Patiala October 3Punjab farmers continue toburn paddy residue despitedirections to the contrary Thedata of the last few daysshows a sixfold increase in thenumber of stubble-burningcases as compared to the cor-responding period last year
As compared to 25 farmfire cases recorded by thePunjab Pollution ControlBoard (PPCB) between Sep-tember 23 and October 1 in2018 nearly 159 incidentswere registered this year
Farmers in the state usual-ly burn the residue after har-vesting paddy in the autumnseason to clear their fields forsowing wheat Smoke fromPunjab travels up to Delhievery year leading to a spikein the pollution levels in theNCR region
With paddy procurementstarting from October 1 theair quality in Punjab is sureto take a hit It has alreadystarted deteriorating fromldquogoodrdquo to ldquosatisfactoryrdquo lev-el due to farm fires
The air quality index of thelast nine days shows that thepollution levels have gone upwith Amritsar registering 71RSPM (respirable suspend-ed particulate matter) Lud-hiana 72 Mandi Gobindgarh46 Patiala 45 Jalandhar 61
and Khanna 54While 0-50 microgram per
cubicmetre (microgmsup3) RSPM(respirable suspended par-ticulate matter) is consid-ered good 51-100 satisfacto-ry 101-200 moderate201-300 poor 301-400 verypoor and 401-500 severe
Kahan Singh Pannu Direc-tor Mission Tandarust saidthey had given 28000machines on subsidy last yearand released Rs 260 croreworth of subsidy for 26000new machines this yearldquoFarm fires have started early
since the crop was sown inadvance this yearrdquo he stated
Sources said the real prob-lem would arise after a fort-night when regular variety ofpaddy would be harvestedldquoThe current stubble-burn-ing incidents will not havemuch effect on Punjab orDelhirsquos air due to climateconditions but the situation
will change in the secondhalf of Octoberrdquo say experts
ldquoDue to heavy easterlywinds moving towards Pun-jab and Haryana all pollu-tants from fields will getpushed into Pakistan for thenext 10-15 days But towardsthe end of October wind pat-tern changes into north-westerly and air will flow
towards Delhirdquo they sayAir quality plummets
every year at the onset ofthe winter in NorthernIndia and stubble burningin the farm states of PunjabHaryana and western UttarPradesh is estimated toaccount for 20-30 per cent ofDelhirsquos fine particulate pol-lution or PM 25
Due to the short windowbetween the harvesting ofpaddy and the sowing ofwheat farmers clear theirfields by setting the leftoverpaddy straw afire

Patiala October 3Opposing the governmentorders to impound combineharvester machines operat-ing without the super strawmanagement system(SMS) farmers today saidthe move would put anadditional burden on them
Farmer outfits say the deci-sion would add to their costof operation resulting inmore financial distress Theywarn of an agitation if farm-ers are not compensated
The Agriculture Depart-ment has ordered impound-ing of combines which arefound to be functioningwithout the super SMS Theuse of super SMS with com-bine harvester helps man-age crop residue The superSMS attached to the rear ofa combine chops and uni-formly spreads loose strawon the field With thismethod the farmers are notrequired to burn the straw
Kahan Singh PannuDirector Agriculture saysthey are taking steps toensure that such combinesare confiscated but farmersshould rather cooperateldquoThis year we have given asubsidy of over Rs 260 croreagainst 26000 applications
Those who applied for SMSare given 50 per cent sub-sidyrdquo he said adding thatstubble-burning is a dan-gerous trend and it is hightime that farm unions coop-erate with the governmentto curb the practice
Satnam S Behru chief ofConsortium of IndianFarmers Association saidldquoWe are not against ban onstubble-burning but thefarmers should be compen-sated at the rate of Rs 4000-5000 per acrerdquo
The state had placedorders for 14026
machines including hap-py seeders and super-straw management sys-tem last year ldquoThere isample machinery for farm-ers to desist from burningstubble The subsidy onthe machine is 50 per cent ifpurchased by an individualand 80 per cent if bought bycooperatives farmergroups and custom hiringcentresrdquo says Pannu
The Centre had in Marchlast year approved a budgetof Rs 695 crore to be spentin two financial years (2018-20) on straw management

Patiala October 3The Punjab Government hasadopted the updated ModelWelfare Scheme for regis-tered construction workers inthe state But ignoring theguidelines of the Union Min-istry of Labour and Employ-ment it has not shunned theexisting schemes therebydiluting the sole purpose ofthe said scheme
The new welfare schemereads ldquoAt the outset it ismade clear that the socialsecurity benefits of the Mod-el Welfare Scheme as men-tioned below will hold prece-dence over all the existingbenefits and that only aftermeeting these priorityexpenses any balance of thefund may be utilised for giv-ing additional benefits underSection 22(H) of the Actrdquo
The Supreme Court onMarch 19 2018 had saidldquoThe state governments andUTAs have framed haphaz-ardly a large number ofschemes allegedly for the
benefit of the constructionworkers The multiplicity ofschemes brings to mind theadage too many cooks spoilthe brothrdquo
Subsequently theSupreme Court had askedthe Union Labour Ministryfor a composite ModelScheme for constructionworkers Following theorders on October 30 2018the Central Governmentdirected all state govern-ments to strictly comply withthe Model Welfare Scheme
Under this scheme there
are supposed to be only sevenwelfare schemes for the bene-fit of the construction work-ers However the state willnow be implementing thescheme without shunning the10 existing ones thereby giv-ing more scope of corruption
The said model scheme wasexpected to curb the misuseand poor implementation oftoo many welfare schemes
It is pertinent to mentionthat fake registrations andvarious anomalies weredetected under the existingschemes in the first-ever
audit of the State LabourWelfare Board
Seemingly the new welfarescheme adopted by the stategovernment is old wine innew bottle say experts
The new Model WelfareScheme espoused by the Cen-tre was aimed at giving mini-mum basic social security ben-efits to maximum constructionworkers However the state bynot implementing the modelscheme in its letter and spirithas already diluted the pur-pose of the scheme
Meanwhile VK JanjuaPrincipal Secretary LabourDepartment said ldquoOnly aftergoing through the SupremeCourt orders and Centralministryrsquos guidelines wehave adopted the schemeThe decision to continue theexisting schemes was a col-lective one We have provi-sions to carry the existingschemes under the Actrdquo
Janjua claimed that stepswere being taken to curb themisuse of the schemes andgive benefits to actual con-struction workers

POLITICAL SCIENTIST
SUBSTANTIAL parts of ourworld have been captured byright-wing populists and inter-estingly all such leaders have a
great deal in common One they con-temptuously dismiss institutions asembodiments of privilege a nuisanceat best and irrelevant at worst Twopopulists forge a national constituencyunmediated by institutions organisa-tions or the opposition Three theyrepresent themselves as targets of con-spiracies fashioned by an elite that hasbecome corrupt moribund and irrele-vant Four populist leaders refuse toplay by rules of the game Whether it isTrump or Modi they have no hesita-tion in uttering statements that theirpredecessors would deem improperThey are simply unpredictable
President Trump is the quintessen-tial populist leader he disdains politi-cal proprieties His presidency hasbeen ridden by controversy since dayone random dismissal of importantofficials wilful decisions and opendistribution of benefits to his ownfamily Ever since the Democrats tookover the House of Representatives inJanuary 2019 the Congress has beenpulverised The Republican-con-trolled Senate has blocked every pieceof progressive legislation passed bythe House It is not therefore surpris-ing that in September the Speaker ofthe House of Representatives NancyPelosi announced that an impeach-ment inquiry would be initiatedagainst the President He had report-edly requested his counterpart in theUkraine to lsquodig up dirtrsquo on Joe Bidena possible Democrat contender for the2020 presidential elections Does ask-ing a foreign power to intervene inelections warrant impeachment
Historians suggest that members of
the Constitutional Convention that metin Philadelphia in 1787 to draw up theAmerican constitution were unhappywith the authority vested in the Presi-dent In accordance with doctrines ofchecks and balances the Congress wasgiven the power to impeach the Presi-dent in cases of lsquotreason bribery or oth-er high crimes and misdemeanorsrsquoThis provision which was in keepingwith the spirit of British constitutionaland legal practice is not meant to pun-ish the incumbent of the White Housemerely to remove him from office Theprocess is cumbersome The House ofRepresentatives has to pass Articles ofImpeachment or a list of charges by amajority vote The case then goes to theSenate which is convened as a judici-ary to hear arguments from both sidesThe removal of the President requires atwo-thirds majority
It was feared as one of the foundersof the American constitution acceptedin a piece in Federalist No 65 thatimpeachment will ignite political pas-sions harness animosities partialitiesand influence and divide the countryThe process might prove more harm-ful than any decision on innocence orguilt Alexander Hamilton was pre-scient Impeachment proceedings
have been launched against two Pres-idents mdash Andrew Johnson in 1868 andBill Clinton in 1998 The former tookover the presidency after the assassi-nation of President Abraham Lincolnduring the civil war in 1868 He is con-sidered a racist because he openlysupported the cause of White South-erners and opposed the civil rights ofliberated Afro-Americans He wasimpeached on a technical issue thatof vetoing a law passed by the Con-gress In the Senate his impeachmentwas defeated by one vote
Impeachment proceedings were ini-tiated against Clinton following alle-gations that he had lied to the SpecialProsecutor about his sexual relation-ship with a White House intern Hewas under oath The move failedbecause it could not secure a two-thirds majority in the Senate Clin-tonrsquos case is controversial expertsargue that a President cannot beimpeached for personal wrongdoingthat may not reflect on public affairs
The only President against whomimpeachment proceedings would havebeen successful is Richard Nixon Hehowever resigned within two years ofhis second term In July 1974 28 out of38 members of the House of Represen-
tatives judiciary committee voted toimpeach him Members of his own par-ty affirmed that they would voteagainst him On August 5 the prover-bial lsquosmoking gunrsquo established that hehad covered the break into the head-quarters of the Democratic Party atWatergate by his campaign committeeduring the 1972 presidential pollsNixon was aware that the Senate wouldvote for his dismissal He resigned Ifimpeachment had succeeded it wouldhave established the superiority of theCongress over the executive
Today Democrats have left no stoneunturned to impeach the President forserious abuse of power Trump tweetsconspiracy theories and appeals to hisconstituency He also threatens to findthe whistleblower These two extreme-ly irresponsible statements can possi-bly add to the list of offences chartedout in the Articles of Impeachment
Hamiltonrsquos foreboding thatimpeachment would divide popularopinion and split the country ratherthan successfully remove the Presi-dent from power has come true Everfaithful to their vocation survey agen-cies have rushed to the American peo-ple for their opinion the Presidentrsquosmen rush to television studios to pleadthat their boss is being victimised thePresident tweets that this is a conspir-acy and Democrats claim that a robustcase exists for impeaching Trump
Even if the House of Representa-tives votes for impeachment it isdebatable whether the move will passthe Senate which controlled by theRepublicans backs the President atleast to date More significantlyTrump has a significant base amongconservative voters and the ruralheartland On October 1 he tweeted anelectoral map dominated by his colourred mdash lsquoTry and impeach thisrsquo he chal-lenged Perceive the irony The pop-ulist leader scorns institutions andaddresses the lsquopeoplersquo Therefore hecan present himself as a casualty ofintrigues even though he is the mostpowerful man on earth Nothing workslike sentimental narratives of victim-hood Trump might emerge as a mar-tyr as a hostage of entrenched powernot quite smelling of roses but still

Stuck with plasticMass movement needed to reduce its use
THE government has finally woken up to the menace of single-useplastic though it has stopped short of announcing a blanket banSuch plastic commonly used for packaging and carrying goods
is disposable but its indiscriminate disposal has been wreaking havocon the environment Even as PM Narendra Modi is envisioning anIndia free of single-use plastic by 2022 the onus is on various stake-holders right from the industry to the consumer to decrease (andeventually stop) its consumption and popularise alternatives such aspaper and jute The prevailing economic slowdown and the prospectof more job losses have prevented the NDA government characteristi-cally not known for restraint and moderation from rushing into aknee-jerk decision As of now single-use plastic will not be allowedinside national monuments and within 100 metres of their boundary
The national focus on generating public awareness about the boon-turned-bane is a welcome move The imposition of bans and fines hasoften proved counter-productive due to lax enforcement and wide-spread non-cooperation Old habits die hard A behavioural change canhappen only if a mass movement sweeps the country It is imperativeto break the demand-and-supply cycle Himachal Pradesh has takenthe lead by deciding to buy-back non-recyclable plastic waste and sin-gle-use plastic at a minimum support price of Rs 75 per kg Such incen-tives can go a long way in curbing the availability of the eco-unfriendlymaterial Installing plastic disposal machines at railway stations andother public places is also a step in the right direction
Converting toxic waste into something productive is anotherchallenge Indian Oil Corporation plans to employ its refinery oper-ations to turn single-use plastic waste into specialised bitumen thatcan be utilised for the construction of roads and highways Moresuch out-of-the-box ideas are needed India can even draw inspira-tion from an unexpected quarter Rwanda According to a report ofthe UN Environment Programme the African country mdash once rav-aged by civil war and genocide mdash has become one of the cleanestcountries on the planet due to its proactive campaign against single-use plastic Where therersquos a will therersquos a plastic-free way
Congress a divided houseParty in disarray ahead of Haryana elections
NOTHING unites Congressmen more than the sight of electoralvictory while political wilderness brings to the fore bickeringin the rank and file The five years in opposition in Haryana
seem to have done the party little good with factionalism out in theopen Earlier it was state unit chief Ashok Tanwar who was in the fir-ing line after the party lost all 10 seats in the Lok Sabha elections Theroles have now been reversed with Tanwar training guns at former CMBhupinder Singh Hooda and state unit president Kumari Selja accus-ing them of selling the party ticket Tanwar took his fight to Delhiprotesting outside Sonia Gandhirsquos residence and asking to be relievedof all poll panels The rivalry spilled over after Selja was made thestate president and Hooda the chief of the election management com-mittee A video went viral allegedly to embarrass the party a daybefore Hooda is slated to file his nomination
Tanwar is known to be close to Rahul Gandhi and with the latter step-ping aside after the loss in the Lok Sabha elections his replacement wasonly a matter of time His fight for tickets for his loyalists is natural Butthe party apparently wishes to throw its weight behind the old guard tohave a go at the BJP in the Assembly elections
The Congress was known for strong regional satraps Like VirbhadraSingh in HP and Capt Amarinder Singh in Punjab the partyrsquos decisionprobably is dictated by the prospect of facing a resurgent BJP With Sel-ja in the saddle the Congress has tried to offset the possible loss of Dalitvotes by Tanwarrsquos replacement A lsquohuman bombrsquo cost Rajiv Gandhi hislife and Tanwar should be circumspect in using the term howeverinnocuous the context might be even as his grievance should be lookedinto His next course of action is awaited but the party itself should beseen as fighting the BJP and not amongst itself

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 4 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED
AT Chinarsquos National DayParade on October 1 the mili-tary might of the Peoplersquos Lib-eration Army (PLA) in full dis-
play was watched closely by the worldThe commander-in-chief of the PLA XiJinping inspected the parade which fea-tured 15000 troops 160 aircraft and 600pieces of equipment
What caught the attention of dis-cerning observers were the new mis-siles which are a part of the 2016-raised rocket force (PeoplersquosLiberation Army Rocket ForcePLARF) The Dongfeng DF-41 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)with a range of 15000 km travelling atseven km per second approximatespeed Mach 20 (Mach is the speed ofsound) and 500 meters accuracy theDongfeng DF-100 hypersonic cruisemissile and the Dongfeng DF-17medium range ballistic missile fittedwith Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)mdash DF-ZF mdash with a range of 2000 km
While western analysts focused onDF-41 ICBM which would play a crit-ical role in strategic counterbalancedeterrence and in winning war forIndia the DF-100 and DF-17 fittedwith HGV mdash DF-ZF mdash should be acause of concern Hypersonic mis-siles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this centurywhich would mdash between India andChina mdash replace nuclear deterrence
with non-nuclear deterrence reshapethe rules of conventional war-fight-ing and transform geopolitics Onlythree countries mdash the US Russia andChina mdash have made credible stridesin procuring harnessing and exploiting this technology
Hypersonic missiles are radically dif-ferent from ballistic and cruise missilesBallistic missiles boosted by powerfulrocket engines leave the atmosphere(the dividing altitude between atmos-phere and space is 100 km) to enterspace reach the apogee and then re-enter atmosphere to hit the designatedtarget These missiles follow a definedelliptical trajectory which helps theBallistic Missile Defence (BMD) sys-tem to intercept and neutralise theirwarhead before it causes damage TheUS since over four decades has invest-ed heavily in BMD systems Inspiredby it India too has invested in indige-nous BMD since 2000
Cruise missiles stay within theatmosphere fly at low altitude toevade ground-based radars and arepowered and guided throughout theflight in a defined near-flat trajectoryuntil its designated target Cruise mis-siles powered by air-breathing jetengines have sub-sonic speeds exceptIndiarsquos BrahMos missile which pow-ered by ramjet engine has a superson-ic speed of Mach 3 To defeat cruisemissiles there are technologies likethe Russian S-400 Air Defence MissileSystem (ADMS) amongst others
Hypersonic cruise missiles with twopeculiarities are a class apart Onethey have speed upwards of Mach 5 mdashtheir kinetic energy (derived frommotion) itself is enough to destroyhardened and underground facilities
Two they fly at low altitudes thoughhigher than cruise missiles and aredifficult to detect by terrestrial or
land-based radars because of theirability to change course rapidlyUnlike ballistic and cruise missileswhich follow a defined trajectoryhypersonic missiles are highlymanoeuvrable thereby giving very lit-tle reaction time to the opponent tojudge which target is being hit Thisdelayed detection makes timelyresponse extremely difficult
HGV are fitted on ballistic missilerocket engines like DF-17 DF-21 DF-26 and even DF-41 ICBM and boostedAfter a certain boost phase the HGVdetaches itself from the rocket andglides towards its target 2000 kmaway in a wayward rather than adefined low flight trajectory
Senior officials from Raytheon Com-pany of the US recently told thiswriter at an international air show thatmeeting the hypersonic cruise missilechallenge would require new sensorsfor early detection Since terrestrial
sensors alone would not work theneed would be to have a mix of space-based and terrestrial sensors Theentire hypersonic missile defencearchitecture they said would requirehuge investments patience technolo-gy and technical expertise
Given the new missilersquos characteris-tics the DF-100 and DF-17 with HGVin PLA inventory would be a powerfulasymmetric capability For instance itwould be a national humiliation if theHGV were to hit and destroy Indiarsquosaircraft carrier Since India mdash familiarwith PLArsquos nuclear weapons invento-ry mdash is unlikely to raise the stakesChinarsquos new deterrence as well as dis-ruptive war-fighting capability wouldreside in its useable non-nuclear HGVIndiarsquos nuclear weapons purportedlydelivered by its submarines Agniseries ballistic missiles and aircraftwould on the other hand be rendereduseless against China
Such a possibility deserves an urgentreview both of Indiarsquos nuclear deter-rence against China and the indigenousBMD which despite the infusion ofhuge funds has unfortunately notdemonstrated satisfactory results In2011 the then Defence Research andDevelopment Organisation (DRDO)chief VK Saraswat had spelt out thetimelines to this writer for the accom-plishment of the BMD programme Hehad said that by 2013 phase one of theproject which involved successful inter-ception of hostile missiles with 2000-kmrange would be achieved Phase two ofthe programme which required neutral-isation of 5000-km range ballistic mis-siles would be done by 2015 the sameyear when the ballistic missile shieldwould become available for impreg-nable defence of the capital city of Delhiand major metropolises The purchaseof five units or regiments of Russian S-400 ADMS in 2016 is evidence thatSaraswat was doing kite-flying
Even the military should take itsportion of the blame Many DRDO sci-entists have told me that the militaryleadership unable to find or under-stand operational employment ofhypersonic missiles has shown littleinterest in their presentations WithPLA having showcased these missilesthe Defence Minister ought to take thebull by the horns A way forward is toseek Russian cooperation through thesuccessful BrahMos supersonic cruisemissile programme Given that Brah-Mos is Indiarsquos most successfuldefence programme has consistentlymet its timelines has been acceptedby the three defence services and hasgenerated employment and wealth itcould be the ideal vehicle for thedevelopment of hypersonic cruisemissiles and strengthening bilateralrelations between India and Russia

THE world was taken by surpriseon September 14 when thelargest Saudi oil processingplant at Abqaiq was hit by a
lsquoswarmrsquo of around 25 drones and somecruise missiles launched by the Houthirebels in Yemen one of the poorestcountries in the world The attackscaused extensive damage to the plantknocking out 60 per cent of the Saudi oilproduction and triggering a 20 per centspike in oil prices And the worldrsquosattention was thus suddenly focused onYemen and the Houthis an Islamic Zai-di Shia political and armed movementwhich has been fighting a lsquoforgottenrsquowar against Saudi Arabia and the UAEfor more than four years
The Yemeni war began in March 2015when Saudi forces invaded the countryto intervene in what was essentially adomestic dispute between the Houthisand the government of PresidentAbdrabbuh Mansur Hadi The Saudisinvaded Yemen because they viewedthe Houthis as Iranian proxies both ofthem being Shia The Houthis defeatedthe forces loyal to Hadi and capturedSanarsquoa the countryrsquos capital in Sep-tember 2014 In January 2015 Hadiresigned and later fled to Saudi Arabiawhere he presently lives in exile
The Saudi decision to invade Yemenwas taken by Mohammad bin Salman(MbS) the present Crown Prince of Sau-di Arabia To attack Yemen the Saudismobilised a coalition that included theUAE Egypt Jordan Morocco SudanKuwait Qatar and Bahrain But essen-tially it was the Saudi and Emirati
forces that were involved in the inva-sion which was also supported by theUS and the UK They providedweapons logistical support and target-ing information to the Saudis
The Wahhabi Saudis wanted a gov-ernment in Yemen that was not con-trolled by the Zaidi Shia HouthisThey also wanted to control Yemenrsquosoil and a pipeline from their oilfieldsto a harbour in Yemen which wouldhave enabled them to avoid the Iran-dominated Strait of Hormuz
The Saudis and the Emiratis expecteda quick victory against the Houthis whowere a rag-tag bunch of fighters withoutan organised army or sophisticatedweapons However they were highlymotivated agile innovative and knew
the terrain well The Saudis and theEmiratis on the other hand were poorfighters accustomed to the comforts oflife They could not match the Houthison the ground and soon resorted toindiscriminate bombing from the airkilling thousands of civilians
According to reliable estimatesaround 2 lakh Yemenis have died in thefighting including 1 lakh childrenunder the age of five from famine and acholera epidemic On some occasionsinternational aid was prevented fromreaching the Yemeni people by blockad-ing of the ports by the Saudis and theirallies And notably the self-styled glob-al lsquocustodiansrsquo of human rights werecomplicit in this genocidal war For thisreason it became a lsquoforgottenrsquo war
receiving very little media coverage TheUnited Nations has called it the biggesthumanitarian crisis on the planet
However the situation began tochange in May 2019 when the Houthislaunched drone attacks against someSaudi oil facilities That was followedon August 17 by a multiple droneattack on Shaybah a massive Saudi oiland gas field which is around 1200 kmfrom Houthi-controlled territory inYemen The drone attacks demonstrat-ed the vulnerability of the Saudi oilinfrastructure to the attacks by theHouthis and the range of their dronesand missiles Neither the Saudis northe Americans currently have any mis-sile or air defence systems that canoffer protection against such attacks
It is clear that drones have been agame-changer in Yemen One experthas called them ldquothe most disruptivemilitary technology yet conceivedrdquoThey are cheap costing only a few mil-lion dollars compared to the Saudiarsenal costing hundreds of billions ofdollars The Houthis are now makingtheir own drones based on Iraniandesigns and technical advice They arealso probably importing drones andcruise missiles from Iran
The Saudis have suffered anotherreversal in Yemen Their major ally theUAE pulled out of the war a few monthsago when the port of Aden in the Southfell to the Southern Transitional Coun-cil a separatist group backed by theUAE This has infuriated the Saudis butthey have not been able to do much
The Saudis and the Americans have
blamed Iran for the September 14attack on Abqaiq instead of the Houthiswho have claimed responsibility for itIran has denied any role in the attackThe US is unlikely to attack Iran but ifit does it could set the whole regionon fire That could adversely affectalmost seven million people of Indianorigin who work in the Gulf and remitbillions of dollars to India
On September 20 the US announcedthat it was sending troops and more mis-sile defence systems such as Patriot andTHAAD (Terminal High Altitude AreaDefence ) to Saudi Arabia However theyare unlikely to be effective against low-flying drones which can only be stoppedby short-range Russian systems such asPantsyr-S1 and the BUK-2 which theRussians have used to defend their basein Syria against similar attacks
On September 28 the Houthis dealtanother blow to the Saudis by launch-ing a ground attack within Saudi terri-tory near Najran in which three Saudibrigades were defeated and hundredsof soldiers were either killed woundedor captured The operation demonstrat-ed that Saudi Arabia was vulnerable toair and ground attack by the Houthis
The asymmetrical warfare fought bythe Houthis appears to have broughtSaudi Arabia to its knees The WallStreet Journal reported on August 28that the Trump administration waspreparing to initiate negotiations withthe Houthis to end the war in Yemen Itremains to be seen when or if that hap-pens But one thing is clear The war inYemen is no longer lsquoforgottenrsquo
NIRAJ SRIVASTAVAFORMER AMBASSADOR
The Houthis an IslamicZaidi Shia political and
armed movement active inYemen have been fightinga war against Saudi Arabiaand the UAE for more thanfour years The Saudis and
the Americans have blamedIran for the Sept 14 attackon the Saudi oil processing
plant at Abqaiq eventhough the Houthis haveclaimed responsibility for
it Drones have been a tipping point in the
Yemeni war

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them
lsquoWe saved our land from catastrophersquo
TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

Patiala October 3Punjab farmers continue toburn paddy residue despitedirections to the contrary Thedata of the last few daysshows a sixfold increase in thenumber of stubble-burningcases as compared to the cor-responding period last year
As compared to 25 farmfire cases recorded by thePunjab Pollution ControlBoard (PPCB) between Sep-tember 23 and October 1 in2018 nearly 159 incidentswere registered this year
Farmers in the state usual-ly burn the residue after har-vesting paddy in the autumnseason to clear their fields forsowing wheat Smoke fromPunjab travels up to Delhievery year leading to a spikein the pollution levels in theNCR region
With paddy procurementstarting from October 1 theair quality in Punjab is sureto take a hit It has alreadystarted deteriorating fromldquogoodrdquo to ldquosatisfactoryrdquo lev-el due to farm fires
The air quality index of thelast nine days shows that thepollution levels have gone upwith Amritsar registering 71RSPM (respirable suspend-ed particulate matter) Lud-hiana 72 Mandi Gobindgarh46 Patiala 45 Jalandhar 61
and Khanna 54While 0-50 microgram per

