Addressing a program in Vigyan Bhawan on Saturday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Saturday, said that the issue of three divorces was not brought to the purview of politics.

PM Modi said that the issue of three divorces should not be seen from political spectacles.

He said that I hope people will come forward from Muslim society and will get the way for the three Muslim women struggling with a divorce crisis.

He said that it is necessary to solve the problem. The Muslim women, who are undergoing three divorce crisis, will get rid of it. Enlightened Muslims of the country should take action for this. The coming generation will get strength from it.

The PM said that India will show the way to tackle the three divorces not only of Muslim country but of the world.

He said that there should be no arrangement like untouchables, caste system in the country. Everyone should be developed without discrimination in the society, then everyone can be developed.

Banks can not refuse to take notes of dirty or written notes. The Reserve Bank of India has warned the banks that action will be taken against refusing to take notes. In this connection, more than 250 complaints have come from Kanpur alone.

Reserve Bank of India has said that banks can not stop customers from filing dirty or written notes. Such notes should be considered 'useless notes' and should work under RBI's 'Clean Note Policy'.

The central bank clarified that the 'useless note' does not mean that the currency is out of the currency. There were frequent complaints coming from the Reserve Bank that the banks are refusing to take such notes of Rs 500 and Rs 2000, in which something has been written or which has been painted or the notes which have been discarded. Cashiers sitting at the bank counter argued that RBI has stopped taking such notes.

While giving a clarification on this, the RBI said that no instructions have been given to the banks regarding not depositing written or filthy notes. The banks were told that their staff did not write anything on the notes because most of the complaints were made by the banking staff. Also, these instructions have also been given that bad notes are not to be re-released.

RBI has clearly said that any bank which will come out in changing the bad note, will be penalized.

Uttar Pradesh former Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav has expressed dissatisfaction over the journalists. When a journalist questioned him on the ongoing civil war in the socialist family, he said that you should come one day in May. We will answer all of your questions, since then you will not ask any questions on the fight in the family again.

Apart from this, Akhilesh also quipped the journalist's T-shirt and said that you are new now. After this, he said in an uncomfortable remark that the country was wasting itself due to people like you.

In fact, his uncle Shivpal Yadav had said a few days ago that according to his promise Akhilesh should now give the post of party president to the Netaji, ie Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Akhilesh Yadav has targeted the state's Yogi Aditya Nath government too. He said that the incidents of Agra and Saharanpur are not visible to the BJP government. Akhilesh said that even after the gangrape in Allahabad, the girls were killed by the miscreants, the government is sitting on their hands on the hand.

He alleged that during his reign, falsehoods were bruised in the media.

Akhilesh Yadav was speaking in a program under the membership drive of Samajvadi Party in Lucknow. On this occasion Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan got primary membership of the party.

Akhilesh Yadav, while targeting the state BJP government, said that nowadays, the crowd of saffron clad people has increased in the police stations.

The former Chief Minister said on the Yogi Government to examine the expressway that who will fly on expressway, will vote for the Samajvadi Party.

He said that when will Yogi Ji do good to us?

The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered an FIR against his former director Ranjit Sinha on Tuesday. Ranjit Sinha is accused of influencing the investigation of the coal scam during his tenure.

This is the second time in CBI history when former CBI director is facing criminal charges imposed by his own investigating agency.

In February this year, the CBI filed an FIR against former director AP Singh. He was accused of helping meat exporter Moin Qureshi, the accused of money laundering.
 
The Supreme Court had entrusted CBI Special Director ML Sharma to investigate the matter. Ranjit Sinha was the CBI director from 2012 to 2014 and during this time he met the accused in the coal scam, which included some politicians and some businessmen. This meeting was held at Ranjit Sinha's official residence.
 
In July 2015, the Supreme Court had entrusted the investigation to ML Sharma against Ranjit Sinha on the complaint of lawyer Prashant Bhushan. During the hearing of this case, Prashant Bhushan presented a Visitors Diary in the court.

