Kuldeep retains Karnal seat for family, fields brother Chander Mohan
Political experts said Kuldeep Bisnoi wanted to regain his father and former Chief Minister Bhajan Lal’s political ground in Karnal. As his father was an MP from here in 1998, he decided to field his elder brother for this seat. Although his first choice was former union minister Venod Sharma, but due to opposition from BJP leader Sushma Swaraj he had to suspend his decision. Chander Mohan has a long political experience as he has been MLA from Kalka four times, although it is his first election as a parliamentary candidate. As per pre-poll alliance between BJP and HJC, BJP has to contest from eight and HJC has to contest from two seats. Kuldeep has already declared that he will contest from Hisar and Karnal will be their second seat. In 2009 parliamentary election, HJC chief had tried his party luck and had fielded Dr Ramesh Chabhra as its candidate, who finished fourth in the poll with 49,226 votes. Talking over phone, Chander Mohan said he would try to fulfill his father’s dream as he wanted to do many things for the constituency’s people. In 1998, former Chief Minister Bhajan Lal defeated ID Swami by 52,061 votes, but he avenged his defeat in 1999 beating Bhajan Lal by a huge margin of 1,47,854 votes. |

Chander Mohan makes comeback after 4 yrs
Hisar, March 18 The HJC supremo and his younger brother, Kuldeep Bishnoi, today announced his candidature. Bishnoi, who is sitting MP from Hisar, would re-contest to defend his seat in the parliament. Chander Mohan's candidature has come as a surprise even for party members as some other names were being seriously considered before his name came in the reckoning at the last moment, sources said. The pressure from within the family played a key role in giving him the ticket, they added. Chander Mohan would take on Congress sitting MP Arvind Sharma and INLD nominee Jaswinder Sandhu in Karnal, which was considered a non-Jat, Brahamin-dominated seat. Former Chief Minister Bhajan Lal had a strong base in Karnal and represented the seat in the parliament once. Addressing a press conference at Chodhariwali village in Adampur assembly segment here today, Bishnoi said Chander Mohan's name was decided upon after taking in view the winnability factor as he was under immense pressure from the party's Karnal unit to field a member of the Bhajan Lal family. "The NDA has selected the candidates with winnability criteria and the party's high-power group finalised the names, asking me and my brother to contest the Lok Sabha elections". A four-time MLA from Kalka assembly segment, Chander Mohan had served as Deputy Chief Minister in the first tenure of the Hooda government. However, he was in the thick of controversy when he married a Haryana Law Officer Anuradha Bali after converting to Islam in 2008. Though, in a swift turn of events, he converted back to Hinduism and was readmitted into Bishnoi sect a few months later. However, the controversy took a political toll on him as he failed to get a Congress ticket in 2009 Assembly polls. He later left the Congress to join his family outfit HJC. But he mostly stayed away from the political functions. A key party functionary however maintained that Chander Mohan was well known in the Karnal Lok Sabha constituency as he had managed the two elections contested by Bhajan Lal from this seat. |

SAD caught in dilemma between coalition dharma & family ties
Chandigarh, March 18 With the BJP and the INLD failing to enter into an alliance in Haryana, SAD, which runs a coalition government with the saffron party in neighbouring Punjab, is caught in a dilemma in Haryana on the issue of support to either of the parties. While according to coalition dharma, SAD should be supporting BJP candidates, its leaderhip, particularly the Badal family’s proximity to the Devi Lal clan, will be coming in the way of its support to the saffron party. This is particularly so as the INLD has declared sitting SAD MLA Charanjeet Singh as the party candidate from the Sirsa parliamentary seat. SAD has an alliance with the BJP in Punjab and the INLD in Haryana. In fact, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal had tried his level best to cobble together the BJP-INLD alliance recently. It was argued that the INLD, with its consolidated non-urban Jat vote bank, and the BJP, with its urban non-Jat vote bank, would prove a lethal combination to defeat the Congress, already facing anti-incumbency. The BJP, in turn, has an alliance with Kuldeep Bishnoi-led HJC in Haryana, with the latter contesting the Hisar and Karnal seats in the upcoming poll. Sources in the SAD said the party would take a call on supporting the respective candidates soon. However, the sources said senior leaders would vigorously campaign for certain INLD candidates such as Dushyant Chautala, grandson of Om Prakash Chautala, considered very close to the Badal family, and Charanjeet Singh. Though the INLD will contest against BJP candidates in the state, it has declared its support for BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi at the Centre if the NDA forms the government. SAD's dilemma

