May 5: Following the rape-murder of Jisha in Kerala, actor Priya Mani has sparked off a controversy on the microblogging site Twitter by urging women in India to leave the country.

Reacting to the Bengaluru abduction and Kerala rape incidents, the 31-year-old actor tweeted, "Appalled and shocked to read about yet another tragic rape and murder! i don't think India is safe anymore for women #JusticeForJisha".

Twitterati started reacting to her tweets, and while some called her "Aamir Khan's sister", some asked her to get out of the country, and some others took a hit at her glamourous scenes in films.

Later, the actor came up with an explanation: "I have only expressed my feelings towards the untoward incidents which have occurred and r still occurring!how is this anti India??READ!!"

Priya Mani also tweeted about being called "anti-Indian" by some.

Jisha was a 28-year-old LLB student who was allegedly subjected to rape and brutal assault before being murdered in Perumbavoor of Ernakulam district.

The crime has been dubbed as 'Kerala's Nirbhaya' for its chilling similarities to the gangrape incident of a paramedic student in Delhi in 2012.

These are not anti India statements, but view it as feeling of expression on helpless situation.. Amir khan also expressed same feelings....Mothers express such words towards their children , if they are frustrated by saying \ I will throw you out of my home' or ' I will throw you to fox' etc ... nobody feel any mother will do such things to her child...."

She is concerned about India...once it was good...now going bad to worst...very bad...sometimes our politicians are also supporting rapists...that is very very bad....law should be enacted to get highest punishment to criminals...should show no mercy at all....

Nobody wants to go out from India...it is a best country...it is our job to protest when there is discrimination happening around...criminal activity going unabated....no criminals should let go freely...

New Delhi, Feb 2: Budget 2020 announcement that insurance behemoth LIC will be listed was well received by market participants who said this will be "IPO of the decade" akin to the Saudi Aramco listing.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) will be listed as part of the government disinvestment initiative.

A "highlight of the budget is the LIC IPO, which is akin to the Saudi Aramco listing for Indian capital markets, and will be IPO of the decade," Vijay Bhushan, President, Association of National Exchanges Members of India (ANMI) said.

According to Krishna Kumar Karwa, Managing Director, Emkay Global Financial Services, the LIC IPO will be a big positive for corporate governance and transparency and will open up one more avenue for fund raising for the government over the years.

Metropolitan Stock Exchange, Interim CEO, Balu Nair said: "The LIC listing will be eagerly awaited by investors and will provide huge fillip to capital raising through the primary market." The government proposes to sell a part of its holding in LIC through an initial public offer, Sitharaman said while presenting Budget 2020-21.

"The government will sell part of LIC through its listing in the stock market which is also a positive trigger for the market," Amit Gupta, CO-Founder and CEO, TradingBells.

Jaideep Hansraj, MD and CEO of Kotak Securities said listing of LIC would help bridge a gap in the Fiscal Deficit for FY21.

Currently, the government owns the entire 100 per cent stake in LIC.

Saudi Aramco shares were listed in December last year.

Belagavi, Jan 17: Maharashtra Minister of State for Public Health, Medical Education, FDA and Textiles Rajendra Patil-Yadravkar who had come here to participate in the martyrs day programme of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) was detained by the police and escorted back till the state borders on Friday.

MES had organised its annual martyrs day programme at Hutatma Circle here. Its leaders had earlier been asked by the District Administration and City Police to ensure that none of the political leaders from Maharashtra participate and create law and order problems by their anti-state statements.

Patil had managed to sneak into the city through a route which was not manned by the police. He came in an auto-rickshaw to the programme venue.

Police personnel present for security took him into their custody and later escorted him till the state’s borders with Maharashtra at Kognoli on the Pune-Bengaluru national highway.

MES leaders alleged that the police personnel violated protocol while taking the incumbent minister into their custody and they also roughed him up.

All vehicles entering the city from different routes and particularly from Maharashtra were screened to confirm that political leaders from the neighbouring state do not participate in the martyrs day programme and create problems by their statements that also affect law and order along with linguistic harmony.

It was not known if Patil had landed in the city on Thursday and managed to reach the programme venue without getting noticed by using an auto-rickshaw.
