Cong govt in Haryana will help settle issues: Amarinder
Lehra Mohobbat/Barnala, February 28 Capt Amarinder Singh said while the issue pertaining to the completion of the SYL, canal would be settled as per the decision of the apex court where the matter was sub judiced, the other issues pertaining to the transfer of Punjabi-speaking areas and Chandigarh to Punjab would be settled through negotiations with the party concerned and with the help of Congress-led UPA government at the Centre. The Chief Minister, who was here to lay the foundation stone of the stage-II of Guru Hargobind Thermal Plant (GHTP), said in a democratic set up the matters could be solved through talks and negotiations and hence he would make efforts to settle down all the outstanding issues at the earliest. While talking to mediapersons, he said to provide cheaper and continuous electricity to people, the unbundling of the Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB) in three parts was in its final stage. While the private parties would be invited to participate in its generation part, the transmission and distribution would be kept intact. Some private and public sector concerns had been identified by the PSEB authorities for bringing them into power generation. “I would like to make it clear that no employee of the PSEB will be retrenched or displaced after the PSEB is unbundled,” he pointed out, adding that the PSEB had been talking with the Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal governments to set up hydel projects with them in joint venture. About 4500 MW more electricity would be available to Punjab by the end of next Five Year Plan, he added. The Chief Minister said a two-member panel sent by the Election Commission to the Ajnala Assembly segment in connection with the complaints about the poll process had given its report that election had been held in free and fair manner. He said though the Election Commission had ordered repoll in 14 booths, the authorities would do the same as per the directions. While expressing his displeasure over the delay caused by the authorities in conducting the trials of BT cotton, the Chief Minister said he had called a meeting of the agencies concerned in the first week of March and he hoped that BT cotton was likely to be introduced in Punjab in the current year. He added that he was surprised that when BT cotton was being cultivated in all states of country then why Punjab was being denied the same facility. To a question, he said the Punjab government was trying to replace the octroi with some other sort of tax. To another question, he said he would not like to make any comment on the repeated statements of Mr Jagmeet Singh Brar. He added that the demand of expulsion of Mr Brar from the party by dubbing him a Khalistan supporter, raised by Punjab Finance Minister, Mr Surinder Singla, was his (Mr Singla’s) own view and he had nothing to do with the same. The Chief Minister said he would visit Pakistan in March to make the relations of India and Pakistan more cordial and to work out a strategy to increase trade between the two countries through the Punjab border. He said that he would ask Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh to take up the matter pertaining to the propaganda of Khalistan being done by the Pakistani radio, whenever he (Prime Minister) met his Pakistani counterpart. Earlier, while addressing a state-level function organised in connection to mark the completion of three years of the Congress government in Punjab and to mark the laying of foundation stone of stage-11 of the GHTP here, the Chief Minister said he had asked Mr Y.S. Ratra, Chairman, PSEB, to make arrangements to give compensation to those farmers whose agriculture lands had been acquired for the project as per the decision of Punjab and Haryana High Court at the earliest. He added that apart from it, the PSEB would give job to one member of each family, which had been affected due to the acquisition of land for the project. The families would be given power connections for their tube well motors on priority basis. Capt Amarinder Singh further said he had no dispute either with Haryana or its Chief Minister Om Parkash Chautala, except for the protection of Punjab waters, which he had done by getting the Termination of Agreements Act passed in the Punjab Assembly. He said this after inaugurating the Rs 350 crore Terry Towel Plant of Abhishek Industries Limited, a concern of Trident Group, here today. This plant is now ranked amongst the top five terry towel plants in the world.

Badal decries Budget as anti-farmer, anti-employee
Chandigarh, February 28 In a joint press note, Mr Badal and the general secretary of the SAD and former Punjab Finance Minister, Capt Kanwaljit Singh, said the Union Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, had made his intention clear in his Budget speech to do away the procurement of food grains and also the fixing of minimum support price. Both Akali leaders said any step taken by the Union Government in this regard would be opposed by their party. Mr Badal said some pro- people policies started by the previous NDA government had been thrown in the dustbin by the UPA government. By removing the provision of standard deduction, which were available to employees to save income tax, the Union Finance Minister had hit employees hard. He had closed all doors for savings which employees used to make under the provisions of standard deduction. The Akali leaders said the most shocking was the new proposal that those withdrawing Rs 10,000 in a day from their accounts in banks would have to pay tax. Mr Chidambaram had claimed that this step had been taken to check black money. The Akali leaders said Mr Chidambaram should be aware that money kept in banks by people was white money. They could be asked the source of such money any time as its entries were available in bank records and ledgers. No one keeps black money in banks and put it on record of banks. No provision in the Budget had been kept for diversification in agriculture, food processing and encouraging new research in the farming sector. “All talk about boosting the agriculture sector was meaningless in absence of budgetary provisions,” the Akali leaders said. While the Union Government had made provision of special package for states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal, states like Punjab, which had been feeding the country, had been completely ignored by the Centre, the Akali leaders added.

