aged India’s standing globally.”

Dear readers,
Three
years ago,
this day
in 2019,
a dream
became
reality.
The seed of First India
was sown in Rajasthan
when the state was about
to undergo a change of
power. At its inception,
there was apprehension
if a Jaipur based newspa-
per would be at par with
the national newspapers
that are printed out of
the political or financial
nerve-centres of the
nation. Over the past
three years, FI’s focus on
news, its critical stand
on various government
policies along with a sup-
portive stance on policies
and schemes that have
done wonders for the
people, have made us
win the trust and acco-
lades of our readers. As
a result we step hence in
the 4th year, as gradu-
ally the seed is growing
into a ‘tree’ with our
‘branches’ in New Delhi,
Mumbai and Lucknow.
We thanks our readers
for the support and hope
to continue to hold high
their trust in us.

accused has been found. The pregnant minor had
given a complaint against the accused in Kushalgarh

tions of POCSO. Kushalgarh CI Mahipal Singh Sisodia

the matter should be hushed up at the social level.
Meanwhile, the accused took away another girl from
the village to Gujarat. Now, there is a crisis as to who

ous to the rights abuse in its own

role during the cold war days but
the world is no longer the same.
Countries like India and China
are no longer poor countries and
cannot be dictated to. Uncle Sam
must recall former Prime Minis-
ter Indira Gandhi’s snub to Pres-
ident Richard Nixon and come to
terms with an India which has
grown more powerful and richer.
Before pointing a finger at In-

killings of innocents, mostly
Blacks and immigrants. After
last month’s shooting in Texas
in which 21 were killed, Presi-
dent Joe Biden said America
must act now. In response, more
shootings followed.
T
hewidespreadout-
rage over BJP
spokespersons’ re-
marks against
Prophet Muham-
mad should have a sobering
effect on the politics of hate
which the Bharatiya Janata
Party practices directly and
indirectly
. It has tried to pla-
cate Qatar, Kuwait, Iran and
Saudi Arabia by reaching out
to the respective governments
and suspending national
spokesperson Nupur Sharma
and expelling Naveen Kumar
Jindal,theother.Clarifyingits
position, the party stated that
“BJPrespectsallreligionsand
strongly denounces insult of
any religious personalities”.
Why Nupur was not ex-
pelled is a question which the
BJP will find difficult to an-
swer and also leave its inten-
tions on respect for all reli-
gions open to doubt amid in-
creasing claims over mosques
andotherhistoricmonuments
by the Hindus. Mere suspen-
sion of Nupur hints at a pos-
sible bigger role for her in the
near future. What is baffling,
however, is describing the two
national spokespersons as
“fringe elements”, especially
in the case of Nupur who was
even fielded by the BJP in Del-
hi elections. Even this action
is being condemned by BJP
zealots, the real fringe ele-
ments, who view it as suc-
cumbing to Islamic forces.
The BJP-led government is
caught in a bind. On the one
hand it has its fringe elements
persistingwiththeiranti-Mus-
lim rhetoric and on the other
it has to keep the Gulf coun-
tries in convinced about its
religious tolerance. The Arab
countries which form part of
the Gulf Cooperation Council
areIndia’smajorstrategicand
trade partners. Also, the num-
ber of Indians in these coun-
tries is nearly 1.36 crore. Real-
politik may force BJP to do
some course-correction.
BJP NEEDS TO CHECK
“FRINGE” ELEMENTS
Why Nupur was not expelled is
a question which the BJP will
find difficult to answer and
also leave its intentions on
respect for all religions open to
doubt amid increasing claims
over mosques and other
historic monuments by the
Hindus. Mere suspension
of Nupur hints at a

