Press Release: Apex Court upholds right to land of thousands of SSP adult sons: Govt. of M.P.'s Application dismissed


PRESS RELEASE 

For Immediate Release                                                          28thSeptember, 2015

Supreme Court dismisses Govt. of MP's Application denying right to land to thousands of adult sons of Sardar Sarovar oustees

Right to land of every adult son as per 2000 & 2005 judgement remains intact

NBA welcomes Order: SC Order establishes large scale pending R&R

New Delhi: In a significant Order, the Social Justice Bench of the Supreme Court comprising Jst. Madan Lokur and Jst. Uday Umesh Lalit today dismissed an Application filed by the Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) / Narmada Valley Development Authority (NVDA) seeking a 'modification / clarification' of the Apex Court's previous judgements of 2000 and 2005, thereby denying right to land of a few thousand adult sons of the Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) affected farmers.  

The Hon'ble Court held among other things that the Application by State of MP suffers from gross delay / laches having being filed many years after the judgements were issued (upholding the right to land of the SSP adult sons) and the rights / entitlements already accrued to the oustees in principle cannot be taken away. The Bench also had to take note of the fact that while the entitlement of most of the adult sons have already been recognized many many years ago, one set of oustees have been offered land / Special Rehabilitation Package (5.5. lakhs for 5 acres) since the judgement of 15/3/2005 of the Apex Court and another set of oustees are being denied the same; this would result in a clear violation of Article 14 of the Constitution which guarantees a fundamental right to equality. Terming this "not to be good governance", the Court summarily dismissed the Application.    

Arguing for the oustees, Adv. Sanjay Parikh stated that besides being un-maintainable, the Application is based on a gross misinterpretation of the 2011 judgement of the Apex Court, in the Omkareshwar Dam case, which is not applicable to the Sardar Sarovar oustees. He said that as per the Narmada Tribunal Award and the 2005, 2005 judgements, all adult sons are un-disputably entitled to 5 acres of cultivable and irrigable land. He also informed the Court that the NCA, R&R Sub-Group and the GRA, all 3 authorities concerned with the SSP oustees have already taken decisions / issues orders to the effect that the Omkareshwar judgement if not applicable on SSP and the SSP adult sons are entitled to land allotment separately.

NBA and all the SSP oustees welcome the Order of the Hon'ble Court which is not just an affirmation of the judgements of 2000 and 2005 of the Court, but also is a vindication of the rights and struggle of thousands of adivasis and other farmers, who have been waiting for land-based rehabilitation since many years and many of their families have also faced unlawful submergence in the previous years.

The effect of today's order is that all the adult sons of the Sardar Sarovar Oustees would be entitled to and have to be allotted 5 acres of cultivable land separately. This includes hundreds of farmers who have been entangled in the fake registries scam (almost 2000 + oustees to be finalized by the Jst. Jha Commission), 1,500 oustees who been received only one instalment of cash but could not purchase land and hundreds of those who have been given uncultivable land out of the land bank. About 500 applications pending before the GRA (M.P.) can also now be immediately decided in the favour of the adult sons on the basis of today's order.

The Respondents in this case were represented by Adv. Sanjay Parikh, assisted by Adv. Clifton Rozario and Adv. Ninni Susan and Medha Patkar, who is a petitioner-in-person in the connected matters. GoMP was represented by ASG Adv. Patwalia and the NCA by ASG Tushar Mehta.

An Open letter to Dr Shashi Tharoor - A.K. Biswas


 An Open letter to Dr Shashi Tharoor - A.K. Biswas,
        Mainstream, VOL LIII No 40,
        New Delhi, September 26, 2015
                       
   http://www.mainstreamweekly.net/article5956.html

... Let me point out, by 1911 Bengal, which was ahead in educational progress, presented a picture of peculiar interest for appreciation. W. H. Thompson, Superintendent of Census Operations of Bengal had observed that "The extent of literacy among males of the bhadralok seems to have reached its limit." As an alumni of St Xavier College, Calcutta, you (Shashi Tharoor), I guess need no elucidation of word 'bhadralok', who actually is an exclusive caste club for Brahmans, Baidyas and Kayasthas. The official, however, underlined that in the case of all three the last decade (1901-1911) "has shown great progress" in female education. Speaking factually, this self-styled bhadralok club did everything to frustrate the educational aspirations of all others in Bengal. The opponents of the Gokhale education bill were Sir Surendra Nath Banerjea whereas Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Madan Mohan Malviya extended their support.

