After the arrest, Akhilesh Yadav tweet- ed against the BJP govern- ment. Singh reacted sharply to Akhilesh's tweet, demanding that both SP and Akhilesh apologise to women across the country and clarify their party's stand. He described Akhilesh's tweet as highly condemnable. The government spokesperson reminded that the founder and father of the same party, , had also once shown how the people of this party were supporters of anti- women ideology. In statement about a youth convicted of rape, Mulayam Singh had said that “children make mis- takes”. “After such statements, not a single woman or girl child of the state will support the SP, it is certain,” Singh said. He said that the arrest of Amitabh Thakur was as per rules after thorough investiga- tion. “What troubles Akhilesh in this. It seems that it is relat- ed to the character of the SP party,” he said. 06  !"  $%&'$(  $)% *+, *-*.      !#$ O      P #$%$% #       ' 2(-<=7) #'#       8 f we practise ‘Mera har kaam, Idesh ke naam’ in our daily lives, we can create the same %  %  2(-<=7) feeling of patriotism as our sol- diers.

havinaben Patel on Friday scripted history by Bbecoming the first Indian table tennis player to secure a medal in the Tokyo Paralympics, setting the tone for an upbeat contingent aiming for its best- ever finish at the Games. Feeding off the momentum generated by India's best showing at the preceding Olympics, Patel, com- peting in her maiden Paralympics, ensured a podi- um for herself by entering the semifinals with a stun- ning straight-game win over world number two and defending champion Borislava Peric Rankovic of Serbia in the women's singles Class 4 event. The 34-year-old, who was diagnosed with polio when she was 12, beat her Serbian opponent 11-5, 11-6, 11-7 in a quarterfinal match that lasted 18 minutes. "I could win my match today due to the support of the people of India. Please keep support- ing me so that I can win my semifinal match," Patel said after the quarterfinal. In the day's other events, Indian powerlifter Sakina Khatun finished a creditable fifth in the women's 50kg category while compatriot Jaideep failed to log a single legal lift in the men's 65kg event. The 2014 Commonwealth Games Bronze medallist Khatun had the best effort of 93kg. In archery, Indian compound archer Rakesh Kumar shot a career-best 699 points out of a pos- sible 720 to grab the third place in the ranking round of the men's open section. In the men's recurve open category, 2019 Asian Para Championship winner Vivek Chikara fin- ished in top-10. Another Indian in fray, Shyam Sundar Swami finished a lowly 21st with 682 points. Both the Indians were seeded straight into the sec- ond round in the draw of 64. World No 22 Jyoti Baliyan, who is the only Indian female member to have qualified for the Paralympics, secured a 15th place ranking in the compound open event. The highlight of the day undoubtedly was Patel reaching the semifinals and grabbing a medal, the colour of which will be decided on Saturday. She takes on Zhang Miao of China in the semifinals. There is no Bronze-medal play-off in Tokyo Paralympics table tennis, and both losing semi-final- ists are guaranteed of a Bronze. "It is sure that we can see a medal from her. Tomorrow morning's match (semifinal) is a huge decider what colour of the medal she will win," Paralympic Committee of India president Deepa Malik said in a video footage on her Twitter han- dle.  =:
