AFTER SUNIL JAKHAR AND HARDIK
PATEL, NOW IT IS KAPIL SIBAL’S TURN
In this way, now Congress itself implements Modi-Shah’s ‘Congress-Mukt Bharat’ agenda
I had a deep relation
with Congress. It
was for 30-31 years.
This is not a small thing.
I joined Congress
because of Rajivji. You
must be thinking, how
one can go from the
Congress after 31 years.
There must be
something (for
leaving).. that my heart
is facing. Sometimes
such decisions are to
be taken. I am not far
away from the Con-
gress and its ideology. I
am with the sentiments
of the party
We want to make a
coalition and
oppose the Modi govt.
We want to create an
atmosphere in which
we can oppose the BJP.
I will personally work
towards that
I am with all-inclu-
sive ideologies. Be
it of the SP, RLD,
Mamataji or Stalin
Kapil Sibal is
a senior lead-
er and a
known lawyer. He had
been in the Lok Sabha
and Rajya Sabha and
put his point across
well everywhere. I
hope he will put his
views on big questions
of unemployment and
inflation, insecure
borders and China.

“HOW’S THE PRASAD,
MR SIBAL?”: PRASADA
New Delhi: UP Minister Jitin Prasada, who quit
Cong joined BJP in June last year just before
Assembly polls, on Wednesday
found an opportunity to troll
Sibal, nearly a year after Sibal
- who himself left the Congress
- tweeted a swipe at Sibal for
joining rival party. Prasada was
Cong’s top Brahmin face in UP
once close to Rahul. The day Prasada bade farewell
to Cong, Sibal had tweeted, “Jitin Prasada joins BJP.
Question is will he get ‘prasada’ from BJP or is he
just a ‘catch’ for UP polls? In such deals if ‘ideology’
doesn’t matter changeover is easy,” Sibal tweeted.
Kapil Sibal files his nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections, with the support of SP, in presence of
party chief Akhilesh Yadav and party MP Ram Gopal Yadav, in Lucknow on Wednesday.

Ashwini Kumar Choubey, a
veteran BJP leader from Bi-
har, shares with us how PM
Modi, who was the CM of Gu-
jarat in 2013, came to his fam-
ily’s rescue when they were
stranded amidst nature’s fury
atKedarnath.Hetellsusabout
how Modiji left no stone un-
turned to rescue him and his
family who were then inside
the sanctum sanctorum of the
Kedarnath temple and he lay
unconscious there. Modiji
kept the rescue work on for
several hours and did every-
thing in his power to help
those stuck within the temple.
On June 16, 2013, I reached
Patna after attending the
working committee meeting
in Goa, and from there, along
with my family
, left for Kedar-
nath. We knew that the situa-
tion in Kedarnath was not
ordinary as it had been rain-
ing continuously for 3 days. I
called up the District Magis-
trate at Rudraprayag and he
said that the situation was
quite grim as landslides had
blocked roads at several plac-
es. He also said that it would
take a couple of days for them
to meet me.
Even as we were having a
conversation, I received a call
from Narendra bhai. He
asked about my whereabouts
and I told him I was in Kedar-
nath and that the situation
there seemed rather terrify-
ing and that I had a feeling of
impending doom. As Modiji
hung up, I received a call
from a journalist in Patna. As
we were conversing, I heard
the deafening roar of a disas-
ter. It was as if a thousand
dynamites had gone off all at
once and the lone candle
burning on the table since
morning as there was no elec-
tricity, was blown off. It was
pitch dark. My sons Arjit and
Aviral and my son-in-law
Subodh were sitting around
the table with me and my
youngest son said “Papaji I
think it’s an earthquake.”
The sounds of nature were
ear-shattering
and I could
hear nothing then. Suddenly,
I was floating in water up to
my chest. The entire room
seemed to be engulfed in wa-
ter and my entire family was
deep in water. We could hard-
ly hear or see each other.
I was overwhelmed
and
overcome with emotion. We
had just offered our prayers at
theJagadgurushrineandnow
I could see our revered statue
of LordShivaimmersedinthe
deluge. People, houses, and
animals, all were being swept
awayinthedevastatingfloods.
The devotees were jostling in
the water to somehow stay
afloat.Itseemedasif theheav-
ens had torn asunder as we
saw the house where the devo-
tees were standing moments
ago, being swept away in the
flash floods. Those three days,
June 16th, 17th and 18th have
leftanindelibleimpressionon
me because we, along with
scores of people, spent those
days within the seer’s sama-
dhi. In the evening of June
18th we heard sound of heli-
copters from Bhata, but we
knew nothing was possible
because of the unprecedented
devastation we could witness
all around.
On 20th June, we received
a call from the National Con-
venor and we then tried to
establish contact with Naren-
dra bhai. When Modiji called,
I was not in a position to
speak because of exhaustion.
My son Arjit spoke with him
as he inquired about our
whereabouts, our health and
the condition of all the people
around us. Modiji was anx-
ious not just for us but for all
the people who were stranded
and dying. He spoke in great
detail with Arjit and after
taking in the minutest de-
tails, he comforted my son
that everything would be al-
right. He would inform Suni-
lji and tell him to arrange for
help as soon as possible. He
also said he would speak with
the CM of Uttarakhand, Ba-
hugunaji to send for rescue
and in case, there is still any
hindrance in the rescue op-
eration, Narendrabhai
as-
sured my son that he would
send a helicopter from Guja-
rat for our safe and quick res-
cue. He went to the extent of
saying that he himself would
reach Kedarnath to protect
us. Such words of assurances
and promises went a long way
in comforting our family and
in raising hopes of getting
another day to live and serve
the people of our country
.
I can never forget how deep-
ly Narendra bhai was touched
by the plight of thousands
devastated by the floods. His
mind was constantly focused
on ways and means to send
across relief to the victims
and the first-hand-experie
nc-
es narrated by Arjit had a
deep impact on Narendrab-
hai’s psyche. In his heart, he
simply wanted to be present
in-person to render help to the
affected people. Although he
was the CM of Gujarat at that
time, but his heart went out to
each one of his countrymen
who were suffering the wrath
of nature. Only a true leader,
a great statesman can feel and
think of the common man in
such a way
.
While I was hospitalised, I
heard him asking how as the
CM of Gujarat he could be of
help in a disaster of such a
great magnitude and assured
of all the help from the Guja-
rat government to bring re-
lief to people. I was so full of
emotion and touched by these
words and I thought, Naren-
dra bhai is no ordinary man.
He is a man with a vision
who’s priority is not just his
state, but the country, and
now it’s not just the country
but the entire world.
He was never constrained
by boundaries and this vast-
ness of spirit and the magna-
nimity of heart that he dis-
plays, it is a result of his
bhakti. He is a spiritually
evolved leader and this is his
greatest shakti. How this
shakti is manifesting itself
by protecting our country is
for one and all to see and ex-
perience!.

