Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said although there are several parties in the NDA and I.N.D.I. alliance, the battle is essentially between two ideologiesRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 28 Dec 2023 05:31 PM (IST)
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Nagpur. ( Image Source : ANI )New Delhi: The Congress sounded the Lok Sabha poll bugle with its mega rally 'Hain Tayyar Hum' in Maharashtra's Nagpur on Thursday. The mega rally comes on the party's 139th foundation day. Addressing the rally, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said although there are several parties in the NDA and I.N.D.I. alliance, the battle is essentially between two ideologies, between ideas and power. Coming down heavily on the BJP-led government at the Centre, Gandhi said the saffron party is trying to take the country back to the age of slavery, unlike Congress, where even a junior or newly-inducted worker has the liberty to question the top leaders. #WATCH | At Congress' 'Hain Taiyyar Hum' rally in Nagpur, Rahul Gandhi says, "A BJP MP, who was previously in Congress, told me that 'ghulami' works in BJP..." pic.twitter.com/AD7kxzvvJR
“Today, the BJP has control over all the educational institutions. All the Vice Chancellors belong to the same organisation. There are no longer merit-based appointments,” he said. He also targeted the BJP on unemployment. The Congress leader also said the party will conduct a caste census once elected to power at Centre.“People think the freedom struggle was only against Britishers. It was also against the kings and rulers. Kings had a partnership with the British. Congress fought against that partnership for the people of the country. Before independence, there were no rights for the people. This is the ideology of RSS. We changed this ideology,” Gandhi said.Speaking at the rally, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said democracy will be completely ruined if the “Sangh government” is allowed to rule the country.“During the last 10 years, the BJP and RSS have disturbed the country. If this Sangh Government is not stopped, the country will be ruined. There are two ideologies in Nagpur. One ideology is progressive which belongs to Babasaheb Ambedkar. On the other side is RSS, which is destroying the nation,” Kharge said. On Wednesday, Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole said, “It will be a historic moment for the people of the country.” Addressing a press conference, he said that the party will convey a message of change to defeat the BJP at the Centre.Ahead of the event, Congress MLA from Nagpur Nitin Raut said that the rally will send across a positive message and the grand old party will sound the bugle for the Lok Sabha polls due next year. “The rally, with the theme 'Hain Tayyar Hum' (we are ready), will send a positive message throughout the country. The Congress will sound the bugle for the Lok Sabha polls due next year," Raut told PTI.Elaborate preparations were made for the mega rally at Dighori in Nagpur and the event saw the presence of lakhs of people and Congress workers. “Whenever the country faced trouble, the Congress pitched in and a big change took place in the country," Patole told reporters, as quoted by PTI. With the Assembly elections to five states done and dusted, all the parties have started gearing up for the grand finale next year. With eyes on the general elections, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to take part in a BJP state-level meeting and chalk out a roadmap to the saffron party's Telangana unit leaders and cadre.'If Sangh Govt Remains In Power...': Congress Sounds Lok Sabha Poll Bugle At Nagpur RallyBreaking News Live: 6-Year-Old Boy Found Dead Behind House In UP VillageCovid 19: India Logs 702 Cases, 6 Deaths In Last 24 Hours, Active Tally At 4,097'Pavitrata Kahan Hai': Sanjay Raut Calls Ram Temple Event 'BJP Rally'What Is The Land Transactions Case That Has Put Priyanka Gandhi, Robert Vadra Under ED Scanner?Qatar Court Has ‘Reduced’ Sentence Of Indian Navy Veterans, Says MEA Priyanka Gandhi Named By ED In Money Laundering CaseBeyond Controversy: A Deeper Look At 'Animal' & The Collective ShadowDMDK Chief Vijayakanth Passes Away, Was On Ventilator Support After Testing Covid PositiveElon Musk's Grok AI Is Now Available In India At Nearly Double The Price Of ChatGPT Plus/body>

The fourth film 'Dhoom 4' has been making headlines as far its lead casting is concerned and SRK's name has been doing the rounds about the film's lead.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 06:53 PM (IST)
SRK ( Image Source : IMDb )New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan has not been approached for the hit-action franchise 'Dhoom'. The fourth film 'Dhoom 4' has been making headlines as far its lead casting is concerned and SRK's name has been doing the rounds about the film's lead. However, as per an Indian Express report, the news is 'unfounded'. Rumours about 'Dhoom 4' going on floors appear and vanish every once in a while. However, there has been no solid update about the much-anticipated and much-loved film franchise's fourth installment. The latest update, now as per several media reports, is that while work on the Yash Raj film is underway, the star cast of the film is not locked and whether 'Jawan' star SRK will be headlining the film, is alo untrue.A source close to the development told Indian Express, "The news of Shah Rukh Khan starring in Dhoom 4 is unfounded. Nothing is locked yet.”Earlier on Friday, news about Shah Rukh Khan and Ram Charan being roped in for 'Dhoom 4' had surfaced on the internet but it seems like that fans will have to wait some more before anything is finalised about the film's cast.'Dhoom' is one of the most successful film franchises under the Yash Raj Films banner. It began in 2004 with 'Dhoom' starring Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in the lead roles. The film was followed by the 2006 movie 'Dhoom 2' that had Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek in the lead, who has been a constant in the franchise movies.In the third part, which was released in 2013, Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif were seen in key roles in the film.On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan was most recently seen in Rajkummar Hirani’s ‘Dunki’ alongside Taapsee Pannu. ‘Dunki’ continues to do great numbers at the box office and opened to a good response.2023 has been a great year for SRK, who has almost bounced back and become an een bigger and bankable star than before with films like ‘Jawan’, ‘Pathaan’ and now ‘Dunki’.

Israel-Hamas War: Israeli soldiers ignored pleas for "help" before killing three hostages in Gaza, as revealed by a recent Israeli military investigation.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 08:45 AM (IST)

( Image Source : Getty Images )In a serious revelation, an Israeli military investigation report released on Thursday disclosed that Israeli soldiers ignored cries for "help" when they stormed a Gaza building, where three hostages were later killed by mistake. The soldiers reportedly heard shouts of "hostages" in Hebrew on December 10 but interpreted it as a "terrorist deception attempt" by Hamas operatives, according to the probe, news agency AFP reported.The building in the Gaza City district of Shejaiya was believed to be rigged with explosives, leading the soldiers to exit and subsequently kill five Hamas operatives attempting to escape.According to AFP, the investigation revealed that the hostages likely fled the building on December 15 and were shot by Israeli soldiers after being mistakenly identified as a threat. Two hostages were killed instantly, while the third fled, leading soldiers to hold fire in an attempt to identify him.Despite cries for help and pleas like "they're shooting at me," the surviving hostage was shot dead by two soldiers who reportedly did not hear the order due to noise from a nearby tank. Notably, all three hostages were shirtless, and one was carrying a white flag, AFP reported.On December 14, an army drone identified distress signals such as "SOS" and "help, three hostages" on a building close to where the fatal shooting occurred.ALSO READ | US Shoots Down Drone, Anti-Ship Missile Fired By Houthi Rebels In Red SeaIsraeli Army Chief Herzi Halevi admitted failure in the mission to rescue the hostages, stating in a released statement, "The three fatalities could have been prevented."Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed sorrow, stating that the incident "broke my heart" and "broke the whole nation's heart." The three hostages were identified as Yotam Haim, Alon Shamriz, and Samer El-Talalqa, all in their twenties, AFP reported.The tragic killings have triggered protests in Tel Aviv, where demonstrators are demanding a new plan to rescue the remaining 129 hostages still held in the Gaza Strip. The hostages were taken during Hamas's October 7 attacks in Israel, resulting in approximately 1,140 deaths, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.Vowing to dismantle Hamas and retrieve the hostages, Israel initiated a massive military offensive against the Palestinian Islamist movement, causing widespread destruction in Gaza. The territory's Hamas government claims that the war has claimed the lives of at least 21,320 people, mostly women and children.Subscribe And Follow ABP Live On Telegram: https://t.me/officialabpliveBreaking News Live — Explosions In Ukraine's Capital Kyiv, Countrywide Air Alerts, Say AuthoritiesCanada: Shots Fired At House Of Hindu Temple Chief's Son In Surrey, Probe Launched - ReportPakistan PM Bans New Year Celebrations To Show Solidarity With Palestinians Amid Israel-Hamas WarBlast Near Israel Embassy: Police Record Statements Of 'Witnesses', Await Forensic ReportAnother US State Removes Trump From Presidential Primary Ballot Under Insurrection ClauseStock Market Breaks Rally, Sensex Drops Over 200 Points, Nifty Trading Below 21,800'Rahul Gandhi Should Become Prime Minister': Karnataka CM Even As Mamata, Kejriwal Pitch For KhargeMizoram Govt Grants Consent To CBI For Probes, CM Says 'Govt Resolute In Eliminating Corruption'Trains Delayed, 58 Flights Diverted As Dense Layer Of Fog Reduces Visibility In DelhiCovid-19 LIVE: Maharashtra Minister Asks People To Stay Alert For 10-15 Days In View Of New Year Celebrations This website uses cookies or similar technologies, to enhance your browsing experience and provide personalised recommendations.

( Image Source : ISRO )Aditya-L1 has started its scientific experiments. A remote sensing payload onboard India's first space-based solar observatory to study the Sun has started measuring suprathermal ions, or very energetic particles, and electrons at distances greater than 50,000 kilometres from the Earth. It is the sensors of an instrument called Supra Thermal & Energetic Particle Spectrometer (STEPS) that have started collecting scientific data, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said in a mission update on X (formerly Twitter). By analysing this data, scientists will be able to better understand the behaviour of particles surrounding Earth.Aditya-L1 Mission:Aditya-L1 has commenced collecting scientific data.The sensors of the STEPS instrument have begun measuring supra-thermal and energetic ions and electrons at distances greater than 50,000 km from Earth.This data helps scientists analyze the behaviour of… pic.twitter.com/kkLXFoy3Ri
ISRO has also shared a graph showing the change in the behaviour of energetic particles with time. The Y-axis represents "Integrated Counts", which is a unit used to denote collections of energetic particles. The X-axis represents time in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Therefore, overall, the graph shows the variation in integrated counts over time. These measurements were made within Earth's magnetosphere. The entire data has been collected by STEPS sensors. STEPS has six sensors, and each of them observes and measures suprathermal and energetic ions in different directions. The energies of the ions range from 20 kiloelectron volts per nucleon to five megaelectronvolts per nucleon. In physics, a nucleon refers to a proton or a neutron. Meanwhile, the energies of electrons exceed one megaelectronvolt. ALSO READ | Aditya-L1: How Close To The Sun Will India's First Solar Mission Go? Will It Touch The Star?

Know The Significance Of This DistanceISRO activated STEPS on September 10, 2023. The instrument analysed particles at a distance more than 50,000 kilometres from Earth, which is equivalent to more than eight times the Earth's radius. This means that Aditya-L1 is located well beyond the radiation belt region of Earth. ISRO also completed necessary instrument health checks, following which data collection continued. After this, Aditya-L1 had moved to a distance greater than 50,000 kilometres from Earth. All the units of STEPS are operating within normal parameters. Aditya-L1 recently completed its fourth Earth-bound manoeuvre. Its next manoeuvre will allow the spacecraft to enter the cruise phase of its journey. The cruise phase is important because it will help Aditya-L1 progress towards the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 1 (L1). ALSO READ | Aditya-L1: When Will India's First Solar Mission Reach Its Destination?

In 2020, her film 'Chhapaak' based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal suffered due to Deepika's controversial visit to JNU just three days before the film's release. ( Image Source : Getty Images )New Delhi: Deepika Padukone is known for some iconic roles and performances. In 2020, her film 'Chhapaak' based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal suffered due to Deepika's controversial visit to JNU just three days before the film's release. Despite a strong backing with a director like Meghna Gulzar, 'Chhapaak' did not perform well at the box office.Meghna Gulzar, whose upcoming film 'Sam Bahadur' is just days away from release admitted that Deepika's visit to JNU 'made a dent' on her film.In an interview with Indian Express, Meghna Gulzar shared, "I am sure that the answer is pretty obvious. Yes, of course, it made a dent on the film. Because the conversation went from acid violence, which I intended the film to amplify, to somewhere else. So, of course it impacted the film. There is no denying that.”Deepika Padukone made a surprise visit to JNU on January 7, 2020, three days before the release of 'Chhapaak', and joined protests against the JNU attack and the Citizenship Amendment Act.In response to that, many trended #BoycottChhapaak and #BlockDeepika on Twitter and social platforms. Deepika Padukone also made her debut production with 'Chhapaak'. Despite the budget of Rs. 50 cr, the film grossed only Rs. 55.44 cr at the box office.Meanwhile, Meghna Gulzar will be returning with ‘Sam Bahadur’ on December 1, 2023. The film stars Vicky Kaushal in the titular role. ‘Sam Bahadur’ will be clashing with Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’ on Dec 1. ‘Animal’ stars Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandnanna. The film is more inclined towards the commercial space.‘Sam Bahadur’ on the other hand, is a biographical drama based on the life of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. The film also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra. The Dangal girls will be coming together after a long time and fans are excited to watch the film brings to fore.

In today's fast-paced world, it can be challenging to maintain a healthy diet while juggling a busy lifestyle.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: IANS | Updated at : 01 Jul 2023 03:05 PM (IST)
(Representational Image) ( Image Source : Getty )New Delhi: In today's fast-paced world, it can be challenging to maintain a healthy diet while juggling a busy lifestyle. However, with a little planning and preparation, it is possible to snack healthily even when you're on the go. Here are some options that will provide you with some quick and nutritious snack options that will keep you energised and satisfied throughout the day.Fresh and Local Fruit:One of the easiest and most convenient snack options for busy individuals is fresh fruit. Fruit like apples, bananas, oranges, and berries are portable and require no preparation. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and fibre, providing a healthy boost of natural energy. Keep a variety of fruits on hand or consider pre-cutting them and storing them in small containers for easy grab-and-go snacking.Nut Butter and Spreads with Millet Lavash:Pairing nut butter, such as almond or peanut butter, with millet-based lavash, is not only delicious but also a great source of protein and healthy fats. Nut butter provides satiety and helps maintain blood sugar levels, while millet lavash offers fibre and essential nutrients. Look for single-serving packets of nut butter or carry a small container with you for a convenient and nutritious snack option.Protein or Energy Bars:Many energy bars on the market claim to be nutritious but are often packed with artificial preservatives and undisclosed ingredients. This can make it difficult to make informed choices about what we put into our bodies. But worry no more! Opt for energy or protein bars which have been carefully crafted to be preservative-free and transparent about the ingredients used.Trail and Seed Mix:Trail and seed mix is a classic snack that combines various nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and sometimes even chocolate or yoghurt-covered treats. It provides a good balance of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates, making it a satisfying and energising snack. Look for trail mix options low in added sugars, sodium, and hidden chemicals, or consider making your own custom mix to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs.Healthy Nibbles & Quick BitesSay goodbye to those greasy potato chips and discover some amazing healthy nibbles that are not only delicious but also good for your health. Go for baked beetroot nacho chips, millet puffs, tempeh chips or sundried tomato and basil crackers. These snacks are low in sodium, fried-free, and packed with nutrition to keep you energised throughout the day.Ready to Eat Healthy AlternativesReady-to-eat products such as ragi ladoo, millet lavash, and organic hummus can serve as a healthy alternative for your snacking time. These options not only provide convenience but also offer nutritional benefits.Vegetable Sticks and HummusFor a refreshing and nutritious snack, pack some ozone-washed vegetable sticks, such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers, along with a small container of ready-to-eat organic hummus. Vegetables are low in calories and high in fibre, vitamins, and minerals, while hummus adds a creamy and flavourful component. This combination offers a satisfying crunch and a dose of essential nutrients to keep you going throughout the day.(Disclaimer: This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

The half-blind shark recently turned up in an unexpected place, marking the first time a shark of its kind has been found in western Caribbean waters off the second longest barrier reef in the world.The Creature’s AppearanceWhat Is So Special About Greenland Sharks?Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 08 Aug 2022 03:08 PM (IST)
Scientists have noticed a bizarre behaviour in a half-blind shark. The shark species, typically thought to live in freezing Arctic waters, scavenges on polar bear carcasses and survives for hundreds of years. ( Image Source : Florida International University )Scientists have noticed a bizarre behaviour in a half-blind shark. The shark species, typically thought to live in freezing Arctic waters, scavenges on polar bear carcasses and survives for hundreds of years. However, the half-blind shark recently turned up in an unexpected place, a coral reef off Belize, marking the first time a shark of its kind has been found in western Caribbean waters off the second longest barrier reef in the world.The study describing the findings was recently published in the journal Marine Biology.ALSO READ | Explained: What Is Minerals Security Partnership? Which Countries Are Part Of It And Why?A researcher from Florida International University made the discovery while she was working with local Belizean fishermen to tag tiger sharks. The team discovered a sluggish creature that looked ancient, and like an elongated, smooth stone that had sprung to life.According to a statement released by Florida International University, the creature had a blunt snout and small pale bluish coloured eyes. On the basis of the clues, the scientists speculated that the creature was a member of the sleeper shark family.

