Great men belong to nation, not to caste : Yogi
First India Bureau
Lucknow: “A nation
that forgets its history
and traditions cannot
protect its geography.
Bhoj’s life was dedicat-
ed to preserving India’s
glorious past and na-
tional prestige. Simi-
larly, today’s India has
risen above caste and
community politics in
national interest. We
don’t discriminate
among people on the ba-
sis of caste and commu-
nity. Our priority is de-
velopment, irrespective
of caste of creed,” CM
Yogi Adityanath said on
Wednesday at Dadri
where he unveiled a
statue of Mihir Bhoj, a
ninth-century king.
He said that great
men belong to the na-
tion and not to any caste
or community
. “Taliban
reminds us of those for-
eign invaders who force-
fully entered India and
played havoc with our
rich culture and history
.
Unfortunately
, there are
people within India that
support Taliban. We
have to guard against
this mindset for the hon-
our of our daughters
and sisters,” the CM re-
marked. CM Yogi said
that Raja Bhoj believed
in nationalism and it
was because of the
sense of security given
by him to the people of
the country that foreign
invaders did not attack
India for one-and-a-half
centuries after his rule.

Taliban wants to address UN,names representative
United Nations: The
Taliban, Afghanistan’s
new rulers for a matter
of weeks, are challeng-
ing the credentials of
their country’s former
UN ambassador and
wanttospeakattheGen-
eral Assembly’s high-
level meeting of world
leaders this week, the
international body says.
The question now fac-
ing UN officials comes
just over a month after
the Taliban, ejected
from Afghanistan by
the United States and its
allies after 9/11, swept
back into power as US
forces prepared to with-
draw from the country
at the end of August.
UN spokesman
Stephane Dujarric said
Secretary-General An-
tonio Guterres received
a communication on
September 15 from the
currently accredited Af-
ghan Ambassador, Ghu-
lam Isaczai, with the list
of Afghanistan’sdelega-
tion for the assembly’s
76th annual session.
The Taliban said it
was nominating a new
UN permanent repre-
sentative, Mohammad
Suhail Shaheen, the UN
spokesman said.
Meanwhile, Special
envoys of China, Rus-
sia, and Pakistan met
officials of the interim
Taliban government as
well as Afghan leader
Hamid Karzai in Kabul
and discussed the for-
mation of an inclusive
government, combating
terrorism, and handling

New Delhi: Before
leaving for United
States on Wednes-
day morning, Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi said that his visit
was an “occasion to
strengthen strategic
partnership with the
US and consolidate
ties with Japan and
Australia.” PM will be
attending the first in-
person Quad leaders’
summit and will also
be meeting with US
President Joe Biden for
the first time since he
assumed office earlier
this year. “During my
visit to the US between
September 22-25, I will
review India-US Stra-
tegic Partnership with
President Joe Biden,”
PM Modi said. Refer-
ring to his first meet
with Vice President
Kamala Harris, PM
said he was “looking
forward” to the talks to
explore opportunities
for cooperation. PM
Modi is accompanied
by a high-level delega-
tion including External
Affairs Minister S
Jaishankar and Na-
tional Security Advisor
Ajit Doval. PM Modi’s
flight to US avoided
Afghanistan while
Pakistan gave nod for

Meanwhile, PM Modi
congratulated Canadian

UK: PROBLEM IS
VAX CERTIFICATE
New Delhi: Covishield
is now an approved vac-
cine on the UK’s revised
norms for travel after a
furious India warned of
“reciprocal measures”,
but double-vaccinated
Indians still have to
quarantine because of
“vaccination certification
issues”, said UK officials.
Officials have implied the
problem is not Covishield
but doubts over vaccine
certification in India.
AFTER INDIA PROTESTS, UK ADDS
COVISHIELD TO APPROVED VAX LIST
London: The United Kingdom Wednesday added Cov-
ishield to its list of approved Covid-19 vaccines for travel
to the country. However, there is confusion over the UK
government’s vaccine recognition process for Indian
travellers as even though Covishield is on an updated
international travel advisory, India is not yet on a list of 17
approved countries. The UK’s Department of Health and
Social Care (DHSC) has said on Wednesday that they are
unable to confirm this and will require further clarifica-
tions even though the advisory states, “Formulations of
the 4 listed vaccines, such as AstraZeneca Covishield,
AstraZeneca Vaxzevria and Moderna Takeda.”

seasonal Hindus. The
people who ordered
firing at devotees are
now talking of build-
ing temples, he said.
Those who caned
seers are now tender-
ing apologies to them
with folded hands, he
added. A temple will be
rebuilt whereever
mosques have been
constructed after de-
molishing them, he
said.
Hindustan belongs to

YOGI WARNS AGAINST ISLAMIC EXTREMISM
Supporting Taliban is anti-India, anti-humanity, says CM Yogi Adityanath after laying foundation of projects worth `342 cr in Hapur
Lucknow: Supporting
the Taliban means sup-
porting anti-India, anti-
humanity, anti-women
and anti-children acts,
Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister Yogi Adity-
anath said on Wednes-
day, cautioning people
to be wary of sympa-
thisers of the Islamic
extremist group.
He made the remarks
while addressing a pub-
lic event in Dholana as-
sembly area of western
UP’s Hapur district,
where he inaugurated
and laid foundation
stones for projects
worth around Rs 340
crore.
“You must have seen
that Prime Minister
Narendra Modi is lead-
ing the country towards
a new India Ek Bharat
Shreshth Bharat’. Fol-
lowing suit, UP is also
transforming and be-
coming a new model for
development, good gov-
ernance and security
.
“But still, there are
some elements who do
not like India’s develop-
ment. Somewhere, they
try to create hurdles in
the country’s develop-
ment path. We need to
identify such people
who support the cruelty
of Taliban, the Uttar
Pradesh Chief Minister
said.
Taliban had taken
over power in Afghani-
stan a month ago in a
dramatic turn of events
even before the US
could completely pull
out its troops from the
two-decade-old war the-
atre”, said Yogi. —PTI

‘Won’t spare those playing with women’s dignity’
Lucknow: Chief Min-
ister Yogi on Tuesday
said if someone plays
with the dignity of
women, he will meet
the same fate as that of
Duryodhan and Dush-
ashan in Mahabharat,
and asserted that strict
action will be taken
against those involved
in supporting anti-In-
dia activities.
He also described the
Samajwadi Party (SP)
as “anti-women, anti-
Dalit, anti-backward,
anti-Hindu and anti-
children”.
Yogi said, “Earlier,
our sisters and daugh-
ters were not able to
go to schools as goons
could play with their
dignity. If someone
plays with the dignity
of our sisters and
daughters today, he
will meet the same
fate as that of Duryo-
dhan and Dush-
ashan.”
Yogi also inaugurat-
ed and laid the founda-
tion of 62 schemes
worth Rs 275 crore, and
also handed over cer-
tificates to the benefi-
ciaries of various
schemes.
“Sambhal has a his-
toric past, but it is sad
that there people in
Sambhal who are sup-
porting Taliban. SP is

formal announcement
in this regard will be

The AIMIM had re-
cently announced that
it would contest 100
seats in the assembly
polls next year by tying
up with Rajbhar-led
SBSP and its Bhagidari

