Later, PM Modi and Netanyahu inaugurated a start-up hub called iCreate in Gujarat’s Bavla town. iCreate or the International Centre for Entrepreneurship and Technology, formed in 2011 as an autonomous institution to nurture aspiring entrepreneurs, has tie-ups with leading Israeli firms.

Modi said: “When I went to Israel last year, I made up my mind that this foundation should have more strong relations with Israel. From that time, I was waiting for my friend Benjamin Netanyahu to come to India. He is here & now we are inaugurating this foundation.

“When a farmer sows a small plant, coming generations receives fruits of that huge tree. The farmer’s soul feels elated with this. We are feeling the same happiness on the inauguration of iCreate.

“My motive was that this institution and our youth is benefited by Israel’s experience and their start-up environment. Israel has proved it to the world that commitment of the people, not size of the nation takes the country forward.”

The prime minister said he hoped that iCreate would help youngsters fulfil their dreams and implement their innovative ideas, said media reports. “We are working towards making entire system in our country innovation-friendly, so that ideas are formed from intent, innovations are formed from ideas and a new India is formed from innovations,” said media reports quoting Modi.

Quoting the former President of Israel, Shimon Peres, Modi said innovation had the bigger role in taking people of India and Israel together. “The greater the dream, the more spectacular will be the results,” he said.

Netyanahu praised Modi for doing revolutionary work, and recalled the historic links between the two countries, the Hindustan Times reported. Many Indian soldiers who lost their lives during the liberation of the Israeli city of Haifa were Gujaratis, the Israeli prime minister said.

The youth and technology of the two countries are the future, and the two are coming together and opening new ways, Netanyahu added, before concluding his speech by saying: “Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai Israel!”

The prime ministers then visited the Centre of Excellence for Vegetables at Vadrad in Sabarkantha district where they spoke with farmers. “We are all aware of the strides Israel has made in agriculture, including when it comes to managing water resources and irrigation,” Modi said. “Israel shows the way on how to transform a nation with the agriculture sector at the core.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the government was attempting to help farmers double their incomes by 2022, and thanked Netanyahu for taking time out to talk to farmers.

The two leaders and Sara Netanyahu returned to Mumbai in the evening.

On Thursday, the Israeli prime minister will launch a magazine at the Magen David Synagogue at Byculla in South Mumbai, PTI reported. The magazine, called Namaste Shalom, will focus on the relations between the two countries and will be published every month.

Netanyahu and his wife are on a six-day trip to India. Netanyahu’s visit to Gujarat will focus on agriculture, irrigation, innovation and enterprise, the Indian Prime Minister’s Officer said on Twitter.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Tejinder told the police that Amritpal Singh had formed a private militia called the Anandpur Khalsa Force or AKF who underwent extensive arms training at a makeshift shooting range in the Jallupur Khera village.

Singh’s former bodyguard told the cops that AKF recruits underwent rigorous arms training and target practice and were accorded ranked as per their seniority.

Salman Khan death threat email linked to UK number, cops say

Published

on

The email ID through which a death threat was sent to Bollywood actor Salman Khan is linked to a UK-based mobile number, the Mumbai Police has said.

According to reports quoting sources in the Mumbai Police, the email ID from which the threat was made revealed that it was linked to a mobile number in the UK and efforts are underway to trace the person under whose name the number was registered.

Mumbai Police probing the threat e-mail case received by actor Salman Khan have found a British link.

Last week, gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldie Brar and Rohit Garg were booked under sections 506(2),120(b) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in a case registered at the Bandra Police Station for allegedly sending threatening emails superstar Salman Khan’s office.

Salman Khan is currently under a Y+ category security cover provided by the Mumbai Police; a step taken by the Maharashtra government after the superstar had received a similar death threat from Lawrence Bishnoi gang earlier.

A death threat letter was sent to Salman and his father Salim Khan last year, which was discovered by the Khans’ security team near the Bandra Bandstand promenade outside the actor’s Mumbai home where Salim goes for his routine morning run.

In October last year, the Delhi Police revealed that in the purported plan to assassinate Salman Khan, the member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang tried to befriend the staff of the actor’s farmhouse in Mumbai in a bid to ascertain the details about the timings of his entry and exit.

Earlier this week, security was tightened outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments after he received a death threat via an email from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

The email, reportedly sent by Rohit Garg, mentioned that Lawrence Bishnoi wants to meet Salman Khan in person. Bishnoi wants Salman Khan to apologize in public for killing blackbuck in 1998.

The e-mail stated Salman Khan must have seen the interview given recently to a news channel by Lawrence Bishnoi, and if not, he should see it. It further said if Khan wants to close the matter, he should talk face-to-face with Goldy bhai (Goldy Brar), adding there is still time but “agli bar, jhatka dekhne ko milega (next time you’ll have to face the music).”

Lawrence Bishnoi warned the actor that he would crush his ego sooner or later if he doesn’t apologize.

Lawrence Bishnoi is currently behind bars after was he arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on November 23 last year for allegedly hatching a conspiracy to recruit youth for carrying out terror attacks in Delhi and other parts of the country.

The notorious gangster is also suspected to be behind last year’s brutal gangster-style murder of popular Punjabi singer-rapper Sidhu Moosewala. Bishnoi is the prime suspect in Moosewala’s killing.

In a recent controversy, a Punjab-based news channel allegedly aired a live interview of Bishnoi from inside the Bathinda jail, however, the Punjab Prisons administration denied reports that the program was shot inside any prison in the AAP-ruled state.
