Nothing more important than a farmer's life: Modi The blamegame over Wednesday’s incident continued between opposing parties leading to adjournment of Lok Sabha proceedings Agency : New Delhi The issue of farmers suicides and the agrarian crisis on Thursday created a ruckus in Parliament a day after a Rajasthan farmer ended his life in New Delhi, with prime minister Narendra Modi stating that these problems are “deep-rooted” and must be addressed collectively for which he is open to suggestions. Expressing his anguish over the suicide by a farmer from Rajasthan during a rally by AAP here, Modi said farmers cannot be left to fend for themselves and assessment would have to be made about “shortcomings” that occurred before his government came as well as dur-
ing his tenure. Observing that nothing is more important than a farmer’s life or for that matter a human life, he said, “The problem (afflicting the farmers) is old, deep-rooted and widespread and we have to seek solutions in that context.” “There should be a collective resolve in this regard. We have an open mind to consider any suggestion that
is made... We cannot let the farmers die,” he said. Opposition members created ruckus in the Lok Sabha over the suicide incident, leading to adjournment of proceedings even as the government said it was ready to discuss the matter. Earlier, home minister Rajnath Singh was critical of the AAP over the incident. Making a statement in Lok
Sabha, he said the crowd gathered for the AAP rally there “clapped” and “raised slogans” as the farmer, Gajendra Singh, climbed up the tree and ended his life. “The crowd was clapping. Police requested them to stop raising slogans. Generally, such people (who try to end lives) are engaged in talks to turn their mind but here the crowd kept clap-
ping and raising slogans,” he said. The home minister’s remarks drew sharp reaction from the Aam Aadmi Party. Accusing Singh of “spreading lies” by alleging that his party volunteers had stopped the police from helping the farmer, AAP leader Sanjay Singh told reporters that television footage of news channels of yesterday’s rally will clearly
reveal the truth and show that several pleas were made to rescue the farmer but the police remained mute spectators. “It was the AAP volunteers who climbed the tree to try and save the farmer but by then he had hanged himself,” Sanjay Singh said. Youth Congress workers staged a demonstration at chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence while BJP workers protested at Delhi Police headquarters demanding action against the rally organisers. In Dausa in Rajasthan, 41-year-old Gajendra Singh was cremated at his native village in the district, with a large number of people including
politicians converging here. The blamegame over Wednesday’s incident continued Thursday with BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi accusing the AAP of behaving irresponsibly. “Rallies can be organised again but a life lost can never come back,” he said. Congress leader Ajay Maken said it was unfortunate that both the BJP and AAP were lashing out at each other. “Both BJP and AAP should do some selfintrospection. The land bill is one of the reasons that is causing distress to the farmers. I think a judicial inquiry should be set up under the Commission of Inquiries Act.
Searching Manohar Parrikar's residence Gujarat: Girl stabbed to death in Rajkot college Agency : Rajkot Makwana (21) reached the will embarrass nation: Goa government An undergraduate girl stu- college at 10:15 am to take Agency : Panaji A Goa court has stayed a warrant issued by a lower court to search the official residence of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar in Delhi to trace convicted former state minister Francisco 'Miccky' Pacheco as the state government held that execution of the order will be an embarrassment to the nation. Pacheco has been convicted for assaulting a junior engineer. Seeking a stay on the lower court's order on warrant on Wednesday night, the BJPled government submitted in
the district court that searching the official residence of the Defence Minister would cause an "embarrassment to the nation." The state made the submission before the district court while challenging the order of Judicial Magistrate First Class who had issued the warrant to search 10, Akbar Road residence of Parrikar. Hours after JMFC, Bosco Roberts, issued the warrant to search 10, Akbar Road residence of Parrikar, district judge PV Sawaikar stayed its execution on the state government's appeal that the police cannot search
Parrikar's house since it is a military property. Additional Public Prosecutor Mahesh Amonkar, appearing on behalf of the state, also told the court that "such a warrant would be embarrassment to the Defence Minister, the Prime Minister and the nation."
Cabinet clears trial of juveniles as adults in ‘heinous cases’ Agency : New Delhi Rejecting the recommendations of a parliamentary committee, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday cleared a proposal to try juveniles in the age group of 16 to 18 years who are accused of heinous crimes under laws for adults. “The Cabinet has approved amendments to the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, whereby juveniles in the age group of 16-18 years can be tried under IPC if they are accused of heinous crimes,” said Communication Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad after the Cabinet meeting. An amendment to the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Bill 2014 will be introduced in the current session of Parliament. The proposed law states that if a person aged be-
tween 16-18 years is accused of a heinous crime, the case will be examined by the Juvenile Justice Board to assess if the crime was committed as a “child” or as an “adult”. “Since this assessment will be done by the board, which will have psychologists and social experts, it will ensure that the rights of the juvenile are duly protected if he has committed the crime as a child. The trial of the case will accordingly take place as a juvenile or as an adult on the basis of this assessment,” said the gov-
ernment. The provision for a two-stage assessment or trial is aimed at bringing about a balance that is sensitive to the rights of the child, protective of his legitimate interests and yet conscious of the need to deter crimes, especially brutal crimes against women. The proposed amendment further reinforces these principles through introduction of a new provision that disallows protection from disqualification in case a juvenile is tried and convicted under the adult system, the government said.

