“7/11 Mumbai train blasts” f e i r B s w Ne Nitish “backstabber”: Amit Shah
October 01, 2015, Thursday
BJP president Amit Shah today attacked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, accusing him of backstabbing the NDA by snapping ties and said it was in line with his habit of “deceit” to grab power. “Nitish Kumar betrayed George Fernandes, who gave him (Kumar) a national identity, and more recently, Jitan Ram Manjhi. Where is George Fernandes today? He has been forced to spend ‘gumnaami ki zindagi’ (a life of obscurity)?” he said.

Seven RDX bombs had exploded in the first class coaches in many suburban trains
2006 : Death sentence for 5 convicts, life for 7 In the 7/11 Mumbai train blasts, seven RDX bombs had exploded in the first class coaches in many suburban trains, killing 188 people and injuring 829 Agency | Mumbai

Mo : 98250 98053
Nine years after a series of bomb blasts in suburban trains rattled Mumbai killing 188 people, a special MCOCA court awarded the death sentence to five convicts Kamal Ansari, Faisal Atur Rahman Shaikh, Ehtesham Siddiqui, Naveed Khan and Asif Khan. All others have been awarded life sentences under various sections of UAPA, MCOCA Acts and IPC. Of the 12 convicts, the prosecution had demand-
ed capital punishment for Kamal Ahmed Mohammad Vakil Ansari, Dr Tanvir Ahmed Mohammed Ibrahim Ansari, Mohammad Faisal Ataur Rahman Shaikh, Ehtesham Kutubuddin Siddiqui,
Shaikh Mohammad Ali Alam Shaikh, Mohammad Sajid Mugrub Ansari, Naveed Hussain Khan and Asif Khan. For the rest of them, the prosecution sought life imprisonment. They are Moham-
mad Majid Mohammad Shafi, Muzammil Ataur Rehman Shaikh, Sohail Mehmood Shaikh and Zameer Ahmed Latiur Rehman Shaikh. The defense and the prosecution in the case, on the point of quantum of punishment, argued for almost a week in a special court in Mumbai. From showing reformation to the dozen convicts being “merchants of death”, the two sides contradicted each other at every juncture of legal arguments, leaving no stone unturned. Special Judge Yatin D Shinde had concluded hearing arguments on the quan-
tum of sentence when prosecution demanded death penalty for 8 of the 12 accused while it sought life imprisonment for the remaining four. On September 23, the Special MCOCA court had reserved its order on sentencing in the case for today, September 30. Earlier, on September 11, it had convicted 12 of the 13 accused, all allegedly having links with banned SIMI, while acquitting one. The accused were found guilty of charges under IPC, Explosives Act, Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, Prevention of Damage to Public
Property Act and Indian Railway Act and those under MCOCA. The court also found all the 12 accused guilty under Section 3 (1) (i) of MCOCA, which could also attract capital punishment. Those convicted are Kamal Ahamed Ansari (37), Tanvir Ahmed Ansari (37), Mohd Faisal Shaikh (36), Ehtesham Siddiqui (30), Mohammad Majid Shafi (32), Shaikh Alam Shaikh (41), Mohd Sajid Ansari (34),Muzzammil Shaikh (27), Soheil Mehmood Shaikh (43), Zamir Ahmad Shaikh (36), Naveed Hussain Khan (30) and Asif Khan
(38). After 12 accused were found guilty, Judge Shinde, later, allowed the defence lawyers to examine witnesses to bring out the mitigating circumstances in the case. Defence lawyers subsequently examined nine witnesses to show the court that the accused have undergone reformation and and thus may not be given capital punishment. The list of witnesses included the relatives of accused, doctors, teachers etc while one of the convicts examined another accused in Mumbai 2012 serial blasts.

Digital India vs Net Neutrality
Today, when you start up your computer or iPhone and open a web browser such as Chrome or Safari, you can access over 100 million domain names with a few clicks. Your data costs do not change depending on whether you go to Rediff or Flipkart, or whether you download an app to order pizza or post on Twitter or watch a YouTube video. Your data provider — be it Airtel or Reliance or BSNL — does not discriminate between different kinds of content, only how much data you use. This is the benefit of a neutral net, a system that has worked to the advantage of both internet users (who have enjoyed greater choice of content) and numerous start-ups (which have enjoyed unparalleled market access). But a shift is underway. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited California to drum up support for his Digital India initiative, he effectively endorsed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s vision of expanded access to a pared down internet. Expanded access is, after all, one of the three pillars of Digital India (the other two being e-governance and electronics manufacturing). Why not shift costs to content providers, who enter into exclusive contracts with data providers (such as Reliance), all enabled by Facebook’s Free Basics app? Such an arrangement could expand internet use rapidly in a country where some 80 per cent of the population does not have access, benefiting crores of people. It would also, naturally, benefit Facebook. Advocates of net neutrality — a vocal minority linked to NGOs and internet start-ups — are unhappy with such an arrangement, which they feel will disadvantage consumers by limiting choice. It could also discriminate against smaller content providers struggling to compete with established internet companies. Net neutrality advocates have argued that there are other ways to expand access and lower costs, such as subsidising data plans or through advertising. But this line of argument, too, has its critics. Some believe implicitly that net neutrality is an elitist concern, echoing Zuckerberg’s view that “It’s not an equal internet if the majority of people can’t participate.” Others contend that net neutrality requires unnecessary government intervention, a forcible levelling of the playing field. Why should the government prevent Facebook, Reliance and certain websites from entering into exclusive arrangements, particularly if it helps to expand access and deflect costs from consumers? The arguments against net neutrality, rather bizarrely, offer one area in which populists and free-market enthusiasts might find common cause.

