INSIDE STORY
NCB NABS 8, SEIZES
35 KG HEROIN IN
PAN-INDIA ACTION
New Delhi (PTI): The NCB
on Saturday claimed to
have unearthed a “major”
pan-India heroin trafficking
network with the arrest of
eight people and seizure of
35 kg of narcotics. The op-
eration began on May 24
after the federal anti-drug
agency first intercepted
two women passengers
who landed in Bengaluru
from Zimbabwe and about
7 kg of heroin was seized
from them. Their question-
ing led NCB officials to
various other links — a
Nigerian national identified
as the “kingpin” of the net-
work and other operatives
staying in Delhi and Itarsi
in Madhya Pradesh. P5

Rajkot: PM Narendra
Modi on Saturday said
he has spared no effort
while serving the coun-
try in the last eight
years, and not done any
such work that would
make people hang their
heads in shame. Modi
was addressing a gath-

ing a 200-bed multi-spe-

town in Gujarat’s Ra-
jkot district.
“I have spared no ef-
fort in my service to
the nation in the last
eight years. I have nei-
ther allowed, nor per-
sonally done any such
work that will make
you or even a single
person of India hang
head in shame. In the
last eight years, we
have made honest at-
tempts to build the
kind of India that Ma-
hatma Gandhi and
Sardar Patel dreamt
about,” he said.
We served the coun-
try’s poor through vari-
ous pro-poor schemes
and tried to make their
lives better,” he said.

for‘unsatisfactory
handling’ of
special-needs kid
New Delhi: The Direc-

Aviation (DGCA) on
Saturday imposed a fine
of Rs 5 lakh on IndiGo

flight as he was “visibly
in panic”. As the boy
was prohibited from
boarding, his parents –

ing him – also decided
not to enter the plane.
Soon after a video of

pany. However, the
DGCA did not find the
response of the airline
company to be satisfac-
tory, and decided to pe-
nalise it.

New water treatment
plant to come up at
Chandrawal next year
New Delhi (Agen-
cies): A new water
treatment plant is
set to come up at
Chandrawal by April
2023, according to
Water Minister Saty-
endar Jain.
The plant will have
a capacity of 105
MGD (million gallons
per day), and is being
set up at a cost of Rs
600 crore. The new
plant is likely to be
abletotreatammonia
levels of up to 4 ppm
(parts per million) in
the water. The Delhi
Jal Board’s existing
water treatment
plants can treat am-
monia up to a level of
around 1 ppm, while
the BIS standard for
ammonia in drinking
wateris0.5ppm.High
levels of ammonia in
the Yamuna have in
the past disrupted the
water supply
.
Two water treat-
ment plants are cur-
rently operational at
Chandrawal, one of 35
MGD and another of
55 MGD, supplying a
total of 90 MGD of wa-
ter. While the 55 MGD
plant is also being re-
developed, a total of
160 MGD of water will
be produced at Chan-
drawal once the new
plant is ready. Work
on the plant was inter-
rupted for some time
during the pandemic,
Jain said, according
to a communication
from the DJB. A ‘cen-
tral water manage-
ment centre’ is likely
to be included in the
new plant at Chan-
drawal to monitor wa-
ter supply, distribu-
tion, and pressure,
according to the DJB.
New Delhi (PTI): An
artificial intelligence-
driven smartphone app
has been launched by
AIIMS-Delhi along with
Nurithm labs, a start-
up, to address the ac-
cess and accuracy prob-
lems in clinical diagno-
sis of dermatological
diseases, including skin
and oral cancers.
DermaAId, the skin
disease diagnostic solu-
tion, uses a machine-
learning AI-driven algo-
rithm encapsulated in a
mobile app and trans-
forms a basic smart-
phone with a 1 MP cam-
era into a potent tool in
skincare, Dr Somesh
Gupta, a Professor in
the Department of Der-
matology and Venereol-
ogy at AIIMS, told PTI.
For general practi-
tioners, it is a clinical
decision support tool to
augment their capabil-
ity and understanding
of skin conditions.
This is particularly
relevant since studies
have revealed that diag-
nostic accuracy among
general practitioners
vis-à-vis dermatologists
is 40 to 50 per cent, Dr
Gupta pointed out.
“The technology be-
hind the app is decep-
tively simple. A doctor
takes a photo of lesions
on a patient’s body and
uploads them to the
cloud server. Within 15-
30 seconds, the app pro-
vides possible disease
conditions based on ma-
chine analysis of im-
ages,” he explained.

