Known for speaking his mind even at the cost of facing social media trolls, actor Naseeruddin Shah believes that the mood on-screen only reflects ground reality.
In an interview to The Indian Express, Shah said that 'Muslim hating has become fashionable even among educated people' and added that the BJP is 'cleverly tapping' into this sentiment to get votes.
The veteran actor also had strong words for the Election Commission. He said that the poll panel is spineless and called it a mute spectator.
Talking about politicians seeking votes in the name of religion, Shah said that if a Muslim leader urged people to vote in the name of Allah, there would be 'utter devastation'.
He, however, sees hope. Shah said that Prime Minister Modi loses inspite of playing the divisive card and that gives him hope that the hate will one day wear-off &nbsp;

Shah will hold several rounds of security meetings to assess the situation and plan further steps to restore normalcy, they said.

Congress and BJP spar over Nehru: tale of two images

 India got a new Parliament on Sunday but Congress and BJP continued their age-old fight over Jawaharlal Nehru.

India got a new Parliament on Sunday but Congress and BJP continued their age-old fight over Jawaharlal Nehru.&nbsp;
The Congress posted a photograph of a miniature image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi standing next to a larger-than-life image of Nehru and looking up to him. The text with the post read - 'No matter how hard you try'.&nbsp;
The BJP in reply tweaked the photograph into two parts - 'Reel' and 'Real'. While the 'Reel' portion showed the larger-than-life image of Nehru used by Congress, in the 'Real' section, BJP used a miniature image of the country's first PM next to a camera, hinting that his stature in real life is not large as Congress portrays. The text with the post read - 'Truth of Nehru'.&nbsp;

Manipur unrest: CM Biren Singh says 40 militants killed in separate encounters

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Sunday said nearly 40 armed militants involved in torching houses and firing at civilians have been killed by security forces 

The CM said the latest round of &ldquo;conflict is not between communities but between Kuki militants and security forces&rdquo;.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Sunday said nearly 40 armed militants involved in torching houses and firing at civilians have been killed by security forces since they began an operation to bring peace to the northeastern state beset by ethnic rioting.
Singh&rsquo;s comments came in the backdrop of fresh clashes breaking out between armed groups and security forces at over half a dozen places across Manipur on Sunday. The Chief Minister who was interacting with the media persons at the state secretariat, claimed the latest round of &ldquo;conflict is not between communities but between Kuki militants and security forces&rdquo;.
Singh also said that there had been cases of armed militants firing at civilians with AK-47s, M-16 and sniper rifles. These militants were targeted by security forces in counter-attacks.
The CM appealed to the public not to hinder the movement of security personnel and urged them to have "faith in the government and support the security forces." &ldquo;We have experienced hardship for so long and we will never allow the state to disintegrate," Singh said.
He said many Kuki militants involved in killing civilians and destroying property and torching houses have been captured by the Jat regiment.
The latest clashes which erupted in the early hours of Sunday began after the army commenced combing operations to de-arm communities in order to bring peace, officials said.
The house of BJP MLA Khwairakpam Raghumani Singh at Uripok in Imphal West was vandalised and his two vehicles have been set on fire, a top security official told PTI.
He said that clashes broke out in the early hours of the morning at several places in different districts surrounding the Imphal Valley both between militant groups and security forces as well as between rival ethnic militant groups.
"According to our information, firing has been reported from Sugnu in Kakching, Kangvi in Churachandpur, Kangchup in Imphal West, Sagolmang in Imphal East, Nungoipokpi in Bishenpur, Khurkhul in Imphal West and YKPI in Kangpokpi," the official said.
New roadblocks have also sprung up in many areas manned by women which have delayed army columns on patrol. There was also an unconfirmed report of arms being looted from Kakching police station by a Meitei group, the official said.
Ethnic clashes which have claimed over 75 lives first broke out in Manipur after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts on May 3 to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.
The violence was preceded by tension over the eviction of Kuki villagers from reserve forest land, which had led to a series of smaller agitations.
Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipur's population and live mostly in the Imphal Valley. Tribal Nagas and Kukis constitute another 40 per cent of the population and reside in the hill districts.
Around 140 columns of the Indian Army and Assam Rifles, comprising over 10,000 personnel, besides those from other paramilitary forces had to be deployed to bring back normalcy in the Northeastern state.&nbsp;

US to relax COVID testing rules for travellers from China

The restrictions were put in place on December 28 and took effect on January 5 amid a surge in infections in China.

