New Delhi: A massive political fight has been reignited by French portal Mediapart’s new report on alleged kickbacks paid between 2007 and 2012 to a middleman involved in the Rafale deal, and on the CBI allegedly failing to investigate these allegations despite receiving documents.
The ruling BJP today attacked the Congress over alleged corruption on its watch before 2014. At the same time, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra led their party in accusing the government of a “cover-up” on corruption.
“INC (Indian National Congress) means ‘I need Commission’. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Robert Vadra, all say ‘I need commission’,” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said.
“Let Rahul Gandhi answer from Italy – why did you and your party try to spread lies about Rafale all these years? Now it has been revealed that their own government was in power in 2007 to 2012 when commissions were paid, in which a middleman’s name has also come up,” Mr Patra said.
The Congress said: “The latest revelations in Operation Cover-up reveal the dubious nexus between (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi government-CBI-Enforcement Directorate to bury the Rafale Corruption.”
Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi also posted tweets sharing news articles on the Rafale report.
Mediapart has said in its latest report that French plane-maker Dassault paid at least 7.5 million euros (nearly ₹ 650 million) in bribes to a middleman to help secure the sale of 36 Rafale fighter jets to India and that Indian agencies like the CBI and Enforcement Directorate failed to investigate it despite the presence of documents.
Mediapart, which been investigating allegations of corruption in the ₹ 59,000 crore Rafale deal, said the bulk of the alleged payments were made before 2013.
NDTV cannot independently verify the authenticity of these documents and has reached out to the CBI for comment.
Mediapart has published alleged false invoices that it says enabled Dassault to pay secret commissions to alleged middleman Sushen Gupta. The CBI and the Enforcement Directorate have had proof since October 2018, but have failed to act, it said.
The invoices and bank statements obtained by the CBI also show that Sushen Gupta’s shell company received 914,488 euros between 2002 and 2006 – till 2004, the BJP-led NDA-1 was in power.
The Congress-led UPA was in power between 2004 and 2014. The 36-jet Rafale deal was signed on September 23, 2016, after a seven-year exercise involving 126 aircraft for the Indian Air Force did not materialise during the UPA regime.
Mediapart’s investigation on “Rafale papers” triggered a judicial investigation in France in July into allegations of corruption, influence peddling and favouritism.
Sushen Gupta is accused of receiving bribes from AgustaWestland through a shell company registered in Mauritius, Interstellar Technologies, to seal a deal to supply 12 VVIP choppers for India.
To facilitate investigations, Mauritius agreed to send documents related to the company to the CBI and Enforcement Directorate. The documents were sent to the CBI on October 11, 2018.
According to the portal, this is when it was discovered that Sushen Gupta also acted as an intermediary for Dassault over the Rafale deal. The report says Gupta’s Interstellar Technologies “received at least 7.5 million euros from the French aviation firm between 2007 and 2012, thanks to IT contracts that were clearly overbilled, and from which most of the money was discreetly sent to Mauritius using a system of alleged false invoices. Some of these invoices even got the name of the French company wrong, referring to “Dassult” Aviation.
Mediapart says the Mauritian documents cover the period of the bid process that was eventually won by Dassault (2007 – 2012), when the Congress was in power. “Whereas the complaint filed on October 4, 2018, targets suspicious activity that took place from 2015, when the deal was being finalised on the authority of the current BJP Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” says the site.

Nagpur: On the occasion of World Stroke Day, Wockhardt Hospitals Nagpur has taken a great initiative to start a “Stroke Support Group”. The group has been started with an aim to create a sense of motivation among stroke survivors and spread awareness among the masses.
Dr. Amit Bhatti, Consultant Interventional Neurologist, and Stroke Specialist will be guiding the project. The day marks the felicitation of those who recovered from stroke- “the stroke conquerors”. The group will meet quarterly and discuss their experience with stroke and stories of their own survival & treatment.
