Palestine recalls envoy for attending Hafiz rally

*Affirming ties with India and Palestine’s support to “India’s fight against

terror,” Palestinian Ambassador to India Adnan Abu Al Haija informed the

government on Saturday that the Palestinian Authority had decided to

recall its Ambassador to Pakistan, Walid Abu Ali, for sharing the stage

with LeT chief Hafiz Saeed.

*“What he did was not acceptable to my government. Palestine has very

close ties with India and has always supported India’s fight against terror.

As a result, [Ambassador Ali] has been recalled to Ramallah by the

government,” Ambassador Al Haija said in exclusive comments to The

Hindu.

*“unintended mistake, but not justified.”

*“The State of Palestine affirms its stand with the Republic of India in

dealing with terrorist threats, as our nations are real partners in the war

against terrorism,” the statement said.

*Earlier on Saturday, India had conveyed its strong protest on the matter

to Ambassador Al Haija, who met with Secretary, Economic Relations,

Vijay Gokhale at the Ministry of External Affairs in Delhi.

*“Government of India has strongly conveyed to the Palestinian side that

the Palestinian Ambassador in Pakistan's association with terrorist Hafiz

Saeed, who is proscribed by the United Nations… is unacceptable,” a

statement issued by the MEA after the meeting said, adding that India

had taken up the matter in both Delhi and Ramallah.

*While the rally had been held to express solidarity on Jerusalem’s status, anti-India slogans on Kashmir were raised as well, according to local reports.

*The move by the Palestinian Ambassador to Pakistan was considered particularly insulting as it came close on the heels of India’s vote at the U.N. General Assembly in support of the two-state solution and criticising the U.S. and Israel for supporting a shift in Jerusalem’s status. Palestine had welcomed India’s vote.

*Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Palestine in early 2018, and the decision of the Palestinian diplomat to support one of India’s most wanted terrorists could cast a shadow on the plans.

Visa being denied to pilgrims: Pak.

*Pakistan said on Saturday that India has rejected the visa applications of 192 Pakistani Zaireen who were scheduled to visit Delhi to participate in the Urs of Hazrat Khawaja Nizamuddin Aulia (R.A) from January 1 to 8.

*The visit was to take place under the provisions of the 1974 Pakistan-India Protocol on ‘Visits to Religious Shrines’ and is a regular, annual feature.

*“As a result of this Indian decision, the Pakistani Zaireen would be deprived of the opportunity to participate in the Urs, which is of special significance. This is unfortunate and runs counter to the letter and spirit of the 1974 Protocol and the objective of people-to-people contacts,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

*The Ministry said that earlier this year, despite Pakistan’s offer of

sending a special train, Indian delays had resulted in Sikh pilgrims from

India being unable to participate in the Martyrdom Anniversary of Guru

Arjan Dev and the death anniversary of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

*Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, who was a symbol of bringing communities

closer to each other.

*However, a senior official confirmed that the decision to deny the visas

to Pakistani pilgrims at short notice was a deliberate one. This has raised

speculation that the decision was made because ties had deteriorated

further this week after the meeting of Kulbhushan Jadhav with his

family.

Bill plans synergies among medical streams

*Doctors pursuing the Indian systems of medicine, including Ayurveda, and homoeopathy may be allowed to practise allopathy after clearing a bridge course, says a Bill introduced in the Lok Sabha.

*The National Medical Commission Bill, 2017, which seeks to replace the Medical Council of India (MCI) with a new body, was moved by the government in the House on Friday.

*Clause 49 of the Bill calls for a joint sitting of the National Medical Commission, the Central Council of Homoeopathy and the Central Council of Indian Medicine at least once a year “to enhance the interfacebetween homoeopathy, Indian Systems of Medicine and modern systems of medicine”.

*The Bill has also proposed that specific educational modules or programmesfor developing bridges across the various systems and promotion of medical pluralism, can be done with the approval of all the members present in the joint sitting.

*The commission will have a government-nominated chairman and members, and the board members will be selected by a search committee under the Cabinet Secretary, it says.

*A 25-member commission will replace the elected MCI, the Bill says.

