FIR against Mamata for
inciting mob CALCUTTA, May 25 — An FIR was lodged with the local police station today on behalf of the CPM against Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee for inciting mob at Keshpur the stronghold of the CPM. The State Transport Minister, Mr Sushanta Ghosh, and Mr Lakshman Seth, MP, also lodged formal complaints with the Chief Election Commissioner, Mr M.S. Gill and Chief Minister, Jyoti Basu separately against the Railway Minister, holding her responsible for lawlessness in Keshpur and other areas of the Panskura Lok Sabha seat, where a by-election is slated for June 5. The 12-hour bandh called by the West Bengal Congress to protest against the state’s deteriorating law and order situation, particularly at Keshpur, passed off peacefully though there were reports of stones throwing. The response was partial. The Trinamool Congress, the BJP and Left Front parties opposed the bandh initially called for 24-hours but later shortened to 12 hours. The Railway Minister returned to the city early this morning from Keshpur after visiting areas hit by clashes between the CPM and Trinamool workers. Over 18 persons were killed in the past two days in Keshpur-Panskura areas in clashes between the CPM and Trinamool Congress. The Trinamool Congress will observe a protest and condemnation day tomorrow against "armed attacks" on Trinamool Congress supporters. Deputy Chief Minister, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya said there was no response to the bandh call. Some 300 persons were arrested from different places for obstructing traffic. Ten were hurt in stone throwing. Buses, trams, taxis and mini-buses plied as normal while shops, markets and other establishments were open. Train services in both Sealdah and Howrah divisions were delayed due to obstructions by bandh supporters. Mr Bhattacharya himself was obstructed while going from his south Calcutta residence to Writers Buildings in the morning. The police, however, cleared the obstruction and arrested seven persons on the spot. Chief Public Relation Officer of Eastern Railway, Mr Kausik Mukherjee said train services, both long-distance and mail trains, were affected by obstructions. He, however, said there would be no re-scheduling of mail and long-distance trains leaving Howrah and Sealdah, though some trains might be delayed. PTI adds: A report from Siliguri said there was partial response in the six districts of north Bengal. No untoward incident was reported from anywhere, official sources said. Siliguri was peaceful with state government offices reporting normal attendance. The sources, however, said educational institutions and business establishments remained closed. According to district authorities, the bandh had no impact in the three hill sub-divisions of Darjeeling and Cooch Behar district, barring Haldibari. The bandh had partial
affect at Haldibar with some shops and establishments
remaining closed. Private vehicles were off the roads. |
Dikshit files suit against Verma NEW DELHI, May 25 — The Delhi Chief Minister, Mrs Sheila Dikshit, has filed a defamation suit for a token amount of Re 1 against former Delhi Chief Minister and MP Sahib Singh Verma in the Delhi High Court. Mrs Dikshit has filed the suit after the complaint filed by Mr Verma alleging corruption charges against her was "dismissed" by the Lok Ayukta. The Delhi Chief Minister has moved the court as "great damage had been caused to her reputation by Mr Verma’s allegations." The Lok Ayukta, Mr R. N. Aggarwal, dismissing the complaint observed, "Mr Sahib Singh Verma had filed the complaint merely on the basis of press reports and made no attempt to verify the correctness of these reports." "No details or particulars of the alleged acts of corruption have been given," he observed. The former Delhi Chief Minister filed the complaint after a section of Congress MLAs and senior leaders of the Delhi unit of the party levelled allegations of corruption against Mrs Dikshit. The suit filed by the Chief Minister stated that "Mr Sahib Singh had been willfully making these imputations with a view to lower my reputation among the people." "The impugned imputations have directly caused Mrs Dikshit substantial and irreparable loss, damage and injury. The damage has been caused as a direct and proximate result of the said imputation of Mr Sahib Singh. The injury is huge and gigantic," the suit said. The suit said "by the said objectionable imputations Mr Sahib Singh has invaded Mrs Dikshit’s right to enjoyment of her reputation. There exists no standard for ascertaining the actual damage caused or likely to be caused by the former Delhi Chief Minister’s invasion, which is such that compensation in money could not afford adequate relief." She urged the court to
pass a decree of permanent prohibitory injunction
restraining Mr Sahib Singh from in any manner directly or
