Telangana govt not involved in TSPSC operations: Gangula to Oppn

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana civil supplies minister Gangula Kamalakar slammed the opposition party for their remarks over the involvement of the state government in the TSPSC paper leak case.
Telangana unit Congress chief A Revanth Reddy on Sunday alleged that the personal assistant of the state minister for IT KT Rama Rao has played a key role in the question paper leak case
Condemning the statement, Kamalakar came down heavily on Revanth Reddy and said the Congress was casting aspersive charges against KTR’s personal assistant Tirupati as he belonged to a backward class.
The minister while addressing the media at Telangana Bhavan on Sunday claimed that the opposition parties were trying to defame the BRS government and urged people to turn a deaf ear to baseless allegations.
“As a responsible government, they have already got three persons involved in the case arrested and appointed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to conduct an in-depth investigation into the case,” asserted Gangula.
Recalling such instances from the past when Congress ruled the state, he asked, “Did any BJP or Congress minister resign or were they sacked by the respective government?”
He further recalled APPSC member Ripunjay Reddy was arrested in a similar paper leak case during the Rosaiah government’s regime in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh and said, “Over the years, papers of many recruitment exams were leaked in many BJP and Congress-ruled States and aspirations of unemployed youth were shattered.”
“However, K Rosaiah or the then IT minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah did not resign. In 2017 as well, the Hyderabad police arrested a woman over the UPPSC paper leak case. But neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor the then IT minister has resigned,” he added.

India 1st in South Asia on govt requests for user data from Big Tech firms

[ad_1]
New Delhi: India has been ranked first in South Asia based on government requests for user data from Big Tech companies, a report showed on Monday.
From 2013 to 2021, Meta and Google received the highest number of account requests from India, according to popular VPN service Surfshark.
India ranked seventh in all of Asia with 58.7 accounts requested per 100,000 people.
The research showed that globally, countries requested more than 6.6 million accounts combined during the 9-year period, while India requested 823,000.
The overall disclosure rate in India is 55.3 per cent, said the report.
Looking at requested accounts per population, India ranks 36th in the world based on the user accounts requested by authorities over this time period.
The number of accounts requested increased more than five times from 2013 to 2021, with 2021 seeing a year-over-year increase of around 25 per cent.
India shows the same trend, with a 1,476 per cent increase from 2013 to 2021. Requested accounts grew by 55 per cent in 2021 compared to 2020, the report showed.

In total, over 6.6 million accounts were requested in 177 countries from 2013 to 2021, with a steady increase in the latest years.
The US and the EU authorities requested data the most.
Apple complied with the most user data requests (82 per cent), compared to Meta, Google, and MicrosoftA (72 per cent, 71 per cent, and 68 per cent, respectively).
“Besides requesting data from technology companies, authorities are now exploring more ways to monitor and tackle crime through online services. For instance, the EU is considering a regulation that would require Internet service providers to detect, report, and remove abuse-related content,” said Gabriele Kaveckyte, Privacy Counsel at Surfshark.
The research analysed the just-released information on user data requests that Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft received from 177 countries’ local authorities between 2013 and 2021.

Police action against Rahul Gandhi a cowardly act by Modi govt: Maha Cong chief

[ad_1]
Mumbai: Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole has said the police action against party leader Rahul Gandhi was a “cowardly” act by the panic-stricken Narendra Modi government.
He said the prime minister’s attempt to suppress Rahul Gandhi’s voice by using the police will not succeed and Congress will continue to seek answers on the alleged scam by industrialist Gautam Adani.
Patole’s comments came on Sunday when Rahul Gandhi faced a Delhi Police team that reached his residence to inquire about his “women are still being sexually assaulted” statement made during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“I condemn the police action against Rahul Gandhi which is a cowardly act by the panic-stricken Modi regime,” Patole told reporters.
He said Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party are not scared due to the oppression unleashed by the authoritarian Modi government. “The Congress party will bring the dark truth about Adani-Modi before the country,” he added.
“PM Modi is scared because Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha exposed a multi-crore scam of Gautam Adani and also the PM’s relations with the industrialist. And because of this, the prime minister is trying to suppress Rahul Gandhi’s voice by using the police. But Rahul and the Congress party are not scared,” Patole added.
He said the Congress will continue to raise its voice along with Rahul Gandhi.
Patole said the Adani scam has put the common people of the country at risk of losing lakhs of crores of their hard-earned money put in the State Bank of India and the LIC.

