Amid a political controversy over weekly holidays in some Jharkhand schools, a BJP Member of Parliament claimed that the state was moving towards "Islamisation".
Nishikant Dubey said he was quoting from a state government reply in the Jharkhand Assembly. "Our MLA Anant Ojha asked a question in the state Assembly. I tweeted the reply given by the state government. They admitted that over 500 government schools have Urdu in the name. Over 500 schools have Urdu prayers. Over 500 schools where hands are not folded for prayers. They have weekly holidays on Fridays instead of Sundays. The state is moving towards Islamisation," he said.
Dubey said that he would raise the issue in the Parliament if it is allowed to function. He also called for an investigation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into a "conspiracy to break the nation".
The BJP MP added, "Government of India should impose President's Rule in Jharkhand. If the entire state is moving towards Islamisation, Bangladesh refugees are being given shelter, ISI activities are increasing. What other options are there? If country doesn't survive, then nothing will survive. This is a big conspiracy to break the nation. Congress and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha are involved in this. Congress has broken the nation once, but wants to do it again."
Jharkhand officials have said that unilateral action by schools without government approval is being probed.

PMC bank fraud is pegged at ₹4,355 crore, FIR filed, SIT formed

The Mumbai Police has filed&nbsp;a case against the former bank management and promoters of&nbsp;crisis-hit real estate firm&nbsp;HDIL in the Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative Bank case. A special investigation team will now be probing the case. As per initial investigations, the bank's losses since&nbsp;2008 is pegged at ₹4,355&nbsp;crores.&nbsp;The bank's former chairman Waryam Singh, managing director Joy Thomas, promoters of HDIL -&nbsp;Sarang Wadhawan and Rakesh Wadhawan, have been named in the FIR.&nbsp;It is alleged that&nbsp;HDIL promoters colluded with the bank&nbsp;management, to draw loans from the bank. Despite non-payment, the bank officials never classified the loans as non-performing advances and&nbsp;intentionally hid the information from the&nbsp;RBI.

Members of both houses of Parliament and state legislature, belonging to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U), converged here on Tuesday to attend a meeting at his official residence, amid speculations of a major political move by the veteran leader, senior party functionaries said.
The meeting is scheduled to commence at 11 AM.
While the outcome will be known once the meeting is over, more than one of the prospective attendees denied the party’s ties with the BJP having worsened to an extent to call for a realignment.
“Our party had held many such meetings of MPs and MLAs in the past. We have been told that the current meeting has been called to discuss organisational matters. Never heard about any major crisis in the NDA," said Ram Nath Thakur, a Rajya Sabha member, low key but known to enjoy proximity to the chief minister by virtue of being the son of late Karpoori Thakur, the latter's political mentor.
Another confidant of Kumar, Leshi Singh, who is an MLA and a minister in his cabinet, said, “I was away for the last four or five days but I have an idea of how things have been. There does not seem to be any major crisis facing the NDA government. It goes without saying, though, that the party will abide by any decision taken by the chief minister”.
Meanwhile, MLAs of the opposition RJD, the largest party in the state assembly, have also been commanded by their leader Tejashwi Yadav to remain present at a meeting which will be held at his mother Rabri Devi’s Circular Road bungalow, a stone’s throw from the CM’s Anney Marg residence.
Chetan Anand, a young RJD MLA who is serving his first term, said, "Rumours of political realignment have been afloat for a couple of years. Let us not make any rash assumptions. Once the party leadership takes any decision, it will be definitely made known to all."

Bihar political churn: Nitish Kumar to hold key meeting with JDU leaders

The Delhi government has deferred the implementation of some relaxations in existing norms for procuring driving licenses, sources said.
The Transport Department of the government had passed an order stating that certain existing norms for procuring driving licenses will be eased to ensure convenience to the general public from Monday onwards.
However, sources claimed that the government will deliberate on the revised criteria for Automated Driving Test Tracks before its implementation.
Sources said that Transport Minister will once again reassess the guidelines before they are implemented.
The Delhi government had issued orders to make modifications at various automated driving test tracks, in view of the rising number of instances of people flunking their tests, officials had said on Saturday.
The Transport Department had constituted a committee to look into the matter which recommended making some modifications. These modifications were supposed to come into effect from August 8.
"There were rising instances of people failing their driving tests due to things that were not concerned with driving. For instance, the width of the last circle on which two-wheeler drivers had to do spiral maneuvering was smaller than the other two circles, which meant that for safety purposes, people had to put their feet to the ground. This meant they would flunk their test," an official had explained.

 Delhi govt defers relaxations in driving test: here's why

The Transport Department of the government had passed an order stating that certain existing norms for procuring driving licenses will be eased to ensure convenience to the general public from Monday onwards.
However, sources claimed that the government will deliberate on the revised criteria for Automated Driving Test Tracks before its implementation.
Sources said that Transport Minister will once again reassess the guidelines before they are implemented.
The Delhi government had issued orders to make modifications at various automated driving test tracks, in view of the rising number of instances of people flunking their tests, officials had said on Saturday.
The Transport Department had constituted a committee to look into the matter which recommended making some modifications. These modifications were supposed to come into effect from August 8.
"There were rising instances of people failing their driving tests due to things that were not concerned with driving. For instance, the width of the last circle on which two-wheeler drivers had to do spiral maneuvering was smaller than the other two circles, which meant that for safety purposes, people had to put their feet to the ground. This meant they would flunk their test," an official had explained.
