Bill in Parliament any moment to try Jamaat for Bangladesh war crimes

Bangladesh is amending law to put Jamaat-e-Islami on trial for suspected war crimes, Law Minister Anisul Huq has said.

But the bill will be tabled in Parliament when the government wants, he told the House on Monday.

Jamaat came out strongly in support of a united and non-secular Pakistan in 1971.

The High Court in 2013 cancelled the party's registration with the Election Commission.

Law ministry officials say Jamaat can be outlawed if it is tried and convicted of war crimes.

But at present, the International Crimes Tribunal Act only allows trying individuals on war crimes charges.

Most of the war crimes convicts are from Jamaat.

Responding to a question, Minister Huq said: "The amendment draft of International Crimes Tribunal Act to outlaw the Jamaat and its fronts is with the Cabinet.

"The bill will be tabled in Parliament with Cabinet's approval whenever the government wants."

He later explained to bdnews24.com that the government was amending the ICT Act to bring Jamaat to justice and that the draft was awaiting Cabinet approval.

The two international crimes tribunals earlier observed how Jamaat had substantially contributed to the formation of auxiliary forces during the Liberation War to help the Pakistan Army.

The tribunals dubbed it a 'criminal organisation' that played 'a foul role' during the war and helped commit genocide that was 'worse after World War II'.

But two top leaders of the party even served as ministers during a coalition government with the BNP.

Bangladesh Tarikat Federation had moved the court to cancel Jamaat's registration as its charter was in conflict with the Constitution.

Its MP Syed Nazibul Bashar Maizvandary asked Minister Huq when the case would be resolved and if the government planned to outlaw Jamaat and its front organisations.

Huq said the case was pending with the Appellate Division. "The plaintiff (Tarikat) will have to file an application if they want to do anything quickly," he added.

The court finally scrapped Jamaat's registration on Aug 1, 2013 after a final hearing on the Tarikat petition.

Jamaat sought a stay order on the verdict from the chamber judge of the Appellate Division but that, too, was rejected.

The party came under the crimes tribunal's scanner soon after.

After months of investigation, the tribunal's investigating agency slapped seven charges of 'war crimes' against Jamaat last year.

Trade in Services Agreement

WikiLeaks releases today 17 secret documents from the ongoing TISA (Trade In Services Agreement) negotiations which cover the United States, the European Union and 23 other countries including Turkey, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Pakistan, Taiwan & Israel -- which together comprise two-thirds of global GDP. "Services" now account for nearly 80 per cent of the US and EU economies and even in developing countries like Pakistan account for 53 per cent of the economy. While the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has become well known in recent months in the United States, the TISA is the larger component of the strategic TPP-TISA-TTIP 'T-treaty trinity'. All parts of the trinity notably exclude the 'BRICS' countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Protest held at Maharashtra Sadan, Delhi in solidarity with

the on - going Awaas Haq Satyagraha at Mandala, Mumbai

 

New Delhi, 3rd June 2015Various organizations held a demonstration at the Maharashtra Sadan, Delhi in solidarity with the slum dwellers who are holding Awaas Haq Satyagraha at Mandala, Mumbai since 26th May 2015. Thousands of slum dwellers, who had been displaced over ten years ago in 2004-05, came together to reclaim their land and rebuild their houses, in a historic struggle for right to housing and basic facilities in Mumbai. Ghar Bachao Ghar Banao Andolan launched the Awaas Haq Satyagraha (Struggle for Right to Housing) in Mandala, supported by basti dwellers from across the city and at least 5 thousand slum dwellers continued the satyagraha for a week.  Mandala is the first of its kind. It's time for the city's most exploited to assert their idenity, and claim their share from this city. Awaas Haq Satyagraha, is a historic Housing Rights movement where 5000 people who were displaced in 2004 – 05 from their homes in a demolition drive have returned and occupied 55 acres of prime land and declared mutiny.

 

Even after 7 days of satyagraha, the government did not indulge in a dialogue with the protestors. Since the past 3 days people at Mandala have been sitting on a relay fast to pressurize the government to have a dialogue with them and it is only now that the collector has given an appointment to meet with the peopletomorrow. The government till now has been mostly indifferent to the demands of the Satyagrahis.

 

Everybody is frustrated by the false claims of the government, from farmers to industrial and construction labour, but the people of Mandala have set an example of resistance unmatched until now in the urban mindscape. People have taken a leave from their daily jobs, they have come back from their native land of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, left wedding unattended just to be a part of the Awaas Haq Satyagraha. Satyagrahis have demarcated the occupied land and mapped it out to start building their own homes in clear defiance to the tall claims of Rajiv Awas Yojana. A community school has been announced. Already people are badgering the administration to provide toilets and safe drinking water in the occupied land. Earlier, hawkers and vendors who had gathered in the protest grounds selling snacks and drinks were hounded by the police, but the community protected the rights of these small traders by facing the police. A relay fast has now begun and Satyagrahi after Satyagrahi is continuing the non-stop fast until their demands are met. The administration is silent. The city is not used to the voice of people living in slums. But the voices are getting louder and louder. Political factions and progressive citizens are coming forward in support of the movement. It's important for the Mandala movement to succeed, to secure the rights it is fighting for. It is important because the patience of crores of people living precariously in this city is running out. It is important for the future of the city which can no more be built on the foundations of inequality. It is important if one wants the city to retain its soul. 

 

In Delhi, the situation of slum demolition and displacement is similar and a struggle for getting rights over urban space and resources continues. Few organizations like  National Alliance of People's Movements, Delhi Solidarity Group, Jhuggi Jhopdi Ekta Manch, Yuva, Housing and Land Rights Network, Kisan Sangharsh Samiti, Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace (CNDP), Dalit Arthik Adhikar Andolan, Sangharsh Vahini and Khudai Khidmatgar expressed their solidarity with the people of Mandala. A memorandum was submitted to the Resident Commissioner asking the Chief Minister of Maharashtra to have a dialogue with the 'Satyagrahis' instead of being negligent towards them.