She added that she knew it was something unusual and so did the fishers, who had never seen anything quite like it in all their combined years of fishing.According to the statement, Kasana shared the news of her discovery with Demian Chapman, her PhD advisor, and sent along a photo of the shark. Chapman said that the shark was not a six gill, and that it looked a lot like a Greenland shark, with the scientific name Somniosus microcephalus.ALSO READ: In A First, Scientists Capture Images Of Atoms 'Swimming' In LiquidAfter consulting with several experts, it was determined that the creature was definitely in the sleeper shark family. Due to the large size of the creature, it was determined that it was most likely a Greenland shark or a hybrid between the Greenland shark and Pacific sleeper shark (Somniosus pacificus).Greenland sharks are a slow-moving species tend to be seen in the frigid waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans, and are slow growing. They have been estimated to live for more than 400 years, implying that a slow life may benefit them. Greenland sharks have earned the special designation of the longest-living vertebrate known to science.ALSO READ: Who Is Nallathamby Kalaiselvi?

Both baking soda and baking powder have the same colour and taste but they have different chemical compositions and uses. In general, they are both leavening agents.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 10 Mar 2023 12:37 PM (IST)
(Representational) ( Image Source : Getty )New Delhi: Baking soda and baking powder are both leavening agents, which are substances used to help baked goods rise by adding gas bubbles. Experienced and amateur bakers alike often confuse them due to their similar names and appearances. Though both baking soda and baking powder have the same colour and taste, they have different chemical compositions and uses.How Does Baking Soda And Baking Powder Differ From Each Other:Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate which is a weak base. As a result, it requires an acid, which needs to be added to a recipe in order to neutralise and release carbon dioxide.Baking powder is simply baking soda which has an acid added to it. In a recipe, it does not call for an additional acid to break down and provide a leavening effect.When To Use What:Pastry chef Sreyashi Dey shared the usage of baking soda and baking powder. Baking Soda is to be used in a recipe which has other acidic ingredients added to it. Some examples of acidic ingredients are:In such cases, baking soda would neutralise the acidic content of the recipe and raise the pH of the dish. Thus, when the product is being baked, baking soda in the presence of moisture would react with the acid to produce carbon dioxide which would lead to leavening.The baking powder however already has an acid present in itself and can be used to provide leavening in a batter which does not have any acid in it.Baking soda, which is sodium bicarbonate is an alkali and is, therefore, positively charged and seeks to be in a neutral state. As this sodium bicarbonate reacts with an acid, it breaks down and releases carbon dioxide. This is captured in the dough or batter causing it to rise or leaven as it is baked. To break down and be relieved of its charge, sodium bicarbonate requires the presence of any acidic ingredient in the dough or batter.Baking powder is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate (alkali), an acid, and cornstarch. The sodium bicarbonate will react with the acid already present in baking powder to create carbon dioxide when combined with a liquid. Again, carbon dioxide leavens the product. The cornstarch in baking powder absorbs moisture and keeps the acid and alkaline components present from reacting with each other before they are mixed into a dough or batter. Thus, the baking powder needs no additional acid in the dough or batter to work. Lights, Camera, Virality!

Generative AI like Bard and ChatGPT consume a lot of water. For example, about half a litre of water for every five prompts they get.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 11 Sep 2023 11:43 PM (IST)
The increased water consumption is due to the cooling down process of the supercomputers that generate heat after using heavy electricity. ( Image Source : Twitter )Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft's Bard come at a cost and Microsft's water consumption surged by thousands of gallons from 2021 to 2022, which is a steep increase of 34 per cent. According to the latest environment report shared by the software giant, the company revealed that its water consumption jumped to almost 1.7 billion gallons which has been linked to the company's AI research. Generative AI like Bard and ChatGPT consume a lot of water. For example, about half a litre of water for every five prompts they get. It is also known that AI also consumes a lot of electricity.According to Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside who has been trying to calculate the environmental impact of generative AI products such as ChatGPT and Bard, “It’s fair to say the majority of the growth is due to AI, including its heavy investment in generative AI and partnership with OpenAI."“Most people are not aware of the resource usage underlying ChatGPT,” Ren was quoted as saying by news agency Associated Press.“If you’re not aware of the resource usage, then there’s no way that we can help conserve the resources.”Microsoft also told AP in a statement this week that it is investing in research to measure AI’s energy and carbon footprint “while working on ways to make large systems more efficient, in both training and application.”The increased water consumption is due to the cooling down process of the supercomputers that generate heat after using heavy electricity that is used for analysing and computing human-written text given to these large language models such as Bard and ChatGPT. The data centres have to pump in in water to a cooling tower outside the warehouse-sized buildings. Reports suggest that ChatGPT creator OpenAI and Microsoft have both consumed large amounts of water from Iowa’s Raccoon and Des Moines river watersheds to cool their supercomputers.Samsung Galaxy S24 Base Model May Launch With UFS 3.1 StorageGenerative AI Can Complement Aadhaar, UPI To Make It Safer, More Efficient.

Rohit Sharma shared his emotional struggle and the difficulty in moving on from India's ODI World Cup 2023 Final loss vs Australia. ( Image Source : team45ro / Instagram )Captain Rohit Sharma, for the first time, opened up about team India's heart-wrenching defeat in Cricket World Cup 2023 Final, expressing how challenging it was for him to recover from the disappointment of that significant night. Speaking to Mumbai Indians (MI), Rohit extended gratitude to his family and fans for their support in helping him overcome the devastating loss and refocus for his return to competitive cricket in the upcoming Test series in South Africa.In a video uploaded on Instagram by Team Ro’s official handle, Rohit Sharma admitted feeling a sense of helplessness following India's loss to Australia in the World Cup final held in Ahmedabad on November 19. Rohit's struggle to contain emotions was evident as he fought back tears after the one-sided defeat.Despite leading the team admirably and displaying exceptional performance throughout the tournament, Rohit fell short by a step in his quest to become the third Indian captain to lift the 50-over World Cup. India's dominant run in the tournament was marred by a lacklustre batting performance, barring Rohit's contributions, compounded by Travis Head's sensational century for Australia in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium.Reflecting on the aftermath of the final, Rohit Sharma shared his emotional struggle and the difficulty in moving on from such a momentous disappointment. He acknowledged the support of his family and friends for maintaining a positive environment around him, despite the adversity. Watch below viral video of Rohit Sharma's exclusive interview with Mumbai IndiansA post shared by Team Ro (@team45ro)
“I had no idea how to come back from this. I had no clue what to do. My family and friends kept me going, and kept things pretty light around me, which was quite helpful. It was not easy to digest, but life moves on and you have to move on. Honestly, it was tough and it was not so easy to move on. I have always grown up watching 50-over World Cup. To me that was the ultimate prize. We have worked all these years for that World Cup. And It's disappointing if you don't get through it, you don't get what you want. You get disappointed. You get frustrated as well," Rohit Sharma said in the video.Furthermore, Rohit Sharma shed light on his decision to skip the T20I series against Australia and the white-ball leg of the South Africa tour, citing the necessity for a break to recover from the World Cup final defeat and spend quality time with his family."I Am Really Proud Of The Team," Says Rohit“If I look on the other side of it, I am really proud of the team. How we played was simply outstanding. You don't get to play like that in every World Cup. I am sure that how we played at least up until the final, it would have given people a lot of joy. After that final, it was very hard to get back, and I wanted to move on which is why I decided I needed to go somewhere and get my mind out of this. But then, wherever I was, I realised people were coming to me and appreciating our effort. I feel for all of them. Along with us, they were also dreaming of lifting the World Cup. There was so much support from everyone throughout the World Cup,” he added.IND vs SA 1st Test Highlights: India Finish Day 1 at 208/8 After Rain Abandoned Further PlayBBL 2023-24: Melbourne Stars End Sydney Sixers’ Winning Streak In Controversy-Marred MatchIND vs SA Boxing Day Test Lunch: India 91/3 As Kohli And Iyer Lead Recovery From Dismal StartIndia vs South Africa 1st Test: Debutant Nandre Burger Rattles India’s Top OrderAUS vs PAK Boxing Day Test: Australia Reach 187-3 On Rain-Marred Day 1, As It HappenedManipur to Mumbai: Eyes On 2024, Rahul To Lead 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' From Jan 14.

File Photos: BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa (L) & Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann (R) ( Image Source : Getty Images )Following Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's criticism of the BJP-led central government for omitting Punjab's tableau from the Republic Day parade, a war of words has ensued between the two political entities.Responding to Mann's allegations, BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Wednesday drew parallels with the tactics of Arvind Kejriwal, accusing the Punjab government of repeatedly submitting tableaus that were bound to be rejected.

On Friday, Zeenat Aman posted about the time when Norway’s Postal Department dedicated a special stamp with her photo in order to honour her. Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 08 Sep 2023 05:38 PM (IST)
Zeenat Aman posted about the time when Norway’s Postal Department dedicated a special stamp with her photo ( Image Source : Instagram/@thezeenataman )New Delhi: Veteran actor Zeenat Aman’s Instagram account is quite popular because of the stories and anecdotes she shares from the past. On Friday, the actor posted about the time when Norway’s Postal Department dedicated a special stamp with her photo in order to honour her. In one of the pics, posted by Zeenat, she is seen holding a giant replica of the stamp with her photo on it. She wrote, “In 2016, while attending a film festival in Oslo, I received a wonderful surprise on stage. I was being felicitated for my contribution to Indian cinema, when Norway’s Postal Department issued a special stamp in my honour. I was also presented with a giant replica of it and 60 stamps for my own use.” To check whether the stamp would work, she sent postcards with ‘Zeenat Aman’ stamps to her friends. A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) “I was thrilled by this novel gesture of appreciation, but wasn’t sure whether the stamps would actually work. So the very next morning, I bought a ream of postcards, wrote out messages to my friends, slapped a ‘Zeenat Aman’ stamp onto each, crossed my fingers, and dropped the cards into a postbox.” She continued, “Some weeks later, when I was back in Bombay, I began to receive texts and calls from my friends. All of whom were exclaiming with delight, having received my postcards in the mail!” “I suppose a limited number of these stamps were released and that they are out of print now. I’ve kept my few remaining sheets carefully though, since I really did feel honoured by this gesture,” she concluded. Zeenat started her career with modelling and entered the Femina Miss India pageant in 1970 and came second. She then competed - and won - in the Miss Asia Pacific International pageant, becoming the first Femina Miss India titleholder to win the pageant. Her role in ‘Hare Ram, Hare Krishna’ brought her into the limelight, while ‘Yaadon Ki Baraat’ (1973) further cemented her position. She continued to rule through the 1970s and 1980s, often paired with reigning stars like Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabha Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor. In the latter part of 1970s, she was also the highest or second-highest paid Bollywood actress, along with Hema Malini.

Kathmandu, Oct 31 (PTI): UN chief Antonio Guterres on Tuesday said as geopolitical tensions rise, global divisions are becoming deeper and more dangerous, and "smaller countries fear becoming collateral damage in competition between great powers.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 01 Nov 2023 12:22 AM (IST)
'Smaller countries fear becoming collateral damage in competition between great powers,' says UN chief Kathmandu, Oct 31 (PTI): UN chief Antonio Guterres on Tuesday said as geopolitical tensions rise, global divisions are becoming deeper and more dangerous, and "smaller countries fear becoming collateral damage in competition between great powers". Guterres made these remarks during his address to Nepal's parliament. The United Nations Secretary-General also spoke on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, acknowledging that despite being thousands of miles away, Nepali citizens were among the victims of Hamas' brutal attacks in Israel. He extended his condolences to the families of the 10 Nepalese students who lost their lives during an attack by Hamas militants in Israel and expressed his best wishes for the safe return of Bipin Joshi, a student who is currently missing. “As geopolitical tensions rise, global divisions are becoming deeper and more dangerous. Smaller countries fear becoming collateral damage in competition between great powers,” Guterres said. Lauding Nepal’s peace process, the General Secretary said, "Your country has successfully calmed the storms of conflict and moved from war to peace. A process the United Nations has been proud to support”. "This small country has made an outsized contribution to international peace...you are preparing the final stages of your peace process - healing the wounds of war through transitional justice. A process that must help to bring peace to victims, families and communities haunted by questions, and scarred by injustice; and help put the past to rest,” he noted. The UN chief underscored the need to implement the transitional justice mechanism saying, “Transitional justice can play a vital role in securing lasting peace.” Over 17,000 people were killed and thousands were displaced, mostly throughout rural Nepal, during the armed Maoist movement in Nepal that lasted from 1996 to 2006. The conflict began on February 1996, when the CPN (Maoist) initiated an insurgency to overthrow the Nepali monarchy and establish a people's republic. The revolution ended with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Accord on November 2006. Emphasising Nepal's commitment to global peace and security, Guterres pointed out that the Himalayan nation is the second-largest contributor of troops to United Nations missions worldwide. India has been the largest troop contributor to UN missions since its inception. Nepal, the UN chief said, "is a promoter of peace, a champion of multilateralism, and a staunch supporter of sustainable development and climate action”. Underlining the disastrous impact of global warming, Guterres said, “Glaciers are melting at records...The effect is devastating. Swollen lakes bursting, rivers and seas rising, cultures threatened. And mountain sides exposed, inflaming the risk of rock slides, landslides and avalanche.” He said the world must act now to protect people on the frontline and to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The UN chief also appealed to the international community to donate funding to help build resilience in effected communities. As climate catastrophe is accelerating with a deadly force, the world could learn much from Nepal in responding to these crises, Guterres said. He also recognised Nepal's unique position, nestled between two major powers (India and China), and commended the nation for forging its own path to safeguard sovereignty and independence. Guterres also underscored the need for reform in the United Nations, including the Security Council. “Developing countries must have far greater representation in international institutions,” he said, adding, “I have called for reform of the outdated United Nations Security Council.” Guterres said he “has proposed measures to reform the global financial architecture - so that it better represents developing countries and responds to their needs”. He expressed the UN's commitment to support Nepal's graduation from Least Developed Country (LDC) status, underlining that this transition is imminent. During his visit to Nepal, which began on Saturday, Guterres met with President Ramchandra Poudel and Prime Minister Pushpakamal Dahal "Prachanda", among other dignitaries.

