Punjab BJP seeks justice for Dalit youths family, questions police action
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 2 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Punjab on Friday demanded justice for the family of Sanamdeep Singh, a 23-year-old Dalit youth from Kanoi village in Sangrur district, who died by suicide on September 26. The BJP also alleged that the Punjab Police cremated the body without the consent or presence of family members. Addressing the media in Chandigarh along with members of the victims family, Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon alleged that the incident reflected a deteriorating law-and-order situation in the state and the failure of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government to protect the rights of Dalit families. State BJP media head Vineet Joshi and the partys Sangrur district president, Daman Bajwa, were also present. Members of the affected family, including Sanamdeep Singhs brother Ravi Singh, father Paramjeet Singh and cousin Vikramjeet Singh, shared their account of the events. Punjab is presently going through a very difficult situation. We are receiving regular complaints of atrocities and discrimination against Dalits under the AAP government, Dhillon said. He added that despite Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann belonging to Sangrur district, such incidents continued to be reported from the area. Dhillon further alleged that the law-and-order situation had deteriorated to such an extent that the cremation of the victim could not take place in his own village and in the presence of family members. He alleged that the police cremated the body in the absence of the family and without their consent. The BJP leader also alleged that the victims mother had been taken away by the police and claimed that police personnel were acting under pressure from AAP minister Aman Arora, whom he described as being close to the village sarpanch. Dhillon said the BJP was demanding justice for the affected family and alleged that the Punjab government had turned a blind eye to the matter. We have also urged senior police authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident, he said. He added that the party had sought information regarding the whereabouts of the victims mother and demanded that she be reunited with the family.

Silver Jubilee Independence Cup: India stand on the brink of defending their Asian Games gold medal, but batting coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar has brushed off the hype surrounding their high-stakes final against arch-rivals Pakistan, adding that the side views the contest strictly through a professional lens. An India-Pakistan clash naturally commands massive global attention, and it will be the same when the gold medal game happens at the Korogi Sports Park on Saturday. A lot of eyeballs will be there, but for the players, to be frank with you, it's facing a bowler or bowling to a batter. So that's what it comes down to, and that's what professionals do, so that's what we'll be focused on, Kanitkar told reporters on the eve of the match. The former India batter, famous for hitting the match-winning boundary against Pakistan in the 1998 Independence Cup final in Dhaka, dismissed suggestions that recent Indian results across other sports a win over Pakistan in the mens hockey semi-final and a defeat to them in the mens volleyball quarter-final would add extra pressure to his side. No, it doesn't. Frankly, like I said earlier, international games, every match is pressure. So we need to be in our zone, we need to be at our best, and that's what we focus on. So shutting out all the other noise is part of professional cricket or sport - that's what we'll look to do, he said. Having advanced to the title clash through a commanding semi-final win over Sri Lanka, Kanitkar noted that the squad remains in high spirits despite weather-disrupted training sessions. The team's done well. We just got one game to play, and it was a good outing for the players, and we are confident; the team is confident. So our preparation has been good enough with the weather and everything. But still it's been very good, so we are happy with the place we are in. Rather than getting caught up in rivalry narratives, the Indian team is driven by the prospect of contributing to the nation's overall medal tally, said Kanitkar. It is extremely special because it goes into the medal tally for the country, and like the other Indian athletes, they work a lot to get that gold, silver, bronze, whatever it may be, and it's not easy. So we are really looking forward to this game, really looking forward to doing very well and winning it so that it can add to the tally of the country's medals and that's really high on our list, and it will be a proud moment for us. Decisions regarding conditions and team composition will be finalised on Saturday morning after inspecting the pitch. It looks okay; it was covered, so we'll have to come tomorrow again and have a look at how it will play and then decide, bat or bowl, whatever. So it's been covered today, so we'll see tomorrow, added Kanitkar. Reflecting on his famous Dhaka heroics against Pakistan in 1998, where he hit a match-winning boundary to give India the Silver Jubilee Independence Cup triumph, Kanitkar signed off by saying that big-match temperament and handling crunch situations remain paramount. So it was more than 20 years ago, but I'll take that. No, it's very important - the moments are what matter in big games. Who wins those crucial moments? Our players have done it in the past at various levels, and we're confident we'll do it again. But to answer your question, it's very important to win those crucial moments. Reflecting on his famous Dhaka heroics against Pakistan in 1998, where he hit a match-winning boundary to give India the Silver Jubilee Independence Cup triumph, Kanitkar signed off by saying that big-match temperament and handling crunch situations remain paramount.

