Modi lashes out at oppositionfor conduct in Parliament

AGENCYNEW DELHI, AUG 3

Prime Minister Narendra Modi onTuesday slammed oppositionmembers for tearing papers in Par-liament and making "derogatory"remarks on the way bills have beenpassed as he accused them of in-sulting the legislature and the Con-stitution with their conduct.

Briefing reporters on Modi'sspeech at the BJP parliamentaryparty meeting, Parliamentary Af-fairs Minister Pralhad Joshi saidthe prime minister expressed angerat the conduct of some oppositionmembers.

While a TMC member in Ra-jya Sabha had torn the statement ofIT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw onthe Pegasus issue, several opposi-tion members had torn papers inLok Sabha and threw it in the airand towards the Chair.

A tweet of TMC leader DerekO'Brien criticising the manner ofbills' passage in Parliament alsodrew Modi's ire, Joshi and anotherUnion minister V Muraleedharantold reporters, without naming theTMC member.

He had tweeted, "In the first 10days, Modi-Shah rushed throughand passed 12 Bills at an averagetime of UNDER SEVEN MIN-

UTES per Bill. Passing legislationor making papri chaat!"

Such comments are "derogato-ry" of parliamentary procedure andesteem of elected representatives,Muraleedharan said quoting Modi.

The conduct of the oppositionis an "insult" to Parliament and theConstitution, Joshi said, quotingthe prime minister. The oppositionhas stalled Parliament's proceed-ings demanding a discussion onthe Pegasus snooping row, an issuedismissed as inconsequential bythe government.

The Indian men's hockeyteam's dream of anOlympic gold after 41years remained unfulfilledas it lost 2-5 to worldchampions Belgium in thelast-four stage but the sideis still in the hunt for abronze in the TokyoGames here on Tuesday.

Alexander Hendrickx(19th, 49th, 53rd minutes),the tournament's highestgoal getter, scored a hat-trick while Loick Luypaert (2nd minute)and John-John Dohmen (60th) also struckto hand the reigning silver-medallists theirsecond successive entry into the final ofthe Olympics.

India's goals came from the sticks ofHarmanpreet Singh (7th) and MandeepSingh (8th).

India's last appearance in the final ofthe Olympics came way back in 1980Moscow Games, where they went on towin their last of the eight gold medals.

The Indians had only themselves toblame for Tuesday's disappointment asBelgium's all four goals came from penal-ty corners.

The Indian defence was put under re-

lentless pressure by the Belgians as theysecured as many as 14 penalty corners outof which they converted four. Belgium'sgame plan was clear from the onset as theytried to enter the Indian circle and earnpenalty corners with Hendrickx and Luy-paert in their ranks. The ploy worked toperfection as the Indian defence wilted un-der pressure to concede the set pieces. In-dia too earned five penalty corners in thematch but could make use of just one. TheIndians still have a chance to secure anelusive medal from the Olympics as theywill feature in the bronze medal match onThursday against the losing team from thesecond semifinal between Australia andGermany later in the day.

Masks encouraged in New York,but no city or state mandate

New York City MayorBill de Blasiostrongly urged even

vaccinated people to startwearing masks indoors.Governor Andrew Cuomosaid unvaccinated transitemployees in the metropoli-tan area would undergoweekly virus testing.

But both Democrats onMonday resisted calls to im-pose new mask or vaccina-tion requirements to countera rapidly climbing numberof new COVID-19 infec-tions. De Blasio explainedthat the city's overwhelmingstrategic thrust remains get-ting more people vaccinat-ed. Cuomo said he lacks thelegal authority to imposesuch local mandates on hisown.

The Legislature wouldhave to come back, they'dhave to pass a law to dothat. So I don't have any le-gal authority to mandate,Cuomo said of a mask man-date. The best I can do issay I strongly recommendthat they do that. The may-or, at a separate briefing af-terward, said city health of-ficials are following a strat-egy based on data and sci-ence. We thought the rightmix was to heavily focus onvaccination to continue toclimb the ladder, put moreand more vaccine require-ments in place, and to give avery clear message to allNew Yorkers strongly rec-ommending mask usage, re-gardless of vaccination sta-tus, he said. Infection rateshave been rising nation-wide. The federal Centers

for Disease Control and Pre-vention recently issuedguidelines recommendingthat even vaccinated peoplewear masks indoors in partsof the US where the deltavariant is fueling infectionsurges. Calls for a revivedmask mandate in New Yorkhave grown louder as localnumbers rise.

