Pakistan not sincere in bringing 26/11 perpetrators to justice: MEA New Delhi : As India marked the 10th anniversary of the 26/11 carnage on Monday, the Ministry of External Affairs called on Pakistan to shed its double standards and show sincerity in bringing perpetrators of the attack to justice. In a sharp remark on Pakistan for hanging fire on the trial, which has been going on since 2009, the MEA stated the plotters of the attack were roaming the streets with impunity. “It’s a matter of deep anguish that even after 10 years of this heinous terror attack, families of 166 victims from 15 countries still await closure, with Pakistan showing little sincerity in bringing perpetrators to justice,” the MEA said the statement. The MEA also reiterated that the attack, where 10 Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists unleashed a wave of violence in Mumbai in 2008, was planned, executed and launched from Pakistan territory. “Planners of 26/11 still roam streets of Pakistan with impunity. We once again call on Govt of Pakistan to give up double standards & expeditiously bring perpetrators of the horrific attack to justice,” it said.

Modi in Rajasthan: Congress in power during 26/11, but questions BJP govt’s surgical strikes
Bhilwara : The Congress was in power when the Mumbai attacks took place but questioned the BJP government’s surgical strikes in Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Monday, hitting out at the opposition party on the issues of terrorism and Naxalism. The prime minister was addressing an election rally here on the tenth anniversary of the 26/11 terror strike when 10 Pakistani terrorists sneaked into Mumbai, killing
166 people over 60 hours. In a broadside against former Congress president and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, he said New Delhi was at the time being governed by “madam” through remote control. “I remember the slightest criticism over the attacks used to rile the then ruling party,” Modi told the gathering in this textile city ahead of elections in the state on December 7. The Congress, he added, taught the lesson of patriotism. But when
Chhattisgarh: 11 Maoists, 2 policemen killed in encounters
Kartarpur like initiatives needed to resolve Kashmir issue: Mehbooba Mufti
Srinagar : PDP president Mehbooba Mufti Monday said instead of violence and bloodshed, the Kashmir problem can be resolved through “Kartarpur like initiatives”. “Bold, honest and humanitarian initiatives are needed to resolve Jammu and Kashmir problem. It is worthwhile to witness that Kartarpur corridor was opened on a day when so many human lives were taken by terrorism in Mumbai in 2009 (2008),” the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief said. Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday laid the foundation stone for the Kartarpur Sahib corridor, which will facilitate easy passage to Sikh pilgrims to the historic Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan. The decision to build the passage — from Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur district to the International Border — was taken by the Union Cabinet on November 22.

