The vehi- cle, which was stationed at a parking lot, went down the gorge at Chandanwari area after the driver failed to ap- ply hand brake, they said. All the 10 pilgrims were rushed to Anantnag district hospital. "One of the pil- grims later succumbed to injuries while condition of two others was stated to be critical," police said, adding that the critically injured persons were being airlifted to a hospital in Srinagar for treatment. With today's death, the number of pil- grims who have died during the ongoing yatra has climbed to 19, they said. Srinagar, July 26 (PTI) Curfew was today lifted from all parts of Kashmir, ex- cept Anantnag town, after 17 days of unrest in the Valley in which 47 persons were killed and 5500 others injured in clashes following killing of Hizbul Mujahideen com- mander Burhan Wani. "Curfew has been lifted from all parts of Kashmir except Anantnag town, today," a po- lice official said. The official said there is no curfew or re- strictions on the movement of the people in the district. "However, in other parts of the Valley, restrictions on as- sembly of four or more people will continue to maintain law and order," the official said. Curfew was imposed across Kashmir on July 9, a day after killing of Wani, as a precau- tionary measure. However, violent clashes between protestors and secu- rity forces saw 47 persons in- cluding two policemen killed while 5500 others were in- jured. Mobile telephony, mo- bile Internet services and train services remained sus- pended for 18th day while schools, colleges and other ed- ucational institutions also re- mained closed due to a strike called by the separatist groups. The separatist camp, which is spearheading the protests against civilian killings, has already an- nounced a relaxation in the strike from 2 PM onwards to- day. However, they have called for three days of shut- down from tomorrow to July 29. The separatist groups have also called for a march to Kulgam tomorrow. New Delhi, Jul 26 (PTI) Steering away from Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti's comment that AFSPA should be revoked from some areas on experimental basis, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today said the issue comes under the Home Ministry and it needs to take a call on the matter. He said the Army was involved in se- curity on the border and in counter-insurgency grid in the militancy-hit state. "I think the Home Ministry needs to take a call on it. We only operate. As of now, we are operating only in the bor- der and counter-insurgency grid. We do not operate in the normal sphere of the state's law and order," Parrikar said when asked about Mehbooba's comments. He said that as far as Army is concerned, it has en- sured that the border re- mains sealed and no infiltra- tion bid is successful. "We are doing our job properly," he said. Mehbooba had on Sunday asked the Centre to revoke AFSPA -- the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act -- on trial basis from selected areas as a beginning towards "winning the hearts" of peo- ple.

As the country cele- brates the Kargil Vijay Divas to- day, the 52-year-old war hero re- calls the turbulent days when he had put his life on the line fighting the enemy forces. "It was a close shave for us on innumerable occa- sions. I had providential escape from claws of death. It was God's grace and prayer of near and dear ones that I could survive against all odds," he recalled. Memories of war in the hostile hilly terrain and snow-clad mountains are still deeply etched in the memory of Sahoo, who is from Chanchunia village in this district. "We had to wage battle against both the Pakistani forces and in- hospitable weather condition. We had to trek through miles of snowy layers amid minus temper- ature. However, indomitable willpower to get the better of the enemy led our forces to emerge victorious," he says. He recalls the team spirit and soaring patriotic fervor of his unit. "The war lasted for sixty days. I was at the battle- front for more than a month. Our unit had razed to ground a number of Pak bunkers and we also killed Pak soldiers by grenade attack in Drass sector. "Our unit did effec- tive use of artillery and machine guns besides grenades. The enemy forces were no match to our supe- rior arms power," he said. He took a break from army job in 2015 after rendering service to the country for three decades in Kashmir, Punjab, Leh and Siachen sectors. "The Kargil war was the glori- ous feather in my cap as a soldier. Now, I am living in my village and drawing a monthly pension of Rs 30,000. I am happy the Union gov- ernment accepted our demands of One Rank One Pension last year," said Surendra. He was decorated with five medals, including 'Operation Vijay' medal, for his heroic work during the Kargil War and for his services in Siachen sector. For the people of Chachunia and its nearby areas, Surendra Kumar Sahoo is their role model. More than a dozen youths from the area have made their way to defence and para-military force jobs. They were inspired by war- hero Surendra, said a local Ramakant Swain. Jammu, Jul 26 (PTI) As the protest by Kashmiri pandit employees entered 13th day today after they fled Kashmir due to the alleged stone pelting by mobs on their transit camps, Jammu BJP unit today asked them that they have to even- tually return to the Valley even as the employees termed it a "mere eyewash". A four-member BJP team which included MLCs Surinder Ambardar and Ramesh Arora, State General Secretary Narinder Singh and President Minority Cell Chand Bhat today met the protesting employees and told them that it were not the employees only but the entire Kashmiri pandit community has to return to the Valley and settle there. "Our resolve is that entire Kashmiri pan- dit community has to return and settle in Kashmir. Every single soul wherever they are living have to go back in a way that they don't get dis- placed again," Ambardar said. He said they will create an environment in the Valley for the return of migrant pan- dits and will even talk to sep- aratists if they come forward for peace in the state. "Many miscreants in Kashmir Valley targeted the camps of Kashmiri Pandit employees in stone pelting in places like Vessu, Kupwara, Mattan, Haal and others," Ambardar said. Hitting out at Pakistan, he said "Pakistani Prime Minister is apprehending a coup in the country and has instigated violence in Kashmir which led to the at- tack on Kashmiri pandit camps". Meanwhile, the protesting employees termed the "assurances" by BJP lead- ers as a "mere eyewash". "It was only after 13 days that the BJP leadership woke up from its deep slumber and came here to enquire what our problems are. They should have come with a so- lution, National Spokesman, All Party Migrants Coordination Committee, King Bharti said. He alleged that Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh during his two-day Kashmir visit "did not enquire about the em- ployees".

Jammu, July 26:

Jammu MunicipalCorporation (JMC) todaystarted intensive drive for re-moving 47 un-authorizedhoardings installed in the lim-its of the corporation. Thedrive as police said that unau-thorized hoardings installedM/s Super Publicity Pvt Ltd inWard Number 1 to 48 underoverall directions of MandeepKaur, Commissioner, JammuMunicipal Corporation whopossesses advertising rightsonly for Ward Nos. 49 to 71. Anofficial statement said, M/sBrite Neon Sign (P) Ltd. whohas been awarded sole rightsfor advertisement in WardNos. 1 to 48 by JammuMunicipal Corporation repre-sented before this office andthey have reflected their in-ability to install hoardings atthe locations allotted to themdue to encroachment of saidlocations by M/s. SuperPublicity Pv t. Ltd. Whencalled the representatives ofM/s. Super Publicity in the of-fice of Commissioner, JMC forascertaining the facts theystated that few of the sites al-lotted to them have come un-der road widening need to bereplaced by new sites. Aftergoing through the representa-tions of M/s. Brite Neon (P)Ltd., the Commissioner, JMCcalled a meeting on 23.07.2016to verify the factual positionfrom the record. After hearingM/s. Brite Neon (P) Ltd. a pre-

liminary survey of these areaswas conducted and photogra-phy of the sites was also done.It was found during surveythat sites allotted to M/s. BriteNeon (P) Ltd. are being used bysome unknown persons andobservations of M/s. BriteNeon (P) Ltd. were found cor-rect. The original file has beenfound missing from the office,the authenticated list of sitesallotted to Super publicity arenot available in the office.From the re-generated filethese facts have come to thenotice of JMC CommissionerOfficials said, ward number49-71 were allotted to Superpublicity in 2012 for 4 years for20000sft area of advertisementsites. As original file has beenfound missing from our office,

the authenticated list of suchsites is not available in our of-fice. The advertiser says thatthe list provided by them is au-thentic but that has no basis orsource. He said that its part oftender document, but copy oftender document has also notbeen provided by them. Theysaid that even if we rely on thelist provided by them, it gives27 sites in ward no.49-71 only,which they were entitled touse, and they represented thatfew of the sites have come un-der road widening and henceneed to be replaced by newsites. Vide order dated 17.8.13,these 4 sites were cancelledand 9 new sites were given tothem. This order has also beenprovided by them, but as dulysigned by the officer of JMC,

and hence can be relied upon.Number other document hasbeen provided by them whichgives them right to any moresite or advertisement area andthey have duly paid 3 years oflicense fees. But demand no-tice of this year has beenstayed by High Court orderdated 11.4.16 on the groundthat they have not been able toutilize about 16000sft area ourof 20000 sft area due to variousreasons. This is absolutelybaseless, as on ground inspec-tion shows that in addition totheir own wards where theyhave utilized most of thespace, in ward no.1-48 alsothey have utilized ILLEGAL-LY about 18000sft area on regu-lar basis. A survey report is al-so enclosed and part of this

file. Ward no.1-48 has recentlybeen allotted to Brite Neon PLtd. On their report, only thissystematic racket which wasrunning in JMC for the pastmany years could be busted,where super publicity wasconveniently utilizing all ad-vertisement space of JMCwithout any payment, in collu-sion with JMC officials.Tender for ward no.1-48 wasbeing failed in an organisedmanner for the past 2 yearsand despite issuing tenders for8 times, no bidder used to par-ticipate due to "high rates".Actual reason was, the entirespace was being used by Superpublicity leaving few siteswith JMC which used to be al-lotted at the rate ofRs.6/sft/day which was someager that no one wantedthis tender to succeed. Wardno.1-48 is the old city whichhas all prime locations andmaking these wards availablefor advertisement at dirtcheap rates was a win win situ-ation for everyone, except forthe state exchequer. JMC is go-ing to hold thorough enquiryand fix responsibility in thiscase of the officials involved.Yesterday's operation wasconducted in ward no.1-48when 47 illegal sites of superpublicity have been removed.Their claim that these siteswere allotted to them have nobasis, as no document provid-ed by them could prove it.They have used the space evenat those locations, which werecancelled at their request of

unavailability and in lieu ofwhich alternate space hasbeen provided to them in wardno.1-48. We have not touchedthose 9 locations. Rest 47 loca-tions illegally occupied bythem have been cleared, aftergiving them opportunity of be-ing heard and after examiningthe documents provided bythem. Following facts need tobe analysed by the enquirycommittee like list of ap-proved sites is not even part ofdocuments submitted by thesuper publicity. This needs tobe taken from the party, if thatthe approved list, why are theycrying for the demolition ofsites at other locations, whichhave been removed yesterdayand under which authoritythey utilized that space, and ifthey agree that they have uti-lized that space, why are theynot paying license fees for thesame and have taken JMC tothe court. They are claimingthat few of the sites were un-available. But that part of thegame. In this business, youwill not get to use all the sitesat all the times. The responsi-bility of getting advertisementto them is not JMC's responsi-bility. But on that ground thatsome of their space could notbe utilized (which is alsowrong as they have utilized al-most triple space, as per pho-tography done by JMC day be-fore, which shows that theyhave used the unapproved lo-cations), they cant claim morespace or extension or refuse topay license fees.

Commenting on a pressnote issued by Congress titled,“BJP’s Attitude towards J&Kunfriendly”, Brig Anil Gupta,state spokesperson ofBharatiya Janata Party said,“Truth is always bitter to swal-low is a well-known universalfact. The CongressSpokesperson would havedone well by giving a point bypoint rebuttal of the statedfacts rather than giving a ser-mon to the spokesperson of an-other political party. In anycase, political parties are notmandated to give certificatesto other political parties ortheir leaders, this prerogativerest with the learned public.The job of the political partiesis to place facts before the pub-lic and leave it for the later tojudge.” ‘It is only when the par-ties are bereft of any issuesthat they resort to issuingvague statements and levy un-substantiated allegations as inthe instant case, on the otherparties. In doing so they forgettheir past record and perform-

ance. By side-tracking the is-sue to “contribution to the na-tion of Gandhi-Nehru family”,the Congress spokespersonhas accepted the fact that hehad nothing to counter the ar-gument that the Kashmir im-passe is a legacy of this family.Instead of indulging in blame-game for the current situationCongress will do well to coop-erate in restoring the normal-cy in Kashmir, advised BrigGupta.

