Nationalist government will rule West Bengal after May 23: Adityanath

by

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for allegedly fanning violence during Amit Shah’s roadshow on Tuesday, saying it ‘was a murder of democracy.’

“It was a murder of democracy. This move by goons will end the TMC government in the state. In a few days, TMC goons will be searching for shelters to hide their faces. Mamata Banerjee is frustrated which is why she is taking such steps,” he said addressing a public rally in Barasat.

He also alleged that the Chief Minister is trying to block the term ‘Ram’ in the state and added, “She is emboldening goons.”

Yogi also rakes up the ban imposed on Durga Puja by the government last year saying, while the whole nation observed Durga Puja and Muharram together, as their dates had clashed, only West Bengal government banned the celebration of Durga Puja.

“The whole country including Uttar Pradesh observed Durga pooja and Muharram together. No violence took place in my state as I had given prior warning to people. Why could not West Bengal do the same? TMC government here is very undemocratic. I am sure that after May 23, a nationalist government will be formed and will rule West Bengal,” he said.

The Uttar Pradesh CM ended his speech shouting the slogan ‘Pura Bharat Dol Raha Hain, Modi Modi Bol Raha Hain’, indicating that his political quarter will sweep the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.

Adityanath’s statement came just days before nine seats are scheduled to go to polls in West Bengal on May 19.

The counting of votes will take place on May 23.

I am not an outsider; have come here to campaign for BJP: Amit Shah

by

BJP national president Amit Shah has rebutted Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s charge that he is an “outsider” in West Bengal and said he has come to the state to campaign for his party.

Shah wondered if he is called an outsider for coming to West Bengal, “which is very much a part of India”, then why not Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee be labelled as an “outsider” when she visits New Delhi?

The BJP leader was addressing a meet of intellectuals in the city on Tuesday.

“I am president of a national party and I am here to campaign for my party. I am being called an outsider for coming to West Bengal. What kind of statement is this? If a person from West Bengal goes to Mumbai or Bengaluru, will he be called an outsider? When Mamata didi goes to Delhi will she be called an outsider?” Shah asked.

Shah’s remarks came following Banerjee’s repeated allegations about Shah being an “outsider” who comes to the state to “create division” among the people.

“If the BJP wins the assembly polls in West Bengal, a Bengali will be the chief minister. Neither I nor Kailash Vijayvargia will be the CM,” Shah said.

Vijayvargiya, who hails from Madhya Pradesh, is the BJP’s national general secretary, who is in charge of the saffron party in West Bengal.

Shah also criticized a section of the media for blaming BJP workers for Tuesday’s violence during his roadshow in north Kolkata.

“A section of media is presenting it in such a way as if we started the clash. The news should be that TMC goons attacked the convoy. But a section of news organisations are trying to paint it in a different way,” Shah said.

BJP and TMC supporters Tuesday fought pitched battles on the streets of Kolkata during a massive roadshow by Shah, who escaped unhurt but was forced to cut short the jamboree and had to be escorted to safety by police.

BJP Activist’s Arrest Over Mamata Banerjee Meme “Prima Facie Arbitrary”: Top Court

BJP Activist's Arrest Over Mamata Banerjee Meme 'Prima Facie Arbitrary': Top Court

Priyanka Sharma was released at 9:40 am today, West Bengal government told Supreme Court
NEW DELHI: 

The Supreme Court today questioned the West Bengal government why BJP activist Priyanka Sharma, who last week shared a meme of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, was made to spend another night in jail despite the court ordering her release on Tuesday.

“The arrest was prime facie arbitrary,” the top court said today.

Priyanka Sharma was arrested last Friday after she shared a photo in which Ms Banerjee’s face has been morphed on the form of actor Priyanka Chopra. In the original picture, the actor was photographed at the MET Gala in New York.

When the Bengal government’s lawyer told the court that Ms Sharma was released at 9:40 am today, the court said, “Why 9:40 am? The order was passed in your presence?”

Saif Ali Khan: Wanted To Give The Padma Shri Back

“I hope in time, when I look back and people look at it, they will say, ‘I think he deserves an honour for the work he has done,” said Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan: Wanted To Give The Padma Shri Back

Saif Ali Khan was speaking on Arbaaz Khan’s show Pinch 
MUMBAI: 

Actor Saif Ali Khan, who was felicitated with the Padma Shri, India’s fourth highest civilian award in 2010, says he wanted to return it. On Arbaaz Khan’s chat show Pinch, Saif was taken through some mean tweets about him.

One of them read: “This two bit thug who bought a Padma Shri, named his son Taimur and beat up some people in a restaurant. How the hell did he get a role in Sacred Games? He can hardly act.”

