The US aviation authority today banned American carriers from flying to and from Israel for at least 24 hours following a militant rocket strike near Tel Aviv's main airport. The Federal Aviation Administration has told US airlines that they are prohibited from flying to or from Israel's Ben Gurion international airport for a period of up to 24 hours.

The fear of Narendra Modi seems evident in almost in all the 280 Lok Sabha MPs. This is evident from the full house of Treasury benches during question hour. It was Modi who asked the 154 first timers in the BJP to participate in the Lok Sabha proceedings without absence -- otherwise severe action would be taken against the erring MPs. The MPs were told this on the first day of the session.

One senior BJP MP was heard saying that Narendra Modi has implemented the Gujarat model of Assembly proceedings where 100 per cent attendance used to be there when he was chief minister for 13 years. But in the UPA regime, even after Sonia Gandhi and Dr Manmohan Singh's dictats, most of the MPs and even Union Ministers used to skip Parliament.

P Sreedharan's term as Secretary General of the Lok Sabha will end on July 30.

Speaker Sumitra Mahajan is likely to discuss this with the Leader of the Lok Sabha Narendra Modi and also Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs M Venkaiah Naidu on whether an extension should be given to him. Or whether they should seek a new face from the IAS or the Indian Legal Service or promote the senior most Secretary in the Lok Sabha.  A decision is likely to be taken by this weekend.

The Leader of Opposition will not be brought in as was done by former Speaker Meira Kumar, who had consulted Sushma Swaraj --  the then Leader of Opposition. 

Central Hall in Parliament has always been the centerpiece for political gossip. In the last one month, first-time MPs have just begun to realise that. On earlier occasions, seniors used to sit and 'pass on' classified information or leak stories against their opponents here.

But in the Narendra Modi regime, the Central Hall seems to have lost its punch. As many MPs are are first timers, they are wary of gossiping.
With the possible exception of finance minister Arun Jaitley, other Union Ministers are also not keen to sit in Central Hall to chat with reporters. Today, when Sonia Gandhi left for her residence at 1:30 pm, none of the Congress MPs were present in Central Hall and nobody acknowledged that she was walking by.

It wasn't that she was being ignored -- she just took a short route to her car parked outside Parliament House. 

So, who spoke to whom in Parliament today?
Kamal Nath and Sharad Pawar for over half an hour.
Poonam Mahajan and Praful Patel.
Anand Sharma was talking to Digvijaya Singh. They were so involved in the conversation that neither noticed Sonia Gandhi going past their their seats in the Lok Sabha.

Production company Endemol, for one, wants Vishwas in its hit reality TV show Bigg Boss, and has reportedly offered him Rs 5 crore for it. Read more

The Supreme Court said it would enable Roy to facilitate a sale of assets by allowing him a six-hour break from jail. The court has however rejected his bail plea.

Sahara has been claiming that it has paid over 93% of its dues to investors directly and only some remain to be repaid.

Under the law, it can pay back the amounts in cash as average deposits were was to the tune of Rs 8,400 per head, Sahara claims.

The company insists that its payments so far to Sebi to the tune of Rs5,619 crore were enough to cover all payments to investors and the market regulator should verify these and ensure the return of the rest to the company.

Roy's lawyers had stated while asking for bail that it was impossible for him to meet clients and negotiate sale of assets while he was inside Tihar jail.

While the Supreme Court has rejected Sahara chief Subrata Roy's bail plea, it has allowed him to meet visitors outside the jail between 10 am and 4 pm. The court says this would allow Roy to facilitate the sale of his assets.

A New York-based Sikh rights group, which had earlier campaigned against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh, has launched an online petition campaign urging President Barack Obama to cancel invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat.

"Instead of hosting Modi at White House, President Obama should condemn Modi and ban BJP for perpetrating violence against Muslims, Sikhs and Christians," says the White House online petition which was launched by the Sikh for Justice (SFJ) yesterday.

Obama has invited Modi to visit the US and for a meeting with him at the White House on September 30.

"In June 1984, BJP instigated military attack on the Golden Temple resulting in the massacre of thousands of Sikh pilgrims. In 2008, BJP orchestrated violence against Christians in Orissa," the petition alleges.

The petition, requires at least 100,000 signatures by August 20 to gain any attention of the White House, on the first day had got less than two dozen petitions.

