New Delhi: In a demon-
stration at Jantar Man-
tar against Agnipath
scheme, former Dy CM
and Congress leader
Sachin Pilot said that
the changes in rules of
the schemes after the
protests are a clear
proof that the scheme
has not been clearly
thought of and dis-
cussed at all.
“The scheme was just
imposed because there
is a history of imposi-
tion. Be it demonetisa-
tion, GST or other
schemes, they just im-
pose it and keep people
confused and create a
conflict,” said Pilot.
He said that he has
full faith that in the
manner the three agri-
cultural laws had to be
withdrawn after one
year, similarly the Ag-
nipath scheme will also
have to be withdrawn.
“If I have to do a job for
2.5 years, then the feel-
ing of solidarity among
the platoon, unit, battal-
ion, will not develop,”
he said.
Reacting to retired
army officers giving
statements in favour of
the scheme, Pilot said
they have worked for 40
years and are taking
pension in lakhs and
are giving knowledge to
the children who have
worked hard for 2 and
half years and recruit-
ment was not done for
the last 2 years on the

or how to run a coun-

Lanka and Pakistan
must take a lesson
from India which is
stoically warding off global
headwinds to avert a crisis. Sri
Lanka’s worse than that of Paki-
stan which has had problems
with economic development due
to its greater patronage to ter-
rorists than entrepreneurs. As a
consequence of which a Paki-
stan minister advised people to
stop drinking tea in order to
save foreign exchange. In anoth-
er development, all shopping
malls, wedding halls and mar-
kets in the Sindh province have
been asked to close down early

.
Sri Lanka’s fuel crisis is going
from bad to worse. From next

supply do not improve. Lankan

TOP TWEETS
F
iolent protests by
Agniveers have al-
ready done a lot of
damage to govern-
ment property be-
sides causing inconvenience
to the people. The anger of
Agniveer aspirants was justi-
fied, but certainly not the
widespread arson and dam-
age to property
. The extent of
violence has been such that
an impression has been cre-
ated about protesters not be-
ing aspirants for jobs in the
armed forces. It is now be-
lieved that other troublemak-
ers have tried to take advan-
tage of the movement. The
crackdown and police cases
on the agitators that followed
the violence would leave the
angry youth facing a dark al-
ley
. Their entry in the defence
forces is as good as blocked.
The government is reach-
ing out to the angry youth by
announcing concessions in
the scheme. Even as Defence
Minister Rajnath Singh held
another meeting with the
three Services chiefs on Sun-
day, the government prom-
ised a 10 percent job quota for
Agniveers in paramilitary
forces to address employment
concerns of the youth at the
end of four years. The reser-
vationwillalsobeprovidedin
Coast Guard, the 16 defence

and defence civilian posts.
Union Home Minister’s said
in a tweet that Agniveers will
be given three-year age relax-
ation beyond the prescribed
upper age limit for recruit-
mentinCentralArmedPolice
Force and Assam Rifles.
The angry youth must look
at these developments and
prepare for the recruitment
process. Eschewing violence
for some stability in career,
even if it is short lived, is
what the youth must seri-
ously consider. The govern-
ment may not be willing to
give in to pressure.

