BENGALURU: In a major faux pas,
Karnataka governor Vajubhai Vala
walked off the stage when the
national anthem was being played at
the swearing-in of a Karnataka High
Court judge at Raj Bhavan on
Tuesday.
As per government protocol,
whenever the national anthem is
sung or played, the audience shall
stand to attention.
Vala later said it was unintentional
and he stopped as soon as he
realized the Anthem was playing.
The governor was present when
Justice Raghavendra Singh Chauhan,
transferred to the Karnataka High
Court from Rajasthan, was
administered the oath of office.
The oath-taking was followed by the
playing of the Anthem on the public
address system. Vala, who appeared
to be in a pensive mood, headed
towards the exit as everyone stood in
attention. He responded to the
greetings of some of those who
arrived as he walked out.

NEW DELHI: Amid the ongoing
turmoil in the AAP, Maharashtra AAP
leader Anjali Damania on Wednesday
accused Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal of

NEW DELHI: Congress leaders on

against former Prime Minister

case.
Congress workers, lead by Rita
Bahuguna Joshi, on Thursday

Express at Lucknow's Charbagh

NEW DELHI: In a major boost for
India in the Indian Ocean, the
government has bagged
''infrastructure development rights''
for two islands in the region -
Agalega from Mauritius and
Assumption from Seychelles - during
PM Narendra Modi's ocean outreach
comprising visits to Mauritius,
Seychelles and Sri Lanka.
New Delhi marked its Indian Ocean
presence with Modi offering to set
up joint working groups with the two
blue economies in the region to
harness potential for economic
cooperation. The understanding to
allow India to develop these islands
is of huge strategic significance for
India which is widely seen as having
lost out to China in having a
purposeful engagement with the
littoral states despite its own central
location.
