PDP distances itself from the delimitation exercise on technical grounds
By: Muzamil Bhat Ck
PDP which is a part of PAGD has said that in order to participate in the delimitation exercise, as they have no MPs, MLAs. The party said on Friday that technically they have no MP’s as the MP’s are the associate members of the delimitation commission presently a National Conference has three sitting MP’s from Kashmir valley and they will have to take a call on the participation in the delimitation commission meetings.
In a press conference on Friday PDP said that the Srinagar Cantonment Board should revisit its decision to charge the property tax from the people who live within their jurisdiction and described it as unjust.
PDP said that parties in Jammu and Kashmir have the choice to decide at their own level whether to participate in the delimitation exercise or not.
Meanwhile KNO while reporting the press conference of PDP on Friday has said, “However, as far as PDP is concerned, we have no MP and MLA at present so we can’t participate in the process,” he said when asked about PAGD’s participation in delimitation exercise, adding that the way commission has been designed, only the elected representatives are entitled to participate in the exercise.
He further stated that there are reports that the people living within the jurisdiction of Srinagar cantonment Board are being asked to pay property tax. “Instead of helping the people who have been suffering from 2019, the government is pushing the people to the wall,” he said.
Bukhari added that the government should revoke its arbitrary decision of charging property tax from the local dwellers, saying that it is unfortunate that people after working hard buy shelter for themselves and are now being asked to pay for it again, which seems that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are being weakened economically as well as politically.
About objection over AIIMS in Kashmir, he said that the initiative has been taken after much hard-work from the party’s founder late Mufti Muhammad Sayeed. “Amid the current Covid situation, there is a need to increase health infrastructure in J&K and thus it should also be allowed to come up at earliest for the wellbeing of the people,” he said.
Moreover, he said that some documents are being circulated on social media at present, which created panic among the people. “Although some people call it rumors only, but the government has the responsibility to address the concerns of people and inform the people on record that there is no need to panic,” he said.
However, he stated that although there is a trust-deficit between the government and public after August 05 2019 decision, but the government needs to come forward to calm the minds of distressed people.
He also expressed sympathy with the families who got affected in the overnight blaze at Noorbagh area of Baramulla district and appealed the district administration to provide them with compensation.

People invariably believe that money can make them happy -- and rich people usually do report being happier than poor people do. But if this is the case, shouldn't wealthy people spend a lot more time doing enjoyable things than poor people?
Nobel Prize-winning behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman has found, however, that being wealthy is often a powerful predictor that people spend less time doing pleasurable things, and more time doing compulsory things and feeling stressed.
People who make less than $20,000 a year, for example, told Kahneman and his colleagues that they spend more than a third of their time in passive leisure -- watching television, for example. Those making more than $100,000 spent less than one-fifth of their time in this way -- putting their legs up and relaxing. Rich people spent much more time commuting and engaging in activities that were required as opposed to optional. The richest people spent nearly twice as much time as the poorest people in leisure activities that were active, structured and often stressful -- shopping, child care and exercise.


Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani called on President Asif Ali Zardari at Aiwan-e-Sadr on Thursday night and discussed a host of issues including overall political situation in the country.
According to sources, the two held threadbare discussion on the apex court’s judgment regarding swiss cases and the government’s stance in this regard.
Both the president and the prime minister agreed that the government has adopted a constitutional and legal stance in the apex court regarding Swiss cases because the president enjoys immunity under the constitution and that no case can be opened against him. They said the government respects the judiciary and proceedings of other cases reopened after the apex court’s verdict on NRO are continuing in the courts.
President Asif Ali Zardari said that some elements are spearheading a baseless campaign against the government regarding the Swiss cases and the impression is being created that the judiciary and the government are on confrontation course. The government has always revered the apex court and will continue to do so in future as well, he said adding there would be no confrontation between the judiciary and the government
Overall political situation, situation after the arrest of Faisal Shahzad, implementation on the 18th amendment and other important matters also came under discussion during the meeting.
Later, the president hosted a dinner in honour of the members of the constitutional reforms committee. Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza and members of the 18th amendment implementation committee also attended the dinner.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Tanzania's President John Magufuli said Saturday he was shocked by an attack on a UN base in the restive Democratic Republic of Congo which killed 15 Tanzanian peacekeepers.
The soldiers were all members of the Tanzania People's Defence Forces participating in a peacekeeping operation in the conflict-torn eastern region of the country.
‘I am very shocked and saddened to hear of the deaths of our young, brave soldiers and heroes who lost their lives carrying out their peace mission in our neighbour the DRC,' Magufuli said in a statement in Swahili.
He added that two other soldiers were still unaccounted for, though it was unclear if one of those was already included in the death toll.
The UN base in North Kivu province came under attack by suspected Ugandan rebels on Thursday.
Five Congolese soldiers and a further 53 personnel were also injured, the UN Security Council said.
The attack is the worst loss of life to a UN peacekeeping force since 1993 when 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed in Somalia during clashes with a local warlord.
DR Congo's huge eastern region has long been wracked by violence, but fighting between government soldiers and militia groups, as well as inter-ethnic clashes, has increased significantly this year.
UN chief Antonio Guterres led an outpouring of outrage over the deadly ambush, calling it a ‘heinous' act.

