Vyapam effect: DMAT exam in MP

As Madhya Pradesh bat-tles the ramifications of the multi-crore Vyapam scam, a top state exam-ination body cancelled the July 12 examinations for admissions to pri-vate dental and medical colleges, with a whis-tleblower threatening to names judges allegedly involved in a scandal relating to it. A day after MP high court directed APDMC to scan OMR answer sheets of each of the candidates who will write the Dental and Medical Admission Test (DMAT) on July 12, the apex body on Friday postponed the scheduled examination. “The exam was postponed because of technical reasons,” Dr VK Mahadik said.US personnel chief resigns on massive

The head of the US gov-ernment’s personnel of-fice resigned abruptly on Friday, giving in to bipartisan calls for her to step down following a government data breach that is believed to be the biggest in US histo-ry. Katherine Archuleta, director of the federal office of personnel man-agement, submitted her resignation to president Barack Obama. That comes a day after the ad-ministration said hack-ers stole Social Security identification numbers and other highly sensi-tive data from more than 21 million people.28 BSF men airlifted

Two Indian-origin families who escaped a gunman in Tu-nisia, as he shot 38 tourists dead last month, are still re-covering from the aftermath of the horrific terrorist attack. Cambridge-based Pallavi Patel and her husband Naynesh Patel had joined their friends as part of a week-long package holi-day in Sousse which was to be-come the site of a bloody mas-sacre on June 26. A last-minute suggestion by Pallavi to head into town for some shopping instead of their daily routine of relaxing on the beach saved their lives.“The terrorist began shooting exactly from the spot which had been our regular every day. If we hadn’t gone out for shopping that day we would have definitely lost our lives,” said 57-year-old Palla-vi, who recounts a series of co-incidences that came into play on the fateful day which result-ed in the death of 30 British tourists. “It was God that saved our lives that day. When I think back there were so many points where we could have been in the path of the terror-

ists. We made so many friends on the beach and they are all dead today,” Pallavi said. Pal-lavi, who had suffered a mild stroke last year, was in Tunisia for a recuperating and relaxing holiday. She is now planning to seek medical counseling to try and get over the trauma, which has been giving her sleepless nights. “I just can’t get it out of my mind. I recall all the bodies we saw on the beach covered with beach towels. I feel like we have been given another life,” she said. Her husband, originally from Bhadran in Gujarat, runs a corner shop in Milton area of Cambridgeshire and she continues to be haunt-ed with the feeling of being un-safe even in her home when he leaves for work. “I feel really sorry for the Tunisian people who were just amazing. They stood up like shields to save people and today they are suf-fering with no jobs,” Pallavi said. The Patels were part of a large group of package hol-iday-makers from Britain or-ganised by Thomson. They have now been refunded their money and are being offered constant counseling.

“The invasion of Kash-mir”, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru wrote in 1947, as Pakistani ir-regulars and soldiers raced past Baramulla to-wards Srinagar, “is not an accidental affair resulting from the fanaticism or exuberance of the tribes-men, but a well organised business with the back-ing of the state”. “We have in effect”, he went on, “to deal with a state carrying out an informal war, but nonetheless a war”. Prime Minister Na-rendra Modi’s meeting with his Pakistani coun-terpart Nawaz Sharif in Ufa—coming as it does at the end of a tumultuous year that’s seen massive

fire exchanges on the In-dia-Pakistan frontier in Kashmir, breakdowns of talks, and Ministers pretty much threatening war—demonstrates that almost seventy years on, Indian leaders just haven’t fig-ured out what to do with our western neighbour. The gains from the Mo-di-Nawaz meeting are being loudly advertised by government spokes-persons: the promise to talk about how to expe-dite the 26/11 trial, work on counter-terrorism co-operation, and facilitate people-to-people contact. There isn’t a single word in the India-Pakistan joint statement with a capi-tal K—let alone a refer-ence to Kashmir. Each of

these promises, though, are cut-paste jobs from past declarations. Even as late as July 1, External Affairs Minister Sush-ma Swaraj insisted there would be no talks until Pakistan jailed 26/11 per-petrator Zaki-ur-Rahman: “If Lakhvi remains out-

side and he remains free and Pakistan thinks we will speak, will India ever accept that?” The real question is why a Prime Minister who promised voters to “talk to Pakistan in Pakistan’s language because it won’t learn lessons until then” took

this course. For an un-derstanding of the Prime Minister’s dilemma, it’s useful to place it in con-text. Following the 26/11 crisis, relations between the two countries came to a grinding halt. Exter-nal Affairs Minister Sal-man Khurshid publicly

