"Like A Magician, PM Modi Tries To Divert Attention": Rahul Gandhi

"Like A Magician, PM Modi Tries To Divert Attention": Rahul Gandhi

NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES
Voting for the first phase of assembly elections in Gujarat and the Delhi Government canceling the license of Max Hospital in Shalimar Bagh dominate front page newspaper headlines today.
"Half Gujarat decides today" is the lead headline in the Indian Express. Describing the Prime Minister's poll pitch, the Hindustan Times writes "Aiyar gave my 'supari' in Pakistan says Modi". The Pioneer reports "Don't insult PM, Rahul tells cadre".
The alleged medical negligence by Max Hospital in Delhi's Shalimar Bagh for erroneously declaring a 22-week old premature baby dead gets widely reported. "Baby's death, EWS gaps, dengue: Delhi Govt scraps Max Hospital's license" headlines the Indian Express. The Times of India also gives Max hospital's version  "Hospital punished for individual's error". Writing on the same, the DNA says "Fate of patients, staff hangs in the balance".
The Hindu, in a top headline, observes "India gets admission into Wassenar Arrangement". The paper highlights that this will boost New Delhi's chances of joining the Nuclear Suppliers Group.
Reporting on a significant step by Pakistan, promptly welcomed by India, the Statesman observes "Pak allows Jadhav to meet mother, wife on 25 Dec". The Hindu states "Indian official also permitted to travel with them, as requested by New Delhi".
Another story prominently covered across newspapers is that of the government's proposal to take over troubled real estate firm Unitech. "Govt takes over management of Unitech in "public interest'" headlines the Times of India. The paper adds " Govt will appoint 10 new directors by December 20".
Most papers also take note of the Supreme Court's observation on the gender question in the laws on adultery. The top headline in the Asian Age reads "SC will re-examine validity of 157 year old Adultery law". The Tribune describes it as "Why penalise only men for adultery: Plea in SC".
And finally, The Times of India quotes an interesting revelation from a British study - "For Youth, print trumps web news".  The paper says 'millennials spend 65% of news-reading time on reading the print editions'.
