BJP MLAs walk out of House
New Delhi, September 4 The Speaker said that the issue could not be discussed in the House as it was already in the court. As soon as the proceedings started, opposition BJP MLAs raised the issue of a local court order pertaining to the alleged graft in CWG projects and demanded that Dikshit should step down as she has lost the moral authority to continue in office. The Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly, V. K. Malhotra, said the court order shows that there is ground for investigations into alleged corruption in CWG preparations. When Congress MLAs protested against the allegation and BJP members shouted slogans against the Congress and its leaders, Speaker Yoganand Shastri adjourned the House for 30 minutes. When the House reassembled, the situation was the same and the Speaker had to adjourn it again for another 20 minutes. The ruling Congress on its part rejected the demand for Dikshit's resignation. When the House assembled for the third time, the BJP demanded a special discussion on the issue. It was rejected by the Speaker, following which the opposition MLAs staged a walkout. The Chief Minister said, "Let BJP say whatever they want to say. They are making wild allegations. They are not allowing Parliament to function. Now, they do not want the Assembly to discuss important issues," Dikshit remarked outside the House. Earlier, the House condoled the death of Bollywood star Rajesh Khanna and ex-metropolitan member Chaudhary Mukhtiar Singh.

Media giving one side of story: Paras’ dad-in-law
New Delhi, September 4 A case has been registered against Mittal under Section 302 and was summoned for questioning. "Our life has been ruined. I would not say anything. Media is presenting only one side of the story," said Mittal, speaking to mediapersons outside the police station. The boy's family has alleged that it is a case of honour killing. The couple had got married at a private ceremony and the girl's family had been against the marriage. The police also said that it is looking for eyewitness and it is too early to come to a conclusion. The police said that the person, who had called up Bhasin's mother to inform her about the body, was a passerby, who had called up after seeing Bhasin's ID card lying near the track. The police, on the basis of the forensic examination of the body, said that the body was not sliced or cut but was crushed by a heavy object. His body was found in a mutilated condition on the track. The police also suspects that the body could have been compressed and disintegrated by the impact of the train. Three days after his body was found, the head was found inside the body cavity probably due to the impact. Bhasin's family had alleged in the FIR that he was under constant threat from his in-laws. His wife was kept under house arrest by her family after it came to know of their marriage. Bhasin, who last time met his in-laws on August 29, was constantly being threatened by them, alleged his family members.

Was not hit by cops, says biker whose fall triggered riot
New Delhi, September 4 "Some vehicle hit my bike from behind and I fell down and fell unconscious," said Kamruddin while speaking to reporters outside a police station. On Kamruddin's statement, the police has registered a case of accident against the driver of the vehicle that allegedly hit his bike. "Police officials at the barricade had rushed to Kamruddin when he fell unconscious after being hit by a vehicle from behind and were trying to bring him to the conscious state when rumours spread that they had killed him," said a senior police officer. The rumours had infuriated locals, who attacked the police with stones and set vehicles and property on fire. To control the situation, the police had fired seven teargas shells and detained six persons for arson. Two cases were registered against unknown people for rioting, attempt to murder and arson at east Delhi's two police stations.

Trade unions announce two-day strike
New Delhi, September 4 Taking up their livelihood issues at the National Convention of Workers at Talkatora Stadium that echoed with frequent mention of the recent nightmarish episode of the Manesar's Maruti Suzuki Plant in which 150 workers have been jailed under Section 302 while another 500 were dismissed, they warned the Centre as well as various state governments against ignoring their demands. In this context, several speakers condemned the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's invitation to the Japanese company for relocating the plant. AICCTU's Swapan Mukherjee said, "In the entire Gurgaon-Maneswar belt, the number of contractual workers stands at 80 per cent. Workers' rights are violated day in and out with the latest instance being at Maneswar. It is time we have to awaken the government from its slumber." "Since 1991, the government has been framing policies just to favour the capitalists and big corporate houses. Workers' policies are always on paper and never implemented," said Harbhajan Singh Sidhu of Hind Mazdoor Sabha. "It has been over 60 years, but the problems of poverty and unemployment still haunt us. Today we have to lend our voice for a united struggle for the sake of our children," said former MP Sanjeeva Reddy of Congress-backed INTUC. While critising the Maharashtra government's ban on protests, CPI MP Gurudas Dasgupta said, "Capitalists have controlled the country and we are yet to get the real freedom. This battle has to be intensified against all governments." According to CITU's MP Tapan Sen, a united struggle is the need of the hour and it is important to translate this strength into success. "We'll shake the government with the two days' strike. It will be spread from offices, factories, roads and across the cities to villages," Sen said.
