I WOULD REQUEST DOCTORS TO END STRIKE
AS THEIR METHOD IS WRONG, SAYS GEHLOT
HC PULLS UP
LAWYERS OVER
ADVOCATING
AGAINST STIR
On the strike of private hospitals and doctors against the
RTH, CM Ashok Gehlot on Friday again appealed to the
protestors to end their strike. “I would request them to end the
strike as their method is wrong. Resentment is growing among
people. If the doctors are facing any problem, we will fix it. The
rules of the bills are yet to be framed their suggestions will be
incorporated.” “Our thinking is open but going on strike like
this... where will the poor patient go? Your approach is not
good,” he said. According to the Bill, every resident of the state
will have the right to emergency treatment and care “without
prepayment” at any “public health institution, health care
establishment and designated health care centres”.
Jaipur: While hearing the
public interest litigation
filed against the strike
by private doctors in the
state, a division bench
of Acting Chief Justice
MM Srivastava and
Justice Anil Upman in
the Rajasthan High Court
pulled up the lawyers.
“They are the same
lawyers, who returned to
the courts only a week
ago after one month of
the judicial boycott. The
lawyers should not advo-
cate against any strike,
as they themselves go
on strike in the name
of boycotting judicial
work,” the bench said.
Later, the High Court
issued notices to the
State Government, Indian
Medical Association, Ra-
jasthan Medical Council,
and Doctors’ Association
and sought their response
by April 11 on the matter.

