INDIA
03
First India Bureau
Lucknow: In the poli-
tics of India, any leader
is established as a lead-
er of a particular caste
only when he or she can
provide votes of his
caste to the candidate
of other caste instead
of himself or the candi-
date of his own caste.
Samajwadi Party Na-
tional President Akh-
ilesh Yadav contested
from Azamgarh seat in
the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-
tions.
He got more than 60
percent of the votes in
this Muslim and Yadav-
dominated seat. The
BJP had also fielded a
Yadav candidate, but it
got half of the votes
polled by Akhilesh.
Whatever votes the Ya-
davs had in Azamgarh,
almost one hundred
percent of the votes
went to Akhilesh. But
this does not establish
Akhilesh as the leader
of the Yadavs. It is not a
big deal for him or any
other Yadav candidate
of his party to get Yadav
votes.
The true test of his
‘political might’ will be
tested this time since he
has fielded a non-Yadav
candidate from Azam-
garh seat.
Akhilesh has given
ticket to Dalit leader Su-
shil Anand for the
Azamgarh seat that fell
vacant due to his resig-
nation. Sushil Anand is
the son of Balihari
Babu, a prominent Dalit
leader who was one of
the founders of BAM-
CEF.
Balihari Babu has
been in BSP for a long
time. Akhilesh has
played undertaken a
huge risk by giving tick-
et to his son. Keep in
mind that in the last as-
sembly elections, the
BSP had helped the BJP
by letting its core Dalit
vote go to the BJP. This
time Akhilesh has giv-
en ticket to a strong
Dalit leader who re-
mained in his party, to
counter the BJP’s strat-
egy. It will be interest-
ing to see whether the
Dalits of Azamgarh
vote for the candidate
of their own caste or do
they vote for the Mus-
lim candidate of BSP on
Mayawati’s appeal?
On the other hand,
BJP has once again
made Dinesh Lal Yadav
Nirhua, who contested
the elections last time,
as its candidate. He is a
big star of Bhojpuri
films. But could not
stand in front of Akh-
ilesh. So, this time Akh-
ilesh’s test is whether
he can prepare the Ya-
davs of Azamgarh to
vote for the Dalit candi-
date of SP over the Ya-
dav candidate of BJP.
On the other hand,
Mayawati’s test is
whether she is able to
prepare Dalits to vote
for the Muslim candi-
date of BSP over the
Dalit candidate of SP.
The outcome of this one
seat will decide a the po-
litical ‘swings’ in the
coming time.
Will Akhilesh and Mayawati prove their ‘salt’ in Azamgarh bypoll?

HC issues notices to CBI, govt
Subodh Jaiswal over petition
New Delhi: The Bom-
bay High Court on
Thursday issued notic-
es to the Central Bureau
of Investigation, the
Union government and
IPS officer Subodh Ku-
mar Jaiswal following a
plea challenging the lat-
ter’s appointment as the
CBI director.
A bench of Chief Jus-
tice Dipankar Datta and
Justice MS Karnik di-
rected the respondent
agencies and Jaiswal to
file their replies to the
plea by July 18.
The bench was hear-
ing a plea filed by Ra-
jendra Trivedi, former
ACP of the Maharash-
tra Police.
On Thursday, Trive-
di’s advocate SB Tale-
kar also submitted an
affidavit, stating that a
private complaint of
defamation was filed
against Jaiswal in 2012
and a magistrate’s court
in the city had taken its
cognisance and issued a
process against him.

davit on record. It will
hear the matter further

as the CBI director in
May last year.
In his plea, filed
through Advocate Tale-
kar, Trivedi has sought
that Jaiswal’s appoint-
ment as the CBI direc-
tor be quashed.
Trivedi in his plea
claimed Jaiswal’s ap-
pointment was in con-
travention of the Delhi
Police Establishment
Act, and sought that the
high court call for the
records and proceed-
ings of the three-mem-
ber committee that had
approved Jaiswal’s can-
didature.

