Union Minister for Water Resources Uma Bharti today said a “task force”, headed by Padma Bhushan awardee Dr Kharag Singh Valdiya and comprising water experts and historians, will look into the veracity of the claim. “The ministry will think further about the river only after its veracity was found,” Bharti said. On whether the Centre will provide help to revive the river, she said it needed to be established whether it was Saraswati. The task force has been asked to ascertain the veracity of the claims of discovery of Saraswati in Haryana and Rajasthan. Traces of underground water flow were found in a Yamunanagar village. "Yes, underground water of a river has been found. But it has to be established whether the river was indeed Saraswati" ­ Uma Bharti, Union Minister http://www.tribuneindia.com/article/news_print.aspx?story_id=203594&catid=7&mid=53 1/1

She has challenged the proclamation of emergency in 1975 and prayed to declare it as “wholly unconstitutional”. She has also claimed the compensation for all those traumata through which she and her family has passed. The author has beamed upon the incidental happenings with reference toemergency case (Habeas Corpus case) and the impact of the case on subsequent judicial pronouncements. In this case the dissent of Justice H.R.Khanna in the view of the author is certainly asilver lining in the dark cloud of emergency. The dissenting view of Justice Khanna will certainly provide the impetus to the arguments of the petitioner Veena Sarin.