Kahan Singh Pannu Direc-tor Mission Tandarust saidthey had given 28000machines on subsidy last yearand released Rs 260 croreworth of subsidy for 26000new machines this yearldquoFarm fires have started early
since the crop was sown inadvance this yearrdquo he stated
Sources said the real prob-lem would arise after a fort-night when regular variety ofpaddy would be harvestedldquoThe current stubble-burn-ing incidents will not havemuch effect on Punjab orDelhirsquos air due to climateconditions but the situation
will change in the secondhalf of Octoberrdquo say experts
ldquoDue to heavy easterlywinds moving towards Pun-jab and Haryana all pollu-tants from fields will getpushed into Pakistan for thenext 10-15 days But towardsthe end of October wind pat-tern changes into north-westerly and air will flow
towards Delhirdquo they sayAir quality plummets
every year at the onset ofthe winter in NorthernIndia and stubble burningin the farm states of PunjabHaryana and western UttarPradesh is estimated toaccount for 20-30 per cent ofDelhirsquos fine particulate pol-lution or PM 25

Farmer outfits say the deci-sion would add to their costof operation resulting inmore financial distress Theywarn of an agitation if farm-ers are not compensated
The Agriculture Depart-ment has ordered impound-ing of combines which arefound to be functioningwithout the super SMS Theuse of super SMS with com-bine harvester helps man-age crop residue The superSMS attached to the rear ofa combine chops and uni-formly spreads loose strawon the field With thismethod the farmers are notrequired to burn the straw
Kahan Singh PannuDirector Agriculture saysthey are taking steps toensure that such combinesare confiscated but farmersshould rather cooperateldquoThis year we have given asubsidy of over Rs 260 croreagainst 26000 applications
Those who applied for SMSare given 50 per cent sub-sidyrdquo he said adding thatstubble-burning is a dan-gerous trend and it is hightime that farm unions coop-erate with the governmentto curb the practice
Satnam S Behru chief ofConsortium of IndianFarmers Association saidldquoWe are not against ban onstubble-burning but thefarmers should be compen-sated at the rate of Rs 4000-5000 per acrerdquo
The state had placedorders for 14026
machines including hap-py seeders and super-straw management sys-tem last year ldquoThere isample machinery for farm-ers to desist from burningstubble The subsidy onthe machine is 50 per cent ifpurchased by an individualand 80 per cent if bought bycooperatives farmergroups and custom hiringcentresrdquo says Pannu

Patiala October 3The Punjab Government hasadopted the updated ModelWelfare Scheme for regis-tered construction workers inthe state But ignoring theguidelines of the Union Min-istry of Labour and Employ-ment it has not shunned theexisting schemes therebydiluting the sole purpose ofthe said scheme
The new welfare schemereads ldquoAt the outset it ismade clear that the socialsecurity benefits of the Mod-el Welfare Scheme as men-tioned below will hold prece-dence over all the existingbenefits and that only aftermeeting these priorityexpenses any balance of thefund may be utilised for giv-ing additional benefits underSection 22(H) of the Actrdquo
The Supreme Court onMarch 19 2018 had saidldquoThe state governments andUTAs have framed haphaz-ardly a large number ofschemes allegedly for the
benefit of the constructionworkers The multiplicity ofschemes brings to mind theadage too many cooks spoilthe brothrdquo
Subsequently theSupreme Court had askedthe Union Labour Ministryfor a composite ModelScheme for constructionworkers Following theorders on October 30 2018the Central Governmentdirected all state govern-ments to strictly comply withthe Model Welfare Scheme
Under this scheme there
are supposed to be only sevenwelfare schemes for the bene-fit of the construction work-ers However the state willnow be implementing thescheme without shunning the10 existing ones thereby giv-ing more scope of corruption
The said model scheme wasexpected to curb the misuseand poor implementation oftoo many welfare schemes
It is pertinent to mentionthat fake registrations andvarious anomalies weredetected under the existingschemes in the first-ever
audit of the State LabourWelfare Board
Seemingly the new welfarescheme adopted by the stategovernment is old wine innew bottle say experts
The new Model WelfareScheme espoused by the Cen-tre was aimed at giving mini-mum basic social security ben-efits to maximum constructionworkers However the state bynot implementing the modelscheme in its letter and spirithas already diluted the pur-pose of the scheme
Meanwhile VK JanjuaPrincipal Secretary LabourDepartment said ldquoOnly aftergoing through the SupremeCourt orders and Centralministryrsquos guidelines wehave adopted the schemeThe decision to continue theexisting schemes was a col-lective one We have provi-sions to carry the existingschemes under the Actrdquo
Janjua claimed that stepswere being taken to curb themisuse of the schemes andgive benefits to actual con-struction workers

POLITICAL SCIENTIST
SUBSTANTIAL parts of ourworld have been captured byright-wing populists and inter-estingly all such leaders have a
great deal in common One they con-temptuously dismiss institutions asembodiments of privilege a nuisanceat best and irrelevant at worst Twopopulists forge a national constituencyunmediated by institutions organisa-tions or the opposition Three theyrepresent themselves as targets of con-spiracies fashioned by an elite that hasbecome corrupt moribund and irrele-vant Four populist leaders refuse toplay by rules of the game Whether it isTrump or Modi they have no hesita-tion in uttering statements that theirpredecessors would deem improperThey are simply unpredictable
President Trump is the quintessen-tial populist leader he disdains politi-cal proprieties His presidency hasbeen ridden by controversy since dayone random dismissal of importantofficials wilful decisions and opendistribution of benefits to his ownfamily Ever since the Democrats tookover the House of Representatives inJanuary 2019 the Congress has beenpulverised The Republican-con-trolled Senate has blocked every pieceof progressive legislation passed bythe House It is not therefore surpris-ing that in September the Speaker ofthe House of Representatives NancyPelosi announced that an impeach-ment inquiry would be initiatedagainst the President He had report-edly requested his counterpart in theUkraine to lsquodig up dirtrsquo on Joe Bidena possible Democrat contender for the2020 presidential elections Does ask-ing a foreign power to intervene inelections warrant impeachment
Historians suggest that members of
the Constitutional Convention that metin Philadelphia in 1787 to draw up theAmerican constitution were unhappywith the authority vested in the Presi-dent In accordance with doctrines ofchecks and balances the Congress wasgiven the power to impeach the Presi-dent in cases of lsquotreason bribery or oth-er high crimes and misdemeanorsrsquoThis provision which was in keepingwith the spirit of British constitutionaland legal practice is not meant to pun-ish the incumbent of the White Housemerely to remove him from office Theprocess is cumbersome The House ofRepresentatives has to pass Articles ofImpeachment or a list of charges by amajority vote The case then goes to theSenate which is convened as a judici-ary to hear arguments from both sidesThe removal of the President requires atwo-thirds majority
It was feared as one of the foundersof the American constitution acceptedin a piece in Federalist No 65 thatimpeachment will ignite political pas-sions harness animosities partialitiesand influence and divide the countryThe process might prove more harm-ful than any decision on innocence orguilt Alexander Hamilton was pre-scient Impeachment proceedings
have been launched against two Pres-idents mdash Andrew Johnson in 1868 andBill Clinton in 1998 The former tookover the presidency after the assassi-nation of President Abraham Lincolnduring the civil war in 1868 He is con-sidered a racist because he openlysupported the cause of White South-erners and opposed the civil rights ofliberated Afro-Americans He wasimpeached on a technical issue thatof vetoing a law passed by the Con-gress In the Senate his impeachmentwas defeated by one vote
Impeachment proceedings were ini-tiated against Clinton following alle-gations that he had lied to the SpecialProsecutor about his sexual relation-ship with a White House intern Hewas under oath The move failedbecause it could not secure a two-thirds majority in the Senate Clin-tonrsquos case is controversial expertsargue that a President cannot beimpeached for personal wrongdoingthat may not reflect on public affairs
The only President against whomimpeachment proceedings would havebeen successful is Richard Nixon Hehowever resigned within two years ofhis second term In July 1974 28 out of38 members of the House of Represen-
tatives judiciary committee voted toimpeach him Members of his own par-ty affirmed that they would voteagainst him On August 5 the prover-bial lsquosmoking gunrsquo established that hehad covered the break into the head-quarters of the Democratic Party atWatergate by his campaign committeeduring the 1972 presidential pollsNixon was aware that the Senate wouldvote for his dismissal He resigned Ifimpeachment had succeeded it wouldhave established the superiority of theCongress over the executive
Today Democrats have left no stoneunturned to impeach the President forserious abuse of power Trump tweetsconspiracy theories and appeals to hisconstituency He also threatens to findthe whistleblower These two extreme-ly irresponsible statements can possi-bly add to the list of offences chartedout in the Articles of Impeachment
Hamiltonrsquos foreboding thatimpeachment would divide popularopinion and split the country ratherthan successfully remove the Presi-dent from power has come true Everfaithful to their vocation survey agen-cies have rushed to the American peo-ple for their opinion the Presidentrsquosmen rush to television studios to pleadthat their boss is being victimised thePresident tweets that this is a conspir-acy and Democrats claim that a robustcase exists for impeaching Trump
Even if the House of Representa-tives votes for impeachment it isdebatable whether the move will passthe Senate which controlled by theRepublicans backs the President atleast to date More significantlyTrump has a significant base amongconservative voters and the ruralheartland On October 1 he tweeted anelectoral map dominated by his colourred mdash lsquoTry and impeach thisrsquo he chal-lenged Perceive the irony The pop-ulist leader scorns institutions andaddresses the lsquopeoplersquo Therefore hecan present himself as a casualty ofintrigues even though he is the mostpowerful man on earth Nothing workslike sentimental narratives of victim-hood Trump might emerge as a mar-tyr as a hostage of entrenched powernot quite smelling of roses but still

Stuck with plasticMass movement needed to reduce its use
THE government has finally woken up to the menace of single-useplastic though it has stopped short of announcing a blanket banSuch plastic commonly used for packaging and carrying goods
is disposable but its indiscriminate disposal has been wreaking havocon the environment Even as PM Narendra Modi is envisioning anIndia free of single-use plastic by 2022 the onus is on various stake-holders right from the industry to the consumer to decrease (andeventually stop) its consumption and popularise alternatives such aspaper and jute The prevailing economic slowdown and the prospectof more job losses have prevented the NDA government characteristi-cally not known for restraint and moderation from rushing into aknee-jerk decision As of now single-use plastic will not be allowedinside national monuments and within 100 metres of their boundary
The national focus on generating public awareness about the boon-turned-bane is a welcome move The imposition of bans and fines hasoften proved counter-productive due to lax enforcement and wide-spread non-cooperation Old habits die hard A behavioural change canhappen only if a mass movement sweeps the country It is imperativeto break the demand-and-supply cycle Himachal Pradesh has takenthe lead by deciding to buy-back non-recyclable plastic waste and sin-gle-use plastic at a minimum support price of Rs 75 per kg Such incen-tives can go a long way in curbing the availability of the eco-unfriendlymaterial Installing plastic disposal machines at railway stations andother public places is also a step in the right direction
Converting toxic waste into something productive is anotherchallenge Indian Oil Corporation plans to employ its refinery oper-ations to turn single-use plastic waste into specialised bitumen thatcan be utilised for the construction of roads and highways Moresuch out-of-the-box ideas are needed India can even draw inspira-tion from an unexpected quarter Rwanda According to a report ofthe UN Environment Programme the African country mdash once rav-aged by civil war and genocide mdash has become one of the cleanestcountries on the planet due to its proactive campaign against single-use plastic Where therersquos a will therersquos a plastic-free way
Congress a divided houseParty in disarray ahead of Haryana elections
NOTHING unites Congressmen more than the sight of electoralvictory while political wilderness brings to the fore bickeringin the rank and file The five years in opposition in Haryana
seem to have done the party little good with factionalism out in theopen Earlier it was state unit chief Ashok Tanwar who was in the fir-ing line after the party lost all 10 seats in the Lok Sabha elections Theroles have now been reversed with Tanwar training guns at former CMBhupinder Singh Hooda and state unit president Kumari Selja accus-ing them of selling the party ticket Tanwar took his fight to Delhiprotesting outside Sonia Gandhirsquos residence and asking to be relievedof all poll panels The rivalry spilled over after Selja was made thestate president and Hooda the chief of the election management com-mittee A video went viral allegedly to embarrass the party a daybefore Hooda is slated to file his nomination
Tanwar is known to be close to Rahul Gandhi and with the latter step-ping aside after the loss in the Lok Sabha elections his replacement wasonly a matter of time His fight for tickets for his loyalists is natural Butthe party apparently wishes to throw its weight behind the old guard tohave a go at the BJP in the Assembly elections
The Congress was known for strong regional satraps Like VirbhadraSingh in HP and Capt Amarinder Singh in Punjab the partyrsquos decisionprobably is dictated by the prospect of facing a resurgent BJP With Sel-ja in the saddle the Congress has tried to offset the possible loss of Dalitvotes by Tanwarrsquos replacement A lsquohuman bombrsquo cost Rajiv Gandhi hislife and Tanwar should be circumspect in using the term howeverinnocuous the context might be even as his grievance should be lookedinto His next course of action is awaited but the party itself should beseen as fighting the BJP and not amongst itself

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 4 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED
AT Chinarsquos National DayParade on October 1 the mili-tary might of the Peoplersquos Lib-eration Army (PLA) in full dis-
play was watched closely by the worldThe commander-in-chief of the PLA XiJinping inspected the parade which fea-tured 15000 troops 160 aircraft and 600pieces of equipment
What caught the attention of dis-cerning observers were the new mis-siles which are a part of the 2016-raised rocket force (PeoplersquosLiberation Army Rocket ForcePLARF) The Dongfeng DF-41 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)with a range of 15000 km travelling atseven km per second approximatespeed Mach 20 (Mach is the speed ofsound) and 500 meters accuracy theDongfeng DF-100 hypersonic cruisemissile and the Dongfeng DF-17medium range ballistic missile fittedwith Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)mdash DF-ZF mdash with a range of 2000 km
While western analysts focused onDF-41 ICBM which would play a crit-ical role in strategic counterbalancedeterrence and in winning war forIndia the DF-100 and DF-17 fittedwith HGV mdash DF-ZF mdash should be acause of concern Hypersonic mis-siles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this centurywhich would mdash between India andChina mdash replace nuclear deterrence
with non-nuclear deterrence reshapethe rules of conventional war-fight-ing and transform geopolitics Onlythree countries mdash the US Russia andChina mdash have made credible stridesin procuring harnessing and exploiting this technology
Hypersonic missiles are radically dif-ferent from ballistic and cruise missilesBallistic missiles boosted by powerfulrocket engines leave the atmosphere(the dividing altitude between atmos-phere and space is 100 km) to enterspace reach the apogee and then re-enter atmosphere to hit the designatedtarget These missiles follow a definedelliptical trajectory which helps theBallistic Missile Defence (BMD) sys-tem to intercept and neutralise theirwarhead before it causes damage TheUS since over four decades has invest-ed heavily in BMD systems Inspiredby it India too has invested in indige-nous BMD since 2000
Cruise missiles stay within theatmosphere fly at low altitude toevade ground-based radars and arepowered and guided throughout theflight in a defined near-flat trajectoryuntil its designated target Cruise mis-siles powered by air-breathing jetengines have sub-sonic speeds exceptIndiarsquos BrahMos missile which pow-ered by ramjet engine has a superson-ic speed of Mach 3 To defeat cruisemissiles there are technologies likethe Russian S-400 Air Defence MissileSystem (ADMS) amongst others
Hypersonic cruise missiles with twopeculiarities are a class apart Onethey have speed upwards of Mach 5 mdashtheir kinetic energy (derived frommotion) itself is enough to destroyhardened and underground facilities
Two they fly at low altitudes thoughhigher than cruise missiles and aredifficult to detect by terrestrial or
land-based radars because of theirability to change course rapidlyUnlike ballistic and cruise missileswhich follow a defined trajectoryhypersonic missiles are highlymanoeuvrable thereby giving very lit-tle reaction time to the opponent tojudge which target is being hit Thisdelayed detection makes timelyresponse extremely difficult
HGV are fitted on ballistic missilerocket engines like DF-17 DF-21 DF-26 and even DF-41 ICBM and boostedAfter a certain boost phase the HGVdetaches itself from the rocket andglides towards its target 2000 kmaway in a wayward rather than adefined low flight trajectory
Senior officials from Raytheon Com-pany of the US recently told thiswriter at an international air show thatmeeting the hypersonic cruise missilechallenge would require new sensorsfor early detection Since terrestrial
sensors alone would not work theneed would be to have a mix of space-based and terrestrial sensors Theentire hypersonic missile defencearchitecture they said would requirehuge investments patience technolo-gy and technical expertise
Given the new missilersquos characteris-tics the DF-100 and DF-17 with HGVin PLA inventory would be a powerfulasymmetric capability For instance itwould be a national humiliation if theHGV were to hit and destroy Indiarsquosaircraft carrier Since India mdash familiarwith PLArsquos nuclear weapons invento-ry mdash is unlikely to raise the stakesChinarsquos new deterrence as well as dis-ruptive war-fighting capability wouldreside in its useable non-nuclear HGVIndiarsquos nuclear weapons purportedlydelivered by its submarines Agniseries ballistic missiles and aircraftwould on the other hand be rendereduseless against China
Such a possibility deserves an urgentreview both of Indiarsquos nuclear deter-rence against China and the indigenousBMD which despite the infusion ofhuge funds has unfortunately notdemonstrated satisfactory results In2011 the then Defence Research andDevelopment Organisation (DRDO)chief VK Saraswat had spelt out thetimelines to this writer for the accom-plishment of the BMD programme Hehad said that by 2013 phase one of theproject which involved successful inter-ception of hostile missiles with 2000-kmrange would be achieved Phase two ofthe programme which required neutral-isation of 5000-km range ballistic mis-siles would be done by 2015 the sameyear when the ballistic missile shieldwould become available for impreg-nable defence of the capital city of Delhiand major metropolises The purchaseof five units or regiments of Russian S-400 ADMS in 2016 is evidence thatSaraswat was doing kite-flying
Even the military should take itsportion of the blame Many DRDO sci-entists have told me that the militaryleadership unable to find or under-stand operational employment ofhypersonic missiles has shown littleinterest in their presentations WithPLA having showcased these missilesthe Defence Minister ought to take thebull by the horns A way forward is toseek Russian cooperation through thesuccessful BrahMos supersonic cruisemissile programme Given that Brah-Mos is Indiarsquos most successfuldefence programme has consistentlymet its timelines has been acceptedby the three defence services and hasgenerated employment and wealth itcould be the ideal vehicle for thedevelopment of hypersonic cruisemissiles and strengthening bilateralrelations between India and Russia

The Yemeni war began in March 2015when Saudi forces invaded the countryto intervene in what was essentially adomestic dispute between the Houthisand the government of PresidentAbdrabbuh Mansur Hadi The Saudisinvaded Yemen because they viewedthe Houthis as Iranian proxies both ofthem being Shia The Houthis defeatedthe forces loyal to Hadi and capturedSanarsquoa the countryrsquos capital in Sep-tember 2014 In January 2015 Hadiresigned and later fled to Saudi Arabiawhere he presently lives in exile
The Saudi decision to invade Yemenwas taken by Mohammad bin Salman(MbS) the present Crown Prince of Sau-di Arabia To attack Yemen the Saudismobilised a coalition that included theUAE Egypt Jordan Morocco SudanKuwait Qatar and Bahrain But essen-tially it was the Saudi and Emirati
forces that were involved in the inva-sion which was also supported by theUS and the UK They providedweapons logistical support and target-ing information to the Saudis
The Wahhabi Saudis wanted a gov-ernment in Yemen that was not con-trolled by the Zaidi Shia HouthisThey also wanted to control Yemenrsquosoil and a pipeline from their oilfieldsto a harbour in Yemen which wouldhave enabled them to avoid the Iran-dominated Strait of Hormuz
The Saudis and the Emiratis expecteda quick victory against the Houthis whowere a rag-tag bunch of fighters withoutan organised army or sophisticatedweapons However they were highlymotivated agile innovative and knew
the terrain well The Saudis and theEmiratis on the other hand were poorfighters accustomed to the comforts oflife They could not match the Houthison the ground and soon resorted toindiscriminate bombing from the airkilling thousands of civilians
According to reliable estimatesaround 2 lakh Yemenis have died in thefighting including 1 lakh childrenunder the age of five from famine and acholera epidemic On some occasionsinternational aid was prevented fromreaching the Yemeni people by blockad-ing of the ports by the Saudis and theirallies And notably the self-styled glob-al lsquocustodiansrsquo of human rights werecomplicit in this genocidal war For thisreason it became a lsquoforgottenrsquo war
receiving very little media coverage TheUnited Nations has called it the biggesthumanitarian crisis on the planet
However the situation began tochange in May 2019 when the Houthislaunched drone attacks against someSaudi oil facilities That was followedon August 17 by a multiple droneattack on Shaybah a massive Saudi oiland gas field which is around 1200 kmfrom Houthi-controlled territory inYemen The drone attacks demonstrat-ed the vulnerability of the Saudi oilinfrastructure to the attacks by theHouthis and the range of their dronesand missiles Neither the Saudis northe Americans currently have any mis-sile or air defence systems that canoffer protection against such attacks
It is clear that drones have been agame-changer in Yemen One experthas called them ldquothe most disruptivemilitary technology yet conceivedrdquoThey are cheap costing only a few mil-lion dollars compared to the Saudiarsenal costing hundreds of billions ofdollars The Houthis are now makingtheir own drones based on Iraniandesigns and technical advice They arealso probably importing drones andcruise missiles from Iran
The Saudis have suffered anotherreversal in Yemen Their major ally theUAE pulled out of the war a few monthsago when the port of Aden in the Southfell to the Southern Transitional Coun-cil a separatist group backed by theUAE This has infuriated the Saudis butthey have not been able to do much
The Saudis and the Americans have
blamed Iran for the September 14attack on Abqaiq instead of the Houthiswho have claimed responsibility for itIran has denied any role in the attackThe US is unlikely to attack Iran but ifit does it could set the whole regionon fire That could adversely affectalmost seven million people of Indianorigin who work in the Gulf and remitbillions of dollars to India
On September 20 the US announcedthat it was sending troops and more mis-sile defence systems such as Patriot andTHAAD (Terminal High Altitude AreaDefence ) to Saudi Arabia However theyare unlikely to be effective against low-flying drones which can only be stoppedby short-range Russian systems such asPantsyr-S1 and the BUK-2 which theRussians have used to defend their basein Syria against similar attacks
On September 28 the Houthis dealtanother blow to the Saudis by launch-ing a ground attack within Saudi terri-tory near Najran in which three Saudibrigades were defeated and hundredsof soldiers were either killed woundedor captured The operation demonstrat-ed that Saudi Arabia was vulnerable toair and ground attack by the Houthis
The asymmetrical warfare fought bythe Houthis appears to have broughtSaudi Arabia to its knees The WallStreet Journal reported on August 28that the Trump administration waspreparing to initiate negotiations withthe Houthis to end the war in Yemen Itremains to be seen when or if that hap-pens But one thing is clear The war inYemen is no longer lsquoforgottenrsquo
NIRAJ SRIVASTAVAFORMER AMBASSADOR
The Houthis an IslamicZaidi Shia political and
armed movement active inYemen have been fightinga war against Saudi Arabiaand the UAE for more thanfour years The Saudis and
the Americans have blamedIran for the Sept 14 attackon the Saudi oil processing
plant at Abqaiq eventhough the Houthis haveclaimed responsibility for
it Drones have been a tipping point in the

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them
lsquoWe saved our land from catastrophersquo
TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

Patiala October 3The Punjab Government hasadopted the updated ModelWelfare Scheme for regis-tered construction workers inthe state But ignoring theguidelines of the Union Min-istry of Labour and Employ-ment it has not shunned theexisting schemes therebydiluting the sole purpose ofthe said scheme
The new welfare schemereads ldquoAt the outset it ismade clear that the socialsecurity benefits of the Mod-el Welfare Scheme as men-tioned below will hold prece-dence over all the existingbenefits and that only aftermeeting these priorityexpenses any balance of thefund may be utilised for giv-ing additional benefits underSection 22(H) of the Actrdquo
The Supreme Court onMarch 19 2018 had saidldquoThe state governments andUTAs have framed haphaz-ardly a large number ofschemes allegedly for the
benefit of the constructionworkers The multiplicity ofschemes brings to mind theadage too many cooks spoilthe brothrdquo
Subsequently theSupreme Court had askedthe Union Labour Ministryfor a composite ModelScheme for constructionworkers Following theorders on October 30 2018the Central Governmentdirected all state govern-ments to strictly comply withthe Model Welfare Scheme
Under this scheme there
are supposed to be only sevenwelfare schemes for the bene-fit of the construction work-ers However the state willnow be implementing thescheme without shunning the10 existing ones thereby giv-ing more scope of corruption
The said model scheme wasexpected to curb the misuseand poor implementation oftoo many welfare schemes
It is pertinent to mentionthat fake registrations andvarious anomalies weredetected under the existingschemes in the first-ever
audit of the State LabourWelfare Board
Seemingly the new welfarescheme adopted by the stategovernment is old wine innew bottle say experts
The new Model WelfareScheme espoused by the Cen-tre was aimed at giving mini-mum basic social security ben-efits to maximum constructionworkers However the state bynot implementing the modelscheme in its letter and spirithas already diluted the pur-pose of the scheme
Meanwhile VK JanjuaPrincipal Secretary LabourDepartment said ldquoOnly aftergoing through the SupremeCourt orders and Centralministryrsquos guidelines wehave adopted the schemeThe decision to continue theexisting schemes was a col-lective one We have provi-sions to carry the existingschemes under the Actrdquo
Janjua claimed that stepswere being taken to curb themisuse of the schemes andgive benefits to actual con-struction workers

is a vote game Politiciansdo not realise that they aremaking the people depend-ent on them Votes neverget translated by freebiesMore importantly if it is aCentre-funded schemehow can the Punjab CMtake the entire creditrdquo

As we celebrate the 550th birthanniversary of Guru Nanak immac-ulate planning and arrangements arebeing made for nagar kirtan langarshabad kirtan etc Quintals of flow-ers will be used during various cere-monies apart from impressive deco-rations involving huge expenditureAll political parties and also religiousbodies are set to take credit for vari-ous events including the opening ofthe Kartarpur corridor There is noth-ing wrong in doing so but some-where we seem to have forgotten thereal message of the Guru
Guru Nanak preached simplicity andlaid emphasis on observing honesty inwhatever one does He was not in
favour of any ostentatious show Heworked for the poor and underprivi-leged He was all for education whichhe thought would help one to be ofsome use to others (vidya veechari tanparupkari) Can our leaders both polit-ical and religious think of doing some-thing more meaningful forhumankind Can we think of opening550 hospitals 550 schools and collegesand an equal number of de-addictioncentres to save our youth and guidethem to live a purposeful life AkalTakht is the highest temporal seat ofthe Sikhs and any verdict issued fromthere is binding on the Sikh communi-ty It should issue certain diktats to takesociety out of perennial social evils
Punjabis including Sikhs areknown to organise lavish parties on
weddings where liquor flows likewater and non-vegetarian food isserved It has become a status symbolThere are some who can afford thislavish and avoidable expendituremany more are compelled to do itunder pressure as a face-saving exer-cise It is not uncommon that some-times they may have to part with aprecious piece of agricultural land ortake substantial loans Subsequentlythis financial burden emerges as amajor reason for farm suicides
A message from Akal Takht to banlavish parties serving of liquor andnon-vegetarian food and to restrictthe number of baratis to say 20may save many lives Will it not bethe best way to celebrate theGurursquos birth anniversary

