Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today hit out at Del-hi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his alleged “brazen opposition to the state over the Sutlej-Ya-muna Link (SYL) issue” through a affidavit sub-mitted in the Supreme Court. Sharpening his attack on the Aam Admi Party national convener, Badal asked him to come to Punjab and “speak the same words which he has spoken in the national capital”. The Shiromani Akali Dal President also asked Kejriwal to clear his stand on the riprarian principle on the rights of river waters.

But the Akali government has ignored it,” he said here after a meeting with 2,000-2,500 party members in-cluding MLAs, MPs and office-bearers. Accusing the SAD-BJP govern-ment of not being seri-ous about eliminating the drug problem, he said.

A special PMLA court in Mumbai on Saturday reserved its order on En-forcement Directorate’s plea for non-bailable warrant against busi-nessman Vijay Mallya for April 18. A non-bail-

Calling upon people in-volved in Naxal activities to give up violence, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said if they are ready to give up violence, talks can take place with them, adding that violence has no place in a democracy. “There is

A non-bailable warrant was issued against Mallya after he refused to

return to India to appear before the ED on three different occasions

to appear before the probe agency on April 9, despite being summoned three times by the ED. The agency had issued fresh summons to Mallya after he sought two extensions from the earlier dates of March 18 and April 2 citing official reasons. Kingfisher Airlines has defaulted on bank loans of over Rs 7000 crore. Kingfisher owes over Rs 9000 crore to 17 banks in the country.

He, however warned, “I have also said they should give up vio-lence or they will have to give it up.”cPatting Chief Minister Raman Singh’s back for carrying out de-velopmental works in the state, the Home Minister said, “I am satisfied with the pace of development taking place in the Nax-al-affected areas under Chief Minister Singh, and I understand that in coming years all under-developed areas will be developed.” When asked whether the government

was planning air opera-tions in Naxal-hit areas as there has been train-ing and preparations for air operations, Singh said there is nothing like that and added that he did not have more to say on this. When told about a video released in Pakistan-oc-cupied Kashmir, where people were demanding freedom from Pakistan, Singh said, “I too have seen it, but as far as India is concerned, our effort is to improve the rela-tionship between the two countries. Now, Pakistan needs to take the initia-tive, because we are mak-ing regular effort.”

Sticking to its guns, China on Saturday again justified its decision to block In-dia’s bid to get JeM chief Masood Azhar designated as a terrorist by the UN and described its stance as “fair and based on facts”. “China always deals with the listing of 1267 com-mittee based on facts and pursuant to UN Security Council resolutions and relevant rules in a fair manner,” Chinese Foreign Ministry said in response to India’s Permanent Rep-resentative to the UN Syed Akbaruddin’s criticism of “hidden veto” in dealing

with the listing of terrorist outfits and their leaders. “We have noticed the re-marks by India’s Perma-nent Representative to the UN,” the Foreign Ministry said in written response to a question from reporters. “Both China and India fall victim to terrorism and share similar positions

when it comes to com-bating terrorism,” it said. China is one of the five veto-wielding members of the UNSC which plays a leading role in banning terrorist outfits. “China supports the UN in play-ing a leading role in in-ternational anti-terrorism cooperation and takes an

active part in internation-al anti-terrorism cooper-ation,” the Ministry said. “In order to reach inter-national consensus on counter terrorism, China encourage all parties to fully leverage the lead-ing and coordinating role played by the UN and the Security Council and forge international syner-gy on counter-terrorism,” it said. This is the sec-ond time that China has defended the decision to put a technical hold on India’s bid to ban Azhar, the mastermind of the January 2 Pathankot ter-rorist attack.

Handwara incident: Mother says girl pressured into giving statement

Agency | Srinagar

The family of the girl, whose alleged harassment led to a spate of violence in Kashmir, on Satur-day claimed that she was pressurised into giving a video statement denying she was molested and has approached court seeking an independent probe into the incident. “My girl is just 16 years old and was alone in the police station when her statement was recorded. She was pres-

surised by police to give that statement,” her moth-er claimed. A civil society group scheduled a press conference in Srinagar for the family but it was not al-lowed by police. Talking to reporters, the girl’s mother alleged that police detained her daughter without in-forming the family and

revealed her identity by recoding the video state-ment without covering her face. She said, “When the girl was returning home after school on Tuesday, she went to a bathroom and was followed by an army man. When she saw the army man in the bathroom, she raised an alarm, attracting attention of the nearby shopkeep-ers. The policemen also came to the scene but the army man fled.”