Will work for Bishnoi’s defeat in Hisar: Sukhbir
Hisar, March 18 Sukhbir Badal, who accompanied INLD nominee Dushyant Chautala during the filing of nomination papers, launched a no-holds-barred assault on Bishnoi as well as the Congress here. The association of SAD with the INLD irked the HJC, BJP's coalition partner in Haryana, as party chief and HJC-BJP Hisar nominee Bishnoi said he would take up the issue at the NDA forum. The BJP had an alliance with SAD in Punjab and the HJC in Haryana. The INLD would contest the polls alone. SAD's open support to the INLD, which was a rival of the BJP-HJC in Haryana, had created confusion in the state. Upset over SAD's 'interference' in Haryana, Bishnoi reacted sharply today. "Badal's decision to support the INLD in Haryana is in violation of coalition dharma as he has supported a rival party which is not a constituent of the NDA," he said. "The NDA has taken a principled stand to not to ally with corrupt politicians. The top leadership of the INLD is in jail in corruption cases. I will complain about this to the NDA leadership," he said at a press conference. Addressing a public meeting, the SAD leader claimed that the Congress, which had lost its base in several states, would vanish from Haryana and Punjab after the elections. "The Congress government had jailed INLD leaders thinking that it would be able to disband the party, but the INLD would emerge stronger after the elections," he stated. He urged voters to ensure that Bishnoi lost his security deposit in Hisar. Offering SAD support to the INLD, he said that since polling was scheduled in Punjab on April 30, the entire SAD workforce would be deployed in Haryana to help INLD nominees in campaigning and poll management. "Give us any assignment and we will do whatever the INLD leadership wants us to. You can reciprocate by helping SAD in Punjab later," he stated. Sukhbir Badal specifically targeted UPA president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi, claiming that they did not know anything about the issues concerning villagers and farmers. "Sonia Gandhi has no idea about rural culture. Bring her to a village and she will not be able to differentiate between varieties of cotton. She has never eaten ‘bajre ki roti’ and ‘sarson ka saag’. She eats only pizzas," he remarked. Continuing in the same vein, he stated, "Rahul Gandhi has the sole target to finish off the Congress in the country. Whenever he gives an interview, it makes a negative impact on party prospects. The past record has revealed that the Congress has lost in the constituencies he had visited." INLD leader Abhay Chautala termed the HJC as the B-team of the Congress. He claimed that the anti-Congress wave would not only root out the Congress, but a ensure clean sweep by the INLD in Haryana as well. Party nominee Dushyant Chautala said his father and grandfather had become victims of a political conspiracy hatched by the Congress and executed by the CBI. He claimed that the people would teach the Congress a lesson in the elections. |

Dharambir Singh, Charanjit Rori resign from Assembly
Karnal, March 18 Dharambir is to contest the Lok Sabha election from Bhiwani-Mahendergarh seat on BJP ticket and Charanjit will contest from Sirsa (reserve) seat on INLD ticket. After submitting their resignations to the Speaker, Dharambir attacked Congress and alleged that it had failed to stop price hike and had sunk into corruption. “Day-by-day new scams were coming into public knowledge, so I decided to quit Congress and joined BJP,” he said. He added that public wanted to make Narender Modi the Prime Minister. Charanjit Singh said he had to contest from the Sirsa seat, so he reigned from the membership of the Vidhan Sabha. “Both MLAs appeared in person and submitted their resignation from Vidhan Sabha. After being satisfied with their voluntary resignation reasons, I accepted their resignation and directed my officials to declare both the seats vacant and informed the Election Commission also for further proceeding,” said Kuldeep Sharma. |

