Gyanvapi Verdict: Win for Muslim Side as Varanasi Court Says No to Carbon Dating of ‘Shivling’ in Mosque The ‘Shivling’ claim has been heavily disputed by the Muslim side, who said the object was part of a ‘fountain’ and not a ‘Shivling’ Agency News : Varanasi A Varanasi court on Friday rejected the Hindu petitioners’ plea for carbon dating of what is claimed to be a ‘shivling’ in the Gyanvapi mosque premises. The court also dismissed all demands made for a scientific probe of the structure of the mosque. District Judge AK Vishvesha turned down the plea seeking scientific investigation and carbon dating of the ‘shivling’, citing Supreme Court directives for its safekeeping so that no tampering can be done, said government counsel Rana Sanjiv Singh.

Agency News : London British Prime Minister Liz Truss on Friday fired her finance minister and abandoned the key plank of her right-wing economic platform, battling to salvage her new government as restive Conservatives plotted her own demise. At her first news conference since succeeding Boris Johnson on September 6, Truss insisted she had acted “decisively” to bring about “economic stability” -- but the pound resumed its slide on currency markets, falling under $1.12. “We will get through this storm,” she said, taking only four questions, delivering
terse replies, and prompting one journalist to shout as she left: “Aren’t you going to say sorry?” Truss refused to comment on whether she retains any credibility after dismissing Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor of the exchequer for implementing her own agenda. “I want to deliver a low-tax, high-wage, high-growth economy,” she said. “That mission remains.” Kwarteng, who had rushed back early from international meetings in Washington, was replaced by the centrist former foreign secretary and Tory leadership candidate Jeremy Hunt as Britain’s fourth chancellor this year. Financial upheaval sparked by the new government’s September 23 plan to slash taxes -- financed via billions in more borrowing -- had subsided somewhat since the Bank of England intervened in bond markets.

‘Cong Needs to Work a Lot, Congress Will Restore Old Gujarat authority justifies 18% GST on paratha vs 5% SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Tie-up with State Giants’: Pension Scheme if Voted to Power in Himachal, Says on khakhra and chapati Shashi Tharoor India Ranks 107 Among 121 Priyanka Gandhi Countries in Global Hunger Index Editorial
India ranked 107 out of 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2022, sliding six spots since last year’s report, and recorded the highest child wasting rate in the world. The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool for comprehensively measuring and tracking hunger at global, regional, and national levels. With a score of 29.1, the level of hunger in India has been labelled “serious”. India’s ranking in the index has slid in the past two years. In 2020, India was ranked 94 out of 107 countries and 101 out of 116 countries in 2021. The report is prepared jointly by Concern Worldwide and German organisation Welt Hunger Hilfe. In Asia, Afghanistan with a rank of 109 is the only country behind India. All of India’s neighbouring countries fared better. Pakistan ranked 99, while Bangladesh was ranked 84, Nepal 81 and Sri Lanka 64. South Asia, the region with the world’s highest hunger level, has the highest child stunting rate and by far the highest child wasting rate in the world, the report said. Stunting is when a child has a low height for their age, usually due to malnutrition while a child is defined as ‘wasted’ if their weight is too low for their height. Wasting is also referred to as acute malnutrition. “India’s child wasting rate, at 19.3%, is the highest of any country in the world and drives up the region’s average owing to India’s large population,” it said. India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan each have child stunting rates between 3538%, with Afghanistan’s rate being the highest in the region. Undernourishment prevalence rose in India from 14.6% in 20182020 to 16.3% in 2019-2021. This translates into 224.3 million people in India being undernourished out of the total 828 million people globally. Child wasting which is a strong predictor of mortality among children under five years of age also worsened from 15.1% in 2012-16 to 19.3% in 2017-21. India, however, noted improvement in two parameters of child stunting from 38.7% in 2012-16 to 35.5% in 2017-21 and child mortality from 4.6% in 2014 to 3.3% in 2020. The GHI said stunting disparities between districts were particularly pronounced in India. “The example of India shows the importance of considering the subnational context when designing programs and policies to target child stunting. Researchers investigated the factors that contributed to a decline in stunting in four Indian states between 2006 and 2016: Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu,” it said. The report said the researchers found that stunting fell mainly in response to improvements in the coverage of health and nutrition interventions, household conditions, and maternal factors. “While improvements in household conditions were the most important factor for each of - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara the four states, the second most important factor varies by state.

