Navjot Sidhu walks free after 317 days in jail, slams Centre and Punjab govt, lauds Rahul

Whenever dictatorship came to this country, a revolution has also come. Today I say openly that the revolution is Rahul Gandhi, he said. CHANDIGARH: After 317 days in prison, cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu was released from the Patiala Central Jail on Saturday evening. Immediately after his release, he hit out at the BJP-led Union government and lauded the former Congress president Rahul Gandhi. After coming out of jail, the 59-year old Sidhu said, The government does not have strength to listen the truth. Whenever dictatorship came to this country, a revolution has also come. Today I say openly that the revolution is Rahul Gandhi and he will uproot this government. The workers of the Congress party are not ice blocks which will melt away. Today, democracy is trapped badly in tentacles. Democracy is in chains and institutions have turned slaves. The ancestors of Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi helped the country in getting freedom. Today, Rahul Gandhi is cutting the tentacles, he is roaring like a lion, his voice is being curbed. When a lion roars, its roars are heard in America, Germany and all over the world, he said. Dictatorship in this country is bad. Ambedkars idea of united India is being destroyed. Wherever the Hindutva idea doesnt work and where there is minority community rule, the Centre indulges in divisive politics. First it creates the problem of law and order and then shows that they have brought peace and everything is under control, he alleged. I also want to say to my younger brother Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann that there is no such thing as democracy right now. There is a conspiracy to impose presidents rule in Punjab. The minorities are being targeted. If you try to weaken Punjab, you will become weak, he said. He accused Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of 'giving false hopes' to the people of Punjab. Lambasting Punjab CM Mann and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal over the promises they made during the assembly elections, he said, I want to tell my younger brother Bhagwant Mann that you said so much before forming the government. You sold false dreams which turned out to be flop. One lakh jobs promised are yet to be given. I want to remind Bhagwant Mann about regularizing 36,000 professors, what happened to that promise? You are just a newspaper CM as you are only seen in newspaper advertisements. You used to ask the then CM Charanjit Singh Channi why the BSF is deployed in Punjab. Now I ask him (Mann) why BSF is standing 30 kilometres inside Punjab? Why is BSF deployed at so many places in the state, said Sidhu. Navjot Sidhu is not fighting for his own family. I am not afraid of anything or of even death. Whatever I am doing is for the future generation of the country. My wife was suffering from cancer. I did not come out of the jail to attend to her. I still say that there is no bigger thing than rashtra dharma, he said. On being asked about the law and order situation in Punjab following the ongoing police hunt for Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh, the Congress leader said he will speak about the issue at the home of slain Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. The top brass of the Punjab Congress including state president Amarinder Raja Warring and Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa stayed away from receiving Sidhu from outside the jail amid unease in the senior leadership of the state unit of the grand old party. Several other leaders including Amritsar MP Gurjit Aujla, former Punjab Congress chiefs Shamsher Singh Dullo, Mohinder Singh Kaypee and Lal Singh, former MLA Navtej Singh Cheema, Ashwani Sekhri, Sukhwinder Singh Danny were present. Sidhu while walking out of the jail received a warm welcome amid dhol beats and his fans chanting slogans 'Navjot Sidhu Zindabad'.

Eating mushroom has become a problem, even doctors are surprised

New Delhi: The whole world has not yet fully recovered from the fear of Corona; meanwhile, it has heard about a new type of infection. The surprising thing is that the infection is caused by the plant; yes, the first case of its kind in the world is to be heard from Kolkata. This fungal infection is also being called fatal. The 61-year-old man is a plant mycologist. He also complained of a persistent cough, hoarse voice, difficulty swallowing, sore throat, and lethargy or fatigue for about three months. In the course of the investigation, he was found to be suffering from a fungus. He is the first person in the world to have an infection that affects plants. Researchers say this shows how plant infections can spread to humans through continuous exposure to plant fungi. A CT scan revealed that mycologists live among fungi and work there. In which mushrooms, etc. come The man from Kolkata was not found to have diabetes, an HIV infection, a kidney-related ailment, any serious illness, or any trauma. The Journal Medical Mycology Case Report says that the doctors told them that he (the victim) had been working on mushrooms and other plant fungi for a long time in connection with his research. The doctors took his X-ray and CT scan. The X-ray of the chest was normal, but when the report of the CT scan came, it was found that something like a paratracheal abscess had developed in his neck. It is so dangerous that it blocks breathing and can cause a fatal infection. If the treatment is not received soon, then the person's death can also happen. But the doctor saved the patient's life with his understanding.