conducted a study to ex-
amine the epidemiologi-
cal characteristics of the
pandemic by describing
clinical profiles of COV-
ID-19 patients, and found
that hypertension was
the most common co-
morbidity among them.
The outbreak of the
pandemic in Delhi was
first reported in March
2020. A total of 3,534 pa-
tients were enrolled in
this study done by doc-
tors at the 650-bed Rajiv
Gandhi Super Speciality
Hospital (RGSSH), aged
9-96 years. Among pa-
tients with symptoms,
fever and cough were the
most common present-
ing symptoms, while 5.6
per cent of the patients
were asymptomatic, as
per the study published
in the Journal of Family
Medicine and Primary
Care in May. The exer-
cise was undertaken to
“study the epidemiologi-
cal characteristics of the

COVID-19 patients” pre-
senting to the super spe-
cialty hospital, a doctor
who was part of the
study said.
COVID-19 is quite dif-

tivity. There are still
many uncertainties,
which prevail about the
epidemic.

‘Delhi to hold weekly fair from June 1
to promote alternatives to SUP items’
Delhi government will
conduct a weekly fair
to promote alternatives
to single-use plastic
(SUP) items from June
1, Environment Minis-
ter Gopal Rai said on
Wednesday.
The government will
also incentivise units
engaged in the produc-
tion of alternatives to
SUP items under the
Delhi Start-up Policy,
he said. The policy
aims to promote entre-
preneurship in the na-
tional capital by pro-
viding financial assis-
tance to build a suc-
cessful business.
Rai said the Munici-
pal Corporation of Del-
hi (MCD) has been
asked to prepare a list
of shops selling SUP
items so that they can
be linked with units
manufacturing their
alternatives.
“After the ban on
SUP items comes into
force (from July 1),
there will be a new
challenge for workers,
suppliers, manufactur-
ers and sellers of such
products.
“Secondly, SUP items
are being used at a
large scale. Keeping
these things in mind,
we discussed the alter-
natives available in the
market at a conference
with departments con-
cerned,” Rai said.
Start-ups and self-
help groups manufac-
turing alternatives to
SUP items showcased
their products at 17
stalls at the Delhi Sec-
retariat, he said.
In August last year,
the Union Environ-
ment Ministry had is-
sued a notification pro-
hibiting the manufac-
ture, import, stocking,
distribution, sale and
use of identified single-
use plastic commodi-
ties, including polysty-
rene and expanded
polystyrene from July
1, 2022.

