India in 'continuous dialogue' phase with IOC on 2036 Olympics bid: Sports Ministry
NEW DELHI: India's bid to host the 2036 Olympics is in the 'Continuous Dialogue' phase with the International Olympic Committee's Future Host Commission, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya told the Lok Sabha on Monday (August 11, 2025). In response to a query from Aam Aadmi Party's MP from Sangrur, Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, Mr. Mandaviya said the entire bidding process is being handled by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). "IOA has submitted a letter of intent to IOC. The bid is now in the 'Continuous Dialogue' phase with the Future Host Commission of IOC," the Minister stated in the lower house. The Minister, however, did not respond to Mr. Hayer's specific query of whether India is bidding to host the Olympics across multiple venues. Mr. Hayer asked if the proposed plan includes Hockey in Bhubaneswar, Rowing in Bhopal, Canoeing/Kayaking in Pune and Cricket in Mumbai. "Bidding to host the Olympic Games in India is the responsibility of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and allotment of hosting rights for the Olympics is done by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) through a detailed host selection process," Mr. Mandaviya stated. Although a host city has not been proposed by India officially, the Gujarat government has been at the forefront and its Sports Minister Harsh Sanghavi was part of an Indian delegation that visited IOC headquarters in Lausanne to discuss the bid last month.

Punjab MP Meet Hayer urges price cap on Medicines in Parliament
Chandigarh, July 30 (UNI) Sangrur MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer raised concerns over exorbitantly priced medicines, during the Zero Hour in Parliament today, urging the central government to impose a price cap on medicines with the same active ingredients. Highlighting the issue under the Drug Price Control Order (DPCO) 2013, Hayer noted that while prices of some essential medicines are regulated, commonly used drugs for conditions like blood pressure and diabetes lack price controls. He pointed out that medicines with identical solutions are sold at vastly different prices by different companies, with profit margins ranging from Rs. 300 to Rs. 1,000. 'A medicine made for Rs. 3 is sold for Rs. 10 by one company and Rs. 50 by another,' he said, calling it a widespread issue affecting affordability nationwide. Hayer urged the government to standardize prices for medicines with the same active ingredients to ensure fair access to healthcare. UNI NB RN

Delhi court denies bail to businessman in ₹48,000 crore PMLA fraud case
Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court has rejected the bail plea of businessman Harsatinder Pal Singh Hayer, accused in a money laundering case linked with the alleged cheating of investors to the tune of ₹48,000 crore. Hayer, the son-in-law of the late Nirmal Singh Bhangu, is one of the accused in the case linked to PACL. He is on bail granted by the Delhi High Court in a related case filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Special Judge (CBI) Jagdish Kumar rejected Hayer's bail plea in the money laundering case in view of the nature of allegations levelled against him. The court observed that the allegations against Hayer are that he has committed a white-collar economic offence involving the misappropriation of hard-earned money of gullible investors. "The gullible investors were allegedly duped to the tune of about ₹48,000 crores. The economic offences are considered grave in nature," the Special Judge stated in the order passed on July 25. The court also noted that the accused had allegedly attempted to destroy electronic evidence. "Although the trial of the case will take considerable time, considering the allegations against the accused and his role, I deem that he is not entitled to relief for enlarging him on bail. The application for grant of bail to the applicant/accused is dismissed accordingly," the order stated. During the hearing, the counsel for the accused, Harsatinder Pal Singh Hayer, argued that he had been in custody for about four months and that the investigation against him had been completed. So his further custody is not required. He also argued that Hayer was not the Director of any company which has allegedly collected money from gullible investors. He further contended that accused was not a guilty mind or knowledge that the amount infused in Australian companies were collected illegally hence it cannot be presumed that Hayer was having knowledge of the same being collected by illegal means. However, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), represented by Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Naveen Kumar Matta and Mohd. Faizan, opposed the bail plea. ED submitted that Hayer is the son-in-law of Shri Nirmal Singh Bhangoo, and he was also one of the Directors of the two Australian Companies, namely M/s Pearls Australasia Pty Ltd from February 2012 to January 2016, and M/s Australasia Mirage I-Pty Ltd from 13.02.2012 to 14.08.2014. These are the companies to which POCs, generated by duping gullible investors, were diverted via M/S. PIPL, an associate company of M/s. PACL, ED argued. The ED also argued that Hayder had deliberately not disclosed the properties being purchased from the proceeds of crime being layered through PACL and its associated entities, either in his personal account or in the accounts of companies of which he was a director. Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) for ED also argued that Hayer is one of the Directors of M/s Pearls Australasia Pty Ltd and M/s Australasia Mirage I-Pty Ltd, in which ₹657.18 Crore was infused. It was further argued that a FIR registered at Police Station Zira, Punjab in 2020 and through investigation of that FIR, facts were revealed that Hayer was involved in the sale and purchase of properties being acquired from the proceeds of crime laid by PACL.