President Trump is the quintessen-tial populist leader he disdains politi-cal proprieties His presidency hasbeen ridden by controversy since dayone random dismissal of importantofficials wilful decisions and opendistribution of benefits to his ownfamily Ever since the Democrats tookover the House of Representatives inJanuary 2019 the Congress has beenpulverised The Republican-con-trolled Senate has blocked every pieceof progressive legislation passed bythe House It is not therefore surpris-ing that in September the Speaker ofthe House of Representatives NancyPelosi announced that an impeach-ment inquiry would be initiatedagainst the President He had report-edly requested his counterpart in theUkraine to lsquodig up dirtrsquo on Joe Bidena possible Democrat contender for the2020 presidential elections Does ask-ing a foreign power to intervene inelections warrant impeachment
Historians suggest that members of
the Constitutional Convention that metin Philadelphia in 1787 to draw up theAmerican constitution were unhappywith the authority vested in the Presi-dent In accordance with doctrines ofchecks and balances the Congress wasgiven the power to impeach the Presi-dent in cases of lsquotreason bribery or oth-er high crimes and misdemeanorsrsquoThis provision which was in keepingwith the spirit of British constitutionaland legal practice is not meant to pun-ish the incumbent of the White Housemerely to remove him from office Theprocess is cumbersome The House ofRepresentatives has to pass Articles ofImpeachment or a list of charges by amajority vote The case then goes to theSenate which is convened as a judici-ary to hear arguments from both sidesThe removal of the President requires atwo-thirds majority
It was feared as one of the foundersof the American constitution acceptedin a piece in Federalist No 65 thatimpeachment will ignite political pas-sions harness animosities partialitiesand influence and divide the countryThe process might prove more harm-ful than any decision on innocence orguilt Alexander Hamilton was pre-scient Impeachment proceedings
have been launched against two Pres-idents mdash Andrew Johnson in 1868 andBill Clinton in 1998 The former tookover the presidency after the assassi-nation of President Abraham Lincolnduring the civil war in 1868 He is con-sidered a racist because he openlysupported the cause of White South-erners and opposed the civil rights ofliberated Afro-Americans He wasimpeached on a technical issue thatof vetoing a law passed by the Con-gress In the Senate his impeachmentwas defeated by one vote
Impeachment proceedings were ini-tiated against Clinton following alle-gations that he had lied to the SpecialProsecutor about his sexual relation-ship with a White House intern Hewas under oath The move failedbecause it could not secure a two-thirds majority in the Senate Clin-tonrsquos case is controversial expertsargue that a President cannot beimpeached for personal wrongdoingthat may not reflect on public affairs
The only President against whomimpeachment proceedings would havebeen successful is Richard Nixon Hehowever resigned within two years ofhis second term In July 1974 28 out of38 members of the House of Represen-
tatives judiciary committee voted toimpeach him Members of his own par-ty affirmed that they would voteagainst him On August 5 the prover-bial lsquosmoking gunrsquo established that hehad covered the break into the head-quarters of the Democratic Party atWatergate by his campaign committeeduring the 1972 presidential pollsNixon was aware that the Senate wouldvote for his dismissal He resigned Ifimpeachment had succeeded it wouldhave established the superiority of theCongress over the executive
Today Democrats have left no stoneunturned to impeach the President forserious abuse of power Trump tweetsconspiracy theories and appeals to hisconstituency He also threatens to findthe whistleblower These two extreme-ly irresponsible statements can possi-bly add to the list of offences chartedout in the Articles of Impeachment
Hamiltonrsquos foreboding thatimpeachment would divide popularopinion and split the country ratherthan successfully remove the Presi-dent from power has come true Everfaithful to their vocation survey agen-cies have rushed to the American peo-ple for their opinion the Presidentrsquosmen rush to television studios to pleadthat their boss is being victimised thePresident tweets that this is a conspir-acy and Democrats claim that a robustcase exists for impeaching Trump
Even if the House of Representa-tives votes for impeachment it isdebatable whether the move will passthe Senate which controlled by theRepublicans backs the President atleast to date More significantlyTrump has a significant base amongconservative voters and the ruralheartland On October 1 he tweeted anelectoral map dominated by his colourred mdash lsquoTry and impeach thisrsquo he chal-lenged Perceive the irony The pop-ulist leader scorns institutions andaddresses the lsquopeoplersquo Therefore hecan present himself as a casualty ofintrigues even though he is the mostpowerful man on earth Nothing workslike sentimental narratives of victim-hood Trump might emerge as a mar-tyr as a hostage of entrenched powernot quite smelling of roses but still

Stuck with plasticMass movement needed to reduce its use
THE government has finally woken up to the menace of single-useplastic though it has stopped short of announcing a blanket banSuch plastic commonly used for packaging and carrying goods
is disposable but its indiscriminate disposal has been wreaking havocon the environment Even as PM Narendra Modi is envisioning anIndia free of single-use plastic by 2022 the onus is on various stake-holders right from the industry to the consumer to decrease (andeventually stop) its consumption and popularise alternatives such aspaper and jute The prevailing economic slowdown and the prospectof more job losses have prevented the NDA government characteristi-cally not known for restraint and moderation from rushing into aknee-jerk decision As of now single-use plastic will not be allowedinside national monuments and within 100 metres of their boundary
The national focus on generating public awareness about the boon-turned-bane is a welcome move The imposition of bans and fines hasoften proved counter-productive due to lax enforcement and wide-spread non-cooperation Old habits die hard A behavioural change canhappen only if a mass movement sweeps the country It is imperativeto break the demand-and-supply cycle Himachal Pradesh has takenthe lead by deciding to buy-back non-recyclable plastic waste and sin-gle-use plastic at a minimum support price of Rs 75 per kg Such incen-tives can go a long way in curbing the availability of the eco-unfriendlymaterial Installing plastic disposal machines at railway stations andother public places is also a step in the right direction
Converting toxic waste into something productive is anotherchallenge Indian Oil Corporation plans to employ its refinery oper-ations to turn single-use plastic waste into specialised bitumen thatcan be utilised for the construction of roads and highways Moresuch out-of-the-box ideas are needed India can even draw inspira-tion from an unexpected quarter Rwanda According to a report ofthe UN Environment Programme the African country mdash once rav-aged by civil war and genocide mdash has become one of the cleanestcountries on the planet due to its proactive campaign against single-use plastic Where therersquos a will therersquos a plastic-free way
Congress a divided houseParty in disarray ahead of Haryana elections
NOTHING unites Congressmen more than the sight of electoralvictory while political wilderness brings to the fore bickeringin the rank and file The five years in opposition in Haryana
seem to have done the party little good with factionalism out in theopen Earlier it was state unit chief Ashok Tanwar who was in the fir-ing line after the party lost all 10 seats in the Lok Sabha elections Theroles have now been reversed with Tanwar training guns at former CMBhupinder Singh Hooda and state unit president Kumari Selja accus-ing them of selling the party ticket Tanwar took his fight to Delhiprotesting outside Sonia Gandhirsquos residence and asking to be relievedof all poll panels The rivalry spilled over after Selja was made thestate president and Hooda the chief of the election management com-mittee A video went viral allegedly to embarrass the party a daybefore Hooda is slated to file his nomination
Tanwar is known to be close to Rahul Gandhi and with the latter step-ping aside after the loss in the Lok Sabha elections his replacement wasonly a matter of time His fight for tickets for his loyalists is natural Butthe party apparently wishes to throw its weight behind the old guard tohave a go at the BJP in the Assembly elections
The Congress was known for strong regional satraps Like VirbhadraSingh in HP and Capt Amarinder Singh in Punjab the partyrsquos decisionprobably is dictated by the prospect of facing a resurgent BJP With Sel-ja in the saddle the Congress has tried to offset the possible loss of Dalitvotes by Tanwarrsquos replacement A lsquohuman bombrsquo cost Rajiv Gandhi hislife and Tanwar should be circumspect in using the term howeverinnocuous the context might be even as his grievance should be lookedinto His next course of action is awaited but the party itself should beseen as fighting the BJP and not amongst itself

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 4 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED
AT Chinarsquos National DayParade on October 1 the mili-tary might of the Peoplersquos Lib-eration Army (PLA) in full dis-
play was watched closely by the worldThe commander-in-chief of the PLA XiJinping inspected the parade which fea-tured 15000 troops 160 aircraft and 600pieces of equipment
What caught the attention of dis-cerning observers were the new mis-siles which are a part of the 2016-raised rocket force (PeoplersquosLiberation Army Rocket ForcePLARF) The Dongfeng DF-41 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)with a range of 15000 km travelling atseven km per second approximatespeed Mach 20 (Mach is the speed ofsound) and 500 meters accuracy theDongfeng DF-100 hypersonic cruisemissile and the Dongfeng DF-17medium range ballistic missile fittedwith Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)mdash DF-ZF mdash with a range of 2000 km
While western analysts focused onDF-41 ICBM which would play a crit-ical role in strategic counterbalancedeterrence and in winning war forIndia the DF-100 and DF-17 fittedwith HGV mdash DF-ZF mdash should be acause of concern Hypersonic mis-siles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this centurywhich would mdash between India andChina mdash replace nuclear deterrence
with non-nuclear deterrence reshapethe rules of conventional war-fight-ing and transform geopolitics Onlythree countries mdash the US Russia andChina mdash have made credible stridesin procuring harnessing and exploiting this technology
Hypersonic missiles are radically dif-ferent from ballistic and cruise missilesBallistic missiles boosted by powerfulrocket engines leave the atmosphere(the dividing altitude between atmos-phere and space is 100 km) to enterspace reach the apogee and then re-enter atmosphere to hit the designatedtarget These missiles follow a definedelliptical trajectory which helps theBallistic Missile Defence (BMD) sys-tem to intercept and neutralise theirwarhead before it causes damage TheUS since over four decades has invest-ed heavily in BMD systems Inspiredby it India too has invested in indige-nous BMD since 2000
Cruise missiles stay within theatmosphere fly at low altitude toevade ground-based radars and arepowered and guided throughout theflight in a defined near-flat trajectoryuntil its designated target Cruise mis-siles powered by air-breathing jetengines have sub-sonic speeds exceptIndiarsquos BrahMos missile which pow-ered by ramjet engine has a superson-ic speed of Mach 3 To defeat cruisemissiles there are technologies likethe Russian S-400 Air Defence MissileSystem (ADMS) amongst others
Hypersonic cruise missiles with twopeculiarities are a class apart Onethey have speed upwards of Mach 5 mdashtheir kinetic energy (derived frommotion) itself is enough to destroyhardened and underground facilities
Two they fly at low altitudes thoughhigher than cruise missiles and aredifficult to detect by terrestrial or
land-based radars because of theirability to change course rapidlyUnlike ballistic and cruise missileswhich follow a defined trajectoryhypersonic missiles are highlymanoeuvrable thereby giving very lit-tle reaction time to the opponent tojudge which target is being hit Thisdelayed detection makes timelyresponse extremely difficult
HGV are fitted on ballistic missilerocket engines like DF-17 DF-21 DF-26 and even DF-41 ICBM and boostedAfter a certain boost phase the HGVdetaches itself from the rocket andglides towards its target 2000 kmaway in a wayward rather than adefined low flight trajectory
Senior officials from Raytheon Com-pany of the US recently told thiswriter at an international air show thatmeeting the hypersonic cruise missilechallenge would require new sensorsfor early detection Since terrestrial
sensors alone would not work theneed would be to have a mix of space-based and terrestrial sensors Theentire hypersonic missile defencearchitecture they said would requirehuge investments patience technolo-gy and technical expertise
Given the new missilersquos characteris-tics the DF-100 and DF-17 with HGVin PLA inventory would be a powerfulasymmetric capability For instance itwould be a national humiliation if theHGV were to hit and destroy Indiarsquosaircraft carrier Since India mdash familiarwith PLArsquos nuclear weapons invento-ry mdash is unlikely to raise the stakesChinarsquos new deterrence as well as dis-ruptive war-fighting capability wouldreside in its useable non-nuclear HGVIndiarsquos nuclear weapons purportedlydelivered by its submarines Agniseries ballistic missiles and aircraftwould on the other hand be rendereduseless against China
Such a possibility deserves an urgentreview both of Indiarsquos nuclear deter-rence against China and the indigenousBMD which despite the infusion ofhuge funds has unfortunately notdemonstrated satisfactory results In2011 the then Defence Research andDevelopment Organisation (DRDO)chief VK Saraswat had spelt out thetimelines to this writer for the accom-plishment of the BMD programme Hehad said that by 2013 phase one of theproject which involved successful inter-ception of hostile missiles with 2000-kmrange would be achieved Phase two ofthe programme which required neutral-isation of 5000-km range ballistic mis-siles would be done by 2015 the sameyear when the ballistic missile shieldwould become available for impreg-nable defence of the capital city of Delhiand major metropolises The purchaseof five units or regiments of Russian S-400 ADMS in 2016 is evidence thatSaraswat was doing kite-flying
Even the military should take itsportion of the blame Many DRDO sci-entists have told me that the militaryleadership unable to find or under-stand operational employment ofhypersonic missiles has shown littleinterest in their presentations WithPLA having showcased these missilesthe Defence Minister ought to take thebull by the horns A way forward is toseek Russian cooperation through thesuccessful BrahMos supersonic cruisemissile programme Given that Brah-Mos is Indiarsquos most successfuldefence programme has consistentlymet its timelines has been acceptedby the three defence services and hasgenerated employment and wealth itcould be the ideal vehicle for thedevelopment of hypersonic cruisemissiles and strengthening bilateralrelations between India and Russia

THE world was taken by surpriseon September 14 when thelargest Saudi oil processingplant at Abqaiq was hit by a
lsquoswarmrsquo of around 25 drones and somecruise missiles launched by the Houthirebels in Yemen one of the poorestcountries in the world The attackscaused extensive damage to the plantknocking out 60 per cent of the Saudi oilproduction and triggering a 20 per centspike in oil prices And the worldrsquosattention was thus suddenly focused onYemen and the Houthis an Islamic Zai-di Shia political and armed movementwhich has been fighting a lsquoforgottenrsquowar against Saudi Arabia and the UAEfor more than four years
The Yemeni war began in March 2015when Saudi forces invaded the countryto intervene in what was essentially adomestic dispute between the Houthisand the government of PresidentAbdrabbuh Mansur Hadi The Saudisinvaded Yemen because they viewedthe Houthis as Iranian proxies both ofthem being Shia The Houthis defeatedthe forces loyal to Hadi and capturedSanarsquoa the countryrsquos capital in Sep-tember 2014 In January 2015 Hadiresigned and later fled to Saudi Arabiawhere he presently lives in exile
The Saudi decision to invade Yemenwas taken by Mohammad bin Salman(MbS) the present Crown Prince of Sau-di Arabia To attack Yemen the Saudismobilised a coalition that included theUAE Egypt Jordan Morocco SudanKuwait Qatar and Bahrain But essen-tially it was the Saudi and Emirati
forces that were involved in the inva-sion which was also supported by theUS and the UK They providedweapons logistical support and target-ing information to the Saudis
The Wahhabi Saudis wanted a gov-ernment in Yemen that was not con-trolled by the Zaidi Shia HouthisThey also wanted to control Yemenrsquosoil and a pipeline from their oilfieldsto a harbour in Yemen which wouldhave enabled them to avoid the Iran-dominated Strait of Hormuz
The Saudis and the Emiratis expecteda quick victory against the Houthis whowere a rag-tag bunch of fighters withoutan organised army or sophisticatedweapons However they were highlymotivated agile innovative and knew
the terrain well The Saudis and theEmiratis on the other hand were poorfighters accustomed to the comforts oflife They could not match the Houthison the ground and soon resorted toindiscriminate bombing from the airkilling thousands of civilians
According to reliable estimatesaround 2 lakh Yemenis have died in thefighting including 1 lakh childrenunder the age of five from famine and acholera epidemic On some occasionsinternational aid was prevented fromreaching the Yemeni people by blockad-ing of the ports by the Saudis and theirallies And notably the self-styled glob-al lsquocustodiansrsquo of human rights werecomplicit in this genocidal war For thisreason it became a lsquoforgottenrsquo war
receiving very little media coverage TheUnited Nations has called it the biggesthumanitarian crisis on the planet
However the situation began tochange in May 2019 when the Houthislaunched drone attacks against someSaudi oil facilities That was followedon August 17 by a multiple droneattack on Shaybah a massive Saudi oiland gas field which is around 1200 kmfrom Houthi-controlled territory inYemen The drone attacks demonstrat-ed the vulnerability of the Saudi oilinfrastructure to the attacks by theHouthis and the range of their dronesand missiles Neither the Saudis northe Americans currently have any mis-sile or air defence systems that canoffer protection against such attacks
It is clear that drones have been agame-changer in Yemen One experthas called them ldquothe most disruptivemilitary technology yet conceivedrdquoThey are cheap costing only a few mil-lion dollars compared to the Saudiarsenal costing hundreds of billions ofdollars The Houthis are now makingtheir own drones based on Iraniandesigns and technical advice They arealso probably importing drones andcruise missiles from Iran
The Saudis have suffered anotherreversal in Yemen Their major ally theUAE pulled out of the war a few monthsago when the port of Aden in the Southfell to the Southern Transitional Coun-cil a separatist group backed by theUAE This has infuriated the Saudis butthey have not been able to do much
The Saudis and the Americans have
blamed Iran for the September 14attack on Abqaiq instead of the Houthiswho have claimed responsibility for itIran has denied any role in the attackThe US is unlikely to attack Iran but ifit does it could set the whole regionon fire That could adversely affectalmost seven million people of Indianorigin who work in the Gulf and remitbillions of dollars to India
On September 20 the US announcedthat it was sending troops and more mis-sile defence systems such as Patriot andTHAAD (Terminal High Altitude AreaDefence ) to Saudi Arabia However theyare unlikely to be effective against low-flying drones which can only be stoppedby short-range Russian systems such asPantsyr-S1 and the BUK-2 which theRussians have used to defend their basein Syria against similar attacks
On September 28 the Houthis dealtanother blow to the Saudis by launch-ing a ground attack within Saudi terri-tory near Najran in which three Saudibrigades were defeated and hundredsof soldiers were either killed woundedor captured The operation demonstrat-ed that Saudi Arabia was vulnerable toair and ground attack by the Houthis
The asymmetrical warfare fought bythe Houthis appears to have broughtSaudi Arabia to its knees The WallStreet Journal reported on August 28that the Trump administration waspreparing to initiate negotiations withthe Houthis to end the war in Yemen Itremains to be seen when or if that hap-pens But one thing is clear The war inYemen is no longer lsquoforgottenrsquo

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them
lsquoWe saved our land from catastrophersquo
TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

Aatiya is a Class X studentShe has submitted the formfor her annual exams butdoesnrsquot know whether theexams will be held She is yetto complete the syllabus atthe school where her last classwas held before August 3
ldquoOur education seems tobe over There is still silenceand shutdown it is not safefor us to go to school in sucha situationrdquo she told TheTribune at her home in Sri-nagar where she is prepar-ing the assignments provid-ed to her by the school ldquoIam not able to concentrateit is a very difficult situationfor all studentsrdquo she said
The Divisional Commis-sioner Kashmir Baseer
Ahmad Khan announced theopening of schools up to ClassXII from Thursday but whilea few schools had opened thestudents continued to remainaway from classes disobeyingthe governmentrsquos order It isfor the second time sinceAugust 19 that the govern-ment announced opening of schools but the students stayed away
The government has alsoannounced opening ofinstitutes of higher educa-tion from October 9 but itseems unlikely that stu-dents will attend the class-es as the communication
and internet clampdowncontinues in Kashmir
Many parents continueto raise safety issues ofstudents and haverestrained from sendingthem to schools ldquoWe willnot send our children toschools There is no publictransport and everythingis shut How can studentsas young as 4 5 and 6 yearsof age go to schools Whatwill they do if a stone hitsthem or something hap-pens Who will inform uswhen the phones are not workingrdquo asked Rosy Jan a mother

Surprisingly the centrehas no doctor or psychia-
trist As per informationthe centre is run by just aproject coordinator a coun-selor a pharmacist and asafai karamchari The
recent suicide by a 64-year-old man addicted to alcoholhas now put a questionmark on the safety ofinmates and the staff
deployed at the centre Asthere is no watchman or asecurity guard it is fearedthat such unsavory inci-dents can recur
Set up in the OBC hostelbuilding the centre canadmit 10 addicts at a timebut its full capacity couldnever be used for want ofrequisite staff Centre incharge-cum-project coordi-nator Amit Kumar admittedthat the centre was unableto admit more than fiveaddicts at a time and thewaiting list of addicts hadalways been quite long
ldquoThe working environ-ment is unsafe too as thestaff is always under threatof being attacked by theinmates who turn aggres-sive on being denied syn-thetic drugs or intoxi-cantsrdquo he said
As the centre is locatednear the border of PunjabHimachal Pradesh and Jam-mu amp Kashmir where drugtrafficking is on the risedespite registration of casesunder the NDPS Act thedemand for better facilitiesand more staff has been gain-ing momentum

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

link their loan products to anexternal benchmark like reporate for the faster transmissionof reduction in policy rates toborrowers from October 1
Ahead of the meeting theDas-headed Financial Stabil-ity and Development Council(FSDC) sub-committee tookstock of the prevailing macro-economic situation
Earlier the RBI Governorhad said the government hadlittle fiscal space giving hopethat the bank may providemore monetary stimulus toprop up the economy The gov-ernmentrsquos fiscal space hasbeen squeezed on account ofcut in the rates of corporate taxas well as lowering of the GSTrate on various goods Rev-enue collection too has beenbelow the Budget estimates
Experts are of the opinionthat another rate cut is on thecards as the governmentrsquoshands are tied and the onusof taking initiatives now restswith the central bank mdash PTI

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

Patiala October 3The Punjab Government hasadopted the updated ModelWelfare Scheme for regis-tered construction workers inthe state But ignoring theguidelines of the Union Min-istry of Labour and Employ-ment it has not shunned theexisting schemes therebydiluting the sole purpose ofthe said scheme
The new welfare schemereads ldquoAt the outset it ismade clear that the socialsecurity benefits of the Mod-el Welfare Scheme as men-tioned below will hold prece-dence over all the existingbenefits and that only aftermeeting these priorityexpenses any balance of thefund may be utilised for giv-ing additional benefits underSection 22(H) of the Actrdquo
The Supreme Court onMarch 19 2018 had saidldquoThe state governments andUTAs have framed haphaz-ardly a large number ofschemes allegedly for the
benefit of the constructionworkers The multiplicity ofschemes brings to mind theadage too many cooks spoilthe brothrdquo
Subsequently theSupreme Court had askedthe Union Labour Ministryfor a composite ModelScheme for constructionworkers Following theorders on October 30 2018the Central Governmentdirected all state govern-ments to strictly comply withthe Model Welfare Scheme
Under this scheme there
are supposed to be only sevenwelfare schemes for the bene-fit of the construction work-ers However the state willnow be implementing thescheme without shunning the10 existing ones thereby giv-ing more scope of corruption
The said model scheme wasexpected to curb the misuseand poor implementation oftoo many welfare schemes
It is pertinent to mentionthat fake registrations andvarious anomalies weredetected under the existingschemes in the first-ever
audit of the State LabourWelfare Board
Seemingly the new welfarescheme adopted by the stategovernment is old wine innew bottle say experts
The new Model WelfareScheme espoused by the Cen-tre was aimed at giving mini-mum basic social security ben-efits to maximum constructionworkers However the state bynot implementing the modelscheme in its letter and spirithas already diluted the pur-pose of the scheme
Meanwhile VK JanjuaPrincipal Secretary LabourDepartment said ldquoOnly aftergoing through the SupremeCourt orders and Centralministryrsquos guidelines wehave adopted the schemeThe decision to continue theexisting schemes was a col-lective one We have provi-sions to carry the existingschemes under the Actrdquo
Janjua claimed that stepswere being taken to curb themisuse of the schemes andgive benefits to actual con-struction workers

Anindita Mitra DirectorPublic Relations and DirectorFood Supplies says ldquoTheCentre has frozen the limit ofnumber of beneficiaries ofthe scheme in Punjab to 141crore This is because thegovernment has fixed a limitof covering up to 54 per centrural population and upto 49per cent urban populationunder the scheme We canincorporate 4 lakh more ben-eficiaries under the schemerdquo
Officials said 36 lakh fami-lies of Punjab had been cov-ered under it ldquoWe have beencontinuously deleting unduebeneficiaries Our survey willend in Decemberrdquo Mitra said
Monty Sehgal a BJPleader asked ldquoThe figuresseem forged to appease themasses There cannot be somany families in Punjabwhich are thriving on lessthan Rs 5000 per month It
is a vote game Politiciansdo not realise that they aremaking the people depend-ent on them Votes neverget translated by freebiesMore importantly if it is aCentre-funded schemehow can the Punjab CMtake the entire creditrdquo
SAD MLA Pawan Tinuasked ldquoWhen our govern-ment left we had covered35 lakh families At that
time the Congress leaderswere saying that we haveexaggerated the figures andthe real beneficiariesshould be far less So theygot verification startedwhich is yet to be complet-ed Rather than doing anydeletion they added 1 lakhmore families So our standgets vindicatedrdquo
On figures related to SehatBima Yojana a public rela-
tions officer pointed outldquoWhen 36 lakh blue cardbeneficiaries have beenincluded 494 lakh J-formholding farmer families havebeen covered 28 lakh smallfarmers more than 238 lakhregistered constructionworkers 46000 small tradersand 4500 journalists havebeen covered it is obviouslylike getting almost the entirePunjab coveredrdquo

For the love of Urdu Apropos the editorial lsquoLet Urduflourishrsquo (October 1) it is importantto highlight the significance ofUrdu It is the most beautiful lan-guage and to call it a foreign lan-guage is tantamount to a great dis-service to the language Ratherserious efforts should be made tointroduce Urdu in school curricu-lum at a suitable stage

