Congress threatens agitation if govt doesn’t drop cases against Patel
If cases against Patels not withdrawn Gujarat Congress demands withdrawal of cases against Hardik Patel and other PAAS leaders, threaten agitation if the government did not comply with the demand Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
In a quid pro quo move given the advantage it got from the mobilisation of anti-BJP Patidar votes in the recently concluded elections, the Gujarat Congress Saturday demanded “immediate withdrawal of the cases registered against Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) convener Hardik Patel and his associates”. Addressing mediapersons
Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee president Bharatsingh Solanki and senior party leader Siddharth Patel declared to launch an agitation against the state govenrment if the cases against PAAS leaders were not withdrawn. “We will launch agitation against the state government if the cases against PAAS leaders are not withdrawn immediately,” the two Congress leaders said.
Espionage racket: 4th accused arrested in Rajouri Agency | New Delhi
ONE more person was arrested by Delhi Police’s Crime Branch sleuths on charges of espionage in Rajouri on Saturday morning. Identified as Mohammad Shabir, a government school teacher posted at Kakora, sources said that he was currently attached with the election cell at tehsil complex in Rajouri. He was arrested from his rented accommodation at Atti on the outskirts of Rajouri town around 6.30 am. Sources said that as teams of Delhi Police’s Crime Branch sleuths and local police raided his rented accom-
However, they did not give any specific timeframe about lauching the agitation. “We will wait for the government to see what action it takes in the matter. We will certainly launch a statewide agitation if the government fails to withdraw the cases against the Patidar leaders,” Solanki said. “We stand by Patidars,” affirmed Solanki. Stating that the young Patidar leaders were “innocent”, Siddharth Patel said: “The
Congress will protect the Patidar youth from the government atrocities.” One of the reasons for the Congress party’s good performance in rural areas is attributed to split in the Patel community and a section of them voting for the Congress though Patels had generally been voting
for the BJP till 2014 lok sabha elections. The Congress leaders feel that if the present political tempo was continued till December 2017 when the next assembly elections are scheduled to be held, the party can gain much political advantage and come to power in the state.

2 / Dt. 06-12-2015, Sunday Editors’ Picks sunday, DECEMBER 06, 2015 Delhi government treats the capital’s air pollution problem with the urgency it merits
Delhi’s government has been under pressure for presiding over a building public health crisis due to the deteriorating air quality in the capital. The Delhi High Court has observed that life in the city is akin to “living in a gas chamber”, and the National Green Tribunal criticised the government’s approach to the problem. Yet, the Kejriwal government’s announcements on Friday — with new curbs to be imposed on vehicular movement from January 1 as their centrepiece — must be applauded as a brave move in its own right. Having won a large mandate, the AAP is now leveraging it to attempt an ambitious break from pollution as usual. This move could have a wider resonance. Delhi may be a small stage, but the constant spotlight on it makes it one of the most important staging grounds for the new project and initiative. The Kejriwal government’s package — ranging from the shutdown of a coal-fired plant in Badarpur, to a promise to make an early switch to Euro VI emission norms — could become a bold new template for governance in the city. Having taken this step, the government cannot afford to stop there. If the odd-even switcheroo — cars with odd and even licence plates will be allowed on the roads every alternate day — is to be a success, public transport systems, especially last-mile connectivity, must see quick and dramatic improvements. Similar road space rationing has been implemented in several other cities in the world to mitigate air pollution, including Bogota, Mexico City and Beijing. Many of these cities offer reliable, safe and efficient mass transportation options, but even they have seen citizens circumvent the restrictions in a variety of ways. In Mexico City, for instance, after residents began buying second cars to get around the ban, carbon monoxide levels rose by 13 per cent. To ensure that there are concrete gains from this licence-plate driving ban, the Delhi government must concentrate on beefing up bus services and devising cheap, clean ways for people to get from metro stations to their homes or places of work. Strict enforcement will also be necessary — the ban will do no good if it is consistently flouted the way other traffic rules are. The experience of other cities also suggests that measures such as the creation of low-emission zones — areas that older, more polluting vehicles cannot enter — and congestion pricing encourage drivers to upgrade to cleaner cars and shift to public transport. At the same time, other sources of pollution must also be looked at. Vehicles belch toxic gases and particles, but so do industrial plants, and garbage disposal remains a problem.

