Aditi Nagar &
Kartikey Dev Singh
Jaipur: The stage is set
for the biggest battle of
our times effectively
pitching the Centre
against the State. In a
swift ‘stroke’, the Ra-
jasthan Special Opera-
tions Group (SOG), on
Friday, registered two
FIRs against union
minister for Jal Shakti
and Jodhpur MP Gajen-
dra Singh Shekhawat
and two others, for try-
ing to topple the state
government. This de-
velopment is touted to
have far reaching impli-
cations on the politics
of Rajasthan. Moreo-
ver, political observers
are now viewing the
recently conducted IT
raid on few Congress
leaders, as motivated by
the current political
game.
Meanwhile, two FIRs
have been registered by
Congress leader Ma-
hesh Joshi pertaining
to the audio clips on
the alleged con-
spiracy to topple
Rajasthan gov-
ernment. “There
were two com-
plaints from Ma-
hesh Joshi (Con-
gress leader), it
is with respect
to the audio
that went viral yester-
day. We registered 2
FIRs under section 124A
and 120B. The veracity
of clip is to be investi-
gated,” said Ashoke
Rathore, ADG - SOG.
“Sanjay Jain was in-
terrogated yesterday, he
was called today also.
Presently we are trying
to ascertain some facts
from him,” the police of-
ficial added. Jain was
subjected to interroga-
tion on Friday after
which the SOG arrested
the man. Rathore
said it would not
be appropriate to
comment until
it is established
in the investiga-
tion that the al-
leged names that
have surfaced in
the complaint
and audio clips are
those the real per-
sons. He also said SOG
is also going to move
court for permission to
hold voice spectrogra-
phy tests to match the
voice samples.
Earlier in the morn-
ing, the Congress ac-
cused Union Cabinet
minister Gajendra Sin-
gh Shekhawat and Con-
gress legislator Bhan-
warlal Sharma of con-
spiring to topple the
elected government in

Modi calls for reform in global
multilateral system, UN
New Delhi: Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi on Friday made a
strong pitch for reform-
ing the global multilat-
eral system to enhance
its relevance, improve
its effectiveness and to
make it the basis of a
new type of human-
centric globalisation
while noting that India
firmly believes that the
path to achieving sus-
tainable peace and
prosperity is through
multilateralism.
Addressing ECOSOC
(United Nations Eco-
nomic and Social Coun-
cil) commemoration of
UN’s 75th anniversary,
he said multilateralism
needs to represent the
reality of the contempo-
rary world as only re-
formed multilateralism
with a reformed United
Nations at its centre can
meet the aspirations of
humanity.
“India firmly believes
that the path to achiev-
ing sustainable peace
and prosperity is
through multilateral-
ism. As children of
planet Earth, we must
join hands to address
our common challenges
and achieve our com-
mon goals. However,
multilateralism needs
to represent the reality
of the contemporary
world. Only reformed
multilateralism with a
reformed United Na-
tions at its centre can
meet the aspirations of
humanity,” PM said.
“Today, while cele-
brating 75 years of the
United Nations, let us
pledge to reform the
global multilateral sys-
tem. To enhance its rel-
evance, to improve its
effectiveness, and to
make it the basis of a
new type of human-cen-
tric globalisation,” the
PM said.

First India Bureau
Bharatpur: On Friday,
in a village in the Ka-
man police station area,
some people did an ob-
scene act with a minor
and made a video from
mobile, which went vi-
ral. After the incident,
the police came into ac-
tion and started search-
ing for the accused. At
the same time, the com-
plaint letter of the vic-
tim’s father against 6
accused from the vil-
lage for gang-raping his
minor daughter is also
going viral.
The victim had gone
to get soil near the jun-
gle,fromwhere4known
and 2 unknown boys ab-
ducted her on gunpoint.
The accused took the
girl to a nearby hill,
harassed her, and then
gang-raped her while
making a video. They
also threatened the girl
of leaking the obscene
video if she dares to tell
anyone about the inci-
dent. The accused in the
case have been identi-
fied and their names
are Sekh Ali, Tareef,
Ajji, Rasid, and two un-
knowns.
In the complaint, it
was mentioned that the
victim was gang-raped
by all the accused one
by one and threatened
to kill the girl and her
parents if she informs
about the incident to
her family.
Kaman DSP Pradeep
Yadav informed that
considering the seri-
ousness of the matter,
several teams were
formed by the police
with immediate effect
to investigate the mat-
ter and search for the
accused after the video
went viral in the area.

Cong allegations against
Shekhawat false: PooniaJaipur: The Rajasthan
BJP on Friday accused
the Congress of drag-
ging it its internal fight
between groups of two
leaders in the state.
BJP state president
Satish Poonia also hit
out at Congress chief
spokesperson Randeep
Surjewala, saying he
levelled false allega-
tions against Union
Minister Gajendra Sin-
gh Shekhawat to de-
fame him.
“Surjewala is giving
statements as if he is
the DG of the SOG. Con-
gress party and its gov-
ernment are conspiring
to defame the BJP and
dragging it in its inter-
nal fight between two
leaders,” Poonia told
reporters here at a
press conference. He
also asserted that San-
jay Jain, whose name
surfaced in audio re-
cordings related to the
alleged horse-trading
of legislators, has no
connection with BJP.
Surjewala had
dubbed Jain as a BJP
leader but he is actually
a Congress block presi-
dent of Lunkaransar of
Bikaner district, said
Poonia. He said the
Congress advocates the
abrogation of Indian
Penal Code section 124-
A relating to the offence
of sedition but CM
Ashok Gehlot is using
the same section
against his own party
leaders due to the fear
of losing his chair.
Leader of Opposition
Gulab Chand Kataria
also echoed Poonia’s
views saying it is a certi-
fied fact that it is an in-
ternal fight within the
Congress and the BJP is
being dragged into it. He
pointed out that audio
recordings are not au-
thentic evidence and
even the courts do not
accept them.
“Phone taping cannot
be done without prior
approvalfromtheHome
Department. It would
have been better if the
Congress had verified
the facts before naming
Union Minister Gajen-
dra Singh Shekhawat,”
he added.

position Rajendra

gress government in

Dr Singh added that
as a fake VIP, he used to

Chief Secretary, Collec-
tor, and SP, and sought
to send escorts. A simi-
lar e-mail came to his
office as well and CO
City Satish Verma and
the Sewar SHO were as-
signed special respon-
sibility for its investi-
gation. When Gurjar
was caught near Vijay

lowed to enter the premises. The
legislators also enjoyed a fun-filled
cooking session later on Friday
where they tried their hands at vari-
ous mouth-watering dishes with
the help of Hotel’s Executive Chef.
Apart from honing their culinary
skills, the MLAs had a ball of a time
watching the timeless classic of

Consider cases of everyone equally:
Adv Bhandari urges CJ Mahanty
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Advocate
Poonam Chand
Bhandari has written
a letter to Chief Jus-
tice of the Rajasthan
High Court Indrajit
Mahanty regarding
holding the hearings
of VIPs and powerful
people only. In the let-
ter, the advocate has
said that CJ has given
the orders of courts
being closed till July
19 and the hearings of
the cases are not be-
ing held.
A lot of people are
in jail and their bail
pleas are pending,
while people are go-
ing to jail in the ab-
sence of hearing on
interim bail applica-
tions. The common
people are losing trust
in justice and it is be-
coming difficult for
the advocates to make
their clients under-
stand.
On the other hand,
the matters of rich,
VIPs, and powerful
people are being
heard regularly dur-
ing this period.
For the hearing of
the case related to the
Reliance industry, a
special bench was set
up and orders were
passed to organize the
hearing on July 15.
Similarly, a single
bench was constituted
on Friday for hearing
the writ petition of
the MLAs and the
hearing was sched-
uled for 7.40 PM.
Whereas, the hearing
of matters concerning
the common people
will be held till 4 pm
only from July 20.
If the court is closed
due to the corona situ-
ation, then why are
the hearings involv-
ing powerful person-
alities being held.
Does that mean the
virus would not
spread during the
hearing of some se-
lected people and it
would spread through
the hearing of the gen-
eral public? I request
to consider the cases
of everyone equally
and carry out the
hearings accordingly.

Meena has asked
Sachin Pilot to join BJP.
“The Meena commu-
nity will support you
and together we can
eliminate Congress
from Eastern Ra-
jasthan,” he assured
Pilot while speaking to
media.
It seemed that Sachin
did not want to join
BJP but going back to
Congress would be at
the cost of self-respect.
“Both of us are sons of
farmers. I invite him to
join BJP. He is young
and energetic and to-
gether we can clean
sweep east Rajasthan,”
Dr Meena said.
He reminded Sachin
that when his father
Rajesh Pilot’s political
career was dwindling
he helped him twice. “I
supported Sachin and
Vasundhara as well.
Now Sachin is in trou-
ble, I am inviting him
in the BJP with full
confidence,” he said.
Dr Meena did not
agree with Sachin’s
plan of third front. He
said that he too had
formed third front but
failed. In the larger in-
terest of the state Mee-
na community and BJP
workers are ready to
help Sachin.
“We supported his
father Rajesh Pilot
twice but Gurjars did
not help me when re-
quired. We supported
Gehlot but Mali com-
munity also did not
help us,” he rued.
When asked about
Col Bhainsla joining

alternative, Dr Meena
said that Bhainsla
was a big leader, it is
up to him.

Jaipur: SMS hospital
doctors conducted an-
other complicated op-
eration to save a life.
One year old Hemant
from Fatehpur Sikri
near Agar in Uttar
Pradesh was saved by
SMS doctors who suc-
cessfully operated him
for “Supra-Cardiac To-
tal Anomalous Pulmo-
nary Venous Connec-
tion” (TAPVC).
Doctors said that He-
mant weighed 5kg and
he had been referred to
the SMS hospital for
respiratory problem
but during the investi-
gation they found that
he had been suffering
from TAPVC from the
time of his birth.
Head of the depart-
ment of CTVS Dr Anil
Sharma informed that
this is a rare disease
found in one or two chil-
dren per 1000. If no
treated on time, there is
a risk of death.
The operation was
performed by Dr Anil
Sharma and his team
including Dr Sunil dix-
it, Dr Mohit Sharma, Dr
K K Mahawar, Dr Rima
and Dr Anjum.
In TAPVC the blood
does not take the nor-
mal route from the
lungs to the heart and
out to the body. Instead,
the veins from the lungs
attached to the heart
are in abnormal posi-
tions and this means
that oxygenated blood
enters or leaks into the
wrong chamber.

Baran: On Friday, two men at-
tempted to kidnap a 14-year-old boy
from Musai Gujran village in the
Kavai police sta-
tion area of
Baran district.
The accused are
said to be sales-
men, who came
on a motorcycle to the village to
sell their products. In course of
this they tried to abduct the victim
from the village and flee from the
spot.
However, the kid was vigilant
and jumped from the motorbike to
save himself. When the locals
came to know about the incident,
they caught the accused. The po-
lice were also given details about
the whole episode.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Sanjay Jain
alias Sanjay Baradiya’s
name prominently fea-
tures in the raging po-
litical audio tapes con-
cerning horse trading
in the state. He is being
interrogated by SOG.
Sanjay hails from
Lunkaransar and had
shifted his base to
Jaipur around two dec-
ades ago. He is said to
have been involved in
the political circles
since then. Some people
say that Baradiya is
into hotel business in
partnership and there-
fore he has been in
touch with many IPS
and IAS officers for
quite some time now.
While some say that he
has stakes in marble
business.
He also has relations
with a big business fam-
ily in Jaipur which
apart from professing
many businesses also is
active in the political
and religious circuit.
Meanwhile his family
members deny his in-
volvement with any
business.
According to some
people Baradiya very
often gets political ad-
vertisements published
in newspapers in con-
sortium with political
leaders. The most inter-
esting point in the
whole affair is that San-
jay Baradiya alias San-
jay Jain is the only ‘Out
of the Mainstream guy’
involved in the horse
trading scandal. All the
rest of the voices in the
audio tapes are said to
be of renowned politi-
cal persons.

