'Rs 4 Lakh Is Less, We Demanded...': Mohammed Shami's Estranged Wife Hasin Jahan Drops Bombshell
'The way he leads his lifestyle, INR 4 lakh is less. We demanded INR 10 lakh four years ago. The cost of living has increased now. And we will demand it again. This judgment is a big win for me. I'm thankful to Imtiaz bhai (Jahan's advocate) and the Hon'ble Judge of the High Court. But I still think we should be getting a higher amount of money so I can take care of our daughter and meet her needs,' Jahan said.
Jahan's advocate Imtiaz Ahmed confirmed on Wednesday that Shami will be required to pay a monthly alimony of Rs 4 lakh as maintenance to Jahan and said there is a high chance the maintenance might be upgraded to Rs 6 lakh.
Imtiaz Ahmed said it was "the best moment" for Hasin Jahan.
"From 2018 to 2024, she had been running from pillar to post. Ultimately, it was pronounced in open court yesterday that Rs 1.5 lakh would be provided for Hasin Jahan, Rs 2.5 lakh for the daughter (both to be paid monthly), and that any time the daughter requires assistance, it would be provided by Mohammed Shami," he said.
"The High Court has directed the trial court to dispose of the main application of the interim order within six months. There is a high chance that when they return to the trial court to conclude the hearing on maintenance, it might be upgraded to Rs 6 lakh because the claim of Hasin Jahan in her maintenance application was for Rs 7 lakh and Rs 3 lakh," he added.

Centre clears 140-metre wide ORR for Amaravati
Vijayawada: With the AP govt agreeing to shoulder land acquisition cost, the Centre has given green signal for a taking up 140 metres wide outer ring road (ORR) for Amaravati. Initially, the Centre agreed to give 70-metre wide ORR for Amaravati while chief minister wanted it to expand to 150 metres. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now After deliberations with senior officials, union minister Gadkari agreed for 140-metre wide ORR. T hough named Amaravati ORR, it also serves the major cities of Vijayawada, Guntur and Tenala in the AP capital region. It will complement the Vijayawada by-pass road on the west side of the city. The Vijayawada east by-pass road was cancelled as the ORR on the eastern side passes very close to the proposed by-pass road. The technical appraisal committee (TAC) of union ministry of road transport and highways (Morth) headed by secretary apprised that a highway with a width of 70 metres is sufficient to take up six-lane road project as ORR for Amaravati. The committee felt that the right of way (RoW) with 70 metres would also be sufficient to expand the proposed six-lane to eight lane along with providing service roads on both sides. However, Naidu during the meeting with Gadkari insisted that Amaravati is being developed as one of the modern town in the country and the RoW with 70 metres for ORR would not be sufficient for the city's requirement in the next 50 years. He explained that they have already attracted huge investments to the capital city and it would become difficult to go for big ORR in future. He wanted the Centre to grant the ORR with 150 metre width with a promise to take the additional cost of land acquisition by the state govt. The Centre had already estimated that it would cost Rs.2665 crore for land acquisition for 70-meter ORR and asked the state govt to take the additional financial burden over and above it for taking up the 150-meter ORR. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Subsequently, Gadkari agreed to take up the 140 metre ORR and directed the officials to place the proposals before the competent authority. Naidu wanted to develop the ORR in a prestigious highway with 12-lane along with separate corridors for railway lane, metro corridors. "The ORR going to be the game-changer infrastructure project of Amaravati," said Telugu Desam Parliamentary Party (TDPP) leader Lavu Srikrishnadevarayalu. He said that Centre had also granted several road infrastructure projects connecting Amaravati ORR following the chief minister Chandrababu Naidu's insistence. He explained that Centre had agreed to connect ORR with two spurs to ensure better connectivity with capital city by scrapping the proposal to take up Vijayawada east bypass. The Centre suspended the Vijayawada east bypass as it found to be parallel to the alignment of the proposed ORR. Two separate connecting roads would be developed connecting ORR with the existing NH-16 in Guntur district. While one road would be developed between Chinakakani and Tenali and other would be taken up near Narakoduru on the outskirts of Guntur city.

