10 more Indians attacked in Australia

Three cab drivers and a pizza delivery boy have been attacked in Brisbane in separate incidents, according to Australia's Sky News. One of the cab drivers was allegedly punched and dragged out of his taxi, says the channel. The pizza delivery boy was allegedly beaten with a cricket bat and robbed at the home of somebody who ordered a pizza.

Australia media is also reporting that six Indian students were attacked in their own home in Melbourne on Tuesday, which was India's Republic Day. A group of Australians allegedly stormed into the house. One Indian student was allegedly hit by a baseball bat, another's hand was cut with a knife. In the brawl that followed, the Indian students damaged their attackers' car. When the Indians went to the police to file a complaint, they ended up with a case against them for damaging the Australians' car.

News of these attacks comes a day after India's Foreign Minister, S M Krishna, met his Australian counterpart in London.

Speaking to NDTV, Krishna explained that he had told Australia to contain the "unprovoked attacks" that have targeted Indians recently. Last year, more than a 100 Indians were allegedly assaulted in Australia. This year, the attacks have continued.

Krishna says that a dossier given to him by the Australian government on the attacks does not discuss whether they are racist in nature.

Under pressure from India, Australia has also set up a special committee to investigate the attacks. It will meet for the first time at the end of this week.

42 undertrials freed in Delhi

New Delhi Jan. 27: To put the criminal justice system on the fast track and expedite the cases involving petty offences, a Delhi court on Wednesday released 42 undertrial prisoners languishing in jails for various petty offences. The court’s order, the first of its kind, came following the Union government’s move to decongest overcrowded jails by July. The plan is to reduce the number of undertrial prisoners by two-third in the next six months. The process is an initiative of law and justice minister M. Veerappa Moily, who was present at the Patiala House court complex along with Justice Madan B. Lokur of the Delhi high court to witness the first such release on Wednesday. The order of the court comes in the wake of the overcrowding in jails, the huge pendency of cases and protracted trials in the justice delivery system. “It’s a reformative process and should be encouraged,” Dr Moily said on the occasion. Those prisoners who were released or granted bail today are lodged in various jails involving petty offences like theft, pick-pocketing, snatching and robberies. Dr Moily said, “The need of the hour is to release prisoners who are lodged in jails for years together and are involved in petty offences so that they don’t become hard core criminals when they come out.” “We are planning to release 1.7 lakh prisoners till July 31 around India. To begin this, we have informed all the courts and the various legal services authorities to prepare the list of prisoners who can be released,” Dr Moily said. The minister said chief justices of state high courts have been asked to prepare a report “as fast as possible” about the people in jails, their offences, the nature of cases, and the maximum punishment they can invite so that these trials can be completed by July 31.

