QUOTE OF THE

DAY

Editors’ Picks

More than an indiscretionRegardless of whether External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was only acting on ‘humanitari-an grounds’ while recommending the grant of a temporary travel document to Lalit Kumar Modi, the former commissioner of the Indian Premier League now living in exile in Britain, her action will be seen as helping a man wilfully evading investigation in India. The government and the ruling BJP are backing Ms. Swaraj, and have ac-cepted her explanation that she had done nothing wrong and there was no big moral issue involved. She claims she had merely said the Government of India had no objection if Britain chose to allow Mr. Modi to travel to Portugal to sign consent pa-pers for his wife’s surgery for cancer. However, there are doubts whether there was a requirement for such consent from her husband at all. Further, there appears to be a conscious change in the gov-ernment’s policy towards Mr. Modi, who is want-ed by the Enforcement Directorate for suspected involvement in violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act. The previous UPA government revoked his passport in 2011 on the ground that he was avoiding personal appearance before the au-thorities and that he had contravened FEMA pro-visions to the tune of hundreds of crores of rupees and parked money outside India. The cancellation of his passport was a means to bring Mr. Modi, who has been living in London since 2010, back to India. Ms. Swaraj’s communication to the British government, therefore, constituted an unwarranted change of policy and an unacceptable concession to one who has shown no inclination to join the investigation on the specious claim that he faces a threat to his personal safety in India. There is an-other dimension to this issue: the clear presence of a conflict of interest in Ms. Swaraj dealing with Mr. Lalit Modi. Her daughter was counsel for the for-mer IPL chief in a case that led to the Delhi High Court, in August 2014, quashing the order revoking his passport. This verdict has not been challenged by the present government. A British MP interced-ed on his behalf with the immigration authorities there, citing Ms. Swaraj’s name. All this gives the impression that the Narendra Modi government, and not merely Ms. Swaraj, has been soft on Mr. Lalit Modi. It is not surprising, therefore, that the party and government are solidly behind her. How-ever, Opposition criticism is getting strident, and questions are being raised whether the Prime Min-ister is condoning what appears to be a case of a senior Minister using her discretionary power in favour of a friend. The government cannot remain silent and wait for the storm to pass, but must act to remedy the situation. It also ought to spell out how it intends to pursue the ongoing investigations against Mr. Modi.

Agency | New DelhiAfter Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor, there is another Bollywood heartthrob, who is ready to get hitched to his lady love soon. We are talking about Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. If rumours are to be be-lieved, the ‘Ram-Leela’ couple is all set to ex-change rings in February 2016. According to a re-port published in Bolly-woodlife.com, “Deepika and Ranveer have got an approval from both the families and are all set to

exchange rings and make their relationship official in February 2016.” The actor, who never ceases to suprise his fans and followers with his quirky tweets and even quirkier appearances at the award functions, was once quoted as saying in an old interview, “I used to resist growing up but it is happening very organ-ically. I am 29 and have a very simple aim today. I want to be an honour-able family man. I have been thinking a lot about settling down.” Deepika

and Ranveer have nev-er admitted to their re-lationship but their off screen appearances bear enough proof to convey about their love affair. Be it Ranveer going on a shopping trip with Deep-ika’s family or him fly-ing down to Bengaluru from Malaysia, just to celebrate the birthday of Deepika’s father – the ru-moured couple has time and again proved that the ‘rumoured’ tag needs to be shed off. Happy end-ings! We surely can’t wait for the big day.

The Bengaluru police have filed an FIR against Tamil superstar Ra-jinikanth’s wife Latha in an alleged case of forg-ery and using fake docu-ments. According to re-ports, a private complaint was filed against Latha and three others for dou-ble selling the rights of the film Kochadaiiyaan in November 2014. The movie was directed by Rajinikanth’s daughter Soundarya R. The case

was registered on the di-rections of a magistrate’s court after a complaint was filed by AdBureau Advertising of Chennai. The FIR was registered under provisions of the Indian Penal Code relat-ed to cheating, forgery and making false state-ment as part of evidence. According to AdBureau, the superstar’s wife, who was a guarantor for the film, sold the distribution rights of Kochadaiiyaa to another firm in Tam-il Nadu, while the pri-

vate firm was promised a distribution agreement in return for their fund-ing of Rs 10 crore. Latha also allegedly forged a letterhead of the Welfare Association of India and the Press Club to acquire a gag order on the media. Latha denied the charges of declaration of false statements, use of false evidence and cheating and reportedly slapped a legal notice on the firm and its MD Abhirchand Nahar after the news broke.

