People across country especially

Hindus from Pakistan,

Bangladesh and Afghanistan

along with Indian s celebrated pas-

sage of citizenship bill leave anti

Hindu political parties including

Congress red faced. However, pas-

sage of the Citizenship Amendment

Bill in the Lok Sabha brought cheers

to the Hindu migrants from Pakistan

who are living in the city and they are

now looking forward to the bill get-

ting a nod from the Rajya Sabha.

Premchand, who had shifted here

from Pakistan in 2005 and applied for

citizenship later, expressed happiness

over this development. "The govern-

ment has given a new life to us. We

express our gratitude to Union Home

Minister Amit Shah and the BJP gov-

ernment for giving us a chance to live

in India with dignity," he said,

adding that he has applied for citi-

zenship. Hindu Singh Sodha, the

president of the Seemant Lok

Sangathan, an organisation fighting

for the rights of the migrants, said

this amendment would make more

migrants eligible for citizenship.

"This amendment would make more

migrants eligible for citizenship soon-

er. People had earlier been compelled

to wait for 11 long years in this coun-

try before applying for citizenship,"

said. He said earlier the bill could not

get the nod of the Rajya Sabha. "We

look forward to the bill being passed

in the Upper House as well," Sodha

said, adding that the process of grant-

ing of citizenship also needed to be

expedited as it progressed at a snail’s

pace. Earlier, the migrants apply-

ing for citizenship were required to

have stayed in India for at least 11

years, but under the proposed legisla-

tion the required period of stay has

been reduced to six years. Another

Hindu migrant from Pakistan said

the passage of the bill was in the right

direction. "Though, six years is also

not a short period, we are still happy

that it was cut in half," he said and

expressed hope that it would save

them from the trouble of repeated

formalities and permissions that

require documents. The bill, which

seeks to provide Indian citizenship to

non-Muslim refugees coming from

Pakistan, Bangladesh and

Afghanistan after facing religious

persecution there, was passed in the

Lok Sabha a little past midnight on

Monday after a heated debate that

lasted over seven hours.

SUSHANT SAREEN

Signs that the economy

is going south have been

flashing for some years

now. But all suggestions

and criticisms regarding

the economy were greet-

ed by apparatchiks, apol-

ogists, advocates and

adherents of the ruling

dispensation by a combi-

nation of denial and

hubris.

The defence trap

That many of the crit-

ics were also beneficiar-

ies of the ancien regime

didn’t help matters.

Given their pathological

hatred for the PM

Narendra Modi-led dis-

pensation, their criticism

was seen as more politi-

cal than economic. But

many people with no axe

to grind against the Modi

government, and who

actually wanted to see it

succeed were also sound-

ing a note of caution on

the direction the econo-

my was headed.

But the stock response

was to ignore them after

accusing them of igno-

rance or prejudice or

even an agenda. The bot-

tom line is that there was

a deep aversion in the

ruling party camp to

paying any heed to bear-

ers of bad news on the

economy. However, ulti-

mately the truth will out.

Startling numbers of how

industrial production

was falling, how invento-

ries (especially in the

auto sector) were rising

and forcing companies to

close factories for days

and lay off workers,

started pouring in, cul-

minating in the distress-

ing news that growth

was down to 4.5 per cent.

To be fair to the gov-

ernment, within weeks of

the disastrous budget

presented in July, some

corrective measures were

taken, including a signif-

icant cut in corporate

taxes. But the reforms

still don’t go far enough

or deep enough.

If anything, they are

tentative and unlikely to

kickstart the economy,

much less instil confi-

dence in the productive

sections of the economy,

those who create wealth,

that they will be facilitat-

ed instead of being treat-

ed as criminals and

penalised for being suc-

cessful. Nor is there any

confidence that they

won’t be harassed by

every two-bit babu, or be

obstructed at every stage

by an extortionist

bureaucracy demanding

their rents in exchange

for letting people do

their business.

The biggest problem

for the government now

is a credibility issue. This

is partly a function of the

fact that governments

find it difficult to speak

the truth because admit-

ting failure makes for

bad politics. This then

catches the government

in a trap. The very nature

of an official’s job

demands that she

defends every action of

the government and talks

up the economy. This is

the reason why officials

continue to deny that the

economy is heading

towards a crisis and

quarter after every weak

quarter, officials keep

insisting that the slow-

down has bottomed out

and the revival of the

economy is around the

corner. The trouble is

that the loss of credibility

— the same guys first go

blue in the face denying

that the economy was

sliding, then claim that

the economy will

rebound in the next quar-

ter, which never seems to

come — ensures that

their attempts to talk up

the economy fall flat

because no one takes

what they say seriously.

Junk outdated ideas

The simple truth is that

the government just

doesn’t get the fact that

its whack-a-mole

approach to tackling the

economy’s problems isn’t

going to work. Nor will

doubling down on poli-

cies that have proven to

be failures — reviving

Air India for example —

lead to any kind of

improvement.What India

needs is sensible but

sweeping reform; what

India is getting is Soviet-

style targets for the

b u r e a u c r a c y .

Complicated and convo-

luted procedures

designed by the unimagi-

native bureaucracy only

fuel corruption and act as

a disincentive for busi-

nesses from becoming

part of the system.

Worse, they spawn extor-

tion and tax terrorism.

