GUPKAR GANG GOING GLOBAL:
SHAH RILES VALLEY,CONGALIKENew Delhi: Sounding
the poll bugle ahead of
local body elections in
Jammu and Kashmir,
Union Home Minister
Amit Shah on Tuesday
termed the People’s
Alliance for Gupkar
Declaration an “unho-
ly global alliance” that
along with the Con-
gress wants to return
to the era of terror and
turmoil.
Thestatementevoked
angry reactions from
the Congress, NC and
the PDP, which dis-
missed the remarks as
baseless and hit out at
the minister.
In a series of tweets,
Shah also labelled the
PAGD, a newly formed
conglomerate of politi-
cal parties, the “Gupkar
Gang” that is going
global and wants for-
eign forces to intervene
in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Congress and the
Gupkar Gang want to
take J&K back to the
era of terror and tur-
moil. They want to take
away rights of Dalits,

New Delhi: The Su-
preme Court Tuesday
expressed displeasure
over the Centre’s affida-
vit in the case related to
media reporting of Tab-
lighi Jamaat congrega-
tion here during the
onset of COVID-19 pan-
demic, and said the gov-
ernment should con-
sider setting up a regu-
latory mechanism to
deal with such contents
on TV.
Observing that the
Ministry of Informa-
tion and Broadcasting’s
affidavit did not deal
with the applicability of
Cable Television Net-
work Act (CTNA) in the
case, the apex court said
the government has the
power to put a regula-
tory mechanism in
place and it cannot be
left to an outside agency
likeNBSA(NewsBroad-
casters Standards Au-
thority. Turn to P6
SC to Centre: Can
you regulate TV
content or need
outside agency?
Amit Shah
@AmitShah
The Gupkar Gang is
going global! They
want foreign forces to
intervene in Jammu
and Kashmir. The
Gupkar Gang also
insults India’s Tricol-
our. Do Sonia Ji and
Rahul Ji support such
moves of the Gupkar
Gang ? They should
make their stand
crystal clear to the
people of India.
MEHBOOBA: IRONY DIED
A MILLION DEATHS TODAY
Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minis-
ters Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba issued rebuttals,
alleging that the home minister’s “frustration” stems
from the political amalgam deciding to contest the
forthcoming local body elections and not giving the
BJP and its allies a free run. “We are not a gang Amit
Shah Ji, we are a legitimate political alliance having
fought and continuing to fight election, much to your
disappointment,” wrote Abdullah. Mehbooba said
the “BJP’s stale tactic of dividing India by projecting
themselves as saviours and political opponents as
internal and imagined enemies is far too predictable
now”. “Love jihad, tukde tukde and now Gupkar
Gang dominates the political discourse instead of
rising unemployment and inflation,” she said. “BJP
can stitch as many alliances in its hunger for power
but somehow we are undermining national interest
by putting up a united front,” she said. “ Irony died
a million deaths since it’s BJP itself that violates the
constitution day in and day out,” she tweeted.
Countries supporting terrorists
should be held guilty: PM Modi
New Delhi: Asserting
that terrorism is the
“biggest problem” fac-
ing the world, Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi said there is a
need to ensure that
countries supporting
and assisting terrorists
are held guilty.
Addressing the sum-
mit of five-nation
grouping BRICS via
videoconferencing to-
day, the prime minister
also said there was a
need to tackle the prob-
lem of terrorism in an
organised manner.
The 12th BRICS sum-
mit, hosted by Russian
President Vladimir
Putin, was also attend-
ed by Chinese Presi-
dent Xi Jinping, Bra-
zilian President Jair
Bolsonaro, and South
African President Cyr-
il Ramaphosa.
“Terrorism is the big-
gest problem the world
is facing. We have to en-
sure that the countries
that support and assist
the terrorists are also
held guilty,” the prime
minister said, without
naming any country.
The BRICS (Brazil-
Russia-India-China-
South Africa) is known
as an influential bloc
that represents over 3.6
billion people, or half
of the world’s popula-
tion. The BRICS coun-
tries have a combined
GDP of $16.6 trillion.
PM Modi also under-
lined the need for re-
form of the United Na-
tions Security Council
as well as multilateral
bodies like the World
Trade Organisation
and the International
Monetary Fund.

CBI ARRESTS UP ENGINEER
FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF 50 KIDS
Banda: The CBI has ar-
rested a junior employee
of the Uttar Pradesh
government for allegedly
sexual abusing around
50 children
over a 10-year
period, and
sharing, or
selling, pho-
tographs and
videos of child
sexual abuse material to
pedophiles around the
world via the darknet.
Officials of the central
investigative agency said
the abused children, who
are between five and 16
years old, came from
three districts across the
state - Banda, Chitra-
koot and Hamirpur. The
accused, who has been
identified as Rambha-
wan, a resident
of Chitrakoot
district, was
arrested from
neighbouring
Banda. Raids on
the accused’s
residence unearthed
eight mobile phones,
around 8 lakh in cash,
sex toys, a laptop and
other digital evidence,
including a large volume
of child sexual abuse
material (CSAM).

