MP Ajay Chautala asked to quit Chandigarh, October 11 In a statement here today, Mr Krishna Murti Hooda, HPCC spokesperson, said that a Metropolitan Magistrate in Delhi’s Tees Hajari court had imposed a fine on Mr Chautala for running a hotel in Delhi without licence. Mr Chautala, son of Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, and himself an MP from Bhiwani, had been ordered by the court to undergo imprisonment for two days in case he failed to pay up the fine. The statement by the Congress party said that Mr Ajay Chautala was known for talking about democracy and rule of law, and added that if he really respected law, he must now quit his seat in Parliament. Mr Hooda said that Mr Bhajan Lal, chief of the HPCC, had been addressing a series of public meetings to expose the wrongdoings of the Chautala-led government of Haryana. Tomorrow, a meeting was being organised at Panchkula, the constituency Mr Bhajan Lal’s MLA son, Mr Chandra Mohan, which would conclusively prove that Congress was the most popular party in Haryana. The Congress spokesman also alleged that Mr Om Prakash Chautala was squandering cash from Haryana’s coffer in Rajasthan and Delhi where the INLD wanted to contest the Assembly elections. But, like it happened in Uttar Pradesh, the INLD would be routed in these two states as well, he said. |

He alleged that the Chautala government had failed to take action in the murder cases of journalists Ram Chander Chatarpati and Parmanand Goyal. Criticising the registration of criminal cases against journalists, he alleged that it was an attempt to gag the press in the state. |

Bhajan
earns 3 non-Jat MLAs’ displeasure Chandigarh, October 11 For instance, Mr Raghu Yadav, a former MLA, who is trying to stage a comeback to his old constituency at Rewari, is reportedly enjoying the blessings of the PCC chief. Mr Raghu Yadav and others recently organised a function in memory of Rao Tula Ram at Rewari on the occasion of Haryana Martyrs’ Day on September 23. The function was attended by two pro-Bhajan Lal Congress legislators, including Ms Anita Yadav, chief of the state Mahila Congress. Mr Ajay Singh Yadav, Deputy Leader of the Congress in the assembly, who currently represents Rewari, was cut up by the PCC chief’s attitude for obvious reasons and stayed away from the function. Similarly, Mr Bhajan Lal is trying to prop up a woman at Panipat, the constituency of Mr Balbir Pal Shah, said a Congress MLA on condition of anonymity. In the constituency of Mr Lachman Dass Arora, the PCC chief is reportedly trying to promote a close relative of Mr Arora in his place. “Mr Bhajan Lal is feeling insecure. He does not want any
non-Jat leader to grow in Haryana”, the Congress legislator asserted. Party sources pointed out that Mr Chiranji Lal Sharma, a prominent Brahmin leader of the Congress and former MP; Mr Harpal Singh, a representative of the Punjabi community; and Ms Selja, a former union minister, were also against Mr Bhajan Lal. After Mr Chiranji Lal Sharma fell out with Mr Bhajan Lal, the latter inducted Mr Umaid Singh, husband of late bandit queen Phoolan Devi, in to the Congress to prop him up against Mr Sharma at Karnal. Though, he is not a Brahmin, Mr Umaid Singh is a member of a caste with strong influence in the Karnal Lok Sabha constituency. Meanwhile, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Leader of the Opposition in Haryana, is trying to take advantage of the dissidence against Mr Bhajan Lal for dislodging him from the post of PCC President. |

