A major tragedy was averted when the lo-cal shopkeepers in the busy Shalamar market of Jammu helped douse a fire by using the fire extinguishers present in their shops. A pow-er transformer outside a bank branch at the busy Shalamar mar-ket caught fire due to short-circuit and soon it was into flames. “We the local shopkeepers took out our fire ex-tinguishers to douse the fire before it could spread to other areas,” a local shopkeeper said.Interesting roles are

Education and Wel-fare Department has supplied text books to students belonging to SC/BC categories in the state complying with the directives of the Punjab State Com-mission for Scheduled Castes. During a sur-prise checking of var-ious schools across the state by Commis-sion Chairman Rajesh Bagha earlier this month, it was noticed SC/BC students did not get the text books despite starting of aca-demic session a month ago. Considering the apathetic approach of the Education and Wel-fare Department to-wards SC/BC students, Bagha directed it to ensure the availability and delivery of books to the students within fortnight, an official spokesman said here today.

A parliamentary pan-el has pitched for 100% hike in salary and daily allowances of MPs and 75% raise in pension of ex-MPs apart from facil-ities for their ‘compan-ions’ in place of ‘spous-es’. In far reaching recommendations, the panel, headed by Bharati-ya Janata Party MP Yogi Adityanath, has sought doubling of the existing Rs.50,000 salary of MPs and favoured increasing the pension of former parliamentarians from Rs.20,000 to Rs.35,000.

In a controversial move, the BJP government in Maharashtra on Thursday decided to de-recognise Madrasas which give stu-dents education only on religion without impart-ing formal education like teaching English, Maths and Science subjects. The registered Madrasas not teaching primary sub-jects will be classified by the state government as “non-schools” and chil-

dren studying in them will be considered “out of school” students. The move has raised the hack-les of Muslim leaders as well as the opposition parties in the state. “Ma-drasas are giving students education on religion and not giving them formal education.

Instead of resorting to dharnas and obstruction-ist politics, the Aam Aad-mi Party (AAP) has gone into a softer mode by making appeals on public forums on the on-going tussle between the Del-hi government and the Lieutenant Governor. In its latest move, the AAP has appealed on behalf of Delhi government by writing an open letter to Delhi L-G Najeeb Jung seeking his cooperation and support, so that the promises made by the party in its manifesto could be implemented. After coming up with the Delhi budget, the AAP feels that the Delhi gov-ernment may find it diffi-cult to implement its plans and projects, if the feud between the government

and the L-G continues – whether it’s related to the issue of women’s safety or giving a free hand to Delhi’s Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) in curbing corruption in the national capital. In an open letter addressed to the L-G, the convener of Delhi State Unit of AAP, Dilip Pan-dey has mentioned, “To remind you, one of the founding principles of the Aam Aadmi Party has

been to espouse the cause of women’s upliftment, empowerment, safety and security: not just of their physical self but of their mental, spiritual, eco-nomic and social identi-ty as well. This is some-thing, which is closest to the heart of AAP... Delhi has become an unsafe city for women and the Cen-tral Government, which has control over the Delhi Police, has done nothing

about it. Thus, this re-quest by our party to ac-cept the policy proposal of the Delhi Government was neither irrational nor untenable… When we failed to convince you how important is this women issue, we had to raise our voices in main-stream and social me-dia. This perhaps made you think we were right at first place and then you acted by releasing Home-guards in phased manner. It is our belief that you should support pro-people policy when it comes at your doorstep for approval. You are on a Constitutional position of the Delhi government and it is imperative that you listen to the views of its citizens directly and indirectly through its po-litical representatives.”

ment sessions should be doubled to Rs.4,000. It is learnt that some ex-MPs, who appeared before the panel rued that while they are given a first class ticket to travel on train, their companions, even if it is the spouse, can travel only second class. The panel is learnt to have recommended

that both the ex-MP and the ‘companion’ should get first class tickets. Be-sides, the panel is of the view that ex-MPs should be allowed to travel by air five times a year in economy class. The sit-ting MPs are allowed to fly executive class around three dozen times in a year.

