BKU to hold rally on December 8 Jind, November 28 The BKU leaders sought the release of all farmers and BKU leaders arrested by the police. They said the BKU leaders were not released they would intensify their agitation. The future course of agitation would be
announced at Shahjadpur rally of December 8, they said.

Mr Mohinder Singh Ghimana presided over the meeting. The BKU workers from surrounding areas of Kandela village also attended the meeting. Mr Mohinder Singh alleged that the government had failed to fully implement the agreement reached between the office-bearers of the BKU and representatives of the Haryana Government at Jind a few months ago. He said it was one of the conditions in the agreement that the government would withdraw all cases registered against the BKU leaders in connection with their agitation. But now the police was arresting BKU leaders on the basis of old cases. He said this amounted to violation of the agreement. The government had also failed to give compensation to those farmers who were injured during the BKU agitation at Jind about 5 months ago, he added. He demanded that the agreement should be fully implemented. |

Temple attack ‘assault on secularism’ Yamunanagar, November 28 Mr Sharma said the inhuman attack on the Raghunath Temple by two Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists on November 24 in which 12 devotees were killed and 60 were injured, was an attack on secularism. Besides, it hurt the sentiments of secularism. Besides, it hurt sentiments of Hindus all over the country. He said in Pakistan the self-appointed President Pervez Musharraf had virtually imposed marshal law again under the garb of puppet government. As such the danger of escalation of cross-border terrorism could not be ruled out. Moreover, there were more than 100 terrorists of the Al-Qaida in the country who could strike any time on the instructions of Pakistan-based terrorist organisations or the ISI. Mr Sharma said withdrawal of the Army from the borders of Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat and the Special Operation Group (SPG) from Jammu and Kashmir could prove suicidal at this juncture and needed reconsideration. |

HIGH COURT Chandigarh, November 28 Issuing the directions, the Bench, comprising Mr Justice S.S. Nijjar and Mr Justice M.M. Kumar, ruled: “By order dated May 22, this year, without finally expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the respondents were directed to pay Rs 15,000 each to the petitioner within four weeks. Till today, not a single penny has been paid by the respondents to the petitioner. Rather, counsel appearing on their behalf has submitted that they have not been able to arrange the money for payment to the petitioner”. The Judges added: “We have been informed that during the pendency of the criminal appeal, they have been directed to be released on bail. They all have been granted bail. We are of the considered opinion that the respondents are prima facie liable to be proceeded against for committing contempt of Court. We are also of the opinion that a notice needs to be issued to the convicted rapists as to why the bail granted to them should be not cancelled”. Compensation sought If allegations in a writ petition filed before the Punjab and Haryana High Court are to be believed, three Gurgaon district residents were forced to walk down the roads and streets with placards hanging around their necks accusing them of being gamblers and drunkards following their failure to wash the clothes of policemen. Taking up the petition filed by Tara Chand and two others for declaring the action of respondents illegal and unconstitutional, a Division Bench of the High Court, comprising Mr Justice S.S. Nijjar and Mr Justice M.M. Kumar, fixed December 10 as the next date of hearing in the case. The three had earlier alleged that a day after a case was registered against them under the Gambling Act in October 2000, they were paraded with the placards hanging around their necks announcing that the three were “thieves, rascals, gamblers and drunkards”. Seeking the award of compensation, their counsel had added on their behalf that the reputation of the petitioners had been tarnished and the three had been insulted. |
