Sena dig at PM, says Pak PM now showing “56-inch chest”
(H.S.) | Mumbai In a veiled dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over India’s moves against Pakistan after the Uri attack, key BJP ally Shiv Sena today said the neighbouring country’s Premier Nawaz Sharif is now showing off a “56inch chest”. The Sena also said it feared that India had actually been isolated in the world with its efforts yielding little result other than mere “lip service” by global leaders.

Indicating action against Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said ‘blood & water can’t flow together at the same time’ in meeting with Water ministry officials on Indus Waters treaty.Held amidst heightened tension between the India and Pakistan, the meeting also decided to set up a inter-ministerial task forces to go into the details and working of the Treaty with a “sense of urgen-

Indus Water Commission can “only take place in atmosphere free of terror”. The Commission has held 112 meetings so far. “Prime Minister’s Modi’s message at the meeting was that ‘rakt aur paani ek saath nahin beh
Sushma Swaraj at UNGA: Isolate those who refuse to join global campaign against terrorism (H.S.) | New Delhi External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday hit out at Pakistan at the 71st session of the United Nations General Assembly. Saying that those who speak the language of terrorism are alleging human rights violation in Kashmir, Swaraj said that they must first introspect over what is happening in their own country. Without naming Pakistan, Swaraj said the world must hold those to account who fail to join the global strategy against terrorism. We must isolate them, she said. She raised the human rights violations in Balochistan and asked Paksitan what pre-conditions it had set for ini-
tiating talks with India. This month, we marked the 15th anniversary of 9/11 attack. We who have suffered in Uri recently can understand the pain. These malevolent forces are yet to be confronted. Terrorism is the biggest violation of human rights. It targets the innocent and kills everyone indiscriminately. It is important to ask who is behind this as terrorists don’t own banks.
Who provides the financial backing to them, who funds them…history proves that those who promote extremist ideologies reap no benefits. It threatens the peace and harmony of the world. It is impossible to make distinctions between your problem and mine. We need to join forces and script an effective strategy against terror. It is not impossible, provided we have the will.

sakta’ (blood and water cannot flow together),” sources said.Apart from deciding to exploit to the maximum the capacity of three of the rivers that are under Pakistan’s control – Indus, Chenab and Jhelum– in the areas of hydro power, irrigation and storage, the meeting also agreed to review the “unilateral suspension” of
Tulbul navigation project in 1987. The sources asserted that the decision to maximise the water resources for irrigation will address the “pre-existing” sentiment of people of Jammu and Kashmir, who have complained in the past about the treaty not being fair to them. The meeting came as India weighed its options to hit back at Pakistan in the aftermath of the Uri attack that left 18 soldiers dead, triggering demands that the government scrap the water distribution pact to mount pressure on that country. Under the treaty, which was signed by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistan President Ayub Khan in September 1960, water of six rivers – Beas, Ravi,
Sutlej, Indus, Chenab and Jhelum – were to be shared between the two countries. Pakistan has been complaining about not receiving enough water and gone for international arbitration in a couple of cases. India-Pakistan relations took a hit after the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in July, and even more so after the terrorist attack on Uri base in Jammu and Kashmir by Jaish-e-Mohammed militants that killed 19 soldiers. Last week, External Affairs Ministry Spokesman Vikas Swarup had told the media that “for any such treaty to work, you need mutual trust and goodwill. I will leave it at that”.

