Gandhi was speaking at a cer-emony to honour eminentEditor Vinod Mehta, whopassed away recently, with G KReddy Memorial Nationalaward. The award was receivedby Mehta's wife Sumita.

Addressing the gathering,which included former Prime

Minister Manmohan Singh, theCongress President said, "In thepresent climate when dissent isbeing stifled, when the minori-ties feel increasingly insecure,when the secular fabric of oursociety is threatened, when big-otry and obscurantism seem toflourish unchecked, we missVinod Mehta's works."

Gandhi has accused PrimeMinister Narendra Modi of run-ning a government "of somepeople, by one person, for aselect few". Lauding Mehta'sintegrity, honesty and commit-

ment to values, she said, "Hehas never failed to raise hisvoice against religious intoler-ance, communal violence andsocial injustice." Calling Mehtaa passionate upholder of our"democratic and secular ideas",the Congress President said thathe was also a courageous cru-sader of the causes that hebelieved were just and a proudand "eloquent advocate of ourpluralistic society".

She also quoted the lateEditor as saying that politiciansand journalists can never be

friends and they were naturallyadversaries. "But he wouldhave been surprised that howmany of us across the politicalspectrum looked to VM as afriend," she said.

Gandhi said that Mehta hadan instinctive understanding ofwhat the freedom of the pressmeant "to our country, that itwas a cornerstone of ourdemocracy and without thisfreedom, all our other libertieswould be threatened".

The award carries a cheque ofRs 5 lakh, a gold medal and

citation. Mehta, a distinguishedEditor and commentator whohad successfully launched anumber of newspapers andmagazines, passed away inNew Delhi on March 8 afterprolonged illness. He was 73.

attacks on Congress,Parrikar said, “Congresshas spent 218 crores in thename of Ordnance factoryat Korwa, but nothing hasbeen produced in it tilldate.” Backing Parrikar'sremarks, another BJPleader Sambit Patra saidthat Rahul Gandhi comesunprepared during debates.

“He comes withoutdoing homework. Foodpark was closed due toUPA government's deci-sion. Had there been LandBill, the park would havebeen built,” he said.

Meanwhile, Congressleader Gaurav Gogoi toldZee News that the BJP isbusy doing marketing andnot any work.

“Defence Minister

should not raise questionson Rahul. He is makingpersonal attacks. BJP isbusy doing marketing andnot work,” he said.

Raising the issue in theZero Hour, Gandhi hadsaid he had "liked" Modi'spromise in Amethi duringthe poll campaign that hedid not believe in the poli-tics of revenge and wasthere to practice politics ofchange.

"Politicians offer promis-es to people and the onemade by the PrimeMinister is the biggest...What he is doing is politicsof revenge," he said,adding that the Centre hadscrapped the project in hisfamily pocket-boroughwhich would have benefit-ed farmers in 10 districts.Congress members protest-ed with cries of 'shame,

shame'.BJP members often inter-

rupted Rahul as he high-lighted how he worked tohave the food park projectallotted to Amethi afterfarmers' raised the issuewith him.

At one point, Gandhiretorted to the continuousdisruptions by the rulingparty members, "I am nottalking about suit but pota-to. You should not bescared." He was referringto his 'suit-boot ki sarkar'jibe at the Modi govern-ment at an earlier occasionin the House.

Talking of the farmers'concern, he said, "Theyasked me what is thismagic that they sell potatofor Rs 2 per KG but a pack-et of chips having not morethan one potato's contentsells for Rs 10.

PORBANDARA strategically important new

Naval base--INS Sardar Patel--was today commissioned here,which Navy chief RK Dhowansaid will help boost security ofGujarat's 1600-km coastline.

The base was commissionedby Gujarat Chief MinisterAnandiben Patel, who used theoccasion to mount an attack onthe earlier UPA government,accusing it of ignoring the secu-rity concerns on the state coast-line.

Patel unveiled the plaque andread the commissioning warrantof the new base which is secondin the state for the Indian Navyafter INS Dwarka near Okha.

Speaking at the event,Dhowan said the new base willhelp Gujarat strengthen securityon its coastline.

"Gujarat is a thriving mar-itime state, which has 1600 kmlong coastline. The state has 43private and public ports whichhas contribution of 50 pet centin country's maritime indus-tries. Around 120 milliontonnes crude reaches variousrefineries in Gujarat from theGulf of Kutch," Dhowan toldreporters on board Naval shipINS Kolkata.

"Besides, Gujarat has also ablooming ship building industry

that comprises both the publicand private ship yards. Thereare big fishing companies andalso there are off-shore oildevelopment area in sea blocksin Gujarat coast," said Dhowan.

"These are our sea propertieswhich has direct relations witheconomical condition ofGujarat and the country as well,he added.

"Navy has responsibility toprotect our sea borders. Today,we have commissioned INSSardar Patel that will ensurecoordination requirements ofour ships, submarines and air-craft that will be deployed incoastal regions of Gujarat.Their operational and adminis-trative support and logistic sup-port will be given by the newbase," said Dhowan.

Noting that Gujarat's longcoastline was important from

the strategic point of view, theChief Minister said Congressgovernments ignored coastalsecurity of Gujarat during theirregime and ultimately, thecoastal border of the state wasused in "anti-national activitieslike terrorism, smuggling ofdrugs and weapon."

"Last month, Indian CoastGuard and Indian Navy appre-hended a suspected ship withnarcotics substance of Rs 600crore. We have to remain alerton the issue of coastal security,"she said.

She also hailed the initiativeof naming the base after SardarVallabhbhai Patel.

"It is the matter of pride notonly for Gujarat but also forIndia as a Naval base has beennamed after Sardar Patel at thebirth place of Mahatma Gandhi," the CM said.

PANAJINarad, an ancient Indian sage who

appears prominently in the Ramayana andwas known for disseminating relevantinformation, spreading gossip and carryingtales that often led to fights, has been pro-jected wrongly and should be held up as a"role model for positive journalism", a toprepresentative of an RSS-affiliate hasclaimed. Pranav Bhonde, editor of theMumbai-based Vishwa Samvad Kendra, amedia training and publication centre thatalso acts as the publicity wing of theRashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS),claimed that that Narad, whose flits in anout of ancient Indian scriptures and epicslike the Ramayana and the Mahabharata,was also India`s first journalist.

