NDA GOVT FAILED TO TACKLE TERROR,
BUT MODI STILL ‘LAST HOPE’: SHIV SENA
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav
Thackeray kept up his attack
on the Centre alleging
it has failed to live up to
the promise of tackling the
menace of “terror” with an
iron-hand but said he was
optimistic that the Narendra
Modi government will
“rectify everything” as it
was the “last hope” of the
country.
Suggesting that the government
is “going soft on
terror”, Uddhav said though
he was not an expert on
the issue, he could feel the
pulse of the people and the
nation.

The apex court, after
noting the submissions
by Attorney General, issued
notice to Mallya and
asked him to respond

has completed two
years in power. But
I am optimistic that
Modi will rectify everything,”
Uddhav said in
the second part of an interview
to party mouthpiece
‘Saamana’.
To a query on developments
in Kashmir and “Pakistan’s
increasing intervention
in India’s internal
affairs,” Uddhav said, “We
all know the reason behind
this. At this stage, I remember
the words of our sages...
Practice what you preach.
People who do so are revered.
Unfortunately, India

the Government has
allocated a total gross budgetary
support of Rs 1,531

Raising the issue, Derek
O’Brien (TMC) said he has
given a notice under rule
267 seeking adjournment
of business to take up a discussion
on the trend of disregarding
the Constitution
and rising protests across
the country over attacks of
dalits and minorities.
Deputy Chairman P J
Kurien said the notice has
been disallowed.
Sukhendu Sekhar Roy
(TMC) said rights of dalits
and minorities are being
curtailed in direct disregard
to the Constitution.
Observing that the government
set up NIA to curb
anti- national activities, he
said these attacks were also
anti-national.
“The Prime Minister has
of contempt proceedings
against
him.
On July 14, Rohatgi
claimed that
Mallya had provided
wrong details
of his assets
in a sealed cover
to the apex court.
He further said a lot
of information had also
been concealed, including
a cash transaction to
the tune of Rs 2500 crore,
which amounted to contempt
of court.
Earlier, the court had
power in Maharashtra and
the Centre, the 56-yearold
leader said, “Our stand
about this government is
very honest. We wish this
government runs smoothly
so that it can fulfill the
promises it made to the
people of the country.
However, whenever we
feel that the government is
deviating from its course,
we have all the right to ring
the bell.”
“Modi government is the
last hope of the country,
therefore, irrespective of
whether we are in touch
or not, this government
should prove itself by doing
good work.”
Uddhav dismissed the
suggestion that there were
differences between the
Shiv Sena and BJP over
the allocation of portfolios
both in the state and at the
Centre.
“Who says we have not
Police said that the driver,
who had earphones on,
did not pay heed to the
warning.
The children, who survived
the mishap, also said
that they tried to draw the
driver’s attention but he
was in a hurry to clear the
crossing, police said.
Seven children and the
driver who were injured
have been admitted to different
hospitals. Those
suffering serious injuries
have been referred to BHU
hospital in Varanasi, police
said adding that senior administration
and police officials
were on the spot.
“There is a proposal to
spend around Rs 7 lakh
crores to develop National
Highways of around 50,000
kilometres in the next 5
years. For Sagarmala port
development, the project
cost is Rs 73,375 crore and
in respect of Sagarmala

to come and make a statement
on growing atrocities
on SCs and STs,” he said.
As Kurien said though
the subject was important,
the notice under rule 267
has been disallowed, TMC
members started shouting
slogans.
“Pradhan Mantri bayan
do, bayan do (Prime Minister
should make statement),”
they shouted.
As Kurien firmly held on
to his position that their
notice cannot be taken up,
TMC members walked out
of the Rajya Sabha.

