Rahul lost his hopes on life

  Well it seems that the congress party president Rahul Gandhi is taking some cue from his rival in using sentiment. Readers were aware that the plane which he is traveling to Hubli has developed a technical snag in the midair. This has of course raised some eyebrows and led to a complaint by the congress party that the technical snag is `intentional' and `unexplained'. Now Rahul is using this incident to gain sympathy from his party members.  “A few days ago, we were on our way to Karnataka on an aircraft. And the aircraft suddenly came down by 8,000 feet. I thought gaadi gayi. At that moment, it struck my mind that I have to go to Kailash Mansarovar. So, I would require your leave for 10 to 15 days after the Karnataka Assembly polls,” said Mr. Gandhi addressing his party members at the Jan Aakrosh ralley at Delhi.

Vijay Mallya might be back to India

The king of good times Vijay Mallya seems to have suffered a setback. A court in UK has accepted all the evidence produced by the CBI to extradite Mallya.

Tripura CM comments on Diana Hayden

After his much roasted `internet in Mahabharata’ era, Tripura CM Biplab Deb has produced more juice for the media. This was only two days after the Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned his cadres not to offer “masala” to media by making irresponsible statements. ``Diana Hayden does not deserve to win the Miss World crown. It was part of a plan which was hatched keeping in mind, the interests of the international market. But Aishwarya Rai’s victory was well deserved,’’ were the valuable observations of the CM. And that was not the end of it- ``Indian women did not use cosmetics or shampoo. We washed our hair with ‘methi’ water to prevent hairfall and bathed with mud,’’ said honourable minister.

Murder attempt against Rahul Gandhi?

  Though this is not exactly the words used by the congress party, it has used `intentional tampering’ of an aircraft that was carrying the congress president. It all started on yesterday morning when Rahul Gandhi has entered a private flight along with his attendants to reach Hubli. But it has not proved to be an ordinary journey. “At around 10:45 am, the aircraft suddenly tilted heavily on the left side and the altitude dipped steeply, combined with violent shuddering of the aircraft body… The weather outside was sunny, normal and not windy… A clanking noise was clearly audible from one side of the plane throughout the shuddering of the aircraft body. It was also learnt that the autopilot of the aircraft was not functioning,” said a complaint registered by congress party after the incident. The complaint sought the police to probe into “unexplained technical failures”.

90 lakh Aadhar details leaked in AP

  Here is another nightmare situation for the Aadhar card holders. Though the government is relentlessly reiterating that the Aadhar data is highly secured... several breaches are coming right from the websites of the government. First it was the State Housing Corporation of AP that made the data of 1.3 lakh Aadhar card holders open for public. And that was just a sample! Yesterday a government portal dealing with MGNREGA scheme has made open the details of 89 lakh citizens. The details included bank account numbers, ration card numbers, caste and other crucial information of the card holders. Now it would be interesting to hear the assurance of government over the security of Aadhar card data.

Aadhar not mandatory for Mobile – Supreme

  Have you ever received a message from your telecom service provider, threatening to dissolve your connection if you haven’t linked it with Aadhar! Did the message mention that it was the `Supreme Court’ which has mandated the linkage? Well if that is the case- we have been fooled by those companies. Yesterday, the Supreme Court has vehemently denied to have served such an order. It has merely said that `Aadhar Card’ can be treated as one of documents that can be used for the identity of the subscriber. It has reiterated that the government should not force the citizens to link their Aadhar card with mobiles and bank accounts until the judgement gets delivered on the issue.

Gambhir to leave IPL captaincy and salary

  Gautam Gambhir has delivered a shocker to his fans. He has decided to step down from the captaincy of the franchise. He also denied taking his 2.8 crore salary citing his poor performance. It could probably be the first time in the history of IPL that a player has denied to take his salary. Delhi Daredevils has lost five matches out of six and stood on the last step of the table. Gambhir himself is not in a great form with only 85 runs from all the matches. Delhi Daredevils couldn’t even chase a decent target of 143 made by Punjab XI. Now that Gambhir has owned the responsibility for the poor run, Mumbai batsman Shreyas Iyer will take over the captaincy for the remaining eight matches.

60000 Indians to lose jobs in US

The US `Citizenship and Immigration Services’ has drafted a policy to terminate work permits granted to H-4 visa holders. The H-4 visa is granted to the spouses of professionals working in the US on H-1B visa. This would roughly affect 1,00,000 people and 60 percent are estimated to be Indians. The decision was taken as the part of Trump’s America First policy which intends to give first priority to the Americans.

Congress has blood of Muslims on hand

  Senior Congress party leader Salman Khurshid has irked his own cadre by saying that his party’s hands are stained “with the blood of Muslims”. He has been interacting with the students of Aligarh Muslim University. Replying to the question regarding the communal riots during the congress rule- Salman Khurshid has admitted “Let me accept that we have the blood of Muslims on our hands.” Though Khurshid has been trying to be too humble to accept the facts, his statement would certainly favour the ruling BJP in the coming elections.
