After slamming govt, Manmohan Singh meets PM ModiAgency | New Delhi

Hours after slamming the NDA government, former Prime Minister Manmo-han Singh on Wednesday met Prime Minister Na-rendra Modi and the two discussed issues related to the economy and for-eign policy. Dr. Singh, a senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha mem-ber, went to the 7 Race Course Road residence of the Prime Minister to meet him. “Very happy to meet Dr. Manmohan Singh ji & welcome him back to 7RCR. We had a

great meeting,” Mr. Modi tweeted later along with their photographs. n a statement, Dr. Singh’s of-fice said the former Prime Minister met Mr. Modi at the latter’s “invitation”

and “they discussed the economic situation in the country and foreign poli-cy issues.” Sources close to Dr. Singh. that Mr. Modi had sent a message on Tuesday morning, ex-

They discussed economic and foreign policy issues, he said about the meeting which took place at 6.30 p.m.

Barking up the wrong tree: Rahul Gandhi’s suit-boot remarks were a disaster in Kerala

Agency | Thrissur

The first time when Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi mocked the Narendra Modi gov-ernment as a “suit boot ki sarkar” and went on with his snide remarks against it on the floor of the Parliament, it ap-peared to have caught the fancy of the nation like never before. For a moment, he looked spontaneous and capa-ble of “attack commu-nication” that’s integral to competitive politics in any country. His aggres-sion was right, sarcasm well-placed and modu-lation, uncharacteristic of a lazy novice that he is often compared to. But on Tuesday, when he addressed a Youth Con-gress rally at Kozhikode in Kerala and repeated

the “suit boot” allegory against Modi’s govern-ment and described how it betrayed the interests of farmers to help big cor-porates, it hardly evoked any response. The trans-lator’s efforts to spice it up by adding more ag-gression made it look ludicrous. But that didn’t stop Rahul from hitting the suit-boot theme again on Wednesday saying the Congress wouldn’t be in-

timidated by the Prime Minister and “five or six of his friends in suits”. The occasion, which should have been a mo-rale booster for the party that would be seeking a re-election in the state in less than a year, turned out to be a repeat of a standardised show with no context, strategy and purpose because Ra-hul was barking up the wrong tree.Centre wants to take country towards

dictatorship: Arvind Kejriwal Agency | New Delhi

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today made a blistering attack on the Centre, alleging that its notification con-ferring more powers on the Lt Governor was part of an “experiment” to take the country towards “dictatorship” and assert-ed that it was ready for a long fight on the issue. In his address at the Del-hi Assembly, Kejriwal lambasted Lt Governor Najeeb Jung who he said was “dancing to the tune” of the Centre and “delib-erately” trying to create obstacles for the AAP government. “Whatev-er is happening in Del-hi is dangerous. This is the Delhi experiment of the BJP-led Centre. One by one, this experiment would be implemented

in every non-BJP state. They want to take the country towards dictator-ship. I appeal to all non-BJP chief ministers to come together and unite on this issue,” he said. Kejriwal said the notifica-tion granting more pow-ers to the LG in appoint-ments of bureaucrats as well as matters relating to police and public order was issued considering “political” calculations

as the Centre wanted to defame the AAP govern-ment. “This is not a con-stitutional issue as BJP president yesterday said. This is a political issue. The Centre is trying to fail the AAP government. But we will continue our fight,” he said. He also alleged that slums across Delhi are being demol-ished at the instructions of Jung so that people get agitated against the AAP

government. The Chief Minister was speaking on a discussion on a resolu-tion against the May 21 notification issued by the Home Ministry. He said he is going to write to all chief ministers on the issue. In the notifi-cation, the Centre gave absolute powers to the LG in appointment of bureaucrats while also clarifying that he need not “consult” the chief minister on subjects like police and public order.

Anand Sharma also said that the meeting took place at the behest of the Prime

Minister who wanted to discuss issues related to economy and foreign pol-icy. They discussed eco-nomic and foreign policy issues, he said about the meeting which took place at 6.30 p.m. Earlier in the day, Dr. Singh hit out at the Modi government saying the “very idea of India is now under systemic as-sault”. In a scathing attack, Dr. Singh alleged that in-stitutions of democracy are under threat and the entire edifice of the welfare state

is being dismantled in the guise of promoting faster economic growth. Assert-ing that India was the sec-ond fastest growing econ-omy in the world during his tenure, the former Prime Minister said there was a “fragileness” in eco-nomic recovery under the current dispensation. Key-words: former Prime Min-ister Manmohan Singh, Prime MInister Narendra Modi, Modi-Manmohan meeting, foreign policy is-sues, Indian economy.