“Time is of the essence in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke because when a stroke occurs due to a clot, about 1.9 million neurons die every minute until medication or interventional neurological procedures clears up the clot that’s blocking or reducing blood flow to the affected brain area. The sooner you get to the hospital, the better” said Dr. Bhatti. Interventional Neurology is a highly specialized branch of neurology for which only a few consultants are available in the region and Dr. Amit Bhatti is one of them.
While speaking on the occasion, Dr. Bhatti also emphasized the causes of stroke, its prevention, and the importance of immediate medical care in the case early signs are witnessed in a patient. An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients due to which brain cells are also known as neurons start to die in minutes.
Stroke is a medical emergency, and prompt treatment is crucial. Early intervention can reduce brain damage and other complications. To identify the early signs of stroke, the acronym BE FAST (Balance, Eyesight, Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties, and Time) is being used. Anyone who has these symptoms should be considered to have been suffering from an acute stroke and must seek a stroke-ready hospital where expert stroke care is available around a clock.
During the event Centre Head Mr. Abhinandan Dastenavar said that Wockhardt Hospitals are taking a new step in the direction of achieving a new milestone every day. “We have been known for handling high-end cases, not just in the city but the entire region, and stroke is one of them. We are launching this support group to spread awareness among the people and ensure that they know the importance of time when it comes to stroke. They are sharing their experiences and learning”, he added.
A special guest at the event was patient Mrs. Prerna Suryawanshi who was treated for a stroke in Wockhardt Hospital. She shared her experience in the event and thanked the entire team of the hospital for contributing to saving her life.
During the launch of this support group, its first session was held simultaneously in which patients expressed their journey towards fighting stroke and winning the battle.
Wockhardt, a stroke-ready hospital, is also having a dedicated stroke team. This event was concluded by felicitating the stroke staff with certification who have received special training for the same.
Diwali 2021 : कोरोना संकटात संपूर्ण देशभरात दिवाळी आनंदानं पण साधेपणाने साजरी केली जाणार आहे. सध्या राज्यात कोरोनाच्या प्रादुर्भावात मोठ्या प्रमाणावर घट झाली असून प्रशासनाकडूनही अनेक निर्बंध शिथील करण्यात आले आहेत.त्यामुळे यंदाची दिवाळी आनंदात आणि उत्साहात साजरी होणार आहे. सगळीकडे दिवाळीची तयारी सुरु आहे. अशातच आजपासून दिवाळीला सुरुवात होत आहे.
आज गोवत्स द्वादशी म्हणजेच, वसुबारस . अश्विन कृष्ण द्वादशीस वसुबारस साजरी केले जाते. गोवत्सद्वादशी म्हणजे, गाई-गुरांबददल कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करण्याचा दिवस. वसु म्हणजे द्रव्य अर्थात धन त्यासाठी असलेली बारस म्हणजेच, द्वादशी म्हणून या दिवसाला गोवत्स द्वादशी असे म्हणतात.
भारतीय संस्कृतीत गायीला मातेचा दर्जा देण्यात आला असून, ती पूजनीय मानली गेली आहे. तिच्याप्रतीच्या कृतज्ञतेतून वसुबारस या दिवशी गाय आणि तिचे वासरू यांची पूजा केली जाते. आश्विन वद्य द्वादशी, या तिथीला वसुबारस किंवा गोवत्स द्वादशी असे म्हणतात. समुद्रमंथनातून पाच कामधेनू उत्पन्न झाल्या, अशी कथा आहे. त्यातल्या नंदा नावाच्या धेनूला उद्देशून वसुबारस हे व्रत करण्यात येतं. या दिवशी सौभाग्यवती स्त्रिया सकाळी अथवा सायंकाळी सवत्स गायीची पूजा करतात.
