"We are not inclined to modify our order," a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi told senior advocates A M Singhvi and Kapil Sibal, who were ap- pearing for the petitioners led by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. The apex court on April 8 had di- rected the poll panel to increase random matching of VVPAT slips with EVMs from one to five polling booths per assem- bly segment in the Lok Sabha polls, saying it would provide greater satisfaction not just to political parties but the entire elec- torate. On Tuesday, Singhvi told the bench, which also comprised Justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna, that random matching of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) slips with Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) should be in- creased to at least 25 per cent as against the present 2 per cent. "The Supreme Court had increased it from one to five (polling booths per assembly segment). We have asked for 50 per cent but we will be happy with 33 or even 25 per cent. We want at least 25 per cent. It is for increas- ing satisfaction and confidence building measure," he told the bench. He said that the number of random matching of VVPAT slips with EVMs should be "viable" and the order for in- creasing it to five polling booths per as- sembly segment would amount to only 2 per cent. When the apex court said it would not modify the April 8 order, Singhvi said, "Suppose they (EC) find any fault in five, then? There is no guidelines for this". Sibal also joined the arguments and said the poll panel had earlier "misled the court" on this aspect. To this, the CJI said, "This is a review petition. We are not obliged to hear you in an open court." During the hearing, opposition lead- ers including Naidu, National Conference's Farooq Abdullah and CPI's MP D Raja were present in the courtroom. These leaders had sought a review of the court's order, saying the "increase from one to five is not a reasonable num- ber and does not lead to satisfaction de- sired by this court". "The petitioners submit that the afore- said increase to a mere 2 per cent is not sufficient and will not make any substan- tial difference to the situation that existed prior to the passing of the impugned or- der," they said. "Therefore, even though the petition- ers have succeeded on merits of their con- tention, their success does not resolve their grievance or cause any meaningful change to the situation that they were originally aggrieved," the plea said. Referring to earlier observations of the apex court, it said the 2 per cent in- crease in random matching of VVPAT slips with EVMs would not achieve the purpose of raising "public confidence in the integrity of the electoral process". The plea opposed the poll panel's argu- ment, which was earlier accepted by the court, that as the elections were nearby and hence it would not be viable to in- crease the number of random matching of VVPAT slips with EVMs. "It is submitted that, once this court agrees that the num- ber of EVMs that should be subjected to ! $!

" The Government has been reviewing the re- strictions imposed earlier this month on civilian movement on the National Highway (NH-44) connect- ing Jammu to Srinagar with a view to balancing the security needs of Forces’ Convoys with the need for minimizing pub- lic inconvenience. These restrictions be- came necessary following the large movement of se- curity forces on an un- precedented scale after the Pulwama terror attack. These forces were re- quired both for anti-mili- tancy operations and for conducting general elec- tions peacefully. In order to facilitate secure move- ment of Security Forces’ Convoys, the Government had imposed a prohibition on civilian traffic on NH- 44 from Baramulla to Udhampur twice a week, i.e. on Sunday & Wednesday, from 4.00 a.m to 5.00 p.m. Elaborate arrangements were, how- ever, made by the local ad- ministration to facilitate movement of public dur- ing the period of restric- tion. Earlier, the restriction on civilian movement be- tween Srinagar and Baramulla on NH-44 was reduced only to Sunday w.e.f. 22-04-2019 and later completely lifted w.e.f. from 2-5-2019. The Government is alive to the needs of citi- zens and has once again re- viewed the requirement of security forces. Following the completion of elec- tions in Pulwama & Shopian districts and as the requirement of Security Forces is now re- ducing, the Government has decided to further re- lax the restrictions on traf- fic imposed earlier as fol- lows: 1. The restriction on civilian movement be- tween Srinagar and Udhampur on NH-44 will be lifted on Wednesdays w.e.f. 13-05-2019. The pro- hibition on civilian traffic in this stretch would now be only on Sunday. 2. The local adminis- tration would continue to facilitate movement of civilian traffic as has been happening so far, includ- ing by allowing public transport of JKSRTC to move during the period of restriction on the NH. 3. A complete review of remaining restrictions on the Highway would be done subsequently. The Government stat- ed that the purpose of these restrictions is in the larger interest of security of everyone and appealed the people to extend full cooperation in the smooth regulation of traffic.

"The people of this country are informed that the in-house committee of Supreme Court consisting of three judges has cleared Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi of sexual ha- rassment allegations raised by a former em- ployee claiming 'no sub- stance' in the complaint," he said. According to the CJI and other dignitaries, there is a "larger conspira- cy" behind this allegation, Acharyulu said. "...public interest gives rise to a right of pub- lic to know and hence the report should have been made public after redact- ing the details if need not be disclosed, especially in complaints like sexual ha- rassment," he said. The three-member committee had on Monday given clean chit to Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, saying it "found no substance" in the allegations. The apex court administration lat- er said the report "is not li- able to be made public", citing the verdict in the 2003 case of Indira Jaising vs Supreme Court of India. Acharyulu said, "As per Indira Jaising or- der, the enquiry into Mysore incident was in- formal and only to gather some information from colleague judges, but in this case, it is a statutorily mandated inquiry and it is not opinion collection or information gather- ing."

The submission by the Ministry of Home Affairs was made before a bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice A J Bhambhani in re- sponse to a plea by the hus- band of a Pakistani woman who has been asked by the government to leave the country in view of adverse se- curity reports against her. According to the woman's husband, she has a long term visa which is valid till 2020. In its affidavit, filed through the central government's stand- ing counsel, Anurag Ahluwalia, the ministry said that once it decides to serve a 'leave India notice' to a for- eigner, he or she has no vest- ed right to continue staying here despite a valid visa. "Leave India notice itself is cancellation of further va- lidity of the visa period. There is no statutory obliga- tion on the part of the central government to serve a show cause notice to the foreigner," the MHA said. The ministry further said that under the Foreigners Act of 1946, the government has "an unrestricted right to expel", and urged the court to dismiss the petition. It also claimed that it decided to serve the woman with a leave India notice in view of ad- verse inputs received from security agencies. The woman's husband had initially challenged be- fore a single judge the gov- ernment's February 7 direc- tion to her to leave the coun- try within 15 days. The single judge had dis- missed the plea and gave the woman two weeks to leave the country, saying that un- der the principles of law she has no right to stay here. Her husband appealed against the order of the single judge and the division bench on March 12 directed the gov- ernment not to take any coer- cive steps against the woman. Since then, the interim order has been extended from time to time and the next date of hearing of the matter is on May 13. Issuing the interim order, the bench had on March 12 observed that the confidential security report, based on which action was taken against the woman, "does not inspire confidence". It had also observed the long-term visa held by the woman since 2007 did not ap- pear to be cancelled till date. The 37-year-old woman had come to India in 2005 af- ter marrying the man. She has been residing in Delhi with her husband and two sons aged 11 and 5 years.

Expressing his shockover what he termed as bar-baric killing of senior partyleader Atal Gull Mohd Mir byterrorists in Srinagar, BJPState General SecretaryYudhvir Sethi alongwith BJPAll Cells Incharge S.Varinderjeet Singh, BJPState Press Secretary Dr.Pardeep Mahotra, StateIncharge IT & Social MediaJaidev Rajwal and DistrictPresident & ChairmanBaldev Singh Billawariaurged Governor administra-tion to review entire securitysetup by convening a meet-ing of police, civil adminis-tration and also estate de-partment so that genuinepeople who are in genuinethreat are provided with se-curity cover and governmentaccommodation. YudhvirSethi said that right fromKishtwar to Kashmir, terror-ists are trying to vitiatepeaceful atmosphere and aretargeting political leaders

and there's no check on them.Taking the administrationhead on, the BJP leader saidthat withdrawal of securityof many active mainstreampolitical leaders have eitherresulted in killings or madethem prone to threats all overthe state.

He said that entire securi-ty set up should be reviewedand those mainstream politi-cians belonging to any politi-cal outfit who are touring faroff places at odd hours, stay-ing among their workers,travelling extensively aresoft targets of militants and

should be provided with cov-er. In addition those who arein illegal occupation of gov-ernment accommodationsleaving several other deserv-ing people prone to attacksmust be vacated from theseofficial banglows. YudhvirSethi said killing of PariharBrothers, ChanderkantSharma, Gul Mohammad Mirbeside other leaders inJammu and Kashmir call fora security review where thoseprone to such attacks shouldbe protected. He added thatthe political workers workingextensively in far off and most

interior places are becomingsoft targets of militants.Lauding the efforts of securityforces in eliminating mili-tants during past few months,Yudhvir Sethi said that theirvalour is appreciable butthose sitting as soft targetsneed to be protected tight atthe very beginning. The waySecurity has been withdrawnin recent past speaks of imma-ture decision of security agen-cies and poor assessment ofthose Incharge of security set-up. Demanding arrest of cul-prits behind all these politicalkillings, be it in Kashmir orJammu region in recentmonths, the BJP leader de-manded that officials who rec-ommended withdrawal of se-curity of these people, jeop-ardizing their security,should also be taken to task.He sought protection for allpolitical leaders who are ac-tively serving the society andwithdrawal of security fromthose who are misusing stateapparatus for their personalgains and status symbol.

“You are more likely toget an accurate blood pres-sure reading at home thanat the doctor’s office,” saidDoctors AssociationKashmir (DAK) onTuesday in a commu-niqué. “Home measure-ment gives a more accu-rate picture of an individ-ual’s blood pressure thanreading in a medical set-ting,” said DAK PresidentDr Nisar ul Hassan. “Yourblood pressure is higherwhen it is taken in a med-ical setting than it is whentaken at home,” he said.

“This is because ofwhite-coat effect whichhappens as you are nerv-ous about having your

blood pressure checked bya doctor,” he added. DAKPresident said up to 50%patients with high officeblood pressure readingshave normal readings intheir homes. “Home moni-toring reduces the need forclinic visits and involvespeople more in their carewhich can bolster their ef-forts to make behaviorchanges and take theirmedication,” he saidadding that “readings tak-en at home provide a bet-ter sense of how well amedication or other bloodpressure lowering strate-gy is working.”

