Crediting Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for ‘liberating’ Hyderabad, Union Home Minister Amit Shah today took a swipe at those who had “turned back” on celebrating the day due to vote bank politics and the “fear” of Razakars -- a private militia who defended the erstwhile Nizam rule in Hyderabad. “After so many years,

for doing business. You are not there to cultivate certain value system into the citizens,” Nirmala Sitharaman said there was a desire in this land that the Hyderabad Liberation Day should be celebrated with the government’s participation. But unfortunately, 75 years have passed and those who ruled this place could not dare celebrate Hyderabad Liberation Day due to vote bank politics,” Mr Shah said. He greeted the people of Telangana, Hyderabad-Karnataka, and Marathwada on ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’ and praised them for their courageous fight against the “atrocities” of the ‘Razakars’ to merge the region into the Union of India.

Agency News: New Delhi Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday called upon banks to appoint staff who could “speak the local language” and thus urged them to show inclusivity in their recruitment, media reports said. “You are there for doing business. You are not there to cultivate certain value system into the citizens,” Nirmala Sitharaman said while speaking at the 75th Annual General Meeting of Indian Banks’ Association in Mumbai, the Hindu reported.

According to Hindu Business Line, Ms Sitharaman highlighted this need “because of the diversity of our country”.“When you have staff at the branch level who do not talk in the regional language and who are patriotic enough to say “hey, you don’t talk Hindi, maybe you are not Indian” ... I think, this doesn’t do any good for business,” Ms Sitharaman said. She further asked banks to review the people posted at branches and make sure that those who cannot speak the local language “should not be assigned to roles dealing with customers.

SUNVILLA SAMACHAR 72, Narendra Modi Is Running Faster Like Newly Acquired Cheetahs Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned 72 on September 17 and the country celebrated howfast an African Cheetah can run in the Indian wild? Not faster than its destiny, right? Talkingof which, Modi is not ‘Destinys Child’, he is just another man-sized Gujarati with the ability toturn into childs play anything that he set out to accomplish. Modi&list of accomplishmentswill fill a book though there are among us, Modi&contemporaries, who will doubt whether allof those accomplishments will fit the book. On Prime Minister Narendra Modis 72nd birthday eight African Cheetahs have been flown infrom the wild in Namibia to their new wild home in India at the Kuno National Park in MadhyaPradesh, but not a la the Citizens Amendment Act! These big cats were by far safer inNamibia than they possibly can in an Indian wildlife reserve. That said, don;t be surprised ifModi birthday henceforth comes to be celebrated as National Cheetah Day’On Narendra Modi72nd birthday, there would also be millions who would wish Modi runsfaster than the Cheetah, runs straight out of their lives! Among them political rivals who havehad enough of Modi and his brand of politics to last a couple of terms and then bethreatened with a third. No Indian opposition leader has the patience of Russian PresidentVladimir Putin, who refrained from wishing Modi Happy Birthdayat the SCO Summitbecause it&not the Russian custom to jump the gun!Narendra Modi prides himself as a global icon. And one of his lasting contributions toconducting international relations is theHugwhich is now ritual in whichever part of theglobe Modi happens to touch down. The Modi Hug however, has no domestic edition.Modi never hugs the strange bedfellows he holds at arm’s length in any of the states andUnion Territories of ‘Hamara Desh Mahaan’.That, however, didnt stop political adversaries from greeting Modi on his birthday. Congressleader Rahul Gandhi, who is on his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, in a friendly gesture greeted Modi,and so did AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Closer to home, Modi’sown party men were lobbying him with birthday greetings. Modi at 72 continues to be leaderof all he surveys in the BJP.It&said that one of Modi&most winning trait is his ability to connect with people. The PrimeMinister is a showman with the gift to showboat. Narendra Modi will wade into a crowd if hefelt the urge to and zero in on the one person he was aiming for. His ability to sway theelectorate with a stump speech is now an acknowledged feat. Tested numerous times at thehustings, winning elections comes natural to Narendra Modi. Part of his winning formula are the slogans coined around him. From Abki Baar Modi Sarkarto Achche Dinto &Make in Indiaand Atmanirbhar Bharat Some of these slogans have turned around to bite him where it hurts most while others are like leeches bleeding his hardwon reputation all over the place.One of the more enduring slogans is &Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas", which, according to hisdetractors, doesnt actually tell the Modi story fully. Prime Minister Narendra Modi rightly orwrongly has been branded Divider-in-Chief&courtesy the ‘Time’ magazine, and the labelhas stuck to hound him. The Western media loves to hate Modi and that is also part for thecourse.On his birthday Narendra Modi should sit down with a cup of homemade ‘chai’, and with hisfavourite peacock by his side, ask himself why with the slogan Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikasbuoyed by Sabka Prayas, he is still seen as a noholds barred authoritarian figure with adivisive agenda. Maybe, it&s the RSS pracharak in his resume. His politics is regarded as notinclusive. He cannot be inclusive unless he wants to commit political hara-kiri.That being said, Modi has redeeming qualities. Without doubt he is a patriot, and anationalist. But then, so were each one of the successive prime ministers India had. MaybeModi flaunts it. Also, Modi is an excellent organiser, very organised in his ways and mannerof functioning. He plans his life in events but when he does the same for India is when heoften plunges India into chaos. Demonetization was an example of the Muhammad binTughlak in Modi. The ‘Cheetah Action Plan’ hopefully will not be.A Modi plus - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara point is that the Indian passport.

BOLLYWOOD-HOLLYWOOD Koffee with Karan season 7 Review: Anil and Varun’s sassy confessions on the couch

Agency News:Mumbai In a season that has been all frivolous but no fun, the latest episode of Koffee with Karan season 7 featuring Anil Kapoor and Varun Dhawan served not only as a saving grace but also showed what has been missing all throughout the show. The two had shot for the episode months ago, around the release of JugJugg Jeeyo, but unlike other guest combinations that have also been paired from recent releases, Varun and Anil displayed warm, genuine camaraderie, giving the interaction a homely vibe. What also elevated the episode was their closeness with host Karan Johar, which resulted in a free-flowing conversation, mostly missing from the rest of the season Both the guests also spoke with incredible

honesty, sharing their views on everything from nepotism to competition with peers. Anil Kapoor didn’t shy away from admitting he was insecure about Jackie Shroff’s early success when he started out in the 80s. Commenting on the nepotism debate, the actor described how Jackie, despite being an outsider, was getting a dream launch by then-star filmmaker Subhash Ghai, while Anil, an industry kid, was struggling with bit roles in films. While Varun called his first co-star Alia Bhatt his biggest competitor, giving perhaps the dialogue of the season-- ‘We need to accept that our actresses are bigger than our heroes.’ Both of them lent sincerity to their replies, reminding you of the remarkable, heartfelt candidness of previous seasons.

In fact, it is a tough ball game to be at work where you need to constantly reinvent yourself. Though time wise it’s not that consuming but then it does have its own cons too.” On acting front he says, “I want to be back doing acting and take up some good roles but seriously nothing worthwhile has come my way of late. I am trying my best to filter scripts that can well connect with the viewers who want me back on screen playing something really challenging and different from what I have already done,” says actor who is currently hosting DID Super Moms.
