A woman wearing an ex-plosive suicide vest blew herself up Wednesday as heavily armed police tried to storm a suburban Paris apartment where the suspected master-mind of last week’s gun and bomb rampage was believed to be holed up, police said. They said one man was also killed and seven people arrest-ed in the standoff, which began before dawn and continued more than six hours later, when a loud bang rang out around the streets near the apartment building. Police said one person was thought to be still inside the apart-

ment, but it wasn’t clear who. A senior police of-ficial said he believed Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian Islamic State militant, was inside the apartment in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis with five other heavily armed people when the raid started. The official, who was not authorized to be publicly named ac-cording to police rules but is informed routinely about the operation, said scores of police stormed the building and were met with unexpectedly violent resistance.

Issuing summons to Headley, the court directed that he be produced via video-con-ferencing on December 10. The sessions court had earlier this month reserved its order on the Mumbai Police’s plea.

The November 13 Paris terror attack by Islamic State, popularly known as ISIS militants killing 129 people, has once again brought to light the threat ISIS poses. The barbaric act resulted in international outrage with people condemning the attacks on innocents. Security was beefed up in almost every country to avert terror attacks of the ISIS. Within few years of its inception ISIS suc-

ceeded in spreading its fear among people with its beheading and other brutal killing methods. Besides this, ISIS was able to reach and recruit people of outside Iraq and Syria. As far as India in concerned, no major terror attack took place in the country so far. But India seems no more safe from the threat of ISIS. Many Muslim youth, mainly radicalised on so-cial media, tried to join the terror outfit, is raising serious concerns.

cue teams in the affected areas. The chief minister also said that two heli-copters of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have arrived from Chennai to rescue people stranded in flooded areas of worst-hit Nellore and Chittoor districts, the officials added. Accord-ing to preliminary esti-mates, at least 500km of road network has been damaged in this wave of floods. Several trains have either been cancelled or diverted due to flooding of tracks. The breach in the vital Chennai-Kolkata

highway occurred late on Tuesday at Manubolu in Nellore district and of-ficials said it could take days before the road link was restored. The breach also left hundreds of ve-hicles and people stranded on the highway. While the river Swarnamukhi was flowing above dangerous levels along its course, the Telegu Ganga canal has breached its embankment at several places, the offi-cials added. Hundreds of people have been evacu-ated to relief camps from around a dozen flood af-fected villages.

David Coleman Headley to be made an accused in 26/11 terror attacks case

told the sessions court that Headley had not been tried under Indian law for 26/11 conspira-cy. “An American court is not competent to try offences under Indian Penal Code. The charges for which Headley has been convicted by the US court and the charges we are pursuing against him are entirely different,”

said Special Public Pros-ecutor Ujjwal Nikam had said. The judge had then said that the judgement of a foreign court only has “persuasive value” and it cannot be relied upon as evidence. “He should have been made a wanted accused. You are coming with evidence collected by others,” he added. The judge had

also sought to know why the Mumbai Police did not launch an investiga-tion after the US took Headley’s custody. Ear-lier, the Mumbai Police had moved an applica-tion before the sessions court seeking issuance of Letter of Request (LR) against Headley for his production through video conference in connection with the 26/11 case. The latest application said that Headley deserves to be tried by the Mumbai court along with Jundal as both are conspirators and abettors. Headley, accused of conducting a recce of targets before the Mumbai terror at-tack, was sentenced to 35 years’ imprisonment by a court in the USA af-ter he entered into a plea bargaining agreement with the US government.

