film Fugly, produced by
Akshay Kumar, he has
appeared in Short Films such
as Strangers in the Night
produced by Dharma
Productions and Directed by
Shakun Batra, and in Love
Shots produced by Yash Raj
Films.
In 2014, Mohit has been
named one of the Best Dressed
Men in Bollywood by GQ
India. Joining his celebrity
status as a fashion star, were
famous personas as Saif Ali
Khan, Abhay Deol, Shahid
Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh,

children
Mohit Marwah is playing
the character of Prem Sahgal
in Raag Desh, who according
to Mohit, was a quite different,
smart and flamboyant person.
Mohit, who plays a pivotal
role in Raag Desh, said that
doing the film made two of his
wishes comes true -- the desire
to work with director
Tigmanshu Dhulia and to
essay a war hero.
Talking about his first
meeting with Dhulia, Mohit
said: "He (Dhulia) is a man of
few words, so when I met him
for the first time, I wanted to
say so much and I think we just
exchanged 7 to 8 sentences.
That was an experience -
meeting Tigmanshu Dhulia for
the first time. However, saying
yes to 'Raagdesh' was quite
easy as I was longing to do a
war drama and also wanted to
work with him."
The story of Raag Desh
revolves around three Indian
Army National (INA) officers
and the historic Red Fort Trial
of 1945.
"If you look at the journey
of Prem Sahgal, it's pretty
interesting. He comes from a
well-to-do family and his
father was an influential man,’’
he said.
"After completing his
education Sahgal joined the
military. The change happened
when he got caught as a war
prisoner and decided to join
the INA, though he had the
opportunity to lead a normal
life. That was the turning point
of his life," said Mohit.
"Most of our freedom
fighters and war heroes
somewhere lived with the
passion to bring the change in
country as they grew up seeing
things that affected them...
Whether it was Shaheed
Bhagat Singh, Shah Nawaz
Khan or others,’’ he said.
"But As his character in
"Raagdesh" is set in the 1940s,
was it tough to deal with
Sahgal's personality? He said:
"I was doing coming-of-age
boys' stories, and wanted to do
something way different that
has to do with love stories. So,
this film is for that. As an
individual, I choose the
unusual,’’ he said.

Vipin Gaur
New Delhi: Ram Nath
Kovind, a former BJP member
and an RSS activist, was on
Tuesday sworn in as the 14th
President of India.
Chief Justice J.S. Khehar
administered the oath of office
to Kovind in the presence of
outgoing President Pranab
Mukherjee and Prime Minister
Narendra Modi in Parliament's
Central Hall. Immediately
after the oath taking
ceremony, Kovind, 71,
exchanged the chair with
Mukherjee to take over the top
constitutional post of India - as
the head of the state and
supreme commander of the
Indian Armed forces. Speaker
Sumitra Mahajan and
outgoing Vice President M.
Hamid Ansari and MPs were
present in the Central Hall.
Kovind, former Bihar
Governor, is the second Dalit
President of India after K.R.
Narayanan.
President Said, I thank you
for electing me to the
responsibility of the President
of India, and I enter this office
with all humility. Coming here
to Central Hall has brought
back so many memories. I
have been a Member of
Parliament and here, in this
very Central Hall, have had
discussions with many of you.
Often we agreed, sometimes
we disagreed. But we learnt to
respect each other. And that is
the beauty of democracy.
I grew up in a mud house,
in a small village. My journey
has been a long one, and yet
this journey is hardly mine
alone. It is so telling of our
nation and our society also.
For all its problems, it follows
that basic mantra given to us
in the Preamble to the
Constitution – of ensuring
Justice, Liberty, Equality and
Fraternity and I will always
continue to follow this basic
mantra.
I bow to the 125 crore
citizens of this great nation
and promise to stay true to the
trust they have bestowed on
me. I am conscious I am
following in the footsteps of
stalwarts such as Dr. Rajendra
Prasad, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan,
Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, and
my immediate predecessor,
Shri Pranab Mukherjee, whom
we address out of affection as
‘Pranab Da’.
Our Independence was the
result of efforts by thousands
of patriotic freedom fighters
led by Mahatma Gandhi.
Later, Sardar Patel integrated
our nation. Principal architect
of our Constitution Babasaheb
Bhim Rao Ambedkar instilled
in us the value of human
dignity and of the republican
ethic.
These leaders did not
believe that simply political
freedom was enough. For
them, it was crucial to also
achieve economic and social
freedom for millions of our
people. We would be
completing 70 years of our
Independence soon. We are
also well into the second
decade of the 21st century, a
century that so many of us
intuitively believe will be an
Indian century, guided and
shaped by India and its
accomplishments. We need to
build an India that is an
economic leader as well as a
moral exemplar. For us, those
two touchstones can never be
separate. They are and must
forever be linked.

