However, today, we have 22 AIIMS, offering world-class facilities and infrastructure, transforming our healthcare landscape. Jagat Prakash Nadda @JPNadda IN-DEPTH NEW IRAN PREZ BRINGS HOPE FOR THE MASSES asoud Pezeshkianâs election as Iranâs presi- dent marks a significant shift, as he is only the second moderate leader to hold the position. His leadership promises potential reforms and a move away from hard-line Islamic policies and also hope to Iranians who faced brutal crackdown over hijab ban. However, the influence of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, remains a formidable challenge. Khameneiâs control over key institutions, including the military and judiciary, limits the presidentâs power. Pezeshkianâs ability to implement moderate policies will depend on dealing with the complexities of the political situation. Balancing reformist agenda with the expectations of hard-line factions will not be easy. While his election reflects a desire for change among theIranianpopulace,Pezeshkianâssuccessinsteeringthe countrytowardsmoderationwilldependonhisabilityto forge alliances within the entrenched power structure. The global community will be watching closely to see if Pezeshkian can effectively advocate for a more open and progressive Iran under Khamenei. M CHINAâS STAND BEATS SCOâS OBJECTIVE errorists have struck again in Kashmir. Pre- cious lives of two of our jawans were lost in the operation against the infiltrators. The Pakistan angle in the attack cannot be ruled out. That makes External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar plain speak at the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisa- tion (SCO) Council summit in Kazakhstan relevant. In his strong message at the summit which includ- ed Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese Presi- dent Xi Jinping, and Pakistan Prime Minister She- hbaz Sharif, Jaishankar underscored the necessity of isolating nations that harbour and support terrorists. This appeal was a poignant reminder of the SCOâs foundational objective: combating terrorism. Despite the clarity and urgency of Jaishankarâs message, it is likely to have encountered indifference, espe- cially from China. Historically, China has shielded Pakistan from international scrutiny over its pro- vision of safe havens for terrorists. Al- though China also has suffered losses due to terror acts in Pakistan, it has re- peatedly vetoed In- diaâs attempts to blacklist Pakistan- backed terrorists at the United Nations, thereby undermining global counter-terrorism efforts. This persistent support of Pakistan by China com- plicates the SCOâs mission.As long as China contin- ues to offer this protection, the organizationâs effi- cacy in addressing terrorism remains compromised. The geopolitical dynamics between China and Paki- stan have created a significant roadblock in the pur- suit of regional security and stability. For the SCO to fulfil its anti-terrorism goals, it is imperative that all member states, especially influen- tial ones like China, commit to a unified stance against terrorism.

The European Union- NATO membership for Ukraine has become more complicated.Inwakeofthis state in the conflict zone an international peace summit in relation to the Russo- Ukrainian War, formally called the Summit on Peace in Ukraine, was held in Switzerland on 15 - 16 June 2024. The conference fol- lowedaseriesoffourearlier international meetings, and was co-hosted by the Swiss president Viola Amherd along with Ukraine. Repre- sentatives from 92 nations and 8 international organi- zationsattendedthesummit, while Russia was not invit- ed. The Joint CommuniquĂŠ on a Peace Framework be- came the final statement of the summit and was sup- ported by the majority of participants less some dele- gates like India and Brazil. The November 2022 Ukrainian proposal asked for Nuclear safety, Food se- curityforAsianandAfrican countries, Energy security and Restoration of Ukraineâs energy infra- structure, Release of all prisoners and the return of Ukrainian children deport- ed to Russia, Restoration of the Russia - Ukraine border to that prior to the 2014 an- nexation of Crimea and Cessation of hostilities, Prosecution of war crimes in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Guarantees against future Russian ag- gression. This was a tall asking by Ukraine with nothing in return, thus the proposal didnât cut any ice with Russia. However, the Summit for peace in Ukraine immediately fol- lowed the 50th G-7 summit in Fasano, Italy with a hope to make some headway in