Send girls to school, or pay fine

Jaipur Jan. 27: Though girls are often asked to stay home instead of enrolling in school, a village called Dungero Ki Tala in the border district of Barmer has shown the way for other villages. The village slaps a fine if someone does not send their daughter to school. There is not a single house in the village, with 200 families, which has not sent its girls to study in schools. “Twenty years back, not a single girl was literate. Now the number of boy students is 180 while the girls’ number has jumped to 225,” says Kesar, a villager. Located only 25 km from the district headquarters of Barmer, the village does not has a senior-level secondary school. The girls used to walk 6 km to reach the nearest school at Sanavda village. According to the villagers, the year 1995 was a turning point for them when the elders decided to impose a fine if someone did not send their daughter to school. This also set an example for the neighbouring villages like Ramderia and Hathitala. The villagers there got inspiration from Dungero Ki Tala. The girls from Dungero Ki Tala also made their presence felt in khokho sport as students like Maya, Nemi, Veero, Priya and Pepi were selected for the national team. The same group of girls found a place in the state team. The border district of Barmer made a spectacular journey in education while achieving literacy of 59 per cent. But female literacy is still 44 per cent while male literacy is 73 per cent. According to sources, there are 13 schools in the district which do not have a single girl student while 17 such schools have only one or two girl student. *** SC notice on shelter to all S.S. NEGI New Delhi Jan. 27: After forcing the Delhi government to provide shelter to every street dweller in the national capital, the Supreme Court on Wednesday sought to expand the ambit of its direction to all the states to save urban homeless from the vagaries of the nature and issued notice to all the states and Union Territories for urgent responses. The Supreme Court acted on the reports of two panels appointed by it under two former bureaucrats to assess the implementation of Centrally-sponsored schemes on free shelters to the street dwellers and distribution of food items to the people living below the poverty line. The reports were submitted to a bench comprising Justices Dalveer Bhandari and K.S. Radhakrishnan by the court-appointed commissioners — N.C. Saxena and Harsh Mander — in a PIL by People’s Union of Civil Liberties relating to the plight of the poorest of the poor. The court commissioners said the street dwellers in urban areas are exposed to the vagaries of nature more as they are living in the open as compared to poor in rural areas who at least have a sort of roof on their heads. To ensure quick response, the bench directed that the notices to them be served through their standing counsel in the top court within a week. , while further hearing in the matter was deferred to March 9. “Living in the open is denial of the right to live with dignity, therefore similar direction is needed to be passed for entire country as was issued in case of the Delhi government on January 20,” said the two court commissioners in their reports. The two panels have recommended that the government should build at least one night shelter with the basic amenities to a population of one lakh in urban areas. Instead of providing them ration under the Antyodya Ann Yojna as demanded by PUCL, they recommended providing cooked food with a provision of a community kitchen for 20,000 street dwellers. After the Delhi government acted promptly on the top court direction, the bench appreciated its efforts to provide shelter to every street dweller within 24 hours by working on war footing to save them form the biting cold.

Ex-Kerala top cop to be tried

New Delhi Jan. 27: The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed the petition by 85-year-old former Kerala DGP P. Vijyan in an alleged “fake encounter” of Naxalite leader Varghese three decades ago and allowed the trial judge to proceed with the case against him and two other cops. However, a bench of Justices P. Sathasivam and H.L. Dattu allowed Vijayan to file a fresh application for discharge before the special CBI judge in Ernakulam. An FIR was registered by the CBI against Vijyan, a highly decorated police officer only on March 3, 1999 while the encounter had taken place in February 1970. Vijayan had fought a long-drawn legal battle for quashing of the FIR right from the sessions court to state high court and the top court. “Thought the trial judge has not assigned detailed reasons for dismissing the application for discharge filed by Vijayan, it is clear from the trial court order that after consideration of the relevant materials charge had been framed for offence under Section 302 (murder) read with Section 34 (common intention to do unlawful act) of the IPC,” the top court said. Since the trial had not progressed, the former DGP could not claim at this stage there was “no sufficient ground” for proceeding against him. “Whether the trial will end in conviction or acquittal is also immaterial,” the top court said. As per the police version, Varghese was killed when he had tried to escape from custody while being taken to Mananthavadi station in a jeep on February 18, 1970. Besides Vijayan, the CBI had chargesheeted constable Ramachandran Nair and another cop Lakshmana for the alleged fake encounter. *** T-leader moves top court Age Correspondent New Delhi Jan. 27: In an attempt to give a new dimension to the Telangana issue, a leader of the movement and former MP on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court for declaring the seats of 139 pro-Telangana MLAs, cutting across party lines, vacant in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, claiming that under the law their resignations are “deemed” to be accepted by the Speaker the moment he had received them. Listing 13 grounds under the Constitution, parliamentary rules, Assembly rules and procedures and precedents for treating the resignations of the 139 MLAs, submitted to Speaker N. Kiran Kumar Reddy on December 10, 2009 for action by the top court, former MP M. Narayan Reddy from Nizamabad described Speaker’s non-action on the resignations as violation of the legislators’ right to freedom of speech and expression. While seeking a direction to the Speaker to declare these seats vacant, Narayan Reddy’s counsel Subodh Markandey made a mention of the writ petition before a bench, headed by the CJI for urgent hearing.

