CJP to launch 'Kya bolti public' campaign next month, says Dipke
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Aug 6: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) will launch a 'Kya bolti public' campaign next month to interact with people all over India and to get to know their issues, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said on Thursday. Addressing a press conference after the conclusion of the CJP's core team meeting in his hometown Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in Maharashtra, he also said the CJP wants to act as a pressure group and change the country's political discourse by highlighting the issues of education and unemployment. The CJP core team had been holding talks at Dipke's residence since Wednesday. On the occasion, it was announced that Dipke will be the convenor of the CJP, while chief spokesperson Saurav Das and spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka will be its co-convenors. Dipke said, During the 'Kya bolti public' campaign, we will get to know what people think of the present situation in the country and what the issues they face are. Because it is the time to listen to the public. We have decided not to repeat the mistakes committed earlier. Nobody wants to talk about the expectations, dreams and hopes of Gen Z. They were dismissed. Majority of the country's population is young, who are going to run the country in future. Therefore, no policy decision should be taken without consulting them. We will undertake an exercise for stakeholders' consultation to understand their issues, he said. Describing Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation as the biggest achievement of the students' agitation, Dipke said, The fear which this government created in the last 10-12 years in the minds of people has now ended...The youth of the country got their voice back.'' People will now come onto the streets. Today, they have sought resignation of one person; tomorrow they will demand resignations of others, he said. CJP will operate as per Dr B R Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Nehru's vision for a developed India. Our ideology is the same as the Constitution of India, Dipke added. Protests led by CJP at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi last month over the NEET paper leak and other exam irregularities led to Pradhan resigning as the Union education minister. There were not only students but also jobless youngsters who participated in the Jantar Mantar protest, Dipke said. Unemployment is a major problem; we will make it a nationwide issue. We will work on education reforms. Education has remained unaffordable since schooling. Today, education (sector) is being used for making profits. But we want to change it, he said. Sixty per cent of people in the country are below the age of 35 and there were protesters from this age group at Jantar Mantar also, Dipke noted. CJP wants to change the political discourse and wants that the issues of education and unemployment should be discussed. It will act as a pressure group and continue to work on the issues of the youth and education, he said. As a pressure group, we want to change the political discourse. In Uttar Pradesh, political discourse is about 'shamshan bhumi' (crematoriums) and 'kabrastan' (cemetery), while in Maharashtra, they talk about 'batoge to katoge' (if you divide, you will be destroyed). But this talk will not provide jobs or good education to anyone. Therefore, we want the political discourse to be about education and unemployment, he said. Educational reforms will be the priority of the CJP, he said, adding that the country was lagging behind because education is not a priority of the political parties and also of those in the government. We want educational reforms as education in the country has become unaffordable. The government has shut 94,000 schools when they should have been upgraded or renovated. The government chose to shut them because it gave direct benefit to the private schools. We want to change this. Educational fees should be capped, and this is the responsibility of the government, he said. Dipke also highlighted the issue of institutional accountability. The situation is very dangerous because people are losing faith as there is no accountability left in the institutions. People elect someone while the government is formed by someone else. If this is not stopped, then the parties will be broken with the help of ED and CBI. If this keeps happening, it will pose a danger to democracy, he said. The Election Commission of India also needs to fix accountability or else polls will become a mere formality, the CJP founder said. Earlier, voters used to elect the government, but now the government is selecting the voter. The government is deciding who will vote and who will not. Democracy cannot run like this, he said. Talking about the roles of judiciary and media, he said that common people do not get justice and the media does not talk about issues faced by them. ''Justice delivery is not speedy. People have to visit courts multiple times. But when a big businessman approaches court, the hearing takes place urgently. Also hearings are held urgently when a government has to be pulled down or MPs and MLAs have to switch parties. But this is not the case with common people. Therefore, they are also losing faith in the judiciary, he said. People are also disgruntled with the media because they run the agenda of a single party and do not speak about people's issues, Dipke added.