exactly what transpired on two flights which were allegedly delayed due to VIP tantrums. The min-ister also acknowledged that the Prime Minister’s Office has sought a de-tailed report on the two incidents. Now, after Air India does manage to sub-

mit a report of the two in-cidents, Raju will consult civil aviation secretary RN Choubey before de-ciding on a course of ac-tion. Though the minister hesitated to say what the action or actions would be, isn’t it only natural to expect some heads to

roll in Air India for in-conveniencing hundreds of passengers just for a handful of VIPs? Air In-dia has been in the news for all the wrong reasons this past week, prompting sceptics to again ques-tion the rationale of this government shying away from privatising the white elephant. The airline con-tinues to bleed despite thousands of crores hav-ing been pumped in as equity over the years, has missed key milestones of its turnaround plan and is facing stiff competition from private airlines.

Minister Eknath Khadse said. “If a Hindu or Chris-tian child wants to study in a Madrasa, they will not be allowed to study there. Thus, Madrasa is

not a school but a source of religious education. Thus we have asked them to teach students other subjects as well. Other-wise these Madrasas will

be considered as non- schools,” Khadse said. He said the Principal Secretary of Minority Af-fairs department Jayshree Mukherjee has written a letter to Principal Secre-tary of School Education and Sports Nand Kumar in this regard. Khadse said the School Education department has planned a survey of students that are not taking formal ed-ucation on July 4. “Stu-dents who are studying in Madrasas that do not provide formal educa-tion will be treated as out of school students. Our only aim behind doing this is to ensure that ev-ery child of the minority

community gets a chance to learn and come into the mainstream, get good paying jobs and have a prosperous future,” Khadse said. The minis-ter said that out of a to-tal 1,890 registered Ma-drasas in the state, 550 have agreed to teach the four subjects to students. “We are even ready to pay Madrasas for giving students formal educa-tion and are ready to pro-vide them teaching staff as well,” Khadse said. Asaduddin Owaisi, who is the President of AIM-IM, questioned the ratio-nale behind the govern-ment decision, and asked whether students being

imparted Vedic studies will also be considered out-of-school children. “There are many Ma-drasas that are teaching Maths, English and Sci-ence. Many Madarasa students have gone ahead and cracked civil service exam”, he said. Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind General Secretary Maulana Mah-mood Madani said that whatever happened is “unacceptable”. Calling the move unconstitu-tional, Congress spokes-person Sanjay Nirupam said, “No child should be discriminated along reli-gious lines. We are going to take the issue in the state Assembly.”

QUOTE OF THE

DAYIndian lawmakers above the law?All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. The Indian Republic has had its Orwellian moments. It is not uncommon to hear the complaint that lawmakers are above the law in India. From gun-toting members of legislative assembly (MLAs) threatening toll-booth operators to actual allegations to criminal activities, violations of the law of the land don’t surprise anymore. But what is happening is Maharashtra is in a different class alto-gether. Almost a month has passed since Maharash-tra initiated amendments to sections 156(3) and 190 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC). Section 156 deals with the power of a police offi-cer to investigate a cognizable case; sub-section 3 of this part empowers a magistrate to order an inves-tigation under this section. Section 190 empowers a magistrate to take cognizance of offences. Under the amendments moved in Maharashtra, police of-ficers cannot register cases against members of the legislative assembly (MLAs) without the permission of the speaker of the assembly. Even worse, cases cannot be registered against civil servants without the permission of the chief secretary. These changes are almost revolutionary: with the stroke of a pen an entire class of citizens has been put on a differ-ent standing before the law. An ordinary citizen has to face the law directly if he commits any criminal offence. A police officer requires no authorization to investigate a breach of the law. Police officers and magistrates now have to seek the permission of “competent authorities” before they can even begin investigating allegations of crimes by legislators and officers. There is a practical side to the matter. Legislators and civil servants wield immense pow-er by the nature of their work. The danger of abuse of power—very often criminal in nature—is greatly amplified for this class of people. There is sufficient evidence—in terms of criminal proceedings against many legislators and officers across the country—that this fear is very real. Giving legal protection to this class greatly increases the danger of greater criminality on their part. At a broader level, this is-sue is linked with that of Parliamentary privilege. The Constitution gives a measure of privilege to legislators, as it should be in any civilized country. Article 105(3) of the Constitution allows these priv-ileges to be defined by law from time to time (in case of members of Parliament). Article 194(3) does the same for MLAs. But these privileges have never been codified and this has been to the detriment of all citizens. In fact, undetermined privilege is another way for their extraordinary extension. Among other privileges, legislators cannot be arrested without in-forming the Speaker of an assembly/Lok Sabha and the vice-president (in case of members of the Rajya Sabha). Similarly, legislators cannot be subjected to legal proceedings for any vote or for what they say in the legislature.

