Rahul Gandhi's meeting with PM Modi divides opposition, some back out at last-minute from Congress-led protest..,,

NCP, DMK, Left parties, Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party stayed away from Congress-led delegation to President
    The fissures cropped up at the last minute after a Congress delegation met the Prime Minister separately in Parliament House on farmers' issues




The united colours of the opposition lost some sheen on the last day of the winter session as some parties blamed Congress for what they said was a self-goal when the party leaders met PM Narendra Modi seeking a loan waiver for farmers in UP.

The meeting came before a pre-scheduled programme to meet President Pranab Mukherjee jointly and hand him a memorandum that blamed the government for the near washout of the winter session.

The opposition unity among 15 parties in Parliament, though the government points out some are one-member parties, came about with TMC chief and Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee playing a lead role.

The grouping has hung together, held daily meetings and dominated the session, to take on the Centre over demonetisation and the "immense miseries" caused to the people. But on the last day of the session, the unity suffered a dent with Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's move, seen as "unwarranted" by some opposition parties, to meet the PM.

The ruffled feathers saw major parties, BSP, SP, Left, NCP, drop out of the group that met the President. TMC tried to soothe tempers till the end as it wanted to maintain the unity to take the anti-demonetisation stir to the streets.

 BSP was the first to react to the Rahul-PM meeting. Soon after learning about it, BSP chief Mayawati told a senior SP member in RS about it and both parties took a call to stay away from the delegation. With UP polls coming up, they felt the Congress move was an attempt at upstaging them.


The Left and NCP too disliked the idea and dropped out of the delegation even as leaders of all the 15 parties had signed the memorandum to the President on how the government was responsible for not letting the House run.

The two-page charter detailed how the opposition had wanted a discussion on the note ban that had hit the lives of ordinary people, but the Centre did not agree to any of the conditions. This was the third time the opposition parties met the President on the issue.


Mamata, however, continued with her efforts to keep the flock together, reaching out to BSP, SP and others after the meeting with the President.

Mamata has advanced the TMC core panel meeting to plan anti-demonetisation agitations from December 27 to 22.

World Super Series Finals: PV Sindhu beats Carolina Marin to enter semi-finals--

DUBAI: Olympic silver medallist P V Sindhu avenged her heart-breaking loss at the Rio Games to two-time World Champion Carolina Marin with a thrilling straight-game victory in a do-or-die women's singles Group B contest and sealed her place at the semi-finals of the BWF World Super Series Finals here on Friday.

In a much-anticipated contest, Sindhu came up trumps against the Olympic champion Marin, who had spoiled her gold medal dream at Rio in August. The Indian dished out an energetic performance to see off a fighting Marin 21-17 21-13 in a hard-fought battle that lasted 46 minutes.




A former World No. 1 Marin, who held a 5-2 head to head record, tried to play an aggressive fast-paced game and pumped herself with each point, letting out a war cry but Sindhu was equally up for the battle of nerves and she showed tremendous grit and nerves to emerge victories in a crucial contest.

With this win, Sindhu finished in the second place behind China's Sun Yu, who won all the three matches, in Group B.

Both the players started with an aggressive rally and even though Sindhu had a 2-0 lead early on, Marin soon turned the tables at 4-3 when the Indian hit long. The Spaniard made it 7-3 with Sindhu playing a few nervous strokes.

However, Sindhu changed her approach and got hold of her nerves and reeled off five points to lead 8-7. But again two long shots from Sindhu and Marin was 9-8 up.

The left-handed Marin soon came up with a sharp smash which an outstretched Sindhu could not connect. But the Indian immediately produced three straight points and entered the break with a slender 11-10 lead after producing a superb cross court smash which found Marin napping.

A lucky net chord helped Sindhu to lead 13-12 after the break which she swelled to 16-12 with Marin finding the net and hitting long.

The duo continued to battle hard and engaged in some fast paced rallies with each trying to outdo the other with sharp acute angled strokes. Eventually Sindhu grabbed six game point advantage when Marin missed the baseline. The Spaniard saved three points before the Indian sealed the game with a superb smash.