GST is a prime exam-

ple. The most path-break-

ing reform of the Modi

government has become

a millstone around the

neck of businesses

because of the complexi-

ties in complying with

the procedures, paper-

work and some utterly

bizarre provisions of the

GST regime.

Stimulate commerce

The really surprising

part is that PM Modi has

a pretty good under-

standing of what needs to

be done. Take out all his

speeches from the 2014

Lok Sabha election cam-

paign and it is clear he

had the right ideas on

how to take the economy

to new heights. And yet,

when it comes to imple-

mentation, many of his

flagship projects have

simply not taken off.

For instance, the ‘Make

in India’ programme has

nothing to show for it

and only a masochist

would want to ‘Make in

India’ given the sort of

obstacles and headaches

manufacturing involves

— it is so much easier to

import from China and

make a handsome profit

than undergo the torture

of making in India. The

government has of course

done reasonably well in

its social welfare projects.

It has managed to touch

the lives of hundreds of

millions of people who

until now had only

received lip service from

the politicians and the

Indian state. But the

thing is that the govern-

ment cannot sustain

these welfare projects if

its coffers are empty; but

the coffers won’t fill up

until businesses make

money, which will not

happen if profits are

treated as evil and wealth

is considered a sin, and

businessmen are seen as

criminals. Unfortunately,

the BJP government

seems to have imbibed

and internalised the

Communists’ contempt

for sensible economics.

Revive the Indian economy, don't defend it

Citizenship is the legal right tobelong to a particular country. Inother words, citizenship bestowsupon individuals membership in anational political community.Citizens enjoy civil and politicalrights in a sovereign state. Kudos toPM Modi and Home Minister Shahfor passing this historic bill in LokSabha.Our PM Modi has rightlyexpressed delight over the passageof the Citizenship (Amendment) Billin the Lok Sabha, saying the pro-posed law is in line with India's cen-tury's old ethos of assimilation andbelief in humanitarian values. It isnice that the Lok Sabha passed theBill with 311 votes in favour and 80against it a little past midnight aftera debate that lasted more than sevenhours. Shah has rightly claimed thatthe Narendra Modi government wascorrecting the failure of the pact thatJawaharlal Nehru and the thenPakistan Prime Minister Liaquat AliKhan sealed in 1950. As stated byShah, the bill had nothing to do withthe National Register of Citizens andpromised the NRC would indeed beimplemented across the country andnot a single "infiltrator" would bespared.

the permitted time period. Illegalmigrants may be imprisoned ordeported under the Foreigners Act,1946 and the Passport (Entry intoIndia) Act, 1920.

It is a step in the right directionfor all those suffered at the hands ofthese 3 countries. Government hastaken right decision of accepting therefugees particularly of Hindus who

are forcibly converted into otherreligions than Sikhs Buddhists pars-es etc. The bill aims at providingIndian citizenship to 6 minoritycommunities from Bangladesh,Pakistan and Afghanistan. The com-munities are Hindu, Christian, Sikhs,Buddhist and Jain. Currently for aperson to get Indian citizenship, heshould have resided in the countryfor 11 years. The bill intends toamend this as 6 years. Introduced onJuly 19 in the Lok Sabha, theCitizenship Amendment Bill 2016seeks to allow illegal migrants fromcertain minority communities inAfghanistan, Bangladesh andPakistan eligible for Indian citizen-ship. In other words, it amends the

Citizenship Act of 1955.According the Citizenship Act,

1955, illegal migrants can either besent to jail or back to their own coun-tries. In Assam, the protest is onrights and livelihood of ethnic com-munities on passage of the bill. Afterthe bill is passed, thousands of illegalmigrants will be deported accordingto Assam Accord. The Citizenship

Act, 1955 prohibits illegal migrantsfrom acquiring Indian citizenship.The Bill amends the Act to providethat the following minority groupswill not be treated as illegalmigrants: Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists,Jains, Parsis and Christians fromAfghanistan, Bangladesh andPakistan. However, to get this bene-fit, they must have also been exempt-ed from the Foreigners Act, 1946 andthe Passport (Entry into India) Act,1920 by the central government. Italso appeals for the minimum yearsof residency in India to apply for cit-izenship to be lessened from at least11 to six years for such migrants.

The bill is applicable to all statesand union territories of the country

and the beneficiaries of the canreside in any part of the country.According to the Citizenship(Amendment) Bill, 2019, members ofHindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsiand Christian communities, whohave come from Pakistan,Bangladesh and Afghanistan, tillDecember 31 2014, facing religiouspersecution there, will not be treated

as illegal immigrants but givenIndian citizenship.

The Union Home Minister hasalready assured full support for thestate governments in the implemen-tation of the bill. There is no doubtthat this bill will provide the right tolive with dignity to the minoritiesfrom these three countries that havesuffered religious persecution andlived a hellish life for decades. Let ussee the Bill in a positive light as itseeks to address the plight of perse-cuted minorities who had no otheroption aside from coming to Indiaillegally. The government must alsotake suitable steps to assure that therights and socio-cultural identity ofindigenous people is not affected.

"Passing of CitizensAmendment Bill 2019 bythe Lok Sabha gives reliefto three generations ofminority refugees ofPakistan, Bangladesh andAfghanistan in India. Thegovernment of Indiadeserves full kudos forbringing in legislation toamend the CitizenshipLaw in India. It is a his-toric occasion when thespirit of human rights incontext of those whoselast resort is India hasbeen upheld. All thosemigrants and refugeeswho were forced to cometo India after experiencingreligious persecution,genocide, ethnic cleansingand extermination inAfghanistan, Pakistan andBangladesh have beenprovided justice byMother India", was saidby Ashwani KumarChrungoo, BJP state

Spokesperson on KashmirAffairs.