Naveen Jindal complains to EC against Zee
New Delhi, March 18 “As many as 85 specific news stories targeting me and my company have been telecast by Zee News and its channels since the model code of conduct came into force,” Jindal claimed. They alleged that he was a tainted politician who relied on caste-based politics and did not deserve the Congress ticket to contest the election, Jindal said in a letter to the EC. He pleaded with the EC to take “suitable action” to restrain the channels from airing such defamatory news items against him. Pointing out that every person had the right to be treated as innocent until held guilty by the judiciary, he said “neither have I been held guilty nor chagesheeted for any offence. Hence, the media cannot be allowed to indulge in character assassination,” he said. |

War of words intensifies between Kiran, Dharambir
After leaving the Congress party, Dharambir is now trying his luck as a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Lok Sabha seat, whereas Kiran Choudhry is seen campaigning for her daughter and outgoing MP Shruti Choudhry, who is again in the poll fray on a Congress ticket. Accusing him of buying the BJP ticket, she said Dharambir had made crores while enjoying the power of CPS in the Congress government during the past 10 years. “Dharambir has been exposed before the masses due to his vested interests and negative politics. Hence, the people are set to teach him a lesson in the coming polls. The BJP will repent over its decision of giving the ticket to Dharambir,” Kiran said. Meanwhile, indirectly training his guns on the mother-daughter duo, Dharambir said the Congress leaders were misguiding the people in the name of sports university and medical college to get votes. He said no provision had been made in the Budget for the projects. While addressing a public meeting in Dadri town, he said: “The sports university and a medical college in Bhiwani were just proposed in the state’s Budget just like the Loharu-Bhiwani railway track, the work on which is yet to begin even after a long time of its announcement,” Dharambir termed the announcements of sports university and a medical college as “rubbish”. |

Chief Electoral Officer issues directions to state depts
Chandigarh, March 18 A spokesman of the Election Department said since the code had come into force, no video-conferencing should take place between the Chief Minister, ministers and other political functionaries of the state government and officials, individually or collectively. Walgad issued necessary directions for prevention of defacement of property and other campaign-related items. He said in states where there was no specific law governing prevention of defacement of property, the instructions provided that display of easily removable material such as flags, banners and hoardings could be done on private property or premises with the prior consent of the owner or occupier of the property. However, in the states where the defacement law specifically prohibit display of flags, hoardings and banners, provisions in the law would apply strictly and such material would not be displayed on private property or property in public view. Walgad also directed various departments and corporations of the government to remove photographs and messages of political executives from websites until the code was in force. |

Krishan Pal Gurjar is BJP candidate from Badarpur
Faridabad, March 18 Speaking to mediapersons after the announcement of his candidature, Gurjar said the people wanted relief from the corrupt and inept governance of the Congress. He charged the ruling Congress government of turning the city into a hub of land mafia. He said the imposition of toll tax on the border between Faridabad and Delhi was like a Jazia tax, adding that it was only the BJP which could provide relief to commuters from such an unwanted burden.
Alleging that the state government, in its past two tenures, provided a free hand to property mafia, he said the authorities too misused the provisions of Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act by acquiring farmers’ land forcibly and then handing it over to the builders at throwaway prices. Challenging the outgoing Congress MP to explain why the city lagged behind in terms of development, in comparison to the neighbouring cities of Gurgaon and Noida, he said it was mainly due to apathetic attitude of the state government, which minted money in the name of providing CLUs and NOC to the builders and land mafia. He said rampant corruption and lack of control over official machinery had forced a large number of industrial units and business houses to leave the city. Claiming that Gujarat had achieved the best growth model in the country, he said the BJP would ensure such a model in the state and in the constituency in case it was voted to power. He said Faridabad would not only get a special package, but other important instruments of growth as well. He said Faridabad would also be developed as a hub of higher education. |

