Terming the ICJ judgement inthe Kulbhushan Jadhav case a"comprehensive victory" forIndia, BJP leader Arun JaitleyThursday said Pakistan hasbeen given an opportunity tocomply with the rule of lawand it is now under a "globalgaze" as to what direction itfollows.

The former finance min-ister took a dig at the neigh-bouring nation over its claimof victory following the ver-dict, as he called it "farcical"."The ICJ has given Pakistanan opportunity to complywith the rule of law and re-form its processes. Will Pak-istan use this opportunity orsquander it? Pakistan is nowunder a global gaze as to whatdirection it follows," Jaitleywrote in a blog. The Interna-tional Court of Justice judge-ment is a "comprehensive

victory" for India and Pak-istan lost conclusively beforethe ICJ, he said, adding theneighbouring country's farci-cal processes through whichinnocents are held guiltystand exposed. A plain read-ing of the ICJ judgementshows that India won on al-most all counts, he said. TheICJ Wednesday ruled thatPakistan must review thedeath sentence awarded toJadhav.

Karnataka Bharatiya JanataParty legislators threatened tosit in protest all night inside thestate assembly sit to demand afloor test on Thursday eveningafter Speaker KR Ramesh Ku-mar adjourned the House forthe day, news agency ANI re-ported in the evening.

Karnataka Speaker decidedto adjourn the House until 11am on Friday despite GovernorVajubhai Vala's advice to com-plete the process of vote of con-fidence that Chief Minister HDKumaraswamy had moved bythe end of the day.

Vala's message to Kumarcame after a BJP delegationcalled on him and requested todirect the speaker to conduct thevote of confidence Thursday it-self, amid fears by the party thatthe ruling coalition was tryingto prolong the debate to buytime to shore up numbers.

In his message, Vala said,"The motion of confidencemoved by the chief minister ofKarnataka is in considerationbefore the House today. Thechief minister is expected to

maintain the confidence of theHouse at all times during histenure.”

“I, therefore, send this mes-sage to the House to considercompleting the proceedings ofthe House by the end of theday."

Vala's message under Arti-cle 175 of the constitutionadded that completing the pro-ceedings by the end of the waywill uphold the highest tradi-tions of democracy and parlia-mentary practice. The speakerread out the message and said: "I have brought it to the notice ofthe House". A BJP delegationmet the governor even as the as-sembly was debating the confi-

dence motion amid fears by theparty that "extraneous" issueswere being raised by the coali-tion to prolong the debate. "Wehave a fear that somewherethere is an attempt to save thisminority government," BJPleader and former chief ministerJagadish Shettar told reporters.Within minutes of Chief Minis-ter Kumaraswamy of ally Jana-ta Dal (Secular) moving a con-fidence motion in the House,Congress said they wanted theprocess put off until the Speak-er took a decision on a whip ithad issued on 15 rebel MLAs.Seeking the trust vote, Ku-maraswamy, whose govern-ment now faces the threat of

collapse after 15 ruling coali-tion MLAs resigned, said therebel MLAs had cast doubtsabout the coalition governmentacross the country and “we haveto tell the truth”.

Most people buyinggold ornamentsspend much time se-

lecting fine designs but theyrarely pause to find out howpure that gold is and how it ispurified. Though not one forwearing any gold myself,while doing minor researchon “how” gold is purified, Icame across two different de-

scriptions:one, acomplicat-ed maze ofscientif icterms andthe other, as i m p l e r

one. It speaks of three steps:pulverising the ore, alongwith dirt and rock minerals;washing and sifting that pow-der several times and finallyputting it through the furnace.

Gold or the goldencolour, besides being used forornaments, is also used to cre-ate something outstandingand shining. No wonder thenthat gold is used in temples,mosques, churches, viharas,and gurdwaras. We have thusthe Golden Temple in Amrit-sar and the Al Aqsa Mosquein Jerusalem, the gold Bud-dha statues in viharas andmany Hindu temples in Indiahave tons of gold. Obviously,we want our places of wor-

ship to be the best, havingpossibly the purest and mostexpensive metal available.