वसुबारस व्रत :
या दिवसापासून अंगणात रांगोळी काढून दिवाळी सणाची सुरुवात होते. या दिवशी तेलातुपात तळलेले पदार्थ आणि गायीचे दूध, तूप व ताक खात नाहीत. उडदाचे वडे, भात व गोडधोडाचे पदार्थ करून ते गायीला खाऊ घालतात. घरात लक्ष्मी देवीचे आगमन व्हावे या हेतूनेही या दिवशी वासरू असलेल्या गायीची पूजा करण्याची पद्धत आहे. घरातील सवाष्ण बायका गायीच्या पायावर पाणी घालतात. हळद-कुंकू आणि अक्षता वाहतात. ज्यांच्या घरी गुरे, वारसे आहेत, त्यांच्या घरी पुरणाचा स्वयंपाक केला जातो. मग गाईला निरांजनाने ओवाळून केळीच्या पानावर पुरणाचा नैवेद्य खायला दिला जातो. समुद्रमंथनातून उत्पन्न झालेल्या नंदा नावाच्या धेनूला उद्देशून हे व्रत आहे.
वसुबारस म्हणजेच गोवत्सद्वादशी हा दिवस दिवाळीला जोडून येतो, म्हणून त्याचा समावेश दिवाळीतही केला जातो. पण तंस पाहायला गेलं तर, तो सण वेगळा असल्याचं सांगण्यात येतं. मात्र, देशातील बहुतांश ठिकाणी वसुबारसेपासूनच दिवाळीला सुरुवात होते, हा दिवाळीचा पहिला दिवा असतो, असं मानलं जातं. यंदा सोमवार, म्हणजेच, 01 नोव्हेंबर 2021 रोजी निज अश्विन कृष्ण द्वादशी म्हणजे वसुबारस आहे. वसुबारस या शब्दातील वसू म्हणजे धन (द्रव्य), त्यासाठी असलेली बारस म्हणजे द्वादशी.
यंदाच्या दिवाळीचे महत्त्वाचे दिवस :
वसुबारस : निज अश्विन कृष्ण द्वादशी – 1 नोव्हेंबर, 2021
धनत्रयोदशी : निज अश्विन कृष्ण त्रयोदशी – 2 नोव्हेंबर, 2021

INDIA: With the festival of lights fast approaching, and the excitement beginning to rise, people are gearing up to celebrate Diwali with fervor and happiness. Marked by earthen diyas, colorful rangolis, twinkling fairy lights, delicious food, and family get-togethers, Diwali, for many Indians is one of the most awaited festivals of the year. A very important aspect of Diwali is the age-old tradition of exchanging gifts. Though there’s nothing sweeter than spending Diwali with your loved ones, thoughtful and carefully selected gifts add more value and meaning to the festivities. Almonds are known to be the gift of good health, as they are a source of 15 nutrients including vitamin E, dietary fiber, protein, riboflavin, manganese, folate, etc. Years of scientific research have also shown that regular almond consumption can provide a variety of benefits across areas of heart health, diabetes, skin health, and weight management.
Leading Bollywood actress, Soha Ali Khan, said, “As things in India open up slowly and steadily, I’m looking forward to celebrating a safe Diwali with my family and loved ones. An important part of the festivities is exchanging gifts, and I make it a point to share gifts that promote a healthy lifestyle. Almonds have been and continue to be a top choice for me as they are versatile and nutritious. They can be easily included in various Indian recipes, eaten as a snack when hungry, or served to guests as a part of the festive spread. Added to that, almonds are also known to provide immunity supporting nutrients like zinc, folate, vitamin E, and iron, which makes them a great gift for anyone and everyone.”
According to Ritika Samaddar, the Regional Head-Dietetics, Max Healthcare – Delhi, “Diwali celebrations mean a lot of sweets and fried foods. But a gift of almonds conveys wishes of good health to loved ones and promotes healthy living throughout the festival. Almonds are especially known for supporting heart health. According to a study, snacking on 42 grams of almonds every day significantly helped reduce bad LDL cholesterol while reducing central adiposity (belly fat) and waist circumference, all well-established heart disease risk factors. So, this Diwali, be sure to gift almonds, which are known as the gift of good health.”
