Youth arrested in Nobel theft case
Kolkata, April 3 Pradeep Bauri (27), a former contract gardener at the university, was detained from neighbouring Bolpur area on March 29 along with some other suspects and investigations showed his finger and palm prints matched with those found around the place from where Tagore’s Nobel medal and other memorabilia had been stolen more than a week ago, CID Additional DG R.K. Mahanti told reporters here today. Bauri has been handed over to the CBI for further investigation, he said. Mr Mahanti said though Bauri confessed his crime initially and was beginning to divulge details about his aides, he retracted his statement after getting a legal opinion from his counsels. The youth, hailing from Supur village of Bolpur in Birbhum district, was known to be involved in petty crimes in the region and was arrested in a drunken state. NEW DELHI: The CBI would launch a toll-free number for the public to provide any information on the theft of Rabindranath Tagore’s Nobel Prize medallion. CBI sources told UNI that the agency plans to set up a specific tele-line in connection with the high-profile theft that has rocked the nation and led to the knocking of doors of the Interpol. “The number would be a toll-free one and the people could report directly to the Central agency from anywhere. The information could be direct or related to the theft which could lead to confiscation, arrest or clue regarding the case,” said the source. Meanwhile, the CBI today announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for anyone giving information leading to the recovery of Nobel medallion and other precious things of Rabindranath Tagore. The CBI sources said that the reward was announced after no definite clue came in about the daring burglary that took place at Shantiniketan last week. The CBI Director U.S. Mishra had a meeting with Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee yesterday when the latter visited Shantiniketan. “Advertisements in this regard have been given in newspapers,” the source added.

Cong, CPM for ban on exit poll New Delhi, April 3 The Election Commission has convened an all-party meeting on April 6 to get views of various political parties on opinion and exit polls. This would be the second attempt by the Commission in five years to review the opinion and exit poll issue afresh. TNS spoke to major political parties on the issue and the stand they were likely to take in the meeting. “We do believe that exit polls do influence the voters to certain extent, but we have not taken any stand on this issue so far,” said BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi. Meanwhile, with different surveys projecting the return of the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, the Saffron party seems to be
reluctant in stopping the positive image these surveys are creating amongst voters. However, the Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma categorically stated that the Election Commission should ban all exit polls. “Exit poll results should not be allowed to be broadcast or published till the last phase of polling,” he said. Even in developed countries, where there is staggered polling or difference in the closing of poll due to different time zones, the results of the exit polls are withheld, lest it influences the voting pattern, Mr Sharma said. The CPM politburo member Prakash Karat said if the exit poll results are broadcast or published before the completion of voting in all phases, it violates the basic principle of free and fair poll in the country. However, on opinion polls, political parties were unanimous that they do not have objection to it. A Congress leader said the accuracy of these polls is doubtful, as many of these have gone wrong. Karat said the opinion poll surveys should carry a warning to the viewers and readers that they are not the actual result, but trend found amongst a sample. The Commission, by its guidelines in January 1998 and August 1999, had prohibited any dissemination of exit polls and opinion polls. When the EC’s guidelines were heard in the Supreme Court, the independent election body had to withdraw it, after the apex court observed that the Commission had no powers under Article 324 of the Constitution to issue such guidelines. “The Election Commission wants us to act in its aid and issue the directions so that if anyone violates it, he can be proceeded against for contempt of the court. It is simply ridiculous. The Commission should have realised that it has no powers to issue such guidelines on the plea of the Press Council of India,” the court had observed. Withdrawing its guidelines, the Commission had stated that the “substantive issue of opinion and exit polls in a poor and half literate society needed to be debated by the country and the new Parliament”. |

