Police today detained Patel quota stir leader Hardik Patel along with 35 of his supporters from Varachha area here for trying to take out the ‘Ekta Yatra’ without taking prior permission from authorities. “We detained Hardik Patel along with his 35 supporters from Mangadh chowk in Varachha area of the city ahead of their rally today,” Surat Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana. “They were detained in the interest
of law and order as they did not seek any permission from the state authorities to take out this rally,” added Asthana. Hardik and others were taken to police headquarters after the detention, he said. Speaking to reporters condemning the police action, the 22-year-old firebrand leader said, “The Gujarat government wants to muzzle our voice. They want to harass us. The Gujarat government and the state police wants violence in the state. This act is against the spirit
of democracy.” Hardik had till yesterday kept his plans secret about the Ekta rally after being denied permission to hold it from Dandi to Ahmedabad. Earlier today, Hardik’s associate and the convener of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) in Surat- Alpesh Kathiria-announced that they will take out the rally from Mangadh chowk in Varachha area of the city. Hardik, who has emerged as the prominent face of Patels in Gujarat, has been spearheading the agitation to get reservation for Patel community under Other Backward Class (OBC). In past two weeks, Hardik had announced to take out the “reverse Dandi March” twice, but canceled the plan after Navsari district administration de-
nied permission to them. Hardik has been hogging limelight after his aggressive speech in a rally on August 25 and the subsequent violence that gripped the state after his detention which left 10 people dead in Gujarat. The police has also been put on high alert fearing the repeat of August 25 violence that gripped the entire state. Additional security forces including BSF and CRPF are also being deployed in sensitive areas of cities like Ahmedabad, Mehsana and Surat, where maximum violence was reported after a PAAS led massive rally in Ahmedabad last month got out of control.

Gujarat had witnessed violence after Hardik’s detention on August 25, in which ten people were killed in the state and property of crores was damaged as well.

This act is against the spirit of democracy.” Hardik Patel had earlier announced to take out a ‘reverse Dandi Yatra’ from Dan-

This is a history-making election year for Bihar
The state of Bihar itself came into existence 80 years ago this year, by a provision of the Government of India Act, 1935. India became a Republic 65 years ago, in 1950, with a great Indian, born to Bihari parents, Rajendra Prasad, becoming our first President. Forty years ago, in 1975, a brave and noble son of Bihar, Jayaprakash Narayan, was taken into custody under the National Emergency of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. And 25 years ago this year, in 1990, Lal Krishna Advani’s rath yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya was stopped in Samastipur, Bihar, by the then chief minister Lalu Prasad.Eighty, 65, 40, 25 make landmark anniversary years. Such anniversaries are called ‘musical’ or ‘chiming’ anniversaries. Together they make 2015 an important year, an anniversary-filled year, for the state and the people of Bihar. Do these disparate happenings resolve into a discernible ‘meaning’? Objectively speaking, no. Each development took place by a momentum of its own, driven by trends that had little to do with each other. Did the separation of Bihar and Orissa hold any particular meaning for Bihar? It did, for Orissa, in that it was no longer a junior partner yoked to an untenable jointure. But for Bihar? Did becoming a Bihari Bihar mean anything to its people? One could take a cynical stand and say the poor of Bihar were poor before and after 1935. That would not be incorrect but would be not a complete picture. The elections held across India under the 1935 Act provided for separate electorates for Muslims, a divisive step which was opposed by nationalists. But given the compelling circumstances the Congress went into election mode and rendered a good account of itself. It won in eight of the 11 provinces. Rajagopalachari became premier as chief ministers were then called, in Madras, GB Pant in UP, BG Kher in Bombay, Khan Sahib in NWFP, NB Khare in CP, Gopinath Bordoloi in Assam and in the new provinces, Biswanath Das in Orissa and Srikrishna Sinha in Bihar. Sribabu would have made an unconvincing premier of undivided Bihar and Orissa but with the tall Bihari heading the first Congress government of Bihar, a certain felicity took place and a certain aspiration came to fruit. Proof of the mood? None. Identity is felt, not weighed. Rajenbabu’s becoming India’s first President was a matter of national rejoicing, but for Bihar it was a moment of rapture. Gandhi’s lieutenant in the Champaran satyagraha of 1917 and a turbine of relief after the Bihar earthquake of 1934, the gentle but focused and tireless Rajenbabu was a dearly loved and respected figure in Bihar.

