RJD MP demands list of deleted voters in Hindi
The list, published by the
Election Commission
on Aug 1, is currently available only in English, he said.
In his letter sent on Sunday, Singh expressed serious concerns over discrepancies in the voter list issued after the special intensive revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls were conducted in
Bihar
.
Singh said that Bihar is a predominantly Hindi-speaking state, and the use of English for such an important document would make it difficult to understand for the rural electors and booth-level agents (BLAs).
"Our BLAs are largely farmers, workers, and common people," Singh said, alleging, "Publishing this list exclusively in English appears to be a deliberate attempt to mislead and obstruct their ability to identify deleted names."

Ask EC to publish names, details of 65 lakh deleted voters: ADR plea in Supreme Court
The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) on Tuesday sought directions from the Supreme Court to the Election Commission to publish the name and details of around 65 lakh electors left out of the draft electoral rolls in Bihar. The SC is hearing a batch of petitions challenging the EC's June 24 order to conduct a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls across the country, starting with Bihar. The court is scheduled to hear the matters on August 12. In an application filed on Tuesday, the ADR, one of the petitioners, asked the court to direct the EC to publish the Assembly constituency and part or booth-wise list of names and details, including reasons (deceased, permanently shifted, duplicate or untraceable), of the around 65 lakh electors removed from the draft roll published on August 1. As part of the SIR exercise, the EC had ordered that only those voters who submit enumeration forms by July 25 would be included in the draft roll. Out of the total 7.89 crore registered electors in the state, the EC said forms had been received from 7.24 crore, meaning the remaining 65 lakh were removed. The EC said in a press note on July 25 that 22 lakh of these electors were found to have died, 35 lakh had either permanently migrated or could not be found and 7 lakh were registered in more than one place. According to EC sources, the lists provided to the booth level agents (BLAs) of political parties on July 20 included the names, EPIC numbers and reasons for removal of electors from each booth. The ADR, represented by Senior Advocate Prashant Bhushan, also asked that the EC publish an Assembly constituency and part or booth-wise list of the electors who were included in the draft roll but were in the category of 'not recommended' by the Booth Level Officers (BLOs), which means they could be removed from the final roll to be published on September 30. The petitioner said while the EC had provided a list of electors whose names had been deleted to the BLAs of a few political parties, the reasons for their removal were not mentioned in that list. It said that as per the lists provided to parties on July 20, when five days for submission of forms still remained, the reasons for uncollected forms was mentioned. But, in the lists provided on August 1, the column recording reason was not there. 'It is submitted that the list with names of 65 lakh deleted electors curiously fails to disclose the reason of non-submission of their enumeration forms, an information that the Election Commission evidently possesses. In other words, it fails to provide any explanation as to why these names were not included in the draft electoral rolls whether for reasons of having been deceased, permanently migrated out of Bihar, being untraceable or on the ground of duplicate entry,' ADR said. In a departure from the annual special summary revision and pre-poll revisions, this time, the EC decided to prepare the rolls afresh. All those added to the rolls after January 1, 2003, when the last intensive revision was done, are required to submit documents establishing their eligibility, including citizenship. Those born after July 1, 1987 are required to submit date and/or place of birth proof for one or both parents. Damini Nath is an Assistant Editor with the national bureau of The Indian Express.

