The BJP leaders also highlighted the 2016 cross-border surgical strikes and the recent air strike in Balakot by the Indian Air Force (IAF) as examples of the government’s strong resolve against cross-border terrorism.

I am not talking about 2019, but 2022,” she asked a worker who was greeting her at the function organized by the Congress cadre in the Gandhi bastion of Amethi, where Priyanka was on her day-long visit during her threeday program in the state.

“She hasn’t been sent here for four months, she has been sent here with a larger plan... We will not only defeat BJP in 2019 but also win 2022 elections,” Rahul Gandhi had told reporters here on January 23. In several speeches following that in Amethi he had reiterated the point. Her comments was yet another disclosure of the party’s plan in the state. In the 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections, the Congress had lost all the five assembly constituencies in Amethi. The BJP had

‘FBI spied on Trump campaign’

‘I think spying did occur,’ US Attorney General William Barr tells Senate panel

Mueller probe was an attempted coup, says Donald Trump

ARUL LOUIS, NEW YORK

S Attorney General William Barr has delivered a counter-punch to the Democrats with the explosive assertion that he thought the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had spied on President Donald Trump’s election campaign. “I think spying did occur,” Barr told a Senate panel on Wednesday in Washington. “I need to explore that.” After two years of Democrats pursuing Trump with claims that he collaborated with the Russians during the 2016 elections, which an inquiry finally said did not happen, Barr stirred the muddied political waters anew with the claim. “Spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” he said, but went on to add during questioning by senators on the subcommittee that deals with budgetary matters: “I have no specific evidence that I would cite right now. I do have questions about it.” Democrats accused Barr of trying to legitimise the accusations of spying on the Trump campaign. The party’s Senate leader, Chuck Schumer, said: “Perpetuating conspiracy theories is beneath the office of

Republicans slam FB, Twitter over conservative bias WASHINGTON: Republicans in the US have slammed Facebook and Twitter saying that conservative speech was being censored on both the platforms. Led by Senator Ted Cruz (RepTexas) who is the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s panel on the Constitution, a panel ripped apart Facebook and Twitter over concerns of bias against conservatives, The Verge reported on late Wednesday. “Not only does Big Tech have the power to silence voices with which they disagree, but Big Tech likewise has the power to collate a person’s feed so they only receive the news that comports with their own political agenda,” said Cruz during a Senate hearing. The panel declined Google’s invitation because of concerns involving the representative they were sending. Cruz has often alleged that Silicon Valley giants were biased against conservatives and routinely censor right-wing voices. —IANS

the Attorney General.” Separately on Wednesday, Trump called the surveillance “an attempted coup”. He told the media: “This was an attempted takedown of a president. And we beat them.” The President said that the surveillance “was started illegally” and “everything about it was crooked. Every single thing about it. There were dirty co Page, who ran a company that advised Russian businesses, has not been charged with any crime. Mark Warner, a leading Democ-

rat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, in a tweet said that Barr “giving a wink and a nod to this longdebunked ‘spying’ conspiracy theory is irresponsible”. In the current political scene, the two sides have turned a 180 degrees in their opinion of the FBI. The Democrats and the liberals, who are now its defenders, have traditionally been wary of the agency that had resorted to dirty tricks against civil rights leader Martin Luther King and spied on anti-war activists during the Vietnam War.

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said that the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election headed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller was an attempted coup d’etat, adding that he would like the Department of Justice to investigate his claim. “It was an illegal investigation. It was started illegally. Everything about it was crooked,” Efe news quoted the US President as saying to reporters outside the White House on Wednesday.

On the other hand, the Republicans were the uncritical supporters of the FBI. Page, who had at one time worked for the Wall Street company, Merrill Lynch, in Moscow, had according to the dossier compiled by Steele, met a Russian official. Trump and his supporters have claimed that a “deep state” of established Washington insiders were working against him as he was an

ormer US Vice President Joe Biden has pledged to be “more mindful” about physical contact with women, hoping to draw a line under a controversy that has clouded his expected White House bid. Biden posted a video on Twitter saying he will in future respect personal space, the BBC reported on Wednesday. He stressed he has only ever intended to build a “human

connection”, rather than make anyone uncomfortable. “Social norms are changing, I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying,” Biden, 76, said in a tweet accompanying the video, which looked like it had been recorded on a mobile phone. In the clip, Biden acknowledged being hands-on with constituents throughout his long career in politics. “It’s the way I’ve always been, it’s the way I try to show I care about

them and I’m listening,” he said. But Biden acknowledged his past behaviour may not meet contemporary standards.

“This was an attempted coup,” he claimed. “This was an attempted takedown of a president, and we beat them.” The US President said that although the investigation was headed by people who “really” hate him, the probe found no evidence that his campaign team conspired with the Kremlin to ensure that he won the 2016 election and also failed to find evidence that he had committed obstruction of justice in trying to derail or delegitimise the probe.

outsider. The Democrats kept up their demand for the publication of the full report of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who investigated the allegations of Trump’s collusion with Moscow. Barr has released a summary that said that Trump had been exonerated of the Russian collaboration allegations, but did not reach a conclusion if was guilty of obstruction of justice. “The boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset,” he said. “I understand it and I’ll be much more mindful.” His statement follows accusations against him of unwelcome touching from four women in recent days. Lucy Flores, a former Nevada state assembly member, last week said that Biden had kissed her on the back of the head at a 2014 campaign event. This week a second woman, Amy Lappos, said Biden had rubbed noses with her at a fundraiser in 2009. On Tuesday, Caitlyn Caruso, a 22-year-old former college student, told the New York Times that at an event three years ago Biden rested his hand on her thigh “even as she squirmed in her seat to show her discomfort”.

Malpass takes office as World Bank president IANS, WASHINGTON

avid Malpass on Tuesday took office as the president of the World Bank Group, and said he looks forward to undertaking the task with enthusiasm. Malpass made his debut as the 13th president of the World Bank at its headquarters in Washington on Tuesday morning. “I want to thank the Board of

Directors and the Governors for selecting me,” he told reporters, reports Xinhua news agency. Malpass, former undersecretary for international affairs at the US Treasury Department, was chosen by President Donald Trump in early February as the US candidate for the post, following the abrupt resignation of former World Bank chief Jim Yong Kim. Malpass, 63, has secured

approval from the World Bank’s board after a campaign without competition. The World Bank Group announced in a statement Friday that he was selected as its president for a five-year term beginning on April 9, 2019. “There is a clear mission for the bank: poverty alleviation and shared prosperity. These goals are urgent, and I think we need a clear focus on achieving outcomes,” he said.

