SC to hear Jain’s plea against HC order today
New Delhi (PTI): The
Supreme Court Monday
said it will hear on
Tuesday a plea filed by
Delhi minister Satyen-
dar Jain challenging
the Delhi High Court
verdict dismissing his
petition against a lower
court order to transfer
the money laundering
case, in which he is un-
der arrest, to another
court.
The matter was men-
tioned for urgent listing
before a bench of Chief
Justice U U Lalit and
Justice S R Bhat, which
said it will be heard to-
morrow. On October 1,
the high court had dis-
missed Jain’s plea, say-
ing all facts were duly
considered by the Prin-
cipal District and Ses-
sions Judge while
transferring the case,
which is being probed
by the Enforcement Di-
rectorate (ED), and it
cannot be held that the
decision suffered from
any illegality or needed
interference. Jain had
moved the high court
challenging the Septem-
ber 23 order of Princi-
pal District and Ses-
sions Judge Vinay Ku-
mar Gupta transferring
the money laundering
case to another judge
over alleged bias.

IMPLICATED IN BOGUS CASES: KEJRIWAL
New Delhi: CM Arvind Kejriwal on Monday claimed that
minister Satyendar Jain has been implicated in false cases
after the High Court closed proceedings against Jain under
the amended benami transactions law in consonance with
a Supreme Court ruling. The HC order came while hearing
a batch of petitions by Jain and others against the initiation
of proceedings under the Benami Transactions (Prohibition)
Amendment Act, 2016. In August, SC had held that the
2016 Act did not have retrospective application and the
authorities cannot initiate or continue criminal prosecution
or confiscation proceedings for transactions entered into
prior to the coming into force of the legislation.

New Delhi (PTI): Rains
brought the mercury
down on Monday morn-
ing with the minimum
temperature settling at
19.2 degrees Celsius,
two notches below the
season’s average, even
as traffic snarls were re-
ported from across the
national capital due to
waterlogging.
Delhi recorded 21.8
mm of rainfall till 8.30
am this morning.
Rains over the last
couple of days have not
only brought the mer-
cury down but have also
thrown a spanner in the
vehicular traffic.
On Monday morning,
commuters going
through ITO, DND,
Barapullah, Mukarba
Chowk, Noida gate bat-
tled intractable jams.
The air quality at 9.05
am read 41, which was
in the good category
.
An AQI between zero
and 50 is considered
‘’good’’, 51 and 100 ‘’sat-
isfactory’’, 101 and 200
‘’moderate’’, 201 and 300
‘’poor’’, 301 and 400
‘’very poor’’, and 401
and 500 ‘’severe’’.
The weatherman has
forecast a generally
cloudy sky with the pos-
sibility of light rain.
The maximum tem-
perature is likely to
settle around 24 de-
grees Celsius.
A sustained spell of
rain on Sunday brought
a significant improve-
ment in air quality in
the capital, yielding the
second “good” air day
of the year, according to
Central Pollution Con-
trol Board (CPCB) data.
The 24-hour average
air quality index in the
city was 48 at 4 pm. It
was 56 on Saturday and
55 on Friday
.
The national capital
has recorded 128 days
of bad air quality (AQI
is poor, very poor or se-
vere) this year so far,
the highest since 2017,
when it saw 130 such
days during the corre-
sponding period.
Delhi received 74 mm
of rainfall in 24 hours
ending 8.30 am, the sec-
ond highest rainfall in a
single day since 2007,

ment’s data.

The rainfall so far this
month is around three
times the precipitation
recorded (41.6 mm) in
August, which is the
wettest month of the
monsoon season. The
national capital received
122.5 mm of rainfall in

of rainfall in October.
The city did not receive
any rain in October
2020, 2018 and 2017
and logged 47.3 mm of
rainfall in October 2019.
The rainfall over the
last three days is the
second prolonged spell
within three weeks. The
capital had logged a late
spell of monsoon rains
from September 21 to
September 24 due to an
interaction between a
cyclonic circulation and
a low-pressure system.
However, the current
rains in Delhi are not
monsoon showers,
which receded from
the city on September
29 after giving 516.9
mm of rainfall against
a normal of 653.6