&nbsp;The Biden administration is preparing to relax COVID-19 testing restrictions for travellers from China as soon as Friday, according to two people familiar with the decision.
The people, who were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the administration has decided to roll back the testing requirements as cases, hospitalizations and deaths are declining in China and the US has gathered better information about the surge.
The restrictions were put in place on December 28 and took effect on January 5 amid a surge in infections in China after the nation sharply eased pandemic restrictions and as US health officials expressed concerns that their Chinese counterparts were not being truthful to the world about the true number of infections and deaths.
At the time, US officials also said the restriction was necessary to protect US citizens and communities because there was a lack of transparency from the Chinese government "about the size of the surge or the variants that were circulating within" China.&nbsp;

The unemployment rate in July-September 2022 and October-December 2022 was 7.2 per cent only. It was 7.6 per cent in April-June 2022

Unemployment in India: rate dips to 6.8% in January-March 2023 shows govt survey	

The unemployment rate in July-September 2022 and October-December 2022 was 7.2 per cent only. It was 7.6 per cent in April-June 2022

The unemployment rate for persons aged 15 years and above in urban areas declined to 6.8 per cent during January-March 2023 from 8.2 per cent a year ago, the National Sample Survey Survey (NSSO) showed.
Joblessness or unemployment rate is defined as the percentage of unemployed persons in the labour force.
Joblessness was high in January-March 2022, mainly due to the staggering impact of Covid-related restrictions in the country.
The unemployment rate in July-September 2022 and October-December 2022 was 7.2 per cent only. It was 7.6 per cent in April-June 2022.
The unemployment rate (UR) for persons aged 15 years and above in April-June 2022 was 7.6 per cent in urban areas, the 18th Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) showed.
In January-March 2022, the unemployment rate was 8.2 per cent.
It also showed that the unemployment rate among females (aged 15 years and above) in urban areas declined to 9.2 per cent in January-March 2023 from 10.1 per cent in the same quarter a year ago. It was 9.6 per cent in October-December 2022, 9.4 per cent in July-September 2022 and 9.5 per cent in April-June 2022.
Among males, the unemployment rate in urban areas dipped to six per cent in January-March 2023 compared to 7.7 per cent in the same quarter a year ago. It was 6.5 per cent in October-December 2022, 6.6 per cent in July-September 2022 and 7.1 per cent in April-June 2022.
Labour force participation rate in CWS (Current Weekly Status) in urban areas for persons aged 15 years and above increased to 48.5 per cent in the January-March quarter of 2023, from 47.3 per cent in the same period a year ago. It was 48.2 per cent in October-December 2022, 47.9 per cent in July-September 2022 and 47.5 per cent in April-June 2022.
Labour force refers to the part of the population, which supplies or offers to supply labour for pursuing economic activities for the production of goods and services and, therefore, includes both employed and unemployed persons.
NSSO launched PLFS in April 2017. On the basis of PLFS, a quarterly bulletin is brought out giving estimates of labour force indicators namely unemployment rate, Worker Population Ratio (WPR), Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR), distribution of workers by broad status in employment and industry of work in CWS.
The estimates of unemployed persons in CWS give an average picture of unemployment in a short span of seven days during the survey period. In the CWS approach, a person is considered unemployed if he/she did not work even for one hour on any day during the week but sought or was available for work at least for one hour on any day during the period.
Labour force, according to CWS, is the number of persons either employed or unemployed on average in a week preceding the date of the survey. LFPR is defined as the percentage of the population in the labour force.
The WPR (in per cent) in CWS in urban areas for persons aged 15 years and above stood at 45.2 per cent in January-March 2023, up from 43.4 per cent in the same period a year ago. It was 44.7 per cent in October-December 2022, 44.5 per cent in July-September 2022 and 43.9 per cent in April-June, 2022.
The present quarterly bulletin is the eighteenth in the series for the quarter January-March 2023.&nbsp;