Water motors, power meters among
most stolen objects during house thefts
New Delhi: An analysis
of e-FIRs filed in con-
nection with burglaries
and house theft under-
taken by the Delhi Po-
lice Crime Branch has
revealed that around
80% of the cases relate
to theft of cell phones,
water and electricity
meters, motors, and
sewer lids.
Delhi Police Commis-
sioner Rakesh Asthana
has asked all 15 DCPs to
now make a plan of ac-
tion and keep tabs on lo-
cal scrap dealers to pre-
vent such petty thefts.
This came up for discus-
sion during a recent
crime review meeting at
the Delhi Police head-
quarters that included
the Police Commission-
er along with Special
CPs, Joint CPs and
DCPs.
On January 26, Astha-
na had launched an e-
FIR system for registra-
tion of house theft and
burglary cases online to
save the people’s time.
Before this, there was a
similar system for lodg-
ing e-FIRs for vehicle
thefts and simple thefts,
launched by former po-
lice chief B S Bassi in
2015. Data provided by
the Delhi Police till April
20 this year shows that
4,479 cases have been re-
ported as compared to
1,578 cases last year dur-
ing the same time peri-
od. “The maximum cas-
es have been reported in
Dwarka (749) followed by
471 in Northwest Delhi,
457 in Southeast Delhi,
421 in Outer Delhi and
363 in South Delhi,” an
officer said.

Bengaluru (PTI): The
ongoing Karnataka
textbook row has hit an-
other roadblock as two
writers, Devanur Ma-
hadeva and G Ram-
akrishna, have revoked
their permission to in-
clude their writings as
part of the class 10 Kan-
nada textbooks.
This comes after pri-
mary and secondary
minister BC Nagesh, on
Monday, defended the
changes made to some
portions of Kannada
and Social Science text-
books, including the
dropping of Sara Abu-
backer and other pro-
gressive writers. In two
separate letters, the duo
haveexpressedtheirdis-
appointment by calling
themethodof reviewing
textbooks as ‘undemo-
cratic’ and ‘unethical’.
“Anyone dropping the
writings of people like
AL Basavaraju, AN
Murthy, P Lankesh and
Sara Abubaker is not
aware of Karnataka and
its culture. Rohith
Chakrathirtha who
headed the textbook re-
view committee, claims
thatheisnotidentifying
writers by their caste.
However, if you don’t be
inclusive of caste in a
country like India, at
least 90 per cent of peo-
ple would be excluded,
thus impacting the par-
ticipatory model of de-
mocracy
. Hence, I have
withdrawn from giving
permission to use my
writings in the text-
book,” Mahedeva said
in his letter.
He also added that
BJP has always inter-
fered and is manipulat-
ing education and his-
tory since the days of
former union human
resources development
minister Murali Mano-
har Joshi.

“Presently the pun-

without any communal
or religious prejudice.
Likewise, there should
be equal treatment to
offenders with regard
to civil issues,” the

Patna (Agencies): Bi-
har Caste-based Census:
Amid reports of disqui-
et in ruling alliance
partners in Bihar over
the caste-based Census,
sources have indicated
that the two major rul-
ing constituents of the
NDA -- BJP and JD(U)
have reached a consen-
sus for the exercise that
has become a focal point
in the state’s politics.
Sources told media
that BJP has assured
Chief Minister Nitish
Kumar of support for
the caste-based Census
in Bihar.
The development as-
sumes significance as it
comes in the backdrop
of reports of differenc-
es in the alliance be-
tween the ‘big brother’
BJP and JD(U) and Nit-
ish’s growing bonhomie
with Lalu’s RJD.
Kumar recently said
that he will convene an
all-party meet this week
to discuss the state-spe-
cific census of castes.
State Minister Vijay Ku-
mar Chaudhary said
that the meeting will
take place on June 1.
Last year, Tejashwi
was part of a delegation
that met PM Modi to
press the demand for a
caste census.

on Wednesday demanded
a caste-based census,
saying such an exercise
was necessary to ensure
social equality. Addressing
a meeting of the NCP OBC

fully due to them. “We are

to conduct a caste-based
census,” the former Union

NO DIFFERENCES WITH NITISH KUMAR: RCP SINGH
Patna: Union Steel Minister RCP Singh finally spoke up
over ongoing speculation about his future in the Narendra
Modi Cabinet because of a delay by the Janata Dal (U) in
declaring his candidature for the coming Rajya Sabha elec-
tion. He dismissed the claims about differences between
him and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and also about
a possible split between the JD(U) and the BJP. Speaking
to reporters in Delhi before heading to a Cabinet meeting,
Singh stated, “There are no differences between me and Ni-
tish ji on any issue, and today evening I am going to Patna.”
The final deadline for filing the nominations, he said, is on
May 31 and there is still time for that.