MITHALI RAJ CALLS
IT A DAY, LEAVES
WOMEN’S CRICKET
ON A HIGH NOTE
ce woman cricketer
Mithali Raj has been
a prominent name in
the cricketing world.
As a batswoman she
has several achievements to her
credit and has been admired for
her batting skills. Her calling it
a day from all forms of interna-
tional cricket will leave a void in
Indian women’s cricket al-
though the new crop of Team
India players have the potential
they will take time to attain that
level of maturity
.
India has had some great
women cricketers. Diana
Eduljee, who captained India in
1978 and holds the record for
bowling the most number of
balls---5098---in women’s test his-
tory and Neetu David, the slow
left-arm spinner who was the
first Indian bowler to take 100
wickets in women’s ODIs, to
name just two.
They were quality players but
what keeps Mithali apart is her
batting prowess and competitive
attitude on the field. She is the
only Indian batswoman to have
scored a double century
.
A
here is no limit to
which linguistic
chauvinists won’t
stoop to. Hackles
of politicalleaders
and those from Kollywood, the
South Indian film industry
,
wereraisedwhenUnionHome
Minister Amit Shah batted for
HindiasanalternativetoEng-
lish in the country
. A debate
raged over the issue with
South Indian states aligned
against the suggestion to re-
place English with Hindi. It is
notthefirsttimethattheSouth
has taken a firm stand against
Hindi as a national language.
The first row started in Tamil
Nadu in 1937 when Hindi was
proposed to be introduced as a
compulsory subject.
It is the degeneration of the
discourse this time around
which is shocking and baf-
fling. Ruling DMK’s Rajya
SabhaMPTKSElangovansaid
thatHindiwasthelanguageof
Shudras.“Impositionof Hindi
will make us Shudras,” he
said.Hethenwentontoblame
Hindi for the under-develop-
ment of northern states.
To identify a language with
a caste and economic develop-
ment is a case of extreme in-
sensitivity
. First, like the rest
of India Tamil Nadu’s society
is as caste-riven as any other
in the country
. Before the As-
sembly elections in 2021 AI-
ADMK-BJP and the DMK
depended on caste formulas
targeting the over 20 percent
Scheduled Castes.
Linking language to devel-
opment is an absolutely bi-
zarre logic. If Kerala, Tamil
Nadu, Karnataka have done
well it is not because of Eng-
lish but due to successive
governments which created
the right eco-system for pro-
gress. States in north India
became laggards because of
religion, crime and corrup-
tion, lack of proper infra-
structure and connectivity
.
DON’T BLAME HINDI
FOR POVERTY
It is the degeneration of the discourse this time around
which is shocking and baffling. Ruling DMK’s Rajya Sabha
MP TKS Elangovan said that Hindi was the language of
Shudras. “Imposition of Hindi will make us
Shudras,” he said. He then went on to blame Hindi for
the under-development of northern states