بنگلہ دیش کے جلاوطن اپوزیشن رہنماء طارق الرحمان نے حسینہ واجدکی حکومت پرریاستی دہشتگردی کاالزام عائد کیاہے۔انہوں نے بنگلہ دیش کے تجارتی پارٹنراوراقوام متحدہ سے ١٦کروڑکی آبادی والے جنوبی ایشیاکے اس ملک میں حقیقی جمہوریت کی بحالی کیلئے دباؤ ڈالنے کامطالبہ کیا۔طارق رحمان نے ان خیالات کااظہارفنانشل ٹائمزسے گفتگوکرتے ہوئے کیا۔گزشتہ ہفتے دارلحکومت ڈھاکہ میں بی این پی کی سربراہ اورطارق رحمان کی والدہ خالدہ ضیاء کے قافلے پرحکمران جماعت عوامی لیگ کے وفادار ڈنڈابردار غنڈوں نے دھاوابول دیاجس کے نتیجے میں ١٥/افرادزخمی ہوگئے جبکہ  ٦گاڑیوں کونقصان پہنچا۔ طارق رحمان نے مزیدکہاکہ یہ لوگ ریاستی دہشتگردی کی سرپرستی کر رہے ہیں جس سے ریاستی دہشتگردی کوفروغ مل رہاہے۔واضح رہے کہ طارق رحمان نے برطانیہ میں سیاسی پناہ لی ہوئی ہے۔
انہوں نے بنگلہ دیش کے تجارتی شراکت داروں سے حسینہ واجدپرسفارتی اور معاشی دباؤ ڈالنے کامطالبہ کیا۔ مثلاً پولیس کیلئے امداداورآلات کی برآمد بندکی جائے۔انہوں نے اقوام متحدہ پر زوردیا کہ بین الاقوامی امن آپشنزسے جن میں بنگلہ دیش کانمایاںکردارہے،سیکورٹی فورسز کے بدنام ارکان  کے جاری غیرقانونی ظلم وستم کی وجہ سے ان پرپابندی عائد کی جائے۔ طارق رحمان نے انسداددہشتگردی اورجرائم کی خاص یونٹ ریپڈایکشن بٹالین کی طرف اشارہ کرتے ہوئے کہاکہ ان میں بہت سے لوگ اپنی ہی ملک میں سیاسی کارکنوں کواغواء اورقتل میں ملوث ہیں،یہ دوسرے ملک میں کیاامن قائم کریںگے ۔بنگلہ دیش میں انسانی حقوق کی تنظیم ادھیکارکے مطابق ٢٠٠٩ء سے ریپڈ ایکشن بٹالین اوردیگرگروپس کے ہاتھوں٢٠٠سے زائد افرادلاپتہ ہوچکے ہیں۔بنگلہ دیش ایک مسلم اکثریتی ملک ہے جس کی ١٩٧١ء میں پاکستان سے علیحدہ ہونے کے بعداب تک تشددکی ایک تاریخ رہی ہے۔حسینہ واجدکے والدشیخ مجیب الرحمان کے قتل کے بعدطارق رحمان کے والد ضیاء الرحمان نے فوجی آمرکے طورپرملک میں حکومت کی لیکن چھ سال بعدانہیں بھی ہلاک کردیاگیا۔
شیخ حسینہ عوامی لیگ کی اورخالدہ ضیاء بی این پی کی سربراہ ہیں ۔دونوں کولڑاکابیگمات کے نام سے پکاراجاتاہے۔ دونوں نے وزیراعظم کی حیثیت سے اقتدارکامزہ چکھاہے لیکن کئی بنگلہ دیشیوں کاکہنا ہے کہ بودی جمہوریت جس نے کسی نہ کسی طرح گزشتہ دودہائیاں نکال لی ہیں اب شدید خطرے سے دوچارہے کیونکہ حسینہ واجدنے اپنی حکومت کے سامنے کسی بھی اپوزیشن کوبرداشت کرنے سے انکارکر دیا ہے۔بی این پی نے پچھلے انتخابات کابائیکاٹ کیاتھاجن میں حسینہ واجدکوفتح حاصل ہوئی،جنوری میں متنازع الیکشن کوایک سال ہونے کے بعدسے حالات بہت خراب ہوگئے ہیں ۔ بی این پی کے رہنماء مسلسل ہڑتالوں اورٹرانسپورٹ بندرکھنے کی کال دے رہے ہیں جبکہ حکومت اپنے مخالفین کوظلم وستم اورمیڈیا کو کریک ڈاؤن کانشانہ بنارہی ہے۔چندماہ سے کم عرصے میں سوسے زیادہ لوگ مارے جا چکے ہیں جن میں بعض لوگ بسوں کو آگ لگانے کے واقعات میں ہلاک ہوئے جس کاالزام بی این پی کے اتحادیوں پرلگادیا، نیز ملک کی اہم ترین گارمنٹ برآمدات کی تجارت ٹھپ پڑی ہے۔بی این پی کی زیرقیادت ٢جماعتی اپوزیشن اتحادنے خالدہ ضیاء کے قافلے پرحملے کے بعدایک اورہڑتال کی اپیل کی۔ طارق رحمان نے بتایاکہ میرے ٥٠ہزارسے زائد کارکن جیلوں میں بندہیں۔ گزشتہ چھ سال سے ان میں سے ١٥٠٠ کارکن پولیس نے یاریپڈایکشن والوں نے ماردیے۔ انہوں نے کرپشن اورعدلیہ کے غلط استعمال کے متعلق انسانی حقوق کی تنظیموں کی شکایات کاحوالہ دیتے ہوئے بتایاکہ شیخ حسینہ واجد کے مخالفین کے خلاف مختلف الزامات میں ٦لاکھ ٤٠ہزارجھوٹے مقدمات ہیں۔
