On Monday Nepal PM Oli claims that Hindu lord Ram was born in his country not in India and Ayodhya is in fact a village near Kathmandu.

He also accused India of ” Cultural oppression an encroachment”. He said ”We still believe we gave Sita to Prince Ram but we gave the prince too, from Ayodhya, not India,” Oli said at a cultural programme at his residence. “Ayodhya is a village a little west of Birgunj, a district in Nepal that is around 135 km from capital Kathmandu. We have been oppressed a bit, culturally. Facts have been encroached on.”

”Marriage between bride and bridegroom at such a distance was not possible at the time when there was no communication and transportation system. The place called Thori, near Birgunj is the real Ayodhya, where Lord Ram was born. In India there is great dispute on Ayodhya. But, there is no dispute in our Ayodhya,” Prime Minister Oli was quoted as saying by his press advisor Surya Thapa.

BJP national spokesperson Bizay Sonkar Shastri said that the Communists in Nepal will be rejected by the masses in the same way they have been in India, even as Left parties in India played with people’s faith.

“Lord Ram is a matter of faith for us, and people will not allow anybody, be it Prime Minister of Nepal or anyone, to play with this,” he said in New Delhi.

A teenage girl from Lucknow creates history. She scores 600/600 in CBSE class.

Divyanshi Jain a student of Navyug Radiance Senior Secondary school aced her English, Sanskrit, History, Economics, Geography and Insurance exams. Divyanshi Jain schools 100% marks in class 12th.

Also Tushar Singh a student of DPS Bulandshahar scores 100 out of 100 in all subjects.

Now they both became internet sensation everyone is saying that the result of Tushar and Divyanshi is best example of equality. Every student should take motivation from them and make impossible things into possible.

The Board has not released any merit list or toppers list more popularly known as this year as not all exams were conducted due to coronavirus pandemic. As per the CBSE Regional Officer Pryagraj Shweta Arora, “No CBSE student has scored 100% marks in all their subjects in the past.”

Ms Jain told news agency ANI, “In future, I would like to do research in history and learn more about our country’s past.”

Whatever I studied I revised to see how much I understood of the lessons,” she said, adding that careful analysis of what she had learned served her better than cramming.

“I also focused on revision and mock tests that helped me to score better,” she added, noting that she relied more on learning from NCERT (national council of educational research and training) books than subject guides.

“I prayed every day but also studied hard. I made notes for each subject and made sure that these notes were brief, so I could understand the lessons quicker and better,” she said.

Tushar said while talking to the media that as soon as he saw his result he could not believe his eyes. He thought it was an error. He said, “I refreshed the computer screen after seeing the result. I believed the marks only after somebody from the school called to inform me.”

His subjects were English, History, Political Science, Physical Education and Geography. He has full marks in all of them. “I don’t think one should get full marks in English because no letter or essay can be perfect,” said Tushar. The Bulandshahr boy could not appear in the geography exams as the exam was cancelled due to COVID 19 outbreak.

      “In politics one should not expect big jumps. Everythingtakes time”.

      An interview of NCP Chief Sharad Pawar was published in the Sena mouthpiece Saamana. This was the first time in the 33-year history of Saamna that an interview of a non-Shiv Sena leader was published in the mouthpiece.

      Sharad Pawar said he does not agree with the notion that the state government and administration can function by “remote control”, during the interview.

      Answering questions posed by Saamna executive editor Sanjay Raut, he said NCP one should not take the public for granted as even leaders like Indira Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee had to face defeat.

      During the Maharashtra assembly polls last year, Fadnavis raged in his rallies claiming that he will come back to power as the Chief Minister. However, his plans failed after Shiv Sena joined hands with NCP and Congress to form the government in Maharashtra. 

      Criticizing the former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis “I will come again” rant during last year’s assembly elections, Pawar said voters thought the stance had an ego smell and Felt that these should be taught a lesson. Pawar also said that the news of differences between Uddhav Thackeray-led ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi’s ally – Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress – is “not even true”.

      We have taken this marathon interview for Saamana’s YouTube channel and newspaper. It was a great interview where Sharad Pawar has spoken on various issues from the current political situation to India and China border issue,” Raut said.

      In a three-part interview, Sharad Pawar spoke on a range of issues, spanning from the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra to the central government’s move to ask Priyanka Gandhi to vacate her government bungalow.

      Future of cricket in Indian after coronavirus tale

      Virat and company are positive for touring Australia where coronavirus cases are dwindling day by day. Even then coronavirus is surging its root in Melbourne, but at this point, Australia and New Zealand are the only safest place to play cricket. The former captain is also confident for this year’s IPL in September and October which might be in any foreign nation. UAE and Sri Lanka are the top contenders to host the tournament. Coronavirus cases in India are increasing with a variable pace with no clue of its end. So, cricket in the nation will not be possible for a very long time.

      Full strength Australian team is a challenge for Indian team

      Last time when India toured Australia in 2018-2019 Kohli and Shastri heroics led the first-ever test series victory for any sub-continental nation in Australia. This time the situations are different and Australians looked stronger with their two top-ranked players Steve Smith and David Warner. Along with the likes of David Warner and Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne is also a worrying factor for any opposition. Marnus Labuschagne urged as a dependent player for Australia and he made his impact in Australian middle order. Smith and Marnus in the middle order will be the threat to any opposition bowling attack.

      The BCCI president also believes the Indian bowlers can dethrone the Australian batting lineup and win the series yet again. BCCI also pitched for the safety of the players which is more important than anything else.