“Research has foundthat regular home bloodpressure monitoring bet-ter predicts a patient’s

risk of blood pressure re-lated outcomes such asheart attack, stroke andkidney damage,” Dr Nisarinformed. He said peoplecan self monitor theirblood pressure in the com-forts of their homes by us-ing automatic home bloodpressure devices that areprecise, accurate and easyto use. “Under new guide-lines anyone with bloodpressure higherthan130/80 is consideredto have hypertension orhigh blood pressure. Thenew norms recommendhome blood pressure mon-itoring which provides amore reliable assessmentof actual blood pressurethan office blood pres-sure,” said Dr Nisar.

ence in Leh last week, his col-league and MLC, VikramRandhawa started distributingenvelopes to journalists. “As perCCTV footage shocked to see Rs500 notes in these envelopes, thejournalists felt insulted at BJP’saudacity to bribe them and re-turned the envelopes outright,”Rajiv Mahajan said. “We hopethat the BJP High Commandtakes cognizance of the matter

and take action against the cor-rupt party leaders and removedthem from party leadership,”Rajiv Mahajan said.

Saluting the journalists forupholding the best tradition ofjournalism and integrity, heurged the Election Commissionof India to take strict action asper the law against the two lead-ers, who following an inquiryhave been found guilty. RajivMahajan also asked the mediafraternity of the entire J&KState, if they want to extend theirsupport to Leh journalists andsave the ethics of journalism inthe State, to boycott the news andcoverage of aforesaid alleged cor-rupt BJP leaders (RavinderRaina and Vikram Randhawa)henceforth.

The Government has been reviewingthe restrictions imposed earlier thismonth on civilian movement on theNational Highway (NH-44) connectingJammu to Srinagar with a view to balanc-ing the security needs of Forces’ Convoyswith the need for minimizing public incon-venience. These restrictions became nec-essary following the large movement of se-curity forces on an unprecedented scale af-ter the Pulwama terror attack. Theseforces were required both for anti-militan-cy operations and for conducting generalelections peacefully. In order to facilitatesecure movement of Security Forces’Convoys, the Government had imposed aprohibition on civilian traffic on NH-44from Baramulla to Udhampur twice aweek, i.e. on Sunday & Wednesday, from4.00 a.m to 5.00 p.m. Elaborate arrange-

ments were, however, made by the localadministration to facilitate movement ofpublic during the period of restriction.

Earlier, the restriction on civilianmovement between Srinagar andBaramulla on NH-44 was reduced only toSunday w.e.f. 22-04-2019 and later com-pletely lifted w.e.f. from 2-5-2019.

The Government is alive to the needsof citizens and has once again reviewedthe requirement of security forces.Following the completion of elections inPulwama & Shopian districts and as therequirement of Security Forces is now re-ducing, the Government has decided tofurther relax the restrictions on traffic im-posed earlier as follows:

1. The restriction on civilian move-ment between Srinagar and Udhampur onNH-44 will be lifted on Wednesdays w.e.f.13-05-2019. The prohibition on civilian traf-fic in this stretch would now be only on

Sunday.2. The local administration would con-

tinue to facilitate movement of civiliantraffic as has been happening so far, in-cluding by allowing public transport ofJKSRTC to move during the period of re-striction on the NH.

3. A complete review of remaining re-strictions on the Highway would be donesubsequently.

The Government stated that the pur-pose of these restrictions is in the largerinterest of security of everyone and ap-pealed the people to extend full coopera-tion in the smooth regulation of traffic.The restrictions strike a balance betweenthe needs of people and inconveniencecaused to them on one side and the needs ofsecurity forces. The restrictions will con-tinue to be reviewed on a real time basisand modifications will be made as neces-sary in the coming days.

The BJP in Karnatakatook potshots at the Congress-JDS coalition governmentdubbing it as "dead" over its"apathy" towards drought re-lief measures and warned ofstate-wide agitations if no ac-tion was taken in two to threedays.

Alleging that those in thegovernment were immersedin dealing with coalition wor-ries and infighting, the saf-fron party leaders also hit outat Chief Minister H DKumaraswamy over his tem-ple visits, and not sparingtime for drought manage-ment.

".. none of the officials orMinisters are paying heed.

It looks like there is noone to question them," stateBJP chief B S Yeddyurappatold reporters here.

Pointing out that over 170taluks in the state were facingdrought and there was short-age of drinking water, alsofodder for cattle at several

places, he said, neither offi-cials nor Ministers are visit-ing the affected areas, whilethe Chief Minister doesn'thave time.

if no action is taken in twoto three days it will be in-evitable for us (BJP) to hold astate wide agitation.

Government is dead,what has happened to offi-cials. They should do their du-ty by traveling across thestate and take measures, alsorelease funds that are re-quired," he added.

Promising that the BJP

would work towards gettingmore assistance from theCentre, the leader of opposi-tion said, without paying at-tention to any of this, those inthe government were im-mersed in their own "politicaldrama."

"The government was notpaying attention towardsanything; they are involvedin their own confusion, in-fighting in Congress-JD(S) al-liance.

There is a question thathas arose whether this gov-ernment is alive or dead," he

said.Meanwhile, speaking to

reporters in Hubballi, formerChief Minister JagadishShettar said, "it looks like thisgovernment is non-existent.It is dead. Let chief Ministergive his time to drought meas-ures and farmers, instead ofspending time visiting tem-ples, performing homa-ha-vana (rituals).

Calling the government"irresponsible," he allegedthat the Chief Minister waswasting time pondering overhis sons victory in Mandya,his party's performance inthe polls, and saving the gov-ernment.

"Chief Minister spends lotof time visiting temples andperforming rituals there, lethim give that time to holdmeetings on drought.

Elections are over, peoplehave given their verdict, andresults won't change if you(CM) go to temples now andperform poojas. With the fearof losing, he (CM) is visitingtemples," he added.

Chandigarh, May 7 (PTI)

Pawan Kumar Bansal, theCongress candidate fromChandigarh Lok Sabha seat andformer railway minister PawanKumar Bansal Tuesday accusedhis BJP rival Kirron Kher of at-tempting to defame him.

Bansal vent his ire againstthe BJP and its sitting MP inChandigarh after theEnforcement DirectorateTuesday attached Rs 89.68 lakhcash in a money laundering caseinvolving his nephew.

"Dragging me mischievouslyin a case of which I am a prosecu-tion witness, proves that the BJPhas already smelled defeat inChandigarh. Hence, KirronKher and her party are now try-ing all desperate means to de-fame me," he told reporters here.

The ED, in a statement, saidit has issued a provisional orderunder the Prevention of MoneyLaundering Act (PMLA) tofreeze the "bribe" money, whichaccording to it was "proceeds ofcrime".

Bansal said, "Six years back,the case filed against me by CBIwhen I was the railway ministerwas blown out of proportion. Forover eight hours I was interro-

gated by the CBI but nothing wasfound against me. On the con-trary, I was made the prosecu-tion witness in that case com-pletely acquitting me of all thecharges."

"Had I got anything to dowith that case, do you think theBJP government over the lastfive years would have sparedme?" he posed.

Bansal alleged that eversince his name was announcedas the Congress' Chandigarhcandidate, the BJP has been try-ing hard to "smear" his name inone way or the other.

"The BJP has already accept-ed defeat. Otherwise, instead offinding ways to attack me, theywould have concentrated ontalking about their own achieve-ments. The truth is that the sit-ting MP has done nothing for thedevelopment of Chandigarh," hesaid. Chandigarh Congress chiefPardeep Chhabra alleged thatthe BJP had "stooped to the low-est level of dirty politics".

"Recently, Kirron Kher hasbeen served with two show causenotices by the poll panel. Itseems the BJP has lost its bal-ance. Amit Shah's rally inChandigarh has already turnedout to be a faux pas. Nothing is

working for them," he said.Chhabra claimed this was an

old case which has no relevancenow and is a deliberate move bythe BJP to defame Bansal sincethey have nothing to say againsthim.

"It is a deliberate attempt todivert the attention of the votersfrom their failures to somethingwhich does not hold true. She(Kher) is using official machin-ery which she could not use forpeople's good," he alleged.

The cash was allegedlyseized by the CBI from the officeof Bansal's nephew Vijay Singlain 2013 in a bribery and corrup-tion case related to appoint-ments at top positions in the rail-ways.

The ED filed a separate crim-inal case based on CBI's FIR andcharge sheet against RailwayBoard Member (Staff) MaheshKumar, Vijay Singla, SandeepGoyal and seven others.

Addressing a rally here in support ofBJP's East Delhi candidate GautamGambhir, Adityanath said, "We are confi-dent that he will be opening our victory tal-ly in Delhi just as he opened for team Indiain cricket."

The Uttar Prdesh chief minister saidhe landed at the Hindon Air Base first andafter entering Delhi, he said he was ap-palled after seeing the condition of roadshere. "The AAP government has turnedDelhi into a city of potholes and has hurtthe sentiments of people of the city,"Adityanath alleged.

"Kejriwal has nothing to do with 'vikas'(development) and he does not have any in-terest in working in collaboration with thecentral government for the betterment ofnational capital," he claimed.

Taking a jibe at Kejriwal, he askedwhether the AAP supremo was a "mukhiya

of Delhi or dharna" (head of Delhi or leaderof dharnas and demonstrations).

"Democracy or politics done withoutvalues and ideals is dangerous for thecountry," he said.

Claiming that her BJP rivalGautam Gambhir is proving to bea novice whose celebrity statuswill go against him, AAP's EastDelhi candidate Atishi says peo-ple might want to see stars butwant their representatives to beavailable to them in their every-day lives.

The Oxford graduate, who be-lieves the BJP is her main oppo-nent and the Congress is numberthree in the electoral race, saidpeople won't vote for the formercricketer because they know hewill anyway get disqualified afterthe elections.

Gautam Gambhir is also prov-ing to be a novice candidate. Hisnomination form was not filedcorrectly. He has two voter IDcards. People have this mindset -now that Gambhir has two voterID cards he will anyway get dis-qualified so why waste our vote onhim, Atishi told PTI in an inter-view.

The 37-year-old, who doesn'tuse her second name Marlena buthas not dropped it officially, saidcelebrities have a disadvantage.People will come to see them butan MP is someone they want intheir everyday lives, she ex-plained.

