Centre blames states for not acting against hoarders : raids recover 36000 tonnes
Now ‘Dal’ Prices Haunt BJP With dal prices touching a record Rs 210 per kg, the government today went into a fire fighting mode, raiding hoarders to recover about 36,000 tonnes of pulses, which along with the imports will be pushed into the market to cool prices Agency | New Delhi With dal prices touching a record Rs 210 per kg, the government today went into a fire fighting mode, raiding hoarders to recover about 36,000 tonnes of pulses, which along with the imports will be pushed into the market to cool prices. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who today called a meeting of the inter-ministerial group for the second time in a week, blamed the states for not doing enough to crack down on hoarders and black marketeers. As much as 5,000 tonnes of imported pulses have already arrived and are being distributed to the states and another 3,000 tonnes are on the way, Jaitley added. In the national capital, imported tur dal (pigeon peas) is being sold at a subsidised rate of Rs 120 per kg at nearly 500 outlets of Kendriya Bhandar and Safal. “It is a matter of regret that most states are doing nothing to discharge their responsibility in taking action against hoarders. It is only in the last 3-4 days, after the central government amounted pressure, that stagger-
ing quantities of 36,000 tonnes of dal have been recovered. Raids are still continuing,” he told reporters after the meeting. Jaitley warned of penal action against the hoarders even as he expected prices to cool at retail level in the next two-three days after quantity seized in raids as well as those imported are released in the market. “The raids are still continuing and over
the next 2-3 days, more raids which are been conducted by the states, more more hoarded quantity is likely to be recovered,” Jaitley said. “There is time lag between wholesale price easing and retail price easing… therefore, it is slowly then translated into price easing into the market itself,” he said. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies have a new headache in Bihar:
rising prices of ‘dal’. With prices of pulses shooting up across the country, the anti-BJP alliance is having a field day blaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his central government. And many voters in Bihar, in the midst of staggered assembly elections, seem to be in agreement. “We voted for Modi (in the 2014 Lok Sabha election) as he promised Ganesh Rai, who runs to check price rise,” said a construction business near Chitkohra here. “But he has failed to check the prices of food items. Dal is selling at

Political intolerance should not be allowed to destroy the idea of India On Monday, President Pranab Mukherjee expressed “apprehension whether tolerance and acceptance of dissent are on the wane”. There is a sense of forewarning and, perhaps, frustration, in his remarks. This is the third time in three weeks the president has spoken out. He rightly realises the rise of bigotry and its violent expressions are a threat to India’s civilisational foundations. In his view, Indian civilisation survived when many ancient civilisations collapsed because it celebrated diversity and promoted tolerance. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, there could be no greater guiding principle than the message from the president. However, outfits like the Shiv Sena seem deaf to sane advice. Just days after forcing the cancellation of a Ghulam Ali concert and attacking Sudheendra Kulkarni, the Sena on Monday disrupted a meeting of BCCI chief Shashank Manohar and Pakistan Cricket Board head Shahryar Khan in Mumbai. The intent was to scuttle a possible revival of cricket ties. The Sena’s lumpen behaviour triggered a quick response from the ICC, now headed by Pakistani legend Zaheer Abbas. The ICC withdrew Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar from the ongoing India-South Africa series, citing a threat to Pakistani nationals. Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar dropped out of the commentary team and left India. Abbas also put a question mark over Pakistan’s participation in next year’s WorldT20 championship in India. Few countries are willing to tour Pakistan due to the violence there. The Sena has allowed the ICC to draw a parallel between Pakistan and India. The Sena’s political bankruptcy in staging mock battles with Pakistani musicians, intellectuals, cricketers and so on when Maharashtra is reeling under an unprecedented drought is astonishing. Should Mumbai, home to Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar, get dropped from cricket tours, the Sena alone is to be blamed. The Shiv Sena is the most organised of the vigilante groups that now roam the country. The Hindu Sena that poured ink and paint on J&K MLA Sheikh Abdul Rashid in New Delhi and the group that targeted an Australian couple for sporting a tattoo in Bangalore belong to the same flock of hoodlums who now threaten the cosmopolitan core of Indian cities. The government must act against them, immediately and decisively.

Salman Khan hit and run case: Actor’s lawyer questions value of police bodyguard’s evidence Agency | Mumbai
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s lawyer today questioned in the Bombay High Court the legal value of the evidence adduced by the prosecution about the actor driving his car under the influence of liquor when it met with an accident in September 2002. “Such a piece of evidence should be discarded as it did not have any evidential value,” argued advocate Amit Desai in the high court, which is hearing an appeal filed by Salman against the five-year sentence awarded to him by the trial court on May 6. The actor was held guilty of ramming his car into a bakery in Bandra on September 28, 2002, killing one person and injuring
four others who were sleeping outside on the pavement. During the trial, the prosecution relied only on the evidence of Ravindra Patil, the then police bodyguard of Salman, who passed away in 2007, Desai said. Patil had lodged FIR on the
day of the mishap but didn’t mention that Salman was driving and was drunk. He mentioned this only two days later before the magistrate when he said Salman had taken drinks on that evening, and he had asked the actor to drive slow.

the idea but wanted to read the script. She will be the first A-list actress to work in a Pakistani project,” a source was quoted as saying. Kareena will also join Twitter for a day, only to make an announcement of her Pakistani project, Mid-

Correspondent | Kiev
Agency | Mumbai American Tower Corporation (ATC) is finally set to own a controlling stake in Viom Networks in a deal that will value the Indian tower company at about 20,000 crore. The deal is expected to be announced on Wednesday. ATC will acquire the stake from a clutch of existing investors, including Kolkata-based Srei Infrastructure. The Tata Group, which currently owns a 54 per cent stake in Viom, will stay invested as a minority partner. The Boston-based telecom tower company has been eyeing this deal for more than a year, with negotiations almost breaking down in May. ATC has been in talks with Viom Networks since June last year but the negotiations got serious only in October. The big point of difference was the valuation, with Viom’s promoters wanting to use Bharti Infratel as the benchmark. Srei Infrastructure had also looked at exiting Viom through an Initial Public Offering.

Judicial magistrate J K Christian ordered to send Hardik in the custody of police till 4 pm on October 23 on a remand petition filed by the Surat Detection of Crime Branch (DCB), seeking seven-day remand. Meanwhile, Hardik’s petition against the sedition charge would be heard by the Gujarat High Court today. During the hearing which took place late in the evening, pros-

2 arrested for killing farmer who sought flood-relief information Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
The Banaskantha police on Tuesday arrested two persons for allegedly murdering a 52-year-old farmer and an RTI activist Ratansinh Chaudhary of Garamdi village in Suigam taluka on Saturday. Chaudhary was killed for helping his friend Harkhabhai Ramjibhai file an RTI application seeking information on cash doles given to flood-affected families by the district authorities in Garamdi and Khatau villages in July. The simple RTI query sought and was to be provided to villagers under “proactive disclosure” by the district and panchayat au-
thorities. Four people of Chaudhary’s village are said to have accosted him and his son while they were walking towards their farm. They repeatedly smashed his head with sticks and he died on the spot. “The RTI reply had clearly brought out that people who were not affected by the floods received cash doles worth Rs 55,000 and Rs 90,000 while the actual victims got just Rs 2,500,” said Kishore Chaudhry a resident of Khatau village. Ratansinh’s RTI query also sought the names of the beneficiaries, the cash dole received by individuals and the copies of their application regarding the loss or cross-verification.
