UP Chief Minister Yogi
Adityanath’s shock-
and-awe drive against
Mafiosi Mukhtar
Ansari has put the
Congress-ruled Punjab
Government in a tight
spot. Finding itself in a
corner on shielding the
don (Mukhtar is
presently lodged in
Ropar prison in
Punjab), Chief Minister
Amarinder Singh now
apparently wants the
apex court to play the
role of a referee in what
is a win-win situation
for the UP CM,
irrespective of the
court verdict in the
matter.
As the two state
governments slug it
out, the moot question
is why is Mukhtar
evading UP and wants
to remain ensconced in
Punjab? The reason is
not very far to see. In
last three years, the UP
police have taken
stringent action against
land mafias in under
the Yogi Government.
Properties worth Rs 733
crore belonging to
Mafias and their
henchmen have been
attached by the
government.
Respect for martyrs
and no respite for
mafias has become the
buzzword of the UP CM,
who has given clear
instructions on
adopting a zero
tolerance policy against
mafia dons and gang-
sters. Turn to P6

against mafias, this time
againstthosewhoindulge
in fraudulent land deal
and grab government
land,theYogiAdityanath
Government, has come
upwithacustomisedsoft-
ware to thwart their ne-
farious activities.
Known as ‘DHARA’
the software has been
developed by State ex-
perts. It uses ‘geo-fenc-
ing’ and multiple over-
lay method in Web ap-
plication and app for-
mat, that will help pre-
vent duplication and
forgery of revenue and
land records. Equipped
with a tamper-proof
system, the application
will help in putting a
check on dubious and
fraudulent property
transactions which give
rise to unnecessary liti-
gations and court cases.
Data related to all Govt
land, departments’
land, enemy property
and properties of Na-
garpalika will be fed
into this software
Ms Selva Kumari Jayra-
jan, the District Magis-
trate of Muzaffarnagar,
who is instrumental in
developing the “DHA-
RA’ software, said that
the stamp data will also
be put into the mapping
so that any person can
roughlyknowthestamp
duty or circle rate of
the plot he is going to
buy. Government plot
numbers can be viewed
separately by Stamp of-
ficials so wrong bena-
mas can be prevented at
initial stage itself. She
said that the primary
aim is to prevent for-
gery and fraud and ex-
pose the land-mafias
which has also been on
the top agenda of the
government. The soft-
ware will be formally
launched on ‘Makar
Sankranti’ on January
14.
Based on GIS, the
software will, through
Google mapping, in-
clude all the land of
gram samaj, ponds,
grassland, green-belt,
the properties under
litigation etc. After this,
no land mafia would be
able to transact any
land which belongs to
government or is in the
category of green-belt.

ders,theSupremeCourt

the Centre to stay the
laws till a committee
constituted by it dis-
cusses the same and
submits a report.
“Let those farmer un-
ions who say it is pro-
gressive say that before
the committee. But you
have to tell us whether
you stay the farm acts
or we do it. Keep it in
abeyance. What is the
issue?? We are not in fa-
vour of easily staying a
law but we want to say
don’t implement the
law,” the top court said.

pening?” The bench
added that not a single
plea has been filed that
said that the “farm laws
are good.”