Everyone knows GautamGambhir is a star who is going tobe in Bombay, London andJohannesburg. He is not going tobe available to attend to people ofhis constituency, she said.

The AAP candidate is lockedin a three-way fight with Gambhirand Congress' Arvinder Singh

Lovely in the elections on May 12,the penultimate round of the sev-en-phase polls.

According to Atishi, the thirdplace in this election is reservedfor the Congress and its role is nomore than that of a vote-cuttingparty.

Calling the BJP her main com-petition, she said an analysis ofprevious elections will show theCongress has been third everytime.

In this election too, we will seea repeat of that... in 2015, theCongress lost its deposits on 90 percent of the seats. It is going to getrepeated. No one wants to vote fora losing candidate. I met some tra-ditional Congress supporters butthey said this time they will votefor the Aam Aadmi Party as theCongress is not even in the fight,Atishi asserted.

On the Opposition targetingher for her surname, Atishi said itis because they have nothing elseagainst her.

The Opposition has nothingagainst me so they are trying topull a rabbit out of a hat. ACongress MLA is saying I am aJew. This is something that can beverified within minutes. Thesethings are indicators the Congressis now getting desperate. In 2015,the same thing happened whenthe BJP and the Congresslaunched ugly attacks againstKejriwal. It is a sign of their des-peration, she said.

There is something that is anintelligent attack but this one isbaseless and it will not stick, sheadded. In Atishi's view, herbiggest strength is the work she

has done in the education sector.About 2.5 lakh students stay in

East Delhi. These people have ex-perienced in their own substan-tive way what their vote to theAAP has done... and when theyvoted four years ago for the AamAadmi Party how it changed thelives of their children. I think thatis something very powerful, shesaid.

Discussing her vision for theEast Delhi constituency, Atishisaid the main focus this time is thefight for full statehood becausemany problems faced by the citi-zens of East Delhi are related tothe structure of governance.

For example, safety and secu-rity in East Delhi is a very big con-cern and this is an across classconcern. It isn't an issue that onesegment faces and another doesnot... But because Delhi Policecomes under the Central govern-ment there are virtually no stepsbeing taken, she said.

Education, she added, is an-other major concern as it is one ofthe most neglected areas.

We have tried to rectify that asfar as schools go. But higher edu-cation still does not come underDelhi government so improvinghigher education is also related tothe issue of full statehood, shesaid.

She listed affordable housingas an important concern for thearea.

Why does 80 per cent of EastDelhi live in unauthorisedcolonies. No one wants to live inunauthorised colonies due to is-sues of sanitary and hygiene...people stay in unauthorisedcolonies because they have no oth-er choice and that really needs tobe changed, she noted.

How will she will address theissues of the people till full state-hood is achieved?

MPs are members in DDA,they can improve land allotmentin schools, colleges, hospitals.MPs head the district wise com-mittee on monitoring how govern-ment bodies function. So incre-mentally MPs on their own canimprove the situation, she added.

The Supreme Court onTuesday allowed Congressleader Karti Chidambaramto travel to the UK and theUS between May 9 and 21and to Germany and Spainin June. The EnforcementDirectorate is investigat-ing Karti Chidambaram incriminal cases.

A bench headed byChief Justice Ranjan Gogoiand comprising JusticesDeepak Gupta and SanjivKhanna said the present or-der was "subject to compli-ance of conditions imposedearlier". The court alsoasked Karti Chidambaramto pay Rs 10 cr surety.Senior advocate K.V.Vishwanathan, appearing

for him, sought exemptionfrom paying the surety andtold the court that Rs 10 crwas paid last time when hehad gone abroad.

The CJI told the thecounsel: "Your client hasthe capacity to pay. Let himpay."

In January, the courtgranted KartiChidambaram, son of sen-ior Congress leader andformer Finance Minister P.Chidambaram, permissionto travel abroad, after hedeposited Rs 10 crore withthe Secretary General ofthe court.

The court also askedhim to come on record thathe would eventually returnand cooperate in the inves-tigation.

Ghatal (West Bengal) May 7

Bharatiya Janata Party President AmitShah on Tuesday dared West Bengal ChiefMinister Mamata Banerjee to slap as manycases she wants on him for chanting "JaiSree Ram", days after three persons were ar-rested in the West Midnapore district for al-legedly chanting the same when her convoywas passing through.

Addressing an election rally in GhatalLok Sabha constituency, where the incidenttook place on Saturday, Shah claimed nomatter how much one tried, no one would beable to stop the people of India from follow-ing their cultural heritage.

"I have been seeing since the last fewdays, that Mamata-didi has objections if peo-ple of Bengal chant Jai Sree Ram. How can

anybody stop us from uttering the name ofLord Ram, who dedicated his entire life tohis country and his subjects?" Shah said.

"Mamata-didi, do whatever you want. Ihave raised the slogan of Jai Sree Ram fromthis stage. Slap whatever charges you wanton me. But you will not be able to stop usfrom following our cultural traditions," hesaid while urging the people in the rally torepeatedly chant the name of Lord Ram withhim.

Shah asked people to give Banerjee andher party Trinamool Congress a befitting re-ply by handing 23 Lok Sabha seats from thestate to the saffron party.

"I want to ask Mamata-didi, if not inIndia, will Lord Ram's name be chanted inPakistan?"

"Provide 23 Lok Sabha seats from Bengal

to Modiji. You will see all atrocities byMamata-didi and her party will automatical-ly stop," he added.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had onMonday attacked Banerjee on the same issueduring his two rallies in the state and ac-cused her of throwing innocent people in jailfor chanting the name of Lord Ram.

A video circulated on social media onMay 4, showed the Chief Minister steppingout off her vehicle in a bid to confront agroup of people chanting Jai Sree Ram, onher way to a public rally in Ghatal.

Upon seeing Banerjee's convoy stop, thepeople started fleeing but she dared them tocome back and alleged some of them were us-ing abusive language against her.Subsequently three persons were arrestedfrom the area.

AAP's South Delhi Lok Sabha candidate Raghav Chadha feels people living in thenational capital will vote for the work done by the party and its leader as well as ChiefMinister Arvind Kejriwal in the last four years.

The 30-year-old chartered accountant jumped into politics in 2012 -- when the AamAadmi Party (AAP) was born from the India Against Corruption movement.

Chadha, who is pitted against BJP's sitting MP Ramesh Bidhuri (57) and Congress'celebrity candidate boxer Vijender Singh (33), also feels he will appeal to the youth ashe is the youngest candidate. "This election is to defeat the BJP. It is between the peo-ple of Delhi and the BJP and its candidate Bhiduri." Since taking power in 2015, theAAP has done a lot of work in the field of electricity, water supply, health and educa-tion, Chadha said. "In 70 years when the BJP and the Congress ruled the city, they col-lectively could not do so much. This time people will vote for Kejriwal and his work.""People have seen the work of the Kejriwal government," he added. When pointed outthat BJP candidates also feel that their party will get votes due to Prime MinisterNarendra Modi, he said that Bidhuri was not an ideal candidate and people werescared to go to his office or approach him with their issues. "People are unhappy withthe BJP MP. They are scared to approach him. They feel he can beat and abuse themwhen contacted. The way he talks and deals with people will turn out to be a major fac-tor in the elections. People want an educated and honest man who can understand theissues and can resolve them." Calling the Congress and its candidate "irrelevant", hesaid: "They named a celebrity as they don't have anyone in south Delhi at the local lev-el. They don't have any leader or workers. "The celebrity came here just days beforethe elections and disappear soon.

Many women lawyers and ac-tivists were among protesters out-side the Supreme Court on Tuesdayas they questioned the clean chit giv-en to Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi in asexual harassment case a day ago.

As it is not allowed to gather out-side the apex court for any kind ofdemonstation, the Delhi Police de-tained the protesters and imposedCrPC Section 144 in the area to pre-vent further escalation.

This comes after the three-judgetop court panel headed by JusticeS.A. Bobde found no substance on

Monday in the sexual harassmentallegations levelled by a former apexcourt employee against ChiefJustice Gogoi.

The protesters came out openlyin favour of the complainant, who onApril 30, had accused the CJI of sexu-ally harassing her, and had said thatshe would no longer appear beforethe in-house panel set up by the apexcourt to probe her charges as she feltthat she was "not likely to get jus-tice". The former employee of theSupreme Court said she felt "quiteintimidated and nervous" in thepresence of the three Supreme Courtjudges.

Behind China’s BRIThe BRI was launched by Chinese President Xi when

he came to power in 2013 with an aim to linkSoutheast Asia, Central Asia, the Gulf region,

Africa and Europe with a network of land and sea routes.China is doling out huge sums of money for infrastructureprojects in countries from Asia to Africa and Europe, en-hancing its global influence. Concerns over BRI financinghave become vocal after China acquired Sri Lanka'sstrategic Hambantota port on a 99-year lease as a debtswap in 2017. But China’s BRI will eat into the sovereigntyof the neighbouring nations. China is using its govern-ment power through the Belt and Road Initiative toachieve its national security objective. The US is extreme-ly critical of President Xi Jinping's trillion-dollar Belt andRoad Initiative and is of the view that China's "predatoryfinancing" is leaving smaller counties under huge debt en-dangering their sovereignty. BRI can't be with the ideathat you're going to loan a country money and then fore-close on that facility so that you can then build yourself aport or take that land and real estate. That's not appropri-ate. We have discouraged that. We have educated othercountries around the world on that set of issues, he said.But China is behaving in ways that are truly not commer-cial but rather designed to further gain them either accessentree for national security purposes, we don't think that'swhat those countries are really buying. China is dolingout huge sums of money for infrastructure projects incountries from Asia to Africa and Europe, enhancing itsglobal influence. China has observer status in the ArcticCouncil, but that status is contingent upon its respect forthe sovereign rights of Arctic states. The US wants Chinato meet that condition and contribute responsibly in theregion. But China's words and actions raise doubts aboutits intentions. Arctic nations must be aware of the realChinese intentions. The US and Arctic nations are wel-coming transparent Chinese investments that reflect eco-nomic interest and national security ambitions. Between2012 and 2017, China invested in the Arctic nearly USD 90billion. It's planning to build infrastructure from Canada,to the Northwest Territories, to Siberia. Do we wantArctic nations broadly or indigenous communities specif-ically, to go the way of former government in Sri Lanka orMalaysia, ensnared by debt and corruption? Do we wantcrucial Arctic infrastructure to end up like Chinese-con-structed roads in Ethiopia, crumbling and dangerous af-ter only a few years? Beijing is attempting to develop criti-cal infrastructure using Chinese money, Chinese compa-nies, and Chinese workers in some cases, to establish apermanent Chinese security presence. China could use itscivilian research presence in the Arctic to strengthen itsmilitary presence, including deployment of submarinesincluding deployment of submarines to the region as a de-terrent against nuclear attack which is going to harm thesecurity interests of neighbouring countries.

