Original file of Sarabjit missing, claims sister
Amritsar, April 29 This revelation was made by Dalbir Kaur on her return from Pakistan after meeting her brother in Kot Lakhpat Rai jail. She also claimed that the magistrate deliberately concealed the file at the time of Sarabjit’s release. The family members, including Sukhpreet Kaur, wife, Poonam and Swapan, both daughters, who had crossed over to Pakistan on April 23, returned today. The family, however, said the old file of Sarabjit was being reconstructed which might give him permanent reprieve. After crossing over to India from the Radcliff line, the family members seemed partially satisfied. The daughters could not hug their father because the long-awaited reunion was from behind the bars. However, Sarabjit kissed the foreheads of his daughters. The daughters felt satisfied that they could call meet father for the first time. Sukhpreet, who carried a large tiffin, loaded with halwa and petha, Sarabjit’s favourite sweets, said it was a emotional moment for them family members when Sarabjit offered them tea prepared by him in the jail. Dalbir Kaur expressed hope that her brother would walk free shortly since the government of Pakistan was actively considering to convert the death penalty into life imprisonment. However, the family could not meet Ansar Burney, Pakistan’s human rights activist. Burney has been criticised by the kin of those killed in Pakistan in the series of bomb blasts in 1990, which were allegedly triggered by Sarabjit. Dalbir Kaur said most of the Pakistani had started believing that Sarabjit was victim of mistaken identity. His name was changed to that of Manjit Singh due to the missing original case file. Meanwhile, the family members plan to visit Pakistan again and hope to bring back him home.

Amritsar (South) Bypoll
Amritsar, April 29 The announcement put at rest all speculation of Sukhbir Badal contesting from here. The aspirants for the party ticket had created an unsavoury situation, with a number of aspirants staking claim for the ticket. The situation worsened when Bolaria held a meeting of his supporters here, which was attended by representatives of various Hindu organisations which resolved to oppose any candidate with “dubious background”. Though, Rajinder Singh Mehta, an executive member of the SGP, was among the front-runners, he failed to get the party ticket due to his “militant background”. The SAD could not afford to field a person with militant background due to opposition by Hindu organisations. Earlier, it were close confidants of a senior Akali leader who had told mediapersons that SAD chief himself was interested in contesting the bypoll due to wrangling among the aspirants for the ticket. After making the gathering wait for some minutes, the SAD president asked “What sort of announcement you expect of me?” Later, Sukhbir said that as authorised by the Political Affairs Committee, he had nominated Bolaria, son of late Raminder Singh Bolaria, as the candidate. However, the SAD chief warned that stern action would be taken against those party leaders who were found opposing the official candidate. Meanwhile, the SAD chief, promised to make Amritsar a world-class city within two years. He made a number of announcements to develop Amritsar as the most-sought-after city of the world.

EC watching activity in Amritsar
Chandigarh, April 29 The chief electoral officer, Punjab, has made it a point to tell both parties that the Model Code of Conduct has come into force in Amritsar district after the announcement of the election by the EC and will remain in force till the completion of the election process. The election office, while announcing the schedule for holding of the byelection in the Amritsar (South) Assembly segment, has given details, saying all political parties involved should be aware that the code came into force on April 16 when the EC announced the holding of the bypoll. The date of the poll had been notified nearly 10 days ago. The process of filing nominations will carry on for a week till May 5 in the office of the Additional Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, Amritsar, on all days except public holidays. According to the election office, only those people qualify to contest the Assembly poll who are registered as voter in any constituency in Punjab. Besides, the candidates will also have to take an oath of affirmation in the prescribed form before the returning officer. The candidates will be allowed to withdraw their names till May 8 and after the polling on May 22, the election process will be completed by May 27. The electoral officer has clarified that even though May 1 is a holiday on account of May Day, under the Negotiable Instruments Act, it will be a working day for the election process and nominations will be accepted. Similarly, nomination will also be accepted on May 3 and withdrawal will also be permitted on May 8, which are otherwise holidays. The SAD-BJP is yet to announce its candidate for the bypoll that became necessary due to the death of SAD legislator Raminder Singh Bolaria, who died in the USA from cancer in February this year. But the Congress has already announced the name of Navdeep Singh Goldy. The Congress has seen a lot of infighting in Amritsar where a former MLA Harjinder Singh Thekedar has made allegations against the party leadership for “selling the seat” to Goldy. Once SAD president Sukhbir Badal announces the name of the SAD-BJP nominee in a day or two, the political activity in Amritsar is expected to pick up.

