DPL 2026: Ranjan Draws Inspiration From Djokovic For Celebration In Maiden Win For Strikers
North Delhi Strikers: North Delhi Strikers captain Sarthak Ranjan revealed that his viral half-century celebration was a tribute to tennis icon Novak Djokovic after his explosive knock of 95 set up a comfortable six-wicket victory for his side over East Delhi Riders in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Chasing 172, Strikers found themselves in early trouble at 39/2 before Ranjan and Yash Bhatia turned the game around with a blistering 113-run stand for the third wicket. Ranjan led from the front, smashing eight sixes and seven fours in his 50-ball 95, including a game-changing 29-run over off pacer Simarjeet Singh, before falling just short of a well-deserved century. It feels great to win, especially because this is my first victory as captain. We lost two early wickets, so the plan was to build a partnership and make sure we didn't fall behind in the powerplay. Once Yash Bhatia came in, things became easier. We had a good partnership in the last match as well, and today he took a lot of pressure off me by finding the boundaries regularly. We just focused on building the innings and knew that one big over would eventually come. I didn't expect it to be that big, but thankfully it worked in our favour, Ranjan said in a statement on Thursday. Ranjan, who caught attention with his unique celebration upon reaching his half-century, admitted it was inspired by 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic. I'm a huge fan of Novak Djokovic, so the celebration was just a tribute to him. I've seen him do it after his victories, and I wanted to celebrate in a similar way, he revealed. We had a good partnership in the last match as well, and today he took a lot of pressure off me by finding the boundaries regularly.

Recognizing that the movement of students, researchers and professionals has strengthened innovation ecosystems and economic growth in both countries, the two Prime Ministers agreed to deepen cooperation in higher education by promoting industry-aligned skills, expanding joint and dual-degree programmes, facilitating offshore campuses of leading Canadian institutions in India, strengthening research partnerships in emerging technologies, and revitalizing the IndiaCanada Joint Working Group on Higher Education. As part of these shared commitments, the leaders welcomed the AICTEMitacs partnership to expand the Globalink Research Internship (GRI) programme, enabling approximately 300 Indian undergraduate students annually to undertake research placements at Canadian universities while strengthening institutional collaborations, academic excellence and future-ready skills. The Globalink Research Internship (GRI) is a highly competitive, fully funded international programme that offers talented undergraduate students an opportunity to work under the supervision of Canadian university faculty members across a wide spectrum of disciplines including engineering, computer science, physical sciences, life sciences, mathematics, business, social sciences, arts and humanities. The internships are conducted in person over 12 consecutive weeks between May and October, providing students with hands-on research experience, exposure to world-class laboratories, international mentorship, multicultural learning environments and professional development opportunities Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Yogesh Singh, Chairman, AICTE, said: India's demographic dividend can become a global innovation dividend only when our students are provided opportunities to learn, research and collaborate beyond geographical boundaries. Applications for the GRI 2027 programme open on 5 August 2026 and will remain open until 16 September 2026. Eligible students will subsequently undergo a rigorous screening, matching and selection process before being placed with faculty members at participating Canadian universities. The internships will take place between May and October 2027, with successful participants receiving comprehensive pre-departure support and orientation before travelling to Canada. To be eligible, applicants must be at least 18 years of age, enrolled full-time in an undergraduate or integrated undergraduatemaster's programme, have completed at least two years of undergraduate study (or be in the second year) at the time of application, demonstrate proficiency in English and/or French as required by the selected research project, and apply to a minimum of three and a maximum of ten research projects across at least three different Canadian provinces. The AICTEMitacs partnership represents a significant milestone in India's international higher education engagement and aligns with the objectives of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which envisions increased global collaborations, academic mobility, research excellence and multidisciplinary education. By providing Indian students access to internationally renowned research institutions, the initiative will nurture globally competent researchers, strengthen bilateral academic partnerships and contribute to building a future-ready innovation ecosystem for both India and Canada. Students are encouraged to carefully review the eligibility requirements and application guidelines before submitting their applications through the official AICTEMitacs Globalink Research Internship portal.