He controls a cola company and owns hotels across the globe and decides to open a super-specialty clinic in tribute to his deceased brother. He is also mar-

Farhan Akhtar talks about challenging Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Wazir’ Agency | Mumbai
Agency | Mumbai Another FIR was lodged on Friday against Bollywood star Aamir Khan and his wife Kiran Rao in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district on a court directive for the actor’s controversial remarks on “intolerance.” Earlier, a similar FIR was lodged against Aamir in New Delhi. Advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha lodged the FIR against Aamir and his wife at Town police station in Muzaffarpur district under sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153A
(promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc), 153B (Imputations, assertions prejudicial to national-integration) and 154 (Sedition) of IPC. The FIR was registered on the direction of the chief judicial magistrate, Muzaffarpur district, Sushma Trivedi, on a complaint filed by Ojha last week, charging the actor with hurting the sentiments of the people by claiming that an atmosphere of intolerance prevailed in the country.

‘Wazir’ will see the exciting pairing of two actors – the legendary Amitabh Bachchan and the multi-talented Farhan Akhtar. For the latter, working with Amitabh Bachchan presented an exciting challenge more than competition. “There is no question of any competition between me and Amitji. I see it as a great collaboration and you want to challenge each other when you are working in a scene. I have grown up seeing his films and have been a huge admirer of his work. I am still young. To work with him and to be stimulated by someone who is so good at what he does really helped my performances,” said Farhan. Farhan, who had earlier directed Bachchan in Lakshya, said that it was

Addressing the issue wherein actresses in Bollywood are criticised if they go under the knife, the “Page3” actress shared that this is nothing but “dichotomy”. “The irony is that the women in Bollywood have been told for a very long time that if you don’t have big b**bs, you are
not going to be a heroine,” the 40-year-old said. “You are making the women feel that if you have big b**bs you can be a heroine, but at the same time making them feel that ‘oh you have a job!’. What are women supposed to do? If we don’t do it, we are criticised for it and if we do it, we are still crticised for it,” she added.

While most Indian actresses are clad in make-up in films and shows, Sandhya says that women do not wear cosmetics all the time off-screen. “It is not aspirational to always see women over made up. We are just being real. Women do not put make up all the time. When I get out of bed, I don’t look like this at all,” said Sandhya, who had opted for nude makeup for her visit to the head

A late goal from Haitian striker Sony Norde guided Mumbai City FC to a well-deserved 3-2 victory in their last match of the Indian Super League (ISL) season against Atletico de Kolkata (ATK) at the Salt Lake stadium in Kolkata on Friday. For Mumbai, Norde scored a brace and Sunil Chhetri netted the other, while for the defending champions ATK, it was Hume and Izumi who got on the scoresheet. After 14 games each, ATK are still at the top with 23 points and Mumbai City finish their campaign at seventh place with 16 points. The loss now opens the door for Delhi Dynamos and

Maruti Suzuki Baleno bookings vroom past 40,000 mark
Agency | New Delhi Maruti Suzuki launched the new Baleno in October 2015 under its premium dealership chain NEXA. The new Baleno had already garnered much attention before its launch with its impressive styling. After the launch also, the Baleno has been able to rake in the numbers with Maruti Suzuki receiving more than 40,000 bookings till date for the car. More than a fortnight ago, Maruti Suzuki had reported that the Baleno had crossed 21,000 bookings. It seems the car has become a hit with the consumers outplaying its competition in all departments. Impressive styling, refined power and good handling have all ensured that the Baleno leaves a mark in the minds of its potential customers.

