Agency : NEW DELHITargeting the previous UPAgovernment, Prime MinisterNarendra Modi on Tuesdaysaid it had not formed SITon blackmoney becausethere was an attempt to“save somebody” andrejected suggestions that hisdispensation wasthreatening the oppositionon the issue. The primeminister also rejected theopposition charge that hisgovernment was pro-corporate or pro-rich as hecited a number of schemeslike Swacch BharatMission, Housing for all,toilets for governmentschools and Jandhan,questioning whether these

were meant for the benefitof the rich or poor. In hishour-long reply to theMotion of Thanks to thePresident’s address in RajyaSabha, he spoke about theissue of black money overwhich questions are beingasked from his governmentabout what has been donesince last nine months. “Ibelieve that the dream ofbringing black money wouldhave been possible by nowhad an SIT been formed in2011 when the SupremeCourt had asked for it. Thattime the SIT was not formedbecause there was anattempt to save somebody,”he said. Modi rejectedCongress leader Anand

Sharma’s charge that thegovernment was threateningthe opposition in the nameof revealing the names ofthose having black moneyaccounts. He said he doesnot hold such a mindset ofthreatening others as it hasnever worked in ademocracy and will never

work. He said the lawshould be allowed to takeits own course. Modirecalled how threats ofsending him to jail wereissued when he was chiefminister of Gujarat.“Nobody’s threats work.Threats have neitherworked in a democracy nor

they can. For 14 years inGujarat, I used to get letters,threats of sending me to jailevery day. I knew whatgames were being played,”he said. He said would notlike to say anything more onthis as he believed that this willcome out some day when thehistory is written. Hitting backat Congress, Modi remindedhow threats were used againstthe opposition during theperiod of emergency.“Everybody knows who hasthe character and language of

intimidation. Everybodyknows what excesses werecommitted during theemergency. What can be abigger threat than this,” he said,targeting the Congress. Heasked the opposition “not toput words in somebody’smouth, which have not beensaid.” Earlier, Sharma tookumbrage to Modi’s remarksin Lok Sabha on theblackmoney issue when hehad said that those havingblackmoney would not bespared and later it should not

be alleged that thegovernment was “vindictive”.Sharma viewed thesecomments as a threat and saidhis party was not afraid.Sharma had earlier takenumbrage of the PrimeMinister’s remarks in LokSabha on the blackmoneyissue. “You said in LokSabha that you will not spareanybody. Has anybodygiven an application (to bespared)? Do not issuethreats. Nobody is going tobe scared by such threats.

Editors' Picks QUOTEOF THE

DAY'Rape the girl, blame the girl'I have been trying to write on this topic for quite sometime now, but unfortunately, I was left shocked andspeechless every time I heard another frivolousjustification for rape cited by sex offenders. Mukesh Singh,the convict in the 2012 Delhi rape incident – in which adaughter of India had to suffer the consequences of beingborn a girl in a patriarchal, chauvinistic society – assertedit was Nirbhaya’s fault, that she was "indecent to beroaming around at nine o'clock at night." What can yousay to this twisted logic? What can you do to change it?No solution, no suggestions, no words ever seemedsufficient. Worse, true justice is unattainable, impossible.When I first entered the field of law, I had the usual quixoticnotions of the profession – how glamorous it would be;how virtuous, how just. I had imagined I would go aboutpleading justice, and it would fly towards me like wingedangels. I saw myself as a solitary force of order amidstchaos. It would be easy, I thought, or at least convenient.One of the first files that came my way was that of a rapeincident. The victim was a final year medical student atone of the most prestigious universities of the country.The culprit was her Khalu (maternal uncle). He hadtrespassed her house with the intention of theft, and wasdiscovered by the girl. She was raped, apparently tosilence her from speaking up, and it was filmed. The uncle,soon thereafter, absconded to one of the Southeast Asiancountries. By the time I put the file down, I was fightingback tears. I thought about what she must have envisagedfor her future, what she must have dreamt for her life; allthose years of hard work, all those moments of struggleshe must have gone through, and now, here she was, arape victim. In sub-continental societies, a rape victim isa victim twice. She is a perpetual victim. Once invadedby the soulless barbarian, and forever stigmatised to thesoulless society. We have been trying to get the culpritrepatriated through Interpol ever since. Years have passed;the poor girl has had to appear in courts over and overever since, but without any sign of the criminal.Psychologists hypothesise that rape is about power andnot lust. I feel that is an over-simplification of the truth. Iremember that sweltering day in June when, just havingfinished cross-examination and drenched in sweat, asenior colleague and I were walking down the longcorridors of the city district courts. An ASI hadapproached us, requesting for help with a statement that arape victim was to make in the court. She did not have alawyer. We quickly examined the file's contents and walkedinto the court. The perpetrator, the Mamu (maternal uncle)of the girl, was already standing there in shackles. Thestatement was made – a shocking story of betrayal andinhumanity. Then, the defendant spoke. He stated thatwhatever he would say would be the entire truth. Hetold the court he had fornicated with his niece only aftermarrying her. He alleged that the 16-year-old had askedhim to save her from the clutches of her parents, whowere getting her married against her will. In the convolutedlogic of his sick mind, the request for being saved fromthe parents meant forcefully marrying the girl and rapingher thereafter.