Scores of people were feared buried alive on Saturday after two pow-erful quakes hit southern Japan a day apart, killing at least 41 people, as a forecast storm threatened more devastating land-slides. Homes, roads and railway lines were swept away when huge hillsides collapsed as thousands of tonnes of mud was dis-lodged by the thunderous seismic tremors. Build-ings were reduced to rub-ble, including a university dormitory and apartment complexes, with dozens of people unaccounted for over a wide area. ”We are aware of multiple

locations where people have been buried alive,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a press conference. “Po-lice, firefighters and Self Defense Force (military) personnel are doing all they can to rescue them.” More than 90,000 peo-ple have been evacuated, including 300 from an area near a dam thought to be at risk of collapse. A hospital was left tee-tering by the 7.0 quake, with doctors and patients rushed from the build-ing in darkness. Isolated villages in mountainous areas near the city of Ku-mamoto were completely cut off by landslides and

damage to roads. At least 500 people were believed trapped in one settlement and expected to spend the night in public build-ings, reports said. Aerial footage showed a bridge on a main trunk road had crashed onto the carriage-way below it, its pillars felled. The quake came as emergency responders were working to reach ar-eas hit by a 6.2 magnitude tremor that struck late Thursday. Both quakes were very shallow and caused violent shaking. The eruption of a near-by volcano fuelled fears, although seismologists cautioned there was no evidence of a link to the

quake and said activity was limited. Aftershocks continued to rock Kuma-

moto on Kyushu island and its surroundings, an area unaccustomed to the powerful quakes that reg-ularly rattle other parts of Japan. Thursday’s ini-tial quake affected old-er buildings and killed

nine people, but today’s brought newer structures crashing down, includ-ing a municipal office in the city of Uto. “The death toll rose to 41,” Akira Ito, a spokesman at the Kumamoto pre-

fectural government, said. Nearly 1,000 peo-ple have been hurt, 184 of them seriously, he added. Tokai University announced that two of its students, who were among around a dozen trapped in a dormitory building in Minami-Aso, were now known to have died. “We offer our sin-cerest prayers for the two,” said a statement on its website. “We’re try-ing to confirm the safe-ty of other students.” At least one of the dead was killed when a fire ripped through an apartment complex in the town of Yatsushiro, a local offi-cial said.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYIndian cricket and BCCI, are both in need of a clean-up..?

There is little doubt that Indian cricket and its gov-erning body, the Board of Control for Cricket in India or BCCI, are both in need of a clean-up. But in spite of that, the Supreme Court’s question as to why the state cannot carry out the BCCI’s public functions is difficult to understand. A two-judge bench won-dered why, for example, Parliament could not pick the Indian team. The matter at hand was the imple-mentation of the recommendations of the Court-or-dered Lodha committee into the functioning of the BCCI that was set up in the wake of the IPL 2013 spot-fixing scandal. The committee submitted its re-port to the Court in early January of 2016, saying that the BCCI had not taken any “steps to prevent the sport from an orgy of excess”. However, some specific recommendations have proved controver-sial - for example, the one suggesting ministers and public officials not be cricket administrators. The committee’s suggestion of a ‘one state, one vote’ system, which would disempower traditional crick-et associations in Baroda and Mumbai, is also be-ing contested legally. Certainly, many of the Lodha committee suggestions make sense. But the cricket associations’ argument that, given they are private entities, the state has a limited right to interfere in their functioning, has considerable force. Whether or not cricket is a game in which the public at large has an interest is irrelevant; the principle of govern-ment non-intervention in the affairs of private con-cerns like the BCCI should be paramount. After all, the “Indian” team is simply the players selected by one private organisation, the BCCI, to represent it in tournaments organised by another private organisa-tion, the International Cricket Council or ICC. When seen this way, it is difficult to see how it is Parlia-ment’s business at all. The counter-argument would be that, even if the BCCI is merely sending players to represent it at the ICC’s tournaments, there is still a “national” character to the activity, with the play-ing eleven supposedly representing India. Howev-er, this can easily be dealt with: first, by allowing alternative boards to spring up, and not creating a monopoly for the BCCI over Indian cricket; and sec-ond, by ensuring that the “India” name cannot be used by a team - whether in cricket or in any oth-er sport - without the selection and other processes following certain norms of transparency. For exam-ple, any funds gained from the use of the “India” name could be made subject to investigation by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India if neces-sary. Alternatively, and this may be a better solution, since these are all bodies registered under the Soci-eties Act, the registrar of societies must stop being a toothless outfit that has long gone to sleep.

