Raipur: Amid political jostling in the ruling Congress in Chhattisgarh, six party
MLAs left the state capital for Delhi on Friday. Among MLAs seen at the Chhattis-
garh airport were Shishupal Sori, Santram Netam, Kismat Lal, Ram Kumar Yadav,
Kawasi Lakhma and KK Dhruv. Santram Netam said that he was going to Delhi
for “personal reason” and the presence of other MLAs at the airport was merely a
coincidence. He added that any meeting with senior party leaders will be a part of
the routine they follow when they visit the national capital.
Punjab is land of punj
(five) aab (water). It is
made up of five rivers.
Similarly, Chhattisgarh has
derived its name from ‘chhattis’
(thirty six) ‘garh’ (fort). No other
states have numbers in their
names. There is no other similarity
between the two states.

PM MODI SLAMS OPPOSITION
OVER FARM REFORMS CRITICISM
New Delhi: Accusing
the opposition of “intel-
lectual dishonesty” and
“political deceit” over its
criticism of his govern-

PM Narendra Modi says
tough and big decisions
need to be taken to bring
benefits to citizens who
should have received
them decades ago.
Stoutly defending the
agri laws during an in-
terview, Modi said it is
one thing if a political
party makes a promise
and is unable to deliver
on it but what is a “par-
ticularly undesirable”
and “detestable” trait is
some of these parties
made promises on the
lines of the reforms en-
actedbyhisgovernment
and have now done a U-
turn and spread “the
most malicious kind of
misinformation on the
promises they them-
selves had made”.

UNREALISTIC
CUTOFFS IN DU WILL
SHATTER MANY A
STUDENTS’ DREAM
utoffs in Delhi Uni-
versity Colleges for
u n d e r g r a d u a t e
courses have risen to
unrealistically high
levels. The 98 and 99 percent cut-
offs of pre-Covid years are his-
tory as DU colleges, at least
seven of them, have a cutoff of
100 percent. For another 94 pro-
grammes in various colleges is
fixed at 99 percent.
This has made getting admis-
sions even in programmes like
journalism beyond a large num-
ber of students. Some of the DU
colleges like SRCC, Hindu Col-
lege, Hansraj and LSR always
had high cutoffs but they have
been raised further because of
liberal marking by the CBSE
and some state boards.
Over 9,200 students with 100
percent marks sought admis-
sions in DU colleges making it
obvious that hundreds of others
with 99 percent will be wonder-
ing if the exam system has been
a little unfair to them as they
will be pushed by the glut of 100
percent. Even those with 100
percent marks may not be lucky
to get a college of their choice.
C
ustralia will be

Prime Minister
Scott Morrison to-

on international travel will be
lifted some time next month.
Returning Australian citi-
zens and permanent resi-
dents will be able to quaran-
tine at home for seven days if
fully vaccinated with a TGA-
approved vaccine.
The recognised vaccines
include those already ap-
proved for use in Australia by
Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moder-
na and Johnson and John-
son/Janssen, as well as Sino-
vac and Covishield (Cov-
ishield is AstraZeneca’s vac-
cine made in India).
Unvaccinatedreturneeswill
still need to enter managed ho-
tel quarantine for 14 days until

Those who can’t be vacci-
nated, including young chil-
dren and those with a medi-
cal exemption, will be count-
ed as vaccinated for travel.
Arrival caps will also be
abolished for fully vaccinat-
ed returnees.
Today’s announcement is
one big step towards allowing
vaccinated Australians to re-
turn home soon, as we move to
a future that somewhat resem-