"Narad rishi not only used to ferry infor-mation from one place to another, but healso had the sense to ferry relevant informa-tion. He would not ferry the information forpersonal benefit, but for the good of thepeople, the country and the religion,"Bhonde told IANS. Bhonde`s organizationis in the process of organizing a series ofevents across the country and in Goa inMay, to celebrate `Maharishi Narad

Jayanti`. According to the lunar calendar,Narad`s birthday fell on May 5 this year. Aspart of the agenda, there will be a letterwriting contest, felicitation of veteran jour-nalist Gurudas Singbal and an interactivesession that local journalists and editors areexpected to attend. "Maharishi Narad fol-lowed the basics tenets of journalism agesago. The information he sourced andpassed on to the people, was difficult toobtain then, when means of communicationwere rare," Bhonde said, claiming Naradwas omnipresent, as journalists are requiredto be, to source information. "It is men-tioned in the old epics and texts that when-ever big incidents occurred, MaharishiNarad was invariably there. He did not missanything. He is an idol for positive journal-ism. We are trying to establish this acrossthe country," he added. The Vedic age sage,has been described in the old texts as hav-ing traversed across the "different worlds"and realms ferrying and sharing his reposi-tory of information with its inhabitants.Naradasmriti, a well-known ancient textwhich also serves as an aggregation ofsocial mores and rules of conduct, has beencredited to the sage.

There was never any doubt that the progressive juve-nile law enacted in 2000 was not being implement-ed properly and that there was a need to revisit its

provisions. In many ways, the Juvenile Justice (Care andProtection of Children) Bill, 2015, passed by the LokSabha, is a forward-looking and comprehensive enactmentthat provides for dealing with children in conflict with thelaw and those requiring care and protection. However, itslaudable features have been overshadowed by one provi-sion that states that children in the 16-18 age group willhenceforth be tried as adults if they are accused of com-mitting ‘heinous offences’. The government believes thatthe provision will help address public disquiet over theperception that young offenders are getting away withlight punishment after committing crimes such as murderand rape. However, child welfare activists have been say-ing there is no need to carve out an exception for childrenin a particular age group solely based on the perceivedheinousness of the offence. The division into two groups— one below 16 and another above 16 — goes against thecore principle that all children should be treated as suchtill the age of 18. This age has been fixed based on studiesin child behaviour and the U.N. Convention of the Rightsof the Child. A parliamentary Standing Committeeopposed the change, noting that subjecting juveniles to theadult judicial system would go against the objective ofprotecting all children from the rigours of adult justice. Itnoted that the Supreme Court had not agreed with the viewthat children involved in certain offences should be triedas adults.

In response to criticism, the government has made somechanges before getting the Act passed in the Lok Sabha. Ithas dropped a patently unconstitutional section (Clause 7in the Bill) that sought to treat as adults, children alleged-ly committing an offence after the age of 16 but gettingarrested only after they are 21. Also, the government hastweaked the wording involved, saying that what theJuvenile Justice Board will hold is a “preliminary assess-ment” rather than a “preliminary enquiry” into the mentaland physical capacity of the child to commit such anoffence. It has added by way of explanation that it is not a‘trial’, obviously to address concerns that the procedure toassess the child’s capacity itself may amount to a regulartrial. The prospects of the government making furtherchanges before the Bill goes to the Rajya Sabha appear tobe bleak. The question before the legislature, and societyat large, is this: do we preserve the scope for rehabilitationamong young offenders through a benign juvenile law, orderive satisfaction from long prison terms for them?

“Whatever the presentposition of India mightbe, she is potentially a

Great Power. Undoubtedly in thefuture she will have to play a verygreat part in security problems ofAsia and the Indian Ocean, moreespecially of the Middle East andSouth-East Asia. Indeed, India is thepivot around which these problemswill have to be considered…India isthe centre of security in Asia.” Theselines are from a Ministry of ExternalAffairs note dated September 5,1946. The notion of an Indian arc ofinfluence stretching from Aden toMalacca was, of course, a staple ofstrategic thinking in the British Raj.Yet, these lines were written not by amandarin of the Raj, but by the fresh-ly appointed vice-president of theviceroy’s executive council,Jawaharlal Nehru.

The importance of India

Nehru’s views on India’s currentand future role in Asian security didnot merely derive from the olderideas held by British officials. Rather,they reflected the reality of themoment. The Second World War hadheralded India’s rise as a majorregional power. Although India hadbeen pulled into the conflict withoutso much as a by-your-leave to thenationalists, it had played animmense role especially in Asia. TheIndian Army had recruited, trainedand deployed some 2.5 million men.They had fought in an astonishingrange of places: Hong Kong andSingapore; Malaya and Burma; Iraq,Iran and Syria; North and EastAfrica; Italy and Greece; Cyprus andCrete.

India’s material and financial con-tributions to the war were equallysignificant. India emerged as a majormilitary-industrial and logistical basefor Allied operations in South-EastAsia and West Asia. Such extraordi-nary mobilisation for war wasachieved at great human cost: theBengal famine was the most extrememanifestation of widespread wartime

deprivation. Yet, in the aftermath ofthe war, India’s importance wasundeniable. By 1946, Japan lay pros-trate in defeat. And China wasenmeshed in a renewed civil war.India stood, therefore, as the mostpotent Asian military power.

It is essential to recall this momentas President Pranab Mukherjee joinshis Russian and Chinese counterpartsto mark the 70th anniversary of theend of the war in Europe. Historicalanniversaries are inevitably politicaloccasions. More so, the anniversariesof the Second World War. During theCold War, the erstwhile Allies werenot only ranged against each other,but also drew the former aggressorsinto alliances. This obviated the pos-sibility of shared commemoration.The renewal of tensions between theWest and Russia over Ukraine hasensured that the current celebrationsare almost as divided as those duringthe Cold War. India’s participation inthe parade will inevitably signal theimportance that it attaches to tieswith Russia. Yet, it is important not tolet politics overshadow history onthis occasion. The government hasdone well to reclaim an essentialepisode in India’s ongoing rise togreat power status.

The ‘Russian threat’

Indian participation in the celebra-tions in Russia is not without irony.Relations between India and Russiaduring the war were far from straight-

forward. The Raj had long heldRussia to be the principal strategicthreat to India. Indian military plan-ners had spent decades drawing upschemes to meet the invader in Kabulor Kandahar. Concerns about thethreat from Russia acquired a freshlease of life after the Nazi-Soviet pactof August 1939. In the early monthsof the war, New Delhi and Londonremained apprehensive of a Russianthreat to India via Afghanistan. WithBritain embroiled in a continentalwar, it was believed that Russiamight find this an opportune time toattack Afghanistan. These concernswere accentuated by the Soviet attackon Finland in late 1939.

The Afghan government was evenmore apprehensive about theRussians. For the past decade, Kabulhad hankered after a British — effec-tively Indian — guarantee againstRussian aggression. AlthoughLondon had spurned these requests,New Delhi took it upon itself to send

a small military mission to Kabul inearly 1940. Even as the Indian andAfghan governments haggled overthe quantum of military aid, theGermans booted the British Army outof Europe. Thereafter, the Afghansdistanced themselves from the British

and sought a rapprochement with theRussians. By late 1940, the Raj wasrelieved at the receding Russianthreat to Afghanistan.

