Centre exempts spouse, children of babus from declaring assets under Lokpal
NEW DELHI: Central government employees and executives of NGOs have been exempted from filing details of assets and liabilities of their spouses and dependent children under the newly amended Lokpal Act.
As per the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013, all public servants were required to file details of their assets and liabilities, besides those of their spouses and dependent children every year.
Parliament had on Thursday passed a bill to amend the Lokpal Act.
“The new law mandates that every public servant shall make a declaration of his assets and liabilities. The clauses in the Lokpal Act regarding submission of such details of their spouse and dependent children have been done away with,” a senior official in Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.
The clause related to making public such declarations have also been removed in the new legislation, he said.
“The amendment to Lokpal Act passed by both houses of Parliament does not give much relief to government and foreign-funded NGOs except for extension of the deadline for submission and doing away with the requirement for declaring assets and liabilities of their spouses and dependent children.
“Overall they amount to rolling back those portions of the Lokpal law that make government servants directly accountable and transparent to the people, especially if they acquire assets disproportionate to their known sources of income,” said Venkatesh Nayak, who works with NGO– Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative.
He said with the latest changes, people have lost their right to know the financial profile of government servants that the Lokpal Act provided for in its original form.
The last date for public servants to file assets details is December 31, as per a DoPT order. This is the sixth time that the government has extended the date for about 50 lakh government employees to file the details of assets and liabilities whereas for Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) and their executives, this is the first such extension. The existing deadline was to end today.
The declarations under the Lokpal law are in addition to those filed by the employees under various service rules.
As per rules, every public servant shall file declaration, information and annual returns pertaining to his assets and liabilities as on March 31 every year on or before July 31 of that year.
The DoPT had last month issued an order bringing NGOs receiving more than Rs one crore in government grants and donations above Rs 10 lakh from abroad under the ambit of the Lokpal. The order made it mandatory for such organisations and their executives– director, manager, secretary or any other officer– to file returns of their assets and liabilities. (AGENCIES)

Army pays rich tribute to 2 soldiers martyred at LoC in north Kashmir
SRINAGAR: Army today paid rich tributes to two soldiers who were martyred in an encounter which ensued when troops foiled an infiltration bid from across the border in Nowgam sector in the frontier Kashmir district of Kupwara.
Two militants were also killed in the gunfight yesterday. Defence Ministry spokesperson Colonel N N Joshi here said Army paid befitting tributes to Sep Babaloo Singh and Sep Vishal Chaudhary in a solemn wreath laying ceremony at Badami Bagh Cantonment in Srinagar.
He said Lt Gen Satish Dua, Chinar Corps Commander and all ranks paid homage to the national heroes on behalf of a proud nation.
“They were both cross country runners par excellence – and knew exactly what to do with those who attempted to cross into their country treacherously.
Highly motivated, skilled marksmen, Sep Singh and Sep Chaudhary were part of the Army’s Quick Reaction Team that had intercepted and eliminated two infiltrating militants in Nowgam Sector yesterday, he said.
Col Joshi said unfortunately they were both grievously injured in the ensuing fire fight and later succumbed to their injuries.
“29-year-old Sep Singh, had joined the Army at a tender age of 18 years and in these 11 years of his service, had earned a reputation amongst his comrades of being a daredevil having been part of a number of operations against militants in his parent unit as also during his previous tenure with the Rashtriya Rifles,” the Defence spokesperson asserted.
“He was a keen sportsman too and was part of his units wrestling team. The departed soldier, hailing from Mathura, UP is survived by his wife Ravita Devi and two children, 6-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter,” he said.
Col Joshi said Sep Chaudhary, 30 years, too had joined the Army young in 2004 and was again an experienced soldier in Counter Militant Operations having served in an RR unit earlier.
“An ace shooter, he had been part of his unit’s firing team. The martyr belonged to Bulandshaher, UP and is survived by his wife Madhu Singh and triplets that they were blessed with in 2010 – two daughters and a son,” Col Joshi said.
He said the mortal remains of the martyrs will be flown for last rites to their native places where they will be laid to rest with full military honours. (AGENCIES)