Marin needed medical treatment for what seemed like a bruise in her feet before the start of the second game.


The Spaniard used her deceptive returns to put Sindhu in trouble and opened up a 3-1 lead which the Indian soon erased and grabbed a 5-3 advantage after another excruciating rally.


Sindhu tried to keep her opponent away from the net and kept tossing the shuttle at the back of the court. The ploy seemed to work as Marin committed errors while trying to use deception to break the rhythm.


Sindhu was equally athletic on court as she stretched, jumped and dived all across to cover the court and entered the interval with an 11-6 lead after Marin sent the shuttle wide twice.


At 13-7, Sindhu missed the sidelines and coach Pullela Gopichand tried to calm her down. With Marin continuing to struggle with her strokes, Sindhu soon lead 17-10 and eventually grabbed a 21-13 match point advantage when Marin hit long after another exciting rally. The Indian then sealed the match as the Spaniard found the net again.

With the Aadhaar-linked al Savings Accounts with Government.;

Centre has decided to link all savings bank accounts with the Aadhaar number.
    The move will be particularly helpful for those who do not have a mobile phone.
    The sources said the measure has been approved by PM Narendra Modi.

In a major move that will give an impetus to the cashless drive at the ground level, the Centre has decided to link all savings bank accounts with the Aadhaar number for enabling digital transactions, especially at retail points.

The move will be particularly helpful for those who do not have a mobile phone , their number is estimated at 30 crore, and will be a gateway for them to be linked to the digital economy, official sources said.

The sources said the measure has been approved by PM Narendra Modi, who has now tasked finance minister Arun Jaitley and information technology minister Ravi Shankar Prasad with its implementation.

Prasad said, "The higher the linkages with the Aadhaar number, the more we have in terms of seamless digital transactions."

Sources said that of the 112 crore estimated bank accounts across the country, only around 40 crore are linked with Aadhaar. "This needs to be ramped up pretty fast."

Detailing the benefits of the move, the sources said it will enable digital transactions even when someone does not have a mobile phone. "All that is required will be devices that support Aadhaar and biometric at the retail points. If anybody needs to make a transaction even without a phone, he or she just needs to log into his account through the Aadhar biometric link and make the payment," a source said. "This will make digital transactions easy as no connectivity will be required at the consumer's end." 

The RBI has also been pushing for deployment of Aadhaar-enabled point-of-sale machines across the retail set-up. While it is pushing to make it a must for new deployments, it has given time for migration of existing machines that may be non-complaint with the Aadhaar set-up.


The government has been giving a push to Aadhaar-based linkages in view of the need to accelerate digital transactions at the rural level.

Prasad also emphasised this in a meeting with bankers. Prasad and his team of officials at the IT ministry met around 50 representatives of various

banks this week where officials were told to have helpline numbers to provide easier and trouble-free access to digital information.

The Dhruva couple gets talking about working together!

The crackling chemistry between Ram Charan and Rakul Preet Singh in Dhruva might just have been the result of intense joint workout sessions. At least that's what it seems like, when Rakul says, "When we were shooting in Kashmir for the song Choosa Choosa, Charan and I would work out together in the mornings and evenings. We would gorge on fresh fruits, especially red Kashmiri apples. Even after a whole day's shoot, we would feel detoxed. it was the best shooting schedule in the




entire film."Ask Charan about their crackling chemistry, and he says: "it's better if the audience talks about our chemistry rather than us talking about it. But, it was definitely fun working with Rakul. she is fantastic at her job. She is the most disciplined and hardworking co-star I've worked with."





It seems like the duo are part of a mutual admiration society; Rakul too considers Charan her favourite co-star. "Even though he is 'Ram Charan, the star', he's a very lovely person; a child at heart. And I've said this many a times, even to him, that he's my favourite co-star. It was a blast working with him in Bruce Lee, and that's one of the main reasons I was thrilled to team up with him the second time around for Dhruva."


