Akhilesh says SP continues to be part of INDIA bloc
HYDERABAD: Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday affirmed that his party continues to be part of the INDIA bloc. His statement assumes significance as Uttar Pradesh is set to go to the Assembly polls in less than two years. He was speaking to the media after attending the VISION INDIA: Plan, Develop & Ascent summit here in the city. He underlined the need to anchor artificial intelligence (AI) policy in the constitutional values of equality and social justice, arguing that technology must serve as an instrument of inclusive and egalitarian development rather than deepen existing divides. He said the Constitution teaches equality and equal justice, and these principles must guide the governments approach to emerging technologies. Social justice should translate into equal justice. AI policies must ensure that opportunities created by technology reach everyone, including rural India, he said, adding that the BJP would be defeated with the help of AI. The VISION INDIA initiative, which describes itself as a nationwide series of summits and conferences, aims to plan Indias future by identifying sectoral challenges and opportunities. Recalling that laptops were distributed during the SP governments tenure to widen access to technology, Akhilesh Yadav stressed the need to bridge the digital divide. He called for a unified national policy to ensure that the benefits of AI in agriculture, medicine, urban planning and governance reach the grassroots. Farmers can benefit from satellite mapping and data-driven advisories on water usage. If credible data is available, governments can frame better policies, he said. He also pitched for building a strong start-up ecosystem and said inputs from such platforms would be taken into account while shaping future programmes for a New India. However, he cautioned against the misuse of AI, noting that cyber fraud has emerged as a major challenge and that deepfake videos are increasingly being mistaken for truth, with serious political and social consequences.

Lionel Messi: Greatest artist on and off the field
The has never played any competitive match in this part of the world except for one friendly against Venezuela at Kolkata in 2011. Argentina is in the other hemisphere of the globe and, in an Indian context, it is on the other side of the planet, almost diametrically. One may not have seen that piece of land of that country but everyone would have heard about it. It is because of two men. One Diego Armando Maradona. The other, of course, is LIONEL MESSI. If any footballer can manage to stir up emotions morphed in mass hysteria in this age and generation, then the latter would be the undisputed king. There is no story unheard nor is there any anecdote not told. Every time he touches the ball, it turns into an immortal story of beauty and skill. On the field he has created a world of his own. Hes sui generis for hes capable of almost everything. Dribbling? Assisting? Running with the ball? Play-making from deep inside his own half? A free-kick 20 yards from goal? He does all of this. The numbers are even more staggering. An unmatchable eight Ballon dOrs. Messi has scored over 850 goals for club and country; 672 goals for Barcelona (all-time highest); four Champions League titles and three FIFA best player awards. Messi is everywhere. Like one fan put it, he is there when we are happy and when we are sad. He can lift us out of our slumber when we are sleepy and can motivate us when we are down. He has transcended religion, caste, creed and region. He is the unifying factor that can bind the world into one. He is omnipotent too. Just like God. What else would explain erecting a 70-m statue in Kolkata, multiple timezones away from Rosario, Messis home in South America? On a multi-day tour of Indiaaptly named GOAT tour Messi is everywhere. Politicians want to play football with him. People want to give up their weekend to breathe his air, even if its only going to be for a few minutes. Whats `10 lakh if the prize for parting with that money is to see him in the flesh and shake his hands. On Saturday, Kolkatas hoi polloi went to the Salt Lake Stadium to see him, their God of football. It didnt matter that from 100 feet away, he would appear as a speck but nothing was going to deter fans expectations and their love. It was an I-was-there moment, a moment he or she would live with for their entire lives. No wonder, then, when they couldnt see him, it turned ugly and chaotic. So when Messi landed in the wee hours of a wintery night in Kolkata, the whole city seemed to be awake. The Albiceleste had a different meaning. As the jamboree moved to Hyderabad, scenes were much saner. A meet-and-greet session cost `10 lakh, and people were happily paying without batting their eyelids. Messis growing-up years are like fables. The story goes that the first time he touched the ball with his left foot, he was so young he could not shoot. Messi was not even supposed to be playing then. He was playing on the sidelines. His first coach, Salvador Aparicio, during an interview (2008) said his team was one player short and he had to take permission from his mother who was initially reluctant but a little nudge from Messis grandmother helped her make up her mind. The magic has remained since then. Like when he caresses the ball or embarrasses defenders... he was born on this planet to play football. Even at 38, when hes in the twilight of his career, like the firefly, he is still illuminating the night. Messis off the field persona is even more alluring. He lacks the flamboyance of Maradona. He can hardly be called a showman like Ronaldo. He leads a quiet life. He is a devout Christian, a family man who is hardly seen in public. Only his inner circle Uruguays Luis Suarez and compatriot Rodrigo de Paul (both of whom are of course with him in this trip to India) know the real Messi, what hes like away from the public eye but hes generally reserved. After leading Argentina to the World Cup title in 2022, he has placed himself atop a pedestal reserved for greatest sports persons on this planet. To borrow the great English novelist Joseph Conrads words: A work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line. And art itself may be defined as a single-minded attempt to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe, by bringing to light the truth, manifold and one, underlying its every aspect. And Messi is the greatest football artist on and off the field and he will remain forever.

