Agency : Mumbai, May 14 Nickel prices continued to fall in an otherwise listless non-ferrous metal market here today on stockists selling amidst reduced demand from alloy industries. While, tin prices firmed up further owing to buying by stockists amidst sustained offtake from consuming industries. In overseas markets, the industrial metal copper was trading steady in early trade, underpinned by a weaker US dollar after fresh evidence of a soft patch in the world’s top economy and expectations that Beijing would step up stimulus to revive growth.Youth arrested for in-juring girl in Rajouri

Modi holds ‘substantive’ talks with Xi Jinping

Indian envoy target of Taliban attack on Kabul guest house that killed 14

Agency : KabulAn overnight Taliban at-tack on a Kabul guesthouse that left 14 people dead, including nine foreigners, was reportedly targeted at the Indian ambassador to Afghanistan, security sources in Delhi said on Thursday. The most auda-cious assault by the insur-gents in the Afghan cap-ital since the start of their spring offensive claimed four Indians, including a woman. In Afghanistan, President Ashraf Ghani’s envoy, Ahmad Zia Mas-soud, told media that mil-itants attacked a guest

house in an upmarket area on Wednesday night thinking Indian ambas-sador Amar Sinha was in the compound. Sinha was scheduled to visit Park guest house for a Hin-dustani classical concert by Ustaad Altaf Hussain. Shortly before the concert, armed gunmen stormed the place popular with foreigners. Hussain was present in the guest house during the attack and he is safe, according to the Indi-an embassy in Kabul. He was among seven Indians present at the site of the attack, which ended after

a seven-hour operation. Last year, heavily armed gunmen ambushed the In-dian consulate in Herat. The assault that took place in May was reportedly meant to cast a shadow over Prime Minister Nar-endra Modi’s swearing-in ceremony, in which then Afghanistan president Ha-mid Karzai was a special invitee. In Wednesday’s Taliban assault, the full breakdown of the nation-alities of the nine foreign-ers who were killed was not immediately known; but an American, a British citizen and an Italian, apart

from the four Indians, lost their lives. But since the US and NATO forces formally concluded their combat mission at the end of last year, Afghan securi-ty forces have struggled to fend off Taliban attacks on their own. The UN mission in Afghanistan condemned the assault, saying in a statement Thursday that it was an “atrocity.” “Tal-iban statements on avoid-ing civilian casualties ring hollow when we set them against the latest killings,” said UNAMA’s human rights director Georgette Gagnon.

Rupee surges 35 paise vs dollar; extends gains for second day

Agency : MumbaiExtending gains for the sec-ond straight day, the rupee on Thursday surged by 35 paise to 63.65 on persistent selling of dollars by banks and exporters on weakness of the American currency in overseas market. Banks and exporters preferred to reduce their dollar position in view of lower greenback demand in overseas market. The unit continued to weak-en in the global market, sending a benchmark dol-lar index to the lowest level since late January as recent sluggish US data prompt in-vestors to rethink the timing of the first Federal Reserve rate hike. The dollar index

was trading down 0.38 per cent against its major glob-al rivals. In New York mar-ket, the US dollar weakened against most of its major rivals yesterday after a slate of disappointing econom-ic data. The rupee opened higher at 63.97 per dollar against the last closing lev-el of 64.00 at the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) Market and hovered in a range of 63.61 and 64.04 before concluding the day at 63.65, showing a gain of 35 paise or 0.55 per cent.

Cong hails SC, BJP welcomes move: Who said what after Kejriwal govt’s media circular

