Will not let the lotus blossom in Gujarat in 2017 : Hardik Patel“Patidar MahaKranti Agitation”

The BJP government in Gujarat will face consequences in 2017 polls, warned Hardik Patel at a mega rally in Ahmedabad

Give quota to Patels or face consequences

ENGLISH DAILY MORNING REPUTED NEWS PAPER, AHMEDABAD

RNI NO.: GUJENG/2014/59629

CM Anandiben Patel’s appeal a ploy to misguide us: Patidar community leader Hardik Patel

Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad

In a mega show of strength for their demand of inclusion in OBC cat-egory for reservation, the Patel community to-day warned that if they are not made eligible for quota, the BJP govern-ment in Gujarat will face consequences in 2017 polls. After the rally, the Patel community’s young leader Hardik Patel, who

is spearheading the ag-itation, said he will sit on a hunger strike at the venue till the Chief Min-ister (Anandiben Patel) does not come to take a memorandum from them. The numerically and eco-nomically strong Patel community of Gujarat converged here in large numbers to take part in the rally, which brought the city to a grinding halt. The ‘Maha Kranti’ ral-

ly comes after a month-long agitation by the Pa-tel community for their demand of reservation. “If you do not give our right (reservation), we will snatch it. Whoever will talk of interest of Pa-tels will rule over Patels,” Hardik told the gathering. “In 1985, we had uproot-ed Congress from Gu-jarat, today there is BJP. 2017 (state election year) is coming…lotus will not

bloom in the mud, it will never bloom. If you will talk about our interest then only we will nur-ture your lotus,” he said, warning the state govern-ment. Patels are unrelent-ing even though Chief Minister Anandiben Pa-tel earlier expressed her inability to include the community in the OBC category and requested the leaders to end the ag-itation and come forward

for negotiations. The CM had citied Supreme Court guidelines and judge-ments for her inability to include Patels in OBC category. “Some parties say you do not not know about Supreme Court guidelines (of 50 per cent cap on reservations), this cannot happen. If SC can open at 3.30 in the morn-ing for a terrorist, then why not for the youth the future of this nation?”


Calling the recent appeal of Chief Minister Anan-diben Patel to wind up their agitation while rul-ing out giving OBC sta-tus to Patidars owing to constitutional provisions and Supreme Court (SC) judgments as a tactic to misguide people and to suppress their agitation, youth leader of Patidar Anamat Andolan Sami-ti (PAAS) Hardik Patel, on Monday, roll out the plan for the Maha Kranti Rally scheduled on Tues-day. Patel also said that they would declare fur-ther course of agitation in the Tuesday rally. When asked that the CM has al-


Hardik Patel, patidar ag-itation leader demanding OBC status for the com-munity, was removed forcibly from GMDC ground, the area where he was sitting on dhar-na on Tuesday morning demanding that the state chief minister Anandiben Patel come personally to accept the memorandum seeking the reservation. Sources did not deny the possibility that Patel could be detained on the charges of criminal trespass (IPC Section 447). A police team escorted him to city police commissioner of-fice. While Ahmedabad city police kept mum on the issue and did not re-ceive any calls from me-dia on Tuesday night, sources said that close to

1,000 people fled from the ground after police start-ed indiscriminate lathich-arge. “The permission for the agitation was given from morning to evening. After the hours specified are over, it was the case of criminal trespass and violation of police noti-fication. GMDC ground is a private property on which the agitation was staged. When the agitators showed no intent of vacat-ing the plot, police used force to evacuate them,” said sources. Many report-ers who had rushed on the spot to cover the incident also were at the receiving end as the power connec-tion on the venue was cut off. Sources also said that several parked vehicles were also damaged in the incident.

ready ruled out OBC sta-tus for Patidars citing con-stitutional provisions and SC judgments, Patel said, “If the SC can be opened at 3.30 am for a terrorist, they can always change the Constitution and laws

for the development of Pa-tidars of Gujarat, Patidars of the country and youths of the country.”Patel also made a call for ‘Ahmed-abad Bandh’ on Tuesday so that the people of other communities ‘do not feel

discomfort’ owing to the large number of Patidar presence in the city. Giv-ing details of the rally, Pa-tel said that people would start gathering from 8 am at GMDC ground and the Maha Sabha would

commence at 11.30 am. “After completion of the Maha Sabha, a rally will be carried out from GMDC ground to RTO Circle and a team of 15 leaders will handover the memorandum to the Col-lector,” said Patel add-ing that around 25 lakh Patidars were likely to join the rally which they call Maha Kranti Rally. Patel said that around 50,000 volunteers will be available at the GMDC ground to handle the situ-ation. Also, around 3,500 volunteers are going to be deployed to clean the roads of littering from the rally like food packets and water pouches.