Bihar landless see ray of hope

Chautarwa (West Champaran) Jan. 27: A landless peasants’ movement in north Bihar against a few super-wealthy landlords illegally owning hundreds of acres of land and an indifferent state government had several reasons for frustration when its tricolour-led effort to help some landless families reclaim their land failed on Republic Day. But thousands of landless people in the region felt a small but significant success in their decades-old movement when two landlords who masterminded attacks on activists the previous night spent hours in police lock-up and were later sent to jail. This was the first such arrest of an influential West Champaran zamindar over the land issue in recent years. A large crowd of landless people gathered for a public meeting under the tricolour at Lagunaha village was awash with the subtle message — that the illegal zamindari system has been brought to its knees by sustained, peaceful movement waged by three organisations with support from Bihar’s leading social activists. The villagers, including many women, sang songs excoriating the landlords. “While the landless villagers here are free under the open sky on Republic Day, two perpetrators of injustice are locked behind the bars. Last night’s attacks and the administration’s requests forced us to postpone our plans to restore some of the illegally occupied land to their rightful owners today,” said Pankaj, leader of the apolitical Bhoomi Satyagraha movement. Goodluck Rao and Nitish Rao, who reportedly own hundreds of acres of land illegally, were arrested by Bagaha police from their house, fearfully known in the area as Ratwal Durbar, for leading attacks on activists of the Parchadhari Sangharsh Vahini and two other democratic outfits on Monday midnight. “The zamindar’s men also groped many women saying we hid bombs under our saris and abused us in filthy language,” said Phuljhari Devi, a landless woman among about a hundred like her at the meeting. The attacks were condemned by senior social activists like C.A. Priyadarshi, Ranjeev Kumar and Rupesh, who had come from Patna to help in the tricolour-led land reclamation movement.

Non-UPA floor coordination likely

New Delhi Jan. 27: The Budget Session of Parliament beginning next month may see floor coordination between the non-UPA members. While the supporting parties like the Samajwadi Party and the RJD are going back to the basics, the BSP and the Left cannot afford to go ahead with their old line in the changing political situation. This will also be a first session of BJP’s Sushma Swaraj as the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Her performance and the skill to consolidate non-UPA parties will also be under watch. Earlier, the Opposition parties and the SP, RJD found it difficult to work together with Mr L.K. Advani on the floor because of his hardline image. But Ms Swaraj could be acceptable to the non-NDA parties wanting to sharpen their attack on the government before the Assembly elections in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. The appointment of former MP, Mohan Singh as SP’s general secretary and spokesman in place of Mr Amar Singh is seen as a significant development. SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav has sent out a clear message to his political consitutency through this appointment. This means that his priority is not to keep the “corporate world” and the Bollywood in good humour and strengthen the party through TV debates. AICC sources viewed that the SP without Mr Amar Singh would be more foucssed, aggressive at the ground level. The party did not expand outside Uttar Pradesh when Mr Amar Singh was its general secretary, they pointed out. RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, who had once described himself as the freelancer of the Congress, has realised that latter is not keen to really with it before the Bihar polls. The Congress party wants to regin lost ground among the upper castes, dalits and minorities under the leadership AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi in the coming Bihar Assembly polls. Therefore, the RJD cannot afford to play a second fiddle to the UPA during the Budget Session. Ms Swaraj had good equations with the two Yadavs. It will be interesting to see how the BSP will play a role on the floor in two Houses of Parliament during the session. Congress insiders’ attempt to hold the agriculture minister Sharad Pawar responsible for the price rise have come as warning to the UPA constituents — DMK, Trinamul Congress and the NCP — that their ministers are under watch.