BJP slams AAP for calling
Modi ‘lowly person’, calls it
insult to Guj, all former PMs
New Delhi (PTI):
The BJP on Monday
slammed AAP over a
derogatory remark
purportedly made by
its Gujarat unit chief
against Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi,
saying that it is an
“insult to the demo-
cratic process of In-
dia and the state.”
BJP’s IT cell in-charge
Amit Malviya had on
Sunday shared a vid-
eo on Twitter where
Gopal Italia, AAP’s
Gujarat convener, can
be heard calling PM
Modi “neech aadmi”
(a lowly person).
It has been reported
that the video is from
2019 and was made
during the run-up to
the general elections.
Addressing a press
conference at the BJP
headquarters on Mon-
day, party spokesper-
son Sambit Patra said
the kind of language
used by the Aam Aad-
mi Party (AAP) for
Prime Minister “ex-
poses AAP and shows
what is their inten-
tion.” Asserting that
no Prime Minister
can be called “neech
admi”, as “all Prime
Ministers are demo-
cratically elected.
And calling them
neech aadmi (lowly
person) is an insult to
democratic process of
India … parliamenta-
ry process of the
country
.” Stating that
AAP will face the
same fate as Congress
did after its leader
Mani Shankar Aiyar
used the same invec-
tive for Modi, Patra
said, “Prime Minister
Modi hails from Guja-
rat and using such re-
marks against him is
an insult of Gujarat
too.” “Everyone has
seen the condition of
Congress in the entire
country
. Arvind Kejri-
wal is using the exact
same language today
,”
he said.
BJP spokesman Sambit Patra said the kind of language used
by the AAP for PM shows their intentions.
New Delhi (PTI): The AAP has alleged that
the BJP-led Municipal Corporation of Delhi
has sent notices to shopkeepers in the city's
industrial areas asking them to pay unjusti-
fied conversion charge, failing which their
establishments will be sealed and penalties
imposed. This is an attempt by the BJP to ex-
tort money from businessmen, Aam Aadmi
Party (AAP) leader Durgesh Pathak told a
press conference. Thousands of such notices
have been sent to businessmen across Delhi
demanding payment of conversion charge
which ranges from ₹ 1-5 crore, he said and
showed a copy of a notice served by the
Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on the
owner of a furniture shop. For the past one
week, BJP leaders and their officers (MCD
officials) are threatening businessmen with
sealing of shops and penalties if they do not
pay conversion charge, the MLA from Rajen-
dra Nagar alleged and warned the BJP that
if you seal any of shop, you will have to face
a lot of difficulties. There was no immediate
reaction from the BJP or the MCD to the AAP
leader's claims and allegations.

“Ten women had ac-

Chandigarh (PTI): Al-
leging that the AAP
government in Punjab
promised minimum
support price (MSP) for
only moong and maize
and that too failed to de-
liver on it, the Shiroma-
ni Akali Dal (SAD) has
asked AAP convener
Arvind Kejriwal not to
tell white lies to befool
farmers in Gujarat in
the run-up to the assem-
bly elections there.
In a statement, for-
mer minister and Akali
leader Daljit Singh
Cheema said it was
shocking that Kejriwal
was claiming in Guja-
rat that the AAP gov-
ernment in Punjab was
giving minimum sup-
port price on five crops
and that the same for-
mula would be replicat-
ed in Gujarat.
The truth is that the
central government is
procuring wheat and
paddy on MSP in Punjab
through the Food Corpo-
ration of India. Similar-
ly
, the Cotton Corpora-
tion of India procures
cotton.CM Bhagwant
Mann had urged farm-
ers to sow moong and
promised to procure the
entire crop on an MSP
of Rs 7,250 per quintal
but did not even pro-
cure ten per cent of this
crop. The Punjab gov-
ernment has similarly
failedtoprocuremaize,
he alleged.
Asking Kejriwal not
to give false hopes to
farmers of Gujarat,
Cheema said the farm-
ers should come to Pun-
jab and see the ground
reality for themselves.
The truth is that
farmersareindebtedbe-
cause they believed the
AAP government and
went in for large scale
cultivation of maize and
moong, he said.
The SAD leader said
far from giving MSP on
all crops, the Punjab
government had still
not given compensation
to farmers whose crops
had been damaged due
to untimely rains.