Flow of illicit arms, liquor, money on police radar
Faridabad, March 18 "Faridabad has a porous border with Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. It is sensitive in terms of inflow of illicit arms, liquor and money, which were considered as the three main ingredients to make the election process a success by aspiring candidates in the past," claimed Yogesh Sharma, advocate and social activist. He said officials might claim taking tough measures, but the entry and role of these ingredients in the elections was too difficult to be ruled out. "Though the administration and the election office release contact numbers of various officials to report irregularities, the action and response cannot be guaranteed to be quick enough to nail the culprits," claimed Pardeep Kumar, a local resident. He said there were dozens of residential colonies and slum clusters where various items, including liquor, were distributed in the last week of the election process to manage the votes of electors, which had nearly become the norm. Demanding strict action against the inflow of liquor and money, Rajinder Bisla, former MLA, said the authorities should ensure a strict vigil and curb on the movement of suspicious elements. "Around 1,550 licensed weapons out of 4,302 have already been deposited with the police and the rest are likely to be taken in police possession by March 28," said Commissioner of Police AS Chawla. Stating that over 55 'nakas' or checkpoints had been made operational round the clock in the district, he said the police had recovered 16 illicit weapons and 80 live cartridges since the announcement of polls. He said the police seized over 13,680 bottles of liquor on Thursday night from a truck with a fake registration number which was on its way from Punjab to Gujarat. He said several teams had been working constantly to track the movement of criminals and weapons. |

Girls go on rampage after ‘poor’ varsity result
Sirsa, March 18 The girls, who were angry at a “very high” fail percentage in English subject, barged into the Vivekanand Library, where the vice chancellor’s office is situated, and went on a rampage. The angry girls alleged that hardly any of the girls had got pass marks in English, while the marking in other subjects too was very harsh. They alleged that the university deliberately did this to collect re-appear fees from students ever since the colleges of Sirsa and Fatehabad had come under the CDL University. Registrar Dr Manoj Siwach said the agitating girls smashed a number of windowpanes in the library building and have also ransacked an office room. Siwach said the university authorities would lodge a formal complaint with the police in this regard. He said the examination papers were set by the college teachers and the marking was also done by them, adding that the university merely compiled and announced the results. Dr Praveen Aghamkar, Controller of Examination at the university said the problem was not at the end of the university, but with poor standard of students coming from rural background. He said the students had raised similar questions when their results for the fourth semester were declared, but later their teachers, who were invited by the university for examining their answer sheets, admitted that the marks were awarded correctly. |

The pairing of animals would be done by procuring their mates under the animal exchange programme with the intervention of the Central Zoo Authority, she revealed. Spread over 27 acres along the Chandigarh-Delhi National Highway, the government established a deer park in 1982. It was recognised as a zoo by the Central Zoo Authority in 2005.

Courts violating all principles of natural justice: Lawyers
Kurukshetra, March 18 The advocates are on indefinite strike since March 11. Balwant Singh Waliya, member of the District Bar Association and action committee, said: “The procedural law is being violated in all courts and in all cases of the 2013-14 action plan. About 100 cases were decided without proper hearing. The courts are in a hurry to dispose of these cases, violating all principles of natural justice, procedure and legal ethics.” He said other advocates working as notaries and oath commissioners have also decided not to attest any affidavit or document unless the Punjab and Haryana High Court comes out with an action plan in the interest of litigants. Besides, they were also unhappy over the continuation of Gramin Nyayalaya at Shahabad. Balwant said five advocates would remain on chain-hunger strike from 10 am to 4 pm on Tuesday and Wednesday. In case no concrete solution came out, they threatened to go on an indefinite hunger strike from Thursday. SK Goyal, DK Bhardwaj, CB Madan, VM Asari and MS Tanwar were on hunger strike on Tuesday. President, District Bar Association, Aman Cheema said members of district bar associations and sub-divisional bar associations from all across the state have extended their support and they might also start protesting in the coming days. The High Court should properly monitor this action plan or withdraw it, as in the present situation it would not serve justice, he added. |