India v New Zealand, Kanpur Test: India beat New Zealand by 197 runs (H.S.) | Kanpur Chasing down a target of 434 was never a realistic equation for New Zealand and with only six wickets in hand going in to the final day of India’s 500th Test match, the question was how soon will India wrap the 1st India vs New Zealand Test match at Green Park, Kanpur to take a 1-0 lead in the 3-match series. While New Zealand delayed the inevitable with good resistance in the morning session, India broke down their defence to register a thumping 197-run win 14.3 overs in to the second session. A dominating victory made sweeter as it came in India’s 500th Test match. Incidentally, India had lost their 100th and 200th Test match but were on the winning side in 300th
seven with no chance of saving the match. After Shami’s two quick strikes before the break, Ashwin completed the formalities taking the remaining three wickets. Mitchell Santner resisted well but was the first wicket to fall in the post lunch session when Ashwin ripped one to the legside. The ball turned and jumped viciously to open up Santner and the batsman ended up outside edging the ball to Rohit Sharma at silly point. He made 71 off 179 deliveries. Four overs later, Ashwin, with the new ball taken, saw Ish Sodhi moving across the crease and sent in a seam up delivery that crashed in to the leg stump. Neil Wagner was the final wicket to fall when he misread a carrom ball from Ashwin and was trapped in front.

PM Modi must recognise Pakistan’s gameplan It must be very lonely at the top, at this time, for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He faces, perhaps, the most difficult choice of his tenure for which no one but the PM himself will be held accountable. It’s a choice in the face of the most provocative and cynical action by Pakistan’s military establishment. No wonder, then, for the first time since I can remember, Modi’s face showed anguish. It reflected his despair at India’s offer of friendship being rebuffed — with repeated state-sponsored terrorist attacks. It is critical for Modi to understand Pakistan’s gameplan in launching the latest cross-border terror attack on the Indian army in Uri. Just as in 1989, the Pakistan army has timed this action to derive the maximum mileage from the tragic events in the Kashmir Valley. Rawalpindi seeks, as always, to exploit a two-fold advantage from the current situation. One, as Mehbooba Mufti commented, is to create a war-like situation in the Valley in the hope that its heavily-armed terrorist suicide squads will find support from protesting Kashmiri youth. Two, to try and hide its trans-border terrorism in the eyes of the world community as being fostered by the conditions in Kashmir and put India on the backfoot. Why else would Uri happen days before Nawaz Sharif is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly? But on this occasion, there is a bigger prize that Rawalpindi is after. For it, Modi’s success as PM is the worst possible outcome. That would imply Rawalpindi facing a resurgent India with a fast growing economy; an India, whose claims on the global governance high table would be recognised; and which under Modi would have a highly credible and strong development state, rather than the perennially soft and inefficient state it is known to be. Rawalpindi’s gameplan is to unleash provocations that will drive Modi to precipitate action, which, in turn, will derail his development plans and bring his tenure under a dark cloud. The alternative scenario of Modi riding on a wave of anti-Pakistan hysteria in India also has its possible upside for Rawalpindi, especially if it stokes communal fires. By quickly coming to Pakistan’s assistance, in denying that the terror attack had its source in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, China has made itself complicit in the Pakistani gameplan. Perhaps Pakistan is consciously playing to the Chinese tune, having received largesse from it for the economic corridor. What should Modi’s response be? He has to work out the likely impact of any action he takes on the domestic polity. It is rather disingenuous to argue that foreign policy actions should be divorced from domestic political and economic considerations. He has to figure out the likely impact of actions against Pakistan on the NDA’s electoral prospects in the elections in Punjab, Gujarat and UP and indeed the 2019 general elections. We do not want India to suffer from another bout of political instability. Modi has already demonstrated that he will not be baited by opportunist opposition leaders or fulminating television anchors, in search of higher TRPs, asking him to match his actions with election campaign rhetoric. He would do well to ignore even his own party’s intellectuals and strategists who have called for “a jaw in place of a tooth”.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Blood & Water can’t flow together at the same time” According to sources, in meeting with Water ministry officials on Indus Waters treaty, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said...
Katrina Kaif does a Victoria Beckham, Ae Dil Hain Mushkil star Ranbir Kapoor declines to comment on MNS warning to Pakistani actors is set to launch her own label (H.S.) | Mumbai (H.S.) | Mumbai
Katrina Kaif is set to venture into a completely new field — retail. Apparently, the actor has been working on the project for some time now. But for the moment, the details are being kept under wraps. “Katrina has been toying with the idea for a long time. While not much is known at this stage, the project seems exciting. She has also been in discussions to tie up with big brands in different spheres, where she feels she will be able to create things that reflect her personality,” says an insider. A few weeks ago, when Katrina attended several business meetings in London, UK, it fuelled speculations about a venture that will be launched
in India. Sources insist that if all goes as planned, Katrina will announce this “revolutionary” project soon. The source adds that Katrina’s new venture will not be limited to a fashion line, but will include several other things as well. It is believed that Katrina has “personally been spending a lot of time” on her pet project since “it is something that she is passionate about”. The insider says, “She
is already in talks with some of the best names in the business to launch the venture that she calls groundbreaking.” Apparently, Katrina’s partners in her retail venture are gung-ho about the project. “Since Katrina is a regular on search lists and popularity charts, it speaks volumes for the kind of reach she has. So, her partners are confident about the project’s success,” adds the insider.
(H.S.) | New Delhi The Hrithik Roshan, Kangana Ranaut saga is far from over. Months after the legal and public faceoff between the two hit the headlines, we still keep on hearing that the truth is yet to come out. If last week it was Kangana who mentioned at an event that it was never a legal issue, on Monday Hrithik’s father Rakesh Roshan asserted that if Hrithik decide to reveal the truth, people will be shocked. The filmmaker was speaking to Hindustan Times and said, “Hrithik is different.” Without naming Kangana Ranaut, he add-
ed, “Even when someone was spreading lies about him, he chose to stay calm and dignified. If he does choose to come out with the truth, it will shock everyone.” The filmmaker also spoke about clash between Hrithk Roshan’s Kaabil and Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees. “I had announced my film in February last year. A sudden announcement about the release of another movie (SRK’s Raees) is a little unethical. However, I can’t stop any film from releasing on the same day… We have met a couple of times. I have told him (Shah RukhKhan)
that nobody is going to gain out of this clash. I have also explained to him that I can’t shift my film’s release date, as I am a little superstitious. I would have changed the date had I not announced the film. I don’t have an ego.” Earlier, Hrithik had also told indianexpress. com regarding the Kangana issue that truth was on his side. “When truth is on your side you don’t need support,” Hrithik had said thumping his chest to express victory and pride. At an event in Delhi, Kangana had said about Hrithik without naming the actor, “The incident I faced recently is very different from what I faced in the past. This time there were no legal proceedings against me. There was lot of media drama, threats, lot of slut shaming but there was no case filed against me. There was no question of fighting it legally.”

