TOP TWEETS
How Imran Khan’s populism has divided
Pakistan and put it on a knife’s edge
akistan’s political
crisis has wors-
ened significantly
since Imran Khan
lost a no-confi-
dence motion in parliament
and was ousted from power
last April. Since then, Khan’s
populist rhetoric has stoked
divisions in society, leading to
extreme polarisation and the
violent reactions we’ve seen
this week.
Khan began sowing these
divisions even before he left
office. Before his ouster, he
had blamed Pakistan’s one-
time close ally, the United
States, for conspiring against
his government and trying to
push him from power.
His party, the Pakistan
Tehrik-e-Insaf, has a long his-
tory of labelling its political
opponents as Western slaves,
so this narrative reverberated
among his supporters.
Khan then shifted his anger
towards the army and its then-
chief, General Qamar Bajwa,
claiming they were trying to
bring down his government.
Khan and the military were
once close. Soon after he rose
to power in 2018, many of the
leaders in his party claimed it
was perhaps the first time a
civilian government and the
military establishment were
on the same page in Pakistan.
But the relationship started
to fray over the appointment
of a new head of Inter-Servic-
es Intelligence, Pakistan’s
powerful intelligence agency,
in 2021. Khan wanted the then-
chief of the agency, General
Faiz Hameed, to continue in
the role, while the military
wanted someone else.
Then, last November, Khan
survived an assassination at-
tempt at a political rally in
Punjab province. A day later,
he pointed the finger at three
senior government figures as
being behind the attack – the
new prime minister, the inte-
rior minister and a senior in-
telligence official.
The military establishment
issued a statement accusing
Khan of fabricating the alle-
gations. Khan responded im-
mediately by saying that he
stood by his allegations.
While political violence has
a long history in Pakistan, it
has certainly increased in the
wake of Khan’s populist at-
tacks on the military and other
institutions and the political
polarisation that has ensued.
The new government’s pursuit
of Khan has also sparked an-
ger among his supporters.
After removing Khan’s par-
ty from power last year, the
Pakistan Democratic Alliance
– an alliance of several other
parties, including the Paki-
stan Muslim League (Nawaz)
and Pakistan People’s Party –
formed a government and im-
mediately began targeting
Khan and his party officials in
whatever ways possible.
Khan has faced a flood of
other allegations, however,
ranging from corruption to
sedition. By some counts, he
faces more than 100 cases
around the country
. There are
elements of revenge politics
here because Khan’s govern-
ment had also targeted rival
political leaders through cor-
ruption charges when it was
in power.
The headquarters of Paki-
stan’s army was attacked by a
mob in Rawalpindi, as was the
house of a corps commander
in Lahore. This is unprece-
dented – the army headquar-
ters have only ever been tar-
geted by terrorists before.