Another worry for Sikhs on turban issue
Chandigarh, February 28 As France is an important player in the European Union, apprehension among European Sikhs is growing that France may get the same provision of ban incorporated in the European Constitution, that is under preparation at present. After a debate among the member countries of the European Union(EU), the common Constitution by the EU is to be adopted next year. In fact, the French President, Mr Jacques Chirac, has been authorised to decide dates for referendum on the European Constitution. “Sikhs should be prepared to face another challenge as there is all possibility that France may try its best to get the legal provisions with regard the turban incorporated in the European Constitution”, says Dr M.S. Rahi, a Supreme Court advocate, who has been to France recently and is preparing the petition to file the case in the European Human Rights Commission and the European Court of Justice for the removal of ban on turban. Dr Rahi says certain Sikh organisations have been diluting the turban issue in France. He says setting up a school by Sikhs in France is not an issue, but the issue is the turban. “Suppose, If tomorrow any other country, following the footsteps of France, imposes a similar ban, what will Sikhs do? Will they open another school in that country? In how many countries will Sikhs set up separate schools for their own children,” he asks. He says if the French Government can impose a ban on turban, it can also deny permission to Sikhs to set up a school, which will be difficult as requisite number of students in each class, as per legal provisions of France, will not be available. While granting permission, the French Government can also put the rider that the school will have to be run as per the existing legal provisions of the French law, he adds. Will it be advisable to provide Sikh students education in isolation by separating them from mainstream French schools, he questiones. Dr Rahi says Sikhs should fight a legal battle and mobilise public opinion at all important world forums against the ban imposed by the French Government. “That will be the right course”, he adds.

Canada more liberal than France: Sikh Judge
Amritsar, February 28 He said all Sikh prisoners in Canada are provided with “keski” (small turban) whenever they appear in court in adherence with his religious traditions. Mr Chandhoke was here to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple today. About the positive approach of Canada, the Sikh judge said the Ontario court adopted a new reformatory stance in dealing with drug users that were menace to society there. The new stance by the Canadian government gave option to the drug users, and not drug peddlers, to enrol themselves in de-addiction centres under court observation. Mr Chandhoke, honoured with “Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee Award” by Canada last year and a special recognition award that year for distinguished service to the province for 25 years, said the only drawback that India faced was the lack of effective implementation of plans.

International flights keep Punjab airspace busy
Chandigarh, February 28 According to sources, the new Air Traffic Service (ATS) route is used by aircraft flying in from the Gulf and Central Asian countries overflying Indian territory on their way to East Asia. Though exact statistics are unavailable, sources in the aviation sector say that on some days at least 10 international flights pass over Chandigarh. Besides international air traffic, the airspace over Chandigarh has also witnessed a significant increase in domestic traffic over the past few years. Aircraft flying west touch Saharanpur before overflying Chandigarh. The next checkpoint in Nakodar, referred to as LAKET on the charts, before the aircraft enter Pakistani airspace and make contact at Samar, south of Lahore. From Samar the route splits into different directions. The minimum altitude to be maintained on this route by international overhead traffic is 30,000 feet and aircraft using this flight path do not touch down at any Indian airport. India has air services agreement with 100 countries, though only 52 countries have aircraft operating from India. This is the second international ATS route passing over Punjab, the other stipulated route being over Moga (ASARI). This, however, is little used. The new route was introduced to segregate air traffic passing over Delhi from that was bound for Delhi, sources said. With increase in operations by domestic and foreign operators, the airspace over Delhi is said to be overcrowded. Often aircraft have to circle overhead for a long time before permission is granted by air traffic control (ATC) to land. Though ATC services as well as advanced navigational aids are available in Chandigarh, international overhead traffic is controlled by the Delhi ATC, which is the designated controlling authority for international air traffic in the western region. Foreign airliners do not make contact with Chandigarh airfield. Most of the overhead international traffic is at night. A Very High Frequency Omni-directional Radio Beacon (VOR) was set up by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) at Chandigarh a few years ago. This is a very accurate navigational aid, but is switched on by the AAI for a limited period each day when some commercial flights operate from the civilian terminal. Switching it on for 24 hours, sources said, would benefit not only the international traffic, but also other civilian, government and air force aircraft operating in the region.

Khalra’s widow wants to save Gill, alleges witness
Tarn Taran, February 28 In a recorded interview, the SPO, who is in hiding, said he would go to Akal Takht tomorrow for “ardas”. He alleged that Mrs Khalra and persons surrounding her were compelling him not to name Gill during his next appearance in the court. The Patiala court has already issued non-bailable warrants against Kuldip Singh. The CBI has been asked to produce the SPO on March 2 in the court. The SPO, while deposing before the court, had alleged that Gill had met Khalra a few days before the Punjab Police killed him. He alleged that Khalra was killed by a group of Punjab Police personnel in 1995 and his body was thrown into a canal. Kuldip had also accused some other police officers of their involvement in the crime. However, Parmjit Kaur Khalra, widow of Khalra, denied that she was trying to save Gill. She said she would make all out efforts to see Gill in the dock and ensure that he was prosecuted. She said Kuldip Singh should give account in the court of whatever he had witnessed and not act like a “leader”. Mrs Khalra said she had already sacrificed her university job and would not rest till the accused were brought to justice. She said a certain lobby wanted to defame her. Kuldip Singh alleged that the CBI had not yet given him an award of Rs 1 lakh announced for giving information on the killing of Khalra.

