Notice To Rajasthan Government Hospital Over Rats Chewing Patients' Feet

The NHRC on Tuesday issued a notice to the Rajasthan government over rats allegedly found gnawing the feet of patients in a government-run hospital in Jodhpur.

Reportedly, the number of rats has increased so much that in ward C of its psychiatry department, they have bitten four patients, the National Human Rights Commission said in a statement.

The NHRC has taken "suo motu cognisance of a media report that rats are gnawing on the feet of patients in government-run Mathura Das Mathur Hospital (MDMH) in Jodhpur", it said.

The commission has observed that the content of the media report, if true, indicates the violation of the right to health and medical care of the patients which is a matter of concern for it.

Accordingly, it has issued notice to the chief secretary, the government of Rajasthan, seeking a detailed report in four weeks, including steps being taken or proposed to be taken to address the grievance of the patients at the MDMH, Jodhpur, the statement said.

A notice also be issued to the superintendent of the hospital to submit a report with regard to the "failure of the public servant", who has allowed this kind of "remiss to happen", within four weeks, the rights panel said.

According to the media report on July 3, the hospital administration has given a contract to an agency for Rs 27,000 per month to control pests and rats, but the "rat menace continues unabated", it added. Following repeated complaints of rats gnawing feet of patients in the psychiatry department of the hospital, the administration on Monday set up an inquiry committee to look into the matter.

The family members of at least four mentally-ill patients complained about similar incidents in the past week, prompting the hospital administration to intervene.

"Praful Patel Was Fortunate Became MP Unopposed In Polls": Sharad Pawar

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Monday targeted Praful Patel, who has been sacked from the party for siding with Ajit Pawar, saying he was fortunate unlike others as he used to get elected to Parliament without facing any elections just by filling the form.

After Ajit Pawar took oath as deputy chief minister on Sunday, the Pawar senior had singled out Patel and MP Sunil Tatkare for "abandoning" the guidelines of the party president and taking a "wrong path".

On Monday, Sharad Pawar sacked Patel, the working president of NCP, and general secretary Tatkare for engaging in "anti-party activities".

Addressing a press conference here before announcing the decision to sack Patel and Tatkare, Pawar said, "All our MLAs and MPs (pointing at some of them flanking him) have done a lot of hard work to get elected. They go among people and work but Praful (Patel) is a fortunate colleague who by just filling out the form becomes an MP.

"These people (MLAs) do not have to go and cast their votes to elect him (Patel). He gets elected unopposed and no election-related expense is incurred".

Patel is "fortunate" as he gets the opportunity to become a member of Parliament easily, Pawar added.

When asked if Patel has expressed his wish to meet him but stuck to his stand, Pawar said Patel has the right to take any stand. "If he wants to offer some guidance, we will just listen and leave it," he added.

Pawar also asserted that he is the last authority in NCP and had fixed some responsibilities for Patel.

"If he (Patel) does something contrary to those responsibilities by breaking the line of the party, he has no right to remain in that position," he added.

Asked whether he was pained to see that leaders groomed by him are deserting him, Pawar replied in the negative.

"Not at all. My experience tells me that whenever such a situation emerges, the final decision is taken by people and common voters in elections. I have faith in them," he said.

Talking about his state-wide tour, which he launched from Karad city in western Maharashtra, the NCP patriarch said he wanted to reassure young cadres of NCP to not feel upset after the current happenings in the party.

"During my journey from Pune to Satara, I saw a large number of party workers, especially young people, waiting for me and extending support," he said.

Queried on Ajit Pawar's statement that if "NCP can go with Shiv Sena, it can also go with BJP", Pawar said such developments are not unprecedented in politics.

"After the Emergency, the only person in the country who supported the Emergency was Balasaheb Thackeray. In subsequent elections, Shiv Sena didn't field any candidate against the Congress," Pawar said.

"The leaders who took oath yesterday were also part of the erstwhile MVA government. But that time (when they took oath in 2019), they didn't look worried, so there is no need to assign any importance to what they are saying," he added.

Asked if the investigation by the Enforcement Directorate prompted some NCP leaders to join the BJP-Shiv Sena government, Pawar said he didn't have any information regarding this.