Cong attacks Parrikar over remarks against Aamir Khan
NEW DELHI: Congress today attacked Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar over his jibe against actor Aamir Khan, accusing BJP and RSS of “concerted conspiracy” to hound Dalits, minorities, writers, actors and whoever dissents against the Narendra Modi government.
“Shameful that @manoharparrikar threatens ‘teaching a lesson’ to ‘actors’, instead of training his guns elsewhere,” Congress spokesperson Randeep S Surjewala said.
He said it was a “shocking revelation” by Parrikar and showed that BJP and RSS supporters actively disrupted and sabotaged an online trading company on Aamir Khan issue.
“Scandalous,” he tweeted questioning whether Parrikar’s job is to protect India from external aggressors like Pakistan or threaten fellow countrymen.
“@manoharparrikar’s statement proves a concerted conspiracy to curb all dissent, hound Dalits & Minorities. Can this be the ‘Raj Dharma’?,” he tweeted.
Later in a statement to the media, he alleged that Parrikar has “unknowingly” exposed the conspiracy through which BJP people targeted the online company, booked orders and cancelled in pursuance of a conspiracy to ensure that Aamir Khan was removed as its brand ambassador.
He said the incident “now established that there is a concerted conspiracy against poor, the dalits, the minorities, artists, actors and anybody who dissents against Modi government”.
Parrikar had reportedly yesterday said anyone speaking against the country must be “taught a lesson” and had referred to alleged anti-national sloganeering at JNU earlier this year and remarks by an “actor” who “had said that his wife wants to live out of India”.
Khan had late last year spoken about a “sense of insecurity” resulting from increasing intolerance in the country, and mentioned his wife Kiran Rao’s apprehensions about the future of their child in India.
According to Parrikar, when the actor made the statement last year, many people had protested against his remark and even uninstalled the mobile application of an online shopping site he was associated with, while the firm had also pulled out the advertisement featuring him. (AGENCIES)

Govt withdraws tender for procuring mid-air refuellers
NEW DELHI : The government has withdrawn the nearly USD 2 billion tender for procuring six mid-air refuellers for the Indian Air Force over high life-cycle cost, for which it was in talks with European defence and aerospace major Airbus.
It may go in for a government-to-government deal to procure the aircraft.
Defence sources said the Ministry, in a letter to Airbus late last month, had informed it of the decision to withdraw the tender.
“The main reason for the cancellation of the tender is very high life-cycle cost which was not calculated properly in the beginning,” a top defence source said, adding that the Finance Department also raised some concerns.
This is the second time in a decade that the tender for the much-needed refuellers, primarily to be used for the SU-30 fighter jet to enhance its operational capabilities, has been cancelled.
An earlier tender for procuring these aircraft was scrapped in 2010 after the Finance Ministry expressed reservations on the procedure.
Documents related to the proposal to buy mid-air refuellers were found in the custody of defence consultant Sanjay Bhandari during income tax raids on his premises recently.
The deal had been stuck for long because of the cost factor and multiple complaints, besides a CBI probe into a separate deal with the firm inked by the Civil Aviation Ministry during the UPA era.
Airbus’s A-330 MRTT had emerged as the lowest bidder in the IAF contract for procuring these tanker aircraft.
So far, the Indian Air Force has only been equipped with Russian-origin IL-78 mid-air refuellers.
The selection of Airbus followed a lengthy selection process, including completion of extensive flying demonstration during which the aircraft refuelled multiple types of IAF fighters and operated at high altitudes.
The six aircraft would have added to the existing fleet of equal number of IL-78s operated by the IAF from Agra. The plan was to station the new aircraft in the eastern sector.
Talking about what Airbus had described as “stagnated” deal for buying six refuelers, Venkat Katkuri, President of Airbus Defence and Space Division, India, had said in March that they were awaiting “guidance” from the Defence Ministry about the next step to be taken. (AGENCIES)