Just a day after Kanga-na Ranaut accepted that she has refused to sign Salman Khan starrer ‘Sultan’ due to schedule issues, the news reports suggest that Parineeti Chopra has been signed for the role. Seems like Kangana’s loss has turned out be Parineeti’s gain. However, there is no confirmation from the side of the makers or the actress but if the reports are true, the Ish-

aqzaade star will be ro-mancing the Dabangg star in yet another Yash Raj Films production. A source told DNA, “Parineeti is now train-ing hard to perfect the nuances of the charac-ter and also look like a wrestler”. The source added, “Like Salman, the leading heroine is also a wrestler in the film. Sultan is not about glorifying Salman. So it was not too difficult to get Parineeti to say yes”.

Yet, she was very keen to watch the film on the big screen and wanted to experience it all over again. And this was a different experience for her altogether! The irony is that Kriti will be working with the two actors in her

upcoming film Dilwale, directed by Rohit Shetty. The film starring SRK, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti, has gone on floors. Kriti felt pure-ly nostalgic when she saw the film again on the big screen and all the memories came rushing back to her.

Actor Sanjay Dutt has once again sought for a 30-day parole. The actor moved is application be-fore divisional commis-sioner Vikas Deshmukh in Pune. “Sanjay Dutt has filed for a parole. A decision to grant parole will be taken only after reasons for his applica-tion are considered and requisite clearances are made available from Mumbai police,” said an police officer request-

He had sought for an extension to his furlough which was later denied by prison authorities. But in cases of parole the cir-cumstances are stricter as compared to furlough and the prisoner has to prove that someone in his fami-ly is unwell and depends on the prisoner for his well-being. The report of the hospital and the po-lice is sought by the com-missioner before parole is granted, said police sources. Actor has been serving five year sen-

Howev-er, his sentence so far has been dotted with repeated furlough and parole: In October 2013, Dutt was granted furlough. This was extended by 14 days. Then, in December 2013, he was granted parole for 30 days, which again was extended twice. The ac-tor’s sister had stood as guarantor and deposited Rs15,000 as surety.

Ignore even the much-hyped ag-gressive intent. The big-gest tangible difference between Virat Kohli the captain and MS Dhoni the leader is how they address press confer-ences. The contrast al-most jumped out on you

on Sunday when after a hard day’s work Kohli re-flected on the Test match and everything else about it. He spoke at length, and he spoke well. At that moment, Kohli looked like he belong there, the future captain many had envisaged when he gave that quote after chairing Sachin Tendulkar on his shoulder at the Wankhede on April 2, 2011. “He has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years; It was time we carried him,” Kohli had said. In his

place, MS Dhoni —who had, in fact, led India to the World Cup title — would have spewed some inane cliche like: “At the end of the day, the point is…” before losing you completely. Kohli was at his eloquent best at Fat-ullah on Sunday evening. None more so perhaps than when he began to explain Dhoni’s haunting absence from the dressing room. Somewhere in his response you could feel for him, like you had lost someone close to you too.

Facebook has launched a new application “Mo-ments” that allows us-ers to share hundreds of photos of their friends from the camera roll us-ing the face-recognition technology. that powers the suggested tags users see when adding a photo of a friend. According to the Verge, the app scans the user’s camera roll for familiar faces and al-lows them to “sync” the

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 listing sparks rumours of June 16 launch

‘Mobile subscriptions in India likely to touch 1.4 billion by 2020’

Agency | New Delhi

TThe rumoured Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 smartphone has been leaked again. In a listing on China’s Op-pomart, an e-commerce website selling Chinese smartphones, the Redmi Note 2 will run on the Snapdragon 615 SoC and sports a 5.7 inch 1080p display and 13MP rear camera. Interestingly, the image that Oppomart has used for the listing has till now been thought to be of another rumoured Xiaomi device, the upcoming flag-

ship Xiaomi Mi5. Xiaomi has already announced an upcoming event in Beijing on June 16, during which the company is expected to launch its next flagship smartphone. Now, there are one of two possibil-ities — either the Xiao-mi Mi5 will be launched alongside the Redmi Note 2, or the Redmi Note 2 alone will be launched. The other option obvious-ly is that Oppomart’s list-ing is inaccurate and the image is actually that of the Xiaomi Mi5.

New Zealand coach Mike Hesson believes his side are now facing a far more ‘scary’ England team compared to the one the Blackcaps thrashed at the World Cup. In February, New Zealand hammered England by eight wickets in Wellington en route to a World Cup final which they lost to co-hosts Aus-tralia. The Blackcaps skittled out England for just 123 on that occasion, with Tim Southee taking a New Zealand one-day international record sev-en for 33. New Zealand then chased down their meagre target in a mere 12.2 overs, with skip-per Brendon McCullum blasting 77 in 25 balls. But Hesson’s men hav-en’t had things all their own way during their ongoing five-match one-day international series in England. The first ODI at Edgbaston saw En-gland make 408 for nine in a 210-run win -- both national records. New