stoppingtheprolongedcon- flictintheregion.However, on 14 June, the day before the summit was held; Rus- sian PresidentVladimir Pu- tin presented a proposal agreeing to cease fire and commencement of negotia- tions if Ukraine withdraws troopsfromtheterritoriesof Donetsk,Luhansk,Kherson and Zaporizhzhia and offi- cially announce the aban- donment of plans to join NATO. Putin also demand- ed Ukraineâs neutral and non-nuclear status and lift- ing sanctions against Rus- sia. Zelenskyy responded the same day, stating this was not acceptable. With this as backdrop the discussionstookplaceinthe Summit only on three spe- cific topics - nuclear safety and security; freedom of navigation and food safety; and humanitarian aspects includingprotectionofcivil- ians and prisoner exchange. A total of 100 participants, including 57 heads of state orgovernmentincludingthe USVicePresidentturnedup for the Summit. Russia was not invited to the Summit and this was criticised by global south countries, Bra- zil, India and others. China and Pakistan were invited butdidnotattend. Thethree main topics of focus for the summit were nuclear safety and security, freedom of navigation and food safety, and humanitarian aspects. The final statement of the summit, titled the âJoint CommuniquĂŠ on a Peace Frameworkâandreferringto theâongoingwaroftheRus- sian Federation against Ukraineâ, was initially signed by 77 states and 05 international European or- ganisations. Brazil, India, SouthAfrica and SaudiAra- bia, 14 other participants in the summit did not sign the CommuniquĂŠ.MajorGlobal South nations cited Russiaâs absence or Israelâs presence as reasons for not accepting the communiquĂŠ. THE JOINT COMMUNIQUĂ Declared support for United Nations General Assembly resolutions and reaffirmed the signees commitment to refraining from the threat or use of force against the ter- ritorial integrity or political independence of any state, theprinciplesofsovereignty, independence,andterritorial integrityofallstates,includ- ing Ukraine and the resolu- tion of disputes through peacefulmeansasprinciples of international law. Ukrainian nuclear power plants and installations must operate safely and se- curely under sovereign control of Ukraine and in line with IAEA principles. Any threat or use of nuclear weapons in the context of the ongoing war against Ukraine is inadmissible. Attacks on merchant ships in ports and along the entire route, as well as against civilian ports and infrastructure, are unac- ceptable and that Ukraini- an agricultural products should be securely and freely provided to inter- ested third countries. Allprisonersofwarmust be released and that all chil- dren and other Ukrainian civilians who were unlaw- fully detained, must be re- turned to Ukraine. WAY FORWARD Identify more countries in- cluding India with an eye on possible mediators to end the hostilities. The Is- raelâs counter operations in Gaza to neutralize Hamas has exposed some of the double speak of these coun- tries on civilian deaths. Address issues like, pro- tection of civilians and prisoner exchange, food security for African and Asian Nations, no use of nuclear weapons etc which are acceptable to both sides and has wider consensus. India needs to be more pro- active as it has good relations both with Ukraine and Russia and has off late emerged as voice of global south and more acceptable mediator. Most nations will have to arrive at a similar view on killings of civilians in Ukraine vs Gaza and aiding the conflict with military arms and ammunition for purely defensive reasons. Work out on restoration of a buffer zone on western flank and play on the factor of reputation of Russia with assurances of non ex- pansion of NATO to threat- en Russian interests. The prolonged war will increase Russian depend- ence on China and thus China emerges stronger adversary both for the US and India. India must use its clout to bring Russia to table as the US cannot be expected to mediate an is- sue when it is at odds over the war internally. The US and Europe will have to convince Kyiv to accept that some Ukraini- an land will not be swiftly regained and India, in turn, will have to convince Rus- sia that its broader strate- gic interests and secure frontiers cannot be attained through military force. Indiaâs view is that peace inUkrainerequiresbringing togetherallstakeholdersand a sincere and practical en- gagement between the two parties to the conflict. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Putin, this is not aneraforwar;Indianeedsto doitsparttomakethatstate- ment incontrovertibly true.