Lucknow: As many as
eight antique idols of
Ram, Janki, Lakshman

Khapdeeh area in Bika-
pur here, police said on

Police sources here
said that a police team

have interrogated the
priest of the temple
about the incident and
it has been learnt that
there were nine idols
in the temple but the
thieves left one of
them behind.
The thieves did not
touch the rock idols and
instead took away eight
antique idols made of
alloyed (ashtdhatu) , po-
lice sources said.
Sobhnath Tewari, the
priest of the temple,
said he found the lock
of the main gate broken
and the idols missing.
He informed police im-
mediately
.
Earlier, idols of Ram,
Janki, Lakshman and
Hanuman were stolen
from the same temple
some 15 years back,
however the accused be-
hind the theft were nev-

charges of misbe-

in Sydney and was .
later released on
bail by a metropoli-
tan court.

live a life of auster-
ity and renuncia-
tion that sadhus in
India are known for.
Instead, the 38-year-
old owns high-end
bikes, a super car,
and most of what
money can buy.
Police sources have
said that in May
this year, Anand
Giri and his Guru,
Mahant Narendra
Giri, had a tussle. It
was a result of
Anand’s out-of-
bounds lifestyle,
coupled with indis-
cipline of breach-
ing the lines and
rules laid down by
the Akhil Bharatiya
Akhara Parishad
for sadhus across
India.
Anand Giri was
hand-picked by
Narendra Giri
from Haridwar
when he was just

in the service of

opposition to three con-
troversial farm laws,
Priyanka Gandhi, who
has been regularly
tweeting on the issue,
will also make efforts to
directly connect with
the hostile farmers
community in the re-
gion. The action plan of
these rallies was final-
ised on Monday
through video confer-
ence in which it was
decided to start reach-
ing out to the people
without further delay.
West UP has been cho-
sen in view of electoral
composition of
OBC-Muslims and Dal-
its. Already Jat commu-
nity has turned hostile
because of Central gov-
ernment’s farm laws.
The Congress would
also try to regain trust
of Dalit community
through its move to ap-
point first Dalit chief
minister in Punjab
Charanjit Singh Chan-
ni. Sources said the

MAYA ATTACK
UP cleric held for running
‘biggest’ conversion racket
Lucknow: The Uttar
Pradesh Anti-Terror-
ist Squad (ATS) has
arrested a cleric from
Meerut for allegedly
running the “biggest
conversion syndi-
cate”, a senior police
official said here on
Wednesday
.
Maulana Kaleem
Siddiqui was arrested
by the ATS, which is
probing the racket, at
around 9 pm on Tues-
day from Meerut,
ADG, Law and Order,
Prashant Kumar said.
He was brought to the
ATS headquarters
here after being pro-
duced in a court, Ku-
mar said.
Following the ar-
rest of Delhi’s Jamia
Nagar residents Mufti
Qazi Jahangir Alam
Qasmi and Moham-
mad Umar Gautam,
who ran Islamic
Dawah Centre, an out-
fit allegedly working
on the ISI funding for
converting deaf-mute
students to Islam, on
June 20, the ATS is
probing the conver-
sion racket and has so
far arrested 10 people
besides Siddiqui, the
official said.
He said it came to
light during the probe
that Gautam and his
accomplice were
funded Rs 57 crore by
Britain-based Al-Fa-
laa Trust but the two
did not give details of
its expenditure. It was
also found that Sid-
diqui is involved in
the illegal conversion
racket under the garb
running various edu-
cational, social and
religious organisa-
tions, Kumar said.
“Foreign funding
was done for this (con-
version) in a big way
and the illegal conver-
sion was being car-
ried out in a planned
and organised way
and many well-known
and institutions are
involved in it,” the
ADG said. —PTI
Bareilly: The police
arrested a Bareilly res-
ident, allegedly part of
a Nigerian gang that
duped a Kanpur-based
firm of Rs 2.5 crore
through email spoof-
ing, officials said.
Accused Rukhsad
Hussain, 26, was held
by sleuths of Cyber
Cell, Special Opera-
tions Group and the lo-
cal Faridapur police
station in Bareilly and
Rs 27 lakh cash was re-
covered from his pos-
session, the officials
said. Bareilly SSP Ro-
hit Singh Sajwan said
the cyber gang’s Nige-
rian leader was arrest-
ed on August 25 in the
district after he was
found living in India
without any passport
or visa.
It also transpired
that a Nigerian gang
was active that duped
people by email spoof-
ing (creation of email
messages with a forged
sender address). This
gang had recently
duped a Kanpur-based
firm of Rs 2.5 crore and
transferred the money
into various bank ac-
counts opened on
forged documents, Sa-
jwan told reporters.
The gang also had
some Indian members
whose job was to create
the bank accounts on
forged documents in
which the money would
be transferred. These
members would then
withdraw the money
and get a share for their
work, the officer said.
Hussain, who is pri-
marily a Zari worker,
had got Rs 35.85 lakh
for his role in helping
withdraw the money
earned through the
fraud, he said. —PTI

Noida: The Noida Au-
thority said it has
sealed offices of 11
real estate developers
and club houses in
their group housing
projects over non-
compliance of the Na-
tional Green Tribunal
(NGT) rules.
The action comes a
day after a similar ac-
tion against two de-
velopers for non-func-
tional sewage treat-
ment plants (STPs) at
their projects. The
authority said it had
started an inquiry to
find out if all housing
societies in the city,
had their STPs func-
tional or not.
“In the process of
inquiry, it came to
light that some more
societies either didn’t
have STPs or STPs
were not functional,
which is a violation of
NGT orders,” the au-
thority said.
Sambhal: Tension
erupted after AIMIM
posters came up call-
ing Sambhal land of
‘Ghazis’, an apparent
reference to Islamic
warriors.
The BJP strongly ob-
jected to the posters,
after which these were
removed by workers of
the All-India Majlis-e-
Ittehadul Muslimeen
(AIMIM). The posters
were spotted ahead of
AIMIM chief Asadud-
din Owaisi’s meeting in
Sirsi, where he took on
CM Yogi Adityanath for
his “abba jaan” remark.
Owaisi said he was
the ‘abba’ (father) and
‘chacha’ (uncle) of the
poor and week. BJP
vice-president (UP
wester unit) Rajesh
Singhal said the place
has never been the land
of the “ghazis”.
“This is an election
stunt of Owaisi and we
will not allow them to
succeed in their inten-
tions. None of the cit-
ies in India belonged to
the ‘ghazis’ and we will
not allow them to be-
come one.” —PTI

ADG Prashant Kumar said, it came to the fore that
Siddiqui ran a “biggest conversion syndicate” and
threatened and misled people for conversion and
prepared them for Dawah’ (the act of inviting or
calling people to embrace Islam). The ATS found
he also runs Jamia Imaam Waliullah Trust, which is
carrying out illegal religious conversion in the name
of running ‘communal harmony’ programmes, Kumar
said. Siddiqui is a resident of Muzaffarnagar.