Cong wins over Shahbuddin New Delhi, April 3 As part of this ongoing endeavour, the party has been promised the
support of high-profile Muslim leader and one-time Congress critic, Syed Shahbuddin. By winning him over, the Congress is hoping to offset the embarassing loss of another high-profile Muslim leader, Arif Mohammad Khan, to the BJP. It also wants to send out a clear signal to the Samajwadi Party that the Muslims are now shifting allegiance to the Congress. A former IFS officer, Mr. Shahbuddin, who has had two stints in the Lok Sabha, heads a leading Muslim organisation, Majlis-e- Mushawarrat, and was convener of the now-defunct, Babri Masjid Movement Coordination Committee. He is known to be a hardliner with very definite and strong views on the issue of minorities. When contacted, Mr Shahbuddin confirmed that he had been in touch with senior Congress leaders like Manmohan Singh and Salman Khursheed over the past several months and expressed his willingness to campaign for the party. “If the Congress asks me, I will be willing to campaign intensively for the party,” he said. Mr Shahbuddin denied reports that he could be the Congress candidate from Moradabad, stating he did not think it is morally correct on his part to contest elections soon after pledging support to the party. The Congress has been actively seeking out the support of other Muslim leaders and organisations, which had drifted away to other parties like the Samajwadi Party, after the demolition of the Babri Masjid. A 25-member delegation of Muslim leaders from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, which included Islamic scholars, met Congress president Sonia Gandhi today to pledge support to the party. Another such delegation of Muslim leaders had met Mrs.Gandhi last Sunday to extend support to the party. It also urged the Congress to have an alliance with the Samajwadi Party so that there is no split in the secular vote. As part of its ongoing efforts to wean away Muslims from the Samajwadi Party, the Congress has also set up a special minorities campaign committee with a separate office. Mr Mohammad Adeeb, who heads the committee, said in the coming days they would be contacting all Muslim organisations in the country and get them to issue written appeals in favour of the Congress. He said the Congress would also make an all-out effort to see that the minorities come out in full strength on polling day as past figures show that their vote
percentage fluctuated from a low of 12 to a high of 40 per cent. Though the focus will be on Uttar Pradesh, these appeals will be distributed in 120 identified Lok Sabha constituencies, having a substantial Muslim population. In addition, Mr Adeeb said, the campaign committee will also bring out a chargesheet against SP leader Mulayam Singh Yadav, citing specific instances of how he had been colluding with the BJP. |

BJP to launch mega poll campaign on April 6 New Delhi, April 3 The “high-voltage” election campaign is scheduled to begin on the party’s foundation day, with its prominent leaders training guns on opponents’ weaknesses and focus on the issues of development, achievements and leadership. Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee will address a public meeting in Guwahati, from where Bhupen Hazarika is contesting. “We will launch ‘chunavi mahasangram’ on April 6 with Prime Minister Vajpayee, Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani, party President M. Venkaiah Naidu and all senior party leaders addressing public meetings across the country,” BJP general secretary and spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told newspersons here. Earlier, Mr Vajpayee’s name did not figure in the list of campaigners for the ‘mega campaign’ as the schedule managers’ thought it would be tiring for the Prime Minister to address two public rallies on consecutive days — at Lucknow on April 5 and at Guwahati on April 6. However, the think tank of the party thought it fit to send a positive message among the people of the north-eastern states, where the party is confident of cornering major share of seats, by organising public rally of Prime Minister on the day one of the “mega campaign”. Besides highlighting the achievements on the economic front, foreign policy, education, employment and infrastructure development by the first non-Congress government to complete five years at the Centre, the campaign will capitalise on the “feel good” wave for the NDA. According to Mr Naqvi, the party will hold more than 300 rallies and public meetings before the first two phases of polling. While Union Law Minister Arun Jaitley will address a meeting at Nagal (Hoshiarpur), Vinod Khanna will address rallies at Kukanoor, Raichur and Bider in Karnataka. Mr Naqvi will address public meetings in Srinagar and Smailpur (Samba) in Jammu and Kashmir, Union Minister Sanghpriya Gautam in Rohtak, Kalanour (Haryana), Major-Gen B.C. Khanduri in Amb (Hamirpur) and Amb (District Una) and BJP Vice-President Bal Apte in Chandigarh. Union HRD Minister Murli Manohar Joshi will address public meetings at Cuttack and Raibania in Orissa and Finance Minister Jaswant Singh at Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala and Udupi in Karnataka. Shatrughan Sinha, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Arun Shourie, Kalraj Misra, Raman Singh, Arjun Munda and Tapan Sikdar have also been roped in for the campaign. |

