Floor Test ● The Supreme Court in its previous judgements have pronounced that floor tests should follow within 24 to 48 hours of swearing-in. This is because, it will increase risks of horse trading and corruption. S R Bommai Case ● The concept of floor test was introduced by the SC’s judgement in 1994 in SR Bommai case. ● SC referred to Article 164 of the constitution. ● SC interprets the article’s words “Council of ministers shall be collectively responsible to the Legislative Assembly of the state” as the ultimate test of majority is not held in Raj Bhavan but on the floors of the assembly.

Page 1: Google warned 500 Indians on phishing Google sent out over 12,000 warnings to users globally, including about 500 in India, during the period from July to September this year, alerting them to “government-backed” phishing attempts against them. ● This comes close on the heels of the Facebook-owned WhatsApp disclosing that an Israeli spyware, Pegasus, was used to spy on journalists and human rights activists globally, including 121 people in India. ● Google said its Threat Analysis Group (TAG) works to counter targeted and government- backed hacking against Google and its users. ● The TAG tracks more than 270 targeted or government-backed groups from more than 50 countries ● Stating that the company had a long-standing policy to send users warnings if it detects that they are the subject of state-sponsored phishing attempts, Google said that from July to ©Jatin Verma All Rights Reserved. https://www.jatinverma.org Page | 6 September 2019, it sent more than 12,000 warnings to users in 149 countries that they were targeted by government-backed attackers. What is phishing? ● It is the act of sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. ● Phishing email will direct the user to visit a website where they are asked to update personal information, such as a password, credit card, social security, or bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. ● The website, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the information the user enters on the page. ● Phishing, also referred to as brand spoofing or carding, is a variation on “fishing,” the idea being that bait is thrown out with the hopes that while most will ignore the bait, some will be tempted into biting. ©Jatin Verma All Rights Reserved. https://www.jatinverma.org Page | 7 Page 9: Nod for defence purchase worth ₹22,800 cr. The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, met and approved the procurement of weapons and equipment worth ₹22,800 crore. Among them are six additional P-8I long-range patrol aircraft to be procured from the U.S. for the Navy and additional indigenous Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF). As a follow-up to the successful indigenous Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) programme, the DAC revalidated the Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) for the procurement of additional AWACS aircraft. The Ministry said. “The mission system and sub-systems for these aircraft would be indigenously designed, developed and integrated into the main platform by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).” The IAF now operates three Israeli Phalcon AWACS and three smaller indigenous Netra AEW&C systems mounted on Embraer aircraft. A shortage of these force multipliers was felt during the aerial engagement with the Pakistan Air Force, a day after the Balakot air strike in February.

Swift outreach ● The visit follows India’s particularly swift outreach to the region’s newest leader. Mr. Gotabaya, a military man-turned-bureaucrat, entered politics with a presidential bid and won with a decisive mandate. ● National security, a “top priority” for the President, would likely be discussed at length, Sri Lanka’s Tamil leadership and people are closely following the visit, especially since the External Affairs Ministry said after Mr. Jaishankar’s visit that New Delhi “expects” Sri Lanka to take forward its post-war reconciliation process, ensuring “equality, justice, peace and dignity” of the Tamil people.