Sources said that after ordering the court inquiry Ranjit Sinha reached the CBI Headquarters in the last week of March. For interrogation of Ranjit Sinha, the officers of the Joint Director level officer and an SP level officer of the CBI's Special Investigation Team (SIT) were involved in the investigation.

The Supreme Court had ordered an inquiry against Ranjit Sinha on January 23 this year and had instructed to constitute SIT. Not only this, the Supreme Court had ordered Alok Verma to include his favorite officers in the investigation.

Official sources said that AK Sharma is the joint director of CBI at the time. He is monitoring daily investigations in this matter.

In this matter, Ranjit Sinha said that the Supreme Court has ordered an inquiry and I can not say anything in this matter. He said that he respected the court, so no one can react in this matter.
 
ML Sharma's committee formed by the Supreme Court had found in the investigation that at first glance, it seems that Ranjit Sinha had tried to influence the investigations of coal mine allocation cases. He also met the accused many times at his residence.

The ML Sharma Committee dubbed the Visitors' Diary of Ranjit Sinha's official residence as correct. It was said in the report that it is possible from these interventions that Ranjit Sinha has tried to influence the investigation work.

The Supreme Court cited his order on May 14, 2015, instructing to investigate the allegation of misuse of the post held on Ranjit Sinha. In this order, the court had said that in the absence of the investigating officer or the investigating team, the meeting of Ranjit Sinha with the accused of the coal block allocation case is totally inappropriate. The Supreme Court had asked ML Sharma to investigate the conduct of Ranjit Sinha in the order of May 14, 2015.

On Monday, around 300 Naxalites attacked the troop of CRPF in Sukma district of Chhattisgarh. In it, 25 CRPF personnel were martyred and six soldiers are still seriously injured.

Not only this, the Naxalites took away many arms of the soldiers.

Director General of the Naxal Operation of Chhattisgarh Police, DM Awasthi has told the media that the encounter between the CRPF and the Maoists lasted for about three hours and the soldiers faced it bravely.

He said that 100 soldiers of the 74th Battalion of CRPF were engaged in the security of construction work. When the Maoists attacked the troop of CRPF, 38 common people were present there, but no civilian citizen has died in this Naxal attack. The soldiers saved the lives of ordinary citizens while confronting the Maoists with bravery.

He told that the Maoists suddenly started firing on the troop of CRPF. During this, a group of 25 soldiers were sitting to eat food and these soldiers were martyred during this attack of Maoists. He said that this important work of road construction is going on in southern Bastar.

Awasthi told that the rocket launcher and IED have not been used during this attack. They said that the Naxalites were racking the troop of CRPF for a week. The Naxals knew what the CRPF team did.

Awasthi told that the Maoists knew where and when to attack?

According to sources, the total number of 22 arms have disappeared of soldiers. So far, 12 AK-47 (including five underbearal grenade launchers), four AKM (another AK-47 serial rifle), two INSAS LMG (Light machine gun) and three INSAS rifles have been reported. Five wireless sets of soldiers, two binoculars, 22 bulletproof jackets and a deep search metal detector (DSMD) have also disappeared. Apart from this, all the weapons magazines are also reported in large quantities.

The Supreme Court has issued a major decision regarding the job in the reserved category. The court said that the candidate of the reserved category will get a job in the reserved category, even if he has not achieved more marks than the general category candidates.

The bench of Justice R Bhanumati and Justice AM Khanwilkar said that once the applicant has applied in the reserved category and after getting the other concession, the candidate will be entitled to the job only for the reserved category. It can not be adjusted in the general category.

The bench of the Supreme Court gave this decision in the case of the female candidate of the reserved category. The petitioner had approached the court that she should be given a job in the general category as she has secured more marks than the general category candidates in the written examination.

The court said that the DOPT's July 1, 1999 rules of proceedings and clear in the OM, the SC / ST and OBC candidate, who have been selected on the basis of their merit, will not be adjusted in the reserved category.

