NSG headless as chief retires

Agency | New Delhi, Jun 1

The country’s elite counter-terror force NSG has been rendered headless with the gov-ernment not appoint-ing a new chief for the special operations unit as incumbent DG J N Choudhury retired yes-terday. Choudhury, a 1978-batch IPS officer of Assam-Meghalaya cadre, was heading the ‘black cat’ commandos force since January last year. With no new name being announced as the new National Security Guard (NSG) Director General, Choudhury’s charge is being handled by an Inspector General rank officer at the forces’ headquarter here.

Congress nudges Lalu, JD(U) to hasten

pace of tie upAgency | Patna, Jun 1

The Congress today hastened the pace in clearing the logjam be-tween JD(U) and RJD, the two parties which seem to be indulging in shadow-boxing instead of firming up a tie-up ahead of the crucial Bi-har poll. Bihar Congress chief Ashok Choudhary met party President So-nia Gandhi in Delhi and spoke highly about Nitish Kumar. Choud-hary said in Delhi that his party wanted that all like-minded parties come on one platform to defeat the BJP in Bihar. He, however, said that along with strengthening secular forces his party also wished to make it-self strong in the state.Amit Shah meets

He interacted with a number of party workers from different parts of the country as well as the gen-eral public in a bid to re-solve their grievances and heard their suggestions at the party headquarters. The effort is a part of “Jan Samvaad” programme of the party to improve the public connect and hear.

Discrimination against any community won’t be tolerated : ModiAgency | New Delhi

Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi said on Mon-day he won’t tolerate any discrimination or violence against any community and called anti-minority comments by some Sangh Parivar leaders “unfortunate” and “uncalled for”, in his strongest response yet on growing incidents of hate speeches. “Our Constitution guarantees religious freedom to ev-ery citizen and that is not negotiable. I have said this before and I say it again: any discrimina-tion or violence against any community will not

be tolerated,’’ Modi said in an interview to Unit-ed New of India (UNI). When asked how he would rein in party lead-ers spewing hatred, Modi said his government stood for every Indian re-gardless of caste or creed and would work for the progress of every one of them. ‘’Every faith in our country has equal rights; it is equal not only before the law but also before society,” he said. “My government’s focus has been on gover-nance and development. Our focal point is clear: Vikas, Vikas, Vikas; jobs, jobs, jobs.” The PM was under fire over

his silence regarding the controversial ghar-wapsi conversion programmes and allegations of reli-gious persecution but broke his silence in Feb-ruary in an unequivocal condemnation of reli-gious violence following a series of attacks on Christian properties in

2 killed, 7 injured in hit-and-run incident in GujaratSunvilla News | Ahmedabad

A father-son duo was killed and seven persons severely injured after they were allegedly hit by an unidentified car in Shah-e-Alam area here today, police said. The in-cident took place at 2.30 AM near Amma mosque, when several persons were sleeping outside their homes alongside the road due to power failure in that area, Isanpur po-lice station inspector G R Rabari said. “The injured told us that a car sudden-ly came and hit them. The speeding vehicle not only hit parked vehicles but also hit several per-sons who were sleeping near their homes along-side the road. After the accident, the driver fled away with the vehicle,” he said. According to

Delhi. “My government will ensure that there is complete freedom of faith and that everyone has the undeniable right to retain or adopt the reli-gion of his or her choice without coercion or un-due influence,” Modi had said in February at a Christian event. Analysts

have warned a spate of hate speeches by mem-bers of the BJP as well as RSS and Sangh Parivar threaten to distract from the PM’s development agenda and give the Op-position, especially the Congress, a handle to stall Parliament. In the interview to UNI, the

PM also dismissed ac-cusations of being an-ti-poor, saying his gov-ernment had succeeded in ushering in the poll promise of ‘achche din (good days) during its one year in office. “Good days have arrived but some people are trying to belittle the work done by us,” he said. Modi de-fended his government on a controversial land acquisition bill that the Opposition has called anti-farmer, saying such criticism was politically motivated and that the NDA had corrected seri-ous flaws in the UPA-era legislation. ‘’Our bill fo-cuses on benefitting the farmers and balancing the long-term interests of the nation,’’ he said. The PM also attacked

the Congress, saying everybody knew where the country stood after 60 years of governance by the party. ‘’They (Congress) have been sustaining their politics only in the name of poor but what have they ac-tually done?” he asked. He alleged large-scale corruption at various levels of government gave rise to scandals on a regular basis when the UPA was in power. ‘’Our precious natu-ral resources were go-ing into the hands of a chosen few.’ There was policy paralysis in the government and the country was despon-dent and disappointed. We have given a clean, transparent and efficient government,” he said.