CM Yogi Adityanath
has mourned
the death of former
president of UP
BJP Mahila Morcha
Shailtanya Srivastava
and has offered his
condolences to the
bereaved family.
Yogi has asked officials
smoothen “102’ and
‘108’ ambulance services.
He has asked officials to
decentralize their control
and management at
divisional headquarter
level.
The UP CM has
directed officials
to remain alert at the
Integrated Command
and Control Centre set
up to oversee
the corona vaccination
campaign. He said the
vaccination programme
under the able
leadership and guidance
of PM Modi was
scheduled to commence
from January 16. He
urged people to show
the same commitment
and sincerity they did
in effectively fighting
and controlling
the Covid-19 from
spreading in the State.
UP CM recalled the
contribution and
sacrifice of former Prime
Minister, Bharat Ratna
Lal Bahadur Shastri on
his death anniversary
on Monday. He was
a very simple man
with high ideals who
inspired the white and
green revolution in the
country, he said.
First India Bureau
Lucknow: To recall the
valour and honour
martyrs of the Chauri-
Chaura, Uttar Pradesh
Chief Minister Yogi
Adityanath has asked
officials to organise a
series of year-long
events to mark the
centenary year of the
historic incident.
Along with the
beautification of the
Chauri Chaura, the
CM has also issued
instructions to
develop it as a heritage
tourist site.
“From February 4,
2021, to February 4,
2022, daily events
reminding us of the
incident that played a
decisive role in the
freedom movement,
will be organised over
at the monument.
Children too will also
be made aware of the
importance of this
event. Candles and
lamps will be lit at all
monuments of
martyrs and statues
of legendary leaders,”
said a government
official, who has been
asked to oversee the
arrangements. He said
that CM wants the
memorial to be a grand
memorial like the India
Gate, Jallianwala Bagh
or the Cellular Jail of
Andaman.
“TheUPGovernment
hasalreadyspentRs2.17
crore on the
beautification of the
Chauri Chaura Shaheed
Memorial,” he said.
Other memorials
which were similarly
spruced up include
Pandit Ram Prasad
Bismil and the Dohria
Kala Shaheed Memorial
at Gorakhpur jail.
After 60 years of the
Chauri Chaura incident
that shook the British
rule, the then
government thought of
building a memorial.
The foundation stone of
the martyr memorial
was laid on February
6, 1982, but it took 11
years for the
monument to be
i n a u g u r a t e d .
Interestingly, the
formalities of the
inauguration were
completed on July 19,
1993, but the site was
neglected afterward by
the governments. As
soon as CM Yogi came
into power, he took the
initiative to make the
Chaura Chaura
Shaheed Memorial as a
monument of national
pride. The History:
Chauri-Chauraincident
took place on February
4, 1922, at Chauri
Chaura in the
Gorakhpur district of
the then United
Provinces in British
India, when over 3000
protesters participating
in the non-cooperation
movement clashed with
police who opened fire.

t is a well-estab-
lished fact that
America, as it
approaches its
245th birthday,
is a divided nation. Red ver-
sus blue, conservative ver-
sus liberal, right versus left,
blackversuswhite,richver-
sus (a growing number of)
poor, urban versus rural.
Further divisions may be
drawnalongeducation,reli-
gion, class, gender identity,
ethnicity,languageof origin
and other descriptors.
It was all on technicolor
display on January 6, the
day when both the US Sen-
ate and the House of Repre-
sentatives were due to cer-
tify the results of the 2020
presidential election as re-
quiredundertheUSConsti-
tution. The world watched
as Americans, so passion-
atelyalignedwithPresident
Donald Trump and so con-
vinced that the election had
beenstolenfromhim,deter-
mined to disrupt, if not de-
stroy, the most sacred core
of thecountry’s democratic
system, the Congress.
It was a horrifying and
tragic example of democra-
cy run amuck. What took
placeonCapitolHillthatday
was everything the framers
of the Constitution and the
Founding Fathers sought to
prevent. In fact, the rioters’
actions by no definition can
be remotely described as
democratic. They were pur-
posefully dangerous and, as
facts come to light, intended
to inflict violence. It was
mob rule. Insurrection. Re-
bellion. Sedition. It repre-
sented the abandonment of
democracy and descent into
anarchy.
Compared to What?
But before America’s crit-
ics, doubters, adversaries
and enemies pronounce the
country’soritsdemocracy’s
last rites, they may wish to
consult history. They may
wish to reflect on the many
other occasions when the
world’s oldest democracy
turnedawayfromitsconsti-
tution,itsvalues,principles
and its own laws. How does
January 6 then compare?
How does it compare with
morethan250yearsof legal-
ized slavery that only a
bloody, four-year civil war
could end? Or to another 150
years of Jim Crow and seg-
regation? Of course, there
were also the more than 120
unspeakable incidents of
mass violence committed
against the country’s black
citizens, including the Slave
Revolt in the Cherokee Na-
tion of 1842, the New York
Draft Riots of 1863, Tulsa
RaceMassacreof 1921,Rose-
wood Massacre of 1923,
CharlestownChurchMassa-
cre of 2015 and the Black
Lives Matter demonstra-
tions of last summer, on top
of the3,400-pluslynchingsof
black Americans in the pe-
riodaftertheCivilWaruntil
well into the civil rights era.
And would January 6
look more uncivil and un-
constitutional than the sys-
tematic theft of Native
American lands in viola-
tion of all the treaties
signed by them with the US
government and often their
forced removal from those
lands? These date back to
the nation’s independence
and continue to this day.
To add tragic irony to
thosetwosetsof grossinjus-
tice, consider that substan-
tial numbers of black and
Native Americans fought
valiantly to defend the very
countryanddemocracythat
treatedthemassecond-class
citizens and often worse. At
thestartof WorldWarII,the
US government ordered
JapaneseAmericansround-
ed up and confined in in-
ternment camps for the du-
rationof thewar.Theycom-
mitted no crime. They were
given no trial. Yet despite
theviolationof theirconsti-
tutional rights, 33,000 of the
sons, husbands and broth-
ers of those held in the in-
ternment camps volun-
teeredtofightfortheUnited
States in the war, including
18,000 in the famed 442nd
RegimentalCombatTeam,a
highly decorated all-Japa-
nese-American Army unit
led by white officers.
There is also the coun-
try’s long history of denial
of rights to and prejudice
against other ethnic and
religious groups, including
Irish, Germans, Italians,
Jews, Catholics, Chinese,
Vietnamese, Muslims, His-
panics and other people of
color. They learned that
the Constitution and the
Bill of Rights did not al-
ways apply to them. Fur-
thermore, when they may
have belatedly come to be
accepted, restitution has
rarely been offered.

