Rahul Gandhi interacts with youth in Leh
Leh: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who is in Leh, on Friday asserted that the foundation of freedom in India is the Constitution of India.
He also accused the BJP and the RSS of placing its own people in the key parts of the institutional structures.
While interacting with youths here, Rahul Gandhi, who arrived in Leh on Thursday afternoon said, “India got freedom in 1947 and the foundation of freedom in India is the Constitution of India.”
He said that the Constitution has certain rules. “So, how do you put the Constitution into action? The way you put the Constitution into action is by setting up institutions that support the vision of the Constitution. The Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, Planning Commission, forces, all these elements.”
“Now what is happening … when you attack the Constitution directly? Now what the BJP and RSS is doing that it is placing its own people in the key parts of the institutional structures,” he said.
“They will place their own people, for example if you go to ministers of the government and ask them are you actually making the decision in the ministry and then they will tell you that there was a gentleman an OSD from the RSS, who we have to work with and to decide what happens in our ministry.”
Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi also watched a football match in Leh and interacted with the people.

Hyderabad: Man booked for covering Shaik Bawazir’s body in tricolour
Hyderabad: The Chandrayangutta police have registered a case against a social worker, Khaja Aleemuddin alias Caller Aleem, for allegedly insulting the national flag. He was booked for covering the body of Shaik Sayeed Bawazir, who was murdered in Bandlaguda area on August 11, with the tricolour.
The police have registered a case under Section 2 of Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.
On August 14, BJYM Hyderabad vice-president Pittala Rajesh filed a complaint with the Chandrayangutta police. He alleged that on August 11 evening while he was passing from Keshavgiri towards Chandrayangutta, he observed that an ambulance was carrying a body covered in the national flag towards Barkas.
Later, he came to know that the deceased was ‘social activist’ Sayeed Bawazir.
Meanwhile, Khaja Aleemuddin and others posted several videos on social media showing the deceased’s body covered in the national flag. The complainant stated that the deceased was a history-sheeter, and covering his body with the national flag meant disrespecting it.
“The covering of body of a person with criminal background is insult to the Indian national flag,” said BJYM leader P Rajesh in his complaint. He requested the police take necessary action against those who insulted the Indian National flag, as per law.
On August 11, Shaik Bawazir was murdered at Bandlaguda. Police later registered an FIR against three AIMIM leaders — Ahmed Saadi, Abdullah Saadi and Saleh Saadi of Jalpally area — for their alleged involvement in the case.

Trump slams judge for gagging him on ‘inflammatory statements’
Washington: Former US President Donald Trump defied Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan on her “gagging and protective” order “with the remark that is highly partisan” and “very biased and unfair”.
Taking to his Truth Social to hyper ventilate his grievance against the judge for virtually gagging him, Trump said “highly partisan” and “very biased and unfair”, citing as evidence a statement she made during the sentencing of a woman who participated in the mob that breached the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Trump slammed the judge presiding over his newest criminal case early Monday, testing her three day old warning that he refrain from “inflammatory” attacks against those involved in his case.
In a Truth Social post just before 1 a.m., Trump assailed US District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan saying, “She obviously wants me behind bars”.
Trump alluded to Chutkan’s remark during the October 2022 sentencing of Christine Priola of Ohio. Chutkan had then admonished Priola, before sentencing her to 15 months in jail, on the January 6 mob’s threat to the peaceful transfer of power.
“I see the videotapes. I see the footage of the flags and the signs that people were carrying and the hats that they were wearing, and the garb,” Chutkan had said as per Policio, a leading news network.
“And the people who mobbed that Capitol were there in fealty, in loyalty to one man, not to the Constitution, of which most of the people who come before me seem woefully ignorant; not to the ideals of this county and not to the principles of democracy. It’s blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day,” Chutkan had observed in her sentencing of Priola, media reports said.
Most judges in the US have been quick to share her sentiments on the January 6 event and while some have expressed discomfort over punishing rioters — who had been hoodwinked about the election verdict by Trump and sent to the Capitol with a warning that their country was being stolen and their livelihoods were in danger.
During the latest hearing on Friday, Chutkan, an appointee to the bench in 2014 by the then President Barack Obama, and followed by a unanimous confirmation by the senate, has reiterated politics in her courtroom in Trump’s proceedings will not be tolerated.
She warned Trump, with a history of attacking judges in public, prosecutors and those arrayed against him as witnesses, that his inflammatory remarks could force her to speed up his criminal trial.