New Delhi (PTI):
Delhi CM Arvind Ke-
jriwal on Monday
said his government
will waive late fee on
outstanding water
bills till December 31.
He also said 85 mil-
lion gallons of sew-
age from Keshopur
and Najafgarh will be
cleaned before it
flows into the Najaf-
garh drain.
This, according to
the CM, is expected to
reduce the pollution
load in the Yamuna
by 30%.The govern-
ment has taken a big
decision to provide
relief to the people of
Delhi from the out-
standing water bills.
Latefee(latepayment
surcharge) on out-
standing water bills
will be waived 100 per
cent till December 31,
2022, Kejriwal said
in a series of tweets
in Hindi.
Sewage pumping
stations of 55 MGD
cumulative capacity
will be built on Badli,
Nigam Bodh and
Mori Gate drains.
The dirty water of
these drains will not
go into the Yamuna,
he said. The Yamuna
enters Delhi at Palla
in the north and
leaves at Jaitpur in
the south, traversing
a length of 48 km.
Twenty-two drains
carrying domestic
wastewater and in-
dustrial effluent fall
into the Yamuna be-
tween Wazirabad and
Okhla. Though the
22-km stretch is less
than 2 per cent of the
river length, it ac-
counts for about 80
per cent of the pollu-
tion in the river.

payment surcharge

Over 20 drains carrying domestic wastewater industrial

New Delhi (PTi): Chief

ernment has ended the

Kejriwal also claimed
that the government
has saved around Rs 125
crore in the award of
work for the 1.4-km-long
flyover in east Delhi.
Addressing a gather-
ing, Kejriwal said that
there used to be a step
motherly treatment to
east Delhi area in terms
of development works,
but in the last seven
years the AAP govern-
ment has ended that
trend. “We have ended
this step motherly treat-
ment to east Delhi. Now,

opment works are tak-
ing place in east Delhi
as are in other parts of

New Delhi: Delhi re-
ported as many as 321
cases of dengue last
week, a reduction of 91
since last week when
412 cases were report-
ed, according to offi-
cials of the MCD Mon-
day. Municipal Corpo-
ration of Delhi offi-
cials said while the
number of dengue
cases has gone down, it
cannot be said they
have reached a peak.
“We cannot say any-
thing at the moment
and it there are condi-
tions for breeding cases
but for now a plateau of
cases can also be seen
from next month,” said
an MCD official.
According to MCD
officials, with the tem-
perature going down
because of the rain,
the cases are unlikely
to rise. “There are
three important fac-
tors for the breeding—
rainfall, temperature
and humidity. Since
humidity is not there
because of the rain
cooling down the envi-
ronment, the breeding
is expected to de-
crease,” said a senior
MCD official.
According to the civ-
ic body’s report, other
than the 321 cases re-
ported last week, 99
were acquired from
other states and in 120
cases, hospitals did not
provide the address of
the patients.
The highest number
of cases were reported
from South District
with 28 patients. As
many as 1,258 dengue
cases have been report-
ed this year, so far.
To tackle mosquito
breeding, the munici-
pal corporation has
formed WhatsApp
groups for the redres-
sal of complaints. The
MCD has also roped in
school children in its
fight against the vec-
tor-borne disease.

New Delhi (PTI): An
FIR has been filed
against the organisers
of an event where some
speakers allegedly had
made some hate speech-
es, Delhi Police said on
Monday
.
VHP
,oneof theorgan-
isers rubbished the

said policemen were de-
ployed at the event in
Dilshad Garden.
An FIR has been reg-
istered against the or-

188 (disobedience to or-
derdulypromulgatedby
public servant) for not
taking permission from
police, said Deputy
Commissioner of Police
(Shahadra) R Sathi-
yasundaram.
The event was organ-
ised by several Hindu
right outfits, including
the Vishva Hindu Pari-
shad. Its spokesperson
Vinod Bansal said it was
laughable that police
was saying no permis-
sion taken for the pro-
gramme in which thou-
sands were present, in-
cludingthepolice,which
was deployed there.
Let alone permis-

at Ramleela Ground in

Delhi BJP MP
Parvesh Verma courted
controversy on Sunday
after he allegedly called
for total boycott of a

northeast Delhi.
Manish (19) was
stabbed to death in
Sundar Nagri earlier
this month. Police have
arrested all the accused
in the case -- Aalam, Bi-
lal and Faizan -- and
have said they killed the
youth in an old rivalry
.
In a purported video
of the event, Verma
could be heard saying,
Wherever you find
them, there is only one
way to straighten them
out -- total boycott. Do
you agree with me?

