First India Bureau
Jaipur: ADG crime
Dinesh MN, known
among youth as Sing-
ham of Rajasthan po-
lice, on Wednesday said
that in reality he is not
Singham but ‘Janta Sin-
gham’ and ‘Team Sing-
ham’ who give informa-
tion and who act. The
senior IPS also used
movie dialogues like
‘Zingadi mein jhukega
nahin’ to inspire the
youth at the 18th
Ghoomar Festival of
Rajasthan University
.
“Seeing the youth to-
day, I remember my
youth 30 years ago. I
don’t think much has
changed between our
college time and today’s
time. Even at that time
there used to be music,
movies, fun, some dra-
ma, some heartbreaks,
some rejections and af-
fairs in college. But
there was no digital at
that time. I have also
had a life like you guys.
Today, even after be-
coming an IPS, today I
have become ADG. But
I feel that even today I
am sitting among you,”
he said. He said that
there will be many dif-
ficulties in life but you
have to fight them hard.
“We have so much time
in life. Don’t be afraid
of failure. Failure is not
the one who fails once.
Rather, the one who
stops attempting is a
failure. You must have
seen the movie Pushpa,
rememberitsdialogues.
Whenever life punches
you or troubles you, you
people have to speak
firmly that we will not
bow down,” he said.
He said that in to-
day’s era it is most im-
portant to be physically
fit. “You can remove
yourself from negative
approach by doing gym,
yoga, exercise and pra-
nayama,” he said.
Warning of imbibing
crime spirit from social
media and channels,
Dinesh MN said that if
they are watched as en-
tertainment it is ok. But
those who will try to
adopt the method, we
will put them in jail.

A public perp walk into a courtroom
could energize – not humiliate Trump
ormer President Donald Trump
exitedhisblackSUVandwavedto
supporters as he walked, flanked
by Secret Service agents, into a
downtownManhattancourthouse
to be arrested on April 4, 2023.
This brief moment could eas-
ily be called the perp walk of the
century
.
Hundreds of visual journal-
ists trained their cameras on the
courthouse door, and helicop-
ters overhead captured Trump’s
short walk. Trump was visible
to the public a second time in-
side the courthouse at around
2:30 p.m. and, with a stern ex-
pression, again walked past se-
curity guards and police. As
Trump’s lawyer Joe Tacopina
said would happen, Trump was
not handcuffed.
Trump got what he wanted, as
he, according to recent media
reports, wanted to be the center
of attention and create a specta-
cle. His detractors also got what
they wanted, which was a visual
record of Trump officially sub-
mitting to authorities, five days
after he was indicted for 34 al-
leged felonies related to busi-
ness fraud and a hush money
payment to a porn star.
But Trump and his support-
ers are not likely to treat this as
a walk of shame. Indeed, a high-
profile event like a perp walk
may further fuel Trump’s run
for presidency
.
I have studied perp walks for
morethan10years,andIamanx-
ious to see how court officials,
the New York Police Department
and the Secret Service will han-
dle Trump’s arrival at the New
York courthouse on April 4.
Normally perp walks are seen
as their own kind of punish-
ment – a media ritual that puts
an alleged criminal on display
for all to see. But Trump is a
master showman and will be the
ultimate ringmaster of his in-
dictment. I believe that he clear-
ly wants to – and will be able to
– spin the event to his favor.
A RELATIVELY
RECENT TREND
As I described in my 2021 book,
“Seeing Justice,” perp walks
have been part of visual news
for decades. But the term be-
came common in popular cul-
ture relatively recently
.
A search of The New York
Times archives found it used for
the first time in 1994 as part of a
feature on the jargon of tabloid
journalism. Since then, the
term spread from the occupa-
tional lingo of police and jour-
nalists into the public sphere.
A perp walk happens when
police officers bring a person ar-
rested in a crime through a pub-
lic area so he or she can be pho-
tographed by the media.
During a perp walk, defend-
ants may be handcuffed or wear-
ing prison clothing, accompa-
nied by officers, or they might
be photographed as they freely
walk into court. Sometimes they
run, and sometimes they put
jackets over their heads.
In unusual cases, defendants
try to trick the press to avoid be-
ingphotographed.FormerPenn-
sylvania State Attorney General
Kathleen Kane had her twin sis-
ter Ellen Granahan Goffer act as
a decoy and walk to court in her
place after Kane was arrested on
charge of perjury and obstruc-
tion of justice in 2015.
Photographers recorded Gof-
fer walking by
, and some of them
were unable to recover and cap-
ture the moment when Kane her-
self walked by shortly thereafter.

