Maha likely
to challenge
Rana couple’s
bail for flouting
release terms
Mumbai: The Maha-
rashtra government is
likely to file a Con-
tempt of Court plea
against MP Navneet
Rana and MLA Ravi
Rana, who were re-
cently granted bail in
a sedition case, for vio-
lation of the bail order
conditions.
The Public Prosecu-
tor is likely to file a
Contempt of Court
plea against the Rana
couple citing violation
of one bail condition.
The court had said,
“Accused shall not ad-
dress the press on any
subjects related to the
Hanuman Chalisa re-
cital case.”
Despite this condi-
tion in the bail order,
MP Navneet Rana
spoke to the media after
stepping out of the Lila-
wati Hospital. She said,
“I challenge Uddhav
Thackeray to contest
elections from any con-
stituency and I will con-
test against you and
show you what woman
power is.”
Value of vote of MPs may go down
to 700 from 708 in President’s poll,
courtesy no JK legislative assembly
New Delhi (PTI): The
value of the vote of a
Member of Parliament
is likely to go down to
700 from 708 in the pres-
idential polls scheduled
in July due to the ab-
sence of a legislative as-
sembly in Jammu and
Kashmir, officials said
on Saturday. The value
of the vote of an MP in
a presidential election
is based on the number
of elected members in
legislative assemblies
of states and union ter-
ritories, including Del-
hi, Puducherry and
Jammu and Kashmir.
The Electoral College
for the presidential elec-
tion comprises the
members of Lok Sabha,
Rajya Sabha and those
of the legislative assem-
blies of states and union
territories including
Delhi, Puducherry and
Jammu and Kashmir.
Before it was bifurcated
into two union territo-
ries of Ladakh, and JK
in August 2019, the erst-
while state of JK had
83 assembly seats.
According to the
Jammu and Kashmir
Reorganisation Act, the
Union Territory of JK
will have a legislative
assembly, while Ladakh
will be governed direct-
ly by the Centre.

60 dead after school bombed in Ukraine
Luhansk: As many as
60 people were feared to
have been killed in the
Russian bombing of a
village school in the
eastern Ukrainian re-
gion of Luhansk, the
regional governor said
on Sunday
.
Governor Serhiy
Gaidai said Russian
forces dropped a bomb
on Saturday afternoon
on the school in Bilo-
horivka where about 90
people were sheltering,
causing a fire that en-
gulfed the building.
“The fire was extin-
guished after nearly
four hours, then the
rubble was cleared,
and, unfortunately, the
bodies of two people
were found,” Gaidai
wrote on the Telegram
messaging app.
“Thirty people were
evacuated from the rub-
ble, seven of whom
were injured. Sixty peo-
ple were likely to have
died under the rubble
of buildings.”
Reuters could not im-
mediately verify the re-
port. Ukraine and its
Western allies have ac-
cused Russian forces of
targeting civilians in
the war, which Moscow
denies.
Officials said Russia dropped bomb where 90 people were sheltering
Thirty people were evacuated from the rubble.

liked decided to marry
someone else.
He came to the park-
ing area of the building.

