Rajya Sabha Synopsis of Debate RAJYA SABHA _________ ∗SYNOPSIS OF DEBATE _________ (Proceedings other than Questions and Answers) _________ Wednesday, July 8, 2009/ Asadha 17, 1931 (Saka) _________ MATTERS RAISED WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE CHAIR I. Damage caused due to release of water from Ranganidi Dam SHRI BIRENDRA PRASAD BAISHYA: The Brahmaputra is an ancient civilization of our country which is today under great threat due to the construction of a big river dam in neighbouring State, the Bhutan Kingdom. The construction of new big dam, lower Subansiri hydro-electrical project, is a threat to the State of Assam and the other States of the North- Eastern region. The proposed dam site is 2.3 kilometres from the Gerukamukh village of Dhemaji district of Assam. 160-metre high dam will submerge 3436 hectares of forest land and many important biodiversity pastures. The area is elephant corridor. Construction of dam will also seriously affect river dolphins in river Brahmaputra. We are not opposed to the construction of dam for the power generation, but we are opposed to the construction of dam for the destruction of the wealth of Assam and the North Eastern region. (Shri Biswajit Daimary, Shri S. S. Ahluwalia and Dr. (Shrimati) Najma A. Heptulla associated). ______________________________________________ ∗This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha. 64 II. Availability of the Report of the Ranganath Mishra Commission SHRI ALI ANWAR ANSARI: The Government has set up National Commission for Religious and Linguistic Minorities under the Chairmanship of Shri Rangnath Mishra in October, 2004. This Commission submitted its report in May, 2007. Myself and many other hon’ble Members in this House demanded in the House a number of times to lay the report of this Commission and to hold a debate upon this. But this report has so far not been laid in this House. Meanwhile, we have come to know that Information Commission, has provided the information in the matter. In this way the House was sidelined. I consider it as the contempt of the House. Dalit Muslims and Christians are downtrodden, unrepresented and the poor people, so the Government is not laying the report on the Table of the House. We urge upon you to lay this report alongwith action taken report on the Table of the House and facilitate debate on this report in this Session itself. III. Widespread trafficking of humans in the country, especially in Chhattisgarh and West Bengal SHRIMATI MOHSINA KIDWAI: Around 3,000 girls in Chhattisgarh have gone missing due to illegal human trafficking. According to police sources, 5,000 persons were registered missing, out of which 3,000 are girls. It has been revealed that placement agencies are behind this racket as they lure women with good job prospects, but, after some days, these women go missing. The women work as domestic servants and are, often, subjected to physical and mental torture. India has enough laws to check human trafficking but these laws are not being implemented seriously. Human trafficking has become an organised crime and traffickers are working without fear of the law. Our main focus should be the prevent child trafficking and to know the root cause of this, and we should see that development schemes for poor and backward classes are safely implemented. I solicit support of the House and Government to make all endeavours to prevent this menace. (Shri Prabhat Jha associated). 65 IV. Demand to amend the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, 1991 to save the demolition of the houses of fishermen community SHRI SHANTARAM LAXMAN NAIK: On account of the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, 1991, which came into force w.e.f. 19th February, 1991, about 8000 houses on the sea coast of Goa are facing demolition. The Panaji Bench of Bombay High Court has given certain directions to the Revenue authorities for supervising 105 kms. of Goa coastline and has directed them to demolish constructions, built prior to 1991 and in the post 1991 period, in violation of CRZ regulations and plans. There are about 4,553 structures which have come up post 1991 on Goa coast, within 200 to 500 mtrs., and 2,272 structures, within 100 mtrs. Most of these houses are occupied by fisher folk communities. Members of fisher folk communities keep their fishing equipments, motor and motor equipments and fishing nets etc., in these houses. Taking the circumstances into consideration, a way has to be found out to save these structures. The only remedy to do this is to carry of Goa specific amendment to the CRZ III(i) to protect constructions. V. Ill- treatment meted out to the students from other states during an examination of the Railway Recruitment Board in Mysore SHRI RAJNITI PRASAD: There is Federal System of governance in India. Any person can go anywhere