Agency : New DelhiThe Supreme Court stayed on Thursday a cir-cular by the Delhi govern-ment on filing defamation cases against media or-ganisations for any news that caused damage to its reputation or that of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. Asking Kejriwal to ex-plain why the directorate of information had issued “such circular”, the court sought a reply within six weeks and listed the mat-ter for further hearing on July 8. The court’s order came on an application filed by senior advocate Amit Sibal seeking va-cation of the stay grant-ed by the apex court on the proceedings before a trial court in a defama-tion case. Rival political parties welcomed the Su-preme Court order. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress quickly reacted to the apex court’s observation that accused Kejriwal of

following double stan-dards. Welcoming the SC’s decision of staying the circular, expelled AAP leader Prashant Bhushan too criticised the “double standard” of the Kejriwal dispensation. Congress general secretary and DPCC chief Ajay Maken said the Kejriwal gov-ernment had not only tar-geted the media but also tried to throttle the voices of its political adversaries through the circular on filing of defamation cases against the media for any news that caused “dam-age” to its reputation. “It was against the basic principle of freedom of

expression. What Arvind Kejriwal wanted was to not only gag the media but also the common man and leaders of political par-ties. The circular was to-tally unconstitutional and we welcome the Supreme Court order,” Maken said. Senior Congress leader Pramod Tiwari too praised the SC for safeguarding the nation’s crucial “fourth pillar of democracy”. “The court has shown (Arvind Kejriwal’s) real face. This is what he really deserved. It is a sign of victory of democracy, because, the media is considered as the fourth pillar of democra-cy,” Tiwari said.

Monsoon rains to hit southern India on time, may help sowing

Agency : New DelhiIndia’s weather office said on Thursday it ex-pects monsoon rains to hit the southern Kerala coast around May 30, a timely arrival for farmers wor-ried about dry weather

from an El Nino weath-er pattern this year. The June-September mon-soon season is vital for India as half its croplands lack irrigation, but a fore-cast of less rain than usual due to the emergence of

the El Nino has threatened to worsen rural distress. For millions of farmers whose winter-sown crops were damaged by unsea-sonal rains in February and March, the India Me-teorological Department’s (IMD) prediction of a timely start to the mon-soon may help them plan their sowing better. IMD considers a June 1 arrival as normal. Last year the annual rains hit the Ker-ala coast on June 6, lead-ing to deficient rains that trimmed grain output.

Agency : Xian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday discussed ways to strengthen “trust” and maintain peace on border between India and Chi-na, whose ties are often soured by the decades-old boundary dispute. Modi and Xi held substantive talks in this city, the first time a Chinese Presi-dent has done so outside Beijing, covering vari-ous issues ranging from political, economic and global issues like terror-ism, UNSC reforms and India’s membership of Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). “On the political side, there was a lot of discussion on strengthen-ing trust and increasing convergence,” said For-eign Secretary S Jaishan-kar while briefing media on the 90-minute delega-tion-level talks without

taking any questions. He said the two leaders dis-cussed the boundary issue, including peace and tran-quility, besides trans-bor-der rivers. The boundary issue has been a stick-ing point in the relations between the two major Asian countries and both are making efforts to settle it through Special Repre-sentatives’ talks. The Spe-cial Representatives have held 18 rounds of discus-sions so far. China says the border dispute is confined only to 2,000 km most-ly in Arunachal Pradesh whereas India asserts that

the dispute covered the western side of the border spanning to about 4,000 km, especially the Aksai Chin area ceded to Chi-na by Pakistan. Talking about the atmospherics at the meeting, the third be-

tween the two leaders in one year, Jaishankar said, “the atmosphere was very comfortable. So, in the sense it was building on the chemistry between the two of them which start-ed last September.” Xi’an

is Xi’s hometown, which Modi made the first stop-over of his three-day trip, reciprocating the Chi-nese President’s gesture of travelling to Modi’s hometown Ahmedabad in September last year. On

the economic front, Modi and Xi discussed the is-sue of trade deficit, which is in favour of China, and ways to address it. They

also talked about the in-vestment climate and chal-lenges of reforms, Jaishan-kar said. In this context, the Chinese President talked about the “miracle of Gu-jarat” under Modi and “the fact that he is trying to now do it at the national level.” The two leaders also dis-cussed the problem of ter-rorism in the context of last night’s attack in Kabul, as also Wednesday’s attack in Karachi, the Foreign Sec-retary said.

