All India-Pakistan issues bilateral, don’t want to give pain to any third country: PM Modi tells Trump "All issues between India and Pakistan bilateral. Don't want to give pain to any third country. We can discuss and resolve all issues bilaterally," PM Modi told Trump on the sidelines of the G-7 Summit in the French town of Biarritz. AG. GNS_New Delhi :In their first meeting after the government scrapped special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 leading to tensions with Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told US President Donald Trump that all issues between India and Pakistan were bilateral and there was no scope for any third-party mediation. “All issues between India and Pakistan bilateral. Don’t want to give pain to any third country. We can discuss and resolve all issues bilaterally,” PM Modi told Trump on the sidelines of the G-7 Summit in the French town of Biarritz. c PM Modi’s remarks come after Trump — thrice in the space of a month — had said he would do his best to “mediate” on the Kashmir issue. However, the US has nuanced its position in the past week, calling the issue of Jammu and Kashmir an “internal matter” of India — something that New
Delhi has always insisted on. “India and Pakistan were together before 1947 and I am confident that we can discuss our problems and solve them together. India and Pakistan should work together for the welfare of people of our two nations,” PM Modi told reporters. peaking to reporters following their meeting,

reports of detentions in Kashmir, and urged respect for individual rights and discussions with those in affected communities. Taking a different tone from his previous offers to serve as a mediator, Trump said, “They speak with Pakistan and I am sure that they will be able to do something that will be very good.” On August 2, hours after Trump said he would “certainly intervene” on the Kashmir issue if New Delhi and Islamabad wanted him to, India had rejected the suggestion. Significantly, Trump did not reiterate a previous claim that Modi had asked him to intervene, in what was perceived as back-pedalling from his claim last month. Recently, in a telephonic conversation with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, Trump asked him to tone down the rhetoric against India and avoid escalating tensions over the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.

BJP MP Pragya Thakur says Opposition is using ‘marak shakti This is not the first time that BJP MP Pragya Thakur has created a controversy with her statement. She had earlier said that Mumbai ATS chief Hemant Karkare, killed during 26/11 attack, did because of her curse. SS News New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party MP Sadhvi Pragya Thakur on Monday stirred another
controversy suggesting that opposition was resorting to black magic against the ruling party leaders. The
Bhopal lawmaker alleged that the Opposition is using a ‘marak shakti’ (killing
power) to harm BJP leaders, adding the ‘evil power’ was behind the recent deaths of former Union ministers Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj. BJP veteran Arun Jaitley died on August 24 and Swaraj on August 6.“While I was contesting (Lok Sabha) elections, a Maharaj ji told
me that bad times are upon us and Opposition is up to something using some ‘marak shakti’ against BJP. I later forgot what he said but now when I see our top leaders leaving us one by one, I am forced to think, wasn’t Maharaj ji right?” the BJP MP said.

A shishya’s tribute to Arun Jaitley Ever since Saturday noon, when I got the phone call which despite his prolonged and brave battle with illness, I didn’t think I’d ever get I’ve been reflecting on what Arun ji and I had in common. No amount of introspection has led me to any answers. Yet, if mentorship is the hallmark of a political career, I’ve had the best. Did I have a role in the selection of the mentor? None at all, and that is where the role of Providence is. I come from the country’s south, sometimes distant in its connect and preoccupations with the political culture of the north. “Are you a ‘TamBram’ from Mylapore,” he’d asked me on more than one occasion, even after a few years of my having worked closely with him. It was a genuine query that, at times, gave way to light-hearted ribbing at a stereotypical contrast in our sensibilities. I was, and to a large extent, still am, an alien to Delhi’s social circuit, with whom he shared a wonderful rapport, given the gregarious entertainer and raconteur that he was. I’m not a lawyer either, to a lot of whom he was a generous senior, apart from being a role model, given his undeniable legal acumen. I hardly knew any leader of “stature” in Delhi’s political world when I first came to the capital, as a national spokesperson in 2010 But his shishya I became, without doubt.Once in my early days in the party, I prepared a version of a political resolution only to have him send it back to me, saying that the party needed a draft resolution and “not a term paper”. We were too close to the deadline already, but despite the pressures of time, somehow, Arun ji knew how to extract the best from me. Given his legal training perhaps, he was a brilliant speed-reader, with a complete hold over comprehension. If I laboured a point he’d already grasped, his sense of impatience was palpable. But Arun ji would never stop me or a few others like me, for that matter from finishing our piece. We’ve also disagreed on matters, but he never gave me the feeling that he contradicted me. Even at his most candid, his clarity of thought and manner of delivery were wedded together so seamlessly that he made sure you didn’t take his disagreement personally.