طارق نے بتایاکہ شیخ حسینہ واجدکی ایک آمرکی طرح حکومت کررہی ہیں اورجمہوری اپوزیشن جماعتوں کوکچل رہی ہیں۔حکومت کے اس ہتھکنڈے کی وجہ سے ان کے مخالفین زیر زمین چلے جائیں گے اورحفاظت اسلام جیسی نئی بنیادپرست تنظیمیں تقویت پکڑیں گی۔انہوں نے بتایاکہ شفاف الیکشن کرانے کاتقاضہ سارے مسئلے کی اصل وجہ ہے کہ حالات نہ صرف بنگلہ دیش کے لیے خطرناک ہیں بلکہ آہستہ آہستہ اورتدریجاًپوری جمہوری دنیاکے لیے خطرہ بنتے جارہے ہیں۔طارق نے کہااگرحسینہ واجد نے ردّعمل ظاہرنہ کیاتودیگر ممالک کوسخت اقدامات کرنا چاہئیں،ان پردباؤ ڈالنا چاہئے۔خود طارق رحمان پراپنی والدہ کی حکومت میں کرپشن کرنے کاالزام لگایاجاتاہے اورانہیں لندن میں اپنے مرکزسے سیاسی تشددپراکسانے کاذمہ دارٹھہرایا جا رہاہے،عوامی لیگ کی حکومت نے انہیں انٹرپول کے ذریعے اشتہاری ملزم قرار دیا ہواہے۔ان پر ٢٠٠٤ء میں بنگلہ دیش میں عوامی لیگ کی ریلی پردستی بم حملے میں ملوث ہونے کاالزام ہے جس میں شیخ حسینہ بچ گئی تھیں مگر ٢٤/ افرادہلاک ہوگئے تھے۔ طارق رحمان نے فنانشل تائمزکے وکٹرمالٹ کو اس حوالے سے بتایا کہ یہ اوردوسرے تمام الزامات سادہ زبان میں حقارت کے ساتھ مستردکیے جانے کے لائق ہیں اصلاً میرے خلاف سیاسی مقدمات قائم کیے گئے ہیں۔
جب مشہورٹی وی چینل الجزیرہ نے طارق رحمان سے اپنے وطن کے حالات پراستفسارکیاتوان کاکہناتھاکہ بنگلہ دیش سیاسی بحران سے دوچارہے اوریہ بحران وقت گزرنے کے ساتھ ساتھ قابوسے باہرہوتاجارہاہے ۔ حزبِ مخالف کی قائدسابق وزیراعظم اورمیری ماں خالدہ ضیاء پراس ہفتے تین الگ الگ مواقع پرمسلح جتھوں نے حملہ کیا۔گزشتہ پیرکے روز ان پرفائرنگ کی گئی ،ان کی کارپرحملہ کیاگیااورکارکی کھڑکیاں توڑدی گئیں۔ یہ صورت حال نہ صرف بنگلہ دیش کی گندی سیاست کی مثال ہے بلکہ اب توملک عملی طور پرواحد پارٹی کی حکومت کی طرف بڑھ رہاہے ۔خالدہ ضیاء اورمیں ، دونوں موجودہ حکومت کی طرف سے اس قسم کے الزامات کاسامنا کر رہے ہیں جن کا مقصدیہ ہے کہ تمام حزبِ اختلاف کاصفایا کر دیاجائے ۔موجودہ وزیراعظم شیخ حسینہ پرجب سے ملک میں ایک انتہائی ناقص اوردھاندلی شدہ انتخابات کرانے کاالزام عائدکیاگیاہے۔ہم ایک ایسے موڑتک پہنچ چکے ہیں جہاں مرکزی مخالف جماعت کی قائدمقدمے بازی کاسامناکررہی ہیں اورحزبِ مخالف کے دیگرتمام قائدین قید میں ہیں یاسزاؤں کاسامناکررہے ہیں۔اگریہ صورتحال جاری رہی توبنگلہ دیش میں بدترین آمریت کا دور طویل ترہو جائے گا۔
بنگلہ دیش میں سیاست ہمیشہ ہی سے پیچیدہ اورمشکل رہی ہے ۔آزادی کے بعدسے ٢٠برس تک ہمیں فوجی انقلاب کی ١٥کوششوں کاسامنا کرناپڑاہے لیکن ١٩٩١ء میں جمہوریت بحال ہونے کے بعدصرف دوبرس کے وقفے کے علاوہ ہم نے ضیاء کی بی این پی اورحسینہ کی عوامی لیگ کوانتخابات کے ذریعے سے حکومت میں آتے دیکھا ہے۔ بہرحال جب سے عوامی لیگ ٢٠٠٨ء میں اقتدارمیں آئی ہے ملک کا استحکام سکڑتاجارہاہے اوردنیاکے دوسرے بڑے مسلمان ملک میں سیاست ایک دفعہ پھر خطرے میں دکھائی دے رہی ہے۔ اس وقت عوامی لیگ ،مغربی ممالک کے ان خدشات سے فائدہ اٹھارہی ہے کہ یہ انتہاپسندی کے سامنے رکاوٹ ہے اوریہ ملک ایک ایسے خطے میں امن کا جزیرہ ہے جہاں ہرطرف عدم استحکام پھیلاہواہے۔بہرحال شیخ حسینہ سیکولرجمہوریت کی چیمپئن نہیں ہیں ،درحقیقت اپنے مفادپرستانہ اور خودغرضانہ کوششوںکے ذریعے سے کہ ہرصورت میں اقتدارمیں رہا جائے،وہ ملک کوخطرات کی طرف لے جارہی ہیں۔
انہوں نے چاہاکہ بنگلہ دیش کے پرچم سے خودکوڈھانپ لیں،اپنی جماعت سے وفاداری کوہی اپنے ملک سے وفاداری سمجھ لیں،ان کی ملک سے وفاداری کااس امرسے اندازہ کیا جا سکتاہے کہ انہوں نے امن کے نوبل انعام یافتہ محمدیونس کوملک سے نکال باہرکیااورآئین میں اس ترمیم کوختم کردیاجس کے مطابق انتخابات کے انتظام کے لیے نگران حکومت کی گنجائش موجود تھی۔اس وقت میڈیابھی حکومتی نشانے پر ہے اورصحافی دھڑادھڑگرفتار کیے جارہے ہیں۔گزشتہ ماہ بی این پی کے ایک سابق وزیرصلاح الدین جواغواء کر لیا گیااور اس کے بعدآج تک ان کوئی پتہ نہیں چلاکہ وہ کہاں اورکس حال میں ہیں۔اب ہیومن رائٹس واچ کی جانب سے بدنام زمانہ ''ریپڈایکشن بیٹالک''کے متعلق اعتراضات اٹھائے جارہے ہیں جس پر ایک ہزارسے زائدمخالفین افراد کوہلاک کرنے کاالزام عائدکیاجارہاہے ۔

