NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES
The ongoing controversy over the suspension of IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal by the Uttar Pradesh government continues to get front page attention in most newspapewrs. Highlighting Congress President Sonia Gandhi's letter to the Prime Minister, the Hindu writes "Sonia asks PM to intervene on IAS officer but Centre's hands tied". Meanwhile, the Asian Age cites sources to report that Ms Nagpal told the UP Chief Secretary in a meeting that she hadn't ordered the demolition of the wall of a mosque.
Protests related to statehood demands in different parts of the country are noticed in all the papers. "At a standstill: Darjeeling comes to a halt as GJM launches fresh stir for Gorkhaland" reports the Hindustan Times. Highlighting the demand for a separate Karbi-Anglong state in Assam, the Times of India writes "Karbi violence enters fourth day: Activists defy curfew, attack government offices, remove rail tracks".
The launch of the newly formed Aam Aadmi Party's election symbol, the broom, is widely noticed. The Tribune quotes party leader Arvind Kejriwal as saying "Broom launched to cleanse politics".
The Times of India, in its front page lead, says that a RTI application has revealed that millions of currency notes worth hundreds of crores of rupees that have not been printed have made it to the RBI vaults.
An unseemly controversy seems to have erupted over Kashmiri cricketer Parvez Rasool not being given a chance to play in the 5 match ODI cricket series in Zimbabwe. Highlighting Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's reaction, the Tribune reports "Parvez Rasool sidelined in Zimbabwe, Omar Abdullah fumes on Twitter".
