A cybercriminal group with the alias ‘John Wick on Thursday said in a tweet that it did not hack <keyword id="4225623" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paytm-Mall">Paytm Mall</keyword>, even as the group claimed responsibility for briefly hacking the Twitter account linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's personal website. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="77902203" title="Twitter account of PM Modi's personal website hacked — asks followers for Bitcoin and Ethereum donations" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> "This account is hacked by John Wick (hckindia@tutanota.com), We have not hacked Paytm Mall," John Wick posted after taking over the Twitter account. The authenticity of the claims could not be immediately verified. The development comes after cyber-risk intelligence firm Cyble on August 30 wrote in a blog post that "John Wick" was able to upload a backdoor/Adminer on Paytm Mall application/website. The group gained unrestricted access to the entire databases of Paytm Mall, Cyble said in the blog post. "According to the messages forwarded to us by the source, the perpetrator claimed the hack happened due to an insider at Paytm Mall. The claims, however, are unverified, but possible," Cyble said. Paytm Mall said that the claims are "absolutely false". "We would like to assure that all users, as well as company data, is completely safe and secure. We invest heavily in our data security, as you would expect," a Paytm Mall spokesperson said in a statement. "We have been investigating the claims of a possible hack and data breach, and haven't found any security lapses yet. "We also have a Bug Bounty programme, under which we reward responsible disclosure of any security risks. We extensively work with the security research community and safely resolve security anomalies," the spokesperson said.

In his upcoming visit to the Gulf Nations, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Narendra+Modi">PM Narendra Modi</a> will connect with the Indian diaspora in the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=UAE">UAE</a>. As reported by the Economic Times, PM will address nearly 40,000 expats to woo the energy-rich country's sovereign fund to invest in sectors like aviation, telecom, ports and road transport during his upcoming visit on August 16-17. 
 
During his maiden visit to the Gulf region as Indian PM, Modi will meet the strongest Indian community of 2.6-million—highest among all expat communities in the UAE—which apparently is an essential part of his pro-active diaspora outreach initiative. 
 As per a highly-placed associate of the Indian community in <keyword id="6354539" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dubai">Dubai</keyword>, the event has been planned at the Dubai Cricket Stadium on the eve of Aug 17. 
 An organizing committee has been formed by the <keyword id="2993361" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Community-Welfare-Committee">Indian Community Welfare Committee</keyword> (ICWC) to oversee the arrangements and lead preparations for the mega event. 
 According to BR Shetty, a member of the organizing committee, the reception is expected to attract at least 40,000 people of Indian origin. During his trip, Modi will visit both capital <keyword id="63248" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Abu-Dhabi">Abu Dhabi</keyword> and Dubai. 
 
The ICWC has also said that a website has been created to facilitate registrations of community members for the meeting. 
 The Gulf nation is the 10th biggest foreign investor in India—an estimated $3.01 billion in <keyword id="44528" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="FDI">FDI</keyword> flowed in as of January—and its third biggest trading partner after China and the US. During his visit, Modi will be looking to further diversify bilateral trade and investments. 
 
In 2014-15, bilateral trade between the two nations stood at close $60 billion. While India is an important export destination for UAE-manufactured goods, in 2014-15 the UAE became the second largest importer of Indian merchandise with sales topping $33 billion. The same year, the UAE was also the sixth largest import source of crude oil for India. 
 There is also a large Indian business community in the UAE which in 2013 made remittances of over $15 billion. Modi's trip could revive <keyword id="2993472" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="India-Gulf-Cooperation-Council">India-Gulf Cooperation Council</keyword> free trade talks, the officials informed. The two sides would also like to intensify cooperation in counter-terrorism, maritime security, prisoner swap, cooperation in agriculture and food security. The UAE is expected to seek more protection for its investments in India. 
 Members of the Indian community in Dubai said they have been expecting a visit by an Indian prime minister for decades. Modi's predecessor, Manmohan Singh, was expected to reciprocate the visits of Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, here in 2007 and 2010.

In its previous episodes, Grylls ate anything that could provide him nutrition. He also once wore the skin of a seal to fetch fish in freezing water. However, the show which features Modi might not be as ‘wild’. Grylls is also infamously known for drinking his own urine on the show. This is when he can’t do something else which he does, which is squeezes water out of elephant dung for drinking. However, Modi may not be seen doing any of this.