NEVER FORGET THAT YOUR
LIFE IS OF LIMITED TIME
ntrepreneurs, Employees,
and Students live in a con-
tinuously stressful life, in
today’s highly competitive
era. Entrepreneurs want to
achieve those turnovers and
profit numbers. Corporate
executives want to complete
those targets. Students want
to get good marks. House-
wives have to continuously
work for the ambition of hus-
band and children. At this
time one question arises, is
the purpose of our life just to
achieve ambitions like profit,
money, designation, good
scores? Let me give you an
example of a small event.
Oneverytensepersoncame
to a very well known monk.
The monk asked him the rea-
son for coming. The person
said “I am living a very trou-
bled life. I am working very
hard. I am working almost 18
hours a day
. I am constantly
engaged with thoughts of
workthewholeday
,justsothat
I could be superior to my col-
leagues. But still, my col-
leagues are one step ahead of
me even today
. I can’t achieve
myambition.Mywifeandchil-
dren are offended of me be-
cause I don’t have time to
spend with them. Please show
me the path for a successful
and happy life.” The monk lis-
tened to him very quietly and
asked him to come the next
morning at the bank of the
river. Second-day early morn-
ing that person came to the
bank of the river. Monk was
already present there. Monk
tookhimintotheriverandtold
him to dive into it. With lots of
amazement, the person did so.
As he drowned his head
into the water suddenly
monk grabbed his head from
the neck and kept it sub-
merged in water. The person
started panicking. He could
not even breathe properly
. As
the person was about to die,
the monk took his head out
of the water. The person was
so angry he started saying
bad words to the monk.
But the monk asked him
humbly “What did you expe-
rience while drowning in the
water?” The person replied,
“I could just think about how
I can save my life” The Monk
smiled and said “God has
given you such a beautiful
life. Only one thing is pre-
decided and yet unknown
and that is, the time of your
death. Then why so many
ambitions and why are you
living a life full of stress?
At that time that person got
true guidance and after that
started living his life happily
.
The ultimate moral is god
gifted this valuable life to us
only for one time. So, all of us
should appreciate our life
and enjoy it with maximum
happiness. We should keep
the stress of small problems
aside and should try to live
an excellent life.
PRESENTING A FEW
POINTS BELOW

z Workload should be limited
to our office time only. There
is no need to bring work-
stress to home. Time after
office hours are for family
and friends so use it wisely

z Similarly, there is also no
need to bring the stress
of home to the office also.
While being at office you
should keep your focus at
work at a 100 percent. Try to
give your best and you will
surely get success.

z Whether you are a student or
a housewife, there is no need
to take unnecessary stress.
Whatever you do, do it with
a cheerful mind. Low grades
don’t matter, what matters is
your intelligence and ardor,
which will help you in identi-
fying new directions.

z Never forget that your life is of
limited time. So work in such a
way that the society and your
friends will remember you.

THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: In deciding
the Rajya Sabha candi-
date, there has been an
amazing ‘check-mate’
politics going on be-
tween the BJP and its
ally JDU in Bihar. JDU
leader and Chief Minis-
ter Nitish Kumar had
given a very clear indi-
cation that he is not go-
ing to give ticket to the
Union Minister and Ra-
jya Sabha MP of his
party - RCP Singh. Then
there was talk that BJP
can give ticket to RCP,
but the BJP did not want
to upset Nitish under
any circumstances. The
BJP was apprehensive
that Nitish was betting
on the BJP on the pre-
text of RCP and if the
BJP took any step in re-
sponse, Nitish might
once again go with the
RJD. That is why BJP
too ignored RCP
.
Despite this, BJP took
care of politics and gave
ticket to Shambhu
Sharan Patel. Shambhu
Sharan Patel is not an
old leader associated
with any Sangh or BJP,
rather he was earlier in
JDU. But his most strik-
ing feature is that he
comes from the Dhanuk
caste, which is similar
to the Kurmi caste of
both the CM and RCP.
The majority of the pop-
ulation in the Kurmi
community is of Dha-
nuks. BJP played a gam-
ble by giving ticket from
a member of that com-
munity
. Nitish Kumar
countered BJP’s move
and gave ticket to JDU’s
Jharkhand president
Khiru Mahto. He is also
Kurmi and will work for
the politics of around 17
per cent Kurmi popula-
tion of Jharkhand. BJP
practices Kurmi politics
in Jharkhand through
its ally Sudesh Mahto’s
AJSU.NowJDUhasalso
played its hand there.
Will Nitish accomplish his vision of countering BJP?