"I only heard what Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said recently said about corruption in NCP. Modi spoke about the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank (scam) and purported irrigation scam while talking about NCP.

"But he didn't stop our main leaders from taking the oath. It shows that the allegations levelled by him were devoid of facts. In a nutshell, the leadership of the country has declared them (NCP leaders) innocent," Pawar quipped.

He recalled how MLAs had left him in the 1980s but he rebuild the organisation with the support of people.

Queried about NCP MP Amol Kolhe's tweet, the NCP chief said Ajit Pawar is also not someone who is an outsider.

A day earlier, Kolhe was seen with Ajit Pawar at Raj Bhavan in Mumbai but on Monday he declared his allegiance to Sharad Pawar.

"My daughter (Supriya Sule) had also gone there thrice (at the meeting convened earlier on Sunday by Ajit Pawar). There is nothing wrong," Pawar added.

He said the decision on disqualification of nine MLAs who have joined the Shiv Sena-BJP government will be taken by NCP state president Jayant Patil.

"Patil's decision will be supported," he added.

Pawar said several MLAs (of his party) had called him in view of the Sunday's development.

"They will declare their stand at the right moment," he added.

Maharashtra assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar has held a meeting with deputy chief ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar at Fadnavis' bungalow in Mumbai.

When asked about this meeting, Pawar said the Speaker's post is an institution that is bound by rules, regulations, and protocol.

"The person chairing it should ensure the dignity of that institution," he added.

Don't Give Space To "Extremist Khalistani Ideology" Says S Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday said India has asked its partner countries such as Canada, the UK and the US not to give space to "extremist Khalistani ideology" as it is "not good" for relations.

When asked about reports of Khalistani posters in Canada naming Indian diplomats, the minister said the issue will be raised with the government of that country.

The "radical, extremist Khalistani ideology" is not good for India or its partner countries such as the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, he told reporters on the sidelines of a BJP outreach campaign.

"We have already requested our partner countries like Canada, the US, the UK and Australia where sometimes Khalistani activities happen, not to give space to Khalistanis. Because their (Khalistanis) radical, extremist thinking is neither good for us nor for them nor our relations," the minister said.

"We will raise the issue of posters with those government. I think it would have already been done by now as it happened two to three days earlier," S Jaishankar said.

Last month, India slammed Canada after visuals surfaced on social media of a tableau in Brampton that reportedly celebrated the assassination of former prime minister Indira Gandhi.

Canada's response to the Khalistani issue appeared to be constrained by its "vote bank compulsions" and India will have to respond if the activities impinge on its national security and integrity, Mr Jaishankar had said on the issue.

The Khalistani issue has impacted ties between the two countries in many ways in the last few years, he had said.

India has been asking Canada against giving space to pro-Khalistani separatists and extremists elements, S Jaishankar had said.

"शरद पवर हमर नत" : अजत पवर क शपथ क दरन रजभवन म मजद रह परफलल पटल

एनसीपी के वरिष्ठ नेता अजित पवार ( Ajit Pawar) ने शिंदे सरकार में शामिल होकर महाराष्ट्र की राजनीति में एक बड़ा भूचाल ला दिया. इसके बाद अब सवाल खड़ा हो गया कि "असली एनसीपी" कौन है? पार्टी के कार्यकारी अध्यक्ष प्रफुल्ल पटेल ने कहा, ''हम एक पार्टी हैं और शरद पवार हमारे नेता हैं." प्रफुल्ल पटेल एनसीपी के उन नेताओं में शामिल हैं, जिन्होंने अजित पवार के साथ मिलकर शरद पवार से  बगावत की है. रविवार को महाराष्ट्र राजभवन में अजित पवार ने आठ अन्य एनसीपी विधायकों के साथ मंत्री पद की शपथ ली है. इस दौरान प्रफुल्ल पटेल भी राजभवन में मौजूद थे. 