INDIA

Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: The recent
development of senior
Congress leader Kapil
Sibal leaving the grand
old party and going to
RS on SP’s ticket speaks
volumes about Sibal the
politician. Just imagine,
at this time when a doz-
enveteranleadersof the
Congress party are rub-
bing their heels for a
seat in RS, Kapil Sibal
had offers from three
parties. In three differ-
ent states, three differ-
entpartieshadproposed
to send Sibal to the RS.
But Sibal gave a chance
to the Samajwadi Party
.
He will go to the Rajya
Sabha as a candidate of
SP and with that his ties
with the Congress have
also ended.
Anyway, this time Con-
gress was not sending
him from any state to
the Upper House. Keep
in mind that Congress
has only two MLAs in
Uttar Pradesh this time.
Last time Congress had
27 MLAs, so SP
had sup-
ported his
candida-
ture as a
Congress candidate.
This time SP is away
from Congress and Con-
gress has only two
MLAs,henceSibalcould
not go to Rajya Sabha as
congress candidate.
Therefore, he left the
Congresspartyandrode
on the SP’s cycle.
The Samajwadi Party
also saw the advantage
in making him its Rajya
Sabha MP. By the way,
Jharkhand Mukti Mor-
cha leader Jharkhand
CM Hemant Soren and
RJD chief Lalu Prasad
could also visualise the
‘benefit’of fieldingSibal
to Rajya Sabha, but
Sibal gave a chance to
the SP. He did not con-
sider it necessary to
change the state this
time. Significantly,
Azam Khan, who was
recently released from
jail, had put pressure
on Akhilesh Yadav to
send Kapil Sibal to RS as
Sibal had helped him a
lot in the Supreme
Court. Akhilesh also ac-
ceptedAzamKhan’srec-
ommendation because
he saw two benefits in it.
Firstly, a big face and
strong lawyer will be
with him in Delhi and
secondly Azam Khan’s
displeasure will be re-
moved. In any cse,
Sibal’s RS seat was en-
sured. Now it has to be
seen what happens to
Ghulam Nabi Azad and
Anand Sharma, who
questionedtheCongress
leadership with Sibal?

CHANCELLORSHIP
here’s no need for a
vice-chancellor of
any university to be
an illustrious acade-
mician. Political af-
filiation and proximity to power
are of greater importance than
excellence in academic fields.
Governments want vice-chancel-
lors of their choice to have a hold
on campuses to propagate ideol-
ogy
.Thisleadstofrictionbetween
a government and the governor
who is the Chancellor of state
universities. Last year there was
a row between the Kerala Gover-
nor Arif Mohammed Khan and
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan
over the appointment of a VC.
Vijayan later assured the gover-
northathispowersasChancellor
won’t be curtailed.
A similar row is in the mak-
ing in West Bengal where Chief
Minister Mamata Banerjee is
planning to replace Governor
Jagdeep Dhankhar, who has
been raising questions about
VCs, as Chancellor. The West
Bengal Cabinet unanimously
decided to move a Bill in the As-

passed, the Bill will have to be
approved by the Governor who
may not oblige.
T
ujarat elections
are to be held in
December 2022
but Prime Minis-
ter Narendra
Modi and Union Home Minis-
ter Amit Shah have reached
their home state to prepare
the ground for their party’s
success. Not that they have
too much to fret about by way
of opposition--- Congress is in
a disarray and the Aam Aad-
mi Party is pushing to find a
foothold. The Congress re-
cently lost Hardik Patel, a
Patidar leader, due to the non-
seriousness of its top rung
leaders. Hardik Patel has so
far not opened his cards about
which party he will join but
he is expected to switch over
to the Bharatiya Janata Party
.
Hardik Patel’s leaving Con-
gress could mean a sizeable
dent in Patidar’s support for
the party although it is said to
be in touch with another
PatidarleaderNareshPatidar.
In contrast Modi, who was in
Gujarat on Saturday
, is going
all out to win over the Patidar
community which voted
against the BJP in 2017. The
BJP may even have a Patidar
chief minister. It is trying to
ensure that the Patidars do
not feel alienated. The prime
minister on Saturday inaugu-
rated a hospital run by a
Patidar Charitable Trust. In
April, the prime minister had
inaugurated another hospital
belonging to the Patidar com-
munity and also addressed
the Gujarat Patidar Business
Summit 2022.
Modi and Amit Shah are
personally focusing on the
Patidar community who con-
stitute over 12 percent of the
state’s six crore population.
In some constituencies their
percentage is especially high.
No party
, barring perhaps the
Congress, can take Patidars
lightly in an election year.

