Police today detained Patel quota stir leader Hardik Patel along with 35 of his supporters from Varachha area here for trying to take out the ‘Ekta Yatra’ without taking prior permission from authorities. “We detained Hardik Patel along with his 35 sup-porters from Mangadh chowk in Varachha area of the city ahead of their rally today,” Surat Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana. “They were detained in the interest

of law and order as they did not seek any permis-sion from the state au-thorities to take out this rally,” added Asthana. Hardik and others were taken to police head-quarters after the deten-tion, he said. Speaking to reporters condemning the police action, the 22-year-old firebrand leader said, “The Guja-rat government wants to muzzle our voice. They want to harass us.

The Gujarat high court had on Tues-day upheld the state government’s decision to impose a week-long mobile internet ban last month when riots broke out on August 25 follow-ing the arrest of Hardik Patel, the leader of the Patidar reservation stir.

Hardik, who has emerged as the prominent face of Pa-tels in Gujarat, has been spearheading the agita-tion to get reservation for Patel community under Other Backward Class (OBC). In past two weeks, Hardik had an-nounced to take out the “reverse Dandi March” twice, but canceled the plan after Navsari dis-trict administration de-

Hardik has been hogging limelight after his ag-gressive speech in a ral-ly on August 25 and the subsequent violence that gripped the state after his detention which left 10 people dead in Gujarat. The police has also been put on high alert fearing the repeat of August 25 violence that gripped the entire state. Additional security forces including BSF and CRPF are also being deployed in sen-sitive areas of cities like Ahmedabad, Mehsana and Surat, where max-imum violence was re-ported after a PAAS led massive rally in Ahmed-abad last month got out of control. Also, Section 144 was also imposed in

certain parts of the state. Blaming the Gujarat gov-ernment again for delib-erately inciting violence by his detention, Hardik Patel told media persons in Surat. “The Gujarat government wants to muzzle our voice. They want to harass us. The Gujarat government and the state police want vi-olence in the state. This act is against the spirit of democracy.” Hardik Pa-tel had earlier announced to take out a ‘reverse Dandi Yatra’ from Dan-

QUOTE OF THE

DAYThis is a history-making election year for Bihar

The state of Bihar itself came into existence 80 years ago this year, by a provision of the Government of India Act, 1935. India became a Republic 65 years ago, in 1950, with a great Indian, born to Bihari par-ents, Rajendra Prasad, becoming our first President. Forty years ago, in 1975, a brave and noble son of Bihar, Jayaprakash Narayan, was taken into custody under the National Emergency of Prime Minister In-dira Gandhi. And 25 years ago this year, in 1990, Lal Krishna Advani’s rath yatra from Somnath to Ayo-dhya was stopped in Samastipur, Bihar, by the then chief minister Lalu Prasad.Eighty, 65, 40, 25 make landmark anniversary years. Such anniversaries are called ‘musical’ or ‘chiming’ anniversaries. Togeth-er they make 2015 an important year, an anniversa-ry-filled year, for the state and the people of Bihar. Do these disparate happenings resolve into a discernible ‘meaning’? Objectively speaking, no. Each develop-ment took place by a momentum of its own, driven by trends that had little to do with each other. Did the separation of Bihar and Orissa hold any particular meaning for Bihar? It did, for Orissa, in that it was no longer a junior partner yoked to an untenable jointure. But for Bihar? Did becoming a Bihari Bihar mean anything to its people? One could take a cynical stand and say the poor of Bihar were poor before and after 1935. That would not be incorrect but would be not a complete picture. The elections held across India under the 1935 Act provided for separate electorates for Muslims, a divisive step which was opposed by nationalists. But given the compelling circumstances the Congress went into election mode and rendered a good account of itself. It won in eight of the 11 prov-inces. Rajagopalachari became premier as chief min-isters were then called, in Madras, GB Pant in UP, BG Kher in Bombay, Khan Sahib in NWFP, NB Khare in CP, Gopinath Bordoloi in Assam and in the new prov-inces, Biswanath Das in Orissa and Srikrishna Sinha in Bihar. Sribabu would have made an unconvincing premier of undivided Bihar and Orissa but with the tall Bihari heading the first Congress government of Bihar, a certain felicity took place and a certain aspi-ration came to fruit. Proof of the mood? None. Identi-ty is felt, not weighed. Rajenbabu’s becoming India’s first President was a matter of national rejoicing, but for Bihar it was a moment of rapture. Gandhi’s lieu-tenant in the Champaran satyagraha of 1917 and a turbine of relief after the Bihar earthquake of 1934, the gentle but focused and tireless Rajenbabu was a dearly loved and respected figure in Bihar.

