Noida (PTI): The Noi-
da police have impound-
ed at least six more
luxury cars as part of
investigation into the
Jaguar road crash that
led to the death of a
woman riding a scooter,
officials said Thursday
.
Among the cars im-
pounded are two BMWs,
a Porsche, an Audi, a
Range Rover and a Sko-
da as they were part of
the convoy in which the
Jaguar, which hit the
24-year-old woman, was
also there, a police
official said.
Deepika Tripathi,
who worked as a recep-
tionist at a private firm,
was killed on Sunday
morning outside Su-
pertech e-Square build-
ing in Sector 96 when
the high-speed Jaguar
hit her scooter. The Jag-
uar’s driver Samuel An-
drew Pyster (31), who
works at American Ex-
press in Faridabad, was
held and sent into
judicial custody
.
It was alleged that
Pyster was part of a
group of people from
Delhi NCR who were
out with their luxury
cars for drive in Noida
on Sunday morning,
when the road crash
took place.
“These vehicles have
been impounded for
rash driving under pro-
visions of the Motor
Vehicle Act. Their own-
ers live in Delhi, Hary-
ana and only one of
these cars’ owner lives
in Noida,” the official
told PTI, wishing not to
be named.

a historic win in Guja-

Congress had blamed
AAP and AIMIM for its
poor show while Rahul

that the party will work
hard. AAP's perfor-

their campaigning. But
the votes in Gujarat
made it a national party

Thank you Gujarat. I
am overcome with a
lot of emotions seeing
the phenomenal elec-
tion results. People
blessed politics of de-
velopment and at the
same time expressed
a desire that they want
this momentum to
continue at a greater
pace. I bow to Guja-
rat’s Jan Shakti.
Narendra Modi
Prime Minister
People of Gujarat have
given an unprecedent-
ed mandate to the
party by rejecting those
who do politics of hol-
low promises, freebies
and appeasement. In
the last two decades,
under the leadership
of Modi ji, the BJP
broke all records of
development in Gujarat
and today the people
of Gujarat have blessed
the BJP and broken all
records of victory.
Amit Shah
Union Home Minister
Gujarat has set new
records of develop-
ment in the last two
decades under the
leadership of Modi ji
and today the people
of Gujarat have bless-
ed the BJP and cre-
ated a new record of
victory. Every section
has wholeheartedly
blessed the BJP. This
is the victory of peo-
ple’s unwavering faith
in BJP’s policies.

Shimla: Congress’s late
surge during the cam-

Pradesh was successful
in keeping the BJP from
realising its ‘Mission
Repeat’ in the hill state,
with the party easing to
victory. The high turn-
out of women seems
have gone in favour of
the Congress, as there
was a lot of resentment
among the voters
against the ruling BJP
government over the is-
sues of rising prices of
essential commodities
like fuel and gas.
The fact that Con-

Delhi govt moves SC,
seeks review ofverdict
New Delhi (PTI): The
Delhi government has
moved the Supreme
Court seeking a review
of its November 7 ver-
dict acquitting three
death row convicts of
gang-rape and murder
of a 19-year-old girl in
Delhi’s Chhawala area
in 2012, saying the of-
fence was “diabolic in
nature exhibiting
grave depravity and
bestiality” and fell un-
der the “rarest of rare”
category.
Highlighting that sci-
entific evidence “with-
stood legal scrutiny”,
the review plea said the
DNA sample tests
showed “positive re-
sults” linking the ac-
cused with the crime.
The top court had on
November 7 acquitted
the three men while set-
ting aside the Delhi
High Court’s August 26,
2014, order upholding
the death sentence
awarded by the trial
court. Several review
pleas including the one
filed by the father of the
deceased victim against
the apex court verdict
have been filed recently
.
The Delhi govern-
ment’s review plea, set-
tled by Solicitor General
Tushar Mehta and Ad-
ditional Solicitor Gen-
eral Aishwarya Bhati,
referred to “errors ap-
parent on face of the re-
cords” in the apex court
judgement. “Offences
like these do not just af-
fect the victim and her
family but have a much
larger and grave impact
on the society as well,
which is bound to ad-
versely influence the na-
tion’s fight of zero toler-
ance of sexual offences
against the women.
“Acts of gruesome na-
ture such as rape not
only violate the victim’s
personal integrity but
also leave an indelible
mark in the society at
large. This is the reason
why families do not feel
confident enough to
send their daughters
out,” the plea said.
Seeking the verdict to
be set aside, it said the
trial court and the high
court had awarded the
death penalty to the con-
victsaftertakingnoteof
the “diabolic” manner,
exhibitinggravedeprav-
ity and bestiality, in
which the crime was
committed.
“In the instant case
the crime and the man-
ner in which the said
crime was committed
reflects the nature of
sexual predators and
sexual psychopaths
who with complete im-
punity and brazenness
chose to kidnap the
young 18-year-old girl
from a public road
while she was on her
way back from office
along with her friends,”
the plea said. It said the
observation of the top
court in respect of tam-
pering of DNA samples
was “misconceived and
incorrect”.

