  • AAP Rebel Leader Prashant Bhushan Has Written Wrote an Open Letter To
    AAP rebel leader Prashant Bhushan has written wrote an open letter to AAP Supremo, Arvind Kejriwal comparing Kejriwal with Russian leader Stalin in allegged dictatorial attitude . Bhushan said: "God and history will not forgive what you are doing to the party." The full text of his letter to Kejriwal is as under : Dear Arvind, In the National Council meeting held on the March 28, in your Convenor's address, instead of giving a review of the party's situation and the path ahead, you chose to launch an attack on Yogendra Ji, my father and me, making all sorts of false and inflammatory allegations against us. Your speech incited several Delhi MLAs- (who were invited despite not being members of the NC) to scream that we were "gaddars" who should be thrown out, and behave in the manner of hooligans. Such was the ferocity of the mob of these MLAs and others as they rushed towards my father, that he felt that he may not get out of this alive. You did not even allow us to respond to your allegations. Immediately after your speech, in the middle of shouting and screaming by MLAs and others, Manish read out a resolution for our removal (without any chair, and without anyone allowing him to do so). He then proceeded to call for vote by show of hands without allowing any discussion, forcing us to walk out of what had clearly become a farce. It was farcical for many reasons: Many members of the NC had not been invited or allowed to attend; more than half the people inside the meeting hall were non-members, which included MLAs, district and State convenors of four states, volunteers and bouncers; there was no orderly conduct of the proceedings for many reasons, including the hooliganism displayed by many people there; no independent videography was allowed, the party's Lokpal was not allowed, etc.

  • MAHA Irrigation Scam
    South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers & People Nov 2012 Maharashtra Irrigation scam & the Rs 150 000 crore question: How much will we ever get to know? Open Letter Based on the issues raised in this article, an ‘Open Letter for Urgent Probe into Maharashtra Irrigation Scam by an Independent Credible Agency’ endorsed by over 27 mass based and research organisations and eminent individuals was sent by SANDRP to the Prime Minister, Chief Minister and Governor of Maharashtra, Union Ministries of Water Resources & Environment and Forests, Planning Commission, Central Water Commission, CAG, CVC and National Advisory Committee (headed by Smt Sonia Gandhi), requesting urgent intervention to institute a probe by an Independent, Credible commission. The letter has been endorsed by National Alliance of People's Movements, India Against Corruption, Shramik Mukti Sangathana, Shramik Adivasi Sangathana, Samajwadi Jan Parishad, Yamuna Jiye Abhiyaan, SOPPECOM, among others. Medha Patkar, Shri Ramaswamy Iyer, former secretary, Union Water Resources Ministry, whistle blower Anjali Damania, Prof Bharat Jhunjhunwala, Prof Pradeep Purandare and Prof Brij Gopal are some of the persons who have endorsed the letter. We got some response from the office of the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and CAG. Subsequent to our letter, news reports showed that the Prime Ministers’ office, Union Water Resources Ministry and Central Water Commission has started investigations in some of these issues. What is unfolding over the last few months on the issue of corruption in irrigation projects in Maharashtra is unprecedented in many senses. However, one thing clearly stands out: Never before in the history of independent India has the links between politicians, contractors, engineers and bureaucrats been exposed more clearly.

  • Life and Death in the Times Of
    2020 i COMMONWEALTH HUMAN RIGHTS INITIATIVE The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organisation headquartered in New Delhi, India, with offices in London, United Kingdom, and Accra, Ghana. Since 1987, it has advocated, engaged and mobilised around human rights issues in Commonwealth countries. Its specialisations in the areas of Access to Justice (ATJ) and Access to Information (ATI) are widely known. The ATJ programme has focussed on Police and Prison Reforms, to reduce arbitrariness and ensure transparency while holding duty bearers to accountability. CHRI looks at policy interventions, including legal remedies, building civil society coalitions and engaging with stakeholders. The ATI programme looks at Right to Information (RTI) LIFE AND DEATH IN THE TIME OF RTI and Freedom of Information laws across geographies, provides specialised advice, sheds light on challenging issues and processes for widespread use of transparency laws and develops capacity. We review pressures on media and CASE STUDIES FROM MAHARASHTRA media rights while a focus on Small States seeks to bring civil society voices to bear on the UN Human Rights Council and the Commonwealth Secretariat. A new area of work is SDG 8.7 whose advocacy, research and mobilisation across geographies is built on tackling contemporary forms of slavery. CHRI has special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council and is accredited to the Commonwealth Secretariat. Recognised for its expertise by governments, oversight bodies and civil society, CHRI is registered as a society in India, a limited charity in London and an NGO in Ghana. Although the Commonwealth, an association of 54 nations, provided member countries the basis of shared an investigative report by common laws, there was little specific focus on human rights issues in member countries.

  • Analytical Study of Political Debates on Regional Television Channels: a Special Reference to the Short-Lived BJP Government in Maharashtra
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 Analytical Study of Political Debates on regional television channels: A special reference to the short-lived BJP Government in Maharashtra Sagar Gokhale Department of Mass Communication (Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth) Email ID: [email protected], Guide: Dr. Geetali Tilak ABSTRACT A high-voltage political drama was witnessed in Maharashtra in November 2019. In a sudden and unexpected move Devendra Fadanvis, and Ajit Pawar had taken the oath as the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister respectively on 23rd November 2019. This event not only caused anger amongst Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress but also raised many legal, constitutional and moral issues. Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) was claiming that they had the support of 156 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs). However, the opposition parties had prepared a fool- proof plan so that not a single MLA will defect to join BJP. The situation was changing every hour and news channels were conducting discussions and breaking stories all the time. Sometimes, an official stand taken by political parties was officially available to the television reporters, but many times channels had to depend on their own sources. News channels were busy in getting the latest and the highest possible accurate information, keeping viewers updated and putting forth various sides of this drama. Around this time, Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress filed a writ petition against the Maharashtra Governor, Mr. Bhagat Singh Koshyari’s decision allowing Mr. Fadanvis to form government. Next 80 hours were full of arguments and counterarguments, allegations and counter- allegations, strategy and counterstrategy.

Ukraine's interim government has accused Russia of having declared war, and has ordered the mobilisation of its armed forces. Russian President Vladimir Putin had so far defied calls from the West to pull back his troops and said that Russia has a right to protect the interests of Russian-speakers in Ukraine. The US has called on Russia to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity. Meanwhile, the US has also been considering measures to expel Russia from the group of G8 nations and also to freeze Russian assets, cancel trade talks and a visa ban on its officials. 03 Govt. issues new medical guidelines, 2 finger test outlawed Mar India > Rape Victim Treatment The Union Health Ministry has issued new guidelines for treating rape victims and has asked all the hospitals to set up a designated room for forensic and medical examination of victims.