Indian cricketer Suresh Raina on Thursday re-jected Lalit Modi’s alle-gations that he accepted bribes from a business-man, insisting he was never involved in any wrongdoing, adding that he is considering legal action against the for-mer IPL Commissioner. “In the wake of recent media reports about me, I would like to make my fans around the world aware and clear the air that I have always played the game in right spirit and with utmost integri-ty,” Raina said in a state-ment issued by sports

management firm Rhiti Sports, with which he is associated. “I have nev-er been involved in any wrong doing and all al-legations against me are false. Playing cricket is my passion for whichev-er team I have represent-ed.

Lon-don-based Modi tweeted a letter he claimed to have written to International

Cricket Council (ICC) CEO David Richardson in June 2013. Modi then went on to name the three players, who he claimed were in close contact with the real estate tycoon who was also named in the letter. Modi stated that he had been informed by “reliable sources” that the tycoon had paid in cash and kind to the three players. The ICC ac-knowledged receiving the letter from Modi but gave the cricketers a clean chit saying that no evidence was found against them. The BCCI also effective-ly gave a clean chit to the players.

For the first time, an Indi-an Premier League team is on the verge of chang-ing hands. JSW Steel chairman, Sajjan Jindal, confirmed on Wednesday that his group is acquir-ing an IPL side without naming it amid specula-tion that it could be Roy-al Challengers Bangalore, owned by liquor baron Vijay Mallya. “Cricket is the number one sport in our country, so there is an idea to acquire a team... an IPL team. But I can-not comment which team

it would be,” said Jindal. “Moneywise I don’t think that is the issue (because) the idea is that we want to take some credible team so that we can promote sports,” he told report-ers. Asked whether the steel giant will indeed buy RCB, Jindal just said: “That depends on them (RCB).” Mallya made the second highest bid of $111.6 million to buy the Bangalore franchise in 2008. There have been reports that JSW wants to acquire the Virat Kohli-led team. The group’s sports

wing, JSW Sports, owns I-League club, Bengaluru FC, the Sunil Chhetri-led side which won the title in 2014. Jindal said his group was building a village for sports in Karnataka and would also focus on oth-er sports like kabaddi and hockey. “We are looking at kabaddi and hockey, we also want to go pan-India in various sports through JSW Sports.” If the group buys RCB, it will be the first IPL team to be sold, although one or two other franchise owners are keen to sell.

The merit list for admis-sion to medical and para-medical courses will be declared on Friday. There are 28,558 students in fray for 11,000-odd seats.The merit list was to be declared on Wednesday, but it was deferred due to technical reasons. The board had recently sent the changes in the marks after the reassessment of the answersheets. The of-ficials of the Admission Committee of Medical and Para Medical Cours-es said that barring two medical colleges, all the self-financed colleges have surrendered their management and NRI quotas. The officials said that with the Medical Council of India (MCI) approving two new col-leges, there will be 3,080 seats in medical which

Later, two col-leges decided to surrender their quota. However, two medical colleges — one each in Surendranagar and Karamsad — have already issued advertise-ments for admission on NRI and management quota. The two colleges, if found guilty, will be liable for a fine which will be as high as Rs 5 lakh per seat.According to the rules, the colleges are supposed to issue ad-vertisement and then pre-pare a merit list for man-agement and NRI quotas. The college management will then have to come to the admission committee for the final decision.


