MLA stuns House, says Minister took Rs 40000 as graft
My father fell victim to political conspiracy,
order CBI probe: Lone

By Mohinder Verma

JAMMU, Jan 11: Massive sloganeering and wild protest against the Coalition Government by the entire Opposition were witnessed in the Legislative Assembly today following an independent MLA from Sangrama accusing the Government of shielding ‘killers’ of his Minister father and made sensational disclosures about the corruption at the level of Cabinet Ministers, leading to the adjournment of the House.

The MLA Shoaib Lone openly raised accusing fingers towards People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on whose ticket his father Dr Ghulam Nabi Lone contested the 2002 elections and became Minister of State for Education after the formation of coalition Government and said that Dr Lone was killed under a planned political conspiracy after he showed dissidence towards the party’s leadership.

The trouble for the Coalition Government started when Shoaib Lone, while participating in the debate on Governor’s address, said "who says there is no corruption in the State", adding "even Civil Secretariat, seat of the Government, has become a hub of corruption".

"I was forced to pay Rs 40,000 to a Special Assistant of a Cabinet Minister to get my sister’s genuine work done in the Civil Secretariat", he said, adding "the Minister through the Special Assistant even told me that I have been given 20 per cent rebate for being MLA otherwise I had to squeeze out more money to get the job done".

He expressed willingness to disclose the name of the Minister in the House itself if he gets assurance that Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad would take stern action against the corrupt Minister.

The entire House was taken aback with the sensational disclosure of the MLA with Opposition particularly National Conference starting massive sloganeering against the Government.

"Shame, shame, shame...", "Corrupt Sarkar Hai Hai", "Chor Sarkar Hai Hai", "Minister ko Nanga Karo", "Corrupt Minister Ko Saza Do" and "Choron Ki Sarkar Ko Ek Dhakka Aur Do" continued to rent the House for about 10 minutes. Amidst sloganeering, the National Conference Members insisted Shoaib Lone to reveal the name of the Minister in the House.

Finding Treasury Benches in the piquant situation, Minister for Health and Medical Education Mangat Ram Sharma stood up and said "we will not spare the Minister and take stern action against him". Mr Sharma further said "it’s choice of the MLA to disclose the name of the Minister in the House or to the Chief Minister".

Although Opposition kept on pressurizing the MLA to disclose the name of corrupt Minister, the latter preferred to reveal the name to the Chief Minister and requested the Opposition to allow him to speak about the purpose for which he contested the election and shared platform with them.

"I usual remain absent from the Assembly as I get suffocated here (in the House) as nobody listens to you here", he said, adding "I am following Mr Azad in this Government just to get the justice. Justice on the killing of my father".

The emotional Shoaib Lone said: "I secured berth in the House with the sole intention to find out the killers of my father but it is very unfortunate that two persons, who were arrested in connection with the killing have been acquitted of the charges", adding "If I could not find out the killers of my father then there is no need of me being in the House".

Continuing venting ire to his feelings, he said "I am the victim of human rights violation. My father was not assassinated by militants but he fell victim to the well planned political conspiracy", adding "PDP was at the verge of split at the time of my father’s killing and he was not in the favour of party’s policies and programmes".

Mr Lone, who independently contested for MLA seat after his father’s death, announced in the House that he would resign from the Legislative Assembly if the Government doesn’t give assurance of CBI probe into his father’s killing.

"If Government will not order CBI probe it means the killers are being shielded by those in the corridors of power", he said and regretted that despite the fact that initial enquiry into the killing of his father pointed out serious security lapses, no action was taken by the Government.

How can an enquiry officer of the rank of Secretary can mention the name of a politician of Chief Minister’s level involved in the killing of my father, he questioned and said that only CBI enquiry can expose the persons behind the killing.

His accusations, however, taken as evidence by the Opposition parties for their allegations of political corruption against the State Government, who openly supported the demands of Mr Lone.