linked future dialogue to “being satisfied [on] ac-countability on the Mum-bai outrage” and “specif-ic expectations that we have about dismantling of terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan”. In the sum-mer of 2013, when Sharif took office, he appeared to open the door for rap-prochement. He promised to “make sure that the Pakistani soil is not used for any such [terrorist] designs against India”, examine Inter Services Intelligence involvement in 26/11, and promised full disclosure on Kargil. Less than six months on, though, Sharif made an anodyne speech at the United Nations, where he said nothing on terror-

ism—bar some anodyne references to Pakistan’s commitment to end ter-rorism. He, moreover, re-verted back to old polem-ic on Kashmir, calling on “the international com-munity to give an oppor-tunity to the Kashmiris to decide their future”. This is, parenthetically, a leit-motif of Pakistani official polemic for decades: in 1950, governor-general Khwaja Nazimuddin had provided the cut-and-paste text for countless subsequent speeches, saying “Pakistan would remain incomplete until the whole of Kashmir is liberated”. Prime Min-ister Singh’s decision to meet with Sharif none the less spoke of desperation.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYGrunt And Bear ItIt’s Wimbledon season and female tennis star Victoria Azarenka is in no mood to give up grunting. Despite her loss to Serena Williams in a classic quarterfinal, Vika remained in the zone and served up an ace when asked about the Wimbledon crowd mocking her and her opponent’s high-decibel grunts. Vika asserted that the fans may have knocked back a few glasses too many of Pimm’s while pointing out that male ten-nis players grunt too. Now the Brits do like to nurse their drink the unkind may even change `nurse’ to `guzzle’. Despite Vika’s reservations no Wimbledon can be complete without Pimm’s. Just ask Brit hope Andy Murray’s mother Judy, whose criticism of the way the iconic beverage was being served at the All England Club forced Pimm’s to change their recipe to less mint and more alcohol. But herbs aside, Vika does have a point about grunting. Prim, proper and slightly prudish Wimbledon might still be getting used to the idea of female players taking their match-es seriously . Of course, grunting is par for the course in other sporting arenas. Take football, where grunt-ing and other colourful expressions of effort, delight and disgust have evolved into an art form. Perhaps similarity between the Messi-ness of the beautiful game and international diplomacy is what prompted Prime Minister Narendra Modi to propose a Brics football tour nament during his Russian sojourn. Now apart from the fact that whoever passed on this idea to the PM belongs in a Russian gulag, no amount of grunting is going to help the lowly ranked Indian football team should such a tournament transpire. In fact, Modi stands a better chance of getting Russian President Vladimir Putin to do the surya namaskar or China’s Xi Jinping to perform the garba with or with-out grunts than India of not getting plastered in such matches.Of course, it’s easier with Pakistan given our shared cricket heritage.But against the backdrop of currently stormy bilateral ties, Modi’s handshake with Pak PM Nawaz Sharif wouldn’t have been sans a few low-decibel Ufas and Ouches. Back home AAP is at full stretch, like Vika, trying to provide a work-ing government in Delhi. After its Delhi law minis-ter Jitender Tomar was implicated in a fake degree scandal, another MLA Manoj Kumar has now been accused of forging documents to sell a piece of land that did not belong to him. But even if CM Arvind Kejriwal’s trademark cough doesn’t quite match up to the Azarenka grunt, he still has a unique ability to appear disgruntled. He’ll probably get out of this by turning all the scandals into alleged conspiracies. Meanwhile Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has promised to ban the sale of Pimm’s and all other varieties of liquor in his state should he be re-elected in coming assembly polls a move that will generate quite a few grunts. Perhaps Nitish should rope in Vika for his election campaign. Such an inspired doubles match-up could then serve and volley past the opposition and grunt to their hearts’ content.

The donut shop where singer Ariana Grande was filmed licking un-pur-chased donuts on display trays and saying, “I hate America,” has failed a health inspection. River-side County’s Department of Environmental Health has downgraded Wolfee Donuts’ rating from “A” to “B”, reported Ace Show-biz. According to the in-spection report, Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, California was told one of the reasons for it not pass-ing the inspection was due to “customers licking do-nuts incorrectly placed on counter.” The report said the donut tray should not have been put on top of display case where any-one could touch it. A man-

ager told the inspector that the employee didn’t know Grande, 22, had licked the donuts and “placed them back in display case for sale.” Wolfee Donuts has been given a week to cor-rect the problems but will not be closed as a result. The “Problem” singer hasn’t commented on the issue yet. Grande had ear-lier issued an apology for her “I hate America” re-marks, saying, “I am EX-TREMELY proud to be an American and I’ve always made it clear that I love my country. What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buy-ing the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words.”
