Rahul Gandhi’s “Chowkidar Chor Hai” campaign against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019 discomfited many Congress veterans, Ghulam Nabi Azad, who quit the party last week, said today. After the Congress lost the election and the BJP won a second straight term, Rahul Gandhi quit as Congress president.

Senior leaders like Manmohan Singh, AK Antony, P Chidambaram and Mr Azad were present at the time.“He made everybody raise their hands- those who said chowkidar chor hai. I was sunk in my chair. So many senior people who have been Chief Minister,

We can right, left and centre oppose somebody but not attack them personally.”Mr Azad said it was unthinkable for politicians like him to launch a personal attack on opponents.“We got our political education under Indira
Gandhi. While I was junior minister, she called ML Fotedar and me and said we should keep meeting Atal Bihari Vajpayee. See the difference between leader and leader. She said Atalji is also a politician, he must also want to see work done. He will be hesitant to talk to me. So you ask him. So we go the education to respect our elders.

SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Indian ‘Rupay’ And Russian ‘Mir’ Look For New Opportunities Together It is good to know that Russia and India are in an advanced stage of discussion on acceptingeach other’s debit and credit cards. Should the two countries agree, Indian ATMs(automated teller machines) will soon accept Russian MIR cards. And, Indian RuPay cardswill be accepted in Russia. Further, the two countries are considering the mutualimplementation of interbank transfer services — India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI)and SPFS, the Russian version of SWIFT. India’s acceptance of MIR cards will provide a bigboost to the five-year-old Russian electronic fund transfer system at a time when the countryis facing wide-ranging financial sanctions from western countries and Japan.Until now, MIR is accepted in 11 countries, comprising mostly central Asian republics(members of the former USSR). The recent partners include Turkey, Venezuela and Cuba.Iran may also recognise MIR. Russian banks have been banned from the SWIFT systemglobally as a result of the western and Japanese financial sanctions on Russia. MIR may beintroduced in the near future in many countries which Russians often choose to visit forrecreation. More than 15 countries have already expressed their willingness to accept MIR,including such popular tourist destinations as Egypt, the UAE and Thailand. India’s Goa isalso very popular among Russian tourists.India has been slow in marketing RuPay in other countries. Only four countries — the UnitedArab Emirates, Bhutan, Singapore and Nepal — use India’s 10-year-old RuPay card system.Introduction of RuPay cards in Russia will sharply enhance India’s financial connectivity in aworld dominated by American cards such as Best Buy, Apple Card, Mastercard, Visa, ChaseSapphire Preferred and Chase Freedom Unlimited. Globally, the most popular credit cardcompany is Chase. Visa has a strong credit card network, with 353 million cards incirculation as against Mastercard’s 319 million. The Reserve Bank of India’s monthly bulletinfor July, last, said there were 76 million credit cards in circulation in the country in May,compared with 923 million debit cards. And, the next month onward millions will be able tobuy whatever they’ve set their hearts on and pay through RuPay linked to the UnifiedPayments Interface (UPI). As of April 1, this year, the number of MIR-compliant cards incirculation exceeded 125 million.Further, India and Russia are considering the mutual implementation of interbank transferservices — UPI and SPFS. SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank FinancialTelecommunications. SWIFT is a member-owned cooperative that provides safe and securefinancial transactions for its members. The System for Transfer of Financial Messages(SPFS) developed by the Central Bank of Russia is a counter measure of the SWIFTsystem. About 70 foreign financial organisations from 12 countries have already joinedRussia’s domestic alternative to the SWIFT financial messaging system. Russia is trying tohelp its financial sector adapt to unprecedented Western sanctions followed by removal from SWIFT. However, the Russian system lacks the easy international connectivity and operates onlyduring weekday working hours, while SWIFT operates round-the-year, 24 hours a day.SPFS messages also have size limits that make it difficult to handle more complextransactions. Russia has been preparing for a SWIFT ban since 2014 after the invasion ofCrimea. In April 2014, a number of Russian banks were blacklisted by the US. Both Visa andMasterCard suspended the targeted banks’ services and blocked them from using theirpayment systems. The very next month (May) the Russian government passed a new lawintroducing the National Payment Card System, later known as MIR. India has beenconsidering the use of rupee-ruble denominated payments using Russia’s messagingsystem SPFS to pay for arms, oil, fertiliser and other imports from the sanctions-hit country.The prospect of reciprocal use of RuPay and MIR will hopefully lead to higher levels of tradeand tourism between the two countries.Russia is also trying to rope in all the member countries of the Shanghai CooperationOrganisation (SCO) to join its SPFS. According to the countryEconomic DevelopmentMinister Maxim Reshetnikov, Russia wants to - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara boost the volume of settlements.

4 New Born baby from Rajkot with life-threatening heart defect gets new lease of life
Sunvilla News: Ahmedabad A 1 month old baby weighing 1 kg was shifted from Rajkot to Narayana Multispeciality Hospital Ahmedabad. Baby was just 1kg at birth. An echocardiogram revealed the baby was suffering from a condition called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)—the presence of a fatal opening between two major arteries (the aorta and the
pulmonary artery) that carry blood away from the heart. At Narayana Multispeciality Hospital Ahmedabad, a child’s PDA was stopped by the world’s smallest device Dr. Vishal Changela - Consultant Pediatric Cardiology, Dr. Atul Maslekar - Senior Consultant; Adult and Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon, and Dr. Hetal Shah - Senior Cardiac Anesthetist was present in this surgery. Before birth, the ductus arteriosus in the foetus is kept open by certain body chemicals to receive oxygen directly from the mother’s placenta, bypassing the lungs. Once born, the child should start breathing using the lungs, and the ductus arteriosus— which is no longer needed— should close. PDA arises if this does not happen spontaneously. A large PDA would allow oxygen-rich blood from the aorta to mix with oxygen-poor blood in the pulmonary artery. This would result in too much blood flowing into the lungs.