Gold jumps to 7-week high of Rs 1.53 lakh/10g; silver rallies Rs 2,100
New Delhi, Aug 6: Gold prices rallied for the third straight session, soaring by Rs 3,800 to a seven-week high of Rs 1.53 lakh per 10 grams in the national capital on Thursday, aided by rupee depreciation and firm global trends. The yellow metal of 99.9 per cent purity climbed Rs 3,800 to Rs 1,53,800 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes) from Wednesday's closing level of Rs 1,50,000 per 10 grams. Gold had last settled near these levels at Rs 1,53,440 per 10 grams on June 18. Silver also advanced Rs 2,100 to Rs 2,34,800 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes) from Rs 2,32,700 per kg in the preceding session. Traders said a weaker rupee made imported bullion costlier in the domestic market, while gains in overseas gold prices amid a softer US dollar and easing Treasury yields lent further support to the precious metals. On Thursday, the rupee depreciated 16 paise to close at 95.24 (provisional) against the US dollar, on slight gains in the dollar index and a modest increase in US Treasury bond yields. Gold extended its rally for a third consecutive session, climbing to a seven-week high as a weaker dollar, softer US Treasury bond yields and expectations of a diplomatic breakthrough in West Asia conflict have boosted demand for precious metal, Gaurav Garg, Head of Research at Lemonn Markets Desk, said. In the overseas markets, spot gold edged higher to USD 4,264.24 per ounce, while silver traded lower at 61.80 per ounce. Spot gold gained to trade around USD 4,260 per ounce after Iran said that the deal with Oman over the management of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been agreed in principle, said Praveen Singh, Head of Commodities at Mirae Asset ShareKhan. He added that gold also drew support from sustained investor demand, with Chinese gold exchange-traded funds witnessing inflows for the 14th consecutive session. According to Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities, investors will closely track the US non-farm payrolls and unemployment data due on Friday, as the releases are expected to play a crucial role in shaping expectations for the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook.

New Delhi, Aug 06: In a significant step towards strengthening the integrity and transparency of India's drugs regulatory system, the Union Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has notified amendments to the Drugs Rules, 1945 through G.S.R number 756 (E), dated the 16th October, 2025. In addition to existing enforcement provisions under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, these newly notified provisions empower the Licensing Authority to debar further applications by entities who submit fake or fabricated data in support of their applications. This will apply to all applications filed under various provisions of the Drugs Rules 1945. Presently an applicant submitting fabricated data faces enforcement actions such as rejection of applications and/or cancellation of existing licenses. With this amendment, they would be debarred from filing further applications with the concerned regulatory authority, either State or the Centre (as applicable) for a specified period of time. A due process has been prescribed through the issuance of a show-cause notice before any such punitive action is taken. There is also a provision for appeal provided. Sound scientific data submitted by applicants forms the basis for regulatory evaluation of the quality, safety and efficacy of drugs. Submission of fake or fabricated data compromises the integrity of the regulatory process, casts aspersions over the quality of drugs and may pose serious risks to public health. The present amendment is intended to deter such misconduct, strengthen accountability among applicants and ensure that approvals of drugs are backed by reliable and scientifically valid evidence. The notification is in line with the Government's efforts to strengthen India's regulatory framework in accordance with global best practices. It aims to promote those drugs manufacturers and distributors who are compliant with regulatory framework of the country and endeavours to deal with any reported instances of malpractice. It complements the ongoing regulatory reform in the pharmaceutical domain with renewed focus on enhancing oversight, promoting ethical practices and ensuring that unscrupulous entities are adequately penalized.