Nevertheless, London and NewDelhi were worried about a potentialRussian threat to West Asia: especial-ly the Anglo-Iranian oilfields and theport of Basra in Iraq. To secure these,a division of the Indian Army wasearmarked to land in Basra. Within afew months, however, the strategicrelationship between Russia andIndia was fundamentally trans-formed. The German invasion of theSoviet Union in June 1941 and thelatter’s early military reverses raisedthe spectre of a German thrustthrough the Caucasus to capture theoilfields of Iran. Since the onset ofthe war, Shah Reza Pahlavi had keptIran resolutely neutral. Days after theinvasion of Russia, London, NewDelhi and Moscow discerned a com-mon interest in taking control of Iran.The commander-in-chief of India,

General A.P. Wavell, pointedlywrote: “It is essential we should joinhands with Russia through Iran and ifthe present [Iranian] Government isnot willing to facilitate this it must bemade to give way to one which will.”

Invasion of Iran

The Shah’s refusal to abandon hisneutrality, led to a joint invasion ofIran on August 25, 1941. Around1,00,000 troops of the Red Armyattacked Iran from the north, whilethe 8th and 10th Indian Divisionsstruck south from Iraq. Three dayslater, the Iranian forces surrenderedto Russian and Indian Army com-manders. The Shah was forced toabdicate in favour of his pliant son,Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. TheIndian Army occupied southern Iranfor the remainder of the war: the nowforgotten Persia and Iraq (PAI) Force.This episode also reminds us to avoidadopting too celebratory a stance onthe Indian role in the war. The jointoccupation provided a spark forIranian nationalism, with immenseconsequences for the country and theregion. Among those who denouncedthe occupation of the country and theacquiescence of the new Shah was ayoung Islamic scholar, RuhollahKhomeini: the future leader of theIranian revolution.

Glossed over, back home

Why have such episodes been air-brushed in our historical memory?Some commentators have recentlyclaimed that the Congress wished tohave no truck with India’s role in thewar and hence successive govern-ments refused to acknowledge thepart played by India. This seems toosimplistic and facile. Not only wasNehru himself aware of the import ofthe war for India, but his governmentpublished a 25-volume official histo-ry of India’s participation in the war— books that remain indispensable.More striking is the fact that thisproject involved collaborationbetween official historians in Indiaand Pakistan.

The war does not have purchase onour historical imagination for differ-ent reasons. In the first place, our his-torical profession has focussed main-ly on the development of anti-colo-nial nationalism or various forms ofsubaltern resistance against elites ofall stripes. The Indian Army hasproved an uncongenial subjectbecause it entails the study of subal-terns who collaborated with the Raj.This accounts for the misshapen his-toriography of the Second WorldWar, wherein a huge amount of inkhas been spilt on the small IndianNational Army, while the IndianArmy — which was a hundred timesas large — barely attracts attention.

Further, the political trajectory ofthe post-war subcontinent militatedagainst a shared memory of the war.With Partition and the onset of theIndia-Pakistan rivalry, both the newstates needed new stories for self-legitimation. Equally significant wasthe severing of Burma’s umbilicalties with India and the inward turn ofthat country for several decades.From late 1947, independent Indiawas no longer capable of projectingits power in West Asia and South-East Asia as earlier. The Cold Warfurther complicated India’s interna-tional position and drew it in a differ-ent direction from that envisaged byNehru in 1946.

If there is anything to be learntfrom the history of India’s SecondWorld War, it is that India’s ability tobe a pivotal power in Asia is contin-gent on the restoration of the strategicand economic unity of the subconti-nent: both to its west with Pakistanand Afghanistan and to its east withBangladesh and Burma. Seventyyears on, this remains a project worthpursuing.

It is a victory most Tories could neverhave dreamed of, and a defeat beyondthe nightmares of most of their oppo-

nents. The collapse of Labour in Scotland,and the stirring of English nationalism, EdMiliband’s personal ratings, the blamedirected at Labour for the economic crisis,the lack of a coherent Labour alternative,the Tories’ devastatingly effective mes-saging: all could be ignored, fingers incollective ears, because the polls consis-tently suggested David Cameron washeading for the exit.

The polls seemed to defy gravity, butafter the great 1992 polling calamity, itseemed impossible they could be so mon-strously wrong. And so, in the final weeksof the campaign, the doubts could be sup-pressed in the name of evicting the Tories,an outcome that seemed tantalisinglyclose. Well, no longer.

“Labour wasn’t Blairite enough” will bethe rallying cry of Labour’s right. ABlairite leader, according to this theory,would have prevented a collapse in sup-port to a Scottish party positioning itselfto Labour’s anti-austerity Left. It wouldhave stopped the Greens mopping up dis-illusioned Leftwing voters. And it wouldhave avoided the defection to Ukip ofworking-class supporters angry at theimmigration of the Blair-Brown era, forwhich Labour under Mr. Miliband hadapologised, adopting an anti-immigrationstance that appalled Blairites.

Mr. Miliband had taken on the tradeunion link in a way Tony Blair declaredhe wished he had, committing to cuttingpublic spending every year; he was thefirst Labour leader to do so, as he himselfboasted.

The rhetoric of moving on from NewLabour was there, but the supposedlyLeftwing policies amounted to increasingthe minimum wage in line with inflation,adopting Japan’s top rate of tax, stealingthe Tories’ coalition partner’s policy onthe mansion tax, a gimmicky temporaryenergy price freeze, and New York-style

controls of rents. The party’s economicnarrative was certainly calamitous. AsLabour engaged in a protracted, navel-gazing leadership contest in 2010, thestory that overspending had caused theeconomic crisis was spun into acceptedfact by the Tories and their media allies.

The Tories’ own backing of Labour’sspending plans until the end of 2008, orthe Tories’ advocacy of even fewer bankregulations: well, that was ironically leftto critics of New Labour to point out. A

global economic crisis was successfullypinned on Labour. When the Tory govern-ment’s cuts came, much of the electorateblamed them on Labour. With Labourheld responsible for wrecking publicfinances in the past, its economic credibil-ity always lagged behind the Tories, evenwhen austerity choked off a 2010 upturnand led to the worst economic recoverysince the 19th century.

In Scotland, Labour’s decision to form astrategic alliance with the Tories in thereferendum campaign was described tome by one senior Scottish Labour figure— now beyond vindicated — as a mistakeof “historic proportions”. It looked like a

political elite closing ranks in a campaignof fear.

It is difficult to emphasise how disgust-ed erstwhile Scottish Labour supporterswere with their former party: they felt thebitterness of ex-lovers and the zealotry ofthe convert, as I’ve put it before. The rot-tenness of Scottish Labour’s politicalstructures — including Labour MPs whohad never even knocked on constituents’doors — allowed the SNP to positionitself as filling progressive space aban-

doned by Labour. All this contributed tothe party’s collapse.

