Gujarat Cong alleges BJP bribed its MLAs, last date to file IT returns: Top stories to bring you up to date

The Congress legislators from Gujarat staying at a resort outside Bengaluru are willing to return home if state chief minister Vijay Rupani promises their safety, party spokesperson Shaktisinh Gohil said on Sunday. The party shepherded 44 lawmakers on Friday night to the holiday retreat in Karnakata after a spate of resignation of its MLAs amid allegations that the ruling BJP in Gujarat were bribing and coercing them ahead of the August 8 vice-presidential election. “We have been threatened, offered money to defect and some have done so,” Gohil, the Congress MLA for Abdasa in the Kutch region, told reporters.

Twenty-nine Indian cities and towns, including Delhi and capitals of nine states, fall under “severe” to “very severe” seismic zones, according to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). Delhi, Patna (Bihar), Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir), Kohima (Nagaland), Puducherry, Guwahati (Assam), Gangtok (Sikkim), Shimla (Himachal Pradesh), Dehradun (Uttarakhand), Imphal (Manipur) and Chandigarh fall under seismic zones IV and V. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has classified different regions in the country into zones II to V, taking into consideration earthquake records, tectonic activities and damage caused.

England ripped apart South Africa’s top order in Sunday’s final session at the Oval to bear down on a victory that would put them 2-1 up with one to play in the four-Test series. Two wickets from successive balls in Ben Stokes’ third over removed Quinton de Kock (5) and Faf du Plessis (0) and ended faint South Africa hopes of mounting a rearguard action in pursuit of their target of 492.

Although Stokes failed to record what would have been the first-ever test hat-trick at the Oval, the damage was done. Du Plessis’ wicket, lbw without playing a shot to a first-ball inswinger, was a particular blow, with South Africa needing their captain to survive at least into Monday.

चीन के फाइटर जेट्स ने अमेरिका के सर्विलांस प्लेन का रास्ता रोका

वॉशिंगटन.साउथ और ईस्ट चाइना सी को लेकर चीन और अमेरिका के बीच विवाद बढ़ता ही जा रहा है। ईस्ट चाइना सी में चीन के फाइटर्स जेट ने अमेरिका के सर्विलांस प्लेन को रास्ते में ही रोक दिया। चीन का जेट इतनी करीब आ गया था कि उनके बीच टक्कर हो सकती थी।

- घटना सोमवार की है, जब अमेरिका के एक सर्विलांस प्लेन को रास्ते में चीन के दो फाइटर्स जेट ने रोक लिया। 
- अफसरों के मुताबिक, शुरुआती जांच में पता चला है कि अमेरिकी प्लेन ईपी-3 के करीब चीन का जे-10 जेट आ गया था। 
- जानकारी के मुताबिक, चीनी जेट अमेरिकी प्लेन के बीच महज 91 मीटर की दूरी थी। ऐसे में हादसा टालने के लिए अमेरिकी प्लेन को अपना रास्ता बदला। 
- यह घटना जिस समय हुई, उस वक्त अमेरिका का सर्विलांस प्लेन अंतरराष्ट्रीय हवाई सीमा में था।
- अमेरिका के दो अफसरों ने नाम ना छापने की शर्त पर इस बारे में जानकारी दी है। 
- हालांकि, ये कोई पहला मौका नहीं है। पहले भी साउथ या ईस्ट चाइना सी में दोनों देशों के प्लेन आमने-सामने आ चुके हैं।

Sri Lanka's Cabinet "clears port deal" with China firm after security concerns addressed

Colombo: Sri Lanka`s cabinet cleared a revised agreement for its Chinese-built southern port of Hambantota on Tuesday, the government said, after terms of the first pact sparked widespread public anger in the island nation.

The port, close to the world`s busiest shipping lanes, has been mired in controversy ever since state-run China Merchants Port Holdings, which built it for USD 1.5 billion, signed an agreement taking an 80 percent stake.

The latest agreement relates to the port while the pact for the industrial zone will be handled separately, Sri Lankan officials said.

Two Sri Lankan sources familiar with the deal said the Sri Lankan Ports Authority would have the right to inspect ships entering Hambantota.

"Sri Lanka will have control over port activities including security, which various parties have raised concerns over earlier," one source told Reuters. "The agreement clearly says no military ships will be allowed in the port."

New Delhi in 2014 was alarmed when a Chinese submarine docked in Colombo, where another Chinese firm is building a USD 1.4 billion port city on reclaimed land.

India has long considered Sri Lanka, just off its southern coast, as within its sphere of influence and sought to push back against China`s expanding maritime presence. In May, Sri Lanka turned down a Chinese request to dock a submarine.

