The Indian Express reckons that Congress extracted mileage from the 7-minute-event in the story captioned - "Gandhis get bail, Congress a handle". "Cong projects routine bail as a win for Gandhi, tears into PM" is the Times of India headline. The Pioneer quotes the BJP as saying "Accused mustn't act like freedom fighters".
The Sunday Tribune reports that the Pravasi Divas - one of the pet projects of the government that was scheduled to be held in January next year - stands cancelled. Quoting sources, the paper adds that external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj was extremely unhappy with the preparations.
The Financial Express lead story quotes the Finance Minister as saying that the GST was unlikely to get passed in the current session of Parliament as a delayed GST is better than a flawed GST. However the government is all set to introduce the insolvency and bankruptcy Bill in this session, the paper adds.
Another Financial Express front page story captioned "Lingering Layoffs" raises concerns about large scale layoffs of staffers of startups, and says that according to a survey, 3270 employees lost their jobs in start ups in the last six months. The Economic Times also has a similar story captioned "Living with pink", which highlights that sackings are an inevitable part of start ups.
