On the issue of increase in flow of credit to minorities,

banking in the country, the prime minister indicated that he
would hold discussions with Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
On concerns over the Foreign Currency Regulation Act,
Singh said two Group of Ministers have been set up for the
proposed amendments to the Act and for the Equal Opportunity
Commission.
The members had highlighted the problems faced by the
minority institutions which face difficulties in getting the
required sanctions and recognitions.
The regulatory mechanism for educational institutions
should be simplified and the government should see that the
recognition procedures to the institutions, particularly to
the Muslim educational institutions are simplified, they said.

suspect detainees who have been jailed for a very long time
without proper trial. PTI SKU