It is true that “Congressneeds no certificate of patriot-ism from BJP” as claimed bythe Congress spokespersonbut what he has to say to thecertificate given by HafizSaeed, a proclaimed interna-tional terrorist, who in an in-terview to a Pakistani newschannel is reported to havepraised a few Congress leaderswho said to BJP that,“Pakistan is not responsiblefor what is happening inKashmir,” questioned BrigGupta. Congress party is thor-oughly exposed and needs toclarify to the people of Jammuand Ladakh its stand on the de-mand of ‘greater autonomy’.

wounds,” said Sharma. Thepeople of all the three regionsof J & K State are pro-democra-cy and believe in the idea of de-centralisation of power thiswas the reason that over 80percent voting was recordedduring last panchayat elec-tions, even in most militancyaffected areas of the state, be itValley or in Jammu peopledaring all odds chose the dem-ocratic process but now thisamendment in the PR Act mayloose their faith and then theentire liability shall be on theshoulders of the Coalition gov-ernment.

the Jammu and KashmirPanchayati Raj Act throughthe amendments, he said themembers of these political par-ties supported the bill in theassembly but pretended to op-pose it before the people andtheir bluff have also been ex-posed.

Indians have been described as argu-mentative. In everyday usage, it meansthey argue for the sake of arguing. Andthere is more than just a grain of truth init. Look at the criticism of the current dis-pensation at the Reserve Bank of India(RBI). There was a lot of debate about themembership of the Monetary PolicyCommittee to be set up. Who will appointthe members? Will the RBI Governorhave the final say, etc…? Then there wasthe red herring about the green card (punintended). These issues could be poten-tially important. But nothing could be asimportant as the present regime at theRBI foisting an inflation-targeting frame-work for the conduct of monetary policywithout much debate (though some aca-demics had written on it when it was firstsubmitted). In my opinion, the Urjit PatelCommittee Report (referred to as the re-port below) that suggested this frame-work is an example of copy-and-pastefrom foreign policy sources. Even this isdone inconsistently. I focus attention onthe report, as the new regime in the RBIreadies to implement it. Goals of mone-tary policy Let us start at the beginning.What should the goals of the monetaryauthorities be? Some obvious desirablecandidates are full employment (or a

high growth path), low inflation, finan-cial stability, budget balance and exter-nal balance (what used to be called equi-librium in the balance of payments). Andinevitably there are serious trade-offs be-tween these objectives. High growth cancome accompanied by stress in the bank-ing system (as happened in the U.S. in therun-up to the financial crisis), or with ahuge current account (of the balance ofpayments) deficit (this implies growth isfunded by international borrowing).

In the advanced capitalist countries,the professional consensus has moved to-wards inflation targeting as the objectiveof monetary policy (after the LehmanBrothers crisis of 2008, the importance offinancial stability is not debated). Thebroad argument in favour of inflationtargeting runs as follows (also repeatedin the report): monetary policy cannotsignificantly alter the level of employ-ment (or not for any length of time) — thisis determined by “real factors” such asproductivity, labour market rigidities,and possibly the fiscal stance of the gov-ernment. Monetary policy should targetnominal variables, such as rate of infla-tion. Targeting inflation comes from abelief that policy should be simple andtransparent, so that the private sectorcan factor this into their decision-mak-

ing. The question that this poses is: arethere more “complicated” policies whichare better? I just note that one such policyis called “nominal income targeting”.But it is more complicated and the pri-vate sector is deemed to be intellectuallychallenged. An engineer building abridge picks the best plan and not the onethat motorists find easy to comprehend.But let that be. Inflation targeting andIndia In these countries, inflation target-ing could be the desirable policy becausethere is no restriction on the movementof (financial) capital; the issue of balanceof payments needing policy interventionis not even on the menu. Their interestrates equal the interest rate in the rest ofthe world (interest parity holds) and thecountry concerned can borrow abroad tofinance the deficit for example, the U.K.has been running a current accountdeficit close to 8 per cent of GDP that nodeveloping country could get away with.

But more relevant here is that thereis no pressure on the Bank of England tointervene to correct this. As a matter offact, the macroeconomic distinction be-tween a developed and a developing econ-omy is that the latter needs to settle itsdebt in an internationally accepted cur-rency. Being in possession of real estateor natural resources is not enough, since

foreign lenders will not accept rupees.Thus, at the very least, a developing econ-omy also needs to have some notion of ex-ternal balance. On the external front, thereport says the RBI should intervene tosmooth exchange rate volatility. It alsodiscusses what the RBI should do in theface of large foreign capital inflows andoutflows. To insure against outflows, itsays, India needs a war chest of foreignexchange reserves. And this is generatedby intervening in foreign exchange mar-kets during periods of foreign inflows,via something called “sterilised inter-vention”. But the takeaway from the re-port is that the external sector needs at-tention in emergencies, not on an ongo-ing basis. So is India like a developedcountry that can disregard the externalconstraint? India is a fairly open econo-my, reliant on foreign capital flows. Goneare the days when we could think of our-selves as a closed economy not reallyworried about foreign trade and pay-ments. I note, en passant, that even whenthis was true (before liberalisation), wehad two major balance of paymentscrises that altered the subsequent trajec-tory of the economy — the first one con-tributing to the “socialism” of IndiraGandhi, and the second one leading to lib-

Flawed premise, misplaced prescriptionGlimpses of future

During two day visit to Kashmir to have on spot assessment of sit-uation Home Minister Rajnath Singh has clearly told Pakistan thatGovernment of India will not tolerate terrorism in any form. Homeminister had made a right statement because Pakistan has doublestandards on terrorism. On one hand Pakistan attacked Lal Masjid(in Lahore) to kill terrorists but on the other hand it is sending gunsfor youth of Kashmir. This should be stopped. During his visit he hadmade effort to reach out to the people in Kashmir. He has tried tomade emotional ties with Kashmiris and not a need-based relation-ship and has expressed the willingness to talk to whosoever neededonce peace and normalcy is restored in the Valley. Union HomeMinister has also directed security forces to refrain from using pelletguns against crowds as much as possible even as he awaits a report ofa committee set up by him to look into the use of non-lethal weapons.During his stay in the Valley, Rajnath met 30 delegations including agovernment team led by Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and an op-position National Conference (NC) team headed by Omar Abdullah.At a press conference at the end of his visit to Srinagar and Anantnag,Rajnath has warned the neighbouring country not to interfere inIndia’s internal affairs and that it should change its attitude and ap-proach towards Kashmir. Giving a strong message to Pakistan hehas said that there is no need of any third force to improve situationin Kashmir. Pakistan’s role is not ‘paak’ (pure) towards Kashmir.Centre is willing to talk to whosoever needed once peace and normal-cy is restored in the state. He had clearly said that government wouldreview the use of pellet guns and a committe has already been set upby him to look into the use of non-lethal weapons which will give itsreport in two months. If there are any differences or disapprovals,they can be resolved through talks mutually. If there is place ofKashmiriyat in democracy, it will only be of humanity.The people ofthe entire country want that Kashmir should once again become “fir-daus” (paradise). The loss of life during the ongoing unrest inKashmir is very unfortunate. The Centre is open to any constructivesuggestions for improving the situation in the Valley. All Kashmirisshould come forward with constructive suggestions for improvingthe situation in Kashmir. On his two-day visit, Rajanth has met 30delegations to get information and suggestions on how to restorepeace and normalcy in the Valley. He also visited Anantnag andheard the people there for one hour. He appealed to people ofAnantnag also to maintain calm and help in restoring peace and nor-malcy. The Home Minister has made it clear to one and all that therewas no need for involvement of a third power. There is no need of anythird force to improve situation in Kashmir. Pakistan should not in-terfere in internal matters of India.

HM’s clear message to Pak

By : Sudip Bhattacharyya

Consumer prices in India went up to5.77 per cent year-on-year in June, accel-erating for the third straight month andreaching the highest since August 2014.Figures came above market expectationsof 5.73 per cent due to high food cost.Inflation rate averaged at 7.67 per centfrom 2012 until 2016, reaching an all-timehigh of 11.16 per cent in November 2013and a record low of 3.69 per cent in July2015. Food inflation in June stood at 7.79per cent. Food, vegetables, pulses andsugar saw an increase in price of 12.72 percent, 28.28 per cent and 12.98 per cent re-spectively. Spices went up by 8.13 percent. Food items constitute 54.18 per centof the consumer price index.

As the Economic Survey of 2014-2015points out: “Recognising the need for set-ting up a national market, the UnionBudget 2014-2015 stated that the UnionGovernment would work closely withthe State Governments to re-orient theirrespective Agricultural Produce Market

Committee Acts, to provide for the estab-lishment of private market yards/pri-vate markets. The Budget also an-nounced that the State Governmentswould be encouraged to develop farmers'markets in town areas to enable them selltheir produce directly.” But theAgricultural Produce MarketingCommittee (APMC), in practice, is not fa-cilitating the establishment of privatemarket/yard and is actually helping a setof farmers control or manipulate pricingof agricultural produce. Further, riceand wheat have Minimum SupportPrice. This is not enjoyed by vegetable,fruit and pulse producers. Therefore,their production goes down ie their sup-ply falls and this shortage pushes up theprice. Therefore, it becomes difficult totackle food inflation which is a majorconcern for the Reserve Bank of India(RBI) and the Government of India.

On June 7, the RBI left its benchmarkrepo rate unchanged at a five-year low of6.5 per cent. The central bank too decidedto keep the cash reserve of scheduled

banks unchanged at four per cent, and tocontinue providing liquidity as requiredbut progressively lower the average exante liquidity deficit in the system fromone per cent of Net Demand and TimeLiabilities to a position closer to neutrali-ty. Interest rates in India averaged at 6.71per cent from 2000 until 2016, reaching anall-time high of 14.50 per cent in August2000 and a record low of 4.25 per cent inApril 2009. In February 2015, theGovernment and the central bank agreedto set a consumer inflation target of fourper cent, with a band of plus or minus twopercentage points from the financialyear ending in March 2017. When infla-tion is higher than the interest rate, thenthe value of one's savings decreases year-on-year. For example, if an economy hasan inflation rate of seven per cent peryear, and the interest rate is five per centper year, then in real terms, the value ofsavings is decreasing by two per cent peryear. Simply put, a negative real interestrate is a disincentive to save. Moreover,lowering interest rate reduces interest

earnings from fixed deposits by retiredpeople who largely live out of these sav-ings made in working life. Contrary topopular perception, retail lending is cur-rently quite robust. In fact, growth in re-tail lending, carried out by banks in 2015-2016 has been the highest since 2009-2010.The so-called high interest rates on banklending haven't had much of an impacton this front. Gross fixed capital forma-tion, an indicator of new capacity addi-tion by companies, contracted 1.5 percent in the three months to March thisyear, for the first time in seven years. At26.9 per cent of gross domestic product inthe January-March quarter, capital for-mation was the lowest (in base year 2004-2005 and 2011-2012), highlighting the mut-ed trend in private sector investments.Therefore, what is not moving is indus-trial lending. There is about one-thirdidle capacity in the manufacturing sectorand, therefore, there is not much demandfor industrial loan. Any reduction in in-terest rates may only help them reducetheir interest burden of existing borrow-ings. On the other hand, this reduces thereturn for the banks against the same lev-el of risk for the existing industrial loans.

Add Driving 101 to the syllabusBy : kuShan Mitra

Driver education is a part of the school syllabus in manycountries across the world. Maybe it is time that young Indiansat school are encouraged to take up the wheel as much as theytake up chemistry and mathematics. There is a reason for this,over the past year, according to official statistics, over 146,000people were killed on Indian roads and over 5,00,000 people wereinjured. If these figures do not raise alarm, god knows what will.It is truly a war-zone on the Indian roads, and the rule of law ortraffic regulation has made matters worse in many parts of thecountry. Encouraged by local politicians and by inadequate orcorrupt policing, roads are filled with vehicles that should notbe there. We celebrate jugaad in India, but on road, unautho-rised vehicles create death traps for children and adults alike.