Hardik Patel said amidst cheers from the crowd. “If the country’s youth come on the streets to demand their right and

if they do not get those rights, some of them will become Naxalites, some of them will become ter-rorists,” he said.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYIndia and the hidden handLate in the autumn of 2002, as Pakistan’s military emerged from a bruising 10-month standoff with In-dia, Brigadier Muhammad Zia was among a small group of officers tasked with rethinking how an in-creasingly powerful adversary could be contained. “India is highly volatile on its internal front,” he wrote, “due to numerous vulnerabilities, which, if agitated, could yield results out of proportion to the efforts put in”. Faultlines in Kashmir, the Northeast and Punjab, he suggested, could be employed as an “offensive option against India”. Last week’s im-plosion of national security advisor-level talks has demonstrated that there is indeed a hidden hand that guides India-Pakistan engagement — the hand of the generals. Published in The Green Book, a col-lection of essays that, as scholar C. Christine Fair puts it, allows us to listen in to the Pakistan army talking to itself, Zia’s essay and others published with it offer us important insights into how the coun-try’s generals see their strategic situation. The col-lapse of the talks, clearly, had something to do with Delhi’s petulant insistence that there be no meeting with Kashmiri secessionists. It also had something to do with Islamabad’s efforts to drag Kashmir into the negotiations through the back door. However, it had far more to do with a core dynamic in Pakistan’s politics; with an army for which the jihad against India is, as scholar-diplomat Husain Haqqani puts it, “an existential imperative”. Indian policymakers have battered their heads against this stark fact for two generations now — and it will confront Prime Minister Narendra Modi, irrespective of the course his Pakistan policy takes now. To illustrate the prob-lem, it is worth revisiting 2008, when Prime Minis-ter Manmohan Singh’s search for detente was in full flower, and peace seemed destined to break out. “In-dia has never been a threat to Pakistan”, then Presi-dent Asif Ali Zardari told the Wall Street Journal in his midtown Manhattan suite, “I, for one, and our democratic government is not scared of Indian in-fluence abroad”. Yet, as we now know from investi-gations, Ajmal Kasab and nine other Lashkar-e-Toi-ba terrorists were at exactly that time making their preparations for 26/11. This is part of a pattern. In February 1999, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee signed the Lahore Declaration, committing both countries “to implementing the Simla Agreement in letter and spirit”. Even as the Lahore agreement was being drafted, Pakistani troops were being trained to push their way across the Line of Control. For those seek-ing further historical evidence, there’s no shortage of examples: Pakistan talked peace on the eve of the 1965 war, and flatly denied its now well-document-ed sponsorship of irregulars who fought in 1947-48. General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani’s subversion of the 2008 peace process, though, wasn’t some kind of mindless perfidy. Faced with an insurgency that threatened to overwhelm the Pakistani state, he saw anti-India jihadists, as well as political Islamists, as valuable allies.

Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra is re-portedly being con-sidered for the Telugu remake of Malayalam blockbuster Premam. “We are in talks with Parineeti.

Facebook announced on Tuesday that it’s opening up its donate button for the pages of all non-profit organisations and linked advertisements. The so-cial media giant had rolled out a “Donate” button in late 2013 that was limited to specific partners such as the American Cancer Society and The Red Cross. For these nonprofits, the button was seam-lessly integrated into pages and donations took place internally with credit card information that could be stored on the site. Now, when users click the “Donate Now” button on a non-profit’s page they are first alerted that the organization is “Not endorsed by or affiliated with Facebook” and then are redirected to the non-profit’s external site where they can complete the donation. This is probably an effort for the company to further themselves from donations being given to potentially unpop-ular non-profit causes.

