INTRODUCTION OF MINISTERS THE PRIME MINISTER (DR. MANMOHAN SINGH): Hon. Madam Speaker, with your permission, I wish to introduce to you and, through you, to this august House my colleagues who have recently been inducted in the Council of Ministers. Cabinet Ministers 1. Shri Praful Patel - Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises 2. Shri Shriprakash Jaiswal - Minister of Coal 3. Shri Salman Khursheed - Minister of Water Resources with additional charge of the Office of the Minister of Minority Affairs Minister of State (Independent Charge) 4. Shri Beni Prasad Verma - Minister of State of the Ministry of Steel Ministers of State 5. Shri Ashwani Kumar - Minister of State in the Ministries of Planning, Parliamentary Affairs, Science and Technology, and Earth Sciences 6. Shri K.C. Venugopal - Minister of State in the Ministry of Power 22.02.2011 10 11.02 hrs. STATEMENT BY PRIME MINISTER Constitution of Joint Parliamentary Committee on the allocation of 2G Spectrum THE PRIME MINISTER (DR. MANMOHAN SINGH): Madam Speaker, On account of the controversy relating to the allocation of 2G spectrum, the precious Winter Session of Parliament was lost. Our country can ill-afford a situation where Parliament is paralyzed and important legislative business is not allowed to be considered. In paralyzing Parliament, I believe, we all do disservice to those who have elected us. Madam, our Government is committed to root out corruption and has acted expeditiously and transparently in this direction. A CBI investigation into the allocation of 2G spectrum is being supervised by the Supreme Court. Also, the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament is seized of the matter and the Government is fully cooperating with it. We also have the report of the Independent Inquiry Committee set up under the Chairmanship of Justice Shivraj Patil, which is in the public domain. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has also acted with expedition. Madam, our Government believed that as all effective steps were being taken, we might have been able to persuade the Opposition not to insist on a JPC. We could not succeed in spite of our sincere efforts. We can ill-afford a situation where Parliament is not allowed to function during the crucial Budget Session. It is in these special circumstances that our Government agrees to the setting up of a Joint Parliamentary Committee. Madam, we are a functioning democracy and must strive to resolve our differences in a spirit of accommodation and collaboration, not confrontation. This, I hope, will renew our confidence in India's forward march. I am, therefore, requesting the hon. Speaker to proceed with the formation of a Joint Parliamentary Committee. A formal motion in this regard will be moved soon. 22.02.2011 11 SHRI GURUDAS DASGUPTA (GHATAL): Better late than never. gÉÉÒàÉiÉÉÒ ºÉÖ−ÉàÉÉ º´É®ÉVÉ (ÉÊ´ÉÉÊn¶ÉÉ): +ÉvªÉFÉ àÉcÉänªÉÉ, àÉé |ÉvÉÉxÉàÉÆjÉÉÒ VÉÉÒ BÉEä |ÉÉÊiÉ +ÉÉ£ÉÉ® |ÉBÉE] BÉE®xÉä BÉEä ÉÊãÉA JɽÉÒ cÖ<Ç cÚÆ* àÉé |ÉvÉÉxÉàÉÆjÉÉÒ VÉÉÒ BÉEÉä vÉxªÉ´ÉÉn näxÉÉ SÉÉciÉÉÒ cÚÆ ÉÊBÉE =xcÉåxÉä +ÉÉ{ɺÉä +ÉÉOÉc +ÉÉè® +ÉxÉÖ®ÉävÉ ÉÊBÉEªÉÉ cè ÉÊBÉE +ÉÉ{É VÉä{ÉÉÒºÉÉÒ BÉEÉ MÉ~xÉ BÉE®å* +ÉvªÉFÉ àÉcÉänªÉÉ, ªÉc ºÉkÉÉ {ÉFÉ ªÉÉ |ÉÉÊiÉ{ÉFÉ BÉEÉÒ VɪÉ-{É®ÉVÉªÉ BÉEÉ |ɶxÉ xÉcÉÓ cè, ªÉc ãÉÉäBÉEiÉÆjÉ BÉEÉÒ ÉÊ´ÉVÉªÉ cè* £ÉÉ®iÉÉÒªÉ ãÉÉäBÉEiÉÆjÉ BÉEÉÒ ªÉc JÉڤɺÉÚ®iÉÉÒ cè ÉÊBÉE càÉ VÉÉÊ]ãÉ ºÉä VÉÉÊ]ãÉ {ÉÉÊ®ºlÉÉÊiÉ àÉå £ÉÉÒ ÉÊàÉãÉ ¤Éè~BÉE® ®ÉºiÉÉ ÉÊxÉBÉEÉãÉ ãÉäiÉä cé* BÉE£ÉÉÒ ®ÉºiÉÉ VÉãnÉÒ ÉÊxÉBÉEãÉiÉÉ cè, BÉE£ÉÉÒ nä®ÉÒ ºÉä* <ºÉ ¤ÉÉ® nä®ÉÒ ºÉä cãÉ ÉÊxÉBÉEãÉÉ, ãÉäÉÊBÉExÉ <ºÉ cãÉ BÉEÉä fÚÆfxÉä àÉå |ÉvÉÉxÉàÉÆjÉÉÒ VÉÉÒ BÉEä +ÉãÉÉ´ÉÉ VÉÉä +ÉÉ{ÉBÉEÉÒ º´ÉªÉÆ BÉEÉÒ £ÉÚÉÊàÉBÉEÉ ®cÉÒ, xÉäiÉÉ ºÉnxÉ BÉEÉÒ £ÉÚÉÊàÉBÉEÉ ®cÉÒ +ÉÉè® ºÉƺÉnÉÒªÉ BÉEɪÉÇàÉÆjÉÉÒ VÉÉÒ BÉEÉÒ VÉÉä £ÉÚÉÊàÉBÉEÉ ®cÉÒ, =ºÉ ºÉ¤ÉBÉEÉ xÉÉäÉÊ]ºÉ ãÉäiÉä cÖA +ÉÉè® =xÉBÉEä |ÉÉÊiÉ £ÉÉÒ vÉxªÉ´ÉÉn BÉE®iÉä cÖA, àÉé +É{ÉxÉä ºÉÉlÉÉÒ ºÉÉƺÉnÉå ºÉä ªÉc BÉEcxÉÉ SÉÉcÚÆMÉÉÒ ÉÊBÉE +É¤É VÉÉÒiÉ-cÉ® BÉEÉÒ ¤ÉcºÉ UÉä½BÉE®, <ºÉ ãÉÉäBÉEiÉÆjÉ BÉEÉÒ àÉcÉxÉ ¶ÉÉÎBÉDiÉ BÉEä +ÉÉMÉä xÉiÉàɺiÉBÉE cÉäiÉä cÖA, càÉ ºÉnxÉ BÉEÉÒ BÉEɪÉÇ´ÉÉcÉÒ |ÉÉ®Æ£É BÉE®å, ªÉcÉÒ =ÉÊSÉiÉ cÉäMÉÉ* +ÉvªÉFÉ àÉcÉänªÉÉ : ¤ÉɺÉÖnä´É +ÉÉSÉɪÉÇ VÉÉÒ* +ÉÉ{É ¤ÉcÖiÉ ºÉÆFÉä{É àÉå ¤ÉÉäÉÊãÉAMÉÉ* SHRI BASU DEB ACHARIA (BANKURA): Madam, Speaker, I have given a notice for suspension of Question Hour MADAM SPEAKER: No, we are not considering it, now.