An average of morethan 2,400 people per dayhave tested positive forCOVID-19 daily acrossNew York state over thepast week, up from around300 new cases per day inlate June. More than twodozen of the state's 62 coun-ties met the CDC's recom-

mendation threshold formasking up indoors Mon-day. Our leaders are movingslowly while the delta vari-ant does anything but, thecity's public advocate, Ju-maane D. Williams, said ina prepared statement criti-cizing his two fellow De-mocrats. Waiting to see ifcases rise is equivalent toinviting them to do so. Weneed an indoor mask man-date now we needed it aweek ago before the CDCissued their directive. NewYork City already requiresface coverings in publicschools and public trans-portation. Cuomo on Mon-day announced that the vac-

cinate-or-be-tested policiesalready covering thousandsof municipal employeeswould be extended to Met-ropolitan Transportation Au-thority and Port Authorityemployees working in NewYork facilities beginningLabor Day.

The policy will covermore than 70,000 workers,most of whom are alreadyvaccinated. Transport Work-ers Union Local 100 Presi-dent Tony Utano said theywill continue to urge mem-bers to get the vaccine andwill work with the MTA tomake sure testing is widelyavailable. Though the gov-ernor said his executive

power was limited, he urgedprivate businesses like barsand restaurants to adopt apolicy of only admittingvaccinated people and saidthat more hospitals shouldrequire workers to get vac-cines. And he said if casenumbers continue to climb,mandatory vaccines shouldbe considered for nursinghome workers and teachers.Northwell Health, whichoperates hospitals aroundthe New York City area andemploys 76,000 people, saidMonday that workers whoare not fully vaccinated byAug. 16 will be required tobe tested weekly forCOVID-19.

As New York State'slargest private employer andhealth care provider, we be-lieve it is our obligation toset an example for the com-munity by getting our teammembers vaccinated," thecompany said in a preparedstatement.

The governor and may-or have each stressed vacci-nation as the key to fightingthe pandemic. De Blasio an-nounced last week that cityemployees would have toget coronavirus vaccines bymid-September or faceweekly COVID-19 testing.Cuomo later announced asimilar rule for state em-ployees.

We should give impor-tance to every human beingbecause every human beinghas the right to be different.No one is good or bad, onlyour thinking can be good orbad. We like the person whoshares our thoughts, our emo-tions, our passions, ourdreams, our heart and our lev-el but may be the person withthe most quality and experi-ence with whom our thoughtsdo not meet can be indifferent. We cannot change anyone'sbehavior, good or bad, but we

can improve. The same ritesare reflected in the personalityof the person who is broughtup in the same environment.We cannot impose our viewson him. It is the person's rightto agree or disagree with ourviews. We cannot take awaythe right to be different fromthat person. Every time welook at our background, dicta-torial governments have triedto suppress individual views.The great Gurus, saints, greatmen and patriots sufferedmany hardships due to non-unity of ideology but they didnot change their ideology.Even today there is an attempt

to suppress emotions, if theyare suppressed then achieve-ment, if not suppressed thenrebellion. We should appreci-ate God's creation and em-brace His uniqueness. It is ourmoral duty to give every hu-man being the right to live lifein their own way.

Follow the principle of'live and let live'. Make asmany friends as possible byfocusing on the good qualitiesof the people through yourpositive thinking. Let's takethe initiative in makingfriends. Every human beingis bound by certain limitations,let us accept the limitations ofthat person. Don't let uselessthings come to our mind, sokeep yourself busy in somework. Let us rise above petty,narrow, meaningless and infe-rior thoughts and broaden ourhorizons and enjoy life whilerespecting human differences.

Older adults are happier when spacematches personality: Study

The old saying,"Home is where theheart is," has some

new science to back it up.A new study has foundphotos of a person's livingspace can accurately pointat personality traits and themood of the people wholive there, especially as aperson gets older.

The findings of thestudy were published in thejournal 'The Gerontologist'.For the study, scientists atThe University of Texas atAustin studied 286 peopleover the age of 65. Theytook photographs of therooms where the subjectsspent the most time (typi-cally the living room) andfound that certain charac-teristics of a person's per-sonality were reflected incore elements of roomdecor. Applying the find-ings could help lead tohappier lives, including for

older adults with frailty orcognitive impairment thathas led them to be trans-ferred from their homes tolong-term care facilities."People who have a matchbetween personality andliving space report betterwell-being, and they feelbetter about their life andhave a better mood," saidKaren Fingerman, profes-sor of human developmentand family sciences at TheUniversity of Texas atAustin and director of the

Texas Aging and Longevi-ty Center. "Home is wherewe can express ourselves,"added Fingerman.