WOMEN PILOTS OF
AI SCRIPT HISTORY
n all-women cockpit crew of four blazed
a train in India’s aviation history when
it flew a Boeing 777 LR non-stop from
San Francisco to Bengaluru covering a
distance of 16,000 km, making it the
longest flight in Air India’s network. Globally, it is
the sixth-longest flight. Headed by Captain Zoya
Aggarwal who has the experience of 8000 flying
hours behind her, the women pilots took the chal-
lenging and demanding North Pole route which
requires special mettle. Others in Capt. Zoya’s
team included Captain Papagiri Thanmai, Captain
Akansha Sonaware, and Captain Shivani Manhas.
Air India celebrated the flight as historic.
The move by Air India to entrust the challeng-
ing inaugural flight to an all-women crew marks
a new beginning for women pilots who are flying
not just commercial flights but also multi-role
fighters and other aircraft in the Indian Air Force
and the Navy. This should encourage more wom-
en to fly high as the percentage of women com-
mercial pilots continues to be low and they are
hired more for ground jobs like air-hostesses and
receptionists. It is estimated that around 5 per-
cent of commercial pilots globally are women. At
12.5 percent they are much better placed than
their global counterparts. All major Indian air-
lines have at least 10 percent of their pilots as
women. Gender equality in India’s aviation in-
dustry has been recognised globally.
It is an irony of sorts that on one side we have
reports of rape and brutal murders of women and
on the other we see them summiting every peak.
Way to go girls!
A
IN-DEPTH
IN THE END IT IS
SC TO THE RESCUE
ound after round of talks between the
Centre and farmers’ unions having
failed to resolve the impasse, the Su-
preme Court of India finally ticked off
both the government and the protesters.
In its strong oral observations a Bench comprising
Chief Justice of India SA Bobde, Justice V. Ra-
masubramanian, and AS Bopanna criticised the
government for its failure to end the agitation
which has been going on since November 26, 2020,
through negotiations. “We are sorry to say that
you, as the Union of India, are not able to solve the
problem. You have made law without enough con-
sultation resulting in a strike. So you have to re-
solve the strike,” Justice Bobde observed. The
court’s mood was reflected in another stinging
observation by the CJI. When the Attorney-Gener-
al requested the Bench not to pass any order in a
hurry, Justice Bobde responded, “We have given
you a very long rope. Don’t lecture us on patience.
We will decide when to pass the order. We might
pass in part today and in part tomorrow.”
To the farmers, the court said, “Whether you
have faith or not, we are the Supreme Court, we
will do our job.”
Whatever the court’s pronouncement, the order
will be a face-saver for the government. It will put
the laws in abeyance on the court’s orders. No loss
of face there as it can bring them back maybe after
Republic Day. Protesters, on the other hand, will
be required to disperse unless they decide to defy
the Apex Court. Converging one more time may
not be easy.
R
n my over six decades-long
life or in my current exper-
tise in the corporate world, I
do not recall any period
worse than the year 2020 for
the financial hardships for
MSMEs pan India. It indeed
saw a humongous number of
entrepreneurs closing down
or losing the will to survive.
Yes, it was one of the most
difficult and unsettling year
for small businesses and em-
ployees alike. The pandemic
forced unplanned business
transformations like com-
pany closures, employee lay-
offs, pay cuts, and work from
home culture. Surprisingly,
these unprecedented impedi-
ments have had a holistic
dampening fallout on em-
ployee mental health, pro-
ductivity, focus, morale, and
work culture.
As a consultant, my interac-
tion with the workforce in var-
ious industries confirms my