PC George arrested
after court cancels
bail in Hate speech
Thiruvananthapuram
(Agencies): Six-time
former Congress legis-
lator P C George, whose
bail in an alleged hate
speech case was can-
celled by a court in the
state capital Thiru-
vananthapuram on
Wednesday, was taken
into custody by the Ker-
ala police. The Court
also granted the police
the power to arrest
George and produce
him before the court.
George, along with
his son Shaun George
had arrived before the
Palarivattom police. He
had another similar
case for which he was to
appear before the police
as a lower court which
granted him bail on
May 1 had cancelled it.
Speaking to the me-
dia, State BJP chief
Surendran said it was
unfair that there are
different laws for differ-
ent people.
“While the police was
quick to arrest George
for a hate speech, this
yardstick is not seen
when the same crime is
being committed by
others (Muslim lead-
ers), no arrest is made.
This is a clear cut case
of different treatment
and George has been a
victim of this. We want
to ask why are the po-
lice not arresting other
people for the same
crime,” he added.

Ashwini Kumar Choubey, a
veteran BJP leader from Bi-
har, shares with us how PM
Modi, who was the CM of Gu-
jarat in 2013, came to his fam-
ily’s rescue when they were
stranded amidst nature’s fury
atKedarnath.Hetellsusabout
how Modiji left no stone un-
turned to rescue him and his
family who were then inside
the sanctum sanctorum of the
Kedarnath temple and he lay
unconscious there. Modiji
kept the rescue work on for
several hours and did every-
thing in his power to help
those stuck within the temple.
On June 16, 2013, I reached
Patna after attending the
working committee meeting
in Goa, and from there, along
with my family
, left for Kedar-
nath. We knew that the situa-
tion in Kedarnath was not
ordinary as it had been rain-
ing continuously for 3 days. I
called up the District Magis-
trate at Rudraprayag and he
said that the situation was
quite grim as landslides had
blocked roads at several plac-
es. He also said that it would
take a couple of days for them
to meet me.
Even as we were having a
conversation, I received a call
from Narendra bhai. He
asked about my whereabouts
and I told him I was in Kedar-
nath and that the situation
there seemed rather terrify-
ing and that I had a feeling of
impending doom. As Modiji
hung up, I received a call
from a journalist in Patna. As
we were conversing, I heard
the deafening roar of a disas-
ter. It was as if a thousand
dynamites had gone off all at
once and the lone candle
burning on the table since
morning as there was no elec-
tricity, was blown off. It was
pitch dark. My sons Arjit and
Aviral and my son-in-law
Subodh were sitting around
the table with me and my
youngest son said “Papaji I
think it’s an earthquake.”
The sounds of nature were
ear-shattering and I could
hear nothing then. Suddenly,
I was floating in water up to
my chest. The entire room
seemed to be engulfed in wa-
ter and my entire family was
deep in water. We could hard-
ly hear or see each other.
I was overwhelmed and
overcome with emotion. We
had just offered our prayers at
theJagadgurushrineandnow
I could see our revered statue
of LordShivaimmersedinthe
deluge. People, houses, and
animals, all were being swept
awayinthedevastatingfloods.
The devotees were jostling in
the water to somehow stay
afloat.Itseemedasif theheav-
ens had torn asunder as we
saw the house where the devo-
tees were standing moments
ago, being swept away in the
flash floods. Those three days,
June 16th, 17th and 18th have
leftanindelibleimpressionon
me because we, along with
scores of people, spent those
days within the seer’s sama-
dhi. In the evening of June
18th we heard sound of heli-
copters from Bhata, but we
knew nothing was possible
because of the unprecedented
devastation we could witness
all around.
On 20th June, we received
a call from the National Con-
venor and we then tried to
establish contact with Naren-
dra bhai. When Modiji called,
I was not in a position to
speak because of exhaustion.
My son Arjit spoke with him
as he inquired about our
whereabouts, our health and
the condition of all the people
around us. Modiji was anx-
ious not just for us but for all
the people who were stranded
and dying. He spoke in great
detail with Arjit and after
taking in the minutest de-
tails, he comforted my son
that everything would be al-
right. He would inform Suni-
lji and tell him to arrange for
help as soon as possible. He
also said he would speak with
the CM of Uttarakhand, Ba-
hugunaji to send for rescue
and in case, there is still any
hindrance in the rescue op-
eration, Narendrabhai as-
sured my son that he would
send a helicopter from Guja-
rat for our safe and quick res-
cue. He went to the extent of
saying that he himself would
reach Kedarnath to protect
us. Such words of assurances
and promises went a long way
in comforting our family and
in raising hopes of getting
another day to live and serve
the people of our country
.
I can never forget how deep-
ly Narendra bhai was touched
by the plight of thousands
devastated by the floods. His
mind was constantly focused
on ways and means to send
across relief to the victims
and the first-hand-experienc-
es narrated by Arjit had a
deep impact on Narendrab-
hai’s psyche. In his heart, he
simply wanted to be present
in-person to render help to the
affected people. Although he
was the CM of Gujarat at that
time, but his heart went out to
each one of his countrymen
who were suffering the wrath
of nature. Only a true leader,
a great statesman can feel and
think of the common man in
such a way
.
While I was hospitalised, I
heard him asking how as the
CM of Gujarat he could be of
help in a disaster of such a
great magnitude and assured
of all the help from the Guja-
rat government to bring re-
lief to people. I was so full of
words and I thought, Naren-
dra bhai is no ordinary man.
He is a man with a vision
who’s priority is not just his
state, but the country, and
now it’s not just the country
but the entire world.
He was never constrained
by boundaries and this vast-
ness of spirit and the magna-
nimity of heart that he dis-
plays, it is a result of his
bhakti. He is a spiritually
evolved leader and this is his
greatest shakti. How this
shakti is manifesting itself
by protecting our country is
for one and all to see and ex-
perience!.

