Rahul terms Modi govt aspuppet of Ambani, Adani

Capt vows to continue fight against farm lawsSP JAINBADNI KALAN, OCTOBER 4

Punjab Chief Minister CaptainAmarinder Singh on Sundayjoined Congress leader RahulGandhi to kickstart a 3-day`Kheti Bachao Yatra’ with a vowto fight the black Farm Laws andsave the farmers from the clutch-es of big corporates like the Am-banis and the Adanis, to whomthe central government had soldoff the interests of the farmingcommunity.

Describing the Modi govern-ment as a `kathputli’ (puppet)government, whose strings werein the hands of the Adanis and theAmbanis, Rahul gave a `guaran-tee’ to the farmers that the day theCongress comes to power at theCentre, these three `black laws’will be scrapped and consigned tothe wastepaper basket

Addressing a public rally atBadni Kalan in Moga before tak-ing off on a tractor rally throughdistricts Moga and Ludhiana,Rahul lambasted Prime MinisterNarendra Modi for lying to the

people and misleading the nationfor the past six years to serve theinterests of 2-3 large corporatehouses of his billionaire friends.He cited the examples of demon-etisation, GST and the debt & taxwaiver of big industrialists amidCovid, while not giving a rupee’said to the poor and the farmers.

“This is about your land andyour money” Rahul warned thefarmers, recalling the Land Ac-quisition Bill which the UPA gov-

ernment had amended to protectthe farmers but the Modi govern-ment had scrapped, with the sup-port of the Akalis, soon after tak-ing over the country’s reins. TheAdanis and the Ambanis want totake over the land and money ofthe farmers without giving any-thing in return and the PrimeMinister was helping them in ex-change of 24X7 media coveragein his favour, said the CongressMP. Extending his, and the Con-

gress party’s, full support to thefarmers, Rahul said he stood withthe farmers in this fight for theirsurvival and livelihood, whichthe Modi government was tryingto destroy with these draconianlaws. “Together we will changethese laws,” he told the farmers,supporting their fight for theirrights. Questioning the need topush these laws urgently in thetimes of Covid, and that too with-out any discussion in Parliament,he quipped, “if the farmers arehappy with these legislations, asthe Government of India is claim-ing, then why are they agitating inPunjab and the rest of the coun-try?” The new laws, said Rahul,were aimed at eventually disman-tling the MSP and FCI procure-ment system, and would breakthe backbone of the farmers, justas the British had done to seizecontrol of India. The central gov-ernment was also trying to breakthe farmers’ backbone to handover the entire farming system totheir industrialist friends, hewarned, vowing not to let thishappen at any cost.

Mr Manohar Lal was addressingthe progressive farmers during the“Progressive Farmers Conference andDiscussion on Agriculture Acts” or-ganized by Agriculture and FarmersWelfare Department and HaryanaState Agriculture and MarketingBoard (HSAMB) at Karnal today.

While lambasting the CongressParty for misleading the farmers fortheir vested interests, the Chief Minis-ter said that today demand is beingraised to bring MSP under the Act.The Congress remained in power inCentre and State on different occa-sions between the year 1966 to 2014and why they did not bring any Act togive legal guarantee to MSP, he ques-tioned.

He said that if the Congress is tru-ly a well wisher of farmers, it shouldask its Government in Rajasthan andPunjab to purchase Bajra (Millet),Sunflower seeds and Moong on MSPas already being done in Haryana.This time we have also decided to pur-chase Maize on MSP in the State.Each and every grain of Maize wouldbe purchased by the State Govern-ment, he added. The Chief Ministersaid that recently he held a meetingwith the Cotton Corporation of India(CCI) and upon his initiative; the CCIhas agreed to procure 100 per centcotton from Haryana on fulfilling thepermissible parameter of moisturecontent upto 12 per cent. Earlier, only25 per cent cotton was being pur-

chased by the CCI.The Chief Minister said that agri-

culture and farmers form the basis ofall welfare policies and programmesof the Central and State Government.He said that there is a need to makesuch arrangements that the farmersare not required to sell even a singlegrain of their produce on MSP ratherthey are able to sell it on a price high-er than the MSP. He assured that theentire produce of the farmers wouldbe procured in the mandis of the Statein case they do not get higher pricesoutside. He said that earlier, the farm-ers were able to sell their produce at asingle place but now the new FarmsAct has given them the freedom to selltheir crop anywhere.