And ahead of Gokhale, coincidentally, M.K. Gandhi appeared on the scene as the icing on the cake. In his Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule, he displayed his inner self in 1909, "The ordinary meaning of education is knowledge of letters. To teach boys reading, writing and arithmetic is called primary education. A peasant earns his bread honestly. He has ordinary knowledge of the world. But he cannot write his own name. What do you propose to do by giving him a knowledge of letters? Will you add an inch to his happiness?....it is not necessary to make this education compulsory. Our ancient school system is enough..... We consider your modern school to be useless." The avatar of peace, swadeshi and non-violence consigned the issue of education for the masses to the abyss of darkness and ignorance. Could a greater violence to human progress and national prosperity be inflicted non-violently than what the Father of the Nation did? The beneficiaries had all good reasons to project him for the nation as what they did after his obscurantist, malefic outburst against education for the masses.

So, when an American journalist wanted to point her finger to the pitfalls in the preachings of some of such tall leaders, she was dismissed as anti-Indian and lackey of imperialism. She wrote, "[......] if Indian self-government were established tomorrow, and if wealth rushed in, succeeding poverty in the land, India, unless she reversed her own views as to her 'untouchables' and as to her women, must still continue in the frontline the earth's illiterates...." [Italicised by this writer] This was Katherine Mayo, an erudite scholar. You know the intrinsic importance of Mayo's warning and the guideline for emancipation of India. The Indian attitude either to her untouchables or to her women has not changed at all. The untouchables have been rechristened as Scheduled Castes whom Gandhiji disgraced and disenfranchised millions by terming them as harijan, a word that actually means a bastard whose mother is without morality. ...

Press release – Rajasthan Police lathi-charge protesting school girls #WTFnews

Press release – Rajasthan Police lathi-charge protesting school girls #WTFnews

Posted by :kamayani On : October 1, 2015

There is an ongoing  using the RTI to monitor and improve the quality of  in Rajasthan called Shiksha Ka Sawaal. The campaign was began after student protests at the Bhim Girl's school in Rajasthan. A number of similar protests began taking place all over schools in Rajasthan and the campaign spread. Yesterday a number of young  on protest in the district of Tonk were lathi-charged by the police.

Activists demand lodging of FIR against concerned police officers
A series of protests against the state of education and teacher shortages have been ongoing by students of  schools across Rajasthan. Today on the 30th of September, girls from Chauru (Aligarh), district Tonk, Rajasthan were lathi-charged by police persons while on protest. Some of the girls were seriously injured and have been hospitalised.

Representatives of people's movements in Rajasthan report that police were sent to lathi charge the girls at the time at which they were supposed to meet the District Collector and the District Education Officer to discuss their problems. Activists asserted that the girls have the right to protest the dismal situation and quality of education in their schools. All children have the right to quality education. The girls had come out to protest the lack of teachers in their school and I instead of responses to their rightful demands, the girls faced physical and psychological violence.

This is a shameful incident for the Rajasthan Government and its Department of Education. The present  government, the district administration and the police, collectively responded to the protesting girls with violence and cruelty. According to the Right to Education no child must face any kind of corporal punishment. The actions of the police are unconstitutional and illegal.

A delegation of activists went to meet the DGP who admitted that the operation the police carried out was wrong and also spoke of taking action.

Activists have made the following demands:
1. An FIR be immediately registered against the policemen who carried out the operation
2. The girls who have been seriously injured must get free medical care and compensation
3. The District Collector and the District Education Officer must go meet the girls in hospital and those in the school in order to help stabilise the situation and help build trust and alleviate the legitimate fears of the girls
4. The criteria and standards laid down for education must be immediately met including sanctioning adequate teachers and providing adequate infrastructure

स्कूली बालिकाओं के साथ पुलिस की बर्बरता के खिलाफ जनसंगठनों का विरोध
एवं
मुख्य सचिव एवं डीजीपी से दोषी पुलिस कर्मचारियों के खिलाफ एफआईआर दर्ज करने की मांग

