JAIPUR
The chief minister Vasundhara Raje said that she respects the freedom of media and press. Questioning the conduct of Congress during the 'Dreaded Emergency', Raje said that she has just followed the 'Rajyadharma'.
The state government has taken back the disputed gag ordinance from the select committee ruling out any possibility of passing any law which could inetrefer with the 'freedom' of media. The controversial ordinance that was aimed at giving immunity to judges, magistrates an public servants against 'frivolous' cases had created an uproar not only across the state but also in the assembly.
Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje announced the 'expiry of any further action on ordinance ' in the house while giving her reply on the budget discussions on Monday. Raje also made more announcements, particularly for the benefit of farmers, young entrepreneurs, police and home guards, while also dealing with rapists with an iron hand.
Making her statement on the Code of Criminal Procedure (Rajasthan Amendment Bill)- 2017 - being promulgated as a gag order by the opposition - Raje observed that since the ordinance has already ended with time, there is no bill to take back.
“We allowed the ordinance to lapse, and did not form a law in the state. So, how do we take it back? But still, we are taking it back from the select committee,” Raje said in her statement to the house.
However, she lashed at the opposition members by asking if they have ever said sorry for Emergency. She even quoted the Governor’s observation from July 19, 1977, citing dark times that were faced during Emergency and said, “Emergency is a black chapter in our nation’s history. Hundreds of citizens were thrown behind bars while they were only fighting to uphold democracy. They even worked and stopped the pension of MISA prisoners who we address as soldiers of democracy.”
Highlighting the achievements of her government over the past four years, the Chief Minister said, “Ninety per cent of the budget declarations over the past four years have been brought to the ground. Moreover, of the 665 points announced in the Suraj Sankalp, 84 per cent has been completed. We even held the budget early this time so that the promises we made can be fulfilled quickly.”
Differentiating her government’s budget from that of the previous government, Raje said, “There is no government that does not take loans.But the loan that we take is used for asset creation. Moreover, we are also working to decrease the fiscal deficit to Rs 1,100 crore. In four years, this government has given grants of Rs 38,000 crore to farmers and various sections.”
She added, “It's been seven days since the budget was announced. Of this, the assembly did not function for four days. In just three days time, they have read the entire budget cover to cover and analysed it also for which they are now creating an uproar. The budget is being called a voting budget by many. But interestingly, no one has criticized it. They are worried that if the budget reaches the ground, what would they do.”
Kaam karo aise ki pehchaan ban jaaye,
Har Kadam Chalo aise ki nishan ban jaaye.
Rajneeti to sab kar lete hain,
Rajdharma aise nibhao ke misaal ban jaaye.
Terming victory of Congress, media and citizens as CM Vasundhara Raje announced to withdraw The Criminal Laws (Rajasthan amendment) Bill 2017, RPCC chief Sachin Pilot has demanded her apology. “To institutionalize corruption, she had brought it in the assembly. The protest by the Congress and anger of the common man pressured the government to take it back. She now should seek apology from the people of Rajasthan,” said Pilot in a statement. Pilot has also demanded inquiries into alleged reports of corrupt practices in which few ministers were "involved."
