Naperville – Changed into INDIA outside INDIA More than ten thousand Indian-Americans from all over the state arrived at the venue much in advance. Many out of state cars indicated the participation in the event from near and far both. The young and old both adorned colorful Indian dresses and head gears depicting culture and traditions from different states of India. The toddlers, kids, children and youth were glowing in Sunny Summer of August with pride of nationalism and patriotism. Though most of the IndianAmericans present at event were born much after the Independence in 1947, still they knew about the struggle and sacrifice their fore fathers have gone through and were emotional about the history of Struggle for Independence. This year many Indians brought along their friends and associates from other ethnicity to showcase Indian pride, culture, dresses, music and celebration of Independence Day of India.

Can Trump be impeached now?
Within the space of an hour this week, Paul Manafort convicted of 8 counts of bank and tax fraud by a jury as Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to eight felony counts of his own IANS, WASHINGTON
‘President closer to impeachment’
I
n a setback to Donald Trump, his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and exlawyer Michael Cohen have been convicted of fraud, with the latter implicating the US President over campaign finance violations. Within the space of an hour this week, Manafort was convicted of eight counts of bank and tax fraud by a jury in Alexandria, Virginia. However, Judge T.S. Ellis declared a mistrial over the 10 other charges Manafort faced, with the jurors unable to come to a decision. Meanwhile, in New York, Cohen pleaded guilty to eight felony counts of his own, including campaign finance violations ahead of the 2016 presidential election as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors. Cohen, one of Trump’s closest associates for more than a decade, said he arranged to make payments “for (the) principal purpose of influencing the election” at the direction of a “candidate” for federal office. He did not give the candidate’s name although he was working for Trump at the time. The 51-year-old told the judge

in the Manhattan courtroom that he was aware of what he was doing before pleading guilty to the charges, admitting that the “candidate” had directed him to arrange payments to two women during the 2016 campaign to keep them from speaking publicly about their affairs with him, CNN reported. Cohen admitted to paying hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 and also to conspiring with a media company, perceived as the publisher of The
National Enquirer, to silence another woman, former Playboy model Karen McDougal. Both Daniels and McDougal allege that Trump engaged in extramarital sexual relationships with them. The White House has denied the claims. Amid the parallel dramas in federal courthouses, the President was at first silent as he traveled to a campaign rally in West Virginia. But then he broke his silence after Air Force One landed.
WASHINGTON: A former adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign has issued a warning that the US President could be just months away from facing impeachment because of his former personal attorney Michael Cohen’s guilty plea. “This is all they (Democrats) need for impeachment,” Michael Caputo said during a CNN interview on Wednesday night. Caputo was a communications adviser during Trump’s 2016 run for the presidency. “If the Democrats take over the House during the midterm elections, this indication coming out of the Southern District of New York, this charge, is enough for them to run an impeachment against the President, even in the first quarter.” Cohen pleaded guilty to eight felony counts this week that included tax fraud, false statements to a bank and campaign finance violations tied to his work for Trump, including payments Cohen made that were designed to silence women who claimed earlier affairs.
“Paul Manafort is a good man,” Trump told reporters after reaching West Virginia for a campaign rally. “I feel very badly for Paul Manafort.” While pointedly refusing to comment on Cohen, the President stressed that Manafort’s conviction “doesn’t involve me” and called it “a very sad thing is happening”. Trump also emphasized that Manafort’s legal woes had “nothing to do with Russian collusion, absolutely nothing”. He then segued into familiar criticisms of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, calling it a “witch hunt and a disgrace”. The counts against Cohen included tax fraud, false statements to a bank and campaign finance violations tied to his work for Trump. On the other hand, Manafort was found guilty of five counts of felony tax fraud, one count of failing to report a foreign bank account, and two counts of bank fraud. Cohen’s lawyer Lanny Davis said that his client had been acting not on his own, but at Trump’s behest. “If those payments were a crime for Michael Cohen, then why wouldn’t they be a crime for Donald Trump?” he asked.
New US tariffs on $16 bn Trump doesn’t hire best people: Poll of Chinese goods kick in IANS, WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON: A new round of US tariffs on $16 billion worth of Chinese imports kicked in on August 23, prompting Beijing to retaliate with its own levies on American goods worth the same amount. The latest trade escalation comes as officials from the world’s two largest economies meet for tariff negotiations in Washington, reports CNBC News. At 12.01 a.m. on August 23, the US began collecting additional 25 per cent duties on 279 Chinese import product categories identified by the American Trade Representative. Key products that will be hit by the duties include semiconductors, chemicals, plastics, motorbikes and electric scooters. Beijing retaliated with its own fresh tariffs on $16 billion worth of additional imports from the US including fuel, steel products, autos and medical equipment. The levies took effect the same time that the US tariffs were imposed on August 23, Xinhua news agency reported, citing an announcement from the Customs

Tariff Commission of the State Council. China “resolutely opposes” the latest tariffs by the US and will fight back against the latest duties, the Chinese Commerce Ministry said in a statement, adding that Beijing will file a complaint to the World Trade Organization against the U.S. The latest American tariffs — which come on the back of $34 billion worth of Chinese goods that were implemented in July — have spurred US importers to place additional orders to be shipped and delivered ahead. —IANS
S President Donald Trump repeatedly said during the 2016 election that he would “hire the best people” for his administration, but a new poll found that most Americans don’t think he delivered on that promise. The Monmouth University Poll released on Monday found that only 30 per cent of respondents believe that Trump has hired the “best people,” with 58 per cent saying he has not, reports Politico news. Twelve per cent of those polled responded either that the President’s hiring record was mixed or that they did not know about his hiring record. Trump’s White House has experienced a higher-than-usual turnover and several of his hires for his 2016 campaign and administration have made news in recent weeks. Paul Manafort, who ran Trump’s presidential campaign in2016, is awaiting a jury verdict on tax evasion and bank fraud charges as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election interference. Meanwhile, longtime Trump loyalist Omarosa Manigault Newman made headline over the last week as she embarks on a press

The Monmouth poll found that about three-quarters of respondents were aware of Manafort’s trial and Manigault Newman’s
book release, Politico reported. Respondents held a dim view of how the Trump White House operates in general with just 19 per cent said that they were “very confident” in the way that the President’s advisers and staff are handling their jobs and 23 per cent saying they were “somewhat confident” in White House personnel. More than half said they were “not too confident” or “not at all confident”. The poll was conducted by phone from August 15 to 19 with 805 adults in the US.