On a wing and a prayerFlyers from Delhi Airport’s Terminal 3 will notice Jet Airways

missing from the listing on the flight information display screens. Thescene is repeated at Mumbai Airport’s Terminal 2. With only aroundsix aircraft operating, Jet Airways, which at one point of time adecade ago was India’s largest airline, is on the verge of a collapse. Atthe Delhi Airport, a line-up of several Jet Airways’ Boeing 737s sit for-lornly, their engines and wheels covered in plastic sheeting and othervital parts protected by metal foil. The ultimate blow for the airlinecame when the leasing companies, which own those planes, said thatthey would transfer many of them to low-cost rival SpiceJet. In thetimes to come, many studies will be conducted to dissect what wentwrong with Jet Airways. But for most, an ill-fated acquisition of AirSahara, being a poison pill that took its time, is what ultimatelydoomed the airline. This was aided by a non-diverse board populatedby friends of the promoter until the coup de grâce came from the low-cost expansion drive in India, which left the airline unable to main-tain its bottomlines. Its limited international operations left it unableto cope with the onslaught from the Middle-Eastern carriersEmirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways in India. Even though Jet founda white knight in the Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airlines, the latter’sown issues have meant that it has not been able to fund the former ade-quately as the airline got badly hit by high fuel prices. The question iswhat should the Government do over here? Should Jet Airways besaved because it is a national asset and several State-owned banks areowed hundreds of crores? Or should it be allowed to fail as a normal

1915 : German submarine sinks LusitaniaThe earlier German attacks on merchant ships off the south coast

of Ireland prompted the British Admiralty to warn the Lusitania toavoid the area or take simple evasive action, such as zigzagging toconfuse U-boats plotting the vessel’s course. The captain of theLusitania ignored these recommendations, and at 2:12 p.m. on May 7,in the waters of the Celtic Sea, the 32,000-ton ship was hit by an ex-ploding torpedo on its starboard side. The torpedo blast was followedby a larger explosion, probably of the ship’s boilers. TheLusitaniasank within 20 minutes. Germany justified the attack bystating, correctly, that the Lusitania was an enemy ship, and that itwas carrying munitions. It was primarily a passenger ship, however,and among the 1,201 drowned in the attack were many women andchildren, including 128 Americans. Colonel Edward House, close as-sociate of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, was in London for a diplo-matic visit when he learned of the Lusitania‘s demise. America hascome to the parting of the ways, he wrote in a telegram to Wilson,when she must determine whether she stands for civilized or uncivi-

A miscarriage of justice

The Economist & the art of eternal day dreaming

The Election Commission must act tough

1915 on Page 7

BY : S.Y. QURAISHI

It is sad that the debate now isabout the Commission ratherthan the appalling conduct of ourleaders. The 2019 general electionwill long be remembered not justfor the transgressions of the toppolitical leadership, but also forthe Election Commission (EC) it-self being put in the dock. The EChas repeatedly found itself at thereceiving end of scathing attacksfrom the Opposition, the public,the media and the judiciary. Thisis unprecedented for what was un-til now the most trusted institu-tion in the country. Trust deficitIndeed, the trust deficit betweenthe EC and the Opposition partiesand the voters started with theEVM/VVPAT saga. The EC wasaccused of being on the defensiverather than being communica-tive. On April 8, in a letter to thePresident, a group of retired bu-reaucrats and diplomats ex-pressed concern over the EC’s“weak-kneed conduct” and saidthat the institution is “sufferingfrom a crisis of credibility today”.

The last two months have beena trying time for me as well. Eversince I demitted office in 2012, Ihave been a self-appointedspokesperson for the EC, defend-ing every action of the body thatneeded to be defended. I must haverefused at least a hundred re-quests by the media to commenton recent happenings. On the fewoccasions I was drawn into the de-bate, it was a painful struggle to

find suitable words that would notsound like an indictment of thebody of which I was proud to be apart. I noticed the same predica-ment on the faces of two formerChief Election Commissioners(CECs) who appeared on televi-sion recently. Then I rememberedthe words of Martin Luther King,Jr.: “Our lives begin to end the daywe become silent about thingsthat matter.” And Plato, “I will putdown your silence as consent.” Ittook repeated raps on its knucklesby the Supreme Court for the ECto crack the whip. It is a pity thatwe needed the Supreme Court toremind the EC of powers that it al-ways had. Article 329 of theConstitution has barred courtsfrom interfering in electoral mat-ters after the election process hasbeen set in motion. In a long chainof judgments, the Supreme Court

has reiterated that provision andrestrained all courts from inter-vening. It is therefore significantthat in the last couple of months,the apex court itself had to jump infor course correction. This ismore serious than is realised atpresent. On April 15, a SupremeCourt Bench headed by the ChiefJustice of India pulled up the ECfor not acting against hate speech-es and statements on religiouslines. It was reported that the ECtold the apex court, “We are tooth-less, we are powerless, we issuenotices, then advisory and on re-peated violation, we file com-plaint.” The Supreme Court wasfurious with this stand. TheSupreme Court had observed in1977 that “where these [the exist-ing laws] are absent, and yet a sit-uation has to be tackled, the ChiefElection Commissioner has not to

fold his hands and pray to God fordivine inspiration to enable himto exercise his functions and toperform his duties or to look toany external authority for thegrant of powers to deal with thesituation. He must lawfully exer-cise his power independently, inall matters relating to the conductof elections, and see that the elec-tion process is completed proper-ly, in a free and fair manner.” Thishas been the EC’s bible. After theEC had not acted on complaintsagainst Prime Minister NarendraModi and BJP president AmitShah for almost a month, theSupreme Court ordered it to do sobefore May 6. The EC promptlydisposed of several complaints,giving the two leaders a clean chitin each case. Just as the EC wasbeing written off, we got the goodnews that at least one ElectionCommissioner had dissented onfive decisions taken by the EC onegiving a clean chit to Mr. Shah andfour to Mr. Modi. He thought thatthe Prime Minister had, in fact, in-voked the armed forces in an elec-tion campaign in violation of theEC’s guidelines instructing politi-cians to refrain from the same. Hisminority vote may not havechanged the result, but dissent is ahealthy sign of objective delibera-tion, and thus presents a ray ofhope. I can say from experiencethat the EC has got away withmany mistakes largely because ofits credibility and people’s trust inthe institution. But this trust can-

There are some striking simi-larities between what WinstonChurchill had said about Indian in-dependence in the BritishParliament on March 6, 1947 andwhat The Economist wrote aboutIndia in general and PrimeMinister Narendra Modi in partic-ular in its latest issue, that hitnewsstands over the weekend. Inhis speech, Churchill had arguedthat India should be given “domin-ion” status, still partially governedby the British King, versus full in-dependence. Second, he argued:“Let the House remember this. TheIndian political parties and politi-cal classes do not represent theIndian masses. It is a delusion tobelieve that they do.” A lot of waterhas flowed down the Thames andthe Ganga-Yamuna since then butin the minds of the editors of TheEconomist, time has not changed.In such a time-wrapped mindset,it’s not surprising that they thinkthey have better judgment than or-dinary Indians about India’s ownaffairs. These apostles of Britishsupremacy, who themselves can-not decide for the past two yearsabout a pivotal issue in their coun-try like Brexit, are questioning thewisdom of the Indian electorate. Itis not the first time that TheEconomist has shown such a su-

premacist mindset. This magazinehad even expressed disapproval ofIndia’s space programme, and hadargued: “What if the 16,000 scien-tists and engineers now workingon space development were de-ployed instead to fix the rotten san-itation?” Of course, The Economistwon’t suggest scrapping the £400million UK Space Agency’s budgetto partially fill the mega deficit of£4.3 billon in Britain’s publichealth system. It’s indeed morethan spare change. Coming to thespecifics, The Economist has de-tailed a long list of so-called “fail-ures” such as demonetisation.Even if we ignore that many itemsin this list are copy-pasted from thespeeches of their favourite leader,Rahul Gandhi, the magazine hasconveniently forgotten that theruling BJP has won several elec-tions after demonetisation. It alsothinks that the rise of GDP growthfrom five per cent in 2014 to aboveseven per cent under the NarendraModi government is only a margin-al increase. So cluttered is the vi-sion of this magazine’s editors thatwhen the entire Opposition inIndia criticises Mr Modi for overoccupying media space, TheEconomist claims that he appearsonly at major events. Its claim of araging Hindu-Muslim divide bythe current government is alsoequally baseless. This government

hasn’t discriminated against any-one on the basis of his/her caste,region, faith or gender while imple-menting any of its welfare and de-velopment schemes, be it beUjjwala, microfinance, housing orcritical healthcare. They all wereimplemented in a highly efficientand transparent manner and onthe basis of uniform criteria. Ofcourse, The Economist won’t talkabout it. On the contrary, despiteaccepting that the Congress is cor-rupt, inefficient and weak, there iswishful thinking in the minds ofthe editors of The Economist thatRahul Gandhi should lead the nextgovernment. Even in 2014, it en-dorsed Rahul Gandhi as PrimeMinister. They have given a longlaundry list of the so-called mis-deeds of this government, butdidn’t bother to mention even one

for the Congress, conveniently for-getting the 1984 pogrom againstSikhs by Congress workers forwhich no one is convicted so far.They are full of praise for the unre-alistic promises in the Congressmanifesto. As a magazine which isfocused on the economy, TheEconomist at least should haveasked some tough questions onhow a scheme like “Nyay” wouldbe funded without increasing taxesand/or widening the fiscal deficit.

