SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Devin Booker scored 33 points and the NBA-leading Phoenix Suns overcame a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Utah Jazz 111-105 on Friday night.
Deandre Ayton sealed the victory off a pass from Chris Paul with 18.4 seconds left. Ayton had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Paul had 16 points and 16 assists to help the Suns extend their franchise record with their 64th victory.
“We read the game. They try to take this away? Boom, we hit this guy,” Paul said. “They took Book away and (Ayton) is open. They helped off of Mikal (Bridges) and we hit him. We weren’t surprised.”
Bridges added 18 points, capping a 14-0 Phoenix run in the fourth quarter to tie it at 98. His dunk and three-point play with 46 seconds remaining gave the Suns a 107-102 lead.
“I didn’t think we had a great team spirit in the third,” Suns coach Monty Williams said. “Then, for whatever reason, I saw this steadiness in our huddle. We call it the wear-down effect, where if we can just stay with it, trust each other and keep playing the right way, we can live with the results.”
The Jazz didn’t score a field goal – nine straight misses — for almost seven minutes in the fourth quarter.
“We had six assists in the second half,” Utah coach Quin Snyder said. “The ball stopped moving. We gave up something. When you don’t have efficient possessions offensively, it becomes much more difficult for us to defend.”
Utah has lost 16 games where it held double-digit leads this season. The Suns outscored the Jazz 36-13 in the fourth quarter.
“We knew we had to take it up a notch,” Booker said. “We were aware that they’ve given up some big leads this year.”
Bojan Bogdanovic scored 19 points for Utah. Slowed by Bridges, Donovan Mitchell had 18 points on 7-of-21 shooting. Rudy Gobert finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
“We didn’t get stops and they were able to run. We stopped playing the way we were playing earlier,” Gobert said. “We do overthink in the fourth and in clutch time.”
After both teams had rested stars in their previous games, this one looked like a playoff preview with some brilliant execution at times and extraordinary effort.
Showing why these squads rank at the top in offensive efficiency, there were amazing baskets until the Suns suddenly clamped down.
The Suns long ago wrapped up the top seed in the NBA — and showed why they look like the team to beat.
“In hostile situations, it’s us against the world,” Bridges said. “We become tighter together and just get stronger. We’re one out there.”
The Suns finished with a franchise-record 32 road wins and become the first NBA team since 1969-70 New York Knicks to finish with a better road winning percentage than every other team’s home winning percentage.
“We have some villains on this team,” Bridges said. “They love breaking the hearts of the fans (on the road).”
The Jazz are currently in the fifth spot in the Western Conference but could possible fall to sixth on the final night of the season.
Jordan Clarkson beat the buzzer with a 3-pointer to give Utah a 92-75 lead entering the fourth quarter, where the Jazz have been one of weakest finishers among playoff teams and the Suns have been the best.
BOOOOO-ZER HONORED
Carlos Boozer, who was a two-time All-Star with the Jazz, was honored during the third quarter to a standing chorus of Boooos — as was the custom in his 2004-10 Utah career. The Jazz haven’t been back to the Western Conference Finals since Boozer led them there in 2007.
BRIDGES FOR DPOY?
Besides his big shots in the clutch, Bridges helped hold Mitchell to 0-for-6 shooting in the fourth quarter.
“I’m not a politician, nor am I eloquent with pushing people,” Williams said, “but you can’t look at the effort that that young man puts forth every night on that end of the floor and then does what he does on offense.”
Bridges appreciated his coach’s opinion.
“Obviously I want that, but control what you can control so I just keep defending,” Bridges said.
TIP-INS
Suns: A pocket of Suns fans chanted “M-V-P! M-V-P!” when Booker shot free throws. … Officials reversed a foul call on Danuel House guarding Booker on a jumper in the third quarter, ruling Booker created the contact with a leg kick. … JaVale McGee got a technical in the fourth period.
Jazz: Grammy award winner Olivia Rodrigo, who filmed the High School Musical and her “Drivers License” music video in Utah, sat courtside in a Jazz jersey. … Mitchell led a rousing ovation for House after a number of hustle plays in the third quarter. … The Jazz had 33 free throws attempts to the Suns’ 15 attempts from the line.