JAHANGIRPURI VIOLENCE: COURT BLASTS DELHI POLICE
‘COPS ACCOMPANIED
ILLEGAL PROCESSION’
...THEIR COMPLICITY NEEDS TO BE PROBED: DELHI COURT
Noting there was an “utter failure” on part of the Delhi Police in stopping a Hanuman Jayanti
procession held without permission at Jahangirpuri in northwest Delhi last month, a Rohini court
has said that the issue “seems to have been simply brushed aside” by the senior police officers
New Delhi: The bail of
eight people allegedly
involved in the recent
communal clashes at
Delhi’s Jahangirpuri
has been rejected by a
local court, which said
the accused are well-
known local criminals
and their release may
intimidate witnesses.
The judge also repri-
manded the Delhi Po-
lice for not stopping the
illegal procession and
demanded that the po-
lice chief investigate
the matter and fix ac-
countability among the
officers involved.
Twenty people were
arrested over the vio-
lence in the northwest
Delhi locality that took
place during a Ram Na-
vami procession last
month, in which eight
policemen and a civil-
ian were injured. It was
found later that the pro-
cession took place
without police permis-
sion and the alterca-
tion with members of
the minority commu-
nity took place in pres-
ence of the police.
Instead of stopping
the illegal procession
and dispersing the
crowd, the police offic-
ers were seen accompa-
nying it on the route,
the court said.
“It prima facie re-
flects the utter failure
on the part of local po-
lice in stopping the said
procession having no
permission,” he said,
adding that the matter
seems to have been
brushed aside by sen-
ior officers.
Dependra Pathak, a
senior officer of the
Delhi police, had ex-
plained the presence of
the force during the
procession, saying, “It
is the responsibility of
Police to maintain law
and order”.
Security deployment remained heavy days after the clashes at Jahangirpuri.
The contents of the FIR itself show that the
local staff of police station Jahangirpuri,
led by Inspector Rajiv Ranjan as well
as other officials... were accompanying the said
illegal procession —Rohini Court Judge

First India Bureau
Jaipur: A 23-year-old
Muslim woman from
Jaipur has alleged that
Rohit Joshi, the son of
Rajasthan Minister Ma-
hesh Joshi, raped her on
multiple occasions over
a year, following which
the Delhi Police has reg-
istered a zero FIR, offi-
cials said on Sunday
. A
senior Delhi Police of-
ficer said the Rajasthan
Police has been intimat-
edabouttheFIRandwill
further investigate the
matter. The case was
registered on May 8 at a
police station in North
District under sections
376, 328, 312, 366, 377 and
506 of the Indian Penal
Code. Interestingly, a
‘powerfulinvisibleforce’
is also being reportedly
‘involved’ in it, and it is
said that this ‘force’ has
a role in pursuing this
matter for political rea-
sons. Meanwhile, a
‘Damage Control Exer-
cise’ has started on so-
cial media in favour of
minister’s son as an af-
fidavit has gone viral on
social media. In the affi-
davit, the girl is said to
have a relationship with
mutual consent and ac-
cording to the affidavit,
either the relationship
has deteriorated or if
their thoughts do not
match in future or if ei-
ther of them wants to
part ways on mutual
consent, then the duo
can separate. Thus now
this case has been con-
verted into one of mu-
tual consent. Although
First India does not con-
firm the authenticity of
the viral affidavit.
Meanwhile, the BJP
alsotookadigatMahesh
Joshi over the matter
and tweeted on the mat-
ter saying that the Con-
gress which stresses on
‘I am a girl, I can fight’,
has a minister in Shanti
Dhariwal who pro-
claims rapists as ‘Mard’
(Real Men), whereas
min Mahesh Joshi’s son
carries on Dhariwal’s
word further and proves
himself tobea‘Mard’by
raping a woman.

probe would make it
clear who were behind
these incidents.
“What happened in
Jodhpur on Monday

spirit. Now the question
is who were these per-

Barmer: A transgender
has had the fortune of
becoming a mother to
not just one or two chil-
dren, but to 150 daugh-
ters! This may sound
surprising but Leela,
has extended support to
150 girls who were aban-
doned by their parents
and has adopted them
as her own.
With the adoption of
these daughters, she
has provided financial
support for their mar-
riage as well. About
thirty years ago, Leela
adopted a girl of a poor
family living in a near-
by settlement and got
her married. After this,
wherever she heard
about the daughter of a
poor house in the entire
district including Ba-
lotra city, she would
meet her and take all
the responsibility of
girl herself and provide
financial support to her.
This is the reason
why married daughters
come to ‘Pehar’ (Leela’s
home) even today, be-
fore going to their pa-
rental homes and seek
her blessings.

