Demonetisation moral and ethical move, ‘organised loot’ happened under UPA: Jaitley Referring to Manmohan Singh’s comment on demonetisation, Arun Jaitley said: “organised loot is what happened in 2G, CWG, coal block allocations.”
Agency | New Delhi
Terming demonetisation as a “watershed moment” in the country’s history, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Tuesday defended the Centre’s decision to scrap high denomination notes saying the “status quo” of the economy had to be shaken up. Jaitley also stressed that less cash in the economy doesn’t mean less corruption, but it definitely makes it harder for people to
evade tax. Referring to Manmohan Singh’s comment on demonetisation, Jaitley said: “organised loot is what happened in 2G, CWG, coal block allocations.” “All that Dr Singh has to do is to compare the global credibility of Indian economy pre-2014 and post 2014,” he said. Describing demonetisation as an economic exercise with “ethical and moral rationale”, Jaitley added that the Congress’ only motive is to serve one family while the BJP serves
the people. UPA regime was riddled with policy paralysis, he said, while NDA government is built on structural reforms. On the impact of demonesation, Jaitley claimed terror funding has been squeezed and shell companies are also being easi-
ly identified. He also said 18 lakh deposits are being scrutinised by the tax authorities. Earlier in the day, Jaitley, in a blog post, wrote that that India has moved to a much cleaner, transparent and honest financial system after the note ban. “One of the im-
portant objective of demonetisation was to make India a less cash economy and thereby reduce the flow of black money in the system. The reduction in currency in circulation from the base scenario reflects that this intended objective has been met,” he wrote. “The next generation will view post November, 2016 national economic development with a great sense of pride as it has provided them a fair and honest system to live in,” he wrote.
NEWS Kamal Haasan says he never intended to hurt BRIEF Hindus but opposed violence in name of religion Delhi pollution: primary schools closed tomorrow

The Delhi government today announced that primary schools would be closed tomorrow in view of deteriorating air pollution conditions in the city. Moreover, all schools have been asked to stop outdoor activities, including morning assemblies, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said. “Primary schools in Delhi, including private ones, will remain closed tomorrow.

Veteran actor Kamal Haasan, who recently triggered a controversy over his comments on right wing extremism, on Tuesday stated that his intention was not to hurt Hindus, but rather to oppose violence in the name of any religion. Amid expectations of a big announcement on his long hinted political entry, the 63-year-old actor said he was already there in politics. “I am already here,”
he said while addressing a press conference in Chennai coinciding with his 63rd birthday. He added that he was holding discussions with various experts on the matter. Referring to his column in a Tamil magazine Ananda Vikatan last week, Haasan maintained that violence in the name of any religion was not proper and added that it was not his “appeal” against violence but “apprehension.”
“I don’t start with the intention of hurting Hindus,” he said, insisting that he never used the word ‘terrorism’. Haasan courted a controversy when he lashed out at what he called Hindu extremism last week, claiming that right-wing

New Delhi gasped for oxygen on Tuesday as a toxic haze reduced visibility, affected flights and trains, and prompted chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to describe the national capital as a “gas chamber”. Delhi education minister Manish Sisodia announced shutting the junior sections in schools across the city on Wednesday, as pollution levels breached permissible standards by multiple times. Junior classes will remain closed for some more days if the air quality doesn’t
improve, he said. The government also advised against outdoor activities such as morning assemblies in schools as drastic measures are proposed to clean up the filthy air shrouding the city of more than 20 million people. The Supreme Court-appointed Environment Pollution and Control Authority (Epca) or-

The Congress leader also cited both demonetisation and GST as the main cause behind the unprecedented growth of imports, which rose by 23 per cent in a year.