A POINT OF SHAME
Perp walks are often a way to
shame a criminal, even though
they usually occur before a per-
son is found guilty
.
For many criminals, this ritu-
al is a moment of shame and em-
barrassment. In my previous
career as a TV journalist, I cov-
ered quite a few walks when the
person accused did everything
they could to avoid the cameras.
It is the scarlet letter of the digi-
tal age, which is why many of
Trump’s critics on social media
want one so badly they’ve been
photo-editingfakeonesforyears.
Perpwalksareproductionsput
on by the press and law enforce-
ment. Some result simply from a
tip by police officers about where
andwhenapersonwillappear.In
some cases, as when Hollywood
mogul Harvey Weinstein was ar-
rested in 2018, perp walks are
scheduled in advance with care-
ful security plans for where pho-
tographersmayormaynotstand.
High-profile defendants are
scrutinized for the way they
walk, dress and face the camer-
as. In Weinstein’s case, for in-
stance, his humble blue sweater
made headlines.
Perp walks rarely occur spon-
taneously. They are usually
tightly controlled and produced
by the judicial system as a form
of public relations for the crim-
inal justice system. In 2000, the
2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals ruled that this procedure
is a legitimate way of informing
the press and public of police
activity
. In this case, a New York
doorman arrested for alleged
theft of an apartment tenant’s
belongings sued New York City
and the police department after
he was forced to do a perp walk.
He said it violated his rights.
Orchestrating a perp walk for
the former president, however,
is not likely to satisfy the yearn-
ings of those who want so badly
to see him punished for his al-
leged crime.
Trump knows how to play to
the camera and create his own
media events. This is why he was
prepared to appear in New York
as a show of defiance against
criminal charges stemming
from his alleged hush money
payment to porn actress Stormy
Daniels. A man with dark hair
and a dark suit smiles. He stands

.Perrywascharged
with overstepping his powers by
defunding an integrity unit.
Perry held a rally outside the
courthouse before walking in
and shaking hands with onlook-
ers en route to the booking
room. He then flashed an ironic
smile for his mug shot. Not only
did Perry not shrink from the
ritual, he won the visual mo-
ment in the court of public opin-
ion. All charges against him
were eventually dismissed.

to see him humiliated, but they
should keep in mind that his
first courthouse appearance