  • The Dignity of Santana Mondal
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 The Dignity of Santana Mondal VIJAY PRASHAD Vol. 49, Issue No. 20, 17 May, 2014 Vijay Prashad ([email protected]) is the Edward Said Chair at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon. Santana Mondal, a dalit woman supporter of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), was attacked by Trinamool Congress men for defying their diktat and exercising her franchise. This incident illustrates the nature of the large-scale violence which has marred the 2014 Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal. Serious allegations of booth capturing and voter intimidation have been levelled against the ruling TMC. Santana Mondal, a 35 year old woman, belongs to the Arambagh Lok Sabha parliamentary constituency in Hooghly district, West Bengal. She lives in Naskarpur with her two daughters and her sister Laxmima. The sisters work as agricultural labourers. Mondal and Laxmima are supporters of the Communist Party of India-Marxist [CPI(M)], whose candidate Sakti Mohan Malik is a sitting Member of Parliament (MP). Before voting took place in the Arambagh constituency on 30 April, political activists from the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) had reportedly threatened everyone in the area against voting for the Left Front, of which the CPI(M) is an integral part. Mondal ignored the threats. Her nephew Pradip also disregarded the intimidation and became a polling agent for the CPI(M) at one of the booths. After voting had taken place, three political activists of the TMC visited Mondal’s home. They wanted her nephew Pradip but could not find him there. On 6 May, two days later, the men returned.

    > Title: Rise in prices of Essential Commodities. DR. RAM CHANDRA DOME (BOLPUR): Madam Speaker, through you, I want to draw the attention of the Government, and of the House also, to the most urgent matter of public importance, that is, the unchecked and uncontrolled price rise of essential commodities. The prices of essential commodities, especially of food articles, are sky-rocketing. That has been going unchecked for several years. Presently, food inflation has gone to its peak levels again, but hundreds and thousands of the aam aadmi -- in terms of the Government -- are suffering. Their misery is countless as regards the price rise as the rise in fuel price was added to the plight by raising the price of petroleum products several times and decontrolling price of petrol in the market. This also further added to the suffering of the people. Presently, even the prices of vegetables and fruits have gone up. The growers are suffering and the consumers are suffering, but the hoarders and big businessmen are making countless money out of this situation. There is no food security arrangement. The Government had assured in this House that they will bring forward the food security law to protect the suffering and downtrodden people, but for the last two years we do not see any comprehensive measure being taken on the part of the Government to protect the suffering people, that is, those who cannot afford to purchase food articles. MADAM SPEAKER: Thank you. Please conclude now. DR. RAM CHANDRA DOME : The per capita food consumption is coming down. This is the reality.