प्रेस नोट

टोंक जिले के चोरु(अलीगढ) गाँव की छात्रों द्वारा की जा रही शिक्षकों की मांग पर बालिकाओं के साथ हुए लाठीचार्ज पर अनेक जनसंगठन पुलिस महानिदेशक से मिले साथ ही मुख्य सचिव को ज्ञापन भेजा गया. संगठनों का कहना था कि जब जिला कलेक्टर या जिला शिक्षा अधिकारी द्वारा बालिकाओं के साथ बातचीत का समय था उस वक्त पुलिस भिजवाकर बालिकाओं के ऊपर लाठी चलवाई गई. संगठनो का मानना है कि स्कूली बालिकाएं शिक्षा के अधिकार के तहत शिक्षकों की कमी की पूर्ती के लिए अगर सड़क पर भी विरोध करने उतर आईं तो यह उनका जायज हक़ था क्योंकि गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा हर बच्चे का अधिकार है. बालिकाओं की इस मंशा की सराहना करने के बजाय उनके साथ शारीरिक और मानसिक हिंसा की गई जो किसी भी रूप में स्वीकार्य नहीं है और निंदनीय है.
यह राजस्थान सरकार और शिक्षा विभाग के लिए शर्मनाक बात है. अच्छी शिक्षा मांगने के लिए प्रदर्शन कर रही छात्राओं पर वर्तमान भाजपा सरकार, जिला प्रशासन और पुलिस ने क्रूरता एवं संवेदनहीनता दिखाई. बाल न्याय कानून के अनुसार बच्चों के प्रति किसी भी सूरत में किसी भी तरह की यातना नहीं दी जा सकती है इसके बावजूद पुलिस का यह बर्ताव किशोर न्याय (देखरेख) एवं संरक्षण अधिनियम के तहत दंडनीय है. जब विभिन्न जनसंगठनों का एक प्रतिनिधिमंडल पुलिस महानिदेशक से मिलने गया तो उन्होंने माना कि पुलिस की यह कार्यवाही गलत थी उन्होंने समुचित कार्यवाही करने बात भी कही.
समस्त जनसंगठनों की ओर से निम्न मांग की गई:-
दोषी पुलिसकर्मियों के खिलाफ तुरंत एफआईआर दर्ज कराइ जाये.
गंभीर रूप से घायल बालिकाओं का मुफ्त इलाज करवाया जाये एवं उन्हें मुआवजा दिया जाये.
अस्पताल में भर्ती बलिकोँ एवं स्कूल में अध्ययनरत बकिलाओं से जिला कलेक्टर, जिला शिक्षा अधिकारी मिलने जाए ताकि स्थितियों पुनः सामान्य हो सकें और बालिकाओं के मन में भरोसा कायम हो सके और पुलिस का खौफ भी निकल सके.
स्कूल की गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा के लिए जरुरी मापदंडों को पूरा किया जाये. शिक्षकों की उपलब्धता तुरंत सिनिश्चित की जाये, मूलभूत सुविधाओं को अति शीघ्र पूरा किया जाये.

Subject: Immediate lodging of FIRs against the police in the matter of lathi charge of young students in Aligarh, Tonk District

Dear Sirs,

Please find enclosed the the press cutting which shows how the local police in Tonk lathi charged the young girls who were protesting rightfully for teachers in their school as they wanted to study.

This protest should have heartened the district administration and instead of sending the police, the District Collector or the District Education Officer should have gone to the place and dialogued with the girls. They should have been encouraged in their quest for good education and not beaten up.

Many of them now are in the hospital, physically injured and traumatised. Many were abused physically, touched and pushed. Is this the gift that the Government of Rajasthan and the Rajasthan police wishes to give its girls who are keen on education.

We are keen that some steps are taken immediately the suggestions are as follows:
· Suspension is not good enough, criminal cases must be lodged against the police officials who carried out lathi charge.
· The District Collector, Education Secretary (primary)must make a visit to the area and console the girls and help them come out of the trauma of police action.
· Sufficient teachers should be appointed and quality education be delivered.

With regards,
Kavita Srivastava ( PUCL, General Secretary)

When Narendra Modi CRIED in USA . . . *****Not Even ONE Lady Wiped Modi's TEARS!***** by Ashok T Jaisinghani


When Narendra Modi CRIED in USA . . . 
*****Not Even ONE Lady Wiped Modi's TEARS!*****

        by Ashok T Jaisinghani

   It is a GREAT PITY that NOT even ONE kind-hearted LADY in the audience took the GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY of using her HANDKERCHIEF for WIPING the TEARS of our great Prime Minister Narendra Modi, when he CRIED publicly in USA, especially as he was SHEDDING TEARS for the STRUGGLES of the WOMAN who has been his MOTHER! 

   Narendra Modi had started WEEPING as soon as he remembered his POOR MOTHER who had struggled hard to bring him up, for which she had to work as a MAID-SERVANT who CLEANED UTENSILS and FILLED WATER in the houses of other people. He also stated that his MOTHER had even WORKED as a LABORER. 

   Did ALL the LADIES present in the program held on September 27 at the FACEBOOK headquarters in San Jose, California, think that Narendra Modi was shedding FALSE TEARS like any ACTOR of Bollywood or any ROCKSTAR of Hollywood? Why even ONE LADY did NOT use her HANDKERCHIEF to WIPE the TEARS of Narendra Modi, the GREATEST and MOST POPULAR Prime Minister of India? 

*****Did Modi CRY to get VOTES of POOR Biharis?*****

   Women know that many children CRY to ATTRACT the ATTENTION of others to themselves! By SHEDDING TEARS while talking about his POOR MOTHER, was Narendra Modi desperately trying to DRAW the ATTENTION of the POOR VOTERS of Bihar, especially the WOMEN, to vote for "HIM" in the Assembly elections? Or do his TEARS INDICATE his EXTREME FEAR that his party, the BJP, will get BADLY DEFEATED in the Bihar Assembly elections! 