WikiLeaks’ Assange held WikiLeaks tweeted that Ecuador had acted illegally in terminating Assange’s political asylum “in violation of international law”

IANS, LONDON

ikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on Thursday, seven years after he took refuge there to avoid extradition to Sweden in a sexual assault case that has since been dropped. The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) said that Assange was detained “on a warrant issued by Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 29, 2012, for failing to surrender to the court”, and added that he will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court “as soon as is possible”. Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno said it withdrew Assange’s asylum after his repeated violations to international conventions.

But WikiLeaks tweeted that Ecuador had acted illegally in terminating Assange’s political asy-

lum “in violation of international law”. In 2012, Assange claimed that if

he was extradited to Sweden he might be arrested by the US and face charges relating to WikiLeaks’s publication of hundreds of thousands of US diplomatic cables. Scotland Yard said in a statement that it was invited into the Embassy by the Ambassador, following the Ecuadorian government’s withdrawal of asylum. “The MPS had a duty to execute the warrant, on behalf of Westminster magistrates court, and was invited into the Embassy by the Ambassador, following the Ecuadorian government’s withdrawal of asylum.” UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid tweeted: “Nearly seven years after entering the Ecuadorian Embassy, I can confirm Julian Assange is now in police custody and rightly facing justice in the UK. “I would like to thank Ecuador

for its cooperation & metpoliceuk for its professionalism. No one is above the law.” UK Foreign Minister Alan Duncan said the arrest followed “extensive dialogue between our two countries”. US authorities never officially confirmed that they charged Assange, but in November 2018 a mistake in a document filed in an unrelated case hinted that criminal charges might have been prepared in secret. The court filing, submitted apparently in error by US prosecutors, mentioned criminal charges against someone named “Assange” even though that was not the name of the defendant. Legal analysts said the error was likely to have been caused by prosecutors copying and pasting from sealed documents.

UK, EU agree ‘flexible’ ‘Fresh evidence of graft against Sharifs’ Brexit delay to Oct 31 IANS, ISLAMABAD

BRUSSELS: The UK and the European Union (EU) have agreed on a “flexible” Brexit delay until October 31, with the option to leave earlier if British Prime Minister Theresa May can secure Parliament’s support for a withdrawal deal, media reports said. After a working dinner that dragged long into Wednesday night, leaders of the 27 EU nations agreed another delay to Britain’s scheduled withdrawal from the bloc. European leaders were unconvinced by May’s promise that the UK would leave by the end of June, CNN reported. President of the European Council Donald Tusk, who had originally proposed an extension of up to a year, confirmed the UK had accepted the deal. “The course of action will be entirely in the UK’s hands: they can still ratify the withdrawal agreement, in which case the extension can be terminated,” he told the media here, adding that the UK could also rethink its strategy or choose to “cancel Brexit altogether”, the BBC reported. “Let me finish with a message to our British friends: This extension is as flexible as I expected, and a little bit shorter than I expected, but it’s still enough to find the best possible solution. “Please do not waste this time,” Tusk added. The UK was meant to leave the EU on March 29 which was later

extended to April 12. The new extension means that Britain will more than likely have to hold elections for the European Parliament on May 23, nearly three years after the British people voted to leave the EU. If the UK does not participate in the European Parliament elections, then it will crash out of the bloc without a deal on June 1. Also on Wednesday night, European Commission President JeanClaude Juncker said: “There will probably be a European election in the UK - that might seem a bit odd, but rules are rules and we must respect European law and then we will see what happens.” May said that the UK “will continue to hold full membership rights and obligations (of the EU)” during the delay. —IANS

akistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that his government has dug out new proof of corruption and money laundering against the Sharif family members and fresh cases would be instituted against them in the days to come. Khan’s comments came during a joint meeting of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) parliamentary party and members of the federal and Punjab Cabinets on Wednesday, Dawn online reported. “The federal and provincial governments’ institutions had collected solid evidence of corruption and money laundering against the Sharifs and cases would soon be instituted formally,” the PTI chief said. “This will be the first case against the Sharif family members to be instituted by the PTI government,” Khan was quoted as saying by the daily. Khan expressed resentment over money laundering and corruption that had plagued the country and claimed that the Sharif family members were filling bags of money and laundering it through their frontmen in Dubai, the report said. Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was sentenced to seven years in prison in December after a ruling that Al-Azizia Steel Mills — a Saudi Arabian firm carrying the name of Sharif’s son — belonged to the PML-N leader who could not demonstrate how the project was funded. Later, the apex court in March

Pakistan Minister asks Britain to return Koh-i-Noor ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Thursday asked Britain to return to Islamabad the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond, which is claimed by India, Afghanistan, Pakistan and also Iran. The 105-carat diamond has been part of the British crown jewels for the past 150 years. “Fully endorse the demand that the British empire must apologize to the nations of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh on Jallianwala mas-

sacre and Bengal famine. These tragedies are the scar on the face of Britain,” the Minister tweeted. “... Also KohENoor must be returned to Lahore museum where it belongs.” Chaudhry’s remarks came a day after British Prime Minister Theresa May expressed regret over the worst bloodbath committed by the British Army during the colonial period, terming it as a “shameful scar” on the British Indian history. —IANS

granted Sharif a bail of six weeks for health reasons. In July 2017, the Supreme Court had ousted Nawaz Sharif as Prime Minister and barred him from public office for life after

an investigation spurred by the publication of the Panama Papers found that he failed to disclose payments from a company belonging to his son.

Trump renominates IndianAmerican for judgeship Diane Gujarati is now deputy chief of the criminal division of the federal prosecutor’s office for Southern NY that has jurisdiction over Manhattan ARUL LOUIS, NEW YORK

S President Donald Trump has re-nominated an Indian American prosecutor Diane Gujarati to be a federal judge. The White House announced on Monday that Trump was again sending her nomination to the Senate for confirmation as a judge of the federal court for Eastern New York that has jurisdiction over parts of New York City and Long Island. She was first nominated by President Barack Obama in 2016. Trump renominated her last year and both times the full Senate didn’t act on the nomination, even though the Senate Judicial Committee had unanimously approved it. Gujarati is now the deputy chief of the criminal division of the federal prosecutor’s office for Southern New York that has jurisdiction over Manhattan. Her father, Damodar Gujarati, is an economics professor at West Point, US Military Academy, that trains officers. Her mother, Ruth

Indian doctor Kulkarni goes missing in the UK LONDON: An Indian doctor has been missing from her home in Herefordshire, West England, since last week, the police said. The Avon and Somerset Police have issued a missing person’s appeal for Dr Uma Kulkarni in the North Somerset-Bristol area. She was reported missing on April 3, BristolLive reported. According to the police, Kulkarni’s residence is in Herefordshire in the west Midlands, signalling that she may have traveled to the Bristol area. She is thought to have traveled into the Avon and Somerset force area as her car — a bronze colored Toyota Auris — was found near Aust Services near to the Severn Bridge crossing.