One of the metaphorsused in the Bible, as also else-where, for purifying one’scharacter and bringing outone’s best qualities, is that ofgold being refined and puri-fied in fire. St Paul writes, “Ifanyone builds on this founda-tion using gold, silver, costlystones, wood, hay or straw,their work will be shown forwhat it is… It will be revealedwith fire, and the fire will testthe quality of each person’swork.”

The Christian belief isthat God, who has made usfor himself, tries to draw thebest out of us by cleansing us,using the three steps em-

ployed in purifying gold. Butonly if we let him! Like theore covered with dirt and rockmaterial, the “gold” in us col-lects dross or rubbish alonglife’s journey, expressedthrough our greed for things,lust for flesh, selfishness andego-centrism, lying andquashing others to get ahead.God sometimes uses toughmeans on us to grind suchnegativities in us. While thesemay appear as problems to us,it is the first step God uses tomake us like pure gold.

God then finds ways ofwashing and sifting us asthoroughly as possible byproviding us His Word andteachings through our scrip-tures. He provides us time tomeditate and pray.

YUGMARG, CHANDIGARH, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2019

Is the H.D. Kumaraswamy government’s fate sealed? Afterthe Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday that the 15 rebelCongress and JD(S) MLAs, whose resignations brought the

Janata Dal (Secular)-Congress government to the brink, cannotbe compelled to take part in the trust vote that the Ku-maraswamy-led government has moved for July 18, there wasquiet jubilation in the BJP camp. The prospect of the BJP form-ing a government in Karnataka under state chief B.S. Yeddyu-rappa is clearly an all-too-real possibility.

While the Congress reacted with predictable outrage, thebench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi gave SpeakerK.R. Ramesh Kumar some room to decide on the resignationsof rebel MLAs by saying the time-frame of the decision wouldbe left to him, heading off what could have become a con-frontation between the court and the Speaker.

But as the coalition partners attempt now to prolong the in-evitable by seeking a debate on the confidence vote that maylast until Monday, Congress legislature party leader Siddara-maiah has approached the Speaker with a set of arguments thatboils down to whether all MLAs, bound as they are by the rulesof the Assembly, must seek prior permission of the Speaker toremain absent from the House or face disqualification.

The situation may therefore not see an early closure. In oneof two separate petitions handed over by the coalition partnersto Mr Kumar on Wednesday, the Congress states that the court'sorder indirectly infringes on the right of political parties to is-sue a whip. It also states that none of the rebels has sought theSpeaker’s permission to remain absent from the House, whichthey say is a clear case of violation of rules of the Assembly;implying that these have been ignored by the court.

The Congress, in a bid to further cut the rebels’ numbers,has also moved a petition for the disqualification of minister R.Shankar on the grounds that he met governor Vajubhai Vala andextended support to the BJP less than a month after giving a let-ter to the Congress that he would merge his outfit, the Kar-nataka Parjnavantara Janata Party, with the Congress.

As for the JD(S), for whom the loss of Karnataka will comeas a huge blow as it is unlikely to have the numbers to form agovernment on its own in the near future, chief minister Ku-maraswamy made a last-ditch attempt to save the coalition byoffering to step down and allow a Congress leader to take overthe reins. How the drama unfolds on Thursday, however, willdepend on the Speaker’s decision on the rules of the House onone hand, and that of the BJP against the possibility of the de-bate on the trust vote being dragged beyond Thursday. TheCongress-JD(S) has 101, and the BJP 107, in a House of 224.The numbers say it all.

EditorialSC order death knell for

Cong-JDS govt?

The present crop of Indi-an political parties havebeen largely incapable

of taking on the BJP’s brandof authoritarian and religious-ly sectarian politics. Manythink that the hope of an alter-native politics may lie withthose who work outside theframework of political partiesin the voluntary sector.

Could they somehow be-come effective in reviving thepolitics of resistance in an in-creasingly authoritarian, ma-joritarian and relentlesslymarket-driven polity? Thequestion may seem odd at atime when NGOs, humanrights organisations, or whatare broadly called civil socie-ty organisations, seem to belosing steam.

