Maintaining that no surgical strikes were conducted in the past and the credit for the September 29 strikes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir should go to the Indian Army and citizens of the country, Defence Minster Manohar Parrikar Wednesday said the next response need not be a surgical strike since “unpredictability” keeps the enemy guessing. He said
the strikes were the result of a decision taken by the government of the day and it should be “cheered” for that. “We need surgical strikes but our next response need
not be by way of a surgical strike. There should be unpredictability in response. Otherwise, the enemy can study your pattern and prepare its strategy,” Parrikar said
Over 300 Dalits convert to Buddhism in Gujarat Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Over 200 people from the Dalit community from Gujarat converted to Buddhism in three separate events organised by Buddhist organisations here on the occasion of Vijaya Dashmi, organisers said Wednesday. Another 90 from the state converted to Buddhism in Nagpur, taking the total to over 300 Dalits. According to organisers, though conversions are carried out every year on Vijaya Dashmi, this year the numbers were high on account of the Una Dalit flogging incident. “As many as 140 Dalits converted to Buddhism at an event organised by Gujarat Buddhist Society in Dani Limda locality of Ahmedabad yesterday to mark Vijaya Dashmi,” Ramesh Banker, a mem-

at an event in Mumbai. Referring to Opposition criticism that the BJP was trying to take credit for the strikes, the Defence Minister said: “The credit for the surgical strikes go to the Army and 127 crore Indian citizens. We don’t take credit for the surgical strikes. However, it is the government that takes decisions and such a government should be cheered.” Describing the current situation “better than 2013”, Parrikar credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for securing the borders. “I should say that the national borders are much more secure under the leadership of the Prime Minister.”

That is the reason it took time to clear each room because we could not have made haste. There are too many rooms and too many floors, it was tedious process,” Narula said. The security forces launched their final assault on Wednesday morning after pounding
the seven-storeyed building with heavy explosives during the night. One of the dead bodies of the militants was recovered from the building in the morning after forces cleared the rooms, said director general of police (coordination) SP Vaid. He said the final assault was launched after they received no fire from the militants’ side. The security forces entered one portion of the
building and proceeded cautiously to avoid any casualties of their men as more militants could have been hiding inside. The army pressed in their elite para commandos to neutralise any surviving militants. This was the second time in the past eight months that militants have targeted the institute complex — comprising a guest house, a hostel and the main office building.

Jayalalithaa in hospital: Portfolios allocation to Panneerselvam ‘surprising’, says DMK chief M Karunanidhi (H.S.) | Chennai
ber of Gujarat Buddhist Academy, which organised the event here, said. Sixty-five people from the community converted to Buddhism at a separate event organised in Kalol in Gandhinagar district, while 11 more converted in Wadhwan in Surendranagar district. Some of them also embraced Buddhism at an event organised at Kalol. A total of 65 persons converted at this event, P G Jyotikar of Buddhist Society of India, said. He said while
conversion is an ongoing event, the Dalits prefer to embrace Buddhism on Vijaya Dashmi because on this day in 1956, Babasaheb B R Ambedkar took to Buddhism alongwith other Dalits at an event in Nagpur. “Most Dalits prefer this day for conversion, as Ambedkar himself converted to Buddhism on this day in 1956. The reaction to the Una Dalit atrocity incident was evident in response we received from the converts,” Jyotikar said.
DMK chief M Karunanidhi on Wednesday termed as “surprising” Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao’s remarks stating that the allocation of portfolios held by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to Finance Minister O Panneerselvam was done “as per her advice”. “This is because a question has arisen among some people if Jayalalithaa had (actually) signed the file and rendered advice (regarding) allotting her portfolios to Finance Minister Panneerselvam,” Karunanidhi said in a statement here. “The Governor’s communi-
que on Tuesday that this (portfolios’ allocation) has been done on the advice of Chief Minister is surprising,” he said. His views come a day after his party treasurer and son M K Stalin welcomed the allocation of portfolios held by Jayalalithaa to her trusted aide. Karunanidhi claimed that when a slew of leaders, including Congress Vice President Ra-

There was no official statement from the government though she has been hospitalised for the past 19 days and it has also been said that she may have to stay in the hospital for a lon-
ger period, he said. He said the announcement that Panneerselvam will take care of Jayalalithaa’s portfolios can be “accepted” as an arrangement for “administrative convenience”. The “suspicion whether the Governor had fully considered all the dimensions of the Constitution…before giving his nod for the new arrangement cannot be fully ignored,” he added. He recalled his earlier view that “till such time Chief Minister Jayalalithaa resumes her duties, our plea is that an appropriate, legal arrangement should be made to fulfil the essential needs of the Tamil Nadu people”.

