But they had died down in the weeks running up to Kadhemi’s Washington visit during which he had faced pressure from hardliners to secure a firm withdrawal date for all remaining US troops.

Unalloyed Lies Mark Modi Govt’s Statements In Parliament In Monsoon Session
The first week of the monsoon session of parliament has revealed a lot about the character of the Modi government. In the space of a few days, the government went on record with two untruths. The first was the equivocal statement by the minister of information technology refuting the media reports about the use of the Pegasus spyware in India and blandlyasserting that “No unauthorised surveillance has taken place”.The second was a shocking statement, as an answer to a question in the Rajya Sabha,wherein the minister of state for health announced that there were no deaths due to oxygenshortage reported by the states and union territories. The false and egregious nature ofthese two statements reveals a lot about the authoritarianism of the Modi government and its contempt for parliament and the people.To deny and lie about facts has become the default position of this government. So whenthe country is faced with a vaccine shortage, the government stridently denies there is anyshortage and accuses the state governments who have complained, of playing politics orbeing plain inefficient in getting people vaccinated. It is another matter that the government has given three different accounts in parliament ofthe number of vaccines produced by the two manufacturers of Covishield and Covaxin andthe number of doses available for vaccination. The fact is that the rate of vaccination production has not increased and the government has been consistently inflating the amountof vaccines available for use.The government is also vehemently denying that there is any underreporting of deaths dueto Covid when studies increasingly show that the number of Covid deaths are at least tentimes more than the official count. That this is not a problem of lack of reliable data or misinformation is evident in the wayPrime Minister Modi praised the Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh for tackling theCovid pandemic, calling it “unmatched”, in Varanasi on July 15, just a few days before themonsoon session began. Disregarding the massive cock-up in tackling the second wave in Uttar Pradesh, the bodiesfloating down the Ganga, the hundreds of bodies buried in shallow graves on the river bankand horrific reports of village after village struck down by the deadly virus with no treatmentavailable, for Modi, this was a governmental response worthy of praise as “unparalleled”. What this posture struck by Modi, shows is that, this is a post-truth government which seeksto fashion its own narrative ignoring facts and realities. Post-truth is a term denoting circumstances where objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion thanappeals to emotion and personal beliefs. Whether it is vaccines, or deaths due to oxygen shortage, or the actual toll of Covid deaths,the Modi government’s attitude shows an utter callousness to human lives which is unprecedented for any democratically elected government.The first week of parliament also saw the kisansansad (parliament) being held in JantarMantar daily to highlight the farmers’ opposition to the three acts passed by parliament lastyear. After eight months of continuous protests on the borders of Delhi, the kisanorganisations decided to hold their own parliament, though heavily restricted by the police.Here again, the BJP government’s response is to ignore the issue and pretend thateverything is going well with agriculture and the kisans in the country. The perverted logic ofan authoritarian government is unless we recognise there is a problem, there is no problemat all.The refusal to be held accountable in parliament for anything with regard to public policy andexecutive decisions has led to a peculiar situation. The country can know the truth about theRafale deal only through an investigation by a judicial body in France since the Modi government doggedly refuses to accept there is any wrongdoing that needs an enquiry.The Pegasus scandal is being investigated by the French government and even the Israeligovernment has announced a review of the procedures for sale and use of the spywareproduced by the Israeli company, the NSO. But in India, no such enquiry can be held sincethe - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara government refuses.

Amid rising Covid-19 cases, Centre sends team to Kerala to take stock of situation Kerala has reported over 22,000 infections for the last three days, which comprises over 50 per cent of the national daily case count. Agency News: New Delhi The Centre on Thursday decided to send a six-member team from the National Centre for Disease Control to Kerala to take stock of the Covid-19 situation. The state has reported over 22,000 infections for the last three days, which comprises over 50 per cent of the national daily case count. “Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has decided to depute a high-level multi-

Centre read.The development comes a day after state-level serosurvey data released by the central government revealed that only 44 per cent of Kerala’s population above the age of six years had so far been infected with the coronavirus, against the national average of over 67 per cent. This, in effect, meant that a much larger proportion of the population in the state is still susceptible to the disease compared to many other states. Also, the number could, at least
partially, explain why Kerala is continuing to report a high number of cases.Reacting to the report, former state finance minister Thomas Isaac asked the Narendra Modi government to provide more vaccines to states
