Jaipur: Dr Sudhir
Bhandari is going to
opt for voluntary re-
tirement scheme, reli-
able sources said, add-
ing that he is going to
apply for it in the next
few days.
After taking VRS, he
will be appointed as the
permanent Vice-Chan-
cellor of Rajasthan Uni-
versity of Health Sci-
ences (RUHS).
The fact of the matter
is he now works under
the Medical Education
department while
RUHS is an autono-
mous body
.
That is why he has to
resign from incumbent
post to take up the new
assignment.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: DRI arrested a
man who was carrying
foreign currency worth
`38 lakh with him at
Jaipur airport. Follow-
ing a tip-off, the DRI
officials checked the
passenger and recov-
ered 40000 USD & 9800
Euros.
He was to board a
flight to Sharjah from
the Jaipur airport. The
passenger was pro-
duced before the court
where the magistrate
sent the accused to judi-
cial custody for 14 days.
Sources said that the
passenger had con-
cealed Euros in the rec-
tum while 40,000 US
dollars were found hid-
den in his baggage. The
DRI took action under
the FEMA Act.
The passenger is not
from Rajasthan. He as-
sumed that there would
be no strict checking at
Jaipur airport, so he
chose Jaipur to board
the flight.

EXPECTING KOHLI
MAGIC TO REVIVE AT
MOHALI FOR 100TH
TEST CENTURY
irat Kohli is playing
in his landmark
100th Test at Mohali.
His first innings out-
ing may have fallen
short of the expectation of spec-
tators especially for this first
Test against Sri Lanka, but that
does not make Kohli any less leg-
endary than we know him to be.
En route to his 100th Test he
broke quite a few records and led
India to the pinnacle not only
with his masterful batting but
also leadership. With his young
teammates, Kohli transformed
his squad into a fighting unit
which bounced from being one-
Test down to win the series to
stun Australia and England. His
27 hundreds in Tests are only
three short of 30 each by Sunil
Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar.
Even if Kohli is unable to hit
a ton in his 100th because of a
lean patch, one must not forget
that even Tendulkar had to wait
for the coveted mark. He has age
and the steely resolve for slam-
ming the hundredth hundred.
V
ndia has ab-
stained from vot-
ing against Russia
yet again reflect-
ing its quandary
for doing a balancing act be-
tween Russia and the United
States. On Friday, India ab-
stained from voting on set-
ting up an independent inter-
national inquiry commission
on rights violations by Russia
in Ukraine. The UN Human
Rights Council’s draft vote
was adopted with 32 votes in
favour, two against and 13 ab-
stentions which included In-
dia, China and Pakistan.
India abstained from vot-
ing against Russia in the UN
General Assembly on
Wednesday. The UNGA vote
was to condemn Russia for
its invasion of Ukraine. It
was one of the 35 countries
which abstained. New Delhi
also stayed away from the
UN Security Council vote to
“deplore in the strongest
terms” the Russian aggres-
sion against Ukraine.
By no logic this can be
termed a non-aligned stand
but the US has no option but
to accept India’s soft tilt to-
wards Moscow. This was obvi-
ous from the Quad meeting
which Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi addressed virtually
.
There were no signs of differ-
ences over India’s stand on
Ukraine as Quad has a differ-
ent target in its cross-hairs.
India, however, could face a
tricky situation if Russia
weretotapIranforoilthrough
the Chabahar port which, it is
understood, India has been
unable to complete for some
reasons. It is a strategically
important port and India has
to watch out for China grab-
bing control of the port.
India has justified its stand
by stressing that “there is no
other choice but to return to
the path of diplomacy and dia-
logue”. Given the situation,
dialogue is the only hope.