The blowback was even worse: the riseof the SNP allowed the Tories and theirmedia allies to stir up an already awaken-ing English nationalism.

For most of the last parliament, Labourwas a policy vacuum: it was filled withhighfalutin concepts such as “predistribu-tion” that went over the heads of anyonewho wasn’t a thinktank wonk.

While the Tories had clear messages —“clearing up Labour’s mess”, balancingthe books, reforming welfare, and so on

— Labour never built a coherent alterna-tive. Difficult political issues, it wasbelieved, could be addressed with a set-piece speech in the middle of the day thatonly a few political geeks bothered towatch, let alone process. Mr. Milibandwas often derided for his failures to com-municate, but here is the product of aLabour party leadership that has becomeever more professionalised and techno-cratic.

It is beyond delusional to believe that

narrowing the political gap with theTories will win back SNP, Green andUkip voters. Labour faces what happenedto its social democrat equivalents inGreece and Spain: there, they have beenchallenged by more radical elements.Here, it is the SNP, the rightwing pop-ulism of Ukip, and the Greens. There willbe a big debate now over the future of theLabour party, and what the Left does next.This country desperately needs a politicsof hope that answers people’s everydayproblems on living standards, job securi-ty, housing, public services and the futureof their children. That is needed morethan ever, no matter what happens withthe Labour leadership.

The new juvenile law

Can Labour climb back from this debacle?

PM Modi..."Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Yojana" (life

insurance) and "Atal Pension Yojana" here.The schemes were launched in Kolkata, cap-ital of West Bengal where AssemblyElections are due next year.

While launching three ambitious socialsecurity schemes targeted at the poor andunorganised sector workers on the occasionof Rabindranath Tagore's 154th birthanniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modisaid the initiative was a reflection of thebard's call for empowering the poor.

The event at the sprawling Nazrul Manchabegan with Modi garlanding Tagore's bust,followed by Governor K.N. Tripathi, ChiefMinister Mamata Banerjee and union minis-ter Babul Supriyo offering floral tributes.

Supriyo, a noted singer, rendered Tagore'sfamous song "Prano bhoriye trisha horiye".

During his around 40-mintue speech, Modirepeatedly refered to the Nobel laureate.

"Tagore in his poem 'Atmadan' in 1906 hasobserved that the poor don't need support,they need to be empowered. His words arerelevant even today. Today our resolve is tocarry out that order of Gurudev," said Modi,reciting the English translation of the famouspoem.

Elaborating on the benefits of the scheme,he said his government was committedtowards providing power to the poorenabling them to fight out poverty.

Hailing Bengal as land blessed by the god-dess of knowledge Sarswati and of wealthLakshmi, Modi exuded confidence of the ini-tiative becoming a success.

"I have a faith that whatever sprouts fromthe land of Bengal goes bigger and flourish-es. Anything that starts on Gurudev's birthanniversary, and articulates his thoughts, Iam confident his blessings will make theschemes a success and the country's poorpeople will get empowered," he said.

Born on this day, Vaisakha 25, according tothe Bengali calendar (May 7, 1861 as per theEnglish calendar), Tagore in 1913 becamethe first Asian Nobel laureate and the firstnon-European to win the prize for literature.

He also holds the distinction of havingauthored the national anthems of two sover-eign nations - India and Bangladesh. Thebard's rich, diverse and vast literary oeuvre isvirtually unmatched in the world. He wasalso a painter and a composer par excellence.

The Jan Suraksha Yojana, under which theschemes were launched countrywide, targetthe poor and unorganised sector who are nei-ther covered by any form of insurance nor getpension.

Under the accident insurance scheme, aperson will be provided cover of Rs 200,000for an annual premium of Rs 12. The cover isfor accidental death or permanent total dis-ability.

The life insurance scheme will offer arenewable one year life cover of Rs 200,000to all savings bank account holders in the agegroup of 18 to 50 years, covering death dueto any reason, for a premium of Rs 330 perannum per subscriber.

The pension scheme focuses on the unor-ganised sector and provides subscribers afixed minimum pension of Rs 1,000, Rs2,000, Rs 3,000, Rs 4,000 or Rs 5,000 permonth starting at the age of 60 years, depend-ing on the contribution option exercised onentering at an age between 18 and 40 years.

PM Modi is also scheduled to visit theDakhshineswar Kali temple andRamakrishna Mission's global ehadquartersBelur Math tomorrow, before rounding uphis trip by inaugurating the Rs 18,000 croremodernised Indian Iron & Steel Company(IISCO) at Burnpur in Burdwan district.

Later, Banerjee went to Raj Bhavan andattended a formal one-on-meeting withPrime Minister.

Shortly after the meet was over, PM Modiwrote on Twitter: "Had a good meeting."

While Mamata Banerjee has already clari-fied she is meeting Modi to perform only her“constitutional duty” and to make the “feder-al structure of India stronger”, many arguedetails of Modi-Mamata itinerary indicatesmuch more than a courtsey call.

(ii) Common Publicity Expenditure will beborne by the Government.

PM Modi...the country neither have insurance cover

nor any possibility of pension.While the three schemes will come into

force from June 1, the Prime Minister saidthat in the first seven days of the trail-run,banks have enrolled 5.05 crore people,including 42 lakh from West Bengal.

The schemes -- Pradhan Mantri JeevanJyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), PradhanMantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) andAtal Pension Yojana (APY) -- were simulta-neously launched at 115 locations throughoutthe country.

'Violence Has ...projects worth Rs.24,000 crore were signed

"in just one hour"."For a state a project worth Rs. 5000cr is

quite something. But here for one districtprojects worth Rs. 24,000 crore has beenapproved," he said.

The way ahead for the mineral rich state,he said, lies in manufacturing. The idea hasalways been, "send iron out and get steelfrom outside," he said. "Now this has to stop.We will make steel from the iron ore."

The two projects he inaugurated onSaturday included a Memorandum ofUnderstanding for setting up an ultra-megasteel plant at Dilmili village in Dantewada,with a capacity of 3 million tonne every year.The plant will bring direct investment ofmore than Rs. 18,000 crore and employ over10,000 people in the region, directly andindirectly.

The other project was the second phase ofa railway-link between Rowghat andJagdalpur, bringing more connectivity to thearea.

"I can imagine what this will do for thedevelopment of Bastar," he said.

The Congress had alleged that the real rea-son for the PM's visit is to give corporatesaccess to the minerals-rich Bastar region, andnot to inquire about the welfare of its people.

Russia displays...a unipolar world."The term "unipolar" is often used by Russia

to criticise the United States' purported aimto dominate world affairs.

"We can see how the force bloc-basedthinking has been gaining power. That all isundermining the stable international devel-opment," Putin said.