National Initiative for Civic Education (Nice) Trust says there is still more work to be done to ensure that people in Thyolo District are familiar with the country’s justice system.
Thyolo Nice civic education officer Moses Kaunda said this on Tuesday during one of the organisation’s community engagements in Traditional Authority (T/A) Khwethemule in the district.
He said the meeting revealed that many people in the district were not aware of some basic justice procedures like how to seek police bail, which is free.
Kaunda: Inadequate knowledge of the justice system fuels corruption in courts
Said Kaunda: “We are having access to justice community engagements in different places to equip the masses with knowledge pertaining to criminal justice system, mainly targeting vulnerable people like women, children, the elderly as well as those in conflict with the law.”
He said during the exercise, they are accompanied by the police, Legal Aid and Judiciary officials where people are asking questions and answers are provided.
“Through the engagement people are being drilled in human rights issues and where to go if something goes wrong.
They are also told to avoid taking the law into their own hands,” said Kaunda.
Thyolo Police Station officer in-charge Ulemu Kalua said the community engagement will help to reduce mob justice, which is currently on the rise in the district.
He said enriching the masses with criminal justice system information can reduce some cases that could have been avoided, adding that even suicide cases among men, which are on the rise, could be reduced.
Said Kalua: “We are telling people in these community engagements that they should always visit police victim support units spread across the district to be assisted on how to solve their problems.
“We are urging people to stop mob justice which sometimes kills innocent people and removes evidence that could lead police to do more on the issue in question.”
T/A Khwethemule commended the district stakeholders for the engagement, saying people are now aware of where to report their matter once they face problems.


Meghalaya government has been left red-faced after 41 persons from the state crossed over to Assam to attend a wedding party at Greenwood Resort in Guwahati amidst the ban on inter-state movement.
One of those from Shillong, who attended the wedding party, tested positive for COVID19 on Monday.
During a press briefing, health minister AL Hek and the director of health services (MI), Dr Aman War, could not provide an answer as to how these persons managed to attend the wedding party at a time when the inter-state movement has been “banned” by the Meghalaya government.
War said he has no information related to the permission given to them to go and attend the wedding party in Guwahati.
The people of Meghalaya are also questioning the state government on how the ban on inter-state movement is being imposed because people from outside the state continue to enter Meghalaya every day.
People fear that Coronavirus has spread to the community in some areas after a number of people from outside Meghalaya who came to the state have been infected by the virus.
Movement of people from other places to Meghalaya is continuing every day.
Health Minister Hek informed that the number of people from other states, who arrived in Meghalaya on Monday, was 20,282.
“The government cannot stop the citizens of Meghalaya from coming in as well as people from other states, who are working in Meghalaya,” Hek said.
The Meghalaya government had earlier asked only its stranded citizens who want to return to the state register with the state government.
There were 10,287 stranded citizens who had registered with the state government before returning to the state.
Hek informed that there are many persons who came to Meghalaya without registering themselves in advance, and the state government is arranging transportation on payment basis.
After recording very few COVID19 positive cases in the last few months, Meghalaya has suddenly seen the rise of positive cases between June 30 and July 6.
Till June 30, there were only 53 positive cases including 10 active cases.
However, till July 6 (Monday), the number of active cases has gone up to 36, taking the total positive cases to 80 in the state.
So far, 43 people have recovered from the disease, and one has died.

(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt) Egypt's Minister of Finance Mohamed Maait has announced that e-government receipts witnessed an increase of 223% at the end of July compared to the same month of 2019.
The significant rise reflects the continuous development efforts of the country's electronic payment (e-payment) and collection system. It also shows that Egypt has overcome any obstacles in implementing e-payment systems a way that contributes to improving its ranking in international indicators, especially those concerned with measuring the competitiveness.
Maait also reviewed a report on the performance of the e-payment and collection system for government dues since its launch in May 2019.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance on Thursday, Maait directed for continued efforts to raise the efficiency of this advanced system. This will ensure it continues to contribute to the gradual transformation into a "digital Egypt", including a cashless economy, and the promotion of financial inclusion, in line with the automated services provided by the state.
Maait said that the executive regulations of the law regulating the use of cashless payment methods recently approved by the Council of Ministers contributes to laying the foundations for the transformation of electronic payment and collection methods. This would see significant improvements not only in the administrative authorities, but extend the umbrella of non-cash payments to the public and private sectors.
Maait pointed out that there is a six-month period for the bodies addressed by this regulation to adjust and to provide means of acceptance of non-cash payment for those dealing with them in all outlets for the collection of services at no additional cost.

