| An engraved ‘Bhagavad Gita’ near the statue of Kalam kicked up a row. The memorial was constructed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation with which the late former President was associated. The engraved wooden copy of Bhagavad Gita sculpted along with the statue had drawn opposition from various quarters. Late former President APJ Abdul Kalam’s family sought to put in to rest by placing a copy of the Quran and Bible near it. His relatives said Kalam was a leader to all Indians and no one should seek to politicise the episode. |

| The United States flew two B-1B bombers over the Korean peninsula. The bombers took off from a US air base in Guam, and were joined by Japanese and South Korean fighter jets during the exercise. The B-1B flight, conducted on Saturday, was in direct response to the missile test and the previous July 3 launch of the “Hwansong-14” rocket. North Korea said its latest ICBM test was a “warning” targeting the US for its efforts to slap new sanctions on Pyongyang and threatened a counter- strike if provoked militarily by Washington. |
