The biggest whodunit these days in Gujarat is not the murder mystery of Sheena Bora. The talk in the drawing rooms and on the streets here is this: who ordered Ahmedabad cops to act against the Patels demanding res-ervation on 25 August? The inexplicable hurry shown by the Ahmed-abad police to arrest Hardik Patel, leader of the movement by Patels for OBC status, and the violence unleashed by them later has made peo-ple wonder if the cops were acting on a script to ensure the agitation esca-lates into a Patel vs oth-ers conflict. The police action against the Patels has already incurred the Gujarat High Court’s wrath. On Saturday night, the court reprimanded the police, asking it to not cross the limits and work within the frame-work of existing laws. Acting on a public inter-

Jait-ley said the government was committed to OROP but the “only difficulty” is the “arithmetical trans-lation”. “I have my own formula on what OROP means.

Indrani Mukerjea, prime accused in the murder of her firstborn child Shee-na Bora, briefly fainted in court on Sunday while younger daughter Vidhie wept as the magistrate allowed them to meet on the court premises. Be-sides allowing the emo-tional meeting, the court extended till September 5 the police custody of INX media co-founder Indra-ni and her two accom-plices — Kolkata-based former husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shy-am Rai — who were arrested this August for the gruesome murder of Sheena three years ago.

Ex-servicemen have been agitating for 78 days at Jantar Mantar here demanding imple-mentation of One Rank, One Pension, including annual revision of pen-

We will implement the principle but then let us not cre-ate incidence which are going to set (precedent for) other segments of the society to also start demanding (the same),” Jaitley said. He, however, said, “we would like to safeguard the interest of those soldiers who retire at age of 35 or 38 years and the society must pro-tect them… and therefore some higher pension on a special formulation is understandable but then it can’t be revised every year.”

Mukerjea, briefly fainted in the Bandra courtroom as the public prosecutor argued that their custody be further extended. The public prosecutor said investigators suspect the involvement of some others outside Maha-rashtra in the 2012 mur-der and so more inter-rogation of the accused trio was required. Police still chased the motive behind Sheena’s murder and were trying to ascer-tain where the accused dumped the 24-year-old victim’s clothes, mobile

phone and other belong-ings after the killing. Khanna’s lawyer argued that police were only awaiting the reports of the forensic tests and there was no need to ex-tend his police custody. He could be sent to ju-dicial custody instead. Indrani’s lawyers that al-leged police were using pressure tactics such as manhandling her in cus-tody to force a confes-sion from her. Her law-yers wondered if there was anything more to ask since she had been inter-

rogated for around 90 hours following her arrest on August 25. But inves-tigators have contended that she and the other two accused have clammed up and not cooperating with the investigation.

currently. Oil firms had last cut petrol price by Rs 1.27 a litre and diesel by Rs 1.17 per litre with ef-fect from August 15. Pri-or to that, rates of petrol were cut on August 1 by Rs 2.43 a litre and that of diesel by Rs 3.60. “Since last price change, there has been a decrease in in-ternational prices of both petrol and diesel. How-ever, Rupee-US Dollar exchange rate has depre-ciated during this period. The impact of both these factors warrants a down-ward revision in prices, the impact of which is being passed on to the consumers with this price decrease,” IOC said in a statement. Last month, the price of petrol was cut on July 1 by 31 paise

per litre and diesel by 71 paise a litre. This was fol-lowed by a Rs 2 per litre cut in rates of both petrol and diesel, excluding lo-cal sales tax, from July 16 but consumers in Del-hi were deprived of the benefit as the Delhi gov-ernment raised VAT. As a

result, petrol price in Del-hi went up by 28 paise a litre after hike in VAT or sales tax on the fuel from 20 to 25 per cent. Rates of diesel, on which VAT was raised from 12.5 per cent to 16.6 per cent, saw a smaller reduction of 50 paise per litre.

est litigation filed by an NGO, the court advised the state government to take action against cops guilty of oppressive ac-tion. “They should not be saved,” the court said, asking the government for a report on the action taken by it against errant cops on 3 September. The court has also ordered an enquiry into the custo-dial death of Shweatang Patel, a 25-year-old res-ident of the Bapu Nagar area of Ahmedabad. The HC found prima-facie evidence that Shweatang died in custody because of police brutality. The