संघ की दो-मुंही बाते और बाबासाहब और उनके अनुयायि ..

= डी. एस. पाटील, नागपुर.

करोडों वंचित लोगों की जिंदगी मे क्रांति लाने का श्रेय भारतरत्न, संविधान के शिल्पि डॉ. बाबासाहब आंबेडकर को ही जाता है. उनकि 125 वे जयंती वर्ष को धुमधाम से मनाने का पहले कांग्रेस ने ऐलान किया तो संघ के कान खडे हो गए और कुछ ही दिनों मे संघी मोदी सरकारी घोषणा हो गई की सरकार भी इसे मनाएंगी.

बात तो अच्छि है, और यह सच है कि किसी भी महापुरुष को किसी समुदाय, राजनैतिक पार्टी या सरकार की जागीर नही माना जा सकता. वे जो चाहे उनके लिए महान ही है.

पर रा.स्वं.संघ तो कभी बाबासाहाब को मानता ही नही था. इसकि वजह भी है. आरएसएस चार्तुवर्ण की वकालत करता है तो बाबासाहाब समानता का. ऐसे मे संघ और बाबासाहाब कभी भी एक साथ नही चल सकते है, यह निर्विवाद सत्य है. फिर संघ की क्या मजबूरी है कि वह जयंती वर्ष मनाने के लिए अपनी सरकार को कह रही है.

फेसबुक के कई बुद्धिजीवी मित्र इस बात से भलिभांती परिचित है. फिर भी जो नही है, उन्हे यह बात बताना आवश्यक हो जाता है.

सवाल है सत्ता का. कुछ ही महिनों के बाद बिहार मे चुनाव होने वाले है. और एक साल बीत जाने के बाद भी मोदी सरकार "अच्छे दिन"लाने मे सफल नही हो पाई है. ऐसे मे सामान्य लोगों से वोट पाना हो तो उनके आराध्यों को अपनाना शुरु कर देना होता है. वंचितो के मसिहा डॉ. आंबेडकर को भी इसी रणनिति के तहत संघ अपना रहा है. अब यह आंबेडकरी जनता को समझना चाहिए कि आज तक कांग्रेस ने जिस तरह उन्हे अपनाने का विरोधाभास पैदा किया और सत्ता पर कायम रहते रही है, ठिक उसी तरह संघी भारतीय जनता पार्टी भी कर रही है. एक बार सत्ता मे आने की देर है, फिर वही फासीवादी चाले चली जाएंगी.

हाल ही मे आई.आई.टी.- मद्रास के छात्रों द्वारा चलाए जाने वाले "आंबेडकर-पेरियार स्टडी सर्कल"को प्रतिबंधित कर दिया गया. यह संघ, भाजपा और मोदी का सही रुप है. मिडिया ने जब तक भाजपा और संघ का साथ दिया तब तक मिडिया को खुब सराहा गया. पर जैसे ही मोदी सरकार बहुमत से सत्ता मे आई, इसी मिडिया को तुरंत ही आईना दिखा दिया गया. सिधे शब्दो मे कहा जाए तो धमकाया गया कि क्यों न मिडिया पर सरकारी अंकुश लगा दिया जाए ?

ऐसा ही कुछ एन.जी.ओ. के साथ भी हुआ. चुंकि एन.जी.ओ. सरकारी नियंत्रण से बाहर होते है और वे अपने कार्य स्वतंत्र रुप से करते है. उनके द्वारा संघ, भारतीय जनता पार्टी तथा मोदी के विरोध मे कोई सच्चाई, शिकायत, रिपोर्ट आदि ना होने पाए, इसके लिए उन्हे भी धमकाया गया.

अब सरकार तो माय-बाप होती है. यानी की सर्वेसर्वा. ऐसे मे किसी तिसलावाड को झुंठे आरोपो मे दो-चार साल जेल की हवा खिलाना कोई बडी बात नही होती है. यही बात मिडिया के लिए भी लागु है.

"आंबेडकर-पेरियार स्टडी सर्कल"भी एक स्वायत्त संगठन है. फिर ऐसा क्या हुआ कि एका-एक ही इस पर सरकार द्वारा बंदी लाई गई. एक तरफ बाबासाहब का जयंती वर्ष मनाने की घोषणा करने वाली संघी-मोदी सरकार दुसरी तरफ उनके अनुयायियों पर ऐसा अत्याचार क्यों कर रही है? वह भी एक मानव संसाधन विकास मंत्रालय को मिली गुमनाम शिकायत के बदले में.

