Tuesday June 20, 2017 9 BJP stumps Oppn... take it as such." The BJP's pick, a former two-time Rajya Sabha MP, known more as a Dalit champion than a Hindutva ideo- logue, had not figured in the names that were doing the rounds. The rumour mills had put BJP veterans L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Jharkhand Governor Draupadi Murmu as amongst the probables for presi- dent. Modi also spoke to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Manmohan Singh to seek their support for Kovind, whose election seems a virtual cer- tainty given the NDA's numbers in parliament and assembly. The Congress was unimpressed, however, and accused the ruling party of making a "unilateral announcement". The BJP's efforts for a consensus was nothing but a "PR exercise", said party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad. "They informed us after announcing this decision so there is no scope for consensus now... We were not expect- ing this from the ruling party," he said. That Kovind was a virtual unknown -- he contested and lost the Lok Sabha election in 1991 from Ghattampur in Uttar Pradesh and the 2007 assembly election from Bhognipur -- gave heft to many detractors in the opposi- tion. As Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee expressed her reservations, her party colleague Derek O' Brien took a dig at the unassuming and relatively unknown Kovind. "How many of you logged onto Wikipedia today? I did," he said sarcastically. An opposition leader said they might field former Congress minister and speaker Meira Kumar, also a Dalit, as their candidate. However, there were also those in the opposition who kept their options open. BSP chief Mayawati said her party could not be "neg- ative" to a Dalit candidate. However, she stopped short of expressing support for Kovind and said her party would be "positive" provided the opposition did not field any Dalit. JD(U) chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also expressed his "personal happiness" but did not com- mit his party's support. Shiv Sena, a BJP ally which has played hot and cold over supporting it on the presidential candidate, said it would take a call soon. But other parties like the TRS, which is in power in Telangana, were unambiguous in their support. YSRCP, an opposition party in Andhra Pradesh, has already offered its support. Besides, almost all other BJP allies have announced their support to Kovind with LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan calling it a "political masterstroke". The electoral college, which elects the president through the system of proportional representation, com- prises elected MPs and members of state legislative assemblies -- a total of 4,896 voters including 4,120 MLAs and 776 elected MPs. The total strength of the electoral college is 10,98,903. The NDA is short of majority by barely 20,000 votes but with several non-NDA parties pledging their support to its candidate, the ruling block now enjoys a comfort- able majority. The BJP is also hopeful of support from the BJD and the AIADMK, which are in power in Odisha and Tamil Nadu respectively. 19 Executive Magistrates... in the district and to have a vibrant machinery of mag- istracy for coordination with the police and prompt action under the Criminal Procedure Code, a proposal was sub- mitted to the government for vesting powers of executive magistrates in these officers, he said. The DC said the total number of executive magistrates in the district has gone up to 61 with these appointments. As per the notification issued by the department of law, justice and parliamentary affairs, the 19 officers have been appointed as executive magistrates class-I as per provisions of the superintendence, direction and control of the District Magistrate, Rajouri. All these executive magistrates have been empowered by the state government to exercise their power in whole district and may be assigned specific areas and assign- ments by the district magistrates, he said. "The sectoral Executive Magistrates will look after spe- cific areas to maintain law and order, coordinate with police, essential services departments and public," he said. "This step has been taken by the district administration for having in place additional magistrates apart from SDMs and Tehsildars who are pre-occupied with public service delivery and public dealing," he added. This will also enable enhanced Police-Magistracy coor- dination in the district for keeping a vigil on the elements disturbing law and order or security of state and provide for prompt action, the officer added. Four DySPs transferred... DySP PC Chadoora as DySP PC Srinagar vice Ghulam Hassan Sheikh. Dr Azhar Rashid, DySP IR-18 Bn has been trans- ferred and posted as DySP PC Srinagar against avail- able vacancy and Ravinder Singh, DySP IR 9th