The SFJ had campaigned against Gandhi and Singh in connection with the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 following the assassination of the then prime minister Indira Gandhi.

The senior party leader said he was "not satisfied" with the two hour discussion with the state Congress leadership.

Pakistan violated ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir 19 times since the new government took over and the Indian side retaliated appropriately in each case, the Rajya Sabha was informed today.

"Our head has not bowed... This government will not let our heads bow," Defence Minister Arun Jaitley said replying to questions in Rajya Sabha. Jaitley's response came when Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad said Narendra Modi, before becoming the Prime Minister, used to accuse the then UPA dispensation of being "weak".

The minister said during the current year till July 16, there have been 54 ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border in Jammu and Kashmir.

A train carrying the remains of 280 people killed in the Malaysian plane disaster was finally allowed to leave a rebel-held region in eastern Ukraine as the militants declared a truce today around the crash site.

Five days after Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was allegedly shot out of the sky, pro-Russian separatists conceded to a furious international clamour for the bodies and the plane's black boxes to be handed over to investigators.

The devices, which record cockpit activity and flight data, were handed to Malaysian officials by the prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Alexander Borodai, in front of scores of journalists.

"We will order a ceasefire in an area of 10 kilometres around" the site of the disaster, which killed all 298 people on board the plane, he said.

Meanwhile, after days of bitter wrangling, the rebels released the bodies of the dead. Loaded on a train, they will arrive in the government- controlled city of Kharkiv today before being put on a plane to the Netherlands, where the flight to Kuala Lumpur originated and which suffered the greatest loss, with 193 citizens killed in the crash.

The rebel concessions came after US President Barack Obama insisted that Moscow force the insurgents it is accused of backing to cooperate with an international probe into the disaster.

MH17: Experts fear clues as to why Malaysia Airlines plane was brought down could be lost for ever as chaos at scene persists. Read

The United States has no agenda except for getting to the truth of shooting down of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, allegedly by the Russia-backed Ukrainian separatist, the White House has said.

"The (US) President's priority is that this investigation should be conducted by an international set of investigators that don't have an agenda beyond getting to the truth," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters.

His remarks came as the Obama Administration intensified its international effort for an independent and impartial investigation into the shooting down of the Malaysian plane that killed all the 298 people on board.

The Boeing 777 was on a scheduled flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down over pro-Russia rebels-held territory of the eastern Ukraine on Thursday. It is still not clear if the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down purposely or mistakenly.

A bereaved Dutch father has written a savagely ironic open letter to whoever shot down flight MH17, "thanking" them for killing his 17-year-old daughter Elsemiek, "my dear and only child".

"Thank you very much Mr (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, separatist leaders or the Ukrainian government, for murdering my dear and only child," Hans de Borst said in the letter published by Dutch media on Monday.

"Suddenly she's gone. Shot out of the sky in a foreign war-torn country," De Borst said of Thursday's crash, in which 298 people died including 193 Dutch.

The crash has been widely blamed on a missile fired by pro-Kremlin separatists allegedly supplied by Russia, but Moscow blames the Ukraine government.

"Elsemiek was going to finish school next year with her best friends Julia and Marine (who were not on the flight), and she was doing well. She wanted to study civil engineering at Delft University, and she was really excited."

"I hope that you're proud to have destroyed her young life and that you can look at yourself in the mirror," wrote the bereaved father.

"I hope that you will read this message soon, maybe translated into English (which you, as intelligent men, can read)."

"Thanks again!"

Anger is growing in the Netherlands that the dead have yet to be returned from rebel-held eastern Ukraine, with many deploring the chaotic handling of the bodies and the crash site.

And this message is all across Twitter: RoH (@Roger_J_H): My avatar will be black until the day they bring the beloved dead back.to their families. #MH17 #bringthemhome

"Is it , or is it not, correct that I first wrote him a letter from Chennai, stating that there were serious allegations of corruption about an Additional Judge of Madras High Court, and therefore he ( Justice Lahoti ) should get a secret intelligence enquiry held against that Additional Judge,and thereafter I personally met Justice Lahoti at Delhi and again requested for a secret IB enquiry against the Additional Judge about whom I had received several complaints, and from several sources, that he was indulging in corruption ?"
