Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan denied PM Modi’s appointment for fourth time

New Delhi | Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has been denied permission to meet PM Narendra Modi by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) for the fourth consecutive time.

CM Vijayan along with the party delegation wanted to meet PM Modi to discuss the disparities in the ration allocation to the state.

Vijayan had asked for an appointment to meet Prime Minister Modi to discuss the same issue. The Chief Minister’s Office had earlier wished to meet the Prime Minister to appraise about budget allocation to the state on March 20, 2017. On November 24, 2016, a week after demonetisation came into effect, Vijayana requested for an appointment with Prime Minister Modi to discuss the same.

Meanwhile, responding to the request, PMO said that the Chief Minister can meet Food and Public Distribution Minister, Ram Vilas Paswan if needed.

TestHostEntry

Mumbai | A prosecution witness in the Sohrabuddin Shaikh and Tulsiram Prajapati alleged fake encounter cases turned hostile today, taking the total number of such witnesses to 72.

The witness, Vasant Barot, a parking contractor at Himmatnagar railway station, deposed before CBI judge S J Sharma.

In his statement to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Barot had said that he had arranged a cab to Palanpur in Gujarat for a police team on December 27, 2006 on the request of a railway police constable.

Palanpur is about 64 kilometres from Chhapri village in Banaskantha district in Gujarat. In Chhapri village, Tulsiram Prajapati, an aide of Shaikh and who was said to be a witness to the encounter, was allegedly killed by the police in December 2006.

However, in court, Barot refuted giving any such statement to the CBI, following which he was declared hostile.

Shaikh, a suspected gangster, and his wife Kauser Bi, were killed in an alleged fake encounter by the Gujarat police in November 2005.

Of the 38 people charged by the CBI for the alleged fake encounters, 15 have been discharged by the trial court in Mumbai.