The report recommended that the government should look into renaming certain existing duties as carbon taxes to decrease the final tax paid in the European Union.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 20 Sep 2023 01:37 PM (IST)
The GTRI stated that the EU's rationale for CBAM, aimed at preventing carbon leakage and reducing emissions, is flawed because taxing global imports may not effectively tackle the climate change issue. ( Image Source : Getty )India should contemplate levying custom duties on certain EU goods in retaliation for the carbon tax being imposed by the European Union on imports of certain sectors, a report by GTRI said on Wednesday. The report by the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) suggested that India should adopt these duties in response to the EU’s carbon taxation on specific imports. The carbon tax, CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism), will come into effect from January 2026. However, compliance with the tax starts next month in October for carbon-intensive sectors like steel, aluminium, fertiliser, and cement, as businesses will be required to provide comprehensive production data to the EU authorities from next month.The report noted that the retaliation measures provide several advantages including rapid implementation for India. GTRI’s co-founder, Ajay Srivastava, said, “India can easily adjust product lists and tariff levels to mirror the actions of the EU or any other partner country precisely. Use a calibrated retaliation mechanism (CRM) to retaliate in equal measure. We have done it before,” as quoted by PTI.Notably, the US imposed tariffs on India’s steel and aluminium products earlier in March 2018. India responded to these tariffs by increasing it’s own duties on 29 specific US products. This decision involved detailed and exact calculations, to ensure that India collected the same revenue from US products as the US did from Indian steel and aluminum. The report further stated that it is important to understand that CBAM is not the only scheme adopted by the EU that will severely impact Indian exports. Notably, the EU also introduced the Deforestation Regulation, Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), and the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (SCDDA).If implemented, the CRM could be used to resist the effect of these schemes on Indian exports, the report stated. The think tank in it’s report stressed that the implementation of the carbon tax is projected to disrupt global supply chains, escalate trade costs, make free trade agreements meaningless, and impose a significant compliance burden on businesses. The report recommended that the government should look into renaming certain existing duties as carbon taxes to decrease the final tax paid in the European Union. It added that India levies import and excise duties on petroleum products and natural gas, in addition to GST on products like coal, steel, and aluminium. The report called for India to formally name these as carbon taxes, specifically for steel and aluminium. This method will help offset the carbon tax paid by a company in India when it is calculated in the EU and will ultimately help reduce the tax liability for the company. However, the report stated that it is essential to implement the design keeping in mind the international norms to ensure it is accepted by the EU. It noted that if India and the EU establish a Free Trade Agreement (FTA), EU products will enter India without duties, while Indian exports to the EU will still face CBAM taxes ranging from 20-35 percent.The GTRI stated that the EU's rationale for CBAM, aimed at preventing carbon leakage and reducing emissions, is flawed because taxing global imports may not effectively tackle the climate change issue.The EU's CBAM has three main goals: protect local industries, generate revenue, and support a trillion-dollar subsidy initiative, even at the cost of global trade disruption, the report titled, 'The Chameleon's deception: How the EU is using the climate argument to subsidise local firms and make imports expensive', said. Carbon leakage, the primary reason behind the tax, could have been addressed by taxing imports from EU firms that moved production to other countries. Instead, CBAM taxes all global imports. However, it won't reduce global emissions as it simply taxes high-emission imports. The UNCTAD Trade and Development Report 2021 noted that CBAM is projected to reduce carbon emissions globally by not more than 0.1 per cent. Srivastava noted, “The EU needs this money to continue to provide substantial subsidies to its firms and farmers. For instance, the European Green Deal aims to raise 1 trillion euros in the next ten years, with 503 billion euros coming from the EU budget. The new regulations can provide a full share of the EU budget.”Also Read : Akasa Air Gets Approval To Operate On International Routes: ReportNew Year 2024: Financial Gifts For Your Loved Ones That Can Set The Tone For A Prosperous And Secure Year AheadFraud Cases In Banking Sector Rise In First Half Of FY24: RBIAdani Energy Solutions Forms JV With IHC-Backed Esyasoft To Expedite Rollout Of Smart MetersStock Market At Record Highs: Sensex Surges 702 Points; Nifty Above 21,650.

Unlike conventional AI, generative AI goes beyond categorisation and identification by generating seemingly original text, images, and code through training on existing data.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 18 Aug 2023 03:32 PM (IST)
Advertisers grapple with ensuring that AI-generated content is free from biases and adheres to copyright and privacy standards. ( Image Source : Getty )Leading global advertisers, including industry giants like Nestle and Unilever, are delving into the realm of generative AI technology, employing solutions like ChatGPT and DALL-E, to streamline operations and bolster productivity, according to industry executives. While this AI-driven approach holds promise for cost reduction and increased output, concerns over security, copyright infringement, and unintentional biases embedded in the underlying data are prompting companies to maintain a human element in the creative process for the foreseeable future. The concept of generative artificial intelligence (AI), capable of producing content based on historical data, has gained momentum in recent times, captivating various sectors and sparking curiosity across industries.The potential for generating a wide array of content in a cost-effective and swift manner is compelling marketing teams to explore this technology for advertising endeavours.Leaders at top consumer goods corporations and the world's largest advertising agency have signalled increased investment in AI, foreseeing its potential to revolutionise advertising strategies.Unlike conventional AI, generative AI goes beyond categorisation and identification by generating seemingly original text, images, and code through training on existing data.Mark Read, CEO of WPP, the world's premier advertising agency, highlighted collaborations with major consumer goods companies like Nestle and Mondelez, revealing that generative AI is already being incorporated into advertising campaigns. He pointed out that this technology has led to significant cost savings by rendering certain aspects of production virtual.An example from India showcased the collaboration between WPP and Mondelez for an AI-driven Cadbury campaign featuring Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. Local businesses were able to customise the content and generate versions tailored to their stores, garnering substantial viewership on platforms like YouTube and Facebook.WPP's involvement with AI extends beyond advertising campaigns, encompassing educational initiatives like partnerships with institutions like the University of Oxford to offer specialised courses in "AI for business."Jeff Fieldhack, Research Director for North America at Counterpoint Research, mentioned that despite the transformative potential of AI, it's essential to remember that not all jobs will be displaced; AI will also create new opportunities.Nestle is also leveraging the capabilities of AI, particularly ChatGPT 4.0 and DALL-E 2, to enhance its marketing efforts, as disclosed by Aude Gandon, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Nestle. Gandon highlighted the technology's role in generating ideas aligned with brand strategy, which are subsequently developed further by the creative team for content production.Nevertheless, apprehensions linger, as advertisers grapple with ensuring that AI-generated content is free from biases and adheres to copyright and privacy standards. Unilever's Aaron Rajan, Global Vice President of Go To Market Technology, emphasised the importance of eliminating stereotypes and biases from the AI models.Privacy concerns also persist, with the understanding that data powering AI tools is often derived from retailers such as Walmart and Carrefour. Advertisers are cautiously navigating the AI landscape, with some fully embracing the technology while others adopt an experimental approach.As the industry moves forward, experts underscore the importance of caution and consideration when sharing information with AI, likening it to sharing confidential information. The understanding is to treat AI interactions as one would treat private conversations, safeguarding sensitive information from unintended exposure.Samsung Galaxy S24 Base Model May Launch With UFS 3.1 StorageGenerative AI Can Complement Aadhaar, UPI To Make It Safer, More Efficient.

The group on Monday shared a letter sent to the FT following its publication of the article which contained fundamental misunderstandings of prior Adani Group disclosures, and resultant inaccuracies in the storyRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 10 Apr 2023 03:07 PM (IST)
Adani Group said the Financial Times’ report claiming it only reveals a willingness to be selective in using publicly available facts, is lazy in its approach to understanding disclosures, and makes insinuations that are false and damaging. ( Image Source : Getty )Adani Group has on Monday issued a clarification on a report by the Financial Times (FT), saying the article – ‘Indian Data Reveals Adani empire’s reliance on offshore funding’ – is a mendacious, deliberate effort to attempt to paint the Adani family and the Adani Group in the worst possible light.The group on Monday shared a letter sent to the FT following its publication of the article which contained fundamental misunderstandings of prior Adani Group disclosures, and resultant inaccuracies in the story. According to letter, Adani Group targets the Financial Times’ report claiming it only reveals a willingness to be selective in using publicly available facts, is lazy in its approach to understanding disclosures, and makes insinuations that are false and damaging.“Our statement to your reporter, that all the transactions about which the Financial Times inquired have been publicly disclosed, is accurate, and the story amply demonstrates that your reporters conveniently chose not to look in a meaningful way at those public disclosures or even at the related press releases (including ones that the Financial Times covered at the time). If your reporters had fully taken into account all of those filings and other disclosures, they would have been simply unable to include – with any honesty – their subjective epithets about “hard-to-scrutinise money flows”, “opaque overseas investments” and “funds of unclear provenance,” the group said.The conglomerate pointed out that as publicly disclosed on January 18, 2021 and January 23 2021, Adani Group’s promoters raised $2 billion through the sale of a 20 per cent stake in Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) to TotalEnergies of France (then Total Renewables SAS), a fact the Financial Times contemporaneously reported but chose to ignore completely in the March 22, 2023 report.Further, in October 2019, the promoters had raised $700 million through the sale of a 37.4 per cent stake in Adani Total Gas Ltd, a fact published in an Adani press release. “Again, the Financial Times chose to ignore this fact in its report, although it did publish the news at that time,” the company said, while adding these funds were reinvested by promoter entities to support the growth of new business and in portfolio companies such as Adani Enterprises Ltd, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd, Adani Transmission Ltd, and Adani Power Ltd.“The promoter entities have had substantial holdings in Adani companies, which have increased over time. It is through the timely use of funds received through the sale of equity that these entities have been able to increase their investments. Of note, the Adani family deployed its returns from the secondary sale to make additional purchases of AGEL equity and to provide support to AGEL via a shareholder loan and other securities – all also in the public domain,” the release said.We understand the competitive race to tear down Adani can be alluring. But we are fully compliant with securities laws and are not obscuring promoter ownership and financing. Through the creation of a misleading narrative, your story has created reputational impact on Adani Group companies. We ask you to take down the story immediately from your website. Further, because this story has driven misunderstanding in the market and with other media, and has become a political issue, we are compelled to share this information publicly at this time. That is regrettable, but could have been avoided by your reporters taking a careful and objective approach.In last week of March, Adani Group also denied a news report published by The Ken, a digital publication, which claims that the conglomerate has not repaid its $2.15 billion share-backed debt. In a release, the group has strongly refuted these charges stating this claim as baseless and deliberately mischievous. In its reply, Adani Group said that the firm has completed full prepayment of margin-linked share-backed financing totalling to $2.15 billion and all corresponding shares pledged for those facilities have been released.Meanwhile, all 10-listed Adani stocks, including ACC, Ambuja Cements and NDTV, were trading in the green. Shares of Adani Transmission, Adani Total Gas, and Adani Green Energy were locked in the upper price bands of 5 per cent, respectively.Direct Tax Collections On Path To Touch Rs 19 Lakh Crore In FY24ACC Higher Secondary School, Kymore Marks Centenary CelebrationsIndian Government’s Fiscal Deficit For April-Nov Narrows To Rs 9.07 TrillionBank Holidays In January 2024: Branches To Remain Closed For 16 Days, Check State-Wise Holiday ListMeesho Reports Maiden Profitable Quarter In FY24, Loss Narrows By 90% In First HalfULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam Govt'Why Does Narendra Modi Hate Muslims': Asaduddin Owaisi On Sunehri Bagh Masjid Demolition ThreatChhattisgarh CM Sai Allocates Portfolios, Deputy CM Vijay Sharma Gets Home Ministry'Cold Day' Alert Sounded In Delhi, Dense Fog Likely Over North India For Next 3 DaysShah Rukh Khan Has Not Been Approached For Dhoom 4: Report/body>

Elon Musk-owned electric carmaker would commit an initial minimum investment in any plant of around $2 billion and would look to increase purchases of auto parts from India to as much as $15 billionRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 21 Nov 2023 06:06 PM (IST)
The Centre has been pushing to increase domestic manufacturing of EVs and encourage a more rapid adoption of cleaner transport. ( Image Source : Getty )India is gradually inching closer to seal a deal with US-based EV maker Tesla Inc. that would allow the company to ship its vehicles to the country from next year and set up a factory within two years, citing sources privy to the development, Bloomberg reported. According to the report, an announcement could come at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit in January, a source told the news agency. Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu are under the radar as they already have well-established ecosystems for electric vehicles and exports, another person said.Elon Musk-owned electric carmaker would commit an initial minimum investment in any plant of around $2 billion and would look to increase purchases of auto parts from India to as much as $15 billion, one of the sources said, while adding Tesla would also seek to make some batteries in India to bring down costs. However, no final call has been made and the plans could also change, as per sources.Musk, Tesla’s CEO, in June had said that the firm plans to make a “significant investment” in India and he intends to visit in 2024. Representatives from India’s Ministry of Heavy Industries, which oversees the automobile sector, and the ministries of finance, and commerce and industry, didn’t respond to Bloomberg’s requests for comment.Launching Tesla in the Indian market would be a boon for the car company, which currently has factories in the US, China, and Germany. The Centre has been pushing to increase domestic manufacturing of EVs and encourage a more rapid adoption of cleaner transport.Despite those efforts, India’s EV market hasn’t taken off, with battery-powered cars accounting for just 1.3 per cent of the total passenger vehicles sold last year, according to BloombergNEF. Buyers are hesitant to make the switch due to electric cars’ high upfront cost and a dearth of charging stations.Trade Minister Piyush Goyal, who visited Tesla’s plant in Fremont, California earlier this month, said in September that Tesla is planning to almost double purchases of auto parts from India to $1.9 billion this year. The electric carmaker sourced parts worth $1 billion from the nation last year, he said at an event in New Delhi at the time.Car loan Information:Calculate Car Loan EMIStock Market At Record Highs: Sensex Surges 702 Points; Nifty Above 21,650.

