Gangster Jaipal Bhullar and JassiKharar, wanted for the killing ofCIAASI Bhagwan Singh and Dal-winderjit Singh at Jagraon GrainMarket on May 15, were killed ina joint operation by Punjab Police,West Bengal Police and central se-curity agencies on Wednesdaymorning.

Sources said the encountertook place at Shahpurji Enclave inKolkata in which one STF sub-in-spector was injured.

Carrying an award of Rs 10lakh, the top most-wanted gang-ster, Jaipal Singh Bhullar aliasManjit Singh, was a son of a re-tired Assistant Sub-Inspector fromPunjab Police.

He was wanted in Punjab,Haryana, Rajasthan and HimachalPradesh for over 40 cases relatedto murder, extortion, kidnapping,robbery and smuggling.

He had succeeded in evadingarrest for five years at least and isknown as a master of surreptitiousmovement where he seldom used amobile phone.

Punjab Police officials reachedafter two of his close aides wererecently arrested from Madhya

Pradesh, who were wanted in themurder case of two ASIs.

Jaipal was a hammer-throwerand a budding talent at Speed FundAcademy, a Punjab governmentsports training centre in Ludhiana.He met another player-cum-smalltime criminal Happy at the acade-my.

In July 2004, they carried outthe sensational kidnapping of sev-en-year-old Chirag, son of a cine-ma-hall owner in Ludhiana.

After his arrest, he came intouch with other gangsters in jail.

Jaipal became especially closeto Rajiv alias Raja, when the latterlanded there in 2006 for loot andmurder of three Ludhiana jew-ellers. Jaipal and Raja teamed upand also became partners in crimewith notorious and infamous gang-ster Shera Khubban.

In a major setback to the Congress,its prominent face from poll-boundUttar Pradesh, Jitin Prasada, onWednesday joined the BJP.

Welcoming him into the party inthe presence of Union MinisterPiyush Goyal, BJP media in chargeAnil Baluni said Prasada was joiningthe party as he was "impressed" withthe working style of Prime MinisterNarendra Modi.

The speculations that Prasada isjoining the BJP started after Balunitweeted about an "eminent personal-

ity" joining the party. Before the for-mal announcement, the known

Gandhi loyalist met Home MinisterAmit Shah.

The development comes as an-other blow to the Congress, whichappears to be failing consistently instopping its promising young leadersfrom leaving the party.

Prasada follows JyotiradityaScindia and sources claim moreprominent leaders from other partieswill be joining the BJP in the run-upto the Assembly elections. While itremains to be seen what Prasadabrings to the table politically, ob-servers say it is more about percep-tions. Prasada belongs to the upper-caste Brahmin community, a section

that is upset with Yogi Adityanathover various issues. For Prasada,who first stuck his neck out in whatis known as 'G-23' episode, it is awin-win situation. Upset with theparty leadership, Prasada has beentrying to resurrect his career. Alreadythere are speculations of a settlementfor him in the Adityanath govern-ment. Apart from allegations of"mismanagement" during the secondwave of Covid-19, the Adityanathgovernment has been facing allega-tions of favouring the Thakur com-munity at the cost of Brahmins.Prasada's inclusion is expected to as-suage some of such feelings.

New Delhi: The Centre has written to the states and Union territories, advising them not to share the data of the Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network (eVIN) system on vaccine stocks and the temperature of vaccine storage at public forums, and stating that it is a “sensitive information and to be used only for programme improvement”. In a recent letter to the states, the Union health ministry said the Centre, with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has rolled out the eVIN system under UIP, which is used to track the vaccine stock status and the temperature at all levels of vaccine storage, from national to the sub-district level. In the letter, the health ministry said it was overwhelming to see that all the states are using the system to update the stock and transactions of Covid vaccines on a daily basis.

Turbulent Afghanistancould impact Kashmir

One feels glad to seeJammu and Kashmirdrop steeply in the

hierarchy of India’s securi-ty concerns. I am not goingto spoil the party by sug-gesting that the current sit-uation is just a smokescreenbehind which lie manyscheming ideas andthoughts to take it all backto 2001. Why 2001? It issimply because that is alandmark year recorded asthe one with the highest ter-rorist casualties (2,100killed); or, in other words,the year with a dispropor-tionately high number ofengagements, contacts,gunbattles.