PM, Advani to visit Panipat Panipat, October 11 While Mr Vajpayee will visit the IOC-run Panipat Refinery Complex to lay the foundation stone for the second phase of the twin projects for setting up the world’s largest
petro-chemical complex and doubling the refinery capacity on October 18, the Deputy Prime Minister and other party leaders will address a state-level rally as part of the ongoing “jan jagran yatra” on October 14. With the BJP on a sticky wicket in the state and the Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, sparing no effort to humiliate the former, supporting his party from outside, these visits are being referred to as part of the strategy to ready the party for the Lok Sabha poll next year. In fact, it is believed that the INLD supremo may go in for the Assembly poll along with the Lok Sabha poll to escape the anti-incumbancy vote. BJP sources said time was running out for the party and there was a need to strengthen the party base in at least the urban areas since the INLD could not be trusted as a reliable alliance partner this time around. In the last Lok Sabha elections, the BJP and the INLD, which fought the elections in alliance, had won five seats each. However, the alliance is virtually on the rocks now, although both parties are supporting each other at the Central and state levels on reciprocal basis from outside. The Prime Minister ‘s visit to lay the foundation stone for the second phase of the ambitious twin projects, costing over Rs 16,000 crore, will be showcased as a major investment by the Central Government in Haryana. Mr Vajpayee will be accompanied by the Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister, Mr Ram Naik. On the other hand, the visit of Mr Advani and Mr Naidu will be utilised to enthuse the party workers to get their act together for electoral battles ahead as the party may be forced to go it alone this time. Meanwhile, security has been beefed up in and around the city in view of the visits of the VVIPs. An area of over 25 acres near the refinery township at Khorakheri village in Karnal district has been cleared of wild growth and a police picket has been established to keep a watch on suspicious persons. The venue had been selected at a distance of over 5 km from the refinery keeping in view the security aspect, the sources said. Work on a helipad and setting up a rostrum had been set in motion. Senior police and administrative officials of the two districts are regularly reviewing the arrangements for the visits. Similarly, for the visit of Mr Advani and other senior functionaries, the Arya School Grounds adjoining the venue of the rally, Circus Ground, have been readied for the landing of the helicopter. Leaders of the state unit are leaving no stone unturned to assemble a massive crowd for the rally, being billed as a major show of strength and aimed at firing salvos at its “ally”, the INLD, and other political rivals. |

He asked young managers, students, academicians and industrialists to join the mainstream to uplift weaker sections of society. Prof Sampat Singh emphasised that direct competition from imported goods could not be prevented. He said one could argue on the merits and demerits of exposure of the Indian economy to global competition. He said developed countries continued to provide a high degree of domestic support to their agricultural sectors. He added that export subsidies had not been reduced and reduction commitments had been circumvented by developed countries.

35 jhuggis destroyed in fire during anti-encroachment drive Karnal, October 11 The local Additional Deputy Commissioner, Mr Lajbir Singh, along with other officials and police force went to Ashoka Colony and forcibly got some part of the land vacated. But as the bulldozers were pressed into service fire broke out in the jhuggis, forcing the people to leave the area. However, no one was reportedly injured. Sources in the district administration said 35 jhuggis were destroyed. The displaced slum-dwellers blamed the local administration for setting their jhuggis on fire. On the other hand, the administration denied the allegations saying that some slum dwellers themselves set their jhuggis on fire. Five fire engines were pressed into service and when the fire could not be put out five more fire engines from Teraori and Nilokheri were called in. When the fire came under control a JCB machine was used by the authorities to dig the whole piece of land. The displaced families claimed that they had ration cards and voting cards. These families belong to Barabanki, Sultanpur and Bahraich districts in Uttar Pradesh. They claimed that they had orders from Commissioner, Rohtak range, to maintain status quo. On the other hand, a spokesman for the district administration said the limit of status quo by the Rohtak Range Commissioner had expired on August 21 this year and the residents had been told to vacate the land. They had already taken out their essential items and to give a bad name to the administration they themselves set their huts on fire, he added. The displaced people demanded alternate site for their resettlement and adequate compensation from the administration. A displaced person, who runs a rickshaw, said a few of his household items were destroyed in the fire. “Now I have not even a cot to sleep”, he said. A woman said she had three small children, but no place to provide them with shelter. “Our family has been living at this place for the past 20 years. The local authorities should have spared a thought for us by making some alternate arrangement”, she said sobbing. |
