Amit Shah’s Baramulla rally reflects change in the Valley: BJP
First India Bureau
New Delhi: A senior
BJP leader said on
Thursday that it was
well after three decades
that a senior Union
minister has addressed
a rally in Baramulla, a
north Kashmir district
once considered as a
hotbed of militancy,
and the large turnout at
Amit Shah’s rally there
indicated the changing
situation in the Valley
.
BJP leaders also said
they will have no truck
with any party that ad-
vocates dialogue with
Pakistan, in an appar-
ent reference to the Val-
ley’s two main political
parties, the National
Conference and the Peo-
ples Democratic Party
.
“Why should we
speak to Pakistan which
has promoted terrorism
in our land for bringing
peace in a part of our
country?” a senior par-
ty leader said in an in-
teraction with report-
ers. “Our government is
working to root out
militants,” he asserted.
BJP sources also dis-
counted the possibility
of having any alliance
with the Democratic
Azad Party, which was
recently launched by
Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Rejecting any dia-
logue with Pakistan,
Shah on Wednesday
said his government
was more interested in
talking to the people of
J&K, and assured them
that assembly polls will
be held with “full trans-
parency”.
At his first public
rally in the Valley since
the abrogation of Arti-
cle 370, Shah, in his
27-minute speech at
Showkat Ali stadium,
trained his guns at
“three families”, “Mufti
and company” and “Ab-
dullah and sons”. P5

Girl gang-raped by seniors in Kendriya Vidyalaya, FIR now
New Delhi (PTI): An
11-year-old student
was allegedly gang-
raped by two seniors
inside the washroom
of a Kendriya Vidya-
laya in the national
capital, police said on
Thursday.
The Kendriya Vidya-
laya Sangathan’s re-
gional office has also
ordered an enquiry
into the issue.
The alleged incident
had taken place in July
but the victim ap-
proached the police on
Tuesday only after the
matter was highlighted
by the Delhi Commis-
sion for Women (DCW).
The DCW, which
termed the incident as
a “serious matter”, is-
sued a notice to Delhi
Police and the school
principal on the issue.
The school authori-
ties have been asked to
inform why the inci-
dent was allegedly not
reported to the police
by them.
Officials of the Ken-
driya Vidyalaya San-
gathan (KVS) main-
tained that the inci-
dent was not reported
to the school principal
by the victim or her
parents and has only
come to light following
police investigation.
KVS is an autonomous
body under the Minis-
try of Education and it
oversees over 1,200
KVs that are spread
across 25 regions in
the country.
According to the po-
lice, the victim filed a
complaint on Tuesday
and immediately a case
was registered.
DCW Chairperson
Swati Maliwal said,
“We have received a
very serious case of
gang-rape with an
11-year-old student in-
side a school in Delhi.
The girl has alleged
that her school teacher
tried to hush up the
matter. It is very unfor-
tunatethatevenschools
are unsafe for children
in the capital.”
She demanded strict
action in the matter.
“Also an enquiry
into the role of school
authorities must be
conducted on the is-
sue,” Maliwal added.
According to the
Commission, the mi-
nor alleged that in July
while she was going to
her classroom, she col-
lided with two boys
from her school study-
ing in Class 11 and 12.
“She said that she
apologised to the boys
but they started abus-
ing her and took her
inside a toilet. She al-
leged that the boys
locked the toilet door
from inside and raped
her. She stated that
when she informed the
incident to a teacher,
she was told that the
boyshavebeenexpelled
and the matter was al-
legedly hushed up,” a
DCW statement said.
KVS officials said no
complaint regarding
the matter was re-
ceived by the school
authorities.
“The regional office
of KVS is investigating
the issue. The incident
was not reported to the
principal by the girl or
her parents. The issue
was also not raised at a
parent-teacher meet-
ing held after the inci-
dent,” a senior KVS
official said.
“The issue has come
to our notice only
through police investi-
gation. We are cooper-
ating with Delhi Police
in its proceedings,” the
official added.
The police officials
said that a detailed in-
vestigation is under-
way
. Based on the state-
ment of the victim, the
teaching staff and sus-
pected students are be-
ing interrogated, po-
lice said.
The DCW sought
from the police an ac-
tion-taken report on
the incident.
The girl has
alleged her
school teacher
tried to hush up the
matter. It is very un-
fortunate that even
schools are unsafe for
children in the capital.