New Delhi (PTI): The Vishva Hindu Parishad in
a protest meet here demanded compensation of
Rs 1 crore for the kin of a 21-year-old man who
was stabbed to death by a group of men recently
in northeast Delhi. According to a statement
released by VHP's Delhi unit president Kapil
Khanna on Sunday, the RSS-affiliate submit-
ted a six-point memorandum to LG VK Saxena,
demanding security and a job for a member of
the victim's family. The VHP also threatened to
launch a big movement if its demands were not
met. According to the police, Manish was stabbed
to death by a group of men in full public view in
northeast Delhi's Sunder Nagri area on October
1. The police arrested three people the next day
and said Manish was killed following an old rivalry
with the accused that arose out of a past criminal
case. A year ago, Manish had got an FIR regis-
tered against them and two of them were arrested
and sent to jail, a senior police officer had said.
In a tweet on October 2, the Delhi Police also said
the matter was not communal and had appealed
to the public to not give credence to rumours,
noting that some people were spreading mislead-
ing facts on social media. Family of late Manish
should be immediately given a compensation of
Rs 1 crore and arrangements should be made to
provide a job to any one member of his family,
the VHP demanded in its memorandum to the LG.
It also demanded that Manish's family members
be provided security. The Hindu Mahasabha
(protest meet) was organised at the Ramleela
ground in Janta Flats GTB Nagar in protest against
murder of Manish on October 1, the Delhi VHP
said in its statement.

MSY CHANGED UP’S POLITICAL CONTOUR
amajwadi Par-
ty patriarch
Mulayam Singh
Yadav, who
passed away at
the age of 82, will always be
remembered for his astute-
ness which changed the
political landscape of Uttar
Pradesh. The wrestler
from Saifai, his village in
Etawah, spearheaded the
movement to bring back-
ward classes into the main-
stream of state politics in
the Nineties. When the
Ram Janmabhoomi move-
ment began to peak he took
the BJP head-on and went
to the extent of ordering
police firing on kar sevaks
gathered in Ayodhya in
1990 in which several were
killed. That single incident
led to the gradual margin-
alisation of Congress and
rise of the BJP in the Hindi
heartland as caste and reli-
gious politics took root.
The Ayodhya movement
gave Mulayam the politi-
cal opportunity to endear
himself to Muslims as
their protector and well-
wisher. His socialist image
and Muslim-Yadav combi-
nation helped him become
the chief minister of UP
three times beginning in
1989 when Congress was
voted out.
Mulayam Singh Yadav
was a politician of the old
school and maintained cor-
dialrelationswithhispoliti-
cal rivals across the aisle.
Ironically
, Bahujan Samaj
PartyleaderMayawatiprob-
ably became the only excep-
tion to the rule. In 1991 Mu-
layam had helped Kanshi
Ram win the Lok Sabha by-
electionfromEtawahforthe
Dalit leader’s foray in na-
tional politics for a future
OBC—Dalit—Muslim com-
bination. After Mulayam
formed the Samajwadi Par-
ty in 1992, he joined hands
withKanshiRamtosuccess-

