[New Delhi] At Last Center Accepts 5/20 Rule ‘Anarchic Now Decides to Change.It May Clear The Way For New Airlines To Fly Abroad .Present rule entails that an airline can fly to international destinations only if it has served within the country for five years and has a 20-aircraft fleet.
Terming the 5/20 rule which allows Indian carriers to fly abroad as “anarchic”, Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju today said he was trying to change it so that new airlines can connect with foreign destinations.
Raju said in Lok Sabha the government wants more Indian airlines to fly to foreign destinations but as long as the 5/20 rule is not changed, they cannot fly abroad.
Hitting At Previous Govt Raju Said It is a fact that 5/20 rule came from a particular Cabinet at a particular point of time. To my mind, it is an anarchic type of thing. It prevents the Indian registered airlines to function.
But as long as that rule is there, we have to follow it.”I am trying to change the rule and if I have my way, it will happen,” he said during Question Hour.
Raju’s reply came when Congress member Shashi Tharoor said the Kerala government had tried to set up a state airline called ‘Air Kerala’ to cater to the vast amount of traffic of Keralites going to Gulf countries since private carriers were exploitative, but could not do so due to the 5/20 rule.
“It is our duty to see that people are not exploited. In fact, airfares before 1994 were controlled by the Government.
The Minister said,.Airlines before that had to apply and take government approval. In 1994, the Act was repealed by Parliament,”
BJP member R K Singh too joined Tharoor saying private airlines often exploit passengers taking emergency situation which government must check.
“Whenever there is an emergency situation, the airlines hike the fare and exploit people. This is nothing but exploitation and if the government keeps watching this happening then what is the use of having a government,”
The Minister said government has analysed the entire issue and found that the high side of the fares in the total ticketing is about less than two per cent.
“So, we realise that the prices of tickets have come down in most routes, particularly where the competition is more.
He said capacities and growth in the country have been going up. If the growth is stifled, the problem will not be resolved.
Minister Said “With regard to emergencies like Chennai floods, Srinagar floods or the Jat agitation and all that, we do see these things coming up and we give advisories to the airlines and some of the airlines do respond,”

Parliamentarians Strongly Demand Prestigious “Kohinoor”Back
[New Delhi]Parliamentarians strongly Demand Prestigious+Precious Kohinoor Back
BJD member in Lok Sabha today, got instant support from several members including those from the Akali Dal.
On this issue
Bhartruhari Mahtab,in Zero Hour, dismissed the talk that the diamond was given as a gift to the British and insisted that it was taken by them as forcibly from Duleep Singh, son of noted Sikh ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Mahtab said the situation in which the diamond went to the British after the 1849 Ango-Sikh war was vividly described in a letter written by the British political agent stationed in Lahore to Governor General Lord Dalhousie.
Noting that Kohinoor was the prestige of the nation, he said the way it had gone to the Queen of England was an “act of cheating” and a “surrender under duress”.
He said the British had committed untold plunder during the colonial rule.
He said the Maharaja wanted to donate the diamond to the Puri temple like he had made gifts to the Golden Temple and Kashi Vishwanath temple.
Making a strong plea, he said the calligraphic material detailing the situation under which the diamond was taken away should be retrieved by the government from archieves.
He claimed that Kohinoor was the ‘syamantak mani’ associated with Lord Krishna.
Mahtab said India should impress upon the U K to give the diamond back notwithstanding their Prime Minister’s statement that the British Museums and treasury would be empty if it returned all its treasures.
In an obvious reference to Vijay Mallya, he recalled that the sword of Tipu Sultan was brought back to the country from the “tainted money of a liquor baron whose passport has recently been revoked.”
Prem Singh Chandumajra (SAD) attacked the Culture Ministry for its stand in the Supreme Court and wanted steps to bring it back. He wanted the House to pass a unanimous resolution in this regard.
Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM) remarked that Kohinoor came from the Golconda mines which fall in his constituency.
Meenakshi Lekhi (BJP) said the government has not taken any stand on the issue of return of Kohinoor and whatever has appeared in the media is wrong.

