During this, as soon as NSUI workers started burning
Baghel’s effigy, BJP workers started protesting against
it. Within no time a scuffle broke out between the
workers of both the parties. Due to which some work-
ers have also got hurt. But suddenly the NSUI decided
to protest outside the Jaipur city BJP headquarters
located in Tilak Nagar. Suddenly dozens of students
reached outside the BJP headquarters and started
raising slogans. The police have arrested NSUI state
spokesperson Ramesh Bhati, Amardeep Parihar, Govind
Mandila, Meghraj Gurjar and Gunjan Sharma.

IN-DEPTH
TOP TWEETS
USING FESTIVALS
TO DEEPEN THE
COMMUNAL DIVIDE
BETWEEN PEOPLE
armonious coexist-
ence between Hindus
and Muslims is being
made difficult by the
day
. Whether love ji-
had or an advertisement, it is
looked at with the narrowness of
amindtheonlyobjectiveof which
is to deepen the divide. In a recent
boutof Hinduism,therightwing-
ers kicked up a row over a Fa-
bindia advertisement with the
tagline “Jashn-e-Riwaaz”. The
objection was to the use of the
Urdu term which simply means
“celebration of rituals”. Tejasvi
Surya, the BJP MP from Karna-
taka tweeted, “Diwali is not
Jashn-e-Riwaaz. This deliberate
attempt of abrahamisation of
Hindu festivals, depicting Hindu
modelswithouttraditionalHindu
attires, must be called out.” Does
Surya mean that all Hindu wom-
en wear a sari on a festival?
The BJP MP from Karnataka,
Ananthkumar Hegde, finds a
tyre ad featuring actor Aamir
Khan against bursting of crack-
ers on the streets as anti-Hindu,
although even devout Hindus
point out that there were no fire-
crackers to greet Lord Ram on
his return to Ayodhya.
H
century of vac-
cines will make
October21adateto
remember! India
has achieved the
landmark figure of adminis-
tering 100 crore doses to its
people when most countries
doubted its capability to meet
the ambitious target in such a
short time. This is nothing
short of a miracle given the
complex challenges involved:
Vaccines were in short supply
,
arduous terrain was an obsta-
cle in reaching out to the last
man, logistical requirement
was mammoth, removing the
mental block was, and contin-
ues to be, just that, a block that
preventedhesitantpeoplefrom
taking the jab. Kudos to vac-
cine manufacturers, doctors,
nurses and the community
who helped meet the magical
target in nine months through
their concerted efforts. Aware-
nesscampaignsabouthygiene,
Covid-19protocolandvaccines
also played a part.
As only a small number of
these 100 crore have got both
the doses of the vaccine, the
next challenge would lie in
convincing them to get the
second jab. The much talked
about booster dose will fol-
low next. The government
cannot leave the fight against
Covid-19 halfway through as
the fear of Covid-19 has not
gone away yet. Those of us
who think that a single jab is
good enough, should look at
China which, after adminis-
tering 200 crore jabs, is forced
to fight Covid surge again.
The pandemic is back with a
vengeance in Russia too. The
cases are also rising in Singa-
pore and the UK.
As we celebrate the mo-
mentous events, Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi’s words
need to be recalled. “The
journey from anxiety to as-
surance has happened…
thanks to the world’s largest
vaccination drive”.

A
IMRAN KHAN TALKS ABOUT
CIVIL SUPREMACY
PAK PM
AGREES TO
THE ARMY
NOMINEE,
ANJUM, TO
LEAD THE SPY
AGENCY, ISI
he Pakistan Prime Minister,
Imran Khan, once a darling
of the Pakistani dictators,
suddenly heard talking about
the supremacy of the civilian
supremacy, but reports indi-
cate that he finally concedes
to the army’s nominee, Lt
General Nadeem Ahmed An-
jum, to be appointed the new
director general of the Inter-
Services Intelligence (ISI).