In a statement,Chrungoo maintainedthat on the occasion of theenactment of theConvention on Preventionand Punishment of theCrime of Genocide in 1948by the UN and the suse-quent adoption of theUniversal Declaration ofHuman Rights on 10thDecember 1948, the gov-ernment of India, NDAand BJP have done a greatjustice to the worst vic-tims of religious persecu-tion, bias and apartheid ofnon-Muslim minorities inthese three countries.

Anyone and everyonewho belongs to the peopleof the Indian origin, andin particular those belong-ing to the Hindu fraterni-ty living anywhere in theworld treat India as theirmother country and incase of any difficult situa-tion, they look up to India.It is the paramount dutyof the Indian nation andthe Indian state to accom-modate all such people asthe citizens of India incase such people crave forit.

Chrungoo said, "we asa nation cannot allowHindus, Buddhists, Jains,Sikhs, Parsis to rot inBangladesh, Afghanistanand Pakistan who havebeen continuously prose-cuted in these nations and

are forced to leave theircountries. A lot of suchrefugees were forced tolive in Europe, Americaand India for a long timenow".

The issue of illegalimmigrants fromBangladesh, Myanmarand Pakistan will eventu-ally be solved with thepassage of this Bill. It is anirony that Rohangyas liv-ing in various parts ofIndia have been used asthe vote bank alongwiththe Bangladeshi illegalimmigrants by the politi-cal parties in India. Inorder to detect and deportsuch people, the CAB willbe followed by NRCwhich is being monitoredby the Apex Court.

Chrungoo also madean appeal to the Lt.Governor, administrationand the bureaucracy ofthe UT of Jammu andKashmir to advice its offi-cers and the executivestaff not to involve anyRohingya illegal immi-grants in any sort of socio-economic activity or ini-tiative at the cost of publicexchequor. All suchengagements at an officiallevel will be treated asillegal and immoral in anevent of an investigationand verification and thoseerring officials engagingthese illegal immigrantswill be held responsiblefor such an engagement.

Aam Aadmi Party, in-charge District SambaMr. Kuldeep Kumar Raoin a press statementissued here said that thePanchyat & BDC elec-tions conducted byGovernor’s administra-tion is a cruel joke withdemocracy, PanchayatiRaj Act 1989 & also theinnocent people & edu-cated youth of Jammu &Kashmir. Mr. Rao saidthat the successive stategovernments in the pastreduced the PanchayatiRaj Act as a toy in thehands of several politicalleaders who madeamendments afteramendments to thePanchahati Raj Act 1989in J&K to suit their politi-cal interests without tak-ing into account the realconcept of decentraliza-tion of powers into thehands of public represen-tatives duly elected bypublic in a democraticmanner as envisioned byfather of the Nation-M.K.Gandhi. It’s very disap-pointing that even in thePresident’s rule; the peo-ple of J&K can’t get jus-tice in the implementa-tion of 73rd amendmentof Indian constitution inToto. He said that there isno end of discriminationwith the people of J&K &also with the educatedun-employed youth ofJammu & Kashmir evenin the President’s ruleand appealed the massesto read between the linesand judge for themselvesas to what is being deliv-

ered on the ground & forwhom. Mr. Rao furthersaid & added that theseelections are in fact bigjoke with people, democ-racy and democraticinstitutions at the handsof BJP who hither-to- foreblamed NC & Congressas also PDP for destroy-ing constitutional institu-tions and now when BJPis at the helm of affairs &that too when the state isunder Presidents rule,they are repeating thesame as done by NC,Congress & PDP, therelease said and addedthat there appears no dif-ference between NC,PDP,Congress and the BJP,who have cleverly man-aged to induct theirhenchmen through back-door entry and providedthem chances to distrib-ute the booty alreadydone by erstwhile all tra-ditional Parties. Therelease further said thatpeople in general arehighly disappointed withthe manner in which gen-eral public has been keptaway from the BDC elec-tion process and it is in nocase empowerment ofPanchayats but empow-erment of their own faith-ful touts, the release fur-ther added that as a mat-ter of fact, all thesePolitical Parties do notwant real decentraliza-tions of powers includ-ing BJP who have playedgreat drama to deceivethe public & democracyas they did not wait forweeks time for UT statusto commence on 1stNovember,2019 when73rd constitutionalamendment would haveautomatically stepped in,putting a great questionmark on the date of elec-tion for BDC on 24thOctober, 2019 & not con-ducted after 1st.November,2019. Therelease further cautionedthat people are now wiseenough to see betweenthe lines and the exercisewill backfire in times tocome and the BJP will beforced to pay out of nose.

