Mann decries Vishwa Sikh Sammelan as anti-Sikh Jalandhar, October 27 Lambasting the “Sammelan” Mr Mann said no Sikh could tolerate any such “sammelan” as it had hit the basis of the Sikhism, for which “Badal Tohra” combine was responsible. Putting forth his suggestions on the appointment of Jathedars and the process of issuance of “Hukamnamas”, Mr Mann said Jathedars’ appointments should be time-bound while, the “Hukamnamas” should be considered at meetings of the Dharam Parchar Committee before final issuance and any suggestion of the committee should also be kept in view. Mr Mann, who was accompanied by Mr Anoop Singh Minhas, General Secretary and senior party leader Dr Harjinder Jakhu also criticised the NDA-led central government for not welcoming the Canadian Prime Minister in a proper manner. “This has once again revealed the central government’s anti-Punjab and anti-Sikh attitude and policies. This is nothing short of insult of Sikhs as the visit of the Canadian Prime Minister to Punjab held more relevance of Punjab and Punjabis. Our party workers were also not allowed to welcome the Canadian Prime Minister during his recent Amritsar visit. Whenever, any international leader intended to visit Punjab, he is advised not to go to Punjab,” alleged Mr Mann. He said he would take up the issue with the President of India, and in Parliament. He said he would extend invitation to the US President George W Bush to visit Punjab. He said his party’s “jatha” which was going to Pakistan on the eve of Birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, would meet President General Pervez Musharraf and would urge him to facilitate representation of the SGPC on the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. Mr Mann said trade relations should be restored between India and Pakistan by opening Wagah and Hussainiwala routes. |

Sikh convention a farce, says Ravi
Inder Nangal, October 27 He said the party’s policy regarding the issue would be finalised at a meeting on November 5. He said his opinion was that stress should be on the kind of members getting elected to the SGPC rather than those voting them to power. The denial of voting rights would alienate a large number of believers from the mainstream of Sikhism, he said. He dismissed the world Sikh council as a farce, saying that dhly the Akal takht jathedar had the power to convene “sarbat Khalsa”. |

Badal, Tohra used Akal Takht for political ends, says Ravi
Inder Bathinda, October 27 In a press note here today, Mr Gurdeep Singh, General Secretary, Nav Gathit Akali Dal, said that both Mr Ravi Inder Singh and Mr Jasbir Singh Rode condemned the derogatory remarks against Akal Takht by a few speakers at the World Sikh Conference organised at Mohali yesterday. Both leaders clarified that party would keep on abiding by the authority and sanctity of Akal Takht. The leaders alleged that these two leaders always created controversy in connection, with the authority of Akal Takht and changed its Jathedar at their Whims. This was the main reason that now the authority of Akal Takht was being challenged. They said that some principles and policies should be laid down for appointing, removing and working of the Jathedar of Akal Takht and their party would make efforts to make consensus on it besides making it an issue in the election to the executive committee of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). |

Gurtej Singh’s title to
go Amritsar, October 27 A formal decision to this effect would be taken at the next executive meeting of the SGPC, Mr Calcutta said at a press conference. “It is not fair to advocate the person (Kala
Afghana) who has been excommunicated by the Akal Takht Jathedar”, he said. It was in 1984 that the honour had been conferred upon Prof Gurtej Singh by the then SGPC executive for his works on Sikhism. Mr Calcutta told reporters that the SGPC’s 21-member religious advisory board would meet on November 11 to decide whether the Akal Takht Jathedar should be urged to summon Prof Gurtej Singh and Mr Joginder Singh, Editor of the “Spokesman” magazine. Both of them had yesterday organised the convention at Mohali along with a few other Sikh organisations and individuals in which the authority of the Akal Takht Jathedar to issue edicts had been challenged. Meanwhile, International Human Rights Organisation Chairman D.S. Gill said: “The show was sponsored and organised by Kala Afghana’s relatives and fans from abroad, and a section of the Chandigarh-based intellectuals who tried to lend credibility to the function by spearheading the defensive move of Kala Afghana”. |