QUAD - CHINA
AND THE PACIFIC
On the other hand,
Politically and
diplomatically, we should
ensure continued
international pressure at
China’s sore thumb like
South China Sea, Taiwan
and Hong Kong. We need to
continue to isolate China on
its insidious role in starting
the current pandemic and
strengthen the Quad and
other multilateral regional
groupings of like-minded
countries. Well, if India
achieves all this, it will
dominate the Asian
continent and will emerge
as a world leader
he much-publicised recent
Tokyo summit 22 of QUAD
conference held in the back-
drop of Russia - Ukraine con-
flict is opening vistas of a
new world order aligning US,
India, Japan and Australia.
Conceptualised by Japan in
2007 It was revived in 2017
with first ministerial level
meeting at New York in 2019.
According to experts, the
main undeclared objective of
the formation of QUAD is to
rein in the increasing influ-
ence of China in the Indo-
Pacific region and to develop
a strategy to protect trade sea
routes free of any control
amid China’s growing mili-
tary existence in the strate-
gic Indo-Pacific region.
While the leaders of the
four member countries of
QUAD seemed pretty sure of
achieving their goal, China
almost mocked them and saw
no reason to worry. Chinese
leaders termed it as merely
“a headline-grabbing idea”.
Beijing believed that all the
four leaders were pursuing
strategies that were too di-
vergent to be coherent.
As a military analyst, I be-
lieve that Chinese leadership
perceived that while America
is pressing ‘The America is
back Policy’ under Joe Biden
for existing and future allies,
Australia and Japan are in-
terested only in keeping the
sea trade routes open without
third parties political and/or
Military interference. And,
Indian vision is to neutralize,
contain and counter Chinese
intrusions and dominance in
the sub-continent.
Before we dwell further, let
us have a look at this region.
Theregionconsistsof 14coun-
tries: Australia, Bangladesh,
Burma, India, Indonesia, Ja-
pan, Malaysia, New Zealand,
the Philippines, Singapore,
South Korea, Taiwan, Thai-
land and Vietnam. The region
has main sea trade routes and
therefore, an engine of the
global economy and that is
why the clash of TITANS.
China has been opposed to
QUAD Since its very incep-
tion and sees it as a strategy
to prevent its global rise and
interests. Often, China has
termed QUAD as Asian
NATO. And since the dilution
of NATO during Ukraine
war, China is seemingly clear
that QUAD will also disinte-
grate when tested under eco-
nomic and resources pres-
sures on member countries.
So, is it that QUAD is
shrouded in fears of an obso-
lete Cold War perceptions of
yester years and a military
confrontation in Ukraine of
current times? May be.
Since a joint statement by
QUAD countries about ‘spirit
of the QUAD’ is issued, Bei-
jing is advocating the need
for openness, inclusiveness
and a win-win situation in
the region and international
systems. It is further advis-
ing to refrain from forming
“cliques like NATO QUAD.
Though, it refuses to accept
the same principles when it
comes to south China sea.
Therefore, to deal with the
challenges posed, China is
considering a double prong
pincer assault by forming an
institutionalize if not milita-
rize concept of a “Himalayan
Quad”—comprising China,
Nepal, Pakistan, and Afghan-
istan as a rival group, which
obviously will be no match to
QUAD but may suit the Chi-
nese design of rising to pow-
er with smaller groups,
neighbourhood politics, and
weaker countries that could
be a part and parcel of China
shaping a stronger world-
view across the region.
And secondly work on a
‘Debt Trap’ diplomacy on nu-
meroussmallislandcountries
in the Pacific region like Fiji,
Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu
and the Solomon. Xi knows
these nations are too poor to
service debt, yet he is ready to
lend the money to repeat a
Hambantota. Thereby
, strate-
gicallysurroundingAustralia
and dominating the sea trade
routes of Japan Australia
with rest of the world.
While this article is being
written,ChineseForeignMin-
isterWangYiisvisitingSouth
Pacific Island nations to ramp
up ties with the strategically
located island nations to fulfil
their aim of financially chok-
ing Australia and Japan with
its clear fall out on American
trade balance.
India amidst these testing
times has a crucial role to
play. While on one hand it
needs to step up deterrence
in military terms by deploy-
ing additional army strength
with state-of-the-art weapon
systems to counter the drag-
on to work out “no war pact”
with China and a time-bound
solution of our border issues.

Lucknow: The Con-
gress party made people
close to Rahul Gandhi
and Priyanka Gandhi
Vadra as Rajya Sabha
candidates.Amongthese
were a few leaders who
wereloyaltopartypresi-
dentSoniaGandhi,apart
from these two. So, those
who were loyal to the
family were nominated
in the Rajya Sabha. But
these days, there is more
discussion on social me-
dia about people who
were not accorded the
Rajya Sabha ticket, than
those who have been
handedone. Journalists,
political analysts and
evenbusinessmen,more
than Congress leaders
who were denied Rajya
Sabha tickets, sympa-
thize with those who
could not get Rajya Sab-
ha tickets.
For example, a busi-
nessman sympathized
with Milind Deora, for-
mer MP of Mumbai and
former Union Minister,
andsaidthathedeserved
a ticket. Many journal-
ists covering Congress
agreed with his tweet.
Keep in mind that in the
lastLokSabhaelections,
arenownedindustrialist
had appealed to vote for
MilindDeora.Yethewas
defeated. However, simi-
lar sympathy is for Con-
gress’ national spokes-
personPawanKhera.He
himself tweeted a line
that ‘Perhaps there was
a lack in my penance’.
There has been a lot of
debateaboutthisandthe
entire social media is di-
videdinfavourof Pawan
Khera. The third name
discussed in social me-
dia is that of Pramod
Krishnam. There is no
sympathy for him but he
is busy in proving the
Congress as anti-Hindu.
However, Ghulam Nabi
Azad, Anand Sharma
and Kumari Selja also
did not get tickets but
they are not being dis-
cussed much.
Gandhi family loyalists get RS ticket, but those
who were denied ticket are real newsmakers!

