Minority issues being used for political RBI halves dividend payout to Rs 30,659 crore in FY17 purposes, says Venkaiah Naidu Venkaiah Naidu’s comments came after outgoing Vice-President Hamid Ansari said the Muslims of the country were experiencing a sense of “uneasiness and insecurity.” SS News | Gandhinagar
A day before assuming office, Vice-President elect M Venkaiah Naidu on Thursday said that people were trying to use minority issues for political benefits. “Indian ethos is of mutual respect for each other. People try to use minority issues for political purposes,” he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. The former union minister also asserted that India is the most tolerant country . “India is the most tolerant country…Unfortunately, some people are trying to blow it out of proportion and trying to defame India, raising it to national forum,” he said adding that the country “is the best model of secularism.” Naidu’s comments came after outgoing Vice-President Hamid Ansari said the Muslims of

the country were experiencing a sense of “uneasiness and insecurity.” Ansari’s successor, however, noted that politics today revolved around cash, caste and community instead of development. “Unfortunately, now in politics 3Cs have entered– Cash, caste and community. We must return to 4 Cs — Character, caliber, capacity and conduct. Agenda of politics should be development,” Naidu said.
In his last interview on Wednesday, Ansari said, “A sense of insecurity is creeping in as a result of the dominant mood created by some and the resultant intolerance and vigilantism. A democracy is distinguished by the protection it gives to minority. Democracy is likely to degenerate into a tyranny if it does not allow the opposition groups to criticise freely and frankly the policies of the government.
But at the same time, the minorities have also their responsibilities.”
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has halved its yearly dividend transfer to the government at Rs 30,659 crore for financial year 201617, potentially upsetting the government’s fiscal math this year. The government had budgeted to earn about Rs 58,000 crore as dividend from the RBI, and the lower payout may force the Centre

All accused acquitted in Hyderabad suicide blast case Agency | New Delhi
A Hyderabad court on Thursday acquitted all 10 accused in the 2005 Hyderabad bomb blast case. The Metropolitan Sessions Court judge T Srinivas Rao exonerated the accused who were jailed for more than a decade. Defence advocate Abdul Azeem told reporters that the court acquitted the accused as the prosecution failed to provide substantial evidence. One of the 10 arrested men was out on bail while the others were still in prison. Reacting to the judgement,
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi wrote on Twitter that the explosive substance found at the blast site did not match the one produced by prosecution. “Police couldn’t prove conspiracy but the accused lost 10 years of their lives languishing in jail. Will the Investigation officers be made accountable?”
he asked. A suicide bomber blew himself up at the Task Force office in the Begumpet area on October 12, 2005. The blast killed a Home Guard and injured another. A Special Investigation Team was constituted to investigate into the blast and it claimed Harkatul Jihad-e-Islami (HUJI) of Bangladesh was involved in the blast.
of a significant jump in the central bank’s dividend transfer to the Centre because of demonetisation. In March, the Parliament enacted the Specified Bank Notes (Cessation of Liabilities) law. The government withdrew more than Rs 15 lakh crore from the system by outlawing old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. While the final value of unreturned money has not been disclosed yet, the new law was aimed at enabling the RBI to write off unreturned amount from its balance sheet.
who is where,” said Srivastava, who was here on Thursday, accompanying Sharad as he embarked on a tour of the state. If the ‘nearly 20 legislators’, claimed by Srivastava to be backing Sharad, are all sitting MLAs, it is a very significant number, considering the chief minister Nitish Kumar-led JD (U) has a total of 71 MLAs in the state. Srivastava was sacked from the post of party general secretary for “unauthorisedly” writing to the Returning Officer of the Gujarat assembly, appointing an
election agent for the crucial Rajya Sabha election there. This happened after the JD (U)’s sole MLA in Gujarat Chhotubhai Vasava said he voted for Congress candidate Ahmed Patel in the RS poll because the BJP had been looting the state for the last 20 years and he was opposed to his party chief Nitish Kumar joining hands with the BJP. “The party president (Nitish Kumar) has taken a serious note of the issue and has relieved you of your responsibility from the post of general secretary,” Tyagi said in his letter to Srivastava, considered a close confidante of Sharad Yadav.

