Sir, yesterday, the Finance Minister made a speech. We did not come from our party to listen to his speech, nor did we come the previous day because we believe and our point was that for demonetization, Parliament was ignored and that was our way of stating over the last two days that you people don’t need Parliament because you have a one-man band. To quot from the Finance Minister’s speech--and I am going back to Para 55 of the President’s speech--the Finance Minister said, ‘a trusted custodian of public money.’ That is the Government’s role. I ask, Sir, are you the only trusted custodian of the public money because you are not allowing the public to withdraw their private money for which they pay tax? So we appeal and urge upon this Government to please stay away from platitudes. From tomorrow or Monday, please stop all the restrictions that you have placed on the withdrawal limit. One thing got confirmed after the speech, in this booklet of about 4,000 words, and the Finance Minister’s speech. The good thing, at least, which the Government has confirmed is that demonetization has not worked because if it had worked, they would 2 Uncorrected/ Not for Publication-02.02.2017 have given us some numbers.

Full, swinging in, and Kohli reviews. Root's head falls over while trying to work the ball into the leg side, and the ball goes past his inside edge and hits pad in front of middle and leg. Was that hitting leg stump or going down? Looks very close to me. No inside-edge. Let's see what ball-tracking says. It says umpire's call, clipping the outside of leg stump, and Root is a lucky, lucky boy. 82.6 Yadav to Stokes, no run, ooh, that's some monster bounce and late reverse away from the left-hander. Excellent delivery, Stokes is beaten going for the back-foot punch away from his body. Umesh wants to review, but Kohli doesn't.

    T20 World Cup final in Australia highlights India's gender pay gap - Reuters Discover Thomson Reuters Directory of sites Login Contact Support SPONSORED Business Markets World Politics TV More BIG STORY 10 MARCH 6, 2020 / 8:48 PM / 5 MONTHS AGO T20 World Cup final in Australia highlights India's gender pay gap Annie Banerji 6 MIN READ NEW DELHI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - When defending champions Australia compete in the Women’s Twenty20 World Cup final in Melbourne on Sunday, they will earn the same as their male counterparts would - in stark contrast to their rivals, India. That the match, expected to attract a sell-out crowd of mainly Australian cricket fans, takes place on International Women’s Day has only intensified the debate surrounding the gender pay gap that India’s sportswomen have to contend with. In cricket-mad India, male players are revered as gods, paid handsomely and showered with lucrative endorsement deals, from watches and shoes to snacks, headphones and even toothbrushes. The women barely get a look-in. Sports analysts say they are trapped in a vicious cycle - without the right resources, they face a disadvantage when playing at the top level, which in turn means they are less likely to get investment. “The women’s game is stuck, like Cinderella, at the hearth while the men are off partying,” said Prem Panicker, a senior cricket journalist who has written extensively about the issue. “And that is unfair to the women, to the game and to us spectators.” A-list women cricketers including T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur, opener Smriti Mandhana and spinner Poonam Yadav make about $68,000 each annually despite progressively better performances, including reaching the 50-over World Cup final in 2017.