Khan, who had conspired
with the present incumbent
in the ISI, Faize Hameed, to
get the 2018 general elections
manipulated in his favour,
has reportedly relented
amidst the reports of an im-
minent martial law. His love
for Faize Hameed could be
traced to the 2018 elections,
when he was the chief of
counterintelligence. During
the past three years, Bajwa-
Imran- Faize nexus has been
ruling Pakistan. Imran has
already awarded the army
chief Qamar Jawed Bajwa
with a three-year extension.
The delay in the notifica-
tion by the Prime Minister’s
Office (PMO) in the appoint-
ment of Anjum has become a
public issue. Earlier, a re-
lease of the Director General
Inter-Services Public Rela-
tions (DG ISPR), issued on
October 6, 2021, had men-
tioned the appointments of
the corps commanders,
which included the name of
the new ISI chief. It was done
due to the transfer of Faize
Hameed as the corps com-
mander of Peshawar. It is
also stated that these ap-
pointments were announced
following a detailed meeting
between Khan and Bajwa.
It appears Khan wanted to
reconsider the new postings,
but the GHQ has refused to
revisit the issue. It is being
stated that Faize Hameed’s
posting was a part of the
chain of new deployments. A
new commander had to be
appointed in place of Anjum,
presently commanding the
Corps V at Karachi. Since
Faize Hameed is aspiring to
become the army chief, he
must have at least one year
of experience as the corps
commander, if Bajwa does
not seek further extension.
Since Faize Hameed had suc-
cessfully conspired against
the then prime minister,
Nawaz Sharif, and his party,
Pakistan Muslim League –
Noon (PML-N) in a number
of false corruption cases. In
2019, he was made the ISI
chief. He is confident that
Khan would appoint him the
army chief, if an opportuni-
ty comes next year.
Some of the senior media
commentators, including
Nazam Sethi, have accused
Khan that he wants a ‘suita-
ble person’ as the ISI chief to
ensure his victory in the
2023 elections. The opposi-
tion led by Maryam, vice-
president of the country’s
main opposition party, PML-
N, has already stated that
“we are not going to endorse
Khan’s futile effort to raise
the issue of civilian suprem-
acy in his on-going differ-
ences with the GHQ.
Meanwhile, there are re-
ports that the delay in the no-
tification is due to the ‘spirit-
ualadvice’of hiswife,Bushra
Bibi. These reports also rule
out the possibility of any dif-
ference between and his men-
tor, Bajwa. They, however, do
not explain why the four cabi-
net ministers of the Khan
government were refused any
discussions on this issue and
asked to go back from the
GHQ at Rawalpindi. The rap-
prochement could happen,
according to informed sourc-
es, following hectic parleys
between the confidants of
Khan and the military estab-
lishment. However, there are
heated debates in the Paki-
stani media that Khan is be-
ing advised on vital issues
related to his government by
his wife, Bushra BIbi, who is
also his spiritual guru. Most
of the decisions, especially
regarding appointments, are
being taken on her advice. It
is stated that she knows black
magic and could control
Djinns in support of Khan.
They were married just six
months before Khan’s eleva-
tion as the prime minister.
Meanwhile, General Anjum
has met Khan to assure his
full support during his tenure
in the spy agency
. Maybe, sat-
isfied with his meeting with
Anjum, he may soon go for
the pilgrimage to the Holy
Mecca with Bushra Bibi. The
Bajwa-Imran-Faiz team has
been working quite smoothly
,
but the delay in the notifica-
tion appears to have caused a
trust deficit in this nexus.

M Sharma
New Delhi: Once upon
a time, it was said for
Congress that the party
was never in Opposi-
tion. That is to say that
it either is in power or
waits for it. The same
thing can now be said
about the BJP and its
leaders are either in
power or waiting to
come to power.
In the states where
BJP has lost elections,
its leaders are not act-
ing like Opposition, but
are waiting to gain pow-
er. Recently, former Ma-
harashtra Chief Minis-
ter Devendra Fadnavis
also said that he still
considers himself as a
Chief Minister. Taking
a jibe at this, Sharad Pa-
war said, “I was Chief
Minister thrice but now
I can’t even remember.”
