- Carla Bruni has been branded a prostitute in Iran for stating her views on stoning women. Why is it that men can have multiple partners and go unscathed but when women are found guilty there is a hue and cry about it.

New Delhi, Sept. 1: Mr Nehru gave the Lok Sabha details of the proposed Indo-Pakistan Canal Waters Treaty and said that it would take retrospective effect from April 1, 1960. A permanent Indus Commission consisting of an Indian and Pakistani officials would be set up.
The treaty also provides for a neutral expert to whom differences of a technical nature would be submitted for solution. A court of arbitration has been provided to deal with disputes in the treaty.
The treaty provides for a transitional period of 10 years during which India would supply water to Pakistan in a progressively diminishing scale. The period of 10 years could be extended by another three years at Pakistan’s request but the extension was subject to a reduction in India’s contribution of five per cent if it is two years and sixteen per cent if it is three years.
