    The most powerful earthquake to strike Turkey and Syria in nearly a century killed over 2,600 people on Monday, sparked frantic rescues and was felt as far away as Greenland. The 7.8-magnitude early morning quake, followed by dozens of aftershocks, wiped out entire sections of major Turkish cities in a region filled with millions who have fled Syria’s civil war and other conflicts.

     

    Various governments and international organisations have responded with offers of support after an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 struck central Turkey and northwest Syria.

     

    Seeing Turkey getting huge international support, millions of Pakistanis came together to create a fake earthquake scenario. The Pakistanis held the random object and started vibrating fanatically. The Pakistanis demanded international support from the various countries and organisations.

     

    Thousand of Pakistanis injured themselves in this attempt of creating fake earthquake scenario. However, Pakistanis forgot to shake the richter scale.

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp, in its latest update to iOS, has rolled out the ability to create personalized avatars and use them as stickers and profile pictures.

    Some users may already be able to configure an avatar on the previous update, but it is rolling out to even more people, according to WABetaInfo.

    Users will need to open WhatsApp Settings in order to discover if the feature is already enabled for their account.

    Moreover, in the latest update, the messaging platform introduced the ability to record videos hands-free by swiping left inside the WhatsApp camera.

    Users also get the ability to undo “delete for me” for a few seconds in the latest update.

    Further, the report mentioned that some accounts may receive the new feature over the coming weeks.

    Meanwhile, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to pin messages within chats and groups.

    The feature is useful as it will allow users to pin important messages to the top of the chat, reports WABetaInfo.

    If a message is pinned and the recipient is using an old version of the application, then the app will show a message in the conversation to ask to upgrade to the latest version available on the store.

  • Video of Md Siraj, Umran Malik refusing tilak surfaces, right-wingers create furore

    Video of Md Siraj, Umran Malik refusing tilak surfaces, right-wingers create furore

    [ad_1]

    A video of Team India cricketers Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik’s refusal to apply tilak on their forehead in a hotel reception in Nagpur ahead of the four-match Test series against Australia has stirred up a storm with right-wing Twitter targetting the two Muslim fast bowlers for their choice.

    The video has gone viral with around 842.1K views. It shows the hotel staff welcoming the players along with head coach and former cricketer Rahul Dravid by applying tilak on their foreheads. When Siraj’s turn came, he politely refused. So did Umran Malik.

    Applying tilak is traditionally a Hindu and Jain custom for welcoming guests.

    The video, posted by a Anveshka Das, has evoked strong reactions from right-wing elements. Interestingly Das has used many trending hashtags, as far as #RipLegend, in order to gain momentum for the video in the algorithm.

    Although there are two other people who also refused the tilak in the video, right-wing and Hindutva elements have put their entire focus on the Muslim cricketers. However many have come in Siraj and Malik’s defense pointing out their action does not describe communally.

    Right-wing news channel Sudarshan TV’s editor-in-chief Suresh Chavhanke tweeted the video with the hashtag ‘jago’ which means wake up.

    “Mohammad Siraj and Umran Malik did not get tika applied on their foreheads at the reception. He is a player of the Indian team, not Pakistan. Even after becoming an international cricketer, he is staunch towards his religion. #Jago,” he tweeted.

    Arun Yadav, a hard-line Hindutva worker and an ardent fan of Chavhanke tweeted the video by saying, “Some puncture mark celebrities don’t get vaccinated because they are fanatic about their religion even after reaching that level. But we don’t miss wearing cap and offering sheet.”

    Yogi Devnath (@YogiDevnath2), another Hindutva worker tweeted the same. Another Hindutva member called darksoul (@iam_darksoul) tagged Virat Kohli and BCCI called out the Muslim cricketers as deceitful.

    “This is a tight slap on @imVkohli @Jaspritbumrah93 @BCCI @ImRo45 who preach Hindus on Hindu festivals. Both of these @mdsirajofficial & @umran_malik_01 are deceitful, for them their religion is superior than nation. siraj#MohammedSiraj#UmranMalik#shami siraj umran सिराज.”

    Another Twitter user named Arun Pudur (@arunpudur) has tagged Seetu Mahajan Kohli saying, “According to Ms@kohliseetu, Sanatan Tilak is ‘Silly Culture’, but, Islamic Bisht is a ‘Honor’ as being ‘Knighted’.”

    Mahajan tweeted, “Hotels need to stop this silly tradition. European hotels do not sprinkle holy water on you when you enter and nor do middle eastern hotel make you wear a hijab. We treat religion and personal space so casually in India. We are not entering a Mandir!!!”

    However many pointed out the Hindutva’s hypocrisy. Alt News co-founder and fact checker Mohammed Zubair said that there were other also who refused the tilak – Vikram Rathour and Hari Prasad Mohan – batting coach and video analyst respectively, but no one is talking about them.

    “Vikram Rathour & Hari Prasad Mohan didn’t apply tilak too. But @SureshChavhanke & other Right wing accounts want you to focus Muslim players Umran Malik & Mohammed Siraj,” Zubair tweeted.

    Subhayan Chakraborty, a sports journalist also replied, “Vikram Rathour, Dayanand Garani among many others also did. Bohot shauk hai likes, RTs khane ka apko.”

    Another Twitter user tweeted, “Why should they, if I may ask? The Hindus and Jains use tilaks as part of their cultural tradition. The individuals you named belong to a different faith altogether. Don’t try to build a mountain out of a molehill and incite hatred.”

