THE TIMES OF INDIA, KOLKATA *THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2017 7TIMES NATION

New Delhi: “But why are yousaying all this? You were do-ing business in Iran from whe-re you were abducted. Youmust tell the truth,” an angryAvanti Jadhav interruptedher son Kulbhushan Jadhavon Monday when she and daughter-in-law Chetnawere brought face-to-facewith the Indian national heldin Pakistan.

Jadhav had bizarrely gree-ted the two women by acknow-ledging that he was, as allegedby Pakistan and contested byIndia, indeed an Indian spyand had engineered a spate ofterror attacks.

Speaking as if he was pro-grammed, Jadhav went on toregurgitate the details of Pa-

kistan’s sprawling charge-sheet against him.

His remarks were so out ofplace in terms of reactionsthat might be expected on me-eting his family after 22months of captivity, theystruck his mother as too sur-real to digest. The 70-year-oldwoman managed to summon,despite being in an intimida-ting setting with Pakistani of-ficers watching, the resolve totell her son not to parrot thescript handed to him by thePakistan army-ISI which are

his captors.Avanti’s courage may ha-

ve put a spanner in the worksof Pakistanis who had plan-ned, sources here suspect, touse the recording of Jadhav’s“confession” to his wife andmother about him being a ter-rorist, to bolster their narrati-ve against him and India.

The intervention also vali-dated India’s decision to insistthat Jadhav’s mother accom-pany wife Chetna. Pakistanhad initially given a visa onlyto Chetna but relented when

India pressed that motherAvanti should also be allowedaccess.

The Indian side fears thatPakistan could still leak doc-tored versions of Jadhav’sconversation with the wo-men, but is relieved that Avan-ti’s fortitude interrupted theplan and would force Islama-bad to do a “ scissor-and-paste” job.

Avanti’s presence also en-sured that Jadhav’s wife retai-ned her calm in the coerciveatmosphere in which the mee-ting took place.

India was wary of whatPakistan might do during themuch-awaited meeting, andits fears were confirmedwhen the diplomat who was toaccompany Avanti and Chet-na from India was denied vi-sa. After the meeting, Avantiand Chetna were left exposedto a bullying bunch of Pakis-tan media who taunted themwith allegations against Jadhav.

While several mem-bers raised anti-Pa-kistan slogans on

Wednesday during zero ho-ur, Congress leader in theLok Sabha, MallikarjunKharge, demanded Kulbhus-han Jadhav’s safe return.

Shiv Sena’s Arvind Sa-want also said India shouldnot remain silent. Descri-bing India’s western neigh-bour as “hypocritical”, Tri-namool Congress leaderSaugata Roy condemned Pa-kistan while AIADMK lea-der M Thambidurai said itwas an insult to India thatJadhav’s wife was asked toremove her bangles, bindiand mangalsutra, all of them

symbols of a married wo-man in India.

While dismissing Indiancharges of intimidating andinsulting behaviour, Pakis-tan foreign office spokesper-

son Muhammad Faisal said,“There was something in theshoe. It is being investigated.We gave her (Chetna) a pairof replacement shoes. Allher jewellery etc was retur-

ned after the meeting.”Following the meeting,

several journalists werechanting Pakistani slogansas the women left the foreignoffice.

After the meeting, Indiahad said in a statement thatJadhav’s family was preven-ted from communicating inMarathi and the women we-re made to change their atti-re. The Indian deputy highcommissioner accompany-ing them was barred fromlistening to the conversationand was allowed to observethe meeting only after heprotested and the media wasallowed to harass the wo-men.

New Delhi: In a major policychange, the Army headquar-ters has reduced the residualservice required for Lt-Gene-rals to be promoted as chiefs ofits six operational and one tra-ining commands from 24months to 18 months beforesuperannuation.

Officers say the new policyis part of the overall move to“bring stability” in the com-mand tenures of the sevencommands (headed by seniorLt-Generals), 14 corps (Lt-Ge-nerals) and over 45 divisions(Major-Generals) in the over12-lakh strong Army.

“Tenures of division andcorps commanders are onlyabout 12 months as of now-…the aim is to increase the te-nures to 18 months,” said anofficer. As per the earlier poli-cy, a Lt-General after com-manding a corps could be pro-moted as an “Army Comman-der (GOC-in-C)”, dependingon seniority, only if he wasless than 58 years of age at thetime of his appointment.