   Will the POOR PEOPLE of Bihar TRUST and VOTE for the party of a high-flying FLAMBOYANT ROCKSTAR like Narendra Modi who is always HOBNOBBING and dealing with the RICHEST PERSONS of the world, ALL of whom are BILLIONAIRES? Should the POOR PEOPLE of Bihar believe in his BOMBASTIC BOGUS PROMISES, when the BJP just will NEVER be ABLE to keep them?  

*****Should Children SHED TEARS for POOR PARENTS?*****

   Will Prime Minister Narendra Modi answer these BIG QUESTIONS: Should the children of CRORES of POOR maidservants, farmers and laborers SHED TEARS whenever they think about their HARD-WORKING PARENTS? Will Doordarshan and other TV producers show the CRORES of such children SHEDDING TEARS in the programs telecast on their channels? If Narendra Modi CRIES and SHEDS TEARS because his MOTHER cleaned utensils and filled water, why does he ask the Indian children and others to SWEEP the STREETS and CLEAN DIRTY TOILETS with JHAADOOS in his Swachchh Bharat Abhiyaan, when such work is MUCH WORSE and more demeaning? 

   Should we all CRY and SHED TEARS when we remember that Mahatma Gandhi, known as the "FATHER of the NATION," even cleaned TOILETS?

I am afraid that this unprecedented violence to reset the power politics equations has to continue further and the opponent sides in the battle would not spare the masses hitherto detached and watching,enjoying the yet another Tamasha LIVE on TV.

It is senseless politics as Mamata Banerjee administration opted again for Lathi Charge on Left Activists in Central Kolkata creates Chaos while office employees were returning HOME.Police did not spare them!


The scenario looked like some Dhobighat where the police instead of the washing people were beating,thrashing without mercy men and women like some clothes to be cleaned!


It is a repeat of NABANA Abhiyan.It seems the Lft has decided to fight it out right into the heart of Kolkata and the Left Forces intensify the all out attack against Mamata Banerjee regime and she,her government and police together gear up to answer the bricks with stones.


Pardon me,anybody would condemn the brutal lathicharge on innocent masses anywhere anytime,but it looks not to be a perfect Marxist Mass Movement as the Left Activists have opted to concentrate in Kolkata only which would be never enough for return of the Left Rule for yet another time.


Thus it happened.The Kolkata Police on Thursday yet again lathi-charged on the Communist Party of India (Marxist) members, injuring several people.


I want to remind that this is like a repeat incident when on August 27, the Left activists including CPI(M) Politburo member Biman Bose and 25 policemen were injured during pitched battle with the police when the cops tried to stop their march to the state secretariat.

Left parties protest against law and order situation, in

As per the latest report, the Left activists along with CPI members were beaten seriously while they were marching their rally towards the Lal Bazaar Police Headquarter, opposing the stance taken by the police and the state government on August 27.


In Thursday's incident, CPI-M Central Committee member Deepak Dasgupta was injured by the lathi-charge and was bleeding from his head. Also, reports say that women have been lathi-charged by the male policemen.


Though the state chief secretariat had advised the police to handle the situation carefully and not to opt for lathi-charge, the police used bricks to disperse the crowd, alleged the protesters.


The CPI-M party workers alleged that many of their members were injured by the police. Some had even alleged that while trying to flee the scene, they were being chased and were made to suffer the pain of lathis.

However, police claimed that they were made to receive rotten eggs from the protesters.


CPM TMC clash in MurshidabadCPM, TMC workers clash in Murshidabad. ANI


Mind you,West Bengal witnessed sporadic cases of violence in the first few hours of the nationwide strike called by Left-affiliatedtrade unions on 2nd September. Over 15 crore people from 10 trade unions were expected to join a nationwide one-day strike that is underway since morning.

In Murshidabad district's Berhampore, Trinamool Congress supporters allegedly pelted stones on CPM supporters leaving several injured. Left leader, Moinul Hassan and seven others, including two women were seen attacked by Trinamool Congress supporters. They were seriously injured in the brick batting and are admitted to the local hospital.




On August 27, the CPI(M) affiliated All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) along with ten other Left Front affiliated peasant fronts organised the march to the secretariat in support of their 17-point charter of demands on issues such as farmer suicides and farmers's rehabilitation who affected by the recent floods.

Then,a rally led by the Left peasant's organisations in the city turned violent after the police stopped their 'Nabanna Abhijaan' – march to the state secretariat on Thursday. The Left supporters started brick-batting and pushed the guard rails against the police officers, leaving as many as 25-30 officers with serious injuries.

