Nishikant Dubey threatens defamation suit against ex-Finance Secretary Subhash Garg
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 21 (IANS) BJP MP from Jharkhand's Godda, Nishikant Dubey, has said he will file a criminal defamation case against former Finance Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg for of making false statements about him during a recent podcast. The controversy escalated after Garg, in the podcast, referred to an alleged meeting with Dubey during his tenure in the Finance Ministry and claimed that the MP had approached him regarding certain matters. Rejecting the allegations, Dubey said he had never visited the office of any Central government secretary after becoming an MP in 2009 and had never written any recommendation letter seeking the transfer or posting of an official. Speaking on Monday, Dubey said Garg had claimed in the podcast that the two had met in his office and that the MP had sought intervention in a transfer-related matter. The truth is that since being elected to Parliament in 2009, I have never gone to any secretary for such work. If Garg has any evidence of my visiting his office or making any recommendation, he should place it in the public domain, Dubey said. The latest exchange comes amid an ongoing war of words between the two over India's first-quarter GDP growth rate of 7.8 per cent. Garg had recently questioned the GDP figures and the changes made in the methodology used for past GDP calculations. Dubey, in response, had sharply criticised the former bureaucrat. In the podcast, Garg reportedly said that during his tenure as Finance Secretary, Dubey had approached him with certain files or matters, which he perceived as lobbying or advocacy on behalf of corporate interests. Dubey dismissed the claim, reiterating that protocol places an MP above a Central government secretary and asserting that he had never visited any ministry to meet a Secretary. He also maintained that he had never recommended the transfer or posting of any official. Garg served as Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, from July 2017 to July 2019 and briefly held the position of Finance Secretary between March and June 2019. He was later transferred to the Ministry of Power before he opted for voluntary retirement. Dubey said his differences with Garg were not new. He recalled that in 2018 he had written to the Prime Minister raising questions about Garg's economic policies and functioning while he was serving as Secretary, Economic Affairs.
Ex-MLA questions killing of top Jharkhand Maoist Brijesh Ganjhu, seeks CBI probe
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 21 (IANS) The brother of slain Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee (TSPC) chief Brijesh Ganjhu has questioned the killing of his brother in an encounter in Uttar Pradeshs Varanasi. He alleged that the operation was fake and demanded a probe by the CBI into the incident. Ganesh Ganjhu, former MLA from Simaria and brother of Brijesh Ganjhu alias Gopal Singh Bhokta, on Monday claimed that the Maoist leader was picked up from Jharkhand's Chatra district and later taken to Uttar Pradesh, where he was killed as part of a conspiracy. He urged Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren to order an impartial CBI probe into the circumstances surrounding his brother's death. According to the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF), Brajesh Ganjhu was killed in an encounter in Varanasi on Sunday morning. He carried a reward of Rs 25 lakh by the Jharkhand government and an additional Rs 5 lakh by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The body of the slain extremist reached his native village, Luttu Sohawan, under Lawalong police station limits in Chatra district on Monday. Speaking to reporters, Ganesh Ganjhu questioned the police version of the encounter. He raised doubts over the claim that Brajesh, who was allegedly riding a motorcycle when intercepted by police in Varanasi's Ramnagar area, opened fire on the security team. If he was riding the motorcycle, how could he fire from two pistols simultaneously? he asked, demanding an independent inquiry into the incident. Police, however, have maintained that Brajesh fired at the team during the operation and was injured in retaliatory action. He later succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead by doctors at a hospital. The former legislator also levelled serious allegations against the Jharkhand Police, claiming that his brother was first used in operations against Maoists and was later eliminated. He warned of a phased agitation if the government failed to act on the demand for an investigation. Ganesh Ganjhu further described his brother as an active participant in social welfare activities. He said Brajesh had been an elected panchayat representative since 2010 and had worked extensively for the poor, helping several underprivileged families, including supporting the marriages of girls from economically weaker sections. He also claimed that Brajesh had established the Gopal Singh Bhokta Inter College in Lawalong. The former MLA said that tackling Naxalism requires addressing its underlying causes and socio-economic factors rather than relying solely on security operations.

ON SATURDAY, the Union Government notified the appointment of seven judicial officers as judges of the Delhi High Court while holding back the appointment of judicial officer Gurvinder Pal Singh, the senior-most among the eight officers recommended for elevation. The reason for not clearing Singhs appointment is not immediately available, nor is it known whether the government has sat on his name or returned it to the Supreme Court Collegium. On September 10 this year, the Supreme Court Collegium comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Vikram Nath and B.V.

