7] Rediff.com/PTI, April 08, 2005, Friday Zahira, Teesta to appear before SC panel Best Bakery case key witness Zahira Shaikh and social activist Teesta Setalvad, who have been trading allegations, have been asked to appear on April 18 before a high-powered committee set up by the Supreme Court to examine the veracity of their claims. Headed by Registrar General of the apex court B M Gupta, who co-opted Delhi Police Joint Commissioner Kanwaljit Deol as its member, the committee has directed both the women to appear before it, sources said. The committee, which began its probe on April 6, has been entrusted to find out in four months who was telling the truth -- Zahira or Teesta. Faced with doubts created by Zahira not only about her own statements but also Setalvad's credentials, the court had on January 10 ordered a high-level probe into the issue. Conceding that the situation was "delicate", a Bench comprising Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice H K Sema had directed the Registrar General of the apex court to take the help of an inspector general rank official from Delhi Police and conduct a probe about the basis of the statements of Zahira and the affidavits filed by Teesta in the apex Court. The Registrar General, after receiving the order, held consultations with Police Commissioner K K Paul and chose Deol for the task. While Zahira has retracted from her statement time and again, alleging during her last turnaround that she was held captive by Setalvad who made money by "selling the Bakery case abroad", the activist-lawyer alleged that the local Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bharatiya Janata Party leaders in Vadodara lured her with huge amounts of money to change her statement. http://in.rediff.com/news/2005/apr/08best.htm --------------------------------------------------------------- 8] Rediff.com/Central India News Service, April 08, 2005, Friday RSS chief to hold discussions with BJP CMs Chief ministers of five states ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party will meet Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief K S Sudarshan at the organisation's headquarters in Nagpur on Saturday. The chief ministers are Babulal Gaur (Madhya Pradesh), Raman Singh (Chhattisgarh), Narendra Modi (Gujarat), Arjun Munda (Jharkhand) and Vasundhara Raje (Rajasthan). Besides, three former chief ministers ??“ Keshubhai Patel (Gujarat), Uma Bharati (Madhya Pradesh) and Babulal Marandi (Jharkhand) ??“ are also expected to call on the RSS chief [also called Sarsanghchalak]. The meeting is being held purportedly to discuss ways and means of raising the issues of Hinduism and the Ram Temple at Ayodhya in the coming weeks. BJP chief Lal Kishenchand Advani had hinted at the party's return to Hindutva at the silver jubilee celebrations in New Delhi a few days ago. Saturday's meeting is seen as the result of Advani's stand. The leaders will also discuss the working of the Rashtriya Swabhimaan Manch floated by Janata Party leader Subramaniam Swamy and headed by former defence minister George Fernandes. The Sangh Parivar has decided to support the activities of the Manch. However, sources said that another purpose of the meeting was to ask incumbent and former chief ministers to behave in public and not take pot shots at each other. The RSS brass is understood to be very upset at the manner in which the leaders have been quarrelling in public, especially at the spats between Narendra Modi and Keshubhai Patel in Gujarat and Babulal Gaur and Uma Bharati in Madhya Pradesh. The RSS is also not very happy at the souring of relations between Munda and Marandi in Jharkhand. Sudharshan will speak to each of these leaders individually and convey to them the Sangh leadership's concern at their behaviour, sources said. Sudarshan will then summon the leaders in pairs (Modi-Patel, Gaur-Bharati and Munda-Marandi) and ask them to settle their differences, the sources said. Saturday's meetings will come close on the heels of a meeting that Sudarshan had with Swamy here on Wednesday.