P
CHINMAYA GHAREKHAN KEEPS AUDIENCE
ENTHRALLED AT LAUNCH OF HIS BOOK
“CENTRES OF POWER”
The climax of his career was
his working with Indira
Gandhi for five years and
two years with Rajiv
Gandhi. Policy is made in
P.M.O’s office, it is
implemented by concerned
ministries. Gharekhan and
his colleagues made sure
that every single file from
the P.M.O. was dealt
without delay. Gharekhan
got on well with the Prime
Minister. From time to time
both spoke to each other in
French to the discomfiture
of officers and Ministers. He
told me that it was not only
a privilege but an honour to
work with Indira Gandhi
n Friday
, at India International
Centre, was launched Chinmaya
Gharekhan’s book, “Centres of
Power”, published by Rupa. The
Hall was overfull, with our great-
est philosopher Ashish Nandy
sitting in front row.
The panel to discuss the book
consisted of Krishna Rasgotra
former foreign secretary, for-
mer Vice-President Hamid An-
sari, Shyam Saran, President of
the India International Centre
and former foreign secretary
and myself.
The author was the opening
speaker. He had no text. His
speech had the audience en-
thralled. His wit was combined
with substance and humour
laced with anecdotes. This
came as a pleasant surprise to
all present.
Gharekhan joined the Indian
Foreign Service in 1958. Five
years after I did. He turned out
to be among the outstanding
I.F.S officers and more than a
brilliant but low key diplomat.
His first posting took him to
Congo in Africa. At the best of
times the country was no fa-
vourite posting. My own view is
that every I.F.S officers should
have the experience of an Afri-
can country
. I spent three years
in Zambia and look back on my
stay in Lusaka with nostalgia.
Gharekhan was Head of Mis-
sion in Geneva. Permanent
Representative of India at Unit-
ed Nations in New York. It is
posting that is sought by every
I.F.S office and Under Secretary
General of U.N.
I myself spent five years with
the Indian Mission in New
York. It was not a gripping job
but I became familiar with what
was happening in the World. In
those days famous leaders came
to attend the three month an-
nual session of the General As-
sembly. Even junior officials
rubbed shoulders with the
mighty and the powerful.
But the climax of his career
was his working with Indira
Gandhi for five years and two
years with Rajiv Gandhi. While
he was writing, “Centres of
Power”, I kept pestering him to
include the fabulous and high
powered years in the most im-
portant establishment— the
Prime Minister’s Office. Policy
is made in P.M.O’s office, it is
implemented by concerned
ministries. Gharekhan and his
colleagues made sure that every
single file from the P.M.O. was
dealt without delay
.
Gharekhan got on well with
the Prime Minister. From time
to time both spoke to each other
in French to the discomfiture
of officers and Ministers. He
told me that it was not only a
privilege but an honour to work
with Indira Gandhi.
1962 had done India and to
Sino-Indian relations. All that
changed when Deng Xiaoping
told the Indian Prime Minister,
that leave the border aside, de-
velop good neighbourly and
friendly relations in other areas
like trade and tourism, ex-
change of students etc.
From 1988 to 2020 there was
no conflict between the two
countries.
Chinmaya Gharekhan will be
leaving India for good at the end
of this month. He has got rid of
his properties in Delhi and
Baroda. New York will be his
home for rest of his life.

New Delhi (Agen-
cies): The new United
States Ambassador to
India, Eric Garcetti,
has been exploring var-
ious cities and meeting
people since assuming
office this month. He
recently summed up
his trip to Ahmedabad
and Mumbai in a video
that featured famous
personalities including
industrialist Anand
Mahindra, superstar
Shah Rukh Khan, and
cricketer Mithali Raj.
The clip, shared by
Eric Garcetti on Twit-
ter, opens to show the
US Ambassador enjoy-
ing Hindi music while
sitting in a car with Ma-
hindra Group Chair-
man Anand Mahindra.
He then visits the Gate-
way of India in Mum-
bai, attends an IPL
match, and meets Shah
Rukh Khan at the ac-
tor’s bungalow, Mannat.
Taking to Twitter, he
shared a long video clip
with the caption, “This
week, I spent time in the

Ahmedabad and Mum-
bai meeting key stake-
holders, discussing
strategies, and enrich-
ing the longstanding

Dwarka (PTI): Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah on Saturday said
the value of recent drug
seizure off the Kerala
coast was more than the
cumulative value of
narcotics seized during
the ten-year rule of
Congress-led UPA gov-
ernment at the Centre
before the BJP came to
power in 2014. In a jibe
at Congress, he said the
lapses in coastal secu-
rity led to the 26/11
Mumbai terror attack.
Shah made these
comments while laying
the foundation stone
for the permanent cam-
pus of the National
Academy of Coastal Po-
licing (NACP) at Okha
in Gujarat’s Devbhumi
Dwarka district.
“The Indian Navy
andCoastGuardcaught
drugs worth Rs 12,000
crore off the Kerala
coast recently. This is
more than what was
caught in an entire year
in the past. During ten
years of UPA, narcotics
worth Rs 680 crore were
seized. And we have
caught drugs worth Rs
12,000 crore in one in-
stance. It proves that
the security scenario
has improved,” he said.
Nearly 2,500 kg of
methamphetamine
worth around Rs 12,000
crore was seized from
a vessel in Indian wa-
ters along the Kerala
coast in a joint opera-
tion by the Navy and
the Narcotics Control
Bureau (NCB) around
a week back. The Con-
gress-led UPA was in
power when ten terror-
ists attacked Mumbai
on November 26, 2008.
Under the Modi gov-
ernment, a holistic
policy on coastal secu-
rity is being followed
and “enemies” plan-
ning to do similar mis-
adventures will be giv-
en a befitting reply
now, he said.