“I caution you and your client to take special care in your public statements about this case,” Chutkan told Trump’s lawyer John Lauro during the hearing.
“I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of these proceedings.”

Man flees with cab after sending driver to fetch biryani in Hyderabad
Hyderabad: A conman fled away with a private taxi after sending the driver to fetch a biryani for him on Sunday, August 13. The incident took place at Rudraram village in Patancheruvu mandal of Sangareddy district.
Police said that a man hired a taxi belonging to Naresh at Zaheerabad. The man introduced himself as an official of Mumbai police and went first to the Sangareddy women’s police station. After travelling some distance, the alleged thief went to the Sangareddy SP office and spoke over the phone with someone before leaving the place in a hurry.
Naresh believed the passenger was indeed a police official and was on some official work. The man then asked Naresh if he could drop him at Hyderabad and bargained the fare for Rs. 3,000.
On the way to Hyderabad, the passenger told the driver that he was feeling hungry and asked him to fetch a biryani pack for him. The man stopped the vehicle in front of Palace Hotel at Rudraram village and bought a parcel for him. The thief again handed over Rs. 1,000 and asked him to get three more Biryani parcels.
Naresh went inside the hotel to bring the parcels and when he came out the car and the passenger were missing. After searching for the vehicle, he approached the Patancheruvu police. A case has been filed and special teams formed to hunt down the thief.
The police verified the details at the hotel at Zaheerabad and found the man had booked a room by furnishing Aadhar card details and according to the document his name is Abhinash Prakash Shinde.

Bomman, Bellie send legal notice asking for Rs 2 cr from Elephant Whisperers’ director
Bengaluru: In a legal notice issued by Bomman and Bellie, the mahout couple made famous by the Oscar-winning documentary The Elephant Whisperers’, is seeking a goodwill gesture’ of Rs 2 crore from filmmaker Kartiki Gonsalves.
In the legal notice, a copy of which is PTI has obtained, it is stated that the couple were promised a proper house and an all-terrain multi-purpose vehicle and sufficient financial support as a one-time lump sum payment (without mentioning the amount) as compensation for their time, based on the income generated from the project.
The legal notice also said that on the one hand, the couple were introduced as “the real heroes” to the elite, celebrities, sports persons and political leaders, gaining wide publicity for them. But on the other hand, the filmmaker got all the financial benefits from Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and the Prime Minister of India, the notice stated.
When PTI reached out to Bomman, he said he was advised not to talk about the case anymore and asked us to get in touch with his lawyers for further information.
Chennai-based social activist Pravin Raj, a lawyer by profession, who said he has known the couple for almost a decade, said he put them in touch with a law firm in Chennai when the couple approached him.
“Both Bomman and Bellie are disappointed with Gonsalves, who had promised them monetary help as well as help with the education of Bellie’s granddaughter, while making the film. But she now refuses to give even a fraction of the enormous profits made by the film,” said Raj.
He said the couple have been following the documentary maker around, doing what she was asking them to do, in the hope that when the film did well, they would all prosper together.
“Instead, Gonsalves is not even picking up the phone when Bomman calls,” added Raj.
Advocate Mohammed Mansoor who is handling the case said four days ago he received a reply notice from Sikhya Entertainment Pvt Ltd, on behalf of Gonsalves.
“In that, she has flatly refused any more help stating that she has already given money to the couple. I will be sending her a rejoinder in a couple of days after consulting with my clients,” said Mansoor.
Meanwhile, in a statement issued by Sikhya Entertainment Pvt Ltd to the PTI, it is stated: “The goal in creating The Elephant Whisperers’ has always been to highlight elephant conservation, the tremendous efforts of the forest department and its mahouts Bomman and Bellie. Since its launch, the documentary has raised awareness of the cause and had a real impact on the mahouts and cavadis community.
“Chief minister of Tamil Nadu M K Stalin has made donations towards assisting the 91 mahouts and cavadis who look after the state’s elephants, constructing eco-friendly houses for the caretakers and developing an elephant camp in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve.
“The documentary has been celebrated by heads of state across India, and the Academy Award is a moment of national pride that has brought widespread recognition for the work of mahouts like Bomman and Bellie.
“All claims made are untrue. We have deep respect for all of the contributors of this story, and remain driven by the desire to create positive change.”