BAPU’S LETTER TO NEHRU
ON OCTOBER 5, 1945
October 5, 1945
My dear Jawaharlal,
have been desirous of writing to you
for many days but have not been able
to do so before today. The question of
whether I should write to you in English
or Hindustani was also in my mind. I
have at length preferred to write to you
in Hindustani.
The first thing I want to write about is
the difference of outlook between us. If the difference
is fundamental then I feel the public should also be
made aware of it. It would be detrimental to our work
for Swaraj to keep them in the dark. I have said that
I still stand by the system of Government envisaged
in Hind Swaraj. These are not mere words. All the
experience gained by me since 1908 when I wrote
the booklet has confirmed the truth of my belief.
Therefore if I am left alone in it I shall not mind, for
I can only bear witness to the truth as I see it. I have
not Hind Swaraj before me as I write. It is really better
for me to draw the picture anew in my own words.
And whether it is the same as I drew in Hind Swaraj
or not is immaterial for both you and me. It is not
necessary to prove the rightness of what I said then.
It is essential only to know what I feel today. I am
convinced that if India is to attain true freedom and
through India the world also, then sooner or later
the fact must be recognised that people will have to
live in villages, not in towns, in huts, not in palaces.
Crores of people will never be able to live at peace
with each other in towns and palaces. They will then
have no recourse but to resort to both violence and
untruth. I hold that without truth and non-violence
there can be nothing but destruction for humanity.
We can realise truth and non-violence only in the
simplicity of village life and this simplicity can best
be found in the Charkha and all that the Charkha con-
notes. I must not fear if the world today is going the
wrong way. It may be that India too will go that way
and like the proverbial moth burn itself eventually in
the flame round which it dances more and more furi-
ously. But it is my bounden duty to my last breath to
try to protect India and through India the entire world
from such a doom. The essence of what I have said
is that man should rest content with what are his real
needs and become self-sufficient. If he does not have
this control he cannot save himself. After all the world
is made up of individuals just as it is the drops that
constitute the ocean. I have said nothing new. This is
a well known truth.
But I do not think I have stated this in Hind Swaraj.
While I admire modern science, I find that it is the old
looked at in the true light of modern science which
should be reclothed and refashioned aright. You must
not imagine that I am envisaging our village life as it
is today. The village of my dreams is still in my mind.
After all every man lives in the world of his dreams.
My ideal village will contain intelligent human beings.
They will not live in dirt and darkness as animals.
Men and women will be free and able to hold their
won against anyone in the world. There will be neither
plague, nor cholera nor smallpox; no one will ideal,
no one will wallow in luxury. Everyone will have to
contribute his quota of manual labour. I do not want
to draw a large-scale picture in detail. It is possible to
envisage railways, post and telegraph offices etc. For
me it is material to obtain the real article and the rest
will fit into the picture afterwards. If I let go the real
thing, all else goes.
On the last day of the Working Committee it was
decided that the matter should be fully discussed
and the position clarified after a two or three session.
I should like this. But whether the Working Com-
mittee sits or not I want our position vis-a-vis each
other to be clearly understood by us for two reasons.
Firstly, the bond that unites us is not only political
work. It is immeasurably deeper and quite unbreak-
able. Therefore it is that I earnestly desire that in the
political field also we should understand each other
clearly. Secondly, neither of us thinks himself useless.
We both live for the cause of India’s freedom and we
would both gladly die for it. We are not in need of
the world’s praise. Whether we get praise or blame
is immaterial to us. There is no room for praise in
service. I want to live 125 for the service of India but I
must admit that I am now an old man. You are much
younger in comparison and I have therefore named
you as my heir. I must, however, understand my heir
and my heir should understand me. Then alone shall
I be content.
Blessings from

New Delhi: The Con-

nounced a padyatra
from October 2. On
other hand, election
strategist Prashant

nounced a padyatra
in Bihar from Octo-
ber 2. The padyatra
was first announced
by PK, followed by
Congress PK has
started preparing for
his journey
.
He has a big team,
which is talking to
people of state and
deciding on route of
padyatra. Further-
more, the agenda of
the interest of the
common people is
also being identified.
He has decided that
he will meet and talk
to people active in so-
cial work in Bihar
before the padyatra.
He is connecting civil
society with himself
and contacting peo-
ple of Bihar who
have made a name for
their achievements.
Congress is also
working on exactly
same formula. Con-
gress party has also
decided that it will
contact the people of
civil society and will
take them along in its
‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
Some social workers
are being contacted
by Congress.
Congress party is
also contacting some
well-known people
opposing the policies
of BJP. Apart from
this, Congress will
also contact smaller
political parties and
especially such re-
gional parties, whose
base is in a very small
area in a state. In-
stead of big parties,
Congress wants to
give a big shape to its
India journey by in-
volving small parties
and NGOs working in
a particular area.