Ramnath Kovind Sworn in India's as 14th President
3. The sixth economic census, released by
ministry of statistics and programme imple-
mentation, presents a worrisome picture of the
status of women entrepreneurs in the country.
The survey shows that women constitute only
13.76% of the total entrepreneurs, i.e., 8.05
million out of the 58.5 million entrepreneurs.
Another revelation is that out of these entrepre-
neurs, 2.76 million women (34.3% of the total
entrepreneurs) work in agriculture sector
whereas 5.29 million females (65.7% of the
total entrepreneurs) work in non-agricultural
sectors.
This grim picture of women entrepreneur-
ship can be reversed if the Direct Selling
Industry in our country is developed like other
countries such as Malasiya, Singapore,
Germany and others. Ms. Kavita Sugandh is an
Independent Representative (IR) of one such
Direct Selling company – QNet and her moti-
vating story demonstrates how a small-town
girl makes it big by switching from a regular
job with a salary of Rs. 35,000 a month to
entrepreneurship with an average monthly
income of Rs. 35,00,000! Here are some
excerpts from an exclusive interview with Ms.
Kavita.
Question: Tell us about your journey
from a small-time job to that entrepreneur-
ship
Answer: I was born in Raipur, Chhattisgarh,
studied from Nagpur and hail from a very aver-
age middle class Indian family. My father
encouraged me to start earning from a very
early age. Hence, I was working with a Nursery
while I was studying in Nagpur and supported
the Nursery as a teacher. After my graduation, I
joined Hutchson Max (Now Vodafone) and
then switched jobs across Aditya Birla
Insurance and finally Kotak Mahindra Bank.
Around 2006, I decided to quit my job and start
working for myself. I tried my luck with my
own business doing consulting for two years
and in 2008 someone introduced me to QNet.
After that there was no looking back.
Question: So how long have you been
associated with Direct Selling / Q Net?
Answer: From 2008. I started with QNet as
an Independent Representative (IR) and then
worked very hard for four long years. By 2012,
our team grew and I shifted base to Dubai to
build a team here. Between 2012 to 13, I shuf-
fled between India and Dubai multiple times
but by 2013, the India team was self sufficient
and I started working based out of Dubai from
2014.
Question: How big is your team now?
Answer: The team is now close to 25,000
IRs. We also have 1.75 lakh customers who
regularly purchase products of QNet.
Question: What was your last drawn
salary and how much do you earn now?
Answer: I used to earn a salary of Rs.
35,000 in Kotak Bank – my last job. Now the
going is good and I have an average monthly
income of close to 35 Lakhs.
Question: What about settling down and
planning a family.
Answer: Everyone has to make a choice and
I made mine. I have a family of two lakh peo-
ple (My IR team members and the customers of
the products). We are like the family and I take
care of my team, train them and watch them
succeed.
Question: Does one really need to work
hard when it comes to entrepreneurship
Answer: There is no substitute to hard work.
We used to work 18-20 hours a day all 7 days a
week. In three – four years, I was never unwell
except for once when I was in the hospital for a
week. Even then, I used to work from the hos-
pital instructing my team members.
Question: Your advice to the young gen-
eration
Answer: In India, females are always dis-
suaded from working hard, taking up a career
or being ambitious. We celebrate Woman’s day
because we don’t consider women as equal to
men. I would strongly advice everyone to give
an equal status to women, let them decide their
career, their profession and encourage them
while they opt for entrepreneurship.
3Country And politicsCOLUMN
31 July To 06 Aug., 2017
The tradeoff between
‘communalism’ and ‘corrup-
tion’ has reached a decisive
stage in India. Since the
Bofors scandal, the con-
stituency of secularism has
shrunk and that of ‘commu-
nalism’ has expanded continu-
ously. It is a sad spectacle that
at a certain point, to save ‘sec-
ularism’, persons of secular
credentials had to defend peo-
ple steeped in corruption.
In the context of Bihar,
even though the fodder scam
was out of the radar, the pres-
ent spate of scandals sur-
rounding Lalu Prasad and
family created great discom-
fort in the mahagathbandhan.
Sushil Modi bared one scan-
dal after another, creating a
massive dent in the mahagath-
bandhan’s image in general
and that of chief minister
Nitish Kumar in particular. By
dissolving the mahagathband-
han ministry, Nitish has stolen
BJP’s thunder. In the realm of
administration, the mahagath-
bandhan could not recreate
the magical performance of
earlier two terms of the NDA
government in Bihar. Nitish
initially did not have the natu-
ral captive constituency of
Lalu, but over the years he
could build massive pan-
Bihar social support riding on
the agenda of development.
This agenda was further sus-
tained when it was tied to pro-
bity and ‘zero tolerance’ to
corruption and crime. The tri-
pod of development, probity
and crime containment could
build ‘Brand Nitish’, with
national and international res-
onance. In his third term,
unlike BJP’s complete com-
mitment in earlier two terms,
foot soldiers of RJD continu-
ously sniped at Nitish because
they could not get leeway in
influencing the administra-
tion. The trauma of associa-
tion with RJD was on public
display when Shahabuddin,
after his release on bail, made
fun of Nitish with tacit sup-
port from his party’s high
command.
Ironically Tejashwi Yadav,
Lalu’s younger son who was
deputy chief minister,
appeared to be a symbol of a
reinvented RJD. He seemed to
defuse the crisis between RJD
and JD(U), which indicated
the mahagathbandhan might
complete its full term. But the
sudden surfacing of a spate of
scandals involving Lalu’s
family put a big question
mark before its legitimacy.
Even the deputy chief min-
ister, who had earlier received
opprobrium from many quar-
ters, was embroiled in the
scandal directly. Being very
young he could have resigned
and got himself legally
absolved, because he has a
long innings to play in the
state. One cannot run the gov-
ernment on the basis of leg-
islative majority only. Prime
Minister Rajiv Gandhi with
400 plus members of parlia-
ment, or Lalu Prasad with
huge social support in the
early 90s, frittered away their
moral hegemony because they
could not fight the allegation
of corruption.
In a big jolt to the
Pakistani government, its
Supreme Court ordered the
disqualification of Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif over
the Panama Papers case.
Following the judgment,
Sharif stepped down from
office, yet again failing to
complete a full term as
Pakistan’s premier. It will
be recalled that last year the
International Consortium of
Investigative Journalists
had leaked documents from
Panama-based law firm
Mossack Fonseca, which
indicated Sharif’s children
may own at least three off-
shore companies registered
in the British Virgin Islands.
These companies were
involved in dealings that
suggested the Sharifs
owned assets beyond their
known sources of income.
The Joint Investigation
Team (JIT) constituted by
Pakistan’s Supreme Court
to probe the matter earlier
this year maintained that the
Sharifs failed to produce
information that would clar-
ify their assets. It’s on the
basis of the JIT report that
the adverse court ruling
against Sharif was deliv-
ered. With Sharif’s PML-N
holding a comfortable
majority in Pakistan’s
national assembly, the
Pakistani government does-
n’t face an existential crisis.
Nonetheless, with only a
year to go for elections in
Pakistan, Sharif’s ouster
will surely initiate a politi-
cal churn in that country.
While the evidence may
indeed point to illegalities
committed by Sharif and his
children, Pakistan’s judici-
ary tends to crack down on
political corruption while
leaving misdemeanours
committed by other influen-
tial sectors of society
untouched. It has a poor
record when it comes to, for
example, conviction of ter-
rorists. The overall effect of
this tendency is to strength-
en the army and security
establishment vis-à-vis
civilian institutions.
Sharif’s dismissal, too, will
reinforce the army’s lever-
age over the civilian gov-
ernment. This may not mat-
ter very much when it
comes to India-Pakistan
relations where, in any case,
the army holds the cards.
But it will weaken already
fragile civilian democracy
in Pakistan.

