Dausa: After the death
of a woman during
childbirth, a female
doctor of a private hos-
pital died by hanging in

against the doctor who
got depressed.

Jalore: State BJP Pres-
ident Satish Poonia
said that the needle of
suspicion in the REET
scam points to the Con-
gress-led government
in the state only. The
Special Operations
Group (SOG) is only
“catching small fish,
letting the crocodiles
off the hook”. Hence, to
instill confidence in
people’s mind, an im-
partial probe is the
need of the hour, he
added.
Addressing the me-
dia during his tour to
the city on Tuesday,
Poonia reiterated his
demand for a CBI probe
into the episode. React-
ing to his Congress
counterpart’s remarks,
he sought to know that
if the ruling party lead-
ers and their people in
the government aren’t
involved, why are they
afraid of a CBI probe?
The BJP veteran point-
ed out that at 32.3%,
Rajasthan has the high-
est unemployment rate
in the country. At the
same time, industrial
houses are not inclined
to invest in state as the
law and order situation
is in shambles here.

the situation there that Colombo
has desperately sought another

ture of the seriousness of the
crisis in Lanka where the econo-
my is virtually at a standstill
with no tourists and little tea ex-
port. With just two factors driv-
ing its economy
, Sri Lanka found

The impact of this is being felt
by the people of Sri Lanka who

Colombo is lucky to have a

S
he demand to bar
Muslim traders
from Hindu tem-
ple sites in Udupi
and Shivamogga
in Karnataka is an extension
of the ban on wearing of hi-
jab by students. The appeal
asking Hindus to not buy
stuff from Muslims has, ob-
viously, come from right-
wing hard liners like the
Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Ba-
jrang Dal, Shri Rama Sene
and Hindu Jagarana Vedike.
It is strange that Muslim ven-
dors who must have been
running their businesses in
the vicinity of temples for
years are suddenly being
seen as threats and untouch-
ables. There is no plausible
reason other than Islamopho-
bia for this bigoted appeal.
These divisive forces are
not confined to the two Kar-
nataka districts. Sadiq Ali, a
tailor who stitched clothes
for Ram Lalla, the presiding
deity at the makeshift tem-
ple in Ayodhya for several
years, was replaced by a dif-
ferent tailor a few years ago.
In fact, lanes in Ayodhya are
the best examples of com-
munal harmony. Ironically,
his shop was located on land
belonging to Hanuman
Garhi temple.
Two Karnataka BJP lead-
ers have openly opposed the
idea oust Muslim traders
from the area. “This is all
madness. No God or religion
preaches these kinds of
things. Religions are inclu-
sive and not exclusive,” said
AH Vishwanath, an MLC. An-
otherBJPleader,AnilBenake,
an MLA who represents the
Muslim-dominated Belagavi
North constituency, also
voicedhisdissenttothemove.
It is wrong to say that people
should purchase from some
stores and not from others,
Benake said. “We will not im-
pose restrictions,” he empha-
sised. It is worrisome how
there is a gradual build-up of
an anti-Muslim sentiment.
DON’T DIVIDE TRADE
ON RELIGIOUS LINES
It is strange that Muslim
vendors who must have
been running their businesses
in the vicinity of temples
for years are suddenly
being seen as threats
and untouchables. There
is no plausible reason
other than Islamophobia for
this bigoted appeal
T
he House is on the boil. On
Monday afternoon, chaotic
scenes were witnessed in the
West Bengal Assembly as leg-
islators of the ruling Trina-
mool Congress and the Oppo-
sitionBJPcametoblowsafter
the BJP demanded that CM
Mamata Banerjee address the
House over the state’s law and
order situation.
Leader of Opposition,
BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari and
four other BJP legislators
have been suspended by the
Speaker following the ruck-
us. “The Opposition had de-
manded a discussion over
law and order and the gov-
ernment declined. They
brought Kolkata police per-
sonnel in civil dress to clash
with our MLAs,” Adhikari
later told the media.
The Birbhum killings were
the triggering factor. For al-
most five decades now and
since the Sixties, the land
which has nurtured culture
and tradition has been haunt-
ed by tremendous political
upheavals and turbulent
times. Who scored over whom
is certainly not a point to be
pondered upon, but that the
stateisrockedbytheseviolent
incidentshasbeenamatterof
huge concern and shame and
there seems to be no light at
the end of the tunnel.
Meanwhile, in Bogtui vil-
lage… the numbness is still
very much there. The palpa-
ble shock and trauma among
those living in the vicinity
hang heavy
. The rustle of
dried leaves makes you wary
that you have visited a crema-
torium or a burial ground of
sorts where the dead lay… but
not in peace. The stench of
burnt flesh is still in the air,
you may feel nauseating with
the very thought that around
8 people were roasted alive!
The area is deserted…
Most of those, whose nearest
ones were charred to death,
have fled to “safer” vistas.
Even shops and kiosks near
the “Killer Spot” have
downed their shutters. Dur-
ing the day, some manage to
huddle and discuss the conse-
quences of that horrible
night when “factional feud
within the ruling party” ini-
tiated the dance of death!
Outsiders are looked upon
suspiciously
. An eerie silence
is deafening and people hail-
ing from outside get those
looks! Often cries of women
who have lost their family
members rent the air. After
sunset,theentirevillagelooks
like a haunted ground and it
seemsthatthespiritsarelurk-

