CABINET RESHUFFLE &
POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS
NOW, EVERYONE
LOOKS UP TO GEHLOT
Aditi Nagar
n the latest political
scenario in Rajasthan
Congress, now, every-
one in Jaipur and New
Delhi, including Sonia
Gandhi, Ajay Maken, Sachin Pilot
and even Gehlot’s 102 loyalist leg-
islators, are curiously watching
Ashok Ge- hlot’s ‘next move’
on the upcoming cabinet reshuffle
and political appointments.
A ‘seasoned’ State Congress In-
charge Ajay Maken, after his two
days stay in Jaipur on 7th and 8th
July and after having a three hour
long, one-to-one discussion with a
towering Gehlot, has reportedly
furnished his ‘factual assessment’
to party president Sonia Gandhi.
Now, after having a final round of
brief discussions, she is likely to
take the ultimate call on this long
pending issue in the next couple
of days, just after the announce-
ment of Punjab ‘peace formu-
la’ which is at a very critical
stage at this moment.
According to knowl-
edgeable sources, eve-
rything is being dis-
cussed with all the
stake-holders on a
day-to-day basis,
and any day and
any moment, the
date of oath taking
ceremony and
names of new and
outgoing ministers
may be announced,
where Harish
Choudhary may opt
for organizational
services. However,
after repeated fail-
ure of earlier ‘an-
nounced’ dates, now,
New Delhi is not will-
ing to publicly an-
nounce any specific
date for the oath tak-
ing ceremony but
any date at least be-
fore July 17 is com-
pletely ruled out.
After Ajay Maken’s likely visit
to Jaipur on 17-18 July, the final
compromise formula may be ap-
proved by the Congress high com-
mand. In spite of an ‘extra-hope-
ful’ Maken, there still seems to be
some serious ‘road block’ in the
settlement way. According to
sources, CM Gehlot is slightly up-
set with a growing pressure from
high command on him to ‘suitably’
accommodate Pilot camp and put
his stamp on the names and de-
partments of at least 4 Pilot
camp MLAs to be inducted
as ministers (may be 2
cabinet and 2 MoS).
In this context, it is
heard that Gehlot’s
viewpoint is that
there should be
no ‘camps’
(Gehlot or Pi-
lot) in his cab-
inet and the
final choice to
select 4-5 min-
isters out of 19
Pilot camp rebel
MLAs, should be
entirely left to
him. But Pilot
camp is reportedly
insisting for the in-
duction of their
own selected ‘nomi-
nees’ only with speci-
fied departments.
Similarly, Gehlot camp
also wants that Pilot
should not be allowed
to play any active po-
litical role in Rajasthan
through his frequent
tours and he should main-
ly concentrate only on the
affairs of the state which is going
to be allotted to him, once he takes
over the charge of a powerful gen-
eral secretary at AICC in the next
reshuffle.
All said and done...now every-
one awaits a mastermind strate-
gist Gehlot’s ‘amicable solution’ to
this complex issue, which may not
be easy this time.

TOP TWEET
IS NAVJOT SINGH
SIDHU FLIRTING
WITH AAP OR
ARM-TWISTING?
ongress in Punjab is
headed the expected
way. The feud be-
tween Chief Minis-
ter Amarinder Singh
and Navjot Singh Sidhu which
the party high command has
been unable to resolve has now
taken a new turn. The cricketer-
turned-politician used Twitter
to give a peek into his mind.
Whether he will leave the party
or was using the social media
platform to put pressure on the
Gandhis to take a decision in his
favour is still not clear. His tweet
said, “Our opposition AAP has
always recognized my vision
work for Punjab…” Recall what
Arvind Kejriwal said last month
about AAP’s CM face being a
Sikh and the logical deduction
is that Sidhu could be that face.
If Sidhu quits the Congress to
join AAP
, it will be a second time
that he will be embracing the
Delhi-based party
. In 2016 he left
the BJP to join hands with Kejri-
wal. But Sidhu as CM of Punjab
is hard to visualize.
C
ate in the name of
skin colour, reli-
gion or ethnicity
has become a fes-
tering disease for
our society
. Blacks are being
targeted the most in Ameri-
can and British societies
with not even sportsmen be-
ing spared. On Sunday one
saw the ugly face of Britons
and wondered if they be-
longed to a civilized society.
Surely, people of societies
supposed to be much back-
ward can give the hooligans
a lesson or two in cultured
behaviour. The soccer-crazy
mob did not stop at gate-
crashing and lawlessness but
also took to social media to
racially abuse the three
Black players in the England
team, especially Saka (19), for
missing their penalty kicks.
Prime Minister Boris
Johnson of Britain castigat-
ed those attacking the play-
ers. England team captain
Harry Kane stood by his
team-mates and said, “If you
abuse anyone on social me-
dia you are not an England
fan and we don’t want you.”
Something similar was stat-
ed by RSS chief Mohan Bhag-
wat, though in a different
context of hate. Bhagwat re-
cently said that those who
lynch Muslims or ask them
to leave India are not true
Hindus. Just as racists in the
UK will look at Kane’s re-
marks as a general homily, it
is doubtful if BJP and VHP
foot soldiers will take Bhag-
wat’s words with the serious-
ness they deserve.
In the US the killing of
George Floyd by a white po-
lice officer Derek Chauvin
early this year and of Jacob
Blake in 2020 sparked out-
rage. These instances are
symptomatic of a deeper ma-
laise. The sooner it is cured
the better it will be.
HATE RACISM, NOT
PIGMENT OF SKIN