Jagmeet loyalists dub Singla communal
Bathinda, February 28 While senior Congress leader and former chairman, Punjab Communication Limited (PCL), Mr Kulbir Singh Sidhu, claimed that Mr Singla had labelled Mr Brar as “Khalistani” as he (Mr Singla) did not relish his (Mr Brar) love for Punjab’s issue, another senior leader, Mr Gurdas Girdhar, dubbed Mr Singla of an agent of business tycoons. A section of the Congress leaders today held press conferences, meetings and passed resolutions and issued press notes to express their reaction to the statement of Mr Singla made at Chandigarh yesterday in which he demanded expulsion of Mr Brar from the party for his support to the cause of creation of “Khalistan.” While Mr Girdhar demanded that a CBI probe should be conducted into the disproportionate assets acquired by Mr Singla by acting as an agent of various companies, Mr Sidhu alleged that Mr Singla was trying to create communal trouble in Punjab where the peace was won by making thousands of sacrifices by the Congressmen and other people. Mr Sidhu alleged that Mr Singla tried to trigger communal riots in Punjab. Not only this, Mr Singla tried his best to create a wedge between commission agents and farmers for his vested interests. He further alleged that Mr Singla had started “saffronisation” of the Congress Party as he (Mr Singla) had been hating those party workers who used turban as headgear. Mr Singla also opposed AICC chief Sonia Gandhi by throwing his weight with late Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao. He said that Mr Singla should tell the people about his relations with former Union Minister Maneka Gandhi and SAD MP Sukhbir Badal with whom he (Mr Singla) had been meeting secretly.

Hanspal writes to Sonia on party wranglings
Phillaur, February 28 Talking to this correspondent here today, Mr Hanspal said he urged the Congress high command to restrain them from giving such statements in media, which could harm the party and its discipline. He advised all senior Congress leaders not to go to media to highlight their personal differences. When asked,whether he will take any disciplinary action against the leaders for disobeying his guidelines, Mr Hanspal said party rules did not allow him to take any action. When asked about a separate Sikh school being opened by the Sikh community in France, after a ban on the wearing of turban by Sikh students in France, Mr Hanspal alleged that the real issue was to take permission for turban in France schools, but Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) could not do much for the issue. Mr Hanspaul, however, refused to comment on the controversy risen between Malerkotla MLA Razia Sultana and IPS officer Izhar Alam and said he had received the versions of both sides and would decide on the issue after the completion of the Ajnala byelections. He described the Union Budget as the best presented in the last few years.

Councillors come out in support of Health Officer
Patiala, February 28 A section of the employees have been holding protests against the Health Officer after the death of a sweeper Devraj who was transferred to the job of cleaning the ‘ganda nala’ by the Health Officer. The employees have alleged that the sweeper was victimised and that Dr Karamjit should be personally held responsible for the death and a police case should be registered against him. The councillors today appealed to Patiala MP Preneet Kaur not to be swayed by the protest by a section of employees claiming that these employees were leading an agitation against the Health Officer because they were being investigated on charges of wrong doing by him. The councillors said the investigation had been thrust upon the Health Officer by the Municipal Commissioner and that this fact was not to the liking of the “corrupt” employees. Giving details of the case, the councillors said there were complaints about the sweeper from the residents of Rajpura Colony where he was earlier stationed that he was collecting Rs 50 as bribe from each household. The councillors said the sweeper was warned about this and even admitted his fault. However, they said, when Devraj did not mend his ways he was transferred to do duty on cleaning of the ‘ganda nala’. They said it was during this duty that he was injured when he stepped on a poisonous substance and had to be first admitted to the Government Rajindra Hospital and when gangrene set in his wound he was referred to the PGI at Chandigarh where he died. The councillors said it was a natural occurrence and no motive could be attributed to the Health Officer for the death of the employee.

Patiala, February 28 The strike by the students, which is being spearheaded by the Students Federation of India (SFI), today saw the students reaching the office of the Dean, (Academics) of the university after lodging their protest in front of the main gate of the college. SFI state joint secretary Ravinder Singh Nathumajra in a statement here said the college authorities were not allowing the students to even drink water from the college premises.

Mr Nathumajra said the Dean (Academics) had earlier also been apprised of the position and had even assured that the issue would be resolved by February 24. He said the university had already served a legal notice on the college which did not have the requisite facilities and that in case the college did not fufil the conditions it could be derecognised. He said now the SFI had again requested the university to intervene to resolve the matter. He said if this was not done, the students would further intensify their strike.