We happily send our children to school, packed like sar-dines in vans and even those with money happily allow theirchildren to sit on the driver’s lap or the front seat. Road safetyinspectors from Western nations would probably have an heartattack when they see how Indians drive at roundabouts. Some ofthese challenges have to be met with better enforcement andpolicing along with regulation. Indeed, some welcome changeshave been made. The bus body code, notified by the Ministry ofRoad Transportation and Highways, has ostensibly made busessafer by prescribing what materials can be used as well as regu-lations for comfort, including specifying a certain seat pitch andceiling height. Of course, this has been opposed by a large num-ber of unorganised bus body builders who will now have to certi-fy every design. And this is not the first time that a livelihood ar-gument has been used to try and stall mean-meaning regulation.Tobacco farmers have opposed the new cigarette pack regula-tion, even though there is little doubt that lower rates of ciga-rette smoking is beneficial to public health programmes.Similarly, the new bus code should improve survivabilitychances in case of bus accidents. But much like smokers above40 years of age, there is a cogent argument that some older folkshave which is to say that they did not know better when theystarted smoking. Even though today it is a well-established factthat smoking cigarettes can lead to lung cancer among severalother ills, these facts only started emerging in the public con-sciousness around the early 1990’s. And while smoking isbanned at public places now, back then, smoking was allowedeven on airplanes. Indeed, some old aircraft still have passengerseat ashtrays. But today, every school kid is taught that smok-ing is bad for health. In fact, children are at the forefront ofsmoking cessation campaigns for adults. Much like anti-smok-ing campaigns, children have also been brought to the forefrontof the Modi Government’s Swachch Bharat campaign. There issome sense in this, it is extremely difficult for adults to changehabits. Again, to illustrate using the example of smoking, natu-ral cessation rates for smokers is under two per cent annually.

However, inculcating a habit of cleanliness in children is agreat way to make sure that the next generation is cleaner thanthe previous generations. One aspect where teaching childrenhas been successful has been the successful campaign to reducethe usage of fireworks on Diwali. Similarly, one can argue thatbad driving habits passes down from generation to generation.Children tend to pick up poor habits from observing thosearound them, with few punishments for poor driving, youngadults are often the worst drivers on the road although, theyshould legally not even be driving in some cases. There is littledoubt that every student in schools across India, and definitelyin urban India, will be exposed to the driving seat of a car or two-wheeler sooner than later. If these boys and girls are taught notjust theoretically but also practically, how to drive safely and se-curely on roads, this will dramatically improve the standards ofdriving in this country and one hopes that as a corollary, thenumber of deaths on Indian roads can be reduced. The system ofacquiring a driving license in India too is inefficient. Pimps out-side the license issuing authority will do their utmost to satisfytheir clients, so that people who should not get licenses can ac-quire them. And even if one State cleans up its licensing author-ity, given that a license is valid nation-wide, there is no stoppinganyone from acquiring a license. There are hundreds of

In an act of rare intellectual daring, the be-leaguered Hindus of Jammu & Kashmir havetaken recourse to the Constitution of India tohit back at the extreme majoritarianism prac-ticed by successive regimes in the State. TheSupreme Court has accepted a public interestpetition (489/2016) that was rejected by theJammu & Kashmir High Court, which accusessuccessive State Governments of siphoning offbenefits exclusively meant for minority com-munities under various Central and Stateschemes and giving them to others in an illegaland arbitrary manner. This is the first timesince the Calcutta Quran Petition (1985) thatHindus have acted in such an assertive man-ner. Long inured to being treated as secondclass citizens on account of the special status(Article 370) bestowed upon the State by firstPrime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to pamperLord Louis Mountbatten’s protégé, SheikhMohammad Abdullah, Hindus have tended tobe quietist for most of the past seven decades.

The situation did not change substantiallyeven after the violent expulsion of Hindu fami-lies from the Kashmir valley in the winter of1990. But in recent weeks, Jammu familieshave begun to feel the pressure and to quietlymigrate (over 200 so far, according to informedsources) to save themselves from a plight simi-lar to that of Kashmiri Pandits, who have notbeen rehabilitated after over a quarter of a cen-tury of exile. As militancy spreads in Kashmirvalley, with violent mobs not sparing even po-

licemen, Hindus are feeling increasingly inse-cure. Many Jammu residents, especially ex-servicemen families, are now organising to re-sist. They won a major victory last month byscuttling the Peoples Democratic Party-ledGovernment’s attempt to pass the Jammu &Kashmir Alienation of Land and Transfer ofProperty Act by getting it referred to a selectcommittee of the Assembly. The Bill was ap-proved by the Cabinet on June 23, with the BJPmembers not realising its implications tillPawan Gupta, MLA (independent, Udhampur),raised the alarm. The impugned legislationaimed to freeze sale of land by power-of-attor-ney and agreement-to-sell in Jammu divisionto prevent non-permanent residents from pur-chasing land. This would prevent non-Statesubjects from buying land to set up industry orbusinesses in Jammu (as is the case in theKashmir valley), and deny employment oppor-tunities to Jammu youth. Another clause de-nied rights to ancestral property to a woman(and her progeny) if married a non-State sub-ject and living outside the State. Ultimatelythese issues would impact the demography ofJammu and create a Kashmir-like situationthere. But now, acting on a petition fromJammu lawyer and social activist, AnkurSharma, a Supreme Court bench headed byChief Justice TS Thakur has issued notices tothe Centre and National Commission forMinorities regarding setting up of a StateMinority Commission in Jammu & Kashmir toidentify religious minorities like Hindus,Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians and disburse ben-

efits of Central and State welfare schemes tothem. In TMA Pai Foundation & Ors Vs State ofKarnataka & Ors (2002) and other decisions,the Supreme Court has ruled that linguisticand religious minorities are covered by the ex-pression “minority” under Article 30 of theConstitution. Since States were reorganised ona linguistic basis, the State will have to be theunit for the purpose of determining the minori-ty, and not the whole of India. It follows that re-ligious and linguistic minorities, put at par inArticle 30, must be recognised State-wise.Under this definition, the tiny Jain communityin Jammu & Kashmir (not listed as a nationalminority) would also be eligible for minoritybenefits. Despite the unequivocal nature of thejudgement, till date, Jammu & Kashmir has notpassed the State Minority Commission Act un-der which it can notify minorities vide the pre-scribed criteria. The Constitution of India doesnot define ‘minority’ but refers to ‘minorities’which are ‘based on religion or language’. It re-serves certain rights for minorities to protecttheir identity. Accordingly, the cultural andeducational rights of religious and linguisticminorities are embodied in Articles 29 and 30 ofthe Constitution. In Jammu & Kashmir,Kashmiri is recognised as the official languageof the State along with Urdu, but Hindus resentthe imposition of the Nastalik script (akin toArabic) instead of Devanagari or Sharadascript. Attempts to have the latter scriptsrecognised at par with Nastalik have failed sofar. Intervention by the Supreme Court maychange this. Although Jammu & Kashmir has a

separate Constitution, Part III of theConstitution of India has been extended to theState and hence the identification and notifica-tion of minorities is essential for enforcing thefundamental rights of citizens enshrined un-der Articles 29, 30, 14, 19 and 21 of the State ofJammu & Kashmir. In January 2012, theNational Commission for Minorities Act, 1992was amended and made applicable to Jammu &Kashmir. The immediate provocation for thepetition was that the Government of India of-fered 20,000 high value scholarships for 2007-2008 in technical professional education toidentified national-level minorities. In Jammu& Kashmir, Muslims (then 66.97 per cent of thepopulation, 2001 Census) received 717 scholar-ships (over 95 per cent), Christians (two),Buddhists (22) and Sikhs (12) out of a total of753. Yet the guidelines for implementation ofthe Prime Minister’s new 15-Point Programmefor Welfare of Minorities stipulate, “in States,where one of the minority communities noti-fied under Section 2 (c) of the NCM Act, 1992 isin fact in majority at State level, the earmark-ing of physical/financial targets under differ-ent schemes will be only for the other notifiedminorities”. Jammu & Kashmir is includedamong the listed States. As fundamental rights,with few exceptions, are inalienable naturalrights, they cannot be taken away by the StateLegislature or Parliament by omitting to legis-late in this regard. Diversion of minority rightsto the majority community is vote-bank poli-tics and abrogation of the fundamental rightsof minorities.

The troika of India’s economic troubles

By : Shivaji Sarkar

The National GreenTribunal’s order to ban diesel ve-hicles over 10 years in Delhi ismore populist than practical. TheTribunal must revise its order,and make sure that no vehicle, un-less not maintained properly, isneedlessly scrapped Some regula-tors like the National GreenTribunal (NGT) are functioningwith enthusiasm but are ignoringthe basic tenets of law and the im-pact on gradual wealth formationand economic growth. The NGT’sorder to regional transport offices(RTOs) in Delhi to de-registerdiesel vehicles which are morethan 10 years old is unscientific.The Tribunal’s concerns are morepopulist than practical. Removingabout 82,496 (registered in 2015)diesel vehicles in Delhi, or aboutfive lakh petrol vehicles everyyear, going by the 10-year and 15-year scrapping orders, will impov-erish the country, but will notsolve the pollution problem. All

over the country, numbers willswell to at least 10 crore a year.Ironically, the NGT’s order is incontradiction with the provisionsof the Motor Vehicles Act. A judi-cial or a quasi-judicial body is sup-posed to adhere to the law of land.The magistracy does that more ap-propriately. The NGT, on July 19said, “It is stated that vehicles arereleased by the magistrates afterimposing fine under the MotorVehicle Act and the vehicles sur-face again on the roads”. There isnothing like clean fuel. All fossilfuels coal, petrol, diesel, keroseneand also compressed natural gas(CNG) are unclean. Even electricvehicles’ batteries are pollutants.So should we ban any energy-pro-ducing substance? Buses that runon CNG are equally harmful forhumans as they emit nanocarbonparticles which can cause cancer.In 2010, a study by the the CentralPollution Control Board (CPCB)attributed about seven per cent ofparticulate matter pollution fromCNG-run vehicles. Of the total

particulate matter pollution loadin the capit(PM) al, the study said,52 percent was because of dust.The CPCB study said that CNG ve-hicles contribute about 10 per centof the total nitrogen dioxide loadin the capital. “CNG does not con-tribute much to PM 10 (which iswidely monitored). But it plays animportant role in the circulationof smaller particulate pollution of2.5 and one microns. These factsare known in the scientific com-munity but have not been dissemi-nated to people,” said a seniorCPCB scientist to the HindustanTimes on March 13, 2015.

The studies have come fromthe highest scientific bodies inIndia. Why we should not banCNG vehicles, if we have to go bythe logic of the NGT and courts.The CSIR and CPCB studies re-veal how utopian orders are beingpassed by bodies, which do notfunction on reality and practica-bility. Mere euphoria cannot solvethe problem. It can hurt the fledg-ling economy of a country that is

struggling to grow. It is also possi-bly hitting the efforts of PrimeMinister Narendra Modi, who istrying to bring the economy onfast track. Such orders take coun-try back by several decades. Thereis yet another aspect. About amonth ago, the civil aviation de-partment allowed aviation compa-nies to purchase 18-year-old air-craft, instead of 15-year-old, tomake air travel easier betweensmaller cities. The planes on do-mestic US flight are often as old as40 years. If these do no cause pollu-tion, how can a well-maintainedvehicle run on any fuel adheringEuro IV to VI norms would causeit? It is unfortunate that the NGThas not studied these aspects. Itowes an explanation to the nationfor its not so wise decision.Moreover, the NGT’s decision hascaused uncertainty in the car in-dustry. It has hurt the transportand taxi industry as it will not on-ly make travel unnecessarily diffi-cult but also costlier. SuchTughlaqi orders increase rent-

seeking and will also cause ha-rassment to the common man whowill find it difficult to make a liv-ing. So far it was only the police.The latest order has empoweredthe RTO to do it. To survive, thecommon man, be a private or com-mercial vehicle owner, wouldhave to pay illegal rents than facethe deprivation of his hard-earnedvehicle. Stringent impractical or-ders lead to a parallel economyand severe corruption. The NGT’sconcern is not unreal but the solu-tion is. Let the nation follow thestandards of maintaining a vehi-cle. As per the Motor Vehicle Act,which was drafted with utmostcare and practicability, vehiclesare allowed to have registrationeven after 15 years if these are insuitable conditions. Let the NGTset those standards in consulta-tion with the automobile indus-try. Let it learn from the aviationindustry where four-decade-oldaircraft are airworthy. Let no ve-hicle, unless not maintained prop-erly, be scrapped.