আইন রক্ষার দাবিতে আজ

লালবাজার অভিযান

নিজস্ব প্রতিনিধি

কলকাতা, ৩০শে সেপ্টেম্বর— ফাইল মাথায় টেবিলের তলা থেকে বেরিয়ে আসুক পুলিশ। শাসক দলের 'অর্ডার' নয়, 'ল্য' মেনেই অন্তত কাজ করুক পুলিশ প্রশাসন। মহানগরীর নাগরিক জীবনকে সুরক্ষিত রাখুন আইনের রক্ষকরা।


দাবি এই শহরের মানুষের। কলকাতাবাসীর সেই দাবিকে সোচ্চারে পৌঁছে দিতেই বৃহস্পতিবার বিকালে লালবাজার অভিযানে যাবেন এই শহরের হাজার হাজার বামফ্রন্ট কর্মী। দলদাসের ভূমিকা থেকে সরে এসে পুলিশ আইনশৃঙ্খলা রক্ষা করুক, লালবাজারে গিয়েই কলকাতার মানুষের সেই আবেদন জানিয়ে আসবেন বামফ্রন্ট নেতৃত্ব। বৃহস্পতিবার বিকাল পাঁচটায় শহরের তিন জায়গা থেকে মিছিল যাবে কলকাতা পুলিশের সদর দপ্তর লালবাজারে। ওয়াই চ্যানেল-ডোরিনা ক্রসিং, সুবোধ মল্লিক স্কোয়ার এবং কলেজ স্কোয়ার থেকে আলাদা আলাদা তিনটি মিছিল হবে। আগে ঠিক ছিল মহম্মদ আলি পার্ক থেকে একটি মিছিল যাবে লালবাজারের দিকে। যদিও পুলিশের বারংবার অনুরোধে তা পরিবর্তন করে কলেজ স্কোয়ার থেকেই মিছিল করার সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছে কলকাতা জেলা বামফ্রন্ট। বিমান বসু, সূর্য মিশ্র, মহম্মদ সেলিমসহ রাজ্য বামফ্রন্টের নেতৃবৃন্দ মিছিলে অংশ নেবেন।


তবে কলকাতা জেলা বামফ্রন্টের ডাকে বৃহস্পতিবার লালবাজার চলো কর্মসূচিতে কলকাতা পুলিশ আদৌ সহযোগিতার পথে যে হাঁটবে না তা বুধবার কলকাতা বামফ্রন্টের প্রতিনিধিদলের সঙ্গে আলোচনাতে তা পরিষ্কার করে দিয়েছেন পুলিশের শীর্ষ আধিকারিকরা। লালবাজার অভিযান নিয়ে বুধবার দুপুর ১টা নাগাদ সদর দপ্তরে পুলিশ প্রশাসনের অনুরোধে কলকাতা জেলা বামফ্রন্টের প্রতিনিধিরা আলোচনায় বসেছিলেন। বৈঠকে বারেবারে উঠে আসে মঙ্গলবার রাতে বেলেঘাটায় তৃণমূলীদের আক্রমণ এবং সেই সঙ্গে পুলিশের নিষ্ক্রিয়তার কথাও। এদিনের বাম প্রতিনিধিদলের নেতৃত্ব দেন কলকাতা জেলা বামফ্রন্টের বর্ষীয়ান নেতা দিলীপ সেন। প্রতিনিধিদলে ছিলেন অনাদি সাহু, তরুণ ব্যানার্জি, জীবন সাহা, প্রবীর দে, তপন মিত্র প্রমুখ। কলকাতা পুলিশের তরফে এদিনের বৈঠকে বসেছিলেন কলকাতা পুলিশের যুগ্ম কমিশনার (সদর) রাজীব মিশ্রসহ লালবাজার পার্শ্ববর্তী এলাকার তিন ডেপুটি পুলিশ কমিশনার। উপস্থিত ছিলেন কলকাতা পুলিশের যুগ্ম কমিশনার (ইনটেলিজেন্স) দিলীপ ব্যানার্জি।


পুলিশের তরফে প্রথম থেকেই মিছিল না করার প্রস্তাব দেওয়া হয়েছিলো। বামফ্রন্ট প্রতিনিধিরা দৃঢ়তার সঙ্গেই তা নাকচ করে দেন। এরপরে পুলিশ তিন দিক থেকে আসা মিছিলকে এক জায়গায় মিশিয়ে দেওয়ার প্রস্তাব দেয়। কিন্তু এই প্রশ্নেও নিজেদের ঘোষিত কর্মসূচির অবস্থান থেকে সরেননি বাম প্রতিনিধিদল। কলকাতা পুলিশের যুগ্ম কমিশনার (সদর) রাজীব মিশ্রকে পরিষ্কার বলে দেওয়া হয়, বৃহস্পতিবারের লালবাজার চলো কর্মসূচি শান্তিপূর্ণভাবেই হবে। তবুও পুলিশ আটকে দিলে যেখানে আটকে দেবে সেখানে দাঁড়িয়েই চলবে বিক্ষোভ সমাবেশ। লালবাজার চলো অভিযানের ডেপুটেশন খোদ পুলিশ কমিশনারের হাতেই দেওয়া হবে বলে এদিন পরিষ্কার জানিয়ে দিয়েছেন প্রতিনিধিদল।