TOP TWEETS
SEGREGATING
RELIGION POLITICS
DIFFICULT, SO HATE
SPEECH TO STAY
he attention which
hate speech is get-
ting from the Su-
preme Court raises
hopes of a change in
society. However, Supreme
Court’s intervention or direc-
tions alone won’t bring about a
change in mindset when any
riffraff, read fringe element, is
free to pass a comment. The will
of political parties and their
members in ensuring that their
followers abjure from using poi-
sonous barbs will play a far
more important part in control-
ling the menace. In Supreme
Court’s Justice KM Joseph’s
opinion hate speech “will stop if
politics and religion are segre-
gated”. He blamed hate speech
on State’s “impotence”.
More than “impotence” states
have their own biases depending
on which party is in power in a
particular state. The bias is
borne out of vote politics. Terms
like “appeasement” and “Hindu
pride”arefreelyusedbypolitical
parties to attack one another for
the sake of minority or majority
community’s votes. Given the
religion-driven politics of today
and earlier years the “segrega-
tion” is impossible to imagine.
T
merica is set for a
political storm af-
ter former Presi-
dent Donald
Trump’s indict-
ment over hush money pay-
ment to porn star Stormy
Daniels during his presiden-
tial campaign in 2016. He is
the first ex-president to be
indicted in America. About a
week before his indictment
onFriday
,Trumphadwarned
of “death and destruction” if
he were to face criminal
charges. The Joe Biden ad-
ministration cannot take the
warning lightly after a deadly
attack by Trump supporters
on Capitol Hill. Trump called
the unprecedented verdict
“political persecution”.
Although he could never
prove his charge of electoral
fraud, Trump continues to
insist that he won the 2020
election and the election was
rigged. It is this refusal to ac-
cept defeat that provoked
Trump to incite his support-
ers, mainly the White su-
premacists, to storm the seat
of power in a first act of its
kind in American history.
The attack happened when
the election of Joe Biden was
about to be formalised. In-
vestigators claimed that the
attack was part of a plan to
overturn the election. Five
people died in the violence
and over 100 were injured.
The loss caused to the Capi-
tol was estimated at more
than $ 2.7 million.
Reacting to the judgment
Trump said, “The Democrats
have lied, cheated and stolen
in their obsession with get-
ting Trump out.” As he
claimed innocence, the ver-
dict could not only divide
America with the right-wing
white supremacists on the
side of Trump but also influ-
ence the next presidential
election in which the former
president, a Republican, was
emerging as a front-runner.
TRUMP’S ‘STORMY’
AFFAIR NAILED
America is set for a political
storm after former
President Trump’s
indictment over hush
money payment to porn
star Stormy Daniels
during his presidential
campaign in 2016. He is the
first ex-president to be
indicted in America
A
Manhattan grand jury has
voted to indict former Presi-
dent Donald Trump. The spe-
cific state charges, reports
The New York Times, “re-
main a mystery” but will be
related to the Manhattan dis-
trict attorney’s investigation
of Trump for making hush
money payments to a porn
star just before the 2016 pres-
idential election. It’s the first
time a U.S. president or for-
mer president has been in-
dicted.
At the same time, Trump is
expected to continue his cam-
paign for the presidency
, seek-
ing to regain in 2024 the posi-
tion he lost in 2020 to Joe
Biden. What are the conse-
quences of an indictment and
potential trial for his cam-
paign and, if his effort is suc-
cessful,hisfuturepresidency?
Article II of the U.S. Con-
stitution sets forth very ex-
plicit qualifications for the
presidency: The president
must be 35 years of age, a U.S.
resident for 14 years and a
natural-born citizen.
In cases involving analo-
gous qualifications for mem-
bers of Congress, the Su-
preme Court has held that
such qualifications form a
“constitutional ceiling” –
prohibiting any additional
qualifications to be imposed
by any means.
Thus, because the Consti-
tution does not require that
the president be free from in-
dictment, conviction or pris-
on, it follows that a person
under indictment or in pris-
on may run for the office and
may even serve as president.
This is the prevailing legal
standard that would apply to
former President Trump. The
fact of his indictment and po-
tential trial is irrelevant to
his qualifications for office
under the Constitution.
Nevertheless, there seems
no question that indictment,
conviction or both – let alone
a prison sentence – would sig-
nificantly compromise a
president’s ability to func-
tion in office. And the Consti-
tution doesn’t provide an
easy answer to the problem
posed by sucha compromised
chief executive.
GOVERNING FROM JAIL?
A presidential candidate
could be indicted, prosecuted
and convicted by either state
or federal authorities. Indict-
ment for a state crime may
seem less significant than
federal charges brought by
the Department of Justice.
Ultimately, though, the
spectacle of a criminal trial
in state or federal court
would have a dramatic effect
on a presidential campaign
and on the credibility of a
president, if elected.
All defendants are pre-
sumed innocent until proved
guilty
. But in the case of con-
viction, incarceration in
state or federal prison in-
volves restrictions on liberty
that would significantly com-
promise the president’s abil-
ity to lead.
This point – that function-
ing as president would be dif-
ficult while under indictment
or after being convicted – was
made plain in a 2000 memo
written by the Department of
Justice. The memo reflected
on a 1973 Office of Legal
Counsel memo produced dur-
ing Watergate titled “Amena-
bility of the President, Vice
President and other Civil Of-
ficers to Federal Criminal
Prosecution while in Office.”
The background to the 1973
memo was that President
Richard Nixon was under in-
vestigation for his role in the
Watergate break-in and Vice
President Spiro Agnew was
under grand jury investiga-
tion for tax evasion.
FUNCTIONS AFFECTED
According to the 1973 memo,
“the President plays an un-
paralleled role in the execu-
tion of the laws, the conduct
of foreign relations, and the
defense of the Nation.”
Because these core func-
tions require meetings, com-
munications or consulta-
tions with the military, for-
eign leaders and government
officials in the U.S. and
abroad in ways that cannot
be performed while impris-
oned, constitutional law
scholar Alexander Bickel re-
marked in 1973 that “obvi-
ously the presidency cannot
be conducted from jail.”
RUNNING FROM PRISON
Yet what to do if citizens actu-
ally elect an indicted or incar-
cerated president? This is not
out of the question. At least
one incarcerated presidential
candidate, Eugene Debs, gar-
nered almost a million votes
out of a total 26.2 million cast
in the election of 1920. One
potential response is the 25th
Amendment, which enables
the president’s Cabinet to de-
clare the president “unable to
discharge the powers and du-
ties of his office.”
SOURCE: THE CONVERSATION
TRUMP INDICTMENT WON’T KEEP
HIM FROM PRESIDENTIAL RACE
BUT WILL MAKE HIS RE-ELECTION BID MUCH HARDER
A
Holmes’ statement
came in a letter
reflecting on the
Sherman Antitrust
Act, which he thought
was a foolish law.
But Holmes was
prepared to accept
the popular will
expressed through
democracy and self-
determination.
Perhaps the same
reflection is apt here:
If the people choose a
president hobbled by
criminal sanctions,
that is a form of self-
determination too.
And one for which
the Constitution has
no ready solution
It’s the first time a US President or former president
has been indicted. At the same time, Trump is
expected to continue his campaign for the
presidency, seeking to regain in 2024 the
position he lost in 2020 to Joe Biden

