Yashwant Sinha launches attack on PM Modi, Arun Jaitley economy

Yashwant Sinha launches attack on PM Modi

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi claims that he has seen poverty from close quarters. His finance minister Arun Jaitley is working over-time to make sure that all Indians also see it from equally close quarters.”

India, which is going through an economic crisis and suffering in the aftermath of demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax implementation has not impressed veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former finance minister Yashwant Sinha, who has come down heavily on prime minister Narendra Modi and union finance minister Arun Jaitley about the way they have handled the economy.

Yashwant Sinha said that, “I shall be failing in my national duty if I did not speak up even now against the mess the finance minister has made of the economy. I am also convinced that what I am going to say reflects the sentiments of a large number of people in the BJP and elsewhere who are not speaking up out of fear.”

Sinha continuing his dissatisfaction with the economy further added that, “We protested against raid raj when we were in opposition. Today it has become the order of the day. Post demonetisation, the income tax department has been charged with the responsibility of investigating lakhs of cases involving the fate of millions of people. The Enforcement Directorate and the CBI also have their plates full. Instilling fear in the minds of the people is the name of the new game.”

In his piece, Sinha reserves the most scathing words for Arun Jaitley, calling him a “lucky finance minister, luckier than any in the post-liberalisation era”. He admits that Jaitley is believed to be the “best and the brightest” in the Narendra Modi government, and that the current finance minister’s “indispensability” was established when he was given four ministries after the BJP’s landslide victory in the 2014 Lok Sabha election.

Jaitley still retains three of those ministries with Defence now being handled by Nirmala Sitharaman, Yashwant Sinha notes. But, not even “a superman like Jaitley” can do justice to the task of multi-tasking between a portfolio that includes the demanding finance ministry, Sinha writes.

But Jaitley has made a “mess” of it, Sinha writes at the beginning of his piece.

He squandered a golden opportunity when he took over the management of the Indian economy, Sinha goes on to essentially say. “Depressed global crude oil prices placed at his (Jaitley) disposal lakhs of crores of rupees,” Sinha says. “But the oil bonanza has been wasted and the legacy problems (stalled projects and bad loans) have not only been allowed to persist, they have become worse.”

A number of Opposition leaders from the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Left joined Sinha in slamming the Modi government over its performance in economy.

“Yashwant Sinha speaks Truth to Power. Will Power now admit the Truth that economy is sinking?” tweeted another former Finance Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram.

“Very hard hitting article by Shri Yashwant Sinha ji,” said Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal on Twitter.

Incidentally, Sinha is not the first from the BJP to raise a red flag over the slump. BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy and former Union Minister Arun Shourie have also attacked the government and warned it of dire consequences if the mess in the economy is not contained.

Shree Videhi Sati Ansuya Mata, Paradsinga Village, Katol, Nagpur

Shree Videhi Sati Ansuya Mata

Shree Videhi Sati Ansuya Mata

When Avadhutas want to leave their physical body they plan accordingly. Mata gave thought to Her Sansthan to purchase a huge piece of land at Paradsinga and construction was started in the year 1992. Mata moved to Dhyan Mandir from village and the home where Mata lived in village is preserved and converted into Mandir by Sansthan. Under her supervision Sansthan has constructed Dhuni, Mandir, and Prasadalaya. After accomplishment of construction, Mata fell ill in June which was merely an excuse to leave her physical body and mentally prepare her devotees. After 6 months, on 10th of January 1997 Shree Videhi Sati Ansuya Mata left her physical form. Right from that moment her immortal body started showering love and affection on devotees.

Shree Videhi Sati Ansuya Mata Story

Shree Videhi Sati Ansuya Mata was born on 5th of May 1926 as the fifth child to mother Aanai and father Ramji at Paradsinga.

Mata lived with Paradsinga villagers,Shree Videhi Sati Ansuya Mata played song and showered enormous love and affection on them for six decades. Mata annihilated all the troubles and karma, fulfilled their desires and stood as the Head of the family for each of them. Their chaste love for her is so immense that they don’t requisite any other God except Mata so; there is no other temple in the village. In Katol and nearby areas, without offering her naivedhya nobody takes their food.

