The national flag will fly atop a 207-ft tall flag mast on the campuses of all 46 Central Universities “prominently and proud-ly” to signify a “strong In-dia”, a resolution adopted at a meeting of their Vice Chancellors with HRD Minister Smriti Irani said today. The first of such flags will be hoisted on the restive JNU campus, offi-cials in the HRD Ministry said. “At a central place in every university, the na-tional flag will be flown prominently and proudly,” the resolution passed at a meeting Irani had with the Vice Chancellors of Cen-

The move drew a sharp reac-tion from the Congress which said nationalism doesn’t mean hoisting the flag and singing Vande Mataram and that it should be reflected in one’s belief in the Constitution.

But what still seems baffling is how they will achieve the price point so low for a device that is well speced to be priced a little over a couple of thousands. You don’t even need to be a businessman to do the math. Last night, Ashok Chadha, President, Ring-ing Bells took to answer-

ing media questions post the launch event and also explained how the com-pany plans to achieve this low price point, and ‘still’ manage to sustain. Firstly, he cleared the air about subsidy by saying there is no government subsidy involved, but the compa-ny plans to benefit from economies of scale. The Indian market is at 2 crore

units a month. If you take 30 percent of that, then you achieve economies of scale,” he had said. The Freedom 251 is priced around Rs 250, which means it could get them a cut of estimated Rs 500 on the Rs 2,500 bill of mate-rials. However, selling Rs 2,500 device at Rs 251 would still incur losses in crores, and how does the company plan to tackle that. Somehow, it appears there’s more that needs to be explained.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYNews Channels: Who is the patriot, and who the anti-national?

What the nation wants and what it gets are two very different things. Who represents the nation and who decides on behalf of over a billion people are entire-ly separate issues. However, who is an “anti-national” became quite clear in the last five days on Times Now, NewsX and Zee News on the question of the #JNUTrai-torTapes, as NewsX called them. Whatever the truth and lies of the videotapes that allegedly show JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and others indulging in se-ditious “anti-national” activity, coverage of the events on these channels is disturbing because it defined ev-erything within the generalised tag of “anti-national”. That means, if you disagree or even question this nar-rative, you are also unpatriotic. TV news has become an accessory, wittingly or unwittingly, to the “patriot games”, now playing out in the country. NewsX, Times Now and Zee News repeatedly telecast the #Traitor-Tapes, which they claim show protests in favour of Afzal Guru at JNU. On NewsX, there were at least six such tapes. You hear slogans — many about J&K — but often the tapes are “inaudible” at critical moments, which NewsX pointed out. Most of the footage is at night, it’s often difficult to identify anyone or actually hear them speak or chant slogans — there is no lip syn-chronisation of words with individual mouths. For all we know, the soundtrack could be superimposed on the footage. Or it could be authentic. We don’t know. So you shouldn’t jump to conclusions. However, NewsX, Times Now and Zee News (first to report on the JNU protests that led the police to its campus) used the vid-eos as proof of “anti-national” behaviour by Kanhaiya Kumar and others. The videos played out repeatedly under banner headlines of “treason, anti-national”, red circles identifying Kumar as the “traitor” and “anti-na-tional”. Watching the JNU tapes, listening to incessant talk about the “anti-national” would strike an emotive chord. - In such an atmosphere, came the attacks on students and journalists at Delhi’s Patiala House court premises on Monday by lawyers and their supporters who wanted to get their hands on the “anti-nationals”. This attack received live coverage and condemnation on most news channels, but if NewsX and Times Now showed the Patiala House violence on Monday, no one saw it. Why? On Wednesday, “patriotic” lawyers once again attacked journalists, at least one student and even Kanhaiya Kumar at the same venue. Vikramjit Chau-han, one of the lawyers involved in Monday’s attacks, was there too. “People who said ‘Pakistan zindabad’ have been made heroes and we are being called ‘goon-das’,” he said to the news agency ANI. Chauhan and others know they are on live TV and use the opportunity to portray themselves as the standard bearers of Indian nationalism. Times Now, however, had changed tack.