Rao further said that itis highly unfortunate thatthe poor laborers/ Jobcard holders who executeworks and the mates whoexpended their hardearned money to managethe development worksin rural areas have beenfacing hardships due tonon-clearance of theirdues near about 1000crores MGNREGA liabili-ties which exposes thereal faces of all thesePolitical Parties who allare the killers of PanchatiRaj Institutions. Apropos

to the news item pub-lished in a section ofpress titled “EmpoweringPanchyats a big initiativeof Modi government.”Mr.Rao said that con-ducting BDC election inthe state declaring onParty basis at theeleventh hour, when allopposition leaders wereunder detention & alsowithout implementationof 73rd amendment ofIndian Constitution, is infact empowering BJP &not the Panchayats, andadded that it is indirectelection and thus theChairpersons are not truerepresentatives of publicbecause the electorate forBDC elections arePanches & Sarpancheswho contested the elec-tions on non-Party basis.

Rao has appealed thepeople of J&K state irre-spective of their religionor region not to get mis-led by the statements &blame game of all thesetraditional politicalParties they all are thechips of the same block &they all are not saviour ofdemocratic Institutions orArt.370 or 35-A but all arethe real killers of theseInstitutions.

Accusing the rulingBJP of having debilitatedand weakened democracyin the country and J&K inparticular, Mr. Harsh DevSingh, Chairman-JKNPP& former Minister saidthat even institutions likePolice force were beingabused to bully and brow-beat the opposition andothers questioning thepolicies of the govern-ment. With oppositionbeing denied any space inthe political spectrum, allvoice of dissent was beingcrushed with the use ofbrute force. The funda-mental rights seemed tobrave been put undersiege in the erstwhile Statewith freedom of speechand expression made cap-tive to whims of BJP lead-ership. He was addressinga press conference inJammu today.

Strongly condemningthe Police Administrationof thwarting the Jammu

Bandh of December 7 onthe dictates of their politi-cal masters, Mr. Singhquestioned the arrests andhouse arrests of its leaderswho were exercising theirbonafide democraticrights ensured under theConstitution. Right tohold peaceful protests anddemonstrations againstgovt. policies was guaran-teed in every democraticcountry of the worldwhich seemed to have

been suspended in J&Kwithout any formal decla-ration of emergency hav-ing been issued, saidSingh. He said NPP lead-ers were not only arrestedon 6th and 7th Decemberbut its top leadership wasphysically assaulted andmanhandled by Police per-sonnel without any validreason or justification. Helamented that NPP leader-ship was further restrainedfrom even approaching the

people to seek their supportagainst the authoritarianand dictatorial moves of thegovt. in banning the inter-net services besides itsextortionist tendencies inthe form of multiple TollPlazas in Jammu and itsvicinity.

Describing the arrestand wrongful confinementof NPP leaders on 6th and7th December as illegal andunconstitutional, Mr. Singhsaid that the govt. and the

Police Department owed anexplanation to the partywhich had decided to movethe highest count againstthe subversion of the demo-cratic and constitutionalguarantees of the people ofJammu despite theirproven nationalistic cre-dentials. Cautioning thegovt. not to violate institu-tions, he said that politiciza-tion of bureaucracy andespecially Police forcecould lead to dangerousportends. Mr. Singhrevealed that only in therecent post, the PoliceDepartment had with-drawn the security of eventop opposition leaderswhile allowing at the sametime the small time andunknown workers of BJP toenjoy the luxury of Policevehicles alongwith para-phernalia of security per-sonnel by defying all sys-tems and procedures of thepast.

Former Minister andsenior Congress leaderRaman Bhalla today criti-cized the BJP Govt for notfulfilling their promiseswhich they made duringthe elections and termedthem as gimmicks to winelections. Interacting withaggrieved people of BeliCharana area of GandhiNagar constituency, Bhallaon Tuesday said that sever-al promises that BJP madeduring election turned outto be mere political gim-micks as nothing happenedon the ground.He said thatno new schemes werelaunched for the upliftment

of farmers, women and lowincomes groups of the soci-ety. For the lower incomegroups of the society, Govtfails to envision a minimumincome guarantee pro-gramme. Bhalla said gov-ernment has miserablyfailed to live up to theexpectations of the peopleand there is a strong resent-ment among the peopleagainst this government asit has not fulfilled its prom-ises made at the time ofelections. Bhalla also saidthat disillusionment of peo-ple with government isgrowing, as governance isat the lowest depth anddevelopment has takennose dive in JK UT.“Peopleare realizing the futility ofelecting a government thatis not only insensitivetowards their problems butalso responsible in addingto these on every front”, hesaid.He said Congress is theonly destination for thosewho want peace to sustainand development to remainfocused agenda of the gov-ernment in the JK. Bhallaalso said the initiativestaken in this regard byCongress governmentsespecially the previous onehas been negated by thepresent anti-people dispen-sation.

Bhalla said BJP leader-ship need introspectionover the failures in J&K,where it failed miserably infeeling the pulse of the peo-

ple and assuaging their eco-nomic, developmental andpolitical aspirations. Hesaid the BJP leaders hadexposed themselves duringtheir stint in the ministry,which cost the people huge-ly and pushed it to uncer-tainty and instability.Willthe BJP say how many edu-cated unemployed youthwere provided jobs in theirtenure; why the flagshipprojects of AIIMS and threeMedical Colleges are still onpapers; what happened toSmart City project; whyimplementation of DeenDayal Upadhyaya GramJyoti Yojana could not takeoff; why Artificial LakeProject and Tawi RiverFront Project on the patternof so-called SabarmatiProject did not materialise;why the party failed to reg-ularise the daily wagersand others despite a blue-print drawn by the previ-ous government?” Bhallafired a volley of ques-tions.He also asked as towhy the BJP governmentsat the Centre and in thestate reduced the one-timesettlement of POK refugeesto a paltry Rs 5 lakh perfamily instead of the recom-mended Rs 25 lakh per fam-ily by the Congress led gov-ernment.