it includes five years

Jaipur: Call it corona
induced change or
JDA’s constant endeav-
our to make most of its
services online, the
non-techno savvy hith-
erto off line consumers
will now be able to get
some important servic-
es from JDA from any
e-mitra centre near
their residence by pay-
ing nominal charges.
JDA has authorised the
e-mitra centres across
the city to offer online
application services
like lease deed, name
transfer/substitution,
reconstitution/sub di-
vision of a plot and one-
time lease certificate.
The consumers will
also be able to get their
important documents
scanned and uploaded
from the e-mitra cen-
tres on payment of
charges fixed by the
JDA. Nominal fees of
Rs 50 per application
will be payable to the e-
mitra centre for scan-
ning and uploading all
the documents needed
for it. In case the appli-
cant makes an online
payment of Rs 2000
with any application
then only Rs 10 will be
payable to the centre
and if the online pay-
ment exceeds Rs 2000
then only Rs 2 per up to
Rs 1000 for the addi-
tional amount will be
charged. A charge of
Rs 10 will be payable for
each page print out
taken from the e-mitra
centre.
The online services
will not only save peo-
ple from time, energy
and money needed to
make it to the JDA of-
fice from their resi-
dence but also keep
them safe in the corona
times sparing them of
standing in long
queues following social
distancing at the JDA

Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: The Moti Dun-
gri temple will start
providing free food at
the night shelters being
set up by the Jaipur mu-
nicipal corporation
during the winters from
November 20. The tem-
ple trust makes these
arrangements every
year for homeless peo-
ple but there was sus-
pense over it this time
due to the corona pan-
demic.
A number of home-
less people throng the
temple during the even-
ing for food and shelter
to spend the night. The
people can be seen
sleeping on the pave-
ments but during win-
ters it gets tough for
them to survive.
The arrangement of
free food will start
from the evening on
November 20 in the
rain baseras run by the
Jaipur Municipal Cor-
poration, said Mahant
Kailash Sharma of
Moti Dungri Ganesh
temple. He said that for
the last 22 years, the
temple has been con-
tinuously providing
free food that is pre-
pared in the kitchen of
Moti Dungri Ganesh
Temple and distribut-
ed through the Munici-
pal Corporation in
night shelters for the
needy.
Sharma said special
focus will be on Cov-
id-19 protocols includ-
ing sanitisation and
physical distancing
while serving the food.

laid way back in 1727.
Pink City Jaipur, now
a UNESCO World Her-

planned city in the
country. Founded by
Maharaja Jai Singh II
in 1727 the city marks
her 293rd birthday to-
day! Built following

4 years to complete the
construction of major

Jaipur: There are few
things which don’t
change with the change
in the regime. The ap-
pointment of Honorary
Wildlife Wardens
(HWW) in the state is
one such issue. It has
been around seven
years that not even a
single HWW has been
appointed in any of the
33 districts of the state.
As per the Wildlife Pro-
tection Act 1972, section
59, there is a provision
to appoint HWW. Ideally
these should be the peo-
ple with experience and
interest in wildlife con-
servation but mostly
these appointments
have been used as po-
litical obligatory tools
appointing such people
who do not know any-
thing about wildlife
conservation or forests.
The issue of appoint-
ment of HWW kept lin-
gering during the last 4
years of the previous
BJP government and
still is in limbo while
the present government
is about to complete its
two years in the office.
The primary reason for
this is the undue pres-
sure created by the min-
ing and hotel lobby who
do not want any inde-
pendent entity, less like-
ly to come under pres-
sure, to enter the sys-
tem and disturb their
illegal activities. Vigi-
lant forest and wildlife
officials can either be
managed or got trans-
ferred somewhere else
easily, is a known fact.
School owners & coaching centre operators from across the
state sat on strike in Jaipur on Tuesday.

here’s plenty of
evidence show-
ing how impor-
tant nutrition is
for exercise,
from aiding performance
to enhancing recovery. But
it’s often confusing to know
whether it’s best to eat be-
fore or after you exercise.
To answer this, you
should first consider what
you’re training for, as your
goal could influence
whether to eat before or
not. Second, you need to
consider the level that
you’re at. An elite athlete’s
needs are different from a
beginner and probably in-
fluences how much energy
from food is needed – and
even the number of meals
eaten. Third, you need to
think about what works for
you. Some people thrive
when training in a fasted
state, while for others, it’s
the opposite.
EATING BEFORE
When we exercise, our bod-
ies need energy. This energy
is supplied by fuel, either
stored in our bodies (as car-
bohydrate in our liver and
muscles, or from fat stores),
orfromthefoodweeat.If the
exercise is demanding or if
we exercise for a long time,
weusemorestoredcarbohy-
drate (known as glycogen).
Studies show that carbo-
hydrates in our diet are
important in topping up
our glycogen stores be-
tween bouts of exercise
and also when eaten before
exercise sessions.
Soif yourenergyissome-
what low, or you’re doing a
longer or more demanding
session, consuming carbo-
hydrate-rich foods – such as
pasta, rice, cereals or fruit
–aroundthreetofourhours
before exercise can help
provide the energy you
need to keep moving.
EATING AFTER
On the flip side, however,
recent research has dem-
onstrated that training in
a fasted state – for exam-
ple, first thing in the
morning before breakfast
– can actually lead to posi-
tive adaptations linked
with efficient fuel use and
fat burning.
This doesn’t necessarily
mean greater weight loss,
but it could optimise fuel
efficiency, which may be
important for those train-
ing for a marathon, for ex-
ample, to help delay fa-
tigue. Fasted training
could also have other
health benefits such as im-
proved blood sugar and
hormone regulation.
But if we think about
the point of training, it’s
all down to how we recover
and adapt from it. This is
where nutrition has a sig-
nificant role to play. Early
research has shown the
benefits of eating carbohy-
drates after exercise to re-
store muscle glycogen. Not
only does this affect our
ability to train many times
a week by helping muscles
recover faster, it’s also
shown to affect how well
we perform.
Studies have also dem-
onstrated that eating soon
after finishing exercise (as
opposed to waiting for a
few hours) can help max-
imise recovery, particular-
ly if a carbohydrate intake
of about 1.3 grams per kilo-
gram of body weight per
hour is consumed during
the two-to-six hour short-
term recovery phase. This
could be useful to know if
you are doing another ses-
sion that day or within
eight hours.