A fresh slugfest between the BJP and Congress has brought the Karnataka Hijab ban row back in the news.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 25 Dec 2023 11:03 AM (IST)
Edited By: Ajay Kumar
Karnataka Hijab ban row back in the news. Here's all about it. ( Image Source : Getty )Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's recent statement of lifting the ban on wearing hijab in education institutions in the state has revived the year-old debate on the issue that led to massive protests in Karnataka. CM Siddaramaiah said at an event, while answering a question, that those who want can wear hijab and eat "whatever you want".Reacting to the statement, the Karnataka BJP criticised Siddaramaiah, expressing apprehensions about the "secular nature" of educational environments.Taking to X, Karnataka BJP chief Vijayendra Yediyurappa said: "CM Siddaramaiah's decision to withdraw the hijab ban in educational institutions raises concerns about the secular nature of our educational spaces. By allowing religious attire in educational institutions @siddaramaiah govt is promoting dividing young minds along religious lines, potentially hindering the inclusive learning environment."After CM Siddaramaiah made the announcement, former CM and BJP leader Basavraj Bommai said there was no question of lifting the ban as there was no ban at all."When the Hijab is not banned where is the question of lifting the ban," he questioned. "As per the comprehensive education policy, the school uniform policy came into being but it was brought into effect by the previous government. Siddaramaiah has spoken about the withdrawal of the Hijab ban order when the case was still pending in the Supreme Court. The issue has been raised only for political gains which would be condemned in the strongest words," the former CM said while speaking to reporters in Bengaluru on Saturday. Later, as the matter gained momentum, CM Siddaramaiah clarified that the administration was only contemplating lifting the ban on wearing hijab in educational institutions, and that a decision would be taken after holding discussions at the government level."We are thinking of withdrawing the decision (of hijab ban). We will discuss it. I have said this in response to a question. We have not done it yet," the CM said.On Sunday, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara said the decision to lift the hijab ban in educational institutions in the state will be done after a thorough examination and within the constitutional framework. "Basavaraj Bommai (former CM) clarified that they have not made any order (regarding hijab). CM Siddaramaiah himself said that even if it is done, we will check it. The government will make appropriate decisions after a thorough examination. No need to get confused about it... Some confusion and interpretations were made on it after the BJP came to power in Karnataka...We will take the decision within the constitutional bounds," he said.ALSO READ | 'Congress Establishing Sharia In India': BJP's Giriraj Singh On Scrapping Of Hijab Ban In Karnataka On March 15, 2022, the Karnataka High Court dismissed petitions filed by a section of Muslim students of the Government Pre-University Girls College in Karnataka's Udupi seeking permission to wear the hijab inside classrooms, ruling it is not a part of the essential religious practice in the Islamic faith. Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi pronounced the verdict and dismissed all petitions challenging the ban on hijab in educational institutions. The verdict was pronounced after the HC heard the case on a day-to-day basis for 11 days from February 10 and later reserved the judgment on February 25.In its interim order, the bench asked the state government to reopen the educational institutions, which were hit because of the protests and restrained students from wearing hijabs and saffron scarves in the classroom until the final order was delivered. After no relief from the Karnataka High Court, the petitioners moved the Supreme Court. However, the apex court in October last year gave a split verdict in the case as Justice Hemant Gupta dismissed appeals challenging the Karnataka HC order that had upheld the state government's order to ban wearing hijabs in educational institutions of the state, while Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia allowed the appeals and set aside the HC order."It’s a matter of choice, nothing more, nothing less," Justice Dhulia said while pronouncing the order.Justice Hemant Gupta said the matter is being referred to the Chief Justice Of India for appropriate direction.Then, on Mar 3, 2023, the Supreme Court said it would set up a three-judge bench to hear a plea of Muslim girl students to sit in examinations in Karnataka government schools while wearing hijab."I will create a bench," said a bench comprising CJI DY Chandrachud and Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala when a woman lawyer sought an urgent hearing of the plea saying girls are on the verge of losing another academic year as the exams are being held in government schools which are not permitting wearing of a headscarf.ALSO READ | ‘Everyone Has Freedom To Wear What They Want’: Karnataka Edu Minister On Allowing Hijab In Competitive ExamsOn January 1, 2022, six girl students of a college in Udupi attended a press conference held by the Campus Front of India (CFI) protesting against the college authorities denying them entry into classrooms wearing headscarves. This was four days after they requested the principal permission to wear hijab in classes, but were not allowed to do so.College principal Rudre Gowda had said students until then would come to the campus wearing the headscarf but would remov it while entering the classroom."The institution did not have any rule on hijab-wearing since no one used to wear it to the classroom in the last 35 years. The students who came with the demand had the backing of outside forces," Gowda had said.Later, some Hindu students turned up in saffron shawls protesting against the hijab even as the government insisted on a uniform norm.As the issue of hijab versus saffron scarves spread to several educational institutions in Karnataka, the state government announced a holiday from February 9 to February 15 in all the pre-university colleges, and from February 9 to February 16 in degree and diploma colleges.The girls then approached the Karnataka HC seeking relief and quashing the government order restraining students from wearing anything that could disturb, peace, harmony and public order.ALSO READ | Wish To See A Woman With Hijab As India's Prime Minister: OwaisiTMC Accuses Bengal BJP Chief Of 'Insulting' Swami Vivekananda, Sukanta Rubbishes Claim'Brazen Waste Of Taxpayers Money': Congress Chief Kharge Slams Modi Govt Over PM's 3D Selfie BoothsBreaking News Live — Navy's MiG-29K Aircraft Suffers Tyre Burst At INS HansaDelhi: 'Blast' Near Israel Embassy Puts Police On High Alert.

In India, EVs are gaining popularity as they offer cleaner, greener, and more sustainable modes of transportation.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Jun 2023 10:43 AM (IST)
Ever since the adoption of EVs has gained great prominence, the future of charging infrastructure in India looks promising. ( Image Source : Getty )By Dr Anshul GuptaThe dawn of the 21st century has brought seismic changes not only in people's personal but also in their professional lives. This is where, in response to changing climate conditions and increasing CO2 emissions, electric vehicles emerged as a blessing in disguise. Today, with the robust adoption of EVs, India's automobile industry has become the fifth largest in the world and is poised to reach third position by 2030. As per the Mordor Intelligence report, the Indian electric vehicle market is expected to register a CAGR of 23.76 per cent by 2028. In India, EVs are gaining popularity as they offer cleaner, greener, and more sustainable modes of transportation. Despite these advantages, the sector faces a fundamental challenge: a lack of charging infrastructure availability. Because a robust charging infrastructure is critical to increasing and broad adoption of EVs in India. As a result, the government and corporate sectors have launched projects and implemented solutions to address the issues and expand access to charging infrastructure. So, let's delve into the importance of charging infrastructure, as well as the problems and efforts to enhance access to charging infrastructure in India. With technological advancements and the transition from ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) to electric vehicles, the industry has made significant strides in raising awareness about e-mobility. However, the necessity for charging infrastructure, including charging stations and battery swapping, remained a key obstacle to the mass adoption of EVs in India. As a result, there is an urgent need for adequate charging stations across the country, taking traffic and population density into account. Since its inception, the charging ecosystem has been slow to grow; nevertheless, with substantial efforts in recent years, the number of public-private charging stations has increased fivefold. Charging stations have become important in promoting economic growth. Installing and maintaining charging stations create job opportunities, reducing the use of fossil fuels, energy consumption, and expenses. Moreover, utilisation reduces the carbon footprint, which benefits the environment. Public charging stations are essential in promoting and widespread acceptance of EVs, allowing consumers to travel longer distances and making it a viable transportation option. Furthermore, charging infrastructure can assist in reducing the total ownership cost of EVs by avoiding the need for customers to invest in an expensive charging station or worry about the availability of public charging stations. As a result, it is safe to conclude that charging stations have become increasingly indispensable in recent years, not only for encouraging economic growth and reducing environmental circumstances but also for significantly broadening the adoption of EVs across the country. Despite the importance of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, its development and implementation face several problems. In this context, the first challenge is the lack of standardisation in charging stations. There are different types of charging stations and charging times and power may vary depending on the type of charger. This lack of standardisation confuses EV users and makes it difficult to travel. Furthermore, one of the significant drawbacks is the expensive installation and maintenance cost, as the entire procedure needs substantial financial expenditure. This is where, exorbitant fees dissuade various private organisations, resulting in slowing down installation. Additionally, there needs to be more awareness among individuals regarding the power of charging stations and electric vehicles.Standardisation & Subsidies: Standardisation has emerged as a top-priority option in order to avoid any confusion. Implementing a unified protocol can assist in addressing compatibility issues and ensuring that the infrastructure satisfies the needs of customers and producers. In addition, the government should provide subsidies and incentives to investors to encourage them to engage in infrastructure development.Government Initiatives: Given the lack of awareness and steady growth, the government has launched several efforts to boost production and EV adoption. National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020 (NEMMP), Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME), FAME Phase II, and other initiatives are part of the program. Furthermore, the Ministry of Power issued revised guidelines and regulations for EV charging infrastructure to encourage the manufacture and usage of electric vehicles in the country. With the significant increase in public EV charging infrastructure, electric vehicles will further penetrate the Indian market in the direction of growth. Private-Public Partnership: In order to grow and establish their name in this competitive era, various private organisations appeared at the fore with end-to-end e-mobility solutions ranging from EVs to EV Battery Swapping & Charging Infrastructure. In fact, it is undeniably true that partnership is the key to success. This is where the private sector organisation started working with the government to identify suitable locations for charging stations and provide the necessary funding for the installation and maintenance of the stations. Thus, a private-public partnership emerged as a critical solution to developing charging infrastructure.Ever since the adoption of EVs has gained great prominence, the future of charging infrastructure in India looks promising. According to Mordor Intelligence, the India electric vehicle charging stations market is expected to grow with a CAGR of around 25 per cent during the forecast period 2019-2028. In fact, India is making great strides in improving access to public EV chargers, but with several trends and development, a few challenges need to be addressed. This is where to mitigate the challenges, the government measures, in conjunction with business sector participation and technology improvements, are establishing the groundwork for a robust public charging infrastructure. A broad and ubiquitous charging network will promote electric vehicle adoption and help India achieve its long-term development goals. As a result, India will expedite its transition to a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable transportation future by tackling the issues and continuing to invest in charging infrastructure.(The author is the Managing Director at Okaya EV)Disclaimer: The opinions, beliefs, and views expressed by the various authors and forum participants on this website are personal and do not reflect the opinions, beliefs, and views of ABP Network Pvt.

The year that was marked the triumphant return of the alpha male to the big screen and ageing star Shah Rukh Khan fronting Bollywood’s march back to the box office after Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 29 Dec 2023 12:32 PM (IST)
Movies that ruled box-office in 2023. ( Image Source : IMDb )New Delhi: The year that was marked the triumphant return of the alpha male to the big screen and ageing star Shah Rukh Khan fronting Bollywood’s march back to the box office after “Pathaan”, “Jawan” and “Dunki” with Sunny Deol and Karan Johar walking alongside, reviving their careers and the fortunes of the Hindi film industry.The year, the first after the pandemic, began with “Pathaan” and finishes with “Dunki”, the two very different Shah Rukh films bookending the success of Sunny Deol starrer “Gadar 2”, Johar's “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani” and the hugely controversial “Animal” that brought back Bobby Deol into the limelight.But 2023 was not just about macho heroes fighting their way to victory in high octane, high tech thrillers edged with VFX and testosterone. Bollywood’s return to its theatrical glory days was also about sequels and agenda-driven films.Last year, around this time, Hindi cinema was struggling to make a mark in theatres, while films from the South captured the hearts of audiences across India, the pinnacle being "RRR" song "Naatu Naatu" winning at the Oscars.Major Bollywood titles that failed to work at the ticket window in 2022 included "Samrat Prithviraj", "Raksha Bandhan", "Shamshera" and "Laal Singh Chaddha".The revival kickstarted with Shah Rukh’s spy act in the January release "Pathaan" that brought him back to movies after a gap of four years. The Siddharth Anand-directed film became one of the biggest hits of the year with its earnings of Rs 1,000 crore worldwide, leading to many think-pieces and discussions for its palatable patriotism in a hero who was found in a theatre and named 'Pathaan' by a group of Afghan women he saves during a mission.Shah Rukh followed it up with another hit in September's "Jawan", which once again saw the actor live up to the hype surrounding his return. Directed by Atlee, the film went on to mint more money than "Pathaan" by earning over Rs 1,100 crore.He seems to have hit a hat-trick with "Dunki", which has done reasonably well at the box office despite mixed reviews. Though its earnings don’t match up to the earlier two films, the Rajkumar Hirani-directorial has grossed over Rs 250 crore globally since its December 21 release."Gadar 2" was the surprise package of the year. It made over Rs 500 crore and marked one of the most spectacular returns to forms for Sunny in his 40th year in films.In fact, the year belonged to the Deol family. It saw papa Dharmendra playing a hardcore romantic in "Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani" and younger brother Bobby walk away with praise for his brief but impactful role in "Animal".Besides, Sunny's son Rajveer also made his acting debut with "Dono", which did not do the numbers but got its lead actor noticed.With the film, Johar, whose last full-fledged feature was 2016's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil", reminded his fans why he continues to be a filmmaker who knows how to tug at the heartstrings through his larger-than-life cinema.The family entertainer, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, is Johar's most realised film, delivering both laughs and lessons on equality and respect in relationships while overturning stereotypes that have long been Hindi movie tropes. He has acknowledged in interviews that he tried to correct past mistakes in his own cinema through the film about a rich Punjabi brat and a Bengali journalist.While there was a "Rocky Aur Rani..." giving viewers a progressive vision, the year ended with Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Animal", starring Ranbir Kapoor, in one of the most divisive films of 2023.Just like Vanga's "Kabir Singh", "Animal" too courted controversy over its projection of masculinity, violence and its promotion of the toxic, overtly macho hero. The film, however, is one of the biggest Hindi blockbusters of the year by earning over Rs 800 crore.Before "Animal", Ranbir had a solid hit in "Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar", which also raised eyebrows for its depiction of gender dynamics.There were smaller, quieter successes too.Three years after "Shikara", Vidhu Vinod Chopra returned to the big screen as a director with "12th Fail", a low-budget film whose box office success (over Rs 60 crore) surprised many.With testosterone seemingly at an all-time high, cinegoers didn't quite warm up to female-led stories, except for Rani Mukerji's "Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway". Kangana Ranaut-starrer "Tejas", Vidya Balan-starrer "Neeyat", "Akelli" featuring Nushrratt Bharuccha, Shilpa Shetty's "Sukhee" and "Dhak Dhak", starring Ratna Pathak Shah and Dia Mirza, didn't work.It was also a year of sequels with "Gadar 2", "OMG 2", "Tiger 3", "Dream Girl 2" and "Fukrey 3" releasing and proving the worth of franchise cinema.Salman Khan had a moderately successful year with one hit and one flop in "Tiger 3" and "Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan".Kartik Aaryan, who delivered his career best numbers with 2022's "Bhool Bhulaiyya 2", had a mixed year. His mid-budget film "Satyaprem Ki Katha" entered the Rs 100 crore-club after an abysmal show by "Shehzada", the Hindi remake of Telugu hit "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo".His contemporary Vicky Kaushal too had a similar year, "Zara Hatke Zara Bachke", a mid-budget family entertainer, was a surprise hit, while "Sam Bahadur" barely managed to keep its head above water amid fierce competition from "Animal".Kaushal's third release "The Great Indian Family" didn't measure up to expectations.Like 2022, this year also had its fair share of propaganda movies. Some hit the mark like Vipul Shah's "The Kerala Story", while others like Om Raut's "Adipurush" and Vivek Agnihotri's "The Vaccine War" failed."Adipurush", a retelling of the Ramayana, was one of the buzziest films of the year but upon its release attracted ridicule over its language, storytelling and poor quality of VFX.The films that didn't work at the ticket window were many. Some of them were: "Selfiee" and "Mission Raniganj", "Bheed", Sudhir Mishra's "Afwaah", "IB71", "Khichdi 2: Welcome to Paanthukistan".

Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef have entered into an uncontested written agreement about their divorce.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: IANS | Updated at : 01 Sep 2023 02:46 PM (IST)
Martin and Yosef initially connected on Instagram in 2015 and began dating six months later. ( Image Source : Instagram (ricky_martin) )New Delhi: Singer Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef have reached a settlement agreement in their divorce.People magazine, citing legal documents, said the ‘Livin' La Vida Loca’ singer and the painter have entered into an uncontested written agreement about their divorce.The court documents, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, state that the dissolution is "uncontested" and that "the parties have entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support.”Now, the Grammy-award winning singer, 51, and Yosef, 38, need a judge to sign off so it can become finalised. Last month, the two had announced they were divorcing in a joint statement."We have decided to end our marriage with love, respect and dignity for our children and honoring what we have experienced as a couple all these wonderful years," the Puerto Rican superstar and the Syrian-Swedish artiste said.“Our greatest desire now is to continue having a healthy family dynamic and a relationship centered on peace and friendship to continue the joint upbringing of our children, preserving the respect and love we have for each other," the ex-couple, who share two kids: daughter Lucia, born in 2018, and son Renn, born in 2019, said.Martin previously welcomed twin sons Matteo and Valentino, born in 2008, whom he’ll continue to raise as a single parent.The filing comes weeks after Martin confessed that his separation from Yosef started before the pandemic."When the public found out, we had already gone through a grieving process," said Martin in an interview with Telemundo, which was translated. "Jwan and I will always be family. We have two children that we are going to raise together, and this is not a recent decision. We have been planning this situation for a long time, it’s pre-pandemic."Martin and Yosef initially connected on Instagram in 2015 and began dating six months later, after meeting in person for the first time in London. They made their romance red-carpet official at the 2016 amFAR Inspiration Gala and announced their engagement the same year before tying the knot in 2018.(This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Hamas has released a video allegedly showing three women captured during its deadly October 7 attack in Israel. ( Image Source : Getty )New Delhi: Hamas on Monday released a video allegedly showing three women captured during its deadly October 7 attack in Israel.Sitting on plastic chairs against a white tile wall, one of the women urges Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a prisoner exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, reported news agency AFP.Speaking in Hebrew, she becomes very agitated and starts shouting, almost screaming by the end, as the other two sitting on either side of her remain silent.Palestinian journalist Younis Tirawi shared the Hamas video, and captioned it, "Hamas military wing publish a recording from Israeli hostages in Gaza, which they claim is addressed to Netanyahu and the Israeli government."

"This is cruel psychological propaganda by Hamas-ISIS," Netanyahu said in comments released by his office, likening the Gaza militants to the Islamic State group.
Israel says at least 239 people were kidnapped in the raids launched on October 7 and 1,400 were killed. Hamas says more than 8,300 people have been killed in Israel's retaliatory strikes on the Gaza Strip since, according to AFP.Netanyahu named the three women as Yelena Trupanob, Daniel Aloni and Rimon Kirsht, and vowed "to bring all the abducted and missing people home".Authorities believe that the hostages are being held in a giant network of underground tunnels built by Hamas in the besieged territory.Facing growing domestic pressure over the detainees, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday accused the militants of playing "psychological games" over the hostages' fate.On October 16, Hamas released a video showing Israeli-French hostage Mia Shem.How To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Breast cancer is often associated with women. However, it's time to shatter the stereotype and shed light on a less-talked-about aspect of this disease – breast cancer in men.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 26 Oct 2023 11:27 AM (IST)
All You Need To Know About Breast Cancer In Men ( Image Source : Getty )(By Dr Mayur R Shetty, who is a Consultant Cosmetics and Plastic Surgery, at Narayana Health City Bangalore)Breast cancer is often associated with women. However, it's time to shatter the stereotype and shed light on a less-talked-about aspect of this disease – breast cancer in men.Recognizing the SignsMen and women share common breast anatomy, making breast cancer symptoms similar. Men should be vigilant about changes in their breast tissue, such as lumps, nipple discharge (other than milk), and breast pain.GynecomastiaThe most commonly confused condition with male breast cancer is gynecomastia, an abnormal enlargement of the breast in men, which occurs as a result of hormonal imbalances during puberty. Gynecomastia is treated by liposuction and gland removal to contour the chest. This should be differentiated from male breast cancer which is much more rare but needs timely diagnosis and intervention.Risk FactorsSeveral risk factors contribute to male breast cancer, including age, family history, genetic mutations (BRCA2), and radiation exposure. Hormonal imbalances and conditions like Klinefelter syndrome can also heighten the risk.Early Detection MattersDiagnosis involves mammograms, ultrasounds, and biopsies, just like in women. The staging system used for men is the same, ranging from stage 0 (non-invasive) to stage IV (advanced). Early detection is crucial for effective treatment.Treatment OptionsTreatment for male breast cancer usually includes surgery, radiation therapy, and systemic therapies like chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Each case is unique, and treatment plans should be personalized.The good news is that the survival rates for male breast cancer are quite promising, especially when diagnosed at an early stage. On average, around 85% of men survive at least five years post-diagnosis.Genetic Testing: A Game-ChangerConsidering the significant role of genetic mutations in male breast cancer, genetic testing is paramount. Identifying such mutations can not only guide treatment decisions but also help family members assess their own risk.Break the StigmaIt's high time we break the stigma surrounding male breast cancer. Awareness and open dialogue are essential. Men should feel comfortable discussing their health concerns with healthcare professionals.[Disclaimer: The opinions, beliefs, and views expressed by the various authors and forum participants on this website are personal and do not reflect the opinions, beliefs, and views of ABP News Network Pvt Ltd.]Check out below Health Tools-Calculate Your Body Mass Index ( BMI )Calculate The Age Through Age CalculatorZombie Deer Disease Found In Many US Animals, Scientists Worried Of Potential Spread To Humans.

The government's decision comes amid a sustained and sharp rise in the price of cereals following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 09 Aug 2023 04:44 PM (IST)
Cereal prices in India have continued to rise as unseasonal as well as uneven rainfall has taken a toll on output. ( Image Source : Getty )The Centre on Wednesday said that it will sell additional 50 lakh tonnes of wheat and 25 lakh tonnes of rice from the central pool in the open market to contain the price rise. Food Secretary Sanjeev Chopra said, "There has been a sharp increase in prices of wheat and rice recently...The government has decided to offload 50 lakh tonnes wheat and 25 lakh tonnes wheat under the Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS)."This is over and above the 15 lakh tonnes of wheat and 5 lakh tonnes of rice sale under the open market sale scheme (OMSS) announced a few months ago, he added. So far, about 7 lakh tonnes of wheat has been sold through e-auction under the OMSS, while the rice sale has been negligible, he said. Chopra also said the reserve price of rice was being brought down by Rs 2 to Rs 29 per kg. "We hope these measures will bring down food inflation," Chopra said.The government's decision comes amid a sustained and sharp rise in the price of cereals following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. While India has already taken steps to check the rise in prices of key food items, cereal prices have continued to rise as unseasonal as well as uneven rainfall has taken a toll on output.The ban on wheat exports, announced in May 2022, remains in place. In June this year, the government imposed stock limits on wheat for the first time in 15 years to prevent hoarding and bring down prices. Last month, the government banned exports of non-basmati white rice to boost domestic supply and keep retail prices under check during the upcoming festive season. The food ministry in a statement said that there would be no change in export policy of par-boiled non-basmati rice and basmati rice, which forms the bulk of exports. Non-basmati white rice constitutes about 25 per cent of total rice exported from the country.ALSO READ | Stock Market: Sensex Rebounds, Gains 149 Points; Nifty Above 19,600 On Late Buying.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrestles with Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia. ( Image Source : @RahulGandhi )New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited Virender Arya Akhada in Haryana's Jhajjar district and tried his hands at wrestling with Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia on Wednesday. His visit comes amid a fresh controversy over the election of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Sanjay Singh and the subsequent suspension of WFI after Singh announced hosting the U-15 and U-20 nationals by the end of this year.Sharing photos of his visit on X, Gandhi captioned it on the ongoing row and wrote in Hindi, “There is one question - if these players, the daughters of India, have to leave the fight in their arena and take to streets to fight for their rights and justice, then who will encourage their children to choose this path? These are innocent, straightforward and simple people from farmer families. Let them serve the tricolour. Let them make India proud with full honour and respect.”वर्षों की जीतोड़ मेहनत, धैर्य एवं अप्रतिम अनुशासन के साथ अपने खून और पसीने से मिट्टी को सींच कर एक खिलाड़ी अपने देश के लिए मेडल लाता है।आज झज्जर के छारा गांव में भाई विरेंद्र आर्य के अखाड़े पहुंच कर ओलंपिक पदक विजेता बजरंग पूनिया समेत अन्य पहलवान भाइयों के साथ चर्चा की। सवाल… pic.twitter.com/IeGOebvRl6
The photos show Rahul Gandhi and Bajranj Punia trying out some wrestling moves as the latter pins the Congress leader on the mat. Both are seen smiling as several people watch them.Speaking to news agency ANI, Punia said, “He came to see our wrestling routine...He did wrestling...He came to see the day-to-day activities of a wrestler.”A post shared by Congress (@incindia)
Notably, the grapplers who accused former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment were miffed over the election of Sanjay Singh, who is believed to be very close to Brij Bhushan. As a mark of protest, several wrestlers returned their awards. Sakshi Malik announced her retirement from wrestling, Vinesh Phogat said she would return her Khel Ratna and Arjuna Awardm while Bajrang Punia returned his Padma Shri.Jaipur Road Rage Caught On Camera: Woman Run Over By Car After Argument With CoupleBreaking News Live: Massive Fire Breaks Out At House In MP's Khandwa Due To Gas Cylinder BlastUjjwala Gas Cylinder In Rajasthan Gets Rs 50 Price CutCovid-19 LIVE — 109 JN.1 Variant Cases Reported In Country Till December 26: ReportWho Is Masarat Alam, Whose Muslim League Faction Has Been Banned By CentreRajnath Singh Urges Army To Avoid 'Mistakes', Assures Justice To Families Of Civilians Killed In PoonchCovid Cases In India: Delhi Reports First JN.1 Variant Infection'Refurbished': BJP Hits Back After Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Accuses Centre Of Rejecting State TableauxMPhil Is Not A Recognised Degree, UGC Warns Students'Indo-Russian Ties Very Steady': Jaishankar-Lavrov Bilateral Talks Feature Political Cooperation, Trade/body>

File photo of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut ( Image Source : Getty )New Delhi: A day after Congress suffered a crushing defeat in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Monday said that the BJP's victory in the Hindi heartland doesn't reflect people's support but it is an "EVM mandate."He said that he welcomed the mandate but people still have suspicions in their minds and to remove that, elections should be held once through the ballot. "Public mandate in four states is out. There is a different mandate in Telangana and different in the other three states. BJP registered a massive victory. The mandate should be welcomed...But we always say - there is suspicion in people's minds that how is this possible, especially in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. So, we say that if there is suspicion, make it go away," he told ANI."Have one election on the ballot paper.

The Rajya Sabha member demanded the poll body take cognizance of the people "who have doubts about the authenticity of EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines) and the way they function," reported PTI.Referring to purported remarks on EVMs made by Congress leader Digvijaya Singh at a meeting in the past, Raut said, "He had also expressed his fear that EVMs can be tempered, suggesting that the results cannot be trustworthy."Interestingly, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP leader Ajit Pawar on Sunday said he won't be surprised if some people cry foul and blame EVMs for the assembly polls outcome.

Zoom is working to introduce its own email app and calendar apps, in a bid to fend off competition from Google and MicrosoftRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 16 Sep 2022 06:56 PM (IST)
Zoom plans to debut its own email and calendar services soon. Image: GettyIn a bid to stay afloat amid growing competition from other video conferencing apps and tech giants Google and Microsoft, Zoom is working to introduce its own email app and calendar apps, the media has reported. Zoom's email app and calendar app are likely to be called Zmail and Zcal, respectively.It should be noted that Zoom is a very popular video conferencing app, but thousands of Zoom users do video calls on the platform by clicking on the appointment links from email services and digital calendars that are run by tech giants Microsoft and Google. This poses stiff competition for Zoom itself which doesn't have its own email app or calendar services, according to a report in The Information.Hoping to stop its customers from jumping ship to those products, Zoom plans to debut its own email and calendar services, possibly as soon as its Zoomtopia conference for customers in November, the report added citing a person with direct knowledge of the company's plans.Earlier this month, the video conferencing platform announced that it is now renaming Zoom Chat to Zoom Team Chat to enhance teamwork and collaboration. The platform added that it has already made significant investments in Zoom Team Chat's capabilities, and it will unveil even more enhancements later this month."Our comprehensive platform makes it easy for people to connect across places, spaces, and devices, so work is, well, less work. Central to the success of our platform is our persistent team collaboration and messaging hub," the company had written in a blog post."We used to call it Zoom Chat. As of today, we are officially renaming it Zoom Team Chat, to usher in the future of persistent messaging and further enhance teamwork and collaboration," the company had added.Zoom also mentioned that Team Chat extends beyond instant messaging. It is a powerful collaboration hub that leverages 1:1 and group chats as well as channels to integrate workstreams, keep projects on track, and connect stakeholders. Team Chat brings together messaging, file sharing, third-party integrations, video, voice, and whiteboard in one place to simplify how you collaborate.When you need to elevate a chat conversation to a phone or video call or share an idea via whiteboard, you can do so at the touch of a button right in Zoom Team Chat, the company said.Fortifying Digital Defences: What Cybersecurity Challenges Will Be Like In 2047Reliance Jio Teams Up With IIT Bombay To Develop 'Bharat GPT': What We Know So FarBest Games To Look Forward To In 2024: Star Wars Outlaws, Tekken 8, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, MoreAyodhya Ram Mandir Opening: Devotees Can Avail Passes Online.

Sharing the around-seven-minute-long video clip on X, the Congress leader said, "Misbehaving with talented daughters of the country, betrayal of sportspersons who made the country proud, what kind of tradition is the BJP setting? Dignity and respect, that is all India's wrestlers ask for."अब होगा ‘न्याय का दंगल’!भारत की होनहार बेटियों के साथ दुर्व्यवहार, देश का गौरव बढ़ाने वाले खिलाड़ियों को धोखा - BJP क्या ये विरासत दे रही है देश को।स्वाभिमान और सम्मान - भारत के पहलवानों की बस इतनी सी मांग है। pic.twitter.com/pFveDY6bb9

Punia and coach Arya Virendra Dalal said that the voice against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh was raised in 2012 and 2014 as well, but no action was taken then."No one had the courage to raise a voice against Brij Bhushan Singh. Our sisters had that courage," Punia said during his interaction with Gandhi. One of the young wrestlers was heard saying that they wanted Sanjay Singh's removal as WFI chief to ensure that their future is safe.

