First India Bureau
Alwar: In a one-of-its-
kind case in Rajasthan,
an elderly couple are
now proud parents to a
newborn in the district.
The 70-year-old mother
gave birth to a baby on
Monday. The mother’s
age is 70 years and fa-
ther’s age is 75 years.
After nearly 54 years of
marriage, both now
have their first child.
The doctor claims
that this is the only case
in state where a woman
of such an age has given
birth to a baby
. However,
with IVF tech, many el-
derly couples in the
country and the world
have become parents
even at the age of 70-80
years. Gopichand, the
proud father, is a former
soldier of the Nuhaniya
village of Jhunjhunu.
He was shot in the leg
during the Bangladesh
war. Gopichand says
that he is unable to ex-
press happiness of their
first child.
Tears of happiness
come out of Chandra-
vati’s eyes time she sees
the newborn. The
weight of the child is
about three and a half
kilos and he is healthy

LET THERE BE NO
FUSS OVER ANDA
IN CHILDREN’S
MID-DAY MEALS
id-day meals in
schools have been a
subject of discussion
from the time the
scheme was
launched. From ideal calorie
count to hygiene, fixing respon-
sibility for cooking to deciding
the menu has been discussed at
regular intervals. Cooked meals
containing 480 calories and 13
grams of protein per child per
day for a minimum of 200 days
per year are prescribed for gov-
ernment and government-aided
schools. Schools have a meagre
budget, which is also not regu-
larly disbursed in some states, to
provide the meals.
The required amount of pro-
tein, essential for the growth
and development of children,
can’t be had from a bowl of len-
tils and some paneer (cottage
cheese). Yet, there’s a contro-
versy over including eggs as
part of mid-day meals even for
those who eat it. So far 13 states
give eggs to children, while Kar-
nataka, which is facing opposi-
tion, is also planning to intro-
duce it. Such fuss over an egg
should be avoided in the interest
of children’s health.
M
olitics is always
full of surprises.
Not long ago
EknathShindeup-
staged Uddhav
Thackeray with the help of
Bharatiya Janata Party to
grab power and the party in
Maharashtra, Bihar Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar’s an-
nouncement that “alliance
with BJP is over” has left the
coalition partner of Janata
Dal-United “nervous”. It may
not be the right word to cap-
ture the BJP’s response to the
situation as the word may not
be part of the party’s lexicon.
Its leadership is capable of
carrying out a surgical strike
in Bihar on the lines of Maha-
rashtrawheretheThackerays
and even Sharad Pawar have
been pushed to the sidelines.
One must wait for the BJP’s
strategists to come up with a
response to Nitish’s coup.
Nitish Kumar is known for
moving in and out of allianc-
es. Before the just-ended alli-
ance, the JD-U remained an
allyof theBJPfor13years.He
parted ways with the saffron
partyafterNarendraModibe-
came Prime Minister in 2014
and formed a government
with support from the RJD
and the Congress. In 2017 he
won the Bihar elections at the
headof aGrandAlliancewith
the RJD and the Congress but
theunitydidn’tlast.Aftertwo
years Nitish broke the alli-
ance over differences with
Tejashvi Yadav, who faced al-
legations of money launder-
ing,andformedagovernment
with the BJP’s participation.
Nitish is now returning to
the old combine of JD-U, RJD
and the Congress. Given his
political fickleness, the JD-U
leader must already be plan-
ning his future move while
building his defences against
a possible Operation Lotus.
NITISH DUMPS BJP,
GOES BACK TO RJD
Nitish Kumar is known for
moving in and out of
alliances. Before the
just-ended alliance, the
JD-U remained an ally of
the BJP for 13 years.
He parted ways with the
saffron party after
Narendra Modi became
Prime Minister in 2014
P