A
BJP HAS NO EFFECTIVE
OPPOSITION TO FACE!
For me the past week has
been one of despair and
disgust. The Bhartiya
Janata Party must be in
a joyous mood. It has no
worthwhile or affective
Opposition to face. This
is not a comforting
development for our
democracy
am writing this on Mahatma
Gandhi’s one hundredth and
fifty second birth anniversa-
ry
. Had he been alive today, he
would probably have commit-
ted suicide seeing the present
state of the Congress party.
Three individuals have all
but made the Congress non-
functional. I doubt if any
member of the so called High
Command has read Gandhi’s
“The Story of My Experi-
ments with Truth.”
For me the past week has
been one of despair and dis-
gust. The Bhartiya Janata
Party must be in a joyous
mood. It has no worthwhile or
effective Opposition to face.
This is not a comforting devel-
opment for our democracy
.
To divert my mind from the
prevailing political muck, I
am re-reading DG Ten-
dulkar’s volume two of his
biography of the Mahatma. It
was published in 1951.
Gandhiji was arrested on
10th March 1922 at the Sabar-
mati Ashram.
The offence was his writ-
ing three articles in “Young
India” of which he was edi-
tor. His trail began on Satur-
day, March 18, before Mr
Broomfield, ICS, the District
and Sessions Judge,
Ahmedabad.
The charges were read out.
Gandhiji said, “I plead guilty
of all charges.”
Judge: Mr Gandhi, do you
wish to make a statement.
Gandhi: I would like to
make a statement.
Judge: Could you give me
in writing to put it on record.?
Gandhi: I shall give it as
soon as I finish reading it.
Before reading his written
statement he spoke ex-tempo-
re. I quote para two : “I want-
ed to avoid violence. Non-vio-
lence is the first article of my
faith. It is also the last article
of my creed. I had either to
submit to a system which I
considered had done irrepa-
rable harm to my country or
incur the risk of the mad
furry of my people bursting
forth. I know that my people
have sometimes gone mad. I
am deeply sorry for it and I
am, therefore, here to submit
not to a light penalty, but to
the highest penalty. I do not
ask for mercy. I do not plead
any extenuating act. I am
here, therefore, to invite and
cheerfully submit to the high-
est penalty that can be inflict-
ed upon me for what in law is
a deliberate crime, and what
appears to me to be the high-
est duty of a citizen. The only
course open to you the judge,
is, as I am going to say in my
statement, either to resign
your post or inflict on me the
severest penalty if you be-
lieve that the system and law
you are assisting to adminis-
ter are good for the people. I
do not expect that kind of
conversion. But by the time I
have finished with my state-
ment you will perhaps have a
what is raging within my
breast to run this modest risk
which a sane men can run.”
Judge Broomfield, before
he gave his verdict conducted
himself in an un British man-
ner, “Mr Gandhi, you have
made my task easy in one
way by pleading guilty to the
charge. Nevertheless, what
remains, namely, the deter-
mination of a just sentence,
is perhaps as difficult a prop-
osition as a judge in this
country could have to face.
The law is no respecter of
persons. Nevertheless it will
be impossible to ignore the
fact that you are in a different
category from any person. I
have ever tried or am likely to
have to try
. It would be impos-
sible to ignore the fact that in
the eyes of millions of your
countrymen, you are a great
patriot and a great leader.
Even those who differ from
you in politics look upon you
as a man of high ideals and of
noble and of even saintly
life….. it is my duty to judge
you as a man subject to
law…..”
Judge Broomfield recalled
the 6 year sentence passed
against Bal Gangadhar Tilak.
He gave Gandhiji also a six
year sentence. He concluded
in these large hearted words,
“And I should like to say in do-
ing so that if the course of
events in India should make
it possible for the Govern-
ment to reduce the period and
release you, no one will be bet-
ter pleased than I.”
Gandhiji replied Broom-
field courtesy “……so far as
the whole proceedings are
concerned, I must say I could
not have expected greater
courtesy
.”

THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL

Judge Broomfield gave

words, “And I should

New Delhi: Indiareport-
ed $101.89 billion in ex-
ports in the quarter end-
ingSeptember,theminis-
try of commerce and in-
dustry said on Saturday
.
This is the first time that
Indian exports have

The government has set
a target of $400 billion
for the financial year.

record of nearly $23 bil-
lion in September, and
the overall trade deficit
in the year so far now
stands at 78.81 billion,
almost 207% higher
than a year ago, but still
11.4% below 2019 levels.
“With the surge in im-