The researchersanalysed participants' per-sonalities and took photosof the room where eachperson spent the most time.As part of a first-of-its-kind study, independentexaminers looked at thephotos and rated character-istics of the room, such asbrightness, cleanliness andnewness.

It is of paramount impor-tance to ensure that digitalmedia platforms adhere to

ethics code for their sustain-able progress and also to re-tain their relevance andgrandeur in the landscape ofmass communications. Thecode of ethics is also an inte-gral part of their commitmentto disseminate informationholistically marked by an ut-most level of transparency. Inpursuance of professional ex-cellence, adherence to ethicsmust not be diluted. The digi-tal media or for that matterany mode of professionalcommunication has a greatrole to play in making thepeople aware not only of aphalanx of welfare schemesand affirmative measures ofthe government but also ineducating them about theirrole as stakeholders in build-ing a resilient and inclusiveIndia. As the digital media ex-

pands in multiple ways andforms, the need has becomenatural to ensure they adhereto a set of ethics so that theultimate objective of empow-ering people with wholesomefacts, not twisted at all, isachieved.

The Digital Media EthicsCode for over-the-top (OTT)platforms and digital newspublishers keeps the citizenat the heart of grievance re-dressal mechanism.

The Information Technolo-gy (Intermediary Guidelinesand Digital Media EthicsCode) Rules 2021 not onlyempower social media usersby institutionalizing redressalmechanisms and ensuringresolution of their grievancesbut also provide a level play-ing field for all digital mediaand OTT platforms. The Codeof Ethics and three-tier self-regulation for digital media isa welcome move amid grow-

ing concerns around lack oftransparency, accountabilityand rights of users related todigital media. After elaborateconsultations with the publicand stakeholders, the Infor-mation Technology (Interme-diary Guidelines and DigitalMedia Ethics Code) Rules2021 were framed in exerciseof powers under Section 87(2) of the Information Tech-nology Act, 2000 and in su-persession of the earlier In-formation Technology (Inter-mediary Guidelines) Rules2011. The Digital MediaEthics Code has various as-pects such as the Code ofEthics for the publishers;three-tier grievance redressalmechanism, and the provi-sions related to furnishingand disclosure of informationby the digital media publish-ers. The Union Ministry of In-formation and Broadcastinghas received feedback from a

number of publishers andseveral bodies and associa-tions of publishers have sentcommunication regarding theconstitution of self-regulatingbodies under the new rules.The rules and norms estab-lish a soft touch co-regulatoryarchitecture involving a Codeof Ethics and a three-tiergrievance redressal frame-work for publishers on digitalmedia.

It is worth stating that sev-eral digital news publishers,journalists, OTT platforms,and academia from the insti-tutes of mass communicationparticipated in the virtual in-teractive meeting. While final-izing these rules, the Min-istries of Electronics and In-formation Technology, andMinistry of Information andBroadcasting undertook elab-orate consultations amongthemselves to have a harmo-nious, soft-touch oversight

mechanism in relation to so-cial media platforms as wellas digital media and OTTplatforms, and so on.

The extensive spread ofmobile phones and Internethas enabled many social me-dia platforms to expand theirfootprints in India.

Common people are alsousing these platforms in avery significant way. Someportals which publish analysisabout social media platformsand which have not been dis-puted, have reported thatWhatsApp has 53 croreusers; YouTube users: 44.8crore; Facebook 41 crore; In-stagram 21 crore, and Twitter1.75 crore. These social plat-forms have enabled commonIndians to show their creativi-ty, ask questions, be informedand freely share their views,including criticism of the gov-ernment and its functionaries.The government acknowl-

edges and respects the rightof every Indian to criticize anddisagree as an essential ele-ment of democracy. India isthe world's largest open Inter-net society and the govern-ment has welcomed socialmedia companies to operatein India, do business and alsoearn profits. However, theywill have to be accountable tothe Constitution and laws ofIndia.

Similarly, the Digital Indiaprogramme is empoweringcommon Indians, but the gov-ernment and other stakehold-ers cannot be oblivious ofsome serious concerns andconsequences which havegrown manifold in recentyears with the proliferation ofdigital media. These con-cerns have been raised fromtime to time in various forumsincluding in the Parliamentand its committees, judicialorders and in civil society de-

liberations in different parts ofthe country.

