Rajasthan: Govt medicos to go on strike on Wednesday in solidarity with private doctors

[ad_1]
Jaipur: Medical services in Rajasthan are likely to be seriously affected on Wednesday with government doctors and faculty members at medical colleges announcing a one-day mass leave in solidarity with private doctors agitating against the Right to Heath Bill.
Emergency services, however, will be exempted.
Private hospitals and nursing homes in Rajasthan have been shut for several days due to a strike by private doctors, leading to a rush of patients in government hospitals.
Private doctors have been striking to demand the withdrawal of the bill, which was passed in the assembly last week.
On Tuesday, the All Rajasthan In-Service Doctors’ Association announced the one-day strike in support of the agitating private doctors.
Association general secretary Dr Shankar Bamnia said more than 15,000 in-service (government) doctors will go on a one-day mass leave in support of the private doctors’ movement against the Right to Health Bill. Resident doctors and medical college faculties will also join the strike.
“All doctors will be on a one-day mass leave in support of the (private doctors’) movement,” Bamnia said.
Bamnia, however, said emergency services will not be affected.

The protesting doctors have claimed that the bill will increase bureaucratic interference in their functioning.
According to the bill, every resident of the state will have the right to emergency treatment and care “without prepayment” at any “public health institution, health care establishment and designated health care centres”.
Dr Vijay Kapoor, secretary of the Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes Society, said their agitation entered the 11th day on Tuesday.
Claiming that Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has not yet called them for talks, Kapoor said he should directly speak with the agitating doctors instead of spending lakhs of rupees on advertisements.
Chief Secretary Usha Sharma and senior state officials held a meeting with a delegation of the agitating private hospital operators on Sunday and assured them to hold a discussion on their suggestions regarding the bill.
However, the doctors were adamant and said any discussion would be possible only after the bill was withdrawn.
The bill was passed following the recommendations by a select committee.
Before the bill was amended, the draft mentioned “any health care provider, establishment or facility, including private provider, establishment or facility, public health institution, health care establishment and designated health care centres, qualified”.
According to the amended bill that was passed, “designated health care centres” mean health care centres as prescribed in the rules, which are yet to be framed.
The private doctors said their one-point demand is the bill’s withdrawal and any discussion on the points in it will be held only after the government fulfills the demand.
Health Minister Parsadi Lal has already clarified that the bill will not be withdrawn because all the suggestions from doctors have already been incorporated and hence the demand was not justified.

Gandhi family is Cong pivot, keeps party united: Rajasthan CM Gehlot

[ad_1]
Jodhpur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday called the Gandhi family the pivot of the Congress and said it held the party together.
Addressing a meeting of Congress workers, he accused the BJP of deploying a paid “army of trolls” on social media to malign the image of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
“This army has been after Rahul Gandhi for the past eight or nine years. Whatnot has been said about him on social media by their trolls’ army to malign his image,” the Congress leader said, alleging that the BJP has paid thousands of people for this.
He said there is a reason why the Gandhi family is considered the “pivot” of the party. “If this family is there, the Congress will remain united,” he said.”They have the capability of taking everyone along – all castes, all religions and people speaking every language.”
Gehlot was accompanied by Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Govind Singh Dotasra and the AICC in-charge for Rajasthan Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa in the Jodhpur trip.
The party is protesting Gandhi’s disqualification from the Lok Sabha following his conviction by a Gujarat court over a remark on the Modi surname.
The CM repeated his allegation that Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat was involved in the Sanjeevani Credit Cooperative Society scam that defrauded a large number of investors.
The minister has earlier denied the allegations and reported the “defamation attempt” to the police in Delhi.

Gehlot charged that democracy is at risk under the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Centre.
“I see in them arrogance and autocracy. The way they conspired to target Rahul Gandhi shows that they were scared of his shining image globally after the Bharat Jodo Yatra,” he claimed.
Gehlot accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of evading questions in Parliament on the Adani Group, and said this deepened “suspicion” about his relationship with the tycoon.