Radical changes proposed in
new IA,Navy,IAF system
New Delhi (PTI): Some
radical changes have
been proposed in the
new system of recruit-
ment in the three ser-
vices — Army, Navy
and the Air Force — un-
der the Tour of Duty/
Agneepath scheme
wherein 100 per cent of
the soldiers recruited
shall be released from
service after four years
and then 25 per cent re-
enlisted for full service.
Highly placed sources
haveinformedthatthere
has been much discus-
sion over the final for-
mat of the Tour of Duty
and that some new sug-
gestions have been pro-
posed and are likely to
be accepted as the an-
nouncement of the new
recruitment scheme is
expected any day now.
Sources say there
would be some excep-
tions made for certain
trades of soldiers in the
three services wherein
these may be retained
beyond the four year
contractual service be-
cause of the technical
nature of their job.

MORE RUSSIAN OIL IS HEADING
TOWARDS INDIA AND CHINA
Singapore (Agen-
cies): A record volume
of Russian oil is on
board tankers, with
u n p r e c e d e n t e d
amounts heading to In-
dia and China as other
nations restrict im-
ports because of the
war in Ukraine.
Between 74 million
and 79 million barrels
from the OPEC+ pro-
ducer were in transit
and floating storage
over the past week,
more than double the 27
million barrels just be-
fore the February inva-
sion of Ukraine, ac-
cording to Kpler. Asia
overtook Europe as the
largest buyer for the
first time last month,
and that gap is set to
widen in May, accord-
ing to the data and ana-
lytics company
.
The sharp jump in
Russian oil in transit by
sea underscores how
the global energy trade
has been thrown into
turmoil by the invasion,
with US, UK and many
EU companies turning
their backs on its car-
goes and forcing Mos-
cow to look for buyers in
Asia. China and India
have snapped up mil-
lions of barrels from
the country to take ad-
vantage of hefty dis-
counts on the flows.
“Some of the inter-
ested buyers in Asia are
more motivated by eco-
nomics rather than tak-
ing a political stand,”
said Jane Xie, a senior
oil analyst at Kpler in
Singapore. “That said,
there has been an in-
crease in US interest in
India’s buying of Rus-
sian oil, so there may be
some downside risks to
this trade flow, even if it
is currently unlikely to
be dented significantly
.”
Combined Russian
oil flows for Asia’s top
two buyers, India and
China, surged to re-
cords in April, mainly
boosted by increased
purchases from India,
according to Xie.

This plant in Jais-

need for green energy,”
said Vneet S Jaain, MD
CEO, Adani Green
Energy Ltd.
“The commissioning

an incremental step to-
wards meeting India’s
sustainable energy
goals. We are extremely
proud of the unrelent-

put in to deliver India’s
first wind-solar hybrid
plant. This project is a

USD 4.23 billion to USD
597.509 billion for the
week ended May 20, the
Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) data showed.
This is the first in-
crease in India’s forex
reserves in the past 11
weeks. The forex re-
serves had declined by
USD 2.676 billion in the
week ended May 13.
India’s forex reserves
have fallen sharply af-
ter touching an all-time
high of USD 642.453 bil-
lion on September 3,
2021.
According to the Re-
serve Bank of India’s
weekly statistical sup-
plement, all the compo-
nents of the forex re-
serves rose during
the week ended May 20
led by a sharp jump in
the foreign currency as-

India’s foreign cur-
rency assets, which are
the biggest component
of the forex reserves,
rose by USD 3.825 bil-
lion to USD 533.378 bil-
lion during the week

Some NBFCs pose
‘potential threat’ to
stability, says RBI
Mumbai (Agen-
cies): The Reserve
Bank of India (RBI)
has red-flagged non-
banking financial
companies (NBFCs)
in its annual report,
observing that bal-
ance sheets of shad-
ow banks expanded
even as the asset
quality deteriorat-
ed. Moreover, the
regulator said some
of these entities
posepotentialthreat
to financial stability
as their size in-
creased due to high-
er risk appetite.
“The balance
sheet of NBFCs ex-
panded in 2021-22 but
asset quality in the
sector deteriorated.
Nevertheless, capital
cushions showed an
improvement,” the
annual report said.
The report said
the contribution
of NBFCs towards
supporting real eco-
nomic activity and
acting as a supple-
mental channel of
credit intermedia-
tion alongside banks
is well recognised.
“Higher risk appe-
tite of the NBF-
Cs has, however, con-
tributed over time to
their size, complexi-
ty, and interconnect-
edness, thereby mak-
ing some of the enti-
ties systemically
significant that pose
potential threat to
financial stability,”
the report said.
The central bank’s
annual report fur-
ther said that shad-
ow banks as well as
cooperative banks
will have to be mind-
ful of frailties, wher-
ever they exist, in
their balance sheets
and ensure robust
asset-liability man-
agement, apart from
improving the qual-
ity of their credit
portfolios. “Consid-
ering the significant
share of funding ab-
sorbed by NBFCs at
the system level, con-
tinued attention to
their financial
health is warranted
from the viewpoint
of financial stabili-
ty,” the report said.