ZP, Panchayat Samiti Poll
Sangrur, April 29 Though this decision of the district unit might create problems for the SAD candidates, the decision of the BJP has infused enthusiasm among the rank and file of the party throughout the district. The district BJP unit has plans to contest four ZP seats and 15 block panchayat samiti seats. The sources in the BJP said today that the Sangrur district BJP president Jatinder Kalra had today sent a list of candidates for ZP and block panchayat samiti seats to the state party high command, suggesting the names of candidates for different seats. According to information, Kalra has recommended the name of Joginder Singh from Bhullan village for Andana ZP seat, while he has recommended Manpreet Singh’s name for the Rogla ZP seat, Amandeep Singh’s name for the Mangwal ZP seat and Karam Singh’s name for the Badrukhan seat. The sources added that the BJP district president had also recommended names of the candidates for the following 15 block panchayat samiti seats: Mangwal, Badrukhan, Ballian, Akoi Sahib, Sheron, Baupur (Banarsi), Mandvi, Bharron, Kakra, Kapial, Kherri Kalan, Sherpur. Hathoa, Chatha Nanherra, and Amargarh. Political observers here say that if the BJP contests on these 19 seats (including four ZP seats) on its own, it will certainly harm the chances of candidates of not only the BJP but also the SAD. This may further create cracks between both parties at the time of forthcoming municipal council elections in the state. District president Jatinder Kalra admitted that he had sent a list of four candidates for ZP and 15 candidates for block panchayat samiti seats to the party high command for clearing their names.

Cong alleges violation of poll code
Chandigarh, April 29 In two separate communications to the chief election commissioner of India, chief spokesman of Punjab Congress Bir Devinder Singh alleged that Parkash Singh Badal had made announcements regarding the positioning of Central University at Amritsar yesterday in brazen violation of the code of conduct. He said the central university was a central project meant for Amritsar only, and the Chief Minister just could not announce that it would be in any other place like Ferozepur or Amritsar. In yet another communication, he alleged that ministers, parliamentary secretaries, mayor and deputy mayors were using government vehicles with red beacons, which is also a violation of the model code of conduct. He demanded from the Election Commission to send observers immediately to check the violation of the code. He said though the code had been imposed in Amritsar district only, it was also in force in entire Punjab because of the elections of Panchayti Raj institutions, scheduled for May 12. He asked the state Election Commission to ensure the observance of the Model Code of Conduct by all political parties to ensure free and fair elections to the grassroots institutions of democracy in the country.

PM’s statement shows Cong mindset: BJP
Jalandhar, April 29 BJP executive committee member and co-in charge of its Jammu and Kashmir affairs R.P. Singh said it should be termed as a mere slip of tongue, but it indicated the mindset of the Congress. The wavering policy, lack of firm action and the tendency of the Congress to seek partisan political advantage from a section of the trouble-torn Jammu and Kashmir province was aggravating the problem in that state, he added. Singh said both Congress and its alliance partner in J & K the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had been trying to placate extremists because of
vote bank politics. The Prime Minister’s mentioning of Azad as “Wazir-e-Azam” should be seen in continuation of what PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti had said in Islamabad last month, where she spoke of dual rule in Kashmir and thereafter her father Mufit Mohammad Syed, also a former J & K CM, uttered in Srinagar about dual currency. R.P.Singh went on to say that the Congress had always been hobnobbing with extremist elements for vote bank whether it was Punjab, Assam, Andhra Pradesh and now Kashmir, and the nation had to pay the cost of their misgivings.
‘Advani termed Punjab happenings as
painful’ Clarifying about objections raised by some Sikh organisations regarding senior BJP leader L.K. Advani’s autobiography “My Country, My Life”, R.P. Singh said it was never mentioned in the book that it was the BJP which forced the then Prime Minister to use the military to liberate the Golden Temple from its anti-national occupants. Providing copies of the pages related with Punjab under the chapter “The Trauma and Triumph of Punjab” in Advani’s autobiography, he said it was clearly stated on page 7 of the book that “with her credibility, both at home and abroad, at stake, the Prime Minister was ultimately forced to use the military to liberate the Golden Temple from its anti-national occupants”.