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor’s forthcoming Ae Dil Hain Mushkil has created buzz due to his sizzling onscreen chemistry with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan but he declined to comment on speculation that the film is now in trouble as MNS said that they won’t allow its release in Maharashtra for featuring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. Asked about this, Ranbir said: “I can speak about my film Ae Dil Hain Mushkil. Other than this I don’t know anything about other rumours.” Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which is slated to release next month, will see Fawad in a supporting role while another Pakistani actress Mahira Khan plays the lead
role opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Raees. However after the Uri attack, Maharashtra Navnirman Chitrapat Karmachari Sena declared that they want the Pakistani actors to move out of India. Speaking to media on the set of Dance Plus 2, Ranbir said he is happy with the reactions of the film. “The film is releasing on Diwali. I hope that this Diwali will be Ae Dil Ki Diwali,” he said. About the dance reality show,
he said: “I feel humble when I am reminded of my own family legacy for being attached to this film industry for last 80 years.” “I had a lot of fun in the show. The participants are really talented. I think even as an actor I don’t have a talent like them. They are a true heroes,” he added. Ae Dil Hain Mushkil features Ranbir, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Anushka Sharma in lead and Fawad in a pivotal role.
Jersey for a charity event,” a source close to the actor said. Despite being busy shooting for “Dhruva”, Ram Charan is simultaneously supervising the shoot of his father Chiranjeevi’s comeback Telugu film “Khaidi No 150” as its producer. “Soon after the charity event, he will fly to Europe where the team of aKhaidi No 150′ will be shooting a song, and it will be followed by a trip to an undisclosed country to shoot another
song from aDhruva’. He will be so busy in October, he has decided to shoot even on Sundays,” the source said. In “Dhruva”, the remake of Tamil film “Thani Oruvan”, Ram Charan will be seen as an IPS officer. The film is being directed by Surender Reddy. Meanwhile, the actor is shooting for his next film Dhruva and pumping it up for playing the role of a daredevil cop. Defying the industry standards by not picking his body double for his stunts, Charan is seen scaling a tree all by himself with the help of a rope. Well, this short clip from the movie set is a full proof.If this is all the action we can await from the movie, then we believe this feat is just a cherry on the top.

