More trouble for Badals
Bassi Pathana, November 25 The speakers lashed out at the leadership and said they were not informed about the visit of SAD president Sukhbir Badal at Fatehgarh Sahib and termed that dedicated Taksali Akalis have no place in the organisation. They said since SAD formed the government the workers have been completely neglected and there was no one to redress their grievances. They authorised Amardeep Singh Dharni, niece of former Jathedar Keshgarh Sahib and two time president of District Bar Association, to decide the next course
of action. While talking to mediapersons AS Dharni, district president, legal cell, SAD, said the leadership had always neglected the real Akalis who believe in the ideology of SAD. He said now they had decided to remain aloof and not to work for the party in future. He said that workers were not deserting the party, but they were being forced to leave. He said sycophants were promoted, whereas those who made sacrifices for the party were neglected. He added that he would decide the next course of action after consulting
his supporters at an appropriate time. It is worth mentioning that yesterday Rajesh Pal Singh Lalli, senior SAD leader of the area, and his supporters had revolted against the working of the party. |

Ruchika case crusader petitions against gender offence
Chandigarh, November 25 Parkash, the man in the centre of the fight for justice in the Ruchika case, today moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking justice for some other victims of gender offence. He has filed a petition in public interest, which is scheduled to come up for hearing before the first Division Bench of Chief Justice Mukul Mudgal and Justice Ranjan Gogoi Friday morning. Referring to similar harassment cases, Parkash has asserted that the officials concerned were indicted, yet action was not initiated against them. Anand Prakash, father of sole witness Aradhana, was virtually the complainant in the Ruchika molestation case. His fresh petition is against the state of Haryana and other respondents. Already in line of fire for “favouring” former police chief SPS Rathore in the Ruchika molestation case, Haryana’s already mottled image only recently received yet another blow after the Bench asked the state to explain how an officer facing allegations of molestation could be promoted. Rathore, 69, convicted of molesting Ruchika, was released on bail from the high-security Burail jail here on November 12. He had been in jail since May 25. The CBI, having failed to gather concrete proof against Rathore, had November 10 submitted a closure report before a court in Ambala, pertaining to two FIRs registered against the ex-top cop on December 29 the previous year. A petition filed in public interest for comprehensive probe into the entire incident is currently pending before the Division Bench. It has been filed by city-based advocate-cum-petitioner Ranjan Lakhanpal Chandigarh-based World Human Rights Council through chairman-cum-advocate Ranjan Lakhanpal had earlier sought directions for independent probe in the Ruchika case, right from the day she was molested till the final decision of the case. The petitioner also sought appropriate action against all officers siding with Rathore and enabling the trial to continue for 19 years.
