Rajya Sabha chairperson Kharge writes an emotional letter in honor of former prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. Details are available here!

Former Prime Minister of India Dr Manmohan Singh on Wednesday will retire from the Rajya Sabha, putting an end to his three-decade-long parliamentary innings in the Upper House.

The development is just as former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi is set to mark her debut in the Rajya Sabha. Sonia Gandhi will enter the Upper House of Parliament from Rajasthan filling the seat left vacant by Dr Singh.

On this occasion, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge penned an emotional letter to the former Prime Minister of India. In his letter, Kharge said that an era came to an end with Singh’s retirement.

He also said that Manmohan Singh will remain a “hero” to the middle class and aspirational youth. He also hailed the former Prime Minister as a “leader and guide to the industrialists and entrepreneurs, and a benefactor to all those poor who were able to climb out of poverty due to your economic policies.”

Kharge also claimed that the foundation of the “little reforms done by the current government” lies the work initiated by the UPA government. He listed out initiatives like creating zero-balance bank accounts, Aadhaar cards, and deregulation of petrol and diesel prices.

Full text of Mallikarjun Kharge’s letter to Manmohan Singh

An era ends today as you retire from the Rajya Sabha, having served for almost thirty years. There are very few who can claim to have served our country with greater devotion and dedication than you. You have done more for this country and its citizens than most others have.

Being a member of your cabinet has been an honor for me. You have been an inspiration to me and someone I have respected for guidance over the past ten years as the head of the Congress Party in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Despite personal inconveniences, you have made it a point to be available for the Congress party during the past few years. The party and I will always be appreciative of this.

You have shown that economic policies can be adopted that benefit big industry, young people starting their firms, small businesses, the salaried class, and the impoverished equally. You were the one who demonstrated that even the impoverished can contribute to the development of their country and escape poverty. During your tenure as Prime Minister, India managed to bring 27 crore people out of poverty, the largest number of impoverished people in the world. This was made possible by your policies.

During difficult times, rural workers continue to receive assistance from the MGNREGA program, which was started under your administration. Through this program, you have made sure that the country, and especially the rural poor, may live with dignity and earn a living. For this, they will always be grateful.

The patriotic legacy of the Congress party and its spirit of sacrifice was ably demonstrated by you when you decided to pursue the Indo-US Nuclear Deal even if it meant putting your government at risk for the sake of the nation’s security. This was a historic moment when you led India to take her rightful place in the world and you showed your strength as an uncompromising negotiator.

The respect and regard that the Presidents of the United States and other world leaders had for you made this possible. Their respect for you further increased during the Global Financial Crisis. I remember President Obama mentioning to you that “Whenever the Indian Prime Minister speaks, the whole world listens to him.” These are only a few instances that I am mentioning out of your many contributions to the nation.

We live in times that are largely shaped by you. The economic prosperity and stability that we enjoy today are built on the foundations laid by you along with our former Prime Minister, Bharat Ratna, Shri P.V. Narasimha Rao. The current set of leaders who have reaped the benefits of your work are reluctant to credit you due to political biases.

They seem to go out of their way to speak ill about you and make personal attacks against you. However, we also know that you are large-hearted enough not to hold that against anyone. 

Whatever little reforms done by the current government have their seeds in the work initiated by the UPA government headed by you. The work initiated by your government to ensure the direct transfer of benefits to individual beneficiaries by creating zero balance accounts, and unique identification of the beneficiary through Aadhaar was hijacked by the succeeding government without giving you credit.

In some cases, the good work initiated by you seems to be slowly undone. The difficult work of deregulation of petrol and diesel prices done by you seems to have been completely undone by the current government. The current government is levying high taxes on the common man, while oil companies are enjoying the benefits of low oil prices. Yet another area where the government has regressed is the increasing economic inequality and a growing number of people who are forced to seek subsistence from the government.

The nation misses the quiet yet strong dignity that you brought to the office of the Prime Minister. The Parliament will now miss your wisdom and experience. Your dignified, measured, soft-spoken yet statesman-like words are in contrast to the loud voices filled with lies that signify the current politics. The current political situation is such that unscrupulousness is being equated with astute leadership.

I still recall your speech on demonetization which you termed a “monumental management failure” and “an organized loot and legalized plunder”, which has proved to be a grim reality. You showed it is possible to criticize without getting personal. The nation and the people will soon see through the lies of the current government. Just like how the sun and the moon can never be hidden, the truth can also never be hidden. People will realize the importance of your words soon.

You will always remain a hero to the middle class and the aspirational youth, a leader and guide to the industrialists and entrepreneurs, and a benefactor to all those poor who were able to climb out of poverty due to your economic policies.

Even as you retire from active politics, I hope that you will continue to be the voice of wisdom and moral compass to the nation by speaking to the citizens of our country as often as possible. I wish you peace, health, and happiness.

