P C Chacko,chairman of the JPC on 2G spectrum allocation,has played the role of an editor with the dissent notes submitted by Opposition members. In all,there are six dissent notes and barring that of BJD member Arjun Charan Sethi,he has made changes in all the five notes which include that of Left leaders Sitaram Yechury,Gurudas Dasgupta,DMKs T R Baalu and BJPs Yashwant Sinha. It is not that Chacko has any soft corner for Sethi,but the note one gets to hear is a one-liner in which Sethi has just said he does not agree with the report. Chacko believes as the chairman of the panel he has the right to edit dissent notes which contain words,phrases or expressions which are irrelevant or inappropriate. Chacko is to submit the controversial report which has already been rejected by the Opposition to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar Tuesday.

MANMOHAN vs MODI

All eyes are on an event in Ahmedabad on Tuesday where Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is expected to share the dais with BJPs PM candidate Narendra Modi. The function is to inaugurate a memorial dedicated to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and the PM will also be addressing the gathering. Singh is expected to go a step ahead in his address over what National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon did earlier this month taking a dig at Modi during a lecture on Patel in which he said that unlike his imitators,the leader had worked for communal harmony. It is to be seen if Modi will respond to it in his address to the gathering.

FRIENDLY GESTURE

While Pakistan has not been in any mood to accept Indias position that the entire state of Jamp;K including PoK is its territory,the neighbouring countrys armed forces seem to be more accommodative. In an article in the official Pakistan armed forces magazine Hilal,a map has been published that aligns with Indias version of the International Border the only exception being that the Line of Actual Control LAC with China has also been marked out. The entire state otherwise is shown as part of India. Ironically,the article that has been penned by a Colonel and is titled Indias military threat to China,has been tagged right at the beginning as Future Maps.