"Our common task should be offeringequal-security system for all countries, whichis adequate to modern threats, and which isbased on regional, global, bloc-free basis," hesaid.

Putin, however, thanked Britain, Franceand the US for their contribution in defeatingNazi Germany in World War II, whichclaimed an estimated 27 million Russian sol-diers and civilians.

"We are grateful to the people of GreatBritain, France and the United States for theircontribution to victory," he said while under-lining the importance of global cooperation.

At the parade, military units from acrossRussia -- some dressed in WW2-era uniforms-- marched, and more than 100 aircraft flewover Red Square.

Also on show was the new, hi-tech Armatabattle tank, which has a remote-controlledgun turret and reinforced capsule for thecrew, as well as the RS-24 Yars interconti-nental ballistic missiles -- each capable ofdelivering three nuclear warheads.

In all, about 200 pieces of military hard-ware took part in the parade, which conclud-ed with a fly-past by military aircraft. Onegroup of warplanes flew in a tight formationdepicting the number "70."

Indian Army...observed that the overall holding had been

continuously depleting over the years andwas more prominent in high calibre ammuni-tion, adding the percentage of high calibreammunition, which was critical, ranged up to84 per cent during the five years period ofaudit.

"To tide over the persistent acute shortages,the AHQ had set (1999) a minimum thresh-old of MARL (Minimum Acceptable RiskLevel) 20 (I) days to be achieved first. Wefound that even after 15 years, the thresholdof MARL could not be achieved. The acuteshortage was a serious cause of concerndirectly impairing the operational readinessof the Army," It said.

According to CAG , the inability of OFB tomeet the demand of Army was a major causefor shortage of ammunition.

"OFB, which had a limited productioncapacity vis-a-vis the requirement of Army,accepted the targets for supply of ammuni-tion covered under the Roll on Indent inmutual consultation with AHQ. It however,failed to supply the accepted quantities, andthere was shortfall in 54 to 73 per cent typesof ammunition.

36 killed...the death toll at 36, including the six police

officers and 30 prisoners.The town of Khalis is located about 80

kilometers north of Baghdad.Jailbreaks are common in Iraq and usually

a result of assaults from militants seeking tofree their comrades in prison. The most stun-ning one was in mid-2013, when militantscarried out a carefully orchestrated attackwith mortar shells and suicide bombers onIraq's infamous Abu Ghraib prison, freeingmore than 500 inmates.

Ibrahim said, however, that there was noexternal attack that sparked the Khalis riot.

Meanwhile today, a car bomb exploded inBaghdad's central Karrada area, killing atleast eight civilians and wounding 28, apolice officer said.

Among the dead were Shiite pilgrimspreparing for next week's major event com-memorating the anniversary of the 8th centu-ry death of a revered religious figure, ImamMousa al-Kazim. Thousands of pilgrims typ-ically march to his shrine in northernBaghdad to commemorate his death.

No group immediately claimed responsi-bility for the bombing, but it bore the hall-marks of the Islamic State extremist group,which has carried near-daily attacks alongwith other Sunni militant groups against theIraq's Shiite majority, government officialsand security forces.

The Islamic State group considers Shiitesheretics. It captured large chunks of territoryin western and northern Iraq last year, plung-ing the country into its worst crisis since UStroops left at the end of 2011.

RS panel...According health ministry data, India is

estimated to have 2.39 million people livingwith HIV/AIDS, the third highest numberafter South Africa and Nigeria.

The bill seeks to prevent and control thespread of HIV/AIDS, prohibits discrimina-tion against persons with HIV/AIDS, pro-vides for informed consent and confidential-ity with regard to their treatment, places obli-gations on establishments to safeguard theirrights, and creates mechanisms for redressingtheir complaints.

The panel, in its report said there shall beno discrimination with HIV positive peoplewhile providing insurance cover.

"The committee is of the opinion that allHIV positive people should be providedinsurance cover without any discriminationpreferably at normal rate of premium or theymay be charged slightly higher rate of premi-um but in no case exorbitant rate of premiumshould be charged from HIV positive peoplefor providing insurance cover for both lifeand health insurance," said a report of aselect committee of Rajya Sabha, tabled inthe house recently.

Liberia declared...launched. The deadly disease has claimed

over 11,000 lives in the region, and remainsactive in Guinea and Sierra Leone.

WHO will regard a country Ebola-free, ifthere is no new case of the deadly disease in42-day period, that is twice the number ofmaximum incubation period.

Liberia has seen the most deaths because ofEbola out of all the African countries.

Ebola care centres and hand washing sta-tion have been set up with international helpto try to halt the disease, which is spreadingthrough contact with the sick people.

“We can’t take our foot off the gas until allthree countries record 42 days with nocases,” Mariateresa Cacciapuoti, MSF’s headof mission in Liberia, said in a statement.

She urged Liberia to step up cross-bordersurveillance to prevent Ebola slipping backinto the country.

The UN Special Envoy on Ebola, DavidNabarro, said this week that Liberian author-ities had pledged to maintain heightened sur-veillance for at least a year after beingdeclared Ebola-free on Saturday.

She suggested that, even though fewer than20 new cases were reported in Guinea andSierra Leone last week, it could take monthsto get to zero.

International aid organisations were forcedto step in as the Ebola outbreak ravaged theregion`s poorly equipped and understaffedhealthcare systems.

MSF, which was highly critical of the slowresponse by the United Nations and westerngovernments, opened the world’s largestEbola management centre in Monrovia, witha capacity of 400 beds.

According to the WHO, a total of 868health workers have caught the virus inGuinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone since thestart of the outbreak, of whom 507 died.

International Medical Corps (IMC), a char-ity that ran two Ebola clinics in Liberia,appealed for international support in rebuild-ing the healthcare system there in the wake ofthe virus.

"Now is the time to build on the momen-tum we have generated to strengthen theLiberian health system,” Anouk Boschma,IMC`s acting country director in Liberia, saidin a statement.

CAG report on ...and will always remain safe.

Senior Congress leader PC Chacko, mean-while, said he was sure that the governmentwould seriously take a note of it and appro-priate authorities will try to correct it.

Minister of State for External AffairsGeneral (retired) VK Singh, meanwhile,refused to make a comment on the report.The Comptroller and Auditor General(Shashi Kant Sharma) had himself served asdefence secretary, he would know better,added Singh.

The CAG had on Friday said that acuteshortage of ammunition was a serious causeof concern directly impairing the operationalreadiness of the force.

"While availability of authorised stockagainst War Wastage Reserve (WWR) tomeet the expected duration of operationformed the basic criteria for ensuring theoperational readiness of the Army, we foundduring the review that against the WWR of40 (I) days, the availability of ammunitionwas only in 10 percent of the total types ofammunition held (March 2013).”