Civil society organisa-tions have been under a con-stant onslaught for the pastdecade. What started with theostensible aim of preventingmoney laundering and terror-ist funding through ForeignContributions Regulation Act(FCRA) in 2010 has endedwith specific targeting of civ-il society activists. The FCRAwas the response to interna-tional pressure by the Finan-cial Action Task Force(FATF) on Money Launder-ing on countries to “reviewthe adequacy of laws and reg-ulations that relate to entities

that can be abused for the fi-nancing of terrorism”. TheFATF had found India non-compliant in terms of its rec-ommendations in 2010. Evenbefore the FATF report couldbe published, eager to com-ply, the Indian government atthat time led by the Congressbrought in a stringent FCRA.This law allowed the govern-ment the discretion to de-scribe troublesome civil soci-ety organisations as “politi-cal”, and thus to prevent theiraccess to foreign funding.

The targeting of civil so-ciety organisations, startedunder the Congress govern-ment, mushroomed into afull-blown onslaught on themunder the BJP. Organisationsthat spoke up for protection ofhuman rights, the rights ofminorities, dalits or tribals

were constantly on the State’sradar. Their licences werecancelled and their officebearers termed “anti-nation-al” or “urban Naxalites”.Many continue to be ha-rassed, entangled in legal cas-es or incarcerated. All this isfairly well known.

However, the sections ofcivil society that remain func-tional seem to have capitulat-ed quickly. Can they be thebasis of hope of an alterna-tive? From the 1970s to the1980s, the civil rights move-ment both at the national lev-el and in the states was fairlystrong in India. They werevoluntary in nature and fund-ed themselves through contri-butions. The agitated over is-sues of poverty, gender, caste,minorities, workers and peas-ants. A major transformation

in this sector seems to havecome with the once liberalavailability of foreign funds.However, foreign fundingchanged the focus of civil so-ciety organisations to investi-gations and reports. Defend-ing the people and fightingfor their rights at the groundlevel became less and less im-portant.

Because the State sawthem as adversarial and actedor threatened to act againstthem, sections of civil societyorganisations withdrew fromgetting involved in peoples’struggles. It was easier to be-come post-mortem expertswho would send investigationteams and write reports in theaftermath of a conflict.

Foreign donors also en-courage this as they viewsuch reports as their main“output”. A social activist de-scribed this process as the“project-ising” of civil socie-ty organisations, who cease tobe interested in a social issueonce the project funding for itis over. Foreign funding alsoputs civil soceity organisa-tions in a quandary overwhether they should focus onthe agenda of the funders oron the issues of tribals, dalits,landlessness, poverty or otherpressing local issues? It isalso possible that once theseorganisations see the fate of

activists in conflict zones,their desire to survive pre-vents them from taking up is-sues which can pit themagainst the government andthose in power.

There is also a tendencyfor civil society organisationsto see themselves as apoliti-cal, and to project their agen-da as non-partisan. This leadsthem to equivocate aboutabout whether they stand onthe side of the weak, whoserights need to be protectedagainst the onslaught of theState, and the interests it pro-motes.

If they are to be the nurs-ery of an alternative politics,Indian civil society organisa-tions need a course correc-tion. Many social activistsfeel that there is a need to getout of the observation andrecommendation mode andmove towards activism, eitherbased on forming tradeunions or associations of in-terest groups.

To reduce their dependen-cy on donors, and particularlyforeign donors, civil societyorganisations once again needto go back to voluntary con-tributions. Innovative ways offunding need to be designed— such as looking not for asingle big foreign donor but alarger basket of domesticdonors and charities. The re-

tail contribution of volunteersand other donors will alsogive them a sense of owner-ship. The State is the protec-tor of rights given by the Con-stitution, and activists’groupscan push it to do its duty byusing protests, sit-ins, strikes,non-cooperation, or politics-by-other-means. For this, civ-il society organisations willneed to get out of the profes-sional NGO mode and goback to voluntarism. Just aspolitical parties ask people tojoin them voluntarily and be-come stakeholders in their fu-ture, so should civil societyorganisations make peopletheir partners. They can createa network of volunteers andmembership among the af-fected people, instead of rely-ing only on the well-inten-tioned vocal elite. This alonewill give ordinary people astake in the activites of civilsociety organisations.

