Understanding Marxism beyond Rahul’s capability: CPI leader
Jalandhar, September 24
Stung by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent remark that Communism is a dead ideology, which is nowhere in vogue in the world now, the CPI, here today, said it was beyond the capability of the Congress leader to understand Marxism and to be appreciative of communist philosophy, the fulcrum of which was to protect the “aam adami” from exploitative classes.

Three murder cases solved
Tribune Reporters

Jalandhar, September 24
The police cracked three murder cases in Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur and Batala.

The Jalandhar police claims to have solved the Navjot Singh murder case with the arrest of two suspects from Amritsar. The police claimed that the suspects, Sukhwinder Singh, alias Sukha, a resident of Sant Nagar, and Ravi of Model House, were arrested after a brief encounter in Amritsar city this afternoon.

Addressing mediapersons, A.P. Singh, DCP, claimed that acting on a tip-off, the police laid a trap and raided a hideout of the suspects in Amritsar city. Noticing the police, the suspects resorted to firing, following which the police retaliated and managed to nab them, the DCP revealed.

A case under Sections 302 and 379 of the IPC and the Arms Act was registered against them at Islamabad police station in Amritsar.

Rajpal Sandhu, ADCP (Crime), revealed that the duo had fire at Navjot Singh, alias Sarju, while he was driving a car adjacent to the GTB Nagar gurdwara on September 15 night. The duo dragged the occupant out of the car (PB-08AD-0089), dumped him on the roadside and sped away with the vehicle.

The police also recovered the car from them.

The ADCP claimed that Sukha and Ravi were involved in almost eight cases of robbery and snatching in Jalandhar, Ferozepore and Kapurthala districts.

A case under Sections 302 and 329 of the IPC and the Arms Act was also registered against them at Division No 6 police station for their involvement in the Navjot Singh murder case.

Two youths held

Hoshiarpur: With the arrest of two youths, identified as Jassi and Jaswinder Singh, alias Jassa, both of Mahilpur town, the district police today claimed to have solved the blind murder case of Jaswant Singh, a shopkeeper of Khanpur village, who succumbed to his injuries at a hospital, on the night of September 16, 2010. One of the accused, identified as Deepa of Mahilpur, is still at large.

Addressing mediapersons here today, Hoshiarpur SSP Rakesh Aggarwal stated that Jaswant Singh of Sherpur Dhakon village, who had been running a chemist shop at Khanpur village, was seriously wounded when some unidentified persons assaulted him with sharp-edged weapons at the Bahowal crossing, while he was going to his house after closing his shop on the night of September 16, 2010.

He was admitted to a hospital where he breathed his last. The assailants, after injuring him, decamped with his bag containing Rs 1,500 cash, three mobile phones and some other documents.

On the complaint of deceased Jaswant Singh’s father Tarsem Singh, the Chabewal police has registered a case under sections 302, 382 and 120 B of the IPC in this connection.

Tarsem Singh suspected that his daughter-in-law Raj Rani, wife of deceased Jaswant Singh, her mother Sheela Rani, brother Raju, maternal uncle Sodhi Ram, all of Jugial Colony, Shahpur and Sant Romesh Dass, head of Dera Gaddi of Sherpur had got his son murdered after paying a supari. During investigations, the aforesaid allegations of Tarsem Singh were found baseless.

Later, it emerged that deceased Jaswant Singh had also been operating a mobile phone business at his shop and always used to have Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 and 3-4 mobile phones in his custody.

Accused Jassi, Jaswinder Singh and Deepa, who were addicts, used to visit his shop and they knew this fact. To loot Jaswant Singh, they hatched a conspiracy prior to three days of committing the crime. On the night of September 16, at about 9:15 pm, when Jaswant Singh, along with one of his relatives Jagtar Singh of Mona Kalan, was going to his house on his motorcycle, the said accused, who were chasing him on a motorcycle, assaulted them at the Bahowal crossing with sharp-edged weapons, due to which both fell down on the road. After realising the seriousness of the situation, Jagtar Singh escaped from the scene by leaving Jaswant Singh alone there. After seriously injuring Jaswant Singh, the assailants snatched his bag containing the aforesaid valuables and fled on their motorcycle. The accused confessed their involvement in the crime. The police recovered the weapons and a motorcycle (No PB 07P 4894) used in the crime from them.

Jassi, who was the kingpin of the crime and Jaswinder Singh, who was working as a delivery man of LPG cylinders of a local gas agency, were addicts and had been involved in many brawl cases, said Rakesh Aggarwal.

Jalandhar, September 24
Hundreds of fans of popular Sufi singer - Satinder Sartaj - were disappointed as the city police showed the door to the organisers of the event.

Sartaj was to perform at the Guru Gobind Singh Stadium late this evening. The organising company, Vision Entertainers, had reportedly not sought mandatory permission from the authorities concerned, to hold the event. The city police asked the company, which had already pitched a stage, to wind up things from the venue late last night.

Sources revealed that Kulwinder Singh, organiser of the show, approached the police for permission at the 11th hour and had set up the stage and other infrastructure at the venue. The organisers had even sold tickets among the public.

Efforts to contact the event organiser, Kulwinder Singh, proved futile late this night as his mobile set had been switched off. He had allegedly gone under ground.

Talking to the Tribune, ADCP, Satinder Singh revealed that the organisers of the event had not sought prior permission for holding the event.

Moreover, the company was not granted permission due to security reasons.

He further claimed that the police force was pre-occupied in security arrangements relating to the visit of the Vice President of India to the city. Earlier, the force was deployed in the Sodal Mela and then in and around the city in wake of the awaited Apex Courts verdict on the Ayodhya issue, he claimed.

Understanding Marxism beyond Rahul’s capability: CPI leader
Tribune News Service

Jalandhar, September 24
Stung by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent remark that Communism is a dead ideology, which is nowhere in vogue in the world now, the CPI, here today, said it was beyond the capability of the Congress leader to understand Marxism and to be appreciative of communist philosophy, the fulcrum of which was to protect the “aam adami” from exploitative classes.

A national leader of the CPI, Dr Joginder Dayal said Rahul Gandhi was a leader of the party of which 168 MPs had a bank balance worth crores. The Congress had divided the country between India and Bharat. India was dominated by billionaires whose interests were protected by leaders like Rahul Gandhi and his party’s rich men, whereas people in Bharat had been left to fend for themselves.

Reminding Rahul about the Nehru era, Dr Dayal said Jawahar Lal Nehru had set up an Inquiry Commission in 1950s to find the growing gap between rich and poor. However, no such initiative had been taken by the Congress-led government, which takes pride in identifying itself as the “aam adami’s” Government, now when the gap has become far wider compared to 1950s.

Dayal said Rahul Gandhi was not aware of the latest developments in the West, where most of the political leaders were turning towards Marxism and the sale of Marxist literature had gone up several fold.