have studied the American
Presidency over many years
to understand crowd psy-
chology, brand building, and
communication. My re-
search probes the historical
evidence of what it takes to
winning and holding that of-
fice. My perspective is that
of a professional brand
builder, storyteller, and prac-
titioner of communication.
In particular, I have re-
searched those who have occu-
pied the office of the President
since the 20th century and on-
wards. The list includes Teddy
Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy,
LyndonJohnson,DwightEisen-
hower, Richard Nixon, Harry
Truman, FD Roosevelt or the
morerecentJimmyCarter,Ron-
ald Reagan, George HW Bush,
Bill Clinton, George.W. Bush,
Obama, or Donald Trump.
To my mind, linked to the
outcome of the American
Presidential election is the
political future of the two
political streams - Democrat-
ic liberalism versus Trump-
style Republicanism’.
I have studied political com-
munication in every major elec-
tioninIndia,theUS,andtheUK
as a project in self-education. In
this capacity, my take on the un-
derlying moral quality of any
political proposition does not
matter. It is the positioning and
the response that it gets from
the electorate that I study.
My position is that Presi-
dent Donald Trump‘s appar-
ent failure in getting re-
elected may well lead to the
cementing of a ‘Trump con-
servatism’ in the right-wing
politics of America.
Being at the apex of the pow-
er structure in the United
States of America is a serious
enterprise. The world looks for
substance where substance
matters. Issues, ideas, and di-
rectional initiatives matter
most and are vitally important
to holding Presidential power.
President Trump had several
aberrations that were unlike
those of a typical political play-
er who ascends to this level. He
was an outsider with uncharac-
teristic traits. He was clearly
loath to follow democratic
norms especially in tactical de-
cision making and railed
against institutions of all
kinds. He also fuelled mistrust
against liberals and liberalism.
Trump was – on the face of it -
an attacker of the established
elites and he ran his Presidency
like a reality show. He had po-
litical smarts and could work
for a crowd. He knew how to
draw and keep attention. How-
ever, the tenacity and mindful
application of a political strat-
egy was always missing. From
day one, his administration
was forever in flux. He was
thin-skinned and extremely re-
active. He couldn’t build a team
of effective high calibre Advis-
ers. Unlike most establish-
ments –The Bush, Clinton and
Kennedy’s political establish-
ments for example – did not cre-
ate any networks of patronage.
So, what are the obvious
things to watch out for in an
elite presidential persona?
The first is cynicism. Even in
a polarised world people like
their president to be on the solu-
tion side and not one who con-
tinuously and cynically repeats
the problem statement. Much
of what Trump did to get to
power he could not deliver via
committed policy. He did raise
the China issue effectively but
it was a case of too little too late.
The second obvious learn-
ing is to avoid being erratic.
This is seen in terms of the
talent that you attract, the
policies that you follow
through, and how transpar-
ent you are in discussing the
operations and delivery. “If
you are not with me you are
my enemy” cannot be a
healthy way to sustain mo-
mentum and build alliances.
Finally the presidential
brand suffers if the incumbent
is arrogant, complaining, and
insultingly direct. A President
can’t be seen as oscillating be-
tween being a whiner or a
know it all. It devastates the
brand aura.
What is likely to be the fu-
ture of Trump-style politics
in America? Intelligent
analysis by those who un-
derstand life in Washington
tends to believe that the Re-
publicans are happy to say
goodbye to Trump but retain
Trump-ism
As a party, they have control
of the Senate and a larger pres-
ence than normal in the Con-
gress. They also have a well-
conditioned and sympathetic
Supreme Court thanks to the
several nominations made.
Therefore, the Republicans are
likely to focus on putting a
more solid political main-
stream person in charge of
Trumpism and hope to gain
ground across states. Let us not
forget that no Republican has
won the popular vote in the
Presidential elections since
2004. A good right-wing plan
will be to build on Trump’s loss
and gain leverage on whatever
political crisis the next admin-
istration is unable to battle.
Trump maybe gone but
Trumpwism is here to stay
and win in an environment
of “Illiberal democracy.”

CONG DISSENTERS
GO VOCAL AGAIN
acing decimation in one state after an-
other, the Congress party’s troika of So-
nia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra,
and Rahul Gandhi is facing a fresh chal-
lenge from within. This comes after 23
senior leaders of the party questioned the Gandhi
family’s control over the party. In a letter, they de-
manded sweeping reforms, transparent internal
elections, and a “full-time visible leadership”. The
troika dithered and persisted with its indecisive-
ness. After the party’s disappointing show in Bihar
elections in which Congress proved to be the weak-
est link in Mahagathbandhan, Kapil Sibal, who was
one of the signatories to the letter, revived the de-
bate with the remark that the “time for introspec-
tion is over. We know the answers. The Congress
must be brave and willing to recognize them”.
Sibal was strongly criticised by Rajasthan Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot and senior leader Salman
Khurshid.Inatweet,Gehlotsaid,“Therewasnoneed
for Mr Kapil Sibal to mention our internal issues in
the media. This has hurt the sentiments of party
workers across the country.” Khurshid called Sibal
andothercriticsof leadership“doubtingThomases”
who get “periodic pangs of anxiety”. Khurshid also
advisedthedissenterstodesistfromgoingpublicwith
their criticisms. By going public against the leader-
shipcloseontheheelsof formerUSPresidentBarack
Obama’s negative depiction of Rahul Gandhi in his
forthcoming book, the dissenters have complicated
the situation for Sonia and Rahul. To what extent the
leadership will go in for reform and loosen its hold is
easy to predict but the time for it to act is now.

