New Delhi: Amarinder
Singh on Wednesday
called on Union Home
Minister Amit Shah in
Delhi, fuelling specula-
tion that he was warm-
ing up to BJP only days
after Congress gave him
an unceremonious exit
asthePunjabChief Min-
ister.
On second day of his
visit to Delhi, the ‘Maha-
raja of Patiala’, Ama-
rinder called on Shah at
thelatter’sresidenceand
held hour-long meeting.
Amarinder’s media

ShahinDelhi.Discussed
the prolonged farmers’
agitation against
#FarmLaws, MSP &
urged him to resolve the
crisis urgently: @capt_

ex-CM’s camp has been
saying that Amarinder
was keeping all his op-
tions open.
CAPTAIN AMARINDER MEETS AMIT SHAH DAYS
AFTER QUITTING AS PUNJAB CM, SETS OFF BUZZ
G-23 IS NOT JI HUZOOR
23: SIBAL; FACES FLAK
CHANNI REACHES OUT
TO DISGRUNTLED SIDHU
V
eteran Congress leader Kapil Sibal on
Wednesday expressed resentment over
the functioning of the party and said it
is ironic that those who were considered to be
close to the high command have left them and
the others are still standing by. The G-23 leader
said the party has to listen to the point
of view of the leaders and
introspect. “Democracy can
not be worked by 20 men
sitting at the centre,” he
said at a time when the
party is facing a crisis in
Punjab. Amid specula-
tions of Amarinder meet-
ing G-23 leaders, youth
congress workers
staged protest
outside Sibal’s
residence on
Wednesday.
P
unjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi in a
press conference on Wednesday said that
the party is supreme and the government
runs on the ideology of the party. He has also
spoken with Navjot Singh Sidhu and urged him
to discuss the issues. Channi added that several
ministers have visited Sidhu and they will
continue to sit and talk with
him. He said that there
is no talk of harming
the government and we
will resolve differences
through dialogue. The
CM said that decisions
will be taken according to
people of Punjab and that
as long as he is the head
of the state, there will
be no betrayal
or corrup-
tion.
DIDN’T WANT TAINTED LEADERS,
OFFICERS, SAYS NAVJOT SIDHU
A ‘NO-NONSENSE’ RAHUL GETS
TOUGH, SHOWS SIDHU THE DOOR
A
day after resigning as the
Punjab Pradesh Congress
Committee chief, Navjot
Singh Sidhu on Wednesday
stated that he cannot compro-
mise with his ethics, moral
authority and pointed out that
he didn’t want a “repeat of a
system of tainted leaders and
officers in the state”. “I cannot
compromise with my ethics,
moral authority. What I witness
is a compromise with issues,
agenda in Punjab. I cannot mis-
guide high command nor can I
let them be misguided,” he said
while Sharing a video on Twitter
on Wednesday.
R
ahul finally showed his
prowess! As per reports,
Sidhu’s resignation can
be accepted, which challenged
the high command, Rahul and
Priyanka. Maybe, Rahul has two
theories - NO ONE IS INDIS-
PENSABLE IN THE PARTY and
FALL IN LINE AND CHANGE
WITH TIME. This seems to be
the only difference in the work-
ing style of Sonia and Rahul.
While such cases met with dilly-
dally during Sonia’s time, Rahul
took the decision in less than
24 hours. Now, challenge is to
win Channi trust vote in Punjab
assembly.

EXCERPT FROM THE JC SHOW
Jagdeesh Chandra answered the
question while correctly predicting the
future turn of events in Punjab.
What are the options in
front of Captain who is on
the path of rebellion?
A
lthough he is turning 80 this year, there is
no chance of wait and watch. He is still a
face in Punjab and he cannot be written
off at all. There are two possibilities, to form
own party but it is too costly, finances wise as
such me may consider joining BJP. He has red
carpet from Amit Shah’s side. Shah is a master
strategist. He keeps waiting and brings in a
person suddenly in ‘aaja meri gaddi mein
baith ja’ style. I have heard he has such an offer
from there that finish the farmers’ agitation and
become Chief Ministerial nominee of the BJP.
Wherever he goes, he is in a position to win at
least 15-20 seats even today at his own level.

Jaipur: When hardly
20-hour-old 2.5 kg baby
of Jyoti arrived from
Kota in the Fortis ICU,
hewasveryblue,breath-
less and was icy cold. He
was stabilised by giving
advanced cardio-respir-
atory support.
His echo revealed,
very complex heart de-
fect, total anomalous
pulmonary venous con-
nection (TAPVC). In
this only 2.5 kgs baby,
both right and left sided
smaller pulmonary
veins were draining di-
rectly into the right
heart separately with-
out forming a chamber.
So both sides required
separate surgeries in
one setting and that too
had to be done in such a
way that there should
be only minimal risk of
re-narrowing at joining
points otherwise chanc-
es of successful surgery
were very less.
Dr Kaushal said in
India nearly 1,75,000 are
born with birth defects
of the heart every year.
Out of these approx.
75,000 sick newborns re-
quire heart surgery in
the very first few days or
weeks of their life.