The builder kept
charging about Rs 1.5
lakh as monthly rent.
Moreover, Harish in-

an a thought be empowered
with one’s energy, to make it
manifest into reality?
Sadhguru: Whatever people
aspire for in their life – wheth-
er it is to grow a business, build
a house or whatever else – the
thought: “I want this” arises.
Once this thought happens, for
most people, they focus their
energy towards that something
through action and start work-
ing towards it. If their action is
incisive enough, their thought
becomes a reality. That is the
usual way people function in
the world. But they do not know
how to infuse or empower that
thought with a certain dimen-
sion of energy.
However, if you have some
mobility in your energy be-
yond the physical body, if the
mobility becomes a conscious
process, you can sit in one
place and make your energies
go somewhere else. However, if
you do this without gaining
sufficient mastery over your
own life energies, you may not
know how to pull the energies
back into you. You can lose
your life like this. You will see,
if someone’s desire is beyond a
certain pitch, they always die
young. Most people’s desires
are fickle. They desire some-
thing today, something else to-
morrow – it keeps changing.
But if someone desires very
powerfully towards something,
they die young whether that
something happens or not. Es-
pecially if that something hap-
pens, they die young because
they know how to throw their
life energies out, but do not
have enough mastery to do the
work and come back.
A SINGLE-POINTED
MIND IS POWERFUL
Thought itself is a reverbera-
tion and an energy. You cannot
generate a thought without en-
ergy. It is just that because it is
happening in such a haphazard
way, maybe it does not have the
necessary energy to manifest
itself. You can generate so
muchenergywithyourthought
process that you could kill
someone. When your mind is
single-pointed, it is a powerful
instrument. Unfortunately,
most of the time this single-
pointedness happens to people
in a negative way, not in a posi-
tive way. An angry mind and
also a lustful mind are very
single-pointed minds. That is
why in Indian culture, children
are always warned, “When you
are angry, do not say anything
negative about somebody,” be-
cause if your mind has become
single-pointed with anger, it
can easily manifest itself.
Let us look at the process of
generating a thought. Is your
thought conscious or is it just
an outcome of a million things
that have already gotten into
you? When your thought pro-
cess is unconscious, most of
the time it is like mental diar-
rhea. There is no control over
it. It simply rambles because
there is old stuff inside. This is
just like the more bad food you
have in your stomach, the more
your diarrhea goes on. When
you have mental diarrhea, you
cannot call it a thought.
A woman once invited a few
friends for dinner. She served
dinner and then told her 6-year-
old daughter, “Why don’t you
say the blessing?” She wanted
to show off her daughter a little
bit. The daughter said, “I don’t
know how to say a blessing.”
The mother said, “Just repeat
what mummy says.” So the girl
very religiously bent her head,
held her hands together and
said, “Why on earth did I invite
all these people for dinner.”
These things are happening to
you, isn’t it? You want to medi-
tate, isn’t your mind talking so
many things?
CLEARING YOUR SLATE
If you want to write on a black-
board, first you have to wipe it
clean. Only then will you be
able to write clearly. If a mil-
lion things have already been
written on it and you write
something else on that, no one
can figure out what you have
written. And after sometime
neither will you. You have to
first clear the space and then
generate a thought consciously.
If people have cleared their
space and then have a thought,
this thought really matters be-
cause this has come out of a
conscious process. Once this
thought is on like this and it is
held in that clarity, infusing en-
ergy to it can be done.
If you just generate a thought
in your mind consciously and
if it is single pointed, it will
find its way in the world. It will
manifest itself naturally. And
if you have little more control
over your life energies, you can
tweak it further.

IN-DEPTH
ANTI-DEFECTION
LAW IS BACK
IN SPOTLIGHT
s an intense court battle ensued in
the Rajasthan High Court on Fri-
day after Sachin Pilot challenged
the Speaker CP Joshi’s disqualifi-
cation notice to him and 18 other
legislators, the Tenth Schedule of the Indian
Constitution was brought into focus. The leg-
islation, also known as Anti-Defection Law,
was enacted to address the problem of insta-
bility caused to democratically-elected gov-
ernments by legislators shifting loyalties
from the parties of which they are elected
members. The Speaker’s notice to Pilot, the
sacked deputy chief minister, and other dis-
sidents was issued on the basis of a complaint
by the ruling Congress party. Joshi gave them
time till Friday to reply to the notice but Pilot
went to the High Court.
Justifying his action, the Speaker told the
court through senior advocate Abhishek
Manu Singhvi that the petition questioning
the Tenth Schedule should not be entertained
as it may render related judgments of the Su-
preme Court useless. Singhvi also argued
that his client was within his remit while tak-
ing into consideration dissidents’ speeches
and activities even outside the House. In that
respect, it was within the Constitution.
Arguing against the Speaker’s order sen-
ior counsel Harish Salve said that the Tenth
Schedule won’t apply in the present context.
“If it is an act outside the assembly, it will
not come in the Tenth Schedule. If there is
a difference of opinion with the CM or you
speak against him, then he will not fall in
the category of disqualification,” Salve said.
He argued that the party whip is applicable
only when the assembly is in session and
that the whip won’t apply on “meetings in
homes and hotels”.
As the hearing will now resume on Mon-
day, the legal issue raised promises that the
battle will now be a long drawn one.
Meanwhile what the Jaipur political dra-
ma, like the one which played out in Madhya
Pradesh a few months ago, has exposed is
the Congress Party’s central leadership’s in-
ability to act decisively. It is the problem of
indecision or procrastination which forced
Jyotiraditya Scindia to say good-bye to the
party of which his father Madhavrao Scin-
dia was an important part. In the case of
Sachin Pilot also the central leadership sat
quietly and watched till a breaking point
was reached.
Another issue facing the leadership is its
inability to strike a balance between the
young and the old leaders. Managing the am-
bitions of the experienced senior leaders and
relatively less experienced young Turks is a
tough call. So far it has failed to strike the
critical balance in the party and seem to fa-
vour one side instead of trying out a mix of
the two. This quandary is threatening the
grand old party’s very existence. Madhya
Pradesh has been snatched by the BJP. Now
a desperate fight is on to save Rajasthan also
from falling into BJP’s net.
A
hose who
thought that a
p a n d e m i c
would make
everyone real-
ize the crucial role of care
workers should think
again. With the coronavi-
rus still spreading rapid-
ly, frontline workers are
more essential – and at
greater risk – than ever,
yet public attention has
shifted elsewhere.
Worse, as economies col-
lapse and labor-market
conditions deteriorate, em-
ployers in the private and
public sector alike have
grown more cynical in
their treatment of essen-
tial workers. Far from in-
stilling a deeper apprecia-
tion for their employees,
the pandemic-induced
surge in unemployment
has enabled employers to
exploit workers even more.
Capitalism has always
had an uneasy relation-
ship with care work. Al-
though capitalist pro-
duction relies heavily on
unpaid and underpaid
labor performed by
women, migrants, and
other disadvantaged so-
cial groups, it has his-
torically pushed that
work off the books and
underground, into infor-
mality. As a result, all
the varied tasks associ-
ated with social repro-
duction are barely rec-
ognized, much less re-
warded or remunerated.
Because so much care
work is performed for
free by women and girls
within families and com-
munities, it is simply
taken for granted and,
because it is outside the
market, not counted as
economic activity.
Unpaid work performed
by women who have no
other choice thus creates a
vicious cycle of devalua-
tion. When women do en-
ter labor markets, their
wages tend to be lower
than those of men, not only
because they are willing to
work for less, but also be-
cause so much of their
work is available for free.
Hence, occupations domi-
nated by women – such as
in the care sector – tend to
be lower paid; even men do-
ing similar work suffer a
wage penalty.
In the case of health
care, there are addition-
al occupational hierar-
chies to navigate, from
highly paid “profession-
als” like specialist physi-
cians down to nurses,
ward attendants, and
cleaners. Unsurprising-
ly, the gender balance
within each occupation
changes as one goes
down the pecking order,
with women concentrat-
ed in the lower-status,
worst-paid positions.
Globally, women hold
70% of all health-care jobs.
But they are more likely to
be nurses, midwives, and
community health work-
ers, while men comprise a
disproportionate share of
better-paid occupations
like surgeons, physicians,
dentists, and pharmacists.
Community health work-
ers are perhaps the most
exploited of all health
workers, especially in de-
veloping countries. Often,
they are not recognized as
workers at all, but rather
as “volunteers” (as is true
in India). As such, they
rarely benefit from formal
contracts that provide job
security and a fair wage,
let alone protections like
health care.
Women health-care
workers are also more at
risk in the current pan-
demic, because they are
more likely to be in-
volved in activities that
require close physical
contact with patients.
The public acclaim has
not translated into better
working conditions or
higher wages, and certain-
ly not systematic efforts to
ensure their physical safe-
ty during the pandemic.

& free & fair election.
“People also expect the

New Delhi: Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi on
Friday, targeted the cen-
tralgovernmentoverthe
India-China stand-off,
stating since 2014 Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi’s “constant blun-
ders and indiscretions”
have fundamentally
weakened the country.
He also posted a few
minutes long video and
asked, “What is it about
India’s situation that
has made China act in
such an aggressive
way? What is it about
this moment in time
that allowed China to
take such an aggressive
stand against a country
like India?”
“Since 2014, the PM’s
constant blunders and
indiscretions have fun-
damentally weakened
India and left us vulner-
able. Empty words don’t
suffice in the world of
geopolitics,” the Gan-
dhi scion tweeted.
In the video clip, the
Congress leader said in
the last six years, India
was “disturbed” and
“disrupted” because it
failed in various areas
such as protecting the
economy, foreign rela-
tions and added that
these situations had
“made China act in such
an aggressive way.”
“One has to go in mul-
tiple spaces to under-
stand this. Countries
are not protected by not
one particular thing but
by the confluence of
forces, the confluence of
systems. So a country is
protected by its foreign
relationships, it is pro-
tected by its neighbour-
hood, it is protected by
its economy. It is pro-
tected by the feelings
that people have. The vi-
sion that its people have.
In the last six years, in
all these areas India has
been disturbed and
disrupted.”Talking
about the Centre’s for-
eign policies, Gandhi
stated that the country
has strategic partner-
ships with the United
States and Russia,
which have now become
transactional relations.
“Earlier, India could
maneuver in geopoli-
tics with the help of
these relations but now
India doesn’t enjoy
these partnerships any
more,” Gandhi said
He spoke on India’s
current relations with
its neighbouring coun-
try and said the govern-
ment has managed to
anger Nepal, Bhutan
andevenSriLanka,who
used to be friends with
our country earlier.
“We have said on mul-
tiple occasions that the
economy needs major
boosts from the govern-
ment. We have said fire

New Delhi: Roshni Na-
dar Malhotra, India’s
wealthiest woman, is
now the chairperson of
HCL Technologies, the
Noida-based IT compa-
ny said on Friday. The
38-year-old succeeds her
father, Shiv Nadar. The
appointment of non-ex-
ecutive director Roshni
Nadar Malhotra to the
new role takes effect im-
mediately, the company
said. Shiv Nadar will
continue to be HCL
Tech’s MD, with the des-
ignation as the chief

and raised in New Delhi,
Roshni studied in Vas-
ant Valley School, and
graduated from the
Northwestern Univer-
sity in Illinois, USA. She
has a Master’s degree in
Business Administra-
tion from Kellogg School
of Management, North-
western University.
One has to go in multiple spaces to
understand this. Countries are not
protected by not one particular
thing but by the confluence of forc-
es, the confluence of systems. So a
country is protected by its foreign
relationships, it is protected by its
neighbourhood, it is protected by
its economy. It is protected by the
feelings that people have. The vi-
sion that its people have. In the last
six years, in all these areas India
has been disturbed and disrupted.

the party led LDF gov-

New Delhi: With the
total number of corona-
virus cases breaching
the 1 million-mark, In-
dia, now becomes the
third country to cross
that mark, trailing be-
hind the US and Brazil
now, which have 3.6
million and 2 million
infections respectively,
s per the data compiled
by Johns Hopkins Uni-

As India’s coronavi-
rus cases exceed 1 mil-

contain the pandemic
rests on two indigenous
vaccine candidates that
will enter human trials
this month.