It was also the yearwhen we saw the beginningof the Nato onslaught intoAfghanistan (then usuallyreferred as AfPak) after9/11. Afghanistan and J&Khave a long association; Iam not alluding to theirdeep history but only to re-cent times. It’s the Sovietinvasion of Afghanistan atthe end of 1979 thatbrought the mercenaries,often called jihadis, toAfghanistan under thesponsorship of the UnitedStates and Saudi Arabia.The rise of Islamic obscu-rantism can be traced backmostly to the 1980s whenthe refugee camps on thePak-Afghan border becamethe centres of conversion tomore radical beliefs of Is-lam. Pakistan’s Inter-Ser-vices Intelligence gainedmuch of its experience in

handling tricky intelligenceand operations related situ-ations in Afghanistan. Assoon as the war ended withthe Soviet defeat, the mer-cenaries were available fora song and became the newjihadis in J&K. People un-aware of the nuances of theissues in J&K over the last30 years need to be in-formed that the originalseparatist movement of1989 was largely indige-nous and may have beencontrolled, but for the sud-den availability of the mer-cenary jihadis freed fromthe war in Afghanistan. TheISI got them together withfunds, weapons and mili-tary wherewithal no onehad control over. They were

then infiltrated into Kash-mir from every conceivabledirection to add to thegrowing footprint of terror.Many of them wereAfghans who had no lovelost for Kashmiris.

The Indian Army andits fledgling anti-terrorforce, Rashtriya Rifles,neutralised hundreds as in-telligence on them was nev-er far, with them getting onto the wrong side of manyin the local population, es-pecially women. Thepipeline of so-called jihadisdried up by 1996, when theremnants of the mercenar-ies who fought the SovietArmy in Afghanistan hadeither met their end or re-turned to do service with

the Taliban when it came topower. The infiltration offoreign terrorists from 1996onwards was mainly that ofPakistanis who floodedNorth Kashmir, in particu-lar in the Bandipur, Sopore,Lolab and Handwara tracts.

Kashmir’s proactivemedia repeatedly queriedme in 2010-12 about thethen situation inAfghanistan and how itwould affect Kashmir if theUS troops withdrew. Thosewere the days when Gen.David Petraeus was incharge of the US CentralCommand and the princi-ples of the “COIN” (coun-terinsurgency) doctrinewere in full flow inAfghanistan. I always an-

swered with the stock replythat almost became a by-line: “When you throw astone into water there areripples in every direction.Ripples from the conflict inAfghanistan will invariablytravel to J&K.” I usuallyleft it at that, and if some-one persisted, I would usu-ally say: “Let no one imag-ine that 2011 is 1989, weare far superior in deploy-ment and even more in ex-perience.” All these wordsare coming back to me inbits and pieces to create apicture for the region oncethe Americans are out ofAfghanistan. That is ex-pected largely by July2021, without waiting forPresident Joe Biden’s Sep-

tember 11, 2021 deadline.So, is a resurgence of ex-tremist violence in the re-gion likely after July? TheAmerican presence beingsought at some Pakistaniairbases to afford drone op-erations and possibly otherforms of aerial warfare in-cluding Special Forces iswith a view to ensure thatAfghan territory, andmaybe some Pakistani terri-tory as well, is not used toconduct activities that aredetrimental to US interests.It’s to keep a vigil overthese areas which have pro-vided much sorrow to theworld in the last twodecades. Of course, thiswill never be sufficient tohave full regional coverage,but the US can always beadvised to include India inits coverage too, simply asemerging strategic partners,and Pakistan is in no posi-tion to resist that, given itsprecarious financial posi-tion.

The current 2021 sea-son has thus far seen mini-mal activity in Kashmir.The infiltration season be-gan almost two months agobut attempts have been fewand far between. Obvious-ly, the flavour for jihadismis low at present, but itwould be incorrect to as-sume it is all over. In 2011too, the infiltration pickedup in the July-October peri-od. Pakistan’s attention isfocused on Afghanistan,where mistakes can cost itdearly.

Literature & Health

Equality does not lie in uniformity

Wider viewAny institution that repre-

sents India’s diversitywould be perceived in a

positive light. Therefore, re-ports that the Supreme Courtcollegium is considering a re-form of the appointmentprocess in order to bring inmore members of the scheduledcastes, scheduled tribes, otherbackward classes, minoritiesand women as judges suggest aforward-looking change.