Ahmedabad commis-sioner of police, facing severe criticism, has or-dered transfer of sever-al cops from the Bapu Nagar police station after the court’s intervention. The sequence of events leading up to the violence in Ahmedabad strength-ens wide-spread suspi-cion that the cops may have initiated suo-motu action against the Patels. On Tuesday (August 25), the crowd at the venue of the rally had thinned out by evening. Due to con-fusion with members of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti, led by Hardik,

and its affiliate, Sardar Patel Group, people had left the venue and start-ed marching towards the Collectorate to submit their memorandum of demands. By 7 pm, there were less than 2000 peo-ple at the rally grounds. According to sources, the government was not

keen to take strict action against agitators. The consensus initially was to let it fizzle out and people go back home. But, just when the rally seemed to be petering out, the cops at the ven-ue crossed the barricades and started dispersing the gathering.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYAmbedkar in the times of Hardik Patel

In a very perceptive essay written 50 years ago, the cerebral socialist politician Ram Manohar Lo-hia identified three main strategies to end caste discrimination. The first strategy was what he de-scribed as the wordy one. It loudly condemned caste in general terms, but left the system intact. The main political parties of his day wanted the brightest of the so-called lower castes to join the elite without disturbing the overall social structure. Lohia was thus critical of those who believed that economic development would in itself create the conditions for upward social mobility large enough to end the caste system. The second strategy was described as an empty one by Lohia. He pointed out that some populous caste groups had taken ad-vantage of universal franchise to get more politi-cal power. Their goal was not to share this power with other castes lower down in the social order, but only to replace the dominant castes of the day; the plan was not to destroy the caste system, but to re-engineer it by shifting power within different social groups. The third strategy was what Lohia described as the true struggle. He said that reser-vations “irrespective of merit” would pitchfork the five most downgraded groups of Indian society—women, Sudras, Harijans, Muslims and Adivasis— into positions of leadership. Lohia had hoped that such a strategy would radically transform the so-cial structure to an extent that even the so-called upper castes would benefit. The strategy preferred by Lohia was eventually embraced by the Indian political system. But the result has been not what B.R. Ambedkar famously called the annihilation of caste or the democratic social transformation that Lohia hoped for. It has instead solidified the role of caste in Indian politics. The actual politics of reservations has led to consequences that are closer to what Lohia identified as the problem of the second strategy—an entitlement grab by nu-merically important castes that have been able to acquire political heft. Last week’s violence in Gu-jarat needs to be seen against this historical back-ground. The movement of the Patidar caste led by Hardik Patel is mirrored in similar agitations for reservations from other politically powerful castes such as the Jats in North India or the Marathas in Maharashtra. This has nothing to do with either ending the toxic caste system or encouraging so-cial mobility among the truly dispossessed.

Indian speedster Ishant Sharma was again in-volved in an altercation with some Sri Lankan players during the vis-iting team’s second in-nings on the fourth day of the third cricket Test here on Monday. The incident happened in the 76th and final over of the Indian second in-nings, which was being bowled by Dhammika Prasad. Prasad bowled a couple of bouncers which Ishant left alone and had a smile for the Lankan pacer. A bit ag-

itated, Prasad bowled a third bouncer which was illegal and promptly sig-nalled no-ball by the um-pire. Having exhausted his quota of two bounc-ers for the over, Prasad pitched one up and Is-hant cut it towards point region for a single. But as he ran past Prasad, he started tapping his helmet with an obvious gesture to the fast bowler to try and hit him on the head. Once the run was complete, Prasad had a few words for Ishant, who was in no mood to back out and walked up

to him. Just when they were exchanging words angrily, Dinesh Chandi-mal while passing grazed Ishant’s shirt and added some words of his own which suddenly got Rav-ichandran Ashwin agi-tated. Ashwin drew the attention of umpires Rod Tucker and Nigel Llong who then called up An-gelo Mathews to tell him to calm his players down. Still pretty angry at what happened, Prasad delib-erately overstepped and bowled a fourth bouncer to Ishant after which he took a single.

