Drought aid package soon,
says Pawar
New Delhi, August 3 Talking to reporters, he said the package could include rescheduling of farm loans and greater employment. Mr Pawar, who reviewed the situation with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last night, said the states facing scarcity conditions would not be left bereft of resources and would be provided adequate assistance, including food grains. Under the liberalised package being prepared, he said the Centre proposed to provide fresh credit to farmers with assistance from the states and putting a two- year moratorium on the earlier loans taken by them. He said the scheme could be implemented only with active cooperation of states which will have to bear the additional burden of interest for the earlier credit taken by the farmers. |

India floods Pak with 50 new
proposals
New Delhi, August 3 An encouraging aspect of the first day of the two-day talks here today between the Indian and Pakistani delegations headed by the two countries’ Culture Secretaries was that Pakistan reacted positively to the Indian proposal for increasing the ceiling on number of pilgrims from India to Pakistan on occasions of Guru Nanak Birthday and Baisakhi from 3,000 to 5,000, sources told The Tribune. The two sides exchanged a number of proposals for promotion of friendly exchanges aimed at further intensifying people-to-people contacts. The Indian proposals, running into four pages, are in the following ten fields: art and culture, education, science and technology, youth affairs, media, tourism, exchanges between the Election Commissions, prisoner matters, visa regimes, and visits to places of religious importance. The Pakistanis also gave a number of proposals for increasing cooperation between the two countries’ institutes involved in tourism promotion and agricultural research. Moreover, the Pakistanis also proposed to allow more people to visit each other’s shrines and an increase in the number of the shrines that can be visited. Yet another Pakistani proposal was better facilitation of visas for travellers. Following are some of the Indian proposals to Pakistan:
l Exchange of artists, painters, poets, musicians and sculptors. The two delegations, led by Ms Neena Ranjan (India) and Mr Jalil Abbas (Pakistan) will continue discussions tomorrow. On August 5 and 6, the two countries’ Defence Secretaries are scheduled to meet here for talks on the Siachen issue under the composite dialogue framework.
Indo-Pak defence talks from tomorrow
New Delhi, August 3 As Pakistan and India held talks, as part of the composite dialogue, here today on various issues which included tourism and trade, secretary-level talks on Siachen Glacier begin from Thursday. The talks will again be held as a part of ongoing composite dialogue and confidence-building measures (CBMs) initiated between both the countries. The Ministry of Defence

Sidhu to be new
Manipur Governor New Delhi, August 3 Meanwhile, the Centre appointed former Civil Aviation Secretary S.S. Sidhu as the next Manipur Governor. He replaces Arvind Dave on the expiry of his five-year term. It is learnt that more changes in the civil administration are also in the offing as part of the ongoing efforts to defuse the tense situation. Besides an hour-long meeting with Left leaders Harkishan Singh Surjeet and A.B. Bardhan, Dr Singh also met Leader of Opposition L.K. Advani, former Defence Minister George Fernandes, Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh and BSP chief Mayawati. Dr Singh is learnt to have sought their views on the possible ways of handling the growing turmoil in Manipur, triggered by the demand for the repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. While giving their suggestions, the leaders extended support to the government on its action plan. There was, however, no official word on whether these discussions are learnt to have dwelt on the feasibility of scrapping the contentious Act. Manipur Chief Minister O. Ibodi Singh, who has assured the agitating public that he would get the Act scrapped by August 15, also met the Prime
Minister tonight. He has already met Home Minister Shivraj Patil and Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee in this connection. Manipur came under the Centre’s scanner following reports that a special Assembly session is to be convened to repeal the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, similar to what the Punjab legislature did on the water-sharing accords. CPI General Secretary A.B. Bardhan refused to divulge the details of the meeting but he indicated that the demand for doing away with the Act was not a simple affair. “There are complications which have to be understood,” he added. Former Defence Minister George Fernandes also
expressed his reservations about scrapping this controversial Act to presspersons after his meeting. He said this was not a new demand and no previous government had agreed to it, adding that its removal would create problems for the Army in doing its job. Today’s meetings come a day after the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) reviewed the situation in Manipur and asked the Home Ministry to take appropriate decisions in consultation with the Chief Minister. However, the CCPA also made it clear that it would not be pressured by deadlines and that it would act as per its own perceptions. |