TOP TWEETS
CRIMINALS ARE
DEAR TO POLITICAL
PARTIES AND A HARSH
POLITICAL REALITY
t is not the first time
that a court of law
has exhorted politi-
cal parties to keep
criminalsoutof their
fold. In an observation on a sin-
gle-judge Bench of Justice
Pradeep Kumar Srivastava
voiced concern that political par-
tieswelcomegangstersandcrim-
inals and paint them as Robin-
hood. Justice Srivastava said
that all parties should come to-
gether and take a decision on
keepingcriminalsoutof politics.
In August 2021, the Supreme
Court flayed the Centre for its
indifferent approach towards
enacting laws to decriminalize
politics. A Bench of Justices RF
Nariman and BR Gavai said,
“The nation continues to wait,
and is losing patience. Cleans-
ing the polluted stream of poli-
tics is obviously not one of the
pressing concerns of the legisla-
tive branch of government.”
Earlier in 2018, too, the Supreme
Court expressed concern over
the “increasing trend of crimi-
nalization of politics”.
Let courts cry hoarse. As po-
litical parties find criminals in-
dispensable, they won’t be weed-
ed out soon.
I
fter India warned
the United King-
dom of reciprocal
measures over
vaccine “racism”,
London has revised its travel
andquarantinerulestorecog-
nize Covishield as a genuine
vaccine against coronavirus.
India was miffed as Britain’s
earlierrulesdidnotrecognize
Covishield, a vaccine manu-
factured in India using Ox-
ford-AstraZenecaformulation
and is a replica of the jab be-
ing administered to Britons.
The Serum Institute of India
which produced Covishield is
recognized the world over for
its high standards. Britain’s
decision was all the more baf-
fling because India had ex-
ported five million doses of
Covishield to Britain. India
saw no reason for the India-
manufacturedjabnottogetits
due recognition.
Britain agreeing to recog-
nize Covishield does not
mean that the troubles of In-
dians, including students,
travelling to that country are
over. They are mandatorily
required to quarantine them-
selves for at least a week and
get their RT-PCR tests done
again. That costs a lot of
money and especially bur-
dens tourists and students.
In order to continue its dis-
criminatory policy, Britain
has now raised a new bogey
about vaccination certifi-
cates. The new objection
means that it doubts the genu-
ineness of certificates of vac-
cination issued by COWIN, a
WHO certified platform. The
suspicion stems from several
reported cases in which some
people manipulated patholo-
gy labs to get a negative Cov-
id-19 report for a price. One
such racket was unearthed
from Maharashtra’s Buldha-
na district. More such frauds
were unearthed in Nagpur,
Manipur, Vadodara, Karna-
taka and elsewhere.
The unscrupulous ele-
ments wanting to make a fast
buck have brought disrepute
to the country and created
problems for genuinely vac-
cinated travellers.
UK REVISES TRAVEL
RULES TO PUT UP
ANOTHER HURDLE
Britain’s decision was
all the more baffling
because India had
exported five million
doses of Covishield to
Britain. India saw no

manufactured jab not

recognition
A
AUKUS PACT: A NEW PLATFORM OF
CONTEMPORARY GEO-POLITICS
he hyperactivity of Dragon
‘China’ in the Indo-Pacific
and South China Sea and the
announcement of US$31 mil-
lion (200 million Yuan) in aid
immediately after the an-
nouncement of the formation
of the Taliban government in
Afghanistan not only raised
the concern of Western coun-
tries. But it also added to the
uneasiness of Biden, who is
facing acute criticism in the
Afghan instance.
Ultimately, to balance Chi-
na’s growing influence in the
Indo-Pacific and South China
Sea region, the top leaders of
the US, UK and Australia is-
sued a joint statement in a
virtual meeting on Septem-
ber 15 to form an ambitious
three-way strategic defence
alliance ‘AUKUS PACT’ has
announced. Although the
blueprint of the alliance’s
plan will be ready in the com-
ing 18, the US and UK will
share their technology to im-
prove all military capabili-
ties, including cyber security
,
artificial intelligence and in-
creasing their naval capabili-
ties, with immediate effect.
Australia will be provided
nuclear-powered deadly sub-
marines equipped with state-
of-the-art technology, much
faster and harder to detect
than conventionally powered
fleets, which will be equipped
with ‘Tom Hawk cruise mis-
siles’. Significantly, because
of their unique features, Tom
Hawk cruise missiles are
also called ‘Brahmastra of
America’. The target is to
build a fleet of eight subma-
rines by the year 2040, which
Australia will deploy accord-
ing to its strategic needs. The
technology to build this state-
of-the-art fleet will be pro-
vided by the US and the UK
will provide equipment and
engineering support. It is
noteworthy that after Britain
in 1958, the US is sharing its
submarine technology with
Australia only
.
Australia signed a $90 bil-
lion agreement with France
in 2016 to build 12 diesel-pow-
ered submarines to replace
its existing Collins subma-
rine fleet, which will expire
after the deal. The cancella-
tion of this agreement has
not only dented France’s in-
ternational reputation, but
with huge economic losses,
the vast majority of skilled
people working in this de-
fence sector will face unem-
ployment. Undoubtedly, this
is a major setback for Presi-
dent Emmanuel Macron.
French Foreign Minister
Jean-Yves Le Drian reacted
strongly, calling it incompre-
hensible, saying “this unilat-
eral decision is like the deci-
sions of Donald Trump.” At
the same time, he has also
accused Australia of stab-
bing France in the back.
However, Australia, re-
gardless of France’s dis-
pleasure, has described the
deal as being in line with the
current needs of its country
.
Prime Minister Scott Morri-
son tweeted, “We intend to
build these submarines in
Adelaide in close coopera-
tion with the UK and the US.
But let me be clear, Australia
is not seeking to acquire nu-
clear weapons.” It is clear
from this that self-national
interest is paramount for
Australia, not relations. But
Morrison should remember
that a similar treaty was
signed by the US in 1951 with
New Zealand (ANZUS) which
is now on the margins.
A similar message has
been given by US President
Joe Biden on this occasion,
“It is an investment in our
greatest source of strength.
Our alliance (with Australia
and the UK) and updating
them in such a way that they
can best deal with threats to-
day and in the future. It’s a
new way to connect Ameri-
ca’s current allies and part-
ners.” PM Johnson said in
his address from London -
“The three countries were
‘natural allies’, even though
‘we may be separated geo-
graphically’ and said the alli-
ance would create ‘a new de-
fence partnership and jobs
and prosperity’. “
There has been a sharp re-
action from China on this
deal. Chinese Foreign Minis-
try spokesman Zhao Lijian
said, “The Alliance under-
mines regional peace and
stability and intensifies the
arm race. It shall reinvent a
“Cold War mentality and
ideological prejudice.”
Significantly, after the de-
mand for a judicial probe of
the origin of Coronavirus,
the rift in the friendship be-
tween China and Australia
has now turned into bitter
relations. After Australia
cancelled China’s 5G net-
work project, China not only
banned Australia’s imported
wine and beef, but also re-
duced its investment in Aus-
tralia by 60 percent. In re-
sponse to China’s criticism,
the White House said, “This
alliance is not related to any
one country, but its purpose
is to advance the strategic in-
terests of America, Britain
and Australia and while pro-
moting peace and stability in
the Indo-Pacific. The rules-
based international order
has to be upheld.
Even though the fear of
growing Western countries’
South-East attachment to
China’s response is clearly
visible, it is clear that in the
current scenario, there has
been an unprecedented in-
crease in Australia’s role in
geopolitics on the one hand
and marginalized for a long
time. Even Britain has now
taken its part. How many di-
mensions of success the ju-
galbandi of the these coun-
tries will be able to touch is in
the womb of the future, but
with the help of AUKUS in
the Indo-Pacific and South
China Sea region, US will
definitely be successful in bal-
ancing Iran and North Korea
along with China and Russia.