Even as at least 54 police-
menhavebeendeployedonthe
spot in two shifts, villagers are
not confident of returning
home. Some may visit their
homesduringtheday
,butpack
up well before sunset. What is
happening in the land of
Tagore? Bogtui is only 62 km
from Santiniketan, the abode
of peace that Rabindranath
Tagore had built so much love
and affection. Also, Nanoor,
where 11 landless peasants
were killed in 2000, is even
closer to this abode of peace—
just about 20 km!

The recent tragedy (in Bog-
tui) looks like an intra-TMC
clash over the loot from the
illegal stone and sand trade.
In this column I would like
to chronicle in short… the
dance of death that has
wrought havoc to our Sonar
Bangla. Naxalism was
crushed following violence
after the Congress won the
state Assembly polls in 1972.
However, till date… the
chronicled figure of the toll
has never been disclosed.
Governments have come
and gone but violence has
been constant. After the Left
Front came to power in West
Bengal in 1977, the govern-
ment, two years later, forcibly
evicted refugees who had set-
tled in Marichjhapi in the
Sunderbans areas. It was per-
haps reportedly the most hor-
rific manner in which police
in the post-Independent era
had acted even as these refu-
gees had been promised a re-
hab scheme by the Front in its
poll campaign! But in reality
what happened after the Left
came to power was something
shocking! It was once again
exhibited that these hapless
people “belonged to no one!”
When and where will this
dance of death end is the
question everyone is asking.
Isn’t it time, we looked back
and told ourselves that
enough is enough and what is
the message we are passing
on to others about ourselves?

Maha govt: Order to demolish
Rane’s bungalow withdrawn
Mumbai (Agencies):
The Maharashtra gov-
ernment on Tuesday in-
formed the Bombay
High Court that it
has withdrawn an
order to demolish
illegal construc-
tionsinthebunga-
low owned by Un-
ion MSME Minis-
ter Narayan Rane.
Advocate General
Ashutosh Kumbhakoni
made the submission
before a division bench
of Justices AA Sayed
and MS Karnik.
The statement fol-
lowed a plea
against the March
21 order of the
Collectorordering
Rane to remove
the alleged unau-
thorised construc-
tions carried out in the
bungalow failing which
the authorities con-
cerned would raze it.
POLITICAL CONSPIRACY
Aaditya dismisses
‘Matoshree’ controversy
Mumbai (Agencies):
Cabinet Minister and
Shiv Sena leader Aadi-
tya Thackeray, who is
on a visit to the Konkan
region of Maharashtra,
has for the first time re-
acted to reports about
the mention of a ‘Ma-
toshree’ (also the name
of the Thackeray resi-
dence) in Shiv Sena
leader and former Bri-
hanmumbai Municipal
Corporation (BMC)
standing committee
chairman Yashwant
Jadhav’s diary which
was purportedly recov-
ered by Income Tax of-
ficials during a raid.
Responding to a
question from report-
ers, Mr Thackeray said,
“We have to decide how
much to believe these
rumours. Defamation
is being done by
spreading rumours,
the system is being
used. It’s a political
conspiracy. This dirty
politics must stop.”
The Thackeray fami-
ly lives in Kalanangar
in the Bandra suburb of
Mumbai and their fam-
ily home is called ‘Ma-
toshree’. The word Ma-
toshree is often used by
Sainiks (Shiv Sena
workers) to refer to the
top leadership of the
party. Literally, the
word means ‘Mother’.
The BJP is trying to
corner the Shiv Sena on
this issue and has been
taking potshots using
the media reports about
the diary. The Income
Tax department has
made no mention of the
diary anywhere so far.