Delhi High Court has
directed that a trial
court's order granting
bail to former Dewan
Housing Finance Cor-
poration Ltd (DHFL)
promoters, Kapil Wad-
hawan and his brother
Dheeraj, who were ar-
rested by the CBI in
connection with a mul-
ti-crore bank loan scam
case, shall not be given
effect to till February 1,
next year.
The high court's or-
der came after the
counsel for Wadhawans
and the CBI consented
to it.
Senior Counsel ap-
pearing on behalf of
the respondents (Wad-
hawans), on instruc-
tions, submits that the
respondents will not
proceed with their bail
bonds before the
learned Special Court.
With the consent of
both the parties, it is
hereby directed that
the impugned order
dated December 3 will
not be given effect to,
till the next date of
hearing. List on Febru-
ary 1, 2023, Justice
Amit Sharma said in
the order passed on
Wednesday.
The Central Bureau
of Investigation (CBI)
has challenged the trial
court's order granting
statutory bail to Wad-
hawan brothers be-
cause of incomplete
charge sheet.
The special court, in
its order, has said that
on merits, the two ac-
cused persons might
not be entitled to any
bail keeping in view
the gravity and seri-
ousness of the case.
However, it has said
the court was com-
pelled to release them
from custody under
statutory law by giving
mandatory concession
of default bail due to
incomplete charge
sheet.
The CBI counsel had
argued before the high
court that the agency
had given a statement
in the trial court that
the investigation qua
these two accused was
complete, however, the
special judge has not
considered dealt with it
in the order.

Ex-MLA Asif Khan gets bail
in police manhandling case
First India Bureau
New Delhi: A Delhi
court on Thursday
granted bail to former
MLA Asif Mohammad
Khan who was accused
of manhandling and
abusing a police officer
on duty in Shaheen
Bagh on November 25.
Additional Sessions
Judge Anuj Aggarwal
noted that Khan was in
custody since Novem-
ber 26 and was not re-
quired for further in-
vestigation. “The MCD
elections are over and
therefore there is no
possibility of the appli-
cant disturbing the law
and order situation in
the locality,” the court
said.
The former MLA,
whose daughter Ariba
Khan won the Abul
Fazal Enclave ward in
the December 4 MCD
elections, was granted
bail on furnishing a
personal bond in the
sum of Rs 50,000 with
one surety of the like
amount.
The court also
warned that if Khan
commits a breach of
any condition the pros-
ecution was at liberty
to seek cancellation of
his bail.
Senior advocate
Ramesh Gupta, who ap-
peared for Khan, had
argued that there was a
material change in the
circumstances since
the MCD elections were
over. Gupta argued that
the apprehension of
the police that if he
was released he would
disturb law and order
situation was not a fac-
tor anymore in decid-
ing his bail.
On November 30, a
metropolitan magis-
trate denied Khan bail
stating that his actions
against the police had
“an adverse societal
impact” which has
“detrimental effects on
the police-community
relationship.
Khan’s lawyers, on
the other hand, alleged
he had visited the area
after hearing news that
AAP candidate Wajid
Khan allegedly have Rs
50,000 to the ‘Imam’ of
the mosque while his
aides announced that a
total of Rs 1 lakh will
be handed over to the
‘Imam’ with a plea to
vote for the party dur-
ing the civic body elec-
tions.