New Delhi (Agen-
cies): The number of
employed in India
jumped by one million
in May taking the total
number of employed in
the country to 404 mil-
lion and resulted in a
drop in unemployment
rates from 7.83% in
April to 7.12% in May,
the Centre for Monitor-
ing Indian Economy
said.
This is the second
consecutive month of
an increase in employ-
ment after an addition
of seven million in
April 2022, pushing up
the employment rate
marginally from
37.05%in April to
37.07% in May 2022.
“This suggests sta-
bility at the macro level
and a positive move-
ment of labour at the
sectoral level,” CMIE
said in its weekly la-
bour market analysis.
According to CMIE,
there was a big shift in
employment from agri-
culture to industry and
services in the last two
months. Employment
in agriculture declined
by 5.2 million in April
and another 9.6 million
in May, taking the total
dip in employment in
Agriculture in the last
two months to 14.7 mil-
lion.
On the contrary, in-
dustry provided 15.6
million jobs and ser-
vices provided another
7.2 million jobs over the
last two months, result-
ing in 8 million net ad-
ditional jobs in April
and May
.
“Industry and ser-
vices harness labour
more productively than
agriculture and there-
fore there is reason to
cheer this recent tran-
sition,” CMIE said.
CMIE data further
shows that the absorp-
tion of additional la-
bour within industry
, is
slightly in the favour of
manufacturing com-
pared to the construc-
tion sector.
Of the incremental
jobs in industry during
April and May 2022,
34% went to manufac-
turing compared to
32% in 2021-22 while the
share of construction
remained the same at
65% and the rest ab-
sorbed by utilities.
INDIA’S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DROPS IN MAY
Industry and services harness labour more

is reason to cheer this recent transition
REGULATORY ARCHITECTURE
ON DIGITAL LENDING SOON
Mumbai (PTI): The Re-
serve Bank of India will
soon come out with regu-
latory architecture for
digital lending plat-
forms, many of which
are unauthorised and il-
legal, Governor Shakti-
kanta Das said on Thurs-
day.
There have been in-
creasing cases of alleged
suicides of borrowers
due to harassment by a
few of the operators of
digital lending apps.
“I think very soon we
will be coming out with
a broad regulatory archi-
tecture, which should be
able to address the chal-
lenges that we are con-
fronted with regard to
lending through digital
platforms, many of
which are unauthorised,
unregisteredand,should
I say, illegal,” Das said.
Das on Wednesday
suggested that custom-
ers borrowing from un-
registered digital lend-
ing apps should ap-
proach the local police in
case of any issue.
Most of the digital
lending apps are not reg-
istered with the central
bank and operate by
themselves, he told re-
porters after announc-
ing the monetary policy.
Das said whenever it
gets a complaint from
any customer, the cen-
tral bank directs custom-
ers of such unregistered
apps to approach the lo-
cal police, which will
conduct an investigation
and take necessary ac-
tion on the issue
“It is my humble re-
quest to all those using
such apps to first check
if the app is RBI regis-
tered or not. If the app is
RBI registered, the cen-
tral bank will act imme-
diately in case of any
misdoing, I assure you,”
he had said.
Crypto currencies
yet to pass test of
fiat currency: CEA
New Delhi (PTI):
Chief Economic Advis-
er V Anantha Nag-
eswaran on Thursday
said cryptocurrencies
are akin to ‘a world of
Carribean pirates’ in
the absence of a central-
ised regulatory author-
ity and is yet to pass the
test of a fiat currency.
He said that the gov-
ernment is pursuing a
‘high-wire balancing
act’ to ensure that the
gains in growth, infla-
tion, rupee stability of
the last four years are
not frittered away.
He said the recent de-
velopmentinTerra-Luna
cryptocurrency, which
witnessed a massive
meltdown last month, is
a ‘very important cau-
tionary tale’.
“I wouldn’t be very
excited by them (crypto-
currency) because
sometimes we may not
be fully aware or com-
prehend the kind of
forces we are unleash-
ing ourselves. So I
would be somewhat
guarded in my welcome
of some of these Fin-
Tech-based disruptions
like Decentralised Fi-
nance (DeFI) and crypto
etc,” Nageswaran said.
He further said that
unlike fiat money, cryp-
to currencies cannot
satisfy basic require-
ments such as having
store value, widespread
acceptability and unit
of account.
Nageswaran said
that he agreed with RBI
Deputy Governor T
Rabi Sankar who had
been saying that as of
now there appeared to
be a case of ‘regulatory
arbitrage’ with regard
to cryptocurrencies
and decentralised fi-
nance rather than a
case of true financial
innovation.
“The more decentral-
ised they become and
the absence of a watch-
dog or a centralised
regulatory authority
also means that there
is a world of Carribean
pirates or a world
of ‘winner take all’
in terms of being able
to really taking it all
from somebody else,”
he noted.
Mumbai (PTI): The Reserve Bank of India Gover-
nor Shaktikanta Das on Thursday said businesses
should avoid having an aggressive short-term
reward-seeking culture without considering the
build-up of excessive risks in their balance sheets.
Das said doing business involves risk taking. But
before taking the risk, the upside and downside
will have to be carefully considered. “Businesses
should avoid aggressive short-term reward-seek-
ing culture without regard for the build-up of
excessive risk in the balance sheet,” Das said.