Is Delhi Being Governed?It has been nearly three months since the Aam Admi Party (AAP) government came to power in Delhi. However the promised effective and honest gover-nance still seems to be a distant dream for the people of Delhi. After the initial announcement of a knee jerk reduction in power and water tariff, the new gov-ernment has since been embroiled with protracted in-ternal party strife and other affairs with governance being the biggest casualty. Internal democracy within the party and the institution of internal Lok Pal within AAP have been the biggest casualties in last couple of months. Unfortunately these were two important pillars on which the AAP had based its campaign and secured a thumping win in the Delhi elections. It is a pity that the party seems to have hitched a one way ride from the perceived high pedestal it once occu-pied and today is vying for a place in the unsavoury political gutter that has been the bane of our nation-al and state politics for last few decades. No wonder the Mohalla Sabhas that the AAP tries to organise in Delhi have very few takers these days. It’s once AAM leaders are today demanding to be labelled as ‘special’ – after all power corrupts as is well known. The AAP government in Delhi has a few very dubi-ous achievements to its credit in the last few months as far as governance is concerned. First it failed to look into the matter of funds for the three municipal corporations in Delhi, that unfortunately for AAP are BJP controlled. The Kejriwal government told them in no uncertain terms that it had no funds to allocate and if any corporation wanted funds, it should ap-proach the Finance Minister at the centre. The AAP government conveniently forgot that its regime in Delhi is actually limited to these three corporations since they represent Delhi that gave AAP a huge mandate. The approach of the AAP government can be termed as anti BJP, but in reality it was anti Delhi voter. Any Delhi government has to work with and through its three main municipal corporations if it wants to do anything for the people of Delhi. By washing its hands off the needs of the corporations, the AAP government has indirectly washed its hands off the people of Delhi. The next issue that has been the high light of the AAP government is its constant bickering and fighting with the central government over the issue of statehood for Delhi. Mr Kejriwal would like the Delhi voter to believe that there can be no development or governance in Delhi unless its status is changed and full state hood granted. He for-gets that Delhi has been governed by different state governments since partial statehood was granted in 1993. Also it is but natural that the central govern-ment will always have a stake in governance of Delhi since it also happens to be the national capital of the nation. The later actually is good for the state since it ensures that the centre will always be partial in allo-cation of resources for Delhi.

Salman Khan shoots in extreme tem-perature for `Bajrangi Bhaijaan`

Agency : New DelhiThe visuals of actor Ran-veer Singh taking a dive in the ocean and beat-ing up a shark in a Rupa Frontline advertisement have got the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) up in arms. PETA plans to take the matter forward by writing to the actor and the brand. “PETA will be writing to Rupa Frontline and Ranveer Singh to

share our concerns on be-half of sharks and today’s socially aware youth,” said Poorva Joshipura, PETA India CEO, in a statement. In the adver-tisement, the “Gunday” actor can be seen trying to impress a girl and diving into the ocean to save her from a shark. He is later seen thrashing the shark. The animal rights organ-isation also condemned the gesture of using an

animal to woo someone. “By recruiting Ranveer Singh, Rupa Frontline is desperately trying to at-tract youth, but nothing shows how utterly out of touch with youngsters the company actually is than its depiction of cruelty to animals in its advertise-ment. There is nothing sexy about pretending to beat up an animal, and nothing that may disgust a girl more.

IPL 8: Mumbai Indians face stern Knight Riders test in do-or-die clash

Agency : MumbaiTheir juggernaut having come to a halt against the batting might of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians face a virtual make or break sit-uation when they take on defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League cricket here tomorrow. The loss here last Sunday to RCB, after a superb five-game winning streak, has come at the wrong time. But MI would be seeking inspiration from their overall 10-5 win-loss record against KKR who, however, won their previ-ous season-opening clash on April 8 by seven wick-ets. MI would have loved to go into the tough battle with their tails up instead

of licking their wounds inflicted by the brutal as-sault on their bowling attack by A B de Villiers who smashed 133 not out off just 59 balls. Having just 12 points in their kit-ty with tomorrow’s last home game at the Wank-hede Stadium followed by their concluding away match against Sunrisers

Hyderabad on May 17 in hand, MI have very little margin of error to play with. MI need to pull up their socks and put behind the humiliating 39-run loss to RCB in their home bastion when they take on the formidable Knight Riders who go into the game placed second on the table.