Leader of the Opposition Abdul Rahim Rather said "this boy has said which no one in the House had ever dared to till date", adding "he has the right to demand CBI inquiry and entire Opposition is with him in his demand".

As Minister for Health Mangat Ram Sharma tried to satisfy the House with the submission that the matter would be taken into consideration by the Chief Minister, who was not present in the House, Mr Rather said "Mr Speaker you are the custodian of the members’ rights. You should direct the Government to order CBI inquiry".

National Panthers Party MLAs Harsh Dev Singh and Balwant Singh Mankotia and NC’s Dr Mehboob Beg said "the absence of Chief Minister doesn’t mean Government has crippled", adding "Government should not have any reservation in ordering CBI inquiry if it feels that the enquiry conducted at the initial stage was fair".

Sharing entire Opposition’s concern, CPM Member Mohd Yousaf Tarigami said "what’s harm in ordering CBI enquiry if Government feels it has nothing to hide’.

PDP Member and Former Minister Ghulam Hassan Mir also came forward in the support of CBI enquiry and said "when Ministers and MLAs are not safe how will we defend our people", adding "why no action was taken after the initial enquiry report pointed out serious security lapses".

As the agitating Opposition was insisting the Speaker to assure the House and direct the Government for a CBI probe into the killing of former Minister of State for Education, the Speaker, finding the House in pandemonium, adjourned the proceedings.

Later, while talking to the media-persons Leader of the Opposition Abdul Rahim Rather said that MLA Shoaib Lone’s disclosures vindicated NC’s stand about political corruption.

Fight against corruption to continue: Azad

Excelsior Correspondent

Jammu, Jan 11: Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad today made it clear that his fight against corruption would continue with strong commitment notwithstanding the fact that the State would go through elections this year.

"Some people feel that the Assembly elections being round the corner, the Government might go slow on its war against corruption", Mr Azad said while delivering his speech at the 7th Conference of Departmental Vigilance Officers (DVO) organised by State Vigilance Organisation here and vehemently dispelled this view, saying his fight against the scourge would remain the core issue for his Government during 2008 as well. He said he wanted to see J&K as No. 1 transparent, accountable and honest State across the country.

He said there was no question of going back and made it clear that crusade against corruption would remain prime agenda of his Government. He said taking on corruption in the State was one of the main reasons for him to return to the State after being in national politics for three decades. He said he wanted to contribute his bit towards eradication of the menace in the State. He said some politicians and bureaucrats had developed apathy towards work culture and development activities as a corollary to the inertia and lethargy contracted due to literal hibernation they were in for several years of militancy in J&K.

Mr Azad asserted that he was committed to change this situation and asked the Vigilance Organization to go whole hog against the corrupt elements. He said the status or party affiliations of individuals would be no consideration in dealing with corrupt people. He said the Government had decided to replicate the Central Government’s Right to Information Act as it had strong teeth and would help make the State Government more accountable and transparent.

The Chief Minister took a serious view of the reports that some Departmental Vigilance Officers were drawing flak from their senior officers for exposing corruption in their departments and said the discouragement of these officers would be construed as tacit support to corruption. He said upright and honest whistle blowers helping the Government in bringing down corruption could be awarded out of turn promotion as encouragement.

Describing the trend as extremely unfortunate and a serious concern for the society, Mr Azad said that some corrupt officials after being caught and jailed for using corrupt practices to amass wealth try to fight elections and become people’s representatives and Ministers. He called for a serious and strong public opinion against such people and said that anybody so attempting to cover his misdeeds should even forfeit election deposit. "Unless such elements are taught a lesson by people, the Government efforts alone will not suffice", he said.

He called upon all politicians and Government officials in the State to rise to the occasion and deliver on the responsibilities thrown upon their shoulders by the society. He said public representatives and officers have to be extra cautious and offer an example for others to emulate. "The Caesar’s wife has to be above suspicion", he invoked Shakespeare to stress on the point that best examples have to be set at the top.

