New Delhi, Mar 16: As speculations around Irrfan Khan's ill-health had been mounting, the actor put rumours to rest today by posting a Tweet on his account.

Khan has been diagnosed with NeuroEndocrine Tumour and will be travelling abroad for treatment.

A few days back the acclaimed actor had released a statement about suffering from a “rare disease” on social media. Ever since then there were several reports hovering around the same, which claimed that the actor was suffering from brain cancer.

This left his family and Bollywood fraternity aghast as without any confirmation by any close sources, reports of his ill-health with bizarre speculations started doing the rounds.

The actor, 51, said it has been difficult dealing with the disease but people around him have given him hope and support to fight it.

"The unexpected makes us grow, which is what the past few days have been about. Learning that I have been diagnosed with Neuro Endocrine Tumour as of now has admittedly been difficult, but the love and strength of those around me and that I found within me has brought me to a place of hope," Irrfan said in a statement.

"The journey of this is taking me out of the country, and I request everyone to continue sending their wishes," he added.

The 'Piku' actor also addressed the rumours surrounding his illness, saying neuro is not always about brain but thanked those who did not speculate about his health.

The actor's wife, Sutapa Sikdar who is a producer and writer had also opened up on social media about the family’s struggle. In her gracious Facebook post on behalf of her family, she referred to her husband, as her best friend and partner.

While Irrfan has been struggling with NeuroEndocrine Tumour, his family and friends have stayed beside him in this battle to help him survive the dreadful disease.

Chennai, Jan 19: Amid ongoing nationwide protests against Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday said that as many as 2838 people from Pakistan were given citizenship during the last six years.

"In the last six years, as many as 2838 Pakistani refugees, 914 Afghan refugees, 172 Bangladeshi refugees including Muslims have been given Indian citizenship. From 1964 to 2008, more than 4,00,000 Tamils (from Sri Lanka) have been given Indian citizenship," Sitharaman said at 'Programme on Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019' event here.

She added, "Till 2014, over 566 Muslims from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan were given Indian citizenship. During 2016-18 under Modi government, around 1595 Pakistani migrants and 391 Afghanistani Muslims were given Indian citizenship."

The minister, further, said, "It was also during the same period in 2016, that Adnan Sami was given Indian citizenship, this is an example."    

Sitharaman added that people who came from East Pakistan have been settled at various camps in the country.

"They are still there and it's been 50-60 years now. If you visit these camps, your heart will cry. The situation is the same with Sri Lankan refugees who continue to live in camps. They're barred from getting basic facilities," she said.

Asserting that the government is not snatching away anyone's citizenship, the BJP leader said: "This Citizenship (Amendment) Act is an attempt to provide people with a better life. We are not snatching away anyone's citizenship, we are only providing them that."

"The National Population Register (NPR) will be updated every 10 years and is not involved with the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Some are involved in raising false allegations and triggering people unnecessarily without any base," she added.

It is not snatching anybody's nationality. You dont have right to do it.

 

 
The subject is not snatching,    the subject is disccimination while giving nationality.