According to AFP, It was his first trip to the port city in southern Ukraine, which Moscow captured after a long siege.#UPDATE Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the city of Mariupol after a stop in Crimea, the Kremlin's press service said Sunday, according to Russian news agencies. It was his first trip to the port city in southern Ukraine, which Moscow captured after a long siege.
Earlier on Friday, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being responsible for war crimes committed in Ukraine, news agency Reuters reported. Moscow has constantly refuted charges that its forces committed crimes against its neighbour during the one-year invasion.The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin on suspicion of unlawful deportation of minors and the unlawful movement of people from Ukrainian territory to the Russian Federation, the report said. Putin "is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from seized territories of Ukraine to the Russian Federation," the court said in a statement.The United States President Joe Biden said that International Criminal Court's decision to issue arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin is justified, as reported by The Guardian. Biden said that Putin has clearly committed war crimes. “Well, I think it’s justified,” the US president said on Friday, as quoted by The Guardian.The ICC's pre-trial chamber found "reasonable grounds to believe that each suspect bears responsibility for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population and that of unlawful transfer of population from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, in prejudice of Ukrainian children," according to the ICC. Reuters reported earlier this week that the court was set to issue warrants, the first in its inquiry into the Ukrainian conflict.Breaking News Live — Mobile Internet Services Restored In Poonch, Rajouri After A WeekCanada: Shots Fired At House Of Hindu Temple Chief's Son In Surrey, Probe Launched - ReportRussia-Ukraine War: Moscow Launches Over 100 Missiles In 'Unprecedented' BarrageGaza War: Oldest Woman Held Captive By Hamas Dead, US President 'Devastated'Pakistan PM Bans New Year Celebrations To Show Solidarity With Palestinians Amid Israel-Hamas WarULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam GovtShah Rukh Khan Has Not Been Approached For Dhoom 4: ReportIndia Has Sent Extradition Request For 26/11 Attack Mastermind Hafiz Saeed: MEACovid-19 LIVE: India Logs 797 New Cases, Highest In 225 Days'BJP To Offer Narendra Modi As Hindu Hriday Samrat': Shashi Tharoor's 2024 LS Poll Prediction/body>

The availability of PS5 supplies has improved in India, so there's no need to worry about flash sales or stock shortages anymore. ( Image Source : Sony )Sony has officially announced a limited-time promotional offer for the PlayStation 5 console. Starting today, July 25, and lasting until August 7, gamers can avail a flat discount of Rs. 7,500 on the 4K Blu-ray-equipped disc version of the PS5. This brings down the price to Rs. 47,490, making it even more enticing than the initial launch price back in February 2021. It's important to note that this promotion only applies to the disc version and doesn't affect any game bundle variants of the console.The Japanese tech giant said in a press statement, "2023 has been a fantastic year for PS5 so far, with plenty of games to keep players entertained, including recently released blockbuster titles like Hogwarts Legacy and Final Fantasy XVI. We have continued to deliver incredible gaming experiences to our growing PS5 community, including PlayStation’s game subscription service, PlayStation Plus, which offers benefits such as the Game and Classics Catalog with hundreds of games to choose from. Even more amazing new games are coming this year, including Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Alan Wake 2."During this promotion, the discounted PS5 console will be available at various retailers, including Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, Reliance Digital, Shopatsc, Vijay Sales, and other select brick-and-mortar stores. The availability of PS5 supplies has improved in India, so there's no need to worry about flash sales or stock shortages anymore. Meanwhile, in an effort to address concerns over antitrust issues, the leaders of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard assured regulators that their proposed $69 billion merger would not lead to an unlawful concentration of power. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasised that making Activision games exclusive would have no strategic sense and contradicted the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) assertion that it would give Microsoft exclusive access to highly popular titles like Call of Duty at the expense of other gaming platforms.During approximately 45 minutes of testimony, Nadella stated that Microsoft has always believed in software running on as many platforms as possible, highlighting the company's commitment to broad accessibility. When asked if Microsoft would have the incentive to limit access to games on Sony's PlayStation to promote the sale of Xbox consoles, Nadella responded that it would make no economic or strategic sense to do so.Quordle Hints & Answers: Check Out The Quordle Words For December 27Garena Free Fire Max: Exclusive Redeem Codes Unveiled For December 27.

The Net Interest Income of the bank grew 30.2 per cent from Rs 21,021 crore in Q2FY23 to Rs 27,385 crore in the second quarter of the current fiscal year. ( Image Source : Getty )HDFC Bank posted a 50.6 per cent increase in its net profit after tax on a year-on-year (YoY) basis in its second quarter (Q2) earnings on Monday. It logged a net profit of Rs 15,976 crore for the September quarter in the current financial year (FY24) against a net profit of Rs 10,605 crore in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year (FY23).The bank reported it's Gross Non-Performing Assets (GNPAs) at 1.34 per cent for Q2FY24, up by 17 basis points from 1.23 per cent in the second quarter of the previous fiscal year. The Net NPA ratio of the lender climbed up 5 basis points to 0.35 per cent on a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis, as reported in the exchange filing.

Sunak and other leaders have joined forces with industry experts in arguing that current regulatory frameworks governing frontier AI may be ill-equipped to address the challenges it presents.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 31 Oct 2023 10:30 AM (IST)
Sunak emphasised the importance of nations fostering "a shared understanding of the risks that we face." ( Image Source : Getty )The United Kingdom is poised to host a groundbreaking two-day summit this week, marking the first-of-its-kind international assembly focused on artificial intelligence (AI). The event is expected to bring together foreign political leaders, prominent figures from the tech industry, academics, and other key stakeholders to address growing concerns surrounding frontier AI.Distinguished attendees will include Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, United States Vice President Kamala Harris, European Union Chief Ursula von der Leyen, and United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, reported AFP. The summit's central agenda will revolve around the increasingly prevalent concerns associated with the implications of what is known as "frontier AI."The latest generation of AI models has sparked apprehensions encompassing a range of issues, from potential job displacement and cyber threats to the question of human control over these advanced systems. In response to these concerns, Sunak and other leaders have joined forces with industry experts in arguing that current regulatory frameworks governing frontier AI may be ill-equipped to address the challenges it presents.ALSO READ: US President Joe Biden Signs Executive Order To Reduce AI Risks: All You Need To KnowPrime Minister Sunak articulated this sentiment in a recent speech, stating, "My vision, and our ultimate goal, should be to work towards a more international approach to safety where we collaborate with partners to ensure AI systems are safe before they are released." He further proposed the creation of an international expert panel, analogous to the one established for climate change, with the aim of achieving an inaugural international statement delineating the nature of the associated risks.The initiative to convene this summit was undertaken by London, acting upon a request from U.S. President Joe Biden, given that both the UK and the U.S. host some of the leading companies in the AI sector. However, reports suggest that due to a perceived lack of enthusiasm, London has had to scale back some of its ambitions, including the launch of a new regulatory body.The presence of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the sole G7 leader attending the conference, underscores the significance of this gathering, which is scheduled to commence on Wednesday. Sunak's spokesman highlighted the accomplishment of bringing together the "right people to discuss this important issue."The summit will take place at a location with symbolic historical significance—Bletchley Park, where British codebreakers deciphered Nazi Germany's "Enigma" code, playing a pivotal role in hastening the end of World War II.AI has already permeated numerous aspects of daily life, from smartphones to airport operations, and its advancement has been accelerated by the development of technologies like ChatGPT. However, while AI's potential holds promise, its development is often perceived as lacking in oversight.In his address, Sunak emphasised the importance of nations fostering "a shared understanding of the risks that we face." Nevertheless, the limited participation of world leaders, particularly from G7 nations, has been a prominent subject of discussion leading up to the summit.In anticipation of the event, the G7 nations reached a consensus on a non-binding "code of conduct" for companies engaged in the development of advanced AI systems. The White House in the United States unveiled its own plan to establish safety standards, requiring companies to subject certain AI systems to government review. Meanwhile, in Rome, ministers from Italy, Germany, and France called for an "innovation-friendly approach" to AI regulation in Europe, urging increased investments to rival the technological prowess of the United States and China.China's attendance at the summit remains uncertain, though it is reported that London extended an invitation to President Xi Jinping, symbolising its desire for a high-level representative. This invitation has raised eyebrows in light of heightened tensions with Western nations and allegations of technological espionage.While the UK positions itself as the driving force behind international collaboration on AI, its emphasis on potential AI-related disasters has raised concerns among some in the field. They advocate for a focus on existing AI issues, such as transparency in AI models and concerns regarding racial or gender biases, rather than the more alarmist fears highlighted by Prime Minister Sunak.Critics also point out that the ethical principles the UK seeks to establish may clash with the interests of AI laboratories and tech giants, which are predominantly of Chinese and American origin. This could potentially limit the emergence of meaningful outcomes from the summit.Over 100 UK and international organisations, experts, and advocates published an open letter on Monday addressed to Prime Minister Sunak, characterising the summit as a "missed opportunity" that leans too heavily towards "big tech." The coalition, encompassing unions, human rights organisations like Amnesty International, and representatives from the tech community, voiced concerns that "communities and workers most affected by AI have been marginalised," and the invitations issued were deemed "selective and limited."Delhi Court Extends Custodial Remand Of 3 Vivo-India Execs In Money Laundering Case: ReportVivo X100 Lineup India Launch On January 4: Expected Specs, Features, More2023 Gadgets That Dared To Be Different: Apple Vision Pro, LG StanbyMe Go TV, MoreChameleon Trojan Malware Detected.

CBIC official said the bunching up of demand notices was also on account of extension in the deadline given to taxpayers for filing annual returns for the two years.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: PTI | Updated at : 06 Dec 2023 07:16 PM (IST)
The last date for filing annual returns for 2017-18 fiscal was extended till February 7, 2020, while for 2018-19 it was till December 2020. ( Image Source : Getty )Central tax officers have sent around 33,000 GST notices to businesses for discrepancies in returns filed and short payment of taxes in 2017-18 and 2018-19 financial years, a CBIC official said on Wednesday.The National Co-ordination Committee of the State and Central GST officers, chaired by the Revenue Secretary, is likely to be held by the end of this month or early January, which among other things would also sensitise tax officers regarding issuance of notices, the official said.Speaking at the Assocham National Conference on GST, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) Member-GST Shashank Priya said the notices sent for 2017-18 and 2018-19 were a "small percentage" of the total returns filed for the two fiscal years.He said the bunching up of demand notices was also on account of extension in the deadline given to taxpayers for filing annual returns for the two years. Goods and Services Tax (GST) was rolled out on July 1, 2017.The last date for filing annual returns for 2017-18 fiscal was extended till February 7, 2020, while for 2018-19 it was till December 2020.Under the GST law, every registered person is liable to file annual return for every financial year on or before December 31 of the next financial year. Accordingly, the last date of filing annual return for 2022-23 fiscal is December 31, 2023."At the request of the taxpayers the time for return filing was postponed. So returns also were filed at a late juncture and officers have come under a lot of pressure (to scrutinise the returns). So this has led to this unfortunate situation. One hopes that as we progress forward this situation gets addressed and we will not have all the proposed notices pending at the same time. For 2017-18, it has happened like that and we will see how best to deal with it," Priya said.The Central GST officers have sent around 30,000-33,000 notices to GST registered businesses for short-payment of taxes, he said."In our interaction with the field formations, we will try to sensitise them that they should put their officers on alert, they should do a critical scrutiny of details, documents, facts given by the registrants before coming to a conclusion and passing an order. I'm sure, we will take up this issue in the National Coordination Committee meeting so that all tax administrations are sensitised," Priya said.These disputes, he said, if are resolved out at the level of adjudicating authority, instead of approaching the GST appellate tribunal, would be a relief both for the tax administration as well as taxpayers.Also Read : RBI Begins Monetary Policy Review, Analysts Expect Interest Rate To Remain Unchanged"We are working on automated scrutiny module that would give certainty on how scrutiny is to be done and what kind of issues will be looked into return scrutiny," Priya said.Further, the officer said the GST appellate tribunal would be put in place in the next 4-5 months and efforts are also being made to identify infrastructure, following which selection process of members will start.With regard to curbing fake registration under GST, Priya said in many tax administration, about 25-28 per cent of the businesses registered were found to be fake."We are looking at how we further tighten the registration. We are also looking at how we make it less and less open for changing the GSTR-3B (monthly GST payment form)," he said.The Central and State GST officers have detected 21,791 fake GST registrations and over Rs 24,000 crore of suspected tax evasion during a two-month-long special drive from May 16 to July 15, 2023, to weed out bogus registrations."A total of 21,791 entities (11,392 entities pertaining to state tax jurisdiction and 10,399 entities pertaining to CBIC jurisdiction) having GST registration were discovered to be non-existent. An amount of Rs 24,010 crore (state - Rs 8,805 crore + Centre - Rs 15,205 crore) of suspected tax evasion was detected during the special drive," Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had informed the Parliament.The National Co-ordination Committee of the State and Central GST officers in its last meeting on April 24, 2023, had decided to launch the special drive to detect suspicious/ fake GSTINs and to conduct requisite verification and further remedial action to weed out these fake billers from the GST eco-system and to safeguard government revenue.

Flavonols are a type of flavonoid, a group of phytochemicals found in plant pigments, and offer a wide variety of benefits such as antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. What were the study participants asked to do?Top food contributors for different components of flavonolsImportant findingsRelated StoriesTop StoriesBy: Radifah Kabir | Updated at : 24 Nov 2022 11:25 PM (IST)
According to the study, for the people who had the highest intake of flavonols, the cognitive score declined at a rate of 0.4 units per decade more slowly compared to people who had the lowest intake. Tea consists of antioxidant flavonols ( Image Source : Getty )Consumption of foods with antioxidant flavonols is associated with a slower rate of memory decline, according to a new study. Foods such as some fruits, vegetables, and tea and wine contain antioxidant flavonols. The study was published in the online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, on November 22, 2022. Flavonols are a type of flavonoid, a group of phytochemicals found in plant pigments, and offer a wide variety of benefits such as antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In a statement released by the American Academy of Neurology, Thomas M Holland, one of the authors on the paper, said the study shows making specific diet choices may lead to a slower rate of cognitive decline. He added that something as simple as eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking more tea is an easy way for people to take an active role in maintaining their brain health. The researchers analysed 961 people with an average age of 81 without dementia, as part of the study. The participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire each year on how often they ate certain foods. They were also asked to complete annual cognitive and memory tests including recalling lists of words, remembering numbers and putting them in the correct order, and asked about other factors such as their level of education, how much time they spent doing physical activities and how much time they spent doing mentally engaging activities such as reading and playing games. The participants were followed for an average of seven years. Based on the amount of flavonol they had in their diet, the participants were divided into five equal groups. The average amount of flavonol intake in adults in the United States is about 16 to 20 milligrams per day. The participants had an average intake of about five milligrams per day, with the highest group consuming an average 15 milligrams per day. This is equivalent to about one cup of dark green leafy vegetables. The researchers used an overall global cognition score summarising 19 cognitive tests, to determine rates of cognitive decline. According to the study, the average score ranged from 0.5 for people with no thinking problems to 0.2 for people with mild cognitive impairment. For people with Alzheimer's disease, the score was minus 0.5. According to the study, for the people who had the highest intake of flavonols, the cognitive score declined at a rate of 0.4 units per decade more slowly compared to people who had the lowest intake.This was probably due to the inherent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of flavonols, according to Holland.Flavonols can be divided into four components, namely kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin and isorhamnetin. The top food contributors for kaempferol are kale, beans, tea, spinach and broccoli. For quercetin, the top food contributors are tomatoes, kale, apples and tea.Tea, wine, oranges, kale and tomatoes are the top contributors for myricetin, and pears, olive oil, wine and tomato sauce are the top contributors for isorhamnetin. According to the study, people who had the highest intake of kaempferol had a 0.4 units per decade slower rate of cognitive decline compared to those in the lowest group, while those with the highest intake of quercetin had a 0.2 units per decade slower rate of cognitive decline compared to those in the lowest group. When compared with their respective lowest groups, the people with the highest intake of myricetin had a 0.3 units per decade slower rate of cognitive decline, while dietary isorhamnetin was not linked to global cognition.While the study shows an association between higher amounts of dietary flavonols and slower cognitive decline, it does not prove that flavonols directly cause a slower rate of cognitive decline, Holland noted.Since the food frequency questionnaire was self-reported, there are chances that many people may not have accurately remembered what they consumed.Check out below Health Tools-Calculate Your Body Mass Index ( BMI )Calculate The Age Through Age CalculatorHow To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