পরে বামফ্রন্ট নেতৃত্ব স্পষ্টভাবে জানান, আমরা শান্তিপূর্ণভাবেই কর্মসূচি করতে চাই। তবে যদি পুলিশ বাধা দেয়, আমাদের মিছিল আটকে দেয় তবে সেই বাধা অতিক্রম করেই লালবাজার পর্যন্ত যেতে বদ্ধপরিকর থাকবেন মিছিলে অংশগ্রহণকারী মানুষজন। পুলিশের কথায় কর্মসূচির চরিত্র বদলে যাবে না। পুলিশ যদি অবাঞ্ছিত পরিস্থিতি তৈরি করতে চায় তাহলে তার দায় বর্তাবে সরকার, প্রশাসনের ওপরেই।


গোটা দেশের বিভিন্ন রাজ্যে অপরাধের হার ও প্রবণতা নিয়ে সমীক্ষা চালানো একটি বেসরকারি সংস্থার সর্বশেষ রিপোর্টে দেখা গেছে, গত তিন বছরে কলকাতা শহরে অপরাধ বৃদ্ধির হার ৭৩.১৭শতাংশ। সংগঠিত অপরাধ, ডাকাতির ঘটনার হার প্রায় ৪৯ শতাংশ। ন্যাশনাল ক্রাইম রেকর্ড ব্যুরোর সাম্প্রতিক রিপোর্ট জানাচ্ছে কেবলমাত্র ২০১৪ সালেই কলকাতা শহরে কগনিজেবল অফেন্স অর্থাৎ গ্রেপ্তারি পরোয়ানা জারি হয়েছে এমন অপরাধের সংখ্যা ২৬হাজার ১৬১টি।


প্রকাশ্যে শহরের রাস্তায় তৃণমূলী দুষ্কৃতীদের গুলির লড়াইয়ে প্রাণ হারাচ্ছেন সাধারণ যুবক, সামান্য কলেজের ছাত্র সংসদ নির্বাচনে তৃণমূলের গুলিতে পুলিশ অফিসার লুটিয়ে পড়ছেন রাস্তায়, নির্বাচনের দিন তৃণমূলের গুলি লেগে হাসপাতালে ভর্তি হচ্ছেন পুলিশকর্মী - এ দৃশ্যই ক্রমেই সহজলভ্য হয়ে উঠেছে কলকাতা মহানগরীতে। রাতের কলকাতায় পুলিশি নজরদারি বলে যে কিছু নেই তা বারবার প্রমাণ হতে থাকা সত্ত্বেও কোন ব্যবস্থা নেননি উর্দিধারীরা। শাসক তৃণমূলের শীর্ষস্তর থেকে আসা প্রশ্রয়েই যে দুষ্কৃতীরা বেপরোয়া হয়ে উঠেছে তা বারেবারে প্রমাণিত হয়েছে। সূত্রপাত হয়েছিল ২০১১ সালের নভেম্বরের প্রথম সপ্তাহেই। সেদিনই মুখ্যমন্ত্রী ইঙ্গিত দিয়েছিল, অপরাধীরা যাই করুক না কেন তৃণমূলের ছাতার তলায় থাকলে সাত খুন মাফ। ২০১১ সালের ৬ই নভেম্বর রাতে শব্দবিধি লঙ্ঘনের দায়ের ভবানীপুর থানার পুলিশ চারজনকে গ্রেপ্তার করে। প্রতিবাদে রাতেই তৃণমূলীরা থানায় হামলা চালায়, ঘেরাও করে। খবর পৌঁছায় মুখ্যমন্ত্রীর কানে। মধ্যরাতেই সপার্ষদ মুখ্যমন্ত্রী হাজির থানায়। তৎকালী পুলিশ কমিশনার রঞ্জিত পচনন্দার সামনেই অভিযুক্তদের ছাড়িয়ে নিয়ে চলে যান মুখ্যমন্ত্রী। সেদিনই যে ছবি আঁকা হয়েছিল তার পুনরাবৃত্তি ঘটেছে শহরের সব প্রান্তেই।