One finds a few other strikingsimilarities between the attitude ofChurchill and that of TheEconomist and its editors as far asIndia is concerned. Churchill’srole in the deaths of millions in the1943 Bengal Famine is well docu-mented. But there are some histori-ans like Allan Packwood, who have

Will the honourable Justicesstand up as the collective con-science of the Supreme Court?Finally, the in-house committeehas spoken: “No substance in theallegations contained in theComplaint dated 19th April, 2019 ofa former Employee of the SupremeCourt.” In the absence of anyknown procedure, the non-obser-vance of the principles of naturaljustice and the absence of effectiverepresentation of the victim, the re-port, even though not for the pub-lic, is non-est and void ab initio.

The story so far : The complaintmade by the victim of sexual ha-rassment to the judges oftheSupreme Court had two equallyserious facets. One related to sexu-al harassment, a very seriouscharge. The other related to the vic-timisation of the complainant andher family “at the hands of theChief Justice of India [CJI]”, asclaimed by her. It is this lattercharge to which the nation needs topay equal, if not greater, attention.The charge on this count, as per heraffidavit, involves the following: af-ter the alleged incident on October11, 2018, her transfer to the Centrefor Research and Planning onOctober 22, change of position to

“Admin, Material Section” onNovember 16, issuance of a memo-randum on November 19 by DeepakJain, Registrar, accusing the vic-tim of violating conduct rules andseeking an explanation, her thirdtransfer to the Library Division onNovember 22, the issuance of amemorandum on November 26 re-jecting her explanation and propos-ing further action, her suspensionon November 27, and the communi-

cation of December 18 from theRegistrar that the charges againsther stood proved. On December 21,she was dismissed from service.

Meanwhile, according to her af-fidavit, on November 27, her hus-band, a head constable with theDelhi Police, Crime BranchDivision, was transferred to theThird Battalion. On December 8,her husband, and the latter’s broth-er, also a constable with the Delhi

Police, were suspended over tele-phone, and the orders followed thenext day. On January 2, 2019, an in-quiry was initiated by a DeputyCommissioner of Police againsther husband on the ground that“unsolicited calls were made to theOffice of the Hon’ble Chief Justiceamounting to official misconduct”.On January 11, the victim and herhusband were summoned toDelhi’s Tilak Marg police stationby Station House Officer (SHO)Naresh Solanki. In their presence,the SHO called the Registrar, Mr.Jain, to discuss ways to reach theresidence of CJI Ranjan Gogoi. TheSHO, the victim and the husbandwent there, and in the presence ofMr. Jain, the victim was forced tofall at the feet of the CJI’s wife.

Upon their return to the policestation, the SHO had a long conver-sation with the victim and her hus-band. On January 14, the disabledbrother-in-law of the victim, whohad been appointed temporaryJunior Court Attendant under theorders of the CJI himself onOctober 9, 2018, was removed fromservice. On March 3, an FIR wasregistered on a complaint by a per-son named Naveen Kumar at theTilak Marg police station in respectof an alleged demand made by the

victim in June 2017 for a bribe of •10 lakh for getting hima job in the Supreme Court and his payment of •50,000 asadvance. Based on this FIR, the victim and her husbandwere arrested from their village in Rajasthan, hand-cuffed and subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment.The victim was remanded for a day on March 10. She wasreleased on bail on March 12. The affidavit in support ofthe complaint appears truthful and honest. The detailsare heart-rending and extremely troubling, and reflect adeep malaise that appears to have set in in high offices.These incidents are all corroborated by official records.Collectively, they establish beyond doubt the victimisa-tion of the woman, her husband and other family mem-bers at the hands of the state machinery, including theRegistry of the Supreme Court. Violations of rights Eachof these actions is either unconstitutional or illegal orcriminal in nature. Clearly, they establish a well-de-signed conspiracy to victimise the victim beyond re-demption so as to ensure that neither she nor her hus-band and her family members could raise their headsagain to seek justice in respect of the complaint madeagainst the CJI. Together, they constitute gross viola-tions of the constitutional and fundamental rights of thevictim and her family members, including those guar-anteed under Articles 14 and 21. Clearly, the motive be-hind ensuring grossly inhuman, illegal, unconstitution-al and disproportionate punishment to the victim andher family members seems to be to suppress her will andspirit so that she does not raise any charge about the in-cident of October 11, 2018. One thing is clear: com-plainant Naveen Kumar, who alleged that the victim de-manded a bribe and willingly offered, according to hisown case, •50,000, has made himself an accomplice to thealleged bribery to secure public employment. He musttherefore face the rigour of the law. The case on its ownshowing appears to be concocted and its timing raisesserious questions about its authenticity. If the bribe wasdemanded in June 2017, it is a curious coincidence thatthe complainant from Jhajjar, Haryana surfaces inMarch 2019 and that too in Tilak Marg police station tomake the complaint. It activates the entire police ma-chinery against the victim and her family. This was thefinal nail in the coffin, as the proverb goes, pushing thevictim and her family to the wall and igniting in themthe courage to stand up against the CJI and make thecomplaint on April 19. Those who have doubts about theso-called delay in the complaint must be prepared to putthemselves in the shoes of the victim, a Class III employ-ee pitted against the Chief Justice of India, one of thehighest and the most powerful constitutional func-

tionaries. Her approaching lawyers who are widely re-spected as human rights activists was natural and can-not be viewed with suspicion under any circumstances.The Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court in OlgaTellis v. Bombay Municipal Corporation recognisedprocedural safeguards as necessary and said they have“historical origins in the notion that conditions of per-sonal freedom can be preserved only when there is someinstitutional check on arbitrary action on the part ofpublic authorities”.

In Uma Shankar Sistani v. Commissioner ofPolice,Delhi (1996), the Supreme Court ordered theCentral Bureau of Investigation to investigate the cir-cumstances under which a false complaint was regis-tered against the petitioner, leading to his arrest. TheFIR against the victim in this case needs the same treat-ment. Equally, the punishment of dismissal imposed onher is grossly disproportionate, even assuming that thecharges against her were proved. The Supreme Courthas consistently frowned upon such punishments.InRanjit Thakur v. UOI (1987), the court interpreted thedoctrine of proportionality “as part of the concept of ju-dicial review” to ensure that if the sentence is an outra-geous defiance of logic, then it can be corrected. Groundsfor judicial review Irrationality and perversity arerecognised grounds of judicial review. The court hasheld that if the punishment is outrageously dispropor-tionate and the court considers it arbitrary in that it iswholly irrational or “a punishment is so excessive ordisproportionate to the offence as to shock the con-science of the Court the same can be interfered with”. Oneach one of these counts the punishment of dismissal im-posed upon the victim is completely arbitrary and per-verse. It must go. Where can she and her family mem-bers get justice if the police at the highest level is pittedagainst them? Will they ever get a fair investigation andfair reports in the criminal cases? It is doubtful. Can sheand her family get justice at all at the hands of the judici-ary, considering the respondents would be the CJI andthe Supreme Court? Only time will tell. But certainly forthe present, the picture is dark for them. All these raiseextremely troubling and discomforting thoughts in theminds of many. Is it the Supreme Court as an institutionthat is responsible for what has happened, or is it theCJI? The dichotomy will emerge only when otherJustices act independently, uphold the majesty of thelaw and steer the institution out of troubled waters. Ifthey fail, the institution is doomed to serious loss of faceand credibility. It is time the collective conscience of theJustices prevails.

justified even this dreaded action of Churchill. “It was ahorrendous event but it needs to be seen within the con-text of the global war… Churchill was running a globalwar at this point, and there are always going to be con-flicting priorities and demands… It’s an incrediblycomplex and evolving situation — and he’s not alwaysgoing to get everything right,” wrote Packwood.Similarly, The Economist too argues that the Congressis “corrupt, inefficient”, but is still better suited to gov-ern India (because the Congress has different priori-ties). Similarly, this is what Churchill said aboutMahatma Gandhi: “It is alarming and nauseating to seeMr Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now pos-ing as a fakir… striding half-naked up the steps of theViceregal Palace.” He even argued in favour of “gettingrid of the Mahatma”. It seems The Economist’s editorsfeel equally nauseated seeing the “backward” NarendraModi occupying the hearts and minds of over a billionIndians, rather than princely dynast Rahul Gandhi.

While the arguments in The Economist editorial arefull of arrogance, a “we know better than you” attitudeand elitist, at the same time it’s a reflection of its de-featist mindset. Churchill was very saddened by the“disappearance of Britain from the East”, and he fur-ther said: “It is with deep grief I watch the clattering

down of the British Empire, with all its glories and allthe services it has rendered to mankind. But, at least, letus not add by shameful flight, by a premature, hurriedscuttle at least, let us not add, to the pangs of sorrow somany of us feel, the taint and smear of shame.” Onefinds a similar tone of accepting the eventual defeat ofthe Congress in the editorial of The Economist.Fortunately, not everyone in the United Kingdom is ofthe same mindset as The Economist. After NarendraModi’s thumping victory in 2014, London’s Guardiannewspaper wrote: “Today, 18 May 2014, may well godown in history as the day when Britain finally leftIndia. Narendra Modi’s victory in the election marksthe end of a long era in which the structures of power didnot differ greatly from those through which Britainruled the sub-continent. India under the Congress wasin many ways a continuation of the British Raj by othermeans.” Therefore, it’s not the popularity and certainvictory of Narendra Modi that is despicable and danger-ous, but the elitist mindset of The Economist. The soon-er it comes out this echo chamber, the more acceptabili-ty it is likely to gain. Otherwise, it can continue with itseternal daydream of making Rahul Gandhi India’s nextPrime Minister. That daydream will not become realityon May 23, 2019, and not even in 2024!