‘Need for
dialogue
with Pak
on nukes’
New Delhi (PTI):
Voicing concern
over the accidental
firing of a missile
that landed in Paki-
stan, Congress lead-
er Manish Tewari
on Tuesday called for
an institutionalised
dialogue on nuclear
issues.
Raising the matter
during Zero Hour, he
said facts suggest
that Pakistan had
prepared a retaliato-
ry strike when the
missile had entered
their territory
.
“The trajectory of
the missile had a
large number of ci-
vilian aircraft in its
vicinity and there
could have been an
unintended catastro-
phe. We were lucky
on that particular
day,” Tewari said.
The Lok Sabha
memberfromAnand-
pur Sahib said the
incident makes a
strong case for an in-
stitutionalised dia-
logue with Pakistan
on nuclear issues.

PM addresses BJP leaders, tells
them to take up social justice work
New Delhi (PTI):
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi asked BJP
MPs on Tuesday to un-
dertake various pro-
grammes as part of “sa-
majik nyay pakhwada”
(fortnight dedicated to
social justice) from its
foundation day on April
6, and also asserted that
it is the only ruling par-
ty which has recognised
contributions of every
Prime Minister by
building a museum to
honour them.
With the birth anni-
versary of BR Ambed-
kar, architect of the
Constitution, falling on
April 14, PM Modi at the
BJP’s parliamentary
party meeting asked
party MPs to reach out
to people, especially the
disadvantaged sections
of society like Sched-
uled Castes, to high-
light various govern-
ment programmes for
their welfare.
Quoting him, Union
Minister Arjun Ram
Meghwal told reporters
that PM Modi asked
parliamentarians to
work to spread aware-
ness about the central
government’s welfare
schemes for housing,
nutrition and free
grains among others.
With a museum dedi-
cated to all former
Prime Ministers of In-
dia set to be inaugurat-
ed on April 14, PM Modi
noted his address from
the ramparts of Red
Fort on August 15 in
which he had lauded
their contributions.
“He said we are the
only ones to have ac-
knowledged former
Prime Ministers’ con-
tributions irrespective
of the party they came
from,” a BJP MP said.
The BJP has often ac-
cused the Congress,
which has ruled the
country for much of the
period since Independ-
ence, of glorifying the
Prime Ministers from
its ruling Nehru-Gan-
dhi family while ignor-
ing others.
“This is essentially
democratisation of na-
tional recognition and
articulation of popular
gratitude towards all of
our former Prime Min-
isters,” BJP MP Vinay
Sahasrabuddhe said.
That the museum is
beinginauguratedonBR
Ambedkar’s birth anni-
versary is a recognition
of the democratic archi-
tecture he bequeathed to
the country
, another
party leader said, refer-
ringtoPMModi’sspeech.
PM Modi also noted
that the birth anniver-
sary of noted social re-
former Jyotirao Phule
falls on April 11.
An exhibition on the
movement for India’s In-
dependencewasalsoheld
at Ambedkar Interna-
tional Centre, the meet-
ing’s venue, where PM
Modiarrivedearlierthan
its scheduled beginning.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked MPs to reach out to disadvantaged section of society to highlight various govt schemes.
This is