Reacting to it, Saif said: “Two bit thug, I’m not… Bought a Padma Shri is also not possible. It is beyond me to bribe the Indian government. You will have to ask more senior people. But I thought I don’t want to accept it. There are so many senior actors in the industry who deserved it even more than me, and had not gotten one…and it was very embarassing. And of course, there are some people who have it, I feel deserve it less than me also.”

Saif said he changed his mind after a conversation with his father, the late Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi.

“I wanted to give it back. I didn’t want to accept it. My father said to me, ‘I don’t think you are in a position to refuse the Indian government.’ So I said ‘okay’ and I very happily took it.

“I look at it in a way that I hope in time…cause I’m not done yet and I’m enjoying acting, I’m doing fairly well, I’m happy with what’s happening… I hope in time, when I look back and people look at it, they will say, ‘Okay, I think he deserves an honour for the work he has done,” he added.

During Pinch, Saif also had a witty reply to a troll who questioned him about being a “nawab”.

A troll had questioned him on “being a nawab and still clinging on to rotten ‘hukumat‘”.

After reading it, Saif quipped: “I have never been interested in being a nawab. I prefer eating kebabs.”

Known for his wit and humour, Saif even hit back at a troll, who questioned him for turning up at actress Sonam Kapoor’s wedding in a simple white kurta pajama.

“It was her wedding, not mine,” responded Saif.

Sri Lanka orders nationwide curfew amid anti-Muslim riots

Indefinite curfew imposed in North Western Province where Muslim man was killed on Monday.3 hours ago

Sri Lanka orders nationwide curfew amid anti-Muslim riots

The Sri Lankan government has ordered nationwide curfew for a second night after anti-Muslim riots in the wake of the Easter bombings.

The curfew was earlier relaxed on Tuesday in all areas except the North Western Province (NWP) where a Muslim man was killed by a mob on Monday, police said, in a violent backlash against last month’s bombings.

The 45-year-old died of injuries sustained when a crowd stormed his carpentry workshop in the Puttalam district in the NWP and slashed him, official sources said.

Police chief Chandana Wickramaratne warned of stern action against rioters, and said that constables have been issued orders to use “maximum force”.

Elsewhere in the province, mobs torched dozens of Muslim-owned shops, vandalised homes and mosques in a day of rioting.

“The curfew in the NWP will be continued until further notice,” police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekera said.

Al Jazeera’s Minelle Fernandez, reporting from Colombo, said “an uneasy calm prevailed in the northwestern province”.

“There are complaints that some of the police and military stood helpless daunted by the sheer scale of the mobs that were going around burning properties. That is something of concern here,” she said.

Fernandez said that there are reports of 11 individuals arrested for their alleged involvement in the violence.

On Monday, police imposed the island-wide curfew from 9pm local time (15:30 GMT) to 4am, according to a police statement.

Curfews were previously limited to specific areas where attacks had taken place, including Puttalam, Kurunegala and Gamphala districts near Colombo.

In an address to the nation on Monday night, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said a countrywide curfew was declared to prevent unidentified groups orchestrating communal violence.

Wickremesinghe said the unrest would hinder investigations into the April 21 attacks that targeted three churches and three luxury hotels, killing 257 people and wounding nearly 500.

Sri Lanka also temporarily banned some social media networks and messaging apps, including Facebook and WhatsApp, after a posting sparked anti-Muslim riots across several towns.

The attacks came during the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan.

Residents in NWP said crowds attacked mosques and damaged Muslim-owned businesses for a second day on Monday.

“There are hundreds of rioters, police and army are just watching. They have burnt our mosques and smashed many shops owned by Muslims,” a resident, who asked not to be identified, told the Reuters news agency. “When we try to come out of our house, police tell us to stay inside.”

Glass was strewn across the Abrar mosque in the town of Kiniyama that was attacked overnight. All the windows and doors of the soft-pink building were smashed and copies of the Quran were thrown onto the floor.

‘Several shops attacked’

“Over the last 24 hours there were localised police curfews to contain tensions between Christians and Muslims in these particular areas,” Al Jazeera’s Fernandez said. “The authorities are trying very hard to clamp down on this.”

The latest wave of unrest started when a mob targeted Muslim-owned shops in the town of Chilaw, 70 kilometres north of Colombo, on Sunday in anger at a Facebook post by a shopkeeper.

“Don’t laugh more, 1 day u will cry,” was posted as a comment on Facebook by a Muslim shopkeeper, and local Christians took it to be a warning of an impending attack.

Mobs smashed the man’s shop and vandalised a nearby mosque prompting security forces to fire in the air to disperse the crowd.

Authorities said they arrested the author of the post.

Muslims make up around 10 percent of Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka’s 21 million population and Christians about 7.6 percent.

