  • no confidence motion in haryana: BJP’s Haryana govt confident of support from some JJP MLAs

    BJP is confident of securing its government in Haryana, even as JJP and Congress has sought the governor’s intervention for a floor test of the Nayab Saini-led government. BJP is confident of support from several JJP MLAs.

    Former BJP ally, Dushyant Chautala, has written to the governor demanding a floor test in the state assembly. In his letter, Chautala said that the recent resignations and withdrawals of support have left the ruling BJP alliance teetering on the brink of a minority status. Till a few months ago, he was deputy chief minister in the BJP-JJP alliance government in Haryana.

    Similarly, Congress leader Bhupender Hooda also said he has sought time from the governor and would demand that an assembly session be called so that the Saini government would prove its majority on the floor of the House.Political temperature has risen in Haryana after three independent MLAs withdrew their support from the BJP government there. The MLAs had made the announcement in the presence of Hooda, the leader of the opposition in the assembly.AllUttar PradeshMaharashtraTamil NaduWest BengalBiharKarnatakaAndhra PradeshTelanganaKeralaMadhya PradeshRajasthanDelhiOther StatesHooda took a dig at Chautala saying that first he should ensure that all 10 MLAs of JJP are with him or not. Responding to the questions of BJP government lacking majority, Saini said “whenever the session will be called, we will win the trust vote”.”Where was Dushyant Chautala when the special session of the assembly was called? And BJP govt won majority. Earlier, he was enjoying power. Now he is out of it, so he is doing all this.

  • Chhattisgarh CM replies to Guv questions on reservation bills

    Express News Service

    RAIPUR:  Amid the prolonged disagreement over the reservation amendment bill, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Sunday said his government has replied to 10 questions asked by Governor Anusuiya Uikey on the proposed law. 

    “We have responded to the queries of the Governor, though there is no such procedure (to reply) laid down in the Constitution. She insisted that until she received the responses to her questions, she would not sign the bill. We think the assent should come now,” said Baghel.

    Raj Bhawan sources told this paper that the Governor’s decision would come after she was convinced by the justifications given by the state government. The special session of the state Assembly on December 2 unanimously passed and adopted by voice-vote the Chhattisgarh Public Service (ST-SC-OBC Reservation) Amendment Bill taking the quota in the state to 76% with the tribal share being raised to 32%.

    In the amendment bill, the proposed quota for Scheduled Caste is 13%, Other Backward Classes (OBCs) 27% and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) will get 4% reservations. Senior BJP leader Brijmohan Agrawal demanded the responses given to the Governor’s questions be made public. The ruling Congress, claiming that the state government had taken every technical and legal ground into consideration ahead of adopting the bill in the House, has alleged that the BJP is indulging in politics on reservation using the Raj Bhawan.

    The Governor ruled out any politics behind her decision. “Only after knowing the credible details and the reasons, I will consider giving the assent,” she affirmed. A controversy has erupted in the state on what is being looked upon as a delay on the part of the governor to sign the quota bills. 

    The ruling Congress has accused the opposition BJP of making attempts to stop approval of the bills and has demanded quick action on the part of the governor to resolve the lingering issue of caste-based quota in the state. Critics of the proposed Bill say that even after the governor gives assent to the bill, it would be tough to implement its provisions as the Supreme Court has already put up a cap of 50% on reservations for the Scheduled Castes and Tribes, and the Other Backward Classes.

    In September last year, the High Court set aside the state government’s 2012 order to raise the quota to 58% in government jobs and admissions in educational institutions. The court had said reservation exceeding the 50% ceiling was unconstitutional.

    Following are the Governor’s 10 questions:

     Was the opinion of the law department taken before bringing forth the reservation amendment bill?
     Under what conditions are the reservation over 50% binding?
     The report of the quantifiable data commission (on SC-ST) should be produced. Did the government aggregate the data while preparing the bills?
     What was the situation that led to increasing the quota limit beyond 50%?
     Was there a separate provision in the law brought for the EWS reservation?
     Was any committee constituted before raising the reservation ceiling?
     Why are the ST-SC candidates not being selected for state government jobs for the sanctioned posts?
     How do the STs/SCs lag behind socially, economically and educationally?
     Any report to ensure that the efficiency of the state administration would be maintained with the reservations?
     The high court in September this year quashed 58% reservation as “unconstitutional,” how will the bill with a higher quota be defended?

  • ‘Amrit Kaal’ declared to create new consciousness among youth: Kerala Governor 

    By PTI

    BAHRAICH/ GONDA (UP): Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared the next 25 years as India’s “Amrit Kaal” to create a new consciousness among the youth so that the dreams of freedom fighters can be realised.

    Addressing a function organised by the Rotary Club here on Sunday night, Governor Khan said it was the wish of the freedom fighters that the coming generations should live with self-respect.

    “Many of us may not live to see the 100th year of Independence, but this Amrit Kaal or Amrit Mahotsav has been announced to create a new consciousness among the younger generation as India completes hundred years as an independent nation.”

    “Many freedom fighters would not have thought of seeing the dawn of Independence. Many could not see it. But they made sacrifices for the nation’s future so that the citizens can walk with their heads raised with self-respect,” Khan said.

    He said the need of the present is to provide education to everyone. Khan was in Bahraich on a two-day visit during which he attended several programmes.

    In Gonda, Khan told reporters that India is the only culture in the world, which saw divinity in humanity and has humanised the divinity.

    “We see God even in ants. The speciality and identity of India is its promotion of knowledge and intelligence,” Khan said.

    The Kerala governor said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is making efforts to bring a new consciousness to the country.

