Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on the 71st Independence Day from the ramparts of the historic Red Fort. The PM concluded his speech with chants of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai ... Vande Mataram ... Jai Hind!” Here are 25 attractive points from the PM’s I-Day speech:

1.    In the five years from our 70th year of Independence to the 75th year of Independence, let's pledge to work together to bring this change.

2.    We will create an India where the poor owns a house and has access to electricity and water. An India, where the farmer sleeps in peace and grows his income two-fold by 2022. An India, where the young women get opportunities in every field. An India, which is free of terrorism, corruption, dynasty politics, communalism and casteism. And finally, an India which is clean and healthy. Let's move together in this path of development.

3.    We are taking the nation on a new track (of development) and are moving ahead with speed.

4.    We are fighting corruption - for the bright future of India and the wellbeing of our people.

5.    We are devoting significant attention to eastern India - Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, Odisha and the Northeast. These areas have to grow further.

6.    Corruption will not be tolerated in the country. Everyone will be answerable

7.    Black money worth Rs 2 lakh crore was recovered post demonetization. We have also cancelled the registration of as many as 1.75 lakh companies.

8.    We will not tolerate violence in the name of faith. Before freedom, the slogan was 'Bharat chhodo (Quit India). Today, it should be 'Bharat Jodo' (Bring India together).

9.    I want to mention those women who have to suffer due to 'Tripe Talaq'- I admire their courage. We are with them in their struggles.

10.    We are nurturing our youngsters to be job creators and not job seekers.

11.    We will continue our fight against black money, corruption and use technology to bring in more transparency.

12.    Neither gaali (abuse), nor goli (bullet) will bring a change. The change will take place when we embrace every Kashmiri.

13.    There is no question of being soft on terrorism or terrorists.

14.    India's stature in the world is rising. The world is with us in fighting the menace of terror. I thank all nations helping us doing so.

15.    GST has shown the spirit of cooperative federalism. The nation has come together to support GST & the role of technology has also helped.

16.    Those who have looted the nation and looted the poor are not able to sleep peacefully today.

17.    We have to leave this 'Chalta Hai' attitude. We have to think of 'Badal Sakta Hai'- this attitude will help us as a nation.

18.    In our nation, no one is big or small...everybody is equal. Together we can bring a positive change in the nation.

19.    1st January 2018 will not be an ordinary day- those born in this century will start turning 18. They are Bhagya Vidhatas of our nation.

20.    Our country showcased a collective power between 1942 to 1947, let us show the same power and commitment over the next 5 years.

21.    We have to take the country ahead with the determination of creating a 'New India'.

22.    2017 is a special year - this year we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of Quit India, 100th anniversary of Champaran Satyagraha and 125th anniversary of Ganesh Utsav.

23.    People of India stand shoulder to shoulder with those affected due to natural disasters and the tragedy in Gorakhpur.

24.    We remember the great women and men who worked hard for India's freedom.

25.    From Sudarshan Chakradhari Mohan to Charkhadhari Mohan, today we are celebrating both our cultural and historical heritage.

Yes. To get rid of terrorism, stop poking nose into things that don't concern your country. Actually, this "terrorism" is a thing created to diver people's attention from real priorities. 

 

India as nation first? -India was formed only in 1947. Religion and culture existed since the time human civilization existed. Before 1947 India included pakistan and bngladesh. and before the british, we had kingdoms within today's Inida, ruled by mughals, marathas, cholas, nawabs, nayaks. With the way these morons are imposing culture and forcing religion on people, I don't this idea of unified nation will last long.

The United States of America has bought almost the entire world's supply of remdesivir, one of just two drugs proven to treat COVID-19. 

“President Trump has struck an amazing deal to ensure Americans have access to the first authorised therapeutic for Covid-19,” said the US health and human services secretary, Alex Azar. 

“To the extent possible, we want to ensure that any American patient who needs remdesivir can get it. The Trump administration is doing everything in our power to learn more about life-saving therapeutics for Covid-19 and secure access to these options for the American people.”

The announcement implies that no other country in the world will be able to buy remdesivir for next three months at least.

The anti-viral drug patented by the US-based Gilead biotech firm is the only one approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to treat patients with the novel coronavirus.

The Trump administration has already shown that it is prepared to outbid and outmanoeuvre all other countries to secure the medical supplies it needs for the US.

“They’ve got access to most of the drug supply [of remdesivir], so there’s nothing for Europe,” said Dr Andrew Hill, senior visiting research fellow at Liverpool University.

Remdesivir, the first drug approved by licensing authorities in the US to treat Covid-19, is made by Gilead and has been shown to help people recover faster from the disease. 

The first 140,000 doses, supplied to drug trials around the world, have been used up. The Trump administration has now bought more than 500,000 doses, which is all of Gilead’s production for July and 90% of August and September.

Bengaluru, May 9: The bar owners in Karnataka, while welcoming the state government's decision to allow takeaway sales of liquor, said that the move is not going to benefit them much.

Venkatesh Babu, a Bengaluru-based bar owner said, "We welcome this move, our bar was closed for two months due to coronavirus crisis. We have been facing losses since then."

"The state government has told us to sell our stocks at maximum retail price (MRP). It is difficult for us to manage as the rent is high and we also have to pay salaries," he added.

The owner of Pingara Bar and Restaurant, Shivamogga said, "The government has said that is for parcel only and that too at MRP. There is no benefit to our business. We are only clearing the existing stock. They have given us time till May 17 and are not even giving us fresh stock. We are only allowed to sell what we have already."

Karnataka government in its Friday order allowed restaurants, pubs and bars to sell liquor at retail prices from May 9 till May 17, the day the third phase of lockdown is slated to end.

Earlier, the government had allowed the opening of liquor shops in order to mobilise revenue.

However, bars, pubs, restaurants were ordered to remain closed amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