বেলেঘাটায় মঙ্গলবার রাতে তৃণমূলী হামলার ঘটনায় এদিন রাত পর্যন্ত কাউকে গ্রেপ্তার করে উঠতে পারেনি পুলিশ। সুকান্ত মঞ্চের সামনে সেই জায়গাতেই এদিন প্রতিবাদ সভা করার কথা ছিল। কিন্তু সেখানেই তৃণমূলীরা এদিন মঞ্চ বেঁধে রাখে যাতে বামফ্রন্ট নেতৃত্ব সেখানে সভা করতে না পারে। পুলিশ এখানেও দর্শকের ভূমিকায়। পুলিশ-তৃণমূলী এই যৌথ সন্ত্রাসের প্রতিবাদে ও লালবাজার অভিযান সফল করার আহ্বানে এদিন রাতে বেলেঘাটা থানার বিপরীতে প্রতিবাদ সভা হয়। বক্তব্য রাখেন মানব মুখার্জি, অনাদি সাহু, রূপা বাগচী, জামির মোল্লা, ইন্দ্রজিৎ ঘোষ, ধ্রুবজ্যোতি চক্রবর্তী, ফরওয়ার্ড ব্লকের ঝুমা দাস। সভাপতিত্ব করেন প্রশান্ত চ্যাটার্জি।


'লালবাজার চলো' কর্মসূচি সফল করতে এদিন দুপুরে কলকাতা কর্পোরেশনে শ্রমিক-কর্মচারীরা মিছিল করেন। মিছিল শেষে সভাও হয়। কলকাতা কর্পোরেশন এলাকার ১৪১টি ওয়ার্ড এলাকাতেই এদিন চলে প্রচার অভিযান, মিছিল, পথসভা।

https://youtu.be/dt2xUV0c8JgLet Me Speak Human! The Inflated Economy kills not only Agrarian communities,it would kill Indian Business as well as Industry!

I am not a politician.I have not to reach the masses in the same way as the politicians and Icons do reach.Just I am speaking the relevant issues for the survival of humanity and nature and I have nothing to do with political equations.But I am not allowed to speak.We have been displaced from Print,we have been deprived of civic and human rights and now,we have to be deported from social media.Just because we,the Indians live in a digital India which has reduced the economy into an inflated balloon without blood,flesh or bone just for trickling trickling growth.


Indian people have no space for public hearing.Even I being a part of media for forty two years at least and associated with Indian Express,I am not allowed to speak out human!I have been warning the CII,FICCI and Indian Inc that the domestic market flooded with foreign capital,companies and interests would not only kill the nature,nature associated people,it would also kill Indian business and industries.


The financial management is only concerned with only one problem and it is the maintenance of cash liquidity,the supply of cash and purchasing power to the public so that the markets would be space into the space!They seem not to be interested to address the basic problems of the economy not at all.


FM lauds RBI move to cut rates quite aggressively to boost the market.The Market is already boosted with seventh pay commission recommended and the pay calculator yet to be implemented.Government employees crowd the market hoping better payscale,bonus and allowances.But they remain quite unaware of the fact that the labour laws being modified,service span reduced to 33 years and payscale linked to productivity ,they might be declared inefficient any time.


Reset development 17 point goals development has the singular point of agenda which is total privatization,total disinvestment and total FDI.Already India overlapped USA and China in FDI flow.Foreign companies taking over every sector would not afford the bear the overloaded manpower in any sector and large scale retrenchment seems quite mandatory.Anybody might lose ob anywhere,anytime.The children would have to opt for service sector as only source of employment in digital India is outsourcing and so our political leader is behaving like a Rock Star in the silicon valley to ensure total surveillance of biometric,digital,robotic,cloned citizenship deprived of privacy and sovereignty.


India becomes south Global amidst diplomatic disaster as India,essentially a hindu Nation right since 15th August,1947 with transfer of power and transfer of population,inflicted with continuous partition,inflicted with continuous population,inflicted with unprecedented violence continuous,continuous displacement and continuous refugee influx.


Thus,India intervenes in Nepal which is going to prove a diplomatic disaster for India and united States of America as the globe is not going to remain as unipolar for many a days as Russia rises from the dust and it has warned that it would not allow the Lebiya drama in Seria! Neither China would tolerate any external intervention.

Indian Hindu Nation wants Nepal to become a Hindu Nation ruled by monarchy again!


But the sovereign Nepal has opted for a secular and democratic constitution.India ends in economic blockade of Nepal.Now,people in Nepal burn the effigy of Indian PM and they burn Indian flag.Indian TV  Channels blocked.Now Nepal has to seek Chinese help.It means India clears the decks for a Chinese intervention in Nepal.It is diplomatic disaster for Indian and US diplomacy which want to stop China!

Let us come back to Economy.Lastweek,the united Nations adopted 17 ambitious goals(SDGs),which aim to wipe out poverty ,fight inequality and tackle climate change over next 15 years!


I am most concerned with this climate change.As Kolkata is very very hot in winter and six sasons have reduced to one.That is Summer only,Rains come within Summer and the winter is also submerged into Summer.


The class rule,the caste class hegemony rooted in Manusmriti and behaving Hindutva to reduce political leadership into the agent of marketing agent,the military state is not concerned with environment, ecology, biocycle or climate change.