DELHI MULLS ANOTHER
ROUND OF CLOSURE
ith another round of surge in Covid-19
cases in Delhi, the level of concern has
risen too. Delhi topped the worst affect-
ed states with 3797 fresh infections and
95 more fatalities in the last 24 hours.
Although the numbers are nearly half than 6,725
recorded in the first week of November, the situa-
tion forced Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to mull
another round of lockdown for which he has
sought Centre’s approval. It has also sought ap-
proval of Lieutenant-Governor Anil Baijal to
again reduce the number of guests from 200 to 50.
For funerals, the number is proposed to be restrict-
ed to 20. With the situation worsening, Union
Home Minister Amit Shah asked the Delhi govern-
ment to add another 300 ICU beds and increase the
tests from 60,000 to one lakh daily.
It was the Centre and Delhi government’s own
fault to have eased the restrictions early this
month to raise the limit of guests from 50 to 200
and allow markets to open for festivals without
enforcing rules of social distancing and wearing
of masks. The fatigue of months-long lockdown
saw people come out in droves for their festival
shopping despite warnings from experts. People
probably must have thought that coronavirus had
been conquered or that their immunity was strong
enough to neutralise the virus. No wonder Kejri-
wal appealed to Delhiites “with folded hands” to
wear masks and follow social distancing.
Delhi government’s proposal for another lock-
down in hot spots is facing resistance from some
traders who spoke of losing their livelihood. Del-
hiites have a difficult choice to make.

SC reserves order on
anticipatory bail plea of
former Punjab DGP
New Delhi: The Su-

day reserved its order
on an anticipatory bail
plea of former Punjab
Director General of Po-
lice (DGP) Sumedh Sin-
gh Saini seeking protec-
tion from arrest in a
case related to alleged
abduction and murder
of a Junior Engineer
Balwant Singh Multani
in 1991.
A Bench headed by
Justice Ashok Bhushan
reserved the order after
hearing all parties in
the case and said it will
pass a reasoned order
in the case.
Senior advocate
Mukul Rohatgi appear-
ing for Saini argued
that the Saini is a high-
ly decorated officer.
“There are scores of
death threats on this
man. He took part in
hundreds of operations
and busted terror net-
works. When he was a
DGP, he lodged five cas-
es against current
Chief Minister,” Rohat-
gi said.
Earlier, the Bench
had asked the Punjab
government not to pro-
ceed in the case for the
time being.
Saini was earlier
granted three weeks in-
terim protection from
arrest in relation to the
Balwant Singh Multani
murder case by the top
court. It had asked
Saini to cooperate with
the police and investi-
gation in the matter.

came ahead of the first

the first political exer-
cise since the Centre
revoked Jammu and

“The Gupkar Gang

DELHI MARKETS EMERGING AS COVID
HOTSPOTSMAYSHUTSOON:KEJRIWAL
‘Since cases are rising in Delhi, we are sending a general proposal to the Central government’
New Delhi: As cases of
coronavirus are rising
in the national capital,
the Delhi Government
has sent a proposal to
the Centre, that if need-
ed, markets flouting
safety protocols and
emerging as COVID-19
hotspots, be closed for a
few days, Chief Minis-
ter Arvind Kejriwal
said on Tuesday.
“Since cases are ris-
ing in Delhi, we are
sending a general pro-
posal to the Central
government, that if re-
quired, Delhi Govern-
ment can implement
shutting down those
markets for few days,
where norms are not
being followed and
these market places are
becoming a local COV-
ID-19 hotspot,” Kejri-
wal said during a vir-
tual press conference.
This comes days after
local markets were
seen swamped here
amid the festive period
of Diwali. The national
capital witnessed a sig-
nificant increase in the
number of COVID-19
cases post Diwali with
40,128 active cases of
the deadly virus here.
The city has seen
4,41,361 recoveries and
7,713 fatalities due to
the pathogen so far, as
per the Ministry of
Health and Family
Welfare (MoHFW) on
Tuesday.
Kejriwal also said
that the decision to al-
low 200 people to attend
weddings and other
functions in Delhi will
be withdrawn as of
now and a request for
the same has been sent
for the Lieutenant Gov-
ernor’s approval.
Sputnik V Vaccine
could be produced in
India, China: Putin
Moscow: President
Vladimir Putin on
Tuesday called for a
joint effort by the
BRICS countries on
the development of
the coronavirus vac-
cines as he suggested
that Russia’s Sputnik
V vaccine against
COVID-19 could be
produced in China
and India, which are
members of the five-
nation bloc.
“We believe it is
important to speed
up the establish-
ment of the centre
for development and
research of BRICS
vaccines, which we
agreed to do two
years ago, upon the
initiative of our
South African
friends,” Putin said
while addressing
the 12th BRICS sum-
mit via videoconfer-
encing.
On August 11, Rus-
sia became the
world’s first country
toregisteracoronavi-
rus vaccine, dubbed
Sputnik V. The vac-
cine was developed
by the Gamaleya Re-
search Institute.
Downward
trend in new
COVID cases in
India continues
New Delhi: India has
managed to tame the
new cases of COVID-19
below the 50,000-mark
with 30,548 people test-
ing positive for the dis-
ease on November 16,
continuing with a
downward trend, as per
MoHFW on Tuesday.
The single-day peak
in coronavirus cases
was reported on Sep-
tember 17 with 97,984
fresh cases of COVID-19
and since then India
has been witnessing a
decline in the caseload.
Moreover, the country
recorded 54,366 COV-
ID-19 cases on October
23 and the lowest cases
were reported on No-
vember 16.
Shiv Sena will
wield sword of
Hindutva: Raut
Mumbai: As part of
the ongoing war of
words between the two
former allies, Shiv Sena
and the Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party (BJP), Sena
leader Sanjay Raut on
Tuesday said that his
party will come wield-
ing the sword of Hindu-
tva whenever the coun-
try needs it.
He asserted that Sena
was and will always be
Hindutvawadi. “We do
not need to get our Hin-
dutva certified from any
party. We were, we are
and we will always be
Hindutvawadi. We do
not play Hindutva poli-
tics like them. Whenev-
er the country needs us,
Shiv Sena will always
come forward wielding
the sword of Hindutva,”
Raut said while speak-
ing to reporters here.
Earlier, Raut had said
that BJP should not take
credit for the victory of
Hindutva as the deci-
siontoshutthereligious
places was taken by the
Centre amid COVID-19
pandemic and these are
now set to reopen in
Maharashtra.“The lock-
down was imposed by
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi and the deci-
sion to shut the temples
was also taken by him,
so there is no reason for
BJP to take credit for
the victory of Hindutva
in this matter. I believe
that the Prime Minister
will have to tell the
meaning of victory and
defeat to such people,”
Raut said .

