Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon says she cannot sign any movie just for sake of doing it and instead fo-cuses on choosing her roles with grace. Ravee-na, who made an ap-pearance in last year’s “Bombay Velvet”, feels there are certain roles she cannot pull off and wants to do films which touch her heart. “I can’t sign any movie just for the sake of doing it. I want to take up roles with grace, dignity and respect. One needs to grow with time and there are roles which I can’t pull off now,” she said in a statement.Missing villager found dead in Chenab river

A 45-year-old man, who went missing from his village two months ago, was found dead in Chen-ab river in Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir, police said today. “The body of Rumal Singh, who was missing from his village Jodhpur Ghat since January 14, was fished out from Chenab near Pul Doda yester-day afternoon,” Doda SSP Naseem Manhas said. A passerby noticed Singh’s body floating in the river and informed the police, he said.

The story of “Ramayana” has been told and retold through TV series, mov-ies, cartoons and anima-tion films multiple times but now three young filmmakers are adapting the classic in English to cater to the global audi-ence. Directors Vineet Sinha and Sean Graham with Creative Director Ronnie Allman from the US want to recre-ate “Ramayana” as they feel Indian mythological stories need to be told to the world. With the help of latest technology, the makers claim the film is going to be at par with Hollywood movies like “Lord of the Rings” and “Planet of the Apes.”

The BJP-led government at the Centre does not re-cruit Muslims in the Ayush ministry as a policy, a news report said quoting an offi-cial RTI reply. The report by the Milli Gazette, an in-fluential fortnightly news-paper highlighting issues of the minority community, could give the Opposition more ammo to target the Narendra Modi-led gov-ernment which it accuses of running an agenda of turning India into a “Hin-du rashtra”. Sripad Naik, the minister in charge of Ayush, condemned the re-port as being “false”, and said that it was “an attempt to defame us.” The ad-mission by the ministry – formed to promote ayurve-da, yoga, naturopathy, unani, siddha and homeop-athy – came in response to a series of RTI applications by journalist Pushp Shar-

Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar last year attacked and criticised each during Bihar elections. Saturday was different: they ap-peared to go out of their way to be nice to each other. The Prime Minister and Bihar chief minister’s show of warmth for each other became a talking point during Modi’s visit to the state on Saturday, belying the acrimony that marked their relations during the assembly polls

campaign. The two leaders appeared to go out of their way to be nice to each oth-er during two programmes at which they shared the stage. On his first visit to Bihar after the formation of the Grand Alliance gov-ernment, the PM exuded warmth towards the Bihar CM who responded in the same vein. Not only were the two leaders cautious in their use of words so as to avoid upsetting the sensibilities of each other, they extended warm ges-tures towards each other.

When the two first shared the stage at the closing ceremony of the year-long centenary celebrations of the Patna high court, Nit-ish sounded uncharacter-istically effusive in what sounded like an indirect compliment to Modi. “In-dia is now more capable. Its internal strength has increased. Its democracy is now stronger,” Nitish said, at a time when Mo-di’s critics have been ac-cusing him of promoting intolerance and of trying to undermine democracy.

Seems, the tentacles of law choose to torment the downtrodden over the mighty.

Former prime minister HD Deve Gowda on Sat-urday tried to downplay the controversy surround-ing business tycoon Vijay Mallya, describing him as a “son of soil” and said that “mistakes” happen in business. Appearing to de-fend the beleagured liquor baron, Deve Gowda also said that mistakes happen in business. “Vijay Mallya was born in Karnataka and is from a reputed family. Subsequently in business there may be some areas of mistakes and the mat-ter has been subsequently discussed in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha,” Gow-da told the media persons in Bengaluru. “There was no reason to target an in-ternational businessman

The online version of the Milli Gazette report also carried images of the RTI replies. HT could not independent-ly verify the authenticity of the documents. The minis-try said that 711 Muslims had applied for the short-term overseas assignment as yoga trainers though

none was selected. A list of 26 selected trainers, all Hindus, was also provid-ed by the ministry. The ministry also rejected till October, 2015 the applica-tions of 3,841 Muslim can-didates who had applied to be yoga trainers, apart from the yoga day assign-ments outside the country.

The video showed the farmer, G Balan, being assaulted. “We borrowed Rs. 3.4 lakh in 2011 and have already paid Rs. 4.1 lakhs including interest.