Bn has been transferred and posted as DySP IR 15th Bn against available vacancy. They shall be relieved forth- with, read the order. Mehbooba reviews 4... Similarly, Pampore and Bijbehara by pass projects are almost completed and likely to be thrown open by next month, she was informed. Terming the Srinagar-Jammu widening project as crit- ically important for the State, the Chief Minister said on completion the project is going to change the entire pro- file of the State and its people. She asked the project implementing agencies to factor in this objective and complete their projects without delaying any further. The Chief Minister was informed that the Jammu- Udhampur stretch of the National Highway has been completed while work is on at the Udhampur-Ramban and Ramban-Banihal stretches with varying degrees of completion. During the meeting, the Chief Minister also reviewed the progress achieved on land acquisition and other ini- tial procedures on the ambitious Srinagar and Jammu semi ring road projects. She was informed that bids have been invited for the Jammu project while work is going on the Srinagar project. All the land issues of the two projects would be settled by the end of next month, she was informed. Minister for R&B, Naeem Akhtar; Chairman, NHAI, Y S Malik; Chief Secretary, B. B. Vyas; Principal Secretary to Chief Minister, Rohit Kansal; Commissioner-Secretary, Revenue, Muhammad Ashraf Mir; Commissioner-Secretary, Forests, Mohammad Afzal Bhat; Secretary, R& B, Sanjeev Verma; Divisional Commissioners of Kashmir and Jammu; IGP, Traffic, Jagjit Kumar; Deputy Commissioners of Srinagar, Anantnag, Pulwama, Ramban, Ganderbal, Jammu; rep- resentatives project construction companies; officers of NHAI and State Government were present on the occa- sion. Jammu Congress plays ... masters religiously. Even as National Conference lead- ers were spilling venom and challenging Jammu and Kashmir's accession to Indian domain, openly and brazenly, the Congressmen in Jammu didn't utter a word. They have not only lost their political understand- ing but conscience as well. It is because of this dejection and desperation that the Congress has finally abandoned their 'Pappu.' It must be a real shock for few towering State leaders around the Janpath, who feel disempow- ered because of their Pradesh Unit having gone into deep slumber. The Jammu Congress headquarters, which till yester- years was humming with activity and singing 'Gandhi' songs wore a deserted look on 19th June, the birthday of their all powerful Vice President. The headquarters had nothing of the sort that would give feel of celebration, as it did a few years ago. There were neither cakes nor the activists who would chant, Happy Birthday to You. Rahul Gandhi has been abandoned by his loyalists the same way as the Jammu people have shunned the Congress. Once a premier party has completed full circle and it is now a reality of the past. HC stays selection ... to mismanagement caused by short notice transfer of the candidates from the Kishtwar center to the said cen- ter to the said center. In the result written examination of the petitioners and all the candidates of the center, namely Boys Secondary School, Bhadarwah was not held and they were assured that their test will be held at later stage. Justice Janak Raj Kotwal after hearing Advocate Nitin Bhasin for the petitioners observed that grievance of the petitioners is that without conducting the written test of the candidates allotted the aforementioned center, the J and K SSB is going ahead with the comple- tion of the selection process in spite of representations in this regard by the petitioners, issued notice to the respon- dents and in the meanwhile ordered that subject to objec- tions and till next date before the Bench, selection process qua advertisement notifications No. 05 of 2015 and 6 of 2015 to the extent of graduate level posts shall stay. Missing constable death... the status report filed today and sought a detailed and comprehensive report. Petitioner M K Pandita, who sought an independent probe into the constable's death, said that there was foul play in cop's killing. Bhat's body was recovered after 21 days on June 7. The apex court had on June 8, issued notice to the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir Police on the plea of Pandita, who also hails from Kupwara and sought the status report on the investigation. Pandita alleged DIG Ghulam Hassan Bhat on May 31 had came out with a version saying that the SPO had allegedly confessed to killing Sameer as the latter had sexually assaulted him on May 13. Accused escapes; jumps ... the road. However, on the assurance of the SDPO Akhnoor DySP Manish Anand, the protestors dispersed while search to locate the body will be launched tomorrow with the first light. 53 College Principals..