naut in 1993. The infamous

he demise of Mulayam
Singh Yadav is the end of
an era of politics. He was a
genuine person with a very
kind heart. I believe this,
understandingthewarmth
of a relationship, he was a
rare person to take care of
the relationship diligently
.
I do not remember when I
first met him, but from the
early days of politics, I had
a close relationship with
him.Lateron,thisrelation-
ship deepened and went on
getting absorbed in deep
meanings of love and re-
spect. We may have always
been separate under the
political parties, but the af-
fectionandloveandrespect
that he gave, can never be
forgotten. I remember he
also suffered a lot during
the emergency and was put
in jail. After the formation
of Bharatiya Janata Party
,
the National Democratic
Front of BJP and Lok Dal
was formed in Uttar
Pradesh. Its President was
Mulayam Singh Yadav and
I was the General Secre-
tary
. We worked together
on many levels. While in
politics, I also felt closely
that not only did he have a
geographicalandsocialun-
derstanding of Uttar
Pradesh, but his political
vision was also very broad.
I also saw an attachment in
his mind for the workers
from the very beginning.
Even during elections, he
used to interact with them
everynowandthenanddur-
ing this discussion new av-
enueswerealwaysopened.I
also constantly felt his deep
attachment to nationalism.
Many times I used to jok-
ingly tell him that you
should have been in our
party
, and he used to laugh.
Hedidnotsayanything,but
I know that on many levels
his vision was related to the
cultural concerns of the na-
tion and society
.
There are very few grass-
roots leaders in politics at
this time, and hence they
are remembered even more
in such times. He was a tru-
ly grassroots leader who
connected with the masses.
Not everyone called him
‘Netaji’fornothing,theybe-
lieved he had amazing lead-
ership qualities and took
everyonealong.Thatiswhy
everyone was also ready to
work under his leadership.
Remember,whenMayawati
ji was the Chief Minister in
Uttar Pradesh, I used to be
the Minister of Public
Works Department there at
thattime.InEtawah,wegot
the buildings made by the
Public Works Department.
In those days an All India
Conference of the Sama-
jwadi Party was going to be
heldthere.Hehadcalledme
and requested to provide
those buildings to the peo-
ple coming to the confer-
ence and make some other
minorarrangements.There
was no question of not ac-
cepting his request. I per-
sonally went there and
made arrangements imme-
diately after asking my
principal secretary
. I re-
member whenever he met,
he used to mention it. Al-
thoughitwasnotsuchabig
deal,butitwashispersonal-
ity that if anyone cooperat-
ed at some level, he would
never forget it.
In Uttar Pradesh, when I
wasaministerinthePublic
Works Department, once
duringthebudgetspeechin
the House, a Samajwadi
Party MLA spoke some
rudewordsaboutmewhich
were far from the truth. I
too had resigned then for
the sake of my reputation.
I remember Mulayam Sin-
ghjicalledmeimmediately
and said that I should not
have resigned directly on
this matter. He also repri-
manded the MLA of his
party in strong words. He
publicly said that talking
like this about Kalraj ji is
against the dignity of a
chaste person like him.
He was very much above
party politics and for peo-
ple who were close to him,
he would not think twice
before doing anything,
even if it was beyond the
party line. There are many
other such incidents with
him in which I gave him
some advice politically
and he accepted it without
thinking. Rather, at times
he used to discuss with me,
even when he had to make
some big decisions under
his own team. I remember
that he never even forgot
my birthday! Wherever I
would have been, but he
would not take rest until
he found me on the phone
and congratulated me. I
wonder, where is the per-
son who maintains such
relationships and under-
stands the dignity of rela-
tionships! I also accept
thatwhenhewastheChief
Minister, whenever he was
told any kind of work, he
did it immediately and he
accepted my opinion, my
words even at such levels
which no one can think of.
He was deeply interested
in the development of vil-
lages and in the upliftment
of the poor. Along with the
expansionof basicfacilities
in the villages, he was also
closely engrossed with the
traditional life there. Per-
sonally
, his relations with
thepeopleweresodeepthat
even if his party leaders
joined any party later, they
never broke ties with him.
So many memories and an-
ecdotes of him are still
flashing in my mind at this
time. I believe that the inti-
macy and affinity that re-
mained with him is an in-
valuable asset of my life.
Hisdemisehasleftavoid
which can never be filled.
His merging into infinity
means going away of a per-
son who has followed the
principles and dignity of
relationships. His absence
is a personal void that will
never be filled.