Pujya Sri Sivanesan Swamiji, who familiarized Mata to devotees, spent his whole life in Sai Seva by Baba’s grace. Swamiji channelized and gave guidance to establish Sai Organizations and follow Sai Tatva. The most incredible gift Swamiji gave to devotees is tracing of real Avadhutas without seeing them and moving from Shirdi. Swamiji advised devotees to invite these Avadhutas to inaugurate Dhuni and Sai temples which increased the power and virtue of these temples. Many people are now being benefited from this all across the country.

Shree Videhi Sati Ansuya Mata, the mother incorporated bodiless existence who knows neither spite nor envy, who took birth to uplift the life of devotees in eha loka (materialistic world) and para loka (spiritual world)

Mata’s eternal power attracts people towards her as she is plentiful with divine love and power. Mata kept herself away from worldly issues. Though Mata had no literary knowledge, she had abundant knowledge about all sastras. Pancha bhutas and asta siddhi were subdued to her and it is abstruse to understand her deeds. Mata has gigantic power, she blessed lakhs and millions of people at an instant and there is nothing impossible or difficult for MATA. Mata could read the minds of devotees. Whoever comes to see Mata with some purpose in mind always go home satisfied and there is always peace and gratification to devotees around her. Devotees who come to her with faith never returned disappointed.

Devotees offered her food, clothes and ornaments but she threw away all the offerings which devotees accepted as holy prasada. Mata brought water to waterless well, cured the sick, saved many lives, showed right path to many, and helped the helpless. Her eyes could give proper direction to the needy. Mata preferred the company of domestic animals. She lived anywhere, ate anything, and wore anything or sometimes nothing at all (digambara).

In Datta Parampara the key concepts are “Balonmatta pisacha veshaya” & “Smarana matra santustaya” which are perfectly seen in Mata. Many spiritual yogis, Religious gurus, Scholars, and famous personalities worship Mata not in Maharashtra but all over the world.

Paradsinga is a small village surrounded by nearly 500 tribal areas where there is no feasibility of hospital with all equipments. To make their life better and provide them with this facility Samsthan has taken up this project of constructing a hospital. Samsthan is also planning to create acquaint of health to these tribal people by conducting medical camp and provide them with required medical aids and first aids. This helps them to improve their understanding of importance of health and useful for future generations to be nutritious and healthy.

7th Pay Commission: Hike in Minimum Pay and Fitment Factor

नागपूर

The government has reportedly decided to raise minimum pay, under the 7th Pay Commission or 7th CPC for the central government employees and pensioners. Though no official statement has been in this regard, media reports suggested the government is likely to hike minimum pay over 7th Pay Commission recommendations from January 2018.

Sources confirm that the government will raise the fitment factor to 3 times. This would mean the minimum pay of the Central Government employees will go up to Rs 21,000 from the existing Rs 18,000.

The government may raise fitment factor to 3.00 times from 2.57 times approved by the Cabinet based on the 7th Pay Commission recommendations. If the 2.57 fitment factor is tinkered with fitment factor 3.00, then salary and pension will go up under the 7th Pay Commission. “The fitment factor for basic pay will be raised to 3.00 times from 2.57 times as approved by the Cabinet on January 29,” a Finance Ministry official was quoted as saying by Sen Times. However, the central government employees asked to raise fitment factor to 3.68 times from 2.57 times.

There have been reports that the government is considering to raise minimum pay to Rs 21,000 from the existing Rs 18,000, under the 7th Pay Commission. The National Anomaly Committee, formed in September 2016 to look into pay anomalies arising out of the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations, will hold a meeting by the end of September or the first week of October and may recommend raising minimum pay to Rs 21,000. The central government employees, however, are demanding for hiking minimum pay Rs 18,000 to Rs 26,000.

The 7th Pay Commission had recommended a pay hike of Rs 18,000. However it is not the final word. The government said that it would hike the minimum pay after holding talks with all stake holders. The assurance was made by Arun Jaitley, the Finance Minister of India.

Government launches 16,320 crore Saubhagya scheme for household electrification

Government launches 16,320 crore Saubhagya scheme

Government launches 16,320 crore Saubhagya scheme

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched a Rs 16,320-crore scheme to supply electricity to all households by December 2018, providing free connections to the poor and at very low cost to others.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the “Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana” or the Saubhagya scheme aims to improve the environment, public health, education and connectivity with the help of last-mile power connections across India. It will help reduce the use of kerosene lamps in non-electrified households.

