Meanwhile, policies formulated by the central government are causing millions of students to lose their employment and jobs, while small, medium and large establishments are shutting down. So, where will employment come from?” he said outside Parliament, news agency ANI reported. He also accused the BJP of providing government jobs in the state to people from other states during its tenure. “It is no secret that during the BJP’s tenure, people from other states have secured employment here on a large scale. We have answers to every question raised by the opposition, but their ambitions are simply too vast. The situation is such that facing the truth has …

Keerthy Suresh slams user claiming ‘lack of roles’ for her dance number in Nani’s The Paradise: ‘Just a small correction…’

Keerthy Suresh has been making headlines after several reports suggested that she might make a special dance appearance in Nani’s upcoming film The Paradise. While the reports remain unconfirmed, a social media user criticized the actress for allegedly taking up a dance number due to a perceived lack of substantial roles. In response, Keerthy addressed the post with a sarcastic remark. Keerthy Suresh slams user on ‘lack of roles’ comment Taking to Instagram, a user claimed that Keerthy Suresh was opting for dance numbers because of an alleged “lack of substantial roles.” The post came after reports suggested that the actress might feature in a special dance sequence in The Paradise, with the teaser sparking speculation. The post also incorrectly identified the film as Kannada instead of Telugu. Rather than issuing a detailed clarification, Keerthy responded with a lighthearted, sarcastic comment. In the comments section, she wrote, “Vera level ponga! Chinna correction. Nani nadippathu Telugu. Kannada alla.” (Next level! Just a small correction. Nani acts in Telugu films, not Kannada.) Here’s her response: The Paradise …

Sonam Wangchuk’s wife moves Delhi HC to transfer activist from Safdarjung Hospital, cites lack of trust

Activist Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali Agmo, has moved the Delhi High Court seeking his transfer from Safdarjung Hospital to a private medical facility, alleging a lack of trust in the treatment being provided and calling his continued confinement unconstitutional.

Lack of rhythm hurting Rohit Sharma’s batting as debate rages over his spot | Cricket News

3 min readJul 16, 2026 08:25 PM IST It was the over before Will Jacks put an end to Rohit Sharma’s struggles. Two deliveries into left-arm seamer Sam Curran’s first over of the afternoon – the sort of variety that has troubled the 39-year-old in the past, Virat Kohli walked up to his longtime teammate to share a short message: “Take your time.” The run-rate was 6.43, with Kohli ensuring the intent shown by skipper Shubman Gill at the top wasn’t going to be compromised. For the second time in this series, the conditions offered an even contest. And the one who was put to the maximum test was Rohit, a batsman who right through his 47-ball stay struggled for rhythm. The right-hander rarely makes ugly runs. He is not just old-school, but stylish as well. But not on Thursday, when the England attack made him uncomfortable. It was Jofra Archer, who troubled him first up. By the end of the third over, Rohit should already have been walking back to the dressing room. A …

As renowed educator Sonam Wangchuk‘s indefinite hunger strike entered its 19th day on July 16, support for his protest continued to grow.

((ANI Photo/Rahul Singh)) Imran Khan says students deserve fairness Sharing a carousel post on Instagram on Thursday, Imran Khan spoke about following the developments around the NEET controversy over the past few weeks.

Dropping Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has exposed a lack of clarity from Gambhir and Iyer | Cricket News

3 min readJul 11, 2026 08:49 PM IST India have benched, for a single match, a player they have already picked ahead of the man replacing him for the Zimbabwe tour that follows it. That is the contradiction sitting underneath Southampton, where the fifth T20I between India and England got underway a short while ago. FOLLOW LIVE: IND vs ENG 5th T20I Teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was left out of the playing XI, with Sanju Samson returning to the side. Samson, however, is not part of India’s squad for the three-match T20I series in Zimbabwe later this month. Sooryavanshi is. On the face of it, the decision to drop Sooryavanshi seems justifiable. He has recorded scores of 13, 14 and 15 in his first three T20Is. With the team struggling for form and down 3-0 in the series, young players are not guaranteed a longer rope, and the management may have felt experience was the safer option. But set against India’s recent decisions, this latest change raises a larger question about the direction Gautam Gambhir and …