Haryana justifies release of convicts in
SC
New Delhi, August 3 Haryana Government’s Jail Department in an affidavit placed before a Bench of Mr Justice S N Variava and Mr Justice A.K. Mathur yesterday, said all actions had been taken by the government as per the provision of Article 161, which deals with Governor’s power to grant pardon, remission or commutation of sentence of a convicted person. It also claimed that the procedure laid down under the CrPC in this regard has been followed by the government. The affidavit of the state government came in reply to a batch of public interest litigations (PILs) challenging premature release of hardened criminals even after their sentences were confirmed by the Supreme Court. While issuing notice to the state government on the PILs last year, the court had stayed any further premature release of convicted prisoners. The state government in its reply admitted that it had released eight lifers prematurely and the matter relating to the release of nine others was under consideration but held up due to a petition filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Petitioner Anil Sharma, an advocate and Society for Human Rights and Civil Liberties (SHRCL), in separate PILs had challenged the Haryana Government’s 2002 decision regarding premature release of murder convicts on the ground that this had been done by the state without following its own rules and even when the sentences of the convicts were upheld by the apex court. Though the Haryana Government has only admitted about the release of eight prisoners, petitioners’ counsel at the time of issuance of notices by the court had alleged that nearly 165 such prisoners had been released by the Chautala Government. The Jail Department in its reply said that the mercy petitions of the convicts had been accepted by the state government on the grounds that some of them had old parents to look after, some had
no one to look after their children and one of them was a postgraduate in linguistics and library science and two were law graduates. In a case the state had granted remission on the ground that the accused was implicated in a false case even when his sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court. In his rejoinder,
petitioner advocate Anil Sharma has accused the Haryana Government of “suppressing” the facts from the Court. |

Lucknow, August 3 In its report, the medical officer confirmed a two-and-a-half-inch-long perineal tear that had turned infectious. Ramrati is being treated for infection. Charging the hospital staff with highhanded behavior, the survivor’s
mother, Kalawati, said the hospital staff “was rude and did not realise that my
daughter has been wronged and is suffering”. According to her, “they are openly saying that we had gone to the Press and made
a ‘heroine’ out of our daughter”. Sharing their spine-chilling encounter with the government health machinery from the CHC to the district hospital in Lucknow, Ramrati’s mother, aunt and uncle gave details of the sequence of events from the day she delivered the child on the roadside. It may be recalled that Ramrati had delivered a stillborn child at the gates of the Mohanlalganj CHC on Friday after the staff turned her out when the family could not pay Rs 10,000 being demanded by the CHC. Later, a woman member of the three-member doctor team appointed by the Lucknow CMO internally examined her twice, allegedly causing the vaginal tear in the process. Dismissing the charge, the Lucknow CMO said that that the tear had occurred during delivery. However, Ms Jashodaras Dasgupta of Healthwatch UP, Bihar, demanded to know why then the CHC staff had discharged Ramrati without stitching her when was
admitted at the CHC after the delivery on a public hue and cry. “If she was in such a bad condition with a two-and-half-inch tear why the CHC staff discharged her after administering glucose. Why was she not given proper treatment or referred to another hospital.” In both cases, health officials could not escape responsibility, she pointed out. Demanding compensation for Ramrati and her family, NGO’s monitoring the case insisted on fixing responsibility in cases of maternal deaths. |

'Talaq' case: lower court told to
re-examine claims
Lucknow, August 3 Taking reference of the Shamin Ara decision in the Supreme Court in 2002, Mr Justice I.M. Qudusi of the Lucknow Bench of the High Court quashed an order of the lower court and asked for reconsideration in the light of several observations made by the High Court. Among the observations of the High Court was to ask the lower court to reconsider the claim of the minor son to get maintenance under Section 125 even while the divorce was being disputed. Hearing a case for maintenance of Ms Sadiqur Nisa, a resident of Sitapur district, Mr Justice Qudusi also directed the lower court to decide on the application for interim maintenance within two months. Earlier arguing Ms Sadiqur Nisa’s case, her lawyer, Mr Khaliq Ahmed Khan, pleaded that no specific reason had been mentioned for the divorce nor was there any evidence of any reconciliation or arbitration between both parties. At the same time, he maintained, the divorce had not come through in three sittings and hence was not according to the law laid down by Muslim Shariat. Claiming benefit under Section 125, Cr PC, Mr Khan had argued that the claim of the son should not be disputed at all. The case for maintenance was originally filed by Ms Sadiqur Nisa in the court of the Additional Judicial Magistrate, Sitapur, demanding maintenance for herself and her minor son. It had been turned down on the grounds that her husband had already divorced her under the Muslim Women Protection of Rights and Divorce Act, 1986 and she was, therefore, not eligible for maintenance. |