Article 370 ushered in peace in J&K, Oppn parties demand restoration
Srinagar: On the fourth anniversary of Article 370’s abrogation, the government on Saturday highlighted that the “historic” decision has ushered in peace and development in Jammu and Kashmir, while opposition parties, including the PDP and the Congress, held protests demanding restoration of statehood.
The BJP marked the day with a public meeting in Srinagar and its leaders there said that following the 2019 decision, there has been no shutdowns in the Kashmir Valley, and with the situation getting better, the Union Territory has hosted international events and witnessed record tourist footfall.
The biggest change after the abrogation of the article is that the common people of Jammu and Kashmir are living life according to their own wishes, Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha said in Srinagar.
The Centre on this day in 2019 had revoked Article 370, which gave special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, and bifurcated it into union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
During an event in Odisha capital Bhubaneswar, Shah said, “On August 5, 2019, (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi had taken the historic decision to scrap Article 370. On this occasion, I thank the prime minister on behalf of the people of the country.”
“The historic decision to scrap Article 370 taken on this day in 2019 ushered in a new dawn of peace and development in Jammu and Kashmir,” the home minister tweeted.
Highlighting changes in Jammu and Kashmir post-2019, LG Sinha said, “Pakistan-sponsored shutdowns by terrorists and separatists, due to which schools, colleges and business establishments used to remain closed for about 150 days a year, have ended.”
“The biggest change that is visible on the ground is that the common people of Jammu and Kashmir are living life according to their own wishes. Street violence has ended,” he said while talking to reporters after an event in Srinagar.
“The dreams of the youth of Kashmir have got wings now and in the days to come, their contribution to nation building will not be less than anyone,” Sinha said and added that Jammu and Kashmir will soon regain its lost glory for which it was known across the world.
During the day, while Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti claimed she and some senior leaders of her party were placed under house arrest, and several others detained, the National Conference (NC) said its headquarters Nawa-i-Subah was “sealed” and no one was allowed to go inside.
“I’ve been put under house arrest along with other senior PDP leaders today. This comes after a midnight crackdown where scores of my party men are illegally detained in police stations. GOI’s (Government of India) false claims about normalcy to the SC (Supreme Court) stands exposed by their actions driven by paranoia,” Mehbooba tweeted.
She said on one hand, giant hoardings calling upon Kashmiris to “celebrate” the abrogation of Article 370 have been put up across Srinagar, whereas “brute force is being used to choke the actual sentiment of the people”.
In a Twitter post, the NC said, “True to form and in keeping with the clampdown on mainstream democratic activities organised by parties opposed to 5th Aug 2019, the JKNC office has been sealed by the police. No one is being allowed in or out of the office.”
“These steps betray the nervousness of the administration and render hollow their claims regarding great improvements in the last four years,” it added.
In Jammu, the Congress, the Shiv Sena (UBT), the People’s Conference and the PDP staged separate protests to mark the day.
Congress members led by the party’s J-K chief, Vikar Rasool Wani, held a demonstration outside the party’s headquarters at Shaheedi Chowk, demanding restoration of statehood of Jammu and Kashmir, protection of land rights and 100 per cent reservation for locals in jobs.
“We are observing August 5 as ‘black day’ since the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of our state into UTs (union territories) in 2019…we demand immediate restoration of statehood along with state subject laws,” Wani told reporters.
Slamming the BJP government at the Centre, he alleged that all its promises have fallen flat.”There is no change in Jammu and Kashmir, contrary to the claims of the BJP which had talked about industrial investment, prosperity, and model state. The reality is that the people are suffering due to economic distress and high inflation while our health and education sectors are in shambles,” the J-K Congress president said.
People’s Conference leader Sajad Lone said it is a “sad day”. It is a sad reminder of the “disempowerment of the people of J-K. The process of disempowerment continues”, he tweeted and added that also, “the belittling of institutions, individuals and the people of J-K continues”.
Later talking to reporters, the separatist-turned-mainstream politician said, “This is now the fourth year (since the abrogation) and our government is so confident of the situation that they cannot even dare to hold (assembly) elections because they know what the anger of the people is.”
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Manish Sahni led a protest outside the party’s office at Channi Himmat in Jammu.
He alleged that after four years, “the situation in the region has deteriorated to the extent that youngsters are desperate for jobs, Pakistan-sponsored narco-terrorism is ruining lives, and Kashmiri migrant pandits are still waiting for their return and rehabilitation”.