OCI card was arbitrar-
ily barred on the al-
leged premise that he
was indulging in “in-
flammatory speeches

ties”. He said that no
specific instances or
materials were referred
to in the show cause no-
tice to “substantiate
such bald allegations or
drastic measures un-
dertaken by the Re-
spondents”. He added
that he replied to the
notice in November
2020, asking for the rea-
sons or materials to cor-
roborate the allegations
but did not receive any
response from the au-
thorities.

they have been made to

The Congress' vote share in the Municipal
Corporation of Delhi elections dipped to 11.68
per cent from 21.2 per cent, with the party
managing to secure only nine seats in the 250-
ward civic body
.
The party will analyse the results and the
strategies worked on accordingly, Congress
Delhi unit chief Anil Chaudhary told PTI.
“The party's strategies will be reworked af-
ter analysing the MCD election results. But
the vote share also sends out a clear message
that the Muslim and Dalit votes shifted from
the AAP to the Congress,” he said.
Most of the seats the party won in the MCD
election are in Muslim-dominated areas.
The party's women candidates won from
two wards in south Delhi, including in
Shaheen Bagh—the epicentre of the 2019 anti-
CAA protests—defeating their AAP rivals.
After heavy
defeat, Cong to
‘rework strategy’
New Delhi (PTI): Au-
thorities in the MCD
are likely to soon ap-
proach the Lieutenant
Governor to seek a date
on which the House can
convene so that council-
lors can take oath and a
mayor be elected.
The House will be
convened at the Civic
Centre, the headquar-
ters of the MCD at
Barakhamba here.
A senior MCD official
said, “The elections are
over and now MCD will
approach the LG, seek-
ing a date on which the
municipal House can be
convened so that the
councillors can take
oath, and then a mayor
be elected.”
According to the
DMC Act 1957, “The
Corporation shall at its
first meeting in each
year elect one of its
members to be the
Chairperson to be
known as the Mayor
and another member to
be the Deputy Mayor.”
AAP TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR OFFICE
SPACE IN PRIME AREA OF CAPITAL
New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party will become eligi-
ble to get office space allotted by the central govern-
ment in a prime location in the national capital after
it is officially recognised as a national party by the
Election Commission of India. The party has already
an office on the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg allotted
by the Delhi government as the city’s ruling party.
The president of the national party is also eligible to
get a government accommodation.
AAP IS NATIONAL
PARTY THANKS TO
PEOPLE OF
GUJARAT: SISODIA
New Delhi (PTI): Deputy
CM Manish Sisodia on
Thursday said the Aam
Aadmi Party is on course
to become a national party
thanks to the votes given
by the people of Gujarat.
Due to the votes given by
the people of Gujarat, the
AAP is today becoming a
national party. The politics
of education and health is
making a mark for the first
time in the country. Con-
gratulations to the entire
country on this, he said in
a tweet in Hindi.

VARIETY OF CULTURAL FESTS
The fair will feature 10 cultural festivals,
collectives and foundations, including soft
sculptures and book projects by Britto Arts
Trust (Dhaka); textile panels by Lakshmi
Madhavan for Devi Art Foundation (New
Delhi); a group show with works by Siwan-
based ceramicist Upendra Ram and Goa-
based feminist artist Mayuri Chari.
Abhilasha Saksena
New Delhi: At the
helm of MCD, the AAP
may now have better
control over Delhi but
the fortunes and future
of Delhi extend much
beyond the geographi-
cal boundaries of the
capital. Cities like Gu-
rugram, Ghaziabad
and Noida have a ma-
jor role to play in the
socio-economic suc-
cess of Delhi.
While on the one
hand the NCR region
holds some of the best
prospects for the up-
wardly mobile, young
educated Indian, but
on the other hand it
also has a dark and
messy backyard, con-
veniently hidden away
from the public glare,
which is silently grap-
pling with surmount-
ing pressure to fulfil
the needs of an ever
increasing population.
In Gurugram for in-
stance, the economic
slowdown gradually
making its way across
various indices of life
may not be as starkly
visible, but the ancil-
lary support system
that goes into the suc-
cess of a sustainable
cityscape is clearly
buckling.
Today in policymak-
ing conference rooms
Gurugram has become
a reference point of
how to not build a city
.
Public transport and
last-mile connectivity
is a major problem in
Gurugram. People still
mostly use their per-
sonal vehicles and we
know the outcome of
such a practice on envi-
ronment and sustaina-
bility. Traffic mess is
increasing due to lack
of parking space, ill-
maintained traffic sig-
nals and signages, and
crater-size potholes. A
rain of 4 days this Sep-
tember submerged the
whole city
. The project
to make roads 24-metre
wide is still in limbo.
Water scarcity is
snowballing into a ma-
jor crisis with ground-
water extraction reach-
ing over 300 per cent.
With over 45 per cent
power being used up by
industries and 32 per
cent by commercial
spaces, only 23 per cent
is left for residents,
leading to perennial
power outages.
The city generates
550 million tonnes of
sewage every year,
whereas 2/3 of the city
is not even connected
by sewer lines. Its sew-
age treatment plants
have the capacity to
manage only 250 mil-
lion tonnes of sewage.
The Bhandwari land-
fill site is a 150-ft high
mount of ignominy
that no one has a clue
to tackle. At least 2000
tons of unsegregated
waste are dumped here
every day. In the 1960s
there were over 600 wa-
ter bodies in Guru-
gram, today hardly 240
exist, thus destroying
the city’s natural
drainage system.
DELHI HAS BEEN WON BUT THAT WON'T SOLVE PROBLEMS OF NCR
TOUGH FOR KEJRIWAL
Other cities of NCR more or less suffer the same woes. With
different governments managing different cities, it is hard to
reach a consensus and ensure a streamlined development of
the NCR region. This way, Kejriwal has a tough task ahead.
Just managing Delhi is not enough because it can’t grow in
isolation. Delhi’s success depends on how well he uses his
diplomatic skills to take the administration of all the cities on
board and impress upon them the mutual benefits of such
cooperative effort.

