DDCA row: Campaign against Arun Jaitley will fail, says BJP
He also said that the defamation suits would not scare him from his path and his fight against corruption would continue. What compounded the crisis for Jaitley and his party was the attack by BJP lawmaker Kirti Azad on the issue.

Strong reviews for the film, which is set 30 years after “Return of the Jedi”, have added to the fervor for ” The Force Awakens “. Despite raking in some 7 million worldwide on its opening weekend, it wasn’t enough to knock Jurassic World off the top spot.

WKU comes from behind to beat USF in Miami Beach Bowl
Doughty, playing his final game for Western Kentucky , spotted USF a 14-0 lead and spent much of the first half looking spotty. The South Florida defense has held 6 of 7 Conference opponents below their season scoring average, and one equaled it.
Riddick took a check-down pass from Stafford in the left flat and used a juke move on LB Dannell Ellerbe that left the Saints’ defender checking his ankles.
Not one of Stafford’s touchdown strikes went for more than 5 yards, but he was poised, accurate and did not turn the ball over. The Saints had a first-and-goal on the Detroit 1 at the end of the first half and came away with no points.
With 60,168 passing yards, Brees now trails only Peyton Manning (71,871), Brett Favre (71,838) and Dan Marino (61,361), while his 424 touchdown throws are behind Manning (539), Favre (508) and Tom Brady (427).

After the break, Detroit extended their lead on a 15-yard Ameer Abdullah TD run to make it 28-3.
Colston’s score was set up by Abdullah’s fumble, which linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha forced and recovered at the Detroit 38.
Detroit came right back and grabbed a 35-20 advantage when former Saints running back Joique Bell cracked the goal line from the one.

‘So for those of you who said I’m not going because of the season we have had. “We can’t give up that many points (21) in a half. He was chasing perfection”, said Lions receiver Golden Tate, who caught two short touchdown passes.