Prime Minister Ersin Tatar has said that the government has a fund of 30 million TL to manage the outbreak of Covid-19 and that more money will be found. He noted, however, that this would not be easy.
Speaking yesterday at a plenary session of the TRNC Assembly during which the coronavirus pandemic was discussed, Tatar said that all necessary measures against the disease had been taken with courage and at the right time and remain in good order.
He that the TRNC, which had protected both its own people and foreigners, must take the place it deserves in the world now.
Tatar also said that 6,700 tests for the coronavirus had been performed so far, 19 patients are still being treated, 1,500 Turkish Cypriots had been repatriated to North Cyprus and 400 people are still in quarantine. He said that they have around 5,000 test kits and that the more tests they do, the clearer the situation will be.
Also addressing the assembly, Foreign Minister Kudret Ozersay said there would be specific criteria for opening up the sectors of the economy that are now closed due to the coronavirus and that a “new way of life” in those sectors would be determined. Responding to those who criticised the government for mismanagement of the crisis, Ozersay said those who want to see how a crisis is managed should look at the United Kingdom. “The situation in Spain and Italy is well known”, he added.
Turkish Republican Party (CTP) opposition leader Tufan Erhurman also criticised the government for failing to make the necessary preparations for the sectors of the economy that are closed due to coronavirus and has offered to help.
He said that if the government does not want help, it must make these preparations on its own and called on it to realise the seriousness of the situation. Also noting that the government will provide 1,500 TL in aid for each employee to employers who promise not to lay off their workers, Erhurman said the 1,500 TL per month is an amount that is not enough for the minimum cost of food and other basic necessities.
Noting the financial difficulties they will face, Erhurman said that the time will come when the closed sectors of the economy will be re-opened and a crisis management centre will be set up to manage the economy.

KUCHING: The Sarawak DAP has asked the state government to check whether quarry operations just outside the city are affecting the soil, after residents expressed concern over their safety.
The quarry operations are being carried out at the 7th mile near residential areas such as Taman Mei Lee, Taman Wai Leong, Taman Sentosa and Sentosa Height.
Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen said the residents feared that the operations could affect the soil and trigger a mishap.
Chong, who is also the also the Kota Sentosa assemblyman, said Bandar Kuching MP Kelvin Yii had raised the matter in the Dewan Rakyat in April.
Although it was later discovered that the quarry operations fell under the jurisdiction of the state government, Putrajaya could write to the Sarawak Land and Survey Department as well as the urban development and natural resources ministry to request a detailed soil study,” he told a press conference here today.
Chong said it was not reasonable to argue that the quarry operations were already taking place when the residential areas were developed.
“A number of poultry farms had been built near the city but once a development was planned, the farms would be told to relocate,” he said.
Yii had said the residents had expressed concern over their safety, especially among children and senior citizens, as the quarry was just an estimated 250m from Taman Mei Lee.
He said that in December 2008, a rock had landed in the area, causing damage to two houses, and residents would occasionally experience tremors because of blasting at the quarry.
“Based on the ministry’s specification, the buffer safe zone between a quarry and residential area should be more than 600m,” Yii said.