The BJP was

that Nitish was

pretext of RCP
and if the BJP
took any step in
response, Nitish
might once again

istan slogans were
raised by supporters of
radical Sikh outfits as
well as that of Shiroma-
ni Akali Dal (Amritsar)

the 38th anniversary of
Operation Bluestar.
The marbled premis-
es of the Golden Temple

supreme temporal seat
of the Sikhs, echoed
with pro-Khalistan slo-
gans.
Many youths held
banners and placards
with ‘Khalistan
Zindabad’ written on
them.Theyworet-shirts
with the picture of slain
separatist leader Jar-
nail Singh Bhindran-
wale printed on them.
Pro-Khalistan slo-
gans were also raised by
activists of the Shirom-
ani Akali Dal (Amrit-
sar) outfit led by former
MP Simranjit Singh
Mann, who was also
present at the spot. He
raised the killing of
Punjabi singer Sidhu
Moosewala and de-
manded justice for the
family
. Operation Blue-
star was a military op-
eration carried out in
1984 to flush out the
militants from the Gold-
en Temple.
Elaborate security ar-
rangements were put in
place in Amritsar to en-
sure that the event
passed off smoothly
.
Jathedar of Akal
Takht Gyani Harpreet
Singh, in his message to
the Sikh community on
the occasion, said Sikh
preachers and scholars
need to visit the border
areas to promote Sikh-
ism and apprise the
youth about the rich
Sikh tenets and history
.
He also talked about
the need to fight the
scourge of the drug
menace which has af-
flicted many youths.
The Shiromani Gurd-
wara Parbandhak Com-
mittee (SGPC), the apex
religious body of the
Sikhs, displayed the
bullet-ridden holy ‘Sa-
roop’ (volume) of the
Guru Granth Sahib.
The ‘Saroop’, which
was installed in the
sanctum sanctorum at
that time, was hit by a
bullet during the mili-
tary action in 1984.

Justice to all, appeasement to
none is our hallmark: Nadda
Vijaywada: BJP Na-
tional President JP Na-
dda has said that India
was known as a ‘cor-
rupt state’ and that In-
dian polity had lost re-
spect before Narendra
Modi took the reigns
eight years ago.
“Today, India, a $3
trillion dollar economy,
is poised to grow to $5
trillion dollar in the fu-
ture due to the phenom-
enal transformation
brought about by the
BJP-led NDA govern-
ment at the Centre. Jus-
tice to all and appease-
ment to none is our hall-
mark. We launched a
full-fledged develop-
ment programme in
2014 and it is going to
achieve many wonders,
said Nadda on Monday
.
He was addressing a
meeting of intellectuals
on ‘Seva, Sushasan and
Gareeb Kalyan’ organ-
ised on the occasion of
completion of eight

ernment. BJP national

mation, malnutrition
and may cause long-

Ranchi: Rashtriya Ja-

mo Lalu Prasad has ap-
pealed before a special
CBI Court for release of
his passport in order to
renew it as he may need
to travel abroad for a
possible kidney trans-
plant, his counsel said
on Monday
.
The 73-year-old Pras-
ad on April 22 was
granted bail by
Jharkhand High Court
in the Doranda Treas-
ury Case involving em-
bezzlement of over Rs
139 crore in which a CBI
special court had sen-
tenced him to five years
in prison.
“Lalu Prasad has
prayed for renewal of
his passport. He has
pleaded before a special
CBI court that his pass-
port be handed over for
renewal. The applica-
tion mentions that after
renewal the passport
will be submitted to the
court,” Prasad’s coun-
sel Prabhat Kumar told
PTI.
Kumar said, “He has
taken the plea that it is
a case of kidney failure
and he may be required
to go abroad for treat-
ment or transplant”
and added, “If we get an
appointment from the
doctor then we will pray
for passport release and
permission to go abroad
for treatment.”