Fitness and Celebrity Instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala added, “Diwali is a wonderful occasion to connect with loved ones and make new memories. But with the back-to-back celebrations for almost a month due to Navratri, Dussehra, Durga Puja and now Diwali, many lose track of their sense of routine and health. Be sure to avoid this by dedicating 30 mins – 1 hour to exercise every day even amidst the preparations. This could be something simple like going for a walk, a home workout, or hitting the gym for your workout. Besides this, make sure you share nutritious gifts like almonds with friends and family. Almonds are a source of protein and fiber which makes them a healthy and satiating snack, that can come handy in between meals, and might help curtail overindulgence.”
Integrative Nutritionist and Health Coach, Neha Ranglani, mentioned, “Diwali celebrations mean a lot of preparation, planning, and get-togethers, all of which require us to keep our energy levels at their optimal best. My suggestion is – keep a handful of almonds nearby to snack on when hunger strikes, to keep yourself energized through the day to take on the festivities.”
Sheela Krishnaswamy, Nutrition and Wellness Consultant, shared, “Traditionally, during festivals and special occasions, almonds have been perceived as an auspicious gift. Gifting almonds is like gifting good health. It embodies the care and concern of the gift giver. Gifts like almonds, will not only serve as a nutritious and delicious snack, but the gesture itself is representative of your interest in the receiver’s and their family’s overall health.”
So, combine the best of tradition with good health and include almonds in your Diwali traditions and gifting this year!
New Delhi: Congress’s Rahul Gandhi welcomed the Supreme Court order for a probe into the Pegasus spyware row, saying the opposition is “vindicated” since the judges have made the points it was flagging. “We protested, but no reply. We stopped Parliament, but we still did not get a reply. Now our stand is vindicated. So, our questions remain the same,” Mr. Gandhi said.
“Who authorized Pegasus? Who has bought Pegasus? Who are the victims of Pegasus snooping? Who all have been attacked? Did any other nation have data on our people? What all information do they have? These are the 3 basic questions we had asked,” Mr. Gandhi told reporters today.
The opposition, he said, will push for a debate again in parliament. “Surely the BJP will not want that discussion, but we will push for it. The matter is in court now and the court will take it forward, but we will push for a debate in Parliament.
Pegasus, he said, can only be bought by a government, and “either the Prime Minister or Home Minister had given the go-ahead”.
“If the PM of the nation colluded with another nation and attacked its own citizens — which included the Chief Justice, former PMs, and other Chief Ministers, leaders of opposition parties, then this is an attack on the nation,” he added.

Mumbai, October 25, 2021
‘Into the wild with Bear Grylls’, a discovery+ exclusive that has been one of the highly anticipated shows this October, is almost here to keep you at the edge of your seat! World-renowned adventurist Bear Grylls will be seen joining hands with India’s evergreen action hero, Ajay Devgn for an adventure-packed journey. Tune in for this nail-biting experience as the duo navigates through the high seas and explores a remote island in the Indian ocean amidst sharks and other hazards!
Select excerpts from the show:
Ajay Devgn recalls his journey as an action hero and more in conversation with Bear Grylls
Ajay said “Yeah, I’ve done a lot of stunts because when we started doing stunts in films, there were no harnesses. So, we had to jump from 30 or 40 feet. You had to land on boxes and most of the time you used to break our ankles or something or the other. No crash mats when you used to fall on the ground. So, we used to do the real stuff.”
Ajay Devgn opens up about losing his father
Ajay spoke about his father “It is tough losing your parents. Because in the first 20 years of your life, you don’t care for them. You think they are stupid. They don’t know anything. You know everything. And by the time you have children you start realizing what a parent actually is or what they must have done. And sometimes it gets too late also.” He added “He was suffering from Alzheimer’s and a lot of injuries because of the stunts. He had to go through glass once when he was young, and he had 45 stitches on his head because that time glass break was real glass break.”
