Former Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal returns Padma Vibhushan

    Former Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal returns Padma Vibhushan to protest "the betrayal of the farmers by govt of India"

Parkash Singh Badal is an Indian politician who was Chief Minister of Punjab state from 1970 to 1971, from 1977 to 1980, from 1997 to 2002, and from 2007 to 2017. He is also the patron of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), a Sikh-centered regional political party. He was the president of the party from 1995 to 2008, when he was replaced by his son Sukhbir Singh Badal. As the patron of SAD he exercises a strong influence on the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee and Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee. The Government of India awarded him the second-highest civilian award, Padma Vibhushan, in 2015.

The Indian farm reforms in 2020 refer to three agricultural bills passed by Indian Parliament in September 2020. The bills collectively seek to provide farmers with multiple marketing channels and provide a legal framework for farmers to enter into pre-arranged contracts among other things. The bills are the Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill. On 27 September 2020, they received approval from the President Ram Nath Kovind and became acts.

Protests against the acts picked up in November 2020. Farmers from the states of Punjab and Haryana have been the forefront of the protests. Former Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal has written to the President that he wishes to return his Padma Vibhushan award, to protest against the new farm laws.

weird Monster Jellyfish Take Aim at Japan

What’s 6 feet wide, weighs 440 pounds, and can ruin your whole day? If you’re a Japanese fisherman, the answer is weird monster jellyfish named Nomura’s jellyfish ( Nemopilema nomurai ), or, as the Japanese call it, echizen kurage . The gigantic creature can wreak havoc on fishing nets and their contents, destroying the nets and poisoning the catch. Even nuclear powerplants aren’t safe: Reports describe the jellyfish being sucked into pumps that draw seawater to cool the reactors. Echizen kurage have shown up in Japanese waters in increasing numbers in recent years. The population surge of 2005 was particularly bad, affecting the salmon , yellowtail , and anchovy fisheries . But the mass of them gathering now in the Yellow Sea of China is the biggest ever, and eventually ocean currents will deliver them to Japan’s doorstep.