34,956 fresh infections
in past 24 hours, accord-

687 in past 24 hours.
India has seen 25,602
deaths so far due to the
novel coronavirus, ac-
cording to the health
ministry.
Meanwhile, Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi
today urged the govern-
ment to take concrete
steps to prevent the
spread of coronavirus,
saying if it keeps
spreading at the cur-
rent pace then there
will be more than 20
lakh cases by August 10.
“10,00,000-mark has
been crossed. If COV-
ID19 spreads at this
pace, by August 10,
more than 20,00,000 will
be infected in the coun-

Congresshassuspended
Sharma and another
MLA Vishvendra Singh
from the primary mem-
bership of the party for
their alleged involve-
ment in horse-trading
of MLAs and demanded
registration of a case
against them. BJP also
initiated its ‘counter-
measures’ to bring the
Congress on backfoot as
on Friday night, BJP
leaders from Jaipur,
Laxmikant Bhardwaj,
Ashok Singh Shekha-
wat, Surendra Singh
Naruka & others,
reached Ashok Nagar
PS to file FIR against
Randeep Surjewala, Go-

denly jumped to action

“This game had to hap-
pen on the death anni-

pletely different. He got

Speaker postpones...
The counsel agreed to
extend this to 5.30 pm on
Tuesday as the court
was yet to give an order
on the petition.
Harish Salve and
Mukul Rohatgi argued
for the petitioners via
video conference while
Abhishek Manu Singh-
vi was among those who
argued on behalf of the
Speaker. During the
hearing, the court was
ordered to be vacated by
everyone other than the
lawyers pertaining to
the case, followeing
which Salve presented
his argument for nearly
three hours, followed by
Mukul Rohatgi. Salve
claimed that by looking
at the notice it appears
that the Assembly
Speaker has been par-
tial. The senior counsel
questioned as to how
can a notice be given for
not appearing in a party
meeting and that it is
against the right to
speech ensured by the
Constitution.
Meanwhile, Mukul
Rohatgi claimed that
the action was againt
rules and minimum
seven days’ time should
have been given to re-
spond. He also high-
lighted that BJP MLA
Madan Dilawar had
given an application on
BSP MLAs to the Speak-
er long back, but till
now no action has been
taken, moreover, in this
matter a notice was is-
sued within a few hours.
He further said that Pi-
lot camp has raised its
voice within the party
structure and have not
rebelled, therefore they
can not be termed ineli-
gible.
Representing CP
Joshi, Abhishek Manu
Singhvi said that Speak-
er was right in issuing
notices since the MLAs
gave statements against
party lines and did not
follow the party whip.
He stressed that the ap-
plication is filed prema-
turely and on possibili-
ties, therefore, till the
time Assembly Speak-
er’s decision is not pro-
nounced, the MLAs can
not turn to the court for
any relief.
Speaker’s powers are
autonomous and he has
issued show-cause no-
tices. The judiciary
should not interfere till
the order on the notices
is passed. The petition
had challenged the no-
tices based on a Con-
gress complaint that the
MLAs should be dis-
qualified from the Ra-
jasthan Assembly for
defying a party whip.
Bench also asked Ma-
hesh Joshi, who had
filed the complaint be-
fore the Speaker, to re-
spond to the dissidents’
petition by Saturday.
Joshi’s petition was im-
pleaded on Friday.

Jaipur: The voice
for dismissing the
Mukundra Advisory
Committee is rising
yet again, after one
of its member
Tapeshwar Singh
Bhati was found
flouting all rules &
regulations of safari
of Mukundra Hills
Tiger Reserve.
Tapeshwar Singh,
despitebeingthemem-
ber of the advisory
committee of the pro-
ject, did not bother to
either wear a safety
jacket or take any safe-
tyequipmentwhilego-
ing on a safari of core
Jawahar Sagar.
As per guidelines, it
is restricted to get
down anywhere dur-
ing the safari of this
area, yet Tapeshwar
Singh not just got
down on the Titanic
island in the upstream
area but also got him-
self photographed.
To make matters
worse, the advisory
committee member
was accompanied by
other people also. It is
worth recalling that
recently during the
lockdown period some
photos of night safari
of Jawahar Sagar,
which is the core area
of Mukundra Hills
area, surfaced on so-
cial media, which is
currently being inves-
tigated by the Mukun-
dra DCFT Mohan Raj.
A key suspect in the
case is Banwari Yadu-
vanshi, who has the
contractof boating,al-
lotted by the forest de-
partment, in the area.
Accordingtothevil-
lagers, a Gypsy that
might belong to Yadu-
vanshi, was also used
during the night safa-
ri. The case becomes
morestarkandserious
astheMuKundraHills
Tiger is not open for
tourism as of now. So
this becomes a grave
issue as the night sa-
fari could not happen
without some staff be-
ing involved in it.
Itisnoteworthythat
Banwari Yaduvanshi
owes Rs 24 lakh to UIT
Kota in lieu of the ten-
der for Kishore Sagar.
Kota UIT had confis-
cated the boats of Ban-
wari in the same case.
Notices to recover
the amount have
also been issued by
CCF (Firest), Field
Director (Mukundra
project), and Com-
missioner of Jhala-
war Municipality. It
will be interesting to
see whether the
Forest and Environ-
ment Minister Sukh-

the matter.

THE THIRD TIGER
RESERVE PROFILE
 The Mukundra Tiger Reserve (TR)
is situated in a valley formed by two
parallel mountains of Mukundra and
Gargola. The 4 rivers (Ramzan, Ahu,
Kali and Chambal) form the boundary
of the valley. It is located on the east-
ern bank of the Chambal River and is
drained by its tributaries
 The Mukundra Hills was declared
a wildlife sanctuary in 1955 and
a National Park (Mukundra Hills
(Darrah) National Park) in 2004.
It was notified as a tiger reserve
(2013) under the Wildlife Protection
Act, 1972 and became the third tiger
Reserve in Rajasthan after Ranth-
ambore and Sariska
 In the past, the reserve was the
royal hunting ground of the Maharaja
of Kota. The name Darrah is taken
as the‘pass in the local language
revealing the purpose that the region
served earlier. The Marathas, Rajput’s
and the British utilised the opportune
position of the forest to seek asylum
during war
 The Mukundra Tiger Reserve
constitutes covers 4 key districts of
Rajasthan (Kota, Bundi, Chittorgarh
and Jhalawar). The forest of the
reserve is very thick and dense

FRENEMIES MUCH?
They say politics is an ever-changing
game whose rules also developing
with each passing day. It is probably
due to this, that the saying “There
are no permanent enemies or friends
in politics” stems from. Well, what
else can be a better example of the
saying that the recent political climate
of Rajasthan wherein two leaders,
who had been at the opposite ends
of the power spectrum, have now
come together as one, and that
too overnight! The politics of Sikar
district has revolved around a handful
of individuals in Congress party
wherein two leaders of the grand old
party - Govind Singh Dotasara and
Parasram Mordiya - have been at
loggerheads for a long time. However,
with the elevation of Dotasara to the
position of PCC Chief, the enmity
has apparently ended! Only recently,
the duo came face to face wherein
Mordiya congratulated Dotasara and in
reply, the new PCC Chief gave a warm
welcome to his one-time adversary in
Sikar politics. Interestingly, another
politician from Sikar, Mahadev Singh
Khandela was instrumental in bridging
the ‘gap’ between the two leaders!

‘CLASS ATTENDANCE’
IN CONGRESS
With the Rajasthan Congress
going through a ‘crisis’ of
numbers in the state assembly,
each day a ‘headcount’ is
conducted in the party’s camp at
Fairmont hotel. Remember, how
you used to say ‘present’ when in
school the class teacher would take
attendance, well the Congress camp
is nothing short of a ‘pathshala’ for
the ‘attending’ MLAs since every
morning, a roll call is conducted
wherein each MLA has to reach
the designated spot, and sign an
attendance register! However, there
is a little twist in this pathshala.
Well, the roll call in school was
conducted by the class teacher,
however, here, the roll call is
conducted by the ‘class monitor’!
interestingly, it is MLA Rafik Khan
who has been given the charge of
getting the MLAs to appear and sign
the register and those legislators
who either get late or do not appear
to sign the attendance register, are
personally phoned by Khan to find
their whereabouts and ‘instructed’
to appear and do the needful!

According to the

the Haryana govern-

even not allowed to

Meghwal said that it
has been two months

toppling of the state gov-
ernmenthavebeendoing

tions of horse-trading.
He said that there is
a long history of po-
litical democracy that
had people like Bhai-
ron Singh Shekhawat.
Mohan Lal Sukhadia,
Vasundhara Raje, and
Ashok Gehlot pitted
against each other po-
litically.
They charged each
other both in and out of
the assembly but never
before have there been
conspiracies like the
present day. Meghwal
reminded that Bhanwar
Lal Sharma, who is now
with Congress, had
hatched a plot to topple
late Bhairon Singh
Shekhawat.
The charges were
corroborated by MLAs
who confided with
Shekhawat giving him
all details of money
exchange. Many de-
tails had reached the
media too which con-
firmed that Bhanwar
Lal Sharma had in fact
been involved in ad-
vancing money to
MLAs for toppling the
Shekhawat govt while
he was abroad for
heart treatment.
Meghwal said the
same Bhanwar Lal

volved in conspiring

Jaipur: Jaipur. Coro-
navirus like many ac-
tivities in life has ham-
pered the law too from
taking its due course.
The latest example
of it is the case of the
customs officials who
are still unable to
move with the investi-
gation let alone any
more arrests despite
recovering 32 kg of
Gold from smugglers
at the Jaipur Interna-
tional Airport.
The customs had ar-
rested 14 persons try-
ing to smuggle gold on
July 3. One of the ar-
rested smugglers was
diagnosed corona pos-
itive on four days after
the arrest, which sent
the customs depart-
ment into a tizzy.
All the customs of-
ficers & employees
along with the rest of
the smugglers who
had come in contact
with the smuggler
were quarantined.
These officers were
supposed to investi-
gate and verify the in-
formation given by
the arrested smug-
glers but the Corona
pressed the pause but-
ton on all further ac-
tions in the case.
The customs at the
airport had arrested 14
smugglers who had
reached the city from
Ras Al Khaimah and Ri-
yadh by Spicejet flights
flying under Vande
Bharat Mission.

New Delhi: Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP)
spokesperson Sambit
Patra on Friday reject-
ed claims made by Con-
gress party accusing
BJP of trying to topple
the Rajasthan govern-
ment by bribing Con-
gress MLAs.
“BJP rejects all the
baseless allegations be-
ing levelled against the
BJP leaders by Con-
gress in Rajasthan. Ac-
tually, Congress is frus-
trated as it couldn’t put
its house in order,” said
Patra. “They want to
blame BJP for their fail-
ures by using a manu-
factured audio clip,” he
added. BJP spokesper-
son’s remark comes
hours after Congress
leader Randeep Singh
Surjewala accused Un-
ion Cabinet minister
Gajendra Singh Shek-
hawat and Congress
MLA Bhanwarlal Shar-
ma of conspiring to top-
ple state govt. —ANI
New Delhi: In his first
remarks on the ap-
pointment of election
commissioner Ashok
Lavasa as Asian Devel-
opment Bank vice-
president, chief elec-
tion commissioner
Sunil Arora told the
Economic times that
the poll panel’s loss is
ADB’s gain.
“EC’s loss is ADB’s
gain,” CEC Arora told
ET on Thursday. It was
expected that Lavasa,
who is a 1980 batcj IAS
officer of the Haryana
cadre, would succeed
Arora as the next CEC
when he retires in
April 2021.
Lavasa’s appoint-
ment at ADB comes a
year after he regis-
tered his dissent over
Election Commission’s
decisions on model
code violation com-
plaints in Lok Sabha
elections of 2019.
In response to ET’s
queries on the issue,
CEC Arora referred to
his earlier press state-
ment on it. “…it would
kindly be recalled that a
press release was is-
sued from my office in
this context on
18.05.2019… it remains
as relevant now as it
was on May 18, 2019”,
CEC Arora said in a
written response to ET.
Earlier, in his May 18
statement, CEC Arora
had said that members
of the poll body are not
expected to be “clones
of each other”and
there have been many
times in the past when
there has been a vast
diversion of views but
the same largely re-
mained within the
confines of the ECI.
His May 18 statement
also made a reference
to his May 5 interview
to The Economic
Times on the contro-
versy where he had
said that he would rely
on the “eloquence of
silence”. The CEC,
however, declined to
comment on the issue
of IT probes against
Lavasa’s family mem-
bers last year.
New Delhi: Congress
has suspended MLAs
Bhanwar Lal Sharma
and Vishvendra Singh
from the primary mem-
bership of the party, a
statement by the party
said here on Friday.
Show cause notices
have been issued to
them to “explain their
conduct in the conspir-
acy to topple Congress
government in Ra-
jasthan.” The All India
Congress Committee
(AICC) issued a press
release stating, “In
view of the tapes re-
leased in a section of
media, Bhanwar Lal
Sharma (MLA, Sardar-
shahar) and Vishven-
dra Singh (MLA, Deeg
Kumher) have been
suspended from the
Congress Party with
immediate effect for
anti-party activities.
“A show-cause notice
has been issued to
them to explain their
conduct in the conspir-
acy to topple the Con-
gress government in
Rajasthan,” the order
further read.
In a fresh twist to the
political crisis in Ra-
jasthan, Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot’s loy-
alists have alleged that
Congress MLA and for-
mer cabinet minister
Bhanwarlal Sharma
was making his fifth at-
tempt to topple the
state government
along with former Dep-
uty Chief Minister
Sachin Pilot.
However, MLA Bhan-
war Lal Sharma has
refuted the allegations.
Gehlot’s Officer on
Special Duty (OSD)
Lokesh Sharma in a
statement on Thursday
said that Pilot and
Bhanwar Lal Sharma
were conspiring to top-
ple the Gehlot-govern-
ment in the state.
Rajasthan Congress
continues to remain in
turmoil after simmer-
ing differences be-
tween Pilot and Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
came out in the open.
On July 14 Pilot was
also sacked from the
posts of Rajasthan Dep-
uty Chief Minister and
state PCC president.
Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot has
blamed the BJP for at-
tempting to destabilise
the state government
by poaching MLAs.
A controversy had
broken out in Ra-
jasthan after Special
Operation Group
(SOG) sent a notice to
Pilot to record his
statement in the case
registered by SOG in
the alleged poaching of
Congress MLAs in the
state. —ANI

