3 COLUMN Nity Chkrborty Finnce Minister Arun Jitley is stedily losing his bttle with the opposition, especilly the Congress President Rhul Gndhi over the fcts on Rfle del. Right now, he is not the Defence Minister but he is tking the most ctive prt in defending the Government decision on the new greement on Rfle purchses ginst blistering ttcks by Rhul Gndhi who hs termed the del nnounced by the Prime Minister Nrendr Modi in Pris in April 2015 s the biggest scm in independent Indi s history, Keeping side the politicl slugfest between the BJP nd the Congress in the finl yer of the NDA regime on the eve of the Lok Sbh elections in 2019, the del hs thrown up some issues which re of prmount importnce in protecting the ntionl interests of the country. Jitley hs not touched those issues in posing 15 so clled questions to Rhul Gndhi. The primry issue is wht hppened in the lst fifty dys before the nnouncement by the Prime Minister on the Rfle del on April 10, 2015 tht the del ws completely chnged in its chrcter nd the public sector HAL ws dropped to ccommodte Anil Ambni led Relince Defence Ltd. The sequence of developments leding to the finl nnouncement of the Prime Minister mkes it pprent tht the Prime Minister hd one point gend to chnger the del scrpping the role of the public sector HAL nd he did not mind, in the process, in scrificing the interests of the country s leding public sector compny in ircrft mnufcturing. As the defence experts mention, the NDA government took power on My 26, 2014 nd by tht time, the finl understnding with the UPA government ws reched for the purchse of 126 Rfles which involved the outright purchse of 18 fighters nd the mnufcture of 108 more in Indi on the bsis of trnsfer of technology. This is most importnt prt s this helps in helping Indi through HAL to technologiclly upgrde the country s R&D since generlly the big foreign defence mnufcturing compnies re very reluctnt on technology trnsfer. The UPA govt got this done in erly 2014 nd the French compny Dssult Avition signed detiled work shre greement with HAL in Mrch 2014 to hve trnsfer of technology nd production of Rfle in Indi. Even in Februry 2015, eight months fter Modi becme the Prime Minister, there ws no chnge s fr s the French compny ws concerned. On Februry 19, 2015, fifty dys before Indin PM s surprise nnouncement bout new Rfle greement, the CEO of Dssult Avition Eric Trppier told pressmen tht he ws confident on completing the finl negotitions nd signing the del for full complement.hal ws in the picture s the collbortor. Then gin on Mrch 25, 2015, Trppier sid in the presence of the HAL officils You cn imgine my stisfction to her from the ARUN JAITLEY IS LOSING HIS BATTLE OF FACTS ON RAFALE DEAL 3 HAL chirmn tht we re in greement for the responsibilities shring, considering s well our conformity with the REP in order to be in line with the rules of the competition. I strongly believe tht contrct finliztion nd signture will come soon. Thus, even fifteen dys before the PM s nnouncement scrpping the role of HAL nd bringing down the number from 126 fighters to 36, HAL ws ctively involved s fr s the French re concerned. But in Modi mgic, things went in different direction t the time of the nnouncement. The dropping of HAL nd induction of Relince Defence ws the Indin decision nd not the decision of the French compny.pm nnounced his decision on April 10, 2015 but even two dys go on April 8, the Indin foreign secretry S. Jishnkr hd no inkling tht such n nnouncement would be mde nd HAL would be excluded. So ll indictions suggest tht this monumentl decision hving prime importnce to the future security of the defence forces of Indi, ws tken by the PM without going through the norml procedures with checks nd double checks in such vitl security re. Jitley s question chrging Rhul of giving contrdictory figures mke no sense s the former defence Minister Mnohr Prrikr himself gve contrdictory figures bout pricing fter the PM nnouncement. Prrikr ws then the Defence Minister. This indicted tht he himself ws not in know of full detils of the del. The best course would be for the Government to disclose the prices. The experts re quoting the price of Rs.1611 crore per plne which is nerly three times more thn the price llegedly greed to by the UPA govt in negotitions in erly 2014.If the Government is confident tht the pricing under the Modi greement is fr more