that COVID aware-
ness messages, im-
portant government
guidelines and free

That Doordarshan

by their role in set-

throughprompt
c o v e r a g e ,
ground re-
ports and
organising

said.
Speaking on the is-
sue of misinforma-
tion, the Minister
said, “Unverified
claims and fake con-
tent circulating in

treme fear amongst

the platform strongly
fought against the
menace of fake news
and misinformation
on a real time basis.
The theme of the

that the media was
today highly techno-

For the past one week,
there has been a ruck-
us about the things
that have happened in

The first and biggest
issue is whether or not
Nitish Kumar will give
a Rajya Sabha ticket to
the Union Minister
and his ‘special war-
lord’ RCP Singh? The
second question is,
will Nitish break away
from BJP and recon-
cile with RJD? Both
the issues are very se-
rious and have far-
reaching political im-
plications, however,
Nitish is not taking
any decision in a hur-
ry. He is maintaining
his distance from RCP
and despite this, it is
not final he will cut
RCP’s ticket.
On the other hand,
Tejashwi Yadav has
been roaming in Lon-
don for a week. If there
is to be a change of
power in Bihar and the
events are changing
quickly, he should
have been in Patna.
But he was away from
Patna, so questions
are being raised on the
possibility of change
of power.
Still, whatever deci-
sion Nitish Kumar has
to take, he will take it
after the all-party
meeting on caste cen-
sus to be held this
week. The Bharatiya
Janata Party has made
it clear that it is not in
favor of the caste cen-
sus, but the party will
not oppose it in Bihar.
If the BJP did not
participate in the all-
party meeting or
raised questions on it,
then it could be a mat-
ter of separation for
Nitish Kumar and all
the parties like RJD,
JDU, Congress, Left,
LJP, Hum, VIP will
come together. If this
happens then BJP will
be isolated.
Nitish has proposed
an all-party meeting
on Friday i.e. May 27
and the last date for fil-
ing nominations for
the Rajya Sabha is
May 30. So whatever
decision Nitish will
take, it is likely to hap-
pen only after May 27,
before which Tejashwi
will also reach Patna.
Will Nitish wait to strike on BJP after all party meet?

ment, the potent NSCN

their fate” and virtually
endorsed the Constitu-

“The moment the

gust 3, 2015 Framework

fate vis-a-vis Constitu-

signed by interlocutor

pact is itself within the
framework of Indian
Constitution,” Azo
Nienu told media.
He explained, “if it
was already within the
Constitution, one thing
is certain Naga Sover-
eignty is ruled out”.
It also rules out other
demands like ‘integra-

“When things are so
clear, so my moot point

vation work undertak-
en by the mosque au-
thorities in Juma Mas-
jid situated in the out-
skirts of the city.
The Hindu commu-
nity in the vicinity
claims that there is
every possibility of the
existence of a temple
at the Masjid site.
The Vishwa Hindu
Parishad (VHP) had
appealed to the district

cease the work until
the documents were
verified.

Govt begins search for new IB,
RAW, NIA chiefs, say sources
New Delhi: The gov-
ernment has initiated
the process to select
chiefs for the country’s
top intelligence agen-
cies — the Intelligence
Bureau (IB), the Re-
search and Analysis
Wing (RAW), and the
National Investigation
Agency (NIA), security
sources said.
The government
does not seem to be in
the mood to give fur-
ther extension to the
present IB and RAW
chiefs, they said.
The tenure of cur-
rent IB chief Arvind
Kumar will come to an
end by this month while
RAW chief Samanta
Goel will be retiring on
June 30.
Both Kumar and Goel
were given a one year
extension in May last
year,beyondtheirsched-
uled service tenure.
The sources also said
that the government,
most likely, is willing to
give command to the
senior-most officers of
the IB and the RAW,
while appointing IPS of-
ficers from outside the
organisations will be
the last option.
As per the sources,
the frontrunner for the
post of IB chief is 1987
batch Bihar cadre IPS
officer AS Rajan, who is
currently serving as its
number two.

