All three terrorists who attacked an army base in Jammu and Kashmir’s Tangdhar in the early hours of Wednesday were eliminated by the securi-ty forces after a five-hour gunbattle. A civilian was also killed in the firing. The Army had to summon Special Forces to deal with the crisis. Terrorist outfit Jaish-e-Muham-mad (JeM) has claimed responsibility for the at-tack.

Tunisian security offi-cials said on Wednesday a suicide bomber carried out the attack on a presi-dential guard bus, killing at least 13 and forcing the government to im-pose a nationwide state of emergency. Tues-day’s blast on a main boulevard in the capital

No group claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attack. But Tunisia has increasingly become a target for mil-itants after being hailed

as an example of dem-ocratic change since its 2011 uprising ousted au-tocrat Zine Abidine Ben Ali. “This is an evolution in the behaviour of the terrorists, this time they attacked a symbol of the state and in the heart of the capital,” Prime Min-ister Habib Essid told re-porters after an emergen-cy security meeting.

wards an Army camp this morning,” a senior Army official. He said there was a brief lull before the mil-itants opened fire again, triggering off a gunbat-tle, which was going on till last reports came in. The official said the mil-itants seem to be heavily armed as they used small fire arms and Under Bar-rel Grenade Launchers to carry out the attack. “So far there are no casual-ties reported,” he added.

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 in-tolerance 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 organ-isations that believed in “internal democracy”. At-tempting to strike a chord with the girls, he said, “ We are trying to encour-age young and educated women to join the Con-gress. We want to bring in more young people.” Accusing the PM of “act-ing like a dictator”, he said that he is not allow-ing any debate to happen in Parliament and is push-ing 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 Opposi-tion. Dialogic is the only solution for this coun-try’s problems but Modi doesn’t want to have a di-alogue.” 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.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWhy the Lalu-Kejriwal hug became a controversy..?

Gestures mean much in politics. It is not surpris-ing, 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 un-remarkable 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 individ-uals 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 impris-oned 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 corrup-tion. 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 in-fluential section of the popular imagination, the acme of political venality. Lalu, the original aam aadmi who claimed to represent the unrepresent-ed 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.

“Some incidents have occurred; though law and order is a state issue, still if people want to discuss it, we are ready,”

- Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu told reporters after an all-party meeting in the eve of Parliament’s winter session

A petition has been filed in a Pune court seeking a ban on Sanjay Lee-la Bhansali’s upcoming film Bajirao Mastani, alleging that it has dis-torted history relating to late king Shrimant Bajirao Peshwe and his family members. he case will come up for hearing on November 26 before Pune Metropolitan Mag-istrate S S Bhule, ac-cording to advocate Wa-jid Khan, who appeared on behalf of Hemant Patil, president of NGO- Bharat against Cor-ruption, who has filed the plea. The petition, filed yesterday, alleged that historical facts had

been wrongly portrayed in the film while show-ing late king Bajirao Peshwe and his wives Kashibai and Mastani. The ’Pinga‘ song in the film shows leading her-oines Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone dancing together, which, the petitioner said “dis-torts” history. ‘Pinga’ dance is an integral part of Marathi culture and has been portrayed as an ‘item song’ in the film, the petition alleged. Be-sides 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 mat-ter, said Wajid Khan. Earlier, Prasadrao Pe-shwe, the descendant of Bajirao Peshwa I, had also alleged that his-torical facts have been “altered” while portray-ing the late king and his wives in the film. In a letter written to Maha-rashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis yes-terday, Prasadrao has demanded that the gov-ernment look into the matter, review the soon-to-be-released film, in-vestigate the matter and take a decision accord-ingly.

Xiaomi has announced three new devices name-ly 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 res-olution 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.

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. Jade-ja (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-

ing match after India were reduced to 125-6 at one stage. 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. It will not be an easy task for South Africa, especially on a track which has already seen spinners from both sides claim eight out of the 12 wickets to fall on the opening day.

According to a report published by BBC, Gujarat has 61,353 ‘patients’ whose diseas-es can only be treated by consuming liquor.

court, the Surat Police described Hardik as the main leader of the four-month-old reservation movement. Hardik has been misdirecting the en-tire community by giv-ing baseless statements, police stated, adding that the Patidar communi-ty takes Hardik’s state-ments very seriously. A large number of people gathered in Ahmedabad Sammelan of Patidar Pa-tels on August 25. Later, offence was registered against him and the news

spread among the Pati-dar community through WhatsApp groups, and news channels, as a result of which violence start-ed in different districts. Some Hardik support-ers also spread inciting statements, adding fuel to the violence, police told the court. After Har-dik was arrested by Su-rat Police from Varachha area on September 19, the news spread through different WhatsApp groups (including one of which Hardik is a mem-

ber) and news channels. Large number of people came out on the road and damaged public proper-ty. During the violence, police department was intentionally targeted as a result of which a police constable was severely beaten up to death by an-gry people in Surat, police stated in the affidavit. A policeman, Dilip Rathwa, was lynched in Katargam area of Surat during the Patidar riots. Hardik was arrested for a second time by Surat police on Octo-ber 20 from Rajkot and a local court later sent him to judicial custody. The defence lawyer had filed a bail application with Surat district court on November 13 and the first hearing was conducted on November 16, followed by a second hearing on November 18.

Mehsana district, said, “The route was changed in the morning as the CM wanted to return early.” The BJP is on a sticky wicket in Mehsana due to the Patidar agitaton and has not put up any can-didate on its symbol in Unjha municipality of the district. Instead its can-didates will fight as in-dependents. On Monday evening, 71 Patidars, led by Mehsana’s Vijapur ta-luka Patidar Anamat An-dolan Samiti (PAAS) con-venor Manoj Patel, called a truce and joined the BJP and met Anandiben at the

BJP state headquarters at Shree Kamalam, Gandhi-nagar. Mehsana town was one of the regions which witnessed maximum vi-olence after the August 25 rally in Ahmedabad. A number of women were booked under dacoity and allied charges following the violence. The dacoity charge was later dropped by police. The rally start-ed at 5 pm from Nagal-pur Patiya, instead of the scheduled spot of Gopi Nala. The CM was joined by BJP MP from Mehsa-na Jayshree Patel, Guja-rat Health Minister Nitin

Patel and chairman of the Backward Classes De-velopment Corporation Jayantilal Barot. As soon as the rally, with Anan-diben waving the victory sign, crossed around 50 metres, a group of around 50-100 women joined the rally, clanking roll-ing pins with steel plates while shouting slogans against the CM and the BJP.

Gujarat Congress questions deletion of voters’ names

secretary Ahmed Patel, who is campaigning for the party in Gujarat, his native State. On Tuesday, a Congress delegation called on the SEC de-manding that no names be deleted from the list for the panchayats polls scheduled for November 29. “As per our assess-ment, close to 2.5 lakh names were deleted in six cities where the municipal election was held on Sun-day. This is a criminal act by the SEC at the behest of the government,” said Congress general sec-retary Nishit Vyas, who submitted a memorandum

to the Commission. How-ever, the SEC has blamed the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the voters for the removal and added that the elec-toral rolls were prepared based on the rolls pre-pared by the ECI for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. “It is true that more than one lakh names were re-moved from the list in Ahmedabad but the SEC had no role in either ad-dition or deletion of any name in the rolls because those were prepared by the ECI,” said State Elec-tion Commissioner Va-resh Sinha.
