Woman SP transferred for arguing with Haryana health minister Anil Vij
Woman IPS transferred for arguing Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar told reporters in Karnal that he had taken cognizance of the matter and it will be dealt with appropriately
Agency | Chandigarh The BJP government in Haryana came under Opposition fire on Saturday for its decision to move a woman IPS officer who was involved in a verbal spat with controversial Health Minister Anil Vij the day before — the incident was captured on TV cameras and the video went viral on social media. Sangeeta Rani Kalia, SP of Fatehabad district, has now been posted as Commandant 4th IRB at Manesar after she refused to leave a public
grievance meeting on being asked to “get out” by the minister who was irked with her response to a query on illicit liquor trade in the area. Vij subsequently stormed out of the District Grievances and Public Relations Committee in Fatehabad. While the Opposition slammed Vij over the transfer, the chairman of National Commission for Scheduled Castes, P L Punia, demanded that he be sacked. The 35-yearold Kalia’s father Dharam Pal retired as a paint-
er from the Fatehabad police in 2010, the same year she joined state police as an IPS officer after passing the civil services in her third attempt. Kalia refused to comment on the transfer. “I am ready to pay any price and make sacrifice for getting justice for people who face harassment at the hands of administration,” said Vij. Congress leader Manish Tewari said the minister acted in a “crude manner”. “You don’t behave with a lady in this manner irrespec-

Former media baron Peter Mukejea underwent a lie-detector test on Saturday in connection with the three-year old sensational murder of his step daughter Sheena Bora. CBI sources said several questions about the crime, his conversations with his wife Indrani Mukerjea and his own statements were put to him during the test by CBI officials at the Central Forensic Science Laboratory.

Vij’s behaviour would “demoralise bureaucrats”. “This is not the way Khattar’s ministers should treat their bureaucrats. One does not tell a lady officer to get out like this,” said Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar. Vij has been a controversial figure in the Khattar

‘Mahajokepal’: Kejriwal like Modi, doesn’t like to be questioned, says Bhushan
2 / Dt. 29-11-2015, Sunday Editors’ Picks sunday, NOVEMBER 29, 2015 Underlined the constitutional spirit that binds government and opposition The prime minister was in fine form on Friday. In the morning, he issued an invitation to Congress President Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to talk about the stalled legislation on the goods and services tax, over tea. That same evening, he delivered an address to Parliament, bringing the Constitution Day debate in the Lok Sabha to a close, in which the binding theme was the acknowledgement of a shared commitment to the rules of the game. That morning gesture is a heartening first. The rancour of the 2014 Lok Sabha campaign has yet to fade from the public-political space, and the just-concluded election in Bihar only seemed to renew the acrimony. In this moment, when both the ruling party and the parties of the Opposition have seemed to be bracing for an especially bitter parliamentary confrontation, the PM’s tea diplomacy does well to break the negative pattern. PM Modi seemed to carry the same spirit onto the floor of the House, remembering and emphasising the ideas and ideals that constitute a nation — as he said at the very beginning of his speech, the discussion on the Constitution should not be reduced to “you and I”, its purpose was to serve as a reminder of a “we”. What is it, asked the PM, that makes the Constitution a document that abides and inspires, in a changing world? What is that width of vision, that makes B.R. Ambedkar, who led the constitution-making project, an icon who can be appropriated and owned, not just by one party and school of thought, or one generation and social section, but by one and all? It is because the Indian Constitution is not just a legal document, it is a “samajik dastavez” or a social compact as well, the PM said. And this contract that binds a diverse people mirrors in the sprawl and complexity of its concerns the sensibility that Ambedkar brought to it as a Dalit — shorn of any sense of resentment or retribution. In the Lok Sabha on Friday, PM Modi marvelled, rightly, at the capaciousness and largeheartedness of the constitutional framework. He underlined its expansiveness, and also its careful delineation of the limits of power. The PM invoked Ambedkar, whom his party is accused of trying to appropriate, but also Nehru, whom the Congress attempts to own. He spoke of the contributions made by previous governments to India’s journey and progress. He referred to what Sonia Gandhi had said in her speech — about the Constitution being only as good or bad as those who implement it — and recounted an anecdote in which Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad underlined that, offstage, political opponents can also be friends.

Agency | Panaji “Baahubali: The Beginning” may have become a huge box office success and earned praises for the use of VFX, but its cinematographer K K Senthil Kumar says he was disappointed with CGI errors which made many scenes look fake. The first part of the epic film directed by S S Rajamouli starred Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Tamannaah and Anushka
Shetty in lead roles. The movie went on to become one of the highest grossing Indian films in the country and abroad. “As a DOP, I am disappointed by a lot of things in ‘Baahubali’. There are so many scenes where there were keying mistakes, which made the CGI look fake. There were issues related to the depth of field, there are motion blurs. “So we are trying to rectify this
problem in the second film. I hope it get a slicker image,” Kumar said on the sidelines of IFFI. The cinematographer, who has also worked in films like “Magadheera”, “Arundhati”, “Eega” and has shot a song for Rohit Shetty’s much-awaited “Dilwale” starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, says for him making the second part of “Baahubali” is going to be very challenging.