Rs 260 crore ponzi scam accused nabbed in Nepal Gandhinagar : The Rs 260-crore ponzi scamster Vinay Shah of Gujarat was arrested by the Nepal police near the capital Kathmandu on Monday, Gujarat police said on Monday. Shah had been in hiding at his female friend’s house in Nepal, sources said. Haresh Dudhat, Superintendent of Police (SP), CID crime, said, “Vinay Shah has been arrested from Pokhra near Kathmandu. He was in hiding with his woman friend Chandaa Thapa, who works in a spa in Delhi. Right now he’s in Nepal police’s custody and we already have our teams in Nepal who will get him in our custody after carrying out due procedures.” According
to Dudhat, Shah was arrested under various sections of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act as he carried more currency than is permissible. The Nepal police found Rs 30 lakh cash with Vinay and he was handed over to the revenue department of Nepal. As India and Nepal are signatories of the extradition treaty, the CID Crime will take Shah’s custody after the Nepal authorities
give their clearance, he said Dudhat. “Going through the call details recordings (CDR), our investigations showed that the Shah couple could be hiding in Nepal. We were in constant touch with the Nepal police and had sent a team to Nepal two days ago. The Nepal police called up our DGP, CID (Crime and Railways) to inform him of the arrest,” said Dudhat. Shah carried with him currency of over Rs 30 lakhs in US dollars, pounds and Euros,” said Dudhat. “The CID crime has recorded over 100 testimonies in the case. After the Shah couple disappeared, the police have recovered Rs 43 lakh from his house and around Rs 38 lakh in different bank accounts,” said Dudhat.
Not heeding ‘advice’ of Constitution will result in ‘descent into chaos’: CJI Gogoi
New Delhi : It is in “our best interest” to heed the advice of the Constitution, Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi said on Monday and asserted that not doing so would result in “sharp descent into chaos”. The Constitution is the voice of the marginalised as well as the prudence of the majority and continues to be a guide in moments of crisis and uncertainty, the CJI said at the inaugural
function of Constitution Day Celebrations here. “It is in our best interest to heed the advice of the constitution. If we do not, our hubris will result in sharp descent into chaos,” he said. Constitution Day, also known as Samvidhan Divas, is celebrated on November 26 to commemorate the Constitution being adopted. The Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution of India on November 26, 1949.
It came into effect on January 26, 1950. “The constitution has become an integral part of the lives of the Indian people. This is not an exaggeration, one need only to look at the astounding variety of issues that the courts hear daily,” Gogoi said. “Our Constitution is the voice of the marginalised as well as the prudence of the majority. Its wisdom continues to guide us in the moment of crisis and uncertainty,” he said.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will inaugurate the ground-breaking ceremony of the Kartarpur Corridor on the Pakistani side on November 28.
Kartarpur corridor ceremony: Will not tolerate conspiracies by Pak Army chief, says Amarinder Singh
New Delhi : In a stern warning to Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh Monday said Punjab will not tolerate any “conspiracies” by the neighbouring country and advised Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan to “control the Army and ISI” and “stop the attacks on Indian soil”. “It is my duty to maintain peace in Punjab. But there are people like Pakistan Army Chief Qamar Javed
Bajwa who want to create disturbances. I will not allow such conspiracies. Bajwa
should wake up,” Amarinder, who was speaking at the foundation stone-laying
ceremony of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor in Gurdaspur, said. The corridor will link India’s border district of Gurdaspur with Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan. To mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev next year, India last week announced building the Kartarpur road corridor up to the international border between India and Pakistan to let Sikh pilgrims visit the gurdwara on the banks of the river Ravi in Pakistan.
Hope saner elements will prevail between India, Pakistan to check terror: Manmohan Singh New Delhi : On the 10th anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, former prime minister Manmohan Singh Monday hoped “saner elements would prevail” between India and Pakistan to check terror activities. He also noted that what is happening in Kashmir is an indication of the suffering that strained ties between the two nations has brought about. Singh’s comments came during his address at the launch of a book “Fables of Fractured Times” by former Union minister Manish Tewari here, for which the former prime minister lauded him. “Today happens to be the
November 26, when 10 years ago so many of our countrymen and women were butchered in the city of Mumbai due to acts of great terror that took the lives of nearly 170 of our dear citizens. “One can only hope that saner elements would prevail between India and Pakistan to find a meaningful solution to the problem of getting a control over acts of terror. They do not achieve any purpose, as what is happening today in Kashmir is an indication of the suffering that the strained relations between our two countries bring about,” he said.

India is not better prepared than 2008
The kaleidoscopic features of modern terrorism have befuddled even advanced countries with better interdiction capability. France, which had the reputation of “Europe’s Counter-Terrorist Power House” for decades, saw its defences crumble in 2015. Before 9/11 it had refined its overseas intelligence collection and could alert US and Canada to arrest Algerian terrorist Ahmed Ressam on 14 December 1999 before he could undertake the Millennium Plot of blowing up Los Angeles Airport. That had made the French attitude towards the US appear to be arrogant. Although politicians rallied to declare solidarity with America by saying “Nous sommes tous Americans” (We all are Americans), certain French writers like Jacques Derrida could not restrain themselves from attributing the attack to America’s past blunders and “a distant effect of the Cold War”. This arrogance was also because France had not suffered any jehadi attacks between 1996 and 2012 while the US and UK had experienced heavy hits. As a result, France cut a sorry figure when the locally known Kouachi brothers carried out the Charlie Hebdo massacre in January 2015, killing 17. More embarrassment was to follow in November when 137 were killed in six separate incidents in Paris by the Belgian-French Abaaoud gang. In July 2016, a self- radicalized man of Tunisian origin crushed 86 under a truck in Nice, which heralded the most innovative Islamic State (IS) tactic called “low-cost terrorism”. This was followed by 12 such attacks in the US, UK, Germany, Sweden, France and Spain. All these refinements in terrorist methodology need to be kept in mind before we assess whether we are safer now than in 2008 when the 26/11 attacks devastated Mumbai. The 26/11 methodology— an attack coming from the sea or terrorists indulging in commando tactics—need not be replicated in all future attacks in India. We also need to analyze the current problems faced by counter-terrorism (CT) agencies the world over before coming to the conclusion whether we are better protected.In my lecture on the same subject to the Singapore Police officers in November 2017, I had listed several key trends. First, the public expected increasing openness by CT agencies to convince them that they are doing their best to prevent attacks. For that, many CT agencies in other countries publish their activities officially. Unfortunately, we never do that.

