Logjam in Lok Sabha continues: House adjourned till 3 PM
New Delhi, Aug 8 (UNI) Lok Sabha was today adjourned till 3 PM after Opposition members continued to protest over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar demanding a discussion on the issue. This is the second adjournment of the House on the issue. The House adjourned at 11 immediately after it assembled for the day. However, it was adjourned till 12 noon amid protests by the Opposition. As soon as the House reconvened at 12 noon, presiding officer Krishna Prasad Tenneti informed the House that Speaker Om Birla has not allowed any adjournment notices submitted by MPs. Meanwhile, Opposition members continued to protest, demanding a discussion on SIR. Amid the commotion, Tenneti asked the Opposition members to maintain dignity in the House. The visibly upset officiating Chair said, "You cannot bang the table like this. This is Parliament, this is Lok Sabha. People have elected you to represent them decently. You are suppose to behave responsibly. This is not the way. This is not done. Entire country is watching". "I take very strong objection to the banging of table of the Hon'ble Speaker. This will go on record," he warned. "I am again requesting you that very important bill are to be taken up in this session. You cannot storm the Well like this. You are not allowing the business to be taken up. There are very objectionable behaviour patterns that I am observing," Tenneti said. He again urged the protesting members to allow the House to function and amid commotion, he adjourned the House till 3 PM. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla informed the House about the demise of former member Satyapal Malik. The House paid tribute to Malik. Birla also informed the House about the Quit India Movement that began on August 9, 1942, and paid homage to the martyrs. After that, the Speaker initiated the Question Hour. However, Opposition members entered the Well of the House holding placards and shouting slogans, leading to a ruckus. Despite the commotion, the Speaker tried to continue with the Question Hour, but the noise kept escalating. Birla while appealing to the protesting members, to go back to their seats, said that the Question Hour was important and the House should be allowed to function. He stated that shouting slogan in the House is not in line with parliamentary tradition. He added that members were deliberately disrupting the House, and the whole country was watching. When the Speaker's appeal had no effect on the protesting members and the uproar continued, he adjourned the proceedings of the House till 12 noon. UNI RBE RB 1307

Trump calls for Intel boss to resign immediately
Washington, Aug 7 (UNI) US President Donald Trump has called on the head of US chipmaker Intel to resign "immediately", accusing him of having problematic ties to China. In a social media post, he said CEO Lip-Bu Tan was "highly conflicted", apparently referring to Mr Tan's alleged investments in companies that the US says are tied to the Chinese military. It is unusual for a president to demand the resignation of a corporate executive. Intel, which has received billions of dollars from the government to support semiconductor manufacturing in the US, did not respond to a request for comment. Mr Tan was appointed in March to turn around the tech giant, as it fell behind China and other competitors in chips development, media reports said. A naturalised US citizen born in Malaysia and raised in Singapore, he is a venture capitalist well-known for his expertise in the semiconductor industry. In an update to investors this week, he said the firm would be scaling back its investments in manufacturing, including in the US, to match demand from customers. Intel has already cut thousands of jobs this year as part of an effort to "right-size" the firm. Shares in Intel fell more than 3% by midday after the attack from Trump, who has been critical of the firm previously and is preparing to raise tariffs on the chip industry. "The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem," Trump wrote, BBC reported. It is not illegal for Americans to invest in Chinese firms. But Washington has ramped up restrictions since Trump's first term, as it pushes to break business ties between the US and China when it comes to advanced technology, as both Democrats and Republicans openly worry about national security. Trump's attack took up concerns aired by Republican Senator Tom Cotton this week in a letter to Intel's board that said Mr Tan's "associations raise questions about Intel's ability" to be a "responsible steward of American taxpayer dollars and to comply with applicable security regulations". In a statement earlier this week, Intel defended its relatively new chief executive, saying Mr Tan and the company were "deeply committed to the national security of the US and the integrity of our role in the US defense ecosystem". Trump is known for targeting business leaders with public criticism to a degree unheard of with other presidents. But, even by his standards, the demand that the leader of a private company resign is extraordinary. "Intel has been a hope for America to build out more chip capacity and has struggled to do so to date," said Janet Egan, senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. "It's important that we get continuity of leadership to support that ramping up of capacity." UNI XC GNK