Modi gifts women Rakhi homes Over 115,000 residential units were built at a cost of Rs 17 billion under the scheme IANS, VALSAD (GUJARAT)
P
rime Minister Narendra Modi here on Thursday set rolling a new slogan, ‘Saaf Niyat, Sahi Vikas’ (clean intent, right development), about his government as he gave away over 115,000 houses to women under the flagship Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (rural) scheme, calling it a Rakshabandhan gift. The Modi government’s oftmentioned slogan has been ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ right from the BJP’s election campaign ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The Prime Minister was speaking at an event in Jujwa village in the tribal-dominated regions of Valsad district in South Gujarat after he ushered in ‘e-Gruh Pravesh’ in the houses to women. Over 115,000 residential units have been built at a cost of Rs 17.27 billion under the scheme.
PM Narendra Modi also laid the foundation stone of Rs 5.86 billion Astol group water supply scheme for the benefit of tribal villages in Valsad district. (Photo: IANS)
Modi also spoke on video to women across 26 districts who are the beneficiaries of these houses. “Our government is marching ahead on the commitment of ‘Saaf Niyat, Sahi Vikas’ and this is why I can ask you all here in everyone’s presence if anyone has cheated
you,” the Prime Minister said. Modi went on: “I got an opportunity to talk to women across the state today who got their homes under the PM Awas Yojana. It’s a Rakshabandhan gift to my sisters in Gujarat. “Providing over 1 lakh houses to
them before the occasion of Rakshabandhan is really a satisfying moment for me,” he said. The houses were “wonderful” because no middlemen were involved in there allotment, he added. The Prime Minister said: “It is my dream, it is our endeavour to ensure that every Indian has his own house by 2022. “Till now we only heard politicians getting their own homes. Now, we are hearing about the poor getting their own homes.” Modi also laid the foundation stone of Rs 5.86 billion Astol group water supply scheme for the benefit of tribal villages tucked away deep into forests of Dharampur and Kaprada tehsil in Valsad district. “There might have been several Adivasi Chief Ministers in the country in the past but it is our government that is working to reach water to every nook and cranny in the tribal areas,” he said.
Nirav Modi in UK, CBI seeks extradition IANS, NEW DELHI
W
ith the Interpol confirming the presence of fugitive diamond jeweller Nirav Modi, wanted in the Rs 135-billion PNB fraud, in the United Kingdom, the CBI on Monday moved to seek his detention and extradition to India, an official said on Monday.

Militants kill 3 J&K policemen on Eid day SRINAGAR: In a stunning escalation of violence on Eid day, militants shot dead three policemen in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday. Police said an unknown number of militants forced their entry into the house of Inspector Muhammad Ashraf Dar in Larve village in Pulwama district. “They fired at the officer from close range resulting in his death on the spot,” a police officer said.

him by the agency to the Interpol. A diffusion notice is an international alert for the arrest of a specific person. The official said that the CBI sent an extradition request to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Monday for approaching the UK authorities. The CBI official said that the agency had requested the Interpol to detain Nirav Modi on the basis of a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against him. Nirav Modi’s location was not traced until then. The Interpol revealed two months ago that Modi had trav-

State for External Affairs V.K. Singh informed Parliament that the government had sent a request to the UK for extraditing Nirav Modi. Nirav Modi along with his uncle Mehul Choksi of the Gitanjali Group is under probe in the Punjab National Bank fraud case by both the CBI and the ED.
BRIEFS Jaitley reallocated Finance portfolio NEW DELHI: President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday reassigned the Finance and Corporate Affairs portfolios to Union Minister Arun Jaitley, a Rashtrapati Bhavan statement said. “The President of India, as advised by the Prime Minister, has directed to assign the portfolios of the Minister of Finance and Minister of Corporate Affairs to Arun Jaitley” it said. The temporary charge was given to Union Minister Piyush Goyal as Jaitley had undergone a kidney transplant on May 14 and was recovering from it.
Patna High Court pulls up CBI PATNA: The Patna High Court on Thursday expressed unhappiness over the CBI’s failure to submit an action taken report (ATR) in the court in connection with the mass rapes at the Muzaffarpur shelter home. A bench headed by Chief Justice M.R. Shah also directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to respond on the sudden transfer of the CBI Superintendent probing the crime, a lawyer said. The court asked the CBI to submit the ATR at the next hearing on August 27. The report was to be submitted on Wednesday. The court took serious note of the transfer of CBI officer J.P. Mishra on Tuesday night. Mishra, who was transferred to Patna barely two months ago, was shunted on Tuesday as the Superintendent in the office of the Deputy Inspector General (Patna Range). The Patna High Court is monitoring the CBI probe into the case. Among those arrested and jailed for the multiple rapes is journalist Brajesh Thakur. Social Welfare Minister Manju Verma resigned after it became known that her husband was in close touch with Thakur.
Senior journalist Kuldip Nayar passes away PRASHANT SOOD, NEW DELHI
A
journalist, author, columnist, human rights activist, diplomat, peacenik and a doughty fighter against the Emergency — Kuldip Nayar saw India’s modern history being made and wrote about it with depth and passion. He died at a hospital in New Delhi, his family said on Thursday. He was 95. Though he wore many hats in his long career, he remained a quintessential journalist till his last breath and did not shy away from speaking his mind, including on communal upsurge.
Kuldip Nayar
Nayar was jailed during the Emergency (1975-1977) by the Indira Gandhi government and he
fiercely fought for press freedom. He covered a host of events in his journalistic career spanning over six decades and wrote about major figures in India and the neighbourhood involving the eras of Lal Bahadur Shastri, Jai Prakash Narayan, Indira Gandhi, Zia-ul Haq and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Nayar, who was a media advisor to late Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, was a witness to the Tashkent Accord signed between India and Pakistan. Shastri had died the same night following a heart attack. He knew former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi so well that he was
almost on first name basis with her. Nayar’s ideas were shaped by partition which changed many lives, including his own. The trauma of partition strengthened his belief in pluralism and in the idea of judging a person by his commitments not his religion. As a dove on Indo-Pak relations, Nayar started the practice of a candlelight vigil at the India-Pakistan border on the night between August 14 and 15 in early nineties and people joined him in marches up to the border at Attari. He was an optimist for peace and firmly felt that war is not an option between the two countries.

