AAP ATTACKS BJP
CENTRE SHAMELESSLY USING ED
AGAINST OPPOSITION: GOPAL RAI
Nation is heading towards one-party rule, says Delhi Environment Minister
New Delhi (PTI): Sen-
ior AAP leader Gopal
Rai on Monday alleged
the Centre is “shame-
lessly” misusing the
Enforcement Directo-
rate against opposi-
tion parties that dare
to raise their voice
against the BJP,
and said it seems
the nation is heading
towards one-party
rule.
It’s not a secret any-
more and it’s not about
one or two opposition
parties.
The central govern-
ment is now misusing
the ED against all the
parties that dare to
speak against the BJP,
Rai told reporters here
while responding to a
query on Delhi minis-
ter Satyendar Jain’s
judicial custody in an
alleged money laun-
dering case.
“Central agencies
were misused earlier
too. But now they are
being misused openly
and brazenly. I think
it’s the beginning of a
new era in India. The
nation is heading to-
wards a one-party
rule,” he said.
Be it Jain, Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi
or Shiv Sena spokes-
person Sanjay Raut.
The names do not even
matter anymore. This
is an act against the
country’s constitution-
al principles, Rai
claimed.
A special CBI court
on Monday refused to
extend the judicial
custody of Delhi min-
ister Satyendar Jain in
the alleged case.
The ED on Monday
summoned Shiv Sena
leader Raut in an al-
leged money launder-
ing case of 2018. Gan-

HAS ‘HIGH HANDEDNESS’ IN MANAGING
PARTY AFFAIRS HIT THACKERAYS?
Mahesh Sharma
Mumbai: After the po-
litical developments in
Maharashtra, there
have been several re-
ports that the Chief
Minister knew for
months that prepara-
tions for a rebellion
were being made in his
party. NCP supremo
Sharad Pawar was quot-
ed as saying that he had
told Uddhav Thackeray
a month ago that all is
not well inside Shiv
Sena and he should fix
his house. Journalists
also say that there was a
CID report that Eknath
Shinde is angry and he
is uniting the MLAs.
The question is that
when everyone had the
news and Chief Minis-
ter Uddhav Thackeray
also knew, then why
were the disgruntled lot
‘managed’ in time? One
reason for this is being
told the working style of
the Thackeray family
. In
front of the Thackeray
family, the status of a
party leader is not more
than that of a peon.
Meanwhile, Uddhav
Thackeray’s health was
deteriorating, due to
which he stayed away
from his leaders.
Also a big reason is
that Shiv Sena has no
manager. Before Maha
Vikas Aghadi was
formed or Uddhav
Thackeray became the
Chief Minister, Sharad
Pawar was managing
the affairs from behind
the curtain. Even later,
Pawar’s management
continued to work in
maintaining the coali-
tion government. For
the first time there was
a crisis in the Shiv Sena
and it went out of con-
trol because in the last
two decades, the Shiv
Sena did not find any
manager. Its top leader,
the Thackeray family,
believed that no Shiv
Sainik could even think
of being a rebel. In the
Bal Thackeray era, Shiv
Sena had leaders like
Manohar Joshi,
Chhagan Bhujbal and
NarayanRanewhowere
also popular and also ex-
pert in management.
After the departure of
Bhujbal and Rane, there
is just Sanjay Raut left,
but he is also the leader
and spokesperson who
merely makes state-
ments and is not a ‘man-
ager’. Aaditya Thacker-
ay was believed to be
able to handle the man-
agement but the arro-
gance and feeling of be-
ing Bal Thackeray’s
grandson keeps him
away from party leaders
and workers.

AIADMK calls for high-
level meet; illegal: OPS
Chennai (ANI): Ahead
of the meeting of top
office-bearers of the All
India Anna Dravida
Munnetra Kazhagam
(AIADMK) on Monday
at the party’s head of-
fice in Chennai on Mon-
day, AIADMK coordina-
tor O Panneerselvam
has said that the meet-
ing is a violation of the
party by-law.
Pannerselvam or
OPS as he is known,
added that meetings
could be convened only
with the approval of
both coordinator and
co-coordinator. This
comes amid the battle
for single leadership in
the AIADMK between
former Tamil Nadu
chief minister and par-
ty co-coordinator Edap-
padi K Palaniswami
(EPS) and his former
deputy CM and coordi-
nator O Panneerseve-
lam (OPS).
In a statement, OPS,
who is the treasurer of
the party said that since
as a coordinator of the
AIADMK he had not
given any approval to
the meeting and in such
a case if the meeting is
convened, it will be in
violation of the rule.Ac-
cordingly, any meeting
must be convened with
the consent of both par-
ties.