indirectly making or causing to be made or getting any
allegation or imputation of corruption or wrong-doings
published against Mrs Dikshit. |
Sonia for new law on SC quota NEW DELHI, May 25 (PTI) — Congress President Sonia Gandhi today demanded a new legislation for reservation for SCs and STs to overcome the difficulties faced by the backward communities in the existing reservation policy. "Our demand is for enacting a new legislation to remove the difficulties faced by the SCs and STs community with regard to the present reservation policy", she said while addressing the 34th national convention of the All-India Safai Mazdoor Congress (AISMC) here. Assailing the NDA government’s reservation policy, she said the five official memoranda of the Central Government were against the very spirit of the reservation policy guaranteed to the community in the Constitution. She charged the government with trying to cover its "all-round failure" and to divert the attention of the people from the real issues. "The appointment of a panel to review the Constitution was one such decision by this government", she said, adding that the Congress will not allow this government to "play with the Constitution" framed by illustrious men, including Mr B.R. Ambedkar. Hitting out at the Vajpayee government’s alleged anti-poor and anti-people policies, she said "a government which cannot protect the interests of the poorest of the people has no moral right to continue in office". Declaring his party’s unqualified support to safai mazdoors, Ms Gandhi said she would continue to follow the footsteps of former Prime Ministers Jawahar Lal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi in fulfilling the aspirations of these people. She said her party had an "emotional" relationship with the Safai Mazdoor Congress as it was closer to its ideology and programmes. "We cannot see ourselves separately as it was directly related to the traditions and ideology of the Congress", she said and lauded Mahatma Gandhi for launching "Antyodaya" programme for the uplift of the poor. She said the Congress gave utmost attention to their uplift and the first amendment in the Constitution was the removal of "untouchability". "I wanted to continue the tradition", she said adding that it was the reason why she initiated changes in the party constitution giving 33 per cent and 20 per cent reservation to women and backward sections in the organisational set-up. The convention organised by party leader Buta Singh was also attended by AICC General Secretary S.K. Shinde, AICC spokesmen Ajit Jogi, Anil Shastri, Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dixit, her Cabinet colleagues and party MLAs besides a large number of safai mazdoors from all over the country. Earlier, the convention passed a 10-point resolution with regard to the overall development of the safai mazdoors in the country. The resolution also demanded withdrawal of the Constitution review panel and religious places Bill in Uttar Pradesh. Besides, the resolution also sought amendment in the existing reservation law, housing schemes, special judicial courts to deal with the cases regarding SCs and STs and opposition to the ongoing privatisation of economy. Supporting the
resolutions, senior party leaders Sushil Kumar Shinde,
Ajit Jogi, Delhi Minister Krishna Tirath assailed the
Centre’s policies in this regard. and demanded that
the Vajpayee government should withdraw these decisions. |

Lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri dead MUMBAI, May 25 (UNI) — Poet and film lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri and the man who gave the progressive movement of the Indian Left its war cry, died of a lung disease late last night. The 78-year-old, who was honoured with Indian cinema’s highest award — the Dadasaheb Phalke — a few years back, leaves behind his wife, son and a daughter. The end came at the Leelavati Hospital where he was admitted 10 days back with complications of the lungs. One of the greatest poets in the Urdu language since the time of Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Majrooh was especially famous for his romantic lyrics in dialogue form. He won immediate acclaim with his very first film "Shahjehan" for songs like "Jab usne gesu bikhraye" and "Gum diya mustakil". He went on to write the lyrics for around 350 films in a career spanning 50 years. The all time favourites from his pen include: "Haal kaisa hai janaab ka" from the film "Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi" and "Chod do aanchal zamaana kya kahega" from the film "Nau Do Gyarah". Majrooh’s latest work was for the film "Hum To Mohabbat Karega", which is ready for release. Other than being a great lyricist Majrooh was also a noted Urdu poet and had written many books. His poem: "Main akela hi chala tha, jaanib-e-manzil magar/log saath aate gaye aur kaarvan banta gaya" was picked up as its war cry by the progressive movement of the Indian Left. It was, however, the film world that gave him fame. He worked with almost all music directors in Bollywood, including Chitragupt and later his sons Anand-Milind, S.D. Burman and R.D. Burman, Rajesh Roshan and O.P. Nayyar. Among his famous films were "Aarti" and "Bheegi Raat" for music director Roshan in which songs like "Aap ne yaad dilaya to mujhe yaad aaya", "Kabhi to milegi baharon ki manzil raahee" and "Dil jo na keh saka wahi raaz-e-dil" proved to be superhits. NEW DELHI: The Prime