Kerala limps back to normal
As rescue operations continue in the flood-hit state, United Arab Emirates (UAE), pledges $100 million for relief work. “Thanks, but no!” India responds to the foreign aid IANS, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
F
or the first time in many days, the sun shone brightly over Kerala this week even as hundreds of thousands remained in relief camps, while many who returned home broke down after seeing the enormity of the destruction. There were no rains and the level of flood water in several areas of the state that got submerged had receded, officials and residents said. But the low-lying areas in the districts of Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur were still under a sheet of water. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), home to hundreds of thousands of Keralites, has pledged $100 million for relief work in Kerala, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced. “A new Kerala has to be built... Funds are the prime requisite for this. This will be raised by us through various sources, besides getting it from the Center and other agencies,” he told the media. Both, central and state agencies, besides NGOs, continued to rescue those still stranded in flooded areas and provide relief on a massive scale in the wake of the worst flooding in the state in a century that has left some 370 people dead and caused widespread destruction. In Neliyamapathy in Palakkad district, helicopters ferried pregnant women and others seeking medical help from a marooned spot, while dumping food for more than 1,000 people still cut off after roads in the region were severely damaged. In Chengannur, the last of those

trapped in water-logged places had been rescued, said local legislator Saji Cherian. Likewise, rescue operations were declared over in Paravur in Ernakulam district, one of the most-affected places since torrential rains and the opening of sluice

gates of many dams caused a deluge. In Wayanad, people began to start going back to their homes, now filled with mud and filth. But 800 tribal families were distraught as their homes had been washed
away. “We have nothing left. And we have nowhere to go,” cried a tribal woman. In Malappuram and Kozhikode districts too, many were seen leaving the camps.
Thanks but no, says India to foreign aid for Kerala NEW DELHI: India this week politely declined financial aid from other countries to flood-devastated Kerala where 370 people have died so far. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), home to around 2.8 million expatriate Indians, most of whom hail from Kerala, has offered Rs seven billion aid. “The government of India deeply appreciates offers from several countries to assist in relief and rehabilitation efforts after the tragic floods,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in response to queries.
“In line with the existing policy, the government is committed to meeting the requirements for relief and rehabilitation through domestic efforts,” Kumar said. “Contributions to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund and the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund from NRIs, PIOs and international entities such as foundations would, however, be welcome.” Many political leaders from Kerala have appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allow foreign aid. Sources told IANS that due to a decision taken by then UPA-I government after the 2004
tsunami, the Center will not be accepting foreign financial aid. The UPA-II government too reiterated New Delhi’s position after the 2013 cloudburst in Uttarakhand in which over 5,700 people died. The sources referred to the government’s statement then that said that “as a general policy in case of rescue and relief operations we have followed the practice that we have adequate ability to respond to emergency requirements”. Apart from UAE, Qatar has offered Rs 360 million and the Maldives $50,000 as financial aid to Kerala. — IANS
“We have given a departure kit to everyone and it includes all the basic things for people to restart life,” said a government official. Police chief Loknath Behra warned that appropriate action would be taken against all traders who jack up prices of essential commodities. “There will be no leniency shown to such people and those who engage in spreading fake messages and news. Already a few are behind the bars.” Murali, a carpenter, lamented that there was nothing in his house that could be salvaged. “I have lost Rs 50,000 worth of equipment. I have to start from the scratch.” A freelance photographer in Chengannur broke down when he found his most precious camera destroyed. Said a woman in Pandanadu: “We are left just with the clothes we are wearing.” Meanwhile, a Coast Guard ship arrived at the Cochin Port with 48 tonnes of relief materials. Several groups have launched an initiative to clean people’s houses. Aravind Sasi, a journalist here, said he had already completed the cleaning of a house in Thiruvalla. “We have all the cleaning materials and we have an electrician also... Tomorrow we will reach Ranni where we will clean up around three houses,” he said. Vijayan said they would ask the Center to allow Kerala to increase the market borrowings from three percent of the state’s total revenue to 4.5 percent. As a result an additional Rs 100 billion can be raised.

PM wants peace with India, Afghanistan
IANS, ISLAMABAD
C
ricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, who in the past had made hardline statements but has been conciliatory towards India of late, was sworn-in as Pakistan’s new Prime Minister on Saturday in a ceremony marking the second peaceful democratic transition from one civilian government to another in the country’s 71-year history. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief shed a tear and also smiled when he was officially handed the reigns of power by President Mamnoon Hussain at the Aiwan-e-Sadr (President House) here. Former Indian cricketer-turnedpolitician Navjot Singh Sidhu, who was one of the few former cricketers invited by Khan, was seated in the front row. He was

‘Will take ‘bitter decisions’ on Jadhav’ ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Thursday said the country will have to take “some bitter decisions” in the case of alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav, hinting at his execution. “We will try to move forward under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan. The nation should be ready as we will have to take some bitter decisions,” Geo News quoted Qureshi as saying. The Minister expressed hope that Pakistan will win the case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which will hear it for a week in February 2019.
Imran Khan-led PTI bats for Arif Alvi as president ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Imran Khan has nominated Arif Alvi as the party’s candidate for the office of the President of the country, Information Minister-designate Fawad Ahmed said. Imran Khan, who is also the Chairman of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party (PTI), made the announcement on Saturday, Xinhua news agency reported. Pakistan will hold the presidential election on September 4 to have a successor to current President Mamnoon Hussain at the end of his five-year-tenure. Arif Alvi is considered as a close confidant of Imran Khan. —IANS