I LIVE in Ludhiana and on manyoccasions have visited the ChristianMedical College amp Hospital
(CMCampH) for treatment of self orattending to a relative or friend Onethought always comes to mind whatmade Edith Mary Brown come hereand alleviate the miseries of people byestablishing a hospital mdash over 125 yearsago CMCampH has remained a premiermedical institution not only in Punjabbut also the entire North No doctor isallowed private practice and only thecommitted ones serve the institution
Though there has been a landmarkprogress in the development of infra-structure in the form of buildings andequipment not a single brick was
added to the church building whichcontinues to serve the purpose well
As we celebrate the 550th birthanniversary of Guru Nanak immac-ulate planning and arrangements arebeing made for nagar kirtan langarshabad kirtan etc Quintals of flow-ers will be used during various cere-monies apart from impressive deco-rations involving huge expenditureAll political parties and also religiousbodies are set to take credit for vari-ous events including the opening ofthe Kartarpur corridor There is noth-ing wrong in doing so but some-where we seem to have forgotten thereal message of the Guru
Guru Nanak preached simplicity andlaid emphasis on observing honesty inwhatever one does He was not in
favour of any ostentatious show Heworked for the poor and underprivi-leged He was all for education whichhe thought would help one to be ofsome use to others (vidya veechari tanparupkari) Can our leaders both polit-ical and religious think of doing some-thing more meaningful forhumankind Can we think of opening550 hospitals 550 schools and collegesand an equal number of de-addictioncentres to save our youth and guidethem to live a purposeful life AkalTakht is the highest temporal seat ofthe Sikhs and any verdict issued fromthere is binding on the Sikh communi-ty It should issue certain diktats to takesociety out of perennial social evils
Punjabis including Sikhs areknown to organise lavish parties on
weddings where liquor flows likewater and non-vegetarian food isserved It has become a status symbolThere are some who can afford thislavish and avoidable expendituremany more are compelled to do itunder pressure as a face-saving exer-cise It is not uncommon that some-times they may have to part with aprecious piece of agricultural land ortake substantial loans Subsequentlythis financial burden emerges as amajor reason for farm suicides
A message from Akal Takht to banlavish parties serving of liquor andnon-vegetarian food and to restrictthe number of baratis to say 20may save many lives Will it not bethe best way to celebrate theGurursquos birth anniversary
POLITICAL SCIENTIST
SUBSTANTIAL parts of ourworld have been captured byright-wing populists and inter-estingly all such leaders have a
great deal in common One they con-temptuously dismiss institutions asembodiments of privilege a nuisanceat best and irrelevant at worst Twopopulists forge a national constituencyunmediated by institutions organisa-tions or the opposition Three theyrepresent themselves as targets of con-spiracies fashioned by an elite that hasbecome corrupt moribund and irrele-vant Four populist leaders refuse toplay by rules of the game Whether it isTrump or Modi they have no hesita-tion in uttering statements that theirpredecessors would deem improperThey are simply unpredictable
President Trump is the quintessen-tial populist leader he disdains politi-cal proprieties His presidency hasbeen ridden by controversy since dayone random dismissal of importantofficials wilful decisions and opendistribution of benefits to his ownfamily Ever since the Democrats tookover the House of Representatives inJanuary 2019 the Congress has beenpulverised The Republican-con-trolled Senate has blocked every pieceof progressive legislation passed bythe House It is not therefore surpris-ing that in September the Speaker ofthe House of Representatives NancyPelosi announced that an impeach-ment inquiry would be initiatedagainst the President He had report-edly requested his counterpart in theUkraine to lsquodig up dirtrsquo on Joe Bidena possible Democrat contender for the2020 presidential elections Does ask-ing a foreign power to intervene inelections warrant impeachment
Historians suggest that members of
the Constitutional Convention that metin Philadelphia in 1787 to draw up theAmerican constitution were unhappywith the authority vested in the Presi-dent In accordance with doctrines ofchecks and balances the Congress wasgiven the power to impeach the Presi-dent in cases of lsquotreason bribery or oth-er high crimes and misdemeanorsrsquoThis provision which was in keepingwith the spirit of British constitutionaland legal practice is not meant to pun-ish the incumbent of the White Housemerely to remove him from office Theprocess is cumbersome The House ofRepresentatives has to pass Articles ofImpeachment or a list of charges by amajority vote The case then goes to theSenate which is convened as a judici-ary to hear arguments from both sidesThe removal of the President requires atwo-thirds majority
It was feared as one of the foundersof the American constitution acceptedin a piece in Federalist No 65 thatimpeachment will ignite political pas-sions harness animosities partialitiesand influence and divide the countryThe process might prove more harm-ful than any decision on innocence orguilt Alexander Hamilton was pre-scient Impeachment proceedings
have been launched against two Pres-idents mdash Andrew Johnson in 1868 andBill Clinton in 1998 The former tookover the presidency after the assassi-nation of President Abraham Lincolnduring the civil war in 1868 He is con-sidered a racist because he openlysupported the cause of White South-erners and opposed the civil rights ofliberated Afro-Americans He wasimpeached on a technical issue thatof vetoing a law passed by the Con-gress In the Senate his impeachmentwas defeated by one vote
Impeachment proceedings were ini-tiated against Clinton following alle-gations that he had lied to the SpecialProsecutor about his sexual relation-ship with a White House intern Hewas under oath The move failedbecause it could not secure a two-thirds majority in the Senate Clin-tonrsquos case is controversial expertsargue that a President cannot beimpeached for personal wrongdoingthat may not reflect on public affairs
The only President against whomimpeachment proceedings would havebeen successful is Richard Nixon Hehowever resigned within two years ofhis second term In July 1974 28 out of38 members of the House of Represen-
tatives judiciary committee voted toimpeach him Members of his own par-ty affirmed that they would voteagainst him On August 5 the prover-bial lsquosmoking gunrsquo established that hehad covered the break into the head-quarters of the Democratic Party atWatergate by his campaign committeeduring the 1972 presidential pollsNixon was aware that the Senate wouldvote for his dismissal He resigned Ifimpeachment had succeeded it wouldhave established the superiority of theCongress over the executive
Today Democrats have left no stoneunturned to impeach the President forserious abuse of power Trump tweetsconspiracy theories and appeals to hisconstituency He also threatens to findthe whistleblower These two extreme-ly irresponsible statements can possi-bly add to the list of offences chartedout in the Articles of Impeachment
Hamiltonrsquos foreboding thatimpeachment would divide popularopinion and split the country ratherthan successfully remove the Presi-dent from power has come true Everfaithful to their vocation survey agen-cies have rushed to the American peo-ple for their opinion the Presidentrsquosmen rush to television studios to pleadthat their boss is being victimised thePresident tweets that this is a conspir-acy and Democrats claim that a robustcase exists for impeaching Trump
Even if the House of Representa-tives votes for impeachment it isdebatable whether the move will passthe Senate which controlled by theRepublicans backs the President atleast to date More significantlyTrump has a significant base amongconservative voters and the ruralheartland On October 1 he tweeted anelectoral map dominated by his colourred mdash lsquoTry and impeach thisrsquo he chal-lenged Perceive the irony The pop-ulist leader scorns institutions andaddresses the lsquopeoplersquo Therefore hecan present himself as a casualty ofintrigues even though he is the mostpowerful man on earth Nothing workslike sentimental narratives of victim-hood Trump might emerge as a mar-tyr as a hostage of entrenched powernot quite smelling of roses but still

Stuck with plasticMass movement needed to reduce its use
THE government has finally woken up to the menace of single-useplastic though it has stopped short of announcing a blanket banSuch plastic commonly used for packaging and carrying goods
is disposable but its indiscriminate disposal has been wreaking havocon the environment Even as PM Narendra Modi is envisioning anIndia free of single-use plastic by 2022 the onus is on various stake-holders right from the industry to the consumer to decrease (andeventually stop) its consumption and popularise alternatives such aspaper and jute The prevailing economic slowdown and the prospectof more job losses have prevented the NDA government characteristi-cally not known for restraint and moderation from rushing into aknee-jerk decision As of now single-use plastic will not be allowedinside national monuments and within 100 metres of their boundary
The national focus on generating public awareness about the boon-turned-bane is a welcome move The imposition of bans and fines hasoften proved counter-productive due to lax enforcement and wide-spread non-cooperation Old habits die hard A behavioural change canhappen only if a mass movement sweeps the country It is imperativeto break the demand-and-supply cycle Himachal Pradesh has takenthe lead by deciding to buy-back non-recyclable plastic waste and sin-gle-use plastic at a minimum support price of Rs 75 per kg Such incen-tives can go a long way in curbing the availability of the eco-unfriendlymaterial Installing plastic disposal machines at railway stations andother public places is also a step in the right direction
Converting toxic waste into something productive is anotherchallenge Indian Oil Corporation plans to employ its refinery oper-ations to turn single-use plastic waste into specialised bitumen thatcan be utilised for the construction of roads and highways Moresuch out-of-the-box ideas are needed India can even draw inspira-tion from an unexpected quarter Rwanda According to a report ofthe UN Environment Programme the African country mdash once rav-aged by civil war and genocide mdash has become one of the cleanestcountries on the planet due to its proactive campaign against single-use plastic Where therersquos a will therersquos a plastic-free way
Congress a divided houseParty in disarray ahead of Haryana elections
NOTHING unites Congressmen more than the sight of electoralvictory while political wilderness brings to the fore bickeringin the rank and file The five years in opposition in Haryana
seem to have done the party little good with factionalism out in theopen Earlier it was state unit chief Ashok Tanwar who was in the fir-ing line after the party lost all 10 seats in the Lok Sabha elections Theroles have now been reversed with Tanwar training guns at former CMBhupinder Singh Hooda and state unit president Kumari Selja accus-ing them of selling the party ticket Tanwar took his fight to Delhiprotesting outside Sonia Gandhirsquos residence and asking to be relievedof all poll panels The rivalry spilled over after Selja was made thestate president and Hooda the chief of the election management com-mittee A video went viral allegedly to embarrass the party a daybefore Hooda is slated to file his nomination
Tanwar is known to be close to Rahul Gandhi and with the latter step-ping aside after the loss in the Lok Sabha elections his replacement wasonly a matter of time His fight for tickets for his loyalists is natural Butthe party apparently wishes to throw its weight behind the old guard tohave a go at the BJP in the Assembly elections
The Congress was known for strong regional satraps Like VirbhadraSingh in HP and Capt Amarinder Singh in Punjab the partyrsquos decisionprobably is dictated by the prospect of facing a resurgent BJP With Sel-ja in the saddle the Congress has tried to offset the possible loss of Dalitvotes by Tanwarrsquos replacement A lsquohuman bombrsquo cost Rajiv Gandhi hislife and Tanwar should be circumspect in using the term howeverinnocuous the context might be even as his grievance should be lookedinto His next course of action is awaited but the party itself should beseen as fighting the BJP and not amongst itself

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 4 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED
AT Chinarsquos National DayParade on October 1 the mili-tary might of the Peoplersquos Lib-eration Army (PLA) in full dis-
play was watched closely by the worldThe commander-in-chief of the PLA XiJinping inspected the parade which fea-tured 15000 troops 160 aircraft and 600pieces of equipment
What caught the attention of dis-cerning observers were the new mis-siles which are a part of the 2016-raised rocket force (PeoplersquosLiberation Army Rocket ForcePLARF) The Dongfeng DF-41 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)with a range of 15000 km travelling atseven km per second approximatespeed Mach 20 (Mach is the speed ofsound) and 500 meters accuracy theDongfeng DF-100 hypersonic cruisemissile and the Dongfeng DF-17medium range ballistic missile fittedwith Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)mdash DF-ZF mdash with a range of 2000 km
While western analysts focused onDF-41 ICBM which would play a crit-ical role in strategic counterbalancedeterrence and in winning war forIndia the DF-100 and DF-17 fittedwith HGV mdash DF-ZF mdash should be acause of concern Hypersonic mis-siles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this centurywhich would mdash between India andChina mdash replace nuclear deterrence
with non-nuclear deterrence reshapethe rules of conventional war-fight-ing and transform geopolitics Onlythree countries mdash the US Russia andChina mdash have made credible stridesin procuring harnessing and exploiting this technology
Hypersonic missiles are radically dif-ferent from ballistic and cruise missilesBallistic missiles boosted by powerfulrocket engines leave the atmosphere(the dividing altitude between atmos-phere and space is 100 km) to enterspace reach the apogee and then re-enter atmosphere to hit the designatedtarget These missiles follow a definedelliptical trajectory which helps theBallistic Missile Defence (BMD) sys-tem to intercept and neutralise theirwarhead before it causes damage TheUS since over four decades has invest-ed heavily in BMD systems Inspiredby it India too has invested in indige-nous BMD since 2000
Cruise missiles stay within theatmosphere fly at low altitude toevade ground-based radars and arepowered and guided throughout theflight in a defined near-flat trajectoryuntil its designated target Cruise mis-siles powered by air-breathing jetengines have sub-sonic speeds exceptIndiarsquos BrahMos missile which pow-ered by ramjet engine has a superson-ic speed of Mach 3 To defeat cruisemissiles there are technologies likethe Russian S-400 Air Defence MissileSystem (ADMS) amongst others
Hypersonic cruise missiles with twopeculiarities are a class apart Onethey have speed upwards of Mach 5 mdashtheir kinetic energy (derived frommotion) itself is enough to destroyhardened and underground facilities
Two they fly at low altitudes thoughhigher than cruise missiles and aredifficult to detect by terrestrial or
land-based radars because of theirability to change course rapidlyUnlike ballistic and cruise missileswhich follow a defined trajectoryhypersonic missiles are highlymanoeuvrable thereby giving very lit-tle reaction time to the opponent tojudge which target is being hit Thisdelayed detection makes timelyresponse extremely difficult
HGV are fitted on ballistic missilerocket engines like DF-17 DF-21 DF-26 and even DF-41 ICBM and boostedAfter a certain boost phase the HGVdetaches itself from the rocket andglides towards its target 2000 kmaway in a wayward rather than adefined low flight trajectory
Senior officials from Raytheon Com-pany of the US recently told thiswriter at an international air show thatmeeting the hypersonic cruise missilechallenge would require new sensorsfor early detection Since terrestrial
sensors alone would not work theneed would be to have a mix of space-based and terrestrial sensors Theentire hypersonic missile defencearchitecture they said would requirehuge investments patience technolo-gy and technical expertise
Given the new missilersquos characteris-tics the DF-100 and DF-17 with HGVin PLA inventory would be a powerfulasymmetric capability For instance itwould be a national humiliation if theHGV were to hit and destroy Indiarsquosaircraft carrier Since India mdash familiarwith PLArsquos nuclear weapons invento-ry mdash is unlikely to raise the stakesChinarsquos new deterrence as well as dis-ruptive war-fighting capability wouldreside in its useable non-nuclear HGVIndiarsquos nuclear weapons purportedlydelivered by its submarines Agniseries ballistic missiles and aircraftwould on the other hand be rendereduseless against China
Such a possibility deserves an urgentreview both of Indiarsquos nuclear deter-rence against China and the indigenousBMD which despite the infusion ofhuge funds has unfortunately notdemonstrated satisfactory results In2011 the then Defence Research andDevelopment Organisation (DRDO)chief VK Saraswat had spelt out thetimelines to this writer for the accom-plishment of the BMD programme Hehad said that by 2013 phase one of theproject which involved successful inter-ception of hostile missiles with 2000-kmrange would be achieved Phase two ofthe programme which required neutral-isation of 5000-km range ballistic mis-siles would be done by 2015 the sameyear when the ballistic missile shieldwould become available for impreg-nable defence of the capital city of Delhiand major metropolises The purchaseof five units or regiments of Russian S-400 ADMS in 2016 is evidence thatSaraswat was doing kite-flying
Even the military should take itsportion of the blame Many DRDO sci-entists have told me that the militaryleadership unable to find or under-stand operational employment ofhypersonic missiles has shown littleinterest in their presentations WithPLA having showcased these missilesthe Defence Minister ought to take thebull by the horns A way forward is toseek Russian cooperation through thesuccessful BrahMos supersonic cruisemissile programme Given that Brah-Mos is Indiarsquos most successfuldefence programme has consistentlymet its timelines has been acceptedby the three defence services and hasgenerated employment and wealth itcould be the ideal vehicle for thedevelopment of hypersonic cruisemissiles and strengthening bilateralrelations between India and Russia

THE world was taken by surpriseon September 14 when thelargest Saudi oil processingplant at Abqaiq was hit by a
lsquoswarmrsquo of around 25 drones and somecruise missiles launched by the Houthirebels in Yemen one of the poorestcountries in the world The attackscaused extensive damage to the plantknocking out 60 per cent of the Saudi oilproduction and triggering a 20 per centspike in oil prices And the worldrsquosattention was thus suddenly focused onYemen and the Houthis an Islamic Zai-di Shia political and armed movementwhich has been fighting a lsquoforgottenrsquowar against Saudi Arabia and the UAEfor more than four years
The Yemeni war began in March 2015when Saudi forces invaded the countryto intervene in what was essentially adomestic dispute between the Houthisand the government of PresidentAbdrabbuh Mansur Hadi The Saudisinvaded Yemen because they viewedthe Houthis as Iranian proxies both ofthem being Shia The Houthis defeatedthe forces loyal to Hadi and capturedSanarsquoa the countryrsquos capital in Sep-tember 2014 In January 2015 Hadiresigned and later fled to Saudi Arabiawhere he presently lives in exile
The Saudi decision to invade Yemenwas taken by Mohammad bin Salman(MbS) the present Crown Prince of Sau-di Arabia To attack Yemen the Saudismobilised a coalition that included theUAE Egypt Jordan Morocco SudanKuwait Qatar and Bahrain But essen-tially it was the Saudi and Emirati
forces that were involved in the inva-sion which was also supported by theUS and the UK They providedweapons logistical support and target-ing information to the Saudis
The Wahhabi Saudis wanted a gov-ernment in Yemen that was not con-trolled by the Zaidi Shia HouthisThey also wanted to control Yemenrsquosoil and a pipeline from their oilfieldsto a harbour in Yemen which wouldhave enabled them to avoid the Iran-dominated Strait of Hormuz
The Saudis and the Emiratis expecteda quick victory against the Houthis whowere a rag-tag bunch of fighters withoutan organised army or sophisticatedweapons However they were highlymotivated agile innovative and knew
the terrain well The Saudis and theEmiratis on the other hand were poorfighters accustomed to the comforts oflife They could not match the Houthison the ground and soon resorted toindiscriminate bombing from the airkilling thousands of civilians
According to reliable estimatesaround 2 lakh Yemenis have died in thefighting including 1 lakh childrenunder the age of five from famine and acholera epidemic On some occasionsinternational aid was prevented fromreaching the Yemeni people by blockad-ing of the ports by the Saudis and theirallies And notably the self-styled glob-al lsquocustodiansrsquo of human rights werecomplicit in this genocidal war For thisreason it became a lsquoforgottenrsquo war
receiving very little media coverage TheUnited Nations has called it the biggesthumanitarian crisis on the planet
However the situation began tochange in May 2019 when the Houthislaunched drone attacks against someSaudi oil facilities That was followedon August 17 by a multiple droneattack on Shaybah a massive Saudi oiland gas field which is around 1200 kmfrom Houthi-controlled territory inYemen The drone attacks demonstrat-ed the vulnerability of the Saudi oilinfrastructure to the attacks by theHouthis and the range of their dronesand missiles Neither the Saudis northe Americans currently have any mis-sile or air defence systems that canoffer protection against such attacks
It is clear that drones have been agame-changer in Yemen One experthas called them ldquothe most disruptivemilitary technology yet conceivedrdquoThey are cheap costing only a few mil-lion dollars compared to the Saudiarsenal costing hundreds of billions ofdollars The Houthis are now makingtheir own drones based on Iraniandesigns and technical advice They arealso probably importing drones andcruise missiles from Iran
The Saudis have suffered anotherreversal in Yemen Their major ally theUAE pulled out of the war a few monthsago when the port of Aden in the Southfell to the Southern Transitional Coun-cil a separatist group backed by theUAE This has infuriated the Saudis butthey have not been able to do much
The Saudis and the Americans have
blamed Iran for the September 14attack on Abqaiq instead of the Houthiswho have claimed responsibility for itIran has denied any role in the attackThe US is unlikely to attack Iran but ifit does it could set the whole regionon fire That could adversely affectalmost seven million people of Indianorigin who work in the Gulf and remitbillions of dollars to India
On September 20 the US announcedthat it was sending troops and more mis-sile defence systems such as Patriot andTHAAD (Terminal High Altitude AreaDefence ) to Saudi Arabia However theyare unlikely to be effective against low-flying drones which can only be stoppedby short-range Russian systems such asPantsyr-S1 and the BUK-2 which theRussians have used to defend their basein Syria against similar attacks
On September 28 the Houthis dealtanother blow to the Saudis by launch-ing a ground attack within Saudi terri-tory near Najran in which three Saudibrigades were defeated and hundredsof soldiers were either killed woundedor captured The operation demonstrat-ed that Saudi Arabia was vulnerable toair and ground attack by the Houthis
The asymmetrical warfare fought bythe Houthis appears to have broughtSaudi Arabia to its knees The WallStreet Journal reported on August 28that the Trump administration waspreparing to initiate negotiations withthe Houthis to end the war in Yemen Itremains to be seen when or if that hap-pens But one thing is clear The war inYemen is no longer lsquoforgottenrsquo

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them

TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

Ahead of the meeting theDas-headed Financial Stabil-ity and Development Council(FSDC) sub-committee tookstock of the prevailing macro-economic situation
Earlier the RBI Governorhad said the government hadlittle fiscal space giving hopethat the bank may providemore monetary stimulus toprop up the economy The gov-ernmentrsquos fiscal space hasbeen squeezed on account ofcut in the rates of corporate taxas well as lowering of the GSTrate on various goods Rev-enue collection too has beenbelow the Budget estimates

evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

Ross also made it clear thatdespite its reservations aboutthe security aspect the US
was not trying to force India towalk away from 5G technolo-gy by Chinese companies

POLITICAL SCIENTIST
SUBSTANTIAL parts of ourworld have been captured byright-wing populists and inter-estingly all such leaders have a
great deal in common One they con-temptuously dismiss institutions asembodiments of privilege a nuisanceat best and irrelevant at worst Twopopulists forge a national constituencyunmediated by institutions organisa-tions or the opposition Three theyrepresent themselves as targets of con-spiracies fashioned by an elite that hasbecome corrupt moribund and irrele-vant Four populist leaders refuse toplay by rules of the game Whether it isTrump or Modi they have no hesita-tion in uttering statements that theirpredecessors would deem improperThey are simply unpredictable
President Trump is the quintessen-tial populist leader he disdains politi-cal proprieties His presidency hasbeen ridden by controversy since dayone random dismissal of importantofficials wilful decisions and opendistribution of benefits to his ownfamily Ever since the Democrats tookover the House of Representatives inJanuary 2019 the Congress has beenpulverised The Republican-con-trolled Senate has blocked every pieceof progressive legislation passed bythe House It is not therefore surpris-ing that in September the Speaker ofthe House of Representatives NancyPelosi announced that an impeach-ment inquiry would be initiatedagainst the President He had report-edly requested his counterpart in theUkraine to lsquodig up dirtrsquo on Joe Bidena possible Democrat contender for the2020 presidential elections Does ask-ing a foreign power to intervene inelections warrant impeachment
Historians suggest that members of
the Constitutional Convention that metin Philadelphia in 1787 to draw up theAmerican constitution were unhappywith the authority vested in the Presi-dent In accordance with doctrines ofchecks and balances the Congress wasgiven the power to impeach the Presi-dent in cases of lsquotreason bribery or oth-er high crimes and misdemeanorsrsquoThis provision which was in keepingwith the spirit of British constitutionaland legal practice is not meant to pun-ish the incumbent of the White Housemerely to remove him from office Theprocess is cumbersome The House ofRepresentatives has to pass Articles ofImpeachment or a list of charges by amajority vote The case then goes to theSenate which is convened as a judici-ary to hear arguments from both sidesThe removal of the President requires atwo-thirds majority
It was feared as one of the foundersof the American constitution acceptedin a piece in Federalist No 65 thatimpeachment will ignite political pas-sions harness animosities partialitiesand influence and divide the countryThe process might prove more harm-ful than any decision on innocence orguilt Alexander Hamilton was pre-scient Impeachment proceedings
have been launched against two Pres-idents mdash Andrew Johnson in 1868 andBill Clinton in 1998 The former tookover the presidency after the assassi-nation of President Abraham Lincolnduring the civil war in 1868 He is con-sidered a racist because he openlysupported the cause of White South-erners and opposed the civil rights ofliberated Afro-Americans He wasimpeached on a technical issue thatof vetoing a law passed by the Con-gress In the Senate his impeachmentwas defeated by one vote
Impeachment proceedings were ini-tiated against Clinton following alle-gations that he had lied to the SpecialProsecutor about his sexual relation-ship with a White House intern Hewas under oath The move failedbecause it could not secure a two-thirds majority in the Senate Clin-tonrsquos case is controversial expertsargue that a President cannot beimpeached for personal wrongdoingthat may not reflect on public affairs
The only President against whomimpeachment proceedings would havebeen successful is Richard Nixon Hehowever resigned within two years ofhis second term In July 1974 28 out of38 members of the House of Represen-
tatives judiciary committee voted toimpeach him Members of his own par-ty affirmed that they would voteagainst him On August 5 the prover-bial lsquosmoking gunrsquo established that hehad covered the break into the head-quarters of the Democratic Party atWatergate by his campaign committeeduring the 1972 presidential pollsNixon was aware that the Senate wouldvote for his dismissal He resigned Ifimpeachment had succeeded it wouldhave established the superiority of theCongress over the executive
Today Democrats have left no stoneunturned to impeach the President forserious abuse of power Trump tweetsconspiracy theories and appeals to hisconstituency He also threatens to findthe whistleblower These two extreme-ly irresponsible statements can possi-bly add to the list of offences chartedout in the Articles of Impeachment
Hamiltonrsquos foreboding thatimpeachment would divide popularopinion and split the country ratherthan successfully remove the Presi-dent from power has come true Everfaithful to their vocation survey agen-cies have rushed to the American peo-ple for their opinion the Presidentrsquosmen rush to television studios to pleadthat their boss is being victimised thePresident tweets that this is a conspir-acy and Democrats claim that a robustcase exists for impeaching Trump
Even if the House of Representa-tives votes for impeachment it isdebatable whether the move will passthe Senate which controlled by theRepublicans backs the President atleast to date More significantlyTrump has a significant base amongconservative voters and the ruralheartland On October 1 he tweeted anelectoral map dominated by his colourred mdash lsquoTry and impeach thisrsquo he chal-lenged Perceive the irony The pop-ulist leader scorns institutions andaddresses the lsquopeoplersquo Therefore hecan present himself as a casualty ofintrigues even though he is the mostpowerful man on earth Nothing workslike sentimental narratives of victim-hood Trump might emerge as a mar-tyr as a hostage of entrenched powernot quite smelling of roses but still