providing the most af-

people from abroad,
especially the neigh-

the hospitals in the
country to avail the
health care services.
He also said that In-

“India has the

especially in Delhi,
people from neigh-

said after inaugurat-
ing ‘Arogya Manthan’,
a conference on the
topic ‘One Nation, One

ised by RSS-backed
Arogya Bharati here.
Referring to the cor-
onavirus pandemic,
Kovind said a disease
started plaguing the
humanity two-and-a-
half years back. “Only
one or two per cent
people remained unaf-
fected by it,” he said.
He praised the coun-

developing a vaccine
against COVID-19 that
saved the lives of peo-

He said that during

praised India for pro-

This comes a day after
Chief Minister Pushkar

the purpose. Notably,
UCC was promised
by the BJP in the

to ANI, the former CM
said, “This is an impor-

which has erupted that
the implementation of
UCC will hurt religious
sentiments or scrap any-
body’s rights will not
happen. The UCC will
not scrap anybody’s
rights. India is a country
where people

t o g e t h e r
and every

c u r i t y. ”
Lay-
ing down the benefits of
the legislation for the

UCCwouldputtheforced
religious conversions to

mony among people.
“Withtheimplementa-
tion of UCC, social har-
mony would increase.
Every person would be
governed by one law. No-
body would hurt oth-

forced religious con-
versions would suffer
a huge blow with the
implementation of

Rawat ar-
gued that the laws
should be the same for
everyone if the same fa-

society.
“When there are simi-

.
Goa,Telangana,Anda-

Dadra and Nagar Haveli

ducherry and Haryana
have already achieved
100% household connec-
tions. Punjab, Gujarat,
Himachal Pradesh and
Bihar have coverage of
more than 90% and are
progressing fast towards
attaining the status of
“Har Ghar Jal”, said the
Ministry
. In a move to at-
tain “Gram Swarajya”,
Jal Jeevan Mission aims
toempowerthePanchay-
ati Raj Institutions and
communities by engag-
ing them in water supply
schemes from the very
beginning. Over 9.59
crore rural households
across States/UTs are
getting water.
“Har Ghar Jal” is a
flagship programme of
the Centre, implement-
edbyJalJeevanMission
(JJM) under the Minis-
tryof JalShakti,inpart-
nership with States/
UTs to ensure tap water
connection in every ru-
ral household by 2024.
The Ministry said at
thetimeof JJM’slaunch
in 2019, only 17% of the
rural population had ac-
cess to drinking water
through taps. The bur-
den of arrangement of
water for daily house-
hold needs mostly fell on
women and young girls.
There is sufficient evi-
dence to suggest that
schoolattendanceamong
girls was significantly
lower in summers when
duetoincreasedrequire-
mentsforwater,multiple

Russia takes small cities, aims
to widen east Ukraine battle
K r a m a t o r s k
(Ukraine) (AP): Russia
asserted on Saturday
that its troops and sepa-
ratist fighters had cap-
tured a key railway
junction in eastern
Ukraine, the second
small city to fall to Mos-
cow’s forces this week
as they fought to seize
all of the country’s con-
tested Donbas region.
Russian Defence
Ministry spokesman
Igor Konashenkov said
the city of Lyman had
been completely liber-
ated by a joint force of
Russian soldiers and
the Kremlin-backed
separatists, who have
waged war in the east-
ern region bordering
Russia for eight years.
Lyman, which had a
population of about
20,000 before Russia in-
vaded Ukraine on Feb-
ruary 24, serves as a
regional railway hub.
Ukraine’s train system
has ferried arms and
evacuated citizens dur-
ing the war, and it
wasn’t immediately
clear how the develop-
ment might affect ei-
ther capability
.
Controlling the city
would give the Russian
military a foothold for
advancing on larger
Ukrainian-held cities
in Donetsk and Lu-
hansk, the two prov-
inces that make up the
Donbas. Since failing to
occupy Kyiv, Ukraine’s
capital, Russia has con-
centrated on seizing
the last parts of the re-
gion not controlled by
the separatists.
Two criminals