इस सर्कल के खिलाफ शिकायत यह थी कि उसने आई.आई.टी.-एम के दिशानिर्देशों का उल्लंघन किया है. इस झटके को नरम करने के लिए यह भी जोडा गया कि यह प्रतिबंध अस्थाई है और सर्कल को छात्रों की प्रतिनिधि संस्था के सामने अपनी बात रखने का मौका दिया जाएगा तथा उसका निर्णय अंतिम होगा.

कोई भी इसके संदेश को अनसुना नही कर सकता है. जयंती वर्ष मनाने का आवरण पहनने वाली संघी सरकार बाबासाहब को मानने वाले युवाओं को सजा दे रही है. क्योंकि वे अपने विचारों और आदर्शों के प्रति सच्चे है. यह विरोधाभास संघ की कार्यशैली की विशिष्टता है. गुमनाम शिकायत को औजार बनाकर अपने राजनीतिक उद्देश्य को प्राप्त करने के लिए यह बिल्कुल सटीक है और फुसफुसाहट के माध्यम से दुष्प्रचार फैलाने की संघ की शैली का प्रतीक है.

आई.आई.टी., मद्रास कोई साधारण संस्थान नही है. 1959 मे इसे जर्मनी के सहयोग से स्थापित किया गया था. यह सुपर कम्प्युटिंग के सबसे महत्वपूर्ण केंद्रो मे से एक है. सुचना प्राद्योगिकी मे व्यापार मे इसके छात्र दुनिया मे सबसे सामने होते है. इसे अकादमिक उत्कृष्टता के लिए जाना जाता है और इसकि अकादमिक स्वंतंत्रता इसके रचनात्मक कार्यों की जड मे है. न कि संघ जैसी विध्वंसक कार्यो मे. इसके अनेक स्टडी सर्कल है और वे न तो संस्थान द्वारा वित्तपोषित है, न ही उन्हे किसी तरह का कोई अनुदान ही मिलता है.

फिर वे कौनसे दिशा-निर्देश है, जिसका उन्होंने उल्लंघन किया है? क्या यह कि उन्होंने अपने लेटरहेड और फेसबुक पेज पर "आईआईटी मद्रास"लिखने के लिए अनुमति हासिल नही की थी? यदि आईआईटी मद्रास के छात्र अपने स्टडी सर्कल के लिए उसके नाम का उपयोग नही करेंगे तो उनके पास और क्या विकल्प है?

प्रतिबंध का वास्तविक उद्देश्य राजनीतिक है. समस्या संस्थान के नाम के उपयोग मे नही है. सरकार और संघ के लिए समस्या उन विचारों मे निहित है जिनका यह आंबेडकर-पेरियार स्टडी सर्कल प्रचार-प्रसार कर रहे है. अगर यही स्टडी सर्कल यदि संघ या मोदी सरकार की प्रशंसा करता तो निश्चितही कोई भी गुमनाम शिकायत नही आती और न ही दिशा-निर्देशों के उल्लंघन का कोई सवाल ही उठता. फिर प्रतिबंध का तो कोई काम ही नही था.

भारतीय संविधान द्वारा पोषित वैचारिक स्वतंत्रता के अधिकार का यह खुला उल्लंघन है, जो कर भी कोई और नही रहा है तो खुद सरकार ही कर रही है. आंबेडकर की कल्पनाओं के भारत और संघ के भारत मे बहुत विषमता है फिर भी यह कहा जाना कि आंबेडकर का 125 वा जयंती वर्ष हम धुमधाम से मनाएंगे, बेशर्मि की हद है.

इतने से संघ, भारतीय जनता पार्टी और मोदी साहाब की कथनी और करनी की बात बहुतों के समझ मे नही आई हो, पर जानने वाले तो जान ही गए है.

Why ban only Maggi? Experts say other brands are just as unsafe

My Question:Why do we create Icons who feed us with Poison?

Palash Biswas
I have written about the icon economics and the Phenomenon of cheers in the Genocide carnival so many times.Friends should have bright memory,I hope.

No El Nino,not even the bloody global trends ,SENSEX economy without bottom tanks despite rigid RBI Governor obliging the dictates of Hindutva Business friendly hegemony without any logic as the basic problems of the economy have not to be addressed.

AUR DIKHAO!
AUR DIKHAO JALWA!
It is all about the economy of Free Market Economy making in America and reduced to become made in PPP Gujarati .
SENSEX tanks.Dices thrown into storms.Nestle shares tumbling.
It would be rather amusing what steps  the RBI privatized regime governed by SEBI would take to stop the brand war!
I have written only yesterday that I do not bother least about the on going brand war which is bound to be more intense day by day.
Banning a particular product would not make us healthy as the diabetic nation is inflicted with cancer and live saving medicines seem to be radioactive.

Everything that we eat happens to be poison.

Everything that we drink is nothing but poison.

As we have no roots whatsoever in the Nature and have incidentally ceased to be human.

We have become cloned biometric digital citizens and chose to eat and drink endorsed and branded commodities glittering like gold. 

Whose fault is this?
We have lost our sight and  live with transplanted vision which makes all bloody cheerleaders the experts of food,drinks and life style whom we do follow blindly.
Everyone knew the drinks made of Pesticide.Have we stopped consuming it?Where is that hue and cry against Cola?
Entire Nation is mad about noodles.
What Next?The product would be banned in some states and some states would endorse it with clean chit.
The ads would be withdrawn as the stocks for the time being and later a review would settle the case.
Meanwhile another rival brand would take over the helm of the chemistry of death.
Then the controversial product would be relaunched with yet another brand name!