culation, terming it as
another note bandi to
trouble the people.
Modi has issued an-
other new order. When-
ever he goes to Japan,
he will issue a 'note
bandi' notification and
go. When he went to Ja-
pan last time he had
done a Rs 1,000 note
bandi. This time when
he has gone he has done
Rs 2,000 note bandi,
Kharge said, in a jibe at
the Prime Minister.
He also said, He (PM)
doesn't know whether it
will benefit the country
or cause loss. The 'note
bandi' that Modi has

this time too, he is trou-
bling the people.

people hard once again”. Banerjee lambasted the Centre for
the decision, alleging that such “imperious measures” are
meant to “camouflage the fundamentally anti-people”.

‘INDIA MUST STAY ALERT AGAINST NEIGHBOURS’
Laying the foundation stone for the

India always needs to be on an “alert” mode
against its neighbours. Speaking at the event,
where a Bhoomi Pujan for the Academy
was conducted, Shah said India has 15500
kilometer long land boundary and 7500 kilo-
meter long sea boundary. “We also have got
neighbours, against whom we always need
to be on alert,” he added without naming the
neighbours.“Due to inconsistencies in coast-
al security, our country has suffered many
adverse situations. No Nationalist citizen can
forget the Bombay (bomb) blasts. Because
of a small error, 166 innocent citizens were
killed. The country’s security became a
laughing matter across the world, when the
Mumbai terrorist attacks happened,” Shah
said adding that upcoming academy will train
3000 coastal police personnel a year when
fully operational. He also appreciated the BSF
for setting up the academy on 450 acres.

female feline from Na-
mibia couldn’t be re-
leased as she gave birth
to cubs. The third fe-
male cheetah is not fit
for the release into the
forest,” he said.
Male Namibian chee-
tah Oban, who had
strayed out of the con-
servation area and was
rescued last month
while moving towards

Patna (PTI): The BJP
on Saturday asserted
that the Centre’s ordi-

brought to ensure

Senior BJP leader
Ravi Shankar Prasad
speaking at a press con-
ference here said, the
Supreme Court had cit-
ed absence of any par-
ticular law with regard
to the administration in
Delhi, under Section 2
of Constitution.
“We had to bring in
the ordinance because
within a few days of the
Supreme Court judge-
ment, the Delhi govern-
ment began flexing its
muscles. It transferred
2010 batch IAS officer Y
K Rajashekhar, who
was probing the irregu-
larities in the Sheesh
Mahal,” he said.
“Delhi is the heart of
India. The entire coun-
try has a claim over it as
its capital, which is fre-
quently visited by dig-
nitaries from the world
over. We therefore need-
ed a system in place
which could ensure
transparency and ac-
countability in trans-
fers and postings,”
Prasad said.