“Concern is growing for her welfare because there has been no contact from her. We’re urging people living near to the Severn Bridge or in North Somerset to be vigilant,” said a spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Constabulary. Police officials described Kulkarni as “a 42-yearold Asian woman, five feet tall of slim build”. “She has black hair and both her ears are pierced. It is not known what Uma was wearing when she went missing,” the police said in a statement. Kulkarni obtained her MBBS degree from Nagpur University in 1999 and registered with the General Medical Council to practice in the UK in 2015. —IANS

Indo-Canadian hits $1 mn jackpot in Dubai DUBAI: A Canadian national of Indian origin won a jackpot of $1 million in Dubai Duty Free (DDF) Millennium Millionaire raffle on Tuesday. Mukhtar M., who is based in Dubai and works as a real estate broker, said he was surprised upon receiving “the call of a lifetime” from a Dubai Duty Free representative, the Khaleej Times reported. “Thank you so much Dubai Duty Free for this amazing news, I have been participating in your promotions both for Millennium Millionaire and Finest Surprise for 10 years. I can’t believe that I finally won,” he said. In a surprise for Mukhtar M., his golf buddy Michael McGinley, also won the raffle and became the first ever Irish national to win the Millennium Millionaire raffle since its inception in 1999, according to Gulf News. McGinley is also based in Dubai. “When I got the call from Duty Free, I was like ‘Oh My God!’ I needed to verify it before telling anyone else... Then I got a call from Mukhtar asking - did you just win one million dollars. I was shocked... Then he said he had won it too. It was such a coincidence!” McGinley told Gulf News. — IANS

NY mural of astronaut, Gandhi rocks ARUL LOUIS, UNITED NATIONS

he high-tech future of green jobs and the Gandhian virtue of the dignity of work meld their messages on a sixstorey high mural commemorating the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and the centenary of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). Sporting a Mahatma Gandhi patch on his shoulder, an astronaut floats in space on the mural painted on the side wall of the Indian Mission to the UN that was inaugurated on Tuesday. The mural that looks up from the vista that opens to the iconic glass-fronted UN building a block away commemorates the occasions. The other themes on the mural, a joint effort of the ILO and the Indian mission, include the concept of “green”, environmentally sustainable jobs and the greening of the world by planting trees. India’s Permanent Representative Syed Akbaruddin said at the inauguration that the mural addresses global concerns of decent jobs and the environment.

The mission building was designed by Indian architect Charles Correa.

He said the mural effort goes beyond the diplomatic work at the UN of dealing with resolutions to a new diplomatic area of reaching out to people to create broader awareness of issues. Victor Ash, the artist who painted it while perched high on a cherry-picker, told IANS: “I mixed different ideas and came up with this ‘green astronaut’ that is also worker - the worker from the future who would be working in space.” And to commemorate the anniversary of Gandhi’ birth, he

said he added Gandhi’s image as a logo on the arm of the astronaut. Ash said that one of his inspirations was India’s record in 2017 of planting 66 million trees on a single day. The Mission building with a red-stone facade was designed by the internationally acclaimed Indian architect Charles Correa, but one of its sides was bared to the bricks after the neighboring building was torn down and a hotel was built on the site with a deep setback.

Current players benefiting from our fight in 2002: Sehwag ‘It was the effort of the senior players 17 years back that saw the BCCI share the revenue earned with cricketers’ IANS, NEW DELHI

ndian cricketers are considered one of the richest in the world, but former India opener Virender Sehwag believes that things could have been very different had it not been for the efforts of the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble among others in 2002. Speaking with IANS, during the launch of Indo International Premier Kabaddi League (IIPKL), Sehwag said that it was the effort of the senior players 17 years back that saw the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) share the revenue earned with the cricketers — both international and domestic. “It always helps when you get a share in the revenue along with the fees that you get. Say for example if 100 players are playing and 20 per cent is being shared, then it gets shared equally. That is a permanent income. We had to fight for it. We got 26 per cent for that, something

which I don’t think u get in any other sport. “The episode happened in 2002 and after that there haven’t been any issues between the board and the players because both parties wanted that cricket should thrive and that our players should be one of the best in the world,” he explained. “Today if the players are getting paid so well in the IPL, what do you think is the reason? It is because of

Things could have been very different had it not been for the efforts of the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble

recognised by the national body, Sehwag wants an exception to be made as more competitions will ultimately help the game grow. He even added that more leagues or competitions would help selectors pick the best of players for the national team. “Players shouldn’t be banned (for participating in unrecognised leagues). Sports ministry can decide who will make associations and who will run it. At the end of the day you have to watch the performance of the players when you pick a squad. So, having more leagues will help the federation.

India selectors to pick World Pollard helps Mumbai beat Punjab Cup squad on April 15 IANS, MUMBAI

NEW DELHI: The national selectors led by M.S.K. Prasad will meet on April 15 in Mumbai to pick the squad for the 2019 World Cup in England, starting May 30. India are considered one of the favourites going into this edition of the World Cup. The cut-off date is April 23 and the selectors have been waiting to watch the performance of some of the players in the ongoing Indian Premier League considering that the position of the number four batsman and the fourth fast bowler is still up for grabs. Speaking to IANS, a senior BCCI official said that the selectors wanted to wait a bit before finalising the squad and the ongoing IPL held them to take a look at some of the players who are in the radar to fill a couple of spots. “The selectors wanted to take it easy as they had time till April 23 to send in the squad for the World Cup. With the IPL on, it always helps to see how some of the boys are playing,” the official explained. While most of the players pick

themselves, Ambati Rayudu and Rishabh Pant are the two main contenders for the No.4 slot in the batting department. While Rayudu has flattered to deceive in this edition of the IPL, Pant has shown his brilliance in flashes. But his inability to finish games has been something that pundits have spoken about time and again in this IPL.

eiron Pollard poured cold water on KL Rahul’s maiden hundred with a whirlwind knock as Mumbai Indians scripted a last-ball three-wicket victory over Kings XI Punjab in a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter here on Wednesday. World Cup hopeful Rahul slammed an unbeaten 100 off 64 balls (6x4; 6x6) along with Chris Gayle’s 63 off 36 balls to help Punjab post a challenging 197/4 after Pollard — captaining the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma who is injured — asked them bat first. Chasing 198 for a win, Mumbai were stuttering at 56/2 when Pollard (83 off 31 balls) pushed himself up at No 4 and took the game away from Punjab by hitting 10 sixes and three fours. With 15 needed in the last over, Pollard dismissed after smashing a six off a no ball and a four by Ankit Rajpoot. But Alzarri Joseph (15 not out) kept his cool to take his team over the line with two needed from the last ball. Mumbai posted 198/7. Mumbai were 56/2 when Pol-

Keiron Pollard in action against Punjab.

