi government on its decision to go in for
surgical strikes across the LOC, the Congress can hardly criticise the government now or taunt it for its weakness. The Congress party’s poll strategist, Prashant Kishor, will have to necessarily redesign his campaign in the light of the new issues that are expected to dominate the political discourse as electioneering picks up in the coming days. Struggling for credibility:Even before the change in the poll scenario, the Congress was struggling to establish itself as a credible contender in the crucial election, although the party has put its best foot forward so far. The party is seeking to cash in on the Manmohan Singh government’s decision to waive off farmers’ loans to establish its credibility with the farmers in Uttar Pradesh who are being promised a similar waiver. The perenniallyfaction-ridden party has also managed to put up a united face by involving all its senior leaders in the ongoing campaign. In an unprecedented step, the Congress has projected Sheila Dikshit as its chief ministerial candidate with an eye on the Brahmin vote. Ever since they embarked on its campaign, Congress strategists have continually maintained that the party has created a buzz in the state and has become a conversation
piece. Though crowds have been flocking to the yatras being undertaken by Rahul Gandhi and other party leaders, the harsh reality is that they have not left any lasting impression on the electorate. Reduced to a fourth position in the state where it has been out of power for 27 years, the Congress is still not seen to be in contention in the forthcoming polls. “There is no doubt that the yatras have been received very well but the question is whether we can convert this into votes… that appears highly unlikely,” remarked a senior Congress office bearer. In a state where caste plays a dominant role in elections, the Congress has lost its traditional support base to regional political parties in the post-Mandal era. While the scheduled castes shifted their allegiance to the Bahujan Samaj Party, the party lost the minority vote to the Samajwadi Party after the demolition of the Babri Masjid and the Brahmins gravitated to the BJP when the Ram Mandir issue took centre-stage. Caste calculations:- The Congress made strong pitch for the upper castes in this election following its internal assessment that they are disillusioned with the BJP, which has taken their support for granted and is now wooing the non-Yadav
Other Backward Classes. Congress leaders believed that if the Brahmin community placed its trust in their party, it would serve as a base vote that would help in wooing the Muslims who are said to be disenchanted with the Akhilesh Yadav government after the Muzaffarnagar riots. The party’s calculations could well go for a toss now. The upper castes have been suitably placated after government’s move to crack down on Pakistan and are unlikely to abandon the BJP now. As far as they are concerned, Modi has redeemed himself with this bold and decisive move. If the BJP is seen to be surging ahead, the Muslims could continue their allegiance with the Samajwadi Party or even shift to the Bahujan Samaj Party, depending on which party is best placed to defeat the saffron party. While the caste dynamics are clearly not in favour of the Congress, it is further handicapped as the party organisation in Uttar Pradesh has weakened considerably over the years as its grassroots workers have virtually disappeared. As a result, the party has been unable to build strong and effective local leaders or attract young voters even though Rahul Gandhi has made a conscious effort to woo them with his periodic visits to universities and colleges. The party has also failed to tap into the people’s anger against the Samajwadi Party government by focusing more sharply on its deficiencies.
