Megastar Amitabh Bachchan thanked all those who congratulated him for his best actor National Award win, saying he is “most grateful”.
Bachchan, 73, was named best actor for his role in Shoojit Sircar’s “Piku” at the 63rd National Film Awards announced in the capital yesterday.
“To them that congratulate me for the National Award – most grateful… thank you is never enough expression,” Bachchan wrote on Twitter.
He previously won the honour for “Agneepath”, “Black” and “Paa”.
Bachchan celebrated the win with wife Jaya Bachchan and the crew members of an advertisement he was shooting with the latter.
“Working with the wife today for an ad, promotion and some moments from there, they celebrate my National Award on set and then as I leave the studio they burst a few crackers .. sweet,” he wrote on his blog alongside some pictures from the set.
Bachchan also congratulated other winners including Gujarat, which was named the most film friendly state at the National Film Awards for its effort to ease shooting films.
“Congratulations National Award winners and to the State of Gujarat that wins ‘Most Film Friendly State’.”
The actor is currently the brand ambassador of Gujarat Tourism.PTI.
Underscoring the challenges posed by the dearth of women in peacekeeping activities, India has called for increasing involvement of women in prevention and resolution of conflicts.
“There is a need to increase and institutionalise the involvement of women in conflict prevention and resolution.
This requires not only normative advice but capacity building and institution building at the ground level,” India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Syed Akbaruddin said here yesterday.
Speaking at the Security Council debate on ‘Role of Women in Prevention and Resolution of Conflict in Africa’, Akbaruddin noted the advances made in Africa in gender empowerment but said considerable challenges lie ahead given the dearth of women in peacekeeping activities.
He cited UN reports to point out that women globally constituted less than four per cent of signatories to peace agreements and less than 10 per cent of negotiators at peace tables.
Women also constitute only three per cent of the military and 10 per cent of the police who are deployed by the UN in peace missions.
“These numbers reflect the enormity of the challenges that we are confronted with,” Akbaruddin said, adding that despite the increased focus on the Women Peace and Security agenda, women and girls continue to be major victims.
“The issue of Women Peace and Security cannot be seen in isolation from the wider societal context involving gender and development issues,” he said.
India, which is the lead troop contributor to UN peacekeeping missions, has the distinction of providing the first ever Female Formed Police Unit for the UN in Liberia.
“While there has been only a marginal increase overall in the number of women peacekeepers, the first ever Female Formed Police Unit for UN was provided by India for deployment in Liberia. The unit has been widely appreciated for its work and for setting a pioneering example,” Akbaruddin said.
He said India has also contributed lady officers as Military Observers and Staff Officers in addition to deployment with the Medical Units.
The Indian envoy further noted the efforts taken by the international community to address the issues of gender equality, empowerment and development in a holistic manner.
In another significant capacity-building initiative, the New Delhi-based Centre for United Nations Peacekeeping (CUNPK) in partnership with the UN Women, is now conducting the 3rd United Nations Female Military Officers Course (UNFMOC) for 40 women military officers from 26 countries.
UN Women head Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka also called for greater efforts to reach the goal of allocating at least 15 per cent of peacebuilding resources to gender equality and women’s empowerment.
“Women need to be resourced so that they can do more. The commitment to allocate at least 15 per cent of peacebuilding funds to gender equality and women’s empowerment, must become a reality,” Mlambo-Ngcuka told the Security Council.PTI
The Supreme Court today dismissed petitions challenging the validity of amendments made in the 114-year-old Land Acquisition Act to save a portion of a five-star resort in Goa which was earlier ordered to be demolished.
“We find no merit in the petitions. We uphold the validity of the amendments made to the Land Acquisition Act,” a bench of Justices Ranjan Gogoi and Prafulla C Pant said.
In 2009, Goa government promulgated an ordinance to amend the law in order to save a portion of five-star resort of Cidade de Goa, owned by Fomento Resorts and Hotels, which had been ordered to be demolished by the Supreme Court.
