Upset Chander Mohan for dissolution of MC
Panchkula, January 13 "I don't think we need a municipal council in Panchkula, but we can't have different policies for different districts," he said while addressing a press conference here, indicating that he was unhappy with the happenings in the House chaired by the president, Ms Manvir Gill. Replying to a question, the Deputy Chief Minister said that the inquiries initiated at various levels of the Administration would take their own course and those found guilty of corruption in carrying out development works would be punished. District Congress president Om Prakash Devinagar, too, minced no words in condemning the municipal council president's husband, Mr Kulwant Gill, for abusing and threatening contractors, journalists and fellow councillors at the drop of hat. "We will summon him and ask him to explain his behaviour. Also, he cannot be allowed to operate on behalf of his wife, who is the MC president. We will act on the basis of his statement," Mr Devinagar said. Sources in the district Congress also added that the party's dissociation from Mr Gill and her husband was indicative that her days as president of the House were numbered. "The Deputy Commissioner has to send her report to the government which can recommend the dissolution of the House. Given the present state of affairs, it seems only a matter of a few days before action is initiated in this regard," a local Congress leader said. In yet another controversy involving the municipal council president's husband, Mr Kulwant Gill, the BJP councillor, Mr V.K. Sood, alleged that the former threatened him and used abusive language. Ms Manvir Gill, in a complaint to the police, made similar allegations against Mr Sood. Councillor V.K.Sood said that he went to the MC office and met the Executive Officer to know the status of pending payments to be made for park maintenance. "He told me that the
Mr Sood added that he left the office after the conversation. However, the councillor was called back inside by the EO, who said there was a call on the latter’s mobile for Mr Sood. “The caller said that he was Mr Kulwant Gill and that he would take me to task for calling up the MC president and asking her to clear payments due to the park maintenance committee. Without provocation, he began abusing me and threatened me with dire consequences,” Mr Sood alleged. Mr Sood also met the Deputy Commissioner, Ms Neerja Rajashekhar, and the Superintendent of Police, Mr Balbir Singh, to register a case against Mr Gill. “The police must ask the mobile companies for the conversations details,” Mr Sood claimed. Meanwhile, the MC president said that Mr Sood, irked by the warm reception given to her during a recent visit to his ward by the people, had concocted the story. “He spoke to me, he used abusive language and threatened me before going to the Administration to lodge his protest. He did this after he realised that I had complained to the police against him,” she said. Clarifying the call on the EO’s mobile, she said that Mr Gill frequently talks to the EO and Mr Sood has no proof of the call. “I have proof that he called me at 11:01 a.m. on my mobile number,” she said.

‘YouTube Gandhi: It’s for nation to decide’
Chandigarh, January 13 Stating this after presiding over a function at KB DAV School here , Ms Tara Gandhi Bhattacharjee, grand-daughter of Mahatma Gandhi, today reaffirmed the principles espoused by her grandfather throughout his life. “Non-violence is not only action and introspection. It means much more. It is the courage of truth with love,” she said. Mrs Bhattacharjee was reacting to reports that a New York-based NRI had posted clippings on a website showing Mahatma Gandhi as a pole dancer clutching an AK-47 rifle. “I am the grand-daughter of Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi, not of Mahatma Gandhi. He attained the title of Mahatma by practising spiritualism, courage, truth, and non-violence. The world today is in desperate need of these important ingredients of life,” she said. Commenting on the Sanjay Dutt starrer “Lage Raho Munna Bhai”, she said: “Though I have not seen the film but I have read its reviews. I see no harm in using the word ‘Gandhigiri’ for the philosophy of Gandhi. It is an appreciable endeavour on the part of the movie makers to spread the message of peace and non-violence.” Mrs Tara Gandhi, daughter of the late Mr Devadas Gandhi and Mrs Lakshmi Devdas Gandhi, was born in Delhi on April 24, 1934. Mr Devdas Gandhi was the youngest son of Mahatma Gandhi and Mrs Lakshmi Devdas Gandhi was the youngest daughter of Mr C. Rajgopalachari, the first Governor General of India. Having graduated from Delhi University, Mrs Gandhi spent some time in Rabindranath Tagore’s Santiniketan in the University of Visva Bharati in Bengal. Later, she spent several years with her husband, the late Dr Jyoti Prasad Bhattacharjee, and their two children, daughter Sukanya and son Vinayak, in Rome. Dr Jyoti Prasad Bhattacharjee was a Director at the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. Mrs Gandhi has also been appointed as Vice-Chairperson of Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti. Fluent in several foreign and Indian languages, she taught Hindi to Indian children and was directly involved in promoting Indian culture in Italy. As per family traditions, she has been working for the welfare of spinners and weavers. “The hand-spun and hand-woven cloth called ‘khadi’
is a thread of creation. Being a source of bread and beauty to millions in India , a hand-spinning wheel is also a meditational therapy. The world again needs to get acquainted with the fabulous texture of the handspun fabric and the hand-spinning wheel.” She promoted the idea of ‘khadi’ for Italians through articles, interviews and TV programmes. Travelling all over India, she has taken the message and philosophy of the spinning wheel and ‘khadi’ to Austria, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Canada, France, Ghana, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mauritius, Pakistan, Portugal and Uruguay. She has organised several exhibitions and workshops of ‘khadi’ at these places. She was a member of the All-India Khadi and Village Industries Commission of the Government of India for five years. The Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Trust, Indore, brings Tara close to the needy women and children of rural India. She has approached the establishment for help to the needy victims through work and finances. As the Vice-Chairperson of the Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Trust, she organised shelter and work for nearly 50 victims of the Gujarat violence. “ It was the charm of celebrating Lohri in Punjab which tempted me to come here. After a day, I will be going to see the Amritsar branch of this trust for the first time.” “The world is passing through dreadful and violent times. Somewhere, someone will have to give up the idea of taking revenge. We have to break this chain of continuous violence. Fear and love do not go together. Non-violence is fearlessness.”