SOCIAL MEDIA
SOVEREIGN LAWS
icroblogging is an online
broadcast medium that “al-
lows users to exchange small
elements of content such as
short sentences, individual
images,orvideolinks.”Major
microblogging sites, such as,
Twitter,Facebook,Instagram,
Telegram, Tumblr, Pinterest,
Scoop.it, LinkedIn, Reddit,
Gab,Plurk,oGoing,etc.,popu-
larly known as social media
platforms / networks / inter-
mediaries, have emerged as
thenewmediumof communi-
cation across the globe. While
these social media platforms
areveryempoweringinmany
ways, yet they are fraught
with immense possibilities of
abuse because of their reach.
Supreme Court opined in
2018 that the Indian Govern-
ment may make law to pre-
vent child pornography
, rape
imageries, videos from being
published on content hosting
platforms and other applica-
tions.Anad-hoccommitteeof
the Rajya Sabha submitted its
report on these issues in 2020,
which recommended tracing
the originator of such con-
tents. Against this backdrop,
the Central Government has
enactedtheInformationTech-
nology (Guidelines for Inter-
mediaries and Digital Media
Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 un-
der Sections 69A (2), 79 (2) (c)
and 87 of the Information
Technology Act, 2000. These
rules stress that social media
intermediariesshouldsubject
themselves to domestic laws.
With this legislation, India
has joined other countries
which regulate digital media
and provide a comprehensive
mechanism for the protection
of digital media consumers.
The rules define social media
intermediaries and signifi-
cant social media intermedi-
aries. There are additional
compliance measures for sig-
nificantsocialmediainterme-
diaries because of the large
number of users and the vol-
ume of content they process.
Generally
, the intermediar-
iesadoptapassiveapproachto
the content they host (unlike
book publishers). Since they
,
generally
,donothaveeditorial
controloverthecontent,coun-
tries are encouraged to enact
safe harbour protections
whichofferimmunitytointer-
mediaries from criminal lia-
bility
. In India, safe harbour
provisions are in Section 79 of
the IT Act. In case due dili-
gence is not followed by the
intermediary
, the safe har-
bourprovisionsmaynotapply
to them. These rules have es-
tablished a three-level manda-
tory grievance redressal
mechanism for all social me-
dia platforms in the form of
appointmentof Chief Compli-
ance Officer, a Nodal Contact
Person and a Grievance Of-
ficer to deal with complaints.
The basic objective of these
rulesistoensureonlinesafety
and dignity of users, to estab-
lish the identity of the origi-
natorof themessage/content
and to not host or publish any
information which is prohib-
ited under any law in relation
to the interest of the sover-
eignty and integrity of India,
public order, friendly rela-
tions with foreign countries,
sexually explicit videos, etc.
Critiques against these rules
are:thattheserulesarepreda-
cious; that tracing originator
of contentious messages
breaks encryption protocol;
that users’ right to privacy
may be violated; that they ad-
versely affect free speech; and
most importantly that these
social media intermediaries
are supranational entities fol-
lowing their own policies
which they treat as being su-
perior to domestic laws.
A tussle is currently going
on between Twitter and the
Government of India about
applicationof theserules.Itis
well known that Twitter is a
“chaotic echo chamber” de-
void of verified information.
Social media platforms gener-
ally do not furnish fact-
checked,reliableandaccount-
able information, although
they are bound to act against
‘catfishing,’ hate speech, fake
news and publishers of ob-
scenecontents(justrecallhow
YouTube nonchalantly pub-
lished video of nude Jarawas
tribes of Andaman Islands).
Undoubtedly
, social media
platforms are hugely influen-
tial, but still wish to function
with rights but without re-
sponsibilities. In western de-
mocracies social media plat-
forms were suspected to have
influenced core democratic
processes. ‘Net freedom’ can-
not be allowed to lead to crim-
inality
.Facebookhasacknowl-
edged before the Hon’ble Su-
preme Court in the Delhi riots
case that it removed 22.5 mil-
lion pieces of hate speech in
2020.Theserulesshouldnotbe
seen in isolation. What is hap-
pening in India is part of a
global trend. Content modera-
tion is the need of the hour.
To say that the social me-
dia policies are more impor-
tant to these platforms than
the domestic laws of India is
to directly breach the sover-
eignty of the country. Our
preamble declares India to be
a sovereign republic.
The social media platforms
are basically technology busi-
nesseswhichthriveonbillions
of dollars they generate from
the host countries through
various modes of advertising.
Theirreluctanceinabidingby
the new rules may jeopardise
their safe harbour status, be-
sides losing huge revenues.
Social media companies can-
not be selective about which
country’s laws they will ad-
here to. The profits they earn
have made them ‘digital dons.’
It will be better to impose tax
on their huge profits, besides,
enforcing the new rules, to put
an end to their bullying.

