Cong trying to promote terrorism : Yogi
Badaun : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Wednesday accused the Congress of trying to promote terrorism in the country by talking about quashing the provision of treason. “In its manifesto, the Congress mentioned about quashing provision of treason which will promote terrorism,” Adityanath said at an election rally here. He alleged that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said that Muslims have the first right on resources of the country. “By saying this, he insulted the people of the country and tried to divide Hindus and Muslims. The Congress does politics of particular section and talks about its development only,” he said.

“Deeply Regret Jallianwala Bagh”: British PM Theresa May In Parliament
London : British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday described the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in 1919 as a “shameful scar” on British Indian history but stopped short of a formal apology sought by a cross-section of parliament in previous debates. In a statement, marking the 100th anniversary of the massacre, at the start of her weekly Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons, she reiterated the “regret” already expressed by the British government. The massacre took place in Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar on Baisakhi in April 1919 when the British Indian Army troops, under the command of Colonel Reginald Dyer, fired machine guns at a crowd of people holding a proindependence demonstration. Colonial-era records show about 400 people died in the northern city of Amritsar when soldiers opened fire on men, women and children in an enclosed area, but Indian figures put the toll at closer to 1,000. “The tragedy of Jallianwala Bagh of 1919 is a shameful scar on British Indian history. As Her Majesty the Queen (Elizabeth II) said before visiting Jallianwala Bagh

in 1997, it is a distressing example of our past history with India,” she said in her statement. “We deeply regret what happened and the suffering caused. I am pleased that today the UKIndia relationship is one of collaboration, partnership, prosperity and security. Indian diaspora make an enormous contribution to British society and I am sure the whole House wishes to see the UK’’s relationship with India continue to flourish,” she said. In response, Opposition Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn demanded that those who lost their lives in the massacre deserve a “full, clear and unequivocal apology for what took place”.

He also held Congress responsible for rampant corruption and termed it the other cancer in the country. Addressing an election rally in Songadh of Tapi-vyara district and Bardoli LS constituency in home state Gujarat, Modi said, ‘There was a time when the then government did nothing after terror attacks. In my tenure as the then CM of Gujarat, all the sleeper cells of terrorist outfits were destroyed in the state. Now everybody in the state lives peacefully, with harmony
and brotherhood. Terrorism should be wiped out from the whole country at any cost and for peace and harmony in the country. It should be completely uprooted. The roots of terrorism were in our neighbourhood and that is why I took action (of air strike). But they (Congress) have problem with it also. They are asking for proofs. By hearing the weeping of Pakistan, one can understand everything. But they don’t believe the sons of India and have faith on people from Pakistan. Can we hand over our country to them.’ He said,

New Delhi : The tension between Mamata Banerjee and the Congress boiled over today, with the Bengal Chief Minister accusing the grand old party of taking the help of RSS, the BJP’s ideological mentor, on two seats. Mr Gandhi hit back with a reminder. “Has Mamata Banerjee ever compromised with the BJP anywhere?” he said, hinting at her early on-again-off-again relation with the BJP during which she held ministerial berths at the Centre. “Don’t give a single vote to the BJP and don’t give a vote to the Congress.

EC stops release of PM Narendra Modi biopic till 2019 LS polls are over
New Delhi : The Election Commission on Wednesday has stopped the release of Vivek Oberoi starrer PM Narendra Modi movie till the 2019 Lok Sabha elections are over. The poll body said, “Any biopic that subserves purpose of any political entity or individual should not be displayed in electronic media.” The EC order came a day before the

The court said it will examine the secret documents while considering petitions asking for a review of its order giving the government a clean chit on the deal that the opposition alleges was corrupt. at a time questions have been raised over strong-arm tactics to suppress the media. Pointing to the documents, petitioners had called for a
review of the verdict. “These are sensitive documents relating to defence, but that was precisely what we said too - that because they are
documents of importance, they must be treated as part of supporting documents,” said former union minister Arun Shourie, one of the petitioners. The centre had told the court that the documents filed by the petitioners are “sensitive to national security”, those who conspired in photocopying the papers have committed theft and put national security in jeopardy by leaking them to the public. Dismissing the argument, the court said it would fix a date to hear the petitions. Petitioner Prashant Bhushan had argued that “if a document is relevant in deciding a fact, how it was obtained becomes irrelevant”. Citing the US verdict on Pentagon papers leak, he said once documents are published, the government can no longer claim privilege.