New Delhi (PTI): The
Delhi High Court on
Thursday directed the
Delhi Development Au-
thority (DDA) to pay Rs
10 lakh each as com-
pensation to the family
of two persons who
died after inhaling tox-
ic gases inside a sewer
here last month.
A bench headed by
Chief Justice Satish
Chandra Sharma re-
marked that it was un-
fortunate that even af-
ter 75 years of Inde-
pendence, the poor
were forced to work as
manual scavengers and
asked the DDA, under
whose jurisdiction the
incident took place, to
pay the compensation,
as mandated under the
law, forthwith.
The bench, also com-
prising Justice Subra-
monium Prasad added
that the DDA shall also
consider granting com-
passionate appoint-
ment to the family of
the deceased persons
and sought the pres-
ence of the vice chair-
man of the authority in
case the order is not
complied with till the
next date of hearing.
The order was passed
on a public interest liti-
gation (PIL) initiated
by the court on its own
based on a news report
of the incident.
A sweeper and a se-
curity guard died on
September 9 in Outer
Delhi’s Mundka area
after they inhaled toxic
gases inside a sewer.
When the sweeper
had gone down to clean
the sewer, he fainted
and the guard followed
to rescue him and he
also fell unconscious,
the police had said.
“It is unfortunate
that even after 75 years
of Independence, poor
people are forced to
work as manual scav-
enger and the (laws on
the issue) are not being
followed,” said the
court.
“As the DDA has pri-
ma facie resolved to
pay compensation,
keeping in view the
judgement of the Su-
preme Court, the DDA
is directed to pay Rs 10
lakh each as compen-
sation to the family
of the two deceased
and also to consider
their claim to grant
compassionate ap-
pointment in terms of
the Supreme Court
judgement and statu-
tory provisions,” the
order said.
“The decision shall
be communicated to
the court in 30 days. It
is made clear that if
the order is not com-
plied with, vice chair-
man of DDA shall re-
main present in court
on the next date of
hearing,” it added.
The counsel appear-
ing for the DDA in-
formed the court that
the deceased were
cleaning the drain in
the absence of any in-
structions from them
and a committee has
been formed in rela-
tion to the incident.

2-DAY LITERARY FESTIVAL IN GURUGRAM
AAP on Thursday
asked Delhi Lieutenant
Governor VK Saxena
why he has not yet or-
dered a probe into the
alleged toll tax scam
worth Rs 6,000 crore
even though Deputy
Chief Minister Manish
Sisodia sent him a com-
plaint in this connec-
tion with “documents”
two months ago.
Addressing a press
conference here, AAP's
Delhi civic body elec-
tion in-charge Durgesh
Pathak also wondered
if Saxena was not able
to “muster courage” to
order a probe into the
alleged scam as some
“very senior leader” of
the BJP was involved in
it. There was no imme-
diate reaction from the
LG office to the AAP's
charge.
“It's been about two
months since Deputy
CM Manish Sisodia
sent a letter to the LG,
along with documents,
asking for a probe into
the scam. Leave aside
ordering a probe, LG
has not even sent an ac-
knowledgment of Siso-
dia's letter so far,”
Pathak said.
He said Lieutenant
Governor Saxena has
ordered several probes
against the AAP gov-
ernment in Delhi since
he assumed charge but
eh authorities investi-
gating them are yet to
achieve any break-
through.
“LG orders a probe
against the AAP gov-
ernment every other
day without any proof.
But, we welcome it. In-
vestigate as much as
you want. We welcome
all probes,” Pathak
said. “But why is the LG
running away from or-
dering a probe into this
toll tax scam worth Rs
6,000 crore? Which BJP
leader he is trying to
protect? It seems some
very senior BJP leader
is involved in this scam.
That's why
, it seems LG
is not able to muster
courage and order a
probe into the scam.”
On August 10, Siso-
dia had written to Sax-
ena for a CBI probe into
the alleged scam in the
Municipal Corporation
of Delhi.