Bharatpur: BJP MP
Ranjeeta Koli was
stopped at Guwahati
Airport while she was
there to board a flight to
Delhi after attending
some events there. Her
luggage was already
kept in the flight, but
she was stopped from
boarding the flight. The
airport authorities told
her that someone else
had bought her seat at
which Koli was quite
miffed and lodged her
protest with the author-
ities. Koli said she
would also lodge a for-
mal complaint as to
who could her seat be
given to someone else.
The MP said she was to
attend some important
meeting in Delhi and
was to board a Go First
flight. Koli’s iPhone had
also gone missing a few
days ago and it was
found packed in her lug-
gage.
The MP and Lok Sab-
ha secretary Deepak
Kumar accompanying
her created a ruckus for
about an hour. When
they introduced them-
selves to the airport au-
thority
, then authorities
booked two seats in the
Indigo flight.

NEED FOR EXTRA
VIGIL IN VIEW OF
PRO-KHALISTAN
ACTIVITY IN HP
ro-Khalistan ele-
ments are beginning
to raise their heads
in Punjab and also in
Himachal Pradesh
must be the reason for central
agencies to go on the alert. In the
latest incident the Himachal
Pradesh Assembly was draped
in the Khalistani flag. A Khal-
istani flag was also hoisted at the
gate of the Assembly complex at
Dharamshala. The Assembly’s
walls were painted with pro-
Khalistangraffiti.TheHimachal
police suspect the involvement
of tourists from Punjab.
Over a week ago members of
Shiv Sena (Bal Thackeray)
clashed with a group which pro-
tested against Sena taking out
an anti-Khalistan rally in Pun-
jab’s Patiala district. Patiala has
seen a mushrooming of right
wing Hindu groups after Opera-
tion Blue Star in 1984.
The Himachal Pradesh inci-
dent happened despite an intel-
ligence alert following a letter
from the Sikhs for Justice or-
ganisation which said that it
will hoist the flag on March 29.
Heavy security foiled SFJ’s
plans that day. The state now
needs to be extra vigilant.
P
he fifth National
Family Health
Survey 2019-21
found that the to-
tal fertility rate
(Total Fertility Rate) among
Muslims has sharply de-
clined from 2.62 to 2.36 be-
tween the latest survey and
NFHS 4 (2015-16). This should
silence those who ratcheted
fear of Hindus getting out-
numbered by Muslims in the
near future. The claims were
without substance but the
propaganda from rooftops
convinced many a gullible
Hindu. The propagandists,
mainly seers and some BJP
leaders, have raised the spec-
tre of rising Muslim popula-
tion to carry forward their
religious agenda although
official data did not corrobo-
rate those claims. Using so-
cial media platforms to
spread the message of hate
and genocide, as was done in
Haridwar and later in Delhi,
prepares the ground for tar-
geting the minority commu-
nity. One BJP MLA saw a
conspiracy by Muslims to
one day occupy “the chair of
President, prime minister
and chief ministers”. That
the fear of Muslim popula-
tion rising is fallacious is
proved by NFHS 5.
The 2011 census showed
that Muslims constituted
14.22 percent of the popula-
tion after a gain of 0.8 per-
cent over the 2001 Census. In
comparison, the share of
Hindus in the country’s pop-
ulation fell by 0.7 percent. It
is this data that was respon-
sible for the debate on Mus-
lim population in the coun-
try. The NFHS 5 shows that
the decline in Muslim TFR by
46.5 percent was higher than
the Hindus whose TFR fell by
41.2 percent.
The good news is that as
India’s population growth is
slowing down with women
across all religions produc-
ing fewer children, the coun-
try’s population is set to fall.

