Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam will on Thursday meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to urge him to promulgate an ordinance to lift the ban on bull taming sport, Jallikattu. Pannerselvam flew to New Delhi on Wednesday night to discuss the prospects of bringing about such an ordinance. He also requested the youth and protesters to give up their agitation over the issue. "Tamil Nadu Government will continue to take necessary steps to ensure holding of Jallikattu- CM O.Panneerselvam (sic)," the AIADMK tweeted. More than 4,000 protesters, mostly students, converged Marina beach demanding for the removal of ban on Jallikattu. They are also seeking a ban on the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which has antagonised the people for having anti-Jallikaatu stand. The call for a ban on PETA also resonated within the AIADMK, with general secretary Sasikala Natarajan leading the chorus for it. "Centre should promulgate an ordinance for revoking the ban on Jallikattu. We will adopt all legal measures to ban PETA," said Natarajan. Anguished by the continuing ban on Jallikattu for the third year in a row, people in some villages in Madurai district also observed a "Black Pongal." They hoisted black flags and held processions condemning PETA and demanded that the Centre to take steps to conduct Jallikattu. Last week, the Supreme Court rejected a plea seeking to allow Jallikattu played during the Pongal festival in Tamil Nadu. An apex court bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and R Banumathi told a group of lawyers, who requested for the verdict, that it is unfair to ask the bench to pass an order. The court had earlier in 2014 banned Jallikattu on grounds of animal cruelty. With agency inputs.

'Note ban process began in Jan 2016'
Reserve Bank chief Urjit Patel today told a parliamentary panel that the process of demonetisation started in January last year.

RBI, government began talks on demonetisation in January 2016: Urjit Patel timesofindia.indiatimes.com

RBI Board 'advised' to approve demonetisation at day's notice
New Delhi: In a revelation about how the crucial decision on demonetisation of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 notes was taken by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) at a day's notice, RBI Governor Urjit Patel on Wednesday told a Parliamentary Committee that the apex bank had been "advised" by the government on November 7 to hold a board meeting on the issue. Sources told IANS that Patel was asked several questions by opposition MPs on demonetisation. Answering one such query, Patel said the government had advised that the central board of the Reserve Bank may consider withdrawing legal tender status of high denomination notes of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500. The demonetisation decision was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8 following a meeting of the RBI board and also of the union cabinet. Patel is learnt to have told the committee that the bank was in talks with the government on demonetisation since early last year. Patel was also asked about the value of demonetised currency which has come back to the banks, and is learnt to have said that the committee will be apprised of the figure in due course. He was also asked about withdrawal limit of Rs 24,000 per week. The committee is likely to get written answers to some of the questions raised on Wednesday and Patel may again appear before the committee next month. Opposition parties have severely criticised the government over the manner in which the decision has been implemented. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, a member of the committee, told IANS that at the Wednesday meeting, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh defended the RBI Governor by suggesting to him not to answer Congress leader Digvijay Singh's query on whether there could be chaos if the existing restrictions on cash withdrawals are removed. "Yes, he (Manmohan Singh) did help the RBI governor (on the issue) but the remarks were removed from the minutes," Dubey said. Earlier, Patel also told the Standing Committee on Finance that Rs 9.2 lakh crore of new currency notes have been put in circulation since the high-value currency notes were demonetised on November 8. The RBI has still not declared how much of the Rs 15.44 lakh crore in banned notes has been returned to the banks.

Patel, who along with other RBI and finance ministry officials appeared before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance, was put to some tough questions by members, sources in the committee said. He could not reply to questions like when normalcy would be back in the banking system and how much of demonetised currency was deposited during the 50-day window. Before further grilling could start, Singh, who made a forceful speech against demonetisation in Rajya Sabha calling it a "monumental failure and organised loot", intervened to say that the central bank and the Governors position as an institution should be respected. He should not be put to odd questions, Singh, who himself was RBI Governor once, is believed to have told the Committee. Singh is understood to have told Patel that he need not answer a question put by one of the members relating to non-removal of cash withdrawal restrictions.

"Both leaders discussed the progress they have made on shared economic and security priorities, including recognition of India as a major defense partner of the United States and addressing the global challenge of climate change," it said. Obama was one of the first leaders to congratulate Modi after his electoral victory in May 2014 and immediately invited him to visit the White House. The two leaders met at the White House in September 2014. Since then they have met each other for eight times. This is a record for leaders between India and America. According to Assistant Secretary of State for South and central Asia Nisha Desai Biswal, the two leaders share a very warm relationship. "They have a great deal of personal camaraderie. But they also have a great deal of respect for each other for the leadership and the values and the integrity of each others approach," Biswal told PTI in a recentl interview. "You have seen from President Obama that appreciation of Prime Minister Modi in words that he has used to describe him including in that Time magazine profile of the Prime Minister. You have seen that Prime Minister Modis appreciation of President Obama, of his values, his leadership style which the Prime Minister has used to describe the President," she said. She said that it is not a relationship that just came about that day when President called Prime Minister-elect Modi to congratulate him. "The seeds of this relationship were actually sown many many decades earlier," Biswal had said.