Govt doesn't take stand on matters of faith, says MEA on Dalai succession issue
NEW DELHI: Following remarks by Union minister Kiren Rijiju backing the Dalai Lama's announcement about his succession, including the statement that China will have no role in it, India on Friday said it had taken no position on what was an issue concerning faith and religion. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Interestingly, the Chinese foreign ministry, after cautioning India at a media briefing, according to agency reports from Beijing, against interfering in Tibetan affairs at the expense of Sino-India ties, omitted its comments objecting to Rijiju's remarks from the official transcript of the briefing. "Govt of India does not take any position or speak on matters concerning beliefs and practices of faith and religion," foreign ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, responding to media queries. Govt committed to protecting freedom of religion for everyone in India, says MEA The MEA spokesperson added that Indian govt has always upheld freedom of religion for all in India and would continue to do so. India's ties with China have shown signs of improvement in the past nine months, since they resolved the almost-five-year-long border stand-off in eastern Ladakh, leading to resumption of high-level bilateral visits. Amid global uncertainties, both sides seem keen to maintain a steady working relationship. Defence minister Rajnath Singh visited China last month for a meeting of the SCO defence ministers. NSA Ajit Doval has twice visited China since PM Modi's meeting with President Xi Jinping in Oct last year on the margins of the Brics summit in Russia. As special representative for boundary talks, Wang himself is likely to visit India this month for talks with Doval. India, however, is yet to confirm Modi's participation in the SCO summit in China in Sept. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Unlike the US, which officially maintains that China has no role to play in the Dalai Lama's succession, India has never taken any position on the issue. China maintains that the successor to the 14th Dalai Lama can only be appointed through the "traditional" process that includes approval by the central govt. In rare remarks by an Indian minister, Rijiju had backed the spiritual leader's assertion that no one else other than his trust would help choose his successor. The minister clarified on Friday that he wasn't speaking on behalf of the Indian govt but as a devotee himself, expressing the perspective of the Dalai Lama's followers. "All over the world, the people who follow Buddhism and who believe in the sacred, supreme Dalai Lama-ji... it is everyone's wish that the Dalai Lama-ji himself will decide. There is no need for govt of India or for me to say anything. I am speaking as a follower. I am not saying anything on... the Chinese govt's statement," the minister said.

Trinidad and Tobago gripped by Modi mania, thousands attired in Indian wear celebrate his visit
Port of Spain, July 4 (UNI) Trinidad and Tobago was gripped by Modi-mania on Thursday which included Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar delivering a heartfelt speech celebrating the ancestral and cultural ties between Trinidad and Tobago and India. From the moment Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's feet touched the ground at the old Piarco airport just after 4 p.m., he received a warm Trinbago welcome. And as he was arriving at the airport, thousands of people were making their way to the National Cycling Centre in Couva for a Community Diaspora Event in honour of the Indian Prime Minister, the Trinidad Express reported. In an address that resonated with emotion, Persad-Bissessar welcomed Modi, to the cheers of 4,000 specially invited guests who filled the centre. The Prime Minister emphasised both the importance and sentiment behind Modi's visit, saying: 'We are graced by the presence of someone near and dear to us. We are graced by a leader whose visit is not just a matter of protocol, but a profound honour. 'Prime Minister Modi, your presence is a source of great inspiration to all of us, particularly to the Indo-Trinidadian community, whose roots are planted in the same blessed Indian soil from which you emerged.' The evening formed part of Prime Minister Modi's official two-day visit, which includes a formal address to a joint sitting of Parliament and the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding between the two countries today. At the centre, Modi received more of Trinidad and Tobago's hospitality as thousands, dressed in Indian wear, celebrated his visit to T&T. Persad-Bissessar spoke of the familial bonds between both nations.'Tonight, we honour the revered cultural and familial bonds between our people. These bonds transcend time and distance, uniting us in a shared history and a shared future,' she told the audience. The Prime Minister paid tribute to Modi's leadership, hailing him as 'a transformational force who has redefined governance in India and positioned your country as a prominent and dominant global power'. She emphasised that it was not just his governance that brought the people of Trinidad and Tobago together with India—it was his enduring reverence for culture and heritage. She reminded the crowd that Modi's first visit to Trinidad and Tobago was not as a prime minister, but in 2002 as a cultural ambassador attending the World Hindu Conference. 'Today, you return as the head of government of more than 1.4 billion people, a distinguished and celebrated leader whose influence transcends borders,' Persad-Bissessar stated. The Prime Minister recalled the journey of Indian indentured labourers, who arrived in Trinidad in 1845 aboard the Fatel Razack, carrying only their language, culture and faith. 'They crossed the Kala Pani, the 'dark waters' once believed to sever the soul from the sacred. But today, we have re-imagined that journey,' Prime Minister Bissessar said. She introduced the poetic phrase Pani Bandhan (Waters of Unity) and Samudra Bandhan (Ocean of Unity), reframing the sea not as a divider, but as a sacred link that binds two nations.'We here are the grandchildren of Mother India, separated by oceans but reunited by enduring love and respect,' she said. In a poignant moment, Persad-Bissessar read from one of Modi's own poems, 'Journey', which speaks of memory, struggle, and shared suffering: 'In the recesses of my mind, I travel far into the past And each face I see, unfolds a memory. My recall comes with ease. Each visage easily recognised, Nothing stays hidden. For this is the truth, plain to see That our companions, with whom we suffered Never forgotten Together endured Those sufferings They become the journey in the end.' As she spoke, Modi smiled and listened. Turning to the sacrifices of Indian migrants to Trinidad, Persad-Bissessar said: 'Yes, Shri Modi. Our people have suffered. But they endured.' She continued: 'And their endurance became the foundation of our nations.' Prime Minister Bissessar suggested that the ancestors themselves were rejoicing. 'Somewhere, in the distant echoes of time, somewhere, in the annals of history, our ancestors are rejoicing at your visit—whispering through the winds of memory, their spirits stirred by this sacred reunion of their scattered children.' Persad-Bissessar called for continued partnership between T&T and India. 'We are all threads in the same human fabric, bound not by circumstance, but by compassion, resilience, and the timeless truths of our shared heritage.' 'So, Prime Minister, let us continue this journey together as partners, as brother and sister, and as proud children of a most enduring heritage in history,' she said. UNI RN