Ajay Devgn on Bear Grylls teaching him a survival technique
After a tiring journey crossing the ocean to reach the island, Bear and Ajay set out to find some much-needed nutrition for themselves. They find a scrap plastic container on the island with which Bear as always has an ingenious idea to catch fish with, he said “So the whole point of this is like we make a hole for the fish to go into. Then we’ll stuff it full of palm fronds and branches. So… It’s like a funnel so that the fish can go into it, but then it kinda gets stuck in it. So as long as there’s a whole bunch of the leaves and ferns inside there, if we can get a fish to go in, they then won’t be able to get out. So, you want it easy for them to go in and hard to get out. It’s almost like a funnel. for it to go in the middle there.” To make sure that they don’t go hungry, they add a few crabs in the container as bait. Ajay astonished by this technique said “I think maine kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ki main aisa kuch karunga life mein survival ke bhi kaafi cheezein seekhain ki agar aap kahin fas jaate ho yah na bhi phaste ho toh kisi bhi cheez ko uthakar kaise use kiya ja sakta hai. So, I think I’m very, very happy that I’m here.”
Ajay Devgn and Bear Grylls put together a makeshift rescue raft
While venturing out into the open sea, hoping to be spotted and rescued by local fishermen’s boats, Bear and Ajay make a raft with whatever they can salvage from the island. Upon completion of the raft Bear bestows the privilege upon Ajay to name the raft, Bear further asks him what his daughter’s name is? To which Ajay replies ‘Nysa’ and without much thought, they decide to name their rescue raft after Ajay’s daughter!
Bollywood icons Kajol, Anil Kapoor and Rohit Shetty motivate and challenge Ajay for his expedition on ‘Into the Wild with Bear Grylls’
Ajay’s loved ones have special messages for him which are shared by Bear Grylls at various stages of the show. The ones who motivate and wish him luck in the episode include Kajol, Anil Kapoor, and Rohit Shetty.
Indian film Director, Producer, and Television host Rohit Shetty said, “Yeh theek nahi kiya boss aapne. Mere ko chhod ke aap Bear ke saath chale gaye! Huh? Ab logon ne itna sara stunt karte hue aapko dekha hai itne saalon se aur wo bhi uss jamane se jab special effects nahi tha. Ek challenge doo? Koi aisi cheez banado jisse aap aur Bear is island se nikal sako. Lekin haan, apni filmon kee tarah yeh bhi ek blockbuster stunt hona chahiye. So, all the best.”
Wishing Ajay Devgn luck for his expedition, actor Anil Kapoor said, “Bear my friend, make Ajay do all crazy things and make him go wild. And Ajay, mere dost, I know jo tu karta hai usme tu apna 100 percent deta hai. And I know you’ll ace this experience too. Meri Ek baat yaad rakhna mere dost Jahan Bear tumhe le ja raha hai waha na koi Golmaal chalega na Bol Bachchan, Sirf tera survival. So, Ajay, lots of strength to you and I wish you all the best in this awesome adventure. And make this experience an experience of a lifetime. All the best!”
Spilling the beans on unknown facts about Ajay Devgn, Kajol said “Let me start by saying that there are a few secrets that not everybody may know about Ajay. One of them is that he is a fabulous cook. And number two is that he is borderline OCD about touching anything with his fingers. According to him, it’s because he just can’t get the smell out of his fingers. Whatever that means! Anyway, so… My challenge to him is that he has to be made to touch and eat the smelliest, grossest, slimiest thing that you think of Bear and let me see if he lives up to it.”

Nagpur: On one hand, when the country is witnessing a decline in the number of Covid infection cases, a new infection- aspergillus fungi, is being discovered in Post- Covid patients. After black fungus in lungs, yellow fungus in eyes, this is another recently discovered complication of the dreaded virus which causes bone damage to the spinal-discs spaces.
Dr. Vaibhav Agrawal, Consultant- Internal Medicine and Critical Care informed that the cases of this infection are on a gradual increase. “We have started getting few such patients in hospitals where the covid recovered patients are complaining of mild fever and back pain”, said Dr. Agrawal. “This new infection, called aspergillus osteomyelitis, has led to severe bone damage to the spinal-discs spaces of a patient”, he added.