Beijing is rolling out some tough new anti-smoking laws

Agency | Beijing

Beijing will ban smoking in restaurants, offices and on public transport from Monday, part of unprec-edented new curbs wel-comed by anti-tobacco advocates, though how they will be enforced re-mains to be seen. Health activists have pushed for years for stronger restric-tions on smoking in Chi-na, the world’s largest tobacco consumer, which is considering further an-ti-smoking curbs nation-wide. Under the rules, anyone in China’s capital who violates the bans, which include smoking near schools and hospi-

tals, must pay 200 yuan ($32.25). The current fine, seldom enforced, is just 10 yuan ($1.60). Anyone who breaks the law three times will be named and shamed on a government website. And businesses can be fined up to 10,000 yuan ($1,600) for failing to stamp out smoking on their premises. “Restau-rant staff have a duty to try to dissuade peo-ple from smoking,” said Mao Qunan, of the Na-tional Health and Family Planning Commission. “If they don’t listen to persuasion, then law en-forcement authorities will file a case against them.”

Suicide attack on Iraq police base kills at least 37: officers

were also wounded in the attack, which some police officers said was carried out with a tank. The area is being used in a military operation aimed at cutting off the Islamic State jihad-ist group’s supply lines in Anbar province of west-ern Iraq. IS fighters have

over the past year seized a formidable arsenal of mil-itary vehicles, weapons and ammunition from re-treating Iraqi forces. “The attack was carried out with a tank and left more than 70 killed and wounded,” a senior police officer for Salaheddin province said.

QUOTE OF THE

DAY

Editors’ Picks

A year of high-decibel rhetoricIn the unending stream of analysis of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s first year in office, one of the popular sentiments has been one or the other version of: “a victim of its own rhetoric”. I am tempted to add the word ‘needless’, but clearly needless it was not, at least at the time it was seeking a mandate in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls. The rhetoric was required both to galvanise the loyal, and to attract the neutral voters. But given the year of high-decibel rhetoric, is it fair to say the govern-ment deserves a break because expectations from it were unfairly high to begin with? Once in power and given its uneven form, the government has resorted to two tried and tested diversionary tactics from the handbook of politics. One, to blame its predecessors for the failures of the past, both real and imagined; and two, to orchestrate the occasional spectacle ac-companied by a dramatic publicity blitz. Both these tactics have their justified place in a democracy and are effective too, but only when used judiciously in-terspersed with a robust governmental performance. Unfortunately, the government’s performance in the past year does not inspire the blithe confidence that finance minister Arun Jaitley sought to convey through his press briefings. However, the ‘achhe din’ story hasn’t quite played to script. While the Stalin-ist radio propaganda has continued unabated, the impatience of expectations from his voters seems to be fraying some nerves right at the top echelons of the government and the private sector. The list of failures, eloquently articulated by former union min-ister (and Modi sympathiser) Arun Shourie in a re-cent interview, is long. The headline message is this: as a country, we are losing credibility, the longer we keep talking in hyperbole and delay getting our act together. Legislative obstacles aside, the dithering act has been visible in the way the government has navigated through the goods and services tax and its own pet 100 Smart Cities project. The temptation to rely on rhetoric has even taken the sheen off an area where Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invested significant personal capital—foreign policy. I dare-say the perceived success has been limited to Modi wooing his international counterparts by personal charm while conveying an informal and effusive de-meanour. Along with foreign leaders, nationalists of Indian origin have been bowled over with a string of rock concert-like performances in different corners of the world. While it may be too early to realise tan-gible benefits from these performances abroad, there is a real danger of the Prime Minister coming across as needy, impulsive and superficial. The root caus-es behind the recent criticism of the Indian media’s over-enthusiastic coverage of the Nepal disaster re-lief efforts can be traced back to the desire of some of our media houses to earn brownie points with the current dispensation.