The rupee rebounded to 66.08 in the evening trade on heavy capital inflows and fresh dollar selling by banks and exporters. The rupee sentiment was buoyed as the benchmark BSE Sensex rebounded from one-year low as markets were seen as over-sold, while the sentiment was also helped after the government said it would make another at-tempt to pass the goods and services tax. A strong opening in European markets and buying at lower levels helped Indian markets recover from lower levels. The rupee strengthened even as the dollar rose against the yen on Tuesday, pulling up from a slide to seven-month lows the previous day, but the outlook remained clouded by worries of a Chi-na-led slowdown in global growth. The greenback had tumbled 4 percent against the yen over the two previous days as the turmoil in global finan-cial markets whittled down bets that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in September. The dollar rose 0.8 per cent to 119.30 yen, after hav-ing tumbled 2.9 per cent on Monday for its biggest one-day fall in five years.

Arsenal’s veteran goal-keeper Petr Cech’s demonstrated against Liverpool on Monday why he will be an asset rather than a liability for his new team after his opening-day blunders proved so costly for the Gunners. A 0-0 draw at home might seem frus-trating for a side longing to end a 12-year wait for a Premier League title but without Cech’s assured presence in goal it could have been back-to-back home losses at the start of the season for the first time in 66 years at Arse-nal. A daring block at the feet of Christian Benteke was followed by Philippe Coutinho’s strike being tipped onto the post by Cech making the slightest

of touches at full stretch. With a fragile, makeshift defense in front of him, Cech was required to compensate for those vul-nerabilities - rather than gifting goals as he did two weeks ago against West Ham in his first league game since the $17-million switch across London from Chelsea. “When you start with a new club and everything goes wrong, you need to bounce back and this is what I tried to do,” Cech said, reflecting on that 2-0 loss to West Ham. “Today (Monday) was one those games where I was in the right place at the right times.” But with the Gunners so ineffec-tive up front, the draw left them with four points from a possible nine at

the start of the season, far from the form that will see them threaten to win the title for the first time since 2004. It was Arse-nal’s first clean sheet of the season, but a third for Liverpool. Although Liv-erpool has seven points, the irritation for the vis-itors was their inability to make it three wins out of three as they chase a return to the Champions League by finishing in the top four. The oppor-tunity was there, with injuries denying Arse-nal its first-choice center back partnership of Per Mertesacker (illness) and Laurent (back). In came Calum Chambers, whose hesitancy compounded the collective unease in Arsenal’s defense, along-side Gabriel.

India beat hosts Sri Lanka by 278 runs in

Delhi Dynamos have signed former Liverpool full-back and Norway’s most capped internation-al, John Arne Riise, who received the Indian Su-per League outfit’s jersey from Liverpool legend Ian Rush. Much like the signing of Frenchman Florent Malouda on Sun-day, the Dynamos made the announcement ahead of an English Premier League game – between Arsenal and Liverpool at the Emirates stadium. The 34-year-old Riise

was a free agent after his contract with Cypri-ot side APOEL Nicosia was terminated by mutu-al consent. Riise joined Liverpool from Mona-co in 2001 and scored on his debut as the Reds beat Bayern Munich 3-2 to win the European Su-per Cup – at Monaco’s Stade Louis II. The full-back spent seven years at Anfield, during which time he made 334 ap-pearances, winning an FA Cup, a League Cup and the Champions League in 2005. Commenting on

his signing with Delhi Dynamos, Riise said, “I am super excited to have joined Dehli Dynamos. I am a person who loves a new challenge, to see and experience different cul-tures. Roberto Carlos has been one of my heroes growing up as a left back. I’m honoured to have him as a coach, and can’t wait to give my all for him and the team. I’m thankful for this opportunity and look forward to start training, meet the other players and staff. See you soon Dynamos supporters.”

ed a very mature fast bowler. There used to be shy bowlers who used to sneak past their seniors in order to avoid a talk with them, but not Ishant, who comes and speaks to you. And that tells you about his confidence,” Chetan. “He understands what he is doing. And he has the backing of a lot of talented youngsters like Varun Aaron and Umesh Yadav. Bhuvneshwar Ku-mar and (Mohammed) Shami is yet to join the squad. I don’t think there is a problem in the pace department. If a pacer can pick up 2-3 wickets on the sub-continent tracks then I believe he has done his job,” said the cricket-er-turned-commentator.

