US proposes new trade talks with China

The new outreach to Beijing comes as the trade war between the world’s top two economies appears set to intensify IANS, WASHINGTON

T

he Trump administration has offered China another chance to try to stave off new tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese exports, asking top officials for a fresh round of trade talks later this month, according to people briefed on the matter.

The invitation for talks was made by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. “There’s some discussions and information that we’ve received that the Chinese government — the top of the Chinese government — wished to pursue talks,” White House Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow was cited as

saying by CNN this week.

“Most of us believe it’s better to talk than not to talk... You could say that communication has picked up a notch. “... And so, Secretary Mnuchin, who is the team leader with China, has apparently issued an invitation,” he said while declining to give further details on the potential talks.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, Mnuchin had sent the offer to a group of Chinese officials led by Vice Premier Liu He, the top economic adviser to President Xi Jinping.

China’s Commerce and Foreign ministries didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment

Stormy Daniels writes tell-all book WASHINGTON: Stormy Daniels, the porn star who sued Donald Trump over a hush agreement to keep her silent about their alleged sexual encounter, has written a book about her life which she says will include details of her tryst with the US President. Daniels said there will be new details in the book, titled Full Disclosure, that the public hasn’t heard, reports CNN. “Everybody knows that a lot of the ‘60 Minutes’ (interview) was cut down for time and there are things that I said in my interview that I really wanted people to know that are very important to me that I didn’t get to say,” Daniels said in an interview.

“I was like, I’m going to write everything and include it, and people can think what they want about me. But at least it’s the truth,” Daniels said,

on September 13, CNN said.

The new outreach to Beijing comes as the trade war between the world’s top two economies appears set to intensify. US President Donald Trump said last week that new tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods could go into effect “very soon” and warned that another, even bigger wave of measures was “ready to go on short notice if I want”.

The two economic superpowers have already imposed tariffs of 25 per cent on more than $50 billion of each other’s exports this year.

The next round of US tariffs on Chinese goods is likely to make thousands of products, from dishwashers to Fitbit fitness trackers

and food seasonings, more expensive for American consumers.

China has vowed to retaliate with tariffs on another $60 billion of US exports, including meat, coffee, furniture and auto parts.

adding that the book has been many years in the making.

Daniels also said when she heard that the President’s former lawyer Michael Cohen told the court that Trump had directed him to make the $130,000 hush payment, she started crying.

—IANS

the two countries ended without any breakthroughs. A previous series of negotiations involving Mnuchin, Kudlow and other top economic officials fell apart as Trump pressed ahead with plans to impose tariffs.

S President Donald Trump this week signed a decree authorizing sanctions for countries that attempt to influence the November mid-term elections, while his administration denounced possible attempts to do so from Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.

The executive order instructs US intelligence agencies to determine if there are attempts afoot to influence the legislative elections, as occurred during the 2016 presidential vote, and establishes a mechanism for imposing sanctions if interference in any future US election is detected, Efe reported.

“There has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation in any US

US President Donald Trump

election,” Trump said in a statement, nevertheless adding that “We’re going to take strong action to secure our election systems and the process”.

The President has received harsh criticism from the Democratic opposition and from many Republicans for the skepticism with

which he has treated the conclusions of the intelligence agencies that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 presidential vote with the aim of helping him win, and for his praise of his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

National Security Adviser John Bolton, meanwhile, denied this week that the criticism had influenced the president’s decision to take measures to dissuade foreign powers from interfering in the races for both houses of Congress.

“We felt it was important to demonstrate the President has taken command of this issue, that it’s something he cares deeply about — that the integrity of our elections and our constitutional process are a high priority to him,” Bolton told reporters this week.

Most US voters oppose Donald Trump’s impeachment, says poll

Netanyahu hails US decision to close PLO office in Washington

Gunman kills five people before shooting himself in California

WASHINGTON: The majority of US voters said they would not like to see Congress begin impeachment proceedings against US President Donald Trump, according to a poll released this week.

The American voters, by a 56 to 36 percent margin, said they didn’t want Congress to take action against the president, a Quinnipiac University National Poll found.

“American voters don’t want Congress to tell President Donald Trump, ‘You’re fired!’ by serving him with articles of impeachment,” Xinhua quoted Tim Malloy, Assistant Director of the poll, as saying.

However, Congress should be more of a check on Trump, most US voters agree, by 58 to 27 percent. In races for the US House of Representatives nationwide, American voters back Democratic candidates over Republicans by 52 to 38 per cent, the poll showed.

TEL AVIV: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed US President Donald Trump administration’s decision to close the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)’s office in Washington.

The State Department announced the move this week, citing its lack of steps to advance direct negotiations with Israel. It also cited the Palestinians’ efforts to get the International Criminal Court to prosecute Israelis for apparent violations of international law in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. “The US took the right decision regarding the PLO office in Washington,” Xinhua quoted Netanyahu as saying in a statement released by his office. “Israel supports the US actions, which were aimed at clarifying to the Palestinians that their refusal to negotiate and the attempts to attack Israel in international forums will not advance peace,” he said.

SAN FRANCISCO: An unidentified gunman shot dead five people, including his wife, and later committed suicide in the US state of California, authorities said.

The killings took place in two different places in Bakersfield city on September 12 night and Sheriff Donny Youngblood of the Kern County said the incident was not a random mass shooting, reports Efe news.

“This is highly unusual to have six people shot and dead in one incident,” The Bakersfield Californian daily quoted Youngblood as saying. The sheriff said that the incident began at a trucking company where the suspect arrived with his wife. According to the reported sequence of events, the suspect confronted a man at the place, and shot him dead and then shot his wife.

‘Met Jaitley before leaving India’ Vijay Mallya, who left India on March 2, 2016, also claimed that he was disliked by both the major parties in India — the BJP and Congress IANS, LONDON/NEW DELHI

Jaitley helped Mallya to flee, must quit: Rahul Gandhi

F

ugitive business tycoon Vijay Mallya, wanted in India for his alleged role in a multi-crore bank loan fraud case, this week sought to drag Finance Minister Arun Jaitley into controversy by claiming that he met him before he left the country in 2016, which the minister called “factually false”.

Mallya, who talked to the media outside a London court where he is facing extradition proceedings, said: “I had a scheduled meeting in Geneva. I met the Finance Minister before I left... repeated my offer to settle with the banks. That is the truth,” he told reporters outside a Westminster Magistrate court where he is fighting an extradition case filed by Indian authorities.