to borrow more from the market, widening the fiscal deficit for 2017-18. The lower dividend payout also ran counter to the widely held view that demonetisation and unreturned currency notes could lead to a windfall for the government through special dividends. The RBI, which follows a July-June financial year, had paid Rs 65,876 crore as dividends to the government for 201516. The sharp drop in dividend payout has baffled analysts, amid expectations
from expelling him and Sasikala from the party – the main demand of the OPS camp. While leaving the post of Sasikala untouched, terming it as an interim arrangement, the resolution said the appointment of Dinakaran as deputy general secretary,
who was expelled from the party once by Jayalalithaa, is not acceptable. Dinakaran was named the deputy general secretary by his aunt Sasikala, who is currently lodged in a Bengaluru prison after being convicted in the disproportionate assets case.

Vikas Barala and Ashish Kumar sent to two-day police custody
Vikas Barala, son of Haryana BJP chief Subhash Barala, and his law graduate friend Ashish Kumar were remanded to two-day police custody in the Chandigarh stalking case. They are accused of stalking and attempting to kidnap Varnika Kundu, the daughter of an IAS officer on the night of August 4 in an inebriated condition. The duo were produced at the Sector 43 district court in the afternoon. The duo were interrogated for close to three hours at the police station after
Chandigarh stalking case and bailable sections of the IPC. Varnika Kundu, 29, had alleged that she was chased for approximately 30 minutes by the accused on Friday night when she was returning home. Earlier this week, Subhash Barala said Varnika is like a daughter to him and said police must take appropriate action against his son. “The moment I learnt
that Chandigarh Police wanted Vikas to appear before them as part of the investigation, I asked him to abide by it. Vikas was out of Chandigarh. Therefore, I asked him to come back and go to the police. Earlier also, when Vikas was called by the police for questioning, he went and answered all the queries,” he said.

Are international cyber attacks the wave of the future?
When cyber-security professionals were polled recently at their annual BlackHat conference in Las Vegas, 60% said they expected the United States to suffer a successful attack against its critical infrastructure in the next two years. And US politics remains convulsed by the aftermath of Russian cyber interference in the 2016 election. Are cyber-attacks the wave of the future, or can norms be developed to control international cyber conflict? We can learn from the history of the nuclear age. While cyber and nuclear technologies are vastly different, the process by which society learns to cope with a highly disruptive technology shows instructive similarities. It took states about two decades to reach the first cooperative agreements in the nuclear era. If one dates the cyber-security problem not from the beginning of the Internet in the 1970s, but from the late 1990s, when burgeoning participation made the Internet the substrate for economic and military interdependence (and thus increased our vulnerability), cooperation is now at about the two-decade mark. The first efforts in the nuclear era were unsuccessful United Nations-centered treaties. In 1946, the US proposed the Baruch plan for UN control of nuclear energy, and the Soviet Union promptly rejected it, locking itself into a position of technological inferiority. It was not until after the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 that a first arms control agreement, the Limited Test Ban Treaty, was signed, in 1963. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty followed in 1968, and the bilateral US-USSR Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty in 1972. In the cyber field, Russia proposed a UN treaty to ban electronic and information weapons (including propaganda) in 1999. With China and other members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, it has continued to push for a broad UN-based treaty. The US resisted what it saw as an effort to limit American capabilities, and continues to regard a broad treaty as unverifiable and deceptive. Instead, the US, Russia, and 13 other states agreed that the UN Secretary General should appoint a group of governmental experts (GGE), which first met in 2004.