The humanity is deculturized,deprived of language, dialects, linguistics, phonetics and aesthetics!

As Sundrelal Bahuguna warned long before that the glaciers melting and glaciers convert themselves into deserts and humanity would be deprived of food and water.I am explaining this human calamity,this Greek Tragedy we opted.And I am blocked!

Indian Express reports:

Modi ahead of us ... visits need to be backed up with action on ground: Raghuram Rajan

Modi ahead of us ... visits need to be backed up with action on ground: Raghuram Rajan

Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan today described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as being "ahead of us" but said his visits abroad need to be backed up with "action on the ground".

Pay off time for PM Modi: India displaces China, US as the top FDI destination in 2015

First Post reports:


The report titled "India grabs investment league pole position" was forwarded by the Finance Ministry, according to a PTI report. The report has come just as Modi has concluded his tour of Ireland and the US. He is slated to visit the UK in November.


The FT report said India has attracted $31 billion of FDI in the first half of 2015, ahead of $28 billion of China and $27 billion of the US.


"A ranking of the top destinations for greenfield investment (measured by estimated capital expenditure) in the first half of 2015 shows India at number one, having attracted roughly $3 billion more than China and $4 billion more than the US," the FT report said.


The report also said the country is in the pole position to pass both China and US in FDI flows this year as it has outperformed others in economic growth, bucking the apparent slowdown in emerging markets.


"With midyear data on greenfield FDI now in, 2015 looks to be a milestone year for India following its impressive performance in 2014," the report said.


India is tracking well ahead of where it was at this time last year: it has more than doubled its midyear investment levels, attracting $30 billion by the end of June 2015 compared with $12 billion in the first half of last year.


India's achievement this year is particularly significant, considering that 97 of the 154 countries that are counted as emerging markets are seeing a decline in capital spend year on year in greenfield projects, the report pointed out.


The report said that in 2014 India ranked fifth in terms of capital investment, after China, the US, the UK and Mexico.


"In a year when many major FDI destinations posted declines, India experienced one of 2014's best FDI growth rates, increasing its number of projects by 47%," it said.


That year India saw a capital inflow of $24 billion, while China topped with $75 billion and the US at the second slot with $51 billion. The UK with a $35 billion capex was the thrid and Mexico ($33 billion) the fourth.


For sure, the FT report will help the government answer the criticisms on frequent foreign tours made by Modi and also the slow pace of some of the much-needed reforms. The officials are already projecting the report as a stamp of approval for the various measures taken by the government over the last one year.


"In the past one year, the government has initiated a number of measures to improve the investment climate and ease of doing business. Several policy initiatives and reforms have also been undertaken. The higher FDI inflows are reflective of the growing positive sentiment about India as an investment destination," economic affairs secretary Shaktikanta Das has told the Business Standard.

And the alarming reality:

Oct 01 2015 : The Economic Times (Kolkata)

Revival Hopes Push Valuations Ahead of Profit Growth





FY15 NET PROFIT for one out of every three of the BSE 500 companies is lower than what it was 5 years ago; PEs above FY11 average levels

ET Intelligence Group: The gap between reality and expectations has widened in Dalal Street as investors continue to bet on hopes of a revival in the Indian economy. The outcome is valuations of some of the top companies running well ahead of their profit growth.

And, chances are that a greater number of market participants would bet on a better economic environment after RBI's decision to aggressively cut rate. They also hope that lenders would pass on the cheaper rate.

According to the ETIG's analysis, the current trailing PE multiples of 121 out of BSE200 stocks are above their five-year-ago (FY11) average levels. The cause of concern is that the FY15 net profit for one out of every three companies is lower than what it was five years ago.

Market trackers believe that the bloom in valuation reflects high hopes of a better profit growth in the next two years.

"Growth stories for these companies have changed over the past five years. Their current valuation multiples reflect the growth expectation in the next two-three years," said Hitesh Agrawal, research head, Reliance Securities.

He added that companies with sound management and proven business models would continue to command higher valuation despite a profit deceleration caused by slack demand. Most of the 39 com A panies (out of 121) that reported lower profits compared with the five-year-ago level belong to cyclical sectors like banking, capital goods, cement and power. The rest are in businesses like entertainment and media, fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), pharmaceuticals, real estate and telecom.

ACC, Adani Power, Bajaj Finserv, BHEL, Crompton Greaves, Grasim Industries, Hindalco, Larsen & Toubro, Shree Cement, Tata Power, and Wockhardt are some of the companies that continue to enjoy higher PE multiples but reported lower profits for the full year ended March 31, 2015 than that recorded five years ago.

"Over the past two fiscals, we have witnessed that analysts begin the year with high growth expectations only to taper them by the end of the year. Investors are now hoping that growth will resume in the next two years, which has generated valuation froth," said Daljeet Singh Kohli, MD, IndiaNivesh.