Jaipur: The Congress
on Friday upped the
ante against the
Bharatiya Janata Par-
ty (BJP), accusing it of
hatching a conspiracy
to topple the Ashok Ge-
hlot government in Ra-
jasthan.
The party on Friday
demanded the arrest
of union minister and
BJP leader Gajendra
Singh Shekhawat and
rebel Congress MLA
Bhanwarlal Sharma
after two audio clips
surfaced pertaining to
an alleged conspiracy
to topple the Ashok Ge-
hlot government.
AICC spokesperson
Randeep Surjewala
charged that the con-
spiracy to topple the
Congress government
was clear in the audio
tapes, terming it as a
black chapter in
the history of de-
mocracy.
“Two audio tapes
surfaced last night on
the so-called conversa-
tion of union minister
Gajendra Singh, Con-
gress MLA Bhanwar-
lal Sharma and BJP
leader Sanjay Jain.
The conspiracy to top-
ple the Congress gov-
ernment is clear
through the so-called
conversation. This is a
black chapter in the
history of democracy,”
he said at a press con-
ference outside a hotel
where the Con-
gress MLAs
are lodged.
He de-
manded that
the Special Operations
Group of the Ra-
jasthan Police register
an FIR against Shekha-
wat, Sharma and Jain
and arrest them for the
alleged conspiracy to
topple the government.
Surjewala said that
if there are any chanc-
es of influencing the
investigation by mis-
using the post which,
he says, appears to be
the case, then Shekha-
wat should be arrested
by obtaining a war-
rant. He said the
alleged in-
volvement of
others, who
are holding
posts in the central
government, officers
and agencies, in this
conspiracy should also
be made in the investi-
gation. Apart from
those who have been
named in the conversa-
tion in the audio tapes,
he said, it should also
be probed whether any
other person or MLA
is involved in alleged
exchange of money for
toppling the govern-
ment.
Surjewala also de-
manded that Sachin
Pilot, who has already
been sacked as deputy
CM and PCC presi-
dent, to make his stand
clear publicly about
the alleged mention of
providing the list of
MLAs to BJP’ in the
audio tapes.
In the press briefing,
Surjewala read out a
transcript of the audio
tapes. —PTI

Jaipur: Rajasthan
Housing Board (RHB)
Commissioner Pawan
Arora said on Friday
that the e-auction has
been a complete hit for
the sale of premium
properties by the
board.
This is so because
in two phases of e-
auction, the Board
has received a reve-
nue of Rs 33 crore
from the sale of 41
properties. It is worth
mentioning that in
the second phase of
the e-auction ended
on Friday wherein
the sale of 30 premi-
um properties gener-
ated rupees 24 crores
in revenue.
Earlier, revenue of Rs
8 crore 52 lakh was re-
ceived from the e-auc-
tion of 11 shops of
Ayush Market in Pratap
Nagar.
Commissioner Aro-
ra informed that 17
premium residential
properties in the state
were sold for Rs. 13.87
crore rupees in the e-
auction held between
July 15 and 17, where
the minimum selling
price of these proper-
ties was Rs. 9.44 crore
rupees.
Similarly, sale of 13
commercial properties
yieldedrevenueof Rs10.
54 crore while the mini-
mum selling price of
these properties was Rs.
4.65 crore rupees.
This only goes to
point that even though
Corona has dampened
the spirits of real es-
tate industry, RHB is
still going strong be-
cause of its people
centric policies and
schemes.
In another befitting
example of how valued
RHB’s properties are, a
shopof mere13.5square
meter in dimension, in
Jaipur’s prestigious
Mansarovar Scheme,
was sold for a whopping
3.72 lakh rupees per
square meter. While the
sale price of this shop
was kept at 75 thousand
rupeespersquaremeter.
Itisnoteworthythatear-
lier, plots of 11 shops de-
veloped in Ayush Mar-
ket of Pratap Nagar
were sold for 8 crore 52
lakhs.
“Now the residential
and commercial premi-
um properties will be
auctioned from 20 to 22
July 2020.
It consists of 5 resi-
dential plots in Pratap
Nagar of Jaipur, 3 resi-
dential plots in Mansa-
rovar, 2 residential plots
in Dadabadi at Kota, 1
residential plot in Muk-
ta Prasad Nagar of Bi-
kaner, 4 commercial
plots in Pratap Nagar of
Jaipur, 6 shops in Jhule-
lal market (Food Court)
in Mansarover and 4
commercial plots in
Commercial Belt-B of
Mansarovar, which will
be sold through e-auc-
tion,” Arora said.
RHB sells 41 properties worth 33 cr in a day!
New Delhi: Soon af-
ter the Congress
mounted an attack on
Union Minister Ga-
jendra Singh Shekha-
wat over alleged au-
diotapes purportedly
conspiring to topple
Gehlot government;
Shekhawat on Friday
said that he is ready
to face any investiga-
tion.
Speaking to ANI
over allegations
against him being
made by the Congress,
Shekhawat, who is an
MP from Rajasthan,
said, “I am ready to
face any investiga-
tion”.
Responding to
whether he knew
Sanjay Jain, named
by Congress leader
Randeep Singh Sur-
jewala in the press
conference accusing
him of conspiring to
bring down the gov-
ernment, Shekhawat
said, “I know many
Sanjay Jains. Which
one are they are talk-
ing about? Let me
know which one they
are talking about.
And they should also
tell from my which
number was the pur-
ported call made.
‘Kaun se number par
baat karai’ they
should tell,” said
Shekhawat.
Meanwhile, Con-
gress has lodged two
complaints re-
garding the
audiotapes.
“We regis-
tered 2 FIRs
under sec-
tion 124A and
120B. The ve-
racity of clip to
be investigated,”
Ashoke Rathore, ADG
SOG, Rajasthan. Bhan-
war Lal Sharma, Ga-
jendra Singh Shekha-
wat and Sanjay Jain
have been named in
the complaints.
Sources in the BJP
said that for the last
one month the Con-
gress has been trying
to establish a contact
between the BJP and
its leader Sachin Pi-
lot. They have miser-
ably failed and thus
attempting to
defame the
BJP by
these gim-
m i c k s ,
s o u r c e s
added.
Rajasthan Congress
continues to remain
in turmoil after sim-
mering differences
between Sachin Pilot
and Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot came
out in the open.
Pilot was, on July
14, sacked from the
posts of Rajasthan
Deputy Chief Minis-
ter and state PCC
president.
Gehlot has blamed
the BJP for attempting
to destabilise the state
government by poach-
ing MLAs.
A controversy had
broken out in Ra-
jasthan after Special

The participants
involved in the
conspiracy to bring
down the Rajasthan
government by going
against the party have
been suspended from
the party and notice
has been issued
against them. In this
case, we are now
demanding an inquiry
by the SOG.
Instead of focusing on the coronavirus pan-
demic, the BJP has conspired to topple the
government of Madhya Pradesh and now Ra-
jasthan. The evidence of trying to destabilize a
democratically elected government is in front of
everyone. Democracy has been hurt by the BJP.

City First brushes you through how dimples are
found to be attractive when people smile!
hen you meet
someone for the
first time and no-
tice they have a
dimple, don’t
they instantly be-
come really at-
tractive? Dimple being a
small natural indentation
on the body, notably on the
cheeks, is that one thing
that changes the entire look
of a person. They are said to
be extremely attractive as
they are quite prominent
and catch the eyes whenever
one looks at them.
The cute ‘depressions’
never fail to make people
look cute. There are times
when people fake a dimple,
just to look attractive; yes,
it’s true! Some people say
that dimples make people
look more approachable and
are associated with beauty.
They are also considered to
be a good-luck charm in a
few cultures.
While some people think
that dimples are a sign of
beauty in a person, we would
like to pop that bubble for
you- they are actually a de-
fect in the muscle. At the
same time, it is extremely
important to know that
they don’t have any nega-
tive health effects. So let’s
just consider them to be
a beautiful defect.
There are so
many people in the
Bollywood and Hol-
lywood industries
like Deepika Padu-
kone, Alia Bhatt, Preity
Zinta, Sushmita Sen, Cheryl
Fernandez, Ashley Benson
and Miranda Kerr among
others, who never fail to
bless the silver screens with
their beautiful dimples.
Here’s a quick fact about
dimples- the ones that occur
on the cheeks while one
laughs or passes a smile, are
known as ‘Gelasin’.

