PTI tated Opposition members in the Lok Sabha demanded on Friday that the gov- ernment put on the hold its decision to withdraw Haj subsidy to income tax pay- ees this year. They said the government’s decision, although taken at the cabinet level in September, was ‘‘unfair and impractica- ble’’ and had been taken without consult- ing the Central Haj Committee or any of the state-level committees. The new rule will divide Haj-going families, the mem- bers said. A person who pays income tax needs to file an affidavit duly signed by a notary public and could take the flight only from Delhi. The time on hand was too short to col- lect thousands of affidavits needed for the purpose, M O H Farooq (Congress), a member of the Central Haj Committee appointed by the Lok Sabha Speaker, said. Vijay Kumar Malhotra (BJP) coun- tered it by saying that the government had already spent Rs 175 crore for the Haj. His suggestion that the demand was unjustified because a high court in Pak- istan had declared Haj subsidy as ‘‘un-Is- lamic’’, angered the members further. Malhotra’s remark that ‘‘no commu- nist should seek Haj subsidy’’ had Han- nan Mollah (CPM) shouting back at him repeatedly. Deputy Congress leader Shivraj Patil sought a thorough discussion on the is- sue and pointed out that the government had spent Rs 100 crore for the Kumbh Mela in Nashik. Withdrawal of subsidy to the smaller I-T payers was unfair, he said. On behalf of the government, min- ister of state Santosh Kumar Gangwar assured the House that he will convey the members’ feelings to the minister con- cerned (Shahnawaz Hussain). What was meant to be a short mention by E Ahamed (Muslim League) turned into a prolonged and noisy protest by sev- eral Muslim members, supported by the RJD and the Samajwadi Party. Oil workers go on strike on Dec 16 TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: A joint statement issued by all central trade union organisa- tions here on Thursday said workers of the petroleum sector (ONGC, IOC, HPCL, BPCL, Oil India and IBP) will go on a one-day nationwide strike on December 16. ‘‘This is for the first time that a to- ken strike is being organised jointly by all trade unions, including those which owe allegiance to the Sangh Parivar, in order to express our protest against privatisation of prof- itable public sector undertakings in the petroleum sector,’’ said Gurudas Dasgupta, general secretary of the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC). He added that workers of the oil PSUs have forged ‘‘complete and to- tal unity’’ under the banner of the ‘‘National United Forum Against Privatisation of Oil PSUs’’ irrespec- tive of their affiliations to defeat the government’s sell-off policy. He also opposed the proposal to partially disinvest the government’s stake in IOC and ONGC and said: ‘‘This move will eventually pave the way for their privatisation. This pro- posal is neither an act of economic prudence nor in national interest.’’

Mirwaiz not well, so talks with Hurriyat may take time By Bisheshwar Mishra TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Talks be- tween the Centre and the Hurriyat Conference may be delayed on account of the serious ailment of its senior leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq. The Mir- waiz is suffering from a serious throat ailment and is unable to talk. The 25-year-old Mir- waiz was admitted to Ba- tra Hospital in Delhi a few days ago and he under- went a throat operation on Thursday afternoon. He is likely to remain at the hospital for a few days, sources in the Hur- riyat said. The Centre-Hurriyat talks were scheduled for December-end. But now the earliest possible date appears to be some time in January, highly placed sources in the govern- ment said. They said that till now, the government has neither issued a for- mal invitation to the Hur- riyat leaders nor set up the committee which will lead the talks. What is clear is that the govern- ment side will be led by Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani. The Mirwaiz accompa- nied by former Hurriyat chairman Abdul Gani Bhatt had arrived in the capital early this week to meet diplomats of the Eu- ropean Union. These diplomats, from France, Germany and UK, among others, have been playing an informal role in trying to resolve the Kashmir imbroglio. Hurriyat sources say that the first issue that may crop up whenever the talks are held would be about the ‘‘confiscated’’ passports of the Mirwaiz as well as some of its oth- er leaders like Bhatt and Yasin Malik. The Hurriy- at leaders may also ask the Centre to give them permission to go to Pak- istan to consult Kash- miris living there as well as take the views of some militant organisations, including the Hizbul Mu- jahiddin led by Syed Salahuddin. Six guards of Farooq hurt in accident Jammu: Six security guards of former Jammu and Kashmir chief minis- ter Farooq Abdullah were injured when an escort vehicle of his cavalcade rammed into an Army water tanker on Jammu- Pathankote Highway, sources said on Friday. The accident occured at Dayalachak on Thursday night when Abdullah was returning to Jammu from Kathua district. Four National Security Guards were among those injured. The injured have been identified as Kuldeep Sharma, Mukesh Sharma, Anil Kumar, Manoj, Mukesh and driv- er Chotu. The condition of Kuldeep and Mukesh Sharma is reported to be critical. Also on Thursday, an Army captain and a jawan were injured in an explo- sion during a de-mining operation in Gulabgarh area near the Indo-Pak border, sources said on Friday. Captain S Bumea lost a leg, while sepoy Sant sus- tained head injuries. Meanwhile at Srinagar, two militants were killed in an on-going encounter with the security forces in Anantnag. PTI