Trafficking: New draft proposes national body for rescue,rehab
NEW DELHI A pan-India communication network which will include hotlines for preventing trafficking and a national-level body that will coordinate interstate and transborder rescue activities and rehabilitation of victims are some of the new proposals in the revised Draft Trafficking Bill prepared by Women and Child Development Ministry.
The national-level agency will be called The National Bureau on Trafficking in Persons (NABTIP) and be headed by a “person of eminence and expertise in dealing with interstate crimes of trafficking in persons and has vast experience in law enforcement”, according to the copy of revised draft accessed.
NABTIP will have an independent investigative division called National Investigation Agency on Trafficking in Persons (NIATIP) with a team of investigators at the national level. This team will be headed by an officer serving in the rank of Additional Director General of Police either in a state or at the Centre.
Its function, however, will not clash with the roles of Anti-Human Trafficking Units (AHTU) already in place and nodal officers, both of whom will be responsible for investigating cases of trafficking.
According to the draft, “NIATIP will essentially be a referral agency, which will take up investigation of such crimes referred to it. NIATIP will be called upon to undertake only selected crimes of trans-border ramifications or wherever there is linkage of trafficking with three or more states. NIATIP can suo motu take over crimes having international ramifications.”
The investigating agency will also maintain a national database on trafficking, traffickers and conspirators.
It has also been proposed that a national level communication channel, including hotlines, need to be developed.
NABTIP will also have an advisory body headed by the Secretary, Women and Child Development Department, and representatives not below the level of Joint Secretary from Ministries of Home Affairs, Labour, Social Justice and Empowerment, Health, Information Technology and External Affairs.
The new draft has been prepared after the ministry received innumerable complaints about the shortcomings of its original draft bill on trafficking released in May. Some of those have now been rectified.
The title of the proposed legislation has been changed to India Trafficking in Person (Prevention) Act 2016 instead of Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill.
The new name has been derived from the existing law called Immoral Trafficking (Prevention) Act, 1956. This follows objections raised by NGOs which said the draft did not clearly mention whether it was a proposal for a new law or an amendment of the existing one.
There is now a proper definition of trafficking which was earlier missing. The definition derives from Section 370 of Indian Penal Code.
It states, “A person is said to commit trafficking in person if he (a) recruits,(b) transports, (c) harbours, (d) transfers,(e) receives,(f) restrains,(g) buys, (h) sells, or (i) trades a person or persons or causes or abets any of these acts, or participates in the same in any manner whatsoever for the purpose of exploitation.”
It also keeps the role of AHTU intact instead of creating a parallel system under an all new District Anti-Trafficking Committee as mentioned in the draft made public in May.
Changes have also been made to state that rehabilitation will take place under the Juvenile Justice Act, which has robust mechanisms for providing shelter to victims rescued. The reference to JJ Act, 2015 was missing earlier.
There are also several new propositions. The proposed legislation now has an additional criteria of “aggravated trafficking” with stricter punishment for offences under 17 different categories including trafficking of children, transgenders, exposing the victim to HIV/AIDS or where the offence results in pregnancy.
Under Section 36 there is a proposal for compensation for victims. There are also rules for protection of witnesses and victims.
This amended draft will be taken up for a fresh round of consultations next month. These consultations with stakeholders will be held in four different states. The first of these will take place on August 2 in New Delhi. (AGENCIES)

We need to build pressure on Indian batsmen: Blackwood
KINGSTON (Jamaica): Dismissed for a paltry 196 in their first innings, West Indies batsman Jermaine Blackwood said his side will now look to build pressure on the Indian batsmen tomorrow to make a come back in the second cricket Test.
West Indies skipper Jason Holder won the toss and elected to bat first, only to see his team being bowled out for just 196 runs but Blackwood defended the decision and said they should have batted for long period.
“Normally at Sabina Park, the wicket is going to have a little bit in it for the pace bowlers for a couple hours. This track is different and has some grass so they will get assistance right through the match. It wasn’t a wrong decision to bat first but we just didn’t bat for a long period. I guess next time we will have to do that,” said Blackwood.
“We weren’t in any hurry to score runs. But you cannot just go there and keep losing wickets and not score runs. You have to go there with a positive mind set and any scoring opportunity that comes your way, you need to take it. So that’s what I did today,” he added.
Blackwood scored a counter-attacking run-a-ball 62, and his partnership with Marlon Samuels helped West Indies counter the Indian bowling after they had been reduced to 7/3.
“It is always good to play in front of my home crowd. This is the second time I am playing for the West Indies in front of them. I was feeling confident but I was also a bit tentative at the start because you always want to make runs at your home ground,” he said.
“So it was a good feeling getting some runs today and I was happy that I was able to help the team’s cause and get back in touch. And that is just normally how I play, ever since I started playing. So that’s my natural game. I try to score my first 20-25 runs quickly and tried to use the pace of the ball,” he added.
R Ashwin’s 5-52, his second successive five-wicket haul on tour and his 18th overall in 34 Tests, and opener Lokesh Rahul’s unbeaten 75 put India in a commanding position as they reached 126/1 at stumps on day one.
“This India attack is a world-class attack and you have the Test no.1 bowler in Ashwin. He is very experienced and a very good bowler. The seamers are very consistent with their line and length, and they are bowling to a plan. So they are playing on our minds,” Blackwood said.
“As batsmen we have to go and counter that, try to go against that plan, assess conditions and score runs at the same time. So this is a very tough challenge against a very good attack.
“Tomorrow we just need to worry about getting ten wickets. So the boys will go home and have a good night’s rest, come back fresh tomorrow morning and have a go at them as we try to build some pressure,” he said. (AGENCIES)