New Delhi: After Air
India, late Rakesh
Jhunjhunwala-backed
Akasa Air on Thursday
announced that it
would allow pets on
board from November
1. With this, this airline
became the second com-
mercial Indian carrier
to permit pets on board.
“We are announcing
pets on-board from No-
vember 1 this year, for
which the bookings will
commence from Octo-
ber 15 and the flying
will start from Novem-
ber 1,” Belson Coutin-
ho, Chief Marketing
and Experience Officer
of Akasa Air said.
Akasa will only allow
pets weighing 7 kg in
the cabin. “The pets up
to 7 kg (one pet) are al-
lowed in/on board the
cabin...the rest may be
allowed in the cargo,”
Akasa Air said.
Earlier, Air India was
the only airline in the
country which allowed
pets on board.
Further, Akasa Air
has clarified that only
domesticated pets (cats
and dogs) will be al-
lowed to fly in the cabin
by paying a fee amount,
which shall be an-
nounced shortly
.
After completing
nearly 60 days in the air-
line business, Vinay
Dubey, CEO of India's
low-cost airline, Akasa
Air, announced that it
will get 18 brand-new
aircraft by the end of
March next year.
“We expect 18 new
Boeing 737-MAX air-
craft by the end of

New Delhi (PTI): A
month-long anti-dust
campaign to check com-
pliance of pollution
norms at construction
sites was launched in
Delhi on Thursday and
586 teams have been
formed for its imple-
mentation, Environ-
ment Minister Gopal
Rai said.
Addressing a press
conference at his resi-
dence in Civil Lines, the
minister said the cam-
paign has been
launched under the
Graded Response Ac-
tion Plan (GRAP) to
combat pollution that
has been implemented
in the national capital.
“The anti-dust cam-
paign has begun today
in Delhi. As many as 586
teams of 12 government
departments and agen-
cies have been formed
to check dust pollution
at construction sites
across the city. This
campaign will continue
for a month till Novem-
ber 6,” Rai said.
According to the
norms, construction
sites bigger than 5,000
sqm will have to deploy
one anti-smog gun,
those bigger than 10,000
sqm should have two
such guns and sites big-
ger than 15,000 sqm will
have to set up three an-
ti-smog guns, Rai said.
NEW POSER BY AAP
Why LG not ordering probe
into‘`6,000-crMCD scam’?
New Delhi (PTI): A
special court here
on Thursday sent
businessman and
AAP communication
in-charge Vijay Nair,
arrested in connection
with the Delhi excise
policy scam case in
which Deputy Chief
Minister Manish Siso-
dia is also an accused,
to two weeks’ judicial
custody.
Special Judge M K
Nagpal sent Nair to jail
till October 20 after the
CBI did not seek his
further custodial inter-
rogation.
The central probe
agency produced Nair
before the court at the
end of his CBI remand.
According to the
prosecution, Nair
entered into a criminal
conspiracy with others
as part of which the
excise policy of the
government of the na-
tional capital territory
of Delhi (GNCTD) of
2021-2022 was framed
and implemented.
The motive was to
provide undue and
illegal favours to liquor
manufacturers and
distributors at the
cost of the govern-
ment exchequer and
the policy resulted in
huge revenue loss, the
prosecution claimed.

‘Even my wife doesn’t scold
me as much as LG sahib’
New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on
Thursday said even his wife does not “scold” him
as much as LG Vinai Saxena. The AAP supremo
said in a tweet he has not received as many “love
letters” from his wife “in the entire life”
as he has from the LG in just six
months. “LG sahib, chill a bit!”
Kejriwal said in his tweet in Hindi.
“And ask your super boss also to
chill a bit.” “Even my wife does
not scold me as much as the LG
sahib. My wife has not written
me as many love letters in
the entire life as LG sahib
has in the past six months,”
Kejriwal said in the tweet
in Hindi.
BJP on Thursday ac-
cused the Aam Aadmi
Party government in
Delhi of going back on
its decision to audit
power discoms and ex-
tending undue benefits
to them.
In 2016, the Aam
Aadmi Party (AAP)
Cabinet decided to
conduct annual audits
of discoms but it never
happened, BJP national
spokesperson Syed
Zafar said in a press
conference here.
Zafar also alleged
that the Delhi govern-
ment appointed AAP
leaders on the boards
of two discoms and
allowed them undue
benefit even as they
owed Rs 21,000 crore
to it.
No immediate reac-
tion was available from
the AAP over the BJP’s
charges.
The BJP has contin-
ued to attack the AAP
government following a
probe ordered by Delhi
Lieutenant Governor
VK Saxena into alleged
irregularities in the
Kejriwal government’s
power subsidy scheme.
WHY NO AUDIT OF POWER DISCOMS YET, ASKS BJP
It seems some very senior BJP leader
is involved in this scam. That’s why, it
seems LG is not able to muster courage
and order a probe into the scam.