Why India can’t have reservations and world class universities
The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has last week put out a policy document on establishment of world class institutions, the guidelines of which are uploaded on UGC’s website for inviting comments/views and suggestions from academicians and stakeholders. People in general have also been invited to go through the policy document, regulation and guidelines and send their views and suggestions which if found suitable might be incorporated in future. The government’s policy towards creating world-class educational institutions continues to astound. At one level, as the draft policy on this points out, the fact that India does not have even one college in the world’s top 100, is shameful—the country has over 700 universities and 35,000 colleges while Singapore, which has a tenth the number of universities, has two in the top-100. To that extent, the plan to create 20 world-class institutions—10 each in the public and private sector—is a good one. While it does not formally say the current UGC system is killing India’s higher education sector, the fact that the plan to create top-class institutions explicitly talks of “complete flexibility in fixing of curriculum and syllabus, with no UGC mandated curriculum structure” and UGC regulations “relating to inspection shall not apply” to them makes it clear the plan is to start removing UGC’s chokehold in a few places to begin with; the government planning to select these institutions based on their academic and research plan, among others, is a welcome break from the past. Other serious pain points like government interference in deciding fees or faculty remuneration are also to be done away with—of course, the fact that a limit of 30% has been put for students who can be from overseas, and 25% for faculty, makes it clear the government is ready to cede full control. Even more worrying, after all the talk of the only criterion being that admissions be need-blind—if a student qualifies on merit, adequate scholarships have to be available for the needy—the government brings in the issue of reservations and says these need to be implemented by these institutions. There is some confusion over whether this applies to privately-owned institutions since the discussion paper talks of “World Class Public Institutions” that need to implement this—but the section that talks of this appears in the part of the paper that deals with private institutions. In any case, the fact that this will apply to government-owned institutions is worrying enough, and should settle the debate over whether the government intends to push for faculty reservations in the IIMs, a subject of confusion over the past few months. Given the cost of setting up a truly worldclass institution, the draft policy does well to talk of how they must have a corpus of R200 crore, a guaranteed pipeline of another R500 crore and a plan to raise R1,000 crore, but it is odd to insist the sponsoring organisation must have members whose total net worth is R8,000 crore with at least one member having a net worth of R2,000 crore—that could tilt the field in favour of rich industrialists. And it is surely galling to know the privately-funded institutions vying to be in the list of the top-10 are not going to be allowed to use the word “university” but “may mention the words ‘World Class Institutions Deemed to be University’ within parenthesis suffixed thereto”.

Brr, Shah Rukh Khan’s first look Shivaay: Vir Das is the Pakistan of Imtiaz Ali’s The Ring is a joke link in Ajay Devgn film
(H.S.) | New Delhi Shah Rukh Khan likes to keep it funny. Whether he is holding an ‘Ask SRK anything’ session on Twitter or giving the media quotable quotes, SRK likes to give us an Easter egg. However, there are times his jokes go awry. Like on Tuesday night when he tweeted the first look of Imtiaz Ali’s The Ring starring Anushka Sharma in the lead NOT. The two were covered in jackets, scarves, caps and
all kinds of woollens with thin slits showing only their eyes. The ever witty Khan wrote, “‘First Look’ of Imtiaz Ali’s film, allegedly called The Ring. Not a horror film nor a love story…it’s a Ninja epic!” While most of his fans got the joke, as the comments on his tweet showed, SRK had second thoughts. He wrote in another tweet, “The last tweet about the film is a joke. Clarifying for those who don’t get my
drift & end up distorting stuff. It’s just cold in Budapest!” Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma have been shooting for The Ring at various locations in Europe. After finishing their schedule in Prague and Amsterdam, they have now landed in Budapest and it is really cold out here. SRK has been constantly tweeting, as is his wont when shooting abroad, and Budapest’s cold is kind of his favourite subject. He had earlier asked girls to give him hugs and boys to send him their leather jackets to keep himself warm. On Tuesday, the actor had earlier held a session with his fans where he answered all their questions. And we mean ALL their questions.