67% COUNCILLORS ‘CROREPATIS’
New Delhi: At least 67 per cent of the 250 newly
elected councillors in the MCD are crorepatis, ac-
cording to an Association for Democratic Reforms
report. In 2017, when 270 wards of the then three
municipal corporations had gone to the polls,
51 per cent of the 266 councillors analysed were
crorepatis, it said.
“Out of the 248 winning candidates analysed,
167 (67 per cent) are crorepatis. Out of 266 coun-
cillors analysed during MCD elections (in) 2017,
135 (51 per cent) councillors were crorepatis,” the
report said. It said 82 councillors who declared
assets worth more than Rs 1 crore were from the
BJP—the highest among all parties. The AAP has
77 councillors who are self-declared crorepatis.
“..82 (79 per cent) out of 104 from the BJP, 77
(58 per cent) out of 132 from the AAP, 6 (67 per
cent) out of nine from the INC and 2 (67 per cent)
of three Independent winning candidates have
declared assets worth more than Rs 1 crore,” the
report added. The average assets per winning can-
didate of the 104 BJP councillors is Rs 5.29 crore
while that of the 132 AAP councillors analysed is
Rs 3.56 crore.

SC UNHAPPY
WITH DHANKHAR
QUESTIONING ITS
JUDICIAL POWER
ussle over judicial
appointments have
the making of a turf
war between the leg-
islature and the judi-
ciary with a Supreme Court
bench of justices Sanjay Kishan
Kaul, Vikram Nath and Abhay S.
Oka expressing its displeasure
over the remarks made by the
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep
Dhankhar who, in his maiden
speech, slammed the Supreme
Court for invalidating National
Judicial Appointments Commis-
sion (NJAC). Recalling the “his-
toric mandate” for the 99th Con-
stitutional Amendment Bill
which paved the way for NJAC,
Dhankhar said that the undoing
of the mandate by the Supreme
Court was “a glaring instance of
severe compromise of parlia-
mentary sovereignty and disre-
gard of the mandate of the peo-
ple…” He hinted that Parliament
could discuss the matter afresh.
Responding to Dhankhar’s
comments the Supreme Court
said that “while Parliament has
the right to enact a law, the pow-
er to scrutinize it lies with the
court. The bench said that the
“comments are not well taken”
and asked the attorney-general
to “advise them”.
T
rime Minister
Narendra Modi’s
mojo still has Gu-
jarat under its
spell. During an
election rally in Kaprada,
Modi said that he was there
to beat all records. And, that’s
what he did. The Bharatiya
Janata Party ensured its sev-
enth win in a row. The party
has been in power in Gujarat
for 27 years yet there was no
sign of any anti-incumbency
factor as it marched to its
highest ever tally of 150 plus
seats leaving the 127 seats it
won in 2002 way behind. Re-
placing four chief ministers
in one year also did not have
any impact and unlike
Himachal Pradesh there was
no rebellion either. That only
goes to show Modi’s iron grip
on the state.
For the Congress the shock
of a humiliating defeat in
Gujarat will be more over-
whelming than the euphoria
of victory in Himachal
Pradesh where it was closing
in on the majority mark. De-
spite BJP’s best efforts it
could not change the state’s
tradition of ousting the in-
cumbent party from power.
Despite having the numbers
the Congress will find it dif-
ficult to form a government
as its MLAs are vulnerable to
temptations.
Nothing,however,explains
the Congress losing around
62 seats in Gujarat except
that it went down without
even a semblance of resist-
ance. Former party president
Rahul Gandhi took time off
from his Bharat Jodo Yatra to
address only two rallies. Mal-
likarjun Kharge, the new
Congress president, had no
impact on the voters. He may
have also conceded advan-
tage to the BJP by comparing
Modi with Ravana. The party
must collectively introspect.
MODI HAS GUJARAT
UNDER HIS SPELL
BJP has been in power in Gujarat for 27 years yet there was
no sign of any anti-incumbency factor as it marched to its
highest ever tally of 150 plus seats leaving 127 seats it
won in 2002 way behind. Replacing 4 CMs in one year also did
not have any impact and unlike HP there was no rebellion either.
That only goes to show Modi’s iron grip on the state
P
seats out of 182 in Gujarat,
the clarion call of 150+ final-
ly came through. Did Prime
Minister Narendra Modi es-
timate it, at all? It seems so,
as the votes finally got count-
ed. In all his campaign
speeches PM Modi enthused