n politics, there is nothing
called permanent friends or
foes. Strange bedfellows
make the script of Indian
politics the way actually vot-
ers want to see it.
Around 1.20 pm Bihar CM,
Nitish Kumar announced
that the alliance with the BJP
in Bihar has ended.
Tension or reported “rift”
between the two parties had
hammered on a breakpoint
over (Nitish) Kumar’s con-
cerns that Union Minister
Amit Shah was working over-
timeinordertocreatefissures
in the Janata Dal (United).
Nitish squarely blamed
RCP Singh, a former leader
from his own party, for serv-
ing as proxy to Shah. RCP
had quit the JDU on the
weekend after his party ac-
cused him of corruption.
The RJD, which is the
state’s single-largest party,
also met on Tuesday to dis-
cuss the political crisis brew-
ing in the state. The party is
currently headed by Tejash-
wi Yadav. According to politi-
cal grapevine RJD is set to
join Nitish in order to revive
an earlier alliance they once
had… at least till this article
was written.
Hope floats and hence one
keeps planning likewise…
probably
. JD(U) hopes that if
(such) an alliance performs
well (in Bihar) in 2024, Nitish
could easily be catapulted to
the epicentre of the Opposi-
tion core. However, this alli-
ance is also desperately look-
ing for faces which have both
political clout and credibility
.
However, the undercurrent
of political ambitions among
leaders in the Opposition
camp is running high and Ni-
tish’s rise is certain to “take
on” Mamata’s hopes of tak-
ing along the Opposition par-
ties all this while and Nit-
ish’s rise in that sense might
also hit a roadblock in the
form of the Left parties. As a
result, the fractured bonho-
mie would continue to exist.
Whether Nitish’s magnum
gameplan shuttles him to the
national centre stage again
(or not), Nitish’s political di-
vorce at least for now will
hugely affect the politics not
just in the Hindi heartland
but also have a ripple effect
in the national scenario.
While the BJP might be the
second-largest party in Bihar
in the 2020 Assembly elec-
tions, just 1 seat behind the
RJD and far ahead of the
JD(U), having Nitish by its
side has always aided the
party hugely
.
Nitish’s pro-development
card might still be saleable
among the voters and it may
any day help dilute and
smudge the taint of corrup-
tion charges against the RJD.
It is important to note here
that the RJD, despite the ab-
sence of Lalu has still man-
aged to hold on to its old form
and that was clearly evident
in the last Assembly polls
when it emerged as the sin-
gle-largest party
.
Earlier, the Congress and
Left parties handed over the
lists of their legislators to
Tejashwi Yadav.
Mandan Mohan Singh, the
state president of Congress
said: “We will support Nitish
Kumar if he leaves the BJP
and forms a new government
with the help of Mahagath-
bandhan. We have also given
the list of all 19 MLAs of our
party to RJD leader Tejashwi
Yadav.”
Mahboob Alam, the MLA
of CPI (ML) said: “We have
also given the list to Tejashwi
Yadav. We will uproot the
BJP from power. We are giv-
ing support to Nitish Kumar
for the formation of a new
government.”
Currently, BJP holds 77
seats in the Bihar Assembly.
JD(U) holds 45, the Congress
19, the Left led by CPIML(L)
has 16 and the RJD 79.
Nitish, it seemed, was un-
happy for quite some time. It
may be recalled that Nitish
had skipped the NITI Aayog
meeting held by Prime Min-
ister. This is the fourth Cen-
tral meeting since July 17
that he (Nitish) has kept him-
self away from amid strained
relations with the BJP. On
Sunday, one of its senior
most leaders, R C P Singh,
who had run into rough
weather with Nitish over ac-
cepting a Cabinet berth at the
Centre, had quit the JDU.
It may also be mentioned
that on July 22, Nitish chose
to stay away from the fare-
well dinner hosted by outgo-
ing President Ram Nath Ko-
vind. On July 25, he also did
not attend the swearing-in of
NDA candidate Droupadi
Murmu as the new President.
If JD(U) sources are to be
believed, Nitish was upset
with the “overt political pos-
turing” by the central BJP
leadership during a two-day
national meeting of all its
frontal organisations held in
Patna between July 30 and 31.
Even though Shah talked
about “contesting the 2024
Lok Sabha and 2025 Assem-
bly polls in alliance with the
JD(U)”, the Bihar CM report-
edly took note of the fact that
several second-rung leaders
had spoken “too much about
repeal of Article 370 and na-
tionalism” which did not suit
his agenda in politics in the
given circumstances.
Nitish, grapevine says,
was also unhappy with the
Assembly Speaker Vijay Ku-
mar Sinha’s “handling” of
the concluding function of
the Assembly’s centenary
celebrations on July 12,
which was attended by Modi
and incidentally, Nitish’s
name was missing from the
invitation! It was an obvious
sign that Nitish’s decision
not to attend NITI Aayog
meeting did not go well with
the BJP central leadership.
In the whole episode, it
seemed that Nitish Kumar
reportedly feared that the
BJP may have wanted to re-
peat the Maharashtra saga
in Bihar. Time will only clear
the air, however, for now, Nit-
ish has made up his mind
and it was perhaps Shah’s
“perceived” grip on Bihar
through the selection of min-
isters which Nitish saw as an
apparent threat.
And the tripping point was
what RCP had said hinting at
Nitish while the former quit,
“I’ll just say that there’s no
curetojealousy
...NitishKumar
will not become Prime Minis-
ter in any of his seven lives.”

Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: It is a won-
derful aspect that the
honourable Parliamen-
tarians of India, who
are elected by millions
of people by casting
their votes, when it
comes to their turn to
vote, they make a mis-
take. The votes of 15
MPs have become inva-
lid in the election of the
Vice President. Think
about these MPs! An MP
is the representative of
an average of 1.6 m peo-
ple and what can be said
about him if he does not
know how to perform a
simple task like casting
votes? There were only
two candidates for the
Vice-President’s elec-
tion and each MP had to
write his order of pref-
erence next to the candi-
date. That is, if the MP
was from BJP
, he had to
write 1 in front of
Dhankhar’snameandif
he was from Congress,
he had to write 1 in front
of Margaret Alva. De-
spite this, vote of 15 MPs
became invalid.
In the presidential
electionheldjust15days
ago also, the votes of 15
MPs were also invalid.
In the presidential elec-
tion,closeto4,800 MLAs
cast their votes and 748
MPs voted. Vote of only
38 MLAs became inva-
lid, while the vote of 15
MPs of 748 became inva-
lid. There too only 1 was
to be written in front of
the candidate of his
choice. There were only
13 states in the country
where no MLA cast in-
valid votes. Among
them there are also
states like Bihar and
Chhattisgarh. But many
MLAs from Delhi, Mad-
hya Pradesh, Punjab,
Maharashtra cast in-
vaild votes. MPs and
MLAs are trained prop-
erly, yet they make mis-
takes even in such a sim-
ple voting process. Cer-
tainly they should be
traced and trained as
well as warned.
How are MPs who do not know how to vote!

NITISH AS OPPOSITION’S PM CANDIDATE
IN 2024? MANY WARY OF HIS ‘U-TURNS’
New Delhi: As he snapped ties with the BJP, Bihar Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar has once again been pitched as a
PM candidate for the 2024 elections by some, but a ma-
jority of the Opposition still view the JD(U) leader with
suspicion citing his numerous U-turns’. Kumar first be-
came chief minister in 2005 on the back of a campaign
against jungle raj’ of Lalu Prasad’s RJD in Bihar. Kumar
dumped the BJP in 2013 after Narendra Modi was
projected as the prime ministerial candidate for the 2014
Lok Sabha polls. Kumar then forged a grand alliance
with RJD and Congress and returned as chief minister
in 2015. He walked out of the grand alliance in 2017,
accusing the RJD of corruption and choking governance
in the state.

New Delhi (PTI): Op-

Tuesday said the JD(U)
breaking ranks with
the BJP is a “strong in-

Bihar CM Nitish Ku-
mar met Governor
Phagu Chauhan on
Tuesday and tendered
his resignation. This
came after the decision
to quit the BJP-led NDA
was taken at a meeting
of JD(U) MPs and
MLAs.
“ # N i t i s h K u m a r