ED arrests suspended Gujarat IAS officer for money laundering
AHMEDABAD: The Enforcement Directorate arrested suspended Gujarat-cadre IAS officer Pradeep Sharma today in connection with a money laundering case.
Officials said Sharma had been booked under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) based on an FIR of the Gujarat CID. He was arrested after he reached the office of the ED here for interrogation.
They claimed that the 1994-batch officer was not cooperating with the investigators so his custodial interrogation was necessary.
The Supreme Court had recently vacated an interim stay on his arrest after the ED filed an affidavit seeking his arrest in the case.
The case pertains to sanction of government land in Bhuj for industrial use to Ms Welspun India Limited, and its group companies, Welspun Power and Steel and Welspun Gujarat Style Roharan, in 2004 when Sharma was the District Collector and Chairman of the District Land Evaluation and Pricing Committee.
The central agency’s probe in the case found that Sharma had allegedly “sanctioned huge land at cheaper price to Ms Welspun India Ltd. And its sister concerns Ms Welspun Gujarat Stahi Rohren, Ms Welspun Power and Steel company by manipulative acts in gross violation of norms, instructions and guidelines as laid down by the state government of Gujarat”.
Through this allotment, Sharma, in connivance with some others, “has allegedly caused financial losses to the state government to the tune of Rs 1.20 crore (approx)”, the agency said.
“Against this favour, he has received gain to the tune of Rs 22 lakh in the name of his wife Shyamal P Sharma within a short period of 15 months by just investing Rs 1 lakh (in January 2008) in one Ms Value Packaging,” the ED probe report said.
The ED invoked PMLA alleging that the money was first deposited in his wife’s overseas bank account and then transferred to his account in violation of the Act.
The CID had arrested Sharma in this case and he later got bail.
The ED suspects that Sharma is the beneficiary of an alleged undisclosed Swiss bank account. It has attached Sharma’s assets worth Rs 75 lakh in this case.
Sharma had earlier filed a petition in the Supreme Court alleging that he was being victimised by the then Narendra Modi government in Gujarat and had sought a CBI inquiry into the cases against him. However, the Supreme Court had rejected his application. (AGENCIES)

‘Agents can charge up to Rs 5K from people joining NPS online’
NEW DELHI: In order to encourage financial agents, popularly called POP, to promote pension schemes, the PFRDA has allowed them to collect service charges between Rs 5 and Rs 5,000 from subscribers joining NPS via online platform.
ENPS platform has been introduced to provide subscribers the facility to open NPS account online and make contributions thereto.
The service charges would be applicable only to the subscribers who are associated with any of the Points of Presence (POPs) from and also to the subscribers who have opened account through PAN and bank KYC verification on eNPS platform.
With a view to incentivising POPs to “actively promote and distribute” NPS, it was suggested that PFRDA may consider allowing some service charges to the POPs as is the case of other financial products particularly for transactions where first time on boarding of the subscriber in the NPS had been through the intervention of POPs.
Accordingly, the regulator said that it has been decided to to introduce, in addition to the payment gateway charges, service charge on contribution through eNPS to the associated POP of the subscriber on the date of making contribution.
“The service charges to be recovered…Would be 0.05 per cent of the contribution amount ad valorem, subject to minimum of Rs 5 and maximum of Rs 5,000 per transaction,” the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) said in a circular.
The service charges collected through eNPS platform would be paid to the concerned associated POP on quarterly basis after reconciliation of the account by CRA and Trustee Bank.
NPS Trust will authorise the payment of these collected service charges to the POPs.
However, these charges would not be applicable to the subscribers who have opened account through Aadhaar mode on eNPS platform.
Various facilities (like opening Permanent Retirement Account, contributing to NPS) are provided through the entities known as POPs appointed by the PFRDA. (AGENCIES)

