‘Congress “Clapped” When Hafiz Was Released’ ⁄ “You are happy to hug Chinese ambassador, you are clapping on the release of Hafiz Saeed... You could have just remained silent,”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, taking a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, said during a rally in Gujarat
SS News | Bhuj
Prime Minister Narendra Modi used his election rallies in Gujarat today for a strong comeback to Rahul Gandhi’s weekend tweet on “hugplomacy,” accusing the Congress of celebrating the release in Pakistan of 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed. He also asked the Congress vice president why he had hugged the Chinese ambassador during the Doklam standoff earlier this year.“You are happy to hug Chinese

With the air quality in the city slipping back into the “very poor” category, the Delhi government today issued a health advisory urging the people to avoid smoking and stepping out during the early morning and late evening hours. It also appealed to the city residents to carpool and use public transport, and not to burn dry leaves, crop residue, wood, coal, etc. The government asked schools to avoid outdoor assemblies, sports and other physical activities in the early morning hours.

Agency | New Delhi
GST collections in October slipped to Rs 83,346 crore, from over Rs 92,000 crore last month, as taxes on most commodities have come down. The total collection of GST till November 27 is Rs 83,346 crore for October and 50.1 lakh returns have been filed for the month, a finance ministry statement said. The Centre has released a compensation of Rs 10,806 crore to states for July and August.
ambassador, you are clapping on the release of Hafiz Saeed, you cannot respect Indian Army’s surgical strike. But why did you speak up about it?
You could have just remained silent,” said the Prime Minister in a sharp attack. Rahul Gandhi had tweeted on Saturday, soon after Hafiz Saeed
was released on the orders of a Pakistan court, “Narendrabhai, baat nahi bani. Terror mastermind is free. President Trump just delinked Pak military
funding from LeT. Hugplomacy fail. More hugs urgently needed.” Saeed, who heads the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), was re-
Gujarat polls: ‘How dare you come to Gujarat and abuse her son,’ PM Modi lashes out at Congress in Bhuj rally SS News | Bhuj
Launching BJP’s election campaign from Bhuj of Kutch district, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tried to strike an emotional chord with the people of the Gujarat while suggesting that Opposition Congress was hurling abuses at him – Son of Gujarat – which no Gujarati would tolerate. With that, Modi also repeated his argument of Congress and Gandhi-Nehru family hating Gujarat and Gujaratis from the
time of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. “For the past few days, people from across the country have hurled so much mud that it has made blossoming of Lotus very easy,” said Modi. Saying that Gujarat will not forgive Congress people ever, he said, “Gujarat has never accepted you because you never hesitated in pushing Gujarat back while holding prejudice against it since the time of Sardar Patel.” “I have come
here as your son. You have brought me up like a son. And how dare you (Opposition Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi) come to Gujarat and abuse her son?” said Modi. He then added, “Will any Gujarati forgive that? Will you forgive the attack on your son? Will you forgive the atrocity on your son?” amid screams of ‘No’ from the
public. “Gujarat had tolerated the injustice you had done to it during the time of Sardar Patel. But, now times have changed. Gujarat will not tolerate insults. You must understand it,” Modi said. Before this, Modi attributed his public life as an administrator to Kutch district while referring to 2001 Gujarat earthquake. Modi was made the chief minister of Gujarat in October 2001, ousting Keshubhai Patel.
leased on the eve of the ninth anniversary of the Mumbai attack. Ten Lashkar terrorists had sneaked into Mumbai on November 26, 2008 and killed 166 people. The Prime Minister compared the previous Congress government’s response to the 26/11 attack to his own government’s response to the attack by Pakistani terrorists on a military base in Jammu and Kashmir’s Uri last year, which provoked sur-
gical strikes by India. ”India was attacked on 26/11 and in Uri. You can see how India responded in the wake of both attacks. This explains the difference between their government and ours,” he said, adding, “They killed our soldiers in Uri, our soldiers went inside their territory, conducted a surgical strike and came back. The next day a newspaper said they (in Pakistan) carried bodies in trucks.” The Congress, PM
Modi said, had raised questions on the surgical strike. “They could not respect the Indian Army, they asked questions like none of our soldiers was injured? None of them died? Have you any photo or video evidence? Had they gone to shoot a movie in Pakistan?” he said in Bhuj in Gujarat’s Kutch district, at the first of four rallies he is addressing today in the state, where elections will be held early next month.