While criticizing BJP,Bhalla said that agenda ofGovt is nothing but an eyewash for the people andadded BJP has taken

Jammu for granted and hasfailed to recognize thedevelopmental prioritiesand represent the aspira-tions of the people. He saidthat BJP has failed to repre-sent the sentiments anddeliver the promises itmade to the electorate andhas been merely indulgingin rhetoric to emotionallycharge the people for theirpolitical interests. He saidthat merely strongly word-ed statements would nothelp to control the situationon the ground. He request-ed Lt Governor J&K UT tofill up the vacant vacancieslying in various depart-ments on priority basis tocater to the rising problemof unemployment. He stat-ed that many projects initi-ated by previous CongressGovernment are still wait-ing for their completion forthe past 5 years as theywere totally abandoned byBJP Government. Heappealed the Lt Governorto look into the matter ofregularization of teachers,daily wagers in differentdepartments which is along pending demand andmake sure they get theirpending wages released atthe earliest. He said thepeople are now fed up withthe hollow promises of BJPand have realized thatCongress is the only optionfor country.

He said the constructionof an artificial lake and the

construction of a pathwayand parks along the bank ofthe Tawi on the pattern ofthe Sabarmati needed to bestarted on a war footing todevelop Jammu as a touristdestination. He said theBahu Fort cable car projectshould be completed at theearliest. The StateGovernment had proposeda cable car project worth Rs30 crore that aimed to con-nect the heritage sites likeBagh-e-Bahu, MubarakMandi complex,Mahamaya Temple, BaweWali Mata Temple, Peerkhoetc. These projects havepotential to highlightJammu as independenttourist destination, butunending wait for theircompletion has dashedhopes of a generation,besides bleeding theexchequer profusely, Bhallaadded.

Expressing resentmentover the stalling of mobileinternet services besidesimposing several otherunwarranted restrictions inthe peaceful districts ofJammu region, Bhallademanded Govt to restorethe same. The Govt can’tgive collective punishmentto society for the sins of ahandful of offenders. Ifthere are apprehensions ofmisuse of internet servicesby miscreants, this doesn’tmean that the entire systemshould be made to suffer.The right course would be

to apprehend the anti-nationals and give themdeterrent punishment, withfurther initiatives tostrengthen the cyber securi-ty. You can’t shutdown theinternet services every timeyou receive a report thatsome unknown people hasposted some antinationaltext on social media”,Bhalla observed. Stallingmobile internet services hasadversely impacted thenormal life as broadbandfacility was not availableeverywhere."Social andeconomic life had also beenthrown out of gear," Bhallasaid.He added that thecommunication gag hasdivested the people of theirfundamental right ofspeech and expressionguaranteed under theConstitution.Bhalla allegedthat the continuous mobileInternet ban only corrobo-rated the fact that the pres-ent government was "inca-pable of curbing the anti-national elements and theoffenders of the law" inJammu andKashmir."Instead of track-ing and apprehending thecriminals, the BJP at theCentre ordered the com-plete shutdown of theInternet services," he said,adding that the govern-ment should tighten itssecurity network ratherthan "harassing the peoplefor absurd and unjustifiablereasons".

proceedings in a

criminal defama-

tion case against

Chief Minister

Arvind Kejriwal

for re-tweeting an

allegedly defama-

tory video by

YouTuber Dhruv

Rathee in May

2018.

Justice Suresh Kait issued notice to the state and the

complainant Vikas Sankrityayan.

Kejriwal had approached the high court seeking

quashing of summons issued to him as an accused in

the case and challenged two orders of a trial court

which had refused to quash the summons against him.

A magistrate court summoned Kejriwal to appear

before it on Aug 7, after a criminal complaint by the

founder of social media page, 'I Support Narendra

Modi', alleged the AAP leader had re-tweeted the

defamatory video.

The chief minister challenged the magistrate's order

before a sessions court, which dismissed his plea.

He then challenged the sessions court order in the

high court, saying the trial court failed to appreciate

that his tweet was not intended or likely to harm the

complainant.

JAIPUR, DEC 10:Following widespreadprotest by the Jat commu-nity over “distorted” his-torical facts in AshutoshGowariker’s movie‘Panipat’ in parts ofRajasthan, many cinemahalls in the state capital ofRajasthan stopped screen-ing since Monday.

Whereas ChiefMinister Ashok Gehlotasked the Central Boardof Film Certification(CBFC) to interfere andtake cognisance of theresentment of Rajasthanpeople over the distortedportrayal of Bharatpur’sMaharaja Surajmal in themovie released lastFriday.

The screening ofPanipat was held up in 16cinema halls of Jaipur, 20in Kota, many in Bikaner,Bharatpur, and evenonline ticket booking gotdisturbed.

Politicians cuttingacross the party line andNGOs like BrahminMahasabha and Gurjrarlobby have demandedban on the movie forth-

with. On Monday, the

screening of Panipat filmwas held up at RajMandir, Cinepolix andInox theatres in Jaipur fol-lowing the huge gatheringof protesters of Jat com-munity outside before theshow began.

The Jaipur districtadministration asked thetheatres to stop screeningin view of the protests,Ashok Tanwar, managerof Raj Mandir theatre, toldreporters.