Kabul: As many as 22
Afghan commandos
were massacred in cold
blood by Taliban fight-
ers in Afghanistan’s
Faryab province. The
soldiers were killed
even after they had
peacefully surrendered.
According to a purport-
ed video retrieved by
CNN, someone can be
heard yelling: “Surren-
der, commandos, sur-
render”. The call is fol-
lowed by nearly two
dozen members of an
Afghan Special Forces
unit coming out of a
building unarmed.
As soon as they are
lined up in the street,
gunfire erupts for barely
5-7 seconds and all the
commandos can be seen
lyingdeadontheground.
The cold-blooded kill-
ings took place on June
16 in the town of Dawlat
Abad in Faryab prov-
ince, close to Afghani-
stan’s border with
Turkmenistan. CNN
claims the video has
been verified by talking
to several eyewitnessed.
According to a wit-
ness, after a fierce bat-
tle to hold the Dawlat
Abad town last month,
the Afghan commandos
had run out of ammuni-
tion and were sur-
rounded by the Taliban

Alwar: A horrifying
case of forced abor-

15-year-old minor of a
widow has come to
light at Kishangarh-
bas of Alwar. The po-
lice have arrested six
persons including
rape accused and the
woman who did the
abortion. The major
role of the police has
been that the victim’s
family was afraid to
file a case. The police
counseled them to file
a case so that culprits
can be punished.
After this, the fam-
ily members lodged a
complaint on Monday

Sources stated
that positions of
vice presi-
dents, general
secretary and
four posts in the BJP’s
Parliamentary Board
are likely to be filled
soon. It is learnt that
BJP national President
JP Nadda is currently
reviewing the perfor-
mance of several lead-
ers for these top posi-
tions.
The filling of these
posts is being consid-
ered crucial as the par-
ty prepares for crucial
Assembly polls in Uttar
Pradesh, Uttarakhand,
Punjab, Himachal
Pradesh, Gujarat, Goa
and Manipur, sched-
uled for next year.
With leaders like
Ravi Shankar Prasad,
Prakash Javadekar,
Harsh Vardhan and
others failing to retain
their position in the Un-
ion Council of Minis-
ters a few of them may
even be considered for
these vacant positions.
Many other leaders,
depending on the suit-
ability of their commu-
nity, region and other
aspects are also likely
to be accommodated in
these organisational
posts.
Sources in the party,
however, stated that
there is no guarantee
that all of those who
have been divested of
ministerial posts will
be accommodated.
It is to be noted that
with Bhupendra Yadav
being elevated to the
post of a minister, the
post of a general secre-
tary needs to be filled.
Meanwhile top BJP
leaders and Union min-
isters, including JP Na-

FOREST LAND
ENCROACHED IN RAJ
13,458
HECTARE...
Nirmal Tiwari
Jaipur: The number
of wildlife is increas-
ing in the state but en-
croachment on forest
land is also increasing.
Neither the depart-
ment nor the local ad-
ministration is serious
about the growing
wildlife and shrinking
forests. In such a situa-
tion, the mafia operat-
ing in the forests is
making huge money
due to illegal extrac-
tion of gravel, stones,
trees and even the wild-
life itself. The territo-
rial fights are another
cause of incidents of
human-wildlife clash-
es and territorial
fights.
According to the For-
est Department, there
is encroachment on
about 13,458
hectares of
forest land.
Recently,
therewasa
case of cap-
ture of
about 300 bighas of
valuable forest land in
the Khandoz forest area
of Kundera range of
Ranthambore. Similar-
ly
, such cases have also
beenreportedinKukas,
Kacherwala of Jaipur.
Fromtimetotime,cam-
paigns are conducted
by the Forest Depart-
ment to remove en-
croachmentsfromthe
forest land. De-
spite this, the
department
did not get
much success.