Mallya, who left India on March 2, 2016, also claimed that he was disliked by both the major parties in India — the BJP and Congress.

“I am a political football... As far as I am concerned, I have made a comprehensive settlement offer

Four militants killed in Kashmir SRINAGAR/JAMMU: Four militants were killed and eight security personnel injured in two separate gun battles in Jammu and Kashmir this week. Two of them were killed in Arampore area in Sopore town, Defense Ministry said.

Police said the security forces, including Rashtriya Rifles, the Special Operations Group and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), cordoned off the area in the morning after being tipped off about the gunmen.

“As the cordon was tightened, the militants opened fire triggering a gunfight,” a police officer said.

Two more militants were killed in Reasi district after an Army operation that began early in the day, General Officer Commanding (GOC) Major General Arvind Bhatia said. He said the militants had recently sneaked into the state from Pakistan. Eight security personnel, including a Deputy Superintendent of Police, were injured in the fighting in Kakriyal village near the Mata Vaishno Devi University. The dead were among the three militants who had opened fire on the Jammu-Srinagar highway in Udhampur district from a truck before escaping. The Army, police and CRPF tracked down the militants using drones, helicopters and other surveillance gadgets in the forests of Jhajar and —IANS adjoining areas.

before the Karnataka High Court.

I hope the honorable judges will consider it favorably.”

Asked if he could settle his dues, Mallya, who headed the nowdefunct Kingfisher Airlines and the United Breweries, said: “Obviously. That is why a settlement offer has been made.”

Mallya, who faces charges of defrauding banks to the tune of Rs 9,000 crore, said he did not file any clemency plea in the Karnataka High Court where he was ready

to settle all dues.

“I put almost Rs 15,000 crore offer on the table of the Karnataka High Court. I feel like a scapegoat.

Both political parties don’t like me,” he said, adding that the banks had rejected his settlement offers.

Shortly later, Jaitley hit back and rejected Mallya’s claim that the fugitive businessman met him before he left India two years ago.

“My attention has been drawn to a statement made to the media by Vijay Mallya on having met me with

NEW DELHI: Congress President Rahul Gandhi demanded Finance Minister Arun Jaitely’s resignation after accusing him of colluding with fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya “and giving him a free passage” to flee the country.

Addressing the media at the Congress headquarters, Gandhi asked why the Minister did not inform the investigating agencies about Mallya’s plans to leave India.

“There is a clear-cut collusion. He (Jaitley) should have confessed (about the meeting) and he should resign,” said Gandhi.

Congress in ICU, says PM Narendra Modi IANS, NEW DELHI

P

rime Minister Narendra Modi this week hit out at opposition parties, saying the Congress, which has been trying to forge a “mahagathbandhan” for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and those part of the grand alliance form its “support system”.

Modi’s attack came during a video

interaction with booth level workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from Jaipur (Rural), Nawada, Ghaziabad, Hazaribagh and Arunachal West parliamentary constituencies.

Responding to a query of a BJP worker from Arunachal Pradesh about the opposition’s efforts to forge a grand alliance, Modi said it was not a matter of opposition unity but an attempt was

being made to do branding for some political parties in the name of “mahagathbandhan”.

P.L. Punia claimed to give an eyewitness account of the meeting between Jaitley and Mallya in the Central Hall of Parliament before the businessman fled the country on March 2, 2016.

“The Finance Minister talks to an absconder (Mallya) and the absconder tells the Finance Minister that I am going to London. The Finance Minister neither told the CBI, the ED or the police, why?

“He was given a free passage to leave the country by the Finance Minister,” said Gandhi and alleged that the logistics of Mallya going out of the country were discussed at the meeting.

—IANS

Jaitley said he had never given Mallya any appointment to meet him since 2014 and “the question of his having met me does not arise”.

“This ‘mahagathbandhan’ is not a bond of knot but is an alliance of some opportunistic political parties to hide their weaknesses,” he said.

“They are trying to stitch an alliance of parties while we are stitching people’s hearts. This is their compulsion. Our work is to stitch relations which is our national duty,” he said.

The Prime Minister said there was confusion in the “mahagathbandhan” over leadership and policy. Their intention was corrupt.

“Their only motto is ‘Modi hatao’, ‘Modi hatao’ and ‘Modi hatao’ (Remove Modi) while our determination is to accelerate the path of development.”

R

afale jets will power the Indian Air Force (IAF) to fight “grave threats” India faces from Pakistan and China, Air Chief Marshal B.S. Dhanoa said this week, strongly batting for the French-made fourth generation aircraft whose purchase has triggered allegations of financial irregularities.

The IAF chief said that by acquiring the French fighters, the IAF would also be able strengthen its depleting fleet of fighters at a time when India’s neighbors were “not sitting idle” and continuously mod-

ernizing their air warfare capabilities. Speaking at a seminar, Air Chief Marshal Dhanoa said the Russianmade S-400 Triumf advanced air

defense systems to be bought from Moscow would also enhance the capability of the air force.

“By providing the Rafale and the

S-400 (anti-missile system), the government is strengthening the IAF to counter the shortfall of our depleting numbers of aircraft,” he said.

“The hi-tech fighters like Rafale are needed because medium-tech fighters like Tejas alone cannot do.”

He said the IAF was already down with only 31 squadrons from the sanctioned strength of 42. “Even when we do have 42 (squadrons), we will be below the combined strength of our two adversaries,” he said, adding that the gap was being “partially fulfilled by getting the hi-tech aircraft”.

Ruling on gays: Is BJP out of sync with modern realities?

For the BJP and RSS, any expansion of the concept of civil liberties is fraught with danger to their restrictive worldviews since a widening of human rights carries the prospect of greater individualism AMULYA GANGULI, NEW DELHI

M

ore than the social impact of the Court’s Supreme judgment on gay rights, what will be of concern to the ruling party at the Centre is its political fallout. Hence, the eloquent silence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the subject.

For the BJP and its ideological mentor, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), any expansion of the concept of civil liberties is fraught with danger to their restrictive worldviews since a widening of human rights carries the prospect of greater individualism.

If the rights of the homosexuals to live without legal constraints are conceded, it can only encourage the people to free themselves of other restrictions as well such as on choosing live-in partners (of whatever sex) and eating, dressing and speaking as they please.

It is noteworthy that the verdict on gays has come close on the heels of the judgment which described the right to dissent as a “safety valve” which the government can only shut off at its peril lest there is an explosion.