You don’t need to make time for love. Love just happens. As far as my
relationship status goes, it’s for me to know and you to find out,” says the 33-year-old, who was rushing for a shoot of her American show Quantico at Los Angeles at 5.30 in the morning when we spoke to her. Priyanka has been busy balancing her show as well as her upcoming film Bajirao Mastani, which is why she has to travel a lot. While she

Puli: Vijay, Sridevi’s film is a blockbuster even before its release Agency | Chennai
Agency | Chennai The buzz about Vijay’s Puli and Ajith’s Vedalam might be dominating Tamil cinema, but Vikram is not far behind. The I star has a film titled 10 Endrathukulla coming up and the trailer, which released recently, gives a sneak peek into the fastpaced action entertainer. It features the actor as ‘James Bond’ (according to the trailer) who is described as the ‘Chennai’s
best driver’. Going by the sequences, it looks like fans of Chiyaan, as the actor is fondly called, are in for a racy subject. The film, directed by Vijay Milton, sees the actor teaming up with actress Samantha for the first time. The movie’s last schedule was completed recently and it is slated to hit screens this Dussehra. It has been produced by Fox Star Studios and A.R.Murgadoss.
Vijay’s Puli hits the screens tomorrow (October 1), and the makers have only little to worry about the film, given that Puli seems to be a hit even before its release. And no, these are not the words of Ilayathalapathy fans. The statistics say that Puli will be a hit, and one thing that can be said about cold, hard numbers is that they don’t lie. The makers of Puli have brilliantly contrived a high anticipation level for Puli through promotions. The
trailer of Puli, which has been viewed more than 6 million times, has been liked by about one million viewers. This is unprecedented for any Indian film whatsoever. In the last two months, Vijay fans had something or the
other to relish every single week. Be it the promo song or the trailer, they had something to tweet, retweet, share and like every week. This aggressive promotion is likely to be the key factor in Puli’s success.
While some stars talk, Akshay Kumar believes in action doing the talking. He just raised funds for 100 farmer families within 15 minutes at an event in Delhi! A few days ago he had announced a donation of Rs 90 lakh (Akshay’s team donated Rs 15 lakh to 30 widows on his behalf and plans to donate the same amount every month, for the next five months) which would help 180 families of farmers who committed suicide in drought-hit Marathwada.

The Sensex jumped 376.17 points or 1.46 percent to 26154.83 and the Nifty rallied 105.60 points or 1.35 percent to 7948.90. About 1668 shares have advanced, 988 shares declined, and 116 shares are unchanged on the BSE. Tata Steel, Bharti Airtel, BHEL, GAIL, Coal India, Idea Cellular, Cairn India and Asian Paints topped the buying list, up 4-7 percent. However, SBI, Axis Bank, Vedanta, Tech Mahindra and Bank of Baroda underperformed, down 1-2 percent. Post Reserve Bank’s 50 basis points (bps) repo rate cut on Tuesday, Axis Bank today cut its base rate by 35 bps to 9.5 percent effective from October 5. The bank has passed on 65 bps rate cut since April this year. Srinivasan Varadarajan, Executive Director Corporate Banking, Axis Bank told CNBC-TV18 that as bank’s cost of funds reduces, transmission of rate cuts will happen. “35 bps cut reflects our lower cost of funds,” he added. Varadarajan said that the bank would have cut rates even if RBI hadn’t cut repo rate in its monetary policy meet on Tuesday. Margins will not be impacted post this base rate cut, he said. The bank is awaiting RBI’s policy on marginal cost of funds, which is expected to be released next week.

