KERALA JUDGE’S OBSERVATIONS ON WOMAN’S DRESS A MISTAKE, RULES HC

All the member countries of the organization should take concrete steps towards making arrest of wanted and make it mandatory on priority basis, ignoring the geopolitical equations towards terroristsseparatists-extremists. As well as the institution should also work on consensus among member countries to extradition the criminals in accordance of the type/colour of notices, so that the relevance and universal acceptance of this global organization is maintained, otherwise in the rapidly changing global environment the concept of the Interpol’s — “A SAFER WORLD” will prove far cry

The four-day grand event (18-21 October) of 90th meeting of the INTERPOL General As sembly was successfully held at Pragati Maidan, New Del hi. On the occasion of Amrit Mahotsav of India’s Inde pendence, Interpol had ac cepted the special request of the GOI to organize meeting in India. Earlier in 1997 India also got the opportunity to host. Delegates from 164 out of 195 member countries, In terpol’s President Ahmed Naser Al-Raisi and SecretaryGeneral Jürgen Stock partici pated in this annual meeting. In the 90th session of the INTERPOLGA total 14 differ ent resolutions were passed, including strengthening co operative response to combat financial crime & corruption, prevention of online child sexual exploitation and abuse; implementation of concrete strategies to identify offenders and resolutions also were passed to identify miss ing persons using Interpol’s ‘I-Familia’ database. Annual crime statistics and other re ports also presented in the meeting.

LEARN TO LIVE WITH GLOBAL WARMING

Addressing the inaugural session, PM Narendra Modi said- “A safe and secure world is our shared responsibility; when the forces of good cooperate, the forces of crime cannot operate. It is high time that the world comes together to defeat Terrorism, corruption, drug trafficking, poaching and organised crime. When threats are global, response can’t be local.” He called upon Interpol to work out a new strategy with technology of new level

to control the top trending cyber-crime.

Addressing the inaugural session the PM Shri Naren dra Modi said- “A safe and secure world is our shares responsibility; when the forc es of good cooperate, the forc es of crime cannot operate. It is high time that the world comes together to defeat Ter rorism, corruption, drug traf ficking, poaching and organ ised crime. When threats are global, response can’t be lo cal.” He called upon Interpol to work out a new strategy with technology of new level. Undoubted it has been 99 years since the establish ment of Interpol, but the

achievements so far have been insufficient. The rela tions between nations are weighing heavily on crimes and effective action against criminals; as a result, the un friendly nations have become the safe havens of the fugi tives and criminals of hu manity. In Indian context 750 notices issued by Interpol, out of which 200 notices are of fugitive criminals, have been un-served till date. In which fugitive terrorists like Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota Shakeel and Hafiz Saeed are taking shelter in safe places. Such controversial deci sions have not only caused a deep blow to the image of In

terpol at the global level, but created a sense of lack of ac ceptance among the general public about the commenda ble work being done by this global organization. Whereas India’s contribution in all the activities of this institution remarkable. Recently, the largest consignment of hero in was seized at Mundra port under Operation Lionfish, which is being run by Inter pol targeting drug smuggling. Similarly, under Operation Garuda the CBI, NCB sharing intelligence with Interpol have carried out the biggest ever action against an inter nationally spread drug cartel. India conveyed its policy of zero tolerance towards ter ror and criminals and its firm intentions. Addressing the concluding session of IN TERPOLGA on 21st October, the Union Minister for Home, Shri Amit Shah said- “Ter rorism is the biggest human rights violator. We should en sure that the fight against terrorism sustained, compre hensive and continuous, for which India is committed to working with the Interpol.” Narratives of “good”& “bad”, “small” & “big” terrorism would weaken fight against the threat which was high on Interpol’s priority list.

However, Interpol’s Presi dent Al-Raisi has urged mem ber states to strengthen unity with neutrality and transpar ency, while avoiding politici zation of the organization. But this would not have been possible without a change in the organizational structure of Interpol & radical change in traditional methodology.

THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL

As emissions con tinue to rise, the annual global emissions are close to an equiva lent of 50 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide but the growth in this decade (201019) has been a lot slower at 1 percent than the 2.6 percent in the previous decade. That, however, is no consolation as it will take decades for the ef fect of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere to wane. Global warming, therefore, is here to be contended with.

As Sharm el-Shaikh gets ready to host the annual UN Climate Change Conference in Egypt on Sunday, energy security in the light of global tension over the Ukraine con flict may get pushed to the

As emissions continue to rise, the annual global emissions are close to an equivalent of 50 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide but the growth in this decade (2010-19) has been a lot slower at 1 percent than the 2.6 percent in the previous decade

background as countries may focus away from climate change to more pressing eco nomic and energy issues.