LGBTIQ supporters celebrate after the Supreme Court decriminalized homosexuality by declaring Section 377, the penal provision which criminalized gay sex, as “manifestly arbitrary”. (Photo: IANS)

Moreover, the court had also upheld not long ago the right to privacy which the government described as an “elitist” concept.

For the Hindu Right, as also for other religious fundamentalists, this dalliance with civil rights — the freedom to criticize the government, the exaltation of privacy and now the decriminalization of homosexu-

ality — entails a push towards liberalism and modernism which are anathema to any group which wants the society to be bound by shackles of orthodoxy and obscurantism.

It is ironic that although the Hindutva brotherhood speaks of decolonizing the Indian mind, the two colonial laws which have long been its favorites are the section on

homosexuality in the Indian Penal Code and on sedition.

Now that one of them is gone, there is little doubt that these closet followers of Britain’s 19th century politician Lord Macaulay —even as they decry the secular groups as “Macaulay’s children” — will hold on resolutely to the law on sedition as their only safeguard against the

“anti-nationals” who, they believe, stalk the land.

It is also possible that the saffronites will keep a hawk’s eye on any social problems that may arise because of the assertion of gay rights. As the BJP MP Subramanian Swamy has said, with eager anticipation, if a five-judge bench can overturn an earlier judgment in favor of criminalizing homosexuality, a larger bench can undo the present verdict if gay bars begin to flourish and there is a rise in the cases of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infections.

Interestingly, what these judgments underline is how the judiciary is more attuned to the changing world than the elected representatives of the hoi polloi who often argue in favor of giving greater primacy to the legislature than the judiciary since they claim to represent the people while the judges are unelected denizens of an ivory tower. However, one possible reason why MPs and MLAs, especially of the BJP, seem to be out of sync with the present-day world is the presence in their midst of a large number of criminal elements who can hardly be regarded as the most progressive sections of society.

Finding common spiritual ground between India’s religions ‘We pride ourselves in being the most tolerant of people, celebrating our diversity of faith...,’ says Shyam Saran FRANK F. ISLAM, NEW YORK

R

ecent events in India have damaged the country’s image as a vibrant, plural and successful democracy.” That is the opening line of former Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran’s recent article in which he expresses his “growing concern over the rising polarization and communalism of our social and political discourse”.

Saran pointed out: “We pride ourselves in being the most tolerant of people, celebrating our diversity of faith, culture and tradition, ways of life and language.

Diversity thrives on sharing; it becomes poison when it becomes an instrument for separating ‘us’

from ‘them’. One cannot construct an over-arching Hindu identity on the basis of creating a binary Hindu-Muslim divide.”

Indeed, we do not need a divide.

We need instead to find our spiritual common ground.

‘One cannot construct an over-arching Hindu identity on the basis of creating a binary Hindu-Muslim divide’ We cannot find that common ground by accident. It must be a consequence created through

strong beliefs and a concerted and sustained effort over time. It must be an outcome that overcomes religious, regional and racial boundaries.

How do we reach that ideal state? We begin with where we are, find our shared values, leverage our strengths and then chart a path to where we want to be.

As an example of discovering our shared values, let me draw upon the teachings of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, founder of Aligarh Muslim University, and Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, founder of Banaras Hindu University.

These men were visionaries who saw the world not though religious blinders but through an

expansive view of what strong and inclusive faiths can do to unite rather than divide us. Pandit Malviya instructed us: “India is not a country of the Hindus only.

It is a country of the Muslims, the Christians and the Parsees too.”

“The country can gain strength and develop itself only when the

people of India live in mutual good will and harmony.”

Sir Syed expressed a similar philosophy, stating that the graduates of Aligarh “...shall go forth through the length and breadth of the land to preach the gospel of free inquiry, of large hearted toleration, and of pure morality.”

Skripal suspects are civilians: Putin The poisoning of the former Russian spy caused tensions between Russia and the UK, as London and its allies accused Moscow of orchestrating the attack London from Moscow on March 2 on Russian passports.

Two days later, they sprayed nerve agent Novichok on the front door of Skripal’s home in the Wiltshire city of Salisbury, before travelling home to Russia later that day, the police said.

R

ussian President Vladimir Putin this week said that the two suspects in the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter are “civilians, not criminals”.

Putin said that his government had found the pair and he hoped they would appear soon and tell their story. “We know who they are, we have found them,” he told the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) in Vladivostok city.

“I hope they will turn up themselves and tell everything. This would be best for everyone. There is nothing special there, nothing criminal, I assure you. We’ll see in the near future,” he was quoted as saying by Sputnik news agency.

Skripal, 66, and Yulia, 33, were poisoned in the UK in March. The

Russia launches war games in Siberia MOSCOW: Russia’s armed forces began the second day of its massive military exercises in the country’s far east this week with a show of strength involving anti-aircraft and missile maneuvers.

The Vostok-2018 war games, the largest staged by Russia since the Cold War, were partly held at the Soviet-built training ground in Telemba, some 200 km to the east of Lake Baikal in the heart of Siberia, Efe reported.

As heavy rain fell, the overcast Siberian sky filled with missiles, guided rockets and thunderous explosions in a show of strength that observers in the West will be watching eagerly.

32 killed in suicide attack on protesters in Afghanistan KABUL: At least 32 people were killed and 128 wounded this week in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province following a devastating suicide bomb attack on protesters who were calling for the dismissal of a police commander.

The incident, the fourth attack to hit the region on Tuesday, took place around 1 p.m, when an insurgent detonated a bomb he was carrying in his vest in the Momand Darah district, said Attaullah Khogyanai, a spokesperson for the province’s governor.

F

ormer Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Mohammad Safdar have been released from prison on a three-day parole to attend the funeral of Kulsoom Nawaz, who passed away in London after months of battle with cancer.

The three, now serving prison sentences in Rawalpindi on corruption charges, were released

hours after Sharif’s wife died in a London hospital this week.

The funeral prayers of the former Premier’s wife will held at London’s Regent Park mosque on Thursday and her body will then be flown to Lahore, Geo News reported.

The Sharif family said that Kulsoom Nawaz will be laid to rest on September 14 at their residence in Lahore. Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and her husband were escorted by the police from the jail to the Nur

Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey also fell ill after responding to the Salisbury incident. He was later discharged from hospital, as were the Skripals.

