Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 17 (IANS) Veteran singer Anup Jalota has extended birthday wishes to PM Narendra Modi on his 76th birthday and said that his heartfelt wish is for the iconic leader to remain the countrys permanent Prime Minister. Speaking to IANS, Jalota also credited the iconic leader with bringing respect and recognition to Indians travelling abroad. Wishing PM Modi, Jalota said: Many, many happy returns of the day to our respected and beloved Modi ji on his 76th birthday. I pray to God that you live to be 100 years old, and may the countdown to those 100 years begin from today. Forget the past. He added: You have done so many good things for the country. Jalota said that PM Modi has done one more thing for his people. When we travel abroad and stand in an immigration queue in another country, when we present our passport, it says Bharat/India on it. The immigration officers smile. Many people even ask us, How is Mr Modi? People respect us. Modi ji, you have earned respect for us in the world. We earn respect through our art and our work, but being a citizen of a country that is now receiving a different kind of respect is something else altogether. I want to thank you for that, said Jalota. He also expressed that he wants PM Modi as the permanent Prime Minister of this country. Yes, there is one more thing that has been on my mind, and I want to say it to you. My heart wishes that you remain the permanent Prime Minister of this country. I know that this is practically not possible, but all of us feel so safe and happy with you as our Prime Minister that it is our heartfelt wish that you remain the permanent Prime Minister, he said.
Democrats press Trump to raise Tibet, Uyghur human rights issue with Xi
Digital Desk | Washington, Sep 17 (IANS) Democratic lawmakers have urged President Donald Trump to raise human rights concerns, including China's treatment of Tibetans and Uyghurs, during Chinese President Xi Jinping's forthcoming White House visit, accusing his administration of sidelining the issue in relations with Beijing. At a Democratic-led hearing on Tuesday, lawmakers said commercial interests should not eclipse concerns over repression in China. They also criticised cuts to programmes supporting human rights groups and independent information for Chinese audiences. The hearing brought together Representatives Greg Stanton, Jim McGovern, Ro Khanna, Nancy Pelosi and Seth Moulton. Their opening statements were released on September 16 (local time). Stanton said Trump would host Xi for a state dinner the following week. He urged Washington to confront Beijing over its treatment of ethnic and religious minorities. Standing up for the oppressed in the PRC, whether it be Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kongers, Mongolians, or Han Chinese, has always been and must be a bipartisan issue. Stanton alleged that 650,000 Tibetans were forced from their homes in 2024 under a programme involving the transfer of rural workers. He also cited an estimate that almost 3.5 million Tibetans had been forced from their homes since 2000. He said persecution of Uyghurs continued, more than three years after the House select committee on China held a hearing focused on their treatment. The supplied release contained no response from the White House or the Chinese government to the lawmakers' allegations. McGovern, the top Democrat on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, accused Trump of abandoning a longstanding approach that combined engagement with pressure over human rights. President Trump has removed human rights from US foreign policy in favour of a transactional approach. He criticised Secretary of State Marco Rubio over cuts to the State Department's human rights work and grants to organisations focused on China. He also attacked administration efforts to eliminate Radio Free Asia and Voice of America. McGovern said the current Congress had not sent a single China human rights bill to the president. He contrasted that record with several bipartisan measures passed between 2018 and 2024. Khanna, the senior Democrat on the House select committee on China, questioned whether Trump's trade rhetoric was matched by action against goods produced through forced labour. We actually were enforcing the law, Khanna said, referring to the Biden administration. He accused Trump of failing to follow through on the issue despite promises to protect American manufacturers and rebalance trade with China. Pelosi warned against allowing business interests to determine Washington's response to abuses. She also stressed the importance of publicly naming prisoners and recognising their courage. We always want to mention, whether we're delivering letters, whether we're speaking on the floor, whatever it is, to make sure that people in prison know that they are not forgotten, that their courage is recognised, and we will not rest until there is some justice in all of this. Moulton argued that competition with China extended beyond military and economic strength to international leadership and values. He said cuts to independent journalism and civil society programmes weakened America's ability to communicate with people in China. The witnesses included Uyghur Post founder Tahir Imin, International Tibet Media Organization president Palden Gyal, China researcher Yaqiu Wang and Hong Kong freedom advocate Jonathan Stivers. Congress has previously passed bipartisan legislation addressing Tibet, Uyghur rights and Hong Kong. These measures include the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act, the Tibetan Policy and Support Act and the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. The Dalai Lama received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2007 at a ceremony attended by President George W. Bush and congressional leaders from both parties. McGovern cited that event as an example of Washington's earlier bipartisan engagement on human rights in China.

Trupti Khamkar reveals if she felt insecure around Kareena Kapoor in Daayra: Saw another side of her
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 17 (IANS) Actress Trupti Khamkar is currently gearing up to return to the silver screen with Meghna Gulzars upcoming film Daayra, which stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead roles. The project also marks Truptis reunion with Kareena after their work together in Crew. Trupti, in an exclusive conversation with IANS, opened up about sharing screen space with Kareena once again and revealed what it was like to work with an actor known for her strong screen presence. Talking about her experience, Trupti said, Yes, I was lucky to be with the queen of beauty, the diva, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and I saw another side of her. Shes definitely the most beautiful person, a very beautiful soul and a hardworking actor. I have seen her really work hard for this one. The actress also explained why she does not feel insecure while performing alongside a strong actor. Trupti added, I believe that when there is a strong actor who is standing next to you, they only give you power. They support you and make you look better. That is the identity of a very strong actor. So, if an actor makes you feel insecure, he is probably insecure himself. Trupti further spoke about how she has been fortunate to work with actors who are secure and supportive on set. She said, You feel the energy. I think I have always been lucky to have strong actors who are so secure, who are so easy with their job that they fill you in. They are all giving. Kareena Kapoor is the most giving co-actor you can ever find. Sharing what makes such collaborations special on screen, she continued, When two or more giving actors come together on screen, it just makes the scene very rich. This film is that. This film is all about everybody who has a very strong screen presence and a very strong skill set. They are very beautiful actors and very truthful that just feed off each other, and you see it in the scene. You see that the scene becomes richer. Calling the opportunity a dream, Trupti concluded, I think somebody like Kareena is a dream. Every actor should get to work with Meghna Gulzar and, of course, the Queen Kareena. Daayra, directed by Meghna Gulzar, is set to hit the theatres on September 18.
