India achieved 7.8 % growth despite wars, instability: PM Modi

New Delhi, Sep 01: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday commended the people for the 7.8 per cent GDP growth rate, noting that the feat was accomplished despite wars, instability, and supply chain disruptions. In a video message on Instagram, the prime minister said that if people continue to stress on Swadeshi and self-reliance, the country's youth will be presented with a developed India in the 100th year of Independence. He also asked people not to go for foreign holidays, host weddings abroad, or buy gold unless necessary. I want to congratulate the people of the country for 7.8 per cent GDP growth. It has been possible due to their collective resolve and efforts. India has achieved this milestone despite conflicts, wars and instability everywhere, Modi said. The prime minister said that since the 2020 COVID Pandemic, there has been no stability anywhere, but India progressed well. He said certain people in India have been trying to spread negativity and falsehood, but the country grew all the same. We have to maintain the speed of our growth. We have to grow. And for that we must become self-reliant. The youth's dreams need our hard work to be realised. Let's not be lacking in efforts, he said. Modi said his government's policies are good, its intention clear, and that is why the country is reaching new heights of progress. India's economy grew at a faster-than-expected 7.8 per cent in the April-June quarter, showing resilience against concerns of an economic downturn over the war in West Asia. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first quarter of the 2026-27 fiscal year slowed from a barnstorming 8.6 per cent in the previous quarter, but remained well above expectations when the conflict erupted and disrupted energy markets.

The US District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered judgment revoking the naturalisation of convicted rapist Gurmeet Singh. A native of India, Singh entered the United States in February 1992 as a visitor for a temporary period not to exceed six months. He then remained in the US without authorisation for years until a family-based immigrant visa petition allowed him to become a permanent resident in June 2000. Attorney General Todd Blanche said Singh, a convicted rapist from India, is no longer a US citizen. He concealed a rape and kidnapping during the naturalisation process, and a federal court has now revoked his citizenship. Blanche added that American citizenship is not a shield for criminals. Fraudulently obtained citizenship will not protect criminals from justice, he said. Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate of the Justice Department's Civil Division said Singh

Handscomb, Ashes-winning Quicks Picked For Australia A India Tour; Labuschagne Misses Out

Wicketkeeper Sam Harper: Peter Handscomb has been handed another opportunity to revive his Test career after being named in Australia As squad for their upcoming tour of India, with Brendan Doggett and Jhye Richardson adding pace and experience to the red-ball group. Australia A will travel to Puducherry later this month for the four-day leg of the tour before playing three 50-over matches, with several players set to audition for places ahead of Australias next Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign. Handscomb, 35, is the oldest and most experienced player in the four-day squad. The right-hander has not played international cricket or featured for Australia A since appearing in all four Tests of Australias previous Border-Gavaskar Trophy tour in 2023. With Australia set to return to India in the coming months, the tour offers him a timely chance to strengthen his case for a Baggy Green recall. Doggett and Richardson are also likely to attract attention as Australia assess their fast-bowling options for subcontinental conditions. Richardson has returned to first-class cricket after several major shoulder surgeries, while Todd Murphy, Sam Konstas and Nathan McSweeney are among nine players returning from last years Australia A four-day matches in Lucknow. Young quick Mahli Beardman headlines the one-day squad alongside Spencer Johnson. Beardman is continuing his carefully managed recovery from back stress issues but has already impressed in white-ball cricket, including a two-wicket haul on his T20I debut against Pakistan in Lahore in March. We consider these tours an important part of performance and developing game styles in subcontinent conditions as part of our continued investment into the Australia A program, selection boss George Bailey said. Its a strong representation of players who will be in contention to be part of the group we take to India next year or see as having potential for further opportunities into the future. Wicketkeeper Sam Harper has been rewarded for a breakout domestic season, while Jason Sangha joins the group. Kurtis Patterson is a notable absentee, while Marnus Labuschagne has also missed selection. Its a strong representation of players who will be in contention to be part of the group we take to India next year or see as having potential for further opportunities into the future.