the Gujarati voters to make
Bhupendra Bhai’s winning
margin, much larger than
Narendra Bhai. No doubt,
Modi’s self-respect resonat-
ing with Gujarati Pride, de-
livered. 27 years of BJP dom-
inance got another 5 years of
resounding success and 149
seats won over by Congress
in 1985, got washed away in
the swath of Modi support.
Then why did Himachal
Pradesh retain its inherent
character of changing the
ruling party every 5 years?
Reasons for maintaining the
37 year old legacy are a plen-
ty. But first, we need to bear
in our minds what most
Himachali journalists put
their money on – if there is
any national leader who
knows Himachal as the back
of ones’ hand, it’s PM Modi.
Because it was Modi who had
scripted the victory of Prem
Kumar Dhumal with his in-
novative organizational
changes way back in 90s. So,
what happened? Frankly
“Congressization” of BJP
happened in Himachal. The
cadre-based BJP had conflict-
ing ambitions at play
, faction-
alism played its hand at full
and over dependence on
claims of development un-
dertaken by Jai Ram Thakur,
backfired. Voters across the
state knew of the three con-
flicting camps at play in
Himachal politics. Voter apa-
thy exhibited in the high-
handed approach of local
BJP leaders had reached leg-
endary heights. Farmers
were at loggers end with the
big agri-tech firms perceived
as modern colonizers. And
the most vocal government
staff rued the implementa-
tion of New Pension scheme.
Most of all, women voters
found the going tough as pan-
demic Corona ate away their
savings and denied them al-
ternate income sources. Had
it not been for the personal
intervention by PM Modi,
which included direct phone
calls to rebel candidates, BJP
could have been limited to
negligent 15 out 68 seats. It
was Modi’s concerted cam-
paign in the hill state, tai-
lored with mass contact pro-
gram banking on PM Modi’s
past experiences that saved
the looming rout. So, every
seat the BJP secured beyond
15 seats, should in effect be
credited to Modi magic.
What then worked in Guja-
rat? After all BJP has been in
power for the past 27 years –
Modi has not been active in
Gujaratforover8years–com-
pared to the 13 years of Modi
rule, the dynamism of incum-
bent chief ministers pales
into oblivion – so is it just, the
son of soil image of Modi that
made the Gujarati voter
queueup?ActuallyDecember
2022 polls has been more than
what meets the eye. With Ra-
hul Gandhi and the entire
Congress brass overtly preoc-
cupied with Bharat Jodo
Yatra, Gujarat was left only
with the state leaders – most
of whom are discredited, dis-
gruntled, demotivated. Last
minute infusion of Ashok Ge-
hlot couldn’t lift the morale of
the disillusioned state appa-
ratus. Quite unlike the 2017
elections when Ashok Gehlot
had plotted the entire election
machinery into a near win-
ning machine – after all 2017
polls saw the best perfor-
mance of Congress post 2002,
77 seats when contrasted with
99 of BJP
.
Top this lackluster half-
heartedinitiativeof Congress
with the active participation
of Aam Aadmi Party(AAP),
post their sojourn in Surat
Municipal polls. The “Free” -
“Free”, sale announced by
AAP for monthly electricity
bill/monthly dole for women/
Mohalla Clinic in localities or
for the auto rides by Arvind
Kejriwal, roadshows of Man-
ish Sisodia or radical-abusive
statements on PM Modi by
AAP State chief – AAP, gave
Congress a run for its money
during the election coverage.
Till the first phase polling
BJP ensured that in national
mindset, the Gujarat elec-
tions were all about BJP
AAP. While Congress grap-
pled with this perception
slight,Modiandhiscoreteam
concentrated in the rural and
tribal areas of Gujarat – the
core bastion of the Congress.
The Prime Minister’s road
show at Amba - the 50 km long
road show near Ahmedabad,
the focused group rallies host-
ed by Amit Shah and J P Na-
dda, the Jan Yatra covering
150+ constituencies starting
from 4 corners of Gujarat,
were all efforts to claim the
Congress bastion.
Little did the Congress or
AAP realize that both got
played by none other than the
BJP strategists. Gujarat was
the pride – the prime jewel in
2022 election and PM Modi,
simply had to bedazzle the
crown. And he did it.. This is
the biggest take away from
Gujarat Himachal elec-
tions – Bhupendra Bhai
walks away with the bigger
winning margin than Naren-
dra Bhai – but then, it’s Nar-
endra Bhai Modi, who is the
Krishna of Indian politics.