Industrial hazards: NDRF plans nation-wide combat drills
NEW DELHI: In order to check its preparedness to handle chemical and industrial disasters, the NDRF would conduct multiple mock drills at large industrial installations in various states.
The central force, also tasked to tackle possible Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) accidents, apart from responding to natural and man made disasters, has chalked out a programme where at least 55 mock drills will be held across the country at large industrial sites between August and February next year.
In order to ensure the participation of all stakeholders, NDRF Director General O P Singh has written to the Chief Secretaries of all states and Union Territories in this regard.
“Though various security instructions and drills are already in place, a need is felt to educate and sensitise the various stakeholders on this issue. Towards this, joint mock exercises with NDRF can be planned in major multi-hazard industries and clusters of medium-level units. These mock exercises will go a long way in saving precious lives and property,” the letter, accessed, said.
As per data, there are about 1,750 Major Accident Hazard (MAH) units and small and medium-sized industries in the country and many more new such industries are being established.
A report prepared with regard to these hazards says chemical accidents can occur due to multiple reasons like lack of safety measures, technical breakdown or human error.
A senior official said these mock drills will help prepare contingency plans and fine-tune the standard operating procedures to be undertaken to not only contain such accidents but also effectively combat them.
Such accidents, it said, initiate a series of uncontrolled physio-chemical phenomenon such as runaway chemical reactions, large spills, fires and explosions.

Govt set to face opposition over bill seeking to amend Enemy Property Act
NEW DELHI: The government is set to face resistance in passage of the bill which seeks to amend the Enemy Property Act, with major opposition parties Congress, Samajwadi Party, JD(U) and CPI opposing its key provisions.
The Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Bill seeking to make changes in the Enemy Property Act, 1968, is listed in Rajya Sabha for being taken up this week.
The Bill was passed by Lok Sabha on March 9. Later, the matter was referred to a 23-member select committee of the Rajya Sabha. Representatives of SP, Congress, JD(U) and CPI had submitted dissent notes in the Committee’s report.
The Committee, headed by BJP MP Bhupendra Yadav, had recommended that once the government implements the proposed amendments to dispose of the enemy property by selling it, the interest of the present occupant/tenant may be taken care of for the time being so that the tenants are not unsettled all of a sudden or the running business of the financial institutions/PSUs does not get disrupted.
“In our considered view, the provisions of the present Bill violates the very basic principle of natural justice, human rights and settled principles of law. Furthermore, it adversely affects and results in punishing lakhs of Indian citizens and will have no effect on any enemy government,” the dissent note had said.
The representatives of the four parties K C Tyagi (JD-U), K Rahman Khan, P L Punia, Hussain Dalwai (all Congress), D Raja (CPI) and Javed Ali Khan (SP) said the 1968 law is a very balanced piece of legislation as it recognised that enmity is not permanent and Indian citizens should not be deprived of their rights including inheritance and succession.
Last month, the government had promulgated an ordinance for the third time to amend enemy property act as the Bill is still pending in Rajya Sabha after being approved by Lok Sabha.
After the wars of 1965 and 1971 led to migration of people from India to Pakistan, the government took over the properties and companies of such persons who had obtained Pakistani citizenship and designated them as ‘enemy properties’. (AGENCIES)

India U-16 team blank Sportfreunde Siegen FC 5-0
NEW DELHI Komal struck twice as the Indian U-16 football team scripted a resounding victory, defeating German lower division outfit, Sportfreunde Siegen 5-0 at Duisburg, Germany.
Komal was aided by Aman Chetri, Narender and Rakip to take it away from the German boys.
Sportefreunde Siegen earned an early corner in 3rd minute but Amarjit saw it off to avert the danger. In the 14th minute, Komal received it from Rakip and did no mistake to tap it home leaving the opponent goalie aghast.
At the stroke of the half-hour mark, Amarjit squared a long ball to Sanjeev who unleashed a power-packed shot but the goalie punched it. On collecting the ball on the rebound, Aman Chetri doubled the lead from the close range.
The boys went to the dressing room with a comfortable lead of two goals, thanks to the goals by Komal and Aman.
Nicolai opted to tweak with his strategies in the second half as he introduced as many as five changes. Tamal, Joysana, Hendry, Narender and Saurabh were introduced on the course of the match to test their mettle.
It was a bad day in the office for the homies as their ace striker miscued the best opportunity to opening the goalmouth on 51 minutes when his penalty kick hovered over the crossbar.
Komal completed his brace when he tapped the ball from an immaculate pass unleashed by Boris from 30-yards out.
The show was still left as Narender etched his name in the scoresheet within four minutes. Komal took a long corner and the super-sub blasted the roof of the net from a well-taken leap over the opponent defender.
More humiliation was left for the Sportfreunde Siegen boys as Rakip nailed the final one in the coffin two minutes to the final whistle. (AGENCIES)