YOUR
DAYHoroscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
THE POWER DYNAMIChe mental health
drama “Lost
Transmissions”
sadly only begins
and ends with as-
piring songwriter
Hannah (Juno
Temple), and is otherwise
about Hannah’s schizo-
phrenic friend Theo (Simon
Pegg). Which is only disap-
pointing because it’s hard
to fully appreciate Han-
nah’s relationship with
Theo, the latter of whom
runs away from Hannah
whenever she tries to get
him the care he apparently
needs. There’s a fair chance
you’ve been, or had a friend
like Theo, somebody who is
so mentally and emotion-
ally unwell that they don’t
understand why they need
therapy, medication, and/
or hospitalization. It’s also
hard to know why Hannah
sticks with Theo in writer/
director Katherine
O’Brien’s drama, even
if you know that “Lost
Transmissions” is based on
what happened to a friend
of hers.
Unfortunately, the worst
parts of “Lost Transmis-
sions” are the early scenes
where Theo’s friends talk
about the emotional ties that
previously bound them to
him. These supporting char-
acters are not very sympa-
thetic because they’re either
talkingtoomuchornotdoing
enough to show us what mo-
tivatesthem.Soitmakes
sense that Hannah is
underdeveloped, be-
cause so is every-
body else in
O’Brien’s movie.
O ’ B r i e n ’ s
protagonists
only seem to
exist to push
Theo from one
confrontation to
the next, as we
hear in drab, mys-
tifying expository
dialogue when
Hannah talks
with Theo’s
friends about
staging an in-
t e r v e n t i o n ,
stuff like “You
know, he says
the same
things when
he’s normal.
He’s so funny.
It’s just when
he’s off his
meds, he
means ... all of it.” In an-
other scene, Theo’s long-
suffering friend Angus
(Jamie Harris) complains
bitterly to Theo, who makes
a scene when he’s dragged
to a mental hospital:
“Where’d you go, Theo? The
Theo I’d know would never
say anything like that.”
Mind you, Angus yells this
at Theo right after he tells
Hannah that he can’t care
for Theo because he already
did that two times before,
and doesn’t want to subject
his new girlfriend to the
worst of Theo. So, to recap:
Angus knows how badly
Theo behaves when he’s at
his worst, but somehow
doesn’t understand why
he’s ranting that nobody
cares for him, their timeline
is breaking apart, and that
he needs to reunite with the
“Princess of Time”?
Here’s a clue: Theo re-
fuses to take his anti-psy-
chotic medication, but does
love to self-medicate with
magic mushrooms and oth-
er psychotropic drugs, as
one of Theo’s friends ex-
plains:“We’vebeenthrough
this so many times with
him, and he still messes
with his medication. I
mean, who does psyche-
delics on antipsychotics?”
Apparently not Theo, who
takes more recreational
drugs, and less prescription
medication as Hannah
chases after him, at the ex-
pense of her own budding
career writing pop songs
for airhead diva Dana (Al-
exandra Daddario). He in-
evitably and repeatedly es-
capes Hannah’s grasp, be-
cause the American health-
care system is so over-
worked and underfunded
that they can’t care for
high-functioning patients
like Theo (on a more per-
sonal note: yup, this tracks).
And, for some reason, none
of Theo’s family members
seem to care enough about
him to personally fetch him
wherever he is or make him
accept their care.
Which leaves one to won-
der: why does Hannah care
so much about Theo? There
are some hints early on in
the movie: she takes medi-
cation, having suffered
bouts of suicidal depres-
sion, and he likes her
enough to ask her to record
music for him. Because
when Theo’s not raving
about making “ripples” in
the “timestream,” he’s a
burnt-out music producer
who’s well-connected and
respected enough to put
Hannah on the path to writ-
ing for Dana. Hannah’s own
mental and emotional dete-
rioration is also hinted at in
a few scenes, like when she
dilutes a carton of milk
with tap water, or takes
psychedelics with Theo.
But these scenes don’t build
to anything memorable,
nor do they suggest Han-
nah’s bond with Theo is as
great as his hold on her.
While Theo and Han-
nah’s codependent relation-
ship is believable, it’s not
revealing or well-represent-
ed enough to be compelling.
One scene lurches into an-
other, and most are filled
with details that only repeat
the same basic power dy-
namic: Theo is unwell, and
only Hannah is committed
to caring for him. So we fol-
low her while she chases
after him, never stopping
long enough to talk about
anything that he doesn’t
want to talk about. I mean,
I wish I could say that I’m
glad that I got to see them
play “I, Spy”.

First india jaipur edition-18 july 2020

  • 1. Aditi Nagar & Kartikey Dev Singh Jaipur: The stage is set for the biggest battle of our times effectively pitching the Centre against the State. In a swift ‘stroke’, the Ra- jasthan Special Opera- tions Group (SOG), on Friday, registered two FIRs against union minister for Jal Shakti and Jodhpur MP Gajen- dra Singh Shekhawat and two others, for try- ing to topple the state government. This de- velopment is touted to have far reaching impli- cations on the politics of Rajasthan. Moreo- ver, political observers are now viewing the recently conducted IT raid on few Congress leaders, as motivated by the current political game. Meanwhile, two FIRs have been registered by Congress leader Ma- hesh Joshi pertaining to the audio clips on the alleged con- spiracy to topple Rajasthan gov- ernment. “There were two com- plaints from Ma- hesh Joshi (Con- gress leader), it is with respect to the audio that went viral yester- day. We registered 2 FIRs under section 124A and 120B. The veracity of clip is to be investi- gated,” said Ashoke Rathore, ADG - SOG. “Sanjay Jain was in- terrogated yesterday, he was called today also. Presently we are trying to ascertain some facts from him,” the police of- ficial added. Jain was subjected to interroga- tion on Friday after which the SOG arrested the man. Rathore said it would not be appropriate to comment until it is established in the investiga- tion that the al- leged names that have surfaced in the complaint and audio clips are those the real per- sons. He also said SOG is also going to move court for permission to hold voice spectrogra- phy tests to match the voice samples. Earlier in the morn- ing, the Congress ac- cused Union Cabinet minister Gajendra Sin- gh Shekhawat and Con- gress legislator Bhan- warlal Sharma of con- spiring to topple the elected government in Rajasthan.

After the incident, the police came into ac- tion and started search- ing for the accused.

Minor girl abducted, gang raped, act filmed POLICE BEGINS PROBE Cong allegations against Shekhawat false: PooniaJaipur: The Rajasthan BJP on Friday accused the Congress of drag- ging it its internal fight between groups of two leaders in the state. BJP state president Satish Poonia also hit out at Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, saying he levelled false allega- tions against Union Minister Gajendra Sin- gh Shekhawat to de- fame him. “Surjewala is giving statements as if he is the DG of the SOG. Con- gress party and its gov- ernment are conspiring to defame the BJP and dragging it in its inter- nal fight between two leaders,” Poonia told reporters here at a press conference. He also asserted that San- jay Jain, whose name surfaced in audio re- cordings related to the alleged horse-trading of legislators, has no connection with BJP. Surjewala had dubbed Jain as a BJP leader but he is actually a Congress block presi- dent of Lunkaransar of Bikaner district, said Poonia. He said the Congress advocates the abrogation of Indian Penal Code section 124- A relating to the offence of sedition but CM Ashok Gehlot is using the same section against his own party leaders due to the fear of losing his chair. Leader of Opposition Gulab Chand Kataria also echoed Poonia’s views saying it is a certi- fied fact that it is an in- ternal fight within the Congress and the BJP is being dragged into it. He pointed out that audio recordings are not au- thentic evidence and even the courts do not accept them. “Phone taping cannot be done without prior approvalfromtheHome Department. It would have been better if the Congress had verified the facts before naming Union Minister Gajen- dra Singh Shekhawat,” he added. Deputy Leader of Op- position Rajendra Rathore said, “The Con- gress government in the state is on a death bed.” —PTI From left: GC Kataria, Satish Poonia and Rajendra Rathore during PC at BJP headquarters in Jaipur on Friday.

He was produced in the special court for economic offenses through public prosecutor Ban- wari Lal Takhar. Judge Anita Sindal sent him to judicial custody till July 30. ‘Fake VIP’ Papla gang member Gajraj Gurjar arrested by police Keeping vigil: 360° rotation camera installed at Paota First India Bureau Bharatpur: The Bharatpur police have got huge success as they have caught an active member of the Papla Gurjar gang and also recovered a Fortuner car from his possession. SP Dr Amandeep Singh Kapoor informed that Gajraj Singh Gurjar, a resident of Khanpur in Delhi, is not only a member of the Papla Gurjar gang but used to trick the police and ad- ministration by being a fake VIP. Dr Singh added that as a fake VIP, he used to send information about his arrival to various officials, including DG, Chief Secretary, Collec- tor, and SP, and sought to send escorts. A simi- lar e-mail came to his office as well and CO City Satish Verma and the Sewar SHO were as- signed special respon- sibility for its investi- gation. When Gurjar was caught near Vijay Hospital at Deeg Road, he was with the escort of UP Kabam- thura police. About 7 cases are reg- istered against Gurjar in various cities of Del- hi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. First India Bureau Jaipur: The Commis- sionerate Police are constantly getting high- tech on the prevention of criminal incidents. In this episode, a Hi- Tech 360 degrees rota- tion camera was in- stalled on Paota Circle on Friday. DCP Dhar- mendra Yadav formally inaugurated the cam- era and said that the crossing is the main spot of the city and thousands of vehicles pass from there daily. Many times, crimi- nals are able to escape after committing crimes. The special camera has been in- stalled to put an end to such crimes and take effectiveactionsagainst people breaking traffic rules. Regular monitor- ing would be done through the camera from the control room. COURTESY VISIT The officials of the IAS Association met CS Rajeeva Swarup on Friday.

FUN TIME AT FAIRMONT FRESH START: BD Kalla, Rafeek Khan, Shanti Dhariwal, Udailal Anjana, Mahendra Chaudhary, Rajendra Ghuda, Krishna Poonia and others practise yoga at Hotel Fairmont in Jaipur on Friday. POLISHING CULINARY SKILLS Shafia Zubair, Rafeek Khan, Mamta Bhupesh, and Shakuntala Rawat participating in a cookery class by Fairmont’s Executive chef on Friday. GUPSHUP TIME BD Kalla, Rafeek Khan and others bond over tea at Hotel Fairmont on Friday. V arious Congress MLAs, who have been camping at Hotel Fairmont in Jaipur since the last five days, kick started their day with a yoga session to boost their physical as well as the mental health on Friday. According to sources, there is tight security at the hotel wherein, no one is al- lowed to enter the premises. The legislators also enjoyed a fun-filled cooking session later on Friday where they tried their hands at vari- ous mouth-watering dishes with the help of Hotel’s Executive Chef. Apart from honing their culinary skills, the MLAs had a ball of a time watching the timeless classic of 60’s, Mughal-E-Azam. Most spent their day bonding over food and conversations. Consider cases of everyone equally: Adv Bhandari urges CJ Mahanty First India Bureau Jaipur: Advocate Poonam Chand Bhandari has written a letter to Chief Jus- tice of the Rajasthan High Court Indrajit Mahanty regarding holding the hearings of VIPs and powerful people only. In the let- ter, the advocate has said that CJ has given the orders of courts being closed till July 19 and the hearings of the cases are not be- ing held. A lot of people are in jail and their bail pleas are pending, while people are go- ing to jail in the ab- sence of hearing on interim bail applica- tions. The common people are losing trust in justice and it is be- coming difficult for the advocates to make their clients under- stand. On the other hand, the matters of rich, VIPs, and powerful people are being heard regularly dur- ing this period. For the hearing of the case related to the Reliance industry, a special bench was set up and orders were passed to organize the hearing on July 15. Similarly, a single bench was constituted on Friday for hearing the writ petition of the MLAs and the hearing was sched- uled for 7.40 PM. Whereas, the hearing of matters concerning the common people will be held till 4 pm only from July 20. If the court is closed due to the corona situ- ation, then why are the hearings involv- ing powerful person- alities being held. Does that mean the virus would not spread during the hearing of some se- lected people and it would spread through the hearing of the gen- eral public? I request to consider the cases of everyone equally and carry out the hearings accordingly. Poonam Chand Bhandari —PHOTOBYSUMANSARKAR

It seemed that Sachin did not want to join BJP but going back to Congress would be at the cost of self-respect. “Both of us are sons of farmers. I invite him to join BJP. He is young and energetic and to- gether we can clean sweep east Rajasthan,” Dr Meena said. He reminded Sachin that when his father Rajesh Pilot’s political career was dwindling he helped him twice. “I supported Sachin and Vasundhara as well. Now Sachin is in trou- ble, I am inviting him in the BJP with full confidence,” he said. Dr Meena did not agree with Sachin’s plan of third front. He said that he too had formed third front but failed. In the larger in- terest of the state Mee- na community and BJP workers are ready to help Sachin. “We supported his father Rajesh Pilot twice but Gurjars did not help me when re- quired. We supported Gehlot but Mali com- munity also did not help us,” he rued. When asked about Col Bhainsla joining the Congress as Pilot’s alternative, Dr Meena said that Bhainsla was a big leader, it is up to him. Meenas will support you: Kirodi to Pilot SHOW OF CAMARADERIE STATE REPORTS 8 DEATHS, 615 NEW CASES ON FRIDAY Social worker from Churu goes to Hyderabad to donate plasma The tally in Rajasthan now stands at 27,672 while death toll has reached 546; Maximum cases in last 24 hours were recorded from Bikaner with 108 patients First India Bureau Jaipur: Friday added 615 new corona positive cases in the state taking the tally to 27672 along with reporting 8 deaths taking the death toll so far to 546.

First India Bureau Jaipur: SMS hospital doctors conducted an- other complicated op- eration to save a life. One year old Hemant from Fatehpur Sikri near Agar in Uttar Pradesh was saved by SMS doctors who suc- cessfully operated him for “Supra-Cardiac To- tal Anomalous Pulmo- nary Venous Connec- tion” (TAPVC). Doctors said that He- mant weighed 5kg and he had been referred to the SMS hospital for respiratory problem but during the investi- gation they found that he had been suffering from TAPVC from the time of his birth. Head of the depart- ment of CTVS Dr Anil Sharma informed that this is a rare disease found in one or two chil- dren per 1000. If no treated on time, there is a risk of death.