Scott Hamilton is back in action.
No, the figure skating icon won’t be lacing up. He’ll be sitting atop a bike and cycling 444 miles Erase the Trace, a five-day ride along the Natchez Trace Parkway. The fundraiser that goes through Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee is designed to raise $1.25 million in funding for a breakthrough glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cancer research grant to treat the most aggressive form of brain cancer.
Inspired by the story of Scott Williams, who is a GBM patient and reached out to the 1984 Olympic champion’s Scott Hamilton & Friends organization a year ago for help in fundraising. Not only did Hamilton put together a skating show to help in 2021, but he also rode the final portion of the initial Erase the Trace. Now,Hamilton will join Williams for the entire ride from May 2 to May 7.
“Last year’s Erase the Trace inspired me like no other event we have ever done,” Hamilton said. “The hope, drive, and bravery of glioblastoma patient Scott Williams awakened a part of my heart that I hadn’t realized needed awakening. The instant we welcomed Scott to the finish line at the end of his ride, I knew it was something I had to do next year.
“I can’t wait to feel the wind in my face, the burn of my legs, and the pounding of my heart as I, too, rise to the 444-mile challenge. I am so excited to know that with each push of the pedal, we are getting that much closer to positively changing outcomes for people facing brain cancer.”
Erase the Trace references both the Natchez Trace itself and Williams’ battle with glioblastoma. Each mile in 2021 was ridden in honor or memory of a specific person.
“Even with 100% removal of a glioblastoma multiforme tumor, there’s always a trace of cancer cells that remain, just waiting for an opportunity to attack again,” Williams said.
A cancer survivor himself, Hamilton never has completed a bike ride of this length or magnitude. He hopes to also attract friends, whether celebrities or not, to ride with him. Or to support the cause in any manner.
“Even to this day, I don’t believe I truly understand the magnitude of the ride I’m about to go on,” the 63-year-old Hamilton admitted. “To physically complete the 444 miles of the Natchez Trace Parkway is sincerely such a feat.”
So Hamilton has been working with Johnny Burrell, a Nashville-based craniosacral therapist and a record-holding cyclist.
“ I am grateful for the experience of Johnny Burrell, who has taken me out to the most difficult portion of the Natchez Trace to check out my physical ability to handle it,” Hamilton added. “We rode for 44 miles and it went pretty well. Outside of that, I’ve been training on my exercise bike when limited by travel or weather, and getting out onto the Trace to practice as much as possible on my own. I am hoping and praying that I am strong enough to complete the ride.
“I know between Johnny and Scott Williams, both of whom have completed the ride, I will be in the best hands possible. And hopefully my nerves won’t get the best of me.” | https://www.news10.com/sports/scott-hamilton-to-cycle-444-miles-in-cancer-fundraiser/ | 2022-04-09T14:29:41 | en | 0.954319 |

Scotland battle into World Championship knockout stages to tee up Saturday showdown in Las Vegas
Scotland fought back from losing to Netherlands and Sweden on Thursday and Waddell says they're peaking at the perfect time ahead of a showdown with USA in the desert.
The 28-year-old said: "I'm really happy with where we're at, especially after the bad day yesterday.
"We felt we didn't do ourselves justice yesterday.
"I thought we played really well, and in the sixth end we did exactly what we wanted – we said we wanted to score.
"To be fair to them, they played a really good end in seven. We tried not to be too worried."

Italy toppled Norway and USA to claim a third-place finish in the group and will tussle with the Swiss in Saturday's second knockout qualifier.
Skip Joel Retornaz said: "We're super happy for making it into the play-offs.
"We knew we needed this win. We need to play very well to keep the groove for the play-offs."
Elsewhere on Friday, Niklas Edin's Swedes edged past Scandinavian rivals Norway 7-6 while Canada's – who bagged Olympic bronze in Beijing – two wins against Scotland and Denmark saw them top the group with 10 wins from 12.
And Germany and Korea narrowly missed out on qualification after failing to win their final two matches on the Nevada ice.