New Delhi, To mark the occasion of World
Head & Neck Cancer Day on 27th July this year,
Dharmashila Narayana Superspeciality
Hospital, which is managed by Narayana
Health, organized a series of week-long activi-
ties that included oral cancer screening camps,
educational program for doctors, awareness
talks and cancer survivors meet. The program
was themed as ‘Samarpan – sangeet se swasthya
ki aur’that touched upon various aspects such as
prevention, early detection, cancer support
group and rehabilitation of patients who have
undergone different types of head and neck can-
cer of which Oral cancer is the most common.
This initiative led by Dr. Anshuman Kumar,
Director – Surgical Oncology at Dharmashila
Narayana Superspecility Hospital witnessed
participants in large numbers from various parts
of Delhi and NCR region. The special training
program comprised of doctors from dental col-
lege, chief medical officers from various gov-
ernment organisations such as ESIC, dentists
and ENT surgeons who were informed about
early detection and screening for ailments relat-
ed to Head and Neck Cancer. Dr. Anshuman in
his awareness talk focussed on ‘lifestyle man-
agement skills’ and enlightened the participants
on being aware of their lifestyle and habits with
an emphasis on prevention being better than
cure. He said, “Early diagnosis is very important
for better treatment outcomes. Cancer is consid-
ered as a taboo in society and thinking of it as a
life-threatening disease must be removed from
the minds of people as today medical science
and technology has advanced to create many
new possibilities for accurate diagnosis and
treatment of cancer”. Speaking about
‘Samarpan’ – the annual program at
Dharmashila Narayana Superspeciality
Hospital, Dr. Anshuman said, “The goal is to
encourage individuals who are at risk of oral
cancer and other types of head and neck cancers
to take remedial measures and attend screening
camps conducted regularly at the hospital.

Forty-five years ago, the Club of Rome, an
organisation of individuals who share a common
concern for the future of humanity, published a
study, The Limits to Growth, which initiated a debate
about the impact of unlimited growth in population
and demand for goods in a world with finite
resources. The report was based on a study by
researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology who used a computer model to track the
world’s economy and environment.
Focusing on industrialisation, population, food,
use of resources, pollution and modelled data up to
1970, they developed a range of scenarios up to
2100, taking into account steps taken to address envi-
ronmental and resource issues. Without serious
action, the model predicted “overshoot and collapse”
before 2070. The Limits to Growth generated contro-
versy. Not because the questions it raised about the
problems of population control, environmental
degradation, and resource exhaustion were unimpor-
tant, but because of its methodology: the reliance on
computer models and its “doomsday” conclusions.
Averting “overshoot and crash” scenario, the
study noted would require policies and investments
in technology to alter the course. Essentially this
1970s study viewed economic growth as inimical to
environmental protection and resource conservation.
In the 1970s, this would mean foreclosing the path to
economic growth and consigning billions to poverty
forever The social consensus was in favour of eco-
nomic growth.
Beginning in the late 1980s, this gave rise to the
concept of sustainable development. This approach
argued that economic growth can be compatible with
environmental protection and resource conservation.
The global conversation was also beginning to focus
on climate change.
“For a long time, the discussion on environment
focused on climate change. It was as if there is only
one environment brain cell. Now there is a growing
realisation that climate change is important, but the
resource crisis is becoming important as well,” said
Astrid Schomaker, director for global sustainable
development, environment directorate-general,
European Commission. The focus on climate change
and sustainable development led to a re-engagement
on the question of ensuring economic growth with
the least impact on the environment. The resulting
concept of resource efficiency calls for the use of
natural resources in a sustainable manner and min-
imising impact on the environment. This approach
does not suggest limiting growth but provides a path-
way to promote production using fewer natural
resources. The Sustainable Development Goals
adopted by all countries in 2015 recognise the need
to address this issue, hence the focus on resource
efficiency.

