In the death of three-term former Chief Minister Shiela Dixit, Delhi has lost its loving daughter who was a mother to younger politicians cutting across party lines as was clear from tribute by Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari who became highly emotional while speaking to media on her death despite the fact that he recently won Lok Sabha against the departed leader who welcomed him like a mother when he went to seek her blessings on winning election against her. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia while declaring two-day state-mourning and state-funeral on her death, even cancelled their personal pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi. Above all, Prime Minister Narender Modi joined unending stream of politicians and others having visited her residence to offer fl...
Quality and prices of generic medicines

Quality and prices of generic medicines

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to BJP MP Bhartruhari Mahtab raising issue of generic drugs in Lok Sabha on 19.07.2019, rightly demanding an inquiry to find out the efficacy of generic drugs quoting recent book-study that Indian drug manufacturers were producing quality generic medicines for US and European countries with sub-standard generic medicines marketed in domestic market. Companies exporting generic medicines should be checked and required to file affidavits that generic medicines for domestic and foreign markets are of the same quality. Such a mention may otherwise also not be baseless where generic medicines in India have Maximum-Retail-Price MRP printed at exorbitant profit-margin upto 400-percent over the ex-factory price. Looting general public through cheap-considered generic medicines must no...
Outdated law of keeping mobile-phone of victim having helped police in getting phone-snatcher arrested should be changed

Outdated law of keeping mobile-phone of victim having helped police in getting phone-snatcher arrested should be changed

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to outdated legal-provision whereby the person having helped police in getting hold of a phone-snatcher has to deprive with his mobile-phone to be kept in police-custody after a failed attempt of mobile-phone having been snatched. Mobile-phones in general have valuable data which has now-a-days in fast changing life-style have rather become lifeline of mobile-users. It is even more strange that police does not allow to withdraw the complaint so that the victim may not have to compulsorily deposit his mobile-phone in police-custody till court-orders. Such outdated legal-provisions are in fact root cause of dutiful people avoiding filing police-complaints not only in their own interest but also in in larger interest of society where no person may exhibit boldness in getting a ph...

A Call to stop Labelling the Baluch people as Terrorists

समाचार
Ahead of Imran Khan, Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and his delegation’s visit to the United States of America on 22nd July, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) sent a letter to President Trump requesting his intervention in the deteriorating situation in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan. Sixteen, cross-party, pan European MEPs signed the letter during this week’s European Parliament plenary session in Strasbourg, France. The MEPs highlighted the dire situation for the Baluch people stating that “The people of the province have legitimate grievances – they are relatively powerless against the State trying to silence them.” The economy of Pakistan in recent years has been in decline leading to a debt ridden State. As such, the Government of Pakistan has beco...

किसी उबड़-खाबड़ सड़क पर गाड़ी का टायर अचानक पंक्चर हो जाए तो मुश्किल खड़ी हो जाती है। भारतीय शोधकर्ताओं ने इस मुश्किल से निजात पाने के लिए नैनोटेक्नोलॉजी की मदद से ऐसी तकनीक विकसित की है, जो टायरों की परफार्मेंस बढ़ाने में उपयोगी साबित हो सकती है।  केरल स्थित महात्मा गांधी विश्वविद्यालय के यूनिवर्सिटी सेंटर फॉर नैनो-साइंस ऐंड नैनो-टेक्नोलॉजी के शोधकर्ताओं ने रबड़ से बनी हाई-परफार्मेंस नैनो-कम्पोजिट सामग्री विकसित की है, जिसका उपयोग टायरों की भीतरी ट्यूब और इनर लाइनरों को मजबूती प्रदान करने में किया जा सकता है।  नैनो-क्ले और क्रियाशील नैनो-क्ले तंत्र के उपयोग से इनर लाइनर बनाने के लिए विकसित फॉर्मूले को गैस अवरोधी गुणों से लैस किया गया है। इससे टायरों के इनर लाइनर की मजबूती बढ़ायी जा सकती है। इंटरनेशनल ऐंड इंटर यूनिवर्सिटी सेंटर फॉर नैनो-साइंस ऐंड नैनो-टेक्नोलॉजी (आईआईयूसीएनएन) ने टाय...

Opposition should not insist on Prime Minister responding to big lie of US President Donald Trump for diplomatic reasons

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Both House of Parliament on 23.07.2019 witnessed noisy scenes by opposition-members demanding personal appearance of Prime Minister to give clarification on yet another big lie of Donald Trump out of about 12000 he has so far spoken as US President. Opposition-demand apparently looked justified because habitual liar Donald Trump named specifically Prime Minister Narender Modi having asked Donald Trump to mediate with Pakistan on Kashmir issue. But US President is biggest powerful person in the world, and for all diplomatic reasons, clarification by Prime Minister Narender Modi personally would have annoyed Donald Trump which would have cost India heavily in many aspects. Not only Government of India through late-night instant press-release followed by categorical denial by Indian Foreig...
IB enquiry necessary for self-acclaimed intellectuals joining hands with anti-national and communal elements in provoking minorities and Dalits against majority community

IB enquiry necessary for self-acclaimed intellectuals joining hands with anti-national and communal elements in provoking minorities and Dalits against majority community

Central government should refer names of those self-acclaimed intellectuals who have written to Prime Minister on mob-lynching etc allegedly on minorities and Dalits (and not on those many from minority section who brutally killed people from majority community) to Intelligence Bureau for finding their real motives. Intention was clear when convenor of press-conference on 24.07.2019 declined to respond to media-persons on incidents of Hindus having been brutally killed by Muslims. Such people are not less guilty than elements like Akbaruddin Obassi always provoking Muslims against Hindus through his poisonous speeches. Enquiry should also be made and public-land snatched from NGOs who were liberally granted huge pieces of land and funds by earlier UPA and Congress governments because of...
Supreme Court should take sue-motto cognizance of strange verdict of Ranchi court directing distribution of Quran as pre-condition of bail

Supreme Court should take sue-motto cognizance of strange verdict of Ranchi court directing distribution of Quran as pre-condition of bail

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
It refers to strange-most decision of a Ranchi-court wherein the concerned judge granted bail to a young Hindu girl on pre-condition of distributing five copies of Islamic Quran. Such a decision is not only a forced court-attack on religious freedom of Hindu girl, but even has unnecessarily developed a religious disturbance when several Hindu organizations have stood in full support of the girl who has boldly decided not to abide with the court-order and to challenge the verdict in higher court. But big question is who will be responsible for mental torture and cost involved in challenging such a religiously-designed court-order. Judges are also human-beings and should be treated like others for giving such disturbing verdicts not only hurting religious sentiments of the ordered person ...
Silver-alloy commemorative-coins should be issued on face-value

Silver-alloy commemorative-coins should be issued on face-value

addtop, TOP STORIES, समाचार
Silver-alloy commemorative coins for first time after independence issued on 02.10.1969 to commemorate Gandhi Birth Centenary at face-value of rupees ten at a time when value of silver-content in the coin was much lower than face-value of rupees ten. Moreover these coins and their coin-sets were issued to general public right from date of issue on 02.10.1969. But system has now been changed when face-value of silver-alloy coins is much-much less than the silver-content of the coin, evidently doing away with system of providing commemorative coins at face-value to general public. Now only coin-sets in plastic-packs in two different categories of Proof and Uncirculated categories are sold at much exorbitant price through a cumbersome booking-procedure making these reach to those having bo...