Manchester United's wretched season continued after suffering a 1-0 defeat away to Everton who move four points clear of the relegation zone.
If Erik ten Hag, who has emerged as United's chosen candidate to lead the club, was watching he would have been tempted to switch over to the Dutch version of Homes Under The Hammer after witnessing the offering at Goodison Park.
Ad
Ralf Rangnick, who welcomed back Cristiano Ronaldo, saw his side create some good early chances with Marcus Rashford denied twice by good saves from Jordon Pickford.
Premier League
‘I know the rules’ - Lampard accepts Everton sack speculation
But the home side showed more energy and effort and took the lead in fortunate circumstances when Anthony Gordon's strike from outside the box took a massive deflection off Harry Maguire and wrong-footed David De Gea.
United's scrappy passing, lack of a system and reliance on a piece of Ronaldo magic continued as they offered little after falling behind.
Frank Lampard's side continued to show more effort in the second period and defended for their lives.
The visitors did not commit enough players into the box despite bringing on Anthony Elanga and Juan Mata and opted for a series of short corners - against a side vulnerable to conceding from set pieces - as they succumbed to another tepid defeat.
The result leaves Rangnick's side seventh while 17th-placed Everton move four points ahead of Burnley, who play Norwich City on Sunday.
TALKING POINT
Further evidence that United are a complete shambles.
Against a side that had lost six of their previous seven league games, United put in another stinker of a performance devoid of any togetherness and endeavour to encapsulate their season.
Pogba came on for an injured Fred and offered little, Jadon Sancho's form continues to plummet, Rashford looks short of confidence in front of goal and Ronaldo had a quiet afternoon as he relies on service.
The club's season is reaching David Moyes' 2013/14 campaign/Europa Conference League invitation levels now. They have yet to put in a 90 minute performance since Rangnick's first game in December and it is a new low today.

MAN OF THE MATCH
Ben Godfrey (Everton): The defender's confidence would have taken a battering after his mistake in the 3-2 defeat to Burnley in midweek. But he responded brilliantly today with his positioning, concentration levels and winning every tackle.
PLAYER RATINGS
EVERTON: Pickford 8, Coleman 6, Mykolenko 7, Keane 7, Godfrey 9, Allan 6, Delph 8, Iwobi 7, Gordon 8, Richarlison 7, Calvert-Lewin 5. Subs: Gray n/a, Doucoure n/a.
MAN UTD: De Gea 6, Wan-Bissaka 7, Telles 6, Lindelof 5, Maguire 6, Matic 5, Fred n/a, Fernandes 6, Sancho 3, Rashford 5, Ronaldo 4. Subs: Pogba 4, Elanga, Mata.
KEY MOMENTS
12' - CHANCE! Fernandes' inswinging cross finds Rashford whose header is well kept out by Pickford. That is two good saves already.
27' - GOAL FOR EVERTON! Richarlison's cross is cleared and Gordon's strike from outside the box takes a massive deflection and goes in.
81' - GOOD SAVE! Pogba's low shot from distance is saved by Pickford, who has been excellent today.
KEY STAT
United have one win from their last seven matches in all competitions.

'Nice to be back up there' - Hamilton 'positive' ahead of race after nightmare start to season
However, he will be allowed to start Sunday’s race from the back of the grid.
The news compounds a difficult afternoon for Williams, who saw Nicholas Latifi crash out of qualifying after a high-speed collision with Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll.
The incident, which led to Latifi’s spinning car hitting the barrier at high speed, led to one of two red flags during an action-packed qualifying session.
"For me, it’s quite clear. I’ve just seen the video before coming here,” he told Sky Sports following the crash. "I was preparing my out-lap, and it seems like he just turned into me once I was alongside him.
"There’s not much more to say besides that. I let him through because he was pushing, or so I was told. Then I saw he had aborted the lap, so I wanted to carry on with my own preparation lap.

"I went back past him; obviously there was a big gap, and once I got past him, for whatever reason he decided to turn.”
It has since been confirmed that Stroll had been handed a three-place grid penalty as a result, although he was due to start at the back of the grid after failing to set a time in Q1 prior to the incident.
The Canadian has also had two penalty points added to his licence.
Charles Leclerc will start tomorrow’s race on pole position, ahead of the two Red Bull’s of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez.
The action commences at 06:00 UK time.