seen warmly embracing Pakistan’s Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa prior to the ceremony and sitting next to the Prime Minister of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) that created some ripples back home in India.
High-profile guests including outgiong caretaker Prime Minister Nasirul Mulk, National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan and Naval Chief Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi were in attendance.
WASHINGTON: The US has welcomed newly-elected Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khans statement emphasizing the importance of peace with India and Afghanistan, a key official said here. “We welcome the words of Prime Minister Imran Khan in which he discussed the importance of peace on both sides of Pakistan’s borders,” Alice Wells, who heads the Bureau for South and Central Asian affairs at the US State Department, said on Monday at a press briefing. Wells is expected to accompany US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo when he visits Islamabad in the first week of September for talks with the Pakistani leadership.
Members of the 1992 cricket World Cup winning team that Khan captained to victory were also invited. On his part, Sidhu welcomed the “change” in the country being brought about by the coming in of the Imran Khan-led government and expressed the hope that his “friend’s victory would be good for the peace process between the two neighbors”. A visibly overwhelmed Khan stumbled over some of the words of his oath. Khan’s third wife Bushra Imran was also present, making her first public appearance since the couple married earlier this year. She was covered from head to toe in a white niqab. His first wife, Jemima Goldsmith, was not in attendance. Neither were the couple’s two sons. “The boys really wanted to be there but their father told them not to come,” Goldsmith tweeted.
Modi for ‘constructive engagement’ with Pak IANS, NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD
P
rime Minister Narendra Modi has written to his new Pakistan counterpart Imran Khan that India desires “constructive engagement” with Islamabad but Pakistan quickly clarified that there was no offer of a bilateral dialogue. Modi wrote to Imran Khan expressing India’s commitment to build good neighborly relations and pursue meaningful and constructive engagement with Islamabad. He also talked about a shared vision to bring peace to
make the subcontinent free of terror and violence. Informed sources said in New Delhi that Modi wrote to Khan on Saturday, congratulating him after he took oath as the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan. Modi expressed India’s commitment to build good neighborly relations between New Delhi and Islamabad and pursue meaningful and constructive engagement for the benefit of the people of the region. He expressed the belief that the smooth transition of government in Pakistan would strengthen people’s

belief in democracy. Modi recalled their telephonic conversation in which they spoke of a shared vision to bring peace, security and prosperity in the subcontinent to make it free of terror and violence.
In Islamabad, the Foreign Ministry denied that Pakistan’s new Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had stated that the Indian Prime Minister made an offer of a dialogue.

he row over Punjab Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu’s visit to Islamabad refused to die down with the former India cricketer seeking to underplay his hugging of the Pakistan Army chief and Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Imran Khan saying that those targeting Sidhu were doing great disservice to peace. However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) continued its attack on Sidhu for his gesture towards Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and for “seeking equivalence” of his visit with that of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and

Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sidhu, who has also faced criticism from Punjab Chief Minister
Amarinder Singh, read out from a prepared text and said: “My visit was not about politics but on a
warm invite from an old friend. Former Prime Minister Vajpayee had travelled on the bus to Lahore and Prime Minister Modi made an unscheduled trip to Lahore in 2015.” During that surprise stopover, Modi had hugged then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, he said. “No one is questioning Prime Minister Modi.” Responding to criticism, Sidhu said his seating at the swearing-in ceremony of Imran Khan as Pakistan’s Prime Minister in Islamabad on August 18 was changed at the last minute and he did not know who sat next to him.

The Essex County prosecutor’s office announced the arrest of Roberto Ubiera, 55, this week. Singh, 55, was found dead with stab wounds on August 17 morning inside his store, Park Deli and Grocery, in the New Jersey town. NJ Advance Media quoted officials as saying that Ubeiro had done odd jobs at the store. Ubiera is in custody and was to be produced in court on August 23.

Customers who spoke to the WABC TV soon after the killing of Tarlok Singh, whose first name was initially spelled as “Terloka”, described him as “extremely generous”. One of them, Anthony Pointdexter, said he was a “great guy, never bother nobody”. He added: “He works seven to seven every day. One of the hardest (working) people I’ve ever met.” The TV said that Singh’s wife and children live in India. Earlier, an Indian woman, Sasikala Narra, and her six-yearold son were stabbed to death in another New Jersey town, Maple Shade, in March 2017 but that case has not been solved.

OTTAWA: An Indian man has been racially abused in Canada over a parking dispute by a white woman who yelled “go back to your country” and called him “Paki with sh*t-colored skin”, the media reported. Rahul Kumar, an HR professional who moved from India to Canada seven years ago, filmed the encounter outside his home on his cellphone last week, CTV reported this week. In the video, the woman who later identified herself as Angelique, was seen unleashing verbal tirade at Kumar over the parking issue. “You can film all you want Paki. Yes Paki, that’s you with the sh*tcolored skin,” she was heard yelling at him from the driver’s seat of her car. At one point, she mocked Kumar’s accent and said: “F***ing East Indian Paki bulls**t... Go back
to your f***ing country, man.” Then she can be seen driving off, but not before spitting on Kumar’s car and calling him a “loser”. After the video went on air, the woman called CTV Edmonton and criticized the coverage, saying that she was “not a racist”. Asked whether the parking disagreement justified the racist language used, the unapologetic woman said: “It doesn’t matter if it justifies it or not. It happened and that’s where I took it and I’m responsible for that.” “I can live with myself... I have no problem looking in the mirror ... I love myself. I have no problem with what happened.” Kumar said he was stunned by the woman’s profanity-laden rant and called it disturbing. “I’ve never experienced anything like that,” he said.

When DeJear won her primary election in June, Harris tweeted: “Congratulations to @DeidreDeJear on being the first black nominee for statewide office in Iowa! Black women have voted at a higher rate than other groups, yet are continually underrepresented in elected office. In 2018, we have a chance to buck that trend.” DeJear, a businesswoman who worked on former President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign in Iowa in 2012, replied with a tweet calling Harris “a phenomenal role model to us all!”

The Cultana Solar Farm will begin construction in early 2019, employing 350 workers during construction, reported ABC News. “Today’s event is symbolic of our desire to develop and invest in newgeneration energy assets that will bring down Australia’s electricity prices to competitive levels again,”
Gupta said this week. “Solar will be the main base of our ambitions in Australia but we will have some wind and we have lots of storage solutions.” When completed, Gupta’s battery will surpass the battery built by Tesla as the largest in the world, reports said.