encounters in
Ghaziabad
First India Bureau
Ghaziabad: Two dread-
ed criminals wanted in
dozens of cases lodged
across the NCR region
were killed in separate
encounters in the early
hours on Saturday, po-
lice said.
Senior Superinten-
dent of Police Muniraj
G said, “Avneesh, alias
Billoo Dujana, was sur-
rounded by a police
team in the In-
dirapuram police sta-
tion area around 4 am.
The accused was on a
bike and opened fire on
seeing the police team.
He was injured in re-
taliatory firing.”
Avneesh, who carried
an award of Rs 1 Lakh
on his head, succumbed
to his injuries at the
hospital.
A police constable,
Sandeep, also got in-
jured in the crossfire
while SP (Crime) Deek-
sha Sharma and two
other officials had a
narrow escape.
The trio had bullets
hit their bullet-proof
jackets, according to po-
lice. They escaped un-
hurt. Over 27 criminal
cases, including that of
murder and extortion,
had been lodged against
Dujana.
Hardly an hour later,
two bike-borne crimi-
nals opened fire at a po-
lice team near a police
check post under the

RUSSIAN BILL RAISES ARMY’S AGE LIMITS
HAS RAHUL’S
CORONATION BEEN
POSTPONED
AGAIN?
Where it was decid-
ed that in August
2022, Rahul Gandhi
would take over the
reins of the Congress
party and the loyalists
of the Gandhi family
had made elaborate ar-
rangements as to how,
following the conven-
tion of the party’s con-
stitutional beliefs, Ra-
hul would be elected
unopposed as the par-
ty’s president and Sonia
Gandhi has already
started ‘adjusting’ the
rebel voices of protest at
various forums of the
party
. But the results of
the opinion polls con-
ducted by an agency for
the party regarding the
assembly elections
in Gujarat and
Himachal have
shaken the in-
tentions of
the Gandhi
family
. In the
preliminary
trends of this
o p i n i o n
p o l l ,
Congress seems to be
lagging behind in these
two states. Sources re-
veal that Sonia Gandhi
has first taken cogni-
zance of this and she
does not want Rahul to
take over the reins of
the party in August and
be blamed for the defeat
of the elections in De-
cember. So Sonia has
urged that Rahul takes
over the reins of the
party before the Karna-
takaelections.InKarna-
taka, the party expects
to perform better than
the BJP, so the credit
can be given to Rahul’s
‘enthusiastic leader-
ship’.Ontheotherhand,
there is Priyanka Gan-
dhi, whose thinking is
that in the December as-
sembly elections, from
all the posters to the
pamphlets, Rahul
will be at the cen-
tre of Con-
gress’s think-
ing, policies
and rallies, so
whether Rahul
is the president
of the party or
not, no matter
what, he will have
to take the responsi-
bility of victo-
ry or defeat, and there-
fore why not accept this
challenge by becoming
the president. Priyanka
has also insisted on the
party forum that Con-
gress should not post-
pone the presidential
elections, and now the
final call on this is to be
taken by Rahul.
BJP CAN CHANGE
ITS THREE CMS!
Thesaffronparty
,rid-
ing on the storm of
victory, have still not
lost its focus and vision
even in this charged and
upbeat festive atmos-
phere. Keeping the up-
coming general elec-
tions of 2024 at the cen-
tre, the round of intense
discussion in the BJP is
going on from
now on. If re-
liable sourc-
es are to be
believed,
s e v e r a l
rounds of
meetings
of the top
leadership
of the
par-
ty have been held in the
last few days. PM Modi,
Home Minister Amit
Shah, Party President
JPNaddaandOrganiza-
tion General Secretary
BL Santosh took part in
these high profile meet-
ings. It has been decided
in this meeting that ‘de-
cision will be taken
about the future of BJP
ruled Chief Ministers,
keeping in view the re-
port card’. Although no
official disclosure has
been made about this,
but sources tell that this
sword of the high com-
mand is hanging on the
Chief Ministersof Mad-
hya Pradesh, Himachal
and Karnataka but Har-
yana Chief Minister
Manohar Lal Khattar
may once again get
bail. The BJP
leadership is
being stress-
ing that
such CMs
should be
made who
can get victory in the
elections on their own.
Sources reveal that in
this high profile meet-
ing there was also a seri-
ous review of the elec-
toral defeat of Uttara-
khand CM Pushkar
Singh Dhami and Kes-
hav Prasad Maurya and
it was concluded that
Dhami had little time to
prove himself, whereas
Maurya had got five full
years as Deputy Chief
Minister, yet he lost the
election. The ‘Modi
magic’ may have
brought the BJP back in
UP and Uttarakhand,
but the party’s seats
have come down from
previous numbers.
WILL THE
CHAUTALA
FAMILY BE
UNITED?
It was al-
most a
week before
the sentence
of former
Hary-
ana Chief Minister Om
Prakash Chautala was
pronounced in the dis-
proportionate assets
case that Chautala
called his entire family
and told them that ‘if
they really want to
fight the Congress-BJP
in their home state,
then the family will
have to unite.’ He wants
to see his family united
further and he thinks
that everyone should
fight together on
Chaudhary Devi Lal’s
party and his election
symbol. Sources reveal
that Chautala had also
called his younger
brother and State Pow-
er and Jail Minister
Ranjit Singh Chau-
tala to attend
this meeting,
but he did not come.
Whereas it is said that
he had won this elec-
tion as an independent
only after negotiating
with Om Prakash
Chautala and also got
two important minis-
tries in the Khattar gov-
ernment. But Ranjit
Singh did not come to
the meeting and indi-
cated to his elder broth-
er that he was fine as an
independent. But in
this meeting too, family
tensions began to cause
friction when JJP Gen-
eral Secretary Digvijay
Singh Chautala told his
grandfather that ‘he
would be happy that his
family unites,’ but he
also wanted to make it
clear that the either he
or his father Ajay Singh
Chautala would be the
president of this newly
formed family party.
On the other hand, the
Chautala family feels
that by sending the el-
der Chautala to jail
again, the sympathy of
the Jats of the state will
be with the Chautala
family, whose loss may
ultimately be borne by
the BJP.
...AND FINALLY
When Union Steel
Minister RCP
Singh met Amit Shah,
BJP agreed to send him
to Rajya Sabha from its
quota seat. Dharmen-
dra Pradhan reached
Patna to talk about this
and he made Shah talk
to Nitish, but Nitish
spoke with Shah in a
changed manner. While
talking to Shah, Nitish
asked, “Why are you so
interested in our for-
mer party president?”
Shah immediately un-
derstood the matter
and told RCP that he
should first please Nit-
ish and once he agrees,
only then BJP will
move forward since he
does not want to topple
his government in Bi-
har. RCP is now in a fix
while BJP has once
again offered Nitish the
Vice President’s post.