Instead, the veins from the lungs attached to the heart are in abnormal posi- tions and this means that oxygenated blood enters or leaks into the wrong chamber. First India Bureau Churu: A resident from Rajgarh in Churu, in- fected by coronavirus in Hyderabad found a good Samaritan in a so- cial worker named Im- ran Khokar.

Special Public Pros- ecutor Yogesh Joshi said that case of kid- napping and raping a class 8 student was registered in June 2019 against accused Rakesh. According to the FIR accused Rake- sh had fooled the mi- nor on pretext of pro- viding her some la- bour work in Devli village and raped her the same night. Rakesh then carried her to Ahmedabad and raped her daily. The victim later somehow managed to contact her family and she was rescued. Mobile, sim card found in Jodh jail ‘Salesmen’ try to abduct 14-yr-old Six killed in accident in Sirohi First India Bureau Jodhpur: The dust over recov- ery of 12 mobiles and sims in Ajmer Central Jail has not set- tled and another high security jail has reported discovery of a mobile and sim card from a pris- oner. A surprise check in Jodh- pur Central Jail resulted in re- covery of a mobile and sim from Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh) resident prisoner Shahid from barack no 2 of ward 6 of the jail. Jailor Jagdish Poonia reported the matter to Ratanada police station after confiscating the mobile and sim. It is noteworthy that there are many dreaded ter- rorists from Kashmir and Pun- jab lodged in the jail. First India Bureau Baran: On Friday, two men at- tempted to kidnap a 14-year-old boy from Musai Gujran village in the Kavai police sta- tion area of Baran district. The accused are said to be sales- men, who came on a motorcycle to the village to sell their products. In course of this they tried to abduct the victim from the village and flee from the spot. However, the kid was vigilant and jumped from the motorbike to save himself. When the locals came to know about the incident, they caught the accused. The po- lice were also given details about the whole episode. First India Bureau Jaipur: Sanjay Jain alias Sanjay Baradiya’s name prominently fea- tures in the raging po- litical audio tapes con- cerning horse trading in the state. He is being interrogated by SOG. Sanjay hails from Lunkaransar and had shifted his base to Jaipur around two dec- ades ago. He is said to have been involved in the political circles since then. Some people say that Baradiya is into hotel business in partnership and there- fore he has been in touch with many IPS and IAS officers for quite some time now. While some say that he has stakes in marble business. He also has relations with a big business fam- ily in Jaipur which apart from professing many businesses also is active in the political and religious circuit. Meanwhile his family members deny his in- volvement with any business. According to some people Baradiya very often gets political ad- vertisements published in newspapers in con- sortium with political leaders. The most inter- esting point in the whole affair is that San- jay Baradiya alias San- jay Jain is the only ‘Out of the Mainstream guy’ involved in the horse trading scandal. All the rest of the voices in the audio tapes are said to be of renowned politi- cal persons. First India Bureau Sirohi: Six persons were killed when a tem- po traveller in which they were travelling col- lided with another vehi- cle in Sirohi district of Rajasthan on Friday, police said.

Editor: Jagdeesh Chandra, responsible for selection of news under the PRB Act an a thought be empowered with one’s energy, to make it manifest into reality? Sadhguru: Whatever people aspire for in their life – wheth- er it is to grow a business, build a house or whatever else – the thought: “I want this” arises. Once this thought happens, for most people, they focus their energy towards that something through action and start work- ing towards it. If their action is incisive enough, their thought becomes a reality. That is the usual way people function in the world. But they do not know how to infuse or empower that thought with a certain dimen- sion of energy. However, if you have some mobility in your energy be- yond the physical body, if the mobility becomes a conscious process, you can sit in one place and make your energies go somewhere else. However, if you do this without gaining sufficient mastery over your own life energies, you may not know how to pull the energies back into you. You can lose your life like this. You will see, if someone’s desire is beyond a certain pitch, they always die young. Most people’s desires are fickle. They desire some- thing today, something else to- morrow – it keeps changing. But if someone desires very powerfully towards something, they die young whether that something happens or not. Es- pecially if that something hap- pens, they die young because they know how to throw their life energies out, but do not have enough mastery to do the work and come back. A SINGLE-POINTED MIND IS POWERFUL Thought itself is a reverbera- tion and an energy. You cannot generate a thought without en- ergy. It is just that because it is happening in such a haphazard way, maybe it does not have the necessary energy to manifest itself. You can generate so muchenergywithyourthought process that you could kill someone. When your mind is single-pointed, it is a powerful instrument. Unfortunately, most of the time this single- pointedness happens to people in a negative way, not in a posi- tive way. An angry mind and also a lustful mind are very single-pointed minds. That is why in Indian culture, children are always warned, “When you are angry, do not say anything negative about somebody,” be- cause if your mind has become single-pointed with anger, it can easily manifest itself. Let us look at the process of generating a thought. Is your thought conscious or is it just an outcome of a million things that have already gotten into you? When your thought pro- cess is unconscious, most of the time it is like mental diar- rhea. There is no control over it. It simply rambles because there is old stuff inside. This is just like the more bad food you have in your stomach, the more your diarrhea goes on. When you have mental diarrhea, you cannot call it a thought. A woman once invited a few friends for dinner. She served dinner and then told her 6-year- old daughter, “Why don’t you say the blessing?” She wanted to show off her daughter a little bit. The daughter said, “I don’t know how to say a blessing.” The mother said, “Just repeat what mummy says.” So the girl very religiously bent her head, held her hands together and said, “Why on earth did I invite all these people for dinner.” These things are happening to you, isn’t it? You want to medi- tate, isn’t your mind talking so many things? CLEARING YOUR SLATE If you want to write on a black- board, first you have to wipe it clean. Only then will you be able to write clearly. If a mil- lion things have already been written on it and you write something else on that, no one can figure out what you have written. And after sometime neither will you. You have to first clear the space and then generate a thought consciously. If people have cleared their space and then have a thought, this thought really matters be- cause this has come out of a conscious process. Once this thought is on like this and it is held in that clarity, infusing en- ergy to it can be done. If you just generate a thought in your mind consciously and if it is single pointed, it will find its way in the world. It will manifest itself naturally. And if you have little more control over your life energies, you can tweak it further.

IN-DEPTH ANTI-DEFECTION LAW IS BACK IN SPOTLIGHT s an intense court battle ensued in the Rajasthan High Court on Fri- day after Sachin Pilot challenged the Speaker CP Joshi’s disqualifi- cation notice to him and 18 other legislators, the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution was brought into focus. The leg- islation, also known as Anti-Defection Law, was enacted to address the problem of insta- bility caused to democratically-elected gov- ernments by legislators shifting loyalties from the parties of which they are elected members. The Speaker’s notice to Pilot, the sacked deputy chief minister, and other dis- sidents was issued on the basis of a complaint by the ruling Congress party. Joshi gave them time till Friday to reply to the notice but Pilot went to the High Court. Justifying his action, the Speaker told the court through senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi that the petition questioning the Tenth Schedule should not be entertained as it may render related judgments of the Su- preme Court useless. Singhvi also argued that his client was within his remit while tak- ing into consideration dissidents’ speeches and activities even outside the House. In that respect, it was within the Constitution. Arguing against the Speaker’s order sen- ior counsel Harish Salve said that the Tenth Schedule won’t apply in the present context. “If it is an act outside the assembly, it will not come in the Tenth Schedule. If there is a difference of opinion with the CM or you speak against him, then he will not fall in the category of disqualification,” Salve said. He argued that the party whip is applicable only when the assembly is in session and that the whip won’t apply on “meetings in homes and hotels”. As the hearing will now resume on Mon- day, the legal issue raised promises that the battle will now be a long drawn one. Meanwhile what the Jaipur political dra- ma, like the one which played out in Madhya Pradesh a few months ago, has exposed is the Congress Party’s central leadership’s in- ability to act decisively. It is the problem of indecision or procrastination which forced Jyotiraditya Scindia to say good-bye to the party of which his father Madhavrao Scin- dia was an important part. In the case of Sachin Pilot also the central leadership sat quietly and watched till a breaking point was reached. Another issue facing the leadership is its inability to strike a balance between the young and the old leaders. Managing the am- bitions of the experienced senior leaders and relatively less experienced young Turks is a tough call. So far it has failed to strike the critical balance in the party and seem to fa- vour one side instead of trying out a mix of the two. This quandary is threatening the grand old party’s very existence. Madhya Pradesh has been snatched by the BJP. Now a desperate fight is on to save Rajasthan also from falling into BJP’s net. A hose who thought that a p a n d e m i c would make everyone real- ize the crucial role of care workers should think again. With the coronavi- rus still spreading rapid- ly, frontline workers are more essential – and at greater risk – than ever, yet public attention has shifted elsewhere. Worse, as economies col- lapse and labor-market conditions deteriorate, em- ployers in the private and public sector alike have grown more cynical in their treatment of essen- tial workers. Far from in- stilling a deeper apprecia- tion for their employees, the pandemic-induced surge in unemployment has enabled employers to exploit workers even more. Capitalism has always had an uneasy relation- ship with care work. Al- though capitalist pro- duction relies heavily on unpaid and underpaid labor performed by women, migrants, and other disadvantaged so- cial groups, it has his- torically pushed that work off the books and underground, into infor- mality. As a result, all the varied tasks associ- ated with social repro- duction are barely rec- ognized, much less re- warded or remunerated. Because so much care work is performed for free by women and girls within families and com- munities, it is simply taken for granted and, because it is outside the market, not counted as economic activity. Unpaid work performed by women who have no other choice thus creates a vicious cycle of devalua- tion. When women do en- ter labor markets, their wages tend to be lower than those of men, not only because they are willing to work for less, but also be- cause so much of their work is available for free. Hence, occupations domi- nated by women – such as in the care sector – tend to be lower paid; even men do- ing similar work suffer a wage penalty. In the case of health care, there are addition- al occupational hierar- chies to navigate, from highly paid “profession- als” like specialist physi- cians down to nurses, ward attendants, and cleaners. Unsurprising- ly, the gender balance within each occupation changes as one goes down the pecking order, with women concentrat- ed in the lower-status, worst-paid positions. Globally, women hold 70% of all health-care jobs. But they are more likely to be nurses, midwives, and community health work- ers, while men comprise a disproportionate share of better-paid occupations like surgeons, physicians, dentists, and pharmacists. Community health work- ers are perhaps the most exploited of all health workers, especially in de- veloping countries. Often, they are not recognized as workers at all, but rather as “volunteers” (as is true in India). As such, they rarely benefit from formal contracts that provide job security and a fair wage, let alone protections like health care. Women health-care workers are also more at risk in the current pan- demic, because they are more likely to be in- volved in activities that require close physical contact with patients. The public acclaim has not translated into better working conditions or higher wages, and certain- ly not systematic efforts to ensure their physical safe- ty during the pandemic.