BSF Gujarat gets four new boats to guard Kutch-Pakistan borderThe boats that arrived three days back are currently in testing phase in the creek areas by the water wing of the BSF.Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad

The Border Security Force (BSF) Kutch has received four new fast attack crafts (FAC) to guard marshy creeks at Kutch-Pakistan border. The boats that arrived three days back are cur-rently in testing phase in the creek areas by the water wing of the BSF. BSF IGP Santosh Meh-ra commissioned the boats at Kutch. Accord-ing to the BSF officials,

the American made FAC can cover over a distance of one kilometer in 15 to 20 seconds with speed ranging between 30 to 35 nautical miles. The crafts are response vessels that can respond to any sus-picious activity observed or on receipt of input specially in anti-terrorist operations. The FAC are bullet proof and are fit-ted with arms at the hull. They are equipped with latest stealth technology

that enhances operations at the water by minimiz-ing reflections of radar, infrared or visible lights that alarm the enemies. The crafts have naviga-tion and communication, night vision mechanism and technology to coor-dinate with the border

outposts on ground and floating border outposts.The Ministry of Home Affairs had started the procurement of the American FAC in 2012, however, after a pro-longed tendering and purchase, the boats have arrived this month.

Rising school enrolment, plunging test scores

Given that children constitute one-third of India’s population and every fifth child in the world is an Indian, it is critical that every child’s right to devel-opment, as defined by the Constitution, is realized through an enabling education. Education is a tool for empowerment, and has been enshrined as a funda-mental right of each Indian citizen through the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009, and a means to obtain other rights. RTE along with initiatives such as Sar-va Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), launched in 2000-01, has contributed to almost two million children in the 6-14 age group enrolling in both government and private elementary schools across the country, resulting in a gross enrolment ratio of 106.3 in 2012-13 (District Information System for Education, or DISE, 2013). India boasts of one of the largest school systems in the world with 1.44 million elementary schools (DISE, 2014), 226,613 secondary, and 103,569 higher sec-ondary sections in 2013-14 (Secondary Education Management Information Systems, or SEMIS, 2014).Young Lives, a longitudinal research study on child-hood poverty, has been following two cohorts of 3,000 children, aged eight years (1,000 children) and one year (2,000 children) in undivided Andhra Pradesh since 2002. The first cohort of children completed 12 years of age in 2006 and the second cohort of children were aged 12 years in 2013; the data allows comparison of 12-year-olds in 2006 with 12-year-olds in 2013. The 2013 survey has shown an encouraging trend of 97% of elementary school en-rolment among 12-year-olds, up from 89% in 2006. Given that Young Lives has a pro-poor sample, it is heartening to note that no major gaps in enrolment have been found across gender, caste, or urban/rural location. However, there are inequities in terms of the kind of schools children are enrolled in, with private school enrolment rising from 32% in 2006 to 41% in 2013. The highest proportion of other caste/general category children (71%) and the richest tercile (72%) were attending private schools in 2013, compared to 59% in 2006. This highlights the segregation of the poorest children into public schools, while those who can afford to pay the fees, opt for private schooling. The survey finds a decline in mathematics test scores amongst children aged 12 in 2013, as compared to children of the same age in 2006. Mathematics tests scores for the same questions administered to chil-dren in the two rounds revealed that while 67% of the children in 2006 answered the questions correct-ly; this number fell to 53% in 2013. This decline is seen across government and private schools as well as all the wealth terciles. The most severe decline is noticed in government schools (20 percentage points) and surprisingly even the children in private schools and the wealthiest terciles show a decline of 12 per-centage points each.

