AAP demands to know under what rule did BJP Govt give Adani a 200 crore relief
Modi Sarkar has exempted the Adani Group from paying a fine of Rs.200 crores. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has no money to give relief to the starving millions in India but is happy to let his cronies loot our national treasury. The Aam Aadmi Party demands that the Modi Government should explain to the citizens under what rules has this 200 crore exemption been granted to Gautam Adani.
The AAP held a press conference and senior AAP leader Ashish Khetan said that “The farmers of India are facing such desperate times that they have no recourse but suicide, but Modi has no money to grant them relief from the their measly debts. Dal is at Rs.200 a kilo and all prices have hit the roof, but Modi has no money to intervene and rationalize prices. Modi has no money to provide subsidies for Gas usage by common people. However, Narendra Modi has been quick to convince the national treasury to give his friend Gautam Adani a 200 crore relief. A high level committee appointed by the Supreme Court had found an Adani group company guilty of breaking the law. The SC appointed committee recommended that the defaulting company – Adani Ports & SEZ should pay a fine of 200 crore for causing large scale devastation along the Gujarat coast line. It is unfortunate that Modi, in a highly secretive manner, and without any such provision in the law or precedence, has exempted Adani Ports & SEZ from paying this fine. Not only has the fine been exempted but all the orders given by the Honourable Supreme Court regarding compliance to environmental rules have been retracted by the Modi Sarkar.”
Ashish Khetan added that Narendra Modi’s close friendship with Gautam Adani is known across the world. When Modi was the Chief Minister he had given public lands to Gautam Adani at ridiculous rates ranging from a shocking Re.1 to Rs.32 per square metre.
The citizens of the country demand to know why Narendra Modi’s generosity is only showered on Gautam Adani. Why is it that Gautam Adani travels with Narendra Modi on every foreign trip and wins projects across the world? A report states that the wealth of the Adani Group has increased 26 folds in the past two years! Is it true that the alleged 2000 crore that was spent on Narendra Modi’s 2014 elections was paid by Adani and he is getting back that amount, with interest, from our National Treasury?
We demand to know what rule was applied to provide this 200 crore exemption to Gautam Adani and we demand to know why is the national wealth being spent on Gautam Adani by Shri Narendra Modi.

Dhaka terrorists did not belong to ISIS
Bangladeshi Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan maintains that the Islamists killed during a hostage crisis at a Dhaka restaurant were not members of the Islamic State terror group (ISIS/ISIL).
“They are members of the Jamaeytul Mujahdeen Bangladesh,” the minister told AFP, stressing that the terrorists that slaughtered 20 hostages, all of whom were foreigners,“have no connections with the Islamic State.” The Jamaeytul Mujahdeen Islamist group has been banned in Bangladesh for over a decade now.
Since the very beginning of the 11-hour siege that ended in the deaths of 26 people, six of whom were terrorists, the government has consistently denied that any internationally-linked terrorists were operating in Bangladesh. A seventh terrorist was arrested and is currently being interrogated.
Minister Khan specifically noted that most of the gunmen that were killed came from wealthy families and had been well educated.
“They are all highly educated young men and went to university. No one is from a madrassa,”the minister said, explaining that the young men had become Islamic extremists because “it has become a fashion.”

National Policy on Employment ;
National Policy on Employment ; PM Modi : On Q of employment the subject needs national policy but the youths are still not satisfied with employment opportunities. Talking to youths find that government is still not been able to provide jobs to youths and government of further taking stance on startup in form of employment is not direct employment provided. Where is the government is giving employment , is directly proportion to number of people unemployment in the nation.PM Modi on black money abroad is not terror money but ill gotten money which are heavens of tax offenders continue to work for offenders, PM Modi on harping on Social & Economic slogans but in ground realities lay static and unmoved.What ILO said about labour NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT POLICIES – A guide for workers’ organisations v Quick overview A national employment policy is a vision and a practical, comprehensive plan for achieving a country’s employment goals. Countries need them because employment challenges are getting more and more complex: • Demographic trends are putting enormous pressure on labour markets. • Structural change in many countries represents a formidable opportunity as well as a huge challenge, as people move out of the agricultural sector and into the manufacturing or service sectors in the cities. • Economic growth does not automatically translate into more decent jobs and more benefits for the poor. • Informal employment—work that lacks social and legal protections and employment benefits—is still prevalent in the developing world. • Wage inequality is rising across the world, with workers benefitting less from economic growth. • An increasing number of those who work are counted among the working poor. • Secure, full-time employment with benefits is no longer the norm in the developed world. • There are more women in the labour force, but their quality of employment, including wages, working conditions and prestige, still lags behind men. • High youth unemployment is causing increasing numbers of young people to get discouraged and leave the labour market. The need for comprehensive national employment policies has been rising to the top of the agenda globally, especially in the wake of the 2008 world financial crisis. In this part of the guide, we tell you what has been happening, especially in developing countries. Trade unions need to be involved in setting policy directions for employment in their countries. No one speaks better for workers than their unions. But this new role goes well beyond trade unions’ traditional areas of concern and means of action. They will have to widen their agenda to deal with employment issues in a larger economic context. Unions will need stronger capacities to take part meaningfully in complex national policy debates, with well-researched arguments and credible representation from all parts of the labour force. They may need to build coalitions within organized labour in their countries to achieve a national labour voice, and they may need to build coalitions with like-minded organizations outside the labour movement
