22:03 Karunanidhi undergoing speech therapy: Stalin
Ailing DMK president M Karunanidhi was recuperating and undergoing speech therapy, his son and party working president M K Stalin said today.
"You all know. It is due to old age. There are some issues. Right now, he is recuperating," Stalin told reporters at the party headquarters 'Anna Arivalayam' in Chennai.
Stating that tracheotomy, an incision in the windpipe was made to help the 93-year-old DMK patriarch breathe, Stalin said, "He is being given speech therapy."
"Hope he will be healthy soon," Stalin said.
Karunanidhi was admitted to a private hospital in the state capital in December for breathing difficulty due to throat and lung infection.
He was discharged after week-long treatment, with the doctors advising him complete rest.
A photograph of the DMK chief watching television from his bed was then released by the hospital to allay rumours about his health condition.
The DMK appointed Stalin as its working president on January 4, at the party's general council meeting where the party patriarch was not present.
22:01 India can develop space station, says ISRO chief
Indian Space Research Organisation chairman A S Kiran Kumar today said the country has the capability to develop a space station, but it needed a long-term approach and an ambitious planning.
His comment follows ISRO display of technological prowess last week by launching 104 satellites in a single mission.
"We have all the capabilities to set up a space station. The day the country takes the decision, we will 'ok' the project. Just draw a policy and provide us necessary funds and time," Kumar said.
He was in the city to attend the foundation day ceremony of Raja Ramanna Center for Advanced Technology.
"We still talk about what would be the immediate benefits of a manned space mission. That is why the country hasn't made up its mind about when to invest in a space station," he said.
A long-term thinking was needed for setting up a space station, he said, adding "the sooner the better." Kumar said ISRO was also mulling tying up with the industry to enhance the country's satellite launching capability.
Many more satellites were needed to keep a tab on the land and weather conditions and to enhance the communication network, he said. This would be possible with increase in the number of satellite launches, for which the country needed to enhance the basic infrastructure and reduce the cost of equipment, he added.
21:23 DMK will move no confidence motion against TN assembly speaker: Stalin
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam Working President M K Stalin has said that his party will bring a no confidence motion against Tamil Nadu assembly speaker P Dhanpal.
"34 DMK MLAs signatures are enough to remove the speaker," Stalin said. He further said, "Edappadi K Palaniswam would not have become the CM, if there was a secret ballot in the assembly.' The DMK had appealed to Tamil Nadu Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao to 'nullify' the vote of confidence won by Sasikala loyalist E K Palaniswami, alleging it was adopted by contravening the rules of the state assembly.
20:55 Rs 2,000 note should be withdrawn in future: Ramdev
Yoga guru Baba Ramdev today said the government, in future, should reconsider the decision to introduce the Rs 2,000 note.
"High denomination currency never augurs well for any country, which is why the Prime Minister has stressed the digital transactions. The government should reconsider it (Rs 2,000 note) in future," Ramdev said.
Speaking to reporters, he said he did not like the decision to introduce Rs 2,000 note after the demonetisation.
"I don't like the Rs 2,000 note. High denomination currency is responsible for political and economic crimes. It is behind the black money, terrorism, Naxalism and also used for luring the voters during the elections," he said.
Crores of rupees in high denomination currency can be stored on a small space, like in a suitcase, he said.
20:08 Hafiz Saeed should be eliminated: Afghanistan Assembly Speaker
Afghanistan National Assembly Speaker Abdul Raouf Ibrahimi has suggested that Pakistan merely putting Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed on the terror list was not enough and said the international terrorist
"should be eliminated".
He also accused Pakistan of sponsoring terrorism directed against India and Afghanistan and thereby, threatening the peace and prosperity of the entire region.
"Who cares whether it is Hafiz Saeed or anyone else. An enemy is an enemy and a murderer is a murderer. You should take action they (terrorists) should be eliminated and neutralised," Ibrahimi told PTI on sidelines of the South-Asia Speakers' summit.
He was replying to a question on Pakistan putting Saeed and his terrorist organisations on the terror list.
Ibrahimi further said he can feel the pain of victims of terrorism as he himself has lost four members of his family to this menace. "It is very painful," he added.
"In case of both India and Afghanistan, cross-border terrorism is originating from Pakistan which is, unfortunately, patronising it also," he said adding that this should be stopped, you don't expect this from neighbours.
"... Unfortunately as a neighbouring country and despite being a Muslim country Pakistan see their interest in the instability of Afghanistan," he added.