The Chief Minister said that asland holdings in the State are continu-ously shrinking, schemes are beingprepared to assist those farmers whohave small land holdings and are com-pletely dependent only on agricultureby encouraging them to venture intoagro-allied activities like dairy farm-ing, bee-keeping, fisheries etc so thattheir income could be increased. Apartfrom this, such farmers would also beprovided guidance for the marketingof their produce. He said that contractfarming will help the farmers to getassured income.

What Yogi govt ishiding, asks KN Singh

SHIV KUMAR SHARMAKARNAL, OCT 4

Even after 75 years of independence, the poor, labour-ers, Dalits keep wandering for justice. The governmentonly gives them false assurances for votes. Is thiscalled freedom? The whole country has seen thedaughter of a Dalit family wandering publicly for jus-tice. The district's DM, SP and administration machin-ery did nothing except speak lie. No daughter is easi-ly accused of an incident like rape. She has to thinkmany times to bear the brunt of rape. Why did the hos-pital and police station lie to delay the justice ofHathras' daughter. The result of this delay was that thedaughter died.

Intellectuals, journalists and jurists from all overIndia demand from the Yogi government that severepunishment should be given to those who crematedHathras' daughter without handing them over to thefamily. Those police officers and doctors should bedismissed. So that in future, no one else will be able tohelp the laborers in this way and at the same timeeveryone should be allowed to go freely in the villageso that the truth can be revealed to the country.

claiming this. Butthese claims are prov-ing false in the mandis.Talking to journalists,he said that the gov-ernment in the mandisis bad most of thetime. More than half ofthe farmers are upsetfor this.

Apart from this,farmers' paddy is be-ing sold for Rs 1800on paper and Rs 1600

is being given to the farmer. Apart from this,there are no feet to be found in the mandis.Farmers have been waiting for their paddy to besold for a long time. First, three new agri lawshave been forced on the farmers. Now farmersare suffering. Where do farmers go after all. Hedemanded from Chief Minister Manohar Lalthat farmers should be saved from total ruin. Hesaid that there was a time when farmers' paddy was sold for Rs 6000 per quin-tal. But Basmati also did not sell more than Rs1900 per quintal this year. He said that the realbeneficiary of the Congress is the Congress it-self.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Mark Twain

EDITORIAL India's soft power

unrealized potentialhe term "soft power" was coined by academic Joseph Nye of Harvard University to describe "the Tability to attract and co-opt rather than coerce,

use force or give money as a means of persuasion" in his 1990 book Bound to Lead: The changing nature of American Power. Since then, the term has also been used in the context of increasing social and public perception of a nation's strength. Today, a nation's power is measured not only because of its economy, geopolitics and military might but also its culture, food, fashion, films and music, heritage etc -- its soft power.In recent years, the University of Southern California (USC, Portland) has been publishing the Global Soft Power Report. The report says, as governments grapple with a volatile international political landscape and look to adjust their foreign policy strategies accordingly, they will need to re-evaluate their current approach to generating and leveraging soft power. In international diplomacy, where perception matters, it is soft power which gives nations an edge. Where does India stand in the latest rankings? Not in the Top 20 in spite of being the largest democracy. The only consolation being neither does China.Globalization has not only created global brands but certain omnipresent cultural imprints. A classic example is Hollywood, which has become the world's favourite entertainment. Or Chinese food, French wine, yoga, ayurveda, soccer, samba. With an estimated turnover of over $2.5 trillion annually, culture (excluding tourism and travel, which is a similar amount) is one of the world's largest industries. France, for instance, draws over 70 million tourists and India a mere 10 million to savour its food, fashion and sights. India's rich heritage of architecture and craftsmanship, music and dance, food and clothing, spiritualism and colourful pageantry and festivals should make it an ideal tourist destination. Unfortunately, 'Incredible India' is still just a catchy slogan. While a small country gets three times more travellers, India is handicapped by lack of adequate and friendly tourist infrastructure. Even international destinations like Taj Mahal do not even have enough loos. Beggars and touts and greedy ill-informed guides and touts can put off any visitor.In the last couple of years, attempts have been made to improve tourist infrastructure but this still falls short of global standards. In my travels around the world, I found smaller countries like Vietnam, Croatia, Peru, Morocco and Norway have leveraged tourism as a major economic activity. Not only have these governments made travel into and within the countries convenient but an enjoyable experience as well. The present government is hoping to change all this but the pace of change is slow.