SHAH PITCHES FOR MORE
REFORMS IN COOP SOCIETIES
New Delhi: Amit Shah on Tuesday pitched for
reforms in cooperative societies, saying the same
person cannot be elected year after year and the
election process has to become more transparent.
Shah stressed the need to expand and modernise
the cooperative sector, which he said, has been
a “neglected” sector. “There is a need to bring
changes in the cooperative sector at a fast pace,”
he said. “We will have to change, else people will
change us,” he told top officials of cooperatives
present at the event. Shah also spoke about the
need to bring transparency in purchases and for
that there is no better medium than the Govern-
ment e-marketplace (GeM). He said the ministry is
coming up with a new cooperative policy, preparing
a database, setting up a university for conducting
training purposes and also establishing an export
house to boost overseas shipments. Shah said the
ministry will also bring changes to the Multi-State
Co-operatives Act.
Patna/New Delhi
(PTI): The BJP on Tues-
day accused Bihar
Chief Minister Nitish
Kumar of “insulting
and betraying” people’s
mandate while blaming
his prime ministerial
ambition for the JD(U)’s
decision to walk out of
the NDA and joining
hands with the RJD-led
opposition.
They also threw the
jibe “Paltu Ram” and
rejected claims that
their party was under-
mining him.
RCP Singh, once a
close aide of Kumar,
also accused the chief
minister of betraying
the mandate of the 2020
assembly polls in the
favour of the BJP-led
NDA.

Mumbai: Bihar’spoliti-
cal power game mirrors
the identical reversal of
the political scenario in
Maharashtra. Nitish
Kumar (43 MLAs) has
claimed majority in alli-
ance with RJD (79
MLAs) and Congress (17
MLAs) and intends to
form a government that
will last the rest of the
tenure till 2025 when as-
sembly polls are due.
The Eknath Shinde
led government in alli-
ance with BJP similarly
intends to continue for
another two years, till
polls though Shiv Sena
Chief Uddhav Thacker-
ay has dared them to
face voters right now.
In one situation the
BJP cannot pull down
the new dispensation in
Bihar till 2025, while in
Maharashtra it won’t be
pulled down till 2024
(other political dynam-
ics things remain con-
stant (U) MLAs for some
time. Two days ago,
when Singh held a func-
tion, 30 MLAs from
JD(U) attended it,
prompting Nitish to
take it on and follow it
up with suitable politi-
cal action, to retain pow-
er. The BJP, for its part,
maintained that it want-
ed Nitish to leave the al-
liance as it had commit-
tedtoKumarleadingthe
state as CM till 2025.
Now BJP is smarting
from the wily CM’s po-
litical moves that has
put it out of power and
will bide its time to re-
turn better MLA num-
bers at the next polls.
The same thing was
done to the BJP in Ma-
harashtra after the 2019
assembly elections
when the Shiv Sena led
MVA government (in al-
liance with NCP and
Congress) came to pow-
er. This political favour
was returned with in-
terest by BJP that broke
off 400 Shiv Sena MLAs
led by Shinde with 10
independents in tow to
form government in
Maharashtra now.
Now the BJP seeks to
returnKumar’spolitical
favour by encouraging a
vertical split within the
JD(U) and the Congress
in Bihar as it did in Ma-
harashtra by spiriting
away enough MLAs
from the soon to be
formedgovernmentthat
excludes them. In Maha-
rashtra Sena hopes for
the SC to overturn the
rebel Sena CM Eknath
Shindeledgovernment’s
applecart soon enough.
Maharashtra and Bihar
are definitely a study on
political fortunes mak-
ing a to and fro move-
ment, almost like a mu-
sical chairs gamesman-
ship of power.

New Delhi: After the
presidential election,
the unity of the Opposi-
tion parties has now
been exposed even in
the election of the Vice
Presidential post. When
two parties that did not
vote for a common Op-
position candidate in
the presidential election
returned to the Opposi-
tion camp this time, two
major Opposition par-
ties were thrown out.
Mamata Banerjee, who
opened the front for the
most fight against the
BJP and created the
most ruckus for opposi-
tion unity, did not vote
for the opposition candi-
date. She had asked her
36 MPs to abstain from
voting, out of which two
voted for the BJP candi-
date. Margaret Alva’s
votes would have been
over two hundred if her
34 MPs had voted.
Similarly
, 7 Shiv Sena
MPs also did not take
part in the voting. These
MPs belong to the Ud-
dhav Thackeray camp.
MPs of Eknath Shinde
camp voted for BJP’s
Jagdeep Dhankhar. Last
time under pressure,
Uddhav asked his MPs
to vote for the NDA can-
didate. But this time he
remained silent. So, his
MPs remained absent.
Is ‘United Opposition’ a mere farce?