‘Doctors Were Penalised...’: Tej Pratap’s Slam on Brother Tejashwi? Leader Recalls ‘When He Was Health Min’ Tej Pratap’s statement comes at a time when his younger brother Tejashwi Yadav is the current Bihar Health Minister Agency News : Patna Amid the deteriorating health system in Bihar, state Environment and Forest Minister Tej Pratap Yadav said that when he was the former state Health Minister, the doctors were penalised heavily for any negligence.

Opposition leader Vijay Kumar Sinha criticised Tejashwi due to rise in dengue cases in the state. The Bihar Environment Minister
also added that the doctors were wary every day when he was the state Health Minister. “When I was Health Minister of Bihar, I penalised doctors for negligence.

Agency News : New Delhi Congress presidential candidate Shashi Tharoor on Friday said only Congress can put up a good fight against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2024 general elections. Tharoor, however, also acknowledged that the grand old party has to “work a lot” it is necessary to form a mahagathbandhan or go to each state and form an alliance with the regional parties. Addressing a press conference in Bhopal, Tharoor said the Congress should stop leaders from leaving the party, adding that “it is very necessary.” He said he was gladdened by the reception he has got from partymen in Madhya Pradesh and admitted he did not get this kind of welcome in some states.

getting support from several senior leaders of the party, the Thiruvananthapuram MP said, “I am not going to comment anything against Kharge.

Tharoor, on the Gandhi family, said they are loved by all. “It will be childish for any Congress president to keep himself away from the Gandhi family. We will work along with the Gandhi family.” He also claimed that there is no difference between the BJP and its ideological wing Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh. On Thursday, seeking votes from delegates at the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee office, Tharoor said he wanted to bring a “change” in the organisation. He also said aimed to “bring back” the voters who did not support the Congress in the 2014 and the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

Priyanka Gandhi is set to launch the ‘Parivartan Pratigya Rally’ in Shimla Agency News : Shimla Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday promised to restore the old pension scheme for government employees in Himachal Pradesh if her party was voted to power in the Assembly elections. AICC general secretary Vadra said this at the ‘Parivartan Pratigya Rally’ held at Thodo Maidan in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan. She said the decision to restore the old pension scheme and provide one lakh jobs to unemployed youth would be taken in the first cabinet meeting if the Congress was voted to power in the state. Earlier, Gandhi paid obeisance at the Maa Shoolini Temple in Solan before formally launching
the Congress’ election campaign in the hill state. She also released the party’s election theme song on the occasion. Gandhi’s rally comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed two rallies in Una and Chamba. Modi also inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for various projects, including flagging off India’s fourth Vande Bharat Express from Una.Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, Himachal Congress president Pratibha Singh, Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Mukesh Agnihotri, the party’s election campaign committee chairperson Sukhvinder Sukhu and senior leader Rajeev Shukla also spoke on this occasion.
The goods and services tax (GST) came into effect more than five years back, as one unified tax to replace several levies in India. Deemed successful after collections of more than Rs 1 lakh crore a month since October 2020, GST was meant to simplify business across sectors. But it has also been causing confusion in some cases, such as the difference of GST rates applicable on the humble chapati and its more wholesome cousin, the paratha. In the latest verdict in the matter, the Appellate Authority for Advanced Ruling (AAAR) in Gujarat has said that consumers must pay 18 per cent GST on frozen parathas, as compared to 5 per cent on chapati. In response to an appeal filed by Ahmedabadbased Vadilal Industries, the Gujarat AAAR clearly mentioned the distinction between chapati or khakhra and paratha. Its rationale behind the decision is that a frozen paratha needs to be cooked for 3-4 minutes before it turns brown
and can be consumed, while roti and khakhra don’t require any cooking. The appellate body also cited the composition of paratha, which requires oil, flour, water and in some cases vegetables or methi. On the other hand chapatis just require water and flour, which is why they attract a lower GST. This contradicts the claim by paratha manufacturers that both chapati and paratha are made from the same principal ingredient, whole wheat flour. These are just some of the complications arising from the implementation of GST as well as changes made in rates since it was launched. Smaller e-commerce players have also been troubled due to the complicated process of registering for the tax meant to simplify operations.

All’s Fair in Polls & War? Influential Leaders, ‘Impartial’ Delegates Prove Cong Dice Loaded in Kharge’s Favour Agency News : New Delhi The Congress has issued seven strict guidelines for the presidential polls, the most important being Clause 3 which clearly says: “AICC general secretaries, CLP leaders shall not campaign for or against any contesting candidate. But if they wish to do so, they must first resign from their organisational post.” The first violation came from Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot who, in a video released
on Wednesday, strongly advocated for Mallikarjun Kharge, asking all voting delegates “to support Kharge and ensure he wins with a huge margin”. This, for some, may be seen as an attempt to influence the delegates, especially from his state of Rajasthan. However, the election committee of the Congress says since Gehlot has been a proposer for Kharge, he can campaign for the veteran leader.The delegates and their ‘impartiality’ remain a grey area.