NEW DELHI:
Controversial Islamic preach-
er Zakir Naik has been
declared a proclaimed offend-
er, and the process to attach
his assets has been initiated,
the National Investigation
Agency (NIA) said on Friday.
It added that the order
declaring Naik a proclaimed
offender was issued recently
by a special court in Mumbai,
after which the process of
asset attachment was started.
Look at the TV channels,
the kind of support from
Muslims for Zakir Naik is
nauseating. One gets the feel-
ing that these creatures are
misfit for a democratic sys-
tem. Their loyalty lies with
religion ... Read More Naik is
being probed by the NIA for
alleged terrorism and money
laundering. He fled India on
July 1, 2016, after one of the
terrorists involved in the
Dhaka cafe attack said he was
"inspired by Naik's speeches
on waging jihad". Naik is
accused of spreading hatred
through provocative speeches
and laundering crores of
rupees over the years.

9. NEW DELHI : Public pri-
vate partnership (PPP) is the
need of the hour given the
budgetary constraints of the
government. It was imperative
that the stakeholders including
the government, private sec-
tor, investors and banks work
in tandem and weed out the
obstacles and create a Model
Concession Agreement
(MCA) which accounts for all
the risks, issues and spells out
a framework for effective
implementation of a PPP, said
Mr. Nitin Gadkari, Minister
for Road Transport, Highways
and Shipping, Government of
India, at the fifth India PPP
Summit organized by FICCI
in association with the
International Chamber of
Commerce (ICC) India.
Mr. Gadkari said that pub-
lic transport was now a priori-
ty and an efficient system was
being developed for smooth
movement of people via pub-
lic transport across states and
within cities. Public transport
running on biofuel and elec-
tricity was the focus of the
government as it would be
environment friendly and cost
effective. He added that bus
ports are on the anvil, which
would be on the lines of air-
ports offering world-class
amenities. Alluding to the
development of inland water-
ways, Mr. Gadkari said that
work has begun towards
developing inland waterways
in Ganga and Brahmaputra
rivers. The creation of water-
ways would bring down logis-
tics cost drastically and reduce
the time of transportation of
goods. He added that port and
rail connectivity work was
also being undertaken.
Having steered the country’s
first PPP project in
Maharashtra, Mr. Gadkari said
that PPP models in the past
have reaped results but they
were not optimally effective in
the current scenario. The need
was to bring about a transpar-
ent and corruption-free
process, investment-friendly
policies and adopt a time-
bound and result-oriented
approach.

The Two Kashmir !!!!
Deeksha Negi
Between the fierce wars and great destruction
Spread all over the world ,
Let's travel to one of the unexplored places on earth.
But be careful as you may get betrayed...
Because in the land of golden bird ,
Lies two truths.
The truths of two Kashmir .
One Kashmir is a valley of flowers ,
And one has a river of blood.
One sonamarg is an expense of exemplary beauty,
One kupwara where the trooper of nation face stone pel-
ters during their duty.
One is raising anti - national camps and terror lawns.
One Kashmir where the dream of unified India flows
One Kashmir where anti - national elements grows.
So it's the time to decide before you have a visit to ,
one of the most celebrated places on earth.
Which of the two Kashmir you love ?
You support and cherish ,
Which among the two you pursue as your world.......

10. WASHINGTON: A bipartisan
group of American senators have
sought enhanced cooperation with
India in Afghanistan, including
increasing New Delhi's role in helping
the Afghan security forces, a move that
could annoy Pakistan.
The lawmakers have introduced a
legislative amendment to the National
Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) -
2018 in the Senate to support their
demand.
India is one of the biggest providers
of developmental assistance to war-
torn Afghanistan.
The amendment seeks increasing
India's role in assisting the Afghan
security forces through logistics sup-
port, threat analysis, intelligence,
materiel, and maintenance support.
The amendment - if passed by the
Senate and implemented by the US and
India - could irk Pakistan as it opposes
any Indian role in neighbouring
Afghanistan.
The amendment was moved on
Thursday by senators Dan Sullivan,
Gary Peters, John Cornyn and Mark
Warner. Warner is the vice-chair of the
powerful Senate select committee on
intelligence, while Cornyn is the
Senate majority whip for the
Republican Party. They are also the co-
chairs of the Senate India Caucus.
The amendment asks defence sec-
retary Jim Mattis and secretary of state
Rex Tillerson to identify ways in
which India can take "security and
development related steps" in
Afghanistan.
It asks the Pentagon and the State
Department to find ways in which
India can support "targeted infrastruc-
ture development" and economic
investment in Afghanistan.