marked for the comple-
tion of government pro-
jects under MGNREGA

have paid five per cent
commission out of the
defrauded funds to the
Khunti district admin-
istration. Singhal, a
2000 batch IAS officer,

here to stay

optionalities though,”

Davos (PTI): Advanced
economies will be back
on track by 2024, but de-
veloping economies
will be 5% below where
they would have been
otherwise, IMF’s Gita
Gopinath said.
Economies world-
wide have been adverse-
ly impacted by the coro-
navirus pandemic and

into the recovery path.
The First Deputy
Managing Director of
the International Mon-
etary Fund said the war
in Ukraine has been a
major setback to the

.
“We had a serious
downgrade to the global
growth rate and the
world continues to face
headwinds because we
have a cost of living cri-
sis. Prices of commodi-
ties including fuel and
food are going up
around the world,” she
said.
Gopinath said cen-
tral banks are trying to
tackle this high level of
inflation and are rais-
ing interest rates sharp-
ly, which they need to
do, but that will also
have consequences for
global finance and
trade.
She was speaking at a
special session on
‘What next for global
growth?’ Gopinath said
there are very divergent
recoveries around the
world.
“While advanced
economies, as per our
estimates, will basically
get back to where they
would have been in ab-
sence of pandemic in
2024, but emerging and
developing economies
would be 5% below
where they would have
been in the absence of
the pandemic,” she
said.

RAJYA SABHA POLLS
SENA’S RAUT, SANJAY PAWAR
TO FILE NOMINATION TODAY
First India Bureau
Mumbai: Shiv Sena’s
Chief Spokesperson
Sanjay Raut on Wednes-
day said that he and
party colleague Sanjay
Pawar will file their
nomination papers for
the upcoming Rajya
Sabha polls, on May 26.
Pawar, the Shiv Sena
Kolhapur district presi-
dent, will be the party’s
second candidate for
the June 10 polls, Raut
had said on Tuesday, in
a clear snub to former
MP Chhatrapati Samb-
hajiraje, who was seek-
ing support for his can-
didature. The Sena,
which heads the coali-
tion government in Ma-
harashtra, will contest
two Rajya Sabha seats
and ensure victory in
both, asserted Raut,
whom the party has
granted a fourth con-
secutive term in the Up-
per House of Parlia-
ment.
Talking to reporters
on Wednesday, Raut
said, “The Shiv Sena
leaders had a discus-
sion with Chief Minis-
ter Uddhav Thackeray
and it has been decided
that Sanjay Pawar and I
will file our nomina-
tions for the Rajya Sab-
ha polls on Thursday.
There is no question of
supporting Sambhaji-
raje anymore.”
He said CM Thacker-
ay will be present when
they file their nomina-
tion papers.
“The Shiv Sena has
been firm on giving
tickets to party candi-
dates and we repeatedly
communicated it to
Sambhajiraje as well,”
he said. Asked about
Shiv Sena fighting
against Sambhajiraje,
Raut said, “We are not
fighting against him.
We respect him. We
have enough numbers
in the Assembly to win
two seats, and hence, we
have fielded Sanjay Pa-
war as well.”

‘Bid to corner Sambhaji
Chhatrapati over RS polls’
First India Bureau
Nagpur: BJP leader
DevendraFadnavison
Wednesday claimed
that political develop-
ments in Maharash-
tra over the upcoming
polls to the Rajya Sab-
ha were an attempt to
corner former MP
Sambhaji Chhatrapa-
ti, who was seeking
support for his candi-
dature.
Chhatrapati Samb-
haji, a descendant of
legendary warrior
king Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj, had
approached the Shiv
Sena last week and
sought its support to
entertheRajyaSabha.
The Sena had as-
sured support to the
former MP provid-
ed he joined the
party
,buthe
declined
the pro-
posal.
On Tuesday, Shiv
Sena’s chief spokes-
person Sanjay Raut
said the party’s Kol-
hapur district presi-
dent Sanjay Pawar
will be its second can-
didate for the upcom-
ing Rajya Sabha polls.
Six Rajya Sabha
seats from Maharash-
tra will go to polls on
June 10, with the op-
position BJP having
thenumberstogettwo
of its candidates elect-
ed.
The ruling Shiv
Sena, NCP and Con-
gress in Maharashtra
have enough votes to
secure one win each,
while together they
can win the sixth seat
as well, for which the
Sena has thrown its
hat in the ring.

