rime Minister Narendra Modi on October 14 said the lynching of a Muslim in Dadri and the cancellation of Pakistani singer Ghulam Ali’s concert in Mumbai were both “saddening and undesirable”. “The incidents, Dadri lynching and cancelled concert of Pakistani singer, were saddening and undesirable. But how is the centre responsible for these” Modi asked in an interview to Anandabazar Patrika. Modi said his party would never “support” incidents like these. “The opposition is trying to accuse us of communalism, but aren’t they, through the same process, playing the politics of polarization,” the prime minister

The House approved the bill by 261 to 159 lifting the crude oil export ban first put into place in December 1975 to counter the 1970s Arab oil embargo against Western countries which has once caused US domestic gasoline prices to skyrocket.

be a “third term” for Obama, Clinton said: “I think being the first woman president would be quite a change.”
Self-proclaimed socialist senator Sanders, on the other hand, claimed he would bring about a “political revolution”, in which far more Americans would turn out to vote, and in which the balance of power was shifted sharply away from the rich. Clinton also sought to combat suggestions that she is too closely aligned with Wall Street banks by saying she had personally scolded Wall Street bankers to “cut it out”, months before the financial crisis of 2008.