Reacting Mindfully!
INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY — JUNE 21
ith the moment ushering on
21st June as International
Yoga Day, it is the time to sit
back and reflect and acknowl-
edge that we all experience
suffering, discontent, or dis-
satisfaction. Acceding this
predicament is the first step
towards understanding the
painful experience which is
more relevant than ever be-
fore in the current excruciat-
ing times that we all are ex-
periencing. With everything
that is currently going on in
the world, our stress levels
may likely be heightened.
For some people, the uncer-
tainty of this time causes a
lot of anxiety, especially the
younger segment such as
small children and teenag-
ers. It’s important to realize
and practice healthy ways of
de-stressing as we learn how
to deal with normal everyday
life. While the world is gasp-
ing in bewilderment to save
itself from the agonizing Ef-
fects of home -office and in-
creasing stress on the young-
er generation which seem
rhapsodical, looking back
may hand us an enshrined
solution in the form of yoga
which may equip us to fight
this battle.
International Yoga day is a
reminder that from the an-
cient scripture to the Middle
Ages until the very recent
studies which are supported
by scientific evidence, it is
becoming very apparent that
yoga is not only the strength-
ening of the body but also
stabilizing the mind and
heart through various
breathing techniques. It is
one form of physical exercise
that works in synchroniza-
tion with the mind and soul.
There is ample literature
available on yoga not only in
India but also across Europe.
What makes yoga exclu-
sive is, it’s being inclusive.
People of all age groups, na-
tionalities, and social back-
grounds can practice it be-
cause yoga is accessible to
all. There are various kinds
of yoga practices, so it’s pos-
sible for anyone to start. Size
and fitness levels don’t mat-
ter, there are modifications
for every yoga pose. Apart
from the real physical effect
of stress and anxiety on our
younger population, the men-
tal health implications of
this can be felt just as strong-
ly. For those already suffer-
ing from mental health con-
ditions or anxiety, the added
stress can feel overwhelming
and unmanageable. Anxiety
thrives on uncertainty and
being in a constant state of
waiting for something to hap-
pen will only increase this.
Anxiety and the manner in
which we breathe are co-
joint. The principles of yoga
offer a wonderful, logical ex-
planation to regulate stress.
Studies have shown how, if
practiced in moderation
from an early age, yoga teach-
es you to train your brain for
healthy emotional outlets
and handle stress which
seem almost crucial to teen-
agers.
Breathing and yoga are of-
tentimes associated with the
same umbrella. While both
activities encourage mind-
fulness, health, and relaxa-
tion. Yoga can get intense
and serve as a workout de-
pending on the level. Breath-
ing, however, is effortless and
can be practiced everywhere
with being a little mindful.
Often, when we are in a
stressful situation, we get
anxious and do not give our
minds a chance to think logi-
cally. This is the situation
where mostly the people of
age group between 12 to 20
react frantically to the situa-
tion from day to day life.
Breathing rightfully sup-
ports our emotional health
by stamping out the informa-
tion overload that we all ex-
perience daily. It allows us a
clean space in our mind
which in turn can cast us to-
wards positivity
. We not only
feel revamped but we also
become mindful of people
and situations which lead us
to a deep consciousness of
life -force. Which the youth
needs to invest in the future.
Yoga fosters empathy and
larger understanding, and it
is worth observing that sym-
pathy and receptivity lie at
the very root of yoga’s first
principle- helping others by
helping oneself.
Yoga practice can help
young people, especially stu-
dents to develop a non-impul-
sive reaction to events. As
Krishnamurti states “You
can perceive totally, com-
pletely only when the mind is
wholly quiet. So the profes-
sionals, the teachers, the gu-
rus say you must sit in a cer-
tain posture, control your
thought, breathe properly,
and so on.” This will lead one
to handle contradicting emo-
tions. Do not take your
breathing for granted, it’s
magical when you know how
to breathe right. Taking the
time to breathe mindfully
and deeply for a few minutes
or so can already help you to
see an improvement without
even moving a muscle. The
power of being still is just as
important as the power of
movement. Children need to
be active but also they need
mindful emotional clarity
.

Over time, yoga can help
you to regain that sense of
control and allow your
mind and your body to
sharpen each other, which
in turn gives you the tools
to better manage those
moments when you feel
anxious over a situation,
you can’t control be it
school assignment pressure
or a feeling of isolation.
Sometimes our biggest
enemy is our own mind, so
give yourself some time to
relax your mind and focus
on yourself. It is doing
more good for your body
than you know. On this
international day of yoga
let’s embark on this self-
fulfilling journey of yoga
and peaceful joy
International Yoga day is a reminder that from the

Rahul Gandhi slams Vijayvargiya’s statement
New Delhi: Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi on
Sunday questioned prime
minister Narendra Modi’s
silence on the Agnipath
scheme controversy, as
he reacted to BJP leader
Kailash Vijayvargiya’s
statement that he (Vi-
jayvargiya) would give
preference to ‘Agniveers’
if he could hire people
to protect BJP’s offices.
“Those who did not hoist
the tricolour for 52 years
after independence, they
cannot be expected to
respect our soldiers,”
Gandhi said. “Youngsters
are passionate about
joining the army because
they want to protect the
country, and not because
they want to be chowk-
idars at BJP’s offices. The
PM’s silence is a stamp on
this insult,” Rahul added.

