 India
not to insist on veto power
Moscow, May 8
Even as Russia has affirmed its
support to India in an expanded United Nations Security Council at a
‘very high level’, India is not holding on to a veto and ‘if there
is no veto at all, New Delhi will be happy with that as well’.

CEC
debunks charges
But Saptharishi stands by his
letter
New Delhi, May 8
The Chhapra poll countermanding issue
turned murky today with the Election Commission terming the allegation as
“scurrilous and baseless”, saying that it was below its dignity to
respond to an allegation by Railway Minister Lalu Prasad that it had
forced the countermanding of the parliamentary election in Bihar’s
Chhapra constituency while senior bureaucrat L.V. Saptharishi, who was a
special election observer, alleged the two Election Commissioners, Mr B.B.
Tandon and Mr N. Gopalaswamy, had acted with a “casteist bias”.