the observation that over 55%
of workers believe that per-
haps 2020 was the most stress-
ful time of their entire work
life so far. Therefore, this new
year be taken to re-evaluate
business strategies, processes
and styles of leadership to
achieve desired goals and tar-
gets while working on the well-
being of the team.
Well then, the question
arises, as to how can a leader
keep his team focused and
positive in such tumultuous
times? My take is that a busi-
ness leader has to keep his
employees as his priority
one and help them in every
way, as the expectations of
team members have under-
gone a sea change. So, to
achieve the objective, I as an
industry consultant would
suggest a twofold strategy to
overcome the challenges.
First the foremost is to pri-
oritize employee mental health
and adopt an open Communi-
cation System. The mental
health of employees is the hot-
test topic in pandemic times
and as such employers should
announce the measures adopt-
ed to combat it. For example,
employees are allowed to take
time off, have a counselor to
deal with their problems, ex-
tend the facility of flexible
work hours and educate them
to draw a line between their
personal, family, and profes-
sional lives. Employers should
also refrain from contacting
their employees after work
hours or expecting them to
check official emails and social
media.
Similarly, Communication
remains a key element of a
productive workforce. Al-
though virtual platforms
have replaced age-old chan-
nels of interaction in recent
times, its importance has
not diminished. It is a sol-
emn responsibility upon
seniors to thoughtfully ad-
dress any feedback they re-
ceive to ensure the team
they lead feels heard and
understood.
Secondly, reassure by meet-
ing the expectations and recog-
nition of your employees. As
they all have faced changes
challenges in both their profes-
sional and personal lives and
that needs to be considered.
The transformation em-
ployees have gone through
during almost last one year
has changed and modified
their needs, desires, and mo-
tivators in the year 2021.
Therefore, It is important
for industry leaders to take
the time to speak to each em-
ployee and reestablish what
drives them.
Maybe it’s likely that the
business itself has undergone
changes over the past year of
the pandemic conditions and
with the new work systems and
schedules in place, your em-
ployees may feel overwhelmed
or burned out. Instead of let-
ting these feelings persist and
prevail, managers need to reas-
sure their teams by explaining
the reason behind each change
and explain to them how each
change can work to their ad-
vantage.
Identifying a demotivated
employee isn’t an easy task
either. While some employ-
ees can accept that they feel
overwhelmed, a few others
may just show telltale marks
that are to be deciphered by
the organization. Yet, some
employees who aren’t vocal
about their burn out may be
recognized only through
their actions like shorter at-
tention spans at work, clear
fatigue, erratic behavior, re-
duced engagement, and ab-
senteeism. Procrastination
May well be another impor-
tant factor of burn out
which cannot be ignored. In
such situations an estab-
lished and alert superior can
help them pull back, regain
energy, pace themselves and
then resume work effective-
ly before reaching the all
burnt position.
As a word of advice to cross
sections of MSMEs who are
struggling, failing, and closing
down for lack of business as
traditional methods of opera-
tions have gone out of the win-
dow, my suggestion would be to
set short-term attainable and
realistic goals that your em-
ployees and teams can achieve
quickly and successfully. So, let
us all synergies our eco-sys-
tems to evolve the processes
and procedures that will re-
energize a company’s work cul-
ture and ethos on the format of
‘EMPLOYEE FIRST’ to have
some quick and sustainable
gains in 2021.

