BJP asks Kalam to intervene on Governors’ issue New Delhi, June 28 During their half-an-hour meeting at Rashtrapati Bhavan, the delegation drew the attention of the President to the “pressure” being mounted on the Governors, especially of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Goa, to resign and said the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government should follow the “precedent” set by the Vajpayee government in consulting Chief Ministers prior to appointing Governors. “We drew his (President’s) attention to the fact that some Governors were being removed for political reasons. It seems that those who had relations with the BJP are being informed that they should resign and if they don’t, they will be removed,” Mr Advani told newspersons after the meeting. He pointed out that as the Governors enjoyed a “fixed tenure”, the President will have to invoke the Constitutional provision of “withdrawing his pleasure” to remove them and “pleasure is not revoked arbitrarily”. Mr Advani further said that “if charges of corruption and treason are there against the Governors, then the pleasure can be revoked but doing so just because they are related to a political party would set a very wrong precedent,” he said. The former Deputy Prime Minister said the President gave them a patient hearing and assured that he would thoroughly study the “precedents, the Constitutional and legal aspects” before taking a decision. The other members of the delegation were Deputy Leader of the Opposition Vijay Kumar Malhotra, former Union Ministers Murli Manohar Joshi, Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, B.C. Khanduri, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and S.S. Ahluwalia. Mr Advani, along with the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mr Jaswant Singh, had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in this regard on Saturday. During their meeting with Dr Manmohan Singh, the government’s view on the issue was put forward by Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil. The BJP leaders had carried certain papers with them to substantiate their argument as to why the Governors appointed by the previous NDA government should not be removed due to the “whims and fancies” of the UPA regime. Meanwhile, the Congress, refuting the BJP’s charge, said incumbent “political appointees” should have themselves offered to quit. “Political appointees should have themselves offered to quit,” Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma told newspersons here while reacting to the BJP delegation’s meeting with the President on the Governors’ issue. The present situation of confrontation had arisen after the BJP leadership advised the Governors “having links with the Sangh Parivar” not to follow the “diktats” of the new government because strong “technical and constitutional” reasons favour their continuation in office and that it would not be easy for the UPA government to remove them. According to a senior BJP leader, there is a laid-out norm for the appointment of a Governor even as the Constitution merely states that the “Governor of a State shall be appointed by the President by warrant under his hand and seal”. Article 156 of the Constitution clearly spells out that “the Governor shall hold office during the pleasure of the President.” If the government wants to remove a Governor, it would have to follow the same pattern as established for the appointment of a Governor, the BJP leader said. The Home Ministry will have to prepare a proposal and papers to this effect, bearing the Home Minister’s signature, which would have to be sent to the Cabinet Secretariat for the Prime Minister’s approval. After it is signed by the Prime Minister, the proposal would then be sent to the President advising him to “discontinue his pleasure” for a certain Governor, he said. “It could have served the purpose if one Governor was to be removed, but if the number is more than one, the President could return the proposal to the Government with a query, which would definitely embarrass the Government,” he added. |

Budget to mitigate farmers’ plight, says Manmohan New Delhi, June 28 Dr Singh, who met leaders of various farm associations today, said the government was attaching urgency to the problems of the farmers. “I attach great importance to the interaction with the farmers and people in our villages. There is no monopoly of wisdom in the government,” the Prime Minister told a delegation of farmers today. He said the government will seek inputs on policy from the grassroots level and there was a need for constant flow of information between the government and the farmers. The government will bring forward a bill to address the needs of aquaculture sector, an official release said and the Prime Minister added that revitalisation of the cooperative credit system will be given a priority. Speaking to the newspersons after a two-hour meeting with the Prime Minister, the chairman of the Andhra Pradesh unit of the Federation of Farmers Association P Chengal Reddy said Dr Singh has assured that the government will address the problems of farmers. “The Prime said there was a need for continuous interaction with the farmers to study their problems and the government proposed to streamline the credit delivery mechanism,” Mr Reddy said. |