Amy Jackson’s first reaction on getting ‘Singh Is Bliing’
Agency | New Delhi
Agency | New Delhi Actress Amy Jackson believes it is important for heroines to do action films. Amy will be seen doing action stunts in her upcoming film Singh Is Bliing and she is glad she got a chance to try the genre. “In this film, there is a lot of action which I have never seen before in Bollywood. So, I would like to set a trend. I love doing action scenes and it’s important in the film,” Amy said. Actresss Kriti Sanon was the first choice for the film Singh Is Bliing, but that did not bother Amy. “Kriti is a fantastic actor and it didn’t happen
for Kriti but thankfully it worked out for me. That’s just part and parcel of films,” she said. Amy couldn’t believe she got to do a film opposite Akshay Kumar. “I had to actually pinch myself when I got the call. I couldn’t believe it and even till the end, I was like... am I actually working with Akshay Kumar? “ she revealed. Adding, “I have been a massive Akshay Kumar fan before and the first film that I ever watched was Namastey London... And I didn’t think that I would get the chance to star alongside him, especially so early in my career.”

The love charger is back, and he is more powerful than ever before. He fights ghosts, tuskers gone amok, and in between he also has time to battle social evils, in no particular order. The second installment of MSG-The Messenger is now running in theatres, and here’s a warning in public interest: You’ll be blown away by the supernatural powers of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insaan. That is, only if you’re a die-hard fan. Babaji, as the spiritual guru is called by his followers, makes his grand entry through rings of fire that lead him to two kids trapped in a burning house. After dangling for
a few seconds mid-air, he saves the bewildered children who probably didn’t know about the existence of CGI. During this scene, stones are crushed, rears are kicked and elephants are tossed in the air. Babaji leads to a change of heart in indigenous people when he lifts a badly animated elephant on his palm. Later, we see them dancing in Bollywood style, but Guruji stops them as he wants them to bathe first. So much in the name of civilisation! However, the battle is not even half won yet as there are 16 clans of indigenous people living in the same area and their head Ajgar is a tough nut. By this time, we have witnessed
two songs in Guruji’s own voice, and the 60-something lady sitting beside me has danced twice. She doesn’t have any qualms in doing so, why? Because everybody else is dancing inside the hall. It was similar to the film’s first public screening in Gurgaon on Wednesday where more than 50,000 people danced on Guruji’s beats. Babaji travels in luxury cars with a golden heart embossed on them. He is keen sportsman and does everything in his capacity to showcase his healthy lifestyle. That’s needed though because the sermons on abstaining from alcohol, non-vegetarian food and narcotics follow every sequence.

Silver extended its gains for the fourth day by adding Rs 100 to Rs 35,900 per kg on increased buying by industrial units and coin makers. Federal Reserve’s status quo on interest rates, pickup in buying by jewellers and retailers, driven by ongoing festive and wedding season, mainly resulted in the rise of precious metals prices. Globally, gold gained 1.9 per cent to settle at $1,137.80 an ounce, after touching $1,141.50, the highest since September 2 in New York in yesterday’s trade. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity rose by Rs 75 each to trade at over one-week high of Rs 26,675 and Rs 26,525 per ten grams, respectively, a level last seen on September 9.