the party has always
given importance to
these things,” Nadda
said who was address-
ing a public meeting in
Silchar, Assam. Nadda
arrived in Silchar, As-

said, “The BJP will al-

Assam Movement,”
said Nadda.
“The Bodo crisis was
hanging for nearly 50
decades and the Bru-
Reang crisis, too, was
solved by Prime Minis-

10 states, and poultry
farms, zoos, water bod-
ies will have to be con-
stantly monitored to
control the spread of
the disease.
“Bird flu has been

ported confirmed cases
of bird flu in the coun-
try. Prime Minister
Modi also asked all
states to remain on
alert to contain the
spread of the disease.
“To tackle bird flu, an
action plan has been
prepared by the Animal
Husbandry and Dairy-
ing Husbandry minis-
try, which we need to
follow judiciously. Dis-
trict magistrates will
play a major role in the
fight against the virus.
All those states which
have so far not reported
any cases of bird flu
will have to stay alert,”

rity cover will have no

New Delhi: PM Naren-

upon youngsters to at-
tend ‘Prarambh’, the
Startup India interna-
tional summit on Janu-
ary 15 and 16, saying it
seeks to bring together
top minds from indus-
try, academia, invest-
ment, banking and fi-
nancebesidestheyoung
startup leaders.
He also shared his
LinkedIn post in which
he noted that virtual in-
teractions have become
the new normal during
the pandemic and said a
big advantage of this is
that people can be a part
of programmes sitting
at home. “With most
events being held virtu-
ally, it has given a great
opportunity for young-
sters to be a part of
many interesting do-
mestic global forums.
One such opportunity
is coming up in the
form of Prarambh on
15-16 Jan. I urge our
youth to be a part of it,”
Modi tweeted on Mon-
day. Being indoors for
most of 2020 meant eve-
ryone had to alter their
work styles, the prime
minister noted and said
work from home is in,
so is greater adapting to
technology.
“For me, it meant
more programmes on-
line, which were ex-
tremely productive
insightful. There were
interactions with scien-
tists, medical profes-
sionals, COVID warri-
ors, academics, indus-
try leaders, young inno-
vators, spiritual leaders
and more,” Modi said.
Ranaghat: The coun-

crisis and famine be-
cause of the “adamant”
approach of the BJP to
the continued agitation
by farmers for with-
drawal of the three
new farm laws, West
Bengal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee said
on Monday. She also
called the BJP a “junk”
party for inducting
“rotten” leaders from
other political outfits.
Reaffirming her op-
position to the NRC,
CAA and NPR, Baner-
jee, while reaching out
to the Nadia district’’s
Matua population, said
all refugees will be
granted land rights, and
no one can banish them
from the country. “The
country is staring at a
food crisis. There will
be famine and food
shortage if the BJP con-
tinues to remain ada-
mant on the farm laws.
The Centre is trying to
create famine through
these farm bills. “The
farmers are assets of
our country and we
should not do anything
that goes against their
interest,” she said, ad-
dressing a TMC rally
here in Nadia district.
TMC supremo also
demanded immediate
repeal of the three farm
laws as sought by farm-
ers agitating at Delhi’’s
borders. “We stand by
the farmers and their
demands. On one hand
the BJP is lecturing us
on farmers’’ issues and
on the other it is tortur-
ing the farmers who are
protesting against the
laws. So many farmers
were beaten up in Hary-
ana Punjab,” she said.