Why the Kisan Samman Nidhi makes more sense than NYAY
The noteworthy thing about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) election manifesto for 2019 is that there is little that is noteworthy about it. And, rightly so. A government seeking re-election should use its track record as its manifesto, and focus only on the incremental things it will do if given another term. One sentence in the manifesto that went largely unnoticed, but may have huge significance, is its reference to the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, which has already been implemented partially through the interim budget. Under this scheme, small and marginal farmers are being paid 6,000 per annum in three instalments. In the BJP’s Sankalp Patra released on 8 April, there is a proposal to “expand the coverage of the scheme to all the farmers in the country”. This sentence can be significant for two reasons: One, it can actually enable a deeper reform of agricultural subsidies; and two, it is a bigger step towards universal basic income support than the Congress party’s Nyuntam Aay Yojana (NYAY) scheme to give 20% of the poorest Indian households 6,000 per month, or 72,000 a year. While the Congress scheme needs precise targeting, the BJP promises to extend the Kisan Samman to all farmers, making it near-universal. The scheme currently covers around 85% of farmers with land holdings of up to two hectares, but extension to the rest will not bust the budget math too much. There is no need for any targeting, since the annuity will be paid to all farmers, whatever the size of their land holdings. One can’t say whether BJP really had this in mind, but this is its import. In one fell swoop, it has the wherewithal to make good on its promise to directly increase farmers’ incomes and also achieve subsidy bill reductions by substituting price subsidies with cash transfers. In all probability, while the Congress’s NYAY could be fiscally problematic if it replaces no existing subsidy, BJP’s scheme has the potential to steadily replace subsidies, if implemented in phases, and smartly. The Kisan Samman has a current annual cost of around 75,000 crore at an annual payout size of 6,000 to nearly 120 million farmers. If this is extended to all farmers, its cost could rise at most to 85,00090,000 crore. But it would be universal and make subsidy reductions elsewhere more feasible. Consider this: If all farmers are, for example, offered an additional 6,000 as compensation for an abandonment of fertilizer subsidies, which conveniently works out to around 75,000 crore annually, no farmer will be worse off through the bargain. The fertilizer subsidy bill can be eliminated or drastically curtailed, and overuse of urea ended. A small attack on food subsidies also becomes possible. These target two groups, whose interests are not aligned: urban food consumers and rural food producers. If, by extending the same 6,000 cash payment to urban consumers (which means another 100 million households), the food subsidy bill could perhaps be cut by half, then that would mean another saving of 90,000 crore. The balance of 94,000 crore budgeted as food subsidy this year will be enough to take care of minimum support payments and any remaining food subsidies that cannot be avoided in some parts of the country. If the annual payment even needs to be doubled to 12,000 for urban consumers, it would still be worth it so long as we can wean citizens off opaque subsidies that distort India’s food and fertilizer markets. A politically unsure government can offer cash in lieu of super-subsidized rice, wheat and coarse cereals as a choice in rural areas, and as a compulsory scheme in urban areas. Over time, cash will probably triumph, as it gives the citizen flexibility in terms of how she - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara wants to use the money. Editor

