<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Ranchi: </b>RJD supremo Lalu Prasad was on Saturday sentenced to 14 years in jail and fined Rs 60 lakh by a special CBI court in the fourth fodder scam case pertaining to fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 3.13 crore from the Dumka treasury in the early 1990s, a CBI counsel said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
CBI judge Shiv Pal Singh awarded two sentences of seven years each to the former Bihar chief minister under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Prevention of Corruption Acts, he said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prabhat Kumar, Lalu Prasad's counsel, told journalists that he will appeal to a higher court against the judgment.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Minutes are the court pronounced the sentence, Lalu’s son and heir apparent Tejashwi Yadav said he feared for his father’s life. “We will challenge it in High Court. We will decide further strategy on the basis of overall judgement in all four cases. I am sure there is threat to his (Lalu’s) life looking at the conspiracy being planned by the BJP,” Tejashwi said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prasad has been serving the prison term in Birsa Munda Jail in Ranchi since December 23 last year after being convicted in the second fodder scam case pertaining to illegal withdrawal of money from the Deogarh treasury.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The RJD supremo is currently undergoing treatment at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi, where he was admitted last week after he complained of chest pain and discomfort in jail.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>V</b></span>irat Kohli has decided to go the extra yard to prepare for the upcoming England tour after the IPL. The Indian captain has opted for a short county stint after the IPL to help prepare for the Test series which begins on August 1, the Times of India have reported. 
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kohli, who will turn out for Surrey in June and play his home games at the historic Kia Oval in London will be the first Indian to join their roster.

Important for celebrities to speak up, bring change: Deepika Padukone

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--btmYkrq_5g/WrYZhdAfgmI/AAAAAAAAKZg/MmKTrr2m3vIPx9K3mUI1f6jleSTBaw5OQCLcBGAs/s1600/deepika.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--btmYkrq_5g/WrYZhdAfgmI/AAAAAAAAKZg/MmKTrr2m3vIPx9K3mUI1f6jleSTBaw5OQCLcBGAs/s640/deepika.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>New Delhi, March 24 (IANS): </b>As multiple Bollywood films are celebrating how weaknesses can be turned into strengths, leading actress Deepika Padukone says it is important for celebrities to use their place of influence and power to bring about change in society.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I think it is extremely important for those who are in positions of influence or power to bring about social change. It is extremely important for them to speak up about whatever issue it might be,” Deepika told IANS in interview.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of late, film actors and filmmakers are attempting storylines which have a strong underlying message that can bring change in society. The latest example is Rani Mukerji’s “Hichki”, which talks about how a woman with Tourette Syndrome, a neuropsychiatric disorder, makes it her strength and becomes a teacher.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deepika, one of Bollywood’s top-earning actresses, believes people can see if you do not have genuine connect or if it is not authentic.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“For many years, people always said, ‘You know you are successful, you should do work in social sectors as well or associate with an NGO’. There were so many options (for me), but I didn’t feel like I was being honest to them.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It didn’t come naturally to me until I came across mental health, also because of my personal experience,” said the actress, who had earlier opened up about her battle with depression.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She feels speaking up for a cause has to be an “organic” process.

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I don’t think there is any fixed time as to when one should do it. I think you should do it when you feel it is right.”
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deepika was here along with her mother and younger sister to launch a report on Public Perception Towards Mental Health in India by her foundation The Live Love Laugh Foundation (TLLLF), which aims to reduce the stigma around mental health.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report’s findings indicate that a majority of people feel that mental illness is still considered a severe disorder like schizophrenia and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But are celebrities not more prone to depression and stress, especially when they are constantly under the scanner, more so with the emergence of social media?
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“No. I think I have understood the correlation between consumption of social media and when it helps. I always believed that whatever you consume, you consume in moderation.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If you consume too much, it could have various sorts of impact, not just on your mental health but physical health too. I know people who are up at social media in the wee hours and probably letting it eat up their sleep time.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“As long as anything that you consume, whether it is social media or otherwise, is done in moderation, and you are aware about your social health, I think you are on the right path,” said the 32-year-old.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of the day, the only thing that matters to her is “peace of mind”.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deepika said she wants to see India as the happiest nation in the world.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“My vision for the Foundation is that we become the happiest country in the world. I see Bhutan having their happiness minister, and even some of the Scandinavian countries have the highest rate of mental happiness and I want India to be there, sooner or later,” she signed off.
</div>