Court issues non-bailable warrant against SSP, Srinagar
SRINAGAR: Chief Judicial Magistrate, Srinagar has issued non-bailable warrant against Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Srinagar for failing to register FIR against a police officer allegedly involved in killing a youth inside his house on the city outskirts recently.
CJM Masarat Shaheen while rejecting the application of SSP seeking exemption from personal appearance, issued non-bailable warrant against him for failing to register FIR against Deputy Superintendent of Police (Dy SP) Yasir Qadri as directed by the court earlier.
The police officer is accused to have killed a youth Shabir Ahmad Mir inside his house at Bypass Tengpora when there were some protests on the main road. The court directed Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Central Kashmir to execute the order.
The prosecution while defending the police official informed the court that the police has already lodged an FIR under sections 1479 rioting), 148 (rioting armed with deadly weapon), 307 (attempt to murder), 436 (Mischief by fire or explosive substance) and 152 RPC (Assaulting or obstructing public servant when suppressing riot) RPC, in which the deceased youth has been named as accused. Police also alleged that Shabir was leading a procession on the day he was killed.
However, the parents of the youth alleged that Shabir was shot dead by the DySP from point blank range inside their house. Rejecting the police argument, the CJM directed SSP Srinagar Amit Kumar on Thursday to lodge the second FIR against accused DySP and file the copy of the FIR before the court within 24 hours.
However, the SSP has not filed FIR against the police officer and instead sought exemption from personal appearance. (AGENCIES)

26 killed as floods hit van carrying wedding party in Pak
PESHAWAR: At least 26 people, including children and women, were killed and three others injured today when a vehicle carrying a marriage party was swept away by flash floods in northwest Pakistan.
The incident took place when the ill-fated vehicle was caught in flooding in Tabai area while travelling from Bara to Bazaar Zakha Khel in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The dead include 18 children, six women and two men. The injured are all men, said Subedar Hikmat Khan Afridi, Line Officer Landi Kotal Khyber Agency.
Rescue teams have retrieved the bodies and shifted them to a hospital in Landi Kotal, an official said.
Flash floods triggered by torrential rains have badly affected Pakistan’s restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in recent years.
The flooding has been linked by some scientists to climate change.
According to National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), about 55 people have been killed and 35 others injured due to heavy rains in different parts of the country.
Annual spring and monsoon rains claim many lives each year in Pakistan, especially in rural areas where poorly built homes are susceptible to collapse.
Over 120 people were killed in rains and landslides killed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan region in April.
Over 80 people were killed and almost 300,000 affected due to heavy rains last summer in Pakistan.
Nearly 2,000 people were killed and millions others badly affected in the worst flooding in 2010 that covered almost a fifth of the country’s total land mass. (AGENCIES)

800 jobless Indians starving in Jeddah, Swaraj steps in to help
NEW DELHI : Nearly 800 Indian workers are reportedly starving for the last three days in Saudi city of Jeddah after losing their jobs and Minister of State for External Affairs VK Singh is traveling to the Gulf nation to sort out the issue.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia has been directed to serve food to them and that she was monitoring the situation on an hourly basis.
Her response came following a tweet by a man who said around 800 Indians are starving for the last three days in Jeddah and sought her intervention.
“We have asked @IndianEmbRiyadh to provide free ration to the unemployed Indian workers in Saudi Arabia,” she tweeted.
Swaraj said Indians in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were facing various problems relating to their work and wage and that the “matters are much worse” in Saudi Arabia.
She said MoS External Affairs M J Akbar will take up the issue with Kuwait and Saudi authorities.
“My colleagues @Gen_VKSingh will go to Saudi Arabia to sort out these matters and @MJakbar will take up with Kuwait and Saudi authorities.
“I assure you that no Indian worker rendered unemployed in Saudi Arabia will go without food. I am monitoring this on hourly basis,” she said.
Swaraj said a large number of Indians have lost their jobs in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and that their employers have not paid wages and closed down their factories.
“As a result our brothers and sisters in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are facing extreme hardship,” she said, adding while the situation in Kuwait is “manageable”, matters are much “worse” in Saudi Arabia.
Later, Swaraj posted pictures of food being provided to the Indian workers. (AGENCIES)