Kalyan Jewellers withdraws 'racist' ad featuring Aishwarya
Agency : Mumbai Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has earned the wrath of activists for an 'offensive' advertisement of a jewellery brand that shows a child carrying an umbrella over her head, but the actor said the actual image was changed by the brand. In the ad, the actor is seen decked in jewels along with the child, dark and emaciated, holding an oversized umbrella over Aishwarya. "This ad you figure in is insidiously racist," a group of activists wrote in an open letter to the
actress slamming the former beauty queen. They charged that the ad also promoted child labour and urged her to dissociate herself from the advertisement campaign. "As an influential member of the Indian film industry and a popular star with a large fan following, we trust that you wish to use your image in a manner that promotes progressive thought and action, and would not knowingly promote regressive images that are racist and go against child rights," the letter to the actress said.

Maharashtra government bans sale and use of ‘manja' kite strings PETA is now urging other states and union territories to follow Maharashtra's example of banning the sale of 'manja' The Maharashtra government has issued a circular banning the sale and use of sharp kite strings called 'manja' which injure and kill birds as well as people. The circular under Section 5 of Environment (Protection) Act 1986 was issued after a petition seeking a ban on 'manja' was filed by a citizen in the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court, according to a People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India release issued here Wednesday. The Nagpur-based organisation People for Animals are a party in the matter. Previously, after receiving appeals from PETA India, the government advisory body Animal Welfare Board of India had urged states and union territories to ban 'manja', while the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change had sent letters urging them to address the issue, the PETA release said. According to PETA, the Maharashtra government order states, "The public is not allowed to use pucca threads, commonly known as nylon manja which is made of plastic or any such synthetic material and is likely to cause grievous injury to birds as well as humans during kite-flying". "Wholesalers dealing in nylon manja will be told well in advance not to stock or sell it during the Makar Sankranti festival. Nylon manja threads are not to be used because they have adverse effects on soil, waterways and cattle populations since they are non-biodegradable and cause immense injury to animals," the release said. "The use of nylon manja threads often results in flash over on power lines and substations, causing power interruptions to consumers, straining and damaging electrical assets and causing accidents, injuries and loss of life as well as damage to environment and therefore, such threads are not to be used for kite-flying," the PETA release said. "The Maharashtra government's decision to address the 'manja' menace is a huge step towards saving the lives of countless birds and many people," PETA India campaign strategist Nikunj Sharma said in the release. "PETA is now urging other states and union territories to follow Maharashtra's example to ban the sale and use of all forms of sharp 'manja' and encourage people to switch to cotton strings to fly kites for the safety of birds, humans and the environment," the release said. Incidentally, the ban on 'manja' has been widely supported. Recently, Nagpur MLA Milind Mane had written a letter calling for a complete ban on all types of 'manja', saying, "During my medical career of 22 years, I have treated many cases of humans injured by manja". Similarly in Nagpur, Orange City Cable Operators Welfare Association wrote a letter asking for a complete ban on 'manja' as it cuts cables, causing financial losses and inconveniencing customers. PETA had run an extensive campaign for nationwide ban on 'manja' use, after which Mumbai became the first city in Maharashtra to ban its sale and use in 2009.

