NEW DELHI: A war of words erupted between Congress MP Manish Tewari and Bharatiya Janata Party’s Sambit Patra after the former warned that India could soon face a robot-driven Chinese Army on the Line of Actual Control.In a social media post on X, Tewari said that “impressive development of humanoid robots” by China should give India a “reality check.””If India is not careful it could be very soon fighting a robot PLA on the LAC . The impressive development of humanoid robots by China should give us a reality check that despite all the bombast of being an emerging great power really how far behind we are qua China in the technology game – and this is only one of the genres,” Tewari said.”China is today ahead of the US in 67 of the 75 critical technologies,” he added.BJP MP Patra countered Tewari and accused Congress of spreading misinformation and discouraging Indian Army.”First we have to fight the Congress mindset at the LoC, and at the international borders also. Because they are the ones who in fact are the prop-ups of our enemies. They are the ones who spread misinformation. They are the ones who were found inside the Chinese tent when the Doklam standoff was taking place,” Patra said.He also attacked leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, terming him as “Chinese robot.””They were the ones who were discouraging Indian Army when Indian Army and the Chinese army were hand-on-hand.

After the pilot in command of Air India’s Aug 4 Phuket-Delhi flight had reportedly tested positive, govt had directed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to review the existing rules for these tests.“The DGCA is having stakeholder consultation right now on what the current regulation says and how do we ensure there is a strict policy around this (drug tests for pilots) in the future. This consultation is going on right now. There are multiple ways of approaching this dope test. So right now the rule says 10% across the overall pilot network but just like I said DGCA is engaging and one of the opinions from our side is that everyone has to go through it in the year at a random time,” Union aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu said Tuesday.“We have to see how all the stakeholders are going to respond to this because one is the safety aspect of to ensure safety intact and the second is the operational impact. That also has to be taken into consideration.. We are going to balance both. If we do 100%, if every pilot has to go through the dope test once a year, then what can happen, what can be the impact of that, that is what DGCA is looking at,” Naidu added.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesAir India group has initiated a one-time dope test on all its pilots.

After the pilot in command of Air India’s Aug 4 Phuket-Delhi flight had reportedly tested positive, govt had directed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to review the existing rules for these tests.“The DGCA is having stakeholder consultation right now on what the current regulation says and how do we ensure there is a strict policy around this (drug tests for pilots) in the future. This consultation is going on right now. There are multiple ways of approaching this dope test. So right now the rule says 10% across the overall pilot network but just like I said DGCA is engaging and one of the opinions from our side is that everyone has to go through it in the year at a random time,” Union aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu said Tuesday.“We have to see how all the stakeholders are going to respond to this because one is the safety aspect of to ensure safety intact and the second is the operational impact. That also has to be taken into consideration.. We are going to balance both. If we do 100%, if every pilot has to go through the dope test once a year, then what can happen, what can be the impact of that, that is what DGCA is looking at,” Naidu added.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesAir India group has initiated a one-time dope test on all its pilots.