Leaders cross party lines to honour Basu

New Delhi Jan. 27: The condolence gathering organised in memory of veteran CPI(M) leader Jyoti Basu by major Left party, witnessed leaders cutting across party lines, including the Congress, SP, AIADMK, DMK, JD(U), BJD, National Conference, Akali Dal, coming together and hailing Basu as a leader who would have impacted a turn in political events if he had become Prime Minister of the ruling United Front government in 1996. “Had Basu become the Prime Minister, the turn in political events would have been different today” — such was the refrain of speeches by several leaders, including SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Akali Dal leader and former Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker S.S. Atwal and Union minister and National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah. Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said the departed Marxist leader had shown the way as to how to run a coalition government way back in late 1960s. “In a coalition, the leader of a minority party can lead a government. It is not necessary that only the majority party can lead.” “A coalition government has to be run in accordance with the consensus emerging out of the political parties which are part of the coalition. These were issues which Basu raised as early as in 1969 when he was the deputy CM in West Bengal’s United Front government,” Mr Mukherjee said. *** SP website still has Amar name AGE correspondent Lucknow Jan. 27: Old relationships and habits die hard and the Samajwadi Party website is an example of this. The party website has not yet deleted Mr Amar Singh’s name and profile and the Thakur leader continues to be named as party general secretary and spokesman. However, it is evident that the party website has been updated after Mr Singh’s fallout with the party leadership because in the news section, the scroll clearly states that Mr Singh has resigned from party posts. Similarly, the Samajwadi Party website continues to mention Mr Janeshwar Misra as the party vice-president though the scroll displays news of his demise and cremation. The two Samajwadi Party MPs Jaya Bachchan and Jaya Prada also continue to find a place of prominence in the Samajwadi website. However, actor Sanjay Dutt, who also resigned as general secretary after Mr Amar Singh put in his papers earlier this month, finds no mention in the party website making it amply clear that no one in the party ever took his position seriously. Meanwhile, when questioned, a party functionary said that the party was waiting for things to consolidate before making changes in the website. “We do not want to rush into certain decisions. It will take some time before the necessary changes are made,” he explained.

Amar must quit RS: New SP spokesman

New Delhi Jan. 27: Close on the heels of the Samajwadi Party accepting the resignation of Amar Singh from all party posts, the Mulayam Singh Yadav-led party on Wednesday accepted the resignations of film actor Sanjay Dutt and Obaidullah Azmi as party general secretaries. Also, in a further setback to Amar Singh, the newly-appointed party’s national spokesperson Mohan Singh, who has also been made a general secretary, demanded Amar Singh’s resignation from the Rajya Sabha too. “Since he has detached himself from the party by resigning from the posts of general secretary, member of parliamentary board and spokesperson, he should re-sign from Rajya Sabha on moral grounds. Rajya Sabha membership is given by the party and, therefore, he sh-ould resign from the Upper House of Parliament.” He further said, “Amar Singh is now part of history. Parties which understand the common man’s issues continue to prosper. It will take sometime for the party to regain its socialist image.” People felt that the SP has become a party of corporates, he said, adding that now party workers will change that perception. Mr Mohan Singh has been appointed as national spoke-sperson and general secretary of the party. Amar Singh had recently quit all party posts over diff-erences with relatives of the SP chief. Party announced the appointment of three new general secretaries in place of Amar Singh, Oba-idullah Azmi and Sanjay Dutt. Besides Mohan Singh, the two other general secretaries are Vishambhar Pras-ad Nishad and Ramasare Kushwaha. Reacting to this, Amar Singh, said, “Mulayam Singh Yadav has kept his word of moving ahead by appointing Mohan Singh as new party Spokesman and leaving an ‘ill’ person like me behind for the sake of power.” He further said the party chief had taken the decision on a day which was incidentally also his (Amar Singh’s) birthday. “I am grateful to Mulayamji for not forgetting an ordinary party worker as he telephoned me in the morning and wished me on my birthday,” said Amar Singh. He further said he did not care much about the new appointments made by Mr Yadav in the party as he was “detached” from all such developments. When asked about his future plans, he said: “I don’t know why the media is so curious about the future of an irrelevant party worker of a regional party, which is neither relevant in UP nor at the Centre.” He, however, said that nobody could predict what would happen in future. “I am relaxing now and not playing politics at all,” said Amar Singh.