The Chief Minister alluded to his agenda for prosperous J&K and said that growth and development, the two thrust areas of his Government, were key for any State to prosper. He called for public support for his mission to see J&K as a developed and prosperous State.

Earlier, Mr Azad gave away mementos, certificates and cash prizes to officials and individuals for helping the Government in its war against corruption. Shyam Bijyal and Imam Din, Assistant Commissioner Development, Kathua and Ramban, respectively were given mementos and certificates while Altaf Hussain Teli, a contractor from Kulangam, Handwara and Mohammad Saleem Malla of Sangaldan, Gool received Rs. 51,000 cash award and certificate each. SP, Ashok Kumar and DySP, Ghulam Mohiuddin Andrabi of Vigilance Organisation were given CM’s Vigilance Medal for their contribution to drive against corruption. Shyam Bijyal dedicated this honour to his parents and teachers on the occasion.

Addressing the conference, Chief Secretary, B. R. Kundal laid stress on system change and greater involvement of people for effectively fighting corruption. He said there was need for more focus on prevention of the menace while dealing with the challenge.

Mr Kundal said that the role of the DVOs was a challenging one as it required being bold and upright for a person to function as a whistle blower. He said the Government would like to raise the level of DVOs and hoped the New Year would be more fruitful in combating corruption in the State. He hailed the idea of holding biennial conferences of DVOs and suggested that similar interactive meetings should be held at district level to create more awareness against corruption.

Earlier, State Vigilance Commissioner, Dr. Ashok Bhan in his welcome address gave a resume of the activities of his organization and said that offices of the organization would be set up at Leh, Poonch, Doda, Kupwara and Anantnag to bring in more effectiveness in its activities. He highlighted a mixture of preventive and punitive vigilance to check corruption and suggested that senior officers should be nominated as DVOs on full time basis.

Director General of Police, Kuldeep Khoda, Principal Secretary, General Administration Department, Khurshid Ahmad Ganai and senior civil and police officers were present.

Govt to set up Kashmiri Hindu Shrine Board
*To protect, manage KP shrines in Valley

By Sanjeev Pargal

JAMMU, Jan 11: After Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board (SMVDSB), Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) and proposed Shri Shiv Khori Shrine Board (SSKSB), the Government has now decided to constitute Kashmiri Hindu Shrine Board (KHSB) which will comprise of 12 members, two of whom will be official members to be nominated by the Government while 10 others will be elected in a prescribed manner.

The KHSB, which will have prime task to administer, manage and regulate Kashmiri Hindu shrines and preserve, protect, administer and use the properties notified under Section 5 of the Act, was a long pending demand of Kashmiri Pandits especially after their migration from Kashmir valley following reports that many of their sacred shrines had been encroached or damaged during nearly two decade long militancy.

The Board will manage and administer Endowment Fund in accordance with provisions of the Act and utilise it for upliftment of Kashmiri Hindus in the State, a bill titled Kashmiri Hindu Shrine and Religious Places (Management and Regulation Bill), 2008 which has been drafted by the Government for introduction in the Assembly, said.

The bill was scheduled to be introduced in the House today but was deferred.

The KHSB will make provisions for relief to indigent and destitute, undertake development activities for welfare of Kashmiri Hindus in the State and take all such steps which may be necessary to achieve objectives of the Act.

It may be mentioned here that Leader of Opposition Abdul Rahim Rather had also tabled a very similar bill in the Assembly a couple of years back. The Government had, at that time, promised to bring a bill on its own.

The Board will start functioning with commencement of the Act. Members of the first Board will be nominated by the Government, who will continue to function for a period of one year or till elections are conducted, whichever is earlier.

"If it is not possible to hold elections within specified period, the Government after recording reasons in writing will authorise continuance of first Board till elections are held and elected members assume their office. The Board will be a body corporate.

A member of the Board will hold office for a period of three years and will be eligible for re-nomination/re-election. The Board will have office bearers including president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, assistant secretary and assistant treasurer.