Brief score: Kings XI Punjab 197/4 (K.L. Rahul 100, Chris Gayle 63; Hardik Pandya 2/57) vs Mumbai Indians 198/7 (Keiron Pollard 83; Mohammed Shami 3/21)

lard came to the crease. The veteran West Indies all-rounder then joined hands with Ishan Kishan (7) and Hardik Pandya (19) to stitch

together 32 and 41 run stands for the fourth and fifth wickets respectively to then associate with Joseph for a seventh wicket 54-run partnership. Earlier, Rahul and with Gayle combined for a 116-run opening wicket partnership to give the visitors a blistering start. While Rahul hit six fours and six sixes, Gayle bludgeoned seven maximums and three fours.

Assembly polls boon for AIADMK The two-stage by-elections for 22 vacant assembly seats in Tamil Nadu advantageous for ruling party IANS, CHENNAI

he two-stage by-elections for 22 vacant assembly seats in Tamil Nadu is advantageous for the ruling AIADMK as the pie has grown bigger now for a safe bite, while it is going to be an acid test for DMK President M.K. Stalin, political analysts said. They also said in the present situation, there is no threat for the stability of the AIADMK government led by Chief Minister Palaniswami. There are 22 assembly seats currently vacant in Tamil Nadu. The Election Commission had earlier announced by-elections on April 18 along with the Lok Sabha polls for 18 seats. On Tuesday, the poll body announced by-elections for four more seats on May 19. “The two-stage by-election for the 22 vacant assembly seats is

Caste may change equation in Andhra NEW DELHI: Andhra Pradesh will vote for the state Assembly and Lok Sabha simultaneously on April 11 and caste arithmetic will again play a YS Jaganmohan key role in deciding the winner. But it is to be seen if the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) would retain its hold over Kamma, Kappu and Other Backward Castes (OBCs) and whether its rival, the YSR Congress would get support from Reddy, Schedule Caste (SC), Muslims and Christians. A caste analysis of 2014 Lok Sabha election results shows that the TDP and the BJP got major support from Kamma, Kapu, OBC and Upper caste communities while the YSR Congress got a major share of Reddy, SC, Muslims and Christian votes. The NDA’s vote share in 2014 general election was 29.10 per cent against 28.90 per cent of votes secured by the YSR Congress. On the other hand, the YSR Congress is consolidating its position among the SC and OBC voters apart from the minorities. —IANS

majority. Analysts are of the view that even if Chinkara’s AMMK wins a couple of seats, the DMK’s dream of coming to power by toppling the AIADMK government may not come true. “Even if DMK wins all the 22 seats, it still needs the support of Congress to capture power. Congress, then, will demand its pound of flesh like being part of the Min-

istry. The Congress can even demand the post of Deputy Chief Minister. The DMK has not shared power with Congress earlier,” political strategist John Arokiasamy told IANS. On the other hand, if Dhinakarana’s AMMK wins a couple of seats, then the equation changes in favor of ruling AIADMK, analysts said.

What next for Kerala Congress (Mani)? IANS, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

ith the last word on the Kerala Congress (Mani) -K.M. Mani - bowing out after being at the helm of all the political upheavals he and his party faced in more than half a century, the question on everyone’s lips is: What’s next for his party. Eighty-six-year-old Mani, passed away on Tuesday at a private hospital in Kochi, after battling a lung ailment since early this year. The funeral would be held at his home town Pala, about 25 kms from Kottayam. Mani has never ever lost an Assembly election since, his first outing in 1967 and holds the unique distinction of being a legislator for 52 years. He served as a State Minister, in both the Left and the Congress-led governments and presented 13 state budgets. Mani joined the undivided Kerala Congress in 1965 and went on to become its undisputed leader. Over the years, his party underwent several splits and there are as many as seven different parties with the name Kerala Congress who all were at one point or the other part of the undivided Kerala Congress.

Late K.M. Mani.

The most spoken sentence that’s attributed to the Kerala Congress coined by Mani himself is: “We are a party that splits as we grow and grow as we split.” The immediate task for Mani’s party is to find his successor and that’s going to be a tough task. For one, there’s his son Jose K. Mani, a two-time Lok Sabha member and presently a member of the Upper House.

Then, there is the party’s working chairman - P.J. Joseph who merged his Kerala Congress (Joseph) with Mani’s in 2010. Ahead of the Lok Sabha election, there was sudden friction between Joseph and Mani’s son after the father-son duo put their foot down when it came to selecting the candidate for the one seat that Mani’s party gets. When Joseph demanded the seat

be given to his faction, the faters-n dueo shot it down This irked Joseph who announced that if need be, he will contest as a rebel. To that extent, he started meeting the Church leadership and senior Congress leaders and said that he and his aides have been given a rough deal and sought their intervention. But the soft spoken Joseph, after threatening to rock the boat, made a quick turnaround and announced that he will do nothing that will bring a bad name to his party and also to the United Democratic Front. Later it became clear the sudden turn was because Joseph realised that Mani’s health was fast deteriorating fast and beat a hasty retreat from his adamant stand. Earlier, there was speculation that Jose K. Mani’s wife would be drafted into full- time politics but sensing this could backfire, she herself announced that she is not going to enter politics. Now, as things remain in a fluid state, the first signs if there is going to be a smooth transition will be known when the party decides to find a candidate for the Pala assembly constituency when the by-election is announced.

‘Sankalpit Bharat, Sashakt Bharat’

In its manifesto, BJP says it would seek to double farmers' income by 2022, invest Rs 1 lakh crore in higher education, ensure housing for all and 100 per cent electrification in the next three years IANS, NEW DELHI

he BJP’s election manifesto released earlier this week affirmed the party’s stand on national security, including the resolve to fight terrorism. It also mentioned the core ideological issues, announced new pension schemes to counter the Congress’ “Nyay” thrust, and spoke about meeting the aspirations of the people in the next five years, reiterating that the Narendra Modi-led government had met the requirements in the last five years. The manifesto set short-term targets to be achieved by 2022, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi also talked about laying the foundation for making India a developed country by 2047 when the country will celebrate the centenary of its Independence. The manifesto mentioned almost all the issues associated with the party, including the construction of a grand Ram temple at Ayodhya, abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and the Uniform Civil Code. With the tagline “Sankalpit Bharat, Sashakt Bharat” (committed India, strong India), the BJP’s “Sankalp Patra” (manifesto) sought to reach out to all sections of peo-

ple, including the farmers, small shopkeepers, youth, women, the middle class and the poor. Reaching out to the poor, small farmers and small shopkeepers is crucial for the BJP in view of the Congress’ promise of providing annual minimum income support of Rs 72,000 to 20 per cent of the poorest families in the country if it is voted to power. The Congress earlier this week unveiled its campaign slogan -- “Ab Hoga Nyay” (Now, there will be

justice). “Nyay” is incidentally the acronym of its minimum income guarantee scheme -- Nyuntam Aay Yojana. In its manifesto, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said that it would seek to double farmers’ income by 2022, invest Rs 1 lakh crore in higher education, ensure housing for all and 100 per cent electrification in the next three years. It also promised to set up a National Traders Commission. The party promised pension to

the small farmers and small shopkeepers and said that the PMKISAN scheme, which provides Rs 6,000 annual assistance to the small farmers, will be extended to all the farmers. After losing power in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh last year, the BJP has been making extra efforts to reach out to the farmers. The manifesto said that when India will celebrate the 75th year of its Independence in 2022, the country would have fulfilled 75

