Chandigarh, Jan 16 :  Punjab Congress on Wednesday suspended its MLA from Zira from the party on the charge of indiscipline, days after his public outburst at an event. 

The state unit had earlier issued a show cause notice the legislator Kulbir Singh Zira after he had alleged inaction against contractors selling illicit liquor.

"Kulbir Singh Zira has been suspended from the primary membership of the party for indiscipline," Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jakhar told reporters here on Wednesday. 

Jakhar said Zira should not have aired his grievance at a public function. He could have raised his matter at party forum.

On January 12, Zira had left his party embarrassed after he boycotted a district level function in protest against alleged inaction against contractors selling illicit liquor in Ferozepur.

He had even accused some police officers including one of an IG rank of being in cahoots with such liquor contractors.                                   PTI

Panaji, Sep 27: Ailing Goa BJP legislator Francis D'Souza, who was recently dropped from the Manohar Parrikar- led Cabinet, said Thursday he would resign from the state party's core committee once he returns from the US.

Dismissing rumours of resigning from the post of MLA as a mark of protest, D'Souza, who is admitted at a hospital in the US for an undisclosed ailment, said this is his fight for "self-respect".

Parrikar, who is admitted in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi because of a pancreatic ailment, had Monday dropped BJP ministers D'Souza and Pandurang Madkaikar from his Cabinet.

BJP MLAs Milind Naik and Nilesh Cabral were inducted in their places.

D'Souza, who headed the Urban Development Department, was unhappy over his removal from the state Cabinet, and had asked if this was the reward given to him by the party for his 20-year-long loyalty.

"I will resign from the Goa BJP unit's core committee once I am back on October 15. I don't want anything from the party in future. Even if offered, I will not take up any government position," D'Souza told over the phone.

The core committee is the BJP's key decision-making body in Goa, comprising senior leaders like Parrikar, Union minister Shripad Naik and party state chief Vinay Tendulkar, among others.

"I am fighting for my self-respect. If you can't respect that, then I don't want anything from you. It's all over," said D'Souza, who got elected on the BJP ticket from Mapusa constituency in North Goa district for the past two decades.

Asserting that he would not quit as an MLA, he said, "I have been elected by my voters for five years, so there is no question of resigning as legislator. If I resign, I would be disrespecting my voters."

He said it was the chief minister's right to keep or drop him from the Cabinet.

"Nobody can interfere in the chief minister's right. There is no role of the party high command in my dismissal from the cabinet," he said.

However, criticising Parrikar's style of functioning, he said the chief minister does not take advice from anyone, including the party high command.

D'Souza alleged that "few leaders" in the BJP were trying to get him removed from the party since 2012.

"May be they felt that I overstayed in their party. Usually, any guest should not overstay. I have been there for too long in the BJP," he said.

Claiming that he had joined the BJP on Parrikar's request, D'Souza said he would not advise his son, who is aiming for a political career in Mapusa, to join the party. (PTI)

Lucknow, Apr 12: The Uttar Pradesh government has denied to arrest rape accused BJP MLA from Bangarmau , Unnao Kuldeep Singh Senger who is charged under POSCO Act, and put the onus on Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI).
"We have recommended for a CBI probe into all the charges against the MLA including the gangrape of the victim and the death of her father in judicial custody. The Government would be sending the recommendation letter today to the Home Ministry and now it is up to the central agency to take action against the legislator," said state Principal Secretary (Home) Arvind Kumar and Director General of Police (DGP) O P Singh in a joint press conference on Thursday.
'As the case has been recommended to the CBI, hence there was no reason seen to initiate any action against the MLA. The SIT formed by the state police will continue its investigation and collect evidence in the case," the DGP said, vehemently denying that the government was trying to protect the MLA.
The officials also could not answer on the media's volley of questions that what will happen if CBI delays to takeover the investigation of the case or refuses it. Besides, they were also mum when asked as to why the government was obliging the MLA charged in a POSCO case when police instantly arrests a person under such sections.
When the DGP was asked as to why he addressed MLA Senger as 'Mananiya' (honourable), the DGP said the lawmaker was just an accused and not a convict.
According to Mr Kumar, a case has been registered on Wednesday night at Makhi police station in Unnao against the MLA and some others under section 363,366, 376 and 506 along with POSCO Act. One Shashi Singh has also been named in the FIR, lodged on the complaint of the mother of the victim. UNI

He also stressed on the point that the 5300 families who have settled outside the state have been denied compensation till date, but they must be included in the list for the package as they are also the sufferers of same distress.
Sat Sharma lamented that for the decades filled with long years of distress and distraught, the families who were forced to abandon their homes while parting with the lives of many of their near and dear ones including the loss in terms of property and livestock, it becomes the first duty of the government to make out the best effort to dress their wounds, but the successive governments in the past never cared for their plights and only pursued their vested agendas. He stressed that only the BJP under the strong leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi took concrete steps to give healing touch to these deprived sections.
Hon’ble Minister in the reply assured that the cases will be processed on the fast track basis in a time bound mechanism and every effort will be done to address their issues.