It is not necessary that all cabinet ministers have to gel with PM Narendra Modi. There are few ministers who had to work towards getting their equation right with the PM. 
 Economic Times reported how <keyword id="6391015" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Finance-Minister-Arun-Jaitley">Finance Minister Arun Jaitley</keyword>, Home Minister Rajanth Singh and Foreign Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj adjusted to work out their private equation with Modi. 
 
The most important minister in Modi’s cabinet is Jaitley. Arguably, Jaitley is Modi's go-to man. People close to Jaitley told ET that he was one of the trongest backers of Modi as BJP’s PM candidate at a time when several heavyweights were against the idea. 
 
The Finance Minister had also handled legal issues of both Modi and BJP President Amit Shah. A party leader told the financial daily that when Shah was banned from entering Gujarat by the Supreme Court, he went to Jaitley's house. 
 
The leader added that Shah relies heavily on Jaitley. "Those working closely with Shah now in the party are all Arun Jaitley's people. Shah's assessment of people is based on Arun's assessment and Modi too goes along," a party leader told ET. 
 
The leader also said that people close to Jaitley were given key ministries and the names were endorsed by Shah as well. 
 
A BJP leader told the financial daily that the close relationship between Modi, Jaitley and Shah was a source of much jealousy. 
 
"Of the trio, Jaitley is the easiest to attack since Modi can't be attacked and attacks on Shah will only start post Bihar if the party does badly," said the leader. 
 
The leader added that Jaitley was Modi's chief troubleshooter. 
 
One of the leaders also told ET that if performance of Modi Sarkar was to be judged largely on economy, Modi's most important minister was also the one who will be judged most ultimately. 
 Meanwhile, <keyword id="2286211" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Home-Minister-Rajnath-Singh">Home Minister Rajnath Singh</keyword> learnt to like Modi. 
 Singh is officially the number two in the <keyword id="581221" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Modi-Cabinet">Modi Cabinet</keyword> and as per an official notification, he gets to chair Cabinet meetings when the PM is away. 
 
Singh is a political heavyweight and Modi and Shah are quite careful not to mess with him. When the Home Minister publically expressed displeasure at rumours being spread about his son, allegedly by a Cabinet colleague, Modi and Shah rushed to assuage him. 
 
After Singh’s response, those rumours stopped. 
 
"The message was clear - Rajnath was not going to stay quiet," a BJP functionary told ET. In his first stint as BJP president, Singh shared an uneasy relationship with Modi and Jaitley. 
 
Singh had dropped Modi from the party's central parliamentary board and Jaitley from the post of chief spokesman. However, during his second stint, Singh’s relationship with Modi improved. 
 
Singh batted for Modi against party veterans LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Sushma Swaraj. 
 
Economic Times reported that a senior Congress leader had also gone to Singh's house when he was the president to dissuade him from declaring Modi as the party's PM candidate. But to no avail. 
 
"He also got dissidents to stop critiquing Modi in public during the run-up to the election," a BJP leader told ET, adding “At one point Singh got Yashwant Sinha to speak to Shatrughan Sinha to tone down the latter's remarks against Modi.” 
 
Party leaders told ET that as smooth as Singh-Modi relations may be now, the uneasy relationship between the finance and home ministers could still become a problem for the prime minister. 
 
"The downfall of UPA-2 started with the shadow war between Pranab Mukherjee and P Chidambaram. Round-2 of Singh vs Jaitley, if it happens, can get troublesome for the PM," a party veteran told the financial daily. 
 
Coming to Foreign Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, she was a Modi critic was adjusted. 
 
“Sushma-ji's is a case of a remarkable transformation,” a BJP leader told ET. Before Modi climbed to top of the party, Swaraj was a Modi critic. 
 
A BJP veteran said Swaraj is good with her job even if no one talks about it. Officials say Modi is even more personally involved than most recent PMs. This could have been a source of angst for Swaraj, but she has simply got on with it. 
 
"She's shown great dignity," a BJP leader told ET. As per officials, Modi has asked the foreign minister to keep special focus on the Middle East and SAARC. 
 