Lewis Hamilton bares his heart with podium strip
Lewis Hamilton, who had already clinched his fifth F1 championship, has a large cross and the words ‘Still I rise’ tattooed prominently on his back, with plenty of ink elsewhere as well.
Abu Dhabi : Lewis Hamilton bared body and soul on Sunday after stripping down to his waist on the podium following his victory in the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver, who had already clinched his fifth Formula One championship, has a large cross and the words ‘Still I rise’ tattooed prominently on his back, with plenty of ink elsewhere as well. The Briton said he had wanted to use it as an inspiration for others. “I’ve always kind of wanted to do it, because I wanted to show ‘Still I rise’,” he told Sky Sports television when asked about his celebrations. “And I think it was the perfect moment because that’s
really how it’s been this year.” The Briton ended the season with 11 wins, equalling his best for a campaign, but the year did not start out that way with Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel winning the first two and Hamilton on the back foot. For much of the first half of the season, the champion was telling people he did not have the quickest car but he and Mercedes came back strongly after the August break and reaped the rewards. Hamilton, Formula One’s first black champion who has risen from an under-privileged background to success and wealth beyond his dreams, urged people to read ‘Still I Rise’, a poem by American Maya Angelou.
Business Govt to infuse Rs 42,000 cr in PSU banks by March; next tranche likely in Dec
New Delhi: The government will infuse Rs 42,000 crore in the state-owned banks by March-end and the next tranche would be released as early as next month, a senior finance ministry official said on Monday. The government earlier this year pumped Rs 11,336 crore in five PSBs -PNB, Allahabad Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank -- to improve their financial health. “We will infuse the next tranche of recapitalisation by mid-December. Close to Rs 42,000 crore remain to be infused as capital in public sector banks in the current financial year,” the official said. He said that large PSBs such as State Bank of India and Punjab National Bank (PNB) may not need more capital infusion in the current financial
year ending March 2019. “Some big stateowned banks like SBI and PNB may not need further capital infusion from the government in 2018-19. PNB has already received regulatory capital twice so far,” the official said. State-owned banks will need less capital to meet their capital adequacy norms, as the Reserve Bank of India last week decided to defer the deadline for them to meet the global norms or BaselIII requirement by a year till March 2020. The RBI Board last week, while deciding to retain the capital adequacy requirement for banks at 9 per cent, agreed to extend the transition period for implementing the last tranche of 0.625 per cent under the capital conservation buffer (CCB) by one year — up to March 31, 2020.

Sri Lanka vs England 3rd Test: Chasing an improbable 327 to gain a consolation victory, Sri Lanka were dismissed for 284 at the start of the final session of the fourth day.
England beat Sri Lanka by 42 runs for 3-0 sweep
Colombo : England overcame spirited late resistance from the hosts to seal a first 3-0 series sweep in Sri Lanka when the tourists wrapped up a 42-run victory shortly after tea on the fourth day of the third and final test on Monday. Chasing an improbable 327-run target, Sri Lanka’s last six batsmen combined well to get to within less than 50 runs of what would have been a remarkable triumph after they resumed on 53 for four at the Sinhalese Sports Club. Kusal Mendis (86) and Roshen Silva (65) set the tone with a dogged 102-run sixthwicket stand in an exemplary display of defiance spread over 30 overs as Sri Lanka sought to end a disappointing series on a high. After Mendis was run out, Malinda Pushpakumara (42 not
out) survived a sickening blow to the helmet to add 58 runs with Suranga Lakmal for the final wicket to give England some jitters before the tourists secured victory in the first over after tea. “I’m proud of everyone,” England captain Joe Root said. “Brilliant performance
from the whole squad, it’s been a real team effort which has made it even sweeter.” England moved to number two, behind India, in the world test rankings after a victory on foreign soil Root hoped would lead to further success.

