W ith Bengal elections round the corner Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday made a successful use of a Government pro- gramme organised to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose even as he linked India’s soaring mili- tary prowess and Atma Nirbhar to Netaji’s Azaadi dreams. Referring to “one of the greatest sons of the country” as the “first Prime Minister of undivided India” Modi said Bose would have been hugely pleased with the current day’s self reliance drive made by his Government. “Steady eradica- tion of poverty, hunger, illiter- acy, adoption of scientific tech- niques and strong borders was the crux of Netaji’s concept of Azaadi (freedom),” Modi said. The greatest of freedom movement would have been “highly pleased to see how Indian strength was flourishing from LAC to LoC and how it posses and manufactures state of the art aircraft like Rafale and Tejas,” said Modi, adding Atma Nirbhar (self reliance) drive made by his Government was what Netaji wanted. “The way we handled the biggest pandemic of the centu- ry and the way we are manu- facturing and exporting vac- cines to other countries too would have Netaji proud,” he said adding how his Government was pursuing the policies that was once envi- sioned by Netaji. “Today we have a national education pol- icy in place and are coming up with IITs, IIMs and other such institutions and legislations to take India from strength to strength… would not Netaji be proud of the developments that we are making today… he cer- tainly would have,” Modi said. “Today India is retaliating in equal measures whenever its sovereignty is being challenged on the borders,” said Modi adding how the concept of “Sonar Bangla” (golden Bengal) — a political coinage of the BJP taken out of Tagore’s works — was inspired by Netaji. “The concept of Sonar Bangla fits with Netaji’s vision of India and Bengal and it is in this regard that the policy of self reliance should be applied both in the State and the entire country,” Modi said. In what local analysts said a clever ploy to use Netaji ahead of the elections, Modi said “though every drop of our blood is indebted to Netaji and though we cannot pay back his debt a time has come to remember his contributions to Indian freedom struggle through various programmes”. One such initiative the Prime Minister said was the renaming of Howrah Kalka Mail as Netaji Subhas Express. Modi’s “finely decorated and well-packaged” statements was aimed at not only the Congress which is often regarded as the mastermind behind the disregard and aban- donment Netaji suffered in the pages of history but also sup- port the BJP’s cause in election bound Bengal, experts said. “On the 125th birth anniversary of the leader, I bow to him on behalf of the grate- ful nation. Today, I also salute this virtuous land of Bengal, which made the child Subhash Netaji,” Modi said. Addressing the Prakram Diwas celebrations in the city, Modi said, “On this day, that brave son was born in the lap of Mother Bharati, who gave a new direction to the dream of independent India.” “On this very day, there was that consciousness in the darkness of slavery, who stood in front of the biggest power of the world and said, I will not ask you for freedom, I will take it away,” Modi said in his trib- ute to Bose. Earlier in the day, Modi paid floral tributes at Netaji Bose’s statue at the National Library in the city. Modi went around seeing paintings by around 100 artists on a 40-metre long canvas on the sprawling lawns of Belvedere House at the National Library compound. He was accompanied by West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar. “His bravery and ideals inspire every Indian. His contribution to India is indeli- ble. India bows to the great Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. PM@narendramodi began his Kolkata visit and #ParakramDivas programmes by paying homage to Netaji Bose at Netaji Bhawan,” Prime Minister’s Office said in a tweet after PM Modi reached Kolkata. Turn to Page 6 T he Delhi Police on Saturday gave permission to protest- ing farmers’ unions to hold their tractor rally on January 26 in the city. Meanwhile, Anil Mittal, the Additional Public Relations Officer (APRO) of Delhi Police, claimed that the police and farmers’ unions are in final stage of talks for the routes regarding tractor rally. After attending the meet- ing with Delhi Police, its coun- terparts Haryana and Uttar Pradesh Police, farmers’ union member Abhimanyu Kohar said the tractor parades will start from Ghazipur, Singhu and Tikri border points of Delhi, but details will be finalised on Saturday night. Kohar claimed that the Delhi Police has given its nod to the farmers’ tractor parade on Republic Day in the nation- al Capital. Another farmer leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni said as thousands of farmers will par- ticipate in the parade, there will be no single route. Farmer leader Darshan Pal said barri- cades set up at Delhi border points will be removed on January 26 and farmers will take out tractor rallies after entering the national Capital. Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana, have been protesting at several Delhi border points against the Centre’s new agri- culture laws for nearly two months. The unions repre- senting the farmers have begun holding tractor rallies at villages in Punjab to mobilise people for the demonstration on Republic Day. The farmers are vehe- mently opposing the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; the Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020. Enacted in September last year, the three laws have been projected by the Centre as major reforms in the agricul- ture sector that will remove middlemen and allow farmers to sell their produce anywhere in the country. However, the protesting farmers have expressed their apprehension that the new laws would pave the way for eliminating the safety cushion of MSP (minimum support price) and do away with the “mandi” (wholesale market) system, leaving them at the mercy of big corporates. J awans of the Border Security Force (BSF) on Saturday detected another 150-metre long and 30-feet deep cross- border tunnel, fourth in the last six months, in the Pansar area of Kathua district. The tunnel was detected between border pillar number 14 and 15. A similar tunnel was detected barely 10 days ago in the Bobiya area of Samba sec- tor on January 13. Ground reports suggested the starting point of the tunnel was located closer to two Pakistani border outposts Abhiyal Dogra and Kingre- de-Kothe located in Shakargarh area. On the Indian side, the local BSF commanders passed necessary instructions to their foot soldiers to remain in a state of high alert in the run up to the Republic Day celebrations as Pakistani rangers may try to push heavily armed infiltrators inside the Indian territory to launch terror attacks on vital security installations. Till the time of filing the report the BSF authorities were trying to ascertain whether the same tunnel was recently put to use by the Pakistan- based handlers to push a group of terrorists inside the Indian territory. After supervising the tunnel on ground zero, Inspector General of BSF, Jammu Frontier NS Jamwal told reporters, “The tunnel was detected by the BSF troops during an ongoing anti tun- neling drive launched in the area on Saturday”. He said after receiving intelligence inputs about the presence of another tunnel an extensive drive was carried out in the forward area which resulted in detection of this tunnel. Briefing media persons, IG BSF also claimed the tunnel was designed on the same pat- tern as all previous tunnels. “Without the active connivance of Pakistani establishment and their consent it is not possible to come closer to the zero line,” he said.