Hope Priyanka’s international fame helps ‘Jai Gangaajal’: Jha
Agency | Mumbai

For the sequel to his hit 2003 cop drama “Gangaajal”, Prakash Jha has roped in Priyanka Chopra and the filmmaker hopes that actress’ new international fame will help the upcoming movie. Titled “Jai Gangaajal”, the film will see the 33-year-old actress, who has been catapulted to global fame thanks to her music videos and lead role in American TV series “Quantico”, play a tough cop. “Priyanka is the best. She has now achieved immense international popularity. With her own brand also she was fine. I hope that her international fame is good for the film,” Jha told PTI on the sidelines of IFFI.
We all have that one person in our family who constantly points out our flaws. Whether it is about our grades, our weight, or our general personality, our close relatives are quick to make us feel conscious and insecure. Prakash Kovelamudi’s Size Zero is themed around the issue of weight-loss. The director attempts to highlight
the issue of how young girls are taking drastic measures to reduce weight, the false illusion of being size zero and the preposterous practice of weight-loss clinics that promise instant results. With a strong star-cast, tight screenplay and good humour, Size Zero keeps you entertained. It tells the story of Sweety (Anushka Shetty), an overweight girl who enjoys eating
Jalebis and fortune cookies. Sweety is constantly nagged by her mother, who wishes her to get married. With a string of prospective grooms rejecting her because of her weight, a vexed Sweety decides to reject another prospective match Abhi (Arya) before they even get the chance to know each other. However, they continue to meet and quickly become friends.
Preity Zinta puts wedding rumours to rest on Twitter Agency | New Delhi
“Gangaajal” had Ajay Devgn as the lead in the role of a cop. The director said the story of the sequel made him chose a female protagonist. “It is about a system which was working very well but they need a police who didn’t interfere in the system. So they decide to get a lady officer, who will not give them any trouble and just do desk work. Little did they know that things would be different.” Jha
said he decided to make a sequel of “Gangaajal” after almost 12 years because he wanted to bring on-screen the change in relationship between the police and the common man. “It has been more than 10 years since the first story. The relationship between people and police then and now has changed. So, I think it was necessary to make a film on the changed in scenario,” he said.
Actress Preity Zinta denies all the rumours surrounding her wedding, saying she has no plans of tying the knot for a year. The Veer-Zaara star, who is dating Gene Goodenough, was reported to be getting hitched with her American boyfriend in January 2016.

The company wants to come out with smartphones that offer at least one defining feature so that they can stand apart from others in a crowded market. The Vibe S1, which Lenovo launched in India earlier this week, follows the company’s new line dot by dot. And it does so by flaunting its good looks. You see, the Vibe S1 is Lenovo’s attempt to bring premium design to the masses. It is probably the best-looking Android phone Lenovo has made so far. Some may say that the all-steel K900 had sharper looks and they wouldn’t be wrong. But overall, in terms of fit and finish, the Vibe S1 has something that no other Lenovo phone has offered in a long long a time.

Viramgam municipality elections: Japan commits to Rs 4,456 crore loan to Ahmedabad metro project Cong already 5-0, no end to BJP woes Correspondent | Viramgam
The BJP has not put up a single candidate in eight minority-dominated seats in the 36-member Viramgam municipality. The Congress will be fighting on its poll-symbol for the first time in a decade and it has already won five seats uncontested. The Viramgam municipality which has about 55,000 voters in nine wards, with a total of 36 seats, has been under the BJP rule for the last three terms since 2000. The town is also home to Hardik Patel, convenor of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), whose mother and sister were briefly detained during a roadshow by Chief Minister Anandiben Patel on Thursday.
However, the saffron party does not seem to be confident this time around in Viramgam which is among the three municipalities — the others being Dholka and Bhopal-Ghuma — of Ahmedabad district that will be electing new representatives on November 29. “We are fighting only in 28 of the 36 seats. The party has not put up candidates in eight seats, all of which fall in the wards dominated by
Muslims,” says Harshad Thakker, the general secretary of BJP’s city unit in Viramgam where about 30 percent of the population is minorities and where the male literacy is over 90 percent and female literacy is about 77 percent. When probed as to why it has not put up Muslim candidates as it has done in other parts of Gujarat, Thakker says, “We did not find good candidates in time who could represent

us in the minority areas.” In 2010, BJP had won 16 seats with the remaining 20 going to independents. Senior BJP leaders in Viramgam tell that the party might face the public ire for the poor leadership and the corruption that has been prevalent in the municipality. “Over Rs 1,100 crore of funds has flowed into the municipality during the last 15 years. But you will hardly see a sign of it on the ground. There are no internal roads, drainage is overflowing and paucity of drinking water, plague the municipality which has been under one party rule for so many years. People might end up voting for a change this time,” says a senior BJP leader who did not wish to be identified.
In a huge boost to the Rs 10,700-crore Ahmedabad metro rail project, Japan on Friday committed a loan of Rs 4,456 crore for the project. Official notes committing to the Official Development Assistance (ODA) loan were exchanged between S Selvakumar, joint secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, Government of India and Yutaka Kikuta, Charge d’Affaires, Embassy of Japan to India.