Congress manifesto a mirage, not reality Rahul says the NYAY scheme will be his priority and that Congress will fill 22 lakh vacancies by March 2020 JAYANTA GHOSAL, NEW DELHI

fter I finished reading the 55-page Congress manifesto for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, I suddenly remembered a scene in the famous political satire British sitcom, ‘Yes Prime Minister’. It was set in the days before the budget and the Finance Secretary of England was telling the secretary of the Prime Minister to try and convince the Prime Minister to rethink the budget. The Finance Secretary argued that so many populist measures were, simply, bad — that the economy couldn’t afford such subsidies. The secretary to the PM replied, ‘But you know that politicians love to be popular’ and said that he wouldn’t be willing to accept any

submissions. The exchange went on, with the Finance Secretary saying that he understood, that “everybody loves sugar coated things” but that they had a responsibility to tell the Prime Minister that sugar isn’t good for diabetic patients.

go for ‘dole politics’ and every politician has to transform into ‘Data Karna’ for the poor. What is prudent for the welfare of the country? That question becomes far less relevant. The main lookout: the image of the party and that of its leader, as ‘pro poor’.

You have to go for 'dole politics' and every politician has to transform into 'Data Karna' for the poor. What is prudent for nation’s welfare? That question becomes far less relevant I saw the sitcom years ago, so there might be some inaccuracies in this. But the basic theme is correct. Sugar tastes great - but can be life threatening. In our country, the same principles apply, especially at the time of elections. You have to

With elections, comes the time of competetive populism and the latest Congress manifesto is no different, crossing all previous boundaries. Rahul Gandhi wants to project himself as Santa Claus for the upcoming elections, with

an assortement of promises for just about everyone. The larger aim: Rahul Gandhi wants to construct a counter narrative of social justice to the Indian poor and the common people of India, in contrast to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s narrative of a strong Hindu nation. The Congress manifesto says there should be a seperate budget formers. Rahul Gandhi says that the NYAY scheme will be his pri-

ority and that it will file 22 lakh vacancies by March 2020. In doing so, he is also selling dreams without any practical way out. The signs of populism become abundantly clear when one looks at the Congress manifesto that promises 150 days of guaranteed work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Guarantee Act, as opposed to the previous 100. It adds that it will eliminate poverty by 2030 through NYAY.

election special West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during election campaign in Raiganj of Uttar Dinajpur district on April 9. (Photo: IANS)

The BJP has invested heavily by launching an aggressive campaign against Mamata Banerjee and the party can get 10 seats GAUTAM DUTT, NEW DELHI

he ‘M’ factor will have decisive say in West Bengal polls as demographic profile of the state shows that there are six Lok Sabha seats with more than 7 lakh Muslim voters and in eight constituencies the number is between 5 and 7 lakh. In the remaining 28 seats, the Muslim population is less than 4 lakh. The Lok Sabha election process in West Bengal got underway on Thursday with casting of votes in two reserved seats of Coochbehar and Alipurduar.

West Bengal’s poll lock has ‘M’ key Both the seats were won by the Trinamool Congress in 2014 but going by the current assessment, Coochbehar is being considered to be a low-hanging fruit for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which is looking to increase it’s tally in the state from two seats — Darjeeling and Asansol — in last elections. Out of the 42 seats, 34 were won by Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress, four by the Congress and the Left and the BJP got two each. The seats with highest Muslim voters include Baharampur (nearly

There are six Lok Sabha seats with more than 7 lakh Muslim voters and in eight constituencies the number is between 5 and 7 lakh. In the remaining 28 seats, the Muslim population is less than 4 lakh 10 lakh), Murshidabad (nearly 8 lakh), Jangipur (nearly 11 lakh), Raiganj (nearly 9 lakh), Maldah Uttar (nearly 9 lakh) and Maldah Dakshin (nearly 8 lakh). Maldah Uttar, Maldah Dakshin, Jangipur and Murshidabad will go to polls in third phase on April 23. Polling in Raiganj will be held

on April 18 and Baharampur on April 29. The other seats with substantial Muslim voters include Mathurapur (SC), Diamond Harbour, Jadavpur, Kolkata Dakshin, Kolkata Uttar, Bolpur (SC), Birbhum and Jaynagar (SC). Polling in West Bengal is taking

place in all the seven phases. Nine seats — Dum Dum, Barasat, Basirhat, Jaynagar, Mathurpur, Diamond Harbour, Jadavpur, Kolkata Dakshin and Kolkata Uttar — will see polling in last phase on May 19. The BJP has invested heavily by launching an aggressive campaign against Mamata Banerjee. According to party’s internal assessment, it can get 10 seats but the Trinamool Congress is determined to repulse the BJP’s march. The Congress and the Left have been pushed to the margins by the two parties.

Cadres may ruin JD-S, Congress plans IANS, DINHATA (WEST BENGAL)

he Janata Dal-Secular (JDS)-Congress ruling coalition in Karnataka faces a catch-22 situation as the cadres of the two parties are refusing to campaign for each other’s candidates, given their historic rivalry of over three decades. The JD-S, which heads the government despite lesser seats (37) in the Assembly than its ally the Congress (80), is pulling all stops to at least double its strength in the Lok Sabha elections from 2 to 4 MPs, if not more, to gain some elbow room in the state, party insiders say. But all efforts are likely to come to a naught in the absence of support from the cadres. “While the leaders of the two parties agreed to jointly contest, there is no bonhomie between cadres for a joint campaign given their bitter feud

over the years,” observed a political analyst. Under the seat-sharing arrangement arrived at after much wrangling and shadow-boxing, the Congress is contesting 21 seats, though it won only 9 in the 2014 elections against 17 by the BJP. “As we are sharing power in the state, a pre-poll alliance to jointly contest the Lok Sabha polls will prevent division of votes in a straight fight with the BJP, unlike in a triangular contest that benefits our rival party (BJP),” JD-S spokesman Ramesh Babu told IANS. Though H.D. Deve Gowda initially bargained hard with Congress President Rahul Gandhi for 12 seats, he reconciled to contest 7 seats after giving up the eighth seat (Bangalore North) to the Congress for want of a winnable candidate against BJP’s sitting member and Union Minister D.V.