The government said this scheme will inject more than Rs 16000 crore in the economy to create assets, which in turn will add more investment in the economy and create jobs.

The total outlay for Saubhagya is Rs 16,320 crore. The outlay for rural households is Rs 14,025 crore, while that for urban households is Rs 2,295 crore. The urban non-poor are excluded from the scheme. Rs 12,320 crore has been earmarked as gross budgetary support for Saubhagya.

The scheme follows the government’s mission to take electricity lines to each and every village in the country, including solar power stations in remote hamlets, which was rigorously implemented by coal and railways minister Piyush Goyal, who was earlier the minister for power, renewable energy, coal and mines.

About 90% of the non-electrified households are in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Jammu & Kashmir and North-Eastern State.

The Union government will provide a 60 per cent grant toward funding the scheme, while the states will provide a 10 percent grant. The remaining amount will be covered by loans. States completing electrification of all households by December 31, 2018, will get an incentive to convert 50 percent of the loan into a grant.

Jio Phone Delivery Date Status, Next Sale, and Other Things You Need to Know

Jio Phone Delivery Date Status, Next Sale, and Other Things You Need to Know

Jio Phone Delivery Date Status, Next Sale, and Other Things You Need to Know – Jio Phone deliveries have commenced, with Reliance Jio confirming that all 6 million customers who pre-booked the handset will get the handset by Diwali. This will be good news for the consumers based in Tier-1, 2, and 3 cities as well as rural areas, since it means they won’t have to wait too long for the Jio Phone delivery date. Though Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani had earlier said the company aims to delivery 5 million units a week, it is unlikely to happen at least till the logistics processes are cemented. On the other hand, if you were unable to book Jio Phone in August, you might just have to wait a little longer. Here’s what you need to know about the Jio Phone booking process, delivery dates, price, and more

How to book Jio Phone?
To book Jio Phone you have three options – the Jio.com website, the MyJio app, and authorised offline Jio retailers. All you need to do make the Jio Phone booking is to give your phone number and the pincode delivery address, and pay a sum of Rs. 500. Once the booking has been made, you will receive a voucher number that you can refer to while picking up the handset. When the Jio Phone you booked is up for delivery, you will receive an SMS mentioning the store from which it can be picked up. Even the units booked online will have to be picked up offline. For now, the bookings are closed.

Check Out: Apple iPhone X price in India, iPhone 8, Plus start at Rs64,000.

Can I book the Jio Phone for a friend?
Yes, you can book multiple Jio Phone units, for your friends and family. All you need is their respective phone numbers and delivery pincodes. You will have to make a Rs. 500 payment for each unit you pre-order at the time of booking itself.

How to check Jio Phone booking status?
Jio Phone Delivery Date Status : To check Jio Phone booking status, you have two options – the MyJio app, and an IVR number. If you want to check Jio Phone booking status online, open MyJio app and tap on the Manage Booking option. After providing your registered phone number and OTP, you will see the My Vouchers page on the screen. At the moment the Status field just says Created, but as the Jio Phone delivery date for your unit draws near, it should show the date and details of the store from which the phone can be picked up. Alternatively, you can call 18008908900 via the number from which you booked the handset to check Jio Phone Delivery Date Status. This is an IVR number, and you just need to follow the instructions.



When is Jio Phone delivery date?
Jio Phone Delivery Date Status Citing channel partners, a new report says the Jio Phone deliveries have started, which is in line reportage on the shipping commencing around Navratri. The deliveries will be completed over the next 15 days, the report says, adding that users in rural areas and smaller cities will get the device before those in urban areas. On Twitter, the company has said the handset will be delivered to all customers by Diwali. Each user will receive the delivery schedule and details of the offline store their unit can be picked up from via SMS.

When will Jio Phone bookings start again?
Jio Phone bookings were suspended early on August 26 after “millions” booked the handset, with no indication of when the booking will start again. However, if you want to remain updated regarding the next time Jio Phone pre-booking opens, you can head to the official website and register your interest. With this, you will be notified about the next time the handset goes on sale via SMS and email.

