We have two stories on the front page of The Fiji Times for Tuesday, November 15.

In the second story, a provisional candidate takes a swipe at the Attorney-General.

Log onto www.fijitimes.com for the latest updates and videos from around the country. You can watch The Lens@177 for the full interview with Mr Khan on Tuesday at 7pm, on the website, Youtube or on the Fiji Times Facebook page.