Mulayam seeks special package for UP New Delhi, June 28 Mr Yadav, who met the Prime Minister at his residence, also asked for other economic
relief's to farmers and weaker sections. After a 45-minute meeting, Mr Yadav said that he had pressed relief to unemployed youths, poor farmers and other weaker sections in the Budget to be presented on July 8. The demands included cheaper rates for fertilisers, unemployment allowance for the youth and admission of poor and meritorious students to the prestigious management institutes on nominal fees. Asked whether the issue of removing state Governor
Vishukant Shastri figured during discussions, Mr Yadav said it was not on his agenda. The main purpose was to discuss the financial support to the cash-strapped state and larger benefits to the poor in the Budget, he added. The meeting is being seen in the political quarters as Mr Yadav’s move to catch the popular imagination in the wake of the tough political battle ahead. |

SC notice to Bihar Govt
on Rabri’s plea New Delhi, June 28 They challenged their prosecution by the CBI in the case on the ground that no prior sanction was obtained by the agency for their trial before filing the chargesheet. A vacation Bench of Mr Justice K G Balakrishnan and Mr Justice P.V. Reddi issued a notice to the Bihar Government through the CBI on Ms Rabri Devi’s petition, seeking a reply. But in the case of Mr Laloo Prasad Yadav, the court found that he had been adequately protected by it in its order of 2001, and adjourned the hearing on his separate plea without any order. The husband and wife, who were accused by the CBI of acquiring assets disporportionate to their known sources of income in the aftermath of the multi-crore “foddar scam”, had moved separate petitions in the apex court questioning their prosecution by the CBI without obtaining a sanction from the authorities concerned. Senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, appearing for them contended that the CBI had not obtained a sanction against the Bihar Chief Minister for her prosecution. He said four years ago Mr Yadav had challenged his prosecution in the disproportionate assets case on the same ground and the Patna High Court had admitted the petition saying that a substantial question of law had to be decided in his case. Since the trial court had started examining the evidence in the case, while their petition was pending before the high court, this question has to be decided first whether their trial was as per the law or not, Mr Jethmalani argued. But the apex court said it had, in its 2001 order, directed that if the final order of the trial court was pronounced during the pendency of his petition before the high court, it would remain suspended till his plea was disposed of. |

Rajasthan to counter Punjab decision on river waters Jaipur, June 28 She convened a meeting of senior leaders of as many as 10 political parties here today to apprise them of the situation arisen out of the Punjab Government’s decision and discuss its implications. Former Rajasthan Chief Ministers, Mr Shivcharan Mathur and Mr Jagannath Pahadia, also participated in the meeting, besides leaders of the BJP, the Congress, the CPI, the CPM, and other parties functioning in the state. Mr Mathur, who was a signatory to the agreement executed in 1981, underlined the fact that Rajasthan’s share was determined at 8.6 MAF of water which was not being fully supplied as per the terms and conditions. Later, Ms Raje told newsmen that, irrespective of their ideological differences, all the leaders unanimously expressed great concern over the issue and an all-party committee constituted for the purpose would approve a draft resolution prepared by the state government to counter the Punjab move. It would be placed before the Assembly on July 1. Before passing the counter resolution, a full-day debate was also contemplated to discuss the legal, constitutional and ethical dimensions of the Punjab decision, Ms Raje disclosed. The Chief Minister observed that if the situation warranted, the state government would approach the President and the Prime Minister to intervene in the matter and save the state from a likely catastrophe. While Dr B.D. Kalla, Leader of the Opposition, assured his party’s wholehearted support to this cause, irrespective of the fact that Punjab had the Congress government headed by Capt Amarinder Singh, the state Irrigation Minister, Prof Sanwar Lal Jat, commented that Punjab was under statutory obligations to honour the agreements to which it was a willingly signatory. |