"Further, in 50 percent of the total types ofammunition, the holding was 'critical' i.e.,less than 10 (I) days," the Comptroller &Auditor General of India said in its reporttabled in Parliament on Friday.

The CAG said it observed that the overallholding had been continuously depletingover the years and was more prominent inhigh calibre ammunition, adding the percent-age of high calibre ammunition, which wascritical, ranged up to 84 per cent during thefive years period of audit.

Politically influential....Ramdev said he had immense respect for

recipients of the Padma awards. "Everyoneknows that all awards from Padma Bhushanto Padma Shri are given to good people," hesaid, and in the same vein added, "But toget these awards there is huge amount oflobbying and politically influential peopleare successful in getting them (awards)."

Earlier this year, Ramdev and spiritualleader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had declined anyPadma award for them after reportedly beingconsidered by the government for the honour.

Ramdev had written to Home MinisterRajnath Singh and referred to media reportsthat the government was considering hisname for Padma Vibushan (the second high-est civilian award), but felt that as an “asce-tic” he should refrain from accepting“rewards or honours.”

Ramdev had requested the Home Ministerinstead to select some other deserving personfor the award.

“I should be allowed to serve selflessly andthe award should be given to some otherdeserving person,” Ramdev was quoted tohave said in his letter to the Home Minister.

Thai police...Saturday.Spurred by Thai junta chief Prayut Chan-

O-Cha`s calls to end the grim trade within 10days, police have launched an operationagainst smugglers in Songkhla, a provinceneighbouring Malaysia criss-crossed by traf-ficking trails.

Observers say the belated move againstgangs long known to have operated with thehelp of corrupt officials has put smugglers onthe backfoot.

As a result scores of desperate Bangladeshiand Myanmar Rohingyas have been aban-doned as their gangmasters go underground.

"So far there have been 199 victims foundin Songkhla province alone", regional policeofficial Major General Puthichart Ekachanttold AFP on Saturday.

Of the migrants discovered 74 wereRohingyas from Myanmar and 58 wereBangladeshis while the background of 67more was yet to be determined, he added.

Authorities have been at pains to showThailand is serious about tackling people-smuggling after years of accusations thatthey turn a blind eye to -- and are even com-plicit in -- the trade. sFour secret junglecamps have now been found in Songkhlasince last weekend, alongside 33 bodies invarious states of decay, Puthichart said, withmany pulled from shallow graves.

Tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslimshave braved the dangerous sea crossing tosouthern Thailand from Myanmar in recentyears, with many headed for Malaysia andbeyond.

Many die at sea. But of those that make it,large numbers end up in remote camps acrosssouthern Thailand where investigatorsbelieve traffickers demand up to $3,000 fromrelatives and friends for their release.

Others are sold on to Malaysia, accordingto activists working to expose the trade.

The exodus of Rohingya -- described bythe UN as one of the world`s most persecut-ed minorities -- has followed deadly commu-nal unrest which broke out in westernMyanmar`s Rakhine state in 2012.

Rohingya living in Bangladesh, as well asBangladeshis, have also been trafficked toThailand, after being duped with fake joboffers or even drugged.

Last year the US relegated the kingdom tothe bottom of its list of countries failing totackle modern-day slavery.

The next State Department report onhuman trafficking is expected imminentlyand Thailand has lobbied Washington against

its inclusion in the lowest tier.National police spokesman Prawut

Thavornsiri told AFP 36 arrest warrants havebeen issued during the latest crackdown.

Puttichart said 11 arrests had been made sofar.

More than 50 police officers, includingsenior officials, have also been transferredfrom their posts for complicity or failing toact on the trade.

Residential building ...the spot to douse the flames. One person

has been reportedly killed in the fire andaround six firefighters tending to the firehave been injured including fire departmentchief .

The building was under renovation when itcollapsed partially. Several people are fearedtrapped in the building.

BJP MLA Raj Purohit said that there weretwo families residing in the building, one wasout for holidays and the other family is safe.

"The family has been shifted to other housefrom the side of government," Purohit said,while informing that two fire officers areseriously injured and one officer is stilltrapped inside the building, there is no newsof him till now.

A resident of the same area told reportersthat the second floor of the building wasfilled with chemical which was intensifyingthe fire.

Another test...version was test launched from a Mobile

Autonomous Launcher (MAL) for its full-range of 290-km at 1330 hours," defencesources said.

Today's test, the 48th test firing of the mis-sile, met all flight parameters, includinghigh-level manoeuvres.

The supersonic cruise missile hit the desig-nated land- based target with the desiredaccuracy. A similar test yesterday, too, wasconcluded sucessfully.

The BrahMos missile has been jointlydeveloped by India and Russia.

The multi-mission missile, having a rangeof 290-km and a Mach 2.8 speed, is capableof being launched from land, sea, sub-sea andair against sea and land targets.

The air version of the BrahMos is beingreadied for flight trials soon on Indian AirForce's Su-30 MKI strike fighter.

Liberia declared ...signalled that Widodo, who took office last

year, is easing the tight grip that Jakarta haslong kept on the mineral-rich province,where poorly armed fighters have for yearsfought a low-level insurgency against thecentral government.

Widodo has taken a keen interest in Papua,pledging to improve livelihoods in the heav-ily-militarised area which lags behind otherparts of Indonesia in terms of development.

He revealed in an interview with a group ofreporters in Abepura, Papua, that fromSunday foreign journalists would be allowedfull access.

"Tomorrow I will declare it," he said.Indonesia has long been deeply sensitive

about foreign journalists covering Papua,with applications for permission required tobe submitted to numerous government agen-cies, which rarely grant it.

Punishments for foreigners caught illegallyreporting can be harsh -- two French journal-ists were given short jail terms last year fortrying to make a documentary on the sepa-ratist movement without authorisation. Thedisclosure came shortly after five politicalprisoners -- convicted over a 2003 raid on anIndonesian military weapons arsenal -- weregranted clemency by Widodo. They will soonwalk free from Abepura prison.

Dozens of Papuan separatists are in jail forcommitting treason for acts such as raisingthe pro-independence "Morning Star" flagand taking part in anti-government protests.

Widodo shook hands with the five ethnicMelanesian prisoners at the prison, present-ing each with a letter confirming the remain-der of their sentences was being waived.

Prisoners have to request clemency andadmit guilt before it is granted, but this is nota requirement for an amnesty.

There are still regular flare-ups of violencein Papua, where insurgents are fighting onbehalf of the mostly ethnic Melanesian pop-ulation. Indonesian troops are regularlyaccused of abusing Papuan villagers in thename of anti-rebel operations, but Jakartadenies allegations of systematic human rightsabuses. sJakarta took control of Papua, whichforms half of the island of New Guinea, in1963 from former colonial power theNetherlands.

At least...services told AFP.The plane crashed in a non-residential area

around a mile north of Seville airport, whichwas closed to traffic for about an hour.

