| Modi govt’s J&K policy has created space for Pakistan to misbehave, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has said. Modi has created an environment in Jammu and Kashmir of hatred and anger, and the only people who benefit from violence are the Pakistanis, Rahul said, adding that their (Congress leaders’) efforts of 10 years were “destroyed by Modi in one month”. His attack on the government comes a day after the PM, in his Independence Day address, reached out to the Kashmiris, saying abuses and bullets would not resolve their problems but embracing them would. |

| The government has issued a notice to smartphone makers, including Chinese companies over hacking fears. The government fears hacking at the hands of mobile phone makers, mostly Chinese (such as Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi and Gionee), as they are believed to be stealing personal information of users such as contact lists and messages. Other non-Chinese companies such as Apple, Samsung and Indian makers like Micromax are also among the 21 companies that have been sent a notice by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. |
| The Supreme Court has asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to probe Kerala’s ‘love jihad’ case.

The Court also said that after getting inputs from the NIA and Kerala police probe, it would interview Akhila (the Hindu woman who converted to Islam for marrying a Muslim man) to ascertain her views. |
