BJP accuses AISA's Neha Bora of 'Hindu hate', claims she is 'inspired' by LoP Rahul Gandhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on All India Students' Association (AISA) President, Neha Bora over her remarks on the Brahmanical system and religious institutions. The BJP alleged that she was displaying Hindu hate and shared an old statement in which she alleged that priests commit rapes inside temples. BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari targeted Bora over the comments and alleged that her views were influenced by Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP, Rahul Gandhi. He also alleged that the Congress was harbouring hostility towards Hindus, claiming that the party's approach posed a threat to the country's unity. Taking to social media platform X, Bhandari shared Bora's remarks and drew a comparison with an earlier statement attributed to Rahul Gandhi concerning the safety of women in temples. Neha Bora, poster girl of Rahul Gandhi, displays her Hindu hate! Says - 'Pujaris rape in temple'. She is inspired by Rahul Gandhi, who earlier had said 'Mandiro main ladkiyon ke sath ched chad hoti hai'. Congress hates Hindus, loves vote bank! Congress Soch is a threat to India's unity! Bhandari alleged in his post. The controversy erupted after Bora made the remarks while extending support to an impeachment resolution against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. The resolution and the criticism surrounding the Election Commission have been part of the ongoing political debate over the revision of electoral rolls which the Opposition claims have resulted in the disenfranchisement of 13 crore Indians. Bora had earlier accused the authorities of deliberately deleting voters' names and committing procedural violations during the electoral roll revision exercise. Following these allegations, Bora turned her attention to caste-based discrimination and the role of religious institutions, arguing that women and other vulnerable sections required protection from what she described as the Brahmanical system. Protection is absolutely necessary - and it is precisely from the Brahmanical system that such protection is required. This is a system which posits that the poor, the oppressed, animals and women are all deserving of subjugation and abuse. It is the very same system under which even Brahmin women are unsafe and fall victim to rape. Priests commit rapes inside temples. We have witnessed such instances... Bora said.

'It's Probably A Time...': Maxwell Calls Time On His 14-year International Career (Ld)
T20I World Cup: Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has announced his retirement from international cricket, calling time on his career that spanned 14 years. The 38-year-old, who retired from ODI cricket in June last year, represented Australia across 149 ODIs, 130 T20Is and 7 Tests, won two ICC Men's Cricket World Cups (2015 and 2023) and one ICC Men's T20 World Cup (2021). We probably had numerous discussions before and after the T20 World Cup, Maxwell said on the Final Word podcast. And it was pretty open-ended. There wasn't any pressure from (Australia team management), and we decided to sort of leave the door open. There was a couple of series that were coming up (in which) they were going to look to the future, and we saw that in Bangladesh with guys getting their opportunity and performing really well. It's probably a time where I need to spend a little bit more time investing in the body to make sure I can get through the remaining couple of tournaments I've got in my career, he said. Maxwell, who last appeared for Australia in their final match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 against Oman, was the oldest player in Australia's disappointing T20I World Cup campaign. The allrounder leaves T20I cricket as Australia's third-highest run scorer (2,897) behind David Warner and Aaron Finch, and as one of just two batters, alongside India's Rohit Sharma, to have scored five T20I centuries. A dynamite with the bat, Maxwell was a powerhouse in the Australian batting order, especially in white-ball cricket. His ODI double hundred, which came in a remarkable chase against Afghanistan in the 2023 CWC, was a testament to the all-rounder's qualities and character. Maxwell scored 3990 runs at a strike rate of 126.7 in ODIs, in addition to his 2897 runs at a strike rate of 154.4 in the shortest format of the game. With ten international hundreds and 136 international wickets to his name, Maxwell is one of Australia's finest all-rounders. One of the turning points of his career was the 2023 ODI World Cup league-stage game with Afghanistan at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. With cramps, Maxwell scored an incredible 201 not out off only 128 balls as Australia defeated Afghanistan by three wickets while chasing 292. Maxwell's last Test for Australia was in 2017, with the Australia batsman having played 7 matches. He has largely been confined to limited-overs cricket since and has been significantly more successful in that format. He will continue to play in Big Bash title with the Melbourne Stars, with whom he is contracted until the end of the 2027-28 season. Maxwell most recently turned out for Victoria in a couple of one-day matches but has also called stumps on his List A career. He has not played a first-class match since 2023. Maxwell's last Test for Australia was in 2017, with the Australia batsman having played 7 matches. He has largely been confined to limited-overs cricket since and has been significantly more successful in that format. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

A cricket ground is usually a place where fiction is not welcome. The latest and most unusual example has come from Leicester, where the shooting of Sourav Gangulys biopic Dada: The Sourav Ganguly Story at Uptonsteel Grace Road has unexpectedly become part of a real cricket controversy. The film crew spent a day at the Leicestershire ground four days before the countys Championship match against Glamorgan in August. Leicestershire head groundsman Callum Lewin told the Cricket Regulator that he was not allowed to work on or cover the pitch during the shoot. With temperatures reaching 35C, the surface remained exposed for around eight hours. The match later recorded 43 instances of uneven bounce. Leicestershire won by 42 runs, but the pitch was rated poor. The club was fined 5,000 and initially received a 27-point penalty, later reduced to 19 points. Leicestershire have appealed. The filmmakers have maintained that the shoot was properly authorised. Leicester is certainly not the first cricket ground to become part of a film story. More than seven decades ago, The Final Test, made in 1953, faced a similar question: how do you put a cricket match on the screen without interfering with the real game? Directed by Anthony Asquith and written by Terence Rattigan, the film tells the story of Sam Palmer, an ageing England cricketer preparing for his final Test at The Oval. His son Reggie is more interested in literature than cricket, but the film eventually becomes a story about father and son, generations and the powerful hold of the game. The Oval itself created a problem. The film was built around a fictional Ashes Test at the famous south London ground, but permission to film the dramatic cricket sequences on the actual turf was refused. The solution was to recreate parts of The Oval at Pinewood Studios. The replica included the pavilion and other details and was so convincing that the real England cricketers appearing in the film reportedly felt they were back at a Test match. Yet the film had something most modern cricket movies could only dream about: the real England cricketers. Len Hutton, Denis Compton, Alec Bedser, Godfrey Evans, Jim Laker and Cyril Washbrook appeared as themselves, while John Arlott provided the commentary. Hutton, one of Englands greatest batsmen, reportedly found the studio recreation so convincing that he felt he was taking part in a real Test match. The film also mixed scripted scenes with genuine cricket footage. Real England players were acting on a fake Test ground, while actual match footage helped make the fictional game look authentic. There is a tempting story that Hutton, Compton, Bedser and the other England players left an ongoing Ashes Test at The Oval to shoot the film. They did not. The film was made and released in the same remarkable cricket summer of 1953, when England were preparing for the deciding Ashes Test at The Oval. England had not won the Ashes since the 1932-33 series. Four matches of the 1953 series had been drawn, leaving everything to be decided at The Oval. And the man at the centre of the real drama was Len Hutton. Hutton led England to victory. Jim Laker and Tony Lock bowled Australia out for 162, helping England secure a famous Ashes triumph. The irony was almost too perfect for a film script. The Final Test had imagined an ageing cricketer playing his last Ashes match at The Oval. Then the real Oval hosted an Ashes decider that became one of the great moments in English cricket history. There was another remarkable connection. Denis Compton, who appeared in the film, was also part of the real England side that won the Ashes.