Airport authority AENA said on Twitterthat the airport's firefighters were at the sceneof the crash, "beyond the airport's perimeter."

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said therehad been "eight to 10 people on board".

Speaking on Tenerife, one of the CanaryIslands, where he was attending a campaignmeeting, he sent his condolences to the vic-tims, Spanish news agencies reported.

After LG'sl a u n c hof its

flagship, theLG G4, lastm o n t h ,rumours andleaks for thelite or mini-variant the LGG4c (H525N)have alreadystarted surfac-ing on the Web.The smart-phone hasappeared on ane - c o m m e r c esite alongsideits tentativelaunch date andprice, apartfrom specifica-tions.

As expectedfrom a lite-vari-ant, the listedspecifications ofthe LG G4c ares i g n i f i c a n t l ylower-end than that of itsflagship version, the LGG4, as seen on the listingpage. The handset is cur-rently listed on anEuropean e-commerce

web-site (via

GSMArena) called 0815revealing the specificationsand the price, which isEUR 297.50 (roughly Rs.21,400).

As per the listing, the LG

G4cwill feature a 5-inch HDIPS display and be poweredby a 1.2GHz QualcommSnapdragon 410 SoCclubbed with 1GB of RAM.The smartphone equips8GB of inbuilt storage and

along with an option toexpand it via microSDcard.

The plastic built G4csports 8-megapixel rearcamera with LED flashand a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. 3G andNFC connectivity sup-port are tipped as well.An LG UX 4.0 skinbased on Android 5.0Lollipop is expected forthe mid-range handset,which features a similardesign to the LG G4.The firm is yet to con-firm the aforementionedrumours.

LG last monthlaunched the G4 smart-phone, the design onwhich features a 'SlimArc' that runs along itsentire body, highlightedby a display with a sub-tle curvature. LG claims

that Slim Arc offers 20 per-cent better durability than aflat smartphone in face-down drops, while alsooffering a better grip. Thecompany said it aims to sell12 million G4 handsetsglobally.

LG G4c Lite-Variant Listed OnlineWith Price, Specifications The Comptroller and Auditor

General has pulled up DoT'svigilance arm of for failing to

impose penalty to the tune of Rs4,300 crore on telecom operators forviolating mobile tower radiationrules. The government auditor alsoflayed the Department of Telecom(DoT) for failing to act againstmobile towers that violated radia-tion rules. It said that the primeobjectives of Telecom Enforcement,Resource and Monitoring (TERM)Cells of vigilance are curbing illegaland clandestine activities in thepremises of the telecom serviceproviders and prevent misuse oftelecom networks by the vestedinterests. "The performance (ofTERM Cells) in testing of BTS(mobile towers) regarding EMFradiation was found not up to themark and instances were foundwhere EMF radiations were foundabove the acceptable level," theCAG said in its report tabled inParliament Friday. In April 2010,DoT had issued instructions to alltelecom operators that TERM Cellwill test up to 10 percent of newmobile towers randomly at its dis-cretion. Additionally, the BTS sitesagainst which there are public com-plaints, shall also be tested byTERM Cell. "Audit scrutiny ofrecords regarding number of BTStested in respect of 27 TERM Cellstest checked in audit revealed thatout of total available 6,86,548 num-

bers of BTS sites as on 31 March2013, only 45,697 BTS sites weretested by TERM Cells during theperiod from November 2010 toMarch 2013," the CAG said.

According to mobile radiationrules, telecom companies arerequired to self certify their mobiletowers and there is a provision toimpose penalty of Rs. 5 lakh for fail-ure to comply with the norms.

All companies were asked to com-ply with radiation rules by May 8,2010 and all new mobile towersinstalled after this date wererequired to be self-certified.

The auditor found self-certificatesof 7,811 mobile towers installedbefore May 8, 2010 were not sub-mitted for which a penalty of Rs.390.55 crore should have beenimposed.

Further in case of towers installedafter May 8, 2010 self-certificateswere not been submitted in respectof 76,575 mobile towers for which apenalty of Rs. 3,828.75 crore shouldhave been imposed. "However, onlyin five TERM Cells demand noticeswere issued against 3,359 BTSs outof 76,575. Moreover none of TERMcells could recover penalty for latesubmission of self certificates tillOctober 2013 as required as thematter is pending before theTelecom Dispute SettlementAppellate Tribunal (TDSAT)," theCAG said. Further the TERM Cellsdid not impose penalty on 1,758towers amounting to about Rs. 87.9crore for not submitting fresh com-pliance certificates and Rs. 23.09crore on firms not complying withsignage norms on their towers.

KOLKATAAndre Russell smashed the

joint fastest fifty of the seasonas Kolkata Knight Riderspulled off a heart-stopping one-wicket win over Kings XIPunjab to jump to the top of theIPL table, here on Saturday.

Fortunes fluctuated like apendulum in the contest whichwent to the wire as PiyushChawla (18) struck a vital sixoff Anureet Singh to takedefending champions closer tothe target of 184 and eventuallythey prevailed with one ballleft.

KKR were gasping at 83 for 4at one stage and the requiredrunrate had shot past 12 with 98runs required from last eightovers. From there Russell andYusuf Pathan (29) put on 53runs from 25 balls for the fifthwicket to turn the matcharound.

Russell slammed five foursand four sixes in his 21-ball 51as he equalled HarbhajanSingh's fastest fifty (from 19balls) this season. Pathan pro-vided perfect support from theother end to the Jamaican whounleashed his fury in front of apacked home support to take

them near.There was never a clear win-

ner as wickets kept falling butKKR kept nearing the targetand eventually eight runs wererequired from the last over.

KKR lost two wickets in threeballs including that of Chawla,leaving Narine at the crease toscore one run from two balls.

The left-hander held hisnerve and played a flick shot,

did not connect and took thewinning run from the legbye toseal his side a thrilling win.

KKR thus ended their home-leg winning three matches onthe trot and jumped to the top

spot of the table with 15 pointsfrom 12 matches, while KXIPremained at the bottom (fourfrom 11), suffering seventhstraight loss.

Earlier, Gambhir had KKRthem a brisk start in the powerplay with 57/1 in the first sixovers but introduction of spinput on the brakes.

Left-arm spinner Patel gaveaway just two runs from hisfirst over, while offie Gurkeeratwas tidier with just one run totighten the proceedings.

As a result Manish Pandeytried to break free in the nextover but only to mistimeMaxwell and was caught byPatel. Gurkeerat gave the bigbreakthrough in Gambhir thenext over to derail KKR's runchase.

Earlier KKR were patheticwhile fielding as they droppedas many as five catches, lettingPunjab posted a challenging183 for 5.

On a day their trump cardspinner Sunil Narine was backto his best, claiming 4/19 after amonth-long controversy sur-rounding his bowling action.The mystery spinner looked tohave his guile back as the bats-

men looked tentative and gaveregular breakthroughs.

