Kang becomes 1st in AAP to voice concern over Punjab's contentious land pooling policy

Chandigarh: Amid massive opposition to AAP govt's controversial land pooling policy in Punjab, AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang on Sunday advised his party's supremo, Arvind Kejriwal, and Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann to hear "objections raised by farmer unions on the policy". In a post on X on Sunday evening, Kang, who is the first AAP leader to publicly voice his concerns regarding the controversial policy, said, "Govt should move forward only after taking farmers and our farmer unions into confidence through dialogue." He called on the state govt to listen to the farmers with empathy and address their issues through meaningful dialogue. "My suggestion to @ArvindKejriwal ji and @BhagwantMann ji is that our govt has done a lot for the betterment of farmers in the last three years, such as ensuring uninterrupted power supply for agriculture, aiming to deliver canal water to every field, expediting mandi reforms, and promoting crop diversification, among other efforts. On this policy too, govt should move forward only after taking farmers and our farmer unions into confidence through dialogue," he said. Kang, who put out the post in both Punjabi and English, said, "On this too, trust must be earned – not assumed – before any policy takes root." The AAP govt in Punjab, led by Mann, has been facing criticism from opposition parties, farm unions, and farmers ever since it proposed the land pooling policy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain Knee pain | search ads Find Now Undo Under the policy, state govt plans to acquire more than 40,000 acres of land across the state for housing and industrial projects, promising residential and commercial plots of varied dimensions, depending on the contribution of land parcels by them, for the contributing landowners in the developed projects. All three main opposition parties in Punjab, the Congress, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), and the BJP, have been opposing the scheme, calling it a "land grabbing" scheme. Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar even termed it a "Ponzi scheme," even as the ruling AAP claimed it to be aimed at planned urbanisation in the state. Facing criticism over the policy, the AAP-led govt, after a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, approved a number of amendments to the policy. These amendments included annual compensation to the landowners, extending residential and commercial plot allotments to farmers with smaller landholdings, and issuing letters offering residential and commercial plots in a time-bound manner. The amendments aimed to allay the concerns of the farmers. However, criticism of the policy continued, with Kisan Mazdoor Morcha announcing protests against the policy on Wednesday. Opposing the policy, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) also demanded its rollback. |

Trump secures trade deal with EU, slashes tariffs to 15%; lands $750 billion energy deal and $600 billion investment

The United States and the European Union have reached a last-minute trade agreement that will impose a 15% tariff on EU goods entering the US, replacing the previously threatened 30% rate. The deal, reached just ahead of the August 1 deadline, was announced by President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen after a high-stakes meeting at Trump's Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. 'It was a very interesting negotiation. I think it's going to be great for both parties,' Trump said. President Trump noted the long-standing friction in trade relations between the US and Europe, saying: "We've had a hard time with trade with Europe, a very hard time.' 'I think the main sticking point is fairness.' Under the deal, the US will impose a baseline 15% tariff on EU exports — the same level Japan recently agreed to — including autos, which were previously taxed at 25%. 'We are agreeing that the tariff straight across, for automobiles and everything else, will be a straight across tariff of 15 percent," Trump confirmed. As part of the agreement, the EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion worth of US energy and investing $600 billion more into the American economy. Trump called the outcome 'a good deal for everybody,' while von der Leyen added: 'It will bring stability. It will bring predictability. That's very important for our businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.' The agreement reportedly mirrors the recent .S-Japan deal announced earlier in the week, which also featured a 15% import duty and avoided previously threatened higher tariffs. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick emphasised the urgency to push both sides to reach a consensus: 'No extensions, no more grace periods. August 1, the tariffs are set, they'll go into place, Customs will start collecting the money and off we go.' With EU trade deal sealed, six countries including — Britain, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan — have reached agreements with the Trump administration ahead of the upcoming Friday deadline, as the US moves to reshape the global free trade framework by imposing tariffs on nations it accuses of unfair trade practices. While the tariffs agreed upon by these countries are generally higher than the 10 percent base rate the US has applied to most nations since April, they remain significantly lower than the steep rates the Trump administration had threatened if no deals were secured.

‘Trump cheating at golf': Massive claim emerges amid Scotland trip; caddie video draws attention

A video of President Donald Trump playing golf during his Scotland trip has gone viral. The clip, showing the 79-year-old's caddie allegedly tossing a ball into the light rough near a bunker, has sparked a 'cheating' row. Now, several social media users claim that Trump was 'cheating at golf' - a sport he loves. US President Donald Trump waves from a golf cart at the Trump Turnberry golf course in Turnberry, Scotland(Bloomberg) Neither Trump nor the White House have responded to the renewed 'cheating' allegations yet. 'Trump caught cheating at golf, watch the second guy in the red vest toss a ball behind him,' one person wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.

First he cheated on his wife with children, and now he's cheating at golf. What low will he not stoop to?' another person tweeted. The two X users posted videos of the alleged 'cheating' incident. The video, recorded during Trump's Saturday round, shows him arriving at a bunker in a cart, followed by a caddie dropping a ball just short of the sand trap. Trump then approaches and hits from the new position, prompting accusations of 'cheating'. This echoes past allegations, including claims from Rick Reilly's book Commander in Cheat, which details the president's alleged habit of manipulating shots. President Trump's Scotland trip, with scheduled talks with EU and UK leaders, has drawn criticism. Several Democrats noted that the 79-year-old is spending most of his time at Turnberry and his Aberdeen course. Rick Reilly, who has played with the president, spoke to The Spun about Trump's golf habits - including taking unearned chip-ins and claiming he 'cannot lose' and will 'do anything to cheat'.

Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the deal Sunday at his golf club in Turnberry, Scotland, although they didn't disclose the full details.