COAL INDIA ISSUES 2.416 MT
IMPORTED COAL TENDER
New Delhi (PTI): State-
owned CIL on Thursday
said that it has floated
its maiden tender to im-
port 2.416 million
tonnes of coal to ensure
adequate supply of the
fuel to power plants in
the country
.
The development as-
sumes significance in
the wake of the govern-
ment making all efforts
to build up stock of coal
to avoid the reoccur-
rence of power outages
which happened in April
on account of shortage
of the fossil fuel.
“In a first ever, Coal
India Limited (CIL) on
Wednesday floated an
international competi-
tive bidding e-tender,
seeking bids for import
of 2.416 million tonnes
(MTs) of coal,” the com-
pany said in a statement.
The coal being
sourced on behalf of the
state generating compa-
nies (gencos) and inde-
pendent power plants
(IPPs) is based on the
indents received from
them.

vestors.
Prior to this, such

ently witnessed out-

2020 to February
2021, losing Rs 46,791
crore.

Mumbai (PTI): The
country’s current ac-
count deficit is likely to
hit a three-year high of
1.8% or $43.81 billion in
FY22, as against a sur-
plus of 0.9% or $23.91
billion in FY21, a report
said on Thursday
.
According to an as-
sessment by India Rat-
ings, the Current Ac-
count Deficit (CAD) has
moderated to $17.3 bil-
lion or 1.96% of GDP in
the fourth quarter of
FY22 as against $8.2 bil-
lion or 1.03% in the
year-ago period, and
massively down from
$23.02 billion or 2.74%
in Q3, which was a
13-quarter high.
The improvement in
the key numbers are
due to the remarkable
improvement in mer-
chandise exports in
FY22, when it grew
42.4% as against a nega-
tive 7.5% in the pan-
demic-hit FY121.

Private 5G networks
will boost revenue: BIF
New Delhi (PTI): In-
dustry body BIF on
Thursday batted for di-
rect allocation of spec-
trum for private 5G net-
works to enterprises at a
nominal administrative
fee, as the war of words
intensified between tel-

gued that
the stance
that private
5G networks would lead
to revenue losses for the