LITERATURE OF REVENGE?
NCERT removes portions of RSS, Gandhi Godse from books
FOR COMPUTERISATION OF 58,383 PACS
‘SHOULDN’T BE BLOWN
OUT OF PROPORTION’
WHITEWASHING WITH
A VENGEANCE: CONG
New Delhi (PTI): NCERT
chief Dinesh Saklani said it
could have been an “over-
sight” that some deletions
were not announced in its
rationalisation exercise last
year. Reiterating all necessary
procedures were followed
during the rationalisation that
saw crucial chapters getting
truncated, he said it should
not be “blown out of propor-
tion” and all changes which
have been carried out will be
notified in a day or two.
New Delhi (PTI) : The Con-
gress on Wednesday hit out
at the government over texts
missing from NCERT's new
class 12 textbooks, including
Mahatma Gandhi's pursuit
of Hindu-Muslim unity irking
the right-wing and the ban on
the RSS for some time, and
called it whitewashing with a
vengeance. The NCERT, how-
ever, claims that no curricu-
lum trimming has happened
this year and the syllabus was
rationalised last year.
New Delhi (Agen-
cies): National Council
of Educational Re-
search and Training
(NCERT) has removed
paragraphs from Class
12 Political Science
textbooks that con-
tained information
about the ban briefly
imposed on Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh
(RSS) by the then gov-
ernment after the as-
sassination of Mahat-
ma Gandhi. Along with
this, paragraphs which
stated that Gandhi’s
quest for Hindu-Mus-
lim unity provoked
Hindu extremists have
also been removed from
the curriculum.
All these deletions
are not part of the of-
ficially released book-
let on rationalisation
of syllabus, which is
available on the
NCERT website. —REPRESENTATIONAL IMAGE
New Delhi: The Bombay HC on Wednesday continued till fur-
ther orders an interim stay on show-cause notice and penalty
demand issued to industrialist Anil
Ambani by the Income Tax depart-
ment under the Black Money Act. A
division bench of Justices posted
Ambani’s petition challenging the
notice and penalty demand for
hearing on April 28, and gave time to the IT department to file
its reply. The HC had in September 2022 granted an interim
stay to the show-cause notice pending hearing.
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday granted
more time to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar to
file his written submissions in the plea challenging the
framing of charges against him under the anti-money
laundering law in a 2017 Election Commission corruption
case. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had registered the
case. On March 2, the court had asked the ED and Chan-
drashekhar to file written submissions. During the hearing
on Wednesday, the alleged conman’s counsel Anant Malik
sought more time to file the written submissions.

CALL DUE TO COVID
New Delhi: The Calcutta
High Court on Wednes-
day asked the Mamata
Banerjee government to
seek paramilitary forces
from the centre to keep
the peace during Hanu-
man Jayanti celebrations.
The order comes against
the backdrop of a spate
of violence in Bengal’s
Howrah and Hooghly
districts during Ram
Navami processions. The
paramilitary forces, the
court said, will generate
confidence and ensure
law and order.
New Delhi: Chief Justice
of India DY Chandrachud
today took note of the ris-
ing number of COVID-19
cases in the country and
said the SC is willing to

tice of India and Justice JB
Pardiwala said the court
is more than willing to
permit lawyers to appear
through the hybrid mode.
“We can hear you through
video conferencing mode
also,” the Chief Justice of
India said.

New Delhi (ANI): The
Centre has received

Primary Agricultural
Credit Societies (PACS)
from 24 states and 4 Un-
ion Territories so far,
Union Home Minister
Amit Shah informed

.
The project entails
bringing all the func-
tional PACS onto ERP
(Enterprise Resource
Planning) based com-
mon software, linking
them with NABARD
through State Coopera-
tive Banks (StCBs) and
District Central Coop-
erative Banks (DCCBs).

tral and State Levels by
NABARD, he said, add-
ing development of
software has been start-
ed by the National Level
Project Software Ven-
dor (NLPSV) selected
by NABARD.
The expected benefit
of the computerisation
of the PACS project, in-
ter alia, are - increasing
efficiency of their oper-
ations, ensuring speedy
disbursal of loans, low-
ering of transaction
costs, reducing imbal-
ances in payments,
seamless accounting
with DCCBs and StCBs
and increasing trans-
parency
, he said.

—Amit Shah, Home Minister
New Delhi (Agencies):
A delegation of Muslim
religious leaders met Union
Home Minister Amit Shah
late last night and flagged
incidents of communal
violence after Ram Navami
and hate speeches. The del-
egation was led by Jamiat
Ulama-e-Hind president
Maulana Mahmood Madani,
secretary Niyaz Faruqui and
All India Muslim Personal
Law Board members Kamal
Faruqui and Professor
Akhtarul Wasey. Speaking
to NDTV, Niyaz Faruqui
said the delegation raised
14 challenges facing the
country. Recent incidents
of communal violence in
Bihar, West Bengal and
Maharashtra were among
the key topics discussed in
the meeting, he said. This
was a different Amit Shah
from the one we see deliv-
ering political speeches. He
responded positively, he
heard us in detail, he was
not in a denial mode, he
said. The incidents, many
of which took place in
non-BJP ruled states, took
place during Ram Navami
processions. While the BJP
has alleged that their rallies
were attacked, the Opposi-
tion parties have said it was
the BJP that engineered
the violence for political
gains. The Muslim leaders
also raised the incident in
Bihar's Nalanda in which
a madrasa was set on fire,
Faruqui said.