एनडीटीवी से बात करते हुए पटेल ने कहा, "कोई भी ना तो पार्टी से अलग हुआ है, और ना ही किसी ने पार्टी बदली है. कभी-कभी पार्टी के भीतर मतभेद होते हैं और फिर इन्हें सुलझा लिया जाता है. आप कुछ और दिन इंतजार करें और आप देखेंगे कि मेरे कहने का क्या मतलब है." रविवार को शपथ लेने वालों में एनसीपी नेताओं में छगन भुजबल, दिलीप वलसे पाटिल, हसन मुश्रीफ, धनंजय मुंडे, अदिति तटकरे, धर्मराव अत्राम, अनिल पाटिल और संजय बनसोडे शामिल हैं.

शपथ समारोह के बाद, उपमुख्यमंत्री अजित पवार ने जोर देकर कहा कि उन्हें "पूरी एनसीपी" का समर्थन प्राप्त है, लेकिन इसके तुरंत बाद उनके चाचा शरद पवार ने इसे खारिज कर दिया. जब शरद पवार से पत्रकारों ने पूछा कि अब पार्टी का चेहरा कौन होगा, तो उन्होंने यह जवाब दिया "शरद पवार". प्रफुल्ल पटेल ने यह भी कहा कि यह निर्णय "पार्टी विधायकों और पार्टी के नेताओं के साथ व्यापक परामर्श के बाद" लिया गया है.

इससे पहले शरद पवार ने कहा कि वह "गलत रास्ता" अपनाने के लिए प्रफुल्ल पटेल और सुनील तटकरे को छोड़कर किसी से भी नाराज नहीं हैं. उन्होंने कहा, "मैं प्रफुल्ल पटेल और तटकरे को छोड़कर किसी से नाराज नहीं हूं. मैंने उन्हें महासचिव नियुक्त किया था, लेकिन उन्होंने पार्टी अध्यक्ष के दिशानिर्देशों दरकिनार कर और गलत रास्ता अपना लिया. उन्हें उस पद पर बने रहने का कोई अधिकार नहीं है."

उनकी पार्टी इस बात पर जोर दे रही है कि जिन विधायकों के बारे में अजित पवार दावा कर रहे हैं कि वे उनका समर्थन कर रहे हैं, वे वास्तव में अभी भी शरद पवार के साथ हैं. शरद पवार के करीबी सहयोगी माने जाने वाले पटेल को पिछले महीने पार्टी के 24वें स्थापना दिवस पर सुप्रिया सुले के साथ एनसीपी का कार्यकारी अध्यक्ष बनाया गया था. तटकरे को एनसीपी का राष्ट्रीय महासचिव नियुक्त किया गया था, जिनकी बेटी अदिति ने अजित पवार के साथ मंत्री पद की शपथ ली है. बता दें, चार साल के अंदर यह तीसरी बार है कि अजित पवार तीन मुख्यमंत्रियों-देवेंद्र फड़णवीस, उद्धव ठाकरे और एकनाथ शिंदे के अंडर में डिप्टी सीएम बने हैं.

"During UPA Regime Terrorists Would Cross Over...": Amit Shah's Swipe

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said during the previous UPA government at the Centre, Pakistan-based terrorists would often cross over to Indian territory and launch attacks, while asserting that the people of the country now feel safe under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Mr Shah said this while addressing a function in Lucknow to mark the 74th birth anniversary of late Kurmi (a backward caste) leader Sonelal Patel, the father of Union minister Anupriya Patel, which was celebrated as "Jan Swabhiman Divas".

Launching a scathing attack on the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, Mr Shah said, "There was the UPA government, the government of Sonia-Manmohan, when almost every day, terrorists would cross over to India from Pakistan, explode bombs, kill our jawans and go back." "After Modiji became the prime minister, Pakistan's audacity was again on display when there were terror attacks in Uri and Pulwama. However, this time, they had forgotten that the rule is not of 'Maunibaba' Manmohan Singh, (but) of Narendra Modi and that of the NDA," he said.

Mr Shah said within 10 days of the attacks, the Army was issued orders and surgical strikes and airstrikes were conducted to kill the terrorists involved.

"Today, the entire country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is feeling safe. Also, the pride of the country has gone up in the world under the leadership of Modiji," Shah said.
