Accompanied by Inspector General of BSF, Jammu Frontier, D K Uphadhyaya and top BSF officers, Akshay visited BSF martyr memorial.

Akshay, 49, arrived here this morning from Delhi to spent time with BSF jawans.

"I am fortunate that I got the opportunity to come and meet you. I have always said that I'm a reel hero, you (BSF jawans) are the real heroes. I play with toy guns in films but you with original guns on borders. Really, you are big hearted," Akshay said.

"You (BSF) jawans should have been here (at the stage) and I should have been at your place."

Amid slogans, actor said he had wished to meet BSF jawans. "Today I thank BSF for giving me opportunity to meet you all."

Earlier, the actor, whose father was also an army man, had donated Rs 9 lakh to the family of a martyred BSF jawan Gurnaam Singh.

This donation came days after his earlier donation of Rs 80 lakh to the army.

"They are decorated with a lot of medals and that is good. The samman (honour) was required for them but they need the money too. You have to be practical."

The jawans queued up to meet Akshay and clicked pictures with him.

"He is not only best actor but a patriotic Indian who has cares for the armed forces. We are humbled with his presence among us. It is a good moral boost," a BSF officer said.

The actor also called for restoration of peace along the Indo-Pak border in J&K.

"Peace is the most important thing because a lot of lives are lost -- both civilian and soldiers. I think peace is the only way out," Akshay said.

Asked if he wants to give any message to Pakistan, he said that it is not political (function).

"We are not discussing fights, we are discussing love. We are discussing things about BSF," he said.

Akshay said a mobile application should be developed to help BSF. "There are a lot of people in India who want to help BSF and army martyrs. Why cannot we make such an App, in which the names of martyrs of BSF and army, their account numbers and that of their parents are displayed."

Actor Rajinikanth defends Govt on CAA, says it won't affect Indian Muslims

News Network

February 5,2020

Chennai, Feb 5: The popular cine actor Rajinikanth has defended the Union Government on the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying it will not affect the Indian Muslims.

In a brief interaction with reporters this morning in Chennai, the matinee idol said if the Muslims are affected by the CAA, he would be at the forefront in their defence. He asked how will the legislation affect the Indian Muslims when they chose to stay back in the country to make it their motherland. Mr Rajinikanth also supported the National Population Register saying it has been in force even in the past.

On the NRC, Mr Rajinikanth said the Government has already made it clear that its nationwide rollout has not been even discussed so far. Mr Rajinikanth is nourishing political ambitions and has made it clear that he would plunge into politics ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections in the state which is due in 2021.

This law violates the fundamentals of the Indian constitution. Whey they are seeing the Muslims angle first?

It looks that they are misinforming the public by diverting into a Muslim only issue. If that was the case, why so many non-Muslims are protesting? I looks like Rajini has back-end support to the center's CAA move.

He is another crack, hamare desh main pagal logon ki kami nahi

What can expect from ex KSRTC bus conductor

clear sign of ZERO knowedge with Indian constitution.

Mumbai, Mar 7: A 'farm-to-fork' themed restaurant 'He-Man' situated on National Highway in Haryana's Karnal -- franchised by veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra -- has been sealed for building law violations, officials said on Saturday.

The Karnal Municipal Corporation sealed the franchise outlet on Friday for not furnishing the change of land use (CLU) certificate and illegal constructions, an official said.

The restaurant is located on National Highway 44 on the outskirts of Karnal, some 150 km from here.

The franchise was given to Delhi-based businessman Pramod Kumar.

"After the success of my restaurant Garam Dharam Dhaba, I am now announcing a farm-to- fork themed restaurant 'He-Man'," Dharmendra had announced on Instagram after its launch on Valentine's Day.

Karnal Deputy Commissioner Nishant Yadav said the action was initiated as the restaurant owner did not respond to MC notice on the issue.