Tabu Replaces Rekha In Katrina Kaif Starrer Fitoor

Agency | New Delhi

The latest updates on Abhishek Kapoor’s up-coming film Fitoor reveal that Bollywood’s one of the most talented and vet-eran actress Rekha will no longer star in the project. Apparently, the actress has been replaced by Hairder star Tabu. Rekha being a part of the film was one of the reasons why audiences

were anticipating Fitoor. The actress was to ace the character of Miss Hav-isham in the film but now Tabu will play that role. Recent reports suggest that Rekha wanted to re-shoot some of the scenes that were already done because she wasn’t satisfied with the outcome. If rumours are anywhere to be true, this could have been a rea-

son why the actress was replaced. However, the reason behind Rekha’s re-placement hasn’t yet been confirmed. While it’s sad to see Rekha go, we are sure that Tabu will do ev-ery justice to the role and fill the emptiness left by Rekha in the film. We last saw Tabu in Bollywood’s one of the most artistic films of all time, Haider.

Salman Khan can travel to Dubai awards show despite homicide conviction

Agency | New Delhi

Bollywood actor Salman Khan has been given per-mission to leave India and travel to an awards show in Dubai despite his recent conviction for a drunken hit and run. Khan, 49, was found guilty of culpable homi-cide and other charges this month for driving his vehicle into a group of five men who were sleep-

ing rough in Mumbai in 2002. One of them was killed. But Khan’s five-year jail term was sus-pended on 8 May pend-ing an appeal, and now it appears the nation’s most bankable star is free to continue his promotional duties. It is understood Khan’s lawyers filed an application seeking trav-el permission last week after the sentencing court

in Mumbai ordered him to surrender his passport as part of bail conditions. On 26 May, the Bombay high court granted him permission to travel, pro-viding he informs the In-dian consulate in Dubai about the details of his trip and files a security deposit of about 200,000 rupees (£2,030), accord-ing to the Hollywood Re-porter.

SPORTS ROUNDUPDe Villiers to miss Tests against Bangladesh, Steyn rested for ODIs

Agency | Johannesburg

AB de Villiers has been granted paternity leave and will miss the two-Test series in Bangladesh, Cricket South Africa (CSA) said on Wednesday. The Proteas named four uncapped players in their Test squad for the matches in July and August. Opener Reeza Hendricks, wicketkeeper Dane Vilas, spinner Aaron Phangiso and fast bowler Kagiso Rabada have all previously

represented the country in the limited overs formats. One-day captain De Villiers, however, will play the limited over matches preceding the Tests. “The changes have been brought about partly by the retirement of Alviro Petersen and the non-availability of AB de Villiers who has been granted paternity leave,” CSA convener Andrew Hudson said in a statement. “Reeza and Stiaan van Zyl are

both options to open the batting and Stiaan can also be used in AB’s batting position in the middle-order. Dane provides us with the wicketkeeping cover that would normally also be AB’s responsibility. “Aaron gives us a left-arm spin bowling option and we see this as the ideal opportunity to involve Kagiso in the Test team environment once again, so he will be the back-up fast bowling option.”

For 22-year old Romeo Fernandes, 21 minutes of fame in Brazil grinds to a halt

Agency | Mumbai

You’d think Romeo Fernandes would be the first name on Stephen Constantine’s roster for India’s World Cup qualifiers. After all, he plied his trade in Brazil for first division side Atletico Paranaense. And earlier this month made headlines when he became the first Indian to play competitive football for a Brazilian club But as it turned out, the 22-year-old’s Brazilian sojourn hasn’t impressed

chief coach Constantine much. The Englishman dropped the midfielder from the probables list for India’s first two qualifiers against Oman and Guam last week and was quoted as saying: “The door is open for everyone, but certainly not for a player who has gone to Brazil for somebody else’s benefits.” And what seems to be a fallout of this statement, Atletico Paranaense have decided to cut short Fernandes’ time at the club and released him from his

contract on Monday. Fernandes will return to Goa where he will continue being a part of the FC Goa set-up for the Indian Super League (ISL). In a short statement, the club said they hoped the ISL will provide him more exposure and help in getting selected for the national team. “At the end of the loan period, Atletico Paranaense has released Romeo Fernandes to participate in the ISL with FC Goa,” stated an official release.