Stuck with plasticMass movement needed to reduce its use
THE government has finally woken up to the menace of single-useplastic though it has stopped short of announcing a blanket banSuch plastic commonly used for packaging and carrying goods
is disposable but its indiscriminate disposal has been wreaking havocon the environment Even as PM Narendra Modi is envisioning anIndia free of single-use plastic by 2022 the onus is on various stake-holders right from the industry to the consumer to decrease (andeventually stop) its consumption and popularise alternatives such aspaper and jute The prevailing economic slowdown and the prospectof more job losses have prevented the NDA government characteristi-cally not known for restraint and moderation from rushing into aknee-jerk decision As of now single-use plastic will not be allowedinside national monuments and within 100 metres of their boundary
The national focus on generating public awareness about the boon-turned-bane is a welcome move The imposition of bans and fines hasoften proved counter-productive due to lax enforcement and wide-spread non-cooperation Old habits die hard A behavioural change canhappen only if a mass movement sweeps the country It is imperativeto break the demand-and-supply cycle Himachal Pradesh has takenthe lead by deciding to buy-back non-recyclable plastic waste and sin-gle-use plastic at a minimum support price of Rs 75 per kg Such incen-tives can go a long way in curbing the availability of the eco-unfriendlymaterial Installing plastic disposal machines at railway stations andother public places is also a step in the right direction
Converting toxic waste into something productive is anotherchallenge Indian Oil Corporation plans to employ its refinery oper-ations to turn single-use plastic waste into specialised bitumen thatcan be utilised for the construction of roads and highways Moresuch out-of-the-box ideas are needed India can even draw inspira-tion from an unexpected quarter Rwanda According to a report ofthe UN Environment Programme the African country mdash once rav-aged by civil war and genocide mdash has become one of the cleanestcountries on the planet due to its proactive campaign against single-use plastic Where therersquos a will therersquos a plastic-free way
Congress a divided houseParty in disarray ahead of Haryana elections
NOTHING unites Congressmen more than the sight of electoralvictory while political wilderness brings to the fore bickeringin the rank and file The five years in opposition in Haryana
seem to have done the party little good with factionalism out in theopen Earlier it was state unit chief Ashok Tanwar who was in the fir-ing line after the party lost all 10 seats in the Lok Sabha elections Theroles have now been reversed with Tanwar training guns at former CMBhupinder Singh Hooda and state unit president Kumari Selja accus-ing them of selling the party ticket Tanwar took his fight to Delhiprotesting outside Sonia Gandhirsquos residence and asking to be relievedof all poll panels The rivalry spilled over after Selja was made thestate president and Hooda the chief of the election management com-mittee A video went viral allegedly to embarrass the party a daybefore Hooda is slated to file his nomination
Tanwar is known to be close to Rahul Gandhi and with the latter step-ping aside after the loss in the Lok Sabha elections his replacement wasonly a matter of time His fight for tickets for his loyalists is natural Butthe party apparently wishes to throw its weight behind the old guard tohave a go at the BJP in the Assembly elections
The Congress was known for strong regional satraps Like VirbhadraSingh in HP and Capt Amarinder Singh in Punjab the partyrsquos decisionprobably is dictated by the prospect of facing a resurgent BJP With Sel-ja in the saddle the Congress has tried to offset the possible loss of Dalitvotes by Tanwarrsquos replacement A lsquohuman bombrsquo cost Rajiv Gandhi hislife and Tanwar should be circumspect in using the term howeverinnocuous the context might be even as his grievance should be lookedinto His next course of action is awaited but the party itself should beseen as fighting the BJP and not amongst itself

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 4 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED
AT Chinarsquos National DayParade on October 1 the mili-tary might of the Peoplersquos Lib-eration Army (PLA) in full dis-
play was watched closely by the worldThe commander-in-chief of the PLA XiJinping inspected the parade which fea-tured 15000 troops 160 aircraft and 600pieces of equipment
What caught the attention of dis-cerning observers were the new mis-siles which are a part of the 2016-raised rocket force (PeoplersquosLiberation Army Rocket ForcePLARF) The Dongfeng DF-41 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)with a range of 15000 km travelling atseven km per second approximatespeed Mach 20 (Mach is the speed ofsound) and 500 meters accuracy theDongfeng DF-100 hypersonic cruisemissile and the Dongfeng DF-17medium range ballistic missile fittedwith Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)mdash DF-ZF mdash with a range of 2000 km
While western analysts focused onDF-41 ICBM which would play a crit-ical role in strategic counterbalancedeterrence and in winning war forIndia the DF-100 and DF-17 fittedwith HGV mdash DF-ZF mdash should be acause of concern Hypersonic mis-siles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this centurywhich would mdash between India andChina mdash replace nuclear deterrence
with non-nuclear deterrence reshapethe rules of conventional war-fight-ing and transform geopolitics Onlythree countries mdash the US Russia andChina mdash have made credible stridesin procuring harnessing and exploiting this technology
Hypersonic missiles are radically dif-ferent from ballistic and cruise missilesBallistic missiles boosted by powerfulrocket engines leave the atmosphere(the dividing altitude between atmos-phere and space is 100 km) to enterspace reach the apogee and then re-enter atmosphere to hit the designatedtarget These missiles follow a definedelliptical trajectory which helps theBallistic Missile Defence (BMD) sys-tem to intercept and neutralise theirwarhead before it causes damage TheUS since over four decades has invest-ed heavily in BMD systems Inspiredby it India too has invested in indige-nous BMD since 2000
Cruise missiles stay within theatmosphere fly at low altitude toevade ground-based radars and arepowered and guided throughout theflight in a defined near-flat trajectoryuntil its designated target Cruise mis-siles powered by air-breathing jetengines have sub-sonic speeds exceptIndiarsquos BrahMos missile which pow-ered by ramjet engine has a superson-ic speed of Mach 3 To defeat cruisemissiles there are technologies likethe Russian S-400 Air Defence MissileSystem (ADMS) amongst others
Hypersonic cruise missiles with twopeculiarities are a class apart Onethey have speed upwards of Mach 5 mdashtheir kinetic energy (derived frommotion) itself is enough to destroyhardened and underground facilities
Two they fly at low altitudes thoughhigher than cruise missiles and aredifficult to detect by terrestrial or
land-based radars because of theirability to change course rapidlyUnlike ballistic and cruise missileswhich follow a defined trajectoryhypersonic missiles are highlymanoeuvrable thereby giving very lit-tle reaction time to the opponent tojudge which target is being hit Thisdelayed detection makes timelyresponse extremely difficult
HGV are fitted on ballistic missilerocket engines like DF-17 DF-21 DF-26 and even DF-41 ICBM and boostedAfter a certain boost phase the HGVdetaches itself from the rocket andglides towards its target 2000 kmaway in a wayward rather than adefined low flight trajectory
Senior officials from Raytheon Com-pany of the US recently told thiswriter at an international air show thatmeeting the hypersonic cruise missilechallenge would require new sensorsfor early detection Since terrestrial
sensors alone would not work theneed would be to have a mix of space-based and terrestrial sensors Theentire hypersonic missile defencearchitecture they said would requirehuge investments patience technolo-gy and technical expertise
Given the new missilersquos characteris-tics the DF-100 and DF-17 with HGVin PLA inventory would be a powerfulasymmetric capability For instance itwould be a national humiliation if theHGV were to hit and destroy Indiarsquosaircraft carrier Since India mdash familiarwith PLArsquos nuclear weapons invento-ry mdash is unlikely to raise the stakesChinarsquos new deterrence as well as dis-ruptive war-fighting capability wouldreside in its useable non-nuclear HGVIndiarsquos nuclear weapons purportedlydelivered by its submarines Agniseries ballistic missiles and aircraftwould on the other hand be rendereduseless against China
Such a possibility deserves an urgentreview both of Indiarsquos nuclear deter-rence against China and the indigenousBMD which despite the infusion ofhuge funds has unfortunately notdemonstrated satisfactory results In2011 the then Defence Research andDevelopment Organisation (DRDO)chief VK Saraswat had spelt out thetimelines to this writer for the accom-plishment of the BMD programme Hehad said that by 2013 phase one of theproject which involved successful inter-ception of hostile missiles with 2000-kmrange would be achieved Phase two ofthe programme which required neutral-isation of 5000-km range ballistic mis-siles would be done by 2015 the sameyear when the ballistic missile shieldwould become available for impreg-nable defence of the capital city of Delhiand major metropolises The purchaseof five units or regiments of Russian S-400 ADMS in 2016 is evidence thatSaraswat was doing kite-flying
Even the military should take itsportion of the blame Many DRDO sci-entists have told me that the militaryleadership unable to find or under-stand operational employment ofhypersonic missiles has shown littleinterest in their presentations WithPLA having showcased these missilesthe Defence Minister ought to take thebull by the horns A way forward is toseek Russian cooperation through thesuccessful BrahMos supersonic cruisemissile programme Given that Brah-Mos is Indiarsquos most successfuldefence programme has consistentlymet its timelines has been acceptedby the three defence services and hasgenerated employment and wealth itcould be the ideal vehicle for thedevelopment of hypersonic cruisemissiles and strengthening bilateralrelations between India and Russia

THE world was taken by surpriseon September 14 when thelargest Saudi oil processingplant at Abqaiq was hit by a
lsquoswarmrsquo of around 25 drones and somecruise missiles launched by the Houthirebels in Yemen one of the poorestcountries in the world The attackscaused extensive damage to the plantknocking out 60 per cent of the Saudi oilproduction and triggering a 20 per centspike in oil prices And the worldrsquosattention was thus suddenly focused onYemen and the Houthis an Islamic Zai-di Shia political and armed movementwhich has been fighting a lsquoforgottenrsquowar against Saudi Arabia and the UAEfor more than four years
The Yemeni war began in March 2015when Saudi forces invaded the countryto intervene in what was essentially adomestic dispute between the Houthisand the government of PresidentAbdrabbuh Mansur Hadi The Saudisinvaded Yemen because they viewedthe Houthis as Iranian proxies both ofthem being Shia The Houthis defeatedthe forces loyal to Hadi and capturedSanarsquoa the countryrsquos capital in Sep-tember 2014 In January 2015 Hadiresigned and later fled to Saudi Arabiawhere he presently lives in exile
The Saudi decision to invade Yemenwas taken by Mohammad bin Salman(MbS) the present Crown Prince of Sau-di Arabia To attack Yemen the Saudismobilised a coalition that included theUAE Egypt Jordan Morocco SudanKuwait Qatar and Bahrain But essen-tially it was the Saudi and Emirati
forces that were involved in the inva-sion which was also supported by theUS and the UK They providedweapons logistical support and target-ing information to the Saudis
The Wahhabi Saudis wanted a gov-ernment in Yemen that was not con-trolled by the Zaidi Shia HouthisThey also wanted to control Yemenrsquosoil and a pipeline from their oilfieldsto a harbour in Yemen which wouldhave enabled them to avoid the Iran-dominated Strait of Hormuz
The Saudis and the Emiratis expecteda quick victory against the Houthis whowere a rag-tag bunch of fighters withoutan organised army or sophisticatedweapons However they were highlymotivated agile innovative and knew
the terrain well The Saudis and theEmiratis on the other hand were poorfighters accustomed to the comforts oflife They could not match the Houthison the ground and soon resorted toindiscriminate bombing from the airkilling thousands of civilians
According to reliable estimatesaround 2 lakh Yemenis have died in thefighting including 1 lakh childrenunder the age of five from famine and acholera epidemic On some occasionsinternational aid was prevented fromreaching the Yemeni people by blockad-ing of the ports by the Saudis and theirallies And notably the self-styled glob-al lsquocustodiansrsquo of human rights werecomplicit in this genocidal war For thisreason it became a lsquoforgottenrsquo war
receiving very little media coverage TheUnited Nations has called it the biggesthumanitarian crisis on the planet
However the situation began tochange in May 2019 when the Houthislaunched drone attacks against someSaudi oil facilities That was followedon August 17 by a multiple droneattack on Shaybah a massive Saudi oiland gas field which is around 1200 kmfrom Houthi-controlled territory inYemen The drone attacks demonstrat-ed the vulnerability of the Saudi oilinfrastructure to the attacks by theHouthis and the range of their dronesand missiles Neither the Saudis northe Americans currently have any mis-sile or air defence systems that canoffer protection against such attacks
It is clear that drones have been agame-changer in Yemen One experthas called them ldquothe most disruptivemilitary technology yet conceivedrdquoThey are cheap costing only a few mil-lion dollars compared to the Saudiarsenal costing hundreds of billions ofdollars The Houthis are now makingtheir own drones based on Iraniandesigns and technical advice They arealso probably importing drones andcruise missiles from Iran
The Saudis have suffered anotherreversal in Yemen Their major ally theUAE pulled out of the war a few monthsago when the port of Aden in the Southfell to the Southern Transitional Coun-cil a separatist group backed by theUAE This has infuriated the Saudis butthey have not been able to do much
The Saudis and the Americans have
blamed Iran for the September 14attack on Abqaiq instead of the Houthiswho have claimed responsibility for itIran has denied any role in the attackThe US is unlikely to attack Iran but ifit does it could set the whole regionon fire That could adversely affectalmost seven million people of Indianorigin who work in the Gulf and remitbillions of dollars to India
On September 20 the US announcedthat it was sending troops and more mis-sile defence systems such as Patriot andTHAAD (Terminal High Altitude AreaDefence ) to Saudi Arabia However theyare unlikely to be effective against low-flying drones which can only be stoppedby short-range Russian systems such asPantsyr-S1 and the BUK-2 which theRussians have used to defend their basein Syria against similar attacks
On September 28 the Houthis dealtanother blow to the Saudis by launch-ing a ground attack within Saudi terri-tory near Najran in which three Saudibrigades were defeated and hundredsof soldiers were either killed woundedor captured The operation demonstrat-ed that Saudi Arabia was vulnerable toair and ground attack by the Houthis
The asymmetrical warfare fought bythe Houthis appears to have broughtSaudi Arabia to its knees The WallStreet Journal reported on August 28that the Trump administration waspreparing to initiate negotiations withthe Houthis to end the war in Yemen Itremains to be seen when or if that hap-pens But one thing is clear The war inYemen is no longer lsquoforgottenrsquo

The Houthis an IslamicZaidi Shia political and
armed movement active inYemen have been fightinga war against Saudi Arabiaand the UAE for more thanfour years The Saudis and

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them
lsquoWe saved our land from catastrophersquo
TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

At its last meeting in Augustthe MPC reduced the bench-mark lending rate by anunusual 35 basis points to 540per cent The upcoming MPCmeeting comes in the backdropof RBIrsquos mandate to banks to
link their loan products to anexternal benchmark like reporate for the faster transmissionof reduction in policy rates toborrowers from October 1
Ahead of the meeting theDas-headed Financial Stabil-ity and Development Council(FSDC) sub-committee tookstock of the prevailing macro-economic situation
Earlier the RBI Governorhad said the government hadlittle fiscal space giving hopethat the bank may providemore monetary stimulus toprop up the economy The gov-ernmentrsquos fiscal space hasbeen squeezed on account ofcut in the rates of corporate taxas well as lowering of the GSTrate on various goods Rev-enue collection too has beenbelow the Budget estimates
Experts are of the opinionthat another rate cut is on thecards as the governmentrsquoshands are tied and the onusof taking initiatives now restswith the central bank mdash PTI

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

Ross also made it clear thatdespite its reservations aboutthe security aspect the US
was not trying to force India towalk away from 5G technolo-gy by Chinese companies
Speaking on the sidelines ofan international meet that wasalso attended by Ross Com-merce Minister Piyush Goyalruled out any change in Indiarsquos

Guru Nanak preached simplicity andlaid emphasis on observing honesty inwhatever one does He was not in
favour of any ostentatious show Heworked for the poor and underprivi-leged He was all for education whichhe thought would help one to be ofsome use to others (vidya veechari tanparupkari) Can our leaders both polit-ical and religious think of doing some-thing more meaningful forhumankind Can we think of opening550 hospitals 550 schools and collegesand an equal number of de-addictioncentres to save our youth and guidethem to live a purposeful life AkalTakht is the highest temporal seat ofthe Sikhs and any verdict issued fromthere is binding on the Sikh communi-ty It should issue certain diktats to takesociety out of perennial social evils

POLITICAL SCIENTIST
SUBSTANTIAL parts of ourworld have been captured byright-wing populists and inter-estingly all such leaders have a
great deal in common One they con-temptuously dismiss institutions asembodiments of privilege a nuisanceat best and irrelevant at worst Twopopulists forge a national constituencyunmediated by institutions organisa-tions or the opposition Three theyrepresent themselves as targets of con-spiracies fashioned by an elite that hasbecome corrupt moribund and irrele-vant Four populist leaders refuse toplay by rules of the game Whether it isTrump or Modi they have no hesita-tion in uttering statements that theirpredecessors would deem improperThey are simply unpredictable
President Trump is the quintessen-tial populist leader he disdains politi-cal proprieties His presidency hasbeen ridden by controversy since dayone random dismissal of importantofficials wilful decisions and opendistribution of benefits to his ownfamily Ever since the Democrats tookover the House of Representatives inJanuary 2019 the Congress has beenpulverised The Republican-con-trolled Senate has blocked every pieceof progressive legislation passed bythe House It is not therefore surpris-ing that in September the Speaker ofthe House of Representatives NancyPelosi announced that an impeach-ment inquiry would be initiatedagainst the President He had report-edly requested his counterpart in theUkraine to lsquodig up dirtrsquo on Joe Bidena possible Democrat contender for the2020 presidential elections Does ask-ing a foreign power to intervene inelections warrant impeachment
Historians suggest that members of
the Constitutional Convention that metin Philadelphia in 1787 to draw up theAmerican constitution were unhappywith the authority vested in the Presi-dent In accordance with doctrines ofchecks and balances the Congress wasgiven the power to impeach the Presi-dent in cases of lsquotreason bribery or oth-er high crimes and misdemeanorsrsquoThis provision which was in keepingwith the spirit of British constitutionaland legal practice is not meant to pun-ish the incumbent of the White Housemerely to remove him from office Theprocess is cumbersome The House ofRepresentatives has to pass Articles ofImpeachment or a list of charges by amajority vote The case then goes to theSenate which is convened as a judici-ary to hear arguments from both sidesThe removal of the President requires atwo-thirds majority
It was feared as one of the foundersof the American constitution acceptedin a piece in Federalist No 65 thatimpeachment will ignite political pas-sions harness animosities partialitiesand influence and divide the countryThe process might prove more harm-ful than any decision on innocence orguilt Alexander Hamilton was pre-scient Impeachment proceedings
have been launched against two Pres-idents mdash Andrew Johnson in 1868 andBill Clinton in 1998 The former tookover the presidency after the assassi-nation of President Abraham Lincolnduring the civil war in 1868 He is con-sidered a racist because he openlysupported the cause of White South-erners and opposed the civil rights ofliberated Afro-Americans He wasimpeached on a technical issue thatof vetoing a law passed by the Con-gress In the Senate his impeachmentwas defeated by one vote
Impeachment proceedings were ini-tiated against Clinton following alle-gations that he had lied to the SpecialProsecutor about his sexual relation-ship with a White House intern Hewas under oath The move failedbecause it could not secure a two-thirds majority in the Senate Clin-tonrsquos case is controversial expertsargue that a President cannot beimpeached for personal wrongdoingthat may not reflect on public affairs
The only President against whomimpeachment proceedings would havebeen successful is Richard Nixon Hehowever resigned within two years ofhis second term In July 1974 28 out of38 members of the House of Represen-
tatives judiciary committee voted toimpeach him Members of his own par-ty affirmed that they would voteagainst him On August 5 the prover-bial lsquosmoking gunrsquo established that hehad covered the break into the head-quarters of the Democratic Party atWatergate by his campaign committeeduring the 1972 presidential pollsNixon was aware that the Senate wouldvote for his dismissal He resigned Ifimpeachment had succeeded it wouldhave established the superiority of theCongress over the executive
Today Democrats have left no stoneunturned to impeach the President forserious abuse of power Trump tweetsconspiracy theories and appeals to hisconstituency He also threatens to findthe whistleblower These two extreme-ly irresponsible statements can possi-bly add to the list of offences chartedout in the Articles of Impeachment
Hamiltonrsquos foreboding thatimpeachment would divide popularopinion and split the country ratherthan successfully remove the Presi-dent from power has come true Everfaithful to their vocation survey agen-cies have rushed to the American peo-ple for their opinion the Presidentrsquosmen rush to television studios to pleadthat their boss is being victimised thePresident tweets that this is a conspir-acy and Democrats claim that a robustcase exists for impeaching Trump
Even if the House of Representa-tives votes for impeachment it isdebatable whether the move will passthe Senate which controlled by theRepublicans backs the President atleast to date More significantlyTrump has a significant base amongconservative voters and the ruralheartland On October 1 he tweeted anelectoral map dominated by his colourred mdash lsquoTry and impeach thisrsquo he chal-lenged Perceive the irony The pop-ulist leader scorns institutions andaddresses the lsquopeoplersquo Therefore hecan present himself as a casualty ofintrigues even though he is the mostpowerful man on earth Nothing workslike sentimental narratives of victim-hood Trump might emerge as a mar-tyr as a hostage of entrenched powernot quite smelling of roses but still

Stuck with plasticMass movement needed to reduce its use
THE government has finally woken up to the menace of single-useplastic though it has stopped short of announcing a blanket banSuch plastic commonly used for packaging and carrying goods
is disposable but its indiscriminate disposal has been wreaking havocon the environment Even as PM Narendra Modi is envisioning anIndia free of single-use plastic by 2022 the onus is on various stake-holders right from the industry to the consumer to decrease (andeventually stop) its consumption and popularise alternatives such aspaper and jute The prevailing economic slowdown and the prospectof more job losses have prevented the NDA government characteristi-cally not known for restraint and moderation from rushing into aknee-jerk decision As of now single-use plastic will not be allowedinside national monuments and within 100 metres of their boundary
The national focus on generating public awareness about the boon-turned-bane is a welcome move The imposition of bans and fines hasoften proved counter-productive due to lax enforcement and wide-spread non-cooperation Old habits die hard A behavioural change canhappen only if a mass movement sweeps the country It is imperativeto break the demand-and-supply cycle Himachal Pradesh has takenthe lead by deciding to buy-back non-recyclable plastic waste and sin-gle-use plastic at a minimum support price of Rs 75 per kg Such incen-tives can go a long way in curbing the availability of the eco-unfriendlymaterial Installing plastic disposal machines at railway stations andother public places is also a step in the right direction
Converting toxic waste into something productive is anotherchallenge Indian Oil Corporation plans to employ its refinery oper-ations to turn single-use plastic waste into specialised bitumen thatcan be utilised for the construction of roads and highways Moresuch out-of-the-box ideas are needed India can even draw inspira-tion from an unexpected quarter Rwanda According to a report ofthe UN Environment Programme the African country mdash once rav-aged by civil war and genocide mdash has become one of the cleanestcountries on the planet due to its proactive campaign against single-use plastic Where therersquos a will therersquos a plastic-free way
Congress a divided houseParty in disarray ahead of Haryana elections
NOTHING unites Congressmen more than the sight of electoralvictory while political wilderness brings to the fore bickeringin the rank and file The five years in opposition in Haryana
seem to have done the party little good with factionalism out in theopen Earlier it was state unit chief Ashok Tanwar who was in the fir-ing line after the party lost all 10 seats in the Lok Sabha elections Theroles have now been reversed with Tanwar training guns at former CMBhupinder Singh Hooda and state unit president Kumari Selja accus-ing them of selling the party ticket Tanwar took his fight to Delhiprotesting outside Sonia Gandhirsquos residence and asking to be relievedof all poll panels The rivalry spilled over after Selja was made thestate president and Hooda the chief of the election management com-mittee A video went viral allegedly to embarrass the party a daybefore Hooda is slated to file his nomination
Tanwar is known to be close to Rahul Gandhi and with the latter step-ping aside after the loss in the Lok Sabha elections his replacement wasonly a matter of time His fight for tickets for his loyalists is natural Butthe party apparently wishes to throw its weight behind the old guard tohave a go at the BJP in the Assembly elections
The Congress was known for strong regional satraps Like VirbhadraSingh in HP and Capt Amarinder Singh in Punjab the partyrsquos decisionprobably is dictated by the prospect of facing a resurgent BJP With Sel-ja in the saddle the Congress has tried to offset the possible loss of Dalitvotes by Tanwarrsquos replacement A lsquohuman bombrsquo cost Rajiv Gandhi hislife and Tanwar should be circumspect in using the term howeverinnocuous the context might be even as his grievance should be lookedinto His next course of action is awaited but the party itself should beseen as fighting the BJP and not amongst itself

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 4 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED
AT Chinarsquos National DayParade on October 1 the mili-tary might of the Peoplersquos Lib-eration Army (PLA) in full dis-
play was watched closely by the worldThe commander-in-chief of the PLA XiJinping inspected the parade which fea-tured 15000 troops 160 aircraft and 600pieces of equipment
What caught the attention of dis-cerning observers were the new mis-siles which are a part of the 2016-raised rocket force (PeoplersquosLiberation Army Rocket ForcePLARF) The Dongfeng DF-41 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)with a range of 15000 km travelling atseven km per second approximatespeed Mach 20 (Mach is the speed ofsound) and 500 meters accuracy theDongfeng DF-100 hypersonic cruisemissile and the Dongfeng DF-17medium range ballistic missile fittedwith Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)mdash DF-ZF mdash with a range of 2000 km
While western analysts focused onDF-41 ICBM which would play a crit-ical role in strategic counterbalancedeterrence and in winning war forIndia the DF-100 and DF-17 fittedwith HGV mdash DF-ZF mdash should be acause of concern Hypersonic mis-siles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this centurywhich would mdash between India andChina mdash replace nuclear deterrence
with non-nuclear deterrence reshapethe rules of conventional war-fight-ing and transform geopolitics Onlythree countries mdash the US Russia andChina mdash have made credible stridesin procuring harnessing and exploiting this technology
Hypersonic missiles are radically dif-ferent from ballistic and cruise missilesBallistic missiles boosted by powerfulrocket engines leave the atmosphere(the dividing altitude between atmos-phere and space is 100 km) to enterspace reach the apogee and then re-enter atmosphere to hit the designatedtarget These missiles follow a definedelliptical trajectory which helps theBallistic Missile Defence (BMD) sys-tem to intercept and neutralise theirwarhead before it causes damage TheUS since over four decades has invest-ed heavily in BMD systems Inspiredby it India too has invested in indige-nous BMD since 2000
Cruise missiles stay within theatmosphere fly at low altitude toevade ground-based radars and arepowered and guided throughout theflight in a defined near-flat trajectoryuntil its designated target Cruise mis-siles powered by air-breathing jetengines have sub-sonic speeds exceptIndiarsquos BrahMos missile which pow-ered by ramjet engine has a superson-ic speed of Mach 3 To defeat cruisemissiles there are technologies likethe Russian S-400 Air Defence MissileSystem (ADMS) amongst others
Hypersonic cruise missiles with twopeculiarities are a class apart Onethey have speed upwards of Mach 5 mdashtheir kinetic energy (derived frommotion) itself is enough to destroyhardened and underground facilities
Two they fly at low altitudes thoughhigher than cruise missiles and aredifficult to detect by terrestrial or
land-based radars because of theirability to change course rapidlyUnlike ballistic and cruise missileswhich follow a defined trajectoryhypersonic missiles are highlymanoeuvrable thereby giving very lit-tle reaction time to the opponent tojudge which target is being hit Thisdelayed detection makes timelyresponse extremely difficult
HGV are fitted on ballistic missilerocket engines like DF-17 DF-21 DF-26 and even DF-41 ICBM and boostedAfter a certain boost phase the HGVdetaches itself from the rocket andglides towards its target 2000 kmaway in a wayward rather than adefined low flight trajectory
Senior officials from Raytheon Com-pany of the US recently told thiswriter at an international air show thatmeeting the hypersonic cruise missilechallenge would require new sensorsfor early detection Since terrestrial
sensors alone would not work theneed would be to have a mix of space-based and terrestrial sensors Theentire hypersonic missile defencearchitecture they said would requirehuge investments patience technolo-gy and technical expertise
Given the new missilersquos characteris-tics the DF-100 and DF-17 with HGVin PLA inventory would be a powerfulasymmetric capability For instance itwould be a national humiliation if theHGV were to hit and destroy Indiarsquosaircraft carrier Since India mdash familiarwith PLArsquos nuclear weapons invento-ry mdash is unlikely to raise the stakesChinarsquos new deterrence as well as dis-ruptive war-fighting capability wouldreside in its useable non-nuclear HGVIndiarsquos nuclear weapons purportedlydelivered by its submarines Agniseries ballistic missiles and aircraftwould on the other hand be rendereduseless against China
Such a possibility deserves an urgentreview both of Indiarsquos nuclear deter-rence against China and the indigenousBMD which despite the infusion ofhuge funds has unfortunately notdemonstrated satisfactory results In2011 the then Defence Research andDevelopment Organisation (DRDO)chief VK Saraswat had spelt out thetimelines to this writer for the accom-plishment of the BMD programme Hehad said that by 2013 phase one of theproject which involved successful inter-ception of hostile missiles with 2000-kmrange would be achieved Phase two ofthe programme which required neutral-isation of 5000-km range ballistic mis-siles would be done by 2015 the sameyear when the ballistic missile shieldwould become available for impreg-nable defence of the capital city of Delhiand major metropolises The purchaseof five units or regiments of Russian S-400 ADMS in 2016 is evidence thatSaraswat was doing kite-flying
Even the military should take itsportion of the blame Many DRDO sci-entists have told me that the militaryleadership unable to find or under-stand operational employment ofhypersonic missiles has shown littleinterest in their presentations WithPLA having showcased these missilesthe Defence Minister ought to take thebull by the horns A way forward is toseek Russian cooperation through thesuccessful BrahMos supersonic cruisemissile programme Given that Brah-Mos is Indiarsquos most successfuldefence programme has consistentlymet its timelines has been acceptedby the three defence services and hasgenerated employment and wealth itcould be the ideal vehicle for thedevelopment of hypersonic cruisemissiles and strengthening bilateralrelations between India and Russia