The apex court, on January 21, 2009 had ordered the demolition of the portion which houses 54 hotel rooms besides a health club, conference and business rooms and other facilities.
The court had given the order as the hotel management violated certain guidelines in the agreement reached between the government and the resort.
The state had decided to promulgate an ordinance amending the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 so that the government is empowered to modify any agreement with the hotel management to meet any exigencies.
The Dona Paula-based resort was given land by the government under certain conditions, including public access to the beach.PTI
Summing up South Africa’s dismal show in World T20, captain Faf du Plessis said small mistakes like conceding loads of extras in the games against England and the West Indies made a big impact and led to his team’s early exit from the mega-event.
The Proteas, one of the strong contenders, conceded 26 extras against England including 20 wides while defending 229 for four, and eventually lost. Against the Caribbeans, they could not defend 122, losing the match in the last over having conceded 10 extras that had eight wides.
Du Plessis said even as “T20 cricket is sometimes a gamble”, there are a few things that teams can control.
“Sometimes Chris Gayle rocks up and wins the game for you. But one thing I can say is that we were poor in our extras. Every game we had more wides and no balls than the opposition and that’s always the basic and controllable,” Du Plessis said after his side’s “bitter-sweet” eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in their last game of Super 10 here last night.
“It’s your job is to try and get the ball inside that line and if you do it less than the opposition, it’s generally five and 10 runs that you don’t have to score with the bat.
That’s possibly the key area for me in the first two games that we lost,” he added.
Stating that small mistakes can alter the outcome of the games, the skipper said: “We played good cricket leading up to the World Cup. We were very consistent in the subcontinent. We beat all teams that have travelled here. World Cup is a do-or-die tournament. We made one or two mistakes and they punished us.
“Tonight was a good example, Sri Lanka made one or two mistakes while batting and we capitalised on that. We have only to blame ourselves. The sad thing now is that it’s four years for the next World Cup,” he rued.
Sri Lanka posted 120 that South Africa achieved in 17.4 overs but Du Plessis termed the low-scoring chase as “tricky”.
“The bowlers bowled really well and we chased down a small total which is never easy on these wickets. It’s always tricky. It was really important for us to have a good partnership to start with because the only way the team will beat you is if it get wickets upfront. So, after the run out it was nice that we could make it a bit stable. Yeah it’s bittersweet. We’re going back out of the World Cup.
“We came here with a great squad, wanting to win the World Cup. We didn’t play our best cricket. That’s not how we wanted to go. We have only ourselves to blame. We were planning to do much better. But we’re a proud team.PTI

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today accused BJP of spending “hundreds of crores” of rupees in an attempt to topple his government with the help of Governor, echoing allegations of his Himachal counterpart that BJP was trying to destablise Congress governments in states.
“BJP spent lots of money. They wasted hundreds of crores before the Bihar elections to topple the government in Assam.
They tried it by taking Himanta (Biswa Sarma) and other MLAs, but they could not do it,” Gogoi told a press conference here targeting the central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had launched a blistering attack on the Congress leader during the recent poll rallies in Assam.
Sarma, once a trusted Congress minister of Gogoi who is presently in BJP, had almost garnered the support of 35 MLAs and tried the same tactics used in Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand of shifting the base to BJP, he claimed.
“The Governor (Padmanabha Balakrishan Acharya) was also involved in this. Without his support how is it possible? That is why, the Centre is not appointing a permanent Governor in Assam. That is why they are appointing all RSS people as Governors,” Gogoi alleged.
He further said if the 35 MLAs, whose support was shown to be withdrawn from Gogoi’s leadership in front of the Congress High Command, had really shifted their allegiance to BJP, the government would have fallen instantly.
Gogoi also regretted his decision to trust Sarma during his tenure with the Congress.
“Yes, I trusted him a lot. He betrayed a simple man like me. Himanta and all his supporters were not original Congressmen. They come and go. Himanta was with ULFA, then AASU, AGP, Congress and now (a) BJP man,” he said.
Talking about the Uttarakhand crisis, the Chief Minister said the entire development is “just a murder of democracy”.