Sensex recovers 33 points on late buying; Nifty ends in red

Agency | Mumbai

Snapping its two-day fall, the BSE sensex on Wednesday recovered by 33 points to close at 27,564.66 points on late buying in banking, FMCG and oil stocks after recent falls and hopes of rate cut by the Reserve Bank. Covering-up of short positions in select stocks in view of May month expiry in the derivatives segment on Thursday and hopes of rate cut by RBI helped the sensex to close in positive zone, brokers said. The wider 50-issue Nifty of NSE, however, closed down by 4.75 points, or 0.06 per cent at 8,334.60 points. Cautioned prevailed following disappointing earnings by Tata Motors and Tech Mahindra and overnight sell-off in the

US markets on fears about Greek fiscal woes and speculation that the Federal will raise interest rates this year, brokers said. Market participants are expecting RBI to cut key rates in its June 2 policy meeting as inflation worries has eased, they added. After opening lower at 27,447.40 points, the BSE sensex continued to slide and touched the day’s low of 27,363.72 points due to sustained selling. However, the sensex bounced back following emergence of value buying particularly in banking stocks in the last half-an-hour of trading on hopes of rate cut by RBI.

Gionee M5 certified by TENAA; may include 6000 mAh battery pack

Agency | New Delhi

After rumours of the up-coming Gionee Elife E8 surfaced, there has been a new leak in certain specifications of the new M5 smartphone. Earlier, Gionee posted a teaser on its Weibo account which hinted at the handset with two batteries. Apparent-ly, the New Gionee M5 has now been spotted for certification on TENAA (China’s equivalent of the FCC) along with a few specifications. The listing on TENAA shows that the smartphone will feature dual batteries and will pack in an impressive 6000 mAh. The device is said to have a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with a 720 x 1280 pixel resolu-tion. It might be powered

by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, paired with 2GB RAM. It also lists down the internal stor-age as 16GB which can be further expanded up to 128GB via microSD card. It is mostly likely to fea-ture an 8MP rear camera along with a 5MP front facing camera. Gionee M5 seems to be the first Android Lollipop based smartphone to support dual batteries. The device will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop out-of-the-box with the company’s Ami-go 3.0 custom UI skin on top. It is also said that it will be powered by a 3520mAh battery and support4G LTE networks. This handset will measure 164 x 82.3 x 9.6mm and weight 207 grams.

investigation against “persons unknown on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and of money laundering” again throws into the doubt the integrity of the voting. The announcement came only hours after six soc-cer officials were arrested and detained by Swiss po-lice pending extradition at the request of U.S. author-ities after a raid at a luxury hotel in Zurich. The case involves bribes “totaling more than $100 million” linked to commercial deals dating back to the 1990s for soccer tournaments in the United States and Latin America, the Swiss Fed-

He is not involved at all,” FIFA spokesman Walter de Gregorio told The As-sociated Press. “We are trying to find out more from the police.”

Micromax Canvas LapTab review

Agency | New Delhi

After establishing itself as a smartphone brand offering value-for-mon-ey devices with its Can-vas smartphones, Micro-max started eyeing the 2-in-1s or laptop-tab-let hybrid segment. It showcased the Canvas LapTab, a dual-OS (An-droid+Windows) lap-top-tablet hybrid at CES 2014. However, the de-vice turned out to be vapour-ware and never saw the light of the day despite the company’s claims that it was not put in the back burner.

It was speculated that Microsoft and Google were putting pressure on device-makers to halt dual-OS devices. More than an year later, the domestic smart-de-vice giant is back with a LapTab but this time it sports different hard-ware and is stripped off the dual-boot feature running Windows. Inter-estingly, it is very simi-lar to Notion Ink’s Cain, a tablet based on Intel’s reference design. For the uninitiated, Notion Ink’s first tablet, Adam, once dubbed as an ‘iPad killer’ had also turned out to be vapour-ware. Is the Canvas LapTab a better 2-in-one device than the Cain? Can it re-place a laptop? We try to find out in our review.

A Prime Minister’s responsibility is not limited to his personal integrity but extends to uprooting corruption from the entire system, BJP president Amit Shah said today as he attacked former PM Manmohan Singh over a string of scams that took place under his watch. “I firmly believe that a Prime Minister’s responsibility is not just limited to not indulging in corruption, but it is also his responsibility to stop others as well so as to uproot corruption from the entire system,” Shah told reporters here. “Under Manmohan’s leadership scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore were committed. How can

Congress shrug off its responsibility for this,” Shah said. The BJP chief was responding to a scathing attack by Singh earlier in the day during which he said the Narendra Modi government was “harping” on corruption to divert people’s attention to non-issues and asserted that he never used public office to “enrich” himself, family or friends.