A man from the UK enters a guilty plea to stealing a gold toilet valued at Rs 50 crore; information inside

A man acknowledges damaging the installation of a £4.8 million solid gold toilet that he stole from Blenheim Palace.

A bold heist has shook Blenheim Palace’s ancient corridors, as a man has admitted to stealing an elaborately designed solid gold toilet known as “America,” which is said to be worth ₹50 crore (£4.8 million). This bold theft that took place in September 2019 during an art exhibition made headlines across the globe.

Nestled in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, Blenheim Palace is a stately rural house with a rich history spanning over three centuries. Interestingly, Winston Churchill, a significant character in British history, was born there.

The culprit, a 39-year-old Wellingborough resident named James “Jimmy” Sheen, entered a guilty plea to the Oxford Crown Court’s charges of burglary, handling stolen property, and conspiracy to conduct burglary. The restroom, an exquisite eighteen-carat work of art created by well-known Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, was not only an artwork but also a working fixture that was on display. But unanticipated events following its installation resulted in flooding and harmed the palace’s centuries-old infrastructure.

Sheen is currently serving a heavy 17-year sentence for a spate of robberies, including the theft of tractors and prizes valued at £400,000 from the National Horse Racing Museum. His criminal exploits go beyond this blatant heist.

Sheen has come forward, but the other three people connected to the golden toilet scandal have not admitted any wrongdoing and will go on trial in February 2025.

There have been other strange stories in the media about golden toilets before this one. A Hong Kong jeweler debuted a stunning gold toilet at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai in 2019. With a staggering $1.3 million in value, this bathroom exuded unimaginable luxury and had a glass toilet seat.

and set with an incredible 40,815 little diamonds. Even if they are ostentatious, these situations highlight the attraction and interest of these uncommon and opulent fittings.

A “Strongest Earthquake In 25 Years” strikes Taiwan, leaving one dead and sixty injured.

Authorities declared that the earthquake and its subsequent powerful aftershocks were the worst to hit the island in decades and issued a warning of additional tremors in the days to come.

A strong earthquake in Taiwan on Wednesday caused damage to dozens of buildings, triggered tsunami warnings that reached to Japan and the Philippines before being lifted, and at least one person was thought to be dead and almost sixty injured. Authorities declared that the earthquake and its subsequent powerful aftershocks were the worst to hit the island in decades and issued a warning of additional tremors in the days to come.

“The earthquake is shallow and occurs near land. The director of Taipei’s Central Weather Administration’s Seismology Center, Wu Chien-fu, stated that the earthquake was felt throughout Taiwan including offshore islands.

Given that the island is located close to the meeting point of two tectonic plates, strict building codes and disaster awareness seem to have prevented a significant tragedy.

Wu stated that the earthquake was the strongest since a 7.6-magnitude one that occurred in September 1999, the deadliest natural disaster in the history of the island, killing around 2,400 people.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimated that the epicentre of Wednesday’s magnitude 7.4 earthquake was 34.8 kilometers deep and located 18 kilometers (11 miles) south of Hualien City, Taiwan. The earthquake occurred immediately before 8:00 am local time (0000 GMT).

“I wanted to flee, but I had no clothes on. That was really powerful,” remarked Kelvin Hwang, a visitor to a hotel in Taipei’s capital who sought take cover in the ninth-floor elevator lobby.

Shared videos and pictures of buildings trembling around the nation went viral on social media as soon as the earthquake occurred.

After it ended, dramatic pictures of multi-story buildings in Hualien and other places tilting over were broadcast on local television.

There have been reports of landslides blocking roads leading to Hualien, a 100,000-person coastal city surrounded by mountains.

One person on a hiking trail was reportedly crushed to death by a loose boulder, according to the Central Emergency Operations Center, which also stated that about 60 individuals had received treatment for injuries sustained during the earthquake.

Authorities in Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines first issued a tsunami warning, however the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center declared that the threat had “largely passed” by around 10 am (0200 GMT).

The metro in the nation’s capital briefly stopped operating but soon resumed, and local borough leaders issued cautions to citizens to check for any gas leaks.

Because Taiwan is located close to the meeting point of two tectonic plates, it is frequently struck by earthquakes; Japan, to the north, receives about 1,500 shockwaves annually.

Social media users in the eastern Chinese province of Fujian, which borders the southern province of Guangdong, as well as other places, reported feeling powerful earthquakes across the Taiwan Strait.

According to state news agency Xinhua, China, which views self-ruled Taiwan as a colony gone wild, was “paying close attention” to the earthquake and “willing to provide disaster relief assistance”.

Even though the bulk of the earthquakes in the region are small, the harm they cause vary depending on the location and depth of the epicenter under the surface of the Earth.

The power of tsunamis, which are enormous, potentially catastrophic waves that can travel hundreds of kilometers per hour, is also dependent on a number of variables.

The largest recorded earthquake in Japan occurred in March 2011 off the northeast coast of the country and measured 9.0 magnitude. The earthquake caused a tsunami that killed or left over 18,500 people missing.