INTERVIEW FOR CHIEF SPORTS OFFICER (COACHING)
Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: Amid the se-
lection process of
Chief Sports Officer
(Coaching) in the
State Sports Council,
the protest has start-
ed by sportsmen, who
are alleging that the
government wants to
appoint Congress
MLA Krishna Poon-
ia’s husband, Viren-
dra Poonia to the post.
It is alleged that the
State Government
had created the new
post of Chief Sports
Officer (Coaching) in
the Sports Council for
Virendra Poonia,
husband of Krishna
Poonia, who was ear-
lier employed in In-
dian Railways and
remained absent from
duty without infor-
mation.
The Rajasthan Ar-
juna Awardee Asso-
ciation has written
a letter to Chief Min-
ister Ashok Gehlot
demanding a high-
level inquiry into the
matter.
The interview for
this post will be held
on Wednesday.
Although 9 candi-
dates have been called
to depict transparen-
cy in the selection
process, the sport-
spersons allege that
the selection of Viren-
dra Poonia is already
decided.
Gopal Saini, Secre-
tary Rajasthan Arju-
na Awardee Associa-
tion, said that MLA
Krishna Poonia wants
her husband to get a
government job ille-
gally, while her hus-
band is chargesheet-
ed in the Railways.
He said that the
rules of RPSC were
also not followed in
the selection process
and the CM Gehlot
should intervene in
this entire matter.

best and modern facili-
ties will be constructed

Birla, while congrat-
ulating Scindia for his
new responsibility, said
that many small cities
of the country have
now been connected by
air service under the
'UDAN' scheme. He fur-
ther expressed hope
that under the leader-
ship of Scindia, the fa-
cility of air service will
be expanded rapidly
.
During the meeting,
the two leaders also dis-
cussed about the new
Greenfield Airport in
Kota. Scindia assured
Birla that the construc-
tion of the airport in
Kota would be his prior-
ity. He will soon hold a
special meeting with
the officials of the min-
istry for this. The Ra-
jasthan government
will also be asked to un-
conditionally transfer
the land earmarked for
the new airport to the
Airports Authority of

Scindia said that it
will be his endeavour to
build the best airport
with modern facilities
in Kota that will accel-
erate the progress of
the education city. He
also thanked Lok Sabha
Speaker Birla for his
guidance.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Former minis-
ter and independent
MLA from Dudu, Babu-
Lal Nagar, a supporter
of CM Ashok Gehlot,
has now targeted the Pi-
lot camp, which may
again lead to a war of
words between the Ge-
hlot and Pilot camps in
the Congress.
Nagar said, “150 seats
of Congress were
claimed against the
BJP government, but
were reduced merely to
99. Now, those who are
claiming to form the
government by working
hard, should tell why
the seats were reduced?
Who gave tickets to
those, who lost their de-
posits by denying the
tickets to those who
won. Such leaders
should apologise to the
High Command who
left the Congress by
bringing the number of
seats to 99 instead of
150,” he took a jibe with-
out naming any leader.
The MLAs of Ra-
jasthan like Gehlot. 13
independents contest-
ed, out of which 10 to 11
people are those who
were ministers and
MLAs of the Congress,
who even after winning
as Independents, called
the Congress their
mother. Even their tick-
ets were dropped,” he
took a jibe at Pilot with-
out naming him.
Nagar said 80 -90%
MLAs are with Ashok
Gehlot. Along with the
confidence of the High
Command, the confi-
dence of MLAs is also
with Gehlot. “There is a
possibility of a third
wave and our first focus
should be on fighting
Corona instead of cabi-
net reorganisation,” he
said.
Nagar said he is not a
critic of Sachin Pilot
and considers Rajesh
Pilot a role model. “The
government is formed
not on the strength of
one leader, but by tak-
ing everyone along and
by the hard work of the
workers,” he said.
“ Gehlot used to walk
around with Congress
flag when we used to
wear half-pants. We de-
cided to join Congress
after witnessing his
zeal towards the party.

