CBI to probe Anandpal encounter case

Centre Government has given its nod for a CBI probe into the alleged encounter of gangster Anandpal in July, sources said. The Centre has reportedly informed the Home Department that the case is being handed over to the CBI. With the Centre’s nod for a CBI probe, the state government has breathed easy. The BJP state government had requested a CBI probe via a letter sent on July 24. However, the CBI rejected the request on November 15, citing lack of evidence in the case for initiating a probe. 

The state government again wrote to the central government on December 17 pleading that discontent among Rajputs was growing as their primary demand for a CBI investigation has not been accepted. The government warned in a letter that not ordering a CBI probe could worsen the law and order situation in the state. Anandpal Singh was killed in a police encounter in Malasar village of Churu district on June 24. His family members questioned the credibility of the encounter and claimed he was killed even though he wanted to surrender. The police officials in their defence said that he was asked to surrender several times, but he had opened fire on policemen.

Valmiki community protest against 'Tiger Zinda Hai' in Rajasthan

Rajasthan saw massive protests against another Bollywood film, with members of the Valmiki community disrupting the morning shows of "Tiger Zinda Hai", a Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer, in many cinema halls across the state on Friday in protest against the alleged use of a pejorative word by Salman during a promotional event. The protesters also filed a complaint at the Nahargarh police station.
The protesters alleged that Salman had insulted the Valmiki community by using "cheap language". Earlier, the protests started from Ajmer and soon reached Jaipur and Kota, leading to cancellation of the morning shows in several cinema halls of the film that released nationwide on Friday. The movie has been directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and comes as a sequel to Kabir Khan's blockbuster "Ek Tha Tiger". Earlier, protests had broken out against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmavati" for allegedly distorting history.

Rajasthan Government approves 1% reservation for Gurjars

Rajasthan Government on Thursday approved one percent reservation for 'Gujjars' and four other backward castes. With this initiation, the Gujjars can now seek benefits in educational institutions and job opportunities. The allotment of one percent reservation to five communities completes the 50 percent quota limit for reservations in Rajasthan. Earlier in October, the Rajasthan Government passed a bill, which increased Other Backward Classes (OBC) quota from 21 percent to 26 percent.

The Backward Classes (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions in the State and of Appointments and Posts in Services under the State) Bill provided reservation to the five "most backward" OBC communities, including Gujjars and four other communities- Banjara,Baldiya, Labana; Gadiya Lohar, Gadoliya; Raika, Rebari, Debasi and Gadariya, Gadri, Gayari, which were earlier grouped as the special backward classes (SBC). The government had tabled the Bill in Assembly's monsoon session this year to provide reservation in educational institutions and state jobs for the category of more backward classes within the backward classes.
However, with this quota of five percent to OBCs, the total percentage of various quotas has crossed 50 percent. Now, the total quota in Rajasthan stands at 54 percent- 26 percent for OBCs, 16 percent for SCs, and 12 percent for STs. This is in violation of the Supreme Court guidelines, which say the total quota in government jobs and educational institutes for different reserved categories in the state cannot go beyond 50 percent. Last year, the Rajasthan High Court had struck down government's attempt to grant five percent quota to Gujjars as it would have shot the overall reservation to 54 percent.
