He asked: “If Orhan Gazi was afraid, would Bursa have been established? If Fatih was afraid, would İstanbul have been?” and said his party would go on with its democratization push without fear. “You can’t build a country on fear. You can’t build a future on fear. You can’t build democracy on fear,” he said. The prime minister said they saw their fight for democracy not as a problem of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party), but a problem of the country. Erdoğan said that in the past, the Turkish nation has seen as many glories as times when the nation and the country have been in danger. Stating that the integrity and unity of the Turkish nation have been tested many times throughout history, he said the Turkish nation has always succeeded in moving forward and burying past traumas. Even though the Turkish nation has been able to look optimistically into the future, some are using past grievances as an instrument of fear, Erdoğan said. “There are those who are making efforts to create a new society of fear. When history is not enough, they create virtual fears and imaginary threats.” He said in the AK Party’s seven years in power, he has seen this many times. “No matter what long‐standing issue we tried to tackle, they put up obstacles in front of us. We said we want to get in the European Union, they said our national identity is in danger. We said Cyprus, they said ‘our national interests are under threat’. We said we want zero problems with our neighbors, they said [Turkey’s foreign policy] axis is shifting. We said Armenia, they said Sevres. … And now, we say the process of national unity and brotherhood [referring to the democratic initiative], they say it is treason, they say it is separation. The same politics, the same attitude and I am sorry to say this but they are displaying the same cowardly approach.” He also talked about the recent discussions on alleged illegal wiretappings of the offices of judiciary members. “Those who are trying to make this look like it is linked to the government are acting on ill will, they are trying to influence the public and create confusion,” he said. He said the wiretappings had nothing to do with the government. “And neither could this [link] ever happen.” He said the wiretapping scandal was now in hands of the judiciary and would be sorted out in the legal process. He said, “We see wiretapping without legal permission as disrespect for a person, whoever that person might be.” ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Self‐criticism in DTP; silence of the hawks ‐ 6 ‐ Monday, 23 November 2009 09:06 Todays Zaman ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Concerns and intimidation implying that Turkey is being divided in the aftermath of the announcement of the democratic opening have been replaced by discussions over the Ergenekon investigation. The leaders of the political parties had the opportunity to make a reasonable assessment following the completion of deliberations at parliamentary sessions. There is to be no change in the position of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and the Republican People’s Party (CHP), which view the democratic initiative as a project of destruction. This position and the solidarity between these two political parties are so obvious that the MHP even sent a message to the CHP supporting its Dersim statement. The opposition bloc seems eager to develop its policy on the perceived destructive nature of the process. Because they have no useful material from the initial steps of the initiative, the opposition will most likely rely on the developments that took place during the return to Turkey of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants on Oct. 19. On the other hand, the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and the Democratic Society Party (DTP) are clarifying their next steps. It should be noted that they are not acting as a unified bloc; quite the contrary, they are reminding each other of their responsibilities with respect to the initiative. The DTP has asked the government to take further steps, whereas the AK Party has called on the DTP figures not to make any mistakes so as to ensure that the initiative succeeds. The AK Party wants to keep the project alive and is also attempting to minimize the impact of the opposition bloc on public opinion. A leading party figure told me in a friendly chat of the difficult position of the DTP. They have asked for an acceleration of the process without any further waste of time.

  • Mla Ratings 2019
    A comprehensive & objective rating of the Elected Representatives’ performance MLA RATINGS 2019 MUMBAI REPORT CARD Founded in 1998, the PRAJA Foundation is a non-partisan voluntary organisation which empowers the citizen to participate in governance by providing knowledge and enlisting people’s participation. PRAJA aims to provide ways in which the citizen can get politically active and involved beyond the ballot box, thus promoting transparency and accountability. Concerned about the lack of awareness and apathy of the local government among citizens, and hence the disinterest in its functioning, PRAJA seeks change. PRAJA strives to create awareness about the elected representatives and their constituencies. It aims to encourage the citizen to raise his/ her voice and influence the policy and working of the elected representative. This will eventually lead to efforts being directed by the elected representatives towards the specified causes of public interest. The PRAJA Foundation also strives to revive the waning spirit of Mumbai City, and increase the interaction between the citizens and the government. To facilitate this, PRAJA has created www.praja.org, a website where the citizen can not only discuss the issues that their constituencies face, but can also get in touch with their elected representatives directly. The website has been equipped with information such as: the issues faced by the ward, the elected representatives, the responses received and a discussion board, thus allowing an informed interaction between the citizens of the area. PRAJA’s goals are: empowering the citizens, elected representatives & government with facts and creating instruments of change to improve the quality of life of the citizens of India.