They will also have towork in local politics outsidethe metropolitan cities. In-stead of working in their cen-tralised silos in metro loca-tions and aiming for bigchange, it might be more pro-ductive for them to decen-tralise and work with localbodies like municipalities,elected village and districtbodies, and state administra-tions.

Where parties fail, can civilsociety succeed?

SPACE RACE NOTWITHSTANDING,MOONWALK A FEAT OF MANKIND

Ican’t pay no doctor’s bill/(But Whitey’s on themoon)/ Ten years from

now I’ll be payin’ still/ (whileWhitey’s on the moon),” de-clared the American perform-ance poet Gil Scott-Heron.

In the run-up to thisweek’s 50th anniversary ofthe first human steps on theheavenly body nearest to ourearthly abode, it may seemchurlish to recall the contextof that undoubtedly tremen-dous accomplishment. Ittends to get short shrift in theplethora of documentaries,books and articles commem-orating that signal achieve-ment, which is hardly surpris-ing. But there was a context.

The nation that mesmerisedthe world by putting men onthe moon was not only rivenby economic and racial dis-parities at home. Perhapsmost egregiously of all, it wasdevoting a lot more billions ofdollars to creating craters inVietnam than it was to inves-tigating them on the moon.

And, of course, there wasanother crucial context: theCold War. The first Sputnik in1957 had both shocked andfascinated America. Shortlyafter John F. Kennedy’s pres-idential inauguration, the So-viet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarinbecame the first human beingto orbit Earth in April 1961.America’s Alan Shepard was

blasted into space the follow-ing month, but his 15 minutesof suborbital flight, comparedwith Gagarin’s 108-minuteorbit, tended to confirm theimpression that the Sovietswere far ahead. Yet whenKennedy, to his credit,broached the subject of spacecollaboration, including apossible joint moon mission,with Nikita Khrushchev laterthat year, the latter baulked atthe idea. His son SergeiKhrushchev says on the re-cent PBS documentary Chas-ing the Moon that his fatherfeared US technology was infact more advanced, and thatany joint venture would ex-pose Soviet deficiencies.

Trump, Saudis & Iran: Istoppling in the offing?

The British warships inor steaming towards thePersian Gulf offer fur-

ther evidence of GreatBritain’s total subservience tothe United States. When USPresident Donald Trump re-neged on the “Iran nucleardeal” — the Joint Compre-hensive Plan of Action signedin July 2015 — and tried topressure the other signatoriesto do likewise, they issued ajoint statement that the Unit-ed Nations Security Councilresolution endorsing the dealremained the “binding inter-national legal framework forthe resolution of the dispute”over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.Not any longer, it would ap-pear, and certainly not forTheresa May’s discreditedgovernment tottering in the fi-nal stages of extinction.

Her passive obedience toBig Brother on the other sideof what used to be called “thepond” — meaning the At-lantic Ocean — isn’t surpris-ing after the way Tony Blair,the Labour Prime Ministerfrom 1997 to 2007, kotowedto George W. Bush Jr over in-vading Iraq in 2003. MrBlair’s first foreign secretary,Robin Cook, suggested thathis boss worshipped power,which Mr Bush radiated. MsMay isn’t a consequentialenough public figure for any-one to try to analyse her mo-tives. What is worrying is thatit isn’t yet clear whetherWashington has another top-

pling in mind. While MrTrump’s thunderous rhetoricand provocative actions cer-tainly suggest another“regime change” may be inthe offing, his earlier direwarnings about a border wallthat Mexico would pay forsuggests a degree of bluster inhis political style not neces-sarily backed by action. Atthe same time, Venezuela’sPresident, Nicolas Maduro,isn’t the only head of govern-ment to accuse the UnitedStates of manufacturing hu-manitarian crises in order tofind an excuse for invasion.