She also executed a sale deed as an owner of the Anandpur Stone Crusher Udyog Association and a partner with Dharminder Singh for Rs 30 lakh in October 2005.

Complainant Rajeshwar Singh of Dhaki in Pathankot has attached copies of the property papers owned by Yesh Paul and family members and given these to the director, Punjab Vigilance Bureau, Chandigarh. He has also alleged that the tehsildar had purchased the property in the names of his wife, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and certain other persons. As per the complaint, the revenue officer even developed housing colonies in connivance with a reader-translator of the Pathankot Civil Court and a Gurdaspur-based property dealer. The tehsildar was recently in controversy for land grabbing. The said land belongs to the Central government and at present has an air base of the Indian Air Force at Dhaki village. Yesh Paul, however, denied the allegations saying Rajeshwar had been forcing him to get registration of a 'disputed' land done since long. "He even threatened me and put pressure to get the illegal job done. I have already brought the issue to the notice of the deputy commissioner. I have not done anything wrong," he claimed.
Apprehending political influence in the functioning of the Punjab Vigilance Bureau, Rajeshwar Singh has sought the shifting of the Pathankot tehsildar case from Amritsar to some other region of
the bureau. In his statement, recorded by an officer of the bureau at Pathankot today, Rajeshwar said since tehsildar Yesh Paul was a politically well connected person, it might influence the bureau team.

Death of Indian in UAE
Mandi Ahmedgarh, April 29 Dharminder, after hospitalisation in Al Din Hospital in Saudi Arabia for three weeks, for quadriplegia developed due to a fall from a great height, was flown to New Delhi on April 22. Though the Health authorities, Eastern Medical Region, UAE, vide MIFTT (Medical Information for Fitness to Travel), claimed that Dharminder was conscious and alert, he was declared brought dead by local doctors. As body of the deceased bore no external injuries and marks of electrocution, as reported by the UAE authorities, the family of the victim suspects foul play. In a communiqué to higher authorities, including the President and the Prime Minister of India, Chand Singh of Nathumajra village has urged the authorities to probe the case. Chand Singh had borrowed Rs 1.20 lakh to send his son Dharminder to Saudi Arabia 15 months ago. He was employed filler assistant in Al Tammam General Construction of East UAE. Bhajan Singh and Chamkaur Singh, relatives of Dharminder, informed Nathumajra’s family a fortnight ago that Dharminder had received minor injuries while working on a project on April 1. Though ideally treatment of any accident victim is got done by the employers, Chand Singh was shocked when Bhajan and Chamkaur informed him that Dharminder was being shifted to India on April 20. Chand Singh was asked to arrange an ambulance at the Delhi airport. "While I had gone to tthe airport to receive my son, who according to them was fit and fine, they handed me over a 'virtual body', which could neither talk nor listen to me. When we took him to a doctor in Delhi, he declared him brought dead," Chand Singh said . Despite the best efforts, the family could not get a case registered in connection with the incident at any of the Indian police stations and ultimately the body was cremated without getting a post-mortem examination conducted on it. The family became suspicious about the cause of the death when Bhajan and Chamkaur stayed away from all rituals, including cremation and subsequent condolence meetings. A perusal of xerox copies of documents sent by the UAE authorities revealed that Dharminder had fallen from a great height following electrocution. He had developed quadriplegia due to the fracture in cervical vertebrae number 5 and 6. As cervical plates, screws and instrumentation system was not available at the medical centre, the procedure was got done at some other hospital. Declaring Dharminder conscious and alert, the authorities discharged him for shifting to India where he was declared brought dead shortly after arrival of the flight on April 22.