Apparently, Ram Charan is a big prankster on the sets. "He's a brat! For instance, he would come to me and say, 'Rakul, today we are shooting here and this shot has to be like this', and I'd be like, 'really? nobody told me'. And it would turn out that he was just pulling a fast one! He would also make up stuff like 'we have extended schedules'. but it's hard to get mad at him," shares Rakul, who counts Pareshanura and Neethone Dance as her favourite songs from the film, besides Choosa Choosa.

Charan concurs, adding, "Pareshanura is more like Rakul's song than mine. It will feature her in a never-seen-before look. It is shot like a music video, in an unconventional way. I think the concept and output are very artistic. I was just trying to complement her in the video. I believe it stands out as the most special song in the film."

Dhruva is high on emotion, the audience will love it, says Ram Charan

Calm, composed and effortlessly confident, Ram Charan Tej shows no signs of nervousness about Dhruva, which is releasing today. "The script speaks for itself in the film. That was what appealed the most to me. It's a tight story and it kept me on the edge of the seat. And I'm certain that it will keep the audience on the edge of the seat as well," says the Mega Power Star, who is playing IPS officer Dhruva. And he reckons the character is much like him in one specific aspect: "Dhruva is the good guy. And, he is a positive guy; just like me."

Dhruva is a man on a mission, determined to destroy the evil scientist, Siddharth Abhimanyu (played by Arvind Swamy), the brain behind "a 100 criminals". The war between 'good'

represented by Dhruva and 'evil' — Siddharth Abhimanyu — drives this film, which is a remake of the Tamil blockbuster Thani Oruvan. While the original is narrated from the antagonist's point of view, Charan shares that the Telugu version is a little different. "Dhruva is not a first person narrative of Siddharth Abhimanyu. But the story still revolves around these two major characters in the film. Neither was my character elevated nor was Arvind's downplayed. The essence of the film was kept intact by Suri garu (Surender Reddy, the director), but changes were made in terms of treatment to suit the Telugu audiences," says Charan, who confesses that he "loved the film" before he was even approached for it

Ram Charan says he didn't improvise much when playing the protagonist. "The screenplay itself was so brilliant, and detailed, that following it to the T was enough."

However, he spent over a year to get into the skin of the character, literally. "The idea was to look like a tough cop, a confident one. Therefore, the ripped body. It is meant to represent the mind of the character - how he grew up; the ups and downs he went through in his life; and how he trained to become a cop. This man Dhruva, has put in so much effort to be who he is, mentally, intellectually and physically, that it needed to be reflected in his appearance."

Talking about the USP of Dhruva, Charan says, "The film is high on emotion. And it has been proved time and again, that the audience love films which are high on emotion. Dhruva will have them glued to their seats throughout and I'm sure of that." And he has a message for the audience too: "Load up on the popcorn! You don't want to miss even a minute of the two- hour-39-minute film."

Focus now on printing of Rs 500 notes: Government !.

The government on Thursday said that the new currency notes of Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 denominations have been designed indigenously with new security features.

"It is the first time that the design of notes is done indigenously+ . Earlier Rs 500 notes were all designed outside. Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 notes have been entirely designed in-house. So they are much more secure. Scope of counterfeiting is far far lower," economic affairs secretary Shaktikanta Das told reporters today.

Das said that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) was now focusing on printing of Rs 500 notes+ which would ease the liquidity situation over the next 2-3 weeks.

"The situation has considerably improved. I expect in 2-3 weeks, the situation will ease out because of the focus on printing of Rs 500 notes," he said.

Das said that initially the focus was to supply enough Rs 2,000 notes so as to replenish the demonetised notes as soon as possible.

"Initial focus was to supply Rs 2,000 notes to replenish the earlier Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. Parallely, printing of Rs 500 notes had started.

"More and more production lines have been diverted for Rs 500 notes as enough stock of Rs 2,000 notes is now there. Printing of Rs 500 notes significantly stepped up so that Rs 2,000 notes become more mobile," he said.