The Fukushima nuclear facility experienced the biggest post-war disaster in Japan and the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl as a result of the 2011 tragedy, which also caused three reactors to melt down.

Japan saw a major quake on New Year’s Day this year, when a 7.5-magnitude tremor hit the Noto Peninsula and killed more than 230 people, many of them when older buildings collapsed.

But you just can’t turn around and attack the BJP on some false allegation or false narrative in the hope that the questions that are being asked will not be asked.

To Put It Briefly

  • Riyan Parag remained unbeaten at 54 to help RR win vs MI
  • Riyan Parag has been crowned as the new Orange Cap holder in IPL
  • Riyan explained the changes that he has made to get consistent at the IPL level

On Monday, April 1, at the Wankhede Stadium, teenage player Riyan Parag of Rajasthan played a mature innings of 54 not out against Mumbai. With his second straight fifty in the Indian Premier League, Parag overtook Virat Kohli as the highest run-scorer and took the Orange Cap.

In his detailed speech, Parag discussed the adjustments he had made to his strategy in front of the 2024 tournament season, stating that by streamlining his approach, he was seeing positive results. Parag finished the 2023 Indian Premier League with a total of 78 runs from 7 matches, however, he received a lot of backlash on social media for his antics.

Parag turned a corner in the 2024 season with the new No. 4 role in the Rajasthan side, where he came out early in all three matches.

Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) all Latest Update

In an interview with the broadcaster, Parag claimed that having the same job helped him succeed in the home circuit, where he had great success in the 2023 season. In fact, Parag became the first cricket player to score six consecutive half-centuries in Twenty20 matches.

To be honest, my batting isn’t outstanding. Rather than overdoing it, I keep things simple. In the past, I used to overthink things and try various approaches when I wasn’t getting runs. After the game, Riyan Parag stated, “This year, I’m keeping it simple: watch the ball and hit the ball.”

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

The player acknowledged that his prior seasons’ performances had fallen short of expectations and that he had come to the realization that his pre-IPL practise methods were the problem.

“I was not participating in the IPL for three or four years. When you know you can succeed and the results are not showing up, you actually return to the hotel room and consider going back to the drawing room. I went and practised at this level after realising I wasn’t. I spent a lot of practise with these specific types of balls (pace, seam, swing, and other elements that appear in higher levels), which is why I was able to achieve the outcomes and performances,” Parag said.

After the fifty, Parag’s amazing average of 181.00 from 3 matches presently stands at 181 runs.

Conclusion

In an interesting IPL 2024 match between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), Hardik Pandya came under increasing strain as Mumbai lost for the third time in a row. MI faced a strong push against RR and was unable to end their losing skid despite their best efforts. The game highlighted the fierce rivalry and unpredictable nature of the Indian Premier League. Mumbai is assessing its tactics and individual player performances, and it is clear that one of its main players, Hardik Pandya, would be under more pressure to perform well in the next games. As teams compete for spots in the tournament, the road ahead promises more turns and turns, making every game an exciting spectacle for cricket fans across the world.

Threat from avian flu increases: second incidence of human infection in the US, first in Texas

Texas reports the first human case of highly dangerous avian flu; the CDC guarantees dairy products are safe.

The United States has confirmed a second human case of Avian Flu, better known as bird flu, which is rapidly spreading. According to Texas officials, one of the state’s citizens got the flu after having close contact with cows that were contaminated. The announcement was made one week after the USDA identified cases of avian flu in mammals in Washington, Kentucky, and Montana.

The Texas Department of State Health Services declared on April 1st that a patient who had contact with dairy cows thought to be infected with the virus was diagnosed with avian influenza. Conjunctivitis, sometimes known as “pink eye,” was the patient’s main complaint. The possibility for the general public, which is still low, is unaffected by the current case, which entailed direct contact with probable infected livestock, according to TDSHS.

Second Avian Flu case in US

The Texas official stated that this was the first reported case of the highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza in humans in the state and the second in the U.S. after an individual in Colorado was reported to be infected with H5N1 after direct contact with infected poultry.

Concern is raised by animal cases of avian flu.
On March 29, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a joint statement. They claimed that there is no need for concern about dairy products’ safety in the US. The organizations clarified that pasteurization—which takes place before to these items being sold—is adequate to guarantee their safety. In the past, American officials had alerted the public about the possibility of a surge in the highly virulent avian influenza (H5N1) cases that are currently spreading among marine animals.

Can humans get the bird flu?
Although there have been two confirmed instances of bird flu in people thus far, there is still little risk that the illness will spread widely. The Asian branch of the bird flu virus (H7N9) and the highly deadly avian influenza A(H5N1) virus are responsible for the majority of human infections caused by avian influenza viruses worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Symptoms of Avian Flu in humans

Symptoms of Avian Flu in humans include mild fever, conjunctivitis, cough, sore throat, muscle or body aches, headaches, and in some cases, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