US lawmakers seek Increased Role for India in Afghanistan
WASHINGTON: American
forces successfully tried out on
Sunday a missile interception system
the US hopes to set up on the Korean
peninsula, military officials said fol-
lowing a trial just days after North
Korea's second test of an ICBM.
In the American test of the so-
called THAAD system, a medium-
range missile was launched from a
US Air Force C-17 aircraft flying
over the Pacific and a THAAD unit
in Alaska "detected, tracked and
intercepted the target," the US
Missile Defense Agency said.
It said this was the 15th success-
ful intercept in 15 tests for the
weapons system known as THAAD,
which stands for Terminal High
Altitude Area Defense. South Korea
said yesterday it will speed up
deployment of a THAAD battery on
its territory because of the latest
North Korean test of an interconti-
nental ballistic missile. Parts of the
THAAD defense system were
brought into South Korea under the
government of ousted president Park
Geun-Hye. But new leader Moon
Jae-In suspended deployment of the
programme last month, citing the
need for a new environmental impact
assessment. North Korea keeps on
test missiles and China keeps on con-
demn such tests. A common citizen
like me knew that the Chinese gov-
ernment is pretending. Because it has
his geo political ambitions by suppor.
However, South Korean Defense
Minister Song Young-Moo said yes-
terday that Seoul will now begin con-
sultations on the "tentative deploy-
ment" parts of the THAAD battery in
response to the latest North Korean
test.
The THAAD deployment has
infuriated China, which has long
argued it will destabilise the region.
US successfully tests missile Intercept System
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's ousted prime minister
Nawaz Sharif has passed the leadership baton to his
brother, ensuring the continuation of a dynastic political
system in a country where government has long been run
as a family enterprise. In Pakistan's stratified, semi-feu-
dal society, patronage and
kinship play a huge role in
politics, often dominating
ideology. Some analyst
estimates say that more
than half of seats — at both
national and provincial
level — have been passed
from father to son, brother
to brother, keeping the
business of politics firmly
within the family. Sharif
named his younger brother
Shahbaz as his successor to
the country's top office in a
defiant speech the day after
he was disqualified by the
Supreme Court on corrup-
tion charges. The move maintains the eponymous
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party's hold
on power, with Nawaz continuing to act as puppet mas-
ter from his position as head of the party. "The subtext in
all this is that Nawaz Sharif will still have an influence in
how things are carried out until the next election and per-
haps through the next election," said political analyst
Umair Javad. "This was his (Nawaz's) way of convincing
the party that this brand still exists." Shahbaz — current-
ly chief minister of Punjab province, the family's power
base — is expected to slide into his brother's vacated
National Assembly seat before being rubber stamped as
prime minister in a parliamentary vote.Meanwhile local
media has reported that Shahbaz is lining up his son
Hamza to take his position as Punjab chief minister,
though he too must first be elected to his father's provin-
cial assembly seat in a by-
election. "It's the confidence
of a political dynasty in its
power that's allowing it to
make all these moves," said
Badar Alam, editor of the
Herald magazine. "They feel
that in certain parts of the
country their dynastic hold is
so strong that no challenge
can uproot them." But some
warn that the PML-N will not
rally behind Shahbaz — con-
sidered less charismatic than
his older brother — in the
same way that it did Nawaz,
possibly fracturing the party.
"Nawaz has personal political
appeal in a way that his brother doesn't. I think that the
dynasty will fray under his brother," said journalist and
commentator Omar Waraich. Another power dynasty, the
Bhutto family and its Pakistan People's Party (PPP) lost
its footing after the 2007 death of its leader, the country's
first female prime minister Benazir Bhutto. Founded by
her father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the PPP was once a formi-
dable political force, dominating Pakistani politics for
nearly four decades. But since Benazir's assassination
and despite being nominally led by her son Bilawal, the
PPP has become a shadow of its former self.