‘Worrying trend’

Rights group Amnesty International said there was “a worrying trend of attacks against the Muslim community coming out of Sri Lanka” following the Easter Sunday bombings. 

The country’s main body of Islamic scholars, the All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama (ACJU), said there was increased suspicion of Muslims. 

“We call upon the members of the Muslim communities to be more patient and guard your actions and avoid unnecessary postings or hosting on social media,” the ACJU said.

On Twitter, Sri Lanka’s leading mobile phone operator Dialog said it had also received instructions to block Viber, IMO, Snapchat, Instagram and Youtube until further notice.

The latest unrest came as Catholic churches resumed their public Sunday masses for the first time since the bombings.

Sri Lanka has been under a state of emergency since the attacks. Security forces and police have been given sweeping powers to arrest and detain suspects for long periods.

Film Review : Student Of The Year 2

“Student Of The Year 2 Is An Entertaining & An Enjoyable Fare”
Banner: Dharma Production & Fox Star Studio
Producers: Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, Apporva Mehta & Fox Star Studios
Director: Punit Malhotra
Star Cast: Tiger Shroff, Ananya Panday, Tara Sutaria, Aditya Seal, Samir Soni, Gul Panag, Abhishek Bajaj, Manoj Pahwa, Ayesha Raza Mishra, Rajesh Kumar, Manasi Joshi Roy, Chetan Pandit, Samreen Kaur, Manjot Singh, Sahil Anand, Daljeet Singh, Harsh Beniwal & Rajveer Siungh & above all Alia Bhatt & Will Smith  
Music: Vishal – Shekhar & Salim – Sulaiman

Some of the most popular films on OTT platforms at present are those that are set in schools or colleges. These are usually light-hearted films dealing with love & other school based aspects. Not just on streaming platforms, even in cinemas, this genre has never gone out of fashion & Hollywood regularly churns out such films. But when it comes to Bollywood, one can hardly recall a handful of such films. The only memorable movies one can recollect in the last 10 to 12 years are Jaane Tu Ya Na Jaane Na in the year2008, 3 Idiots in the year 2009 & Fukrey in the 2013. Student Of The year 2 hence is an important film in this regard. Its 1st ever part, released in the year 2012, was a runaway success & had established 3 new actors namely Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt & Siddharth Malhotra. Now, Karan Johar has released Student Of The Year 2 & this time he has cast 2 new girls namely Ananya Panday & Tara Sutaria, along with the popular actor Tiger Shroff. However, it’s Punit Malhotra who’s wearing the director’s cap for the sequel.

The scripted scenario of Student Of The Year 2 opens its frame with the story of triumph, love & also making a comeback. Rohan (Tiger Shroff) & Mridula (Tara Sutaria) study together in Pishori Chamanlal college. Both are in love & there comes a time when Mridula changes her college & gets an admission in the prestigious St Teresa College. Rohan too wants to get admitted in this institution but knowing that the fees there are too costly, he abandons the plan. He still tries his luck & seeks admission under the sports quota. As luck would have it, his admission is approved. Rohan reaches there & realizes that Mridula has changed. For starters, she now calls herself Mia. She also gets a bit detached with Rohan. However, in no time Rohan wins her heart & they both again become a couple.

Meanwhile, Rohan is introduced to the Teresa’s stud & star athlete, Manav Mehra (Aditya Seal). They quickly become friends but Manav Mehra’s sister Shreya (Ananya Panday) detests him. She always tries her best to put Rohan in a spot. At the time of the dance competition of the college, Rohan & Mia team up while Manav & Shreya jointly participate. For both the girls, winning the competition is very crucial.  Mia wants to attain popularity & she realizes that this dance competition will be a step in that direction. Shreya, meanwhile, wants to escape the clutches of her tyrannical father Mr Randhawa (Chetan Pandit) & also her over-achiever brother Manav & get enrolled in a dance school in London. During the competition, Manav & Shreya win while Rohan & Mia get defeated as Mia loses her grip. So Mia is devastated & when Rohan goes to console her, he finds Mia & Manav cosying up to each other. An angry Rohan punches Manav. This action leads to Rohan’s expulsion from St Teresa. Manav, still cross over getting hit by Rohan, gangs up & beats up Rohan black & blue. What happens next forms the rest of the crux of the film.
Arshad Syed’s story, with additional inputs by Paulomi Dutta, is nothing new & novel. However, it’s written keeping in the mind the genre. Arshad Syed’s screenplay however is praiseworthy as it’s peppered with some entertaining, dramatic & even moving moments. The beginning however is a bit haphazard. Arshad Syed’s dialogues are witty & some one-liners raise guffaws.