Shraddha Kapoor has her hands full with multiple projects this year. However, what the actress is going to try for the first time is a biopic, that too of a controversial figure, Haseena Parkar who was don Dawood Ibrahim’s sister. The actor took to the Twitter to announce that she has already begun shooting for the film, which has been titled Haseena- The Queen of Mumbai. Shraddha through her official Twitter handle, posted, “So excited!1st day of shoot of my next film #HASEENA begins with @ SiddhanthKapoor all the best @apoorvalakhia! #HaseenaBegins @haseenamovie.” Shraddha, on her official Twitter handle, posted, “So excited!1st day of shoot of my next film #HASEENA begins with @SiddhanthKapoor all the best @ apoorvalakhia! #Haseen-
(H.S.) | New Delhi While the stills, teaser and trailer of Shivaay have kept us enthralled about its view and the VFX used in it, Vir Das promises that there is a lot more in the film for the audience. The actor, who is going to play a pivotal role in the film, is all praise for the action sequences in Ajay Devgn’s upcoming film Shivaay. The Delhi Belly actor reveals he is playing a Pakistani hacker in the film. “It’s not a negative role. I am playing a Pakistani hacker. I am under con-
tract, I can’t reveal much details about the film,” he added. He said that he does not think anyone else has been able to pull off action the way Ajay has done in this flick. “I think he (Ajay) has been able to pull off the story very well. I think nobody has been able to pull off action the way Ajay has done in Shivaay. It will be a visual treat for everyone. He (Ajay) called me and said come to office. His team of writers narrated the film and I liked it,” Vir said. Apart from Shivaay, Vir Das will also appear in
31st October, a film based on the emergency period in India. The film was supposed to be released on October 7 but now has been rescheduled to October 21 because of some cuts demanded by the Delhi High Court. Meanwhile, the actor is concentrating on his big film this year in which he would share the screen space with Ajay Devgn for the very first time. Shivaay is directed by national award-winning actor, Devgn himself. The film will also feature actress Saira Banu’s grandniece, Sayyeshaa Saigal, Polish actress, Erika Kaar and British child actor Abigail Eames. It is set for a major clash with Ae Dil Hai Mushkil at the box office this Diwali. However, the actor has kept himself refrained from comparisons and is prepping up for the clash and reviews.
dated adult version of the 1989 film Chandni. Rishi Kapoor-starrer Chandni, also starring Sridevi, is a superhit of its time. Rishi Kapoor took to Twitter to applaud Befikre trailer and wrote: “Befikre. An outstanding hot trailer! Chandni ka 2016 updated “adult version”. Exotic locale,natural actors, naughty,witty,funny, ro-

na. This is the first time that Twinkle will be appearing on the show. After the buzz about Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt beginning the promotions of their upcoming film, Dear Zindagi, with this candid show, it is being said that the real-life couple Akshay and Twinkle will come together to spill some beans about their favourite and well, not-so-favourite people
from the industry. The couple has been refusing to come to Karan’s show irrespective of multiple invites sent to them. While Akshay, reportedly under the influence of Twinkle, did make an appearance on the show, Twinkle has stayed away from any television appearance ever since she got married. While the Khiladi Kumar is somebody who has never encountered any controversy, thanks to his diplomacy, his wife has been attracting eyeballs with her tweets. Well, who does not remember the Twitter spat she had with the writer Chetan Bhagat? It is surely going to be fun to look at these two on screen together.

aBegins @haseenamovie.” The film, which is being directed by the Shootout at Lokhandwala helmer Apoorva Lakhia, will cover the story of Haseena’s life from the age of 17 to 40. While playing 17-year-old is not going to be that challenging for the actor, watching Shraddha at the age of 40 will be quite exciting. Shraddha’s elder brother Siddhanth Kapoor will essay the role of Dawood. Initially, it was Sonakshi Sinha who had agreed to do the role of Haseena but she later opted out. This is the first time that both brother-sister duo will be seen on the screen. While
we know that Shraddha is in the film, the news about its lead hero is not yet revealed by the makers. Who will it be, any guesses? Well, let us just wait and watch. Meanwhile, Shraddha is prepping up for the release of her musical drama, Rock On 2, which brings back characters from the original, Rock On. Also, the actor has wrapped up shooting for Half Girlfriend, starring Arjun Kapoor. While Rock On 2 is scheduled for its release on November 11, Half Girlfriend, which is a Chetan Bhagat’s novel adaptation, is scheduled to release on 17 May 2017.