“There were those who used to give zero loss theory, like zero loss in spectrum allocation, zero loss in coal allocation. “Today, under the BJP government, coal auction of 20 mines has generated Rs 2 lakh crore. This shows that heavy loss had taken place. And the loss was more than what was estimated by the CAG. One-third spectrum was auctioned

by us from which we have earned Rs 1.09 lakh crore and deposited this money into the national coffer. This shows there was loss in 2G, too,” he said. Demanding answers from the Congress, Shah alleged the UPA government “looted” national wealth. “Congress should give answers, those who had floated zero loss theory need to be made answerable now. They should accept that there

were scams and they looted nation’s wealth,” Shah said. “It is not enough to just talk about eradicating corruption. There is an expectation from the PM that he will provide corruption-free rule,” Shah said.

Power ministry proposes two tier tariffs for residential usersSunvilla News | Ahmedabad

Imagine getting up at night to do your laundry or iron your cloths to save electricity bill. This could become a reality if the Union government approves the proposed amendment in the Power Tariff Policy. The union ministry of power has proposed two tier tariff for day time and night time for residential and commercial consumers. Presently, this type of peak and non-peak hour tariff is only applicable for industrial users. The

Center has proposed to introduced two-part tar-iffs featuring separate fixed and variable charges and time differentiated tariff on priority for large consumers (with demand exceeding 1 MW) within one year. Subsequently, the government intends to introduce same time differentiated tariff for all consumers (residential and commercial) with-in a period of five years. “This would also help in flattening the peak and implementing various energy conservation mea-sures,” the union govern-

ment states. State govern-ment officials said that the move may be aimed at power load manage-ment. It will also help in streamlining the peak load. The Centre has also proposed to install Smart Meters for remote metering and billing, im-plementation of peak and off-peak tariff and de-mand side management. City-based Consumer Education and Research Society (CERS) has written letter to Union minister of Power Piyush Goyal opposing this pro-posed amendment.

In 1964, you could hunt lions in Gujarat for Rs 300Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad

The success of conserva-tion efforts in increasing the population of lions in Gujarat — the only abode of the endangered big cats — makes it difficult to believe that as recently as 1964, you could legally hunt these lions just for a fee of Rs 300, And this was possible when Gujarat had come into existence as a state. Records indicate that actual conservation of lions started only in 1972.

National Wildlife Board member and lion expert H S Singh said that the last permission for hunting the cats was given in 1964. Af-ter that, all requests were rejected by collectors of the districts, except when

a lion turned a man-eater. The records of a debate that took place on June 29, 1960, during the first Gujarat assembly session reveal that hunting was allowed in special cases on payment of Rs 300.

City-based historian Riz-wan Kadri recently came across these records while researching for a project. According to the records, when MLA Udaisinh Va-dodiya asked the state government if hunting was permitted in Gir, deputy minister Bahadur Patel said that it was allowed only in rare cases. Palanpur MLA Dungarbhai Parmar had asked whether the hunting of wild animals was al-lowed. In reply, home min-

ister Hitendra Desai had said that 111 wild animals were hunted in 1957-58, followed by 50 in 1958-59 and 90 in 1959-60. Between 1957 and 1960, 89 people had sought per-mission for hunting wild animals. In reply to MLA Madhavsinh Solanki’s question whether any lion was hunted in the state, Pa-tel said: “Lion hunting is banned but permission is allowed in special cases on payment of Rs 300.”

Ahmedabad doctor treats poor for almost no fee

Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad

Pushpa Nag, 24, a house maid, was fighting glau-coma and was on the verge of vision loss. Shuttling from one gov-ernment hospital to an-other, doctors told her it was a critical case and they would not be able to operate on her. Then she came into contact with Dr Manish Raw-al, who gave her eyes a new lease of life. Ini-tially, Nag was hesitant at the idea of consult-ing a private doctor due to financial con-straints. But Dr Rawal treated her cataract at just 10% cost. Anyone who knows Dr Rawal, would say that he’s one of a kind. What makes

him different from other physicians? In a country where millions suffer without proper treat-ment due to their inabil-ity to pay the exorbitant medical expenses, this benign doctor is doing a yeoman service. Even if your pockets are empty , Dr Rawal will sched-ule you an appointment. From 9am to 11am ev-ery Wednesday , Dr Rawal has been treating people with eye diseas-es like squints, cataract, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy at his Vadaj clinic for more than a decade. He has recently also extended the facili-ty to his Thaltej centre, where he sees patients in the evening.