Another Jingle would make us mad equally and we would die for those Icons who treats us no better than street dogs and we would be very very glad to be run over by their cars!

We,the black untouchable coolie people of India, love to be in romance with any fair thing and the fairness campaign has every right to kill us.We kill our women at home and we love them on screen and the byproduct is this poison.

We opted for the Amrit Manthan and the greatest emerging market is producing the HALAHAL.

The Nector is always reserved for the gods only and all those headless genre of Rahus and Ketus would be also treated as god,Demonized people that we are remain predestined to eat and drink Poison only with Green Revolution killing the GREEN in this MONSANTO times.

What the experts say,please see in First Post!
Why ban only Maggi? Experts say other brands are just as unsafe 

Noted consumer activist and founder of the Healthy You Foundation, Bejon Misra told Firstpost, "Some years ago, MSG was found in the samples of Maggi in Jamshedpur, but the packets carried no advisory. A case was registered against the manufacturer. In our country no one is scared of law; cases are registered, offenders get bails and they move on. Had there been strict adherence to safety laws and regulatory authorities followed a strict quality check, such incidents wouldn't happen. Many ready-to-eat products use MSG. The regulatory authorities should check all other ready-to-eat products available in the market besides Maggi, on whether there's MSG or any other additives beyond the permissible limits."

Ashim, Sanyal, COO, Consumer Voice, said, "Why is it restricted to a single brand? The government should get other products checked and ensure that the companies must follow national standards laid down by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Food Safety Standards. However, it would be a challenge for the government to prove the contamination of lead and excess use of MSG, because the MNCs generally adhere to rigorous policies and testing protocols."

Besides the ethical aspect of the issue, the consumer activists are also not thoroughly convinced with the technical aspects of the tests.

"I'm skeptical about the issue. No one is talking about the technical aspect. The quality of the tests conducted is paramount. The central agency --Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) should have immediately got the testing of Maggi samples done by the NABL accredited labs and its verdict would have been final. Several testing laboratories at state-levels fail to conform to standards. The equipment used by these labs is often not upgraded and not properly calibrated. This leads to variation in results," Sanyal added.

Meanwhile a Nestle India source said, "We had meetings with the Delhi government and we've apprised them with the situation."

But, the Delhi government is apparently not happy with Nestle's explanation.

"We're not happy with Nestle's explanation. More samples have been collected across Delhi and have been sent for testing. Once we get the results, we'll take action as per rules," Delhi's Health Minister Satyendra Kumar Jain said in a press conference.

Even though Maggi continues to dominate the instant noodles market, the entry of multiple brands and the increasing aggression of existing brands have affected Maggi's market share. According to market research reports, Maggi's share across urban market slipped consistently since December 2009 on an all-India basis.

"Due to various players in the market, who too manufacture instant noodles, there has been a decline in Maggi's share in the urban market. As a result, Nestle has begun targeting Tier-III towns and rural India. We get to see new ads promoting Maggi in the rural sector with new strategy to enhance its sales," said Indrajit Deb, an ad and brand professional.

In midst of the growing controversy, the share of Nestle India Ltd has plunged 10%, causing serious concern for the MNC.

Mark Zuckerberg wants everyone to read the 14th-century Islamic book 'The Muqaddimah'

the muqaddimah


Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 2015 New Year's resolution was to read an important book every two weeks and discuss it with the Facebook community.

Zuckerberg's book club, A Year of Books, has focused on big ideas that influence society and business. His selections so far have been mostly contemporary, but for his 11th pick he's chosen "The Muqaddimah," written in 1377 by the Islamic historian Ibn Khaldun.

"The Muqaddimah," which translates to "The Introduction," is an early attempt to strip away biases of historical records and find universal elements in the progression of humanity.

Khaldun's revolutionary scientific approach to history has established him as one of the foundational thinkers of modern sociology and historiography.

The influential 20th-century British historian Arnold J. Toynbee described "The Muqaddimah" as "a philosophy of history, which is undoubtedly the greatest work of its kind that has ever yet been created by any mind in any time or place," according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Zuckerberg explains his latest book-club pick on his personal Facebook page:

It's a history of the world written by an intellectual who lived in the 1300s. It focuses on how society and culture flow, including the creation of cities, politics, commerce and science.

While much of what was believed then is now disproven after 700 more years of progress, it's still very interesting to see what was understood at this time and the overall worldview when it's all considered together.

Most of Zuckerberg's book club selections have explored issues through a sociological lens, so it makes sense he is now reading a book that helped create the field.

BJP Makes "Akhand Bharat" Part of Indian School Textbooks

BJP Makes "Akhand Bharat" Part of Indian School Textbooks 

"Students, how would you go about drawing a map of India? Do you know that countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Burma are part of undivided India? These countries are part of Akhand Bharat." Tejomay Bharat (Shining India)  by Dinanath Batra. 
 
Tejomay India (Shining India) is just one of six of Batra's books made "must read" by education ministry for students at all of 42,000 primary and secondary schools in the State of Gujarat, the home of India's Hindu Nationalist prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi.


Batra, the man who oversaw revisions in Indian history textbooks for the country's National Council of Education, Research and Training (NCERT), recently forced Penguin India to recall and destroy all copies of "The Hindus: An Alternative History"  by University of Chicago scholar Wendy Doniger published by Penguin Books about 5 years ago. Explaining his opposition to Doniger's book, Batra told Time magazine: "The entire book is objectionable, but yes, that is one of our main objections. She is insulting our gods and goddesses and religious leaders and texts and even our freedom fighters. I don't have any objection to sex and neither does our religion, as long as it's within the parameters of religion."