In the small teaser, we see Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in the middle of a crazy party, having a lot of fun. Well, seems like the meaning of breakup isn’t going to be the same anymore.
Befikre trailer, since the time it landed, is being talked about for its hot content and Ranveer Singh’s striptease. Filmmaker Aditya Chopra’s upcoming romantic film stars Ranveer and Vaani Kapoor in the lead roles and is hitting the headlines for its hotness quotient. Ranveer and Vaani play Dharam and Shyra in the film who are with each other without any commitments. Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor too seems to be very impressed with the film’s trailer. He has lauded the trailer in his own way. The actor feels that the film is like an up-

Agency | New Delhi Fingerprint Scanner – a tiny sensor placed at the back or embedded into the home button – was the big differentiator among smartphones sometime back. It’s second half of 2016 and dual rear camera system is now becoming the new common differentiator. Right from Apple to Coolpad, OEMs are going crazy about packing dual rear camera system on their devices. While HTC deserves to be credited for bringing the concept to a wider platform like Android, Huawei gets accolades for making consumers take note with its Leica branded P9. Huawei P9 had an extremely capable camera and its Leica style monochrome was just second to none but the price point made it an enthusiast smartphone camera rather than a compelling buying option.
NASA resupply mission to space station postponed
Two months after her inspiring performance at the Rio Olympics, Dipa Karmakar is in the middle of a tricky situation. The Indian gymnast who finished fourth in the vault category in Rio and put India on the global map of gymnastics, is now returning one of her presents she received on her return to India. Dipa alongwith India’s two medallist from Rio, PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik, received a BMW car each in September. However, soon Dipa will return her car to original owner V Chamundeswaranath, president of the Hyderabad Badminton Association, owing to maintenance issues. “It wasn’t Dipa’s decision. Rather it was a collective decision taken by her family and me,” BS Nandi, Dipa’s coach told The Times of India. “There are two main reasons behind it. First, there

is no BMW service center in Agartala and secondly, the roads are not suitable to drive a posh car such as this.” Dipa, who hails from Agartala, and her family are having difficulty maintaining a car as expensive as BMW. Given the narrow roads, it will be difficult for them to keep the car and the Hyderabad Badminton Association has accepted their request. “We have spoken to the concerned authority and gladly, they have no problems with it. It was also suggested to them that if possible, they transfer the amount equivalent to the value of
the car to Dipa’s bank account. And if not, we will be happy with whatever amount they decide,” he said. Dipa will next participate in the Challengers Cup in Germany and the Gymnastics Federation of India has told Nandi that Dipa’s participation depends if she can be at the six-member Indian camp. “According to the Federation, we must at least prepare a three-member team. Otherwise, we won’t be able to participate in the Challengers Cup. The camp has also suggested that I begin a preparatory camp as soon as possible,” Nandi said.
albeit from Argentina, has become the creative fulcrum in the Mumbai team, despite the presence of influential striker Diego Forlan. The Mumbai outfit has been accused of lacking flair in the first two matches of the third edition of the Indian Super League (ISL), but the performance in Tuesday night’s match against Atletico de Kolkata, which ended in a 1-1 draw, was a much better attacking effort, if only for the first half. In the absence of Forlan, who was out with an injury, the diminutive Defederico excelled in
the attacking midfielder role which Moritz had made his own in the inaugural edition for Mumbai. Defederico started the first half on the left flank, often drifting into the centre, right behind Boithang Haokip. The latter could have scored thrice in the first half itself, thanks to through balls from the fleet-footed Argentine. One of these passes led to Haokip running with the ball in acres of space but his shot came off the crossbar. Only minutes ago, his run had been foiled by the Kolkata goalkeeper Debjit Majumdar after a similar Defederico through ball. Soon, a defensive mistake from Arnab Mondal allowed Defederico to have the ball in Atletico’s final third and the Argentine ran at the Atletico defence before finishing off the move with a calm shot into the bottom right corner.

