BIG update: Salman Khan stops signing films, know why

[ad_1]
Mumbai: Salman Khan, Bollywood’s favourite “Bhaijaan,” is known for his successful career in the entertainment industry. However, his most recent release, ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan,’ is struggling at the box office, leaving the actor in a reflective mood.
Despite its holiday release, the film failed to create wonders at box office, prompting Salman to question his project selection.
And now, latest news has it that Salman has stopped signing new project sparking speculations about his retirement. According to a report in ETimes, Salman has been offered six new projects, but the actor is taking a break and will wait until the release of ‘Tiger 3’ in November to gauge public reaction before signing anything new. As a result of this news, Salman’s fans may miss out on a new film for Eid 2024.

Fans are looking forward to Salman’s upcoming project, ‘Tiger 3,’ directed by Maneesh Sharma and starring Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan. The star hopes that the success of this film will give him more confidence in choosing future projects.
The ‘Dabangg’ actor has recently been in the news for receiving various death threats. The actor had opened up about the same in a recent show and said, “Security is better than insecurity. Yes, security is there. Now it is not possible to ride a bicycle on the road and go alone anywhere. And more than that, now I have this problem that when I am in traffic, then there is so much security, vehicles creating inconvenience to other people. They also give me a look. And my poor fans. There is a serious threat that’s why there is security.”
Despite the difficulties, Salman Khan’s stardom remains unaffected, and his fans eagerly await his next move. The Bollywood superstar has always been a force to be reckoned with in the industry, and his upcoming projects will undoubtedly excite his fans to new heights.

ULFA pro-talk leader welcomes possibility of signing peace agreement

[ad_1]
Guwahati: Welcoming the possibility of signing a peace agreement between the government and the ULFA (pro-talk), its leader Anup Chetia on Thursday said the pact can be inked if the Centre accepts its demands like land rights for the indigenous Assamese people.
Chetia, who is the general secretary of the ULFA, said that they recently received a draft of the agreement but the matter was yet to be discussed in various fora of the organisation.
His statement came hours after Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced in New Delhi that there was a possibility of signing a peace agreement with the group in May.

“The chief minister has taken an initiative for an agreement with the pro-talk ULFA and we welcome it But the entire matter lies in the hands of the Central government.
“If the centre accepts our various demands, including the constitutional, political and land rights of the indigenous Assamese population, then the agreement can be signed,” Chetia told reporters.
A draft of the agreement has been sent to the organisation just before the Rongali Bihu festival earlier this month.
“The matter has been discussed in the central committee. But the working committee and the general council will discuss it before a final decision on the draft can be taken,” Chetia, a founding member of the outfit, said.
Asked about the possibility of peace talks with the ULFA (Independent), led by hardliner Paresh Barua, he said that he will welcome it as it will lead to lasting peace in Assam.

The chief minister, after taking oath on May 10, had appealed to the ULFA(I) to come forward for peace talks and resolve the decades-old insurgency problem in the state. However, not much progress has been made in this direction.
On several occasions, Sarma has mentioned that the ULFA(I) talks about ‘sovereignty’ which he, as the chief minister, cannot constitutionally negotiate.
Chetia urged Sarma to take the right steps in this direction as he is also an Assamese and the “problems that we are talking about is not of the ULFA alone but of the indigenous people of Assam”.
Asked about reports that youths are joining the ULFA(I), the pro-talk leader said as long as there is an organisation, people will join it but many soon get disenchanted and return home.
“There has been a change in Assam’s environment and it is no longer conducive for an armed struggle,” he added.

Pak finance minister hopeful of signing bailout deal with IMF this week

[ad_1]
Islamabad: Pakistan’s Finance Minister Ishaq Dar vowed on Thursday that the government was “absolutely committed” to completing the current USD 7 billion bailout programme with the IMF, once again indicating that the cash-strapped country could sign the staff-level agreement with the global lender this week.
The Pakistan government is in a race against time to implement measures to reach an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as the country has reserves barely enough for three weeks of essential imports, while hotly contested elections are due by November, Dawn newspaper reported.
Addressing a seminar organised by the Finance Ministry here, Dar said: “My team and I have decided that, in a short period of time, we will implement and we will discharge all the sovereign commitments that the previous government had made.” Pakistan and the IMF have been holding virtual talks after the two sides held 10 days of intensive negotiations with an IMF delegation in Islamabad from January 31 to February 9, which failed to reach an agreement.
He recalled that the coalition government was handed over an economy “in a shambles”.
“To top it [off], the previous government (led by Imran Khan) had agreed to a loan facility which was extended by the IMF. But instead of honouring the commitments, they reversed some conditionalities before leaving office. This led to a serious trust deficit [between the lender and Pakistan],” he highlighted.
However, the minister went on to say, the government had realised that these obligations were not made by an individual but by the sovereign state of Pakistan and decided to honour the commitments.
“We have been in the process of the 9th review which has taken longer than it should have […] we seem to be very close to signing the staff-level agreement, hopefully in the next two days,” Dar added.
The agreement with the IMF on the completion of the ninth review of a USD 7 billion loan Extended Fund Facility programme — which has been delayed since late last year over a policy framework — would not only lead to a disbursement of 1.2 billion but also unlock inflows from friendly countries.

The prerequisites by the lender are aimed at ensuring Pakistan shrinks its fiscal deficit ahead of its annual budget around June.
Pakistan has already taken most of the other prior actions, which included hikes in fuel and energy tariffs, the withdrawal of subsidies in export and power sectors, and generating more revenues through new taxation in a supplementary budget.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced a slew of austerity measures last month, including cabinet members forgoing their salaries, paying their own bills, banning the purchase of luxury vehicles from 2024, and slashing the current expenditure by 15 per cent, among others.
The finance minister further said that Pakistan’s economic difficulties were compounded by the devastating 2022 floods, which caused physical and economic losses of nearly USD 30 billion.
The floods, which inundated a third of Pakistan, destroying land, crops, and infrastructure, left more than 1,700 persons dead.
“But despite the fiscal constraints and limitations, the federal and provincial governments have jointly allocated Rs 452 billion for relief and rehabilitation work of flood affectees.
“This persistent fake propaganda regarding the country defaulting on its international obligations is completely ill-founded and null […] in fact it harms the country,” he maintained, adding that “petty politics” was only doing more harm to the cash-strapped country.
Dar said that he had been appealing to the political parties to sit together and sign a charter of economy, but regretted that it always fell on “deaf ears.”
