Sehwag Urges BCCI: Change Indian Players’ Jersey Name to ‘Bharat:

Amidst the ongoing discussions about the government’s potential renaming of the country from India to Bharat, a move that has sparked controversy, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has expressed his support for the name change.

In a social media message, the renowned cricketer has called upon the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to alter the name on the jerseys of Indian cricketers taking part in the upcoming ICC World Cup. “I have always believed that a name should instill pride in us. We are Bhartiyas.

India is a name bestowed by the British, and it is high time we officially revert to our original name, ‘Bharat,'” Sehwag conveyed in the post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter). Sehwag further emphasized his point by highlighting instances of other nations embracing their original names.

He mentioned that during the 1996 World Cup, the Netherlands participated as Bharat, while in 2003 when India played against them, they represented themselves as the Netherlands and have continued to do so.

Amit Shah Expresses Confidence in BJP’s Re-election in MP with Over 150 Seats

Amit Shah Expresses Confidence in BJP’s Re-election in MP with Over 150 Seats:

Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his confidence on Tuesday that the BJP would secure more than 150 seats and retain power in Madhya Pradesh in the upcoming assembly elections scheduled for the end of the year.

Launching the BJP’s ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra,’ a large-scale mass-contact program, in Madhya Pradesh’s Mahakaushal region starting from Mandla, Shah stated that the campaign aims to seek the blessings of the people for the government’s development efforts in the state in preparation for the upcoming assembly polls.

Five such yatras, or journeys, were initiated from five different locations in the state in anticipation of the November assembly elections. All five yatras will conclude in Bhopal on September 25, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to address party workers.

Amit Shah emphasized that the ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ would serve as the foundation for the BJP to secure over 150 out of the total 230 assembly seats in the state.

He mentioned that Madhya Pradesh had historically been considered a ‘BIMARU’ (laggard) state due to the previous Congress regime. However, the BJP, particularly under the leadership of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, has transformed the state into an ‘unmatched’ one over the past four decades, Shah added. He commended Chouhan for his efforts in tribal development and cited Madhya Pradesh as the first state to implement the Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA) Act in 1996.

Amit Shah criticized Congress veterans Digvijay Singh and Kamal Nath, accusing them of neglecting the state when they held the position of Chief Minister in Madhya Pradesh. He highlighted the discontinuation of 53 Central welfare schemes during Kamal Nath’s tenure in 2018.

Shah also criticized the Congress for its minority appeasement policy, noting the change in approach since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014. He emphasized the Modi government’s focus on the welfare of tribals, Dalits, the poor, and backward classes who have rights to the country’s natural resources.

Bandi Alleges That I.N.D.I.A Is Comprised of Hindu Betrayers:

The BJP continued its criticism of Tamil Nadu Minister Udayanidhi Stalin on Wednesday for his remarks regarding Sanatan Dharma and demanded an immediate apology. They also warned of widespread outrage across the country, emphasizing that his comments not only insulted Hindu ‘Dharma’ but all religions.

Prakash Javadekar, the BJP’s Rajya Sabha member and Telangana election in-charge, expressed, “Udayanidhi, by equating Sanatan Dharma with Dengue and Covid, not only disrespected Sanatan Dharma but all faiths. He has offended believers of all religions, as people deeply cherish their faith.”

Javadekar also took aim at the Congress party, which leads the I.N.D.I.A political alliance, of which the DMK party, to which Stalin belongs, is a part. He questioned whether Rahul Gandhi or Congress President Kharge would clarify their party’s stance on Udayanidhi’s views.

Javadekar stated that they would maintain their dignity but highlighted the widespread anger against Udayanidhi across the country. He presented two demands: Udayanidhi must issue an immediate apology, and Congress should clarify whether it supported or opposed Stalin’s comments.

Meanwhile, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Karimnagar MP and former BJP state president, who was visiting the USA, remarked that it has become a trend for parties in the I.N.D.I.A bloc to criticize Hindu Dharma and insult Hindus. He cautioned that those who criticize Sanatan Dharma are also part of the same society that holds it dear.

Bandi Sanjay, speaking in Charlotte, North Carolina, drew attention to Udayanidhi’s grandfather describing Lord Rama as an engineer, while the grandson insulted Sanatan Dharma. He asserted that whether it’s Stalin, Sonia, or Rahul Gandhi, severe reactions can be expected if they speak against their faith.

