Trailing her in the second position by a margin of two strokes is Ankita Tiwana, who carded oneover 72. The Rs 5,00,000 event will culminate on 27th November 2015.
Advantage Rajasthan despite Saini’s century Agency | Lahli
Haryana have a tough task of saving their Ranji Trophy match against Rajasthan despite a valiant 146 from opener Nitin Saini in their second innings on day three here today. Two quick wickets including Saini’s towards the end of day left Haryana at 287 for six and with an uncomfortable lead of 120 runs. The hosts were bowled out for 112 on day one and the visitors replied with 279.
The one clear message that emerged from Rahul Gandhi’s interaction with students here on Wednesday was that the jury is still out on the performance of the Narendra Modi government. Addressing a 2,000-strong gathering of students from the Mount Carmel Women’s College, the Congress vice president asked, “Is Swacch Bharat working?” The girls roared back with a mix of ‘yes’ and ‘no’. He repeated the question but
to the same effect. “How about Make in India? Do you think its working?” he asked but once again he got a mixed response. Some students also shouted that Congress ruled Karnataka is the only place where Make in India and Swacch Bharat are not working. Indeed, these two questions became the main talking points as the students stood around in groups and excitedly discussed the interaction after Rahul left. As television crews, which were barred
from the venue, swooped in to get comments from the students, they shouted over each other to either praise or dismiss the Congress scion. Among the gaggle of competing
voices were those who complained that the entire event was contrived. These students said that Congress organisers had demanded that the questions be submitted to
Intolerance row: Aamir Khan’s effigies burnt in Punjab and Noida Agency | Phagwara
Activists of Shiv Sena Hindustan on Wednesday burnt the effigy of Bollywood star Aamir Khan at a sugarmill crossing in Phagwara to protest his remarks on intolerance. Dubbing Khan’s statement as tantamount to “slurring” the image and credibility of the country, the protesters led by district president Manish Sood advised Aamir Khan to leave India and settle in Syria. “We will provide you all help in securing Syria’s visa,” Sood said. Khan was at the centre
of a raging debate after he expressed “alarm and despondency” over the rise in incidents of intolerance in the last six to eight months in an interaction at a ceremony
here. “Kiran and I have lived all our life in India. For the first time, she said, should we move out of India... She fears for her child, she fears about what the atmosphere
around us will be,” the actor had said on Monday. The protesters said India is a rather over-tolerant country as it was here that a film like PK, which had “hit” the beliefs of majority community, could be made and screened successfully. Protesters said that it was India that made him a star and a celebrity. Hindu Sena activists in Noida too carried the effigy of Aamir during their protest against him following his remarks over growing intolerance in the country in on Wednesday.
them in advance. “Only the easy questions were approved. No supplementary questions were allowed.,” complained a final year journalism student who did not wish to be identified. Referring to the latest controversy involving Aamir Khan in his speech, Rahul said that he was alarmed by the aggressive response to the actor’s statement on growing religious intolerance in the country. “The idea of India is live and let live but BJP and RSS mentality is go make one Indian fight against another,” he told the stu-
dents. He also said that “Congress is not a corrupt party” and that it is one of the few political organisations that believed in “internal democracy”. Attempting to strike a chord with the girls, he said, “ We are trying to encourage young and educated women to join the Congress. We want to bring in more young people.” Accusing the PM of “acting like a dictator”, he said that he is not allowing any debate to happen in Parliament and is pushing through with policies without even consulting his own cabinet. “Modi
should realise that he can’t be the lone ruler in a country as large as India. He is not even consulting his own party let alone the opposition. When Manmohan Singh was the PM, he spoke to everyone including the Opposition. Dialogic is the only solution for this country’s problems but Modi doesn’t want to have a dialogue.” He also criticised the accord signed by the union government with Naga militant groups and asked how such a move could be made without consulting stake holders at the state level.