But the clunkiness sort of fits too: our early space agers, Vikram Sarabhai and Abdul Kalam carried their instruments on the back of bullock-carts.” She added, “Too much polish would maybe have been out of place, especially when you have a top-flight scientist conjure up the winning idea .

I didn’t want to get typecast. That I can only play a village girl or do an action film. I want to surprise the audience with every film of mine.

No one recognised me when I did Mard that I was the same girl who (did Pataakha). “I crave for such reactions. I don’t plan anything. I feel if I’m unpredictable in life, I’ll be unpredictable even in my choices.”Directed by Homi Adajania, Angrezi Medium also features Irrfan Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.Radhika said her character in Angrezi Medium is totally different from who she is as a person and was by far her “toughest role”. “I had to tweak my voice a little bit, because she is a 17-year-old girl from Udaipur. I had to just let go of Radhika. My dialect isn’t exactly what they speak in Udaipur but it isn’t Hindi as well. So I had to get into that headspace too.

sportsman, by becoming the first from the country to win gold at the badminton world championships. In the Swiss city of Basel, Sindhu brushed aside Okuhara 21-7, 21-7 in 38 minutes, displaying jawdropping control and killer instinct to make it the kind of one-sided contest that is rarely seen at badminton’s top level. Sindhu’s aggression and constant switch between tosses, net drops and crosscourt smashes left Okuhara a bundle of nerves and errors. She sealed victory with a shot down the line that drew one last backhand error, and threw up her hands in triumph. She ran to coaches Pullela
Gopichand and Korean Kim Ji-hyun to celebrate before repeatedly bowing to the packed stands that had backed her.“I dedicate this win to my mom; it’s her birthday today. I thought I will gift her something and finally I gift her this gold.” She added: “People are already asking ‘Sindhu, what about gold in Tokyo 2020?’.”Sindhu has now entered a small and hallowed club with the triumph. Among Indian women, only weightlifter Mirabai Chanu has won the senior world championships in recent years, winning the 48kg gold at the 2017 worlds two years ago.

Mumbai : For Indian cricket fans growing up in the 1990s, it was a painful sight whenever the ‘express men’ from across the border lit up the world of cricket with their pace and verve. The likes of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Aaqib Javed and later Shoaib Akhtar ignited raw passion among fans with their cannon-ball performances, often enriching the
tapestry of international cricket. While these men hunted batsmen down, several of them Indians, the fans on this side of the border were left wondering
why India can’t produce pacers like Pakistan does. The answer lay in focus and legacy. For long Indian cricket had worshipped batsmen and looked
up to spinners as saviours. Apart from the lone wolf, that Kapil Dev was, India had failed to create a conducive environment for fast bowlers to grow and prosper. Most youngsters who wanted to hone their ‘express’ skills were left frustrated and eventually balked at the idea of bowling fast as the surfaces in domestic cricket meant they were destined for toil and nothing else. But with India looking to win matches outside the sub-continent, pace became an agenda at the start of the century. The likes of Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Sreesanth, RP Singh and Irfan Pathan started a revolution of sorts under the patronage of captain Sourav Ganguly as India looked to beat the best with pace.w

Parle is a leading manufacturer of biscuits and confectionery in the country. Outside India, it has manufacturing units in Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Nepal and Mexico.
Mumbai : Parle Products Pvt Ltd, a leading Indian biscuit maker, today denied reports of 10,000 job losses due to slowing economic growth, falling demand and consequent production cuts. “The facts have been hyped by media. The condition of job loss is actually an eventuality if our demand for lesser tax rates is not met,” a senior Parle official said.“It is not a fact that people have lost their jobs by now. The fact is that we cannot continue with the same number of manpower if we are not having the same production volume as earlier,” said Mayank Shah, Senior Category Head at Parle.

How steel prices affect GDP data
The movement in the investment rates including the surge during 2003–08 and the slide during 2012–17, are rooted in fluctuations in steel prices, says new study.
New Delhi : With the economy in the grip of a slowdown and questions over India’s GDP calculations, a new study suggests that another component of GDP measurement may also be distorted. According to an
worsening since the government rolled out a nationwide goods and services tax (GST) in 2017, which imposed a higher levy on biscuits costing as low as 5 rupees, or 7 cents a pack “I just believe that 18 per cent Goods and Services Tax (GST) on biscuits is too much. Biscuits were exempt from excise tax earlier. But now they are taxed at 18 per cent,” he said.The higher taxes have forced Parle to offer