It’s her first trip to Ban-gladesh and speaking from Dhaka, Deepi-ka Padukone is over whelmed by the out-pouring of love for Piku across the border. On Saturday she was asked to sing on stage and hummed a few lines of Ei path jodi na shesh hoy from the Uttam Ku-mar-Suchitra Sen star-rer, Saptapadi. In Shoo-jit Sircar’s film, she and Amitabh Bachchan sing a snatch from it while driving to Kolkata and during the filming Shoo-jit had told her it was a popular Bengali song and not to forget the lines. “I remembered the words and soon everyone in the huge auditorium were singing with me,” she laughs, surprised to

learn that Suchitra Sen was originally from Bangladesh. Piku, which many see as an unveiling of their lives on screen, struck an instant chord with Deepika too since she comes from a mid-dle-class family with a progressive outlook but rooted in traditional culture. “I also woke up to complaints about the clogged sink or the miss-ing maid. Even today, when I visit my parents in Bangalore, my sister and I lay the table for dinner and heat the food. I even help my mom with the washing up and make my own bed. The maid is there only during the day,” says the actress who followed Shoojit’s brief to `just be you’ while negotiating the challenging roles.

In today’s special doo-dle, Google is commem-orating the 86th birth an-niversary of Indian film actress, Nargis Dutt. Born as Fatima Rashid in Kol-kata, but known by her screen name, Nargis, she is renowned for her mem-orable roles in movies in-cluding the Oscar-nomi-nated rural drama Mother India, Barsaat, Awaara and Shree 420. Nargis made her first film ap-pearance in Talashe Haq when she was six years old. However, her acting career began in 1942 with

Along with her husband, she formed the Ajanta Arts Cultural Troupe, which involved several leading actors and singers of the time and held stage shows at border areas. During her career, she appeared in numerous commercially successful as well as crit-ically acclaimed films, many of which featured her alongside actor and filmmaker Raj Kapoor.

Continuing its golden run at the box office, Kangana Ranaut and R. Madhavan starrer Tanu Weds Manu Returns has crossed the Rs.100 crore mark world-wide. It is also the first film of 2015 to have crossed the 100 crore mark. Directed by Anand L. Rai, Tanu Weds Manu Returns is a sequel to the filmmaker’s 2011 hit film Tanu Weds Manu.

Cricket greats Sachin, Ganguly, Laxman inducted into BCCI’s high-powered advisory panel

Agency | New Delhi

Former greats Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Gan-guly, and VVS Laxman on Monday joined the BCCI in a newly-con-stituted advisory panel to guide the board in all matters related to the game. BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur took to micro-blogging site Twit-ter to announce the induc-tion of the three greats of Indian cricket, a move which was on the cards for some time. “I wel-come & thank @sachin_rt, @SGanguly99, and @VVSLaxman281 for joining @BCCI. Privi-leged to hv yur guidance & support, as we start a new inning!” Thakur wrote on his Twitter page. That the trio will be part

of a high-powered advi-sory panel was revealed by treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhary’s tweet. The 42 year-old Tendulkar played a whopping 200 Tests (15921 runs) and 463 ODIs (18426 runs) apart from a T20 Inter-national before retiring in 2013. The 43-year-old Ganguly played in 113 Tests and 311 ODIs for India apart from lead-ing the country to the fi-nal of 2003 World Cup. The 40-year-old Lax-man played in 134 Tests and 86 ODIs. It has been learnt from reliable sourc-es that Thakur and presi-dent Jagmohan Dalmiya will consult with the pan-el on all major cricketing decisions. While there had been a lot of specu-

lation of late regarding Ganguly’s appointment as chief coach or team director, his appointment in the advisory panel might mean that either Ravi Shastri will contin-ue in his current role or a new chief coach and support staff will be tak-ing charge. According to BCCI sources, the Indian cricketers can seek tech-nical advise from the trio and the Board wants bats-men to specifically speak to Tendulkar before any tough international as-signment. Ganguly might well be consulted for pre-paring a blueprint for suc-cess of the team overseas with Laxman working on the bench-strength and the new talent coming in through the system.