Agency | washington The US space agency and its partner Orbital ATK have postponed the launch of the companys next commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station to no earlier than October 16, as the agency prepares for tropical storm Nicole at its tracking site in Bermuda. The new date of the arrival of the Orbital ATK Cygnus spacecraft to the space station is to be determined, NASA said in a statement. The mission was earlier scheduled for launch from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on October 13. Cygnus will carry approximately 2,313 kg of cargo, including crew supplies and vehicle hardware, to the orbiting laboratory to support dozens of science and research investigations, NASA said. Tropical Storm Nicole is expected to reach Bermuda as a hurricane on October 13. “The tracking station at Bermuda is required to conduct the Antares launch from Wallops,” said Steven Kremer, chief of the Wallops Range and Mission Management Office.
World Arthritis Day: Here’s how you can keep your bones healthy
Agency | New Delhi Rheumatic or musculoskeletal conditions comprise over 150 diseases and syndromes, which are usually progressive and associated with pain. They can broadly be categorised as joint diseases, physical disability, spinal disorders, and conditions resulting from trauma. Musculoskeletal conditions are leading causes of morbidity and disability, giving rise to enormous healthcare expenditures and loss of work. Arthritis is a disease related to joints and the cartilage where the cartilage gets thinner and thinner. The various types of arthritis include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, spinal disorders. Common dietary mistakes that have a harmful effect on our bones, said Balvinder Rana, MS Orthopaedics at Fortis Escorts Research Institute. Too much salt in food causes us to lose calcium through urine to release extra salt. Some of this calcium comes from the bones which can lead to weak bones or Osteoporosis in the long run. Some studies show that a reduction in salt intake from 10 to 5 gm/day would have the same effect on bone strength as an increase in calcium intake of 1000 mg/day.
(H.S.) | Mumbai Deja vu lurked in the corner of the Mumbai Football Arena on Tuesday.

He played only seven matches that season, but had three goals, including a hattrick against FC Pune City, besides a couple of assists. Two seasons on, Matias Defederico, another South American,
Algeria fire coach Milovan Rajevac after disappointing World Cup result (H.S.) | Algiers
Milovan Rajevac became the second coaching casualty of the opening round of African World Cup group qualifiers at the weekend when he was sacked by Algeria on Tuesday. The country’s football federation announced the decision in the wake of the 1-1 home draw with Cameroon on Sunday, which marked a disappointing start to their Group B campaign. The Serbian had only been in charge for two matches but was criticised by several players for his tactics in the game in Blida, where Algeria had hoped to make a
winning start to a difficult group, the Algerian Press Service news agency added. He met with the federation president Mohamed Raouraoua on Tuesday to discuss the fallout from the match, after which his departure was announced. Algeria, who next face Nigeria in November, will now be looking for
their third coach within a year. Frenchman Christian Gourcuff quit the job in April to return to Ligue 1. Rajevac, 62, was previously coach of Ghana, when they became only the third African country to reach the World Cup quarter-finals at the 2010 tournament in South Africa, and Qatar.
Virat Kohli is happy that his bowlers have been able to decimate a quality New Zealand side on tracks which are not exactly rank turners which is an ample testimony that Ravichandran Ashwin and company are capable of winning matches irrespective the surface provided. “We knew before the series that people will start talking about pitches. We knew pitches will not be dry as monsoon is everywhere and especially in Kolkata, which is a newly-laid wicket. We knew our abilities and we knew we should be good enough to do well on any surface and against any team,” Kohli told mediapersons at the post-match conference. Kohli believes that a right step has been taken in ensuring that bowlers are not overtly dependant on spin friendly tracks. “That’s the right step we have taken. We believe in our skill and not believe
in creating conditions or atmosphere which might suit us partially. We wanted to express ourselves. We finished two games in four days and that gives us a lot of confidence,” said Kohli. Asked about Harbhajan Singh’s recent tweet that had pitches been as helpful earlier in his career he and Anil Kumble would have grabbed many more wickets, Kohli pointed out the World T20 Cup game (at Nagpur) when the same set of New Zealand spinners had outshone the same set of Indian bowlers. “Even if it is a turning pitch you have to bowl well. Spin is just not something to happen only off the
pitch. It depends on how many revs (revolutions) you give to the ball and the use of the shoulder. When we lost to New Zealand in the World Cup, I quite clearly remember, suddenly their spinners were quality bowlers and we were found out! I don’t see anyone talking about it now.” “The same (New Zealand) spinners had played (in this series). Why did not they pick up wickets? It’s as simple as that. Our fast bowlers (also) picked up wickets everywhere. Give a guy a cement track to bat on. He should have a mindset to do so. It’s as simple as that. That’s all I am going to sum up.”
Twitter, which can very well break the internet, is a congratulatory message to India off-spinner R Ashwin alongwith a message that got their wives involved as well. After Ashwin took a career best 13 wickets for 140 runs in the third Test
against New Zealand to help India win the series 3-0, Sehwag congratulated Ashwin for his manof-the-series award. He also wrote why Ashwin was in a hurry to finish the match early. “Congrats @ashwinravi99 for an incredible 7th Man of the series. Only a married man can understand d urgency of going home early. #FamilyTime,” Sehwag tweeted. To this tweeted, Ashwin felt amused but it was the reply from his wife Prithi that prompted a reply from Sehwag’s wife Aarti as well.
next month. “I have been informed that chief coach Anil Kumble has advised Wriddhiman to take rest after three back-to-back Test matches. He is not expected to play in the first two Ranji Trophy games for Bengal. He has had a lot of workload and with the England Test matches coming up, it is only fair that he gets adequate rest,” Bengal cap-
tain Manoj Tiwary said from Jaipur, where they would be playing Uttar Pradesh from tomorrow. It is expected that Wriddhiman will also not play the next Ranji game against Punjab from October 20-23 but is expected to play against Railways from October 27-30. That game will act as good match practice ahead of England series.

