CONTAMINATED
COUGH SYRUPS
BRING BAD NAME
n a setback to the image of India and its phar-
maceutical industry the World Health Or-
ganisation (WHO) issued a warning over one
batch of India-made cough syrup after it was found
to be “contaminated” and “unsafe” for consumption.
The Cold Out syrup which was being sold in Iraq is
manufactured by Fourrts (India) Laboratories for
Dablife Pharma. Four months back, in April, WHO
had issued an alert against another India-made cough
syrup sold in Marshall Islands and Micronesia. Ear-
lier, WHO flagged contamination in cough syrups
sold in Cameroon, Gambia and Uzbekistan. In total,
seven India-made cough syrups have been found to
be contaminated.
After the Gambia and Uzbekistan the Union Health
Ministry swung into action to enforce regulatory
checks more strictly. After the deaths of dozens of
children in Gambia and Uzbekistan, the Central
Drugs Standard Control Organisation directed that
laboratories “should give “top priority” to testing
cough syrup meant for export. Obviously, there are
loopholes if a contaminated batch still sneaks out.

APEX COURT ORDER
A HEALING TOUCH
he Supreme Court’s judgment on Manipur
covers every aspect of recent events but what
is of special significance is the formation of
three former women judges to look into the humani-
tarian aspects of the clashes. This is perhaps for the
first time that former women judges of high courts
have been assigned such a noble task. The panel will
be led by Justice (retired) Gita Mittal, former Chief
Justice of the J&K High Court, Justice (retired) Sha-
lini P. Joshi of the Bombay High Court and Justice
(retired) Asha Menon of the Delhi High Court. To-
gether, they are expected to provide a much-needed
healing touch to the
victims of violent
clashes between the
Meiteis and Kukis.
Women judges can
do this job far more
empathetically than
male judges and the
panel, besides other
measures, would go a
long way in restoring
people’s faith in the
rule of law so badly
shatteredbythestate’s
initial indifference.
ABench headed by
Justice DY Chandra-
chud,theChiefJustice
of India, the judicial
panel will look into
relief and rehabilita-
tion of the affected
people who are still
struggling to start a
normal life. The other
confidence-building
measure taken by the
Bench, which also included Justices JB Pardiwala and
Manoj Misra, was to appoint former Mumbai Police

