A gold deposit scheme launched amid fanfare by Prime Minister Nar-endra Modi two weeks ago has so far attracted only 400 grammes, an industry official said on Thursday, out of a na-tional hoard estimated at 20,000 tonnes. Modi has urged Indians to put gold stashed in homes and temples in the bank, of-fering modest rates of in-terest that earlier schemes have lacked. His govern-ment has also launched ‘paper’ gold in the form of gold-backed bonds.

A public interest litiga-tion (PIL) was filed in the Gujarat High Court on Wednesday seeking stay on the local body polls on the grounds of gross mis-management and regu-larities by the State Elec-tion Commission (SEC).

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy today demanded a CBI or ED probe alleg-ing that there is a possi-bility that a shell compa-ny with Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi as Company Secretary and Director may have been formed in Britain. Swamy, who a couple of days ago alleged that Ra-hul has declared himself a British national in docu-

ments before the compa-ny law authorities in the UK, told reporters here that he has written a fresh letter to the Prime Min-ister Narendra Modi on the subject and demanded a CBI or ED probe into it. “While I do not have complete picture, the ma-terial enclosed are of suf-ficient prima facie value to order an investigation by the CBI/Enforcement Directorate with Mr Ra-

hul Gandhi as the princi-pal accused,” Swami said in a letter to Modi. The Congress had however, rejected the allegations of nationality against Rahul saying that it is a “bunch of falsehood”. Reacting to gandhi’s challenge to the government to jail him, Swamy took a dig at him saying “whether he is right or not ….police will take him. He will not go (to jail) on his own will.”

Hitting back over BJP leader Subramanian Swamy’s allegation ques-tioning his nationality, Ra-hul Gandhi on Thursday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “throw-ing mud” on him through his “cronies” and dared the government to “jail” him if he is guilty. Ad-dressing a Youth Congress gathering on the occasion of the 98th birth anniver-sary of Indira Gandhi, he also accused the RSS and the BJP of throwing mud on his family mem-bers ever since he was a

child, asserting that he is “not going to be scared” by such things and that he will continue to fight against BJP. “Ever since I was a child, I have been watching people from RSS and BJP throwing mud at my grand moth-er, my father and even my mother. I want to say one thing. Modi ji is now the Prime Minister of In-dia. Different kinds of allegations are levelled against me.

Af-ter an argument, the pas-sengers threatened to get down from the plane if the lawyers were not deboard-ed from the aircraft, they said. Finally, the matter was reported to airport au-thorities who alerted the police. The three lawyers were detained by CISF personnel. They were taken to a police station and put under arrest after questioning. The flight

was delayed by one hour due to the incident. An FIR was filed in the wee hours today against the three lawyers under IPC Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 268 (pub-lic nuisance) and under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, po-lice said. The three ac-cused were produced today in VI Judicial mag-istrate court which re-manded them in judicial custody for 14 days.

PM Narendra Modi’s gold deposit scheme attracts only 400 grams so far

Jewellery Export Promo-tion Council. “Only 400 grammes have been de-posited so far,” Sankhwal told reporters after meet-ing financial ministry of-ficials. “The government has agreed to review the scheme and open more centres for gold testing and depositing in banks.” Indians have a deep at-tachment to gold, which they value not just as a wedding gift but also as a

way to keep wealth away from the prying eyes of tax collectors. That, say experts, will make it a challenge to wean them off the yellow met-al and put the vast store of wealth to work in In-dia’s undersized financial system, funding invest-ments that Modi hopes would promote economic growth and create jobs. A finance ministry offi-cial said the government

had agreed to increase the number of testing centres and refineries involved in the scheme. There are 29 testing centres and four refineries current-ly accredited to it. The number of testing centres would increase to 55, and refineries to 20, by the end of the year. Another scheme, to mint India’s own series of gold coins, is going a bit better than the deposit scheme.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYPolitical speech: It is difficult to decide where to draw the line but it

