party’s win in Assam and growth in Kerala and West Bengal and had a word of caution for its leaders and workers. “We are witnessing history in the making. We are benefitting from the hardwork of crores of workers for over many decades in building the party. We are in power in the Centre and many states as well.

He is also scheduled to meet Kazakh President Nazarbayev on the issue. Significantly, Mr Modi called up Mr. Putin on

In a statement, the Kremlin said: “The discussion focused on practical issues of the two countries’ cooperation, including preparations for the top-level contacts to be held shortly.” While refusing to confirm whether “the practical issues” included India’s NSG membership, sources in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said Russia was always “very supportive” of India’s NSG aspirations.

Briefing reporters about Modi’s speech, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the Prime Minister also laid down seven mantras for party workers to follow in their conduct and policy. “Sevabhaav, Santulan, Sanyam, Samnway, Sakaratmak, Sadbhavana and Samvad (Service, balance, restraint, coordi-
nation, positivity, empathy and dialogue)… The Prime Minister stressed to the workers that all these seven traits should be reflected in their conduct and policy,” Jaitley said. He had earlier used the word “sadbhavna” (harmony) but later clarified that it was “samvedna” (empathy). “To sum up, the message from the National Executive is that when the party’s political power has grown, this power has to be used for the society,” Jaitley said.

2 / Dt. 14-06-2016, Tuesday Editors’ Picks tuesday, june 14, 2016 Why India is one of the most harrowing places in the world to be a passenger..?
Our government is obsessed with the daily threats to our lives posed by terrorists hiding in our midst. Consider the extent to which we are frisked, monitored by hidden cameras, and protected by a range of law enforcement agencies. It appears that these actions have achieved good results: At a per capita level, India has one of the lowest death rates due to terrorism in the world. To be precise, about 70 persons are reported to have died due to terrorist incidents in 2015, accounting for less than one per cent of the global toll of these deaths. I now hope our law enforcement agencies can turn their attention to a form of terror as random as a bomb in a train and even more mindless (terrorism, as perverse it may be, at least has some ideology backing it). And unimaginably more common. In 2014 alone, it killed more than 1.4 lakh Indians (according to 2015 data released by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, 400 people die daily in road mishaps), ten times the entire global toll of the number killed by terrorism. Everyone is at risk, but it is our youth who are most vulnerable. It is happening all around us, in full public view, and is on the rise. Of course, I refer to the terror on our roads. If there is one place where our country is in the throes of anarchy, defined by a total disregard for the law coupled with the utter capitulation of the law enforcement agencies, it is on our roads. I am amazed that I am often the only driver obeying a red light, especially when the traffic is thin, as if the lights cease to have meaning in these circumstances. I am astonished that the traffic lights simply stop operating when they are needed the most, that is late at night when half the drivers are either drunk or falling asleep. I am aghast to see truck drivers nonchalantly cruising the wrong way on a national highway. I am shocked to see a family of five on a scooter, including a babe in arms, and the father driving the scooter with just one hand, for the other is gainfully occupied holding his mobile phone to his ear. I am enraged to see drivers cut into lanes forcing cars in that lane to slam their brakes. The infamous Mercedes hit-and-run in New Delhi and the horrific bus crash on the Mumbai-Pune expressway in recent weeks are just two more numbing statistics in this national shame. Let us be honest: India is the most harrowing place in the world to be a pedestrian, driver or passenger. But what utterly depresses me is the abject abdication of the police to this carnage: Most often there is no police to be seen, and when they are, they are often otherwise occupied chatting with one another, tracking those who eat beef, reading a newspaper or they simply don’t give a damn.