GST से ही नहीं चलेगा अमरिंदर सरकार का काम, लगेंगे नए टैक्‍स

चंडीगढ़, [मनोज त्रिपाठी]। पंजाब की कैप्‍टन अमरिंदर सिंह सरकार के लिए वित्तीय संकट गले की हड्डी बन गया है। सरकार की आस अब जीएसटी पर टिकी है, लेकिन जो हालात हैं उसमें सिर्फ जीएसटी के सहारे नैया पार नहीं लगने वाली है। ऐसे में पंजाब सरकार ने जीएसटी के दायरे से बाहर जाकर नए टैक्स लगाने की रूपरेखा तय कर रही है।

बीते दिनों, दिल्ली में मुख्यमंत्री कैप्टन अमरिंदर सिंह ने विभिन्न विभागों के प्रमुखों के साथ बैठक कर नए टैक्स लगाने को लेकर अंतिम योजना तैयार करने को क्लीन चिट दे दी है। नए टैक्स के दायरे में डाक्टरों, वकीलों, सीए सहित अन्य प्रोफेशनल्स को लाने की कवायद की जा रही है। सरकार के सामने चुनौती यह है कि जीएसटी के दायरे में जो प्रोफेशनल्स हैं, उन पर कोई और टैक्स किस तरह से लगाया जाए। सरकार वाहनों के रजिस्ट्रेशन शुल्क व लाटरी पर टैक्स को भी बढ़ा सकती है।

सलाहकारों के वेतन में बढ़ोत्तरी ने दिया मुद्दा

मुख्यमंत्री कैप्टन अमरिंदर सिंह के सलाहकारों के वेतन में की गई बढ़ोत्तरी ने विपक्ष को सरकार पर हल्ला बोलने का मौका दे दिया है। एक तरफ सूबे में वित्तीय संकट है तो दूसरी तरफ सलाहकारों का वेतन 1.25 लाख से 1.50 लाख रुपये करने के बाद नए टैक्स लगाने को लेकर विपक्ष सीधे-सीधे सरकार को कठघरे में खड़ा कर रहा है।

आम आदमी पार्टी के प्रदेश प्रधान भगवंत मान व उप प्रधान अमन अरोड़ा कहते हैं कि लोगों की जेब काटकर सलाहकारों का वेतन बढ़ाने का कोई मतलब नहीं हैं। नेता प्रतिपक्ष सुखपाल खैहरा कहते हैं जब सरकार चला ही बाबू रहे हैं तो जो वे चाहेंगे करेंगे। भाजपा के प्रदेश सचिव विनीत जोशी कहते हैं कि अकाली-भाजपा सरकार ने कभी भी लोगों पर बोझ नहीं डाला है। कांग्रेस सरकार तो अपने करीबियों को लाभ पहुंचाने के लिए सूबे को लूटने में जुट गई है।

विपक्ष ने घेरने की तैयारी शुरू की

विपक्ष ने नए टैक्स लगाने से पहले ही सरकार को इस मुद्दे पर घेरने की तैयारी शुरू कर दी है। आम आदमी पार्टी आंदोलन की धमकी दी है। भारतीय जनता पार्टी ने भी सरकार को चेतावनी दी है कि नए टैक्स की मार पंजाब को बर्दाश्त नहीं होगी। अकाली दल भी इस मुद्दे पर सरकार को कठघरे में खड़ा करने की रणनीति बनाने में जुट गया है।

Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif contests Panama charges; SC says produce money trail

Islamabad: Embattled Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday contested the graft charges against him and his family in the Supreme Court, saying the Panama probe panel did not produce any document to prove that he was the owner of the posh London flats which are at the centre of the high- profile case.

The apex court had started hearing the scandal on Monday after the JIT submitted its final report on July 10, recommending that a corruption case be file against Sharif and his family for alleged money laundering in the 1990s, when he twice served as prime minister, to purchase assets in London.

The counsel urged the court to decide it on merit and stressed that the JIT was biased and his client had done nothing illegal.

Later, finance minister Ishaq Dar's counsel began his arguments but the court adjourned the case until tomorrow.

The scandal surfaced when the Panama Papers leaks last year revealed that Sharif's sons - Hassan and Hussain - and his daughter Maryam - owned offshore companies which managed their family's properties. The assets in question include four expensive flats in Park Lane, London.

Opposition parties say the London flats were purchased through illegal money which Sharif and his family have rejected. But so far they are unable to satisfy the court about the source of money used to purchase these properties.

Cow slaughter: Calcutta Beef Dealers' Association to meet Kolkata civic body over change in timings

Kolkata: The Calcutta Beef Dealers' Association plans to meet the Kolkata civic body regarding a change in cow slaughter timings to check illegal abattoirs in the city.

"In the state-owned Tangra slaughterhouse, cows are slaughtered between 1.00 p.m. and 5.00 p.m. The meat is delivered to shops in the night... So for consumers who want to have access to fresh beef, the option before them is beef sold by illegal slaughterhouses," Mohammed Ali, President, Calcutta Beef Dealers' Association told IANS.

Ali said the body will recommend to the Kolkata Municipal Corporation that the timings be shifted to early in the morning.
"If the slaughter process takes place between 5.00 a.m. and 10.00 a.m. then the beef can be delivered during the same day to consumers. So this means, illegal abattoirs will not get a chance to ply their business," Ali said.

In addition, Ali said it would also ease the availability of beef during festive season when the demand is high.

"We will seek an appointment with KMC officials soon," he added.