MUMBAI: Given that all
tenders brought out by the cen-
tral government in recent years
have followed the process of
an e-auction, the Supreme
Court has asked the Indian
Cricket Board to reply in two
weeks why it thinks that a sim-
ilar method should not be
adopted to sell the Indian
Premier League (IPL) media
rights next month.
On Friday, the SC gave
BCCI a two-week notice to
reply. In doing so, the bench,
headed by Justice Deepak
Mishra, also put the onus on
ex-CAG Vinod Rai, the head
of the court-appointed
Committee of Administrators
(CoA) to submit his view. Rai,
who is widely credited for his
report on issue of licenses and
allocation of 2G Spectrum by
the UPA government, will
have to explain to SC why an
e-auction is not the best suited
process to sell the media rights
of the IPL, estimated to gener-
ate revenue in excess of
Rs18,000 cr. This comes in the
backdrop of a petition filed by
BJP leader Subramanian
Swamy, which was first report-
ed by TOI on May 5 this year.
"India has seen two of the
biggest scams in coal and
spectrum allocation over the
last decade due to non-trans-
parency in process of alloca-
tion. The economic value with
cricket rights is no less,"
Swamy said in his letter to the
Justice RM Lodha Committee
before approaching the SC.
The fraternity is divided on the
opinion whether there should
be an e-tender for sports rights,
a practice that has not been fol-
lowed in selling any of the
world's biggest sports proper-
ties. Those backing the process
say that "e-auctions ensure
greater process control,
increased transparency, shorter
lead times and generate an
extremely competitive price
discovery environment result-
ing in substantial gains for the
seller". The e-auction process
has also been followed by the
government of India for all
major auctions, something that
Swamy has mentioned in his
letter. However, the BCCI,
which evaluated the idea of an
e-auction, is convinced that
such a process will not allow
the IPL to maximize its rev-
enue to the fullest. The Board
wants anyone supporting the
idea of an e-auction to suggest
one positive aspect that could
emerge from the process. On
the contrary, BCCI believes
that e-auction will only result
in diminishing of revenue.
"BCCI will take a financial hit
here," say members. The
Board insists there's a differ-
ence in selling a sports proper-
ty and coal. "Cricket is not
coal. We'll certainly explain
this point in our reply," it says.
BCCI's clear logic is that if
anyone can suggest a single
beneficial aspect in e-auction
outside of "harping" on trans-
parency, it is willing to consid-
er the idea. "If transparency is
what everybody is looking for,
then there's international
agency Deloitte and law firm
Amarchand Mangaldas look-
ing into it. That aside, there'll
be a team looking into the
technical aspect of the bid. The
bids will be opened in front of
the media with all levels of
scrutiny in place," say BCCI
officials.
BCCI on e-auction: Cricket is not coal
Aditi Ashok improved
greatly on her first round
showing with a one-under 71,
but that was not enough to
make the cut in the Aberdeen
Asset Management Ladies
Scottish Open.
Aditi was drawn in the
worst weather on first day and
ended with an eight-over 80,
which was her worst in the
entire season on the LPGA.
After a 71 in the second round,
she was seven-over 151 and
missed the cut.
The conditions took a toll
as the cut was five-over, with a
number of notable names
missing out including former
world No. 1 Lydia Ko and
Caroline Hedwall.
Aditi is now due to play the
Women's British Open, her
fourth Major this season. She
made the cut in two of them.
Cristie Kerr fought back
from a poor start to her second
round to lead after 36 holes at
five-under-par. Kerr battled
the strong winds to shoot a
one-over par 73 and leapfrog
Karrie Webb to sit atop the
leaderboard.
A double bogey at the par-
5 third hole, as well as bogeys
on six and 11 saw Kerr quick-
ly falling down the leader-
board midway through her
round.
Sei Young Kim is two-
shots back of Kerr after a
respectable round of even par,
despite having a double bogey
and two additional bogeys on
her scorecard. Fellow Korean
Sun Young Yoo also finds her-
self at three-under par for the
tournament.
Pornanong Phatlum sits a
shot further back at two-under
par. Phatlum made three
birdies and four bogeys to
shoot 73. The only other play-
er under par is Iceland's Olafia
Kristinsdottir at one-under
par, after a round of 70.

MADRID: Cristiano
Ronaldo faces a brutal return
to Madrid before starting pre-
season training with Real
Madrid as he is expected in
court on Monday, accused of
evading millions in taxes.
The 32-year-old - the
world's highest paid athlete
according to Forbes magazine
- will be questioned by a
court in Pozuelo de Alarcon,
a wealthy suburb of Madrid
where he lives, over allega-
tions he evaded 14.7 million
($17.2 million) in tax.
The Portuguese star fol-
lows in the steps of his arch-
rival, Barcelona forward and
Argentina star Lionel Messi,
who was found guilty of the
same offence last year,
although the sums involved
were smaller.
Madrid's public prosecu-
tors accuse Ronaldo of hav-
ing taken "advantage of a
company structure created in
2010 to hide income generat-
ed in Spain from his image
rights from tax authorities".
They say this was a "vol-
untary and conscious breach
of his fiscal obligations in
Spain". Prosecutors accuse
the four-time world player of
the year of evading tax via a
shell company based in the
British Virgin Islands and
another in Ireland, known for
low corporate tax rates.
In addition, they say the
Real Madrid striker only
declared 11.5 million euros of
Spanish-related income from
2011 to 2014, while what he
really earned during that time
was close to 43 million euros.
And finally, they accuse
him of "voluntarily" refusing
to include 28.4 million euros
in income linked to the sale
of his image rights for the
2015 to 2020 period to a
Spanish company.

Maria Sharapova gets
Cincinnati wildcard
LOS ANGELES: Maria
Sharapova was Thursday
handed a wildcard into the
Cincinnati WTA tournament,
a key warm-up for the US
Open, the season's final
Grand Slam which has yet to
guarantee the Russian star a
place. Former world number
one and five-time Grand
Slam title winner Sharapova
is still rebuilding her career
following a 15-month dop-
ing ban which ended in
April. Injury then ruled her
out of contention for
Wimbledon where she had
been due to play qualifying
after French Open organisers
had refused her a wildcard.