Tauseef, who was arrested here by the Bihar ATS a few months ago, had been lodged in the Gaya Central Jail. He was taken to Ahmedabad by a chartered plane amid tight security. The ATS team was
led by inspector S L Chaudhary. “Tauseef is named in a total of 39 cases, all relating to terrorist activities, in various police stations of Ahmedabad and Surat”, Chaudhary told reporters. According to Deputy Superintendent of Police (City), Gaya, Alok Kumar Singh, “Tauseef was arrest-

Why Patidar reservation in Gujarat is nearly impossible – both legally and politically
Congress and Hardik Patel of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), which has so far led the campaign for reservation, have struck a deal to “ensure” the Patidars get reservation if the former comes to power in Gujarat SS News | Ahmedabad
Since 2015, some sections of Patidar community in Gujarat are up in arms against the ruling BJP, demanding reservation in government jobs and educational institutions under the OBC quota, or at par with the OBCs. What initially appeared as an organic movement, rising from the ground, has now metamorphosed into a political tool that the Congress par-
ty is trying to use to make a comeback to power in the state after over two decades. Congress and Hardik Patel of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), which has so far led the campaign for quota, have struck a deal to “ensure” the Patidars get reservation if the former comes to power in Gujarat. The declaration by Congress and Patel has baffled experts and critics, and not just for political
reasons, but legal as well. Let us first take a look at the legal aspect of this issue. There is a Supreme Court-imposed 50 per cent cap on reservations in India. Any attempt by various state governments to breach the cap have been struck down by the top court over the years. Though the apex court holds that states should not cross the 50% quota limit, it is not impossible under the Con-
stitutional scheme of things. But there is a catch: It will need to pass the scrutiny of Parliament, where BJP is enjoying sunshine days at present, not the Congress. The 50 per cent ceil-
ing can be theoretically breached by showing “exceptional circumstances” or through a Constitutional amendment to put the quota law in the 9th Schedule. It happened in the
case of Tamil Nadu Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Reservation of seats in Educational Institutions and of appointments or posts in Services under the State) Act, 1993. The said act of the state legislature introduced 69 per cent reservation. Through the 76th Constitution Amendment Act, 1994, the Tamil Nadu quota law was put in the 9th Schedule that
protects the state’s law under Article 318 of the Constitution and supersedes the top court’s 50 per cent cap. However, a final judgment by the Supreme Court on whether the Tamil Nadu Act violates Constitution or not is still awaited. Last year, BJP government in Gujarat tried to woo Patidars by providing 10 per cent quota to the community through an ordinance.

What’s different about the Gujarat poll campaign in 2017?
Narendra Modi: When Modi thundered “Hun vikas chhoon, hun Gujarat chhoon (I am development, I am Gujarat),” in Gandhinagar last month, for most Gujaratis, he was right. The BJP in Gujarat means Modi and no other leader in the party enjoys the trust and goodwill he does. Even those who criticise the party and its policies add a footnote: “Modi theek hein. He works hard for the state and the country.” Voters have questions and apprehensions about the Gujarat model of governance but his image is unblemished.Rahul Gandhi: Whether his party wins in Gujarat or not, the Congress Vice President could be the biggest gainer from the ongoing campaign. The BJP and its supporters might have ridiculed him in the past but Rahul has emerged as a sensible and serious leader to reckon with in the last one month. It’s not just that he hasn’t made any faux pas but that he has earned the respect of a wide range of people in the state. This has forced the BJP to change its tactics – sources say PM Modi would attack him and the Gandhi family more intensely during his campaign. With a reach-out-to-all programme schedule and a carefully-crafted social media campaign, the Congress team and his aides appear to have made the unexpected possible – the Congress is a challenger in the Gujarat 2017 elections. Voters in different parts of the Saurashtra region, agreed that Rahul’s campaign has contributed to making this a tough election for the BJP. However, can his party and its network transform acceptability into votes? That’s highly debatable. Patidars: Hardik Patel draws large crowds where ever he goes. The Patidars are angry primarily because they feel the BJP has taken them and their support for granted. Patidars, its leader say, were never calculating voters and they stood by what was good for Gujarat. They have backed Modi through thick and thin. According to them, there are at least 106 (of 182) seats influenced by Patel votes. In 2012, of the 48 Patel candidates who won at the polls, 38 were from the BJP. Patidars are estimated to account for roughly one-eighth of Gujarat’s 6 crore-odd population. Despite the visible support for the quota agitation and the disturbing crisis in the farm sector, the entire community is unlikely to vote against the BJP. A voter in Dhasa, in Botad district put it like this: “Here, Patels are still with the BJP, but if you travel five kilometers, you will find Patidars who have turned towards the Congress.”