Heated arguments between BJP,
SP members in UP Assembly
First India Bureau
Lucknow: The Uttar
Pradesh Assembly wit-
nessed a heated ex-
change of words be-
tween the BJP and SP
members on Wednes-
day, after Deputy Chief
Minister Keshav Prasad
Maurya’s remarks
irked Leader of Opposi-
tion Akhilesh Yadav.
Chief Minister Yogi
Adityanath had to in-
tervene, saying unpar-
liamentary words and
threats should not be
made part of the pro-
ceedings as it would
set a wrong precedent.
Participating in the
discussion on the gov-
ernor’s address, Mau-
rya said during his
speech in the House,
Yadav was “praising”
the work done in the
state when he was the
chief minister.
“If his work was of
any good, people would
not have cleaned up
the SP’s mess in the
election,” the BJP
leader said.
On Yadav’s claims of
launching various
schemes during the SP
regime, Maurya said,
“The leader of opposi-
tion does not get tired
of counting the
achievements of his
five-year tenure.
Which disease do you
have? If there is any
disease, I would say
that you get tested.”
“I would request
that the Leader of the
Opposition should get
proper treatment from
wherever he wants. Get
rid of this disease of
pasting a sticker of the
Samajwadi Party on
every scheme. You have
been out of power for
five years. Now, out
again for five more
years. Your number will
not come for the next 25
years,” he added.

GUJ: BSF SEIZES PAK FISHING
BOAT NEAR BORDER IN KUTCH
First India Bureau
Ahmedabad: The Bor-
der Security Force
(BSF) on Wednesday
seized an abandoned
Pakistani fishing boat
near the border in Guja-
rat’s Kutch district, an
official release said.
A patrolling team of
the BSF spotted the boat
in the morning on the
Indian side of the bor-
der with Pakistan in
Harami Nala creek
area, it said.
Nothing suspicious
was recovered from the
boat except fishing nets
and equipment, the
force said in a state-
ment. An intensive
search of the area was
launched after the boat
was found, it said.
“Crossing the marsh-
es and nalas on foot, the
BSF patrol party imme-
diately reached the spot
and seized one Paki-
stani fishing boat about
100 meters inside the
Indian border near bor-
der pillar no. 1165,” said
the release. The boat
was probably swept in-
side the Indian territo-
ry due to “high sea state
and strong winds,” the
BSF said. Fishermen
from Pakistan are fre-
quently apprehended in
this marshy area after
entering the Indian wa-
ters, mostly in search of
better catch. Indian
fishermen are barred
from entering the creek
due to security reasons.
In February, the BSF
had launched a massive
combing operation in
the Harami Nala area
against intruders and
caught six Pak nation-
als while seizing 11 fish-
ing boats. On May 4, the
BSF had seized a boat
abandoned by Pakistani
fishermen in the same
area.

National Green Tribu-
nal (NGT) has directed
the Uttarakhand chief
secretary to look into a
complaint alleging dis-
charge of untreated
waste into the river
Ganga in Rishikesh and
ensure adequate ar-
rangements for setting
up requisite sewage
treatment plants in the
state.
A bench headed by
NGT Chairperson Jus-
tice Adarsh Kumar
Goel noted the submis-
sion of the petitioner
that agents of the mu-
nicipal corporation
were taking bath and
washing vehicles using
the tap installed outside
a toilet complex on the
banks of the river Gan-
ga in Rishikesh.
“We direct the chief
secretary of Uttara-
khand to look into the
matter and take reme-
dial action in accord-
ance with law,’ the
bench said.
The tribunal’s order
came on a plea seeking
execution of the NGT’s
January 3, 2022 order
directing the Uttara-
khand government to
ensure that no untreat-
ed waste is discharged
into the river Ganga or
its tributary
.
The NGT had earlier
said that there has to be
an awareness pro-
gramme as well as a
monitoring cell created
at each municipal level
to ensure that no un-
treated waste is dis-
charged into the river.
“All the Ganga bank
towns and villages need
to follow septage proto-
cols as well as norms
applicable to the flood
protection zones. Evac-
uation from septic
tanks must be linked to
the pre-identified
STPs,” it had said.
The directions came
while disposing of a
plea filed by Vipin Nay-
yar against construc-
tion activities in the
flood plain zone of the
river Ganga.
The plea contended
that the Rishikesh Mu-
nicipal Corporation is
constructing toilets on
the flood plain zone il-
legally and discharging
untreated waste there-
from in the Ganga.
No STP has been con-
structed to treat the
waste, the plea said.

The tribunal had
directed that the
arrangement in
question should

not treated as a

Davos (PTI): Pakistan
Foreign Minister Bila-
wal Bhutto Zardari on
Wednesday said he is
hopeful that a day will
come when his country
will be able to engage
with India diplomati-
cally as well as econom-
ically
.
“Aaj nahin to kal, that
day will have to come.
That day we will unlock
our full economic po-
tential, and all will
share the fruit of pros-
perity,” Zardari said
while talking about var-
ious steps required to
unlock Pakistan’s eco-
nomic and trade oppor-
tunities, including with
its various neighbours.
“I hope that day will
come in my lifetime,
when we are able to re-
solve the conflicts in
our region and that day
we will be able to un-
lock our full growth po-
tential,” he said while
talking about numer-
ous conflicts in the
neighbourhood of his
country
.
Zardari, however, as-
serted that Pakistan
will never compromise
on its national interest
whenever it engages
with any other country
diplomatically or eco-
nomically
.
He also said that the
only way to resolve the
Ukraine crisis is
through dialogue and
diplomacy
.