Dr. Agrawal also informed that Aspergillosis is an infection caused by a type of mold or fungus called Aspergillus. This fungus is commonly found in the environment but does not lead to any kind of infection in a healthy individual. However, when a person with compromised immunity or lung infection breathes the spores they may develop allergic reactions and lung infections due to it. In severe cases, it can even spread to blood vessels and beyond. The symptoms of this new fungal infection depend on the type of aspergillosis a person is infected with. Different types of aspergillosis affect the body in different ways. Here are some common types and symptoms of this fungal infection.
The symptoms of this infection include:
• Fever and chills
• Shortness of breath
• Coughing with blood
• Headaches or eye symptoms
• Fatigue
• Skin lesions
• Joint Pain
So, if you have recovered from Covid recently, and have a persisting backache, contact your doctor immediately and get an MRI scan done. If detected and treated early, you might be spared of most agonizing complications.
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a nation today after the country crossed a massive milestone of 100 crore Covid vaccinations, said it was “not just a number” but the symbol of the country’s ability and of “new India”. India’s critics had been silenced, he said, tacking the vaccination record onto Diwali cheer and a sense of optimism across sectors.
“100 crore vaccine jabs is just not a number. It is the reflection of the capacity of this country. This is a new chapter for the country, a country that knows how to achieve huge targets,” PM Modi said in his tenth address to the nation since the Covid pandemic broke out last year.
“Everyone questioned whether India will be able to do it. 100 crore vaccine shots is an answer to all the questions,” he said.
The country, he said, had only one mantra — that if the disease does not discriminate, then vaccination cannot either. “That is why we ensured that the vaccine drive was not overtaken by VIP culture,” said the Prime Minister.
India administered its one billionth vaccine dose on Thursday, months after cases and deaths peaked in the second surge of Covid that ambushed the country’s health infrastructure.
About three-quarters of adults in the country of 1.3 billion people have had one shot and 30 percent are fully vaccinated, according to government figures.
With no mention of the deadly second wave, the Prime Minister focused on what he called the positives of the vaccination record and also weaved in his government’s taglines of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat”, “Swachch Bharat Abhiyan” and “Vocal for Local”.
“Last Diwali, everyone was tense. But this Diwali, 100 crore jabs have given the country faith and belief. During Diwali, the economy is on a high. 100 crore vaccine doses will therefore help our small workers and small businesses. It is a ray of light for everyone,” he said.
Along with vaccine coverage, he said, there was “festivity and optimism everywhere” and the economy was also recovering.
“Experts are very positive about the Indian economy. There is employment for the young but there are also unicorns will record capital. From Gati Shakti to new drone rules, the economy will get a boost,” he said.
The Prime Minister also tackled criticism of some of his past addresses during the pandemic, including his call for clapping and clanging utensils to honour frontline health workers in the early days of the outbreak.
People said how taali thalli will help eradicate the virus. But it was a reflection of people’s participation and capacity. This success reflects the important place of technology that not even big nations have today. Our vaccine programme is a result of technology. It is science-born, science-driven and science-based. Science and scientific approach are at the heart of it,” he said.
He said the war, however, was not over yet and it was still too soon to lay down arms – a reference to the pandemic. He urged Indians to adopt the mask as a way of life. “Like we wear shoes, we should make it a habit of wearing masks,” he said.
Facebook Plans To Change Its Name: Report: Social media giant Facebook Inc is planning to rebrand itself with a new name next week, The Verge reported on Tuesday, citing a source with direct knowledge of the matter.
Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg plans to talk about the name change at the company’s annual Connect conference on Oct. 28, but it could be unveiled sooner, the Verge reported.
In response, Facebook said it does not comment on “rumor or speculation.”
The news comes at a time when the company is facing increasing U.S. government scrutiny over its business practices. Lawmakers from both parties have excoriated the company, illustrating the rising anger in Congress with Facebook.
The rebranding would position Facebook’s social media app as one of many products under a parent company, which will also oversee groups like Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, and more, the Verge report added.
It’s not uncommon in Silicon Valley for companies to change their names as they bid to expand their services.
Google established Alphabet Inc as a holding company in 2015 to expand beyond its search and advertising businesses, to oversee various other ventures ranging from its autonomous vehicle unit and health technology to providing internet services in remote areas.