must be drawnThe invocation of sedition (Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code) against Hardik Patel, and his colleagues leading the Patidar movement, by the Gujarat government is a sign of the increasing in-tolerance of any political movement venting out people’s grievances. The offence of sedition in-volves the question of the relationship between a government and the people. In the past, when the government was the absolute ruler and people were the subjects, any opposition, however peaceful, was considered a challenge to political authority and, as such, was punishable as sedition. But with the ar-rival of democratic governments, recognition of se-dition became controversial. The difficult question is: Where to draw line between permissible speech and justifiable limits in the interest of safeguarding the political authority of a democratic state? The In-dian Penal Code, in chapter VI, titled “Of offences against the state” defines sedition in section 124A. It reads as: “Whoever by words, either spoken or written or by signs or visible representation, or oth-erwise, brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt or attempts to excite disaffection towards government established by law in India, shall be punished with imprisonment for life to which fee may be added, or with imprisonment which may extend to three years, to which fine may be added, or with fine.” It includes disloyalty and all feelings of enmity. It excludes comments expressing disap-probation of the measures of a government with a view to obtain their alteration by lawful means, or comments expressing disapprobation of the admin-istrative or other action of the government without exciting or attempting to excite hatred, contempt or disaffection. Before Independence, many, including Lokmanya Tilak, were punished under this section. Even after Independence, the Supreme Court used the section in several cases in spite of the warning. An almost similar definition of sedition exists in the English common law. If strictly interpreted, it would cover almost all political speeches and oratory. But the common law definition has been liberalised in a number of ways by the judiciary. Mere speech, however inflammatory or inciting, is not sufficient; the speaker must intend to cause violence. The true test is, “was the language used calculated, or was it not, to promote public disorder or physical force or violence in a matter of state?” As a result of these dilutions, its use has become rare.

“While I do not have complete picture, the material enclosed are of sufficient prima facie value to order an investigation by the CBI/Enforcement directorate with Mr Rahul Gandhi as the principal accused,”

Sushant Singh played the antagonist in the second film of the popular erot-ic-thriller franchise “Hate Story”, but the actor is sad that he could not be a part of the third instal-ment. The 43-year-old ac-tor, who has given some impactful performances both in films and televi-sion, says he would have loved to join the cast of “Hate Story 3” if his char-acter would have survived in the previous film. “I do regret not being a part of ‘Hate Story 3’.

When Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol come together, there’s nothing but pure romanticism that comes to life onscreen and that’s exactly what director Ro-hit Shetty has captured in ‘Gerua’, the first song from ‘Dilwale’. The ro-mantic number is dreamy and beautiful, featur-ing the lead pair – Shah Rukh and Kajol. With embraces, caresses and intense gazes, they dis-play their love and affec-tion for each other.

There is no doubt that Pri-yanka Chopra is a super-woman in her own right. Rumours are rife that the Bollywood actress, who is riding high on success with her Hollywood de-but in American thriller television series, Quanti-co, will be seen playing a superwoman on the big screen as well. However, nothing can be said to be confirmed as of now. If the speculations are to be believed, Abhinay Deo is planning for a super-hero flick, for which he has approached Priyanka Chopra. Neither the ru-mours are confirmed, nor Priyanka’s approval for the flick. Only time will tell if the gossips turn out to be true. It is said that the discussions are on ad-vanced stage as of now. Abhinay is currently busy with the shooting of Force 2 that stars John Abraham and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles. Meanwhile, Priyanka is also busy shooting for Quantico.

Major banking transactions took a hit on Thursday as over 17,000 employees of RBI went on ‘one-day mass casual leave’, protesting against reform mea-sures of the central government and seeking better retirement benefits. Among the services that were affected were cheque clearances, payments and settlements, and forex transactions. The protest -- the first at the apex bank in six years -- was called by the United Forum of Reserve Bank Officers and Employees, the umbrella organisation of four recognised unions of officers and other employees at the central bank. The unions are opposing the government’s move to take away the public debt management from the Reserve Bank and curtail its powers on monetary policy. “The government, by various mechanisms, is taking away functions of RBI. They have proposed to form Public Debt Management Agency (PDMA).

The Delhi high court on Thursday asked the state government not to with-hold the ‘no objection certificate (NOC)’ for the upcoming India-South Africa Test match, say-ing that the Delhi and District Cricket Associa-tion (DDCA) has agreed to deposit Rs one crore in connection with the administration’s exter-tainment tax demand. A bench of justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and San-jeev Sachdeva also direct-ed the AAP government not to take any coercive measures against DDCA in connection with Rs 24-crore entertainment tax demand raised on the cricketing body by the administration’s Excise, Entertainment and Lux-

ury Tax department. The court asked DDCA to deposit Rs one crore in two instalments of Rs 50 lakh each with the depart-ment whose clearance is also required to host the India-South Africa Test match at Feroz Shah Kotla stadium from De-cember 3 to December 7. The first instalment is to be paid within two weeks from Thursday and the remaining in two weeks thereafter, the bench said. “No coercive steps will be taken till further orders,” it said and list-ed the matter for further hearing on November 27. DDCA vice-president Chetan Chauhan said the state association is ready to put up a good show at the Feroz Shah Kotla. “We are thankful to the

judiciary for taking a pos-itive step for the cricket lovers of the capital. We will now put all our en-ergies towards hosting a successful game,” a jubi-lant Chauhan. “We have already started the work of the match. On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank everybody who worked hard to make this happen and we will organise a good game,” the former India cricketer said. The order came on DDCA’s plea challenging a recent Delhi govern-ment decision to slap a demand of Rs 24.45 crore as entertainment tax dues on the association. It also claimed that the govern-ment was trying to reas-sess its entertainment tax dues for the period from 2003 till 2005.