PERSPECT VE 02
Jaipur, Wednesday | August 9, 2023 www.firstindia.co.in firstindia.co.in/epapers/jaipur thefirstindia thefirstindia thefirstindia
mid the de-
bris strewn
across the
roads of
Nuh, several
questions areseeminglybe-
ing stoked and are awaiting
replies galore. What has
surprised all is how the lar-
gescale violence took place
in the area and the subse-
quent and collective role of
the intelligence and the
men in khakee which are
being questioned widely.
It has also raised ques-
tions on what the state
Home Minister Anil Vij
had to say on Sunday.
“Bhai, Nuh ke bare me aab
jo batayenge, mukhy-
amanti ji batayenge… unhi
ke paas sari soochnaye hai.
Mujhe nahin kuchh bhi
pata (Brother, now only
the chief minister will tell
about the Nuh incident. I
have no information).”
Talking to journalists in
Ambala, he went on to say,
“Jo kuchh maine kehna tha
mein keh chuka (I have
said whatever I had to say
(on Nuh)”. If the state
home minister says he has
nothing to say and the CM
will talk in this regard,
what can be deduced…?
Six persons, including
two home guards, were
killed and hundreds were
injured and displaced after
the communal violence that
erupted in Nuh on July 31,
and also spread to nearby
Gurgaon. The violence that
broke out during the Vishva
HinduParishadrallyinHar-
yana’s Nuh was a “100 per
cent intelligence failure,” as
thepolicedidnotapprisethe
organisers about the poten-
tial threat of riots and com-
munal tensions before the
procession,VHPJoint Gen-
eralSecretarySurenderJain
had told CNN-News18 on
Wednesday.
Jain said the VHP had
been in touch with the po-
lice prior to the event. “We
were in touch with the po-
lice and this was not known
to us… it’s a 100 per cent
intelligence failure,” he
said. If the video of murder-
accused Monu Manesar
went viral before the yatra
at Nuh wherein he said that
he would participate in the
religious procession and as
it is being presumed and
also being claimed by the
police that this may have
incited clashes in the area
on Monday, then why
wasn’t internet shut down
ASAP or why the govern-
ment hadn’t issued orders
to yank off the video to pre-
vent it from spreading and
creatingfurtherfissuresand
tremors of fear.
However, police officials
maintained that Manesar
did not visit the yatra… but
the damage was done. If a
peace meet was held in the
area on July 27, in the pres-
enceofpolice,whycouldn’t
the police realise or feel the
ripples coming? Also, one
more important point has to
be considered and this is
after the massive violence
took place, Monu Manesar
was available for a section
of the media for interviews
especially to say that he
was not physically present
during the yatra, but how
come till now the wanted
murder- accused is still not
in police net?
It may be recalled that
some on social media had
also asked him (Monu) not
to turn up. The Rajasthan
and Haryana police are
looking for him for the last
six months — for the al-
leged murders in Ra-
jasthan. Monu has been
absconding since February
after he allegedly killed
Junaid and Nasser for al-
leged cow smuggling.
EPICENTRE OF
CYBERCRIME?
Unfortunately, Nuh in the
last three to four years, has
turned into a hub for the cy-
bercrime fraudsters with all
sortsofcyber-relatedcrimes
ranging from fake work-
from-home job offers to
honey traps with setting up
fake profiles and advertise-
ments on different products
etc being conducted here.
A recent Home Ministry
data says that the Mewat
region comprising Bharat-
purandAlwarinRajasthan,
Mathura district in Uttar
Pradesh and Nuh in Hary-
ana, has even replaced
Jamtara in Jharkhand as
India’s newest hub for cy-
bercriminals.
The National Crime Re-
cords Bureau data showed
that 52,974 cases of cyber-
crimes were registered in
2021, an increase of 11.8%
compared to the previous
year. Nearly 12 per cent of
these crimes were reported
fromNuh.Thedistrict’spo-
lice recently said they had
solved at least 28,000 cases
of cyber fraud across the
country worth `100 crore.
Did a section of the pro-
testors take the advantage
of the violence on that day
to commit this attack on the
Cyber Police Station…? In
that case, the Nuh violence
will attain a new dimension
and a wider perspective.
MINISTER’S QUESTION
TRIGGERS MORE
QUESTIONS
Gurgaon MP and Union
minister of state (inde-
pendent charge) Rao In-
derjit Singh has questioned
why people joining a reli-
gious procession – refer-
ring to the ‘Shobha Yatra’
that passed through Nuh –
were carrying weapons.
Speaking to The Indian
Express,Singhsaid,“Kisne
hathiyar diye unko is pro-
cession mein le jaane ke
liye? Koi talwar leke jata
haiprocessionmein?Lathi-
dande leke jata hai (Who
gave weapons to them for
the procession? Who goes
to a procession carrying
swords, or sticks)?”
“This is wrong.Aprovo-
cation took place from this
side too. I am not saying
there was no provocation
from the other side,” he
continued. Singh also said
thathehadaskedchiefmin-
ister Manohar Lal Khattar
and the Union home minis-
try to send Central forces to
Nuh as the police force was
“insufficient”.
Social media is playing
a role to instigate matters,
Singh alleged. “I have
asked the police to probe
who uploaded such videos.
Someone said there were
videos saying, ‘We are
coming for this religious
function, your daamad
(son-in-law) is coming. If
you can stop, stop it’. If
such irresponsible videos
are uploaded, it causes a
negative impact.”
This is what was dis-
cussed earlier that when
the video was creating
waves, why didn’t the au-
thorities react immediate-
ly.And now when minister
Vij says, “Bhai, Nuh ke
bare me aab jo batayenge,
mukhyamanti ji batay-
enge… unhi ke paas sari
soochnaye hai. Mujhe na-
hin kuchh bhi pata,” we
can realise the sorry state
of affairs.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
BRAND
GURUGRAM
TAKES A
BEATING?
“Gurugram is our gem and
we cannot have this (vio-
lence) happening here. The
incidents going viral world-
wide at a time when we are
proudly hosting G20 events
is not great. It has dented our
image as a corporate hub
or a prospective investment
option. People will be scared
to migrate here or invest and
that will affect the state,”
Gurugram MP and Union
minister Rao Inderjeet
Singh told The Tribune.
To add to the woes…
Haryana’s home (interior)
minister, Anil Vij, had told the
media, “It has been shocking
to see how distrust between
two communities spilled
onto the streets.”Among the
MNCs which are operating
here are Google, American
Express, Dell, Samsung,
Ernst & Young and Deloitte.
Suzuki’s main India plant is
also located near Gurugram.
Following the violence, many
companies asked employees
to work from home.
With the country’s bid to
expand it economy and en-
sure its spirit of Atmanirbhar
Bharat, such sudden wide-
spread violent incidents are
awfully worrying especially
when India has been able to
carve a niche for itself in the
corporate world across devel-
oped nations especially with
its “Make In India” campaign.
NUH:WASTHEVIOLENCE
TIPOFANICEBERG?
INTERESTING ANGLE! Investigative agencies are now
closely monitoring at a targeted attack on the Cyber
Police Station during Monday’s violence, and are
probing if it had any connect with the action against
cybercrime and the ‘Jamtara-style’ frauds in Nuh
by the cops police of late. The cyber police station
has recently gained a lot of importance especially
for its action against several cybercrimes being
operated in the area in the last few months. Cops
are probing if the attack had to do with the police
action against these cyber fraudsters.