POEMSThe Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

et us go then, you and I, When Lthe evening is

spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table;Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, The muttering retreats Of restless nights in

one-night cheap hotels And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: Streets that follow like a tedious argument Of insidious intent To lead you to an overwhelming question ...Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”Let us go and make our visit In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo. The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes, Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening, Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains, Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys, Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap, And seeing that it was a soft October night, Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

Let us see whatcourt will say on October 12 be-cause nobody has faith in theAdityanath government or theModi government and its agen-cies in this case right from thebeginning they have subvertedjustice."

The CPI (M) leader furtheralleged that the Uttar Pradeshgovernment does not want toserve justice to the victim's fam-

ily. "Now with handing over thecase to the CBI..... the issue ofcredibility of the Adityanathgovernment and its accountabil-ity cannot be diverted. Thequestion is the accountability of

the UP government and its re-sponsibility for the death of thisgirl? Right from the beginning,they have been against justice inthis case," she said.

On Saturday, the UttarPradesh government decided tohand over the probe into theHathras case to the CBI. An-nouncing this move in a tweet,the office of Chief MinisterYogi Adityanath said the ChiefMinister has decided to handover the entire investigation intothe Hathras case to the CBI.

The 19-year-old womandied at Delhi's Safdarjung hos-pital on September 29. All thefour accused in the incidenthave been arrested.

NEW DELHI: A day aftermeeting the family of theHathras incident victim, Con-gress General Secretary Priyan-ka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday de-manded the removalof the district magis-trate (DM) and aprobe into his role inthe entire matter. TheCongress leader saidthat according to thefamily, the HathrasDM meted out theworst treatment tothem, and asked who was pro-tecting the officer.

"According to the aggrievedfamily, the worst treatment met-ed out to them was by the dis-trict magistrate. Who is trying tosave him? He should be imme-diately suspended, and his rolein the entire matter should beprobed. When the family is de-manding a judicial probe, thenwhy is noise over CBI probe

and SIT probe is going on," theCongress leader tweeted(roughly translated from Hindi)."If the Uttar Pradesh govern-ment has even slightly woken

up from its slumber, itshould listen to thepoint of view of thefamily," she said inanother tweet. On Oc-tober 1, Hathras Dis-trict Magistrate PKLaxkar had denied"negative rumours"about the rife between

him and the family of the gan-grape victim. Laxkar said thathe has been regularly interact-ing with the family. "I met withsix family members of the vic-tim yesterday and we spoke forabout an hour and a half. I metwith them again today to seetheir point of discontent.

Taking on the Akalis over theirtreachery with Punjab, Chief Minis-ter Captain Amarinder Singh onSunday said the people of the statewould take care of these `gaddars'but the real fight was with theBharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ledcentral government, which was outto destroy the farmers with their dra-conian Farm Laws.

Addressing a public rally inLamma Jattpura (Raikot) at the cul-mination of the first day of RahulGandhi's `Kheti Bachao Yatra', theChief Minister said his government

was with the farmers and will takewhatever steps needed against theanti-farmer laws and ex-pose the Akali's doublestandards, while theCongress will continueto fight the Modi gov-ernment at the Centre.

"We will handle theAkalis here, but I urgeRahul to fight the cen-tral government and toscrap the new laws bybecoming the PrimeMinister," said Captain Amarinder,hailing Rahul for standing with Pun-jab's farmers in these tough times.The Modi government does notknow what agriculture is and theywant to break the centuries-old rela-

tions between Arhtiyas and thefarmers for the benefit of their capi-

talist friends, said theChief Minister. Pointingout that 70% of the farm-ers own less than 5 acresland, with half of thempossessing less than 2.5acres, he said the thoseruling at the Centre donot know anything aboutthe problems of farmers,who have fed the nationfor decades and ensured

that India does not need to beg forfood, as it did before the Green Rev-olution. Taking a dig at SAD presi-dent Sukhbir Singh Badal's claim ofsacrificing for the farmers by quit-ting NDA, Captain Amarinder said

the Akalis don't know what sacrificeis. They did what they did only forpolitical survival when faced withthe farmers' angst and resentment,said the Chief Minister, assertingthat the Congress in Punjab willfight and expose the Akalis, whomthe people of the state had rejected.He pointed out that Rahul hadpromised to scrap the black lawsonce the Congress is in power at theCentre and exuded the confidencethat this will happen soon. Rahul, inhis address, lashed out at the PrimeMinister for ruining farmers, labour-ers, small traders, SMEs etc underorders from the Adanis and Amban-is.