This Friday — 23 September — the box office performance of two new releases (Ritesh Deshmukh-Nargis Fakhri’s Banjo and the Leena Yadav-directed Parched) were keenly watched. However, it was the previous week’s release — Amitabh Bachchan-Taapsee Pannu’s Pink — that managed to do the briskest box office. ink, which is directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury and has Shoojit Sircar as the producer continued its triumphant box office run, fuelled
no doubt by the glowing reviews coming in from critics and viewers alike. On Sunday, 25 September, it crossed the Rs 50 crore mark, making it one of the to-five most profitable films of 2016. Leading trade website KoiMoi.com analysed the
films that have offered their makers the greatest return on investment in 2016 so far. Neerja, made on a budget of Rs 21 crore and having earned Rs 75+ crore at the box office, fetched its makers a neat Rs 54 crore profit, and has first place on the list.

Zindagi channel not to have Pakistani shows, Zee announces revamp (H.S.) | New Delhi Hours after Zee announced that it will pull out all the Pakistani shows from Zindagi, Subhash Chandra has said that the channel will revamp its format. According to the Zee head, Zindagi will now include Indian shows dealing with the native Muslim community. Chandra made the latest announcement via Twitter, clearing the air around speculations that Zindagi channel would be shut down. The latest development comes in the light of the looming controversy around MNS’s 48-hour deadline to all the Pakistani artists working in India, to leave the country. On Saturday, Chandra had tweeted that Zindagi
was considering banning all Pakistani made television shows which were on air right now. He confirmed and said that the channel would be going for serious revamp in its broadcast now. Following the recent Uri attack which snowballed into a major conflict between the two nations, the film workers association of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) had on Friday asked all Pakistani
artists working in India to immediately leave the country. “We gave a 48hour deadline to Pakistani actors and artists to leave India or MNS will push them out,” Amey Khopkar of MNS Chitrapat Sena had said. Khopkar had also threatened to beat up Pakistani artists, including those filmmakers who cast them in their productions. This was with major reference to Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan.

Ravindra Jadeja celebrates SPORTS ROUNDUP Test fifty like a warrior (H.S.) | Kanpur
Agency | Mumbai Continuing to move south, the BSE Sensex fell over 149 points and the NSE Nifty broke below the 8,800-mark in early trade today amid weak global cues. Sentiment remained downbeat as investors went about booking profits in recent gainers. The 30-share barometer declined 149.22 points, or 0.52 per cent, to 28,519, with sectoral indices led by realty, banking and auto accounting for much of the losses, falling by up to 0.94 per cent. The index had lost 104.91 points in the previous session on Friday. Also, the NSE Nifty was trading lower by 42.10 points, or 0.48 per cent, at 8,789.45. Brokers said that apart from profit-booking, a weak trend in Asia on lower oil prices and decline on the Wall Street last week kept the domestic bourses here on a sticky wicket.