India-Pakistan series: Dalmiya optimistic

Agency : New DelhiThe India and Pakistan boards, which have signed an MoU to resume their cricketing ties, await a re-ply from the authorities with hope and optimism. The visit by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief, Shahryar Khan, seeking the Board’s assistance in reviv-ing bi-lateral contests, has led to widespread specula-tion concerning the Indian government’s approval. “Too early to say anything and too early to expect any-

thing. But, we are optimis-tic,” said Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Jagmohan Dalmi-ya from Kolkata. Dalmiya and Shahryar, who are keen to revive one of the biggest rivalries in the game, have set December as the pro-spective time. India is ex-pected to play three Tests, five ODIs and two T20s in the UAE, which serves as Pakistan’s home venue. The last bi-lateral series be-tween the two nations was in 2011 when India hosted

Pakistan for a three-match ODI series. According to sources, the Board had not even made a formal re-quest to the Sports Minis-try for its approval to visit the UAE for the proposed series against Pakistan. “Too early for the Board to make this application be-cause the series, if it hap-pens, is still seven months away. How can the gov-ernment give its clearance for such a tour more than six months in advance? The two Boards are keen to have a Test series but it all depends on government approval,” said a Board official. The process in-volves a request from the Board to the Sports Min-istry which, in turn, will seek the approval of vari-ous ministries, notably Ex-ternal Affairs and Home, before giving its sanction.

Badminton: South Korea crush Indian hopes in Sudirman Cup

Agency : DongguanSouth Korea sent In-dia crashing out of the Sudirman Cup on Wednesday as they set up a crunch quarter-final against Lee Chong Wei’s Malaysia. Women’s world number two Saina Nehwal was the lone vic-tor for India as they lost 4-1 to exit the mixed-teams tournament, fol-lowing their earlier defeat to Malaysia. Ma-laysia’s Lee, back from a drugs ban, awaits South Korea in the last eight while hosts and favou-rites China were drawn against Germany. Indo-nesia, who beat Denmark 3-2 on Wednesday, play Taiwan in the quarters while the Danes, weak-

ened by the axing of top players in a cookie spon-sorship row, are against Japan. Nehwal beat South Korea’s Bae Yeon-Ju 20-22, 21-17, 13-21 but the hard-fought win mattered little as her In-dia team-mates were un-able to capitalise. Kashy-ap Parupalli went down to Son Wan-Ho and women’s doubles pair

Agency : BerlinJuventus will face Bar-celona in the Champions League final after Alva-ro Morata came back to haunt former club and holders Real Madrid with the precious away goal in a 1-1 draw in the second leg of their semi-final on Wednesday to progress 3-2 on aggregate. With Juven-tus leading 2-1 from the first leg, Cristiano Ronal-do’s first-half penalty had put the hosts ahead on away goals. However, Mo-rata, who left Madrid for the Italian champions last July, struck the vital blow when he volleyed home Paul Pogba’s knockdown on 57 minutes to take Ju-ventus to their first final in 12 years in Berlin on June

6. Soaring temperatures of over 30 degrees celsius didn’t prevent a frantic start to the match as the hosts went looking for the goal they needed from the off. Gareth Bale had the first chance as he headed over Marcelo’s cross be-fore Karim Benzema blast-ed off target from a nar-row angle having turned

Stephan Lichtsteiner bril-liantly inside the area. Ronaldo then saw a free-kick deflected narrowly over, but Juventus were also enjoying good spells of possession and Iker Casillas was forced into action on 13 minutes when he turned Arturo Vidal’s effort from the edge of the box to safety.