Sampla said thatthe newly appointedChief Secretary in thePunjab Governmenthas been appointed asthe Chief Secretaryalong with a numberof senior officers. Onthe one hand, theChief Secretary is al-ready dominated by ministers,on the other hand, a junior of-ficer has been appointed, whocannot act as he pleases withjustice. "We had demanded

from the Punjab governmentto hand over the case to the

CBI and get it inves-tigated by the presentHon'ble Judge of theHigh Court," Samplasaid. He said thatPunjab governmentas per its habit wasseen to be on the sideof scammers and ig-noring our legitimatedemands and hand-

ing over the investigation tothe person working underthem, from whom we expect-ed no justice and in the samemanner. The result has come

before us. Sampla said that theentire Dalit community cate-gorically rejected the inquiryreport and condemned thehateful attitude of the Punjabgovernment towards the soci-ety.

Sampla once again de-manded from the Punjab Gov-ernment that this scam relatedto scholarships of Dalit stu-dents should be investigatedby a senior Hon'ble Judge ofthe High Court or the investi-gation should be handed overto CBI. Besides, the Dalitcommunity does not believein any such report.

Desperate for crowds to be able to enjoy sport, says Stuart BroadLONDON: England pacer Stuart Broad has said that he is desperate for crowds to be able to come back to the stadiums to enjoy the sport in the UK. Broad had an amazing season for England this year as he finished with 29 wickets from five matches. Along the way, he also breached the 500 wicket mark in the longest format of the game. England played Test series against West Indies and Pakistan this year and all the matches were played behind closed doors. The Joe Root-led side managed to win both the series. "Obviously I'm desperate for crowds to be able to come back and enjoy our sport. Let's be honest, the health and safety of people are much more important than that. But yeah, to be honest, I'm not even looking as far as Australia: I think England next April or May has got to be at the forefront of our minds to be able to get sports fans back into our stadiums," ESPNCricinfo quoted Broad as saying. "The experts will study everything and hopefully we're in a position in our country that that could happen - I know in October, we were due to start getting some fans back into stadiums but things took a little turn for the worse," he added.

Suzie Bates ruled out of remainder of ODI series against Australia

TALKSSHORT

BRISBANE: New Zealand's experienced batswoman Suzie Bates has been ruled out of the remainder of the ODI series against Australia due to a shoulder injury.The right-handed batter had sustained an injury late in the first ODI against Australia when she dived to prevent a boundary.She underwent an MRI scan earlier today but further consultation will be needed to determine the full extent of the injury, ESPNCricinfo reported."Losing Suzie for the remaining two matches is obviously a big loss. Anytime you lose a player with well over 100 ODIs of experience and a wealth of runs, it's hard to replace them," ESPNCricinfo quoted New Zealand coach Bob Carter as saying."Lauren's injury, while minor, is, unfortunately, keeping her on the sideline for the time being. She's been showing plenty of promise in the nets and we remain hopeful she will play a part in this series," he added.Australia had defeated New Zealand by seven wickets in the first ODI to go 1-0 up in the three-match series. Both sides will lock horns in the second ODI on Monday, October 5.

IPL 13: I try to just focus on my own skills: Nortje

DUBAI: After defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by 18 runs, Delhi Capitals pacer Anrich Nortje said that all the bowlers in the side were top-notch and they executed their skills to make sure that the side gets over the line.

In the match against KKR, Delhi Capitals registered 228/4 in the allotted twenty overs and then restricted their opponent to 210/8, winning the match by 18 runs.

Anrich Nortje was the pick of Delhi bowlers as he scalped three wickets. He dismissed Sunil Narine, Eoin Morgan, and Pat Cummins. "I'm just happy we could win and get the team over the line. I think the boys really bowled well. Maybe in one or two overs they got all of us, but I think in general the plans were good and everyone executed them well, so well done to the boys," Nortje said in an official press release issued by Delhi Capitals.

The 26-year-old pacer has been playing a perfect second fiddle to his fellow countryman Kagiso Rabada so far and in the match against KKR, he finished with figures of 3/33 in the challenging conditions of Sharjah and helped the team to regain the top spot in the points table. "I think I just try to keep it basic, and not overthink things. Once you think too much about the big or small ground, and how easy it is sometimes to hit sixes you get a bit carried away, so just stick to your skills - what you have been training, and that is what's going to get you over the line," said Nortje. Delhi Capitals is currently at the top of the IPL standings and the side will next lock horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday, October 5. "It's going to be a good challenge. They have got a pretty good line-up, and have some big names. But, I think we have got a good team as well and the guys have been training really well.