French President Fran-cois Hollande held an emergency meeting with senior ministers at the Elysee Palace to monitor the raid. Belgian jihadist Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected Paris at-tacks mastermind, may have committed suicide during pre-dawn raids on

Wednesday by French police at a suburban Paris apartment, accord-ing to French Ambas-saador to India Fran-cois Richier. Abaaoud, the 28-year-old Islam-ic State militant from Brussels of Moroccan origin, was believed to be inside the apartment in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis with five

other heavily armed people when the raids started, according to a French police official. The Ambassador was asked whether Abaaoud was arrested or killed during the seven-hour raids in the massive hunt for the suspected mastermind of the gun and bomb rampage last Friday in which at least

129 people were killed. “I have information which leads us to sus-pect that he committed suicide. I have nothing, no particular documents to say that. That is the first indication we have received,” Richier said. “We are waiting for fi-nal confirmation that Abdelhamid Abaaoud is dead,” he said.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWith five states polling soon, the great Indian election is set to

continue without recessTo nobody’s surprise, the BJP’s resounding rout in the Bihar Assembly elections has led to deafening noise across the country. Those that the Narendra Modi wave had crushed 18 months ago are jumping with joy, and loudly mocking the prime minister and his right-hand man and party president, Amit Shah. Ironically, the furore within the ruling party that has often claimed to be a “party with a difference” is even more booming. So much so that four veterans, including two margdarshaks (guides to the right path), L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, have charged the BJP’s leadership with having “emascu-lated” the party. All this, however, is a current issue of the first order and could lead to inner-party war-fare after Modi’s return from England and Turkey.Therefore, it should normally have no place in this column devoted to remembrance of things past. But even in the tremendous tumult over the drubbing received by Modi and Shah, some barely audible voices have raised a pertinent concern that cannot be brushed away with a flippant wave of the hand. The complaint is that, at any given time, some state or the other is having an election, which impedes both governance and policymaking, not only in the state concerned, but countrywide. For this, there are two main reasons. First, as soon as the model code of conduct comes into force, no matter which corner of the country is going to the polls, even the Union government cannot announce any new policy. Second, and more important, the battle of the bal-lot tends to be just short of an actual combat. Every party, whether in power or in search of it, mobilises all its resources, human and financial. Nothing could have demonstrated this better than Bihar, where the contest was between PM Modi and the state chief minister, Nitish Kumar. Modi addressed as many as 26 rallies during the five phases of voting. The num-ber of Central ministers deployed to assist him was no fewer than 30. Eleven of them stayed in various parts of the state throughout the election campaign. How much work would have been done in the South and North Blocks, and countless bhavans housing the government in New Delhi, during this protracted period? It is in this context that those worried about the duration of the Bihar elections are shaken, be-cause in the next 18 months or so, a large number of states, from Assam to Kerala, including such large states as West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and even Uttar Pradesh, will be electing their assemblies.

The 27-year-old British superstar, who is a week away from the re-lease of her highly antici-pated album 25, says she struggles with her share of insecurities, “I do have body image problems, for sure, but I don’t let them rule my life at all,” the mother of three-year-old baby Angelo told Siri-usXM’s The Spectrum. “And there’s bigger is-sues going on in the world than how I might feel

Gujarat high court has re-fused to stop a departmen-tal inquiry against the for-mer registrar of the city’s metropolitan court with regard to a sexual harass-ment complaint filed in 2010 by a female employ-ee. A high court official who was appointed as met-ro court registrar, S M Jani was accused of sexual ha-rassment by a fellow staff member. The chief metro-politan magistrate appoint-ed a fivemember complaint committee, which con-ducted a preliminary inqui-ry and exonerated him by 3 against 2 votes.The two female members of the committee held him guilty. After this inquiry, the chief metropolitan magistrate wrote to the HC, proposing punishment for the officer by demoting him from the post of registrar to assistant superintendent. The CMM

Even the regis-trar deposed before the in-quiry officer and levelled accusations against two fe-male members of the com-plaint committee. This led the probe panel to summon both the members, who initially refused to depose on the ground that they were members in the pre-liminary inquiry and hence cannot become witnesses. However, they changed their stand and one of them deposed in 2015. It was at this stage that Jani filed a petition in the HC and opposed the departmental inquiry on the grounds that it was violative of Gujarat Civil Services (Discipline & Appeal) Rules.