Sadananda Gowda. Of the 7 seats, the JD-S is contesting four -- Hassan, Mandya, Tumkur and Udupi-Chikamangalur -- going to polls on April 18 in the central and southern regions and three -- Bijapur (Vijayapura), Shimoga and Uttara Kannada -- going to vote on April 23 in the coastal and northern regions. To retain its bastions, Hassan and Mandya, in the old Mysuru region, the party has fielded Deve Gowda’s two grandsons -- Prajwal and Nikhil. Prajwal is son of Gowda’s second son and state PWD minister H.D. Revanna, and Nikhil is son of Gowda’s third son and Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy. Deve Gowda himself is contesting from Tumkur, and not his old constituency Hassan, from where he won for record six times since 1991.

What makes elections different for BJP in UP Despite the battle over ‘Ali and Bajrangbali’, the Bharatiya Janata Party failed to ensure a religious polarization in western UP AMITA VERMA, LUCKNOW

53% turnout in 1st phase in Bihar

s polling for eight Lok Sabha seats in western Uttar Pradesh concluded on Thursday, the advantage to the ruling BJP does not seem as enhanced as it was five years ago. Despite the battle over ‘Ali and Bajrangbali’, the BJP failed to ensure a religious polarization in western UP. In 2014, the region -- smarting over the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots -- was communally surcharged and the divide between Muslims and Jats was palpable. Five years later, the divisions have blurred and the Rashtriya Lok Dal, through a series of meetings with Khap leaders, has ensured that Muslims and Jats reconcile to a large extent. Surprisingly, Muslims have maintained studied silence and have refused to react to attempt to provoke them and this has prevented polarization on religious lines. Dalits who form the second largest group in this region, have also not made their preferences clear, leaving political parties guessing. Five years ago, the then Akhilesh government faced a strong antiincumbency wave in this region, mainly due to its apathetic handling of the riot situation.

Women after casting their vote in the first phase of 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on April 11. (Photo: IANS)

The anti-SP wave was so pronounced that Akhilesh Yadav did not campaign in the Kairana by-election last year and his candidate Tabassum Hasan managed to win the seat on an RLD ticket. It is now the BJP that faces a double anti-incumbency, with its governments both at the Centre and state. The state government is particularly on the target because of the shutting down of slaughter houses that have affected meat traders and

exporters in the region. Cane farmers, whose dues are still pending, are up in arms against the Yogi government and UP ministers who have campaigned in the area, have been at the receiving end. The mob lynching of an inspector allegedly by rightwing activists following a cow slaughter incident in Bulandshahr in December last year has also earned flak for the Yogi government. Besides, the BJP faces a comparatively united opposition -- united on the issue of defeating the BJP.

Though the divisions within the opposition may still work in BJP’s favour in a multi-cornered contest, the fact remains that it has demoralized party workers to an extent. Polling in these eight constituencies on Thursday has been marked by allegations and counter-allegations. Former Union minister Sanjiv Baliyan alleged that “burqa clad women” were being allowed to cast fake votes. The BSP, on the other hand, alleged that Dalits were being prevented by the police from casting their votes.

PATNA: Despite several villages boycotting polls in the four Lok Sabha constituencies in Bihar on development issues, around 53 per cent voting was recorded amid few incidents of clashes and malfunctioning of EVMs on Thursday. Of the 70 lakh people, around 53 per cent voted by the end of the day in the Maoist-affected districts of Gaya, Nawada and Jamui in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections in the state. A few incidents of clashes were reported in some places, a poll official said. In Nawada, officials said, a youth was injured when some people opened fire at a booth during a clash between two groups. Earlier in the day, crude bombs found near three polling booths in Gaya and one in Aurangabad caused brief panic. All bombs were defused by the police. There were reports of glitches in electronic voting machines (EVMs) at some booths which were later fixed. At more than half a dozen villages in Gaya, Jamui and Nawada, people boycotted elections protesting lack of roads, schools and health centres. According to the State Election Commission officials, over 41,000 security personnel were deployed in the area that went to polls. —IANS

Sonia files nomination, Rahul attacks PM IANS, RAI BARELI

PA Chairperson and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi filed her nomination papers for the Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday and declared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not invincible. Congress President Rahul Gandhi, who accompanied his mother Sonia Gandhi, again mounted a blistering attack on the Prime Minister. “There have been many people in Indian history who had the arrogance to believe that they are

invincible and bigger than the people of the country,” he said. “Modi has done nothing for the people in the past five years and his invincibility will be there for all to see after elections.” Sonia Gandhi told reporters that she was confident of the love of the people of Rae Bareli. Asked whether she believed that Modi was invincible, she said “Remember 2004. Vajpayeeji was (considered) invincible but we won.” Sonia Gandhi was also accompanied by Congress General Secretary and her daughter Priyanka Gandhi, her husband Robert Vadra and their children.

EC holds Modi biopic, NaMo TV The Election Commission stops the release of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s biopic and orders a ban on NaMo TV till the Lok Sabha elections conclude IANS, NEW DELHI

he Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday stopped the release of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s biopic and ordered a ban on NaMo TV till the Lok Sabha elections conclude, saying that any material which disturbs a level playing field should not be displayed. “Any biopic in the nature of biography or hagiography subserving the purposes of any political entity or any individual entity connected to it or which has the potential to disturb the level playing field during the elections should not be displayed in electronic media, including cinemato-

Though the display materials claimed “to be part of creative content, it has been contended that these have propensity and potentiality to affect the level playing field” which is “not in consonance with the provisions of model code of conduct”, it said. The Commission added there is an emergent need for intervention in such political content “intended (or purported to be) for benefiting or discrediting the electoral prospects” of any candidate or political party, for ensuring a level playing field.

900 artistes vouch for ‘mazboot sarkar’

Uri’ director mourns Navtej Hundal’s sudden demise MUMBAI: “Uri - The Surgical Strike” director Aditya Dhar still can’t believe that Navtej Hundal, the actor who played the Home Minister in the blockbuster war film, passed away suddenly on April 8 after a brief illness. Dhar said: “The first time I met Navtej sir was during the look test for ‘Uri’. The moment our make-up designer Vikram Gaikwad sir conceived and set his look and he wore the costume, I knew he was perfect for the role of the Home Minister.” Navtej’s role was based on Home Minister Rajnath Singh.