n organization is a set of peo-
ple that work for specific ob-
jectives, it is the employee
that run it. The future of any
organization depends on the
type of people who work
there. Proper and well
planned men’s groups for
work is called Talent Manage-
ment. The fate of the organi-
zation depends on the skill set
of the people working in the
organization. If a person
with a correct skill set takes
the organization in the right
direction, then the organiza-
tion and employees are opti-
mally developed. Sometimes
it happens that the turnover
of the company increases,
but the system and talent
management practice in the
company is negligible and
there is a time when the com-
pany is likely to fall from its
employees’ salaries and other
expenses. The companies
who can organize their hu-
man resource in proper way
have a strong foundation.
Recently, the world’s lead-
ing company E Y surveyed
on the company’s Talent
Management and how they
can grow by organizing it in
correct way. In this survey,
the world’s top 600 officials
took part. These officials
came out with beautiful
things in the discussion. The
organization which will give
more freedom to the employ-
ees to work will grow more
than others. The officials fur-
ther stated that every organi-
zation should develop meth-
od or systems so that each
employee can work with
their own responsibility
. Eve-
ry employee must know ex-
actly what type of work they
are doing and how they want
to contribute to the company
at the end of the year. Also
the organization which does
not give freedom to its em-
ployees for decision making
does not grow very quickly
.
The second thing in this
survey that came out was
that a very few companies
are involved in talent man-
agement related programs or
investments and due to this
reason the company’s growth
in manufacturing is less. As
a result, there are lot of peo-
ple in the organization but
the lack of proper planning
does not benefit the organiza-
tion very much. Only 10% of
the companies have a scheme
to give opportunities to its
present employees rather
than appointing new people.
Doing this gives new oppor-
tunities to the employees
working from a long time
who have contributed more
in the development of the or-
ganization.
More than 54% of the offi-
cials said in this survey that
just 43% of companies have a
strong pipeline to create fu-
ture leadership talent and
38% of the companies have
the eligibility metrics for se-
lecting their organization’s
leadership candidates. Few
companies focus on skill ori-
ented leaders. Only 26% of
companies have met the crite-
ria to select effective leaders
for their organization. Due to
these stats we now come to
know that how much a com-
pany is serious in talent man-
agement and acquisition.
Studying in depth knowl-
edge of talent management,
we get an indication that em-
ployees can give a very im-
portant contribution in the
growth of a company
. Taking
from the workforce planning,
making right choice in em-
ployees and till the employee
come on board the company
has to properly induct them
about the organization, their
role-based responsibility has
to be decided and efforts need
to be made continuously to
make them contribute to the
company. If this whole sys-
tem is not done with a good
work plan then a person will
only be recruited in the com-
pany but will not make any
special contribution. It the
company wants to develop
than the company has to un-
derstand the flow and follow
it accordingly
.
Talent Management is an
important factor playing in
the organization’s growth. If
you want to develop an or-
ganization, then you have to
develop employees.
TIPS FOR TALENT
MANAGEMENT....

z If the employees consider
themselves as partners to the
company, and that kind of
environment is developed than
the company is certainly going
to develop, grow and make
more profits. The company’s
management has to make
certain efforts to create such
an environment.

z Every employee working in
the company has to contribute
in the development of their
organization. You and your
company will grow in partner-
ship if you contribute well in
the company’s growth.

z Organizations must have vari-
ous programs related to Talent
Management. These programs
should be more dependent on
employee’s contribution to the
organization.

z Changing the mental attitude
of employees has become
very important in today’s
environment. Regular training
programs should be organized
periodically.

z The leaders working in the or-
ganization has great responsi-
bilities. It’s the leader who has
to make sure that he and his
team give maximum contribu-
tion to the organization.

Reacting to the inci-
dent, Chief Minister
Jai Ram Thakur said it
was very unfortunate
that Khalistan flags
were tied outside Vid-
han Sabha complex at
Dharamsala. He said a
case has been regis-
tered and police au-

rected to nab the cul-
prits as soon as possi-
ble. The Chief Minister
said the miscreants
would be exposed
soon,” said the CM.
“After police investi-
gation it would be clear
who were behind this
mischief. The offend-
ers would be dealt
strictly,” he added.
Kangra SP Khushal
Sharma said the inci-
dent might have hap-
pened in the late night
or early morning on
Sunday. “We have re-
moved the Khalistani
flags from Vidhan Sab-
ha gate. We are invest-
ing and have registered
a case,” he added.
As the issue gathered
steam and invited po-
litical reactions, an SIT
was directed to probe
the incident.

Kumar, who works for
the IAS officer and her
husband. Kumar is in
the custody of ED for
five days.

received “huge” cash
deposits — to the tune
of Rs 1.43 crore — over
and above her salary in
their accounts, during
the period she faced
charges of irregulari-
ties while being posted
as the DM of various
districts in the state,
the ED has said.