*The proposed measure has been strongly opposed by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), which claimed that it will “cripple” the functioning of the profession by making it answerable to the bureaucracy and non-medicaladministrators.

*The Bill also proposes a common entrance exam and licentiate (exit) examwhich all medical graduates will have to clear to get practising licences. The licentiate (exit) examination will have to be conducted within three years after Parliament passes it.

Assam gets D1,250 crore Central fund for inland water transport

*Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday announced that D1,250 crore has been sanctioned for overall development of inland water transport of

Assam.

*The Union Minister for Road Transport, Highways and Shipping asked the

State water resources department to involve a foreign consultant, if

required, for preparing the Detailed Project Report (DPR) within three

months.

*Ro-ro is ‘roll-on, roll-off’ ferry service in which people and goods

including vehicles would be ferried.

Must respect religion, culture: Naidu

*Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said religion was a way of worship and culture a way of living and that the two must be respected.

*Speaking at the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce here, he said irrespective of the different languages spoken in the country, all its people were Indians.

*“Religion is a way of worship and culture is a way of living. We must respect that. Irrespective of the languages we speak, we are all Indians and we are one nation,” Mr. Naidu said.

*He added that though India was poised to be among the top global economies in 10 to 15 years, there were challenges to overcome.

*“There are challenges like poverty. These challenges have to be fought together and everyone has to participate,” Mr. Naidu said, adding that Parliament needed to function properly to address these issues.

New endemic ants from the Andamans

*Scientists have discovered two new ant species of the genusTetramorium in the evergreen forests of the archipelago.

*Tetramorium krishnani and Tetramorium jarawa

*The species are named in honour of late scientist K.S. Krishnan of the NCBS, and after the Jarawas, an indigenous people of the islands, who are thought to have inhabited the islands for at least several thousand years.

*The newly discovered ants dwell in leaf litter in the evergreen forests of Havelock Island and are endemic to the Andamans.

*In a first for India, the team used a novel X-ray micro CT technology to build 3D models of the ant specimens to observe anatomical structures in detail for easier taxonomic identification of the species.

JNCASR adds more security to LiFi

*Like WiFi, the light-fidelity (LiFi) technology that uses both visible and

near-visible light is used for free-space communication.

*While microwaves used in WiFi technology to transmit signals can pass

through walls, visible and near-visible light that carry the LiFi signal

cannot, thus making the network more secure.

*Detectors can receive both direct and reflected signals.

*“We can now use the light emitted by the phosphorescent paint as a

source of signal by using an appropriate modulator,” says Prof. Narayan.

This would mean that signal transmission can continue for hours even

when light source has been turned off. “This was not a targeted

research. This idea just came about and we had some fun. But it has

opened up an interesting area of research,” says Prof. Narayan.

Double Trouble

*A double whirlpool has been reported for the first time by

oceanographers from UK. Satellite images showed two whirlpools

spinning in opposite directions in the Tasman Sea.

*The report published in Geophysical Research Letters shows that the

whirls can span over a hundred kilometers.

NASA's new telescope to see big picture of universe

*Scheduled to launch in the mid-2020s, the Wide FieldInfrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) will function as Hubble's wide-eyed cousin, NASA said.

*While just as sensitive as Hubble's cameras, WFIRST's 300-megapixel Wide Field Instrument will image a sky area 100 times larger.

*This means a single WFIRST image will hold the equivalent detail of 100 pictures from Hubble, according to the US space agency.

*The mission's wide field of view will allow it to generate never-before-seen big pictures of the universe, which will help astronomers explore some of the greatest mysteries of the cosmos, including why the expansion of the universe seems to be accelerating, NASA said.

Hackers can guess PINs using your smartphone's sensor data

*Instruments in smart phones such as the gyroscope and proximity sensorsrepresent a potential security vulnerability, said researchers from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore.

*Using machine learning algorithms and a combination of information gathered from six different sensors found in smart phones, researchers succeeded in unlocking Android smart phones with a 99.5 per cent accuracy within only three tries, when tackling a phone that had one of the 50 most common PIN numbers.

*The researchers believe their work highlights a significant flaw in smart phone security, as using the sensors within the phones require no permissions to be given by the phone user and are openly available for all apps to access.