Islamabad: Speaking on the no-confidence motion against the Imran Khan government, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Saturday raised the issue of the accidental misfire of a missile from India into Pakistan in early March, saying that the accidental firing of the missile could have escalated into a full-fledged war between the two nuclear countries.
The Foreign Minister was speaking after the House resumed its proceedings on the no-confidence motion at around 2:30 pm (local time), following an adjournment of the session in the morning after a ruckus in the House.
“They said that it was an accidental fire… I have written to the President of the Security Council, and I have written to the Secretary-General of the United Nations… that accidental fire, could have led to an accidental war, between two neigbours who are atomic powers,” Qureshi said, adding that “the reaction time is not hours, its just minutes… It’s such a dangerous game that India has played.”
Referring to India, Qureshi said, “Where are the protocols, where was the “self-destructing system”? That missile was capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.”
The Pakistani authorities had earlier demanded that the world community asks India to ensure that its military equipment is safe.
Diverting from the issue of the no-confidence, Qureshi talked about the India-Pakistan relations, holding the “Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)” and the “Hindutva” ideology responsible for the lack of dialogue.
“When have we rejected dialogue? My Prime Minister says, take one step towards peace, I will take two, but the Hindutva mindset that has come there… the RSS mentality that Delhi is occupied with… they don’t want dialogue,” Qureshi said.
Further talking about the Kashmir issue, Qureshi said that India seeks to keep Kashmiris “bounded”.
Earlier in his speech, Qureshi primarily had talked about the “foreign conspiracy” to topple the Imran Khan government, alleging that the US had categorically told Pakistan not to go forward with the Moscow visit of Prime Minister Imran Khan. He also conceded that today (Saturday) is probably his last day as the Foreign Minister of Pakistan.
Earlier today, the session of the National Assembly was adjourned as the Opposition continued to chant slogans, pressing for the taking up of the no-confidence motion, while Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi was speaking in the National Assembly, local media reported.
In an apparent move seen as part of the strategy of the ruling Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) to delay the proceedings, Pakistan National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, while chairing the Saturday session to take up the no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government, said that the House should also hold a discussion on the issue of “international conspiracy.”
The Speaker’s suggestion was met with strong protest by the Opposition members who asked the Chair to stick to the mandate of the session spelt out by the Supreme Court.
Pakistan’s Supreme Court in a historic judgement on Thursday had called for the convening of the session of the National Assembly “not later than 10:30 am on Saturday” after setting aside the April 3 ruling of the Deputy Speaker Qasim Khan Suri against the no-confidence motion on “Constitutional grounds”.
Declaring the ruling of the Deputy Speaker “to be contrary to the Constitution and the law and of no legal effect”, the Court set aside all the subsequent steps taken, including the dissolution of the National Assembly, while also restoring Prime Minister Imran Khan and all the Federal Ministers to their respective positions as of April 3.
The court also fixed the Saturday session with the conditions that the session cannot be prorogued unless the motion is voted upon, and in case Imran Khan loses the no-trust vote, the next PM has to be elected in the same session. | https://www.siasat.com/accidental-missile-firing-by-india-could-have-led-to-war-pakistan-fm-2305548/ | 2022-04-09T14:33:40 | en | 0.962599 |

Vijayawada: Various associations involved in real estate development in Andhra Pradesh including CREDAI-AP, NAREDCO, and AP Chamber of Commerce, on Saturday observed a ‘work holiday’ and stopped work on all the construction sites across the state, to protest against the rising material costs.
Talking to ANI, Ramana Marty, Builders association member AP, said, “We decided to hold a state-wide ‘work holiday or work stoppage’ on Saturday 9 April to bring this serious issue to the attention of the Central and State Governments and the general public”
“Prices of steel and cement, the raw materials for the construction sector in particular, have skyrocketed, as have the prices of electrical goods, paints, bricks, plumbing, sanitary ware, hardware and many other items,” said Marty.
“Each raw material also increased by at least 40-50 per cent. Diesel and petrol rates are skyrocketing. Due to this the construction cost is increasing. Again ultimately it takes over the buyer,” he said. The associations that are participating in the protest are CREDAI-AP, NAREDCO, AP Chamber of Commerce, Builders Association of India, Licensed Technical Persons and Architects Association. | https://www.siasat.com/ap-builder-associations-take-work-holiday-over-price-hikes-2305625/ | 2022-04-09T14:33:46 | en | 0.948221 |