Sanjay issued a warning that when BJP members like Nupur Sharma and Hyderabad MLA Raja Singh were accused of hurting religious sentiments, the party suspended them. If I.N.D.I.A leaders fail to condemn Udayanidhi’s comments, it would be seen as betrayal by Hindus, and the consequences would be significant.

Kim Jong Un Plans Russia Visit: US Official Confirms Meeting:

An unnamed U.S. official revealed on Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is likely to travel to Russia soon to hold a meeting with President Vladimir Putin. This move comes as the Kremlin seeks to acquire military equipment for its involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.

The official, who requested anonymity when speaking to The Associated Press, mentioned that the U.S. anticipates Kim’s visit to occur within the current month. The specific location and timing of the meeting are yet to be confirmed, but the Pacific port city of Vladivostok is a probable choice due to its proximity to North Korea.

National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson pointed out that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu recently visited Pyongyang, attempting to persuade North Korea to supply artillery ammunition to Russia. Watson stated, “We have information suggesting that Kim Jong Un anticipates ongoing discussions, including diplomatic engagements in Russia.”

She emphasized the U.S.’s position, urging North Korea to discontinue arms negotiations with Russia and adhere to its public commitments of refraining from providing or selling arms to Russia. Shoigu mentioned on Monday that the two countries might conduct joint military exercises. The initial report of Kim’s plan to meet Putin in Russia this month was published by The New York Times.

RK Roja Accuses Chandrababu Naidu of Allegedly Training Thieves in Andhra Pradesh

Tourism Minister R.K. Roja has strongly criticized Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the leader of the Telugu Desam Party, accusing him of being a mentor to thieves and criminals in Andhra Pradesh. During a media interaction at the Guru Puja Usavam ceremony, the Minister asserted that Naidu was the architect behind instructing individuals in the art of embezzling public funds, and she claimed that Naidu had also extended this training to Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan.

In a comparative analogy, Roja likened Chandrababu Naidu to the renowned actor and producer Mohan Babu, stating that while Mohan Babu was often referred to as the “collection king” in the film industry, Chandrababu Naidu played a similar role as the “collection king” but in the context of siphoning state funds.

She raised questions about the lack of discussion within the Telugu Desam Party regarding the Income Tax notices that Chandrababu Naidu has received three times in connection with the Amaravati construction scandal. Roja called for a thorough investigation by both the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) and the Enforcement Directorate into the alleged corruption involving Chandrababu Naidu and his son Lokesh. Furthermore, the Tourism Minister alleged that assets worth thousands of crores were discovered at the residence of Chandrababu’s personal assistant, Srinivas. She urged Naidu to provide an explanation for such revelations.

Advanced MicroRNA Treatment Strategy Seeks to Prolong Tumor Growth

Advanced MicroRNA Treatment Strategy Seeks to Prolong Tumor Growth:

Researchers from Purdue University have unveiled a novel therapy designed to target cancer cells by utilizing a modified form of microRNA that naturally inhibits cell division, thereby slowing down tumor growth.

This groundbreaking therapy is engineered to deceive cancer cells into absorbing a segment of RNA that naturally obstructs cell division. In a 21-day study, tumors treated with this new therapy displayed no increase in size, whereas untreated tumors tripled in size during the same period, according to findings published in the journal Oncogene.

Lead author Andrea Kasinski, an Associate Professor of biological sciences at Purdue University, described the therapy as a combination of a delivery system that homes in on cancer cells and a modified version of microRNA-34a, a molecule likened to the brakes in a car that can slow down or halt cell division.

The targeted microRNA-34a exhibited robust suppression of the activity of at least three genes—MET, CD44, and AXL—which are known drivers of cancer and contributors to resistance against other cancer treatments. This sustained suppression lasted for a minimum of 120 hours.

The results suggest that this therapy may be effective on its own and in conjunction with existing drugs, particularly in cases where cancer has developed resistance to conventional treatments.

The precision of this therapy means that a smaller quantity of the compound is required for effectiveness, potentially reducing the risk of toxicity, side effects, and overall cost.

The research team is also working on developing a separate version of the therapy, targeting a different cell surface receptor, specifically designed for prostate cancer cells that lack excessive folate receptors.