CONTN. FROM PAGE 6

Flawed premise .........................................................................eralisation. Thus, trade and capital flows have to be woven

into the proposed policy fabric. To go back to the report, I notehere that the very discussion of sterilised intervention impliesthat India’s financial markets are not integrated with world mar-kets (for that I say, “thank god”!). So what is sterilised interven-tion? When capital inflows occur, the RBI could do nothing andlet the rupee appreciate. If it chooses to intervene, it could buyforeign exchange. This would increase the supply of money, andpossibly cause inflation. So it may buy back the rupees by offer-ing government bonds. This is “sterilised intervention” ster-ilised because the policy leaves money supply unchanged. Butsince this policy increases the supply of government bonds, theyield on them must rise in order to make the public hold them.And this is possible only if the domestic interest rate can differfrom the international one. The whole notion of having adequateforeign exchange reserves, and acquiring them via sterilised in-tervention, means that we must pay attention to the details of theexternal sector. How much foreign exchange to buy? How muchsterilisation? Similarly for an outflow, the choice involves a de-preciation of the currency versus loss of reserves. But the natureof the external constraint is not just what I mentioned. You mayget the details of the intervention right, you may be a good boywith inflation and budget deficits under control, and yet facechaos. This is what happened to Latin America after Russia de-faulted in 1998. There was a reversal of capital flows that left themore open economies stranded. To not even consider such aneventuality in the design of the architecture of monetary policy issurely being foolhardy. Other developing economies that haveadopted inflation targeting often say “inflation-targeting plus”the “plus” suggesting that there are possible complications.

Finally, I note that East Asia has grown out of poverty by us-ing the exchange rate as a tool to generate demand for domesticgoods. The RBI Governor has said that today there is no space forsuch a strategy. But India’s trade balance has been in deficit(around 8 per cent of GDP till recently); a depreciated exchange

rate could surely claw back some of this demand by makingIndian products slightly more competitive in world markets. Notfactoring in supply shocks Not addressing the external con-straint is the biggest shortcoming of the report. There are alsoother examples of cut-and-paste. In an economy like India’s, whydoes monetary policy have nothing to say directly on supplyshocks, for example, a failure of the monsoon or a rise in oilprices? A narrow focus on consumer price index targeting meansthat adverse output shock like El Nino is relevant only if andwhen it feeds into inflationary expectations. And what will infla-tion targeting do? After a failed monsoon, and high food pricesthat have led people to expect high prices, policy would increaseinterest rates and have a prolonged period of demand compres-sion from a one-off monsoon failure. I note, though without fur-ther discussion, that nominal income targeting has been shownto be vastly superior in dealing with this kind of a shock.Similarly, if oil prices were to rise, one way of minimising the in-flationary impact of that is to let the exchange rate appreciate. Ifyou were half-conscious of the external balance, it is obvious youdo so at your peril (because then the pressure on the current ac-count is being compounded). Another example of cut-and-paste isthe box item on the so-called New Keynesian Phillips Curve.Whatever its usefulness in industrialised countries, to lift thisand use it to illustrate one’s preferred policy set-up in India is abit rich. The example in the report assumes no supply shocks.Also, is the price stickiness assumed there at all a decent repre-sentation of how goods prices are determined in the Indian econo-my? The RBI is about to embark on a new policy frameworkbased on poor economics. It reminds me of an episode of The TwoRonnies programme, where little Ronnie (Corbett) is doing acrossword. The clue was: “What is red and picked in a garden? Itis a four-letter word ending with SE?” Big Ronnie (Barker) says,“It is obvious Rose.” Little Ronnie suggests the appropriate an-swer is “Nose”. Now the latter answer is not incorrect but possi-bly a little off!

Add driving ..................................................................Government-approved driving schools, yet there is no certi-

fication course to become a driver trainer. Having undergoneseveral driver training classes over the years as an automotivereviewer, this writer has been taught the basic skills such as howto hold a steering wheel properly and how to adjust the seat posi-tion. Unfortunately, these basic and simple skills are not taughtin driving schools. Bad habits such as tripple riding on motorcy-cles and poor overtaking with cars, let alone mobile usage whileon the go, are allowed to fester like bad wounds. And the wound istaking a toll. In the past decade, over a million Indians died onthe roads, a large majority of them young, productive membersof society. Millions more have had life-threatening injuries orhave been crippled. Studies indicate that road accidents take a

significant chunk of India’s earning potential every year. Whileseveral automotive companies such as Maruti Suzuki and HeroMotoCorp have established driver training centers across thecountry, these are not being fully utilised. Maybe it is time thatthe Human Resource Development Ministry considered makingdriving and road safety a subject that is taught in schools. Not tobe graded for college admission, but just to teach the next genera-tion of Indians how to be better road users. Appreciating the factthat the education system in India is already overtaxed, maybethis should start as a pilot project in some urban schools. Even ifthe Ministry does not go down this route, maybe some school ad-ministrators can associate with automotive companies to startteaching kids how to be better drivers.

Bengaluru, July 26 : (PTI)

An international tribunalhas ruled that the Indian gov-ernment had acted "unfairly"and "inequitably" in annullinga contract between city-basedmultimedia firm Devas andISRO's commercial armAntrix, making it liable to payfinancial compensation.APermanent Court ofArbitration (PCA) tribunalbased in the Hague has foundthat the Indian government'sactions in annulling the con-tract and denying Devas com-mercial use of S-band spec-trum constituted an expropri-ation, Devas MultimediaPrivate Ltd. said here.In itsruling yesterday, the PCA tri-bunal also found that Indiabreached its treaty commit-ments to accord fair and equi-table treatment to Devas's for-eign investors, the companysaid in a statement here.ThePCA regularly administers

cases involving states, includ-ing investment treaty claimsbrought under arbitrationrules of the United NationsCommission on InternationalTrade Law (UNCITRAL).ISROofficials here said they wereyet to get details of the develop-ment.The ruling is the secondby an international tribunalarising out of the cancellationof the Devas-Antrixcontract.The unanimous deci-sion included the arbitratorappointed to the tribunal byIndia, Devas said.InSeptember 2015, in a jolt toAntrix, the InternationalChamber of Commerce's (ICC)arbitration body InternationalCourt of Arbitration had askedit to pay damages worth USD672 million (Rs 4,432 crorethen) to Devas Multimedia for"unlawfully" terminating thedeal five years ago on groundsof national security.TheTribunal then had noted thatAntrix had no legal justifica-

tion to terminate the agree-ment and that Dr K RRadhakrishnan, who at thetime of annulment, wasSecretary, Department ofSpace and Chairman of ISRO,Antrix and the SpaceCommission, could have pre-vented the Cabinet Committeeon Security (CCS) from ap-proving the annulment.CCShad annulled the deal based onthe recommendation of theSpace Commission on theground that it was not in thesecurity interests of the coun-try.The UPA government's ac-tion had come months afterthe Comptroller and AuditorGeneral of India came out witha report on the 2G scam thathad estimated a "presumptiveloss" of Rs 1.76 lakh crore dueto flawed spectrum allocationprocess.Under the deal signedin 2005, Antrix was to provide70 MHz of the scarce S-Bandwavelength to Devas for itsdigital multimedia services by

leasing 90 per cent of thetransponders in ISROs GSAT-6 and GSAT-6Asatellites.Devas, in turn, wasto pay Antrix a total of USD 300million over 12 years."Withthis PCA award, two interna-tional tribunals have nowunanimously agreed that fi-nancial compensation shouldbe paid after the annulment ofDevas's rights," said DevasChairman Lawrence Babbio,former Vice Chairman ofVerizon, the largest telecom-munications company in theUnited States."

Other courts in Franceand the United Kingdom haveagreed that the award againstAntrix ought to be enforced.We prefer a mutually agree-able resolution of this mat-ter."But until that occurs,Devas and its investors willcontinue to press their claimsbefore international tribunalsand in courts around theworld," he said.

NEW DELHI, July 26 :

The Supreme Court onTuesday countered TamilNadu's portrayal of jallikattuas an "age-old tradition" prac-tised far and wide in the State,saying child marriage was al-so once an "age-old tradition"before being declared acrime.The observation from aBench of Justices Dipak Misraand Rohinton F. Narimancame as senior advocateShekhar Naphade for TamilNadu pushed for a largerBench to hear its plea for lift-ing an apex court stay on aJanuary 7, 2016 notification al-lowing the exhibition and useof bulls for Jallikattu and bul-lock-cart races despite an ex-press ban from the apex courtin a judgment in 2014.TheBench responded that it wouldconsider the plea for a largerBench after hearing prelimi-nary arguments on constitu-tionality of the January notifi-cation. The case has been ad-journed to August 23.Movingthe Supreme Court in March,Tamil Nadu argued that if theSpanish Senate can in 2013find the "far more cruel" sportof bull-fighting a cultural her-itage, there is nothing wrongin farmers practising

Jallikattu in the semi-arid re-gions of Tamil Nadu.The apexcourt stay ordered on January12 came on a batch of petitionsfiled by various NGOs such asCompassion Unlimited PlusAction, People for EthicalTreatment of Animals Indiaand Federation of IndianAnimal ProtectionOrganisations in the SupremeCourt.In an earlier hearing onTuesday, the Bench had giventhe Centre more time to filetheir reply to the petitions andposted the case in July.The 22-page counter-affidavit filed bythe State delves into religiousmythology, the NationalFreedom Struggle, the “heroicpowers” of youths and how

bulls, like deer, are accus-tomed to running.For one, theaffidavit claimed thatJallikattu “traces its originsto Indus Valley civilisation”and there are terracottatablets which prove it.TheState then said that 'Jalli' isthe name of a “Yadav braveman with history dating backto the period of LordKrishna”.“Bull-baiting fig-ures in the Mahabharata alsodescribe Krishna controllinga ferocious bull in the fore-court of Kamsa's palace,”Tamil Nadu government said.The affidavit also finds linksfrom both ancient Tamil liter-ature and Sangam era “and be-yond”.It said of how rural

Tamil Nadu reacted to theSupreme Court's stay with a“deep sense of shock, disap-pointment and sadness” be-fore turning to global events tosupport their arguments infavour of Jallikattu.TamilNadu contended whyJallikattu is illegal when bull-fighting, where the animal iskilled, has been given consti-tutional protection as part ofcultural heritage.“The bloodysport of bull fighting which isfar more cruel and involvesthe killing of the bull is legal inat least eight countries includ-ing liberal and democraticcountries like France,” theState government argued.Itsaid Jallikattu inculcatesmartial spirit.

“Youth who have tradi-tionally taken part inJallikattu have also been atthe forefront of the armedstruggle against the British,”it said.Countering argumentsthat bull is a domesticatedbovine animal, the State com-pared it to other cloven-footedanimal who can run like deer.It said a bull spends less than30 seconds in the arena.TheState said Jallikattu bulls donot experience fear as theyhave been reared in a “villageatmosphere”.