However, the states
where the BJP lost As-
sembly polls and sat in
Opposition like in Mad-
hya Pradesh and Karna-
taka; the party gradu-
ally bounced back to
form the governments.
In Rajasthan too, the
Congress government
would have fallen and if
the revolt of Sachin Pi-
lot had been successful
last year, it was possible
that there would have
been a BJP government
or a government sup-
ported by BJP. The de-
velopments in these
three states had given
hope to the BJP leaders
of Maharashtra and
Jharkhand that in these
two states also, a BJP
government can be
formed by toppling the
elected government.
But even after two
years, they are still dis-
appointed.
It is not that there is
a lack of efforts in both
the states. Efforts have
been made but without
success as the alliance
in both the states is
strong and the BJP is
far from the required
majority
. So its bets are
not succeeding.
Maharashtra BJP
will have to change the
coalition or make a big
dent in any one party to
form the government,
which is not possible
due to Sharad Pawar
and Uddhav Thackeray
.
That is why the leaders
hoping to become the
CM and minister have
been disappointed.
Sensing their disap-
pointment, in the past,
BJP leader and former
minister Pankaja
Munde advised her par-
ty leaders not to be ob-
sessed with fall of Maha
Vikas Aghadi govern-
ment.
In fact, in Jharkhand
too, an almost similar
situation exists. There
too BJP made several
efforts. After the elec-
tion, Babulal Marandi’s
advisors and close
friends, who were
brought to BJP with a
lot of fanfare, raised the
matter of sexual abuse
of a girl from Maha-
rashtra on the Chief
Minister, in which the
matter reached the Su-
preme Court but noth-
ing happened. A BJP
MP complained to the
Lokpal, on which the
file is lying after pre-
liminary investigation
by the CBI and it is not
being decided to do a
regular FIR. So, the
state BJP leaders are
now getting disappoint-
ed and their hopes of
coming to power with-
out assembly elections
have started shattering.
MAHA J’KHAND BJP LEADERS DISAPPOINTED AS THEIR
HOPES TO TOPPLE GOVTS DYING A NATURAL DEATH!
Rakesh Ranjan
New Delhi: The pub-
lic-sector headhunter’s
(PESB) selection of a
Managing Director of
Hospital Services Con-
sultancy Corporation
(India) Limited
(HSCC), a subsidiary
of NBCC India Limit-
ed, may be watched
with great interest by
one and all. Selection
interview, expected to
take place on October
25, will screen over a
dozen short-listed can-
didates in about 180
minutes earmarked for
the purpose.
Taking into account
the transition time of
2-3 minutes between
two successive inter-
views, over 30-40 min-
utes may be spent on
procedural activities,
leaving about 2.30 hrs
for interaction with the
candidates.
Reportedly, the inter-
view will begin at 2 pm
and conclude by 5 pm.
It is said that the cu-
riosity about the selec-
tion interview has
heightened because of
the short time of about
10-15 minutes sched-
uled for interviewing
each of the shortlisted
candidates versus 35-40
minutes given by the
UPSC for conducting
such interviews.
Officials expected to
be called for interview
are Yogesh Sharma
(Senior ED, NBCC In-
dia Limited); Manas
Kaviraj (ED, NBCC);
Mahesh Chand Bansal
(ED, NBCC); K P Ma-
hadevswamy (ED,
NBCC); Pawan Kumar
(ED, NBCC); Reshma
Dudani (ED, NBCC);
Sanjay Singal (Senior
ED, WAPCOS); Sanjay
Goel (Group GM, Engi-
neering Projects India
Limited); Pradip Ku-
mar Srivastava (Chief
Engineer, BSNL; Ra-
jasekar T (Director
HLL Life Care); Vijay
Garg (ED Railways) and
Rakesh Kumar Gupta
(Chief Engineer, Rail-
ways).
It may be underlined
that the post of HSCC
(India) MD has been va-
cant since August this
year. Presently, Suresh
Chandra Garg is hold-
ing the charge of MD.