Agency : MumbaiRajasthan Royals mentor Rahul Dravid insisted on Thursday that his team has not played poor cricket in the ongoing Indian Premier League barring one game against Royal Challengers Bangalore when they were restricted to a paltry score of 130. “We started well by

winning five games on the trot. Then two of our games got rained out and we lost two games (against Sunris-ers Hyderabad and Chen-nai Super Kings). We have not played badly barring the one game against RCB when we made 130. The others were lost narrowly and or via the super over

RBI to set up IT subsidiary to check cyber crime

Agency : MumbaiThe Reserve Bank of In-dia (RBI) will float an information technology subsidiary to beef up cy-ber security in the bank-ing system, RBI governor Raghuram Rajan said af-ter a meeting of the cen-tral bank’s board in Goa on Thursday. The gov-ernor told reporters that although India’s infor-mation technology (IT) system is robust, cyber criminals are evolving their technology rapidly. With the coming launch of a new set of payments banks that will be hugely IT dependent, a dedicat-ed IT subsidiary is need-ed to stay ahead of cyber criminals. “The kind of

hacking attacks that hap-pen in some of the devel-oped markets, they are not unique to those areas. We have to be prepared if such attacks happen here,” said Rajan. The RBI board also decid-ed to make some minor financial “legislative changes” to improve the financial sector. Rajan

gave the example of net-ting off in currency de-rivatives trade where the rules have not evolved as much as the markets for derivatives. The board also evaluated the RBI’s finances, including its capital adequacy, and found the central bank to be in sound financial health.

Sunvilla News, AhmedabadThe Gujarat delegation accompanying Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his China tour today is loaded with stuff to make way to Chinese hearts through their stomachs. The team led by Chief Minister Anandiben Pa-tel has packed all the dry Gujarati snacks you can think of for their maiden trip to the dragon land. On Wednesday, Mayor Meenakshiben Patel’s staff was busy prepar-ing and packing thepla, khakhra, spicy wheat puri, methi vada, coco-nut laddoo and sukhdi. She is making sure that not just other Indian delegates but also the hosts experience a taste of Gujarat. Packets con-taining choicest sweets were also bought from a shop to be gifted to the

hosts. While the buzz is that some businessmen who are part of the del-egation will be travelling with their cooks, Gujara-ti snacks would be a con-venient alternative for those who cannot let a day pass without munch-ing on them. Patel said, “I will be taking with me Gujarati snacks so that even others get to taste them. Nowadays, people prefer avoiding refined

white flour. So, an easy alternative is thepla and spicy puri.” Homemade Gujarati food will also keep people away from junk food, she believes. Her cook remained busy throughout Wednesday, preparing spicy puris made of wheat. “One of my close friends sent me vagharela chana (roasted gram), sukhdi and coco-nut laddoo packets. I will take along with me methi na vada, thepla, and kha-khra during the travel,” she said. She will also carry with her Vishnu Shastra, Ganesh Vandana and other books to keep herself “charged”. Other items that will make it to China include miniature charkhas, Kutchembroi-dery wall pieces, purses and shawls from Gujarat to be presented as me-mentos to the hosts.

Report reveals what glittered wasn’t gold, relief likely for former Army Major

Sunvilla News, AhmedabadIn what could be a re-lief for ex-Army major Saurabh Saharan, the Directorate of Reve-nue Intelligence (DRI), Ahmedabad, submitted a report before a Metropol-itan Court here revealing that the 52 gold bars that it had seized have been found to be made of cop-per and lead. The DRI told the court it should decide on the bail application of Saharan and a co-accused since the case has become a bailable offence. DRI had arrested Saharan, a resident of Gurgaon, and his friend Surender Singh Dagar, a resident of Del-hi, on April 26 from two different hotels located at Ashram road and had recovered 52 gold bars from their custody. Af-ter the arrest, Saharan moved an application seeking bail, before the court claiming that the gold bars were not real. Following the applica-tion, DRI sent a sample for testing to the Gand-hinagar-based Forensic Science Laboratory. DRI

submitted the report — that revealed the gold bars are made of copper and lead — before the court on Wednesday. It says that the bars have “yellowish coloured metal of thickness about 0.02 mm” which was found to be gold. “The value of the consignment is now below Rs 1 crore

and, therefore, the case in hand becomes a bailable offence under the Cus-toms Act. However, it is not the case that DRI has stopped the investiga-tion. We are investigat-ing as for what purpose the accused brought the consignment and from whom,” Sudhir Gupta, lawyer for DRI, told the court. The DRI investi-gation is yet to establish the purpose of bringing such a consignment from Dubai.