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
BY TRIDIB RAMAN
The author is a journalist and political
commentator and views expressed are his personal
The Many strange
decisions remain
imprisoned in the womb of
destiny. Congress leader
Rahul Gandhi also got
caught in the web woven
by the BJP and he had to
leave his official residence
- 12 Tughlaq Lane - where
he was living for the last 19
years, due to an unwanted
decision of the Surat court.
Therefore, he shifted to his
mother’s house at 10 Jan-
path. Rajkumar Sharma,
a well-known astrologer
from Mumbai, has cir-
cumambulated 12 Tughlaq
Lane in the past and has
shared many important
information regarding
Vastudosh there. Accord-
ing to Pandit Sharma, 12
Tughlaq Lane is a south-
facing house, which is not
good and due to which
‘negative energy’ prevails
there. This was the reason
that Congress had to face
defeat for the last several
years. Rahul too lost from
Amethi. Congress seats in
the Lok Sabha decreased
continuously and many
strong leaders of the party
left the Congress and went
elsewhere. At one point,
Rahul’s recognition in the
party itself was reduced
to a great extent. Pandit
Sharma says that ‘the day
Rahul left 12 Tughlaq Lane,
his rise begun.’ Cong wins
Karnataka with thunder and
drumbeat and its prospects
look better in upcoming
5 state assembly Polls.
Pandit ji says that ‘Rahul
Gandhi’s zodiac sign is
Scorpio and the ascendant
is Cancer. From Dec 2022,
Rahul’s ‘Chandra Maha-
dasha’ has started which
will continue till 2032. This
dasha is indicating towards
a positive change. May
the days ahead be bright
and full of hope for RaGa,
his shifting to 10 Janpath
during this period is also
an auspicious one.
Ultimately, Union Law Minister Kiren
Rijiju had to pay the price for his im-
maturity as he has been sent to the Ministry
of Earth Sciences as the top leadership tries
to persuade him to ‘stay grounded’. Just
two qualities of taker Arjun Ram Meghwal
have brought him here, one he is one of the
ministers very close to the top leadership.
And second he speaks and does as
much as he is told. Rijuju’s sudden
departure was scripted when in an
important meeting of the PM, CJI
and LoP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary
was called to select the new CBI
chief. In the initial trends, the re-
quest of the top leadership showed
that ‘why not give an extension to
the current CBI director Subodh
Jaiswal.’ So many ques-
tions have been
raised on the extension of the director’s
service, how can the CBI director be differ-
ent from it?’ Then the name of 1987 batch
Dinkar Gupta, who is currently the NIA
chief, came up. But the CJ was of the clear
opinion that ‘seniority should always be
taken into account’, thus Praveen Sood of
the 1986 batch was the senior-most and
his name was sealed. After this,
there was a mention of mutual
harmony between the judiciary
and the legislature in the top
leadership and CJI during tea.
And when the matter did ‘come
out’, it went far away. The Chief
Justice drew the attention of the
top leadership to the statements
of the Minister of the Govt, where
he has been degrading the
collegium system.
Delhi is going to be far away for the BJP maharathis of Delhi. Important sources related
to the Sangh reveal that in Delhi BJP will replace all its seven winning MPs and new
faces will be fielded. If sources are to be believed, the tickets of Gautam Gambhir from
East Delhi and Hansraj Hans from North West Delhi will be cut. The case of Chandni
Chowk MP Harshvardhan is also said to be in limbo. On the other hand, Manoj Tiwari, MP
from North-East Delhi, can be sent to Bihar to contest the Lok Sabha elections. Delhi BJP
chief Virendra Sachdeva can be fielded in place of Meenakshi Lekhi from New Delhi. West
