NEWSPAPER HEADLINES
The reaction of many Muslim organizations led by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board to the Law Commission's questionnaire on a Uniform Civil Code dominates the front pages. The Times of India quotes many of these organizations as saying "Civil Code survey is a war on religious rights". Highlighting the comments of some Muslim women activists, the Mail Today states "Muslim women say personal law board just another NGO and not guardian of community".
Ahead of the BRICS summit that begins tomorrow in Goa, the press carries stories on some important issues related to the event. The Indian Express writes "NSA to BRICS counterparts : Step up terror fight, put in place legal regime". The Hindustan Times observes "India-Russia to ink S-400 anti-missile defence deal in Goa".
Pakistan's admission that an Indian soldier who had inadvertently crossed the Line of Control on September 29th is indeed in its custody is prominently noticed in the press. The Pioneer writes "Pakistan's 13 day denial about Indian soldier's custody ends". Meanwhile, the Times of India highlights a harsh message by the US to Pakistan as it reports "US asks Pak to act avowed against terrorist Saeed".
There are a couple of stories in the press about some health indicators in the country. The Tribune quotes the World Health Organization as saying "India reports 26% of global TB deaths". Citing statistics released by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the Indian Express writes "Leprosy drive spots 20,000 'hidden' cases".
Guess who the United Nations has picked as an ambassador for the empowerment of women and girls. The Hindu reports "UN picks comic superhero Wonder Woman for mascot".
And finally.... pictures of American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan are splashed across the front pages of most papers. And the reason is summed up by the Tribune as it writes "A first : Bob Dylan, a songwriter, gets Literature Nobel".