Only a Kashmiri Hindu above the age of 35 years will be eligible for nomination or election as a member of the Board. Also a person holding an office of profit under State or Centre Government or any corporation or body established under any law for the time being in force, a person who is a servant of any religious body or institution established under Act, a person who is a defaulter of any Kashmiri Hindu Shrine or religious place and a person who is not a permanent resident of the State will not be eligible for election or nomination to the Board.

As per the bill, there will be an established management committee for every district of Kashmir province comprising nine members, who shall be elected in accordance with the prescribed procedure. However, first committee to be constituted in respect of a district after commencement of the Act shall be nominated by the Board for a period which shall not exceed one year or till elections are held, whichever is earlier.

A Kashmiri Hindu, who is a registered voter for the State Legislative Assembly elections, will have a right to vote in elections to management committee of the district in which he is a registered voter. Members of the management committee shall in its first meeting elect from amongst themselves a president, a vice president, a secretary and a treasurer.

For election to district management committees, same conditions will be applicable as for election to the Board. However, for district committees, the person to be nominated or election shall belong to the same district.

Subject to overall superintendence and control of the Board, a management committee shall have same functions and will exercise same powers within the jurisdiction of the district concerned as are vested in the Board.

The Government will have powers to dissolve or supersede the Board and re-constitute another Board in accordance with the Act if it feels after due inquiry that the Board is not competent to perform it functions or persistently makes default in performing functions imposed on it or exceeds or abuses its powers. In case the Board is dissolved, the Government can appoint an Administrator who will perform all functions and exercise all powers of the Board for a period not exceeding six months or until constitution of another Board, whichever earlier.

The Board and the management committees will be eligible to seek and receive any donations, grants, offerings and ‘chadawa’ against proper receipt which will be deposited in a fund to be known as Endowment Fund.

The Board will be eligible to make bye-laws for carrying out purpose of the Act including manner and method by which elections to the Board and management committees will be conducted, time, place, procedure and conduct of business at the meetings, the facilities admissible and allowances payable to members of the Board and management committees for attending meetings and discharging other functions, custody and investment of Endowment Fund, form in which budget of the Board and the management committee shall be prepared, the form in which details of properties of Kashmiri Hindu shrines shall be maintained and the manner of authentication of decisions and orders of the Board.

"Most of the Kashmiri Pandits religious places are centres of heritage, having come up from time immemorial, as a continuous process. Their number is large being located in almost every nook and corner of the Valley. Traditionally, a large number of organisations or committees were controlling and managing affairs of these places but mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley due to militancy, these religious places by and large were rendered unmanaged and vulnerable to vandalism. Some of them were even torched by miscreants. Various sections of Kashmiri Pandit community had consistently been raising the issue in the State as well as at the national level for protection of religious places and properties. The matter has been agitated before the apex court", a statement, attached to the bill, said.

It added that there was an urgent need for management and control of all such shrines and religious places in an integrated manner as otherwise there will be a threat to their existence as well as revenue generating assets attached thereto. The properties of these shrines and religious places are also required to be identified, developed and maintained for being put to proper use.

"Such religious properties belonging to other ethnic groups are already taken care of through a unified and systematic control mechanism like Auqaf and Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee", the statement pointed out.

It said it was need of the hour that religious places of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley are given a holistic, unified and purposeful management. Extensive discussions on the subject in various forums have revealed that it is necessary to create a legal authority with the involvement of the community itself for management of these religious places and the properties attached thereto in a transparent and responsible manner, the statement added.

Gul throws papers on Minister, walks-out
NC again creates furore on colleges

Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Jan 11: Main Opposition National Conference again created furore in the Legislative Assembly today over the issue of degree colleges and grilled the Government.

"The Government has identified 64 kanals and two marlas of land for new campus of Government College for Women, Nawakadal but the work on the same has not been started", NC Member Mubarak Gul said during the Question Hour.