Pay salary or face legal action: Jet airways pilots send notice to CEO
New Delhi : Jet Airways pilots have sent a legal notice to the airline’s CEO threatening legal action over unpaid salaries. The notice states, “The payment of the salaries of my client’s member pilots, has been grossly delayed, and the schedule of payments is getting later and later.” The pilots have not been paid the salary of January, February and March months of 2019. The advocate Jane Cox, in the notice, also mentioned the stress that the pilots are going through. The notice read, “This situation is leading to extreme stress, anxiety and frustration amongst my client’s member pilots - hardly an ideal situation for pilots in the cockpit. Monthly EMIs have to be met, school
& college fees paid, along with medical bills of aging parents ... Each month the pilots are left (a). juggling to meet these monthly commitments; & (b). worried about the future months as the salary arrears just keep building. It hardly needs to be stated that passenger safety - the prime concern of all in the industry - requires pilots
who are flying stress-free and with a free mind.” The notice, in the end, called upon the airline management to pay the salaries outstanding for the months of January, February and March 2019 by April 14, 2019. If the airline failed to pay the salaries for these months, the pilots would then resort to legal methods. Jet Airways’s problems began when it embarked on an aggressive international expansion plan. It was the airline’s ambitious plan to expand business on international routes. It ordered 22 wide-body aircraft for delivery over about 18 months, starting in 2006, depleting cash. However, it failed to compete with low-cost airline like IndiGo and SpiceJet.

At 10:29 am, Vodafone Idea shares traded 1.18 per cent higher at Rs. 17.10 apiece on the BSE, outperforming the broader markets which was down 0.05 per cent. Vodafone Idea and Idea Cellular completed their merger last year to create Vodafone Idea.
SPORTS ROUNDUP
Australia Must Manage David Warner’s Ego: Graeme Smith
New Delhi : Former South African captain Graeme Smith has some advice for Australia coach Justin Langer -- make sure David Warner’s ego is managed if he starts to “get bigger than everybody else”. The opener, on the comeback trail after a oneyear ban for ball-tampering, has been in red-hot form in the Indian Premier League ahead of his expected recall to the national side for the World Cup in England and Wales. But some commentators believe Warner’s return could be disruptive to the team, which is now resurgent after a run of poor results, and that he needs to managed carefully. Smith, who skippered his country for more than a decade, said that while he admired Warner’s batting, he had “pissed a lot of people off” throughout his career. “I don’t know,” he told Fox Sports on Tuesday evening when asked if he would have any issue in welcoming Warner back to the Australian team. “It’s difficult to know what it’s like behind the scenes, but he’s always been an incredible cricketer,” added Smith, who played 117 Tests before retiring in 2014. “Especially when he bats, he
bats with that driven nature, that intensity, ego to perform. And he’s an excellent cricketer. “I think where David has been throughout his career is that he’s pissed a lot of people off. He’s just that type of guy. I think at the moment he needs Australian cricket more than they need him.” Warner is suspected of instigating a plot to use sandpaper to alter the ball in the now infamous Cape Town Test last year. He has long been a divisive figure. And Smith believes his behaviour needs to be monitored closely. “I think he’s very driven, I think he wants to do well, he wants to
prove his worth again. And I think David Warner in that position is probably a good guy to have in your environment,” he said. “It’s when he starts to get bigger than everybody else then probably management needs to be ready for that. “Guys like Langer and whoever is captaining the side going forward need to ensure they stay on top of that and manage that space and that ego well going forward.” The reintegration of Warner and co-conspirator Steve Smith has already begun with the pair meeting the one-day team after their bans expired late last month.
New Delhi : Days before the announcement of the 15-man World Cup squad, there were reports that opener Rohit Sharma may have injured himself Tuesday during a practice session in the ongoing IPL. A CricketNext report said the Indian opener, who is also the Mumbai Indians’ captain, sustained a hamstring injury during a practice session ahead of the clash with Kings XI Punjab on Wednesday. That after walking a few steps Sharma lay flat on the ground holding his head in pain and has photos of the cricketer lying down during the practice session. The report said that the only “bright side” was that the opener gingerly climbed to the dressing room on his own after receiving some treatment from the team’s physiotherapist. The IPL franchise hasn’t made any announcement about the reported injury or its seriousness. Sharma has featured in all the five matches the franchise has played in the tournament
so far, and has scored 118 runs so far. In the first week of the ongoing edition of IPL, India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah sustained a shoulder injury during Mumbai’s match against Delhi Capitals. The pacer landed awkwardly on his shoulder while trying to stop a shot by Rishabh Pant off the final delivery of the Delhi innings. However, the 25-year-old cricketer recovered quickly and was back in action for his side’s next encounter against RCB. Earlier this
week, the Committee of Administrators (CoA) along with the BCCI said that it would announce the 15-member Indian squad for the ICC World Cup 2019 on April 15 in Mumbai. Indian skipper Virat Kohli is likely to attend the meeting as he will be in the city as Royal Challengers Bangalore lock horns with Mumbai on the same evening. The World Cup will kickstart on May 30 in England, with India playing their first match against South Africa on June 5.