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav alleged on Saturday that the “double-engine” government of the BJP has broken all records of misuse of power in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council polls.
Voting for the Legislative Council seats from the local authority constituencies was held in the state on Saturday.
In a statement issued by the SP headquarters, Yadav said, “The BJP has crushed democracy with the power of double engine and abandoned all moral and democratic beliefs in order to forcibly get a majority in the Legislative Council.”
Alleging that Block Development Council, Pradhan and Zila Panchayat members were stopped from voting at different places, he said serious complaints of power-protected BJP men capturing booths at various polling stations with the help of the government machinery and getting votes polled in favour of the BJP candidates by bullying the voters were received.
Stressing that the chief election commissioner was informed well in advance about the “BJP designs” yet no action was taken, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said due to this, the credibility of the election process is being questioned.
“The SP believes in democracy and we are grateful to all the voters for voting in favour of the party candidates in these polls,” he said, adding that his party’s fight against the arrogance of power will continue.
Yadav alleged different kinds of irregularities during voting in Sultanpur, Amethi, Deoria-Kushinagar, Kaushambi, Amroha, Etawah-Farrukhabad, Sant Kabirnagar and Siddharthnagar.
He alleged that with the connivance of the BJP government and the administration, the democratic system has completely collapsed in the Legislative Council polls. | https://www.siasat.com/bjp-govt-has-broken-all-records-of-misuse-of-power-in-up-legislative-council-polls-akhilesh-2305654/ | 2022-04-09T14:33:52 | en | 0.97438 |

Shimla: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda on Saturday said the Congress has compromised with the interests of Himachal Pradesh whereas the saffron party has not only safeguarded the interests but also provided developmental projects and incentives to the state.
Speaking at the “Abhinandan Samaroh” here, his first visit after the BJP’s victory in four states in the recently concluded Assembly polls, Nadda said this was not just his honour but a regard of every party worker who worked to strengthen the party’s base in the country.
He said the feat was possible due to the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who ensured that the country regains its lost pride and glory and every one can live with dignity and pride.
He said it was the Prime Minister who ensured the weaker sections of society and those deprived of welfare benefits get their dues that ensured the BJP victory in four states. He said it was after 38 years that any government succeeded in repeating its government in Uttar Pradesh.
Nadda, who belongs to Himachal Pradesh, said the Congress lost its security deposit in a stunning 389 of the 399 seats it contested in the just concluded Uttar Pradesh. It was for the first time that any government succeeded in repeating its government in Uttarakhand.
Nadda said nine food parks of multinational companies have been established and the state has emerged as a pharmaceutical hub with 12 companies exporting products worldwide.
He said the status of special category state was also restored by Prime Minister Modi and accepted various demands like restoring financial assistance for development projects in the ratio of 90:10.
The BJP chief said on the completion of four-year tenure of the state government, Modi laid foundation stones and dedicated projects of Rs 11,500 crore.
He said projects such as IIM and AIIMS were sanctioned to the state during the BJP’s tenure in the Centre.
Appreciating the efforts of the government headed by Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur, Nadda said 9.37 lakh farmers were being provided Rs 6,000 per year under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna.
He said Rs 194 crore were provided by the Union government for the Smart City Project for Shimla, whereas Rs 190 crore were provided by the state.
Chief Minister Thakur said it was only the BJP where a common party worker could rise to the topmost position in the party, whereas all other political parties are headed by families.
Thakur said the Prime Minister also consider Himachal Pradesh his second home and was always considerate towards the developmental demands of the state.
The Chief Minister said the Union government has provided a special assistance of Rs 800 crore to the state so that the pace of development goes uninterrupted.
Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Anurag Singh Thakur said by winning all the four states under the able leadership of Nadda would surely win in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh as well.
He appreciated the efforts of the state in pioneering the country in achieving the target of cent per cent vaccination of the population in eligible age groups. | https://www.siasat.com/congress-compromised-with-interests-of-himachal-nadda-2305619/ | 2022-04-09T14:33:58 | en | 0.979715 |