Varun and Shraddha met Govinda on the sets of the show and amazed the guests with their impeccable dance moves. On the show, Varun shared an incident of the time when Mr Dhawan was directing him in Main Tera Hero.

statement. "Govinda sir has spoilt my dad. As an actor, he has set such high standards that it is extremely difficult to reach up to that level.

"As a result,
Main Tera Hero became one of the toughest movies I have done. He is a living legend of our industry and nobody can be like him," he added.

We were supposed to begin shooting in June and news of his wedding came as a
pleasant surprise to us. It was out of the blue and though he was apologetic about it -- June was the core month for us to begin shooting -- he is getting married, so we will have to
rework the schedule. The rains will make it difficult for us go shoot as we have a schedule in Mumbai. Hyderabad and an outdoor as well. We are figuring it out now."

China’s Xiaomi Unveils Mi 4i Smartphone in India

C
hinese smartphone
maker Xiaomi Corp. is seeking to replicate its domestic success by launching its first phone aimed at overseas consumers in India on Thursday. The Mi 4i smartphone is made to appeal to Indian buyers, with features like a big battery to compensate for spotty electricity supplies in many parts of the country. The high-end 5-inch device is priced at 12,999 rupees ($205), or one-fourth the 53,400 rupee price tag of a 16GB iPhone 6 in the country. Xiaomi has shot to the top of China’s smartphone market by offering devices with top-notch specs at bargain
prices, with most of its products sold online to cut costs. Now, Xiaomi hopes to win over Indian consumers with a similar formula, as its growth slows in China due to tougher competition. The Mi 4i was unveiled by Xiaomi in the Indian capital, New Delhi, with a spectacle similar to those that have accompanied its product launches in China. More than 1,500 fans packed an auditorium for Xiaomi’s first launch outside its home country. “It speaks volumes to our focus on India, our intentions and really putting our investment where we believe the future of the company is,” Xiaomi Global Vice President Hugo Barra said to reporters ahead of the launch.
India resilient to shocks but is not immune to US rate hike: Moody's Agency : New Delhi
R
ating agency Moody's
today said emerging economies in Asia Pacific region, including India, have a high degree of immunity to external shocks, but will face challenges when the US Federal Reserve begins raising interest rates. "A common challenge for emerging economies in the region will come when the US Federal Reserve begins to raise interest rates. "Asia Pacific sovereigns generally exhibit strong external payments positions and government debt profiles relative to peers elsewhere in the world - factors that should stand them in good stead,"
Moody's Investors Service said. It said that most Asia Pacific (APAC) sovereigns have a relatively high degree of immunity to external economic shocks but their ratings momentum is diverging as some drive through ambitious reforms, while others struggle with long-standing challenges. "A key risk for credit quality is therefore whether governments can deliver on policy pledges," it said. Moody's has a 'Baa3' rating for India, with a positive outlook.
Even quitting smoking at age 60 can cut death risk
E
Agency : London
ven if you quit smoking at the age of 60, you can lower the risk of heart attack and stroke within the first five years, say German researchers. After a person quits smoking, this risk continues to decrease. On an average, the risk for former smokers is only 1.3 times that of people who have never smoked in their lives. In the most comprehensive study so far on the impact of smoking on cardiovascular disease among older
people, epidemiologist Ute Mons from the German Cancer Research Centre analysed 25 individual studies, compiling data from over half a million individuals aged 60 and older. He found that the more time that has passed since one has quit, the more considerable the decrease in a former smoker's risk of dying from heart attack or stroke. "Within the first five years after smoking one's last cigarette, the risk already decreases measurably," he noted.