<b>Lucknow, Feb 26 (PTI)</b> Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya today expressed confidence that the BJP would sweep the March 11 bypolls to the Gorakhpur and Phulpur Lok Sabha seats.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bypolls were necessitated after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Maurya vacated the Gorakhpur and Phulpur seats respectively, following their election to the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Council.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The lotus (BJP's poll symbol) will bloom in both the seats. I have no doubt about this. The very fact that people are talking mostly about the BJP's winning margin is itself an indicator that the party is going to win.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"You can be rest assured that we are going to improve our margin in both the seats," Maurya told PTI in an interview here today.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Taking a jibe at the opposition, he said, "As soon as the bye-elections were announced, the opposition parties started discussing the victory margin. This is a clear indication that the lotus will bloom in Gorakhpur and Phulpur." 
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The deputy chief minister, a former president of the state BJP, said as far as the vote-share was concerned, "60 per cent is ours and the rest is for the others to share".
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On whether he wanted one of his family members to contest from Phulpur, Maurya said, "Party workers, owing to their affection towards me, floated the idea that someone from my family should contest the bypolls.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"However, I am a kaaryakarta-waadi (workers-centric) person, and not a parivaar-waadi (believer in dynastic politics). I am a member of the BJP's big family." 
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Referring to the BJP's winning show in the 2014 general election and 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, he expressed confidence that the "lotus will bloom in 2018 (bypolls) and it will lay a strong foundation for the 2019 Lok Sabha election".
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bye-elections are expected to witness a triangular contest between the ruling BJP, the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The saffron party has fielded Kaushalendra Singh Patel from Phulpur and Upendra Dutt Shukla from Gorakhpur against the SP's Pravin Nishad and Nagendra Pratap Singh Patel respectively.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sureetha Kareem is the Congress candidate from Gorakhpur. The party has fielded Manish Mishra from Phulpur.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Voters are very clear as regards which party can usher in development, provide jobs, ensure safety and a robust law-and-order situation in the state. They know that it is the BJP, which is a pro-poor political party, is working to ensure that the benefits of development reach the last person, and also that it can take a tough stand against corruption," Maurya said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the BJP, Gorakhpur is significant as it is the bastion of the chief minister, who has represented the seat in the Lok Sabha five times. Prior to Adityanath, the seat was thrice represented in Parliament by his mentor Avaidyanath.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phulpur, on the other hand, was once the bastion of the Congress and represented by India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. It had, for the first time, witnessed a saffron surge in the 2014 Lok Sabha election, when Maurya won the seat.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Voting for the bypolls will be held on March 11 and the results will be declared on March 14.

Bombay HC refuses to defer deadline to link Aadhaar with ration card

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Mumbai, Feb 25 (PTI) </b>The Bombay High Court has refused to defer the March 31 deadline imposed by the Union government for linking Aadhaar to ration card. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A bench of justices Shantanu Kemkar and Rajesh Ketkar, however, directed the Maharashtra government to look into the grievances of technological glitches faced by residents of the state in the digitisation of their ration card, and subsequently, in linking it to their Aadhaar card.

The bench was hearing a petition filed by Nashik resident Aziz Pathan. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the plea filed in 2015, the Maharashtra government issued a resolution notifying a scheme for digitisation of ration cards.

The scheme was launched in compliance with an order of the apex court and was aimed at streamlining and bringing about more transparency in the public distribution system (PDS).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The scheme includes digitisation of ration cards, installation of electronic point of sale devices at fair price shops and issuance of food grains through biometric authentication. It stipulates including the beneficiaries' Aadhaar numbers in their ration card database.

However, according to the plea, several beneficiaries from Nashik district were facing problems in the digitisation of their ration card, and their biometric authentication. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pathan said there were inconsistencies in the biometric machines and the upgraded ration cards of several residents of Nashik bore incorrect names, addresses, and employment and caste details.

He said because of these inconsistencies, the residents were facing difficulties in linking their Aadhaar cards with ration cards and as a result, the linking process was getting delayed.

Pathan urged the court to grant an interim relief by deferring the March 31 deadline, and directing the state government to ensure the affected citizens did not lose out on receiving food grain subsidies and other benefits under the PDS, if they failed to link the ration cards with the Aadhaar by March 31 this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bench, however, refused to defer the deadline saying that going by Pathan's plea, it seemed the problem was limited to Nashik district alone.

The court asked Pathan to approach the state authorities for redressal of his grievance. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bench also directed the Maharashtra government's food, civil supplies and consumer protection department to grant an urgent hearing to Pathan, and to address his grievance within a week's time.

The bench, on February 23, directed the department to look into the reasons for such frequent mistakes in the digitisation process across Nashik. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We are of the opinion that the grievance is mainly restricted to Nashik district. We think the petitioner can approach the food supplies department in Mantralaya (the state secretariat) and make a representation there and apprise the authorities of the issues faced by citizens in his district," the bench said. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The secretary of the department concerned must also treat this petition as a representation and look into the problems faced by the residents in the digitisation of their ration cards," the bench said.

"We expect the secretary to take appropriate decision expeditiously and within a maximum period of one week," it said.</div>