TOP TWEETS
QES MUST SURVEY
THE UNORGANISED
SECTOR FOR
COMPLETE PIC ON
EMPLOYMENT
hegovernmentrecent-
ly released the Quar-
terly Employment
Survey for the first
quarter which put the
employment in nine selected sec-
tors at 3.08 crore. This showed an
increase of 29 per cent over 2.3
crore in the sixth economic cen-
sus. The nine non-farm sectors
which were surveyed include
manufacturing, construction,
transport, trade, education, ac-
commodation restaurant,
health, IT/BPO and financial ser-
vices---all in the organized sector.
The drawback with this is that it
does not include data from the un-
organized sector. Manufacturing
led the table employing 41 percent
of thetotalemploymentnumbers.
Education(22percent)andHealth
(8 percent) were the other key job
creators. Women’s percentage in
employment fell from 31 percent
in the sixth census to 29.
These nine sectors require a
push from the government to
solvetheunemploymentproblem.
TheCMIEdatashowsthepercent-
ageof joblessinthecountrystood

a civilized image before the
world because Pakistan may
have tutored them to put up

able to avert a financial col-
lapse and China also has too
many financial problems of
its own to be of much help to
Kabul. With the new Islamic
regime still being looked at
with suspicion, several coun-
tries are reluctant to extend
any financial assistance. Rus-
sia says it is in no hurry to
recognize the Taliban govern-
ment and India also is suspi-
cious. Such is the level of dis-
trustthatNewDelhiwasyetto
decideonresumptionof flight
to Kabul despite requests.
Why are nations reluctant
to recognize the new govern-
ment in Kabul? The first rea-
son is that it is there on the
strength of guns and not
popular support. Secondly, it
has already started showing
signs of being suppressive:
restrictions on women are
back and beards have been
made compulsory for men,
morality police has replaced
women’s ministry
. Thirdly, it
is under the influence of Pa-
kistan and China who would
want to use it as a pawn for
their strategic interests.

ships which people in Af-
ghanistan are facing, the
Taliban government is un-
likely to mend its regressive,
brutal ways.

WHY GLOBAL FOOD PRICES
ARE HIGHER TODAY
lobal food prices shot up
nearly 33% in September
2021 compared with the same
period the year before. That’s
according to the UN Food
and Agriculture Organisa-
tion (FAO)‘s monthly Food
Price Index, which also
found that global prices have
risen by more than 3% since
July, reaching levels not seen
since 2011.
The Food Price Index is de-
signed to capture the com-
bined outcome of changes in
a range of food commodities,
including vegetable oils, ce-
reals, meat and sugar, and
compare them month to
month. It converts actual
prices to an index, relative to
average price levels between
2002 and 2004. This is the
standard source for tracking
food prices – nominal prices,
as they’re known, which
means they’re not adjusted
for inflation.
While nominal prices tell
us the monetary cost of buy-
ing food in the market, prices
adjusted for inflation (what
economists call “real” prices)
are much more relevant to
foodsecurity–howeasilypeo-
ple can access appropriate
nutrition. The prices of all
goodsandservicestendtorise
faster than average incomes
(though not always). Inflation
means that not only do buyers
need to pay more per unit for
food (due to its nominal price
increase), but they have pro-
portionately less money to
spend on it, given the parallel
price increases of everything
else, except their wages and
other incomes.
Back in August, I analysed
the FAO’s inflation-adjusted
Food Price Index and found
that real global food prices
were actually higher than in
2011, when food riots contrib-
uted to the overthrow of gov-
ernments in Libya and Egypt.
Based on real prices, it is
currently harder to buy food
on the international market
than in almost every other
year since UN record keeping
began in 1961. The only ex-
ceptions are 1974 and 1975.
Those food price peaks oc-
curred following the oil price
spike of 1973, which drove
rapid inflation in many parts
of the global economy, in-
cluding the production and
distribution of food.
So what’s now pushing
food prices to historic levels?
FUEL PRICES, BAD
WEATHER COVID-19
The drivers of average inter-
national food prices are al-
ways complicated. The prices
of different commodities rise
and fall based on universal
factors, as well as those spe-
cific to each commodity and
region.
For example, the oil price
rise which started in April
2020 has affected the prices
of all food commodities on
the FAO index, by increasing
the costs of producing and
transporting food. Labour
shortages resulting from the
COVID pandemic have re-
duced the availability of
workers to grow, harvest,
process and distribute food,
another universal cause of
commodity price rises.
The real average price of
food has actually been in-
creasing since the year 2000,
reversing the previous trend
of a steady decline from the
start of the 1960s. Despite
global efforts – that have, in
part, responded to targets set
by both the UN Millennium
Development and the subse-
quent Sustainable Develop-
ment Goals to reduce hunger
– prices have made food
steadily less accessible.
No single commodity has
been continually responsible
for the average real price in-
crease from 2000. But the
price index of edible oil crops
has grown significantly since
March 2020, driven mainly by
the price of vegetable oils
shooting up by 16.9% between
2019 and 2020. According to
FAO crop reports, this was
due to the growing demand
for biodiesel and unsupport-
ive weather patterns.
The other food category
adding most to the overall
food price rise is sugar. Here,
again, unfavourable weather,
including frost damage in
Brazil, has reduced supply
and inflated prices.
Cereals have added less to
overall price increases, but
their accessibility worldwide
is particularly important for
food security. Wheat, barley,
maize, sorghum and rice ac-
count for at least 50% of glob-
al nutrition, and as much as
80% in the poorest countries.
Global buffer stocks of these
crops have been shrinking
since 2017, as demand has
outstripped supply
. Running
down stores has helped stabi-
lise global markets, but pric-
es have increased sharply
from 2019.
Again, the reasons for indi-
vidual fluctuations are com-
plicated. But something that
deserves attention is the
number of times since the
year 2000 “unpredictable”
and “unfavourable weather”
has been reported by the FAO
to have caused “reduced har-
vest expectations”, “weather-
stricken harvests” and “pro-
duction decrease”.