Akhilesh is grappling with daunting
task to keep party rank file intact
Gyanendra Kumar Shukla
Lucknow: The ambi-
tious alliance that Akh-
ilesh Yadav cobbled to-
gether by stitching
small caste-based par-
ties ahead of the 2022
UP assembly polls is
beginning to unravel.
The Mahan Dal of Ke-
shav Dal Maurya has
announced to snap ties
with the SP-led alliance.
At the same time, the
displeasure of PSPL
Chief Shivpal Singh Ya-
dav and SBSP Chief
Omprakash Rajbhar is
increasing gradually
.
Notably, late last year
Akhilesh Yadav entered
into a tie-up with seven
parties -- the Rashtriya
Lok Dal (RLD), Mahan
Dal, Janwadi Party (So-
cialist), Apna Dal fac-
tion led by Krishna Pa-
tel, Suheldev Bhartiya
Samaj Party (SBSP),
Shivpal Yadav’s Pragat-
isheel Samajwadi Party
(PSPL) and Gondwana
Gantantra Party. This
coalition based on caste
calculation proved un-
successful in achieving
electoral victory, since
then the signs of disin-
tegration started re-
flecting in this alliance.
The dis-
s a t i s -
f a c -
tion of the Janwadi
Party leader Sanjay
Chauhan during the
ticket distribution had
exposed the weaknesses
of the alliance. Post-as-
sembly election results,
Mahan Dal Chief Kes-
hav Dev Maurya started
making scathing state-
ments targeting BJP
turncoat Swami Prasad
Maurya. Keshav Dev
was upset that he
was not given ad-
equate seats and
his party was
ignored in
compari-
son to
other al-
lies.
Akhilesh Yadav’s es-
tranged uncle and PSPL
chief Shivpal Yadav has
blamed the SP’s organi-
zationalstructureforthe
poll debacle. On several
occasions, he has indi-
cated to leave the alli-
ance and choose a differ-
ent path. In fact, the row
erupted in the coalition
camp after Akhilesh Ya-
dav’s decision to quit the
post of MP and retain
the post of Karhal MLA.
Azam Khan and Shivpal
Singh Yadav, who were
eyeing the post of Lead-
er of Opposition, were
quite dissatisfied with
this decision.Although
Azam Khan’s displeas-
ure has faded since his

M Tariq Khan
Lucknow: In Uttar
Pradesh, expressways
maybe scripting a silent
transformation in a
state known for its poor
quality of roads but
what has come as a
shocker is that UP tops
the chart in the country
for maximum number
of deaths in accidents
on national highways.
The revelation has
been made in a ‘Road
Safety Campaign, Road
Accidents in India 2020’,
a study released by the
Union ministry of road
transport and highways
(MoRTH).
According to the re-
port,In2020,3,66,138road
accidents were reported
by states/UTs, of which,
1,16,496 (31.82%) were on
nationalhighways;47,984
(36.43%) people were
killed and 1,09,898
(31.55%) were injured.
“The fact that much
of the 31.8% of the ac-
cidents, 36.4% of deaths
and 31.6% of accidents-
related injuries took
place on national high-
ways, which share only
2.1% of the total road
network in the country,
needs attention,” the
report stated. “More ac-
cidents on the highways
have been attributed to
higher vehicle speeds
and higher volume of
traffic on these roads.”
UP alone accounted
for 16.4% of the road ac-
cident deaths on nation-

Kishor Dwivedi
Noida: Nearly 70 people
have been arrested for
smuggling liquor from
Delhi to Uttar Pradesh
in the current financial
year due to heavy dis-
counts being offered on
booze in the national
capital, an excise offi-
cial said.
The excise officials
have seized over 10,000
litres of illicit liquor
and impounded more
than 20 vehicles, mostly
two-wheelers and pri-
vate cars, since April 1,
they said.
Gautam Buddh Na-
gar's Excise Officer
Rakesh Bahadur Singh
said that there has been
a spike in cases of peo-
ple bringing liquor
from Delhi to UP
through Noida since the
new excise policy under
which liquor prices
have come down almost
by half.
Delhi's new excise
policy was implement-
ed in November, 2021.
The activity dents
Uttar Pradesh's reve-
nue earnings and caus-

exchequer, Singh told
PTI.

