Wall Street slips as countdown to Trump's swearing-in begins
NEWSPAPER HEADLINES
RBI Governor Urjit Patel's appearance before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance dominates the front pages in all the papers. On the question of how much of the demonetised currency had been deposited back in the banks, The Hindustan Times writes "Urjit Patel can't give deposit figures". The Business Line quotes Mr Patel as telling the panel "Note ban will hurt growth". Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh telling the RBI Governor that he needn't answer a question asked by a Congress MP is taken note of by all the papers with the Times of India writing "Manmohan comes to the rescue to the defence of RBI governor".
Photographs of people swarming the Marina Beach in Chennai in protest against the Jalikattu ban are splashed across the front pages of most newspapers. The Pioneer writes "Upsurge to defend 'Tamil culture'". The Indian Express lead states "Waves of protest hit Tamil Nadu over Jalikattu ban, CM to meet PM".
All the papers prominently notice Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar's comments on China at the second edition of the Raisina Dialogue. The Indian Express quotes him as saying "On corridor via POK, China showed no sensitivity".
The decision to divest government stake in state owned general insurance companies is widely noticed. The Tribune states "Government to divest 25% stake in general insurance PSUs".
The issue of Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani's educational qualifications in the backdrop of an RTI application seeking details on it is back in media focus. The Asian Age quotes Delhi University's School of Open Learning as telling the Central Information Commission, "Smriti told Delhi University not to give info on her degrees".
On the acquittal of Bollywood actor Salman Khan in an Arms Act case, the Hindustan Times reports "Salman off hook in Arms Act case for lack of proof".
And finally....in a curtain raiser to a possibly new world of journalism, the Times of India reports "China daily publishes first article by a robot". The paper says that the article is 300 characters long and was written in just a second.