DON’T TURN BIHAR ELECTION INTO SUPER-SPREADER EVENT: OPPN Patna: Opposition parties in Bihar have written a joint letter to EC asking to ensure an “equal oppor- tunity” in state election due in October-November. The opposition parties said Election Commission should ensure the twin goals are met - safety of voters from COVID-19, & free & fair election. “People also expect the commission to ensure that entire poll exercise does not become a super-spreader event,” they said. “The state has a population of around 13 crore with 7.5 crore voters. How does EC plan to ensure physical distancing of at least two yards recommended by WHO & ICMR, repeatedly advocated by the PM?” New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday, targeted the cen- tralgovernmentoverthe India-China stand-off, stating since 2014 Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “constant blun- ders and indiscretions” have fundamentally weakened the country. He also posted a few minutes long video and asked, “What is it about India’s situation that has made China act in such an aggressive way? What is it about this moment in time that allowed China to take such an aggressive stand against a country like India?” “Since 2014, the PM’s constant blunders and indiscretions have fun- damentally weakened India and left us vulner- able. Empty words don’t suffice in the world of geopolitics,” the Gan- dhi scion tweeted. In the video clip, the Congress leader said in the last six years, India was “disturbed” and “disrupted” because it failed in various areas such as protecting the economy, foreign rela- tions and added that these situations had “made China act in such an aggressive way.” “One has to go in mul- tiple spaces to under- stand this. Countries are not protected by not one particular thing but by the confluence of forces, the confluence of systems. So a country is protected by its foreign relationships, it is pro- tected by its neighbour- hood, it is protected by its economy. It is pro- tected by the feelings that people have. The vi- sion that its people have. In the last six years, in all these areas India has been disturbed and disrupted.”Talking about the Centre’s for- eign policies, Gandhi stated that the country has strategic partner- ships with the United States and Russia, which have now become transactional relations. “Earlier, India could maneuver in geopoli- tics with the help of these relations but now India doesn’t enjoy these partnerships any more,” Gandhi said He spoke on India’s current relations with its neighbouring coun- try and said the govern- ment has managed to anger Nepal, Bhutan andevenSriLanka,who used to be friends with our country earlier. “We have said on mul- tiple occasions that the economy needs major boosts from the govern- ment. We have said fire the economy, protect small businesses,” he said. —ANI PM Modi’s constant blunders have fundamentallyweakenedIndia:RaGaDisruptions in India’s relationships, weak economy gave China confidence to transgress into our terrain Guwahati: An intiative called ‘India for Assam’ has been launched to create awareness about the current flood calam- ity in the state and help in rehabilitation.

He was responsible for a large number of at- tacks including many IED attempts against security forces.” From Pg1 These complaints were filed after Randeep Sin- gh Surjewala read out a transcript of alleged au- dio of horse-trading be- tween rebel MLAs and BJP at a press confer- ence on Friday. Notably, Congresshassuspended Sharma and another MLA Vishvendra Singh from the primary mem- bership of the party for their alleged involve- ment in horse-trading of MLAs and demanded registration of a case against them. BJP also initiated its ‘counter- measures’ to bring the Congress on backfoot as on Friday night, BJP leaders from Jaipur, Laxmikant Bhardwaj, Ashok Singh Shekha- wat, Surendra Singh Naruka & others, reached Ashok Nagar PS to file FIR against Randeep Surjewala, Go- vind Dotasara, Mahesh Joshi and OSD to CM Lokesh Sharma for making false implica- tions against central minister Gajendra Sin- gh. In another move, BJP MLA Madan Dila- war shot a letter to Speaker CP Joshi re- minding him of his ap- peal raised on 13th March 2020 against the inclusion of BSP MLAs in Congress party. Dil- wara demanded that the appeal be heard soon and disposed, for ‘deliv- ery of justice’. As BJP filed FIR against Con- gress leaders, ACB sud- denly jumped to action on Friday late night as it registered a case on the complaint filed ear- lier by chief whip Ma- hesh Joshi.

The three time chief minister of the desert state questioned on ad- vocates representing Pilot camp in High Court saying that they are leaders of BJP. “This game had to hap- pen on the death anni- versary of Rajesh Pilot, but we filed their game. No one complained to me even once. Sachin never wanted to talk to me, his world was com- pletely different. He got everything in a young age of 35-40 years, he should have been pa- tient. As soon as he came, he tried to make an environment of be- coming the chief minis- ter and would always be engrossed in media management. Rahul Gandhi gave Sachin sev- eral opportunities. I did not lust for being CM, I stayed quiet so that the fissures do not grow be- tween us,” Gehlot said. Speaker postpones... The counsel agreed to extend this to 5.30 pm on Tuesday as the court was yet to give an order on the petition. Harish Salve and Mukul Rohatgi argued for the petitioners via video conference while Abhishek Manu Singh- vi was among those who argued on behalf of the Speaker. During the hearing, the court was ordered to be vacated by everyone other than the lawyers pertaining to the case, followeing which Salve presented his argument for nearly three hours, followed by Mukul Rohatgi. Salve claimed that by looking at the notice it appears that the Assembly Speaker has been par- tial. The senior counsel questioned as to how can a notice be given for not appearing in a party meeting and that it is against the right to speech ensured by the Constitution. Meanwhile, Mukul Rohatgi claimed that the action was againt rules and minimum seven days’ time should have been given to re- spond. He also high- lighted that BJP MLA Madan Dilawar had given an application on BSP MLAs to the Speak- er long back, but till now no action has been taken, moreover, in this matter a notice was is- sued within a few hours. He further said that Pi- lot camp has raised its voice within the party structure and have not rebelled, therefore they can not be termed ineli- gible. Representing CP Joshi, Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that Speak- er was right in issuing notices since the MLAs gave statements against party lines and did not follow the party whip. He stressed that the ap- plication is filed prema- turely and on possibili- ties, therefore, till the time Assembly Speak- er’s decision is not pro- nounced, the MLAs can not turn to the court for any relief. Speaker’s powers are autonomous and he has issued show-cause no- tices. The judiciary should not interfere till the order on the notices is passed. The petition had challenged the no- tices based on a Con- gress complaint that the MLAs should be dis- qualified from the Ra- jasthan Assembly for defying a party whip. Bench also asked Ma- hesh Joshi, who had filed the complaint be- fore the Speaker, to re- spond to the dissidents’ petition by Saturday. Joshi’s petition was im- pleaded on Friday.

  • 8. MUKUNDRA CHROMOSOMENirmal Tiwari Jaipur: The voice for dismissing the Mukundra Advisory Committee is rising yet again, after one of its member Tapeshwar Singh Bhati was found flouting all rules & regulations of safari of Mukundra Hills Tiger Reserve. Tapeshwar Singh, despitebeingthemem- ber of the advisory committee of the pro- ject, did not bother to either wear a safety jacket or take any safe- tyequipmentwhilego- ing on a safari of core Jawahar Sagar. As per guidelines, it is restricted to get down anywhere dur- ing the safari of this area, yet Tapeshwar Singh not just got down on the Titanic island in the upstream area but also got him- self photographed. To make matters worse, the advisory committee member was accompanied by other people also. It is worth recalling that recently during the lockdown period some photos of night safari of Jawahar Sagar, which is the core area of Mukundra Hills area, surfaced on so- cial media, which is currently being inves- tigated by the Mukun- dra DCFT Mohan Raj. A key suspect in the case is Banwari Yadu- vanshi, who has the contractof boating,al- lotted by the forest de- partment, in the area. Accordingtothevil- lagers, a Gypsy that might belong to Yadu- vanshi, was also used during the night safa- ri. The case becomes morestarkandserious astheMuKundraHills Tiger is not open for tourism as of now. So this becomes a grave issue as the night sa- fari could not happen without some staff be- ing involved in it. Itisnoteworthythat Banwari Yaduvanshi owes Rs 24 lakh to UIT Kota in lieu of the ten- der for Kishore Sagar. Kota UIT had confis- cated the boats of Ban- wari in the same case. Notices to recover the amount have also been issued by CCF (Firest), Field Director (Mukundra project), and Com- missioner of Jhala- war Municipality. It will be interesting to see whether the Forest and Environ- ment Minister Sukh- ram Vishnoi acts in the matter. In second such case of violation of rules, Tapeshwar Singh, despite being member of the advisory committee, did not bother to either wear safety jacket or take any equipment while on a safari in core area THE THIRD TIGER RESERVE PROFILE  The Mukundra Tiger Reserve (TR) is situated in a valley formed by two parallel mountains of Mukundra and Gargola. The 4 rivers (Ramzan, Ahu, Kali and Chambal) form the boundary of the valley. It is located on the east- ern bank of the Chambal River and is drained by its tributaries  The Mukundra Hills was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1955 and a National Park (Mukundra Hills (Darrah) National Park) in 2004. It was notified as a tiger reserve (2013) under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and became the third tiger Reserve in Rajasthan after Ranth- ambore and Sariska  In the past, the reserve was the royal hunting ground of the Maharaja of Kota. The name Darrah is taken as the‘pass in the local language revealing the purpose that the region served earlier. The Marathas, Rajput’s and the British utilised the opportune position of the forest to seek asylum during war  The Mukundra Tiger Reserve constitutes covers 4 key districts of Rajasthan (Kota, Bundi, Chittorgarh and Jhalawar).

They say politics is an ever-changing game whose rules also developing with each passing day. It is probably due to this, that the saying “There are no permanent enemies or friends in politics” stems from. Well, what else can be a better example of the saying that the recent political climate of Rajasthan wherein two leaders, who had been at the opposite ends of the power spectrum, have now come together as one, and that too overnight! The politics of Sikar district has revolved around a handful of individuals in Congress party wherein two leaders of the grand old party - Govind Singh Dotasara and Parasram Mordiya - have been at loggerheads for a long time. However, with the elevation of Dotasara to the position of PCC Chief, the enmity has apparently ended! Only recently, the duo came face to face wherein Mordiya congratulated Dotasara and in reply, the new PCC Chief gave a warm welcome to his one-time adversary in Sikar politics. Interestingly, another politician from Sikar, Mahadev Singh Khandela was instrumental in bridging the ‘gap’ between the two leaders! —Yogesh Sharma ‘CLASS ATTENDANCE’ IN CONGRESS With the Rajasthan Congress going through a ‘crisis’ of numbers in the state assembly, each day a ‘headcount’ is conducted in the party’s camp at Fairmont hotel. Remember, how you used to say ‘present’ when in school the class teacher would take attendance, well the Congress camp is nothing short of a ‘pathshala’ for the ‘attending’ MLAs since every morning, a roll call is conducted wherein each MLA has to reach the designated spot, and sign an attendance register! However, there is a little twist in this pathshala. Well, the roll call in school was conducted by the class teacher, however, here, the roll call is conducted by the ‘class monitor’! interestingly, it is MLA Rafik Khan who has been given the charge of getting the MLAs to appear and sign the register and those legislators who either get late or do not appear to sign the attendance register, are personally phoned by Khan to find their whereabouts and ‘instructed’ to appear and do the needful! —Naresh Sharma First India Bureau Jaipur: Audio clips of BJP leaders have exposed their con- spiracy to topple Congress govern- ment in the state. The strong allega- tion was levied by Transport Minister PratapSinghKhacha- riyawas on Friday. Khachariyawasfur- ther attacked the BJP sayingthatthesaffron party had conspired with congress rebels to bring down the Ge- hlot government us- ing money power at the behest of their top brass at the Centre. The BJP was time- ly stopped in its tracks otherwise it would have succeed- ed in toppling a dem- ocratically-elected government. “The audio clips have clearly revealed that MLAs were bought and the BJP leaders were involved in it,” Khachariyawas further alleged. According to the transport minister, the Haryana govern- ment and police have been taking care of rebel MLAs. They are even not allowed to meet anyone, which leaves no doubt about BJP’snefariousplans.

Meghwal said that it has been two months that the rumours of the toppling of the state gov- ernmenthavebeendoing rounds amid the allega- tions of horse-trading. He said that there is a long history of po- litical democracy that had people like Bhai- ron Singh Shekhawat. Mohan Lal Sukhadia, Vasundhara Raje, and Ashok Gehlot pitted against each other po- litically. They charged each other both in and out of the assembly but never before have there been conspiracies like the present day. Meghwal reminded that Bhanwar Lal Sharma, who is now with Congress, had hatched a plot to topple late Bhairon Singh Shekhawat. The charges were corroborated by MLAs who confided with Shekhawat giving him all details of money exchange. Many de- tails had reached the media too which con- firmed that Bhanwar Lal Sharma had in fact been involved in ad- vancing money to MLAs for toppling the Shekhawat govt while he was abroad for heart treatment.

Kashiram Choudhary Jaipur: Jaipur. Coro- navirus like many ac- tivities in life has ham- pered the law too from taking its due course. The latest example of it is the case of the customs officials who are still unable to move with the investi- gation let alone any more arrests despite recovering 32 kg of Gold from smugglers at the Jaipur Interna- tional Airport. The customs had ar- rested 14 persons try- ing to smuggle gold on July 3. One of the ar- rested smugglers was diagnosed corona pos- itive on four days after the arrest, which sent the customs depart- ment into a tizzy. All the customs of- ficers & employees along with the rest of the smugglers who had come in contact with the smuggler were quarantined. These officers were supposed to investi- gate and verify the in- formation given by the arrested smug- glers but the Corona pressed the pause but- ton on all further ac- tions in the case. The customs at the airport had arrested 14 smugglers who had reached the city from Ras Al Khaimah and Ri- yadh by Spicejet flights flying under Vande Bharat Mission. Initial interrogation had revealed that the master smuggler from Dubai had booked all 14 accused carriers to fly to Jaipur. All the arrested car- riers hail from Nagaur and Shekhawati re- gions of Rajasthan.

