INLD-Cong tug of
war over RS poll Chandigarh, June 27 Following a high drama in Delhi, the two sides are accusing each other of “kidnapping” an Independent MLA, Mr Mula Ram, who had extended support to the Congress on June 14. The ruling party alleged that Mr Mula Ram, MLA from Narnaul, was kidnapped by Mr Surender Singh, Secretary-General of the HVP, who is the husband of Congress candidate Kiran Choudhary, and Mr Karan Singh Dalal, a disqualified Congress MLA. On the other hand, Mr Dalal told TNS on the phone that Mr Mula Ram, along with his wife, Manju, had returned to Delhi from Bangalore this afternoon. While he was coming to the residence of Mr Surender Singh from the airport, INLD supporters in three vehicles tried to kidnap him in the Lodhi Garden area. Mr Dalal said following a phone call, he, along with Mr Surender Singh, immediately went to the spot of incident and brought back Mr Mula Ram and his wife to the residence of the HVP leader. Soon after there was a phone call from the Lodhi Garden police station that a complaint had been lodged against Mr Surender Singh and Mr Dalal, alleging that they had kidnapped Mr Mula Ram. An ASI of the Delhi Police, Mr Rakesh Kumar, also came to the HVP leader’s residence. Mr Dalal, who went to the police station, told the policemen to verify from Mr Mula Ram if he was kidnapped or not. Mr Dalal alleged that a media adviser of the Chief Minister was present in the police station along with a horde of mediamen. Mr Mula Ram reportedly told the Delhi police that he was at the residence of Mr Surender Singh of his free will. Following his statement the police did not take any action against Mr Surender Singh and Mr Dalal. Mr Dalal demanded that the Delhi police should take action against those who had lodged a false complaint against them as well as against those who had tried to kidnap Mr Mula Ram on behalf of the ruling party. Expressing surprise over the reports that the INLD had taken its MLAs to Goa, Mr Dalal said it must be the first incident when a ruling party in Haryana had organised “Bharat darshan” to keep its flock intact. In the past the opposition parties had been undertaking such exercises to prevent “poaching” by the ruling parties. He said it showed that Mr Om Prakash Chautala had lost the confidence of his MLAs and was keeping them in “illegal confinement”. Meanwhile, it is learnt that the ruling party MLAs would return from Goa tonight to Delhi from where they would come to Chandigarh late in the night or early morning for polling, which is scheduled tomorrow. Six MLAs, who were disqualified by the Speaker of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha, Mr Satbir Singh Kadian, on June 25, have reportedly approached the Supreme Court again, challenging the action of the Speaker. Their writ petitions are likely to come up for hearing at 10.30 am tomorrow. The polling will continue till 4 pm. Meanwhile, eight Independent MLAs, who have extended support to the Congress, have left for an undisclosed destination. A meeting of the Haryana Congress Legislature Party was held here this afternoon to chalk out a strategy for the Rajya Sabha elections. The AICC General Secretary, Mr R.K. Dhawan, came specially for the meeting. The party MLAs were told to vote fearlessly. A former Leader of the Opposition in the Haryana Assembly, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, has been nominated as the election agent of Mrs Choudhry while the officiating leader of the CLP, Capt Ajay Singh Yadav, will be her polling agent.
Entry banned The Speaker, Mr Satbir Singh Kadian, has banned the entry of MPs, former MPs and MLAs in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha building tomorrow in view of the polling for the two seats of the Rajya Sabha, according to a spokesman of the Vidhan Sabha. |

Cong-HVP alliance exposed: Chautala Sirsa, June 27 To a question about the alliance of INLD in the coming Assembly elections, he said politics was game of speculations and possibilities. The Chief Minister said the Congressmen, who talked of courting arrest on the SYL issue, not only boycotted an all-party meeting on the issue, but also did not join the delegation constituted to meet the Prime Minister in this regard. Regarding the changes being incorporated in history books, Mr Chautala said he opposed all those who want to dispose of the decisions of the previous government. The new government should formulate new public welfare policies instead, he added. He said he respected Dr Manmohan Singh but suspected that those who were exercising power through remote control would not let him work in the right direction. Earlier, he addressed party workers at the local PWD rest house and listened to the grievances of the people. |

Bibi opposed to Haryana SGPC Kaithal, June 27 She was here to
canvass for Mr Sharan Jeet Singh Sotha, SAD candidate from this area. Addressing a well-attended gathering, she said the SAD was the only body which represented the Sikhs and made sacrifices to strengthen the
Panth. She lashed out at those spreading rumours and accusing the SGPC of misappropriating funds. She said only a small amount collected in Haryana gurdwaras was sent to the SGPC which in turn spent the money not only on the maintenance of Sikh shrines but also on opening of schools, colleges and medical colleges. She said Mr Parkash Singh Badal was the undisputed leader of SAD as he enjoyed the confidence of the Sikh sangat. She said the Sikh masses were intelligent enough to under-stand the motives of all those who had recently parted ways with the SAD and chose to contest the SGPC elections under different other banners. She also criticised all those who were demanding a separate Haryana SGPC. She said that if such candidates had no faith in the SGPC, why were they contesting elections for the SGPC. She said the SAD was demanding enactment of All-India
Gurdwara Act so that more attention could be paid to the maintenance of Sikh shrines all over the country. Jathedar Mohar Singh, Jathedar Dar Chuhar Singh, Mr Jagtar Singh Pehowa, Mr Sukhbir Singh Mandi and Mr Harpal Singh Cheeka were other prominent leaders who addressed this gathering. |