The accused has been identified as Jabiuddin
Mohammed Nuruddin alias Jaibuddin alias Tabrez,
30, and his associate Arun Kumar Gangappa alias
Arun Kumar, 36, of Mahalakshmi Layout. In three
months they striked in 17 police stations and robbed
29 Women's Chains in different places. DCP South
Zone, Dr.S.D.Sharanappa said,as there was a spur in
chain snatching in south zone and across city as about
12 chain snatching reported in south zone in various
police stations and to curb the menace a crime review
meet was called and ACP Srinivas formed a special
crime team, under the supervision of PI of Jayanagar,
Uma Mahesh and his crime team swung into action
the team visited the scene of crime and during investi-
gation they started analysing the CCTV footage from
the scene of crime and from one spot we got one clear
CCTV footage of culprits and based on the CCTV
footage our crime team got a major breakthrough as
with the clear picture of the culprit our crime team got
to know that they are habitual offenders, and based on
database and with other investigating skills the crime
team nabbed the notorious culprits.And the team
grilled them from which they spilled the beans and
confessed the crime they told that they wanted to start
up a business and wanted to settle in life by develop-
ing APP which will be useful for school and colleges
students and for this they approached a APP develop-
er and he said them that to develop a APP 2 lakhs is
recovered so for this they both planned to snatch 4
chains but as they started from March they ended with
29 chain snatching and to commit crime they first lift-
ed a gear less motor cycle from a eatery shop in
malleswaram.Tabrez suggested his partner that using a
stolen vehicle for robbery is a good idea to hoodwink
police. As per the plan, Arun stole a gearless scooter
parked outside an eatery in Malleswaram and fixed a
duplicate licence plate of a similar vehicle listed for
sale on an online website.They both are jailmates and
when they came out, they joined hands to start a busi-
ness for which they needed Rs 2 lakh. With no cash
in hand, the two ventured into robbery again. But their
free run ended recently; both are now cooling their
heels in jail and based on their statement we have
recovered 1.2 kg of gold worth Rs 35 lakh from their
possession he added. Praveen Sood, Commissioner of
Police said, a team under Sharanappa DCP South was
constituted with 15 members.They happened to get a
good CCTV picture and on the basis of that CCTV
picture and lot of other investigation they were able to
arrest two people one Tabrez and another Arun
Kumar. So we have arrested this two people and
recovered almost 1.2 kgs of gold worth about Rs.35
lakhs.These offences are all committed in last 3
months.In south 12 cases in West 9 cases,North 6
cases and North-east 1 and south - East,1 spread over
17 police stations and Jabiuddin is involved in nearly
49 cases, including murder and chainsnatching.
Two Notorious Hardened Criminals Arrested by Jayanagar
Police Recovered 1.2 kg of gold worth Rs.35 lakhs .

We have supported the peaceful man-
ners for the solution to our problem by
accepting the DGHC in 1988 and GTA in
2012. However, both these understanding
was a design to mislead us. However,
having faith on the federal structure of the
country we did not take up arms or vio-
lent means to push forward and fulfill our
demand. However, the imposition of the
Development Boards, and printing of
ration and health cards in Bengali was
protested but only by section of the peo-
ple. But when the Government of West
Bengal is forcefully trying to impose
Bengali as a language that needs to be
learned by the students compulsorily,
when we have Nepali language which is
also listed and recognised in the 8th
Schedule of the Indian Constitution it was
beyond the patience of any Gorkha living
in the hills of Darjeeling or in any part of
the country. Since language is the root of
our culture and a binding force it was
realised that the design and intention of
the state government was to attack the
root of our culture, which is not accept-
able to anyone of us. The cultural hege-
mony and imperialism that the govern-
ment is trying to force on us has led to
widespread protest. This has culminated
into police action, lathi charge, police fir-
ing and disruption of daily lives of the
people.
Since 15th May 2017, the day of the
language imposition upon the Gorkhas in
the areas of Darjeeling, Kalimpong,
Mirik and Kurseong; there has been wide
democratic protest from all sections of the
society. Civilians have taken to the streets
to protect the right to their language and
the Constitution of this great country
which has been put to such petty political
instrumentation by the West Bengal Chief
Minister, Ms. Mamta Banerjee. On the
other hand, outraged by the Gorkhas’
protest, the Chief Minister has been quick
to impose a profusion of suppression
methods that qualify only as indiscrimi-
nate and hegemonic. And in every core
principle, her methods give a headlong
challenge to the fundamental rights of
Indian Citizens and brazenly try to put an
end to their basic human rights of expres-
sion and self-determination with an iron
hand of oppression.
Gorkha people have been demanding for a
separate state of Gorkhaland since 1907

NEW DELHI: The govern-
ment plans to gradually with-
draw all the incentives for the
renewable energy sector over the
next five years, a move that may
face stiff opposition from an
industry that is to see significant
growth in the coming years.
"There will be no targeting
of renewable energy after 2022,
and we will allow markets to
determine the prices as well as
kind of support the sector needs
to sustain and integrate itself
with the mainstream," a senior
government official told ET. The
move is in line with the holistic
draft National Energy Policy
(NEP) drawn up by official think
tank Niti Aayog, which has rea-
soned that the sector does not
need any handholding after 2022,
the official said.
Reasoning the move, the offi-
cial said a base load is needed to
support the generation of renew-
ables. "This comes at a cost of
traditional electricity which
therefore gets expensive." NEP,
which is to replaced Integrated
Energy Policy of the previous
UPAregime, aims to provide lev-
elplaying field for all sectors and
hence is batting for withdrawal
of all kinds of support to the
renewables also.
According to Niti Aayog's
draft NEP, the sharp reduction in
tariffs received in bids for solar
and wind power is a reflection
that these technologies are now
exposed to market discipline and
that there is a need to now
address other lagging renewable
sources such as hydro and bio-
mass.
"Therefore, the NEP propos-
es gradual withdrawal of the pro-
visions of 'must-run' status and
other supports such as non-levy
of inter-state transmission
charges," the draft policy said.
Under 'must run' status, any
power generated by wind and
solar power plants should always
be accepted by state power distri-
bution companies.
NEW DELHI: Several
broadband connections of
state-run MTNL have been
impacted in the national capi-
tal after a malware attack.
The issue, which company
officials claim is "under
control now", impacted
services at many house-
holds with malfunctioning
of the broadband services.
The impact on enterprise
connections is still not
clear, though sources say
that operations were also
impacted there.
A top official at MTNL
said that the company had
noticed the issue since
Thursday. "We have been
taking action to sort out the
matter, and are confident that
the issue will be rectified very
soon," the official, who
requested anonymity, said.
The financially-strapped
telco, which is struggling to
stay afloat, said that it is
adopting a variety of meas-
ures to tackle the issue. "The
modem has to be re-configu-
rated to manage the prob-
lem."
For subscribers who are
calling its helpline, the com-
pany is providing immediate
"on-phone rectification"
helpline. "We are also con-
tacting subscribers on our
own. Apart from this, we are
also replacing the modem of
subscribers where there is a
serious issue due to the
malware." MTNL is also
advising its customers to
follow certain steps to re-
boot the modem. "There is a
reset button on every
modem that needs to be
pressed for a few seconds.
This is equal to taking the
system on to the factory set-
tings mode." The telco has
not been able to detect the
origin of the malware
attack. Asked whether the
company is also coordinating
with the Ministry of IT to
look into the matter, the offi-
cial said he is not aware of
any such exercise.