‘Newcomers are still exploited’: Parvathy Thiruvothu calls out lack of contracts in cinema | Malayalam News

The Justice Hema Committee report that rocked Malayalam show business in August 2024 flagged not just chilling issues such as the casting couch and ostracism of those who refuse to comply with the demands of the powerful, but also a lack of basic facilities on sets and pay disparities. It basically highlighted extreme discrimination and exploitation faced by marginalised groups, particularly women. About two years later, actor Parvathy Thiruvothu — one of the founding members of the Women in Cinema Collective (WCC), which played a key role in the constitution of the three-member committee headed by retired High Court judge Justice K Hema — says that newcomers continue to be exploited by the industry, where they even work without proper contracts. Must Read | Parvathy Thiruvothu discusses female representation, activism and I, Nobody at Expresso Although Malayalam cinema has witnessed a paradigm shift over the past eight to nine years, she noted that it is still fear-based and not because people feel that such exploitation and discrimination are fundamentally wrong. While she is happy with …

How Sumit Nagal battled self doubt, lack of motivation to end 2-year title drought

India’s tennis ace Sumit Nagal went without winning a tournament for two straight years. His ranking dipped and injuries halted his progress, but the 28-year-old kept pushing. And last Sunday he finally found a breakthrough at the Intaro Open 2026 final in Romania. He lifted his seventh ATP Challenger title, defeating France’s Felix Balshaw in straight sets 6-3, 7-5. “Definitely means a lot. There have been a lot of tough times over the last two years with the way I was playing, how my body was feeling, the drop in my ranking and my earnings. A lot of emotions came with it,” Nagal told The Bridge. In July 2024, Nagal reached a career-high ranking of World No. 68. However, a dip in form and injuries led to a major drop to World No. 297 in February this year. But, his recent run in Romania earned him crucial ranking points and helped him climb back to World No. 219. #News | Sumit Nagal is a champion once again! 🎾🏆🇮🇳 The Indian tennis star ended his two-year …

Animesh Kujur books 200m Asian Games berth, rues lack of competition | Sports News

3 min readBhubaneswarJun 26, 2026 12:03 AM IST Ace sprinter Animesh Kujur booked his berth for the Asian Games 2026 in 200m event with a timing of 20.74s in the final breaching the qualification mark of 20.88s set by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) at the Inter State National Athletics Championships on Thursday. While breaching the qualification mark was not a problem for Animesh, the timing is not upto his standards. Animesh has a personal best of 20.32s. “Honestly, I was not here for timing. The idea was to secure the qualification mark for the Asian Games. Since I have got it now, I will further focus on improving before the Asian Games,” Animesh told the media after his race. Animesh is coming on the back of a bronze medal at the Asian Relay Championships in mixed 4*100 relay. His coach Martin Owens wanted him to relax. “I wanted him to do well and achieve the qualification mark. As we are very tired from the long trip of the Asian Relay Championships. He didn’t …

Can England exploit Croatia’s lack of pace at the back?

Can England exploit Croatia’s lack of pace at the back?

5 min readJun 17, 2026 08:30 AM IST When Bayer Leverkusen beat Werder Bremen 5-0 on April 14, 2024, winning the Bundesliga title and ending Bayern Munich’s run of 11 successive league titles, the resulting online content included visuals of a crestfallen Harry Kane and talk of a curse attached to him. The striker had spent many a trophyless year at Tottenham Hotspur and in international football with England. A move to Bayern was supposed to be a sure-shot way of ending that rut by at least winning the Bundesliga. It was all nothing more than banter, of course. The floodgates opened next season and now, Kane has two league titles and a DFB Pokal. Now, he may not have changed teams at the international level but England are trying something different at the 2026 World Cup by going in with Thomas Tuchel, a German, as their manager. Could this be the year for Kane and England? It is a question that has come to haunt England fans. Ever since the “Golden Generation” made a …