Minister, Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee, on Thursday described
lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri, who passed away late last
night, as a poet who enthralled the people with his
compositions for years. |
SC stays Allahabad HC judgement NEW DELHI, May 25 (UNI) — The Supreme Court has stayed a judgement of the Allahabad High Court issuing certain guidelines for the transfer and posting of officers of the state. The interim stay was granted by a vacation Bench comprising Mr Justice V.N. Khare and Mr Justice A.T. Misra while issuing notice on a special leave petition filed by the state government against the impugned judgement. By the impugned judgement, the high court directed that there should be some specific period say, three years, before which no officer should be transferred. "If an officer has any grievance against his transfer, then he can note a representation to the Chief Secretary and he has to dispose of his representation within six weeks. A civil service board shall be constituted within two months to deal with the transfer and posting of Class-I officers of the state", the high court said in the impugned judgement. Earlier, it was contended by Mr Ajay Agrawal, standing counsel for the state, that the directions issued by the high court were violative of Article 154, 163 and 166 of the Constitution as the powers of transfers and postings have been vested in the Governor who could allocate them to the ministers concerned. The high court
judgement, resubmitted, was, therefore, illegal as the
high court has no power to issue such direction which
comes under the policy matters of the state. |

Maneka moots plan for disabled NEW DELHI, May 25 — The Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Mrs Maneka Gandhi, today said her ministry would evolve a training schedule in consultation with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) to train 23,000 doctors working in primary health centres across the country. The minister said 2000 doctors who had attended the training programme initiated by the RCI will now equipped to provide preliminary counselling and ensure that the disabled get proper treatment. She said the trained doctors could also play an important role in educating the poor and illiterate on different aspects of disability and ensure that people come forward for timely intervention. Mrs Gandhi was speaking at the inauguration of the conference of state secretaries and co ordinators of implementing agencies of the national programme of orientation of medical officers working in primary health centres. The minister said over 70 per cent of the 50 million persons with disabilities lived in the rural areas and the biggest challenge was to ensure delivery of services close to their doorstep. Mrs Gandhi appreciated the efforts of the state Health Secretaries for lending support in the implementation of the programme. She said the pace of implementation of the programme had been encouraging in Punjab, Haryana, Assam, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The minister also released a catalogue of teaching learning material for children with special needs. Principal Scientific Adviser to the government, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam made a presentation on an experimental model to empower healthcare system with technology. He said the model
proposed a three pronged strategy: repair, augment and
make operational selective equipment in hospitals,
develop modular advanced treatment facilities attached to
speciality hospitals that could be taken to distant
places and commercialise affordable options of new
generation drugs and biological materials available
through various trans-national individual and
institutional collaborations. The model also proposed a
satellite communication based network connecting distant
healthcare centres for exchange of clinical data and
centralised replenishment of hospital inventories. |