GEHLOT-CP’S
‘SUPRISING’ BOND!
Two top politicians in Rajasthan,
two old mates, two men who
rose from grassroots to top levels
of polity, two men who were one
time considered at opposite ends
of the ‘political rainbow’, and now
two men who may be ‘inseparable’
in their will to serve the interests
of their party and Rajasthan’s
future. Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot and Assembly Speaker CP
Joshi have come a long way in
their respective political journeys
and off late their camaraderie
is more visible than ever. Every
time there is a big occasion of a
pressing need before the party
or polity in Rajasthan, Gehlot
remembers CP and calls him over
tea or for dinner. This process
has now become a standard
when a major leader comes to
the state. The reason why their
relationship is unique is because
CP, known for his own brand of
political approach to subjects,
is extremely ‘firm’ in his stand
on various matters while on the
other hand, Gehlot is extremely
flexible and ensures there is
utmost coordination between
people, but inspite of these two
extremely different approaches,
the bond between Gehlot and CP
is flourishing like always. A point,
which many party leaders can take
note from!

Jaipur: Rajasthan BJP
chief Satish Poonia on
Tuesday said that Chief
Minister Ashok Ge-
hlot’s remark on his
party colleague Kapil
Sibal shows that there
is infighting within the
Congress. He added
that this indicates that
the BJP’s slogan of
“ C o n g r e s s - m u k t
Bharat” will be realised
soon.
Poonia’s remarks
came after the Ra-
jasthan Chief Minister
slammed Sibal over his
remarks in the after-
math of dismal perfor-
mance by the Congress
in Bihar polls and by-
elections. Gehlot had
stated that the former
Union Minister should
not have mentioned the
party’s “internal issue
in media” and that this
has hurt the sentiments
of party workers across
the country. “After the
disastrous defeat of
Congress in recent elec-
tions, Rajasthan CM’s
statement that Con-
gress’ internal fight
should not come out in
media in the context of
Kapil Sibal’s remark
shows that there is in-
fighting within the par-
ty. Today Congress is
zero when it comes to
the thought process
and direction. I think
BJP’s slogan of ‘Con-
gress-mukt Bharat’ will
soon be realised,” he
said.
On Monday, in a se-
ries of tweets, Gehlot
had reacted to Sibal’s
interview to a daily in
which he talked about
the results for the Con-
gress in Bihar assem-
bly polls and by-elec-
tions.
Sibal was among 23
leaders who wrote a let-
ter, earlier this year, to
Sonia Gandhi and de-
manded widespread re-
forms in the party. —ANI
EVILS OF DOWRY: DAD-IN-LAW,
HUBBY HELD FOR MURDERVICTIM STRANGLED, BODY WRAPPED IN BEDSHEET AND DUMPED IN DRAIN ON HIGHWAY
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Solving the
murder case of a
23-year-old woman in
Kotputli area, the
Jaipur rural police have
arrested her husband
and father-in-law. The
accused strangled the
victim on the night of
November 15, wrapped
the body in a bedsheet
and threw it in a drain
at Paniala area on
Jaipur-Delhi Highway,
the police said. They
suspected the character
of the victim and were
also miffed at not re-
ceiving Rs 5 lakh dowry,
the police said.
In order to mislead
the police and family,
the accused duo got the
woman’s missing re-
port lodged at Model
Town police station in
Rewari district of Hary-
ana. The police found
the body and identified
it in a single day. On the
suspicion raised by the
parents of the victim
Pooja Yadav, the police
questioned the accused
who confessed to the
crime.
The accused Ashish
alias Monu Yadav, 26,
and his father Laxman
Singh Yadav, 60, resi-
dents of Model Town in
Rewari told the police
that they were suspi-
cious of the character
of the victim and were
also angry at not get-
ting Rs 5 lakh dowry.
Jaipur Rural SP
Shankar Dutt Sharma
said there were bruises
on the throat of the vic-
tim which raised suspi-
cion of murder.
Kotputli police sta-
tion shared the vic-
tim’s photo on social
media and also scanned
the CCTV footage
around Paniala. Infor-
mation about missing
women was also col-
lected in Jaipur and
nearby Haryana after
which the missing re-
port of Pooja Yadav
surfaced.
Apoliceteamreached
Rewari and investigat-
ed the matter. The fam-
ily members of Pooja
said that on the night of
November 14, she had
called them and in-
formed them about
threat to her life but the
call got disconnected
and she could not be
contacted again.