No 3 has turned focus off that. With both Murali Vi-jay and Shikhar Dhawan out due to injury, Kohli announced Pujara will open in the final Test. Pujara, who had lost his spot after struggling in England and Australia, has opened in three of his 27 Tests, scoring two fifties, both in the win over Australia in Del-hi in early 2013. Even

if he does well, he may have to make way when Vijay and Dhawan re-turn for the home series against SA. Kohli de-fended the Rahane-Rohit batting switch, saying that only winning mat-tered and not individu-als. “We have commu-nicated this before that no one is playing in this team for personal glory or achievements.”

With various castes out on streets for and against reservation after PAAS’ month-old agita-tion, the Anandiben Patel government appears to be unnerved by the towering size of the rally planned in Ahmedabad on August 25, throwing up possi-bilities of caste conflicts. Other upper castes, in-cluding Brahmins and Kshatriyas, across state too have joined the cho-rus demanding reserva-tions. Senior government

officials from home de-partment warn that any untoward incident in the rally would have serious repercussions in the days to come. “The state gov-ernment will take stern action against anyone who will try to disrupt peace,” said government spokesperson and Health Minister Nitin Patel. He also heads the sev-en-member ministerial committee appointed by Anandiben Patel to nego-tiate with various agitat-ing communities.


Though the district ed-ucation office has not issued a formal notifi-cation to keep schools closed on Tuesday in view of the Patidar rally, almost all city schools have decided to declare a holiday for the safe-ty of students. Delhi Public School (Bopal), Anand Niketan (Satel-lite), Prakash School, HB Kapadia School, Zydus School For Excellence (Vejalpur), Maharaja Agrasen Vidyalaya and

other major schools will be closed today . “We have declared a holiday as the school is central-ly located and children come from all parts of the city ,” said Anand Ni-ketan Group of Schools director, Nashy Chauhan. “On Tuesday , most areas will be no-vehicle zones. So we do not want stu-dents to get stuck.” Zy-dus School of Excellence principal Alka Murthy said, “It will be diffi-cult if the students get stuck. So for the safety of children, a holiday has

been declared.” Howev-er, St Xavier’s Loyola Hall and Mount Carmel School (Navrangpura) will be open as they have not received any offi-cial notification from the DEO. St Xavier’s School principal Fr Durai said, “Most of the students stay nearby, so if they come to school, classes will be on.” the district education officer (city), A K Rathod, said: “All schools will remain open on Tuesday as we have not issued any notifica-tion to close schools.”


An Ahmedabad hall widely used by civil rights organisations has been made out of bounds by Gujarat Governor O P Kohli for “any political activity or any activity against the government”. A kabulatnama or written undertaking that there will be no such activity has been made mandato-ry for anyone who wish-es to book the Mehdi Nawaz Jung Hall, named after the first Governor of Gujarat. This follows an “oral decision” by Governor Kohli. The Mehdi Nawaz Jung Hall has been the venue of several meetings, includ-ing those on the 2002 riots, screening of films on the riots, and where

The hall is part of the Hi-mavan complex which is administered by a board of trustees of the Gov-ernor’s Social Welfare Fund. The Governor is one of the trustees and chairman of the board. Responding to an ap-plication filed under the Right to Information

Act, Raj Bhavan said the decision on a kabulatna-ma was taken on May 26, 2015 — a day after expelled AAP leader Yo-gendra Yadav was denied entry to the hall despite a booking by organisers of a meeting. Yadav then held a meeting with workers outside the hall.

expressed “hurt and dis-appointment”, over the HC order. A leader of the community, Mahesh Shah said, “In January 2015, the Supreme Court included the Jains among the minority communi-ties of the country. Every state but Gujarat has ac-

cepted this ruling. It has not given us any benefits that a minority commu-nity should be getting. If the Gujarat government does not include us in the list of minorities, we will be forced to begin a non-violent struggle in protest.”

Just below the space bought by Pathan, Abbas ran a shop that sold seasonal goods. “We installed CCTV camer-as. Abbas suspected that this would jeopardise his business of selling illicit liquor from the shop. So there were disputes, and he attacked my father,” he said. In his cross com-plaint, Abbas claimed his family had had disputes with the Pathans since the latter bought space in the building in 2007. He al-leged that his cousin Sajid had hatched a conspiracy against Iliyas. According to Abbas’s complaint, he and Sajid went to Iliyas’s residence on Saturday night and attacked them. Abbas was injured during the attack while Sajid managed to flee.