Anita Hada
New Delhi: The Con-
gress party has put all
its opposition parties
on the back foot in Pun-
jab as it has punctured
the agenda on which
the three principal op-
position parties were
about to enter the elec-
tion fray. BJP had an-
nounced that if its govt
is formed, it will make
a Dalit CM in state. Un-
der Dalit politics, BJP
had made former Union
Minister Vijay Singh
Sampla the chairman
of the Scheduled Castes
Commission and it was
believed that he would
be an undeclared face
from BJP as a Dalit CM.
Similarly, the Aam
Aadmi Party had an-
nounced that if its gov-
ernment is formed, the
CM will be a Jat Sikh
but the Deputy CM will
be a Dalit. The AAP has
appointed Cheema as
LoP in the Punjab As-
sembly who hails from
Dalit community
. Akali
Dal has tied up with
BSP for the elections
and it has also an-
nounced that CM will
be from Akali Dal and
Deputy CM will be from
Dalit Community
.
Meanwhile, Congress
has put all the three
parties on the back foot
by making a Dalit CM.
The question is, what
will be the bet for other
parties now? Will the
stake of making Dalit
CM or Dalit Deputy CM
still work for these par-
ties? Right now it seems
that this agenda will
not be of much use. So,
the AAP, which appears
to be far ahead in the
pre-poll surveys, will
have to focus on distrib-
uting free services rath-
er than its Jat, Sikh
Dalit agenda. AAP has
already announced that
it will provide free elec-
tricity water like Del-
hi and perhaps, more
services will be added.
HAS RAHUL PRIYANKA’S
TIME COME?
By removing Captain from post of CM, Cong has marked beginning of new era
Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: Now, after a
waitspanningyears,the
time has finally come
for Rahul Gandhi and
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra
in Congress politics. In
Punjab, Captain Ama-
rinder Singh’s depar-
turefromthepostof CM
is a sign that now the
leadership of the party
is completely in hands
of Rahul and Priyanka
and Sonia Gandhi will
take the responsibility
of only saying ‘I’m sor-
ry’ to her old allies.
This is the beginning
of new era for the Con-
gress party because by
removing Captain from
the post of Chief Minis-
ter, Rahul Gandhi has
done what he could not
do even when he was the
national president of
the party
. Earlier, Ra-
hul and Priyanka
used to push people
of their choice. They
were also made a minis-
ter in the second govt of
Manmohan Singh,
whileseveralweremade
statepresidentsinmany
states and were kept in
spite of all the failures.
But this is the first
time, when they have
shown the door to such
a big leader. Sonia her-
self hasneverdonesuch
politics as Rahul and
Priyanka have done in
the case of Captain.
Keep in mind that
Amarinder has known
Sonia Gandhi for more
than five decades. He
was close to Rajiv and
Sonia Gandhi from Lon-
don and continued to be
friends with the family
even after returning to
India. He was so close to
Sonia that he never
gave much importance
to Rahul. Even when
Rahul was the national
president, Captain dis-
cussed politics with So-
nia instead of him.
There were also reports
that the captain bluntly
told Rahul that he
would talk to his
mother, Sonia,
about this.
Sonia
had
also advised Rahul that
while talking to the
captain, he should keep
in mind that he was
talking to his father’s
friend. The captain
himself has said that
he has not met Rahul
for two years and Ra-
hul and his close ones
were deeply hurt by
this. All those things
have been accounted
for by the captain.
WHAT SONIA COULD NOT DO RAHUL,
PRIYANKA DID IN ONE STROKE!
In 23 years since Sonia took over the reins of the party,
no such disrespect has happened to anyone. The one
who was seated on the post remained seated. In fact,
people remained CM for 10-15 years. Before Sonia Gan-
dhi, in the tenure of Indira Rajiv Gandhi, there would
rarely be a CM who would have completed term. On
other hand, except in Maha under the command of So-
nia, Rahul and Priyanka, where CMs have been changed
several times, perhaps no CMs have been changed in
any state of the country. In these 3 states, such satraps
were allowed to come to power who later started show-
ing eyes to party high command. However, what Sonia
could not do was done by Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi.
Will Congress have to fight Punjab
elections on Charanjit’s name!
NOTHING FOR CAPTAIN
AMARINDER SINGH IN BJP!
Former CM
Congress veteran
Captain has all eyes
on politics of future
and has said that all
avenues are open for
him. This has raised
the political tempera-
ture of Punjab and it
is being said that he
can go to the BJP. It
is also being said that
Centre can amend or
withdraw all 3 agricul-
tural laws after which
captain will go to BJP
and the
party will contest
the next election by
making him face. But
all these seems far-
fetched. So question
is if BJP will change
its rules for 80-year-
old Amarinder Singh?
Moreover, the BJP
has announced to
make a Dalit Chief
Minister and so what
will happen to that?
On the other hand,
Captain is also aware
that BJP will go with
Akali Dal sooner
or later. What
will happen to
Captain family
when this hap-
pens? Therefore,
it is more likely
that Captain and
his family should do
politics by staying
in Congress.

