September 9, 2014

Gaziabad, Sep 9: In a bid to checkmate BJP, Aam Aadmi Party today said it is in contact with Congress, JD(U) and some "honest" BJP legislators to prevent the saffron party from forming government in Delhi through "ill means".kejriwal copy

At a press conference here, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal claimed that the BJP was in touch with 15 AAP MLAs and he will come out with "more sting tapes if the need arises".

Kejriwal had yesterday released a video of a "sting operation" in which BJP's Delhi unit Vice President Sher Singh Dagar allegedly offered bribe to AAP MLA from Sangam Vihar Dinesh Mohania to switch sides.

"I want to make it very clear that AAP is in touch with all the parties...with (independent MLA from Mundka) Rambeer Shokeen, (JDU MLA) Shoaib Iqbal, (expelled AAP MLA Vinod Kumar) Binny, the Congress and even some honest MLAs from the BJP.

"By saying this we make it clear that we are not aiming to form the government, but we want to stop the BJP from forming the government through dishonest means. We are in favour of elections," Kejriwal said.

The former Delhi Chief Minister also accused Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung of batting for the BJP and demanded that letter written by Lieutenant Governor to the President seeking his permission to invite the BJP for government formation should be withdrawn immediately.

"It is LG's constitutional responsibility to see that there is no assault on the constitution. We are also meeting the LG tomorrow and will hand him over the CD and apprise him of BJP's plan of horse trading for forming the government.

"The letter written by the LG to the president should be immediately withdrawn and revised," he said. He also announced to launch a campaign to "expose" the saffron party before the people.

"We will go to the people of Delhi with the video clip and tell how the BJP is trying to buy our MLAs and expose the way they were trying to form a government in Delhi by putting all ethics and morality on the backburner," said Kejriwal.

He said that the party is going to write to the President that the BJP should not be given a chance to form the government in Delhi.

He wondered why BJP was "afraid" of polls. "It is their government, their governor, they have 7 MPs then why they don't want to go for elections in the national capital," Kejriwal said.

The cyber cell found that around 13,500 other mobile phones are also running on the same International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) as that of the police personnel's phone, the superintendent of police said.

Lucknow, Jan 6: Undeterred by the large scale protests that claimed as many as 20 lives in the state, Uttar Pradesh government has started the process of implementing the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

According to sources in the government, the district magistrates have been directed to identify the migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, who have been living in their districts.

Sources said that the state home department has given oral instructions to the district magistrates. ''No written orders have been issued,'' said a senior official here preferring anonymity.

The official said that the district magistrates would be preparing a list containing names of those minorities, who had migrated from these countries following their persecution and had been living without obtaining the citizenship of India.

According to sources, the government expected that the migrants, who could be eligible for the Indian citizenship in accordance with the CAA, could be more in number in the districts, including Rampur, Ghaziabad, Shahjahanpur, Lucknow and some others.

''The list will be sent to the union home ministry,'' the official added.

Sources said that the state government will also inform the centre about the ''illegal Muslim migrants'' for their ultimate deportation to their countries of origin.

Different parts of UP had witnessed large scale violence last month during the protests against the CAA. At least 20 people, mostly youngsters, were killed allegedly in police firing and many others were injured. The state government had denied the charge. 

Alleged police excesses during and after the protests triggered a nationwide outrage with several rights organisations and activists slamming the BJP government and demanding a high-level probe into the allegations.