Shamsher Singh
New Delhi: It is now al-
most certain that Con-
gress President Mall-
ikarjun Kharge is not
going to form his team
as of now. His team will
be formed only after the
Congress session to be
held at the end of Febru-
ary
. This was indicated
in the first meeting of
the massive steering
committee he had
formed after becoming
the president. Sonia
Gandhiwasalsopresent
in the meeting held on
Sunday and there
Kharge gave a sound ad-
vice to the party leaders.
It was also clear from
his advice that even
though the office bear-
ers of the party have
resigned, they will con-
tinue to work as before.
That’s why it is surpris-
ing as to what was the
need to resign? When
Randeep Surjewala will
continue to be in charge
of Karnataka and Avi-
nash Pandey will con-
tinue to be in charge of
Jharkhand, then what
was the point of them
resigning from the post
of General Secretary?
Keep in mind that on
October 26, the day
Kharge took over, all
the general secretaries
had resigned. But no
new appointment was
made in their place and
no other leader was
made in-charge in the
states. All the general
secretaries who re-
signed are members of
the steering committee.
Kharge asked them how
many times a month
they visit the states un-
der their charge and
what is the status of the
organization there at
the district and block
level. In a way it is clear
that all the old office
bearers will continue to
work as before. All gen-
eral secretaries, secre-
taries, communication
team and all spokesper-
sons will continue to
work as before and re-
port to Kharge. That’s
why Kharge is in no
hurry to form a new
team. At the end of
February, there will be
a party convention in
Chhattisgarh, in
which the All India
Congress Committee
will seal Kharge’s ele-
vation as president
and after that he will
form a new team.
Will Kharge forge his team in party’s third session?

New Delhi: Petroleum
Minister Hardeep Puri
and Congress leader in
Lok Sabha Adhir Ran-
jan Chowdhury entered
into a war of words over
Ujjwala scheme subsidy
and gas prices in the
house on Thursday
.
The drama took place
during Question Hour,
when BJP MP from Bal-
aghat, Dhal Singh Bisen
sought to know from
Puri, the quantum of
loss faced by the govt as
several Ujjwala benefi-
ciaries have failed to get
a second refill of their
cylinders and whether
the government will in-
crease the subsidy
amount to ensure refill
of Ujjwala cylinders.
Puri said that there
seems to be some lack of
informationontheissue
and went on to inform
the House that there has
been a quantum leap in
number of LPG connec-
tions since 2014.
As Puri explained
how the govt has made
efforts to keep the do-
mestic gas prices in
check despite a surge in
its prices internation-
ally, at this point,
Chowdhury interrupt-
ed Puri, seeking to
know the present gas
price.
New Delhi (PTI): There is
a need to take the issue
of religious conversions
happening across the
country seriously, BJP
MP from Jharkhand Sunil
Kumar Singh said in
Parliament on Thursday
and claimed it has led to
rise of suicides. Speaking
during a session in Lok
Sabha to discuss matters
under Rule 377, he said
conversions are changing
the direction of society
and the country. “Such
organisations specially
target people from back-
ward classes. There have
been cases that people
killed themselves due to
religious conversion. As
part of a conspiracy, they
are encouraged to think
that they are not Hindus,
they do not believe in
Constitution,” Singh said.
New Delhi (PTI): Ra-
jya Sabha Chairman
Jagdeep Dhankhar on
Thursday assured the
House that experienced
MPs like former prime
minister HD Deve Gow-
da would be given pref-
erence to express views
on important issues,
andnottherulebook.
While felicitat-
ing Dhankar
as new Rajya