PMLA court in Ranchi
that the IAS officer al-
legedly transferred Rs
16.57 lakh from her
“personal account” to
those controlled or
owned by her CA Su-
man Kumar.
Kumar was arrested
on Saturday for al-
leged money launder-
ing in a case linked to
alleged fraud of MGN-
REGA money.

tack on the Punjab

Kolkata/Bhubane-
swar: Cyclone Asani,
which has formed over
the southeast Bay of
Bengal, further intensi-
fied into a severe cy-
clonic storm on Sunday
evening as it moved
northwestwards in the
direction of north
Andhra Pradesh-Odis-
ha coasts, the Met de-
partment said.
The severe cyclone,
on reaching west-cen-
tral and adjoining
northwest Bay of Ben-
gal off north Andhra
Pradesh-Odisha coasts
on Tuesday, is very like-
ly to recurve north-
northeast wards and
move towards north-
west Bay of Bengal off
Odisha coast, it said.
The severe cyclonic
storm is very likely to
lose some steam there-
after and turn into a
cyclonic storm on
Wednesday and further
into a deep depression
on Thursday, the Met
department said in its
forecast of Asani’s
track and intensity
.
Stating that the sys-
tem will not make land-
fall either in Odisha or
Andhra Pradesh, India
Meteorological Depart-
ment (IMD) Director-
General Mrutunjay Mo-
haptra said the cyclone
will move parallel to the
east coast and cause
rainfall from Tuesday
evening.Odisha’s Spe-
cial Relief Commission-
er (SRC) PK Jena said
the state government
has made adequate ar-
rangement for rescue
operations.
“We do not see any
big danger in the state
as the system will pass
around 100 kilometer
off the coast near Puri,”
he said. However, res-
cue teams of NDRF,
ODRAF and Fire Ser-
vices are on standby for
any eventuality
, he said.

New Delhi (PTI):
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi is now the
template for what it
means and takes to be a
“national leader”, Un-
ion Home Minister
Amit Shah has said, as-
serting that the label
was earlier handed out
to even politicians of no
proven merit and only
capable of winning
election from one or two
safe Lok Sabha seats.
While national lead-
ers were identified in
the immediate after-
math of the independ-
ence movement by their
“name recall” across
regions because of
their participation in
the freedom struggle, in
the latter decades, nota-
bly at the height of the
coalition era, the ex-
pression came to be
much abused, he said,
adding that Delhi media
generously distributed
the status to its “friends
and favourites”.
Writing in the book
“Modi@20 Dreams
MeetDelivery”,brought
out by Rupa Publica-
tions and to be launched
on May 11, Shah said
such “facile and insin-
cere manufacturing of
national leaders” was
shown up for what it
was after Modi led the
BJP to its biggest Lok
Sabha win in 2014 be-
fore repeating the feat
with a bigger margin in
2019.
A confidant of the
Prime Minister for over
three decades, Shah
wrote that the best
teacher for a leader is
“travelling to ordinary
places, meeting ordi-
nary families, sharing
ordinary experiences,
and doing all this by or-
dinary means.”
“Narendra Modi has
done so with greater
frequency and perse-
verance than any poli-
tician in the past 75
years,” he said, adding
that before the 2014 and
the 2019 polls, there
had been “no mandate
for hope; and no man-
date that was simply a
reward for tested per-
formance”.
Amit Shah said par-
ties and Prime Minis-
ters won majorities be-
tween 1952 and 1984 on
the basis of the good-
will of the freedom
movement, family lega-
cy, anger against the
incumbent (1977), a mix
of fear and sympathy
(1984) with appease-
ment, sectional preju-
dice, vote bank mobili-
sation and empty slo-
ganeering like ‘Garibi
Hatao’ of 1971.
Everybody now rec-
ognises that the 2014
polls marked the most
decisive shift in the his-
tory of Indian politics,
Amit Shah wrote.