Yatra has been going on for decades and the people here have treated the pilgrims with unique hospitality. They have always been hospitable, decent and received the pilgrims as their guests," he said. Meanwhile, Congress leader Saifuddin Soz said on Monday that he welcomed senior Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani's assurance to pilgrims that there was no threat to pilgrims participating in the annual Amarnath Yatra, who have for decades been treated with the "best hospitality". Soz issued a statement saying that Geelani's reference to the pilgrims as "our revered guests" who would be received by the people of the Valley as per the age-old tra- ditions, "is the feeling of the general run of Kashmiris." Soz also appealed to the media not to make the situa- tion in the Valley worse by vilifying the people of Kashmir. "Geelani Saheb's condemnation of short-sighted ele- ments in India's civil society, represented by a section of electronic media, is also correct," he said. "On my part, I have tried to warn these elements that through the vilification of Kashmiris, no purpose would be served for the Union of India and this absurd vilifica- tion has only been adding to the fire of deep anger and alienation of Kashmiris." Without naming them, Soz added that he had refused to talk to "two TV channels which are known for vilifica- tion of Kashmiris and told them plainly that they were playing a nefarious game which would never yield any advantage to the Union of India." !!

BJP stumps Oppn...take it as such." The BJP's pick, a former two-time Rajya Sabha MP,

known more as a Dalit champion than a Hindutva ideo-logue, had not figured in the names that were doing therounds.

The rumour mills had put BJP veterans L K Advani,Murli Manohar Joshi and Jharkhand GovernorDraupadi Murmu as amongst the probables for presi-dent.

Modi also spoke to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi andformer prime minister Manmohan Singh to seek theirsupport for Kovind, whose election seems a virtual cer-tainty given the NDA's numbers in parliament andassembly.

The Congress was unimpressed, however, and accusedthe ruling party of making a "unilateral announcement".The BJP's efforts for a consensus was nothing but a "PRexercise", said party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad.

"They informed us after announcing this decision sothere is no scope for consensus now... We were not expect-ing this from the ruling party," he said.

That Kovind was a virtual unknown -- he contested andlost the Lok Sabha election in 1991 from Ghattampur inUttar Pradesh and the 2007 assembly election fromBhognipur -- gave heft to many detractors in the opposi-tion. As Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjeeexpressed her reservations, her party colleague Derek O'Brien took a dig at the unassuming and relativelyunknown Kovind. "How many of you logged ontoWikipedia today? I did," he said sarcastically.

An opposition leader said they might field formerCongress minister and speaker Meira Kumar, also aDalit, as their candidate.

However, there were also those in the opposition whokept their options open.

BSP chief Mayawati said her party could not be "neg-ative" to a Dalit candidate. However, she stopped short ofexpressing support for Kovind and said her party wouldbe "positive" provided the opposition did not field anyDalit.

JD(U) chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumaralso expressed his "personal happiness" but did not com-mit his party's support.

Shiv Sena, a BJP ally which has played hot and coldover supporting it on the presidential candidate, said itwould take a call soon.

But other parties like the TRS, which is in power inTelangana, were unambiguous in their support. YSRCP,an opposition party in Andhra Pradesh, has alreadyoffered its support.

Besides, almost all other BJP allies have announcedtheir support to Kovind with LJP chief Ram VilasPaswan calling it a "political masterstroke".

The electoral college, which elects the presidentthrough the system of proportional representation, com-prises elected MPs and members of state legislativeassemblies -- a total of 4,896 voters including 4,120MLAs and 776 elected MPs.

19 Executive Magistrates...in the district and to have a vibrant machinery of mag-

istracy for coordination with the police and prompt actionunder the Criminal Procedure Code, a proposal was sub-mitted to the government for vesting powers of executivemagistrates in these officers, he said.

Soz issued a statement saying that Geelani's referenceto the pilgrims as "our revered guests" who would bereceived by the people of the Valley as per the age-old tra-ditions, "is the feeling of the general run of Kashmiris."

Soz also appealed to the media not to make the situa-tion in the Valley worse by vilifying the people of Kashmir.

"Geelani Saheb's condemnation of short-sighted ele-ments in India's civil society, represented by a section ofelectronic media, is also correct," he said.

"On my part, I have tried to warn these elements thatthrough the vilification of Kashmiris, no purpose wouldbe served for the Union of India and this absurd vilifica-tion has only been adding to the fire of deep anger andalienation of Kashmiris."

Without naming them, Soz added that he had refusedto talk to "two TV channels which are known for vilifica-tion of Kashmiris and told them plainly that they wereplaying a nefarious game which would never yield anyadvantage to the Union of India."