"Sushma Swaraj really knows the dos and don'ts of ministerial functioning," a senior official told ET.

Tagging them over a succession of over 25 tweets, PM Modi requested them to come together to “strengthen the democracy” and asked them to encourage people to vote. In a first, Modi reached out to Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav, Mayawati, Naveen Patnaik, KCR, Chandrababu Naidu among others asking them “to work towards bringing maximum Indians to the polling booths in the upcoming elections.” And he didn’t stop there. Narendra Modi, who campaigned to power as the business friendly leader – even though new private investments in India have gone down to a <a href="https://www.livemint.com/Politics/djaa4hxQTklGR3lOws8hzJ/New-investments-in-India-plunge-to-14yearlow.html">14-year</a> low – reached out to the likes of Anand Mahindra, Ratan Tata and Ashish Chauhan. Modi reached out to celebrities from different fields – from Bollywood celebrities like Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone to sportspersons like Sachin Tendulkar, Saina Nehwal, Srikanth Kidambi, and PV Sindhu. In an official blog titled '<a href="https://www.narendramodi.in/four-requests-for-a-democracy-543992" data-type="tilCustomLink">Four Requests For Democracy</a>' on the Prime Minister's website, Modi has asked Indian citizens to register themselves as voters if they haven't done so already and 'create an environment where getting one’s voter card and casting a vote, especially for the first time, become occasions for celebration'. The incumbent prime minister may hope that some voters may mistake the celebrity endorsement for the voting process as support for Modi himself. But, will they?

Nearly 1,000 students from various schools across Delhi will get the privilege of watching the speech at the Manekshaw Auditorium in New Delhi, which will be broadcast live by all Doordarshan channels to over 18 lakh government and private schools in the country, as well as on radio. Live streaming on the web would also be available. 
 Using the satellite link, the prime minister will also interact with students at National Information Centres in Leh, Port Blair, Silchar (Assam), Imphal, Bhuj (Gujarat), Dantewada (Chhattisgarh) and Thiruvannamalai (Tamil Nadu). However, students of <keyword id="17605" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Jammu-and-kashmir">Jammu and Kashmir</keyword> will not be able to listen to Narendra Modi's address as the state government has ordered closure of all the schools in view of heavy rain and floods.

Many morning schools have changed their schedule so that students do not miss the first mass contact programme of its kind. If you are interested in watching the addressal too, turn on your television sharp at 3 pm.

PM Narendra Modi To Bond With Students On Teachers’ Day

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) is getting more vigilant over foreign funding to Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and has asked the home ministry to tighten rules of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). 
 
Acting on the instructions, the home ministry will scrutinise foreign-funded NGOs based on recommendations of Intelligence Bureau. 
 
The home ministry expedited its review of FCRA rules after the PM's Principal Secretary Nripendra Misra wrote to Home Secretary LC Goyal asking him to put a mechanism in place "without any delay" to monitor foreign funding of NGOs. 
 
The PMO wants to put in place new measures by June 15 in the interest of India's "economic security", officials told Economic Times, explaining the urgency of the matter. The FCR rules were brought in by the Congress-led Indian government after FCRA was enacted in 2010. 
 
Under the proposed changes, NGOs may have to provide details of all foreign funding within two days to ensure transparency. 
 
"NGOs would be mandated to have a website on which they will be required to put out the details of each foreign inflow for public viewing within 48 hours of receiving the funds. This will include the source of funds, the intended activity for which the funds are expected to be used and the details of its partner NGOs in that specific project," a senior government official told ET. Annual audited reports for previous years should also be made public, the official said. 
 
The official added that the 'oversight' part of the new measures would allow the government to keep close tabs on NGOs through stricter checks and inspections. 
 
A senior ministry official told ET that the PMO communication to home ministry had stressed the "need for effective linkage between MHA, Reserve Bank of India and banks for effective monitoring" of NGOs. 
 The move comes amid criticism faced by PM Narendra Modi over his clamp down on foreign-funded NGOs. The US-based <keyword id="57946" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ford-Foundation">Ford Foundation</keyword>, one of the biggest non-profit organisations across the world, was put on a watch list by home ministry.