“Investors have lost thousands of crores due to the collapse of Adani Group’s shares. Rahul Gandhi demanded an inquiry into the Adani Group scam through a Joint Parliamentary Committee.
“But instead of an inquiry, the government sent a notice to Rahul Gandhi for a statement he made during Bharat Jodo Yatra 45 days ago. They are now sending the police to his house for investigation,” the Congress leader said.

The report, filed on Friday, suggests that the Trump family received 17 undisclosed gifts worth $47,000 (Rs 38.8 lakh) between 2018 and 2021. While 11 gifts were for Trump, the rest were given to his wife and Former First Lady Melania Trump, daughter Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
The gifts include a Makrana marble vase worth Rs 7 lakh, a silk rug worth Rs 5.44 lakh, a bracelet for Rs 2.2 lakh, cufflinks costing Rs 1.5 lakh, and a Taj Mahal replica worth Rs 3.8 lakh, presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Former President Ram Nath Kovind, Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar, former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani as well as present CMs of Uttar Pradesh and Telangana Yogi Adityanath and K Chandrashekar Rao respectively.
Describing Modi and Trump’s relationship, the report stated, “The media reported on the “strategic friendship” between President Trump and India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, calling it a “bromance”. In February 2020, CNN summarized the President and First Lady’s “showy state visit” to India as having “plenty of impressive photos but without major announcements on trade or security.”
According to the report, official gifts from foreign countries given to the president and federal officials and their families are required to be registered under the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act. The minimum value is locked at $415 (Rs 34,254).
Gifts above $415 will automatically become a property of the States.
“The law requires that all foreign gifts over the minimal value be publicly disclosed, regardless of their final disposition. The White House is responsible for compiling and submitting to the State Department a list of gifts given to the President, the Vice-President, and their families by foreign governments,” said the report released Friday.

Pakistan govt mulling legal options to declare PTI a banned outfit

[ad_1]
Islamabad: Pakistan Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has hinted that legal proceedings could be initiated to declare Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) a banned outfit, state media reported.
Rana said that the legal team of ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was examining the matter in light of several revelations that could lead to a reference being filed against the party, Express Tribune reported.
He however clarified that it is ultimately up to the courts to officially ban a political party.
According to him, Punjab Police along with other law enforcement agencies conducted an operation against a “no-go area” in Lahore where a purported political leader had allegedly created an “atmosphere of fear”.
Rana said that the action was taken after resistance was encountered during the execution of court orders, leading to concerns of a possible terror organisation’s presence, Express Tribune reported.
“The operation resulted in the clearance of the no-go area in Zaman Park. Despite having a search warrant, officials did not enter the residential area,” he added.
The Interior Minister said that 65 people have been arrested from the outer part of the building, most of them do not belong to Punjab and their role is suspicious.
He also added that guns, petrol bomb-making equipment, slingshots and other weapons were recovered from Zaman Park, Express Tribune reported.

Govt Serves PMO, Not People: Omar Abdullah On Gujarat Conman

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Former chief minister of erstwhile J&K state and National Conference (NC) vice president, Omar Abdullah on Saturday said that the present government in J&K is not for the people, but to appease the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
Reacting to the Conman from Gujarat arrested in Srinagar, Omar while addressing a gathering in Kulgam said that it is the worthlessness of the present government, who was busy appeasing the fake conman from Gujarat.
According to the news agency KNO, he alleged that it is the fourth such incident, adding that it has been heard that three have already left for their places.
“How worthless this government is. The conman was given security, chaired meetings of officers, and also visited the Line of Control in Uri. Without confirmation from the PMO office, the administration was busy appeasing the conman. This government is not for the people, but to appease PMO,” he said, adding that this is the difference between the present government and the elected government. (KNO)