Voters not interested in I-cards
Mohali, January 13 Officials engaged in the preparation of identity cards, which have been made mandatory by the Election Commission of India for casting one’s vote, say that urban voters in general have been showing disinterest in getting the photo identity cards made. However, officials concerned are not facing problems in villages while going from door to door to persuade voters to get their identity cards made. Reports say that often when officials go to houses, particularly in Mohali and Kharar to give slips indicating the voter’s name and number and the place where the identity cards can be made, some residents objected to their being disturbed. In some cases residents even got annoyed and irritated when officials rang the doorbell to urge them to get their identity cards made. According to figures available from the office of the SDM-cum-Electoral Registration Officer, in certain booths in the 69-Kharar constituency, the preparation of I-cards varied between 80 per cent to 100 per cent. The overall percentage in the constituency was 81.72 against the order of 90 per cent given by the Election Commission. It is learnt that the officials have been able to achieve 100 per cent success at booth numbers 8 and 9 and 99 per cent voters had been issued I cards at booth number 60. Similarly, booth number 34 achieved 98 per cent success while 97 per cent voters were issued cards at booth numbers 5 and 113. As many as 96 per cent voters were given I cards at booth number 154, 95 per cent at booth numbers 1, 11, 63, and 166, 94 per cent at booth numbers 7, 89, 114 and 167 and 90 per cent at booth number 35. There were as many as 2, 44,754 persons registered as voters in the Kharar constituency out of which a little over 2 lakh had been issued voter identity cards so far. Mr Sandeep Hans, SDM-cum-Electoral Registration Officer, said efforts were on to achieve the target of 90 per cent but had urban voters been more cooperative it would not have been difficult.

Delhi police action resented
Chandigarh, January 13 A cross-section of people, including lawyers, have taken strong exception to the manner in which the “whole operation was carried out”. The local police, too, was shaken by the “sensational incident” and was left with no choice but to register a case of kidnapping. What will be the fate of the case remains to be seen. The “shocking incident”, said a cross- section of people, not only erodes their faith in members of the “disciplined” force but also leaves Samaritans wondering about their role, in case such an incident - kidnapping of an innocent man - takes place in their presence. Should they or shouldn’t they act spontaneously to help the victim? Such a situation would only lead to chaos and lawlessness. It would ultimately help the culprits in getting away from full public glare after carrying out their activities. Just 24 hours after the incident, residents are saying that the police action could have far-reaching consequences. Legal luminaries insist that the police action was not only illegal, but in violation of the directions issued by the Supreme Court in the D.K. Basu versus State of West Bengal case. The judgement clearly states that the identity of the arresting officers should be well established. Besides , the relatives and others living in the vicinity of the arrested person should be informed by the police. On the issue, noted advocate of the Punjab and Haryana High Court Ranjan Lakhanpal opined: “As the act of the Delhi Police was in total violation of the Supreme Court ruling in DKBasu’s case, it amounted to contempt of court. According to the CrPC, it is mandatory for the raiding police party to take into confidence the local police before arresting someone. The Delhi Police has not only flouted all laws, but is also liable to contempt of court. The Chandigarh Police has to arrest all raiding police officials”. Echoing the views, another advocate Ashish Pathak viewed, “The matter is very serious because here the law protectors acted as law detractors. Prima Facie, the Delhi Police is also guilty of using fake number plates, besides carrying out an operation without informing the local police. In such operations, the possibility of shootout could have given rise to serious law and order problem. The local police should take up the matter seriously and start proceedings against the culprits to curb such illegal activities at the hands of another state’s police”. It also raised doubts about the ability of the police to check and nab fleeing suspects. It may have taken more than half an hour for the Delhi cops to kidnap and flee the city without being checked at any of the nakas manned by high-speed Gypsies and motor cycles. The local police kept groping in dark in order to identify the victims and their kidnappers, as the registration number of the vehicles used by the kidnapper turned out to be fake. The Chandigarh Police heaved a sigh of relief late in the night when it came to know about the fact that the youths were picked up by the Operation Cell of the Delhi Police and were not kidnapped. Deputy Commissioner of Delhi Police (Operation Cell), Alok Kumar, asserted that Manoj, alias Lakhmi, of Kansala village in Sonepat district was wanted by the Delhi Police in a case of extortion registered in 2006. He was arrested from Chandigarh on Friday along with another person Nitin Miglani. Nitin was handed over to his brother Naveen Kumar, an advocate, after nothing incriminating came out against him during verification. On being asked about the manner in which the youngsters were picked up, the DCP tried to avoid answering the question by saying that Manoj was wanted in a case. He maintained that they had informed the local police about the arrest, but refused to divulge the details about the time of furnishing the information. Inspector Satbir Singh, in charge of the Crime Branch of the Chandigarh Police, said the case would be investigated and they would apprise the senior police officials of the Delhi Police about the irregularities being committed by the raiding police team. He added that the Delhi Police officially informed them about the arrest late this afternoon.