‘Feel good’ factor passes by daily wage earners Bhopal, April 3 True to her election promise, Ms Bharati saw to it that the matter of daily wage earners was taken up by her Cabinet at its first meeting held on December 13 last year. The Cabinet decided to reinstate all sacked daily wagers forthwith. The implementation of the decision was then passed on to the
babus. The result: only a few hundred of the estimated 28,000 daily wage earners have so far been reinstated. The patience of the daily wage earners is now petering out. The very people who had held rallies to hail Ms Uma Bharati as the new Chief Minister in December last are now planning rallies and demonstrations in protest against the apathy of the new government – as they had done earlier during the Congress regime. They have started an indefinite dharna at the Tin-Shed and will hold a protest rally at Roshanpura Naka on Sunday. According to the Madhya Pradesh Karmachari Manch president, Mr Ashok
Pande, they will try to meet the Chief Minister to impress upon her the need for expediting reinstatement of daily wager earners who have been going through tremendous hardships through all these years. Driven to poverty resulting from unemployment, over a dozen daily wage earners had committed suicide.aIf nothing tangible came out of the talks, the daily wage earners from all over the state would gherao the state secretariat on April 19, Mr Pande said. |

NDA manifesto to have foreign origin issue: George
Bangalore, April 3 “I have no hesitation in saying this is an issue that will figure in our manifesto”, he told a meet-the-press programme. However, Mr Fernandes said he would not like to “open out now on the entire programme we are planning”. He said it was a “disgrace” that the Congress, a 120-year-old party which was in the forefront of the freedom movement, “cannot produce a single person — man or woman — who was born in this country to lead the party and aspire for primeministership or presidentship”. Without naming Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Mr Fernandes said this was an issue that needed to be brought before the people and the country saved from “this kind of humiliation”. “Honour and dignity of the nation”, developmental work and continuation of the work done in the past five years would be the other issues in the agenda, he said. “For a nation of a billion people... the party is still called by the name of Indian National Congress...”, Mr Fernandes remarked, noting that Mahatma Gandhi wanted the Congress to be disbanded soon after Independence. Mahatma Gandhi, he said, had reasons to suggest disbanding of the Congress as in 1937 when the party came to power in all presidencies barring two, people would complain to him at his prayer meetings that its ministers had become corrupt.

PM agrees with Advani on Sonia’s foreign origin issue Chennai, April 3 Talking to newspersons at the Meenambakkam airport here on his way to Nellore in Andhra Pradesh to address an election rally, Mr Vajpayee said: “Sonia Gandhi’s foreign origin will be an equally important issue like the campaign on development done by the National Democratic Alliance
(NDA) government.” “This issue of foreign origin is important and is being debated among the electorate,” he added. Mr Vajpayee seems to have changed his stand on Ms Gandhi’s foreign origin as only a few days back he had asked his party leaders to refrain from it as he considered it as a “personal attack”. His change came following Deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani supporting the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi who launched a virulent attack on Sonia Gandhi because of her birth in Italy. Mr Advani had said the issue of foreign origin was not a personal one and had political reference and it would be debated upon during electioneering. Later addressing an election rally at
Nellore, 130 km from here, the Prime Minister said there were no sounds of bombs in Pakistan but only cricket. He lamented that while the whole world was complimenting both countries because of the peace initiative, the Congress was not supporting the NDA government. He recalled: “During the Bangladesh liberation war in 1971 when I was leader of the Opposition, I personally congratulated the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.” Asking the Naxalites in Andhra Pradesh to give up armed struggle, Mr Vajpayee said: “I request you to give up arms. Violence will not resolve any problem. If you want power then join the mainstream and get it by winning the elections.” The Prime Minister said the BJP-led NDA wanted to increase employment and ensure all round development of the country. He regretted that the Telugu Desam Party
(TDP), which is the ruling party in Andhra Pradesh, did not join the NDA government at the Centre and said the
BJP-TDP political tie-up was an ideal one and without any vested interest. Commenting on the political scenario in Tamil Nadu, in the presence of Chief Minister and AIADMK General Secretary J. Jayalalithaa, Vajpayee said he was ready for a joint campaign. Jayalalithaa said her party had already invited Mr Vajpayee to campaign for the
BJP-AIADMK combine and the schedule would be worked out soon. Expressing solidarity with the BJP leadership on Sonia Gandhi’s foreign origin, Jayalalithaa said only an Indian should rule this country and she considered Mr Vajpayee as the best leader who would be the next Prime Minister. She was confident that her party and the BJP would sweep all the 39 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu during the May 10 elections. |