Glenn Maxwell led the showwith a 22-ball 43 (4x4, 3x6) asall the top five batsmen --Murali Vijay (28), MananVohra (39), Wriddhiman Saha(33) and David Miller (27) --contributed handsomely to theteam's cause.

The Aussie found his reversesweep scoops to perfection ashe batted with disdain againstspinners Chawla and BradHogg as no one other thanNarine looked impressive.

KXIP seized the momentumfrom KKR early on when thehome team skipper Gambhirgave Murali Vijay the first ofhis three reprieves on 1.Gambhir at extra cover reactedslowly as the ball went throughhis right hand in the very firstover in which Umesh Yadavconceded just two runs.

Vijay went for the kill in thesecond over of the Indianspeedster as he slammed threefours and one six for 18 runs toderail KKR early on.

Narine was brought in thefourth over and this time Hogglet one slip at square leg withVijay on 21 while Yadav gave

the Punjab opener a thirdreprieve on 24.

Severely let down by his but-ter-fingered fielders, Narinefinally gave the breakthroughwhen he caught Vijay off hisown bowling to complete a tidysecond spell (2-0-8-1).

Vohra was dropped twice --on 19 by wicketkeeper RobinUthappa and on 29 by YusufPathan -- to make it five on theday. Nothing going their wayon the field, KKR had to relyheavily on Narine as he wasbrought back in the 11th overand the wily spinner returnedthe faith by claiming Vohra inan identical caught-and-bowleddismissal.

Narine's effort was notenough as KXIP batsmenattacked the other bowlers andat one point when Maxwell andSaha were batting during their65-run third wicket partnershipit seemed KXIP would breachthe 200-mark.

Narine returned again tocomplete his quota in the 17thover and once again arrestedthe run-rate, this time with atwin blow in form of Maxwelland Saha but KXIP had by thenposted a challenging target.

RAIPURMoises Henriques' gritty

fifty and BhuvaneshwarKumar's crafty bowlinghelped SunRisersHyderabad stay in the huntfor the playoffs as theybeat Delhi Daredevils by 6runs in a hard-fought IPLcricket match, here onSaturday.

SRH jumped to thefourth spot with their sixthwin in 11 games, whileseventh-placed DD suf-fered their eight loss in 12matches to end their hopesof a final-four spot.

Electing to bat at theShaheed Veer NarayanInternational Stadium -DD's second home, SRHrode on an unbeaten 74from man-of-the-matchHenriques to post 163 forfour in 20 overs.

The David Warner-ledside then defended its tar-get after restricting DD to157 for four as KedarJadhav (63 not out) andSaurabh Tiwary (26 notout) stood disappointedwith a 91-run unbeatenstand.

Bhuvneshwar (1-20)struck early as the medi-um-pacer got Shreyas Iyer

caught and bowled for anaught in the third over ofthe innings.

Wicketkeeper-batsmanQuinton de Kock (50) thenstitched a 47-run partner-ship with skipper Jean-Paul Duminy (12) to givethe side some stability.

But in came leg-spinnerKarn Sharma (2-12), the

sixth bowler in nine overs,and got dangerman DeKock stumped on a deliv-ery that tossed and turnedto draw the South Africanout of his crease.

Off-spinner ParvezRasool (1-20) got YuvrajSingh (2) caught at long onin the very next over andKarn was the catcher.

The Meerut-born Karncontinued to make his pres-ence felt as he cleaned upDuminy in his very nextover as DD kept losingcontrol.

Jadhav, his 34-ball knocklaced with 8 fours and 2sixes, and Tiwary againraised hopes of a success-ful chase with a good-look-

ing fifth wicket stand butjust ran out of steam in theend.

Needing 22 of the finaltwo overs, Bhuvneshwarbowled a near-perfectpenultimate over to giveaway just 6 runs. IshantSharma then did the job ashe never allowed DD to get16 runs off the final 6deliveries even after theover started with a bound-ary.

Earlier in the SRHinnings Henriques man-aged to stick around with awobbly top-order to finallystitch a crucial 64-rununbeaten fifth wicket standwith Ravi Bopara (17 notout) and take the team to arespectable total.

Veteran DD pacer ZaheerKhan (1-33) drew firstblood after scalpingShikhar Dhawan (13) inthe fourth over.

The left-hander tried toflick an incoming deliveryfrom the left-arm pacer butmistimed the shot to lob aneasy catch to Albie Morkelat midwicket

Nathan Coulter-Nile (2-25) struck in the very nextover to send David Warner(17) back in the dug out,

just when the skipper waslooking dangerous.

Henriques and EoinMorgan (22) then stitcheda quiet 33-run partnershipbefore Jayant Yadav (1-19), who opened the attackfor DD, broke through inthe 11th over.

Morgan tried to loft out apitched up Yadav deliveryto long-off but Coulter-Nile took a good catch ashe got his hands under thedipping white ball.

Coulter-Nile continuedto make his presence on thefield as he broke throughanother partnership aftergetting Karn Sharma (16)back in the pavilion. It wasnow the turn of Yadav toreturn the favour as hepicked a neat catch afterSharma mistimed a shortball to the point region.

After that it an Henriquesshow, who helped the sideget 21 runs of the penulti-mate over post hittingAlbie (0-35) for two bigsixes. The final over,bowled by Zaheer, alsosaw a six from Henriquesas SRH managed 64 runsfrom the final 5 overs.

Duminy, Amit Mishraand Albie went wicketless.

Wimbledon championPetra Kvitova romped tothe Madrid Open title onSaturday with a crushing6-1, 6-2 victory overSvetlana Kuznetsova.

The Czech ended SerenaWilliams`s 27-match win-ning streak in the semi-finals and was far too goodfor Kuznetsova, wholooked heavy-legged afterspending more than 11hours on court to reach thefinal.

"I am very happy, I amreally glad that I could winhere for the second time inMadrid," said Kvitova.

"It is unbelievable forme to finish the week likethis. I know that Svetlanawasn`t feeling very well,so I wish her good luck."

The world number fouronly recently returned toaction after a six weekbreak after admitting tobeing physically and men-tally exhausted by the tra-vails of the tour.

And that break looks to

have done her the world ofgood as she was the farfresher player in sealingher 16th career title andsecond in Madrid.

Kuznetsova fended offthree break points to holdserve at 1-1, but wasblown away thereafter asKvitova reeled off fivestraight games to take thefirst set. The Russian tooka medical timeout at thechange of ends, but thatdidn`t disrupt Kvitova`srhythm as she moved 4-0up in the second.Kuznetsova showed greatdetermination to finallyget on the board in the sec-ond, but that only delayedthe inevitable as Kvitovarounded off victory in littleover an hour on court.
