April 18, 2019

* Alcohol consumption distorts people's personality as well as their thoughts

* Shut down liquor selling country wide for seven days before the voting

* Need positive cooperation from state administration and common people 

In an event named 'Total Ban on Liquor during the Elections' organized by the Urjaa Foundation on Thursday, 28th March 2019, at the Café Bhadaas. Urjaa Guru Arihant Rishi demanded a countrywide total ban on alcohol consumption and alcohol selling during the general elections. The dearest disciple of spiritual guru Mahamna Acharya Samrat Kushagranandi Ji Maharaj, Urjaa Guru Arihant Rishi requested the Chief Election Commission of India, for a total liquor prohibition during the Lok Sabha elections in the country, which is going to be held from April 11 to May 19, 2019 in 7 phases, and in the assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha and Sikkim. Arihant Rishi believes that consumption of alcohol also influences a person’s mentality as well as his/her personality.

Addressing the media, Urjaa Guru Arihant Rishi said, “It is revealed through the media that various political parties, in the greed of the votes, induce voters and distribute money and liquor among them for party’s petty interests. Such acts create an atmosphere of chaos in society, and also weaken the democratic system of the country. Therefore, in order to keep the country's democratic system sustainable and to implement the electoral process effectively, it is very important to ban the sale of liquor completely in the country seven days before the voting. For this, we wish to have the positive cooperation and support from the state administration and the citizens as well."

Urjaa Guru Arihant Rishi has been given recently a place in the Central Saint Board of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). This is the first time that a Jain saint got a place in the VHP. Commenting on the joining VHP, Urjaa Guru said that the VHP is doing a good job for the cause of social welfare, so by the association with VHP, I want to do the same. The proponent of the right use of energy, the motivational speaker Urjaa Guru, has done unprecedented work so far. In his name, the Urjaa Guru has two records registered in the Guinness Book of World Records, as well as once his name has been appeared in the Golden Book of Records.

Google has indexed invite links to private WhatsApp group chats, meaning anyone can join various private chat groups (including several porn-sharing groups) with a simple search.

According to a report in Motherboard, invitations to WhatsApp group chats were being indexed by Google.

The team found private groups using specific Google searches and even joined a group intended for NGOs accredited by the UN and had access to all the participants and their phone numbers.

Journalist Jordan Wildon said on Twitter that he discovered that WhatsApp's "Invite to Group Link" feature lets Google index groups, making them available across the internet since the links are being shared outside of WhatsApp's secure private messaging service.

"Your WhatsApp groups may not be as secure as you think they are," Wildon tweeted on Friday, adding that using particular Google searches, people can discover links to the chats.

According to app reverse-engineer Jane Wong, Google has around 470,000 results for a simple search of "chat.whatsapp.com", part of the URL that makes up invites to WhatsApp groups.

WhatsApp spokesperson Alison Bonny said: "Like all content that is shared in searchable public channels, invite links that are posted publicly on the internet can be found by other WhatsApp users."

"The links that users wish to share privately with people they know and trust should not be posted on a publicly accessible website," Bonny told The Verge.

Danny Sullivan, Google's public search liaison, tweeted: "Search engines like Google & others list pages from the open web. That's what's happening here. It's no different than any case where a site allows URLs to be publicly listed. We do offer tools allowing sites to block content being listed in our results."

Mumbai, Jun 12: Following an overwhelming response for the mega rights issue of Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries, the partly paid-up rights shares are set to debut on stock exchanges on June 15.

The biggest ever Rs 53,124 crore rights issue was subscribed 1.59 times and received bids worth Rs 84,000 crore on June 3.

Reliance said the rights issue saw a huge investor interest, including from lakhs of small investors and thousands of institutional investors, both Indian and foreign.

In 2019, Ambani said in the Reliance's annual general meeting that the company will be net zero debt by March 2021. The company is on course to achieve its target ahead of the deadline.

"In spite of the COVID-19 crisis and the lockdowns, the due-diligence by Saudi Aramco for the planned investment in the O2C business is on track as both the parties are committed and actively engaged," he said recently.

"With a strong visibility to these equity infusions, Reliance is set to achieve net zero debt status ahead of its own aggressive timeline. We believe rights issue was a part of the company's strategy of deleveraging its balance sheet," said Ambani.