fvourble compred to the pricing under the UPA govt drft, it will be desirble for the NDA government to officilly disclose the prices nd nil the Congress lie. If Jitley cn prove tht the Rfle del hs been in ntionl interests nd the Prime Minister hs been ble to extrct much better del compred to the UPA, this is the best time to disclose the prices nd nip in the bud ll propgnd by Rhul Gndhi nd the opposition. Will Jitley nd the Modi government tke up this chllenge? (IPA Service) LATEST SCAM IN MADHYA PRADESH IS ABOUT FOOTWEARS TO TRIBALS L.S. Herdeni While Mdhy Prdesh Chief Minister Shivrj Singh Chouhn is continuing his Ashrivd Ytr, two controversil events hve hit the hedlines. One reltes to the supply of shoes to tribls nd the other bout the disptch of over one crore letters ddressed to women voters of the stte. The stte government hd gifted shoes nd chppls to tribls. It is lleged tht bnned chemicl hs been used in theses footwers. It is lernt tht Centrl Lether Reserch Institute (CLRI) hs reported the use of zo, bnned chemicl in the inner sole of the footwer, locl news report sid, triggering denil by the stte government. Tribls mke up 21 percent of MP s popultion nd whopping 50 percent in some districts like Dhr, Jhbu nd Mndl. Both BJP nd Congress hve been despertely wooing tribl voters nd distribution of footwer ws one of the recent sops nnounced by the stte government. Mdhy Prdesh Lghu Vnopj Sngh, coopertive body involved in the distribution of the footwer, hd sent smples of it for testing to CLRI, wing of Centrl Science & Industril Reserch (CSIR), fter delivery, sid sources. Forest minister Dr. Gurishnkr Shejwr, however, sid tht the smples were tested before nd fter distribution by Footwer Development & Design Institute, Noid nd n institute in Chenni but none of them detected ny hrmful chemicl. These shoes nd sndls hve been distributed to over 8.13 lkh tribls under the scheme nd they re bsolutely sfe, he sid. The government ims to distribute footwer to 10 lkh tendu ptt pluckers. Recting to the finding, ccording to which the chemicl my cuse cncer, stte Congress president Kml Nth sid in tweet this should be cuse of concern, fter ll no one hs the right to ply with lives of others. Without proper investigtion, how were these shoes distributed? Who is responsible for it? Kml Nth lso issued sttement sking the government to recll ll footwer distributed to the tribl tenduptt collectors. This is relted to the lives of tribl brothers nd sisters. To sve their lives ll distributed footwer should be reclled nd high-level probe should be ordered into the mtter, Kml Nth sid. The PCC chief lso demnded n explntion from chief minister s to how these shoes with dngerous zo chemicl content were distributed to the tribl beneficiries under the Chrn Pduk Scheme. This entire issue stinks of nother scm becuse the stte s finnce minister is giving different explntion, he sid, dding tht big functions were orgnised in the stte to distribute footwer to the beneficiries. The other controversy reltes to the disptch of more thn one crore letters to women voters of the stte. It is climed tht more thn Rs. 4 crore hs been spent in the printing nd disptch of these letters. It is lleged tht government funds nd mchinery hve been used in the printing nd disptch of these letters. The letter gives detils bout vrious schemes implemented for the empowerment of women. It lso seeks blessings of the women to give nother five yer term to the BJP nd prticulrly to Chouhn himself. The stte government directed the postl deprtment to ensure tht the letters rech the ddresses before Rksh Bndhn. Ech letter crries the stmp of Rs. 4 nd 70 pise. The postl deprtment mde specil rrngements for the distribution of the letters. It ppointed nodl officers t stte, division nd district levels. Specil bgs contining one thousnd letters ech were prepred to crry the letters. It ws mssive tsk undertken by the postl deprtment. The BJP hopes tht this unique fet will help in incresing the number of women voters in its fvour. According to newspper nlysis, in the 2013 ssembly elections the voting percentge ws The totl number of women who voted ws one crore 54 lkh nd 65 thousnd. The BJP feels tht women re the min beneficiries of severl welfre schemes of the government nd, therefore, there is every reson to believe tht the percentge of women voters will increse in the coming November Vidhn Sbh polls.