The police linked the attack to a separate Novichok poisoning on June 30, when a couple – Dawn Sturgess and her partner Charlie Rowley — became unwell at a house in Amesbury. Sturgess died in hospital on July 8. The police said that Sturgess and Rowley were later exposed to the nerve agent after handling a contaminated container, labelled as Nina Ricci Premier Jour perfume.

British authorities said they do not believe Sturgess and Rowley were deliberately targeted but were exposed after touching the contaminated item left behind by the perpetrators of the attack on the Skripals. accompanied the three on the flight. Later, he departed for London to bring Kulsoom Nawaz’s body home.

According to the Punjab Home Department spokesperson, it was decided that Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Safdar’s parole be extended by three days. “In case of a delay in Begum Kulsoom’s funeral, the parole will be further extended,” the spokesperson said.

According to Dawn daily, Kulsoom Nawaz’s sons in London would not accompany her body to Lahore though her daughter Asma and grandson Zikriya Sharif would go with the casket to Pakistan.

A large number of relatives, party leaders, workers, politicians and well-wishers visited the Sharif residence to condole the death.

Suu Kyi defends imprisonment of Reuters journalists IANS, HANOI

M

yanmar’s de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi this week defended the sevenyear jail terms handed to two Reuters journalists and said their convictions had nothing to do with freedom of expression. Suu Kyi made the remarks on the sidelines of the ongoing Asean World Economic Forum, reports Efe news.

“If anybody feels that there has been a miscarriage of justice I would like them to point it out,” the Nobel Peace Prize laureate said of the case, which has been condemned internationally. “(The judgment) had nothing to do with the freedom of expression at all, it had to do with the Official

“They weren’t jailed because

they are journalists, they were jailed because the court has decided they had broken the Official Secrets Act,” she added after being asked by the moderator how she, as a democratic leader, felt about the

jailing of journalists.

Suu Kyi called for respect for the rule of law, and said the two reporters were free to appeal the sentence. The reporters, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, were arrested on the night of December 12, 2017, after meeting two policemen who handed them supposedly confidential documents.

One police witness testified in court that the meeting was a set-up to trap the reporters.

The journalists, sentenced to prison earlier this month, were investigating a massacre of members of the Rohingya minority in Inn Din village in Rakhine state, for which seven Myanmar soldiers were later convicted and sentenced to 10 years in jail.

Indian-born scholar receives US award Rajalakshmi won the 2018 Paul Baran Young Scholar Award for using smartphones to detect life-threatening symptoms FAKIR BALAJI, BENGALURU

A

n Indian-born woman research scholar from the University of Washington won the Paul Baran Young Scholar Award for 2018 for using smartphones to detect lifethreatening symptoms, the California-based Marconi Society, which has instituted the award, said this week.

“Nandakumar Rajalakshmi is the winner of this year’s Young Scholar Award for her outstanding research work in detecting lifethreatening symptoms using smartphones,” the Society said in an e-mail to IANS. Inspired by bats, which use sonar to navigate in the dark by sending acoustic signals and using reflections to identify objects, Rajalakshmi, 28, has turned a smartphone into an active sonar system to detect physiological activity like movement or respiration in a human body by a remote device.

“Rajalakshimi’s system works by transmitting inaudible sound sig-

nals from a smartphone’s speaker and tracking their reflections off the human body. The reflections are analysed by algorithms and signal processing techniques,” the Society said in the e-statement.

The system is disrupting the sleep industry by creating a nonintrusive, low-cost application — ApneaApp for detecting sleep apnea, a breathing disorder that affects millions of people the world over and yet remains undiagnosed.

“I wanted to find a way to detect physiological signals, like pulse and heart rate, which are used for healthcare applications. When I found that many consumer electronic devices have speakers and microphones, I decided to study if inaudible signals could help detect physiological movement,” Rajalakshmi told IANS via another e-mail.

The Society will honor Rajalakshmi with the award on October 2 at Bologna, Italy.

“Being recognized by the Marconi Society is humbling and motivates me to excel further in this field and to have a much larg-

Seven people were arrested in the US for their alleged involvement in the scam that victimized over 2,000 people, resulting in over $5.5 million in losses, the US Justice Department said.

Seven defendants and five call centres in India were also charged for their alleged involvement, the officials said.

“The field of precision oncology continues to evolve with the overarching goal of providing cancer patients with enhanced diagnostic and prognostic capabilities and bet-

A pioneer in precision oncology, Chinnaiyan in 2010, launched the Michigan Oncology Sequencing (MiONCOSEQ) programme.

Paul Baran (1926-2011), a Polish-born Jewish American engineer, was a pioneer in the development of computer networks. He won the Marconi Prize in 1991 for inventing packet switching technology, used in data communications, worldwide.

Bindra hopes for 2nd term in NZ parliament IANS, VIJAYAWADA

W

ith his first three-year term as a Member of Parliament in New Zealand behind him, Mumbai-born Mahesh Bindra is biding his time for the next phase of his engagement in his adopted country's public life.

"With some luck I might get a second term, but irrespective of that I enjoy being part of politics in a democratically vibrant country," Bindra told IANS on the sidelines of the recently-concluded World Hindu Congress in Lombard near here where he was a special invitee.

Travelling to New Zealand with his wife and three children in 2002, Bindra has attained a position of political prominence after becoming an MP in 2014. From being a principal correctional officer at the Mount Eden prison, which then had 400 inmates, Bindra's career took a political turn when he asked a tough question of Winston Peters,

Mahesh Bindra (Photo: Twitter)

leader of the controversial New Zealand First party who is also the country's deputy prime minister and foreign minister, at a public gathering. Peters and his party had the reputation for race-baiting and Bindra being an outspoken man wanted to find out the truth for himself. A candid exchange with Peters prompted the latter to invite

Indian-born research scholar Nandakumar Rajalakshmi.

(Photo: IANS)

Bindra to join the party and consider politics. "I come from a political family. My father was an active member of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh. When Peters asked me to consider a political career it seemed like a natural progression," he said.

He became a member of NZ First in 2006 over cautions of fellow Indian immigrants, many of whom thought Peters and his party were racist. "I studied the party's policies closely. In fact, Peters even asked me to make policy suggestions over immigration. My many interactions told me that the perceptions of NZ First being racist were unfounded and in fact Peters and others were open to suggestion," he said.

