  • 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.

    LOK SABHA ___ SYNOPSIS OF DEBATES (Proceedings other than Questions & Answers) ______ Wednesday, February 5, 2020 / Magha 16, 1941 (Saka) ______ STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER THE PRIME MINISTER (SHRI NARENDRA MODI): Today, I have specially come before all of you to share information pertaining to a very important and historic subject. This subject is as close to the heart of crores of our fellow countrymen as it is to me. And I feel honoured to speak about this. This subject is connected to Shri Ram Janm Bhoomi and is about construction of a magnificent temple of Bhagwan Shri Ram at his birth place at Ayodhya. On 9th November 2019, I was in Punjab for dedicating the Kartarpur Sahib corridor to the nation on the occasion of the 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanakdev ji. It was in this divine environment that I come to know about the historical judgment of Highest Court of the country on the subject of Ram Janm Bhoomi. In this judgement, the Hon'ble Supreme Court decided that the Inner and Outer Courtyard of the disputed land in Ram Janm Bhoomi belongs to Bhagwan Shri Ram Lalla Virajman. The Hon'ble Supreme Court, in their judgment, had also stated that the Central Government and the State Government, in consultation with each other, will allot 5 acres of land to the Sunni Central Waqf Board. Today, I am very happy to share with this august House and the entire country that the Union Cabinet in its meeting held this morning has taken important decisions on this issue, keeping in mind the directions of the Supreme Court.

  • Delimitation Commission for Jammu & Kashmir
    20 June, 2021 Delimitation Commission for Jammu & Kashmir What is the news? The Delimitation Commission for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has kicked off the exercise by writing to all 20 District Commissioners (DC), seeking basic demographic, topographic information as well as the local administration’s impressions of political aspirations of the district. The Commission was set up in February-March 2020 to delineate Assembly and parliamentary constituencies, and was given a year’s extension last March. It is only after the completion of the delimitation exercise that elections for the Assembly can be held, although District Development Council (DDC) polls were held last year on earlier patterns and based on the 2011 Census. The then State of Jammu and Kashmir was kept out of the delimitation exercise when it was carried out in the rest of country (between 2002-2008), as delimitation of Assembly seats was under the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution and its separate Representation of People Act. After becoming a Union Territory, the Delimitation Commission was constituted and asked to mark out Assembly and Parliament seats. The Commission, headed by Justice (retired) Ranjana Prakash Desai and comprising two other members, had called for a meeting in February 2021, where only two of its five associate members — Union Minister Jitendra Singh and Jugal Kishore Singh, MP — attended. National Conference leaders Dr. Farooq Abdullah and Hasnain Masoodi, MP, and Mohammad Akbar Lone did not attend. The renewed push by the Centre for talks has raised hopes not only of early Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir but also of an eventual restoration of statehood, which was taken away under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, a reading down of Article 370 of the Constitution.

  • 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.
