Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar was Friday slapped in the face by a Delhi youth who had only four days ago kicked former minister Sukh Ram after he was sentenced in a corruption case.
 As his horrified aides watched and cameras whirred, Harvinder Singh attacked the minister who was walking with officials at the NDMC centre here. Pawar appeared to lose his balance momentarily but recovered fast. Dressed in a blue striped T-shirt, the turbaned Sikh took out his kirpan before he was overpowered by guards. "Sab chor hain... cheer doonga... cheer doonga (They're all thieves. I will rip them apart), the man shouted as he was being whisked away.
 The man who said he was a transporter from Rohini said the common person was fed up with rising prices of food items and corruption. "I am a man, I did this. Yes I'm right!" he shouted in rage. "Dikha diya maine... (I have shown it.) Today is Guru Tegh Bahadur martyrdom day," Harvinder Singh said defiantly as he was hustled away and added that he was responsible for the assault on Sukh Ram too. Harvinder Singh, who was detained at the Parliament Street police station, had Nov 19 attacked Sukh Ram at the Rohini courts complex after his sentencing in a 1996 telecom scam case. The octogenarian former minister was unhurt.
 Harvinder Singh was detained and subsequently released. Thursday's attack, amongst the few times that a minister has been attacked in public, seemed in a similar vein. Though Pawar underplayed the incident, condemnation came in from all quarters, including from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who phoned him soon after. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief played it cool. "Why should I react? I won't call it breach of security because I don't take security with me. I'll see if this needs to be reviewed," Pawar told a news channel.
 "I was going to my car and there was a group of journalists and they were asking some questions. At the same time, I saw him (the attacker) trying to come forward... It looked like he was with the group of journalists," Pawar added. His daughter and NCP MP Supriya Sule added in a similar conciliatory tone that everybody had the right to protest in a democracy but violence must be condemned. "Let's forget about it and move ahead," she said, adding that her father was lucky to have escaped unhurt. Her party colleague Chhagan Bhujbal asked the central government to provide Pawar "full security".
 The issue also became the latest bone of contention between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), both of which condemned the attack. Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi said BJP leader Yashwant Sinha's statement on price rise had incited Harvinder Singh. To which Sinha retorted: "They can't connect this incident to my statement. This is just politics." Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare, who has for long held politicians responsible for much of the ills of the country, first said when asked to react: "Was it only one slap?" Once he realised the gravity of what had happened, he clarified: "He (the accused) could have been angry, but it is not right to hit someone. Our democracy does not allow such attacks."
Manmohan Singh Condemns Assault On Sharad Pawar: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today strongly condemned the assault on Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar at a function here."The Prime Minister regrets the increasing tendency to take recourse to violent means to express disagreement," said a statement issued by media adviser to the Prime Minister.Singh spoke to Pawar who was slapped by a youth at a public function, claiming that he was angry with corruption and price rise.

At a time when the government is arguing that " under-recoveries" for oil companies is forcing upward revision in petrol prices, its own coffers have seen windfall gains from taxes on high prices. Indirect taxes on petroleum fetched the exchequer Rs 1 lakh crore in 2010-11, a jump of 43% or over Rs 30,000 crore from the previous year.
 That's not all. The government's earnings from dividends and royalty payouts as well as profit petroleum from private oil contractors was a sizeable Rs 20,000 crore in the fiscal ending March 31, 2011. After the last hike on November 3, 2011, the petroleum ministry had said, "It is entirely misleading to calculate profit of oil companies based on the quotes of international crude and product prices of a few days." It also pointed out that the companies were expected to lose Rs 1,32,000 crore during the current financial year, or 26% of India's oil import bill.
Similar arguments have been put forward before and after every hike. But the rise in dividend payout of 13% in 2010-11 by the state-controlled oil companies over the previous year reveals a much better performance than most other corporate houses, particularly in a year when industry has been going through a global financial turmoil and slowdown.  After the recent hike in petrol price, the government had blamed the increase on the global situation, a "problem beyond control of the government". The rise in international crude prices and a devalued Indian rupee had led to a hefty oil import bill, it had said.
 However, against the claim that the oil companies and the government were sharing the burden of an abnormal hike in international crude prices, the income generated through indirect tax collections paints a different picture. The government's earnings through royalty, dividends and profit sharing have been steadily rising over the years. They have risen by 32% in 2010-11 compared to 2008-09. The government had in June cut duties to give some relief to the common man by reducing import duty on petrol and diesel from 7.5% to 2.5% while doing away with customs duty of 5% on crude oil. The excise duty on diesel was reduced by Rs 2.60 to Rs 2 per litre.