    “Politicians and the public are not separate. Consciousness should be aroused in people who create leaders. If there is a layer of dust over anyone, then it should also be cleaned. We cannot escape our responsibilities,” he said.

    To a question on non-BJP parties accusing the Centre of misusing the ED and CBI, Khan said, “The responsibility of safeguarding the Constitution is that of the court. Our institutes are not only doing a good job but have also become strong with time.”

    “It is possible that someone may violate its dignity at a point, but that it is not final. If anybody has any objections, then they can seek court protection,” Khan said.

  • Governor forms panel for protection of heritage Assamese institutions in Shillong

    Express News Service

    GUWAHATI: Assam Governor Prof Jagdish Mukhi has intervened in the protection of some heritage socio-cultural, academic and religious institutions of the Assamese in Meghalaya capital Shillong.

    He constituted a three-member committee with the director of Cultural Affairs Department as its chairman and the deputy resident commissioner, Assam House, Shillong and a representative from the Revenue and Disaster Management Department as members.

    “The Governor of Assam is pleased to constitute a committee to take up the matter regarding ownership of land with the government of Meghalaya on which Assamese institutions are set up with immediate effect,” a notification dated July 25 and issued by Laya Madduri, who is the secretary, Cultural Affairs Department, said.

    The committee has been assigned to visit the institutions to assess the current state of affairs, take up the matter with the Meghalaya government, hold talks with different organisations running them and submit a detailed report.

    One of these institutions – Shrimanta Sankardev Cultural Centre – had written to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in June this year seeking his help after suspecting a threat to its land from influential locals, including politicians. This newspaper had broken the news.

    Assam Club, Assam Cultural Centre, Laban Namghar etc are the other institutions.

    A Meghalaya minister had proposed to develop the Cultural Centre and the Assam Club. He said a multi-storey building each, with a shopping complex, parking space, community hall etc, would be built at the two properties. However, the Assamese settlers suspected that they might end up slowly losing the properties.

    In its letter to the Assam CM, the Cultural Centre had said the “limited” Assamese living in Shillong was finding it tough to manage the institutions. It further said the community was worried about the future of the institutions due to the lack of support from the Meghalaya government and its policy.

    “The Assamese had set up these institutions after a lot of efforts but they are now in grave danger…We solicit your support for their safety, preservation and development,” the letter to Sarma read.

    Subsequently, a three-member team from Assam, led by Sudarshan Thakur, who is the secretary of Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra, Guwahati, visited Shillong and conducted a spot verification, purportedly at the Assam CM’s direction.

    The Assamese population in Shillong is estimated to be around 5,000, including permanent settlers. Meghalaya was carved out of Assam to be created as a state in 1972. Until then, Shillong was the Assam capital.

  • Governors in non-BJP states are like ‘rogue elephants’ trampling democracy, says Shiv Sena

    By PTI

    MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena on Thursday accused the governors in non-BJP-ruled states, including Maharashtra, of acting like rogue elephants and trampling under their feet democratic constitution, laws and political culture.

    Without taking the name of Maharashtra governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, the party, in an editorial in its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ also alleged that the Centre was using governors to destabilise those states that are being ruled by non-BJP parties.

    The Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government shares an uneasy relationship with governor Koshyari.

    Among other issues, Koshyari has been under fire from the state government over the delay in approving the appointment of 12 MLCs from his quota.

    “The governors in non-BJP-ruled states are like rogue elephants and their mahouts (handlers) are sitting in New Delhi. Such elephants trample democratic processes, laws, political culture under their feet and set new precedence,” the Sena said.

    How appropriate is it that the governors are using all their power to destabilise the state government because it is formed by non-BJP parties, the party asked.

    Such efforts are affecting the unity of the country. It is like playing with fire. But one should remember that in doing so, one’s own hands may get burnt. The use of governor’s post for such work is demolishing the constitutional structure, it added.

    “If some people think that Indian democracy will sustain and flourish by constructing a new parliament complex in the national capital, then they should also pay attention to the screams of the federal governments that have been trampled.

    “The states are not allowed to function properly and the agents of the party in power are given free hand to create chaos in the states,” the Sena alleged.

    “Maharashtra governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has expressed his concerns over the safety of women and the law and order situation in the state. But why such concern is not expressed by the governors of Uttar Pradesh or Madhya Pradesh. The BJP women MLAs in Maharashtra have raised the same issue. But how come the BJP women legislators from other states are not expressing similar concerns for MP and UP?” it asked.

    Why they are creating so much noise over the issue in Maharashtra? Because the BJP is not in power here, while it rules those in two other states.

    The suspicious death of a seer or attacks on women in UP and MP seems to be purposefully ignored, the Sena said.

    The Uddhav Thackeray-led party also targeted the Union government over providing police protection to those BJP leaders who indulge in “mud-slinging” against the non-BJP-ruled states.

    It was apparently referring to former MP from Mumbai Kirit Somaiya, who was recently given Z category security.

    “Union Home Minister Amit Shah has called for a meeting of chief ministers in various states to discuss ways to tackle growing Naxal activities.

    “However, hundreds of CRPF jawans are deployed in protecting some people who indulge in mud-slinging against some state governments.

    “It is necessary to use such forces (CRPF) against Naxals rather than wasting them on protecting some persons,” the Sena said.

In this effort, millions of lives have been saved and many families have been saved from becoming orphans. Doctors are also human beings, not God. More than 1,400 doctors and thousands of other medical workers lost their lives in an effort to save the lives of the public.

Violent attacks took place in many places in which many young doctors as well as many experienced doctors lost their lives. Many doctors are still fighting for life and death in hospitals. Many women doctors are being abused. Many doctors are being talked about in abusive language.