New Delhi: While ob-
serving that the
Court’s power to pun-
ish for contempt can-
not be taken away even
by legislative enact-
ment, the Supreme
Court on Wednesday
held the chairperson
of a NGO guilty of con-
tempt of court for not
depositing Rs 25 lakh
fine imposed on it for
filing frivolous PILs
over the years without
any success and “re-

A Bench headed by

jiv Daiya guilty of con-
tempt of court, said,
“We are of the view
that the contemnor is

tempt of court and his
action to scandalise
the court cannot be
countenanced.”
Earlier, Daiya told

Rakesh Ranjan
New Delhi: The incum-
bentDirector-Generalof
theBureauof CivilAvia-
tionSecurity(BCAS)Na-
sir Kamal, a 1986 batch
IPSofficer,issaidtohave
opted for premature re-
tirement by availing of
the VRS scheme.
He is scheduled to
retire in July 2022. Pri-
or to joining the BCAS,
he headed the National
Institute of Criminolo-
gy and Forensic Sci-
ence (NICFS) as Direc-
tor in the rank of DG.
In view of the impor-
tance attached to the
post of BCAS DG, his
transfer from NICFS
reflected the NDA ad-
ministration’s confi-
dence in him.
No special reason is
attributed to his deci-
sion to take the VRS.
A senior legal practi-
tioner informed on the
condition of anonymi-
ty it is just personal.
According to him, Ka-
mal, who holds an LLM
degree, wants to settle
down in the legal pro-
fession. So he might
have decided to take
retirement now, having
reached the Apex
Scale. Since the VRS
acceptance normally
takes three months, he
would be sacrificing
only seven months of
his service.
It’s not uncommon
among senior officials
to start looking for al-
ternate career arrange-
ments from the age of
58-59 to remain gain-
fully ‘engaged’. Since
their experience in gov-
ernment is valued well
in the corporate world,
many shifts there. Oth-
ers, who have legal or
technical expertise,
start their own practice
or consultancy.
There is also no
shortage of officials
who take life easy after
retirement, sit down to
write books, play golf,
or become totally fami-
ly men looking after
their spouses (for whom
they have little time
during the service) and
grandchildren.
That’s the way life is.
So if Kamal has opted
for the VRS, there is no
surprise and his deci-
sion must be respected.