The selected candi-
date will replace
Gyanesh Pandey who
completed his term on
his retirement in July
this year.
Anita Hada
New Delhi: Along-
with the festive season
which is on across the
country right now,
election season too
has started, which is
going to last for a
whole year. The entire
next year is going to
be dedicated to elec-
tions as there are mu-
nicipal elections in
Delhi and Mumbai
next year and Assem-
bly elections are going
to be held in 7 states
throughout the year.
Then there are also
biennial elections to
the Rajya Sabha and
elections for the Presi-
dent and Vice Presi-
dent are also to be held
in the middle of 2022.
In this, the dates for
the election of Con-
gress President have
also been fixed. How-
ever, the municipal
and state elections are
being seen as a re-
hearsal for the 2024
Lok Sabha elections,
so it can be guessed
how these elections
will be fought.
At present, by-elec-
tions are going on in a
dozen states of the
country for three Lok
Sabha seats and 30 As-
sembly seats, for
which voting is to be
held on October 30. Lo-
cal bodies elections
are going on in Bihar,
which will run till the
end of November.
Meanwhile, if all goes
well, elections to local
bodies will be held in
West Bengal too.
Moreover, the ‘New
Year’ i.e. 2022 will
start with a big bang.
Assembly elections
will be held in five
states, Uttar Pradesh,
Uttarakhand, Punjab,
Manipur and Goa in
February-March. In

From P1…
But perhaps the high-
light of this develop-
ment was the growing
trust and faith in Rahul
Gandhi towards Ra-
jasthan Health Minister
and Gujarat Incharge
Dr. Raghu Sharma.
Highly placed sources
reveal that while the
three hour long meet-
ing occurred in a for-
mal environment,
Raghu, taking a leap of
faith, extended an in-
vite to Rahul to honour
the group with his pres-
ence over lunch at Ra-
jasthan House. But
what was even more
surprising for this
group was the fact that
Rahul did not ‘dilly-dal-
ly’ and immediately ac-
cepted the invite say-
ing, “I will be there.”
True to his word, Ra-
hul did not made the
leaders wait and
reached in time at Ra-
jasthan House where he
was welcomed by
Raghu Sharma with a
floral bouquet.
In fact, during the
meeting too, Raghu was
seen sitting adjacent to
Rahul as he chaired the
meeting on Gujarat.
Moreover, during the
lunchtoo,theduo‘broke
bread’ as Rahul was
treated to Rajasthani
delicacies like Gatta,
and the former Con-
gress president ap-
peared visibly im-
pressed with Raghu’s
abilitytobringtheparty
as a close knit unit in
merely days since he
was appointed. In turn,
Raghu too appeared im-
mensely confident in
the manner and way he
carried out the role on
Friday, before Rahul
Gandhi.
In fact, the Gujarat
Congress will hold a ma-
jor program under
Raghu’s leadership.
Now there is a certain
section of the Congress
leaders that is trying to
consult astrologers
about Raghu’s horo-
scope and the quick suc-
cession in which he has
jumped the ‘political
ladder’. This group are
surmising whether
Raghu will write a new
‘story’ in Rajasthan or
if he will be elevated to
the post of Rajasthan
PCC Chief too as he is
now being seen as an
upcoming third power
centre in Rajasthan! Al-
though the answers to
these questions lie in
Gehlot’s kitty while un-
perturbed by these lead-
ers and their ‘thinking’,
Raghu is busy in chalk-
ing out the Gujarat ‘re-
vival’ for Congress.
According to sources,
Raghu’s elevation may
not be good news for Pi-
lot camp because in an
ongoing tug of war be-
tween Gehlot and Pilot
camps, Raghu has pub-
licly supported Gehlot’s
stand. Accordingly,
now, Gehlot camp also
feels that Raghu now
may take care of Pilot
factor with the Gan-
dhis.

CENTRE, MAY ‘BALANCE’ PILOT FACTOR!