New Delhi: The fundamental drivers of the IT sector’s growth have remained intact despite a slowdown said HDFC Securities.
The IT index is up more than 40 per cent over the past year, supported by earnings upgrade.
“The absolute return potential for the sector is likely to be moderate, basis growth reverting to medium-term baseline, lower growth dispersion in FY23E as compared to FY22E, and headwinds to multiple expansion based on increase in cost of capital and geopolitical risk premium, inflationary factors, and the lead-lag cycle of cost and pricing.
“The upside risk is on the longevity of high growth rate and downside risk is the second order impact from a prolonged inflationary environment and geopolitical dislocation,” HDFC Securities said.
As per the brokerage house, fundamental drivers for the sector remain intact, aided by continuity of multi-year technology pivot across industries, institutionalisation of operational efficiencies, supported by increase in talent installed capacity, lead indicators remaining robust – growth or outlook by global partners, services peers, hiring activity over FY18-21 and deal trends.
“Incremental tailwinds is premised on pricing – benefits to accrue with a lag based on contract renewal cycle and with increase in scope, INR depreciation, and increased offshoring and diversification of talent base from Eastern Europe by global enterprises.”
Besides, the report said that there is some growth moderation from over 4.5 per cent CQGR over the past six quarters towards baseline levels – with sequential revenue growth estimated at 2.6 per cent QoQ.
“However, Q4 revenue growth of 2.6 per cent QoQ and 16.6 per cent YoY remains well above the historical mark and incremental sequential revenue addition of $470mn is more than 2x the historical revenue adds.” | https://www.siasat.com/fundamental-drivers-for-it-sector-growth-remain-intact-hdfc-securities-2305612/ | 2022-04-09T14:34:10 | en | 0.932609 |

New Delhi; Thanks to the successful negotiations between an Indian agency and the Canadian government, Indian banana and baby corn can now be exported there, officials said on Saturday.
“The negotiations between National Plant Protection Organisations of India and Canada on market access for Indian Banana and Baby corn resulted in Canadian market access for these commodities. Secretary, Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, Manoj Ahuja held a meeting with Canadian High Commissioner Cameron MacKay on April 7 wherein this was cleared,” an official said.
Canada informed that export of fresh baby corn from India to Canada may begin from April 2022 after updation of directive D-95-28: Plant Protection Import and Domestic Movement Requirements for Corn and the Automated Import Reference System (AIRS).
Further, based on the technical information provided for fresh bananas by India, Canada has approved its entry with immediate effect.
“This decision of the government of Canada would immensely benefit the Indian farmers growing these crops and would also enhance India’s export earnings,” an official said.
India is the largest producer of bananas accounting for over 25 per cent of global production.
Government data showed that fruits and vegetables exports were up by 12 per cent to touch $1,676 million in 2021-22 against $1,492 million in 2020-21, while processed fruits and vegetables exports were up by 7 per cent to reach $1,202 million in 2021-22 against $1,120 million in the previous year. | https://www.siasat.com/indian-banana-baby-corn-can-now-be-exported-to-canada-2305604/ | 2022-04-09T14:34:40 | en | 0.957401 |

Chennai: Considering that many youngsters are influenced by watching movies, film makers should make films that are progressive in nature and benefit the society, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin said on Saturday.
The film industry should not only provide entertainment but also raise the bar and qualify themselves by promoting ‘food for thought’ among the people, Stalin said after inaugurating the Dakshin – South Media and Entertainment Summit — organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here.
“Movies should be identified based on their quality content. The conduct of film festivals enhances the entertainment industry as an art and encourages business promotion. By holding awards ceremonies, film personalities are honoured and skilled people are respected,” he said.
Appealing to the people gathered to consider him as one among them, the chief minister said his association with the film industry dates back to when he was one of the film producers.
“Even I had acted in quite a few films by doing small roles. I have come here to take part as one among you. Even in my autobiography ‘Ungalil Oruvan’, I have mentioned that DMK and the film industry cannot be separated and in the same way my family and tinsel town cannot be separated,” he said.
“This tradition has been dating back from my (late) father’s (M Karunanidhi) days and even now it continues with my son Udhayanidhi (who is an actor-turned-politician),” he said.
With COVID-19 pandemic easing out, all the industries are resuming normal operations and it is happy to note that the film industry too is bouncing back, he said.
The chief minister also pointed out that the conduct of such an event in Chennai was ‘apt’ as the metro city holds a significant place in the Indian film industry. “Southern film industry has been a major contributor to the Indian cinema and film technicians from the city are respected across the country,” he said.
Film makers should create films in such a way that the story, dialogue, direction are in sync based on the current trends and only then the film industry can continue to be a popular entertainment destination, he said.
Referring to the disclaimers shown in theatres ahead of the start of a film on smoking and drinking, he said in the same way disclaimers should be shown on consumption of ‘gutkha and ganja’ as they were largely impacting the younger generation.
On the occasion, Stalin released a report ‘Regional is the New National — Way Forward’.
CII Southern Region Chairperson Suchitra K Ella said films from southern parts of the country contribute 30 percent of the country’s overall media and entertainment revenues.
“The media and entertainment industry offer tremendous opportunities to excel in almost every vertical and the industry has bounced back to pre-COVID levels making the Indian media and entertainment industry grow at a much faster rate compared to the global average,” she said.
South India contributes close to 30 per cent of media and entertainment revenue with over 50 per cent of the films produced every year in India from the southern region, she said. | https://www.siasat.com/make-progressive-films-tn-cm-urges-film-makers-2305622/ | 2022-04-09T14:34:46 | en | 0.970455 |