Ashvini Yadav
Alwar : The 15-year-old
son of a drug dealer
was kidnapped by mis-
creants for ransom.
Police have arrested
the main accused of
kidnapping and murder
Harsh Kumar Mishra
alias Lucky of Gadis-
wairam village.
The miscreants kept
sending the ransom
message of Rs 6 lakh on
the number mentioned
on the signboard of the
shop. However, as the
businessman switched
to another number, he
couldn’t receive the
message. With no re-
sponse from the busi-
nessman, the kidnap-
pers killed the teenager
and buried the body in
the ground. The inci-
dent happened on Fri-
day evening in Gadis-
wairam village of Raj-
garh in the district.
Keshav alias Akku, the
only son of drug deal-
er Gardhan Sain, had
left the shop at 5 pm on
Friday for his house. It
is alleged that the mis-
creants kidnapped
him from the middle
of the way.

According to the police, the miscreants sent a
message to the number written on the shop
signboard demanding a ransom of Rs 6 lakh. The
number on which the miscreants were sending
messages assuming it was the number of Gordhan
Sain, was changed sometime back by the drug
dealer. The number was deactivated and allotted to
some other person in Dausa.

COAL SHORTAGE LEADS TO POWER CRISIS IN RAJ

Shivendra Parmar
Jaipur: In the ongoing
RAS versus ACB dis-
pute, now the Rajasthan
Police Service Council
has forayed into the
matter as on Sunday,
Rajasthan Police Ser-
vice Council President
Raghuveer Saini issued
a statement and said,
“Like RAS Bhagchand
Badhal, RPS Narottam
Verma is also an honest
officer. There is no
doubt regarding Verma
being a responsible of-
ficer, as he is an honest
and an excellent offic-
er.” adding, “The Ra-
jasthan Police Service
Council is unhappy
with Verma’s transfer
by single order. If his
name came in the mass
transfer list, it would
have been better. It is
very important for the
state premier services
to be disciplined and re-
sponsible.
“Any kind of mutual
conflict arrangement in
state services, society is
not in the interest of
the state at all. Better
service results are pos-
sible only with mutual
co-ordination. Leaving
aside personal ego, eve-
ryone has to continue
positive efforts in the
right direction in over-
all interest,” he said.
In the world of commercial
consumerism, the customer is the
true boss and everyone in a
company has to understand his tastes.

Jaipur: A Central Gov-
ernment’s letter for-
warded to Chief Secre-
tary Usha Sharma has
made the state bureau-
cracy a ‘worrisome’
lot. The letter has been
forwarded, as it is, to
all the ACS, Principal
Secretaries, Divisional
Commissioners, Col-
lectors and Heads of
Department ‘for infor-
mation and necessary
action’. The language
and contents of the
letter have ‘warned’
the state bureaucrats
not to indulge in
wrongful activities.
The letter has been
shot by the Govern-
ment of India’s Fi-
nance Secretary, TV
Somanathan. The let-
ter reads that the Cen-
tral government “per-
mits borrowings under
Article 293 of Constitu-
tion of India to State
Governments. Also re-
leases funds under
various centrally spon-
sored schemes and the
recommendations of
Finance Commission.”
According to the let-
ter, Centre, for its
aforementioned ac-
tions, relies on infor-
mation given by the
states, which are certi-
fied by concerned offic-
ers. However, it has
been seen that in sev-
eral matters, the state
governments have giv-
en wrong information
which has been certi-
fied by competent offic-
ers in the states, which
amounts to ‘falsifica-
tion’ or ‘gross negli-
gence’ on the officer’s
part.
The Finance Secre-
tary has said that the
“wrong information
led to heavy over-bor-
rowing by a state dur-
ing the tenure of a sub-
sequent government,
causing difficulties.”
According to the letter,
it is mentioned in the
All India Services Con-
duct Rules that “Civil
Servants are responsi-
ble to tender proper
and factual advice and
are requested to sign
certificates and pro-
vide information truth-
fully and correctly.”
The IAS officers
have been informed in
the letter that “If falsi-
fication of financial
information or provi-
sion of wrong informa-
tion in a grossly negli-
gent manner is detect-
ed” then the Finance
Ministry can take the
following action
against the officers:
* Names of such offic-
ers will be sent to
DoPT so that their
name is not consid-
ered for empanel-
ment, central depu-
tation, inter-state
deputation, foreign
training, assign-
ment, etc.
* The matter may also
be taken up with the
state government to
initiate disciplinary
proceedings in such
cases.
According to subject
experts, the Central
Government is look-
ing to curtail the state
government’s ‘whims’
in financial manage-
ment and also to issue
a ‘clear warning’ to
IAS officers not to in-
dulge in wrong activi-
ties to appease their
‘masters’. It is perhaps
for the first time that
such a letter, issuing a
warning, in recent
times, has been shot
from the Centre and
therefore, the higher
bureaucracy is a wor-
ried lot.