Indian banks are tryinghard to ensure that the airline can find a buyer, even ifthat buyer is Naresh Goyal himself, with the banks tak-ing a massive haircut on their loans. However, ideally,the airline should find a new owner. Unlike Kingfisher,Jet Airways has a well-established brand value and a

frequent flyer programme with millions of fairly loyalpassengers, many of whom are willing the airline tosucceed. But the airline business, as we are well aware,is a brutal one, and the Government should not step into keep the airline running on taxpayer money, having onedrain on taxpayer funds Air India as it is. Ironically, someexperts feel that Jet’s demise might actually help sur-viving airlines in India to do better with more sustain-able airfares and eventually more sustainable growth.

not be taken for granted. The moment there is a deficitof credibility, problems begin. Appointments and re-moval The root of the problem lies in the flawed sys-tem of appointment of Election Commissioners. Theyare appointed unilaterally by the government of theday. There has been a demand for de-politicising ap-pointments through a broad-based consultation, as isdone in other countries. The uncertainty of elevationby seniority makes them vulnerable to governmentpressure. The government can control a defiant CECthrough the majority voting power of the two ElectionCommissioners. In its 255th Report, the LawCommission of India recommended a collegium sys-tem for appointing Election Commissioners. Politicalstalwarts such as L.K. Advani and former CECs B.B.Tandon, N. Gopalaswami and I supported the ideaeven when in office. But successive ruling dispensa-tions have ducked the issue, not wanting to let go oftheir power. It is obvious that political and electoralinterests take precedence over national interest. Apublic interest litigation was also filed in the SupremeCourt in 2018. This has been referred to a ConstitutionBench. I feel that on issues of such vital importance,even the Supreme Court, which I have always de-scribed as the guardian angel of democracy, has to act

urgently. If democracy is derailed, its future too wouldbe in jeopardy. Apart from the manner of appoint-ment, the provision for the removal of ElectionCommissioners also needs correction. At present, on-ly the CEC is protected from being removed (exceptthrough impeachment). One has to remember that theConstitution enabled protection to the CEC as it was aone-man Commission initially. This must now be ex-tended to other Commissioners, who were added in1993, as they collectively represent the EC. In the richhistory of democratic India, all institutions of the statehave come under pressure at one point or another. Butthe strength and credibility of an institution is testedwhen it buckles under political influence. It is unfor-tunate that the topic of debate now is the EC ratherthan the appalling and unconstitutional conduct ofour leaders. Over 40 electoral reforms remain pendingfor two decades. While it seems futile to have any hopefrom the political leadership, it is imperative that theEC asserts the ample authority that it already possess-es constitutionally. It has the full support of theSupreme Court. It must act tough. This is not a merequestion of its discretion, but a constitutional duty.Governments come and go, but the reputation of theEC stays for good.

London, May 7 (PTI)

Fugitive diamond merchant NiravModi will file a third bail plea Wednesdaybefore a UK court, which has already re-jected his bail twice before as he fights hisextradition case in the Punjab NationalBank (PNB) fraud and money launderingcase amounting to up to USD 2 billion.

Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot isscheduled to hear the third bail applica-tion at Westminster Magistrates' Court inLondon.

It remains unconfirmed whether Modiwill appear in person or via videolinkfrom Wandsworth prison in south-westLondon, where the 48-year-old has beenlodged since his arrest in March.

His barrister, Clare Montgomery, willseek to convince the judge of a change ofcircumstances in order to seek bail for athird time at the same court.

"He has had his two bail applicationsin the lower court. He can only make a

third application if he can persuade thecourt that there has been a change in cir-cumstances. He is arguing a change of cir-cumstances based on new evidence," saida spokesperson for the UK's CrownProsecution Service (CPS), which repre-sents the Indian government in the extra-dition proceedings.

"He will have to seek to persuade theJudge that this constitutes a change of cir-cumstances and that he should be permit-ted to make another bail application," thespokesperson said.

Modi's legal team, led by solicitorAnand Doobay, have previously offered 1million pounds as security alongside anoffer to meet stringent electronic tag re-strictions on their client's movements,"akin to house arrest". It remains to beseen how they plan to bolster the applica-tion for a third attempt before the samecourt. "This is a case of substantial fraud,with loss to a bank in India of betweenUSD 1-2 billion. I am not persuaded that

the conditional bail sought will meet theconcerns of the government of India inthis case," Judge Arbuthnot had said,when rejecting the previous bail applica-tion. She also noted that "very unusuallyin a fraud case", Modi had made deaththreats to witnesses and also attempted todestroy evidence in the case. The diamond

dealer's "lack of community ties" in the UKand an attempt to acquire the citizenshipof Vanuatu - a remote island in the SouthPacific Ocean - in late 2017 went againsthim, as the judge said it seemed like hewas trying to "move away from India at animportant time".

The CPS team, represented by barris-ter Nick Hearn from Furnival Chambers,is expected to oppose the latest bail appli-cation on similar grounds.

At the last hearing in the extraditioncase on April 26, when Modi had appearedbefore Judge Arbuthnot via videolinkfrom prison, no application had beenmade for bail and he was further remand-ed in judicial custody until May 24.

The court was also told that May 30 hadbeen tentatively ear-marked as the firstcase management hearing ahead of an ex-tradition trial, but it now remains to beseen how the case will progress after thelatest bail application.

Earlier, the CPS had confirmed that

Modi intends to appeal against his bail re-jection in the UK's High Court. However,the bail hearing this week will take placeat the same lower court on the basis of"change of circumstances".

Modi was arrested by uniformedScotland Yard officers in central Londonon March 19. During subsequent hearings,Westminster Magistrates' Court was toldthat Modi was the "principal beneficiary"of the fraudulent issuance of letters of un-dertaking (LoUs) as part of a conspiracy todefraud PNB and then laundering the pro-ceeds of crime.

Meanwhile, the diamond merchant re-mains behind bars at one of England'smost overcrowded prisons Her Majesty'sPrison (HMP) Wandsworth, where he canhold sessions with his legal team to delib-erate on the course of his extradition pro-ceedings. His lawyers had urged the judgeto allow them more time with their clientthan the few hours a week permitted bythe jail.

During the course ofthe litigation,Devathasan had handledfunds in his Singaporebank account despite anasset freezing order,failed to disclose proper-ties, deliberately embar-rassed his daughter andsuggested that a judgehad "spread her legswide" to the claimant'scounsel, the court wastold. The doctor ran aprivate clinic at MountElizabeth Hospital, andhad married Devathasanin 1997. She filed for di-vorce in 2016, ChannelNews Asia reported. Thecouple was described inthe court judgment as be-ing "uncommonlywealthy", and had ownedexpensive cars, jew-ellery, artwork and

homes, with investmentproperties in Canada,the US, Singapore,Thailand and Malaysia.Devathasan divorcedher first husband in 1996,while Devathasan di-vorced his first wife,with whom he had twochildren with, in 1997.Shortly after, the couplegot married inSingapore in August1997. The couple's rela-tionship deteriorated in2015 and early 2016, ac-cording to the court pa-pers. Devathasan com-menced divorce proceed-ings in July 2016.

Devathasan obtainedan asset freezing orderand a protection order,and these orders wereserved to Devathasan inAugust 2016. The doctor

claimed that they werenot binding as he was inSingapore and took stepsto deal with his assets.

Devathasan's pastconduct was also takeninto account in decidingongoing and future childsupport. He has to payCanadian dollars 33,084for past child supportand a lump sum ofCanadian dollars 579,000for child support for theperiod through to June2022.

"For a long time hewas utterly unwilling toacknowledge or fulfillhis parental and spousalresponsibilities or ac-knowledge this court'srole in adjudicatingthose responsibilities,"Justice Gomery said inhis judgment.

Sri Lankan PrimeMinister RanilWickremesinghe onTuesday said that authori-ties have arrested or killedall the militants responsi-ble for the deadly Easterblasts, but warned that thecountry still faces thethreat of ISIS terror at-tacks. Speaking inParliament during a de-bate on the current securi-ty situation in the country,Wickremesinghe said allthose directly linked to theEaster Sunday attackswere either killed or are incustody.

Nine suicide bomberscarried out a series of dev-astating blasts that torethrough three churchesand three luxury hotels onthe Easter Sunday. TheIslamic State claimed theattacks, but the govern-ment blamed local Islamistextremist group NationalThawheed Jammath (NTJ)for the bombings thatkilled more than 250 peo-ple.

Wickremesinghe saidinvestigations had re-vealed the bombers had di-rect or indirect links withIslamic State and the is-

land nation needed sophis-ticated technology to dealwith the threat posed bysuch terror networks. "Thedanger is not over, we arenow a victim of global ter-rorism," he said. He saidthat Sri Lanka must workwith the internationalcommunity to face theglobal threat from terror-ism. "Some assume work-ing with the internationalcommunity means bring-ing down foreign troops.That will not happen," hesaid. His comments cameas Sri Lankan police andmilitary chiefs assuredthat the country is nowsafe and can get back tonormalcy. Addressing apress conference onMonday night, the tri-forces commanders andthe police chief said the se-curity of the country fol-lowing the April 21 bomb-ings has been ensured withadequate measures andsteps have been taken toimplement a special secu-rity plan. Acting InspectorGeneral of Police (IGP)Chandana Wickremaratnesaid that all those directlylinked to the attacks onthree churches and threeluxury hotels have been ar-rested or were killed.

He also said that all theexplosives believed to belinked to local Islamist out-fit National ThowheethJama'ath (NTJ), blamedfor the attacks, have beenfound. "All explosives pos-sessed by the terroristgroup has been seized.Almost everyone identi-fied with the group havebeen arrested. Two of theirbomb experts have died inthe clashes. The police canhappily announce thateveryone with direct linkshave been either arrestedor killed by now," he said.

Wickramaratne did notsay how many people havebeen arrested over thebombings, but policespokesman RuwanGunasekera has said that73 people, including ninewomen, were arrested andbeing questioned by theCID and the TerroristInvestigation Department(TID). The spokesman alsosaid the CriminalInvestigation Departmentidentified more than Rs 140million cash and other as-sets worth over Rs 7 billionbelonging to the NTJ.Wickramaratne, who wasnamed acting police chieflast week after PresidentMaithripala Sirisena sus-

pended his predecessorover his failure to act on in-telligence warnings aboutthe attacks, said the coun-try can now get back to nor-malcy with the lifting ofcurfews imposed after theattacks. He urged the pub-lic not to be misled by un-verified reports. The gov-ernment reopened schoolson Monday, but atten-dance dropped to below 10per cent in many placeswith parents still fearingattacks.

China on Tuesday said its toptrade negotiator will take part intalks in Washington this week, re-moving the uncertainty over thefate of crucial negotiations on tar-iffs after US President DonaldTrump's threat to impose stiff du-ties on imported Chinese productsworth over USD 200 billion.