He said the people of the nation are aware of the several scams that took place when the Con- gress-led UPA govern- ment was in power be- tween 2004 and 2014. âThe Congress has no moral right to speak on corruption. We saw scams in coal allotment, Commonwealth Games, Augusta helicopter pur- chase etc. Congress rule was about cut, commis- sion and corruption,â Shinde told reporters at Nagpur airport. He was replying to a reported statement by Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi the leader of cor- rupt people. Patoleâs statement re- portedly came in connec- tion with the clean chit given by Mumbai po- liceâs Economic Offenc- es Wing (EOW) to newly elected Mumbai North West Lok Sabha MP Ravindra Waikar of the Shinde-led Shiv Sena in the Jogeshwari civic land-luxury hotel case.

New criminal laws â A New Era of Criminal Justice System Three new criminal lawsâ the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023â came into effect on July 1, replacing the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, and the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Union Minister Bhupender Yadav, Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav, Inaugurate âEk Ped Maa Ke Naamâ Campaign In Indore; offer prayers at Ujjainâs Mahakaleshwar Temple. A 3-day national conference was held by Peace Builders Forum. Justice-Oriented Approach Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah described the new criminal laws as justice-oriented rather than punishment-focused, and victim-centric. Addressing Misconceptions Shah noted that misconceptions are being spread about these laws to create confu- sion among the public. He stated that every aspect of the new laws was extensively discussed with various stakeholders over four years. Indigenous Criminal Justice System Home Minister highlighted that after 77 years of independence, Indiaâs criminal justice system is becoming completely indigenous. The new laws have been implemented in every police station across the country. He mentioned that these laws replace punish- ment with justice, prioritize speedy trials over delays, and protect the rights of victims and complainants, not just the police. Constitutional Alignment And Prioritization The Home Minister also stated that the sections and chapters of the new laws are prioritized in accordance with the spirit of the Indian Constitution. Crimes against women and children are given the highest priority, with a new chapter dedicated to these offenses, comprising 35 sections and 13 provisions. Addressing Mob Lynching And Anti-National Activities For the first time, mob lynching has been defined, with severe punishments prescribed. The new laws also abolish the colonial-era sedition law, replac- ing it with provisions for severe punishment for anti-national activities that threaten Indiaâs unity and integrity. Technological Integration The new laws will see Zero-FIR, e-FIR, and charge sheets all being digital. Shah also highlighted that the laws set deadlines for completing procedures, aiming to end the endless wait for justice, with the potential for cases to reach the Supreme Court within three years of filing an FIR. First FIRs Under New Laws: On the first day of implementing the new criminal laws, Jammu Kashmir Police registered the first FIRs under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in Anantnag, Srinagar, Baramulla, Kulgam, and Police District Sopore. This marks the beginning of a new era in the justice delivery system. Way Forward To ensure the effective implementation of the new laws, continuous training programs should be conducted for police officers, investigators, and judicial staff. This will help them understand the nuances of the new legal framework and adapt to the technological advancements incorporated into the system. It is crucial to educate the public about the new laws to dispel any misconcep- tions and build trust in the new justice system. Awareness campaigns can help citizens understand their rights and the new legal processes, fostering greater cooperation with law enforcement agencies. The integration of technology in law enforcement should be continually upgraded to stay ahead of evolving crimi- nal activities. Developing and deploying advanced software tools, enhancing the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network Systems (CCTNS), and ensuring seamless digital documentation and e-governance are essential steps forward. Robust infrastructure is vital for the smooth implementation of new criminal laws.

