Vajpayee’s ashes dissolved in Beas river in Manali

by


Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and his cabinet colleagues on Sunday dispersed the ashes of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the Beas river at a function here.

Earlier, a prayer meeting to pay tributes to him was held at a tourist resort where Vajpayee constructed his house.

Hundreds of people paid homage to their beloved leader, who died on August 16 in New Delhi.

Paying tributes, Thakur called Vajpayee a visionary leader who was above party politics. His demise was indeed a great loss to the nation in general and Himachal Pradesh in particular.

He said Vajpayee has a special place in his heart for the people of the state and the state would always miss his love and benevolence.

Vajpayee always considered Himachal Pradesh his second home and has a house at Prini (near here). Whenever he got time from his busy schedule, he visited Manali and wrote some unforgettable poems there, the Chief Minister said.

The idea to construct the Rohtang tunnel connecting the landlocked Lahaul valley with the rest of the world was conceived by Vajpayee in 1998 and the project was announced by him on June 3, 2000, he added.

Thakur said that this project was nearing completion and would be the biggest gift of Vajpayee to the state.

Forest Minister and local legislator Govind Thakur said Vajpayee had special love for the people of the state in general and Kullu-Manali in particular.

Member of Parliament Ram Swaroop Sharma described Vajpayee as a world leader with a poet from the heart.

Congress-JD(S) war of words hint at problems in coalition govt

by


The war of words between former CM Siddaramaiah, who is also the chairman of the coalition government coordination committee and the JDS leaders has further escalated. On Sunday, Siddaramaiah and PWD minister HD Revanna were involved in a war of words.

In Mysuru, former CM Siddaramaiah took on CM H D Kumaraswamy by opting to reply to latter’s statement that some are trying to destabilise the government.
Siddaramaiah, responding to the same said that people making such vague statements must explain it themselves.

“Ask the questions to HDK; not to me. It was he who had made the statement,” he told the reporters adding that it is the people who have expressed their wish of seeing him (Siddaramaiah) as the CM of the state again.

The row erupted with Siddaramaiah reportedly saying that he wishes to become the CM of the state again and the coalition partner JD(S) raking up the statement, intending to say indirectly that Siddaramaiah is trying to topple the government for his own greed.

Meanwhile, PWD minister HD Revanna reacted sharply to Siddaramaiah’s statement. Speaking to the reporters, Revanna stated that coalition government is like a boat and few are trying to drown it. “But the boat will travel till God wishes,” he said.

But a few minutes later, Food and civil supplies minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan tried to end the row by saying that marriage between the JDS and the Congress has been registered and it will not collapse.

Astana holds 1st Asian championship for Kazakh wrestling

by


About 80 wrestlers from 11 countries gathered here for the first Asian championship of “kuresi,” or traditional Kazakh wrestling.

“Today in Asia’s first kuresi competition, countries such as Sri Lanka, Japan and Iran are participating for the first time,” Energy Minister and head of the international traditional Kazakh wrestling federation, Kanat Bozumbayev, told Efe news on Sunday.

The aim of the event is to popularise the sport, which has been included since 2016 on Unesco’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List, not only in Kazakhstan itself but also in other countries.

“Our aim is to include kuresi on the list for the Los Angeles Olympic Games,” said Bozumbayev, regarding the Olympics to be held in the southern California city in 2028.

He said that kuresi, where the wrestlers confront each other on foot with the aim of simply downing their opponents and pinning them on their backs, is a sport that “is based on the fans, on the patriots, on those who are concerned about our history”.

That’s why, in the words of well-known Kazakh wrestler Ulan Ryskulov, Kazakh wrestling is different from other similar disciplines since “the kuresi athletes don’t deliver hard blows” against their adversaries and “the combat doesn’t continue after one of the rivals falls”.

Ersin Seytkazinov, who won the gold medal in the 82 kg class, applauded the celebration of the event.

“The Asian kuresi championship was very successful and very strong. Our main competitors have been athletes from Mongolia, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan,” Seytkazinov said.

DNA profiling Bill full of loopholes, violates privacy: Congress

by

 
The Congress on Sunday said the DNA profiling Bill prepared by the Narendra Modi government was full of loopholes and would violate the right to privacy in its current form. It termed the proposed legislation as “ill-conceived” and an attempt by the government to “strengthen the conformity that surveillance breeds”.

Congress Spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that the DNA profiling Bill was the latest in a series of attempts by the Modi government to “snoop and spy on ordinary citizens”.

“The introduction of DNA Technology (Use and Application) Regulation Bill, 2018, in a hush-hush manner, in the recently concluded monsoon session of Parliament is another attempt towards this mala fide objective,” Singhvi said.

“Surveillance breeds conformity. And this government is an absolute conformist government. The DNA bill is an attempt to strengthen this conformity,” he added.

He said that “fearing backlash” from opposition in the Rajya Sabha, the government withdrew the bill after listing it in the business of the House, but then it notified it in the business of the Lok Sabha, where it has a majority, at late night on August 8 and introduced it the next day.

Singhvi clarified that the Congress party was not in principle against DNA profiling, but the government should first bring a comprehensive data protection law “encompassing issues pertaining to all the sectors and ministries” after wide public consultations.

“The DNA Database could be another Aadhaar-like database, without adequate protection and safeguards. DNA samples can reveal more intrusive information about a person and hence there is a greater risk of this information getting misused,” Singhvi said.

The Congress leader pointed out that the A.P. Shah Committee on privacy has expressed its concerns on the issue of breach of privacy by DNA profiling.

“The Committee made several recommendations including ensuring safeguards against breach of data by the government, right of citizens against retention of data, notification and mandatory consent of data subject taken before sharing the data with third party, besides many. The bill does not seem to consider either of the recommendations,” he said.

Sushma has no job, spends time on people’s visas: Rahul

by


Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday said there is a monopoly of the PMO on the External Affairs Ministry and that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has no job except spending a lot of time working on people’s visas.

Speaking at an event in London in the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS), Gandhi said: “You notice one thing, everybody says that it is a great thing that India’s Foreign Minister spends a lot of her time working on visas.

“Do you realise what that statement means? It means the Foreign Minister has nothing better to do than get people visas. So, only there is the monopoly of the Foreign Ministry, and the PMO (Prime Minister’s Office) has monopoly over the Foreign Ministry.”

Sushma Swaraj really has nothing to do, though she is quite a capable lady, the Congress leader said. “If you actually give her the power to do something, she could probably break that monopoly (in the ministry).”

He maintained: “In India…if you’re seeing something that is not scaling in India, just look at the monopoly that is not letting that happen.

“If you bring in new voices, if you bring in business, if you bring in other think tanks and give them actual power in the Foreign Ministry, it’ll scale immediately.”