If the United States doesembark on another such ad-venture, it will be less to sup-port the principle of non-pro-liferation than to cosy up toIran’s sworn enemy, SaudiArabia, which has emerged asthe central pole in America’sWest Asian diplomacy. MrTrump’s close partnership

with the desert kingdom iscausing ripples of resentmenteven in Washington, whereboth Republicans and De-mocrats cited the war inYemen, the murder of aprominent Saudi journalistJamal Khashoggi in Istanbuland other human rights abus-es to introduce legislationcalling for a “comprehensivereview” of the US-Saudi rela-tionship. The bill introducedby Senator Jim Risch, chair-man of the Senate ForeignRelations Committee, alsocriticises the all-powerfulSaudi Crown Prince Mo-hammed bin Salman andseeks to impose travel restric-tions on Saudi royals until thekingdom improves its humanrights record. The measureseeks to authorise the Presi-dent to suspend US visas ofSaudi citizens, includingspecifically government em-ployees and descendants of

King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud,the founder of modern-daySaudi Arabia and the CrownPrince’s ancestor, while al-lowing for exceptions fordiplomatic personnel andheads of state.

The opportunity for voic-ing this disapproval camewhen Mr Trump sought con-gressional approval for an“emergency” transfer of $8billion worth of precision-guided and high-technologyweapons to Saudi Arabia andthe United Arab Emirates foruse in the Yemen war. TheUAE now seems to be pullingout of Yemen, but it alwaysplayed a secondary role in thecrisis. Saudi Arabia is theprincipal player and also byfar the biggest buyer of USarms. The bill is co-spon-sored, among others, by MrTrump’s close ally, SenatorLindsey Graham, who is crit-ical of the Saudi CrownPrince, and Senator JeanneShaheen, a Democrat. Al-though the bill doesn’t men-tion weapons (possibly be-cause selling them is so im-portant for the beleagueredAmerican economy) it is anundisguised indictment of MrTrump’s foreign policy. Lastyear’s $110 billion deal withRiyadh will mean sales oftanks, combat ships, missiledefence systems, as well asradar, communications andcybersecurity technologyworth $350 billion over 10years. The great religious di-

vide between Shia Iran,which has always prided itselfon its Aryan roots, and theArab world, which is over-whelmingly Sunni, can meannothing to Mr Trump or hisinfluential son-in-law andsenior adviser, Jared Kushner.But Mr Kushner’s reportedfriendship with the CrownPrince is held responsible forRiyadh’s acquiescence inWashington’s blind supportfor Israel at the expense of allmoral and legal considera-tions as well as long-standingcommitments to the Palestini-ans. The Saudis, once regard-ed as the leader of the Araband Islamic worlds and fore-most champion of the Pales-tinian cause, watched silentlyfrom the sidelines as MrTrump underwrote the shift ofthe American embassy in Is-rael from Tel Aviv toJerusalem, which the Pales-tinians also claim, the annex-ation of Syria’s GolanHeights and the so-calledBahrain plan (believed to beMr Kushner’s brainchild)which will deny sovereign in-dependence to the West Bankand reduce it to the permanentstatus of an Israeli colony.

Iran may be the payoff.Mr Trump can even dischargehis debt to Riyadh by punish-ing Tehran with an air ofrighteousness. The post-World War II dispensationthat decided the nuclearregime recognises only fivenuclear states.

Defending the people and fighting for their rights atthe ground level became less and less important

pple is yet to announce this Ayear's iPhone

models, but we're already seeing a lot of rumours a b o u t t h e i P h o n e s expected to launch in 2020. Most of these reports have been based on inputs from the supply

chain and should be taken with a grain of salt. A fresh report suggests that Apple could be planning to use time-of-flight 3D sensing camera system for the rear camera setup of the next year's iPhone models. According to a report by Digitimes, Apple is planning to use VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) time-of-flight (ToF) sensors on the rear camera of 2020's iPhone models. This setup is similar to the TrueDepth camera setup that's present in current flagship iPhone models, but on the front. Apple could be looking to add a 3D-sensing camera system at the rear. This would help create a much bigger use case for AR-based applications while enabling users to capture photos with even more details. A previous report from well-known Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, stated that Apple will introduce time-of-flight 3D rear cameras on the iPad models scheduled to launch early next year. As of now, the current flagship iPhone models use a multi-camera setup to sense depth. A ToF VCSEL 3D sensor could make things even better. VCSEL is currently used in a number of consumer electronics products.