Salman Khan threat email: Mumbai cops apprehend man from Rajasthan

[ad_1]
Mumbai: The Mumbai police have apprehended a man from Rajasthan in connection with an email threatening actor Salman Khan that was received at the latter’s office here recently, an official said on Sunday.
The accused was nabbed by a team of Bandra police station and is being brought to Mumbai, an official said. The accused Dhakad Ram Bishnoi (21) is a resident of Siyagon ki Dhani in Rohicha Kalan village under the Luni police station in Jodhpur. He was on bail in a case of Arms Act, police said.
Jodhpur’s DCP (West) Gaurav Yadav said a team from Mumbai’s Bandra police station arrived here to arrest Bishnoi on Sunday. “They asked us to assist them in detaining Bishnoi. We provided them support and handed Bishnoi over to the Mumbai Police,” said Yadav.
The complaint about the threat e-mail was recently lodged at the Bandra police station by one Prashant Gunjalkar, who according to police, frequently visits the Bandra-based residence of Salman Khan and runs an artist management company.
When Gunjalkar was present in Khan’s office in Galaxy Apartment recently, he noticed an email had been received from the ID “Rohit Garg”. The sender of the e-mail, written in Hindi, said: “Goldy Bhai (gangster Goldy Brar) wanted to talk to Salman Khan face-to-face to close the matter”, adding, “Agli baar, jhatka dekhne ko milega (You’ll see something shocking)”, the police had said.
“After a detailed technical investigation into the case, police got information about the accused person’s whereabouts, following which a team was sent to Rajasthan and the man was apprehended,” the official said.
He is being interrogated by a police team about the threat to the actor, he said.
After the threat mail was received, the Mumbai police had registered a first information report (FIR) against gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar. The FIR was registered under sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 506-II (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the police said.

Yadav said Bishnoi had been arrested in September last year by the Sardarpura police for possessing illegal weapon and was out on bail.
However, no link between him and Lawrence Bishnoi or any other local gang has come to the notice during investigation so far, he added.
Jodhpur police officials said a case had also been registered against Bishnoi at Mansa’s Sadar police in Punjab on March 24 for sending a similar threatening mail to the father of slain Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.
A team of Punjab Police also reached Jodhpur to arrest Bishnoi on Sunday, he said.
However, the Punjab Police will have to wait to claim Bishnoi’s custody until Mumbai police completes its investigation, he added.

‘What bigger message than OBC being made Rajasthan CM thrice’: Gehlot slams BJP

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Sunday slammed the BJP over its charge that Rahul Gandhi insulted OBCs with his remark in 2019, and said his party has done a lot for backward classes which include making an OBC leader like him CM thrice.
Gandhi was on Thursday sentenced to two years in jail by a Surat court in a 2019 criminal defamation case over his “why all thieves have Modi surname” remark.
Several BJP leaders, including party chief J P Nadda, have accused Gandhi of insulting Other Backward Classes (OBCs) through his remark.
Addressing a gathering at the daylong “Sankalp Satyagraha” of the Congress at the Rajghat, Gehlot said Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted an “experiment” in Gujarat polls in 2017 by saying that a Congress leader abused him about his caste.
And in a repeat of that, the BJP is claiming again before elections that Rahul Gandhi insulted OBCs, Gehlot said
“In 2017, when the BJP was losing the Gujarat elections, Modi ji played the OBC card against the Congress there. The BJP today again wants to run a campaign to mislead the OBCs,” he alleged.
Are fugitives like Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi OBCs, he asked.
“You are protecting fugitives such as Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi, and then saying Rahul Gandhi insulted OBCs,” he said.

Gehlot said can anyone forget what the Congress has done for OBCs and SCs and STs.
“I have been made CM for the third time by Sonia ji, Rahul ji. I am an OBC. There is only one member of OBC Mali community (in the assembly) and that is me,” he said.
Gehlot said what “bigger message” could be for the OBCs there than him being made chief minister again and again.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is also comes from the OBC community, he pointed out.
Elections are coming and that is why they are raising this bogey of OBC insult, he alleged. “It is baseless.”
He said the sacrifices of the Gandhi family are before everyone and Rahul Gandhi is constantly raising the issue of unemployment and high prices.
“They could not answer on allegations raised in Parliament by Rahul Gandhi. I have never seen before that allegations are raised but instead of answering, the prime minister has taken a vow of silence,” Gehlot said.
The BJP raised allegations against Gandhi for his remarks abroad, when he said what he had been saying in the country, he said.
It is the PM who should answer and apologise, Gehlot said.
“Rahul Gandhi has emerged as the voice of the country. We will keep fighting to ensure that democracy is kept alive in the country,” he said.