HOPEFULLY NAMES RECOMMENDED
BY COLLEGIUM BE CLEARED ‘VERY SOON’: CJI
New Delhi: Chief Jus-
tice of India NV Rama-
na on Saturday pressed
for early clearance of
the names recommend-
ed by the collegium for
appointment as judges
in the higher judiciary
,
saying he seeking the
government’s coopera-
tion and support to fa-
cilitate equal access to
justice and to strength-
en democracy
.
Justice Ramana,
who has been actively
recommending names
for appointment of
judges in the higher ju-
diciary after assuming
charge as the CJI on
April 24, said the colle-
gium has recommend-
ed 106 names for high
court judges since May
and clearing them
would take care of pen-
dency of cases to some
extent.
Speaking at an event
in New Delhi, the CJI
also noted that the Cov-
id-19 pandemic has “ex-
posed some deep-root-
ed problems” in the ju-
diciary and under-
scored the need to en-
sure equal access to
justice, especially to
vulnerable sections.
“My companion judges
and I have attempted to
enable litigants to get
faster justice. I want to
state that, since May
onwards, my team so
far has recommended
the appointment of 106
Judges and nine new
Chief Justices to vari-
ous High Courts. The
government has
cleared seven names
out of the 106 judges
and one out of the nine
for chief justices, so far.
I expect that the gov-
ernment will clear the
rest of the names very
soon. These appoint-
ments will take care of
pendency to some ex-
tent. I seek the coopera-
tion and support of the
Government to enable
access to justice and to
strengthen democra-
cy
,” he said.
The Chief Justice of
India, who is also the
Patron-in-chief of the
National Legal Servic-
es Authority, was
speaking at the launch
of the six-week-long
‘The Pan India Legal
Awareness and Out-
reach Campaign’ by
NALSA at Vigyan
Bhavan that was inau-
gurated by President

the occasion of Mahat-
ma Gandhi’s birth an-
niversary

For a healthy democ-
racy, a vibrant judici-
ary is essential. Covid
has created many prob-
lems for many institu-
tions including judici-
ary. Thousands of cas-
es have accumulated in
different fora. —PTI

New Delhi: Congress
has lost one RS seat
from TN due to its own
internal squabble. Then
the question is what
will it do in Bihar and
Jharkhand? In
Jharkhand, two seats
are falling vacant next
year and both the seats
belong to the BJP. Un-
ion ministers Mukhtar
Abbas Naqvi and Ma-
hesh Poddar will retire
next year. Out of this,
one seat will go to the
ruling coalition i.e.
JMM-Congress.
Congress can claim
this seat because last
year i.e. in 2020 elec-
tions, the seat with coa-
lition quota went to
JMM’s account and
party’s founder Shibu
Soren was sent to the
Upper House. So, this
time it is the turn of
Congress with 18 MLAs,
however, JMM is not go-
ing to give up this seat
easily. Dhiraj Sahu of
Congress is about to re-
tire in the next biennial
election i.e. 2024, and
JMM will try to grab the
seat, by promising to
give Sahu’s seat back to
Congress in 2024, how-
ever, if Congress puts
pressure, it can get one
seat next year.
On the other hand,
elections for five RS
seats will be held in Bi-
har next year. Out of
this, one seat belongs to
Sharad Yadav, which is
vacant for the last sev-
eral years, but due to the
ongoingcourtdisputein
the Delhi HC, poll was
not held on it. JDU-BJP
have 126 and RJD-Con-
gress have 110 MLAs in
Bihar Assembly
. If you
add five MLAs of Asa-
duddin Owaisi to this,
then the number be-
comes 115. As per As-
sembly maths, 41 votes
are needed to win seat.
In this sense, JDU alli-
ance will get three seats
and Congress-RJD will
secure two seats. If RJD-
Cong fields 3rd candi-
date, then there can be
heavy horse-trading.
Cong has 19 MLAs in
the state and can claim
one seat. However, there
is also the difficulty that
RJD can promise to give
one seat to Cong in the
next biennial election, ie
2024, when polls for 6
seatsaretobeheld.RJD’s
Misa Bharti is retiring
next year and is likely to
be given tickets again.
Congress can pressurize
for another seat. JD(U)
leader and Union min
RCPSinghandBJP’sGN
Singh SC Dubey are
retiring and next time
alsoJDUwillgetoneand
BJP will get two seats.
What will Cong do in
Bihar Jharkhand?
Cong can get
one seat each
both in Bihar
and Jharkhand
in the biennial
elections of the
RS to be held
next year

