Padmavati controversy based on rumours: Bhansali tells Parliamentary panel

Amidst a seething discussion over his movie "Padmavati", chief Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Thursday showed up before a Parliamentary panel here and kept up that the column over the yet-to-be-discharged motion picture was simply in light of gossipy tidbits, unequivocally dismissing charges that he had twisted recorded actualities about the sixteenth century Rajput ruler.

Bhansali was barbecued for more than two hours by individuals from the Parliamentary Standing Committee on IT as he showed up before it in Parliament House with Prasoon Joshi, who heads the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

Sources revealed to IANS that the producer was inquired as to why he had screened the film for a couple of select writers even before it was cleared by the edit board.

"All the discussion over the film depends on gossipy tidbits. I have not misshaped realities. The film depends on a ballad by Malik Muhammad Jayasi," Bhansali stated, alluding to the sixteenth century Indian Sufi artist's epic lyric "Padmavat".

Govt mulls allowing airlines with negative net worth to bid for Air India

The government is likely to relax the eligibility criteria for Air India disinvestment by allowing airlines with negative net worth to bid. However, non-airline companies may be told to satisfy minimum net worth conditions to prove their financial strength. The evaluation committee of Air India, after discussions with the Ministry of Civil Aviation, had suggested that all bidders be mandated to fulfil a minimum net worth criterion, a source said. However, when the Core Group of Secretaries on Disinvestment (CGD) met over the last two weeks to finalise the bidding norms, some members pointed out that setting high net worth as an eligibility condition would block the prospects of many airline companies. In fact, the difference in opinion between the two government bodies has led to a delay in the announcement of the expression of interest. The core group has now suggested that a company with a proven track record of running a successful airline be allowed to b...
