Setting the stage for con-frontation in Parliament, an all-party meeting called in Delhi on the eve of the Monsoon Session on Monday ended in a deadlock over contro-versies related to Lalit Modi and Vyapam scam even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered to discuss all issues. The government ruled out any resignations. “There is no question of accept-ing ultimatum by any-body. From where did the question of resignation arise? Nobody can dic-tate terms to the govern-ment. From Government side, no Union Minister has done anything ille-gal or immoral,” Parlia-mentary Affairs Minis-ter M Venkaiah Naidu said.

A midday explosion in Turkey’s southeastern city of Suruc near the Syrian border killed 28 people Monday and sent nearly 100 others to the hospital, Turk-ish officials said. The prime minister’s office gave the casualty toll in a phone call to The Associated Press. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast. A Turkish official, however, said authori-ties have evidence that the attack was a suicide bombing and suspect the Islamic State group was behind it. He spoke on condition of anonymi-ty because he was not authorized to speak on the record.

With labour reforms fac-ing stiff resistance from trade unions, Prime Min-ister Narendra Modi on Monday said changes in the laws will be carried out through consensus and in consultation with them. Inaugurating the 46th Indian Labour Con-ference, he said “changes in the labour laws will be made with the con-currence of the unions and the consultation pro-cess will continue”. The government has set up a high-level inter-minis-terial committee under Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to hold discus-sions with the unions on

issues concerning labour. The committee held its first meeting on Sunday during which a host of labour related issues were discussed. Talking about different interest groups, Modi said that there was a thin line dividing the in-terest of industry and in-dustrialists, government and nation, and labour and labour organisations. Often one talks about sav-ing the industry but ends up protecting industrial-ists, he said, adding there was a need to recognise this thin line and adopt a balanced approach to the deal with the issues and change the environment. The Prime Minister also

regretted that the num-ber of apprentices in the country was very low and asked the industry to provide more opportuni-ties to them with a view to increase their num-bers from three lakh to at least 20 lakh. The number of apprentices in China is two crore, Japan one crore and Germany 30 lakh as against only three lakh in India, he said. “If we want to move ahead, we need to give oppor-tunities to our youth. Giving opportunities to apprentices is the need of the hour,” Modi said, adding there was a need to focus on people who are unemployed.

marks that if Modi was interested in running the Monsoon Session of Parliament smoothly, he should remove External Affairs Minister Sush-ma Swaraj, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasund-hara Raje and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The Prime Minister chose the occasion to remind parties that smooth run-ning of Parliament is a “shared responsibility” though the government has to take initiative for

it. He appealed to them to utilise the Parliament time for discussing all issues. On the Land bill, the Prime Minister ex-pressed agreement with the remarks by Ram Go-pal Yadav that since there is no consensus on the is-sue, both the government and the opposition should make some adjustments to resolve the issue. The Congress was, howev-er, somewhat isolated at the meeting called by Naidu on its stand of not allowing Parliament

to function if Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasund-hara Raje did not resign in connection with Lalit Modi row and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan did not quit over Vyapam scam. A number of par-ties felt a washout of the Parliament is not a solu-tion. “This is not correct. (The) Parliament will run but government must al-low discussion,” JD(U) President Sharad Yadav said when asked about the Congress’ stand.

4 held for wanting to take selfie with Gujarat CM Anandiben Patel’s helicopterSunvilla News | Ahmedabad

Four persons were today briefly detained by Khe-da district police for al-legedly trying to go near the stationary helicopter of Gujarat Chief Minis-ter Anandiben Patel for taking ‘’a selfie’’ on mo-bile phone. Patel visited Nadiad on Monday to inaugurate Taluka Seva Sadan building. She ar-rived by a helicopter ear-ly afternoon, said Kheda superintendent of police Sachin Badshah. After her helicopter landed on

a temporary helipad near the exit point for Nadiad on Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway, Patel pro-ceeded to the venue by road. According to po-lice, a white Swift car coming from Ahmedabad suddenly drove towards

the helicopter instead of taking the exit road for Nadiad. The police stopped the car. “As the four persons in the car had breached the secu-rity, we took the matter seriously and questioned them. We also checked their IDs. We found out that they got curious af-ter seeing the helicopter and wanted to take ‘’sel-fie’’ with it,” he said. “We released them as no other motive was found behind their act,” said Badshah.