Actress Amy Jackson believes it is important for heroines to do action films. Amy will be seen doing action stunts in her upcoming film Singh Is Bliing and she is glad she got a chance to try the genre. “In this film, there is a lot of action which I have never seen before in Bollywood. So, I would like to set a trend. I love doing action scenes and it’s important in the film,” Amy said. Actresss Kriti Sanon was the first choice for the film Singh Is Bli-ing, but that did not bother Amy. “Kriti is a fantastic actor and it didn’t happen

for Kriti but thankful-ly it worked out for me. That’s just part and parcel of films,” she said. Amy couldn’t believe she got to do a film opposite Akshay Kumar. “I had to actually pinch myself when I got the call. I couldn’t believe it and even till the end, I was like... am I actually working with Akshay Ku-mar? “ she revealed. Add-ing, “I have been a mas-sive Akshay Kumar fan before and the first film that I ever watched was Namastey London... And I didn’t think that I would get the chance to star alongside him, especially so early in my career.”

The love charger is back, and he is more power-ful than ever before. He fights ghosts, tuskers gone amok, and in be-tween he also has time to battle social evils, in no particular order. The sec-ond installment of MSG--The Messenger is now running in theatres, and here’s a warning in public interest: You’ll be blown away by the supernatural powers of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insaan. That is, only if you’re a die-hard fan. Babaji, as the spiritual guru is called by his followers, makes his grand entry through rings of fire that lead him to two kids trapped in a burning house. After dangling for

a few seconds mid-air, he saves the bewildered chil-dren who probably didn’t know about the existence of CGI. During this scene, stones are crushed, rears are kicked and elephants are tossed in the air. Ba-baji leads to a change of heart in indigenous peo-ple when he lifts a badly animated elephant on his palm. Later, we see them dancing in Bollywood style, but Guruji stops them as he wants them to bathe first. So much in the name of civilisation! However, the battle is not even half won yet as there are 16 clans of indigenous people living in the same area and their head Ajgar is a tough nut. By this time, we have witnessed

two songs in Guruji’s own voice, and the 60-some-thing lady sitting beside me has danced twice. She doesn’t have any qualms in doing so, why? Because everybody else is dancing inside the hall. It was sim-ilar to the film’s first pub-lic screening in Gurgaon on Wednesday where more than 50,000 people danced on Guruji’s beats. Babaji travels in luxury cars with a golden heart embossed on them. He is keen sportsman and does everything in his capacity to showcase his healthy lifestyle. That’s needed though because the ser-mons on abstaining from alcohol, non-vegetarian food and narcotics follow every sequence.

Gold spurted to hit over one-week high at Rs 26,675 per ten grams by gaining Rs 75 at the bul-lion market today amid a firming global trend and increased buying by jewellers to meet seasonal de-mand. Silver extended its gains for the fourth day by adding Rs 100 to Rs 35,900 per kg on increased buying by industrial units and coin makers. Fed-eral Reserve’s status quo on interest rates, pickup in buying by jewellers and retailers, driven by on-going festive and wedding season, mainly result-ed in the rise of precious metals prices. Globally, gold gained 1.9 per cent to settle at $1,137.80 an ounce, after touching $1,141.50, the highest since September 2 in New York in yesterday’s trade. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity rose by Rs 75 each to trade at over one-week high of Rs 26,675 and Rs 26,525 per ten grams, respectively, a level last seen on September 9.

India’s limited overs captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be back in the thick of things after a three month break as Indian selectors will be picking the squad for the upcom-ing T20 International and ODI series against South Africa, starting October 2. There is a possibility that selectors may name squads for T20s and first three ODIs. While there are three T20 internation-als slated at the start of the series, the focus for both Dhoni and selectors will be on World T20 which

will be held in India in five months time. While it was nothing more than an extended practice ses-sion, Dhoni again wield-ed the willow in a charity game two days back at the Oval in London and scored 38 runs in a win-ning cause. India’s last limited overs series was against Zimbabwe where a second string side was selected to play under Ajinkya Rahane with as many as seven first team players being rested. Now with Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ro-hit Sharma, Ravichandran

Ashwin all fit and avail-able, some of the fringe players may have to make way for senior stars. The only injury concern right now is Shikhar Dhawan who is recuperating from fractured hand and will get his fitness test done. Opening batsman Murali Vijay, who has become a Test specialist, had a de-cent Zimbabwe tour and he would like to show his utility in shorter formats.