Like Jallikattu, child marriage also an'age-old tradition', but is banned now: SC

The Sena chief, in thethird and final part of his in-terview to the party mouth-piece "Saamana", however,maintained that he would nev-er blackmail or backstab theally."In last June, we complet-ed 50 years since our adventand half the time, whichmeans 25 years, we were in al-liance (with the BJP)."Twentyfive years is a long time andwe grew up by holding handsof each other...but the way cer-tain things unfolded, includ-ing breaking up of alliance inprevious (assembly) elec-tions...now I feel that we wast-ed all these 25 years being inalliance...and these years gotrotten," Thackeraysaid.However, the Sena chiefsaid he was in touch withMaharashtra Chief MinisterDevendra Fadnavis and re-cently they had food togetherat 'Matoshree' - Uddhav's resi-dence in Bandra."In thosedays, the base of our alliancewas Hindutva, but now weneed to work out what is thebase of this alliance right now.Rest, I am in touch with theChief minister who is new, butI am closely monitoring hiscommitment and restless ef-forts, and I wish him to do wellin future," said Thackeray,who turns 56 tomorrow.To aquestion why he and his partykeeps on levelling allegationsagainst the government de-spite being a part of it, he said,

"This is why I lay stress onworking on the fundamentalsof our alliance and make themclear once again. Shiv Senahas never slapped baselessand wild accusations and nei-ther it made personal com-ments."On why the presentgovernment was "disregard-ing" ally Sena, the leader saidthere are elements trying tocreate an atmosphere of un-certainty."Yes, off course,there is uncertainty and thoseare frenemies... some are seenand some are disguised. Ithappens with everyone. But Iam not like that."The momentI feel that me and my party arenot getting proper treatment, Iwill not be in power. But I willnever blackmail the govern-ment. I will speak out, but nev-er backstab," saidThackeray.Thackeray alsotook a sarcastic swipe on theBJP over its failure to makeBihar, Tamil Nadu, WestBengal and Kerala "Congress-

Free" in elections in thosestates."Lalu Prasad Yadav hasbeen barred from contestingthe election, but his partyemerged as the biggest partyin Bihar. So is withJayalalithaa in Tamil Nadu."Iam naming these two personsbecause they have come out ofjail on corruption charges andeven then the people of thosestates have chosen them andmade them victorious with aheavy mandate," he pointedout."These results are like ajolt to those who boast of theirclean image.

Why the people of Bihar,Tamil Nadu, West Bengal andKerala rejected you (appar-ently referring to BJP) andchose them.

"Because the people ofthese states did not pay atten-tion to the tall promises, bigaddresses in rallies... theyfirmly decided that only theseare our leaders," Thackeraynoted.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh today rejected as "wild" thecharge by Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal that he "misbe-haved" with her after Rajya Sabha had been adjourned for the dayon Friday and said instead of her apologising she is seeking an apol-ogy.Badal has written to Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansariseeking "stern action" against Ramesh and another party MPRenuka Chaudhary, accusing them of using "derogatory language"against her which "violated her dignity both as a woman and a min-ister".Shiromani Akali Dal member Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa alsomoved a privilege motion against the two in Rajya Sabha and it ispending before the Chairman."I am sorry that the honourable min-ister and a senior leader from Punjab has levelled wild allegationsagainst me. I didn't say anything offensive," he toldreporters.Ramesh said he and Renuka will explain their positionsto the Chairman when asked.The Congress leader said he stillstood by what he had said to the Minister on July 22."I told her thatshe is a minister but her attitude does not conform to the dignity of aminister, that Rajya Sabha could not do anything about the offen-sive act of a member of another House except condemn it, and thatshe was deliberately doing what she did to scuttle the passage of pri-vate member's bill on special status for Andhra Pradesh. If usingwords like dignity, scuttle and sabotage are offensive, I can't sayanything," he said.In the Rajya Sabha, Dhindsa demanded that thetwo apologise for their behaviour or face privilege motion. He saida minister has the right to speak in any House and the permissionfor it was an issue strictly between the Chair and minister.Badalhad sought permission of the Chair to speak on AAP MP BhagwantMann's act of making a video of Parliament, he said and asked"What right do they have to obstruct?" Dhindsa also alleged that thetwo had misbehaved with Badal outside the House.DeputyChairman P J Kurien said the Chairman was seized of the matterand, if he desired, the concerned parties will be called.Sources saidAnsari is looking into the complaint and has asked for the otherside's version. He is likely to seek the version of some independentmembers too before initiating further action.

Bernie Sanders saysClinton ‘must become’next US presidentPhiladelphia July 26

Vanquished White House hopefulBernie Sanders on Tuesday told a rivenand lively Democratic convention thathis rival Hillary Clinton must becomethe next US president. To cheers andsome boos, Sanders said that “based onher ideas and her leadership,” Clintonwas a better choice than Donald Trumpand “must become the next president ofthe United States.” “The choice is noteven close,” he said. “This election isabout which candidate understands thereal problems facing this country andhas offered real solutions — not justbombast, not just fear-mongering, notjust name-calling and divisiveness.”

Japan stabbing: At least19 dead at disabledfacility near Tokyo

At least 19 people were killed inJapan when a knife-wielding man wenton a rampage at a care centre for thementally disabled early Tuesday, offi-cials said. Another 25 were wounded, 20of them seriously, in the attack inSagamihara city, 50 kilometres (30miles) west of Tokyo, a local fire depart-ment spokesman said. A 26-year-old manwho said he was a former employee ofthe centre later turned himself in at a po-lice station, admitting to officers: “I didit.” Police said they had received a callfrom the Tsukui Yamayuri-en centresometime after 2:30 am about a manarmed with a knife entering the facility.According to police cited by the AsahiShimbun daily, the suspect said: “Thedisabled should all disappear.” “Doctorsconfirmed the deaths of 19 people,” thefire department official told AFP. The al-leged assailant turned himself in after3:00 am (1800 GMT Monday), admittinghe had carried out the attack, a policespokesman said.

ISIS commander saysAfghanistan’sHazaras targetedover support for SyriaKabul July 26:

Islamic State is threatening more at-tacks against Afghanistan’s Hazara mi-nority after Saturday’s suicide blasts inKabul that killed 80 people, pledging toretaliate against support by some in themainly Shia group for the Assad regimein Syria. But assessing the threat fromDaesh, as Islamic State is known inAfghanistan, is difficult. Some questionwhether it was really responsible forSaturday’s blasts and some officials askwhether the ultra-radical Sunni move-ment, hitherto largely confined to anarea near the border with Pakistan, pos-es a wider challenge. A Daesh command-er who uses the name Abu OmarKhorasani said the bombing of the rallyby thousands of Hazaras protestingabout the route of a new power line wasin retaliation for the support offered bysome members of the community to theregime in Syria. Many Hazaras havegone through Shia-governed Iran tofight for the government of PresidentBashar al-Assad, a fellow Shia, againstIslamic State. “Unless they stop going toSyria and stop being slaves of Iran, wewill definitely continue such attacks,”the militant commander told Reuters bytelephone from an undisclosed location.“We can and we will strike them again.”The government says it has been hittingDaesh hard even before Saturday’sblasts, one of the most deadly attacks inthe country since the beginning of theTaliban insurgency in 2001. It said gov-ernment forces had killed hundreds ofinsurgents in the past two months in as-saults on Daesh strongholds in the east-ern province of Nangarhar, which strad-dles the highway from Kabul to thePakistani city of Peshawar. In the latestfighting, at least 122 insurgents werekilled in the past 24 hours, it said onTuesday. The numbers could not be in-dependently confirmed. Nevertheless,Saturday’s attack on the Hazara minori-ty adds a dangerous complication to thewar the Western-backed government inKabul has been fighting with Taliban in-surgents. As well as the risk of draggingAfghanistan into Islamic State’s widercampaign in the Middle East, it raisedthe spectre of sectarian violence, some-thing Afghanistan, a majority Sunnicountry, has largely been spared duringdecades of war. But while seeing thethreat, officials are cautious aboutwhether the attack represents a realturning point for Daesh, which has beenunder heavy pressure this year fromboth US air strikes and Afghan groundforces. “Having a couple of people thatyou’ve hired put on a suicide vest andsneak into a crowd of many thousandsreally is not that sophisticated,” said USmilitary spokesman Brig Gen CharlesCleveland.

PHILADELPHIA, July 26

First lady Michelle Obamastepped into the presidentialelection Monday with a forceful,impassioned defense of HillaryClinton, casting her as the onlycandidate who can be trusted as arole model for the nation’s chil-dren. She took numerous swipesat Republican Donald Trump, allwithout mentioning his name.“This election and every electionis about who will have the powerto shape our children for the nextfour or eight years of their lives,”Ms. Obama said on the openingnight of the Democratic conven-tion. “There is only one person Itrust with that responsibility, on-ly one person I believe is trulyqualified to be president of theUnited States, and that is HillaryClinton.” The first lady wasamong a high-wattage line-up ofspeakers taking the stage, all butwiping away earlier tumult thathad exposed deep tensions be-tween Ms. Clinton supportersand those loyal to her primaryopponent Bernie Sanders. WhileMs. Obama has often avoidedovert politics during her nearlyeight years in the White House,her frustration with Trump’srise was evident. She warnedthat the White House couldn’t bein the hands of someone with “athin skin or a tendency to lashout” or someone who tells votersthe country can be great again.

“This right now, is the greatestcountry on earth,” she said. Mr.Sanders was taking the stage lat-er in the night. He and his teamspent much of Monday trying tokeep backers from protesting onthe convention floor. He sent ur-gent messages to his backers urg-ing them to avoid protests on theconvention floor. The Clintoncampaign opened up speakingspots for his supporters. An ar-ray of office holders and celebri-ties hammered home the call forunity, with singer Paul Simonsinging his “Bridge OverTroubled Water” as delegateslinked arms and swayed to themusic. Former President BillClinton smiled and clapped fromthe audience Massachusetts Sen.

Elizabeth Warren, a favourite ofliberals and one of the party’stoughest critics of Trump, tookthe stage and, in tune with theproceedings, exclaimed, “Thankyou, Bernie.” “Trump thinks hecan win votes by fanning theflames of fear and hatred. Byturning neighbor against neigh-bor. By persuading you that thereal problem in America is yourfellow Americans people whodon’t look like you, or don’t talklike you, or don’t worship likeyou.” Ms. Clinton’s campaignhoped the night time line-upwould overshadow a tumultuousstart to the four-day convention.The release of hacked partyemails revealed the DemocraticNational Committee had

favoured Ms. Clinton over Mr.Sanders in the primary, despitevows of neutrality. The uproarled to the forced resignation ofparty chair Debbie WassermanSchultz. While her ouster was amajor victory for Mr. Sanders, itwasn’t enough to ease the frus-tration of his supporters. Insidethe arena, chants of “Bernie”echoed through the arena as theconvention opened, and booscould be heard at times when Ms.Clinton’s name was raised.Outside the convention hall, sev-eral hundred backers of Mr.Sanders marched downPhiladelphia’s sweltering streetswith signs carrying messagessuch as “Never Hillary.”Campaigning in North Carolina,Mr. Trump seemed to revel in theDemocrats’ commotion, tellingsupporters that Ms. Clintonmade a mistake by not choosing amore liberal running mate to ap-pease Mr. Sanders’ base. “CrazyBernie’s going crazy right now,”he said. But in Philadelphia,Delegates waved “Love TrumpsHate” signs and leapt to their feetas immigration supporters, gayrights advocates, and labor lead-ers took the stage. Comedian-turned-Sen. Al Franken, a sup-porter of Ms. Clinton, and actressSarah Silverman, a supporter ofMr. Sanders, made a joint ap-pearance to promote party unity.“I am proud to be part of Bernie’smovement,” Silverman said as

the crowd roared. “And a vitalpart of that movement is makingabsolutely sure Hillary Clintonis our next president of theUnited States.” Mr. Trump was afrequent target throughout thenight, though the jabs were oftenmore mocking than mean. Thetone was a sharp contrast to theRepublican convention, wherethe attacks against Ms. Clintonwas bitingly personal, includingchants of “Lock her up.”Wasserman Schultz had plannedto be among those taking thestage, despite the email hackingcontroversy. But she steppedaside, bowing to pressure fromDemocrats who feared the meresight of her on stage wouldprompt strong opposition fromSanders’ backers. The outgoingchairwoman did watch the gath-ering from a private suite at thearena. Ms. Clinton’s team hopedWasserman Schultz’s resigna-tion along with an apology fromthe DNC to Mr. Sanders and hissupporters would keep the con-vention floor calm. Discussionsbetween the two camps promptedMr. Sanders to send emails andtext messages to supporters ask-ing them not to protest. “Ourcredibility as a movement will bedamaged by booing, turning ofbacks, walking out or other simi-lar displays,” Mr. Sanders wrote.The party infighting had echoesof last week’s Republican con-vention, where some major GOP

leaders voiced their displeasurewith Mr. Trump and othersdidn’t even show up. Ms. Clintonpromised a stark contrast to theGOP gathering, saying sheplanned to highlight “successstories” and flesh out details ofher proposed policies. Mr.Sanders was a relatively un-known Vermont senator whenhe decided to challenge for theDemocratic nomination. Hestunned the Clinton campaignwith his broad support amongyoung people and liberals, aswell as his online fundraisingprowess. But he struggled to ap-peal to black voters and couldn’tmatch the former secretary ofstate’s ties to the Democratic es-tablishment. The controversyover some 19,000 leaked DNCemails, however, threatened tocomplicate those plans. The cor-respondence, posted byWikiLeaks over the weekend,showed top officials at the sup-posedly neutral DNC favouringMs. Clinton over Mr. Sanders inthe presidential primaries. Ms.Clinton’s campaign officialsblamed the hack, which is nowbeing investigated by the FBI, onRussian military intelligenceagencies. The campaign also ac-cused Moscow of trying to med-dle in the U.S. election and helpMr. Trump, who has said hemight not necessarily defendNATO allies if they are attackedby Russ

French President FrancoisHollande traveled to the town.Interior Minister BernardCazeneuve was also visiting. Twoattackers invaded a church onTuesday during morning Massnear the Normandy city of Rouen,killing an 84-year-old priest byslitting his throat and takinghostages before being shot andkilled by police, French officialssaid. Another person inside thechurch was seriously injured andis hovering between life anddeath, Interior Ministryspokesman Pierre—HenryBrandet said. Police managed torescue three other people insidethe church in the small northwest-ern town of Saint—Etienne—du—Rouvray, Mr. Brandet told re-porters, and the two attackerswere killed outside the church.