In the same way when SC / ST and OBC candidates are given exemptions such as age limit, experience, educational qualification, more opportunities for written examination, they will be considered for reserved vacancies only. Such candidates will be treated as unavailable for unreserved vacancies.

The petitioner had applied in the OBC category with a rebate of age limit. She also gave interviews in the OBC category. Therefore, she can not claim the right of appointment in the general category.

For example, if a candidate declares himself in the reserved category while filling the application and takes advantage of it. But later, if its points are equal or more than the general category cutoff, then its selection will be for reserved seats only. Under this, it will not get general category seats.

Deepa PV applied to the OBC category for the Lab Assistant Grade-II in the Indian Export Inspection Council under the Ministry of Commerce. She got 82 points in the examination for this. In OBC category, 11 people were called for interviewing her. But Serena Joseph, who scored 93 points in this class, was chosen.

As far as the general category was concerned, the minimum cutoff score was 70. But no candidate could bring these marks. Deepa filed a petition in the High Court for adjusting to this category, but the High Court dismissed it. After this, Deepa reached the Supreme Court.

A reconciliation roadmap between the two factions in the AIADMK after the death of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha has almost become ready. Under this, O Panneerselvam can be made the Chief Minister of the state and current Chief Minister E K Palaniswamy can be made general secretary of the party instead of Shashikala.

According to the news published in an English newspaper, a senior leader from AIADMK says that the merger agreement has been done, now a formal negotiation will be initiated for the final seal on the verdict and the announcement between the senior leaders of two factions. PalaniSwami will vacate CM's chair for Panneerselvam and will become party chief.

He said that the income tax department was raided on the premises of Health Minister C. Vijay Bhaskar, probably they could be removed from the cabinet. One or two faces can be included in the cabinet with former minister and legislator Senthil Balaji from the southern region of the state.

Party sources say that in the new cabinet, Senthil Balaji can be taken to Bhaskar's place.

It is worth mentioning that Senthil Balaji had on Friday announced a hunger strike against Vijay Bhaskar and Deputy Lok Sabha Speaker M Thambidurai. They are accused of delaying the construction of a medical college in Karur, Jayalalitha had announced this medical college.

It is worth mentioning that under the efforts of merger of AIADMK factions, the chief minister Palaniswamy-led faction had announced the formation of a committee on Friday and the opposition O Panneerselvam faction responded by saying that its committee will be constituted soon.

Rajya Sabha member R. Vaithilingam will be presided over by the committee formed by Palaniswamy and there is a possibility of some ministers being included in it.

Panneerselvam's ally K P Munusami told reporters that keeping in view the welfare of party supporters and people, we are also going to set up a committee.

Earlier on Thursday, the stalemate was triggered when the O Panneerselvam faction had formally laid down the party's general secretary VK Shashikala and the deputy general secretary TTV Dinakaran to remove from the party. He had also demanded a CBI probe into the circumstances related to the demise of former Chief Minister Jayalalitha on December 5 last year.

While sticking to his stance for the merger talks, the Panneerselvam faction had demanded that Palaniswamy-led faction, formally dismiss the 30 other members of her/his family, apart from Shashikala and Dinakaran, with the party.

The Tamil Nadu farmer protests in Jantar Mantar took a shocking turn on Saturday after the farmers stated to drink urine to mark their protest. The farmers have been protesting for more than a month so as to seek a relief package from the Centre as their crops were ruined by a severe drought.

The farmers are demanding a relief package of Rs. 40,000 crores since March 14 which includes unification of water bodies, setting up of a Cauvery Management Board and a 50 percent raise in profit margin for the farmers.

State President of the National South Indian River Linking Formers Association P Ayyakanku said that water is not available for drinking in Tamil Nadu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is ignoring our thirst.

From the wearing of human skull in the neck to attract attention of the Modi government and the administration towards its downfall, these farmers have protested by eating sambhar-rice and dead snake-rats on the road.

These farmers have also become bare. The farmers had performed bare on the road in front of the Prime Minister's Office in South Block.