President Pranab Mukher-jee has given assent to two key bills, namely, ‘The Presidency Small Cause Courts Bill-2015’ and ‘Provincial Small Cause Courts Bill-2015’ passed by the state assembly during the budget session this year. However, two other crucial bills — Gu-jarat Control of Terror-ism and Organized Crime (GCTOC) Bill-2015, and Labour Laws (Gujarat amendment) Bill-2015 — that were also passed

by the state assembly and approved by the Gover-nor, are still pending with the central government. Under the provisions of the Presidency Small Cause Courts Act-1882, the financial jurisdiction of the Small Cause Court was only Rs 2 lakh since 2002. The pecuniary ju-risdiction of a civil judge, whose cadre is junior to that of a judge of Small Cause Court, was raised to Rs 10 lakh in 2014. Considering this and in view of the fall in pur-


With a view to imbue stu-dents with entrepreneur-ship, Gujarat government is likely to introduce a chapter on Reliance Group founder Dhirub-hai Ambani in school textbooks, officials said recently. “Minister of Ed-ucation (Bhupendrasinh Chudasma) put forth the idea in a recently held meeting attended by the office-bearers of the state textbook board that our children should be taught about lives and struggles of famous personalities, like Dhirubhai Ambani and others,” Gujarat State School Textbook Board (GSSTB) chief Nitin Pethani. Later, he said, chapters will be included on the lives of other fa-mous as well as the less-known personalities who made a contribution to

society with their work. “Apart from Dhirubhai Ambani, there are many unknown personalities who had given their best to the society in terms of industrial entrepreneur-ship, for example Dev-karan Nanji, the founder of Dena Bank. “There-fore on instructions of the minister (Chudasma), we have directed text-book officials to make a list of such eminent personali-ties which we are likely to add in the curriculum of standard IX to XII or we can also add it in the general knowledge books from standard VI to VIII,” said Pethani. The aim, be-sides to teach the spirit of entrepreneurship to the children, is to enlighten the students with the lives of eminent business per-sonalities of Gujarat who made a name globally, he said.


Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel today said the state could be-come a model state in India in terms of devel-opment due to the com-munal harmony prevail-ing for the last 13-14 years. The state had wit-nessed major riots in 2002 after Godhra train-burn-ing incident. Patel today inaugurated ‘Vasant-Ra-jab Friendship Memo-rial’ on the premises of city crime branch office in Gaekwad Haveli area here. “I remember the past incidents of commu-nal violence in Ahmed-abad. But such incidents haven’t taken place in the past 13-14 years. Due to this communal harmony and peace, Gujarat de-veloped and became a model state,” she said on the occasion. Vasantrao Hegishte, a Hindu, and his


A senior citizen from New Delhi has moved a plea in the Gujarat High Court for joining as a party to oppose the bail plea of Afroz Hassan Fat-ta, alleged kingpin of Rs 10,000 crore Surat hawa-la racket. During the hear-ing on the bail petition on Tuesday, Fatta’s lawyer opposed the plea of RN Sharma, a retired govern-ment employee from Del-hi, saying that he has no locus. However, Sharma has said he has already filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court in public interest demanding CBI probe in the case as the case is not properly in-vestigated by Surat po-lice. The case was first detected by Enforcement Directorate that is prob-ing the case under Pre-vention of Money Laun-


India’s edition of argu-ably the world’s most renowned lifestyle fair, Ambiente & Heimtextil, took place in Delhi last week. One of the high-lights of the event was an all-India theme-based competition, the Interior Lifestyle Awards.While Jaipur-based Ayush Kas-liwal was awarded the trophy in the Interior

Decor category, Ahmed-abad-based Vandana and Anar Patel of Craftroots were declared winners in the Home Textile cate-gory. The winning entry by Craftroots comprised a bed cover called Sujni, which required four-five looms and incorporated both weaving and quilt-ing. The other product, Mashru, was a two-sided cushion cover.


