Synopsis of Debate RAJYA SABHA __________ ∗SYNOPSIS OF DEBATE __________ (Proceedings other than Questions and Answers) __________ Friday, December 11, 2009/ Agrahayana 20, 1931 (Saka) __________ REFERENCE REGARDING EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE PARLIMANENT BUILDING ON THE 13TH DECEMBER, 2001 MR. CHAIRMAN: Hon'ble Members, 13th December, 2009, marks the Eighth Anniversary of the dastardly attack on the Parliament House by terrorists. On this occasion we recall the supreme sacrifices made by our security personnel including two staff of the Parliament Security Service from the Rajya Sabha Secretariat, five Delhi Police personnel and a woman constable for the Central Reserve Police Force, who laid down their lives while preventing entry of terrorists inside the Parliament House building. A Gardener of the CPWD also lost his life in the incident. I am sure, the whole House will join me in condemning this incident in unequivocal terms. We once again re-iterate our firm resolve to fight terrorism with determination and re-dedicate ourselves to protect the sovereignty and integrity of our nation. (One minute's silence was observed as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased.) _________ ______________________________________________ ∗This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha. 244 MATTERS RAISED WITH PERMISSION OF THE CHAIR I. Telangana Issue SHRI M. VENKAIAH NAIDU: With regard to issue of formation of a separate Telengana State, I have been repeatedly saying in the House that the House must be taken into confidence. Consultation is needed to be held with different political parties and also with the Legislators and Members of Parliament. It is a regional and sentimental issue. The Government should do some homework, prepare some roadmap and then take the concerned people into confidence. There is bandh in Rayalseema and some parts of the State. Unless people are taken into confidence, there are bound to be reactions. The Home Minister has announced something and he has done it outside the House. Some 106 MLAs had gone to the Speaker and submitted their resignations. It is a very serious matter. I only request the Government to take the House into confidence and take steps to see that the situation is handled properly. THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (SHRI PRITHVIRAJ CHAVAN): I share the concern expressed by the Hon'ble Member. I assure you that I will apprise the hon. Home Minister about the concerns expressed here. II. Demand for an inquiry into the incidents of alleged 'love jihad' in the country and take strict measures to punish the culprits SHRI BALBIR PUNJ: Kerala High Court has confirmed the incidents relating to the conversion being done forcibly or by alluring young women of a particular religion taking place in many parts of the country. The Court has not only accepted the existence of 'love jihad', but given direction to make law against conversion in Kerala too like other States in view of the seriousness of the matter. The Kerala High Court has, in fact, asked the Kerala Government to enact a law against such fraudulent conversions. The Kerala High Court has observed that 2,800 non-Muslim girls belonging to Hindu and Christian faith have been converted in the last four years. And 16,00 girls are only from four Muslim-dominated districts including Malappuram. Such conversions have taken place in the four districts alone. This is a well-planned conspiracy to convert non-Muslim young women into Islam by casting a spell on them. Similar conspiracy is being carried out by the Jihadi outfits sitting across the border. 245 III. The three-day bandh announced in Darjeeling SHRI RAJIV PRATAP RUDY: The people of Darjeeling, the people of have been demanding to make their own state-Gorakha land for the last hundred years. They have announced to observe a bandh there which will affect Sikkim and North-Eastern region. Darjeeling was once a part of Bhutan. The people of that hilly area had demanded separate state for them in the year 1907 also when Marley-Minto Reforms delegation had visited India. Bhutias, Lepchas, Gorkhas, Uranvs, Mundas and Rajvanshis are demanding the formation of a separate state. This is such an area of the country which has three international borders of Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal. The manner in which this area is becoming insecure, is a matter of concern for our country. IV. Missing Indian Coast Guard personnel SHRI TIRUCHI SIVA: Two sailors of the Indian Coast Guard are missing along with five Sri Lankan fishermen in mid-sea since Wednesday night. Sources said the sailors were overpowered by the Sri Lankan fishermen. The Coast Guard officials were trying to negotiate for the release of the sailors through appropriate Sri Lankan authorities. The Coast Guard could not trace the missing boat named "Win Marine". The status of the sailors is not clear. Taking a serious note of this issue, I urge the Government of India to take necessary steps and appropriate action to ensure the safety and security of our sailors and fishermen in Indian waters. (Shrimati Brinda Karat, Shri D. Raja, Shrimati Vasanthi Stanley and Shrimati Jaya Bachchan associated.) V. Supreme Court judgement on honour killing SHRIMATI BRINDA KARAT: Women continue to be victimized for asserting their autonomy on decision-making on issues concerning their own lives. The Supreme Court of India has delivered a judgement on an honour killing, which can only be considered a step backward in terms of upholding the values of social reforms. The Supreme Court is openly disapproving the right of any adult man or woman of this country given by our Constitution to take a decision pertaining to their own lives, regarding self-choice in marriage. That is the first point. The second point is that the Supreme Court of India is now advocating leniency in such cases, saying to take social traditions into account. (Dr. (Shrimati) Kapila Vatsyayan, Dr. (Shrimati) Najma A. Heptulla, Shri Tiruchi Siva, Prof. P.J. Kurien and Shrimati Jaya Bachchan associated.) 