The Why man study is to be published in the January 2 issue of AIDS. ANI is not a chimpanzee By Nicholas Wade New York: By comparing the human genome with that of chimpanzees, peo- ple’s closest living rela- tive, scientists have iden- tified a partial list of the genes that make people human. They include genes for hearing and speech, genes that wire the devel- oping brain, genes for de- tecting odours and genes that shape bone struc- ture. The comparison, re- ported on Thursday in Science, was undertaken by Dr Michele Cargill and colleagues at Celera Diag- nostics in Alameda, Cali- fornia who decoded most of the genes in the chimp’s genome, and Dr Andrew G Clark and col- leagues at Cornell, who made the analysis. Humans and chimps shared a joint ancestor as recently as five million years ago. Biologists have long supposed that if they could identify the genes that changed in the evolu- tionary lineage leading from the joint ancestor to people, they would under- stand the genetic basis of how people differ from chimps and, hence, the essence of what makes humans human. Because the sequence of DNA units in the two genomes is 98.8 per cent identical, it seemed that just a handful of genes might define the essence of humanity. The project received a lift two years ago when a large London family with barely intelligible speech was found to have muta- tions in a gene called FOXP2. Chimpanzees also have a FOXP2 gene, but it is significantly different. The human version shows signs of accelerat- ed evolutionary change in the last 100,000 years, suggesting that the gene acquired a new function that helped confer the gift of speech. But the process of transforming the joint human-chimp ancestor, who was probably a very chimpanzee-like crea- ture, into a human seems much more compli- cated in light of the new analysis.

TOI overtakes HT in Delhi: The Times of India has overtaken Hindustan Times in Delhi, according to the Na- tional Readership Survey (NRS) for 2003 to be released at the end of the month. Earlier another agency, IRS, had said that TOI had gone ahead of Hindustan Times in Delhi but Hindustan Times had argued that the IRS results were flawed. Many adver- tising agencies trust IRS but NRS has greater reach. Hindustan Times has been claiming a higher readership in Delhi for decades but now not only IRS but also NRS shows The Times of India to be ahead. The NRS 2003 data were due to be published in September but have been delayed due to the pressure to check them.

AP Yi has Karan in a tizzy TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: There was a cat show on at the DLTA on Friday. On adjoining courts, the boys’ and girls’ doubles finals of the Asian junior tennis champi- onships presented two strik- ingly different specimens of the feline fraternity. If one — mane streaked like a prowler’s — was all grace and lazy fi- nesse, the other was the alley cat, all snarl and scream. Chun-Huan Yi of Chinese Taipei is 16, wears a golden brown streak in the middle of his head. He plays his tennis as if the court is the last place he’d want to be, and then de- cides that there is no else place he could go to. Isha Lakhani looks like she’d never leave the white rectangle. It is her lair. Her neck muscles taut, her de- meanour all intense. She hollered, she shouted, pumped her fist each time she found a winner — and she found many alongwith Chinese Taipei’s Yung-Jan Chan against the Bhambri sisters, Ankita and Sanaa to win 7-5, 0-6, 6-1. On the adjoining court, where Yi would smile, joke and lazily ready himself for the next point. Then, he would invariably come up with an astounding shot. His on-court happiness was in total con- trast to the stiffness the Indi- ans presented throughout de- spite winning 6-2, 5-7, 7-5. Other Results: Boys singles: semifinals: Chun- Huan Yi beat Karan Rastogi 7-6 (8), 7-5; Arun Prakash Rajagopalan beat Somdev Verman 6-4, 6-4.