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: Arvind Ke-
jriwal once staged a
road dharna in front of
Rail Bhawan in Lu-
tyens’ Delhi. He had
been on a dharna in
front of Rail Bhavan
with his party leaders
during the night in cold
weather. Then he called
himself an anarchist.
However, later his atti-
tude changed after con-
testing elections, win-
ning and forming the
government in Delhi.
He had stopped calling
himself an anarchist
and started talking
about the system of the
constitution. Now again
he has started a bid to
create chaos and not
only is he making state-
ments indiscriminately
,
at the same time he and
other leaders of her
party have also started
ignoring the Constitu-
tion and the traditions
of democratic politics.
Recently there have
been two incidents in
which he and his party
insulted the President
by not following the pro-
tocol attached to the
President. As per tradi-
tion, on October 2, on
Gandhi Jayanti, the
Chief Minister and
Lieutenant Governor of
Delhi have to be present
and welcome the Presi-
dent. This time Kejriwal
was absent from the
program. His Deputy
Chief Minister Manish
Sisodia did arrive but
he also did not stop to
welcome the President.
When the Lieutenant
Governor wrote a letter
about this, Kejriwal did
not feel the need to reply
to the metter.
The second incident
is from Chandigarh,
where President Drau-
padi Murmu had ar-
rived to take part in the
parade on the occasion
of Air Force Day. The
President was to be wel-
comed before the Air
Force parade, for which
Chief Minister Bhag-
want Mann was invited
from the Raj Bhavan. He
also accepted the invita-
tion but he did not come
to attend the ceremony
.
Instead he went to Guja-
rat to campaign for his
party. On October 2, on
the occasion of Gandhi
Jayanti, Kejriwal had
gone to Gujarat for cam-
paigning. Moreover, the
kind of language Kejri-
wal has used for the
Delhi and opposition
parties is also no less
objectionable.
Is ‘petty politics’ the new political ideology of Kejriwal?

losses and settled 4 paise
lower at a fresh lifetime
low of 82.34 (provisional)
against the US dollar on

, down 4 paise over
its previous close.
On Friday, the rupee had
depreciated by 13 paise to
close at 82.30.
“The Indian rupee pared
opening losses on possible
central bank intervention
and corporate inflows...
lower crude oil prices also
supported the rupee in to-
day’s session,” said Dilip
Parmar, Research Analyst,

However, the directional
trend remains bearish for
the rupee amid tighter li-
quidity conditions and
risk-averse sentiments,
Parmar said, adding, “Spot

term resistance at 82.90
and support at 81.95.”

PMO, Space and Atomic
Energy, on Monday
.
The minister, while
speaking at the India

the occasion of the first

said, “The revolutionary
and out of box decision of
PM Modi to unlock the
Space sector for Private

changed the very nature of

.”

AGAINST U.S. DOLLAR
LARGE INDIAN
LENDERS SHUN
RUPEE MECHANISM
IN RUSSIA TRADE
Mumbai (Agencies):
Large Indian lenders are
reluctant to process direct
rupee trade transactions
with Russia months after
the mechanism was put in
place for fear of becoming
the target of sanctions by
the United States and Eu-
rope over the invasion of
Ukraine, sources said.
Two smaller lenders
have moved to adopt the
system after the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) said in
July that it had set up an
arrangement for interna-
tional trade settlements in
rupees with immediate ef-
fect. But bigger lenders
with more exposure to the
international financial sys-
tem, and in particular the
dollar, are worried their
businesses could be dis-
rupted if targeted by sanc-
tions.
Western sanctions to
punish Russia for its inva-
sion of Ukraine are trying
to limit Moscow’s access to
foreign exchange, particu-
larly the dollar. India has
deep trade ties with Russia,
and the rupee mechanism
can help bypass the US dol-
lar and the euro for settle-
ments.
An Indian diplomat in
Russia said Russian banks
had reached out to eight
large Indian counterparts
to set up rupee trade settle-
ments, but the Indian
banks had not responded.

each died in Uttar
Pradesh’s Amethi and
Pratapgarh when the
wall of their thatched
houses collapsed follow-
ing heavy rainfall,

by the relief commis-
sioner’s office, at pre-
sent more than 650 vil-
lages in 16 districts are
affected by floods, im-

5.8 lakh people.
Amethi’s Jamo police
station SHO Akhilesh
Gupta on Monday said
the wall of Ram Sanjee-
van’s (37) house col-
lapsed late on Sunday
night, leading to his
death. He added that
since Ram Sanjeevan’s
house is located on the
village outskirts, peo-
ple came to know about
it late. The dead was
staying alone in his
house. In Pratapgarh
district, Dilip Singh (30)
of Rehua Lalganj vil-
lage died early on Mon-
day morning. His cous-
in was seriously injured
in the incident, Udaipur

vijay Singh said.

taken to a government
hospital in Sangipur,
where Dilip succumbed
to his injuries.
The bodies have been