Top party leaders, including Chief Minister Anan-diben Patel, are facing protests by Patels during rallies in various parts of the State. On Tuesday, Ms. Patel faced hun-dreds of men and women chanting Jay Sardar, Jay Patidar during a road-show at Naroda, a Pa-tel-dominated locality, in north Ahmedabad. “The BJP must explain why no reservation was given to the Patidars and why no action was taken against the policemen who committed atrocities on us,” asked Paresh Patel, 34, part of a protesting crowd. Ms. Patel faced

a similar protest by Pa-tel youths in Bhavnagar district on Monday when she addressed a rally. Similarly, BJP national vice-president and for-mer Gujarat party presi-dent Purushottam Rupala faced protests by Patidar women in north Guja-rat. Hundreds of women gathered near the venue of Mr. Rupala’s rally in Becharaji town, chanting

anti-BJP slogans. “The BJP government has re-fused to give us quota benefits; so we are ask-ing the BJP leaders to not seek our votes,” Man-guben Patel of the town said. In Surat, BJP lead-ers had to face such pro-tests by Patidars who are on the warpath against the State government. Besides the quota issue, the Patidars are appar-

ently angry with the way the State government slapped sedition cases on Hardik Patel and his aides, who were spear-heading a State-wide ag-itation demanding OBC status for the community. In Sabarkantha district, 2,000 Patidar members ditched BJP and joined hands with the Congress in the presence of former Union Minister Shankar-sinh Vaghela, who had lost the parliamentary polls from Sabarkantha in 2014. “People are dis-illusioned with the BJP and are looking for a change starting with the local elections in Guja-rat,” Mr. Vaghela, who is also Leader of the Oppo-sition in the State Assem-bly, said while inducting the Patidar members into his party.

Congress party that did so much injustice with him.” Addressing public gatherings to conclude his back-to-back day-long road shows in the East wards of Ahmed-abad Tuesday, Rawal said that the BJP’s defeat in Bihar elections will not affect its victory in local body elections in Gujarat. “Gujaratis are well aware about development. Bi-har defeat will have no impact here. We should also understand that in Bihar’s electoral results,

it is Lalu Prasad Yadav who won more seats than Nitish Kumar. Let us give a strong answer to Congress by making BJP win with a huge mar-gin,” he added. Starting from Shahpur ward in the morning, Rawal trav-elled in an open jeep, along with BJP ward candidates, with his cav-alcade across narrow lanes of the walled city area. Confident of the BJP winning in the Mus-lim-dominated Congress stronghold Gomtipur

ward, Rawal said, “The BJP will surely register a victory from this ward as well.” Asked about the ongoing Patidar agi-tation and the open pro-tests against the BJP, he said, “Patidars should understand that Con-gress was never and will never be among its own people.” He campaigned in various Eastern wards, including Shah-pur, Gomtipur, Rajpur, Ramol-Hathijan and concluded with a public gathering at Jantanagar.

Hardik Patel to address Kisan Mahapanchayat in Varanasi

Four vehicles torched, road blocked to protest attack on Sarpanch

event. ABPNS national executive member Sushil Kashyap claimed that he met Bihar Chief Minis-ter Nitish Kumar in Pat-na last week and urged him to address the Ma-hapanchyayat along with Hardik. The party has begun the preparations and shortlisted two prob-able sites, said Kashyap, who belongs to Varanasi. Kashyap admitted that Varanasi was chosen for the Mahapanchayat be-cause it is the Lok Sabha constituency of Prime Minister and the best suit-

able place to target him and give message to the central government on farmers’ issues. “We have invited Nitish ji because he challenged Modi’s Gu-jarat model and defeated BJP with his own devel-opment model in Bihar Assembly polls. Hardik ji will tell the masses that Gujarat was developed by Patidars but they were not given credit. Instead, Modi highlighted Gujarat development model for political gains in the Lok Sabha polls,” claimed Kashyap.