New Delhi: The story
of the ‘dog walker’ IAS
couple is a much dis-
cussed topic these days,
not just in bureaucrat-
ic circles but in the gen-
eral public too. The
‘dog walker’ IAS cou-
ple, it is alleged, used to
vacate the Thyagaraj
Stadium in Delhi for
‘morning walk’. Ath-
letes exercising and
practicing in the stadi-
um were asked to va-
cate the stadium before
7:30 so that the officials
could walk around
with the dog. An Eng-
lish newspaper re-
vealed this and in a
hurry, the government
transferred both of
them and sent the hus-
band to Ladakh and the
wife to Arunachal
Pradesh. This decision
of the government was
highly praised in social
media and a lot of
memes were also made.
But the question is
whether both have
been sent to Ladakh
andArunachalPradesh
as punishment for a big
mistake? Officers liv-
ing in Delhi generally
refer to postings in
these states as punish-
ment posting or com-
pulsion posting. But in
reality these two areas
are the most sensitive
areas for India. China
has an eye on both
Ladakh and Arunachal
Pradesh and its sol-
diers keep infiltrating
these areas every day.
China is trying to
change the geography
of these two areas and
is also plotting to
change the population
structure or regional
structure. Therefore, it
is extremely dangerous
proposition if such a
sensitive state is being
made a dumping
ground as a punish-
ment posting. As a rule,
only the best of the best
officers should be sent
to these two areas.
Are Ladakh and Arunachal regions now only a dumping ground of officials?

Jaipur: As the date of
voting for RS polls is ap-
proaching, the tension
of both the political par-
ties - Congress and BJP
- is increasing. After
Congress, now BJP has
‘imprisoned’ its MLAs
in a hotel in Jaipur for
the next 4 days in the
name of training. Dur-
ing this, senior BJP
MLA and LoP GC Ka-
taria has commented on
the Gehlot government
stressing that now BJP
but Congress that is in
powerthathastoengage
in ‘fencing’.
Kataria said, “The
way the MLAs had to be
rushed and lodged be-
hind doors 400 km away
from the headquarters
onJune2itself,theirmo-
biles, the internet had to
be switched off, it shows
that they are still afraid.
If we were afraid, Had
we organise a training
campwithoutanyworry
and in the open.”
Regarding the report
in ACB, he said, “He
(Gehlot) has taken this
decision only to scare
his MLAs.”
Interestingly, while
BJP legislators are
lodged in a hotel, RLP
MLAs will not enter the
‘badabandi’ however,
Kataria said that RLP
will definitely support
the BJP supported inde-
pendent candidate Dr.
Subhash Chandra.
Moreover, both the
messengers of the BJP
high command - Rajya
Sabhaelectionin-charge
Narendra Singh Tomar
and state in-charge
Arun Singh reached
Jaipur on Monday
. The
duo will address differ-
ent sessions and will go
through a round of dia-
logue with the MLAs.
Meanwhile, on the
other hand, claims of
breach in Congress are
being made by BJP
. Ka-
taria said, “We are leav-
ingnostoneunturnedto
win the second seat. CM
is unnecessarily brag-
ging about majority
. If
the MLAs are called by
theCMandtakenonthe
plane, it should not
meanthattheirdispleas-
ure has gone away
. Con-
gress and independent
MLAs are in touch with
ussinceamonth.Weare
in constant touch with
them. This time only the
Congress MLAs locked
in the enclosure will hit
the government. I won’t
name the MLAs. Gov-
ernment wants to win
elections with the help
of police sticks. Emo-
tions are high against
the government, and
will reach its culmina-
tion this time. Congress
party is horrified by the
anger of the MLAs.
Those whom the CM
considers as his own,
thistimetheywould dis-

has been working to fix
its decade old problems:
of getting its govern-
ment repeated in state
after 2023 Assembly
polls. In this connec-
tion, word is, that cabi-
net expansion of Gehlot
government is fixed af-
ter RS polls! There is a
strong murmur that
about 6 to 8 ministers
may be dropped pos-