Doda (ANI): Doda Po-
lice along with security
forces arrested a terror-
ist and recovered one
Chinese pistol, two mag-
azines, 14 live cartridg-
esandonemobilephone
from his possession.
The terrorist has been
identified as Fareed Ah-
mad, a resident of Koti
Doda, said the police. As
an increased security
measure before the Am-
arnath yatra, a police
party of Doda police sta-
tion laid a Naka on the
outskirts of Doda Town
and intercepted a young
man carrying arms and
ammunition.
After the accused was
taken into custody and
a special team started
an investigation into
the matter it came to the
fore that Ahmad had re-
ceived arms and ammu-
nition from a suspect in
March 2022 and he was
tasked with attacking
police personnel in
Doda. However, the
timely and swift action
of Police foiled this ne-
farious plot. An FIR un-
der relevant sections of
law has been registered
in Police Station Doda.

call to students and
youth to understand
the importance of de-
mocracy and actively partici-
pate in it so that it can be sus-
tained and strengthened is much
needed when there is the fear
that democratic values are being
eroded through misuse of power
by the government and institu-
tions. In the end it boils down to
the kind of democracy the youth
should sustain and strengthen.
With authoritarian democracies
emerging, democracy has ac-
quired a new meaning which is
different from the one contained
in Magna Carta, providing for
individual rights and liberties.
Russia is believed to be a demo-
cratic country but is it?
A Freedom House report said
that democracy is in a crisis
with the deterioration in politi-
cal rights and civil liberties, es-
pecially those of minorities,
globally. The report said that
even the United States “retreat-
ed from its role… as a champion
and exemplar of democracy”.
Indian democracy is also said to
be under threat.

cue with record imports of 34
million barrels of discounted
crude. These alternative buy-

except that for the first time
since 2018 Russia has default-
ed on foreign debt repayment
because the West has blocked
payment routes of its credi-
tors. To Russians who are fac-
ing double-digit inflation and
severe economic contraction,
this may not bother much.
The debt repayment de-
fault is much due to the West
as Russia has enough funds
to repay its debt and service
interest thereon. Western
countries who presumed that
they would be able to arm-
twist Russia with sanctions
must be realizing their poor
estimation of Russia which
continues to pound and gain
territory in Ukraine. West-
ern arms supplies are still
not enough for Ukraine to
take on its mighty neighbour
which is playing coy about
any further involvement.
To top it all, Ukraine’s mem-
bershipof theEuropeanUnion
is yet to come through. Presi-
dent Zelensky applied for the
EU on February 28, 2022 with
the request that it should be

RUSSIA’S DEFAULT
ON DEBT REPAYMENT
Unable to end imports of Russian gas and oil supplies Europe
has, in a way, cushioned Moscow from the blow of sanctions.