Multimedia project: Unsuccessful bidder cries foul
Chandigarh, January 13 Alleging partisan role of the Administration in allotting the financial bid to a Delhi-based company, Parsvnath Developers Limited, the other bidder M/s KRBL Ltd has sought the revaluation of his documents, which were rejected at the time of the evaluation. Claiming that he was never informed on time about his documents being rejected, Mr Jagjit Singh Kochar, chief executive officer of the Green Field Ventures Ltd, said the certification of the documents submitted by KRBL Ltd by an international evaluator had given 90 per cent marks. Denying any partisan role, a spokesman of the Administration said the KRBL did not qualify at the evaluation stage. It did not cross the bench mark of 70 per cent set by the Administration for those to qualify for the financial bid. The spokesman claimed that evaluation was delayed but KRBL officials were informed about the rejection of their papers on January 10. Mr Kochar, however, said that he was never informed on December 29 and January 2. He claimed that he was never informed about the date of opening of the financial bid. In his request for re evaluation of the documents sent to the UT Administrator, he has pointed out that his financial bid was for Rs 207 crore against Rs 191 crore quoted by Parsvnath Developers. The spokesman of the Administration said once rejected before the final stage for selection, there was no point for entertaining the documents. A Multimedia-cum-Film Centre with digital studios and facilities for post-production processing of digital film and also modern hi-tech facilities for animation and gaming laboratories would be set in the project. The other short-listed bidders were M/s Emaar MGF Lmited and M/s KRBL. The Bid of M/s KRBL Ltd was not opened, as it did not qualify at the final stage for the project, said the spokesman.

New-look gallery tells glorious tales of martyrs
Chandigarh, January 13 Nursed back to life by dedicated volunteers and the staff of Government Museum, the revamped gallery opened after a year this morning. And though the old timers missed its familiar layout, once characterised by panels spanning 12 landmark events in India’s history, they
were happy at the freshness of the space. More so, at the range of 41 digitised panels that offer priceless insights into the life of freedom fighters. Most of the panels are loaded with rare information that changed the course of India’s history. So you have for the first time the detailed list of 68 Kuka Sikh revolutionaries arrested in Patiala on January 16, 1872, the rare picture of Veer Savarkar taken outside London’s Victoria Station before his arrest, the handwritten note where Madan Lal Dhingra’s father makes a personal account of his son’s sacrifice and the only authentic photograph of Sukhdev,
otherwise portrayed through oil paintings. Each piece of information has been sourced
for the Gallery by Malwinder Jit Singh Waraich, a Chandigarh-based historian, who is spirit behind the
new-look museum inaugurated by UT Administrator Gen S.F. Rodrigues (retd) today. Engaged in collection of documents from families of martyrs since 1966, Waraich has dedicated all his treasures to the gallery. Among the digitised panels he has conceived are The First War of Independence, The Trials and Hangings of Ghadarites, The Jallianwala Massacre, the Kakori Case, the Soldier Martyrs, the INA Trials and others. The gallery, in its present shape, is indeed one stop shop for anyone interested in India’s Freedom Struggle. It has documents pertaining to the San Francisco conspiracy case and those where the British suspect Rabindra Nath Tagore’s involvement in it; the picture which the British secretly took of Bhagat Singh before his arrest; Bhagat Singh’s execution warrant; and a rare letter which Ghadarite Harnam Chand wrote to his brother from jail. In the true spirit of a revolutionary unfased by death, he wrote - “I have been awarded death sentence. Please do not worry and let my wife settle down with our younger brother.” These and other accounts bring alive the conviction whereby the revolutionaries lived and died. In many ways, the gtallery’s exhibits are splendid because they don’t just repeat what has been seen and heard. They go beyond, to tell tales of martyrs who shed their blood but who never rose to glory like Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and others did. The gallery also has portraits, murals and dioramas related to the freedom movement, besides a separate section on soldiers of the Lahore Division who died fighting for the British in the first War for Civilization (1914-1918). The gallery will remain open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm.