The identities of the attackers andmotive for the attack are unclear,according to a French security of-ficial who was not authorised to bepublicly named. Mr. Brandet saidthe RAID special interventionforce was searching the perimeterof the church ahead of entering forpossible explosives and terrorisminvestigators had been sum-moned. “The investigations areongoing. There are still un-knowns,” Mr. Brandet said.“There are dogs, explosive detec-tors and bomb disposal servicesand as long as there are still un-knowns, the judicial police cannotget inside the site. It’s a dramaticsituation. It was the first knownattack inside a French church inrecent times. One was targetedlast year, but the attack never wascarried out. The anti-terrorism di-vision of the Paris prosecutor’s of-fice immediately opened an inves-

tigation. French PresidentFrancois Hollande traveled to thetown. Interior Minister BernardCazeneuve was also visiting.Dominique Lebrun, the archbish-op of Rouen, confirmed the deathof 84-year-old Rev. Jacques Hamel.“I cry out to God, with all men ofgood will. And I invite all non-be-lievers to unite with this cry,”Archbishop Lebrun wrote in astatement from Krakow, Poland,where Pope Francis was visiting.“The Catholic Church has no oth-er arms besides prayer and frater-nity between men.” France is cur-rently on high alert after an attackin Nice on Bastille Day July 14 thatkilled 84 people and a string ofdeadly attacks last year claimedby the Islamic State group thatkilled 147 others. France is alsounder a state of emergency andhas extra police presence after theNice attack, where man barreled

his truck down the city’s famedPromenade des Anglais, mowingdown holiday crowds. IslamicState extremists have urged fol-lowers to attack French churchesand the group is believed to haveplanned at least one church attackearlier. In April 2015, an Algerianstudent who was arrested aftershooting himself in the leg wasfound with heavy weapons, bullet-proof vests and documents linkedto Islamic State. He is chargedwith killing a young woman in-side her car the same day.According to French authorities,the suspect, Sid Ahmed Ghlam,was sent by the BelgianAbdelhamid Abaaoud to attack achurch in Villejuif, just outside ofParis. A cell directed by Abaaoudlater carried out the Nov. 13 at-tacks in Paris that left 130 peopledead and the March 22 attacks inBrussels that killed 32 people.

South Sudan President replaces rival withnew deputy, threat of war looms largeJuba July 26

South Sudan President Salva Kiir replaced his vice president and rivalRiek Machar on Monday, a move that could potentially undermine last year’speace deal and reignite war in Africa’s youngest nation. Machar was sworn inas first vice president only last April, eight months after a peace agreement thatended two years of fighting that broke out the last time that Kiir sacked him ashis deputy in 2013. But the rivalry between the two men led to violence in thecapital Juba early this month as forces from both sides battled each other withtanks, helicopters and other heavy weapons. Machar, from the minority Nuerethnic group, left Juba with his troops, saying he would only return when an in-ternational body had to set up a buffer force between his fighters and those sup-porting Kiir, leader of the dominant Dinka group. Kiir issued an ultimatumlast week, saying Machar had 48 hours to contact him and return to Juba to sal-vage last year’s peace deal, or face replacement. He made good on that threat onMonday when he issued a decree “for the appointment of the first vice presi-dent of the republic of South Sudan”, naming General Tabal Deng Gai to thepost. A former minister of mining, Deng Gai was a chief negotiator on behalf ofMachar’s SPLM-IO group in the talks that led to last year’s deal. But last week,he broke ranks with Machar and backed Kiir’s ultimatum to him. SouthSudan’s politics has long been plagued by splits and rivalries as leaders switchallegiances in a struggle for power an influence in the oil-producing nation,which only emerged from Sudan five years ago. Its last war, which started afterKiir sacked Machar as vice president in 2013, killed more than 10,000 people anddisplaced over 2 million, many of whom fled to neighbouring countries. Themost recent fighting in Juba has forced 26,000 people to flee to neighbouringUganda, according to the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR. In a bid toprevent a return to full-scale war in the crude oil producer, the African Unionand the Inter Governmental Authority of Development, an east African bloc,have backed the deployment of a regional force and also want the UN forceUNMISS’s mandate changed to that of an intervention force.

The UN GeneralAssembly on Tuesday unani-mously adopted a resolutionapproving an agreement tomake the InternationalOrganisation for Migrationpart of the UN as a related or-ganisation, underlining acloser legal and working re-lationship between them isneeded “more than ever”.“Migration is at the heart ofthe new global political land-scape and its social and eco-nomic dynamics. At a time ofgrowing levels of migrationwithin and across borders, acloser legal and working re-lationship between the

United Nations and IOM isneeded more than ever,” UNSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement wel-coming the Assembly’s deci-sion on Monday.

Highlighting thatthe approval of the agree-ment by the governing bod-ies of both organisationsmarks a “major milestone in

the long-standing and closerelationship” between theUN and IOM, the Secretary-General said, adding that therelationship agreement notonly formalises this partner-ship, but also sets out an evencloser cooperation betweenthe two organisations whilepreserving the mandates andresponsibilities of other UNorganisations and sub-sidiary organs and agenciesin the field of migration.“The Secretary-Generaltrusts that the relationshipagreement will contribute toa more effective global re-sponse to the challengesposed by large and suddenpopulation movements.

Pakistani police are investi-gating after a British manclaimed his wife had been mur-dered in a so-called "honour"killing, ten days after the death ofa social media star cast a spotlighton the practice. Mukhtar Kazamregistered a complaint with policein Punjab province claiming hiswife, 28-year-old Samia Shahid,was murdered in her family's vil-lage while visiting them. The cou-ple, both British-Pakistani dualcitizens, had been married for twoyears and were living in Dubai,police said, adding that it wasShahid's second marriage. "Herparents did not approve," local po-lice official Aqeel Abbas said, cit-ing Kazam's complaint. He saidShahid was visiting her family'svillage Pindori in Punjab'sJehlum district. "She was killedon July 20. She has been killed forhonour," Abbas said, quoting thecomplaint. Officers are now wait-

Sri Lanka’s record-break-ing spinner MuttiahMuralitharan launched a blis-tering attack on Monday on SriLanka Cricket after it com-plained about his behaviour inhis new role as a mentor toAustralia.After the officialssaid Muralitharan was damag-ing his legacy, the 44-year-oldaccused the board of settinghim up as a fall guy if the host

lost the series to the visitingAustralians.Muralitharan, thehighest wicket-taker in Testhistory, then accused the boardpresident of knowing nothingabout cricket and angrily de-nounced any suggestion of be-ing “a traitor”.Politicalgame“If Sri Lanka loses, they(the board) will say it is becauseof Murali,” he said in a record-ed statement. “They have noright to accuse me of being atraitor. Have they done one

hundredth of what I have con-tributed to cricket in SriLanka?“This is a political gameto cover their shortcomings,”he added. “I am being used as apawn to cover theirfailings.”His outburst wassparked by a complaint by theboard that he had bulliedgroundsmen into letting theAustralians practise on thepitch which hosts the openingTest from Tuesday.

Cricket Australia con-firmed it had received a com-plaint about the incident atPallekele Stadium, on the out-skirts of Kandy, but said the is-sue had been resolved “afterdiscussions between the twomanagements”.In lodging thecomplaint, board presidentThilanga Sumathipala accusedMuralitharan of insulting SriLanka team manager CharithSenanayake.

Muralitharan’s decision toimpart his local knowledge tothe tourists has raised eye-brows, not least because he wasonce labelled a “chucker” byAustralia’s then-prime minis-ter John Howard.

A promotion promised sixyears back hasn't come througheven now and the sponsors alsonever quite warmed up to himbut Olympic-bound boxerManoj Kumar says his stubbornstreak prevented him from quit-ting the sport during whatseemed like a never-endingdark phase.The 28-year-old, amultiple-time Asian medallistbesides being a formerCommonwealth Games gold-medallist, is the proverbial darkhorse among the three Indianboxers who have qualified forRio -- the other two being Worldbronze medal winners ShivaThapa (56kg) and Vikas Krishan(75kg)."I have Maratha rootsand I am inspired by the greatShivaji. I draw my strengthform his beliefs, that's whatmakes me so stubborn. And it isthis stubbornness which helpedme fight the circumstances,"Manoj, who competes in lightwelterweight (64kg) division,told PTI in an interview.The cir-cumstances he refers to, includea frustrating wait for a depart-

mental promotion he was prom-ised after the 2010 CWG gold. AClass III employee in the IndianRailways, Manoj was promisedan elevation by the then unionminister MamataBanerjee.Since that promise,seven ministers have come andgone but what has remainedstatic is Manoj's plight. "I havewritten to everyone who cameto office. From Mukul Roy tocurrent minister SureshPrabhu. I have been assured ofaction by each one of them butthen nothing moves on theground," said Manoj, a tad baf-fled by the mechanisms of bu-reaucracy."As for sponsors, Iwrote to every major companyseeking support but perhaps no-body thought I could make it

this far. So there was no re-sponse from there as well. I havenobody to speak for me, so thatalso goes against me at times,"he added.Asked if he ever gavequitting a thought given thehardships, Manoj said, "Noteven for a fleeting second.Never. It's a lot of fun provingpeople wrong, I feel good aboutmyself now. I have managedwhatever I have without thebacking of anybody apart frommy coach and elder brotherRajesh."Athletes from Haryanahave usually benefitted im-mensely from government sup-port, whether it is the boxers orthe wrestlers, but Manoj said hehas been an exception to therule."May be it is because I can'tbend before people.

Varun Dhawan, John Abraham and JacquelineFernandez are coming with an action packed film,Dishoom and after seeing all the promotional bits, wejust can’t wait for the film to hit the screens this Friday,July 29. While we all know that Varun and John playcops and Akshaye Khanna will be playing the villain inthe film, we hear there are many other important char-acters in the film too. Parineeti Chopra and NargisFakhri have extended cameos. But, what is making uscrazy is the presence of Akshay Kumar in it! Yes, we hadrevealed to you last year that Akshay Kumar is a part ofthe film and he will be seen in an important role in thefilm. And just now, Akshay’s first look of his characterfrom the film has been revealed. At first glance, we haveto say that it is quite interesting and unusual. Akshayhasn’t tried such a look before. His hippy look with aponytail will totally surprise you. We even see the actorriding a jet ski wearing a black vest and shorts, with ascarf on his neck. Ain’t it a cool look? He tweeted, “Acameo I had a ball shooting.Wishing all the luck to myfriends Sajid,John,Varun & Jacky!Pack a punch with#Dishoom” And while everyone was talking aboutVarun and John‘s bromance, we had even shown you afew pictures of an action sequence with Akshay sittingon a bike along with John Abraham. Looks like the DesiBoyz are back!! So after looking at the pictures we arewaiting to see him in the film.