THE world was taken by surpriseon September 14 when thelargest Saudi oil processingplant at Abqaiq was hit by a
lsquoswarmrsquo of around 25 drones and somecruise missiles launched by the Houthirebels in Yemen one of the poorestcountries in the world The attackscaused extensive damage to the plantknocking out 60 per cent of the Saudi oilproduction and triggering a 20 per centspike in oil prices And the worldrsquosattention was thus suddenly focused onYemen and the Houthis an Islamic Zai-di Shia political and armed movementwhich has been fighting a lsquoforgottenrsquowar against Saudi Arabia and the UAEfor more than four years
The Yemeni war began in March 2015when Saudi forces invaded the countryto intervene in what was essentially adomestic dispute between the Houthisand the government of PresidentAbdrabbuh Mansur Hadi The Saudisinvaded Yemen because they viewedthe Houthis as Iranian proxies both ofthem being Shia The Houthis defeatedthe forces loyal to Hadi and capturedSanarsquoa the countryrsquos capital in Sep-tember 2014 In January 2015 Hadiresigned and later fled to Saudi Arabiawhere he presently lives in exile
The Saudi decision to invade Yemenwas taken by Mohammad bin Salman(MbS) the present Crown Prince of Sau-di Arabia To attack Yemen the Saudismobilised a coalition that included theUAE Egypt Jordan Morocco SudanKuwait Qatar and Bahrain But essen-tially it was the Saudi and Emirati
forces that were involved in the inva-sion which was also supported by theUS and the UK They providedweapons logistical support and target-ing information to the Saudis
The Wahhabi Saudis wanted a gov-ernment in Yemen that was not con-trolled by the Zaidi Shia HouthisThey also wanted to control Yemenrsquosoil and a pipeline from their oilfieldsto a harbour in Yemen which wouldhave enabled them to avoid the Iran-dominated Strait of Hormuz
The Saudis and the Emiratis expecteda quick victory against the Houthis whowere a rag-tag bunch of fighters withoutan organised army or sophisticatedweapons However they were highlymotivated agile innovative and knew
the terrain well The Saudis and theEmiratis on the other hand were poorfighters accustomed to the comforts oflife They could not match the Houthison the ground and soon resorted toindiscriminate bombing from the airkilling thousands of civilians
According to reliable estimatesaround 2 lakh Yemenis have died in thefighting including 1 lakh childrenunder the age of five from famine and acholera epidemic On some occasionsinternational aid was prevented fromreaching the Yemeni people by blockad-ing of the ports by the Saudis and theirallies And notably the self-styled glob-al lsquocustodiansrsquo of human rights werecomplicit in this genocidal war For thisreason it became a lsquoforgottenrsquo war
receiving very little media coverage TheUnited Nations has called it the biggesthumanitarian crisis on the planet
However the situation began tochange in May 2019 when the Houthislaunched drone attacks against someSaudi oil facilities That was followedon August 17 by a multiple droneattack on Shaybah a massive Saudi oiland gas field which is around 1200 kmfrom Houthi-controlled territory inYemen The drone attacks demonstrat-ed the vulnerability of the Saudi oilinfrastructure to the attacks by theHouthis and the range of their dronesand missiles Neither the Saudis northe Americans currently have any mis-sile or air defence systems that canoffer protection against such attacks
It is clear that drones have been agame-changer in Yemen One experthas called them ldquothe most disruptivemilitary technology yet conceivedrdquoThey are cheap costing only a few mil-lion dollars compared to the Saudiarsenal costing hundreds of billions ofdollars The Houthis are now makingtheir own drones based on Iraniandesigns and technical advice They arealso probably importing drones andcruise missiles from Iran
The Saudis have suffered anotherreversal in Yemen Their major ally theUAE pulled out of the war a few monthsago when the port of Aden in the Southfell to the Southern Transitional Coun-cil a separatist group backed by theUAE This has infuriated the Saudis butthey have not been able to do much
The Saudis and the Americans have
blamed Iran for the September 14attack on Abqaiq instead of the Houthiswho have claimed responsibility for itIran has denied any role in the attackThe US is unlikely to attack Iran but ifit does it could set the whole regionon fire That could adversely affectalmost seven million people of Indianorigin who work in the Gulf and remitbillions of dollars to India
On September 20 the US announcedthat it was sending troops and more mis-sile defence systems such as Patriot andTHAAD (Terminal High Altitude AreaDefence ) to Saudi Arabia However theyare unlikely to be effective against low-flying drones which can only be stoppedby short-range Russian systems such asPantsyr-S1 and the BUK-2 which theRussians have used to defend their basein Syria against similar attacks
On September 28 the Houthis dealtanother blow to the Saudis by launch-ing a ground attack within Saudi terri-tory near Najran in which three Saudibrigades were defeated and hundredsof soldiers were either killed woundedor captured The operation demonstrat-ed that Saudi Arabia was vulnerable toair and ground attack by the Houthis
The asymmetrical warfare fought bythe Houthis appears to have broughtSaudi Arabia to its knees The WallStreet Journal reported on August 28that the Trump administration waspreparing to initiate negotiations withthe Houthis to end the war in Yemen Itremains to be seen when or if that hap-pens But one thing is clear The war inYemen is no longer lsquoforgottenrsquo

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them
lsquoWe saved our land from catastrophersquo
TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

attitude of a few leaders ofher area and claimed that shewould emerge victorious
She was taken into a carby her supporters towardsSirmaur before she couldbe poached by BJP leadersShe began her campaigninglater in the day

Nurpur October 3With drug trafficking in the inter-state border areasof lower Kangra districtcomprising Nurpur andIndora subdivisions risingthe state government hasturned a ldquoblind eyerdquo to theNurpur de-addiction-cum-rehabilitation centre
Set up during the previousCongress regime and inau-gurated by then CM Virb-hadra Singh on January 122017 the centre is run by theKangra district Red Cross

Surprisingly the centrehas no doctor or psychia-
trist As per informationthe centre is run by just aproject coordinator a coun-selor a pharmacist and asafai karamchari The
recent suicide by a 64-year-old man addicted to alcoholhas now put a questionmark on the safety ofinmates and the staff
deployed at the centre Asthere is no watchman or asecurity guard it is fearedthat such unsavory inci-dents can recur
Set up in the OBC hostelbuilding the centre canadmit 10 addicts at a timebut its full capacity couldnever be used for want ofrequisite staff Centre incharge-cum-project coordi-nator Amit Kumar admittedthat the centre was unableto admit more than fiveaddicts at a time and thewaiting list of addicts hadalways been quite long
ldquoThe working environ-ment is unsafe too as thestaff is always under threatof being attacked by theinmates who turn aggres-sive on being denied syn-thetic drugs or intoxi-cantsrdquo he said
As the centre is locatednear the border of PunjabHimachal Pradesh and Jam-mu amp Kashmir where drugtrafficking is on the risedespite registration of casesunder the NDPS Act thedemand for better facilitiesand more staff has been gain-ing momentum

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

At its last meeting in Augustthe MPC reduced the bench-mark lending rate by anunusual 35 basis points to 540per cent The upcoming MPCmeeting comes in the backdropof RBIrsquos mandate to banks to
link their loan products to anexternal benchmark like reporate for the faster transmissionof reduction in policy rates toborrowers from October 1
Ahead of the meeting theDas-headed Financial Stabil-ity and Development Council(FSDC) sub-committee tookstock of the prevailing macro-economic situation
Earlier the RBI Governorhad said the government hadlittle fiscal space giving hopethat the bank may providemore monetary stimulus toprop up the economy The gov-ernmentrsquos fiscal space hasbeen squeezed on account ofcut in the rates of corporate taxas well as lowering of the GSTrate on various goods Rev-enue collection too has beenbelow the Budget estimates
Experts are of the opinionthat another rate cut is on thecards as the governmentrsquoshands are tied and the onusof taking initiatives now restswith the central bank mdash PTI

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

POLITICAL SCIENTIST
SUBSTANTIAL parts of ourworld have been captured byright-wing populists and inter-estingly all such leaders have a
great deal in common One they con-temptuously dismiss institutions asembodiments of privilege a nuisanceat best and irrelevant at worst Twopopulists forge a national constituencyunmediated by institutions organisa-tions or the opposition Three theyrepresent themselves as targets of con-spiracies fashioned by an elite that hasbecome corrupt moribund and irrele-vant Four populist leaders refuse toplay by rules of the game Whether it isTrump or Modi they have no hesita-tion in uttering statements that theirpredecessors would deem improperThey are simply unpredictable
President Trump is the quintessen-tial populist leader he disdains politi-cal proprieties His presidency hasbeen ridden by controversy since dayone random dismissal of importantofficials wilful decisions and opendistribution of benefits to his ownfamily Ever since the Democrats tookover the House of Representatives inJanuary 2019 the Congress has beenpulverised The Republican-con-trolled Senate has blocked every pieceof progressive legislation passed bythe House It is not therefore surpris-ing that in September the Speaker ofthe House of Representatives NancyPelosi announced that an impeach-ment inquiry would be initiatedagainst the President He had report-edly requested his counterpart in theUkraine to lsquodig up dirtrsquo on Joe Bidena possible Democrat contender for the2020 presidential elections Does ask-ing a foreign power to intervene inelections warrant impeachment
Historians suggest that members of
the Constitutional Convention that metin Philadelphia in 1787 to draw up theAmerican constitution were unhappywith the authority vested in the Presi-dent In accordance with doctrines ofchecks and balances the Congress wasgiven the power to impeach the Presi-dent in cases of lsquotreason bribery or oth-er high crimes and misdemeanorsrsquoThis provision which was in keepingwith the spirit of British constitutionaland legal practice is not meant to pun-ish the incumbent of the White Housemerely to remove him from office Theprocess is cumbersome The House ofRepresentatives has to pass Articles ofImpeachment or a list of charges by amajority vote The case then goes to theSenate which is convened as a judici-ary to hear arguments from both sidesThe removal of the President requires atwo-thirds majority
It was feared as one of the foundersof the American constitution acceptedin a piece in Federalist No 65 thatimpeachment will ignite political pas-sions harness animosities partialitiesand influence and divide the countryThe process might prove more harm-ful than any decision on innocence orguilt Alexander Hamilton was pre-scient Impeachment proceedings
have been launched against two Pres-idents mdash Andrew Johnson in 1868 andBill Clinton in 1998 The former tookover the presidency after the assassi-nation of President Abraham Lincolnduring the civil war in 1868 He is con-sidered a racist because he openlysupported the cause of White South-erners and opposed the civil rights ofliberated Afro-Americans He wasimpeached on a technical issue thatof vetoing a law passed by the Con-gress In the Senate his impeachmentwas defeated by one vote
Impeachment proceedings were ini-tiated against Clinton following alle-gations that he had lied to the SpecialProsecutor about his sexual relation-ship with a White House intern Hewas under oath The move failedbecause it could not secure a two-thirds majority in the Senate Clin-tonrsquos case is controversial expertsargue that a President cannot beimpeached for personal wrongdoingthat may not reflect on public affairs
The only President against whomimpeachment proceedings would havebeen successful is Richard Nixon Hehowever resigned within two years ofhis second term In July 1974 28 out of38 members of the House of Represen-
tatives judiciary committee voted toimpeach him Members of his own par-ty affirmed that they would voteagainst him On August 5 the prover-bial lsquosmoking gunrsquo established that hehad covered the break into the head-quarters of the Democratic Party atWatergate by his campaign committeeduring the 1972 presidential pollsNixon was aware that the Senate wouldvote for his dismissal He resigned Ifimpeachment had succeeded it wouldhave established the superiority of theCongress over the executive
Today Democrats have left no stoneunturned to impeach the President forserious abuse of power Trump tweetsconspiracy theories and appeals to hisconstituency He also threatens to findthe whistleblower These two extreme-ly irresponsible statements can possi-bly add to the list of offences chartedout in the Articles of Impeachment
Hamiltonrsquos foreboding thatimpeachment would divide popularopinion and split the country ratherthan successfully remove the Presi-dent from power has come true Everfaithful to their vocation survey agen-cies have rushed to the American peo-ple for their opinion the Presidentrsquosmen rush to television studios to pleadthat their boss is being victimised thePresident tweets that this is a conspir-acy and Democrats claim that a robustcase exists for impeaching Trump
Even if the House of Representa-tives votes for impeachment it isdebatable whether the move will passthe Senate which controlled by theRepublicans backs the President atleast to date More significantlyTrump has a significant base amongconservative voters and the ruralheartland On October 1 he tweeted anelectoral map dominated by his colourred mdash lsquoTry and impeach thisrsquo he chal-lenged Perceive the irony The pop-ulist leader scorns institutions andaddresses the lsquopeoplersquo Therefore hecan present himself as a casualty ofintrigues even though he is the mostpowerful man on earth Nothing workslike sentimental narratives of victim-hood Trump might emerge as a mar-tyr as a hostage of entrenched powernot quite smelling of roses but still

Stuck with plasticMass movement needed to reduce its use
THE government has finally woken up to the menace of single-useplastic though it has stopped short of announcing a blanket banSuch plastic commonly used for packaging and carrying goods
is disposable but its indiscriminate disposal has been wreaking havocon the environment Even as PM Narendra Modi is envisioning anIndia free of single-use plastic by 2022 the onus is on various stake-holders right from the industry to the consumer to decrease (andeventually stop) its consumption and popularise alternatives such aspaper and jute The prevailing economic slowdown and the prospectof more job losses have prevented the NDA government characteristi-cally not known for restraint and moderation from rushing into aknee-jerk decision As of now single-use plastic will not be allowedinside national monuments and within 100 metres of their boundary
The national focus on generating public awareness about the boon-turned-bane is a welcome move The imposition of bans and fines hasoften proved counter-productive due to lax enforcement and wide-spread non-cooperation Old habits die hard A behavioural change canhappen only if a mass movement sweeps the country It is imperativeto break the demand-and-supply cycle Himachal Pradesh has takenthe lead by deciding to buy-back non-recyclable plastic waste and sin-gle-use plastic at a minimum support price of Rs 75 per kg Such incen-tives can go a long way in curbing the availability of the eco-unfriendlymaterial Installing plastic disposal machines at railway stations andother public places is also a step in the right direction
Converting toxic waste into something productive is anotherchallenge Indian Oil Corporation plans to employ its refinery oper-ations to turn single-use plastic waste into specialised bitumen thatcan be utilised for the construction of roads and highways Moresuch out-of-the-box ideas are needed India can even draw inspira-tion from an unexpected quarter Rwanda According to a report ofthe UN Environment Programme the African country mdash once rav-aged by civil war and genocide mdash has become one of the cleanestcountries on the planet due to its proactive campaign against single-use plastic Where therersquos a will therersquos a plastic-free way
Congress a divided houseParty in disarray ahead of Haryana elections
NOTHING unites Congressmen more than the sight of electoralvictory while political wilderness brings to the fore bickeringin the rank and file The five years in opposition in Haryana
seem to have done the party little good with factionalism out in theopen Earlier it was state unit chief Ashok Tanwar who was in the fir-ing line after the party lost all 10 seats in the Lok Sabha elections Theroles have now been reversed with Tanwar training guns at former CMBhupinder Singh Hooda and state unit president Kumari Selja accus-ing them of selling the party ticket Tanwar took his fight to Delhiprotesting outside Sonia Gandhirsquos residence and asking to be relievedof all poll panels The rivalry spilled over after Selja was made thestate president and Hooda the chief of the election management com-mittee A video went viral allegedly to embarrass the party a daybefore Hooda is slated to file his nomination
Tanwar is known to be close to Rahul Gandhi and with the latter step-ping aside after the loss in the Lok Sabha elections his replacement wasonly a matter of time His fight for tickets for his loyalists is natural Butthe party apparently wishes to throw its weight behind the old guard tohave a go at the BJP in the Assembly elections
The Congress was known for strong regional satraps Like VirbhadraSingh in HP and Capt Amarinder Singh in Punjab the partyrsquos decisionprobably is dictated by the prospect of facing a resurgent BJP With Sel-ja in the saddle the Congress has tried to offset the possible loss of Dalitvotes by Tanwarrsquos replacement A lsquohuman bombrsquo cost Rajiv Gandhi hislife and Tanwar should be circumspect in using the term howeverinnocuous the context might be even as his grievance should be lookedinto His next course of action is awaited but the party itself should beseen as fighting the BJP and not amongst itself

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 4 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED
AT Chinarsquos National DayParade on October 1 the mili-tary might of the Peoplersquos Lib-eration Army (PLA) in full dis-
play was watched closely by the worldThe commander-in-chief of the PLA XiJinping inspected the parade which fea-tured 15000 troops 160 aircraft and 600pieces of equipment
What caught the attention of dis-cerning observers were the new mis-siles which are a part of the 2016-raised rocket force (PeoplersquosLiberation Army Rocket ForcePLARF) The Dongfeng DF-41 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)with a range of 15000 km travelling atseven km per second approximatespeed Mach 20 (Mach is the speed ofsound) and 500 meters accuracy theDongfeng DF-100 hypersonic cruisemissile and the Dongfeng DF-17medium range ballistic missile fittedwith Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)mdash DF-ZF mdash with a range of 2000 km
While western analysts focused onDF-41 ICBM which would play a crit-ical role in strategic counterbalancedeterrence and in winning war forIndia the DF-100 and DF-17 fittedwith HGV mdash DF-ZF mdash should be acause of concern Hypersonic mis-siles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this centurywhich would mdash between India andChina mdash replace nuclear deterrence
with non-nuclear deterrence reshapethe rules of conventional war-fight-ing and transform geopolitics Onlythree countries mdash the US Russia andChina mdash have made credible stridesin procuring harnessing and exploiting this technology
Hypersonic missiles are radically dif-ferent from ballistic and cruise missilesBallistic missiles boosted by powerfulrocket engines leave the atmosphere(the dividing altitude between atmos-phere and space is 100 km) to enterspace reach the apogee and then re-enter atmosphere to hit the designatedtarget These missiles follow a definedelliptical trajectory which helps theBallistic Missile Defence (BMD) sys-tem to intercept and neutralise theirwarhead before it causes damage TheUS since over four decades has invest-ed heavily in BMD systems Inspiredby it India too has invested in indige-nous BMD since 2000
Cruise missiles stay within theatmosphere fly at low altitude toevade ground-based radars and arepowered and guided throughout theflight in a defined near-flat trajectoryuntil its designated target Cruise mis-siles powered by air-breathing jetengines have sub-sonic speeds exceptIndiarsquos BrahMos missile which pow-ered by ramjet engine has a superson-ic speed of Mach 3 To defeat cruisemissiles there are technologies likethe Russian S-400 Air Defence MissileSystem (ADMS) amongst others
Hypersonic cruise missiles with twopeculiarities are a class apart Onethey have speed upwards of Mach 5 mdashtheir kinetic energy (derived frommotion) itself is enough to destroyhardened and underground facilities
Two they fly at low altitudes thoughhigher than cruise missiles and aredifficult to detect by terrestrial or
land-based radars because of theirability to change course rapidlyUnlike ballistic and cruise missileswhich follow a defined trajectoryhypersonic missiles are highlymanoeuvrable thereby giving very lit-tle reaction time to the opponent tojudge which target is being hit Thisdelayed detection makes timelyresponse extremely difficult
HGV are fitted on ballistic missilerocket engines like DF-17 DF-21 DF-26 and even DF-41 ICBM and boostedAfter a certain boost phase the HGVdetaches itself from the rocket andglides towards its target 2000 kmaway in a wayward rather than adefined low flight trajectory
Senior officials from Raytheon Com-pany of the US recently told thiswriter at an international air show thatmeeting the hypersonic cruise missilechallenge would require new sensorsfor early detection Since terrestrial
sensors alone would not work theneed would be to have a mix of space-based and terrestrial sensors Theentire hypersonic missile defencearchitecture they said would requirehuge investments patience technolo-gy and technical expertise
Given the new missilersquos characteris-tics the DF-100 and DF-17 with HGVin PLA inventory would be a powerfulasymmetric capability For instance itwould be a national humiliation if theHGV were to hit and destroy Indiarsquosaircraft carrier Since India mdash familiarwith PLArsquos nuclear weapons invento-ry mdash is unlikely to raise the stakesChinarsquos new deterrence as well as dis-ruptive war-fighting capability wouldreside in its useable non-nuclear HGVIndiarsquos nuclear weapons purportedlydelivered by its submarines Agniseries ballistic missiles and aircraftwould on the other hand be rendereduseless against China
Such a possibility deserves an urgentreview both of Indiarsquos nuclear deter-rence against China and the indigenousBMD which despite the infusion ofhuge funds has unfortunately notdemonstrated satisfactory results In2011 the then Defence Research andDevelopment Organisation (DRDO)chief VK Saraswat had spelt out thetimelines to this writer for the accom-plishment of the BMD programme Hehad said that by 2013 phase one of theproject which involved successful inter-ception of hostile missiles with 2000-kmrange would be achieved Phase two ofthe programme which required neutral-isation of 5000-km range ballistic mis-siles would be done by 2015 the sameyear when the ballistic missile shieldwould become available for impreg-nable defence of the capital city of Delhiand major metropolises The purchaseof five units or regiments of Russian S-400 ADMS in 2016 is evidence thatSaraswat was doing kite-flying
Even the military should take itsportion of the blame Many DRDO sci-entists have told me that the militaryleadership unable to find or under-stand operational employment ofhypersonic missiles has shown littleinterest in their presentations WithPLA having showcased these missilesthe Defence Minister ought to take thebull by the horns A way forward is toseek Russian cooperation through thesuccessful BrahMos supersonic cruisemissile programme Given that Brah-Mos is Indiarsquos most successfuldefence programme has consistentlymet its timelines has been acceptedby the three defence services and hasgenerated employment and wealth itcould be the ideal vehicle for thedevelopment of hypersonic cruisemissiles and strengthening bilateralrelations between India and Russia

THE world was taken by surpriseon September 14 when thelargest Saudi oil processingplant at Abqaiq was hit by a
lsquoswarmrsquo of around 25 drones and somecruise missiles launched by the Houthirebels in Yemen one of the poorestcountries in the world The attackscaused extensive damage to the plantknocking out 60 per cent of the Saudi oilproduction and triggering a 20 per centspike in oil prices And the worldrsquosattention was thus suddenly focused onYemen and the Houthis an Islamic Zai-di Shia political and armed movementwhich has been fighting a lsquoforgottenrsquowar against Saudi Arabia and the UAEfor more than four years
The Yemeni war began in March 2015when Saudi forces invaded the countryto intervene in what was essentially adomestic dispute between the Houthisand the government of PresidentAbdrabbuh Mansur Hadi The Saudisinvaded Yemen because they viewedthe Houthis as Iranian proxies both ofthem being Shia The Houthis defeatedthe forces loyal to Hadi and capturedSanarsquoa the countryrsquos capital in Sep-tember 2014 In January 2015 Hadiresigned and later fled to Saudi Arabiawhere he presently lives in exile
The Saudi decision to invade Yemenwas taken by Mohammad bin Salman(MbS) the present Crown Prince of Sau-di Arabia To attack Yemen the Saudismobilised a coalition that included theUAE Egypt Jordan Morocco SudanKuwait Qatar and Bahrain But essen-tially it was the Saudi and Emirati
forces that were involved in the inva-sion which was also supported by theUS and the UK They providedweapons logistical support and target-ing information to the Saudis
The Wahhabi Saudis wanted a gov-ernment in Yemen that was not con-trolled by the Zaidi Shia HouthisThey also wanted to control Yemenrsquosoil and a pipeline from their oilfieldsto a harbour in Yemen which wouldhave enabled them to avoid the Iran-dominated Strait of Hormuz
The Saudis and the Emiratis expecteda quick victory against the Houthis whowere a rag-tag bunch of fighters withoutan organised army or sophisticatedweapons However they were highlymotivated agile innovative and knew
the terrain well The Saudis and theEmiratis on the other hand were poorfighters accustomed to the comforts oflife They could not match the Houthison the ground and soon resorted toindiscriminate bombing from the airkilling thousands of civilians
According to reliable estimatesaround 2 lakh Yemenis have died in thefighting including 1 lakh childrenunder the age of five from famine and acholera epidemic On some occasionsinternational aid was prevented fromreaching the Yemeni people by blockad-ing of the ports by the Saudis and theirallies And notably the self-styled glob-al lsquocustodiansrsquo of human rights werecomplicit in this genocidal war For thisreason it became a lsquoforgottenrsquo war
receiving very little media coverage TheUnited Nations has called it the biggesthumanitarian crisis on the planet
However the situation began tochange in May 2019 when the Houthislaunched drone attacks against someSaudi oil facilities That was followedon August 17 by a multiple droneattack on Shaybah a massive Saudi oiland gas field which is around 1200 kmfrom Houthi-controlled territory inYemen The drone attacks demonstrat-ed the vulnerability of the Saudi oilinfrastructure to the attacks by theHouthis and the range of their dronesand missiles Neither the Saudis northe Americans currently have any mis-sile or air defence systems that canoffer protection against such attacks
It is clear that drones have been agame-changer in Yemen One experthas called them ldquothe most disruptivemilitary technology yet conceivedrdquoThey are cheap costing only a few mil-lion dollars compared to the Saudiarsenal costing hundreds of billions ofdollars The Houthis are now makingtheir own drones based on Iraniandesigns and technical advice They arealso probably importing drones andcruise missiles from Iran
The Saudis have suffered anotherreversal in Yemen Their major ally theUAE pulled out of the war a few monthsago when the port of Aden in the Southfell to the Southern Transitional Coun-cil a separatist group backed by theUAE This has infuriated the Saudis butthey have not been able to do much
The Saudis and the Americans have
blamed Iran for the September 14attack on Abqaiq instead of the Houthiswho have claimed responsibility for itIran has denied any role in the attackThe US is unlikely to attack Iran but ifit does it could set the whole regionon fire That could adversely affectalmost seven million people of Indianorigin who work in the Gulf and remitbillions of dollars to India
On September 20 the US announcedthat it was sending troops and more mis-sile defence systems such as Patriot andTHAAD (Terminal High Altitude AreaDefence ) to Saudi Arabia However theyare unlikely to be effective against low-flying drones which can only be stoppedby short-range Russian systems such asPantsyr-S1 and the BUK-2 which theRussians have used to defend their basein Syria against similar attacks
On September 28 the Houthis dealtanother blow to the Saudis by launch-ing a ground attack within Saudi terri-tory near Najran in which three Saudibrigades were defeated and hundredsof soldiers were either killed woundedor captured The operation demonstrat-ed that Saudi Arabia was vulnerable toair and ground attack by the Houthis
The asymmetrical warfare fought bythe Houthis appears to have broughtSaudi Arabia to its knees The WallStreet Journal reported on August 28that the Trump administration waspreparing to initiate negotiations withthe Houthis to end the war in Yemen Itremains to be seen when or if that hap-pens But one thing is clear The war inYemen is no longer lsquoforgottenrsquo

