ABVP-NSUI fight for
DUSU gets murkier
New Delhi, September 8 Candidates of both the ABVP and the NSUI have bared it all blaming their opposition for flouting the Lyngdoh Committee guidelines. Both the parties are claiming that the other one is freely distributing printed material and pamphlets to students on campus. "The NSUI candidates are freely violating the model code of conduct laid by the Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations by distributing printed leaflets during the campaign. The entire campus has been flooded by their printed material. Such campaign materials are also being distributed by the NSUI near pubs and multiplexes. We condemn this and demand that the university administration should take strict action," said an official statement by the ABVP this evening. On the other hand, the NSUI has lodged a complaint with the election commission citing violation of the same rule by the ABVP candidates. The NSUI application further said that the opposition has been trying to defame the party by getting publicity material printed on their behalf. "We have come to know that our fake printed publicity material has been printed and circulated allegedly on our behalf by our electoral opponents. They themselves have been blatantly violating the model code of conduct in their election campaign by distributing the printed and stamped publicity material in various colleges of DU. In order to put us in the same light, they have got similar printed material circulated in a controlled and symbolic manner," said the application addressed to the Chief Election Commissioner, CS Dubey. ABVP workers allege that earlier this week, Arun Hooda, the presidential candidate of the NSUI, perturbed by its internal groupism engaged in a scuffle in front of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College. "As they saw the gates of the college shut for them, the NSUI activists broke the gates and started clashing among themselves. The police took notice of some boys carrying pistols and had no option but to lathicharge. In another incident, at Shyamlal Evening College, NSUI activists attacked some ABVP activists. Five activists have been injured in this incident," said ABVP state secretary Rohit Chahal. |
BJP can’t hijack the House, says Speaker
New Delhi, September 8 Addressing a conference today, the Speaker said that the House would not function according to the will of the opposition party. The members could have been permitted to attend the proceedings if they had made a request. He said, "Several members created pandemonium in the House, shouted slogans and disturbed the proceedings. Though I am not in favour of naming any member and want everyone to take part in the proceedings of the House and raise the problems of their constituencies. The BJP cannot hijack the House like that." On the other hand, Opposition leader Vijay Kumar Malhotra said whatever was done with the BJP members in the House was 'undignified and unconstitutional'. The Speaker had objected to the issue of corruption in the Commonwealth Games. According to him, the matter was sub judice which could not be discussed in the House. Later, the Chief Minister herself spoke on this issue and violated the ruling of the Speaker, Malhotra said. |
Notified Colonies Tribune News Service
New Delhi, September 8 The residents have sought reply from CM Sheila Dikshit and Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath on the amenities to be developed, community facilities, religious and shopping centres. These colonies are congested and there is no spare space to provide these facilities, Delhi BJP chief Vijender Gupta said. More than 20 lakh plots are vacant in the unauthorised colonies and construction of lakhs of houses is incomplete. Property owners in these colonies do not get loan for construction. The government has done nothing to convince the banks to sanction loan against properties in these colonies. According to the rule, the layout plans of the unauthorised colonies are to be passed by the municipal corporation. The government has not forwarded the layout plan of any colony to the civic bodies. |
More ICU beds for govt hospitals
New Delhi, September 8 Delhi Health Minister AK Walia yesterday asked principal health secretary Anshu Prakash to come up with a concrete proposal to enhance the availability of ICU beds at the government hospitals. "Shortage of ventilators in hospitals cause delay in the treatment of serious patients. With 10 more ventilators in all hospitals, lives of many patients will be saved," he added. |