The screening willresume only after theorders, he added.

Protesters peltedstones at Inox theatrelocated at Vaishali Nagar,and glass panes of eaterieswere damaged, the policesaid, adding enoughpolicemen were deployedto avert any clash.

Rajasthan TourismMinister VishvendraSingh and MLAs WajibAli, Mukesh Bhakar andRamswaroop Gawadi ledthe protest and Bharatpurband demanding ban onthe film.

Similar protests werereported in parts ofBikaner district.

In an interaction withthe media, the chief minis-ter said the sentiments ofpeople should not be hurtand it would be better ifthe film was screenedafter people are satisfied.

Art and artists shouldbe given full honour andrespect but he should alsotake care not only of pub-lic feeling based on thecaste, religion, communi-ty and historical personal-ities and deities, Gehlotadvised.

Hence the CBFCshould interfere in it aftertaking cognisance of theseriousness of protests bya particular community,strong followers and scionof Maharaj Surajmal ofBharatpur.

The filmmaker shouldhold immediate conversa-tion with the protesterswho demanded ban on it,Gehlot added.

The film based on thethird battle of Panipatdepicted MaharajSurajmal as a greedy

ruler, according toTourism Minister Singhwho is openly supportingthe Jats’ protests againstPanipat.

This is the insult of ourancestors in movies and itwould not be tolerated,Singh warned.

As per the movie,when Maratha warriorSadashiv Rao Bhau(played by Arjun Kapoor)seeks help from Maharajato defeat the Afghans, thelatter demands Agra Fortin return for the favour.When Sadashiv refuses,the Maharja turns himaway.

“This is a wrong histor-ical fact. We demandimmediate apology by themakers and ban on themovie,” Nem SinghFaujdar, who led theprotests and burning ofeffigies of Gowariker inBharatpur, has said.

Former Chief MinisterVasundhara Raje alsoassailed the wrong por-trayal of MaharajaSurajmal and demandedimmediate correction inthe movie.

Pak must take action against terroristsoperating from its soil: EU envoy

NEW DELHI: European Union ambassador to India, Ugo

Astuto on Tuesday said that Pakistan must take action against

terrorists operating from its soil. "Pakistan must take action

against militants and terrorists operating from its soil," Astuto

said in a press conference here. India has repeatedly asked

Pakistan to take action against terrorist groups operating from

its soil. This hasn't happened but on the other hand, the archi-

tects of 26/11 Mumbai attack like Hafiz Saeed, Maulana

Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and Sufayan Zafar continue to receive

Pakistan military's patronage. Bilateral relations between the

two Asian neighbours worsened after New Delhi abrogated

Article 370 in August that gave special status to the erstwhile

state of Jammu and Kashmir. Talking about Kashmir, the

envoy said that India and Pakistan should resolve the issue

through dialogue. "Our position on Kashmir hasn't changed

since August. We have stressed a dialogue between India and

Pakistan through diplomatic channels; means of communica-

tion should be restored in Kashmir. Our position has been

consistent," he added. Expressing his views on the

Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019, Agusto said, "Principle

of equality enshrined in Indian Constitution; hope it will be

upheld." The CAB, which seeks to give citizenship to

refugees from the Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and

Zoroastrian communities fleeing religious persecution from

Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh was passed by Lok

Sabha on Monday. The cut-off date for the citizenship bill is

December 31, 2014.

Lawyers’ demands ..Bar Association and various Senior and Junior

Advocates were also present.While interacting with the members of the Bar

Association, the Advisor stated that the powers of theregistration have been vested to the Revenue Officers inthe Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in line withthe practice in the rest of the country, under the CentralRegistration Act, 1908.

“It is also a step towards having a ‘UniformRegistration System’ in the country and for integratingit with the Digitization of the Land Records and theRegistration of the transactions pertaining to the landand other immovable property in the country, he main-tained.

Jammu Bar Association projected its demands seek-ing that the office premises of Sub-Registrars of JammuCity should be clubbed and located at a place nearer tothe High Court Complex for the convenience of theLawyers, who have to attend the normal courts and getthe registration done at the respective Sub-RegistrarOffices as well.

The representatives of the Lawyers said that theseSub-Registrar offices should be located in the premisesof JDA Complex, where court of the Special Tribunal isfunctioning, and is nearer to the High Court Complex.

The Bar members also demanded that circularinstructions of the High Court, issued in the past, whenthe powers of IG Registration were vested in it, provid-ing that drafting and vetting of deeds shall be done byqualified and licensed Lawyers, be continued.

Responding to the demands, Advisor Sharmaassured that every effort will be made to provide a suit-able building for registration offices near High CourtComplex and District Courts for the convenience of thegeneral public as well as Lawyers community.

Sharma said that the building would be consideredfor housing the offices of Sub-Registrars of Jammu city,if sufficient accommodation is found available there.

About the demand of drafting and vetting, theAdvisor said it will remain with the Lawyers as is thepractice across the country. “Whenever anyone has toget any legal document like registration of sale deed ofimmovable property, will deed, partnership deed, orregistration of any testamentary and non-testamentarydocuments done under the Registration Act, these willalways go to the qualified and licensed Lawyers andthat he does not see that their role has diminished” headded.

