passed away at a

Narendra Modi @narendramodi
Krishna Garu was a legendary superstar, who
won hearts of people through his versatile
acting and lively personality. His demise is a colossal
loss to the world of cinema and entertainment. In this
sad hour my thoughts are with @urstrulyMahesh and
his entire family. Om Shanti.
I have repeatedly
said that we have to
find a way to return
to the path of ceasefire and
diplomacy in Ukraine. Over the
past century, WWII wreaked
havoc in the world. After that
leaders of that time made
a serious effort to
take the path of
peace. Now it’s
our turn.
—Narendra
Modi, Prime
Minister
The war should be ended “justly and on the basis
of the UN Charter and international law”. I urge
world leaders to back a plan to end the war in his
country, saying now was the time to push for peace after
Russia’s defeat in the southern city of Kherson. Ukraine
would not allow Russian forces to regroup after their
withdrawal from Kherson.

PERSPECTIVE
04
What is the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia?
he latest G20
Summit is be-
ing held in Bali,
Indonesia, on
November 15
and 16. It is the culmina-
tion of a series of G20
events that have been go-
ing on for the past year.
But what are these G20
meetings really about?
What are the goals and
benefits for member states,
countries around the
world, and for host nation
Indonesia in particular?
Reports and statements
conveyed by state officials
that have attempted to ex-
plain this often use com-
plex and sometimes diplo-
matic language, making it
difficult for the public to
understand. This is unfor-
tunate as this year’s G20
meetings have attracted
more international atten-
tion than previous years.
The results of this summit
will undoubtedly deter-
mine the cohesiveness,
solidarity, and effective-
ness of the G20 forum and
its member countries.
WHAT IS THE G20?
The G20 is a multilateral
forum representing the
world’s largest economies,
involving 19 countries – Ar-
gentina, Australia, Brazil,
Canada, China, France,
Germany
, India, Indonesia,
Italy, Japan, Republic of
Korea,Mexico,Russia,Sau-
di Arabia, South Africa,
Turkey
, the UK, and the US
– plus the European Union.
GLOBAL HEALTH
The main agenda for the
health sector is strength-
ening “global health archi-
tecture”. The G20 member
countries, usually repre-
sented by their respective
ministers, hold a series of
meetings to discuss how to
build a resilient global
health system, align global
health protocols, and es-
tablish centres for the
manufacture and research
of genomes and vaccines.
DIGITAL CHANGE
The next primary agenda
item in G20 discussions is
on digital transformation.
Thetopicisbeingdiscussed
bycountriesandstakehold-
ers through the G20 Digital
Working Group, which has
carried out a series of ac-
tivities and meetings since
March 2022.
SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
The third agenda item at
this year’s G20 meetings is
on achieving a sustainable
energy transition. This re-
fers to efforts to encourage
global transition from non-
renewable energy use,
such as petroleum and
coal, to renewable energy,
including solar, wind, and
hydro.
Human activities, how-
ever, have disrupted this
natural balance. These in-
clude the combustion of
fossil fuels, pollution that
destroys marine life, and
forest encroachment. Ulti-
mately
, these activities will
continue to increase the
Earth’stemperature,which
hasincreasedby1.2°Csince
the pre-industrial era.
For this reason, coun-
tries worldwide – includ-
ing the G20 – are presently
taking various measures
to restore this balance. Ac-
cording to the Paris Agree-
ment, the deadline is 2050.