I
ven as it is being claimed that
the death of student activist
AnisKhanisbeingpoliticized,
somestudents’unionsinWest
Bengal have joined hands to
protest and seek justice.
Anis died at his home in
Howrah district early on Feb-
ruary 19. The student activ-
ist’s death has triggered
widespread protest at Aliah
University in Kolkata, where
Anis was studying an inte-
grated five-year MBA course.
Anis was actively involved
in protests.
WHAT HIS DAD SAID:
Anis had apparently reached
home late after attending an
Islamic programme which is
referred to as jalsa in the lo-
cal parlance. Around 1am,
Salem Khan, Anis’ dad, heard
a knock on the door.
Salem said he saw four
men (but they were “six to
seven” as per Anis’ brother
Shabir!) who were asking for
Anis. They were “wearing
khaki uniform”, his dad had
said. They “informed” Salem
(as per Salem) that they were
policemen and needed to
speak to Anis. Salem goes on
to say after he opened the
door, one person flashed “a
gun on his temple” while the
rest went inside to look for
Anis, Salem had said this
which was widely reported
in the media.
Salem goes on to say… af-
ter he (Salem) let them in,
they began hitting all in the
family
. He had also said these
people vandalised the house
while looking for Anis, who
was sleeping upstairs. When
these men found him (Anis),
they started beating him
also… Salem had said. The
men had “dragged Khan to
the under-construction sec-
ond floor”… his brother had
mentioned.
Anis’ brother Shabir al-
leged that he had heard Anis’
“struggle” with these per-
sons… though his dad had not
mentioned this… and then
everything was over after the
soundcamethatrockedthem,
the family alleged.
Trinamool Congress stu-
dents’ wing on Monday, took
out a rally in the city protest-
ing against the alleged ef-
forts by Opposition Left and
other organisations to politi-
cise the mysterious death of
student leader Anis Khan.
Trinamool Chhatra Pari-
shad state President Trinan-
kur Bhattacharya, Trina-
mool Youth Congress leader
Debangshu Bhattacharya
were in the forefront of the
rally, in which thousands of
students walked 4 km from
Ramlila Maidan at Entally to
Mayo Road.
“Despite the ordering of a
probe by a special investigat-
ing team in the Anis Khan
death and initiatives to con-
duct a fast investigation by
the TMC government, the Op-
position Left and some other
organisations are trying to
politicise Anis’ unfortunate
death. They are trying to cre-
ate lawlessness and are insti-
gating his family and locals
not to cooperate with the SIT
for political reasons,” Trinan-
kur Bhattacharya had said.
The left students’ wing and
CPI-M had alleged that uni-
formed police personnel
from Amta were behind his
death and demanded the ar-
rest of the officer in-charge
of Amta police station and
action against the SP (Rural)
Howrah.
Meanwhile, Uluberia Dak-
shin MLA and West Bengal
minister Pulak Roy met the
father of Anis at his Amta
residence and later told re-
porters “Vested interests are
trying to mislead the family
and derail the SIT probe for
political reasons. But we
want the truth to come out.
We are with the family
.”
Two persons - a civic vol-
unteer and a home guard at-
tached with Amta police sta-
tion – have been arrested by
the SIT and their custodial
interrogation is on, director
general of police Manoj
Malviya had said.
Anis’ septuagenarian fa-
ther Salem Khan said he
could not see the man in po-
lice uniform in the test iden-
tification parade but assured
that he will cooperate in the
SIT probe as directed by Cal-
cutta High Court.
However, according to
Amta Police, no cops were
sent to his (Anis’) house for
anykindof probe/arrest.The
police have suspected foul
play in the entire episode.
Meanwhile, an SIT, prob-
ing the death case, exhumed
the body for a second autopsy
on Monday in the presence of
a district judge in Amta area
of Howrah district. The Cal-
cutta HC had ordered the sec-
ond post-mortem.
Officials said that the pro-
cess (of exhumation) started
around 12.30 pm. A team of
(three) doctors is supposed to
perform the autopsy at SSKM
Hospital. The second autopsy
will help the SIT estimate the
height and angle at which the
late student activist fell.
On February 23, the SIT
had tried to exhume the body
but had to return without do-
ing so after irate villagers
had stopped it and raised slo-
gans against them.
Last week, home guard
Kashinath Bera and civic po-
lice volunteer Pritam Bhat-
tacharya who were on duty at
Amta police station on Febru-
ary 19 were arrested. The two
arrested policemen said they
are being made scapegoats.
Anis was the state general
secretary of the All-India
Students Federation (AISF)
earlier, he had “reportedly”
joined the Indian Secular
Front led by Abbas Siddique.
The Chief Minister, Mama-
ta Banerjee had earlier or-
dered a SIT probe, which is
supposed to place its report
soon. Meanwhile, Kolkata
Mayor Firhad Hakim alleged
“a deep-rooted conspiracy
.”
Students of Aliah Univer-
sity… supported by Jadavpur
University students as well as
several progressive and dem-
ocratic forces, have hit the
streets to protest Anis’ death.
In Kolkata, these students
carried out marches from
Aliah University and culmi-
nated at the seven-roads
crossing of Park Circus.
Anis’ murder has reunited
students of different campus-
es. Raising slogans of Azadi,
these students who had re-
cently participated in the pro-
test rally against Karnataka’s
hijabrow,arenowdemanding
free and fair investigation.
Student activists have also
visited the bereaved family
members and assured them
assistance.

