4 Pay to publish Intro:-Election Commission s order disqualifying- MP Minister Narottam Mishra for three years is an important step in curbing paid news in the electoral arena. Not the first such order- UP MLA, Umlesh Yadav, was disqualified in 2011 on the same ground. EC has called paid news, a term that refers to propaganda in favour of a candidate masquerading (म ख ट ध रण) as news reports or articles, a grave electoral malpractice. Paid news is not an electoral offence yet EC has recommended to the government- Representation of the People Act, 1951, be amended to make the publishing, or abetting the publishing, of paid news to an electoral offence. A legal framework in which electoral issues are expeditiously adjudicated must also be put in place if election law is to be enforced in both letter and spirit.

5 New tech, old values Intro:- European Commission billion ($2.7 billion) fine on Google for the company s abuse of its market position. Commission found that Google abused its dominance in the Internet search market to give itself an unfair advantage in another market comparison shopping services. Google s comparison shopping service disadvantaged competitors by placing them lower in 1)-Its search results, 2)-Systematically giving Google s own services higher placement 3)-Greater visibility, 4)-Leading to more clicks. Required to pay the fine within 90 days Financial problems for Google, whose parent company, Alphabet, posted a profit of over $55 billion in Lowering of consumer choice and welfare, is good even when the market is new and changing rapidly, as happens at the technological frontier.

6 Continue White House refrained(परह ज) from getting involved after the EU fined Google. The fault lines between tech giants, which often act as supra-national entities, and national and multinational governmental bodies, are changing fast as the relationship between citizens, their governments, media and technology is transformed. In the years to come we can expect new lines to be drawn as technological frontiers are crossed. While technology is constantly changing, valuing choice, competition and consumer welfare never gets outdated or obsolete.

7 Continue Competition Commission of India is a statutory body of the Government of India. Responsible for enforcing The Competition Act, 2002 throughout India Prevent activities that have an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India. It was established on 14 October It became fully functional in May 2009 with Dhanendra Kumar as its first Chairman.

8 Fighting an old battle Intro:- The disabled have been affected by the high GST rates on essential aids and appliances. June 30, at the midnighthour, when the new Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime kicks in. Almost all aids and appliances that disabled people use such as a wheelchair, or a Braille typewriter or a hearing aid will become at least 5% more expensive. Since 2006, these items were not taxed! It is not clear why the GST Council is taxing disabled citizens of India. While items such as semi-precious stones are being taxed at a mere 0.25%, most disability goods are being charged at 5%. Council violates provisions- newly passed Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act, Appropriate Government shall develop schemes programmes to promote the personal mobility of persons with disabilities at affordable cost to provide for, (a) Incentives and concessions; (b) Retrofitting of vehicles; and (c) Personal mobility assistance.

9 Continue Six months since we passed the new disability law. By now, the Ministry of Finance and the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities should have at least set up a committee. We are very clearly demanding a complete rollback- zero-tax regime- As in 2006 It is like going back in a time capsule to the 1990s when wheelchairs were taxed at 30% and crutches(ब स ख ) at 25%! Jaswant Singh became the Finance Minister, he brought down the taxes to a 5% slab. Again, in 2006, the then Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, brought down the tax from 5% to 0% India must invest in its disabled population there are 70 million of us. If the disabled are able to step out of their homes; go to schools and colleges; get jobs on merit; and go to their workplaces and perform, they will obviously contribute to the nation s growth. Good quality and affordable aids and appliances are an essential prerequisite to this dream story of the disability sector thought leaders like me