ola monsoons! While
manystatesinthecoun-
tryarejugglingbetween
torrential downpours
and flooding, conjuring
up images of grey skies
andalotof timeindoors
but between drizzles and show-
ers, monsoons are welcomed in
Rajasthan. The arid desert land
rejuvenatesafreshwithgreenery
and an air of festivities during
this season. So, if you are in Ra-
jasthan and yearn for more than
chaiandpakoraswhilewatching
the rainfall from the window of
your room, then head to one of
these monsoon destinations in
the state.
MOUNT ABU
The only hill station in Ra-
jasthan, is blessed with an ambi-
ent climate year-round and also
accounts for the heaviest rainfall
inthestate.Yet,therainswillnot
hamper your travel plans to the
town usually
. Once you reach
Mount Abu, the sight of the wa-
terfalls at their peak volume, the
overgrown flora and the fauna
over the misty mountains from
an altitude of 4000 ft is not your
everyday routine. An overcast
sky day is perfect for boating or
sauntering at the Nakki lake.
There are many attractions
curled around the lake including
Toad rock, Sunset point Raghu-
nath temple, and the Lake mar-
ket. Don’t miss visiting the Dil-
wara Temples known for their
intricate marble craftsmanship
while in the town.
PUSHKAR
With the onset of monsoons the
otherwise parched Aravalli hills
that encompass the town turn
verdant green. Getting awaken-
ing peacock calls in the morning
is a bonus! A rainy day hike to
Savitri Mata temple on the peak
of the Ratnagiri hills will not
onlygetyoubrowniepointsfrom
the goddess but provide a pano-
ramicviewof theentirePushkar
city
. One of the most fascinating
things to do during the monsoon
is to take some time out in the
early evening and chill near the
Pushkar lake. The lake gets full
up to the brim rather than being
a desolate puddle of water. From
juggling, hula hooping, firestick
shows, or even having dance bat-
tles there are street performers
from around the world showing
their skills on the ghats.
BUNDI
The raw austere alleys of Bundi
transforms from mud-covered to
the freshly rain-washed streets
dotted with blue-coloured hous-
es. The step-wells full of water
and the crowning fort makes it a
true hinterland. The focal point
of the town the 14th-century
Taragarh fort might not have the
grandeur of its contemporaries
but after the rains, the view of
the fort with the manicured
lawns in its front adds up to the
beauty
. Cascading from a height
of 60m the Bhimlat waterfalls is
another well-kept monsoon se-
cret that’s just minutes away
from Bundi. Barley 50 minutes
away from Bundi the most
breathtakingviewsof monsoons
are where the hills of Aravalli
and Vindyachal meet. The Gar-
daiya Mahadev is a Shiva temple
nestled in the deep ravines of
Chambal. The Chambal mean-
ders below, creating a horseshoe
gorge. The place is simply spec-
tacularwiththeredhillscovered
with green foliage that dips in
and out of the river with mon-
soon spurts of waterfall dotted
all across it.
BANSWARA
Known as ‘the City of Hundred
Islands’, Banswara is a mystical
paradise during the monsoons.
Theverdantsurroundings,abun-
dant lakes, and lush green hill-
ocks make it so breathtakingly
beautiful that you’ll forget you
are in the desert state of Ra-
jasthan. The popular lakes of
Banswara consist of the lotus-
covered Diablab lake and the
Anand Sagar. The lake’s vicinity
is dotted with cenotaphs that are
a good place to unwind and relax
amidst the showers. The peren-
nial Mahi river that flows
through the town starts to gush
with rainwater. There are vari-
ous dams and canals built over
the river which are best explored
intherainyseason.TheJuaFalls
in Banswara is yet another at-
traction that is in its full glory
during the monsoon.
UDAIPUR
It is a city that looks beautiful
in all seasons but monsoon is
the time to go beyond the cli-
chés. Here is the monsoon
checklist if you are in Udaipur.
The sunset boating at lake Pich-
ola amidst the monsoons show-
ers is still from the must-do’s
but the rest of the places are
typical monsoon attractions.
Eponymous to the season when
it should be visited the Mon-
soon Palace or the Sajjangarh
fort has jaw-dropping sunsets
during the rainy season. The
palace overlooks the Fateh Sa-
gar Lake and from the height of
3000 ft is a place where you
could gaze at the monsoon
clouds and enjoy the mesmer-
izing view of the lake both at
the same time. The drive to
Ubeshwar and Pipalya, a small
village near Udaipur is one of
the most beautiful locations to
view in green valleys and lush
hillocksonwhichcloudsdescend
looks like a dream. A good place
to stroll after dinner is at the Am-
brai Ghat and Fatehsagar Chow-
patty
. The place becomes alive
with locals and foreign tourists.
there are many boutique restau-
rants curling around the ghats to
plan a romantic rain dinner.