Udta Punjab: Bombay HC to rule on censor board’s cuts to Kashyap’s film today
Agency | Mumbai The Bombay high court is on Monday expected to pass its order regarding the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)’s suggested cuts to Udta Punjab, a film centred around the drug problem in Punjab that has stoked both a political and artistic debate. Makers of the film, Phantom Films, had challenged some of the CBFC’s suggested cuts in the high court, which
included deleting references to Punjab, two graphically vulgar scenes and toning down an expletive-laden script. The CBFC had finally cleared the film on Sunday with 13 cuts under category ‘A’, board chairman Pahlaj Nihalani said, saying “its job is now over”. “It is now up to the producer to go to the court or tribunal. We will implement the order,” Nihalani said. The CBFC’s clearance came after the Bombay
high court came down heavily on the board, saying it was “overly critical” of the controversial drugthemed film. A bench of judges, SC Dharmadhikari and Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi, observed that Udta Punjab, prima facie, did not appear to glorify drug abuse, one of the main contentions of the censor board based on which it sought multiple cuts to the film co-produced by filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. “If the movie is glorifying use of drugs, then ban the entire movie,” the court said. Regarding deleting the references to Punjab, it noted that “the crux of the film will be lost”. However, at the same time, the court asked producers to delete a potentially offensive scene and tone down the use of expletives.
Women producers for the win! Priyanka Chopra debuts with Bhojpuri film Agency | Mumbai
Priyanka Chopra has been in the American news cycle for a lot of reasons lately – for pointing out who the xenophobes are in the US, for playing the villain in the soonto-be-released Baywatch and, of course, for being the protagonist of the thriller series Quantico produced by ABC. Now there’s finally something for us too. Turns out that Chopra has also just debuted as producer with a Bhjopuri film under her own banner Purple Pebble Pictures. The film Bam Bam Bol Raha Hai Kashi, starring Bhojpuri superstar Nirahua, was
released on 9 June. We are proud of Chopra because we know the old, old fact: female producers in the Indian film industry make up a measly 15 percent compared to the global average of 22 percent. A UN sponsored global study commis-
sioned by the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media states that despite 189 countries adopting the Beijing Platform for Action, “the international roadmap for equality,” 20 years later underrepresentation is still an issue in the film industry.
With the family court accepting their consent terms in April, Karisma Kapoor and Delhi-based industrialist Sunjay Kapur got officially divorced on Monday. The couple fought a long battle over divorce and custody of their two children, before they agreed to the consent terms before the Apex court. On Monday, the actor agreed to withdraw all cases filed against Kapur at the local police station. Sources said the custody rights and financial ex-
changes have also been agreed upon. Kapur’s advocate Sanjay Aman Hingorani said the family court has accepted the settlement. The couple had initially moved a mutual consent divorce petition before the court in 2014. Later, the consent was withdrawn after differences cropped up between the two. Kapur filed a fresh petition asking for judicial separation in December last year. Karisma had also filed a case of harassment against Kapur and his mother.
Filming of Baahubali 2’s climax portion begins in Hyderabad Agency | Hyderabad
Fans of Baahubali will be happy to hear this. The makers of Baahubali 2 on Monday began filming the climax portion of the film, which will be shot over a period of 10 weeks at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad.

Agency | Foxboro The Copa America Centenario erupted into controversy after a refereeing blunder sent Brazil crashing to a 1-0 defeat against Peru -- and out of the tournament. The defeat left Brazil struggling to digest their worst performance in the Copa America since 1987, the last occasion the five-time world champions failed to make it past the group stage.
Brazil, needing only a draw to qualify for the quarter-finals as winners of Group B, looked to be on course for a place in the last eight with 15 minutes to go against Peru. But a rare foray into Brazilian territory from Peru ended with Raul Ruidiaz bundling in Andy Polo’s cross from the byline, appearing to use his arm to score. Ruidiaz wheeled away to celebrate and
Uruguayan referee Andres Cunha signalled for the goal. Brazil’s players protested furiously, swarming around Cunha in a bid to persuade the official to reverse his decision. The protests appeared to have swayed Cunha, who looked to be frantically checking with the fourth official via his headpiece to determine whether the goal should stand. Yet after a chaotic delay of around four minutes -- with players from both sides surrounding the referee -- Cunha ruled the goal should stand. Multiple replays from different angles however showed that Ruidiaz had used his arm to knock the ball into the net past Brazil keeper Alisson.

South African Paralympic gold medallist Oscar Pistorius will be sentenced this week for the 2013 murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, ending years of legal twists and turns. Pistorius, 29, known as “Blade Runner” for the carbon-fibre prosthetic blades he used to race, faces a minimum 15-year jail sentence and cannot appeal after the country’s top court ruled in March that he had exhausted all his legal options. The track star, whose lower legs were amputated when he was a baby, initially received a five-year sentence for culpable homicide, South Africa’s equivalent of manslaughter. The conviction was later upgraded to murder after an appeal

Gulberg Society case: quantum of Hardik biopic may revive Dalit group set to move Gujarat HC against income cap for SCs/STs and OBCs punishment to be pronounced on June 17 quota stir: Intel agencies
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
With six films in Gujarati and on in Hindi on the Patidar quota movement almost ready for release, intelligence agencies in the state are on their toes to know whether the content of the movies is inflammatory and when exactly are the movies to be released. The Patidar agitation of reservations created a turmoil in the state last year after the massive rally held on August 25 in Ahmedabad by Hardik Patel, convener of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS). The movement apparently lost steam after Hardik was arrested for sedition in October last year. Among the Gujarati movies in the pipeline is ‘Power of Patidar’, a biopic of Hardik Patel. Sources in
the intelligence agencies said they sense some eagerness among the public for the movie’s release. To prevent another cycle of agitation, intelligenice sleuths have started keeping any eye on directors and producers involved in the movies. The agencies are also gathering information about the dates on which the movies will be released and about the regions of the state in which they will screened first. Besides ‘Power of Patidar’, the five other Gujarati films on the reservation stir are ‘Anamat’; ‘Patidar’; ‘Anamat ni Aag’; ‘Anamat ni Aandhi’; and ‘Salagto Sawal Anamat’. Observers of the Gujarati film industry said most of these films are nearly ready and likely to be released in the next three months.