ADVERTISEMENTS ON HEALTH MISLEADING AND MUST BE BANNED MEDIA ALSO HAS A DUTY NOT TO HIGHLIGHT UNFOUNDED CLAIMS Dr. Arun Mitr Treting ptient involves history tking, exmintion of the ptient nd dignostic investigtions s per the need before forming n opinion bout the illness of the ptient nd the differentil dignosis. Only then cn doctor prescribe the tretment, medicl or surgicl s the cse my be. There re set protocols for this methodology nd for specific diseses. These protocols my chnge from time to time. This chnge is effected fter thorough delibertions mong the cdemics of prticulr subject. Telemedicine is still in developing stge to meet the bove criteri. Mny times ptients seek telephonic dvice from the doctor. This is generlly discourged becuse of the possibility of missing severl issues. But these dys one finds incresing dvertisements on vrious types of medi highlighting their chievements nd encourging ptients to get tretment from them. Modern system of medicine does not permit dvertisements to entice ptients. The Medicl Council of Indi frmed code of ethics, the Indin Medicl Council (Professionl Conduct, Etiquette nd Ethics) Regultions, 2002, to fix some norms for this. Any such prctice is considered unethicl. It is presumed tht dvertising is for luring the ptients. The cluse of the code prohibits soliciting of ptients directly or indirectly, by physicin, by group of physicins or by institutions or orgniztions. The code sys tht physicin shll not mke use of him / her (or his / her nme) s subject of ny form or mnner of dvertising or publicity through ny mode either lone or in conjunction with others which is of such chrcter s to invite ttention to him or to his professionl position, skill, qulifiction, chievements, ttinments, specilties, ppointments, ssocitions, ffilitions or honours nd/or of such chrcter s would ordinrily result in his self ggrndizement. The Punjb Medicl Council hd issued notices to severl such violtors in Tht hd led to check on such prctices. A similr code exists for the Phrmceuticl Mrketing Prctices termed s Uniform Code of Phrmceuticl Mrketing Prctices (UCPMP). According to it, compnies cnnot mke clim for the usefulness of drug without up to dte evlution of ll the evidence. Stting ctegoriclly tht drug is sfe nd hs no side effects, toxic hzrds or risk of ddiction is not permitted. Even the comprison of drugs hs to be fctul, fir nd cpble of substntition. Products of other compnies cnnot be disprged either directly or by impliction. Unfortuntely such code does not seem to exist for other systems of medicine. The electronic medi keeps projecting dvertisements like cure of retinl diseses in eyes with gurntee while belittling the modern medicl system. There re lso dvertisements of treting hed che with gurntee with some oils. Similrly we wtch clims of treting ll the diseses in the body by clering the stomch. Yog is projected s pnce for ll diseses. There re severl dvertisements for converting grey hir to blck. Advertisements lso pper for hir trnsplnts. Treting sugr for sure is lso dvertised. About sexul issues, dvertisements cn be seen in plenty on wlls, posters nd print medi. Mny of these dvertisements re given by celebrities. They give wrong impression nd re misleding.

6 B. Sivrmn One of the previling myths bout high-wge high-tech workers in Indi is tht they re only concerned bout their pecuniry benefits. The other ssocited myth is tht their propensity to resort to direct ction to sfegurd their rights nd interests is inversely proportionl to their slry level. Both the myths hve been smshed by the commercil pilots especilly, from Air Indi nd its subsidiries time nd gin. The ltest such disply ws in the middle of August in the context of their exemplry services to the Kerl flood victims. Wht is significnt is tht the Indin Commercil Pilots Assocition (ICPA) suspended their stir over the dely in pyment of wges nd non-pyment of flying llownce nd postponed their decision to go on strike to render this selfless service. They hd even offered to work without pyment to render their services to the people of Kerl, which is significnt considering tht co-pilot erns Rs.5 lkhs nd cptin Rs.7 lkhs per month. Thnks to torrentil rins, the highest in 50 yers, the Cochin civilin irport ws totlly mrooned nd ws officilly closed on 14 August. While defence ircrfts nd helicopters were immeditely pressed into service to rescue the people mrooned, no less significnt ws the service rendered round-the-clock by the commercil pilots of Air Indi nd other irlines in crrying relief mteril nd evcuting the strnded pssengers from Cochin Air Force bse from 16 August onwrds in numerous sorties nd in diverting the Cochin flights to Thiruvnnthpurm nd Kozhikode irports till Cochin Airport resumed opertions, thnks gin to dy-nd-night work of the irport employees there. It ws splendid disply of selfless scrifice rther thn selfish pecuniry crvings. But the Air Indi pilots nd other irport employees remined unsung heroes. However, the Air Indi pilots remined ssertive on their rights ll the sme. The wges of Air Indi employees were delyed for five successive months. The pilots nd cbin crew were not pid their flying llownces, which ccount for 70% of their tkehome py. The ICPA thretened to go hed with their decision to suspend opertions. The mngement buckled in nd pid the flying llownces nd slries on 22 August. It ws mjor victory for the ICPA nd they revoked their decision to strike. ICPA generl secretry Prveen K. Keerti sid, There is no permnent settlement on the issue of delyed wge pyments s the mngement hd not officilly replied to our letter nor hs invited us for tlks. In future the sme story might resume ll over gin becuse the bsic problems giving rise to the finncil crisis like idling of Rs.25,000 crore worth of ircrfts for wnt of spres were not ddressed. Air Indi s ssets hve been vlued t Rs.30,000 crore but its debs hve swollen to Rs.50,000 crore! In August 2004, the controversil decision of Prful Ptel, the then Civil Avition minister in the UPA, to Conn Hllinn Boxing the compss is n old nuticl term for locting the points on mgnetic compss in order to set course. With the errtic winds blowing out of Wshington these dys, countries ll over Asi nd the Middle Est re boxing the compss nd reevluting trditionl foes nd old llinces.