Lucknow (PTI): Uttar

India’s strength is its
unity and the country
will be weakened if citi-

basis of caste and reli-
gion. The CM was ad-
dressing a programme
to mark the Kakori inci-
dent on August 9, 1925,
in which freedom fight-
ers stopped a train and
decamped with money
to buy weapons.
“India’s strength is
its unity. When 135
crore people speak to-
gether, India not only
remains the largest de-
mocracy in the world
but is also seen repre-
senting and guiding the
world as the mother of
democracy,” he said.
“When we are divid-
ed on basis of caste,
creed, religion, region
and language, it only
divides our strength,
weakens India, hinders
development and gives
rise to anarchy that can
create a crisis on the in-
dependence of the
country
,” the CM added.

this is the first occa-
sion in Gujarat
wherein people are
“banned for a life-
time from seeking
information”.
The commission
said these ersons
were “repeatedly
using the RTI Act”,
“harassing officials
by filing RTI appli-
cations”, filing que-
ries with “malafide
intentions” and it
also found an appli-
cant “cantanker-
ous”.

sessionof Parliamentas
“highly disappointing”
and claimed the govern-

petite to run proceed-
ings even though the
Opposition was willing
to sit till the very end to
debate and pass bills.
The Monsoon session
ended on Monday, four
days ahead of schedule,
after continued disrup-
tions during the last
three weeks over issues
like price rise, suspen-
sion of 27 MPs, the con-
troversial “Rashtrapat-
ni” remark and the
ED’s action. The princi-
pal opposition party
questioned the decision

andallegedthatafterthe

The Opposition was
ready to sit on August 10

pass bills but the gov-
ernment was in a rush
to curtail the session,
AICC general secretary
,
communication, and
party’schief whipinRa-
jya Sabha Jairam
Ramesh said at a press
conference.
He said the govern-
ment had listed 32 bills
at the start of the ses-
sion but managed to
pass only seven in the
Lok Sabha and five in
the Rajya Sabha.
“It was also extraordi-
narythatone-and-a-half
days of proceedings
were disrupted by treas-
ury benches which kept
insisting on an apology
from Congress presi-
dent Sonia Gandhi for
remarks made by the
leader of the party in
Lok Sabha who had al-
ready apologised for his
statement both verbally
as well as in writing,”
Ramesh said. He said
the coming together of
opposition parties to de-
mand a review of the
Supreme Court’s order
on PMLA is a “huge step
towards strengthening
democracy”.
“It is a matter of great
satisfaction that all op-
position parties, 16 op-
position parties came
together to raise serious
concerns on the Su-
preme Court judgment
on the PMLA amend-
ments that were carried
out between 2014 and
2018 and have called for
a review of that judg-
ment and that statement
has already been circu-
lated,” Ramesh noted.
Congress leader and party’s chief whip in Rajya Sabha Jairam
Ramesh said against 32 bills listed, the government could pass
only 7 bills in Lok Sabha and 5 in Rajya Sabha. —FILE PHOTO
If BJP allowed to become stronger, people
may lose their voting right: Akhilesh
Kannauj: Samajwadi Party
chief Akhilesh Yadav here
on Tuesday alleged that
people may lose their right
to vote if the BJP is al-
lowed to become stronger
as he accused the ruling
party of undermining
the country’s demo-
cratic institutions and
the Constitution. He said
there are some countries
where “no voting takes
place” and in sweeping
remarks questioned the
electoral system in China
and Russia. “Is there any
election in the neighbour-
ing country of China. If
you go beyond, are there
any elections in Russia?
In Pakistan, the Army
rules the roost and install
in power whoever they
want to. Are there any
elections in Myanmar and
its surrounding countries?
So, be careful,” Yadav said
during an event at Jhauva
village on August Kranti
Diwas. Yadav alleged that
the BJP takes votes of
backward castes and the
Dalits but did not give
them their due.
New Delhi: On the Quit
India movement an-
niversary, Congress chief
Sonia Gandhi exhorted
countrymen to defend
the country’s freedom
with “all our might”. Gan-
dhi said on this historic
day, Aruna Asif Ali held
aloft the National flag
when lakhs of Congress
workers were beaten and
jailed. Her act of courage
became the symbol of
our quest for freedom,
Sonia Gandhi said. “As
we commemorate the
Quit India movement led
by Mahatma Gandhi, let
us not forget the price
that millions of our
countrymen and women
paid for India’s freedom.
Let us renew our resolve
to defend it and protect it
with all our might,” she
said. “When the country
under the Congress
leadership was engaged
in a decisive struggle
against the British, the
RSS not only boycotted
the movement but also
actively supported the
British,” the Congress
said on itsTwitter handle.
Bengaluru: Calling RSS an “association of upper castes”,
senior Karnataka Congress leader Siddaramaiah called the
government’s ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign a “drama”, and
PM Modi a “great dramatist”. The former CM questioned
BJP’s and RSS’ contribution to India’s freedom struggle
and alleged they had opposed the national flag, anthem and
the Constitution. “How can they be patriots?” he asked. “I
have been opposing RSS from the beginning as it is just an
association of upper castes, that’s the reason they believe
in ‘Chaturvarna’ system. Chaturvarna system believes in the
supremacy of upper castes; if that continues, there will be
inequality which may in turn lead to exploitation,” he said.
Srinagar: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday said
opposition parties in the country were not up against just
the BJP but an authoritarian government that is weaponis-
ing state institutions to ensure an opposition-free India.”The
predicament Nitish Kumar opposition parties find
themselves in isn’t just because they are facing BJP. Instead,
they are facing the might of an authoritarian government
that’s weaponising every agency be it NIA, ED, CBI etc to
ensure an opposition-free India,” Mehbooba tweeted. She
said for Jammu and Kashmir, the damage is not restricted
to only political parties. It is far worse as the state has been
butchered and disempowered unconstitutionally.
New Delhi: Indian Youth