People’s Party being a

Barring Mizoram, all

While Meghalaya

However, speaking to
local reporters outside
Meghalaya Legislative
Assembly on Friday af-
ternoon, CM Sangma
termed the development
a “normal procedure.”
“The decision was made
quite a long time ago. I

said, and added: “There-
fore, it is a normal
thing…lot of states have
taken this decision, and
it is aligned with that.
Anybody who comes in
here, has to take consent
from the state. That’s all.
It is a normal proce-
dure.”
Earlier, besides Mizo-

. The withdrawal
of consent means that
the agency will not be

HOLY POLITICS!
New Delhi (PTI): The
armed forces have made
a fresh appeal to be ex-
cluded from the Right to
Information or RTI Act,
saying that they have
notonlyfoundinstances
where the transparency
law could be harming
national security but
compromisingthechain
of command as well.
This time the appeal
has come in the form of
a proposal filed before
the government’s Com-
mittee of Secretaries
which includes the top
officials of prominent
ministries like Home,
Defence, Revenue, In-
formation Technology,
as well as the Cabinet
Secretary
.
The Department of
Military Affairs, a part
of the Defence Ministry
,
had sent a similar pro-
posal to the govt last
year. The push had been
renewed by the coun-
try’s first CDS General
Bipin Rawat citing the
security of the nation,
the need to defend it
from external aggres-
sion and disturbance of
peace and tranquillity
within the country. An
early bid to have the
armed forces exempt
from the law after it was
introduced in 2005 did
not fructify
.

.Hisseatis
the focus of discussion
not only among state
politicians but has also
drawn curious atten-
tion from New Delhi’s
power corridors.
Singh’s oratorical
skill, centred around
making facts and fig-
ures easily understand-
able to the common
folks, has drawn many
candidates to seek his
assistance in laying out
their campaign format.

In the bureaucratic
circles across cadres,

the high-decibel elec-

talking point. In a short
span of just 20 days, his
election campaign is
said to have moved like
a blitz across his con-

.
He has also visited
other constituencies. In
Gorakhpur, he ad-

RACE FOR RS
BERTH
With Rajya Sabha
elections around the
corner, Congress party
leaders are running from
pillar to post (read Mewar-
Wagad to Delhi) to secure a
berth for themselves. Among
these are two traibal leaders
— Raghuveer Singh Meena
and Tarachand Bhagora —
who have served as Lok
Sabha MP in the past.
Moreover, Raghuveer is
member of the highest
finctioning body of Congress
— CWC while Bhagora has
served as national secretary
of the party. This year,
election has to happen on
four seats of Rajya Sabha
and the chances of a tribal
leader getting a berth have
increased since there is no
Rajya Sabha or Lok Sabha
MP of Congress from tribal
region.