Why the Lalu-Kejriwal hug became a controversy..?
Gestures mean much in politics. It is not surprising, therefore, that AAP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and RJD chief Lalu Prasad hugging each other at the swearing-in of Nitish Kumar as Bihar chief minister sparked a controversy. Many have interpreted the hug as an act of compromise on the part of Kejriwal and a betrayal of the AAP’s principled stand against corruption. A sheepish Kejriwal has explained that it was Lalu who “pulled and hugged” him, and that he was still opposed to Lalu’s “record of corruption” and “dynasty politics”. It is unremarkable for even political foes to exchange pleasantries, hug and shake hands when they share a public platform. What, then, triggered the outrage in this episode? And why did Kejriwal, who has openly supported the Mahagathbandhan of which Lalu is a part, attempt to disassociate himself from the RJD chief? The answer is that, between Kejriwal and Lalu, a hug is overloaded with meaning. It ceases to be about two individuals and becomes the tortured embrace of two political images. Of course, the two protagonists have been complicit in the manufacture of their images. But they are now trapped and imprisoned by them. The AAP was born of a movement against corruption. The jhadu in Kejriwal’s hand was meant to sweep politics clean. Lalu, rightly or wrongly, has turned into a symbol of corruption. Politicians before him, and many since his conviction, have gone to jail for corruption, but it is Lalu who has come to represent, for an influential section of the popular imagination, the acme of political venality. Lalu, the original aam aadmi who claimed to represent the unrepresented castes and classes, promised social revolution and then betrayed it. How can the leader of the AAP, the latest dream built on a sanctimonious narrative on corruption, be seen to engage with Lalu? Kejriwal’s response may indicate that, rather than confront the reality of politics, he prefers to remain a prisoner of perception.

Sushant Singh Rajput might be busy shooting for MS Dhoni biopic but the actor has already been roped in for a love story.

Splitsvilla 8 contestant Yash Pandit accused of raping TV actress
Captain America fans can take a deep breath. Now that the first trailer of Captain America: Civil War is here, we can tell you this is not yet another Avengers. Yes, it has Iron Man, yes it has Black Widow, yes it has Hawkeye, yes it has a host of other would-be superheroes but the film is all Cap. After the excellent Captain America: Winter Soldier in 2014, this was the least we could expect. Brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, who directed the last film, are back with this superhero vs superhero caper and we like what we see. The last film
ended with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), called Captain America when he is suited, saving his friend Bucky aka Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) who was brainwashed into going rogue. The trailer opens with Rogers and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) inter-

The ’Pinga‘ song in the film shows leading heroines Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone dancing together, which, the petitioner said “distorts” history. ‘Pinga’ dance is an integral part of Marathi culture and has been portrayed as an ‘item song’ in the film, the petition alleged. Besides Bhansali, Chopra and Padukone have been named as respondents. The court will hear the sides on November 26 to decide on issuing notices to the respondents. The Magistrate has allowed
the petitioner’s plea on the point of jurisdiction of the Magistrate court in Pune to hear the matter, said Wajid Khan. Earlier, Prasadrao Peshwe, the descendant of Bajirao Peshwa I, had also alleged that historical facts have been “altered” while portraying the late king and his wives in the film. In a letter written to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis yesterday, Prasadrao has demanded that the government look into the matter, review the soonto-be-released film, investigate the matter and take a decision accordingly. The film is set for release on December 18.

Agency | Paris Defending champions Barcelona cruised into the last 16 of the Champions League with another impressive display on Tuesday with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi both scoring twice in a 6-1 win against Roma, while Arsenal kept their hopes of advancing to the last 16 alive with a 3-0 away win over Dinamo Zagreb. The Catalans and Ger-
man heavyweights Bayern Munich both secured their places in the knockout round and demonstrated once again why they are considered to be the best teams in Europe right now, with Bayern crushing Olympiakos 4-0 at the Allianz Arena. Barcelona discovered they had qualified from Group E before they had kicked a ball at the Camp Nou, thanks to the 1-1 draw between BATE Borisov
and Bayer Leverkusen in Belarus. Fresh from their victory against eternal rivals Real Madrid 4-0 at the weekend, the Catalans produced a performance that the Italians could not live with to secure top spot in the section. Dani Alves set up Suarez to tap in the opener before Messi, in his first start since returning from injury, made it two at the end of a superb move involving Neymar and Suarez.

Motorola to launch Moto 360 (2nd-gen) smartwatch in India on December 1
Three Indian shuttlers, including P V Sindhu, advanced to the prequarterfinals of the USD 120,000 Macau Open Grand Prix Gold but it was curtains for Ajay Jayaram in men’s singles, in Macau on Wednesday. Two-time bronze medallist at World Championship, P V Sindhu, seeded fifth, defeated Kim Hyo Min of Korea 21-13 22-20 in a women’s singles match to set up a clash with the winner of the match between Indonesia’s Lindaweni Fanetri and Cheng Chi Ya of Chinese Taipei. In
men’s singles, Seventh seed H S Prannoy saw off Chinese Taipei’s Lin Chia Hsuan 21-19 21-15 and will meet China’s Qiao Bin on Thursday. B Sai Praneeth, seeded 15th, spanked Uzbekistan’s Artyom Savatyugin 21-11 21-8 in another match and will face the
winner of the match between Indonesia’s Andre Kurniawan Tedjono and Chinese Taipei’s Yang Chih Chieh. However, it turned out to be a disappointing day for ninth seed Jayaram as he lost 11-21 17-21 to Lin Guipu of China in another men’s singles match.
Fifa ethics body wants Michel Platini banned from football for life
Here’s good news for all Motorola fans in the country. The company is all set to launch the second-generation of its smartwatch Moto 360 in India. The company has sent out invites for a launch event scheduled for December 1. The invite makes it quite clear that the company will be launching the Moto 360 second-generation. As the image on the invite shows a circular dial and has the hashtag #MotoTimeHack. Lenovo-owned Motorola unveiled Moto 360 second-generation at IFA in Berlin in early September. The new Moto 360 smartwatch comes in three variants: A men’s watch in two sizes, a women’s version and a sports model called Moto 360 Sport. The men’s model comes in 42x11.4mm and 46x11.4mm sizes. The women’s version is 42mm. The 42mm Moto 360 comes with a 1.37-inch (360x325-pixel resolution) display, while the bigger 46mm model has a 1.56inch (360x330-pixel resolution) display.

