Sharmila Tagore: The ‘liberal’ CBFC head who found govt’s directives ‘absurd’; offered to resign because of Aamir Khan’s film | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Sharmila Tagore started her career in the movies when she was just a teenager and for decades, she continued to perform beautifully in front of the camera. But in the early 2000s, Tagore was assigned a new responsibility – to head the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Sharmila took office after Anupam Kher had just served for one year as the head, and as soon as she took office in 2004, Sharmila made it clear that she wasn’t here to be the morality police, which was often expected from the CBFC head. In the years that followed, films like Rang De Basanti, My Brother Nikhil, No One Killed Jessica, Omkara, among others, experienced a fairly smooth release, and while Sharmila tried to make the CBFC into a ‘certification body’ during her time, it still ended up being the ‘censor board’ in later years. In 2025, The Indian Express has extensively reported on ‘censorship raj’, where no meeting has been held in six months. Soon after Sharmila Tagore became the head, Onir’s My Brother Nikhil …

Ottawa: Canadian Election 2025 LIVE: Canadians are set to vote today (Monday) to decide whether to extend the Prime Minister Mark Carney-led Liberal Party’s decade in power or hand over the country’s control to Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives. The initial results of the poll race will start coming after 7:30 pm EST (5:00 am IST), after voting ends in the four Atlantic provinces. The clear picture will emerge after 9:30 pm EST (7:00 am IST), when voting ends in most of the country, including in seat-rich Ontario and Quebec.  This time, Canadians are not just electing their next Prime Minister, but the polls are also seen as a referendum of sorts on someone who isn’t even Canadian– US President Donald Trump. The Liberal Party looked set to lose easily to the Conservatives until Trump won a second term and began threatening Canada’s economy and sovereignty, even suggesting the country should become the 51st state. The American President’s truculence not only infuriated many Canadians but also put Poilievre and the Conservative Party on the back foot due …

Justin Trudeau is killing Canada’s liberal dream | World News

Published by Parlour News

“It is A time of massive anxiety.” Justin Trudeau was talking about Canadians’ economic outlook, pitching the durability of his liberal project to a gathering of global progressives in Montreal last month. “People notice the hike in their mortgages much more than they notice the savings in their child care,” he offered, perhaps implying that in doing so people failed to appreciate all he did for them. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made this charge while appearing before the foreign interference committee in Ottawa, saying there were now “clearer indications” that India violated Canada’s sovereignty, when compared with the situation following the killing of pro-Khalistan figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18 last year. (AP)(HT_PRINT) A diagnosis of anxiety fits his own government, too. Mr Trudeau and his party have traversed an arc from heroic to hapless during nine years in office, and today are despised by many in Canada. Polls suggest that less than a quarter of the electorate plans to vote for him. With under a year to go until a general election, Liberal …