Recently, the consortium

that Mallya was not cooperating

media which is unnecessarily
beating this drum,”
he said.
He said there is no bad
blood between him and
Chief Minister Devendra
Fadnavis, “but BJP should
do something to establish a
better co-ordination among
bosses of BJP (in Delhi), the
CM and us.”
The Sena leader also
defended the Modi government’s
move to go all out to
advertise the work it has
done in last two years.
“It is okay up to a certain
extent to advertise its (government’s)
achievements
so that people of the country
know where they are
headed to,” he said.
“But this (advertisement)
can continue only
for some time. Ultimately,
if you do not perform today,
then tomorrow you can be
in trouble,” Uddhav said.
Superintendent of Police
Arvind Bhushan Pandey
said that an FIR will be
lodged against the school
management.
Seven of the deceased
have been identified as
Naitik (6), Abhishek (10),
Shubham (6), Pradumn
Tewari (14), Swati Misra
(10), Sakshi (7) and Rinku
(8), police said.
Chief Minister Akhilesh
Yadav has announced an
ex gratia of Rs 2 lakh to the
families of the deceased
and free treatment for the
injured, District Magistrate
Prakash Vindu said.
PRIVILEGE MOTION MOVED AGAINST
JAIRAM, RENUKA
Shiromani Akali Dal
(SAD) moved a privilege
motion in Rajya Sabha
against Congress leaders
Jairam Ramesh and Renuka
Chowdhury for allegedly
misbehaving with SAD
member and union minister
Harsimrat Kaur Badal.
Raising the issue of an
alleged spat between the
Congress leaders and the
Food Processing Minister
after Rajya Sabha was adjourned
on Friday afternoon
due to ruckus over
AAP MP Bhagwant Mann’s
controversial filming of
Parliament House, Sukhdev
Singh Dhindsa (SAD)
demanded that the two
should apologise for their
behaviour or face privilege
motion.
A minister, he said, has
the right to speak in any
House and the permission
for the same was strictly
between the Chair and
minister.
Badal had sought permission
of the Chair to
speak on Mann’s act, he
said and asked “What right
do they have to obstruct.”
Dhindsa also alleged that
the two had misbehaved
with Badal outside the
House.
As the Congress members
including the two in
question strongly contested
Dhindsa’s remarks, Deputy
Chairman P K Kurien
said, a minister or a member
can speak only with the
permission of the Chair.
“That day, the Minister
stood up requesting she be
allowed to speak,” he said,
adding the House was in
pandemonium at that time.
Kurien, who was in the
Chair on Friday, said he
first allowed introduction
of a private member bills
and “so did not allow the
minister to speak.”
The Minister, he said,
had a valid point to make
and if a discussion comes
up again, she will be free to
express herself.
Kurien said Chairman
Hamid Ansari was seized
of the matter and if he desired,
the concerned parties
will be called.
The alleged incident
happened soon after Rajya
Sabha was adjourned
on Friday afternoon after
ruckus was created by
the treasury benches on
Mann’s actions.
Anand Sharma (Cong)
said the minister has every
right to speak in either
House of Parliament on a
bill or a discussion.
But the issue was whether
a minister, who is not a
member of this House, can
raise an issue during zero
hour, he asked.
“Can a minister who is
not a member of this house
have the same privileges
as other members of the
House” and that too “about
a person who is a member
of the other House,” he
asked.
AAP MLA REMANDED IN TWO DAYS
POLICE CUSTODY IN SACRILEGE CASE
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
MLA Naresh Yadav was
remanded in police custody
for two days by a local
court in connection with
an incident of alleged sacrilege
last month, a day after
the Delhi legislator was arrested
in the case by Punjab
police.
Malerkotla Additional
Civil Judge Preeti Sukheja
sent Yadav to two days’
police custody after he was
produced before her by police.
Punjab Police had last
night arrested Yadav who
was booked in connection
with the alleged sacrilege
incident on June 24
in Malerkotla after one of
the accused arrested in
connection with the case
claimed he had acted at the
behest of the AAP MLA.
He has been charged
with IPC sections 109 (punishment
for abetment if the
act abetted is committed in
consequence and where no
express provision is made
for its punishment), 153
A (promoting enmity between
different groups on
grounds of religion, race,
place of birth etc and doing
acts prejudicial to maintenance
of harmony) and 295
(injury or defiling place of
worship with an intent to
insult the religion of any
class).
Yadav had described the
police action against him as
a “conspiracy.”
Police had claimed that
Vijay had met the MLA before
the incident and calls
were also exchanged between
them.
The Mehrauli MLA and
his party have denied the
charges and alleged it was
a “political conspiracy” to
malign AAP’s image ahead
of Assembly polls in Punjab.
Meanwhile, AAP’s Punjab
in charge Sanjay Singh
condemned the arrest of
MLA.
“Whatever is being done
with the AAP MLA is under
a conspiracy to malign the
party and it is not correct,”
he said outside the court.
He announced that the
party will stage protest
across Punjab for three
hours in front of the offices
of the Deputy Commissioners
to protest the arrest of
its MLA.
RICE MILL OWNER KILLED
BY 7 POLICEMEN IN RAMPUR
A rice mill owner was
battered to death allegedly
by seven police personnel
including two sub-inspectors
who had raided the
premises over suspicion of
gambling, prompting authorities
to order a magisterial
probe.
Jalal Ahmad, 40, was
killed by the seven police
personnel who punched
and assaulted him with rifle
buts, according to a police
complaint filed at the
Kemri police station.
Ahmad’s family alleged
that the seven policemen
entered the mill and started
abusing him late on Saturday.
They demanded Rs
one lakh, saying they could
implicate him in a false
case.
When Ahmad refused,
the policemen mercilessly
thrashed him, causing
severe injuries to him, his
family told the media.
He was rushed to a nearby
hospital where doctors
declared him brought dead.
The accused policemen
have been taken off active
duty and sent to the police
lines by Rampur Superintendent
of Police (SP) Sanjeev
Tyagi. Acting collector
Madan Singh Garbial has
ordered a magisterial inquiry
into the incident, police
sources said on Monday.
The incident sparked
protests in the area as
scores of residents of Kemri
town and adjoining areas
gathered and started
raising slogans against the
accused.
As tensions prevailed,
authorities deployed a
large contingent of police
personnel to bring the situation
under control.
The SP and District Magistrate
intervened and mollified
the agitating mob and
assured them of appropriate
actions.
Meanwhile, an accused
sub-inspector has filed a
complaint alleging that illegal
activities like gambling
were being organised in the
mill by its owner and that
Rs 6,700 has also been recovered
from the premises.
The accused policemen
claimed in the complaint
that they did not beat mill
owner Ahmad but he died
in a stampede that took
place after police raided
the premises following a
tip-off about gambling activities.