He further said that the Government has decid-ed to appoint 26 full-time Sub-Registrars, 4 each inJammu/Srinagar city and one each at the Districts of the

remaining 18 District Headquarters.The FC further emphasized that Lawyers’ communi-

ty has a very important role in ensuring correct andproper registration of various deeds. He assured theLawyers that they shall continue to play role in the reg-istration process as they were doing earlier.

He, however, allayed the apprehension of theLawyers that their practice would be affected with theintroduction of new system.

The FC said that no such copy of Circular instruc-tions has yet been provided to the Government by theBar Association, which may be provided and that itshall be duly considered by the Government in light ofthe provisions and norms of the Registration Act.

The Advisor appealed the members of Jammu BarAssociation to call off their strike in the interest of peo-ple, who are suffering due to the strike. He assured thatthe government shall make sincere efforts to addresstheir genuine concerns and hoped that the Bar wouldcall off strike and trust the government for implemen-tation of the assurances and move forward on the issueto ensure transparent, efficient and modern registrationsystem in the UT of J&K in which the lawyers will haveto play a significant and important role.

DB dismiss...houses, shops etc."A Division Bench of Jammu & Kashmir High Court

Jammu Wing Comprising Chief Justice Gita Mittal andJustice Rajesh Bindal did not find any merit in the peiti-ton and dismissed the same.

While dismissing the application, DB observed thatconduct of the applicants needs to be deprecated. It isnothing else but forum shopping or bench hunting. Iftheir conduct is seen and what transpired during courseof the hearing of the earlier CM No.4961/2019, earlierwrit petition WP(C) No.2834/2019 and subsequentlyduring the course of hearing of the present application,it is seen that though applications and the writ petitionsare filed by selective persons, who are some of the resi-dents, however, most of the residents of the area arepresent in person in Court.

21. Noticing the facts further, it is evident that CMNo. 4961/2019 was filed by 26 residents of the areapraying that either they be allowed to be impleaded asparty respondents in the public interest litigation orthey may be allowed to intervene to safeguard theirinterest. When the applicants were not able to persuadethe Court to pass any order in their application, writpetition bearing WP(C) No. 2834/2019 came to be filedduring pendency of the aforesaid application. Theaforesaid writ petition was filed by 14 residents, out ofwhich two parties were common. The writ petition wasfiled with the prayer that notice issued directing thepetitioners to vacate the land in their possession be setaside and direction be issued to the official respondentsto rehabilitate the petitioners therein by providing themplots. It was nothing else but bench hunting.

DB further observed that the PIL No. 35/2018was listed before the Division Bench whereas the afore-said writ petition was to be listed before the SingleBench, as per roster. When the matter was listed beforethe Single Bench on July 30, 2019, the following orderwas passed "The issue with regard to the extension ofJammu Airport is a subject matter, which is pendingbefore the Division Bench of this Court in PIL No.35/2018. Therefore, it will be appropriate to list thismatter alognwith the aforesaid PIL. Registry is directedto do the needful.'" Thereafter, the aforesaid writ peti-tion was also taken up alongwith PIL No. 35/2018.During the pendency of the aforesaid writ petition, interms of the offer made by the administration, plotswere allotted to all the outstees in the draw of lots heldin their presence. They were handed over possessionthereof. They had undertaken to handover vacant phys-ical possession of the area to the authorities concernedon or before 20.11.2019. At the time of passing of theaforesaid order on September 20, 2019, CM No.4961/2019 filed by some of the residents was also dis-posed of. Thereafter, two writ petitions bearing WP(C)Nos. 4201/2019 and 4202/2019 came to be filed. Thesewere listed before the Single Bench (Rajesh Bindal-J) on18.11.2019. Some of the petitioners, who appeared inperson, when were not able to convince the Court toissue notice or grant any interim relief, sought adjourn-ment on the ground that their counsel was not avail-able. The writ petitions were adjourned to 30.12.2019.

DB further observed that when the residents ofthe area were not able to get any relief in the aforesaidtwo writ petitions, which were listed before the Singlebench, the present application has been filed by theapplicants who are already before this Court as peti-tioners in WP(C) No. 4201/2019. The prayer made inthe application is substantially the same as was made inthe writ petition. It was stated in para 16 of applicationthat with the same very prayer WP(C) Nos. 4201/2019& 4202/2019 has already been filed which was listedbefore the Single Bench presided over by one of us(Rajesh Bindal-J) on 18.11.2019, however, due suspen-sion of work by the members of the Bar, the petitionersappeared in person, however, interim stay was notgranted to them and the writ petitions were adjournedto December 30, 2019. . The fact remains that thesame very counsel, who had filed the writ petitions andmentioned the reason of his non-appearance on the datewhen the writ petitions were taken up, as suspension ofwork by members of the Bar, appeared before theDivision Bench on November 20 & 21, 2019 when theresolution of the Bar was still in force. Strikes by theadvocates has been strongly deprecated by the SupremeCourt of India time and again. The idea of filing presentapplication in the petition which was filed in publicinterest was merely to somehow or the other to get aninterim order from the Court. This aspect of the mattercould be immediately noticed only as one of us (RajeshBindal-J) was also presiding over the Single Benchbefore whom the writ petitions were listed and happensto be a member of the Division Bench as well. The ideaof filing the present application is nothing else but aneffort of bench hunting.