Irani Cup: Nasir's Counterattacking Fifty Hands J&K A Slender Lead Over Rest Of India
Sudip Kumar Gharami: A last-minute inclusion who did not even have his own jersey when the Irani Cup began at the picturesque Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium, seam-bowling all-rounder Lone Nasir produced a sensational counter-attacking fifty to propel Jammu & Kashmir to a dramatic first-innings lead over the Rest of India on day twos play on Friday. By the time J&K were bowled out for 278 in 64.2 overs, with Nasir making 64, they had secured a precious 41-run lead. J&K pacers exploited the useful conditions once again late in the day, with left-arm pacer Sunil Kumar dismissing opener Shikhar Mohan cheaply, as their score read 24/1 at stumps and they still trailed J&K by 17 runs. When J&K's dugout erupted in celebration at 2:46 pm as Nasir pulled a short ball over deep midwicket and put them in the lead, it felt like a match-winning moment for the current Ranji Trophy winners. Just an hour earlier, taking the lead seemed nearly impossible for them. A post-lunch middle-order collapse had seen J&K slip precipitously from 138/4 to 166/8, and trailing the Rest of India by 71 runs. Joining veteran J&K captain Paras Dogra, who was waging a lone battle, the Bandipora-based Nasir turned the contest on its head with a display of fearless hitting. Having only made the playing eleven after first-choice pacers Auqib Nabi and Yudhvir Singh were unavailable, Nasir began cautiously before launching a calculated assault on RoI's star-studded pace attack. He fetched left-arm spinner Manav Suthar from outside off to sweep him to deep midwicket and lofted him over extra cover in the same over. Even after Dogra fell with J&K still seven runs behind, Nasir refused to retreat. Unfazed by the short-pitched barrage from Akash Deep and Mukesh Kumar, Nasir smashed Mukesh for a sequence of a four and two sixes to race to a sensational 48-ball half-century. His 58-ball 64, laced with eight fours and three sixes, ended when Akash Deep trapped him lbw with a reverse-swinging delivery, and an enterprising 48-run last-wicket stand with Sunil Kumar ensured J&K reached 278 and got that crucial psychological edge. Before Nasirs blitz, J&K's response had been anchored by a crucial 101-run partnership between Dogra (75 off 143 balls) and Abdul Samad (57 off 88 balls). Resuming day two from 21/2, J&K found themselves in severe trouble at 37/4 as Mukesh Choudhary breathed fire on a green-tinged pitch to remove Shubham Khajuria and Qamran Iqbal in quick succession. Choudhary eventually finished with a well-deserved 5-78, but Dogra and Samad absorbed the pressure to rebuild the innings. Samad mixed caution with enterprise to reach his fifty off 80 balls before falling shortly after the lunch break to Mukesh. When Choudhary and Akash Deep (3-43) ripped through the lower middle-order to leave J&K reeling at 166/8, Dogra showed immense grit. Despite looking uncomfortable against high pace, Dogra persevered to reach his half-century off 113 balls, adding 64 vital runs with Nasir for the ninth wicket before top-edging a bumper to fine leg. But then Nasir came out all guns blazing with the bat to make it a memorable day of red-ball cricket for J&K.

Christa Pike, pictured in 2012, is receiving life-saving treatment after surviving two lethal injections. Imagn Images via Reuters Connect The mother of the woman killed by Christa Pike said she was left without justice after Tennessee's failed attempt to carry out the execution , criticizing the state's handling of a procedure that left the death row prisoner hospitalized in critical condition. I didn't get justice for my daughter, May Martinez, whose daughter Colleen Slemmer was killed in 1995, told the Associated Press on Thursday. Martinez traveled to Nashville to witness the execution Wednesday. Instead, she watched as officials administered two doses of the state's execution drug pentobarbital without killing Pike. I watched the whole thing. She was awake, she said. She was moving her head, moving her feet. She was trying to sit up. Didn't work the first time they gave her a shot. It didn't work the second time, so she's in the hospital and alive. The inmate is receiving life-saving medical care, according to her legal team, who have asked Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee to commute her sentence. In a separate interview with NBC News , Martinez described the failed execution attempt as a mess and said Pike never expressed remorse during the attempted execution. Not nothing about what happened, you know, to Colleen, Martinez told NBC News. May Martinez, left, mother of murder victim Colleen Slemmer, outside the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution. AP Photo/George Walker IV Martinez also criticized officials' communication with Slemmer's family during the execution attempt. They didn't say anything, and then, all of a sudden, they asked all the victims to leave. And we left, she said. We didn't know anything until we got up to the office and saw the commissioner. And he said that it didn't work and she's on her way to the hospital. Asked what her message to Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and the state's attorney general was, Martinez replied, They f***** up. Slemmer's stepfather, Raul Martinez Jr., also described what he witnessed as the execution unfolded. She just lay there, he told People of Pike's reaction after the first dose of pentobarbital was administered. She moved her toes a lot. He said the curtain around the execution chamber closed about 15 minutes later. After several minutes, witnesses were told Pike would receive another dose. They opened another bag, and she was still picking up her head and moving around, he said. The curtain closed again about 10 to 15 minutes after the second dose was administered, he said. Even with the curtain closed, he said he could hear the sounds of her snoring or gurgling. Why was Christa Pike scheduled to be executed? Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 after being convicted of first-degree murder of Colleen Slemmer the previous year on the University of Tennessee Agricultural campus. According to legal documents filed with the Supreme Court , Pike tortured, and killed Colleen Slemmer on Jan. 12, 1995 because Pike just felt mean that day. Pike is reported to have cut Colleen's throat multiple times and crushed her skull with a piece of asphalt. Pike would have been the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than 200 years. Pike spent nearly three decades trying to overturn her conviction and death sentence. Her lawyers argued that the jury that sentenced her to death had not been given a full picture of her traumatic childhood and mental health problems, and that her age at the time of the murder should have been given greater weight. By June 2020, Pike had exhausted the three main levels of review of her sentence after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear her case. The Tennessee Supreme Court later set her execution for Sept. 30, 2026. About an hour before her scheduled execution, a federal appeals court granted a temporary stay to give judges time to consider the issue. Tennessee appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that Pike was attempting to revive a claim that had already been rejected. The Supreme Court lifted the stay later that day, allowing the execution to proceed. The majority did not explain its reasoning. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, saying the appeals court should have been given time to consider Pike's claim. I was a mentally ill 18-year-old kid. It took me numerous years to even realize the gravity of what I'd done, Pike said in a statement included in her clemency petition. Even more to accept how many lives I affected. I took the life of someone's child, sister, friend. It sickens me now to think I had the ability to commit such a crime. Pike was also convicted of attempted first-degree murder after trying to strangle fellow inmate Patricia Jones in 2001. According to legal documents filed with the Court of Criminal Appeals of Tennessee , Pike said in a phone call after the incident, I betcha if she gets near me, I'm gonna do it again. I'm gonna succeed this damn time.