Reports of Pakistani heart-throb Fawad Khan playingDeepika Padukone’s husbandin Sanjay Leela Bhansali’sPadmavati made fans go supercrazy. Obviously people aredying to see these two goodlooking actors in a film. But forthat you will have to wait a bitlonger. A source exclusivelytold Bollywoodlife, “Fawad isextremely busy with other

projects in Pakistan. Also hehas signed a three film dealwith Karan Johar’s DharmaProductions. So obviously theactor cannot break this andwork with any other director.So there is no chance of himsigning Bhansali’sPadmavati.”

Padmavati is based on thelife of Rani of Chittor (playedby Deepika Padukone) in

Rajasthan and AlauddinKhilji’s (Ranveer Singh) obses-sion with her. The trouble is,that although the character ofPadmavati’s husband RawalRatan Singh is an importantone, he is perceived as a weak-er character as he was out-smarted by Khilji. This is thereason why no big actor is will-ing to take up the role. Nowthat Fawad is not playing the

role of Raja Rawal RatanSingh, we wonder who willBhansali sign as Deepika’shusband. As per reports,Bhansali wants to begin workon the film from Septemberand the first schedule will startwith Deepika and her hus-band’s character. Deepika andRanveer’s scenes will be shotseparately as they never meetin the film.

Fawad Khan not playing DeepikaPadukone’s husband in Padmavati!

Salman Khan yesterday was acquitted of thelong pending Chinkara poaching cases. He was ac-cused of poaching these endangered animals inJodhpur in 1998. The actor left a free man yesterdaywhen the Rajasthan High Court didn’t find himguilty of charge. But not many know what happenedinside the Court which resulted in his acquittal. Wecan give a sneak peek into the same. MumbaiMirror reported how the argument was won bySalman’s lawyer Mahesh Bora. Here’s how it allhappened: Justice Nirmal Jit Kaur of Rajasthan HCtook into account Bora’s argument that the driver ofthe jeep that was used by the actor and his co-starsduring the hunting excursion had been missing.Bora argued that Salman was just framed in thiscase as it was based on just the statement of the driv-er of the vehicle Harish Dulani. He further addedthat Dulani was unavailable for cross-examinationand that means his statement couldn’t be trusted.The prosecution however counter argued thatDulani did appear in court twice but the defence did-n’t bother to question him. Bora also went on to ar-gue that the cases were formed based on circum-stantial evidences. There aren’t even eye witnessesor any other evidence against the actor. The courtobserved that the pellets which were found in the ve-hicle didn’t match the ones Salman possessed. Thedefence also argued that the pellets were planted inthe vehicle because when the Forest Departmentdid their investigation, they weren’t found but sur-prisingly appeared during Police investigation.Defence went on to say that Salman didn’t have anyweapon that are allegedly used for poaching. Headded that those were brought to Jodhpur on re-quest of the Forest Department.

Actress Jacqueline Fernandez,who is playing the leading lady inDishoom, says Parineeti Chopra’sdance number has added a touch ofglamour to the film. Asked about herthoughts on Parineeti’s dance numberJaaneman aah in Dishoom,Jacqueline told IANS, “I loved thesong. I thought she was looking amaz-ing. I thought she was the most amaz-ing choice for the song. She dances sowell and she looks so good. She added a

touch of glamour to the film and I amglad that she was a part of the movie.”In the special number, Varun andParineeti are seen sharing a sizzlingchemistry. At the end of the song,Varun and Parineeti are seen sharinga kiss on screen which was Varun’s in-put. The duo got two days to practicefor the song and it was shot in just onetake. Parineeti is doing a cameo in thefilm. Choreographer Ahmed Khan haschoreographed the dance sequence in

the song. So, are writers coming upwith more interesting scripts for ac-tresses in Bollywood? She said:“Absolutely, there is definitely achange in Bollywood for actresses.Writers are coming up with more in-teresting scripts for the actresses.Besides, I also feel actresses have tak-en a stand… They have put their footdown and are working towards morefemale-centric roles. It’s a greatthing.”

Rajinikanth’s Kabali has been the biggest mania across the world forthe past one month. The anticipation and frenzy around the movie hasbeen unbelievable! And the day the movie released, the response was out-standing around the world. And we aren’t even exaggerating. The movieraked in about a whopping 42 crores on its first day in India, while on thesecond day it collected an additional 30 crores, while on the 3rd day themovie collected about 109-110 crores approx. in India. At the worldwidebox office, the movie raked in a total of 200 crores. Because of the mixed re-views, trade experts expected the collections to take a dip but the gangstadrama has done well for itself on the 4th day as it raked in reportedly 230crores worldwide. The movie was released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindiacross 3500 screens in the country. As per Shreedhar Pillai, the film’s netbox office collections would be roughly Rs 47 crore from Tamil Nadu, Rs 20crore from the states of Andhra and Telangana, Rs 16 crore fromKarnataka, Rs 8 crore from Kerala and Rs 19 crore from the rest of India(Hindi+Tamil versions). That comes to a total of Rs 110 crore from India injust 3 days. That means, it beat Sultan’s records which was about 100crores in 3 days. The movie is about a don in Malaysia who fights for theTamilians there. It also stars Radhika Apte, Dhansika and Rithvika in themovie. The movie will release in Malaysia on July 29. The movie has beendirected by Pa Ranjith while the music score has been composed bySanthosh Narayan.

The Bajirao Mastani actresses’have a lot in common – both thesebabes are beautiful, sexy, talented andare set to make their Hollywood debutsoon. But seems like their journeysare not exactly the same. DeepikaPadukone is trying to piggyback onPriyanka Chopra’s stupendous suc-cess in the west. Now we all know howthe Quantico babe is the newest exoticbeauty that Hollywood is standingand taking notice of. PC has catapult-ed to star stature thanks to not justABC’s show, but also her awesomepublicists who ensure that she is innews for all the right reasons. The ac-tress has managed to put her best footforward even as far as her fashion out-ings are concerned. And we now hearthat the actress has found new team tomanage her work in Hollywood, theWilliam Morris EndeavorsEntertainment (WME). However, theBaywatch actress’ old Hollywoodagents, the Creative Artists Agency(CAA) have now bagged anotherIndian heroine as their client and thatis none other than Deepika.

The Piku babe unlike Priyankahas not managed to grab the global au-dience’s attention as yet. And unfortu-

nately apart from the xXX: The ReturnOf Xander Cage opposite Vin Diesel shedoes not have any other Hollywood offerin her kitty. So she’s or rather heragency is trying hard to push her case.A source told BollywoodLife,“Deepika’s Hollywood agency is push-ing their luck by tagging her name withPriyanka’s. And even though both arebig stars in India, Priyanka is a muchbigger superstar in the West. Deepika’steam is trying to create a connect withPriyanka, by ensuring that Deepika isshown in the running for all roles thatPC is rumoured to be contending for”The source further added, “NeitherPriyanka nor Deepika were consideredfor the Bond movie.” Unlike Deepikawho was called as the ‘leggy brunette’accompanying tennis star NovakDjokovic in Los Angeles, Priyanka hasmade heads turn with her fashionableoutings on the Hollywood red carpet in-cluding the Oscars. She has wonPeople’s Choice Award for FavoriteActress in a New TV Series and is thefirst Bollywood actress to have bill-boards at the Times Square, New York.Not to forget her Baywatch baddie roleactually makes her Hollywood debutdifferent.

"If the situation remained well, then it should be re-voked entirely or it it can be reimplemented if you feel that mili-tancy did not allow it to be revoked," the Chief Minister said.

LMG of BSFBefore targeting his fellow jawan in Jammu BSF constable

was on leave but instead of returning home he took shelter in aJammu hotel for four days and executed his pre planned moveof looting LMG. Both Mukesh and Mithu, too, hail fromDarbhanga district, but “they were not aware that Ranjan wason the run after stabbing his colleague”. “If they are foundguilty of giving shelter to Ranjan despite knowing about hiscrime, action will be taken against them,” senior police officerof Punjab police said in Jalandhar. On how Ranjan could enterPunjab from Jammu undetected with an LMG and so much am-munition, a senior police officer said he had packed thefirearms in a big bag and investigations were on.

Courtliability of the petitioner. On 25.10.2010, petitioner filed re-

sponse to the aforesaid notice. Thereafter, it is stated by the pe-titioner that on 09.12.2010 an order in terms of Section 143(3) ofthe Act was passed by the respondents after considering theReturn of Income filed and the submissions made at the time ofhearing. In the proceedings dated 09.12.2010 the authority heldas follows:-“………During the course of the assessment proceed-ings, nothing adverse has been noticed, as such the return of in-come filed by the assessee is accepted…..”. Division Bench afterhearing both the sides observed that The reasons recorded bythe officer for initiating proceedings under Section 148 of theAct, as has already been recorded earlier, relates to sale of agri-cultural land held by the petitioner as co-owner with herspouse, which land was sold by both of them in a single transac-tion. Consequent to the sale in relation to assessment year 2008-09 in respect of the petitioner, the department accepted thesame in the original assessment proceedings, which has al-ready been referred to earlier. It is the audit party that hasraised the objection. On the contrary, in the case of the spouse,it is on records that the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)has finally held that the property sold should be treated only asagricultural land and rejected the department’s contention.Despite repeated opportunities having been given, no recordswere produced and the department has not filed objections stat-ing that the said order of the Commissioner of Income Tax(Appeals) has been modified or reversed. In other words, it isapparent that the department has accepted the sale of the agri-cultural land insofar as spouse of the petitioner is concernedand the transaction is common to both the spouses. There can-not be two yardsticks in respect of common transaction of sale,treating one component of the sale as agricultural land and theother component of the sale for non-agricultural purposes.

DB observed that on this first issue the audit objection andconsequential notice under challenge is to be faulted and thesecond substantial plea taken is that the impugned notice isbased on a change of opinion because the assessment has al-ready been concluded under Section 143(3) of the Act, all materi-al including that of the property in question has been declaredand the assessing authority while passing order under Section143(3) of the Act has clearly recorded that nothing adverse isfound and return filed by the assessee is accepted. There is alsospecific mention to the sale of the land. It is, therefore, pleadedthat mere on change of opinion that the land was sold to ‘A” or‘B’ party, the assessment cannot be faulted. Reliance has beenplaced on a decision of the Supreme Court in Commissioner ofIncome Tax v. Kelvinator of India Ltd., and Full Bench Decisionof Delhi High Court in Commissioner of Income Tax v. Usha

International ltd. DB further observed that From the reading ofthe reasons for initiating proceeding under Section 148 of theAct, it is evident that merely because the land was sold to a par-ticular person, the authority has taken a view that the land hasbeen sold for non-agricultural purposes, in our opinion, thatreason appears to be a fallacy. What is the nature of the land atthe time it was sold will be relevant. Future use is not the con-cern of the petitioner having sold the property. Division Benchfurther observed that on this premise, it can be safely inferredthat the department has proceeded on a wrong premise that thebusiness being carried on by the purchaser of the land would berelevant in deciding the nature of the land sold. In our opinion,such a view is perverse and totally untenable in law and the au-dit objection does not appear to be based on any tangible materi-al requiring case for reassessment. On the contrary, it appearsto be a mere change of opinion. Despite detailed objections hav-ing been submitted, the authority has not chosen to pass aspeaking order. Initiation of reassessment proceedings on thebasis of audit objection is also to be faulted without there beingany fresh or tangible material placed on records to suggest thatincome has escaped assessment. Division Bench while allow-ing the petition quashed the impugned notice. JNF

The search and rescue op-eration for the missing AN 32aircraft entered its fifth daytoday even as hopes of findingalive the 29 defence personnelon board receded as all leadstill now have turned out to bebad. "A lot of resources are inplace. All leads till now haveturned out to be bad. We aretrying to concentrate on somelinks or sound which hasemitted from some area.Trying to find out, that needsto be ascertained but therewere some false leads but false

leads of similar type," DefenceMinister Manohar Parrikarsaid here today. He said that astate of art ice-class researchvessel, Sagar Nidhi, of theNational Institute of OceanTechnology has been calledfor from Mauritius. "That willreach but any deep vessel tooperate, it will need specificarea. "Because deep vesselswhich go inside cannot go andsearch per se unless you havesome definite small area. Solast time (Doriner crash), sub-marine had identified the lo-cation and then we had send it(deep sea vessel of Reliance).