The Houthis an IslamicZaidi Shia political and
armed movement active inYemen have been fightinga war against Saudi Arabiaand the UAE for more thanfour years The Saudis and
the Americans have blamedIran for the Sept 14 attackon the Saudi oil processing

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them
lsquoWe saved our land from catastrophersquo
TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

The government has alsoannounced opening ofinstitutes of higher educa-tion from October 9 but itseems unlikely that stu-dents will attend the class-es as the communication

The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

Guru Nanak preached simplicity andlaid emphasis on observing honesty inwhatever one does He was not in
favour of any ostentatious show Heworked for the poor and underprivi-leged He was all for education whichhe thought would help one to be ofsome use to others (vidya veechari tanparupkari) Can our leaders both polit-ical and religious think of doing some-thing more meaningful forhumankind Can we think of opening550 hospitals 550 schools and collegesand an equal number of de-addictioncentres to save our youth and guidethem to live a purposeful life AkalTakht is the highest temporal seat ofthe Sikhs and any verdict issued fromthere is binding on the Sikh communi-ty It should issue certain diktats to takesociety out of perennial social evils
Punjabis including Sikhs areknown to organise lavish parties on
weddings where liquor flows likewater and non-vegetarian food isserved It has become a status symbolThere are some who can afford thislavish and avoidable expendituremany more are compelled to do itunder pressure as a face-saving exer-cise It is not uncommon that some-times they may have to part with aprecious piece of agricultural land ortake substantial loans Subsequentlythis financial burden emerges as amajor reason for farm suicides

POLITICAL SCIENTIST
SUBSTANTIAL parts of ourworld have been captured byright-wing populists and inter-estingly all such leaders have a
great deal in common One they con-temptuously dismiss institutions asembodiments of privilege a nuisanceat best and irrelevant at worst Twopopulists forge a national constituencyunmediated by institutions organisa-tions or the opposition Three theyrepresent themselves as targets of con-spiracies fashioned by an elite that hasbecome corrupt moribund and irrele-vant Four populist leaders refuse toplay by rules of the game Whether it isTrump or Modi they have no hesita-tion in uttering statements that theirpredecessors would deem improperThey are simply unpredictable
President Trump is the quintessen-tial populist leader he disdains politi-cal proprieties His presidency hasbeen ridden by controversy since dayone random dismissal of importantofficials wilful decisions and opendistribution of benefits to his ownfamily Ever since the Democrats tookover the House of Representatives inJanuary 2019 the Congress has beenpulverised The Republican-con-trolled Senate has blocked every pieceof progressive legislation passed bythe House It is not therefore surpris-ing that in September the Speaker ofthe House of Representatives NancyPelosi announced that an impeach-ment inquiry would be initiatedagainst the President He had report-edly requested his counterpart in theUkraine to lsquodig up dirtrsquo on Joe Bidena possible Democrat contender for the2020 presidential elections Does ask-ing a foreign power to intervene inelections warrant impeachment
Historians suggest that members of
the Constitutional Convention that metin Philadelphia in 1787 to draw up theAmerican constitution were unhappywith the authority vested in the Presi-dent In accordance with doctrines ofchecks and balances the Congress wasgiven the power to impeach the Presi-dent in cases of lsquotreason bribery or oth-er high crimes and misdemeanorsrsquoThis provision which was in keepingwith the spirit of British constitutionaland legal practice is not meant to pun-ish the incumbent of the White Housemerely to remove him from office Theprocess is cumbersome The House ofRepresentatives has to pass Articles ofImpeachment or a list of charges by amajority vote The case then goes to theSenate which is convened as a judici-ary to hear arguments from both sidesThe removal of the President requires atwo-thirds majority
It was feared as one of the foundersof the American constitution acceptedin a piece in Federalist No 65 thatimpeachment will ignite political pas-sions harness animosities partialitiesand influence and divide the countryThe process might prove more harm-ful than any decision on innocence orguilt Alexander Hamilton was pre-scient Impeachment proceedings
have been launched against two Pres-idents mdash Andrew Johnson in 1868 andBill Clinton in 1998 The former tookover the presidency after the assassi-nation of President Abraham Lincolnduring the civil war in 1868 He is con-sidered a racist because he openlysupported the cause of White South-erners and opposed the civil rights ofliberated Afro-Americans He wasimpeached on a technical issue thatof vetoing a law passed by the Con-gress In the Senate his impeachmentwas defeated by one vote
Impeachment proceedings were ini-tiated against Clinton following alle-gations that he had lied to the SpecialProsecutor about his sexual relation-ship with a White House intern Hewas under oath The move failedbecause it could not secure a two-thirds majority in the Senate Clin-tonrsquos case is controversial expertsargue that a President cannot beimpeached for personal wrongdoingthat may not reflect on public affairs
The only President against whomimpeachment proceedings would havebeen successful is Richard Nixon Hehowever resigned within two years ofhis second term In July 1974 28 out of38 members of the House of Represen-
tatives judiciary committee voted toimpeach him Members of his own par-ty affirmed that they would voteagainst him On August 5 the prover-bial lsquosmoking gunrsquo established that hehad covered the break into the head-quarters of the Democratic Party atWatergate by his campaign committeeduring the 1972 presidential pollsNixon was aware that the Senate wouldvote for his dismissal He resigned Ifimpeachment had succeeded it wouldhave established the superiority of theCongress over the executive
Today Democrats have left no stoneunturned to impeach the President forserious abuse of power Trump tweetsconspiracy theories and appeals to hisconstituency He also threatens to findthe whistleblower These two extreme-ly irresponsible statements can possi-bly add to the list of offences chartedout in the Articles of Impeachment
Hamiltonrsquos foreboding thatimpeachment would divide popularopinion and split the country ratherthan successfully remove the Presi-dent from power has come true Everfaithful to their vocation survey agen-cies have rushed to the American peo-ple for their opinion the Presidentrsquosmen rush to television studios to pleadthat their boss is being victimised thePresident tweets that this is a conspir-acy and Democrats claim that a robustcase exists for impeaching Trump
Even if the House of Representa-tives votes for impeachment it isdebatable whether the move will passthe Senate which controlled by theRepublicans backs the President atleast to date More significantlyTrump has a significant base amongconservative voters and the ruralheartland On October 1 he tweeted anelectoral map dominated by his colourred mdash lsquoTry and impeach thisrsquo he chal-lenged Perceive the irony The pop-ulist leader scorns institutions andaddresses the lsquopeoplersquo Therefore hecan present himself as a casualty ofintrigues even though he is the mostpowerful man on earth Nothing workslike sentimental narratives of victim-hood Trump might emerge as a mar-tyr as a hostage of entrenched powernot quite smelling of roses but still

Stuck with plasticMass movement needed to reduce its use
THE government has finally woken up to the menace of single-useplastic though it has stopped short of announcing a blanket banSuch plastic commonly used for packaging and carrying goods
is disposable but its indiscriminate disposal has been wreaking havocon the environment Even as PM Narendra Modi is envisioning anIndia free of single-use plastic by 2022 the onus is on various stake-holders right from the industry to the consumer to decrease (andeventually stop) its consumption and popularise alternatives such aspaper and jute The prevailing economic slowdown and the prospectof more job losses have prevented the NDA government characteristi-cally not known for restraint and moderation from rushing into aknee-jerk decision As of now single-use plastic will not be allowedinside national monuments and within 100 metres of their boundary
The national focus on generating public awareness about the boon-turned-bane is a welcome move The imposition of bans and fines hasoften proved counter-productive due to lax enforcement and wide-spread non-cooperation Old habits die hard A behavioural change canhappen only if a mass movement sweeps the country It is imperativeto break the demand-and-supply cycle Himachal Pradesh has takenthe lead by deciding to buy-back non-recyclable plastic waste and sin-gle-use plastic at a minimum support price of Rs 75 per kg Such incen-tives can go a long way in curbing the availability of the eco-unfriendlymaterial Installing plastic disposal machines at railway stations andother public places is also a step in the right direction
Converting toxic waste into something productive is anotherchallenge Indian Oil Corporation plans to employ its refinery oper-ations to turn single-use plastic waste into specialised bitumen thatcan be utilised for the construction of roads and highways Moresuch out-of-the-box ideas are needed India can even draw inspira-tion from an unexpected quarter Rwanda According to a report ofthe UN Environment Programme the African country mdash once rav-aged by civil war and genocide mdash has become one of the cleanestcountries on the planet due to its proactive campaign against single-use plastic Where therersquos a will therersquos a plastic-free way
Congress a divided houseParty in disarray ahead of Haryana elections
NOTHING unites Congressmen more than the sight of electoralvictory while political wilderness brings to the fore bickeringin the rank and file The five years in opposition in Haryana
seem to have done the party little good with factionalism out in theopen Earlier it was state unit chief Ashok Tanwar who was in the fir-ing line after the party lost all 10 seats in the Lok Sabha elections Theroles have now been reversed with Tanwar training guns at former CMBhupinder Singh Hooda and state unit president Kumari Selja accus-ing them of selling the party ticket Tanwar took his fight to Delhiprotesting outside Sonia Gandhirsquos residence and asking to be relievedof all poll panels The rivalry spilled over after Selja was made thestate president and Hooda the chief of the election management com-mittee A video went viral allegedly to embarrass the party a daybefore Hooda is slated to file his nomination
Tanwar is known to be close to Rahul Gandhi and with the latter step-ping aside after the loss in the Lok Sabha elections his replacement wasonly a matter of time His fight for tickets for his loyalists is natural Butthe party apparently wishes to throw its weight behind the old guard tohave a go at the BJP in the Assembly elections
The Congress was known for strong regional satraps Like VirbhadraSingh in HP and Capt Amarinder Singh in Punjab the partyrsquos decisionprobably is dictated by the prospect of facing a resurgent BJP With Sel-ja in the saddle the Congress has tried to offset the possible loss of Dalitvotes by Tanwarrsquos replacement A lsquohuman bombrsquo cost Rajiv Gandhi hislife and Tanwar should be circumspect in using the term howeverinnocuous the context might be even as his grievance should be lookedinto His next course of action is awaited but the party itself should beseen as fighting the BJP and not amongst itself

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 4 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED
AT Chinarsquos National DayParade on October 1 the mili-tary might of the Peoplersquos Lib-eration Army (PLA) in full dis-
play was watched closely by the worldThe commander-in-chief of the PLA XiJinping inspected the parade which fea-tured 15000 troops 160 aircraft and 600pieces of equipment
What caught the attention of dis-cerning observers were the new mis-siles which are a part of the 2016-raised rocket force (PeoplersquosLiberation Army Rocket ForcePLARF) The Dongfeng DF-41 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)with a range of 15000 km travelling atseven km per second approximatespeed Mach 20 (Mach is the speed ofsound) and 500 meters accuracy theDongfeng DF-100 hypersonic cruisemissile and the Dongfeng DF-17medium range ballistic missile fittedwith Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)mdash DF-ZF mdash with a range of 2000 km
While western analysts focused onDF-41 ICBM which would play a crit-ical role in strategic counterbalancedeterrence and in winning war forIndia the DF-100 and DF-17 fittedwith HGV mdash DF-ZF mdash should be acause of concern Hypersonic mis-siles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this centurywhich would mdash between India andChina mdash replace nuclear deterrence
with non-nuclear deterrence reshapethe rules of conventional war-fight-ing and transform geopolitics Onlythree countries mdash the US Russia andChina mdash have made credible stridesin procuring harnessing and exploiting this technology
Hypersonic missiles are radically dif-ferent from ballistic and cruise missilesBallistic missiles boosted by powerfulrocket engines leave the atmosphere(the dividing altitude between atmos-phere and space is 100 km) to enterspace reach the apogee and then re-enter atmosphere to hit the designatedtarget These missiles follow a definedelliptical trajectory which helps theBallistic Missile Defence (BMD) sys-tem to intercept and neutralise theirwarhead before it causes damage TheUS since over four decades has invest-ed heavily in BMD systems Inspiredby it India too has invested in indige-nous BMD since 2000
Cruise missiles stay within theatmosphere fly at low altitude toevade ground-based radars and arepowered and guided throughout theflight in a defined near-flat trajectoryuntil its designated target Cruise mis-siles powered by air-breathing jetengines have sub-sonic speeds exceptIndiarsquos BrahMos missile which pow-ered by ramjet engine has a superson-ic speed of Mach 3 To defeat cruisemissiles there are technologies likethe Russian S-400 Air Defence MissileSystem (ADMS) amongst others
Hypersonic cruise missiles with twopeculiarities are a class apart Onethey have speed upwards of Mach 5 mdashtheir kinetic energy (derived frommotion) itself is enough to destroyhardened and underground facilities
Two they fly at low altitudes thoughhigher than cruise missiles and aredifficult to detect by terrestrial or
land-based radars because of theirability to change course rapidlyUnlike ballistic and cruise missileswhich follow a defined trajectoryhypersonic missiles are highlymanoeuvrable thereby giving very lit-tle reaction time to the opponent tojudge which target is being hit Thisdelayed detection makes timelyresponse extremely difficult
HGV are fitted on ballistic missilerocket engines like DF-17 DF-21 DF-26 and even DF-41 ICBM and boostedAfter a certain boost phase the HGVdetaches itself from the rocket andglides towards its target 2000 kmaway in a wayward rather than adefined low flight trajectory
Senior officials from Raytheon Com-pany of the US recently told thiswriter at an international air show thatmeeting the hypersonic cruise missilechallenge would require new sensorsfor early detection Since terrestrial
sensors alone would not work theneed would be to have a mix of space-based and terrestrial sensors Theentire hypersonic missile defencearchitecture they said would requirehuge investments patience technolo-gy and technical expertise
Given the new missilersquos characteris-tics the DF-100 and DF-17 with HGVin PLA inventory would be a powerfulasymmetric capability For instance itwould be a national humiliation if theHGV were to hit and destroy Indiarsquosaircraft carrier Since India mdash familiarwith PLArsquos nuclear weapons invento-ry mdash is unlikely to raise the stakesChinarsquos new deterrence as well as dis-ruptive war-fighting capability wouldreside in its useable non-nuclear HGVIndiarsquos nuclear weapons purportedlydelivered by its submarines Agniseries ballistic missiles and aircraftwould on the other hand be rendereduseless against China
Such a possibility deserves an urgentreview both of Indiarsquos nuclear deter-rence against China and the indigenousBMD which despite the infusion ofhuge funds has unfortunately notdemonstrated satisfactory results In2011 the then Defence Research andDevelopment Organisation (DRDO)chief VK Saraswat had spelt out thetimelines to this writer for the accom-plishment of the BMD programme Hehad said that by 2013 phase one of theproject which involved successful inter-ception of hostile missiles with 2000-kmrange would be achieved Phase two ofthe programme which required neutral-isation of 5000-km range ballistic mis-siles would be done by 2015 the sameyear when the ballistic missile shieldwould become available for impreg-nable defence of the capital city of Delhiand major metropolises The purchaseof five units or regiments of Russian S-400 ADMS in 2016 is evidence thatSaraswat was doing kite-flying
Even the military should take itsportion of the blame Many DRDO sci-entists have told me that the militaryleadership unable to find or under-stand operational employment ofhypersonic missiles has shown littleinterest in their presentations WithPLA having showcased these missilesthe Defence Minister ought to take thebull by the horns A way forward is toseek Russian cooperation through thesuccessful BrahMos supersonic cruisemissile programme Given that Brah-Mos is Indiarsquos most successfuldefence programme has consistentlymet its timelines has been acceptedby the three defence services and hasgenerated employment and wealth itcould be the ideal vehicle for thedevelopment of hypersonic cruisemissiles and strengthening bilateralrelations between India and Russia

THE world was taken by surpriseon September 14 when thelargest Saudi oil processingplant at Abqaiq was hit by a
lsquoswarmrsquo of around 25 drones and somecruise missiles launched by the Houthirebels in Yemen one of the poorestcountries in the world The attackscaused extensive damage to the plantknocking out 60 per cent of the Saudi oilproduction and triggering a 20 per centspike in oil prices And the worldrsquosattention was thus suddenly focused onYemen and the Houthis an Islamic Zai-di Shia political and armed movementwhich has been fighting a lsquoforgottenrsquowar against Saudi Arabia and the UAEfor more than four years
The Yemeni war began in March 2015when Saudi forces invaded the countryto intervene in what was essentially adomestic dispute between the Houthisand the government of PresidentAbdrabbuh Mansur Hadi The Saudisinvaded Yemen because they viewedthe Houthis as Iranian proxies both ofthem being Shia The Houthis defeatedthe forces loyal to Hadi and capturedSanarsquoa the countryrsquos capital in Sep-tember 2014 In January 2015 Hadiresigned and later fled to Saudi Arabiawhere he presently lives in exile
The Saudi decision to invade Yemenwas taken by Mohammad bin Salman(MbS) the present Crown Prince of Sau-di Arabia To attack Yemen the Saudismobilised a coalition that included theUAE Egypt Jordan Morocco SudanKuwait Qatar and Bahrain But essen-tially it was the Saudi and Emirati
forces that were involved in the inva-sion which was also supported by theUS and the UK They providedweapons logistical support and target-ing information to the Saudis
The Wahhabi Saudis wanted a gov-ernment in Yemen that was not con-trolled by the Zaidi Shia HouthisThey also wanted to control Yemenrsquosoil and a pipeline from their oilfieldsto a harbour in Yemen which wouldhave enabled them to avoid the Iran-dominated Strait of Hormuz
The Saudis and the Emiratis expecteda quick victory against the Houthis whowere a rag-tag bunch of fighters withoutan organised army or sophisticatedweapons However they were highlymotivated agile innovative and knew
the terrain well The Saudis and theEmiratis on the other hand were poorfighters accustomed to the comforts oflife They could not match the Houthison the ground and soon resorted toindiscriminate bombing from the airkilling thousands of civilians
According to reliable estimatesaround 2 lakh Yemenis have died in thefighting including 1 lakh childrenunder the age of five from famine and acholera epidemic On some occasionsinternational aid was prevented fromreaching the Yemeni people by blockad-ing of the ports by the Saudis and theirallies And notably the self-styled glob-al lsquocustodiansrsquo of human rights werecomplicit in this genocidal war For thisreason it became a lsquoforgottenrsquo war
receiving very little media coverage TheUnited Nations has called it the biggesthumanitarian crisis on the planet
However the situation began tochange in May 2019 when the Houthislaunched drone attacks against someSaudi oil facilities That was followedon August 17 by a multiple droneattack on Shaybah a massive Saudi oiland gas field which is around 1200 kmfrom Houthi-controlled territory inYemen The drone attacks demonstrat-ed the vulnerability of the Saudi oilinfrastructure to the attacks by theHouthis and the range of their dronesand missiles Neither the Saudis northe Americans currently have any mis-sile or air defence systems that canoffer protection against such attacks
It is clear that drones have been agame-changer in Yemen One experthas called them ldquothe most disruptivemilitary technology yet conceivedrdquoThey are cheap costing only a few mil-lion dollars compared to the Saudiarsenal costing hundreds of billions ofdollars The Houthis are now makingtheir own drones based on Iraniandesigns and technical advice They arealso probably importing drones andcruise missiles from Iran
The Saudis have suffered anotherreversal in Yemen Their major ally theUAE pulled out of the war a few monthsago when the port of Aden in the Southfell to the Southern Transitional Coun-cil a separatist group backed by theUAE This has infuriated the Saudis butthey have not been able to do much
The Saudis and the Americans have
blamed Iran for the September 14attack on Abqaiq instead of the Houthiswho have claimed responsibility for itIran has denied any role in the attackThe US is unlikely to attack Iran but ifit does it could set the whole regionon fire That could adversely affectalmost seven million people of Indianorigin who work in the Gulf and remitbillions of dollars to India
On September 20 the US announcedthat it was sending troops and more mis-sile defence systems such as Patriot andTHAAD (Terminal High Altitude AreaDefence ) to Saudi Arabia However theyare unlikely to be effective against low-flying drones which can only be stoppedby short-range Russian systems such asPantsyr-S1 and the BUK-2 which theRussians have used to defend their basein Syria against similar attacks
On September 28 the Houthis dealtanother blow to the Saudis by launch-ing a ground attack within Saudi terri-tory near Najran in which three Saudibrigades were defeated and hundredsof soldiers were either killed woundedor captured The operation demonstrat-ed that Saudi Arabia was vulnerable toair and ground attack by the Houthis
The asymmetrical warfare fought bythe Houthis appears to have broughtSaudi Arabia to its knees The WallStreet Journal reported on August 28that the Trump administration waspreparing to initiate negotiations withthe Houthis to end the war in Yemen Itremains to be seen when or if that hap-pens But one thing is clear The war inYemen is no longer lsquoforgottenrsquo

The Houthis an IslamicZaidi Shia political and
armed movement active inYemen have been fightinga war against Saudi Arabiaand the UAE for more thanfour years The Saudis and
the Americans have blamedIran for the Sept 14 attackon the Saudi oil processing

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them
lsquoWe saved our land from catastrophersquo
TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

The government has alsoannounced opening ofinstitutes of higher educa-tion from October 9 but itseems unlikely that stu-dents will attend the class-es as the communication
and internet clampdowncontinues in Kashmir
Many parents continueto raise safety issues ofstudents and haverestrained from sendingthem to schools ldquoWe willnot send our children toschools There is no publictransport and everythingis shut How can studentsas young as 4 5 and 6 yearsof age go to schools Whatwill they do if a stone hitsthem or something hap-pens Who will inform uswhen the phones are not workingrdquo asked Rosy Jan a mother

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

New Delhi October 3Fake news is more dangerousthan paid news and there is aneed for the government andthe media to combat it jointlyInformation and Broadcast-ing Minister PrakashJavadekar said today
The government would how-ever not take any step curbingthe media freedom he said
But there should be somekind of regulation on over-the-top (OTT) platforms as was thecase for films print and elec-tronic media he said
OTT platforms include newsportals and ldquostreamersrdquo suchas Hotstar Netflix and Ama-zon Prime Video which areaccessible over the Internet
He said several mainstreammedia outlets had conveyed tothe government that there wasno level-playing field with OTTplatforms being unregulated

New Delhi October 3The Trump-Modi bonhomieat Houston and New Yorkcould not translate into a tradeagreement during US Com-merce Secretary Wilbur Rossrsquoongoing visit to India
Ross also gave the impres-sion that US President DonaldTrumprsquos presence at ldquoHowdyModirdquo event was a favour to theNew Delhi administration andmade it clear this physical prox-imity between the two leadersdid not dispel the WhiteHousersquos impression that Indianeeded to dismantle barriersthat made its tariff among thehighest in the world
Ross also made it clear thatdespite its reservations aboutthe security aspect the US
was not trying to force India towalk away from 5G technolo-gy by Chinese companies
Speaking on the sidelines ofan international meet that wasalso attended by Ross Com-merce Minister Piyush Goyalruled out any change in Indiarsquos

The new rules bar foreign e-commerce companies fromselling products via firms inwhich they have an equityinterest and also from makingdeals with sellers to sell exclu-sively on their platforms
India and the US have beenindulging in a low-intensitytrade warfare The US hasremoved India from availing ofduty-free exports worth $56 bil-lion under the generalised sys-tem of preferences (GSP)scheme and both have imposedhigher tariffs on 28 of theirproducts In an interview Rossreportedly indicated the UScould look at partial restorationof the GSP withdrawal in agrand bargain for a trade deal

AT Chinarsquos National DayParade on October 1 the mili-tary might of the Peoplersquos Lib-eration Army (PLA) in full dis-
play was watched closely by the worldThe commander-in-chief of the PLA XiJinping inspected the parade which fea-tured 15000 troops 160 aircraft and 600pieces of equipment
What caught the attention of dis-cerning observers were the new mis-siles which are a part of the 2016-raised rocket force (PeoplersquosLiberation Army Rocket ForcePLARF) The Dongfeng DF-41 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)with a range of 15000 km travelling atseven km per second approximatespeed Mach 20 (Mach is the speed ofsound) and 500 meters accuracy theDongfeng DF-100 hypersonic cruisemissile and the Dongfeng DF-17medium range ballistic missile fittedwith Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV)mdash DF-ZF mdash with a range of 2000 km
While western analysts focused onDF-41 ICBM which would play a crit-ical role in strategic counterbalancedeterrence and in winning war forIndia the DF-100 and DF-17 fittedwith HGV mdash DF-ZF mdash should be acause of concern Hypersonic mis-siles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this centurywhich would mdash between India andChina mdash replace nuclear deterrence
with non-nuclear deterrence reshapethe rules of conventional war-fight-ing and transform geopolitics Onlythree countries mdash the US Russia andChina mdash have made credible stridesin procuring harnessing and exploiting this technology
Hypersonic missiles are radically dif-ferent from ballistic and cruise missilesBallistic missiles boosted by powerfulrocket engines leave the atmosphere(the dividing altitude between atmos-phere and space is 100 km) to enterspace reach the apogee and then re-enter atmosphere to hit the designatedtarget These missiles follow a definedelliptical trajectory which helps theBallistic Missile Defence (BMD) sys-tem to intercept and neutralise theirwarhead before it causes damage TheUS since over four decades has invest-ed heavily in BMD systems Inspiredby it India too has invested in indige-nous BMD since 2000
Cruise missiles stay within theatmosphere fly at low altitude toevade ground-based radars and arepowered and guided throughout theflight in a defined near-flat trajectoryuntil its designated target Cruise mis-siles powered by air-breathing jetengines have sub-sonic speeds exceptIndiarsquos BrahMos missile which pow-ered by ramjet engine has a superson-ic speed of Mach 3 To defeat cruisemissiles there are technologies likethe Russian S-400 Air Defence MissileSystem (ADMS) amongst others
Hypersonic cruise missiles with twopeculiarities are a class apart Onethey have speed upwards of Mach 5 mdashtheir kinetic energy (derived frommotion) itself is enough to destroyhardened and underground facilities
Two they fly at low altitudes thoughhigher than cruise missiles and aredifficult to detect by terrestrial or
land-based radars because of theirability to change course rapidlyUnlike ballistic and cruise missileswhich follow a defined trajectoryhypersonic missiles are highlymanoeuvrable thereby giving very lit-tle reaction time to the opponent tojudge which target is being hit Thisdelayed detection makes timelyresponse extremely difficult
HGV are fitted on ballistic missilerocket engines like DF-17 DF-21 DF-26 and even DF-41 ICBM and boostedAfter a certain boost phase the HGVdetaches itself from the rocket andglides towards its target 2000 kmaway in a wayward rather than adefined low flight trajectory
Senior officials from Raytheon Com-pany of the US recently told thiswriter at an international air show thatmeeting the hypersonic cruise missilechallenge would require new sensorsfor early detection Since terrestrial
sensors alone would not work theneed would be to have a mix of space-based and terrestrial sensors Theentire hypersonic missile defencearchitecture they said would requirehuge investments patience technolo-gy and technical expertise
Given the new missilersquos characteris-tics the DF-100 and DF-17 with HGVin PLA inventory would be a powerfulasymmetric capability For instance itwould be a national humiliation if theHGV were to hit and destroy Indiarsquosaircraft carrier Since India mdash familiarwith PLArsquos nuclear weapons invento-ry mdash is unlikely to raise the stakesChinarsquos new deterrence as well as dis-ruptive war-fighting capability wouldreside in its useable non-nuclear HGVIndiarsquos nuclear weapons purportedlydelivered by its submarines Agniseries ballistic missiles and aircraftwould on the other hand be rendereduseless against China
Such a possibility deserves an urgentreview both of Indiarsquos nuclear deter-rence against China and the indigenousBMD which despite the infusion ofhuge funds has unfortunately notdemonstrated satisfactory results In2011 the then Defence Research andDevelopment Organisation (DRDO)chief VK Saraswat had spelt out thetimelines to this writer for the accom-plishment of the BMD programme Hehad said that by 2013 phase one of theproject which involved successful inter-ception of hostile missiles with 2000-kmrange would be achieved Phase two ofthe programme which required neutral-isation of 5000-km range ballistic mis-siles would be done by 2015 the sameyear when the ballistic missile shieldwould become available for impreg-nable defence of the capital city of Delhiand major metropolises The purchaseof five units or regiments of Russian S-400 ADMS in 2016 is evidence thatSaraswat was doing kite-flying
Even the military should take itsportion of the blame Many DRDO sci-entists have told me that the militaryleadership unable to find or under-stand operational employment ofhypersonic missiles has shown littleinterest in their presentations WithPLA having showcased these missilesthe Defence Minister ought to take thebull by the horns A way forward is toseek Russian cooperation through thesuccessful BrahMos supersonic cruisemissile programme Given that Brah-Mos is Indiarsquos most successfuldefence programme has consistentlymet its timelines has been acceptedby the three defence services and hasgenerated employment and wealth itcould be the ideal vehicle for thedevelopment of hypersonic cruisemissiles and strengthening bilateralrelations between India and Russia
CUTTING EDGE Hypersonic missiles will be the new disruptive game-changing technology in this century

