Despite critical CAG report on military preparedness, Arun Jaitley says 'armed forces sufficiently equipped'

New Delhi: Defence Minister Arun Jaitley on Tuesday said that Indian armed forces are "reasonably and sufficiently equipped" to defend the sovereignty of the country.

The remarks from the Defence Minister came in the wake of a CAG report flagging that the Indian Army was facing a critical shortage of ammunition that can last just 10 days of war.

"Why don't we have arms and ammunition to fight more than 10 days of war," he asked. "The people are concerned. Please do whatever is needed to save the country."

Ripun Bora (Cong) raised the issue through a Zero Hour mention, saying major decisions for procurement taken during 2009 and 2013 by the previous UPA government, have not been approved by the present government.

A Rs 16,500 crore plan prepared by the Defence Ministry too has not yet been implemented, he said, adding the CAG had in its report pointed to "very bad condition of Indian Navy" with 38 accidents taking places in the last few years.

The safety organisation too has not been functional because of lack of approvals, he said.

Jaitley said the CAG report has 2013 as a reference point and there have been follow-ups.

लालू परिवार, घोटाले अपारः बेटियां नहीं हैं बेटों से पीछे- भाग 2

नई दिल्‍ली (स्‍पेशल डेस्‍क)। लालू यादव एंड फैमिली पर लगातार कानून का शिकंजा कड़ा होता जा रहा है। पहले इस जांच के दायरे में पहले जहां लालू के बेटे थे वहीं अब इसकी आंच लालू की बेटियों तक पर आने वाली है। कुछ चीजें जो निकलकर सामने आई हैं उसके मुताबिक आने वाले समय में लालू की बेटियों पर कानून का शिकंजा कस सकता है। हालांकि लालू यादव बार बार इसको भाजपा द्वारा छेड़ी जा रही निजी लड़ाई बता रहे हैं। वहीं सरकार का कहना है कि कानून अपना काम कर रहा है। आईए जानते हैं कैसा है लालू की बेटियों का प्रोफाइल :-

मीसा भारती

उम्र 41 वर्ष,

राज्‍य सभा सांसद

संपत्ति : शपथ पत्र में चार करोड़ रुपये के मूल्‍य की संपत्ति की घोषणा। इसमें करीब 24.3 लाख रुपये की ज्‍वैलरी और कीमती पत्‍थर शामिल। 33 लाख रुपये मूल्‍य की कृषि योग्‍य भूमि। इसके अलावा 50 लाख रुपये की अन्‍य जमीन। लारा डिस्‍ट्रीब्‍यूटर्स प्राइवेट लिमिटेड कंपनी की डायरेक्‍टर

मीसा के नामकरण की कहानी बड़ी ही दिलचस्‍प है। आपातकाल के समय जब लालू को जेल जाना पड़ा था उस वक्‍त जारी मेंटेनेंस ऑफ इंटरनल सिक्‍योरिटी एक्‍ट अर्थात MISA पर ही उनका नाम मीसा रखा गया था। मीसा एमजीएम कॉलेज में एडमिशन के दौरान की खबरों की सुर्खियां बनी थीं, जब उनका एडमिशन टिस्‍को कोटा के तहत वहां करवाया गया था। लेकिन बाद में इसका मिसयूज होने के चलते यह कोटा खत्‍म कर दिया गया। इसके बाद पटना मेडिकल कॉलेज से जब उन्‍होंने टॉप किया तब भी वह खबरों में आई थीं। हालांकि उन्‍होंने कभी भी प्रैक्टिस नहीं की। कुछ समय के लिए वह बिहार की सीएम राबड़ी देवी की सलाहकार के तौर पर भी सामने आई थीं। इसके अलावा उनका नाम राबड़ी देवी के भाई साधू यादव और सुभाष यादव प्रकरण में भी सामने आया था। मीसा को पार्टी ने 2014 में लोकसभा चुनाव में पाटलीपुत्र से अपना उम्‍मीद्वार बनाया था लेकिन उन्‍हें हार का सामना करना पड़ा था।

राेहिणी आचार्य

उम्र : 39 वर्ष

बिजनेस : पता नहीं

मीसा की ही तरह रोहिणी का भी एडमिशन एमजीएम कॉलेज, जमशेदपुर में किया गया था। उसके लिए भी टिस्‍को का कोटा कार्ड खेला गया था। 2002 में रोहिणी की शादी समरेश सिंह के साथ हुई, जो कि एक अमेरिकी कंपनी में कंप्‍यूटर इंजीनियर था। उसके पिता आयकर विभाग में कमिश्‍नर के पद पर रह चुके थे। यह उस वक्‍त सुर्खियों में आई थी जब उनके अंकल साधू यादव और सुभाष यादव ने पटना के कार शोरूम से नई चमचमाती कारों को अपने बारातियों के स्‍वागत सत्‍कार के लिए सड़कों पर उतार दिया था। रोहिण्‍ाी और उनकी बेटी आर्याना हालांकि कम ही दिखाई देते हैं। लेकिन परिवार के हर समारोह में वह शरीक होते हैं। रोहिणी किसी तरह के बिजनेस से जुड़ी है इस बारे में जानकारी फिलहाल न के ही बराबर है।

PM Benjamin Netanyahu denounces EU's repeated criticism of Israel as an 'anomaly'

Budapest: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday denounced Brussels' repeated criticism of Israel as an "anomaly" and called on Europe to reassess its relationship with the Jewish state.

The EU has repeatedly condemned Israel's building of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and crackdown on civil society groups critical of the government.

Both men are right-wingers enamoured of US President Donald Trump and with a disdain for the left-leaning liberal global order bankrolled, as they see it, by the likes of US Jewish billionaire George Soros.

Netanyahu's trip comes at a sensitive time for Orban, who is under fire at home over his running battle against Hungarian-born Soros and praise of a Hungarian Nazi-allied wartime leader.

Many in Hungary's 100,000-strong Jewish population - one Europe's largest - have accused Orban, in power since 2010, of turning a blind eye to anti-Semitism or even encouraging it to stave off growing support for the far-right.

However Netanyahu defended Orban yesterday, insisting that Hungary, as the birthplace of modern political Zionism founder Theodor Herzl, was "at the forefront" of countries fighting anti-Zionism.
