Current Affairs for BANK, IBPS Exams

:: National ::

Political turmoil in Arunachal Pradesh continues

• Politics turned a full circle in Arunachal Pradesh when 43 of the 44 Congress MLAs, including Chief Minister Pema Khandu, joined the People’s Party of Arunachal (PPA), a part of the North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA.

• Just two months ago, Mr. Khandu and his group of Congress rebels had deserted the PPA and returned to the Congress to form the government.

• Mr. Khandu became the Chief Minister on July 16, replacing Nabam Tuki, who in turn had replaced Kalikho Pul after the Supreme Court reinstated the Tuki government.

• Hours after losing its government in the State, the Congress dubbed the new dispensation an “illegitimate child of the BJP” and blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah.

India sealed three significant deals with Nepal

• Recognising Nepal’s efforts to build a democratic polity, India expressed the hope that the government of PM Pushpa Kamal Dahal would hold an “inclusive dialogue” while implementing the controversial Constitution of his country.

• India and Nepal held wide-ranging talks and sealed three significant deals as Mr. Prachanda’s September 15-18 visit to India unfolded.

• However, differences over the Constitution which led to domestic discord and disturbed ties with Delhi persisted.

• This remark indicated that Delhi would maintain dialogue with the Madhesi leaders who had demanded that PM Prachanda should address representational and territorial concerns of their community, within a short time span.

Delhi HC held that photocopying of course is not an infringement of copyright

• The Delhi High Court held that the photocopying of course packs prepared by Delhi University comprising portions from books published by Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press did not amount to infringement of copyright.

• Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw also lifted the stay on the kiosk from photocopying the course packs. The case had seen protest by students who backed the kiosk.

• Copyright, especially in literary works, is thus not an inevitable, divine, or natural right that confers on authors the absolute ownership of their creations.

• It is designed rather to stimulate activity and progress in the arts for the intellectual enrichment of the public.

• “Copyright is intended to increase and not to impede the harvest of knowledge. It is intended to motivate the creative activity of authors and inventors in order to benefit the public,” Justice said.

Centre warned Kerala and Tamil Nadu about implementation of the NFSA

• The Centre warned Kerala and Tamil Nadu that foodgrains for distribution to above the poverty line families would be provided at a higher rate to the States if they fail to implement the National Food Security Act (NFSA) at the earliest.

• Other 34 NFSA implementing States and Union Territories have been asked to address gaps on the list of beneficiaries, computerisation of public distribution system, PDS, Aadhaar linkage with ration cards etc.

• The NFS Act, aims to abolish the APL and below the poverty line (BPL) criteria and uniformly provides 5 kg of wheat or rice to all beneficiaries every month at a subsidised rate of Rs.1-3 per kg.

• Kerala and Tamil Nadu are the only two States left where the NFSA has not been implemented yet. Despite being developed States.

• The Kerala government had earlier said it would implement the NFSA from November but now the State is planning to do it from December.

• Asking the States to speed up reforms in the PDS to curb leakage of foodgrains, Mr. Paswan said there could be problems in putting up necessary infrastructure for the effective roll-out of the NFSA.

• While the ration cards have been digitised 100 per cent in the country, States are slow in seeding them with the Aadhaar card, which would help in eliminating bogus beneficiaries.
