You thought Zee News was ‘brilliant’ with Rs 2,000 chip scoop, watch Aaj Tak journalists here

0

We all know just how brilliant Zee News was with its ‘scoop’ on nano chip supposedly embedded in new Rs 2,000 note.

The channel’s editor, Sudhir Chaudhary, even dedicated a special segment on his prime time show DNA to ‘inform’ his audience about this revolutionary albeit imaginary innovation by the RBI.

 

Dismissing the report as “figments of imagination,” the RBI spokesperson Aplana Killawala told News18, “Such a technology does not exist at the moment in the world, then how can we introduce such a feature?”
But this didn’t stop the channel from becoming a subject of social media ridicule.

Now a new video of journalists from Zee’s rival channel, Aaj Tak, passionately shedding light on the ground-breaking technology- once again imaginary- invented by the central government has gone viral.

 

In the video, a group of Aaj Tak journalists can be seen forming a huddle with Shweta Singh, the channel’s lead anchor, ‘enlightening’ her in-house audience about the latest innovation related to Rs 2,000 note.

Singh, who wins the day for her passion, tells her ‘audience,’ “…There are three things we know (on nano GPS chip in Rs 2,000). The new note has nano technology GPS. If there are too many notes lying together at one place, then not only will the law enforcing agencies be alerted about it but even the Income Tax department will receive a signal. Because the note will transmit a signal directly to satellite, which will reach there so that the money can be recovered.”

Singh continues further as her captive audience find themselves completely awe-struck by what she has to say.

She adds, “(Though)nothing will happen when the notes are stored in banks. The notes can be found even if they are buried 120 meters below the earth.”

This is when an interjection takes place from a member of Singh’s audience.

The lady member of the audience agrees with Singh to say, ‘This is very good. Because as soon as Modi made the announcement, people began suspecting that the new Rs 2,000 notes will give rise to black money. But this( nano GPS) technology is…”

आप लाइन में लगे रहिए, सरकार ने विजय माल्या का 1200 करोड़ का लोन माफ कर दिया

नई दिल्ली। आप लगे रहिए लाइन में। आज की ताज़ा खबर यह है कि "स्टेट बैंक ऑफ इंडिया" ने विजय माल्या की किंगफ़िशर एयरलाइंस को दिए 1201 करोड़ रुपए के लोन को अपने खाते से हटा दिया है। उसकी अब कभी वसूली नहीं होगी। ऐसे कुल 7,000 करोड़ रुपए के लोन माफ़ किए गए हैं। 

Malya

डीएनए में छपी खबर के अनुसार, एसबीआई ने अपने टॉप 100 डिफॉल्टर्स में से 63 लोगों के सात हजार करोड़ रुपए से अधिक के लोन को अपनी बैलेंस शीट से हटा दिया है। ऐसा एसबीआई ने अपनी बकाया राशि को मृत मानकर किया है। 

ऐसा लगता है कि एसबीआई ने यह जानबूझकर किया है। डीएनए के दस्तावेजों के अनुसार, एसबीआई की बैलेंस शीट में 63 खाताधारकों के नाम पूरी तरह से लिेखे हैं जबकि 31 खाताधारकों के नाम आंशिक रूप से लिखे हैं और छ: खाताधारकों के नाम का मेंसन नहीं है। 30 जून 2016 को एसबीआई की बैलेंस शीट में 48000 करोड़ रुपए खराब लोन के रूप में दर्ज था। हालांकि बैलेंस शीट में इसके लिखने के समय की तारीख मेंसन नहीं थी।

एक तरफ जहां केंद्र सरकार द्वारा बड़े नोट बंद किए जाने की वजह से देश की जनता बैंकों के सामने लाइन लगाकर खड़ी है। किसी के बच्चे बिना पैसे दूध से तड़प रहे हैं तो कोई लाइन में लगे-लगे दम तोड़ रहा है। वहीं विजय माल्या जैसे बड़े डिफॉल्टर्स के लोन माफ कर उन्हें राहत दी जा रही है।

