Hamdard faces
disqualification
NEW DELHI, Aug 30 — An
independent Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab is precariously perched and just
two sittings short of being disqualified as a member. Frantic
efforts to persuade Mr Brijender Singh Hamdard to attend at least one
sitting of the House of Elders during the just-concluded monsoon session
of Parliament so that he does not have to give up his Rajya Sabha seat
has proved to be in vain.
Ex-minister held,
freed on bail
CHANDIGARH, Aug 30 — The
former Haryana Public Works Minister, Dr Dharamvir Yadav, and a
subdivisional engineer of the department, Mr N.K. Garg, were arrested by
the state police on charges of corruption levelled against them.
However, they were released because of the anticipatory bail granted by
the Sessions Judge, Ambala.