Identification Pending for 28 Bodies in Bahanaga Train Tragedy:

Despite the passing of three months since the tragic train accident in Bahanaga, located in Balasore district, Odisha, 28 bodies remain unidentified. The train tragedy occurred on June 2 and resulted in the loss of 296 lives. These unidentified bodies have been preserved in a specialized deep freezer chamber at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Bhubaneswar.

According to AIIMS authorities, there were a total of 81 bodies and 110 claimants. After conducting necessary DNA tests to match identities, 53 bodies were successfully handed over to their respective families. However, it has been surprising that, in the past 10 days, no individuals have come forward to claim the remaining 28 bodies. Dilip Parida, the superintendent of AIIMS Bhubaneswar, explained that they are currently awaiting instructions from the Ministry of Railways and the Odisha government in this matter.

As the case is under investigation by the CBI, the agency is the custodian of the bodies, and AIIMS has only been responsible for preserving them. Parida noted that they will act according to the instructions received and hand over the bodies to the CBI. It is unlikely that any claimants will come forward, given the lack of response in the past 10 days. All the bodies have been stored in a deep freezer, preventing the natural decomposition process.

At the same time, the Bengaluru-Howrah Express, traveling on the downline, was impacted by the derailed coaches of the Coromandel Express. The accident resulted in the loss of 296 lives, severe injuries to 176 individuals, minor injuries to 451, and first aid treatment for 180 others.

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das stressed the necessity of forward-looking monetary policy, warning against relying solely on a rear-view approach, which could lead to unintended consequences. Drawing an analogy with driving a car, Das likened the conduct of monetary policy to navigating a road with potential obstacles and speed bumps.

He emphasized that similar to a cautious driver who anticipates and adjusts to road conditions ahead, successful monetary policy relies on credible forecasts of key variables like inflation and growth. Reacting abruptly to economic challenges, without adequate foresight, risks policy errors and negative outcomes.

Das also underscored the importance of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) in monitoring price stability and acting prudently to prevent the spread of inflation throughout the economy. The RBI’s commitment to achieving its 4 percent inflation target remains firm. Furthermore, Das highlighted the RBI’s liquidity management strategies in the post-Covid era.

The central bank is closely monitoring call money market rates to facilitate the effective transmission of policy actions. This approach supports overall financial stability in the economy.

Balancing careers and relationships was a challenge faced by 50 percent of Gen Z, with commitment issues at 37 percent, difficulty in finding compatible partners at 49 percent, matching sexual preferences at 38 percent, and coping with rejections at 29 percent. The report highlights that Gen Z is willing to wait for partners who share their values and beliefs.

Approximately 51 percent of Indian Gen Z individuals are seeking partners for personal growth, 29 percent don’t feel pressured to marry on a predetermined timeline, and 19 percent are open to non-traditional relationships. Moreover, 46 percent of women are unwilling to tolerate toxic behavior, while 55.5 percent emphasize setting emotional and physical boundaries when seeking a partner.

According to Samarpita Samaddar, India communications director at Bumble, Gen Z is rewriting dating rules by expressing their beliefs, challenging traditional norms, and seeking authenticity in their romantic pursuits.

Medical Professionals Recommend Influenza Vaccination for Everyone:

Doctors and healthcare experts are strongly advising residents to exercise caution as weather conditions change and to consider getting influenza vaccinations during the flu season, which typically peaks between the monsoon and winter periods. While it’s possible to receive flu vaccines at any time of the year, experts recommend getting vaccinated during the flu season to bolster immunity and reduce the severity of influenza infections.

Dr. Kiran Madhala, a member of the TS Indian Medical Association (IMA) scientific committee, emphasized that statistics have indicated that influenza is responsible for a significant majority, 70 percent, of respiratory infections, surpassing the impact of COVID-19. Those contracting influenza are experiencing prolonged recovery periods, and the mortality rate is higher, ranging from 6 to 25 percent among high-risk populations, particularly children under the age of five and adults over 60, according to Dr. Madhala.

Medical Professionals follow the World Health Organization’s recommendations, releasing batches of flu vaccines twice a year, typically in October or November and April or May, tailored to the prevailing strains. Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh, a senior consultant pediatrician, underscored that children are particularly vulnerable and at high risk of developing chronic conditions such as asthma or immunodeficiency due to influenza.