The detailed memorandum issued by the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises ministry outlines that the "issue pertaining to publishing the photographs of Prime Minister in the diary and calendar of KVIC has raised the following points which need to be followed by KVIC in the future".

18:20 Modi and Shah are terrorists: SP leader
A Samajwadi Party minister today stoked a controversy by calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah "terrorists" which invited sharp reaction from the Centre's ruling party which said use of such "intemperate language" shows SP's "frustration".
"Both of them want to create an environment of fear in the state for votes. They (Modi and Shah) are terrorists. They are creating terror in our democracy," Rajendra Chaudhary told reporters in Lucknow.
He said "BJP has nothing" to say about its work and therefore its leaders are making "wild allegations".
"The BJP knows it is losing the UP polls and it will perform worse than even in Bihar," said Chowdhury, who is also a minister in the Akhilesh Yadav Cabinet.
The prime minister and the BJP national president have been attacking the ruling Samajwadi Party in their campaign rallies.
The SP leader today said Shah "used to terrorise voters" from the dais and many times its own workers "get afraid of him due to his behaviour".
BJP has reacted sharply to the "intemperate language" of the leader.
"It is their (SP's) frustration and people of UP will punish them for such intemperate language against the PM," said BJP vice president and party's UP in-charge Om Mathur.

CBI has forwarded Delhi Police's request for the issuance of Red Corner Notice against arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari to Interpol.
Bhandari, accused of scams during the UPA tenure in India, has been found to be hiding in London.
A CNN report reveals that Bhandari had escaped despite 2-3 lookout notices filed against him.
Bhandari has allegedly played the role of a middleman in many deals during the 10-year rule of the UPA government, which include the much controversial Pilatus deal.
According to reports, the Income Tax department had registered a case against Bhandari under the Black Money Act. Another case had been lodged against him by the Delhi Police under the Official Secrets Act. The Enforcement Directorate is also known to have registered a complaint against him for money laundering.
And while there are 3 big cases pending against him, it is unsure as to who helped him sneak from the country and into England and what route he had taken to reach his destination.
17:31 OPS camp MLAs may be disqualified: Reports
The O Panneerselvam faction is all set to get another jolt with disqualification staring in the face of 11 of its MLAs, say reports.
While the OPS group cannot be written off as members have been keeping up a constant anti-Sasikala refrain and projecting itself as the true heirs of J Jayalalithaa, their numbers remain just 11. If there are no major shake-ups in the government, it may well survive the remaining four years and the task of keeping his small flock together could prove all the more difficult for OPS.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday mocked at Mayawati's opposition to note ban, saying the BSP is no longer Bahujan Samaj Party but 'Behenji Sampatti Party'.
At an election rally in Orai region of Jalaun in Bundelkhand region, the Prime Minister said those who deposit wealth for themselves can never solve the problems of people.He also attacked the SP and Congress for criticising the demonestisation decision.
"Where has Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) reached today... When I announced note ban on November 8 last year, arch-rivals SP and BSP, who never see eye-to-eye, came together... I was amazed when I launched war against corruption and asked for the details of black money. They came together and all, including the Congress, started speaking the same language,' Modi said.
The main concern of the parties in Uttar Pradesh was not note ban, but that they did not get enough time to stash away the ill-gotten money.
"Behenji (Mayawati) alleges that government was ill-prepared... Was it the government or it was you who was not prepared... She said one week should have been given (before implementing note ban)... Mulayam also said the same,' he said."Money started being deposited in banks all of a sudden (after note ban) and (Mayawati) started shouting as why is it only at election time that the account of her brother has been made public... Why is it being discussed that 100 crore have been deposited,' he said.
"Arrey Behenji discussion not because elections are being held, but because you have deposited 100 crore after note ban... BSP is no longer Bahujan Samaj Party... bahujan toh Mayawati me simat gaya hai... It is Behenji Sampatti Party now. Those who deposit wealth for themselves, can they solve your problem?' he asked.

