Himachal Congress To Kickstart Campaign For Lok Sabha Elections Today
The Himachal Pradesh Congress will kick-start the campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on Wednesday, party leaders said on Tuesday.
All the state ministers will take five to six rounds in every constituency to propagate the work done by the Congress government in the past one year besides exposing the real face of the BJP to the people, they said.
Himachal Pradesh Congress chief Pratibha Singh said the names of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections should be announced early so that they could go in the field and ensure the party's victory in all four Lok Sabha seats in the state.
The Congress leader, who was addressing the media persons after a meeting with her party's office bearers, MLAs, the head of morchas and block heads, accused the BJP of misleading the general public on the issue of aid for the monsoon disaster and said the state has not received any special package from the Union government.
Referring to the Ram temple, Singh said that "about 98 per cent of the people in Himachal Pradesh are Hindus and worship all gods and goddess, including Lord Ram".
"We have faith in Lord Ram and will go to Ayodhya whenever we get a chance," she added.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu accused the Centre of discriminating with the state.
HC To Pass Order On Plea For Transfer Of Attack On ED Officials Case To CBI
The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday said it will pass an order on Wednesday on the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) petition in which the agency sought transfer from the state police to the CBI an investigation into a mob attack on its officials on January 5.
The ED has stated that three of its officers were injured and their belongings were "looted" in an attack on them at Sandeshkhali in North 24 Parganas district when they went to search the premises of Trinamool Congress leader Shajahan Sheikh.
The agency's counsel prayed for transfer of the investigation into the attack to the CBI, claiming that the central agency does not have faith in a probe being done by the West Bengal police.
Justice Jay Sengupta said he will pass an order on the petition by the ED on Wednesday.
The ED had gone to search the house of Shajahan Sheikh at Sandeshkhali, which is a few kilometres from the Bangladesh border, in connection with the alleged ration distribution scam.
The judge asked the state to ensure that CCTV cameras are installed immediately around the house of Shajahan Sheikh. A lookout notice was issued against him by the ED.
Counsel for Shajahan Sheikh stated that he does not want to make any submission before the court unless directed to by it.
