फिर खुली केजरीवाल सरकार की पोल, भ्रष्टाचार के मामले में सिर्फ एक अफसर हुआ गिरफ्तार

दिल्ली की सत्ता पर काबिज होने के चंद हफ्तों बाद ही केजरीवाल सरकार ने बड़े-बड़े होर्डिंग लगवाकर भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ मुहिम शुरू करने का ऐलान किया था. होर्डिंग के जरिए भ्रष्टाचार पर जरा भी नरमी न बरतने के दावे करने वाली केजरीवाल सरकार के इस दावे की पोल खुलती नजर आ रही है.

दिल्ली की सड़कों पर लगाई गई होर्डिंग में दावा किया गया है कि भ्रष्टाचार के आरोप में अब तक 35 अफसरों की गिरफ्तारी हुई है और 152 के सस्पेंड किया गया है. सरकार के इस दावे पर अंग्रेजी अखबार द इंडियन एक्सप्रेस की रिपोर्ट कुछ और ही हाल बयां कर रही है. रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, भ्रष्टाचार के मामले में दिल्ली सरकार ने जिन '35 अफसरों' को गिरफ्तार करने का दावा किया है उनमें सिक्यॉरिटी गार्ड से लेकर वेल्डर, स्कूल टीचर और हेड कॉन्सटेबल भी शामिल हैं.

आरटीआई के जवाब में ACB ने दी जानकारी 

आरटीआई के जवाब में दिल्ली ACB ने बताया कि केजरीवाल सरकार बनने के बाद एक जुलाई 2015 तक कुल 41 लोग गिरफ्तार किए गए हैं. इनमें तीन ऐसे भी लोग शामिल हैं, जिन पर 10 रुपये रिश्वत लेने का शक जताया गया है. यही नहीं, कुछ ऐसे लोग भी हैं जिनका सरकार से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है. गिरफ्तार लोगों में से एक मात्र चीफ इंजीनियर को छोड़कर बाकी सारे आरोपी निचले स्तर के कर्मचारी हैं.

छापा मारकर गिरफ्तार किए गए कुछ लोग 

अखबार को दी गई जानकारी में ACB ने कहा कि 15 फरवरी 2015 से एक जुलाई 2015 के बीच कुल 41 लोगों को गिरफ्तार किया गया है. सभी मामलों में जांच चल रही है इसलिए ज्यादा जानकारी नहीं दी जा सकती. रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, सभी गिरफ्तारियां 13 केसों के आधार की गई हैं. कुछ के खिलाफ एसीबी हॉटलाइन 1031 पर शिकायत की गई थी तो कुछ को छापा मारकर गिरफ्तार किया गया था. खास बात ये है कि 37 लोगों की गिरफ्तारी 8 मई, 2015 से पहले ही कर ली गई थी.

ये है गिरफ्तारी का आंकड़ा

आंकड़ों के मुताबिक, गिरफ्तार लोगों में 15 सरकारी जूनियर कर्मचारी, 6 बेल्डर, 13 निजी कंपनियों के लोग, तीन स्कूल प्रिंसिपल, एक कॉन्ट्रैक्ट टीचर और दो सिक्योरिटी गार्ड के अलावा एक हेड कॉन्सटेबल भी शामिल है.

Save your work: Microsoft is forcing an update and restart for Windows 10 tonight

Microsoft’s rollup patch KB3081424 ties together all of the major incremental updates to Windows 10 since the OS went live last week.

Windows 10 users, save all your work before logging out today. Microsoft is rolling out a major patch today and tonight that will force a system restart.

What’s known as “KB3081424” is a cumulative or “rollup” patch, tying together all of the major incremental updates that have already been applied to Windows 10 since the “release” version went live last week.

MARK HACHMAN

The page listing the downloads goes on and on, though what you’ll actually receive varies with how up-to-date your PC already is. When I manually asked for the update, it completed in a minute or two over a standard broadband connection. If you recently updated to Windows 10, some of these updates may have already been part of your upgrade.

Some are calling this the SR1 rollup, a name that’s been used to signify the massive “Day 0” patch that Microsoft was originally expected to release. Because the KB3081424 update does apparently include recent code (some of the files have early August release dates), it’s fair to say that most PCs will receive something new.

In any event, Microsoft warns that your PC will restart. And because many of you are probably running Windows 10 Home, you won’t have the option of deferring your update. (Windows generally picks the middle of the night to apply patches.)

Why this matters: If you’re using, say, Excel Online, which saves as you go, you won’t have to worry about losing your work. Ditto for Microsoft Office, or any application where autosaving is enabled. But if you’re working in an ancient Web app, or prefer to save your file manually as you go, or simply need your PC to stay up and running all night, be aware that Microsoft thinks differently. A forced restart isn’t something to panic about, but it is something to be aware of, especially as some Windows 10 updates now can’t be deferred.

Yahoo Tweaks Email to Make Search More Personal

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Searching email is generally an exercise in frustration.

You plunk in a few keywords that you think might be in the message you want, then get pages of results of every email that contains those words. Unlike a web search, there is no ranking by importance, no best guess by the algorithm about what you really want — just a list of items, most recent first.

“Mail search is broken,” Jeff Bonforte, the senior vice president for communications products at Yahoo, which runs one of the most popular free email services, said in an interview.

That is a problem, he continued, because email is our most important memory service, storing photos, conversations, activities and documents from plane tickets to party invitations. “There’s a lot of history in your inbox,” he said.