for employment and any person can submit application for employment anywhere in India. Our poor people go to Assam in search of job, where they are shot dead. The Government has assured a number of times that the people will be protected but it was not fulfilled. Our educated children go far off places for taking examinations. They are selectively asked that from where they have come and if it is known that they came from Bihar, they are subjected to torture, they are beaten, their examination papers are snatched away. This is a very serious matter. Therefore, in my opinion, if any central examination like Railways Recruitment examination is conducted outside the State, the arrangements for the safety of examinees should be ensured or otherwise these examinations should be conducted at local level. 66 VI. Firing of rockets by Pakistan in the villages of Punjab SHRI M. RAMA JOIS: It is reported in Hindustan Times, dated 6th July, 2009 that three rockets fired from the Pakistan side of the international border exploded in the Indian territory on 5th July and this caused panic in the border areas of Amritsar in Punjab. The impact of the explosion was, as per reports, so great that a ten feet deep crater was created in the agricultural fields. The other two exploded at two nearby villages, one in Pulkanjri and another in Dallikeri, near the international border. Such an incident has created unrest and fear among the residents and agriculturists in the vicinity. This is a serious matter and demands immediate suitable steps by the Government of India to ensure safety of our citizens residing in the border villages. VII. Situation arising out due to the extra money claimed by the Haj Committee from pilgrims, who completed Haj in 2008 SHRI MOINUL HASSAN: Last year, there were 1,20,787 Indian Haj pilgrims. Long after the Indian pilgrims have returned from Haj in December, 2008, they are now being asked to cough up more money. They have already completed their Haj. This Mumbai-based Haj Committee manage the pilgrimage to Mecca for the Government. Recently, they have sent an unsigned letter to all pilgrims to pay additional Rs.5000/-. Their justification is that ‘rupee to Saudi riyal’ exchange rate has changed, has gone up. But if it goes down, would the Haj Committee appointed by the Government of India pay back the money? I have told the Ministry and the Government that mismanagement is going on in the Haj Committee. People were suffering in Mecca and Madina but nothing was done by this Committee. I would request the Government to look into the matter and solve the problem immediately. Those people who have already completed Haj, should not be harassed and immediately scrap the letter. (Shri A Vijayaraghavan, Shri Penumalli Madhu and Shrimati Brinda Karat associated). 67 VIII. Strike by fishermen in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu following arrest of fishermen by Sri Lankan Navel Personnel SHRI D. RAJA: More than 15,000 fishermen are on strike in Rameshwaram. The reason for this is 20 fishermen were arrested by the Sri Lankan Navy. First, they were taken to Talaimannar and now the reports are that they have been taken to Anuradhapuram Prison in Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan Navy confiscated four boats. It is not the first incident. Such incidents are taking place every now and then. It is reported that more than 100 fishermen have disappeared. The Sri Lankan Navy is not only shooting the Indian fishermen indiscriminately, they are also confiscating their boats. The Government should take urgent steps to get their release and to protect the Indian fishermen. The Government will have to take certain long-term measures. It is high time that the Government of India demanded re- opening and renegotiations of the Katchatheevu Island. It is not an issue for Rameshwaram or Tamil Nadu. It is an issue for the entire country. (Shri Tiruchi Siva associated). IX. Illegal construction of bridge-cum-barrages by Karnataka over river Krishna and its tributaries SHRI M. V. MYSURA REDDY: I wish to bring to the notice of the Government of India and the Ministry of Water Resources regarding unauthorised construction of bridge-cum-barrage by the State of Karnataka. The State of Andhra Pradesh is already suffering because of the construction of Almatti Dam. Now, the State of Karnataka is constructing a chain of bridge-cum-barrages on the Krishna river. The Karnataka Government is constructing 20 barrages on Ghata Prabha, 18 barrages on Bhima, 10 barrages on Mala Prabha and 7 barrages on river Krishna. The malign intention of the Government of Karnataka is to store more than 100 TMC of water in the above barrages and use the same for irrigation. I would request the Government of India to immediately direct the Government of Karnataka to desist from such illegal and unauthorised construction.