‘Form panel to probe land allotment to dalits, tribals’
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Gujarat high court on Friday suggested the state government to form a committee to look into complaints by dalits and tribals that they were allotted agriculture land as part of land reforms, but the allotments have remained only on paper. A bench of acting Chief Justice Jayant Patel and Justice N V Anjaria also sought the government’s opinion within 15 days on whether such an exercise could fulfil the purpose of extending benefits of reforms to the suppressed class of people. The judges opined for such investigation committee because it would be difficult for the court to ad-
judicate the complaints of non-allotment of land by beneficiaries as such type of complaints would be thousands in number. The court asked the authorities to undertake this exercise in response to a PIL filed three years ago by one Jignesh Mevani, who has sought directions to officials to furnish information on allotment of wasteland to the poor and landless farmers in Ahmedabad and Surendranagar districts. The PIL also demanded that due procedure for allotment of land for agriculture purpose should be followed and the benefits should reach SCs and STs. Mevani stated that the Centre declared that 56,873 acre govern-
ment land was allotted to members of SCs and STs between 2007 and 2010. However, when inquired, government offices did not furnish the names of beneficiaries. Mevani argued that in many cases, land was allotted to those people who were not eligible for the benefit. He submitted that due to negligence and lethargic approach on the part of the authorities, the poor cannot reap the benefits of government schemes and each beneficiary suffers an approximate loss of Rs 1.75 lakh every year.
Book which contains records of all Gir lions in zoos across the globe. We have sent 130 lions, captured from the wild in Gir, to various zoos across the country too. As part of the 50-year celebrations of Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, we
have invited officials from all zoos across the country.” The stud-book maintains minute details about each big cat along with their names, date of birth and when they died. For example, Radhika (listed at 332 in the studbook) and Anita (listed at
333) were born to Bijlee (a lioness) and Hemraj (lion) who were captured from the sanctuary in 1990 and 1994 respectively. The two were in Junagadh Zoo when Bijlee gave birth to Radhika and Anita on February 25, 1995.
pital in Asarwa, which receives the highest number of blood samples for tests. The same two Den2 and Den4 viruses have emerged as the dominant virus strains in Delhi too. A group of community medicine experts, who had also carried out tests on aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Ahmedabad and Surat, have found that humidity levels of 83% to 85% were responsible for drastic increase in dengue
cases in the two cities. Experts say that that the two days after the last bout of fever are crucial. A patient should be encouraged to take plenty of oral fluids. The main complication in dengue is blood leakage from capillaries and collection of blood outside the blood vessels. This, in turn, leads to intravascular dehydration. This is why giving fluids orally or by intravenous at the right time can save lives.
of proportionality?” she demanded to know. She made out a case of consistent harassment and victimization of the IPS officer who was arrested in connection with an FIR filed by a fellow cop KD Pant, accusing Bhatt of coercing him to depose in Bhatt’s favour before the SIT about a meeting held on the night of Feb 27, 2002, in which the CM allegedly said that Hindus should be allowed to retaliate in a signal to the police machinery to not act against the riot-
ers. Bhatt claims to have been present at the meeting, a claim the state and its functionaries have denied. Pant has since filed another affidavit supporting the state government. Bhatt was arrested and remanded to police custody for 70 days, his mother’s house was ransacked twice, his security cover was withdrawn he was suspended and later terminated, his lawyer told the bench, comprising Chief Justice of India HL Dattu and Justice Arun Misra.

2002 Gujarat riots: Sacked IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt cries victimisation in Supreme Court Akshesh | Ahmedabad
Sacked Gujarat IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt attacked the recent Modi government decision to terminate his services in the Supreme Court as lacking in proportionality and instead alleged that he was being victimized for consistently maintaining and deposing before the SIT, the court amicus and the Nanavati Commission that the Modi government was complicit in the riots, but the top court seemed unmoved by his plea. Bhatt was sacked recently for being on “unauthorized leave”. His lawyer Indira Jaising contended in the top court today that he had reported for duty in Ahmedabad instead of Jamnagar as asked to as he had to depose the same day before the SIT probing the 2002 riot cases. “Where is the sense