Under the new policy issu-ed on December 23, Lt-Gene-rals with 18 months of residu-al service will also now be inthe reckoning for what is thesecond-highest rank (the vice-chief and seven Army Com-manders) in the force. Whileall Lt-Generals retire at theage of 60, the Army chief ser-ves till 62 or for three years,whichever is earlier.

I failed to clear UPSC in 2012for which I prepared withaudio books. I devoted mo-

re time and got a 57th all-Indiarank in the general category,”Aman Gupta, a BTech, said.

He currently holds threeimportant positions — direc-tor (personnel), additional di-rector (education) and secre-tary to the SDMC commissio-ner. Earlier, he was deputycommissioner (west zone),and before that he was withthe Delhi government as theSDM for Chanakyapuri.

A few officials have foundit doesn’t pay to be too cleverwhere Gupta is concerned.When he headed the west zoneas deputy commissioner, so-me would sometimes stealthi-ly leave the meeting hall whilehe thought they were seated.When told, he immediately is-sued showcause notices to theerring officials.

When Gupta was new tothe SDMC, an officer felt of-fended when he did not re-spond to his offer of a hands-hake. “I could not see that hewanted a handshake. I latertold him that I was 90% blind,”Gupta said. This remains afrequent occurrence at offici-al meetings and parties.

WAR OF WORDS HEATS UP WINTER SESSION

New Delhi: The govern-ment on Wednesday distan-ced itself from Union skilldevelopment ministerAnant Kumar Hegde’s cont-roversial remarks that BJPwould soon change the Cons-titution while he mocked“secularists” as people whowere unaware of their pa-rentage.

“The government is fullycommitted to the Constitu-tion. We (the government) donot agree with the statementof the minister (Hegde),” sa-id minister of state for parli-amentary affairs Vijay Goelin Rajya Sabha after thecontroversy rocked both ho-uses of Parliament.

An angry opposition didnot allow the Upper House tofunction in the pre-lunch ses-sion, demanding that Hegdeshould immediately be sack-ed from the Cabinet. Cong-ress, SP, BSP, DMK, Trina-mool, CPM and CPI mem-bers shouted “shame, sha-

me” when Hegde rose to laythe papers listed against hisname, and later trooped intothe well forcing Chairman MVenkaiah Naidu to adjournproceedings till 2 pm.

“If he (Hedge) has no fa-ith in the Constitution, thenhe has no right to be a mini-ster or an MP,” said leader ofthe opposition Ghulam NabiAzad. Sukhendu Sekhar Roy(TMC), in turn, asked if a mi-nister could denounce thepreamble of the Constitu-

tion, in which the word “se-cular” was enshrined, inpublic.

Naresh Agarwal (SP), onhis part, said any ministerwho denigrates the Constitu-tion, the “Ramayana and Gi-ta of Parliament”, and its fo-under Babasaheb Ambedkarshould be sacked forthwith.

At this, BJP member Sub-ramanian Swamy said Am-bedkar’s name should not bedragged into the matter be-cause the word “secular”was inserted into the pream-ble at a later (through the 42nd

amendment to the Constitu-tion in 1976) stage.

Minister of state for soci-al justice and empowermentand Republican Party of In-dia leader Ramdas Athawa-le, in turn, praised PM Modifor honouring Ambedkarwith a fitting memorial.Stressing it was Congresswhich had insulted Ambed-kar, he said, “Don't create aruckus. You are going to bedefeated in the 2019 and 2024general elections as well”.

New Delhi: The governmentplans to introduce the bill tocriminalise triple talaq or in-stant divorce among Muslimsin the Lok Sabha on Thurs-day amid several oppositionparties, including Congress,Left and BJD, and Muslim or-ganisations expressing reser-vations over the proposed jailterm for violators.

The government is deter-mined to press ahead with thebill in the Lok Sabha where ithas a strong majority eventhough some opposition par-ties have demanded that theproposed law be scrutinisedby a parliamentary commit-tee in view of the objectionsraised by several quartersover criminalisation of tripletalaq.

The Muslim Women (Pro-tection of Rights on Marria-ge) Bill will be introduced bylaw minister Ravi ShankarPrasad and while it is not to betaken up for immediate dis-cussion, the government isprepared for a short round ofcomments and is ready to putforward its justification forthe proposed law.

