It’s his habit, he does this every time he does this.” The BJP’s Delhi lawmak-er Vijendra Gupta accused Mr Kejriwal of “running away from the press con-ference after saying what

he wanted” and has de-manded the chief min-ister’s resignation. The Delhi government had passed the bill last year to protect the 21 MLAs from a law that disallows elect-ed members from holding offices of profit. Mr Kejri-wal argues that his parlia-mentary secretaries hold no office of profit since they do not draw salary or perks in that role.

achieved from the series. With 107 wins as captain, he equalled Allan Border for the second highest number of wins in ODI history behind Ricky Ponting (165). Also he became the first Indian wicketkeeper-batsman to complete 350 dismissals in 50-overs cricket. How-ever, there wasn’t much else to draw from the three matches as it was one rare series where only four batsmen -- name-ly openers Rahul, Karun Nair, Fazal (this match) and Ambati Rayudu -- got a decent hit in the middle.

Secretary R N Choubey said. There has been a high decibel debate over the continuance of 5/20 norm–whereby only lo-cal airlines having at least five years of operational experience and a fleet of minimum 20 aircraft are allowed to fly overseas. About the decision to scrap the rule, Union min-ister Ravi Shankar Prasad said, “A questionable leg-acy has been thrown into the dustbin.” The 5/20 rule was introduced during the UPA regime. With regard to charging extra from

passengers towards re-gional connectivity fund, Choubey said, “It will be a very, very small levy”. The NDA government had for the first time unveiled the policy draft in Novem-ber 2014, subsequently replacing it with anoth-er draft in October 2015. Initially, the policy was expected to be finalised in the last financial year as certain proposals were to be implemented from April 1, 2016. Since then, the Government has been moving back and forth on the matter, primarily to

repair works of aircraft besides mooting 2 per cent levy on all air tickets to fund regional connectiv-ity scheme and providing viability gap funding for airlines to encourage op-

erate on regional routes. The issue of international flying norm or the 5/20 rule has witnessed exten-sive debate, with lega-cy carriers opposing any changes to the rule, while start-up airlines frantically demanding its scrapping. Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju had last week virtually disap-proved the continuance of this rule asking who has benefited from it, indicat-ing that the government could even mull scrapping

Interestingly, exactly 10 years ago, on June 8, 2006, then Aviation Min-ister Praful Patel had said that “the draft civil avia-tion policy is ready and could be taken up by the Union Cabinet for approv-al this month itself.” Since coming out with the draft policy in October last year, the Ministry has held ex-tensive consultations with various ministries, apart from stakeholders like air-lines, airport operators and ground handling agencies.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYOffice of Profit: A law with limited value?

Citing precedents, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday strongly defended the appointment of 21 parliamentary secretaries, wondering how similar posts under Congress and BJP rule were not considered “un-constitutional” and targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue. The Chief Minister dug out appoint-ments of parliamentary secretaries by Congress and BJP governments in the national capital in the past and said many of them including Ajay Maken, who had held the post, even had his own staff and access to import-ant official files. The ‘office of profit’ law is a bit of a half-wit provision that needs updating. Read it together with the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, popularly called the anti-defection law of 1985, and you’d know. If the former seeks to insulate an elected member from the executive’s influence, the latter makes him a verita-ble vassal of the government if the party to which he’s aligned happens to be in power. Nothing illustrates the contradiction more than the foremost provision of the 10th schedule rooted in the Constitution (52nd Amend-ment) Act. It says: “An elected member of Parliament or a State Legislature, who has been elected as a candi-date set up by a political party……. would be disquali-fied on the ground of defection if he…votes or abstains from voting in the House contrary to any direction of such party.” Now where does that leave the spirit of the prevention of disqualification act--applicable to parlia-ment and state assemblies and predicated on the sep-aration of powers in the constitutional scheme of the legislature, the executive and the judiciary? Also com-ing a cropper in the light of the law against defections is the logic that a legislator, if obligated by an office of profit, would be prone to the executive’s influence in discharge of his duties. Times have changed since the ‘profit concept’ inspired by the British Morley-Minto reforms proposals of 1909 found a place in our consti-tution. Temptations on offer by the executive to the leg-islators aren’t confined today to offices of profit. There are countless other ways to win over or make legisla-tors act under duress-- including the transfer of excess votes by ruling parties to candidates of other parties for elections to Rajya Sabha and Legislative Councils in bicameral assemblies. Can there be a bigger trap than a legislator owing his membership to a party other than his own? We saw it happening in the recent round of elections to the Upper House. Expediently vitiated by many parties, the process made a mockery not just of the constitutional office of profit regulation. It exposed simultaneously the morally brittle plinth holding up the anti-defection law! “The influence principle guiding the office of profit law stands diluted. It’s not as val-id as it was at the time of its framing,” agreed former Lok Sabha secretary general G C Malhotra. “There is a need to change the law…but so long as it’s there, it has to be enforced.” Governments indeed can dole out many favours. But influence peddling is greater these days by private commercial interests with their beach-heads in provincial and central legislatures. How ef-fectively is that being dealt with amid the somewhat legitimate ‘ease of business’ clamour? Even the mad race one sees between legislators to get nominated to influential parliamentary panels has to it the downside of compromise; of remote control by vested interests.