Ukraine: 200 bodies found in
basement in Mariupol’s ruins
Kyiv (AP): Workers
digging through the
rubble of an apartment
building in Mariupol
found 200 bodies in the
basement, Ukrainian
authorities, as more
horrors come to light in
the ruined city that has
seen some of the worst
suffering of the
3-month-old war.
The bodies were de-
composing and the
stench hung over the
neighbourhood, said
Petro Andryushchen-
ko, an adviser to the
mayor. He did not say
when they were discov-
ered, but the sheer
number of victims
makes it one of the
deadliest known at-
tacks of the war.
Heavy fighting,
meanwhile, was report-
ed in the Donbas, the
eastern industrial
heartland that Mos-
cow’s forces are intent
on seizing. Russian
troops took over an in-
dustrial town that hosts
a thermal power sta-
tion, and intensified ef-
forts to encircle and
capture Sieviero-
donetsk and other cit-
ies.
Twelve people were
killed by Russian shell-
ing in the Donetsk re-
gion of the Donbas, ac-
cording to the regional
governor. And the gov-
ernor of the Luhansk
region of the Donbas
said the area is facing
its most difficult time
in the eight years since
separatist fighting
erupted there.
The Russians are ad-
vancing in all direc-
tions at the same time.
They brought over an
insane number of fight-
ers and equipment,”
the governor, Serhii
Haidai, wrote on Tele-
gram. The invaders are
killing our cities, de-
stroying everything
around. He added that
Luhansk is becoming
like Mariupol.
Mariupol was relent-
lessly pounded during a
nearly three-month
siege that ended last
week after some 2,500
Ukrainian fighters
abandoned a steel plant
where they had made
their stand.

FOCUS ON RESOLVING CONFLICTS
National Green Tribu-
nal (NGT) has sought a
report on a plea alleg-
ing unregulated extrac-
tion of water from the
Mussoorie Lake by pri-
vate hotels in Mus-
soorie, Uttarakhand.
A bench headed by
NGT Chairperson Jus-
tice A K Goel said un-
regulated withdrawal
of water from the lake
can certainly affect the
natural water cycle and
environmental func-
tions performed by it.
“We have considered
the matter. Unregulated
withdrawal of water
from the lake can cer-
tainly affect natural wa-
ter cycle and environ-
mental functions per-
formed by the Lake re-
charge of ground water
aquifer habitat to
aquatic and semi aquat-
ic plants and animals,
quality of water,” the
bench also comprising
Justice Sudhir Agarwal
and Arun Kumar Tyagi,
said. “Thus, it appears
to be necessary to ascer-
tain factual position
and remedial action
taken by the statutory
regulators,” it said.

he year 2022 would be
the year of periwin-
kle: a soft, soothing
shade-giving baby
blanket vibes. Maybe
we could have used a
swaddling palette af-
ter the past two tur-
bulent years, but
the breakout col-
our trend of 2022
couldn’t be far-
ther away in spir-
it. It turns out
fashion de-
signers wanted something
brighter, bolder, and more en-
ergetic: They wanted hot pink
and dynamic blue.
As we attempt to break down
why we wear what we wear,
and codify the qualities of dif-
ferent garments, it’s worth
starting with colour. An al-
ready well-established notion,
colour psychology looks at the
moods, qualities and emotions
associated with the shades of
Pink and Blue.
In the 21st century, the style
trends of the fashion industry
dominate the world more than
they ever did and control not
only the way people dress but
also trends in homeware de-
sign, makeup fashion and peo-
ple’s overall attitudes. In the
60s flower power did not only
mean flares and tunics, but it
also summed up the whole at-
titude of a generation, and this
is even more prominent today
.
Nowadays, fashion is bold
and daring, and this reflects a
noughties generation that is
not afraid to say what they
think or wear what they want.
Celebrating life’s special oc-
casions is one of the most joy-
ous things in the world. When
it comes to fashion, this means
wearing something that you
love and something that ex-
presses who you are. Fash-
ion photography is a
popular photog-
raphy genre,
but it is also
highly competitive. Under-
standing the different types
of fashion photography can
give you the edge you need
to both understand the
field and impress potential
clients with your images.
The phrase “leap of
faith” must be indeli-
bly imprinted on the
mind of just about
every young de-
signer who has
decided to go it
alone with their
own label
today.