Currently, the Baleno comes with a 1.2-litre VVT petrol(84bhp) or a 1.3-litre DDiS diesel(74bhp) engine under the hood.
The BCCI on Saturday denied the Delhi Government permission to felicitate World Cup winners (1983 and 2011) from the state, along with former captain Bishan Singh Bedi, inside the Feroz Shah Kotla’s field of play, saying that the planned ceremony would have violated norms. The ground is currently hosting the fourth Test between India and South Africa and the BCCI said as per rules, a ceremony like this could not have been allowed in the field of play in the middle of a game. Although the state government was free to use any other part of the ground, it refused to go ahead after
being denied the access to field of play. The Delhi government had intimated DDCA that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will be felicitating 10 stalwarts from the state. The list of players to be felicitated included the names of Bishan Singh Bedi, Mohinder Amarnath, Madan Lal, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir among others but the felicitation would
have violated BCCI norms. “The BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur sent an email that it would not allow any felicitation to be held in the playing arena during the course of the Test match. The message was conveyed around 10 pm at night. It stated that it cannot allow anything inside the field of play,” DDCA treasurer Ravinder Manchanda saidon Saturday.
Board of Control for Cricket in India’s Credibility Very Low: Bishan Singh Bedi Agency | New Delhi
The Board of Control for Cricket in India is a mighty force in world sports. It is one of the ‘Big Three’ that virtually controls the governance of the International Cricket Council. India’s powers come from cricket’s massive following, broadcast deals and interest from corporates. The BCCI’s riches have only grown over time. It has received jolts from time to time only to bounce back strongly. The recent pullout of Pepsi as IPL title sponsors was quickly filled by Vivo, a Chinese mobile company.

Over by over, ball by ball, India shut the door on South Africa on a gruelling third day at the Feroz Shah Kotla, with Virat Kohli’s 83 leading the way. Kohli was the beneficiary of Imran Tahir’s no-ball when he made just five, and used the reprieve to score his best innings of the series, at his home ground, while lifting India from 57/4 to 190/4 in the company of Ajinkya Rahane, batting on 52. At stumps, India’s lead was a mammoth 403. The Kohli-Rahane stand was crucial to India emerging from two sessions of being bossed by South Africa’s bowlers, led by the revved-up Morne Morkel, who made the batsman work hard for runs. The first session, spanning
26 overs, produced just 51 runs for the loss of Murali Vijay and Rohit Sharma, both claimed by Morkel. In the afternoon, India added 65 for the loss of Shikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara across 28 overs. India’s quest for quick runs to bury South Africa were jolted by two ripping deliveries from Morkel inside the first seven overs of the day, which set in motion a morning session
of old fashioned, getdown-and-dirty cricket. India had four runs on the board when Morkel surprised Murali Vijay with a snorter in the fifth over, which the umpire gave caught-behind though replays showed the ball skimmed the batsman’s arm guard. Vijay’s gesture towards Kumar Dharmasena was one of displeasure, which will not have been missed by the match referee.
first defeat in the tournament. Australia started strongly and had the better share of possession and shots at the goal in the first 25 minutes of the game. Australia secured as many as four penalty corners in the opening two quarters but utilised just one. Australia earned their first penalty corner as early as in the second minute but Kieran Govers flick was saved by Neth-
erlands goalkeeper Jaap Stockmann. Stockmann again came to Netherlands rescue two minutes later when he denied Trent Mitton after he was set up by a fine pass from veteran Jamie Dwyer. Two minutes later Dwyer again combined with Mitton to set up another scoring opportunity but the latter pushed the ball wide with only Stockmann to beat.
Lately, Srikanth has had one of the worst runs in his international career, having exited five of his last six tournaments in the first round. The only time he did not lose the opener was when he lost the second round at the Denmark Open in October. However, fortunes