VAJPAYEE NEVER BUCKLED,
showed world ‘India is Atal’: Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi recalls how the late veteran did not buckle under pressure, despite global adverse reaction over the nuclear tests in 1998 during his prime ministership IANS, NEW DELHI
P
aying glowing tributes to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi this week said that the late leader never compromised on his ideology and did not buckle under global pressure even after the nuclear tests in 1998. Modi said that Vajpayee’s popularity was so immense that he remained alive in people’s memories, despite being completely away from public life for the last 10 years. Addressing a prayer meeting organized in the memory of Vajpayee, the Prime Minister noted that the late leader spent most of his political life at a time when there was virtually no alternative to the dominant political ideology. “Despite facing isolation, he remained committed to his ideals. He stayed in opposition for so long, yet his ideals remained untouched,” Modi said. He said that Vajpayee respected parliamentary traditions and when the opportunity came, he implemented his vision for the benefit of the people. “In each moment, you could feel the Atal in him,” the Prime Minister said. Recalling how Vajpayee surprised the world through the nuclear tests in 1998 during his prime ministership, Modi said that despite global adverse reaction, Atalji did not buckle under pressure, and showed the world that “India is Atal”. The Prime Minister also said that three new states were formed under Vajpayee’s leadership, with-

victory, Vajpayee managed to turn around the international narrative on Kashmir — on which India used to be defensive till then — and bring the focus on to terrorism. “Vajpayee successfully divided the world into two clear halves — those who were with terrorism and those against it,” he said. The Prime Minister recalled that
Name Rohtang tunnel after Vajpayee: Himachal Cabinet IANS, SHIMLA
T
he Himachal Pradesh Cabinet this week urged the Center to name one of the world’s most challenging upcoming motorable projects at 3,000 meter above sea level after the late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. It said Vajpayee was the only national leader who thought of ending the five months of exile every year of the residents of the landlocked Lahaul Valley by constructing a tunnel beneath the
Rohtang Pass. The idea to construct the tunnel was conceived by Vajpayee in 1998 and he had announced the project on June 3, 2000, the Cabinet, headed Jai Ram Thakur by Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur, said. A resolution adopted by the Cabinet said the tunnel project was nearing completion and would be Vajpayee’s biggest gift to the state.
when Vajpayee first formed the government at the Center in 1996, no one was willing to offer support and his government fell in 13 days. “But Atalji did not lose hope and remained committed to serving the people. He showed the way when it came to coalition politics,” the Prime Minister said. Pointing out the young Indian wrestler Bajrang Punia, who dedicated his gold medal at the ongoing Asian Games to the late leader, he said that Vajpayee will remain an inspiration to the coming generations. “Nobody can imagine that a person can be alive in people’s memories, despite being away from public life. However, the immense respect and tributes pouring on his demise show that Atalji still rules people’s hearts, though he was completely away from public life for 10 long years,” Modi said.

VAJPAYEE’S ASHES IMMERSED IN HARIDWAR HARIDWAR: The ashes of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee were immersed by his foster daughter Namita in the Ganges this week. Among those who were present at the immersion ceremony in Har-KiPauri ghat were Vajpayee’s foster grand-daughter Niharika, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat. The same ritual was performed in
100 other “sacred rivers” of the country. Earlier on August 19, Namita and Niharika collected his ashes from the Smriti Sthal in New Delhi where he was cremated on August 17 with full military honors. Three urns carrying the ashes of the former Prime Minister was first taken to Prem Ashram and then to Har-Ki-Pauri for immersion. Vajpayee passed away at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi on August 16. He was 93 years old. —IANS

Paying tributes to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee at a prayer meeting, Azad recalled how as the Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister in Narasimha Rao government, he would frequently meet Vajpayee — who was the Leader of Opposition then — and share food and drinks with him.

“As the Parliamentary Affairs Minister between 1991 and 1996, I used to meet Atalji very frequent-
ly as he was the Leader of Opposition then. Three-four meetings between a Parliamentary Affairs Minister and the Leader of Opposition are quite common. Since we were a minority government, it was natural to be dependent on the opposition,” Azad said. “We would often eat together, sometimes in my chamber and at other times in his chamber (during Parliament session). There were no distances, no aloofness, unlike these days between the government and the opposition,” Azad said. He said that Vajpayee was dedicated to the welfare and progress of the nation and its people.

The one best Prime Minister that the Congress never had Exuberance was not Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s style, but when moved by an idea, he could be demonstrative Aaney wali naslein hum par Fakhr kareingi, hum asaro, Jub unko yeh khayal aayega Humney Atal ko dekha thaa (By way of poetic license I have replaced Firaq with Atal) “Coming generations will remember us with awe, When it dawns on them that we had actually seen Atal Bihari Vajpayee” SAEED NAQVI, NEW DELHI