State group. Kobani was the Islamic State group’s

biggest defeat last year since the militants es-tablished control over large swathes of Iraq and Syria, and has be-come a symbol of Kurd-ish resistance. A second bomb went off Monday south of Kobani near a Kurdish militia check-point on the road to Syr-ia’s largest city of Alep-po, according to Idriss Naasan, a Kurdish offi-cial in Kobani. It caused minor damage and no casualties, he said. The private Turkish news agency DHA said the blast in Suruc occurred at a cultural center while a political group was holding a news confer-ence on Kobani’s recon-

struction. News reports said 300 people from the Federation of Socialist Youths were staying at the center and were pre-paring to travel to Ko-bani to help with the re-building. Suruc hosts the

largest refugee camp in Turkey, which has seen nearly two million Syr-ians cross its border to flee the fighting in their homeland. More than 220,000 people have been killed and at least

a million wounded since Syria’s crisis began in March 2011, accord-ing to the U.N. Kobani was also the scene of surprise IS attacks last month that killed more than 200 people.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYIs govt softening its stand on foreign investment in retail?The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) govern-ment on 16 July cleared a long-pending proposal of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, giving Indian companies greater leeway to choose the kind of foreign investment they wish to bring in within the overall sectoral ceiling: foreign direct in-vestment (FDI), widely considered long-term capital; or foreign portfolio investment (FPI) or short-term capital. Companies can raise FPI up to 49% with-out prior government approval or compliance with any sectoral conditions. The second proposition is especially good news for companies as it is consid-ered a major ease-of-doing-business initiative by the government, removing another layer of red tape. The move is expected to benefit listed Indian retail com-panies, which had started demanding “level playing field” with e-commerce companies in having access to foreign money, in a big way. While the UPA gov-ernment allowed 51% FDI in multi-brand retail, it de-ferred a decision to make the foreign investment cap a composite one, through which listed retail companies could raise portfolio investment up to 51%. Kishore Biyani’s Future Retail Ltd repeatedly approached the UPA government for such easing of the norms, but with no success. To be sure, under the current regu-lations, Indian companies can raise their FPI holding beyond 24% to reach the permitted sectoral cap, by seeking the approval of its board or through a special resolution approved by shareholders. Earlier, lack of clarity about the foreign investment policy on multi-brand retail had deterred companies from raising FPI holding beyond 24%. Though the NDA government’s revulsion on FDI in multi-brand retail is well-known, it may have found a way out to provide some “level playing field” to offline retail companies by allowing them to access up to 49% of FPI through the equity market without having to approach the Foreign In-vestment Promotion Board for any approval. Also, even with 49% foreign capital, such companies will not have to be guided by the strict conditions at-tached with FDI in multi-brand retail, such as 30% compulsory sourcing from Indian small and medium enterprises. These conditions are considered a major dampener by foreign retailers. This is not the only change the government has brought about in its retail sector policy. Internationally, too, India has started sending signals that it is ready to make e-commerce part of trade agreements. At present, the government allows 100% FDI in wholesale e-commerce trading but none in retail e-commerce trading. However, it has often alleged that in the name of a market place model, wholesale e-commerce companies are flout-ing existing norms. So far, the government was of the view that since its domestic e-commerce policy is not clear, it will be difficult to include it in international treaties. At present, the government is reluctant to al-low FDI in retail e-commerce, fearing it will lead to backdoor entry of foreign offline supermarket chains.