man on
Wednesday, it
was suggest-
ed by some
that experi-
enced mem-
bers should
be given ade-
quate time to
express views on legis-
lations and issues of
national interest.
“Believe in the Chair.
The Chair is not parti-
san. The Chair is na-
tional,” Dhankhar said
while making an obser-
vation during the Ques-
tion Hour on day two of
the winter session of
Parliament.
The chairman also
urged the MPs to rise
above party lines on im-
portant issues.
Rajya Sabha rules
provide for the alloca-
tion of time during de-
batesasperthestrength
of a political party -
the larger the
number of MPs
more is time is
given to the party
.
Gowda is the sole
member of his
party (JDS) in the
House and hence
is allocated the
least time to
put forth his
views.
New Delhi: Sev-
eral MPs on Thursday
urged the govt to create

rural areas, as the Lok

in Lok Sabha on March
31, during the Budget
Session of Parliament.
Manickam Tagore of
the Congress stressed
that sports helps in
building trust and said
it gives confidence and
builds trust in com-
munity. “The need
for Bharat Jodo is an
important process and
Bharat Jito can happen
only with Bharat Jodo,”
he said. Tagore also
suggested that private
sector should be roped
in for development of
sports facilities in rural
areas. “Private sector is
also an important part
of it. How is the minis-
try planning to encour-
age private players to
support them?” Tagore
said. He alleged that
government agencies
were hounding those
private players who we
not supporting the gov-
ernment. “We have a
tax terrorism mentality
now. All the agencies
are behind the business
people... Those who
are not supporting the
government. Will this
mindset be changed?”

strong and in terms of
development, our coun-

New Delhi (PTI):
Congress Rajya Sabha
MP Kumar Ketkar
on Thursday alleged
that real estate sharks
and corporates were
devastating jungles and
using their money and
muscle power to avoid
legal action. In order to
protect wildlife, not only
should the laws be strict
but their implementation
should also be equally
stingent, he said during
a discussion on the
Amendment Bill in the
Upper House. The bill
was tabled by Environ-
ment Minister Bupender
Yadav on Wednesday.
At present, when we
are talking about this
Act, Nicobar is
being completely
ruined, Nicobar
jungles
are being
removed
for the benefit of some
corporates. So essen-
tially, the wildlife is actu-
ally attacked not by any
humans as such, but
by the corporates and
sometimes by celebrity
Bollywood types, he
said. Stressing on the
effective implementa-
tion of laws, Ketkar said,
The implementation is
not strict because the
corporates are actually
using their money or
muscle power or their
contacts in bureaucracy
and in the govern-
ment to
destroy
the
jun-
gle.

ONLINE GAMING INDUSTRY FOR 28% GST ON GROSS

New Delhi: Online skill-based gaming industry is fine with the
government raising GST on online gaming from 18% to 28% but it

contest entry amount as could hit the

New Delhi (PTI): A day
after the RBI raised the
benchmark lending rate by
35 basis points, Kotak Ma-
hindra Bank Managing Di-
rector Uday Kotak on
Thursday said the central
bank may go for one more
rate hike to bring inflation
below its upper tolerance
level of 6%.
On Wednesday, the RBI
indicated that it wants in-
flation to be within the
band first and then move
towards the target of 4%,
Kotak said.
“My sense is that there
could be one more rate
hike and that may be the
time for thinking about a
pivot, but we got to watch
very closely the data, and
maybe around 6.5%, as it
looks today, subject to
what happens to the world,
subject to what happens to
oil, subject to what hap-
pens to many other
things,” he said.
Kotak further said the
US Federal Reserve’s deci-
sion on interest rates this
month will be a signal for
other central banks.
“I think that is going to
be a very crucial signal
about what is the interest
rate trajectory in the larg-
est market and the largest
pool of money in the world,
which is the US,” he said.
The Reserve Bank of In-
dia (RBI) Wednesday hiked
the key repo rate by 35 ba-
sis points to 6.25%, the
fifth straight increase
since May.
In all, the RBI has raised
the benchmark rate by
2.25% since May this year.
On the potential of the
Indian economy, Kotak
said the country has be-
come the fifth largest in the
world at about $3.2 trillion
and has huge potential.
There are opportunities
to move up the ladder, to be
among the top three in the
world, and its realisation
would depend on certain
metrics, including eco-
nomic performance in
terms of absolute GDP and
absolute per capita income
instead of the PPP com-
parison, he said.
To develop world class
Indian companies, he
stressed on the need to
build scale in manufactur-
ing based on cutting edge
product innovation and de-
veloping IP rights rather
than depending on arbi-
trage alone to secure an
advantage.