cation with which Youth

Dr Rituraj Sharma
Jaipur: The Ashok Ge-
hlot led Cong Govt may
be in a “feel good” mood
by reviving old pension
scheme (OPS) for gov-
ernment employees,
but a different kind of
disappointment is
building among govt
employees due to re-
peated extension of ten-
ure of committees
formed for the removal
of anomalies in pay
.
The State Govt has
extended the tenure of
Khemraj Committee for
the third time.
Former CM Vasund-
hara Raje led BJP govt
had formed the Pay
Anomaly Redressal
Committee on Nov 3,
2017. The committee
was chaired by former
CS DC Samant.
Tenure of Samant Com-
mittee was extended
four times on May 8,
2018, August 8, 2018, De-
cember 31, 2018 and
July 4, 2019.
The committee gave
its report on August 5,
2019. However, report
was not made public.
After Samant, anoth-
er committee headed by
IAS officer Khemraj
was constituted on Au-
gust 5, 2021.
Its tenure was ex-
tended for 3 months on
Nov 1, 2021. Then on Feb
3, 2022, it was extended
for 6 months and now
on August 5 the tenure
extended till Dec 31,
2022. Repeated exten-
sion of tenure before
election is creating im-
pression that state govt
is lingering on the is-
sue.
When will pay anomalies be redressed?

SC upholds acquittal of

New Delhi (PTI): It is

said while upholding
the acquittal of a man
who was accused of

The Apex Court dis-

Sept 2009 judgement of
the HC which had ac-
quitted the accused
while reversing the tri-

“The scope of inter-

is found that the view
taken by the court is
impossible or perverse,
it is not permissible to
interfere with the find-
ing of acquittal,” a

required for such pro-
jects,” he tweeted.
“In the past, Ra-
jasthan also didn’t ob-
ject to projects con-
structed by MP on the
Chambal and tributar-
ies like this,” he said.
“Similarly, MP’s co-
operation is expected
on the ERCP,” Gehlot
added.