“Most of these assembly seats belong to Congress stalwarts like Mahabal Mishra, Arvinder Singh Lovely and AK Walia. We are confident that we will win majority of these 21 seats if by-elections are held,” - Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken today asserted that

his party will win the majority of the 21 seats if by-elections are held after the disqualification of AAP legislators who have been appointed as Chief Parliamentary Secretaries.

But Ronal-do stormed off after the final whistle, clearly frus-trated by his own failure in front of goal, while Ice-land scored by converting one of only four chanc-es. Iceland’s dogged de-fence was capped by an outstanding display from goalkeeper Hannes Hall-dorsson. “It was difficult over the 90 minutes, be-cause they scored one goal and that was after they had put every player behind the ball,” fumed Ronaldo. “They put the bus in the net.

Indian Railways has launched a new initiative known as “Janani Sewa” at Surat railway station to benefit children by pro-viding hot milk, hot water and baby food items and children’s menu items in trains. Other stations under Western Railway where this facility has been initiated are Mumbai Central, Church gate and Borivali. Under Janani, baby food etc branded products will be sold as per printed price. Addi-tionally 250 ml milk will also be sold as per print-ed price. To get hot milk and sugar, the passenger will have to pay addition-al Rs 2. Janani Sewa was prompted by an incident that occurred recently where a mother and child suffered due to non avail-ability of baby food and milk while travelling in a long distance train. The mother complained about her problem on a social networking site of Indian

Railways expressing mis-eries due to non availabil-ity of infant food like milk on the trains. Taking note of her problem, Minister of Railways responded quickly and instantly ar-ranged to serve hot milk to her baby at the next station itself. Taking a cue from this incident Minis-ter for Railways Suresh Prabhu in his Budget for 2016-17 announced a policy initiative to make available food for chil-dren beses hot water, milk and baby food. In tune with this policy, South Central Railway also in-troduced Janani Sewa outlets from June 9. Rail-ways took special inter-est to ensure availability of Janani Sewa services extensively at all major Railway Stations and on board important long dis-tance trains. Janani Sewa outlet with hot milk, hot water and baby food items has been started at Surat railway station ac-cordingly.

While the makers of Udta Punjab got relief from the Bombay High Court which allowed its release with just one cut, a Guja-rati film based on the Pati-dar quota agitation, which was set for release on June 17, is struggling to get the go-ahead from the Cen-tral Board of Film Certi-fication (CBFC). Salagto Sawaal Anamat (Burning Question of Reservation), made with Rs 45 lakh budget, is under a cloud as the certifying body has objected to its protago-nist’s “resemblance” with Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) leader Hardik Patel, who is cur-rently in jail under sedi-tion charges. The body has also objected to a few

dialogues in the film for allegedly being against Babasaheb Ambedkar. It has also asked the mak-ers of the film to remove the word “Patidar”. The filmmakers are current-ly awaiting a nod from a revising committee after it filed an appeal for a re-trial of the film with the CBFC. The producers and production manager of the film held a meeting with the CBFC officials Tuesday and a decision in this regard is awaited. For producers Anuj Vyas, Jaipratapsinh Chauhan and Amaresh Thakkar, it’s their first venture. The film’s writer-director, 26-year-old Rajesh Gohil, comes from Vadodara and has earlier worked on sev-en Gujarati films.