Defending champions Atletico de Kolkata came from a goal down to beat Chennaiyin FC 2-1 and jump to the second spot in the Indian Super League football tournament, in Kolkata on Wednesday. Raphael Augusto put the visitors ahead in the 27th minute before Atletico produced the turnaround with a superb display by man-of-the-match Sa-meehg Doutie. The South African right winger brought in the equaliser before the interval and produced a fine assist in the 63rd minute for

Iain Hume to score his fifth goal in the tourna-ment. Atletico jumped to the second place behind leaders FC Goa with 17 points from 11 matches, while Chennayin were rooted to the bottom of the table with 10 points from as many matches. This was also the Kolkata outfit’s first win at home in three matches as they returned to winning ways after two successive de-feats at the Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan. Raphael Augusto put Chennayin ahead in the 27th minute when the Brazilian took advantage

of some sloppy defending by Augustin Fernandes to make a clincial finish. Augusto played a little one-two with Fikru and made his way into the box after the Atletico left back made a failed div-ing attempt to clear the ball. Arnab Mondal too came in his way but once Augusto went past Fer-nandes there was no stop-ping him as the Brazilian calmly slotted the ball home. Having conceded the first goal in front of the home crowd, Atletico lifted their game in what was a lacklustre start for both the teams.

History was made at the Chinnaswamy Stadium over the last four days, by doing nothing. The second Test match between India and South Africa was the first ever to witness more than three washed-out days on Indian soil. You could frame the inclement weather as the major cul-prit for the complete lack of action in Bangalore, but funnily enough you never got to see the kind of apocalyptic rain that you would expect to have caused such catastrophic

damage to a Test match. It was eventually a drizzle that killed the second Test. It was also a highly billed contest owing to this be-ing AB de Villiers’s 100th Test. Though the thou-sands who turned up at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on the first day did get to see the milestone man dish out a customarily special knock, 85 off 105 balls, the match itself will be re-membered — as difficult a task as that seems — for statistics of a different kind. It was after all the second shortest Test ever

in India — Bangalore saw 81 overs being bowled as compared to the 71 that India and New Zealand competed over in Chen-nai 20 years ago in 1995 — and the 11th shortest in the history of the game. It also brought a watery end to India’s second-best run on home soil — they had won 7 straight Tests since Australia’s tour here in 2013. Moreover the rain reversal meant that South Africa have now seen 10 days out of a possible 20 being decided by rain in the last four Tests.

Until 1981, Manjula Va-ghela, now 60, used to work as a paper picker on the city streets for a living, earning Rs 5 per day. On rainy and cold days, this measly income would also elude her. Today, Manjula heads a cleaners’ cooperative with 400 members that provide cleaning and housekeeping services to 45 institutions and societies in Ahmedabad raking in a turnover of Rs 1 crore per annum! Manjula recalls how Shri Saundarya Safai Utkarsh Mahila Sewa Sahkari Mandali Ltd (SSSUMS-SML) consisting of 40 women offering com-mercial cleaning services was born after coming in contact with Elaben Bhatt-founded Self-Em-ployed Women’s Asso-ciation (Sewa). “Nation-al Institute of Design was the first institution to give business to us. Next, Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) hired our 15 women,” says Manjula, who was then the chief supervisor.

She recalls how it took five years to convince authorities to register their cooperative as they were not selling any product but a service. Over the years, Saund-arya Mandali has gone from strength to strength through several levels of training. From provid-ing cleaning services in institutions of national repute to residential so-cieties, they also offered services during Vibrant Gujarat summits in the past. The majority of the cleaning women are for-mer paper pickers. Their gunny collection bags now replaced with mod-ern equipment including road cleaners, vacuum cleaners, high-jet pres-sure, micro-fibre mops, floor cleaners, carpet shampooing machines, scrubbers and extractors, these women claim to do a mean cleaning job. It was a milestone hitting the Rs 1 crore turnover mark. The next target is to make illiterate women tech-savvy to ensure that they can crack the e-ten-dering process.