Will Kanhaiya save Congress?
Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: Former
Congress president Ra-
hul Gandhi, did well by
not attending the press
conference along with
Kanhaiya Kumar, for-
mer CPI leader and for-
mer JNU Students’ Un-
ion president. How
strange it would have
seemed if Kanhaiya Ku-
mar had claimed in
front of him that he was
joining the party to save
the Congress! It is so be-
cause Kanhaiya said
this in many articulate
ways in the press con-
ference that he would
save the Congress and
interesting enough he
said this in presence of
Congress General Sec-
retary KC Venugopal.
Kanhaiya was asked
why he is joining Con-
gress, to which he said,
“I am joining Congress
because I feel that one
ideology is destroying
the values, culture, his-
tory and future of this
country. …Crores of
youth are feeling that
the country will not be
saved if Congress is not
saved.”
When asked for the
second time, Kanhaiya
said, “Congress party
is like a big ship, if it is
saved then I think it is
due to the aspirations
of many people, the
ideological openness of
Gandhi, the courage of
Bhagat Singh and the
similarity of Bhimrao
Ambedkar. The idea
will also be saved, so I
am joining Cong.”
Usually a leader on
joining Congress or
joining any party says
that he is influenced by
the ideology of that
party or is influenced
by leadership of that
party, hence is joining
the said party
. But Kan-
haiya did not say this
even once. He has re-
peatedly indicated that
Cong is dying out and it
is necessary to save it,
so he is joining it.
Congress did not
like Kanhaiya’s
mannerisms, a
leader had said
that Kanhaiya
should forget his
revolutionary
take and ideas

sembly Abdulla Shahid

tries across world.
Covishield, which has
been developed by Brit-
ish-Swedish pharma-
ceutical company Astra-
Zeneca, is manufac-
tured in India by Pune-
based SII. He was re-
sponding to a question
on whether any Covid
vaccine should be rec-
ognised and considered
or ones that have been
validated by the WHO
or any other group. —PTI
On vaccines,
that’s a very
technical question
you have asked me. I got
Covishield from India, I’ve
got the two doses. I don’t
know how many countries
would say that Covishield
is acceptable or not.

ceived by the party’s

“village-driven” and

ment, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi said
that it aims not only at

ble to the people but is
also a big movement of

His remarks came at
an interaction with
Gram Panchayats and
Pani Samitis or VWSC
on Jal Jeevan Mission
today through video
conferencing.
Speaking on the occa-
sion, PM Modi said,
“This is a village-driven

movement. Its main
base is a mass move-
ment and public par-
ticipation. On the Jal
Jeevan Mission app,
every detail regarding

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who
also virtually launched the Rash-

the water quality monitoring and
surveillance via the Jal Jeevan Mission
App will help maintain the water quality
across the nation. Pani Samitis play a
key role in implementation of village
water supply systems, thereby provid-
ing clean tap water to every household.
I am happy that on
this day, people from
lakhs of villages
across the country are con-
ducting Jal Jeevan Samvad
through ‘Gram Sabhas’. Jal
Jeevan Mission is not only to
make water accessible to the

