Dismiss HSSC member Virk for organising
Karnal, January 1 Talking to The Tribune, INLD leader Krishan Lal Panwar said the Governor should order a probe into the matter and if these allegations were found true he should be dismissed from his post. Also the former MLA from Assandh, Mr Panwar, said Mr Virk had not only took active part in organising the public meeting but also shared the dais with the Mr Hooda. He could not take part in political activities while holding a constitutional post, he added. Mr Panwar said he had a video recording of the public meeting which was enough to substantiate his claims and, if required, he was ready to hand over the recording to the inquiring authority for bringing the truth to the fore. The INLD leader claimed that Mr Virk had put up hundreds of hoardings and banners in different parts in view of the rally. These hoardings and banners clearly showed Mr Hooda and Mr Virk’s photos. Meanwhile, Mr Virk admitted that his photos had been carried on hoardings and banners. At the same time, he claimed that the organisers of the rally had used his photographs to attract the crowd without his consent and he had nothing to do with the rally. He said he had even asked the rally organisers to remove his photos as he was not a politician. To another query, he said that he had not shared the dais with Mr Hooda. He said it was another HSSC member, Mr Ram Saran Bhola, who had shared the dais with the Chief Minister at both Indri and Assandh public meetings. Both Mr Virk and Mr Bhola belong to Karnal district and were made members of the HSSC by the Hooda government. |

Draft labour policy rejected
Sonepat, January 1 In a memorandum, sent to the Labour Commissioner of Haryana, a copy of which was released to the Press here today, the union leader said the draft labour policy advocated the policies of globalisation which did not coincide with the object of industrial growth or creating employment opportunities. He said an impartial study on the basis of objective reality of the present economic situation revealed this undisputed fact that nowhere the policies of globalisation, liberalisation and privatisation had been beneficial for the cause of the working class. Referring to the state of Haryana, the union leader said the minimum wages in Haryana were not based on the vital factor and the minimum wages should be fixed at Rs 8,000 per month instead of Rs 2,359.54 at present. Non-implementation of the minimum wages helped the employers against the interests of the workers. |

‘Attack on academicians
unfortunate’
Ambala, January 1 Mr Jain is pursuing his PhD in partial differential equations on the IISc, Bangalore. Mr Jain recalled that he had just finished eating at the institute mess when a colleague informed him about the terrorists attack. “Initially, I was sceptical and I was not ready to believe that terrorist would attack the institute. However, by the time I reached my room, I realised that terrorists had indeed struck,” he said. He said he received a call from his parents and thereafter, phone calls were being received by his other colleagues. “The terrorist had attacked the seminar hall which was in another part of the campus,” he said. Mr Jain said even though a terrorist attack has taken place, it had not adversely affected life on the campus. “We are all deeply saddened at the death of Prof Puri and the injuries sustained by others,” he said. “As a matter of fact, Prof Vijay Chandru of the Computer Science and Automation Department of IISc who was injured in the attack is one of the first person’s in the country to develop the ‘simputer’. Academicians have been attacked which is extremely unfortunate,” he said. Mr Jain has come to Ambala following the death of his grandmother.
