CBFC asks ‘Pathaan' makers to make 'changes' in songs

 

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has directed the makers of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer “Pathaan” to implement "changes" in the movie, including its songs, chairperson Prasoon Joshi said on Thursday.

The CBFC has asked production banner Yash Raj Films to submit a revised version of the spy action thriller in accordance with board guidelines, Joshi said in a statement. He did not detail the changes suggested to the makers.

"Pathaan" found itself battling controversy and calls for a ban after the release of its song "Besharam Rang", also featuring Deepika Padukone, on December 12. A sequence in the song showing Deepika in a saffron bikini led to protests across India for allegedly hurting "Hindu sentiments".

"The film recently reached the CBFC examination committee for certification. The film went through the due and thorough examining process as per the CBFC guidelines.

Delhi girl acid attack: Police issues notice to Flipkart over sale of acid

 

A day after the shocking incident of an acid attack on a 17-year-old schoolgirl, the Delhi Police on Thursday issued notice to Flipkart, from where the accused had bought the acid.

The sale of acid is banned in the market but the accused, identified as Sachin Arora, had bought it online from the e-commerce platform.

The 17-year-old was attacked with acid on Wednesday morning near Dwarka Mor while she was on her way to school. Three persons have been held in this connection.

Arora, along with two others - Harshit Aggarwal a.k.a. Honey, 19 and Virender Singh a.k.a. Sonu, 22 - had planned and hatched the conspiracy a few days ago to throw acid on the girl after their friendship ended in September this year, an official said.

All the three accused are residents of the same locality where the girl resides.

"At the time of the incident, Harshit was driving the bike. Virender aided the accused persons by being part of the criminal conspiracy," a police official said.

In the morning before the incident, Singh took Arora's scooty and mobile phone to another location so as to create an alibi and mislead the investigation.

I have experienced racism in my life, says UK PM Sunak

 

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has revealed that he experienced racism growing up in the UK but the country has made incredible progress since then in confronting the issue.

The British Indian leader was speaking to reporters on Thursday night in the wake of a racism row at Buckingham Palace, which saw the resignation of Prince William's godmother after it emerged that the senior palace aide had repeatedly questioned a black British charity worker about where she was “really from”.

When asked about the controversy, Sunak said it would not be right for him to comment on palace matters and pointed out that action had been taken.

“It would not be right for me to comment on matters to do with the royal palace, although as we have seen they've acknowledged what's happened and made an apology for it,” he said.

Sunak, who was born in the UK to parents of Indian heritage, was pressed further on how he felt when he heard about the incident involving Ngozi Fulani, founder of London-based charity Sistah Space, and Lady Susan Hussey – a close confidante of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

He said: “As I have talked about in the past, I have experienced racism in my life. But what I am pleased to say is some of the things that I experienced when I was a kid and a young person, I don't think would happen today because our country has made incredible progress in tackling racism.