US Department of Justice has indicted an Indian national named Nikhil Gupta and charged him with ‘murder-for-hire’ in an apparent bid to eliminate Sikh separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.Related StoriesBy: Nayanima Basu | Updated at : 30 Nov 2023 05:18 PM (IST)
The matter is now being monitored at the “highest level”, ABP LIVE has learnt. ( Image Source : Canva & YouTube screengrab )New Delhi: India is believed to have activated back-channel talks with the United states with discussions going on at the level of National Security Advisors a day after the US Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted an Indian national named Nikhil Gupta and charged him with ‘murder-for-hire’ in an apparent bid to eliminate Sikh separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, multiple sources told ABP LIVE.According to the top-level sources, the matter is now being monitored at the “highest level” even as the NSAs of both countries, Ajit Doval and Jake Sullivan, are believed to be entrusted with the task of sorting out the issue that threatens to derail the growing bilateral ties between India and the United States.This comes a day after the DOJ announced the filing of murder-for-hire charges against Nikhil Gupta, also known as Nick, “in connection with his participation in a foiled plot to assassinate a U.S. citizen in New York City”. While the DOJ has taken Gupta into custody and also charged him with serious allegations, it has not named Pannun anywhere in the indictment. “As alleged, the defendant conspired from India to assassinate, right here in New York City, a U.S. citizen of Indian origin who has publicly advocated for the establishment of a sovereign state for Sikhs, an ethno-religious minority group in India. I am grateful that my Office and our law enforcement partners neutralized this deadly and outrageous threat. We will not tolerate efforts to assassinate U.S. citizens on U.S. soil, and stand ready to investigate, thwart, and prosecute anyone who seeks to harm and silence Americans here or abroad,” US Attorney Damian Williams said Wednesday.India has taken this matter “very seriously” as it also threatens to tarnish the country’s image, especially as it comes close in the heels of New Delhi already fighting out a diplomatic row in a similar matter with Canada. The government is believed to be leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the matter is handled separately by the DOJ and not come in the way of the thriving strategic ties between India and the US.“New Delhi is treating this matter with utmost caution. This is not the same as what India is facing with Canada. The US is much closer partner for India and matters like this can disrupt the progress being achieved in the bilateral relationship,” a top intel source told ABP LIVE, adding that the discussions held in the back-channel talks will feed into the investigation that is being carried out by the high-level inquiry committee recently constituted by the Narendra Modi government. Gupta, 52, who is currently in custody, has been charged with murder-for-hire, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, and conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. He was arrested by Czech authorities on June 30 on the basis of a bilateral extradition treaty between the US and the Czech Republic.Pannun is the founder of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) and is wanted in India for propagating a separatist “Sikh referendum” in several countries seeking to create a separate homeland — Khalistan — for the Sikh community. ALSO READ | 'India Needs To Take This Seriously': Trudeau On Nijjar Probe After US AllegationsArindam Bagchi, the outgoing Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, said Thursday the US filing a case against linking Gupta with an Indian official is a “matter of concern".“As regards the case against an individual that has been filed in a US court, allegedly linking him to an Indian official, this is a matter of concern. We have said, and let me reiterate, that this is also contrary to Government policy. The nexus between organised crime, trafficking, gun running and extremists at an international level is also a serious issue for law enforcement agencies to consider. It is precisely for this reason that a high level Enquiry Committee has been constituted. We will obviously be guided by its results,” Bagchi told reporters.He added: “As we have informed earlier, during the course of discussions with the US on bilateral security cooperation, the US side shared some inputs pertaining to nexus between organized criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others. We take such inputs seriously, and a high-level Enquiry Committee has been constituted to look into all the relevant aspects of the matter and necessary follow-up action will be taken based on the findings of the Enquiry Committee. We cannot share any further information on such security matters.”Bagchi had earlier said "issues in the context of US inputs are already being examined by relevant departments".OPINION | India Needs To Come Clear On Taliban. Afghanistan Plan Looks Messed UpIt was in 2013 when the bilateral relationship between India and the US faced a major crisis when American authorities arrested Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade on visa fraud charges.Michael Kugelman, Deputy Director of the Asia Program and Senior Associate for South Asia at the Washington-based Wilson Center, told ABP LIVE from Washington that the India-US bilateral relationship is “strong, stable, trust-based, and anchored by strategic convergences” providing “sufficient insulation to weather challenges like the current one".“That said, there will be troubling implications. These allegations have spooked US officials. The notion of a strategic partner attempting an assassination on US soil is something they’ll need to grapple with in the days ahead. It won’t shatter trust, but it risks undermining it. More broadly, this development has put into sharp relief a fundamental disconnect in a relationship otherwise rife with convergences: In India’s view, the US doesn’t give enough attention to what India projects as a dangerous security threat," he said.Meanwhile, adding fuel to the fire, Canada has asked India to cooperate in an investigation into the murder of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar after the US alleged that it had foiled an assassination attempt against a Sikh separatist on American soil.“The news coming out of the United States further underscores what we've been talking about from the very beginning, which is that India needs to take this seriously," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday.Reacting to Trudeau’s statements, Bagchi said: “Insofar as Canada is concerned, they have consistently given space to anti-India extremists and violence. That is at the heart of the issue. Our diplomatic representatives have borne the brunt of this. So we expect the Government of Canada to live up to their obligations under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. We have also seen interference in our internal affairs. This is obviously unacceptable.”The US DOJ in the indictment has clearly linked the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, another Sikh separatist who was murdered in Canada in June this year, with Gupta who was believed to have shared a video clip of slain Khalistani operative. Nijjar was working with Pannun.

Decoctions and vitamins boost immunity and are hence widely used as a measure to reduce the risk of corona infection. Doctors have detected anal fissures caused by constipation among those who consume it in excessive quantities.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 23 Jun 2021 04:02 PM (IST)
Representative ImagePune: The excessive use of decoctions, antibiotics, and vitamin tablets among Covid-19 patients has led to an increase in the cases of constipation-induced anal fissure. Proctologist Dr. Ashwin Porwal said, "Between April 10 and May 20, we detected anal fissures in 481 patients. These patients were either suspected of being infected with Covid-19 or were confirmed cases of Covid-19. At the same time, anal fissures were identified in 223 people who were not infected with Covid-19. This indicates that anal fissures are common and affects people of any age.Side-effects of excessive intake of decoction and vitamin. Dr. Ashwin Porwal added, "When we investigated, all 481 people admitted to having been involved in the widespread use of decoction ('Kadha'), vitamin pills, and antibiotics". He shared important tips to treat Covid, in addition to the prescribed medicine. It has been found that extensive overuse of the decoction can cause side effects like hyperacidity, inflammation, and irritation in the stomach and intestines. Decoctions produce heat in the body, which may lead to dryness of the membranes in the stomach and intestine, and may also cause constipation or diarrhea. The doctor added that there may be constipation, diarrhea, and gas fissure. This has been confirmed by other doctors as well.ALSO READ | What is Peter Pan Syndrome, based on which the rape accused got bail? Constipation has led to an increase in cases of anal fissure.Dr. Akshay Sonone, a physician who has treated over a thousand COVID-19 patients, said, “We are seeing a large number of patients with anal fissures, mainly those who have recently undergone treatment for moderate to severe COVID-19. " Surgeon Dr. Paresh Gandhi shared his experience, "On an average, I treat 5-6 patients with fissures daily. These patients have a history of Covid-19 for 3-4 weeks".Porwal said, "Excess vitamin D can lead to constipation. Passing hard stools can lead to fissures. Similarly, excessive use of vitamins or zinc can lead to diarrhea." Significantly, the formation of a cut or crack in the anus or anal canal is called an anal fissure. Anal fissures often occur due to hard and large bowel movements. “If you feel the pain while passing hard stools or defecation or if you bleed while passing stool, then these could be symptoms of a fissure.

Klaasen and Miller provided the finishing touches to the Proteas and powered them to 428 runs after 50 overs.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 07 Oct 2023 11:00 PM (IST)
SA vs SL Score highlights ( Image Source : Twitter/@ProteasMenCSA )In the ongoing World Cup 2023 match 4th, South Africa played against Sri Lanka where they ended up winning the game by 102 runs. The proteas issued a clear statement that they are here to travel a long road. Sri Lankan bowlers completely failed to halt South Africa's onslaught as the chokers went on to post a massive total of 428 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.Earlier in the game, after being asked to bat first, South Africa lost Bavuma early in the innings, a huge 204-run stand was made by Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen. Both De Kock and Van der Dussen both notched brisk centuries before getting out. Once they were bowed out, it was Markram who started the show and ended up scoring a record-breaking 49-ball century which is the fastest in ODI World Cup history.Klaasen and Miller provided the finishing touches to the Proteas and powered them to 428 runs after 50 overs. De Kock contributed with a 100 off 84 balls alongside Dussen who made 108 off 110 balls and Markram who collected 106 off 54 balls.For Sri Lanka, Dilshan Madushanka managed to pick up a couple of wickets while Kasun Rajitha, Dhananjaya de Silva, and Dunith Wellalage chipped in with one each. In reply to South Africa’s huge total, Sri Lanka were bundled out for 326 runs. The Island nation lost both the openers early in the innings but then they got a flying start with Kusal Mendis only dealing with sixes and dominating the pacers. He ended up making an attacking half-century in just 25 balls and when he was batting, it looked like he would be pulling a heist. Apart from Kushal, Charith Asalanka and Dasun Shanaka also smashed their respective half-centuries but then it was not enough to sail their team’s boat.The simple equation of the match was Sri Lanka only managed three half-centuries in reply to South Africa’s three hundreds in the end.IND vs SA 1st Test Live: Rain Causes Delay In Proceedings Of Day 2BBL 2023-24: Melbourne Stars End Sydney Sixers’ Winning Streak In Controversy-Marred MatchIND vs SA Boxing Day Test Lunch: India 91/3 As Kohli And Iyer Lead Recovery From Dismal StartIndia vs South Africa 1st Test: Debutant Nandre Burger Rattles India’s Top OrderAUS vs PAK Boxing Day Test: Australia Reach 187-3 On Rain-Marred Day 1, As It HappenedManipur to Mumbai: Eyes On 2024, Rahul To Lead 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' From Jan 14.

A voluptuous mermaid statue, which sits in a new square in the Puglia town of Piazza Rita Levi-Montalcini in Southern Italy, has caused controversy for being "too provocative."Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 01 May 2023 02:21 PM (IST)
The headteacher of the Luigi Rosso art school, said the statue was a "tribute to the great majority of women who are curvy" (Representational Image). ( Image Source : Getty )A "too provocative" mermaid statue has sparked outrage in the southern Italian town of Monopoli. According to The Guardian, the artwork is located in Piazza Rita Levi-Montalcini, a new square in the Puglia town named after a Nobel Prize-winning Italian scientist. It was built by students from Monopoli's Luigi Rosso art school and is located near a children's playground. After photos of the artwork's installation were shared on social media, it became a target of mockery. Tiziana Schiavarelli, a Bari-based actor, posted on Facebook that a friend in Monopoli had " rightly expressed some perplexity about this 'monument'. It looks like a mermaid with two silicone breasts and, above all, a huge arse never seen before on a mermaid. At least not any I know". Schiavarelli further added that she did not have an issue with the art students or the local council, which had commissioned the work. "But I am very amused by this thing ...who knows if it will become a further attraction for tourists," she said. Meanwhile, Adolf Marciano, head of the Luigi Rosso art school, said the statue was a "tribute to the vast majority of curvy women". According to Sky News, Marciano also stated that the scale model was shown to the council, after which it was decided that the completed sculpture would be placed in the square. He said that he did not want to cast any type of judgment on the student's inspiration, but according to him the work depicts a "representation of reality, in this case of the female body"."You see advertisements on television with very thin models, but the mermaid is a tribute to the vast majority of curvy women, especially in our country." It would have been disastrous if we had represented an extremely thin woman," Marciano explained. It is to be noted that the statue is yet to be unveiled officially. Lights, Camera, Virality!

SRK ( Image Source : IMDb )New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan has not been approached for the hit-action franchise 'Dhoom'. The fourth film 'Dhoom 4' has been making headlines as far its lead casting is concerned and SRK's name has been doing the rounds about the film's lead. However, as per an Indian Express report, the news is 'unfounded'. Rumours about 'Dhoom 4' going on floors appear and vanish every once in a while. However, there has been no solid update about the much-anticipated and much-loved film franchise's fourth installment. The latest update, now as per several media reports, is that while work on the Yash Raj film is underway, the star cast of the film is not locked and whether 'Jawan' star SRK will be headlining the film, is alo untrue.A source close to the development told Indian Express, "The news of Shah Rukh Khan starring in Dhoom 4 is unfounded. Nothing is locked yet.”Earlier on Friday, news about Shah Rukh Khan and Ram Charan being roped in for 'Dhoom 4' had surfaced on the internet but it seems like that fans will have to wait some more before anything is finalised about the film's cast.'Dhoom' is one of the most successful film franchises under the Yash Raj Films banner. It began in 2004 with 'Dhoom' starring Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in the lead roles. The film was followed by the 2006 movie 'Dhoom 2' that had Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek in the lead, who has been a constant in the franchise movies.In the third part, which was released in 2013, Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif were seen in key roles in the film.On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan was most recently seen in Rajkummar Hirani’s ‘Dunki’ alongside Taapsee Pannu. ‘Dunki’ continues to do great numbers at the box office and opened to a good response.2023 has been a great year for SRK, who has almost bounced back and become an een bigger and bankable star than before with films like ‘Jawan’, ‘Pathaan’ and now ‘Dunki’.