LEGACY OF
POWER!
The political legacy of any
politician worth their salt
is extremely dear to the said
individual. For this, the politi-
cian tries to find a suitable
candidate, preferably within
the family, so that the legacy of
power can continue. It seems
that minister Mahesh Joshi, in
a brilliant example of woman
empowerement, has started
entrusting his daughter in
law Divya Joshi with the task
of looking after and hearing
the greivances, if any, of the
hundreds of people from the
minister’s constituency that
come to oay the minister a
visit for their work. Joshi has
become excessively busy and
therefore, his daughter in law
helps out Joshi in handling of
people. Therefore, Divya Joshi
has been handling not only the
works related to her house-
hold, but ‘management’ works
as well. —Yogesh Sharm

First India Bureau
Jaipur: As March 10,
the day for declaration
of result of assembly
polls in five states,
draws near prepara-
tions for ‘badabandi’ of
Congress candidates
have started. Word is
that Rajasthan can once
again become the epi-
centre for ‘badabandi’.
Congress candidates
from the neighbouring
state of Punjab are set
to be brought to Ra-
jasthan for this purpose
and Congress leaders
have identified hotels in
Jaisalmer, Jaipur and
Sawai Madhopur for
this purpose. Candi-
dates will be brought as
soon as the leaders get
the green signal to ferry
them.
Many Congress can-
didates from Punjab
have already come to
different tourist places
in Rajasthan. Discus-
sions are going on
among the senior lead-
ers regarding the ‘fenc-
ing’ in Rajasthan. Pun-
jab Congress in-charge
Harish Chaudhary is
keeping an eye on the
entire matter.
some leaders are of
the opinion to let poll
results to be declared
first move candidates
later, While some others
have argued that candi-
dates should be shifted
before the result.

No state government
can take loans outside
the rules made by the
central government.
Debts by the states can
be taken only under
the limits prescribed
under Article 293 of
the Constitution and
FRBM (Fiscal Respon-
sibility and Budget
Management Act).”
Adding further, in a
series of tweets, the
chief minister said,
“Under clauses (3) and
(4) of Article 293, state
governments need to
obtain the consent of
the Centre for raising
fresh loans in case they
are indebted to the lat-
ter, and such consent
may be granted subject
to conditions.
The state’s debt
when I vacated the
chief minister’s office
in 2013 amounted to
23.98% of the Gross
State Domestic Prod-
uct(GSDP)--Rs1,29,910
crore -- which swelled
to more than 35% of
GSDP -- Rs 3,11,371
crore by the end of the
BJP rule in 2018.
The BJP govern-
ment took more than
double the loan in its
five years. The Govern-
ment of India had a
debt of about Rs 57
lakh crore in March
2014. In 2022, it in-
creased to Rs 136 lakh
crore, which means
that in seven years of
Modi government, the
debt increased by two
and a half times,” he
pointed out and asked
the BJP members to
give their opinion on
this.
He claimed that the
state was in revenue
surplus from the year
2010-11 to 2012-13 (dur-
ing the Congress gov-
ernment). “In 2012-13,
when our government
was in power, the rev-
enue surplus was Rs
3,451 crore, and there
was no revenue deficit.
In five years of the pre-
vious BJP govern-
ment, they were in rev-
enue deficit. In 2018-19,
the BJP government
continuously in-
creased the revenue
deficit to Rs 28,900
crore, which has had
its effect on the state’s