POLITICS OF
STATUES
There was a time
when politics was
consideredtobethewor-
ship of a living man but
thinkingandthestyleof
politics has changed
with the course of time.
Now the ideals of politi-
cians have become stat-
ues. This past week, a
controversy erupted af-
ter the removal of the
word ‘Gurjar’ from the
stone plaque in front of
the statue of Gurjar em-
peror Mihir Bhoj in ‘Mi-
hir Bhoj Balika Degree
College’ of Greater Noi-
da. The BJP has been
considering the Gurjar
community as its tradi-
tional vote bank in UP,
even in the recent past
(before this controver-
sy), the internal survey
of the BJP was indicat-
ingthat69percentof the
Gurjarvoters areinsup-
port of the BJP
.
The community had
hoped that CM of the
state would announce
some big assistance for
this college during his
visit to the college. Yogi
came, but no announce-
ment was made.
What do the living
communities want to
provebyintroducinglife
consecrating their lives
in stone idols? The po-
liticalpartiesengagedin
the efforts to glorify the
representation of the
caste-communityshould
take a lesson from Raja
Mahendra Pratap.
CAPTAIN’S
TECHNICAL
ALLIANCE
Former Punjab CM
Capt Amarinder
Singh may cause lots of
trouble for Congress by
forming his new politi-
cal party though efforts
are still on to persuade
him by the Congress. So-
nia Gandhi personally
likes the Captain so she
gave him a lot of time.
Initially, a committee
headed by Mallikarjun
Kharge was formed,
then another committee
was formed and after
that, the report of state
in-charge Harish Rawat
came. Sensing the grav-
ity of the matter, Singh
offered his resignation
to party’s working presi-
dent Sonia Gandhi. But
Sonia, as per the estab-
lished traditions, want-
ed the outgoing CM to
propose the name of the
new CM. In ‘PK’ report,
there was a stress on
making a Dalit CM so
Sonia Gandhi consid-
ered the name of a sen-
ior Dalit leader from
Punjab, Shamsher Sin-
gh Dullo. Apart from the
state president, Dullo
has been number two in
Beant Singh’s cabinet.
However, Rahul wanted
one of the MLAs to be-
cometheChief Minister
and that too a Dalit.
Therefore, Charanjit
SinghChannigottheop-
portunity
.
The Gandhi family
was already apprehen-
sive about Sidhu and
wanted him to be kept in
a limit. Sources said that
Captain’s main annoy-
ance was about Sidhu. It
is also said that Captain
in a meeting with Na-
tional Security Advisor
Ajit Doval has handed
over a dossier which has
seriousrevelationsabout
Sidhu’s love for Pakistan
andhisrelationshipwith
Pak PM, Imran Khan. At
the same time, Sidhu’s
men are openly raising
questions about the rela-
tionship between Cap-
tain and Pakistani jour-
nalist Arusha Alam.
Amarinder Singh may
form a regional political
party
. Since he has very
good ties with the BJP
and his close confidant
Manish Tewari is well
connected with the Aam
Aadmi Party
, it is being
speculatedthatCaptain’s
proposed party may not
contest strongly on all
the 117 seats in Punjab,
particularly on the seats
whereBJPorAAPcandi-
datesareinastrongposi-
tion. He may support
both the parties on such
seats.
MALINI IN RAJYA
SABHA?
The fame of Pad-
mashree awardee
folk singer Malini
Awasthi, the wife of UP
CM’s most trusted offic-
er and principal secre-
tary Avnish Awasthi, is
now crossing the bound-
aries of UP. Malini
claims that in 2005, she
wasbarredfromsinging
a Bhajan on state-run
Doordarshan only be-
cause the Bhajan con-
tained that Lord Rama
was born in Ayodhya.
So, now Yogi wants to
send this folk singer to
the upper house from
nominated category
. For
this, he has also request-
ed the PM. On the other
hand, some senior lead-
ers of Sangh and BJP
believe that in the up-
coming assembly elec-
tions, BJP should field
Malini from Sahibabad
assembly constituency
.
TAKING EVERYONE
ALONG!
PM Modi believes in
maintaining a rea-
sonable distance from
the media and he has
also instructed his min-
isters to do so. However,
Union Minister for Road
Transport and High-
ways Nitin Gadkari
brokealltherecordsthis
time and reached Kash-
mir with a team of some
250journaliststoinspect

penses of the team was
allegedly borne by the
company which is in-
volved in the construc-
tion work of the Zojila
Tunnel.Itissaidthatthe

than Rs. 2 crore on the

nalists yet the journal-

But by then, the journal-
ists were so tired that
half of themreturnedto

the journalists reached

food arrangement for
200 persons but the

LET’S PLAY WITH
HISTORY
Anewly published
book of historian
Raghavendra Tanwar
titled ‘The Story of In-
dia’s Partition’ tells
what the ‘Badshah’ of
Delhi and his followers
want to hear. There is a
lot of effort in this book
to show the real face of
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
and Jawahar Lal Nehru.
Giving voice to the in-
tentions of the present
government, this book
raises the question why
there are talks only
aboutthefreedommove-
ment but not about par-
tition, in which lakhs of
innocent people lost
their lives. The content
of the book also asks as
to whether Nehru was
greedy for power and
henceheagreedtoparti-
tion the country? This
right-wing tendency to
rewrite history and to
giveanewperspectiveto
historicfactscanbecrit-
icized and it can also be
called an exercise to de-
fame Nehru.
SHIVPAL’S SAFFRON
LOVE
In UP assembly polls
in 2017, Shivpal had
spoiled the game of his
nephew Akhilesh on
many seats and BJP had
won on these seats. This
time, Akhilesh is deter-
mined that he not let his
uncle ruin things so he
has offered 7 seats to
Shivpal from SP quota.
But Shivpal is not agree-
ing to less than 30 seats.
The Yogi government is
also very kind to Shiv-
pal. The ministerial
bungalow of a large size
allottedtoShivpalisstill
occupied by him. Even
all of his works are done
in the Yogi government,
what else does Shivpal
need?