Lok Sabha passes bill to authorise govt to permit banks to levy charges on UPI transactions
New Delhi, Aug 6: Lok Sabha on Thursday passed a Bill to amend the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007 that authorises the government to permit banks and other service providers to levy charges on payments through unified payments interface (UPI) and other notified electronic payment modes. The amendment passed by the House without discussion amid din seeks to remove the existing legal provision that prevents banks and payment service providers from charging Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on notified electronic payment modes. Real-time payments made through RTGS and NEFT are done by paying a service charge. However, UPI transactions have been exempted from such charges so far. The proposed changes in Payment and Settlement Systems Act is a part of comprehensive legislation on taxation, which was introduced in the House on Tuesday. The Bill was passed through voice vote in the Lok Sabha after the House resumed at 2 pm after the earlier adjournment. As soon as the House re-assembled, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman moved the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 further to amend the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007 and the Income Tax Act, 2025, and to amend the Finance Act, 2026, to be taken into consideration. The government's approach aims to levy small charge on digital payment services for consumers and small businesses while ensuring a sustainable revenue model for banks, payment service providers (PSPs), and payment infrastructure firms that drive the digital payments ecosystem. In the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007, in Section 10A, for the words, figures and letters 'the electronic modes of payment prescribed under section 269SU of the Income-tax Act, 1961', the words 'one or more electronic modes of payment as the central government may, by notification, specify' shall be substituted with effect from the date of publication of this Act in the Official Gazette, the Bill said. Section 10A of the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007 prohibits banks and system providers from imposing any charges on electronic payments while Section 269SU of the Income Tax Act requires large businesses with a turnover exceeding Rs 50 crore to accept payments through specific electronic modes, including RuPay debit cards and BHIM-UPI QR codes. As on date, no bank or payment system provider could impose any charge upon anyone, either directly or indirectly, for using the electronic modes of payment prescribed under Section 269SU of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Speaking on the issue RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra on Wednesday said it is premature to talk about MDR on payment through digital means. Investment in public infrastructure like payments is necessary, he said, reiterating that someone will have to pay for it. The choices before us are simple: either the general public has to pay for it through taxes, or we have to levy the merchant discount rate (MDR), following the 'user pays' model. Right now the government is getting us the amendment. Costs have to be paid by someone. We all want this public infrastructure to strengthen and become more efficient, etc. We continue to do that. That is our focus right now; let us wait and watch for further developments, Malhotra said. Levy of MDR has become a vexed issue in the country as bankers and other stakeholders in the payment industry have been pressing for it, and the government has so far not moved in the matter, and the usage of digital payments like the UPI platform has continued to grow at a handsome pace. Some watchers have been expecting MDR to set in for UPI transactions above a certain value between a merchant and customer, and not in the case of peer-to-peer payments. The important aspect is that someone has to pay for the service, the RBI Governor said. Malhotra said under the 'use-pays' principle, it is the person or the merchant who is transacting who gets charged through the levy of MDR, but added that even if there is no MDR in place, the general public pays for it through the taxes. What is important is that we continue to invest and continue to find the means, whether it is MDR or others. Let us wait and see how the situation evolves, he said.

Rajnath chairs parliamentary panel meeting, discussions focus on Territorial Army
New Delhi, Aug 6: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday chaired a meeting of a parliamentary committee, with discussions focusing on the Territorial Army and its members offering suggestions to further enhance its overall effectiveness. Singh said the Territorial Army creates surge capacity for the defence forces by building a reserve of trained soldiers who can be deployed immediately whenever the need arises. The Union minister chaired the meeting of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Defence here, with discussions focusing on the 'Territorial Army. Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth, Chief of Defence Staff Gen N S Raja Subramani, Army Chief Gen Dhiraj Seth, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh, Secretary (Defence Production) Sanjeev Kumar, Secretary (Defence Finance) Vishvajit Sahay and other senior officers attended the meeting, the ministry said in a statement. During the meet, senior officials presented a detailed briefing on the Territorial Army's mandate, role and key achievements to the committee members, who offered suggestions to further strengthen the force and enhance its overall effectiveness, it said. In his address, Singh described the Territorial Army's contribution as significant in advancing Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government's vision of Viksit Bharat. He emphasised that while the role of the defence forces revolves primarily around security-related aspects, the Territorial Army contributes in other areas such as environmental conservation and social work as well. The Territorial Army is a living embodiment of the 'citizen-soldier' concept. While its members engage in civilian pursuits, they simultaneously don the uniform to safeguard the borders and maintain internal security, Singh said. He added that when the personnel complete their tenure and return to civilian life, they act as a vibrant bridge between society and the military, inspiring people, especially the youth, to join the defence forces. The Territorial Army stands as a trained, motivated, and potent force, comprising nearly 44,400 personnel and 59 diverse units, the ministry said. Singh termed the force as first responders, who provide immediate relief and support during natural calamities. He acknowledged their role in carrying out relief and rescue work, and providing medical aid to those in need during Kerala floods, Odisha cyclone and the recent floods in Assam. Commending their contribution in environmental management and climate change mitigation, he said the ecological task forces of the Territorial Army have planted approximately 10 crore saplings till date, with the survival rate ranging between 80-85 per cent. This green initiative is translating the prime ministers 'Mission LiFE' and 'Panchamrit' goals into reality on the ground, he said. Singh also appreciated the efforts of the Territorial Army deployed in Jammu and Kashmir for taking the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign to greater heights. The Territorial Army, raised on October 9, 1949, completed 75 years in 2024 and has served the nation in times of war and in humanitarian and environmental protection work through its journey over the decades. It is fully integrated with the regular Army.