From P1…
I had a gold medal in
M.Com and topped the
RAS. Then I got promot-
ed into IAS and got sev-
eral chances to work
while also receiving
honours from the peo-
ple. I am a proud 72 year
old man, still young and
energetic.”
Remembering his
days as IAS, Dr. Chan-
dra said, “In 2008, when
I was 58 years old, I was
serving as Transport
Commissioner. A re-
tired IAS used to live
next door to me. He
came to me one day and
complaint about my
other neighbour saying
that he does not greet
the former IAS any-
more. So I spoke with
this neighbour who was
a little straight forward
and said that he does
not feel like greeting a
retired officer. Two
years later when you
retire, I will not greet
you as well. I was sur-
prised and immediately
visualised my future. I
felt that if anyone re-
tires from a big posi-
tion, their humiliation
at the hands of society
would be more. So I de-
cided to work in a field
from which I would
never have to retire. Af-
ter that the almighty
made me the first per-
son in the nation who
launched 18 regional
channels across the na-
tion.”

many other dignitaries
were also present. Min-
ister B.D. Kalla, refer-
ring to the experiments
and achievements made
by Dr. Jagdish Chandra
in the field of television,
said that all this is result
of Dr. Chandra’s dedica-
tion and hard work.
“No one can become
of any value without
education. I congratu-
late Jagdeesh Chandra
ji for achieving this
feat,” the Education
Minister said.

would never have to retire’