Not that there have notbeen senior judges, even chiefjustices of India, from thelargest minority community,but the presence of judges fromall these groups in high courtsand the Supreme Court is unde-niably sparse. The SupremeCourt has never had a womanchief justice or a chief justicefrom other minority communi-ties. Just before N.V. Ramanawas appointed Chief Justice ofIndia, the Supreme CourtWomen Lawyers Associationhad applied to the SupremeCourt for more women judgesat all levels. The country’s jus-tice institutions have no genderparity. Bar associations havealso been demanding that thehigher judiciary be made moreinclusive. The CJI has reported-

ly expressed the need to includemembers of marginalizedgroups in the judiciary so thatcourts reflect the vast diversityof the country. Since there is noConstitutional or legislativemandate in courts equivalent toreservations, such a reformwould be voluntary. It would bein line with the CJI’s ideasabout modernization and theneed to improve judicial infra-structure in the pursuit of accessto justice and speedy justicethat he had mentioned beforehis present appointment. His vi-sion of sustainable and inclu-sive modernization includescourtrooms with disabled-friendly arrangements, waiting

areas, washrooms and crèches.The most disadvantaged citizenshould be able to approach thecourts in a ‘barrier free-citizenfriendly environment’. An in-clusive judiciary would be nec-essary for this. No doubt thewisdom of the high court col-legiums, which will recom-mend the names for appoint-ment, and of the Supreme Courtcollegium that will select fromthem will put merit above allelse. Merit was emphasized inthe women lawyers’ applica-tion, and the Bar associationshave been asking that advocates‘of standing’ who have beenpractising for 10 years be con-sidered as judges.

Aschool presents a myriadopportunities to observe hu-man behaviour. And if we

have been around long enough, italso affords us time to understandthe outcome of the education weimpart.

Human nature in all its mani-festations — raw ambition, deepdisappointment, the joy (and some-times, the smugness) of achieve-ment, the humiliation of defeat andthe triumph of victory — can beseen in the children in our care.These children also display an im-pressive array of talents which wetry to enhance. But the broaderquestion of whether our school sys-tem is producing the same kind ofminds without giving enoughscope to children to develop indi-

viduality or originality has beenraised powerfully by thinkers likethe late Ken Robinson. It is imper-ative that we in India pay more at-tention to this aspect of schooling,especially in view of the current at-tempt to make our country ‘uni-form’. The growing obsession inIndia with wanting to be ‘one na-tion’ has many implications. If weare ‘one country’, we must haveone election, one tax, one religion,one language and so on. This trendset me thinking about ‘uniformity’and ‘conformity’ in school apartfrom the tired ‘one-size-fits-all’testing system which needs a dras-tic overhaul anyway. Uniformity ineverything produces a samenesswhich is boring, and soul-killingwhen overdone. Beyond a point,

the compulsion to conform cripplesone’s individual freedom. Every-body appreciates the need for bothuniformity and conformity in orderto maintain some standard ofequality in a democratic setting anda reasonable level of discipline andorder in civilized society. The trou-ble starts when there is too muchregimentation and one’s personalfreedom is irrationally impingedupon, especially when the authori-ties insist that only a specific cul-ture or a particular way of thinkingis acceptable. These prescriptionsstifle the atmosphere and soon freeexpression, creativity, innovationand bold experimentation becomecasualties. Just as conformity isnecessary to maintain law and or-der in society, in school it is need-

ed to discipline the hundreds of stu-dents who enter its gates every day.Without discipline, the teaching-learning process itself cannot beput in motion. But students are re-quired to conform in many ways.They must be in school uniformwithin the school premises, followcertain norms of the institution andobserve the rules and regulationsthat are laid down.

Unsurprisingly, obedience instudents is highly valued by mostteachers and unfortunately, manywant them to be passive in theclassroom and preferably not asktoo many questions. Thus, theteacher’s life is made easier and itis these ‘quiet and obedient’ stu-dents who are usually rewardedwith good conduct prizes.

EDITORIAL

About-turn‘Course correction’, as the Centre has done now

with its vaccination policy, is, effectively, anotherterm for the Narendra Modi government owning

