Mangaluru, Dec 20: Activists of Bajrang Dal on Sunday evening tried to raid multiplexes at prominent malls in Mangaluru to stop the screening of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dilwale.

The reason for the agitation is the statement made by the King Khan, film's lead actor and producer, against rising 'intolerance' in India last month.

On November 2, Khan had said at a press conference in Mumbai that “religious intolerance and not being secular is the worst kind of crime that you can do as a patriot.”

The protesters gathered in front of Bharat Mall, City Centre Mall and Forum Fiza Mall that house multiplexes and warned to raid the cinemas if the failed to stop the screening of Dilwale.

However, the police managed to convince the Bajrang Dal men to end the protest. Meanwhile, the screening of the movie was also reportedly stopped in view of the security concerns, sources said.

Sharan Pumpwell, state convenor of Bajrang Dal, confirmed that the members of his outfit staged protest at the City Centre Mall, Forum Mall and Bharat Mall.

"We requested the multiplex representatives to stop screening the movie. It was the people of India who made Shah Rukh Khan a superstar and now he is speaking against India in the name of intolerance," he said.

Police said that it was a peaceful protest and nobody was arrested. Aggressive campaigns against Dilwale from Mangaluru have been reported on social networking sites.

New Delhi, Jun 11: The Department of Pharmaceuticals has given its nod for lifting of ban on the export of hydroxychloroquine, Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda said on Wednesday.

India had banned export of hydroxychloroquine on March 25, with some exceptions, amid views in some quarters that the drug could be used to fight COVID-19. On April 4, it completely banned the exports without any exception.

"Department of Pharmaceuticals has approved the lifting of ban on export of Hydroxychloroquine API as well as formulations. Manufacturers except SEZ/EOU Units have to supply 20 per cent production in the domestic market," the minister of chemicals and fertilisers said in a tweet.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has been asked to issue formal notification in this regard, he added.

In another tweet, Gowda said he held discussions with representatives of pharma companies along with some of his ministerial colleagues on the challenges being faced by the industry and on the roadmap to boost exports.

"Had detailed discussion with representatives of pharma companies & association, stakeholder Ministries along with Hon Ministers @piyushGoyal  ji, @HardeepSPuri  ji, & @MansukhMandviya  ji on entire gamut of challenges faced by the industry as well as strategies to boost pharma export," Gowda tweeted.

India exported hydroxychloroquine API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) worth USD 1.22 billion in April-January 2019-20.

During the same period, exports of formulations made from hydroxychloroquine was at USD 5.50 billion.

Bengaluru, Feb 28: BS Yediyurappa’s contribution to the economy is substantial, and he is one CM who has contributed largely to making India the fifth largest economy, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday.

“He will ensure that Karnataka contributes towards making India the third-largest economy in the coming days,” Singh said, who had flown from New Delhi to participate in the CM’s birthday celebrations.

Singh recalled Yediyurappa asking him how to increase welfare measures for farmers, and had suggested that the CM reduce interest rates on loans to help the community. “Yediyurappa took the suggestion seriously and reduced interest of loans to a mere 4 % and gradually reduced it to 1 % before coming down to zero,” Singh said, appreciating Yediyurappa’s love for farmers.
