I don’t hate my neigh-bour, I just don’t like him. He plays music too loud-ly and throws his rubbish into our side of the house. Besides, his window sill is covered with cigarette butts. Dissss-gusting. So I have come up with this idea inspired by what went on in Kerala House and the alacrity with which the cops responded to the ac-cusation that the canteen was serving beef from cow’s meat. You have a burglary you find the po-lice strolling up in their own sweet time. Some-body gets raped they hunt for a pen to take down the FIR. You get mugged they laugh and don’t come

Worth check-ing them out. Maybe the self-appointed guardians of my faith will fetch up and beat the guy to pulp. I can hear the sirens al-ready. At least the loud music will stop. Trick is not making the accusa-tion if its fish. Fish has a distinctive cooking smell. But everything else goes.

India’s dreaded gangster of yesteryears Chhota Rajan, who has been ar-rested by the Indonesian Police from Bali follow-ing a red corner notice by the Interpol, is wanted in as many as eight criminal cases in Gujarat, said in-formed sources. Two of the eight cases against Ra-jendra Sadashiv Nikalje alias Chhota Rajan who is also known as Nana in the underworld, are regis-tered with the Detection of Crime Branch police of Ahmedabad, said the sources, adding that the Gujarat Police have gal-vanized into action to put together details of the offences lodged against him. According to city police sources, Chhota Rajan and members of the Babbar Khalsa group, had allegedly demanded extortion money from for-mer Congress chief minis-

ter Amarsinh Chaudhary and Ahmedabad-based eye surgeon Amit Shah in 2000. However, they could not execute their plan following the ar-rest of 18 members of Rajan’s gang. In another case, the Karanj police in Ahmedabad had arrested a Mumbai-based medical practitioner Piyush Me-hta, who had sought the help of Chhota Rajan’s gang to extort Rs.2 crore from Shah following a le-gal dispute between them. Mehta was later handed

over to the Detection of Crime Branch in 2011. If a 2005 offence under sec-tion 387 of the Indian Pe-nal Code for threatening a person with life or griev-ous injury for purpose of extortion as well as Arms Act is pending against Rajana with the Ahmed-abad police, another FIR against his accomplice Dharmendra Punjabi for threatening a businessman Hansraj Grower has been hanging fire in textile and diamond city Surat since 1999, police sources said.

to launch publicity cam-paigns in the media on the harmful impact of fire-crackers during the festi-val season. The opposition to the ban has been quite stiff, especially in Tamil Nadu. While Arulmigu Sri Ayyappan Sangam, a reli-gious organisation based in

Sivakasi opposed the idea of the ban saying that any restriction on bursting fire-crackers on Diwali would affect the traditional and customary rights of Hin-dus, G Abirupen, leader of the Tamil Nadu Fireworks and Amorces Manufactur-ers Association (TANFA-

MA), a body opposed the idea of ban, challenged the very logic of ‘pollution’ it-self and the alleged ‘health impacts’ from firecrackers. Abirupen represents the Rs 6,000 crore worth Sivaka-si-based fireworks manu-facturing factories. He said the fireworks industry in Tirupati, the largest in the country with over 800 fire-works factories, also sup-ports over five lakh fami-lies. He denied reports that

children were employed in their factories and claimed that all employees get minimum wages with Employee State Insur-ance and Provident Fund benefits. As far as Abiru-pen and the industry are concerned, the arguments of environmentalists and anti-pollution activists who raised an alarm at the pollution from fireworks during festival days are unfair on several counts. If

firecrackers makes people sick, how clean are the city skies otherwise? If you go by the data of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), there is no major difference between the am-bient air pollution levels during average normal day and festival days. If you could check the same with local pollution monitors in other cities, for instance, pay Rs 30 to the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control

Board (TNPCB) and get the pollution data of a nor-mal day and Diwali day, you would see that there is not much difference.How safe are the crackers?

After the ban on Chi-nese-made firecrackers which contain the sub-stances of banned po-tassium chloride, local-ly-made fire crackers are less dangerous and being manufactured with al-lowed substances such as aluminium, barium and potassium nitrate. Unlike Chinese products, our firecrackers are not fric-tion sensitive too. More-over, bursting crackers or fireworks during fes-tival season are part of our culture that dates back to centuries. Only prolonged exposure to pollutants affect your health. Lakhs of people who live in our highly polluted cities are ex-posed to dangerous lev-els of pollution on a daily basis — the main reason for health problems is prolonged exposure.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYThe arrest of the gangster Chhota Rajan challenge