up — belatedly and in a convoluted language — to itsown incompetencies. In an address to the nation, theprime minister announced several significant and nec-essary changes to the public vaccination campaignagainst Covid-19. As is often the case in politics, thetiming of Mr Modi’s address let the proverbial cat outof the bag. The changes were made following persist-ent demands by leaders of the Opposition for the Cen-tre to alter course. Recently, the government was alsorapped on its knuckles by no less than the SupremeCourt, which described the vaccination policy to be“arbitrary and irrational”. However, what may haveprompted Mr Modi to act — finally — on sane adviceare the political murmurs from the ground. The im-mense suffering that India has had to endure on ac-count of the combined onslaught of a vicious secondwave of the virus and the Centre’s vacuous, inept anddiscriminatory vaccination plan is quite likely to havepolitical consequences. Having been routed in Bengal,there are murmurs that the Bharatiya Janata Party isnervous about the outcome of the assembly electionsin Uttar Pradesh, which is among the five states thatgo to elections next year. The BJP’s discouraging per-formance in the local polls in the state shows that theconcern is not unwarranted. Some of the changes tothe vaccination programme are, evidently, attempts toblunt the charges of arbitrariness and discrimination.For instance, the Centre has decided to acquire 75 percent of all the vaccines being manufactured and dis-tribute them free of cost to the states. It has also doneaway with the price differences among differentgroups of recipients. But more needs to be done. Thepace of vaccination and the paucity of vaccines re-main areas of serious concern. There was nothing inMr Modi’s address that would assure the nation thatthese deficiencies would be addressed. Neither did theprime minister discuss the emerging fault lines in vac-cination pertaining to gender disparities, rural-urbaninequalities as well as the exclusion that has beenbrought about by the requirement of mandatory digi-tal registration for vaccination. Mr Modi, characteris-tically, tried to shift the blame for the vaccine debacleon to the Opposition and the states, but this argumentis unlikely to cut much ice. The real blame lies withthe Centre’s hubris, inefficiency and its slack of em-pathy for the people.

Vitamin D culprit for slouch

My mother slouches when shesits and stands. Aslouch is badfor respiration — it does not

give the lungs enough space to expand.It looks bad too. The slouch may be dueto a lack of Vitamin D with or withoutcalcium deficiency. Once this is ad-dressed, she needs to consciously sit andstand straight. This can be done by stand-ing against a wall with the feet six inch-es apart. The head, shoulders, hips andheels should touch the wall. While sittingon a chair or driving, she should place arolled-up towel at the small of the back,and use a low pillow while sleeping.

Nose blockI have a deviated nasal septum. One

side of my nose is permanently blocked.If I develop a cold or an allergy and theother side also gets blocked, I just can’tbreathe. My doctor has advised surgery.I am scared.

Yoga has breathing exercises, suchas breathing through one nostril with theother closed. You could also try a non-absorbed steroid spray and steam inhala-tions. Yoga takes time. If there is no im-provement in a month or two, you canthink about surgery.

Stretch marksI did some heavy workouts and

bulked up at the gym. Now I have uglywhite stretch marks.

Stretch marks form when elasticskin is overstretched. It can occur in anysort of rapid weight gain. Preventingstretch marks involves drinking plenty of

State leaders of various parties engaged in polishing theirpolitics under guise of farmers' movement: Harish MehtaRAJINDER SINGHPATHANKOT: Nationalist Congress Party's deputy president Harish Mehta issued a press statement sayingthat some political leaders in our country are engaged in policing their own politics by misleading the people.Whereas the public has a lot of expectations from these leaders. Today when our country is in emergency,no leader of any party is reaching out to the people in these circumstances. No leader came among the peo-ple to share the hardships and miseries of the people during the Corona period. Whereas people have to gothrough very difficult times. Many families are going to sleep hungry and there are many such families whoare buried under the interest rates of the bank. All business has been closed. Politicians of many parties are engaged inpolicing their politics under the guise of peasant movement. Politicians get the title by misleading the innocent people of thecountry. During the Corona period, people in the voting, education and medical lines looted people with both hands and de-stroyed many houses.

The Portuguese told TheSun, "So if you want me to beproactive now you can ask me,'how many trophies have youwon in your career?' I'll tell you25 and a half. The half is the fi-nal that I didn't play with Tot-tenham."

The incoming Roma man-ager has never lacked trophiesin his illustrious career, he hasofficially won 25 league titlesand cups with Porto, Chelsea,Inter, Real Madrid, and Man-chester United. The only clubthat the 58-year-old failed to leavehis impression upon and departedempty-handed was the North Lon-don's Spurs.

"You ask the guys who playedlots of finals and everybody will tellyou, 'to play a final is a dream' andit doesn't matter if it is the first finalor number 20 or number 50, a finalis always a dream," Mourinhoadded.

"A Wembley final is more thana dream, I played the first on thenew Wembley, and every time I gothere, it's more than a dream and to

have a chance to win a trophy witha club that doesn't have many ofcourse was a double dream.