also negligible.
‘Disgruntled’ BTP, Independents raise
demands, hope to pressurise govt
Shivendra Parmar
Udaipur: Despite per-
suading pacifying
most of the angry
MLAs of Congress
camp, three MLAs are
still reportedly angry
and adamant on their
demands. Independent
MLA from Behror
Baljeet Yadav isn’t
ready to go Udaipur.
Apart from Baljeet, two
BTP MLAs Rajkumar
Roat and Ramprasad
Dinder have also put
forward conditions for
extending support.
Apart from the de-
mands related to the
tribal area, the BTP
MLAs have demanded
withdrawal of cases of
Kankari Dungri move-
ment. The BTP MLAs
have said that support
will be considered
only after meeting the
demands related to
tribal interests.
Baljeet Yadav has
made the strictest de-
mand i.e. to implement
75% reservation for
youth of Rajasthan in
employment opportu-
nities within the state.
Independent MLA
from Sirohi Sanyam
Lodha reached Udaipur
on Monday
. Speaking to
First India, Lodha said,
“I am still sticking to
my point. 1 RS candi-
date should have been a
local from the state. CM
Gehlot is a magician, no
MLA can be angry with
him. No one has given
me any offer since BJP
leaders can’t talk to me.
Congress will win all
three seats and in fact,
BJP should keep its
MLAs safe.”
Meanwhile, Osian
MLA Divya Maderna
also reached Udaipur
on Monday. MLAs Da-
yaram Parmar, Deep-
ender Singh Shekhawat

Pratap Singh Khachari-

cused the BJP for creat-
ing such a situation that
the MLAs are being kept
in a camp. “Congress
will win on all 3 seats
any kind of horse trad-
ing will work. Kataria
is also lying, what can
be a greater sin than
this. The kind of lan-
guage BJP is speaking,
it is known that its con-
dition is weak. BJP has
lost the polls,” he said
while highlighting
State govt’s achieve-
ments. Challenging Dr
Satish Poonia, he said
that compare work of
3.5 years of Gehlot govt
and the work of 8 years
of Modi government,
the real situation will
come to the fore.

Udaipur: The unique style of CM Ashok Gehlot was
seen amid the fencing at Udaipur. Every night there is
a performance of songs and Antakshari programme
at Taj Aravali which goes on till late in the night but on
Sunday at 10 pm, the CM asked to switch off the mic
and speaker. PCC chief Govind Singh Dotasra and other
MLAs said they were inside the hall as such there was
no need to turn off the mic-speaker. But Gehlot got the
mic and speaker switched off saying the same rules
and regulations apply on everyone. On Sunday also, the
MLAs enjoyed cricket, tennis, badminton and swimming.

TIJARA FORT
The 19th-century fort
palace was abandoned
for over a century but is
now restored as a luxury
retreat. Tijara fort is just
a short drive from the
city of Jaipur in the Al-
war district. The stag-
gering terrace gardens
of the fort are at seven
levels beckoning the
Hanging Gardens of
Babylon. The fort over-
looks the expansive
fields surrounding it.
The palace has 70 rooms,
one restaurant, a swim-
ming pool, and a spa.
KHIMSAR FORT
While Aurangzeb was out
on his conquests, the fort
of Khimsar was his tem-
porary residence. The
16th-century fort lies on
the eastern edge of the
Thar desert, between the
district of Nagaur and
Jodhpur. Situated in the
middle of uninhabited
land, the sheer magnifi-
cence of the structure ris-
ing above the dunes is
awe-inspiring. As you

gazing opportunities.
ALILA FORT
The 230-year-old fortress
is an ultra-luxury prop-

fort stands tall atop a
granite hill with a 360-de-
gree view of the sur-

NEEMRANA FORT

15th-century fort of
Neemrana stands as an
icon of luxury today.
Neemrana Fort is one of
the premier heritage ho-
tels in Rajasthan. Situ-
ated between the Jaipur-
Delhi highway
, it attracts
visitors from both cities
looking for weekend es-
capes. The most promi-
nent feature of the fort
design is its many levels,
with 72 rooms at 14 lev-
els. You can spend an en-
tire day just exploring
and marvelling at the
property's features and

tired and want to relax,
take a dip in the gor-
geous swimming pool or
have a rejuvenating mas-

CASTLE
MANDAWA
The region of Shekhawa-
ti in Rajasthan is where
the stories of the desert
land are narrated in col-
ours. Every nook and cor-
ner is adorned with fres-
cos, wall art, and murals.
Castle Mandawa is per-
haps the best place to dis-
cover the legacy of Shek-
hawati art. Besides the
painted walls and ceil-
ings, the medieval tur-
reted towers, palanquin
roofs, cannons, and fami-
ly portraits are all part of
your stay at the castle.