Extortion, drug trafficking, murder: Strange as it may sound, these are the least of Rajendra Nikhalje’s or “Chhota Rajan’s” crimes. He was much more, as a witness to a critical phase in the making of modern India, when criminality and power became inextri-cably entwined. Like all organised crime operations, the Mumbai syndicates provided services the public demanded, but the state denied — alcohol during prohibition, for example, or smuggled electronics when import duties were at 300 per cent. From the 1970s on, as the state system degraded, the cor-ruption of judicial and police institutions provided crime lords with new opportunities. They provided security, enforced contracts, resolved disputes and, over time, emerged as sources of finance. In return for impunity, they served corrupt business élites, bu-reaucrats and politicians. The syndicates weren’t en-emies of the state — they were its creatures. Nikhal-je himself, having apparently begun his career scalping movie tickets, graduated from bootlegging liquor to extortion, and eventually became Dawood Ibrahim’s key lieutenant in Mumbai. In 1989, he joined his boss in Dubai, positioning himself at the heart of the D-Company’s operations, before exiting following the 1993 Mumbai blasts. While India’s in-telligence services are believed to have allied with Nikhalje for years to wage war on the man suspected to have been behind the blasts, it is unlikely he can do much to help find Dawood. Dawood is known to be in Pakistan, sheltered by its grateful intelligence establishment. There’s little new light remaining to be shed on the 1993 bombings — which took place when Nikhalje was well entrenched in Dawood’s or-der, for all his subsequent efforts to legitimise him-self as a Hindu nationalist. Nikhalje’s nabbing may, at most, help resolve the question of how much he knew about the operation. There’s considerable spec-ulation about whether Nikhalje’s return to India is a surrender-in-disguise — an effort by an ageing crim-inal to seek a relatively secure retirement home — or a breakthrough by Australia’s police services. There are questions to be answered, too, about how Nikhalje evaded arrest for so long. In comparison with the big issues, though, these are trivial. The crime syndicates’ role in corrupting the republic was investigated by the N.N. Vohra Committee in the 1990s. Its appendices, believed to name top politicians, still remain secret. The present government’s test will be to ensure that the police investigation can wander where it wishes, returning with prosecutable cases.

India Test cricket team captain Virat Kohli’s re-cent weekend outing with actress, girlfriend Anush-ka Sharma and her father sparked off speculations of marriage in the near future. There were reports that the power couple were looking to take their relationship to the next level and were even on a house hunt in Mumbai. However, it looks like all these talks are nothing

but mere gossip. Flaying reports suggesting mar-riage is on the card for Anushka and Virat, the actress’ publicist in an email statement clarified: “There is no truth to the stories/rumours about Anushka Sharma’s im-pending wedding. Cur-rently she is busy and happy with her work commitments. She has always been open about her life and would ap-preciate it and request everyone to wait for her

to make announcements about her life instead of speculating.” Anushka and Virat started dating early last year and have been quite open about their relationship prefer-ring to wear their hearts on their sleeves unlike other discreet lovers of B-town. The actress is often seen cheering for her boyfriend at match-es while Virat too sends in his compliments after watching every release of Anushka.

The lawyer of Bolly-wood actor Salman Khan argued in the Bombay High Court on October 27 that the panchnama and site maps were fab-ricated by the police to falsely book the actor under the grave charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the 2002-hit-and-run case. The High Court is hearing an appeal filed

by Mr Khan who was awarded a five-year sen-tence on May 6 after a sessions court found him guilty of ramming his car into a shop in 2002, kill-ing one person and injur-ing four others sleeping on the pavement. “The panchnama and site maps are fabricated and cannot be relied upon. These were prepared to invoke section 304 II of IPC (culpable homicide)

and also to add the el-ement of ‘drunkenness and rashness’ to make the charges graver”, argued Mr Khan’s lawyer Amit Desai. “Not just this, the police and prosecut-ing agency had ignored the statement of Salman Khan’s family driver Ashok Singh, who has claimed that he was driv-ing the car on the ill-fated day when the mishap oc-curred,” Mr Desai added.

It features almost identical spec-ifications, except for network support. The Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pro, as per the FCC documents (via Lili-puting) runs MIUI 6 out-of-the-box.

India have many lessons to learn from their losses in both the Twenty20 and One-day series against South Africa. The most important among them is to learn how to oper-ate in different formats with multiple captains. Since their tour to Aus-tralia last year, India have had to contend with MS Dhoni’s retirement from Test cricket and the subsequent split captain-cy, where Dhoni led the limited-overs sides and Virat Kohli took charge in Tests. The triumphant South Africa side follow

And Thursday will be one more day like I have in the last 15 years of my life.” The Portuguese, who has seen speculation over his future build in recent weeks with each new setback on the pitch, lashed out at suggestions that his play-

ers were not behind him. “Do you think the players are not with me or didn’t give everything to win the game? It’s sad for the play-ers. It’s a lack of respect to the players, not to me,” he said. “For me it would be a fantastic situation if the players were against me, (because) I could say we didn’t have the results because the players were against me.” Mourinho said the performance had answered Chelsea’s doubt-ers and slammed the media for their criticism.