can claim a little more. I knew him. I say so with utmost modesty because there were many journalists who knew him better. But he had a knack of making a chosen few feel special with a smile here and gesture there. Confronting him was always a renewal because your opening question was generally greeted with stony silence, bordering on lack of recognition. Then would come a well-thought through response to a question asked five minutes ago. There was no unprocessed response.
Exuberance was not his style, but when moved by an idea, he could be demonstrative as at the Hyderabad House banquet when he put his arms around me. Mainey aap ka lekh parha; kaee baar parha. Maen aapse sahmat hoon. (I read your column several times; I agree with you.) It was not just a Prime Ministerial approval of a column, but the warmth with which the appreciation was communicated. It would have been most unlike him to react to a dry piece on foreign affairs or national politics. What moved the sentimental lyricist in him was a taboo I had broken by placing Hindu-Muslim issues in a context readers were unfamiliar with. Communal riots had broken in Moradabad in 1982. I was Regional Editor for The Indian Express with headquarters in Chennai. Nihal Singh, the Editor-in-chief, asked me to “churn out” an edit on Moradabad. Instead of writing something in a jiffy, I fell back on nostalgia, my life in my village, the cultural commerce which has held society together for hundreds of years. The new political class has taken its eyes off it largely
because harmony does not easily translate into votes. In my piece, I listed Mohsin Kakorwi invoking images associated with Krishna to celebrate Prophet Mohammad’s birthday; Maulana Hasrat Mohani’s adoration for Krishna and Radha, in verse and gesture. “Ahelia, who had turned to stone because of a curse, was restored to her former self by Your touch. From the animal kingdom You elevated an army worthy of Hanuman’s leadership. You reformed a wicked Chandal. O’Lord Rama, when will You cast your benign eye on me?”
Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the most respected member of the Sangh, and yet he had evolved along the path of modernism. (File Photo: IANS)
Confronting Vajpayee was always a renewal because your opening question was generally greeted with stony silence, bordering on lack of recognition This is from the Sanskrit poetry of Abdul Rahim Khan-I-Khana, one of Akbar’s courtiers. The list is unending, particularly if you dilate on Hindu poets writing in a similar vein since the 17th century at least. The latest Noha or a dirge for Moharram is: “Kaash
Hindustan mein hota janam Abbas ka, Barh ke hum Hindu utha letey alam Abbas ka” (We wish Imam Hussain’s brave brother, Abbas, was born in Hindustan. Because when the enemy cut off his arms in battle, we Hindus would have raised his banner.)
Vajpayee, familiar with Lucknow, grasped the significance of Indian syncretism. But the practical politician in him also saw the liberal Muslim’s hesitations. Not only does he have limited votes, he is also intellectually uncertain. Vajpayee had a singular advantage over his peers: he was the most respected member of the Sangh and yet he had evolved along the path of modernism. He slid out of his RSS coil with deliberation; he did not shuffle out of it. He loved the good things of life.
Vajpayee leaves behind a foodie trail in Lucknow A former Member of Parliament from the city of nawabs, Vajpayee loved ‘dudhiya barfi’ from a shop in Raja Bazaar, ‘malai paan’ from Ram Asrey and Babulal’s bada-makkhan or ‘thandai MOHIT DUBEY, LUCKNOW
F
ormer Prime Minister and five-time MP from Lucknow Atal Bihari Vajpayee leaves behind memories of the foodie in him. “Before his health deteriorated after a paralytic stroke about a decade back, Lakhnavi food always topped his list,” recalls an old-timer of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. He says not only did the three-time prime minister have a sweet tooth, he also liked chatpata (spicy). A close aide told IANS that Vajpayee loved dudhiya barfi from a shop in Raja Bazaar, malai paan from Ram Asrey and Babulal’s bada-makkhan or thandai. At times, he would pass through narrow lanes of old Lucknow for his

favorite gol-gappas and chaat papdi. “I remember how his staff would order his favorite sweets in advance much before his arrival.
Most of the times it was on personal request of Vajpayee ji,” says a staff member at the famous sweets shop Ram Asrey.
Vishal Khanna, a BJP worker of Lucknow, says there were occasions when Vajpayee would randomly walk into shops to have chaat and have impromptu dinners for party workers. Sometimes, he cooked himself. Raj Kumar Tripathi of the famous Raja Thandai, credits much of the popularity of his shop to Vajpayee. “There would be endless chakallas (gossip) sessions of Atal ji and his poet friends. There would also be some political chitchat involving him and his close friends at our shop, run at that time by my father, Vinod Kumar Tripathi,” says Tripathi. “He was a very simple man, uninhibited...he looked so much like us,” says Tripathi. A party functionary says that
despite being a diabetic, he was so fond of special milk pudding (dudhiya barfi) made at Trivedi Mishthan Bhandar in Raja Bazaar that at times it was sent by air from Lucknow to Vajpayee’s 7, Race Course Road residence in New Delhi. Tiwari Chaat of Latoosh Road and steaming hot poories from Bajpayi Poori Bhandar at Hazratganj were also his favorites, residents say. Virendra Nath Chaturvedi, an octogenarian who has followed the political career of Vajpayee, says Vajpayee came across as a commoner to most people. “That made him stand apart from other politicians. Can you think of any politician today who could stop by for chaat or sweets at a shop and have a bit,” wondered Chaturvedi.

proud moment for all Indians. He danced on the tune of Sukhwinder Singh. Mayor of Naperville Steve Chirico, Nimish Jani, Chirag Jani, Viral Shah, and Dinkar Karumuri also were present on stage and addressed. Many speakers were overwhelmed to see the presence of Indians to the celebration. They proclaimed that Indians are respected for their hard work, positive attitude and great work ethics. Only dull and un-prepared, extempore speech/ address was by Highest Official representing India who congratulated Krishna Bansal for hard work. Urged and advised Indians to work for US-Indo friendship and partnership. After the smallest, shortest and flavorless speech she left the venue immediately in tow with Ashfaq Hussain. The opportunity, the occasion and the reason –
all were missed to enhance the image of India and Indian by not speaking about – Rising India, Shining India , Make in India and/or Invest in India and the audience was deprived of hearing about India and it’s growth in every field. Shwetal Patel, of Patel Brother / Swad addressed the audiences and expressed his gratitude towards Indians and their patronizing of their products all over and store in Naperville and elsewhere. He said it is about time to give back to community for the national and social causes– which Patel Brothers is doing year after year. Krishna Bansal, A very effective leader, visionary and a role model for his team and workaholic addressed and explained the need and importance of celebration and the Parade. He said that it engages Indian- Americans
into mainstream fabric. With a sense of pride, he stated that Naperville has emerged as one of the best places in the Midwest to work, live and raise children. He thanked all his supporters and team profusely including his executive board. Krishna Bansal was bestowed with “Outstanding Service in Leadership Award” by Governor Bruce Rauner. Nimish Jani, Trustee of Schaumburg congratulated Krishna Bansal and his team for the success of event. Many in audience felt that every year the celebration and parade is surpassing its own bar and more and more Indian-Americans are joining, participating and contributing. Finally the moment of excitement arrived with singing of Sukhwinder Singh, who kept the huge crowd mesmerized and spell bound for more than two hours of nonstop singing and dazzling music by his team from India. His singing was of high class with high tone, Sufi style, fusion and mixed music and poetry. People were seen humming, dancing and tapping till the event. None left till the end of music and a final salute to Indian Independence day, was given by Fire Department of Naperville with spectacular fire work. Most of the people will not forget the event for years to come for many reasons including – Logistics, security, parking arrangements, food, floats, sanitary services, many police officers guiding drivers and walkers towards destination, parking signs on all the resident areas, retail businesses happy and cooperative. Three peat salute to team from Hi India. Keep the Indian flag unfurled, high and flying.