When do I make the full payment?
The refundable security amount for Jio Phone is Rs. 1,500, of which Rs. 500 is, as mentioned above, paid at the time of booking. The remaining Rs. 1,000 has to be paid when you pick up the handset from the offline store.

How many units can I book?
On the MyJio app and Jio.com website, there seems to be no cap on how many units of the handset can be booked (we went up to 30 units). Multiple units can be booked against the same number and pincode as well, and you just need to make the Rs. 500 partial deposit per unit at the time of booking.

Can I transfer my booking to someone else?
After ordering the Jio 4G phone, if you decide against buying it, you can transfer the booking to someone else using the Transfer option in the MyJio app, under Manage Bookings. After entering your number and OTP, you will see an overview of your Jio Phone bookings, with information such as orders placed and number of units for each order. Now, tap on the Transfer button above the Jio Phone banner, and the screen will switch to a new interface with the option to reassign your booking to someone else. All you will have to do is to provide the new user’s phone number, the new delivery pincode, and number of units to be transferred (in case you booked more than one). The recipient will instantaneously receive a SMS from Jio mentioning their new booking.

How much data will I get with the phone?
The phone comes with two primary recharge packs, priced at Rs. 153 and Rs. 309. The Rs. 153 Jio Phone pack provides 500MB data at 4G speeds, and the speed goes down to 128kbps after the high-speed data cap is exhausted. You will also get 300 free SMSs, access to compatible Jio apps, such as JioTV, JioCinema, JioXpressNews, and JioMusic. Voice calls are free on the Jio network as well.
With the Rs. 309 Jio Phone recharge pack, you will get the same benefits as the Rs. 153 pack, but 1GB of data per day. If you plan to use the Jio Phone-TV Cable, called the JioMediaCable, that lets you mirror content playing on the phone directly on the big screen then you must buy the Rs. 309 recharge pack. This recharge pack will become available for purchase only when the cable hits the market. There are also two sachet packs of Rs. 24 and Rs. 54, with validities of 2 days and 7 days, respectively.

Is the Jio Phone-TV Cable free? Where and when can I buy it?
The JioMediaCable will not be available free, though it is not yet clear how much it will cost. Similarly, there is no clarity at the moment regarding its launch date. However, it is confirmed that the accessory will be available to purchase both online and offline for Jio Phone buyers.

Which apps will work on Jio Phone?
Jio says apart from its own apps, users will get popular instant messaging and social networking apps on the handset. However, WhatsApp – inarguably the most popular messaging app in India – is not present on the KAI OS-based platform at the moment, though it may be added later on. We did catch a glimpse of Facebook on the phone at the launch event, along with PM Narendra Modi’s Mann Ki Baat app. With a VGA camera in front, you can expect video calling apps – JioVideoCall at least – to work on the handset too. Other Jio apps that will be preloaded on the phone are JioShare, JioGames, and a Web browser.



If we are talking about the phone’s software, the device’s HelloJio voice recognition system that supports 22 Indian languages needs to be mentioned as well. According to the demo at the launch event, the voice recognition system will allow users to control certain functions on the phone by saying commands aloud in their vernacular languages. The website says it can make calls, send SMSs, launch the browser and camera apps, and open JioTV, JioCinema, JioMusic etc.

Which languages are supported on the Jio Phone?
The Jio Phone supports 22 Indian languages that should cover most of the regional languages in the country. The full list of languages supported by the Jio Phone (in alphabetical order) is Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santhali, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.

What are the key Jio Phone features and specifications?
Jio Phone has a 2.4-inch display with 320×240 pixel resolution, dual-core 1.2GHz Spreadtrum SPRD 9820A/QC9805 processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal with expansion support up to 128GB, 2-megapixel rear camera, VGA front camera, 2000mAh battery with talk time of 12 hours, NFC for digital payments (software support to be added later), Bluetooth 4.1, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, and USB 2.0 support.

You will get a flashlight, alphanumeric keypad with 4-way navigation button in the middle, FM radio, and headphone jack on the phone. It will also have Microsoft Exchange email support, and allow you to import contacts synced with your Google account. The company says some of these features will be released later via software updates.

India vs Australia 2017

India vs Australia 2017

India’s terrific chase down of a stiff target in the Indore ODI is a reason to rejoice. It confirms that the team is a step closer to forging into a formidable one-day unit.

