y wife’s grandfather, Maharaja Bhupinder Singhji and Dr Karan Singh’s father Maharaja Hari Singhji were close friends. Succeeding generations of the two families have insatiably followed the tradition of cordiality. Dr Karan Singh is a scholar, fluent in Sanskrit and three other languages. He became Sadar-I- Riyasat at the age of 18 and the youngest Central Cabinet Minister in Shrimati Indira Gandhi’s cabinet at 37. We have known each other for decades. In my view he would have made an ideal Rashtrapati, but fate willed otherwise. A few days ago a little known Minister of State in Prime Minister Modi’s government made fanciful statement on Nehru’s erroneous role on Kashmir in 1947. The Minister suggested that Nehru refused to accept Maharaja Hari Singh’s wish to accede to India in June 1947 or was it April. Dr Karan Singh, in my judgement should have taken no notice of what the Minister of State said. A day or two later he wrote a somewhat long winded article perhaps provoked by the Minister’s comments, in the Hindustan Times praising his father’s role in the 1947 events in Jammu and Kashmir. With my regard for Karan Singhji I shall refrain from commenting on it. Two days later the intellectual Jairam Ramesh (Sonia

Unfortunately Karan Singhji commented on Jairam Ramesh’s article. He termed Jairam Ramesh’s remarks as “unacceptable”. Jairam is a high class intellectual but not yet a national eminence as Dr Karan Singh is. Both should read chapter ten of VP Menon’s “The Story of The Integration of the Indian States” and end the unseemly debate.

How long will the enquiry take. It should be time bound. The P.M.O should keep an eye on it. Former Prime Minister of Pakistan and among the outstanding cricketer of all time, Imran Khan narrowly escaped being killed by an assassinator earlier in the week. He was leading a huge procession of his enthusiastic followers when he was fired at. We of the sub continent are not strangers to assassinations. Gandhiji was allergic to security, when Sardar Patel told him that after the failed bomb attack at Birla House on 20th January. Security arrangements were being made at Birla House to protect him. Gandhiji said, “If you do that I shall leave for Wardha tomorrow”. Ten days after Nathuram Godse shot him. Indira Gandhi and her son Rajiv Gandhi were both killed by assassins. Both were impatient with security arrangements to protect them. In Pakistan Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan in 1951was assassinated, ZA Bhotto was hanged in 1979, President Zia ul Haq was blown up in a plane in 1988. In Bangladesh President Mujibur Rahman and his entire family were killed in 1975, except his daughter, the present Prime Minister of Bangladesh.

SITHARAMAN SENDS POSITIVE SIGNAL ON CRYPTOCURRENCY
T
he uncertainty surrounding the legality of crypto currency in India is likely to go soon with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman giving crypto regulation top priority before the G20 summit to be helmed by India. The finance minister recently said that global crypto asset regulation should be an international priority. This is a positive signal but it is the nature of regulations that will decide the future of crypto in the country. Explaining why India does not have crypto-specific legislation, she said that all G20 members and the IMF have to be on board. El Salvador is the only country where Bitcoin, a crypto, is legal tender while others like Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Spain have proper regulations in place and Bitcoin is allowed in transactions. India, on the other hand, is looking at crypto as an asset and not a currency which comes under the purview of the RBI. Fear of crypto assets’ misuse has been holding back India’s decision.

NCR air in several northern states like Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh was also unbreathable without the stubble burning and it was time the Central government took the lead in finding measure to solve the problem. “If they say Kejriwal is responsible and we say they are responsible, this will not solve the problem of smog in NCR. Fortunately, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar took the cue and advised all stakeholders to stay away from political debates over stubble burning and have a discussion on how to solve the problem as this is a “collective responsibility of everyone”. Having come this far the Central government must not lose time in addressing the problem.