charred body of a
19-year-old man was re-
covered on Thursday
morning from the sec-
ond floor of a shop in
east Delhi's Gandhi
Market where a major
fire broke out a day ago,
police said.
The deceased has
been identified as
Shehnawaj, according
to the family members.
However, since the body
is charred completely,
DNA profiling would
also be conducted.
It took nearly 10
hours for the fire fight-
ers to douse the flames,
fire officials said, add-
ing a short circuit
might have caused the
fire. As many as 35 fire
tenders and 150 fire
fighters controlled the
blaze which broke out
at around 5.40pm on
Wednesday
, the officials
said, adding that the
fire was extinguished at
3.30am.
Deputy Commission-
er of Police (Shahdara)
R Sathiyasundaram
said a charred body was
found on the second
floor of the building on
Thursday morning fol-
lowing the fire broke
that broke out in Jai
Ambe garments shop.
The fire quickly spread
to other nearby shops
due to storage of syn-
thetic cloths.
All senior officers
were on the spot includ-
ing police personnel of
Gandhi Nagar sub-divi-
son and DCP Reserve.
Civil defence personnel
were also deployed to
bring the fire under
control, he said.
According to police,
one of the workers
identified as Aftab (32),
stated that he has been
working at the Jai
Ambe garments shop
for the last 12 years. Af-
ter closing the shop on
Wednesday at about 5-
5.15 pm, he along with
four other workers
went near main road.
After five-seven min-
utes, they came back
towards Janta lane
which is another entry
towards the shop, when
they saw smoke emit-
ting from their shop.
He immediately
called his owner and
went near the shutter
and realised that his
brother Shehnawaj was
trapped inside and also
heard the voice of him
knocking the door.
“They attempted to
break the locks and told
his brother to go up-
stairs. However, by the
time they broke the
lock, the fire had spread
and his brother was not
traceable,” the senior
police officer said.
The fire started in a
shop in the Nehru lane
where mainly garments
and hosiery outlets are
locatedandsoonspread.

around 5.40pm on Wednesday, and was doused by 3.30am.

workers) at-
tempted to break the

brother (Shehnawaz)
to go upstairs. By the
time they broke the
lock, the fire had
spread and his brother
was not traceable.

TOP TWEETS
INDIAN PHARMA’S
COUGH SYRUPS
UNDER PROBE FOR
LOSS OF 66 LIVES
t a time when there is
stress on quality to
make Indian phar-
maceutical products
globally competitive,
the news of India-made cough
syrups as the likely cause of 66
child deaths in the Gambia has
come as a setback. In a way the
development justifies the lowest
rank at 6.8 on a scale of 10 given
to Indian pharmaceutical manu-
facturers by the USFDA in a 2019
study on compliance score of
drugs marketed in the US. Even
China’s compliance score of 7.3
was better than India’s.
After the World Health Or-
ganisation sounded a global
alert “potentially” linking four
cough syrups with “acute kid-
ney injuries and deaths of 66
children” the negative percep-
tion about quality control in In-
dia’s pharma industry will only
get strengthened to the detri-
ment of India’s image.
It will also do the manufac-
turer, Maiden Pharmaceuticals
of Haryana, no good either if
the WHO is able to establish a
link between the cough syrups
and the Gambia death.
A
our sanitation
workers died in
H a r y a n a ’ s
Faridabad on
Wednesday after
inhaling toxic fumes while
cleaning an underground
sewer of a hospital. The men,
who were hired through an
agency, entered the sewer
without any protective gear.
Whether they were provided
the safety equipment will
have to be investigated but
what is clear from the fre-
quent occurrence of such
deaths is that poor lives don’t
really matter. The cleaning of
hazardous sewers and septic
tanks claimed 161 lives in the
last three years. Tamil Nadu
topped the list with 28 deaths
and UP was second with 26.
Ironically
,inadifferentcase
of two scavengers’ deaths, the
DelhiHighCourtonThursday
observed, “It is unfortunate
that even after 75 years of in-
dependence poor people are
forcedtoworkasmanualscav-
engers” and ordered the Delhi
DevelopmentAuthority(DDA)
topayRs10lakhtoeachof the
bereaved families. The court,
which took suo motu cogni-
sance of the tragedy
, also de-
scribed as unfortunate the
complete disregard for provi-
sions of Prohibition of Em-
ployment as Manual Scaven-
gers and their Rehabilitation
Act (PEMSR), 2013.
Will someone be held re-
sponsible for the Faridabad
tragedy or will the buck be
passed from the hiring agen-
cy to the hospital? For the
bereaved families even get-
ting compensation is not
easy. Had the high court not
taken up the issue on its own,
the DDA may have dragged
its feet in offering ex gratia
on its own.
More than compensation
the focus of governments
should be on ensuring the im-
plementation of PEMSR Act.
Municipal bodies have been
allowed too long a rope.