“A digital platform for enabling farmers to sell their produce at a better rate anywhere in the country will be launched on April 14, the birth anniversary of B.R. Ambedkar, we will launch the online platform,” - PM Narendra Modi announced in Sehore on Thursday

Film “Neerja” director Ram Madhvani said that air-hostess Neerja Bha-not’s family refused to give rights to make a film on her to numerous peo-ple, but had trust in them. “(Producer) Atul Kas-bekar initially spoke with the family. Before us, dif-ferent people have asked them the rights to make a film on Neerja. For some strange reason, they have said no to them, they said yes to us. That I think you should ask the family why they showed trust in us, or why they had faith in us,” said Madhvani. Neerja Bhanot, a 23-year-old flight attendant, was the youngest recipient of

the Ashok Chakra award for her heroic act of sav-ing 359 lives on the hi-jacked Pan Am Flight 73 aircraft in 1986 – but at the cost of her life. Though Madhvani has made a film “Let’s Talk”, he is primarily known for directing numerous ac-claimed advertisements and even directing a song in actor Aamir Khan’s “Taare Zameen Par” as well as the theme song of his television show “Sa-tyamev Jayate”. Popular photographer Kasbekar, who makes his debut as a producer with the film, was the brain behind get-ting Madhvani onto the project. “My friend Atul Kasbekar approached me

first, he asked me if I knew Neerja. Actually I’m one of the few people who didn’t know Neerja but knew about her. I knew the incidents on the flight and was aware that she had received the Ashok Chakra. Atul said that he had this concept and asked if I would make a film on it.. I immediately said yes because this is a story that needs to be told to everyone.” “The writer of ‘Mary Kom’ Saiwyn Quadras had approached Atul first – which I came to know later – then Atul approached me.

San-tosh Kumar Gangwar, minister of state, ministry of textiles (independent charge), Government of India, said on the sidelines of the “Make in India” summit here on Thursday that the new textiles pol-icy would be announced before the closing of the next session of the Parliament. The policy is ex-pected to accommodate a series of reforms to make India a truly manufacturing hub in textiles sectors so that Indian textiles players can take maximum advantages of the slowdown in Chinese textiles in-dustry. To begin with, the industry will see amend-ment in the labour law to facilitate women work-force to work during night shift. As per existing norms, women are allowed to work only in the day shift. With the textiles sector being the sec-ond-largest employment provider with over 50% coming in from women segment in rural India, it is important to facilitate women workforce adequate

day. “Rahane, at the end of the day, is a fantastic player but you also have to consider the fact that in Twenty20, he is some-body who has done really well when he is opening the batting. “If you look at the team we have got for the Twenty20 World Cup, you find it difficult to find a place for him.” An automatic selection in the Test team, Rahane has a strike rate of 114 in T20 Internationals and is among the rare batsmen who can score freely and still not offend the purists with his shot-making.

home game against UP Wizards on February 1, missing six penalty cor-ners as Delhi lost 4-6. This was followed by another off colour per-formance in a 5-2 loss against Punjab Warriors a day later. After those two losses, Delhi’s form went downhill as they lost an additional two games, leaving their semi-final hopes in the balance. And so, when Delhi played their last league game on

Wednesday, they were in a do-or-die battle against the Kalinga Lancers. And they needed Rupinder to step up. And step up he did. After some early circle penetrations, Del-hi were looking strong to score the first goal but Kalinga’s defence de-fied them. But 18 min-utes after the start of the game, Delhi were award-ed a penalty corner and Rupinder was back at his usual position.

team is always a tough job. It doesn’t matter whether you do well or disappoint. It is a tough job and I knew about this when I accepted this challenge. I enjoy taking up tough challenges,” Waqar said. The former Pakistan captain said at present, he was only fo-cusing on preparations

for the Asia Cup and World T20 events and not thinking about his con-tract. He said when the time came, he will think about it. Waqar was also candid about Pakistan’s chances in the two forth-coming events, pointing out that Pakistan will have to work very hard to do well.

more time and opportuni-ty, if I do miss the game and love the game, to be able to focus on that and improve. “I didn’t perform in that format as well as I would have liked, so now I’ve got the time to work on my game in that for-mat.” While Clarke played in 115 Tests and 245 one-day internationals, he only took part in 34 T20 inter-nationals during his first-class career. T20 cricket can be a big money-spinner for players, with Australian veteran Shane Watson net-ting a US$1.4 million con-tract at this month’s Indian

Premier League auction. This week Clarke is look-ing to help his old club -- winless and in last place - take on their stronger neighbouring club Rand-wick-Petersham in a two-day match. “I know a lot of the boys and they are all good guys, so it’s great to be back here,” he told the Sydney Daily Telegraph. “Wests has always been a great club and we’ve got a lot of younger players coming through now, so like a lot of clubs it’s a bit about rebuilding now and then we’ll be back to our best for sure.