Hollywood-Bollywood Golmaal Again actor Parineeti Chopra to record a new song soon Agency | Hyderabad
After making a successful singing debut with “Maana ke hum yaar nahi” earlier this year, actor Parineeti Chopra is now set to record another song. The actor is busy shooting for Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal Again. Asked if she has sung in the upcoming film, she told IANS, “No. I haven’t sung. I’m trying to butter up Rohit sir to let me sing one small thing. I’m going to release a second song soon though. I’m working on it. It’s going to be a good one. The first song did really well. So, I want to take this forward. I’m yet to record it.” The actor, who has starred in Yash Raj Films projects like Ishaqzaade, Shuddh Desi Romance and Daawat-e-Ishq, said with Golmaal Again — the fourth part in the Golmaal series — she has joined the big league. “I don’t think anybody in this country has not seen Golmaal. My dad knows every character by heart. I think he was the most
excited when I signed Golmaal because he is the ‘massy’ audience. For me, it was an honour to sign the film because it was literally like joining the big league,” she said. “Being Rohit Shetty’s (director) heroine, actor Ajay Devgn’s heroine…it was a big deal for me. The movies that I have done were with boys mostly of my age. It was like stepping up into the big game. So obviously, I felt proud of myself because I earned that,” she added. Golmaal is one the biggest films of the year, she said.

The world of Indian cinema might be brimming with stories and may be churning out about 1,000 films a year, but Konkona Sensharma feels it still needs to find a balance on the gender scale. The critically acclaimed actress-director says there are not enough female filmmakers and varied roles for women. “There are not enough women filmmakers. There is not enough variety
in terms of representation of women. There is not enough honesty in terms of representation of women in terms of women characters on screen,” Konkona told said over phone from Mumbai. But the graph of the skewed sex ratio in the industry is changing for good, she pointed out. “We are going forward. They are making small steps. It is good that we are also self-reflecting upon it and our choices.

Toilet: Ek Prem Katha will mark Akshay Kumar’s second film this year and trade analysts are confident that this film will be one of the biggest openers of the year. They say it may cross the Rs 50 crore mark within the first weekend. In an exclusive chat with indianexpress. com, trade analyst Girish Johar said,”I am expecting a good number. Somewhere
between Rs 13 to Rs 15 crore on Friday. By the end of the weekend, it would be ideal if the film crosses the half century mark (Rs 5o crore mark).” Akshay Kumar’s Toilet: Ek Prem Katha also has the advantage of the Independence Day holiday which falls on Tuesday. The film is expected to dominate the box office if it delivers powerful content. “There are no good films at the box office. The ac-
tual word-of-mouth might boost Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. It will definitely affect the collection of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Harry Met Sejal and Anil Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor’s Mubarakan. This is the biggest release of the week so far and naturally, this will be the first choice of movie-goers this weekend. Also, people have not liked the content of Jab Harry Met Sejal,” Girish added.
Another TV relationship has bitten the dust. After actors Avinash Sachdev-Shamlee Desai and Amit Tandon-Ruby’s troubled marriages made headlines, Beyhadh actor Piyush Sahdev and his wife Akangsha Rawat have called it quits.

I don’t want to get into any more details as of now.” In the last couple of months, well between Piyush thought it to be the there were murmurs and Akangsha but case of normal marof things not being friends and family ital discord.

on that invitation,” said Sethi. Pakistan were discarded from hosting international matches after gunmen attacked Sri Lankan team bus during their tour in 2009 in Lahore. Pakistan though did get a chance to host a short bilateral series that featured Zimbabwe in 2015. Apart from hosting Zimbabwe, the PCB managed Pakistan Super League 2017.

A BJP corporator’s proposal making the singing of Vande Mataram compulsory in all civic schools in the city was passed at the BMC general body meeting on Thursday . The proposal , which calls for singing Vande in schools at least twice a week, will now be sent to civic chief Ajoy Mehta for administrative approval.The move was opposed in the BMC by Samajwadi Party , which claimed
that making the song compulsory would mean worshipping the motherland but the Muslim community does not worship any one apart from Allah. Sandeep Patel, BJP corporator from Goregaon, tabled a notice of motion demanding that it be compulsorily sung in all civic schools twice a we ek. “A song as such will only increase patriotism in the minds of children. Therefore, I strongly felt BMC should consider this
proposal,“ said Patel, adding that he felt it must be sung at statutory committee meetings at BMC too. The proposal received a nod from the Shiv Sena, the ruling party in BMC. Samajwadi Party leader in BMC Rais Shaikh, along with his six party corporators, demanded a poll over the issue but it was not considered.“While I am not opposed to singing Vande Mataram, there is no need to make it mandatory in BMC schools.