Maria Sharapova’s im-pressive sequence of French Open results end-ed when the defending champion was knocked out 7-6 (3) 6-4 by 13th-seeded Czech Luc-ie Safarova in the fourth round on Monday. The second-seeded Russian had reached the previous three finals at Roland Gar-ros, winning in 2012 and 2014, but could not han-dle her opponent’s steely forehand. Safarova, who

had never progressed to the quarter-finals on the Paris clay in 10 previous attempts, hit 20 forehand winners to unsettle the former world number one on Court Philippe Cha-trier. She next faces 21st seed Garbine Muguruza after the Spaniard went through to the last eight for the second year in a row by defeating Italy’s Flavia Pennetta in straight sets. Sharapova, who had lost only one of her previ-ous 24 matches at Roland Garros, dropped her serve

in the third game but broke back in the eighth when her opponent dou-ble-faulted. She then lost her fourth consecutive tiebreak of the season. The Russian, who has five grand slam titles to her name, went 3-0 down in the second set but fought back to 3-3 after Safarova made a mess of a routine forehand at the net with the court wide open. The Czech regained control and ended the contest on Sharapova’s serve with a forehand winner.

Correspondent | Jamnagar

A folk songs event held for the cause of protec-tion of cows at Kalavad taluka here has gener-ated donation of around Rs 4.50 crore. “We have collected an amount of around Rs 4.50 crore in a ‘Dayro’, the folk songs programme, organised for the cause of cow pro-tection and to provide so-cial services like building hospitals in various parts of the state,” said Ra-mesh Patel, one of the or-ganisers of the event. He said while currency notes worth Rs 1.25 crore were showered by attendees of the event on famous ‘Dayro’ singers Kirtidan Gadhvi and Maya Gadh-vi who sang for the entire night on Friday, rest of the amount was depos-ited with the organisers. More than five thousand people had attended the event, Patel said, adding,

it took two days for the organisers to count the “huge” amount. The pro-gramme was organised by one Nilesh Sakhiya, a former NRI who is a native of Haripar village in Kalavad taluka, along with some of his friends

under the banner of ‘Ka-lavad Seva Samiti’, Patel said. Sakhiya returned from London a few years back and since then he has been organising such events to collect dona-tions to address various social issues, he said.

In November last year, Gujarat became the first Indian state to pass a bill making voting in the lo-cal body elections com-pulsory. With O.P. Kohli as the new Governor in office, the Bill managed to get the Governor’s as-sent in the third attempt. Even though the Bill was passed by Gujarat legis-lative assembly as early as 2009, Kamla Beniw-al had rejected it twice during her tenure as the Governor of Gujarat, drawing sharp reactions from many quarters. Now with elections to as many as 315 local self-govern-ments due in October this year, the state government is likely to notify this bill (hence, making into a law) just well in time. A number of experts doubt the constitutional validity of compulsory voting and consider it a violation of the Article 21 of the Con-

Gujarat thermal power plants set for major overhaul

Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad

State-run thermal pow-er plants in Gujarat are set for a major overhaul. This would make them more energy efficient; reduce variable cost of power generation and maintenance cost. The state power generation company Gujarat State electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL) has de-cided to replace existing old and inefficient units by new supercritical tech-nology units. First phase would see replacement of over three decade old 120 MW units at Gand-hinagar, Ukai and Sikka thermal power plants. Current GSECL is hav-ing total installed thermal power capacity of 5884 MW using fuels like coal, lignite and gas. It oper-ated runs over a dozen power plants including

hydro power plants in the state. This is first major initiative of the state gov-ernment to improve the efficiency of the state-run power plants. “The 120 MW units are of very old design. Hence, the vari-able cost of generation from these units is high due to higher heat rate,” said a senior officials of the department of energy and petrochemicals. He said that now improved and supercritical coal based units with higher capacity, higher efficien-cy; low auxiliary pow-er consumption and low heat rate are available. Hence, there was a need to replace the old tech-nology with the new one. Another reason for this overhaul is that for set-ting up new power plants land acquisition was a major hurdle.

Notwithstanding their na-tional laws, which make “not voting” a punishable offence, most of these countries haven’t been able to enforce the punish-ments effectively.