First India Bureau
New Delhi: Defence
Minister Rajnath Singh
on Thursday handed
over to Vietnam 12 high-
speed guard boats built
under a USD 100 million
Line of Credit granted
to the Southeast Asian
country by India.
The boats were given
by Singh at a ceremony
in the Hong Ha ship-
yard amid increasing
maritime security coop-
eration between the two
sides to deal with Bei-
jing’s increasing mili-
tary assertiveness in
the South China Sea
region. The defence
minister is on a three-
day visit to Vietnam
from June 8 to 10.
“It gives me great
pleasure to join this his-
toric ceremony marking
the successful comple-
tion of the project to
build 12 high-speed
guard boats under the
USD 100 million defence
Line of Credit by India,”
he said at the event.
The initial five boats
were manufactured at
the LT Shipyard in In-
dia and the remaining
seven were built in the
Hong Ha shipyard.
“I am confident that
this will be a precursor
to many more coopera-
tive defence projects be-
tween India and Viet-
nam,” Singh said.
“This project is a
glowing example of our
‘Make in India -- Make
for the World’ mission,”
he added.
The defence minister
said India would be
“greatly pleased” if
“close friends like Viet-
nam” become part of
the country’s transfor-
mation in the defence
manufacturing sector.
He said the success-
ful completion of the
project, notwithstand-
ing the COVID-19 pan-
demic, is a reflection of
the commitment and
professional excellence
of the Indian defence
manufacturing sector
as also the Hong Ha
shipyard.
In his address, Singh
asserted that the Indian
defence industry has
substantially increased
its capabilities under
the ‘Aatmanirbhar
Bharat’ (self-reliant In-
dia) vision of PM Nar-
endra Modi.
He stressed that the
objective is to build a do-
mestic industry in order
to make India a defence
manufacturing hub that
not only caters to do-
mestic needs but also
fulfils international re-
quirements.

ACCUSED INCLDE
Haryana ACS Arora set to get extension
First India Bureau
Chandigarh: Two
months before his
scheduled retirement,
the name of Haryana’s
Additional Chief Sec-
retary (Home and
Health Departments)
Rajeev Arora has been
recommended for an
extension. The recom-
mendation came from
none other than the
Haryana Home Minis-
ter, Anil Vij, who also
holds the portfolio of
the state’s Health Min-
istry. Arora is sched-
uled to retire on July 31
this year.
Reports said that Vij
who also holds the port-
folio of Health and
Home has, in a letter to
Chief Minister Mano-
har Lal Khattar, recom-
mended a one-year ex-
tension to Arora on
grounds that he has
performed well as ACS
Home and Health.
The letter appreci-
ates Arora’s perfor-
mance in handling the
three phases of Covid
as the ACS (Health)
while also stating that
he ably handled the
long-drawn farmers’
agitation in Haryana as
ACS (Home).
Given his “satisfac-
tory” handling of the
two situations, the
Home Minister has
made out a case of
granting him exten-
sion for one year when
he superannuates. Aro-
ra retires on July 31.
Interestingly
, accord-
ing to the information
available, an officer
can be given three
months extension post-
retirement by the state
government. There is a
provision to extend
this by another three
months or beyond after
the approval of the
Centre.
There are examples
where officers at the
Centre have been given
extension for two years
and even four years.
According to the in-
formation available,
the Home Minister
wrote this letter earlier
last week. Incidentally,
it was only last week
that the office of the
Chief Secretary took
out a circular saying
that officers who are
due to retire in two
months time should re-
fer cases of procure-
ment, transfer, promo-
tion and the like to
their link officer.

in B-Town, however, she has found her
space in the big and glamourous world of

should be used
to reflect on
the World’s

ples, which include
promoting the eco-

of its regions.
Otunba Olusegun

and Culture, made the
plea in Abuja on World

He explained that
the World Craft Coun-

to promote friendship,
foster economic devel-
opment through in-
c o m e - g e n e r a t i n g
craft-related activi-
ties, and organise art-
related exchange pro-
grammes and exhibi-
tions, all with the goal
of encouraging and
advising craftsmen all
over the world.
These handicrafts
are the substantial
medium to preserve of
rich traditional art,
heritage and culture,
traditional skills and
talents which are as-
sociated with people’s
lifestyle and history.
They provide ample
opportunities for em-
ployment even with

ments and become a
prominent medium
for foreign earnings.