The two BJP leaders - former party president of Bharuch district and se-nior RSS member Shirish Bangali and general sec-retary of Bharatiya Janta Yuva Morcha of Bharuch district Pragnesh Mistry - were shot dead by two unidentified gunmen in Bharuch on November 2. After taking over the probe and arresting nine persons from different parts of Gujarat, Rajas-than and Uttarakhand, Gujarat Anti Terrorist

Squad (ATS) claimed that the contract for killing the BJP leaders was allegedly given by absconding 1993 Mumbai serial blasts ac-cused Javed Dawood Pa-tel, also known as Javed Chikna, apparently to avenge riots in Mumbai during 1993 and in Gu-jarat during 2002. The contract killing assign-ment was allegedly given by Chikna to one of the arrested accused Imran Kadri, who then took help of eight others to carry out the murders.

“I have resigned from pri-mary membership of the party as I felt insulted. I will not join any political party but will support my loyalists who are contest-

ing as independent candi-dates.” Desai had submit-ted his resignation from the party to Valsad district BJP president Kanu De-sai Wednesday afternoon.

Immediately after hand-ing over the resignation letter, Desai called a press conference in Valsad and made announcement of his resignation from the party. Desai had contested from Valsad town assem-bly seat for five consecu-tive times since 1980 and turned out victorious. The last election he fought was in 2007. He had once been made minister of forest and environment in state cabinet.

es of cotton. She further said that the government will take steps so that cotton-cultivators are not meted out injustice. The CM went on to add that the government had chalked out a plan to tackle the situation but it could not be announced immediately due to the

model code of conduct of election. Incidental-ly, Patel had also raised the issue of cotton prices with Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Mohan Kundariya last week. Gu-jarat is the largest cotton producer in the country. Saurashtra region, includ-

ing Jamnagar district, is the largest producer of the natural fibre in the state. On the smart city project, she said as soon as the elections were over, “I as-sure you that in the next one year, there will be wi-fi across Gujarat…you can work on your com-puter even on the road or and in your balcony. Our youth should be able to access college lectures online. Our youth should not think that I am left be-hind because my mobile does not have Internet”. The AMC will go to polls along with five other cor-porations on Sunday.

enrolled for higher edu-cation. The report cites that the reason for this is the level of educa-tion for women is poor among rural stretches of Gujarat since not many women were taking up education in the past. However, the trend is now changing as a result of increased awareness,

the report says. Anoth-er reason for the lower number of households with women graduates is the lack of academ-ic infrastructure in the state. In addition, some of the families in rural areas are still unwilling to send their daughters to urban areas for fur-ther studies.

eral ups and down as most of the witnesses turned hostile, including the com-plainant Dr Amit Shah,” said advocate V D Gajjar, who represented Dr Meh-ta. Dr Shah is the father of Vismay, who was ear-lier this year convicted in a hit and run case and sentenced to five years imprisonment. The De-tection of Crime Branch (DCB), Ahmedabad, had

booked Dr Mehta along with 18 others, including Rajan and members of Babbar Khalsa group, a terrorist group. Dr Meh-ta’s name was not there in the original FIR, but after Shah’s statement, a sup-plementary chargesheet was filed against him. Shah was one of the prime witness in the case, who turned hostile during the course of trial.

take oath for the fifth time as Bihar’s Chief Min-ister at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan. Ending specula-tion over the invite, Nit-ish spoke to the PM over telephone and extended his invitation. While PM Modi will not attend the event, the Union govern-ment will be represented at the function by Parlia-mentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu and MoS (Independent Charge) Rajiv Pratap Rudy. JD (U) state president Bash-istha Narayan Singh said it was part of protocol to invite the Prime Minis-ter. The party’s national spokesperson KC Tya-gi said: “It is a matter of standard protocol to in-vite the PM. Even Arvind Kejriwal invited him, but the PM did not attend…We are looking forward to good relationship with the Centre.” The JD(U), meanwhile, is working towards using the stage to send out a message about

a potential anti-BJP alli-ance at the national level through the presence of top leaders from non-BJP parties. On Wednesday evening, Nitish tweeted a list of important invitees who had confirmed their plans to attend Friday’s swearing-in. The list of 35 people included Con-gress vice-president Ra-hul Gandhi, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, DMK’s MK Stalin, former PM HD Deve Gowda, West Bengal CM Mamata Ba-nerjee, Assam CM Tarun Gogoi, Sikkim CM Pawan Kumar Chamling, UP CM Akhilesh Yadav, Himach-al CM Virbhadra Singh, Arunachal Pradesh CM Nabam Tuki, and Karnata-ka CM Siddaramaiah. The Left, which is now eager to mend ties with the so-cialist bloc after fighting against the Grand Alliance in Bihar, will be represent-ed by CPM general secre-tary Sitaram Yechury and CPI’s D Raja.