Hollywood-Bollywood Sunny Leone takes revenge on man Agency who threw a snake on her | New Delhi laughing about how he chased her.

Watch as she talks to the camera, saying: “Revenge is like sweet success.” A stunned Sunny starts to chase the ‘pretty’ Sunny in the midst of much mirth and laughter. Post that, the duo had a gala time discussing how they laughed, with Rajani saying how he couldn’t stop
A sporting Sunny too added that they were on the prowl for their next victim. Sunny also added that Rajani was better at pulling a prank than her. This after Rajani had played a prank on her by dropping a fake snake on Sunny as she went through her script. A shocked Sunny was seen jumping off the chair, with arms and legs flailing. Meanwhile, Sunny is preparing for the release of her next film, Tera Intezaar which also stars Arbaaz Khan. The film is set to release on December 1.

A look at India’s Shraddha Shashidhar’s journey at the Miss Universe 2017 Agency | New Delhi
After Manushi Chhillar won the prestigious title of Miss World on November 18, 2017, South Africa’s Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters was announced the winner of Miss Universe at the pageant held in Las Vegas on November 26. Shraddha Shashidhar, India’s representative at the pageant, failed to make it to the top 16. The 21-year-old had high hopes pinned on her and was expected by many to bring the crown home. Although that did not happen, the Indian model made quite a splash at
the pageant. The trained classical dancer stunned at the National Costume contest, where she was seen representing the feminine nature of God in the form of Radha. The costume was designed by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla and Melvyn Dominic Noronha. She also flaunted her enviable physique at the preliminary Swimsuit Round, leaving many impressed. Here’s a brief look at her journey so far. Shashidhar, who was born in Chennai is the winner of Yamaha Fascino Miss Diva 2017. She had also won Miss TGPC (The Great Pageant Community) South in 2017. She is a sprinter and state-level and national basketball player. She is also a trained classical dancer and had taught Tibetan refugees at the Lha charitable trust.

This is the biggest mistake Hina Khan is making on the show
Padman New Poster Stars Akshay Kumar As A ‘Superhero’ Agency | New Delhi
Agency | New Delhi
Hina Khan, the Miss Right of the house, has been making all the wrong moves of late. In last week’s nomination task, she goofed up majory; in an attempt to save her friend Luv Tyagi, she put Sapna, Priyank and herself at the risk of elimination. Priyank instead of listening to Vikas Gupta, and saving
himself, chose to save Sapna who in turn saved Luv, and got eliminated in the bargain. This is the second time Hina’s strategy has backfired. In the task Mission BB 11, contestants followed Hina’s advice of getting down from the plane and for the first time in the history of Bigg Boss, the winning prize turned zero.
Akshay Kumar shared a new poster from his upcoming film Padman and we love it. In the new poster shared by Akshay, the 50-year-old actor is posing like a ‘super hero,’ which is also the tagline of his film, directed by R Balki. Padman is a biopic on entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham (played by Akshay),
who became a popular figure for inventing low-cost sanitary making machines and hence, the name of the movie. In the poster, Akshay can be seen standing on a pile of cotton, which
looks like a set-up for making sanitary pads. Sharing the poster on Twitter today, Akshay reminded his fans about the release date of the film, which is January 26, 2018.
There are rumours that Ajay Devgn was first approached to play this pivotal role in Padmavati Agency | New Delhi
There have been rumours that Ajay Devgn was the first choice to play Alauddin Khilji in Padmavati. However, latest reports suggest that it is not true. Ajay was never offered any role for Padmavati, reports vouch. But director Sanjay Leela Bhansali had approached him for Bajirao Mastani. Ranveer has always been the first choice for the role Khilji, the reports said. “Ajay
was never offered Padmavati. The Khilji role was Ranveer Singh’s from the very start. Ajay had been offered Bajirao Mastani; he was the first choice for the role. And Bhansali sir was keen to team up with him again after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. But things didn’t work out then,” Deccan Chronicle quoted a source close to the team as saying. The report also stated that Ajay had demanded a huge fee for playing the role of Bajirao,
which forced Bhansali to go back to Ranveer, who eventually received great appreciation for his performance. Meanwhile, Padmavati has been in the news these days, thanks to the protests against its release. Some Rajput outfits have been protesting against its release, alleging distortion of historical facts. The protestors have been alleging that Bhansali would portray the character of Rani Padmavati in a bad light.