and articulation of

Lakhimpur case: Had opposed bail plea of
Ashish Mishra, UP Govt tells apex court
SC: ENV MUST PREVAIL OVER
OTHER RIGHTS, FORESTS
HAVE TO BE PRESERVED
PLEA MOVED IN APEX COURT
CHALLENGING DELIMITATION
EXERCISE IN JK
New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh government on Tues-
day told Supreme Court that it had opposed the bail
plea of Ashish Mishra, son of Union minister Ajay
Mishra, in connection with the Lakhimpur Kheri vio-
lence that left eight people, including four farmers,
dead. It also stated that the “attack” on a witness in
the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case had nothing to do
with the case — as alleged — but was the outcome
of some people throwing gulal on the person. The
UP government said that the submission of the
petition that state did not effectively oppose the bail
application of Ashish Mishra is “completely untrue.”
New Delhi (PTI): The environment
“must prevail” over other rights
and forests must be preserved, the
Supreme Court said while hear-
ing a matter which involved issues
regarding forest and non-forest land
in Haryana. The SC stressed upon the
need to preserve forests and said it is
because of strict interpretation by the
SC that the forest cover is increasing.
“Environment is more important than
your civil rights,” a Bench headed by
Justice AM Khanwilkar said, adding,
“The environment must prevail over
all other rights”.
New Delhi (ANI): A petition has been
moved in the Supreme Court chal-
lenging the increase of the number of
seats in the Union Territory of Jammu
and Kashmir from 107 to 114. The
plea was filed by two residents of
Jammu and Kashmir. The petitioner
sought to declare that the increase
in the number of seats in JK, as
provided in the J-K Reorganisation
Act, 2019, is ultra vires the constitu-
tional provisions such as Articles 81,
82, 170, 330 and 332 and statutory
provisions particularly Section 63 of
the JK Reorganisation Act, 2019.

`100-MARK
New Delhi
(PTI): Petrol
prices in the
n a t i o n a l
capital as
well as
most state
c ap i t a l s
c r o s s e d
`100 a litre
mark as its
rates on Tuesday were
hiked by 80 paise a li-
tre and that of diesel
by 70 paise, taking the
total increase since
last week to `4.80/L.
Petrol in Delhi will
now cost `100.21 per
litre against `99.41
previously, while die-
sel rates have gone
up from `90.77 per
litre to `91.47, ac-
cording to a price
notification
of state
fuel re-
tailers.
Rates
have been
i n c r e a s e d
across the
country and
vary from
state to
state, de-
pending
upon the
incidence of
local taxation.
Petrol price in the
national capital had
last crossed `100 a li-
tre mark on July 7,
2021, and went on to
touch an all-time high
of `110.04 before the
Modi government on
November 4 reduced
excise duty on auto fu-
els. Most states
matched that cut with
a reduction in local
sales tax or VAT.
This is the seventh
increase in prices
since the ending of a
four-and-half-month
long hiatus in rate re-
vision on March 22.
On the first four occa-
sions, prices were in-
creased by 80 paise a
litre. On the following
days, petrol price went
up by 50 paise and 30
paise a litre, while die-
sel rose by 55 paise and
35 paise a litre.
In all, petrol and die-
sel prices have gone up
by `4.80 per litre -
the
steepest increase in
any eight days since
the daily price revi-
sion was implemented
in June 2017.
In Mumbai, petrol
comes for `115.0/L,
while in Chennai, it is
priced at `105.94 and
in Kolkata at `109.68.
Diesel is priced at
`99.25/L in Mumbai,
Rs 96 in Chennai and
Rs 94.62 in Kolkata.
Rajasthan’s Ganga-
nagar district has the
costliest fuel in the
country at `117.14 per
litre for petrol and
`99.96 for diesel.
New Delhi (Agencies):
India has contracted
45,000 tonnes of Rus-
sian sunflower oil at a
record high price for
shipments in April as
edible oil prices in the
local market surged af-
ter supplies from rival
Ukraine stopped be-
cause of the war, five
industry officials said.
Sunflower oil from
Russia could help the
world’s biggest edible
oil importer in easing
the shortfall at a time
when availability of
vegetable oils is
stretched because of In-
donesia’s decision to
restrict palm oil sup-
plies and lower soybean
crop in South America.
“As vessel loading is
not possible in Ukraine,
buyers are trying to se-
cure supplies from Rus-
sia,” said Pradeep
Chowdhry, managing
director of Gemini Edi-
bles Fats India Pvt
Ltd, which contracted
12,000 tonnes of Rus-
sian sunflower oil for
April shipments.
Refiners bought
crude sunflower oil at a
record price of $2,150 a
tonne, including cost,
insurance and freight
(CIF), in India for
April ship-
ments, com-
pared with
$1,630 before
Russia invad-
ed Ukraine.