In a strange develop-ment, police in Gujarat have taken into custody 18 male lions for the mur-der of three persons. The police will now take the paw-prints of all 18 ‘sus-pects’ and get their feces tested as part of their ef-fort to find out which of the big cats is guilty of murder. And once it is clear who the culprit is, he will be handed a ‘life sentence’. That is, the guilty male lion would be sent to a zoo for his entire life. And the rest of the Asiatic lions would then be released back into the wild.The Washington Post quot-ed JA Khan, state’s top forest official, as saying,

The one-man inquiry panel probing the miss-ing files related to Ishrat Jahan case has concluded that the papers were “re-moved knowingly or un-knowingly or misplaced” in September, 2009, a pe-riod when Congress lead-er P Chidambaram was the Home Minister. Only one paper out of the five documents related to the controversial alleged Ish-rat fake encounter case that went missing from the Home Ministry was found, said Additional Secretary in the Home Ministry B K Prasad in his inquiry report sub-mitted to Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehri-shi. “It is evident that the documents were removed

“We think we have pin-pointed the guilty lion, but we are still awaiting the results of nine more animals.” Meanwhile, wildlife expert Ruchi Dave said, “The officials are also studying the an-imals’ behaviour. Man eating lions usually get aggressive at the sight of a human being.” The decrease in forest area has led to an increase in man-animal conflict in

recent years and species on both sides lose life as part of the conflict. It is estimated that there are some 400 Asiatic li-ons left in the wild and most of them live inside the Gir National Park in Gujarat. The Park, on the other hand, can only ac-commodate 270 which sometimes forces some of the big cats to venture outside and ‘clash’ with humans.

A class 12 student became both examinee and

examiner when he wrote his

economics paper

examined his answer sheets in two subjects — geography and eco-nomics. While the irreg-ularity done by Harshad in geography paper was caught by alert examiner after which he got just 34 marks in the subject, he got full marks in econom-ics as assessing teachers failed to spot the glaring error. Harshad would have got away with the major fraud, but the com-puter software caught the discrepancies in his result. Harshad came un-der scanner after Gujarat Board’s computer soft-ware showed major dis-crepancies in his result

as he got 100/100 in eco-nomics while he scored poorly in other subjects — Gujarati (13), English (12), Sanskrit (4), sociol-ogy (20), psychology (5) and geography (35). “To avoid suspicion, the boy had not marked the total on the main page. But the group of seven teachers that was supposed to as-sess each question and put their signature should have spotted the anoma-ly. The teachers just did the total and endorsed the boy’s paper assessment by putting 100/100 as fi-nal total,” GSHSEB sec-retary (examination) G D Patel told agency.

knowingly or unknow-ingly or misplaced,” the inquiry committee has concluded. The inquiry panel, however, made no reference to Chidam-baram or anyone in the then UPA government. Congress leader Chid-ambaram was the Home Minister then. Based on the statements of 11 serv-ing and retired officers, including the then Home Secretary G K Pillai, the 52 -page report said the documents went missing between September 18-28, 2009. The second af-fidavit, which was differ-

ent from the first one, and filed before Gujarat High Court on September 29, 2009, had said there was no conclusive evidence to suggest that Ishrat was an LeT operative. The pa-pers which went missing are office copy of the let-ter and enclosure sent by the then Home Secretary to the Attorney General on September 18, 2009, office copy of the letter sent by the them Home Secretary to the AG on September 23, 2009, draft further affidavit as vetted by the AG, draft further affidavit amended by the then Home Minister on September 24, 2009 and office copy if the further affidavit filed with the Gujarat High Court on September 29, 2009.

It said, “the police force of a state can’t be headed by a person ac-cused of extremely seri-ous offence of murder of four persons, especially, when the trials are yet to begin. In a sense, such an appointment is itself a breach of law, being arbi-trary and in violation of Article 14 of the Consti-tution of India.”