time of the incident.MrKhan's lawyer said theprosecution's applicationviolated the fundamentalright against exploitationenshrined in the Constitutionas it had asked the accusedto produce documentsincriminating him.

WC : I am not at all surprised withIndia's turnaround, says Shastri

Agency : PERTHIndia's stunning turnaroundof fortunes at the ICCWorld Cup 2015 may havesurprised many but not teamdirector Ravi Shastri, whosays the "script went onexpected lines" as he had fullfaith in the players' abilities.India entered thequadrennial extravaganzafollowing a winless tourDown Under and thedefending champions werefar from being calledfavourites to retain the title.However, Mahendra SinghDhoni's outfit proved theircredentials with twoconvincing wins againstarch-rivals Pakistan and astrong South African team.

WC 2015: Forget South Africa'sHashim Amla at your own peril

They have won all their threematches so far withemphatic margins and arenow almost certain to qualifyfor the quarter-finals as thetop team from Group-B. "Iam not at all surprised. Infact, why should I besurprised that the team hasstarted on a magnificentnote? I had complete beliefin the boys and theirabilities," Shastri said onTuesday. "It was a case ofperforming to their potentialand that's exactly what hashappened in the twomatches against Pakistanand South Africa. If you askme, the script went onexpected lines," the formerIndian captain said.

According to him, the breakafter a disastrous tri-seriescampaign, which came onthe back of 0-2 defeat in theTest rubber, did the trick forthe Men in Blue. "I think theteam was mentally drainedafter playing the tri-series.The boys needed torecharge their batteries andfreshen up for the WorldCup. The break fromcricket did them a world ofgood as they came all gunsblazing when it wasrequired. And franklyspeaking, I believe that thistri-series that we played wassheer waste of time andenergy." Besides batting andbowling, the Indian fieldershave caught the eye withtheir athleticism on the field,prompting Shastri to go tothe extent of calling them oneof fittest units in the world.He said this in relation to aquestion on the 1985victorious campaign in theBenson & Hedges WorldChampionship, where theformer all-rounder was atthe forefront.

Agency : PERTHCricket is a game of truth.Test players are generallynot suited to the white ball.Your Test batting averageshould be higher than yourODI one. The best SouthAfricans play for England.Graceful players are not thebest sloggers. Hashim Amlahas taken these false godsand smashed their littleporcelain heads all over thefloor. Today, 'The Hash'became the fastest everplayer to reach 20 ODIcenturies.It only took himjust a paltry 108 innings.That's a hundred every 5.5

times he bats. That's betterthan what AB de Villiers canmuster. It's faster than ViratKohli. The concord neverwent at this breakneckspeed. Amla doesn't initiallystrike you as an ODIbezerker.

He's the mildmannered Clark Kent ofcricket. Soft spoken. Avoidsthe media. Humbly religious.The anti South African. Nobravado. His rise to the Testcaptaincy raised a feweyebrows. Not because heisn't a leader of men. Andnot because he beat out DeVilliers for the role. But

because he put up his handin the first place. Proof thathe harbours ambition on agrander scale. Not that it isovertly obvious. Not thatwe ever doubted it wasthere. We just didn'tconsider it. Amla neverspeaks to us or shares hisinner workings. He ishidden. We forget abouthim. Hashim has an ODIbatting average better thanhis Test one. Interesting inits rareness. Remarkablegiven his red ball number is52.78. But the surprisesdon't end there. He hasscored only 1000 less ODIthan Test runs, despite facingalmost 7000 fewer balls. IfAmla is a Test great, whatdoes that make him in theODI sense? It is easy to getlost in the South Africanwizardry of Dale Steyn andDe Villiers. Both maypossibly end their careers asthe best ever in their craft.However, the quiet Durbannative is just as special,smoother and definitely theleast ODI looking of the trio.