  • China's Past, China's Future Energy, Food, Environment
    China’s Past, China’s Future China has a population of 1.3 billion people, which puts strain on her natural resources. This volume, by one of the leading scholars on the earth’s biosphere, is the result of a lifetime of study on China, and provides the fullest account yet of the environmental challenges that China faces. The author examines China’s energy resources, their uses, impacts and prospects, from the 1970s oil crisis to the present day, before analyzing the key question of how China can best produce enough food to feed its enormous population. In answering this question the entire food chain – the environmental setting, post-harvest losses, food processing, access to food and actual nutritional requirements – is examined, as well as the most effective methods of agricultural management. The final chapters focus upon the dramatic cost to the country’s environment caused by China’s rapid industrialization. The widespread environ- mental problems discussed include: • water and air pollution • water shortage • soil erosion • deforestation • desertification • loss of biodiversity In conclusion, Smil argues that the decline of the Chinese ecosystem and environ- mental pollution has cost China about 10 per cent of her annual GDP. This book provides the best available synthesis on the environmental conse- quences of China’s economic reform program, and will prove essential reading to scholars with an interest in China and the environment. Vaclav Smil is Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Environment, University of Manitoba, Canada. He is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities on the biosphere and China’s environment.

  • Press Release White Pearls Hotels and Investments Private Limited
    Press Release White Pearls Hotels and Investments Private Limited April 03, 2018 Rating Facilities Amount (Rs. crore) Rating1 Rating Action CARE B+; Stable Long term Bank Facilities 15.00 Reaffirmed (Single B Plus; Outlook: Stable) 15.00 Total Facilities (Rupees Fifteen crore only) Details of instruments/facilities in Annexure I Detailed Rationale & Key Rating Drivers The rating assigned to the bank facilities of White Pearls Hotels and Investments Private Limited (WHIPL) continues to be constrained by its modest scale of operations, leveraged capital structure and weak debt protection metrics. The rating further continues to be constrained by investment in loss-making subsidiaries and its presence in the highly competitive and fragmented industry with demand linkage from the cyclical real estate sector. The rating continues to derive strength from experience and resourcefulness of the promoters in hospitality and real estate leasing business, WHIPL’s long track record and location advantage of its hotel and real estate properties and healthy profit margins. Going forward, the company’s ability to timely receive the lease rentals and maintain occupancy in both hospitality and lease rental business amidst increasing competition along with any further investment in the loss making subsidiaries are the key rating sensitivities. Detailed description of the key rating drivers Key Rating Weaknesses Modest scale of operations: The scale of operations WHIPL stood modest as indicated by its total operating income of Rs.12.58 crore and gross cash accruals of Rs.3.07 crore. Further the net-worth also stood at Rs.17.13 crore as on March 31, 2017. This thereby has limited financial flexibility of the company.

  • A Constructive Critique of India's Fast-Track Courts
    Peterson: Speeding up Sexual Assault Trials: A Constructive Critique of Ind Article Speeding Up Sexual Assault Trials: A Constructive Critique of India's Fast-Track Courts Vandana Petersont India has a strong tradition of judicial activism for social change and comprehensive laws designed to combat sexual violence against women. Yet such crime has significantly escalated. In December 2012, a widely publicized assault occurred in Delhi. The victim's death triggered a frantic response from many quarters including legal scholars, religious leaders, global media, and government officials. The central government undertook a comprehensive review of existing mechanisms to deter future crimes against women. Its findings led to the creation or designation of "fast- track" courts to adjudicatecases involving sexual crime against women. This Article posits that designating "special" courts to hear cases of sexual crime can significantly deter such crime, and implicitly address the social norms which typically motivate such crime. However, the fast-track courts that have been established by the central and state governments of India, with minimal logistical or legislative backing, fall short of making any lasting or normative progress. To that end, this Article suggests best practices from specialized courts in other jurisdictions including specialized domestic violence courts in the United States. Parts I and II describe the contemporary challenges faced by Indian society in the area of sexual violence against women. Parts III and IV describe the history and evolution of fast-track courts and identify areas for improvement. Part V suggests incorporating elements borrowed from t The author is a graduate of Smith College and the University of Michigan Law School.