“You did it in Arunachal and now Uttarakhand. The government was to test its majority next day and you (Centre) toppled it. (This is) Hitler in India! This is dictatorial and a murder of democracy,” he alleged.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh had accused the Modi dispensation of trying to “destabilise and topple” his government by using central agencies. He alleged the Centre has been destabilising Congress-ruled states one by one and cited examples of Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand where President’s Rule was imposed.PTI
The Pakistani Joint Investigation Team (JIT) accompanied by Indian officials today headed for Pathankot in connection with the probe into the January 2 terror attack at IAF base.
The five-member Pakistani team led by Punjab’s Additional Inspector General of Police, Counter Terrorism Department, Muhammad Tahir Rai landed at Sri Guru Ramdas International Airport in Amritsar and left for Pathankot by road amid tight security.
JIT and National Investigation Agency (NIA) will take stock of the probe into the Pathankot terror attack today, officials said.
Punjab Police was escorting the convoy of the Pakistani team which also has ISI’s Lt Col rank officer Tanvir Ahmed, Lahore’s Deputy Director General Intelligence Bureau Mohammad Azim Arshad, Military Intelligence Lt Col Irfan Mirza and Gujaranwala CTD Investigating Officer Shahid Tanveer.
Police officials said they have diligently barricaded areas around the IAF facility .
“The district police has been informed about the visit and deployments have been done accordingly,” a senior police official said.
A large police contingent has been deployed in and around Dhangu village where the IAF base is located.
Meanwhile, Congress workers staged a protest near the air base against the visit by the Pakistani investigators.
Government has made it clear that the Pakistani team will have “restricted” access to the air base with the NIA taking them to a select areas where the over 80-hour gun battle led to the killing of at least four terrorists and seven security personnel.
Orange and blue coloured tarpaulin can be seen draping the interiors of the strategic facility, in an apparent indication of “visual prohibition” being put in place.
Investigators from India and Pakistan had met in Delhi yesterday. It is for the first time that that a Pakistani team has visited the country to probe a terror case.
The opposition parties have slammed the move with Congress saying that “unfettered access” given to Pakistan’s JIT by according an almost “red carpet welcome” raised serious questions on procedural propriety in relation to compromise on national security and likened it to an accused investigating himself.PTI
The Delhi High Court today sought the response of Delhi Police and a woman volunteer of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on a plea filed by its leader Kumar Vishwas seeking quashing of an FIR lodged against him for alleged offence of sexual harrasment.
Justice Sunita Gupta issued notice for July 21 to the police and the woman volunteer on whose complaint a magisterial court had on March 16 ordered registration of the FIR against Vishwas in the matter.
The FIR for alleged offences under sections 354 A (sexual harassment) and 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult modesty of a woman) of IPC was registered against Vishwas at Sarojini Nagar Police Station here in pursuance to the direction of the magisterial court.
In its order, the magistrate had observed that the accused had made “sexually coloured” remarks and made advances towards the complainant which required police probe.
During the hearing today, senior advocate H S Phoolka, appearing for Vishwas, claimed that allegations levelled against his client were false and the complainant woman had regularly made incorrect accusations against the AAP leader.
Phoolka said that police has initially probed the matter but they had not found any cognisable offence against Vishwas.
“The complainant (woman) has regularly stated against me in the media. She has filed a number of complaints against me.
The order passed by the trial court is wrong,” he said while seeking quashing of the FIR.
Phoolka also claimed that there were contradictions in the statement of the complainant and she had taken Vishwas’ name only in August last year.
Advocate C L Gupta, also appearing for Vishwas, claimed that allegations against his client were false and motivated.
The counsel for the police said that they had filed a status report before the magisterial court and that no cognisable offence was made out against Vishwas.
Police had on March 17 informed the magistrate that an FIR has been lodged on a complaint against Vishwas in the matter.
In the FIR, the complainant has accused Vishwas of making sexually coloured remarks towards her, alleging that he was “trying to exploit” her “physically” and had made advances towards her several times before in 2014 and 2015.