BJPs Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra movement for social reform, says Meghwal in Fazilka
Digital Desk | Fazilka (Punjab), Sep 20 (IANS) Union Law Minister Arjun Meghwal on Sunday described the BJPs Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra as a movement for social reform. He said the objective of the campaign was to protect generations of Punjabis from drugs and take Punjab forward on the path of becoming a developed state. Meghwal was addressing a public gathering before flagging off the third Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra from Fazilkas Old Vegetable Market. Before addressing the gathering, he visited the Asafwala Shaheedi Memorial, where he paid floral tributes to the soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice for the nation. He was accompanied by BJP national General Secretary and Punjab BJP in-charge Satish Poonia, state president Kewal Singh Dhillon, former state president Sunil Jakhar and former minister Surjit Kumar Jiani. Addressing the gathering before flagging off the third Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra, the Union Minister said some people were viewing the yatra through a political lens. However, he said it was not a political campaign but an initiative for social reform. Meghwal said the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Narendra Modi government not only run government programmes but also undertake initiatives aimed at social reform. He cited PM Modis campaigns such as Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao and Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam as examples of such social initiatives. Speaking about the harmful effects of drugs, the Union Law Minister referred to the Bani of Guru Amar Das from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib and said that people should stay away from anything whose consumption affects the human mind, intellect and sense of discretion. He also referred to the importance of Naam Simran in the Bani of Guru Nanak Dev, saying that one can truly engage in Naam Simran only when ones sense of discretion remains intact. The minister said this is why people were urged to stay away from intoxicants. During his address, Meghwal also sang a Shabad of Guru Nanak Dev, drawing an appreciative response from the gathering. He said the message of creating awareness against drugs could also be found in the Bani of the Sikh Gurus, Bhagat Kabir Das and Guru Ravidas. The minister said people could be motivated to protect themselves from the harmful effects of drugs only by linking the campaign for a drug-free Punjab with social and spiritual awareness. He said this was the objective of the BJPs Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra. Speaking on the occasion, state BJP President Dhillon said, Those who had spread the scourge of drugs have been rattled by the BJPs Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra. The yatra has put the Chief Minister on the back foot. Referring to the recent Mohanjeet Sheron and Gulzar Singh incidents in Sangrur, Dhillon alleged that the government was suppressing voices speaking out against drugs. He said people had become so frustrated that residents in Faridkot were putting up house for sale boards outside their homes. He said that if the BJP could eliminate gangsterism in Uttar Pradesh, Naxalism in Jharkhand and violence in Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370, then why could it not eliminate drugs from Punjab? Dhillon said the BJP had a track record of delivering on its promises and doing what it said it would do. Former state BJP President Jakhar said that while deaths had so far been occurring due to drug abuse, more people were now dying for raising their voice against drugs. He said some people were being killed by drug smugglers, while others were being forced to commit suicide on the pretext of having raised questions. Launching a sharp attack on AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal, Jakhar said 79,000 arrests that had been made were not a sign of Kejriwals bravery, but evidence of the extent to which the younger generation had been pushed into the drug crisis.
TN: DMK accuses BJP of intimidating regional parties
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 20 (IANS) DMK leader T.K.S. Elangovan on Sunday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of using investigative agencies to intimidate regional parties, saying they have emerged as the ruling partys principal political opponents as the Congress remains weakened nationally. Elangovan referred to the summons issued to Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha in connection with a land case, and notices reportedly sent to family members of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi. He alleged that such actions were part of a systematic campaign against regional forces. The BJP was apprehensive about regional parties joining hands to challenge it, he claimed. He said the parties were strengthening cooperation and preparing to present their political and ideological opposition to the BJP before voters across the country. Supporting the CPI(M)s call for the broadest possible opposition unity instead of a separate third front, Elangovan said parties opposed to the BJP should work together. Their common objective should be to highlight what he described as the BJPs failures and policies before seeking public support. Accusing the BJP of undermining democratic values, Elangovan claimed it was attempting to transform India into a monopolistic political system. He alleged that those in power were behaving like rulers with unchecked authority and were unwilling to hear or resolve public grievances. Elangovan also targeted the TVK government in Tamil Nadu, alleging that it had failed to maintain law and order during its first 100 days in office. Citing eight murders reportedly committed within a day, he said the government was reviving allegations dating back five decades against the DMK to divert attention from its present shortcomings. Responding to questions surrounding DMK president M.K. Stalins arrest during the Emergency, Elangovan said Stalin did not need to produce fresh proof that he had been detained under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act. The Justice Ismail Commission, appointed by the state government, had already confirmed the arrest, he said. The DMK leader also backed Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhis contention that the system was suppressing students. He maintained that every citizen had the fundamental right to protest peacefully against the government over a genuine cause. Elangovan said elected governments had a constitutional responsibility to engage with protesters, listen to their concerns, and provide remedies. Attempts to suppress agitations without addressing the issues that prompted them were inconsistent with democratic governance, he added.

Jharkhand Maoist carrying Rs 30 lakh bounty killed in encounter with UP ATS in Varanasi
Digital Desk | Varanasi, Sep 20 (IANS) Jharkhand-based banned Maoist outfit Tritiya Prastuti Committee's (TPC) chief Brijesh Ganjhu alias Gopal Singh Bhokta was killed in an encounter with the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in Varanasi on Sunday morning, officials said. Ganjhu carried a cumulative bounty of Rs 30 lakh announced by the Jharkhand government and the National Investigation Agency (NIA). According to information shared by security agencies, the encounter took place at around 5 a.m. near Tengra Mod in the Ramnagar police station area of Varanasi. The UP ATS had received intelligence that Ganjhu was travelling on a motorcycle via Ramnagar towards Mughalsarai, following which a team laid a trap in the area. Police said that when ATS personnel signalled him to stop, Ganjhu opened fire on the team. ATS officers retaliated, and Ganjhu sustained bullet injuries in the exchange of fire. He was taken to a district hospital for treatment, where doctors declared him dead. ATS Deputy Superintendent of Police Vipin Rai said that bullets fired by Ganjhu struck the bulletproof jackets of both him and Head Constable Nitendra Krishna during the encounter. One of Ganjhu's associates managed to flee the spot. The ATS recovered two pistols, live cartridges and spent shells from the scene. The body has been kept at the post-mortem facility of Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital in Varanasi. A resident of Lawalong in Jharkhand's Chatra district, Ganjhu had long figured on the wanted lists of security and investigative agencies. The Jharkhand government had announced a reward of Rs 2.5 million for information leading to his arrest, while the NIA had separately declared a reward of Rs 500,000. He was wanted in several cases related to murder, extortion, illegal arms activities and terror funding across Jharkhand and other states.

Investigators alleged that he played a key role in a levy-extortion network targeting businesses associated with coal mining, transportation and contracting operations. Following his death, security agencies in Jharkhand have begun reviewing records about cases registered against him and his alleged involvement in Maoist activities.