Senior India player Mahendra Singh Dhoni backed captain Virat Kohli on the issue of cramped scheduling and said that the team needs time to get used to the conditions in tours like South Africa. Dhoni, who is not in the Test side but will be in the ODI team in the upcoming South Africa tour, however, said that as an international cricketer it was a challenge one has
to face. “It is absolutely right, because we play so much cricket that we do not get much preparation time when we go overseas to play. But as an international cricketer, this is also a challenge,” Dhoni said here. “It takes some time to get used to, but if you see this team, there are many cricketers who have played overseas and it helps a lot. If they get six to eight or 10 days, it is good, but whatever time they
get, I think they will do well,” he said in response to a question about Kohli’s statement. The former India captain was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a match played at Kunzer cricket ground, 35 km from Srinagar, in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district. Dhoni was the chief guest at the finals of Chinar Cricket Premier League, organised by Srinagar-based Chinar Corps of the Army.
For the second time in a week, Ajay Thakur proved to be the decisive man for India over Pakistan as the world champions edged the neighbours 36-22 to win the Asian Kabaddi Championship gold medal in Gorgan, Iran on Sunday. Thakur produced a match-winning showing as India dominated the final completely and Pakistan never came close to bothering Rambir Singh K h o k k a r- c o a c h e d side. Sandeep Narwal returned to India’s line-up ahead of Mohit Chhillar who had played in the semifinal against South Korea the same day. Narwal repaid his coach’s faith with a
solid performance on the right corner position and cancelled out any plans Pakistan made of attacking from that side. However, it was Thakur’s raiding skills that got India over the winning line and kept Pakistan team at arm’s length. His attacking spree gave India a strong start and ruined any plans the men in green may have had of exacting revenge of their 18-44 defeat in the group stages.At half time, India led 25-10 and showed no signs of letting go of
their lead. With the game more-or-less in the bag, India had to ensure they remain steady in the second half and keep Pakistan away from scoring big raids – and that is exactly what they did. India brought in all their experience into the second half as Pardeep Narwal and Maninder Singh chipped in with useful raid points to help Thakur’s cause as well. In the end, India had ensured a comfortable 14 point margin to be crowned champions of Asia.

Lewis Dunk. Lukaku has mustered just one goal in his past 10 matches for United following an impressive start to life at Old Trafford but Mourinho refuses to criticise the striker. “In the last minute he was fighting and running back like he was in the first minute, so I think it is also a mentality question,” Mourinho said of Lukaku. “The way Romelu wins the corner for the goal, the way Ro-
melu ends the game making tackles in the left-back position, that is the mentality I want,” he added. “And, unfortunately, not every player is the same. Players are men, men are different. Men are unique cases. “Some guys are capable to go into the limits of their efforts and some other guys even with a lot of talent, they don’t manage to do that. “So Romelu, for me, fantastic. Didn’t score, I don’t care.” Mourinho has publicly questioned the mentality of some players during his time at United, but his frustrations have not been restricted to players.