This decision has been taken by the temple administration and the district administration in view of organising the story of Pandit Pradeep Mishra. In fact, due to the Katha of Pandit Pradeep Mishra being organised from April 3 to 10, there is the possibility of a huge crowd of devotees. In view of this, the Mahakal temple administration has decided to keep the sanctum sanctorum of the temple closed.

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu to be out of jail today

AMRITSAR: Navjot Singh Sidhu, former president of the Panjab Congress unit, is set to be released from the Patiala Central Jail on Saturday, 10 months after his conviction by the Supreme Court in the road rage case. The former cricketer-turned-politician Sidhu will be released from jail on Saturday before completing one year of his sentence for two reasons. Actually, he was sentenced to 1 year of imprisonment, but he is going to be released within 10 months. There are two reasons behind this. According to the first jail manual, Navjot Singh Sidhu was entitled to four days off in a month. But Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu did not take any leave, so he has served the jail sentence. Secondly, the good conduct of Navjot Singh Sidhu during his imprisonment has also been taken into account. A prisoner may be entitled to early release from prison because of good conduct. Let us tell you that Navjot Singh Sidhu was accused of a road rage incident in 1988. The case pertains to the death of one Gurnam Singh after he attacked Sidhu and his friend in December 1988. On December 27, 1988, Sidhu and Rupinder Singh Sandhu allegedly parked their Gypsy in the middle of the road near the Sheranwala Gate crossing in Patiala. When Gurnam Singh, 65, reached the spot in a car, he asked Sidhu to move aside. There was a dispute between Sidhu and Gurnam Singh on this, and Sidhu beat him, due to which Gurnam Singh died. In this case, the Supreme Court has sentenced Sidhu to one year in jail.

Will Navjot Singh Sidhu walk out ofjail on Saturday?

However, officials of the central jail have not confirmed his release prematurely. CHANDIGARH: Former Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is undergoing a year's rigorous imprisonment in a jail in his hometown Patiala in a 1988 road rage case, is likely to be released prematurely on Saturday, with a remission of 45 days in his prison term. This is to inform everyone that Sardar Navjot Singh Sidhu will be released from Patiala Jail tomorrow. (As informed by the concerned authorities), a tweet from Sidhu's handle said on Friday. However, officials of the central jail have not confirmed his release prematurely. Sidhu on May 20, 2022, surrendered before a court in Patiala in a 1988 road rage case that had led to the death of a 65-year-old man. Jail officials told IANS that Sidhu would be prematurely released for his good conduct. His scheduled release from jail was May 16. Earlier, Sidhu's early release along with other prisoners was under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav in January, but the AAP government in the state denied his remission of sentence. Sidhu has been lodged in an ordinary barrack as the government has decided to abandon the special cells in jails for VIP prisoners. At one point of time, Bikram Singh Majithia, one of the most powerful Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leaders, was in judicial custody in the same jail where Sidhu was lodged. Both Sidhu and Majithia, who is facing charges in a drugs case, were once close friends and now political enemies. They were in fray from Amritsar (East) in the recently held Assembly polls and the seat witnessed a bitter battle. They faced defeat from AAP's greenhorn Jeevan Jyot Kaur. The apex court, which reserved the judgment in March, overturned its 2018 judgment, which had reduced the punishment for Sidhu in the case, after a review petition was filed by the family of Gurnam Singh, who had died in the incident. On December 27, 1988, the cricketer-turned-politician and one of his friends, Rupinder Singh Sandhu, had on December 27, 1988, hit Gurnam Singh, 65, on his head near the Sheranwala Gate crossing in Patiala. Police had said Sidhu fled from the scene after committing the crime. Gurnam Singh was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead. Sidhu said Gurnam Singh died of a cardiac arrest and not because he was punched in the head. Sidhu was acquitted of the murder charges by a trial court in September 1999. However, the Punjab High Court reversed the verdict and held Sidhu and his co-accused guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder in December 2006. It sentenced them to three years in jail and imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh each. Both Sidhu and Sandhu filed an appeal in the Supreme Court, which stayed their conviction in 2007. In 2018, the Supreme Court acquitted him of culpable homicide and convicted him of causing hurt in a road rage case in which one person died. In February 2022, the apex court agreed to hear a plea seeking review of its May 15, 2018 verdict, where it let off Sidhu with a mere Rs 1,000 fine.