COVETED
SYMBOLS
The state election
commission has
finalised the list of poll
symbols for upcoming
three-tier panchayat
polls in Uttar Pradesh.
And a mad rush has
begun among the
aspirants to grab the
one (poll symbol) most
attractive and popular
among the lot. The list
is as assorted as the
background of those
contesting these polls.
But assistant election
officer Dr PS Patel adds
a damper: “There can
only be a maximum of
45 candidates for a Gram
Pradhan seat,” he said.
From the traditional
“Kissan with his plough”
to the modern “aircraft”
these sundry images
are expected to add
colour to an otherwise
lacklustre poll campaign.
Even the ballot papers
have different colour.
Green for Pradhan,
Yellow for ward member
and white for zila
panchayat member etc.
“The most sought after
symbols, however, are
the “Lotus”, “Cycle”
and the “Hand” as they
belong to major political
parties and are easily
familiar and popular
among the voters,” said
a commission official.

ASSESSMENT
OF COVID-19
VACCINE OUT
IN THE OPEN!
It seems that corona
vaccine has already
gained ‘infamy’ in Uttar
Pradesh and people
have started ‘deducing’
their own versions of the
vaccine’s ‘efficacy’. While
some people are claiming
the vaccine to be of good
‘merit’, there are those
too to count its negatives.
However, the fourth and
third class employees
in the state bureaucracy
are claiming that if the
state government has
to taste success in
vaccination drive, then
the ministers and officials
should be at the forefront
of getting vaccinated,
however, till now
politicians, bureaucrats,
businessmen and even
doctors have not come
forward for getting
vaccinated and therefore
those from the poor
and medium classes are
apprehensive about the
same. Some employees
are claiming that they
have heard officers
saying that neither will
they get vaccinated nor
will they get their children
vaccinated and therefore
the ‘vaccine politics’
can hamper the state
government’s drive for
which the government
needs to end the fear of
vaccine from people’s
hearts.

Sydney: Batting out 258
balls with a fierce home
team throwing
everything it had up its
sleeves is no mean feat.
But the Indian duo of
H a n u m a
Vihari and R
A s h w i n
stood ground
and managed to
do just that as they eked
out a draw in what was
nothing short of an
action-packed fifth day
in the third Test
between India and
Australia at the Sydney
Cricket Ground on
Monday.
Batting out 131 overs
-- the most India have
batted in the fourth
innings of a Test since
1980 - showed exactly
what Ashwin meant
when he spoke about
playing like true
warriors at the end of
the fourth day’s play at
the SCG. A hamstring
injurynotwithstanding,
Vihari hit an unbeaten
161-ball 23 while
Ashwin hit 39 off 128
balls as the two
defended away any
hopes Australia had of
registering a win. With
an injured Ravindra
Jadeja waiting in the
pavilion, it was
important for the two to
ensure they saw India
to the end and that is
just what they did as the
players shook hands
with an over left.
But it all started in
the morning when the
team management
decided to send in
Rishabh Pant at the fall
of stand-in skipper
Ajinkya Rahane’s
wicket. With the game
clearly in Australia’s
court, Pant decided to
show why the team has
backed him despite his
inconsistent run.
A fearless brand of
cricket from him
suddenly saw India
walking into the lunch
break with the score on
206/3. With 201 needed
and Pant on a roll, it
suddenly looked like
India was playing to go
2-1 up in the series.
Credit must also be
given to Cheteshwar
Pujara as he kept the
board ticking and didn’t
get into a shell.
But Nathan Lyon
sending Pant back on 97
suddenlysawtheIndian
fans fear another
collapse. But the out-of-
form Vihari wasn’t
letting anybody down
this time round.
He first combined
for a short partnership
with Pujara and then
after the latter’s
dismissal for 77,
combined with Ashwin
to see India home. The
scoresheet might call
this a draw, but both
teams know that India
will walk away with
their heads held high.
Not just that, they will
walk onto The Gabba
high on confidence
after this inspiring
effort.
There was banter,
there was humour and
there were a few ugly
gestures in-between,
but it was all in the
spirit and nothing that
crossed the line in
what was an
adrenaline-filled final
session of the third
Test. -ANI

