Sri Sri Ravi Shankar meets prime minister of Iraq

Erbil, Nov 21 (ANI): Indian spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar met Prime Minister of semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq, Nechirvan Barzani, and discussed plans to psychologically rehabilitate war-ravaged people. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar plans to teach yoga and meditation to a group of war-weary Iraqis, whom he hopes will extend their new-found inner peace to their nation. The Islamic State (IS) has caused international alarm by capturing large expanses of Iraq and Syria, declaring an Islamic "caliphate" that extends across the border between the two. His teachings are based on ancient principles of yoga, but he has added elements of his own and aligned it with meditation techniques. Nov 22, 2014

US President Obama gives push to Immigration laws, says 'will never give up' Part-2

Las Vegas, Nov 22 (ANI): A day after unveiling plans for immigration reform, United States President Barack Obama signed the executive order designed to bring about those changes at a high school in Nevada. Obama said that he will not give up on the reforms and will do whatever to make the senates pass the bill on the same. This is the president's most extensive use of executive power in a year in which they have become his signature way of working around congressional gridlock. The order eases the threat of deportation for some 4.7 million undocumented immigrants. While speaking in Nevada, President Obama said that the nation has lost more than a year not passing the bill on immigrants which leads families to part and business entrepreneurs to leave which US can no longer afford. Meanwhile, he also announced about the temporary relief to the immigrants in US, a nation which goes with principle of fairness and democracy and justice to all irrespective of their background and nationality.