Sahni also demanded restoration of statehood of Jammu and Kashmir. Talking to reporters after the BJP public meeting in Srinagar, party spokesperson Thakur Abhijeet Jasrotia said this programme was held to open the eyes of those leaders who are trying to “provoke” the people in the name of Article 370.
“These leaders are propagating lies, but the common people and the poor want development…Today, people have risen above dynastic politics, and they do not want any Abdullah or Mufti to befool them,” he said in an apparent reference to National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supremo Mehbooba Mufti.
During the meeting, BJP leaders highlighted the changes in Jammu and Kashmir after the Centre’s 2019 decision, with Jasrotia saying there used to be shutdowns for the most part of the year in the Kashmir Valley, but now, there are no strikes. BJP leader Ashok Koul said post-2019, “Kashmir has changed, stone pelting has ended, separatism has ended.”
“International events have taken place here. There has been a record number of tourist arrivals,” he said.
West Pakistani refugees, Gurkhas and Valmiki Samaj members took to streets in Jammu and Samba districts and celebrated the fourth anniversary of the article’s abrogation, saying it facilitated them to get citizenship of Jammu and Kashmir after a long wait of several decades.

MoS Muraleedharan thanks Iranian envoy Iraj Ilahi for early release of 8 Indian fishermen
New Delhi: Union Minister of State (MoS) for External Affairs V Muraleedharan met the Ambassador of Iran to India Iraj Elahi at his office in New Delhi on Wednesday and expressed gratitude to the Government of Iran for the early release of eight Indian fishermen.
Muraleedharan also sought intervention for the early release of the remaining fishermen.
Taking to his Twitter official handle, Muraleedharan stated, “Happy to meet the Ambassador of Iran to India H.E. Iraj Elahi at my Office. Discussed bilateral matters and consular issues. Thanked the Government of Iran for the release of 8 Indian fishermen recently. Sought intervention for early release of the remaining fishermen.”
Muraleedharan also discussed bilateral matters and consular issues with Iranian envoy Iraj Ilahi.
Earlier in June, the Iranian government detained eleven fishermen from India, who went for deep sea fishing from Ajman in the United Arab Emirates and allegedly crossed into Iranian waters.
Following that, Muraleedharan met with the families of the fishermen — who have been detained by the Iranian authorities for allegedly crossing the border — in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday.
He assured that the Union government is in touch with the Iranian Foreign Ministry and expressed confidence in getting consular access to meet the detained fisherman.
Among eleven fishermen, seven are from Kerala, of which five are from Anchuthengu in the Thiruvananthapuram district and two are from Paravoor in the Kollam district.
The families of the fisherman have been requesting the government to come forward and bring the details of the fishermen.
Father Justin of the Church said that the people are worried about the situation and thanked the MoS for visiting the families of the fishermen.
“This is very unfortunate for the fisherman. 85 per cent of the people work in the area near the border of Iran. This is the case for the last 35 years, but nothing like this ever happened. I was in touch with MoS Muraleedharan, and he responded immediately. I appreciate that. Furthermore, he has taken the step and come here to meet these people. This is something credible on his part,” he said.

Google is latest, but ChatGPT is more reliable for medical info
New York: When you need accurate information about a serious illness, should you go to Google or ChatGPT?
The study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, showed that Google provides the most current information, but query results are skewed by service and product providers seeking customers.
ChatGPT, meanwhile, provides more objective information, but it can be outdated and lacks the sources of its information in its narrative responses, the researchers found.
“If you pick the best features of both, you can build a better system, and I think that this is what will happen in the next couple of years,” said Vagelis Hristidis, a professor of computer science and engineering in University of California, Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering.
A team of scientists submitted 60 queries to both Google and OpenAI’s ChatGPT that are typical submissions from people living with dementia and their families. The researchers said they focused on dementia because more than 6 million Americans are impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or a related condition and caregivers of people living with dementia are among the most engaged stakeholders in pursuing health information.
Half of the queries submitted by the researchers sought information about the disease processes, while the other half sought information on services that could assist patients and their families.
The results were mixed.
“Google has more up-to-date information, and covers everything,” Hristidis said.
“Whereas ChatGPT is trained every few months. So, it is behind. Let’s say there’s some new medicine that just came out last week, you will not find it on ChatGPT.”
While dated, ChatGPT provided more reliable and accurate information than Google. This is because the ChatGPT creators at OpenAI choose the most reliable websites when they train ChatGPT through computationally intensive machine learning. Yet, users are left in the dark about specific sources of information because the resulting narratives are void of references.
