Modi hits back at Nitish over his 'secular PM candidate' remark

Clean Media Correspondent

Patna, June 19 (CMC) Soon after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar made clear his opposition to his Gujarat counterpart Narendra Modi, the BJP's poster boy hit back taking a jibe at the JD(U) leader's secular prime ministerial candidate remarks.
Modi took to micro-blogging site Twitter, apparently taking a dig at Kumar.
"Will is caused by character, and character by Karma. As is Karma, so is the manifestation of the will," he tweeted.
Modi's retaliation came over Kumar's interview to a national daily wherein the latter had asked JD(U)'s alliance partner BJP to name its prime ministerial candidate with secular credentials before the 2014 general election.
Kumar had hinted that he would not accept Modi as the prime ministerial candidate, saying that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) could not afford a leader with a non-secular background.
In a move pointed at queering the pitch for Modi, Kumar urged the BJP to name a prime ministerial candidate who should have secular credentials and liberal frame of mind.
Kumar has habitually been careful in maintaining a distance from Modi because of the latter's anti-minority image following the post-Godhra 2002 riots.
Later, talking to Headlines Today, the Bihar chief minister admitted to the views he had expressed in his interview.
When Headlines Today asked Kumar to confirm whether he had said at a JD(U) meeting that the NDA's prime ministerial candidate must be secular, he replied, "What I said in the JD(U) meeting is it necessary for me to repeat here?"
When referred to his interview that appeared in the daily, Kumar said, "What can I do if it has appeared in the newspaper? I don't leak things. I do what I have to do."

'386 phishing incidents reported between Jan-Oct'
Clean Media Correspondent 


New Delhi, Nov 25 (CMC): The government on Friday said 386 'phishing' incidents were reported to the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) between January and October this year.
"There have been incidents reported to CERT-In by law enforcement agencies on the hacking of email accounts and posting of objectionable content, including videos, on the internet, especially on social networking websites, damaging the reputation of individuals," Minister of State for Communications and IT Sachin Pilot said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha. 
The term, 'phishing', is used to describe attempts to acquire information like user names, passwords and credit card details by posing as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. 
Communications from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public. 
Phishing is typically carried out by e-mail spoofing or instant messaging and it often directs users to enter details on a fake website that looks almost identical to the legitimate one. 
A large number of phishing incidents leading to hacking of bank accounts have also been reported to CERT-In by banks and financial institutions, Pilot said. 
"A total of 508 and 386 phishing incidents have been reported to CERT-In in the year 2010 and during January-October, 2011, respectively," Pilot said. 
He said the IT Act, 2000, has already been amended by the IT (Amendment) Act, 2008, to provide a legal framework to address prevalent cyber crimes. 
"Sections 66, 66A, 66B, 66C, 66E, 66F, 67, 67A and 67B provide stringent punishment ranging from imprisonment of three years to life imprisonment and fine for various acts of cyber crime, including tampering with computer source documents, hacking of computers and publishing of obscene information," he said. 
Pilot added that the IT Act, 2000, is a comprehensive Act to provide a legal framework for electronic commerce and to enable e-governance.