China's Ministry of Commerceannounced here that Vice-PremierLiu He will visit the US on May 9-10for the 11th round of trade talks atthe invitation of US TradeRepresentative Robert Lighthizerand Treasury Secretary StevenMnuchin. Liu is also a member ofthe Politburo of the rulingCommunist Party of China CentralCommittee and chief of the Chineseside of the China-US comprehen-sive economic dialogue. Media re-ports earlier speculated that Chinamay not send Liu for the talks thatwere initially scheduled to be heldon Wednesday after Trump in a se-ries of tweets on Sunday said theUS has been losing USD 500 billionper year on trade with China andhe will no longer allow that to hap-pen. "The 10 per cent will go up to 25per cent on Friday. 325 billions dol-lars of additional goods sent to usby China remain untaxed, but willbe shortly, at a rate of 25 per cent,"he said, adding the tariffs paid to

the US have had little impact onproduct cost, mostly borne byChina. Chinese Foreign Ministryspokesman Geng Shuang onTuesday refuted US criticism thatChina has gone back on commit-ments made in the previous roundsof talks.

Mutual respect and mutual ben-efit is the precondition for us toreach a treaty. Raising tariffs can-not resolve any problem. I have toclarify that negotiation itself is aprocess of discussion," he said.

"It is natural for the two sides tohave differences. We will not side-step contradictions but we are sin-cere about continuing the consulta-tions, Geng said.

Reacting to criticism thatChina is changing its position onthe negotiations in view of Trumps'threats to impose tariffs, he said,we have seen that many times be-fore.

China's position is clear cut andthe US also knows that well. Hopethe US will join efforts with Chinato meet each other half way on thebasis of mutual trust to resolveeach other's concerns to reach amutually beneficial treaty, he said.

Asked whether this meant thatChina is not taking Trump's threatseriously, he said, I believe you arevery clear about China's positionand the US government also knowthat very well.

It is a bit harsh on DelhiCapitals that they are playing thedo-or-die game despite securing 18points after nine wins and five loss-es from 14 matches.

Despite winning three match-es more than Hyderabad, severelyweakened by the departure ofDavid Warner and Jonny Bairstowfor their World Cup nationalcamps, DC find themselves in thesame boat as SRH and a defeat willknock them out of the league.

The big loss to Chennai SuperKings hurt them a lot.

For a while before that drub-bing, DC battled for the top spotwith three-time winners ChennaiSuper Kings and Mumbai Indiansbefore finishing third at the end ofleague engagements.

Delhi Capitals have neverreached the IPL final, never madethe top-two, and ventured into the

top-four for the first time since2012. Considering the results andconsistency, it seemed DC's searchfor that elusive winning combina-tion has finally ended, whichbrought the smiles back on thefaces of fans after years of disap-pointment. There have been thefailures too. After a dominant startagainst Mumbai, Delhi went downto CSK, suffered one of their worstcollapses ever against Kings XIPunjab and lost a home game toSRH. Things turned around afterthe SRH game and Delhi emergedas one of the best teams on the roadthis season. Picked in the tradingwindow, India opener ShikharDhawan lived up to the expecta-tions of the team management and

franchise, scoring over 450 runs.Along with the young PrithviShaw, the experienced Dhawanformed a fine opening combina-tion, and scored briskly in the pow-erplay overs. Skipper Shreyas Iyer(over 400 runs) showed immensematurity while leading the sideand also played some substantialknocks. Ignored from the WorldCup squad at the expense of DineshKarthik, Rishabh Pant has provedhis worth in the side with hishandy cameos at crucial junc-tures. Delhi were also helped bythe presence of two of cricket'sgreatest brains Ricky Ponting andSourav Ganguly. They will missthe services of pace spearheadKagiso Rabada but DC have

enough firepower in bowling tosurprise SRH, who became thefirst team in IPL history to qualifyfor the playoffs with 12 points.

While the duo of Warner andBairstow played a pivotal role inSRH's performances and dominat-ed the powerplay better than otherteams, the likes of Manish Pandeystepped in after they left to be withtheir respective national teams. Inbowling, Rashid Khan,Bhuvneswar Kumar and KhaleelAhmed have done just enough tohelp Sunrisers Hyderabad keepthings.

In Kane Williamson, SRH havea dependable captain and he willexpect a little more from his NewZealand team-mate MartinGuptill. It will be another opportu-nity for Vijay Shankar to make amark before flying to the UnitedKingdom for the World Cup.

English umpire NigelLlong could face theBCCI's scrutiny for al-legedly damaging the doorof a stadium room after anargument with ViratKohli but the Indian boardis unlikely to remove himas an official for the IPL fi-nal on May 12. Llong re-portedly lost his cool afterbeing confronted by RoyalChallengers Bangaloreskipper Kohli over a con-tentious no ball callagainst SunrisersHyderabad during an IPLmatch on Saturday inBengaluru. According toreports, the ICC ElitePanel official kicked thedoor of the umpires' roomduring the innings break

and damaged it.A BCCI official told

PTI that Llong might havesome explaining to do butthe matter will not costhim his place as a desig-nated umpire for the IPL fi-nal to be held inHyderabad.

The BCCI, it is learnt,is in a dilemma on whetherto even consider takingsuch a step "for a moment'sindiscretion".

In Bengaluru,Karnataka State CricketAssociation secretary RSudhakar Rao said theKSCA has demanded ac-tion against Llong. Rao,however, did say that the50-year-old paid for thedamage caused.

"We have reported thematter to the Committee of

Administrators (COA) andhopefully action will betaken against Nigel Llong.If the players are punishedfor their misdemeanourand fined their match feesthen why not the um-pires," he said.

"I didn't speak to um-pire Llong but I spoke tomatch referee NarayananKutty. I am hopeful COAwill take action," he added.

Llong paid Rs 5000 af-ter he was confronted bythe KSCA officials and haddemanded a receipt of thepayment.

Llong has stood in 56Tests, 123 ODIs and 32 T20Internationals in his ca-reer and will be standingin the upcoming WorldCup in the UnitedKingdom, starting May 30.

New Delhi, May 7 (PTI)

Afghanistan chief selector Dawlat KhanAhmadzai Tuesday justified the unexpectedsacking of ODI skipper Asghar Afghan aheadof the World Cup, saying the decision was tak-en looking at the long-term future of the team.

The three-member selection panel led byAhmadzai announced three captains for threeformats last month, in a move that led to un-rest in the team with star players Rashid Khanand Mohammad Nabi openly voicing theirconcerns over the timing of the decision.

"We realised that we can't win the WorldCup at this moment under Asghar's captaincyor anyone else who would have been in charge.We made the decision not just thinking aboutthis World Cup, we are thinking about the 2023edition.

"We will be getting 10 matches with fullmembers and we feel it will provide perfecttraining for the new captain (Gulbadin Naib),"said Ahmadzai, who is a former Afghanistanfast bowler, in response to a PTI query.

Asked about the need for announcing splitcaptaincy less than two months from theWorld Cup, the chief selector said: "Like youare expressing your concern to me, there wereconcerns expressed by the players (Rashidand Nabi) and the entire issue was handledprofessionally.

"They felt it was not the right time tochange captaincy but later understood that itwas in the best interest of the team."

Asghar was the captain in all formats butnow Naib will lead the team in the 50-overWorld Cup, Rashid in T20s and Rahmat Shahin Tests.

Ahmadzai insisted Naib is the right choiceto captain Afghanistan in ODIs.

"The team members, including Rashid andNabi, are now happy for Gulbadin. He is not anew man. He has been playing for 17 years andhas captaincy experience at the first-class andU-19 level. "Asghar himself has said thatGulbadin is like his younger brother who be-lieves that Asghar's experience will come inhandy in the World Cup. They are a united

front now. Changes happen. Sri Lanka alsochanged their captain," said Ahmadzai refer-ring to Naib, who has played 52 ODIs and 38T20 Internationals.

On a lighter note, Afghanistan CEOAsadullah Khan, who was sitting alongsidethe chief selector, said: "M S Dhoni also playsunder Virat Kohli." Leggie Rashid isAfghanistan's biggest star at the moment, hav-ing tasted success in leagues all around theworld including the IPL.

Asked why he was not chosen to lead theteam in the World Cup beginning May 30 in theUK, Ahmadzai said: "Rashid is not ready for allformats but he is ready for T20. He is too busyplaying (all around the world)." The team,which made its World Cup debut in 2015, iscurrently preparing in South Africa.

The chief selector said the aim is to makethe last-four of the mega event and surprise afew teams. "There was no Rashid or Mujeeb in2015 so this time we are aiming for a semifinalberth. With the team composition we have, wecan definitely surprise a few teams."

Asked if Afghanistan is too dependant ontheir star spinners, Ahmadzai disagreed.

"Hamid Hasan is back into the fast bowlingattack and that is a big boost. He has been agreat fast bowler for Afghanistan and will leadthe pace attack alongside Dawlat Zadran." Heis also happy with the team's preparation forthe quadrennial event.

"Two things are required for the team toperform well: selection and preparation. Wehave been working on that for the past sixmonths. We have played in Scotland andSouth Africa, we feel the preparation is com-plete. "We have a well-balanced team. Rashidhas done well in county cricket, Mujeeb canuse the new ball and we have potent fastbowlers who can exploit English conditions."

Talking about the health of the game backhome, the chief selector said the sport is grow-ing rapidly and "there are around five lakhcricketers in the country and most of themwant to be Rashid."

"There is also a lot of work going at thefirst-class level. Shah is specifically working

Tiger Woods has been bestowedAmerica's highest civilian honour byPresident Donald Trump and describedthe ace golfer as a "true legend" in thehistory of world sports who staged an"amazing comeback" to win his fifthMasters title last month.

The 43-year-old, who won theMasters at Augusta in April, receivedthe Presidential Medal of Freedom at aWhite House Rose Garden ceremonywhere he was given a standing ovation.

He is only the fourth and theyoungest golfer ever to have receivedthe the highest American civilianaward. Calling Woods, "a global symbolof American excellence, devotion anddrive," the president said, "Tiger's de-termination and work ethic drove golfto new heights of athletic competitionand popularity." Trump praised Woodsas "one of the greatest athletes in thehistory of sports."

