No Action Against Raja, But IT Raids On Vishal

Income Tax officials conducted raids on the premises of Tamil actor Vishal’s production house- Vishal Film Factory (VFF) yesterday. As per reports, the production house has failed to pay Rs. 51 lakh collected as TDS (Tax Deducted at Source). The team is said to have left the office after the VFF staff assured to pay the due amount in two installments.  Earlier, it was wrongly reported in the media that the raid was conducted by the GST Intelligence Agency. A top GST official clarified on it later stating the agency had not conducted any search at VFF. Interestingly, IT raids were conducted on Vishal’s office just a day after the actor criticized a BJP (Bhartiya Janata Party) local leader H Raja who has been leading the charge against actor Vijay's film Mersal for allegedly defaming GST. When a media house asked Vishal regarding IT raids, he clarified saying, “It was TDS assessment by IT wing. Issue needs to be sorted officially and I will do so. The timing of IT department's visit to my office is suspect. The BJP's demand to chop Mersal dialogues is a curb on freedom of expression.” Curiously, no action has been taken against H Raja who directly announced to have watched Mersal online piracy version. If BJP continues to struggle those who question their government or leaders, they will lose faith in public who are already vexed with demonetization and GST schemes.

Lawyers Mistake Bring Troubles To Leander Ex

Indian ace Tennis Player Leander Paes appeared at the Bandra Magistrate Court in Mumbai couple of days ago over the hearing of a domestic violence case slapped on him in 2014 by his former girlfriend and live-in partner Rhea Pillai who demands Rs 1 crore in compensation from him. Pillai claimed that Leander Paes had no interest in taking care of their daughter Aiyana. Rhea has said in her petition: "Paes has always given priority to his own life and neglected the child and her feelings. He has been an absentee father. Besides being out of country for nearly 10 months of the year, he is also not reachable for days at length." Interim, Rhea Pillai's lawyers made a gaffe by mentioning the compensation amount demanded by her in the domestic violence case as Rs 10 lakh and not Rs 1 crore. The lawyers later told Magistrate that the correct amount Rhea had demanded was Rs 1 crore. The missing zero here made all the difference. Rhea Pillai demands one time settlement of Rs 1.43 Cr from Leander Paes. She also demands monthly-maintenance of Rs. 2.6 lakh. Her list of demands includes monetary assistance for buying a mid-budget car in the range of Rs 15-20 lakh. The cars given as examples are Toyota Innova, Toyota Corolla Altis and Honda City. Actual compensation demanded by Rhea was Rs 1 Cr, but the lawyers mistakenly wrote Rs 10 lakhs in the petition.

There were reports that, collection king Mohan Babu who is away from politics for ages would join Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena Party. Apparently, there is no truth in these speculations and a latest incident proves the same. The appointment of North Indian IAS Officer Anil Kumar Singhal as the TTD Executive Officer has turned controversial. Several noted people including Swami Swaroopananda Saraswati of Sarada Peetham and Pawan Kalyan objected the decision of Chandrababu Naidu's government. The Jana Sena Chief went on to question whether a South Indian would be appointed as a higher authority of sacred shrines such as Amarnath, Varanasi, Mathura, etc. Apparently, Mohan Babu has a dissimilar opinion on this issue. He extended his full support to the appointment of Singhal as the EO of TTD and stated that the latter who earlier served as a Collector in the Telugu states was very honest person. Mohan Babu continued saying Lord Venkateswara is the God of all Hindus and not just of Telugu speaking people or South Indians. He suggested the people who are unhappy with the appointment of Singhal not to try restricting God to regions. This statement clearly indicates that Mohan Babu opposes Pawan Kalyan!

Swami Swaroopanandendra Saraswati of Sarada Peetham also faulted the appointment alleging Chandrababu Naidu government has been ignoring Telugu people and encouraging North people. Now, Pawan Kalyan too joins the list of criticizing TDP government over the issue. ‘I am not against North Indian IAS Officials taking charge of TTD. But, would they allow any South Indian to take up the administrative position of such sacred shrine of North India like Amarnath Varanasi and Mathura etc. So, when they don’t allow South Indian head such… why should South Indian accept this. I wonder how TDP and Hon Chief Minister allowed it to happen. They owe an explanation to the people of Andhra Pradesh and South,’ stated Pawan Kalyan. In fact, Pawan Kalyan is not stopping himself from opposing the ruling party of late has once again hit hard at Chandrababu Naidu led government. Will Babu who is in America tour react to Pawan Kalyan's remarks on appointing a North Indian as TTD new EO?