Moga Sex Scandal Patiala, April 29 Garcha and Sandhu, who were posted as SSP and SP (headquarters), respectively, at Moga, are facing charges under Sections 7 and 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. It was alleged that certain Moga residents, particularly some businessmen, were subjected to extortion and were bailed out only after money was paid. The infamous Moga sex scandal had virtually shaken the state police department in December last year. Both officers were arrested on February 26 after the case was handed over to the CBI by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on the basis of a writ petition. Both were remanded in police custody for two days and were subsequently remanded in judicial custody from March 1. Earlier, acting on the complaints of some alleged victims of “blackmailing”, the Punjab government had formed a special investigation team (SIT) to conduct probe into the case. After hearing the arguments of defence counsels - Manoj Soin, S.S. Sukhija, Achhar Kumar and Varinder Kumar - CBI special judge H.S. Madaan released the accused on bail as per provisions of the Section 167 (2) of the CrPc in the wake of CBI’s failure to present the challan.

Do not ‘Akalise’ Punjabi conference: Cong
Chandigarh, April 29 Ajit Inder Singh Mofar, a Congress MLA from Sardulgarh, who had moved a resolution, later adopted unanimously by the Punjab Assembly during Budget session in March this year, to make teaching of Punjabi compulsory in all schools and its use mandatory in official work, today said he was disappointed he was not invited for the conference. He said the leader of the Opposition and PPCC president Rajinder Kaur Bhattal had played crucial role in getting the resolution passed unanimously in the House. Mofar said because of the moving of the resolution by him and its unanimous adoption and efforts of Bhattal, education minister Dr Upinderjit Kaur was now having ordinances drafted to enforce the use of Punjabi in official work and make it compulsory in the schools, irrespective of status and category. Appearing upset over the development, Mofar said the university authorities should stay above politics and the Punjabi conference should not be reduced to the status of an Akali conference. The universities should send out massages of fairness and academic impartiality and not of bias and partiality against any party and political individual. He said the “ Akalisation” of the academic institutions at the level of the university authorities was an unfortunate development and it should be avoided. He said of course not inviting those, who stand by
Punjabi, was highly condemnable.

Vedanti’s view on ‘Khalistan’ puts SAD in fix
Amritsar, April 29 SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal had to face embarrassment when mediapersons sought his reaction on the announcement of Vedanti, who had stated that “the community has the right to separate Sikh state”. This announcement was made by him on the occasion of Sikh Parade where Vedanti was the chief guest. His statement also coincided with the 22nd anniversary of the “Khalistan declaration” made by the then five-member Panthic committee from Akal Takht on April 29, 1986. The controversy happened at a time when SAD has been making all-out efforts to woo Hindu voters for the forthcoming Amritsar byelection. The statement, however, has emboldened the hardliners such as the Dal
Khalsa. Its general secretary Kanwarpal Singh said after a long time, the jathedar has “articulated the collective aspiration” of Sikhs.

SGPC gets Todar Mal Haveli
Amritsar, April 29 This was disclosed by SGPC chief Avtar Singh while talking to The Tribune here today. He said the members of the trust, who had decided to transfer the heritage building, would be honoured. The heritage building was sold to a private trust in September 2003. The SGPC president said the haveli was an important heritage building for the Sikhs and would be preserved in its original form. The building was transferred in the name of the Punjab Charitable Trust, a Mohali-based registered body. Dewan Todar Mal holds an important position in Sikh history by virtue of his having performed the last rites of younger Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh, Baba Zorawar Singh (9) and Baba Fateh Singh (7), who were entombed alive by the Mughals for not embracing Islam, and Mata Gujri, who had died
of shock. The Dewan had bought the most expensive piece of land in the world history to cremate the Sikh martyrs, as he was asked to vertically place gold coins on the land and only that much of land was given to him which he could cover with the gold coins. As per an estimate, he had paid more than 78,000 gold coins to buy a small piece of land where the three martyrs were cremated. Gurdwara Joytisaroop was built on the land.