Gold is a motivational sports film, go for it
T
here is something to be said about motivational sports films. They make you stand and cheer even when you know the predictable path invariably taken by the genre. Gold starts off rather roughly, unsure of who the hero of this game-plan is. It is certainly not the boozing Bengali Tapan Das, played in broad strokes bordering on Bong caricature, by Akshay Kumar. So is it Imitiaz Shah, chosen as the first captain of the Indian cricket team? Imtiaz, played with a very peculiar accent by Vineet Kumar Singh, soon crosses the border to Pakistan but is there to cheer for the Indian hockey team in the grand finale in England.
Film: Gold; Starring: Akshay Kumar, Kunal Kapoor, Amit Sadh, Mouni Roy, Vineet Kumar Singh; Directed by Reema Kagti: Rating: **** ½
Poster of Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Gold’ (Photo: aajiraodisha.org)
No. Imtiaz isn’t the hero. So it is the royal arrogant hockey champ Raghubir Pratap Singh, a man of
stange aristocratic contradictions who donates all his clothes to a street side pauper but is excruciatingly selfabsorbed on the hockey field. Then there is the hotheaded Punjabi player Himmat Singh, played with choleric credibility by Sunny Kaushal. Himmat’s temper issue keeps him off the game until the climax when he bursts on the field like a smothered meteor tak-
ing India to its predictable yet exhilarating victory. Is Himmat the hero, then? As I searched for a formal hero to this sprawling uneven yet fascinating and eventually gripping saga of India’s first gold medal at the Olympics after independence, I realized that the beauty of this sports drama is that it wisely allows every character space to grow. This is indeed a rare occurrence in a film helmed by an A-list star. Even the villain, Mehta in the sports committee, played brilliantly by Atul Kale, grows oh-so-slightly as the narrative develops.Akshay gamely allows the plot to acquire a pulsating predponderance. — Subhash K.

India create history in men’s hockey JAKARTA: The Indian men’s hockey team scripted history by thrashing minnows Hong Kong 26-0 in a Pool A encounter at the 18th Asian Games this week.

India were off to an explosive start with Akashdeep Singh (2nd minute) Manpreet Singh (3rd), Rupinder Pal Singh (4th, 5th) and S.V.

At the shooting ranges in Palembang, Rahi prevailed in a nervy shoot-off in the women’s 25m pistol competition to win gold. The 27-year-old got the better of Thailand’s Naphaswan Yangpaiboon in a shoot-off after both shot a Games record score of 34 in the final round. In the shoot-off, Rahi hit three while the Thai shooter missed three to settle for the silver
medal as the Indian improved upon her bronze medal winning feat at the 2014 edition. Rahi started the finals proceedings on a great note as she led from start till the end of 40 shots in the final. After the first three series, the Indian shooter led the charts with a score of 14. Maintaining her lead till the end of six series, Rahi’s score read 25. However, she later faultered in the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th series after score of 3, 2, 2 and 2 respectively where the two shooters found themselves tied at 34 points.

The tie resulted in a shoot-off where the Indian shooter, a twotime Commonwealth Games champion, fared better than the Thai opponent. Minjung Kim of Japan took the bronze medal after scoring 29. Manu Bhaker, another Indian in the fray, finished sixth after a score of 16 as she exited after the seventh series. It was surprising as Manu had earlier on August 22 topped the qualifying round with a Games record score of 593, while Rahi was seventh with 580 points. Manu got 297 points in the three-series precision round, with scores of 99, 98 and 100 respectively. She scored 296 in the threeseries rapid round, with scores of 100, 97 and 99 respectively. Manu’s total of 593 was eight points ahead of second best performer, South Korean Minjung
Kim. Rahi shot 97, 95, 96 for a total of 288 in the precision round. In the rapid round, she posted scores of 98, 96, 98 for a total of 292. In the finals, Rahi showed her experience to come out with a successful performance from the beginning. Meanwhile in Jakarta, India bagged four bronze medals in the wushu sanda competition. This is the best ever medal haul by India in wushu at the Asian Games. Three medals came from the men’s competition as Santosh Kumar (56 kiloram), Surya Bhanu Pratap Singh (60kg) and Narender Grewal (65kg) lost in their respective semi-finals. Each losing semifinalist is assured of a bronze medal. Santosh lost 0-2 to Vietnam’s Truong Giang Bui, while Singh lost by a similar margin to Erfan Ahangarian of Iran.
Clinical India outclass England in 3rd Test IANS, NOTTINGHAM
I
ndia staged a stunning comeback in the five-match Test rubber this week by thrashing England by 203 runs in the third Test at Trent Bridge. In their pursuit of 521 runs for victory, England resumed their innings at 311/9 on the final morning and lasted a little over two overs before losing the final wicket of James Anderson (11) to off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. England’s innings closed at 317. Earlier on day 4, India pacer Jasprit Bumrah wrecked the English line-up to return with five wickets. He was complimented well by the senior pro Ishant Sharma (2/70) while fellow quicks Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya contributed with one wicket apiece.
Indian captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri. (File Photo: IANS)
England will have to blame themselves as the top order flopped against a disciplined Indian attack. England’s opening conundrum continued to haunt them with both Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings failing in both the
innings while skipper Joe Root and No.4 Ollie Pope also had a poor outing. The home side’s innings would have folded up on Tuesday itself, but the in-form duo of Jos Buttler (106) and Ben Stokes (62) delayed the inevitable with a 169-
run fifth wicket stand. Bumrah however ended their partnership with the wicket of Buttler before Pandya sent back the injured wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow for a duck. With the team tottering at 231/6 and more than three sessions to spare, it was only a matter of time for the visitors to clean up the English tail that wagged a bit in the form of Adil Rashid (33 not out) and Anderson (11) taking the game to the final day. India now trail the five-match rubber 1-2 as they proceed to Hampshire for the fourth Test, starting August 30. Brief Scores: India 329, 352/7 decl. beat England 161, 317 (Jos Buttler 106, Ben Stokes 62; Jasprit Bumrah 5/85, Ishant Sharma 2/70) by 203 runs.