Ravindra Jadeja followed his first innings unbeaten 42 with brisk, unbeaten, fifty in the second and followed it up with a celebration only he can pull off. The left-hander tucked one away for a single, raised his bat for the dressing room and as soon as Virat Kohli signalled the declaration, Jadeja’s sword (read bat) was out. With fancy moves he enthralled the crowd at the Green Stadium in Kanpur and triggered smiles in the home side’s dressing room. Skipper Kohli too was applauding, and gestured with similar celebration for his teammate. Jadeja had scored a 44-ball 42 in the first innings, adding crucial 41 runs with Umesh Yadav for the last wicket. His knock was full of intent and he first followed it up

with a five-wicket haul in New Zealand’s first innings, then an unbeaten fifty in the second. Since the South Africa series, Jadeja has been chipping in with crucial cameos for the team and adding priceless runs with the tail. These contributions become all the more handy in low-scoring affairs like the ones we saw last year, and expected to see in the ongoing three-match series too. Jadeja added a brisk 100 runs with Rohit Sharma, who too was unbeaten on 68 when Kohli
put New Zealand in after Tea. Jadeja’s fifty came off only 58 balls and the left-hander hit three fours and two sixes in the process. Here’s a look at how Jadeja celebrated another good knock lower down the order: This was not the first time Jadeja had celebrated like this. During the away series against England, where Jadeja and James Anderson were in the news for all the wrong reasons, Jadeja showcased his skills after hitting fifty at Lord’s.
Sania Mirza-Barbora Strycova crowned women’s doubles champions at Pan Pacific Open (H.S.) | Tokyo
Agency | Bengaluru The Mars Orbiter that catapulted India to space history has quietly had its second birthday - in its orbit around the red planet. On September 24, 2014, India became the only nation to date to put a spacecraft around the planet in its very first attempt. The debut achievement of making the spacecraft go round the planet was the most challenging manouevre of the mission. It eluded old planetary warhorses Russia, the U.S. and Europe, who started out into space 50 years back with superior rockets. Originally designed to last just six months on its onboard fuel, the orbiter continues to scan the red planet elliptically from a distance of around 400 km x 70,000 km. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said the orbiter still sends interesting photos and information to Indian data keepers across millions of kilometre.

Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, stars of a newer generation who admired “The King,” and Palmer’s “Big Three” rivals of the 1960s, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, were among those who mourned Palmer’s death Sunday at age 87. But so was US President Barack Obama, who tweeted a photo of a lesson Palmer gave him in the Oval Office of the White House. “Here’s to The King who was as ex-

bacterial infection risk, says study
Low or moderate levels of physical activity may significantly lower your risk of bacterial infections as compared to a sedentary lifestyle, a new study has claimed. The risk of viral infections is known to be affected by physical activity, but little information was available regarding the more serious infections caused by bacteria. Researchers, including those from Aalborg University in Denmark, examined the relationship between leisure-time physical activity and suspected bacterial infections during a one-year follow up. Suspected bacterial infections were determined based on prescriptions for antibiotics. Results showed that compared with sedentary behaviour, low leisure-time physical activity was associated with a 10% lower risk of any suspected bacterial infection. Further, low and moderate levels of leisure-time physical activity were associated with a 21% and 32% reduction of suspected cystitis (urinary tract bacterial infections), respectively -- compared with individuals classified as sedentary, researchers said. Suspected respiratory tract bacterial infections, however, were not associated with physical activity level, they said.

Ravindra Jadeja scored unbeaten 42 and 50 runs in the first and second innings, while Ashwin contributed 40 runs in the first essay during the opening Test here. “The boys have applied themselves really well.