U
A LOT OF DRAMA LIES
AHEAD IN MAHARASHTRA
The BJP is winning, and NCP is waiting for Sena’s suicidal step so that it emerges unscathed
F
If the BJP can’t forget the early
morning swearing-in of
Devendra Fadnavis and his
exit in the next few hours, the
Sena would never forgive the
BJP for the present round of
humiliation. The longer the
stalemate continues, both inside
Assembly and out in courts, the
more it would benefit the anti-
Sena forces. Even the BJP may
also want that situation to
linger on – Shinde is
expendable, after all, the real
fight is with the Thackerays.
Then BJP has Raj Thackeray
as well. MNS chief is craving to
hit back at his cousin for his
own insult 17 years ago
or now, the ultimate victor in
Maharashtra politics has
been the BJP. It should be al-
lowed to hold some sort of a
medal for finally defeating
theShivSenaatitsowngame.
After Raj Thackeray’s exit
from the Sena in 2006 – post
two other previous revolts –
and Eknath Shinde’s current
round of chicanery, Shiv
Sena must be shedding copi-
ous tears. As ex-CM Deven-
dra Fadnavis counts the days
of the MVA government, Ud-
dhav Thackeray looks for
some reassuring observa-
tions from SC. The BJP has
attained its first objective of
shaking the foundation of the
three-way ruling alliance of
Shiv Sena, NCP
, and the Con-
gress, without having to show
its hand in the Shiv Sena’s
“intraparty” affairs.
Of the two Hindutva cous-
ins – the BJP and Shiv Sena
– the latter has been more vi-
cious in its tactic. From be-
ing a champion of the ‘son of
the soil’ and Maratha pride,
it successfully graduated to
project itself as the spokes-
person for the Hindus. It re-
mained beholden to Balasa-
heb Thackeray who took full
advantage of the politics of
opportunism of the Congress
and created a ‘larger than
life’ image of himself.
On the contrary, the BJP
has had a one-point agenda:
‘Congress-mukt Bharat’. By
that, it wants to uproot all
that has even shades of Con-
gress in it – good or bad – in
the name of shedding ad-
hocism.Thepartyremainson
the lookout for Shinde’s and
suchlike. It cleverly separates
Congress from those with
only ambition to chase, such
as Hardik Patel. It makes a
case for itself as a product of
victimhood. It has succeeded
because for people, every
shining rhetoric is worth its
weight in gold to be expended
tobuymoreof it.TheBJPhas
plenty of unspent rhetoric,
the Congress has none and
regional parties are too busy
with their own regional aspi-
rations; look at the non-Hindi
political landscape.
Sharad Pawar didn’t go off
the tangent when he learnt of
the Shinde episode for the
first time. He reportedly
asked:“Didn’ttheyhavesome
intel about it?” An aging Pa-
warhashadlimitations–ever
since he left Sonia Gandhi
way back in 1999 to float his
own NCP. For him, BJP was
hardly to blame as much as
Shiv Sena, which has com-
plained several times of NCP
expanding its base at the cost
of Shiv Sena. Therefore, Pa-
war might have removed an
irritant in the MVA dispensa-
tion. Yet, the question is
which Shiv Sena we are talk-
ing about – the new one led by
Shinde or the original care-
taker Uddhav. The NCP objec-
tive right now is to delay the
MVA fall. Given that the Su-
preme Court has come into
the picture and soon the mat-
ter will land up in the high
court, Pawar has ensured the
NCP remains unscathed and
that the entire blame for the
MVA collapse – if it comes to
that – should shift to the Sena.
One fact that has emerged
from a changing India is the
rise of intense competitive
politics, where politicians of
all hues want things done
asap. The positive part of it is
restless voters stay engaged,
but the negative is it gives
rise to vendetta politics.
The current Sena episode
has its roots in the period of
Covid-induced lockdown. It is
fairlywellknownthatthepan-
demic increased the commu-
nication gap between Uddhav
and his MLAs, especially
those with rural background.
The Shiv Sena remained fo-
cused on Mumbai and the
politics of cash-rich Brihan-
mumbai Municipal Corpora-
tion (BMC). Eknath Shinde,
theThanestrongman,wasthe
onetowhomallMLAscongre-
gated.Shindewasalreadyfeel-
ing neglected with the rise of
Aaditya Thackeray and San-
jay Raut. Shinde struck when
his route to Surat and Guwa-
hati became clear as most of
his loyal MLAs from rural ar-
eas were ready to go with him.
We must accept we are past
political correctness and mo-
rality in the relentless battle
for supremacy of political
forces. If the BJP can’t forget
theearlymorningswearing-in
of Devendra Fadnavis and his
exit in the next few hours, the