In the post-COVID-19 scenario, Pakistan’s GDP is projected at -1% to -1.5% for the outgoing fiscal year, however, it is expected that the country’s GDP will witness a growth of 2% in the next fiscal year, said Adviser to Prime Minister on Finance and Revenue Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh.
He was speaking at a webinar organized by the ICAP, “Pakistan Economy Post-COVID-19: government perspective.”
He noted that the real worry for the government is how to increase the gross domestic product (GDP) when there are so many tendencies towards its contraction. He further claimed that next year the GDP will be around 2%.
The adviser said that it is too early to say what will be the scenario after one year but the fiscal deficit was projected at 9% for the current fiscal year will need to be brought down next year, and the government will try to reduce the debt, which is another challenge.
Talking about the post COVID-19 situation, the adviser said that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had predicted 3% global growth. The contraction in global economy had been affecting the country’s exports as had been witnessed in April during which the exports declined by 40% as compared to last April.
Likewise, unemployment is going up due to the lockdown and low economic activity while the revenue collection has also declined so the expenditure side is going to be affected. He said that the government had taken comprehensive measures and announced Rs. 1.2 trillion economic stimulus package to help businesses and vulnerable segments of the society deal with the challenges of the coronavirus.
The adviser said that with the reduction in interest rate, the cost of debt will also decline.
Shaikh said that the discussion with the IMF has been ongoing and they have been very supportive of the incentive package and extraordinary package to the construction industry. Hafeez noted that when the government came to power, the country was facing a severe economic crisis, however, efforts were made to get the country out of these crises while certain tough decisions were made which ultimately produced results.
He noted that the agriculture sector, which is facing a real threat with locust attack, will be important for revival, and if the overall global economy improved, the hit on exports will be lesser.
Shaikh said that taxes, a historical failure, will be corrected, and documentation and registration will continue.
Owing to those policies, he added, the current account deficit was reduced from $20 billion to just $3 billion. In addition, confidence was restored in global players and financial institutions after the country entered into the IMF program, which provided $6 billion whereas Asian Development Bank (ADB) and World Bank (WB) are also backing the country.
He further noted that textile is very important for Pakistan and the present government had provided subsidy on gas and electricity to support them and expedited their refunds.
He said that the challenge for the government is to keep trying that lockdown took place in hotspots as there is no such thing as a full lockdown.

NEW YORK: Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Monday that Pakistan’s decision to join the US-led war on terror was the biggest mistake in history.
The PM, who is in the US to address United Nations General Assembly, was addressing the Council of Foreign Relations in New York today.
The PM said that if the US was unsuccessful in Afghanistan for the past 19 years then it is a bleak possibility it will emerge victorious in the next 19 years.
Regarding the ongoing situation in occupied Kashmir, the prime minister said that the world community should ask India to lift curfew in the valley.
He further said that the Indian nefarious designs became apparent due to its efforts to have Pakistan blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
In his speech, the premier said that the previous governments failed to find a solution to the economic woes, adding that due to the persistent issues, the current government had to rely on the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
PM Imran said that China, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates helped Pakistan and particularly its economy in taxing times.
The prime minister said that when his party came into power, the economic condition of the country was in dire straits and China was the first country to help.
While responding to questions, PM Imran said that the government approached the IMF due to current account deficit.
He further said that the US had left Pakistan alone after the withdrawal of Russia (former Soviet Union) from neighbouring Afghanistan.
After 9/11, the US needed Pakistan’s help once again, said the prime minister.


NYPD Engaging in ‘Proactive’ Protester Arrests
The N.Y. Times examines internal police reports in which NYPD commanders discuss their use of “proactive arrests,” covert surveillance and psychological tactics at antiwar rallies in 2002.
The country that wages preemptive war now has a city police force making “proactive” arrests.
In five internal reports made public yesterday as part of a lawsuit, New York City police commanders candidly discuss how they had successfully used “proactive arrests,” covert surveillance and psychological tactics at political demonstrations in 2002, and recommend that those approaches be employed at future gatherings.
Among the most effective strategies, one police captain wrote, was the seizure of demonstrators on Fifth Avenue who were described as “obviously potential rioters.”
The reports provide a rare glimpse of internal police evaluations and strategies on security and free speech issues that have provoked sharp debate between city officials and political demonstrators since the Sept. 11 attack.

For years, Rodrigo Terpins knew about how to make things better for the people who were a part of the rally car industry. There were a lot of ways in which Rodrigo Terpins was able to help people see the benefit of the industry and that’s what pushed him to be even more successful. Since Rodrigo Terpins’s family knew what he was doing and they were also a part of the rally car industry, they were supportive of the opportunities he put into place. It made him want to help even more people than what he could in the past and that was why he pushed to make more people have an understanding of the industry. Rodrigo Terpins believes in helping people. He also knows there is a lot of value that can come from working hard in the way he did with the rally car industry. Since he spent a lot of time showing people how they could do similar things, he felt good about what he was giving back to the industry.
Even when struggled with helping people understand rally car racing, he continued putting in the work and doing the best job possible. It was his idea to keep giving people positive experiences so they didn’t have to worry about how the rally car industry was changing. It was also a way for him to reach out and help more people have a better understanding of what they could get from the industry.
Now that he’s doing more with his own career and everything he can push forward to help people with, he’s making a positive decision to help everyone with the issues they’re facing. He’s also doing a good job at giving more people what they need to make the industry better. Between working with the timber industry and doing everything he can to make it more sustainable, he knows what it’s like to help people through all the experiences they need on their own. He also feels he has a chance to keep giving others what they need to get from the sustainable timber industry.
