There is a rule which states that -no aircraft shall be towed by an aircraft. Does it mean that in India you can't launch a glider by towing it with a powered aircraft?

CIVIL AVIATION REQUIREMENTS
SECTION 9 – AIR SPACE AND
AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
SERIES 'C' PART I
Rules of the Air

3.1.5 Towing

No aircraft shall be towed by an aircraft. Objects other than an aircraft shall
be towed by an aircraft, in accordance with requirements prescribed by the
Director General and as indicated by relevant information, advise and/or
clearance from the appropriate Air traffic services units.
Then it contradicts the above restriction:
3.2.2.3 Converging. When two aircraft are conver ging at approximately the
same level, the aircraft that has t he other on its right shall give way,
except as follows:
d) power-driven aircraft shall give way to aircraft which are seen to
be towing other aircraft
or objects.