An EC official said that restrictions would also apply to NaMo TV -- a channel dedicated to Modi’s rallies and speeches. The order issued by the pollpanel added that in case of a violation, a committee constituted by the Commission would examine the same and suggest appropriate action. The committee would be headed by a retired Supreme Court judge or a retired Chief Justice of any high court. The poll panel said it had received complaints about certain films, namely “NTR Laxmi”, “PM Narendra Modi” and “Udyama

director said: “His accent and voice tonality was just perfect. Every day before the shoot, he would Navtej Hundal bless me on the set. He always had very encouraging words for everyone! It’s truly very sad. All this just shows how unpredictable life is. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. May his soul rest in peace.” Navjet is survived by his wife and two daughters. —IANS

ver 900 artistes and people from the field of literature on Wednesday appealed to fellow voters to vote without pressure and prejudice, and elect a “mazboot sarkar” (strong government), not a “majboor sarkar” (helpess government), in the wake of challenges like terrorism. The long list contains some prominent names like actor Vivek Oberoi, classical vocalist Pandit Jasraj, music composer Shankar Mahadevan, Kuchipudi dancing duo Raja-Radha Reddy, theatre artiste Waman Kendre, Dhrupad

Shankar Mahadevan. vocalist Ustad Wasifuddin Dagar and Statue of Unity sculptor Ram Sutar. As per what 93-year-old’s son Anil Sutar told IANS, a recent meeting of Indian artistes was held

by BJP MP and Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR) president Vinay Sahastrabuddhe, when they were asked of their opinion on the ruling government. The group, which came out openly in support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has also said that they need the present government to continue. In the statement, they said: “We, creative artistes and persons belonging to the field of literature appeal to all our fellow citizens to cast their vote and exercise their right to elect the new government without any pressure and prejudice.”

Why ‘Criminal Justice’ is better than ‘Sacred Games’

nly 15 minutes into this crime drama, and I was hooked. This, despite having seen the BBC series of the same name and also the HBO film “The Night Of” in which Riz Ahmed played the cabbie who ends up in bed with a troubled female passenger and finds her dead next to him the next morning. The always-interesting Vikrant Massey slips into Riz Ahmed’s role, played by Ben Whishaw in the original BBC series. All three are extraordinary in portraying the traumatized murder accused who is actually a victim. But Vikrant has an edge as far as projecting vulnerability is concerned. Right from the start when his interest in his hyper-strung passenger aggravates into passionate sex, to his arrest and

Filmmaker Vishal Furia.

his nightmarish experiences in jail (where he is nearly raped), Vikrant strips himself naked emotionally and physically, to play a man who never dreamt he would be in jail. The original idea is never thrust

rudely into the ‘desi’ remake. Directors Tigmasnhu Dhulia and Vishal Furia work their way organically through the crime drama, imbuing the inherent thrills of the plot with a sense of bridled curiosity. We

already know the plot. But we want to see how the adaptation has moved away from the original BBC series and the HBO mini-series. “Criminal Justice” never falls short of expectations. There is an admirable fluidity in the storytelling as we journey through hell with the protagonist Aditya. Having a bunch of the most accomplished actors available to mankind, helps give the ten episodes an irresistible heft. While every actor is in-sync with

the dark, gripping mood of a crime that isn’t as simple as it seems, no one gets it better than Pankaj Tripathi. Playing a sleazy low-down lawyer slumming it out at police stations pimping for desperate clients, Pankaj brings to his character a moral centre in spite of his seeming dissipation. “Criminal Justice” plays out the crime investigation, courtroom intrigue and prison horror in bouts of brilliantly written scenes (by Shridhar Raghavan). The writing is in fact, far superior to that in the overrated “Sacred Games”. What “Criminal Justice” tells us about the subverted judicial system is far more relevant than the ‘thriller’ intentions that play out on the surface of this edge-of-the-seat crime drama. — Subhash K Jha

Priyanka trips, clasps Nick’s arm, avoids fall

Asked to change ‘How’s the josh?’

he tripped and almost fell, but his biceps saved her. That’s just what happened with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas on a recent outing. In a video doing the rounds, Nick and Priyanka are seen keeping to their routine of walking hand in hand on a stairway. While Priyanka, dressed in black, was busy waving to fans, happy to see the couple, she tripped.

hile “How’s the josh?” from the film “Uri: The Surgical Strike” remains etched in the minds of Hindi movie lovers, the film’s director Aditya Dhar says that at one point during the shoot, he was about to change the line following a suggestion from actor Vicky Kaushal. Recalling the incident, Dhar said: “We first shot the line ‘How’s the josh?’ during the Myanmar sequence. Two minutes before the camera rolled, Vicky came to me and asked me to change the line because he thought somewhere the ‘feel’ was not coming. I tried to explain that to motivate their team, army commanders talk like that, so let’s give it a try.”

But Nick was by her side in her “oops” moment. She held on to his arm and regained her balance, with a huge smile on her face, followed by a laugh. It is one of those moments that has made Nick and Priyanka one of the most watched out among the celebrity couples on the social media. Their wedding in Jodhpur last December drew widespread global media attention.

Disha grooves to Selena’s song

ctress Disha Patani has shared a video of her dance moves on the song, “I can’t get enough” by American singer Selena Gomez. Disha shared the video on Instagram on Friday. It features the “Baaghi 2” actress along with celebrity dance trainer Dimple Kotecha shaking a leg on the groovy number. She captioned it: “Just chilling with Dimple Kotecha. In love with this new track. ‘I can’t get enough’.” On the Bollywood front, Disha will soon be seen in Salman Khan-starrer “Bharat”, which also features Katrina Kaif.

‘My equation with Salman won’t change’

ctress Sonakshi Sinha says her equation with superstar Salman Khan, with whom she starred in her debut film “Dabangg”, will never change no matter where she goes in her career. “Every time I enter the set of ‘Dabangg’, it is a special feeling. I started my journey 10 years ago with that film. It was my debut film opposite Salman Khan. My equation will never change with him no matter how many films I sign and what I achieve as an actress. The “Dabangg” franchise started in 2010.