Following the recent elections in Pkistn, Islmbd s foreign minister, Shh Mehmood Qureshi, hs clled for n uninterrupted continued dilogue with New Delhi to resolve conflicts nd estblish pece nd stbility in Afghnistn. Pkistn s new prime minister, Imrn Khn, is critic of the U.S. wr in Afghnistn nd prticulrly opposed to the use of U.S. drones to kill insurgents in Pkistn.

On 1 December 2017, the Supreme Court directed the CBI to complete in the next six months its probe into llegtions of irregulrities in purchse or hiring of 111 ircrft for Air Indi for whopping Rs.70,000 crore. But the CBI under the NDA hs not completed the investigtion. Also tx evder Hsn Ali ws cught with $8 billion unccounted money in Swiss bnks, the kickbck he reportedly got s conduit in the Boeing del with Air Indi. This strtling informtion ws prt of 2007 Enforcement Directorte (ED) chrgesheet. But the Income-Tx Appellte Tribunl set side these chrges nd now Khn is guilty of tx evsion only to the extent of Rs.3 to 4 crore! Well, Khn might hve got reprieve but not Air Indi. It doesn t hve the money to py slries in time or the dues of suppliers such s Airbus, Honeywell, Meggit Interntionl, Goodrich, Hmilton, nd Wesco Electricl etc. leding to the shortge of prts resulting in the grounding of Rs.25,000 crore worth of plnes leding to huge loss. The Modi government first decided to privtise the loss-mking Air Indi nd even ppointed Rothschild nd Ernst & Young s executioners. But the government suspended the ide due to opposition from RSS chief Mohn Bhgwt, who wnted Air Indi to be sold to n Indin corporte house. Tts re still in tlks with the government to tke over Air Indi but they won t tke over the huge ccumulted losses nd would insist on government wiving its huge lons.

Imgine HUGE mze of tiny little stlls selling ll sorts of tiny little electronics nd ccessories. We ended up buying phones cses which we didn t even need some cbles to chrge my iphone nd couple of ccessories for the GoPro. Everything hggled t lughble prices. The 5th floor is more dedicted to digitl cmers Nikon nd Cnon hve officil shops here. Bottom line is: you won t find Zr or Mngo in here. MBK is pcked with smll independent shops, mostly Thi brnds nd designs nd is very populr with the younger crowds. This ws definitely the most pcked of ll shopping spots we ve been, the teenge Thi shopping frenzy cn be exhusting! Chintown :Chintown is the gret option to indulge in more locl nd trditionl shopping experience. It s the perfect contrst to the meg mlls tht re pooping out like mushrooms elsewhere in the city. Aprt from the bsolute chepest prices in Bngkok hggling is necessry wht I like bout Chintown is tht you re exploring such lively nd rich re t the sme time. Wndering round the lively lleys is timeless experience by itself! The whole thing is kind of ll over the plce, but there re specific sections for some stuff. Hed to Yowrt Rod to check the gold vendors, Blnn Plz for ll kind of shoes (bewre of fkes!) nd Itsrphp Lne for food items. Chintown cn be too frugl, hot nd busy for some, but it s definitely worth visit! Chtuchk Mrket With over 15,000 booths nd stlls, Chtuchk Mrket is one of the biggest mrkets in the world. Hppening every Sturdy nd Sundy, it ttrcts both shopping-crving tourists nd locl This. The mrket is divided into 27 huge sections. You cn find the most vried things such s souvenirs, independentlydesign clothes, live nimls nd wood crving items in well signlised corridors nd stlls. I found this plce to be too big. Not big. I men, HUGE. You ll need lots of time nd ptience. Despite the good will nd orgnistion, it s very difficult to find the correct section you re heding while mnging the crowds. After ll, 200,000 people come here on the weekends! Hving tht sid, it s GREAT plce for shopping souvenirs, clothes nd other typicl Thi items. We sved visit to Chtuchk for our lst dy in Thilnd nd gld we did, otherwise we d hve to crry lot of things round during our islnd hopping itinerry. It s impossible to leve this plce empty hnded!