Satish Sharma would be present when she files her nomination papers between 11 am and 1 pm. “Ms Gandhi chose Rae Bareli as her Lok Sabha constituency because of its long emotional ties with the Nehru-Gandhi family. Beginning from Pt. Motilal Nehru to Sonia Gandhi, the fifth generation of the family is entering a direct relationship with the people here,” he told reporters. “If Ms Gandhi becomes the Prime Minister, the process of development would be restored in Rae Bareli, where most industrial units had either been closed or were on the verge of closure,” Mr Sharma added. He said Ms Priyanka Vadra would also campaign for her mother in Rae Bareli and brother Rahul in Amethi.

Money mafia
biggest threat to politics, says George Bangalore, April 3 In Bangalore to launch his party JD
(U)’s joint campaign with the BJP in the state, with whom they have a seat sharing arrangement, he said this trend started with the late Mrs Indira Gandhi, and it was important to ensure that money power was not part of the political process. “There is a don in Bihar, who made his money stealing question papers and selling them. There is another such person in Laloo Prasad Yadav’s party. And these are not isolated cases.” On criticism about the timing of the finalisation of the deal to purchase 66 Hawk 100 AJT aircraft from British Aerospace, he said: “That deal has been hanging for the last 25 years. As long as I am in the Defence Ministry, I shall not allow any rubbish to go on there.” Taking jibes at the Congress administration in the state, he said that he was “shocked” to hear about corruption and misadministration. “I did not think this could happen under Chief Minister
S.M. Krishna, who also came out of the socialist movement, and with whom I have had good relations.” “On Mr L.K. Advani reportedly raking up the temple issue during his Bharat Uday Yatra in Nagpur, Mr Fernandes said: “I don’t think there is anybody in the country who is against the temple. The only question is about when and how.” |

800 starvation deaths in Bengal tea gardens Kolkata, April 3 The deaths resulted from a combination of starvation, malnutrition, general debility and diseases among workers in abandoned tea gardens in North Bengal, said a report by the Indian People’s Tribunal on Human Rights and the Environment
(IPT), a civil rights group based in Mumbai, reports OneWorld. The current situation is volatile, with tea garden workers threatening to revolt against managements for locking out gardens without prior notice and snapping electricity and water supply to homes of labourers. A senior leader of the tea workers community warned there would be an uprising across the tea belt and violence could spiral out of control. Amid increasing tension, an IPT team led by retired Bombay high court judge and IPT chairman Hosbet Suresh, visited several closed plantations in March to assess the situation. The IPT decided to investigate reports of starvation deaths following a request by
Swadhikar, a rights group of Jalpaiguri district in north Bengal. The survey group reported the large-scale violation of human rights. Workers and their families were living within gardens in sub-human conditions. At least 25 tea gardens in north Bengal were closed during the past three years, turning more than a million workers jobless, after their managements decided to shut down operations citing poor economic viability.
Swadhikar adviser Vaskar Nandy accused the managements of leaving workers in the lurch and predicted a “catastrophe” if the state and Central governments did not aid the labourers. There are an estimated 160 gardens in north Bengal, which accounts for about 30 per cent of India’s annual tea production of 823 million kg. India is the world’s largest tea producer and the beverage from north Bengal is regarded as one of the best brews. For their part, though, captains of the tea industry, accused of closing down gardens without bothering about workers, reject allegations of starvation deaths. The government health department is the competent authority to declare starvation deaths.