After the initial boom, registrations under the Prime Minister’s am-bitious social security schemes have slowed down lately in his home state. So much so that banks have been asked to speed up the registra-tions and bridge the gap between people having bank accounts and peo-ple insured under the PM’s insurance schemes. The ambitious insurance schemes launched by PM Narendra Modi in May 2015 have found over 58

lakh takers in Gujarat, with cities and towns in north Gujarat and Sau-rashtra racing ahead of the rest of the state to be covered. According to the state level bankers’ com-mittee (SLBC) report, until August 10, around 41 lakh people have been covered across the state under the accidental in-surance scheme Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), while under the life insurance scheme Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), 17 lakh citi-zens have been covered.


The sub-division of Guja-rat along with Saurashtra and Kutch has received very less Monsoon rains in the month of August. For instance, Gujarat has received only 39.7 mm of rain against the monthly normal of 267.2 mm. While Saurashtra and Kutch has observed a paltry 13.4 mm of rain against the monthly aver-age of 121 mm. June and July were however, very good months for the re-gion in terms of rainfall. According to the data available with Skymet, rainfall in Gujarat during the month of June was surplus by 5%, while Sau-rashtra and Kutch had ob-served a surplus of 59%. During July the surplus in Saurashtra and Kutch dropped marginally to settle at 42%, while Gu-jarat saw the surplus rise to 11% during the month.


The Sardar Patel Group, one of the outfits spear-heading the Patidar agi-tation for OBC status, on Sunday announced “as-thi yatras” of nine people from the community killed during the widespread vio-lence in Gujarat last week. The group, which recent-ly objected to Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti convener Hardik Patel’s

confrontational ways, also decided to take up the cause of Patel youths who were either killed or injured, or arrested during the violence sparked by the Patidar agitation in Ahmedabad last Tuesday. “We are planning to carry out asthi yatras of the nine deceased from Mehsana, Ahmedabad, Palanpur and Dehgam. We will keep law and order in mind,”


Battling to cope with the Patidar agitation seeking OBC status for the com-munity, Gujarat BJP has started to prepare for the upcoming crucial urban local body (ULB) elec-tions that are likely to be scheduled in October. The party held a meeting of its MPS and MLAs along with senior office- bearers of the party, on Friday. It was decided that the observers for each of the six municipal corporations that are like-ly to go to polls would go and listen to the workers of each ward to decide the party candidates in the first week of Septem-ber. The meeting was at-tended by Chief Minister

Anandiben Patel, presi-dent of Gujarat BJP R C Faldu, state general sec-retary Bhikhubhai Dal-sania, party in-charge for the state Dinesh Sharma, and national vice presi-dent of BJP Parshottam Rupala along with many senior leaders and of-fice-bearers of the party. The six municipal corpo-rations that are likely to go to polls in October in-clude Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Jamna-gar and Bhavnagar. These municipal corporations are likely to go to polls in the first phase whereas, the elections of 31 district panchayats, 231 taluka panchayats and 53 nag-arpalikas are likely in the subsequent phases.


The ban on mobile In-ternet in Ahmedabad, which has remained tense since last Tuesday following a Patidar rally, is likely to be extend-ed for a few more days. While the ban was ex-tended in Vadodara till 10 am Monday due to “law and order” issues, the chances of it being lifted in Ahmedabad also appeared slim. Mo-bile subscribers in state have been unable to ac-cess 2G, 3G and mobile communication services since last Wednesday

THE funeral of 32-year-old Shwetang Patel, who died allegedly in police custody during the quota violence in Gujarat, was held amid tight security here on Sunday morn-ing. Over 500 security personnel, mainly from paramilitary forces, were deployed along the route of the funeral procession in the Patel-dominated Bapunagar as hundreds of people took part in the kilometer-long funeral procession. Local BJP MLA Vallabh Kakadiya and former state home minister Gordhan Za-daphia also attended the funeral. Since Shwetang was the only son of Pra-bhaben, the last rites were performed by sister Palak. Meanwhile, the CID (crime) has started investigations into the

The central government has identified 305 cities and towns across nine states for implementation of the scheme. As many as 305 cities and towns have been identified in nine states for beginning of construction of houses for the urban poor under the scheme, said a senior housing and urban poverty alleviation (HUPA) ministry official.

Apart from Gujarat, the select-ed cities and towns are in Chhattisgarh (36 cit-ies/towns), Jammu and

Equally excited is the industry and trade, who can’t wait to have the hit franchisee translated into an equally big hit on the big screen and set the cash registers ring-ing. What’s more, it’s not just the Gujaratis who are looking forward to

this dhamaka, the trail-er of this movie will be unveiled online on 25th August and on 28thAu-gust in cinemas.