Sharat Verma
Mumbai: How did for-
mer Maharashtra Chief
Minister Devendra Fad-
navis suddenly become
so powerful that he is
challenging and even
defeating the govern-
ment and seems to be
reaching the chief min-
ister’s chair for the
third time? That per-
haps is the biggest ques-
tion in the current po-
litical clime of the na-
tion. In the Rajya Sabha
elections, he made the
third BJP candidate
win by juggling five to
six votes. After that,
Fadnavis defeated Ma-
havikas Aghadi by chal-
lenging it in the Legisla-
tive Council elections.
He had announced after
the Rajya Sabha elec-
tions that he would give
a bigger blow in the
election of the Legisla-
tive Council and proved
his word as he garnered
20 additional votes to
win the fifth seat in the
Legislative Council.
In this, only three
MLAs of Shiv Sena en-
gaged in cross-voting,
but now more than a
dozen of its MLAs have
turned rebel. Informed
sources say that the re-
bel leaders of Shiv Sena
had told Fadnavis that
they would support him
if he wins the fifth seat
in the Legislative Coun-
cil on his own. Fadnavis
won the fifth seat with-
out the help of the rebel
Shiv Sena MLAs. Apart
from three MLAs each
from Shiv Sena and
Congress, he also added
MLAs of 15 independ-
ents and smaller par-
ties, who were support-
ing the Mahavikas
Aghadi government till
now. It was only after
this that Eknath Shinde
and other MLAs got the
courage to revolt.
So the question is,
who is helping Fadnavis
in this whole campaign?
According to informed
sources, he is getting di-
rect or indirect help
from Sharad Pawar or
Ajit Pawar, because
Maha Vikas Aghadi has
a huge majority in the
state and till some time
ago the entire command
was in the hands of the
ruling coalition. Some
time back Sharad Pa-
war had met Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi. It
was then said that they
had gone to talk about
the action being taken
against their leaders
and the pending names
of the nominated mem-
bers in the Legislative
Council.
But it was only after
that meeting that the
equation started chang-
ing in Maharashtra.
The command has
passed from the hands
of the ruling coalition
to the hands of Fad-
navis. Till some time
back, Fadnavis seemed
isolated even in his own
party but now he has
emerged as the most
powerful leader in Ma-
harashtra. He won an
additional seat each in
both the Rajya Sabha
and the Legislative
Council. First he gave a
blow to Shiv Sena and
then to Congress. Pa-
war’s party NCP did not
suffer in both the elec-
tions and now after the
rebellion within Shiv
Sena, the possibility of
him becoming the Chief
Minister is visible.
Who helped Fadnavis in the ‘political rupture’ in Maharashtra?

“Of course, we sup-

Congress leadership at
the top was not sup-
porting me, which is
why I decided to resign.
There were several
young members in my
team, but we are upset
because the Congress
does not pay attention
to the organisation at

GigworkersinIndiatotop23mnby2029-30:NitiAayog
New Delhi (Agen-
cies): The rapid in-
crease in digitalisa-
tion and the low
entry barriers for
gig and platform
workers will lead to
surge in the num-
ber of such workers
in India to 23.5 mil-
lion by 2029-30 as
against 7.7 million
in 2020-21, NITI
Aayog said in its re-
port on Monday
.
The Aayog, in its
report has urged
the government to
ensure universal
social security cov-
erage to platform
workers while rec-
ommending indus-
try to provide them
with sick leave,
health cover and ac-
cidental insurance
cover as is preva-
lent in other coun-
tries.
“The gig work-
force is expected to
expand to 23.5 mil-
lion workers by
2029-30 as against
7.7 million in 2020-
21. They would
form 6.7% of the
non-agricultural
workforce or 4.1%
of the total liveli-
hood in India by
2029-30,” the Aayog
said, calling the
numbers indicative.
In 2020-21, gig workers
constituted 2.6% of
the non-agricultural
workforce or
1.5% of the
total work-
force in In-
dia. Acc to re-
port, India
with its
d e m o -
g r ap h i c

of half-a-
billion la-
bour force
and the

y o u n g e s t
population,
rapid urbanisation,
widespread adoption
of smartphones and
associated technology
is the new frontier of
the economic revolu-
tion ushered in by its
burgeoning gig work-
force. Pointing out
structural barriers for
women and person
with disabilities in be-
coming an integral
part of India’s work-
force, the report has
suggested access to
institutional credit to
platform workers and
those interested to set-
up their own plat-

