Despite BJP’s strategy, Sibal wins RS seat from U.P.
Out of 57 Rajya Sabha seats falling vacant, voting took place for only 27 seats : BJP wins 11, Congress settles for 6
The BJP’s strategy of supporting an independent candidate considered close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and thwart Congress candidate Kapil Sibal’s chances in the Rajya Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, failed to pay dividend as the former union minister secured a place to the Upper House on Saturday despite heavy cross-voting
across parties. The BJP’s official candidate Shiv Pratap Shukla, a former State minister, however, won with 36 votes. All seven of the candidates fielded by the ruling Samajwadi Party — Amar Singh, Beni Prasad Verma, Kuwar Reoti Raman Singh, Vishambhar Prasad Nishad, Sukhram Singh Yadav, Surendra Nagar and controversial builder Sanjay Seth-also made
it through. The Bahujan Samaj Party’s two candidates, Mayawati-aide and Brahmin face of the par-
eyes were on the contest between Mr. Sibal and Preeti Mahapatra, an independent whose entry into the fray on the last day of filing nominations had turned the straight-forward election into a contest with voting, opening doors for horse-trading and cross voting. With ty Satish Chandra Mishra just 29 MLAs, the Conand young zonal coordi- gress needed another five nator Ashok Siddharth also won. However, all
votes to secure Mr. Sibal’s chances on the basis of firs-preference votes. A Gujarat-origin entrepreneur-cum-social worker considered close to Mr. Modi, Ms. Mahapatra’s entry as the 12th candidate necessitated voting instead of unopposed election to the 11 seats. In her nomination, she had received the support of MLAs across party lines, led by the BJP, leading the Congress to accuse the BJP of turning the elections into a
“bazaar” with “open sale and purchase” of leaders. In the end, with 25 votes, Mr. Sibal made it through as Ms. Mahapatra bowed out with 18 votes. However, amid heavy cross voting, the Congress, which was banking on additional votes from the BSP, would also have to introspect that it received only 25 first preference votes in spite of the RLD, which did not field a candidate but committed four votes each to it and the SP.
rather one-sided affair. In Karun Nair and KL Rahul, India fielded two debutant openers for the first time since 1976. On what turned out to be a bit of a two-paced wicket, Nair’s indecisiveness cost him his wicket as his attempted pull was way off the mark. The ball travelled off the toe-end of the bat and was pouched by Sikandar Raza off Tendai Chatara. The wicket came early but turned out
to be the only one of the innings as Rayudu and Rahul built an impregnable stand. The low total gave the batsmen the opportunity to take their time and settle in before laying the platform for a successful chase. They looked a little out-of-sorts against the pace generated by Chatara and Taurai Muzarabani early on, but that was a brief phase that they successfully got over to march on.

The tide seems to turn in favour of Muslim women
It is an encouraging sign that 200 Muslim men, including the film personality Resul Pookutty, have lent support to the demand of 50,000 Muslim women that the triple talaq system of divorce be abolished. An organisation called Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA), a Muslim women’s advocacy group, had started the campaign against triple talaq, which the organisation said had no sanction in the Koran. The same organisation had earlier released a draft document for the codification of the Muslim Personal Law. Apart from triple talaq, the women want to end the practice of nikah halala, which says that couple divorced through triple talaq cannot remarry unless the woman concerned marries someone else and then gets divorced from her second husband. Hence the move is a positive sign because Muslim men and women have stepped into an area that was until now the preserve of only activists. That there is a climate of opinion building up against triple talaq is undeniable. In May the Lucknow regional bench of the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT) had decreed that the declaration of ‘oral triple talaq by ex parte proceedings should not be given force by the government machinery or the courts because it was ‘contrary to the Constitutional ethos’. Also, a former Muslim woman legislator, Bader Sayeed, has asked the Supreme Court to bar clerics from validating triple talaq. Ms Sayeed, who was also a senior legal officer of the Tamil Nadu government, wants the court to lay down guidelines till a law is framed asking Muslims to seek divorce through courts. Regardless of whether triple talaq has the sanction of Islamic theology or not, one thing that is certain is that this practice is heavily stacked against poor Muslim women. Reports have come to light that men have sought talaq in this manner on the phone. This is is degrading to a woman’s dignity and honour. A woman in Jaipur, Aafreen Rehman, has approached the Supreme Court against the triple talaq system after her husband divorced her in a letter sent by post. All this should be seen in the backdrop of the Shah Bano Case of 1985, when the then Chief Justice of India, YV Chandrachud, upheld the common civil code while awarding maintenance to a divorced Muslim woman. However, this gave rise to protests and eventually a new law reversed the award. But last year the Supreme Court had ruled that divorced Muslim women were entitled to seek maintenance from their ex-husbands under the Criminal Procedure Code.