The successful pursuit revealed that the team has the ability to not only defend a target, but also chase it down and this presents the captain with more options.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya rose to the occasion yet again with a fluent 78-run knock as India registered a comfortable five-wicket win over Australia in the third ODI to grab the number one spot, on Sunday.

Chasing 294 for a win, India overhauled the target with 13 balls to spare in front of a packed Holkar stadium to take a series-clinching 3-0 lead. India chased down the 294-run target in 47.5 overs

It’s the first time in a bilateral ODI series that India have secured three straight wins over Australia. This is also India’s three consecutive home series win against Australia, having won in 2010 and 2013. India dislodged South Africa to top the ICC ODI rankings with 120 points.

Nagpur Metro Rails trial run on September 30

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister for Surface Transport and Shipping Nitin Gadlcari will witness a formal trial run of Nagpur Metro  from Chinchbhuvan to New Airport on September 30 at 12 noon on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashmi.

The team of Nagpur Metro is working hard for the success of the trial run. The formal approval of the Commissioner of Railway Safety is yet to be received. The sanction will be granted only after physical inspection of the Nagpur Metro and only then after formal approval for the commercial operations of the Metro Rail, further steps can be taken.

Fadnavis will also launch a Maha Card for the Metro Services  in Nagpur, in tune with a similar integrated card proposed at Mumbai for seamless travel by any mode of public transport. The commercial operation is likely to start in November end, sources added.

As the first S-kin route of the Metro Rail is ready and internal trial run is quite successful, the Metro Rail authorities have decided to take a formal trial run of in the presence of these two top leaders.

The city has received six coaches and two engines from Hyderabad for trial run of the train. The engines and coaches are to be leased to Nagpur for a period of three years. The trial run in Nagpur will be for a stretch of 5.6 km of the total 39 kms.

The Research Design and Standard Organisation (RDSO) will certify the coaches for running on the track. The work of Nagpur Metro began one and a half years ago under the leadership of Brijesh Dixit and the NMRCL has completed the first phase of this difficult task quite smoothly. The work is Nagpur Metro is going on in full swing and almost 45 per cent work has been completed fill now. The Nagpur Metro is likely to start its full fledged operations from 2019.

Bhoomipujan of the ambitious Dry Port proposed at Wardha would be performed on Oct 2: Nitin Gadkari

Nitin Gadkari

Bhoomipujan of the ambitious Dry Port proposed at Wardha would be performed on Oct 2

Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Surface Transport, Shipping and Water Conservation, announced that the bhoomipujan of the ambitious Dry Port proposed at Wardha would be performed on Oct 2.

Central Government will invest Rs 10,000 crore to create the facility. State Industrial and Investment Corporation of Maharashtra (SICOM) land has been transferred to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) for the Dry Port project. It will be a satellite port of JNPT, Navi Mumbai. The export and import procedure for goods will be the same as at JNPT, said Gadkari.

Gadkari was interacting with reporters during a press conference on Saturday. In the capacity of Union Shipping Minister, he had announced the project in August 2014. The project was proposed on SICOM land, but there was some delay in transfer of the land to JNPT.

Now, that it has been done, the project is all set to take-off and bhoomipujan will be the first step in that direction. It will be beneficial for the entire Vidarbha region as goods worth an estimated Rs 8,500 crore pass through Nagpur annually. With the dry port, and also the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Corridor project, economic activity in the region will get a major boost. This project will help the farmers in stronger market connectivity. He said that he was also working on a project to increase production of Bamboo in the suicide-hit Vidarbha region to improve financial condition of farmers.

Bamboo cultivation has potential to generate employment for 5 lakh people in the districts of Vidarbha region. Bamboo plantation can be useful in making shirts, bed-sheets, furniture, pulp, bio-ethanol, incense sticks, and other purposes. There is a huge demand for bamboo in interior decoration of starred hotels in the country.

Gadkari appreciated Sudhir Mungantiwar, Forest Minister, for waiving the requirement of transit pass during transportation of bamboo in the State. This will boost bamboo production in Maharashtra, Gadkari said. Farmers can produce 200 tonnes of bamboo in one acre of land and earn Rs 25,000/- per tonne, Gadkari said. Presently, India is importing timber worth Rs 40,000 crore and incense sticks worth Rs 4,000 crore.