Supreme Court seeks Centre, state governments response on petition to address farm distress
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court recently directed the Additional Solicitor General (ASG) to file within four weeks a comprehensive report with regard to the steps taken by the Union, State governments and other stakeholders to effectively address the multiple factors that contribute to the persistent distress including farmers suicide faced by farmers across the country. We need to have a response from the Centre and states on the issue and after receiving the reply, we will hear the case later, said a two-judge bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya. The SC sought the replies from the respective respondents, after hearing a writ petition filed in 2014 by an NGO named Citizens Resource and Action and Initiative (CRANTI), raising the issue related to farmers suicides. Though the petition was filed seeking relief for the families of farmers who died by suicide in Gujarat, in 2017, the Supreme Court had expanded the scope of the matter, and sought for a national action plan, and impleaded all the State Governments as respondents in the petition filed by CRANTI. On Friday, CJI Surya Kant asked ASG Aishwarya Bhati to submit the details of the initiatives taken for the welfare of farmers.

Even February 10 DGCA deadline impossible to meet, say experts
NEW DELHI: With the Civil Aviation Ministry giving IndiGo an exemption till February 10, 2026, to implement the revised crew rostering rules, will it be possible for the airline to adhere to it by then? The two-month deadline appears impossible to meet and chaos will return to the skies, caution experts. The 10% temporary cut affected in operations to help tide the current chaos too would be restored adding to its curtailed fleet. According to a submission made by IndiGo to the DGCA, it presently has 2,357 Flight Captains which is 65 short of its requirement to operate its 403 aircraft. Aviation safety consultant, Captain Mohan Ranganathan posed this rhetorical query to this newspaper, When an airline could not implement the rules it was supposed to do even after it was given a period of 18 months to do so, how is it possible for it to implement it when an extra two months is given. There will be chaos in the skies again. The Centre will end up extending their exemptions further. Elaborating on this aspect, he said that pilots cannot be poached from other airlines as the cockpit crew in any airline has to serve a minimum notice period of six months. Captain Ranganathan explained that due to better pay and working conditions in the Gulf Region, 55 Senior Flying Officers at IndiGo, who were in line to become Captains, had resigned a few months ago and joined airlines in Gulf this year. Even if they were to hire expat pilots, they need to get clearances from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security and Immigration authorities. They need to be trained again on the specific aircraft Indigo is operating, he said. A senior airline executive extensively involved in pilot training, said, Training a pilot to operate planes is a very elaborate exercise. It takes a minimum of five to six months to train a pilot. And then, specific training is provided for the plane he or she would be assigned to operate. It is understood that this looming deadline and the measures IndiGo is planning are subject of regular discussion between the Indigo top management and the DGCA during the repeated meetings held this week. IndiGo did not want to make any official comment.