Mr. Vikram Pawah, President, BMW India said, “We are committed to present the sport of golf and its many valuable attributes to a broader audience across India. The BMW Golf Cup International attracts not just our customers and prospects but also other patrons. Golf calls for precision, practice and an unwavering eye to detail, qualities of a perfectionist that BMW embodies in all aspects. The players have once again treated us to some splendid game golf in true BMW style. We congratulate all the winners and wish them the best of Golf at the ‘World Finals’ of BMW Golf Cup International.”
Fitness is an integral component of any sport. In a physically punishing discipline like boxing, the importance of strength and conditioning is vital. While most budding boxers follow the guidance of their coaches and adopt all practices that lead to a healthy lifestyle, it is a specific set – vegetarians – that are compelled to take the biggest leap of faith. Meat is a vital component of diet plans set by coaches of most sports. India’s junior
women’s coach Raffaele Bergamasco of Italy initially prescribed this internationally accepted diet plan to all his wards, many of whom are competing at Boxing Women’s Youth Worlds currently underway in Guwahati. Despite its worldwide acceptance, convincing lifelong vegetarians to become meat-eaters is not a straightforward proposition. Bergamasco found out soon enough when he took over the reins of the Indian team. “Protein intake is important, which is why I pre-
scribed a meat-based diet plan, but in our team there are many girls who only eat vegetarian, all we can do is work around this and ensure they get the necessary nutrients through other foods,” said Bergamasco. Eating protein-rich meat like chicken is an easy way of gaining the right nutrient necessary for maintaining a lifestyle that entails a heavy physical load. Boxers in India’s women’s team, though, have refused to take the short cut and stuck to their way of life.
‘Farm loan waivers have no impact on states’ borrowing cost’ Agency | Mumbai
The states which recently announced farm loan waivers are unlikely to see any impact on their market borrowings through state development loans (SDLs), says a report. States borrow from the markets through state development loans (SDLs) to fund their fiscal deficit. Five states–
Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh–have announced farm waivers involving over Rs 1.2 trillion bank loans to tens of millions of farmers. When these states will raise their market borrowings through SDLs, the yield will be higher comparing to those states which have not
announced farm loan waivers, according to a weekend report by SBI Research. “Interestingly, our findings suggest that, farm loan waiver has no impact on the yield of these states. In FY18 till November 14, data suggests that Maharashtra is borrowing at a low yield rate than the median range of 7.43 per cent,” the report said.

military forces from the state’s strife-torn districts to the pollbound state. The apex court had earlier on October 27 permitted the Centre to withdraw seven of the 15 companies of CAPF from Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts for deployment along the borders of Jammu and Kashmir and in the north-east-
ern states and to the poll-bound states of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. The Calcutta High Court had earlier stayed the withdrawal of CAPF from Darjeeling hills, the scene of unrest over the statehood demand, till October 27 after the state government approached it opposing the Centre’s decision.

India will tour South Africa three days after the Sri Lanka T20I series which ends on December 24. Kohli will play the third and final Test against Sri Lanka in New Delhi from December 2. The selectors retained the same squad for the final Test from the second Test and also included Shikhar Dhawan who had asked for a break from the second Test.

tions, characters and emotions. I am sure I would have written even before this, but I could reach to something that claims it was written in year 2012. I meet lots of people professionally, personally and socially as well. I observe them, they share their lives to me and that is where I find my stories. Also I should be ‘Good’ observer, so a sight of something just strikes my heart and mind and I dig out my story there. But I have lived each character and situation so close while writing each of the stories, so much so I feel I am related to each of those very very close.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday dismissed the murdered teenager Junaid Khan’s family’s plea seeking transfer of the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Earlier this month, the CBI had informed the high court that it cannot take over the probe
into the murder of Junaid Khan, citing that the chargesheet has already been filed in the case before the Faridabad trial court. The central investigating agency had also stated that the case was “proceeding at a crucial stage in prosecution evidence”.“State Police of Haryana is well equipped and has the requisite resourc-
es at its command to conduct investigation of the case properly under supervision of senior officers. The case has, in fact, been chargesheeted by Haryana Police, with six accused having been arrested, out of which two are still in judicial custody,” the reply filed by CBI counsel Sumeet Goel before the bench of Justice Rajan Gupta reads. Maintaining that the case does not fall within the guidelines set by the Supreme Court for transfer from the state police, the CBI had said.