  • Media Framing of the Human Rights Violations at Palk Bay
    © Media Watch 9 (1) 141-149, 2018 ISSN 0976-0911 e-ISSN 2249-8818 DOI: 10.15655/mw/2018/v9i1/49278 Fishing in the Troubled Water: Media Framing of the Human Rights Violations at Palk Bay C. J. RAVI KRISHNAN & C. PICHAANDY VLB Janakiammal Arts and Science College, India This study aims at appropriating the social and print media construct and coverage of human rights violations in the post Eelam war between Indian Tamil fishermen and their conflict with Sri Lankan Navy in the Palk Bay. The alleged intrusion of the Indian trawlers into the Sri Lankan water and the rebuttal by Sri Lankan Navy leading to the torture, arrest and at times, death of Indian fishermen is being widely articulated and debated in Indian and foreign media. An attempt has been made here using the framing theory to investigate how human rights violations were constructed in Indian print media (Dinamani and The Hindu) and socials media (Twitter). Keywords: Palk Bay, Indian fishermen, Sri Lanka, human rights, LTTE Historically and socially, the umbilical cord bondage between the Indian fishermen and their counterpart in Northern Sri Lanka permeated a cultural oneness and the fishermen on the both sides of the Palk Bay lived happily, enjoying the marine resources mutually for generations. The Palk Bay is a strait between the Tamil Nadu state of India and the Mannar district of the Northern Province of the island nation of Sri Lanka. However, the ethnic conflict that erupted between the Tamil people of Northern Province of Sri Lanka and Sinhalese from the early 1980s to 2009, completely changed the sharing of the marine resources of the Palk Bay.

  • Title: Need to Rename Silchar Railway Station As 'Bhasha Shahid Station'. *SHRI PRASANTA KUMAR MAJUMDAR (BALURGHAT) : Respected
    > Title: Need to rename Silchar railway station as 'Bhasha Shahid Station'. *SHRI PRASANTA KUMAR MAJUMDAR (BALURGHAT) : Respected Chairman Sir, through you I would like to draw the kind attention of Hon. Minster of Home Affairs to a matter of great public importance. You are aware that there are large number of Bengali speaking people in the State of Assam. Bengalis have been staying there for many years; even before Partition, they were there. So along with Assamese language, Bengali language was also a medium of instruction in the schools of Assam. In the year 1960, Assamese language was given recognition by the Government of Assam. Since then, the Bengali population has been fighting for the recognition of Bengali language. On 19 May, 1961, this language struggle took a major turn in Barak valley of Silchar. Assam Police opened fire on the activists as a result of which 11 persons died. In 1962, during the Indo − China war, this language movement stopped. As that time, the Bengali speaking people demanded that the Silchar railway station should be renamed as "Bhasha Shahid Station'. Cutting across party line, Hon. Members of Lok Sabha and Assembly, ministers as well as the common people of Assam have, in one voice, reiterated this demand. Hon. Chief Minister of Assam, Shri Tarun Gogai has given the No-objection Certificate but still this demand has not been met. I received my education in Assam and am well aware of the sentiments of the Bengali population of the State. Thus I urge upon the Central Government to pay due homage to the language martyrs by renaming the Silchar station as 'Bhasha Shahid Station'.