and the impersonator
Shrinivas Singhal in a
Vyapam related case,

First India Bureau
New Delhi: The Adani
Group on Wednesday
has issued a statement
pertaining to the Mun-
dra Port drug bust after
it was subjected to a
massive social media
campaign.
Issuing the state-
ment, the Group said,
on 16 September 2021, a
joint operation by the
DRI and Customs un-
earthed a large cache of
contraband heroin
from two containers
from Afghanistan that
had arrived at the Mun-
dra International Con-
tainer Terminal
(MICT), Mundra Port.
We thank and congratu-
late the DRI Customs
teams for seizing the il-
legal drugs and appre-
hending the accused.
The law empowers
the Government of In-
dia’s competent author-
ities such as the Cus-
toms and the DRI to
open, examine and
seize unlawful cargo.
No port operator across
the country can exam-
ine a container. Their
role is limited to run-

We sincerely hope

APSEZ is a port opera-

to shipping lines. We
have no policing au-
thority or the contain-
ers or the millions of
tonnes of cargo that
pass through the ter-
minals in Mundra or
any of our ports,’ the
statement from the

Slamming social me-
dia propaganda peddled

has said that Adani
Ports and Special Eco-
nomic Zone (APSEZ) is
just a port operator that

Priyanka Gandhi Rahul Gandhi
Congress general
secretary in-charge
Harish Rawat is making a
mistake by giving state-
ments about contesting
the next election under
the leadership of Sidhu.
Congress is not going
to get any benefit from
Sidhu’s name, but if this
continues, then Congress
will not get benefit it
wants by making Channi,
first Dalit CM of the state.
If a message goes to the
Dalits that after the elec-
tion, Congress can make
Sidhu or any other Jat
Sikh CM, then their vote
can be divided and Dalits
will also look at those
parties which have an-
nounced to make a Dalit,
CM or Deputy CM. That is
why the Congress should
not talk about the leader-
ship of Sidhu or anyone
else right now. Keep
in mind that Jat Sikh
population is only 16% of
the population of Punjab
and majority of that vote
also goes to Akali Dal. Jat
Sikh has been a voter of
the Akali Dal and has also
voted for the Aam Aadmi
Party in the last elec-
tions. The fundamentalist
Sikhs in them like AAP
that is when AAP has
announced to make Jat
Sikh CM. So there is no
need for Cong to forward
the name of Sidhu or any
other Jat Sikh.

NAGALAND’S INTERLOCUTOR RN RAVI
RESIGNS FROM KEY POST
Rakesh Ranjan
New Delhi: Domain ex-
pertise and affirmative
framework mark the
latest major Secretary-
level appointments at
Centre. This may seem
to suggest that PM Nar-
endra Modi has come to
grasp that his govern-
ance signature must tilt
in favour of subject spe-
cialists if public and
analysts have to see top-
level appointments as
targeted at establishing
good administration,
for which there is no
substitute.
Readers may recall
that First India was the
first to hint at the pos-
sibility of a wholesale
Secretarial appoint-
ment to remove nag-
ging and lingering
doubts about govern-
ment’s commitment to
maximum governance
through efficient ad-
ministration.
With those doubts re-
moved, latest appoint-
ments, excluding three,
were done to move the
1989-batch officers to
their aspirational and
final posting as they
were empanelled in
February 2021 and were
ratherturningdespond-
ent with days passing
by without bringing
any good news for them.
Excluding Pradip Ku-
mar Tripathi (1987
batchIAS),RajivBansal
(1988 batch IAS) and
Anuradha Prasad
(IDAS 1986), the entire
list of 22 appointees has
only 1989 batch IAS of-
ficers. Of 22 posts, 13
are regular secretaries
whereas 9 were elevated
(in-situ) as Special Sec-
retary to the rank and
pay of Secretary to GoI.
Unlike the past when
secretaries were also
laterally shifted in re-
shuffles, this time only
Steel Secretary PK Tri-
pathi was conferred
this favour to avail of
his domain expertise in
DoPT where he had
worked earlier as Estab-
lishment Officer (EO)
and thus knew the nuts
and bolts of this sensi-
tive department. This
also helped scotch the
rumour that he had
been side-lined. Like
Tripathi, Rajiv Bansal
too was subjected to
wild rumours about his
being side-lined. His ap-
pointment as Civil Avi-
ation Secretary must
have sent rumour mon-
gers to their nightmar-
ish sleep. Bansal is to
replace Pradeep Singh
Kharola who is retiring
at end-month.
Sticking to the do-
main specialisation
principle, Sunil Barth-
wal (1989 batch) was
moved from position of
Central Provident Fund
Commissioner to the
related Labour Em-
ployment portfolio. For-
mer PMO official Anu-
rag Jain (1989 batch
IAS) is put in charge of
the Department for Pro-
motion of Industry and
Internal Trade (DPIIT).
North-East cadre
(Tripura) officer Lok
Ranjan (1989 batch IAS)
is assigned to Ministry
of Development of
North Eastern Region
(DONER). Earlier, even
senior bureaucrats
raised questions over
the rationale of giving
the socio-economically
and culturally complex
domain of DONER to
Naveen Verma (Bihar
cadre IAS) and Inder Jit
Singh (Kerala cadre
IAS). So Lok Ranjan’s
appointment is seen as
plugging a critical gap.
However, the appoint-
ment of Govind Mohan
in the Ministry of Cul-
ture is seen as the only
exception to the general
rule of domain knowl-
edge and expertise fol-
lowed in the latest ap-
pointments. There is a
general impression
among his colleagues
that he was better qual-
ified for portfolios like
DEA, MoRTH or DPIIT.
But considering the im-
portance of Culture
Ministry in the scheme
of the ruling BJP and
Sangh Pariwar, Mo-
han’s appointment can
be termed significant
though for a while.
Finally, reflecting the
government’s commit-
ment to affirmative
gender equality, Ansuli
Arya (1989) is made Sec-
retary to Department of
Official Language, Su-
jata Chaturvedi (1989)
as Secretary Sports,
and Anuradha Prasad
(IDAS, 1986) Secretary
to, Inter-State Council
Secretariat (MHA).
Further, it is pointed
out that since nine ad-
ditional secretary rank
IAS officers were em-
panelled for holding
Secretary-level posts
and were in-situ pro-
moted as Special Secre-
tary in the rank and pay
of Secretary to GoI,
three of them could
have been drafted for
secretary-level posts in
Steel, Drinking Water
Sanitation and Border
Management which
have been left vacant
for unknown reasons.
Another significance of
the latest appointments
lies in fact that it has
cleared the decks for of-
ficers awaiting their
turn for posting as sec-
retary-equivalent, and
Additional Secretary at
Centre. A number of
critical vacancies need
to be filled urgently
.
They are Air India,
IWAI, NHAI, Central
PF Commissioner, Vice
Chairman DDA, Estab-
lishment Officer, Addi-
tional Secretary in
Home, DOPT, Econom-
ic Affairs; Administra-
tor, Universal Service
Obligation Fund;
ASFA Oil Ministry;
Development Commis-
sioner, MSME; CEO
MD of National Indus-
trial Corridor Develop-
ment Corporation Lim-
ited, etc.
Hopefully, when the
PM returns from his
overseas missions, he
may be able to find time
to fix appointments to
these equally critical
organizations.

