NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES
The controversy over Defence Minister A K Antony's statement in Parliament regarding the killing of five soldiers along the Line of Control or LOC in Jammu and Kashmir dominates the front pages of all the papers. "Furore in Parliament over Antony's 'clean chit' to Pak on LOC killings" reports the Tribune. The Hindustan Times observes "Congress admits to government 'error', says Pak army role cant be denied". The Times of India writes "Under fire, Antony to make fresh statement in Parliament today".
The decision of the Lokayukta of Gujarat, Retired Justice R A Mehta to not assume office is highlighted on the front pages of many dailies. "Gujarat Lokayukta opts out, says Modi government doesnt trust him" reports the Hindustan Times.
The Supreme Court's observations on the taped conversations of corporate lobbyist Nira Radia in the 2G spectrum scam case are keenly noticed by most papers. The Pioneer reports the apex court as saying "Radia tapes more than just 2G, point to middlemen in every field". The Mail Today writes "SC says government departments full of middlemen".
In a special front page story captioned "No surrogacy for foreigners: tough new rules planned", the Indian Express reports that the Directorate General of Health Services has proposed that the option of surrogacy should be available only to married, infertile couples of Indian origin".
And finally, an 'elephantine memory' may no longer be the memory benchmark in the English language. The Hindustan Times writes that new research indicates that Dolphins can remember the distinctive whistle of another dolphin they haven't seen in two decades. Now...would that make for a 'dolphinian memory?"