246 SPECIAL MENTIONS I. Request for withdrawing regulatory clearance to Bt. Brinjal SHRI D. RAJA: An Expert Committee set up by GEAC recommended Bt. Brinjal for commercial cultivation in India. Independent analysis have concluded that this Bt. Brinjal is unsafe for consumption. There has been a systemic interference by American agencies to get this Bt. Brinjal approved. The Expert Committee has not responded to the issues raised about the safety of Bt. Brinjal. We demand that the Expert Committee report and the subsequent clearance by GEAC be withdrawn by the government immediately. (Shri Rajniti Prasad, Dr. (Shrimati) Najma A. Heptulla and Shri Tiruchi Siva associated.) II. Denial of loan to students by banks for studies abroad SHRI AVTAR SINGH KARIMPURI: Higher education is getting more and more costly and hence the need for institutional funding in this area. No deserving student should be denied opportunity to pursue higher education for want of financial support by banks. I urge upon the Government to kindly look into the matter and impress upon the Banking Authorities that financial assistance be provided urgently to students keen to study in China or any other country of their choice. III. Caste based discrimination SHRI PRAVEEN RASHTRAPAL: Navi Pillay, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights recently stated that “Untouchability is a social phenomenon affecting approximately 260 million persons world- wide. I have, therefore, to request Hon’ble Prime Minister to please explain to this House, why the Government of India argues to the Human Rights bodies that caste discrimination is not an issue relevant to the evaluation of its performance vis-a-vis the human rights conventions to which India is party? Is the government aware about the stand taken by the NHRC in the Durban Conference on 05.09.2001 regarding discrimination that persist in India? (Shri Avtar Singh Karimpuri associated.) IV. Request for upgradation of Tiruchi Airport as international airport in Tamil Nadu SHRI TIRUCHI SIVA: Tiruchi is the only airport which has been having international operations for the past twenty years. Tiruchi Airport is a 247 Customs Airport and all international flights can be operated. It is an ISO 9001:2008 certified Airport. All the essential infrastructure is available in this Airport. The upgradation of Tiruchi Airport would boost further development of the region. V. Demand to resolve the problems being faced by the students due to refusal to give Student Visa by the British High Commission SHRIMATI VIPLOVE THAKUR: Of late, the British High Commission has refused issuing Visa to many students belonging to the State of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. The British High Commission has not returned original offer letters of admission alongwith their passports to such students. When these students applied for refund of their fees, they have been refused, as they require original offer letter. I strongly urge upon the Government to kindly take up the matter with the British High Commission immediately so that the students can get the refund of their fees from the concerned British Colleges. (Shri Santosh Bagrodia and Shri Sharad Anantrao Joshi associated.) VI. Demand to extend financial support to the weavers involved in making of Banarasi Sarees DR. (SHRIMATI) NAJMA A. HEPTULLA: I want to raise an important matter related to the plight of weaver community of Varanasi. Their income has declined very much. Many weavers in recent times have committed suicide, or they have been selling their blood. Silk cloth imports have increased very fast under WTO trade regime. Another threat is from powerloom owners. Rise in the price of silk yarn have proved harmful. There should be opportunities for weavers to sell their products directly and through emporiums.

  • Honorable Shri Venkaiah Naidu, Vice-President, Republic of India, Chairperson, Rajya Sabha December 19, 2018
    Honorable Shri Venkaiah Naidu, Vice-President, Republic of India, Chairperson, Rajya Sabha December 19, 2018 Sub: Oppose Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2018 and Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018 STOP CRIMINALISING BODIES AND LIVES We, the undersigned transpersons, sex workers, activists, academics, and allies in Karnataka, work on various forms of extreme exploitation and with the transgender community and sex workers (including but not limited to transgender sex workers). We express grave concerns with the regressive Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill and the Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2018. Both bills are pending consideration before the Rajya Sabha now. We request the Honorable Speaker to not ​ introduce the Transgender Bill and Trafficking Bill in the Rajya Sabha and to please refer these Bills to a Select Committee of the Rajya Sabha. ​ Recently in August 2018, the Delhi High Court in Harsh Mander and ors. vs. UoI has observed that the approach of criminalising begging was not a solution to addressing the problem. “The State simply cannot fail to do its duty to provide a decent life to its citizens and add insult to injury by arresting, detaining and, if necessary imprisoning persons who beg in search for essentials of bare survival”. Both the Bills (Transgender Bill and ​ Trafficking Bill 2018) are fundamentally motivated by a criminalizing impulse. Issues which have to be seen within the lens of development are sought to be dealt with by criminal law. The state instead of taking on welfarist / developmentalist functions chooses to focus on incarcerating the poor.

  • PARLEY Relevant For: Indian Polity | Topic: Elections, Election Commission and the Electoral Reforms in India Incl
    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2019-06-28 PARLEY Relevant for: Indian Polity | Topic: Elections, Election Commission and the Electoral Reforms in India Incl. Political Parties Last week, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened an all-party meeting to discuss the idea of ‘one nation, one poll’, several parties stayed away, calling the idea “anti-democratic” and “anti-federal”. In a discussion moderated by Anuradha Raman, Tiruchi Siva and Jagdeep S. Chokkar speak of the implications of the proposed move. Edited excerpts: Tiruchi Siva: One of the reasons the ruling party puts forth [to hold simultaneous elections] is the huge expenditure involved in the election process. In a democratic country, it the right of the people to exercise their franchise. It is the discretion of the people to elect or unseat a government. Citing expenses incurred in elections is not such a big issue in a country as vast as ours. Our main contention is that as long as we have Article 356 in the Constitution, which allows any State government to be removed by the Central government, how can you be sure that the Centre will not unseat a State government for its own personal reasons by using Article 356 if simultaneous elections are held? What will happen to the remaining tenure of that elected Assembly? As long as Article 356 is in the Constitution, no State government is assured its full term of five years. Will somebody give us an assurance that Article 356 will be removed from the Constitution? Jagdeep S. Chokkar: Well, are we trying to get the cheapest possible democracy or are we trying to get the most effective and representative democracy? I think it is wrong to put a monetary value on democracy and elections.