INDIA 06 Jaipur, Monday | July 8, 2024 www.firstindia.co.in firstindia.co.in/epapers/jaipur thefirstindia thefirstindia thefirstindia SHARE MARKET ANALYSIS INVESTORS CAUTIOUS AMID MARKET SURGE Vimal Kothari Jaipur he countryâs stock markets have currently reached a new peak every week. Whatever index number the investors im- agine, the market is seen crossing that number after sometime.Lastweekalso the stock market repeated this and the BSE and Nif- ty index touched a new peak again. Although there was a slight decline in the BSE index last Fri- day, but in the last week that ended, the Indian stock markets have regis- tered a rise for the fifth consecutive week. While businessmen are hesitant about new investments due to the continuous rise in the market, the flow of money in the market con- tinues through Systematic InvestmentPlani.e.SIP.It is said that at present, eve- ry month an amount of 20 to 22 thousand crore ru- pees is coming in the mar- ketfrominvestorsthrough SIP, which is bound to be invested in the stock mar- ket. This can also be con- sidered a big reason for the rise in Indian markets. For the stock market, the upcoming budget and the June quarter results of listed companies, in addi- tion to the recent im- provement in crude oil prices, are some of the points that may delay the start of profit booking, i.e., may create a down- trend for a few days, but it is certain that the com- ing time is for the devel- opment of the Indian economy, which is also being reflected in the form of the rise in the In- dian stock market. At the technical level, 24200 points are now being considered as the support level for the NSE Nifty index, which indicates that if the Nifty index re- mains above this level, then there is a possibility of Nifty crossing the level of 24500 in the coming time. Despite a slight decline in the trading session end- ed on Friday, the BSE in- dex improved by 963.88 points (1.22%) last week and the BSE index closed at 79996.60 points after touching the highest level of 80392.64 points, while the NSE Nifty index rose by 313.25 points (1.30%) and it also closed at 24323.85 points after reaching 24401.00 points. The midcap and smallcap index also kept pace with the improvement in the market and there was a better improvement in it than the original index, which indicates the strength of the market in the coming times. The rising confidence in the Indian stock market can also be seen as a proof of the start of buying by foreign institutional in- vestors (FIIs), who were sellers till now, who bought goods worth Rs 6874.66 crore last week, althoughdomesticinstitu- tional investors (DIIs) who sold goods to FIIs, have also sold goods worth only Rs 385.2 crore. Talking about the bullion market, this week due to new international equations, the prices of gold and silver have once again improved and this week the prices of gold have increased by Rs 1400per10gramsandthe prices of silver have in- creased by Rs 4400 per kg. In Jaipur, the price of 24 carat gold improved from last weekâs Rs 73,600 per ten grams to Rs 75,000 per ten grams and silver increased from Rs 90,000 per kg to Rs 94,400 per kg. Regarding the market trend this week, traders say that there are high chances of instability in the market this week.The effect of international reasons will also be seen on the stock market. Traders believe that from the point of view of long- term investment, new investment can be made in companies with strong fundamentals in the mar- ket even at present, but if investors work patiently and wait for any profit booking in the market, then there will be more opportunities for profit for them. Some traders say that in the current situation, State Bank of India, Castrol, BEL, BHEL, Zomato, Indus Tower, John Cockrill In- dia etc. can be considered safe investments, but in- vestors should also keep in mind that if there is a decline, then even the shares considered strong are not untouched by it. They also believe that the profit in the stock market is only that which comes into the bank account, hence investors should also keep a regular watch on their portfolio. For in- vestors investing through IPO, no companyâs IPO is available in the main board this week, but the IPOs of three companies opened on the MSME platform and one com- pany Sahaj Solar will be able to try their luck de- spite a huge premium. On the other hand, among the new IPO ap- plications received by SEBI, 9 companies have submitted their Draft Herring Prospectus- DRHP and Revised Draft Herring Prospec- tus-DRHP this week.

Agencies Washington he worries Re- publican do- nors, has name recognition, and Demo- cratic Party heavy- weights are beginning to line up behind her. Vice President Kamala Harris would be Presi- dent Joe Bidenâs natural successor if he bowed to growing pressure and stepped aside as the Democratic candidate in the 2024 election, top Democrats say. Now party donors, ac- tivists and officials are asking: Does she have a better chance than Biden of beating Donald Trump? Biden is staying in the race, he has said repeatedly. Harris, 59, a former U.S. senator and Califor- nia attorney general, would be the first woman to become president of the United States if she were the partyâs nominee and prevailed in the Nov. 5 election. She is the first African American and Asian person to serve as vice president. Her three-and-a-half- year White House tenure has been characterized by a lackluster start, staff turnover, and early poli- cy portfolios including migration from Central America that did not pro- duce major successes.