Today, he is riding high on critical acclaim and box office success with his recent films but actor Akshay Kumar says there was a time when people used to call him “furniture” based on his performances. Earlier this year, the actor was praised for his role in Airlift as a businessman who carries out the evacuation of Indians based in Kuwait during an invasion crisis. The 48-year-old actor then acted in a comic role in the recently released Housefull 3. When asked
about how he strikes a balance between diverse roles, Akshay said, “I like the scripts, I just go ahead with it. Anybody can do it. When I came in the industry I was called furniture when I used to act. So if I can do it, anyone can do it.” The actor was speaking at the success party of Housefull 3. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Lisa Haydon and Nargis Fakhri. Airlift managed to cross the Rs 100 crore at the box office and Housefull 3 is also nearing the benchmark.

Istanbul to London on which a murder has been committed. Poirot tries to discover the murderer or murderers before there’s another victim. Director Sidney Lumet had made the first adaptation in 1974 for Paramount. Albert Finney starred in that version as Poirot, while actors Ingrid Bergman, Bacall and Sean Connery were among the passengers or the suspects. Branagh is producing the project alongside Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg and Mark Gordon. Aditya Sood and Michael Schaefer are executive producing the film, slated to release on November 22, 2017.
Priyanka’s relatives shocked at the church committee’s decision Agency | New Delhi
The relatives of late Mary Akhouri, the maternal grandmother of Bollywood actor Priyanka Chopra, are yet to come out of the shock from the denial of conducting the funeral of the 94-year-old at her home parish in Kumarakom near here. Some of the relatives had flown down from the US and the UK to attend the funeral. The old lady wished to be buried in the family vault of the St John’s Jacobite Syrian Church popularly known as Attamangalam
church. However, the managing committee of the church disallowed the fulfilment of her last wish. Finally, the body was buried in a public vault in St Thomas Jacobite church in Ponkunnam, a town 45 kilometres from Kumara-
kom, following the intervention of the Metropolitan of Kottayam Thomas Mor Timotheos. The relatives here solely blame the managing committee of the church for causing embarrassment and pain for the family.
Govt must think about film industry: Irrfan Khan on censorship
Agency | Mumbai
Looks like it’s raining biopics in Bollywood this season with the one on Sanjay Dutt to be the latest in line. But what made Madhuri Dixit Nene to call up once very close friend Sanjay Dutt after 25 years? The answer is, Rajkumar Hirani’s biopic on the life of B-Town’s very own Munnabhai! Confused? What would Madhuri have to do with Sanjay Dutt’s biopic? Well! For those who aren’t aware, Madhuri and Dutt were rumoured to be dating back then, well before Dutt was arrested in 1993.
However, she completely dissociated herself from Dutt after his arrest. As the case is with biopics, many controversial and never-before-heard truths come out in open, it is evident that the Aaja Nach Le actress became a bit uncomfortable on hearing about this one on Sanjay.
Madhuri was anxious to know whether there will be any references made to her in the biopic and hence called up the Saajan actor. Reportedly, her worries have been taken care of as the Khalnaayak actor has asked Hirani not to make any reference to her in the film.

Amid a raging row over the drug-themed crime thriller “Udta Punjab”, actor Irrfan Khan has slammed the system of censoring a movie, saying government needs to take some steps for betterment of the film industry. Many Bollywood personalities came out in support of “Udta Punjab” embroiled in a controversy with the Censor Board over various cuts suggested for the movie. “Our entire country has become Censor Board. If anything comes up, it becomes a huge issue. We should take it seriously, industry should come forward,” Irrfan told
reporters here. “Industry pays Rs 4,000 crore as tax per year, so there should be some gesture by government, they should give some’shaabashi’ (pat on the back)… We all must wake up. Government must think too. Mahesh Bhatt said a film he made 40 years ago is still stuck. We are sleeping,” he added. The Abhishek Chaubey-directed film is based around the drug-related problems prevalent in Punjab. Irrfan said many news outlets have documented the problem in Punjab but it became a big issue when a film, based on the same state, is about to release. “There are a lot of issues which
some steps for betterment of the film industry
don’t reach us. For so many years, some magazines were writing about one state and highlighting the severity of the crisis. After 10 years, a film is made based on the state and it becomes such a big issue.” “My problem is I don’t even know if it is Censor Board or certificate board. It is a certificate board, not Censor Board. These rules were made by `angrez’ (British) so one individual shouldn’t be blamed,” the national award winning actor added. The actor said there is a need to revamp rules as they were written keeping in mind the old times.