Daemon India, like a si-lent creator, turned this glaring problem into a rare opportunity by in-troducing DaeBuild, the Real Estate CRM Soft-ware, that acts as a one-

stop solution to pre and post customer manage-ment, including leads, quote, sales, document, brokers and staff manage-ment.

Devshi Vankar. The only exception to the rule is if a relative wants to talk to a girl, her parents can pass on their phones for conversation. Vankar said the “entire population of 2,500”, comprising var-ious castes, “welcomed the decision”. Suraj vil-lage imposed the ban on February 12 but it may spread to other parts of north Gujarat as the po-litically influential Tha-kor community initiated

a drive to extend the re-striction, with support of other OBC communities such as the Rabari and Vankar. The motivation of the mobile phone ban for women can be traced to an alcohol de-addic-tion drive by the Thakors mainly aimed at men. As the drive progressed, the community came out with rules and regulations for women’s lifestyle. Community leaders felt just like liquor, the use

of cell phones by un-married women created a nuisance in society. In January, Ludar in Ban-askantha district was the first village to implement such a ban. The commu-nity vowed to intensify the drive against alcohol de-addiction as well as cell phones by passing resolutions during meet-ings being organised in rural parts of the state’s northern belt.’ “Alcohol consumption by men and cell phone use by women create a lot of disturbance in society. Young girls get misguided. It can break families and ruin relation-ship,” said Raikarnji Tha-kor, a community leader from north Gujarat. “It (the ban) is the villagers’ idea only,” he added.

The focal components of the event will be the buyer-seller meet, B2C meetings and the travel exposition. With partic-ipation of travel profes-sionals from states other than Gujarat, VGITM, as the Global Travel Expo-sition, will strive to rein-force the thrust provided by the successful “Incred-ible India” campaign of the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. VGITM will specifically promote the vast bouquet of tourist destinations in Gujarat and complement the highly successful promotional campaign featuring Amitabh Bach-chan, legendary bolly-wood actor and the brand ambassador of Gujarat Tourism.

Teen rape victim moves Gujarat High Court seeking to abort 5-month foetus

Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad

The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday asked the civil hospital in Sola to examine the medical con-dition of a teenage rape victim, who has sought to terminate her five-month pregnancy. This is yet another case of rape-in-duced pregnancy that has reached the court seeking permission for abortion. The girl’s condition has worsened since she “swal-lowed acid” after being raped. The victim reached the High Court along with her parents who are farm labourers from Junagadh

district. She was sitting outside the courtroom holding an intravenous drip. The parents said that they don’t want to talk about their daughter’s case, except that they want justice for her. According to the plea, “The petition-er-victim has crumbled physically and mentally on account of rape… she is survived after consum-ing solid liquid in form of acid and her condition is not sound that she may de-liver the child inasmuch as her organs like Esophagus, Liver, Gastric etc are seri-ously damaged…(sic).”

Keshubhai in 1970s and 1980s played key role in mobilization of Patel com-munity’s support in favor of BJP especially in Sau-rashtra region. In fact this is the task Vijaybhai has to achieve again in year 2017 assembly polls of Gujarat as party president.

end his life in support of the quota stir. Hearing on their bail pleas was completed on February 15 and the court had re-served the verdict to be pronounced today. On February 15 Hardik’s bail application was also to be heard by the same court but owing to the ab-sence of the Investigating Officer it was deferred till February 20. With the rejection of the bail pleas of the two co-accused today, chances of Har-dik getting bail from the same court in the matter

looks bleak. The crime branch of Surat police had on January 8 filed a 370 page charge-sheet in the case. All the three accused are lodged in Lajpore central jail here. Another court in Ahmed-abad will hear Hardik’s bail plea in yet another sedition case filed against him and his five aides on February 20.