New Delhi rejects Pakistans Youm-e-Istehsal remarks
New Delhi strongly rejected comments made by Pakistans Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister on the so-called Youm-e-Istehsal, asserting that J&K and Ladakh are, have always been, and shall forever remain an integral part of India. Responding to media queries, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, India categorically rejects the political absurdity and futile attempts by Pakistan to observe the so-called Youm-e-Istehsal to spread malicious propaganda against India. Reiterating Indias position on the constitutional changes of August 5, 2019, he said, The Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are, have always been, and shall forever remain an integral and inalienable part of India. Jaiswal said, The constitutional changes made on August 5, 2019, are entirely an internal matter of India. These decisions have brought unprecedented socio-economic development, good governance, and democratic empowerment to the people of the region. Pakistan has no locus standi to comment on matters that are strictly internal to India. The MEA spokesperson also accused Pakistan of attempting to divert global attention from its own record. Pakistans desperate attempts to peddle falsehoods are intended solely to deflect international attention from its own dismal human rights record and its status as the global epicenter of terrorism. The international community is currently witnessing the brutal suppression of fundamental rights in Pakistan-occupied J&K (PoJK). Recent weeks have seen Pakistani security forces resort to lethal violence, targeted killings, and draconian bans to silence peaceful civil rights protests led by the local populace. Such state-sponsored violence against unarmed civilians exposes the profound hypocrisy of the Pakistani establishment, he said. Calling on Pakistan to address issues under its control, Jaiswal said, Instead of engaging in predictable diplomatic theatre, Pakistan would be well-advised to stop the bloodshed in PoJK, take credible, verifiable, and irreversible action against terror networks operating from its soil, and immediately vacate all Indian territories under its illegal and forcible occupation. The world is not fooled by these orchestrated spectacles.

Srinagar, Aug 5:Apni Party Provincial President Mohammad Ashraf Mir on Wednesday said that the party wants the Centre to initiate a meaningful dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially the youth, to address their issues and grievances. He also urged the Government of India (GoI) to restore the rights and dignity of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. In a press release, he said that the youth feel insecure and helpless, and therefore a meaningful dialogue is essential to bridge the trust deficit. Mir made these remarks while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Srinagar, as per the statement. He said, Today, on the seventh anniversary of the events of August 5, 2019, Apni Party passed a resolution at every district headquarters demanding the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood and other constitutional rights. On this day in 2019, the Centre took away our rights and dignity. Apni Party will continue to strive for the restoration of all the rights that existed prior to August 5, 2019, including Articles 370 and 35A. He further said, We demand that the Centre immediately restore Jammu and Kashmir's statehood, as promised by the Hon'ble Prime Minister and the Hon'ble Home Minister on the floor of the House. Demanding that the existing residency requirement for domicile eligibility be increased from 15 years to 50 years, Mohammad Ashraf Mir said, Following the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, the Apni Party leadership, during its meeting with the Central leadership in New Delhi, successfully persuaded the Centre to safeguard the exclusive rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir over land and government jobs. As a result of these efforts, the domicile law was eventually implemented. He added, However, we urge that the extending residency requirement for domicile eligibility should be enhanced from 15 years to 50 years. We also demand that these protections be backed by a constitutional guarantee to ensure the permanent safeguarding of the land and employment rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Mir said that after the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, it was said that Jammu and Kashmir would witness accelerated development and greater employment opportunities. However, the reality is that seven years later, Jammu and Kashmir has the highest unemployment rate in the country, while the region continues to face a significant development deficit, he said. He said that the police prevented the party's leaders from their movement in districts such as Anantnag, Shopian, Baramulla, and Pulwama. As a result, the resolution could not be passed in those districts. However, it was successfully passed by every other district body across Jammu and Kashmir. During the press conference, Mohammad Ashraf Mir was flanked by several party leaders including partys Chief Spokesperson & State Secretary Muntazir Mohiuddin, State Secretary and Spokesperson Dr. Harbaksh Singh, and others.