SPIRITUAL SPEAK
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of
the future, concentrate the mind on the
present moment. —Buddha
he Trinamool government
is in a spot once again
thankstoWestBengalmin-
ister Akhil Giri who has
come under severe criti-
cism over his controversial
remarks on President
Droupadi Murmu recently
.
KEEPING DISTANCE
After a video of his com-
ments went viral, the Tri-
namool Congress (TMC)
minister apologised on
Friday and Sunday and on
Monday, the party supre-
mo and West Bengal Chief
Minister, Mamata Baner-
jee, had said the party con-
demned and apologised for
her minister’s comments
on President Droupadi
Murmu. Saying it is not in
her party’s culture to
make personal comments,
she added the MLA has
been cautioned over his
comments and her party
has also apologised.
“We respect the Presi-
dent a lot. She is a very
sweet lady, I apologise for
the comments,” Ms Baner-
jee said, adding that “Akhil
(Giri) has done something
wrong; I condemn the com-
ments and I apologise.
“Beautyisnotabouthow
you look, it is about how
you are from the inside,”
she added. Earlier, while
the BJP demanded his ar-
rest and removal from his
post besides a public apol-
ogy from Chief Minister
MamataBanerjee,theTMC
distanced itself from his
comments. The TMC is
having a tough time as the
party
,inordertosteerclear
of controversy, has had to
distance itself from a lot of
its stalwarts.
Calling the comments
“irresponsible”, the party
had distanced itself from
Giri’s remarks. “This is an
irresponsible comment
does NOT represent the
views of @AITCofficial.
We are extremely proud of
the President of India
hold her her office in the
highest regard,” read the
tweet by TMC spokesper-
son Saket Gokhale.
The BJP claimed when
he made those comments,
the women welfare depart-
ment minister of Mamata
Banerjee’s cabinet Shashi
Panka was also there.
While sharing the video
on social media, the state
BJP accused Mamata Ba-
nerjee and the Trinamool
of being anti-tribal.
COURTING TROUBLE
Such a remark by one of
its ministers regarding
President Droupadi Mur-
mu threatens to derail the
TMC’s ambitious plans to
keep the substantial tribal
population in West Bengal
from drifting away to-
wards the Saffron might.
BJP, meanwhile, is do-
ing everything to keep the
heat on TMC and have also
demanded his resignation.
THE TRIBAL CARD
Tribals account for about
7 to 8% of Bengal’s popula-
tion. In four parliamenta-
ry constituencies in Jun-
glemahal region, compris-
ing Jhargram, Bankura,
Purulia and West Mid-
napore districts, and eight
constituencies spread
across North Bengal dis-
tricts, such as Cooch Be-
har, Darjeeling, Alipurdu-
ar, Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri,
North and South Dinajpur
and Malda, the tribal pop-
ulation count may go up to
almost 25%.
It may be recalled that
in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec-
tions, the BJP had sur-
prised the TMC by win-
ning 18 seats… while the
TMC registered wins in 22
seats. What is important is
that the BJP had picked up
considerably in the tribal-
dominated areas and the
party had bagged all the
seats in Junglemahal and
six constituencies in
North Bengal.
SEESAW BATTLE
As they say, nothing and
no one are permanent en-
emies. The TMC had
fought and won a huge
number in the 2021 Assem-
bly elections, especially in
the Junglemahal districts,
which led to the TMC’s
massive mandate. Modi
government’s ace decision
while nominating Murmu
as the President had made
the TMC chief wary of the
binary of regional politics.
After the former
Jharkhand Governor’s
name was announced,
Mamata had created a flut-
ter by saying that if the
BJP had consulted the Op-
position parties, Murmu
could have been a “consen-
sus candidate” for the
country’s top post.
WHAT DIDI HAD SAID
“Had we known that they
(the NDA) were planning
to field a tribal woman or
a member of a minority
community, we could have
thought about it (consen-
sus). We have great respect
for people from tribal com-
munities and for women,”
Mamata said, adding that
now that (Yashwant) Sin-
ha had already filed his
nomination papers….
Not only stopping at
that, the astute politician
that Prime Minister is,
apart from nominating
Murmu as the President,
the PM through his Mann
Ki Baat reached out to the
Santhal tribe by lauding
the efforts of Prof Sripati
Tudu from none other
than West Bengal, who
had translated the Consti-
tution into Santhali lan-
guage’s Ol Chiki script.
For TMC, matters could
not be worse as the party’s
supremo was set to visit
Jhargram to celebrate
tribal legendary figure
Birsa Munda’s birth anni-
versary on Tuesday in a
bid to reach out to the trib-
als and Giri’s gaffe has
dampened this initiative.
TMC had also declared the
day as a general holiday
.
BJP’s West Bengal state
president, Sukanta Ma-
jumder, used the opportu-
nity to target the TMC and
he also accused the party
(TMC) of being “anti-trib-
al”. Amit Malviya, in-
charge of the BJP’s Na-
tional Information Tech-
nology Dept, and co-in-
charge of West Bengal,
tweeted: “Mamata Baner-
jee has always been anti-
Tribals, didn’t support
President Murmu for of-
fice, and now this. Shame-
ful level of discourse.”
The TMC had distanced
itself from Giri’s remarks
soonaftertherowbrokeout
on Friday
. Party said that
what Giri said was “irre-
sponsible”, and did not rep-
resent party’s views. “We
are extremely proud of the
President hold her her
office in the highest re-
gard,”tweetedTMCspokes-
person Saket Gokhale.
On Sunday, TMC Adi-
vasi leader and minister
Jyotsna Mandi said: “I
cannot support what Giri
said regarding a woman
President.” TMC leader
Kunal Ghosh, who also
condemned Giri’s re-
marks, added, “Where is
the condemnation from
BJP leaders when (LoP)
Suvendu Adhikari keeps
referring to the honorable
CM as ‘Begum’? Where is
the BJP’s ‘Nari Samman’
plank when its leaders use
reprehensible remarks
against women leaders?”
Already on the backfoot
with job scam and with
party stalwarts like Mon-
dol and Partha in custody
and with panchayat elec-
tions in a few months’
time, now Giri’s words has
put TMC in deep trouble.

