 [h=3]PM Modi must apologise for issuing financial emergency: Congress[/h] New Delhi [India], Nov 22 (ANI): The Congress on Tuesday alleged that the government's demonetisation drive has unleashed financial anarchy and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to tender an apology to the nation. Questioning the government's decision, Congress leader Anand Sharma said it is illegal to stop an individual from accessing their own money. The reality is that today the people of India - the farmers, the farm labours, the poor, the unorganised sector workers, the small retail business and the average citizen - have been adversely affected," said Sharma.

    [h=3]DHS: Tens of Thousands of Green Cards Have Vanished[/h] Tens of thousands of green cards, used to identify foreign citizens living inside the United States legally, are unaccounted for, Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson reported Tuesday. "It appears that thousands of green cards have simply gone missing," Department of Homeland Security Inspector General John Roth said in a news release Monday. "In the wrong hands, green cards may enable terrorists, criminals, and undocumented aliens to remain in the United States. It is vital that USCIS [United States Citizenship and Immigration Services] ensure better tools and procedures are in place to mitigate such risks." The official report is dated Nov. 16. More than 200,000 approved applicants have reported

F36. Canard




Canard is a preposterous hoax. Canard means a duck in French. What is the connection between a hoax and a duck?

Egide Cornelissen-a Belgian journalist- reported an unusual experiment conducted by him in the early 19Th Century with 20 ducks.

He claimed that he roasted a duck and fed it to the remaining 19 ducks. The next day he roasted another duck and fed it to the remaining 18 ducks. This went of until one duck was left alive which had eaten all his 19 companions!

This story got wide publicity in Europe as well as America. Later the journalist admitted that he had never conducted such an experiment and the story was a product of his fertile imagination.

Since then word Canard itself denotes a large scale hoax.

    Australian woman left 14 cats to eat each other

    An Australian woman whose cats ate each other after she abandoned them in her home has been convicted of animal cruelty. RSPCA inspectors found 13 dead cats and an emaciated survivor when they raided the property in Adelaide, South Australia, in September 2015. The 43-year-old woman was placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond and banned from owning animals. The surviving cat, since named Trooper, has recovered and found a new home. RSPCA South Australia chief inspector Andrea Lewis said it was a "heartbreaking" case for staff. "They see some pretty awful things," she told the BBC. "But this is something that will stay with them for a long time." Video footage recorded by the RSPCA shows the

    Illegal Immigrants Set Record By Using Children As Deportation Shields

    Unaccompanied minors are being used as deportation shields in the newest strategy by illegal immigrants to sneak into the country, an expert on the subject told The Washington Times. Internal Homeland Security documents reviewed by the newspaper show that adults trying to illegally cross into the U.S are pairing up with unrelated children to pretend to be families and fabricate heart-breaking stories in order to convince border agents to admit them. Partly due to this tactic, the U.S. set records for illegal immigrant children and families in fiscal year 2016 and is on pace to break that mark one month into the current fiscal year. Intelligence analysts said migrants have figured out so well

I guess harassing is an inborn trait of all human beings! :(

There are two classes as usual the harassed and the harasser! :hail:...:whip:

It is funny that the harassed becomes the harasser for people

 [h=3]Male Harassment in a Male Dominated Society![/h] New Delhi [India], Nov.24 (ANI): 'Sexual Harassment', the term by default has always generally been associated with women. On the other hand, the fact that men do also go through similar if not exact, form of harassment, has always been a concealed topic. According to Kanishk Agarwal, Founder of law firm CriTaxCorp, in India, according to a recent report by one of the top media house, in big metros like Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune 19 percent men out of a sampling of 527 people said they have faced some form of sexual harassment at office.

Representing the Centre, Attorney General Mukul Rohtagi conveyed to the apex court that the queues before ATMs and banks have been considerably reduced and claimed that situation would be normal in 20 days. Asserting that the aim of demonetisation is to make people adopt digital mode of money transfer and reduce cash transaction to eight per cent in India, Rohtagi further said that the Centre has collected Rs. six lakh crores and it expect Rs. 15 lakh crores in the next collection.

Any step to ease the situation!!! :welcome:

 [h=3]India doubles balance limit for digital wallets to help merchants[/h] MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Indian central bank on Tuesday doubled the balance that can be kept in prepaid wallets and cards to 20,000 rupees ($292) to help small merchants get paid electronically after the government withdrew high value bills. The Reserve Bank of India also said merchants can transfer up to 50,000 rupees per month from these so-called semi-closed prepaid payment instruments to their bank accounts. The relaxation will be applicable until Dec. 30, the RBI said. Indian businesses have been badly hit with buyers and sellers left with very little cash following the demonetisation. ...

Angela oru Angel aaaa??? :decision:

 [h=3]Will Angela Merkel be the savior of liberal democracy?[/h] Neatly organizing her papers before speaking in her soft Berliner accent, the German Chancellor made the announcement everybody had been waiting for, “To stand as a candidate for a fourth time after 11 years in power is anything but a trivial decision, not for the country, for the party, nor for me,” she said. Angela Merkel spoke, not with a fanfare, not even with a smile but with that quiet determination that had been her trademark since she became the first female Chancellor in Germany. The opposite is true for Angela Merkel.