Publicsecbankssufficiently
capitalised:MoSFinance
New Delhi (PTI): The
government has in-
fused capital amount-
ing to `2,86,043 crore in
public sector banks
(PSBs) during the last
five years and they are
sufficiently capital-
ised, Parliament was
informed on Tuesday
.
The government in-
fused about `3 lakh
crore between 2017-18
and 2021-22.
As per inputs re-
ceived from RBI, Capi-
tal to Risk-weighted
Assets Ratio (CRAR)
of PSBs has improved
substantially over the
past three years, in-
creasing from 12.20%
at the end of 2018-19 to
14.34% as on December
31, 2021, Minister of
State for Finance
Bhagwat K Karad said.
“As reflected in their
capital position as on
December 31, 2021,
PSBs are currently suf-
ficiently capitalised,”
he said.
With regard to Gen-
eral Insurance Corpo-
ration of India (GIC),
Karad said, no propos-
al to privatise GIC is
under consideration
of the government at
present. “Further, as
per inputs received, to-
tal assets outstanding
as on 31.3.2021 were
`38.04 lakh crore and
`1.35 lakh crore for LIC
and GIC, respectively,”
he said.
Govt to set up global
mkt intelligence network
New Delhi (PTI):
The government is
setting up a global
market intelligence
network to boost In-
dia’s exports from
the micro, small and
medium enterprises
sector, Union minis-
ter Narayan Rane
said on Tuesday
.
The Global Mar-
ket Intelligence Net-
work will act as a
knowledge reposito-
ry of export-related
data on foreign mar-
kets and facilitate
easier market access
for MSME exporters.
India’s MSME sec-
tor accounts for 45%
of its exports. There
is a huge untapped
potential to boost
outward shipments
from the segment.
However, lack of
credible trade-relat-
ed data on overseas
markets has been
one of the key bottle-
necks impeding the
MSME sector from
realising its true ex-
port potential by tap-
ping new market op-
portunities.
Rane said the gov-
ernment is keen to
strengthen the
MSME sector.
“Our focus is on
providing easy cred-
it, better technology
support and access
to the export mar-
kets. We want our
MSME sector to be-
come competitive
and grow,” MSME
minister said.

Jaipur: The High Court
on Tuesday imposed a
ban on any ‘non-forest’
activities on the 441 hec-
tare of forest land in
Dubbi Bindrakhia of
Sawai Madhopur dis-
trict. The Division
Bench of Acting Chief
Justice MM Srivastava
and Justice Samir Jain
pronounced the ruling
while hearing the case
opposing handing over
250 hectare of the forest
land to RIICO for indus-
trial use.
Representing the pe-
titioners Badrilal Mee-
na and others, lawyer
AK Jain told the court
that the patch of land
had been declared as
forest land in 1963. But
the local administra-
tion allotted 250 hectare
of it to RIICO whereas a
Supreme Court ruling
disallows conversion of
land if forestry has al-
ready been developed
on that land.
The Bench had put an
interim stay on the
‘non-forest’ activities
during the hearing of
the case last week. The
next hearing has now
been posted to 18th
April.