Bamboo can be used for protection of crops in farms. The tribals of Gadchiroli district can earn huge money from bamboo cultivation. The Government can use abandoned mines for large-scale plantation of bamboo.

Inter Model Station in Ajni, Multi model logistics hub coming up in Khapri Nagpur

Inter Model Station in Ajni

Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Shipping and Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation Nitin Gadkari and chief minister Devendra Fadnavis have finalized that the Inter Model Station in Ajni and the Multi model logistic hub will be constructed at Khapri. Totally, both will cost an estimated Rs 1,400 crore.

Fadnavis said that the Central Jail will be Inter Model Station in Ajni, Multi model logistics hub coming up in Khapri Nagpurshifted out of the city making available 150 acres in the heart of Nagpur. Gadkari added that the four road corridors from city to Indore, Raipur, Solapur and Surat will be connected under the central government’s Bharat Mala Scheme.

These decisions were taken at a meeting organized with the officials of Bharat Mala Scheme, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and Mahametro in the city on Friday.

In April, Gadkari had announced plans to develop IMS — a centralized and integrated infrastructure facility linking bus stop, metro station and railway station in the city and PM Narendra Modi’s assembly constituency of Varanasi. Then, he had said it would be either at Ajni or Khapri.

Indian Railways has 450 acres land at Ajni. IMS requires 50-60 acres land. Ajni has a railway station and the construction of Metro rail station is also going on close by. The city bus service can be easily connected to Ajni. Also, the airport is closer to Ajni. The IMS will have a multi-level parking and also commercial shops.

Gadkari said HPCL was shifting its depot from Khapri to outside the city “so that land can be an ideal place for a logistic hub”.

Gadkari directed Mahametro managing director Brijesh Dixit to prepare a plan for Metro rail phase-II extending the network to Kanhan, Butibori, Koradi and Kapsi. “I will ensure commercial place is made available for extension of Metro rail corridors. The NHAI is constructing a new bridge on Kanhan river. Mahametro should consult NHAI and include a Metro rail corridor on it to prevent from additional expense in future,” he said.

In Central Government’s budget already Rs 1,600 crore fund reserved for both projects as it require Rs 1,400 crore. The Inter-Modal Station projects require Rs 975 crore and Multi-Modal Logistic Park in Khapri required Rs 425 crore respectively. Inter-Modal Station in Ajni will play a major role for this project.

Pakistan is terroristan: India at United Nations in strong reply to Pak PM’s speech

Pakistan is terroristan

Pakistan is terroristan

Pakistan is terroristan, Hitting back sharply at Pakistan at the United Nations, New Delhi slammed Islamabad for being “synonymous with terrorism”.

Making use of its right-to-reply, India’s First Secretary to the United Nations, Eenam Gambhir said, “Pakistan has become terroristan”.

Gambhir’s statement came as India exercised its right to reply to Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s speech at the UN General Assembly, where he raked up the Kashmir issue and accused India of “terrorism against Pakistan”.

“By now, all Pakistans neighbours are painfully familiar with these tactics to create a narrative based on distortions, deception and deceit,” Gambhir said, asserting that efforts at creating alternative facts do not change reality.

Hitting back, India reminded Pakistan and the United Nations of terrorists, including 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, who continue to enjoy safe havens in the neighbouring country. New Delhi also pointed out that Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar were both found to have been living in Pakistan.

“It is extraordinary that the state which protected Osama Bin Laden and sheltered Mullah Omar should have the gumption to play the victim…. Its current state can be gauged from the fact that Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, a leader of the UN designated terrorist organization Lashkar-i-Taiba, is now sought to be legitimised as a leader of a political party,” Eenam Gambhir said.

She said, can justify Pakistan’s avaricious efforts to covet territories of its neighbours. “In so far as India is concerned, Pakistan must understand that the state of Jammu and Kashmir is and will always remain an integral part of India. However much it scales up cross-border terrorism, it will never succeed in undermining India’s territorial integrity.”

Ms Gambhir also said Pakistan, after diverting billions of dollars in aid towards creating a dangerous infrastructure of terror, was “the polluter paying the price”.

