    Bhupinder Hooda: Government’s policies discourage sportspersons

    Targeting the BJP-JJP government, former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said here today said that the government’s “flip-flop sports policies” had resulted in discouragement among sportspersons in the state, known as the hub of India’s sports prowess. Addressing a gathering at a function to felicitate the world boxing champion Saweety Boora at her native Ghiray village here, Hooda alleged that this government’s “unsteady policy” had harmed the sports culture in Haryana. “During the Congress regime, I had honoured the sports achievers with the class I and class II jobs. But now, the government is offering class III and class IV jobs. I am pained at seeing such a scenario,” he said.

    The former CM said players like Saweety Boora, who brought laurels to the country by winning medals in international sports, would be made DSPs when the Congress government was formed in the state. Saweety Boora had won a gold medal in the Women’s World Boxing Championships.

    “During the Congress tenure, a sports policy was formulated to encourage the youths of Haryana towards sports and to encourage sportspersons. Under the ‘Padak Lao, Pad Pao’ policy, the government honoured more than 750 sportspersons by giving them direct appointments to government posts. Under the sports policy, players were given appointments on higher posts like the DSP. Along with this, a 3% quota was given to sportspersons in Group-C and Group-D jobs so that youths participating in sports do not feel insecure about their future and livelihood,” Hooda stated.

    He alleged that the present government had stopped offering jobs like the DSP to players. “Moreover, sports quota in jobs is also almost abolished. The government is not maintaining sports stadiums that were built in every village during the Congress tenure. It is clear from the activities of the government that it wants to make Haryana’s youths drug addicts, not players,” he alleged. Later, the former CM also went to the dharna organised by the Road Bachao Sangharsh Samiti at Talwandi Rana village today and supported their demand for the construction of a road from Hisar to Talwandi Rana as per the demands of local residents.

    Hooda also demanded judicial inquiry into the allegations of activities of the land mafia around the airport in Hisar.

    Meanwhile, Hooda’s vehicle hit a blue bull (nilgai) near Matlauda village on the Barwala-Kheri Chopta road in Hisar. He escaped unhurt. The front side of the SUV was damaged. Later, CM Manohar Lal Khattar telephoned Hooda and enquired about his well-being.

This is a violation of their right to celebrate festivals.” Taking cognizance of the statements and considering them to be inflammatory, an FIR was registered against them.

  • Law Minister Kiren Rijiju differences between government and judiciary, supports independence of judiciary

    Law Minister Kiren Rijiju differences between government and judiciary, supports independence of judiciary

    Denying any clash between the government and judiciary as speculated in the media, Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday contended that differences were inevitable in a democracy but they should not be construed as confrontation.

    The Minister inaugurated the Chief Judicial Magistrate court, Mayiladuthurai, in the presence of Chief Justice of India Justice D Y Chandrachud, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin and Acting Chief Justice of Madras High Court Justice T Raja here.

    “We have differences, but it doesn’t mean there is confrontation. It sends a wrong message across the world. I want to make it clear that there is no problem between different organs of the State. There are signs of robust democratic actions, which are not a crisis,” he emphasised.

    Pointing to some media reports of alleged differences between the government and the Supreme Court or the legislature and judiciary, the Union Minister said, “we must understand that we are in a democracy. There are bound to be certain differences in terms of some outlook but you can’t have conflicting positions. This doesn’t mean confrontation. We are the largest democracy in the world.” The Centre would support the Indian judiciary to be independent, he said, and called upon the bench and the bar — being two sides of the same coin — to work together to ensure that the court complex is not divided. “One can’t exist without the other. Court must have proper decorum and conducive atmosphere.” Talking about fund allocations, he said last year the government had allotted Rs 9,000 crore for district and other courts in the State, and his department was pushing hard for utilisation of funds so that more could be sought.

    “In some States, I realised that requirement of court and understanding of government has some shortcomings,” Rijiju said.

    The government would like the Indian judiciary to go completely paperless in the near future. “With the coming of technological support, everything can be synchronised so that the judge will not have to postpone cases for want of evidence, or bunch cases and other issues. Works are under process and I could sense we are going towards a major solution (for pendency),” he said.

    There may be separation of powers between the executive and the judiciary but that did not mean they shouldn’t work together, the Law Minister asserted.

    “We should work as a team to identify and ensure that challenges like pendency of cases are tackled,” he said, adding, “In India, every judge is handling 50-60 cases every day. If I had to deal with so many cases, the mental pressure would be tremendous. That is why sometimes there is constant criticism that judges are unable to deliver justice, which is not true.” He pointed out that disposal of cases has been done faster. But the number of cases coming up was also higher. The only way was to have better infrastructure and better mechanism and to strengthen the Indian judiciary.

    On delivering justice to common man, Rijiju said he would be happy to see all the courts in Tamil Nadu use the Tamil language in its proceedings. “In the High Court there is a challenge…Tamil is a classical language and we’re proud of it. We would like to see it being used. With the increase in technology, advancement of legal transcripts, maybe some day Tamil language can be used in Supreme Court also,” the Minister said.

    Today when the punishment has been decided. So what is the objection of the Congress government to its mention in the House. This is the decision of the court. The Congress is unnecessarily blaming the BJP for this.