The woman had earlier claimed that she had approached the police but no action was taken against the leader.
In its status report filed before the trial court earlier, the police had said that during its probe, nothing was found to substantiate the allegations levelled by the woman against Vishwas to register any criminal case against him.PTI
The Indian women’s team paid the price for a dismal batting performance as it lost to England by two wickets in a thrilling group league encounter of the ICC World Twenty20, here today.
Batting first, India crawled their way to 90 for 8 in 20 overs after being put into bat. None of the Indian batswomen save for Harmanpreet Kaur, who scored 26 off 25 ball, tried to force the pace against English bowlers.
In reply, England middle and lower-order survived some nervy moments before getting past the finishing line in 19 overs with two wickets remaining.
With England needing 3 in the penultimate over, skipper Mithali Raj dropped an easy catch of Anya Shrubsole off Veda Krishnamurthy’s delivery and the very next ball was hit past the point fielder much to joy of the England dug-out.
The defeat, India’s second in three matches, also put a spanner on their chances of qualifying for the semi-final as West Indies and England both have two wins in their kitty.
India have one match left against West Indies which they have to win to have any outside chance whatsoever and depend on other favourable results.
Skipper Mithali tried to put up a brave front at the post-match presentation ceremony.
“We are in contention. If we win against West Indies, we will have to depend on other results. We realised it was difficult to score runs. We could have shown more application with the ball to pull us through.”
It was batting that again let India down as they failed to reach the three-figure mark once again after scoring 96 against Pakistan.
The Indian batswomen wasted the Powerplay overs once again with skipper Mithali (20, 33 balls) failing to hit boundaries.
In all, only eight boundaries were hit in the 20 overs by the Indian batswomen, which went a long way in them not being able to score 110-115, a total that could have been a challenging one.
Off-spinner Heather Knight (3/15) was the most successful bowler for England while Anya Shrubsole took two for 12.
While chasing, left-arm spinner Ekta Bisht (4/21) did her best to put brakes on the opposition scoring but with too few runs on the board, it was always a game that was slipping out of India’s grasp.
The top scorer for England was opener Tammy Beaumont (20) while Natalie Sciver was the second-best contributor with 19 runs.PTI
The Delhi High Court today sought response of ANI Technologies, which runs app-based cab service under the name of Ola, on its competitor Uber’s plea seeking Rs 49.61 crore as damages from Ola for allegedly interfering in its business by making fake accounts to book rides and then cancel them.
Ola denied the allegations made by Uber and told the court it has no intention of indulging in any of the actions attributed to it by its competitor.
In view of the submission made by Ola, Justice Vipin Sanghi directed Ola to abide by its statement and listed the matter for further hearing on September 14.
“Defendants (Ola and its subsidiary Serendipity Cabs) emphatically deny the allegations. Counsel for defendants states they have not done anything to interfere with plaintiff’s (Uber) business as alleged, or its system by making false accounts, bookings or cancellations… nor has any intention of doing so.
“Defendants, their agents and employees shall abide by this statement…,”the court said, and issued notice to Ola and Serendipity asking them to file their written statement, reply and submit documents within four weeks.
Uber was asked to file its rejoinder to Ola’s reply in another four weeks and the matter was listed for hearing on September 14.
Uber in its plea alleged that Ola’s employees have created over 93,000 fake accounts across India on Uber’s platform and were using them to make false bookings which were later cancelled and thus, causing loss to Uber which has to pay the cancellation charges.
It has claimed to have paid over Rs five lakh as cancellation charges and alleged that by making false bookings, Ola was “squatting” on cabs associated with Uber.
Ola, on the other hand, contended in the court that Uber’s plea is an “offshoot” of the contempt petition filed against it by Ola for allegedly not complying with court directions to phase out diesel cabs.
It also argued that Uber’s plea was based on assumptions that Ola’s employees were creating the false accounts to make bookings and then cancel them.
It also said Uber was not paying any cancellation charges as the customer is charged if he/she does not cancel booking within five minutes of making it.PTI