President of wealthy Switzerland rushes to Washington to try to avert steep US tariffs
GENEVA — After weeks of working with U.S. officials to try to avoid hefty tariffs on Swiss goods, negotiators from Switzerland got assurances that a deal was all but done. Swiss businesses vowed to pour tens of billions in investment in the United States in the coming years. Still, President Donald Trump said no to any special deal. Now a scramble is underway ahead of Thursday, the deadline for when the whopping 39% tariff on Swiss products announced last week goes into effect. Switzerland's President Karin Keller-Sutter and other top officials traveled to Washington on Tuesday to try to convince Trump that the measure — among the highest from the Trump administration — was too much and could cut profits for famed Swiss industries like chocolates and watchmaking. The new rate is over 2 1/2 times higher than the one on European Union goods exported to the U.S. and nearly four times higher than on British exports to the U.S. — raising questions about Switzerland's ability to compete with the 27-member bloc that it neighbors. Under the U.S. announcements from last Friday, the export duties imposed on Swiss companies will now only be surpassed by those on firms from Laos, Myanmar and Syria, which are facing 40-41% rates. Switzerland's case is a lesson in do's and don'ts of doing business with Trump. The thinking goes, if a rich country with economic might that excels in technology, pharmaceuticals and finance can't convince the U.S. president to scale back the high tariffs, who can? Trump himself seems to be focused on a single, high number: Switzerland's trade surplus in goods with the U.S. In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Trump alluded to a recent call he had with Keller-Sutter, saying 'the woman was nice, but she didn't want to listen' and that he had told her: 'We have a $41 billion deficit with you, Madame.' It was not immediately clear where that $41 billion figure came from. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. ran a $38.3 billion trade imbalance on goods last year with Switzerland. That figure excludes exports of services. Keller-Sutter, who also serves as Switzerland's finance minister, has faced criticism in Swiss media over the last-ditch call with Trump before a U.S. deadline on tariffs expired Aug. 1, which some say appeared to make things worse. The 39% rate is even higher than the 31% on Swiss goods announced on Trump's 'Liberation Day' in early April — before the Swiss started negotiating with U.S. officials. The new figure took many Swiss business leaders by surprise. 'It's hard to negotiate when you're dealing with someone as unpredictable as Donald Trump,' said Ivan Slatkine, head of the Federation of Romandie Enterprises, which groups companies in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. 'We had a government that gave the impression the deal was done, it only awaited a signature from the president,' Slatkine told The Associated Press over the phone. 'We have the impression that we were punished, but we don't know why.' The United States is Switzerland's second-biggest trading partner after the EU, which nearly surrounds the Alpine country of more than 9 million. The Swiss government said Tuesday's trip was meant to 'facilitate meetings with the U.S. authorities at short notice and hold talks with a view to improving the tariff situation for Switzerland.' Swiss officials have argued that American goods face virtually zero tariffs in Switzerland, and the Swiss government says the wealthy Alpine country is the sixth-biggest foreign investor in the U.S. and the leading investor in research and development. Switzerland's powerful pharmaceutical industry — which promised tens of billions of investments in the U.S. in recent months amid the tariff worries — is exempt from the 39% rate. But Slatkine said the steep tariff level could be aimed to send Switzerland's Big Pharma — epitomized by Roche and Novartis — a message that it too could come under pressure. The trip comes a day after Switzerland's executive branch, the Federal Council, held an extraordinary meeting and said it was 'keen to pursue talks with the United States on the tariff situation,' according to a government statement. After consulting with Swiss businesses, the council said it had developed 'new approaches for its discussions' with U.S. officials and was looking ahead to continued negotiations. "Switzerland enters this new phase ready to present a more attractive offer, taking U.S. concerns into account and seeking to ease the current tariff situation," the council said. According to figures published by the Swiss Embassy in Washington, the U.S. has been Switzerland's most important goods export market since 2021, while Switzerland is the fourth most important export market for U.S. services — not goods. The bilateral trade volume in goods and services between Switzerland and the U.S. reached a total of $185.9 billion in 2023, the embassy says on its website.

Cotton export scam: Centre acts against 5 certifiers in state
Bhopal: A suspected scam involving the export of ordinary cotton falsely certified as organic has surfaced in the state, prompting the central govt to initiate action against five certification agencies. Responding to a question by Congress leader Digvijaya Singh in the Rajya Sabha, the central govt confirmed on Aug 1 that five certification bodies had faced punitive action over irregularities in the certification of organic cotton. Singh asked about the number of cases of organic cotton scam which have come to light so far in Madhya Pradesh. The number of FIRs which have been registered against certification agencies in the case of export of ordinary cotton in the name of organic cotton in the state, and the action that has been taken against them so far and the number of certification agencies that have been reinstated, out of those certification agencies whose registrations were cancelled, and the basis for their reinstatement. The minister of state in the ministry of commerce and industry, Jitin Prasada, stated in a written reply that the system for organic certification under National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP) involves a third-party certification system of organic processes and organic produce, which was certified across the supply chain by a certification body (govt or private). Cotton is covered under NPOP only till production level. Thereafter, the post production process including ginning, processing etc is done under private certification, and not covered under NPOP. In 2022, due to irregularities in certification of organic cotton, accreditation of two certification bodies was terminated while two certification bodies were suspended. In 2024, one more certification body was suspended for one year, for irregularities in the certification operations, including certification of organic cotton. With respect to the two terminated certification bodies, the said certification bodies are not in existence, under NPOP. With respect to the two certification bodies suspended in 2022, their period of suspension was for 6 months and 12 months. After the completion of this period, and complying with the accreditation requirements under NPOP, they were reinstated in 2024. In case of the certification body suspended in 2024, the period of operation of the suspension is for a period of 1 year, with effect from Oct 1, 2024, which is yet to be over, thus the said certification body is not in operation. The issue was also raised by Leader of Opposition in the state assembly Umang Singhar while speaking after the chief minister's address. In a passing reference, the LOP said if India wants to establish a strong global identity and maintain its credibility abroad, then the quality of our exported goods must meet international standards. He raised concerns over quality issues, citing frequent rejections and multiple scams ranging of crores and urged the chief minister to pay attention to these irregularities.