AMIT SHAH’S ‘TLC’
APPROACH FOR
PARTY REBELS
Rattled by protests and
angry statements by
leaders denied tickets
for Gujarat elections,
the BJP is “taking a love
and compassion” (TLC)
approach suggested
by Home Minister Amit
Shah, and plans to hold
one-on-one discussions
with discontented leaders,
sources said on Tuesday.
It comes a day after many
BJP workers protested at
the party’s headquarters,
Kamalam, in Gandhinagar
over the tickets from
some seats. The party
has so far announced 160
of 182 candidates, and al-
ready dropped 38 MLAs.
“A team of state leaders
has been given the job
to talk to the disgruntled
ones,” said a source in
the party. In power in Gu-
jarat for 27 consecutive
years, the party has partly
tried this approach in the
past few days, deput-
ing state home minister
Harsh Sanghavi.

winning chances, but
for his political maturity,
diplomacy, and the way
he praised his elec-
toral opponent and AAP
candidate Isudan Gadhvi
in public meetings. His
speech has gone viral
on social media winning
several hearts.

‘She was a different person before meeting Aaftab’
Accused Aaftab Poonawala taken to forested area in Delhi’s Mehrauli to trace Shraddha Walkar’s body parts
New Delhi: “If Aaftab
Poonawala has done
everything he has
claimed during the in-
terrogation, he must be
hanged. I think he de-
serves stringent punish-
ment for killing my
daughter and hiding
everything for months. I
wish we knew what was
going on…It was her
friends who informed
us…(she was) missing,”
said Vikas Walkar, fa-
ther of the 27-year-old
Shraddha Walkar, who
was allegedly killed by
herlive-inpartnerPoon-
awala at their rented flat
in South Delhi’s Meh-
rauli in May this year.
The incident came to
light six months after
the murder and Poon-
awala was arrested on
Saturday
. He allegedly
told the police that he
chopped Shraddha’s
body into 30-35 pieces
and dumped them in the
forest area nearby
. He al-
legedly spent two to
three months dumping
the pieces.
Both the accused and
victim hail from Vasai
in Maharashtra’s Pal-
ghar district and met on
adatingappin2019.Sen-
ior Delhi Police officers
on Tuesday took Poon-
awala to the Mehrauli