Ambala, March 18 The court held then CIA in charge of Jind inspector Nar Singh and constable Romesh guilty in the case. The court fixed March 20 as the date for pronouncing the quantum of sentence. Jitender Pehal and Randhir Singh were allegedly liquidated in a fake police encounter on October 25, 1994, at Butana branch canal near Ishapur Kher village in Sonepat district. Both of them were well connected and their murder had caused severe political tremors in Haryana. The CBI, which investigated the killings, had booked six Haryana policemen in the case, including former DGP Lachhman Dass, Jind CIA inspector Nar Singh, 3rd Battalion HAP Commandant at Hisar Ved Parkash Verma, former ASI Mangat Singh Gill and constables Romesh Chander and Sube Singh. Mangat Singh Gill had died during the trial. Lachhman Dass first filed a petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court on December 2, 1996, seeking transfer of the case from the CBI special judge in Ambala to his counterpart in Patiala. The case was transferred to the CBI special court in Patiala on October 17, 1997. During court proceedings, the CBI charge-sheeted Lachhman Das, Nar Singh, Romesh Chander, Sube Singh and Ved Parkash under Section 120-B, read with Sections 302, 193, 201 and 218 of the IPC. Nar Singh and Romesh Chander were charge-sheeted under Section 302 of the IPC for murdering Jatinder and Randhir. Mangat Singh Gill was booked under Sections 193 and 218 of the IPC. On May 12, 1998, the Supreme Court ruled that the case should be tried by the District and Sessions Judge in Ambala. The charge-sheet filed by the CBI in the court alleged that Jitender and Randhir were history sheeters. Jatinder was lodged in the Ambala Jail from June 27 to December 26, 1991. He was later shifted t theo Bhiwani Jail and remained incarcerated there from February 21, 1992, to August 28, 1993, when Lachhman Dass was Additional Director-General of Prisons. According to the CBI, on August 17,1994, Lachhman Dass took over as DGP and allegedly entered into a criminal conspiracy with the other suspects to eliminate Jitender and Randhir. He immediately shifted Nar Singh from State Vigilance Bureau to the CIA staff at Jind on August 24 and transferred the investigation of a complaint lodged by Rajender Kumar about the abduction of his brother Lekhu to Nar Singh. The investigation of this case revealed that Jatinder and Randhir were involved in the abduction of Lekhu. Jatinder was arrested on September 27, 1994, and was remanded in police custody until October 26. Randhir, too, was arrested on October 20, 1994, in another case and was remanded in police custody till October 25, the day they were "liquidated", read the case records. Around 5:30 pm on the fateful day, Nar Singh and other constables took Jatinder and Randhir towards Sonepat for effecting recovery of a vehicle used in some crime. When the vehicle in which they were travelling neared Ishapur Kheri village, Nar Singh told the driver to stop the vehicle. Randhir was brought out of the vehicle, thrown on the ground and allegedly killed with a .12 bore gun. Thereafter, Jatinder Pehal was brought down and several shots were pumped into him with a countrymade pistol. Both died on the spot. Their bodies were deposited in the Civil Hospital at Gohana. The autopsy conducted on the bodies of the deceased disclosed that they were shot dead from close range. Similar was the opinion of Dr RK Kaushal, ballistic expert, Forensic Laboratory, Madhuban, who visited the place of the shootout.

Karnal, March 18
Narnaul, March 18
Lashing out at Dharambir for criticising Congress leadership, Kiran Choudhry, while addressing a workers’ meeting in Bhiwani, said he had left the party due to fear of losing Assembly election from Sohna.