Rajasthan: NIA seals two PFI offices, freezes 10 bank accounts

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday said it has sealed two offices of the banned organisation Popular Front of India (PFI) in Rajasthan, and also froze 10 of its bank accounts.
An official said that NIA is investigating the criminal conspiracy hatched by PFI leaders and cadres in Rajasthan to drive a wedge between different communities in the country through radicalisation.
“The banned organisation has also been conducting training of gullible Muslim youth in handling of weapons. They have been raising funds to carry out acts of terror and violence with the ultimate objective of establishing Islamic rule in India by 2047,” the official said.
Earlier, on March 13, the NIA had filed chargesheet against Mohammad Ashif a.k.a. Asif of Kota, and Sadiq Sarraf of Baran in this case.
The official said that during the investigation into the case registered in September 2022, it was learnt that the offices of the PFI at Jaipur and Kota were being used for organising terror training camps.
These trainees, mostly young Muslim youth, were being radicalised and trained in the use of dangerous weapons, such as knives and swords, to attack, assault, and murder by targeting vulnerable points of the body, including the head, neck and chest.
“Therefore, PFI offices at Jaipur and Kota have been attached under the provisions of UA (P) Act as the ‘proceeds of terrorism’. The properties attached by NIA today include the PFI office located at House No. 256, near Punjab National Bank, Moti Dungari Road, District – Jaipur, Rajasthan, and the PFI office, near Arakeen Badi Masjid, Madrasa Furkania, Lalji Ghati Ladpura Kota, Rajasthan,” the official, providing details, said.

Rajasthan Cong stages demonstration to show solidarity with Rahul

[ad_1]
Jaipur: Rajasthan Congress workers led by state unit president Govind Singh Dotasara held a protest outside the party’s headquarters here on Thursday in solidarity with party leader Rahul Gandhi.
A court in Surat sentenced Gandhi on Thursday to two years in jail in a 2019 criminal defamation case filed against him over his “Modi surname” remark.
Addressing the Congress workers, Dotasara said Gandhi fearlessly puts forth his views while fighting the battle of truth. He said Gandhi was firm on his views and instead of apologising like Savarkar, he accepted the action being taken against him.
“Gandhi is fighting the battle of truth. The verdict of the court will be challenged under the judicial process,” he said.

World-class rail stations to be set up in Rajasthan: Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw

[ad_1]
Jaipur: Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday said world-class stations will be set up in Rajasthan which has seen a multifold increase in grants for the rail sector.
Addressing a ‘Brahmin Mahapanchayat’ called by Vipra Sena, he said, “The grant given to Rajasthan 10 years ago was Rs 600 crore, but this time the state has got a grant of Rs 9,532 crore.”
Vaishnaw said world-class railway stations will be built in Abu Road, Ajmer, Alwar, Asalpur, Jobner, Balotra, Bandikui, Chittorgarh and Dausa, among other places.
“We have to give a new future to Rajasthan,” he said.
In the programme, the Vipra Sena raised multiple demands such as increasing the 10 per cent reservation for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) to 14 per cent, making misbehaviour and assault on priests a non-bailable offence and removing encroachments from temple lands.
The BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Ghanshyam Tiwari said a board for the Hindu religion should be made on the lines of the Waqf board.
Former BJP state president Arun Chaturvedi said that the country will strengthen when Brahmin is empowered. He also called upon the people of the community to help the needy people belonging to the Brahmin community.
Congress leader Pushpendra Bhardwaj said the Congress and BJP each should give tickets to 30 Brahmin leaders in the upcoming assembly elections.