In many cases, Russia has sent the captured military equipment to Iran for further dismantling and analysis, likely so that the Iranian troops could try and create their own copies of these weapons.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 10 Mar 2023 09:17 PM (IST)
Representative Image ( Image Source : Getty Images )New Delhi: Russia has been capturing some of the weapons that Ukraine received from US and NATO and sending them to Iran, where the US believes Tehran will make their own copies of the systems, CNN reported.Over the past few years, there have been several instances where Russia has captured small sized shoulder-fired weapons, including Javelin anti-tank systems and Stinger anti-aircraft systems, which the Ukrainian military had to abandon on the battlefield.In many cases, Russia has sent the captured military equipment to Iran for further dismantling and analysis, likely so that the Iranian troops could try and create their own copies of these weapons. Russia believes that supplying Iran with the Western weapons will stimulate Tehran to continue supporting the Russian war against Ukraine.Although it’s not yet clear if Iran has successfully been able to reverse-engineer any of the US weapons taken in Ukraine, but Tehran has proven highly adept at developing weapons systems based on US equipment seized in the past, CNN reported.“Iran has demonstrated the capability to reverse-engineer US weapons in the past. They reverse-engineered the TOW anti-tank guided missile, creating a near-perfect replica they called the Toophan, and have since proliferated it to the Houthis and Hezbollah. Iran could do the same with a Stinger, which could threaten both civil and military aviation throughout the region. A reverse-engineered Javelin could be used by Hamas or Hezbollah to threaten an Israeli Merkava tank. In the hands of Iran’s proxies, these weapons pose a real threat to Israel’s conventional military forces,” CNN quoted Jonathan Lord, director of the Middle East security program at the Center for a New American Security, as saying.Notably, this coordination is an example of a growing defence partnership between Russia and Iran, which has grown stronger over the past year since Russia became more desperate for external military aid in its war against Ukraine.John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council in the White House, said that this partnership would not only destabilise Ukraine, but can also pose a threat for Iran’s neighbouring states in the Middle East.Breaking News Live — Mobile Internet Services Restored In Poonch, Rajouri After A WeekCanada: Shots Fired At House Of Hindu Temple Chief's Son In Surrey, Probe Launched - ReportRussia-Ukraine War: Moscow Launches Over 100 Missiles In 'Unprecedented' BarrageGaza War: Oldest Woman Held Captive By Hamas Dead, US President 'Devastated'Pakistan PM Bans New Year Celebrations To Show Solidarity With Palestinians Amid Israel-Hamas WarULFA Pro-Talks Faction Signs Peace Accord With Centre, Assam GovtShah Rukh Khan Has Not Been Approached For Dhoom 4: ReportIndia Has Sent Extradition Request For 26/11 Attack Mastermind Hafiz Saeed: MEACovid-19 LIVE: India Logs 797 New Cases, Highest In 225 Days'BJP To Offer Narendra Modi As Hindu Hriday Samrat': Shashi Tharoor's 2024 LS Poll Prediction/body>

Congress president Kharge has lauded the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in building a strong and progressive India on her death anniversary. ( Image Source : Twitter: @INCIndia )The Congress on Tuesday paid rich tributes to former prime minister Indira Gandhi on her death anniversary with party chief Mallikarjun Kharge hailing her for playing an important role in building a strong and progressive India.Indira Gandhi, India's first and only woman prime minister, was assassinated by her bodyguards on this day in 1984.Kharge and former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi paid floral tributes to the ex-prime minister at her memorial 'Shakti Sthal' here.In a post on X, Kharge posted a quote of Indira Gandhi to highlight her dedication to the country."Humble tributes to Indira Gandhi, India's first woman prime minister and our idol, who played an important role in building a strong and progressive India with her strong will, efficient leadership, unique working style and foresight, on her martyrdom day," Kharge said.“जब तक मुझ में साँस है तब तक सेवा ही नहीं जायेगी और जब मेरी जान जायेगी तब मैं ये कह सकती हूँ कि...एक एक खून का क़तरा जितना मेरा है, वह एक-एक ख़ून का क़तरा …एक भारत को जीवित करेगा।”~ श्रीमती इंदिरा गाँधी सशक्त एवं प्रगतिशील भारत के निर्माण में अपनी दृढ़ इच्छाशक्ति, कुशल… pic.twitter.com/MffuTCd1pJ
The Congress, in a post on X, said, "Heartfelt tributes to the country's first woman prime minister, Smt. Indira Gandhi, an example of strength, determination and strong leadership, on her death anniversary." In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said that today, "we mark the 39th anniversary of Indira Gandhi's martyrdom"."On October 27, 1984, she fulfilled her long-cherished desire to see first-hand the chinar trees in Srinagar exploding into a spray of colours. She also visited her favourite Dachigam National Park and returned to Delhi on the night of October 28, 1984, when she wrote a foreword to a book by her ministerial colleague, Digvijay Sinh on environmental politics called ‘The Eco-Vote’," Ramesh said.This was perhaps the last written record of her as prime minister, he said.She then went to Odisha where on the evening of Oct 30, 1984, she made her hauntingly famous speech, Ramesh said, adding, that the next morning she was "hurled into eternity".Several Congress leaders paid rich tributes to Indira Gandhi on her death anniversary.Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, former vice president Hamid Ansari, among others, also paid floral tributes to Indira Gandhi at her 1, Safdarjung Road residence, which has been turned into a memorial."Today, we solemnly remember and pay our humble tribute to Indira Gandhi ji, whose exemplary leadership and dedicated service towards the empowerment of the marginalised is a source of eternal inspiration for the nation," Kharge said in a post on his WhatsApp channel.

On the occasion of Women's Day, ABP Live interacted with Prof. Romica Bhat, to know her views, and she spoke about feminism and woman empowerment and also discussed the paradigm changes in society.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: Utsa Ganguly | Updated at : 08 Mar 2023 10:49 PM (IST)
Professor Romica Bhat Discusses Feminism, Women Empowerment, And The Paradigm Shift In Society ( Image Source : Romica Bhat )New Delhi: International Women's Day is celebrated every year on March 8 to recognise the social, economic, cultural, and political accomplishments of women all over the globe. It serves as a day to advocate for women's rights and empowerment as well as to raise the consciousness of the obstacles women still face in their quest for gender equality. This year, the campaign theme for International Women's Day is 'Embracing Equity'.As part of our Women's Day series, ABP Live spoke to various women from all walks of life, who shared what the day means to them. One such woman was Prof. Romica Bhat, HOI of Amity School of Communication, Amity University, Kolkata, who shared her views on women's day, talked about the actual meaning of feminism and woman empowerment and also discussed the paradigm changes in society.Sharing what Women's Day meant to her, she said, "Whenever I talk about being a woman, I feel it's a God's gift because a woman brings life, she is a caregiver, she is a path-breaker, and also a follower. So, a woman fits into each and every inspirational model that one can think of. Thus, it's great being a woman and it's empowering in itself."She further added, "Talking about this year's campaign theme 'Embracing Equity', I would say that we are slowly coming to the forum that women are equal to men and both should have equal rights and it is really good to have such a theme on this occasion."On Feminism And Women Empowerment:Discussing feminism and women empowerment she said, "We seem to have taken it in a wrong way these days. Wearing a skirt, having alcohol or being late at night is not feminism. Woman empowerment and feminism is more about knowing the real you- who you are, being able to unshackle all those latches that keep you tied, following a path and being a leader and a path-breaker." Additionally, Prof. Bhat also shared that a woman can choose whatever career she wants and that it is important to know the right path.She told ABP Live, "I am a teacher now, prior to this I was in the industry, was into admissions, and academics, and so on... So it is important to be on the right path. If your path is right, you can make your family understand. Right now also, I have met so many students whose parents were not in the favour of giving knowledge to their daughters, but they have made them understand what it is to be educated and empowered." Citing examples she continued, "If a girl from a far-flung area of Haryana can win a gold medal or if a girl from the interiors of West Bengal can be a poetess, then why not us? So, it's important to make our family and the people around us understand, which might be very difficult, but it is doable. Each and every individual has their own journey, their own boundaries and limitations, but it is you who needs to decide to what extent you can push.""You might have to be a rebel of sorts, but in a positive way. Someone who can change the thought process of society and the people, break the shackles and make people understand.", she further added.On The Paradigm Shift In Society And Its Impact On Students:Discussing the paradigm shift in society, Prof. Romica Bhat said, "After every 10-20 years there is a paradigm shift in society and in today's world, westernization, media, television or films have given a wrong connotation altogether to each and everything that we see around us. So, as I spoke about being a 'rebel', the media has given this tag to all the bad things. Hence, after a point in time, it is you who has to think about what is right and what is wrong.""Actually, nothing is bad, if done with good intentions or if it is done within limits. Do every mischief that you want to do, and unfollow the rules that you don't want to follow, but you also need to think about your career along with it. So, there has to be a balance.", she further added.Talking about the impact of films on students she said, "If I talk about films, there are some good films which reflect the society in a good way, some shows talk about social issues like eve-teasing, acid attacks, women's safety and other such causes, but then again there are other films also. So, it is your choice what will you consume, and it is the choices that make us."On Parents And Girl Children:Having interacted with students on a daily basis, Prof. Bhat shared, "Today's generation is mature enough right from the start, and in the current scenario, parenting is very much important. Parents need to give time to their child, they need to tell them what is right and wrong, and overall, they need to be a friend that the child can look up to.""Psychology says, if you have a friend at home, you will never be falling for other people, if you are given good care at home, you will not be going out in search of all those things. So, parents need to be the real guardian and give time to their children in order to understand and take care of them. It is also important to understand that nowadays, a child also has psychology and they behave in accordance to the things going around them.", she further continued.Speaking about girl students in particular, Prof. Bhat also discussed how young girls often want to share something with someone, but feel shy in doing so because of the fear of being judged.She said, "Girl students, what I feel, have two faces, one which is in college- because they have to maintain standards, meet with friends, create the aura around themselves, look beautiful, look studious, and at the same time you have to be like a Gen-Z; but deep down, they too have a psychology. Because of all these things, maybe they want someone, maybe their parents to listen to them and become friends with them. So, being a parent as well as a friend is very beneficial for the child in today's time as then they can have someone to fall back on."She also said, "If you don't have someone at home to listen to you, it is then that you become very vulnerable and you fall prey to all the wrong things because you are not getting what you need. So, it's very important to communicate with your child in a friendly and healthy manner."On The Increase In Consciousness Among Youngsters Regarding Their Looks:"Looks are important, but not to the extent in which it is taken.", said Prof. Bhat, "You need to know who you are, you need to walk with your identity. You need to identify who you are and your shortcomings by either working on them or, making them your strength. More than looks, girls need to learn to have the correct attitude and talent."She further continued by saying, "There are certain taboos or certain thought processes that people have created regarding beauty. And eventually, at an age, you really find out that that was all superficial. You need to focus on your career, your life, your family."Motivating young women and girls, she said, "My advice to all those people who really think that looks matter, I suggest you that looks are not everything. It's how you carry yourself, how much confidence you have in yourself, and how much talented you are. So just brace up, carve a niche for yourself and hone your skills. Once you're skillful, all the other things will take a backseat."Lastly, on the occasion of Women's Day, Prof. Bhat gave a message to all the women out there and said, "Find yourself. Don't get lost. And once you find yourself, follow that path. Once you have done this, you will succeed." Lights, Camera, Virality!

Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) leader Sanjay Raut. ( Image Source : PTI )Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) MP Sanjay Raut said that the grand consecration ceremony of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya is all politics and it is not a national event. He further stated that it is Bharatiya Janata Party's rally and members of Shiv Sena (UBT) will visit Ayodhya after saffron Party's program.Speaking to news agency ANI, Sanjay Raut said, "...This is all politics, who wants to attend an event by BJP? This is not a national event. This is BJP's program, this is BJP's rally. 'Usme pavitrata kahan hai?'...We will visit (Ayodhya) after BJP's program is over."#WATCH | On the invitation for the grand consecration ceremony of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut says, "...This is all politics, who wants to attend an event by BJP?

Reacting to the BJP asking for Shiv Sena (UBT's) contribution to the Ram Janmabhoomi movement Raut alleged that those people for whom India was formed after 2014 did not know the history of Ram Janmabhoomi movement."Ram Temple is not a matter of politics, it is a matter of faith, identity and reverence. Thousands of voluntary labourers were martyred in the construction of the Ram temple. Some people for whom India was formed after 2014 do not know the history. These people have neither been in the freedom struggle nor in any major movement or struggle, so they do not know about the struggle for Ram Mandir. We are not fugitives, we stood firm in the field and fought till the end for temple construction," Sanjay Raut said, as quoted by ANI.Raut further stated that thousands of volunteers lost their lives during the movement and the Saryu river had turned red. "Ram Janmabhoomi movement started before 2014 and the present BJP government does not have any idea about the contribution of Shiv Sena and Balasaheb Thackeray in the movement," he added.

Turk voiced renewed serious concerns about the "judicial harassment and instrumentalization" of Russia's court system for political purposes, citing the latest sentence imposed on Navalny.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 04 Aug 2023 11:10 PM (IST)
Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny went on trial on June 19 on "extremism" charges that could see his prison time extended for decades, as the Kremlin moves to silence dissenting voices. ( Image Source : Getty )The United Nations rights chief, Volker Turk, expressed strong criticism on Friday regarding a Russian court's ruling that sentenced jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny to 19 years in prison, urging his immediate release. In a statement, Turk voiced renewed serious concerns about the "judicial harassment and instrumentalisation" of Russia's court system for political purposes, citing the latest sentence imposed on Navalny, news agency AFP reported. The 19-year sentence, based on broad and vague charges of "extremism," followed a closed trial conducted within the prison where Navalny is already serving two other sentences totaling 11 and a half years. According to Turk, countries are obligated under international human rights law to uphold the full range of fair trial and due process rights for all individuals detained. He urged the Russian authorities to uphold their end of the bargain by immediately ending violations of Navalny's human rights and releasing him, the report said. Navalny was apprehended in 2021 after returning to Moscow from Germany, where he was recovering from a poisoning attack he blames on the Kremlin.According to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navalny's recent sentence is part of Russia's escalating repression of free expression and political opposition, it said. Furthermore, Turk stated that since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February of last year, approximately 20,000 people have been arrested across the country for various anti-war actions, including social media posts. Some people have been imprisoned for allegedly disseminating false information about the Russian military, and hundreds have been fined for doing so.Moreover, Turk noted an alarming increase in the use of espionage and treason charges to convict people who are simply exercising their human rights, according to the report. He demanded the immediate release of all those arbitrarily detained. The situation has drew international attention and condemnation, prompting calls for Russian authorities to address these violations of human rights and ensure a fair and just legal system for all.Breaking News Live — Dubai Authorities 'Restrict' Movement Of Mahadev Betting App Accused: EDIsrael Asks Citizens To Stay Alert, Avoid Showing Israeli Symbols Openly After Blast Near Delhi EmbassyUS Shoots Down Multiple Drones, Missiles Fired By Houthis Over Red SeaHow To Reduce Pollution From Food Production By Half?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Congress on its Karnataka Assembly election victory.Related StoriesTop StoriesBy: ABP News Bureau | Updated at : 13 May 2023 05:47 PM (IST)
File Photo Of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ( Image Source : PTI )Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Congress on its Karnataka Assembly election victory on Saturday (May 13). PM Modi expressed gratitude to those who voted for the BJP and promised that BJP will continue to serve the state with zeal in the future. "Congratulations to the Congress Party on their victory in the Karnataka Assembly polls," the PM tweeted. "My best wishes for them in fulfilling people's aspirations," his tweet read.Congratulations to the Congress Party for their victory in the Karnataka Assembly polls. My best wishes to them in fulfilling people’s aspirations.
The Congress returned to power in Karnataka on its own for the first time in ten years on Saturday, knocking the BJP off its sole southern perch as voters decisively backed the grand old party desperately seeking electoral revival ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.As the election results came in, despite several exit polls predicting a hung assembly, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai conceded defeat, the BJP's second defeat after Himachal Pradesh in December last year. The BJP, according to Bommai, failed to make a mark "despite a lot of effort put in by everyone, including the prime minister and party workers".According to the latest trends on the Election Commission website, the Congress was winning or leading in 136 of the 224 assembly seats in the state, comfortably exceeding the magic number of 113, and the BJP in 64, a sharp decrease from its tally of 104 in 2018. The JD-S, which had hoped to be the deciding factor, was leading in 20 seats, down from 37 the previous time.Celebrations erupted at the Congress' offices across the country, from Bengaluru to Bikaner, Ranchi to Ahmedabad, as party workers danced to drumbeats and burst firecrackers. Read More. According to EC trends, the BJP's vote share fell from 36.22 per cent in the last assembly election to 35.8 per cent. The Congress' vote share has increased from 38.04 per cent to a maximum of 43.1 per cent. The gains may have come from the JD-S, whose vote share fell from 18.36 per cent to 13.33 per cent, according to the trends.JD-S leader and former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy visited the Shri Basaveshwara Gayatri temple to offer prayers, hoping for a victory that would make his party a key player in government formation.Amit Shah To Attend BJP Meeting In Telangana To Chalk Out Roadmap For 2024 PollsCongress To Kickstart 2024 LS Poll Campaign With Mega Rally Tomorrow In NagpurCongress Strategises For LS Polls Prior To Bihar Seat-Sharing Talks With RJD, JDU On Dec 29Will BJP's Alliance With JD(S) In Karnataka Boost Its 2024 LS Poll Prospects?