The main concern is about restricting global tempera tures within 1.5 degree Cel sius. According to Adair Turner, Chairman of Energy Transitions Commission, “…we must keep focused on

the global crises presented by climate change. Each 0.1 degree Celsius rise above 1.5 degrees Celsius will have a hugely significant impact… Both full implementation of COP26 commitments and further progress at COP27 are therefore essential if the world is to have a 50-50 chance of limiting global warming”. For that to look plausible, annual emissions have to be brought down to 33 billion tonnes by 2030.

The question is will COP27 give climate action a push to achieve the ambitious goal? With the war in Ukraine still on and supply lines getting disrupted, countries will find it to do anything beyond what they pledged in COP26. Yet, the goal must be pursued.

The case of Principal District and Sessions Judge of Kozhikode S Krishnakumar, who granted anticipatory bails to writer activist Civic Chandra accused of sexual har assment on the ground that the complainant was wearing pro vocative dresses, is getting curi ouser. After his observation that “the offence under sexual harass ment is not prima facie attracted in one case as the woman “wears a sexually provocative dress” raised a big controversy, Judge Krishnakumar was transferred to the labour court in Kollam. The judge challenged his transfer in the Kerala High Court which allowed his petition and set aside the order. The Bench found that the judge’s ob servations “were indeed deroga tory to women and, in our view, wholly uncalled for”. The Bench was of the view that the observa tions “could not be construed as misconduct, but rather, amounts to a mistake committed by Krishnakumar while discharg ing his judicial function”.

The “mistake” committed by the Kozhikode judge is indeed symp tomatic of a patriarchal mindset.

Sharat K Verma

New Delhi: There is a whole system in the Con gress party, which works behind the scenes. There are social media activ ists who work as a per sonal assistant to Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. There is a group of leaders who work in the Congress war room.

There is talk of many of these leaders would now come into main stream politics. It is be ing told that many lead ers who work with Ra hul and Priyanka can get a big position in these affiliated organiza tions. Among such peo

ple, the names of Sand eep Singh who worked with PGV, Kanishk Sin gh who worked with Ra hul Gandhi, Sachin Rao and Kaushal Vidyarthi are discussed. There is talk of Alankar Sawai also joining active poli tics who is currently co ordinating the Bharat Jodo Yatra with Rahul.

Recently, in view of the elections of two

states, media in-charge Pawan Khera was called back to Delhi from the Yatra along with Sand eep Singh. He will be permanently placed in the media team. Gur deep Sappal, who is working to give intellec tual input, is being dis cussed to get a bigger responsibility.

Gandhi the elephant in the room but the former party chief is actually a “tiger on the road”. The Bharat Jodo Yatra has been a “real booster dose” for public relation of the party.

‘KCR DOES DRAMA BEFORE POLLS, HAS DIRECT LINE TO MODI’

Having known Mr Rahul Gandhi for over 18 years, and I know him fairly well, he does not like backseat driving, he is a very democratic person, his value will be to play the role of an ideologi cal compass.

—Jairam Ramesh, Congress senior leader

Hyderabad: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked the TRS govt in Telangana saying that it supports the BJP on legislations in Parliament and that CM K Chandrashekar Rao “does drama” before the polls but is “in direct line” with PM Modi. Ad dressing a rally, Gandhi said that “BJP and TRS work together” and the Prime Minister “gives orders to your CM on phone”. “Whenever there’s any bill in Parlia ment, TRS supports BJP and diverts attention.

A mix bag for Kharge with experienced promoters & energetic youth?

Mahesh Sharma

New Delhi: Now that the time to forge a new team is before Con gress Party National President Mallikarjun Kharge, word is that priority will be given to the tried and tested old faces. However, under Kharge’s command, the party will give chance to new second line leaders as well. But it is said that instead of leaders working in re gions, priority will be

given to leaders work ing in Delhi. Such youth or new leaders, who are working in some cell with some subsidiary organiza tion of the party and are associated with the war room, can get a big responsibility in the central committee.

Some youth MPs of the party will get place in the central commit tee. Apart from Man ickam Tagore, leaders like Dipendra Hooda, JB Mather, Hiby Eden,

Gaurav Gogoi or Ravneet Singh Bittu may get a chance to work in the Central Committee. Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka Nasir Hus sain may get a big re sponsibility. Along with the top leaders of the Congress, Kharge too has complete trust in him. These MPs of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha can be made joint in-charges in the states. There will also be some changes in the

team of Congress spokespersons and new spokespersons may be created and the list of

televised speakers may be expanded.