Trump said, "we were in the pres-ence of a true legend" who is "also agreat person, a great guy"."We can'twait to see what's next, Tiger," saidTrump, an avid golfer and owner of sev-eral golf courses around the world.

Trump recalled Woods' historic ca-reer from 1997 to his 2019 Masters win,including his injuries and miraculouscomeback. When the President dis-cussed the 2019 Masters win, he also not-ed that Woods' run broke televisionrecords that day as well.

"Congratulations again on youramazing comeback and your amazinglife and for giving sports fans every-where a lifetime of memories," Trump

said. Woods choked up as he thankedhis mother, his two children, his girl-friend and his caddy during the ceremo-ny on Monday in the White House RoseGarden. "You've seen the good and thebad, the highs and the lows, and I wouldnot be in this position without all ofyour help," Woods said, who dominatedthe sport for more than a decade.

He won his first major in nearly 11years at last month's MastersTournament, a comeback that captivat-ed the sporting world. Woods's Mastersvictory in April was his 15th majorchampionship, during which he weath-ered a marital infidelity scandal thatended in divorce, a debilitating spineinjury, an addiction to prescriptionpainkillers and grave doubts about hisathletic longevity.

Trump has long been a fan and re-cently, a business partner of Woods. Heannounced his decision to give theaward to Woods in a tweet, after Woodswon the Masters tournament lastmonth, his first major title since the2008 US Open, capping a remarkablecomeback from personal turmoil andphysical injuries.

The indiscriminatearrests of youths acrossKashmir and particular-ly in southern districtsof the Valley in the re-cent times will erodepeople’s trust in the gov-ernment further andwiden the gulf whichwould be difficult tobridge. As the responseof people in the just con-cluded Lok Sabha elec-tions was not so encour-aging in south Kashmir,it warrants introspec-tion from the politicalleaders, particularlyfrom those who are at thehelm of affairs in Delhi.Muscular security poli-cy has neither worked inthe past not there areany chances of it yield-ing any results in future.It has only added thecomplexities of the situa-tion. Such policy is a dis-service not only to thepeople of Jammu andKashmir but for thewhole country if politi-cal leadership refuses to

draw lessons from thisunfortunate experience.The deepening politicaluncertainty in Kashmirhas got compounded dueto the disastrous policiesof the BJP governmentin Delhi. Kashmir is inconstant chaos and thenew realities are beingsketched under the shad-ow of guns and the BJP’saggressive Kashmir pol-icy. The Centre’s policyof viewing everythingthrough the prism of se-curity and with rabid ul-tra nationalistic over-tones has compoundedthe problem further.Security-oriented ap-proach overtaking thepolitical outreach willend up being a loss forthe people of Kashmirand to the country as awhole. What is urgentlyrequired is to shun thepath of confrontationand repression and ini-tiative a credible processof talks with all stake-holders. The current un-rest is the result of deepand massive alienation

caused by long history ofbroken commitments,repression, socio-eco-nomic woes and denial ofjustice to the people. Ithas resulted in hopeless-ness, despondency andloss of confidence in thepolitical leadership. Thefact of the matter is thatyouth feel dejected, disil-lusioned and are angry.Repressive measuresare bound to prove coun-terproductive.Hundreds of people, es-pecially youth, are lan-guishing in jails andhave been detained un-der Public Safety Act(PSA) and UnlawfulActivities PreventionAct (UAPA). In some cas-es even after court’squashing the PSA, de-tained remain in prisonas the police book themunder the UAPA. ThisUAPA is being highlymisused and it needs im-mediate review. The cas-es of those who have beendetained under the PSAand UAPA need to be ex-amined immediately.

In a veiled attack onPrime Minister NarendraModi, Congress leaderPriyanka Gandhi VadraTuesday said theMahabharata characterDuryodhana too had such ar-rogance . Addressing a pub-lic meeting here, she alsocriticised Modi for callingher late father and formerprime minister RajivGandhi BhrashtachariNumber 1 (the most cor-rupt). She dared Modi tofight the Lok Sabha electionson issues like developmentrather than divert the peo-ple's attention. This countryhas never forgiven ego andarrogance. History is wit-ness to this, theMahabharata is witness tothis, she said at the meetingin support of Kumari Selja,the Congress candidate fromAmbala. Duryodhana alsohad such arrogance. WhenLord Krishna went to make

him understand, he tried totake him captive, theCongress general secretaryin charge of eastern UttarPradesh said. She read out byHindi poet Ramdhari SinghDinkar, saying wisdom is thefirst casualty before some-one's downfall: Jab naashmanush par chhata hai,pehle vivek mar jata hai...She said if the prime minis-ter has courage he shouldfight the Lok Sabha electionson issues related to develop-ment, employment, farmersand women. He should facethe people and tell them whathe has done for them over the

past five years and what heplans to do in the future, shesaid. You are the PM, you area big leader of the BJP, youshould understand this.Otherwise the people willteach you a lesson, she said.This election is aboutachievements of the BJP-ledCentral government. But tohide their failures, they tryto divert the attention of peo-ple of country, she said.Priyanka Gandhi said thepeople of the country arewise. "You cannot misleadthe people. The people of thiscountry make every leaderanswerable and they will

make you answerable aswell, she said. She attackedModi for recently saying thatRajiv Gandhi's life ended as'Bhrashtachari Number 1'.When BJP leaders go out tocampaign, they do not talkabout issues. They do not saywhy they have not fulfilledthe promises they made, shesaid. They raise other issues.Sometimes they say the ele-phant was sleeping for 70years, sometimes they seekvotes in the name of martyrs,and at other times they insultthose from my family whosacrificed their lives, sheadded. "But they do not talkabout your needs, your prob-lems that need to be resolved,she said. These polls are notabout one family, this elec-tion is about crores of fami-lies whose hopes and aspira-tions have been completelybroken by this governmentand the prime minister, shesaid. Former Union ministerSelja is taking on the sittingBJP MP R L Kataria inAmbala.

Narendra Modi came toBengal and accused myparty of being Tolabaaz(Toll collector), I wanted togive him a tight slap ofdemocracy PM Modi hasrepeatedly accused theTMC supremo of corrup-tion and earlier said thatthe position of the primeminister cannot be boughtin an auction by the moneygained from Saradha and

HC dismiss petitionchallengingselection of ATO������� ����#++1���#4����

In bunch of petitions challenging selectionmade by respondent for the posts of AssistantTourist Officers pursuant to AdvertisementNotification No.03 of 2012 dated 28.12.2012.Justice Sanjeev Kumar dismisses the petitionswith the observations that question of eligibili-ty of two candidates Basharat Hussain, whowas selected under ALC category and AmarMaqbool who being next in order of merit isplaced in the wait list. The petitioner-ManojKumar is aggrieved of the selection of BasharatHussain and placement of Amar Maqbool in thewait list whereas Amar Maqbool assails the se-lection of respondent Basharat Hussain underALC category so that he being next in the orderof merit gets birth in the select list. It is not indispute and is, otherwise, clearly borne outfrom the record that Basharat Hussain is agraduate and therefore, fulfills the basic eligi-bility of qualification. Whether he had the ade-quate knowledge of history, geography of theState and foreign language or not, is a questionwhich cannot be determined by this Court.There was objective type written test conductedby the respondents which contained a widerange of questions good enough to test theknowledge of the candidate in the field of histo-ry, geography, foreign language and tourismand travel etc etc. The shortlisted candidateswere also subjected to viva vice, where alsothere was ample opportunity for the InterviewCommittee to test such knowledge of the candi-dates. The grievance of the petitioners that re-spondent-board could not have considered theBA qualification of respondent No.6 BasharatHussain acquired from the IGNOU through dis-tance mode is not substantiated by any materialbrought on record or through persuasion sup-ported by logic. The UGC Notifications reliedupon by the petitioners do not prohibit a candi-date from simultaneously pursuing two cours-es; one from the State Board of SchoolEducation or other from the IGNOU. The UGCNotifications and the Regulations framed bythe UGC, however, do not permit a candidate tosimultaneously pursue two degrees from thesame University or from different Universities.Admittedly, in the instant case, respondentNo.6 Basharat Hussain while he was nearingcompletion of his diploma course of State Boardof Technical Education, J&K, he took admis-sion in the degree course in Tourism from IG-NOU, New Delhi. In these circumstances, itcannot be said that the respondent No.6Basharat Hussain pursued two degree coursessimultaneously either from the sameUniversity or from two different Universities.The diploma course, which Basharat Hussainwas pursuing was from the State Board ofTechnical Education and not from anyUniversity, therefore, he was not prohibited bylaw, rules or regulations to pursue his degreecourse through distance mode from the IGNOU,New Delhi. I do not find any illegality commit-ted by the respondent- board in considering hiscandidature. Admittedly, Basharat Hussain ob-tained more points in the selection process thenthe petitioners Manoj Kumar and AmarMaqbool and therefore, placed in the select listunder ALC category. The grievance of AmarMaqbool against respondent No.6 BasharatHussain on the similar lines, is also not tenablein law. The reliance of the learned counsel forthe petitioners under Notification of IGNOU is-sued in June, 2012 is equally not tenable. Whatis permitted by the IGNOU in case of certainprogrammes/combinations is to pursue suchtwo programmes/combinations of distance andregular modes simultaneously from the sameor different Universities. Whether it is aNotification issued by the IGNOU or by theUGC it pertains only to the pursuing of two pro-grammes simultaneously from the sameUniversity or from different Universities.There was, thus, no prohibition of any kind puton pursuing the two courses simultaneouslyone from the Board and another from theUniversity. For all these reasons JusticeSanjeev Kumar observed that this Court is notpersuaded to agree with the submissions urgedby the petitioners in this behalf. JNF

In the 2018-19 fis-cal year, alcohol sales fromoutlets run by the KeralaState BeveragesCorporation (BEVCO) andConsumerfed touched arecord Rs 14,508 crores, pro-pelled largely by the liberalliquor policy of the currentLDF regime and re-openingof outlets that had beenshut down as part of a pro-hibition policy of the previ-

ous UDF government. Therise in sales of nearly Rs1570 crores over the 2017-18FY confirms a pattern ofcontinued positive growthof liquor sales in the statesince 1984-85. The grossliquor sales value in 1984-85