When he first contested for parliament from the Mount Roskill constituency in the city of Auckland in 2011, he got 419 votes and was placed 21st on the party list. It was only after he began rising steadily that in 2014 he was elected to parliament under New Zealand's rather complex electoral system. Although his first term ended last year, there are strong expectations that he will return in 2020. During his term as MP, Bindra was appointed spokesman for Corrections, Customs, Ethnic Affairs and Land Information New Zealand.

‘Telangana elections not with 4 states’ If the state is not ready, assembly elections will not be held in Telangana along with those in four other states this year-end, says Chief Election Commissioner hya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram. We can hold polls if Telangana is prepared. But there is a big ‘if’,” he said.

Rawat said that since the Supreme Court wants to hold elections at the earliest or as soon as

ssembly elections will not be held in Telangana along with those in four states this year-end if the preparedness of the poll machinery in the southern state is not “satisfactory”, Chief Election Commissioner O.P. Rawat said this week.

Elections can be held in January or February in Telangana which has time upto March 5, 2019 for constitution of the new Assembly, he said.

“I can’t say. There is a compulsion that it must be held within six months but let me clarify there is no such law. This six months time frame is based on a Supreme Court ruling. The apex court says elections must be held at the first instance after dissolution of a state assembly and should not be delayed more than six months,” Rawat told IANS in an interview.

He was asked about the early possibility of polls in Telangana

The Telangana CEO has said he “is battle ready, but we will wait for the report of our team...”

Pressed further if there was a possibility of the polls in Telangana being held separately from those to be held in Madhya Pradesh,

Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram, he said, “If their (Telangana’s) preparedness is not satisfactory, we will not take a risk (of holding immediate elections).

“But if the state is prepared, there is no reason we can’t hold elections there along with Rajasthan, Mad-

possible, “we have taken immediate steps” for the conduct of polls.

Asked if it was still a matter of work to be done before the Commission comes to a conclusion on the election schedule in Telangana, the CEC said: “Correct.”

Giving the background of the process of elections in Telangana, he said “since Telangana Assembly has been dissolved, we immediately started preparations for the next assembly polls in the state. We have

asked the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Telangana about the level of preparedness. We got his inputs and have sent a team from here.”

The Telangana CEO has said he “is battle ready, but we will wait for the report of our team. We always verify. The Commission always verifies on the ground whatever claim is made about poll preparedness,” the CEC said.

To a question whether the Telangana polls can be clubbed with the polls in the four states, Rawat said, “I can’t say if Telangana can be clubbed with the four states. The other states have been preparing for over two months, whereas Telangana was preparing for the Lok Sabha polls. But how far they are prepared, it will be assessed by the EC team.”

Rawat indicated that if Telangana polls were not held along with those in four states, then it would not be held close to completion of the polls in those states, where elections should be completed by mid-December.

Will Ganesh Chaturthi mark a new beginning for Goa BJP? MAYABHUSHAN NAGVENKAR, PANAJI

KOCHI: Bishop Franco Mulakkal, who has been named in a sexual abuse case by a nun, got a breather from the Kerala High Court this week as it said “arrest is not the issue”. Expressing satisfaction in the ongoing probe, the court observed that since it was an old case, the probe and the investigation will take time and “not the arrest but final punishment of the accused is more important”.

Apart from hearing two petitions on the case, it also heard a third petition seeking a Central Bureau Investigation (CBI) probe into it, and said that at present that would not be granted and posted the matter for next hearing on September 24.

Bishop Franco Mulakkal of the Roman Catholic Diocese in Jalandhar has been served a notice to appear before the probe team on

September 19. The nuns supporting the victim expressed their disappointment with the court’s observation.

“We now feel that the probe might be swept under the carpet. Even the court is also denying us justice,” said a nun after hearing the court’s observations on Thursday.

A Division Bench headed by the Chief Justice Hrishikesh Roy after going through the affidavit of the Kerala Police probe team said that it was not proper to put pressure on the police as it could create hindrance to a free probe.

A Kerala nun has accused Mulakkal of repeatedly sexually abusing her between 2014 and 2016. There are five other nuns of the same congregation who has supported her claim.

s colorful clay idols of Lord Ganesh are ushered into Hindu homes in Goa ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi, the symbolic significance of the deity, as a remover of obstacles and a god of new beginnings, may well dwell on the minds of state leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The party’s top-rung leaders are battling a crisis of loyalty between their party and the ailing high priest of the BJP in Goa, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who in the past has cleared innumerable political obstacles and ushered new beginnings for the party and its cadre. The 62-year-old former Defense Minister’s persisting illness is now threatening to weigh heavy on the fortunes of his party as well as the BJP-led coalition government that he heads.

Parrikar returned from the US — for the third time in six months — after yet another round of treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer last week, but has failed to attend office.

The question of whether and who will replace Parrikar is still not a subject for on-record conversations for BJP leaders like state party General Secretary Sadanand Shet Tanavde and South Goa MP

Chief Minister of Goa Manohar Parrikar. (Photo: IANS)

Narendra Savoikar, who insist that “there is no question of a change in leadership”. But in the sanctuary of an off-record conversation, there is anxiety, anguish and worry — both for Parrikar’s failing health as well as the gaining perception that the Goa BJP and the government are virtually leaderless entities.

There appears to be neither hope, nor a consensus, among the party’s senior leadership about who could potentially replace Parrikar for now, especially since his health is worsening, although the Chief Minister’s Office as well as BJP spokespersons insist that the ailing

leader is recovering just fine.

Last month, perhaps Parrikar’s only peer in the Goa BJP in terms of longevity and acceptability among cadre, Union Minister of State for AYUSH Shripad Naik, made the first attempt to spark a conversation about “alternative leadership” in Goa, while conceding to a crisis. But within a matter of hours of his presser, a planned trip to Delhi to meet the party High Command by Naik himself and other top party functionaries was called off, after some leaders met Parrikar, who was admitted to a Mumbai hospital.

Eng win five-match Test series With India chasing a massive 463-run target, the last day of the series saw a bit of drama as England defeated India by 118 runs in the fifth and final Test IANS, LONDON

Kohli ranked No1 batsman in world

O

pener Lokesh Rahul and Rishabh Pant’s heroics went in vain as England defeated India by 118 runs in the fifth and final Test to clinch the series 4-1 at the Oval this week.

With India chasing a massive 463-run target, the last day of the series saw a bit of drama as centuries by Lokesh Rahul and Rishabh Pant gave India a slim hope of clinching, or at least saving, the Test.