Rishabh Pant is more confident now, hisapproach not reckless: Mike Hesson

WTC final: Ashwin couldbe the match-winner forIndia: Monty Panesar

AGENCYLONDON, JUNE 9

While pundits keep talkingabout India's pace battery,spinner Ravichandran Ashwinis a vital cog of the much-famed Indian bowling attack.To bring statistics into play, heis the first bowler in the 143-year history of Test cricket todismiss 200 left-handed bats-men.

And former England spin-ner Monty Panesar believesAshwin could hold the key forIndia when they take on NewZealand in the final of the in-augural World Test Champi-onship in Southampton. TheKiwi batting line-up is studdedwith left-handers and it could bejust the motivation the off-spin-ner needs to go the extra mile. "Ithink New Zealand is quite agood team and Conway had agreat game against England.They have got few left-handersin there so I am sure Ashwinwill probably be the first-choice

spinner," Panesar told a newsagency.

"New Zealand looks a bet-ter team than I think a lot ofpeople thought in England andthey are kind of playing like anumber one team in the world. Ithink it is going to be a greatTest match between the twosides and it's not going to beeasy for India," he mentioned."But with the weather aroundand so many left-handers in theNew Zealand squad, Ashwincould be the match-winner inthis final. The difference is go-ing to be Ashwin, I think TimSouthee is bowling well, hecould be the difference for NewZealand," the former spinneradded. Ashwin, who recently hita gutsy ton against England on awicket where the world's bestbatsmen were struggling to gettheir feet in, can put NewZealand in trouble and if he isn'table to perform as he did a fewmonths ago, the Indian pace bat-tery might be in pressure ac-cording to Panesar.

Kane Williamson to miss 2nd Testvs England ahead of WTC final

Irfan Pathan has said that pace is notthe only attribute one should lookfor in a fast bowler. He explainedthis by comparing speedster ShoaibAkhtar with India’s BhuvneshwarKumar. The former Indian all-rounder highlighted the differencebetween swing and pace. He sug-gested that both have their own ad-vantages but it is always challeng-ing for the batsmen to handle themoving ball.

In his column for The PlayfieldMagazine, Pathan wrote that it willbe next to impossible for Bhuvnesh-war to bowl like Akhtar. He said thatBhuvneshwar, who is capable ofswinging the ball both ways, will

suddenly not be able to become anout and out fast bowler.

Akhtar, back in time, was re-garded as one of the fastest bowlersin the world. Pathan said that thedesperation to belong to the fastbowler category will leave one withnothing. Pathan himself was notknown for his pace, but his swing-ing deliveries caused trouble formany a batsman.

Pathan suggested young bowlersto not sacrifice swing just to add 4-5 clicks to their bowling as it willleave them stranded. “There is aspeed that is ideal for swing bowl-ing, respect that,” he added.

Owing to his swing-bowling,Pathan became the second Indian toclaim a Test hat-trick in 2006against Pakistan. Giving insights

from his personal experience, hesaid that it is important to add skillsin arsenal but not at the expense oforiginality.

Pathan said that it has been sci-entifically proven that 130-135kmph is the best range of force toget a maximum swing for bowlers.And if the same bowler can bowl ayorker or a slower one or a cutter atthat speed then he is capable of sur-viving anywhere in the world, headded.

Coming back to Bhuvneshwar,Pathan said that though he is not anexpress bowler, he is on song whenhe swings the bowl. For being skip-per’s first priority in death overs,Pathan credited Bhuvneshwar’sability to bowl a knuckle, slowerone, and the ever-reliable yorker.

Pathan explains why speed isn’t the only thing fast bowlers need

NEW DELHI, JUNE 9 : New Zealand’stwo Tests against England before the WorldTest Championship final against India couldend up creating workload management is-sues for the Black Caps, feels the Kiwislongest-serving coach Mike Hesson.In an in-terview to a news agency , Hesson also hadsome advice for the Indian team: Go withMayank Agarwal in the opening slot insteadof retaining the set combination of RohitSharma and Shubman Gill.

COVID-19 related restrictions have leftIndia with limited preparation time ahead ofthe final beginning June 18 while NewZealand will have the advantage of playing two games againstEngland before the first ever WTC title clashin Southampton. Hesson doesn’t agree withthat assessment.

“It is an issue (playing three Tests with afour day gap in between). New Zealand willhave to look at the bowling attack and that’s

potentially why Trent Boult will play thisgame (second Test against England fromThursday,” he pointed out.

“That will give one of those other quicksto rest potentially, because it’s only four daysbetween each Test. So, three on the bounce isa big deal, especially if you put in 45 to 50 overs in the second Test, orthey just decide to manage the workloadswhich is not something you usually do goinginto a Test match,” he said.