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: The turns and
twists leading to the
chair of Chief Informa-
tion Commissioner
(CIC) finally seems to
have ended and the per-
son who now appears to
be comfortably ‘making
way’ towards the pres-
tigious office is DB Gup-
ta, the former Chief
Secretary and advisor
toChief MinisterAshok
Gehlot. The topsy-tur-
vey world of bureau-
cratic life seems to have
thrown yet another sur-
prise since not too long
ago, word spread that
there was a contest be-
tween DB Gupta and his
junior who also retired
as CS of Rajasthan—Ra-
jeeva Swarup. This hap-
pened after applications
for the post were rein-
vited that raised a seri-
ous concern in relevant
circles that whether
some internal ‘tug of
war’ had occurred be-
tween the top bureau-
cracy. However, it has
now come to light,
through highly placed
sources, that DB was in
no mood to take any
‘risk’ and therefore only
after CM Gehlot gave an
informal ‘Go Ahead’ to
DB, did he apply for the
position in September.
And therefore, it is now
almost certain that DB
would become the next
CIC since Gehlot, as a
rule, does not change
his decisions once he
has made up his mind.
The confusion with the
entire episode occurred
with the applications
being re-invited and it
was then that a certain
section in bureaucracy
started talking about
Rajeeva Swarup being
also in the fray as the
extension of last date of
submission of applica-
tion was being seen as
linked with Rajeeva’s
application.
However, November
13, being the last date of
application, has now
long pased and Rajeeva,
having not applied for
the post, it is clear that
DB is the foremost
name now.
DB, the next Chief Information Commissioner?
FRESH INNINGS!

Jaipur: Rajasthan Con-
gress Incharge Ajay
Maken’s two day tour of
Jaipur ended on Tues-
day following which he
left for Delhi. Maken’s
programmes were cut
short due to the demise
of minister Bhanwarlal
Meghwal, however, pri-
or to this he held de-
tailed discussion with
CM Ashok Gehlot.
Prior to leaving for
Delhi, Maken also held
a one-on-one, closed
room discussion with
PCC Chief Govind Sin-
gh Dotasra wherein he
took feedback about the
organisation from the
PCC Chief. Meanwhile,
he met several other
leaders as well includ-
ing minister Bhanwar
Singh Bhati, MLAs Ma-
hadev Singh Khandela,
Danish Abrar and
Chetan Dudi among
others.
Notably, the state in-
charge also met a few
delegations, prime
amongst which was the
Muslim Progressive Fo-
rum of Rajasthan.
Upset over their de-
mand of appointment
of one Mayor from Mus-
lim community not be-
ing fulfiled, a delega-
tion of the Forum, on
Tuesday, met Maken
and Dotasra at Khasa
Kothi on Tuesday.
The enraged Muslim
organisation also laid
its demand to suspend
the education depart-
ment officials responsi-
ble for discontinuing
the teaching of Urdu in
the state. Hearing their
woes, Ajay Maken as-
sured the Muslim or-
ganisations that all
their demands will be
considered sympatheti-
cally.
Maken told the repre-
sentatives that there
will be no discrimina-
tion made towards the
minority interests
while PCC chief Dotas-
ra, who also holds the
education portfolio,
told the delegation that
the news of any discon-
tinuance of Urdu teach-
ing was wrong.
Notably, MLA Danish
Abrar was also present
during the meeting.
The memorandum sub-
mitted by the Muslim
Progressive Forum of
Rajasthan also demand-
ed setting up of an Urdu
Education Directorate,
regularisation of all
para teachers, formula-
tion of rules for induct-
ing employees in the
madarsas of the state as
regular government
employees and respect-
fully ending the agita-
tion by Shamsher Bha-
lu Khan being carried
out for Urdu para
teachers.
Moreover, Lawyer’s
union representatives,
headed by President of
Bar Council of Ra-
jasthan Saiyyad Sha-
hid Hassan, also met
Maken and demanded
that they should be giv-
en adequate represen-
tation in political posi-
tions that were being
accorded to lawyers till
now.
Delegations argued
that positions which
were traditionally re-
served for lawyers are
now being offered to
individuals from other
fields.
Turn From P1
Highly placed sources
reveal that it was dur-
ing this time that the
three senior leaders
discussed and deliber-
ated on the various
strategies on how to
bring organization
and government more
closer to strengthen
the party in Rajasthan
and to ensure all
promises made reach
to the last man with-
out any hinderance.
Secondly, it was also
decided that the cabi-
net expansion will not
occur anytime soon
since veteran leader
Ahmed Patel is unwell
and unless he recov-
ers fully, the process
will not be initiated.
Moreover, sources
claim that only once
Ahmed ‘bhai’ is back
and has effectively
taken care of the
pressing issues before
the ‘three-member-
committee’, no deci-
sion on Rajasthan’s
polity will be made.
The third and prob-
ably the most awaited
decision made on Mon-
day night was that po-
litical appointments in
board and corpora-
tions will be started
soon while the fourth
issue, of points raised
by Pilot camp, will be
addressed soon, once
Patel ‘resumes work’.
Notably, three days
back Gehlot spoke
with Pilot over phone
after the latter contact-
ed Corona.