President awaits details
on Dhananjay New Delhi, June 28 The President wrote to the Home Ministry seeking complete details of the case about 10 days ago and is yet to receive those, according to sources in the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Since the President under the law cannot initiate any action in the mercy petition on his own and has to proceed as per the recommendations placed before him by the government, he has to wait for the response from the Home Ministry, the sources say. Dr Kalam has also sought details from the ministry about the instances when mercy petitions have been dealt with by the President. Dhananjay, who was a watchman in a Kolkata Housing Society, was convicted by the Alipur Sessions Court for raping and murdering a schoolgirl on March 5, 1991. West Bengal Chief Minister Budhadeb Bhattacharya has already sent an official communication to the Union Home Ministry endorsing capital punishment to Dhananjay. According to the sources, the Chief Minister in his communication to the ministry has made it clear that the condemned prisoner should not be allowed to take advantage of legal “loopholes” in his favour and that he does not deserve any “mercy” for the crime committed by him. Before submitting the facts to the President to make a “watertight” case for the rejection of his clemency petition, the Home Ministry is understood to have been examining all details of the case, right from the award of the death sentence by the Sessions Court in August 1991, confirmation of the punishment by the Calcutta High Court in August 1992, the Supreme Court rejecting his appeal in January 1992 and also dismissing his review petition subsequently after 10 days. The Home Ministry is also examining the February 16, 1996, and June 2, 2004, orders of the West Bengal Governor rejecting his mercy petitions. The ministry is taking into account all these aspects to see how the convict could not be executed even when his mercy petition was first rejected by the Governor way back in February 1996, say the sources. Once the complete details of the case are placed before the President, he could obtain independent opinion from legal experts, including the Attorney-General, on the issue, legal experts say. The apex court on June 25 had declined to entertain Dhananjay’s fresh petition challenging the Governor’s order rejecting his mercy petition for the second time. The court had said: “Since the President is seized of the matter under Article 72 of the Constitution (which deals with his clemency powers), it closes the case at this stage.” West Bengal counsel Tarachandra Sharma had told the court that the state government would be sending its reply to the Union Home Ministry’s communication on the issue. |

Atal govt betrayed nation on Ayodhya, says VHP Kolkata, June 28 Mr Singhal warned that unless the BJP leadership changed its “pseudo-secular” attitude towards the Muslims and other minority communities at the cost of Hindutva, the VHP would a launch a direct confrontation against the BJP and its allies. Over 200 VHP sadhus and its followers from Lucknow, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Mathura, Brindaban and other places have been attending the week-long Dharma Sammelan at south Kolkata’s
Maharashtra Nivas Hall. Mr Praveen Togadia, Acharya Giriraj Kishore and Mr Bhupendra Modi and several other office-bearers of the VHP were present on the opening day of the sammelan. Mr Togadia accused the Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee of not protecting the interests of the Hindus for political gains. Still, the BJP, under his leadership, had to quit power, he observed. He said Ram janmabhoomi and Ayodhya were now the two undisputed issues on which the VHP would not make any compromise with the present Manmohan Singh government. Mr Togadia said they would finalise at the conference the exact date and time for beginning the construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya without waiting further for the Supreme Court’s judgment. The Dharma Sammelan began with the chanting of Vedic hymns and offering of
puja, where the sadhus also performed rituals. From early morning, several hundred BJP and VHP followers and supporters came to the venue of the Dharma Sammelan by buses, cars and other vehicles from different places. So far no untoward incident has been reported. A large contingent of the CRPF and other paramilitary forces had been deployed around Maharashtra Nivas Hall for maintaining
peace. However, for some time, traffic was disrupted in the south Kolkata area when VHP processions marched towards Maharashtra Nivas Hall from different areas. |

Navy, HAL sign MoU for repair of Sea King copters
New Delhi, June 28 The Rs 76.18 crore project is expected to be fully operational by the end of this year. The facility is expected to greatly enhance the serviceability of the Sea King fleet of helicopters and reduce down-time significantly. This will give the Indian Navy better fleet readiness as it will provide uninterrupted repair and full overhaul as well as support of spare parts. The MoU was signed here by Vice-Admiral SV Gopalachari, Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff, and HAL Chairman N R Mohanty. Mr Mohanty termed this as “a major milestone” as it would create an indigenous state-of-the-art generic repair and full overhaul facility in the country. The Sea King is the backbone of the Indian Navy’s helicopter fleet. However, the sanctions imposed by the then US Government in the aftermath of the nuclear tests in May 1998 had resulted in a severe shortage of critical spare parts for the fleet. The situation was so acute that the then Defence Minister, Mr George Fernandes, had admitted in the Lok Sabha that the shortage of critical components had adversely affected the operational efficiency of the Sea King fleet and as much as 60 per cent of the helicopters had been grounded. India is one of the main customers of the Sea King Mk42s from its UK-based manufacturer, GKN Westland Helicopter Limited. Flights of the Sea King were cut down to a bare minimum and the search and rescue role taken over by the smaller, single-engined HAL Chetak helicopters. |