The former PM also questioned why money was not being recovered from other big defaulters. “There are 60 other major people who have default-ed and only Mallya’s case is hogging headlines in the media. Why? The me-dia is bothered about Mal-lya because he is a Rajya Sabha member. Otherwise who is bothered about him and his case,” Gowda said. However, he said it

was up to the government to take action against Mal-lya. JDS’s backing had helped Mallya become a Rajya Sabha member for two terms from Karnataka in 2002 and 2010. Asked whether it was right to say that Mallya has fled the country, Gowda said, “As per the tweets which he posted, he is willing to cooperate with various wings of the government and judiciary to solve the problem.”

the Chief Minister said. In a letter to CAB Presi-dent Sourav Ganguly on Friday, Banerjee said the state government would make all security-related

The Chief Minister has also given necessary instructions to the law enforcement au-thorities for smooth con-duct of the match at the Eden Gardens, officials said. Right through the week, there were reports suggesting the Pakistan team could refrain from participating in the mega event.

At a subsequent function in Hajipur, organised to launch and inaugurate dif-ferent railway projects, the PM got up from his seat to ask people to stop chant-

ing his name when Nitish was delivering his speech. The two were seated next to each other at Hajipur, unlike at the Patna high court where state gover-

nor Ram Nath Kovind was seated next to the PM. Nitish spoke of mutual co-operation. “The centre and state should work together and we are committed for

a free and independent ju-diciary.” Modi, for his part, talked of development of Bihar and eastern India. Earlier, Kumar was pres-ent at the Patna airport to receive the PM, who was the face of the BJP’s elec-tion campaign in Bihar last year. When the high court programme concluded, they posed for the cameras as Modi walked up to Nit-ish’s side and appeared to say something that had ev-eryone on the stage smil-ing.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYAadhaar bill: For ‘one citizen, one identity’ reality

The Lok Sabha passed the Aadhaar bill on Friday to make sure its subsidies and services reach the people directly, thereby going beyond the scheme’s current mandate of assigning a unique identity to residents. First mooted by Nandan Nilekani in 2009, the concept of using a citizen-centric unique identi-fication mechanism was embraced by the UPA gov-ernment via an executive notification. However, as the gamut of citizen’s personal information collect-ed by the government began increasing, there were demands to make this process more accountable and transparent in its operations. After two failed attempts in 2010 and 2013 to establish the National Identification Authority of India (NIAI) by the UPA Government, the Aadhaar (Targeted delivery of fi-nancial and other subsidies, benefits and services) Bill, 2016 provides for establishment of a Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Coming on the back of a pending Supreme Court case to address the apprehensions about the lack of ade-quate provisions to protect the privacy of citizens, this bill is expected to have far reaching impacts on the way citizen’s data is collected, used, shared and protected from misuse by government agencies. The bill, while defining a subsidy as any form of aid, support, grant, subvention, or appropriation, in cash or kind, to an individual or a group of individ-uals provided by the central government, mandates that the beneficiary furnish or enroll for an Aad-haar number while seeking benefits. However, it goes on to inform that if an Aadhaar number is not assigned to an individual, the individual shall be offered alternate and viable means of identification for delivery of the subsidy or service by the gov-ernment. The bill draws heavily from the National Identification Authority of India (NIAI) Bill (2010) in nature and scope, but has some significant addi-tions, primarily focused on bringing in more clarity in definitions, incorporating provisions protecting citizen data privacy and widening the scope of pe-nal provisions for unauthorized access to citizen’s personal information. It categorises the personal information collected from citizens in four main categories. The government should also look at in-troducing amendments to other acts that permit for collection of information such as the Census Tax Act (1948), Income Tax Act (1961), Passport Act (1967) etc. and align them with the strong penal provisions in this bill.

I think the term ‘SUV’ has been overly abused not just by the industry and manufacturers, but also by consumers. It doesn’t take anything more than a broad similarity to a ‘typical’ SUV body shape for a vehicle — product characteristics notwithstanding — to get bejewelled with many SUV mentions in marketing gabber, and that makes an impressionable impact in the minds of commoners too. It’s perhaps the lack of being able to come up with an official term for such cars that we still use the term ‘SUV’ with some sort of an accompanying word like ‘com-pact’ or ‘lifestyle’ with it for such pretentious cars. I’ve driven everything that this segment offers — Ford EcoSport to the latest Mahindra KUV100 — and they’re really not SUVs. Not one bit. There’s the TUV300 by Mahindra which is a ladder frame construction and sounds truest to what an SUV is in its traditional sense, so I won’t condemn it yet — especially because I’ve not driven it in any, even

slightly, off-road condition, to be honest.

Researchers from Rutgers University in the US have performed the first study of free-form gesture passwords for smartphones in the field. Free-form gesture pass-words allow people to draw a password of any shape with any number of fingers, researchers said. The results, combined with previous studies, show that free-form gesture passwords are a serious al-ternative to text or other login methods, especial-ly for mobile devices, they said. Free-form ges-ture passwords are very suitable for touchscreens, faster to use, easy to remember and hard to guess. “Preventing people from hacking into your smart-phone is a major issue, and it becomes even more important because people carry their smartphones everywhere,” said Janne Lindqvist from Rutgers

In a significant step, the Indian Health Ministry has banned around 350 fixed dose combination (FDC) drugs that are widely available in the mar-ket over safety concerns.