Jaipur Discom has bro-
ken record in revenue
collection in the month
of July. Discom MD RN
Kumawat put in meas-
ures that brought the
positive results. Circle
wise 100.69 percent rev-
enue collection was
made in July. This is the
best performance in the
last 10 years.
This is the highest
ever revenue in the first
four months of the finan-
cial year. MD RN Ku-
mawat gave credit to
field officers for the
achievement. He said,
“If field engineers per-
form well, there will be
100% improvement in
the financial and man-
agement position of the
discoms.”
However, in July
2020, 102 percent rev-
enue was collected but
the reason was the ab-
sence of billing for two
months during Covid-19
pandemic.

ha by MoS Home Nityanand Rai in a written response.

DEREK O'BRIEN'S SUSPENSION THAT WASN'T
CONGRESS WILL REGRET THE NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION LATER: RIJIJU
New Delhi: Lok Sabha was briefly disrupted on
Tuesday during a discussion on the no-confidence
motion following opposition members’ loud protest
against tickers running on Sansad TV that highlighted
development works of the government during the live
broadcast of the debate in the House. Soon after BJP
member Nishikant Dubey began speaking against the mo-
tion, several opposition members, including the Congress,
TMC and the DMK, protested over the issue.
New Delhi: Congress leader in Lok Sabha Adhir
Ranjan Chowdhury on Tuesday accused BJP MP
Nishikant Dubey of making baseless allegations
against his party in the House and claimed that expunged
remarks have never been restored before. On Monday,
Dubey had raised in Lok Sabha the issue of a news report
in the New York Times which claimed that web portal
NewsClick has received Rs 38 crore funding and the
money has been used to create an anti-India environment.
“… Between 2005 and 2014, Chinese government has paid
money to Congress …. Congress wants to divide India …,”
the BJP member had alleged, amid opposition uproar.
New Delhi: The Congress and the BJP are divided
over the presence of former Prime Minister Man-
mohan Singh in the Rajya Sabha during the debate
on the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi
(Amendment) Bill, 2023, on Monday. While the opposition
has praised the presence of Singh, the BJP has termed
it “embarrassing”. The Rajya Sabha debated the GNCTD
(Amendment) Bill, commonly called Delhi services bill and
moved by home minister Amit Shah, on Monday for over
six hours till late in the evening before voting took place
on it. Singh, 90, attended the Rajya Sabha and silently
watched the debate while sitting on a wheelchair at the
entrance of the House. Later, he also took part in the voting
process of the bill.
New Delhi: The BJP on Tuesday attacked opposi-
tion parties in and outside Parliament over a leading
US daily’s report of Chinese funding to a news
portal here and alleged that they might have formed their
new alliance at China’s prodding to target India’s security
and unity. BJP member Sudhanshu Trivedi raised the
issue in Rajya Sabha and questioned the Congress for its
alleged links with the portal, noting that a New York Times
report alleged that “NewsClick” received Chinese funding
to spread propaganda against India. Trivedi then targeted
the Congress about its alleged links with the portal, saying
the party supported it when the Enforcement Directorate
conducted raids on its premises over various charges,
including money laundering, in 2021.
New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha saw high drama
involving Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien on
Tues-
day, with the
Chairman an-
nouncing his
suspension
for the rest of
the Monsoon
session and
then letting
him back into
the House
less than
an hour later. Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar said he had
consciously decided not take the sense of House on the
motion to suspend O’Brien. He said if he had completed
the suspension procedure, the TMC MP would not have
managed to return to the Rajya Sabha the same day.
New Delhi: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, while arguing against the no-confidence
motion brought by the Opposition parties in Lok Sabha, said that the Congress will
regret it later. “This no-confidence motion has been brought at a very wrong time
and in a wrong manner. The Congress party will regret it later,” Rijiju said. “Nothing will hap-
pen by naming the alliance I.N.D.I.A when you are actually working against India,” he said
during no-confidence motion debate. The motion was brought to the House by Congress
Party MP Gaurav Gogoi amidst the Opposition’s ongoing protests demanding a statement
on the situation in Manipur from PM Narendra Modi and was accepted by Speaker Om Birla
on July 26. The minister further slammed the previous UPA govt at the Centre for “racial
discrimination and atrocities” faced by the people from Northeast in the national capital.