Bhubaneswar hosts tribal festival

BHUBANESWAR - Orissa capital Bhubaneswar is playing host to a week-long State-level Adivasi Mela.

A 25 Integrated Tribal Development Agencies, scores of self-help groups and NGOS’ are participating in the fair.

From food to handicrafts, song and dance, the festival is showcasing Orissa’s centuries old tribal culture.

” We don’t get a chance to see their culture here, things like their food. We can’t see what their food is like because we don’t get it here. So that’s why we have this festival,” said Bijay Ranjan Singh Bariha, Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribe Welfare Minister.

Over the years, the event has become popular. This year, the Adivasi Mela will run for two weeks as opposed to five days.

“It’s very nice, it’s just what we expected, to see a lot of people from the tribes here,” said Loder, a European tourist.
The Adivasi Mela ends on February 6. (ANI)

Bengal’s HIV orphans get help from Italy

BARUIPUR - Eleven-year-old Pathik brims with confidence as he sits in his adopted home Anandaghar. The days when the HIV-positive child and his mother — seriously ill with AIDS — were forced to live in a cow shed are a distant nightmare now.

The boy who was HIV infected from birth and his mother had been ostracised by other relatives and neighbours in their home in West Bengal’s Bankura district. Now his mother is dead but Pathik (name changed) has a new life with 38 other youngsters in Anandaghar (Happy Home), all of whom had once faced similar hostility.

Located in this headquarters of South 24 Parganas district, Anandaghar houses orphans who got the HIV infection from their parents and were ostracised by society. The children here have been brought from nine districts of West Bengal.

Two of them are seriously ill with full-blown AIDS.

“I brought Pathik and his mother from their village in 2006. Her mother died in a hospital 17 months later,” says Organisation for Friends Energies and Resources (OFFER) secretary Kallol Ghosh, who runs Anandaghar.

“I am very happy here. I play with my friends,” says Pathik, busy savouring a chocolate.

Wednesday was a very special day for these children, as the municipality of Naples in Italy gifted Anandaghar with an ambulance.

“Apart from the two already affected with AIDS, the others will also contract AIDS, tomorrow, day after or years later. So, they have to be given regular medical treatment as risks of opportunistic infection is very high in HIV positive patients due to low immunity levels. The ambulance will be of great help,” said Ghosh.

OFFER now wants to increase the number of inmates to 100 by the end of 2010-11. “We know in our state there are 117 such orphans who are infected with HIV from birth from their mother. So our target is to cover as many of them as we can,” Ghosh said.

Italian Consul General Silvio Pentrella was present when the ambulance was handed over.

“It’s not a question of boundaries, of countries, of colour. It’s a solidarity and we are happy at the work being done at OFFER and hope that together with Ame Sampre and other organisations they will continue the good work,” he said on the occasion.

“When we started the organisation 13 years ago it was in a small room. I am still very emotional about the first day. And as we see now 13 years down the line we have 39AIDS children at Anandaghar,” said famous Italian filmmaker Sergio Scapeginni who is also official spokesperson of Italian NGO Ame Sampre, which is associated with the project since its inception.

Out of the 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS the world over, 2.2 million are children under 15. According to a Unicef report, India has an estimated 220,000 children below 15 who are HIV positive.

HIV-infected mothers run the risk of transmitting the virus to their infants during pregnancy, labour, delivery or breast-feeding. Mother-to-child-transmission (MTCT) causes more than 90 percent of HIV infections worldwide in infants and children.