F
Narendra Modi, Indian Democracy,
and the Free Open Indo-Pacific
espite external noise the U.S.
and India continue to pivot to
each other. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi recently re-
buked Russia’s Putin over his
war against Ukraine. This
week U.S. Secretary of De-
fense Lloyd Austin welcomed
India’s foreign minister S.
Jaishankar to the Pentagon
with an honor guard — a
first. Dr. Jaishankar was in
the country for 11 days dis-
cussing China, defense and
trade. The United States and
India share the objective of
denying the ambition of Xi’s
China to shape the world in
its autocratic image. Advanc-
ing a free and open Indo-Pa-
cific is their joint strategy to
achieve it. While the United
States and India will contin-
ue to have disagreements and
road bumps in overcoming
historical mistrust, leaders
in Washington must recog-
nize the nature of Indian de-
mocracy and the ascendancy
of its democratically elected
leader Narendra Modi.
Indian democracy where a
billion people engage in free
elections, buoyed by a vi-
brant free press, at a frequen-
cy and with a resiliency un-
imaginable in any other na-
tion is nothing short of a
marvel. In the contest be-
tween democracy and autoc-
racy, Indian democracy and
Narendra Modi are strong
assets. In the Indo-Pacific the
best antidote for “commu-
nism with Chinese charac-
teristics” is “democracy with
Asian characteristics” with
India, given its geography
and size, as the flag bearer.
Modi’s electoral victories
in 2014 and 2019 transformed
Indian polity
. His election re-
trieved India from a political
fate similar to Italy’s cycle of
ungovernable weak coalition
governments. Modi’s bold-
ness, bolstered by consecu-
tive victories, has led India to
the frontlines of the great
free and open nations. His
leadership, with that of late
Abe Shinzo, has been instru-
mental in fortifying the Indo-
Pacific Quad to act as the
democratic bulwark against
Chinese aggression.
Modi, like Reagan, cata-
lyzed and shaped emerging
and latent political senti-
ments.Bothmenprofitedfrom
the invisible hand of politics:
arriveth the moment arriveth
the man. Imbued with unfail-
ing conviction in their con-
servativebeliefs,thetwoshare
the ability to grasp the wide
arc of prevailing national and
global forces. Like Reagan,
Modi is the master communi-
cator of his nation, extolling
optimism, opportunity
, reli-
gion, and family values across
India. In foreign policy they
shareaninstincttostandupto
bullies whether it be the Sovi-
et Politburo or the Chinese
Communist Party
. The two
share another virtue – an ad-
miration of America.
The Modi political revolu-
tion addressed two pervasive
realities of India: poverty
and religion. Half of India’s
billion-plus people subsist on
less than $3 per day
. Religion
is important to 9 out of 10 In-
dians. About 80 percent of
Indians adhere to Hinduism,
about 14 percent to Islam,
and remaining 6 percent are
Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs,
Jains etc. Modi unified In-
dia’s chronic communal poli-
tics with a national anti-pov-
erty message of “develop-
ment for all.” Poverty knows
no religion nor creed, he fre-
quently states. Concurrently
he emanated a muscular
Hindu identity in an over-
whelmingly Hindu nation
with over 500 years of recent
history of being invaded and
ruled by non-Hindus.
Modi benefitted from and
built upon the anti-poverty
policies of the preceding
Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh, a widely admired
technocrat. Modi’s strong
leadership and rousing rhet-
oric made the “development
for all” a national slogan. He
expedited India’s transition
to a digital economy and ex-
ecuted an unprecedented so-
cial security system based on
a biometric ID for all Indians.
He promised running water,
electricity, and cooking gas
for each home. He further
launched a most audacious
public housing program with
30 million houses construct-
ed and counting.
Modi’s strong style attracts
strong criticism: some justi-
fied, some hyperbolic. Clear
ideology or strategy to
achieve his lofty economic
pronouncements are often
imperceptible. His embrace
of a muscular Hindu identity
has inflamed Hindu national-
ism giving license to its ex-
treme elements. Consequent-
ly, Modi needs to be a more
convincing stalwart of na-
tional reconciliation and co-
hesion and a staunch foe of
all political violence and re-
prisals. The latter in particu-
lar warrants high vigilance.

