SYL Haryana’s lifeline, says Swami Karnal, March 12 When asked about BJP’s tie-up with the SAD in the state which had always opposed to restart the construction work, he said the SAD would have to abide by the Supreme Court’s directive. “The SAD and the BJP in Punjab may have a contrary view on the SYL issue but it will not have an effect on the party’s prospects in Haryana”, he said. Confident of securing the support of the Sikhs in Haryana during the elections, he claimed that BJP would emerge out as the single largest party in the state. In reply to another question, he said the NDA government was concerned over the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir. “Mr L.K. Advani, Deputy Prime Minister, has called a meeting of the All-India Hurriyat Conference in New Delhi on March 27 as part of the efforts initiated to bring peace in the valley, he said. |

BJP to meet CEC on code violation by Chautala govt Gurgaon, March 12 Although it has not been specified in the
requisition letter, a top BJP leader said that the morality and legality of continuance of the Director-General of Police, Haryana, Mr Mahender Sigh Malik, on the post in view of his wife, Krishna Malik contesting as ruling INLD nominee from Sonepat parliamentary constituency, would be taken up with the CEC. The letter, signed, by the state president of the BJP, Prof Ganeshi Lal, has sought appointment for the meeting with the CEC on March 18. The BJP would demand removal of Mr Malik from his post. The BJP leader said that there was a
possibility of him playing a partisan role in favour of the INLD, especially in the Sonepat constituency. With his continuance on the sensitive post, the state police was also likely to be prejudiced. The party’s rank and file was all the more apprehensive of the ruling INLD moves as its leadership was allegedly giving special attention to the Sonepat seat represented by the BJP leader, Mr Kishan Singh Sangwan in the last Lok Sabha. |