KATE MIDDLETON
I literally can’t forget the mo-
ment when the Duchess of
Cambridge carried a blue
kurta set for Royal duties
in Pakistan. Her kurta was
embellished with white
embroidery around
the neck, and she
wore it with a chif-
fon dupatta. No

was looking
exquisite in the

ndia’s rich cultural leg-
acy is one of the world’s
oldest civilizations in
the world, and now this
land of God is a melting
pot of religions, tradi-
tions, and customs with
its traditional jewels.
The treasures of Indian
heritage include art, archi-
tecture, classical dance,
music, flora and fauna,
people’s innate secular
philosophy and royal but
aesthetic clothing tradi-
tions.
This intangible cultural
heritage of India has in-
fluenced many countries.
Many parts of the world
have adopted our diverse
culture, food, language and
elegant clothing style and
have charmed their fash-
ion in many different ways.
In fact, one of the most well-
known traditional gowns in
the world is the Indian Saari,
which is a wrapped garment
and is considered as the most
graceful dress of Indian wom-
en, it elegantly covers the
woman’s entire body and
makes women look elegant
and beautiful.
The saree and lehenga have
an unrivalled elegance and
opulence which have attracted
people around the world.
While we have numerous op-
portunities to wear these en-
sembles throughout the year,
the same cannot be said for
overseas celebrities who have
also taken love to them.
Many International celebri-
ties have proved that Indian
traditional clothing has a
large fan following, by wear-
ing various variants of Indian
fashion in Hollywood films
and shows they showed their
love an respect of our fashion
and culture.
When the time arises, how-
ever, they wear these ensem-
bles with the utmost elegance,
resulting in aesthetically al-
luring looks.

SOPHIE TURNER
Literally, we can’t get enough
of Sophie Turner, who looked
adorable in a Sabyasachi
lehenga at Nick Jonas and
Priyanka Chopra’s wedding re-
ception. Embracing the vibe of
the festivities, Turner was a vi-
sion for the eyes as she looked
stunning in the peach-hued
lehenga, which had flamboyant
sequins and embellishments
scattered decorations all over
the outfit. The actress totally
slew it in Indian attire with
sheer elegance. Seen here with
hubby Joe Jonas.
KIM KARDASHIAN
It seems like with every picture surfacing
from Kim Kardashian’s Vogue India photo
shoot, the US reality TV star gets a little more
Indian. In some beautiful pictures shared by
Kim Kardashian and the magazine, the blonde
star showed up in a shimmery red saree from
designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee and also a
printed Anamika Khanna lehenga choli for her
photoshoot with the Vogue India.
CHRISSY TEIGEN
Back in 2021, when the love-
birds #PriNick threw a Diwali
blowout, Chrissy Tiegen put
her desi foot forward during
the glitzy celebration. To cre-
ate a radiant and poppy look,
she draped herself in a purple
embroidered saree from Papa
Don’t Preach with a full-sleeved
blouse and a deep neck. Chrissy
spruced up her look with a
mang tika and styled her hair
in a sleek middle parting. The
diva stole many hearts with her
elegant and sensual look.
BEYONCE
Beyonce left her admirers dumb-
founded as she twirled about in a
personalised lehenga designed by
Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla for
Isha Ambani’s wedding. This ace
singer wore navy blue Anarkali,
which was floor-length and
designed in kaleidoscopic flower
embroidery throughout, as well
as a chiffon blue dupatta with a
vivid pink border. She was looking
extremely beautiful in royal
desi attire as she gave a
powerful performance at
the wedding.