Apart from these leaders, who are not

MPs but are working for Congress, many leaders are likely to get a big responsibility.

Kanhaiya Kumar, who is across India with Ra hul Gandhi; Nikhil Alva, who is handling Rahul’s social media; Srinivasa BV, National President of Youth Congress and Krishna Alavru, who is in charge of Youth Con gress, etc. are told to be those second line lead er who can get a big po sition in Kharge’s team.

Nikhil Alva handles Rahul Gandhi’s social media. Earlier it was being said that he could be in charge of the me dia of the Congress and that the responsibility of social media could be given to him. But it didn’t happen. Now he can have a place in the central team. He hails from Karnataka and is the son of Margaret Alva, who was nomi nated by the Congress for the post of Vice President. Krishna Ala

vuru holds an LLM from Georgetown Uni versity and has worked extensively as an incharge of the Youth Congress. He played a major role in promot ing leaders in Youth Congress in many states. Similarly, be cause of Srinivasa BV, Youth Congress is yet again being discussed in the country. The way he worked to help peo ple during the Corona epidemic is also praised by his opponents.

INTERNATIONAL PUSHKAR FAIR

AFTER A LONG CEASEFIRE, ‘FIRING’ BEGINS YET AGAIN BETWEEN GEHLOT-PILOT FACTIONS!

DR JOSHI: CM GEHLOT CARRIED FORWARD CONGRESS’ CULTURE

Jaipur: CM’s trusted lieuten ant Mahesh Joshi targeted Pilot’s comments and said, “It is the culture of Rajasthan that we honour everyone who comes here. We don’t indulge in unnecessary en counters like Uttar Pradesh.”

Jaipur: Ever since the first all-out war between Gehlot-Pilot camps be came a public spectacle over two years back, a ‘tug-of-war’ type situa tion has prevailed with in the camps. However, once the high command stepped in, both Gehlot and Pilot called its quits to the clash and project ed that the differences have been ironed out. In fact, after this, Pilot at times highlighted the good works undertaken by the Gehlot govern ment and stressed that everyone will have to work together to repeat the government.

The former Deputy CM, on his part, dis played immense pa tience in handling the political crisis, a point which was even praised by former Congress President Rahul Gan dhi, who publicly admit ted that Pilot’s time would come as he has

Jaipur (Agencies): Minister Rajen dra Gudha and a known supporter of Sachin Pilot, has opened a front against CM Gehlot by demanding the conven ing of CLP meet to discuss the leadership change. Gudha has demanded that Con gress High Command convene a CLP meeting soon to decide on changing the CM in State. He also demanded sacking of 2 ministers, namely Shanti Dhariwal, Mahesh Joshi & also RTDC President Dharmendra Rathore from their posts for being responsible for political mess. “All I have to say is that it is a question of High Command’s cred ibility. The CLP should call a meeting and decide on the CM soon. Take a decision on the three leaders soon”.

But perhaps the inac tion of the high com mand and the discipli nary committee over the political crisis before

Both the leaders including Sachin Pilot ji and Ashok Gehlot ji have completely ruined Rajasthan in their personal fight and are now disseminating their knowledge in Himachal. I strongly believe that the people will support in helping the ‘Lotus’ bloom and the Bharatiya Janata Party will form the government.

Jaipur: Hitting back on Sachin Pilot’s comment on PM Modi praising CM Ashok Gehlot, Dy LoP Rajendra Rathore said “PM made his point according to country’s political cul ture. When a PM visits a state & there is a CM of another party, who is a senior leader, the PM speaks about senior ity.” Rathore also said that Gehlot is a simple person who tries to maintain cordial relations with Opposition. However, he insisted that he didn’t mean that he was a follower of Gehlot. “Whatever CM said, we did that in Covid. This is our culture. Thus, he talks about ‘Ragdai. He sometimes talks about us too in Assembly that we are the students of Bhairon Singh Shekhawat school of politics,” he said.

Joshi recounted the saying, “Idols term us infidels, It is the will of Allah.” He further said, “I dont think CM did anything wrong. He has only carried forward Congress’ culture. Ashok Gehlot does not need any certificate to

On Wednesday, Pilot fired salvos on Gehlot & breaking his two year long silence, suggested that party will soon take action against those who were given notices by AICC for indiscipline.