worked for the deprived.
PCC chief Govind
Singh Dotasra, after of-
fering his floral tributes
to the Shekhwati politi-
cal giant, said that the
void created due to the
demise of Meghwal can-
not be filled.
Condoling Manoj, the
PCC chief shared the
grief of losingsisterand
father at short intervals.
It is noteworthy that
72-year-old, five time
MLA from Sujangarh
Vidhan Sabha seat
passed away on Monday
at Medanta hospital in
Gurugram after ailing
since May 2020.
He had fainted at his
Jaipur residence on
May 13 after which he
was first taken to Saket
hospital and then admit-
ted to SMS hospital.
Later CM Gehlot had ar-
ranged an air ambu-
lance for Meghwal to be
shifted to Medanta. Late
Meghwal is survived by
his wife, a son and a
daughter. Late Meghw-
al’s another daughter
Banarsi Devi, who was

was former Zila Pra-

also passed away on Oc-

that the Gehlot govern-

two months. Kataria
was addressing a BJP
workers meeting or-
ganised in Udaji ka
Gada in the Ghatol Pan-
chayat Samiti while he
was campaigning for
the election for 5 Zila
Parishad members and
27 Panchayat samiti
members for the up-
coming panchayati raj
elections.
Kataria also targeted
the Congress party for
its family culture in
politics. He said despite
repeated election fail-
ures across the country
the central leadership
of the Congress hasn’t
yet understood and as a
result most of the Zila
Pramukh seats and
Pradhan seats of Ban-
swara district are re-
served for the family
members of senior Con-
gress leaders.
Ghatol MLA Haren-
dra Ninama while ad-
dressing the party
workers said that the
Congress shop was
empty while the BJP
shop was full of sup-
plies so it is up to the
people to decide who
would give them better
goods.
The meeting was

Jaipur: A bond, that
stood the test of time,
that lasted for over 40
years, between Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
and Master Bhanwarlal
Meghwal was lost on
Monday when Meghwal
breathed his last after
prolonged illness.
The two Congress
leaders had been to-
gether since the 1980s. It
was nearly six months
back that Gehlot last
saw ‘Masterji’ when he
was being airlifted to
Medanta hospital from
Jaipur Airport.
Like a family mem-
ber, Gehlot stood with
the family at the air-
port, and though the
Chief Minister believed
that his friend would
return, life had other
plans.
Gehlot kept regular
track on Meghwal’s
health at Medanta and
the loss of his long
standing friend was
very much visible on
Gehlot’s face on Tues-
day.

Asymmetrical
Symmetry
ne of the most common and
loved forms of jewellery in In-
dia is ‘Tribal Jewellery’. This is the
kind of jewellery made by tribal arti-
sans, or given the look of it for that matter.
Also known as ‘Boho Jewellery’, this is the
kind preferred by women to give themselves
a boho or bohemian look.
Tribal jewellery looks super attractive and colour-
ful (in most cases), and also reflects a way of life
that is steeped in socio-cultural traditions. This
jewellery is mostly made using local materials
that contain the significant cultural mean-
ing of the wearer. Honestly, the authentic
handcrafted tribal jewellery is different
from what one can find while randomly
shopping. The best and the most unique
thing about tribal jewellery is that their
shapes and sizes are rarely symmetrical,
and that is the entire essence of this type
of jewellery.
Taking care of jewellery, in general, is
very important, so as to sustain them for a
longer period of time. City First gives you
a few tips and tricks to maintain tribal jew-
ellery for the longest time, so
you can slay in them when-
ever you want.
1
Remove it timely:
Make sure to remove
the jewellery before
you go to bed or get into
the shower. No matter if it’s
just a small jewellery piece- it
has a high chance to get de-
stroyed.
2
Store it safely: Not
just this, but storing
every jewellery item
that you have is ex-
tremely important, so as to
makesureyouhavethem for
a long time with yourself.
3
Keep away from
chemicals: Make sure
to keep the jewellery away
from perfumes, hair
sprays, and everything else that
has a high chemical volume. This
will prevent it from getting ru-
ined quickly.

Boho Jewellery, and also gives a few tips and

FACEOFTHEDAY
MRUNAL PANCHAL, Content Creator
LEO
JULY 24 - AUGUST 23
Brilliant mind leads to
brilliant ideas but thats not
it, you need to put those
ideas to some use for
brilliant outcomes. You are very quick
with your responses and sometimes
you say things that you don’t mean as
you don’t think much before
speaking. You love your spouse.
LIBRA
SEPT 24 - OCTOBER 22
Bumptious youngsters are
a big no for you as you like
obedient kinds. You are
financial stable but not
satisfied and you want to collect
wealth. This is an excellent time to
showcase your talents as not only
you will get the recognition for it but
also you will get rewarded for it.
ARIES
MAR 21 - APR 20
Excessively eating from
outside right now could
prove to be a big health
hazard. You are tempted
towards trying you hand in
something creative and its requires
some money initially. You are
someone who gives strength to
people to fight and never give up.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 - DEC 22
Abstemious behaviour just
to slim down could be a
good idea if tried for
sometime. Your venture that
was all going down will suddenly start
giving you profits beyond measure.
Some of you are not very much
interested in studies and there is
nothing to be ashamed about it.
GEMINI
MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Impatient nature some-
times does good for you.
You are always busy in
your fantasy world and you
need someone from outside to wake
you up and get you out. You are
working on a project that will change
your life, this is the beginning of your
career and you shall never look back.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 - FEB 19
You have in-depth
knowledge of a particular
subject and you may have a
career in teaching like. You
will earn a lot and money will never
cease to flow in your life but
satisfaction is another thing, you have
to learn to be happy in present. All that
you like and love is in your life.
TAURUS
APR 21 - MAY 20
Pending tasks will be
complete on your behalf by
someone, this is how
nature will show its love
towards you. A strong position that
you hold shall not be misused for
self gain at the cost of other people’s
gain. You may be confused about
someone’s personality.
CAPRICORN
DEC 23 - JAN 20
Barriers are many in life to
state the truth but it surely
depends on each individual
how they manage to cross
it. You are gifted with lots of wealth
in inheritance and you plan to do
something big with it. You are a
devoted person and you dedicate
yourself completely to any task.
VIRGO
AUG 24 - SEP 23
Mother’s love is most
important for you and you
can do anything for your
mother. You are recently
feeling restless as you wish to do
something but still couldn’t figure
out what, don’t worry you shall find
the way soon. Your performance and
improvement is remarkable.
CANCER
JUNE 22 - JULY 23
Looking out for a friend is
something everyone can
learn from you. You are
special in many ways and
your parents are blessed to have you
in their life. You have a vision and
you will achieve all that you want
someday. This is the beginning of a
golden period of your life.
PISCES
FEB20 - MARCH 20
Eventualities related to
business are something
you should be prepared for
well and in advance. Don’t
stress out and over exert today as
sometimes too much burden of work
can make you sick so take things a
bit easy. Those compelled in terms of
career must take a stand now.
SCORPIO
OCT 23 - NOVEMBER 22
Refinement is important if
you are dealing in good
business as there could be
an inspection. Changes in
behaviour will directly have good
impact on your relationships both
personal and professional. Joining
hands with someone for a social
cause will be the best decision.