Ask ex-ministers to vacate

Ahmedabad: When the
BJP dissolved its entire
council of ministers fol-
lowing the resignation
of the then Gujarat
chief minister Vijay
Rupani last year in Sep-
tember, all ministers
vacated the allotted
bungalows, but soon 15
former ministers were
given govt accommoda-

enclave at subsidized
rates.
Now, the Cong has de-
manded that the govt
ask all these former
ministers to vacate govt
bungalows, as none of
their children are stud-
ying in schools or col-
leges in Gandhinagar.
In a letter addressed to

Assam CM Himanta Biswa
unphased by retirement,
assures job to 75 per cent
Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: Assam
Chief Minister Him-
anta Biswa Sarma
has already ruled out
any agitation against
theAgneepathplanto
recruit in the army
.
He announced that 75
percent of the Ag-
niveers who would be
retiring after four
yearsof serviceinthe
army would be rein-
stated in the Assam
Police. Earlier, states
likeUttarPradesh,Ut-
tarakhand etc. had
said that the retiring
Agriveers would be
given priority in the
appointments of po-
lice and disaster man-
agement department,
but Himanta said that
all the retiring youths
wouldbegivenjobs.If
you look at it, it’s not
even a big deal.
If on an average,
GoI appoints 50 thou-
sand Agniveers every
year and out of them
37k people retire eve-
ry 4 years, then in a
small state like As-
sam, the number of
Agniveers retiring
will be around one
thousand or so. Ad-
justing 1000 people in
jobs every year is not

New Delhi : Barring a
few exceptions in India,
strong leaders do not
contest the Presidential
elections, especially not
from the opposition
parties. Rarely has it
happened that a person
of strong political back-
ground and engaged in
active politics from the
opposition has contest-
ed the election of the
President. Usually, it is
considered that any
leader from the opposi-
tion would loose the
election, so no towering
or senior leader is ready
to fight these elections.
A leader who fights for
a Rajya Sabha ticket,
even if he or she is
asked to contest the
election of the Presi-
dent, they would refuse.
They would rather
agree to contest the
election of Lok Sabha
or State Assembly by
taking the risk of losing
but would not want to
contest the election of
the President.
This is the reason
why opposition parties
have to put forward the
names of ‘spent’ leaders
or non-political persons.
This time also leaders
like Sharad Pawar and
HD Deve Gowda have
refused to contest the
presidential election.
Bihar Chief Minister
Nitish Kumar’s name
was speculated to be in
the Presidential race,
however, the manner in
which he gave a clarifi-
cation, made people feel
that if he didnt clarify,
he may have been
caught and fielded force-
fully for the Presidential
election! If the opposi-
tion parties had fielded
a strong leader and then
even if the presidential
election would have
been ‘pre-decided’, at
least the fight would
have been good.
This is the first time
the Shiv Sena has raised
this point on behalf of
the opposition parties. It
hasrejectedtheproposal
to name both Gopal
Krishna Gandhi and Fa-
rooq Abdullah by writ-
ing an editorial in its
mouthpiece ‘Saamana’,
terming both of them as
‘weak candidates’. Shiv
Sena has stressed on the
need to field a strong
leader from the opposi-
tion side and even many
other opposition parties
want a real fight instead
of a symbolic fight. The
opposition knows that af-
ter fighting unitedly
, 30 to
35%of thevoteswillgoto
itscandidate.Despitethis,
if an active and strong
leader is fielded, he will
roam around the country
and create a political at-
mosphere.
If we talk about the
last 30 years, the only re-
nowned politian with a
respectablepublicstand-
ing had been Bhairon
Singh Shekhawat, who
contested the Presiden-
tialelection.However,he
too had retired from ac-
tive politics and contest-
ed the presidential elec-
tion after being the VP
forfiveyears.Apartfrom
him, the opposition has
given a symbolic candi-
date every time. Meira
Kumar was the candi-
date in the last election
i.e. 2017 and PA Sangma
contested in the 2012
elections. Shekhawat
had fought in 2007. In
2002, the opposition sup-
ported APJ Abdul Kal-
am, but the Left had
fieldedCaptainLakshmi
Sehgal. Before that in
1997 also the opposition
had supported KR
Narayanan, yet Shiv
Sena had fielded TN Se-
shan. Before that, in
1992, George Swale was
the opposition’s candi-
date. The story of presi-
dentialcandidatesof the
party‘in-power’isnodif-
ferent. In the last 30 yrs,
except Pranab Mukher-
jee, all other ‘govern-
ment’ candidates were
also retired politicians
or non-politicians.

