The statement has turned a blind eye to the realities
Riyadh cut its diplomatic ties with Tehran in response. Jeddah: The world&China
Aluminum/Stainless Steel Open Type Blind Rivets Company039;s largest Muslim
body has backed Saudi Arabia in its weeks-long diplomatic spat with Iran,
accusing Tehran of backing terrorism and meddling in other countries'
affairs.Iran is a member of the OIC and its Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas
Araqchi attended the meeting."(The OIC) condemns Iran's interference in the
internal affairs of countries in the region and other countries, including
members (Bahrain, Yemen, Syria and Somalia) and the continuation of its support
for terrorism," the body added.In its final statement on Thursday evening, the
OIC condemned the attacks on Saudi missions and criticised "inflammatory Iranian
statements on the implementation of court rulings against a number of
perpetrators of terrorist crimes in Saudi Arabia".The OIC, based in the Saudi
city of Jeddah, gathered for an exceptional meeting called by Riyadh over the
storming of its embassy and consulate by Iranian protesters on January 2."The
statement has turned a blind eye to the realities of Saudi embassy event and
Iranian government's speedy measures in providing security restoring calm and
detaining those responsible for the event," said Hossein Jaberi Ansari."The goal
of such meetings is an attempt to provide coverage to the policies of discord,
war-mongering and support for state terrorism of Saudi Arabia.The crisis erupted
when Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia executed Shi'ite Muslim cleric Nimr al-Nimr
earlier that day, triggering outrage among Shi'ites across the region and
deepening the political and sectarian rift between the kingdom and the Islamic
republic."Analysts say the dispute may dampen chances for peace talks to end
wars in Yemen and Syria, where the two regional archrivals back opposing
sides.Tehran rejected the statement by The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC) as "unacceptable" on Friday, and in turn accused it of supporting "Saudi
state terrorism".

The National Investigation Agency will seek the help of Pakistan in solving the
Pathankot terror attack case once the identity of people contacted by the
perpetrators is established. India is also expected to send to Pakistan a letter
rogatory (LR) along with DNA samples of slain terrorists, their phone call
details, numbers of handlers based in that country and other information to help
nab the mastermind of the crime. The agency on Monday registered three cases in
connection with the brazen terror strike, including the murder of a taxi driver
by suspected terrorists, kidnapping of a superintendent China

Investigation Agency will seek the help of Pakistan in solving the Pathankot
terror attack case once the identity of people contacted by the perpetrators is
established. When asked about the nationality of the terrorists involved in
Pathankot attack, NIA chief said there was little doubt that the accused were
from Pakistan. The agency sleuths will thoroughly examine Punjab Police SP
Salwinder Singh, who was kidnapped along with a jeweller friend and a cook by
the terrorists. The NIA will verify the antecedents of Mr Singh, the purpose of
his visit to the secluded area in Pathankot at the odd hours and why he was not
accompanied by any of his PSOs besides others, sources added. "It’s a very
challenging case and a lot of investigation needs to be done.NIA chief Sharad
Kumar on Tuesday said solving the conspiracy behind the attack is a very big
challenge, but recalled how the agency had in the past established the identity
of culprits in many blind cases. Therefore, I am not fixing any deadline to the
case, but we will try to complete the probe soon," Mr Kumar said

The England forward struck in the 24th minute, running onto Christian Fuchs’s
pass and arrowing a shot past David de Gea to break a record he had previously

The birds do not usually fight to the death
The birds do not usually fight to the death, as in many parts of the world, but
they can still inflict fatal damage to their opponents in the contests almost

exporting cocks to neighbouring countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia and
buyers arriving from as far afield as France and Bahrain.The official view
supports cockfighting as an intrinsic part of Thai culture.But some Thais are
fighting for an end to the practice in a country where the concept of animal
welfare is only slowly emerging.His prize is on the lower end of a betting
spectrum in a nation where most forms of gambling are outlawed.The legislation
bans "torture and cruelty towards animals" but exempts activities deemed part of

animal rights groups."We don’t think it’s violence as it’s a kind of sport,"

rural birthplace before bringing the hobby to the heart of the Thai capital

Roger Lohanan, founder of Thai Animal Guardians Association."We’ve had

their feet, Thailand’s birds usually compete with their spurs wrapped in
fabric."It’s a way to preserve ancient Thai culture and pass it on to our

Tobacco contributes a major percentage of the total
The study, however, did not consider other areas of the tobacco sector Self-clinching such as health issues. It
cuts across a diverse set of constituents across its entire value chain,"
Assocham said. Tobacco contributes a major percentage of the total value of
commercial crops in India generating huge socio- economic benefits in terms of
agricultural employment, farm incomes, revenue generation and foreign exchange
earnings. On the farming conditions, the report said tobacco is produced in the
worst farming belts of the country with poor soil quality unfit to grow many
other crops.The tobacco sector is ranged from farmers, who are involved in its
cultivation, along with farm workers and labourers, processing units,
transporters, trade channel, manufacturing units, brand owners as well as to the
exports operations, the chamber said.5 million workers in processing,
manufacturing and exports and 7.India is a leading tobacco exporter with exports
of leaf tobacco and tobacco products contributing Rs 6,000 crore annually. The
cascading effects of the socio-economic benefits of the tobacco industry on
other sectors of the economy have been overlooked by the studies which were done
so far," the Director claimed."While doing this, the benefits accrued to all the
stakeholders in the value chain have been taken into consideration.57 crore
people." Indian tobaccos are exported to over 100 countries.The previous studies
also did not assess the compounding effect of tobacco sector on livelihoods of
people, who indirectly earn, such as people engaged in packaging, warehousing,
flavour and fragrance, paper, jute, mentha, areca nut, transporters along with
input industries like fertilisers and pesticides, the report said.India produces
tobaccos of different grades and types for various end users, providing a
one-stop shop for different styles, qualities and price ranges for global
customers.2 million workers in retailing and trading," the study said. "Out of
the total net exports, the non-manufactured tobacco has a significant share
amounting to Rs 4,173 crore and the balance of around Rs 1,830 crore includes
tobacco products like cigars, cheroots, cigarillos and cigarettes," the report
said. TARI Director Kshama V Kaushik said for the first time the economic
contribution made by the tobacco sector to Indias economy has been quantified.
(Photo: File) Guwahati: In its latest study on the economic aspect of tobacco,
industry chamber Assocham has found that the sector contributes a whopping Rs
11,79,498 crore to Indian economy and provides jobs to an estimated 4.Conducted
by the Thought Arbitrage Research Institute (TARI) on behalf of the Assocham,
the study said the figures were arrived at by measuring the total cumulative
intrinsic economic value generated by the sector over the years. The Assocham
study said, "India accounts for five per cent value share of the USD 12 billion
global tobacco leaf export trade."There is established data that India is a
leading tobacco exporter with exports of leaf tobacco and tobacco products
contributing around Rs 6,000 crore annually in terms of foreign exchange to the
government."Tobacco growing is highly labour intensive, yet remunerative
compared to food crops.Tobacco contributes a major percentage of the total value
of commercial crops in India generating huge socio- economic benefits in terms
of agricultural employment, farm incomes, revenue generation and foreign
exchange earnings.7 million people in India depend on the tobacco sector for
their livelihoods. It comprises six million farmers, 20 million farm labours,
four million leaf pluckers, 8. It can grow on soil of poor fertility and can
withstand variations in weather conditions better than other crops, especially
in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Gujarat," it added."It has been
well known that about 45."Tobacco sector was chosen as the subject of the study
because of its spread right from the farms to the local and the international
