Amid the raging intolerance debate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asserted that Indian culture goes beyond tolerance and talks of acceptance.

He said this when a delegation of 51 artistes and writers led by veteran actor Anupam Kher met him and expressed concern over protests by a section of the people while describing them as one with a "political agenda".

"The Prime Minister stated that Indian culture goes beyond tolerance, and talks of acceptance," a PMO statement said after the meeting.

The delegation of artistes earlier in the day submitted a memorandum to the President, after they marched to the Rashtrapati Bhavan to counter the protests by writers, artistes and others against alleged "rising intolerance", which they felt projected India in bad light.

The Kher-led delegation described the protests by writers and others after return of their awards as a bid to "tarnish" the image of the country and derail the development initiatives of the Prime Minister.

After 1 years and more than 14,000 cases, Sierra Leone is finally free of Ebola.

The World Health Organization made the announcement Friday, marking the fact that two Ebola virus incubation cycles have passed since the last person confirmed to have the disease had a second negative blood test.

Months have gone by since the outbreak peaked last year, when patients were dying by thousands. Nonetheless, Saturday marks a major milestone in the Ebola fight, though the challenge is making sure that the good news continues.

"We now have a unique opportunity to support Sierra Leone to build a strong and resilient public health system ready to detect and respond to the next outbreak of the disease or any other public health threat," said Dr. Anders Nordstrom, WHO's representative in Sierra Leone.

According to Nordstrom's organization, Sierra Leone had about half of the 28,000 documented Ebola cases tied to the recent outbreak. Some 4,000 people in the West African nation died as a result, tearing apart many families.

Former Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi today saying that he maintained "silence" on the issue of

intolerance in the country.

"The biggest crisis is the silence of the Prime Minister. His silence proved that he has nothing to say on this issue and he has tactic support. Silence also speaks," he told a programme here to protest against intolerance.

Condemning the Dadri lynching incident, the veteran leader said "This kind of incidents have been taking place and the PM only said sorry and described it as a matter of a state. This is not an incident relating to a state, nor it is a law and order issue. It is a matter of humanity."

Chatterjee also alleged that the Modi government is controlled by RSS which is "issuing diktats who will eat what".

suspected arson cases targeting a huge influx of migrants.

They arrived today morning in the town of Tal Tamr in the Khabur region of Hasakeh province in northeastern Syria, the group said.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi today accused the Narendra Modi government of posing a threat to the Indian ethos of pluralism and trying to wipe out the Nehruvian legacy of tolerance.

country.

Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making "false" promise of "Acche Din" to the people, Sonia said the masses feel cheated now as they are still waiting for good days.

"The Modi govenment has failed to rise to the expectations of people," she said.

15:55 Counting of votes tomorrow in high-stakes Bihar polls

Counting of votes in the high-stakes close-to-call Bihar assembly elections, billed as a hot battle between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, will take place tomorrow.

The counting for the 243 seats of the assembly will begin at 8 A M and the verdict for a majority of seats is expected by the early afternoon.

Most of the exit polls have predicted a close contest between the BJP-led NDA and the grand alliance of JD-U-RJD- Congress with a slight edge to the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led grouping.

However, two of them, including Today's Chanakya and the one done by Hansa for NDTV, have given a clear majority to the NDA.

While Kumar is not in the fray, among the prominent faces in the battle are MahaDalit leader Jitan Ram Manjhi, who has fought from two seats, and two sons of RJD chief Lalu Prasad have also made their electoral debut.

The five-phased elections, which started on October 12 and ended on November 5, saw the lead campaigners from both the sides trading bitter accusations that at times turned personal.

A 51-year-old Indian-origin Singapore woman has filed a lawsuit against a hospital here and its doctors, claiming 8.72 million dollars in damages after complications from a urological procedure caused amputation of her limbs.

Sarina Kaur has accused Singapore General Hospital and two of its doctors of going ahead with the procedure to treat recurrent urinary tract infection, even though she had tested positive for a type of bacteria.

She is suing them for about 8.72 million Singaporean dollars to cover costs, including the loss of future earnings and prostheses, media reports said today. Kaur has multiple sclerosis and has been receiving treatment at SGH since 1979.

She was admitted to SGH on November 20, 2012 for the procedure. After the procedure, she developed fever and low blood pressure.

Kaur later went into septic shock and her limbs turned gangrenous. She had her legs amputated at the knees in December, 2012, and lost her forearms in January, 2013.

Kaur also underwent three more procedures to remove "thread buried in the wound" at the amputation site on her left arm. She "suffered numerous surgeries and pain following the urological procedure when bacteria from the bladder spread and led to septicaemic shock", according to a medical report provided by her lawyer Jenson Lee.

The report also noted that she now has to rely on her domestic helper "to do the simplest of things", including answering her phone calls.

Commercial vehicle drivers, caught unaware of Supreme Court's imposition of an 'environment tax',remained stranded on National Highway-8 today for around five hours which led to a massive traffic jam in the area.

The vehicles coming from Jaipur and Gurgaon were stoppedat Srihall toll plaza, Rajeev Chowk and the bordering area ofDelhi at 12 am to pay environment tax.

However, most of the drivers claimed that they were not aware of the new guidelines by the apex court and failed to pay the tax, Manveer Singh, DCP, Gurgaon Traffic police said.

Some drivers also protested against the move, while others didn't have the amount. They parked their vehicles on the main Delhi-Jaipur road, resulting in a massive jam, he said.

The stretch between Sirhaul toll plaza and Rajiv Chowk in Gurgaon was packed with vehicles till early morning today, he said.

The traffic was cleared at around 5 am after diversion was put in place by senior traffic cops, Singh said.

The Supreme Court recently imposed an 'Environment Compensation Charge' on commercial vehicles entering Delhi, in addition to the toll tax, from November for four months on a trial basis, in a bid to check high pollution levels in the city.

An analysis of black boxes from the Russian plane that crashed in Egypt point to a bomb attack, sources close to the probe said today, as Moscow halted flights to the country.

The flight data and voice recorders showed "everything was normal" until both failed at 24 minutes after takeoff, pointing to "a very sudden explosive decompression," one source said.

The data "strongly favours" the theory a bomb on board had brought down the plane, he added.

Another source said the plane had gone down suddenly and violently.

Meanwhile, British airlines were scrambling to evacuate passengers in Sharm el-Sheikh after cancelling flights to the Red Sea resort from which the doomed Airbus had taken off Saturday.

One of the black boxes recovered from the crash site showed that the plane suffered "a violent, sudden" end, a source close to the case in Paris told AFP.

In the coming years, India is positioned much more favourably than China in terms of growth, the World Economic Forum has said though it observed that it is not entirely smooth sailing just yet.

"There is now a consensus among analysts that there are only a few bright spots in the global economy, and India is one of them," Viraj Mehta, head of India and South Asia for World Economic Forum, said in an op-ed on its website.

Based on pure fundamentals, India's outlook is promising; the art is in navigating the inevitable social, political and cultural complexities of the world's largest democracy, he wrote.

"From a macroeconomic perspective, India is positioned much more favourably for the future, even when compared to China," WEF said.

Growth accelerated this year to around 7.5 per cent, putting the country on course to overtake China by the end of 2016. It is no wonder that India jumped 16 places in the World Economic Forum's latest competitiveness index to 55.

China remained steady at 28, whereas Brazil fell 18 places to 75, the WEF article noted.

"In order to continue on this path, India must carry on building foreign investor confidence, something that has been more variable in recent months," Mehta wrote.