Inflation for FMCG segment
cooling down, says ITC CMD
New Delhi (PTI): Infla-
tionary pressure on the
FMCG segment is “cooling
off a little” and volume
growth from the rural mar-
kets is going to be better,
ITC Chairman Managing
Director Sanjiv Puri said
on Thursday
.
Presently there is a “phe-
nomenal” amount of infla-
tion, hence FMCG volume
growth in rural areas is
“muted” and the bulk of
the growth is inflation lead,
he said. When asked about
the consumption trends,
Puri said, “In the FMCG
segments, we are seeing
both the trends of permu-
tation and at the same time
there is a lot of value-seek-
ing behaviour and stress at
the lower price points.”
However, he also said
that presently India is
“much better” than the rest
of the world, witnessing
high inflation.
“As far as consumption
is concerned, the main
stress point is inflation in-
duced because prices of
lots of products have gone
up at a percentage probably
in the prior period that
would have taken five years
to go up,” Puri added.
However, Puri also added
that rural demand is going
to get better.
URBANISATION GOING TO
BE KEY: NITI AAYOG CEO
New Delhi (PTI): NITI
Aayog CEO Parameswaran

By 2047, 50% of the popula-

as, if you don’t have basic
services in urban areas,
then it is going to be a big
challenge,” he noted. He
said the circular economy
is now also becoming in-
creasingly important.
On a question on issues
of cleanliness of India’s
tourist destinations, Iyer
said,” If you want to pro-
mote tourism in India ag-
gressively, you better have
clean places around, you
better have better behav-
iour by tourists and by the
locals.” Most beautiful
tourist destinations in In-

ment. Of the 40 planes

uary this year. The first
such refurbished aircraft is
expected to be in service by
mid-2024, as per the release.

SCrejectscurativepleaseekingprobe
intokilling,exodusofKashmiriPandits
New Delhi (ANI): The
Supreme Court on
Thursdayhasdismissed
a curative petition filed
by Roots in Kashmir, an
NGO, seeking a probe
into the killing of Kash-
miri Pandits in the Val-
ley in 1989-90, during
the heights of militancy
.
“We have gone
through the curative pe-
tition and the connected
documents. In our opin-
ion, no case is made out
within the parameters
indicated in the deci-
sion of this Court Rupa
Ashok Hurra v Ashok
Hurra,” said the top
court in its order.
A bench of Chief
Justice DY Chandra-
chud, Justices Sanjay
Kishan Kaul and S Ab-
dul Nazeer declined
the plea saying, “The
Curative Petition is
dismissed.”
The curative petition
was filed against a 2017
order of the top court
which had dismissed
the NGO’s petition for
probe citing a long delay
.
On July 24, 2017, the
Supreme Court dis-
missed the plea filed by
the NGO, saying it is
difficult to probe and
collect evidence on the
issue more than 27
years after the exodus.
Members of Kashmiri Pandit community protest against the alleged atrocities.
MEHBOOBA
VACATES GOVT
ACCOMMODATION
IN ANANTNAG
Srinagar (PTI): PDP
president Mehbooba Mufti
on Thursday vacated the
government accommodation
provided to her in Anant-
nag district of Jammu and
Kashmir, more than a week
after the local authorities
had asked her to move out.
Mufti, who was one of the
eight former legislators to
have been issued a notice,

bungalow in the morning,
officials said.
New Delhi(PTI): A new
book chronicles the events
and “untold stories” that
occurred in Jammu and
Kashmir after Article 370
was revoked on August
5, 2019. “A Dismantled
State”, written by journalist
Anuradha Bhasin, is based
on eyewitness accounts
of a range of people. “The
dilution of Article 370 and
subsequent events in Jam-
mu and Kashmir have not
only reshaped the region’s
sociopolitical and economic
landscape but have also led
to a near extinction of any
news that does not conform
to the official narrative.
“This book is my attempt to
combat disinformation in
Kashmir’s dangerous infor-
mation desert. Through it,
I hope to fill at least some
gaps in the understanding
of how the post-5 Aug
2019 developments are
impacting lives of common
Kashmiris,” Bhasin said.