The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) told the Delhi High Court on Friday that in spite of Twitter’s claim about taking down Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s alleged tweet revealing the identity of a minor Dalit girl, raped and murdered last year, the offence of making such disclosure survives. A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad was hearing a petition seeking registration of an FIR against Gandhi for allegedly revealing the identity of the minor victim by publishing a photograph with her parents on Twitter. Makarand Suresh Mhadlekar, a social activist, had moved the high court last year, claiming that by posting the photograph with the parents of the child victim, Gandhi violated the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, which prohibit the disclosure of identity of minor victims of sexual offences. Senior advocate Sajan Poovayya, representing Twitter, submitted on Friday before the court that “nothing survived” in the petition as the tweet in question has been “geo-blocked” and is presently not available in India. He also informed that initially Gandhi’s entire account
was suspended by the social media platform but it was later restored.Counsel appearing for the NCPCR as well as the petitioner, however, contended the offence still subsists. The counsel for the NCPCR urged the court to issue a notice to the child rights body on the petition to enable it to file an affidavit. “We believe the offence survives. If my lords issue notice to me I will file an affidavit. I will join hands with the petitioner,” the lawyer for the NCPCR said. While counsel for the petitioner emphasised the tweet was still available outside the country, Poovayya told the court Twitter was a world-wide platform which has blocked access to the content for the Indian territory. The court refused to issue notice to the child rights body at this stage and deferred the hearing on the plea till December 7 considering that the petitioner engaged a new lawyer to represent him in court. A 9-year-old Dalit girl had died under suspicious circumstances on August 1 last year, with her parents alleging she was raped, murdered and cremated by a crematorium’s priest in southwest Delhi’s Old Nangal village. On October 5, 2021, a bench headed by then Chief Justice DN Patel had issued notice to Twitter on the petition which alleged that Gandhi was “attempting to take political mileage out of the unfortunate incident”.

However, the BCCI has denied any bilateral series against Pakistan in their future tour plan (FTP). India last played Pakistan in the Asia Cup in 2008, when MS Dhoni’s team lost in the finals.
Whereas, Pakistan toured India in 2013 and played three ODIs and two T20Is under Misbah-ulHaq’s leadership. Since 2013, both of them have played each other during multi-nation or ICC events. It is now possible that both archrivals will face each other during multinational tournaments in Pakistan and India. The match between India and Pakistan was either seen in the Asia Cup, the World Cup, or any multinational tournament held in a different location. In another development, both the teams will not play any bilateral series between 2023 and 2027. In the FTP for the next four cycles shared with all cricketing countries, the board has kept those columns blank regarding any bilateral games with Pakistan.
Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand Of God’ Ball To Go Up For Auction
Agency News : New Delhi The ball that Diego Maradona used to score his infamous “Hand of God” World Cup goal for Argentina against England in 1986 will go under the hammer next month and could fetch up to 3 million pounds. Bidding will start on November 16 but prospective buyers can register online from October 28, Londonbased Graham Budd Auctions
said, adding it anticipates the ball to sell for 2.5-3 million euros (up to USD 3.4 million). “With the history surrounding the ball, we are expecting this lot to be hugely popular when it comes up for auction,” Graham Budd, chair of the auction house, said in a statement. The 1986 quarter-final between Argentina and England saw a heated build-up because of political tensions following the Falklands war and came to be defined by two contrasting goals scored by the late Maradona. For the first one, Maradona ran into the box, rose with England goalkeeper Peter Shilton and punched the ball into the net. He later said the goal had been scored “a little with the head of Maradona, a little with the hand of God”.