THAKUR SLAMS RAGHAV CHADHA OVER FRAUD CLAIM ON DELHI SERVICES BILL
New Delhi: Union Minister Anurag
Thakur on Tuesday slammed AAP
leader Raghav Chadha over Union
Home Minister Amit Shah's fraud claim in
connection to the Delhi Services Bill and said
that few political leaders are habitual of lying.
“A few political leaders are habitual of lying.
Perhaps, they forgot that this doesn't work
inside the Parliament. The House functions as
per rules not with ruckus. They may attempt
to mislead the country as much as they want,
but they were exposed in both Lok Sabha and
Rajya Sabha...,” Thakur said. Union Home Min-
ister Amit Shah on Monday in Rajya Sabha al-
leged fraud after five MPs of the Upper House
— S Phangnon Konyak, Narhari Amin and
Sudhanshu Trivedi of BJP, M Thambidurai of
AIADMK and Sasmit Patra of BJD — said that
their name was included without their consent
in a motion moved by Chaddha in the House.

MPNishikant Dubey, on
Tuesday, initiating his
party’s debate on the no-
confidence motion in
Lok Sabha, took a jibe at
Sonia Gandhi and also
hit out at Congress leader
Rahul Gandhi.
“This no-confidence
motionhasbeenbrought.
Why has this been
brought? Sonia ji (Gan-
dhi) is sitting here...I
think she has to do two
things - “Bete (son) ko
set karna hai aur Damad
(son-in-law) ko bhent
karna hai” (She wants to
set his son [Rahul Gan-
dhi] and wants to gift his
son-in-law). ...That is the
base of this motion,”
Dubey said.
Sonia Gandhi was
seen laughing at the BJP
MP’s remark.
THOUGH WE ARE AGAINST BJP, YET CANNOT
SUPPORT NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION: BJD IN LS
New Delhi: As
a debate on the
no-confidence
motion against the
BJP-led government
brought by Opposition
alliance I.N.D.I.A started
on Tuesday, Biju Janata
Dal (BJD) did not support
the motion, saying that
it would be “resound-
ingly defeated”. BJD MP
Pinaki Misra said that
his party cannot support
the no-trust motion as
the Central government
has done many things
for Odisha. “I cannot
support a No-Confidence
Motion against a Central
Government today, even
though we are against
the BJP as a political
party...I am grateful for
the many things that the
Central Government has
done for Odisha which
is why, in any case, I am
unable to persuade my-
self on behalf of my party
and leader to support a
No Confidence Motion
today which has been
brought by the Congress
party,” BJP MP Misra
said in Lok Sabha.

ence on ‘Aspiring for

that supra-mental con-
sciousness has the power
to make this material
worlddivine.Shesaidthat
divinity has a different
meaning and definition
foreachoneofus.Butone
thing is common.The one
that is divine has to be
abovethematerialandbe-
yond the tangible. Divine
mind is a pure mind. It is
above the self. It thinks
about the progress, unity
and development of all.
The President said that
the spiritual awakening
of a mind can transform a
common being into a
conscious being. It is this
awakening that can trans-
form the individuals, or-
ganizations, countries
and the world. When
awakened minds come
together and work to-
wards common goals,
unimaginable results can
be achieved. The Presi-
dent said that the idea of
a Cosmic Being as pro-
pounded by Maharishi
Aurobindo has a great
relevance to the issues
the world is facing.