THE world was taken by surpriseon September 14 when thelargest Saudi oil processingplant at Abqaiq was hit by a
lsquoswarmrsquo of around 25 drones and somecruise missiles launched by the Houthirebels in Yemen one of the poorestcountries in the world The attackscaused extensive damage to the plantknocking out 60 per cent of the Saudi oilproduction and triggering a 20 per centspike in oil prices And the worldrsquosattention was thus suddenly focused onYemen and the Houthis an Islamic Zai-di Shia political and armed movementwhich has been fighting a lsquoforgottenrsquowar against Saudi Arabia and the UAEfor more than four years
The Yemeni war began in March 2015when Saudi forces invaded the countryto intervene in what was essentially adomestic dispute between the Houthisand the government of PresidentAbdrabbuh Mansur Hadi The Saudisinvaded Yemen because they viewedthe Houthis as Iranian proxies both ofthem being Shia The Houthis defeatedthe forces loyal to Hadi and capturedSanarsquoa the countryrsquos capital in Sep-tember 2014 In January 2015 Hadiresigned and later fled to Saudi Arabiawhere he presently lives in exile
The Saudi decision to invade Yemenwas taken by Mohammad bin Salman(MbS) the present Crown Prince of Sau-di Arabia To attack Yemen the Saudismobilised a coalition that included theUAE Egypt Jordan Morocco SudanKuwait Qatar and Bahrain But essen-tially it was the Saudi and Emirati
forces that were involved in the inva-sion which was also supported by theUS and the UK They providedweapons logistical support and target-ing information to the Saudis
The Wahhabi Saudis wanted a gov-ernment in Yemen that was not con-trolled by the Zaidi Shia HouthisThey also wanted to control Yemenrsquosoil and a pipeline from their oilfieldsto a harbour in Yemen which wouldhave enabled them to avoid the Iran-dominated Strait of Hormuz
The Saudis and the Emiratis expecteda quick victory against the Houthis whowere a rag-tag bunch of fighters withoutan organised army or sophisticatedweapons However they were highlymotivated agile innovative and knew
the terrain well The Saudis and theEmiratis on the other hand were poorfighters accustomed to the comforts oflife They could not match the Houthison the ground and soon resorted toindiscriminate bombing from the airkilling thousands of civilians
According to reliable estimatesaround 2 lakh Yemenis have died in thefighting including 1 lakh childrenunder the age of five from famine and acholera epidemic On some occasionsinternational aid was prevented fromreaching the Yemeni people by blockad-ing of the ports by the Saudis and theirallies And notably the self-styled glob-al lsquocustodiansrsquo of human rights werecomplicit in this genocidal war For thisreason it became a lsquoforgottenrsquo war
receiving very little media coverage TheUnited Nations has called it the biggesthumanitarian crisis on the planet
However the situation began tochange in May 2019 when the Houthislaunched drone attacks against someSaudi oil facilities That was followedon August 17 by a multiple droneattack on Shaybah a massive Saudi oiland gas field which is around 1200 kmfrom Houthi-controlled territory inYemen The drone attacks demonstrat-ed the vulnerability of the Saudi oilinfrastructure to the attacks by theHouthis and the range of their dronesand missiles Neither the Saudis northe Americans currently have any mis-sile or air defence systems that canoffer protection against such attacks
It is clear that drones have been agame-changer in Yemen One experthas called them ldquothe most disruptivemilitary technology yet conceivedrdquoThey are cheap costing only a few mil-lion dollars compared to the Saudiarsenal costing hundreds of billions ofdollars The Houthis are now makingtheir own drones based on Iraniandesigns and technical advice They arealso probably importing drones andcruise missiles from Iran
The Saudis have suffered anotherreversal in Yemen Their major ally theUAE pulled out of the war a few monthsago when the port of Aden in the Southfell to the Southern Transitional Coun-cil a separatist group backed by theUAE This has infuriated the Saudis butthey have not been able to do much
The Saudis and the Americans have
blamed Iran for the September 14attack on Abqaiq instead of the Houthiswho have claimed responsibility for itIran has denied any role in the attackThe US is unlikely to attack Iran but ifit does it could set the whole regionon fire That could adversely affectalmost seven million people of Indianorigin who work in the Gulf and remitbillions of dollars to India
On September 20 the US announcedthat it was sending troops and more mis-sile defence systems such as Patriot andTHAAD (Terminal High Altitude AreaDefence ) to Saudi Arabia However theyare unlikely to be effective against low-flying drones which can only be stoppedby short-range Russian systems such asPantsyr-S1 and the BUK-2 which theRussians have used to defend their basein Syria against similar attacks
On September 28 the Houthis dealtanother blow to the Saudis by launch-ing a ground attack within Saudi terri-tory near Najran in which three Saudibrigades were defeated and hundredsof soldiers were either killed woundedor captured The operation demonstrat-ed that Saudi Arabia was vulnerable toair and ground attack by the Houthis
The asymmetrical warfare fought bythe Houthis appears to have broughtSaudi Arabia to its knees The WallStreet Journal reported on August 28that the Trump administration waspreparing to initiate negotiations withthe Houthis to end the war in Yemen Itremains to be seen when or if that hap-pens But one thing is clear The war inYemen is no longer lsquoforgottenrsquo

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them
lsquoWe saved our land from catastrophersquo
TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

Nurpur October 3With drug trafficking in the inter-state border areasof lower Kangra districtcomprising Nurpur andIndora subdivisions risingthe state government hasturned a ldquoblind eyerdquo to theNurpur de-addiction-cum-rehabilitation centre
Set up during the previousCongress regime and inau-gurated by then CM Virb-hadra Singh on January 122017 the centre is run by theKangra district Red Cross
Society The skeleton staffhere has failed to run thecentre effectively
Surprisingly the centrehas no doctor or psychia-
trist As per informationthe centre is run by just aproject coordinator a coun-selor a pharmacist and asafai karamchari The
recent suicide by a 64-year-old man addicted to alcoholhas now put a questionmark on the safety ofinmates and the staff
deployed at the centre Asthere is no watchman or asecurity guard it is fearedthat such unsavory inci-dents can recur
Set up in the OBC hostelbuilding the centre canadmit 10 addicts at a timebut its full capacity couldnever be used for want ofrequisite staff Centre incharge-cum-project coordi-nator Amit Kumar admittedthat the centre was unableto admit more than fiveaddicts at a time and thewaiting list of addicts hadalways been quite long
ldquoThe working environ-ment is unsafe too as thestaff is always under threatof being attacked by theinmates who turn aggres-sive on being denied syn-thetic drugs or intoxi-cantsrdquo he said
As the centre is locatednear the border of PunjabHimachal Pradesh and Jam-mu amp Kashmir where drugtrafficking is on the risedespite registration of casesunder the NDPS Act thedemand for better facilitiesand more staff has been gain-ing momentum
Nurpur de-addiction centre a victim of admn apathyHas no doctor | Run by Kangra Red Cross Society NGOs want Health Department to take it over
Just 4 employees Set up during the Congressregime and inaugurated bythen CM Virbhadra Singh onJanuary 12 2017 the centre isrun by just a project coordina-tor a counselor a pharmacistand a safari karamchari Set up in the OBC hostelbuilding the centre can admit10 addicts at a time but its fullcapacity could never be used

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

link their loan products to anexternal benchmark like reporate for the faster transmissionof reduction in policy rates toborrowers from October 1
Ahead of the meeting theDas-headed Financial Stabil-ity and Development Council(FSDC) sub-committee tookstock of the prevailing macro-economic situation
Earlier the RBI Governorhad said the government hadlittle fiscal space giving hopethat the bank may providemore monetary stimulus toprop up the economy The gov-ernmentrsquos fiscal space hasbeen squeezed on account ofcut in the rates of corporate taxas well as lowering of the GSTrate on various goods Rev-enue collection too has beenbelow the Budget estimates
Experts are of the opinionthat another rate cut is on thecards as the governmentrsquoshands are tied and the onusof taking initiatives now restswith the central bank mdash PTI

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

Srinagar October 3Kashmiris displayed theirextraordinary sense of collec-tive responsibility in savingtheir Vale from the repeat ofthe 2016-like situation or evenworse There were all chancesof it becoming one had theyprotested in streets andclashed with troopers
ldquoThey thought we wouldtake to the streets and pelttroopers with stones to engi-neer mayhem We did notallow that to happenrdquo BilalAhmad a university stu-dent spoke in a maturedfashion rather than onebursting with emotions
Everyone in the establish-ment here who is from out-side the Vale admires thehigh sense of the politicalconsciousness and intelli-gence of Kashmiris ldquoTheyare politically alive and intel-ligent people perhaps thekind of which we may notfind in any other part of thecountryrdquo commented an offi-cer who has been here forover past three decades
And when the troops hadstarted landing in huge num-bers in Kashmir in the lastweek of July Kashmir wasagog with rumours whichlater turned out to be truethat something big was in theoffing The common percep-tion was that it would not begood for people of Kashmirwhich was seeded in theirmind by politicians now seenas relics of a goneby era
While the authorities arecrediting themselves havingplanned measures in such amanner that ensured thatnothing would go wrongKashmiris have their ownstory to tell of their restraintand reasonableness Theypreferred to avoid confronta-tion and clashes on thestreets is the narrative thatdemonstrates that they arenot suffering from the senseof defeat with which some
nationalistic media is por-traying them after the scrap-ping of Article 370 and 35A
Kashmiris are intelligentThey claim that they haveshown to the entire worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised
They had factored in somekind of onslaught on theirspecial status under Article370 and Article 35A Theyknew that confrontationwould mean catastropheThis dreadful thought wasbased on rumours likeldquoanything can happenrdquo ifthe streets were to eruptThey did not oblige thetrouble-makers
The body language of thetroopers with assault riflesslung on their shouldersmade it clear that they didnrsquotwant any trouble around Thetrouble had its consequencesThe mere presence of thetroops had a meaning thatconfrontation would be metwith harsher consequences
A teenager Asif Dar
admitted that the thingswere ldquoharshrdquo but therecould have been harsherconsequences had thesecurity arrangementsthat were put in place notbeen there ldquoThe authori-ties had their way we hadours but the main thingis that we didnrsquot courttrouble and smear ourland with bloodrdquo
ldquoThis was a preventivemeasurerdquo the governmentofficials have repeated it adnauseam They had drawntheir lessons as theyclaimed from the 2016unrest In hindsight the twosituations have no parallelKashmir had erupted in2016 after the killing of mil-itant commander BurhanWani who had weaponisedsocial media and no oneknew about his fatal enduntil it happened on July 82016 Thereafter it was aspontaneous reaction
This time the governmenthad anticipated cascades ofbacklash It had taken all pre-ventive measures fromarrests of political leaders tochronic stone throwers busi-
nessmen and anyone whohad caused trouble in thepast or had the potential to doso It was linked to the deci-sion on August 5 The prepa-rations had been made muchbefore the ldquoDecision dayrdquo ofscrapping the special statusof Jammu and Kashmir
Massive protests and theinitial killing of at least 20youngsters in the first fewhours set a cycle in motionof the clashes and casualtiesin 2016 That cycle of vio-lence halted after Kashmirhad reeled under coerciveshutdown for three monthsand the casualty figure stag-gered close to 100
Tourists fled and so did pil-grims in 2016 but no one hadasked them to pack off andgo This time the things wereplanned much beforendash thegovernment ordered the pil-grims and tourists to leave atthe earliest on August 2 atleast a fortnight before thescheduled conclusion of theAmarnath pilgrimage
The ubiquitous presence oftroops inspired scare Kash-miris chose pragmatism thistime They for too had learnttheir lessons from 2016 it waspointless to take to the streetsand fulfil the designs of ene-mies of Kashmir who wantedmore graves Pakistan isexactly looking for this kindof bloodbath in the Valley
Troopers did not usetheir guns was one factorbut the Kashmiris also didnot offer them theextreme provocation to doso And when they saw thewhole of the Indian nationcelebrating the August 5decision they understoodthe consequences of stand-ing up to the Indian mightand mood They appliedtheir common sense not tothrow their land in the spi-ralling bloodshed That iswhere they succeeded in sav-ing their land and fellowKashmiris from the troublethat could have visited them
lsquoWe saved our land from catastrophersquo
TURNING ADVERSITY INTO VIRTUE When the troops had
started landing in hugenumbers in Kashmir in thelast week of July Kashmirwas agog with rumourswhich later turned out tobe true that somethingbig was in the offing
Kashmiris claim that theyhave shown to the worldhow adversity can be con-verted into a virtue Hadthey indulged in clashestheir argument of loss ofpolitical identity wouldhave been neutralised

The development has leftthe ruling party embarrassedas its senior leaders wereconfident of placating her
Pyari who met Chief Min-ister Jai Ram Thakur inShimla yesterday hadalmost made up her mind towithdraw from the contestbut this was not accepted byher family and supporters
Her husband Prithvi Singhand her father-in-law said noother candidate was accept-able to the people She
deserved ticket and wouldcontest as an Independent
Dayal Pyari talking to medi-apersons said though she wastorn between the party andthe supporters she would payheed to latter and said shewould begin campaigningafter paying obeisance at theJatoli temple here
She reiterated that herfight was not against the par-ty but against the dictatorial
attitude of a few leaders ofher area and claimed that shewould emerge victorious
She was taken into a carby her supporters towardsSirmaur before she couldbe poached by BJP leadersShe began her campaigninglater in the day
The BJP got a partial reliefas its senior leaders man-aged to pacify rebel AshishSikta who withdrew his
nomination He howeverencountered strong resent-ment from his supporters atRajgarh where Sikta firstheld a meeting and thenwithdrew his nomination

Nurpur October 3With drug trafficking in the inter-state border areasof lower Kangra districtcomprising Nurpur andIndora subdivisions risingthe state government hasturned a ldquoblind eyerdquo to theNurpur de-addiction-cum-rehabilitation centre
Set up during the previousCongress regime and inau-gurated by then CM Virb-hadra Singh on January 122017 the centre is run by theKangra district Red Cross
Society The skeleton staffhere has failed to run thecentre effectively
Surprisingly the centrehas no doctor or psychia-
trist As per informationthe centre is run by just aproject coordinator a coun-selor a pharmacist and asafai karamchari The
recent suicide by a 64-year-old man addicted to alcoholhas now put a questionmark on the safety ofinmates and the staff
deployed at the centre Asthere is no watchman or asecurity guard it is fearedthat such unsavory inci-dents can recur
Set up in the OBC hostelbuilding the centre canadmit 10 addicts at a timebut its full capacity couldnever be used for want ofrequisite staff Centre incharge-cum-project coordi-nator Amit Kumar admittedthat the centre was unableto admit more than fiveaddicts at a time and thewaiting list of addicts hadalways been quite long
ldquoThe working environ-ment is unsafe too as thestaff is always under threatof being attacked by theinmates who turn aggres-sive on being denied syn-thetic drugs or intoxi-cantsrdquo he said
As the centre is locatednear the border of PunjabHimachal Pradesh and Jam-mu amp Kashmir where drugtrafficking is on the risedespite registration of casesunder the NDPS Act thedemand for better facilitiesand more staff has been gain-ing momentum

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

Ahead of the meeting theDas-headed Financial Stabil-ity and Development Council(FSDC) sub-committee tookstock of the prevailing macro-economic situation
Earlier the RBI Governorhad said the government hadlittle fiscal space giving hopethat the bank may providemore monetary stimulus toprop up the economy The gov-ernmentrsquos fiscal space hasbeen squeezed on account ofcut in the rates of corporate taxas well as lowering of the GSTrate on various goods Rev-enue collection too has beenbelow the Budget estimates

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

Ross also made it clear thatdespite its reservations aboutthe security aspect the US
was not trying to force India towalk away from 5G technolo-gy by Chinese companies
Speaking on the sidelines ofan international meet that wasalso attended by Ross Com-merce Minister Piyush Goyalruled out any change in Indiarsquos

The new rules bar foreign e-commerce companies fromselling products via firms inwhich they have an equityinterest and also from makingdeals with sellers to sell exclu-sively on their platforms

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

RBI Governor ShaktikantaDas has already hinted thatbenign inflation providesroom for further monetarypolicy easing while space forfiscal space is limited
The government hasannounced a series of meas-ures including steepest cut incorporate tax rollback ofenhanced surcharge on theForeign Portfolio Investorsamong others to jump-startgrowth which hit a six-year lowof 5 per cent during the firstquarter of the current fiscal
The six-member monetarypolicy committee (MPC) isscheduled to announce thefourth bi-monthly monetarypolicy for 2019-20 on Fridayafter a three-day meeting
There was no meeting ofthe panel on October 2 onaccount of Mahatma GandhiJayanti The bank hasalready slashed repo ratefour times consecutively thisyear amounting to 110 basispoints in aggregate
At its last meeting in Augustthe MPC reduced the bench-mark lending rate by anunusual 35 basis points to 540per cent The upcoming MPCmeeting comes in the backdropof RBIrsquos mandate to banks to
link their loan products to anexternal benchmark like reporate for the faster transmissionof reduction in policy rates toborrowers from October 1
Ahead of the meeting theDas-headed Financial Stabil-ity and Development Council(FSDC) sub-committee tookstock of the prevailing macro-economic situation
Earlier the RBI Governorhad said the government hadlittle fiscal space giving hopethat the bank may providemore monetary stimulus toprop up the economy The gov-ernmentrsquos fiscal space hasbeen squeezed on account ofcut in the rates of corporate taxas well as lowering of the GSTrate on various goods Rev-enue collection too has beenbelow the Budget estimates

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

New Delhi October 3The Trump-Modi bonhomieat Houston and New Yorkcould not translate into a tradeagreement during US Com-merce Secretary Wilbur Rossrsquoongoing visit to India
Ross also gave the impres-sion that US President DonaldTrumprsquos presence at ldquoHowdyModirdquo event was a favour to theNew Delhi administration andmade it clear this physical prox-imity between the two leadersdid not dispel the WhiteHousersquos impression that Indianeeded to dismantle barriersthat made its tariff among thehighest in the world
Ross also made it clear thatdespite its reservations aboutthe security aspect the US
was not trying to force India towalk away from 5G technolo-gy by Chinese companies
Speaking on the sidelines ofan international meet that wasalso attended by Ross Com-merce Minister Piyush Goyalruled out any change in Indiarsquos
stand on e-commerce in order toprotect livelihood of 12-13 croreIndians dependent on retail
The new rules bar foreign e-commerce companies fromselling products via firms inwhich they have an equityinterest and also from makingdeals with sellers to sell exclu-sively on their platforms
India and the US have beenindulging in a low-intensitytrade warfare The US hasremoved India from availing ofduty-free exports worth $56 bil-lion under the generalised sys-tem of preferences (GSP)scheme and both have imposedhigher tariffs on 28 of theirproducts In an interview Rossreportedly indicated the UScould look at partial restorationof the GSP withdrawal in agrand bargain for a trade deal

Chandigarh October 3Fearing loss to small andmarginal farmers dairycooperatives in Punjab andHaryana have expressedreservation over the inclu-sion of dairy products in theRegional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership(RCEP) pact
The cooperatives appre-hend that import of cheapermilk and dairy productswould adversely hit thelivelihood of lakhs of farm-ers in the two states withimporters and traders dom-inating the market
The government is con-templating finalising theRCEP a trade block whichincludes the 10-countryASEAN China IndiaJapan South Korea Aus-tralia and New Zealandby the end of this year
New Zealand and Aus-tralia particularly are nego-tiating very hard withIndia to reduce duty ondairy products so that theycan get an access to Indiawhich is the worlds largestmarket of dairy products
ldquoThe signing of theRCEP will be a big blow tothe dairy farmers as itwould lead to reduction inthe procurement price ofmilk from farmers due tocheap imported milk pow-der from New Zealandsaid Karnail Singh a dairyfarmer from Amritsar
Dairy cooperatives feelthat procurement pricewould come down drastical-ly if imports are allowedthrough the RCEP as therewould be no tariff barrier
ldquoWe fears that cheaperimports will have repercus-sions across the value chainsAs imports will be cheapermany traders will startimporting cheap dairy prod-ucts virtually putting farmersout of the professionrdquo said asenior official from Milkfed
The average daily pro-duction of milk in thesetwo states is around 460lakh litres As far as Punjabis concerned the daily pro-
duction is around 307 lakhlitres Out of the total milkproduced in rural andsemi-urban areas 50 percent is marketable surplusOf this surplus aroundhalf of the milk sold is han-dled by the organised sec-tor comprising dairy coop-eratives such as MilkfedsVerka and private dairycompanies and the rest bythe unorganised sector
Similarly in Haryana thedaily production is 156 lakhlitres Out of the total pro-duction 70 per cent of themilk is self-consumed byfarmers and the remaining30 per cent is marketable
surplus Further around 39lakh litres (25 per cent) arebeing handled by HaryanaDairy Development Cooper-ative Federation Ltd Therest of the quantity is beingprocessed by private dairyprocessors and sweet shops
Dairy cooperatives in theirrepresentation to the min-istry apprehend that cheap-er imports will push India toremain dependant onimports for dairy products
ldquoMilk producers andprocessors have made pres-entation to the Centre pro-jecting repercussions andrequesting it not to includemilk productsrdquo said SSKohli CGM Vita
The farmers apprehendthe step would halvedairy farmersrsquo income asthey will be forced toleave farming

Ahead of the meeting theDas-headed Financial Stabil-ity and Development Council(FSDC) sub-committee tookstock of the prevailing macro-economic situation
Earlier the RBI Governorhad said the government hadlittle fiscal space giving hopethat the bank may providemore monetary stimulus toprop up the economy The gov-ernmentrsquos fiscal space hasbeen squeezed on account ofcut in the rates of corporate taxas well as lowering of the GSTrate on various goods Rev-enue collection too has beenbelow the Budget estimates

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

New Delhi October 3The Professional WrestlingLeague owners Pro Sporti-fy have sent a notice to theWrestling Federation ofIndia (WFI) for ldquobreach ofagreementrdquo
In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee
Kushti Dangal whichaccording to Pro Sportifywas malicious ldquohellipThelaunch of the said ZeeKushti Dangal was held on23rd September 2019 at NewDelhi What is even moresurprising is that the launchevent was not only attendedby you but you also partici-pated in the press confer-ence with Mr Mukund Cairethe COO of ZEEL Further-more in the press confer-ence you made a statementthat both Pro WrestlingLeague and Zee Kushti Dan-
gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
Interestingly the WFI hadserved the rights holder a ter-mination notice in 2016 forseveral violations includingnon-payment of rights feeand delayed payments madeto both wrestlers and techni-cal staff

New Delhi October 3The Trump-Modi bonhomieat Houston and New Yorkcould not translate into a tradeagreement during US Com-merce Secretary Wilbur Rossrsquoongoing visit to India
Ross also gave the impres-sion that US President DonaldTrumprsquos presence at ldquoHowdyModirdquo event was a favour to theNew Delhi administration andmade it clear this physical prox-imity between the two leadersdid not dispel the WhiteHousersquos impression that Indianeeded to dismantle barriersthat made its tariff among thehighest in the world
Ross also made it clear thatdespite its reservations aboutthe security aspect the US
was not trying to force India towalk away from 5G technolo-gy by Chinese companies
Speaking on the sidelines ofan international meet that wasalso attended by Ross Com-merce Minister Piyush Goyalruled out any change in Indiarsquos
stand on e-commerce in order toprotect livelihood of 12-13 croreIndians dependent on retail

In a letter addressed toWFI president Brij BhushanSharan Singh the rightsholders have raised theirobjection to what they see asa gross oversight by thesports body to sanction thelaunch of a rival league Zee

gal can coexist You also stat-ed that Zee Kushti Dangaland Pro Wrestling Leaguehave different formats andscoperdquo the notice sent bythe legal head of Pro Sporti-fy Dinesh Bant said
ldquoWe have analysed the for-mat of Zee Kushti Dangaland compared it to the ProWrestling League there is nodifference between the for-mats of the two tournamentsAs such it appears that beingconscious of the fact that itsactions clearly tantamount tobreach of the agreement theWFI has attempted to camou-flage this blatant breach bychanging the nomenclatureof the league being launchedby ZEEL That the ZeeKushti Dangal is the same asthe Pro Wrestling League is
evident from the fact that MrCaire of ZEEL referred to ZeeKushti Dangal as thelsquo Leaguersquo several times dur-ing the press conferenceThis makes it evidently clearthat while the proposed tour-nament is in the league for-mat it has only been namedlsquoDangalrsquo to circumvent theexclusivity rights retained byPro Sportifyrdquo it added
Pro Sportify Private Limit-ed had signed a 15-year con-tract with the WFI and it cit-ed clause 94 of thecommercial rights agree-
ment to cite the violationsWFI president Singh wasunavailable for commentsHowever it is understoodthat the body was unper-turbed with the developmentas it feels it was in a strongbargaining position shouldthe matter go to the courts