After an embarrassing defeat at the hands of defending champions Atletico de Kolkata, FC Goa would look to bounce back when they take on NorthEast United in their last home match of the Indian Super League in Margao on Wednesday. After their 7-0 comprehensive win over Mumbai, FC Goa were looking to register their first ever win against ATK. But, that did not happen as they were beaten 0-4 and as a result, they also lost their top position to the Kolkata team. Goa are currently in second spot with 18 points from 11 matches, two points above NorthEast United who are placed fourth. Goa coach Zico said the loss against Kolkata was another learning experi-
ence for his team. “We did not play well and paid the price. It’s second time we lost 4-0 but we overcame that situation when we lost against Chennaiyin FC and went on to occupy the top position in the able. Now that we are displaced to second position we will again rectify our mistakes and try to correct it in tomorrow’s match and win to put ourselves at the top of the table,” Zico said
at the pre-match media briefing. “We must win all our remaining three matches and cannot relax against the NorthEast United whom we beat 3-1 in the away clash if we are to qualify for the semifinals,” he said. With regard to the availability of injured players - Gregory Arnolin, Luciano Sabrosa and Rafael Coelho, the Brazilian legend said that it will be known only after the training session.

But strikes from Morkel and Harmer, who returned to the side after playing the opening Test in Mohali, eroded most of the advantage the hosts thought they had by batting first. Jadeja (34) and Wriddhiman Saha (32) then combined in a crucial 48-run stand to ensure the hosts had a competitive total in what appears to be a low-scor-

The surface provided prodigious turn for the spinners from the first session of the match, which the touring side, currently the top-ranked Test team, need to win to level the series.

Agency | New Delhi Xiaomi has announced three new devices namely Redmi Note 3, Mi Pad 2 and Mi Air Purifier 2. While all three have managed to grab eyeballs, we think the Mi Pad 2 is a significant jump from what Xiaomi has been working at so far. The Mi Pad 2 comes with some cool improvements such as plush design, an all-metal body (at 322 grams) and Windows 10 option. We decided to unfold its specs and take a closer look at what it holds within. The all-new Mi Pad 2 retains the same 7.9-inch display with 2048 x 1536 resolution that take the pixel density all the way up to 324ppi, almost at par with the latest iPad mini. The eye-popping resolution is enough for a good viewing experience. Xiaomi has powered the device with quad-core Intel Atom X5-Z8500 processor, recently seen in the Asus Transformer Book. It has opted for Intel instead of the Tegra chipset seen in the last variant. The processor is coupled with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM to handle all those apps. It also includes Intel HD graphics for the GPU.

the same punishment had been requested against the 79-year-old veteran sports baron. His personal spokesman, Klaus Stoehlker, said Blatter did not know what punishment had been requested. Platini and Blatter are already serving 90-day suspensions while an investigation is held into a $2 million (1.8 million euros) sum Platini received from Fifa in 2011. That has ruled the 60-year-old Frenchman out of the race for the Fifa presidency to be decided in the election on February 26.
Blatter is under investigation in Switzerland for ‘criminal mismanagement’ over the payment to Platini, ostensibly for consultancy work completed nine years earlier. Platini has been named in the investigation but is not yet a formal suspect. Both men have denied any wrongdoing but admit there was no contract for the work or payment. The investigation, alongside a US bribery inquiry and a Swiss probe into the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, has plunged Fifa into its worst crisis.

Claiming that Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) convenor Hardik Patel has been “misdirecting” the Patidar community in Gujarat, Surat Police Tuesday submitted an affidavit requesting the Surat District Court not to grant bail to Hardik, who has been booked under sedition charges.

In the affidavit before the