As the residents of Jamal-pur, one of Ahmedabad’s minority dominated ar-eas, were breaking their Ramzan fast Wednesday evening, the crime branch that has earned notoriety in the community opened the doors of its execu-tive office — Gaekwad Haveli, a fortress from the Maratha era — to the public for the first time. Chief Minister Anandi-ben Patel inaugurating the “Bandhutva Smarak”, a memorial to two men who died trying to broker peace between Hindus and Muslims, inside the crime branch compound also marked a major out-reach move by a BJP CM in Gujarat, who waved at the crowd having fairly large representation from

The ED officials have detected trails of bank accounts leading to a transfer of over Rs.10,000 crore to Dubai and Hong Kong through hawala channel. On the other hand, Surat police is investigating a criminal case related to firing at Surat resident who was mistaken as Afroz Fatta. In this case Fatta was granted bail by the high court while his bail application in PMLA case is being heard in the

court. Earlier, his bail ap-plications were rejected by special PMLA court as well as high court. After a brief argument, Justice Z K Saiyed issued a notice to the state government as well as the ED and ad-journed the matter for fur-ther hearing. Earlier too, when Fatta moved a pe-tition seeking temporary bail on medical grounds, Sharma had opposed the plea alleging the medical certificates produced by the accused were forged. Fatta withdrew the plea eventually.

Muslim friend Rajabali Lakhani laid down their lives while trying to stop communal riots in the city during Rathyatra in 1946. Both had taken part in the freedom movement earlier. The Chief Minis-ter appreciated the idea of building the memorial. “I thank all those who came up with the idea of build-ing a memorial and exe-cuted it. This memorial will always make people think twice before hurl-ing a stone, which incites a full-blown violence and

takes lives. Due to the prevailing peace, many lives are saved,” said Pa-tel. “People should keep in mind the cause for which these two friends, one Hindu and another a Muslim, laid their lives. In the times of commu-nal tension, I urge you to sit together and arrive at compromise, so that no one has to lose their dear ones,” said Patel. The monument -- a museum -- has been built inside a three-storied watch-tow-er of royal era.

the minority community. For the last eight months, officers of the crime branch were working to renovate and rebuild this 18th century watchtower on the haveli premises, to house a memorial to the two friends —Vasantrao Hegishte, a Maharashtri-an from Ratnagiri, and Rajab Ali Lakhani, pop-ularly known as “Khoja Muslim”, from Limdi in Surendranagar —who were killed when com-munal riots broke out

during the rath yatra of July 1, 1946, in Ja-malpur. Hegisthe and Lakhani were members of Congress Seva Dal. Though the watchtower has no connection with the men or their death, the crime branch decid-ed to build the three-sto-rey air-conditioned mu-seum there as also part of its “image makeover” bid ahead of this year’s rath yatra on July 18, which coincides with the Eid festivities.

Nothing can be more gratifying than receiving appreciation from the citizens for the good work done by government employees. One such incident happened with Mr Iyer, resident of Rander in Surat. Mr Iyer’s scooter sunk in the earth after a Peepal tree fell on his vehicle due to the recent cyclonic winds in South Gujarat. After failing to seek help from the people nearby, Mr Iyer who is over 70 years of age, sought help from Surat Municipal Corporation Fire Fighting staff that was working hard towards clearing the blocked road caused by the tree-fall. SMC Fire Fighting staff not only helped to get vehicle out of the sinkhole but politely refused to accept token of appreciation extended by Mr Iyer for their good work and instead just asked him to bless them. Mr Iyer was not just pleased with the behavior and service of the SMC staff but was surprisingly happy to see how our KarmaYogis detested any form of bribery/corruption.

to discuss this aspect of land acquisition…Public Policy has received in-adequate attention in our country, both by academ-ics and practitioners. We feel that the vision of new India needs discourse and deeper understanding of this subject; the School of Public Policy will contribute immensely to-wards this cause,” said Sajjan Jindal, CMD, JSW Steel Ltd. at a press meet held at IIMA. IIMA’s one year policy programme PGP-PMP which had opened amidst much fan-fare, had to be shut down in three years owing to a lukewarm response from policymakers from the government and industry leaders for whom it was intended. Speaking about future plans of the new school, IIMA Director Ashish Nanda said, “We have outlined a place in the new campus where the school will come up.

Currently, court fees in legal suits, appeals and applications filed in Small Cause Courts, and process fees are applicable ac-cording to the provisions of Gujarat Court Fees Act-2004. This has been raised by the amendment. Under the Provincial Small Cause Courts Act too the financial jurisdic-tion of the courts has been increased from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 10 lakh. Regarding GCTOC Bill-2015, and Labour Laws (Gujarat amendment) Bill-2015, sources said the state gov-ernment had recently fol-lowed them up with the central government.