Former prime minister Manmohan Singh Tuesday criticised the Centre’s bullet train project, dubbing it an “exercise in vanity”, and said the government’s “priorities are misplaced” as it should have focused on the existing passenger rail network. Addressing an event of the business community in poll-bound Gujarat, the Congress leader claimed the project will not benefit either 6.5 crore people of the state or the nation, adding “Gujarati entrepreneurs know very well that if a deal is too good to be true, it probably is
not”. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe had in September laid the foundation stone for India’s first high speed rail project between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The joint venture between Indian Railways and Japan’s Shinkansen Technology is expected to be completed by 2022. India’s first bullet train will connect Ahmedabad, the largest city in Gujarat, to Mumbai, cutting travel time from seven hours to less than three. Modi had said that Japan gave a loan of Rs 88,000 crore at 0.1 per cent interest for the project.
2 / Dt. 08-11-2017, Wednesday Editors’ Picks wednesday, 08 november, 2017 Demonetisation was a defining moment in India’s journey to a less-cash economy
According to political scientist John Kingdon’s policy window model, three things must align for an effective public policy: The problem, the solution and the political will. World over, digitisation and cashless payments have been recognised as the first steps to solve the challenges of financial inclusion and access to cheap credit, both essential to end poverty. In April 2016, the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) launched a pilot for the world’s most-advanced payments system, UPI (Unified Payments Interface). But it took four months for the first few banks to upload their UPI-enabled apps. At the end of October 2016, UPI had just over 100,000 transactions worth 49 crore. In the case of digital payments, India knew the problem, and for once was ahead of the world in designing a solution. But it had not political priority. But demonetisation and the urgency to find alternatives to cash brought digitisation and cashless payments into sharp focus. Suddenly, ministers and bureaucrats started asking what they could do to unblock cashless payments. Incredibly, steps that would have taken years were completed in weeks. A 13-member committee was formed under Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu in December to suggest ways to push cashless transactions. The committee published its recommendations in six weeks; most of them were implemented quickly. Given the hesitant adoption of UPI, the Centre got NPCI to build, test and launch the BHIM app, all in less than four weeks on top of what is now UPIBHIM. Telecom regulator TRAI cut the USSD charges (levied on mobile banking transactions) from 1.5 to 0.5, encouraging feature phone users to transact digitally. Aadhaar Pay was launched in April, enabling even those without a phone or debit card to transact digitally. The MDR ---- the fees that card networks charge on transactions ---- was dramatically lowered by 75% and 50% for transactions below 1,000 and 2,000 respectively. With a lower MDR for card users, BHIM app for smartphone users, BHIM-USSD for feature phone users and Aadhaar Pay for those with neither phone nor card, India laid the foundation for the world’s most advanced and inclusive digital payments system serving over a billion people – and all in less than six months.

Actress Swara Bhaskar says that the casting couch is not new in Bollywood and that “sexual harassment is a universal phenomenon because fundamentally it is about power or rather the misuse of power.” In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, the Anaarkali of Aarah actress revealed that when she was “still fairly new” to the industry, she was harassed by a film director during an outdoor shoot. “He stalked me during the day and called me through the night.

Reigning as the Rajput queen in her upcoming film ‘Padmavati’, Deepika Padukone has impressed movie buffs with her look in the trailer and snippets of the film. But, that’s not all. The actress has also been turning heads at promotional events for the Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie in her designer ensembles. Casual, formal or traditional, she is known for experimenting with her
looks and this sheer white dress that she recently donned is another addition to the list. The 31-yearold wore the outfit from the Prama collection by Pratima Pandey. The floral embroidered dress that had ruffled hem and sleeves gave easy breezy vibes, and looked stunning on her. The ‘Tamasha’ actress accented it with silver statement earrings from Minerali Store. Stylist Shaleena Nathani did an amazing job by
curating the refreshing look. Moreover, it was quite a welcome change from the ethnic attires that the actress donned in the recent past. To round off her look, Daniel Bauer choose to give her centre-parted soft curls and kept the make-up soft and subtle by playing with nude colours. The floral sheer dress worked wonders for the actor and gave serious fashion goals to style connoisseurs. Check out the picture.

Rashtriya Dalit Adhikar Manch convenor Jignesh Mevani and Patidar agitator Hardik Patel were accorded police protection on Sunday, days after the election commission declared December 9 and 14 as the polling dates for Gujarat. However, as neither Patel nor Mevani had sought security cover from the government, the two termed the move as a “surveillance tactic” by the ruling Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) to rein in political opponents ahead of the assembly elections. Both the emerging leaders have been warming up to the Congress in the runup to the polls. The “unwelcome” security cover came within days of the two groups meeting Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and other party leaders to discuss a possible electoral alliance.

The ceramics industry in India came into existence about a century ago and has matured over time to form an industrial base. The road show for Vibrant Ceramics Expo & Summit-17 was done in more than 65 countries and 100 smart cities of India. The primary reason for the road show was to increase the awareness among the Ceramic Industry and also to prove the fact that they stand second after China when it comes to Ceramic Industry. Also, another noteworthy observation was made during the meet that if Indian Ceramics Industry starts purchasing Ceramics from Morbi, Gujarat, India can overtake all other nations who