IN THE COURTYARD
New Delhi: The SC has remarked that the notification
of the Minimum Wages Act can be a guiding factor only
in the case where there is no clue available to evaluate
the monthly income of the
deceased. Where positive
evidence has been led, no
reliance on the notification
could be placed, particularly
when it was nobody's case
that the deceased was a
labourer as presumed by the High Court, the top court
said. A bench of justices Surya Kant and MM Sundresh

rolls. Azad announced
the formation of three
teams each for JKr di-
visions to cover all the
20 districts.
Once our zonal and
district committees are
constituted, zonal and
district office bearers
will be asked to go to the
block and panchayat
level to constitute the
block committees and
panchayat committees,
he said.
An 11-member Cen-

leader said Azad had
made it clear that each
office bearer, particu-
larly the president of
the zone and district,
should be able to dedi-
cate minimum 20 days
per month for the party
,
especially till the elec-
tions are over.
The office bearers,
particularly the presi-
dents of zonal and dis-
trict committees, must
have their own trans-
port to visit their re-
spective areas. The
president and office
bearers should be edu-
cated enough to re-
ceive and pass on mes-
sages in English, Hindi
and Urdu, he said
quoting the guidelines
issued by Azad.

New Delhi (ANI): BJP
national spokesperson
Sambit Patra on Thurs-
day slammed Congress
leaderUditRaj'sremarks
on President Droupadi
Murmu and said that it
showed the party's anti-
tribal mindset.
Udit Raj had accused
President Murmu on
Wednesday of allegedly
doing 'chamchagiri'
with his controversial
remarks about her. No
country should get a
President like Droupadi
Murmu ji. Chamchagi-
ri also has its limits.
She says 70 per cent of
the people eat Gujarat's
salt. She will get to
know once she starts
living by consuming
salt only, Udit Raj said
in his tweet in Hindi.
He further said that it
is not the first time that
the Congress party has
used such words for the
President. Prior to this
incident, we have heard
the words Adhir Ranjan
Chowdhury has used
for her, when a tribal
woman has become the
President of the coun-
try, he said.
It is surprising and
saddening how Con-
gress is regularly us-
ing disrespectful words
for the President of
India who has strug-
gled enough to reach
the topmost position of
the country and it
shows their mentality,
Patra said adding that
it exposes their anti-
tribal mindset.

New Delhi (ANI): BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla on
Thursday took a jibe at the Congress after its leader Udit
Raj allegedly made derogatory remarks on President
Murmu. Poonawalla termed it 'another steep low remark
of congress' by stating that he has used an unaccepta-
ble language for the first woman Adivasi President and
asked if the party (Congress) endorses such an insult of
Adivasi samaj. Udit Raj's remarks came days after Preez
Murmu noted in a civic reception hosted by the Govt of
Gujarat in her honour in Gandhinagar on Monday.

New Delhi: The NCW has summoned Congress
leader Udit Raj over his sycophancy remark against
President Droupadi Murmu. In a notice issued on
Thursday, the commission asked him to appear
before it on October 10 and explain his extremely
condemnable and shameful comments. At a function
recently, President Murmu noted Gujarat manufac-
tures 76 per cent of salt produced in the country. It
can be said that all countrymen eat Gujarat's salt,
she had said. The western state produces nearly 80
per cent of the salt consumed in India.

first time after three
decades, a Union Minis-

On October 5, Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah held a rally in Bar-

Shah’s rally got a phe-
nomenal response from
the people of the dis-

present in the rally, the
highest cheering was
witnessed when the
Home Minister spoke
about the availability of
free gas cylinders for
women. It is also report-
ed that in the hilly areas
of the Union Territory,
women registered to get
the Ujjwala scheme ben-
efit and got two cylin-
ders instead of one.
“The development of
Jammu and Kashmir is
the prime agenda of the
PM Modi government
at the Centre. BJP does
not wish to ally with
any of the regional
players in J-K,” a top
BJP source told. An-
other source told ANI
that, “the briefing giv-
en to the security agen-
cies in the region is to
ensure complete wipe
out of terrorism and
its supporters.”
The changing face of
Jammu and Kashmir
was evident from the
fact that crowds turned
up in huge numbers
and it was a responsive
gathering. “The entire
gathering of over
40,000 joined in as the
Home Minister shout-
ed the slogan ‘Bharat
Mata Ki Jai’. Some-
thing that had never
been said here, the