Pilot also said PM Modi praised Rajasthan CM Gehlot at a programme on Tuesday. “This is an interesting develop ment. PM Modi had praised Ghulam Nabi Azad ji in Parliament, what happened after that? Everyone had seen that yesterday’s develop ment was interesting.

Modi ji himself has praised CM. This is in teresting and shouldn’t be taken lightly,” he said.

ty’s rules & discipline apply to all, adding that he hoped Congress Pres ident Mallikarjun Kharge would take a de cision in matter soon.

Interestingly, after this, when CM Gehlot was questioned about the Pilot’s comment, he said that Pilot should not have said so. “Politicians should not pass such com ments. KC Venugopal had issued guidelines & advised to not pass such remarks. Rahul Gandhi is toiling hard so that pressure is cre ated on the Centre & we are working to re peat Congress govern ment,” Gehlot said.

Baran: Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will be on a tour of Baran district today. Gehlot is sched uled to reach Baran at around 2 pm. Prepara tions are being made on a war footing. State Mines & Animal Hus bandry Minister Pramod Jain Bhaya, Zila Pramukh Urmila Jain Bhaya & MLA Pa nachand Meghwal took meetings of Congress men to ensure a sizea ble number of attend ees for Gehlot’s visit at Shribadan Balajidham.

It is estimated that about 1 lakh people could attend Gehlot’s public meeting. Along with this, food arrange ments are also being made for 50 - 60,000 peo ple. Apart from this, other arrangements in cluding parking , drink ing water are being fi nalised.

Jaipur: A new picture of politics was seen on Tuesday in Raj, where CM Gehlot shared stage with PM Modi. BJP lead ers showed maturity in Pushkar, where MP Bha girath Chaudhary & MLA Suresh Rawat wel comed CM and shared stage with him at Push kar fair. Earlier, at inau guration of City Park in Mansarovar, BJP MLA Ashok Lahoti attended CM’s event. Indeed, poli ticians may have rivalry in ideology but join hands for development.

He said only 13 months were left for the assembly polls in Ra jasthan & whatever de cisions are to be taken, like CLP meet the AICC would take them soon.

Pilot further said par

Along with this, the CM will also participate in the Deep awali Sneh Milan Sa maroh of the Congress workers.

Jaipur: Food and Civil Supplies Minister Pratap Singh Khachari yawas has openly ex pressed displeasure over dominance of bu reaucracy in Rajasthan. He has raised a demand for action by targeting transferred Secretary from Food Department. The Minister has ex pressed his displeasure by writing a letter to CM Gehlot.

On the other hand, Congress MLA Divya

Maderna has targeted the bureaucracy, sup porting Khachariya was’s point.

“Our 46,000 tonnes of wheat has lapsed. This was a month ago. I called the meeting & reprimanded the offic ers. The way IAS offic ers are working, isn’t correct. I have written to CM to take action against officers, who were responsible for peoples’ wheat lapse. I called up the CMO. I have written a letter to the CM that you do not

write the ACR (Annual Confidential Report) of IAS officers. Let us write the ACR,” he said.

“When you give the ministers the right to

fill the ACR, then the IAS officer will im prove. Otherwise, they will not listen,” he said.

Khachariyawas said despite repeated orders of the government, there were many distur bances. The officer who made the mistake was sent on prime posting in Akshay Urja Nigam.

“I have written a letter to the CM asking him to take action against of ficer Ashutosh Ped nekar. Yesterday I called CS also,” the Minister said.

HC rejects Pareek’s PIL, stresses dept enquiry can continue even if criminal court rejects charges!

First India Bureau

Jaipur: Segregating be tween a departmental enquiry and a criminal investigation, in a major decision, the Rajasthan High Court denied any relief to former Assis tant Tax Commissioner (Excise) Sushil Pareek and observed that even in case of discharge by the Criminal Court, the departmental proceed ings may continue against an employee. The Court observed that prin ciples applicable in the matter of setting in mo

tion a departmental en quiry are markedly dif ferent from those which are applicable in crimi nal proceedings. There after, the High Court dis missed the petition of Assistant Tax Commis

sioner Sushil Pareek.

On August 2, 2022, the order of CAT was chal lenged in the High Court after the CAT rejected the application filed against the departmen tal inquiry on 2.08.22 The

petition stated that the investigation has been started on the basis of oral complaints. Howev er, Central government’s lawyer Kinshuk Jain protested and said, “This investigation is com

pletely correct and has been done on the basis of sufficient evidence.

