Amit Shah to release BJP's manifesto in Jammu, Parliament panel may summon Sebi chief

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will launch the BJP's poll campaign and release the party's manifesto during his two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir beginning Friday. Shah's visit comes at a critical time for the BJP in J&K as the party faces growing challenges ahead of the assembly elections with several leaders and workers protesting and some of them leaving the saffron party after being denied tickets. In other news, Parliament's Public Account Committee (PAC) may summon Sebi chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch during a performance review of regulatory bodies, sources told India Today. The development comes at a time when the Congress has accused the Sebi chairperson of "holding an office of profit at ICICI" - a charge firmly denied by the bank.