25-years-old now and I
have every right to
make my own deci-
sions. I want to be in a
live-in relationship
with Aaftab Poonawala.
So, you may think that I
am not your daughter
from today
.” These were
the last words Shrad-
dha Walkar told her
parents while leaving
her Mumbai home in
2019, as per an FIR filed
on the basis of her fa-
ther’s complaint. On
May 18, Shraddha was
murdered, allegedly by
Aaftab, who chopped
her body into over 30
pieces and disposed of
them over three
months. Ever since
their confrontation in
2019, the relationship
between Shraddha and
her family had been
“strained”, and they
hardly ever saw each
other.

Kota: In view of the
shortage of urea in en-
tire Rajasthan includ-
ing the parliamentary
constituency Kota-Bun-
di, the effect of the
meeting held by Lok
Sabha Speaker Om Bir-
la on Tuesday, was visi-
ble shortly after. Taking
urea from IFFCO, one
each rake left for Kota
and Bundi late on Tues-
day night.
Birla has assured the
farmers of the parlia-
mentary constituency
that he will not allow
any shortage of urea.
They are constantly
making efforts to en-
sure that the supply of
urea continues uninter-
rupted in both districts.
Due to his efforts,
2,600 metric tonnes of
urea for Kota and 3,000
metric tonnes of urea
for Bundi left late on
Tuesday night.
Both these rakes are
expected to reach Kota
and Bundi by late
Wednesday night or
Thursday morning. Af-
ter the arrival of these
rakes, proper arrange-
ments will be made for
their distribution. On
the other hand, some
more rakes carrying
urea are also expected
to leave soon.
Sunil Arora’s...
Notably, the RCA had
informed the High
Court that former CEC
retired IAS officer
Sunil Arora is being
made Chief Electoral
Officer for RCA elec-
tions. A reply on be-
half of RCA was sub-
mitted in the HC in the
case related to the ban
on RCA polls. Retired
IAS officer Ramlub-
haya, who was ap-
pointed earlier, has
resigned from this
post.
Thus, the petitions
filed by the District
Cricket Associations
have now become in-
fructuous. Justice In-
drajit Singh’s bench
fixed November 18 for
next hearing. During
the hearing on Mon-
day, it was said on the
behalf of the RCA
that the brother of the
former Chief Elector-
al Officer Ramlubhaya
has fallen ill thus, he
resigned from his post
went to USA. In such
a situation, Sunil Aro-
ra was made the new
Electoral Officer in
the RCA meeting held
on November 9.
Jal Jeevan...
Gehlot said that there is
severe water problem in
the eastern part of the
region. “Here ERCP is
very important for pro-
viding 55 litres of drink-
ing water per person
per day as per Jal Jee-
van Mission parame-
ters,” Gehlot said and
urged the Centre to de-
clare ERCP as a project
of national importance
soon to provide tap con-
nections in 13 districts,
so as to ensure continu-
ous supply of water.
The CM said “Being a
dry and desert area, it is
also less in surface and
ground water. Due to
long distances between
villages and different
geographical condi-
tions, the cost of provid-
ing drinking water
from house to house is
many times more than
other states. In some
circumstances it costs
more than Rs 1 lakh per
connection. In view of
this, support should
also be provided to the
state under 90:10 ratio
in Jal Jeevan Mission.
Because of the war be-
tween Russia and
Ukraine, the price of
many items has in-
creased unexpectedly.
This has also created
difficulties in imple-
mentation. For this rea-
son, the Centre should
extend Mission’s time
limit, so that every fam-
ily can get the benefit of
the mission,” he said.
It was told in the
meeting that about 30
lakh families have been
benefited by spending
Rs 10,247 cr by the State
Government in Jal Jee-
van Mission since 2019.