Silver, too, gained Rs 150 to Rs 37,450 per kg amid increased demand from industrial units.

decision to enter politics in a cricket-crazy country has received mixed reaction. Speaking for the first time since the announcement, the cricketer wrote on Facebook, “The tapping of politics was inside me. Because I always believed that the development of the country without politics is strongly not possible. I have played cricket, I have
got your love. Otherwise, maybe I would have been lost in 2011. The love that I got from you in 2011, it has helped me to continue these seven years. This time the opportunity has been presented to me to do something for the people. I don’t even know what is waiting for me in the next four years of the World Cup.
The government for the second year in a row has pegged fiscal deficit at 3.3 per cent of GDP this fiscal year.
RBI can transfer Rs 1 trillion of excess reserves to govt: report Mumbai: The Reserve Bank has “more than adequate” reserves and that it can transfer over Rs 1 trillion to the government after a specially constituted panel identifies the “excess capital”, says a report. An RBI board meeting had last on Monday decided to form a committee, which is likely to be announced later this week. “We expect the proposed committee on the RBI’s economic capital framework (ECF) to identify Rs 1-3 trillion which is 0.51.6 per cent of GDP as excess capital,” analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a note Monday. The brokerage report said as per its stress tests, the central bank can transfer Rs 1 trillion to the government if the
transfer is limited to passing excess contingency reserve and can go up to Rs 3 trillion if the total capital is included. Giving a break-up, the report said Rs 1.05 trillion can be transferred if the contingency reserve is capped at 3.5
per cent of the RBI book. It further said this level will be 75 per cent higher than the average of BRICS economies, excluding India. Additional forms of transfers can include Rs 1.16 trillion from the contingency reserves
if one restricts to yield rise of 4.5 percent as against 9 percent at present. Limiting the appreciation cover in RBI’s currency and gold revaluation account to 25 per cent (Rs 53.25 per USD) will release about Rs 72,000 crore to the government, it said. It also said capping the overall reserves at 20 percent of the RBI’s book as against 28.3 percent now and higher than 18 percent recommended by the Usha Thorat panel will be able to release Rs 3.11 trillion. The statutes do not prohibit transfer of excess capital to the government, it said, pointing out that the RBI Act places no bar as long as government maintains Rs 5 crore of reserve funds under Sec 46 of the RBI Act.
NSE Nifty jumped 101.85 points, or 0.97 per cent, to finish at 10,628.60.
Sensex logs 1st gain in four sessions, soars 373 points Mumbai: Breaking its three-session losing spree, the BSE benchmark Sensex surged over 373 points on emergence of buying mainly in auto, FMCG and banking stocks as sustained recovery in rupee and moderate crude oil prices buoyed investor sentiments. Similarly, the NSE Nifty rose nearly 102 points to regain the 10,600 level. Also, the benchmark indices gained tracking positive global cues and improving macro-economic scenario. Analysts said that markets likely reacted to the positive backdrop, as well as indications that the NBFC credit squeeze is abating. The Indian rupee appears to have stabilised a bit after recording a string of heavy losses last month. This recovery is driven by sharp drop in global crude oil prices and improving prospects for
the domestic economy. The 30-share Sensex gyrated over 500 points during the session, finally settling 373.06 points, or 1.07 per cent, higher at 35,354.08. Similarly, the broader NSE Nifty jumped 101.85 points, or 0.97 per cent, to finish at 10,628.60.Banking stocks rallied after the government’s announcement of Rs 42,000 crore fund infusion in the state-owned banks by March-end. Market analysts said recapitalisation announcement to PSU banks is likely to provide respite to current liquidity issues, which also boosted the sentiment. Hero MotoCorp, HUL, Wipro, Asian Paints, Axis Bank, IndusInd Bank, Bajaj Auto, HDFC Bank, ITC, Bharti Airtel, TCS and Maruti led the gains on key indices, rising up to 5.02 per cent.

Moscow has denied breaching the pact and accused Washington of violating it. Ryabkov warned that if the US stations the currently banned missiles in Europe, Russia will have to mount an “efficient response.” He didn’t elaborate. “We won’t be able to turn a blind eye to the potential deployment of new US missiles on the territories where they may threaten Russia,” he said, adding that such intermediate-range missiles would tilt the existing strategic balance between Russia and the US. “We would very much want not to get to the point of new missile crises.
