Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt says it is import-ant for actors to have different kind of look for every film otherwise it becomes boring. “Now a days there are charac-ters for which one has to look (in a) certain way. For ‘Udta Punjab’ I had to lose weight and for ‘Shaandaar’ I had to have that bikini look... I had to look desirable as a lady. It is boring if you (ac-tors) keep looking same way in all your (their) films,” the 22-year-old actress told reporters here at an event.

Islamic State second-in-command killed in US air strike: White House

Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad

Patel community leader Hardik Patel on Saturday said the police and the Gu-jarat government will be “responsible” if the pro-posed rally of Patels for OBC status here on Au-gust 25 turns violent. “We want to hold the rally (on August 25) peacefully, but if they (state government or police) try to stop us, we will not remain silent. If violence happens, the government and the po-lice will be responsible for that,” Hardik, convener of ‘Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti’. The 23-year-old leader is spearheading the agitations by Patels who are demanding res-ervation in government jobs and education under OBC quota. To a query, Hardik claimed around 25 lakh people from across the state are expected to attend the rally. Hardik

said only the writ of Patels runs large in Gujarat and that the community de-cides who assumes pow-er in the state. “Whoever talks of interest of Patels will come to power in Gujarat. Patel communi-ty has brought people to power and thrown many others out of power. If we fail to get OBC status, we will vote against the in-cumbent government,” he said. Hardik emphasised that the agitation of Patels is apolitical. “This (get-ting reservation) is a mat-ter of our right. It does not matter which party (Con-gress or BJP) is in power. We call CM (Anandiben Patel) our aunt, but our aunt should now under-stand that her nephews are agitating on roads, so she should give us our right and that is OBC (status),” Hardik said.

The second-in-command of the Islamic State jihad-ist group has been killed in a US air strike in northern Iraq, the White House said Friday. The National Se-curity Council identified the slain militant as Fadhil Ahmad al-Hayali, also known as Haji Mutaz, and said he was IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s senior deputy. This is not the first time that US officials have announced Hayali’s death.

State’s ruling council, and “a primary coordinator for moving large amounts of weapons, explosives, ve-hicles and people between Iraq and Syria”. “He sup-ported ISIL operations in both countries and was in charge of ISIL oper-ations in Iraq, where he was instrumental in plan-

ning operations over the past two years, includ-ing the ISIL offensive in Mosul in June 2014,” it said, using another name for Islamic State. Like many senior Iraqi jihad-ists, before joining the IS group, Hayali had been a member of Al-Qaeda’s Iraqi faction. He was re-portedly a former Iraqi officer from the era of Saddam Hussein. IS mil-itants launched a devas-tating offensive in Iraq in June 2014. Beginning in Mosul, the country’s second city and capital of Nineveh province, they swept security forc-es aside and eventually overran around a third of the country.

backing the BJP for the last 25 years. “On August 25, we want Patels at ev-ery nook and corner of the city. Every true Patel should take a leave from their business and job to support the cause of the community. We were sup-posed to hold this rally even if the police did not give us permission,” he said. Hardik said more than 40,000 volunteers will take care of managing the large number of peo-ple who will be turning up for the ‘Kranti rally’. “On

August 15, 1947 India got freedom similarly we Pa-tels will get freedom on August 25. There will be a revolution. People of our community have become aware of their rights,” he said on the theme of the ral-ly. When asked about his remarks that Patels could follow the path of revo-lutionaries like Bhagat Singh if non-violent way of Mahatma Gandhi fails to work, Hardik said “they (remarks) will be clarified after August 25.” When asked if he is planning

to join electoral politics in future, Hardik said he could offer his comments only after August 25. He said Patels have always cooperated with the police and they will also extend the same on Tuesday, the day of the rally. Hardik ruled out holding talks with government at this juncture. “They (govern-ment) invited me earlier, but at that time this move-ment (for OBC quota) was not spread across the state. I turned down their invita-tion because we wanted to spread our message first. There is a rumour that the state government

