"Ladki Bahin scheme was launched to help poor women. There is absolutely no reason why men should be its beneficiaries. We will recover money given to them. If they do not cooperate, further action will be taken," Pawar told reporters.
"Some women employed with the government had also become beneficiaries but we removed their names. As we continue to review the scheme's working, we will keep removing such names," he added.

Bengal BJP ups ante against ‘fake' voters, accuses Trinamool of ‘threatening' BLOs
The Trinamool Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have been engaged in a war of words over the possibility of a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in West Bengal, with the saffron party amplifying its rhetoric against 'fake voters' and alleging that West Bengal's District Magistrates and booth-level officers (BLOs) are being 'threatened' by the Trinamool government. 'In booths 101, 102, 104, and 105 of the Baruipur East Assembly constituency, 100% of the residents are Hindus. Despite there being not a single person from the Muslim community residing there, the voter list suddenly shows the names of Muslim voters, none of whom are Indian citizens. All are Bangladeshis,' Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, said on Friday. On Thursday, he had said that in a 'closed-door meeting' at the State Secretariat, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had 'scolded' BLOs travelling to Delhi for training and had ordered that no steps should be taken without permission. He also accused West Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant of having 'verbally instructed District Magistrates to replace the 1,000 BLOs who were trained in Delhi.' 'I want to tell the Chief Secretary that you cannot lawfully change BLOs appointed after July 5 without a valid reason and the consent of the Chief Electoral Officer. The Chief Minister cannot intervene in election-related matters… I am reassuring everyone that no BLO can be changed by the Chief Minister or Chief Secretary,' Mr. Adhikari said, addressing the press outside the West Bengal Assembly on Thursday. He also accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of 'threatening' BLOs and DMs in a meeting on Monday at Bolpur in Birbhum district, where she said she was not informed about 1,000 BLOs being taken to Delhi for training and that BLOs should not harass 'genuine' voters. 'Remember, the EC comes in during elections, but you all are employees of the State government. Do not harass people unreasonably… If you receive any instructions, inform the Chief Secretary first. You all are taking sudden decisions without informing us,' Ms. Banerjee said, addressing district officials during the administrative meeting. Meanwhile, Trinamool leaders have said that a 'covert exercise' towards a National Register of Citizens (NRC) is being conducted in the name of SIR. 'An NRC process is being initiated in the name of voter list revision… if anyone is dropped from the voters' list, protest. Demand to know from your BLO why you were removed as a genuine voter. This is your constitutional and democratic right,' the Chief Minister had said in a public address on Tuesday. The next day, Trinamool's national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee alleged that the Election Commission and the BJP were trying to suppress voters, because 'if people are allowed to vote freely, they will be defeated.' On Friday, Trinamool MPs stood outside Parliament and agitated against the SIR in Bihar, which they called 'silent invisible rigging.' According to the website of the Election Commission, SIRs are to be conducted across the country, requiring electors missing from the last SIR electoral roll to 'prove their eligibility' as a voter by submitting government-issued identification documents. However, this has incited a strong reaction from Opposition parties over the possible loss of voting rights for lakhs of voters who might not be able to submit documents on time. With training sessions being held for BLOs of West Bengal, and the electoral roll of the 2002 SIR in the State being made public recently, many in the political circles believe that an SIR could be conducted in West Bengal ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.

India's Operation Mahadev rattles Pakistan; Islamabad claims Home Minister Amit Shah is..., calls India's stance on Indus Water Treaty as...
Home Minister Amit Shah told the Parliament that three terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam terror attack were killed during Operation Mahadev in Jammu and Kashmir. (File) Operation Mahadev: Operation Mahadev, a joint operation by the Indian Army and the state police, in which three Pakistan-linked terrorists who reportedly carried out the Pahalgam terror attack, were killed in Jammu and Kashmir, has rattled the neighbouring country with Islamabad now accusing Indian leaders, particularly the ruling BJP of leveling false allegations against the country without any credible evidence. What did Pakistan say? In a statement, the Pakistan Foreign Ministry termed the statements made in the Indian Parliament on Operation Mahadev during the discussion on Operation Sindoor, as 'irresponsible and provocative', which are aimed at 'distorting facts, justifying India's aggression and gaining public support for its military actions' against Pakistan. 'We completely reject the anti-Pakistan statements made by Indian leaders in their Parliament,' Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said in the statement. The spokesperson also claimed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah's comments on Operation Mahadev were completely 'non-factual' and lacked any shred of truth. 'India attacked Pakistan on the night of 6-7 May without any credible evidence or investigation, and its aggressive stance has not changed as it continues to make new allegations against Pakistan,' he alleged. Why Pakistan is accusing Home Minister Amit Shah? The Pakistan Foreign Office further claimed that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had offered to conduct an impartial international investigation into the Pahalgam attack, but the offer was declined by India, which is now making 'baseless' claims by linking the terrorists killed in Operation Mahadev to Pakistan. The spokesperson also brought up the Indus Waters Treaty, stating that India's remarks on the strategic water sharing agreement between the two countries are 'worrying'. Operation Mahadev On Tuesday, Home Minister Amit Shah informed the Lok Sabha that three Pakistan-linked terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam attack– Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Suleiman alias Faizal, Afghan, and Jibran– were killed during Operation Mahadev, a joint operation launched by the Indian Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Monday.

Trump's tariff tsunami hits more foreign shores
WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump 's latest wave of tariffs on exports from dozens of trading partners sent global stock markets tumbling on Friday and countries and companies scrambling to seek ways to strike better deals. As Trump presses ahead with plans to reorder the global economy with the highest tariff rates since the early 1930s, Switzerland, "stunned" by 39% tariffs, sought more talks.

Taiwan said its rate was "temporary" and it expected to reach a lower figure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cargo Ship Meets Pirates - Watch What the Captain Does Next! Tips and Tricks Undo The presidential order listed higher import duty rates of 10% to 41% starting in a week's time for 69 trading partners, taking the U.S. effective tariff rate to about 18%, from 2.3% last year, according to analysts at Capital Economics . Trump's new tariffs have created yet more uncertainty, with many details unclear. They are set to take effect on Aug 7 at 0401 GMT, a White House official said. Live Events The European Union , which struck a framework deal with Trump on Sunday, is still awaiting more Trump orders to deliver on agreed carve-outs, including on cars and aircraft, EU officials said, saying the latest executive orders did not cover that. Also, it is unclear how the administration intends to define and police the transshipment restrictions, which threaten 40% levies on any exporter deemed to have tried to mask goods from a higher-tariffed originator, such as China, as their own product. The new tariffs will kick in at what has become a perilous moment for the U.S. economy, with U.S. data on Friday showing employment growth was weaker than thought previously. Trump's tariff rollout also comes amid evidence they have begun driving up prices. U.S. Commerce Department data released Thursday showed prices for home furnishings and durable household equipment jumped 1.3% in June, the biggest gain since March 2022. NO WINNERS? Countries hit with hefty tariffs said they will seek to negotiate with the U.S. in hopes of getting a lower rate. Switzerland said it would push for a "negotiated solution" with the U.S. "It's a massive shock for the export industry and for the whole country. We are really stunned," said Jean-Philippe Kohl, deputy director of Swissmem, representing Switzerland's mechanical and electrical engineering industries. South Africa's Trade Minister Parks Tau said he was seeking "real, practical interventions" to defend jobs and the economy against the 30% U.S. tariff it faces. Southeast Asian countries, however, breathed a sigh of relief after the U.S. tariffs on their exports that were lower than threatened and levelled the playing field with a rate of about 19% across the region's biggest economies.
