The CAG report released states that in September 2015 of the offset contract for the deal of 36 Rafale fighter aircraft, it was deal that the vendor would meet its 30 percent offset by giving high technology to DRDO.

But technology transfer has not been confirmed yet. DRDO needed this technology to develop the engine Kaveri for the indigenous Tejas Light Combat Aircraft. The vendor has not yet confirmed the transfer of technology.

The CAG has said in its report that the offset policy is not producing the desired results, so the ministry needs to review the policy and the ways of implementing it. Where there is a problem, there is a need to identify and find a solution.

The CAG said in its statement, “it was found that the foreign vendors made several offset commitments to qualify for the main supply contract, but later did not appear serious to fulfill them.”

Surjewala tweeted, “The chronology of the biggest defense deal continues to unfold. The new CAG report acknowledges that the ‘technology transfer’ in Rafale’s offset is on hold. First ‘Make In India ‘,’ Make in France ‘. Now the DRDO’s tech transfer has been sidelined. And Modi ji will say – Heal all!

Sachin Tendulkar stated why team India opposed using DRS

By

When DRS was introduced for the first time in 2008, Indian cricket team were the first team to implement it in the longer form of the game when they toured Sri Lanka. MS Dhoni and Indian team repeatedly opposed the use of DRS. In an interview, former Indian legendary batsman, Sachin Tendulkar stated about a DRS incident when the Indian team was touring Sri Lanka in 2008.

“When we went to Sri Lanka in 2008, it used to be called UDRS (Umpire Decision Review System). Anil was our captain at that time; he had played for India for 17-18 years by then. Rahul was there, Sourav was there, Laxman was there, I was there… Zaheer, Harbhajan… you name all these guys who were around for a good 10-15 years or even more,” Tendulkar said Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel.

“In that series, we had referred around 15 decisions (20 referrals in total) to the third umpire, and out of those, we were awarded just one decision. So, either we didn’t know how to refer – not able to judge LBWs and these things – or there was something wrong with that system.”

“That’s why we expressed displeasure to BCCI. That was for that particular series. Not that you expressed displeasure once it stays permanently. Even after that plenty of developments took place. That was the only time. At least I didn’t say that it shouldn’t happen or whatever.”

“I just feel that when the ball pitches, its center point, the ball has to pitch inside the line. But when the ball hits the stumps, it need not be to center point. It could be a center point, it could be the left side, ride side or even the bottom of the ball, whatever. When it hits the stumps, it hits from four different points. So whether it is hitting, 49 percent or 51 percent, it should be out,” he said.

“Why do players go to the third umpire? Because somebody is unhappy with the on-field decision. If a new cricket follower is watching, he would only think that ‘the on-field umpire is giving a decision and the ball is hitting the stumps on both occasions. Why is the first one out and not out now?’ So, if the technology is not full proof then we should have more responsibility towards it,” Sachin added.

Reports of Rhea Chakraborty naming 25 Bollywood actors including some A-lister in drug connections have been going round since the actor was quizzed by the Narcotics Control Bureau(NCB). It was presumed that on the basis of her lead, NCB has now summoned other actors including Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and Deepika Padukone.

However, according to recent updates, Rhea’s lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, had now claimed that actor did not give any names to the NCB.

Maneshinde said in a TV interview, “Rhea Chakraborty has not named anybody in her statement. If NCB or anybody is making a statement that she has leaked, it’s totally false. There is no thread of evidence that suggests that Rhea Chakraborty has named anybody apart from what Sushant Singh Rajput had consumed all his life when she was with him.”

Talking about Rhea being called a part of drug syndicate by the NCB, he “Being in the household of Sushant Singh Rajput cannot be termed as a syndicate. She has not dealt with anybody in her life and there is no allegation that she dealt with anybody else.”

“What Jaya Saha did with Sushant and Rhea was only prescribe or send CBD oil which is an extract of ganja leaves, which is not a narcotic substance. You can see on the bottle of CBD that it does not contain any narcotic substance,” he added.

The NCB has summoned Deepika Padukone, Shreeepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khanand Rakul Preet Singh among others for questioning, an official said.

Rakul was asked to join the probe on Thursday, but she is now set to be questioned by the agency on Friday. Sara and Shraddha have been asked to join the probe on Saturday.

Deepika will be joining the investigation on Friday, her legal team informed. Besides Deepika, the agency will also question her manager Karishma.