“Tyger, Tyger, Burning
Bright, in the forests of the
night; What immortal hand
or eye, could frame thy
fearful symmetry?”
‘Tiger, Tiger,
Burning Bright’
ore than 200
years ago, in
1794, William
Blake wrote
his immortal
lines- “Tyger,
Tyger, Burn-
ing Bright, in the for-
ests of the night;
What immortal hand
or eye, could frame
thy fearful symme-
try?” He encapsulated
the fearsome, majes-
tic glory of the then
invincible tiger, who
reigned supreme in
the jungles.
We have since then
come a long way. To-
day, our earth is fac-
ing serious ecological
crises- global warm-
ing, chronic resources
shortage, rainforest
destruction, wild jun-
gle fires, floods, vol-
canic eruptions, spe-
cies extinction - every
disaster indicating
towards “end of na-
ture”. God’s Eden be-
comes a wasteland-
mainly because of
man’s greed.
In the early 20th
century, TS Eliot and
his contemporaries
were troubled by the
changing values and
moral depravity of
mankind. Ruskin
Bond, in the second
half, is worried about
the disturbance by
ecological imbalance.
“The ignorant man
has been cheerfully
hacking at the branch
on which he is
perched”. Bond’s call
to turn towards the es-
sence of life and rec-
ognize man-made in-
terdependence is
aimed at “preserving
life- beautiful and
powerful”. He de-
serves recognition
not only as a signifi-
cant Indian writer but
as a human being
with a definite phi-
losophy of life which
embraces mankind.
He forges an intimate
relationship with the
Himalayas and his lit-
eral work seems like a
magic casement open-
ing on a beautiful vast
stretch of nature. He
emphasizes the ami-
cable relationship be-
tween man and Na-
ture - as both are in-
terdependent and in-
terrelated.
This wonder and
wild essence of the
world of animals has
been captured with
deep empathy in the
story of an old, wise
and crafty tiger who
has survived all at-
tempts on his life in
‘Tiger, Tiger, Burning
Bright’ by Ruskin
Bond. “Although the
tiger has passed the
prime of his life, he
has lost none of his
majesties. His mus-
cles rippled beneath
the golden-yellow
coat, as he walked
through the long
grass with the confi-
dence of one who
knew that he was still
a king, even though
his subjects were few-
er”. He lives in a jun-
gle near the Ganga
river. Since new towns
and farms are coming
up, the forest is being
cut. The population of
the wild animals
shrinks drastically
.
Poachers and hunt-
ers stalk lions, tigers
and leopards to dis-
play their skins on the
walls or to sell in the
market. This old tiger,
due to his wisdom and
expertise, is the sole
survivor in this area.
He avoids the river-
bank and instead vis-
its a lake higher up in
the hills to quench his
thirst. The villagers
and their cattle use
this water as well.
They have reached a
level of mutual ac-
ceptance where they
do not disturb each
other. “Sometimes,
when the old tiger was
very lonely, he gave a
great roar, which
shook the whole for-
est. The villagers
thought he was roar-
ing in anger, but the
jungle knew that he
was lonely and sad”.
Ramu, a village boy
,
takes his family’s buf-
faloes to the jungle for
grazing. Ramu and
the tiger often see
each other from a safe
distance. One day
Ramu was plucking
Mahua flowers when
a mother bear feeling
insecure about her
baby came out to at-
tack him. The tiger
roared to frighten the
angry bear away and
thus saved Ramu. Lat-
er, when the old ti-
ger’s life is in danger,
due to the arrival of
hunters, it is Ramu
who hangs bits and
pieces of human
clothes in the bushes,
so as to warn the tiger.
The foray made by
Ramu and his com-
panion is the essen-
tial harmony of the
universe.
One day
, luck peters
out for the majestic
beast. The hunters
who had been search-
ing for him- finally
spot him. They shoot
at him while he is
crossing a suspension
bridge. He staggers
and falls into the river
and is washed away by
theswiftcurrents.The
hunters search for
him, but to no avail.
The tiger, carried by
the water, finds him-
self on the banks be-
side a dense forest.
The warm rays of the
sun fill him with re-
newed energy
. “He
raised his head high
and gave a full-throat-
ed roar. He’s finally
greeted by a tigress’s
roar in answer - “call-
ing him, calling him
forward”- leaving us
with a renewed hope
that all is not lost.
‘Tiger, Tiger, Burn-
ing Bright is a story
about all tigers and all
wild animals. It’s
about harmony in
the forest. Forest,
tiger and man are
interdependent.
Nature’s har-
mony encom-
passes all
c r e a t u r e s -