[नई दिल्ली]दिल्ली के तख्त को सात शतकों के पश्चात एक और तुगलक प्राप्त हुआ है
सात शतकों के पश्चात दिल्ली के तख्त को एक और तुगलक का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ है |बेशक तुगलक के धर्म में पुनर्जन्म को मान्यता नहीं है लेकिन केजरीवाल की तुगलकी फरमानों से जूना खान उर्फ़ तुगलक के जनून के दर्शन
आये दिन हो रहे हैं ।उद्धारण के लिए
[१]ओड इवन के चक्कर में केजरीवाल सरकार ने करोड़ों रुपये फूंक डाले ।
[२]कारें कम करने के बहाने महंगी बसें खरीद डाली|
[३]शांति प्रिय जनता का चालान करके हलकान किया।
[4]दिल्ली के पैसे को जम्मू कश्मीर और पंजाब में बहाया
[५]सन्सद में बवाल कराया।
[६] अपने विधायकों में रेवड़ियां बांटी
जनता ने भी पलटवार में गाड़ियां बढ़ा दी पुरानी कारों से सडकों पर कंजेशन कम होने के बजाय बढ़ने लगा है ।
अब आप पूछोगे के ये कैसे तुगलकी हुआ? तो भापा जी सुलतान ने बेफाल्तू के सिक्के चलवाए जो तत्कालीन जनता को रास नहीं आये ,उन्होंने घर में ही सिक्के ढालने शुरू कर दिए।
सुलतान ने अपने साम्राज्य के विस्तार के लिए पीतल और ताम्बे के सांकेतिक+प्रतीकात्मक दोकानी नामक सिक्कों का प्रचलन करवाया और धनवानों का राजकुमार कहलाया ।सिक्का ढालने पर राज्य का नियंत्रण नहीं था जिसके परिणाम स्वरुप अनेक जाली टकसाल बन गये जिससे अर्थव्यवसथा ठप्प हो गई सुलतान को इसकी प्रेरणा चीन+ईरान से मिली। वहाँ के शासकों ने इन योजनाओं को सफलतापूर्वक चलाया था
सात सो सालों के पश्चात अबऐसे ही तुगलकी फरमान के कारण कारें कम होने के बजाय बढ़ने लग गई है| जनता के सहयोग के बजाय विकसित देशों की तर्ज पर पेनल्टी का राग अलापा गया |ओड इवन पर भाषण ज्यादा हुए+विज्ञापन ज्यादा हुए लेकिन नियंत्रण नहीं रखा जा सका |
फलस्वरूप पोलुशन कम होने के स्थान पर बढ़ रहा है |
इतिहास की मान्यतानुसार मुहम्मद तुग़लक़ सर्वाधिक शिक्षित+विद्वान +योग्य व्यक्ति था। अपनी सनक भरी योजनाओं, क्रूर-कृत्यों एवं दूसरे के सुख-दुख के प्रति उपेक्षा का भाव रखने के कारण इसे ‘स्वप्नशील’,’पागल’+’रक्त-पिपासु’ कहा गया है। यहां तक इतिहासकारों ने सुल्तान को अधर्मी घोषित किया है।यधपि अभी केजरीवाल को उस ऊंचाई तक नहीं ले जाया जा सकता लेकिन
केजरीवाल ने दूसरों को गालियां देने+अपमानित करने+औार अपने दोषियों को लाभान्वित करने की दिशा में कदम बढ़ा दिया है|कुछ धर्मों को आदर और विशेष धर्म का अनादार करना शुरू कर दिया है |
तुगलक ने विदेशी आक्रमणकारियों से बचने के लिए अपनी राजधानी बदल डाली जबकि आधुनिक तुगलक अपने जनून में पंजाब भागने की जुगत लढा रहे हैं ।
राजधानी को दिल्ली से देवगिरि स्थानान्तरित किया और नाम दौलताबाद कर दिया। मुहम्मद तुग़लक़ की यह योजना भी पूर्णतः असफल रही और उसने 1335 ई. में दौलताबाद से लोगों को दिल्ली वापस आने की अनुमति दे दी।अब केजरीवाल अपनी विस्तारवादी नीति के चलते कांग्रेस+अकालियों के पजाब की तरफ कदम बढ़ा चुके हैं|
सिंहासन पर बैठने के बाद सुलतान ने नजदीकी अमीरों एवं सरदारों को विभिन्न उपाधियाँ एवं पद प्रदान किया।केजरीवाल ने अपने २० से अधिक विधायकों में रेवड़ियां बांटी +अपने अवैतनिक रहे सहयोगियों को महंगे उच्च पदों पर आसीन किया|विधायकों के वेतन में बेतहाशा वृद्धि की|
सुलतान ने अनेकों नजदीकियों के विद्रोहों का सामना किया| केजरीवाल भी योगेन्द्र यादव+प्रशांत भूषण+पंजाब के ७५%सांसदों के विद्रोह को झेल चुके हैं|सुलतान काव्य और संगीन प्रेमी था केजरीवाल भी आजकल सिनेमा स्क्रीन के सामने देखे जाते हैं

Sukhbir Singh Badal Accuses AAP of “Befooling” People of Punjab
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Badal today accused AAP of “befooling” people of Punjab on SYL canal issue in order to secure votes in the wake of 2017 assembly polls.
Sukhbir said in a statement .”Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led Delhi government is indulging in deceitful tactics by stating it wanted water for Delhi but leaving it to Punjab and Haryana to fight over the SYL canal,”
He said filing of affidavits in the Supreme Court was nothing but a “political ploy to befool” Punjabis and secure their votes in the 2017 assembly elections.
The Delhi government has in its revised affidavit filed in the Supreme Court said it is only concerned about continuing to get its share of river waters as per the 1976 notification.
“This notification led to the construction of the SYL canal. So effectively the Delhi government wants water to flow through this canal even though it has present water supply arrangement with Haryana”,
Asking Kejriwal to end this “double game”, Badal said “you cannot keep playing cat and mouse forever. Punjabis just want you to answer a simple question. Are you in favour of construction of the SYL canal or not? This answer will determine whether you are in favour of the Punjabi farmer or against him”,
Sukbir said Kejriwal first claimed that he was against construction of the SYL canal when on a visit to Sultanpur Lodhi in Punjab.
Kejriwal, however, on reaching Delhi took a U turn and said everyone should get water, meaning his native State Haryana should get water from the SYL canal,
The SAD president said if the AAP government was really sincere towards Punjabi farmers it should pass a resolution in its assembly supporting the stand taken by Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal on the SYL canal.
