A week after their return to Punjab, the 32 unions held a meeting at Mullanpur in Ludhiana district Saturday to deliberate on, among other things, political matters such as whether they should form a joint political front, float their own political outfits,
extend support to any mainstream political party, or steer clear of politics and continue to play their role as farmer organisations. The meeting however remained inconclusive, reflecting divergent views of different farmer unions on these matters. After the meeting, Buta Singh Burjgill, president of BKU Dakaunda, said: “We discussed the issue of political party formation by Gurnam Singh Chaduni and whether Punjab’s farmer organisations.

(Prime Minister) Narendra Modi says he is a Hindu, but when did he protect the truth? He said he would give two crore youth jobs, where did he do so? He asked people to bang thalis to get rid of Covid… Hindu or Hindutvadi?” the former Congress president said. Modi recently took a bath
in the Ganga in Varanasi ahead of inaugurating the first phase of the Kashi-Vishwanath corridor in his Lok Sabha constituency. “For the first time I saw just one person taking bath in the Ganga, removed Yogi (Adityanath), sidelined Rajnath Singh...

Prime Minister Is Hesitant To Surrender To Rahul Gandhi For Second Time
Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra ‘Teni’—India’s ‘Most Wanted’ hiding in plain sight! They take his name and they talk of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s motives. Which other man in India gets this distinction? Why is PM Modi reluctant to sack him from the Council of Ministers? What kind of hold does ‘Teni’ have on Modi? It isn’t that Ajay Mishra Teni is Modi’s common law sonin-law—‘Damaad’? And, yeah, what sort of sinister hold on Modi, not on Amit Shah, who is Teni’s senior in the Home Ministry, but Teni’s junior in running Modi into the ground. Is Ajay Mishra Teni to blame for his son’s alleged murderous run which claimed five deaths under the four wheels of a Thar jeep? See, they even got the killer vehicle’s moniker right—Thar!What is more, the deathdealing Thar’s registration is in Ajay Mishra’s name! Now, what kind of idiot kills with the weapon issued in his name? And then they say the Brahmin is innately intelligent, with more grey cells in the cranium than hot air in a balloon the size of Ashish Mishra’s head?The dark deed done, which son of an idiot goes into hiding and refuses to surface till the police post “Wanted”—or India’s equivalent for “Bolo”, the all-points bulletin—at Teni’s LakhimpurKheri mansion? Only the densest of the nation’s dumbest will do it.But they say even the best of criminal minds leave behind clues. In Teni’s case, it is his son Ashish Mishra and his dirty dozen, all 13 of them who are in judicial custody. The 13 “conspired to kill”, says the SIT, set up on the orders of the Supreme Court. But it seems like the apex court lacks the power to order “prime suspect” Ajay Mishra Teni’s arrest.The only people who get thrown under the bus are the nation’s poor. The Supreme Court, if you look at it, innately discriminates and if there are folks who consider the top court incapable of being fair and square, then they aren’t too far wrong. Why is Teni allowed to have a free run despite all five fingers pointing at him?Last heard Ajay Mishra Teni, MoS Home, was to be Chief Guest at the Sashastra Seema Bal’s 58th anniversary parade. Teni’s VVIP status has not taken a hit despite the choicest cuss words he hurled at a journalist who asked one too many questions of ‘Teni’ and got pinned to the wall like a fly in the ointment.Ajay Mishra ‘Teni’ is one fine fellow who when he is in the mood blurts out his murderous credentials, which then begs the question, why is Modi reluctant to throw Teni under the bus? The hell, Modi is ‘Prime Minister of India’, not some ornery bloke who strayed into view, like the vagabond in the buff!There are now people—the aamaadmi, Laxman’s common man—wondering if Teni knows Modi’s best known dark secret and Modi is afraider than a reindeer caught in the glaring headlights of the Thar. Nobody wants to be ‘road kill’, not even the five who got mowed down under the Thar in Lakhimpur-Kheri.The three others killed, who got beaten to death, their lives do not count. They were at the wrong place at the wrong time—nameless, ageless and useless to no one in particular. Even the BJP, the party they belonged to, wanted to have anything to do with them. The world’s largest political party is a joke! Modi should drop everything—most of all the expressway binge—and serve notice to Ajay Mishra ‘Teni.’ Like they say, Caesar’s wife should be beyond suspicion. Right now, there is a thick slab of suspicion sitting on Modi’s grey head! So, what is it that keeps Modi from kicking Teni in the butt and straight out of his Council of Ministers?Some say, it is Modi’s arrogance in full flow. Others say Modi will not sack anybody on the eve of important elections. Three, the BJP and Modi do not want to give the Opposition a rant to keep haranguing the ruling party with. Let’s admit not just Ajay Mishra Teni, but also Modi who is on a very sticky wicket. The day will come when Teni will be like the pup that got thrown under Modi’s car— like the puppy in Modi’s 2014 story.There is talk that Ajay Mishra Teni will eventually get his comeuppance—if not now, then whenever Modi thinks it’s the right time. Modi’s senseless cult-followers are blind as a bat when it comes to following Modi. They believe Modi is doing the right thing. But for Modi’s restraint, they would commit mass suicide at Ganga Ghat in Varanasi if it comes to thatCongress leader Rahul Gandhi has vowed to get the “criminal” behind bars even if it takes a decade. The farmers got outsmarted. They should have understood that at the end of the day, it was Modi’s inaction against ‘Teni’ that mattered more after Lakhimpur- Kapilkumar M. Hirpara Kheri. More than even the repeal.