Labourers fall victims to thugs SHAMLI (MUZAFFAR-NAGAR), May 25 — A gang of thugs is on the prowl on the Ludhiana-Saharanpur railway line. During the past week, over three dozen Behari labourers have been victims of this gang, according to official police sources. The sources told TNS today that last night, Behari labourers were looted in the Barauni-Amritsar Express between Ludhiana and Saharanpur. The police maintained that in last night’s incident, over three dozen Behari labourers who were on their way back to their homes in Bihar were looted by this gang after they fell unconscious on being administered some poisonous substance in biscuits. The Behari labourers were deprived of cash and goods worth over Rs 2 lakh by these thugs. Last night’s incident is the second one during the last week. The Behari labourers who were administered poisonous substance were admitted to Government Hospital in Saharanpur in a semi-conscious state. The incident reflects poorly on the ‘bandobast’ of the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Punjab, Haryana and even Uttar Pradesh on the railway line between Ludhiana and Saharanpur. The police maintained that on the Amritsar-Barauni Express (No. 5210), this group of thugs had looted over three dozen Behari labourers of cash and goods worth several lakhs. Today, 20 Behari labourers, who were in a semi-conscious state, were taken off the train at Saharanpur. Likewise, over half a dozen such passengers were taken off the train yesterday and admitted to the Civil Hospital. As the Barauni Express reached the Saharanpur railway station, the GRP was informed about the presence of some passengers in the train who were unconscious. As the GRP jawans entered the train, they found about 20 Behari labourers in an unconscious state. They were taken to the hospital immediately. As per the GRP version in Shamli, the Behari labourers were given some biscuits to eat by unidentified passengers in the train between Phagwara and Jalandhar. Immediately, after consuming biscuits, the labourers fell unconscious. The thugs took away their goods and cash. Nobody knows at which station the group of thugs disembarked from the train. Even the exact number of the group of thugs is not known. But the police maintained that the group may comprise about six thugs. Similarly, yesterday also about six Behari labourers were found unconscious in the Barauni-Amritsar Express at Saharanpur railway station. These people who were admitted to the hospital yesterday regained consciousness by last evening. They informed the police that they were given some biscuits to eat as ‘prashad’ and after consuming, they fell unconscious. However, it is ‘sheer negligence’ on part of the GRP units of Punjab and Haryana that they could not find out how the Behari labourers had been looted. The two incidents during the past two days are not isolated. Investigations made by this reporter indicate that after the reaping of the kharif crop and transplantation of paddy in Punjab is over, Behari labourers, who came in thousands as casual labour to Punjab, become frequent victims of such gangs operating on trains. Police sources also maintained that such incidents cannot take place until and unless the constabulary of the GRP on duty was not in hand and glove with the thugs. Despite concrete evidence and information of the existence of such gangs on trains, the GRP has not taken adequate measures to save the poor Behari labourers from being looted. No special task force
has either been put on duty either in Punjab or in
Haryana or even in Uttar Pradesh to ensure the safety of
such passengers. The looted labourers, some of whom have
been identified as Ganesh, Raju, Phula Dev, Ashok,
Naresh, Pramod, Nagender, Rajinder and Sanjeev, lamented
that they did not even have enough money to buy railway
tickets from Saharanpur to their homes. |
CBI to hold seminar on cyber
crime NEW DELHI, May 25 — The CBI has decided to take the lead in preparing the country to tackle cyber crimes and will hold a one-day seminar next month. In an informal chat with correspondents, the CBI Director, Mr R. K. Raghavan, said two bureau officers had undergone training at the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the USA. The CBI, he said, plans to compile the available information on a CD-ROM which could be circulated easily to the police in all states. "The CBI should be providing leadership and disseminating information on how to tackle cyber crimes’’ Mr Raghavan said. He said in order to create awareness in the country among the police, the CBI had decided to organise a seminar on information technology at its academy at Ghaziabad. The seminar will be attended by experts in the field and police from different states, especially on the clause of policing in the new IT Bill. Earlier, this month the first-ever Information Technology Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha which has certain clauses on policing. He said the officers of the CBI, who had undergone training on the subject would in turn be training other officers. Mr Raghavan said the CBI
would also hold a study group within the bureau to spread
awareness in the office about it. |