Bolivia scored three first half goals and then with-stood heavy second half pressure to overcome Ec-uador 3-2 on Monday in the highest scoring match of the Copa America so far. Ecuador had not lost to Bolivia in the tourna-ment since 1949 but they were soon trailing as Bo-livia launched an open-ing blitz in the Group A match. Bolivian captain Ronald Raldes got the first in five minutes when he stooped to head home a corner kick from Mar-tin Smedberg-Dalence, who doubled the lead 13 minutes later when he side-footed home from 25 yards out. Ecuador should have pulled a goal back from the penalty spot after 38 minutes but Enner Valencia had his kick saved at the second attempt after the referee

Discovery Acquires Setanta Sports Asia Network

Discovery Communica-tions said Tuesday that its Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific unit has ac-quired Setanta Sports Asia, a sports channel special-izing in rugby. Reach-ing more than 42 million homes across 16 countries, Setanta Sports Asia is one of the fastest-growing sports channels in Asia,

the company said. “It su-per serves passionate fans with some of the best rug-by league and union events from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres,” it added. Financial details weren’t disclosed. The ac-quisition comes with a new five-year renewal of South African, New Zealand and Australian Rugby rights. The network’s other pro-gramming includes the Eu-ropean Rugby Champions Cup and England’s Aviva Premiership.

Zealand levelled the se-ries with a 13-run Duck-worth/Lewis success at The Oval but only after England, initially chasing 399 for victory, had been 345 for seven and need-ing 54 more runs from 37 balls when rain stopped play. The Blackcaps, however, went 2-1 up at the Rose Bowl in South-ampton on Sunday after restricting England to 302 all out. But they still needed a New Zealand record third-wicket stand of 206 between Kane Williamson (118) and Ross Taylor (110) to take them close to completing a three-wicket win which

was only sealed with an over to spare. England’s team at the Rose Bowl contained just four survi-vors from their Welling-ton humiliation in skipper Eoin Morgan, batsman Joe Root, wicket-keeper Jos Buttler, and fast bowl-er Steven Finn. Improving England’s standing in 50-over cricket is a key aim for new director of crick-et Andrew Strauss and now the likes of opener Alex Hales, all-rounder Ben Stokes, leg-spinner Adil Rashid, and left-arm paceman David Willey are being given a chance to show what they can do at international level.

LTE subscriptions are likely to top 230 mil-lion, forming around 17% of the total subscription base by 2020, it said. The WCDMA/HSPA sub-scriptions are anticipated to grow from over 120 million in 2014 to around 620 million by 2020, and will account for 45% of the total subscription base by that time, it added. GSM/EDGE technology has the widest reach in In-dia with 95% population coverage while WCDMA/HSPA is expected to cover approximately 90% by the end of 2020.

Admissions to engineer-ing colleges this year could turn out to be a dream neatly machined for students. Merit marks are likely to be lower this year compared to the pre-vious year and that means students with low per-centages can still make it to institutes of their choice. The scenario — however encouraging for students — has spurred anxiety in self-financed colleges. The provisional list is being viewed as a merit bomb by the self-fi-nanced colleges because the institutes are finding it tough to get enough students to fill seats. The first provisional merit list has revealed that 7,430

fewer students have qual-ified compared to the previous year. “This year only 55,317 students have qualified for admission in engineering colleges against 62,747 in 2014,” said an official of the Admission Committee for Professional Cours-es (ACPC). “So even if all students who have qualified take admission, 16,482 seats will remain vacant.” The provision-al merit list has been based on the calculation of the board and JEE ex-aminations results. The board has accorded 60% weightage to the percen-tile obtained in the board exam and 40% weightage to the percentile obtained in JEE.

In spite of stricter passport and immigration rules, Gu-jaratis are ready to pay huge amounts for fake passport and visa to achieve their foreign dreams. In a new modus operandi, a carrier was caught while trying to take a woman to Can-ada on fake documents from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International airport. A man and woman posing as couple were held at in-ternational terminal of city airport with fake passport and visa by officials of Bureau of Immigration on late Saturday night. The duo was to fly to Canada by a Qatar Airways flight before they were caught. Sardarnagar police arrest-ed Bangalore based Arun Alphonse and a Kadi based woman on Sunday for trav-elling on fake passport and visa stamp. “Arun is a car-rier and he was supposed to

get Rs 3 lakh for taking the woman safely to Canada. The passport of the woman was in the name of Arun’s wife Jenitha Alphonse,” said K K Patel, senior po-lice inspector, Sardarnagar. During the investigation, police found that the pass-port which the Kadi based woman was carrying in the name of Jenitha was procured on the basis of bogus documents from Thane in Maharashtra. “Arun and that woman had a deal worth Rs 15 lakh with Thane based agent Sujal Shah,” said Patel. Sources said that Shah had provided the duo with fake passports and visa stamps. “Suddenly there is an increase in number of people wanting to go to Canada from Gujarat. Also agents and carriers target Ahmedabad airport believ-ing that it would be easy to get through immigration here,” added Sources.
