Chautala sacked

President’s rule in Haryana
NEW DELHI, Apr 6: Indian President Ramaswamy Venkataraman sacked the Deputy Premier's son from his post as chief Minister of Haryana today and brought the tiny northern state under New Delhi's direct rule, reports AFP.
It was the third time in less than three years that Om Prakash Chauthala has been forced to step down from office in the prosperous farming state of 12 million people.
He quit in disgrace twice last year and his latest tenure lasted just 15 days.
The Presidential Palace announced Venkataraman's decision a day after the federal cabinet approved the dismissal of Chauthala, who is also General Secretary of the ruling Janata Dal (JD-S, People's Party-Socialist).
"My ouster is not going to affect the electoral prospects of the party tn Haryana. Chauthala. 56. the eldest son of Deputy Prime Minister Devi
Lal," said of the cabinet decisions.
This is the only party which exists in the state,* he said Friday night.
"1 am bound by the decision of the party leadership and whatever ft decides will be binding on me," he added.
Governor Dhanik Lal Mandal. a New Delhi-appointce recommended the state governments dismissal Tuesday after Chauthala definitely refused to take a confidence vote in the legislature.
The governor had ordered him to take the vote after the disqualification of three lawmakers under an anti-defection law reduced the JD-S to a minority in Haryana.
Chauthala. a close aide of Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar, took over as Chief Minister in a surprise move on March 22.
He was forced to quit a first time in May I960 after an outcry sparked by allegations that the had engineered violence that forced the poet
ekrtton to the Haryana legisla ture
Seen as a political outcast, he staged an astonishing comeback barely two months tetter with hie father's blessing His return unleashed a political furore, sparking the resig nation of then Premier Vtahwanath Pratap Singh
■VP Singh took back the resignation and the furore ended when Chauthala stepped down a second time.
Father and son. whom op portents have accused of treat Ing Haryana like a personal fiefdom. helped Shekhar split VP Singh s party and come to power in November 1900 with the support of former Premier Rajtv Gandhi's Congress (1) party
Chauthala was also at the centre of the crisis that forced Shekhar to resign In a huff on March 6. He quit after the Congress charged Chauthala with ordering police surveillance at Gandhi s house and uttered boycotting parliament.
Haryana Is expected to elect a new legislature in a ballot expected to be held simultaneously with elections to the federal parliament in May
AFP adds: India and Pakistan agreed today to exchange information on troop movements and prevent violations of each others airspace in a bid to reduce tensions on their common border.
The agreements, described by Indian officials as confidence- boosting measures, were signed here by Indian Foreign Secretary Muchkund Dubey and his visiting Pakistani counterpart Shahryar Khan
Under one pact, the two South Asian neighbours will inform each other's military headquarters In advance when ever they undertake military exercises, manoeuvres and troop movement, the officials said
, A telephone hot line will link their directors of military operations
The agreement would help prevent tensions of the kind which broke out tn the winter of 1986 when Pakistan rushed troops and armour to the bor dcr In a panic reaction to a large Indian military exercise code- named 'Operation Bra sstacks*
The second pact commits each other to permit overnights and landings by military aircraft through specified air corridors, the officials said.
The two agreements were finalised at three days talks here which ended Thursday between military delegations ol the two countries.
India and Pakistan, which have fought three warslncc in dependence from British rule in 1947, signed an agreement in December 1988 not to at tack each others nuclear facilities in what was hailed as a major breakthrough.
But their often-thorny rcla tions hit an all-time low last year because of a muslim sepa ratlst campaign in Kashmir, where accession to India is disputed by Pakistan, which holds the northern third of the lerrilory.
Tensions on the border, marked by frequent exchanges of fire, are common.
Pakistan has denied the charges, but expressed moral and diplomatic support for the campaign which It describes as a legitimate struggle for self-determination.
