Jingoism Will Not Be Able to Surmount the Deep Discontent, Says Manish Tewari
Interview Jingoism will not be able to surmount the deep discontent, says Manish Tewari SMITA GUPTA Former Union Minister Manish Tewari. FIle photo: K. Murali Kumar The Balakot bombings that followed the terror strike in Pulwama have given an edge to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP)’s election plank of muscular nationalism and has, for the moment, at least, taken the spotlight off the failures of the Narendra Modi government. In this interview, former Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari — who is also a Distinguished Senior Fellow at The Atlantic Council’s South Asia Centre — talks to Smita Gupta, Senior Fellow, The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy, New Delhi,about the impact of the BJP’s nationalism card in the upcoming general elections, the role of the media in amplifying the BJP’s message, why the Congress has been circumspect on the subject and whether it is appropriate to use national security as an election issue. He also points out that while the Balakot bombings appeased public opinion to some extent, it has also created a new strategic dynamic on the sub-continent that will make it tougher for future governments to deal with incidents of terror. Excerpts: ill the Pulwama attack, the opposition’s narrative of unemployment being at a 45-year high, rural distress, the negative impact of T demonetisation, etc appeared to be gaining ground in the public discourse. But after the Balakot air strikes, that narrative appears to have changed. Pakistan, war, terrorism appear to be the preferred subjects. Does this not give the advantage back to the BJP? There are two parallel discourses: there is a discourse in the ether which is about Pakistan, Kashmir and war hanging low over the subcontinent.

Speech of Dr. Manmohan Singh, Former Prime Minister at the Sansmaran Sabha to Pay Tribute to Shri Jaipal Reddy at the Dr
Speech of Dr. Manmohan Singh, Former Prime Minister at the Sansmaran Sabha to pay tribute to Shri Jaipal Reddy at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre New Delhi on 3rd September, 2019 We gather here today to pay tribute to my dear friend, colleague and great leader Shri Jaipal Reddy ji. He was a treasure house of wisdom and knowledge. For ten years he was my colleague in UPA Cabinet and a law-maker for forty five years. It is no exaggeration to say that in his death, Indian politics has lost an excellent orator, a very good administrator, an outstanding Parliamentarian and a great leader. He had an excellent leadership quality. His leadership quality was a mix of a lot of things, the first and foremost was about having faith in his beliefs. He had solid faith in his ideas. As in the case of a true leader he was a very good communicator, listening to others and setting examples for others to follow. A politician with a difference he was an eloquent orator, a writer, a scholar and a witty speaker. His speeches were packed with wit, criticism and in-depth information. Jaipal ji started as a student activist, rose to become president of the Indian Youth Congress from Andhra Pradesh, and then plunged into national politics braving polio among a host of other challenges. He went on to play an active role in national affairs for over four decades. His popularity and followings grew tremendously in Andra Pradesh which made him victorious four times to the Andhra Assembly polls and five times in Lok Sabha elections.

7Th Asia Gas Partnership Summit 23Rd March, 2012, New Delhi
7th Asia Gas Partnership Summit 23rd March, 2012, New Delhi Welcome Address by Shri R P N Singh, Hon'ble Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas The Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh ji , My senior colleague and Union Cabinet Minister, Shri S. Jaipal Reddy ji, Shri G.C. Chaturvedi, Secretary in the Ministry, Shri B C Tripathi, CMD, GAIL (India) Limited, Shri R. V Kanoria, President, FICCI, Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates Friends from media, Ladies and Gentlemen. A Very Good Morning and a warm welcome to you all. It is indeed my privilege to welcome this distinguished audience to this prestigious conference, being held exclusively for natural gas in Asia. I am happy to note that the conference has now entered into its 7th edition, and congratulate the organizers for making it a continued success. The growth of the gas sector in Asia, particularly in the emerging markets like China and India, would be broadly dependent upon three key factors. First, our ability to secure adequate, reliable and reasonably priced gas supplies to keep pace with the ever-growing demand. Second, our capacity to integrate the Asian gas market, so as to move towards an Asian gas marker price, which would be more relevant to this region. And third, our resolve to promote gas for addressing climate change and sustainability concerns. It is how and how quickly we address these three challenges that will determine the future growth of natural gas in these emerging markets. In this context, the theme of this summit – ‘Evolving Dynamics of the Asian Gas Market: Challenges of Sourcing, Integration and Sustainability', is very timely and relevant.

India's Fight Against Health Emergencies
MARCH 2020 ISSUE NO. 349 India’s Fight Against Health Emergencies: In Search of a Legal Architecture MANISH TEWARI ABSTRACT The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 (caused by the novel coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2) has exposed glaring gaps in India’s domestic laws. Absent a rationally structured legislation to fall back on, the Union government in March advised states to invoke the Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897 to tackle the pandemic in their jurisdictions. The 123-year-old colonial law, however, does not even define what a disease is, let alone an epidemic or a pandemic. Indeed, a Public Health (Prevention, Control and Management of Epidemics, Bio-Terrorism and Disasters) Bill had been drafted in 2017, intended to replace the old Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897. The Bill has yet to be tabled in Parliament. This brief calls for the creation of a sound legal architecture to deal more effectively with outbreaks of infectious diseases, especially pandemics of the scale of COVID-19.