Highways Minister Ni-
tin Gadkari about an
elevated road to be built
in Jodhpur. He said the
work on the road has
been handed over to the

thority of India (NHAI).
I am happy that ac-

experts say that the number of pillars can vary according to
the load bearing capacity of the ground.

OUTFIT IDEAS
OUTFIT IDEAS
RAKSHA
RAKSHA
BANDHAN!
FOR
FOR
It can be tedious to
choose the right
outfits when it
comes to festivals!
So, City First brings
to you categories of
clothes that
perfectly radiate the
festive vibes of
Raksha Bandhan
estivals are a
respite from
the hectic
schedules of
daily life
where one can
go traditional
and get decked up for a
change. Therefore, fes-
tivals are mandatory
occasions to try stylish
ethnic wear that one
does not wear daily.
They bring with them
special moments as
well as the re-establish-
ment of social bonds.
Hence, it is important
to maintain a wonder-
ful wardrobe plan
amidst all the festivi-
ties. Here are some out-
fits that one can try this
Raksha Bandhan:
ETHNIC WEAR IN
PASTEL COLOURS
Ethnic wear offers
a great variety of pat-
terns, prints, designs
and colours. Ethnic
wear in the colour
palette of gentle pastels
such as pink, blush
pinks and pastel yellow
never gets outdated.
Lehenga, Kurti, palaz-
zo, etc in pastel tint
suits all skin tones and
can make one seem
spectacular.
SILK OUTFITS
Silk is a rich fabric
which is produced by
the silkworm. It is
widely used to make
clothing and accesso-
ries. A bright silk le-
henga choli and salwar
suit make a style state-
ment among people.
CHIKANKARI
ATTIRES
Chikankari offers the
most tranquil attires
for any celebration. It
has a lot of options
from dark to light col-
ours in different de-
signs and patterns. It
provides a great mix of
elegance and sass.
ANARKALI
It is the best style to
represent festive cheer.
It looks great on any
body type given its An-
grakha Kurti to knee-
length suit. It has a
combination of classic,
modern, and fashiona-
ble looks.
FUSION OUTFITS
Fusion outfits have tex-
tures, designs and sil-
houettes that distin-
guish themselves from
traditional clothes.
They give a combined
vibe of fashion and cul-
ture.
SHARARA
It is an elegant outfit
with a modern twist
which enhances style.
The distinct nature
given to its vivid col-
ours makes it suitable
for Raksha Bandhan.
ORGANZA OUTFITS
Organza is a sturdy
fabric that has a
silky appearance.
Organza has been a
popular fabric for
its subtlety and deli-
cateness. It has be-
comeatrendamong
women.
FLORAL PRINTS
Floral patterns have
garnered exponential
popularity recently.
They never fail to ap-
pear attractive. They
are visually comforting
and graceful to carry
.

aapsee Pannu is currently gearing
for the release of her mystery
drama film, Dobaaraa. Recently,
the actress attended a promotion-
al event for her upcoming film Dobaaraa
at Mithibai College in Mumbai.
Taapsee is seen arriving at the ven-
ue and immediately rushing inside
instead of giving the paparazzi a few
minutes to take pictures of her. Lat-
er, she got into an argument with
the paparazzi outside the venue
after they requested her to stop
for photographs, and the ac-
tress tried to clarify that she
followed the instructions that
were given to her according
to which they would have
been waiting inside. Later,
when the photographers
told her they have been
waiting for two hours, she
said, “Yaar daant kyun
rahe ho? Isme meri kya
galti hai? Mereko kyun
sunaa rahe ho?”

puppy to say hi, but he
seems in no mood to
interact. The ac-
tress shared a
couple of photos with
her dog, which she
captioned, “Happy
Friendship Day to the
ones who give us un-
conditional love and
show us what real
trustandlovemeans!”

are still coming and asking me, ‘Who are
you dating? What is your personal life?”
“You (people) can talk s**t about us,
you can say negative things about it. Be-
cause in the end, we are public figures.
We can’t choose just the good bits, think-
ing people just focus on work and not
personal life. So, they are free to talk
about anything, just don’t come to a
conclusion. Till the time you hear
from me, that is not true”.