Going by current form, few observers would have expected anything spectacular from Somdev Devvarman ahead of his Davis Cup match against Jiri Vesley of Czech Re-public. The 30-year-old Indian has been battling injuries and indiffer-ent form for some time now. While Somdev has now plying his trade on the Challenger circuit— the second division so to speak of professional tennis, the 22-year old Vesely is seen as among the upcoming prospects in the game. Ranked 40th in the world, the Czech

It was clear by the middle of the second set itself that an upset was on the cards. Standing tall to serve, Somdev held back for a moment to gather his breath. After wiping the sweat from his fore-head, he ripped a serve. The 214 kilometer an hour thunderbolt land-ed immaculately on the corner of the service box before hurtling past the motionless Vesely. The ace helped him win his third straight game bringing the set back on

On Friday afternoon, however, he began to mix his serves, which kept Vesley on his toes. He fired aces — 20 in all — almost at will. This helped him stage comebacks at crucial junctures of the game.

Gujarat anti-terror-ist squad (ATS) sleuths nabbed Mohammed Salim Malayo, 57, from Kharghar in Navi Mum-bai on Thursday. Malayo, who is also known as Malai, was wanted for a daring robbery that had taken place in October 2010 at a jewellers shop in Kosamba town of Su-rat district. Malayo is a resident of Dongri area in Mumbai though he hails from Karachi in Pakistan. He had been coming to India with his mother, Rabiya, with smuggled goods since he was 14 years old. Inspector Gen-eral of Police, Gujarat ATS, JK Bhatt, said the last time Malayo came to India was 34 years back.

“He stayed in Mumbai and married one Salma. He later married for the second time to a Vadoda-ra woman named Almas,” said Bhatt. Sources in the Gujarat ATS said that while lodged in Bhuj jail in connection with a fake currency case, Malai came in contact with the Mama gang of Jhabua in Madhya Pradesh. “He was caught in Mumbai with two Paki-stani nationals — Khalik Turkey and Abdul Khalik Turkey,” said a source in the ATS. “They had hid-den the fake notes in their underwear and brought it to Mumbai from Mandvi in Kutch.” Giving addi-tional information, Bhatt disclosed that in Mumbai, Malayo and the Pak na-tionals planned a robbery in Gujarat.


Gujarat high court on Friday suggested the state government to form a committee to look into complaints by dalits and tribals that they were al-lotted agriculture land as part of land reforms, but the allotments have remained only on paper. A bench of acting Chief Justice Jayant Patel and Justice N V Anjaria also sought the government’s opinion within 15 days on whether such an exercise could fulfil the purpose of extending benefits of reforms to the suppressed class of people. The judges opined for such investigation committee because it would be dif-ficult for the court to ad-

Sacked Gujarat IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt attacked the recent Modi government decision to terminate his services in the Supreme Court as lacking in pro-portionality and instead alleged that he was being victimized for consistently maintaining and deposing before the SIT, the court amicus and the Nanavati Commission that the Modi government was complic-it in the riots, but the top court seemed unmoved by his plea. Bhatt was sacked recently for being on “unauthorized leave”. His lawyer Indira Jaising contended in the top court today that he had reported for duty in Ahmedabad in-stead of Jamnagar as asked to as he had to depose the same day before the SIT probing the 2002 riot cas-es. “Where is the sense