for issuing leases for
lifting gypsum layer to
the farmers.
Separate orders will
be issued for obtaining
permit applications
for issuance of leases
of mineral gypsum in
Sriganganagar and
Hanumangarh dis-
tricts.In view of the
excessive use of min-
eral gypsum in agri-
culture, Mines Minis-
ter Pramod Jain Bhaya
had recently stressed
on the need for simpli-
fication of process and
issue of permit pro-
ceedings at the earli-
est. ACS Mines said
that Rajasthan has the
largest deposits of
gypsum in the country,
as well as increasing
the production of puls-
es, oilseeds and wheat,
gypsum is mainly used
as alkaline soil recla-
mation and soil nutri-
ent.He informed that
there are reserves of
more than 1,000 mil-
lion tonnes of gypsum
in Bikaner, Sri Ganga-
nagar, Hanuman-
garh, Barmer, Jais-
almer, Churu and Na-
gaur districts of the

Mining of gypsum
up to three meters be-
low the surface is con-
sidered a non-mining
activity as the gypsum
mineral is generally
superficial.

MUKUNDRA SAFARI:
ADVENTURE OR
MISADVENTURE?
The forest department is turning
adventurous as it plans to start a
safari in Mukundra with just one
tigress. As per informed sources the
process to register safari vehicles has
started. At the moment, safaris are
being organised in Ranthambore and
Sariska. Their are 77 26 tiger herds
in Ranthambore and Sariska
respectively. Whereas in the Mukundra
hills habitat their is just one tigress MT-
4. In the last 18 months six tigers and
cubs have died in Mukundra owing to
the negligence of forest department.
The department hasn’t been able to
sustain a tiger herd in the region and is
still planning to go ahead with a safari.
To make things worse, monsoons are
approaching wherein the safari will be
closed. With such unpreparedness,
starting a safari would be misadventure
which might not attract any tourists.

tion has created two re-
cords, of sorts, as far as
Jaipur Collectors are
concerned. Firstly, the
government has ap-
pointed five collectors
in merely three and a
half years of its term
and secondly, handing
over the reins of the all-
important district to
promotee IAS from
RAS. It is important to
note that promotee IAS
Jagroop Singh was post-
ed as Collector merely
11 months before his re-
tirement to oblige the
‘favoured’ official. Simi-
larly, second promotee
IAS Antar Singh Nehra
was also awarded the
position for being gov-
ernment’s ‘favourite’.
However, his term was
marked with controver-
sies and due to disgrun-
tlement of senior offi-
cials in the state govern-
ment, Nehra had to be
removed after 12
months. Serving as
Jaipur Collector is a
challenging task and
prior to the current gov-
ernment, the unwritten
rule had been that a sen-
ior IAS with experience
in Collectorates of 2-3
districts would be given
this position.
The names doing the
rounds which can be
considered after Rajan
Vishal leaves, are Muk-
tanandAgarwal,Nakate
S Madan, Kumar Pal
Gautam, Chetan Deora
and Tarachand Meena.
A 2008 batch IAS of-
ficer, Muktanand Agar-
wal is serving currently
as Registrar, Coopera-
tives and is considered a
favourite officer of the
government. He has
served as Collector in 6
districts and can now be
givennewresponsibility
Nakate S Madan, a
2011 batch officer, is
currently serving as Al-
war Collector and has
proved his capabilities
in Barmer, Srigangana-
gar and Bhilwara as
Collector. Interestingly,
he has ‘protection’ of
senior officers in the
government.
A 2009 batch IAS of-
ficer, Kumar Pal Gau-
tam has been eyeing the
chair of Jaipur Collec-
tor for a long time and
is currently serving as
RUIDP Project Director.
Although he had fallen
out of favour of the
government in recent
past, but now ‘all is
well’, reportedly.
A Promotee IAS offic-
er of 2088 batch, Chetan
deora, hails from Jodh-
pur and is another fa-
vourite of the state gov-
ernment. He was given
the position of Excise
Commissioner, but he
courted controversy and
was removed after four
months.Heissettoretire
after 6 months and could
be given the position to
oblige and reward him
for his services.
A2011batchpromotee
IAS officer, Tara Chand
Meena is considered to
be the front-runner for
the Jaipur Collectorate
and has two years to his
retirement. He too could
be given the high chair
prior to his reitrement
as a reward.
Apart from these of-
ficer, there are half a
dozen more IAS officers,
who are in the race for
Jaipur Collectorate and
only time will tell who
amongtheseispreferred
for the coveted post!
‘HUSHED’ RACE FOR JAIPUR COLLECTORATE BEGINS!
IN POWER CORRIDORS
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Commenting
on UDH Minister Shan-
ti Dhariwal’s remark on
Education Minister Dr
BD Kalla, Dy LoP Rajen-
dra Rathore tweeted, “I
salute the courage of
my friend UDH Minis-
ter Shanti Dhariwal
who scolded Congress
High Command on pre-
text of Education Min
BD Kalla. The contra-
diction in Cabinet is at
its peak. Now minis-
ters should wear hel-
mets amid tight police
arrangements while
going out.”
Shanti Dhariwal had
commented on party’s
decision to give ticket
to Dr Kalla, who
lost elections twice,
while speaking at a
party meeting in Kota
on Saturday.