Rajasthan ‘rebels’ now root for Gehlot!
Amit Mishra
New Delhi: There has
been a sudden and seri-
ous development in the
ongoingRajasthanpoliti-
cal crisis, with the ‘re-
bels’ taking a new stand.
While the rebel MLAs
had earlier stressed that
anyone from among the
102 MLAs could be made
thCMface,andhadflatly
refused on Pilot’s name
as CM, now the rebel
MLAs have outrightly
rejected any change of
leadership.
“None other than Ge-
hlot will be accepted un-
der any circumstances,”
they have said.
With this, the ‘con-
frontation’ between
Congress high com-
mand and the rebels
may increase further.
The rebel MLAs are
waiting for the high
command to ask about
their ‘mann ki baat’. In-
terestingly, the ‘rebels’
are now questioning the
high command as to
“where is the need for
leadership change?”
Their argument is on
the basis of one person-
one post principle, as
now Gehlot has only
one post, so why should
he be removed and hu-
miliated despite the
support of 102 MLAs?
According to sources,
the high command is
shocked by this stand of
the rebel MLAs.
Interestingly, sources
associated with the Pi-
lot camp on Thursday
reacted to the ‘grape-
vine’ and said, “This
news is misleading and
beyond truth. Confron-
tation with the high
command will not yield
good results. Allegiance
of MLAs in politics also
keeps changing. Forty
rebel MLAs have ap-
proached the high com-
mand and assured that
they will stand firmly
with the high com-
mand’s decision.”

overcome many adversities
in recent months, with the
latest PMI data continuing
to show a strong perfor-
mance despite some loss of
growth momentum in Sep-
tember,” said Pollyanna De
Lima, Economics Associ-
ate Director at SP Global.
The upturn was report-
edly restricted by price
pressures, an increasingly
competitive environment
and unfavourable public

Lima further noted that the
steep depreciation of the
rupee seen towards the end
of the month due to inter-
est rate hikes in the US pre-
sent additional challenges
to the Indian economy

India’s presidency of G20 can
turn crisis into opportunity
The G20 has emerged as a platform
for both developed and emerging
economies, but war in Ukraine is problem
India’s assumption of G20 presidency
entails challenges but its leadership is
capable of unlocking new opportunities
First India Bureau
New Delhi: The G20,
an informal grouping
comprising 19 states
and the European Un-
ion (EU), came into ex-
istence in September
1999 at the level of fi-
nance ministers but
was elevated to the lev-
el of the Heads of State
in 2008. It both absorbed
and superseded the G7
given the rapidly chang-
ing global economic
context.
The United Nations,
International Labour
Organization (ILO),
World Bank, Interna-
tional Monetary Fund
(IMF), Organisation for
Economic Co-operation
and Development
(OECD), World Trade
Organisation (WTO),
and Financial Stability
Board are invited to
participate in pre-sum-
mit meetings. Civil so-
ciety organisations
think tanks, and labour
and business groupings
such as the C20, T20,
L20, and B20 have their
own parallel meetings.
Despite being adviso-
ry, the importance and
influence of its deci-
sions grew significantly
over the second decade
of the 21st century
. The
G20 can be seen to occu-
py—on global economic
governance matters—a
similar role to what the
UN Security Council oc-
cupies on global peace
and security issues.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar interacts with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern
during a meeting, in Auckland on Thursday.
WE WERE ASKED TO
PRESS RUSSIANS, SO
WE DID: JAISHANKAR
India is willing to do
whatever it can to facilitate
a solution to the Ukraine
crisis, External Affairs Min-
ister S Jaishankar said on
Thursday, as he highlighted
how India pressed Mos-
cow on the safety of the
Zaporizhzhia nuclear power
plant in Ukraine when the
two countries stepped up
fighting near the highly
sensitive facility.
Jaishankar, who is on his
first visit to New Zealand
as the External Affairs
Minister, during a lengthy
interaction with Simon
Bridges, the CEO of Auck-
land Business Chamber,
said that when it comes to
Ukraine, it is natural that
different countries and dif-
ferent regions would react
a little differently.
The people will view it
from their viewpoint, their
immediate interest, histori-
cal experiences, and their
insecurities, he said.
“To me, the diversities of
the world which are quite
evident will also natu-
rally lead to a differential
response and I would not
disrespect the position of
other countries as I can
see that many of them are
coming from their threat
perception, their anxiety,
their equities in Ukraine,”
he said.
In this situation, Jaishnakar
said he would see what
India can do, “which obvi-
ously would be in the Indian
interest, but also in the best
interest of the world.”
India inherits a presidency full of challenges from Indonesia, including
the increasing inability to agree on basic communiques as a result of the
Russian invasion of Ukraine. This allows India to provide global leader-
ship and statesmanship at a time of acute geopolitical and geoeconomic
crises. It will be called upon to provide bold and innovative solutions
to the internal governance-related challenges and the full substantive
agenda inherited from Indonesia, in addition to showcasing its strengths
which are most relevant to the emerging global context.
INTERNAL GOVERNANCE-RELATED CHALLENGES
It has been embroiled in an internal
crisis, unable to agree on communi-
ques, with direct negative implications
for both its functioning and substantive
agenda. As India assumes its presiden-
cy in Dec 2022, it has a unique leader-
ship opportunity to suggest innovative
solutions for the resolution of some
of the critical issues confronting G20.
The challenges are daunting. Current
dilemmas suggest the need for urgent
internal governance reform, which will
determine whether the G20 can credi-
bly address the major challenges.
THE CREDIBILITY OF THE
G20 IS BEING QUESTIONED
Although the G20 was designed to be
more inclusive than the G7, it is still not
inclusive enough. Whilst there are no
formal membership criteria, member-
ship is based on a country’s systemic
importance to global financial markets
and its contribution to global gross
domestic product (GDP) and trade. Cur-
rent membership represents more than
80% of the world’s GDP, 75 per cent of
international trade and 60 per cent of
its population. These criteria need to be
expanded to include representatives of
major UN-recognised groupings.