Punit Malhotra’s direction is appropriate. He understands the space in which the film is set & does justice to the plot in hand. He had a tall order to reach considering that the 1st ever part was very well helmed by Karan Johar. In that regard, he comes quite close & that’s quite a feat. Despite the unreal world, Punit Malhotra puts his earnest effort in making it seem convincing. At a few places, he does falter though, story-wise. Shreya’s turn around in the 2nd half is difficult to digest. Also, a twist in the 1st ever half revolving around Mia is surely a shocker but might raise questions.
Student Of The Year 2 doesn’t have a great opening as such. The beginning portions don’t really engross viewers. It’s only when Rohan gets admission in St Teresa that the film picks up. The stark contrast between Pishori & St Teresa is well depicted. Also, the issues Rohan faces while adjusting in the new environment & the way he upgrades his wardrobe to fit in is very relatable. The scene at Jeffrey’s is funny but the scene to watch out for in the 1st ever half is when Mr Randhawa slaps Shreya. It takes the film to another level as viewers realize Shreya’s life isn’t as lovely as it seems to be. Another sequence that comes close is the intermission point is quite impactful. The 2nd half gets better as Rohan changes gear & also his life dream. A few sequences stand out here like Shreya celebrating her birthday alone, Rohan, Shreya & Mia arguing in the café & the fight in the college stadium. The climax keeps viewers on the edge & though predictable, it makes for a fine watch.
Vishal-Shekhar’s music is not that great. The 1st ever part had very memorable songs while in this part, songs are below-par. “The Jawaani Song” is the best of the lot & even most entertaining. “The Hook Up Song”,appears in the end credit, is okay. “Main Bhi Nahin Soya”is moving, more so because of the visuals. “Fakira” & “Jat Ludhiyane Da” are also alright. “Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiyaan” is not a part of the film. On the other hand Salim-Sulaiman’s background score is energetic & dramatic. 
Ravi K Chandran’s cinematography is rich & gives the film a brilliant look. Choreography is visually appealing by all 3 of them namely Remo D’Souza (“The Jawaani Song”), Adil Shaikh (“Fakira” & “Jat Ludhiyane Da”) & Farah Khan (“The Hook Up Song”). Sumayya Shaikh’s production design is superior in terms of visuals & ups the film’s richness. Manish Malhotra & Nikita Jaisinghani’s costumes are also a treat to the eyes. Though they might seem a bit too over the top, especially the costumes worn by Ananya Panday & Tara Sutaria, it will be liked by the target audience & might soon even set a new trend in fashion. Sham Kaushal’s action defies logic & laws of gravity at places but in a film of this zone, it actually works well. Ritesh Soni’s editing is praiseworthy. The film is nearly 145 minutes long but doesn’t seem lengthy.

Performance wise Tiger Shroff is completely in his element & as always, does a great job. His screen presence is electrifying & though he is perceived as a killing machine, it’s still believable when he’s the one getting bashed up by the baddies & he doesn’t even fight back. However, when he does make a comeback, it’s seen to be believed! In fact, the praise should also be showered on director Punit Malhotra for using Tiger Shroff’s action potential to the fullest & also seamlessly making it a part of the film’s narrative! Ananya Panday is a complete star & she proves it. She looks very convincing as a spoilt rich brat. Her change of heart might seem unconvincing but once that happens, she impresses even more, acting-wise. Her’s is in fact the most moving character in the film & she wins everyone’s hearts! Tara Sutaria too puts her best foot forward. Her screen presence too is something to watch out for. Sadly, she gets a bit sidelined in the 2nd half but she surely gets noticed & is all set for a bright future in Bollywood! Aditya Seal is well casted & he is terrific as the baddie. Watch out for the scenes where he’s silently observing & without saying a word, he conveys a lot! Harsh Beniwal as Puggi is quite entertaining & raises laughs. Ayesha Raza Mishra as Principal Singh & Manoj Pahwa as Coach Mahipal are a bit over the top but it was as per the requirement of the character. Samir Soni as Principal Gujral tries to be funny but fails. Gul Panag as Coach Kuljeet shines in a small role. Chetan Pandit is alright. Rajesh Kumar as Rohan’s astrologer uncle is hilarious in his entry scene. Manasi Joshi Roy as Roshan’s aunt is unrecognizable & doesn’t have much to do. Samreen Kaur as Mia’s mother is there for just 1 scene which is also needless. Rajveer Singh as Security guard Lahiri Singh does gets noticed. Will Smith is seen for a few seconds while Alia Bhatt adds to the glamour quotient in the end credit song.

Tail Piece: On the whole, Student Of The Year 2 is an entertaining & an enjoyable fare which will strike a chord in the audience’s hearts.
At the box office, it has the potential to do an excellent business!