JUNCTION ON
STRIKE AFTER
PRIVATISATION
S

from Wednesday to press
for their demands, including PF
and ESI details, officials said.
A supervisor of sanitation
workers alleged that they are
denied details of their PF and ESI

monthly deduction for the same
from their salaries.
“We are denied PF and ESI
number by the manager (of the
company) even though the PF
contribution is deducted from our
salary,” sanitation workers’
supervisor Sunil Chauhan
alleged. He alleged that workers
are asked to resign when they
ask about their PF number or
threatened that they would lose
the job.
Workers are paid a meagre
amount of Rs 7,000 after
deducting their PF contribution,
workers alleged. Divisional

FARMER DIES
AFTER
CONSUMING
SUSPECTED
SPURIOUS
LIQUOR IN AGRA
The death of 18 people in the
district of Agra due to con-
sumption of spurious liquor did
not stop the supply of spurious
liquor. On Wednesday a farmer
passed after supposedly drinking
spurious liquor sold in a house
in the village as per relatives of
the deceased. 35-year-old Shri
Krishna, a resident of Jamuni vil-
lage had on Tuesday before going
to his farm bought liquor from a
home and consumed it. When he
returned home after work in the
evening, he began losing sight,
but he didn’t think of it much and
went to sleep. After waking up on
Wednesday, he began vomiting
as well as started losing sight and
he faced started to turn blue. He
was taken to a shack for medi-
cine from where he was referred
to Agra but he died on the way
to the hospital. The police were
informed as the relatives of the
deceased suspected that he died
due to consumption of spurious
liquor. Venkat Ashok, SP (East-
ern) reached the spot and began
preliminary investigation into
the death. The SP said that the
relatives suspect that Sri Krishna
passed away due to spurious
liquor as his health began deterio-
rating only after consumption of
liquor from a house in the village.
He further added that further
action will be taken only after
the post-mortem report of the
deceased is received by the police.

GRILLING BEGINS OF SUSPECTS,
ANAND GIRI SENT TO NAINI JAIL
Initial postmortem report revealed death occurred due to hanging a mark was found around his neck
SIT arrests six in
Mahant’s death case
First India Bureau
Prayagraj: Six people,
includingSwamiAnand
Giri, have been arrested
in this case investiga-
tion has been handed
over to the 18-member
SIT. The SIT asked 70
questions in 13 hours to
his disciple Anand Giri,
who was named in the
death of Mahant Naren-
dra Giri, president of
Akhil Bharatiya Akha-
ra Parishad. After this,
Anand was confronted
with Aadya Tiwari, the
chief priest of the Ha-
numan temple, and his
son Sandeep Tiwari.
The three were interro-
gated for about two and
a half hours after sit-
ting together. All three
reiterated the same
thing that this suicide
note was not written by
Mahant Narendra Giri.
He can’t even write that
much. During interro-
gation, the three admit-
ted that they had differ-
ences with Mahant, but
there is some deep con-
spiracy behind their
death. If sources are to
be believed, during
hours-long interroga-
tion, Anand Giri kept
saying Mahant could
not commit suicide it
was a murder.
First India Bureau
Prayagraj: Mahant
Narendra Giri has been
given Mahasamadhi at
the Baghambari Math.
The final process was
done by Balveer, the
successor declared in
Narendra Giri’s suicide
note. Earlier, a panel of
5 doctors conducted the
post-mortem of his
body at Swaroop Rani
Nehru Hospital. The
post-mortem report
will be sent to CM in a
sealed cover.
In the initial report,
the matter of hanging
has come to the fore. At
the same time, accused
in the suicide note
Anand Giri and Aadya
have been sent to judi-
cial custody for 14 days.
On reaching the court,
supporters of Naren-
dra Giri scuffled with
both. Due to this, the
police took both of
them to Naini Central
Jail. On the other hand,
13 Akharas have com-
pletely denied the mat-
ter of suicide note. Due
to this, the meeting of
Panch Parmeshwar to
be held for the succes-
sor has been postponed.
On the other hand, af-
ter the Samadhi pro-
cess, the interrogation
of Balveer, the succes-
sor declared in the sui-
cide note of Narendra
Giri, has started. The
SIT reached inside the
monastery itself. SP,
DM are also together.
In fact, till yesterday,
Balveer, who was call-
ing himself the next
heir to the throne,
turned his back on his
statement. Now they
say that who will be the
successor, this decision
will be taken by Panch
Parmeshwar. Earlier,
Balveer was saying
that the writing of Gu-
ruji Narendra Giri is in
the suicide letter and
he was ready to be the
successor but now he
said that he did not rec-
ognize his writing. Af-
ter the post-mortem,
the body of the Mahant
was taken and bathed
in Ganges at Sangam.