Rahul played a fighting knock of 149 runs before a spectacular delivery by England spinner Moeen Ali ended his resistance.

Pant, who scored 114, gave him excellent support from the other end as the duo built up a partnership of 204 runs to frustrate the England bowlers for a long time.

However, their fall bought the hosts back in contest and the Eng-

India beat Pakistan 3-1 to enter SAFF Cup final DHAKA: Striker Manvir Singh scored twice as 10-man defending champions India got past arch-rivals Pakistan 3-1 to enter the final of the SAFF Cup at the Bangabandhu Stadium this week.

After a goalless first-half, Manvir scored his first in the 49th minute only to double the score-line twenty minutes later. Substitute Sumit Passi sealed the fate of the match in the 83rd minute.

For Pakistan, Hassan Bashir reduced the margin in the 88th minute.

India will now meet Maldives, which made short work of Nepal 3-0 in the first semi-final, in the summit clash this week on September 15.

The first goal came off a counterattack. Ashique Kuruniyan ran past everyone down the left and unleashed a low cross which was gleefully tapped in by Manvir to set the Indian fans berserk.

Lalliazuala Chhangte who replaced Nikhil Poojary in the 68th minute made an immediate impact as India doubled the lead.

The substitute made a run down the middle of the pitch, sidestepped two defenders and passed it to Vinit Rai. The midfielder on turn rolled it to Manvir who blasted it home from top of the box.

However, following a challenge, Manvir was substituted as Stephen

Constantine brought in Passi.

The former AIFF Academy cadet took less than a minute to join the party as he found the target in the 83rd. Ashique, the architect of the first goal, made an identical run down the flank to deliver it for Passi who headed home clinically.

However, India received a blow as Chhangte was given marching orders for an off the ball offense on Mohsin Ali. Mohsin was also redcarded for his challenge.

Earlier, India had the first opportunity of the game in the 10th minute itself but that time Manvir wasn’t able to connect Ashique’s perfect cross.

It was a memorable day for Anderson as the England pacer’s second innings figures of 4/63 saw him go past Australian legend Glenn McGrath to take the fourth

DUBAI: India captain Virat Kohli ended the England tour as the number-one ranked batsman in world despite failing in his last innings while just retired England opener Alastair Cook signed off from international cricket on a remarkable note, moving into the top-10 of the ICC Player Rankings for Test Batsmen.

Cook was adjudged Player of the Match in the final Test at The Oval.

Cook had achieved a careerhigh ranking of second in September 2011 after he had scored a Test best 294 against India at Edgbaston. This was the same year when Cook won the prestigious ICC Test Cricketer of the Year award.

spot on the list of all-time highest Test wicket takers.

Anderson, who now has 564 Test wickets to his name, is leading McGrath by one wicket. He is preceded on the list by Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble.

After losing the first two Tests at Edgbaston and Lord’s, the visitors managed to win the third Test in Tentbridge. However, they went down in the remaining two contests to complete a miserable series which was totally dominated by the hosts.

India had last won a series on English soil way back in 2007 when the Rahul Dravid-led side had managed a 1-0 win over the hosts in a three-Test affair.

India had started the fifth Test on a promising note as they had reduced England to 181/7 in their first innings on the opening day before the hosts recovered to post a healthy 332.

Osaka receives trophy in tears IANS, NEW YORK

T

he young Japanese Naomi Osaka, champion of the US Open, received her trophy with tears before the booing of the public, which favored the American Serena Williams.

The Japanese, only 20 years old and 20th seed, defeated Williams 62 and 6-4 as the American lost control during the match.

“I do not want to be rude, she played well, let’s make this the best possible moment, let’s not boo anymore,” Williams requested through a microphone on Saturday, reports Efe news.

But it was too late to avoid the offense and the winner, who won her first Grand Slam, cried and was unable to enjoy a historic moment.

For the first time in the United States Open, the trophy ceremony was drowned out by whistles and boos in support of the loser and against the champion.

Williams burst into tears, trying to correct her unfortunate performance during the match, in which she failed to achieve her twentyfourth Grand Slam title.

This action has been considered

by Katrina Adams, ex-player and president of the United States Tennis Association, in a statement released on Twitter in which she said it was “a class gesture of a real champion”, since “It was Naomi’s time and Serena wanted her to enjoy it.”

“I know she was frustrated by the

“They reject the piece if there is small printing error which usually happens while applying hand technique. It is not machine made that will be 100 per cent perfect. The originality of handloom lies in these errors but customers don’t understand that,” Mohammed Farooq Shahabuddin told IANS during a visit to the manufacturing location in Jodhpur, where they make the decade-old Indigo Collection for Fabindia.

It also allowed their parent to let their children make their choices of freedom without any worry about what the society will say.

“I think it’s a very large step forward for India as a nation,” said the master couturier.

Celebrated Goa-based designer Wendell Rodricks posted on his Facebook page: “At last, future generations of Indians are freed from the tyranny of Section 377.

Farooq has two more brothers one elder and one younger and all the male members of the family are into this business of supplying prints to leading fashion brands.

Some of the most in demand traditional block print designs that Fabindia has witnessed and these artisans work on are Ajrakh, which

uses natural dyes to create intricate patterns with multiple overlays of color. It is considered to be one of the most demanding hand blockprint techniques in the world. The traditional colors found in this 13step process includes jewel tones of red, indigo, black and white.

There’s also Kalamkari which is extremely popular. The technique uses wooden stamps to create patterns on fabric.

“We started our association with Fabindia in 1985 and from that time, there is huge change in work. I remember the time when we used to supply to some company but we stopped the order because of some error in one pice.

For us, that’s normal. But when we get rejections, it impacts badly,” said Farooq.

However, they are happy with opportunities that come their way.

“The Indigo Collection is completely naturally dyed using block printing techniques such as Dabu, Bagru and Ajrakh. Fabindia’s Malhar collection used the kharee block printing technique. The blocks in this technique are extremely fine and the imprints are in gold and silver.” he said We enjoy doing such experiments as it makes us follow trends,” he added.

Akshay, Rajinikanth battle face-to-face in ‘2.0’ teaser CHENNAI: The teaser of director Shankar Shanmugham’s upcoming film 2.0 shows an ultimate showdown between its two stars, Akshay Kumar and Rajinikanth, who are seen as the “biggest rivals” battling it out between good and evil.

On the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi on September 13, Akshay, who will be seen playing

a supervillain named Richard, tweeted: “On the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, doing Shree Ganesh of India’s Grandest Film: 2.0 !