“Even as terrorists thrive in Pakistan and roam its streets with impunity, we have heard it lecture about human rights in India. The world does not need lessons on democracy and human rights from a country whose own situation is charitably described as a failed state,” she said.

2nd ODI: Kuldeep Yadav hat-trick helps India crush Australia in Kolkata

2nd ODI

India rode on Virat Kohli’s 92 and Kuldeep Yadav’s hat-trick to beat Australia by 50 runs in 2nd ODI of the five-match ODI series at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday, September 21. The Men in Blue now have taken a 2-0 lead in the series.

Chasing a tricky total of 253 on a two-paced wicket, Australia got off to a worst possible start as Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed openers David Warner and Hilton Cartwright early. However, skipper Steve Smith and Travis Head, who was gifted a life after Rohit Sharma dropped him on 15, stitched a 76-run stand.

 

Virat Kohli’s Team India completed a 50-run win over Australia in the second ODI here on Thursday, thanks to a sensational hat-trick from Kuldeep Yadav. Having decided to bat, India lost Rohit Sharma early, but Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane took the team forward, finishing the innings at 252 all out.

Both Kohli (92) and Rahane (55) got out during the innings, with the former being eight short of his 31st ODI ton. For the Aussie bowlers, Nathan-Coulter-Nile and Kane Richardson picked up three wickets, while Pat Cummins and Ashton Agar picked one each.

In reply in 2nd ODI, the Aussies never looked settled, after having lost openers Hilton Cartwright and David Warner early. But, captain Steve Smith’s 59 in his 100th ODI gave hope for the visitors. Marcus Stoinis, too, joined the party by scoring his maiden fifty, but Kane Richardson’s departure courtesy the final wicket for Bhuvneshwar denied Australia the match.

Australia will have one last chance to step up in this series when the two teams now head to Indore for the third ODI on Sunday.

Kuldeep Yadav becomes 3rd Indian to take an ODI hat-trick

Kuldeep Yadav becomes 3rd Indian to take an ODI hat-trick

Kolkata: Kuldeep Yadav became the third Indian after Chetan Sharma and Kapil Dev to bag an ODI hat-trick.

Kuldeep, bowling his eighth over, dismissed Matthew Wade, Ashton Agar and Pat Cummins off successive deliveries in the 33rd over of the Australian innings to derail their chase of 253 in the second ODI at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Playing only his ninth ODI, Kuldeep was under pressure, having conceded 39 runs in 7 overs in a low-scoring affair.
However, with constant tactical supervision from MS Dhoni behind the stumps, Kuldeep continued to unleash his variety and put Australia under pressure.

Eventually in his eighth over, Kuldeep ripped apart Australia’s lower-order as India took a stanglehold of the match.

Kuldeep stormed into the international scene earlier this year in the Dharamsala Test against Australia when he replaced an injured Virat Kohli. His impressive spells against the visitors left observers impressed.

Later in 2017, Kuldeep made his ODI debut in the West Indies and snared eight wickets by the end of the series. In Sri Lanka, the left-arm chinaman spinner took three wickets from the last two ODIs he played in.

Incidentally, Kuldeep achieved the feat in his IPL homeground. He plays for two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders and is an integral part of their bowling attack.

Navratri 2017: Fasts during Navratri, Puja, Nine different names in Navratri

Navratri 2017 Fasts during Navratri Puja Nine different names in Navratri

Navratri 2017 Fasts during Navratri: Puja, Nine different names in Navratri

Navratri marks the beginning of the nine-day festival devoted to goddess Durga. It is believed that during the course of these nine days, goddess Durga visits our home in her nine forms. The nine-day long festival comprises of fasting, daily pujas and participation in events. While the festival comes every autumn, it also commemorates Lord Rama’s victory of killing Ravana.

Northern part of India participates in this festival. People fast for nine days and refrain from eating daily food items like rice and Indian bread. This year Sharad Navratri will be between 21st September to 29th September. A major festival in the Indian transcripts, Navratri is the beginning of a host of festivals like Dussehra and Diwali. Goddess Durga is the symbol of power, prosperity, wealth, and health and hence nine forms of Durga are celebrated during this time.  Along with Goddess Durga (and her other forms like Goddess Shakti), her daughters Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Saraswati are also worshipped during Navratri. Devotional music like bhajan renditions and also the garba dance in Gujarat mark Navratri celebrations.