First India Bureau
Kota: On the first death
anniversary of ‘grand-
father of cooperative’
Shrikrishna Birla, fa-
ther of LS Speaker Om
Birla, works of human
welfare and social ser-
vice were done on be-
half of various organi-
zations throughout the
day in Kota on Wednes-
day. Through various
activities including
blood donation camps,
health checkup camps,
food for the needy and
underprivileged and
plantation of saplings,
the residents of Kota
paid tributes to the re-
vered ‘Bauji’.
Shrikrishna Birla, a
well-known name in the
field of cooperative and
social service, died on
29 September last year
due to ill-health. During
his lifetime, he not only
made many families
self-reliant through co-
operatives, but his ide-
als also encouraged a
large section of the so-
ciety to move forward
on the path of service.
To mark his first
death anniversary, on
Wednesday
, social work-
ers celebrated the ser-
vice and goodwill day.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om
Birla, who is on a visit
to Kota-Bundi parlia-
mentary constituency,
also encouraged the
blood donors.
Om Birla said blood
donation is ‘Mahadaan’
as it can save someone’s
life. During this, Kota
South MLA Sandeep
Sharma and Ladpura
MLA Kalpana Devi also
accompanied him.
Sidhu affect: Harish
rushes to Punjab
First India Bureau
Jaipur: In the middle
of a simmering crisis in
Congress after the res-
ignation of Navjot Sin-
gh Sidhu as Punjab
Congress Chief, Reve-
nue Minister of Ra-
jasthan Harish
Choudhary has been
again engaged for dam-
age control in Punjab.
Soon after Sidhu re-
signed, Choudhary left
for Chandigarh and
started damage control
exercise by meeting the
party leaders there.
Choudhary along
with AICC general sec-
retary Ajay Maken was
the party observer in
Punjab during the re-
cent political develop-
ments after Capt Ama-
rinder Singh resigned
as Chief Minister.
He had also stayed in
Chandigarh till the new
CM Charanjit Singh
Channi’s entire cabinet
was formed.
Choudhary is consid-
ered close to Rahul Gan-
dhi. He is updating Ra-
hul Gandhi on the entire
developmentsinPunjab.
This time, the state in-
charge Harish Rawat
has not gone to Chandi-
garh under a strategy of
the party
. In place of
Rawat, Chaudhary has
been sent to Chandigarh
and now he is giving a
complete report to the
Congress high com-
mand. He has contacted
Sidhu and meetings are
also going on with the
leaders who are close to
Sidhu. Sources said that
Sidhuhasnotagreedyet.
The strategy of the
party for the time being
is to persuade Sidhu
and his supporters. If
he is adamant on re-
signing, the party then
has a Plan-B.
Maken to
Sibal: Don’t
denigrate your
own party
New Delhi: Soon after
senior leader Kapil
Sibal’s outburst, Con-
gress general secretary
Ajay Maken hit back
on Wednesday saying
such leaders should
not denigrate the or-
ganisation and its lead-
ership that gave them
political identity.
Maken alleged that
leaders like Sibal are
demoralising the party
cadres who have stood
by the Congress ideol-
ogy. He said it was So-
nia Gandhi, the current
Congress president,
who made him a union
minister though he did
not have any organisa-
tional background and
experience.
“My appeal to Mr
Sibal and others like
him is that they should
not denigrate the organ-
isation which has given
them political identity
by rushing to the media
every then and now,”
Maken said.

On #WorldHeartDay,
let us raise awareness
regarding the impor-
tance of a healthy heart.
A nutritious, balanced
diet and exercising
regularly should be
our effort. Stress-free
lifestyle in tune with
nature can go a long
way in keeping our
heart healthy.

For me, this is THE defini-
tion of love! Can there be
anything more beautiful
than this? Moments of
joy can be shared with
many but our tears are
only shed with someone
precious to us!
Though each song of
Aandhi is a classic, be it
Tere bina Zindagi se koi
Shikva to nahin or Tum aa
gaye ho noor aa gaya hai …
timeless, forever as heart-
rending today as they were
when Gulzar penned them.
Watch Is mod se jaate hain
.. the song is the essence of
the movie.
The songs add to the
beauty of this ageless clas-
sic.Forme,Aandhiisabout
love more than the ambi-
tion of Suchitra Sen plant-
ed and nurtured by her fa-
ther or the so-called simi-
larity to Indira Gandhi’s
life and times, (the movie
was banned too after run-
ning for 20 weeks). It’s
about true love which dis-
tance and time cannot
break. “Na milne se koi
rishte toot jaate hain? Vo
rishtahikyajohaathtootne
se chhoot jaaye.” Despite
the choices and changes
which wreak havoc on the
lives of Suchitra and San-
jeev – love sustains and as
soon as they meet like a hi-
bernating seed, it blooms!
The film moves between
past and present much like
their feelings for each oth-
er, blurred by time.

of Sanjeev Kumar. Neither

in love but want different

uses the ‘silences’ in the

are open to sensitivity…
you might miss the nuanc-

Time heals them enough

prize for the driver’s sister’s wedding.
Ardor 2.1 then increased the price to
Five lakhs and unbelievably, the place is
now giving a whopping amount of INR
8,00,000 to the winners. To date, there
has been no other winner to finish the