Delhi MP Pravesh Verma can be fielded from a Jat dominated seat in Haryana or western
UP and Ramesh Vidhuri from South Delhi can also be replaced.
Pradeep Kurulkar, director of the country’s renowned
organization DRDO, has been arrested by the ATS for
sharing important info related to the country’s security
with a Pakistani girl, and the agency is trying to find out
‘how many more girls’ have been used for this ‘honey
trapping’. Kurulkar, 59, was due to retire from his DRDO
job in November this year. If sources to be believed,
it was Kurulkar who used to teach the people of his
dept the tricks to avoid honey trap. Last year, one such
program was organized at the DRDO campus in Pune,
where Kurulkar, as an expert, threw light on ways to avoid
honey traps. When asked what compelled him to share
sensitive info about his country with a stranger for a few
nude photos, Kurulkar said he was a victim of ‘loneliness’.
While Kurulkar and his 4 generations are imbued with
patriotism, he and his family have a very old association
with the Sangh. In a viral video he is seen with his wife
and saying that ‘for the last 14 years he has been playing
the saxophone in various programs of Sangh.’
There were already speculations that Rs 2,000
note would be hit by demonetisation, because
the government’s press had stopped printing these
notes a long time ago, and its circulation was also
limited to large transactions. But as soon as the
results of the Karnataka elections came and the saf-
fron fort collapsed there, the government took this
big decision in a hurry. These notes are to be depos-
ited in banks by 30 September 2023 and just two
months after that, assembly elections are to be held
in five states i.e. Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram. Look carefully,
except one Madhya Pradesh, there are opposition
governments in all the other four states. So, it is
certain that once the Rs 2,000 note is banned, the
fund management of the opposition parties may
collapse, as for the BJP, it has the biggest stock of
‘Electoral Bonds’.
It was known to everyone even before the results of the
K’taka elections that if the Cong govt came to power in
the state, the crown would be on Siddaramaiah’s head.
One, he is the biggest leader of 36% OBC castes of the
state, the Kuruba caste from which he comes, the percent-
age of this caste in the state is also more than 7%. And
perhaps the more important thing is that he is Rahul Gan-
dhi’s first choice as the CM. But there was also a faction of
the Cong which continued to advocate for DK Shivkumar.
This group was headed by Rahul’s favourite KC Venugopal
and Congress’ Karnataka in-charge Randeep Surjewala.
Seeing this, K’taka Cong MLA G Parameshwara came to
the ground with his supporters and started demanding
the post of Deputy CM. Sensing all these circumstances,
the Congress entrusted its observer SK Shinde with the
responsibility to ‘dispose of the matter.’
Due to a mistake of the Congress in the recent civic
polls in Uttar Pradesh, Congress could not make its
mayor in the municipal corporations. In fact, on April 16,
Cong state president Brijlal Khabri gave Form 7A to SS
Upadhyay Bittu along with giving the party symbol for
the election and Bittu got involved in the preparations
for election. Meanwhile, Rajkumar Rawat left the BSP
and joined the Cong. Khabri then asked Bittu to return
the symbol as he now wanted Rawat to be candidate.
But Bittu went to the court, the court upheld his election
symbol, so the Cong had to field Rawat as an independ-
ent. At the same time, Cong got Rawat complete support
from SP and RLD as well. Rawat’s main contest was
against Sunil Bansal’s relative and BJP candidate Vinod
Agarwal. When the results of the election were declared,
the BJP won the election with a record 1,45,720 votes.