Shah’s gift of `56 cr worth
projects to his constituency
Ahmedabad (PTI): Un-
ion Minister Amit Shah
on Friday inaugurated
some projects and laid
foundationstonesof oth-
ers in Mansa town, part
of his Gandhinagar Lok
Sabha seat, in Gujarat
through virtual mode.
Cumulatively worth
Rs 56 crore, these pro-
jects include the reno-
vation of Chandrasar
lake, linking of other
waterbodies and filling
them with water from
the Narmada, under-
ground sewerage net-
work, a release said.
On the occasion, the
Union Home minister
also announced upgra-
dation of an existing
government hospital
in Mansa with the help
of private donors
as well as starting
a medical college
linked with this facil-
ity in the future.
“During the last five
years, the Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party government
has undertaken devel-
opmental works of
nearly Rs 1,182 crore in
Mansa Assembly con-
stituency
. This includes
construction of Mansa-
Kalol highway, which
has drastically reduced
travel time between
these two towns of
Gandhinagar district,”
Shah said in his virtual
address.
The Union Home
Minister praised CM
Bhupendra Patel and
his government for un-
dertaking renovation
work of Chandrasar
Lake and filling other
surrounding lakes with
Narmada water.

Will lodge defamation suit
against Kejriwal: Assam CM
Guwahati (Agencies):
Assam CM Himanta
Biswa Sarma dared his
Delhi counterpart
Arvind Kejriwal to call
him corrupt when the
latter is on a Guwahati
tour on Sunday
. Sarma,
on Friday, also threat-
ened to file a defamation
case against the Delhi
Chief Minister. Sarma
asserted that there is no
pending case against
him, neither before any
court in the country nor
in any agency
.
He asked, “Which
case is there against
me? I challenge Arvind
Kejriwal to show a sin-
gle case filed against
me.” Earlier, when the
Delhi Chief Minister
called Himanta Biswa
Sarma a corrupt man,
he wanted to file a defa-
mation case, but as Ke-
jriwal spoke inside the
Delhi Assembly
, accord-
ing to Sarma, he could
not file a case.
“I wanted to file a
defamation suit. But as
Arvind Kejriwal is a
coward, he spoke
against me inside the
Delhi Assembly. I chal-
lenge him to call me
corrupt on his sched-
uled Assam tour, the
next day I will file a
defamation suit against
him, like Manish Siso-
dia,” Sarma said.
“Don’t need
endorsements
from abroad”
New Delhi (PTI): A day

taking note of Rahul
Gandhi’s disqualifica-
tion from Lok Sabha,
Rajya Sabha MP Kapil
Sibal on Friday said that
“we don’t need endorse-
ments from abroad” as
“our fight is our own”.
Disagreeing with
Singh, Sibal, who quit
the Congress last year,
also asserted that “we
don’t need crutches to
walk ahead”.
Digvijaya Singh had
thanked the German
foreign ministry and
Richard Walker, Chief
International Editor of
Deutsche Welle for “tak-
ing note of how Democ-
racy is being compro-
mised in India through
the persecution of Ra-
hul Gandhi”.
PAK PEOPLE BELIEVE PARTITION WAS MISTAKE: RSS CHIEF BHAGWAT
Bhopal (PTI): RSS

lieve the partition of
India was a mistake.
He was speaking at a
function to mark birth
anniversary of teen rev-
olutionary Hemu Kala-
ni, which was attended
by Sindhis from differ-
ent parts of the country
.
“It was Bharat before
1947 (Partition). Those
who broke off from
Bharat, are they happy
still? There is pain out
there,” Bhagwat said.
However, in a reference
to the acrimonious rela-
tionship the two nations
have now, Bhagwat un-
derscored the fact that
India did not belong to a
culture that calls for at-
tacks on others.