Agency News:New Delhi Moving away from the Centre’s earlier stance of focusing on over 100 cities under its National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said that since different cities have different factors contributing towards air pollution, the government will now be looking at reducing pollution across air sheds to achieve

Asian Champions Trophy: After a slow start to the tournament, Olympic bronze-medallist India roared back into the five-team tournament with two consecutive wins. Agency News:Dhaka Assured of a place in the semifinals, defending champions India would look to continue their winning run when they clash with Japan in their final round-robin match of the Asian Champions Trophy men’s hockey tournament, here on Sunday. After a slow start to the tournament,
Olympic bronze-medallist India roared back into the fiveteam tournament with two consecutive wins. Playing their first tournament after a historic Olympic campaign, India were held to a 2-2 draw by Korea in their opener. However, the players lifted their games by leaps and bounds to trounce hosts Bangladesh 9-0 and then got the better of arch-
rivals Pakistan 3-1 on Friday. India are currently leading the standings with seven points from three games ahead of Korea (5), Japan (2) and Pakistan (1). Hosts Bangladesh are yet to register their presence
in the scoresheet having lost both their games so far. Coming into the tournament as clear favourites, the Indians were by far the better side among all other teams, simply on the basis of form and world standings.

Sara Ali Khan addresses age-gap between her and Akshay Kumar, Dhanush in Atrangi Re: ‘I trust my director with everything’ Directed by Aanand L Rai, Atrangi Re features Sara Ali Khan, Dhanush and Akshay Kumar in the lead roles. The film will release on December 24 Agency News:Mumbai Actor Sara Ali Khan addressed the thorny issue of older actors being paired with younger actresses in films. Sara stars in the upcoming Atrangi Re, which also features Dhanush and Akshay Kumar. While Dhanush is 12 years older than the 26-year-old Sara, Akshay Kumar is 28 years older than her. The film is directed by Aanand L Rai. Speaking to The Quint, Sara opened up about the issue and said, “ I
feel that as ultimately, films are the directors medium. You have to trust. I, as an actor, trust my director with everything, including with the casting. I believe–if we’re talking about this film in particular–then Aanand ji has thought about this cast, and has cast them accordingly. And if a filmmaker had to do the reverse, he had enough conviction and if he had actors are convinced in his conviction, then that would happen as
well. As long as filmmakers envision it, and actors believe in that vision, I don’t think there is anything more to it than that.” Rai had earlier discussed the topic with Mid-Day, after the film’s trailer attracted backlash. He had requested people to watch the film first, before jumping to conclusions. He said, “Atrangi means funnily weird. If a filmmaker shows patience in making a film, it’s his small expectation that people wait and understand the reason behind such a cast. We have a habit of judging people. I want people to watch the film for two hours, and react to it thereafter.” In the trailer, Sara’s character is forced into marriage with Dhanush’s character, however she seems to be in love with another man, assumed to be Akshay Kumar.

Perspective on Outlook 2022 by Mr. Ram Raheja, Director at S Raheja Realty “Real estate witnessed a blessing in disguise in 2020 as the consumer perception changed and home-buying became priority. The pandemic and lockdown was a silver lining for the real estate sector given it is a safe-haven and tangible asset at the time of crisis. This led to increased investment and home-buying in the last two years. A low home loan interest rate regime has been greatly instrumental in further stimulating India’s real estate sector, especially during the festive season. The sentiment for the real estate sector therefore remains positive and the same is also reflected in the S&P BSE realty index as it continues upward movement. We at S Raheja Realty have launched two new projects in 2020-21, Newlight and Z16; both luxury residential spaces in Mumbai.