Chariot Festival Celebrated by ISKCON St. Louis
BY A STAFF WRITER T LOUIS, MO - After the success of last year’s Chariot Festival, the anticipation of celebrating yet another successful festival was running high. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) chapter in Saint Louis, Missouri was preparing for celebrating The Chariot Festival for the fourth year in a row. Organizers and volunteers worked day and night for months to pull off this festival, wanting to make it the best one yet. A variety of booths, tents and food stalls were set up and visited by festival goers. Despite the rain, the festival was attended by people of all ages, races, and all religions, eager to experience this 1000 year old Indian cultural event, and some even wearing colorful Indian clothing. The Kirtaniyas (Indian Musicians) sang uplifting melodies of the Hare Krishna Mantra (Hare Krishna Hare Krishna / Krishna Krishna Hare Hare / Hare Rama Hare Rama / Rama Rama Hare Hare), and the public started to gather
S
around the chariot cart or Rath, and danced to the music in the rain. Sitting in the cart were three majestic deitiesSri Jagannath, Subhadra Maharani, the younger sister of Sri Jagannath and Sri Baladev, the elder brother of the other two personalities. These deities are put onto three magnificent chariot carts and pulled by the devotees through the city from their main temple to another nearby temple. This cultural event attracts millions of people and is known throughout India as Ratha Yatra. Through ISKCON, this festival is now being celebrated all over the world, and was more recently celebrated in St. Louis, Missouri. ISKCON temple prepared more than 90 various Indian and American dishes and offered to God and then sold the offered prasadam to the public after aarti and worship ceremonies are completed.

Two Indian Students Win National Contest for New Dairy Snack
(L-R) Karthik Sajith Babu, Priyamvada Thorakkattu & Yuda Ou
BY A STAFF WRITER ANHATTAN, KS- Three Kansas State University food science graduate students, including Priyamvada Thorakkattu and Karthik Sajith Babu from India, were awarded first place and $8,000 in the National Dairy Council’s annual New Product Competition for Quick-Quark, a new drinkable dairy snack based on the German-style quark cheese. The students, working in the university’s Food Science Institute, used whole milk, cream, milk protein concentrate and sweetened condensed milk, then fermented the ingredients with live cultures to produce a tart quark base with 30 percent daily value of calcium and 10 percent daily value of
M
vitamin D. In a resealable pouch with a 30-day shelf life, the university notes in a press release, Quick-Quark combines natural dairy ingredients with live cultures, which help aid digestion. Using real fruit, the students developed two different flavors: pina colada and acai blueberry. Quick-Quark is dairy snack that can easily fit into a purse, tote or lunch bag, highlights usdairy.com, adding that “it’s a great snack for kids, too, since it uses real dairy, is flavored with fruit and has no preservatives.” The product isn’t available in stores yet, but the students are looking for the right opportunity to start marketing QuickQuark.

Brahma Samaj of Greater Chicago Celebrates “Samuh Yagnopavit”
BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO, IL— After a demand for ceremonies from the community, Brahma Samaj of Greater Chicago celebrated Samuh Yagnopavit on Sunday, August 5th. Janoi (The Sacred Thread Ceremony) marks the transition of a child from very young stage of life to a serious stage of study. The child usually leaves the home to go to the Guru’s Ashrama for further education. Responding to this community need, the BSGC President, John Trivedi and Vice President, Raj Trivedi held consulted with committee members and priests to schedule this community event. The ceremony was held at the Manav Seva Mandir in Bensenville, with Shree Rohitbhai Joshi as the head Priest. Despite there being
C
multiple Janoi candidates with their families and relatives, each Janoi candidate was attended by his own Guruji. The religious formalities were conducted in personalized manner. Nimesh and Zankhana Desai participated with their son Manan. Parul Engreji’s son Arpan was with Mama Tusharbhai and Mami Mayuriben. Pankaj and Arti Raval were with their son Arya and Pranav and Hina Vyas’s son Rohan were also amongst the proud Batuks. Two hundred family members of these young participants were in attendance. They all enjoyed the religious atmosphere created by all the Brahmin priests chanting the Vedic Ceremonial Mantras.

Taj Sardar (center)
BY A STAFF WRITER SHLAND, KY— Dealing with racism is nothing new for Taj Sardar, owner of a diner on Greenup Avenue, but those encounters typically ended with a customer suggesting he go back to his own country. One day, the 32-year-old entrepreneur saw something that cut more deeply than the rude comments he heard from time to time. It was a Facebook post in which a first-time customer openly disparaged his establishment, his ethnicity, and his loyalty. The customer posted on social media that he was “greeted by a tribe from India,” upon frequenting the restaurant. “I would’ve been better off chewing on my tennis shoe than trying to choke down Monday’s meatloaf special...I’m ashamed that I probably just funded Al-Qaeda in order to have a meal,” it continued. The post quickly spread through social media, calling out the original poster for his racist views. That in turn led to an outpouring
A
of support for the restaurant. Sardar the owner of The Kings Diner said he was deeply hurt by the comment. The post was reported to the police, who were unable to take further action due to the nature of the incident. Born in India and raised in Antigua and Barbuda, Sardar moved to the United States in 2006 and resided in New York before coming to Ashland in 2010 to attend Marshall University. He went on to become an entrepreneur and business owner. In addition to his restaurant, Sardar is also the owner of a Shell gas station. Some on Facebook have reached out to the posters employer, calling for him to be fired. Sardar is not one of them. “I don’t want him to lose his job. It’s his livelihood. I don’t want him to apologize to me. Maybe to the public. He hurt the public more than he hurt me,” he commented. Sardar is a green card holding permanent resident and hopes in time to become an American citizen.