Kumble asks Saha to rest for two Ranji matches (H.S.) | New Delhi
India’s chief coach Anil Kumble has advised Test specialist Wriddhiman Saha to take complete rest for two weeks which will mean that the wicket-keeper batsman will be missing Bengal’s first two Ranji Trophy games against Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. Wriddhiman, who will be 32 in less than a fortnight had kept wickets for more than 452 overs during the three Test matches against New Zealand. Add to it, two knocks of 50 plus in pressure situation at the Eden Gardens to win the Man of the Match award.

GIFT City invites realty developers to The Season Of Delight participate in the next phase of development Begins at TBZ- The Original GIFT City is also in full Sunvilla News | Gandhinagar
(H.S.) | New Delhi October 8 will be remembered as the date when India crossed the Rubicon. Nothing as dramatic as the “surgical strikes” happened on this day. On this date, the government of Uttar Pradesh decided to award a compensation of Rs 25 lakh to the family of Ravin Sisodia, a resident of Bisara, a village in Dadri. Sisodia died in jail due to multiple organ failure. Only one death. An insignificant figure when compared with the numbers of Muslims killed in Bhagalpur or Nellie or Gujarat or the Sikhs killed in 1984 in Delhi and elsewhere. But the shock it generated was felt across the nation.
Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), which has crossed 700 million international transaction mark in a very short period of time through its International Financial Services Center (IFSC), has as part of its next phase development announced the launch of Office Buildings in the SEZ & Non SEZ Areas and invited proposals from international and national developers to participate in developing these Office Buildings. GIFT City has so far received good response from the leading realty developers as well as leading Banking, Financial services and Insurance(BFSI) and IT players. It has already made allotments of over 15 million square feet of built

Speaking about the latest development at GIFT City, Mr. Ajay Pandey, MD & Group CEO, GIFT City said, “Apart from BFSI and IT players, GIFT

Their reputation of developing Grade ‘A’ properties and experience across all real estate domains would provide synergies with the world-class services and infrastructure that GIFT City would offer. These projects once completed would also generate several thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities.”