VALOROUS AND
RAVISHING
escribe your-
self, and
what would
you say are
some vital
skill or char-
acteristics to
have to make it in the
modelling world?
I’m an active thinker and a
confident girl, I like learning
and exploring new things
and that describes my active
learner. Apart from model-
ling I love interacting with
people and putting forward
my views.
What inspired you to find
the Supermodel in you.
Share some insides of
your journey.
From my childhood I am into
fashion, for me dressing up is
very important, it is a way
through which we can
representourselvesand
When other activities
that help us to feel
‘like us’ – such as
hobbies, seeing
friends and going to
work – are unavailable,
getting dressed up may help
people to reinforce their sense
of self, Clothing impacts how
people think and behave. Put-
ting on a ‘work’ outfit might
help with motivation and con-
centration,andwearingsome-
thing special might help to
break the monotony of lock-
down, and lift people’s mood.
During Covid days, I realised
that I should click my pictures
in my favourite attires and
then I participated in some
beauty pageants.
What was the biggest
rookie mistake you made
when just starting out?
During my initial days, I have
done many unpaid shoots for
many designers and that is
my biggest mistake. People
like to spread negative ru-
mours about modelling
and because of that I
was restricting my-
self from entering
this field and I am
still regretting it.
What has been
the most
memorable
or re-
warding
moment
in your
career?
Wa l k -
ing the
ramp as a
model was
like dream come
true moment for me
and I still cherish it.

ABOUT “X OR Y”
MOVIE
After so much struggle, she is
finally making her debut with
Iqbal Khan in the “X or Y”
movie. This movie deals with
society’s evil mentality about
the girl child and women’s
health. Naaz is an independ-
ent, strong and self-made
woman. When asked why she
chose to do this film, she said,
“Every girl has the right to
live her life according to her
and she should be set free to
choose.” Naaz said, “ Being a
girl, I have seen all these
things all these years. I am an
actor hence I have the medium
through which I can spread
the word amongst the masses.
And I consider myself lucky
that I have got a chance to
work on something like this. I
feel we lack in a lot of aspects.
The subject was so strong that
I did not even think twice to
say yes and the movie will
very soon be out on the OTT
platform. Apart from this,
other big projects are also in
the pipeline.
LEARN AND MOVE
FORWARD
The actress believes that one
needs to accept challenges and
learn from them to sustain in
the entertainment industry
where experience and deter-
mination are required to
prove oneself. During my ini-
tial days, while I was shooting
for a show and the producer
would want to scold the main
lead but unfortunately he
would scream at me for no rea-
son after pack-up. He would
say, “Kya tumhe acting nahi
aati hai? Itna kharab scene
kiya hai tumne. Not only pro-
ducers but also the casting
team, people on the sets would
speak nuisance about new-
comers. It is like ragging and
criticism that every newcom-
er faces in the industry. Once
I was about to break down and
also contemplated whether I
am in the wrong field. Soon, I
did realise that I will learn
from all these experiences to
move forward and don’t let
anybody bully me.
DATING MY WORK
When asked about marriage
plans and love life, Naaz said,
“Currently, I am dating my
work, myself and I love
spending time in my self-care
routine. I have no pressure
from my parents regarding
this. I feel one should get
married when they feel that
they are ready.
COMEDY OR
DRAMA
Having worked in both drama
and comedy Naaz said, ‘’I love
doing emotional scenes be-
cause through this I can con-
nect myself to the character. I
enjoy doing that because I get
to feel the emotions of differ-
ent situations.’’ But likewise,
comedy is not at all easy. One
of the most difficult things is
to make someone laugh. Sign-
ing a show like Chidiya Ghar
taught me a lot about working
in two different zones.
SOCIAL MEDIA
TROLLS
Naaz said, ‘’I think people
should understand that we
actors also have a personal
life where we are free to do
whatever we like. Even today
I get trolled for posting pic-
tures on social media wear-
ing clothes of my choice. Peo-
ple write negative com-
ments such as Kunti Mata
ye Kya Phen Liya, etc.
However, nothing
can be done in
the end be-
cause it is
p e o p l e ’ s
m i n d s e t s
that cannot
be changed in
one day, So I take these com-
ments in a positive light and
keep doing my work.”
hafaq Naaz has
been in the
world of show-
biz for a while
now. The ac-
tress started
her acting ca-
reer with TV shows.
She has been active in
the television industry
since 2010. In a decade-
long career, she has
done a lot of recogniz-
able work which in-
cludes her role as Kunti
in Mahabharat (Star
Plus), Guni in Sapna
Babul Ka Bidaai (Star
Plus), Mayuri in Chidi-
ya Ghar (Sab TV), Ni-
yati in Kulfi Kumar Ba-
jewala (Star Plus) and
currently Shruti in
Ghum Hai Kisikey
Pyaar Meiin (Star
Plus). However, before
she became an actor,
Shafaq went through
her own set of hard-
ships.
In an exclusive inter-
view with City First,
Shafaq Naaz said that it
was difficult as no one
in my family is part of
the film industry but I
have confidence in my-
self and I believe in
destiny because every-
thing happens for a
reason.