The party’s strategy
is to capture most of the
seats in the Purvanchal
region of UP adjoining
Bihar, apart from other
areas of UP. Therefore,
it will be a big challenge
for Dharmendra Prad-
han to win maximum
number of seats in this
region. The Central
High Command has giv-
en seven co-in-charges
for the support of Union
Minister Dharmendra
Pradhan, who has
shown the effect of his
organizational
ability in the
neighbouring
state of Bihar,
most of them be-
ing youths, about
whom the party has
high hopes. It is note-
worthy that Dharmen-
dra Pradhan, who hails
from Odisha, comes
from the OBC commu-
nity
. His father Deven-
dra Pradhan has also
been a BJP MP
.
The entire team of
Dharmendra Pradhan
including Anurag
Thakur, Saroj
Pandey, Arjun
Ram Meghwal,
Shobha Karand-
laje, Captain Ab-
himanyu, Annapur-
na Devi and Vivek
Thakurwilldecidetheir
election strategy
.
Many small parties in
Purvanchal are prepar-
ing to oppose the BJP.
That is why BJP is fo-
cusing on Purvanchal to
take a front from these
parties. There are some
156 seats in 26 districts.
If we look at the last as-
sembly elections, n, the
BJP got 106 seats,
achieving great success.
On the other hand, SP
won 18 seats, BSP 12,
Apna Dal 8, Suheldev
Bharatiya Samaj Party
4, Congress 4 and Ni-
shad Party 1 seat, while
3 independent candi-
dates registered a win.
But now the political
scenario has completely
changed.
Last time BJP was in
opposition,thistimeitis
in power. It has account-
ability in elections. As
far as Lok Sabha is con-
cerned, out of 29 seats in
Purvanchal, BJP got 22
seats in the Lok Sabha
elections while the SP
and BSP alliance won 6
seats. Similarly
, only one
seat came in the account
of Congress.
BSP also has influ-
ence in some seats here.
Purvanchal is also the
laboratory of small par-
ties of UP and these in-
clude Apna Dal(S), Ni-
shad Party, Suheldev
Bharatiya Samaj Party
and Janawadi Party
. At
present, the Nishad
Party and Apna Dal (S)
are in alliance with the
BJP while the Janwadi
Party has an alliance
with the SP. Together
they are trying to defeat
BJP.

wal’s party is desperate
toexpandbeyondthena-
tional capital.
The way the AAP is
carrying forward its
election strategy
, has
raised the concerns of
the main parties in the
state. The AAP was al-
readyactiveinUPbefore
the last Lok Sabha elec-
tions. For the past one
year, this party under-
took the Yogi govern-
ment head-on at every
step, AAP’s state in-
charge and Rajya Sabha
MP Sanjay Singh ap-
peared very aggressive
on issues like corrup-
tion-law and order-em-
ployment-education-
health and electricity
TheAAP’smoralehas
been boosted by the re-
sultsof therecentlyheld
Panchayatelections.The
Party leaders claim that
83 district panchayat
members, 232 BDCs and
more than 300 gram
pradhan have won with
its support. It is also
claimed that about four
million rural voters of
the state have voted for
AAP
.
Recently
,alistof hun-
dred assembly in-charg-
es was issued by AAP
, it
was said that these in-
charges would also be
potential candidates of
the party from their re-
spective constituencies
In UP assembly elec-
tions. In UP
, eyeing on
OBCs, Dalits and Mus-
lim voters as well, the
AAP is following the
strategy on the lines of
the Delhi model. Here
too the bet of free elec-

on. Recently
, Deputy CM
Manish Sisodia has an-
nounced that if voted to
power, his government

ity up to 300 units to all
domestic consumers of
the state. But political
analysts believe that the
poll plank of freebies
maynotbeaseffectivein
UP
, as here caste equa-
tions and organisational
strength outweigh all is-
sues. so it is not easy for
any new political player
to emerge as a substan-
tial alternative in UP

‘UP will shower more blessing on BJP’
Lucknow: The people
of Uttar Pradesh will
give even more seats to
the BJP and ensure its
candidates’ victory on
an even greater number
of seats in the upcom-
ing 2022 assembly elec-
tions, Union Minister
Anurag Thakur
claimed on Wednesday
.
Union Minister for
Information Broad-
casting and Youth Af-
fairs Sports Thakur,
who is also the BJP’s
election co-in charge in
the state, expressed this
optimism during his
visit here.
“This time the peo-
ple of UP will shower
more blessings, give
more votes and seats (to
the BJP),” he told re-
porters here. BJP vice-
president and UP in-
charge Radha Mohan
Singh and Union minis-
ter Mahendra Nath
Pandey were also pre-
sent. Before the com-
mencement of the

First India Bureau
Lucknow: Samajwadi
Party chief Akhilesh
Yadav on Wednesday
accused the Yogi Adity-
anath government of
usurping the credit of
his developmental work
in Uttar Pradesh and
failing to even read the
BJP manifesto, forget
about keeping its poll
promises.
In a statement, he
also charged the saffron
party government with
weakening the democ-
racy of the country by
“sustained attack on
various institutions”.
“The BJP has no
shame (laaz) that it did
not read even a single
page of its ‘sankalp
patra’ of 2017 assembly
elections and failed to
implement any of the
promises,” Yadav said,
adding ahead of the as-
sembly polls, they have
now begun beating
their own trumpet
through advertise-
ments.
“This attitude of
breaking promises
(wadakhilaphi) is a
form of corruption.
Spending state resourc-
es without doing any
work of public interest
is betrayal with the peo-
ple,” he said.
The SP president al-
leged that the saffron
party would try to “ma-
nipulate” voting at the
booth level during the
elections early next year
and asked party work-
ers to be cautious of it.
First India Bureau
New Delhi: The Su-
preme Court on
Wednesday asked both
the UP government and
officials of Allahabad
High Court to sit to-
gether and jointly sub-
mit the suggestions for
regulating the matters
of bail applications
during the pendency of
the appeals of the con-
victed persons.
The top court said if
the suggestions are not
given, then it may for-
mulate some guidelines
on its own. A bench of
Justices Sanjay Kishan
Kaul and B R Gavai said
that Allahabad High
Court registry has 20-25
page suggestions which
are like counter-sugges-
tions to those already
given by UP govern-
ment.
The SC was informed
that High Court had
filed the suggestions on
Tuesday evening.“State
government has said
something and now you
(Allahabad HC) have
said something. They
have given suggestions
and now you have given
counter-suggestions of
20-25 pages. How are we
supposed to zero in on
the most suitable ones?
If you are unable to give
suggestionsthenwewill
formulate some guide-
lines on our own,” the
bench said

First India Bureau
New Delhi: Congress
Rajya Sabha member
Ripun Bora on Wednes-
day claimed 45 BJP MPs
belong to political dy-
nasties and that it is the
“highest” in any party
in the country
.
Attacking the BJP
that has often accused
the Congress of dynas-
tic politics, Bora alleged
the saffron party gives
the impression that the
family-based politics
has no place in it while
spreading “false propa-
ganda” against its ri-
vals.Around 45 MPs out
of the total 388 BJP MPs
of both Houses of Par-
liament fall in the fami-
ly-based category, he
claimed in a statement.
The Rajya Sabha MP
alleged that the BJP has
been spreading false
propaganda that only
members of the Gandhi
family become prime
ministers when the
Congress is in power.
Among the six Con-
gress PMs, only three
came from the Gandhi
family
, he said Bora also
named 27 families
whose two or more
members are either
now or in the past were
holding different posts
in the BJP or in the par-
ty-led governments.
Atrocity against
women and rising
crime graph are the
hallmarks of the BJP
rule in Uttar Pradesh,
Akhilesh said.

