Mamata calls for action from industry
With work on full swing for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, the government is aiming at running the prestigious train by 2023, Union Minister for Railways Suresh Prabhu said on Tuesday. Prabhu, who was in Mehsana to lay foundation stone for several railway projects in Gujarat, said “Our full concentration is on Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train and we are trying to complete the project and run the train by 2023. On Tuesday, Prabhu inaugurated several railway projects
including electrification and gauge conversion of Ahmedabad-Mehsana track as well as a third line between Ahmedabad and Vatva. As announced during the budget, Prabhu reiterated the fact that the government was setting up a university in Vadodara. “We have decided to set up country’s first railway university in Gujarat at Vadodara in the coming days. Currently 35 dif-
ferent projects are going on in the state including modernisation of Surat and Gandhinagar railway stations,” Prabhu said. Among the projects inaugurated on Tuesday included Mehsana-Tarangahill gauge conversion project, Modasa-Shamalaji new line, Bhuj-Naliya gauge conversion, Somnath-Kodinar new line, Miyagam-Samlaya gauge conversion and

VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi sparked off another controversy on Tuesday saying it is time to make India free of Muslims. Known for courting controversies, the Sadhvi claimed the mission of a Congress-free India has already been “accomplished” and it is now time to rid the country of Muslims. “Now that we have achieved the mission of making a Congress-free India, it is time to make India Muslim-free. We are working on that,” she said in Roorkee where at least
32 people were injured last week in a clash between two communities over forcible evacuation of a scrap dealer’s shop. Khanpur MLA Kunwar Pranav Singh Champion’s house was attacked by members of a community alleging their sacred book was also dese-
crated by his supporters. The Sadhvi claimed that the attack on Champion’s house was part of a “premeditated” conspiracy. Champion, one of the nine Congress MLAs who revolted against chief minister Harish Rawat, recently joined BJP. On the forth-
coming Uttar Pradesh assembly polls, she said if BJP projects Yogi Adityananth as its chief ministerial candidate, it was bound to win 300 seats in the state. Prachi had often been in the news for asking people to boycott films of Bollywood Khans and demanding a CBI probe into all Muslim educational institutions including Aligarh Muslim University and madrasas in Deoband to check anti- national activities.
so far people are happy with our work,” Prabhu further said. According to Prabhu, Mehsana is
known for milk, cotton and oil trade across India and gauge conversion of Ahmedabad-Mehsana route will help to improve trade from here. After the foundation laying ceremony, Prabhu in-
teracted with local leaders and party workers of Mehsana, Gandhinagar, Patan, Banaskantha and Sabarkantha district. Prabhu also attended ‘Vikas Parv Sammelan’ in Mehsana.

Why India’s NSG ambition may still be a distant dream..?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi may have scored a measure of diplomatic victory by winning Swiss backing for entry into the 48-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) but, due to China ‘s continuous opposition, India will still have to wait a bit longer to break into the elite club that regulates global nuclear trade. China has also been insisting that if any concession is given to India, a non-signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the same should apply to Pakistan that has allegedly been caught selling atomic weapons technology to Libya. It seems that the United States is doing more than its bit to facilitate India’s membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), a group that had ironically come into existence in the wake of India’s first nuclear test explosion in 1974. India’s NSG membership is the informal part of the India-US civil nuclear deal of 2005. The Americans are also pressing for the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) to approve India’s entry in a show of hurry even as Italy held out because of the impending trial of the two Italian marines accused of killing two Indian fishermen. The US should be able to overcome Italy’s huff and resistance. India on its part had joined the voluntary Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missiles. While India is keen to join the NSG because it would make so much easier for the country to access uranium for running its nuclear power stations without too much hassle, it is curious as to why the US is so keen to facilitate the Indian membership. The reason seems to be that Washington is keen on New Delhi becoming part of the American defence shield against terrorists in West Asia on the one hand, and against China in the South China Sea. Of course, security and strategy experts in India and in the US would not accept that there is such a crude quid pro quo in the move behind the American support for India’s membership in the NSG. It should come as no surprise that China had objected to India’s membership and that Pakistan too wants to be admitted to the NSG. There is not much need to argue India’s case because New Delhi’s place and role in the international network is determined both by its economy and by its well-articulated opposition to deter a nuclear war. In comparison, Pakistan’s economy has not yet become a crucial component of the global markets for countries like the US and the European Union to make diplomatic concessions. Secondly, there is the acute fear in the Western capitals that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is vulnerable and that it may fall into the hands of terrorists.