Batra shares something in common with Nigeria's Boko Haram for his vehement opposition to western education. He calls western-educated Indians "children of Marx and Macaulay" who are "defaming Hinduism", according to India's First Post. He also feels that there is no need for English language education and instead advocates the teaching of Sanskrit to students along with a an emphasis on the mother tongue ("with 20 percent for Sanskrit") with Hindi as a second language.

Hindu nationalists have been battling scholars over history for decades. They tried to do in California what their Indian counterparts have already done in India. They attempted to change California history textbooks in 2006, when they argued unsuccessfully to include their claims like the indigenous origins of Aryans and tried to deny the terrible impact on hundreds of millions of Indians of the caste system and misogyny prevalent in Hindu texts and Aryan culture. Hundreds of history scholars from US and South Asia helped defeat this attempt by Hindu American Foundation (HAF) and its allies in the United States.

India's textbooks suffer from many problems ranging from deliberate distortions to outright incompetence. The errors range from misspelling "Suez" Canal as "Sewage" Canal and referring to Africans as N---ers" to false stories of India's Muslim rulers' atrocities on Hindus

With regard to anti-Muslim propaganda in Indian textbooks, Dr. D.N. Pande, author of "History in the Service of Imperialism", summarized his conclusions in a lecture to members of the Rajya Sabha in 1977 when he said: "Thus under a definite policy the Indian history textbooks were so falsified and distorted as to give an impression that the medieval period of Indian history was full of atrocities committed by Muslim rulers on their Hindu subjects and the Hindus had to suffer terrible indignities under Islamic rule."

Retired Justice Katju of the Indian Supreme Court has said that Dr. Pande came upon the truth about Tipu Sultan in 1928 while verifying a contention — made in a history textbook authored by Dr. Har Prashad Shastri, the then head of the Sanskrit Department in Calcutta University — that during Tipu's rule 3,000 Brahmins had committed suicide to escape conversion to Islam. The only authentication Dr. Shastri could provide was that the reference was contained in the Mysore Gazetteer. But the Gazetteer contained no such reference, according to a report in The Hindu newspaper. 

Further research by Dr. Pande showed not only that Tipu paid annual grants to 156 temples, but that he enjoyed cordial relations with the Shankaracharya of Sringeri Math to whom he had addressed at least 30 letters. Dr. Shastri's book, which was in use at the time in high schools across India, was later de-prescribed. But the unsubstantiated allegation continued to masquerade as a fact in history books written later. 

The Hindutva project to rewrite South Asian history appears to be gaining new momentum with the rise of Narendra Modi. If allowed to proceed unchecked, this revisionism could prove to be very destabilizing and dangerous for India, Pakistan and the entire region.

DISRUPTION IS GOOD FOR RECONSTRUCTION BUT WE NEED TO PRESSURE

DISRUPTION IS GOOD FOR RECONSTRUCTION BUT WE NEED TO PRESSURE
Tej Kumar Karki
Normally disruption brings change.

The political disruption of 2007, 2015, 2036, 2046, 2062 brought structural change of institution: Democracy (07), democratic election (2015), referendum, Monarchy-democracy (2046), Republican democracy (2062)

In each of these disruptions, political leaders and parties claimed that this will bring peace and prosperity.

Did these disruptions bring peace and prosperity?

No. These disruptions made Nepal one of the most corrupt and poor nation on earth.

Do you think, this new constitution will change the corrupt behavior of political leaders and parties?

Constitution is not a medicine for corrupt political behaviors and mismanagement?

There are countries doing excellent job without written constitution--i think it is UK

My guess is---even after the constitution: the same corrupt practices, dirty horse trading for political power grabbing, and racial and regional factionalism (we will not allow that group to come and live in our territory: racist, segregationist, separatists) will continue. There are no basis not to believe so.

If the same dirty practice is going to continue, then why we wasting our time for constitution building? Why we making constitution as excuse for doing nothing? 
 
Nepal's experience shows that only by changing structure and form of democracy or constitution-------will not bring the real democracy (peace, prosperity and social justice)---Rather that may lead to dark age of corruption, chaos and mismanagement---as is the case in Nepal   

Disruption (political and earthquake disruptions) opens the opportunity for reconstruction but that requires strongly committed political leaders and civil society---------work day and night to utilize this opportunity for reconstruction. 

If politicians and civil societies are not committed---even the new constitution would do nothing--they will do dirty horse trading as usual breeding instability.

But the reality is, in Nepal only (or mostly) corrupt or less committed politicians and parties are available. We cannot import good ones from other country.

So by whatever means we should----pressure, evoke, educate, expose these available leaders---to utilize disruption for reconstruction

How much we evoke--that matters----these leaders have to depend upon the external environment for their decisions (behaviors). Those environments are civil society, citizens, media, academics, business community, and various associations.

How much we voice that matters: Not only write in this list-serve. Talk to your neighbors, friends, relatives, professional colleagues, people living in poor housing and slums. Try to go and meet all the leaders who are silent observers in this email list and talk to them, that matters. Talk to CA members that matters. Go and educate college students, give them lectures, talk to other media people, use social media. Go and participate in meetings, seminars and government forum and raise your voice for action.

When all these opinion merge, it will erupt as mass opinion and that will pressure the available leaders to act responsibly.

We should also do out part. I am planning to do this when I will be back home. But those of you who are at home in the motherland, use all whatever means and ways we have. Let us not get frustrated if it is not working, it will take time--doing something more will have some chances for change than doing too little or nothing.

And next time, come up with the findings in media and in this list-serve and tell: how our external pressure building strategy to politicians worked? What further improvements we need to do? 

Final points:

DON'T ASSUME THAT CHANGE IN POLITICAL STRUCTURE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BRING PEACE AND PROSPERITY

PRESSURE POLITICIANS TO USE THIS DISRUPTION AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RECONSTRUCTION (both political as well as earthquake damage)

WE NEED TO DO OUR PART----ARE WE READY TO USE ALL OUR RESOURCES TO BUILD EXTERNAL PRESSURE?