Teacher in custody for ‘bribing’ Badal’s wife Kharar, October 27 Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate B.K. Bhatia directed to produce the accused before a special court on the next date for further remand related matters. Jagnandan Singh, a resident of Sangrian in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan, who is working as a government teacher, was arrested by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) on Thursday last and was produced before the court here this evening after the expiry of his three-day police remand. On Friday, a Kharar court had remanded him in police custody till today. The public prosecutor, accompanied by VB sleuths, sought a five-day extension in police remand for him on grounds of recovering his alleged “fake” domicile certificate, on the basis of which he got recruited as a government teacher, and ascertaining his sources of income, with which he allegedly paid “bribe” for clearing his selection as a Hindi teacher. The prosecution claimed that after getting prepared his “fake” domicile certificate, Jagnandan Singh, along with his brother-in-law Kuldeep Singh of Muktsar and Harbans Lal, a four-decade-old manager of Mr Badal, at present behind bars, had approached Mr Badal’s wife Surinder Kaur Badal and gave her Rs 2.5 lakh. Further submitting that no test was conducted for the said post, the prosecution claimed that though he possessed no experience certificate or any extra qualification, he was awarded 13 out of 15 numbers in the interview conducted for filling the posts. — UNI Chandigarh, October 27 Sources in the Vigilance Bureau disclose that they would shoot another communique asking his lawyer to give information about the flight Mr Bikram Majithia took to fly out of the country and the country where he had gone so that they could get in touch with the embassy there to trace him out. The bureau had on October 22 sent Mr Bikram Majithia a notice, asking him to join in the investigations at their Economic Offences Wing office and had also been asked to bring in the papers of his vehicle, a green-coloured Scorpio, and his passport. The notice had been sent to him keeping in view his close proximity with Chandigarh police Assistant Sub-Inspector, Nirbhjit Singh, alias Nippy Dhanoa who had been nabbed by the immigration authorities at Delhi. Mr Majithia’s vehicle was allegedly used by Nippy to travel from Mohali to Delhi. In yet another development, a notice has also been sent to Mr Randeep Singh Rai, a city-based advocate, to join in the investigations in the case of corruption against the Badals. Mr Rai, who, according to the Vigilance Bureau happens to be one of the main beneficiaries during the Badal regime is also reported to be close to both Sukhbir Badal and Bikram Majithia. However, according to information available, he too is reported to be out of country. Hence, two of the junior Badal’s key associates, who were to join in the investigations, happen to be abroad. Besides them, a host of others, who had been asked to come for questioning are reported to be put of the country.

World Bank team to visit Punjab next week Chandigarh, October 27 “We have pulled all strings to enhance the revenue. The sales tax collection is being geared up to create a balance between revenue and expenditure. It is a bit difficult situation but we are trying to amend it”, said a senior officer of the state government. Next Monday, a high-level 14-member team of the World Bank will reach here to assess the financial scenario in Punjab and its progress on the financial reforms front. When Capt Amarinder Singh took over as Chief Minister last year, he initiated several steps to put the state’s economy back on the rails. However, because of tactless and apolitical handling, the fiscal reforms initiated by the government led to a public outcry. Certain well-intentioned moves had to be halted because of opposition from various sections of the society. The Punjab Government last year made certain commitments such as financial discipline, better tax collection management, administrative restructuring and jacking up of low agricultural growth with the Union Government as part of the fiscal reforms. In lieu of that, the Centre had offered to stand guarantee to the loans to be raised by it (state) from international financial institutions such as the World Bank. Source said the Punjab Government would seek financial assistance from the World Bank under the Structural Adjustment Fund. Under this fund, the World Bank provides 70 per cent of the financial assistance as grant and the remaining is treated as loan on a very low rate of interest. The state government has prepared public utility projects such as provision of adequate drinking water in rural and urban areas, laying of sewer system in various towns and cities and building of roads and bridges. At present the development process in the state is going on at a snail’s pace. While other states such as Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Haryana are galloping ahead on the path of development, Punjab apparently has been left behind. “ It has become a major concern for all”, said a senior ruling party politician. Punjab immediately needs about Rs 500 crore to take up certain projects. Sources said the state government wanted to go for “ external commercial borrowings” from international financial institutions. But for this, a nod from the Union Government was a must. When contacted, a senior officer of the Finance Department said: “Our immediate concern is to improve the situation on the tax collection front. The information collection centres that were set up for better management information regarding sales tax have not shown the desired results. There was a need to make further efforts to improve sales tax collection by making the information system more responsive and effective. Punjab is a consumer state but with low sales tax collection. That imbalance is required to set right to be jack up the state’s revenue”, he explained. It may be mentioned that even the National Planning Commission has pointed out that the collection of taxes could be raised by Rs 2500 crore in Punjab by plugging various leakage points. |