Curfew remains in force in some parts of Kashmir Valley
SRINAGAR: Barring parts of Srinagar city, Anantnag and Pampore towns, curfew was today lifted from Kashmir even as normal life remained disrupted due to the strike called by separatists.
A police official said curfew was lifted from most parts of the Valley but restrictions on assembly of four or more people continued in entire Kashmir.
“Curfew is in place only in five police station areas of Srinagar city — Nowhatta, Khanyar, Rainawari, Safakadal and Maharajgunj, Anantnag town and Pampore town,” he said.
Authorities had yesterday imposed curfew and restrictions across Kashmir to thwart a call by separatist camp for march to historic Jamia Masjid.
More than 100 persons including 46 security personnel were injured in the clashes reported from at least 70 places across the Valley.
Meanwhile, a motorcyclist died in an accident last night.
Abdul Ahad Ganai, who was travelling on motorcycle with his son at Hardapunzu in Beerwah area of Budgam district, hit a wire laid on the road for blocking traffic. Both the father-son duo were injured in the accident but Ganai later succumbed to injuries, a police spokesman said.

Refrain from playing politics on terrorism: Cong to J&K CM
NEW DELHI: Congress today asked Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to refrain from playing politics on the issue of terrorism, dubbing as “unfortunate” her remarks over the killing of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani.
“It is unfortunate and sad. Elected governments should not play politics on the issue of terrorism,” party’s chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala told reporters.
He at the same time held the PDP-BJP Government responsible for the situation in the Kashmir Valley. “On one side, you talk of showing red eyes … And on the other shed tears for the traitors”.
His remarks came amid reports that Mehbooba, in a bid to control the damage over continuing protests, yesterday said the security forces were not aware of Wani’s presence during the raid at his hideout in which he was killed. (AGENCIES)

Need to have dialogue with people of Kashmir: VK Singh
NEW DELHI: There is a need to have dialogue with the people of Kashmir who are “as patriotic as” those in rest of the country and they must be given opportunities to grow to bring peace to the Valley, Union Minister V K Singh today said.
Speaking at the inaugural session of a symposium ‘Peace, People and Possibilities in Kashmir’, the Minister of State for External Affairs, without naming Pakistan, said people across the border try to create disturbances in the peace process every time such an effort is made.
Senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar, who too addressed the event, said history relating to Kashmir has been “distorted” and alleged Pakistan is exploiting confusion among people of the Valley to further their design.
“I feel whatever is going on at present is supported by people from across the border. We will need to find a solution for this patiently, with peace, conscience. Then there is no doubt peace will prevail in Kashmir.
“Kashmir is integral part of India. We must tell people that Kashmiris are no different. They are as patriotic as other Indians,” Singh said during the event. (AGENCIES)

Govt not in favour of abolishing death penalty: Kiren Rijiju
NEW DELHI: Government today said in Rajya Sabha that it is “not in favour” of abolishing the capital punishment considering the “prevailing circumstances” in the country.
“The prevailing circumstances in which we are living does not warrant abolition of death penalty,” Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said while replying to a private member’s resolution moved by D Raja (CPI) for the abolition of capital punishment in the country.
India has its own basis of formulating laws and it has to respect the “sentiments of the people”, Rijiju added.
He said there are several provisions in the Constitution such as Articles 71, 134 and 161 for commuting of death sentence and the Supreme Court has made it clear that it should be used in “exceptional circumstances” and as an “unavoidable alternative”.
Enumerating the remedies available regarding death sentence, he said even if capital punishment has been awarded by a lower court and has been upheld by the High Court, the person can approach the Supreme Court. (AGENCIES)