AI peeing incident: DGCA asked to form panel to hear Mishra

On March 15, the DGCA informed the court that it will constitute an appellate panel within a week to look into the matter. NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to form a committee within two weeks to hear Air India peeing incident accused Shankar Mishra, who moved an appeal against the four-month ban on him from flying and also tagged him an unruly passenger. On March 15, the DGCA informed the court that it will constitute an appellate panel within a week to look into the matter. The aviation watchdog, today told the court that the panel does not have a chairperson at present as the earlier head of the committee--a retired High Court judge -- had resigned. After DGCAs submission, the High Court said to further form the panel within two weeks and to hear Mishra on April 20 while directing him to move his appeal accordingly. Mishra was seeking the forming of a committee under the Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) for unruly passengers to hear his appeal. His plea contended that the ban order suffers from factual and legal infirmities and completely misunderstands the physical layout of the aircraft and premises.Mishra, who was arrested by the Delhi Police from Bengaluru on January 7 for allegedly urinating on a 70-year-old woman while in a drunken state on a flight last November, was granted bail on January 31 by Delhis Patiala House Court. On January 19, Air India imposed a four-month flying ban on the accused. The independent three-member Internal Committee under the Chairmanship of the former District Judge has concluded that Shankar Mishra is covered under the definition of unruly passenger and is banned from flying for a period of 4 months as per the relevant provisions of the Civil Aviation Requirements, said an Air India spokesperson.

NIA gets 10-day custody of Kashmirijournalist in terror-funding case

According to an NIA spokesman, Mehrajs arrest was following comprehensive investigations into the NGO Terror funding case registered in October 2020. NEW DELHI:A Delhi court on Wednesday sent Kashmiri journalist Irfan Mehraj, to the National Investigation Agencys (NIA) custody for 10 days in an alleged NGO terror-funding case registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The freelance journalist, who has contributed to various national and international news organizations, was arrested by NIA on Monday from Srinagar, and produced before a special NIA judge at Delhis Patiala House court. In order to interrogate him in a 2020 case, the agency sought 12 days of custody of the journalist. According to an NIA spokesman, Mehrajs arrest was following comprehensive investigations into the NGO Terror funding case registered in October 2020. Irfan was a close associate of detained Khurram Parvez and was working with his organization, Jammu and Kashmir Coalition of Civil Societies (JKCCS). Investigation revealed that the JKCCS was funding terror activities in the valley and had also been in the propagation of a secessionist agenda in the Valley under the garb of protection of human rights, he said. Khurram Parvez, human rights activist and chairman of the Asian Federation Against Involuntary Disappearances and coordinator of JKCCS was arrested by NIA in November 2021. The involvement of some Valley-based NGOs, Trusts and Societies in the terror-funding related activities are being probed in this case. Some NGOs, both registered as well as unregistered, have come to notice collecting funds domestically and abroad under the cover of doing charity and various welfare activities, including Public Health, Education etc. But some of these organisations have developed links with proscribed terrorist organizations, such as LeT, HizbulMujahideen, the NIA spokesman said.