No commission, no revenue stamps through post
offices Chandigarh, October 27 The stock situation could vary from post office to post office, said a senior officer of the Punjab Circle of the Indian Postal Department. The decision has been conveyed to the Financial Commissioner (Revenue), Punjab. The move follows failure on the part of the state government to comply with the demand of the Postal Department to pay 10 per cent commission on the sale of the stamps. Over the years the Postal Department has been selling revenue stamps at its counters on behalf of the state government. When the issue was taken up with the state government, a notification was issued in May this year allowing the percentage commission on the sale of the stamps. But it was withdrawn in September last. Confirming the decision to discontinue the sale of revenue stamps, Mrs Manjula Prashar, Post Master-General, Punjab Circle, said the issue had been repeatedly taken up with the Punjab Government, but no decision had been conveyed to the department. She said the existing stocks at the post offices could last a few months. Under the existing arrangement, revenue stamps are collected by the staff at the district level post offices from the district treasuries. The Postal Department is stressing on charging commission on the sale of revenue stamps after the Centre has started cutting on subsidies. The postal circles are being asked to generate the maximum possible resources from its existing resources. The Himachal Pradesh Government pays 10 per cent commission on the sale of revenue stamps and the Jammu and Kashmir Government pays around 4 per cent commission. The decision may affect the users in the rural areas. In the urban areas, private vendors are authorised to sell revenue stamps, but in the rural areas there is no such arrangement. Under the existing arrangement, the treasuries procure their stocks from the Government Printing Press at Nasik. The stamps are further sold to the Postal Department for counter sale. Till the mid-seventies the Punjab Postal Department used to procure the revenue stamps from the Nasik press and store in Ludhiana. But later the practice was discontinued and the stamps were purchased from the state treasuries, says an officer of the Postal Department. |

BJP conspiring against Mayawati, says Karimpuri Fatehgarh Sahib,
October 27 He said the Prime Minister, Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee should not play with the fire by trying to arrest Mayawati. He said the state unit of the BSP would oppose her arrest. Party workers in large number would offer themselves for arrest. He said the state unit had started holding meetings of workers to involve them in the cause. He said if Ms Mayawati was arrested, it would led to chaos in the country as she represented the downtrodden and weaker sections of society. Mr Karimpuri had come here to address a meeting of party workers to motivate them in this regard. He alleged that the BJP leadership was conspiring against her as she had refused to toe their line. Moreover, as she had attained the stature of a National leader, the Central Government was facing a threat from her. She had contributed a lot for the development of Uttar Pradesh and the weaker section, which the BJP leadership could not digest and started conspiring to destabilise her government and to bring a bad name to her by involving her name in corruption cases, he alleged. He said in the coming elections the BJP had to pay the price for resorting to such tactics. He said the party would approach the masses and would educate the weaker section about how the “Manuwadis” were conspiring to make them slaves again. Mr Mann Singh
Manhera, general secretary of the national unit of the BSP and Mrs Surinder Kaur, state president, Women Cell of the BSP, also addressed.

Ex-minister lashes out at Cong
govt Mandi Gobindgarh, October 27 Talking to mediapersons here today, he said on the directions of the Supreme Court, the state government had banned the use of crackers and burning of stubble. However, nearly 80 per cent of farmers were engaged in the burning of stubble in their fields and the use of crackers during Divali had rendered the atmosphere smoggy. He lamented that the government had failed to spread awareness among the farmers about the ill effects of burning stubble besides the loss of urea in the soil. He said the husk could be sold to factories, where it is used as fuel to generate power. He added that the government had failed to take action against the erring farmers. Mr Pandhi was also critical of the delay in payment of scholarship amount to Scheduled Caste students. The scholarship is given to those SC students who have passed their Class XII examination and left the school. He said teachers called such students to the school to give scholarship amount, but in many cases the amount remained with the school and did not reach the beneficiaries, he said. Similarly, he said, books ment for such students did not reach them in time. Scholarships and other concessions for SC students were sanctioned by the head of the department. Mr Pandhi said the power should be decentralised up to district level to facilitate the release of the scholarship amount to such students. |