has invited me (now) but I did not get any invi-tation,” he said. Hardik said some leaders of the community do meet min-isters. “But it is up to the Patel community whether they approve these people as their leaders,” he add-ed. When asked whether the Rs 700-crore pack-age announced by the state government yester-day for communities not overed under any reser-vation could placate Pa-tels, Hardik said, “Noth-ing less than OBC status will please us.” To a que-ry whether the agitation by Patels would rile other

communities classified under OBC quota, Hardik said, “There is no conflict between any community. We do not have any objec-tion if OBC communities agitate for their right. But they (OBC) should also understand our demands (to get OBC status). We will request for their coop-eration.” Patel community has so far conducted 137 rallies in various parts of the state for OBC status. “Around 70 per cent people belonging to Patel commu-nity lack government jobs as a result of which they have been languishing in poverty,” he added.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYRupee vs dollar: When 66 does not equal 66

The Indian rupee fell further this morning in response to a global sell-off across emerging markets. In in-tra-day trade, the currency touched a two-year low of 65.90 per US dollar. The last time we saw these levels on the Indian currency was on 6 September 2013, in-cidentally the week that Raghuram Rajan took over as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor. The day Rajan took over, on 4 September, the currency was trading at 67 per dollar, having just about re-covered from all-time lows of 68.82 per dollar on 28 August. One of the immediate decisions that Rajan took was to boost reserves through a scheme incen-tivizing banks to raise foreign currency non-resident deposits. That had helped the rupee back to 66 per dollar levels the day after Rajan began his governor-ship. If the current bout of nervousness across global markets continues, a fall back to those 66 per dollar levels is quite possible. So have events come a full circle for Rajan and the rupee? The answer to that is: No. That’s because the 66 of 2015 is not equal to the 66 of 2013. In 2015, the rupee is falling in sync with global currencies. In fact, the rupee is still among the top five best-performing currencies in the world since the beginning of this year. Year-to-date, the rupee has fallen less than 4% which is nothing when compared to the bruising that other emerging market currencies, like the Malaysian ringgit, have taken. On Friday, the Malaysian ringgit fell to a 17-year low, in a fall that has reminded a number of global commentators of the 1998 currency crisis, which was partly blamed on prominent foreign investors like George Soros betting against the Malaysian currency. So in com-parative terms, the rupee is better off compared with most emerging market currencies, a point highlighted by the RBI governor at a public speaking event on Thursday. There are other fundamental reasons why we don’t need to worry about the rupee depreciation as much as we did two years ago. The problem is that the equity markets are beginning to get nervous about the falling currency. Remember that a depreciating rupee is a direct hit on profits that foreign investors were hoping to take home from the Indian markets. Given that the equity markets are now flat for the year in terms of gains, the falling currency could make in-vestors question whether they want to stay invested. A lot of foreign capital came into the Indian markets in 2014 and then some in 2015, and expectation of fur-ther depreciation could see some of this capital being returned. There is one other reason to be watchful and that is the impact that the currency has on corporate earnings. Earlier this week, an RBI study had pointed out that the impact of currency moves on earnings has increased “manifold” in the post-crisis years.

Delhi High Court today stayed the television pre-miere of Bollywood mov-ie ‘Grand Masti’ saying the film was not certified for unrestricted public exhibition and cannot be televised under the Cable Network Regulation Act. A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath was of the prima facie view that under the Act, any movie with ‘U/A’ or ‘A’ certification, which were not suitable for unre-stricted exhibition, cannot be shown on television. In an interim order, the court rejected the gov-

ernment’s argument that since a warning that it was not suitable for children and minors is shown be-fore such a movie starts, parents could change the channel. Every time a child watches TV, it might not be under parental supervi-sion, the bench observed. While passing the interim order, the court also issued notice to the Ministry of Information and Broad-casting (MIB) and Central Board of Film Certifica-tion (CBFC) seeking their replies by September 16 on a plea seeking quashing of the U/A certification given to the movie.

The Indian government has set a floor price for the sale of shares in top state-run refiner Indian Oil Corp Ltd at Rs 387 each, the company said, a two percent discount from Friday’s close. At the floor price, the 10 per cent stake sale in the company will bring in Rs 93.96 billion ($1.4 billion) rupees for the govern-ment. New Delhi is seeking to raise as much as $11 billion by selling stakes in state-run companies this fiscal year, crucial to narrowing the fiscal deficit to a planned 3.9 per cent of gross domestic product in 2015/16.