PM discusses Manipur situation
with Left, SP leaders
New Delhi, August 3 Dr Manmohan Singh had an hour-long meeting with Left leaders Harkishen Singh Surjeet and A.B. Bardhan and another with Samajwadi Party leaders Amar Singh and Ram Gopal Yadav. CPI General Secretary Bardhan refused to disclose about the deliberations, saying they discussed “how to deal with the situation” in the state which was “very sensitive”. The meetings the Prime Minister had today, came in the wake of weeks of agitation in Manipur in protest against the rape and killing of a 30-year old woman allegedly by Assam Rifles personnel. The agitators, who alleged that the woman was killed while in custody of Assam Rifles, were also demanding the withdrawal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act which had been in force there for the past 27 years. However, Assam Rifles had claimed that the woman who died, belonged to an underground outfit. |

BJP launches stir against Budget
New Delhi, August 3 During the week-long protests senior BJP leaders President M. Venkaiah Naidu, M. M. Joshi, Yashwant Sinha, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Rajnath Singh and Arun Shourie will address a series of meetings of “prominent persons, businessmen and opinion builders” across the country to “highlight ill-effects” of the Budget on the society. “The party will draw attention of people towards the anti-people and economy damaging aspects of the Budget,” BJP Vice-President and spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told newspersons here. He alleged that the Budget proposals were particularly adverse to the interests of farmers, labourers, youths and housewives. The farmers of the country are already reeling under the continuous price increase of petroleum products like petrol, diesel, LPG and necessary commodities have become costlier due to “short-sighted” declarations made in the Budget, Mr Naqvi charged. |

UP House adopts move on Hardwar,
Lucknow, August 3 The resolution would be sent to the Centre for necessary action so that Hardwar and Udham Singh Nagar could be merged with UP. The main opposition BJP protested that the matter was sub judice and pending before the Supreme Court. Later, BJP members staged a walkout. Introducing the recommendation to detach Hardwar and Udham Singh Nagar from Uttaranchal, Revenue Minister Ambika Choudhury said the people of the two districts were “anxious” to be with UP and had even launched an agitation for the cause. He said his party had always opposed the inclusion of the twin districts in Uttaranchal during the bifurcation of UP in December, 2000. In the recently held Lok Sabha poll, the SP had won the Hardwar seat. Leader of the Opposition Lalji Tandon observed it was a wrong precedent in the house to take up a sub judice matter. The recommendation, he observed could influence the court verdict. Later Speaker Mata Prasad Pandey held a meeting with Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav and the Leader of the Opposition to sort out the deadlock. Parliamentary Affairs minister Mohammad Azam Khan said it was merely a recommendation made to the Central government to include the twin towns in UP. The speaker adopted the resolution on consensus even as the BJP boycotted the proceedings of the House. — UNI |

Change needed in anti-defection Law:
EC
New Delhi, August 3 The commission has suggested that the disqualification of members on grounds of defection should be decided by the President or the Governor on the advice of the Election Commission. “The question of disqualification of members on ground of defection should also be decided by the President and Governors on the opinion of the Election Commission, which is now a three-member constitutional body,” said the CEC T.S. Krishna Murthy. In his
electoral reforms’ proposals to the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, he said all questions of post-election disqualification of a sitting member of Parliament or a state legislature are decided by the President or the Governor, as the case may be, on the opinion of the Election Commission, except the question of disqualification under the Anti-Defection Law. Mr Murthy said, “If the decisions relating to anti-defection matters are rendered by the President or the Governor on the opinion of EC the same will receive more respect and acceptability from the common people.” Further, the commission has expressed the need to set up an independent secretariat for the EC. He suggested that all three members of the Election Commission should have protection of their tenure as the Chief Election Commissioner. The Election Commission has sought powers to regulate registration and de-registration of political parties in order to check the proliferation of non-serious parties. Presently, more than 650 parties are registered with the commission, but only about 150 of them contest the elections, the commission pointed out to the government. “Certain looseness” in Section 29-A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, has resulted in the “mushrooming and proliferation” of a large number of non-serious parties which causes considerable load in elections, it said. |

Rajasthan rues less supply of water by
MP
Jaipur, August 3 The total capacity of the dams constructed on the Chambal is 8.4368 MAF, including 5.1936 MAF in Gandhi Sagar, 2.355 MAF in Rana Pratap Sagar and 0.055 MAF in Jawahar Sagar. In addition, the Kota barrage capacity was 0.0908 MAF. The inadequate supply of water was because of the construction of 152 anicuts and minor irrigation systems in the command area of Gandhi Sagar by the MP Government and the diversion of about 0.229 MAF of water to these channels. Rajasthan would urge Madhya Pradesh to demolish these unauthorised constructions and ensure free flow of water as envisaged earlier. This issue would also be raised at the next meeting of the standing committee of the Madhya Pradesh - Rajasthan Control Board constituted to consider and resolve such disputes. |