The latest song from the Salman Khan-starrer Sultan is out and it’s pleasant to the ears.

Ekk Albela ‘Needed a Star Like Vidya Balan,’ Says Mangesh Desai Agency | New Delhi
Agency | Mumbai Film-makers Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar have extended their support to the Udta Punjab team amid the Censor Board succumbing to political pressure, thereby suggesting that the Shahid Kapoor-starrer should not be set in the state. Both Bollywood A-listers took to their respective Twitter handles to share their thoughts on the ongoing controversy. With a reference to the dictator regime of North Korea, the Dev-D director added his voice to the actors and film-makers, who have accused the Board of interfering with artistic freedom. “There is
no film more honest than UDTA PUNJAB And any person or party opposing it is actually GUILTY of promoting drugs,” Anurag said in his tweet. The Kuch Kuch Hota Hai director on his part said that the Bollywood fraternity must stand by what is right. The ongoing censor issue just got political as the Censor Board doesn’t want the movie to be set in Punjab. After Censor Board refused to issue a certificate to the Abhishek Chaubey-directed film, the Revising Committee of Censor Board has now given even harsher suggestions to the makers, in order to obtain the certificate.

Marathi actor Mangesh Desai said that he has no qualms about the spotlight being on his co-star Vidya Balan in their upcoming film Ekk Albela. Ekk Albela traces the journey of Bhagwan Dada’s film career as an actor and director and Vidya’s role is credited as a special appearance. “I am not worried about the focus being on Vidya. If there would have been some other actress from the Marathi film industry, then the film would have been of the same level. The film needed a star like Vidya,” Mangesh said. “Vidya is the USP of the film and the producers would have felt it correct to have her in the film and be a part of the
promotions. I am happy and ok that Vidya’s name is used first for this film,” added Mangesh. Initially, Mangesh was scared to shoot with Vidya. “I was frightened as she (Vidya) is the superstar of Hindi cinema. I thought she will overpower me and whether we will have a tuning or not. When I started working with her, I felt that she is down to earth and
a very warm and sweet person,” said Mangesh. Mangesh revealed that he was mesmerised by Vidya’s patience. After the film wrapped, Vidya gifted an idol of Krishna to Mangesh. “While giving the gift, she (Vidya) said rise like the sun. She liked my work. It feels great when someone like her praises you,” said Mangesh.

4 / Dt. 08-06-2016, Wednesday In a month, three pleas in Gujarat HC against EWS quota
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
A month after the state government’s ordinance for 10 per cent reservation for economically weaker sections (EWS) among upper castes, at least three petitions have been filed in the High Court challenging the provision as unconstitutional and contrary to fundamental rights. The High Court Monday sought response from Advocate General on a petition challenging the ordinance. Earlier, on May 31 following a similar petition, the High Court had issued a notice to the state government. On Monday, a public
interest litigation (PIL) was filed, challenging the same ordinance. On May 1, the state government had issued the Gujarat Unreserved Economically Weaker Sections (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions in the State and of Appointments and Posts in Services under the State) Ordinance, 2016, against the backdrop of the agitation by Patidar community seeking reservation. The first petitioner Jayantbhai Manani, Rajkot-based writer, has pleaded the court to quash the notification saying that such a provision is contrary to judgment (Indra Sawhney Vs Union of India) delivered by the Supreme Court in 1992 which had challenged quota for OBC on the recommendation of the Mandal Commission.