    Another Twitter user posted a meme of the Indian Prime Minister applying tilak tweeting, “#MohammedSiraj and #UmranMalik should have taken tips on how to avoid a Tika”

    Many Hindus have condemned this and termed it as a “useless piece of information.

    The reactions are a grim reminder of India’s divided status, thanks to religious politics playing round the clock.

  • Why not create National Elephant Conservation Authority, SC asks Centre

    Why not create National Elephant Conservation Authority, SC asks Centre

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought reply from Centre on a 2010 ‘Gajah Report’ recommendation on conferring statutory status to a proposed body National Elephant Conservation Authority (NECA) for the preservation of elephant corridors.

    A bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said, “In the recommendations submitted in Gajah report, there was a recommendation to the effect that ‘Project Elephant’ be converted into a statutory agency.”

    The top court was hearing a plea by activist Prerna Singh Bindra.

    According to the government, the elephant population has reached 29,964 (as per the census 2017) in India, the elephant habitats are being consolidated across India, and the Elephant Reserves area has been increased.

    The government emphasised that it is deeply committed to protect the safety of the elephants and continued to take various steps to prevent their death including electrocution. Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati represented the central government in the apex court.

    The bench, also comprising Justices P.S. Narasimha and J.B. Pardiwala, added that the task force has proposed that the new body may be termed as the ‘National Elephant Conservation Authority’ (NECA). It further suggested that amendments can be introduced to effectuate the conferment of a statutory status on the authority.

    “Since the proposal would envisage requisite legislative amendments, this is something of which would be appropriate for the Ministry of Environment and Forest and Climate Change to respond,” it said.

    During the hearing in the matter, the bench also sought a status report on setting up of the central project elephant monitoring committee for the purpose of monitoring and implementation of relevant directions and guidelines in connection with the protection of elephants.

    In a written response, the Central government said: “Continuous efforts have been made to minimise the human elephant conflict and also to ensure the welfare of captive elephants in India.”

    After hearing arguments, the apex court directed the Ministry and the Central Electricity Authority to facilitate an inspection of the protected areas to avoid electrocution of elephants.

    The bench gave Centre four weeks’ time to file a response in a PIL filed by activist Bindra.

    The petitioner had contended that the electrocution is one of the major reasons for deaths of elephants and sought a direction for insulation of high voltage power transmission lines passing through protected areas, elephant reserves, identified elephant corridors and known areas of elephant movement.

  • PM Modi cautions against attempts to create divisions in the country

    PM Modi cautions against attempts to create divisions in the country

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi, Jan 28 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday cautioned against attempts to sow differences and create divisions in the country but asserted that such efforts will not succeed.

    Addressing a rally of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) at the Cariappa Ground in Delhi Cantonment, Modi said the mantra of unity was the only way for India to achieve grandeur.

    The prime minister said that the entire world was looking towards India because of the youth of the country.

    “This is the time of new opportunities for the youth of India. Everywhere it is evident that India’s time has arrived,” Modi said addressing the NCC cadets who took part in the Republic Day celebrations.

    At the same time, the prime minister urged caution against attempts to divide the country.

    “Desh ko todne ke kai bahane dhoode jaate hai. Bhaanti, bhaanti ki baatein nikaal kar, Maa Bharti ke santaano ke beech main doodh mein daraar karne ki koshishe ho rahi hai (Several pretexts are being raised to break the country. Several issues are raked up to create divisions among the children of Mother India),” the prime minister said.

    “Despite such efforts, there will never be differences among the people of India,” he said.

    “Maa ke doodh main kabhi darar nahi ho sakti (there can be no fissures in the mother’s milk),” he said.

    “For this, the mantra of unity is the ultimate antidote. The mantra of unity is a pledge as well as India’s strength. This is the only way India will achieve grandeur,” the prime minister said.

    The prime minister’s remarks came against the backdrop of the raging controversy over a BBC documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots and Modi that has been banned in India.

    Modi lauded the NCC cadets who participated in the Republic Day celebration and said the priority for the country would always be the young people who are brimming with energy and enthusiasm.

    He said the youngsters have immense opportunities as his government was encouraging private participation in space and defence sectors where start-ups were making huge strides.

    Modi said his government had unleashed a digital revolution, start-up revolution and innovation revolution.

    He highlighted the reforms in the defence sector, saying assault rifles that were imported earlier were now being manufactured within the country.

    The prime minister said fast-paced border infrastructure work was taking place and it would open a new world of opportunities and possibilities for the youth.

    Modi said it was also a time of great possibilities for the daughters of the country.

    “Police and paramilitary forces have witnessed the number of women doubling in the last eight years. The path has been paved for the deployment of women on the frontiers of all three armed,” he said.

    He said women have been recruited as sailors in the Navy and have also started entering combat roles in the armed forces.

    “First batch of women cadets has started training at the National Defence Academy in Pune and 1500 girl students have been admitted in Sainik Schools which were thrown open for the girl students for the first time,” Modi said.

    The prime minister said the National Cadet Corps too has seen a consistent rise in women participation in the last decade.

    Earlier, the prime minister released a special Day Cover and a commemorative specially minted coin of Rs 75 denomination, commemorating 75 years of NCC.

    Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, NCC Director General Lt Gen Gurbirpal Singh, Chief of Defence Staff Anil Chauhan, Chief of Army Staff Gen Manoj Pande, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R Harikumar, Chief of Air Staff V R Chaudhari and Defence Secretary Girdhar Armaane were present on occasion.