The AITA also announced Sania Mirza will partner Bopanna in the mixed doubles category, according to AITA chief Anil Khanna. In the women’s doubles, Sania Mirza and

Earlier, Rohan Bopanna, on the basis of his top-10 ranking, had named Saketh Myneni as his preferred partner for the men’s doubles competition for the upcoming Rio Olympics, ahead of veteran superstar Paes. Bopanna has agreed to play with Paes, despite his request of partnering Myneni being turned down. “The AITA Selection Committee has
now made its decision after due consideration of my representation and has selected the team for the Olympics. I respect this decision and look forward to participating in Rio,” he said. After winning a direct ticket to the Rio Games by virtue of his top 10 ATP ranking, Bopanna had made his preference to the All India Tennis Association on Friday, but the national selectors indicated that they might have a different choice. In a statement released to the media on Friday, Bopanna said: “A direct acceptance provides me the right to nominate my men’s doubles partner, an opportunity for me to exercise my judgement as to the best possible partner for me. I have, earlier today, communicated my decision to the AITA.”

Euro 2016: Patrice Evra Worried About France’s Weak Defence Agency | Paris
Agency | Illinois Lionel Messi scored a magical hat-trick in 19 minutes as Argentina cruised into the Copa America Centenario quarter-finals with a 5-0 rout of Panama on Friday. Messi had been forced to delay his debut in the tournament after a slow recovery from a lower back injury, with
Argentina coach Gerardo Martino surprisingly naming him amongst the substitutes once more. But Messi wasted no time in stamping his genius on the tournament after coming on in the 61st minute to replace Augusto Fernandez with Argentina leading the Group D game 1-0. An electrifying cameo from the Barcelona superstar began with
his first goal of the tournament on 68 minutes, finishing with aplomb after Gonzalo Higuain`s shot bounced off a Panamanian defender into his path. But there was no question of luck with his second, with Messi curling a wonderful freekick into the top corner to bring the Soldier Field crowd to its feet in the 78th minute.
AIBA hopes Vikas Krishan’s route to Rio 2016 Olympics will inspire others By fighting APB contest, Vikas Krishan would earn right to compete in 2016 APB and WSB Olympic Qualifier in Vargas Agency | New Delhi
In 2015 when AIBA issued its list of qualification guidelines for the 2016 Summer Olympics, the Indian boxing fraternity was dismayed. The world body issued a total of 63 quota spots for APB (AIBA Professional Boxing) and WSB (World Series of Boxing) boxers. This meant that Indians, mostly amateurs, had far fewer opportunities to earn Olympic quotas.
It’s not a case of whether France’s defense will get found out later on in the European Championship against better sides. It’s already an open secret. The difference is that better sides will ruthlessly punish France’s nervous, creaking back four the way Romania could not in a 2-1 defeat in their Euro 2016 opener on Friday night. While Dimitri Payet’s wonderful late goal will rightly grab the headlines, the night could have turned out badly — because France should have fallen behind in the fourth minute, after a calamitous mix up by a fledgling
I tell players in Madrid not to headbutt: Zinedine Zidane Agency | Mumbai
Indeed as of Saturday, only one Indian – bantamweight Shiva Thapa – had booked a place in the Rio Olympics. For Vikas Krishan, one of only three Indians to have won a medal at the World Championships, however, is making the most of the alternate offered by the APB even as the strictly amateur path seems to be getting tougher. On Saturday, the Asian Games gold medalist, who previ-
ously failed to qualify at the 2015 World Championships and subsequently the Asia-Oceania qualifiers, will be competing in his second APB contest and the first one of its kind in India. By fighting Kenya’s Nickson Abaka in the six round contest, Krishan would have done the minimum required to earn the right to compete in the 2016 APB and WSB Olympic Qualifier in Vargas, Colombia.
Despite seeing him mostly in football jerseys and Armani suits, it’s still easy to spot Zinedine Zidane, who tried his best to look Indian by wearing a grey Nehru suit and greeted everyone with ‘namastes’ here on Friday. You can take Zidane out of football but you can’t take football out of Zidane. In the city to promote Kanakia, a construction brand, the French legend and current Real Madrid coach, who recently guided Real Madrid to Champions League title, will soon return to what he loves most.

The case is about the kidnapping of Rajkot jeweller Bhaskar Parekh and his friend Paresh Shah on November 11, 2000 “Pandey is holding only additional charge and has not been regularly promoted to the post of DGP (main).” Pandey was given the additional charge after his predecessor P C Thakur was transferred to Delhi on Central deputation. The affidavit has been filed in response to the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) by former Gujarat DGP Julio Ri-
beiro which challenged the government’s decision on the ground that “an accused committed for trial in a case of abduction and premeditated murder” should not have been given the top job even for part time. Pandey is accused of killing Ishrat Jahan, her friend Pranesh Pillai alias Javed Shaikh and two Pakistani nationals.

A cadet, who was attending to his colleagues at the hospital, said that the state government has a policy of engaging private food contractors at the training camp, due to which the higher authorities are not letting staff cook their own food.
