THE MAN WHO KILLED "FATHER OF NATION" IS NOW "GOD OF NATION".

A temple for Nathuram Godse: Hindu Mahasabha lays foundation stone in Gwalior office.

Gwalior district administration's refusal to permit construction of a temple in the name of Mahatma Gandhi's killer Nathuram Godse has not stopped Hindu Mahasabha from laying the foundation stone for the same.
The foundation stone was laid in Hindu Mahasabha's Daulatganj office area. A statue has already been put up in the office to which floral tributes were paid today.
Nathuram Godse who was convicted for killing the father of the nation was hanged to death on November 15, 1949 and his supporters observed the day as 'sacrifice day.'

The Hindu Maha Sabha had earlier applied for land for a temple that they proposed to build in the name of Nathuram Godse. The application for the land was rejected by the district administration.
According to Jaiveer Bhardwaj of the Maha Sabha, a decision to construct the temple in the Daulatganj area has been taken after the district administration rejected its application for land for the same.
Madhya Pradesh leader of opposition Ajay Singh has hit out at Chief Minister Shivraj Singh alleging that the government was providing tacit support to the killers of the father of the nation. "The chief Minister has the name of Mahatma Gandhi on his lips but in his heart he has Godse. How else is it possible that the supporters of Godse are openly laying a foundation stone for a temple in his name," Ajay Singh, in a written communication issued to the press, said.

Big Demolition Drive Near Minara Masjid, No Action Against ‘Minara Mansion’!

      The BMC took up a massive demolition drive at Minara Masjid area after the fire incident occurred today early in the Minara Mansion building in which one Tanzania female citizen was hurt. Now it has become a common trade of our BMC department that after the incident only their eyes open and they take action. Kamala Mills Tragedy is fresh example of the BMC’s negligence.

  

     
      “The demolition drive by ‘B’ ward started since morning, and the civic body cracked down on illegal encroachments and all illegal extensions of the 50 years old stalls, in the road side shopping hub of Minara Masjid, but I am not satisfied with this demolition drive because the main reason for the fire incident is illegal building ‘Minara Mansion’ which is totally illegal, Bmc didn’t look at this building why? A local resident asked the Bmc, but no answer was from the Bmc side, it means bmc is supporting the main culprit of the incident and taking action against poor hawkers and 50 years old license holders, which is not correct” Said one of the local residents of the area on the condition of anonymity.

According to the local citizens of the area, ‘Minara Mansion’ is illegally built by “Dawood Lakdawala” there is also ‘Al Safa’ hotel in which foreign tourist stay over there, both of them violated the Fire Norms and Bmc rules but surprisingly government agencies have kept blind eyes and action against poor people. Local also demanded action against the Builder and Hotel owner, make a inquiry Committee and set up a investigation team.

Mumbai: Illegal shops razed at Minara Masjid after fire brigade can’t reach spot

Mumbai: The Nagpada ward of the BMC on Thursday demolished 25 to 30 illegal shops at Minara Masjid. This action has come after a small fire erupted in Minara Mansion building opposite masjid on Wednesday early morning 6 am, the fire brigade team was unable to reach the fire incident place due to a number of shops over there.

Udaykumar Shirookar, the Assistant Commissioner of Nagpada civic ward, stated that they have observed that due to these shops the fire-fighting team was finding it difficult to conduct the rescue operation. “Even the fire- tenders were having no place to make their way to the spot.

Therefore, after the civic officials inspected the site and found them illegal the structures been razed. During the demolition drive, 25 civic employees were present. Also, six Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) been confiscated which were kept illegally in these shops,” added Shiroorkar.

While the residents question on BMC’s action on demolition by raising questions on how the stalls and shops got licences and the BMC negligent over the fact that the building of the Minara Masjid is illegal itself.

BUDGET 2017. REFORMS IN TAXATION.

The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the Finance Bill, completing the budgetary exercise for 2017-18. Since the Finance Bill is a Money Bill, it needs only to be cleared by the Lok Sabha. Starting from April 1, 2017, some income tax laws will change. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had announced a number of income tax changes in Budget 2017. In addition, some amendments were also introduced in the Finance Bill that was passed by the Lok Sabha. Here are some of the changes that income tax payers should note:

1) The tax rate on income between Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 5 lakh will get halved to 5 per cent from 10 per cent. However, rebate under Section 87A gets reduced from Rs 5,000 to Rs. 2,500. And no rebate will be applicable for taxpayers having income above Rs 3.5 lakh. This means tax savings of up to Rs 7,700 for those with a taxable income between Rs 3 lakh and Rs 5 lakh. And for persons with taxable income between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 50 lakh, tax savings of Rs. 12,900.

2) A 10 per cent surcharge will be applicable for individuals having income ranging from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore (existing surcharge of 15 per cent will remain the same for individuals having income above Rs 1 crore.)

3) A simple one-page form will be introduced for filing tax return for individuals having a taxable income up to Rs 5 lakh other than business income.

4) No deduction will be allowed for investment in Rajiv Gandhi Equity Saving Scheme from Assessment Year 2018-19. This tax-saving scheme, announced in the Union Budget for financial year 2012-13, was designed exclusively for the first-time individual investors in the securities market with gross total income below a certain limit.