Lucknow: Two weeks
have passed that IPS of-
ficers were promoted
in bulk but still they
are waiting for new
postings.
The government, it is
said, was in dilemma
due the ongoing agita-
tion of the farmers.
On one hand it has to
tackle the agitation and
on the other it has to
preparefor thepanchay-
at elections, which are
two months away.
In both the situations
theresponsibilitycomes
on experienced and
skilled IPS officers.
IPS officers have
started believing that
their wait for a transfer
could get longer. Be-
cause the farmers were
staying firm on UP- Del-
hi border and it would
notbeprudenttochange
the officers in western
UP. At the same time the
government is of the
view that it would post
such officers who could
conduct panchayat polls
without any hiccups.
The BJP is contesting
the panchayat elections
for the first time.
Officers from.DIG to
ADG level have been
sent to districts as nodal
officers. The govern-
ment has made it clear
that they should help
maintain the law and
order in districts till the
interim order. The farm-
ers were staying put and
unrelenting and in such
a situation these nodal
officers were unlikely to
return for a long period.
Despite promotion, IPS officers await posting

to the Ghazipur Jail.
The bench compris-

The UP government

It has been further ar-

be transferred to UP jail
since a chargesheet has
been filed in UP.
Moreover, no
chargesheet has been
filed in Punjab.
The state has alleged
that Ansari is trying to
“play with the federal

adjourned the petition
of the Uttar Pradesh
government against the
grant of bail of Tanzin
Fatima, the wife of Sa-
majwadi Party leader
Azam Khan, and son
Mohammad Abdullah,
for next week.
The UP government
has challenged the High

approved the bail appli-
cation of Tanzin Fati-
ma and Abdullah Azam
on the charge of fake
birth certificates. She
was ordered to be re-
leased immediately.
The release of Mo-
hammad Azam Khan
was to be made after the
recording of statement
of complainant Akash
Saxena. The Court ex-
pected the complainant
to record the statement
within three months of
the opening of the Ali-
garh court.
This order was deliv-
ered by Justice Sid-
dharth while dismiss-
ing the bail applications
of Dr Tanzin Fatima,

Khan and Mohammad

First India Bureau
Lucknow: The Aam
Aadmi Party (AAP) is
serious about Uttar
Pradesh Assembly elec-
tions 2022 and the up-
coming panchayat elec-
tions in the state.
After the AAP Chief
and current Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind
Kejriwal’s announce-
ment that his party will
contest the UP Assem-
bly elections, it seems
like the work towards
that has already start-
ed and big names of the
AAP are already visit-
ing places in UP and
meeting people for bet-
ter connect.
The AAP has decided
to field 40 MLAs from
the state who are resi-
dents of the state. The
AAP also plans to hold
a mega rally in Uttar
Pradesh soon after Holi
celebrations where it is
expected that the AAP
Chief and Delhi CM
Arvind Kejriwal will
flag off the race to win
seats in the state.
The group of MLAs
who have been fielded
by the AAP are either
residents of Uttar
Pradesh or have politi-
cal support in Uttar
Pradesh. The prime re-
sponsibility of these
MLAs is to leave their
footprint in the state
and also interact with
as many people of the
state as possible.
The prime focus of
the MLAs is not the As-
sembly elections but
the upcoming panchay-
at elections.
With the panchayat
election around the
corner, the MLAs have
began preparing for it
and also they are to se-
lect the strong candi-
dates who can win
seats for each district
panchayats for the pan-
chayat elections to be
held in March this year.
The MLAs are also
determined to put all
their efforts behind
such candidates to
make sure they win.
Some big names like
Naresh Yadav, Akhile-
sh Pati Tripathi, Som-
nath Bharti and Ajesh
Yadav are expected to
play big roles in the
elections to be con-
ducted in Uttar
Pradesh.