Asiatic lions sent to 53 zoos in 50 yearsSunvilla News | Ahmedabad

Gir sanctuary, the last abode of Asiatic lions, over the last 50 years of its existence, sent big cats to 53 zoos in US, UK, Swe-den, Malaysia, France, Singapore, and other countries. Three lionesses - Heidi, Ruby and Indi - in London trace their origin to Gir. The Zoological So-ciety of London has now sought two more pairs of lions from the Gujarat forest department. The proposal is awaiting state government’s approval. “Meanwhile, the state government has already cleared similar proposals to send lions to Prague zoo situated in Czech Re-public,” said J S Prajapa-ti, deputy conservator of forest, Sakkarbaug Zoo in Junagad. AP Singh, chief conservator of forests, wildlife circle, Junagadh, said, “We also maintain an Indian National Stud

of proportionality?” she demanded to know. She made out a case of con-sistent harassment and victimization of the IPS officer who was arrested in connection with an FIR filed by a fellow cop KD Pant, accusing Bhatt of coercing him to depose in Bhatt’s favour before the SIT about a meeting held on the night of Feb 27, 2002, in which the CM allegedly said that Hindus should be allowed to retaliate in a signal to the police machinery to not act against the riot-

ers. Bhatt claims to have been present at the meet-ing, a claim the state and its functionaries have de-nied. Pant has since filed another affidavit sup-porting the state govern-ment. Bhatt was arrested and remanded to police custody for 70 days, his mother’s house was ran-sacked twice, his security cover was withdrawn he was suspended and later terminated, his lawyer told the bench, compris-ing Chief Justice of In-dia HL Dattu and Justice Arun Misra.

60 statements during the investigation including that of witnesses and 10 policemen and officials of Bapunagar police sta-tion who were official-ly deployed in the area during the violence. “Not one of them, apart from Shwetang’s mother Pra-bha Patel has stated that the deceased was picked up by the cops from his house. Prabha Patel had earlier told the media that

her son was picked from the gate of the society. However in her statement before the cops she men-tioned that Shwetang was dragged out of her house by the cops from her house” said a senior CID crime official. CID crime sources said Shwetang had sustained two inju-ries on his head. “One at the back of his head and the other just above the temple. The injury at the back of the head is V Shaped, about 1.5 cm by .5 cm, which could not be caused by a lathi or a butt of a gun. There are injury marks from lathi on his back and hand but they he could not have died because of that injuries” added an official.

Monday. “The rainfall activity will increase on Saturday and Sunday. Due to the depression over Vidarbha region, the entire state will re-ceive very heavy rain-fall on these two days,” cautioned regional IMD director Jayanta Sarkar. The state reeling under an average rainfall deficit of over 20 per cent this mon-soon is expected to have a sigh of relief with this

spell of rainfall. Howev-er, with the IMD warning, scare of flood like situa-tion is also hovering over the state as was the pre-cedence in previous two instances of similar de-pression developments in July affecting Saurashtra and north Gujarat. The depression would also bring along strong winds over the state. Though no fishermen warning has been issued by the

IMD, state ports and the coast would be put on an alert on Saturday. Within two hours in the evening, from 4 till 6, Ahmedabad received an average rain-fall of 2.45 milimetre with the highest of 3.5 mm in the South zone. The total seasonal rain-fall in the city this mon-soon has recorded 503.65 mme which is over 250 mm less than the normal rainfall.

pital in Asarwa, which receives the highest num-ber of blood samples for tests. The same two Den2 and Den4 viruses have emerged as the dominant virus strains in Delhi too. A group of community medicine experts, who had also carried out tests on aedes aegypti mosqui-toes in Ahmedabad and Surat, have found that humidity levels of 83% to 85% were responsible for drastic increase in dengue

cases in the two cities. Ex-perts say that that the two days after the last bout of fever are crucial. A patient should be encouraged to take plenty of oral fluids. The main complication in dengue is blood leakage from capillaries and col-lection of blood outside the blood vessels. This, in turn, leads to intravas-cular dehydration. This is why giving fluids orally or by intravenous at the right time can save lives.

The car skidded sharply, hit the railing on the divider, dam-aged a streetlight and then got stuck in the broken rail-ing,” said a Navrangpura police official. RV Desai, inspector of Navrangpura police station, said that the car driver was identified as Harsh Patel, 23, a resident of Radhekrishna Society, Naranpura. “He is doing his LLB and also deals in used cars,” said Desai. “He said he had recently got the BMW from a per-son for sale. He was de-tained and later arrested.”

ment land was allotted to members of SCs and STs between 2007 and 2010. However, when inquired, government offices did not furnish the names of beneficiaries. Mevani ar-gued that in many cases, land was allotted to those people who were not el-igible for the benefit. He submitted that due to negligence and lethargic approach on the part of the authorities, the poor cannot reap the benefits of government schemes and each beneficiary suf-fers an approximate loss of Rs 1.75 lakh every year.