‘CIL up to meet its part of coal
supplies to power sector’
CIL chairman said the state-owned firm is braced up to complete its commitment
New Delhi (PTI): As
monsoon has hit many
parts of the country,
Coal India chairman
Pramod Agrawal said
the state-owned firm is
braced up to meet its
part of committed coal
supplies to the power
sector in the coming
months, and stressed
that building up dry
fuel stock timely by
electricity generating
plants will be crucial.
People in many parts
of the country faced
power outages at the
beginning of the sum-
mer season this year
due to the shortage of
coal supplies at various
thermal plants.
“Timely stock build-
up by the power plants
when coal is available
will be crucial. We are
gearing up to meet our
part of committed sup-
plies to power sector in
the ensuing months,”
Agrawal said.
Stating that the com-
pany is targeting to
close the first quarter
with 35 million tonnes
(MTs) incremental pro-
duction compared to
same quarter of last
year, he said that the
company’s output tem-
po is progressing in
this direction.
“We will not spare
any effort in pushing
up the output and off
take,” he added.
Terming the recent
coal shortages as “mis-
nomer”, Agrawal said
that CIL pitheads are
stocked with around 46
MT of coal, whereas
coal stock at power
plants stands at around
24 MT. This apart, a lit-
tle over six MT is lying
at goods sheds, private
washeries, ports and
CIL’s sidings awaiting
transportation to pow-
er plants end.
CIL aims to supply
565 MT to power sector
during FY23 and the
company’s efforts are
oriented to meet this.
FTAs to open new
oppsforexporters
Tiruppur (PTI): The
proposed free trade
agreements (FTAs),
including with the UK,
European Union and
GCC would open new
opportunities to boost
India’s exports in
these markets, FIEO
President A Sakthivel
said here. FIEO also
said the government
initiatives are help-
ing the country re-
cord a healthy growth
rate in exports.
“Ongoing negotia-
tions with the UK,
the EU, GCC, etc will
throw open new op-
portunities for Indi-
an exporters,” Sak-
thivel said.
The GCC was estab-
lished in 1981 and its
six members are the
United Arab Emirates,
Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
Oman, Kuwait and
Bahrain. India is ac-
tively negotiating
FTAs with these coun-
tries and blocs. The
European Union (EU)
team is in New Delhi
to hold negotiations
with Indian officials
on the proposed bilat-
eral trade and invest-
ment agreement.
On June 17, India
and the EU formally
resumed negotiations
on the proposed agree-
ment, after a gap of
over eight years.
Indian banks to
witness surge in
margins:Moody’s
New Delhi (Agen-
cies): Indian banks
might witness growth
in net interest margins
(NIMs) in the current
financial year (FY23),
revealed a report by
Moody’s Investor Ser-
vice on Monday. NIM is
the difference between
the interest income
earned and the interest
paid by a bank to its
interest-earning assets.
The widening of these
margins can be attrib-
uted to recent interest
rate hikes undertaken
by the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) in order to
tame inflation. In addi-
tion to that, higher
policy rates and favora-
ble funding structures
might also contribute
to the larger margins,
the report said.

`toremainunderpressure;maysettleat
around 79-80/$ in near term: Experts
New Delhi (PTI): In-
dia’s rupee is likely to
remain under pressure
due to high prices of
crude oil and other
commodities, and may
stabilise at around 79-
80 against the US dollar
in the near term, say
experts amid limited
headroom available
with the RBI to check
the weakening of the
domestic currency
.
The currency has
slumped over 5% this
year after Russia’s in-
vasion of Ukraine sent
international crude oil
prices soaring to a dec-
ade high. On Monday,
rupee ended at a fresh
all-time low of 78.34
(provisional) against
the US dollar.
Commenting on the
rupee movement,
Ranen Banerjee,
Leader, Economic Ad-
visory Services, PwC
India, said the de-
mand for dollars is go-
ing up owing to In-
dia’s rising value of
imports and FII (For-
eign Institutional In-
vestments) outflows.
“We are likely to see
the exchange rate in
the range of 77.5 to
79.5 depending on the
movement of oil pric-
es and other commod-
ity prices.”
Aditi Nayar, Chief
Economist at ICRA,
said the policy tighten-
ing by the US Federal
Reserve amid the risk
aversion environment
is expected to strength-
en the US dollar, there-
by imparting a depreci-
ating bias to the INR
against the USD.
“...A run-up in crude
oil prices from current
levels poses a risk to
the INR. Amidst the
global headwinds, we
expect the INR to trade
between 77.0-80.0/$in
the remainder of H1
FY2023,” she said.
India saw 9.36 bn