The bowlers performed exceptionally well but Indian captain Virat Kohli feels it was his team’s lower-order batting which made a “psychological dent” on New Zealand during the home side’s memorable win in the 500th Test here. “One of the most important things in Test cricket is to have a strong lower-order who can contribute and this is one area we are working hard with the bowlers, everyone from Ashwin onwards wants to contribute and that puts a psychological dent on the opposition,” Kohli said in the post-match presentation. “They think they can get you out for 300 but you end up getting 340-360 and thus the momentum shifts from the opposition. We have improved in this area and we need to keep working on it be-

Palmer’s everlasting legacy is found in the star players and rich events of today, such as Rory McIlroy and the $11.5 million he won Sunday for taking the Tour Championship and FedExCup playoff crown. “He has meant so much to golf worldwide,” four-time major winner McIlroy told The Golf Channel, which Palmer co-founded. “Arnold wasn’t the most successful player ever but he was the player that brought the game to the masses. “If it wasn’t for Arnold Palmer, we wouldn’t be playing for these ob-
scene amounts of money we play for every week.” Palmer became the first major US sports celebrity endorsement star, the role made for him in the 1960s. He remained a popular pitchman into his 80s, his “Arnie’s Army,” fan following unmatched until Woods spawned Tiger-mania in 1997. “Thanks Arnold for your friendship, counsel and a lot of laughs,” Woods said in a Twitter posting. “Your philanthropy and humility are part of your legend. It’s hard to imagine golf without you or anyone more important to the game than the King.” A shocked and saddened Nicklaus, who won a record 18 major titles, mourned one of his dearest friends. “Arnold transcended the game of golf. He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon,” Nicklaus said. “He was a legend. Arnold was someone who was a pioneer in his sport. He took the game from one level to a higher level, virtually by himself.
In a room abuzz with the election hustle, International Boxing Association (AIBA) vice-president Edgar Tanner sat quietly and patiently. The Australian’s sole responsibility was to observe the Boxing Federation of India’s election process and provide a report of it to the sport’s world body. And after the elections concluded, he asserted he was happy with what he saw. “I will be reporting to the International Boxing Association that the Indian Federation is back, up and running,” he said. Back in 2012, the then Indian Amateur Boxing Federation was de-recognised by the
AIBA due to manipulated elections. Since then, there has not been a suitable body handling the sport, resulting in Indian pugilists not being allowed to compete under the country’s flag. “The rest of the international boxing community was very sad that the Indian teams weren’t able to march under the Indian flag, or that there would be no national anthem
played if the boxers won a gold medal,” Tanner said. There was an attempt to shape a national body in the form of Boxing India in 2014, but that group too was suspended following a revolt between the state units. Subsequently, under the guidance of AIBA, an ad-hoc committee was formed to temporarily govern the sport’s affairs in the country.
India’s Lopamudra Raut is second runner-up in Miss United Continents
(H.S.) | New Delhi There is no denying that the world is now increasingly acknowledging the allure of Indian beauty. At an event on September 25, 2016, Lopamudra Raut bagged the second runner-up spot at Miss United Continents, which was held in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Jeslyn Santos from the Philippines won the title of Miss
United Continents. Raut received a cash prize of $15,000. She also won the Best National Costume sub-contest, which was designed by Melvyn Noronha. “I still can’t believe that I have won the Miss United Continents title of second-runner up. I feel immensely proud and ecstatic. I am very happy for the support of my family, friends and fans that
supported me through this journey,” Raut said. The Maharashtrian model was born and brought up in Nagpur, and has an electrical engineering degree. The 24-year-old has been participating in beauty pageants such as the Femina Miss India and Miss Diva since 2013, but it was only in 2016 that she finally got a chance to represent India on an international podium. Previously, India’s Gail Nicole D’Silva won first runner-up at Miss United Continents 2014 and Sushrii Shreya Mishraa was crowned third runner-up at Miss United Continents 2015.

Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Eight Dalit victims of caste-based discrimination or atrocity from Una region of Saurashtra on Sunday began indefinite hunger strike at Satyagraha Chhavni in Gandhinagar, seeking redressal of their various demands from the Gujarat government. The victims are from various villages and towns of Saurashtra like Akolali, Ningala, Vadli, Samter, Rajula and Amreli. And they are victims of atrocities of different nature like murder, social boycott, ‘hijrat’ or forced
migration, alleged false prosecution, and alleged willful negligence by police in investigation of some of the cases. Ahmedabad-based human rights activist, Raju Solanki, said, “Una flogging issue is definitely painful. But, here in this region around Una, there are number of cases of atrocities against Dalits which are much graver and yet the victims are still searching for justice and the state administration is turning a deaf ear to them.” “So, these victims have, from today, sat on indefinite hunger strike here in Gandhinagar seeking redressal of their demands from the state government. And I am supporting them,” Solanki said.

Missing Ishrat Jahan papers: Delhi Police registers FIR on government complaint
GUjarat: State wheelchair Rahul Gandhi blames BJP, RSS after cricketers to play at national-level man throws shoe at him in UP rally Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad
A man was detained in Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur on Monday for hurling a shoe at Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi. Gandhi was holding a road show in the central UP town when Hari Om Mishra, believed to be between 30 and 35 years, threw a shoe at the Congress leader. The shoe did not hit Gandhi, who blamed the BJP-RSS combine for the incident. Gandhi, one of the most protected politicians in the country, is on a 2,500km ‘Kisan Yatra’ across Uttar Pradesh, seeking to revive the Congress in a bellwether state it dominated before regional parties built along caste lines displaced it from power 27 years ago and left it a marginal player. Mishra, who claimed to be a
and valuable securities (affidavit)’ are recorded as “stolen”. The five missing documents pertain to the controversial second affidavit filed by the Home Ministry under the UPA government in the Gujarat High Court, on September 29, 2009. The high court was hearing a case filed by Ishrat’s mother Shamima Kausar. In its first affidavit filed in the court on August 6 that year, the Home Ministry had argued against a CBI probe. It had cited Intelligence Bureau inputs that Ishrat, her companion Javed Shaikh alias Pranesh Pillai, Zee-
shan Johar and Amjad Ali Rana — killed in an alleged encounter by the Gujarat Police on June 15, 2004 — had been part of a Lashkar-e-Toiba sleeper cell. “Ishrat was actively associated with LeT,” that affidavit had stated. Six weeks later, on September 29, in a second affidavit, the Home Ministry had said the IB inputs were “not conclusive proof” that the persons killed had terror links. It had also said that the government had no objection to the court ordering a CBI probe, as demanded by Ishrat’s mother.

Yet Gandhi was holding road shows and khat sabhas in UP, Mishra alleged, referring to the Congress leader’s campaigns in the poll-bound state. He also alleged that Congress had failed to deliver when the party was in power at the Centre. Police caught hold of Mishra, a resident
of Shastri Nagar locality, immediately after the incident. He was being interrogated. Soon after the incident, Gandhi hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party and its ideological parent, the RSS. “Someone hurled a shoe at me. The shoe did not touch me, but I want to tell BJP and RSS people that throw as many shoes you want, I won’t back out. “My brotherhood and love will stay with me, your hatred will stick to you,” Gandhi said.
(H.S.) | New Delhi Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said there was anger in the nation following the terrorist attack in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir which left 18 jawans dead. “Those responsible for Uri attack will not go unpunished,” Prime Minister Modi said, adding that he had huge respect for the Indian Army and had full faith in them. “Peace, unity and harmony are the
ways to resolve problems and move towards development,” Modi said in a message to Kashmiris. My dear countrymen, Namaskar! We recently lost 18 brave sons of our country in a terrorist attack in Uri Sector in Jammu and Kashmir. I salute these valiant soldiers and pay my tributes to them. This cowardly act has shocked the entire Nation. There are strong emotions of widespread grief as well as anger across the country. And, this is not only a loss for the families who have lost a son, a brother or a husband. In fact, it is a national loss.