For the last year, Yahoo has been working to transform email search. Over the next week, the 225 million users of Yahoo Mail will begin to see the fruits of that effort in the web version of the service.

When you start typing the name of a person or company in the search box, Yahoo will now automatically suggest what or whom you might be looking for and offer to create a search term. So if you’re looking for a ticket you bought from American Airlines, for example, you can limit the results to messages from the carrier and exclude other messages that simply contain the words American and airline.

Yahoo is also indexing the attachments and links that people include in emails. If you search for “photos cricket and India” — as Sriram Chatrathi, one of the leaders of the email project, likes to do — you will get a screen of photos the algorithm determines are connected to the sport, avoiding the need to go through all the emails that contain them.

“It extracts just those photos,” Mr. Chatrathi said. “It makes photos first-class citizens.”

For all searches, users will be able to click a button on the right-hand side of the results to sort by relevance, most recent or oldest, or messages with attachments. And if you link your email account to Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, you can now see profile information about the people you correspond with.

The changes are modest so far, and searches still end up defaulting to standard keyword searches most of the time.

But Yahoo says that the hard engineering work that has gone into Project Bootcamp — its code name for the email overhaul — will allow it to make other improvements in the coming months.

New Taliban Leader Faces Discord as a Top Official Quits

KABUL, Afghanistan — Solidifying reports of high-level rifts within the Taliban over the group’s leadership succession, the head of the insurgents’ official diplomatic delegation in Qatar publicly resigned on Monday.

The resignation of the official, Tayeb Agha, the head of the Taliban’s political office in Qatar and a longtime confidant to the late supreme leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, came after an intense debate over the appointment of the movement’s new commander last week. Some senior Taliban figures have accused the new leader, Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, of keeping Mullah Omar’s death a secret for nearly two years, until its confirmation last week, in order to tighten his own grip over the movement.

Opposition to Mullah Mansour’s appointment has come from Mullah Omar’s brother, Mullah Abdul Manan Hotak; his oldest son, Mullah Muhammad Yaqoub; and several other Taliban leaders who say he arranged a hasty succession process in Quetta, Pakistan, where not all senior members were given a vote, according to Taliban officials close to the proceedings.

On Tuesday, efforts were underway to mediate the differences between Mullah Mansour and members of Mullah Omar’s family. A group of nearly 200 religious leaders and tribal elders traveled from Peshawar, Pakistan, where some Taliban members are based, to Quetta and met with the brother and son of Mullah Omar, asking them to end the dispute with Mullah Mansour.

“The two family members of Mullah Omar said they had no differences with Mullah Mansour, and they are only making complaints against the decision by Mansour to appoint himself without clerics and other members of the Taliban movement being called to the succession meeting,” a member of the Taliban leadership council who was at the meeting said.

In a personal statement released to the public — a rarity from senior Taliban officials — Mr. Agha, who led the prisoner exchange effort that resulted in the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the last known American prisoner of war in Afghanistan, called the selection of the new leader a “historical mistake.”

Comparing it to the selection of Afghan communist leaders in Moscow or factional leaders in Pakistan during the bloody civil war, he said such appointments outside the country had brought grave repercussions.

“In the current controversial situation, I am not supporting any side,” Mr. Agha said.

In his statement, Mr. Agha said he had not received any audio message from Mullah Omar, who reportedly died in April 2013, since the beginning of that year. Instead, he began receiving written instructions without a signature, which his superiors told him should be good enough, he said.

“But I was asking for his audio message to eliminate the concerns of the people,” Mr. Agha said.

At the heart of the leadership disagreements in the Taliban ranks is the movement’s policy toward recent peace efforts with the Afghan government that have been facilitated by Pakistani officials.

Under heavy pressure from Pakistani security officials, who have sheltered Mullah Mansour and other senior Taliban leaders, a delegation of Taliban officials attended the first round of meetings with Afghan officials near Islamabad on July 7. The meeting angered other Taliban leaders who had, for years, rejected direct talks with the Afghan government, preferring a slower outreach process without Pakistan’s influence.

For Mr. Agha, whose family members are said to have fled Pakistan for Qatar after repeated harassment by the Pakistani security agencies, the talks in Pakistan derailed a process he had been building toward for years.

His office conducted shuttle diplomacy with delegations of influential Afghan politicians in Doha, Qatar’s capital; Oslo; and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. In email exchanges with The New York Times as Taliban representatives sat down with the Afghan government in Pakistan last month, Mr. Agha’s office harshly denounced the talks, saying the process had been “hijacked” by Pakistan’s powerful military spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence. His aides characterized the Taliban officials who had participated as trying “to save their families and property in Pakistan.”

In his resignation letter, Mr. Agha said the Taliban’s agreement to negotiate through Pakistan had been crucial to the timing of leaking the news of Mullah Omar’s death.

“Efforts are underway regarding all concerned sides of Taliban to seize them in a trap,” he said.

ISIS preparing to attack India: Report

WASHINGTON: The ISIS is preparing to attack India to provoke an Armageddon-like confrontation with the US according to an internal recruitment document of the feared group which also seeks to unite the Pakistani and Afghan Taliban into a single army of terror. 

An investigative story published on Tuesday by the USA Today and reported by American Media Institute refers to a 32-page Urdu document obtained from a Pakistani citizen with connections inside the Pakistani Taliban. 

"The document warns that 'preparations' for an attack in India are underway and predicts that an attack will provoke an apocalyptic confrontation with America," the report said. 

"Even if the US tries to attack with all its allies, which undoubtedly it will, the ummah (Muslims) will be united, resulting in the final battle," it added.