On the other hand, Manu Attri-B Sumeeth Reddy played the first match of the day and lost to Danny Bawa Chrisnanta-Loh Kean Hean of Indonesia in a matter of 28
minutes. Manu-Sumeeth could hardly pose a challenge to the Indonesian pair and lost meekly 21-13, 21-17. Later in the day, Pranaav Jerry Chopra-N
Sikki Reddy advanced to the second round of mixed doubles after defeating compatriots MR Arjun-Maneesha 2118, 21-7 in just 26 minutes. PranaavSikki will next be up against fifth seeds Tang Chun Man-Tse Ying Suet of Hong Kong. PV Sindhu has not endured a very pleasing year and then lost to Korea’s Sung Ji Hyun in the second round in Malaysia last week. In the first round of Singapore Open, Sindhu was in no mood to let off her opponent as she rampaged past Lyanny Alessandra Mainaky of Indonesia 219, 21-7. It took the Indian fourth seed just 27 minutes to race into the second round. Sindhu will next be up against Denmark’s Mia Blichfeldt, who beat Indonesia’s Gregoria Mariska Tunjung 21-16, 22-20.

Passengers protest at Navsari station
Navsari : Months after replacing the conventional rake of Valsad- Dahod Intercity Express with LHB coaches, the Western Railway on Wednesday decided to restore the previous arrangement of conventional rakes, after angry passengers stopped the train movement at Navsari station in Gujarat, officials said. Passengers came on the tracks and stopped 12929 Valsad-Dahod Intercity Express at 8.30 am, a Western Railway (WR) official said, adding that the protest affected the movement of other trains coming from up and down directions. However, the track was cleared at 12.10 pm after railway authorities assured passengers to meet their demands, the official said. “Train movement has been restored & normalised at Navsari Station which was affected due to public agitation,” the WR said in a tweet. The passengers were demanding the restoration of the old and conventional rakes in the train, which they feel could accommodate more passengers. WR chief spokesperson Ravinder Bhakar said that the railway administration has agreed to meet demands of the passengers. He added that old conventional rakes will be replaced in the coming days. “Within a week, the replacement of new rakes with conventional rakes one will begin and
existing chair car coached will be replaced with general coaches,” Bhakar said. The sudden agitation, however, inconvenienced other passengers who took to twitter to express their anguish. “@PiyushGoyal I had to reach Nadiad by 12 noon for my work. We are hearing announcement that there is some agitation at navsari st and so all trains are running late. It’s real pity that u guys can’t run the premium train like Shatabdi on time in any situation,” tweeted Hetal Mehta, a passenger. “All trains stuck near Navsari, near surat. 2 hours now, students missing their exams, we missing our important meetings.. why should we suffer because of politics.. please help,” tweeted another passenger.

that if families of martyred soldiers demand evidence of Balakot attack, then they are also Pakistani. This BJP has got completely frustrated. If BJP cannot respect families of martyred soliders, how can they respect the common citizens of the country?