Adolf Hitler's personal telephone, which the Fuehrer used to dictate many of his deadly World War II commands, sold at auction for USD 243,000, the US house selling it announced.
Originally a black Bakelite phone, later painted crimson and engraved with Hitler's name, the relic was found in the Nazi leader's Berlin bunker in 1945 following the regime's defeat. The auction house Alexander Historical Auctions, which did not reveal the winning bidder's identity, had estimated its worth between USD 200,000 and USD 300,000. The starting bid was set at USD 100,000.
The Maryland company auctioned off more than a thousand items including the phone and a porcelain sculpture of an Alsatian dog for USD 24,300. Both winners bid by telephone.
More than 70 years old, the Siemens rotary telephone is embossed with a swastika and the eagle symbolic of the Third Reich. Alexander House dubbed the phone -- which Hitler received from the Wehrmacht, Nazi Germany's armed forces -- as "arguably the most destructive 'weapon' of all time, which sent millions to their deaths." It said Hitler used it to give most of his orders during the last two years of World War II.

Ridiculing the alliance between the Congress and the Samajwadi Party for
the ongoing assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, the Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) on Monday sardonically remarked that the 'shehzaadey' of the
alliance - Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and incumbent Chief
Minister Akhilesh Yadav - have disappointed their respective parents and
hence, cannot do anything good for the state.
Referring to Rahul Gandhi, BJP president Amit Shah said, "One has disappointed his mother," adding, "while the other one has made his father suffer," while training his guns at Akhilesh Yadav.
"The whole of Uttar Pradesh is annoyed with both of them. Their partnership cannot bring development in the state," Shah added.
Shah also asked the SP-Congress alliance to list down what all the state government did for the development of Uttar Pradesh in its tenure.
The BJP leader also accused the alliance of giving benefits to people on the basis of their castes.
"If your caste and religion do not suit them, they will not give you the laptops. But the BJP will give free laptops to every youth without any bias," Shah asserted.
Meanwhile, SP spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary courted controversy by branding Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah as 'terrorists', adding that they are trying to mislead voters in Uttar Pradesh to gather support for the party.

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan was on Monday dragged into the political slugfest in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections after UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav at a rally in Rae Bareli appealed to Bachchan to not advertise for the donkeys of Gujarat.
The remark kicked up a row as it was seen as an apparent dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is from Gujarat. Bachchan, whose wife Jaya Bachchan is a Samajwadi Party MP, is the brand ambassador of Gujarat Tourism.
Taking a dig at the ad, Yadav said on Monday, "Main sadi ke mahanayak se appeal karta hoon ke Gujarat ke gadhon ka prachar mat karein (I appeal to the superstar of the century to not campaign for the donkeys of Gujarat)."
BJP leader GVL Narsimha Rao said, "Akhilesh Yadav has lost his balance. This comment is a personal attack and his desperation can be seen. It is a very cheap and derogatory remark by the Chief Minister."
SP leader Udayveer Singh said, "The Prime Minister has been saying that UP is number 1 in loot, rape and crime. However, the CM has only said that even the donkeys of Gujarat are being glorified. The CM has not said anything wrong."

14:58 Ganga ki kasam! Akhilesh's response to PM's bijli barb
UP CM Akhilesh Yadav who was addressing a rally near PM Narendra Modi's constituency in Varanasi this morning, hit back at the PM for his comments that the state was facing an acute power crisis.
PM Modi yesterday, in an election rally in Fatehpur, had accused the Chief Minister of discriminating on religious grounds, saying, "If there's electricity on Ramzan, it should also be there on Diwali. There must be bijli (power) both on Eid and Holi... There should be no discrimination."
So, this morning at a rally in the Gandhi bastion of Rae Bareli, Akhilesh hit back saying, "You revere Ganga maiyya (river Ganga). Why don't you swear on the Ganga and tell us... is the Samajwadi Party government giving 24-hour electricity in Varanasi or not?"
At the PM's speech in Fatehpur, around 120 km from state capital Lucknow, he referred to the widely-shared image of Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi at their roadshow in Agra, with the Congress Vice-President bending to avoid electricity wires as he rode on a Mercedes SUV with the Chief Minister.
"One ducked as he usually does. As for Akhilesh Yadav, he didn't need to - he knew the line is dead because there is no electricity anywhere," jibed the Prime Minister as the crowd roared in approval.
PM Modi has said in several rallies in UP that the BJP would end "vikas ka vanvaas (exile of development) if it was voted in.