BJP inaugurated the first of seven Samajik Samras-ta Sammelans on Friday, and targeted Opposition Congress for being “un-fair” towards architect of the Constitution B R Ambedkar and using his name just for its vote-bank politics. Launching the Samajik Samrasta Sam-melan, being organised by BJP Scheduled Caste Morcha, Chief Minister Anandiben Patel went into a campaign mode for the 2017 Assembly elections and said it was only the BJP government in Gujarat that emulated and convert-ed Ambedkar’s thoughts into actions.

Gujarat Lions all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will miss Saturday’s Indian Premier League match against Mumbai Indians as he is all set to tie the nuptial knot with fiancé Riva So-lanki in Rajkot on Sun-day. “Ravindra Jadeja is not going to play today’s match and has not come to Mumbai with the team as he is getting married to-morrow,” sources in Gu-jarat Lions team said. “It is also not sure whether he would be available for game against Sunrisers Hyderabad to be played on April 21,” sources said adding that the game is to be played in Rajkot and

his sudden ouster from the top police post in the state.With Thakur being moved to Delhi, Pandey, who was made a DGP-rank officer in 2013, has become the senior-most IPS officer in the state. Chief Secretary G R Al-oria confirmed that Pan-dey has been given addi-tional charge of the top post. The order on Thak-ur’s appointment stated,

“The appointments com-mittee of the Cabinet has approved the appoint-ment of P C Thakur, IPS as Director General, fire services, civil defence & home guards… for a period up to the date of his superannuation i.e 31/12/2016 from the date of assumption of charge of the post or until fur-ther orders, whichever is earlier.”

Gujarat Lions team members are expected to attend the wedding reception on Sunday evening

therefore there are still chances of Jadeja playing in that match. The new en-trant in the ninth edition of IPL has so far played well, registering two wins in two matches. Jadeja, one of the team’s key player, played well in the game against

Rising Pune Supergiants where he took two wick-ets and conceded only 18 runs in his four-over spell. Sources also said that Gu-jarat Lions team members are expected to attend the wedding reception Sunday evening.

According to police, the drug haul worth Rs 270 crore in the international market. Ra-thod’s son Kishore, once arrested in a fake cur-rency case, is wanted by police along with at least four co-accused. Police said they were running an international drug traf-ficking racket. The stock of ephedrine, seized by a joint team of Gujarat ATS and Detection of Crime Branch (DCB), Ahmed-

abad, was brought from a pharmaceutical factory at Solapur in Maharashtra for processing, said Deepan Bhadran, deputy commis-sioner of police, DCB. J K Bhatt, joint commissioner of police, DCB, said: “Af-ter processing, it was to be used for making party drugs such as Glass, ICE and TINA. This was be-ing done at the instance of Kishore, who is the main accused in the case. He held meetings with foreign

drug smugglers in Dubai. The party drugs were to be smuggled to Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Poland and other countries.” He said, “This is one of the biggest hauls of narcotics in the state.” The probe has been handed over the ATS. According to police, the drugs were supposed to be sent to Goa in form of medicines and then exported to other nations and, also sent to various cities in the country.

The Mehsana district ad-ministration has denied permission to the jail bharo campaign of the Sadar Pa-tel Group slated to be held here tomorrow. Collector Lochan Sehra said that the Mamlatdar Vipul Thakkar has denied permission for the programme. ‘They had given an application for permission on April 11 to the Mamlatdar and lat-er on seeking clarification informed that they plan to hold a meeting and then a rally and later go to the lo-cal jail to get in to it. This is thoroughly illegal and in a sense anti national. It

can’t be allowed. How can one go to a jail and get in to it forcefully. So the Mam-latdar has denied permis-sion,’ Mr. Sehra said add-ing that strong action will be taken against those try-ing to do so. Meanwhile SPG spokesperson Purvin Patel said that the cam-

paign meant for Mehsa-na only would take place despite the denial. ‘This is a civil disobedience like programme and we are moving ahead with it. We will hold the meeting and take a rally to radhanpur road where the central jail is situated,’ he said.