Rampant abuse of socialmedia to share morphed im-ages of women and contentsrelated to revenge porn haveoften threatened the dignity ofwomen. Misuse of social me-dia for settling corporate rival-ries in blatantly unethicalmanner has become a majorconcern for businesses. In-stances of use of abusive lan-guage, defamatory and ob-scene contents and blatantdisrespect to religious senti-ments through platforms aregrowing.

The character assassina-tion of politicians, bureaucratsand other celebrities throughfake information and spuriousnarratives leave little scopefor complacency for the gov-ernment in ensuring trans-parency and accountabilityfor the promoters and pub-lishers on digital platforms.

The misuse of social mediaby criminals and anti-nationalelements has brought newchallenges for law enforce-ment agencies. These in-clude inducement for recruit-ment of terrorists, circulationof obscene content, spread ofdisharmony, financial frauds,incitement of violence, and soon.

Ergo, there was a need fora robust complaint mecha-nism where the ordinaryusers of social media andOTT platforms can registertheir complaints and get themredressed within a definedtimeline. The new rules are afine blend of liberal touch withgentle self-regulatory frame-work. It works on the existinglaws and statues of the coun-try which are applicable tocontent whether online or offline.

There is no ‘unequal pedestal’ before the law.The Supreme Court reasserted this principlewhile sitting on the Kerala government’s plea

for the withdrawal of criminal cases filed against sixmembers of the legislative assembly from the LeftDemocratic Front for turbulent conduct during a ses-sion in 2015. The LDF MLAs, then in Opposition,had damaged in a protest equipment and furniture tothe tune of Rs 2.20 lakh in the Kerala assembly. Butthe privileges and immunities that legislators enjoydo not give them a separate status under the law ofthe land. The Supreme Court, while dismissing theKerala government’s plea, reportedly said that theprivileges accorded to the members of the House ofCommons in the United Kingdom did not exemptthem from the law, but allowed them to dischargetheir duties freely. Similarly, the privileges and im-munities enjoyed by elected representatives in Indiawere intended to create conditions for them to dotheir job effectively, without fear or favour, not to re-move them from the purview of the law. TheSupreme Court’s ruling is a message to all electedrepresentatives who engage in violent protest in Par-liament and the assemblies. Legislators are constitu-tionally permitted to protest, as the court pointed outwith reference to the pertinent provisions. But thisfreedom of expression does not include smashing uppublic property.

The law violated in such cases is the Preventionof Damage to Public Property Act, 1984, by whichthe Supreme Court has traditionally laid great store.The court’s ruling underlined two ironies. The Ker-ala government itself had enacted a law against thedestruction of public property, it reportedly said. Be-sides, claiming exemption for a breach of criminallaw would betray the trust imposed in elected repre-sentatives as enactors of laws. This suggested thatlegislators’ conduct should be in tune with the lawsthey make for the people — again a message thatshould be noted. When will it be followed? The pleaitself indicated how law is sought to be politicizedby today’s leaders: the LDF is now in power in Ker-ala. Trying to extricate colleagues from criminal cas-es when in power is a tendency most political partiesshare; Yogi Adityanath’s efforts in this direction arespectacular. The Supreme Court ruling — and eluci-dation — must be welcomed in this context as well.

The Second Coming Turning and turning in thewidening gyre The falcon cannot hear thefalconer;Things fall apart; the cen-tre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosedupon the world,The blood-dimmed tide isloosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.Surely some revelation is at hand;Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those wordsout When a vast image out of Spiritus MundiTroubles my sight: somewhere in sands of thedesert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

handigarh - The challenges of the pandemic gave business leaders the opportunity to boost employee Ctrust, and as a result, the resilience of their

organizations has risen according to the latest analysis of the BSI Organizational Resilience Index report. The long-running report from BSI, the business improvement and standards organization, surveyed 500 senior leaders across the globe. The 2021 Index saw the perceived performance of leadership teams improve around the globe, with effective leaders seen to demonstrate empathy toward their colleagues and focus less on rigorous alignment than pre-pandemic. In all, 33 percent of business leaders surveyed for the report felt their organization was fully resilient, up from the 28 per cent recorded in 2019. People factors such as culture, community and alignment all rose in performance over the course of the pandemic, according to the Index.

The report concludes that a focus on improving employee well-being is a key factor in rebuilding resilience post-pandemic, with 47 per cent of business leaders seeing this as vital, far higher than the proportion expecting gains from remote working at 39 per cent. The report warns that a shift to hybrid/remote working that isolates employees from their colleagues may even roll back the gains in leadership trust catalyzed by highly visible management decisions that were seen to be forward-looking and decisive by their workforces.