Agency News : Paris (France) Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the Europa League as Bukayo Saka’s goal clinched a 1-0 win at Bodo/Glimt, while Manchester United left it late to beat Omonia Nicosia. Saka struck midway through the first half in Norway to give the Gunners a third win in as many outings in Group A. “I’m really happy with the win against a team that has won the last 14 games here at home,” Arsenal coach Mikel
Arteta told. “We were expecting a really tough night here and we made a lot of changes again but I’m delighted to find a way to win.” Arsenal are two points clear of PSV Eindhoven, who thrashed FC Zurich 5-0. Bodo/ Glimt have four points from four matches. Scott McTominay spared United’s blushes with a 93rd-minute goal in a 1-0 win over Cypriots Omonia at Old Trafford. Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho pulled off a string of fine saves to frustrate a wasteful United before the Scotland midfielder fired home in stoppage time. ”You have to be patient sometimes. Their goalkeeper was a different class but we created enough chances and deserved to score in the end,”
BCCI Could Lose Rs 955 Crore if ICC Doesn’t Get Tax Exemption from Govt for Hosting 2023 World Cup
Agency News : New Delhi The BCCI could lose around Rs 955 crore if the central government sticks to its decision to levy 21.84 percent tax surcharge on ICC’s broadcast revenue from the 2023 ODI World Cup, according to a Board report. India is to host next year’s 50-over showpiece in October-November. Tax surcharge refers to “an additional charge, fee, or tax that is added to the cost of a
good or service beyond the initially quoted price”. A surcharge is often added to an existing tax and is not included in the stated price of the good or service. As per ICC norm, the host nation is required to get tax exemption from the government for hosting tournaments organised by the global body. Since India’s tax rules don’t allow such exemptions, the BCCI has already lost close to Rs 193 crore as the government didn’t exempt tax surcharge for hosting the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup. The BCCI is still fighting that case in the ICC tribunal “The ICC has now received a 20% (excluding surcharges) tax order for its broadcast revenue for the 2023 event from the tax authorities in India.”

Odia actress Tilottama Khuntia passes away at 49 Tilottama Khuntia reportedly died due to cardiac arrest
Agency News : Mumbai Odia television and film star Tilottama Khuntia passed away on Wednesday evening. The actress was aged 49 at the time of her demise As per several reports, Tilottama was admitted to a private hospital in Bhubaneswar on October 5, where she suffered
a cardiac arrest which led to her death. Tilottama is survived by her husband Himanshu Samal and two daughters Devika Arundhati Samal and Anubhuti Samal. While Himanshu is a writer and filmmaker, Devika is also an actress in the Odia film industry. Born and brought up in Cuttack, Odisha, Tilottama studied in the Government Girls High School in Cuttack. After completing her graduation, she joined the Odia film industry and is famously known to play several mother roles in Odia television shows and films. She is fondly known as ‘Tilo Apa’ by her fans. Tilottama Khuntia was a wellknown actress who has appeared in ‘mother’ roles in many recent Odia movies and TV shows. However, when she was young, she was also cast as the main lead in many wellknown Odia TV serials and films.
Code Name Tiranga : Parineeti Chopra’s film is a run-of-the-mill patriotic action-drama Both parts of the ‘Tiger’ franchise starring Salman Khan were phenomenal hits at the box office. They dealt with national security issues alongside sparkling romance and were well-made. Ribhu Dasgupta’s latest offering is nothing but ‘Tiger’ franchise lite. Shot across Turkey, the film is visually appealing but nothing more than that. Durga (Parineeti Chopra), an undercover agent along with Bakshi (Dibyendu Bhattacharya) reach Kabul, Afghanistan to expose Omar (Sharad Kelkar), who was involved in the 2001 Parliament attacks. Destiny plays its game with Durga when she falls in love with Dr Mirza (Harrdy Sandhu) on her mission. Ribhu, who earlier helmed ‘Girl On The Train’ (also starring Parineeti) seems to be in a comfort zone with the actress and they are hand and glove. He very well knows how to use her potential in each frame from start to end. The action sequences are extraordinarily designed and Pari’s stunts are clean and sharp. But unfortunately, there’s no new plot in ‘Code Name Tiranga’. The film looks like an action showreel of Parineeti and a documentary on Turkey’s tourism. Although the first half is engaging, sadly the second half is dragged a lot with unnecessary conspiracy, betrayal and deceit. The film lacks the momentum of an action-thriller especially when it has patriotism as its backdrop. Ribhu always has a great subject but he is a lazy and confused filmmaker. He takes a lot of time in unravelling the mystery and exposing the celebrated terrorist Omar. Parineeti has worked hard on the film and it is evident in the way she performs her stunts and Pashto dialect. The meltdowns are the highlights of her charcter. She might be a great performer but clearly, the film isn’t good. Harrdy looks hot and compliments Pari in their romantic track. He has a solid screen presence. Sharad is robust, rough and towering. Dibyendu along with others are sincere in their roles. But if the film is weak enough on the director’s front, even such a talented star cast cannot save it.