um Bekhudi mein tum-
ko pukaare chale gaye…
and one falls in love
with the dashing Dev
Anand in a split sec-
ond! Dressed in all
black, his face in light
and shadows amid the hanging
lamps at the ‘kotha’, though the
sexy puff is missing… Dev hits
the mark!
In Kala Pani, Dev gave one of
his finest performances, in my
opinion, he was restrained, nat-
ural, the typical ‘happy-go-
lucky’ mannerisms were there
but just enough to mark his
style with an intensity that the
role demanded. The swagger
surfaced now and then especial-
ly in the ‘all famous’ duet with
Madhubala, ‘Achcha ji main
haari’. What a song! The natu-
ral love and trust that they both
display in the movie was beauti-
fully reinforced in this iconic
song!
In Kala Pani, we have a Dev
who does not sing much, does
not whistle much either, his sig-
nature style persona is missing
in this movie but Dev Anand
brings a depth to the role of an
estranged son who goes in
search of justice for his jailed
father. He is determined and
rugged, vulnerable and strong,
a man who fights with his con-
science as he ‘falsely’ woos Na-
lini. My favourite song-dance
sequence by Nalini is
‘Nazar laagi Raja tore
bangla par’, she is
gracefully execut-
ing the kathak steps with
aplomb.
Both the lady stars had excel-
lent roles, though Madhubala
had a smaller one. She plays a
working woman, a reporter and
is strong, independent, confi-
dent and open- a relevance in
those times with no overt dra-
matics or dialogues! That she is
amazingly beautiful is not some-
thing that can be overlooked, as
Dev finds when he sees her for
the first time! In fact, Nalini as
the kothewali brings a muted
grace to her scenes, she is digni-
fied and restrained even when
she realises that there is a ‘rea-
son’ behind the ‘love’ of Dev
Anand.
Actually, the entire movie
flows naturally, it is fast-paced
and there is very little drama
and histrionics, the song pic-
turizations are beautiful and the
songs actually further the plot.
This week, watch Kala Pani !

As it is the week in which Dev
Anand’s birth anniversary falls, City
First takes you to Kala Pani this

ately, we have
been explor-
ing vegan reci-
pes, super-
foods, dietary
supplements,
and all the
other related things
quite a lot. (No, we are
not yet ready to be-
come Vegans our-
selves, but we are kind
of making conscious
switches wherever we
can.) Coming back to
this week’s vegan
exploration, we
were kind of re-
introduced with
n u t r i t i o n a l
yeast. So, most
of us know this
yeast type as an
alternative to
cheese in most ve-
gan recipes. Fasci-
nated by its creamy
texture and cheesy
flavour, we got into
our ‘food geek’ selves
to understand its for-
mation, nutritional
value, and everything
in between. And, oh
boy, were we aston-
ished by our findings!
Let’s begin with the
basics.
WHAT EXACTLY IS
NUTRITIONAL YEAST AND
HOW IS IT CULTIVATED?
Nutritional yeast is
nothing like regular
yeast (or not). While
your regular yeast is
alive, ferments the
dough and doesn’t
have a distinguished
taste, nutritional
yeast is deactivated
yeast, does not have
lead to any fermenta-
tion and is mostly
used as a flavouring
agent. It is regarded
as a plant-based yeast
because it is specially
grown from molasses
or wood pulp and the
yeast cells are not
alive during cooking.
To elaborate for better
understanding, the
yeast is cultivated on
sugary mediums like
sugar cane, molasses,
etc. After growing for
several days, it is pas-
teurized and deacti-
vated, forming a paste
which is then rolled
out, dried completely
and turned into flakes
or powder before
packaging.
The real catch be-
hind the B12-rich nu-
tritional yeast. Well,
in its original form,
the nutritional yeast
may have
limited vitamins and
minerals but most
manufacturers fortify
the yeast with nutri-
ents, especially Vita-
min B12M B6, folate
and traces of oth-
er B vitamins to sup-
plement the yeast with
the dietary require-
ments of vegans.
Apart from being
packed with B vita-
mins, there are so
many other benefits
of nutritional yeast.
AN ENERGY BOOSTER
Consuming the recom-
mended dosage of B12-
rich nutritional yeast
can really work won-
ders to boost me-
tabolism and
speed up
r e d
blood
cell creation, improv-
ing your energy levels
significantly
.
HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANTS
TOO
Nutritional yeast con-
tains antioxidants
like glutathione and
selenomethionine
that can help prevent
cell damage, enabling
the body to effectively
fight multiple diseas-
es including heart ill-
nesses, macular de-
generation, etc. The
yeast is also believed
to reduce the risk of
cancer due to the high
level of vitamins,
minerals, and antioxi-
dants present in it.
Nutritional yeast is
indeed more than just
an alternative to
cheese for vegans and
of course, healthier.
Now, the real question
is how to consume nu-
tritional yeast in a
way that you enjoy,
whether you are a ve-
gan or not!
Yummy ways to use
nutritional yeast in
your everyday recipes.
Nutritional yeast is re-
ally versatile and there
are such fun ways that
you can incorporate it
on your food.
Did You Know? Nu-
tritional yeast is
also referred to as
‘Nooch.’
Funny name, right?
ANYHOO, LET’S GET BACK
TO THE RECIPES:
1
One cannot just
forget the yeast
twist to the clas-
sic mac and cheese.
Aahh, the beautiful
cheese-like umami fla-
vour that it gets makes
it an absolute try once
recipe.
2
Making tomato
or pesto sauces
for pastas? Re-
place the parmesan
with nutritional yeast
and you can thank us
later!
3
Mix it up in the
dips, guacamole,
or that vegan sal-
sa with the snacks,
sliders, chips, and
more.
4
Not in a mood to
cook but craving
some nutritional
yeast. Just sprinkle
some on your popcorn
(microwave it for a
minute for that irre-
sistible flavour),
soups, and salads. It
tastes heavenly!
Whether you are a
vegan or not, inculcat-
ing nutritional yeast
in your diet is highly
recommended. How-
ever, it is important to
understand the power
of moderation and
please do not overdo it
as an excess of this
yeast intake may re-
sult in a kind of facial
flushing and indiges-
tion. And, of course,
if you are intolerant
to yeast or have yeast
allergies, it’s best to
stay away and find
other alternatives.
Otherwise, go try the
B12-fortified nutri-
tional yeast and do
share any unique reci-
pes that you might be
cooking using this
yeast. Deal?
Whether you are a
Yeast your way to
Yeast your way to
HEALTH TASTE!