It’s not...
What must have hap-
pened to their family.
So, is this method
good?” he asked while
talking to media at Del-
hi airport. He said the
institutions like ED and
CBI arent’ independent
these days and mali-
cious action is being
taken against LoPs.
“Sonia Gandhi, Rahul
Gandhi are being har-
assed unnecessarily
.
Gandhi family sacri-
ficed for nation. Indira
Gandhi Rajiv Gandhi
gave their lives for coun-
try
. Today, situation is
very tense,” Gehlot said.
Senior officers of
constitutional institu-
tions are working un-
der pressure. Delhi Po-
lice entered Congress
HQs beat up leaders.
Such acts don’t send a
good message. Delhi Po-
lice wants to crush
peaceful protest, he
said. “Centre’s various
agencies are targeting
Raj. It is fascist think-
ing. On June 13, I sought
time to meet Director of
CBI, ED, Income Tax
but they refused to
meet. My family has
nothing to do with poli-
tics but they are harass-
ing them. Its wrong.
Take action against us
if you want but why
harass family,” he said.
Roll back Agnipath in time: CM to Centre
The Modi government is against people. They want to fill the people of RSS in the Army, says Dotasra
Ziauddin Khan
Jaipur: The Congress
on Sunday, held a pro-
test in Jaipur against
the Centre’s Agnipath
scheme and demanded
its withdrawal in the
‘interest’ of the
youth and the country.
CM Ashok Gehlot al-
leged the government
introduced the scheme
in a hurry, which cre-
ated resentment among
the youth and the gen-
eral public.
“The PM should un-
derstand youth senti-
ments and withdraw
the scheme within time.
The decision was taken
in a hurry
. It is being op-
posed across the coun-
try. I believe that the
government should
take a quick decision
and take it back,” Ge-
hlot told reporters at
the Amar Jawan Jyoti
where the party leaders
gathered for the protest
amid slight showers.
PCC Chief Govind
Singh Dotasra said the
decision of starting
contractual recruit-
ment of soldiers is “an-
ti-national, anti-people
and against the security
of the country”. “The
Modi government is
against people. Earlier,
the PM deceived farm-
ers, then traders and
now the youth. They
want to fill RSS people
in the Army,” he said,
adding, “Modi became
the PM with youth
farmers’s vote, but he
troubled them. The ral-
ly which started from
Amar Jawan Jyoti con-
cluded at PCC.
Various Congress
leaders including
Pratap Singh Khachari-
yawas, Dr BD Kalla,
Mamta Bhupesh, Udai-
lal Anjana, Mahesh
Joshi, Rafeek Khan,
Amin Kagzi, Krishna
Poonia, Dharmendra
Rathore, Munesh Gur-
jar and other leaders
participated in the rally