ADB lowers India'sGDP growth forecast

Asian Development Bank on Thursday cut India'sgross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast to7 per cent for the current financial year on the backof fiscal shortfall concerns.

"The growth outlook for India has been cut to7 per cent in 2019 (FY20) and 7.2 per cent in 2020(FY21) because the fiscal 2018 outturn fell short,"it said in its supplement to the Asian DevelopmentOutlook (ADO) 2019. "Growth is expected to inchup again to 7.2 per cent in FY2020, helped byrecent reforms to improve the business climate,strengthen banks and relieve agrarian distress," itadded. The US decision to end preferential tradetreatment for India under its Generalised Systemof Preferences (GSP) will have minimal effect asit benefited only 1.8 per cent of all Indian exports,said ADB. Agriculture is expected to grow at ahealthy rate in as current weather trends indicate anormal monsoon. The economic outlook for SouthAsia remains robust, said ADB. The growth isprojected at 6.6 per cent in 2019 and 6.7 per centin 2020. However, deepening trade tensionbetween China and the United States remains thelargest downside risk to this outlook, despite anapparent truce in late June that could allow tradenegotiations between the two countries to resume.

"Even as the trade conflict continues, theregion is set to maintain strong but moderatinggrowth," said ADB Chief Economist YasuyukiSawada. "However, until the world's two largesteconomies reach agreement, uncertainty willcontinue to weigh on the regional outlook."

Khan, the British boxer of Pakistanorigin, has expressed a desire to lockhorns with Olympic bronze-medallistVijender a number of times but the bouthas not materialised yet.

During the announcement of his lastbout, Khan had also claimed that Vijen-der was scared of him. Replying to hischallenge, the Haryana-boxer said it wasKhan who picked juniors to fightagainst.

"I am ready to fight with Amir. Hepicked a junior boxer to fight. Neeraj

Goyat is way junior to me. I had said be-fore and I am saying it again I am readyto fight whenever he tells me to. Heshould stop fighting kids," Vijender saidon the sidelines of a felicitation event or-ganised by Platinum Heavy Duty Ce-ment.

A bout between the two prolific box-ers may, however, be a long shot as Khancompetes in the welterweight category(63.5kg-66.7kg) while Vijender contestsin the super middleweight division(73kg-76kg) but the Indian was quick tocome up with a solution for the problem.

"I can reduce my weight a little andhe can increase it and we can agree on amid point. He has done it before."

Vijender, who is still unbeaten in theprofessional arena, prevailed in his USdebut against Mike Snider with a Tech-nical Knockout to notch his 11th consec-

utive victory in the circuit.Talking about his US debut and the

bout, Vijender said America is the Mec-ca of boxing.

"America is so big, every opponenthas some strength. They say everythingstarts and ends from the US. One of thebest boxers work there.

"I had no idea about Mike before thebout. On the last day, my coach showeda video of him and how he fights. Earli-er, I felt he is not such a good boxer butwhen his first punch connected me, I wasshaken I felt yes now I am in the league."

Talking about his future plans, Vi-jender said his team is working on sched-uling two bouts in the next 6-7 monthswhere he might get a shot at prestigioustitles. "We plan to have two more fights.One around October-September and nextin January-February.

I wouldn't compare them becausethey are very different players and differ-ent people, in the same way it feels likethe right time for Jason. He's playing verywell, growing and developing all thetime and it's an exciting prospect for us."A maiden World Cup title is reason formuch cheer in the England camp, butSmith stressed that the team needed tobuild on that success, with no room forcomplacency, especially with the Asheson the horizon.