YOUR
DAYHoroscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
ndia is considered
as a young nation
even while youth-
fulness is absent all
around. We are ei-
ther a serious soci-
ety in many places
or a highly chaotic and
indisciplined mass of peo-
ple in others. The exuber-
ance of youth is noticeable
by its absence.
And now India has
started ageing also as
more people have started
living longer because of a
relatively better economy
and availability of medi-
cal care. Over the next few
decades, India will be
home to millions of elder-
ly people. It sounds so nice
to know this but is the na-
tion prepared for it? Sen-
ior citizenship comes with
a cost and plenty of liabil-
ities. If a proper plan in
not in place and resources
to implement such a plan,
the life of many elderly
people might turn into a
nightmare.
Indian constitution has
two articles (41 and 47)
which mandate that one of
the primary duties of the
state is to provide public
assistance to elderly citi-
zens and improve public
health. But is the govern-
ment following this consti-
tutional mandate? With a
health budget of less than
2 percent of GDP and lob-
bying by corporate and
private hospitals and diag-
nostics, the government’s
health system has practi-
cally crumbled over the
years. If we look at the
system even with a curso-
ry glance, there appears a
clear agenda to weaken the
public health system fur-
ther so as to make is use-
less and dysfunctional.
Isn’t it time to raise a
strong voice against this
apathy of powers to be?
An ageing population
impacts personal, societal
and cross-generational re-
lationships and demands
more resources than the
young population. Within
the next five years, the In-
dian population is likely
to have around 12 percent
of elderly people which
means around 16 crores in
numbers.
Apparently, it appears
so utopian to have elders
guiding young people and
kids but is it really so? Ex-
cept for a small minority,
the reality is quite alarm-
ing. People who don’t plan
their old age and have no
fat bank balance may suf-
fer significantly. The inci-
dents of the pathetic old
life are everyday stories.
In the most developed
country of the world Ja-
pan, the misuse and mis-
treatment of the elderly
became so prevalent that
government has to inter-
vene and offer incentives
to caregivers so that they
treat elderly people with
dignity and compassion.
But was this governmen-
tal effort successful? Per-
haps, not!
Old age brings vulnera-
bility and dependence.
The capability to earn
money is lost along with
the opportunity, thereby,
making an old person de-
pendent except those with
pensions. It is much more
in women especially if she
survives her husband or is
single and financially de-
pendent. The conflict of
generations is a bitter re-
ality despite strong denial.
Culture and policies tu-
tor young ones to take
care of the physical being
of their elders. But is it
enough? The need for sen-
iors is not only medical.
They need respect, rele-
vance, dignity, money and
psychological support. Re-
member, you need more
money in your old age
than in youth contrary to
common perception. The
hospital bills, a caregiver,
a driver, some home enter-
tainment and domestic
help. In youth you can do
away with most of these
but not in old age. All
these services are costly
for elderly people because
the service industry
knows your need and
helplessness.
Should or would the
government do some-
thing? Experience tells
that dependence on gov-
ernment is futile and may
invite disaster for your
last phase of life. Even if
the government at the top
sanctions some relief, the
corrupt system would
deny, delay or suck away
the benefits.
I strongly believe that
the nation is not prepared
and shall not be prepared
in the foreseeable future.
In my perception, every
thinking person should
plan senior citizenship
during the younger years.
One should start becom-
ing a bit tight-fisted about
money after celebrating
50th birthday and start in-
vesting for old age in the
instruments of saving
which can, possibly, beat
inflation. Health care has
become a giant money
sucker, plan your policies
accordingly as health costs
may skyrocket further if
the public health system is
going to be neglected as it
is today. I wonder why vot-
ers and taxpayers are apa-
thetic to this issue of their
own great interest!
Despite this gloomy pic-
ture, proper life manage-
ment can make old age a
wonderful experience if
planned properly and at
the appropriate time. With
so much experience in life
and profession, old age
can be highly productive
and fulfilling provided
you are capable of some
hard and unconventional
decisions during your
younger years.
To conclude, famous au-
thors like Laura Wilder,
George Elliot, Charles Bu-
kowski, Nirad Choudhary
and many more wrote
their first book during the
late 50s and 60s. Doris
Lessing got her Nobel
Prize after 80 years of age
and was writing till she
breathed her last. And by
the way, I am 65+, work-
ing, playing, running,
dancing and writing.