Accused of corruption, CP Bassi dares Kejriwal to open debate
Correspondent | New Delhi
Yet again, the Delhi Police and the Delhi government sparred with each other after allegations of corruption were raised against police commissioner BS Bassi in the Delhi Assembly on Friday. The Aam Aadmi Party legislators demanded a CBI probe against Bassi in a case of allotment of a flat in a cooperative group housing society in Rohini. The matter was raised the assembly by Greater Kailsah MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj. Bharadwaj alleged that Bassi got a flat allotted in the society by flouting rules in collusion with the officers in the Registrar of Cooperative Societies in 1989. Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said he has sought details from Registrar of Cooperative Societies. “I had called for related files. I was told some files have gone missing,” said Sisodia. The leader of opposition Vijender Gupta, who represents Rohini seat, defended the police commissioner stating that the allegations were po-

by the society’s general body,” he said. On allegations of undervaluing the property rate while selling the flat to his brother, Bassi said, “No property in Delhi can be registered by undervaluing the property rates. My property rate was above the circle rate when my brother purchased it from me.” Earlier in the day, Bassi had accused the AAP government of indulging in a “vicious propaganda” and said that he will take the “cheats” to the “graveyard”. The AAP legislators also demanded action against Bassi for his ‘graveyard’ comment.
not taken seriously. Investigation has revealed that accused of Shirish Bengali murder case Yunus Manzar had taken money from Jaykar Maharaj, but he was refusing to return the money. Yunus was into operation of gambling den which was closed for last some time. He was therefore in financial trouble. On the other hand Jaykar Maharaj was seeking his money back. It is learnt
that Maharaj had filed case in Pune court in connection with pending payment of over Rs 10 lakh by Yunus.Yunus had to visit Pune repeatedly for this case. He had threatened Maharaj to throw him from running train. Another man on target Prakash Modi is not so active in Bajrang Dal anymore, but he could be under target for his role in riots of 1992 and 2002.
bers of the association met a senior Gujarat government official, Dr Chandan Chatterjee, who explained the investment policies of the Gujarat government and also the Government of India. Xianping was of the view that the policies were very good, which included tax breaks, power subsidies,
etc. He however was not clear whether these policies were meant only for Indian investors or foreign investors also. But, he shared his opinion by saying that if these incentives were extended to them too; India would prove to be an attractive and favourable investment destination for setting up plants for the Chinese dyestuff manufacturers. “Additionally, India is currently the fastest growing economy in the world, which indicates a bright future for the country and also gives investors a positive outlook towards investing in India,” he informed.
ber 8 and the first ferry would move from Okha to Mandav on December 21. The ferry would run non stop between the two ports. ‘Around 450 km long road route between the two towns is covered in 11 to 12 hours but the distance through sea route will shrink to around 24 nautical miles or around 44 kms and the-stateof-the-art ferry will take around 75 minutes in covering the distance,’ Mr. Joshi said. ‘There are four classes, one non AC and three AC, in the ferry. The fare for the non AC class per person is
Rs 500 while that for AC (economy) will be Rs 700 and for AC (cafe) and AC (business) class will be Rs 800 and 900 respectively,’ he said. The Ferry service being started as a joint initiative of the Union Ministry for Shipping, Gujarat Maritime Board and the Tourism Department will facilitate the tourists visiting the ancient shrine city of Dwarka (around 30 km from Okha) to see Mandvi, famous for its beach and some other places in Kutchh in a much little period as compared to the road route.

other.” “It works in BJP’s favour that the Trinamool corners and ensures the minority vote. Also, the BJP needs Trinamool for the smooth passage for its bills. Trinamool, on the other hand, needs the BJP to ensure that the investigation in its various scams are scuttled,” he added. Yechury claimed that “protection of the democratic process” will be the Left Front’s primary issue in the run up to the state Assembly elections next year. “We have time and time again raised the issue of free and fair elections in Bengal with the Election Commission and will continue to do so,’’ he said, adding that
the party will not discuss any electoral tactics till the end of this year. Hinting that a certain amount of revamping and restructuring of the party was inevitable, the CPM leader said: “The erosion of the party in the state has stopped. Still, a certain number of people will have to be weeded out. But even when CPM was the ruling party in the state, West Bengal saw the highest number of disciplinary action and expulsion within the party.” Speaking on the tea garden workers in North Bengal allegedly dying of starvation recently, Yechury blamed both the Centre and state for situation.