Not Kharge, but RaGa is
captain of Congress: Nabi
New Delhi (PTI): Vet-
eran politician and for-
mer Union minister
Ghulam Nabi Azad be-
lieves that the Congress
is still run by remote
control and he also
came down heavily on a
new coterie of inexpe-
rienced sycophants
who manage its affairs.
Ahead of the release
of his book 'Azaad -- an
autobiography', the for-
mer Congress stalwart,
who quit the party last
year, refused to talk
about the issues he had
with his former col-
leagues, saying the
more I dig into the past,
the more bitterness sur-
faces, and I don't want
to dwell with that since
I have stepped out of
the party.
At the same time,
Azad, who was chief
minister of the erst-
while state of JK and
leader of opposition in
the Rajya Sabha, said he
had great respect for
Jawaharlal Nehru, In-
dira Gandhi, Sanjay
Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi
and Sonia Gandhi, but
acknowledged there
were political differenc-
es with Rahul Gandhi.
...as an individual, I
am not saying Rahul
Gandhi is a bad person.
As an individual he is a
good person. Maybe we
have some political is-
sues but those are the
political issues that I
had with him as long as
I was in the Congress.
Since I am no longer in
the Congress party
, I am
nobody to tell him what
is right for him and
what is wrong for him,
the Democratic Pro-
gressive Azad Party
(DPAP) chief said.
I can only wish him
well both health wise
and politically. It is for
him to navigate. I only
wish he is a good swim-
mer and he knows how
to navigate the rough
waters, Azad told PTI.

AZAD IS ‘GHULAM’, SAYS CONGRESS AFTER
FORMER LEADER ATTACKS RAHUL GANDHI
New Delhi (Agencies): Congress on Wednesday attacked
former party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad for his comments
against party leadership in his upcoming autobiography
and in media statements.Congress spokesperson Pawan
Khera accused Azad of exchanging his loyalty in lieu of
a “Lutyens’ Bungalow”, noting that it was the Congress
which gave him all the posts to emerge as a big leader.
“The politician, who was supported by the Congress party,
given almost all the top posts of the party, is is speaking
against that party... he broke the trust of the party and
when he left the party last year, he said ‘I am free now’, but
after listening to his comments, it feels that he is (still a)
Ghulam,” he added. Azad, in his statement praised PM Na-
rendra Modi for his generosity and targeted Rahul Gandhi
over the fate and the shrinking base of the Congress.
‘MHA sanctioned Safe

‘Beware of Scindia,a word of caution for PM’
New Delhi (PTI): The
Congress today hit back
at Union minister Jyoti-
raditya Scindia for his
scathing criticism of
Rahul Gandhi, and said
dra Modi should “be-
ware” of a man who did
not stay loyal to his for-
mer party and will also
“not be loyal” to him.
He launched a sharp
attack on Gandhi and
the Congress, alleging
the party has been left
with no ideology except
the one of a “traitor”
which works against
the country. The BJP
leader attacked the Con-
gress for according Ra-
hul Gandhi a “special
treatment” following
his conviction in a defa-
mation case and ac-
cused the party of pres-
suring the judiciary,
and doing everything
possible to stay rele-
vant. Slamming Scindia

gress’ media and public-
ity department head
Pawan Khera said, “We

beware of the man who
despite attaining politi-
cal heights under the

stay loyal to the Con-
gress party, he will not
be loyal to you,” the
Congress leader said.

ment of the country,
Governor Kalraj

called for paying more
attention to the skill de-

He said that the uni-

such courses and imple-
ment them effectively
so that the students can
be motivated to contin-
uously learn new things
and make themselves
self-reliant from a pro-
fessional point of view.
He was addressing

the new education poli-
cy made on the basic
concepts of easy access,
quality, and accounta-
bility for all, he empha-
sized its effective imple-
mentation.