SGPC’s protest march for
release of ‘innocent’ Sikhs
Amritsar (PTI): The
SGPC took out a proces-
sion on Friday to press
the Punjab govt to re-
lease “innocent Sikh
youths” arrested dur-
ing a police crackdown
on radical preacher
Amritpal Singh and his
outfit Waris Punjab De.
The Shiromani Gurd-
wara Parbandhak Com-
mittee, the apex gurd-
wara body, also sought
from the government to
revoke the National Se-
curityAct(NSA)slapped
against a few persons
during the police action.
Led by its chief Har-
jinder Singh Dhami,
the procession marched
from SGPC headquar-
ter to district adminis-
tration complex. The
members submitted a
memorandum to Addi-
tional Deputy Commis-
sioner Surinder Singh,
which included the de-
mand for the release of
“innocent Sikh youths”
arrested during the
crackdown.
The Punjab govt has
informed the Akal
Takht, the supreme
temporal body of Sikhs,
that almost all the peo-
ple taken into preven-
tive custody – 348 out of
360–havebeenreleased.
The Akal Takht Jathe-
dar’s personal secre-
tary Jaspal Singh said
the government has in-
formed them the rest
would be released soon.
Earlier this week,
Punjab CM Bhagwant
Mann hit out at Akal
Takht Jathedar Har-
preet Singh for “provok-
ing” people through an
ultimatum to the state
government to release
all the Sikh youths.
The Akal Jathedar
had responded that he
has the right and duty
to speak about “inno-
cent Sikh youths”. He
had also condemned the
state government for
invoking the stringent
NSA against some of
those held.
Just days before the
Jathedar’s ultimatum,
Punjab police had said
that nearly 30 people de-
tained during the crack-
down against Amritpal
were hardcore crimi-
nals and the remaining
would be released after
verification.

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: Another senior
IAS - Ujjwal Rathore of
2008 batch - retired on
March 31, from the post
of Secretary, JDA. With
this new vacancy, now a
total of one dozen posts
for senior IAS are lying
vacant in the state and
their additional charge
is being carried out by
other officers.
These posts are Secre-
tary Water Resources,
Secretary Education,
Secretary Animal Hus-
bandry
, Secretary WCD,
Secretary Plan, DG
HCM-RIPA, DG Pan-
chayati Raj Sansthan,
Registrar Cooperative
and Divisional Commis-
sioner Kota. Apart from
thi, two posts are vacant
on IAS members in Rev-
enue Board. Notably,
some of these posts are
vacant from six months
to a year! This means
that the transfer list of
IAS is overdue.
Inreality
,jumbotrans-
fer lists of IPS, IFS and
RAS were released dur-
ing the Assembly ses-
sion but the IAS transfer
list is still awaited.
There is no denying
thefactthatcomparedto
otherservices,thetrans-
fer list of IAS not only
important, but also a
troublesome work for
the DoP. Add to that the
drought of IAs officers
at senior level and as a
result the permutation
and combination to ‘fit’
seniorofficialsinimpor-
tant positions, is an add-
ed challenge. One of the
reason for this ‘drought’
isthecentraldeputation
of one dozen IAS.
It has come to light
that a Secretary of a ma-
jor and important de-
partmentcanbechanged
owing to poor perfor-
mance while another of-
ficial can be changed for
their‘overperformance’!
Such is the disgruntle-
ment against the poorly
performing Secretary
that the official has been
completely sidelined.
While the over perform-
ing Secretary has court-
ed controversy
.
About half a dozen
senior IAS do not have
workload according to
their capacity
. Word is
thattheseofficialscanbe
brought in main stream,
because there is not
enough time left to bring
CM Ashok Gehlot’s flag-
ship schemes to ground.
In such a situation, the
IAS with less workload
can be given work of
those officials who are
currently holding addi-
tional charge. Notably
,
the IAS who have less
workload as of now, are
all senior officials.
It has also come to
light RSRTC MD NAth-
mal Didel and RSMM
MD Karan Singh have
suo-moto requested for
their transfer, whereas
2005batchIAsPunam,is
currently on APO hav-
ingreturnedfromBihar.
According to sources,
the situation regarding
Collectors is not clear
as of now, as to will they
be shuffled right now or
with posting of Collec-
tors in new districts. As
such Tonk Collector
Chinmayee Gopal and
Barmer Collector Lok
Bandhu have stayed on
the position for two
years and 18 Collectors
have spent more than a
year on their current
assignment and thus, a
change is necesary due
to various reasons.
Therefore, the en-
tire IAS lobby is ea-
gerly awaiting the
transfer list.
With a dozen vacant posts, all eyes awaiting IAS transfer list!
‘REINFORCEMENT’ AWAITED