Ever since their launch in the year 2012, as many as 126 small firms have got themselves listed on the two exchanges. To-gether both the western states have 65 firms listed on these platforms. Maha-rashtra leads in terms of having the highest num-ber of listed SMEs with 41, while Gujarat has 24 firms. 25 companies are from Delhi. “Gujarat and Maharashtra have given

us overwhelming response since both the states have a huge industrial base and 31% of SMEs are concen-trated in these two states, apart from having a good understanding of capital markets and very well un-derstand the importance of listing,” said Ashishkumar Chauhan, managing direc-tor and CEO, BSE. As far as BSE SME Exchange is concerned, it has around 116 listed companies. Of this, 36 companies are from Maharashtra and 21 from Gujarat. “Around 21 companies have filed the prospectus for their IPOs. Out of these, 9 companies are from Maharashtra and 5 companies are from Gu-jarat,” added Chauhan. “We are working with more than 15 companies from Gujarat for bringing their IPOs.


In a setback to Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) convener Hardik Patel, the Gujarat High Court Tuesday refused

to quash a sedition case lodged against him by Surat police for his pur-ported suggestion to kill policemen. The court said while the Patidars were

free to seek reservation through peaceful, any attempt to incite people to resort to violence was an offence. It said prima facie there was a case of

Chirag Patel | Dhari

Dhari MLA Nalin Kota-diya on Tuesday demand-ed immediate release of Patidar quota stir leader Hardik Patel and warned that members of the com-munity will convert if “the Gujarat government, which claims to champion the rights of Hindus, fails to protect them from po-lice atrocities”. Kotadiya, with whom BJP claims to have “cut all ties”, once again asked the Patidars to vote against the party in local body elections. His statement came days after Patel families in Surat and Amreli district threatened to convert if the government does not concede the demand for OBC status and quo-ta benefits. “Leave the question of granting res-ervation to the Patidars, I have strong objection to cases filed by the Gu-jarat government and

They should be released immediate-ly and if they are not, the Patidar communi-ty will demonstrate for the Gujarat government as to what it can do in Gandhian ways. It will also teach a lesson to the government by voting against BJP in coming

elections,” Kotadiya said in a two-minute video that he shared on social media. The MLA, who is a Patidar, claimed the government has failed to protect rights of the Pati-dars. “If the Gujarat gov-ernment, which claims to champion the rights of Hindus fails to protect Hindus, if we find it dif-ficult live and do farming here, we shall not hesi-tate to convert in order to protect our interests, get

reservation and escape the atrocities that we are currently being subject-ed to. We are planning to tour entire Gujarat and will see to it that majority of the Patidars convert,” he said. Kotadiya was elected from Dhari in the 2012 Assembly elections on a ticket of Gujarat Parivartan Party. Howev-er, the GPP merged with BJP last year and Kotadi-ya became a BJP MLA. Meanwhile, reacting to some the Patel families’ threat to convert, Lead-er of Opposition in the Assembly Shankersinh Vaghela said conversion is not a solution to any problem. “One needs to represent before the state government, if one has any problem. It is the re-sponsibility of the state government to accept or reject the demand. But, threat of conversion can not solve the problem,” he said in Ahmedabad.

that it should be done. He asked us to give it in writ-ing. We have submitted our letter in this regard,” Bal Kumar Patel said. The move, if implement-ed, is expected to affect BJP, which highlights Patel as an icon and even undertook a campaign to construct his statue (Stat-ue of Unity) in Gujarat —- a project that was launched when Narendra Modi was the chief min-ister of the state. “We are

not bothered about BJP’s stand, we have been de-manding this for quite some time,” Bal Kumar Patel said. The Kurmi OBC community in UP, who constitute nearly seven per cent of popula-tion, regard Sardar Patel as their icon. Akhilesh has already declared six holidays since after he assumed power in 2012. He has declared a holiday on December 6, the death anniversary of Bhim Rao

Ambedkar, which was seen as an attempt to appease Dalits. He also declared holiday on the birth anniversary of for-mer PM Chandrashekhar (April 17), Maharishi Kashyap and Maharshi Nishadraj Jayanti (April 5), Hazrat Ajmeri Gar-ib Nawaj Urs (April 26), socialist leader and for-mer Bihar CM Karpoori Thakur birth anniversary (June 24) and Maharana Pratap Jayanti (May 9).

sedition against Hardik. On the other hand, the single bench of Justice J B Pardiwala set aside charges under Section 153 A (spreading hatred between communities) of the IPC against Hardik. It noted that there must be at least two or more com-munities for applying this section. The High Court bench pronounced the order on a plea moved by the 22-year-old Pa-tidar leader contending that his suggestion to “kill four-five policemen instead of committing suicide” to a Surat-based

PAAS member Vipul Desai on October 3 does not amount to sedition. Desai had announced to commit suicide in sup-port of the demand for OBC status and quota benefits to the Patidars. The court, however, held that “prima facie a case is made out against the petitioner and the in-vestigation is at an early stage which needs to be investigated further”. It said: “The demand for reservation for the mem-bers of the Patidar Patel community by itself is not an offence.