14:28 RBI increases cash withdrawal limits to Rs 50K
The Reserve Bank of India on Monday increased the weekly limit on withdrawal of cash from savings bank accounts to Rs 50,000.
The limit will be removed from March 13.Earlier, the RBI had decided to remove the limits on cash withdrawals in two phases, keeping with the pace of remonetisation.
Cash withdrawal limits have been in place since November 8, 2016 following the Narendra Modi-led central government decision to demonetise Rs 500 and 1000 notes.
Government and RBI had imposed limits on withdrawal of money from ATMs and bank branches in view of the currency shortage following demonetisation. These limits, however, are being gradually eased, with RBI pumping in new notes of Rs 500 and Rs 2,000.
The decision to increase the withdrawal limit was taken after the RBI announced its sixth bi-monthly monetary policy review. On the basis of remonetisation, RBI had earlier eased restrictions on cash withdrawal from current accounts, cash credit accounts and withdrawal through ATMs on February 1.

10:33 Does PM Modi want to be a municipal commissioner: Congress on 'diwali electricity' remark
More flak for PM's electricity for cemeteries comment: The Congress on Monday took a jibe at him asking if he wanted to become a municipal commissioner, since he was showing a keen interest on local issues as distribution of electricity.
Responding to Prime Minister Modi's 'Diwali, Ramzan bhed-bhav remark' Congress leader Salman Khurshid told ANI that this kind of language should not be used to by the leader of the nation and added that he should learn to be a Prime Minister.
"I believe every Indian citizen be it Hindu, Muslim or Sikh, Christian anyone, their festivals should be given every possible assistance that is reasonable. And I don't think so we should be treating these festivals only like festivals. India has traditionally treated all festivals as festivals of everybody... I think Mr. Modi is not learning how to be a Prime Minister which is a very sad thing. A Prime Minister no matter of which party is the PM of the country, but Mr. Modi just isn't learning to be the PM of the country," he said.
Further attacking Prime Minister Modi over his 'diwali electricity' remark, Khurshid added, "is Mr. Modi wanting to become a municipal commissioner? he is descending to talking about electricity being provided on particular days and in particular places. I have never known this to be an issue with Diwali. Diwali is a festival of lights and in fact not only is electricity provided, but also people add to that by placing enormous number of diyas and various other thing that light up the atmosphere. I have never heard of this issue. And if this is an issue, it is not for the Prime Minister to be raising it but something which has to be handed locally," he added.
Earlier on Sunday, while addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Fatehpur, Prime Minister Modi said, "In a village, if a cemetery can be constructed, so should a cremation ground. If electricity is supplied during Ramzan, so electricity should also be supplied during Diwali as well. There should not be any discrimination on the basis of religion and caste."

Surjewala further asserted that the third phase of assembly election in Uttar Pradesh has conclusively established that the Samajwadi Party and Congress alliance is winning decisively in the state.
"It is proved by the intemperate language of Prime Minister Modi and by the choice of completely reprehensible language by BJP president Amit Shah. Both Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah are speaking the language of the leader who has lost the war. BJP will lose all the five states," he said.

08:33 Congress to file complaint with EC against PM over cemetery remarks
Coming down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for drawing a parallel between Hindu and Muslim festivals, the Congress has said that it would file a complaint with the the Election Commission of India to take stock of the matter and urged the former to refrain from making such statements which bring 'disrepute' to his post.
"The prime minister is invoking communalism in order to polarise voters. The ECI should take note of this because it is a clear violation of its rules and regulations. He has brought disrepute to his post and has violated the principles for which he took his oath. These conservative ideas are subscribed by the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the like minded organisations. It seems that the PM is unable to come out of this mentality. We hope the ECI will take action in this," Congress leader Anand Sharma said.
Earlier on Sunday, while addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Fatehpur, Prime Minister Modi said, "In a village, if a cemetery can be constructed, so should a cremation ground.