‘Persistentinflation
to impact demand’
current operating en-
vironment remains
highly volatile and
persistent inflation
will likely impact de-
mand across catego-
ries, Tata Consumer

drasekaran said on
Monday. To navigate
through these “short-
term bumps” in this
uncertain environ-
ment, the company
will focus on strong
execution, maintain-
ing agility and nimble-
ness,” he said.
“Geo-Political ten-
sions, supply chain
challenges, and de-
mand-supply mis-
matches in crude and
several other commod-
ities are driving per-
sistent inflation,
which will likely im-
pact demand across
categories.
“In this uncertain
environment, we will
continue to focus on
strong execution,
maintaining agility
and nimbleness to
adapt and navigate
through short-term
bumps; and more im-
portantly to take ad-
vantage of opportuni-
ties that could arise
during this period,”
said Chandrasekaran.
Terming the FY21
as a “very eventful
one”,Chandrasekaran
said challenges posed
by the pandemic and
more recently, geo-po-
litical developments
have resulted in a very
volatile macro-envi-
ronment with a wide-
ranging impact on
people, economies,

“Small businesses
need to improve
their management
skills and make
their technology
base smart. In re-
cent years online
markets have devel-
oped through e-com-
merce which has
had a positive im-
pact on MSMEs.
“MSME can gen-
erate higher profits
through e-com-
merce. It will in-
crease revenue and
margin, extend
reach to new mar-
kets, help them save
marketing expenses
and customers will
get a better experi-
ence,” Verma said.
He said that after
the pandemic wave,
the MSME sector
has been standing
firmly.
“There is develop-
ment happening in
MSME space and it
can be seen across
the country. Main
reason for this is
progressing changes
in our public poli-
cies,” the minister
said. He said that
there were neither
masks nor sanitizers

this we have to adopt
the concept of food and
medicine.
Natural farming is
the only way out. A tar-

the Kumbh Mela in 2025
more majestic and
grand than the one held
in 2019.
UP Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath has di-
rected officials to com-
plete the arrangements

cially in view of the fact
that general elections

T h i r u v a n a n -
thapuram (PTI): Ker-
ala Chief Minister
Pinarayi Vijayan on
Monday alleged that
neither Congress pres-
ident Sonia Gandhi
nor any of the top
leaders of that party
have visited Zakia Jaf-
ri, widow of ex-Con-
gress MP Eshan Jafri
who was killed during
the Gujarat riots, to
announce their sup-
port for her legal bat-
tles seeking justice for
her husband.
Strongly rejecting
the allegations, the
Congress charged Vi-
jayan with telling “bla-
tant lies” on the issue
and claimed that Sonia
Gandhi had visited Za-
kia immediately after
the 2002 riots.
The CM made the
claim at a press confer-
ence to slam the oppo-
sition for disrupting
the Assembly proceed-
ings which began here
on Monday over the at-
tack on Congress lead-
er and Wayanad MP
Rahul Gandhi’s office
in Kalpetta last week.

tivist Teesta Setalvad
by the Crime Branch
wing of the Gujarat
police for allegedly
conspiring to falsely
implicate innocent
persons in the 2002
riot case, Vijayan al-
leged that when Sonia
Gandhi visited Guja-
rat after the riots.