In all BCCI plans to hold 900 matches through the nine-month calen-der year which they have computed to “2100 cricket days”. The BCCI on Monday decided to do mix and match with the upcoming domestic sea-son by scrapping Duleep Trophy due to packed schedule while changing the formats of the lim-ited overs tournament like Deodhar Trophy and Vijay Hazare Tro-phy. While announcing 900 matches across all age-groups in men’s and women’s category, the decision to do away with Duleep Trophy, which was once considered a tournament used for se-lection trials has raised a number of eyebrows. As recently as the last year,

the Duleep Trophy was selection trial for many Indian team aspirants. In fact KL Rahul made it to the Australia bound Test team on the back of his twin centuries in fi-nal for South Zone while playing against Central Zone. The board has also decided to implement the suggestions given by the Anil Kumble-led techni-cal committee where in the Deodhar Trophy will feature four 50-overs matches across five days

between January 24-28. It will be in lines of NKP Salve Challenger Trophy where there will be three teams. Just like Challenger series, the Vijay Hazare Trophy champions will be one of the teams, which will compete with two other teams (India A or India Red etc). Now these two teams will be selected by the national selectors from the performance of Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Gujarat Industrial De-velopment Corporation (GIDC) plans to launch two new schemes for plot holders and owners — a One-Time Settle-ment (OTS) scheme for defaulters and an impact fee scheme for those who have done unauthorized construction on their plots. The GIDC decided to launch these schemes after chief minister Anan-diben Patel received feed-back from occupants of plots in GIDC estates in different regions. Manoj Aggarwal, managing di-rector, GIDC, said that the decision to introduce the two schemes had been taken mainly to promote the growth of MSMEs (micro, small & medium enterprises) in GIDC es-

tates. “The schemes will end disputes and litigation with our plot holders re-garding their long pend-ing dues,” he said. “We will waive 3% penalty as well as give a flat 50% rebate on the interest that has accrued on principal dues incurred on various transactions. We hope the schemes will motivate plot holders to pay their dues as well as help the GIDC get more funds and reduce clerical workload,” said Aggarwal. He further said that this is the first time that the state govern-ment has decided to allow regularization of unau-thorized construction on private plots in GIDC es-tates. “In a number of cas-es, the plot owners have constructed on more than the approved limit of 50% area of their plots.

as well. But that was not a discrimination against being physically differ-ent. It involved being a girl, flat and simple. Peo-ple in my college thought since we were women, we cannot hold the highest of posts, and (they thought) that had to go to the men. That was the discrimi-nation that I had to fight

very hard to get over. I think somewhere down the line, we women start believing that we are less-er than the men… But, I’m not somebody who is OK with being placed at any level, where I don’t belong. So, I personally think that we all deserve equality, no matter who you are.”

One of the main reasons of im-plementing this project is to remove all the hurdles which comes into the way whenever a municipal corporation or municipal-ity undertakes expansion or new works for the de-velopment of their area,” said Patel. Whenever a municipal corporation or municipality undertakes various works related

to expansion of roads, streets or construction of a building, they encoun-ter a major problem of shifting electricity poles, overhead wires and trans-formers. “This infrastruc-ture was set up long back as per old Town Planning schemes.

Now GIDC plans impact fee, one-time payment schemes

Farm output down by 71 lakh tonnes in Gujarat

in production in most crops. The biggest loser was THE groundnut crop where despite a fall of only 4.41 lakh hectare in area, the production was only 20.37 lakh tonnes in 2014-15 as against production of 54.46 lakh hectares. Interestingly the cotton production in the state also fell by nearly two lakh tonnes despite increase in area of cul-tivation. State minister of agriculture Babubhai Bokhiriya attributes the

fall in production to less rainfall activity in the last year. “As there was no water in the dams so farmers could not sow their crops therefore the per hectare yield has come down drastically.” However, some people say there is another rea-son for this decline. The dean of an agriculture college refusing to be identified said agricultur-al land is being acquired for industry and hence the fall in production.