Congress and Left leadershave said that criminalisa-tion and a jail sentence maybe excessive while some Mus-lim organisations like the All

India Muslim Personal LawBoard have held that the Su-preme Court ruling strikingdown triple talaq as unconsti-tutional is against the Shariareligious law. A section of ac-tivists have argued that mar-riage is a civil contract andshould not involve criminalproceedings.

The government side hasargued that violations or of-fences such as bigamy and po-lygamy as well as otheraspects of marriage such asdowry and domestic violenceattract criminal proceedings.The law against triple talaqmust have deterrent valueand milder punishments likefines will not do.

Vice President VenkaiahNaidu also prompted fora resolution. Minister of

state for parliamentary affairsVijay Goel also met former PMManmohan Singh to seek hissupport for a resolution.

During the Gujarat campa-ign, PM Narendra Modi had al-leged at a rally that Pakistanwas taking an undue interest inthe campaign and referred tothe dinner at Aiyar’s residencewhere former Pakistani foreignminister Khurshid Kasuri andPakistan high commissionerSohail Mahmood were present.

Speaking in the House,Arun Jaitley said, “Many state-ments had been made on all si-des during the elections. Wedon’t want the stalemate to con-tinue as a result of this. Let me

categorically state that the Pri-me Minister in his statementsor speeches did not questionnor did he mean to question thecommitment to this nation ofeither Dr Manmohan Singh,the former Prime Minister, orShri Hamid Ansari, the formerVice-President. Any such per-ception is completely erroneo-us. We hold these leaders in

high esteem as also their com-mitment to this nation.”

With Congress not insistingon an apology, Azad said, “Ithank Leader of the House forhis clarification on the issuethat resulted in stalemate in theHouse. From my party, I want toassure you that we also don’t be-lieve to demean the post of Pri-me Minister.”

Mumbai: Eight years afterthe death of celebrated film-maker Shakti Samanta, hiswidow told a judge that shechose to stay with her yo-unger son, after the elderone dragged him to the Bom-bay high court.

The couple’s son Ashim(62) claimed before the courton Friday that his brotherSamir (60) had held theirmother, Nilima Samanta (86),“captive” at a bungalow inMumbai, and denied him ac-cess to her. The court did notgrant him interim relief anddirected the brothers to ami-cably resolve their issues.

He moved the high courton December 20 for “urgentrelief ”. Justice S J Katha-walla heard counsel NusratShah on Ashim’s behalf andShyam Kapadia on Samir’son December 21.

As Shah argued that Sam-ir be restrained from deny-ing Ashim access, Kapadiaobjected, questioning the al-legations. Justice Ka-

thawalla then directed thatthe mother be brought to hischamber the next day — thelast day before the court bro-ke for the Christmas vaca-tion. The three then appea-red before the judge, who he-ard them well past court ho-urs.

Samanta, born in WestBengal, started his career in1947. He produced his firstHindi feature film, ‘HowrahBridge’, starring Ashok Ku-mar, under Shri ShaktiFilms. He went on to make al-most 40 films under the ban-ner, including hits such as

‘Kashmir Ki Kali’ in 1964, ‘AnEvening in Paris’ in 1967 and‘Aradhana’ in 1969. He wonthe coveted Filmfare awardtwice. He passed away inApril 2009, leaving behind a1998 will caught in dispute.

Ashim, named “sole ex-ecutor” in the will, movedthe high court in 2009 to ha-ve it probated. In 2013, hisplea was converted into adispute though, following achallenge to the will by Sam-ir. The dispute is still pen-ding.

Samajwadi Party leader Naresh Agarwal kicked up acontroversy on Wednesday after he told a news agency that

Pakistan has declared Kulbhushan Jadhav a terrorist andwould, therefore, treat him like one, provoking a sharp reactionfrom BJP. Later Agarwal said he never made such a statement.

“What ideology is followed by a particular nation dependsupon that nation only. If they (Pakistan) have assumed Jadhavto be a terrorist then they will behave with his family in this way.Had there been a terrorist in our country we would have alsobehaved in the same way. I don’t understand why the media isonly talking about only Kulbhushan Jadhav. There are hundredsof prisoners in Pakistan jail, why there is not talk about allthose?” Agrawal told news agency ANI.