Imran Khan received Rs 40 mn from Musharraf: PPP leader

Lahore, Jan 28 (PTI) A leader of the ruling Pakistan People's Party has alleged that cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan received Rs 40 million from former military ruler Pervez Musharraf during the 2002 referendum that validated the general's regime, a charge denied by his party.

"Khan charged Rs 40 million from Gen Musharraf as he was at the forefront of moves to establish the dictator's rule," said Raja Riaz, a top PPP leader and Senior Minister in the coalition government in Pakistan's Punjab province.

Riaz said Khan, who heads the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf party, had got his relatives employed in the Pakistan Cricket Board during Musharraf's regime.

"Musharraf obliged Khan for his support," he said.

Khan always talks about democracy but was in fact conspiring against it, Riaz alleged.

Khan's party denied Riaz's allegations and said it would take him to court over the issue.

Now even Shirdi temple to charge for 'VIP darshan'

Mumbai, Jan 28 (PTI) The Shirdi Saibaba temple authorities have decided to bar devotees with VIP passes during weekdays and charge them for performing various prayers at the shrine over the weekends and during festivals.

"A meeting of the Shirdi Sansthan trustees was held here yesterday in which it was decided to implement the scheme on a trial basis for three months," a trustee told PTI.

The decision would only affect those visiting on VIP passes, he said.

Around 50,000 devotees visit the temple daily. The number doubles during the weekend.

The meeting, attended by state Law and Judiciary Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil and Sansthan chief Jayant Sasane, proposed Rs 500 for 'kakad arti' and Rs 250 for 'dhoop arti,' the trustee said.

Russian rape: Cops conducting raids to nab culprit

Panaji, Jan 28 (PTI) Goa Police is conducting searches to track down the accused involved in the rape of a nine-year-old Russian girl.

The girl was raped on Arambol beach on January 26.

He said efforts are on to draw a precise sketch of the main accused with the help of the girl's mother. "There is a language difficulty, and also sketches drawn earlier and the details provided by the mother about the accused looks are not matching."

Russian rape case: Goa govt sends its report to Centre

Panaji, Jan 28 (PTI) Goa government has sent a detailed report to the Centre in connection with the rape of a nine-year-old Russian girl at Arambol beach here.

"I had received a call from Union Tourism minister Kumari Selja who asked for a detailed report. The Chief Secretary, who was directed to compile it, has sent the report yesterday," Chief minister Digamber Kamat told PTI today.

Condemning the rape Selja had called it as "extremely sad and shameful" and demanded immediate action, noting the incident was contrary to the 'Atithi Devo Bhava' (Guest is God) campaign and gives a bad name to the country.

The minor was allegedly raped on January 26 by an unidentified person on the beach in North Goa. Police sources said the medical examination of the girl had confirmed rape.

Central Government calls for meeting on talks with ULFA

New Delhi, Jan 28 (ANI): The Central Government has called for a high-level meeting next month to discuss strategy for possible talks with the rebel United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA).

Home Ministry officials said Union Home Minister P Chidambaram would chair the meeting. Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and other top officials of the administration will also attend the meeting.

This step by the Centre is significant, as the entire top ULFA leadership apart from its military wing chief Paresh Barua is currently in jail.

The Centre has made it clear that it would hold talks with the ULFA only if they abjure violence and give up the demand for a separate State.

Jailed ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa has however, made it clear that there can be no talks with ''handcuffs on''.

Rajkhowa said, "We have to be free. We want peace, but not in this way."

Barua said:"We are ready for a dialogue provided sovereignty for Assam is discussed."

The Centre had earlier in 2005 held three rounds of discussions with an ULFA-appointed peace panel, the People''s Consultative Group (PCG) with people drawn from the civil society to thrash out ways for talks to be resumed between ULFA and the government.

The ULFA-appointed PCG had also discussed the issue with Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.

But the efforts of the PCG had failed after the Centre refuted its certain demands that included talks on the issue of sovereignty. (ANI)