opulation Foun-
dation of India
began a campaign
called #ZeroTeen-
a g e P re g n a n cy
(ZTP) earlier this
year. The cam-
paign was launched by Ra-
jasthan Health Minister
Raghu Sharma on Nation-
al Youth Day, and was a
means of creating dia-
logue about teenage preg-
nancy in Rajasthan by en-
gaging with key stake-
holders including elected
representatives, govern-
ment officials, and young
people.
What made the cam-
paign effective and suc-
cessful was that it was
able to generate a unified
voice of elected, political
representatives from
across party lines to speak
up. In a symbolic, digital
outreach gesture, they all
held placards to support
the elimination of teenage
pregnancy in Rajasthan
Across Rajasthan,
MLAs like Prashant Bair-
wa, Krishna Poonia, Har-
ish Chandra Meena, Shob-
ha Rani Kushwaha, Rami-
la Khadiya, Mahendra
Bishnoi, Rooparam, Nir-
mal Kumawat, Girraj Sin-
gh Malinga, and Joginder
Singh Awana added their
might to the campaign.
Equally enthusiastic and
significant was the par-
ticipation of MLAs like
Kushner Singh, Hakam
Ali, Heera Ram Meghwal,
Khiladi Ram Bairwa, Nir-
mala Shariya, Rajkumar
Raot, Ved Prakash Solan-
ki, Ramniwas Gawariya,
and Santosh Anoopgarh.
Their inspiring tweets are
attached along with im-
ages from their respective
digital campaigns.
More than 200 people
including prominent poli-
cymakers, bureaucrats,
senior government offi-
cials, media persons, ce-
lebrities, civil society rep-
resentatives, and youth
supported the campaign.
The wide-reaching impact
of these individuals with
their social media follow-
ers amplified the message
about teenage pregnan-
cies. It became clear also
that digital initiatives like
this can play a very im-
portant role in breaking
the silence around diffi-
cult subjects, normalizing
taboo topics, and creating
an enabling environment
for young people to access
sexual and reproductive
health information and
services. This work is
even more crucial consid-
ering how debilitating the
impact of early pregnan-
cies can be on the overall
well-being of underserved
communities. The digital
campaign #ZeroTeenage-
Pregnancy gains critical
importance in the light of
the NFHS-4 data which
shows that 35 percent of
girls in Rajasthan were
married before the age of
18. And more than 6 per-
cent of these girls either
had children or were preg-
nant at the time of the
survey.
As Nikita Srivastav,
Senior State Program
Manager at Population
Foundation India ex-
plained, “such a cam-
paign is extremely impor-
tant in a state like ours
considering almost one-
fifth of the population of
Rajasthan is adolescent.
Support and commitment
from policymakers via
this campaign make the
message more impactful
as they represent differ-
ent geographies, cultures,
and communities. People
from their constituencies
idealize them and follow
in their footsteps. These
initiatives especially
when they cut across par-
ty lines, help a lot. They
facilitate to provide the
correct messaging and in-
formation to the young.
A healthy adolescent pop-
ulation will have a sig-
nificant impact on the
social and economic pro-
file of Rajasthan, and we
will continue to work to-
wards the goal of Zero
Teen Pregnancy in Ra-
jasthan.”
About Population Foun-
dation India: Population
Foundation of India is a
national civil society or-
ganization, founded by
Bharat Ratna JRD Tata in
1970. In Rajasthan, Popu-
lation Foundation of In-
dia is working for adoles-
cents and youth by put-
ting information and ser-
vices related to their sex-
ual and reproductive
health and creating an
enabling environment for
young people to adopt pos-
itive attitudes towards
gender and power.

hile it's been more
than four years
since Brad Pitt and An-
gelina Jolie made the
shocking decision to part
ways, the divorce proceed-
ings continue on. The major
bone of contention is the custody battle for
their six children, Maddox, 19, Pax, 16, Za-
hara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and
Vivienne, 12. In the latest developments, ac-
cording to Daily Mail, Jolie has lost her
battletoremoveJudgeJohnW.Ouderkirk
from Brangelina's divorce case.
For the unversed, Angelina had re-
quested Judge Ouderkirk be removed
from their case claiming that he failed
to disclose his ongoing business and pro-
fessional relationships with Pitt's legal
team and hence it wouldn't be fair to have
him preside over the divorce battle. It's
interesting to note that Judge Ouderkirk
had actually married the couple back in
2014. As per the court documents, acquired
by Daily Mail, the Superior Court of the
Start of California denied Angie's statement
of disqualification, which means Judge
Ouderkirk will remain on the case.