Jaipur: The Central
Election Committee of
the Bharatiya Janata
Party, on Tuesday, re-
leased a list of candi-
dates for upcoming LS
by-elections to be held
in UP the Assembly
by-elections of Ra-
jasthan, Bihar, Chhat-
tisgarh UP.
BJP has fielded
Ashok Kumar Pincha
from the Sardarshahar
Assembly constituency
in Rajasthan.
The date for polling is
December 5 while the
date for counting votes
is December 8, which
coincides with the re-
sults of the Himachal
Pradesh and Gujarat
Assembly elections.
By fielding former
MLA Ashok Pincha in
bypolls in Churu’s Sard-
arshahar seat, the oppo-
sition BJP indicated
that it didn’t want to
take risk in view of the
2023- assembly election.
The Saffron party is
completely focused on
the assembly polls to be
held next year and thus,
the party played a bet
on old face Ashok Pin-
cha.
Rajkumar Rinwa and
Shyam Lal were also in
the race but the local
satraps did not agree on
Rinva’s name. There
was no consensus
among Rajendra
Rathore, Kaswan fami-
ly and Abhinesh Ma-
harshi.
Arun Singh and Ar-
jun Meghwal conveyed
everyone’s opinion to
the High Command. At
the same time, possible
equations of Congress
and RLP were also con-
sidered.
After this Vaishya
face Ashok Pincha’s
name was finalised.
Although Prahlad
Saraf’s name was also
in the serious zone but
because of the Vichar
family, Pincha got pref-
erence.
Pincha will file nomi-
nation today

JAIPUR | WEDNESDAY,
NOVEMBER 16, 2022
n elaborately laced
dress is not only
lovely but also en-
hanced by the so-
cial standing of
the privileged who
may wear it and
the general public who de-
sire it. Even just the term
“lace” conjures up a
picture of an ethereal fab-
ric with frilly and feminine
overtones. We rarely pause
to think about the history
of lace, despite the fact that
it can be found everywhere,
from the doilies on a grand-
mother’s armchair to the
edgings on alluring gar-
ments. The Fashion Muse-
um in Bath’s exhibit Lace
in Fashion charts the rise
of this delicate fabric from
its humble beginnings as a
labor-intensive handicraft
to its current status as
a modern, machine-made
fabric seen all over the
runways.
In order to create net
mesh patterned work, lace
is a delicate, openwork
fabric that is often made
from cotton, linen,
silk, or metallic threads.
Lace has been worn as a
status symbol since the
15th century when white-
bordered cuffs and collars
indicated your social stand-
ing. It is a common trim
today, especially for linge-
rie and bridal attire.
Lace evolved into one of
the most sophisticated ma-
terials on the planet as a
result of the expansion of
the lace industry and the
flappers’ demand for a
more contemporary inter-
pretation of lace, which
featured garments with
straight lines, a loose fit,
and mixed lace designs. It’s
still a fabric that, over a
century later, isn’t sure if
it’s an angel or a demon; a
pricey material we put on
the highest pedestal or a
sassy fibre used to produce
budget négligées.
Although it was mostly a
20th-century fixation that
has lost its relevance now,
purity is a secondary con-
notation of white lace.
White lace has earned a
reputation for also repre-
senting fresh starts and
rebirth.
If a pattern is recog-
nised as being from a spe-
cific area, it might honour
a lineage or a family’s her-
itage. You can still buy
heirloom lace. Additional-
ly, there are those who can
knit heirloom lace, contin-
uing the tradition of hand-
crafted lace.
Every living thing has lace in it, including the barren branches of winter, cloud formations and the
water’s surface as it moves with the wind. If you look closely enough, even the matted fur of a wild
dog will display a lacy pattern. So, let’s dive into the world of ethereal lace fashion with City First!