NEW DELHI: India is
likely to raise its concern
over being bundled with a
handful of countries the
World Bank conducts field
visits to verify claims of busi-
ness reforms before the annu-
al ease of doing business
rankings are compiled.
Of the 190 countries sur-
veyed for its Doing Business
Report last year, only 34
countries were visited by
World Bank officials "to col-
lect missing information or to
verify the implementation of
reforms."
The Indian government
may soon write to the World
Bank over the matter citing
all laws and evidence shared
with the World Bank for the
global survey, a senior offi-
cial told ET. Ranked 130 in
last year's Doing Business
Report, India had raised con-
cerns over several of the
country's laws and reforms
not taken into account by the
World Bank.
While responding to the
survey this year, the govern-
ment flagged such issues cit-
ing examples of reforms
undertaken for enforcing con-
tracts, starting a business and
construction permits among
other parameters. Some of
these were not recognised by
the World Bank based on
feedback from field visits.
"At the beginning of each
report cycle, the team draws
up a list of economies that are
implementing reforms, where
collecting data is more chal-
lenging than in others, and
which the team did not visit
recently. Economies to be
visited are then identified
based on these criteria," said
Nadine Abi Chakra, Doing
Business team member,
World Bank.

field checks on reforms
NEW DELHI: The government
may not be averse to the prospect of
allowing overseas carriers to bid for
stakes in Air India, according to a
senior government official.
"This (sale to foreign airlines) was
one of the options suggested in the
presentation made to the ministerial
panel by the aviation secretary," said
the official. "The ministerial panel
did not object to the idea of a foreign
partner for the national carrier and
foreign airlines could be allowed to
bid for the national carrier."
The discussion took place last
Friday at the first meeting of the
panel led by finance minister Arun
Jaitley that's looking into possible
options for Air India's disinvestment.
Others at the meeting included avia-
tion minister Ashok Gajapati Raju,
power minister Piyush Goyal and
railway minister Suresh Prabhu.
Analysts said Air India would
fetch a fair price if overseas airlines
are allowed to bid for it.
"Foreign airline equity participa-
tion up to 49% in AI's divestment will
be critical to achieve a successful
outcome for the government," said
Kapil Kaul, CEO, CAPA South Asia.
"Restricting foreign airlines will send
a wrong signal globally and signifi-
cantly constrain the number of inter-
ested bidders. Focus needs to be on
selecting the right suitor, which can
turn AI into a truly global airline and
help in maximising the economic
benefits including developing a large
airport hub in India."
Under the current rules, an over-
seas investor can own up to 100% of
an Indian carrier but a foreign airline
is limited to a 49% holding. Experts
suggested that overseas carriers may
partner Indian investors in a joint bid
for India's national airline.
"A lot of foreign airlines may tie
up with local Indian partners to bid
for Air India, if the government
allows foreign airlines to bid for Air
India," said Ankur Bhatia, executive
director of Bird Group, which has
interests in aviation.
"A foreign carrier in Air India will
bring international expertise and may
expedite Air India's revival."
The committee has also asked the
aviation and finance secretaries to
prepare a plan to address the `30,000
crore working capital debt of the
national carrier, the biggest concern
for any prospective bidder.
How about our country being run
by outsiders just like they want to sell
Air India to outsiders. Our leaders
and politicians are becoming worse
then clowns Of the carrier's Rs
52,000 crore total debt, the remaining
Rs 22,000 crore is against plane pur-
chases. Annual interest payments
amount to Rs 4,250 crore. The avia-
tion ministry is said to be working on
various options, one of which could
be to sell assets and subsidiaries to
clear the working capital debt but
some analysts said this may not be
the right way to go. "Each asset sold
would make the airline less lucrative
for the prospective buyer," said Amrit
Pandurangi, former director at
Delloitte and an aviation analyst.
"The government should look at other
means to address this debt and not by
selling the subsidiaries of the airline."

Green Energy may end in 5 years JioPhone launch
to expose Idea
Cellular's data
shortfalls
MUMBAI: Idea Cellular's
4G penetration, inferior to
that of Bharti Airtel and
Reliance Jio Infocomm,
will likely be further
exposed as the high-speed
broadband market expands
on launch of Reliance's 4G
featurephone, say analysts.
Nonetheless, similar to
market leader Bharti Airtel,
India's no. 3 telco will also
shun device subsidies or
phone launches to match
the JioPhone, Himanshu
Kapania, managing direc-
tor, Idea, is believed to have
said at an analyst call on
Friday.