Ahmedabad (PTI): The
RSS-affiliated Samskri-

that the Gujarat govern-

“Our suggestion to

Seoul (AP): A top
South Korean official
said on Monday that
North Korea is increas-
ingly targeting the
South with its nuclear
arms programme, and
urgedChinaandRussia
to persuade the North
not to conduct a widely
expected nuclear test.
Unification Minister
Kwon Youngse’s com-
ments came after North
Korean leader Kim
Jong Un re-emphasised
his nuclear ambitions
in a key military meet-
ing last week and ap-
proved unspecified new
operational duties for
front-line army units.
Experts say North
Korea could be plan-
ning to deploy battle-
field nuclear weapons
along its tense border
with South Korea. Dur-
ing a prolonged stale-
mate in nuclear diplo-
macy, North Korea has
spent much of the past
three years expanding
its arsenal of short-
range solid-fuel mis-
silesthatarepotentially
capable of evading mis-
sile defences and strik-
ing targets throughout
South Korea, including
US bases there.
US and South Kore-
an officials say that
North Korea has all but
finished preparations
for its first nuclear test
since September 2017,
when it claimed to have
detonated a thermonu-
clearwarheaddesigned
for intercontinental
ballistic missiles.
North Korea may
use its next nuclear
test to claim that it has
acquired the ability to
build small nuclear
warheads that can be
placed on short-range
missiles or other new
weapons systems it has
demonstrated in recent
months, analysts say
.
Kwon, who oversees
South Korea’s relations
with North Korea, said
at a news conference

ing a favourable envi-
ronment to push ahead

ment and overturn the
regional status quo as

JK administration
is also augmenting the
efforts of the Shrine

board is making ar-
rangements for the pil-
grims intending to un-
dertake the pilgrimage,
it has also made a provi-
sion of online darshan
for those who cannot
physically undertake
the yatra. “For the devo-
tees who can not come
for the Yatra, they can
avail facility of online
darshan, pooja, havan
and prasad,” an official
of the SASB said.

expressed hope that Beijing and Moscow
will react differently to a North Korean
nuclear test since both have maintained
public support for a denuclearised Korean
Peninsula.If North Korea goes ahead with a
nuclear test at a time when the global secu-
rity situation is as instable as it is now, the
country will face enormous criticism
from international society,
and the response will
be more than just
words, Kwon
said.

RUSSIA ‘POURING FIRE’ ON UKRAINIAN
CITY AS OFFENSIVE MOUNTS: OFFICIALS
Sloviansk (AP): Rus-
sia was mounting an
all-out assault on the
last Ukrainian strong-
hold in the eastern Lu-
hansk region, pouring
fire” on the city of Lysy-
chansk from the ground
and air, the local gover-
nor said on Monday, as
Western leaders met to
discuss ways of bolster-
ing support for Kyiv.
Luhansk Governor
Serhiy Haidai said Rus-
sian forces were pum-
meling Lysychansk af-
ter capturing the neigh-
boring city of Sieviero-
donetsk in recent days.
It’s part of a stepped-up
Russian offensive to
wrest the broader Don-
bas region from Ukrain-
ian government control
in what Western ex-
perts say has become
the new main goal of
President Vladimir Pu-
tin’s war in Ukraine,
now in its fifth month.
They’re pouring fire
on the city both from
the air and from the
ground. After the takeo-
ver of Sievierodonetsk,
the enemy army has
concentrated all its
forces on capturing
(our) last stronghold in
the Luhansk region:
Lysychansk, Haidai
told The Associated
Press. The Russians