Khalin Joshi extends lead to 7 Shots at J&K Open
Srinagar, Aug 5:Khalin Joshi shot a five-under 66 to extend his lead to seven shots at 13-under 129 on day two of the INR 1 crore J&K Open 2026 being played at the picturesque Royal Springs Golf Course in Srinagar. The 33-year-old Bengaluru golfer, who began the day with a two-shot advantage, backed up his opening 63 with another assured display. His bogey-free round featured three birdies and an eagle as he pulled clear of Delhis Rashid Khan and Chandigarhs Angad Cheema, who shared second place at six-under 136. Starting from the 10th tee, Joshi, as per a statement, made his first birdie of the day on the 12th after striking a five-iron to two feet. He followed it with a six-foot birdie conversion on the 13th before picking up another shot on the third, where he hit his lob wedge to three feet. The defining moment came on the par-five seventh. Joshi found the centre of the fairway with his drive and struck a seven-iron from about 190 yards to 20 feet before rolling in the eagle putt. That was one of the best putts I made all day, said Joshi. I struck the ball solidly and gave myself more chances than I did yesterday, but I didnt convert as many. Considering how well I hit the ball, I probably could have shot a little lower score, but Im very pleased, especially to keep the card bogey-free. Joshi, a former Asian Tour winner who captured the Andhra Open Golf Championship in April, has dropped only one shot through 36 holes. His lone bogey came on the 17th during his opening round. With a commanding cushion heading into the weekend, Joshi is determined to stay with the approach that has served him well over the first two days. The strategy will remain simple. The rough is quite thick, so hitting fairways will be the key, he said. Ill continue giving myself birdie opportunities and hopefully convert a few more putts over the next two rounds. Joshi has also embraced the relaxed atmosphere at Royal Springs, where the striking surroundingsand occasional bear sightingshave enhanced the experience. Its exciting to see the bears, although keeping a safe distance is important, he said. The scenery here is unbelievable, so Im enjoying the atmosphere and the fact that Im playing good golf. Two-time Asian Tour winner Rashid Khan (68-68) and Angad Cheema (68-68) remained Joshis closest challengers after returning matching second-round 68s. Cheema, who finished runner-up at the Boulders Classic in April, joined Rashid at six-under 136. The Czech Republics Stepan Danek (68-69), Noidas Gaurav Pratap Singh (68-69), Chandigarhs Ajeetesh Sandhu (65-72) and Joshua Seale (69-68) shared fourth place at five-under 137. Eighteen-year-old Gurugram rookie Harman Sachdeva (65-73), who produced the only bogey-free round on the opening day, slipped six places to tied eighth at four-under 138. DP World PGTI Ranking leader Saptak Talwar (69-71), who spent the summer competing on the HotelPlanner Tour, dropped from overnight tied ninth to tied 23rd at two-under 140. The par-four 11th hole was shortened and played as a par-three due to waterlogging caused by heavy rain prior to the start of the tournament. The cut fell at one-over 143, with 50 of 131 players advancing to the last two rounds. The J&K Open 2026 is supported by event title partner J&K Tourism and hosted at the Royal Springs Golf Course. The tournament is principally backed by global smart logistics provider DP World, serving as PGTIs Umbrella Partner, alongside Tour Partners Axis Bank, Amul, Amrutanjan Enerlyte, Campa, Air India Maharaja Club and Kalyani. Their collective participation reflects a shared commitment to Indian professional golf and to showcasing Jammu & Kashmirs growing stature as a destination for the sport.
Rajnath hails new era of peace, progress
New Delhi, Aug 05: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35(A) ushered in a ew era of peace, progress and equal opportunity for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

The state was also reorganised into two Union Territories: Jammu and Kashmir, with a legislature, and Ladakh, without one. In August 2019, the Central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, repealed Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, effectively ending the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcating the state into two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