Jaipur: After the in-
structions of NGT, 15
years old diesel com-
mercial vehicles are
banned in Jaipur,
Udaipur, Jodhpur, Kota,
and Alwar cities. In
compliance with the in-
structions of NGT, the
Transport Department
is rapidly working and
phased out about 68 per-
cent of the vehicles in
these cities.
The NGT’s intention
behind banning these
vehicles is to save these
cities from pollution as
15-year-old commercial
diesel vehicles spread
pollution very fast
which causes problems
for the people.
In order to phase out
15 years old commercial
diesel vehicles quickly,
the department has also
decided to give an ex-
emption for scrapping.
If a 15 years old diesel
vehicle is given to the
scrap center, then the
vehicle owner will be
able to buy a new vehi-
cle (on private 25 per-
cent and 15 percent on
commercial) tax and
registration fees will be
exempted.

tion has been given in

cus will be on highlight-
ing Gehlot govt’s feats

Congress outlines strategy to

First India Bureau
Jaipur: Rajasthan PCC
Chief GS Dotasra ap-
pears to have earned
the trust and honour of
senior leaders and
thus he has full
“Powers”! This
means that no one
is stopping him
from taking deci-
sions regarding
the organisation. In
fact, State in-charge
Sukhjinder Randhawa
has the same attitude
towards him and sourc-
es reveal that his think-
ing is that there should
be no hindrance in
strengthening the or-
ganisation and it should
be active at district,
block, booth levels.
But there is still a ‘grey
area’ question
arises is as to who
is stopping PCC
Chief Dotasra
from working
‘freely?’ Till now
even the Dist Prez
couldn’t be declared as
per his wish the ex-
tended team of PCC
hasn’t been released
yet. That’s why Dotasra
needs both ‘free hand’
and ‘freedom.’

eige is the new
black and it’s back
as a staple in the
fashion world.
Fashion bloggers
and celebrities
have been spotted
wearing the neutral hue
this season, making it a
trend to watch. Beige
tones are modern, glam-
orous and versatile and
the key to keeping the
look fresh is to wear it
from head to toe, mixing
different textures and
tones. Beige is an easy
way to update your ward-
robe if you’re not into
bright colours, as it’s any-
thing but boring. From
trench coats to distressed
jeans to knitted dresses, in
camel, biscuit and sand, beige
is a classic choice that never
goes out of style.
Wearing beige is not only a
stylish choice but also an environ-
mentally friendly one that’s in-
spired by nature. The shade works
well with other colours, making it
a great choice for all seasons. The
trend has been gaining momen-
tum in recent weeks, as influenc-
ers around the world have in-
corporated beige into
their wardrobes. A mon-
ochrome look is an op-
tion, but to create a
more striking appear-
ance, mixing different
fabrics and textures is
the way to go.
Black is no longer
the reigning colour, as
beige has gained
ground in the womens-
wear wardrobe. De-
spite being previously
considered dull or
classic, beige is now a
go-to colour for fash-
ion-forward women.
The shade’s versatili-
ty allows it to be worn
year-round and paired
with many other col-
ours. Cottagecore, a
trend that celebrates
nature and simplicity,
has also played a role in
the increasing popular-
ity of beige.
In conclusion, beige is
a classic colour that contin-
ues to be a chic choice in the
fashion world. Its versatility,
easy wear ability, and ability
to work with other colours make
it a trend that’s here to stay. So
go ahead and add a touch of beige
to your wardrobe, you won’t
regret it.