Email- [email protected] [email protected] Mob: 09443140817 (Ph:0172-2228306, 9316131598) Purchase of ACEMU, DEMU & MEMU Coaches from non‐Railway companies by sparing Intellectual properties of ICF/RCF free of Cost Preliminary report by K.V.RAMESH, JGS/IRTSA & Staff Council Member/Supervisory – Shell/ICF 1 Part‐A Anticipated requirement of rolling stock during XII th Five Year Plan & Production units of Indian Railways. 2 Measurers to upgrade the requirement & quality of passenger services during the 12th Plan (2012‐13 to 2016‐17) Enhancing accommodation in trains: Augmenting the load of existing services with popular timings and on popular routes to 24/26 coaches would help generating additional capacity and availability of additional berths/seats for the travelling public. Enhancing speed of trains: At present, speed of trains of Mail/Express trains is below 55 kmph. These are low as per international standards. Segregation of freight and passenger traffic, enhancing the sectional speeds, and rationalization of stoppages are important measures for speed enhancement. The speed of especially the passenger trains is quite low at present primarily because of the coaching stock in use and due to multiplicity of stoppages enroute. There is scope for speeding up of these services by replacing trains with conventional stock by fast moving EMUs/MEMUs/DEMUs. Enhancing the sectional speeds is another enabling factor in speeding them.

MANOHAR JOSHI: Sir before taking up the Question Hour I would say that I have given a notice again on the Maharashtra issue. The other day we had a discussion. I had requested that this matter may be taken up by keeping aside the Question Hour and other business of the House. Sir, the matter has become serious because there is no way out.... MR. CHAIRMAN: Could you give me just one minute please? DR.MANOHAR JOSHI: Yes. MR. CHAIRMAN: Your request has been considered very carefully. The Chair wishes to give a ruling on it. DR. MANOHAR JOSHI: Before you give your ruling, let me argue my case. If you are giving a ruling, give me few minutes to argue my case and, thereafter, you can give your ruling. Sir, my only argument is: the other day when I spoke, I had no books with me. Today, fortunately, I have brought a book called, “Practice and Procedure of Parliament” by Shri M. N. Kaul and S. L. Shakdher. MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, we are all aware of it. DR. MANOHAR JOSHI: Sir, this book has clearly said that if a matter is not started in the court, it can be discussed in the House. They have given a number of illustrations, I would not take them. But that is not the only thing. They have given two to three other reasons also.

The multi-billion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) appears to have driven a wedge between all-weather allies China and Pakistan. Sharp differences have emerged between the two countries over a $6.8 billion railway line project, which is part of the ambitious China- Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The impasse has even led to an indefinite delay in the annual bilateral CPEC summit. This is not the first that CPEC has triggered a strain in the long-standing friendship between the two countries. China-Pakistan ties are in troubled waters these days because of following issues:- (a) Fallout Over Rail Project Pakistan has been expecting China to lend $6 billion at a concessional interest rate of less than 3 percent for the Main Line-1 project.

  • About Current Connect
    (CURRENT CONNECT- JULY-20) ABOUT CURRENT CONNECT It gives us immense pleasure to present an innovative approach to master current affairs. Current is a passing wind and diverse issues happen at the same time. It is to an extent chaotic. Newspapers, magazines and various other sources report the chaos per se. With our experience of current affairs we have tried to give ―the current‖ a medium to travel. It is the syllabus of the UPSC with their components that are the medium through which the "Current is Passed‖ to the readers. Ever since the new syllabus of the UPSC came into existence, current has been gaining significance both at prelims as well as mains examination. This book is meant to cover current affairs and related questions arising from those events. We have not only covered the current events for their factual contents but also presented it in such a way that any question asked from that topic gets covered. Moreover, topics are also "peppered" with the relevant facts/key concepts that are related to the theme. We have also given questions for practice both, subjective and objective, so that candidates are oriented to the examination mode. It is a collection covering myriad source yet in a manageable size. To use this book we recommend you to master the components of general studies (GS) syllabus as broken into rows and columns (provided in the beginning after preface). Each cell comprising of the portion of GS becomes the connect for the current and every news subsequently covered guides the reader to the address of the syllabus.