Das said that the process of distribution has also been further streamlined with printing presses being linked to distribution areas nearer to them.

For making adequate cash available+ in the rural areas, cooperative banks have been given enough money to provide for crop loans, he said.

The government is in touch with the RBI and National Bank For Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) to ensure district cooperative banks have enough cash, he added.

 "We are identifying rural areas from where we are getting reports of inadequate cash. Emphasis is also on greater cash to rural areas," Das said.


On the ATMs not having enough cash+ , he said that out of 2.20 lakh ATMs, over two lakh have already been recalibrated. Many a times banks prefer to give out cash through their branches to their own customers rather than putting in the ATMs that results in no-cash in the ATMs at times.

More than two lakh ATMs already recalibrated. Larger number of ATMs are working. It is not correct that only 13 per cent ATMs are working. Have advised banks to focus on loading money in ATMs also," Das said.

₹3.25 Crore In Old Notes Seized From Hotel In Delhi's Karol Bagh!

Following a tip off, a joint action of the Income Tax and the Delhi Crime Branch was conducted in a hotel in Karol Bagh here, upon which the massive amount of ₹3.25 crores was recovered in old notes.

Upon interrogation it was found that the money belongs to some Bombay based hawala operators, who have hired packaging specialists who pack these notes in such a manner that it was even undetectable by airport scanning machines.

These experts in packaging use a particular type of tape and wires which passes through X-ray also without being detected.

Meanwhile, the IT Department has seized the cash and is analyzing the mobile details which allegedly contain details of lot of other hawala operators.

The Hotel Taksh Inn was raided on upon the search of Room No. 202 and 206, five persons were caught.

Ansari Abuzar, Fazal khan, Ansari Affan from Mumbai, Ladu Ram from Rajasthan and Mahaveer Singh from Jodhpur were held.

The recovered amount was kept in different suitcases and a card board box and upon counting the amount, the total amount came up to ₹3.25 crores in demonetised currency notes.

This recent raid comes in the wake of yet another raid carried out in the national capital, where in a joint raid conducted by the Income Tax Department and the Delhi Police, ₹10 crores was recovered from a law firm in Greater Kailash area.

Acting on a tip-off, the police recovered ₹2.5 crore in new currency notes and the balance ₹7.5 crores in old currency notes from the T&T law firm owned by Rohit Tondon late on Saturday night.

"We received information which we shared with the Income Tax department and jointly raided this place. Till now, we have seized around ₹10 crore rupees out of which ₹2.5 crore are new currencies and ₹7.5 crores in old currency," Assistant Commissioner of Police, Inter-State Cell Sanjay Sehrawat told media.

The police said the currencies were kept in various bags and stored in a cupboard in a separate room.

Following the massive raids on the premises of three Chennai-based businessmen, the Income Tax Department last Saturday confirmed seizing ₹24 crores in new currency notes in Vellore, Tamil Nadu.

The latest haul is the highest number in cash recovery that has been retrieved so far in the form of new currency.

During an investigation, the IT department found out that some cash was hidden in a car in Vellore, upon which it was discovered that all currency was in the form of ₹2,000 notes in 12 boxes of ₹2 crore each.

Upon interrogation of those detained in Chennai, a breakthrough was made in the recovery of this cash wherein the IT sleuths laid a trap for the person transporting ₹24 crores in Vellore and subsequently seized the currency. Interrogation is currently underway of those who were detained in Chennai which could lead to further recoveries.

Following demonetisation, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had carried out massive raids in 50 branches of 10 banks across the nation in an attempt to keep a tab on those account holders, who deposited huge amounts at one time.

According to sources, the ED also received a strong tip off that several account holders post demonetisation deposited money and changed their black money into white through banks nationwide.

The officials also turned their attention on those accounts that have suspicious transaction post demonetisation and shining bright on their radar are those banks and branches, where maximum amount of cash in old currency has been deposited.