Kashmir (19), Jharkhand (15), Kerala (15), Mad-hya Pradesh (74), Odisha (42), Rajasthan (40) and Telangana (34). Under the ‘Housing for All’ initiative of the central government, named as Pradhan Man-tri Awas Yojana launched by Prime Minister Nar-endra Modi on 25 June this year, two crore hous-es are targeted to be built for the poor in urban areas by year 2022, coinciding with 75 years of Inde-pendence. Besides these

nines states, the official said, six more states have signed memorandum of agreements (MoA) with the ministry committing themselves to implement six mandatory reforms essential for making the housing mission in urban areas a success. The states that have so far agreed to implement the mandatory reform measures are Gu-jarat, Andhra Pradesh, Bi-har, Chhattisgarh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh,

Manipur, Mizoram, Na-galand, Odisha, Rajas-than, Telangana and Ut-tarakhand. By signing the MoA, the states agreed to make necessary chang-es including doing away with the requirement of separate non-agricultural permission in case land falls in residential zone earmarked in master plan of city or town and pre-paring or amending mas-ter plans earmarking land for affordable housing, among others.

alleged custodial killing Tension in the area was palpable as the family was not happy with the FIR filed by the police on the direction of the Guja-rat High Court. Though the FIR has been filed under IPC sections of murder, it does not name anyone particular as ac-cused. With the BJP gov-ernment on the receiving end since violence broke out in the state on Au-gust 25 night, it took no

chance to displease the Patel community further. On Saturday night, the government transferred inspectors PD Parmar and R R Vasavaof Ba-punagar police station. The government also ap-proached the High Court on Saturday anticipating a backlash during the funeral procession. The court had directed the government to take suit-able action to maintain law and order, but cur-

few was not imposed. After performing the last rites, Shwetang’s sister said she wants justice for her brother. Her mother Prabhaben, trying to remain com-posed, said: “I demand suspension of all the po-lice officers responsible for his death. They must be given life imprison-ment.” Palak claimed no one from the govern-ment has approached the family yet.

said Raju Patel, the outfit’s spokesperson. On provid-ing help to the families of the victims and those arrested, he said, “Our immediate priority is to provide financial help to the families of injured and deceased. Then we want to provide legal aid to the Patidar youths who have been lodged in jail follow-ing the violence.” He said people who share their concern, including Har-dik, would be invited to join the procession. Asked about Hardik’s announce-ment to take the Patel agi-tation to the national level, Raju said: “He (Hardik) can take a decision on his own and as per his under-standing.”

following widespread violence in the state. The ban was extended on reg-ular intervals. “The di-rective of the state home department for a state-wide 48 hours blocking of the services would expire on Monday morn-ing. While it might be lifted from other districts, owing to the ‘sensitivi-ty’ prevailing in the city chances are that it could be extended in Ahmed-abad beyond Monday. However, the decision would be taken in a re-view meeting to be held

with the police depart-ment,” said Ahmedabad collector Rajkumar Beni-wal. When asked whether the ban would be lifted on Monday, Ahmedabad po-lice chief Shivanand Jha said, “Let the day (Mon-day) come, then would be able to say something.” On the other hand, Va-dodara Commissioner of Police E Radhakrishana said mobile data services as well as SMS services would continue to remain under suspension until fresh “review” of the sit-uation on Monday.

Rain in Gujarat after a long dry spell

The reason for subdued rain in August can be at-tributed to the absence of any significant weather system in the Arabian Sea. Gujarat normally receives rain during the Monsoon season either from the western arm, a low pres-sure area or a depression. In the month of June two major weather systems – Cyclone Ashobaa and deep depression – had given good rains in the re-gion. But no such weather system has been observed in the month of August.

This spell of dry weather somehow came to an end with light scattered rain in the region on Sunday. Su-rat in a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Sunday received 37 mm of rain. Valsad observed 20 mm, Amreli 3.6 mm and Baro-da 1.2 mm. A trough run-ning from South Pakistan up to western parts of Gu-jarat is feeding moisture to the region from the Ara-bian Sea. South and East Gujarat are expected to receive light to moderate rain for another 48 hours.