It is a secondary operation af-ter initial identification,"Parrikar said. Sagar Nidhicomes with DynamicPositioning System whichkeeps its position stable,which is required for oceano-graphic research. It has ahuge deck area for deployingROV/Manned submersibles/Tsunami monitoring system.Gondola arrangement is alsomade for precision acousticmeasurements. Drop Keel fa-cility is made to fit any under-water transducers withoutdry docking the vessel.

One separate lab is de-

signed and installed with inte-grated survey systems withmodern scientific surveyequipments like single andmulti beam echo sounder forshallow and deep waters, subbottom profiler, acoustic cur-rent profiler. Parrikar also re-futed claims of a senior CoastGuard official who said thatthe the Emergency LocatorTransmitter (ELT) had notfunctioned during theDornier crash also. "I thinkthe submarine finally locatedthe Dornier with the samebeeps. Initially sound mightnot have come due to depth of

water but when the subma-rine went in there, they iden-tified the location. Can't saywhether it is operating or notnow but we have not been ableto hear it," he said.Meanwhile, sources in the AirForce said the reason of the in-cident is too early to be ascer-tained but indicated thatweather could have played arole. "The weather was badbut the pilot had taken the re-quired steps," a senior sourcesaid. Meanwhile, asked aboutJammu & Kashmir ChiefMinister Mehbooba Mufti'scomment that process to re-

voke AFSPA must start on ex-perimental basis, Parrikarsaid the call has to be taken bythe Home Ministry.

"I think Home Ministryneed to take a call on it. We on-ly operate. As of now we areoperating only in the borderand counter insurgency grid.We do not operate in the nor-mal sphere of state's law andorder," Parrikar said. He saidthat as far as Army is con-cerned, it has ensured thatborder remains sealed and noinfiltration bid is successful."We are doing our job proper-ly," he said.

He said use of pellet guns in theValley has caused "havoc" and more than hundred young boyshave suffered injuries to their eyes. "It is unacceptable thateven if Home Minister of India after acknowledging the factthat pellets have darkened the world of more than hundredyoung boys, an official from CRPF would debate lethal andnon-lethal nature of pellets," Tarigami said, adding the factwas that pellets have "gravely injured the Kashmir psyche"."The use of brutal force against protesters on whatever pretextwas simply unacceptable," the CPI (M) leader added.

A P J Abdul Kalam hadplanned a "big surprise party"for his elder brother whowould turn 100 thisNovember by gathering allthe family members at his na-tive place Rameswaram, put-ting up banners saying '100'and playing Tamil songs butdestiny had other ideas.

Sixteen years older, A P JMaracayer was like a fatherfigure to Kalam and coun-selled him on several impor-tant decisions and was alsohis spiritual guide. But as fatewould have it, seven weeks af-ter this planning sessionKalam passed away on July 27last year. Kalam's aide SrijanPal Singh presents a tribute tothe late President on his firstdeath anniversary in theform of a book "What Can IGive?: Life Lessons from MyTeacher, A.P.J. AbdulKalam." The book, publishedby Penguin Random House,

brings alive rare personaland unheard-of anecdotes aswell as unseen pictures fromKalam's life. Taking Kalam'svision ahead, Singh has de-cided to donate all the royal-ties from the book to the char-itable cause of providing freeeducation to underprivilegedchildren through an initia-tive called The Kalam LibraryProject. On the grand plansmade by Kalam for his broth-er's 100th birthday celebra-tions, Singh writes, "In 2015,in the month of May, Kalam'sbrother dropped by for a visit.It was a special moment asJanaab A P J Maracayer wasabout to turn 99 in a fewmonths. His birthday was onthe 5th of November. The dayhis brother was leaving forRameswaram, Kalam methim over dinner. He said tome later, 'You fellow, listen.My brother will turn 99 yearsold in November. Tell me,now by the end of this year,how many orbits will he have

completed around the sun? "This was the question he

always asked on people'sbirthdays. A true rocket engi-neer, he loved equating yearsto the number of orbits theearth had made around thesun and the number of orbitsthe moon had made aroundthe earth. I was familiar withthis question by now.""Hundredth orbit!" Singhreplied. "Right. Now listen,you fellow. You see, next year,in November 2016, my broth-er will be a hundred years old.He has never celebrated hisbirthday in a big way. On hishundredth birthday, I want tothrow him a big surprise par-ty. He would love it, right?"Kalam asked. Kalam wantedthe party to happen at his na-tive place. "We can also gath-er all the family - the grand-children, the great-grandchil-dren - everyone. There will beabout 50 fellows like that,"Singh quotes Kalam as say-ing. Kalam entrusted Singh

with making all the arrange-ments. Then Kalam was unde-cided on what gift he shouldgive to his brother. For thenext half an hour, both satplanning the details of the par-ty. "We thought of everything,from banners saying '100' toTamil songs to be played in theparty. We came up with manyideas for commemorating theoccasion and finally decided toopen a 100 libraries across ru-ral India. A 100 libraries for a100 years on earth. Kalam wasvery happy with the idea. Wedecided to begin working on itby July," Singh writes. TheKalam Library Project wasstarted in December 2015. "Bythe time this book reaches you,we would have perhaps al-ready completed the target ofopening a hundred libraries.And by reading this book, youare becoming a part of thisproject because the proceedsfrom this book will be used toopen more and more such li-braries," Singh says.

The government auditorhas rapped the Indian Air Forcefor underutilisation of the oper-ational capabilities of the ten C-17 Globemaster transportplanes it had procured from theUS for over Rs 18,645 crore. TheComptroller and AuditorGeneral of India also slammedthe US defence major Boeingfor failure to set up simulatorservices, which were to be upand running by July 2013, be-sides ground facilities undertheir offset commitments.Critical of both IAF and Boeing,the CAG, in a report submittedtoday in Parliament, said theoperational capabilities of C-17aircraft were underutilisedpartially due to non-availabili-ty of runway with appropriatepavement classification num-ber (PCN) and lack of groundequipment at various bases.While noting that IAF acquiredC-17 aircraft for high load-car-rying capacity with less load-ing/offloading time as well as toprovide direct delivery ofload/troops to the operatingsector with least number oftrips, it expressed surprise thatnot all units had the requiredmaterial-handling equipment.For the purpose of loading andunloading, a fork lifter weigh-ing 13 tonnes was always beingcarried in the aircraft, as otherunits did not have ground-han-dling equipment.

"This fork lifter occupies35 per cent of the cargo spaceleaving limited space for pay-load. Due to this space restric-tion, C-17 aircraft had to un-dertake more than one sortieon the same day to airlift cargofrom same destination, onmany occasions," the report

said. With cost of Rs 43.19 lakhper flying hour for C-17 air-craft, this was imprudent, theCAG noted. The report saidthat the annual average loadairlifted by C-17 ranged be-tween 13 tonnes and 18 tonnesper sortie, against the air-craft's payload capacity of 70tonnes. The operatingsquadron stated (September2015) that C-17 aircraft couldcarry only 35 tonnes of load (40tonnes in winters) and on afew occasions, C-17 was taskedfor only 26 tonnes. "Thus acostly national asset, pro-cured for carrying heavyloads was not being used asper its capacity. In reply(April 2016), Air HQ acceptedthe fact of underutilisation ofthe aircraft and intimated thatthe point had been brought upto the notice of appropriate au-thorities," the report said. It al-so said the non-exploitation ofcapabilities of C-17 planes wasdue to inadequate runways.The CAG report said also saidutilisation of current VIP fleetwas low and its low utilisationobserved in CAG's AuditReport of 1998, was further re-duced. Significant flying ef-forts went in training of pilotsalthough for Embraer aircraftand Mi-8 helicopter the train-ing was lower than that pre-scribed in air force orders, thereport said.

The controls designed toensure that OEPs (other enti-tled persons, besides thethree service chiefs) utilisedthe VIP fleet only in in-escapable cases for routesconnected by commercial airservices were not working.Detention charges amount-ing to Rs 32.25 crore were notraised/levied, it said.(PTI)

This signficiant judg-ment has been passed in a pe-tition filed by HimsheeMansotra who appeared inthe Common Entrance Testand thereafter respondents 2to 4 declared her result andshown her ranking at SerialNumber 1181. She was de-clared to have obtained 90marks out of 177 marks, per-centage of which is 50.85%.However, it is contended bythe petitioner that no pointson account of sports categorywere awarded to her.

In this regard, she ap-proached respondents 2 to 4and requested them to alterher merit position by award-ing necessary sports point toher, but the said request ofthe petitioner was not at allentertained on the groundthat petitioner should haveobtained the sports pointsfrom the Sports Council asper the impugned conditionenvisaged in theAdvertisement Notificationand seeking quashment thecondition with regard to fur-nishing of sports categorycertificate by the candidatesapplying under sports cate-gory to the J&K SportsCouncil, as contained in theadvertisement notification

dated 16.02.2015 being ultravirus the provisions of law.

Moreover, it is not thecase of the petitioner eventhat she had applied for eval-uation of her sports points tothe J&K Sports Council incompliance with Rule 6 forsubmitting her certificatewithin the stipulated periodnor is it her case that J&KSports Council had in anymanner failed in its duty toforward her sports points tothe BOPEE. It is in this back-ground that the petitionerhas not claimed any such re-lief against the respondent-J&K Sports Council.Otherwise also, in view of thefact that petitioner has notchallenged otherwise the va-lidity of the Rule 6 of the J&KBoard of ProfessionalEntrance Examination,Rules, 2014 which are statuto-ry in nature and have beenframed by the Government inexercise of its power con-ferred upon it by the Section23 of the J&K BoardProfessional EntranceExaminations, Act 2002.

Asserting that Pakistanhas "direct role" in fuellingterrorism in Jammu andKashmir, Army todaywarned of more infiltrationbids along the LoC in the com-ing weeks in view of thevolatile situation in theValley. "Pakistan is interfer-ing in Kashmir and has directrole in what we call as proxywar in Kashmir and there isabsolutely no doubt in it,"General Officer Commandingin Chief (GoC-in-C), NorthernCommand, Lt Gen D S Hoodatold reporters here.

He was paying homage tothe martyrs of Operation

Vijay on the 17th Kargil VijayDiwas at the historic WarMemorial here. "We haveseen it everywhere.. along theborders. We have seen it inthe matter in which the sup-port is given to infiltratinggroups. "We have seen howceasefire violations havebeen used as a support to thepeople infiltrating into thisside," Hooda said while reply-ing to a question aboutPakistan's role in current un-rest and terrorism inKashmir. "In short, if there isan internal disturbance here,they will directly take advan-tage of it. "You have heard thestatements of HizbulMujahideen and Lashkar-e-

Toiba, trying to say that theyare supporting whatever ishappening in Kashmir," theNorthern Command Chiefsaid. He said "the support(from Pakistan) is not onlymoral but it is absolute physi-cal and there is no doubtabout it".

He also expressed con-cern over the increasing radi-calisation of youth inKashmir Valley. "We haveseen there is an increase inradicalisation mostly drivenby social media and peopleare quite active on it," Hoodasaid, adding everyone at alllevels has to put their headstogether to reduce this trend.

The Army official warned

of more infiltration bids inthe coming weeks along theLoC. Hooda said, "We are see-ing regular attempts to infil-trate groups into this side.""We have foiled some infiltra-tion bids. One group whichhad infiltrated two or threedays back and we have neu-tralised four terrorists insidethe hinterland. We are seeingrepeated attempts. We recent-ly lost two soldiers duringthis infiltration bids. "I don'tsee a slow down in this (levelof infiltration).

During this internal dis-turbance they will try andpush in more and more infil-trators and we are well pre-pared to deal with it," he said
