Amit Shah, Azam Khan booked for controversial remarks

April 13, 2014

Ghaziabad, Apr 13: A day after the Election Commission banned BJP leader Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Minister Mohammad Azam Khan from holding public meetings and rallies and directed the U.P. government to initiate criminal proceedings against the duo, two FIRs were lodged against each of them on Saturday.

Amith_AzamBoth the FIRs against Mr. Shah were registered in Muzaffarnagar district. The cases were lodged under Sections 123 (3) of the Representation of the People Act (appeal by a candidate or his agent...to vote on the grounds of his religion, race caste, community or language) and Section 188 of the IPC (disobedience of order duly promulgated by a public servant).

"A compliance report has been sent to the Government," Muzaffarnagar District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma told The Hindu.

Two FIRs were also registered against Mr. Khan, one each in Ghaziabad and Shamli districts.

The FIR against Mr. Khan in Ghaziabad was filed under Sections 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion, race), 153 B (imputations and assertions prejudicial to national integration) and 295 A (deliberate and malicious act to outrage religious feelings) of the IPC.

In Shamli, the Minister was booked for making an alleged "hate speech" in Jalalabad on April 9.

Samajwadi Party president Mulayam Singh and U.P. Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav came out in support of Mr Khan.

Describing Mr. Khan as a "secular leader," Mr. Singh said the ban was wrong.

Addressing an election meeting in Faridpur in Aonla parliamentary constituency, Mr. Singh appealed to the Election Commission to reconsider its decision and allow Mr. Khan to participate in electioneering.

'EC did not wait for reply'

Support for Mr. Khan also came from Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who said that the Election Commission imposed the ban without waiting for Mr. Khan’s reply.

The ban on Mr. Khan has seemingly come as a rude shock for the SP. Not only is he the Muslim face of the party, Mr. Khan is also known for his oratory.

Mumbai, Jul 24: Reliance India Limited (RIL) on Friday overtook ExxonMobil to become the world's second most valuable energy company and 46th among the world's largest companies by market capitalisation.

RIL's market capitalisation stood at Rs 14.16 lakh crore (USD 189.3 billion) at market close on Friday. ExxonMobil's current market value is USD 184.77 billion.

"Reliance Industries, with a market capitalisation of USD 189.3 billion now is the second-most valuable energy company in the world. Reliance Industries now stands at 46th among the world's largest companies by market capitalisation ahead of well-known names like ExxonMobil, Abbott Laboratories, Oracle Corp, Chevron and Unilever Plc, and just below PepsiCo," RIL said in an official release.

RIL continued its rally on Friday, notwithstanding overall weak market conditions.

RIL shares made a new all-time high of Rs 2,163 and were last traded at Rs 2,148.8 on NSE with a gain of 4.4 per cent. The market capitalisation of fully paid-up shares stands at Rs 13.62 lakh crore (USD 182.06 billion), the release said.

Reliance partly paid-up shares gained 9.33 per cent on NSE today to last trade at Rs 1289.95. The partly paid-up shares now have a market capitalisation of Rs 0.55 lakh crore (USD 7.29 billion).

"Reliance's share price had touched a bottom of Rs 867 on March 23, 2020, when the total market value of the company stood at Rs 5.5 lakh crore or $73.5 billion. Thus, RIL has added $115.9 billion to shareholder wealth within just four months - one of the highest value creation feats in the world in such a short time," the release said.

Reliance had earlier raised Rs 212,809 crore through Rights Issue, combined investments in Jio Platforms and investment by bp.