विजय माल्या के 1201 करोड़ के अलावा केएस ऑयल का 596 करोड़, सूर्या फार्मेसियुटिकल का 526 करोड़, जेट पॉवर का 400 करोड़, साई इंफो सिस्टम का 376 करोड़ के लोन की सूची भी एसबीआई ने अपनी बैलेंस शीट से हटा दी है। 
आपको बता दें कि अरुंधति भट्टाचार्य को अक्टूबर 2017 तक एसबीआई चीफ के तौर पर बनी रहेंगी। इसी साल उन्हें यह एक्सटेंसन मिला है।

Lawmakers said the president-elect's selection of his campaign chairman as his chief strategist ’sends the wrong message’ to harassers of minority communities.

US: Donald Trump urged to set aside appointment of Stephen Bannon as senior White House staff
 

United States president-elect Donald Trump has been urged to rescind the appointment of far-right, controversial media figure Stephen K Bannon as his chief adviser and strategist at the White House. “If Trump is serious about seeking unity, the first thing he should do is rescind his appointment of Steve Bannon,” said Democratic Senator Harry Reid.

The lawmaker made the appeal on Tuesday at the Senate, adding that incidents of hate crimes had spiked since the Republican defeated his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the US presidential elections on November 8. “The man who lost the popular vote by two million votes is now the president-elect,” Reid said, mentioning examples of Pakistani-American doctors he knew who had been harassed.

Democratic Congressman Michael Doyle also wrote to the president-elect on his appointment of Bannon to the senior White House post. “Mr Bannon’s appointment sends the wrong message to people who have engaged in those types of activities [harassment and intimidation], indicating that they will not only be tolerated, but endorsed by your administration,” Doyle said.

While another Democratic congressman, Frank Pallone, accused Trump of failing the key task of appointing competent White House staff, Senator Sherrod Brown said, “Bannon has promoted anti-Semitic, racist, misogynistic and dangerous views that have emboldened white nationalist forces,” calling for his appointment to be cancelled. According to Senator Dianne Feinstein, “Someone known for belittling minorities, immigrants and women has no place advising the president.”

Muslims in India must raise issues of violations on Hindus in Pakistan: Ghulam Nabi Azad

0

Muslims in India should speak out against any act of violence on Hindus committed by members of the majority population in Islamic countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said on Tuesday.

Ghulam Nabi Azad

He was a addressing a gathering in New Delhi at a seminar on — Role of Muslim Youth in Strengthening Democracy — organised by National Tricolour Association of India, a non-profit organisation.

“There have been cases of violence against Muslims, from (Mohammad) Akhlaq’s lynching in Dadri to two boys in Jharkhand who were hung from a tree.”

“And, there has never been a lack of expression of secularism from Hindus in our country. You see on television, how they (Hindus) strip RSS and BJP bare, whenever such incidents happen. But, why we (Muslims) don’t raise issues when there are violations against Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh,” he asked.

 

In his address, Azad also hit out at the Centre saying, “democracy has ceased to exist” in the country ever since the NDA government came to power.

He added that if the Muslims in India start speaking out against acts of such violence in the neighbouring countries then, “BJP’s anti-Muslim edge will be blunted.”

Two other scholars, who also spoke at the seminar held at the India Islamic Centre, underlined the “silence” of the country’s Muslim community in hours of violence in “India’s neighbourhood”.

“We hear cases of violence meted out to our Hindu brothers in Bangladesh, or of Hindu temples being razed or desecrated. But, do we (Muslims) speak out on such brazen acts of violations? We must speak out against injustice, just as we expect our majority Hindu brothers to stand by us in India,” they said.

Azad also hit out at the government over the demonetisation issue saying, “the move has driven Indians crazy in the name of black money.”

He also took a dig at the media and Prime Minister Modi, saying, “now it’s all Modi in newspapers and on TV channels, the Opposition cannot be seen.”

“The time of free and impartial media is no more. Now, you open, newspapers, and you see 10-20 pictures of Modi,” he alleged.