Here’s a glimpse of the biggest rivalry, good or evil... Who decides.”

The over one minute teaser, which sees a high dose of CGI work, begins with a shot of birds circling over city skies, which later is being seen taken

over by flying cell phones. People seem confused as the swirl of phones create havoc.

Rajinikanth, who is reprising his role as Dr Vaseegaran and also Chitti, suggests that they take out Chitti the Robot and make him their weapon in the battle against Akshay’s character.

He is heard saying: “This is beyond science, for this we need a superpower... Chitti the robot.”

The second half of the teaser sees Akshay’s evil character destroying the city as Chitti takes it upon himself to save the world from an apocalyptic disaster.

‘Love...’: A familiar tale brutally told

W

ith some shocking moments based on true incidents, Love Sonia is a slick and dramatic, fictionalized film about human (especially women) trafficking in India.

For a tale about women being exploited for sex, what makes Love Sonia stands out is that it treats its women as relatively unimportant.

The narrative takes off in a place 1,400 km north of Mumbai, where Shiva (Adil Hussain), a farmer of a barren land is forced to sell one of his two daughters to “Dada Thakur” (Anupam Kher), a zamindar.

Seventeen year old Sonia (Mrunal Thakur), the daughter who witnessed the sale of her older sister Preeti (Riya Sisodia), is distraught. She learns that her sister is taken to Mumbai. So, with the hope of reuniting with her sister, Sonia runs away from home. And soon, she lands in a brothel in Mumbai, and from thence her

ordeal begins. The film is her journey. Mrunal Thakur is a brilliant actress and as Sonia, she slips into her character with natural ease.

With naivety written large on her visage and innocence in her demeanor, you empathize with her

and feel her pain. She is aptly supported by a retinue of powerpacked actors.

Manoj Bajpayee in an extremely new avatar shines as the brothel owner Faisal. You watch him with awe as he manipulates from being a soft-spoken concerned person to a ruthless man who conducts his operations as a “business”.

Richa Chadha and Freida Pinto as prostitutes — Madhuri and Rashmi — are stereotyped, but they do add some fine nuances to their character which makes them memorable. — By Troy Ribeiro

The data / purchase dollar amount from other two distributors could not been obtained and verified till the time of going to press.

The Chicago Liquor-Store owners paid in cash for liquor they purchased from Columbia Liquors.

The Patels deposited most of the cash into a business checking account in the name of Anjani Liquors/ Columbia Liquors – Hammond, IN. Employees, Associates or ferry drivers of Chicago Liquor Stores

The Wine and Spirit Distributors of Illinois Trade Association said cross-state bootlegging costs Illinois nearly $ 30 million in lost tax revenue every year.

The Illinois Liquor Control Commission says authorities initially learned of the alleged bootlegging through a tip from an Illinois Liquor

23

Store owner. The investigation had started in June 2013 and is still in progress.

On July 20, 2018 – US Secret Service Agents, under the operation TGIF - backed up by local police raided another liquor store in Northwest Indiana and metro Chicago in an apparent effort to shut down a “bootlegger’s highway”. The raid was related to a “Bootleggers’ Highway” out of Indiana aimed at evading Illinois higher liquor taxes. Liquor Stores were raided in Highland, IN and United Liquors of City of Blue Island and South Chicago Heights.

Some of the stores accused of improperly purchasing liquor were located in Chicago, Calumet City, Calumet Park, Midlothian, Palos Park and Sauk Village.

In the official parlance these inter stated illegal liquor delivery men are named Rum Runners and sometimes earn $ 150-200 per trip of car load of illicit liquor – A parallel indigenous liquor delivery services formulated by bootleggers.

Federal authorities also raided Swayam Wine & Spirits located at Highland, Indiana and owned by Rushikesh Patel, resident of Tinley Park, IL. During the review of Incorporation documents in Indiana and Illinois a web of corporation, assumed names, family, friends, and senior parents’ names are used, a web is created to conceal and all the efforts are taken to hide the ill-gotten riches through bootlegging and cheating on taxes. Many names which popped are under the scanner for any wrong doing – Silken, Rushi, and Bakula few of them were informed by grapevines. They were operating from Carol Stream home which was used as warehouse to distribute/sale to other retailers of northwest suburbs.

Later, many devotees performed Garbha

L

and Dandiya to bhajans sung by Rita Patel, Sangeetha Singh and Athul Soni to celebrate the birth of Krishna.

Before Krishna’s Avataram, the temple priest, Pandit Ani Joshi Ji delivered his Pravachan on the significance of seva of Lord Krishna.

Indian CEO Arrested on Visa Fraud Charges

BY A STAFF WRITER ELLEVUE, WA— The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Western District of Washington and U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes announced on August 29th that Pradyumna Kumar Samal has been arrested on visa fraud charges.

Samal, a 59-year-old citizen of India, is the chief executive officer of two Bellevuebased IT firms. He was arrested August 28th at the Sea-Tac Airport after he arrived from an international flight.

The criminal complaint describing the visa fraud scheme was filed under seal in April of 2018, soon after Samal fled the U.S. while the investigation was ongoing, it said. He remained out of the country until August 28th.

The criminal complaint describes how two companies incorporated by Samal in 2010 and 2011 engaged in a scheme sometimes referred to as a “bench-and-switch” scheme, which exploits foreign-national workers, competes unlawfully in the market, and defrauds the U.S. government, the attorney’s office said.

According to the investigation that began in 2015, Samal served as the CEO of Divensi and Azimetry, both of which employed IT workers for major corporate clients.

The complaint alleges that Samal submitted and directed his employees to submit, forge, and falsify application materials to the U.S. government, making it appear as if two corporate clients had already agreed to use several foreign-national employees named in the applications.

The forged documents included forged letters and fraudulent statements of employment, which appeared as if they had been signed by senior executives from the two corporate clients, it said.

After USCIS relied on the false representations and approved the applications, Samal’s companies “benched” the foreign nationals until and unless they were able to place those employees with actual clients, it added.

Nearly 200 workers may have been brought in under the phony applications.

The employees were forced to pay Samal’s companies a partially-refundable “security deposit”, as much as $5,000 for the visa filings, regardless of whether they were assigned to any projects that provided them with income, the attorney’s office said.

If convicted of the crime, Samal could face up to 10 years in prison and pay a fine of up to $250,000.