Congress has blamed the state BJP government of being hypocritical when it came to swadeshi as the government itself used Chinese goods in government projects and was also creating a Chinese manufacturing hub at Sanand. Reacting to Chief Minister Vijay Rupani appealing people to adopt swadeshi at a function of the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) on Tuesday, Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi said that it was highly absurd for CM
to talk about Swadeshi when the Sardar Patel statue being built at Narmada dam at Kevadia Colony was using materials built in China. “When Gujarati businessmen can stop export of vegetables to Pakistan involved in terror activities in India, why can’t BJP government bring a ban on Chinese goods in the state?”, questioned Doshi, adding that “instead of just making statements about swadeshi, the government should take concrete steps in import and sale of Chinese goods in
the state”. Pointing out that the state government was in the process of setting up an exclusive manufacturing hub for Chinese companies at Sanand, he said what right did the government and CM had to talk about swadeshi. “While Prime Minister Narendra Modi uses the carpet manufactured in China for yoga, Gujarat CM gives us lesson in swadeshi”, remarked Doshi, adding “it is really funny”. “Chinese government is supporting Pakistan on the issue of Masood Azhar, sending terrorists in India. And yet our government is silent about China. Where is BJP’s nationalism and patriotism?”, asked Doshi. More than 55,000 small scale industries had closed in Gujarat due to flooding of Chinese goods.
Thirty-two years after a case of alleged corruption was lodged and 17 years after the chargesheet was filed against an IPS officer, now retired, the Gujarat High Court Monday granted relief to A M Chauhan, while allowing his petition for quashing the chargesheet. The case was pending in the High Court since 2003. It was defaulted thrice before it was finally disposed of by the division bench of Justice M R Shah and Justice A S Supehia. Chauhan was the supervising officer in a 1984 murder case: a Muslim man was found murdered at a farmland in Sidhpur. The victim’s family accused four persons of the murder, but
the investigating officer found only one person to be the suspect. The family of the deceased complained against Chauhan and the investigating officer (IO) for demanding bribe, accusing them of shoddy investigation. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) lodged a complaint against Chauhan and the investigating officer in the same year. Chauhan said that following an inquiry, the ACB concluded that the allegations of demand-
ing bribe was not true. The ACB investigation into the faulty investigation continued. In the meanwhile, Chauhan was transferred and the local police arrested all four suspects. “In 1999, I was served the chargesheet in the case out of the blue. I had lost the memory of the case by the time I was served the chargesheet. In the meanwhile, the sessions case which tried the murder case had acquitted all the accused.

Gujarat High Court grants relief to former officer in 32-yr-old ‘corruption‘ case Horrific crimes against women witnessed in the Goa state IPS Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Goa failed Monika Ghurde. The elegant 39-year-old moved to live in the sunshine state to make a new beginning in her life because of the famous tolerance, tranquillity and “live-and-let-live” atmosphere that attracts people from every part of the world. This reputation makes Goa especially sought after and cherished by independent Indian women, who find it a haven compared to the brutish, judgemental, and sexist pressures of the rest of the country. But every scrap of that positive image seems a cruel joke now after gentle, whimsical Ghurde was found assaulted and murdered in her Sangolda home on the morning of October 7. The shocking and horrific nature of the crime immediately recalls Scarlett Keeling’s murder on the beach at Anjuna in 2008. But that particular senseless tragedy was easier to dismiss as an anomaly. Fifteen-year-old Keeling was high on a cocktail of drugs, her family had evidently negligently left her on the beachfront while they travelled to another part of the country, she spoke no local languages and was wandering a notorious beachfront late at night. But Ghurde was attacked in her own home, in a prosperous neighbourhood, in the heart of a stable Goan village being steadily remade with upscale apartments, trendy restaurants, and lifestyle stores. For precisely that reason, it is imperative that state administration and civil society alike ensure a rigorous, painstaking investigation results in full justice being served
for Monika Ghurde. The careless, shoddy mismanagement of every aspect of the Scarlett Keeling case ensured lasting damage to Goa’s reputation, and led to a total lack of trust in both police and the state judicial processes. Back then, every authority tried to cover up the incident, and – to lasting disgrace – the first official post-mortem declared “accidental death.” It took a painful, extraordinarily brave campaign by the teen’s mother, Fiona Mackeown, who faced down systematic slander to force the second examination, which pointed to a callous murder. There is no doubt Monika Ghurde’s barbarous murder is similarly inconvenient and embarrassing to the administration, coming as it does just before tourist season and a series of high-profile events, including the BRICS Summit. There will be immense pressure on the police to quickly resolve the case. But that is precisely the environment in which costly mis-steps and mistakes are made, where dubious evidence and unlikely suspects suddenly materialize. If that happens, Goa will lose doubly and endlessly, a negative publicity spiral identical to what ensued after the thoroughly botched prosecution of Keeling’s murder. Though the insider-outsider debate continues to rage in Goa, as with nearly every other corner of the globe, there is no doubt the state was quietly, subtly enriched when Monika Ghurde chose to make it home. - By Kapil Hirpara