DB further observed that as far as the merits of theapplication is concerned, what the applicants haveprayed for in the application filed is a substantive reliefinvoking the provisions of Section 24(2) of the 2013 Actpraying that the acquisition of the land owned by themhas lapsed. It is not a writ petition filed by the appli-cants. Rather the main writ petition has been filed inpublic interest where infrastructure facilities for the air-port at Jammu are sought to be upgraded. In fact, for thesame relief the applicants have filed writ petitions asnoticed above, which are still pending. Such an applica-tion filed in the public interest litigation is totally mis-conceived, hence deserves to be dismissed. DB furtherobserved that the contention raised by the learnedcounsel for the applicants on the merit of the controver-sy is also prima facie misconceived, though we are notrecording any final opinion on the issue. Section 24(2) ofthe 2013 Act only talks about acquisition under theLand Acquisition Act, 1894 and not the State LandAcquisition Act, Svt. 1990. The contention of the coun-sel for the applicants to rewrite the legislation byParliament may be misconceived and dismissed thesame.

DC Rajouri ...Rajouri GMC Associated Hospital.

The team was comprising of Additional DeputyCommissioner Rajouri, Sher Singh, AssistantCommissioner Revenue, Mohammad Ashraf andDeputy Director Planning Bilal Mir.

All the officers were disguised as attendants of

patients with no escort and supporting staff. The secretinspection lasted for three hours during which inspec-tion team checked several sections including patientsregister, testing equipment, ECG room, dialysis unit,wards and washrooms. The officers also interacted withthe patients to enquire about the facilities being provid-ed to them.

During inspection, it was also ascertained that someofficials were absent from duty and whereas some otherofficials were impersonating duties in place of thosementioned in roaster.

Taking a note of such callous attitude, DC orderedsuspension of Dr. Raiz Ahmed posted in SNCU and twostaff nurses namely Umaira Rashid and BalkeesKhanum. Explanation have been served to MedicalSuperintendent for poor work culture of the hospital.

168-hr-long AJKPC...block-level protests across Jammu and Kashmir

from December 20 to December 30.On the last day of hunger strike, the Director Rural

Development Department (RDD) Jammu, SudershanKumar visited the site of hunger strike and listened tothe various demands of AJKPC members.

During the interaction, the Director said that it wasbeyond his competence to fulfill all major demandsbeing raised by the AJKPC and he would take up thematter with higher authorities. Agitated over the help-lessness expressed by the Director RDD, the protestingSarpanches marched towards the busy Tawi bridge toblock the traffic.

The Sarpanches had a scuffle with the large contin-gent of police personnel who tried to stop them frommarching towards Tawi bridge. In the process, thepolice personnel detained over 300 Sarpanches andshifted them to District Police Lines (DPL). Later, theywere released from the police custody on surety bonds.

Earlier, senior Sarpanches from various parts of J&Koffered juice to the Panchayat members, includingAJKPC president Anil Sharma and Jitender Singh, toend their 168-hour-long hunger strike.

While addressing the protesting Sarpanches, Sharmaaccused the Union government of only paying lip serv-ice to Panchayat members without bothering about realissues confronting them.

He said that J&K administration and the Union gov-ernment have no concerns for rural masses as theyfailed to clear Rs 1,000-crore MGNREGA liabilitiesdespite repeated requests. He demanded that theCentre should immediately clear all liabilities underMGNREGA scheme and fulfill other genuine demandsof Sarpanches and Panches in J&K without any delay.

He also demanded adequate security cover toPanchayat leaders and enhancement of their monthlyhonorarium to a respectable and reasonable amount.

The AJKPC senior leader while announcing the sec-ond phase of agitation and said, “the Sarpanches andPanches would hold block level protests fromDecember 20 to December 30 to bring J&K administra-tion and the Central government out of deep slumber.Our Sarpanches and Panches would submit memoran-dums to their respective Deputy Commissioners fromJanuary 2 to January 12, 2020”.“Even if the governmentfails to resolve the genuine issues of rural masses andelected Panchayat members, we will gherao the CivilSecretariat in the month of March. Our struggle willcontinue till rural masses and Panchayat members getjustice,” the AJKPC leader said.

59 terrorists ...to a starred question in the House, Reddy said regu-

lar attempts of infiltration by terrorists through the LoCin Jammu and Kashmir sponsored and supported fromacross the border are being made.

“84 such attempts have been made from across theborder and it is estimated that 59 such terrorists couldhave infiltrated,” he said.

As many as 22,557 militants have been neutralised inincidents of terrorist violence by security forces tillDecember 1 this year, 1011 terrorists killed, 42 appre-hended and 2253 pushed back from 2005 till October 21,2019 due to efficient vigil of security forces, he said.

Infiltration attempts are part of proxy war agenda ofadversary to replenish the depleted terrorist strength inthe valley to achieve its intention to ratchet up violencein Jammu and Kashmir, Reddy said.

Corruption in...only cleaning with water and moping and only the

area around the main complexes needs to be faceliftedperiodically.

Shrine Board has appointed an influential Retd.Chief Engineer on the monthly emolument of Rs. 1.75Lakh, who sits at Jammu Rail Head office and never vis-its the sites where works are in progress. His back doorentry was confirmed arbitrarily by the erstwhilebureaucrat to whom he had helped in organizing andby bearing cost of family functions. An attempt is madein this publication to identify the problem areas of cor-ruption in the holy organization having faith of billionsof worshipers. Hope that the new CEO will bring somechanges and will tight the noose on sources of corrup-tion in the Shrine Board.