Massive Immigration Crackdown Indian-American Doctor Faces Prison Time After Forging Prescriptions Leads to Hundreds of Arrests

BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO,IL— The U.S. Im m i g r a t i o n a n d Cu s t o m s Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations squad has made hundreds of arrests, which included six Indian Americans, as part of a massive crackdown that spanned across six states.

A total of 364 criminal aliens and immigrants violators were arrested during a month long crackdown, the federal agency announced.

Arrests were made in Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Wisconsin, the report said.

Those arrested during this operation came from 25 countries, including six from India. This also included individuals from

C

Colombia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine, it said.

Of the 364 arrested, 187 had criminal convictions, 16 were women and 346 men, and 236 were from Mexico, the report added.

From the Chicago area, ICE arrested a 25-year-old man from India in Champaign, Illinois. He was convicted of criminal sexual abuse on July 30th and remains in ICE custody pending his removal, the report said.

More than half of the aliens arrested by ERO deportation officers during this operation had prior criminal histories that included convictions for crimes such as assault, attempted murder, burglary, child neglect, child sexual exploitation, domestic violence, drug trafficking and illegal reentry after deportation, it said.

BY A STAFF WRITER HREVEPORT, LA— An IndianAmerican doctor in Shreveport, Louisiana pleaded guilty on September 5th to forging prescriptions, a crime that could send him to prison for a maximum of four years in prison.

United States Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana David C. Joseph announced that Kevin Patel, 32, a former resident physician at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport (LSUHSC) pleaded guilty to forging prescriptions for a controlled substance and then using false identification to fill those prescriptions.

Patel, who is originally of Naperville, Illinois, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge S. Maurice Hicks Jr. to one count of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud.

S

According to the guilty plea, Patel was a resident physician at LSUHSC in Shreveport from 2014 to 2017. In May and June of 2017, Patel issued five forged prescriptions for controlled substances in his roommate’s name. Four were issued using the prescription pads of other physicians, without their knowledge or authorization.

Patel then used his roommate’s identification at local pharmacies, without the roommate’s knowledge or approval, to successfully fill four of the forged prescriptions. Patel fraudulently obtained approximately 150 tablets of Adderall and approximately 150 tablets of Vyvanse, both Schedule II controlled substances.

Apart for a maximum four years in prison, Patel also could be sentenced to one year of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. The court set sentencing for January 3rd of next year.

Indian American Student Claims He Was Wrongfully Arrested by Police

BY A STAFF WRITER A N TA C RU Z , C A — A n Indian American student who works at a gas station in Santa Cruz, California, claims he was wrongfully arrested by police on August 31st as he tried to defend himself and his business from a group of homeless people who refused to leave the property.

Nithin Kumar Racha is a 26-year-old native of Hyderabad who is studying to attain his master’s degree in information technology at Silicon Valley University.

He was arrested at 2:20 a.m. on August 31st at the 76 gas station where he works the graveyard shift. After spending most of the day in jail, friends were able to bail him out at 10 p.m. that night on a bond of $25,000.

Racha was charged with one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon, which carries a maximum sentence of three years in state prison.

Racha stated that on the night he was arrested, a group of four transients were seen on the outside of the gas station allegedly creating a nuisance. A customer came in and complained to Racha, who confronted the group and asked them to leave within five minutes.

One member of the group confronted him, according to Racha, who said he felt physically threatened. He went back inside to get a baseball bat. “I wanted to protect myself. I thought they had

BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO, IL— In a string of incidents over the past three months, two women have posed as ride-sharing drivers and robbed supposed passengers in the River North and Lincoln Park neighborhoods.

All the robberies were by force or at gunpoint, with all incidents reported in the early hours of the morning, according to an alert from Chicago police.

The drivers picked up unsuspecting passengers and robbed them on the 700 block of North Larrabee Street, the first block of West Hubbard Street, the 600 block of North Franklin Street, 400 block of North Dearborn Street, 2100 block of North Dayton Street; and 2300 block of North Ashland Avenue.

BY A STAFF WRITER ACKAWANNA COUNTY, PA— An Indian American doctor accused of deliberately burning his wife with a hot iron last year pleaded guilty on September 4th in Lackawanna County Court to two counts of disorderly conduct, the TimesTribune reported.

Dr. Bhargav Chowdary Paleti, 31, of Dunmore, was immediately sentenced by Judge Michael J. Barrasse to one to two months in the county prison, plus two years of probation, the report said.

Paleti, who was affiliated with the Geisinger Health System at the time, was arrested by Dunmore police on aggravated assault and other charges in March 2017 after his wife told officers he twice burned her with an iron.

The second assault left Jaahnari Vajje, who married Paleti in India in 2016, with severe burns on her right forearm, police said, according to the report.

Under questioning by Barrasse, Paleti said he understood the rights he was giving up by pleading guilty and indicated he had discussed with his attorney, Jason Mattioli, how it could affect his immigration status, it added.

Before sentencing, Mattioli said Paleti had no prior arrests or any previous contact with the criminal justice system, the report said.

Mattioli told Barrasse that Paleti, who lost his job last spring, has made arrangements to move to Montreal, Canada, and must leave the United States by October 9th to avoid potential arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it added.

At the time of her husband’s arrest, Vajje told Dunmore police Paleti had been unhappy with their arranged marriage and frequently subjected her to beatings and other physical abuse, according to court documents.

Racha then went back out to the group of homeless people who had not yet left the property. One of the man attacked Racha.

Another customer inside the store called 911.

When police arrived, however, they blamed Racha and Escobar for the altercation and took both into custody.

Police did not allow him to speak before taking him into custody.

Racha has lived in the U.S. for three years. He studied at Campbellsville University in Kentucky before transferring to SVU.

BY A STAFF WRITER T LOUIS, MO— On Sunday, September 2nd, the Hindu community gathered to celebrate Janmashtami at the Mahatma Gandhi Center in St. Louis. The Gandhi Center was decorated with flowers and bright lights and devotees sang bhajans in praise of Lord Krishna for over 3 hours.

Also at Gandhi Center, arrangements have made been for ‘’matki phod’’ (breaking the earthen pot) function. “Matki phod” is where youths will climb atop each other to form a pyramid to reach the ‘’dahi handi’’ filled with traditional curd that was favorite of Lord Krishna.

At midnight, Lord Krishna was placed in the cradle and, the celebrations came to a grand finale with dancing, drum beats, singing, and chanting, followed by one last aarti.