Virat Kohli is, in many ways, a lot like Sourav Ganguly as captain. Both are big on the word ‘aggression’, both wear their hearts on their sleeves, and both have a mindset of winning at all costs. Kohli has tasted success with that attitude, with a historic Test series win in Sri Lanka, something that even Ganguly couldn’t achieve as captain. And it is that attitude that Ganguly loves about India’s new Test skipper. “I am a big fan of Virat Kohli. He is a captain who always wants to win matches on the field and I love that passion in him. I love the attitude and aggression in Kohli. He might lose sometimes and win sometimes but you know that he is playing to win it,” Ganguly said at an event here on Tuesday. “It is also a proud mo-
India playing T20Is is as rare as Shahid Afridi playing a defensive prod or commentators not using the word ‘talent’ to describe Rohit Sharma. Among the top eight nations, India have played the least number of T20Is - 55. In the last twelve months, India have played just two against Zimbabwe, losing one and winning one. And while the players do have the experience of playing in the Indian Premier League every year, the national side hasn’t had a chance to play as unit. All this makes the threematch South Africa T20 series even more important as India start preparations for the 2016 World T20. The core T20 squad has been picked and this is where they will take
their first steps towards building the team for the World T20. Captain MS Dhoni is back following a long break after the Bangladesh series and it will be interesting to see how he approaches the captaincy and his own game. There is talk he will bat higher up the order, at No. 4, which means the finisher’s role would have to go to someone else. Who that someone
is isn’t clear yet but hopefully this series will help identify him. India have struggled against South Africa in Tests and ODIs but have dominated them is T20Is, having beaten them 6 times and posting the second best Win/Loss ratio of 3 against all opposition (more than five matches), with only two losses from eight games. So that’s an encouraging stat for the home team.

Also in Group B, PSV travels to Russia to play CSKA Moscow. United will likely have to repeat their assured display against Sunderland to claim their first points in the Champions League — but manager Louis van Gaal could rotate his team to keep his players fresh. “To beat your opponent ev-
ery week (in the Premier League) is not easy, it is always a struggle and a battle,” Van Gaal said. “Then you have to play again mid-week in the Champions League and that is the difference between all the clubs in Europe. You have to rotate and that is what I am doing now because I have to protect my players.” Van Gaal is also wary of Wolfsburg attacker Julian Draxler, who he compared to United’s Anthony Martial.“He was a very young talent when I was there (as Bayern Munich coach in Germany), so I know him,” Van Gaal said. “He has to go on a long road like Martial, although it could be a little bit shorter because he has been playing longer on that level. He is a very good player.”

ment for all to see him lead a side with such passion. I want Kohli to do better than me as a skipper. But his main challenge will be when India will tour abroad. Australia, England, South Africa will test his captaincy,” he said. Ganguly also praised team director Ravi Shastri for his role with the team, saying it
is not mandatory that a foreign coach should take charge of the team. “Ravi Shastri has done a good job. He has done a good job in Sri Lanka. Better not to go into the debate of foreign coach or India coach. We also have good coaches and cricketers in India who wants to give time. So we have to think about them too,” he said.

Gujarat High Court asks Hardik Patel Ranji Trophy: Saurashtra leave out Sudeep Tyagi, Siddharth Trivedi from squad to prove abduction charges against cops Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
The Gujarat High Court Tuesday ordered Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) convener Hardik Patel’s lawyer B M Mangukia to file a “short reply” substantiating the allegation of abduction levelled against the policemen. The court, while adjourning the hearing on the habeas corpus petition till October 8, ordered the lawyer to file a reply explaining how Hardik was abducted. The division bench, comprising Justices M R Shah and K J Thaker, said that since the person had been found, nothing remained in the petition. The bench, however, added that since the allegations mentioned in the petition were of serious nature, the petitioners were required to explain the basis on which they

For internal security, she said that although 15 per cent of Gujarat’s population comprised tribal people, it remained free from Naxal movement because of the state’s proactive pro-tribal policies.

Gujarat University engineering students create ruckus for retest
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
A group of engineering students created a ruckus at Gujarat University on Monday after officials refused to conduct a retest for over 100 students who failed to clear their examination. After the students made a representation to GU officials seeking a retest, vice-chancellor M N Patel said that they were given adequate chance as four tests were conducted, but these 100odd students failed to clear them. “The number of such students is not much. So the uni-
versity will have to incur huge expenses. We asked them to deposit Rs 10,000 for a retest,” said Patel. But this did not go down well with the students, who later created a ruckus. According to officials, after GTU was formed, about 8,000 students had failed to clear their examination. Most of them passed the exam after appearing in retests.

Sudeep Tyagi and Siddharth Trivedi, the medium pacers from Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat respectively, won’t be a part of the Saurashtra Ranji Trophy squad for the first two matches this season. Saurashtra, relegated to group “C” after the poor performance of last season, would play against Tripura. The match is scheduled to start from October 1 at Madhavrao Scindia Cricket ground. “Jaydev Shah has been named captain of the 15-member squad, while Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja, the two most successful players in recent past from Saurashtra, have been included,” Himanshu Shah, Surarshtra Cricket Association’s media manager,
said. “Sudeep Tyagi and Siddharth Trivedi had played for Saurashtra last season, but they have not been selected.” Tyagi had played first time for Saurashtra last year, while Siddharth Trivedi had almost about five year long association with the SCA. However the SCA did
not clarify whether the two have been dropped or they have decided to play for other teams. Dipak Punia and Vandit Jivrajani are the two new faces in the squad. Puniya, a medium pacer, has played eight first class matches for the Services and would play first time for Saurashtra.

On the fourth day of the fever, the patient suddenly faints and slips into coma,” Dr Shah said.