strived to save Jal,
Jungle Zameen
First India Bureau
Kota: Lok Sabha Speak-
er Om Birla on Sunday,
laid the foundation
stone of a hostel for
Bheel community in
Tagore Nagar.
There was so much
enthusiasm among the
people of the commu-
nity that they kept
standing in heavy rain-
fall for the programme.
Birla laid the founda-
tion stone and also an-
nounced financial sup-
port of Rs 50 lakh for
the construction of the
hostel. He also appreci-
ated the community
people for their aware-
ness for education.
The hostel is being con-
structed by Akhil Bhar-
tiya Adivasi Bheel Vi-
kas Samiti. When Birla
reached, he was over-
whelmed to see the peo-
ple, particularly women
and children. He said
that tribals have strug-
gled to save ‘Jal, Jungle
and Zameen.’ He also
said that he will help
the youth of the com-
munity in preparing for
the civil services.

Kota on Sunday. Also seen here is Chunni Lal Bheel others.

event use chairs to protect
themselves from the rain.
Why isU’khandPolicereluctanttoregister
FIR against land mafia and miscreants?
First India Bureau
Dehradun: Is the Utta-
rakhand Police a force
merely for optics or is it
a force to take tough
stand and actions on
miscreants? An inci-
dent that occurred on
Sunday has surely
brought the conviction
and commitment of the
state’s police force un-
der question.
On Sunday morning,
some miscreants had
encroached and illegal-
ly captured a property
situated in Nalapani po-
lice station area on Ra-
jpura Road of Uttara-
khand, where con-
struction work was
going on at the spot.
Meanwhile, 40 to 50 mis-
creants armed with
weapons arrived at the
spot and started remov-
ing the construction
equipment and items. It
is alleged that the
goons had reached un-
der leadership of one
Pankaj Arora, Late Dur-
garani’s son.
The property owner
immediately gave a com-
plaint to the police, but
the police also failed to
act on the complaint!
First India prominently
picked up the issue and
after the matter was
pickedup,thelocalpolice
came out of its slumber
and took action and after
removing both the sides
to the dispute from the
said land, the cops took
the parties to the Nalapa-
ni police station. Howev-
er, the ‘aggressors’ were
released by the police af-
ter merely issuing a
warning! Neither the ac-
cusedwastakenintocus-
tody nor an FIR has been
registered till now.
Therefore, now the
question remains as to
why is the Nalapani po-
lice station being kind
to the ‘goons’ and ag-
gressors? Why is the lo-
cal police reluctant to
act against the ‘miscre-
ants’? Is there such a
major difference in law
and order of Uttara-
khand and Uttar
Pradesh, where UP is
proving to be a better
managed state, while
wrongful activities re
being carried out under
the very nose of Uttara-
khand police! Will
Chief Minister Push-
kar Dhami take cogni-
zance in the matter?
Raj HC CJ for a month!

anhvi Kapoor is one of the fittest and
stunning actresses of the current genera-
tion. She never fails to make our heads
turn with her fashion game. Janhvi often
shares pictures and videos of her workout ses-
sions to motivate her fans. We also often see
the star kid hitting the gym to maintain her
perfect figure and today too, she was spotted
coming out of her pilates session. The
Dhadak actress looked radiant and was
glowing as she was seen in her gym wear.
In the pictures, we can see Janhvi
Kapoor wearing black shorts that she
paired with a pink coloured sports bra.
She tied her hair in a single ponytail
and carried an off-white coloured
bag on one shoulder. The actress
completed her look with cream-
coloured flip-flops. The Roohi
actress looked pretty even
without makeup and had a
smile on her face as she
walked towards her car. Be-
fore sitting in her car, she
posed for the paps.

Bollywood. The family of three
recently jetted off to the Mal-

it has just been a few days since they
have been back, Anushka is already
missing the quality time she spent
there with her loved ones. Her
latest Instagram post is proof
of the same. Anushka took to
Instagram and posted a
video showcasing her mo-
ments from the Maldives
vacation. In the video, the
Pari actress could be seen
riding a bicycle where
they stayed. She also
penned a sweet cap-