hen you are thirsty
, what
is the first thing you
reach for? For many
, it is
a can of soda. If you are
seeking a healthier al-
ternative, you might
soon be swapping your
regular beverage with a soda that
promises to have extra benefits.
Prebiotic and probiotic bever-
ages have recently gained popu-
larity, thanks in part to TikTok
reviews. Indeed, a search for 'pro-
biotic soda' on the social me-
dia site yields 119 million results,
with many people rating popular
gut-health beverages from
brands such as Poppi, Olipop,
and Culture Pop.
These fizzy and sugary
drinks are touted to contain less
sugar than traditional sodas and
are created with components that
are thought to promote a health-
ier gut.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN PROBIOTICS AND
PREBIOTICS?
Simply put, probiotics are live
microorganisms, usually bacte-
ria, that dwell in our gut and help
to keep it balanced and healthy.
Prebiotics are fibres that we can-
not digest. They feed the probiot-
ics, allowing them to grow and
thrive in our gut.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF
HAVING PROBIOTICS AND
PREBIOTICS IN SODA?
Marilia Chamon, qualified nutri-
tional therapist, gut health spe-
cialist, and creator of Gutfulness
Nutrition, is not shocked by the
popularity of prebiotic and pro-
biotic beverages. She attributes
their sudden appeal to several
things.
To begin with, people are be-
coming more aware of the sig-
nificance of gut health. Increas-
ing awareness of gut health and
the role of the gut microbiome in
overall well-being has driven in-
terest in products that claim to
support gut health, Chamon hy-
pothesises.
Second, she claims that the
popularity of these sodas is based
on convenience. As a beverage,
they provide a tasty way to incor-
porate beneficial microbes
and dietary fibers into one's rou-
tine, making them an attractive
option for consumers who want
to improve their gut health with-
out making significant dietary
changes, she explains.
ARE PROBIOTIC AND PREBIOTIC
SODAS GOOD FOR YOUR GUT?
While these drinks are be-
coming more popular as a
healthier alternative to
standard sodas, are they
genuinely healthy for your
gut and overall health? Cha-
mon isn't quite convinced.
Aside from increased fi-
bre intake, I don't see much
benefit to it, she says. If you
eat a Western diet with a high
intake of animal proteins and
saturated fat and little consump-
tion of whole foods, prebiotic
sodas can contribute to your
daily recommended fibre in-
take, she continues. However,
she adds, I would prefer that
people focus on improving their
dietary patterns rather than re-
lying on prebiotic sodas to sup-
port their health goals.
While Chamon feels these so-
das can be a handy and fun meth-
od to add dietary fibre into one's
daily routine, she believes they
should not be used to replace a
diet rich in whole foods, such as:
fruits and vegetables entire
grains
lentils, nuts, and seeds
According to Chamon, the
most important thing to ask is,
What are you taking probiotics
for? Probiotics are strain-de-
pendent, with different strains
providing varying health bene-
fits. Ideally, you should look for
a strain that has been studied
and proven to help with
the specific symptom you want to
address, she says.
DANGERS OF CONSUMING
PROBIOTIC AND PREBIOTIC
DRINKS
According to Karen Reyes, a
board-certified dietitian, drink-
ing these beverages has both
health benefits and poten-
tial health hazards. On the one
hand, she claims they may
boost digestion and immunolog-
ical function by stimulating an-
tibody synthesis. Some studies
even suggest that they may have
beneficial effects on mood and
mental health by promoting the
production of neurotransmit-
ters like serotonin, she contin-
ues.
She also references a 2016 re-
search published in Nutrition
Bulletin, which suggests that
probiotic use may be beneficial
for a variety of health issues,
including gastrointesti-
nal infections and inflammatory
bowel disease. Reyes, on the oth-
er hand, claims that certain so-
das may induce stomach prob-
lems such as:
Chamon has comparable is-
sues with bloating, gas, and diar-
rhoea. Introducing probiotics
can cause gas and bloating, espe-
cially for those with small intes-
tinal bacterial overgrowth
(SIBO), she warns.
The prebiotic fibre used in
these types of sodas is usually
inulin, which is a common cause
of bloating and gas, especially in
people with sensitive digestive
systems or irritable bowel syn-
drome (IBS). Some brands
claim their soda will relieve
bloating, but it may do the oppo-
site, she speculates.
Furthermore, some of these
sodas have a high sugar content,
which can contribute to heart
disease, some malignancies,
type 2 diabetes, and obesity. The
effects of prebiotic and probiotic
drinks are still being studied.
Reyes believes it is critical to
stress that research on probiot-
ics and prebiotics is still in its
early stages and that additional
research is needed to properly
grasp their potential health ad-
vantages.
Meanwhile, if you want to
drink a probiotic or prebiotic
soda, she recommends looking
for brands with natural compo-
nents and no added sugars.
Reyes says there is no clear an-
swer to whether you should
drink them every day because it
depends on a multitude of fac-
tors, including your total diet,
lifestyle, and health goals.
However, both experts believe
that they are generally safe for
most individuals when con-
sumed in moderation.