Bharti, however, was granted bail to enable him to file an appeal before the High Court against his conviction in the case and jail term. The AAP on Saturday said that “injustice” has been meted out to Bharti. “We respect the judiciary and have full faith in the judiciary. However, we feel injustice has happened to Bharti in this case,” the party said in a statement. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ravindra Kumar Pandey also imposed a fine of one lakh on the AAP leader. According to the prosecu- tion, on September 9, 2016, Bharti, along with nearly 300 others, brought down the fence of a boundary wall at AIIMS here with a JCB operator. “The court is of the con- sidered view that the prosecu- tion has duly proved its case beyond all reasonable doubt against accused Bharti,” the magistrate said. The court convicted Bharti for various offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including under sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 353 (assault or use of criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) and 147 (rioting). It also held the AAP MLA guilty under section 3 (mischief causing damage to public prop- erty) of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. The offences carry a max- imum punishment of five years in jail.

The latest talks take place after a gap of nearly two months and chances of a major break- through are unlikely. The logjam is persisting as China wants India to first with- draw its troops from the heights of southern and northern banks of the Pangong Tas (lake).

    reacted to Jai Shri Ram slogansraised by BJP supporters atBarrackpore and WestMidnapore during 2019 gener-al elections inviting large-scalecriticism from the people.

    “ Bengal Minister ParthoChatterjee faulted the saffronGovernment for “planting themischief mongers inside theaugust programme to createpolitical mischief.” BJP’sobserver for Bengal KailashVijaybargiya justified the slo-ganeering saying “the audiencewas just welcoming the Chief

    Minister but she discov-ered politics in it … where wasthere a politics in shouting JaiShri Ram.” Senior TMC MPSaugato condemned “indeco-rous conduct” of the BJP mensaying “Jai Shri Ram is BJP’spolitical slogan and everyoneknows it … They could havegiven this slogan elsewhere butnot in a Government pro-gramme … It was intentional-ly done to provoke MamataBanerjee and she has done theright thing by boycotting thespeech.” Making a strong pitchfor declaring January 23 anational holiday at a partyrally during the day, Banerjeesaid “for long we have beendemanding the day to bedeclared as a national holiday… a time has come when thisshould be done.”

    Also demanding “declassi-fication of defence files onNetaji,” the Chief Ministerasked for making four separatecapitals for India where parlia-ment sessions can be held inrotation. “Why Delhi should bethe only capital … there shouldbe four capitals in four regionswhere parliament sessions maybe held in rotation,” Banerjeesaid. In a circuitous attack onPrime Minister’s party for try-ing divide India along commu-nal lines and appropriatepower, Banerjee earlier saidthat “Netaji was always forunity and he did not supportdivide and rule policy whichsome people are pursuing thesedays.” Questioning the “realintention” behind slogans like

    “one nation one election, orone nation one leader etc,”Banerjee said “this is beingdone to appropriate the entirepower and get rid of the oppo-sition.”

    whether the vaccine is thereason for triggering theunderlying heart disease,” hesaid as he pointed out that themajority of the population inIndia are having heart-relatedhealth issues. In fact, the twodeaths reported in the lastthree days, one each fromMeerut and Bellary inKarnataka were attributed tothe cardio-related health ail-ments.