Customs officers scared of pursuing enquiries against Adani Group
June 02

India Samvad Bureau

New Delhi : Has the Directorate of Revenue Intellligence (DRI) ceased all enquiries into Adani global, the overseas company owned by corporate giant Gautam Bhai Adani ?  Or the Customs and Revenue Intelligence officials are scared of Adani-Modi closeness and therefore have developed cold feet in pursuing such enquiries and intelligence gathering.

Sources said that DRI's overseas intelligent unit COIN (Custom Overseas Intelligence Network) has been gathering information on dealings of Adani Global FZE located at Jabel Ali, Dubai. The COIN had passed several crucial inputs relating to evasion of Customs duty to DRI by overseas companies of Adani,  but of late such enquiries has been ceased.

The ADG of  DRI in Mumbai,  PK Dass  has also been silenced by the Customs top authorities on the matter. ADG had unearthed a huge racket of over and under invoicing relating to import of machines by Adani group. On the basis of ADG DRI's report the CBI also registered an enquiry into Adani Group. However when Narendra Modi took over as Prime Minister of India, the customs were asked to go slow on probe against matters related to Adani, sources said.

Sources said on the tip off from COIN UAE, the agency was investigating gross overvaluation of import of equipment and machinery by various entities of Adani Group from a UAE-based intermediary. Sources within the agencies revealed that more than Rs 2,000 crore had been "siphoned off ". "An amount of Rs 2,322.75 crore has been siphoned off abroad by Adani Group by resorting to over-valuation of imports in the name of various group firms," a report of the DRI says.

The companies being investigated for over-valuation of imports are PMC Projects (India), Adani Enterprises Limited, Adani Renewable Energy, Adani Hazira Port Pvt Ltd, Adani International Container Terminal Pvt Ltd and Adani Vizag Coal Terminal Pvt ltd,"says the report.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence  summoned Vinod Shantilal Adani as well two Dubai-based individuals, Mitesh Dani and Jatin Shah.

The Adani Group and its firms have not declared the correct value of imports and a show-cause notice is being issued under Sections 111 and 113 of the Customs Act, 1962. All top officials, including the Adanis themselves, were to be questioned by the DRI.

On the other hand a report earlier published in business newspaper says that on this matterr  Adani Group had declined to respond. However a person close to the business house claimed it was the victim of a "witch-hunt" being conducted by the Congress during UPA rule against Adani who was perceived close to Modi. "We are facing extraordinary harassment. Old cases are being opened up and notices are being sent on a daily basis. In the DRI matter, no formal notice has come so far," said the person close to the group. In November 2013, the Central Board of Excise & Customs (CBEC) had reminded the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, part of the commerce ministry, to cancel import duty benefits issued to the Adani Group in 2004.

These benefits — essentially the right to import at concessional rates — were issued under the Target Plus Scheme, an export incentive which has since been discontinued. The person close to the Adani Group referred to CBEC's reminder as an example of old cases being revived.A number of DRI officials strongly defended their investigation, claiming to have unearthed substantial evidence of what they referred to as "money-laundering" by way of over-valuation of imports.

CHENNAI: Distinguished American mathematicianDavid Mumford has expressed "deep shock" over the IIT-Madras's derecognition of student groupAmbedkar Periyar Study Circle.

In a letter to IIT-M director Bhaskar Ramamurthi, which was leaked to the media, Mumford said, "I believe campuses must allow open discussion of divisive issues even when it offends some people so that all its aspects are out in the open. Today's youth are tomorrow's leaders and one wants them to think deeply about the direction to which we are headed." Mumford, president of the International Mathematical Union and a former Harvard University professor, is also a Fields Medal winner (top mathematics prize). 

The study circle was reportedly derecognized following an anonymous complaint that it was spreading hatred against PM Narendra Modi, which triggered protests. 

"I have strong ideas about the importance of free speech and especially the importance of allowing students to discuss vital and difficult issues that confront society today ," he said, adding, "I have also become aware, during my nearly 50 years of visiting India, of the deep social struggles that quite possibly are coming to a head as India takes a central role in the world."

Acknowledging that it was difficult to understand complexities of local disputes as a foreigner, Mumford said he writes as a long term friend of many Indian academicians. Mumford added that said he saw many similarities between India's Dalit problems and the African-American problems that have rocked the US since the beginning. "For this reason, I take Dr Ambedkar as one of my heroes," he said.

Freedom threatened: we must resist 

FELANI

সীমান্তে ঝুলছে না ফেলানি; ঝুলছে বাংলাদেশ


The BJP has blood of Muslims in its hands, in hundreds of riots, of which the riot in Gujarat is known world-wide. People should not make a fool of themselves by any assurance of convenience, or false promises, from them. One should take a principled stand in politics, rather than get swayed by the twists and turns of international or regional situations, which we should observe from that principled position and, if needed, vary our tactics without compromising the strategy. Our freedom and democracy cannot be ensured by those, who want to subdue and destroy us.

The BJP is much more a hegemonist than the Congress and its allies are. Isha Khan, MBI Munshi, myself, and others circulated emails on both the Nehru Doctrine of 'Akhand Bharat' and Modi's enhancement on it.

And the map of Modi's  'Akhand Bharat':

Hindu Nationalists' "Akhand Bharat" includes Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Burma

We must develop resistance for our freedom, democracy, justice and harmonious development. Popular outburst would need organised resistance, when, since 1/11 2007, the fascist govts, as puppets of India, have taken the path of armed suppression of any opposition, both inside and outside these govts, with massacres (BDR, JI, Hefazat), indiscriminate killings, mass internment and court cases, torture, tyranny, extortion, and other means.