The Health Ministry has already approved the ban or-der with immediate effect from Friday, although the gazette notification is likely to be printed by Monday. It is said that these drugs contain codeine which cause lethal damage to brain and psyche, prompting the government to restrict manufactur-ing and sale of these medicines. These drugs were found to be “irrational” without any therapeutic ef-ficacy and use. Also, there were concerns about the misuse of these medicines as they were considered unsafe for mass consumption. The Health Ministry has also reportedly issued a show cause notices to companies manufacturing and selling these drugs.

He may struggle to get winning positions in tournaments but when it comes to World Champi-onships and Candidates Tournaments, Viswana-than Anand is a different player altogether. Not a lot of people had given him much importance in the 2016 Candidates Tourna-ment that started in Mos-cow on Friday following some indifferent results in 2015, but the 26-year-old Indian GM showed that he is still a force to reck-on with in this format. On Friday, Anand defeated former World Champi-on Veselin Topalov in the

first round of the 8-player double round-robin tour-nament in Moscow to start the 2016 Candidates Championship on a rous-ing note. Anand’s victory is very significant because the games on the other two boards on the opening day ended in draw. Young Anish Giri of Netherlands was still engaged in a mara-thon battle with Armenia’s Levon Aronian at the time of going to press. So while the top two favourites for winning the candidates here – Fabiano Caruana and Hikaru Nakamura of the United States – played out a draw, Anand made a strong start by overcoming

Topalov, the man he beat in a World Championship Final match in Sofia in 2010. In a clash between the two oldest players in the tournament, the 46-year-old Anand got a slight advantage going into the middle game after To-palov opted for Anti-Ber-lin attack in Ruy Lopez opening.

As the debate over the alleged fake encounter of suspected LeT opera-tive Ishrat Jahan raged in the Lok Sabha on Friday, BJP MP Anurag Thakur lashed out at Congress leaders Sonia and Ra-hul Gandhi for carrying out a “political vendet-ta” against Prime Min-ister Narendra Modi and “siding with Maoists”. Speaking to reporters in Ahmedabad, the Hamir-pur MP said, “Congress tried to kill two birds with one stone… by slowly killing the Intelligence agencies and terminat-ing their political oppo-nents. What Ishrat Jahan could not do with a gun, and those with her could not accomplish, the same task was taken up by So-nia Gandhi who tried to finish Modi politically by

What Ishrat couldn’t do with a gun, Sonia did: Anurag Thakur

After 14 years, Gujarat court acquits 118 people accused in 2002 riots case

implicating him in false cases…” Alleging that the Congress misused the country’s intelligence agencies, Thakur said that an affidavit claim-ing that Ishrat Jahan was a terrorist was made on August 6, 2009, only to be changed in September that year. Congress lead-ers have repeatedly shied away from discussing this issue in TV debates and

in the Parliament, alleged Thakur, who was here to launch the Yuva Morcha’s ‘India First’ campaign. “Which Congress lead-er tried to make changes in the (Ishrat) affidavit ? In 2004, LeT had itself claimed that she was their first female martyr and today Congress leaders are supporting those who are calling a terrorist a martyr. Is this Congress

ideology? NIA, then NSA M K Narayanan… he ac-cepted that she was a ter-rorist… even IB-RAW officials… if all these agencies believed Ishrat was a terrorist then why don’t Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi accept that she was a terrorist? Why are they wanting to give her a clean chit? Is the Congress seeing a politi-cal gain in this?”

On Friday Additional Sessions Judge NT Solanki acquitted the accused due to

“lack of evidence” as communities living in the neighborhood refrained from deposing

against each otherRoad, Kanipura and out-side Amdavadi darwaza. According to Public Pros-ecutor Advocate Paresh Dhora, the accused were arrested from neighbour-ing areas in a continuing FIR of the incidents of violence between March 1 and March 2, 2002. On Friday Additional Ses-sions Judge NT Solan-ki acquitted the accused due to “lack of evidence” as communities living in the neighborhood re-frained from deposing against each other. Pros-ecutor Dhora said, “The two communities do not

have any bitterness al-though the riots occurred spontaneously in many areas. The court could not hold the accused guilty as the witnesses belonging to both com-munities did not make any statements against each other during depo-sition before the sessions judge. They would even come together during the trial.” Although no person was reported in-jured or killed in the in-

cident that occurred, the two communities had come face-to-face, pelt-ing stones at each other and setting vehicles on fire. The accused were arrested in 2005 after police probe and tried also for possessing life threatening weapons like swords, bricks, hockey sticks, pipes, choppers and stones. During the trial, 11 of the 118 per-sons died due to natural causes.