BUT NOT INCLUSIVE ENOUGH

New Delhi: It was an
emotional moment
when two legends from

each other after a very
long time.
The 76-year-old spin-
bowling great from In-
dia Bishan Singh Bedi
and Pakistan legend In-

These two legends are
best of friends and still
keep a check on each
other’s health. Bedi has
not been keeping well
for last 2 years since he
underwent a heart sur-
gery
. Alam would keep
calling him on phone
every alternate day to
know how well Bedi is.
The former India cap-
tain’s memory was im-
pacted but his wife Anju
revealed he has come a
long way since then, al-
lowing him to travel to
Kartarpur on Tuesday
.
“Bishan is much bet-
ter compared to last
year but I would say he
is still 90 percent there
but he still can’t travel
regularly because of his
condition. Since we
were coming to Amrit-
sar for our grandson’s
birthday, we wanted to
club the two things to-
gether. I am glad it
worked out,” Anju.
“I could see tears
coming up from our
eyes but in no time, we
still cracked jokes as
usual. We both go a long
way and that song, too,
plays a role in it. In fact,
we all cried when we
met,” said Alam.
The 80-year-old from
Pakistan has a strong
connection with India.

CHASING THE
PASSION
Nikhita Sethi, accomplished hospitality
professional with years of rich experience
managing hospitality brands across sizes and
categories caught up with City First about her
industry, idols and offering curated lifestyle
experiences to its guests!
s a child,
Nikhita had
a flair for
the crea-
tive, which
led to many
accolades
in creative competi-
tions and ultimate-
ly transformed into
a serious profes-
sional choice. In an
exclusive interview
with City First, we
bring to you ex-
cerpts from the
chat.
When asked how
important are com-
munication skills
for her and what
she thinks is more
important, educa-
tional qualifica-
tions or good com-
munication and
personality
, the pas-
sionate woman
said, “Having an
educational degree
is as good as know-
ing cooking a meal
but when it comes
to being at the hos-
pitality, the first
thing which is re-
quired is how well
you interact and in-
terpret the knowl-
edge you may have
about your product
or the customer un-
derstanding. So I
would rate commu-
nication skills as on
higher level in com-
parison with hold-
ing an educational
degree.” On asking,
how you possess
your opinion, how
you have an ap-
proach towards
multiple situations
which shows your
patience, empathy,
your confidence,
the beauty with
brains replied, “As
one says that rough
sea makes a good
sailor, hence we
learn more with ex-
perience that ena-
bles them to adapt a
personality which
is the most impor-
tant part of this in-
dustry.” Taking
about her idol,
Nikhita said, “I may
sound very pro-
found here but I al-
ways looked up to
my mother,
my elder
sister and my fa-
ther, for they taught
me to stay strong
and their ‘never
give up’ attitude.
Yes, I would also
give my teachers
huge respect for
making me who I
am today, and be-
sides that, I simply
adore Sushmita Sen
as my childhood in-
spiration.” When
asked what mes-
sage she would give
to young people
wishing to enter the
hospitality indus-
try, Sethi said, “You
can’t pour from an
empty mug, so peo-
ple joining this field
must be aware of
themselves and live
life to the
fullest.