After which a division bench of Justice MM Srivastava and Justice Vinod Kumar Bharwani dismissed the petition and gave the order, “If the criminal court had rejected the charge, then too, a department can continue its departmen tal enquiry against its officer. The principles applied in criminal pro ceedings are different from principles applied to speed up investiga tions.”

It is our endeavor to increase the per cap ita income and happi ness index in the state, Gehlot said and also ap pealed to the people of the state to live in har mony, love and harmo ny. He said that he would not tolerate vio lence in the state.

Decisions taken in education, employment and employee interests

Gehlot said that the State Government has provided strength to the students and parents by launching several schemes including ‘Ma hatma Gandhi English Medium School’, ‘Mukhyamantri Anu priti Coaching Scheme’ and ‘Rajiv Gandhi Scholarship for Aca demic Excellence’. “So far 1.30 lakh govern ment jobs have been given. Around 1 lakh posts are under recruit ment process. One lakh jobs have been an nounced in the budget 2022-23. In such a situa tion, Rajasthan has also become a leading state in providing govern ment jobs in the coun try. The future of the state employees has been secured by re-in troducing the old pen sion scheme from a hu

man point of view,” he said.

ERCP should get national project status

The Chief Minister said that there is a continu ous demand from the Central Government to give the status of Na tional Project to the Eastern Rajasthan Ca nal Project (ERCP) which is important for ensuring irrigation and drinking water supply in 13 districts. He as sured the people of the state that even if the central government does not declare a na tional project, the state government will take it forward with its own resources.

CM visited exhibition and interacted with the beneficiaries Gehlot visited the exhi bition based on flagship schemes of various de partments and inquired about well being of kids who had undergone heart surgery under Chiranjeevi Yojana and beneficiaries of other schemes.

EXQUISITE ARTISTRY

The term Banarasi refers to a saree made in the ancient city of Varanasi, also known as Banaras. The sarees are among

the best in India and they are renowned for their luxurious needlework, exquisite silk as well as gold and silver brocade, or zari. The sarees are relatively heavy due to the detailed engravings and highly woven silk used in their construction. These sarees are distinguished by their intricate interwoven floral and foliate motifs, kalga and bel and a string of erect leaves known as jhallar at the outer edge of the border. A saree can take anything between fifteen days and a month,

The “Khandaani” Indian heirlooms that have been passed down through the centuries and are reported to have been mentioned in the mythical Mahabharata writings are known as Banarasi.

PHOTOGRAPHY: AN AFFAIR WITH LIFE

An extravagant exhibition preview, 'Photography: An Affair With Life' by artist Aekam was organised at Bikaner House on Wednesday. Sachin Pilot, MLA Tonk, Former Minister of IT, Telecom & Corporate Affairs, GoI, Commissioned officer graced the occasion as the chief guest and appreciated the artworks of artists.

While interacting with the media, artist Aekam described her artworks including The Banarasi Effect, Indian Jungles: A Teenage Lens and The people of Kashmir.

During the exhibition, Dhiraj Srivastava, Com-

missioner Rajasthan Foundation, Shubhra Singh and ACS cum CRC were present as the special guests.

On the occasion, while describing the Banarasi effect Aekam said, "Most of the photographs exhibited in the exhibition are inspired by my reallife experience, during my trip to Banaras, I tried to capture the essence and the beauty of the coexistence of life and death in religion. They also celebrate the coexistence of Varanasi's deep past and its present". While my Indian Jungles photographs are woven into India's deep history as a myth and legend. My aim with this exhibition is to encourage my generation to explore Indian jungles as a worthwhile addition to their intellectual and emotional resume and to recall for them the thrill of early naturalists who did not have the benefit of photography. This is my small endeavour to convince people that waking up at 4 am to go on a jungle safari is to willingly and gainfully intersect our

paths with those of our fellow creatures and that jungle delights are more rewarding than likes and followers", the artist added.

The talented artist also described her experience in Kashmir and her photographs based on the People of Kashmir and said, "There is no complete concept of India without Kashmir. On the map, it sits as the proud crown of the subcontinent, its mighty peaks capped with abodes of gods and rivers running along its deep, primordial valleys. Although the pictureperfect landscape is the dominant reason for her honorific 'Heaven on earth'.

The portraits on exhibition aim to bring more attention to this rather unexplored part of Kashmir, her soul and her people. Piyali Dasgupta, Smriti Malhotra, Sumeet Kumar, Zahir Khan, Vahid Mirza, Iftikar Ahmed, Pratibha Praladh, Dr Leslie D Joynes, Atul Rajani, Dr Amandeep Singh and Mukta Sharma among others were present in the exhibition.