Navratri Fasting you need to do:

  • Take a bath every day. You need to keep yourself clean at all times.
  • Stick to the Navratri diet which includes nuts, fruits, dairy products like milk and butter and selected flours
  • Read the shlokas from Durga chalisa or any mantras you know of and devote them to Goddess Durga.
  • At the end of the nine-day festival, serve food to girls as goddess Durga is known to reside in them.
  • Do not keep your home dirty. Keep it clean at all times possible.
  • No consumption of alcohol, drugs, eggs, non-vegetarian food, onions, garlic during this period.
  • Another popular belief during this time is not to cut your hair.
  • It is also believed that cutting nails or stitching during this time should be avoided.

Goddess Durga is Worshipped under nine different names in Navratri :

  • Shailputri: After self-immolation in Her form as Sati, the Mother Goddess took birth as the daughter of Lord Himalaya. In Sanskrit, Shail means “the mountain”, due to which this form is known as Shailputri, the daughter of the mountain.
  • Brahmacharini: Mother Goddess took birth at the home of Daksha Prajapati, as his daughter, Sati, who was born to marry Shiva. This unmarried form of the Mother Goddess is worshipped as Brahmacharini.
  • Chandraghanta: Goddess Chandraghanta is the married form of the Mother Goddess following on from Shailputri and Mahagauri. After getting married to Shiva, Goddess Mahagauri started adorning her forehead with a half moon(Chandra) shaped like a bell(Ghanta) due to which, she became known as Goddess Chandraghanta.
  • Kuchmanda: Mother Goddess started living within the Sun thereby liberating the Sun’s energy to the universe. Since then, this form of the Goddess has been known as Kushmanda, namely for her power and capability to live inside the Sun. The glow and radiance of her body is as luminous as that of the Sun.
  • Skand Mata: In her form as mother of the God of War, Lord Skanda(also known as Kartikeya), she is known as Goddess Skandamata.
  • Katyayani: To destroy demon Mahishasura.
  • Kalratri: This is the fiercest and the most ferocious form of the Mother Goddess, in which she manifests to destroy the demons, Sumbha and Nisumbha.
  • Maha Gauri: According to Hindu Religion, the Goddess Shailputri at the age of sixteen was extremely beautiful and blessed with a fair complexion. Due to her extremely fair complexion, she was known as Goddess Mahagauri.
  • Siddhidatri: In the beginning of the universe, Lord Rudra worshipped the unmanifest form of the Mother Goddess, Adi Parashakti for creation. As Adi Parashakti, the Mother Goddess was pure energy and had no form. She thus appeared in the form of Siddhidatri from the left half of Shiva.

All Indians are safe in Mexico

All Indians are safe in Mexico which was rocked by powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake that claimed 230 lives, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said.

“I have spoken to our Ambassador in Mexico. All Indians are safe,” Ms Swaraj tweeted.

Ms Swaraj, who is in New York for the 72nd annual session of the UN General Assembly, said India stands with Mexico in this hour of grief.

“My deepest condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives in the second earthquake in Mexico,” she said.

At least 230 people were killed when a powerful 7.1- magnitude earthquake struck Mexico, including 21 children crushed beneath an elementary school that was reduced to rubble.

The destruction revived horrific memories in Mexico on the anniversary of another massive quake in 1985, the disaster-prone country’s deadliest ever.

This was the second major earthquake to hit the tremor-prone country in as many weeks. On September 7, an earthquake of magnitude 8.1 struck off the southern coast of Mexico, killing at least 90 people.

As rescuers clawed through the debris looking for survivors early Thursday morning, volunteers brought water and food amid the chaos. Soldiers, rescuers and medics didn’t stop working despite the rain and the risk of a further collapse.

Tuesday earthquake was centered about 75 miles southeast of Mexico City and caused extensive damage, leveling at least 44 buildings, including homes, schools and office buildings, according to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who did a flyover of the city Tuesday afternoon.

President Donald Trump spoke with Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto Wednesday to extend condolences for the lives lost and the damage caused by the earthquake, the White House said in a statement. Trump also offered assistance and search and rescue teams, which are being deployed now.