5) Income tax officials can reopen tax cases for up to 10 years if search operations reveal undisclosed income and assets of over Rs 50 lakh. Currently, tax officers can go back up to six years to scrutinise the books of accounts of assessees. Taxpayers who do not file their returns on time will have to shell out a penalty of up to Rs 10,000 from Assessment Year 2018-19. However, if the total income of the person does not exceed Rs 5 lakh, the fee payable under this section shall not exceed Rs 1,000.

6) The holding period of a property for qualifying as long-term gains will be reduced to two years, from three years. This will help save tax if a property is sold within two years of buying. The profit from the transaction will be treated as short-term capital gains and will be taxed according to the slab rate applicable to him/her.

7) The government has cut down tax benefits borrowers enjoyed on properties let out on rent. As per current tax laws, for properties rented out, a borrower could deduct the entire interest paid on home loan after adjusting for the rental income. On the other hand, borrowers of self-occupied properties get a deduction of Rs 2 lakh on interest repayment on home loan. But on rented properties, the borrower can only claim a deduction of up to Rs 2 lakh per year after adjusting for the rental income. And the amount above Rs 2 lakh can be carried forward for eight assessment years. Since the interest component of home loan repaid in initial years is higher, experts say that the borrower may not be able to fully adjust the interest paid as deduction even in subsequent years.

8) Individuals will be required to deduct a 5 per cent TDS (tax deducted at source) for rental payments above Rs 50,000 per month. Tax experts say that the move will ensure that persons who get a large rental income come into the tax net. It will be effective from June 1, 2017.

9) Partial withdrawals from National Pension System (NPS) will not attract tax. According to the proposed changes, NPS subscribers can withdraw 25 per cent of their contribution to the corpus for emergencies before retirement. Remember that withdrawal of 40 per cent of the corpus is tax-free on retirement.

10) Aadhaar number will be a must while applying for PAN as well as filing of income tax returns from July 1. To curb black money, the limit on cash transactions has been set at Rs 2 lakh. The Finance Bill had originally proposed the cap at Rs 3 lakh. If a person receives any sum in contravention of the tax law, he/she will be liable to pay, by way of penalty, a sum equal to the amount.

13 Surprising Health Benefits of Garlic

13 Surprising Health Benefits of Garlic

 
Try garlic for these unexpected health benefits, who-knew beauty uses, and hidden home repairs.

●• Grow Beautiful Hair with garlic.

Garlic could end your hair loss problems because of its high levels of allicin, a sulfur compound similar to that found in onions, which were found to effectively treat hair loss. Rub sliced cloves of garlic on your scalp, squeezing as you go for the most benefit. You can also infuse oil with garlic and massage it into your scalp.

●• Garlic clears Acne.

It might not be a main ingredient in your drugstore acne medication, but garlic makes a great natural remedy to banish unsightly blemishes. Its antioxidants kill bacteria, so rub a sliced clove of garlic on the pimple for an effective topical treatment.

●• Garlic Prevents And Treats Colds.

Packed with antioxidants, a daily dose of garlic in your recipes could benefit your immune system. If a cold does sneak by, try sipping garlic tea: steep chopped or minced garlic in hot water for several minutes, then strain and drink. You can add a bit of honey or ginger to improve the taste.

●• Soothe psoriasis with garlic.

Since garlic has proven anti-inflammatory properties, it could be useful in relieving uncomfortable psoriasis outbreaks. Try rubbing a little garlic oil on the affected area for smooth, rash-free skin.

●• Contol Your Weight With Garlic.

Garlic could help you control your weight, according to nutritionist Cynthia Sass, who cites a study that showed mice eating a garlic-rich diet reduced their weight and fat stores. To take advantage of this benefit, try to cook with garlic daily.

●• Remove a Splinter With Garlic.

Placing a slice of garlic over the sliver and covering it with a bandage or duct tape has been a folk cure for years. As natural remedies gain in popularity, current bloggers swear this one works.

●• Treat athlete's foot With Garlic.

With its anti-fungal properties, some people swear that a benefit of garlic is its ability to relieve itchy athlete's foot. Soak your feet in a bath of warm water and crushed garlic.

●• Keep Away mosquitoes With Garlic.

Scientists aren't sure why, but mosquitoes don't seem to like garlic. One study in India found that people who rubbed a garlicky concoction on their arms and legs weren't bothered by the pesky buggers. Make a solution of garlic oil, petroleum jelly, and beeswax for a natural repellant or place cloves of garlic nearby.

●• Garlic Conquers Cold Sores.

A popular cold sore home remedy involves holding a bit of crushed garlic directly on the cold sore; its natural anti-inflammatory properties could help reduce pain and swelling. Garlic supplements may also speed up the healing process, according to ecosalon.com.

●• Garlic Works As a Natural Glue.

Have you ever noticed how sticky your fingers get after chopping garlic? That natural adhesive quality is why some people use garlic to fix hairline cracks in glass. Crush some cloves and rub the juice on the crack, wiping away any excess.

●• De-ice Your sidewalk With Garlic.

A town in Iowa used donated garlic salt to remove ice from roadways. Next time you stumble on old garlic salt in the back of your spice cabinet, save it for an icy walkway.

●• Protect Plants with Garlic.

Garden pests don't like garlic, so make a natural pesticide using garlic, mineral oil, water, and liquid soap. Pour into a spray bottle and mist your plants to keep away destructive critters.

●• Catch more fish With Garlic.

Fish are so attracted to the scent of garlic that you can buy bait with the smell built in. Or, get this benefit by making your own using food scraps and, of course, plenty of cloves.