‘Positive stuff there for female stars’

US TV continues to embrace Indian actors

iversity in American television seems to be on the rise as actress Pallavi Sharda is the latest Bollywood actress to bag a show in the US. Pallavi, who has featured in Bollywood films like “Besharam” and “Hawaizaada”, has been chosen as the female lead opposite Mike Vogel in the ABC drama pilot “Triangle”. Directed by McG, “Triangle” poses the question, what if the Bermuda Triangle was not a watery grave in the middle of the ocean but a land lost in time that has trapped travellers over the course of human history?

hah Rukh Khan feels the attitude towards women is changing for good in India. The Indian superstar says there are lots of positive developments for female actors in the film industry. The actor expressed his views on the changing gender dynamics in Indian entertainment industry in an interview to BBC Asian Network. He was in London to receive an honorary doctorate in Philanthropy from The University of Law, London. “The roles of women and the kind of attitude you have at the workplace for women is changing for positive,” Shah Rukh said in a video on the official Twitter handle of BBC Asian Network. — All stories from IANS

Ground Breaking Ceremony of Cricket Project in Hanover Park BY DR. NILESH D. MEHTA HANOVER PARK, IL- Cricket in the United States is being played at several locations and that too at competitive levels. Several leagues in major cities across the country have been locking horns to gain supremacy for their territorial bragging rights. Cricket Council USA has continued to engage in cricket activities not only in Florida but slowly expanding their presence in Georgia and Illinois among other geographic areas. This organization has provided a platform for the players to play the sport in different parts of the country. CCUSA classifies itself as a ‘Sports and Entertainment Management Organisation’ and is famous for its annual T20 competition held every year in Florida. It remains a non-sanctioned organisation with no affiliation to the United States of America Cricket Association (USACA). Baseball continues to be the favorite summer sport for folks in the USA. Having drawn some parallel as an entertainment package from this sport, the concept of Twenty20 was born more than a decade ago. Within a few years, there are leagues of this ultrashort format of cricket all over the world including Bangladesh and Afghanistan. It certainly provides a result oriented, fast paced, entertaining cricket. Purists argue that Twenty20 is not real cricket, however, this is what brings cricketainment to the current generation of cricket fans. Even in the USA, many years, several leagues and tournaments with the short format have become popular. While the climate for year long cricket is certainly not conducive to Chicago, there are enough clubs and interested cricketers in the windy city to garner attention for this sport. Suburban population of folks from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka is increasing rapidly and would certainly justify the creation of a new cricket stadium in Hanover Park, Illinois. At the ground-breaking ceremony of this cricket project on Saturday, April 6, 2019, enthusiastic members of the Midwest Cricket Conference welcomed the crowd. Mayor of Hanover Park, Mr. Rodney S. Craig, initially

welcomed his staff and thanked them for their involvement in this ambitious project. Speaking to HiINDiA, Mr. Craig said, “it is an amazing day for the village of Hanover Park. This has been a dream of the South Asian community. My staff has worked with Shiraz Najam, MAQ and his team mates to make this work.” Shiraz Najam, President of Midwest Cricket Conference, diligently took his time to thank all of the invited guests at the inauguration of this concept in Hanover Park. Around 20 acres of land will be provided for building this modern cricket facility. Details of the cricket facility are not fully forthcoming at this time. For now, clean-up of the area will be undertaken and construction will hopefully start in a few months from now. Chirag Patel has been Shiraz’s able ally in this project. Shiraz thanked the Mayor of Hanover Park for joining hands in this major endeavor for the cricket loving community. Shiraz commented, “One needs a vision and then resources for any project’s success.” He added,” I would like extend my sincere thanks to MAQ and Mr. Amin Markatia.” Cricket administrator and businessman, Mahammad “Maq” Qureshi has been largely instrumental in helping with project. His enterprising attitude and infusion of dollars in this project certainly has propelled this concept

favorably. Through his cricket sponsorship and vision, he has been making strides for the promotion of cricket in the United States. He is also CEO and Founder of CCUSA - Cricket Council United States of America. Mahammad Qureshi has been the mastermind behind this project and speaking to HiINDiA said,” I had always thought of some international level stadium in Chicago. I want to thank the mayor of Hanover Park Mr. Rodney S. Craig for joining hands with us. We have worked long and hard to make this a reality and it fills me with great pride that we can finally have a home for cricket in Chicago.” Indian community leaders like Sunil Shah, Neil Khot, and Heena Trivedi were also spotted during this event. Speaking to HiINDiA, they collectively shared a common sentiment of the importance of a cricket stadium. They all felt that this will bring the communities together and promote cricket in the Midwest. Several dignitaries from the Pakistani community were also present in support of this event. Saturday, April 6, 2019 will go down in history books as a day when cricket in the Midwest took a mega step. Hopefully, in the near future, this venue will be able to host international matches. In Hanover Park, cricket emerged the winner today.

DHS Indian American Tech Manager Admits Stealing Database BY A STAFF WRITER STERLING, VA- A federal technology manager admitted Thursday to conspiring with a former acting inspector general of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to steal a data¬base managing more than 150,000 internal investigations and containing personal data of nearly 250,000 DHS employees, court filings show. The manager gave copies of the database — valued at more than $3.1 million and including “critical, confidential information,” a federal judge said at a plea hearing — to a former DHS acting inspector general to develop a commercial version of the management system and sell that back to other government agencies. Sonal Patel, 44, of Sterling, Va., faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit theft of government property, and agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors regarding a scheme that ran from 2014 to 2017. “I plead guilty,” said Patel, who was accompanied by attorney Thomas C. Hillin court. U.S. District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of Washington accepted the plea and set a hearing date for June 5. As part of a plea deal, Collyer agreed to delay sentencing while Patel cooperates with prosecutors with the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia and the Justice Department’s public integrity section. Under the deal, prosecutors agreed not to charge Patel with any other offenses. Officials did not name “Co-Conspirator 1” in court papers, but detailed a government work history and identified an associated Maryland business that the person founded. A former DHS acting inspector general whose biography appears to match the court filings and appears to have founded a business of the same name, according to online corporate records, did not return telephone messages Thursday seeking an interview. According to plea filings, Patel worked as a branch chief in the information technology division of the inspector general’s office and oversaw the development and maintenance of its Enforcement Database System, which was modeled after a similar ¬inspector-general system with the U.S. Postal Service, where Patel worked before 2009. From October 2014 until 2017, Patel “used your position within the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General to access and create copies of EDS’s source code, [the] database and personal identifying information” of DHS and Postal Service employees “to provide to co-conspirators to develop a private, commercial version of ‘EDS 2.0,’” Collyer said, reciting the government’s evidence. Patel’s partners worked to develop and sell a commercial version to the U.S. Agriculture Department, Collyer said. The government cited email correspondence from Patel’s work and personal accounts and online meetings in June 2016 and March 2017 between her, Co-Conspirator 1 and an Indianbased software development company, which the conspirator’s company had allegedly contracted to develop a private version of the DHS investigation case-management system. Court filings also show that Co-Conspirator 1 worked at DHS from February 2008 until 2013, including as acting inspector general, and before that at the Transportation Security Administration and the Postal Service, where he supervised Patel. The database included tracking information for all investigations into allegations of criminal, civil or administrative wrong¬doing by DHS workers, contractors, grant recipients, beneficiaries and other associated entities between 2002 and 2017, the department said in a January 2018 privacy notice.