Chennai/Hyderabad: Opposing voices from prominent southern political parties, including BJP ally AIADMK, continued on Saturday against Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement on Hindi, with former Tamil Nadu chief minister O Panneerselvam insisting the language cannot be foisted.
Senior Telangana Minister K T Rama Rao said “language chauvinism and hegemony” in the country will boomerang, responding to Shah’s comments that Hindi can be an alternative to English.
Panneerselvam, coordinator of main opposition AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, said people may learn Hindi on their own volition but imposition of the language is unacceptable.
Quoting Dravidian icon, the late C N Annadurai, he said if needed, people willing to learn Hindi may do so voluntarily.
However, foisting Hindi on people is never acceptable, the former CM tweeted.
He said his party stood firm on the two-language policy of Tamil and English in keeping with the ideology of Annadurai. “#StopHindiImposition,” Panneerselvam tweeted.
Rama Rao, President of the ruling TRS and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s son, said it would be a “great disservice to impose Hindi” on the nation’s youngsters who have global aspirations.
“Unity in diversity is our strength dear @AmitShahJi. India is a union of states & a true Vasudhaika Kutumbam’. Why don’t we let people of our great nation decide what to eat, what to wear, who to pray to and what language to speak!,” Rao tweeted with the hashtag #stopHindiImposition.
“Language chauvinism/hegemony will boomerang,” he added.
“I am an Indian first, a proud Telugu & Telanganaite next. Can speak in my mother tongue Telugu, English, Hindi & a little bit of Urdu too. To impose Hindi & diss English will be a great disservice to the youngsters of this nation who have global aspirations,” said Rama Rao, son of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Shah on Thursday said Hindi should be accepted as an alternative to English and not to local languages.
Presiding over the 37th meeting of the Parliamentary Official Language Committee, Shah had said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided that the medium of running the government is the official language and this will definitely increase the importance of Hindi.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin had and former Karnataka CM Siddaramiah had earlier opposed Shah’s remarks.
MDMK founder and Rajya Sabha member Vaiko warned that “Amit Shah’s opinion of Hindi is India will shatter” the country’s unity.
The Tamil Nadu unit of CPI also opposed Shah’s remarks.
Meanwhile, an image posted by Oscar-winning music composer A R Rahman on Tamil language has led to an animated debate in the social media on languages.
A line, appearing as a footnote to the image, is from a popular poem of celebrated Tamil nationalist poet Barathidasan and it denotes that Tamil language serves as the root to the rights of the Tamil people.
An artistic depiction of a white saree-clad woman in the centre, against a background of red is seen as a subtle reference to mother Tamil and opposition to imposition of Hindi.
While a section of social media users lauded Rahman saying he has posted this image with a red background to denote opposition to Hindi and full support to Tamil, there were others who questioned him on the intent behind posting the image.
A user, replying to the top notch musician, alleged that Rahman built his career, earned money and fame and everything by doing Hindi movies and now started targeting Hindi. | https://www.siasat.com/prominent-southern-leaders-oppose-shahs-hindi-should-be-alternative-to-english-remark-2305651/ | 2022-04-09T14:34:58 | en | 0.958075 |