A person who is used to carrying the Gold to the destination from the Middle East is called a carrier. Each carrier is given Rs10-15000foronetrip along with a free ticket to the destination.

It was expected that Lavasa, who is a 1980 batcj IAS officer of the Haryana cadre, would succeed Arora as the next CEC when he retires in April 2021. Lavasa’s appoint- ment at ADB comes a year after he regis- tered his dissent over Election Commission’s decisions on model code violation com- plaints in Lok Sabha elections of 2019. In response to ET’s queries on the issue, CEC Arora referred to his earlier press state- ment on it. “…it would kindly be recalled that a press release was is- sued from my office in this context on 18.05.2019… it remains as relevant now as it was on May 18, 2019”, CEC Arora said in a written response to ET. Earlier, in his May 18 statement, CEC Arora had said that members of the poll body are not expected to be “clones of each other”and there have been many times in the past when there has been a vast diversion of views but the same largely re- mained within the confines of the ECI. His May 18 statement also made a reference to his May 5 interview to The Economic Times on the contro- versy where he had said that he would rely on the “eloquence of silence”. The CEC, however, declined to comment on the issue of IT probes against Lavasa’s family mem- bers last year. New Delhi: Congress has suspended MLAs Bhanwar Lal Sharma and Vishvendra Singh from the primary mem- bership of the party, a statement by the party said here on Friday. Show cause notices have been issued to them to “explain their conduct in the conspir- acy to topple Congress government in Ra- jasthan.” The All India Congress Committee (AICC) issued a press release stating, “In view of the tapes re- leased in a section of media, Bhanwar Lal Sharma (MLA, Sardar- shahar) and Vishven- dra Singh (MLA, Deeg Kumher) have been suspended from the Congress Party with immediate effect for anti-party activities. “A show-cause notice has been issued to them to explain their conduct in the conspir- acy to topple the Con- gress government in Rajasthan,” the order further read. In a fresh twist to the political crisis in Ra- jasthan, Chief Minis- ter Ashok Gehlot’s loy- alists have alleged that Congress MLA and for- mer cabinet minister Bhanwarlal Sharma was making his fifth at- tempt to topple the state government along with former Dep- uty Chief Minister Sachin Pilot. However, MLA Bhan- war Lal Sharma has refuted the allegations. Gehlot’s Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Lokesh Sharma in a statement on Thursday said that Pilot and Bhanwar Lal Sharma were conspiring to top- ple the Gehlot-govern- ment in the state. Rajasthan Congress continues to remain in turmoil after simmer- ing differences be- tween Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. On July 14 Pilot was also sacked from the posts of Rajasthan Dep- uty Chief Minister and state PCC president. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has blamed the BJP for at- tempting to destabilise the state government by poaching MLAs.

The party on Friday demanded the arrest of union minister and BJP leader Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and rebel Congress MLA Bhanwarlal Sharma after two audio clips surfaced pertaining to an alleged conspiracy to topple the Ashok Ge- hlot government. AICC spokesperson Randeep Surjewala charged that the con- spiracy to topple the Congress government was clear in the audio tapes, terming it as a black chapter in the history of de- mocracy. “Two audio tapes surfaced last night on the so-called conversa- tion of union minister Gajendra Singh, Con- gress MLA Bhanwar- lal Sharma and BJP leader Sanjay Jain. The conspiracy to top- ple the Congress gov- ernment is clear through the so-called conversation. This is a black chapter in the history of democracy,” he said at a press con- ference outside a hotel where the Con- gress MLAs are lodged. He de- manded that the Special Operations Group of the Ra- jasthan Police register an FIR against Shekha- wat, Sharma and Jain and arrest them for the alleged conspiracy to topple the government. Surjewala said that if there are any chanc- es of influencing the investigation by mis- using the post which, he says, appears to be the case, then Shekha- wat should be arrested by obtaining a war- rant. He said the alleged in- volvement of others, who are holding posts in the central government, officers and agencies, in this conspiracy should also be made in the investi- gation. Apart from those who have been named in the conversa- tion in the audio tapes, he said, it should also be probed whether any other person or MLA is involved in alleged exchange of money for toppling the govern- ment. Surjewala also de- manded that Sachin Pilot, who has already been sacked as deputy CM and PCC presi- dent, to make his stand clear publicly about the alleged mention of providing the list of MLAs to BJP’ in the audio tapes.

This is so because in two phases of e- auction, the Board has received a reve- nue of Rs 33 crore from the sale of 41 properties. It is worth mentioning that in the second phase of the e-auction ended on Friday wherein the sale of 30 premi- um properties gener- ated rupees 24 crores in revenue. Earlier, revenue of Rs 8 crore 52 lakh was re- ceived from the e-auc- tion of 11 shops of Ayush Market in Pratap Nagar.

Similarly, sale of 13 commercial properties yieldedrevenueof Rs10. 54 crore while the mini- mum selling price of these properties was Rs. 4.65 crore rupees. This only goes to point that even though Corona has dampened the spirits of real es- tate industry, RHB is still going strong be- cause of its people centric policies and schemes. In another befitting example of how valued RHB’s properties are, a shopof mere13.5square meter in dimension, in Jaipur’s prestigious Mansarovar Scheme, was sold for a whopping 3.72 lakh rupees per square meter. While the sale price of this shop was kept at 75 thousand rupeespersquaremeter.

Speaking to ANI over allegations against him being made by the Congress, Shekhawat, who is an MP from Rajasthan, said, “I am ready to face any investiga- tion”. Responding to whether he knew Sanjay Jain, named by Congress leader Randeep Singh Sur- jewala in the press conference accusing him of conspiring to bring down the gov- ernment, Shekhawat said, “I know many Sanjay Jains. Which one are they are talk- ing about? Let me know which one they are talking about. And they should also tell from my which number was the pur- ported call made. ‘Kaun se number par baat karai’ they should tell,” said Shekhawat.

Rajasthan Congress continues to remain in turmoil after sim- mering differences between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was, on July 14, sacked from the posts of Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minis- ter and state PCC president. Gehlot has blamed the BJP for attempting to destabilise the state government by poach- ing MLAs. A controversy had broken out in Ra- jasthan after Special Operation Group (SOG) sent a notice to Pilot to record his statement in the case registered by SOG in the alleged poach- ing of Congress MLAs in the state. —ANI AVINASH PANDE @avinashpandeinc The participants involved in the conspiracy to bring down the Rajasthan government by going against the party have been suspended from the party and notice has been issued against them. In this case, we are now demanding an inquiry by the SOG. Instead of focusing on the coronavirus pan- demic, the BJP has conspired to topple the government of Madhya Pradesh and now Ra- jasthan. The evidence of trying to destabilize a democratically elected government is in front of everyone. Democracy has been hurt by the BJP.

Dimple being a small natural indentation on the body, notably on the cheeks, is that one thing that changes the entire look of a person. They are said to be extremely attractive as they are quite prominent and catch the eyes whenever one looks at them. The cute ‘depressions’ never fail to make people look cute. There are times when people fake a dimple, just to look attractive; yes, it’s true! Some people say that dimples make people look more approachable and are associated with beauty. They are also considered to be a good-luck charm in a few cultures. While some people think that dimples are a sign of beauty in a person, we would like to pop that bubble for you- they are actually a de- fect in the muscle. At the same time, it is extremely important to know that they don’t have any nega- tive health effects. So let’s just consider them to be a beautiful defect. There are so many people in the Bollywood and Hol- lywood industries like Deepika Padu- kone, Alia Bhatt, Preity Zinta, Sushmita Sen, Cheryl Fernandez, Ashley Benson and Miranda Kerr among others, who never fail to bless the silver screens with their beautiful dimples. Here’s a quick fact about dimples- the ones that occur on the cheeks while one laughs or passes a smile, are known as ‘Gelasin’. W NEHAL NAYAR nehal.nayar@firstindia.co.in CUTE DIPS

YOUR DAYHoroscope by Saurabbh Sachdeva THE POWER DYNAMIChe mental health drama “Lost Transmissions” sadly only begins and ends with as- piring songwriter Hannah (Juno Temple), and is otherwise about Hannah’s schizo- phrenic friend Theo (Simon Pegg). Which is only disap- pointing because it’s hard to fully appreciate Han- nah’s relationship with Theo, the latter of whom runs away from Hannah whenever she tries to get him the care he apparently needs. There’s a fair chance you’ve been, or had a friend like Theo, somebody who is so mentally and emotion- ally unwell that they don’t understand why they need therapy, medication, and/ or hospitalization. It’s also hard to know why Hannah sticks with Theo in writer/ director Katherine O’Brien’s drama, even if you know that “Lost Transmissions” is based on what happened to a friend of hers. Unfortunately, the worst parts of “Lost Transmis- sions” are the early scenes where Theo’s friends talk about the emotional ties that previously bound them to him. These supporting char- acters are not very sympa- thetic because they’re either talkingtoomuchornotdoing enough to show us what mo- tivatesthem.Soitmakes sense that Hannah is underdeveloped, be- cause so is every- body else in O’Brien’s movie. O ’ B r i e n ’ s protagonists only seem to exist to push Theo from one confrontation to the next, as we hear in drab, mys- tifying expository dialogue when Hannah talks with Theo’s friends about staging an in- t e r v e n t i o n , stuff like “You know, he says the same things when he’s normal. He’s so funny. It’s just when he’s off his meds, he means ... all of it.” In an- other scene, Theo’s long- suffering friend Angus (Jamie Harris) complains bitterly to Theo, who makes a scene when he’s dragged to a mental hospital: “Where’d you go, Theo? The Theo I’d know would never say anything like that.” Mind you, Angus yells this at Theo right after he tells Hannah that he can’t care for Theo because he already did that two times before, and doesn’t want to subject his new girlfriend to the worst of Theo. So, to recap: Angus knows how badly Theo behaves when he’s at his worst, but somehow doesn’t understand why he’s ranting that nobody cares for him, their timeline is breaking apart, and that he needs to reunite with the “Princess of Time”? Here’s a clue: Theo re- fuses to take his anti-psy- chotic medication, but does love to self-medicate with magic mushrooms and oth- er psychotropic drugs, as one of Theo’s friends ex- plains:“We’vebeenthrough this so many times with him, and he still messes with his medication. I mean, who does psyche- delics on antipsychotics?” Apparently not Theo, who takes more recreational drugs, and less prescription medication as Hannah chases after him, at the ex- pense of her own budding career writing pop songs for airhead diva Dana (Al- exandra Daddario). He in- evitably and repeatedly es- capes Hannah’s grasp, be- cause the American health- care system is so over- worked and underfunded that they can’t care for high-functioning patients like Theo (on a more per- sonal note: yup, this tracks). And, for some reason, none of Theo’s family members seem to care enough about him to personally fetch him wherever he is or make him accept their care. Which leaves one to won- der: why does Hannah care so much about Theo? There are some hints early on in the movie: she takes medi- cation, having suffered bouts of suicidal depres- sion, and he likes her enough to ask her to record music for him. Because when Theo’s not raving about making “ripples” in the “timestream,” he’s a burnt-out music producer who’s well-connected and respected enough to put Hannah on the path to writ- ing for Dana. Hannah’s own mental and emotional dete- rioration is also hinted at in a few scenes, like when she dilutes a carton of milk with tap water, or takes psychedelics with Theo. But these scenes don’t build to anything memorable, nor do they suggest Han- nah’s bond with Theo is as great as his hold on her. While Theo and Han- nah’s codependent relation- ship is believable, it’s not revealing or well-represent- ed enough to be compelling. One scene lurches into an- other, and most are filled with details that only repeat the same basic power dy- namic: Theo is unwell, and only Hannah is committed to caring for him. So we fol- low her while she chases after him, never stopping long enough to talk about anything that he doesn’t want to talk about. I mean, I wish I could say that I’m glad that I got to see them play “I, Spy”. T Sources: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/lost-transmissions-movie-re-