Jaipur: Congress MP
Deepender Singh Hooda
has targeted the BJP
over Lalit Modi’s state-
ment before filing a
court case against Ra-
hul Gandhi in London.
Hooda, while talking to
the media at the state
Congress HQs on Friday
said that Lalit Modi is
accused of running
away from the country
with crores. “He is a fu-
gitive sitting abroad and
speaking in favour of
the BJP and the Central
government. The Cen-
tral government should
tell whether Lalit Modi
is its agent. Why did In-
terpol’s red corner no-
tice against fugitive Me-
hul Choksi withdrawn,”
asked Hooda.
Hooda said that Lalit
Modi was on the run
and all the agencies of
thecountrywerebehind
him. “He is accused in
corruption cases. Will
the words of such a per-
son be heard in the
country now,” he asked?
He sought an answer
from the government
and asked it to clarify
why he was speaking as
their agent?
On the question of
factionalism in Raj
Cong, Hooda said that
the Congress party is
united in State and BJP
should worry about it-
self. “When state presi-
dentof BJPassumedhis
office, the way big lead-
ers kept distance from
him, it is clear that there
is factionalism in BJP,”
he pointed out.
When state
president of
BJP assumed
his office, the way big
leaders kept distance
from him, it is clear
that there is factional-
ism in BJP.

GOVT PROVED WEAK IN PUNISHING JAIPUR
BLASTS ACCUSED, SAY JOSHI, ARUN SINGH
4 ACQUITTED YET TO BE SET FREE: LAWYER
State BJP State Prez CP Joshi said that the Jaipur
serial bomb blasts accused were let off because of
weak lobbying by the state government. “The entire case
puts the govt under suspicion for gross negligence. The
acquittals show the insensitivity of the govt in this whole
matter. 71 innocent lives were lost in the bomb blasts
while hundreds of people were left. The govt should pun-
ish the accused by strong lobbying in the Supreme Court
and justice should be done to the victims,” he said. “CM
Gehlot also holds the home portfolio, yet the common
man of Rajasthan is yearning for justice. If the state govt
does not show seriousness even in punishing the ac-
cused of Jaipur blasts, what will happen to rest of cases?”
DELEGATION ALSO STUDIED AMBITIOUS
PLANS OF THE RAJASTHAN HOUSING BOARD
It is noteworthy that a delegation of 25 international rep-
resentatives from 19 countries have come to Rajasthan
under the Training Program for Overseas Profession-
als on Formal Solutions to Informal Settlements being
organized by the Ministry of External Affairs and Human
Management Settlement Institute (HSMI) New Delhi
under the ITEC course scheme. On Wednesday, the
delegation had also studied the ambitious plans of the
Board after reaching Housing Board’s headquarters.
Rajasthan Housing Board Commissioner Pawan Arora
thanked the delegation from 19 countries and also
invited them to visit Jaipur again.
The four men who were acquitted by the Rajasthan
High Court earlier this week in the 2008 Jaipur serial
blasts case are yet to be set free as a related case is
pending against them in a trial court, officials said. The
pending case pertains to the recovery of an unexploded
bomb after the serial blasts in Jaipur which had claimed
71 lives, 185 injured. Their lawyer SS Ali said a bail appli-
cation of the four will be moved in trial court on Monday.
APPOINTMENT OF LoP
IN NEXT TWO DAYS,
SAYS ARUN SINGH
Jaipur: With the begin-
ning of the election year in
Rajasthan, the BJP has come
into active mode. After the
State president, now the BJP
can soon announce the new
LoP. Raj BJP in-charge Arun
Singh said that a meeting of
party MLAs will be held in
two days in which the name
of the LoP will be announced
on the basis of the opinion
of the legislators and after
the decision of the party high
command. However, Arun
Singh has said that the party
MLAs will decide who will be
the Leader of the Opposition.
The situation in Rajasthan is
so bad that Congress minis-
ters themselves say that if the
Congress is not able to re-
cover even now, the Congress
MLAs may fit in Fortuner.
Don’t know on what basis the
CM talks about getting 156
seats. I think that Gehlot will
not be able to get 156 or even
56 seats. It will be difficult for
MLAs to sit in a car,” he said.