Gehlot called upon Gov-
ernor Kalraj Mishra at

in Jodhpur and Karau-
li, saying that strict ac-
tion should be taken
against the culprits.
While discussing the
issues related to the in-
cident during the dia-
logue, Governor Mishra
said that such arrange-
ments for law and secu-
rity in the state should
be ensured at all levels
so that such untoward
incidents do not recur
elsewhere.
Besides, issues like
the deployment of Vice-
Chancellor in Skill Uni-
versity and Act amend-
ment, skill development
of youth etc. were also
discussed during the
hour-long meeting.
The appointments to
the posts of Registrar in
the universities of the
state, preparations re-
lated to organising the
National Science Con-
gress in Rajasthan etc.
were also discussed
during this period.

From P1…
Therefore, it is the duty
of the government to
respect their senti-
ments.”
The Chief Minister
said that a cow holds im-
portant position in In-
dian culture. “The
thoughts of Lord Shri
Krishna and Father of
the Nation Mahatma
Gandhi towards cow are
well known. Those who
do cow service are re-
spected by the entire
society
. People associat-
ed with cow service al-
ways walk on the path
of truth and non-vio-
lence,” he said. Earlier,
the CM performed bo-
vine worship by feeding
jaggery to the cows at
the Gaushala.
Gehlot said that the
teachings of the Father
of the Nation Mahatma
Gandhi are very rele-
vant in the present con-
text.
Gehlot again raised
the issue surrounding
current communal
clime in the nation and
said, “Everyone knows
the situation of the
country today. It is a
matter of concern. I am
proud of my religion,
we are proud of our re-
spective religions, but
we need to respect oth-
er’s religions too. Ram
temple stone was being
sent from Bharatpur
and due to the forest de-
partment, there were
problems in quarrying
and transportation of
the stones. The mem-
bers of Vishva Hindu
Parishad came to me
and told me the prob-
lem, so we removed the
bottlenecks of the For-
est Department after
which they came to
thank me.”
The Chief Minister
further added, “A mes-
sage was sent to Mohan
Bhagwat to stop the vio-
lence. I said one thing
when the people of RSS
came to meet me, that
the violence that is hap-
pening in the country,
try to stop it. I told the
same thing to the PM
that violence should not
be tolerated under any
circumstances and he
should instruct all
Chief Ministers not to
tolerate violence.”
Remembering his
earlier stint as CM, Ge-
hlot said, “When I be-
came the CM 24 years
ago, there was a famine
in the state. Atal Bihari
ji’s government was at
the Centre and I went to
the central government
for help. In Rajasthan,
Vasundhara Raje used
to say that the Chief
Minister of Rajasthan
is begging for wheat and
fodder on the streets of
Delhi. But I gave the an-
swer even then that if I
have to beg for the peo-
ple of the state, then I
will do so. Even today if
I have to ask for some-
thing for the betterment
of the people of the
state, I will still ask for
it.”
Gopalan Minister
Pramod Jain ‘Bhaya’
said that after discuss-
ing with the Gopalkas,
the CM has taken im-
portant decisions for
cow welfare. He has al-
ways worked in this re-
gard, Bhaya said. Chair-
man of Rajasthan Gau
Seva Aayog Mevaram
Jain said that the gov-
ernment is committed
for effective operation
of Gaushala and conser-
vation of bovines.