He said that during last budget session the Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad had announced that an amount of Rs 27 lakh was earmarked for the construction of boundary wall at the identified place but till today nothing has been done and only signboard is visible at the spot.

"What to talk of sanctioning one more college for the area, the Government has even failed to construct new campus of the already existing college", he expressed surprise and wanted to know from the Minister for Higher Education Gulchain Singh Charak as to when the construction of new campus will begin.

As Mr Charak said that JKPCC has furnished the cost offer for the proposed new campus and the same was under the examination of the Department, Mr Gul shouted "everything is on the papers despite the assurances by the Chief Minister".

The vociferous NC Member left the seat in anger, torn the papers of the written reply and threw them on the Minister before staging walk-out. Even after the walk-out by Mr Gul, the grilling of the Minister continued with Mian Altaf, Saifullah Mir and Ali Mohammad Sagar accusing Government of sanctioning colleges on political consideration.

"I have been demanding women’s college in the Kupwara for the past five years but the Government’s heart has not moved so far", Mir Saifullah shouted and said "Government should explain why Kupwara doesn’t fall under the criteria to get the College".

Mian Altaf asked the Minister to inform the House about the number of college buildings which have been constructed by the Government so far while Mushtaq Bukhari shouted "Sare College Galat Diye Hain".

Even People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief whip Abdul Rehman Veeri joined Opposition in exposing the Government and said "a college was sanctioned for the Bijbehara but it has not yet been decided by the Government as to which agency will construct the building".

Another Member Dr Manohar Lal said that the Government Degree College Billawar has been functioning in High School Dewal and even land has not been acquired by the Government to construct the building.

However, the Minister could not give specific replies to the Members leading to noisy disorder.

MiG-21 drops fuel tank on Sopore village

Excelsior Special Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Jan 11: In an unprecedented incident, a fighter aircraft of Indian Air Force (IAF) today jettisoned an 11-ft long high grade aluminium fuel tank in the air which came crashing down on the house of one Mohammad Maqbool Sheikh in Janwara locality of Sopore township in Baramulla district. Sheikh's house suffered some damage even as he and all of his family members had a narrow escape.

Informed sources told EXCELSIOR that the 11-ft long aluminum cylinder, which has the shape of a common missile, fell on the attic of Mohammad Maqbool Sheikh at 1130 hours and dismantled a part of his rooftop. Sheikh and his family members had a providential escape when the fuel tank fell on the front courtyard after hitting the CGI-sheet roofing. Officials said that nobody was injured. They said that the fuel tank was found empty but still it weighed around 60 to 70 kg. Marking of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) was found boldly visible on surface of the tank.

"Fatal casualty would have been certain in case it would have fallen on a human being or a vehicle", SHO Sopore Shafeeq Ahmed said.

Quoting officials of security forces, SHO Sopore said that the fuel tank had been dropped by the pilot of a MiG fighter from an altitude of 30,000 ft. He said it was probably for the first time that a fuel tank had been dropped from an aircraft in Kashmir valley. None of IAF officials visited Sopore to take stock of the situation and conduct an examination of the spot in Janwara locality.

Defence spokesman at headquarters 15 Corps, Lt Col A K Mathur, said that IAF had immediately constituted a court of inquiry which would conduct an inspection of the spot on Saturday and investigate the circumstances that had made the pilot of a MiG-21 jettison the empty fuel tank mid-air. He said that the authorities were concerned over the incident but relieved over the fact that there had been no loss of life or injury. He asserted that the IAF would pay whatever compensation was assessed by the experts to the house-owner.

According to the reports available with Col Mathur, a MiG-21 was on a training mission when its engine developed a serious snag. He said that rather than bailing out and letting the flying machine drop on the civilian population, the pilot resorted to the risky option of emptying and jettisoning the aviation fuel tank. "Had he not done it with his impressive application of mind, the aircraft would have crashed on the populous town and caused extensive damage to life and properties", Col Mathur argued. He said that after relieving the aircraft of its external detachable, the pilot made a successful landing at Srinagar air base.