The Reserve Bank on Friday gave the farming community much to cheer about when it said banks can extend loan repayment period up to 5 years in case 50 per cent crop is damaged due to natural calamities like drought and flood. However, if crop damage is 33 per cent, the loan repayment peri-od can be extended up to 2 years, including one year of moratorium. “It has been decided to allow state-level bankers committees/district level con-sultative committees/banks to take a view on re-scheduling of loans if the crop loss is 33 per cent or more,” RBI said in a notification. “Banks may allow a maximum period of repayment of up to 2 years (including the moratorium period of 1 year) if the loss is between 33 per cent and 50 per cent. If the crop loss is 50 per cent or more, the restructured period for repayment may be extended to a maxi-mum of 5 years (including the moratorium period of one year),” it said. In all cases of restructuring, the central bank said, the moratorium period of at least one year should be considered. Moreover, the banks should not insist on additional collateral se-curity for such restructured loans, it added.

The faltering com-munication across the Atlantic and legal lim-its on the Swiss probe could mean the com-bined investigations will not have as far-ranging

In a blow to the state gov-ernment, the Gujarat High Court on Friday stayed the legislation recently passed for making voting com-pulsory in local body elec-tions. Earlier this month, the government had also announced Rs 100 as fine to those who would skip voting. The division bench led by Acting chief justice Jayant Patel stayed the law. Two days back, advo-cate KR Koshti had moved

the court challenging the government’s move say-ing that voting is a right of citizens and not a duty. He also cited various sections of Peoples’ Representa-tion Act to challenge the government’s legislation. In July, Gujarat became the first state in the coun-try to have a provision for compulsory voting with the state government, through a notification, making voting mandatory in the local body elections. The government also an-

nounced that the eligible voter violating the provi-sion for compulsory vot-ing in the local body elec-tions would have to pay a fine of Rs 100, according to the draft rules regarding punitive measures under the Gujarat Local Author-ities Act (Amendment) 2009. The draft rules also mentioned 11 conditional relaxations for the elderly, students, those suffering from illness, mourning a death or attending a wed-ding on the day.

Demand for OBC status: Hardik Patel set to get govt invite for talks after ‘56-inch chest’ reminderCorrespondent | Vadodara

As the Patidars fur-ther mounted pressure on the BJP government for OBC status, Gujarat Chief Minister Anandi-ben Patel called an emer-gency meeting of her ministers Friday night at her residence, where it was suggested to invite “face of the agitation” Hardik Patel for talks ahead of the communi-ty’s rally in Ahmedabad on August 25. “The gov-ernment is likely to invite Patidar leader Hardik Patel for talks,” said a minister, who requested anonymity. “This meet-ing would be held before

the August 25 rally.” In a show of strength, the Patidars on Friday held rallies in Vadodara, Su-rat and Bharuch districts, with Hardik claiming that they have “56-inch chests” and the power to force the state govern-ment to concede to their demand for OBC status and reservation benefits. Hardik’s comment was inspired by the famous “56-inch chest” remark by Prime Minister Nar-endra Modi. While Har-dik led back-to-back rallies in Jhadeshwar (Bharuch) and Vadoda-ra, respectively, the demonstrations in An-

them on their demands,” said Hardik, leader of the Sardar Patel Group, while addressing around 1.5 lakh people gathered at Navlakhi grounds in Vadodara. The sloganeer-

ing was only an exten-sion of the fiery speech by Hardik, who made it clear that the Patel com-munity would not relent till the state government agreed to their demand.

“Either the government grants us reservation or discontinues the entire concept of reservation. There is no other option. Until that time, our agita-tion will continue. We are now walking the path of Mahatma Gandhi, but if needed, we will resort to Bhagat Singh’s ways,” he said. Sending out a warn-ing to the ruling BJP, the 21-year-old said: “It is the power of the Patels of Gujarat that decides the government. In the 1980s, we uprooted the hand of Congress. Now, if our demands are not met, we will overthrow this government too.”