the city from the south.
NATO to increase size of
its rapid reaction forces
Brussels (AP): NATO
secretary general Jens
Stoltenberg said on
Monday that the mili-
tary alliance will in-
crease the size of its
rapid reaction forces
nearly eightfold to
300,000 troops as part of
its response to an era of
strategic competition.”
The NATO response
force currently has
about 40,000 soldiers
which can deploy
quickly when needed.
Coupled with other
measures including the
deployment of forces to
defend specific allies,
Stoltenberg said the
move is part of the big-
gest overhaul of collec-
tive defense and deter-
rence since the Cold
War.”
Stoltenberg made the
remarks at a press con-
ference ahead of a
NATO summit later
this week in Madrid
when the 30 allies are
expected to also agree
on further support to
Ukraine in its war
against Russia.
Stoltenberg said he
expects allies to make
clear they consider Rus-
sia as the most signifi-
cant and direct threat to
our security
.”
In NATO’s new stra-
tegic concept, the alli-
ance is also expected to
address for the first
time the security chal-
lenges posed by China,
Stoltenberg said. In Ma-
drid, allies will discuss
how to respond to the
growing influence of
Russia and China in
their southern neigh-
borhood,” he added.
Stoltenberg said al-
lies will agree to deliver
further military sup-
port to Ukraine when
they convene in Spain,
with NATO members
set to adopt a strength-
ened comprehensive as-
sistance package, in-
cluding deliveries of
secure communication
and anti-drone systems.
Afghanistan quake:Kids’
death toll rises to 155
Gayan (AP): The death
toll of children in last
week’s devastating
earthquake in south-
eastern Afghanistan
has risen to at least 155,
the United Nations said
as the scope of the dead-
liest quake to hit the im-
poverished country in
two decades comes into
focus.
The UN’s humanitar-
ian coordination organ-
ization, OCHA, said that
another 250 children
were injured in the mag-
nitude 6 temblor that
struck the mountainous
villages in the Paktika
and Khost provinces
near the country’s bor-
der with Pakistan, flat-
tening homes and trig-
gering landslides.
Most of the children
died in Paktika’s hard-
hit Gayan district,
which remains a scene
of life in ruins, days
after the disaster. The
quake has also left an
estimated 65 children
orphaned or unaccom-
panied, the U.N. hu-
manitarian office add-
ed. Even as badly need-
ed food, medicine and
other international aid
has trickled into the
provinces on precarious
dirt roads, despair is
growing among newly
homeless survivors.
Many villagers who
were scraping by have
lost everything.
In ravaged Gayan, vil-
lagers are grappling
with the extent of the
tragedy
.

last week demolished
his house and those
around it, Abdullah

she stepped out of a

look was completed
with white sneakers and light makeup.
According to the sources, the actor was
asked if it was a conscious decision to in-
clinetowardsSouthmorethanBollywood,
to which she replied, “I think for me, I al-
ways try to choose the best from the work
given to me and Baahubali is the best deci-
sion out of all. There is no full-fledged way
of functioning, but it is an instinct that
takes you in the right or wrong directions.
However, you can only rely upon your in-
stinct and have to trust that. There are
going to be times when it will work out,
and at times it won’t. I didn’t consciously
choose South films over Hindi but I chose
project-wise. I never looked
at any project as South
or North Indian.”

rjun Kapoor and Malaika
Arora are one of the cutest
couples in Bollywood. These
two never fail in giving a cou-
ple of goals. The couple is
currently in Europe celebrat-
ing Arjun’s birthday and
fans cannot stop looking at the pic-
tures that they are posting from the
trip. It is Arjun’s birthday and these
lovebirds are having a gala time in
Parias today.
Yet another picture of the two has
surfaced on social media and it is too
cute to handle.
In the picture, we can see Arjun
Kapoor dressed in a white shirt that
he paired with black pants and black
boots.
The actor looks dapper in black
sunglasses and long hair and a full-
grown beard. He stands beside his GF
Malaika Arora who looks stunning.
She is wearing a white crop shirt that
is wearing over a black bralette and
has paired it with grey palazzo pants.
Malaika has completed her look with
light blue shoes.
A
More comedy
movies
K
iara Advani is on fire when it
comes to her professional front
as she has had back-to-back
hits. The actress who is cur-
rently basking in the success of her
recently released movie Bhool
Bhulaiyaa 2 and JugJugg Jeeyo
has given yet another hit film
Shershaah alongside Sidharth
Malhotra. According to the
sources, the actress opened
up about wanting to do more
comedy films.
When she was asked how
her comic timings evolved as
an actor over time? Kiara Ad-
vani revealed, “Comedy is
one of the most difficult gen-
res and I think the first that
I did comedy in was Good
Newwz. And I feel it’s the
one film that I have done
the most comedy in. In
the recent past, we have
not had any out-and-out
comedy for a female
protagonist. It is al-
ways put on a male so
I really hope that
writers write better
for a female pro-
tagonist to
do more
c o m e -
dy”.
I
t was last year in October when Sa-
mantha Ruth Prabhu announced her
separation from Naga Chaitanya.
The Yashoda actress took a lot of
time to normalize after ending 4
years of marriage. She even made
several spiritual trips with her

Over the last couple of days, the
news of her ex-husband Naga
Chaitanya dating the Made in