Google, however, has a reliability problem because it essentially “covers everything from the reliable sources to advertisements”, Hristidis said. In fact, advertisers pay Google for their website links to appear at the top of search result pages. So, users often first see links to websites of for-profit companies trying to sell them care-related services and products.
Finding reliable information from Google searches thus requires a level of user skill and experience, Hristidis said.
Further, Google and ChatGPT both scored low for readability scores, which makes it difficult for people with lower levels of education and low health literacy skills.

Pakistan, China ink deals to boost CPEC phase 2
Islamabad: Pakistan and China on Monday signed six key documents to help undertake the second phase of the USD 60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects under a new model, further cementing the all-weather strategic relations between the “iron brothers”.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng witnessed the signing ceremony held here to mark 10 years of the CPEC, a collection of infrastructure and other projects under construction throughout Pakistan since 2013.
The CPEC, which connects Gwadar Port in Pakistan’s Balochistan with China’s Xinjiang province, is opposed by India as it is being laid through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
In his remarks, Vice Premier He conveyed President Xi Jinping’s message of China’s firm support to Pakistan’s prosperity and development.
He, who is a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the ruling Communist Party, underlined that Pakistan-China friendship was unique and had withstood the vicissitude of time due to deep fraternal ties between the peoples of the two nations.
He reiterated that as an “iron brother and strategic partner,” China would continue its existing economic and financial support to Pakistan.
He also conveyed Beijing’s willingness to enhance Pakistan’s agro and food exports to China.
Both countries signed a document on the joint cooperation committee on CPEC; MoU on establishing an export exchange mechanism within the framework of CPEC; a protocol of phytosanitary requirements for the export of dry chillies from Pakistan to China and a Document on the final report on the feasibility study of realignment of KKH Phase -II.
Both sides also signed through diplomatic channels an MoU on the industrial workers exchange programme.
Prime Minister Sharif expressed pleasure over the signing of documents and thanked the Chinese Vice-Premier for visiting Pakistan to celebrate 10 years of the CPEC.
He recalled that 10 years ago, the CPEC was signed between then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Xi and implementation was started within no time.
Sharif said that under the CPEC, more than USD 25 billion in investment has taken place in sectors like power, road, hydel power, and public transport.
“Now we are entering the second phase,” the prime minister said.
“Today, we signed certain important documents which will further enhance cooperation and undertake the second phase of CPEC under a new model,” he said.
He said the second phase of the CPEC would feature business-to-business investment in agriculture and information technology to enable Pakistan to export its products according to Chinese standards and requirements.
Sharif also thanked President Xi for sending his special envoy to Pakistan, showing solidarity for people-to-people friendship and showing to the world that both countries were bound in a great and unique relationship.
“We are all-weather friends and iron brothers. This friendship will continue and will not tolerate any kind of obstacle in its way,” Prime Minister Sharif said.
He assured that Pakistan was ready to contribute towards Chinese President Xi’s vision of the shared destiny of progress and prosperity as he showed confidence that Pakistan would stand on its own feet.
“We will emulate the Chinese model of development to achieve peace and prosperity in the country,” he said, adding that Pakistan and China enjoy a unique relationship.
Meanwhile, President Arif Alvi conferred Pakistan’s second-highest civil award, Hilal-i-Pakistan (Crescent of Pakistan), on Chinese Vice Premier He during an investiture ceremony held at Aiwan-e-Sadar here on Monday.
The award was given to the Chinese dignitary to honour his role in the promotion of bilateral ties between Pakistan and China.
The visit by the vice premier comes as Pakistan narrowly escaped defaulting on foreign obligations.
China played a significant role in helping cash-strapped Pakistan by rolling over more than USD 5 billion in loans.
The CPEC, which was initially a USD 46 billion project, later on, expanded to USD 62 billion.
The key agreement for the CPEC projects was agreed in 2013 but it was formally launched when President Xi Jinping visited Pakistan in 2015.
The BRI was launched by Chinese President Xi in 2013. It aims to link Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Gulf region, Africa and Europe with a network of land and sea routes.
The BRI is seen as an attempt by China to further its influence abroad with infrastructure projects funded by Chinese investments all over the world.
The initiative also led to allegations of smaller countries reeling under mounting Chinese debt after Sri Lanka gave its Hambantota port in a debt swap to China in 2017 on a 99-year lease.
