Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is the catch upon three Things by the Indian
Express and I am I Chasharma. Today is the twelfth
of December and hear a this week's headlines, starting with
news from the Parliament. This week, Prime Minister Arranged Remodi,
addressing the Lok Sabhah on Monday, reflected on the powerful

(00:23):
role One Day Martham played during India's freedom struggle, saying
its mantra gave power inspiration to the entire country and
the government now aims to restore its glory for future generations.
He contrasted the moment with the emergency era, noting that
when One Day Mathram completed one hundred years, the constitution
was throttled and patriots were jailed. Calling the emergency a

(00:45):
dark chapter, he said the nation must not lose the
opportunity to reclaim the hymns historical greatness and next we
shift our focus to news from Goa. After the detention
of Surreb and Gore ofv. Lutha in Thailand over the
Goa nightclub fire that killed twenty five people, their legal

(01:06):
team released a statement asserting the brothers our law abiding
citizens who never intended to evade the process of law
and were erroneously portrayed Senior Advocate than Weir ahmadmir advised
them to return and face India's judicial process. The brothers
were detained and ficicate following a request from Indian agencies,
and deputation proceedings have begun under the India Thailand Extradition

Treaty operational since twenty fifteen. They faced serious charges including
culpable homicide and negligence. Meanwhile, a new political controversy erupted
after Congress MP Shashi thar was named the recipient of
the Edsawarkar International Impact Award, presented by hr DS India

and NGO, focused on CSR and tribal development. Tharu clarified
on Wedness Day that he would not accept the award,
saying the organizers had not provided sufficient details about the
award's nature or context. However, hid AS Founder Secretary Aji
Krishnan said thur was chosen for his work towards nation
building and claimed they had previously discussed the honor with him.

(02:14):
Tharud maintained his participation was out of the question without
proper clarifications and now from an Indian Express exclusive, Indian
Cricket's global assent depends on fierce competition, a massive talent
pool and a belief that selections are fair. But in
Puducheri that foundation has been subverted. An Indian Express investigation

(02:38):
found a thriving shortcut ecosystem where fake addresses for eligibility
certificates and paid local identities allow outstation players to enter
teams overnight. A one man proprietorship has evolved into a
full fledged parallel selection system operating in plain sight of
the CAP and the BCCI. Over three months, reporters examined

(03:00):
two thousand player forms, visited listed addresses, and interviewed players
and officials to map the scale of the operation and
now in News from the South, The District Sessions Court

out air strikes inside Cambodia after fresh fighting erupted along
their disputed border, with both nations accusing each other of
violating October seasfire brokeered by US President Donald Trump and

attacks earlier in the day and with that this was
all for this week. This was the catch upon three
Things by the Indian Express.