WHY DID CONGRESS PUT ALL ITS MIGHT INTO ADAMPUR ASSEMBLY SEAT?
Adampur assembly seat in Haryana has been Tonceheoccupied by Bhajan Lal’s family since 1968. Only in 1996, it slipped out of their hands. Bhajan Lal's
son Kuldeep Bishnoi was MLA from here, he left his seat when he joined BJP after being miffed with Congress, and by-polls were held here, where, Kuldeep's son Bhavya Bishnoi was in fray for a BJP ticket, where he faced a tough contest from Cong's Jaiprakash. Congress, excited by Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, appeared united here for the first time. Deepender Hooda was also camping here. Dushyant Chautala of JJP too wanted Bhavya's defeat. Even BJP was halfheartedly campaigning for Bhavya. Both parties had their claims regarding 75% voter turnout. But BJP's LS MP from Hisar, Brijendra Singh, a former IAS officer of Assam cadre, is son of senior Haryana leader & ex- Union Minister Virendra Singh. BJP had promised Kuldeep Bishnoi that it will let him contest 24th LS polls from Hisar, so the biggest reason for Brijendra's displeasure was that his supporters didn’t go for Bhavya's campaign. The most surprising thing is that even late Sonali Phogat’s family didn’t come out in Bhavya’s support. So will Bhavya be able to keep family's fort safe by fighting so many contradictions, is a million dollar question?
IS SOREN PREPARING TO DISSOLVE THE JHARKHAND GOVT FOR EARLY POLLS? ike the 'Thriller Series' of OTT, 'Season Three' Lconducted has arrived in Jharkhand too wherein, IT has raids against two Congress MLAs
Anoop Singh & Pradeep Yadav this past Friday. Pradeep Yadav is one of the formidable rivals of Godda's BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who has twice lost election by contesting against him. As there is no place for him in BJP, so joining Congress is a compulsion for him. Anoop Singh has filed a case saying that BJP is 'investing money' to buy Congress MLAs. Two bizmen Amit Aggarwal & Vipul Agarwal, who are close to CM, also witnessed an IT raid on Friday. J’khand Guv Ramesh Bains in Raipur said that an 'atom bomb' could explode in Jharkhand govt. It is being deduced that Hemant Soren's membership to State Assembly may be cancelled, that’s why he is constantly challenging ED, he is preparing to convene a special Assembly session on 9th. Though 2 years left for polls in J’khand, observers claim that Soren may dissolve the Assembly & go to the polls.
WILL PRIYANKA’S NEW STRATEGY WORK IN HIMACHAL?
F
or Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, this time’s Himachal Pradesh assembly election is like a ‘litmus test’. And for this purpose, she has put all her strength in Himachal. Priyanka has handed over the command of Himachal to her most special loyalist, Rajiv Shukla. Moreover, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is the Senior Observer of the hill state, along with Sachin Pilot and Pratap Bajwa, who have been given the responsibility of Poll Observers. In the last election, the Congress had to be satisfied with only 19 out of 68 seats here against 44 seats for the Bharatiya Janata Party. In fact, it is said that Congress’ aggressive campaign in the State, may provide it an edge as the youth seems to be getting swayed in the party’s favour, however, not completely as yet. So, all eyes are glued on Himachal now, not only to find out who finally wins, but also to find out, if Priyanka’s efforts have been fruitful in the hill state, the answer to which can be found only on December 8, 2022, when the results for Himachal Pradesh elections will be announced.

Even though Shivraj has now failed to make his place among the leaders of the second line after Modi (in the line of Shah, Yogi), he hasn’t lost courage. So, these days, the responsibility to provide a new sky to his ambitious political flight has been taken up by his niece Ritu Chauhan’s husband, the 2010 cadre IPS officer, Ashutosh Pratap Singh. He often visits Delhi & invites journalists l for lunch & dinner to create a favourable atmosphere for Shivraj. As the age old adage goes, “Jo Khaenge, Wo Gaenge.”

Gehlot’s ‘magic’ works on Vyas, but will he join Congress? Ahmedabad (FIB): CM Ashok Gehlot has been called magician many a times. And perhaps, he has been named so owing to the ‘magic’ he creates at crucial political junctures. One such political ‘rupture’ occurred on Saturday, when 4- time MLA & BJP leader Jaynarayan Vyas left the Saffron Party’s fold. Interestingly, Vyas had met Gehlot two days back & now there is a word in Guj political circles that Vyas may perhaps join Congress. If this happens, it would be akin to ‘another feather in the cap’ moment for Gehlot, who would have dented BJP ‘s morale at an ‘opportune’ time as the stage is set for election!

CHECKS IN RADAR! The wintertime favourites are back, and the most well-known of them has returned: with a boom! Checks is that extra “touch” that gives your clothing a timeless appearance without ever feeling dated. City First brings to you glimpses from the timeless fashion of checks!

hecks have a much longer history than almost any other type of cloth design. Numerous variations have led to a style that continually renews itself and should therefore not be disregarded in terms of fashion. Although the square pattern is a year-round representative, the cold season is the greatest time to concentrate on it. From bold, huge patterns to subtle checks, the trend is with us from head to toe and is ideal as a winter
and fall fashion. In this manner, you can pull off a London style with Burberry flowing from every pore, portray a stouthearted Scot, or project a fashionable Parisian appearance. Let’s spend a moment introducing you to the world of checks. Checks are made by weaving a pattern into the fabric using various threads of various colours or compositions. This technique offers countless opportunities for creating various checkered patterns. You are given a tour of the hottest patterns for this season by Fibre Mood. This check is increasingly being seen on slim jeans, short skirts, or plush Tartan coats like those you’ll find over at Fibre Mood, where it’s known as a Roma jacket or a Hunter coat. Visualize yourself in a world of bagpipes and kilts. The tartan check, which is constructed of wool, is the most well-known and traditional of the checkered designs. The tartan pattern has often been given fresh life by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen. Numerous fashion com-
panies and designers have since imitated this trend, and just this past winter, tartan checks were also seen at several brands, including Victoria Beckham, Tommy Hilfiger, Mulberry, and Tory Burch. Red, green, blue, white, and black are the predominant tartan colours for this season. Checked Fashionable clothing and accessories in the hip check pattern highlight our ensembles for the chilly days. This includes coats, pants, pullovers, scarves, and even shoes. Statement Pieces mixed with essentials, check from top to bottom, or just a check piece that ins t a n t l y spruces up a plain outfit: this autumn style leaves little room for imagination. We show you the hottest check patterns and how to best use them in scene.
