Govt hopeful of NIA visit to PakNEW DELHI, Apr 18:
Amid thaw in Indo-Pak relations, Union Minister Kiren Rijijutoday said the Government was hopeful a team of NationalInvestigation Agency will soon visit the neighbouring country togather evidence in connection with the Pathankot terror attack.
“We are hopeful that a team of NIA will visit Pakistan soon,”the Minister of State for Home said.
Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit had indicated lastfortnight that Indian investigators may not be allowed to visitPakistan to pursue the probe in connection with the Pathankotattack.
However, India countered it by saying that before the visit of aPakistani Joint Investigation Team here last month, both sides hadagreed that it would be on the basis of reciprocity.
Official sources said Pakistan has backtracked from its promiseto allow the Indian team’s visit there to probe the January 2Pathankot terror attack case apparently after finding that NIA hasenough evidence to nail ISI’s links with terrorists involved in it.
Basit had also said that at present the peace process betweenIndia and Pakistan is “suspended”. (PTI)
Under fire for 'selfie' act, Pankaja Munde hits back at Oppn
MUMBAI, Apr 18:
Maharashtra Minister PankajaMunde today came under attackfrom ruling ally Shiv Sena as wellas the opposition for clicking self-ies while on a visit to drought-hitMarathwada, but she defendedherself saying she took pictures outof elation on seeing water in atrench in the dried up river.
Munde, who is RuralDevelopment minister, came underthe line of fire from across thepolitical spectrum for clicking self-ies while she was at a village indrought hit Latur yesterday, forreviewing the desilting work inManjara river, which has nearlydried up.
While the Shiv Sena tookpot-shots at Munde saying thatsuch photo sessions could havebeen avoided, the OppositionCongress and the NCP said thatshe has mocked the drought-affected farmers by such a"shameful act."
Undeterred by the attack,Munde said it was out of "content-ment" of seeing water in the trenchdue to the desliting work that she
took selfies."I have taken several review
meetings on the drought condi-tion in Latur. Have made effortsto dig trenches at various placesso that water could be fetchedfrom them. But met with failuremost of the times. Yesterday,while I was in Latur to take stockof the Manjara river, I saw somewater which gave me a feeling ofcontentment," Munde said in astatement issued here.
"It was like finding an oasis ina desert for me. By levelling falseallegations on me, who are thesepeople trying to help, drought hitvillagers or farmers? These pic-tures were clicked in the heat of45 degrees C to show my appre-ciation for the work my depart-ment has done. There was noexcitement in it, only content-ment," she added.
Munde's 'selfie moments' didnot go down well with the Sena,which said on the one handwomen are the worst sufferers ofthe drought and on the other, awoman minister is seen happilyclicking selfies in a parchedarea.(PTI)
